Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number three. Our number three
is ready for me. We're talking the rare and appropriate
college football monologue. The story of stories. The prodigy of
prodigies has been the bust of bus. Do you believe
Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning is not is not bothered

(00:22):
by all the criticism. We'll talk about that. Also, you
make the call, does women's basketball legend Caitlin Clark join
the startup league and take the bags of Saudi money
that's being offered her way and leave the WNBA behind
or make it just a part time gig. Also, should

(00:44):
the in the NFL? Should the Mike Rabel Patriots make
a splash move the trade deadlines just a few weeks away,
get some wide receiver help for Drake May. We'll talk
about all that and more right now as we crawl
through this hour of the Ben Mama Here it is
not living up to the building. Welcome in the beginning

(01:08):
of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We are
in the air everywhere as key collaborators. Let me tell
you something. We say that like Sean the hood guy, gangster,
coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
mast and elegantly powerful microphones of fs are emating live

(01:36):
from the Human as we are a I free providing
you the human element from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio Studios, the only place you can hear the show.
And let me tell you something, this show is so
popular that Shane and the Moynes stays up all night
listening to the show. And this portion of the Ben

(01:57):
Maler Show on Fox made possible in part by our
friends at Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq has

hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation

(02:19):
tire iraq dot Com the Way Tire Buying Show be
And we're back at it as we slave away the
hot microphones of Fox Sports Radio, and we begin this
hour with the rare inappropriate. Do not get used to this.
The rare and appropriate College football lead this hour. What

(02:40):
are you doing? What we want to hear about the NFL?
Just bear with me, Bear with me all right now, listen.
You know my mantra I get up every day, I
have no idea what I we talk about and whatever.
It's like, I'm off to a flame whatever I'm attracted
to that day. I lean in San Francisco knows this.
I'll just talk about I don't care. Oh yap about it.
So I lead this hour some all Texas the rare

(03:01):
and appropriate malord monologue about college football. So prior to
a mild upset the Texas Longhorns beating Oklahoma, which used
to be a really big deal. Man that was a
really big deal. Not so much anymore, but that happened
over the weekend, and so they're four and two now Texas.
On the year, there was an article that got some

(03:22):
traction behind a paywallt the Old Gray Lady, the Athletic
there that labeled arch Manning as college football's first flop.
Oh that's mean, Oh you're so mean. Now highlighted just
how terrible he has been. His productivity has been horrific
for the Texas Longhorns, and so people, of course got

(03:44):
upset about that. And then somebody had the hutzpa to
ask arch Manning about being called a flop. And here's
what he said. Take a listen.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
I feel like I try to do my best of
blocking out the noise, and then you get one hundred
text messages keep blocking out.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
The noise, like there must be a lot of noise.
So yeah, I try my best. You know, they someone
will call me one of the bicket slap in college football,
and how do you deal with that?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, I didn't know that. I guess tell you now.
Yeah no, I mean, look, I wasn't playing well and
I am.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
I'm going to continue to get better.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
But you know, everyone has their own opinion and it's
good about America, so you get to freedom speech, so
it doesn't bother me.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
All right, You're gotta tell something. I have been to
the Hollywood improv on Melrose and I've seen some very
famous comedians that didn't get those kind of laughs. I mean,
it's unbelievable. God, what a bunch of fan boys in
the media. Holy crap. All right, So the last part
of that is the money quote where he's wrapping himself

(04:57):
in the flag and what's good about America? Freedom of
speech and that last line it doesn't bother me. So
that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the
question do you believe that Texas quarterback Arch Manning isn't
bothered by the criticism. So I've got on this one.
I've got show band, cotton Candy, and Booster Rocket, and

(05:21):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna make the Baba Ganoosh. We're gonna make the
Baba ganoosh. Now, to lead off here, this laughter was
it's always the uncomfortable nerdy sports media laughter, which has
always been a thing. But just the actual essence of

(05:43):
the quote, this is more of a thing if you
read the written word and not listen to it. If
you just read the written word, it doesn't pass the
smell test. Like now, Arch Manning has a smile. He
was laughing. The media thought he was funnier than any
comedian you've ever seen your life. What a soft town Austin,
Texas is, Mike God, But let's stop pretending here, okay,
let's stop pretending that you don't get to hide from

(06:06):
the heat. You don't get to hide from the heat
when you're on the marquee and he's on the marquee.
He was born into this, he said, it's not fair.
I would argue that you know you were born on
third base with that name and all that and his
name was Smith instead of Manning. He wouldn't be playing
college football at a school like Texas. But I digress.

