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

have the same seven people every night. It's possible there
are new people and maybe that's you. Maybe that's you,
So we'd love for you to call up. You want
to talk about this, maybe yourself. I don't care about
Travis Josey. Okay, you're a man's man. You've got testosterone.

They hang up on hollering James trying to pretend to
be somebody.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Else, hollering er three times. James is already called up
trying to get on the air with a fake voice.
It has not worked. Who will be the first regular
to get on the air with a fake voice? Will
find out? Nature Boy says, what a night for Travis
and Tata to have love in the air. Rod the
ambassador of Bakersfield, says, Travis and Taylor will probably get
(24:48):
hitched at Arrowhead and charge fans five hundred dollars a seat.
That's what I said, Is that what I said? I
don't know. Maybe it's just going to come in on
a white horse.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
There's a chance in hell that gon No, they'll get
Swift is not getting married in a football stadium. She's
getting married like on you know, some place in Rhode Island.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Bracelets when they come in. No, yes, it's gonna be beautiful.
Rod says, would be five hundred dollars a seat free
hot dog and soda included, just a couple of rich
douch shoots douches. He says, uh yeah, Well, I saw
somebody say they should put it on pay per view.
I'm not paying for that.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I don't. I mean, I'm I'm probably not even what
I'm gonna put it on Hulu? Doesn't she do stuff
with Hulu? Is who is still a thing? I thought
they were going away. Disney's gonna play it. I have
no idea fill her up? Phil Rights and you should
follow one more person, man, that would that would be me?
That we can get off the number six six six.
(25:47):
My only am I following the side of the devil?
Let me check all. I was like, apparently I am.
I don't I'm gonna unfollow someone. Really, I just well,
I picked up well, I started to phone all the
all the guys that do the morning show in Minnesota,

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Well, okay, I did unfollow some, but then I have
I can follow two people. I can follow two people,
and then I can get to that number. Let's see
here the analogy that I used, he said, would have
been better. Kelsey's game was as flat as Taylor Swift's
dairy air. Uh to Ozzie was uh so so so
(26:44):
he says, Uh, the Swift News will be forgotten once
we get the Tammy in Montana hollering change engagement Out

takes on a newby Night. Hello Mike, Welcome.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Good morning, Ben and Gang, Good.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Morning, Welcome, Welcome. You're in the leadoff chair on a
newby Night. You've got a hot take on this Kelsey story.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I do.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Okay, you know first of all. Okay, So here's the
take we think for verbal knowledge around the Kansas City
Chiefs kingdom is that if the Chiefs get back to
the super Bowl and win it, he will definitely retire.
He will call it it, will go out and blaze
the glory another super Bowl that would make him have
four rings, including the ring that he's putting on Taylor's
(28:10):
hand today. Now, if they do not make the super Bowl,
now mind you, this is he's in the last year
of his current contracts, so he would have to go
back to Breadbeach and get some more money. But if
they don't make the super Bowl, we all think he's
going to come back and twenty twenty six will be
his swan song and retire after the twenty sixth season,
(28:31):
maybe after he's gotten married, maybe not. We'll see how
it depends on how Coops Broncos wanted you dethrown the
Chiefs and the AFC West Oga.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
So that's the getting. These are boots on the ground here.
This is from the Kingdom. I'm not in the kingdom.
This is from Chiefs Kingdom giving us the chatter that
they're hearing inside the kingdom right there. Now, where will
the wedding be? What do you think, Mike? Where will
the wedding take place? You think Kansas City? Is that
not big enough? They're going to like New York. They're
(29:01):
gonna have a mega wedding, some destination wedding somewhere.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
I don't think they're going to have it in Kansas City, man,
because nobody's gonna pay sixty dollars apart for the wedding
like they do for the Chiefs Games. So they're not
gonna have it at Arrowhead. I think they'll have it
at like Martha's vineyard.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah, yeah, that's a good. Yeah, like that, you're going
to have hear well, she's got multiple houses, Taylor Swipper,
She's got I know, the big ones in Rhode Island.
So that's it. Just like con there's a conclave in
Rhode Island where like the uber rich people hang out
and live. So I could see something adjacent to that
you know, and obviously Martha's vinye.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
I don't want you guys to have to wait until
they have a wedding or a parade or something like
that for you to have another Mallard meet and greet
in Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Get you back, listen. I love Kansas City. I had
a great time. I'd never been to a Chiefs game.
I went to Arrowhead, saw the Chiefs win on a
blocked extra point or blockfield goal against the Broncos there
at the end.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
It was awesome, so magical place. Brother, But he needs
to come barrow ahead at least once.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I agree it was. It was wonderful. So all right, well,
thank you, Mike. I gotta go. That's right, start the
Newby Night. Unbelievable, fantastic. Let's try to keep it going
on a Newbie night. Let's say hello to Mexico. Mike.
