Speaker 1 (00:00):
Omaha, o maha, Omaha.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's our number three, the rare and appropriate college football
conversation in our number three. So can you unravel what
hotshot Texas quarterback Arch Manning really means when he says
preseason talk is cheap hype doesn't really mean anything.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Also, what do you make of Arch Manning attempting to
downplay the twenty twenty six NFL draft rumors that have
him going number one. He says he's just focused on
this year in Austin. Plus some NBA What is your
frame of mind on Shams or should we say Shams
Sharania getting called out for some sketchy reporting regarding the
(00:48):
NBA's gambling scandal regarding scary terry.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
We'll go there as well.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Right now here, it is our number three. Look at
that arch. Have you seen it? Have you seen the arch?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
You have not? Welcome?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
In the beginning of another hour of The Ben Mather Show.
We are in the air everywhere, marshalled together as we
are the insomniac Instigator, coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond on the fast and absurdly powerful microphones of
(01:28):
fsre emminating live from the hunger as we are standing
up and battling sports hunger.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
That's right, we are. You can't handle it. From the
Fox Sports Radio studios, that's where we hang out here, as.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Approved by Manuel in Guardina, who has stopped buying the
past and brought us wonderful sandwiches. And unlike Mike the
Leprechaun does not show up twelve hours early for a
scheduled meet and Green in studio.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I just want to point that out and let the
record show my God.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
All right, So our lead this hour is from the
Golden Arch, the Golden Arts. Now a little Southern fried football?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Are we allowed to do that? Why are you doing that?
It's rare and appropriate. It's rare and appropriate.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
So we go to Austin, Texas kind of the home
of a couple of gas bags. Podcast guy Joe Rogan
and Alex Jones hangs out there.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yes, that Arch Manning, the darling of the twenty twenty
five college football season, which is going to kick off
in not that long from today. Right around the corner
is the kickoff of the college football season, just a
little bit before the NFL gets going and so they've
been conducting in recent days. The SEC Media Days always
(02:59):
a must watch unless it's not.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So, I don't know if you saw any of this
or not.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
We've talked about a few things that have come out
of SEC Media Days now. The latest is arch Manning,
the Prodigy. The Prodigy arch Manning Now, he was specifically
asked about a couple of things in regarding the beginning
of the new college football season. One of the things
he was asked about was the preseason hype, the hyperbole,
(03:25):
if you will, there being on.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
The Heisman list.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
He said, of that, I am not sure how they
get these opinions. Arch Manning said, I've only played what
two games? He said, It's nice of them to say that,
but it doesn't mean anything. Talk is cheap. I gotta
prove it, all right, So let us discuss the question.
Can you unravel and listen between the words to Texas
(03:52):
quarterback arch Manning what he really means, What he really
means when he says that the talk is cheap, hype
doesn't mean anything. So I've got Mickey Mouse, all right,
Mickey Mouse, butcher Shop, window and Henhouse.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And we will combine all of these things together.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And we are going to put the biscuit in the basket,
is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
So listen. The first thought I.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Have is when you do talk radio at the overnight hours,
talk is cheap.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
In other worlds. It's not right.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
We give a discount double check every night here on
this show, but if you're playing quarterback in Austin, Texas,
you're not getting a discount double check. Like, are we
supposed to believe that the heir to the Manning monarchy,
the next in.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
The line of secession?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Who was I pretty sure was raised from birth in
a cradle carved out of sec wood panel. You know
the old stadiums, right, it's royalty, it's royalty. But he's
just a humble old boy focused on this year. That's
all he is. Come on, don't be a sucker. To
(05:14):
not be a sucker, right, that's not humility, it's not
it's marketing, is what. It is? Obvious, Like, you don't
need me to tell you that it's this is calculated.
It's the same thing we saw from his uncles. It's
straight out of the Eli and Peyton playbook. You pretend
(05:37):
you do cosplay as the country bumpkin. You're the country, bumpkin.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
That's what you are and you're you're doing it now.
We lived. We've been here so long.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
We lived the careers of Peyton and Eli Manning for
the teams they played for in their career. Well, Eli,
better known as the Punk, only played for one team,
but Peyton Manning, Bawt durant I played for a couple
of teams. So it is a safe bet. It is
a safe bet that arch Manning had a little bit
of a walk and talk, as they say in the
(06:10):
mob little walk and talk with his uncles, and they
educated him. They schooled him on how to handle the media.