(06:27):
So if it smells like sewage, and it looks like sewage,
it probably is raw sewage. I'm just saying, all right, So,
and you can't tell me that Arch Manning is not
feeling it. It's been a nice guy on it. But
this is not some random jamoke. It's not. And you

(06:49):
don't go waltz around with the Manning name plate, with
that last name on your uniform. You've got a five
million dollar nil valuation, five million dollar valuation. You've got
major corporations, big brands in the United States that are
using you as a brand ambassador. And you don't pretend

(07:12):
that you're living in some kind of zen monastery and
you're just you don't. You have those noise canceling headphones
and you're not hearing any of it. Just I don't
believe it. Palais right. You can block out some of it,
but you can't block the noise out when there is
a show band, the show band of the Southwest outside

(07:35):
your window playing all night and all day. It's not
just a couple dudes on message boards back when those
were popular, or somebody on social media. Yeah, it's social media.
It's radio shows. It's the talking heads on TV that
are screaming and shouting and going crazy. So that's not
just noise. I mean, you think about how bad arch

(07:57):
Manning is considering the hype, and I'm guilty charge I
fell into it. I did several monologues about arch Manning.
The numbers on this are rather shocking. He is arch
Manning a top fifteen quarterback in college football?

Speaker 2 (08:10):
No?

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Is he a top twenty quarterback in college football. He's
got to be in a top twenty, right, No he's not.
How about top twenty five. Gotta be top twenty. No,
not top twenty five. All right, now, I know he's
in the top thirty. No he's not. How about top
four No, not top forty, not top forty. Arch Manning

(08:32):
is the forty third ranked quarterback in college football. Behind
the quarterback at North Texas. The Mean Green have gotten
a more prolific quarterback than the boys over in Austin, Texas.
The Aztecs of San Diego State with their woke logo
Yukon and Temple also also getting better quarterback play than

(08:55):
the Texas Longhorn. So that's not just a kind of
a blip on the radar. That's a five alarm fire
in Austin. It is, and so there don't need to
sugarcoat it. And a lot of people fall in this
trap and it bothers me. They're stuck in a different
time and it's always the age old. Well, you shouldn't
be critical. It's a student athlete. They still bring that

(09:16):
term up student athlete, which I chuckle at, I laugh at.
I think that's kind of funny. It's kind of cute
that you still bring that up. Like Arch Manning is
playing college football in nineteen seventy five. He's the starting
quarterback in Austin, Texas, and he's got a cafeteria meal
and he's got to look hard and go to the
cafeteria in the school bookstore and get some merch and

(09:38):
they give him a handshake. No Arch Manning again. Five
million dollars he's raking in at least it's probably more
than that, at minimums five million in endorsement deals. He
is a brand ambassador for Raising Canes warby Parker, Red Bull,
panini Ea Sports. They're all cutting Giant cartoon checks to

(09:59):
arch Man, and what are they getting return in investment,
Return on investment ROI not much. So when you make
that kind of money, five million dollars, you're at the
big boy table at that particular moment. You've moved up
to the big boy table here, and nil makes you
a pro in every single way. And you and I

(10:21):
both know this. Every man, woman and child knows it.
You make that kind of money and you're a pro
in every way, except you're not getting paid by the league.
They're not paying you directly. You're just getting paid by
all these sponsors and all that stuff. So if you're
cashing those kind of giant checks, now you're doing that,
you're in the criticism economy. You're part of the criticism economy.

(10:43):
And that's my business. That's my economy. I'm in the
criticism economy. And so you're not immune. It's not like
he's just dropped out of a plane and parachuted into Austin, Texas.
He's twenty one years old. This is not some wide
eyed freshman being thrown into the fire trial by fire.
No it's not. You're not just arch manning the quarterback. No, no, no,

(11:07):
you're representing your Archie Mannings grants your arch Manning's grandson,
right the legend of the New Orleans Saints back in
the day, Archie Manning. You're the nephew of Peyton Manning
and Eli Manning, those two annoying Mannings, and you're the
heir to the Manning throne. It's like a political dynasty.