Who's next, Hello Mexico, Mike, welcome, Hey, good morning men,
good morning to Where are you at? Are you in Mexico?
You just that's your nickname?
Speaker 7 (30:22):
Well I'm not saying, look he's.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
In Van Eyes.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
Yeah, go ahead, no, Nonetheless, before I get to the
Kelsey swifting, I gotta bust your chops a little bit
on your mind.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
What did I do?
Speaker 7 (30:40):
You do? You say you don't have people? Yeah, you
got people. Nobody's been in the business is long and
successful as you.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
That's right. I mean I don't have like there's daytime people.
I don't have Mike. I don't have daytime people. You
know what I mean? I got Pee, I don't have
daytime We're very kind though to say that, think that
was a compliment.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Well it was so think Nonetheless, I like betting on
anything NFL. Oh, my bed is what's the opening even
money line that Kelsey and Swift.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
Even get married.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah. I haven't checked the odds. I wasn't gonna bring
this up. I'll bring it up now. The gambling market
did make an adjustment. The odds on Taylor Swift headlining
the Super Bowl halftime show went way up. Well, you,
I gotta tell you, I don't buy that. Here's why, Okay,
because if the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl, why
would she she's gonna want to watch the game, why
(31:36):
is she going to do the halftime show? And if
they're not in the super Bowl, why's she going to perform?
Because that's embarrassing because her husband's not in the game,
so I don't I don't buy that.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
Well, that's true. And the other thing is, if they
could do it, what's the over under on how many
pages the pre nup is?
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah, well I said in the model, it's gonna be
like the US Constitution. It's bigger than that. Yeah, And
don't you isn't there some.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Kind of rule?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
And I don't know this because I don't have any
real money, so I didn't have to worry about the prenup.
But if you have a lot of money, you have
to there's a certain like for the prenup to hold up.
You have to have it done like it is it
in advancity engagement. How's it? How exactly worry? I know
it's obviously before the wedding I've been married.
Speaker 7 (32:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, I know there have been some prenup agreements that
have fallen out in court because they didn't get stuff
done in the right timeline. And so but yeah, we'll
find I guess we'll find out. That'll be coming out
in the next couple of days. The prenup there. Good
luck with your good luck with you're gambling. I thank Mexico.

Josh Allen at the very top time now though. For
the tire Iraq Play of the night, It's an NL
East showdown in the Big Apple, the fighting Phills on
the road taking on the New York Metropolitans. The Mets
had a lead, they blew the lead, and Brandon Nemos
(36:49):
stepped up in the ninth inning and delivered two on
Amo swinging a line in the left center base had
put it in the box for that's up. Made it
two straight up over the Phillies. Harte stores from third, the.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Mets pouring out of the duckout Nemo's waiting farm between
first and second. Here comes the shower of water and
sunflower seeds. How the group buck happy Mets are jumping
up and down celebrating a six to five win over
Joelan Duran and the Phillies.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
All right, Howie Rose on Mets radio with the call
Brandon Nimo the single there to win the game of
the night. Peter Alonzo had four hits. The Mets didn't
win that game six to five, and so the Mets
still trailing the Phillies. The Mets have now won four
of five. They were five and sixteen in the stretch
of twenty one games when they won for their last five.
(37:41):
That is the tire rack play of the night. For
over forty years, tyraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship
fast end freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tire raq dot com.
The way tire buying should be. Let's go to the
vaults and we'll say a little Let's go to Dave,
who's got more breaking news on Kelsey. What's going on? David. Welcome,
(38:05):
It's good to talk to you.
Speaker 8 (38:06):
Ben Hey. I'm thinking about this whole Taylor Swift and
Travis Kelty thing. I like the couple, but you know,
it's really interesting their age. I think they're in their
early to mid thirties, and I think her biological clock
is kicking. And one challenge for him his career is
kind of winding down in the NFL, and what I'm
(38:27):
thinking is that's the biggest risk. Could he lives as
one of the best kept men in America or potentially
a sugar daddy. That's one of those things that people
are going to pick on him if he continues to
play football.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Yeah, well yeah, he'd be the sugar baby. Yeah, he
would definitely not be the sugar daddy. I mean you
do you do understand the dynamic here, right, I mean
you understand that Taylor Swift is a made woman. You
understand that, right?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (38:53):
I may have misspoke there, Ben, Yeah, but in essence,
her wealth surpasses his, even though.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
She's worth I think he's like eight hundred million or
something like that. Yeah, that's uh, it's pretty good, right,
eight hundred million, he's worth eight No, she's Taylor Swift's
worth eight hundred million.
Speaker 8 (39:12):
Oh, she's worth it. How about you think Travis is worth?
