(01:41):
Our lead this hour from the Bay Area. Play the heads,
my man, play this. We are on twenty four hour
day Trade Watch. The epicenter of NFL gossip continues to
be in Northern California. The runner up right now waste
deep in the flea market of football. If you've not
(02:03):
been followed, we talked about this over the last couple
of days. Here it continues, the drum beat getting even
louder for the disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Ayuk, who is
looking to exit stage left. Would like to say bye
bye to the forty nine ers. There's a study stream
(02:23):
of breathless reporting about the Niners being engaged in trade talks.
The latest noise involves the Pittsburgh Steelers. There's also talk
of a mystery team.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
The mystery of it all that also has been mentioned.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
This comes after we were originally told that the framework
was in place for trades with Cleveland and New England.
But alas that didn't last very long because the Patriots
said no Moss and they're done.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Not a lot good bye.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, they bailed out on Tuesday, night, So there's a
lot to unpack. Let us discuss the question. We have
had non stop trade chatter for over forty eight hours
regarding Brandon Ayuk of the forty nine Ers going outbound.
What does all of this signal to you? So I've
(03:24):
got Food Network, cosmic accident, and Albert Einstein, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to run amok, is what we're going to do.
So a things are zipping along. Zippity dude, zippity day right,
they're zipping along here. Those initial weeks were from Brandon
(03:47):
Auk's camp that got the ball rolling. But now the
latest information that's out there after a thorough minutes long
mall of investigation the forty nine ers front office led
by John Lynch, they now gone over to the Food
Network from farm to fork and they're channeling the long
ago a TV chef Emerald Lagassi and they're saying, bam.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Right, let's kick it up a notch.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
He wants out, the player wants out, and he would
prefer to go to the Steelers. And Mike Tomlin, however,
said to be open minded if the money's the same
going somewhere else. So the Niners brass trying to feign scarcity,
that's what you do. And they're trying to create a
Benning war, an artificial Benning war for the player. And
(04:33):
now the Patriots are out.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Now a little.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Birdie who likes the chirp tells me that the reason
the Patriots are out is because Brandon Ayuk said, I
ain't playing there. I don't want to play for the Patriots.
They're the Patsy's again, Why would I want to play there?
Bill Belichick ain't walking through that door. He's walking through
the door of his younger girlfriend. That's where he's walking through.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
So the Patriots were rejected.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
And so was that rejection straight up or was that
always a bogus pursuit because they knew the player didn't
want to play in New England. Either way, if you
believe what we're hearing is not happening. And Robert Kraft
is likely smiling from ear to ear. See, I did
offer him thirty million dollars a year or to be
one of the top five wide receivers. He didn't want
(05:22):
to play for us. That's his fault, not my problem.
So if something breaks overnight, we'll have it for is
stay tuned. Developing not so hot right now dot dot
dot now Page two, continuing the chain of thought around
the Niners. During a training camp interview, running back Christian McCaffery,
(05:43):
he's the franchise. He referred to forty nine or wide
receiver Brandon IUC as a quote former teammate, and then
quickly tried to correct that. Now this has led to debate.
You might have seen this, maybe you didn't see it,
but it happened during a state sponsored NFL media interview,
(06:04):
McCaffrey referring to his forty nine or wide receiver pal
Brandon IOK is a former teammate.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
We actually have the audit, just to prove I'm not
making this up. Take a listen.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
This is how it sounded on the state sponsored NFL
media feed.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Situation with Brandon just as a teammate, with his not
knowing whether he's going to be here or not, the
ramped up, you know, conversation reports about.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
A possible trade. How do you guys deal with that
in house?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
No, for me, I don't deal with it. You know,
it's that's not part of my job. It's not part
of my position. I think obviously as a as a
former teammate or teammate of his in general, you have I.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Don't care about the rest of it, all right, that
was all we needed here.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Oh he said it former teammate.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Now the debate is is this an honest mistake or
is this something more?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
So I have it on my big board.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
As a cosmic accident, a combination of a slip of
the tongue mixed in with some reality. If you will,
let me explain. So, McCaffrey is a franchise player. He's
inside the bubble of trust. He's the straw that has
stirred the drink the last couple of years in San Francisco,
which means he is privy to classified information. Classified information. Now,
(07:23):
typically these trades are done days before they end up
reaching the public theater, and so if you're in the
inner circle, if you're part of the inside group, you
get the scoopage. So it's a strong indicator that the
front office is taking those last, best and final offers
(07:48):
before announcing a trade, and the Patriots bailing out of
this would indicate that there is something there to that
as well, that they the forty nine ers informed the
Patriot it's I doesn't want to play there, all right. Now,
last word, here we go to Baltimore, we pivot away
from the Niners, and we go to the Ravens, where
their two time MVP Lamar Jackson informed the media that
(08:13):
he became a lartass, he got fat, and now he's
back in shape. He has said he realized this in
the twenty twenty two season, that he was a big
tub of goo and he has gotten himself into peak
physical condition. Can you explain why and how Lamar Jackson
(08:33):
got fat? So I didn't even think it was fat
at all at the start. But it's simple malar math, right,
using the template by the great Albert Einstein, E equals
mc squared. In this arithmetic, you've got C equals LJ rounded. Okay,
C equals LJ rounded. That would be cash equals Lamar
(08:56):
Jackson chubby.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
He got two sixty million, one hundred and eighty five
million gatyn eighty five million guaranteed. So that's what's known
as a money hangover. His belly stuffed with cash, all
kinds of cash. So it is hard to be hungry
when you're already full. Right, when your belly's full, of cash,
to be hard, to be hungry. It is He's the
(09:22):
player that is the face of Baltimore football, for better
or worse.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
The dead poet society.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
And we have heard that the Ravens have bent over
backward to accommodate Lamar Jackson, from the time they practice
to just about everything to accommodate his wants and needs.