(11:28):
This is a sports dynasty, and you're next in line.
You don't want to be the first Manning quarterback to suck,
and right now he's the first man In quarterback that blows.
That's the way it is. So yeah, you're in the
pressure cooker and you can't just be okay, okay, doesn't
work when you're representing all these monstrosity of a family

(11:53):
and all of the stupor Super Bowl rings and all
the commercials and all the crap that they're doing. And
if anything, he is more than fair game to criticize.
He just is than your average quarterback. That's just the
way it is. The Manning name is a luxury brand name.
Arch Manning is a generic brand player the name. It's

(12:16):
like if you buy something and you're like, I want
a luxury brand. I'm a big brand person. I'm not,
but you might be and you buy something and it
falls apart because it's not made properly and it's just
like the generic brand. Well that's what arch Manning is.
And again criticism economy, and he's part of it, making
five million dollars. I don't feel bad at all. Play better,

(12:37):
do better. Even against Oklahoma he didn't play very well.
I think he averaged like six yards of past and
nothing special. They won the game. More what Oklahoma didn't
do all right. Furthermore to the Caitlyn Clark News of
the day. That's right, Caitlyn Clark. I know supermarket. Steve's
excited about that. It's a wild story. This is a
wild story going around and I'm gonna give it a

(13:00):
couple of minutes here. So I was thinking about it,
and you know, this is next level. So we learned
that Caitlyn Clark may soon find herself at the very
center of a global bidding war. Not just a bidding
war in the United States. We're talking about a global
bidding war that, depending on what she does, will reshape

(13:21):
that sport that she's really the only popular thing in.
But we'll reshape the sport altogether. So as I if
you didn't hear about it, as I understand it, to
the Star Wars, Darth Vader music, the Saudi Public Investment Fund, Yeah,
the Saudi Public Investment Fund, the same people behind Live Golf. Yeah,

(13:47):
those guys, they're essentially, from what I understand again, this
is why I read it, they're essentially saying, hey, Caitlyn,
you know, we don't really like women in our country,
but we like you. We would like you to come
play in shiny new league that we're starting up. Here's
a blank check. Yeah, that's essentially what's going on. So

(14:07):
it's called I Love this. It's called Project B. What
a great name. I'm guessing that's not their final draft.
Project B. This is the brainchild of someone who was
a executive at Google and Facebook. That means they are rich,
somebody named Grady Burnett. Never never heard of that guy.

(14:28):
And now they've got backing by a group of massive investors,
big names ex jocks, including Pro Football Hall of Famer
forty nine er legend from BYU, Steve Young, part of
the advisory board, and a bunch of the them. So
it's again, as I understand it, it's like Live Live

(14:48):
two point zero. It's Live golf two point zero, except
it's women's hoops. It's gonna be a global thing. They're
gonna play in three different parts of the world. And
it's not a rival league of the WNBA. It's just
the new sheriff in town. It's the new sheriff in town.
So question you make the call, does Caitlin Clark join

(15:13):
the start up league and take the bags of Saudi
money and everything that comes with that, the stigma that
comes with that, Right, there's a there's a major stigma
that people give you when you take that money. Is
she gonna do it? So my response is, if you

(15:34):
swim in the Pacific Ocean, is it filled with salt water? Yes?
Or any ocean for that matter. Kaitlin Clark makes this year.
I think her contract she signed is like for eighty
five thousand dollars a year, eighty five grand a year,
Kaitlin Clark is making the Saudis can pay her fifty
million dollars and that's not even their pocket change, Like

(15:57):
that's the stuff that fell out of their pockets, the
stuff in their pockets. Fifty million dollars a year. You
think that Caitlin Clark is gonna say no, I can't
take that money. I don't need the fifty million. I
don't want the fifty million. It's blood money, it's oil money.
I don't want it. Come on, come on now, right,
everyone's got a price. Everyone's got a price. Fifty million

(16:20):
dollars to play women's basketball five months a year, ten
million dollars a month. You gotta be kidding me. It's
not even a tough decision to make, right, because he's like, well,
I'll figure it out. And the argument is, well, if
you take the money, you're gonna get hit with It's
what about the human rights issues? They treat people very poorly.