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Travis is worth According to the Interweb, Travis Kelsey's worth
one hundred and thirty million. So it's not bad. I
think he'll be able to pay his bills, he'll be
able to have to worry about when the taxes go
up and all that stuff. You'll be in good shape, right, yeah,
you know, at least.
Speaker 8 (39:34):
It sounds like there's the wealth of disparity is disparity
isn't that great?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
So what are you talking about with that seven hundred
million dollars. That's even massive disparity.
Speaker 8 (39:47):
But I mean, it's not like he needs her money.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Well, but if you can get her money, you know,
this could be the A lot of women have taken
men's money. This could be a win for the men.
You know, get Taylor Swift's money. Come on, Travis, come on.
Here we go. Welcome, It's our numb bur one and
it's the story everyone's talking about, the big sporty romance.
What are the chances that Travis Kelce pulled off a
shock engagement with Taylor Swift? We'll talk about that here
in our one of the Ben Malers Show on this Wednesday,
(00:20):
August twenty seventh. Will there be a prenup between Taylor
Swift and Travis Kelce? Do we even need to ask?
And does chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's engagement to Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Mean?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
That's all? She wrote that twenty twenty five will be
his final NFL season. Will cover all the bases right
now in our number one, the ree is the thing?
Or is it? Welcome in not beginning of another night
(00:53):
of the Ben Malord Show. We are in the air everywhere.
We take the plane up in the air, the Red
Eye flight as you listen and we talk, attempting to
make inroads coast to coast, border to border and beyond.
On the mast and enormously powerful microphones of FSR AM
(01:19):
moundating live do it live from the complex, the middle
of the industrial complex of the Hot Sports take the
world famous Fox Sports radio studios as approved by Danny,
the guy that famously Danny's from Nashville, but he lives
in Miami now and he listens to the podcast because
he works at the dreaded day Shift. And Danny came
(01:41):
to visit us here in Los Angeles and hid in
the bushes outside the studio. He literally hid in the
bushes outside the studio. That's his claim to fame with
the show. This portion of the program made possible in
part by our friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years,
that's two generations, ty Iraq has been helping customers the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
(02:04):
fast and freeback by, free road hazard protection, with convenient
installation options. I know, Ferg Dog, that's a big deal.
Ferg Dog always says that's a big deal. That in Pickles,
big deal. And those convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
and they'll even come to Ferg Dog's mom's house where
(02:24):
he lives there. Tire rack dot Com, the Way Tire
Buying show'd be so our lead this hour. There was
some debate in the newsroom that I have a couple
of I'm like blind Scott, I've got multiple personalities, and
there's a couple of voices. I would like to put
it as a newby knight. So today's a Newbie night,
which means all new colors. So Mike the Leprechaun out,
(02:48):
blind Scott out, no moss for hollering, James Lucky Tony, No, No,
that's a blow to me. No, Lucky Tony, I cannot
do it. Jet who led not gonna be aware? Now
what's gonna happen is what normally happens is some of
the regulars are such attention whores that they will attempt
to call up with fake voices and try to get
(03:10):
past the goalkeeper. So you have to listen to see
if any of the regulars get on with an alias.
Always a fun degree of difficulty to Newby Night is
which regulars are so desperate for airtime that they will
use now angry Bill used to do this all the time.
But Bill has some health problems. He didn't call a
show much anymore. So. But who's going to step off?
(03:34):
That's the question. So it is a newbie night. I'll
give out the number in a little bit. I got
a rant here. It's called a Mallard monologue at the
top of every hour, every hour on the hour, it's
a malar monologue, boom, just like that. So I was
going to lead the show with a different story. However,
my brigadier generals in the Mala Militia, I listen when
(03:56):
they speak. So I really want to tip the cap
to Justin and Cincinnati and Robbie the Mariner fan. They
reached out to me. I was sleeping and I woke
up to a couple of frantic messages. Justin in Cincinnati
specifically requested that I lead off the show with this story.
Justin said, you know, he just loves love. I think
(04:18):
that's what he said. He just loves love, and he
plays a schmuck on social media, complete a hole all that.
But it's just an act. It's just performance art. That's
all he does. And they said, both Robbie the Mariner
Fan and Justin and Cincinnati. The way I interpreted their
messages was that I would be committing a sports talk
radio felony if I avoided the Komodo dragon in the room.
(04:42):
The story that everyone's been yapping about here, it's crossover story.
So boys, your wish is my command. Tabloyd Mallord has arrived, tadda, yeah,
I know. Well we do broadcasting, not narrowcash and play
the hits. Mom, Man, what of our old bosses used
to say? So Taylor Swift, I'm told she's kind of
(05:02):
a big deal. I'm told she's kind of a big deal.
Taylor Swift, who apparently does some singing and gets paid
for it. And Travis Kelsey, who used to be good
at football, and then I don't know what that was
in the Super Bowl last year. Anyway, they're now engaged.
