Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numbbir three, our three talking
bays ball we started out in New York. Thumbs up
or thumbs down? Should the Yankees be worried about Garrett
Cole as he got lit up by the Metropolitans in
a game on Tuesday? Also, why has Vladimir Guerrero changed

(00:23):
his tune about ending up with the Yankees? He had
said he would never play for the Yankees. No, not
so much. And what did you think of the Reds
pitcher Hunter Green puking on the mound after seven pitches?
He decided to have the barf bucket, but there was
no bucket. Get to that and more right now here

(00:45):
it is our number three is the thing you did
not want over the holidays, but the Yankees got that
it would be a lump of coal as the bronx
is burning. Welcome, in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere

(01:08):
in combination as we never shut the f up, we
never do coast, the coast, border, the border, and beyond
on the vast and uproariously powerful microphones of fsre emma
nating live from the nuggets. The nuggets of information. We're
broadcasting live from the Tirak dot com studios tyer raq

(01:29):

fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers. Yaphim in Chicago is listing right now.
He's had over ten thousand slices of that deep this
Chicago pizza. Tyraq dot com the Way tire buying shoes

(01:50):
be in our lead this hour from Baseball. I could
have talked about the Nationals and the Padres, but I
found this more compelling because neither of the Nationals or
the pot are a contender for the championship. But a
team does fancy themselves a contender. The New York Yankees,
and leaks are starting to pop up in that Yankee

(02:10):
team as they have had the injury bug bite them
of late. They got some players back. One of the
players they got back. Now that's what we're gonna talk about.
So if you didn't see the game last night, the
Mets and Yankees renewing the Subway series, and the Mets
bludgeoned Garrett Cole, the ace of the Yankees, the highest

(02:33):
paid pitcher in baseball history. Garrett Cole and the Mets
at four home runs as Garrett Cole was serving up
meat balls, and you get a home run, you get
a home run, you get a home run, you get
a home run. Four home runs in four innings in
the game Tuesday night, his first appearance since well he

(02:54):
came back. He did have one start against the Oils,
but this is a second start, first in the Subway series.
There at City Field, Cole ended up getting torched. He
gave up six runs, walked not one, not two, not three,
but four batters, one shy of tying his career high
and walks in an all around el crappo performance for

(03:14):
Garrett Cole. So let us discuss the question thumbs up
or thumbs down? Should the Yankees be worried? Should they
be concerned about Garrett Cole. So I'm gonna go first
on this. But I've got eye chart, quantum leap, and
trident like, trident like, and we will combine all of

(03:35):
these things together and we are going to make the Babaganosh.
We're gonna make the Baba gooche. Now, first of all,
to answer the question thumbs up thumbs down? Concerned worried
about Garret Cole? I have no skin in the game,
but I am going to go two thumbs up. I
got two thumbs up on this. Garrett Cole is the
Ace of Diamonds in terms of financial obligation to the

(04:00):
New York team that plays in the borough of the Bronx.
So he had in this game. He pitched like a joker.
And if you look at his overall body of work,
he's only made a couple of starts here and it's
not looking all that good.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Now.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
The Bronx, yes men, the toadies for the New York Yankees. Well,
that's just a one off. It's just a one off.
And you can't stop the Mets right now because of Grimace.
And you know, we know, because Grimace, they're amazing and
all that stuff. But even though he's in the as
of Diamonds, he pitched like a joker in this game,
right and all that stuff. He said, Well, as one off,
I would say, not so fast, my friend, because they

(04:38):
there are signs. I saw the sign this was historically bad.
You look at the control issues that Garrett Cole and
I was watching this game at the start. I ended
up I was watching the Mets broadcast, but they were
pointing out, and it was rather obvious whether you were
listening or not, or watching and paying attention, just with
half an eye, he was unable to finish his supper.

