Can't f I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Lou Penrose sitting in for John Cobalt this week. It
is official.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's official.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are getting married. The two
announced their engagement on their Instagram pages with a series
of photos and captioned it your English teacher and your
gym teacher.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Game was married. Yeah. It was breaking news everywhere. Here's NBC.
Speaker 5 (00:25):
All right, guys, this justin some entertainment news that's rocking
the world. The pop superstar Taylor Swift is officially engaged.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Here's how would sound it on CNN.
Speaker 6 (00:33):
Some colossal breaking juries into CNN.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
It's a love story and baby, she just said yes.
Speaker 6 (00:41):
Pop ey iconn Taylor Swift and her football star boyfriend
Travis Kelce are engaged.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Here's how it sounded at the White House during a
cabinet meeting.
Speaker 7 (00:50):
Well, I wish I've a lot alone. Yeah, I think
it's I think you said a great player. I think
he's a great guy, and I think and she's a
durrific person. So I wish they have a lot of love.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
So breaking news on every platform in sports, broadcasting, news, politics,
pop culture, entertainment. Tonight, my goodness, doctor Wendy Walsh. You
hear her live every Sunday night here at seven on KFI.
You know, Doctor Wendy, It's so fascinating to me. So
often in pop culture it seems like we're almost resistant,
(01:25):
sometimes even belligerent to tradition, and then we all get
the vapors. When something like this happens and no one
can talk about anything else.
Speaker 8 (01:34):
Well, it must be a slow newsweek. But I do
have to say, this is America's royal couple, and the
fandom has been waiting for nearly two years for either
an explosion, a breakup, somebody to have an affair, or
somebody to get engage. So luckily, the outcome is one
that is making many people joyful. I'm excited for them
because I think they've done many things right in their relationship,
(01:55):
especially for celebrities.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
So they're both they're about thirty five years old. Is
that the new Is that? Is that the new sweet
spot for couples to decide? Okay, let's go forward into
the next chapter.
Speaker 8 (02:09):
No, they're a little late. So the average age of
first time marriage has been going up for the last
few decades. For men, it is now the age of
thirty one in America, and for women it's the age
of twenty eight. Now, we shouldn't dismiss the fertility window.
It's a real thing. I don't know if there are any
news reports of Taylor freezing her eggs at any point.
So you know, basically, the height of female fertility biologically
(02:32):
is still the age of twenty and then it hovers
around there through the twenties. Takes a fall at thirty
and falls off a cliff at thirty five. So my
advice is, get on this YouTube. We want to see
a baby next.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Does this have an impact?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
You know I was talking before the break, there's some
new numbers out of store story that was out that
nearly half by twenty thirty, nearly half of US women
between twenty five and forty four will be single. So
Taylor Swift has tremendous influence over American women between the
ages of twenty five and forty four. I mean already
the Rop Lauren dress that she is in in the
Instagram post is sold out, so that in and of
(03:10):
itself speaks to her level of influence.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Now she's getting married.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Does she singularly make marriage cool again for single women.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
That's a really good question, lou and it's something that
we should follow and think about because our culture and
our environment makes a huge difference in our behavior, right
it can pressure us one way or the other. I
want to remind everybody that this group of women that
are unmarried, some of them are doing it by choice,
(03:39):
and some of them are feeling like they've been left
out because unfortunately, patriarchy still swims around the heads of women.
And even though we are seeing an oversupply of successful
women in the mating marketplace, women are surging ahead in economics,
they are surging ahead in education, they still have this
Cinderella complex in their head that they're looking for a
(04:00):
man who has more money, more age, more wisdom, more education.
And those guys don't have a fertility window, and there's
high competition for them, and they are riding the wave
of free sex that's existing right now. So the question is,
will women say I'm gonna take a man any man.
(04:21):
I won't call it settling, I'll call it a best
friend and partner. Because Taylor's doing it because we know
she has slightly more money than him, right.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I think that's that's correct. I think that's correct.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
However, they you know, they optically fit. They just they
seem to go together. They seem very comfortable with each other.
You know, you mentioned she did it, right. I mean
they dated for a goodly amount of time, right.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I mean that they.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
Got tribal approval, meaning they introduce their families to each other.
The families get along because these two sets of families
may be co grandparents someday soon, and so that is
very import you know. I used to host a show
for Investigation Discovery called Happily Never After about brides and
grooms who murdered each other. It was usually the groom
(05:07):
doing the murdering, by the way, and almost every time
they eloped and their family didn't approve of the person.
And so it's really important that we vet our partners
with friends and family.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
And everybody else. I mean the entire stadium at Arrowhead
on every Sunday.
Speaker 8 (05:28):
We're less important than intimate friends and family.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You said that we were all waiting for this announcement
or a scandal or a breaker.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
That's I have mixed emotion about that. We ought to
be happy. Shouldn't we be happy? For them.
Speaker 8 (05:47):
Yes, we should be happy for them, but if there'd
been a scandal, that would have been exciting too. I mean,
we live vicariously through the lives of our celebrities and
we are watching them as boyeurs. In many ways. Most
people listening will not be invited to the wedding, so
we can only live through it through media reports and
Instagram and photographs.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Et Doctor Wendy Walsh, Sunday nights at seven, seven and
nine on KFI AM six forty. I always appreciate your
insight on stories like this. It's always great to talk
with you.
Speaker 8 (06:15):
Thanks Lute, nice chatting Bye.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
It is official, and I just I'm amazed with how
breaking the story was, and there was everybody was racing
to get the story live on the air. You could
be a White House correspondent, which isn't an easy get right.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Just being a reporter field reporter.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
For an affiliate is hard work. Being an anchor for
an affiliate in a small or medium sized city is
hard work. Being an anchor at the desk in Washington,
DC for an affiliate.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Then you get into the network level.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Then you get network correspondent, and the CBS network correspondent
for the White House. Who needs to know about White
House things? She got to break the story. Here's how
it sounded on CBS News. You's got some breaking news
for us today from the White House lawn. I do read.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
This is a very exciting moment for me in my
professional career because I get to announce that Taylor Swift
and Travis Kelsey are engaged.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
My goodness. So that's CBS. Here's how it sounded on Fox.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Sounds like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey are now engaged.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
To be married. How about that for news. What's interesting
is how ESPN covered it. Now, ESPN was the Pat
McCaffrey show.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
It was all guys, so it wasn't like a woman
White House correspondent. They are on the White House lawn
waiting to announce the latest statement from the president, or
you know, as the case in CNN, you have a
male and a female co anchoring. This is all guys,
so juxtaposed the way it was presented breaking news on CNN,
(07:59):
some colawn.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Soul breaking juries into CNN. It's a love story and.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Baby she just said yes, okay, they're singing on the
set at CNN.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Uh, here is a ESPN breaking.