Oh my god, sweet baby Jesus, they're engaged. They announced
(05:23):
the news in a joint post on The Graham very exciting.
Kelsey went into a garden, a literal garden. I don't
know where the garden was, and he asked Taylor Swift,
the most famous woman in the world, I'm told to
marry him. And apparently she said yes. So there you go.
(05:43):
All right, So how does that work in sports radio?
How is that a sports talk radio talking point? Well,
you're about to find out. So let's discuss the question.
What are the chances that Travis Kelsey pulled off a
shock engagement, That this was a surprise, this was unexpected,
that this came out of nowhere. So I've got on
(06:05):
this one. I've got waffle house, humped back whale, and
Roman candle, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make your Babushka's favorite gulash.
Is what we're going to do. Four year Babushka. We're
going to do that, all right. So A to answer
the question, the chances that Travis Kelsey pulled off a
(06:29):
shock engagement that Taylor Swift had no idea that he
was going to pop the question, Uh, the chances are
slimming none, and slim took the first flight out of
Dodge See you later. This was obviously carefully curated for
human consumption, for your consumption, I guess from mine. I slept,
I was. I woke up to it, but yeah, I had.
(06:50):
You had the photos. You had the diamond ring, which
I guess could could like use as a reflector for
mahomes on deep asses and all that stuff. And they
had a little cute post there, your English teacher and
your gym teacher are getting married. I never had an
English teacher like that. I never had a gym teacher
(07:13):
like that. I did not have a gym teacher that
looked like that. I had a gym teacher that wore
short shorts, had a whistle around his neck and really
short shorts. And then I had a lot of English
teachers that were very old, very old, and had been
beaten by life. That's what I had. That's what I had.
(07:34):
But this was cute, folksy, quirky and all that stuff,
all those words right there, and it was blasted across
every single corner of the world wide web there within seconds,
the interweb all over the place. Now does that sound organic?
That maybe the back of the room it sounds organic.
(07:55):
Possibly the back of the answer is sure. If organic
means like tupperware, there's a place somewhere where I think
it's in South America where they grow tupperware. No, and
we've learned this actually happened two weeks ago. This is
a two week old story. It didn't get out for
two weeks. Now, nothing I underand nothing in celebrity culture
(08:15):
is organic. It does not exist. Now, organic is a
marketing term, we should point that out, but organic is
you know what organic is? An organic proposal is going
to Now this guy we met Dante in Vegas and
his plan he's going to do this. I'm telling you,
this guy's become loaded, a rich, loaded guy with waffle house.
(08:36):
He's going to open the first waffle house in Vegas.
So the organic way to propose is to ten years
from now, go to Dante's waffle House in Vegas in
the parking lot at three in the morning while eating
the sausage egg gritz bowl, and you've got the ring
still in the You got the ring and he came
out of a plastic claw machine. The engagement ring came
(08:59):
out of a plast the claw machine from inside. And
then that's the engagement. Now, this this was all the
Kelsey engagement was obviously chorey craft. It was I would say,
months in the making, knowing a little bit about how
that world works. And you had Taylor Swift's people. You've
got Kelsey's got people. See I don't have people like
(09:21):
when you're that fit, you got people. I don't have people.
You know, we don't. I don't have that. But they
got people. You had the jeweler involved, So there's a jeweler.
You know people. You know, there's got to be a back.
So everyone loves a story, right. You go to restaurants
and the menus at the restaurants are well, here's our
story about huh we became you know, it was blah
blah blah blah blah. We learned how to make fighter
Trainey ol Fredo in Italy while drunk. You know. It's
(09:43):
an old family. Everyone's got to have a story, right,
Everyone loves a story. We learned from stories. It's a
very big deal. So you got to have a story.
It's not just an engagement ring. There's a story to.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
It, right.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
It's got some special meaning that will come out. It's
all hands on deck, all hands on deck. And uh,
and of course it's not a love story so much,
even though Justin and Cincinnati told me it was a
love story and Robbie the Mariner fan. It's an event.
It's an event, and yet it's it's also in weird.
Wait it is sporty, right, That's the part that kind
of fascinates me that this is somehow he's sports story.
(10:14):
But apparently it is. And page two, will there be
a prenup? Will there be a prenup between Taylor Swift
and Travis kelcey? Okay, so it does a humpback whale
swim in the ocean? Does a humpback whale Swift, of course,
but he just saw Tyreek Hill who got married for
(10:37):
was his seventeen months, and he gave the woman he
was with five hundred thousand dollars for seventeen months, plus
like twenty grand a month to spend, because we all
need twenty grand a month to spend, plus a five
million dollar house, plus lawyer fees, plus this plan. So
you cant dollars to donuts, dollars to absolutely right, come
(11:00):
on now, of course you better believe there is going
to be a prenup here that Taylor Swift's legal team,
her lawyers have already drafted a prenup up that I
believe runs longer than the United States Constitution. It's bigger
than the US Constitution. And Travis Kelce is rich. It's
not like Travis Kelsey doesn't have money. He's rich. However,
(11:23):
Taylor Swift is wealthy. There's a difference between rich and wealthy.