(05:01):
Unable to finish his supper. Garrett Cole had as many
strikeouts in that game last night as you and I
did in the in the game against the Mets. And
this is just the second outing in Garrett Cole's career
that he did not have any strikeouts. The only other
time it happened was before he joined the cheating a

(05:22):
Holes and when he went was with the Pirates in
twenty sixteen, before he became a reliable big league pitcher.
He had one other start in the Burg in Pittsburgh
where he didn't have a strikeout. And so if you
look at the eye chart, and you examine the eye chart,
it's pretty clear you don't need glasses. You can see
this without without glasses. It's unmistakable there are tell tale

(05:46):
signs of trouble up ahead. If you look at the
eye chart here and what are they all? Right, let's
check the boxes here. He's going to be thirty four
years old later this summer, before the playoffs come around,
which means he's passed his athletic prime. Your athletic prime
ends up thirty two. He's also had issues with being
able to succeed sands, the proper use of the sticky

(06:08):
icky that he likes to put on the balls. He
missed the first two and a half months of the
baseball season because of elbow nerve inflammation voided surgery. But
often when players avoid surgery, they end up having it
and it's a much more serious situation down the line.
And the other thing from that game last night was

(06:28):
the sporadic drop in velocity. Garrett Cole came out in
the first inning even though he did not have good location.
He was pitching in the high nineties ninety seven ninety
eight miles an hour in the first inning, and by
the third inning he was down to the low nineties. Now,
I will tell you that there are more than there's
more than one way to get a hitter out. You

(06:49):
probably know that from when you played Little league or
just watching baseball. There's more than one way to get
a pitcher or hit her out. As a pitcher, you
can be overpowering. You can have great movement on your
pitches and be overpowering, which Garrett Cole has been or
you can try to beguile hitters with finesse, but those
type of pitchers don't get paid a lot of money,

(07:10):
and those type of pitches don't last very long because
the establishment, the dorks that run baseball think the only
way to succeed is to have people throw ninety seven
ninety eight ninety nine miles an hour, and that's it.
And you can't throw a bunch of lollipop curveballs and
ephis pitches. And we went a couple of years without

(07:30):
a knuckleball pitcher. Now the Padres have a guy who's
a knuckleball pitcher who uses finesse to beguile batters, and
he's been really good, really good if you look at
his overall body work. But that's taboo. And Garrett Cole
in that game last night, he could never neither beguile
hitters or overpower them, and so problematic, couldn't close them out.
Reminded me of Kershaw. Kershaw could get two strikes on

(07:53):
batters quite often, but in the big games, unable to
get them out, finish them off. Now. Secondly, oh Cod,
we go to Toronto, baseball blows, so does the hockey.
I don't know how the football team in Toronto's doing.
I don't follow the CFL that closely, but Toronto, the
Bluege's are on the road, the road to nowhere. They're

(08:15):
on the highway to hell. But the trade deadline is
rapidly approaching. And a sidebar to the miserable Jays season
is what is going on with Vladimir Guerrero Junior. And
the burning issue here is why has Vladimir Guerrero Junior
changed his tune about ending up with the aforementioned Yankees. Now,

(08:39):
no trade has been consummated, but there is chatter that
the Yankees are interested in making a divisional trade with Toronto.
Whether the Blue Jays are interested, that's a different conversation.
So the Blue Jays. My only perspective on this for
Vladimir Guerrero is that the trade deadline is coming up.
He sees the writing on the wall. He knows this

(09:01):
is not going to turn around anytime soon in Toronto,
and the Blue Jays have broken him. That's it. He's
a broken man. Flatty is a broken man. He's no,
he's his bat broken. I don't hit a mamoth home
run the other night. But if you look at his
overall body of work. It's not that good. And so
I would say too much chlorine, too much chlorine. And

(09:23):
if you can't take the chlorine in Toronto, you got
to get out of the pool. So he wants to
get out of there. And they're drowning with that chlorine
on a nightly basis, and it's chlorine. I think they
put some bleach in there. I believe they put a
little bleach in there. But things are bleak. And so
Vladdie has undergone a quantum leap. He is team an idea.

