Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb ber three, our number three, and we
go down Tabloid Avenue.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Where are you at on.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
The tabloid report that Travis Kelcey of the Chiefs and
his new fiance Taylor Swift are going to have a
private wedding. We'll discuss that also, how do you explain
all these people offering to help two of the richest
people around get married? And Texans coach Dimico Ryans is
hyping the growth of quarterback CJ. Stroud, saying the progress
(00:35):
has been great. You buying the hype on that. And
we'll also believe it or not, talk some hockey as
Connor McDavid still is not signed on the dotted line
in Edmonton and he's playing the whole All options are
on the table card. What do you make of this one?
We'll go there as well, and we'll also have asked
(00:57):
Ben buckle up, Bukaroo, it's our number three. It's Casey
in the Sunshine Band. Well gome In the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
On the Red Eye fright flight, poppin fresh as we
provide that disco dazzle unless we don't coast to coast, border,
the border, and beyond on the vast and overwhelmingly powerful
microphones of FSR amminating live from deep in the Cave,
the Bat Cave, same bat time, same bat channel from
(01:39):
the world famous Fox Sports radio studios. Were legends like
Rich Horrera and Bob Golick have walked the hallways. That's
right and also approved by Jason in Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
We met Jason at the Big Mallard meet and greet
last November.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
At the Home of the Chicken in Liberty, Missouri. There
the one and only world fit Ben Maler Chicken figure
is only available regularly. They were in Vegas, but for
only one day only. They're at the landing in Liberty, Missouri.
So our lead this hour is from the wacky world
(02:18):
of the tabloid. Now this portion, by the way of
the Ben Malers Show, made possible in part by our
friends at Express Employment Professionals. Is it time for a
new job, then it's time for Express Employment Professionals with
the endless online job search and list the pros and
Express never charges job seekers. If we go to Expresspros
dot com, we will have ask ban that'll be coming
(02:39):
up a little bit later this hour.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Ask Ban your questions.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Our answers coming up in about half an hour or so.
You can send those questions in hashtag ask Ben on X.
But our lead this hour is from Cannes City. We
follow up the chatter heard around the gossip world the
Naked City Never sleeps And by request, I was not
(03:04):
going to talk about this, but Justin in Cincinnati, who
just loves love Justin and Cincinnati, said Ben.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Did you see the latest on this?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I said, Justin, I did not see it, and he said, Ben,
you got to talk about this again. Robbie, and I
really want you to talk about I said, you know what, Justin,
if you want me to talk about it, I'll talk
about it because you're a brigadier general in the Mallam
Militia and that carries a lot of weight.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
So here we are.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
So if you believe the whispers, I know Justin's excited
about this. The whispers are it sounds like this upcoming
nuptial situation between the chiefs tight End Travis Kelcey and
the pop diva Taylor Swift will not be the wedding
of the century.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Why not the notorious page six of the New York Post.
They're never wrong. They're never wrong in the New York Post.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
So the New York Post tells us that Travis Kelcey
and Taylor Swift plan plan to have a quote private
ceremony with family and close friends when they eventually tie
the knot. Now it will be more casual than people think.
The Post says, this comes as Flavor Flave offered to
officiate the wedding and Martha Stewart offered to plan the event.
(04:15):
You even had the governor of Colorado pretty much beg
to officiate the wedding, trying to get them to come
to the Rocky Mountains. I'm sure that's going to happen.
So let us discuss the question where are you at
on the tabloid report from page six that Travis Kelsey
and Taylor Swrift are going to have a private wedding
(04:35):
and not the wedding of the century. So I've got
George Nori, Bob Ross, and Manhattan Project, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are gonna
make the Gabba gool. We're gonna make the Gabba goool.
Al Right, So first of all, this one does not
pass the schnaz test. Okay, it doesn't. I mean, I'm
(04:57):
holding my nose. It does not pass the Schnas test.
This is America's supposedly favorite prom king and pop princess,
and whether I wanted to see it or not, it
was everywhere. The only one they didn't see it was
our old colleague Chris Broussard. But everyone else saw it.
We saw those engagement photos conveniently dropped on social media,
(05:18):
professionally lit, choreographed, branded within.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
An inch of their lives right there.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
And we're supposed to believe, you and I are supposed
to believe that Travis kelce and Taylor Swift are going
to do a backyard barbecue.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Wedding with Uncle Joe cooking some burghers and some hot dogs. Palaise.
The math ain't mathing on that. You know it, I
know it.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
The only ones that buy that are country bumpkins. So
and the other part is, how do you explain all
these people who are come out of the woodwork offering
to help Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift get married because
they really need the help, right, they really need to
help everybody on their grandmother apparently lining up here waiting
for It's like they're waiting for concert tickets to get
(06:05):
a piece of the so called private ceremony.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Why is that. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I'm gonna channel my Premier Networks colleague, the Great George
Nori over there, Coast to coast. He's right now talking
about goblins. And on this one it's chemtrails. They're taking
a ride. They want to take a ride on chemtrails.
The people that are trying to grab on this, they're
trying to crowbar their way into the headlines. Apparently it's
(06:31):
working because everyone wants a sip of the champagne.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Bottle of relevance.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
So you've got Flavor flav Martha Stewart and these other
people who are ready for a drink. And of course
we know this part of it is not about romance
or anything like that. This is not about love. It's
about the golden goose of publicity. And these people they
smell the headlines kind of like a dog would smell bacon.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
They smell the headlines and they like the smell.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
And as for Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift, here these
two are, of course, there are also attention hounds and
they are at the peak of their superpowers, like you're
only that famous for so long, especially Taylor Swift. But
this isn't going to be some low key friends and
family pot luck. Make sure somebody brings the mac and cheese.
(07:20):
This is a going to be a made for TV spectacular,
a super Bowl of celebrity matrimony. It's going to take
place forget the private like, this thing will have sponsorship deals,
halftime entertainment, and even if it's not a case where
they do it at a football stadium, it's still going
(07:40):
to have sponsors. They're gonna sell the photos, they're gonna
have certain outfits are gonna be paid for and that
kind of thing, you know, the red carpet longer than
the Nile.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
River and all that, and so it's not so much
going to be a wedding.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
It's going to be like a NASCAR race with advertising everywhere,
or a WrestleMania in a tuxedo, and they'll do prime time.
You know, they'll pay per view unless they don't, but
they'll have the paparazzo and all that, and it'll be sensationalized,
monetized and of course somewhat televised.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
All right Moving away from that, I'll get Justin.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I will get back to it Justin and Cincinnati and