And that's the point of the marcation, right, that's the
point of demarket. So does this engagement end in marriage?
Not all engagements end in marriage. History tells us that
when it comes to celebrity engagements, it's a Benny versus
(11:45):
the penny situation. It's a coin flip, it's a co
Has Taylor Swift already written a song about this? How
about that? You think she's already got a song in
the tank?
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Hell?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yes, absolutely, it's either on her phone owns notes app
like I put a lot of stuff on my notes
app on my phone, Like I'll have a random thought.
I was driving in and I had there was something
I wanted to rant about on the podcast. I'm gonna
save it for this weekend, but there was something I
saw that really annoyed me, and I used my weekend
(12:17):
podcast This is Therapy to complain about things that annoyed me.
So I saw this and I said, I want to
rant about that because that really annoyed me. So I'll
do that at some point this weekend. But I used
the notes appage, so she's probably put it on there,
or other people wrote the song for her, or maybe
it's already been recorded. Who knows? Will they elope? Will they?
(12:38):
Absolutely not? You think they're gonna alope. They're not eloping.
They're not going to the Elvis Chapel in Vegas with
our favorite taxi cab driver from Boston who lives in Vegas.
He's not gonna take him to the Elvis Chapel for
a shotgun wedding. That is not happening. And I've been
told by people that are very important, and this is
American royalty. This is an American royal riting. We've never had.
(13:00):
I had an American royal wedding. They put those other
weddings from Europe on and they get big numbers, big numbers,
and so this thing will be It'll be televised, commercialized.
You'll have the Swifties all over it, right, they'll be there.
You've got the Chiefs Kingdom and Kelsey's crowd. They'll be
(13:21):
blending together in one giant ven diagram right there. Adoring fans.
Oh my, wonderful. And of course I am not a
fan of either. I don't hate either or anything like that.
But I'll just be along for the ride here. Some
of you have sent me email telling me that Travis
Kelsey made a deal with the devil and he's a
(13:43):
lizard person. Now, so maybe that's the case. I don't
know if that's the case or not, but listen, I'll
consume this. I'm in the content business. I will consume it.
I will mock it. That's what I do. I get
paid to consume things and to mock things, and I'll
either secretly love it or hate it, or maybe a
little bit of both, and it's fine. That's the business
I've chosen. That's what we do here. That's also what
(14:04):
you do as well. We all have strong opinions. It's
the culture, and you know it's sports, but it's not
sports except when it is sports. And now I gotta
tell you, personally, I have not this is something that's
changed in my life time. I have not understood the
obsession of the tight end celebrity. I don't understand. It's
(14:28):
something that did not exist in my childhood. This is
a thing that has happened as I've grown and become
an adult. I guess I'm not smart enough to figure
it out. But back in my day, here's a back
in my day story. A tight end was a glorified
offensive lineman. That's what a tight end was. And occasionally
the tight end would catch a pass, but really only
(14:49):
if the quarterback got bored, they'd throw the tight end
a pass. And that's about it. That's about it. Now
they're dating pop stars, Now they're engaging in the hosting podcast.
They're on television like Gronkowski and all that stuff, and
they're auditioning for roles in movies. These tight ends. What
a amazing dichotomy from what it had been the tight
(15:10):
end position. Travis Kelsey's out there, he's galloping around like
a golden retriever who found a glitter cannon. And that's
pretty much like now now the last word on this
on a newbie night, the last word, does Chiefs tight
end Travis Kelsey's engagement? Did Taylor Swift mean asta la vista?
(15:34):
The twenty twenty five NFL season is going to be?
All she wrote?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
It so? If you look at this from thirty thousand
feet up in the sky, Travis Kelsey is going the
old Aerosmith Piece Out farewell tour. He's doing the old
peace Out farewell tour on this. Before he trades in
the playbook, he's going to give the playbook back and
he's going to get so horribly cheesy movie scripts. And
(16:02):
you can play another waiter in a future Adam Sandler movie.
Knock yourself out here. Now, the Chiefs will not say
their brass will not say retirement. The R word they
won't say retirement, but I promise you they're already preparing
a statue, whether it be at Arrowhead or whether it
be at another venue in the Greater Kansas City slash Kansas,
(16:26):
you know, across the state line there in the Greater
Kansas City area. Well, we have a lot of friends,
you know, show's done very well there. I recommend when
they get the wedding, I believe the people that should
take care of the food. Everyone's worried about wedding food.
