Noah in Austin up late with us. He's a big
joke writer, the Great Noah in Austin.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
But our lead this hour.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Is from the tabloids. I can't help myself. I hope
you'll bear with me my indulgence. Here we go to
the heartland of cansa city not only the home of
the current dynasty in Pro football, also the home of
the Ben Mallard chicken fingers at the ending over there
in Liberty, Missouri. Also the drama O Rama djur And
(02:06):
that's going on right now. It involves a certain tight
end developing hot dot dot dot. Now, if you didn't
hear about this, perhaps you don't read the tabloids.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Bad job by you.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It's great reading, especially when you're sitting on the toilet. Man,
is that good reading?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
All right?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So we have learned now that the chief star Travis Kelce,
who is a game show host. He is a actor
in television and movies. Well, Travis Kelsey also has a
PR team, and he has had his PR people contact lawyers.
(02:40):
All of this over some social media posts that you
may have seen. If you live in the matrix. If
you don't live in the matrix, you probably don't know
what I'm talking about. So those posts claim that they
have tangible evidence prove revealing that Travis kelce has been
living a lie for the last year. And these documents
(03:03):
claimed to show a quote contract that was revealed the
exact date down to the day where this relationship between
Kelsey and Taylor Swift will come to an end. Now
Travis Kelcey has lawyered up. There were legal papers bouncing around.
(03:26):
According to the Daily Mail, one of the great tabloids
out there, the London tabloid, reporting this, this supposedly fake
pr strategy document has bounced around.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
It's spread like wildfire in the matrix.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So let us discuss the question, what do you make
of if the tabloids are right Travis Kelcey's legal team
attempting to legally debunk the Taylor Swift documents of a
breakup story that are bouncing around. So I've got Circus act,
kem Trails and Maxwell House, and we will combine all
(04:06):
of these things together and say study as she goes.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Because we got a long flight. It's a red eye flight.
We're here all night.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So a Travis Kelcey through this story, if accurate, as
I understand it, my head was spinning a little bit.
But as I understand Travis Kelsey's advisors are at the
very least admitting the idea that all of this is
not real is a plausible story, and they know it's
(04:38):
a plausible story.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Now, what is my evidence.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
My evidence is they would not have a visceral reaction
of going to lawyers right away.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
I mean they immediately trying to refute this story.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
And if you try to refute, as a celebrity, every
fake story, it is an untenable situation. It is a
war you cannot win. And it's that old line. If
you find yourself in a whole stop diggit. And this
story bouncing around claims to reveal a undercover strategy by
a high falutin Hollywood PR firm that lays it all out.
(05:15):
Everything's laid out there that the Kelsey Swift split announcement
was going to happen on September twenty eighth.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
You can do the math as we slide into the fourth.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
September, sliding into the fourth day of September here, so
September twenty eighth, so a little over three weeks away now.
It also outlines a supposed plan to release an official
statement at the end of the month and They even
go into detail on this.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
If you see the documents, you don't need to read them.
I'll just give them to you right now, three days
post breakup, it says.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
And that would allow the initial media frenzy, the feeding frenzy,
to settle down. And then in clarity, it goes into
such detail this document it adds that the announcement will
be gracious and respectful and stress mutual respect. The paperwork also,
but wait, there's more, states that this announcement would focus
(06:17):
on mister Kelsey's personal growth by framing the breakup as
a natural part of life.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
And whoever did is if it's fake.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
They did a great job, right, They did a really
good job. They nailed it right, They got of the ie,
they crossed the tee.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
All that now.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
It also, according to the document, will highlight Kelsey's unwavering
commitment to his career, his ongoing achievements in the professional
sports industry. So this whole situation continues to feel like
a circus act.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I'm talking about the relationship.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
There's a lot of spinning plates going on, like a
good circus act there, and you're trying to keep all
these plates spinning. Spint's Spins, Min'spins, Ben's been Pins, Spencepin' Spencepin'
Smith Spin.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Now, we wouldn't be shocked if.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
This year long love story was just a made for
Hollywood sham. I fell down a rabbit hole. I don't
know much about Taylor Swift. I've heard of music over
the years, but.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I've read something online. I know who's true or not.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But Taylor Swift's mother was in marketing and that's that's
where she worked. And one story I was reading was
detailing how Taylor Swift's entire life has been carefully choreographed
by the family there that her image has been hand
crafted surgical precision, every minute detail has been fed and
(07:45):
trimmed and all that for public consumption. So keep an
eye on it. But that would be a humdinger humdinger
of a real Now they can't announce it's September twenty eight.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
That's off the table. So if this is bogus, then
down for the way it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
But if they are planning to break up and they've
got it all laid out, and you would think that
this is such a big media frenzy, if they do
break up, there will be a PR firm involved. They
cannot do it September twenty eighth, they'll have to push
it back. Now, on that same train of thought, we
turn the page to Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
The NFL Lidlifter.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Is on Thursday, and that will feature Baltimore and Kansas
City at Arrowhead. The Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey. He
went on record claiming that Taylor Swift's influence is why
Travis Kelcey got a one hundred million dollars podcast deal
(08:42):
with Amazon? Is that fair or foul? So some people
up in arms over there saying it's it's not right.
