And o' truck or Joe big fan of that tire.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Ract dot Com The Way tire buying SHOWB. So our
lead this hour is from the daily soap opera, that
is the wide receiver position. We're gonna go to the
Pacific Northwest here and if you're keeping score, a name
has entered into the transfer portal, which makes it enjoyable, right.
(02:05):
We love roster moves, people moving to different teams. It's
good for talk radio. And so another name has popped up,
disgruntled NFL player of the hour.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
And we head now to the Seattle area.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
We've learned now that Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf
has said no moss to the Seattle football team. He
has requested a trade as far away from the Pacific
Northwest as he can get. He prefers to be traded
to a team that's actually trying to win, unlike the Seahawks.
(02:41):
The demand was made after a series of clandestine conversations
over the past couple of weeks, and so it came
the same day the Seahawks announced that they were also
firing the franchise legend fellow receiver Tyler Lockett for SNA
nine grata anymore. He's out and so expected his release
(03:07):
was expected. The DK Metcalf we expected it, but apparently
other people did not. The Seattle football team is likely
to capitulate and they will work to facilitate a trade
of their disgruntled past catcher. So let us discuss the question.
What does DK Metcalf asking for a trade from the Seahawks?
(03:30):
What does it signify to you? So I've got hobby, lobby,
midnight mission, and cheesecake factory. We'll combine all of these
things together. We're gonna make some gulash, is what we're
going to do. We're gonna make some gulash. So a
it signifies a predictable outcome, one of the few things
(03:50):
that is easily predictable. And will the last person leaving
Seattle turn out the last the parties over?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Now?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
We tried to warn our friends like crime Craig, JJ
and Ranton and no stradinas we tried to warn them
those that are sleepless in Seattle. They called me crazy,
They made fun of me, they pointed fingers at me,
and who goofed?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I've got to know now, I'm not here to do
a victory lap.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I don't want to do that, but I just want
to point out DK Metcalf by this move It also
signifies a vote of no confidence.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
To Gino Smith.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Gino Smith is who he thought he was, and also
the coaching staff with Mike McDonald and the other coaches
in Seattle, because Metcalf said he wants to play for
a contender and he knows Gino Smith is not a
championship quarterback. He is aware that Mike McDonald is nothing
special as a coach.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So outside of that, it is a clerical movie. DK's
essentially going down.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
To hobby Lobby and he's buying the Bob Ross paint
by Numbers kit and he's just filling in with his
He's got his crayons and he's just kind of filling
that in there.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's it's merely the next step in the process. It's
the chot chot shot.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Right, You perform a little rock step with your right
to the left, and that's how the whole thing gets started.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
But this has been bubbling up.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
DK Metcalf was upset about being marginalized, as we've talked
about in previous shows by the middling Dodoo Birds and
their roster. Yeah, they're no longer the Dodo Birds, they're
the Doodoo Birds. So playing that that Geno Smith and
continuing to play Geno Smith has harpoon the production of
(05:37):
DK Metcalf. He's in the reverse choke hold here. Anyone
knows football, knows that just know a little bit about ball,
and so this is a contract year, and yet he
has been underutilized recently. Metcalf was averaging six or below
targets per game over the final nine games. So he's like,
all right, is my time to get paid and you
(05:57):
usuld get paid before your deal runs out.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
So this is the chance, and we expect you will
get paid.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
And even then the box scorers will skyrocket up.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Up and away.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
When he finally does escape from the team not trying
to win, pretty sad. I feel bad for the the
Seahawks supporters because that team is there in Suckville all
right now, speaking of that, who's in, who's in, and
who's out on the DK Metcalf sweepstakes.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
So let's use some soupology, if you will. Here, several
teams are starving for receiver.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
We know a lot of these teams are out the
teams that already have the big time receiver who are
contenders because you really can't have more than one and
a half.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Of those guys.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
So a bowl of soup, though, like DK, is very
valuable to someone who needs nourishment at that position. And
the Mallard crystal ball has the Patriots, the Chargers, and
the Chiefs first in line at the midnight mission to
get that bull of suit. Now, what is Metcalf worth?
He was a second round pick. He's much better than that.