And when you get to that level, it's just him.
You know, I'm gonna compare. I have a friends who
are like cops, right, and it's like being a cop.
(09:48):
You have to the hardest part physically is to pass
the fitness exam at the police academy to become a cop. However,
most law enforcement agencies do not require officers to maintain
their fitness levels. Once you actually pass it, originally, you
can let yourself go. Now, the NFL supposedly has fitness
(10:09):
requirements every year. You have to you have to pass
certain tests.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
But yeah, I don't know about that. You know, if
you're Lamar Jackson, look the other way. He'll get in shape. Eventually,
He'll get in shape at one point or another.

Sean the Hood Guy has complained ten thousand times I
talked about his team, the Heelers, and he's gonna add
another complaint on there and crying. Craig's crying every time
these Seahawks take the field. Tire rack dot Com The
(12:06):
Way Tire Buying Show be and our lead this hour
from the Black and Yellow, Black and yellow, black and yellow, yellow,
Western Pennsylvania. I love these quarterback stories. I'm a sucker form,
I admit it.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
To me. The most interesting stories in the NFL this.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Exhibition season are the Raiders because they don't have a quarterback,
the Steelers because they don't have a quarterback, the Denver
Broncos they don't have a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
These are the stories that it's like a moth to
a flame.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
And we're gonna start in Western Pennsylvania here because if
you check your calendar app right now, this is depth
Chart Week. I very exciting, very exciting with practice games
kicking off from c to Shining Sea. Interesting wrinkle out
of Pittsburg, PA.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
The Steelers. Do you see this? You did not? Okay? Good?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The Steelers have placed Russell Wilson at the very top
of the totem pole, as he on the depth chart
is the starting quarterback over the guy from Chicago, Justin Fields.
Now it is the initial depth chart, but it shows
you how the practice has went. It's an indicator of
(13:22):
how things are going now. Despite all of the hype
around Justin Field's play, he is the backup quarterback Mike
Tomlin sticking with mister annamited as the starter. So let
us discuss the question Russell Wilson being listed as QB
one on the Steelers depth chart. How should Justin Fields
(13:45):
feel about this new development? So I've got pedestal iPhone
and pancakes, and we'll combine all of these things together
and we are going to cook up and all you
can eat buffet.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Will you actually eat?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Unlike Eddie and Lorena who did not eat the proper
amount of food?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
So num burwa.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
The word the word I have for Justin Fields on
being QB two rather than QB one.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
How should you feel about it? Is deflated? He should
feel deflated.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
The media continues to pump the tires on Justin Fields.
It happened in Chicago. Remember he won the offseason MVP Award.
One of the great MVP seasons I've ever seen for
a quarterback so good generational talent in off season practices
for the Chicago Bears. And yet again the media dumb
(14:44):
dumbs are pumping up, filling the air with balloon for
Justin Fields. He was given though in all fairness a
gigantic headstart. Russell Wilson has missed most if not all,
of the first two weeks where they half injury that
has been barking. Is it true that that cleared the
(15:07):
runway for Justin Fields to practice with the starters for
his Steeler career.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
To take off? Yes? Did he take advantage of that?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Justin Fields was put on a pedestal and he was
spinning round and round and round and round on the pedestal.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
And how is that working out now?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Based on the evidence here, despite all of that propaganda
from football media, Justin Fields is still riding the caboose
behind the locomotive with Russell Wilson true in the front,
in the front of the locomotive on the depth shot.
When you consider that Russell Wilson is older, he has
(15:49):
stunk for multiple seasons and oh, by the way, has
an injury concern, this is alarming. It is a low
arming for the Justin Fields Marching and Chowder Society that
even with all of those roadblocks for Russell Wilson and
(16:09):
all of the advantages to Justin Fields, still Mike Tomlin
has Wilson as QB one and don't tell me.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Well, let's just tell the Steelers operate. If Justin Fields
was pointing.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
At the sky point of the heavens as a generational
can't miss quarterback and not missing throws at all, that
he was out there and it was an oil painting,
a masterpiece every day, he would have been QB one.
Don't fool yourself.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Don't be an idiot. That's the way it works.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Now, page two, we go now to the Nard Auxnard.
That's where the Dallas football team is embedded in southern California.
The Cowboys have placed wide receivers C. D. Lamb on
the reserve. Did not report to work list. Say what,
(17:00):
he hasn't shown enough to work. He continues to sit
out a training camp brew haha with Jerry Jones trying
to get a new long term contract.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
We know about that.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
So how do you classify CD Lamb being placed on
the Dallas Cowboys reserve list? So it's using the iPhone.
You know that predictive AI text thing where it predicts
what the next word.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Is going to be. Yeah, that's essentially what this is.
It's procedural.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
The Cowboys are following the manual.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
The regulations for the NFL.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
It creates roster space out of thin air, and everyone's
got a crunch. You shouldn't have a crunch yet because
you haven't gotten rid of anybody. At least you don't
have to get rid of anybody yet, but because of
the injury situation. But what it also does is it
tells us it's a dead dar I. It tells us
that this CD Lamb standoff is going to linger. It's
(18:01):
gonna laker, all right, there's nothing on the horizon. I'm
not gonna wake up in the afternoon when I wake
up and there'll be some announcement that Ceedee Lamb's agreed
to a new four year contract with eighty five million
guaranteed or anything like that. There's nothing on the horizon
in terms of a mega deal. Otherwise you wouldn't bother
doing this. Jerry Jones continues to stonewall his quarterback Dakota Prescott,
(18:27):
his wide receiver Ceedee Lamb and his defensive star Michaeh.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Parsons.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
None of them have gotten mega mega mega million dollar deals.
