Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our namebir three. Heading to the Heartland.
That is where everyone's favorite boyfriend, Chief's tight end, Travis
Kelsey is playing football, but he plans to play until
the wheels on the bus foul off. The wheels on
the bus fall off. How do you react to this news? Also,

(00:22):
Mike Tomlin says Russell Wilson is still in the pole
position to be the quarterback one in Pittsburgh. Are you
surprised by that? And one of the odds that Matthew
Stafford holds out in a contract squabble from Rams camp.
We'll get to that story as well. It's coming your
way right now here. It is our number three that

(00:44):
Chief isn't going anywhere nowhere.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Well come in.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
The beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
As we are in the air everywhere co ming as
we have a fresh coat of paint, coast, the coast, border,
the border, and beyond on the vast indiscernibly powerful microphones

(01:12):
of fs are emmundating live from the lounge, the lit lounge,
because these takes are smoking, They're absolutely smoking. We're broadcasting
live from the Tiraq dot Com studios tiraq dot com
will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.

(01:35):
Tire iraq dot com the way tire buying show me.
I'd like to point out that Jody, the realtor, who's
a fan of the show, has his cat picking baseball
games and sent me a message early in the day
that the Dodgers were going to win because his cat
picked the Dodgers, and that his cat has like an

(01:56):
eight hundred winning percent or some ridiculous winning percentage. Popped
in my head. The great Jody the realtor and his
his cat that picks him. Now, I thought of a
bit we could do. How about the cat versus Poppy?
Jody the Realtor's cat versus Poppy to see who can
pick more winning I think that'd be a good bit.
We remember we tried that during football season and then

(02:16):
Poppy decided to steal it. Pick him with the chicken,
and then he stole it as his own, And I
mean yeah, Now I lead this hour from the Choppions
Layer Camsaw City. Will the pop star's boyfriend leave the
NFL early for the riches of Hollywood, they want to
be game show host and two bet actor exiting stage

(02:41):
left to play tag along with the Swifties on the
global tour. Well, the latest on is Travis Kelsey spoke
about this. Maybe you saw it, maybe you didn't, We'll
tell you about it. So Travis Kelsey says he is
not not planning on twenty twenty four being his final season,
and he will he says, play until the wheel fall off,

(03:01):
and he says hopefully that doesn't happen anytime soon. Okay,
that's a quote. Now Kelsey will turn thirty five in October.
In the real world, thirty five is not old. But
in the sports world, getting old that's just the way
it is. Thirty five is a tight end, getting little old,
get a little older, not just a little old, a
lot old. So the miles are starting to pile up

(03:22):
on the odometer. You might want to go to tire
rack to get some new tires. I'm just saying, yes,
some issues there. So let us discuss the question. Chiefs
tight end, Travis Kelcey planning to play until the wheels
fall off? How do you react to this development? So
I've got Anthony Bourdain poultry farming and Enron, and we

(03:45):
will combine all of these things together, and we are
going to make sautaied onions pretty good. Right now, I
make my cheese steak on the weekends, and I started
adding the sautaed onions mixed. Though they used to cook
those red on the grid, but I saw ta them
little bit. Its way to go. Can't go wrong with that?
And the bell pepper. All right, So number wa answer

(04:14):
the question, no, answer the question. How do you react
to the Travis Kelcey story? Here it is a sage decision.
Assuming Kelsey is on the up and up, and we
don't know. These athletes lie all the time, so who knows.
But assuming he's being honest here, there is an adage
in sport that make them rip the jersey off your back.

(04:38):
Make them rip the jersey off your back, as the
saying goes, when you stop playing, your value goes into
the great depression. That's the way it is. Right. Even Kelsey's, ah,
Kelsey's beyond that. No, No, even Kelsey will suffer suffer from halatosis.