Go to sports cliche dot com. So uncle Eli, now
he often looked when he was playing in the NFL,
Eli Manning, there, Uncle Eli, he looked like he could
not spell the word audible if you spotted.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Him the A, the U and the D.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
And maybe around week seven or week eight he kind
of figured that out. But that's the that's the play
for arch Manning. Okay, that's the play for arch Manning.
You channel Mickey Mouse's good friend Goofy when you're dealing
with the media. Do you just act Goofy? You play dumb,
you flash a few off shocks in there, and your
(06:59):
grand and everyone eats it up and they can't get
enough of it. Oh my god, he just psych his
uncles so good. Now, privately, we've learned over the years
that the Manning family, they're out there schmoozing with executives,
general managers, oldiggs, robber barons, titans of business, titans of industry.
(07:21):
They all hang out together. But as for the I
have to prove it. Card well, that plays well in Peoria.
That plays well in Peoria. It also plays well on
social media.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
There's people eat that up like that's great. That is
such a good line. I have to prove it. Now.
We all know that in the modern era that.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
We're all living in today, twenty twenty five, the year
of our Lord, you don't have to prove anything in sport.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
You don't. You don't.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
If you've got the it factor, that's all that matters.
What is my evidence on that? Three letters d N
A period stop DNA arch Manning who he says, I
haven't done it. Yeah, he's only played a couple of games.
(08:14):
His name has already appeared on billboards in Austin before
he'd thrown a meaningful college pass. If you were watching
the All Star Game, the ninety fifth All Star Game
on Fox last night, Tuesday Night All Star Game, you
heard Joe Davis read a promo for the start of
(08:36):
the college football season.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I believe Texas plays Ohio.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
State, made for TV matchup, and the only player that
got mentioned in that is arch Manning. Now, why is
that he's only played a couple of games. I don't understand.
That's the buzz. That's what matters. The buzz is what matters, right,
That's the thing. The hype is the product, the height.
(09:00):
You're in show business, the hype is the products.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
It's more so now than ever.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Everyone is buried and they're in a trance like state
on their phone. Everyone's on their phone. They're not really
paying attention. And it's not a distraction. See, I'm gonna
push back on the idea. It's a distraction. It's the engine.
It's the steam engine. Okay, it's the steam engine that
(09:28):
drives the chew chew train.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
That's it, right. We're talking about a very valuable.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Currency, and depending on what line of work you're in,
the most valuable currency is what arch Manning has. Fortunately
not because of anything he did other than get in
the right genetic line. You see, it's big boy football,
Southern fried football. It's not a Louisiana fish fry, okay,
(09:59):
and the arch Man has I would agree, he has
not shown that he is a big time college football player.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Steve Spurrier pointed.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
This out, and people were very critical of Steve Spurrier,
but it was a fair point. How good is arch
Manning if he was buried on the bench in Austin
last year by a guy who was a seventh round
pick for the Miami Dolphins. Seventh round pick was the
guy that was starting for Texas last year, not not
(10:31):
arch Manning right now, furthermore.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
In terms of the NFL, because that's really what we're
more interested in, right the NFL. Arch Manning, if you.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Have already started a look at the mock drafts, who's
tanking for arch Manning? That's right, that's right. So that
the NFL world is all in, They are all in.
So what do you make of arch Manning to downplay?
(11:02):
Calm down, everyone, calm down.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Nothing to see here.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Arch Manning trying to downplay the twenty twenty six mock
NFL drafts that have his name at the very top.
He says, he's just focused on this year. Well, isn't
that special? Isn't that special? The NFL is obsessed. They're
absolutely obsessed. And if you're a football player and you
(11:28):
went into the family business, which is football, right, and
the end game is the NFL, that's the end of
the road.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You're telling me. Of course he's thinking about the NFL.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
And you know that the elders in the Manning family,
the mob family of the.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Mannings, are like, which team do we want Arch to go?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Do?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
We don't want to play on the West Coast, so
we'll eliminate all those West Coast teams. So do we
want him in the Midwest? Do we want him to
go to thebably the East Coast would be good. But
when you look at some of the teams that are
gonna be in the market for a quarterback, and then
the dream is like the Dallas Cowboys, right that, I mean,
that is orgasmic.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
You could put Arch.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Manning in Dallas. My god, holy crap, would that be great.
But the point is the NFL is not watching the tape.
There's hardly any tape to watch, So it's all about
mbe marketing, buzz and eyeballs. That is what it's all about.