Robbie the Mariner fan, but right not right now now. Secondly,
we go to Houston, where Houston we got a problem. Texans,
a team that has made the playoffs here of late
because they're in a terrible division and everyone else sucks
more than them. Well, Texans coach Tomiko Ryans. Tomiko Ryans
(08:38):
is hyping up the growth of quarterback CJ.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Stroud.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
He says, the progress has been great. Are you buying
the hype? Are you buying the hype?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So on this one, I'm giving this bug guy, I'm
giving this buguy.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
It's just more coach speak. It's straight out of the
Carnival Barker handbook. You gotta pump up your players, pump
them up, pump it up, pupp it up, pump it
up good, you know, step right up, step right up.
The progress has been so good. Where he's talking about practice,
not a game, not a game, talking about practice.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And last night checked and maybe I'm wrong on this.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I don't think they sell tickets to practice. Nobody outside
of football hard ohs with the binoculars and a lot
of free time are watching these exhibition.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Games, so it's just more hot air.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
And the Houston Texans, even though they're a playoff team,
they come from the land of Tapioca puddy football. The
whole AFC South is the forgotten wing of a museum.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
It's dusty. Nobody goes there.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
The Colts, we talked about them last hour. They are
selling Daniel Jones two point zero as an upgrade. The
Titans have the worst roster in football. That's not my opinion,
that's a fact.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
They ended up with their number one overall pick. They
were so.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Then you have Jacksonville who got there forever quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
When they got him, they're like, oh man, this is great.
This is like the coolest lego set when you were
a kid, you know. And then here we are a
couple years later and Trevor Lawrence is like a half
built lego set which looked cool.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
On the box.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
When you got Trevor Lawrence, the lego set looked pretty cool,
but the pieces apparently don't fit together, and your dog
ate a couple of.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
The pieces, so you screwed. So yeah, CJ.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Stroud might be the most interesting man in the division. Congratulations,
But it's kind of like saying you're the boldest brushstroke
in a Bob Ross Paint by Numbers kit. Congratulations, you're
really nice brushing of the paint in a paint by
Numbers kit from Bob Ross.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Good job. Who cares?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Now there's no debating that C. J. Stroud went down, down, down, down,
down down down. Last year he regressed. This guy was
a top five quarterback as a rookie. He was the
shiny new toy as a rookie. Everyone and all these
offensive rookie awards and all these records and the Texans
everyone said the same, but oh they're back, the Texans
are back. And then year two comes the sophomore slump
(11:12):
and he went way down in just about every statistical
category and suddenly the shiny new toy. The batteries are dying.
You know, you're smacking the side of it. It's like,
if you're old enough, they said these things called Walkman,
and you get all excited.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You put the batteries.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
In there, and there were like two or three A
eight triple A batteries and then you try to get
the thing to work again. When the batteries though, you're
hitting it, you know, but we're at a crossroads. We're
heading into year number three. Year number three, now.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Year three. Either you get the bump. If you're CJ.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Stroud and everyone forgets about year two, you're like, all right,
we got the little bump.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
We're good. He's back on track. You'll leap forward. Or
in the multiverse.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
There is a dimension where you continue to regress and
you end up heading towards the quarterback graveyard, where people say, well,
you just wear a one hit wonder and now you're
a jag, not a Jacksonville jag.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You're just a guy. You're just a guy. That's it
all right.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Now, final thought to hockey, don't tell Eddie to hockey.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
We go the rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Sorry, now you understand because you listen to the show
on a semi regular basis that we have a philosophy
that every day I put the show.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
To bed when the show's done, and then I.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Go and I futs around, I do my thing, and
then I go to bed, and at some point I
get up and then I start anew and every day
I start fresh, and whatever catches my attention, that is
where I go, and I follow the shiny object, and
there's a hockey story that's pretty good. It's nice and juicy,
and a good juicy story. So this is the rare
(13:02):
and appropriate story Connor McDavid. Connor McDavid has still not
signed on the dotted line or the DOCU sign there
at Edmonton, and he's playing the whole All options are
on the table card. So what do you make of
this one? Now, this radio show is heard loud and
(13:23):
proud all over the greater Edmonton area and that part
of Alberta. So we have people, not many, but we
have people listening there right there, boots on the ground
in Edmonton. So the oilers are like the guy whose girlfriend.
This guy's you know, really into the girlfriend and he says,
you know, I love you, right, your girlfriend says I
(13:45):
love you, but I'm just going to keep my tender
account active just in case.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
You know what that means, guys, Yes, exactly. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
So if McDavid actually hits free agency, let's assume the
position that Connor McDavid will hit free agency. It is
not just going to be a bidding war. This is
going to be the Manhattan Project of free agency. Every
franchise in the league. We're trying to build their own
nuclear weapon and McDavid is the uranium in that equation, right,
(14:18):
And for what it's worth, Connor McDavid says, oh, you know,
he says all the way, I'm focused on winning in Edmonton.
He clearly doesn't say all the right things, but that's
what he said. That's a boilerploint quote, boilerplate quote. We
know that actions speak louder than the words, just in
life in general. If somebody tells you they're going to
give you ten thousand dollars, that's nice. If somebody actually
(14:39):
gives you ten thousand dollars, that's better. So you can
intend all you want and say I'm focused on winning
in an Oilers uniform if you're Connor McDavid and say that. However,
it doesn't always go that way. The Oilers last few
years have been Bride'smaids in the Stanley Cup Final and
(14:59):
they cannot get passed that team from the Sunshine State.
And it's not good enough that the goaltending has been
mostly substandard. And McDavid would be the biggest free agent,
the biggest free for all Connor McDavid and I don't
think I'm wrong on this in the history of that sport,
certainly in my lifetime, and I can't imagine before I
(15:22):
was around that there was anything bigger than this. This
would be Canada's version of Lebron's decision. If you're old
enough to remember Lebron's decision, expect, instead of sitting at
some boys and girls club in Connecticut, like Lebron did
with Jim Gray, that McDavid would just quietly go into
a YMCA in Saskatoon and the entire hockey world would
(15:45):
catch on fire right there. And the only reason I
said a YMCA and Saskatoon is because it's fun to
say the word Saskatoon. And that's why I said the
word Saskatoon, because it's a fun word to say. So
that I don't even know if they have a YMCA
and Saskatoon. I just wanted to say the word Saskatoon,
and I made it into the show. It is the
Ben Mallard Show. We're here all night on the Red
(16:07):