(04:58):
He will. You Thinkaylor Swift wants to date a washed
up retired professional athlete. No, come on, and you think
all these businesses and you know, entertainment companies that are
partnering with Kelsey want him because of he's you know,
him being retired, just because he's got this great person.
He's kind of a meathead, isn't he. I mean I've

(05:20):
heard him not very bright. Travis Kelsey good at football.
Good for him. I wouldn't have him do my taxes.
I mean that's being honest here. So you think you
think about the situation. And we know this from the
fact that fame is fleeting in all walks of life,
but in sports in particular. Like when you retire, if

(05:40):
you're a big name athlete, you get offered a lot
of jobs right away. You get offered a lot of
jobs if you're a headliner. A great example of this
would be Drew Brees. Drew Brees got a wonderful job
at the Peacock, but he's stunk at a time you
cannot stink, and they got rid of him rather quickly.
And no one else has called him and said, hey,
would like to broadcast games here, Drue. No one's brought

(06:03):
that up. It's kind of like bubblegum. Being a professional
athlete is like bubble gum because you take a stick
of bubblegum, you chew it, you blow a few bubbles
in the stick of bubble gum, then you spit the
wad of gum out of your mouth and you go
get a new stick of gum. That's the way that
it works. And Travis Kelce doesn't get the game shows,

(06:24):
he doesn't get the acting without Taylor Swift. So he's
got that going for him. So congratulations, he's got that.
But the foundation is the NFL Kansas City and the
success and as far as the wear and tear, you
keep going until you can't go. And Travis Kelsey was
pretty mediocre most of the season. Now he came on

(06:46):
during the postseason and played like Gangbusters, So that's fine.
I mean, he played very well then. But here's the thing.
Follow the teachings of Anthony Boordain, the celebrity chef who said,
your body is not your temper. It is an amusement
park ride. Enjoy the ride. And so Travis Kelsey's enjoying
the ride, enjoying the ride. And we know how the

(07:08):
right ends. We know how every right ends. Eventually it's
gonna end. So that's that all right now, Page two,
Next stop we go to the burn. The ink is
still drying on Mike Tomlin's three year contract extension, and
now the focus turns back to the huddle. Who is
going to be QB number one in Western Pennsylvania. Inquiring

(07:32):
minds would like to know, well, Tom that address this.
Mike Tomlin said that Russell Wilson is still in the
pole position. I'm old. I remember there was a video game.
Pole position was pretty cool in the arcade. But anyway,
Tomains says, Russell Wilson is still in the pole position
as QB one in Pittsburgh. Are you surprised, No, nothing's changed.

(07:53):
Why would anything change? I'm not surprised, No way, am
I surprised because it's only been a couple days since
the last reporting that we got in boots on the
ground in Pittsburgh that say every indicator, every key indicator,
says that Russell Wilson's going to be the starting quarterback
and that Mike Tomlin is looking around the locker room.
He's got his whole plan in his head. The Steeler

(08:14):
front office, he's running a quarterback rehab clinic. And Russ
was put right there at the top of the totem
pole mainly because of his LinkedIn page what he had done,
not what he is currently doing, right, and so he
gets a clean slate going to Pittsburgh. We know, aw
this works, looking for a resurrection, looking for a resurrection

(08:36):
from sin to salvation in Pittsburgh. But it's really a
case where Mike Tomlin is running a farm. He's a
poultry farmer. And you look at the quarterback position and
Russell Wilson is Russ the headless chicken. Okay, and did
you hear what Russell Wilson said? By the way, did
you hear the boy? This guy's got a lot of

(08:57):
hoods buss My grandfather was saying, take a listen to
Russell Wilson asked about where he's at right now as
he settles in in Pittsburgh. Let's go to the audio tape.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
I feel I feel the fountain of youth.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Man, I just I feel fountain of youth, you know,
I feel revived in every way, emotion, inspiracy. I feel confident.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
You know.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
I think at some point you got to know who
you are, you know, as a player, as a man.
Is this competitor, you know, as somebody who's been unfortunate
playing this game? And I don't doubt if you know,
I just I felt really, I felt really good last
year playing you know, I felt really confident in the
midst of everything, and so I think right now I

(09:36):
have all that confidence time team.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
So I just just use it all, you know, and
just use it all.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
You just trust it. You know, you take one day
at a time and you just you just uh, you know,
you just put in the work.