It's absolutely fair, fair ball, fair ball, and I'm never
wrong about these things. Travis Kelcey and his brother right
now are the chemtrails of the Swifties ship. They are
(09:04):
every man, woman, and child with an IQ above ten
knows this. Without the Swifties listening for Intel some kind
of dirt on the relationship, The Kelsey brothers are simply
doing another meathead jock podcast. Those are a dime a
dozen and most people don't listen to them. Neither one
of these guys, the Kelsey Brothers, is entertaining. They're just
(09:27):
like all the others. It's less snoozefest is what it is,
all right, now, last word, So we pivot a little
further away from the heart of the story, which was
the story where Travis Kelsey's PR people are hiring lawyers
to try to debunk the internet chatter that this is
all a sham relationship with the NFL social media arm
(09:51):
got involved in this and they posted a hype video.
You might have seen the season beginning, This is our
Wednesday show begins tomorrow, And so the NFL social media
arm posted a hype video and it was really short,
bounced all over the place. Many people though, pointing out,
how could you miss this? The Komodo dragon in the room,
(10:14):
a certain pop diva was the star of the show
to get you ready for the NFL season. So how
do you read how do you read the NFL marketing
people their hype video obsession.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
With Taylor Swift?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
All right, so you can give your take in a minute,
I'm gonna give my take. So the league knows this
romance is not going to last forever, right, short lived,
whether it ends now or maybe they have a wedding
and they get married, and they get married for a
couple of years and then they break up and get
divorced and all either way, it's not a long term,
live happily ever after situation. So the NFL right now
(10:56):
is brewing up some Maxwell House coffee.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
They know for business.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
This is good to the last drop. We all know it,
right I do this TV show on the weekends. We're
always trying to find ways to mention Taylor Swift's name
on the TV show. Like some idiot might be watching
the TV show and then see Taylor Swift's name mentioned
or a photo of her, and all of a sudden,
you get all excited, and we'll get all the Swifties
to watch the show. But they're squeezing all the juice
(11:23):
out of the Swifty orange, if you will, right for reference,
the twenty eight second clip, that's it, twenty eight seconds,
that's our attention span.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Twenty eight seconds.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
They showed Taylor Swift not one, not two, not three,
not four, five times in a twenty eight second clip.
She was shown more than Patrick Mahomes or any other
player for that matter. And quarterbacks who have had some success,
Joe Burrow, who got to a Super Bowl a couple
years back. He wasn't in the video. Brock Perdy, who
(11:55):
was just in the Super Bowl back in February, he
wasn't there. Of course, you could argue that Joe Burrow
and Brock Purty and Patrick Mahomes. None of those people
have sold one hundred and fourteen million records. Taylor Swift
has has, and more partly, the NFL people think she's
gonna sell a bunch of overpriced NFL T shirts and merch.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
It's all about the merch.

I got an update from Cowboy Drew. He's one of
(13:58):
the gamers that's up all night with you. Spent about
ten thousand hours playing that farming game, so it's good to.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Have him alongside for all those hours.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
But our lead this hour is from the bay for
the last month of our lives, doing monotonous talk radio
every night.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah. That's
how it sounds. We talk about the issues of the day.
It's one of the manchas we have on this show,
the news of the day. Some of you, you know
who you are, get annoyed. You send me nasty letters.
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Why are you talking about that story? I don't care
about that story. Let we do the show only for you.
Get upset, you're anger, and I don't right back to everybody,
the people that occasionally will write back to I'll say, listen,
this is the way show works. We start out every
day with the blank canvas and whatever the stories are
people are talking about. We do broadcasting, not narrow casting.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Right. We have worry about the show that we do
that night, and that's what we worry about.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
So for the last month, the forty nine ers have
been sparring with a couple of their key players, the
reigning runner up in the NFL, and they ended one
of those long sagas signing Brandon Ayuk to a big extension.
So they took care of that, and now they have
(15:19):
taken care of their other high profile contractor Fluffle.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
You didn't hear about it, with not a lot of fanfare.
Perhaps you missed it. The left tackle Trent Williams. He's back.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Trent Williams has returned to the forty nine Ers, ending
his training camp hole that Williams is now signed through
twenty twenty six, but he did not have any guaranteed money.
He had been signed already had a couple of years remaining,
but no guaranteed money.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
And so now he complained about that and said that's
not fair. I want more money.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
So they gave him more money. And he said that
seecurity was the key, say security to volta League. That
was the quote that he gave to start about security.
Also claimed that the random shooting of his teammate Ricky
pearsall right through the chest but he survived and it's
(16:18):
gonna be okay. Ricky piersoll that shooting helped motivate Trent
Williams to end the stand up. So those are the
two talking points that I came across as I was perusing.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
This story, and I thought that was interesting. So let
us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
The Mammoth left tackle Trent Williams says that he eyed
security and that rookie teammate Ricky Pearsoll getting shot randomly
on the streets of San Francisco main reason he wanted
to return sooner.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
To the forty nine ers. Do you believe him? Do
you believe him?
Speaker 6 (16:56):
So?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I've got the Queen granulated sugar and sparkling jewelry, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to sail off to the wild.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Blue Yonder, is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
So Na bar, Yeah, it's a nice story. Do I
believe the story? No, we are going to go with
stories that are nonsense. For one thousand, alex Oh for two.
My spidy like sense is telling me that Trent Williams
(17:32):
did not sign because of security, and he certainly didn't
sign because of his teammate getting shot over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
That is a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Is a bunch of balogney, bunch of money Trent Williams,
And I'm not sure, I'm very clear. Trent Williams has
earned one hundred and sixty eight million dollars just on
the field. Now, offensive linemen don't make a lot of
money off the field, I get that, But one hundred
and sixty eight million on field during his career outside
(18:02):
of Bernie Madoff being his financial advisor. You've got security, right,
You've got security, generations of your family, your fifth and
sixth cousins, have security if you if you want. So
this was about one thing and one thing only. The
Queen Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul and Lorena played
(18:27):
at last hour riespect it's all about that respect. All
I'm asking for a little respect. Garanteed money. That is
the love language of pro football. Guaranteed money. It's magical.