(16:44):
That's the legend of Saudi Arabia and that sports washing.
This is why they're spending this money. And you're a
sucker and you're falling for it and all that stuff. Well,
Kaitlyn Clark will just get a job working the cotton
candy machine and she will be spinning, spinning the sugar, saying, well,
you know, it's about trying to grow the game of
women's basketball, and it's about an opportunity, you know, and

(17:06):
and all that craps just just spin, it just spins,
just like the live people. Remember they sent out the
Live talking points for the people who took the money
and sold out as the Saudi's Phil Mickelson and all
these guys, and so here's what you're supposed to say
when you're questioning about being a sellout. And they just
had all the responses, and Kitlin Clark would do the
same thing. It's life changing, game changing amount of money.
You got to be out of your mind to turn

(17:28):
down that amount of cash. And so Live Golf. They
poached a bunch of big names and there were some
that turned them down. Not many. Tiger Woods would be
the most famous. It's the same playbook though, it's the
same exact playbook here, except Kaitlyn Clark is to women's
basketball what Tiger Woods was the golf back in his day.

(17:50):
She's number one, is what she is. That's the power,
the power of money. We know it. And so Kaitlyn Clark,
you know, she's not just getting an offer that's say
as some kind of She's getting an exit ramp that
is paved in solid gold, solid gold. All right, now,
last thing, we hip, we hip Scott, and we move on.

(18:15):
We move over to the NFL to New England where
the Patriots, the new England Patriots, who are currently a
top the AFCs. The Patriots are leading the division ahead
of Buffalo because of the tie breaker. And now there
is some chatter, there is chatter in the air that
they are big game hunting the trade deadline. We're in
mid October, now, the trade deadline in early November. Question,

(18:38):
should the Mike Vrabel New England Patriots make a splash
move for wide receiver? Help? All right? So ninety nine
percent of the time if you ask me, should a
team make a trade to get help? What is my answer?

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Right?

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yep? Alf the alien O Pineter is shaking and said, yes,
you always say yes. I do almost always say yes.
Ninety nine percent of the time. I say yes on
this one. Yep, I'm nodding my head. Yes, the answer
is yes. Enough with the kid gloves. You have been
given the gift of gifts. You have been given the
softest of schedules that we've seen in a generation in
the NFL. And so listen, Drake May is playing. Well,

(19:22):
you've got him on the launching pad right now, and
go out and get Drake May another booster rocket. Get
the guy another booster rocket. So he goes even higher
up there is a window here with all of these
soft suck bag teams. The Patriots are playing that they'll
actually lose to one or two of them because they're

(19:42):
not gonna win every game you're supposed to win. Even
so they're looking at ten or eleven wins, maybe even
twelve wins, like there's a legitimate path, you know, twelve
and five. You go twelve and five. You're talking about
a number one or number two seed in the AFC,
and the NFL moves and he said, well, he's supposed

(20:03):
to be good next year. We're not really quite there yet. No, No,
that's not how it works. That's not how any of
this works. And so go out, quarterbacks, either you pop
in year two or you start to drift the other
direction in the uh oh category. You don't want to
be in theory. Drake May is playing well right now,

(20:23):
but it's only been a few games. You can go
the other direction. And so you got Mike Rabel's trying
to build this thing up, and you're never gonna have
a schedule this easy again. As long as Vrabels in
New England and Drake May is trying to become the man,
you can't be the man unless you've got help being
the man. And that would be the supporting cast for
the New England Patriots. And so you look at the

(20:45):
wide receivers. They've got Pop Douglas good name, average player,
Kashawn Booty another good name, last name Booty. And Stefan Diggs,
who's good. He's a tenderbox. Everyone's gonna hate him. They
you know how that ends. Everyone hates Stefon Diggs. By
the time Diggs is done, you hate him. He's the
bad employee you hate. That's that's been every Minnesota, with

(21:07):
Buffalo Houston everywhere. So even if those guys are playing well,
it's not the cavalry. Those are not the reinforcements for
the Patriots. So, as a distant relative of Nostradamus and
friend of Nostrodinas, he's a Mariner fan wh lives in
Seattle and looking into the crystal Ball, All mighty crystal Ball.