pretty good hustle. He's going to rent out the land

That's right. Everyone, buckle up our guy, Dennis.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Hey, So if he wouldn't mind indulging me for a
minute or two, I wanted to share something. I talked
to Hoop about it, but I didn't want to bring
a show down. I actually want to inspire it a
little bit. But anyway, so but like the last three years,
(24:02):
me and my kids kid's mother, we split up and
I had to leave the house. Unfortunately I wasn't on
the mortgage anyway, long story short, along up homeless. Today,
I move into an apartment, I get my own key,
I am in sign. And what I wanted to share
(24:25):
was those three years I spent most of those nights
listening to you and of course you know two Pros,
two Pros and Cup of Joe. So like, if it
wasn't for that normalcy of because I'm a huge sports guy.
(24:48):
I love sports. If it wasn't for that, I don't
know if I would have gotten through it. In other words,
you lay out there in here, and I'm trying not
to make this heavy, but it sounds heavy, but it's not.
It's actually I'm saying it is.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
It is very kind of you to say that. I
do appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (25:05):

now got your own place right keys, and you're you're set,
you're set up, and you're you're on the now and
the cool thing is And I got to tell you this, Dennis.
I mean, you've been doing this a long time, and
a lot of guys in your situation. Once you get
back on your feet, you forget about the overnight radio
guy and you listen to those daytime guys and you're
still being Look at you, Dennis.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
You're being loyal here.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You're getting loyal to the show, Dennis, because you know,
now that you're back on your feet, you can listen
to those high falutin daytime guys that make all the money.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
But you're you're still being loyal. And I'm glad that
you made it through that dark period of time.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
And now you can tell stories later on, you know,
to your kids, and say I made it through this.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
You can make it through anything and all that stuff.
Speaker 9 (25:45):
So exactly, and I want you know that. You know, you, guys,
you may not realize that how much you do for
just to bring some normalcy to life. You may not

(26:07):

Speaker 8 (26:11):
I guess this is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
All right, Well, listen, and you're welcome. I don't take
compliments very well. I'm sure Jonas and the boys are
happy as well to hear that, and they'll find out
about this later. But listen, thank you so much. I'm
glad you're backing now, you're a regular call, two nights
in a row.
Speaker 9 (26:27):

by day, right as they say, just make it through it.
And all right, well, thank you Dennis for your story.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
There's Dennis in Vermont, and let's that's cool.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Let's say hello to we go all the way across
the country on the Red Eye fly. Let's go to Eric,
who's in the bear.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
We're gonna go from that very serious tale of rags
to riches or riches to rags, back the riches from Dennis,
and now we sailor to Eric in the Bay Area. Hello, Eric, Welcome, Howdy. Yeah,
that's a tough act to follow. That's not an easy
act there, Eric.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
Okay, So I have a funny story. It's a football story.
And Dennis on the East Coast, I'm sure he's feeling
pretty good and waiting to get on with you. I'm
starting to feel pretty good too. I want to tell
you a story. My dad was a physician for a
(27:36):
team of football team and at the beginning of training camp,
you have to do a physical as you do at
the end of the season, and a particular player who
has a gold coat, came in. His head was shaved,
his shoulders were shaved, his arms were shaved, his chair
(28:00):
and everything else that you could imagine. And and so
I'm sitting there having a scotch with my dad and
a cigar, and he's telling me the story. And and
he told me, hey, why did you shave up? Shave
up your your pubic hair, your leg hair, all your hair.
(28:23):
And the player I will not mention, said well, because
he had a friend who was a swimmer, okay, and
the swimmer said, if you shave up all your hair,
you'll go faster, to which my father responded, but you're
wearing a helmet and shoulder pads.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Well, Eric, they never said football players are the smartest
guys around.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
You know, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
So I wanted to share that story because you were funny.
I was. I've been listening to you tonight. I've never
called before, but I want to share that, so I.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Don't that's a that's a great story. That's that's hilarious.
That's uh, your your dad, I mean, that's one of
the great stories. I say, that's a hilarious response. I
remember hearing that when I when I was young. It's like,
well the swimmers, because I know in high school, they'd
always like, shave all the hair and I'm like, what
are you doing dude? You know, and then they'd said
that but a football player doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
So that's funny. Hey, thank you for that story. I
appreciate it the great.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Eric in the Bay Area, there look at that back
to back, belly to belly. Let's say hello now to uh,
let's see Eenie Meenie, miney Moe, let's go to. Mike