(12:32):
And Arch Manning is sitting on an oil reserve. The nephew,
not the sun. Not the sun. The nephew is sitting
on an actual oil reserve. Whether he wants to admit
it or not, he just is. Those marketing people in
pro football are licking their chops. They're licking their chops
like a fat cat sitting at a butcher shop window
(12:55):
looking at at all that delicious meat.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yum yum to my tumb tum, that's what they're thinking.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
So they've already got at least three commercials in the can,
The Manning Legacy Reloaded Manning three point zero, the Manning
Generation Part three, all of that. So again, Sparriscy aweshucks.
Stuff and ratings matter. It's a TV show. Ticket sales matter,
(13:26):
all that does. The hype matters, as we've already pointed out,
the hype matters there. You don't get to be the
next Manning by being moron, right, just an absolute nincome poop.
Now you're playing dumb because it does play well, and
we get that, but you're selling smart but playing dumb.
(13:50):
So some people like the whole hay Seed act and
they think that's like legit and all that stuff. You
might as well settle into it, because whether or not
you're good or not, you're going to be drafted in
the first couple of rounds of the NFL. Even if
as far as Manny comes out and rides the vomit
comet at Texas, someone will still draft him if he
(14:11):
enters the draft because of the name the DNA, And
that's the way it is. So he is a brand.
It's not his brand. He just inherited it from the
other Manning's all right, now, last thing, we pivot. We
go now to the FEDS. I like a good who
done it? But this is more of a media amusing story,
(14:31):
a media amusing story. So star NBA reporter, the man
that replaced the woje bombs, the great Adrian Wojanowski, who
is now a college professor and a man who I
would think of. You went to woj and said, what
was the highlight of your career in media? Would be
doing a TV show with me years ago at NBC.
(14:52):
I think that was Woj's highlight clearly unless it wasn't.
But anyway, shams or shams or whatever, Sharania, he's the
big muckety muck.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Now he's the big insider guru. He is the preferred newshound.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
He gets all the leaks, all the leakerty leaks for
the NBA. And he went on the the Pat McAfee
YouTube show last month and said that NBA guard Terry Rosier,
the former Celtic. Yeah, that guy who plays with Miami
de Terry Rozier has been cleared, has been cleared.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Clear to what exactly cleared? By whom? Was it the NBA?
Was it the was it the FEDS? Was it the FBI?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Was it the I don't know, the ghost of David
Stern spooky. No one seems to know, because Sean's statement
was about as clear and concise as driving through a
fog bank near the Golden Gate Bridge. There now as
(15:59):
of right now, Shams said, seemingly referring to scary scary Terry.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
His name being tied to gambling, and the.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Allegation that I read on the internet, if I understand
it correctly, is that he was fixing prop bets and
his name popped up. Remember that NBA player for the
barely an NBA player for the Toronto Raptors, and that
guy got dinged and got suspended for life. And so
they started going through all the phones and the gamblers,
and then they went to other phones. And so the
(16:34):
theory is that Sarry Rosier's name came up on one
of those phones, that there's some funny business and the
gambling houses they want you to gamble, but if you're
fixing stuff, they don't want you to gamble.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It's a problem.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
So when Shams tossed all this out in the way
he said, it made it seem like.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
We're all good, everything's kosher. It's not. So what is
your frame of mind? On NBA Insider.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Guru Sham's Sharania getting called out over the I'll use
the word sketchy, the sketchy reporting on the gambling scandal
involving Terry Rozier and his ties. So when Shams tossed
out the qualifier as of right now, as a Rhodes scholar,
(17:25):
when it comes to weasel words, when I saw and
I heard as of right now, what I heard in
my head was.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Alarm bells.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Alarm bells because Shams went full CIA.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
It's a term the CIA came up.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
With plausible deniability. Yes, much like a gambler hedging their bets.
That's not reporting, that's hedging your bets, is what it was.
It's the kind of language, the kind of language that
one would use when they're not really sure of a source.
They don't know that they have it right, but they
have to come up with something. So is it a
(18:08):
federal agent that is sham source or is it a
guy named Bubba on social media?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I have no idea, but Sham's going back to the
CIA thing. He gave himself plausible deniability. Now Pablo Torre,
who's trying to find a lane, and he's actually done
okay with this. He's got some podcasts no one listens to,
but he's he's found a lane, like he was harassing
Belichick's little little fluzy and now he's into this story
(18:36):
and all that stuff. So Pablo Torre has entered the chat,
and on his fledgling podcast he actually followed up.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Now all the investigative reporters all got fired when the
newspaper business went away, Like I mean, there's a few
newspapers left, but they're essentially just taking stuff off social media.