What better at the Travis Kelcey wedding to Taylor Swift
than the landing in Liberty, Missouri? Serving Ben Mallard chicken
(16:49):
fingers at the Kelsey Taylor Swift wedding. Perfect, They're right there.
It's a people think of Kansas City as a barbecue city,
but really it's a anyways, it's more of a chicken
finger city. Would just be perfect, would just be absolutely perfect.
But he'll get a statue, we'll get the old tribute
(17:10):
video and all this stuff. Now this is not just
random late night speculation, is not. It is the slow
motion exit, the slow motion and then you've got the
swifty soundtrack that's playing underneath this and Kelsey's body kind
of like the Haunted mansion at Disney's creaking a little
(17:32):
bit a little bit. His yards per catch numbers going down, down, down, down, down, down,
down down down. That super Bowl performance, my god, that
was about as flat as a Taylor Swift final record.
That was wow. My god. Now Kelsey, not only is
(17:52):
he aging in front of our eyes, he's also his
future is this he's auditioning. This is his future as
a distant relative of Nostradamis and friend of Nostra Denis.
He lives in Seattle. I saw him again. We had
a pow wow in Vegas with his wife, whose very
nice woman, except she's a vegan anyway, so vegetarian being
(18:16):
in the same anyway, to me, it's the same thing.
So here's the future of Travis Kelcey. I've looked into
the future. His future is auditioning for the role of
former athlete number three in the upcoming Netflix rom com
to be named later. That's what he's got in the future.
And he's got I know who, he's got his little
Meathead podcast, I know the Meathead megaphone. You guys love
(18:40):
jock talk, And there you go. Got Travis Kelcey and
his other meathead brother, Jason Kelcey. The two meatheads, two
slobs of meat right there, slabs of meat talking, and
they can riff a couple of retired dudes and have
that little ring light on. And that's the way to
do it right. Everyone loves audio content. Everyone's got a
podcast these days. Why not Trav Kelsey, He'll be going
(19:01):
out like a Roman candle, Just like a Roman candle here,
a loud, flashy and slightly off target, just a little
off target. And then in retirement, Travis kelce can ride
Taylor Swift's bejeweled body suits right right, why not? And
(19:21):
uh pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
and all that stuff. So Kelsey's storybook ending. That's it.
It'll be storyboarded somewhere in Burbank at one of the
studios over there in Burbank, and a big movie coming
to a theater near you. It is the Ben Mather
Show on a newbie night, all right, for newbie night.
(19:42):
It's a newbie night. Who that means all new cars.
So now we know a lot of the people that
call the show. We know their backstory, we know where
they grew up, we know way too much about the
people that call the show every night. So if we
don't know that much about you, then that means you're
you're qualified as a newbie. And this is this is
(20:04):
a night where we're able to find the next star
calls to the show, and you're more than welcome to joints.
And maybe no one will call. I'll just do caller
free ratio. We have no new people. Listen, we only
have the same seven people every night. It's possible there
are new people and maybe that's you. Maybe that's you,
So we'd love for you to call up. You want
to talk about this, maybe yourself. I don't care about
Travis Josey. Okay, you're a man's man. You've got testosterone.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Back to it all, right, back to it. It is
a newbie night all new callers. Holy crap on the
live air, Yes you're on, you could be. We have
not heard from him in a while. What what happened
to our buddy? He called the other day? But I
think when Noah's in, Oh oh, did he okay? Is
that right? He did? Okay? So you think he takes
(23:25):
three hour showers still and the whole, the whole deal.
And yeah, he's one of the great chart Well, I
hope to see him. I'll be back at those NFL games.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
He started talking about the o J case and Brian
was just he wouldn't, wouldn't have it, didn't yet, did not.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
You do not know what to do with it. You
have to it's overnight radio. You have to embrace the
lunatics to call up. You can't. You can't. You're not
doing a midday show somewhere exactly.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
And then helmet Man got mad at me because Brian
was like, what are you talking about? And how mat
Man goes Coop didn't tell you this is what I'm
gonna talk about.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
It's a beauty of helmet Man. He's our legal correspondent.
He'll be he'll be breaking down to the OJ kiss. Now,
what's the other big celebrity trial. Let's see, Well, the
Diddy thing, but that's that's too new. He's got twenty
years from now he'll be he'll be breaking that down.
So it's a new beet, which means all the regulars
are really upset. Uh. They don't like that. I don't
like that at all. They're annoyed by this.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
They hang up on hollering James trying to pretend to
be somebody.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Else, hollering er three times. James is already called up
trying to get on the air with a fake voice.
It has not worked. Who will be the first regular
to get on the air with a fake voice? Will
find out? Nature Boy says, what a night for Travis
and Tata to have love in the air. Rod the
ambassador of Bakersfield, says, Travis and Taylor will probably get
(24:48):
hitched at Arrowhead and charge fans five hundred dollars a seat.