the story everyone in sports radio is talking about newby

Speaker 11 (30:42):
I didn't didn't realize I had an accent.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Well, yeah, if you're surrounded by people that also speak
the same way that you have, you have an accent.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
That's like, that's how it works.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
And it's like you probably think I have an accent
because I don't sound like that.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
I did kill a bunny rabbit. Well, the bunny rabbit
committed suicide Thumper. I killed Thumper years ago. I was
driving on a dark road and I saw a rabbit
running towards my car. And the rabbit did not run
around my car, ran in the path of my car
as I was driving, and Thumper went one last thump.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
And that was the end of it. But I'm not
I've not killed the dog. What else is it? That raccoon?

Yeah, raccoon dog.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
I did almost run into a raccoon. There were two raccoons.
I was coming home. You see these raccoons at night
when you're driving at night, and I was coming home
from the show and there were two raccoons crossing the
street and I'm driving and I flashed my lights at
them and they slowly turned their heads and looked at
me with disgust, like what do you want us to do?
(36:26):
Like they were giving me attitude. What about you, Lorena?
Speaker 7 (36:30):
Yeah, none of those items.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
I almost hit a.
Speaker 7 (36:32):
Bear once, but no a bear.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
What kind of bear?
Speaker 7 (36:35):
Like a black bear in the woods up in northl
Like how big?
Speaker 1 (36:38):
How many pounds are we talking about? How big was it?
Speaker 7 (36:40):
How fast he was in front of my hummer? So
he was he was pretty big. I could see his
big button. You had a hummer my brother did, Yeah,
And I was driving it at like two in the
morning and my I had like the fog lights on
because there was so much smoke in the area from
the fires that were going on. He was a very
scared bear. I felt very bad.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
That's sad it was.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
And I slammed on my brakes and everyone went flying
in the car and they're like love wait, and I'm like,
love it. I'm sorry to hit the bear.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
I learned driving Actually in I think it was Vermont
and Maine. They had a lot of moose signs, and
they My wife was paranoid because we were driving at night,
it was raining, and she thought we were going to
hit a moose because she saw moose signs and she
looked on the internet that if you're going to hit
a moose, you want to hit the moose's ass because
apparently that's the way you survive. Anyway, go ahead, cool.
Speaker 10 (37:30):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (37:30):
Yes, I have hit a raccoon before. It was. I
was very sad about it. It was it was the
same situation I was. I was coming onto the freeway.
I was on the on ramp, so I was, I
was accelerating to freeway speeds and it just ran out
from the bushes right right in front of my car.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yeah, it had a death wish. Now did you did you?
Did you act like her old caller from Arkansas and
go out and pick it up and eat it for dinner?
Speaker 6 (37:55):
No, I was. I was on my way. I was
on my way into the studio. Did not have time
to stop for.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Their scratch off. Will say, that's good eating, But you
know what's next? What's next? Here? It's asked Ben, your
questions are answers.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
Ferd Dog wants to know what is your favorite ride?
At Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
I'm a traditionalist. Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
It's I always start with Pirates of the Caribbean. The line,
even if there's a line that moves pretty quick, it's changed.
Speaker 9 (38:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
The men used to chase the women. Now the women
chase the men. So they're a little woke in there.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
But I still love it. It flashed back to when
I was like eight years old at Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
So that's it. What about you, Lorna?
Speaker 7 (38:36):
My favorite normal ride would have to be like Winnie
the Pooh for like down to Earth, But my faster
fun ride I prefer Big Thunder Mountain.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
I also like that new Star Wars, but it's not
my favorite, but that new one's really cool cool.
Speaker 6 (38:50):
Big Thunder Mountain's my favorite ride. Well, I haven't been
there in like ten plus years, so there's a lot
of new riots that I've never been.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
I know, I know a guy Coopan. You know a
guy mister K that could help you out, you know,
mister Ken. Yeah, mister K who I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (39:08):