(07:06):
He's a starting receiver. Although you look at the way
he's built like a Donnis and you say he should
be better than he is. But a lot of that,
we believe is because he plays with a crap back
quarterback in the Geno Smith. So A players are worth,
as we've learned over the years, whatever someone is willing
to pay for them, via contract or via a trade.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Now, since DK Metcalf is demanding.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
A giant oil reserve, he wants money, money, money, ry.
He wants that big contract. So he's demanding a big contract.
The compensation will not be as much as you would think.
And I would say most of the time, most of
the time in the NFL, the name brand player is
relocated and they're traded for what you would say is
(07:53):
not equal value. The Seahawks will get at least a
third round pick for DK metcalf. I would think he
is worth more than that, considering his age and the
upside that he has not been able to unleash being
in Seattle with bad quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
All right, now, last word here elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
But we stay with the theme, the theme of the hour,
the wide receiver scheff. We head now to do all
Conny Yeah, Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
And that is where wide receiver Christian Kirk.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Remember this guy came out of nowhere with Arizona and
then signed up at the time a big free agent contract,
big fat, juicy contract with the team in Florida, and
they have now decided to fire him. The clinical term
in sports is you have been released, which is a
softer way of saying you've been fired. You've been like
your services are no longer needed. So Christian Kirk, let
(08:51):
go by the Jaguars. So where does he fall with
all these teams needing receiver help? And where does he
end off up on that wish.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
List for the receiver needy teams?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
So you with Christian Kirk, you go page down, page down,
page down.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
All right, Christian Kirk is roster spam roster.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's like going out to dinner at the cheesecake factory
and you look at the menu at the cheesecake factory
and you're looking for that big pile of Cajun chicken
littles and you're like, well, no, I can't find it.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
But then instead you're actually ordering off the wrong menu.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You're ordering off the skinny delicious portion sizes on the
menu there, and it doesn't leave you satisfied. So injuries,
that's the defense that Christian Kirk will give. The wide
receiver Originally out of Texas, A and M. He's from
Arizona and played for the Cardinals before going.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
To the Jaguars.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
So Christian Kirk is just not able to play very much.
That's that's the issue. You only played eight games in
Jackson last year. It was hurt the year before, so
it's limited to him the last two years. He has
missed a bunch of games with growing problems calf injury,
collar bone this past year. And at his peak he
(10:13):
was a wide receiver two or a wide receiver three
at the peak of his superpowers, that's where he was
in his career. He's averaged six point six targets per game,
which doesn't suck. It's just not that impressive, right, that's
about the player that he is. And so look at
the age thing, not that old. I mean he'll he'll
(10:33):
obviously find a gig, but that's the kind of guy.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
That's the contingency plan. Every team is pinching pennies.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Like a lot of a lot of my guys in
New England are like, well, the Patriots, that's that's he's
gonna They're gonna get Christian Kirk because they don't.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Want to pay anybody. But he's the grill asparagus.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
He's not the main course with all the trimmings and
the things that you really really want. He is the
grilled asparagus. Now, some people say they like grilled asparagus.
I think those people are liars. I don't think anyone
really likes grilled asparagus. I think they say that because
they think it's healthier for them and they want to
look cool. But I don't think anyone goes out of
their way to eat grilldosparagus. And if they do, they
probably have some kind of illness. That's my belief.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
It is not bye bye Baby, it's bye bye Bosa.
What welcome In the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mallor Show. We are in the air everywhere as
we plant a seed. We just stopping by. That's all
(11:40):
we're doing. I'm just stopping by coast, the coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and here catchingly
powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from the drop
as we drop the mic right on your ear drums.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
That's how we roll here.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
We're broadcasting live from the tire ract dot Com studios

thousand recommented installers tyre raq dot com The Way Tire
Buying Show. B I know Supermarket Steve has not put
(12:28):
back ten thousand carts at the grocery store, and he's
the guy behind the big controversy of last year, the
grocery cart controversy.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
I stand with Supermarket Steve.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I'm not going to rehash that controversy, but we'll get
to the meat of the matter here and we'll get
to the lead this hour. The lead this hour is
from Pro Football. The silly season does not end. Shake
up for the Bolts. The power has been turned off
on one of the big players there and soon you
figured it out by now, but perhaps are a little
(13:00):
slow and you have no idea what I'm talking about.