And from his perspective, he didn't have any guaranteed money left.
So abracadabra shazam, he complains, he sits out, and all
(18:52):
of a sudden, the Niners somehow they have a bake
sale and they come up with forty eight million dollars
in fully guaranteed money at signing.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
He also gets a twenty five point.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Six million signing bonus because he lives plays in California.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I don't think he lives there in the offseason.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So Trent Williams, once you factor in California tax, federal tax,
it's about twenty five dollars, but he did start with
twenty five point six in terms of the signing bonus,
now page two, Staying in the bay. Brandon Auk, who
was in a tough spot and certainly seemed like he
wanted to play somewhere else on his contract negotiation. He
(19:31):
gave a quote this week saying, quote, I'm not going
to lie. He said, I made it a little more
difficult than it needed to be. In the end, however,
wide receiver Brandon iox says, ultimately he wanted to be
with the forty nine ers. So here we go again.
Wanted to be with the forty nine ers. Is that
how you read the room on this one? So yeah,
(19:57):
maybe my reading skills are down.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh it's possible, but I'm gonna shake my head no
on this. I file this one in the bag of
granulated sugar. This is what's known as sugar coating reality.
That Brandon Iuk's first choice was to play for, of
all teams.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
The Washington Commanders.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Good luck on that, But he also was interested in
playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. We know that he did
not want to play for the Patriots or the Cleveland Browns.
Can't blame him on that, but the preferred choices were
Washington and Pittsburgh, and his guy Jaden Daniels. They go
back to Arizona State together in DC, and you got
(20:40):
Mike Tomlin a person of interest for Brandon Iock in Pittsburgh. Now,
in the end, the forty nine Ers came this close
to making his dreams come true, at least trading him
to Pittsburgh. As we hear from a little birdie that
they saw one in a miss. They contacted the Broncos
tried to work out a three team in trade. They
(21:01):
wanted to get Courtland Sutton out of Denver and then
they were gonna acquire some draft picks from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
They're gonna move some things around there.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
There was a snaffou they didn't work out the compensation
with Denver, so that trade never happened and as a result,
that trade was off the table. The Commander's never fully engaged.
So long story short, Brandon auks he got tired of
sitting around. He wanted to play, and the only way
to play was to go to the forty nine ers,
and so he stayed with the forty nine ers.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
And now they're moving some other stuff around. Our final point.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
A Mallor Show follow up International meta Mystery The Department,
How are things going for the NFL Global Barnstorming Initiative
as they are set to land in Brazil.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
So let's see.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I get the Eagles and Packers. They're gonna play on Friday.
It's on Peacock, so you can watch Benny versus the Penny,
and then you can stay on Peacock and watch the game.
So that's on Friday in Salpolo, Brazil. Now both teams
have been fully debriefed, fully debriefed on the dues and
the don'ts when you get boots on the ground there
(22:16):
in Brazil. And let me point out that when they
put those boots on the ground in Brazil, they might
as well be fitted with sparkling jewelry. I recommend a
nice shiny ankle bracelet to monitor where they're at, because
essentially house arrest, house arrest. Here's why you've got, according
(22:37):
to media reports, wild puffs of smoke in that part
of Brazil from the Amazon burning up their Amazon wildfires.
You have a political brew haa haa between the political
leaders of Brazil and Elon Musk which involves Tesla and x,
(23:00):
the social media platform where you're banned if you can't
use it in Brazil. The players have been strongly advised,
if not ordered, in hush tones, to not leave their
hotel rooms in Brazil.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
In fact, I'm told the Eagles are so paranoid.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
They're landing at the airport there in that part of Brazil,
and they're going to a hotel right next to the
airport because that's deemed the safe zone. The airport is protected,
although the packers are supposedly staying at a hotel in
the city. Players were told not to respond to any
messages they might or might not get on their phones,
which I think is just common anywhere any odd messages.
(23:40):
Players also have been advised by their agents and whatnot
to not bring families, many of them not bringing any
family members with them. And as an added bonus, even
if the NFL is able to make this game happen
without a hitch, the national holiday for Brazil, the equivalent
we are told of the fourth of July, is on Saturday,
(24:02):
September seventh, the day after the game, and I filled
down a spider hole online and one Doom and Gloom
media outfit was reporting major upheaval likely riding in Brazil
in that part of Brazil on Saturday, So in other words.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
You go.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
You play the game, and you just run to the airport, right,
run to the airport and get the f out of
Dodge and get back to the States right after the game.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Don't even shower, you don't even need to shower.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Just get back on the plane with body odor, a
whole plane smells like bo and just get the heck
out of there.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Here we go, Here we go. How about that to
the third degree?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
This is one big event.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Gets grilled Kululu.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
According to a re report, Jimmy Butler likes Brooklyn as
a free agent destination next summer if he's unable to
ink a long term extension with the Heat Ben. Do
you think they're gonna let him test the market?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well, pat Riley's getting grumpy here, and it does look
like I'm a big Jimmy Butler guy. It does look
like his tank is no longer full of gas. He's
getting to his mid thirties. He's played as a crash
test dummy. It really is heading that direction that Butler's
in his final days there with the Miami So I'm
gonna go yes next.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Earlier this season, we saw Shoheo Tani become the sixth
member of the forty forty club. Well, we might actually
see a seventh right now. Jose Ramirez is on pace
for a forty forty season.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Now.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
A couple of years ago, Ramirez was named Baseball's least
appreciated superstar, Ben, do you think that's a title that
he still holds today?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Uh? Well, he plays off the grid. Ya, you're in Cleveland.