Speaker 10 (08:13):
News Travis Kelsey and taylors would announced their engagement.
Speaker 11 (08:16):
What wow, wow, wow Trump.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, that's a difference.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
There you go yet again. Uh, happy women.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
It's a love story and baby she just said yes.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And then of course ESPN the fellas.
Speaker 11 (08:38):
Wow wow.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Wow that Trump's all these cuts.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah, they're in the middle talking about cuts going into
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Louke Penrose sitting in a.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
John Cobelt on the John Coblt Show on kf I
Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 12 (08:57):
You're listening to John Cobelt on dem from KFI AM.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Six forty Blue Penrose in for John Cobalt on the
John Cobalt Show. It is official. Remember where you were
when the announcement was made that Travis Kelcey and Taylor
Swift became engaged.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Really, Taylor Travis Keils's engagement, that's news.
Speaker 13 (09:20):
Really, come on now, that is not stimulating radio.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I'm with you. I just had a kid.
Speaker 13 (09:26):
My girlfriend is thirty six, I will be forty four
this year, and they gave her a hard time for
being an older lady at the hospital getting pregnant at
thirty six.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Well, they're thirty five.
Speaker 14 (09:39):
A perfect way to get a listener and change the
channel to start talking about celebrities and their marriages and
their haveing kids and all the other bullsh goes along
with it. Nobody cares.
Speaker 10 (09:51):
I'm telling you, nobody cares breaking news here on ABC
News Live.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It is just developing. It was just put in my hand.
Speaker 10 (09:58):
Taylor Swift and Travis ke have announced that they are engaged.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
So twelfth studio album for her just released. Twelfth season
set to begin for the Kansas City Chiefs. Fox News
broke away from live continuous coverage of the Trump Cabinet meeting.
I think President Trump was magnanimous. I think he genuinely
likes marriage. I think he likes Travis Kelcey a little
(10:24):
more than Taylor Swift, but that's okay.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Well, I wish him a lot of love.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
Yeah, I think it's I think he said a great player.
I think he's a great guy, and I think that
she's a terrific person. So I wish them a lot
of love.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Seriously, yeah, I believe him. I think he does wish
them a lot of luck. I think this is actually
a good thing. I'm a big fan of marriage. I
always tell people if they're considering marriage. People in my family,
I say, do you do whatever you want, But if
you set the date and have a wedding and invite me,
I will come and get you a great, big wedding press.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
But I do think that marriage is good for you financially.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Statistically speaking, it's a good thing for men for sure,
they live longer. Women who want to be married, they're
better off focusing on being married earlier in life, thirty five,
a little bit at the at the end of that window.
According to doctor Wendy Walsh, the average age for men
(11:28):
is thirty one. The average age in America right now
for women is twenty eight. I thought it was interesting
the statistic that came out this morning. By twenty thirty
five years from now, nearly half of US women between
twenty five and forty four will be single. And according
to the US Census Bureau, if you are a single
(11:51):
woman and you are thirty years old right now, your
odds of getting married are is twenty percent.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
One in five.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Four of five thirty year old women will never get
a ring on that finger. Based on the statistics today
and the trends going forward, if you're thirty five years old,
that number drops.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
To like fifteen percent.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
And if you are unmarried thirty five with the child,
now you're down.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Like in the elevens, it's over.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
So maybe the decision of Taylor Swift to embrace marriage
will single handedly change that course. I mean, the Swifties
do everything she says.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So maybe this will be a thing.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
This could be a thing, This could be the today
could be the day where American culture goes full circle
and embraces marrying. She did everything right, mostly according to
my rules and the rules that I teach my nieces
and people in my life that are close to me
(13:03):
that are young women and who want to be married. Now,
these are just my rules. These are arbitrary, they're just me.
You can do whatever you want. If you want to
be an unmarried person and you're a single woman, then
just keep doing what you're doing. But if you want
to be a married person, then there are rules to
the game. And most women, in my experience, young women
(13:26):
have abstually no idea what the rules are, and they
just keep messing up over and over and over again.
And I've seen it with my own family members. I've
seen it with my nieces and when they follow my rules,
their life works out well with respect to love and marriage,
and when they don't, they just keep making the same
mistake over and over and over again. So watching Taylor Swift,
(13:47):
I was delighted that and I didn't give her these
rules and she I don't know her, but she followed
them relatively closely, and now.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
She's on her wad getting married. So I like that
they have been dating for two years and they made
the decision. If they were dating.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Three or four or five years, I think the whole
thing would have soured because if they want to be married,
and it looks like she wants to be a married person,
it certainly looks like he wants to be a married person.
I think the influence of his older brother, Jason and
the life Jason Kelsey has and Kylie Kelsey, I think
is something that younger brother, Travis Kelcey kind of looks
(14:30):
up to. So I'm assuming that he wants to be
like his older brother, doesn't want to be a bachelor,
doesn't want to be a playboy, wants to be a
family guy. So two years is a goodly amount of time.
You know everything you need to know in those two years,
then you set the date you buy a ring and
(14:51):
you go forward.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So they did that or she did that, because it
really is only up to her. So I do I do?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I give her high marks for not hanging around Christmas,
after Christmas, Thanksgiving, after Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, after Valentine's Day.
We all family members that are just perpetually dating, and
they're in their like twenties and thirties, and there they
are again, and it's Christmas Eve, and oh do you
think you know after like, if you're one of these
(15:18):
couples and you've been like dating forever, when you leave,
when we're doing dishes in the kitchen, after you leave
on Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve or around Valentine's Day, that's
all we and the family are talking about is how
long are you two going to just continue to date?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Are you ever going to get married? Are you just
going to continue like this?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
So that's the conversation that goes on as we're loading
the dishwasher. I mean, I think you have to know that,
So don't be one of these girls that just Christmas
Eve comes and Christmas Eve goes and there's no engagement,
and New Year's Eve comes and New Year's Eve goes
and there's no engagement, and Valentine's Day and around the
around the calendar we go. You can you do that
(16:00):
for eighteen months?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Is my limit. It seems like.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Taylor gave it twenty four months, but she's also got
a busy calendar, so they probably didn't spend as much
time with each other as you're spending with your forever boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
That's the first rule, like just don't hang around. It's embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
The second rule, and I make a lot of sideways
comments on this one, like this is mine.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You don't have to live like this. But words matter.