Speaker 6 (09:46):
We just think that.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
That's that's the part that I love. There's nothing like
doing the work. There's no substitute. There's no substitute for
the hard work. And that's that's that's.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
The part that I love. Our microphone was actually over
in Harrisburg. We had a boom mic in Harrisburg and
he heard a lot of ambient noise there. So when
I hear people brag about how much work they do,
I immediately say, douchebag, you do the work. You don't
brag about the work you're doing. You just do the work.
You do the job that has to be done. And
I've worked with people in radio over the years that

(10:14):
love to brag about what they're doing. I'm like, you
work in radio, Okay, this is not we're not paving
roads in the summertime. Make a pretty easy job, and
you complain about, oh, it's so difficult. I just roll
my eyes at that. And he hit just about every
major cliche. It was hard to hear. I'm weren't headphones,
it was hard to hear. But trust me, he had
almost every cliche you can hit. All right, Last stop,

(10:36):
last stop. So Russ is going to be the lead
headless chicken and then the project. He's got first DIBs Russ.
And then you got Justin Fields, who's like way in
the back waiting for Russ to fail, and then he'll
get the opportunity. Now, final stop, we go to La
La Land where Rams Super Bowl champion quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Matthew Stafford is seeking a restructured contract. Don't we all

(11:00):
with like that done? This offseason? Offseason ends in about
a month. About a month training camp begins. Sounds like
it will not will not be a holdout at least
Mike or the coach, and Sean McVay said to a
reporter for a state sponsor at NFL Media that Sean
mvay said he expects Stafford to be present when training

(11:22):
camp begins. However, it is not guaranteed. He said, not guaranteed.
So the question what are the odds. Matthew Stafford holds
out of La RAM training camp, So I'm gonna send
the odds on this at plus four hundred, not zero
plus four hundred, which implies a twenty percent chance. Twenty

(11:43):
percent chance. And here's why the Rams wanted to get
rid of Stafford before last season. But Stafford made it
relatively healthily through the season. I don't think that's a
proper use of the English language, but he was healthy
for the most part last season. Dinged up at one point,
but everyone seems to miss at least one or two

(12:03):
games during the season at this point with seventeen game season.
But the Rams, since the cap is crap, the RAMS
have been able to use Enron level accounting. That might
be a dated reference, but look up Enron kids, you'll
learn about that. But practicing the dark arts of finagling
the numbers, the RAMS very good at that. They move

(12:25):
numbers around and all that. The RAMS will turn salary
roster bonuses into signing bonuses, and they'll add some voidable
years and they'll mess around and across the tee here,
Dot and I over there add an extra a and
pressed down Matthew Stafford will get some more money. The

(12:47):
Rams will have a happy camper. And keep in mind
the Rams do not have a backup option. They have
Jimmy Garoppolo when he's done with his suspension. So Stafford's
got to make it through the first two games of
the year. You can't get hurt in training camp because
then Garoppolo's got the steroids suspension. Then you can come back.
All right, is the Ben Mahler Show. We'll take some
of your calls coming up here if you'd like to

(13:08):

Yeah. I asked her how it went. She didn't seem
too excited about it, kind of Melanie.

Speaker 9 (16:23):
It was rushed, rushed, and one of the days that
I should have stayed in the sunshine. I drove to
the coast and it was really cold and miserable.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
You grew up in Oregon. Isn't the coast always cold
and miserable in Oregon? Isn't that the thing like that?
It's rocky cold and miserable.