The nerds love him like the darksters love him. But
you know, he's not a guy that's a house name
for the casual baseball fan. So if you look at
it that way, his numbers are elite. He's being paid elite.
So I'll go yes.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Next, now, Ben.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
As some listeners may know, every year, there's a sheet
put up here in the studio with all of the
employee's predictions for the NFL season. Uh, the one that
interests me most is the worst team category. Who are
you giving that to this year?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Well, until Prunoa is the Carolina Panthers, I see no
reason to think they're not gonna suck and be terrible
yet again. And the Giants will give him a run
for them, my Patriots. I mean, there's a bunch of
teams neck and neck, but Carolina is still head and
shoulders in the suck category above those other teams. With
a wink and a nod to the Patriots and the
Giants there it is Mallard of the third degree.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
How did we do pass this edition? That is a
way you get put on the bark woo. Happy birthday,

You know?
Speaker 9 (28:09):
For sports rivalries, it might be safe to keep your
distance in that, you know what I mean. Maybe find
a girl who doesn't like sports and get her to
love your team. But if you do like a good rivalry,
so I bet some couples really get off on that stuff,
you know, like, oh you want to fight about it, Yeah,
we'll make up later, you know. So I mean, yeah, yeah,
if I find someone who could have fun with it.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Well, they say that whoever they are, say, opposites attract, right, Loraino.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
Yes, I would advise against dating someone who is the
rival of your team.
Speaker 9 (28:40):
Let's fire and ice Eddie.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Well, your your wife Eddie is a super fan. But
if you're a casual fan, I think it'll be okay.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
You're fine.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Cowboy Killer writes in says Lorena Can, a woman data
guy that works at McDonald's.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
Actually, at least he's got a damn job chicken nuggets.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
No, I know a lot of people who work at
McDonald's and have really good relationships. My brother has been
the manager of Taco Bell and he's never been single.
So I mean, who am I to.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Say, Wow, you're you're also if you're working fast food,
if you're working up front, you're meeting a lot of people, right,
your chances of finding someone actually go up, because.
Speaker 10 (29:20):
Who wants to know about possible taco bell deals? I
just said to where's the Taco Bell hookup?
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (29:27):
Yeahey, I've gotten free taco bell from this man one time.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Wow, one, what a good guy? What kind of what
kind of hookup is that?
Speaker 8 (29:36):
Because he's a.
Speaker 9 (29:36):
Half brother, you know, only half the effort. Anyways, that's
the next question.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
All right, JT the wingman says, is it okay to
squeeze your partner's tushy you out for a walk?
Speaker 9 (29:49):
Oh my gosh, please? Any type of I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I like that.
Speaker 9 (29:53):
It shows that you know you're into me when we're
walking around. You should touch on him a bit, rub
on him a bit, show him you like.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Him, you like the public displays of a.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
Yes to a degree. Don't be crazy with it.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
All right? Uh for everything in moderation, even moderation for.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Dog writes in it says, how do you tell a
girl you have an extremely small twigg and berries without
scary scaring them off?
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Asking for a friend?
Speaker 9 (30:24):
You know, it's it's all about perception. If you just
come out boxing and you tell her, you know what not,
it's big baby.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
Perception, you know, like laying on the floor versus standing
up for her.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
Make sure you pose properly. You don't got to say it.
It's okay. Some people don't even mind.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Well, there are angles, you know, there's different angles where
things look like optical illusion exactly exactly. Didn't get a
mirror a funhouse mirror or something like that.
Speaker 9 (30:53):
And the hunt and percent there's always things you can do.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
All right, Blind Scott, Let's go to the phones, Blind
Scott for the Queen of Hearts, Loraine.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
We do it every week if you like the bit.
If you don't like it, we'd only do it once.
Speaker 11 (31:03):
A week, all right, Lorena. I have a partner that's
twenty seven, and she's in a relationship, and she hides
me from her partner her partner's sixty three. I'm afraid
if I push it that she might move in with me.
And I'm used to being alone and I really want
to find love, but love is really hard on me.
I didn't know if you'd any advice for this.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
You know, Well, that's a little bit of a complicated one.
So you're saying she's already with someone.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
Yeah, it's like a palidynamic and she's an old man and.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
He's an old man.
Speaker 11 (31:34):
Painter lesbians, two lesbians, and you know, one is.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
A nurse seven year old dating a sixty three year
old lesbian. That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Must be loaded, must be loaded.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
You know what. People let her keep whatever she's got
on the side. If she wants to come over and
enjoy you, don't put you many limits on it, Kave
blen Scott. We got to keep it as casual as possible.
Don't put your heart on the line because she's obviously
not committed.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
And I've heard blind Scott that your place is so small,
I don't think people could live there.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (32:01):
Maybe maybe you could get her sugar mama to get
you guys an upgrade.
Speaker 11 (32:05):
Yeah, yeah, because I have mental health issues, so I
don't think I could stay in somebody in a small
place for a long time like this.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
You know, yeah, I'm sure definitely.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
All right, Well, thank you, blind Scott. Any final thought here, Lorena, No,
but I.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Hope that everyone continues to love as graciously as possible,
because who knows how long we're going to have this
love show going on. We got to get into the
new betting.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Thing, right, Oh are you really?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Are you?
Speaker 9 (32:27):
I thought you said we're going to do bets.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Well, no, it's coming. We get multitask hevvy.