Louke Penro's rule number four.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Words matter, and when we start using words that are inappropriate, wrong,
or otherwise don't fit, we start believing in the power
of those words.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
So here's my rule.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
If you're a single woman and you ultimately want to
be married someday, there are no boyfriends after age twenty four.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Boyfriend isn't even a word.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
It's a lyric in a nineteen fifties pop song, like
they weren't boyfriends back in the day, Like fifty sixty
years ago, they weren't things called boyfriends. They weren't boyfriends.
One hundred years ago, you had bo's and suitors. Like
the boyfriend is a silly thing that teenage girls talk about.
(17:20):
So it is frankly unbecoming for you, as a thirty
one year old single woman to refer to somebody as
your boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
And I capped at twenty four.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
It really should be capped at twenty one, but I'll
give you to twenty four. After the age of twenty four,
if you're a single woman, there are only three things.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
There is a friend, there is a fiance, and there
is a husband. That's it. That's all there is.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Lou Penrose in for John Cobelt on The John cobelt
Show on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 12 (17:54):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM six.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Forty Lou Penrose and for John Cobelt on The John
coblt Show.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
The big story, of course.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Is the announcement of this engagement, and everybody is talking
about it, and everybody is wondering why.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Everybody is talking about it. So I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Like, if you're not into Taylor Swift, you could care
less what's going on in your life. If you are
not a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, which is
pretty much everybody that is not a fan of the
Kansas City Chiefs. But Chiefs fans are I mean they
are either fans. And then if like no one's this
passionate about the Chiefs, at least not my son's either,
(18:36):
then you could care less.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
But there is a lot.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Of Travis and Kelsey, Travis Kelcey and Taylor swith hatred too.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
People are mad that it's even making news.
Speaker 13 (18:46):
Are we still talking about this?
Speaker 10 (18:48):
I have tuned out the radio like four times and
I come back and it's still Oh my god, I know.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
It even pained the guys on ESPN.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
So for the women listening, the women are very excited
about it, and there is a difference in what is
interesting to women and what is interesting to men. On
the engagement story, a lot of men are wondering why,
Like what what?
Speaker 11 (19:15):
What?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
What was the decision? Why today?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Why did Travis Kelsey pop the question? It's not as exciting.
It's news and you want to know if you're a guy.
But listen to the guys on ESPN. When the story
broke live on TV.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift announced their engagement.
Speaker 11 (19:33):
What wow, Wow, wow, these cuts.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, they're like that gets in the way.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
We're talking about who's getting cut, and that's that's a
much bigger story. But then the guys on ESPN they
don't really know where to go with it because, as guys,
what else is there except that.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
That they're getting married. Oh, they're getting married.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Oh wow, that's pretty much all a guy has to
say about it. Women, they want to know about the stone,
the carrot, the cut. So it's an eight carrot set
in a traditional setting, kind of a rectanglic I guess,
an emerald setting yellow gold, valued at five hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
We'll see where the wedding will be set.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
You're not going to get invited, but we're all going
to be very curious as to where it's all going
to be and how much they spend on the wedding.
Taylor Swift has done very well for herself. Travis Kelsey
is doing very well for himself, but both their lifestyles
cost money. We haven't even gotten into who is going
to draw up that prenuptial agreement. That's going to be
(20:45):
the next big discussion. That'll be the next big pop
culture discussion. Right, the prenuptial agreement. I'd like to read
that prenuptial agreement.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
This is a.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Perfect example as to why something like a prenuptial agreement
is so important. There's nothing unromantic about it. Look at
what's going on here. Taylor Swift has obligations. She's got payroll,
she's got choreographers and musicians and people that depend on
(21:15):
her to continue the Swifty thing going. She's not done,
so she's going to continue to write and produce and
record and perform and entertain. There's no evidence that's gonna stop. So, like,
(21:35):
if things go south for her, she's not going to
turn to the entire you know team and say, hey,
we're not going to do the tour this year. I'm
stuck in a messy divorce and it's costing me a fortune.
Like nobody wants to hear that. So she has an
obligation to protect her assets. And you know, Travis Kelcey
not your average tight end. He has done quite well
(21:57):
for himself between commercial endorsements, Campbell's soup, he's got the
podcast that's a big hit, and he makes money playing football,
and I suspect he's invested well. So He's also got
people that he is responsible to, and you know they
(22:18):
rely on him to protect his assets.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
So this is a.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Perfect way to introduce the idea of a prenuptial agreement
to the common person. It's not about the assets you had,
it's the fact that you have to protect yourself at
all times. And there's nothing unromantic about it. So I
want to find out who's drawn up that prenuptial agreement,
and I want to read it, and I want to
read it live on the air so we all can
(22:42):
learn together.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
You've got some breaking news for us today from the
White House lawn.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
I do read.
Speaker 9 (22:46):
This is a very exciting moment for me in my
professional career because I get to announce that Taylor Swift
and Travis Kelsey are engaged.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Going to broadcasting school, getting a degree in journalism, getting
a job for CBS News as White House correspondent, and
the highlight of the career is to break that story.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
It will be interesting to.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
See if President Trump invites them to the White House
or invites them to mar Alago.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
And if they'll go.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
If they are America's royal couple, then maybe it should
take place at Mar a lago that would.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Bring the country together. That might be a good thing.
I mentioned that it is her twelfth studio album. She's
a real numerologist. She's really into the number. Thirteen. Thirteen
is like a big deal for Taylor Swift. You can
google it.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
It's pretty interesting how it works out for her. But like,
thirteen does work. So I'm catholic. I'm not a numerologist,
but if I was a numerologist, she has figured she
has it figured it out, and she's figured it out.
There's like thirteen tracks on the album, and there's thirteen
words thirteen years when she was thirteen years old. She
(24:04):
always sits in the thirteenth row, in the thirteenth chair
at the award show. It really does work out for her,
So she should stick with that thirteen thing. This is
her twelve studio album, so she has to make at
least one more, and maybe that will be the one.
Maybe that will be the be all end all, the
first album that she makes having married Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
So we're on our way there.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Fox News broke briefly away from their live continuing coverage
of the Trump Cabinet meeting to report that Taylor Swift
was engaged, and you heard doctor Wendy Walsh talk about
this that they're late to the game if they want
to have children.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
They're both thirty five.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
The average marriage in America right now is thirty one
for men, twenty eight for women.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
And everybody is wondering if this is going to.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Be a trend now for women in their thirties to
re embrace marriage as a cultural event since it's been
going in the other direction. Women between twenty five and
forty four, nearly half will be single in the next
five years, and maybe Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Can reverse that course. We'll keep an eye for the
wedding bells. Maybe this is going to be one.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
If that's true, this is going to be one heck
of a Valentine's Day. Loup Penrose in for John Cobelt
on the John Cobalt Show on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 12 (25:27):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
It's the John Cobelt Show. Loup Penrose sitting in for
John Cobelt all this week.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
And some days. The top story is the top story.