That's what I said, Is that what I said? I
don't know. Maybe it's just going to come in on
a white horse.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
There's a chance in hell that gon No, they'll get
Swift is not getting married in a football stadium. She's
getting married like on you know, some place in Rhode Island.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Bracelets when they come in. No, yes, it's gonna be beautiful.
Rod says, would be five hundred dollars a seat free
hot dog and soda included, just a couple of rich
douch shoots douches. He says, uh yeah, Well, I saw
somebody say they should put it on pay per view.
I'm not paying for that.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I don't. I mean, I'm I'm probably not even what
I'm gonna put it on Hulu? Doesn't she do stuff
with Hulu? Is who is still a thing? I thought
they were going away. Disney's gonna play it. I have
no idea fill her up? Phil Rights and you should
follow one more person, man, that would that would be me?
That we can get off the number six six six.
(25:47):
My only am I following the side of the devil?
Let me check all. I was like, apparently I am.
I don't I'm gonna unfollow someone. Really, I just well,
I picked up well, I started to phone all the
all the guys that do the morning show in Minnesota,
(26:09):
all right, the Power Trip morning Show, because I was
on the show last week. And so then that got me.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Up to six six follow somebody, let's make let's make
this a prize or something.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Well, okay, I did unfollow some, but then I have
I can follow two people. I can follow two people,
and then I can get to that number. Let's see
here the analogy that I used, he said, would have
been better. Kelsey's game was as flat as Taylor Swift's
dairy air. Uh to Ozzie was uh so so so
(26:44):
he says, Uh, the Swift News will be forgotten once
we get the Tammy in Montana hollering change engagement Out
says that's the real power couple. Uh yeah, Tammy is
gonna go no on that. Let's see what else do
we have? Page down just josh as Justin loves Love
(27:06):
never been more true that statement. I am here for
the TMZ night, the tabloid malorzoo, and the one or
two newbies who may cross the rubicon. Well, let's go
to the newbies. It's newbie night. It's new Oh man,
this is so exciting. Who's gonna pop the cherry on
Newby Night. Let's go Enie meanie miney mall. Let's go
(27:27):
to the belly of the Beast, Cansah City or adjacent
to Kansas City. We go to Mike, who's got hot
takes on a newby Night. Hello Mike, Welcome.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Good morning, Ben and Gang, Good.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Morning, Welcome, Welcome. You're in the leadoff chair on a
newby Night. You've got a hot take on this Kelsey story.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I do.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Okay, you know first of all. Okay, So here's the
take we think for verbal knowledge around the Kansas City
Chiefs kingdom is that if the Chiefs get back to
the super Bowl and win it, he will definitely retire.
He will call it it, will go out and blaze
the glory another super Bowl that would make him have
four rings, including the ring that he's putting on Taylor's
(28:10):
hand today. Now, if they do not make the super Bowl,
now mind you, this is he's in the last year
of his current contracts, so he would have to go
back to Breadbeach and get some more money. But if
they don't make the super Bowl, we all think he's
going to come back and twenty twenty six will be
his swan song and retire after the twenty sixth season,
(28:31):
maybe after he's gotten married, maybe not. We'll see how
it depends on how Coops Broncos wanted you dethrown the
Chiefs and the AFC West Oga.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
So that's the getting. These are boots on the ground here.
This is from the Kingdom. I'm not in the kingdom.
This is from Chiefs Kingdom giving us the chatter that
they're hearing inside the kingdom right there. Now, where will
the wedding be? What do you think, Mike? Where will
the wedding take place? You think Kansas City? Is that
not big enough? They're going to like New York. They're
(29:01):
gonna have a mega wedding, some destination wedding somewhere.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
I don't think they're going to have it in Kansas City, man,
because nobody's gonna pay sixty dollars apart for the wedding
like they do for the Chiefs Games. So they're not
gonna have it at Arrowhead. I think they'll have it
at like Martha's vineyard.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah, yeah, that's a good. Yeah, like that, you're going
to have hear well, she's got multiple houses, Taylor Swipper,
She's got I know, the big ones in Rhode Island.
So that's it. Just like con there's a conclave in
Rhode Island where like the uber rich people hang out
and live. So I could see something adjacent to that
you know, and obviously Martha's vinye.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
I don't want you guys to have to wait until
they have a wedding or a parade or something like
that for you to have another Mallard meet and greet
in Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Get you back, listen. I love Kansas City. I had
a great time. I'd never been to a Chiefs game.
I went to Arrowhead, saw the Chiefs win on a
blocked extra point or blockfield goal against the Broncos there
at the end.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
It was awesome, so magical place. Brother, But he needs
to come barrow ahead at least once.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I agree it was. It was wonderful. So all right, well,
thank you, Mike. I gotta go. That's right, start the
Newby Night. Unbelievable, fantastic. Let's try to keep it going
on a Newbie night. Let's say hello to Mexico. Mike.