Noah in Austin up late with us. He's a big
joke writer, the Great Noah in Austin.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
But our lead this hour.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Is from the tabloids. I can't help myself. I hope
you'll bear with me my indulgence. Here we go to
the heartland of cansa city not only the home of
the current dynasty in Pro football, also the home of
the Ben Mallard chicken fingers at the ending over there
in Liberty, Missouri. Also the drama O Rama djur And
(02:06):
that's going on right now. It involves a certain tight
end developing hot dot dot dot. Now, if you didn't
hear about this, perhaps you don't read the tabloids.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Bad job by you.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It's great reading, especially when you're sitting on the toilet. Man,
is that good reading?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
All right?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So we have learned now that the chief star Travis Kelce,
who is a game show host. He is a actor
in television and movies. Well, Travis Kelsey also has a
PR team, and he has had his PR people contact lawyers.
(02:40):
All of this over some social media posts that you
may have seen. If you live in the matrix. If
you don't live in the matrix, you probably don't know
what I'm talking about. So those posts claim that they
have tangible evidence prove revealing that Travis kelce has been
living a lie for the last year. And these documents
(03:03):
claimed to show a quote contract that was revealed the
exact date down to the day where this relationship between
Kelsey and Taylor Swift will come to an end. Now
Travis Kelcey has lawyered up. There were legal papers bouncing around.
(03:26):
According to the Daily Mail, one of the great tabloids
out there, the London tabloid, reporting this, this supposedly fake
pr strategy document has bounced around.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
It's spread like wildfire in the matrix.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So let us discuss the question, what do you make
of if the tabloids are right Travis Kelcey's legal team
attempting to legally debunk the Taylor Swift documents of a
breakup story that are bouncing around. So I've got Circus act,
kem Trails and Maxwell House, and we will combine all
(04:06):
of these things together and say study as she goes.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Because we got a long flight. It's a red eye flight.
We're here all night.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So a Travis Kelcey through this story, if accurate, as
I understand it, my head was spinning a little bit.
But as I understand Travis Kelsey's advisors are at the
very least admitting the idea that all of this is
not real is a plausible story, and they know it's
(04:38):
a plausible story.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Now, what is my evidence.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
My evidence is they would not have a visceral reaction
of going to lawyers right away.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
I mean they immediately trying to refute this story.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
And if you try to refute, as a celebrity, every
fake story, it is an untenable situation. It is a
war you cannot win. And it's that old line. If
you find yourself in a whole stop diggit. And this
story bouncing around claims to reveal a undercover strategy by
a high falutin Hollywood PR firm that lays it all out.
(05:15):
Everything's laid out there that the Kelsey Swift split announcement
was going to happen on September twenty eighth.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
You can do the math as we slide into the fourth.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
September, sliding into the fourth day of September here, so
September twenty eighth, so a little over three weeks away now.
It also outlines a supposed plan to release an official
statement at the end of the month and They even
go into detail on this.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
If you see the documents, you don't need to read them.
I'll just give them to you right now, three days
post breakup, it says.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
And that would allow the initial media frenzy, the feeding frenzy,
to settle down. And then in clarity, it goes into
such detail this document it adds that the announcement will
be gracious and respectful and stress mutual respect. The paperwork also,
but wait, there's more, states that this announcement would focus
(06:17):
on mister Kelsey's personal growth by framing the breakup as
a natural part of life.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
And whoever did is if it's fake.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
They did a great job, right, They did a really
good job. They nailed it right, They got of the ie,
they crossed the tee.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
All that now.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
It also, according to the document, will highlight Kelsey's unwavering
commitment to his career, his ongoing achievements in the professional
sports industry. So this whole situation continues to feel like
a circus act.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I'm talking about the relationship.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
There's a lot of spinning plates going on, like a
good circus act there, and you're trying to keep all
these plates spinning. Spint's Spins, Min'spins, Ben's been Pins, Spencepin' Spencepin'
Smith Spin.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Now, we wouldn't be shocked if.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
This year long love story was just a made for
Hollywood sham. I fell down a rabbit hole. I don't
know much about Taylor Swift. I've heard of music over
the years, but.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I've read something online. I know who's true or not.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But Taylor Swift's mother was in marketing and that's that's
where she worked. And one story I was reading was
detailing how Taylor Swift's entire life has been carefully choreographed
by the family there that her image has been hand
crafted surgical precision, every minute detail has been fed and
(07:45):
trimmed and all that for public consumption. So keep an
eye on it. But that would be a humdinger humdinger
of a real Now they can't announce it's September twenty eight.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
That's off the table. So if this is bogus, then
down for the way it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
But if they are planning to break up and they've
got it all laid out, and you would think that
this is such a big media frenzy, if they do
break up, there will be a PR firm involved. They
cannot do it September twenty eighth, they'll have to push
it back. Now, on that same train of thought, we
turn the page to Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
The NFL Lidlifter.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Is on Thursday, and that will feature Baltimore and Kansas
City at Arrowhead. The Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey. He
went on record claiming that Taylor Swift's influence is why
Travis Kelcey got a one hundred million dollars podcast deal
(08:42):
with Amazon? Is that fair or foul? So some people
up in arms over there saying it's it's not right.
It's absolutely fair, fair ball, fair ball, and I'm never
wrong about these things. Travis Kelcey and his brother right
now are the chemtrails of the Swifties ship. They are
(09:04):
every man, woman, and child with an IQ above ten
knows this. Without the Swifties listening for Intel some kind
of dirt on the relationship, The Kelsey brothers are simply
doing another meathead jock podcast. Those are a dime a
dozen and most people don't listen to them. Neither one
of these guys, the Kelsey Brothers, is entertaining. They're just
(09:27):
like all the others. It's less snoozefest is what it is,
all right, now, last word, So we pivot a little
further away from the heart of the story, which was
the story where Travis Kelsey's PR people are hiring lawyers
to try to debunk the internet chatter that this is
all a sham relationship with the NFL social media arm
(09:51):
got involved in this and they posted a hype video.