(09:45):
I want to go back in the hot tub time
machine to twenty twenty two, twenty twenty two. A couple
of years back, Vladdie Guerrero said he would never play
in the Bronx, not even if he was d E
a D dead. Never. So now he's done a oneint eighty.
He did an interview recently. He says, I'm a worker,
I'm a professional. If traded to the Yankees, I go

(10:09):
out on the field to play. He didn't say play well,
he just said play okay. So he's going to be
a free agent after the twenty twenty five season, or
are going into the twenty twenty five season. I think
he's got a year and a half left until he's
a free agent. And he has been serving up gallons,
not of milk, gallons of vomit so far this season. Overall,

(10:34):
expectations and reality two separate things. So stay tuned the Yankees.
That's the kind of move the old Yankees would make.
The new Yankees would have to look at the spreadsheet
to see if that makes sense for them to make
that move. But the old Yankees would have made that
move no second thought, no blinking, and would have made
the trade. Now final thought, we go to Cincinnati, the

(10:56):
Reds and Pirates Hull home. Who cares?

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Right?

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Hum drum match up there? Well, not so fast on
this one.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
What happened?

Speaker 1 (11:05):
What do you think happened? More importantly, what do you
think of the Cincinnati I say ace, he's supposed to
be the ace. Whether he actually pitches like that all
the time, not the case. But the Reds pitcher Hunter
Green puking on the mound after seven pitches in the
first inning against pets Burg Pirates the Jensers. So my

(11:31):
opening thought is I loved it. I thought it was wonderful.
I kept watching it over and over again. It was beautiful.
It reminded me of some of the great moments in
sports of people puking. And there's been a lot of
baseball players over the years that have puked. In my
time in sports radio, the most famous puker is Donovan McNab.

(11:53):
Donovan McNabb, you might not know who that is because
he said old the eye played a long time ago.
He was a quarterback for the Eagles, and McNabb puked
in the Super Bowl. He had a reversal of fortune
in the Super Bowl, which to this day is still
the most famous puke of all time. This not the
most famous because it's just a random Tuesday night in
late June in the baseball season, but I thought it

(12:15):
was great. The last time I saw a pitcher vomit
on the mound and just sit right there in the
front of the vomit comet was Clayton Kershaw against the
Diamondbacks in the twenty twenty three playoff game at Dodger Stadium.
Now Hunter Green recovered he didn't leave the game after
he barfed. Then he had too much Skyline Chelley. Maybe

(12:35):
he went over and had lunch with Justin and Cincinnati
and justin put some poison in there or something. I
don't know. Anyway, Hunter, he did not succeed. He gave
up six runs in four innings, and he did take
the loss in that game. But the most famous puking
incident in baseball history, do you know what it is? No? Okay,

(12:56):
most famous puking incident. The legend is, and I don't
know if this is true, but it's been passed down.
This goes back over a generation, the nineteen ninety two
Seattle Mariners. It's triedent like it's trident, like Hunter Green
puking on the mound. Is it true? The most famous
story in Mariner lore that warms the cockles of Robbie

(13:20):
the Mariner fan happened way back in nineteen ninety two
when a young outfielder who hadn't established himself yet named
Jay Buner had the ability on Q to vomit, and
he even came up with the term. It was his superpower.
He called it blurping. Jay Buner called it blurping vomiting

(13:41):
on demand. He was ahead of his time. Now we
watch everything on demand. This radio show while it's available
in the live format, many people listen on the podcast
on demand, so on demand vomiting. Now this is a
random game. Mariners are I don't even know who they
were playing. But in the outfield, Jay Buner pukes. He's
in right field. He vomits. So Kevin Mitchell, there's an

(14:06):
outdated name. Kevin Mitchell was playing across the way in
left field. He saw Jay Buhner vomit. He then vomited.
So now we've got a chain reaction, not momentum, but
a chain reaction of cause and effect. So Mitchell saw
Buner puke, he pukes. So now you've got two Mariner

(14:28):
outfielders that are puking at the same time. And then
a young outfielder a few years into his big league
career named Ken Griffey Jr. Who would go on to
a Hall of Fame career. He ends up, as they
say at Disneyland, having a protein spill. All three Mariner
outfielders vomiting in the same inning, in the same half inning.