I'll ask you about that Donkey Sausage wants you to
know damn it can't think of any good asked Ben
questions this morning.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Okay, thank you Donkey, appreciate me trying. That's very hard
to ask a question.
Speaker 6 (39:30):
Alf the Alien Opiner wants to know for the crew,
do you forgive and forget or do you hold a grudge?
And then he said that he's been holding a grudge
if he asked a question about his spouse or something.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Oh, it's really a case by case basis.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
There's I had.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
A grudge for about twenty years with a sports writer
who did me dirty when I started in radio and
I was nineteen years old, and I never forgave him.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
He hated me. I hated him. He's dead now, so
I don't really care.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
But other than that, I usually, you know, I'll let
things do for a while and eventually I'll move on.
Speaker 7 (40:03):
What about you, Lorena, Twenty years is a long time.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
It is?
Speaker 10 (40:08):
It is?
Speaker 7 (40:10):
Yeah, for the most part, No, I don't think so.
But then I just think about my friend the other day.
He just got a CDL license and we decided not
to be friends a couple months ago, and I'm like, no,
we're still not friends. I'm not going to congratulate you,
you know, so I guess it could last a while.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Yeah, sometimes you know things, you're busy with life and
you forget about things.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
What about you a Coop?
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Nah?
Speaker 6 (40:29):
Not really, I don't really hold grudges, all right?
Speaker 1 (40:32):
What is next to ask?
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Ben?
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Your questions our answers to the rest of the hour.
Let's get one more in it.
Speaker 6 (40:38):
Freddie wants to know how old were you when you
got your driver's license and how many tries did it take.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
I was fifteen and a half. My mom tried to
teach me to drive.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
I sucked, so she hired a driving teacher and I passed,
I think the second time.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
What about you Lorena sixteen and one? I was fifteen
and a half. Man, what about you, Coop?
Speaker 6 (40:55):
I was seventeen and it took me the second try
that I got was how.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
About these kids today? Man, these kids today, wait till
they are like twenty five to drive.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
They don't need to drive anywhere.
Boom, Shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb ber three, our number three, and we
go down Tabloid Avenue.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Where are you at on.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
The tabloid report that Travis Kelcey of the Chiefs and
his new fiance Taylor Swift are going to have a
private wedding. We'll discuss that also, how do you explain
all these people offering to help two of the richest
people around get married? And Texans coach Dimico Ryans is
hyping the growth of quarterback CJ. Stroud, saying the progress
(00:35):
has been great. You buying the hype on that. And
we'll also believe it or not, talk some hockey as
Connor McDavid still is not signed on the dotted line
in Edmonton and he's playing the whole All options are
on the table card. What do you make of this one?
We'll go there as well, and we'll also have asked
(00:57):
Ben buckle up, Bukaroo, it's our number three. It's Casey
in the Sunshine Band. Well gome In the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
On the Red Eye fright flight, poppin fresh as we
provide that disco dazzle unless we don't coast to coast, border,
the border, and beyond on the vast and overwhelmingly powerful
microphones of FSR amminating live from deep in the Cave,
the Bat Cave, same bat time, same bat channel from
(01:39):
the world famous Fox Sports radio studios. Were legends like
Rich Horrera and Bob Golick have walked the hallways. That's
right and also approved by Jason in Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
We met Jason at the Big Mallard meet and greet
last November.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
At the Home of the Chicken in Liberty, Missouri. There
the one and only world fit Ben Maler Chicken figure
is only available regularly. They were in Vegas, but for
only one day only. They're at the landing in Liberty, Missouri.
So our lead this hour is from the wacky world
(02:18):
of the tabloid. Now this portion, by the way of
the Ben Malers Show, made possible in part by our
friends at Express Employment Professionals. Is it time for a
new job, then it's time for Express Employment Professionals with
the endless online job search and list the pros and
Express never charges job seekers. If we go to Expresspros
dot com, we will have ask ban that'll be coming
(02:39):
up a little bit later this hour.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Ask Ban your questions.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Our answers coming up in about half an hour or so.
You can send those questions in hashtag ask Ben on X.
But our lead this hour is from Cannes City. We
follow up the chatter heard around the gossip world the
Naked City Never sleeps And by request, I was not
(03:04):
going to talk about this, but Justin in Cincinnati, who
just loves love Justin and Cincinnati, said Ben.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Did you see the latest on this?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I said, Justin, I did not see it, and he said, Ben,
you got to talk about this again. Robbie, and I
really want you to talk about I said, you know what, Justin,
if you want me to talk about it, I'll talk
about it because you're a brigadier general in the Mallam
Militia and that carries a lot of weight.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
So here we are.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
So if you believe the whispers, I know Justin's excited
about this. The whispers are it sounds like this upcoming
nuptial situation between the chiefs tight End Travis Kelcey and
the pop diva Taylor Swift will not be the wedding
of the century.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Why not the notorious page six of the New York Post.
They're never wrong. They're never wrong in the New York Post.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
So the New York Post tells us that Travis Kelcey
and Taylor Swift plan plan to have a quote private
ceremony with family and close friends when they eventually tie
the knot. Now it will be more casual than people think.
The Post says, this comes as Flavor Flave offered to
officiate the wedding and Martha Stewart offered to plan the event.
(04:15):
You even had the governor of Colorado pretty much beg
to officiate the wedding, trying to get them to come
to the Rocky Mountains. I'm sure that's going to happen.
So let us discuss the question where are you at
on the tabloid report from page six that Travis Kelsey
and Taylor Swrift are going to have a private wedding
(04:35):
and not the wedding of the century. So I've got
George Nori, Bob Ross, and Manhattan Project, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are gonna
make the Gabba gool. We're gonna make the Gabba goool.
Al Right, So first of all, this one does not
pass the schnaz test. Okay, it doesn't. I mean, I'm
(04:57):
holding my nose. It does not pass the Schnas test.
This is America's supposedly favorite prom king and pop princess,
and whether I wanted to see it or not, it
was everywhere. The only one they didn't see it was
our old colleague Chris Broussard. But everyone else saw it.
We saw those engagement photos conveniently dropped on social media,
(05:18):
professionally lit, choreographed, branded within.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
An inch of their lives right there.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
And we're supposed to believe, you and I are supposed
to believe that Travis kelce and Taylor Swift are going
to do a backyard barbecue.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Wedding with Uncle Joe cooking some burghers and some hot dogs. Palaise.
The math ain't mathing on that. You know it, I
know it.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
The only ones that buy that are country bumpkins. So
and the other part is, how do you explain all
these people who are come out of the woodwork offering
to help Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift get married because
they really need the help, right, they really need to
help everybody on their grandmother apparently lining up here waiting
for It's like they're waiting for concert tickets to get
(06:05):
a piece of the so called private ceremony.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Why is that. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I'm gonna channel my Premier Networks colleague, the Great George
Nori over there, Coast to coast. He's right now talking
about goblins. And on this one it's chemtrails. They're taking
a ride. They want to take a ride on chemtrails.
The people that are trying to grab on this, they're
trying to crowbar their way into the headlines. Apparently it's
(06:31):
working because everyone wants a sip of the champagne.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Bottle of relevance.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
So you've got Flavor flav Martha Stewart and these other
people who are ready for a drink. And of course
we know this part of it is not about romance
or anything like that. This is not about love. It's
about the golden goose of publicity. And these people they
smell the headlines kind of like a dog would smell bacon.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
They smell the headlines and they like the smell.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