Haven't gotten them. How long is this gonna last? Is
Jerry gonna came in before the start of the regular season.
Are we going to get that last minute just before
the Cowboy opener deal where Ceedee Lamb gets paid? Is
it gonna happen? I'll believe it when Jerry doesn't give
the money. He shouldn't pay these guys because they don't
(18:54):
deserve the money based on their playoff performance.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Oh, you're just being a shock jock. You're a boom.
They deserve the money.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Okay, Yeah, how about you go out there and don't
puke all over the field against the Cheeseheads.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Now we pivot to Seattle, where crying Craig is crying
somewhere off in the corner.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
I saw this quote.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I wanted to spend a couple minutes with you on it.
The Seahawks have a GM named John Schneider who successfully
kicked Pete Carroll out of Seattle and kept his job.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
So John Schneider revealed that he wanted to interview the
Ravens defensive cordator Mike McDonald, as in Mike McDonald had
a farm eiio. He wanted to interview Mike McDonald for
the head coaching job in Seattle. So much, how much
you ask? So much that he prayed at Mass for
(19:43):
Baltimore to lose the Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game. Schneider,
behind a paywall on the Old Gray.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Lady said this is heathen s as in ship swimming
through the waters.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
He said, it is heathen s word. So that's I
found that interesting.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
And now here's the thing on this, right, the Seahawks
would have needed due to the NFL rules, they would
have needed to wait until after the Super Bowl to
conduct the in person interview had the Ravens beaten the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
But what do you make.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Of the Seahawks gm John Schneider saying that he prayed
for the Ravens to lose so he could interview Mike McDonald.
So it's obviously blasphemy.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
How dare you?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
It's also not supposed to work, right, you know, that's
like reverse You can't you're supposed to do that.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
But this whole story is a pancake. It's a bunch
of pancakes. It's fluffy pancakes.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
It's fluff.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
It is optimism season in the NFL. The Seahawks hired
a nobody, a zero as their head coach. Nobody had
heard of this guy, disciple of John Harbaugh.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Part of the Ravens' success.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
The Ravens have had many great defensive teams before Mike McDonald,
and they'll have good defensive teams after Mike McDonald because
they have good defensive players.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
It's amazing how that works. But this is just fluff, right, You're.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Trying to build up the myth, the legend of a nameless,
faceless coach, part of the flotsam and jetsam of coaching
and the Seahawks right now. And I know No Strudinis
is not gonna like this, But the Seahawks are in
the middle of the bell curve.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
They're not at the very bottom. They're not the worst
team that's Carolina. They're not at the very bottom. However,
they're They're right in the middle. They're not at the top.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
It's a lot of standard issue players on that roster
stuck in the middle. And Gino Smith nothing special, just
a placeholder until they find there forever quarterback and then
he'll go somewhere else down the highway of football. But
this hole over the top thing, and he went to
mass to pray that the Ravens lost. Yet one thing
(21:59):
I've learned over my time doing this job. When Lamar
Jackson is starting a playoff game, you don't have to
pray for him to lose, because more times than not,
he's going to be the reason they lose because he
always sits in the cockpit of the vomit comet in
playoff games. And that is a fact.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
This is one big Ben gets grail Brown said.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Coach Kevin Stefanski announced that the start of training camp
that he would continue to call plays on offense despite
the team hiring Ken Dorsey as the offensive coordinator. Ben,
do you think that's the right move for the Browns? Well,
it is fine with it, he said.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Well, he said that, but it's the right move because
Kevin Stefanski.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Does not trust Ken Dorsey.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
If he thought Ken Dorsey was an exceptional offensive mind,
he would allow him to call the plays. He doesn't
trust him. He's not in the bubble of trust. That's
why that move who was being made next?
Speaker 7 (23:02):
Since July third, the Arizona Diamondbacks have the best record
in baseball at twenty and eight. They are now tie
the top with the wild card standings. Ben, what chances
to give Arizona and getting back to the World Series, Well.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
They had the same chances that the odds of lightning
hitting the same place twice. Now, lightning does occasionally hit
the same place twice, but that was such a fluky
run last year by the Doma Backs. I'll give them
their due. They have played well O eight the last
month or so, but it's a lot different. It's gonna
be a lot different for them in the playoffs this year.
I'm not buying it. They're not getting the World Series
(23:32):
Dodgers of Phillies in the World Series next so.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Amid questions about several Olympic Chinese swimmers that previously failed
drug tests still being allowed to compete, Michael Phelps said
that he supported a one and done policy that would
enforce a lifetime ban against athletes a test positive for
a foreign substance.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Ben, do you think this would ever happen?
Speaker 8 (23:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Because there'll be lawsuits and they'll say, well, they'll question
the testing process or process. How do you diagnose who's
legitimately cheating and who's not cheating? If I'm not mistaken,
I read these tabloids in London. There's like actual criminals
that are competing in the Olympics. So if they can't
even keep the criminal element out of the Olympics, how
are they going to ban anyone from the Olympic Games?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
There?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
It is mallard of the third degree? How did we know.