There's no investigative reporting in sports media anyway. Maybe like
one guy on the athletic that's about it, but pretty
much everyone else has gone. So Pablo Torres that got
(19:07):
to do this investigative reporting and all stuff. So he
followed up and presto. It turns out, based on his reporting,
that Terry Rosier has not has not been cleared. The
plot thickens. The federal investigation is still active, it's open.
No charges have been filed, for sure, no charges have
(19:30):
been filed, but there's no exoneration either. Now, the NBA
did their own probe. Now his love when these sports
leagues do their own investigating. So the NBA found no wrongdoing,
no wrongdoing, which is kind of like hiring a fox, an.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Not an actual fox, like an.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Animal, and hiring it to investigate the henhouse. And then
the fox investigates the hen house and then fills out
a report and says, well, there's nothing wrong here, and
all those feathers you were worried about on the ground
of the henhouse just for decoration, just for decoration.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Nothing to see here.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Now this is a federal manner, it's a federal matter
and all that.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
So if scary.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Terry's name, if his name is still in the file,
if it's still in the file, then the story's not over.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It's not done. And no matter how many.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Times shams or sham or whoever, as of right now now,
how many times they say, as of right now, wee's out.
Pop goes to weasel. This is a public service announcement.
And we do overnight talk radio. We know PSAs. The
NBA meeting machine.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Is built on. What it's built on.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
If you're an insider, it's trades, it's trade rumors, it's
social media posting, it's whispers from so, AND's so, who's
a source close to the situation, and league sources and
this that and the other source sources. Right, you're not
(21:11):
someone who knows the nuance of the federal legal system.
So Terry Rozier remains stuck in limbo, right, He's stuck
in the middle where his name is pingponging back and forth,
back and forth. It's like volleyball, back and forth between
cleared and under investigation. Still, it's like a bad game
(21:32):
of telephone. So that's where we are on that story.
It is the Ban Matther show. We can talk about that. Also,
the home run derby, which was not a home run
Derbyty All Star Game finished in a tie, so they
went to a swing off, and man, did you see
how a Tani and Aaron Judge did yet none of
them hit home runs. Of course they were on planes
(21:54):
leaving Atlanta. So you imagine somebody sent to Aaron Judge
text MEAs Hey, Aaron, the All Star Games tiede we
need you to bet. I I'm at the Atlanta Hartsfield Airport. Here,
I'm gone. I can't. I'm on a plane. I'm flying
to the Bahamas. You're screwed anyway. It is the Ben

by Mark and Santa Monica does not wipe from Jared. You,
Mike the Leprechaun says, does not need viagra. All right,
how would you know that?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
What else? Paige? Dan, that's Lorena. Do you have an answer, Lorraine?
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Oh my gosh, there's so many different options.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
I was, I was.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Somewhere between not brushing his tongue and not washing his feet.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Not washing his feet. Well, I know that is incorrect.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It turns out that many people, many people, growing number
of people are convinced that Brown's rookie quarterback, Shoulder Sanders
doesn't actually watch foot Yeah. So Shoulder appeared on some
podcast and he was asked to name his Mount Rushmore
of quarterback wide receiver duos. Now, he started out okay,
(28:13):
he named Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, except Gronkowski's a
tight end, not a wide receiver. He then named Aaron
Rodgers and DeVante Adams, which was an okay pick. Then
he named Derek Carr and Chris Olave the Mount Rushmore
wide receiver quarterback combos.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah, all right, that is that is terrible. That is
that is horrible. All right, let's go here, we go,
hit that button, right, there. That's the one. That's the
one's the game show.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Mallard game.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
We've endored too many of these hazy too much or
not enough already. Let's do it. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Let's say hello to Mike who's in New Hampshire and
called up to save the game show.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Hello Mike in New Hampshire. Right, what's going on? Now?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
You've got a good rivalry with this blind Scott guy.
There's a good, good rivalry. Oh, all right, exactly, Well,
I want to see you win, Mike. You're out there,
you're driving around the sticks of New Hampshire. Ride you're
surrounded by trees. Right now, I want to see you win. Okay,
(29:22):
let's do it.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Let's do it, all.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Right, question number on. So On Sunday, the Cincinnati Reds
became the thirteenth team in baseball with fifty or more wins?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Not enough?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Is he right? That is correct? Not enough?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
They are the sixteenth team with fifty plus wins. That
is the most ever before the All Star break. Now,
if you have a lot of teams with fifty wins,
what does that mean? You have a lot of crappy teams? Also,
does it not yeah, yeah, exactly smaller math. Question number
two for Mike driving this truck around New Hampshire.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Col Raley cal raley total.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Home run distance in the home Run derby was three
point five miles?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Is that too much or not enough? Too much? All right?