Speaker 9 (16:42):
And I guess yes, But but it was ninety degrees Inland,
so I assumed it was gonna be like seventy five.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
All right, it's gonna blow you away. They have these
things called apps on your phone that have like the weather,

Is what you need? No giving me. She's giving me

(17:14):
a disgusted Look. I don't blame her, Okay, I'm just saying,
here's the Mallard riddle of the day. The Celtics earlier
this year they needed a killer instinct, so their coach
Joe Mizzoula made the entire team watch blank, watch blank.
That is the Mallard riddle of the day. What is

(17:34):
the answer? And Mallard prop guy says, the Prince of
Wales is the answer. Art Puffin going with the Donald
Trump and OJ trials on a split screen. Who else
we have? Rod said? The Wiley Coyote cartoon Stevie Meatballs
in the Sunshine State says he made them watch videos

(17:56):
of Joey Chestnut eating the hot dog doing something else
there eminem eight mile movie from Jay Dot in Utah
Late night Druccessor is how they make hot dogs? How
hot dogs are made? Who else do we have? Let's
see here? Made them a saw man says in Mississippi,
made them watch The Fox and the Hound. Who else

(18:18):
do we have? Page down? Alf the aliot opiner says
something involving in Orca. He says is the answer fur
dog Passion of the Christ guessed by ferg Dog. Who
else do we have? Page down? Jody the realtor says

(18:38):
his brother's cat doesn't pick games every day, but when
he does pay attention. He's picked the Dodgers over the
Rangers and they won big. He's twenty two and four now, Jody,
I want to do this bit, Jody with the dog.
You got to get your brother on board with this.
Maybe you even borrow the dog and I call it
a cat, Sorry Kitty, but get the pussy cat and

(19:00):
then we'll have Poppy versus the pussy cat. And I
think that'd be a great bit. Donkey Sausa said, forced
them to watch slap Shot. That is the answer. Kathy
in Madison, our lovely friend Kathy said, made them watch
Joy chestnut eat tofu not dogs as the answer page down.

(19:22):
Three men and a baby guests by King Rory Eddie.

of the day.

He had them watch the entire john Wick trilogy or
catalogs more than that.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, that is incorrect, Eddie. The Celtics needed a killer instinct,
so earlier this year their coach Joe Missoula made the
entire team watch video of killer whales. Killer whales, Eddie,
killer whales. It's a little out there. Let's say hello

Why is that just like a lot of weight that
you carried early on or something?

Speaker 10 (25:43):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (25:44):
I got big feet my shoes. I spent a lot
of time like walking or you know, kind of speed
walking whatever the treadmill, and so my toenails end up
like I've had a couple of tots like fall off whoa,
and which is fine. I mean it's well, it doesn't
feel the greatest, but then they grow back and then
they you know, it's like rinse wash and repeat.

Speaker 9 (26:05):
So that was an amazing fun fact that.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Oh that was not a fun.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Fun fact.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
There's nothing fun about that though, lorraina nothing fun at all.
But this is the fun fact where you're watching the
Battle of Ohio or I know our friend Dick was
watching Cincinnati redfan living the best life there the red
fan f around and find out Red fan learning that
when you run out on the field the Great American Ballpark,

(26:35):
they don't mess around. There are many videos making the
rounds from the Reds game showing a fan jumping out
onto the field in the ninth inning of a five
to three loss to the Guardians, and the guy ran
off the Cleveland center fielder Tyler Freeman. He then ran off.
He was eventually tased by authorities, but not before, not

(27:00):
before the guy did a backflip on the field and
then he got tased by security. And I do recommend
the video, but for our blind listeners, guy the Gabbroni's
running around there. He does a backflot and bam the cops.
His hat fell off and then the guy runs away
and the guy put that taser of death on him

(27:22):
and the guy fell down. He tasted. I'm gonna taste
don't taste me bro? What's that? Remember that? Don't taste
me me?

Speaker 5 (27:29):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Was that? Where was that? Philadelphia? Where was it? I
don't remember? Remember, guy? I remember guy in Philadelphia? Guy,
I thought it was in Philadelphia. They got a guy.

Speaker 6 (27:38):
Yeah there was a but the don't tast me bro
that was having a courtroom or.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
I was in the courtroom. Okay, I remember that. But anyway,
this guy he got tased. He got up, you know,
he got up and just walked off. It was a
brief taste and he walked off the field. And yeah,
so there you go. All right, yeah, and uh and
here we go. Here we go, Here we go, Here
we go, here we go.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
It's another Ben Mallard game.