Speaker 9 (24:18):

my board gets reset here eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox. The question though, the first question here is
from Big Lou.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
You know who that is? Big Lou. Hi, Big Lou,
great guy, Yes, big fan of the show.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
He makes sure I always got chicken strips in my belly,
all right.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
He says, how long into dating a person should you
take a trip with them, during the courting period, before
the official relationship or when you are officially locked down
to that person.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
I did us on my sarcastic answers the other day.
I guess a few weeks ago with Brian No and
I said to go as soon as possible, like, and
I wasn't completely against that idea, to be honest with you.
I think it's a great idea to get to go
an adventure and see how your person is traveling with you.
But maybe wait a few months, make sure it's worth
the splurge if you actually want to do something like that.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Oh, so you're saying, Big Lou spending the money on that. Rather,
if you.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Want to splurge and you know, show them that you're
here to treat them to the world's finest do that.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Oh about paying? Each person pays their own way. Havenout
that I've.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
Done that, and I've paid my way for my guy too.
So it all depends on your relationship. Yeah, I didn't
know you were.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
I didn't know you were sugar mom.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
I'm a sugar mama.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Bet I had no idea.
Speaker 8 (26:44):
What can I say? I like homeless men.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Okay, so do I they call my show? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (26:48):
They do all the time, don't they? And they show
up to our appearances as well. It's they're big fans.
Stu says Lorena. Is online dating your online dating sites
a scam?
Speaker 8 (27:03):
I personally think they are.
Speaker 10 (27:04):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
I do know a couple of people who have gotten
in actual relationships from there, but I feel like most
of the time it's hookup sites. So if you're just
looking for a quick connection and a quick layup, then
you're probably good to go. But if you're actually looking
for a real connection, I always suggest going out and
meeting someone in person, because the actual connection that you
make has to be face to face.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Art Puffin says if you ever been catfish. Oh, okay,
that it happens.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
I've met most of the men I've ever talked to you, Yes, most,
but not all. Most but not all.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I got you, Eleen writes. Since she says, Loraina, why
is your name spelled that way?
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Great question?
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Okay, so funny story. My mom is actually the Hispanic
in my family, and she yes, and she wanted to
name me Sarah. My dad is the whitest man you've
ever seen.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
He's so white.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
He's usually red a lot leg yep and all right,
and he uh uh, he's the one who want to
name me Lorena because he's had four boys before me,
and I'm his first daughter, so he wanted to name
me the queen.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Wow. Yeah. And you have four older brothers.
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Four older brothers, yes, to the age of like forty seven.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Okay, and are you the youngest? Okay, Lorenda.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Do you know there's a place down the street called
Lorena's spelled the same.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Way Lorena the Spa. Yes, I have, I know about it.
I haven't been there. I was wondering if they'd give
me a discount.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
They got to your shirt or something.
Speaker 11 (28:37):
They got to give me some nice big blue sign they.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
Have that Dave's Hot Chicken, and is it bathroom Robbins?
What is it Coldstone? It's cold Stone. He's also in there.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
He's naming all of the stores, not just ferg Dog right,
since says if a truck driver got a tattoo of you,
Lorena on his rear end, would you be flattered or disgusted?
Speaker 8 (29:01):
It depends on how good it is? Really Yay, I
mean I might be flattered for a second, but don't
ask me to sign it.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
No autographs, no autograph, no signing autographs. Let's take a
call for the Queen of farts. Charlie is in San Diego.
Hello Charlie. Welcome then, brother, how you doing? Welcome? You
say hello to Lorena?
Speaker 10 (29:25):
Lorena?
Speaker 4 (29:26):
I love you?
Speaker 8 (29:27):
Was up, Charlie?
Speaker 10 (29:29):
Hey, I met a. I have a crush on a
young lady and I want to know should I invite
her to the neighborhood tavern or the fancy Foo Foo
Tequila join downtown Ooh?
Speaker 8 (29:43):
You know, I would start her with the tavern, especially
if you go there often and there's a lot of
people that you know, and see how she vibes with
your group of people. And then if it does go, well,
you can take her to the fanci or tequila place
and do like a tequila flight, you know, let the
tequila demons out after you get to know her.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
That's great advice because if you start out at the
very top, she's going to expect that all the time.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
So you don't want to start out like that.
Speaker 8 (30:08):
Let's take Lee for example, right if he introduced you
to all of his homeless friends first, you'd be like,
I don't know how I feel about you, Okay. Always
go with the lowest first and upgrade later.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I guess all right, Thank you, Charlie.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
I appreciate that. There goes.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Let's say hello to Nick in Missoula, Montana. Who's next
for the Queen of Hearts?
Speaker 9 (30:34):
Lorena? I need some serious advice here.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
What's going on, boo?
Speaker 9 (30:38):
I've been to this girl almost two years now, but
I feel like I'm feeling like either she's going to
break up with me for the last two months or
I'm at the point now where I'm just kind of quick.
What should I do?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Well?
Speaker 8 (30:53):
I always suggest starting out with a really deep conversation.
What do you really really want? Are you in it
to win it? Or are you okay with letting it
go and dying. That's where you got to start. Do
you love her? And are you willing to fight for it?
If you are put on your shield and your sport
and you get down on your knee and you say,
I'm ready to fight for this. If that's really what
you want to show, good.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Luck, good luck, good luck. You'll get it done. You'll
get it done.