And as for Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift, here these
two are, of course, there are also attention hounds and
they are at the peak of their superpowers, like you're
only that famous for so long, especially Taylor Swift. But
this isn't going to be some low key friends and
family pot luck. Make sure somebody brings the mac and cheese.
(07:20):
This is a going to be a made for TV spectacular,
a super Bowl of celebrity matrimony. It's going to take
place forget the private like, this thing will have sponsorship deals,
halftime entertainment, and even if it's not a case where
they do it at a football stadium, it's still going
(07:40):
to have sponsors. They're gonna sell the photos, they're gonna
have certain outfits are gonna be paid for and that
kind of thing, you know, the red carpet longer than
the Nile.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
River and all that, and so it's not so much
going to be a wedding.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
It's going to be like a NASCAR race with advertising everywhere,
or a WrestleMania in a tuxedo, and they'll do prime time.
You know, they'll pay per view unless they don't, but
they'll have the paparazzo and all that, and it'll be sensationalized,
monetized and of course somewhat televised.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
All right Moving away from that, I'll get Justin.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I will get back to it Justin and Cincinnati and
Robbie the Mariner fan, but right not right now now. Secondly,
we go to Houston, where Houston we got a problem. Texans,
a team that has made the playoffs here of late
because they're in a terrible division and everyone else sucks
more than them. Well, Texans coach Tomiko Ryans. Tomiko Ryans
(08:38):
is hyping up the growth of quarterback CJ.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Stroud.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
He says, the progress has been great. Are you buying
the hype? Are you buying the hype?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So on this one, I'm giving this bug guy, I'm
giving this buguy.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
It's just more coach speak. It's straight out of the
Carnival Barker handbook. You gotta pump up your players, pump
them up, pump it up, pupp it up, pump it
up good, you know, step right up, step right up.
The progress has been so good. Where he's talking about practice,
not a game, not a game, talking about practice.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And last night checked and maybe I'm wrong on this.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I don't think they sell tickets to practice. Nobody outside
of football hard ohs with the binoculars and a lot
of free time are watching these exhibition.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Games, so it's just more hot air.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
And the Houston Texans, even though they're a playoff team,
they come from the land of Tapioca puddy football. The
whole AFC South is the forgotten wing of a museum.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
It's dusty. Nobody goes there.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
The Colts, we talked about them last hour. They are
selling Daniel Jones two point zero as an upgrade. The
Titans have the worst roster in football. That's not my opinion,
that's a fact.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
They ended up with their number one overall pick. They
were so.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Then you have Jacksonville who got there forever quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
When they got him, they're like, oh man, this is great.
This is like the coolest lego set when you were
a kid, you know. And then here we are a
couple years later and Trevor Lawrence is like a half
built lego set which looked cool.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
On the box.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
When you got Trevor Lawrence, the lego set looked pretty cool,
but the pieces apparently don't fit together, and your dog
ate a couple of.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
The pieces, so you screwed. So yeah, CJ.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Stroud might be the most interesting man in the division. Congratulations,
But it's kind of like saying you're the boldest brushstroke
in a Bob Ross Paint by Numbers kit. Congratulations, you're
really nice brushing of the paint in a paint by
Numbers kit from Bob Ross.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Good job. Who cares?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Now there's no debating that C. J. Stroud went down, down, down, down,
down down down. Last year he regressed. This guy was
a top five quarterback as a rookie. He was the
shiny new toy as a rookie. Everyone and all these
offensive rookie awards and all these records and the Texans
everyone said the same, but oh they're back, the Texans
are back. And then year two comes the sophomore slump
(11:12):
and he went way down in just about every statistical
category and suddenly the shiny new toy. The batteries are dying.
You know, you're smacking the side of it. It's like,
if you're old enough, they said these things called Walkman,
and you get all excited.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You put the batteries.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
In there, and there were like two or three A
eight triple A batteries and then you try to get
the thing to work again. When the batteries though, you're
hitting it, you know, but we're at a crossroads. We're
heading into year number three. Year number three, now.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Year three. Either you get the bump. If you're CJ.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Stroud and everyone forgets about year two, you're like, all right,
we got the little bump.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
We're good. He's back on track. You'll leap forward. Or
in the multiverse.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
There is a dimension where you continue to regress and
you end up heading towards the quarterback graveyard, where people say, well,
you just wear a one hit wonder and now you're
a jag, not a Jacksonville jag.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You're just a guy. You're just a guy. That's it
all right.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Now, final thought to hockey, don't tell Eddie to hockey.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
We go the rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Sorry, now you understand because you listen to the show
on a semi regular basis that we have a philosophy
that every day I put the show.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
To bed when the show's done, and then I.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Go and I futs around, I do my thing, and
then I go to bed, and at some point I
get up and then I start anew and every day
I start fresh, and whatever catches my attention, that is
where I go, and I follow the shiny object, and
there's a hockey story that's pretty good. It's nice and juicy,
and a good juicy story. So this is the rare
(13:02):
and appropriate story Connor McDavid. Connor McDavid has still not
signed on the dotted line or the DOCU sign there
at Edmonton, and he's playing the whole All options are
on the table card. So what do you make of
this one? Now, this radio show is heard loud and
(13:23):
proud all over the greater Edmonton area and that part
of Alberta. So we have people, not many, but we
have people listening there right there, boots on the ground
in Edmonton. So the oilers are like the guy whose girlfriend.
This guy's you know, really into the girlfriend and he says,
you know, I love you, right, your girlfriend says I
(13:45):
love you, but I'm just going to keep my tender
account active just in case.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
You know what that means, guys, Yes, exactly. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
So if McDavid actually hits free agency, let's assume the
position that Connor McDavid will hit free agency. It is
not just going to be a bidding war. This is
going to be the Manhattan Project of free agency. Every
franchise in the league. We're trying to build their own
nuclear weapon and McDavid is the uranium in that equation, right,
(14:18):
And for what it's worth, Connor McDavid says, oh, you know,
he says all the way, I'm focused on winning in Edmonton.
He clearly doesn't say all the right things, but that's
what he said. That's a boilerploint quote, boilerplate quote. We
know that actions speak louder than the words, just in
life in general. If somebody tells you they're going to
give you ten thousand dollars, that's nice. If somebody actually
(14:39):
gives you ten thousand dollars, that's better. So you can
intend all you want and say I'm focused on winning
in an Oilers uniform if you're Connor McDavid and say that. However,
it doesn't always go that way. The Oilers last few
years have been Bride'smaids in the Stanley Cup Final and
(14:59):
they cannot get passed that team from the Sunshine State.
And it's not good enough that the goaltending has been
mostly substandard. And McDavid would be the biggest free agent,
the biggest free for all Connor McDavid and I don't
think I'm wrong on this in the history of that sport,
certainly in my lifetime, and I can't imagine before I
(15:22):
was around that there was anything bigger than this. This
would be Canada's version of Lebron's decision. If you're old
enough to remember Lebron's decision, expect, instead of sitting at
some boys and girls club in Connecticut, like Lebron did
with Jim Gray, that McDavid would just quietly go into
a YMCA in Saskatoon and the entire hockey world would
(15:45):
catch on fire right there. And the only reason I
said a YMCA and Saskatoon is because it's fun to
say the word Saskatoon. And that's why I said the
word Saskatoon, because it's a fun word to say. So
that I don't even know if they have a YMCA
and Saskatoon. I just wanted to say the word Saskatoon,
and I made it into the show. It is the
Ben Mallard Show. We're here all night on the Red