You might have seen the season beginning, This is our
Wednesday show begins tomorrow, And so the NFL social media
arm posted a hype video and it was really short,
bounced all over the place. Many people though, pointing out,
how could you miss this? The Komodo dragon in the room,
(10:14):
a certain pop diva was the star of the show
to get you ready for the NFL season. So how
do you read how do you read the NFL marketing
people their hype video obsession.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
With Taylor Swift?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
All right, so you can give your take in a minute,
I'm gonna give my take. So the league knows this
romance is not going to last forever, right, short lived,
whether it ends now or maybe they have a wedding
and they get married, and they get married for a
couple of years and then they break up and get
divorced and all either way, it's not a long term,
live happily ever after situation. So the NFL right now
(10:56):
is brewing up some Maxwell House coffee.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
They know for business.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
This is good to the last drop. We all know it,
right I do this TV show on the weekends. We're
always trying to find ways to mention Taylor Swift's name
on the TV show. Like some idiot might be watching
the TV show and then see Taylor Swift's name mentioned
or a photo of her, and all of a sudden,
you get all excited, and we'll get all the Swifties
to watch the show. But they're squeezing all the juice
(11:23):
out of the Swifty orange, if you will, right for reference,
the twenty eight second clip, that's it, twenty eight seconds,
that's our attention span.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Twenty eight seconds.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
They showed Taylor Swift not one, not two, not three,
not four, five times in a twenty eight second clip.
She was shown more than Patrick Mahomes or any other
player for that matter. And quarterbacks who have had some success,
Joe Burrow, who got to a Super Bowl a couple
years back. He wasn't in the video. Brock Perdy, who
(11:55):
was just in the Super Bowl back in February, he
wasn't there. Of course, you could argue that Joe Burrow
and Brock Purty and Patrick Mahomes. None of those people
have sold one hundred and fourteen million records. Taylor Swift
has has, and more partly, the NFL people think she's
gonna sell a bunch of overpriced NFL T shirts and merch.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
It's all about the merch.

this is the way show works. We start out every
day with the blank canvas and whatever the stories are
people are talking about. We do broadcasting, not narrow casting.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Right. We have worry about the show that we do
that night, and that's what we worry about.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
So for the last month, the forty nine ers have
been sparring with a couple of their key players, the
reigning runner up in the NFL, and they ended one
of those long sagas signing Brandon Ayuk to a big extension.
So they took care of that, and now they have
(15:19):
taken care of their other high profile contractor Fluffle.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
You didn't hear about it, with not a lot of fanfare.
Perhaps you missed it. The left tackle Trent Williams. He's back.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Trent Williams has returned to the forty nine Ers, ending
his training camp hole that Williams is now signed through
twenty twenty six, but he did not have any guaranteed money.
He had been signed already had a couple of years remaining,
but no guaranteed money.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
And so now he complained about that and said that's
not fair. I want more money.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
So they gave him more money. And he said that
seecurity was the key, say security to volta League. That
was the quote that he gave to start about security.
Also claimed that the random shooting of his teammate Ricky
pearsall right through the chest but he survived and it's
(16:18):
gonna be okay. Ricky piersoll that shooting helped motivate Trent
Williams to end the stand up. So those are the
two talking points that I came across as I was perusing.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
This story, and I thought that was interesting. So let
us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
The Mammoth left tackle Trent Williams says that he eyed
security and that rookie teammate Ricky Pearsoll getting shot randomly
on the streets of San Francisco main reason he wanted
to return sooner.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
To the forty nine ers. Do you believe him? Do
you believe him?
Speaker 6 (16:56):
So?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I've got the Queen granulated sugar and sparkling jewelry, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to sail off to the wild.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Blue Yonder, is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
So Na bar, Yeah, it's a nice story. Do I
believe the story? No, we are going to go with
stories that are nonsense. For one thousand, alex Oh for two.
My spidy like sense is telling me that Trent Williams
(17:32):
did not sign because of security, and he certainly didn't
sign because of his teammate getting shot over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
That is a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Is a bunch of balogney, bunch of money Trent Williams,
And I'm not sure, I'm very clear. Trent Williams has
earned one hundred and sixty eight million dollars just on
the field. Now, offensive linemen don't make a lot of
money off the field, I get that, But one hundred
and sixty eight million on field during his career outside
(18:02):
of Bernie Madoff being his financial advisor. You've got security, right,
You've got security, generations of your family, your fifth and
sixth cousins, have security if you if you want. So
this was about one thing and one thing only. The
Queen Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul and Lorena played
(18:27):
at last hour riespect it's all about that respect. All
I'm asking for a little respect. Garanteed money. That is
the love language of pro football. Guaranteed money. It's magical.
And from his perspective, he didn't have any guaranteed money left.
So abracadabra shazam, he complains, he sits out, and all
(18:52):
of a sudden, the Niners somehow they have a bake
sale and they come up with forty eight million dollars
in fully guaranteed money at signing.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
He also gets a twenty five point.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Six million signing bonus because he lives plays in California.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I don't think he lives there in the offseason.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So Trent Williams, once you factor in California tax, federal tax,
it's about twenty five dollars, but he did start with
twenty five point six in terms of the signing bonus,
now page two, Staying in the bay. Brandon Auk, who
was in a tough spot and certainly seemed like he
wanted to play somewhere else on his contract negotiation. He
(19:31):
gave a quote this week saying, quote, I'm not going
to lie. He said, I made it a little more
difficult than it needed to be. In the end, however,
wide receiver Brandon iox says, ultimately he wanted to be
with the forty nine ers. So here we go again.