(01:41):
Our lead this hour from the Bay Area. Play the heads,
my man, play this. We are on twenty four hour
day Trade Watch. The epicenter of NFL gossip continues to
be in Northern California. The runner up right now waste
deep in the flea market of football. If you've not
(02:03):
been followed, we talked about this over the last couple
of days. Here it continues, the drum beat getting even
louder for the disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Ayuk, who is
looking to exit stage left. Would like to say bye
bye to the forty nine ers. There's a study stream
(02:23):
of breathless reporting about the Niners being engaged in trade talks.
The latest noise involves the Pittsburgh Steelers. There's also talk
of a mystery team.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
The mystery of it all that also has been mentioned.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
This comes after we were originally told that the framework
was in place for trades with Cleveland and New England.
But alas that didn't last very long because the Patriots
said no Moss and they're done.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Not a lot good bye.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, they bailed out on Tuesday, night, So there's a
lot to unpack. Let us discuss the question. We have
had non stop trade chatter for over forty eight hours
regarding Brandon Ayuk of the forty nine Ers going outbound.
What does all of this signal to you? So I've
(03:24):
got Food Network, cosmic accident, and Albert Einstein, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to run amok, is what we're going to do.
So a things are zipping along. Zippity dude, zippity day right,
they're zipping along here. Those initial weeks were from Brandon
(03:47):
Auk's camp that got the ball rolling. But now the
latest information that's out there after a thorough minutes long
mall of investigation the forty nine ers front office led
by John Lynch, they now gone over to the Food
Network from farm to fork and they're channeling the long
ago a TV chef Emerald Lagassi and they're saying, bam.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Right, let's kick it up a notch.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
He wants out, the player wants out, and he would
prefer to go to the Steelers. And Mike Tomlin, however,
said to be open minded if the money's the same
going somewhere else. So the Niners brass trying to feign scarcity,
that's what you do. And they're trying to create a
Benning war, an artificial Benning war for the player. And
(04:33):
now the Patriots are out.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Now a little.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Birdie who likes the chirp tells me that the reason
the Patriots are out is because Brandon Ayuk said, I
ain't playing there. I don't want to play for the Patriots.
They're the Patsy's again, Why would I want to play there?
Bill Belichick ain't walking through that door. He's walking through
the door of his younger girlfriend. That's where he's walking through.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
So the Patriots were rejected.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
And so was that rejection straight up or was that
always a bogus pursuit because they knew the player didn't
want to play in New England. Either way, if you
believe what we're hearing is not happening. And Robert Kraft
is likely smiling from ear to ear. See, I did
offer him thirty million dollars a year or to be
one of the top five wide receivers. He didn't want
(05:22):
to play for us. That's his fault, not my problem.
So if something breaks overnight, we'll have it for is
stay tuned. Developing not so hot right now dot dot
dot now Page two, continuing the chain of thought around
the Niners. During a training camp interview, running back Christian McCaffery,
(05:43):
he's the franchise. He referred to forty nine or wide
receiver Brandon IUC as a quote former teammate, and then
quickly tried to correct that. Now this has led to debate.
You might have seen this, maybe you didn't see it,
but it happened during a state sponsored NFL media interview,
(06:04):
McCaffrey referring to his forty nine or wide receiver pal
Brandon IOK is a former teammate.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
We actually have the audit, just to prove I'm not
making this up. Take a listen.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
This is how it sounded on the state sponsored NFL
media feed.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Situation with Brandon just as a teammate, with his not
knowing whether he's going to be here or not, the
ramped up, you know, conversation reports about.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
A possible trade. How do you guys deal with that
in house?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
No, for me, I don't deal with it. You know,
it's that's not part of my job. It's not part
of my position. I think obviously as a as a
former teammate or teammate of his in general, you have I.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Don't care about the rest of it, all right, that
was all we needed here.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Oh he said it former teammate.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Now the debate is is this an honest mistake or
is this something more?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
So I have it on my big board.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
As a cosmic accident, a combination of a slip of
the tongue mixed in with some reality. If you will,
let me explain. So, McCaffrey is a franchise player. He's
inside the bubble of trust. He's the straw that has
stirred the drink the last couple of years in San Francisco,
which means he is privy to classified information. Classified information. Now,
(07:23):
typically these trades are done days before they end up
reaching the public theater, and so if you're in the
inner circle, if you're part of the inside group, you
get the scoopage. So it's a strong indicator that the
front office is taking those last, best and final offers
(07:48):
before announcing a trade, and the Patriots bailing out of
this would indicate that there is something there to that
as well, that they the forty nine ers informed the
Patriot it's I doesn't want to play there, all right. Now,
last word, here we go to Baltimore, we pivot away
from the Niners, and we go to the Ravens, where
their two time MVP Lamar Jackson informed the media that
(08:13):
he became a lartass, he got fat, and now he's
back in shape. He has said he realized this in
the twenty twenty two season, that he was a big
tub of goo and he has gotten himself into peak
physical condition. Can you explain why and how Lamar Jackson
(08:33):
got fat? So I didn't even think it was fat
at all at the start. But it's simple malar math, right,
using the template by the great Albert Einstein, E equals
mc squared. In this arithmetic, you've got C equals LJ rounded. Okay,
C equals LJ rounded. That would be cash equals Lamar
(08:56):
Jackson chubby.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
He got two sixty million, one hundred and eighty five
million gatyn eighty five million guaranteed. So that's what's known
as a money hangover. His belly stuffed with cash, all
kinds of cash. So it is hard to be hungry
when you're already full. Right, when your belly's full, of cash,
to be hard, to be hungry. It is He's the
(09:22):
player that is the face of Baltimore football, for better
or worse.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
The dead poet society.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
And we have heard that the Ravens have bent over
backward to accommodate Lamar Jackson, from the time they practice
to just about everything to accommodate his wants and needs.