The Chargers have decided a fire. They have fired linebacker
Joey Bosa.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
He gone.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
They said bye bye to the longest tenured player for
the Charges, going back to the days in San Diego.
Joey Bosa out one of the big names in franchise history,
in fact, second all time, Joey Bosa to an old
school San Diego Charger Leslie O'Neill. Good name from football pass.
(13:34):
So the move now to decommission Joey Bosa will save
the team. Twenty five point three million dollars.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
In the salary caps is now.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Remember the salary cap is used as a vessel to
justify any move, positive or negative.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
You just bring up some.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Stupid amount of money and idiots love it.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
They can't get another. Oh, that's why they made them.
Moment makes sense.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
They got rid of him because of twenty five point
three million dollars. Of course, you could also say that
they could have kept Joey Bosa they thought he was good,
but they don't want to say that. So let us
discuss the question. The Chargers have released edge rusher Joey Bosa,
so where does he end up? Let's cut out the
(14:23):
bull crap. Where does he end up? So I've got
my observations here, Hamburger, Helper, Ray, Charles and Windows ten
and we'll combine all of these things together. We're gonna
make the Gobba Gool. We're gonna make the Goba gool.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
All right, So no, I said.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
None, Let's play the match game.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
What do you say? Fun? For all ages?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You immediately eliminate all of the crap bag teams right
right off the top.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
You shave those off the top.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
So bite by Carolina, by By Jacksonville, Arizona, the usual
suspect they're out, and you would expect a world win
courtship period. You would expect that because using the process
of elimination, you want to get in first. Here, you
want to get in first. Free agency begins next week.
Joey Bosa's got a leg up, so you want to
(15:17):
get a team before the other players start taking money.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
And then eliminating opportunities.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Bosa's twenty nine and he is looking for the Hamburger
Helper situation. He wants to just add water and.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Presto. You got a good team. Now.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
The obvious answer here for Joey Bosa on where he's
going to end up is brotherly love. But I'm not
talking about Philadelphia, the law firm, Bosa and Bosa. Is
it not a no brainer? It's got to be a
no brainer, right. If you look at Big Ben's big
board out in front the forty nine ers, the Niners
are the favorite. Now after Frisco, you've got the Lions,
(15:59):
the Chiefs, the Bills, and the Ravens. The other question,
how much does Joey Bosa really give you? Like Bosa
is better in theory than reality, if you will. He
has battled injuries since the twenty twenty one season, the
last time that he played the entire season. So it's
(16:21):
been a minute and Bosa, if you look at the
last three years combined, he's only played twenty eight games.
He's played just fifty four percent, fifty four point nine
percent of the Chargers games the last three years. And
so it's another one of these guys he's he plays
about as much as an NBA player, a lot of
(16:42):
games massed with injury. There's not any level of dependability
at all. Now, page two to the headliners in LA,
not the Chargers, the Rams, And what is GM Less
Snead really saying when he declared that koopp that's a
wide receiver. Cooper Cup returning the Rams is the least
(17:05):
likely scenario next year, So what is he really saying?
So Snead is telegraphing the move the old Oprah model
when someone tells you their plans, believe them, and Less Sneid,
the Rams executive is not planning on having a cup
of t in the future. So really, what he's saying is, listen,
(17:27):
Cooper Cup is a diminished asset. Not only the eyeball test,
but the nerdonomics.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Are not kind.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
And Andy Reid's famous quote film don't Lie, Film don't lie.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Cooper Cup has lost a step. Now you can say
it's not his fault.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Lower body injuries have taken the toll since twenty twenty one,
and that's fine, but we're not looking to assign blame here.
We're just merely saying what it is his ability to
accelerate and more importantly, get open consistently is not there.