It's official.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are getting married. The two
announced their engagement on their Instagram pages with a series
of photos and captioned it your English teacher and your
gym teacher getting married.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I think the English teacher and the gym teacher caption
is a little.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Creepy. There, I just said it.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
That was the only part of the whole story that
I thought was a little off.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Maybe if they had said the.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
English teacher and the gym teacher are getting married, it
would sit a little better. But your English teacher and
your gym teacher getting married like that high school fantasy
thing is really deep, dude. I'm serious tired of the
scenes as Taylor Swift getting married.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I'm with you.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
I just want to say, not all women care about Taylor
Swift getting engaged, could not care any less, have a
great day.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Uh, just a small sample of the networks and they're
breaking cover.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I mean, everybody broke at the same time.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
You could just hit the up arrow on your remote
control and the breaking news.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
CG was on the bottom of the screen.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I'm surprised the ambula alert didn't go off on my phone.
I mean that's the level. So I think the first Yeah,
here's how it sounded on ABC.
Speaker 10 (27:11):
Breaking News here on ABC News Live. It is just developing.
It was just put in my hand. Taylor Swift and
Travis Kelcey have announced that they are engaged.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Oh my god, here's how it sounded on CNN.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
So colossal breaking yours into CNN.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
It's a love story and baby, she just said yes, pop.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Ey conn Taylor Swift and her football star boyfriend Travis
kelce are engaged.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Yeah, and they broke out into song. They didn't sing
on the set at Fox. Sounds like Taylor Swift and
Travis Kelcey are now engaged to be married.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
How about that for news? And if you think that
no women care about this, I think you're wrong.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
All right, guys, this justin some entertainment news that's rocking
the world. Pop superstar Taylor Swift is officially engaged.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
There you have it. Oh my god, how gay are
you you? How do you come up with that?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Swift and Kelsey are America's royal family. I didn't say that.
That was doctor Wendy Walsh. I am straight and that
was doctor Wendy Walsh.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
So that's what she said. It sounds accurate.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I mean, given the fact that ABC the American Broadcasting
Company CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System NBC, the National Broadcasting
Company CNN, Fox, ESPN, TMZ. I mean, everybody broke with it,
So they may not be royalty. There's something. I mean,
(28:42):
there's something going on there. I don't think you can
deny it. And I sense a little anger in your voice,
so I think that you are not happy for them.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
It will be interesting. There will be people rooting for
this to not work.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I think that you should be sincerely happy for them.
They're getting married. They're busy people, they have busy lives.
Not everybody you know is able to find their their
their life partner and the most perfect person and looks
like they're gonna give it a give it a go.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
You can always break up. That's the other thing that.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I always remind my my young nieces and the women
in my family who are young and single, like, give
it a go, get married.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
You can always break up. Like it's you can legally
get divorced.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Now if you start having children, you got to make
that decision before you start having children. I mean, as
best you can. That's not always possible. But you don't
have to just be dating forever. You can get married
and say, you know what, this, this, to this to
this marriage thing ruined the whole situation. I know situations
(29:51):
where that has happened. That's its own level of psychology.
That would be a call to doctor Wendy Walsh. I
don't know why that would be. There are people that
are more happy not being married, and as soon as
they get married it ruins everything. Let's hope that's not
the case for these two. But I think that everybody's
gonna want to know about the wedding dress like the
Royal family. Everybody's gonna want to know who's in the
(30:13):
wedding party like the royal family.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Everybody's gonna want to know where it's gonna be. The
wedding cake. Oh my goodness, are you kidding me? We'll
know every detail about this.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And it doesn't hurt that she has a new album
coming out and the football season is.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Set to kick off.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Let's see here, what do we We're nine days away
for the season kickoff of the NFL Eagles and the Cowboys,
so we're just a couple of days after that will
be the first Kansas.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
City Chiefs game. Will she be there? That's always very exciting.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
So we'll stay tuned for that, and all the songs
are gonna be playing all the time. When you go
home tonight, you're going to see that on TV and
that's gonna be the song they're gonna play, and they're
gonna talk about a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
So it's not my.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Fault that that is a much bigger story than what's
John Bolton have to say about the status of Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
That's not my fault. I don't pick the news.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
We just talk about it here on kfive. Let's see
here we do wor stuff coming up there. Another person
burned a flag, this time in Los Angeles. They got
another flag burner. Now he does not look like he's crazy.
Well they all look crazy to me. But there's still
(31:39):
people testing this whole flag burning thing. I don't think
you ought to do that because, first off, just the
right to burn a flag doesn't mean you have a
right to burn a flag without a permit. So this
person was picked up burning a flag outside the Federal
Building and downtown LA. Yeah, don't be doing that. Don't
do that in Westwood, don't do it anywhere like we
(32:01):
get it. The fact that you're out there with a
sign protesting is enough. You don't have to light a
flag on fire. There's probably some local ordinance that you're violating.
And this guy, the guy that they caught in DC
for burning the flag, I remind you, was arrested by
the National Park Service for existing regulation that you're not
(32:24):
allowed to be burning flags just anywhere you want this
designated protest zones and you have to have a fire
extinguisher and a trash can. I mean, it all sounds
very silly, but these flag burning people are in fact
very silly. So we'll have the latest on that, hey
coming up tomorrow. We'll be joined by California State Assembly
Member Carl Demayo, and I just talked with him. It
(32:45):
turns out that Carl and we will have the ballot title,
so we'll know.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
What they're gonna call Prop fifty.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I suspect you're gonna get a whole lot of mail
going forward on Ye. Yes, I'm Prop fifty and no
on Prop fifty, And we're going to see a lot
of television ads. Yes I Prop fifty and no on
Prop fifty, and I suspect radio is going to be
filled with all kinds of advertisement.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
So we'll begin to know what we're up against.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I believe this is still a decent, uphill battle for
California Governor Gavenusom, but there is a lot of chicanery
going on, and they've made it very clear that they
are going to do this at all costs. So when
you believe, as I think Democrats with Trump's arrangement syndrome do,
(33:35):
that democracy itself hangs in the balance, then why not
draw up a misleading ballot title.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
So we'll get the latest by.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
California Assemblyman Carl Demiel tomorrow at two o'clock right here
on the John Coblt Show. Tim Conway Junior is next
on kf I AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Hey, you've been listening to the John Covelt Show podcast.