And when you get to that level, it's just him.
You know, I'm gonna compare. I have a friends who
are like cops, right, and it's like being a cop.
(09:48):
You have to the hardest part physically is to pass
the fitness exam at the police academy to become a cop. However,
most law enforcement agencies do not require officers to maintain
their fitness levels. Once you actually pass it, originally, you
can let yourself go. Now, the NFL supposedly has fitness
(10:09):
requirements every year. You have to you have to pass
certain tests.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
But yeah, I don't know about that. You know, if
you're Lamar Jackson, look the other way. He'll get in shape. Eventually,
He'll get in shape at one point or another.

(12:06):
Way Tire Buying Show be and our lead this hour
from the Black and Yellow, Black and yellow, black and yellow, yellow,
Western Pennsylvania. I love these quarterback stories. I'm a sucker form,
I admit it.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
To me. The most interesting stories in the NFL this.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Exhibition season are the Raiders because they don't have a quarterback,
the Steelers because they don't have a quarterback, the Denver
Broncos they don't have a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
These are the stories that it's like a moth to
a flame.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
And we're gonna start in Western Pennsylvania here because if
you check your calendar app right now, this is depth
Chart Week. I very exciting, very exciting with practice games
kicking off from c to Shining Sea. Interesting wrinkle out
of Pittsburg, PA.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
The Steelers. Do you see this? You did not? Okay? Good?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The Steelers have placed Russell Wilson at the very top
of the totem pole, as he on the depth chart
is the starting quarterback over the guy from Chicago, Justin Fields.
Now it is the initial depth chart, but it shows
you how the practice has went. It's an indicator of
(13:22):
how things are going now. Despite all of the hype
around Justin Field's play, he is the backup quarterback Mike
Tomlin sticking with mister annamited as the starter. So let
us discuss the question Russell Wilson being listed as QB
one on the Steelers depth chart. How should Justin Fields
(13:45):
feel about this new development? So I've got pedestal iPhone
and pancakes, and we'll combine all of these things together
and we are going to cook up and all you
can eat buffet.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Will you actually eat?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Unlike Eddie and Lorena who did not eat the proper
amount of food?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
So num burwa.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
The word the word I have for Justin Fields on
being QB two rather than QB one.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
How should you feel about it? Is deflated? He should
feel deflated.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
The media continues to pump the tires on Justin Fields.
It happened in Chicago. Remember he won the offseason MVP Award.
One of the great MVP seasons I've ever seen for
a quarterback so good generational talent in off season practices
for the Chicago Bears. And yet again the media dumb
(14:44):
dumbs are pumping up, filling the air with balloon for
Justin Fields. He was given though in all fairness a
gigantic headstart. Russell Wilson has missed most if not all,
of the first two weeks where they half injury that
has been barking. Is it true that that cleared the
(15:07):
runway for Justin Fields to practice with the starters for
his Steeler career.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
To take off? Yes? Did he take advantage of that?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Justin Fields was put on a pedestal and he was
spinning round and round and round and round on the pedestal.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
And how is that working out now?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Based on the evidence here, despite all of that propaganda
from football media, Justin Fields is still riding the caboose
behind the locomotive with Russell Wilson true in the front,
in the front of the locomotive on the depth shot.
When you consider that Russell Wilson is older, he has
(15:49):
stunk for multiple seasons and oh, by the way, has
an injury concern, this is alarming. It is a low
arming for the Justin Fields Marching and Chowder Society that
even with all of those roadblocks for Russell Wilson and
(16:09):
all of the advantages to Justin Fields, still Mike Tomlin
has Wilson as QB one and don't tell me.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Well, let's just tell the Steelers operate. If Justin Fields
was pointing.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
At the sky point of the heavens as a generational
can't miss quarterback and not missing throws at all, that
he was out there and it was an oil painting,
a masterpiece every day, he would have been QB one.
Don't fool yourself.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Don't be an idiot. That's the way it works.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Now, page two, we go now to the Nard Auxnard.
That's where the Dallas football team is embedded in southern California.
The Cowboys have placed wide receivers C. D. Lamb on
the reserve. Did not report to work list. Say what,
(17:00):
he hasn't shown enough to work. He continues to sit
out a training camp brew haha with Jerry Jones trying
to get a new long term contract.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
We know about that.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
So how do you classify CD Lamb being placed on
the Dallas Cowboys reserve list? So it's using the iPhone.
You know that predictive AI text thing where it predicts
what the next word.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Is going to be. Yeah, that's essentially what this is.
It's procedural.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
The Cowboys are following the manual.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
The regulations for the NFL.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
It creates roster space out of thin air, and everyone's
got a crunch. You shouldn't have a crunch yet because
you haven't gotten rid of anybody. At least you don't
have to get rid of anybody yet, but because of
the injury situation. But what it also does is it
tells us it's a dead dar I. It tells us
that this CD Lamb standoff is going to linger. It's
(18:01):
gonna laker, all right, there's nothing on the horizon. I'm
not gonna wake up in the afternoon when I wake
up and there'll be some announcement that Ceedee Lamb's agreed
to a new four year contract with eighty five million
guaranteed or anything like that. There's nothing on the horizon
in terms of a mega deal. Otherwise you wouldn't bother
doing this. Jerry Jones continues to stonewall his quarterback Dakota Prescott,
(18:27):
his wide receiver Ceedee Lamb and his defensive star Michaeh.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Parsons.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
None of them have gotten mega mega mega million dollar deals.