He has been significantly less effective in recent years, and
(18:13):
as a result, the Rams are ready to crank up
a classic tune from Ray Charles, and they're going to
send a text to Cooper Cup hit the road, Jack
and don't you come back vers. His name is Cooper's
not Jack, but they'll call him Jack just because the song,
the song really flows, It really does all right now,
final point in a blatant attempt to suck up to
(18:36):
Yaphimi and the other listeners in Chicago. Eugene in Chicago,
and you know who you guys are a busy week
in the Windy City. Dumb Bears. That's the Chicago football team.
They're not hibernating. They have traded a twenty twenty six
fourth round draft pick to Cansa's City regard Joe to
(19:00):
so that move being made now.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
This comes a day after.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
The Bears picked up guard Jonah Jackson from the Rams.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Because you can ram it all day, you can ram
it all night.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Now, the overwhelming reaction has been unbelievably positive. Like o MG,
The Bears now have fixed their offensive line because of
Joe Toney and Jonah Jackson. So are the Bears yet
again winning the offseason with the addition of a couple
(19:34):
of offensive linemen for quarterback Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
So based on the knee.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Jerk reactions that are out there, Chicago has a three peat.
They are going for their third consecutive off season dominance.
Remember back in twenty twenty three, Justin Fields won the
offseason MVP Award and was the top quarterback. People were
actually betting on Justin Fields to be the MVP. Talk
(20:03):
about the power of the sports media. And then in
twenty twenty four we had Caleb Williams was the number
one overall pick. People are excited about that and some
of the other Boster moves the Bears got.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
They were loaded.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
So they won the offseason and now here we are
in twenty twenty five. The Bears have fixed their offensive
line according to the geniuses, and they hired Boy Wonder
as their coach Ben Johnson, and so with Johnson and
the offensive line, that's a win. Of course, we know
all of this is poppycock, and here's why it's poppycock.
(20:39):
It does not address the preexisting condition.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Sacks. I know dumb people don't get this.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
But sacks are more about the quarterback than the offensive line.
And I also get a kick when people suddenly are
experts on the efficiency of a Jonah Jackson or Joe Tooney,
like you're watching and you really know what you're watching
on the offensive line, Come on, But sacks are more
about the quarterback than the offensive line. So the problem
(21:09):
is Kayler Williams has its pre existing conditions, and it's
a condition. It's like having Windows ten back in the day,
very slow processor. You need to update the software, you
need to reboot the computer. Now, what is my evidence?
According to the NFL stats, the next Gen stats, Caleb
Williams was the sixth slowest.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Full time NFL quarterback and releasing the ball.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
The only regular quarterbacks that got rid of the ball
slower than Kayler Williams were CJ. Stroud in Houston, Sam
Darnold in Minnesota, Jalen Hurtz, and Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
That's it. Well, a lot of those guys had good years.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Okay, Well, none of them were sacked sixty eight times.
And in the case of Lamar Jackson, he holds the
ball for too long. But he has become a ninja,
an absolute ninja at sack avoidance, which is a thing
calob You breathe on him and he's humpty dumpty and
(22:15):
he comes falling.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Down, down, down, down, down, down down down.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
To the third degree? This is one Big.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Ben gets grilled Googlo.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Davante Adams is a free agent for the first time
in his career, and a return to the Packers is
the betting favorite for his next destination. However, some think
he'll land wherever Aaron Rodgers goes, which certainly won't be
with Green Bay. Ben, where are you putting your money?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, So this is where it gets complicated because DeVante
Adams would have to go back to the Raiders. At
this point, at this hour, I think the Aaron Rodgers
to the the Raiders story is gonna happen. But DeVante
Adams was there. He wasn't happy. He wanted to be traded.
So but I that's the team. So if he's following Rogers,
DeVante Adams, you got to go back to the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
How awkward is that gonna be? Next?
Speaker 4 (23:17):
With the Lakers having won seven straight games and moving
into the number two seed in the West, do you
think Lebron James will start creeping into the MVP discussion?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Coop stop of your fanboy questions, No, it's a shay
Gil he should No shay gyogas Alexander has already wrapped
up the MVP award. That's former Clipper shay gyogis Alexander
of OKC. It's not even closed. Uh, We'll playing Kawhi.