You can hear the show live on KFI AM six
forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't f I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Lou Penrose sitting in for John Cobalt this week. It
is official.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's official.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are getting married. The two
announced their engagement on their Instagram pages with a series
of photos and captioned it your English teacher and your
gym teacher.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Game was married. Yeah. It was breaking news everywhere. Here's NBC.
Speaker 5 (00:25):
All right, guys, this justin some entertainment news that's rocking
the world. The pop superstar Taylor Swift is officially engaged.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Here's how would sound it on CNN.
Speaker 6 (00:33):
Some colossal breaking juries into CNN.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
It's a love story and baby, she just said yes.
Speaker 6 (00:41):
Pop ey iconn Taylor Swift and her football star boyfriend
Travis Kelce are engaged.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Here's how it sounded at the White House during a
cabinet meeting.
Speaker 7 (00:50):
Well, I wish I've a lot alone. Yeah, I think
it's I think you said a great player. I think
he's a great guy, and I think and she's a
durrific person. So I wish they have a lot of love.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
So breaking news on every platform in sports, broadcasting, news, politics,
pop culture, entertainment. Tonight, my goodness, doctor Wendy Walsh. You
hear her live every Sunday night here at seven on KFI.
You know, Doctor Wendy, It's so fascinating to me. So
often in pop culture it seems like we're almost resistant,
(01:25):
sometimes even belligerent to tradition, and then we all get
the vapors. When something like this happens and no one
can talk about anything else.
Speaker 8 (01:34):
Well, it must be a slow newsweek. But I do
have to say, this is America's royal couple, and the
fandom has been waiting for nearly two years for either
an explosion, a breakup, somebody to have an affair, or
somebody to get engage. So luckily, the outcome is one
that is making many people joyful. I'm excited for them
because I think they've done many things right in their relationship,
(01:55):
especially for celebrities.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
So they're both they're about thirty five years old. Is
that the new Is that? Is that the new sweet
spot for couples to decide? Okay, let's go forward into
the next chapter.
Speaker 8 (02:09):
No, they're a little late. So the average age of
first time marriage has been going up for the last
few decades. For men, it is now the age of
thirty one in America, and for women it's the age
of twenty eight. Now, we shouldn't dismiss the fertility window.
It's a real thing. I don't know if there are any
news reports of Taylor freezing her eggs at any point.
So you know, basically, the height of female fertility biologically
(02:32):
is still the age of twenty and then it hovers
around there through the twenties. Takes a fall at thirty
and falls off a cliff at thirty five. So my
advice is, get on this YouTube. We want to see
a baby next.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Does this have an impact?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
You know I was talking before the break, there's some
new numbers out of store story that was out that
nearly half by twenty thirty, nearly half of US women
between twenty five and forty four will be single. So
Taylor Swift has tremendous influence over American women between the
ages of twenty five and forty four. I mean already
the Rop Lauren dress that she is in in the
Instagram post is sold out, so that in and of
(03:10):
itself speaks to her level of influence.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Now she's getting married.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Does she singularly make marriage cool again for single women.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
That's a really good question, lou and it's something that
we should follow and think about because our culture and
our environment makes a huge difference in our behavior, right
it can pressure us one way or the other. I
want to remind everybody that this group of women that
are unmarried, some of them are doing it by choice,
(03:39):
and some of them are feeling like they've been left
out because unfortunately, patriarchy still swims around the heads of women.
And even though we are seeing an oversupply of successful
women in the mating marketplace, women are surging ahead in economics,
they are surging ahead in education, they still have this
Cinderella complex in their head that they're looking for a
(04:00):
man who has more money, more age, more wisdom, more education.
And those guys don't have a fertility window, and there's
high competition for them, and they are riding the wave
of free sex that's existing right now. So the question is,
will women say I'm gonna take a man any man.
(04:21):
I won't call it settling, I'll call it a best
friend and partner. Because Taylor's doing it because we know
she has slightly more money than him, right.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I think that's that's correct. I think that's correct.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
However, they you know, they optically fit. They just they
seem to go together. They seem very comfortable with each other.
You know, you mentioned she did it, right. I mean
they dated for a goodly amount of time, right.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I mean that they.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
Got tribal approval, meaning they introduce their families to each other.
The families get along because these two sets of families
may be co grandparents someday soon, and so that is
very import you know. I used to host a show
for Investigation Discovery called Happily Never After about brides and
grooms who murdered each other. It was usually the groom
(05:07):
doing the murdering, by the way, and almost every time
they eloped and their family didn't approve of the person.
And so it's really important that we vet our partners
with friends and family.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
And everybody else. I mean the entire stadium at Arrowhead
on every Sunday.
Speaker 8 (05:28):
We're less important than intimate friends and family.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You said that we were all waiting for this announcement
or a scandal or a breaker.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
That's I have mixed emotion about that. We ought to
be happy. Shouldn't we be happy? For them.
Speaker 8 (05:47):
Yes, we should be happy for them, but if there'd
been a scandal, that would have been exciting too. I mean,
we live vicariously through the lives of our celebrities and
we are watching them as boyeurs. In many ways. Most
people listening will not be invited to the wedding, so
we can only live through it through media reports and
Instagram and photographs.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Et Doctor Wendy Walsh, Sunday nights at seven, seven and
nine on KFI AM six forty. I always appreciate your
insight on stories like this. It's always great to talk
with you.
Speaker 8 (06:15):
Thanks Lute, nice chatting Bye.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
It is official, and I just I'm amazed with how
breaking the story was, and there was everybody was racing
to get the story live on the air. You could
be a White House correspondent, which isn't an easy get right.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Just being a reporter field reporter.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
For an affiliate is hard work. Being an anchor for
an affiliate in a small or medium sized city is
hard work. Being an anchor at the desk in Washington,
DC for an affiliate.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Then you get into the network level.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Then you get network correspondent, and the CBS network correspondent
for the White House. Who needs to know about White
House things? She got to break the story. Here's how
it sounded on CBS News. You's got some breaking news
for us today from the White House lawn. I do read.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
This is a very exciting moment for me in my
professional career because I get to announce that Taylor Swift
and Travis Kelsey are engaged.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
My goodness. So that's CBS. Here's how it sounded on Fox.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Sounds like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey are now engaged.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
To be married. How about that for news. What's interesting
is how ESPN covered it. Now, ESPN was the Pat
McCaffrey show.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
It was all guys, so it wasn't like a woman
White House correspondent. They are on the White House lawn
waiting to announce the latest statement from the president, or
you know, as the case in CNN, you have a
male and a female co anchoring. This is all guys,
so juxtaposed the way it was presented breaking news on CNN,
(07:59):
some colawn.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Soul breaking juries into CNN. It's a love story and.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Baby she just said yes, okay, they're singing on the
set at CNN.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Uh, here is a ESPN breaking.