Speaker 2 (30:20):
He says too much? Let's find out. No, No, that's wrong,
not enough. Cal Rawley had a total home run distance
of four point three nine miles, according to the Nerds
Mike the Nerds.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Question number three.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Garrett Wilson of the Jets was one of twelve players
with one hundred receptions and one thousand yards in twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 7 (30:50):
I'm gonna say not enough.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I think it was one hundred.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
And one reception. All right.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Well, we're not looking we're looking for the total number
of players. We're not looking for the receptions. Is willing
for the number of players? So I had at least
that much, at least that much.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Too much? So you're on too much. Let's find out
there you go, all right, got it right?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
He was one of ten players to achieve that. So
you got two right, You're doing very well. Close call there, Mike,
you got one more to get right here and then
you'll win the game. How confident are you on a
scale of one to ten, with ten being Garante.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Fifteen?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Man, I love that. You know what that is, Lorena,
That's New England. Bravado is what that is. These guys
in New England, they got that bravado. Here was the
question number four.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
On Sunday, Kyle Stowers became the sixth Marlins player to
ever hit three home runs in a single game. Is
that too much or not enough.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
For the Marlins? Too much? Let's find out that is right?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Congratulations, that's why Mike was confident.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Good job by you.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Only the Marlins have been around since what the Martins
came around in the early nineties. I believe only the
fourth Marlins player to do it, Kyle Stowers, and he
was in the home run swing off after the All
Star Game was a tie on Tuesday night. Will Mike
you win?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And I.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Congratulations? Mike can be safe out there driving around their hands.
Speaker 4 (32:33):

at blind Scott on your way out of the call.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
Does he need lights in his house? He's blind?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Wow? All right, blind Scott? Do you need lights in
your house? Blind Scott?
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Not really, but I have My mom said I have

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Tell Mike to tell his mom to be quiet in
the truck.

Anyways, what we got today, Ben Well?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
I thought this was a really interesting question. This is
so this guy, Doug or Douglas, has been a long
time listening to the show.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
He lives in Mississippi. You hear me mention his name sometimes.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
So Douglas says, after my wife of twenty plus years
passed away, I married her best friend a year later,
but I had her permission before she passed.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
What's your take on that?
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Oh, I love this because I also have a best friend, right,
and she had best friend.
Speaker 7 (36:30):
I do send that out on somebody.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Lena has the best But is that the one that
came in here?
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And that's Victoria Sarah lives in Oregon. If I've known
her since kindergarten. But her she told me that way
if she dies before her husband, that I have to
marry her husband.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
I don't even have a choice. I have to marry that.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
He'll be because that's he'll be helpless without her.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
And she doesn't want the kids alone with him, right.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
He's the kids alone, doesn't want the kids alone with him.
Speaker 7 (36:57):
It will be the new maternal figure. So yeah, we
joke about it every time.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
And if he really did do that, you know, usually
you have a good connection with your wife's best friend.
Speaker 7 (37:06):
You have a lot of bonding moments, good memories. I
think it's actually really healthy. I think it's healthy.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
It's very nice of your wife, Douglas when she before
she checked out to give you the okay.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
On that Bobby and Florida right since says, how do you.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Get the the back door to open up? If you
if you keep knocking and it hasn't opened yet. From
Bobby there.
Speaker 7 (37:27):
Well, it all starts with a good conversation and a
little bit afore play, you know what.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
You know, you got to get them tempted into the idea,
so you got to introduce it in a fun way
and then they're like, oh, I don't like that.
Speaker 7 (37:41):
You'd be like, but you could like it. Let me
take you to the shop.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
They got dilators, they got all sorts of fun things
that you can use to make it more comfortable, a.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Lot of products.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
My my best thing when I was younger, I actually
asked a man who you know, liked that type of play,
what his opinion and what to do. So really, yeah,
pick their curiosity, see what they think.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
The yoda of that exactly.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Third Dog Rights In says, my brother's dating a girl
who's obsessed with Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (38:11):

is a that you might as well be a drug addict.
It's cheaper, Okay, it's cheaper to buy Fenton Al Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
You'd rather have your girlfriend on the streets of Disneyland
than on the streets of downtown.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
I don't know, man, there's some homeless people in Tunetown.

good first date Lorena for someone dating blind? Scott says,
your options are the wimbled than final Kentucky Derby or
a day at either Disneyland Universal Studios, or a trip
in Mike in New Hampshire's truck.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Huh interesting options there to be honest, I don't know.