That was Kawhi's decision next.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Steve kerkwent on a long rant after the Warriors win
on Tuesday, saying the NBA officials do not focus on
footwork enough and miss five to six travels a game. Now, Ben,
do you think we'll see the league put an emphasis
on enforcing this anytime soon?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Listen, no, because every star player runs two or three
step and Lebron James is like running track and field
with the basketball. Dribbling is optional. The NBA is pretty
much admitted they don't really care. All of a sudden,
Steve Kerr cares about travel calls in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Howpathetic is that? How did we do Coop you failed
this edition? That is a win. N Oh, you are
such a fanboy. You are such a brown noser.

For the rest of the hour.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
And we send the mic over to the hoop de loop,
as Marcel calls him with the reading of the questions.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
All right, Ben, We're.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Gonna start off with a question from Timothy from n
k Y.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
And this northern Kentucky, yeah, or southern Ohio?
Speaker 4 (25:20):
You know, yeah, because he's got an Ohio state picture.
This is a classic question, but I can't recall ever
answering it since Larena has been on the show. Timothy
would like to know what's everyone's favorite cookie?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, so I love cookies. I'm you know.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Cookie Monster was one of my heroes when I was
growing up, so I always respected the cookie. But the
classic chocolate chip. You can't go wrong with the classic
chocolate chip.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Soft and gooey and OOI gooey goodness is the way
to go. But you know, I'm trying to think of
like a cookie I don't like.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
There's some that aren't as popular as the other ones,
but my go to is the chocolate chip. And then
I've made I've done a lot of these rip off
cookies from what's that crumble cookie place? Yeah, where they
put frosting on them, and those I'd like. A strawberry
frosting cookie was pretty good, but basic chocolate chip.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
What about you, Lorena?
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Well, seasonally I love a gingerbread cookie and it has
to be done right, it has to be soft. But
I love a good gingerbread cookie. But for my regular Uh,
there was this place when I was a kid. They
had the best sugar cookies I had ever had in
my life. They have the nice little sprinkles on top
and the pink frosting that doesn't taste like strawberries. It's
(26:36):
just pink frosting. But it was the most classic sugar
cookie and that I would eat every day.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
That's solid.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
There used to be a place and I think they
close now called snookies Cookies.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Lendale and that they were.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Awesome that cookie, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
When I covered the clippers, they used to drop they
dropped a box of these cookies off and there were
no media covering the clippers, so we took like boxes,
like literal like half a box of cookies.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I take home. That's all I got, so fat. What
about you, Coop Well?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Your favorite cookie snickerdoodle? Definitely by far by far Well.
I mean, look, chocolate chip is great. Love chocolate chip,
that's the standard. But I'm weird at chocolate chip. I
like chocolate chip with sparse chocolate chips. There can be
too much chocolate for me.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
The ratio is yeah, I got you, all right, it
is asked, Ben, Your questions are answers.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
By the way, this guy, Chris G.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
From Whynona, Minnesota, wants a shout out. We don't do shoutouts.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Chris G.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
From Winona, Minnesota got out, sorry, dude, we're not doing that.
I don't care that you love the show, you like
Lorraina and all that.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I don't care. We're not doing shoutouts, So screw you.
Chris G. From Minona, Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Next, so, Tony and the Bay would like to know
I Tony. He said, what is the most difficult thing
you've attempted to eat while driving? And Lorena, keep it clean?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
You know, I I'm this is gonna be a terrible answer.
But I hate eating in the car while I'm driving
because I especially now as I've gotten because I only
eat like once a day. So for me, I want
it's like a big event when I eat, so I
don't eat in the car.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Plus I hate having to clean the car out now.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
When my younger days, I would end up eating half
the bag of fast food on the way home. But
you know, it is not easy to eat like a hamburger.
But that's about it. I mean you because you got
to have the hand on the steering wheel you're driving,
you gotta have a hand with the burger in it.
But that's I don't think i've eaten anything like I've
not eaten like Chinese food where you gotta have the
fork in your hand and all.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
I haven't done that. What about you, Lorena?
Speaker 5 (28:39):
My favorite thing would probably be like French fries of
some sort, right, something easy. It's my favorite one to eat.