(14:49):
Greatest thing that ever happened to the Seattle Mariners. And
if only the Cincinnati Reds could have had the entire
outfield and infield puke in a show of solid daity,
a show of solidary to Hunter green Now that would
have made it even better. It is the Ban Maeler Show.
It is a newbe night, all right, for newbe Night
now later this hour we have too much or not

(15:11):
enough also the Queen of Hearts with Lorraina. So if
you want to send your questions in right now do that.
You don't have to be just a newbie for that.
But we want some new faces, some new voices used
to the hashtag Queen of Hearts. You can also call
for that. Later in the hour, Lorena gives love advice.
She'll if you want to know how to restart your refrigerator,
she'll tell you that whether you should eat chicken. I

(15:34):
asked Lorena a question, a lit bit about chicken. She
able to help me out on that. Very nice anyway.
Now we'll get to all that coming up here in
a little bit straight ahead though the malar riddle of
the day, and here it is, you can now have
a blank work as your caddy when you play golf
in North Carolina. You can now have a blank work

(15:55):
as your caddy for your next golf game in North Carolina.
That is the malor riddle of the day. The answer.
We'll get to it, and we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
NBA Draft is tonight. I know you're excited about that. Well,
payalffy malor Riddle of the day. We are hearing some
chatter here overnight that that Nix trade for Michael Bridges
is going to hand deliver og Andenobi to the seventy
six ers, that that's where he's gonna end up. And

(18:02):
then the the Sixers who cooled on Paul George allegedly
by George that they George will out to go somewhere else.
But we'll see if that's true or not. Always fun
the speculation game. Here's the riddle of the day. You
can now have a blank as your caddy during your

(18:22):
next round of golf in North Carolina. That is the
Mallard Riddle of the day. And what is the answer.
Mallard prop guy says a caddying with Poppy is the answer.
Inmates with ankle monitors from Eke and Roseville, Minnesota. Who
else do we have? Take a chimp as a caddy

(18:45):
from Art Puffin, that's his answer. Who else do we have?
A page down? A robot lawnmower from Late Night drug tester,
a Hooters girl guess by Fudgie in Boston, a KRGI
from ferg Dog. Now, Fergie, you're not supposed to send
photos up private family photos of you and your roommate there, Findley,

(19:10):
You're not supposed to do that, and that dog gets
treated better than weed man Hippie clam writes in says
a Ben Mahler show producer will work as your your caddie,
the fabulous Moolah from Donkey Sausage. Who else do we have?
Page Nan, You can now have a groundskeeper work as

(19:30):
your caddie from I forty Ian. That's his answer. A
heathen that orders his steak the Mallor way. The malorway
is the right way to eat steak. Alf And just
because the rest of the world's fed up, not everyone.
There are some people that are part of the fraternal
order of the well done butterfly cut, well done and

(19:54):
Kenny Albert, by the way, part of that Fraturner, the
great Kenny Albert play by play guy for hockey and
a bunch of other sports. Justin in Cincinnati, says some woman.
I think is what he meant? Who else? You have
a vintage video of the Seattle Mariners protein spill randomly?
All right, Eddie, do you have an answer to the
malord riddle of the day. You can now have a

(20:18):
blank work as a caddy for you during your next
round of golf in North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
I'm gonna go with an alligator.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
That would be fun. That would be fun. An alligator
would be great. It is not an alligator, though, Eddie,
that is incorrect. Correct answer is a lama.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Have a lama?