Speaker 6 (28:02):
We've endored too many of these?

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Is it too much?

Speaker 10 (28:05):
Or not enough?

Speaker 2 (28:05):
All?

Speaker 1 (28:06):
R right? Ready, enough enough, let's get to the game.
Let's see here, says that is it? Ali in Vegas? Hello, Ali? Hello, Hello,
Hello to you.

Speaker 10 (28:16):
Ali.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
How's life in Vegas?

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Life is freaking rocket?

Speaker 1 (28:19):
It's Vegas, baby, Vegas baby. Alright, Well, I don't know
it's calling a sports radio show. I don't know how
rocket it is. But anyway, all right, well Ali, let's
play again. What do you do there? Do you do
you work? You got a gig? What do you got
going on?

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Actually? I bet on sports. I used to work for
picks and parlays and wager talk and I am retired.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Nice. Now do you actually win when you're you're betting
on your sports? Do you?

Speaker 5 (28:47):
Well?

Speaker 2 (28:47):
I am the plus money honey, So yes, I do?

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Okay, plus that's that's gambling wingo eddie plus money honey.
That's that's for the ladies that are good. Loreina would
be a plus money honey if she gambled, but she's
not into that. All right, Well, Ali, let's go, let's
get this party started here. Question number one the Cleveland Guardians.
That's a baseball team. Their bullpen is allowing a one
to ninety three batting average this season. It has been

(29:12):
forty years since a big league team's relief staff held
opponents below a two hundred batting average for the season.
Is that too much or not enough? I don't know
if I was ready for that question, but I'm gonna
say that.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
That is too much?

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Okay, too much? And the great thing about this bit
is all the answers are too much or not enough?
Is she right?

Speaker 3 (29:34):
No?

Speaker 1 (29:35):
That is wrong, not enough. The last team to do
that was the nineteen to sixty eight Detroit Tigers fifty
six years ago. Question number two. Last week, the Boston
Celtics became the eighth NBA franchise to have won at
least eight consecutive games in a single postseason Plus money, honey?

(29:58):
Is that too much or not enough?

Speaker 2 (30:01):
I don't think that's enough? No, I think ah shit, mall.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
You know it might not seem like it plus money honey,
but we're actually being broadcast right now, and unfortunately, as
much as we love the S word, we're not quite
a lot. And I like that you put the balls
after it, so that made it even better. What's your
final answer on question two though, plus money honey, I'm
gonna go.

Speaker 10 (30:30):
With it was it was too much?

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Too much?

Speaker 2 (30:35):
All right?

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Is she right? No? Dot dot com? That's right, hot dog.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Okay, So I'm going to the not plus money honey,
it's going to be my name.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Well, no, listen, you can still. It's game's not over.
You gotta get these last three questions right. Question number three,
Drew Holiday, that's a basketball player, just became the eleventh
player in NBA history today twenty five or more points,
ten or more rebounds, and seventy five plus percent field
goal shooting in an NBA Finals game? Is that too

(31:09):
much or not enough plus money, honey to stay alive?

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yes? Too much?

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Okay, let's find out. There you go. You got that
one right. See, you didn't get swept. He's the ninth
player to do it, and the only one to do
it with no turnover is Drew Holiday. Question number four,
we're playing too much not enough. We've got our friend Ali,
she's a professional sports gambler. Now the plus money, honey.
There are currently five teams in baseball with plus one

(31:38):
hundred or better run differential. Is that too much or
not enough?

Speaker 2 (31:45):
High jump?

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Okay, so five teams in baseball with a plus one
hundred or better run differential? Too much or not enough
to stay alive?

Speaker 5 (32:00):
Say, I'm gonna say not enough?