Everything else is too messy.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I don't like the most difficult thing.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Is that thing was everyone knows fries are easy.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Tacos tacos tacos because you know, the lettuce just falls everywhere.
They're just you got you gotta have the right when
you go in to bite the taco. You got to
tilt your head right, and if you don't, then you
make a huge mess. No good, no good.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
People hate that. Yeah, all right, Coop, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
I gotta agree with Lorena. I have, like I've always
taken a lot of pride in my car that I've owned,
and so I don't like eating while driving because it's
just too risky. Uh So I'll usually keep it to
just like a you know, like a cheeseburger for McDonald's.
But I have attempted to do a double decker Taco
Supreme while driving. It's difficult.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, also the cone from McDonald's because it oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
That I have done that and I still I still
do that.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I've done it too. But the problem is you got
to it's you gotta be strategic. You got to lick around.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
The base of the code because you do no no,
because one.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Drops this show.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
No, but it gets in your hands and it's messy.
You know what's next, Coopl.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Sorry, but Noah and Austin wants to know, what is
the first music album that you purchased?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Oh? It was it? Oh man, it was it Tower
Records in Hollywood. Uh no, it was maybe the one.
I don't, I don't. It might have been like Hooty
in the Blowfish or something. I don't know. What about
you write a Ques Here's Baby one More Time album?
Coop with my Own Money, Lincoln Park.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Oh, Link with your own Money, Coop a loop all
growing up with there?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I missed Tower Records. That was a cool record. Do
I sound like a thousand years old saying target Tower Records?
I think I did.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Ract dot Com The Way tire buying SHOWB. So our
lead this hour is from the daily soap opera, that
is the wide receiver position. We're gonna go to the
Pacific Northwest here and if you're keeping score, a name
has entered into the transfer portal, which makes it enjoyable, right.
(02:05):
We love roster moves, people moving to different teams. It's
good for talk radio. And so another name has popped up,
disgruntled NFL player of the hour.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
And we head now to the Seattle area.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
We've learned now that Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf
has said no moss to the Seattle football team. He
has requested a trade as far away from the Pacific
Northwest as he can get. He prefers to be traded
to a team that's actually trying to win, unlike the Seahawks.
(02:41):
The demand was made after a series of clandestine conversations
over the past couple of weeks, and so it came
the same day the Seahawks announced that they were also
firing the franchise legend fellow receiver Tyler Lockett for SNA
nine grata anymore. He's out and so expected his release
(03:07):
was expected. The DK Metcalf we expected it, but apparently
other people did not. The Seattle football team is likely
to capitulate and they will work to facilitate a trade
of their disgruntled past catcher. So let us discuss the question.
What does DK Metcalf asking for a trade from the Seahawks?
(03:30):
What does it signify to you? So I've got hobby, lobby,
midnight mission, and cheesecake factory. We'll combine all of these
things together. We're gonna make some gulash, is what we're
going to do. We're gonna make some gulash. So a
it signifies a predictable outcome, one of the few things
(03:50):
that is easily predictable. And will the last person leaving
Seattle turn out the last the parties over?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Now?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
We tried to warn our friends like crime Craig, JJ
and Ranton and no stradinas we tried to warn them
those that are sleepless in Seattle. They called me crazy,
They made fun of me, they pointed fingers at me,
and who goofed?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I've got to know now, I'm not here to do
a victory lap.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I don't want to do that, but I just want
to point out DK Metcalf by this move It also
signifies a vote of no confidence.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
To Gino Smith.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Gino Smith is who he thought he was, and also
the coaching staff with Mike McDonald and the other coaches
in Seattle, because Metcalf said he wants to play for
a contender and he knows Gino Smith is not a
championship quarterback. He is aware that Mike McDonald is nothing
special as a coach.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So outside of that, it is a clerical movie. DK's
essentially going down.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
To hobby Lobby and he's buying the Bob Ross paint
by Numbers kit and he's just filling in with his
He's got his crayons and he's just kind of filling
that in there.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's it's merely the next step in the process. It's
the chot chot shot.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Right, You perform a little rock step with your right
to the left, and that's how the whole thing gets started.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
But this has been bubbling up.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
DK Metcalf was upset about being marginalized, as we've talked
about in previous shows by the middling Dodoo Birds and
their roster. Yeah, they're no longer the Dodo Birds, they're