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Say, Tourism is booming in this part of North Carolina.
You can not only golf with a lama. A few
lamas have been trained on how to work its caddies.
How do you train a llama and to be a caddy?
I don't know, but they've figured it out. And you
can also go hiking with your own lama. And they

(21:03):
also have the alpacas as well, all that carry your gear,
your beer, whatever you need. They have the animals trained
for for weddings. They rent them out as wedding guests.
You can have them there as well. How soon before
the animal rights people just get upset and so you're
not treating the lamas properly.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
It's already happened, probably already has how how soon before
the lama bites someone and then they get sued and
that's the end of the lama.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
If you're interested, Eddie can go to the Sherwood Forest
Golf Club. How many Sherwood forests are? There's one here
in LA where they lake well, Lake Sherwood here in La.
That's where they filmed Robinhood right Lake Sherwood anyway, Brevard, Brevard,
North Carolina, probably butchering that.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
But there you go.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
So they get calls all the time. Now they're the
people behind the lama golf caddies and they say everyone
loves lamas every Is that true? Does everyone love the lama?
Is there any.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Anti I ever met a llama? So I can't?

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Is there an anti lama group?

Speaker 2 (22:07):
That I do believe?

Speaker 1 (22:08):
There are a lot a lot of lama lovers, ben
there are all right, Lorena, do you ever.

Speaker 6 (22:12):
Hear that one song?

Speaker 1 (22:14):

solemnly swear, solemnly swear that I will support and defend
the Ben Mallor Show.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
That I will support and defend the Ben Mallard.

Show against all enemies foreign and domestic, against all enemies
foreign and domestic. And then I will obey the orders,
and that I will be obey the order to peacefully fight.

Speaker 4 (24:29):

Hey, Johnny, I love you, but you can't say that word, Johnny.

Oh, let me shining. I'll go a little slower, all right, boy,
we don't completely Oh if we can't, I mean, I
don't know what we do here. You're not sworn in
curse during the oath? Oh? Yeah? I think what's the rule?

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Eddy?

Speaker 1 (25:00):
We can't continue at that point? I think before was
that the rule? Coop? If somebody curses, we got to
in the oath right there and I finish it.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
What did he say?

Speaker 4 (25:09):
Cool?

Speaker 1 (25:09):
What are even listening on a song? Call up and curse

And I don't think you mentioned this, Ben, but apparently
the Kansas City Chiefs not only your Super Bowl champions,
but the part of a Hallmark original movie, yes, called
Holiday Touchdown, a Chief's love story.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Let me know how it is. I know you love
love stories, they said, why you're a big.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Watcher of the Hallmark channel. But could this involve a
player and a I don't know, I have a fictitious
pop star.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
No, it's already on the trade say. It's about like
a diehard Chiefs fan, and it's not about Taylor's I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
To disappoint you. That is very disappointment.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
I know you're looking forward to that and you were
hoping that would be the be the thing, but it's not.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
It is not.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
But we do have no curse words, at least for now.
But let's let's have some fun. Here we go, a
little fun fact, fun fact, right, fun facts. And it's
good to know the iady that all these people actually
are listening. They're sending me messages. They're very proud of
what they here. Anyway, here's the fun fact here of
this hour, and I can blow you with the players

(27:40):
in the NBA this past year, the player that scored
the highest percentage of their total points from the foul line,
meaning that they were just gifted these points because they
didn't have to make a three point shot falling away
with a defender in the face. They just went to
the line. No one was guarding them. That would be
Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Buckets thirty one point seven percent of

(28:02):
his points for the Miami Heat from the foul line.
That was the tops in the NBA, barely ahead of
Joel and Bed of the Sixers twenty nine and a
half percent of Joel Embiad's points coming from the foul line.
Demarty Rosen was third on that big board. Dame Lithard
was number four, number four. So Jimmy Buckets leading the

(28:25):
pack right there, and that leads us, that leads us
right into this. Here we go, Here we go.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
It's another Ben Maller game.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
We've endored too many of these?