Speaker 10 (08:13):
News Travis Kelsey and taylors would announced their engagement.
Speaker 11 (08:16):
What wow, wow, wow Trump.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, that's a difference.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
There you go yet again. Uh, happy women.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
It's a love story and baby she just said yes.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And then of course ESPN the fellas.
Speaker 11 (08:38):
Wow wow.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Wow that Trump's all these cuts.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah, they're in the middle talking about cuts going into
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Louke Penrose sitting in a.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
John Cobelt on the John Coblt Show on kf I
Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 12 (08:57):
You're listening to John Cobelt on dem from KFI AM.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Six forty Blue Penrose in for John Cobalt on the
John Cobalt Show. It is official. Remember where you were
when the announcement was made that Travis Kelcey and Taylor
Swift became engaged.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Really, Taylor Travis Keils's engagement, that's news.
Speaker 13 (09:20):
Really, come on now, that is not stimulating radio.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I'm with you. I just had a kid.
Speaker 13 (09:26):
My girlfriend is thirty six, I will be forty four
this year, and they gave her a hard time for
being an older lady at the hospital getting pregnant at
thirty six.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Well, they're thirty five.
Speaker 14 (09:39):
A perfect way to get a listener and change the
channel to start talking about celebrities and their marriages and
their haveing kids and all the other bullsh goes along
with it. Nobody cares.
Speaker 10 (09:51):
I'm telling you, nobody cares breaking news here on ABC
News Live.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It is just developing. It was just put in my hand.
Speaker 10 (09:58):
Taylor Swift and Travis ke have announced that they are engaged.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
So twelfth studio album for her just released. Twelfth season
set to begin for the Kansas City Chiefs. Fox News
broke away from live continuous coverage of the Trump Cabinet meeting.
I think President Trump was magnanimous. I think he genuinely
likes marriage. I think he likes Travis Kelcey a little
(10:24):
more than Taylor Swift, but that's okay.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Well, I wish him a lot of love.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
Yeah, I think it's I think he said a great player.
I think he's a great guy, and I think that
she's a terrific person. So I wish them a lot
of love.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Seriously, yeah, I believe him. I think he does wish
them a lot of luck. I think this is actually
a good thing. I'm a big fan of marriage. I
always tell people if they're considering marriage. People in my family,
I say, do you do whatever you want, But if
you set the date and have a wedding and invite me,
I will come and get you a great, big wedding press.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
But I do think that marriage is good for you financially.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Statistically speaking, it's a good thing for men for sure,
they live longer. Women who want to be married, they're
better off focusing on being married earlier in life, thirty five,
a little bit at the at the end of that window.
According to doctor Wendy Walsh, the average age for men
(11:28):
is thirty one. The average age in America right now
for women is twenty eight. I thought it was interesting
the statistic that came out this morning. By twenty thirty
five years from now, nearly half of US women between
twenty five and forty four will be single. And according
to the US Census Bureau, if you are a single
(11:51):
woman and you are thirty years old right now, your
odds of getting married are is twenty percent.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
One in five.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Four of five thirty year old women will never get
a ring on that finger. Based on the statistics today
and the trends going forward, if you're thirty five years old,
that number drops.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
To like fifteen percent.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
And if you are unmarried thirty five with the child,
now you're down.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Like in the elevens, it's over.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
So maybe the decision of Taylor Swift to embrace marriage
will single handedly change that course. I mean, the Swifties
do everything she says.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So maybe this will be a thing.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
This could be a thing, This could be the today
could be the day where American culture goes full circle
and embraces marrying. She did everything right, mostly according to
my rules and the rules that I teach my nieces
and people in my life that are close to me
(13:03):
that are young women and who want to be married. Now,
these are just my rules. These are arbitrary, they're just me.
You can do whatever you want. If you want to
be an unmarried person and you're a single woman, then
just keep doing what you're doing. But if you want
to be a married person, then there are rules to
the game. And most women, in my experience, young women
(13:26):
have abstually no idea what the rules are, and they
just keep messing up over and over and over again.
And I've seen it with my own family members. I've
seen it with my nieces and when they follow my rules,
their life works out well with respect to love and marriage,
and when they don't, they just keep making the same
mistake over and over and over again. So watching Taylor Swift,
(13:47):
I was delighted that and I didn't give her these
rules and she I don't know her, but she followed
them relatively closely, and now.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
She's on her wad getting married. So I like that
they have been dating for two years and they made
the decision. If they were dating.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Three or four or five years, I think the whole
thing would have soured because if they want to be married,
and it looks like she wants to be a married person,
it certainly looks like he wants to be a married person.
I think the influence of his older brother, Jason and
the life Jason Kelsey has and Kylie Kelsey, I think
is something that younger brother, Travis Kelcey kind of looks
(14:30):
up to. So I'm assuming that he wants to be
like his older brother, doesn't want to be a bachelor,
doesn't want to be a playboy, wants to be a
family guy. So two years is a goodly amount of time.
You know everything you need to know in those two years,
then you set the date you buy a ring and
(14:51):
you go forward.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So they did that or she did that, because it
really is only up to her. So I do I do?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I give her high marks for not hanging around Christmas,
after Christmas, Thanksgiving, after Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, after Valentine's Day.
We all family members that are just perpetually dating, and
they're in their like twenties and thirties, and there they
are again, and it's Christmas Eve, and oh do you
think you know after like, if you're one of these
(15:18):
couples and you've been like dating forever, when you leave,
when we're doing dishes in the kitchen, after you leave
on Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve or around Valentine's Day, that's
all we and the family are talking about is how
long are you two going to just continue to date?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Are you ever going to get married? Are you just
going to continue like this?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
So that's the conversation that goes on as we're loading
the dishwasher. I mean, I think you have to know that,
So don't be one of these girls that just Christmas
Eve comes and Christmas Eve goes and there's no engagement,
and New Year's Eve comes and New Year's Eve goes
and there's no engagement, and Valentine's Day and around the
around the calendar we go. You can you do that
(16:00):
for eighteen months?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Is my limit. It seems like.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Taylor gave it twenty four months, but she's also got
a busy calendar, so they probably didn't spend as much
time with each other as you're spending with your forever boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
That's the first rule, like just don't hang around. It's embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
The second rule, and I make a lot of sideways
comments on this one, like this is mine.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You don't have to live like this. But words matter.