the Doodoo Birds. So playing that that Geno Smith and
continuing to play Geno Smith has harpoon the production of
(05:37):
DK Metcalf. He's in the reverse choke hold here. Anyone
knows football, knows that just know a little bit about ball,
and so this is a contract year, and yet he
has been underutilized recently. Metcalf was averaging six or below
targets per game over the final nine games. So he's like,
all right, is my time to get paid and you
(05:57):
usuld get paid before your deal runs out.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
So this is the chance, and we expect you will
get paid.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
And even then the box scorers will skyrocket up.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Up and away.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
When he finally does escape from the team not trying
to win, pretty sad. I feel bad for the the
Seahawks supporters because that team is there in Suckville all
right now, speaking of that, who's in, who's in, and
who's out on the DK Metcalf sweepstakes.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
So let's use some soupology, if you will. Here, several
teams are starving for receiver.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
We know a lot of these teams are out the
teams that already have the big time receiver who are
contenders because you really can't have more than one and
a half.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Of those guys.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
So a bowl of soup, though, like DK, is very
valuable to someone who needs nourishment at that position. And
the Mallard crystal ball has the Patriots, the Chargers, and
the Chiefs first in line at the midnight mission to
get that bull of suit. Now, what is Metcalf worth?
He was a second round pick. He's much better than that.
(07:06):
He's a starting receiver. Although you look at the way
he's built like a Donnis and you say he should
be better than he is. But a lot of that,
we believe is because he plays with a crap back
quarterback in the Geno Smith. So A players are worth,
as we've learned over the years, whatever someone is willing
to pay for them, via contract or via a trade.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Now, since DK Metcalf is demanding.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
A giant oil reserve, he wants money, money, money, ry.
He wants that big contract. So he's demanding a big contract.
The compensation will not be as much as you would think.
And I would say most of the time, most of
the time in the NFL, the name brand player is
relocated and they're traded for what you would say is
(07:53):
not equal value. The Seahawks will get at least a
third round pick for DK metcalf. I would think he
is worth more than that, considering his age and the
upside that he has not been able to unleash being
in Seattle with bad quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
All right, now, last word here elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
But we stay with the theme, the theme of the hour,
the wide receiver scheff. We head now to do all
Conny Yeah, Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
And that is where wide receiver Christian Kirk.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Remember this guy came out of nowhere with Arizona and
then signed up at the time a big free agent contract,
big fat, juicy contract with the team in Florida, and
they have now decided to fire him. The clinical term
in sports is you have been released, which is a
softer way of saying you've been fired. You've been like
your services are no longer needed. So Christian Kirk, let
(08:51):
go by the Jaguars. So where does he fall with
all these teams needing receiver help? And where does he
end off up on that wish.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
List for the receiver needy teams?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
So you with Christian Kirk, you go page down, page down,
page down.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
All right, Christian Kirk is roster spam roster.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's like going out to dinner at the cheesecake factory
and you look at the menu at the cheesecake factory
and you're looking for that big pile of Cajun chicken
littles and you're like, well, no, I can't find it.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
But then instead you're actually ordering off the wrong menu.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You're ordering off the skinny delicious portion sizes on the
menu there, and it doesn't leave you satisfied. So injuries,
that's the defense that Christian Kirk will give. The wide
receiver Originally out of Texas, A and M. He's from
Arizona and played for the Cardinals before going.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
To the Jaguars.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
So Christian Kirk is just not able to play very much.
That's that's the issue. You only played eight games in
Jackson last year. It was hurt the year before, so
it's limited to him the last two years. He has
missed a bunch of games with growing problems calf injury,
collar bone this past year. And at his peak he
(10:13):
was a wide receiver two or a wide receiver three
at the peak of his superpowers, that's where he was
in his career. He's averaged six point six targets per game,
which doesn't suck. It's just not that impressive, right, that's
about the player that he is. And so look at
the age thing, not that old. I mean he'll he'll
(10:33):
obviously find a gig, but that's the kind of guy.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
That's the contingency plan. Every team is pinching pennies.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Like a lot of a lot of my guys in
New England are like, well, the Patriots, that's that's he's
gonna They're gonna get Christian Kirk because they don't.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Want to pay anybody. But he's the grill asparagus.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
He's not the main course with all the trimmings and
the things that you really really want. He is the
grilled asparagus. Now, some people say they like grilled asparagus.