Wanted to be with the forty nine ers. Is that
how you read the room on this one? So yeah,
(19:57):
maybe my reading skills are down.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh it's possible, but I'm gonna shake my head no
on this. I file this one in the bag of
granulated sugar. This is what's known as sugar coating reality.
That Brandon Iuk's first choice was to play for, of
all teams.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
The Washington Commanders.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Good luck on that, But he also was interested in
playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. We know that he did
not want to play for the Patriots or the Cleveland Browns.
Can't blame him on that, but the preferred choices were
Washington and Pittsburgh, and his guy Jaden Daniels. They go
back to Arizona State together in DC, and you got
(20:40):
Mike Tomlin a person of interest for Brandon Iock in Pittsburgh. Now,
in the end, the forty nine Ers came this close
to making his dreams come true, at least trading him
to Pittsburgh. As we hear from a little birdie that
they saw one in a miss. They contacted the Broncos
tried to work out a three team in trade. They
(21:01):
wanted to get Courtland Sutton out of Denver and then
they were gonna acquire some draft picks from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
They're gonna move some things around there.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
There was a snaffou they didn't work out the compensation
with Denver, so that trade never happened and as a result,
that trade was off the table. The Commander's never fully engaged.
So long story short, Brandon auks he got tired of
sitting around. He wanted to play, and the only way
to play was to go to the forty nine ers,
and so he stayed with the forty nine ers.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
And now they're moving some other stuff around. Our final point.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
A Mallor Show follow up International meta Mystery The Department,
How are things going for the NFL Global Barnstorming Initiative
as they are set to land in Brazil.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
So let's see.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I get the Eagles and Packers. They're gonna play on Friday.
It's on Peacock, so you can watch Benny versus the Penny,
and then you can stay on Peacock and watch the game.
So that's on Friday in Salpolo, Brazil. Now both teams
have been fully debriefed, fully debriefed on the dues and
the don'ts when you get boots on the ground there
(22:16):
in Brazil. And let me point out that when they
put those boots on the ground in Brazil, they might
as well be fitted with sparkling jewelry. I recommend a
nice shiny ankle bracelet to monitor where they're at, because
essentially house arrest, house arrest. Here's why you've got, according
(22:37):
to media reports, wild puffs of smoke in that part
of Brazil from the Amazon burning up their Amazon wildfires.
You have a political brew haa haa between the political
leaders of Brazil and Elon Musk which involves Tesla and x,
(23:00):
the social media platform where you're banned if you can't
use it in Brazil. The players have been strongly advised,
if not ordered, in hush tones, to not leave their
hotel rooms in Brazil.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
In fact, I'm told the Eagles are so paranoid.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
They're landing at the airport there in that part of Brazil,
and they're going to a hotel right next to the
airport because that's deemed the safe zone. The airport is protected,
although the packers are supposedly staying at a hotel in
the city. Players were told not to respond to any
messages they might or might not get on their phones,
which I think is just common anywhere any odd messages.
(23:40):
Players also have been advised by their agents and whatnot
to not bring families, many of them not bringing any
family members with them. And as an added bonus, even
if the NFL is able to make this game happen
without a hitch, the national holiday for Brazil, the equivalent
we are told of the fourth of July, is on Saturday,
(24:02):
September seventh, the day after the game, and I filled
down a spider hole online and one Doom and Gloom
media outfit was reporting major upheaval likely riding in Brazil
in that part of Brazil on Saturday, So in other words.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
You go.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
You play the game, and you just run to the airport, right,
run to the airport and get the f out of
Dodge and get back to the States right after the game.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Don't even shower, you don't even need to shower.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Just get back on the plane with body odor, a
whole plane smells like bo and just get the heck
out of there.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Here we go, Here we go. How about that to
the third degree?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
This is one big event.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Gets grilled Kululu.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
According to a re report, Jimmy Butler likes Brooklyn as
a free agent destination next summer if he's unable to
ink a long term extension with the Heat Ben. Do
you think they're gonna let him test the market?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well, pat Riley's getting grumpy here, and it does look
like I'm a big Jimmy Butler guy. It does look
like his tank is no longer full of gas. He's
getting to his mid thirties. He's played as a crash
test dummy. It really is heading that direction that Butler's
in his final days there with the Miami So I'm
gonna go yes next.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Earlier this season, we saw Shoheo Tani become the sixth
member of the forty forty club. Well, we might actually
see a seventh right now. Jose Ramirez is on pace
for a forty forty season.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Now.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
A couple of years ago, Ramirez was named Baseball's least
appreciated superstar, Ben, do you think that's a title that
he still holds today?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Uh? Well, he plays off the grid. Ya, you're in Cleveland.
The nerds love him like the darksters love him. But
you know, he's not a guy that's a house name
for the casual baseball fan. So if you look at
it that way, his numbers are elite. He's being paid elite.
So I'll go yes.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Next, now, Ben.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
As some listeners may know, every year, there's a sheet
put up here in the studio with all of the
employee's predictions for the NFL season. Uh, the one that
interests me most is the worst team category. Who are
you giving that to this year?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Well, until Prunoa is the Carolina Panthers, I see no
reason to think they're not gonna suck and be terrible
yet again. And the Giants will give him a run
for them, my Patriots. I mean, there's a bunch of
teams neck and neck, but Carolina is still head and
shoulders in the suck category above those other teams. With
a wink and a nod to the Patriots and the
Giants there it is Mallard of the third degree.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
How did we do pass this edition? That is a
way you get put on the bark woo. Happy birthday,
Hawk Carrolson.