(21:28):
Two names, all right, two names. One of them is
Jacoby Myers, an expat, and Chris Olave the other one.
All right, So you've got draft space or draft capital.
You have cap space. I'm a cap truther. You've got
the available draft picks, so you've got that draft capital.
You have a second year quarterback who's showing signs he

(21:49):
actually knows what he's doing. Do not waste the rookie contract.
The Crafts are notoriously cheap owners. They love the low
ball people, and so take advantage of it rookie contract.
Eventually you're gonna have to pay Drake May fifty million
dollars a year. He's not making fifty million dollars a
year right now. So if you're ever going to be aggressive,

(22:11):
this would be the time to be aggressive. Fatten up
like a turkey before Thanksgiving. Go out and do it.
While you've got this quarterback on the rookie contract and
you're playing all these tomato can teams, and you stack
the deck. You give him some more weapons. And Chris
Olave is a Ohio State guy. Mike Rabel got that
Buckeye DNA, has a soft spot in his heart, his

(22:34):
chiseled heart for Buckeyes. And Jacoby Myers, who's not flashy, solid,
dependable nose, Josh McDaniels, the whole thing. So it is
the Ben at Malo Show. If you'd like to be
part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven

Now back to it all, right, back to where we go,
and here's the Mallord Riddle of the day. And here

(25:54):
it is. So this is the story. It's been bouncing
around last last two days, and I thought it was
pretty funny if i'd be perfect for the real because
not everyone's seen it. So there's a starting pitcher named
you Say Kakuchi, who told Japanese media that he wanted
the angels to fix blank all season, but they never did.
That is the question. What is the answer? Does anyone

(26:17):
know it's just his name? I didn't. Let's see here
said some Chris and Kent Washington said something about the
locker room bidets. Late night drug tester says he wanted
the rally monkey fix to prevent any burst all right,
see here. Lady Sideburn says, to fix the old no
legged barstool. Okay, and see Rulo got it right. Bad

(26:39):
job by him. Ferkduck says the broken ice cream machine
in the Angel clubhouse. That is the answer. Craig says,
the answer is to fix his mental state. He pitched
better on the road than at home or some Angel
personnel problems. The TV yes by Donkey sausage. The clogged
shower drain for me, that is a that's a pain

(27:01):
in the ass, that clogged shower drain. Real real bummer,
real real bummer. What else do we have? Sak Saki
wine dispenser from Doug in South Korea? Who else do
we have? Page down Shan O'Malley was guessed by Dirty Harry.

(27:21):
There's people just throwing out random names here. Lorena, do
you have an answer? Lorena? The Wi Fi was guessed
by courtesy flusher. I was gonna go with the zumba
bend zoomba? Is it zoomba?

Speaker 2 (27:32):
No?

Speaker 1 (27:32):
It is not Well. It turns out that the pitcher
starting pitcher, you say. Kikuchi told Japanese media he wanted
the angels to fix the air conditioning in the weight room,
which was broken all season. I guess they don't. They
don't have a handyman there at the Big A. They

(27:53):
don't have a handyman. And so apparently this guy would
warm up in the weight room there was no air conditioning,
and he would always get drenched in sweat, and he cleaned.
That's that's why he didn't pitch. Well. Apparently the Big A, Yeah,
this is lack of an air conditioner there apparently was
the problem. All right, here we go, here we go,
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, here
we go, here we go. Not late. It's early on time,

(28:20):
on time, malard by the clock, four the clock, all
about the clock. So we have door number one and
door number two, Loraina, I will let you pick the
person who will play too much or not enough door
number one or door number number two. O, my god,

Speaker 5 (28:37):
Huh, chesting number one and said number one.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
You said number two, number two. Are you there, number
door number two? Are you there, door number two? Oh no,
this is your fault, Lorraina. I want the record to
show the way you gave me a warning. Ben, this
is yours, I said, I keep it real just for you.