Haven't gotten them. How long is this gonna last? Is
Jerry gonna came in before the start of the regular season.
Are we going to get that last minute just before
the Cowboy opener deal where Ceedee Lamb gets paid? Is
it gonna happen? I'll believe it when Jerry doesn't give
the money. He shouldn't pay these guys because they don't
(18:54):
deserve the money based on their playoff performance.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Oh, you're just being a shock jock. You're a boom.
They deserve the money.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Okay, Yeah, how about you go out there and don't
puke all over the field against the Cheeseheads.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Now we pivot to Seattle, where crying Craig is crying
somewhere off in the corner.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
I saw this quote.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I wanted to spend a couple minutes with you on it.
The Seahawks have a GM named John Schneider who successfully
kicked Pete Carroll out of Seattle and kept his job.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
So John Schneider revealed that he wanted to interview the
Ravens defensive cordator Mike McDonald, as in Mike McDonald had
a farm eiio. He wanted to interview Mike McDonald for
the head coaching job in Seattle. So much, how much
you ask? So much that he prayed at Mass for
(19:43):
Baltimore to lose the Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game. Schneider,
behind a paywall on the Old Gray.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Lady said this is heathen s as in ship swimming
through the waters.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
He said, it is heathen s word. So that's I
found that interesting.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
And now here's the thing on this, right, the Seahawks
would have needed due to the NFL rules, they would
have needed to wait until after the Super Bowl to
conduct the in person interview had the Ravens beaten the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
But what do you make.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Of the Seahawks gm John Schneider saying that he prayed
for the Ravens to lose so he could interview Mike McDonald.
So it's obviously blasphemy.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
How dare you?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
It's also not supposed to work, right, you know, that's
like reverse You can't you're supposed to do that.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
But this whole story is a pancake. It's a bunch
of pancakes. It's fluffy pancakes.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
It's fluff.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
It is optimism season in the NFL. The Seahawks hired
a nobody, a zero as their head coach. Nobody had
heard of this guy, disciple of John Harbaugh.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Part of the Ravens' success.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
The Ravens have had many great defensive teams before Mike McDonald,
and they'll have good defensive teams after Mike McDonald because
they have good defensive players.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
It's amazing how that works. But this is just fluff, right, You're.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Trying to build up the myth, the legend of a nameless,
faceless coach, part of the flotsam and jetsam of coaching
and the Seahawks right now. And I know No Strudinis
is not gonna like this, But the Seahawks are in
the middle of the bell curve.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
They're not at the very bottom. They're not the worst
team that's Carolina. They're not at the very bottom. However,
they're They're right in the middle. They're not at the top.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
It's a lot of standard issue players on that roster
stuck in the middle. And Gino Smith nothing special, just
a placeholder until they find there forever quarterback and then
he'll go somewhere else down the highway of football. But
this hole over the top thing, and he went to
mass to pray that the Ravens lost. Yet one thing
(21:59):
I've learned over my time doing this job. When Lamar
Jackson is starting a playoff game, you don't have to
pray for him to lose, because more times than not,
he's going to be the reason they lose because he
always sits in the cockpit of the vomit comet in
playoff games. And that is a fact.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
This is one big Ben gets grail Brown said.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Coach Kevin Stefanski announced that the start of training camp
that he would continue to call plays on offense despite
the team hiring Ken Dorsey as the offensive coordinator. Ben,
do you think that's the right move for the Browns? Well,
it is fine with it, he said.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Well, he said that, but it's the right move because
Kevin Stefanski.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Does not trust Ken Dorsey.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
If he thought Ken Dorsey was an exceptional offensive mind,
he would allow him to call the plays. He doesn't
trust him. He's not in the bubble of trust. That's
why that move who was being made next?
Speaker 7 (23:02):
Since July third, the Arizona Diamondbacks have the best record
in baseball at twenty and eight. They are now tie
the top with the wild card standings. Ben, what chances
to give Arizona and getting back to the World Series, Well.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
They had the same chances that the odds of lightning
hitting the same place twice. Now, lightning does occasionally hit
the same place twice, but that was such a fluky
run last year by the Doma Backs. I'll give them
their due. They have played well O eight the last
month or so, but it's a lot different. It's gonna
be a lot different for them in the playoffs this year.
I'm not buying it. They're not getting the World Series
(23:32):
Dodgers of Phillies in the World Series next so.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Amid questions about several Olympic Chinese swimmers that previously failed
drug tests still being allowed to compete, Michael Phelps said
that he supported a one and done policy that would
enforce a lifetime ban against athletes a test positive for
a foreign substance.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Ben, do you think this would ever happen?
Speaker 8 (23:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Because there'll be lawsuits and they'll say, well, they'll question
the testing process or process. How do you diagnose who's
legitimately cheating and who's not cheating? If I'm not mistaken,
I read these tabloids in London. There's like actual criminals
that are competing in the Olympics. So if they can't
even keep the criminal element out of the Olympics, how
are they going to ban anyone from the Olympic Games?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
There?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
It is mallard of the third degree? How did we know.
Speaker 9 (24:18):
That? I want?

Speaker 8 (24:56):
Yeah, that's right, it's a Queen of hearts. Here am
the Big Ben Malor Show here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Yes, what happened to the music there? The music went? Well, there,
it is there, it is it was here, it was here.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
And just for the record, this is the tenth year
we've been using the listener submitted open.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Is that correct?