How you doing?

Manah, look at you? You're back again, Dennis.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Yeah, I'm a new member of the Malar Militia.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
That's right. Everyone, buckle up our guy, Dennis.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Hey, So if he wouldn't mind indulging me for a
minute or two, I wanted to share something. I talked
to Hoop about it, but I didn't want to bring
a show down. I actually want to inspire it a
little bit. But anyway, so but like the last three years,
(24:02):
me and my kids kid's mother, we split up and
I had to leave the house. Unfortunately I wasn't on
the mortgage anyway, long story short, along up homeless. Today,
I move into an apartment, I get my own key,
I am in sign. And what I wanted to share
(24:25):
was those three years I spent most of those nights
listening to you and of course you know two Pros,
two Pros and Cup of Joe. So like, if it
wasn't for that normalcy of because I'm a huge sports guy.
(24:48):
I love sports. If it wasn't for that, I don't
know if I would have gotten through it. In other words,
you lay out there in here, and I'm trying not
to make this heavy, but it sounds heavy, but it's not.
It's actually I'm saying it is.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
It is very kind of you to say that. I
do appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I mean you, and it's it's it's great that you've
now got your own place right keys, and you're you're set,
you're set up, and you're you're on the now and
the cool thing is And I got to tell you this, Dennis.
I mean, you've been doing this a long time, and
a lot of guys in your situation. Once you get
back on your feet, you forget about the overnight radio
guy and you listen to those daytime guys and you're
still being Look at you, Dennis.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
You're being loyal here.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You're getting loyal to the show, Dennis, because you know,
now that you're back on your feet, you can listen
to those high falutin daytime guys that make all the money.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
But you're you're still being loyal. And I'm glad that
you made it through that dark period of time.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
And now you can tell stories later on, you know,
to your kids, and say I made it through this.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
You can make it through anything and all that stuff.
Speaker 9 (25:45):
So exactly, and I want you know that. You know, you, guys,
you may not realize that how much you do for
just to bring some normalcy to life. You may not
realize how much you're true. I know you know you
joke a loud about how you're just spinning wheels and
(26:07):
the middle. Yes, yeah, I'm saying, thank you.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
I guess this is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
All right, Well, listen, and you're welcome. I don't take
compliments very well. I'm sure Jonas and the boys are
happy as well to hear that, and they'll find out
about this later. But listen, thank you so much. I'm
glad you're backing now, you're a regular call, two nights
in a row.
Speaker 9 (26:27):
Well we hear from you, a man, all right, somebody
else into it.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Too, so absolutely, that's right.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You just gotta you know, you gotta take it day
by day, right as they say, just make it through it.
And all right, well, thank you Dennis for your story.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
There's Dennis in Vermont, and let's that's cool.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Let's say hello to we go all the way across
the country on the Red Eye fly. Let's go to Eric,
who's in the bear.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
We're gonna go from that very serious tale of rags
to riches or riches to rags, back the riches from Dennis,
and now we sailor to Eric in the Bay Area. Hello, Eric, Welcome, Howdy. Yeah,
that's a tough act to follow. That's not an easy
act there, Eric.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
Okay, So I have a funny story. It's a football story.
And Dennis on the East Coast, I'm sure he's feeling
pretty good and waiting to get on with you. I'm
starting to feel pretty good too. I want to tell
you a story. My dad was a physician for a
(27:36):
team of football team and at the beginning of training camp,
you have to do a physical as you do at
the end of the season, and a particular player who
has a gold coat, came in. His head was shaved,
his shoulders were shaved, his arms were shaved, his chair
(28:00):
and everything else that you could imagine. And and so
I'm sitting there having a scotch with my dad and
a cigar, and he's telling me the story. And and
he told me, hey, why did you shave up? Shave
up your your pubic hair, your leg hair, all your hair.
(28:23):
And the player I will not mention, said well, because
he had a friend who was a swimmer, okay, and
the swimmer said, if you shave up all your hair,
you'll go faster, to which my father responded, but you're
wearing a helmet and shoulder pads.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Well, Eric, they never said football players are the smartest
guys around.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
You know, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
So I wanted to share that story because you were funny.
I was. I've been listening to you tonight. I've never
called before, but I want to share that, so I.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Don't that's a that's a great story. That's that's hilarious.
That's uh, your your dad, I mean, that's one of
the great stories. I say, that's a hilarious response. I
remember hearing that when I when I was young. It's like,
well the swimmers, because I know in high school, they'd
always like, shave all the hair and I'm like, what
are you doing dude? You know, and then they'd said
that but a football player doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
So that's funny. Hey, thank you for that story. I
appreciate it the great.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Eric in the Bay Area, there look at that back
to back, belly to belly. Let's say hello now to uh,
let's see Eenie Meenie, miney Moe, let's go to. Mike
is in New Hampshire and he wants to react to
the story everyone in sports radio is talking about newby
Night from last night. Hello Mike in New Hampshire.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Well, god father, it's going on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, probably I recognized I recognize your voice.