Louke Penro's rule number four.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Words matter, and when we start using words that are inappropriate, wrong,
or otherwise don't fit, we start believing in the power
of those words.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
So here's my rule.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
If you're a single woman and you ultimately want to
be married someday, there are no boyfriends after age twenty four.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Boyfriend isn't even a word.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
It's a lyric in a nineteen fifties pop song, like
they weren't boyfriends back in the day, Like fifty sixty
years ago, they weren't things called boyfriends. They weren't boyfriends.
One hundred years ago, you had bo's and suitors. Like
the boyfriend is a silly thing that teenage girls talk about.
(17:20):
So it is frankly unbecoming for you, as a thirty
one year old single woman to refer to somebody as
your boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
And I capped at twenty four.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
It really should be capped at twenty one, but I'll
give you to twenty four. After the age of twenty four,
if you're a single woman, there are only three things.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
There is a friend, there is a fiance, and there
is a husband. That's it. That's all there is.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Lou Penrose in for John Cobelt on The John cobelt
Show on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 12 (17:54):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM six.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Forty Lou Penrose and for John Cobelt on The John
coblt Show.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
The big story, of course.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Is the announcement of this engagement, and everybody is talking
about it, and everybody is wondering why.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Everybody is talking about it. So I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Like, if you're not into Taylor Swift, you could care
less what's going on in your life. If you are
not a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, which is
pretty much everybody that is not a fan of the
Kansas City Chiefs. But Chiefs fans are I mean they
are either fans. And then if like no one's this
passionate about the Chiefs, at least not my son's either,
(18:36):
then you could care less.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
But there is a lot.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Of Travis and Kelsey, Travis Kelcey and Taylor swith hatred too.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
People are mad that it's even making news.
Speaker 13 (18:46):
Are we still talking about this?
Speaker 10 (18:48):
I have tuned out the radio like four times and
I come back and it's still Oh my god, I know.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
It even pained the guys on ESPN.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
So for the women listening, the women are very excited
about it, and there is a difference in what is
interesting to women and what is interesting to men. On
the engagement story, a lot of men are wondering why,
Like what what?
Speaker 11 (19:15):
What?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
What was the decision? Why today?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Why did Travis Kelsey pop the question? It's not as exciting.
It's news and you want to know if you're a guy.
But listen to the guys on ESPN. When the story
broke live on TV.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift announced their engagement.
Speaker 11 (19:33):
What wow, Wow, wow, these cuts.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, they're like that gets in the way.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
We're talking about who's getting cut, and that's that's a
much bigger story. But then the guys on ESPN they
don't really know where to go with it because, as guys,
what else is there except that.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
That they're getting married. Oh, they're getting married.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Oh wow, that's pretty much all a guy has to
say about it. Women, they want to know about the stone,
the carrot, the cut. So it's an eight carrot set
in a traditional setting, kind of a rectanglic I guess,
an emerald setting yellow gold, valued at five hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
We'll see where the wedding will be set.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
You're not going to get invited, but we're all going
to be very curious as to where it's all going
to be and how much they spend on the wedding.
Taylor Swift has done very well for herself. Travis Kelsey
is doing very well for himself, but both their lifestyles
cost money. We haven't even gotten into who is going
to draw up that prenuptial agreement. That's going to be
(20:45):
the next big discussion. That'll be the next big pop
culture discussion. Right, the prenuptial agreement. I'd like to read
that prenuptial agreement.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
This is a.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Perfect example as to why something like a prenuptial agreement
is so important. There's nothing unromantic about it. Look at
what's going on here. Taylor Swift has obligations. She's got payroll,
she's got choreographers and musicians and people that depend on
(21:15):
her to continue the Swifty thing going. She's not done,
so she's going to continue to write and produce and
record and perform and entertain. There's no evidence that's gonna stop. So, like,
(21:35):
if things go south for her, she's not going to
turn to the entire you know team and say, hey,
we're not going to do the tour this year. I'm
stuck in a messy divorce and it's costing me a fortune.
Like nobody wants to hear that. So she has an
obligation to protect her assets. And you know, Travis Kelcey
not your average tight end. He has done quite well
(21:57):
for himself between commercial endorsements, Campbell's soup, he's got the
podcast that's a big hit, and he makes money playing football,
and I suspect he's invested well. So He's also got
people that he is responsible to, and you know they
(22:18):
rely on him to protect his assets.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
So this is a.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Perfect way to introduce the idea of a prenuptial agreement
to the common person. It's not about the assets you had,
it's the fact that you have to protect yourself at
all times. And there's nothing unromantic about it. So I
want to find out who's drawn up that prenuptial agreement,
and I want to read it, and I want to
read it live on the air so we all can
(22:42):
learn together.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
You've got some breaking news for us today from the
White House lawn.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
I do read.
Speaker 9 (22:46):
This is a very exciting moment for me in my
professional career because I get to announce that Taylor Swift
and Travis Kelsey are engaged.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Going to broadcasting school, getting a degree in journalism, getting
a job for CBS News as White House correspondent, and
the highlight of the career is to break that story.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
It will be interesting to.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
See if President Trump invites them to the White House
or invites them to mar Alago.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
And if they'll go.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
If they are America's royal couple, then maybe it should
take place at Mar a lago that would.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Bring the country together. That might be a good thing.
I mentioned that it is her twelfth studio album. She's
a real numerologist. She's really into the number. Thirteen. Thirteen
is like a big deal for Taylor Swift. You can
google it.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
It's pretty interesting how it works out for her. But like,
thirteen does work. So I'm catholic. I'm not a numerologist,
but if I was a numerologist, she has figured she
has it figured it out, and she's figured it out.
There's like thirteen tracks on the album, and there's thirteen
words thirteen years when she was thirteen years old. She
(24:04):
always sits in the thirteenth row, in the thirteenth chair
at the award show. It really does work out for her,
So she should stick with that thirteen thing. This is
her twelve studio album, so she has to make at
least one more, and maybe that will be the one.
Maybe that will be the be all end all, the
first album that she makes having married Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
So we're on our way there.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Fox News broke briefly away from their live continuing coverage
of the Trump Cabinet meeting to report that Taylor Swift
was engaged, and you heard doctor Wendy Walsh talk about
this that they're late to the game if they want
to have children.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
They're both thirty five.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
The average marriage in America right now is thirty one
for men, twenty eight for women.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
And everybody is wondering if this is going to.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Be a trend now for women in their thirties to
re embrace marriage as a cultural event since it's been
going in the other direction. Women between twenty five and
forty four, nearly half will be single in the next
five years, and maybe Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Can reverse that course. We'll keep an eye for the
wedding bells. Maybe this is going to be one.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
If that's true, this is going to be one heck
of a Valentine's Day. Loup Penrose in for John Cobelt
on the John Cobalt Show on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 12 (25:27):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
It's the John Cobelt Show. Loup Penrose sitting in for
John Cobelt all this week.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
And some days. The top story is the top story.