Speaker 8 (25:16):
Yeah, yes, for sure, it's been like five thousand years now.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I know show's been around for a while, and we
will take some calls for Lorena as as soon as
my board gets reset here eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox. The question though, the first question here is
from Big Lou.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
You know who that is? Big Lou. Hi, Big Lou,
great guy, Yes, big fan of the show.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
He makes sure I always got chicken strips in my belly,
all right.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
He says, how long into dating a person should you
take a trip with them, during the courting period, before
the official relationship or when you are officially locked down
to that person.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
I did us on my sarcastic answers the other day.
I guess a few weeks ago with Brian No and
I said to go as soon as possible, like, and
I wasn't completely against that idea, to be honest with you.
I think it's a great idea to get to go
an adventure and see how your person is traveling with you.
But maybe wait a few months, make sure it's worth
the splurge if you actually want to do something like that.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Oh, so you're saying, Big Lou spending the money on that. Rather,
if you.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Want to splurge and you know, show them that you're
here to treat them to the world's finest do that.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Oh about paying? Each person pays their own way. Havenout
that I've.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
Done that, and I've paid my way for my guy too.
So it all depends on your relationship. Yeah, I didn't
know you were.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
I didn't know you were sugar mom.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
I'm a sugar mama.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Bet I had no idea.
Speaker 8 (26:44):
What can I say? I like homeless men.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Okay, so do I they call my show? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (26:48):
They do all the time, don't they? And they show
up to our appearances as well. It's they're big fans.
Stu says Lorena. Is online dating your online dating sites
a scam?
Speaker 8 (27:03):
I personally think they are.
Speaker 10 (27:04):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
I do know a couple of people who have gotten
in actual relationships from there, but I feel like most
of the time it's hookup sites. So if you're just
looking for a quick connection and a quick layup, then
you're probably good to go. But if you're actually looking
for a real connection, I always suggest going out and
meeting someone in person, because the actual connection that you
make has to be face to face.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Art Puffin says if you ever been catfish. Oh, okay,
that it happens.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
I've met most of the men I've ever talked to you, Yes, most,
but not all. Most but not all.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I got you, Eleen writes. Since she says, Loraina, why
is your name spelled that way?
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Great question?
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Okay, so funny story. My mom is actually the Hispanic
in my family, and she yes, and she wanted to
name me Sarah. My dad is the whitest man you've
ever seen.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
He's so white.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
He's usually red a lot leg yep and all right,
and he uh uh, he's the one who want to
name me Lorena because he's had four boys before me,
and I'm his first daughter, so he wanted to name
me the queen.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Wow. Yeah. And you have four older brothers.
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Four older brothers, yes, to the age of like forty seven.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Okay, and are you the youngest? Okay, Lorenda.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Do you know there's a place down the street called
Lorena's spelled the same.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Way Lorena the Spa. Yes, I have, I know about it.
I haven't been there. I was wondering if they'd give
me a discount.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
They got to your shirt or something.
Speaker 11 (28:37):
They got to give me some nice big blue sign they.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
Have that Dave's Hot Chicken, and is it bathroom Robbins?
What is it Coldstone? It's cold Stone. He's also in there.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
He's naming all of the stores, not just ferg Dog right,
since says if a truck driver got a tattoo of you,
Lorena on his rear end, would you be flattered or disgusted?
Speaker 8 (29:01):
It depends on how good it is? Really Yay, I
mean I might be flattered for a second, but don't
ask me to sign it.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
No autographs, no autograph, no signing autographs. Let's take a
call for the Queen of farts. Charlie is in San Diego.
Hello Charlie. Welcome then, brother, how you doing? Welcome? You
say hello to Lorena?
Speaker 10 (29:25):
Lorena?
Speaker 4 (29:26):
I love you?
Speaker 8 (29:27):
Was up, Charlie?
Speaker 10 (29:29):
Hey, I met a. I have a crush on a
young lady and I want to know should I invite
her to the neighborhood tavern or the fancy Foo Foo
Tequila join downtown Ooh?
Speaker 8 (29:43):
You know, I would start her with the tavern, especially
if you go there often and there's a lot of
people that you know, and see how she vibes with
your group of people. And then if it does go, well,
you can take her to the fanci or tequila place
and do like a tequila flight, you know, let the
tequila demons out after you get to know her.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
That's great advice because if you start out at the
very top, she's going to expect that all the time.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
So you don't want to start out like that.
Speaker 8 (30:08):
Let's take Lee for example, right if he introduced you
to all of his homeless friends first, you'd be like,
I don't know how I feel about you, Okay. Always
go with the lowest first and upgrade later.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I guess all right, Thank you, Charlie.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
I appreciate that. There goes.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Let's say hello to Nick in Missoula, Montana. Who's next
for the Queen of Hearts?
Speaker 9 (30:34):
Lorena? I need some serious advice here.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
What's going on, boo?
Speaker 9 (30:38):
I've been to this girl almost two years now, but
I feel like I'm feeling like either she's going to
break up with me for the last two months or
I'm at the point now where I'm just kind of quick.
What should I do?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Well?
Speaker 8 (30:53):
I always suggest starting out with a really deep conversation.
What do you really really want? Are you in it
to win it? Or are you okay with letting it
go and dying. That's where you got to start. Do
you love her? And are you willing to fight for it?
If you are put on your shield and your sport
and you get down on your knee and you say,
I'm ready to fight for this. If that's really what
you want to show, good.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Luck, good luck, good luck. You'll get it done. You'll
get it done.