Who's next, Hello Mexico, Mike, welcome, Hey, good morning men,
good morning to Where are you at? Are you in Mexico?
You just that's your nickname?
Speaker 7 (30:22):
Well I'm not saying, look he's.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
In Van Eyes.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
Yeah, go ahead, no, Nonetheless, before I get to the
Kelsey swifting, I gotta bust your chops a little bit
on your mind.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
What did I do?
Speaker 7 (30:40):
You do? You say you don't have people? Yeah, you
got people. Nobody's been in the business is long and
successful as you.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
That's right. I mean I don't have like there's daytime people.
I don't have Mike. I don't have daytime people. You
know what I mean? I got Pee, I don't have
daytime We're very kind though to say that, think that
was a compliment.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Well it was so think Nonetheless, I like betting on
anything NFL. Oh, my bed is what's the opening even
money line that Kelsey and Swift.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
Even get married.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah. I haven't checked the odds. I wasn't gonna bring
this up. I'll bring it up now. The gambling market
did make an adjustment. The odds on Taylor Swift headlining
the Super Bowl halftime show went way up. Well, you,
I gotta tell you, I don't buy that. Here's why, Okay,
because if the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl, why
would she she's gonna want to watch the game, why
(31:36):
is she going to do the halftime show? And if
they're not in the super Bowl, why's she going to perform?
Because that's embarrassing because her husband's not in the game,
so I don't I don't buy that.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
Well, that's true. And the other thing is, if they
could do it, what's the over under on how many
pages the pre nup is?
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah, well I said in the model, it's gonna be
like the US Constitution. It's bigger than that. Yeah, And
don't you isn't there some.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Kind of rule?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
And I don't know this because I don't have any
real money, so I didn't have to worry about the prenup.
But if you have a lot of money, you have
to there's a certain like for the prenup to hold up.
You have to have it done like it is it
in advancity engagement. How's it? How exactly worry? I know
it's obviously before the wedding I've been married.
Speaker 7 (32:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, I know there have been some prenup agreements that
have fallen out in court because they didn't get stuff
done in the right timeline. And so but yeah, we'll
find I guess we'll find out. That'll be coming out
in the next couple of days. The prenup there. Good
luck with your good luck with you're gambling. I thank Mexico.
Mike checking in a newby knight. Oh my god, so good.

Josh Allen at the very top time now though. For
the tire Iraq Play of the night, It's an NL
East showdown in the Big Apple, the fighting Phills on
the road taking on the New York Metropolitans. The Mets
had a lead, they blew the lead, and Brandon Nemos
(36:49):
stepped up in the ninth inning and delivered two on
Amo swinging a line in the left center base had
put it in the box for that's up. Made it
two straight up over the Phillies. Harte stores from third, the.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Mets pouring out of the duckout Nemo's waiting farm between
first and second. Here comes the shower of water and
sunflower seeds. How the group buck happy Mets are jumping

installation options like mobile tire installation tire raq dot com.
The way tire buying should be. Let's go to the
vaults and we'll say a little Let's go to Dave,
who's got more breaking news on Kelsey. What's going on? David. Welcome,
(38:05):
It's good to talk to you.
Speaker 8 (38:06):
Ben Hey. I'm thinking about this whole Taylor Swift and
Travis Kelty thing. I like the couple, but you know,
it's really interesting their age. I think they're in their
early to mid thirties, and I think her biological clock
is kicking. And one challenge for him his career is
kind of winding down in the NFL, and what I'm
(38:27):
thinking is that's the biggest risk. Could he lives as
one of the best kept men in America or potentially
a sugar daddy. That's one of those things that people
are going to pick on him if he continues to
play football.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Yeah, well yeah, he'd be the sugar baby. Yeah, he
would definitely not be the sugar daddy. I mean you
do you do understand the dynamic here, right, I mean
you understand that Taylor Swift is a made woman. You
understand that, right?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (38:53):
I may have misspoke there, Ben, Yeah, but in essence,
her wealth surpasses his, even though.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
She's worth I think he's like eight hundred million or
something like that. Yeah, that's uh, it's pretty good, right,
eight hundred million, he's worth eight No, she's Taylor Swift's
worth eight hundred million.
Speaker 8 (39:12):
Oh, she's worth it. How about you think Travis is worth?
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Travis is worth According to the Interweb, Travis Kelsey's worth
one hundred and thirty million. So it's not bad. I
think he'll be able to pay his bills, he'll be
able to have to worry about when the taxes go
up and all that stuff. You'll be in good shape, right, yeah,
you know, at least.
Speaker 8 (39:34):
It sounds like there's the wealth of disparity is disparity
isn't that great?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
So what are you talking about with that seven hundred