(29:03):
That's ironic. When you call up many people think your
call is a number two, So it's fascinating. All right, Well,
let's play the game right now. Here we go hollering James.
The most famous here's a fun fact. The most famous
game show MOMMYE in the history of this show was
hollering James. Do you remember, James, No, you don't remember

(29:24):
because you were sleeping and you won the game.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
I was.

Speaker 5 (29:31):
In my own mind.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Question number one. Are you ready?

Speaker 3 (29:40):
I am really and steady, but not to Betty.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yoshinobu Yamamoto became just the fourth Dodger player ever to
pitch a complete game in the playoffs. Is that too
much or not enough? Too much? All right, too much?
Let's find out that's correct. James. Yeah, he's only the
second to do so. Joining I am ready, Jose Lima,

(30:12):
Jose Lima, you know who that.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Was I can't dream of lima time.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, he's been gone for a while. Question number two.
Quarterbacks in the AFC West have thrown fifteen interceptions so
far this season. Is that too much or not enough?
What do you all of a sudden the savant? Did
you take smile out fire? Oh no, remember, Laura, you

(30:46):
picked door number two. There was a very nice gentleman
named Nick that wanted to play, but you picked door
number two. Yeah, the answer is not enough. AFC West
quarterbacks have thrown twenty interceptions this season. Ten of those
belonged to you, you know, Smith of our Raiders. James,

(31:07):
I'm wearing headphones. You're gonna give me a headache, all right,
Question numbers in the morning. Question number three. Earlier this week,
Freddie Freeman hit the thirteenth go ahead home run in
his postseason career. Is that too much or not enough?
Too much? That's a way, James. It was Freddie Freeman's

(31:33):
tenth postseason go ahead home run. That tis Jose Alboo
for the motion in postseason history. Well, James, you got.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
I'm gonna Golden.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Coop just gave Lorano high five. He's so excited. You
got a golden take. Now you got two more questions
to get another golden ticket? Are you ready? James?

Speaker 4 (31:54):
I be myself, Well, I want to do swell.

Speaker 5 (31:58):
Cammy's listening.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
There were eight players with one hundred and more receiving
yards in Week six of the NFL. Is that too
much or not enough?

Speaker 5 (32:09):
Cut it up, you.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Stupid, No, you can't say that, James. All right, hold
you on. Hold James got to say gold The answer
was too much. He said not enough. You didn't hear
that because he cursed. You'll hear it on the podcast.
There were six players with one hundred plus receiving yards.
He got so lucky. He was just alternating his answers
and he happened to find He found the rhythm, he
found the pattern. He solved the Rubi's cube right there,

(32:38):
hollowing James. I'll bet you James couldn't name any He
couldn't tell you what teams these people played on, but
he got the questions right. Anyway, James, you get a
golden ticket. Congratulations, and we move on the Queen of

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Dear Rye.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
You heard the man. It's time for love here on
the Ben Mallers Show. And you know, sometimes we like
to start with a little snippet of love knowledge around here.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Yeah, do you have something? Yes, you do have something.
Rain has something here.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
Do not fall in love with figments of your imagination. Okay,
the person on TV, the woman on the radio, she
is not your soulmate. She's probably you probably wouldn't even
get along on a regular basis.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
And you know what the line though, it's the magic
of radio TV.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
But also when actually building a relationship with someone that
you want to be with, you have to take time
to get to know them right.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Well, No, some guys don't, you know.

Speaker 5 (35:06):
And then they end up divorced and unhappy and with
a child and you know, broken home. So don't do that.
Take time to get to know your person in person.
That's what I want to say. Yeah, unless you live
a million miles away, and that's.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
What you like. Okay, qualifier on it. I got you.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
These are actual questions by actual listeners. Fir Dog writes
in says, do women like it when men order for
them at a restaurant. I always do. I saw a
question there from I I hate ordering food, by the way.
I I'd rather just cook it home and not have
to order.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (35:44):
Well, I mean, if you know exactly what your woman
likes to eat and she doesn't like to speak, that's
one thing. But just it almost sounds controlling to me personally.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Oh, look at you.