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Is it too much or not enough enough? Already? All right,
So we have a we have a guy that's been
on hole for a while, and then we have a
guy it just called up to play the game. So
do we go with the guy that's been on hole
for a while, who might or might not have popped
up on the air, or do we go with the
other guy on a new beginning? Decisions, decisions, decisions fills
my eyes, and we are going to go with Say

(28:58):

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Edward, Yes, yes, Hello, beIN Mather look at this.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Dreams are coming true for Edward.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
I haven't played this game, and I'm gonna give you
the honest truth.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Maybe like five years.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Oh man, five? What happened? You have five? Every five
years you call in?

Speaker 2 (29:20):
No, I'm always in days.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
But now on my night so here I am all right?

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Good, stay on that night shift. Yes, all right, I
was gonna kill some time. I Coop has not giving
me the board, so I can't play the game until
he gives me the war. But I'll just wait here
and then get the board. Oh, here's the board. All right,
very good, Now we can play the game. All right,
very good, last second, Coop. All right, Edward, good luck
to you. What kind of work do you do? By
the way, Edward?

Speaker 2 (29:45):
So I work for you Toyota supplier that the Toyota plants.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Oh look at that. So you get the toyotas and
the you guys put the parts in there and all that, Edward?

Speaker 5 (29:55):
You do, yes, where I work out, we build all
the parts.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Oh nice? All right, very cool? All right in America, USA, USA,
all right, let's play the game. Question number one, Sam
Ryanhard of the Panthers is only the fourth to fifty
goal scorer to score the game winning goal in Game
seven of that season Stanley Cup Final. Is that too
much or not enough?

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Edward?

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Too much?

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Too much? Is he right? That is correct? Good job
by you? Too much? He's only the second player to
do that, joining Yari Curry of the Notorious Oilers in
nineteen eighty seven. Okay. Question number two for Edward Tuesday
mark just the fifth time in Garrett Cole's career that
he failed to record a strikeout. Is that too much

(30:46):
or not enough?

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Not enough?

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Not enough? Is he right? No? Bad job by you, Edward.
I mentioned that just moments ago in the Mall monologue.
Too much. It's only the second time in his career
that's happened. Back with the twenty sixteen Pirates, Garacle also
did not have a strikeout. All right, you're one and one.
You're gonna get two more? Right, here we go, Edward
making those putting those toilet parts together. Question number three.

(31:14):
Frank Gore owns the forty nine Ers record for most
rushing yards in a season with sixteen hundred. Is that
too much or not enough?

Speaker 4 (31:27):
Not enough?

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Is he right? That is correct?

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Not enough?

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Gore ahead, one thousand six hundred and ninety five yards.
You got that one right, Two correct answers, one more
right answer, and you will win yourself a golden ticket.
Are you ready, Edward?

Speaker 2 (31:45):
I am ready.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
How long are you gonna be on the night shift
before you go back to the day show?

Speaker 2 (31:51):

Speaker 4 (31:51):
No, no, I'm permanent nights now.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Oh so I've been working there sixteen and a half years.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
That's a good run, yes, sir, Okay, give you a
watch or something like that. When you get to twenty
do you get a watch or a free car or something?

Speaker 4 (32:05):
Hold on, you're making me laughed on that one.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Okay, No, I get, I get.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
You know what I get A swift kick in the rear.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Oh, that's what I got here at Fox Sports Radio.
So we have that in coming. All right, here we
go a question for There are eight. In the movies,
they give you like a gold watch if you've been
with the company for a long time, But in real life,
apparently don't. There are eight teams in MLB history, eight
teams that have struck out seven hundred or more batters
this season. All right, seven or more, seven hundred or

(32:35):
more batters this season. Eight teams MLB in MLB that
have struck out seven hundred and more batters this season.
Is that too much or not enough?

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Too much?