It's official.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are getting married. The two
announced their engagement on their Instagram pages with a series
of photos and captioned it your English teacher and your
gym teacher getting married.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I think the English teacher and the gym teacher caption
is a little.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Creepy. There, I just said it.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
That was the only part of the whole story that
I thought was a little off.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Maybe if they had said the.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
English teacher and the gym teacher are getting married, it
would sit a little better. But your English teacher and
your gym teacher getting married like that high school fantasy
thing is really deep, dude. I'm serious tired of the
scenes as Taylor Swift getting married.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I'm with you.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
I just want to say, not all women care about Taylor
Swift getting engaged, could not care any less, have a
great day.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Uh, just a small sample of the networks and they're
breaking cover.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I mean, everybody broke at the same time.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
You could just hit the up arrow on your remote
control and the breaking news.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
CG was on the bottom of the screen.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I'm surprised the ambula alert didn't go off on my phone.
I mean that's the level. So I think the first Yeah,
here's how it sounded on ABC.
Speaker 10 (27:11):
Breaking News here on ABC News Live. It is just developing.
It was just put in my hand. Taylor Swift and
Travis Kelcey have announced that they are engaged.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Oh my god, here's how it sounded on CNN.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
So colossal breaking yours into CNN.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
It's a love story and baby, she just said yes, pop.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Ey conn Taylor Swift and her football star boyfriend Travis
kelce are engaged.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Yeah, and they broke out into song. They didn't sing
on the set at Fox. Sounds like Taylor Swift and
Travis Kelcey are now engaged to be married.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
How about that for news? And if you think that
no women care about this, I think you're wrong.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
All right, guys, this justin some entertainment news that's rocking
the world. Pop superstar Taylor Swift is officially engaged.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
There you have it. Oh my god, how gay are
you you? How do you come up with that?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Swift and Kelsey are America's royal family. I didn't say that.
That was doctor Wendy Walsh. I am straight and that
was doctor Wendy Walsh.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
So that's what she said. It sounds accurate.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I mean, given the fact that ABC the American Broadcasting
Company CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System NBC, the National Broadcasting
Company CNN, Fox, ESPN, TMZ. I mean, everybody broke with it,
So they may not be royalty. There's something. I mean,
(28:42):
there's something going on there. I don't think you can
deny it. And I sense a little anger in your voice,
so I think that you are not happy for them.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
It will be interesting. There will be people rooting for
this to not work.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I think that you should be sincerely happy for them.
They're getting married. They're busy people, they have busy lives.
Not everybody you know is able to find their their
their life partner and the most perfect person and looks
like they're gonna give it a give it a go.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
You can always break up. That's the other thing that.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I always remind my my young nieces and the women
in my family who are young and single, like, give
it a go, get married.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
You can always break up. Like it's you can legally
get divorced.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Now if you start having children, you got to make
that decision before you start having children. I mean, as
best you can. That's not always possible. But you don't
have to just be dating forever. You can get married
and say, you know what, this, this, to this to
this marriage thing ruined the whole situation. I know situations
(29:51):
where that has happened. That's its own level of psychology.
That would be a call to doctor Wendy Walsh. I
don't know why that would be. There are people that
are more happy not being married, and as soon as
they get married it ruins everything. Let's hope that's not
the case for these two. But I think that everybody's
gonna want to know about the wedding dress like the
Royal family. Everybody's gonna want to know who's in the
(30:13):
wedding party like the royal family.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Everybody's gonna want to know where it's gonna be. The
wedding cake. Oh my goodness, are you kidding me? We'll
know every detail about this.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And it doesn't hurt that she has a new album
coming out and the football season is.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Set to kick off.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Let's see here, what do we We're nine days away
for the season kickoff of the NFL Eagles and the Cowboys,
so we're just a couple of days after that will
be the first Kansas.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
City Chiefs game. Will she be there? That's always very exciting.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
So we'll stay tuned for that, and all the songs
are gonna be playing all the time. When you go
home tonight, you're going to see that on TV and
that's gonna be the song they're gonna play, and they're
gonna talk about a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
So it's not my.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Fault that that is a much bigger story than what's
John Bolton have to say about the status of Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
That's not my fault. I don't pick the news.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
We just talk about it here on kfive. Let's see
here we do wor stuff coming up there. Another person
burned a flag, this time in Los Angeles. They got
another flag burner. Now he does not look like he's crazy.
Well they all look crazy to me. But there's still
(31:39):
people testing this whole flag burning thing. I don't think
you ought to do that because, first off, just the
right to burn a flag doesn't mean you have a
right to burn a flag without a permit. So this
person was picked up burning a flag outside the Federal
Building and downtown LA. Yeah, don't be doing that. Don't
do that in Westwood, don't do it anywhere like we
(32:01):
get it. The fact that you're out there with a
sign protesting is enough. You don't have to light a
flag on fire. There's probably some local ordinance that you're violating.
And this guy, the guy that they caught in DC
for burning the flag, I remind you, was arrested by
the National Park Service for existing regulation that you're not
(32:24):
allowed to be burning flags just anywhere you want this
designated protest zones and you have to have a fire
extinguisher and a trash can. I mean, it all sounds
very silly, but these flag burning people are in fact
very silly. So we'll have the latest on that, hey
coming up tomorrow. We'll be joined by California State Assembly
Member Carl Demayo, and I just talked with him. It
(32:45):
turns out that Carl and we will have the ballot title,
so we'll know.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
What they're gonna call Prop fifty.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I suspect you're gonna get a whole lot of mail
going forward on Ye. Yes, I'm Prop fifty and no
on Prop fifty, And we're going to see a lot
of television ads. Yes I Prop fifty and no on
Prop fifty, and I suspect radio is going to be
filled with all kinds of advertisement.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
So we'll begin to know what we're up against.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I believe this is still a decent, uphill battle for
California Governor Gavenusom, but there is a lot of chicanery
going on, and they've made it very clear that they
are going to do this at all costs. So when
you believe, as I think Democrats with Trump's arrangement syndrome do,
(33:35):
that democracy itself hangs in the balance, then why not
draw up a misleading ballot title.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
So we'll get the latest by.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
California Assemblyman Carl Demiel tomorrow at two o'clock right here
on the John Coblt Show. Tim Conway Junior is next
on kf I AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Hey, you've been listening to the John Covelt Show podcast.

forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