Speaker 5 (35:53):
She's going to have the salad. No, she doesn't want
a vodkatonic. She'll take a wine, white wine. The red's
gonna die your lips, honey. No, we'll take the white
wine for her.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Is that right?

Speaker 5 (36:04):
Yeah, that's what it seems like to me.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Okay, could be thoughtful. Can you've been in that situation before?
I feel like there's a little personal reference there.

Speaker 5 (36:12):
No, no, no, But this is just an idea.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Just an idea. I one of your favorite callers here,
Mike the Leprechaun, writes, and he says, would you frown
upon a partner who can't do any handyman work around
the house, the air conditioning, clogged toilets, et cetera, or
even the bedroom? Yes?

Speaker 5 (36:31):
Actually I do frown upon those things. I love it
when a man can like fix things. It's so awesome.
I used to have a huge crush on my manager
at Red Robin because he would fix everything. And I'm like,
that is so attractive. Was he good looking or no? No,
not at all? Okay, all right, see there you go.

(36:52):
If you're ugly, just be good at fixing. You can
be good at other things. There's other things that you
can find attractive about a person.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
It's not just all right, very nice. Let's take a call,
and who else but Lucky Tony has called up from
the Bay Area. What's up? He's always getting lucky hell.

Speaker 5 (37:05):
I saw some lucky pigeons when I was in the
Bay Area. I was eating chowder on a deck and
there was two pigeons getting it on right on the edge.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
Wow, what about the kids? What about the children? I got?
Don't look, hello, Lucky Tony.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
Hillary Clinton, if you want to sing bear, I have
a tom in Jersey.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
That was okay, right, I don't know this first time
he's dropped Hillary Clinton's name here. All right.

Speaker 5 (37:35):
I did not have relations with that woman that was
his mistress.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
A listener who was asked to have his name rect redacted.
I guess we'll call him John Doe says that he
is a starter to date a woman he likes a lot,
but she's still texting her ex and he's a little
concerned by that. Lorena, do you have any advice to
the call him John Doe here. He's a little annoyed

(38:03):
by that, say proceed with caution, buyer beware.

Speaker 5 (38:07):
Yeah you are. You are allowed to have relationships with
your exes, but you need to know what level of
playing field there on. Sometimes they were friends before they dated,
so you can't take that away. Other times that friends
still has some intentions and your girl could still have something.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Well, you might be think the term is is it
the rebound?

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Is that what?

Speaker 5 (38:31):
Yeah, you don't want to be the rebound?

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Well, sometimes you do want to be the rebound, but
not if you're like into the person. You don't want
to be the rebound because then you're that's not a
good thing. Heart well hurt, That's that's not good at all.
Late night drug tester says, is it bad taste to
have a pool during the wedding reception or when the
couple has their first kid or when they will get divorced,
like an office pool? Like yeah, like the bet, like

(38:56):
when they will end up get a div Yeah, that's
actually pretty funny.

Speaker 5 (39:01):
I think it's funny, and especially if it's like a
toxic relationship and you know that they fight a lot,
like I would totally do that on certain people that
I know.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Yeah, you know I used to do. That's a great bit.
I did that, like on the radio show. We did
that bit the Magic Johnson had this late night TV
talk show when I was doing the Benedete Show, and
I correct, I won the pool. We had a pool
which day will the show be canceled with a terrible show?
And and you actually I won. I nailed it and
I and I never got paid my bounty. I'm still

(39:31):
upset by that. Andy and Lionel Lakes Minnesota Rights since
says Lorraina, My girlfriend has multiple personality disorder.

Speaker 5 (39:37):
Which one do you like the best?

Speaker 1 (39:39):
I guess in the one in the bedroom, things got
a little heated the other night in the bedroom she
got mad at me again. She's hollering my name. Well,
I'm just terrible at names. Should I get her name tags?

Speaker 5 (39:52):
Oh uh no, you know what, just tattoo her name somewhere.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
That's a yeah, the name thing. I think, as you said,
didn't say Lorena. The pet names are the way to go,
so you don't mess the name.

Speaker 5 (40:04):
Baby, You don't got to worry about nothing, Honeybear.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
You sweet much at all. Sounds like you've been down
sounds like you've been down that road. Hey, honeybun oh