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Okay, Edwards? Just too much? Is he right? That is correct?
And that is a winner? Too much? There are only
five teams with seven hundre plus strikeouts. That would be
the Twins, Cubs, Phillies, Padres, and the Red Sox. The
Red Sox, congratulations ever call the tickats I've got and

(33:11):
you are a winner. Welcome back to the permanent night shift,
and I'm sure we'll be hearing from you quite often.
There he goes our friend Edward making those Toyota parts
as he is the big winner and we need your questions. Also,

This is a great question. A lot of guys. It's
some people say it's contraband, it's it's illegal. Guys don't

Speaker 1 (35:42):
JT. The Wingman says, do you think it's okay to
have his and her toilets for a good relationship?

Speaker 6 (35:51):
Yes? I I think having two bathrooms is absolutely essential
in a house, to be honest with you, Yeah, because
and then also what like when Lee goes to the bathroom,
men absolutely explodes it.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
No one wants to go in after that.

Speaker 6 (36:02):
Two bathrooms is good for the relationship.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
You actually are part of the segregation of bathrooms, Lorraine.
I respond, before you worked here, we we did have
when I started, we had men's and women's bathrooms. And
then they're like, well, let's have bathrooms. You know, we
don't see gender. And then you came in here and
you're like, no, we need segregation of toilets. Say so
that's you your work there. Congratulations, very impressive. What else

(36:29):
do we have? Let's see page down here. Let's take
a call. How about j C, who is like outside
the building here where we broadcast from in southern California?
And is he one of the homeless? No, I don't think.
I don't know. Maybe he is. I don't I don't
think he is. JC. What's going on, JC, you're on with.

Speaker 4 (36:47):

Speaker 6 (36:51):

Speaker 2 (37:01):

Speaker 6 (37:02):

Speaker 1 (37:04):
What kind of questions you got today, Lorena?

Speaker 2 (37:08):
First of all, you've been a great addition to the show.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Thank you. No need to suck it. Don't need to
suck up Jason.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Okay, I have a dilemma.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
I'm a single party.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Is that the time.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
And I have a crush on someone? Okay? And when
do you know? Like I have a daughter, so I
don't know when at the right time?

Speaker 6 (37:39):
Right, So you don't want to introduce too soon or
you know how your daughter get expectations too early. You know,
I don't want you to put too much pressure on it.
You got to take your time and really figure it out.
I don't let my daughter meet anyone unless I've been
seeing them for a longiod of time, because once again,
I just I don't like the in and out of relationships.
So I'd feel it out, read it out, and see

(38:00):
how serious it is. And then once it's serious, maybe
you know, you can move into that meeting greet.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
How many months, LORRAINA, what are we looking at? It
really depends, It really depends.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
Well, I've seen her.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
I've seen her, but I've known her for like the
last ten years.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Oh so you can do it so.

Speaker 6 (38:17):
Super easy to like, maybe just go to the zoo
or something. No bowling, go bowling, or run into each other.
Oh my gosh, it's so funny running into you here.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
This is my daughter.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Maybe it's your golf. You could do that. I like
that too.

Speaker 6 (38:30):
We got lots of options.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Just take your time. Good luck, Jac, There he goes JC.
Let's go toge Doug is in Houston for Lorraine.

Speaker 4 (38:42):

Speaker 6 (38:43):
It's new and exciting life what's your love question.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
I'm a dedicated Cowboys fan, me too.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
You got socks, Mike indolences.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
The problem is it seems to turn the girls off,
and I just wondered, I need you know, what should
I do about this?

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Well, it's a big prob It is a big problem
Arene and women. Are you drive a giant oversized truck?

Speaker 2 (39:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (39:17):
Let me guess. Do you have a star logo on
the back of it? That Cowboys star logo in the
back of your truck?

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Are you trying to make fun of me? No?

Speaker 6 (39:24):
But if you do, that means you need to be
dating a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. Okay, that means you're not
dating in your range. You need to up your arms.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
I'm sure he would like to do that, Loraino. You
can't do that. Available do that? You wear shirts that
are too small for you.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
The thing is, I'm in Houston. Should I change to
the Texans?

Speaker 4 (39:43):
No?

Speaker 1 (39:44):
No, no, many wind the women women are really offended
by Texans fans. Come on, now, that's outrageous matter. We