I was coming home. You see these raccoons at night
when you're driving at night, and I was coming home
from the show and there were two raccoons crossing the
street and I'm driving and I flashed my lights at
them and they slowly turned their heads and looked at
me with disgust, like what do you want us to do?
(36:26):
Like they were giving me attitude. What about you, Lorena?
Speaker 7 (36:30):
Yeah, none of those items.
Speaker 6 (36:31):

Like a black bear in the woods up in northl
Like how big?
Speaker 1 (36:38):
How many pounds are we talking about? How big was it?

How fast he was in front of my hummer? So
he was he was pretty big. I could see his
big button. You had a hummer my brother did, Yeah,
And I was driving it at like two in the
morning and my I had like the fog lights on
because there was so much smoke in the area from
the fires that were going on. He was a very
scared bear. I felt very bad.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
That's sad it was.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
And I slammed on my brakes and everyone went flying
in the car and they're like love wait, and I'm like,
love it. I'm sorry to hit the bear.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
I learned driving Actually in I think it was Vermont
and Maine. They had a lot of moose signs, and
they My wife was paranoid because we were driving at night,
it was raining, and she thought we were going to
hit a moose because she saw moose signs and she
looked on the internet that if you're going to hit
a moose, you want to hit the moose's ass because
apparently that's the way you survive. Anyway, go ahead, cool.
Speaker 10 (37:30):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (37:30):
Yes, I have hit a raccoon before. It was. I
was very sad about it. It was it was the
same situation I was. I was coming onto the freeway.
I was on the on ramp, so I was, I
was accelerating to freeway speeds and it just ran out
from the bushes right right in front of my car.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yeah, it had a death wish. Now did you did you?
Did you act like her old caller from Arkansas and
go out and pick it up and eat it for dinner?
Speaker 6 (37:55):
No, I was. I was on my way. I was
on my way into the studio. Did not have time
to stop for.

Speaker 9 (38:24):

Speaker 1 (38:25):
The men used to chase the women. Now the women

do you forgive and forget or do you hold a grudge?
And then he said that he's been holding a grudge
if he asked a question about his spouse or something.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Oh, it's really a case by case basis.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
There's I had.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
A grudge for about twenty years with a sports writer
who did me dirty when I started in radio and
I was nineteen years old, and I never forgave him.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
He hated me. I hated him. He's dead now, so
I don't really care.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
But other than that, I usually, you know, I'll let
things do for a while and eventually I'll move on.
Speaker 7 (40:03):
What about you, Lorena, Twenty years is a long time.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
It is?
Speaker 10 (40:08):

But then I just think about my friend the other day.
He just got a CDL license and we decided not
to be friends a couple months ago, and I'm like, no,
we're still not friends. I'm not going to congratulate you,
you know, so I guess it could last a while.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Yeah, sometimes you know things, you're busy with life and
you forget about things.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
What about you a Coop?
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Nah?
Speaker 6 (40:29):

teach me to drive.

I sucked, so she hired a driving teacher and I passed,
I think the second time.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