It's Boz with Lorrain at ten nine Clean up Hearts,
going to help you, dear Riye gear Rie to nine,
gear Ri to nine.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
Dear R, you heard the man. It's Tom for Queen
of Hearts here on the Ben Maller Show.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Well, a hell of a job by our friend from
Tulsa who sent us the Wally and Tulsa who sent
us the temporary open for Queen of Hearts, which has
now we played for eleven years.
Speaker 9 (27:38):
Temporarily permanent.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, all right, So these are actual questions by actual
listeners for you, Lorena and might I add, we will
make some calls in here as well, so I will
Coop will feed me the calls, and then we will
have the reading of the calls as well.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Inca Terror writes in first question.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
As a die Yankee fan, I have never allowed myself
to get romantically involved with a Red Sox fans just say,
is this a mistake?
Speaker 4 (28:09):
You know?
Speaker 9 (28:09):
For sports rivalries, it might be safe to keep your
distance in that, you know what I mean. Maybe find
a girl who doesn't like sports and get her to
love your team. But if you do like a good rivalry,
so I bet some couples really get off on that stuff,
you know, like, oh you want to fight about it, Yeah,
we'll make up later, you know. So I mean, yeah, yeah,
if I find someone who could have fun with it.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Well, they say that whoever they are, say, opposites attract, right, Loraino.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
Yes, I would advise against dating someone who is the
rival of your team.
Speaker 9 (28:40):
Let's fire and ice Eddie.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Well, your your wife Eddie is a super fan. But
if you're a casual fan, I think it'll be okay.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
You're fine.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Cowboy Killer writes in says Lorena Can, a woman data
guy that works at McDonald's.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
Actually, at least he's got a damn job chicken nuggets.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
No, I know a lot of people who work at
McDonald's and have really good relationships. My brother has been
the manager of Taco Bell and he's never been single.
So I mean, who am I to.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Say, Wow, you're you're also if you're working fast food,
if you're working up front, you're meeting a lot of people, right,
your chances of finding someone actually go up, because.
Speaker 10 (29:20):
Who wants to know about possible taco bell deals? I
just said to where's the Taco Bell hookup?
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (29:27):
Yeahey, I've gotten free taco bell from this man one time.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Wow, one, what a good guy? What kind of what
kind of hookup is that?
Speaker 8 (29:36):
Because he's a.
Speaker 9 (29:36):
Half brother, you know, only half the effort. Anyways, that's
the next question.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
All right, JT the wingman says, is it okay to
squeeze your partner's tushy you out for a walk?
Speaker 9 (29:49):
Oh my gosh, please? Any type of I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I like that.
Speaker 9 (29:53):
It shows that you know you're into me when we're
walking around. You should touch on him a bit, rub
on him a bit, show him you like.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Him, you like the public displays of a.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
Yes to a degree. Don't be crazy with it.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
All right? Uh for everything in moderation, even moderation for.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Dog writes in it says, how do you tell a
girl you have an extremely small twigg and berries without
scary scaring them off?
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Asking for a friend?
Speaker 9 (30:24):
You know, it's it's all about perception. If you just
come out boxing and you tell her, you know what not,
it's big baby.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
Perception, you know, like laying on the floor versus standing
up for her.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
Make sure you pose properly. You don't got to say it.
It's okay. Some people don't even mind.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Well, there are angles, you know, there's different angles where
things look like optical illusion exactly exactly. Didn't get a
mirror a funhouse mirror or something like that.
Speaker 9 (30:53):
And the hunt and percent there's always things you can do.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
All right, Blind Scott, Let's go to the phones, Blind
Scott for the Queen of Hearts, Loraine.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
We do it every week if you like the bit.
If you don't like it, we'd only do it once.
Speaker 11 (31:03):
A week, all right, Lorena. I have a partner that's
twenty seven, and she's in a relationship, and she hides
me from her partner her partner's sixty three. I'm afraid
if I push it that she might move in with me.
And I'm used to being alone and I really want
to find love, but love is really hard on me.
I didn't know if you'd any advice for this.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
You know, Well, that's a little bit of a complicated one.
So you're saying she's already with someone.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
Yeah, it's like a palidynamic and she's an old man and.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
He's an old man.
Speaker 11 (31:34):
Painter lesbians, two lesbians, and you know, one is.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
A nurse seven year old dating a sixty three year
old lesbian. That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Must be loaded, must be loaded.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
You know what. People let her keep whatever she's got
on the side. If she wants to come over and
enjoy you, don't put you many limits on it, Kave
blen Scott. We got to keep it as casual as possible.
Don't put your heart on the line because she's obviously
not committed.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
And I've heard blind Scott that your place is so small,
I don't think people could live there.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (32:01):
Maybe maybe you could get her sugar mama to get
you guys an upgrade.
Speaker 11 (32:05):
Yeah, yeah, because I have mental health issues, so I
don't think I could stay in somebody in a small
place for a long time like this.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
You know, yeah, I'm sure definitely.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
All right, Well, thank you, blind Scott. Any final thought here, Lorena, No,
but I.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Hope that everyone continues to love as graciously as possible,
because who knows how long we're going to have this
love show going on. We got to get into the
new betting.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Thing, right, Oh are you really?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Are you?
Speaker 9 (32:27):
I thought you said we're going to do bets.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Well, no, it's coming. We get multitask hevvy.