Speaker 1 (32:07):
All that? All right? Well you're a saucy woman, Ali,
I like you. You got to come to our mallard

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yeah all right. Kathy in Madison, longtime member of the
Mallard Milsion Madden Beautiful Madison, Wisconsins. She says she wants
helpful tips for older people who haven't dated in a
long time. So I guess she's looking to get it
back in the game. She wants to be in the game.

Speaker 9 (34:58):
Oh my gosh, I love old p love okay, because
a lot of people think they're down and out when
they get old, but it's just not the case. You
still have the same drive as you did. You're still
capable of dating and falling in love. I mean, you
just got to get back out there. Don't be afraid.
There's other people your age who also want to date,
So get rid of that preconceived notion that you're too old.

Speaker 11 (35:19):
You're not.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
No.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
I have heard, Lorena that you get to those retirement
homes and it's like, uh, listen, Sin City's going on
a lot of ro I don't know if it's romance,
temporary romance. Yeah, they're going for it.

Speaker 9 (35:34):
There's quagmires on every corner inside of those homes.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
And I have been told for boys, if you make
it long enough, you probably won't because men die before women.
But the old man in the retirement very popular. I
don't know that's sure or not, but I've heard that
from some of the older guys that have listened. Sho
ferg Dog says, how big of an age gap is
acceptable for dating. Should I just go by the half

(35:58):
your age minus seven in your rule? I've never heard
you just made that up, that's what.

Speaker 9 (36:09):
You Yes, okay, well let me just give you an example.
My parents were twenty years apart, so that's that's a
pretty big gap.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yeah, that's pretty large. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (36:20):
I think I think you know, whatever works for you
works for you.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Oh you got Don't you have to say that because
that's what you that's what you know.

Speaker 9 (36:28):
Be too close to being a minor, because it's just
that's gross to me.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Yeah, all right, let's see here. Oh, here's a here's
a great love question from JD and Boston. He works
out at the garden there. He says, what is your
opinion on AI? Are you scared of it? Do you
love it? Or a bit of both? And why? Very
good romance question.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (36:49):
Well, you know that AI dating show that Coop was
talking about right where they're getting AI robots involved. So
AI is definitely in the chat game right now, you
could date and fall in love with the robot.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
I think it's terrified. Absolutely. I'm upset because when I
would have been great, I would have gotten like diplomas
all over the place of AI. To cheat with. Oh
my god, I had we had to go to the
store and buy these things called cliff notes to cheat,
or I had to sit behind the smart kid in
school and rip them off.

Speaker 9 (37:17):
But yeah, it's brilliant, but I think it also might
be our demise one day. We'll see.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Well, well, find other ways to meet our demise. Let's
say a looad to Tyson in Saint Louis, who's on
the phones for Lorena, the Queen of hearts alow Tyson welcome.

Speaker 5 (37:31):
Oh there, miss Lona, mister Lee, your morning producer there
is looking for love? Any chance of viewing him? Are
you giving him a chance? And or anything you can
do to help him out?

Speaker 9 (37:43):
Well, I'm already his work wife, So.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
I think that's about Wait, what what are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (37:51):

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Whoa, this is devastady this.

Speaker 6 (37:55):
But he also farts on you, So I mean that's bs.

Speaker 1 (38:00):

do you have to work husbands? Is that what you have.

Speaker 9 (38:10):
Is my thing?

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Anyway?

Speaker 1 (38:12):
You think this is the lead? A lapper Jonas Knox,
pretending to be Tyson from.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
Saying I don't know, but I'm upset after this this segment.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Now, wow, we're having we have problems, have a station.
Get all right, Well, thank you, I'll hang up on you. Well,
here's an important question problem King Rory wants to know.

woman equivalent of eating a vegan hot dog? Is what?

(38:43):
That's what he said.

Speaker 9 (38:44):
I don't know toy on your woman the same as
eating a vegan hot dog.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
Well, it's a that's it. That's his question. I just read.
I'm just reading the question, all right. I was just
making all right, mad mad Jack wants to know, boy,
these guys are going the third rail, mom man. He
wants to know about different to add on items to
the bedroom, like whipped cream edible undies and what, yes,