I think those people are liars. I don't think anyone
really likes grilled asparagus. I think they say that because
they think it's healthier for them and they want to
look cool. But I don't think anyone goes out of
their way to eat grilldosparagus. And if they do, they
probably have some kind of illness. That's my belief.

(12:28):
back ten thousand carts at the grocery store, and he's
the guy behind the big controversy of last year, the
grocery cart controversy.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
I stand with Supermarket Steve.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I'm not going to rehash that controversy, but we'll get
to the meat of the matter here and we'll get
to the lead this hour. The lead this hour is
from Pro Football. The silly season does not end. Shake
up for the Bolts. The power has been turned off
on one of the big players there and soon you
figured it out by now, but perhaps are a little
(13:00):
slow and you have no idea what I'm talking about.
The Chargers have decided a fire. They have fired linebacker
Joey Bosa.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
He gone.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
They said bye bye to the longest tenured player for
the Charges, going back to the days in San Diego.
Joey Bosa out one of the big names in franchise history,
in fact, second all time, Joey Bosa to an old
school San Diego Charger Leslie O'Neill. Good name from football pass.
(13:34):
So the move now to decommission Joey Bosa will save
the team. Twenty five point three million dollars.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
In the salary caps is now.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Remember the salary cap is used as a vessel to
justify any move, positive or negative.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
You just bring up some.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Stupid amount of money and idiots love it.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
They can't get another. Oh, that's why they made them.
Moment makes sense.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
They got rid of him because of twenty five point
three million dollars. Of course, you could also say that
they could have kept Joey Bosa they thought he was good,
but they don't want to say that. So let us
discuss the question. The Chargers have released edge rusher Joey Bosa,
so where does he end up? Let's cut out the
(14:23):
bull crap. Where does he end up? So I've got
my observations here, Hamburger, Helper, Ray, Charles and Windows ten
and we'll combine all of these things together. We're gonna
make the Gobba Gool. We're gonna make the Goba gool.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
All right, So no, I said.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
None, Let's play the match game.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
What do you say? Fun? For all ages?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You immediately eliminate all of the crap bag teams right
right off the top.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
You shave those off the top.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
So bite by Carolina, by By Jacksonville, Arizona, the usual
suspect they're out, and you would expect a world win
courtship period. You would expect that because using the process
of elimination, you want to get in first. Here, you
want to get in first. Free agency begins next week.
Joey Bosa's got a leg up, so you want to
(15:17):
get a team before the other players start taking money.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
And then eliminating opportunities.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Bosa's twenty nine and he is looking for the Hamburger
Helper situation. He wants to just add water and.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Presto. You got a good team. Now.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
The obvious answer here for Joey Bosa on where he's
going to end up is brotherly love. But I'm not
talking about Philadelphia, the law firm, Bosa and Bosa. Is
it not a no brainer? It's got to be a
no brainer, right. If you look at Big Ben's big
board out in front the forty nine ers, the Niners
are the favorite. Now after Frisco, you've got the Lions,
(15:59):
the Chiefs, the Bills, and the Ravens. The other question,
how much does Joey Bosa really give you? Like Bosa
is better in theory than reality, if you will. He
has battled injuries since the twenty twenty one season, the
last time that he played the entire season. So it's
(16:21):
been a minute and Bosa, if you look at the
last three years combined, he's only played twenty eight games.
He's played just fifty four percent, fifty four point nine
percent of the Chargers games the last three years. And
so it's another one of these guys he's he plays
about as much as an NBA player, a lot of
(16:42):
games massed with injury. There's not any level of dependability
at all. Now, page two to the headliners in LA,
not the Chargers, the Rams, And what is GM Less
Snead really saying when he declared that koopp that's a
wide receiver. Cooper Cup returning the Rams is the least
(17:05):
likely scenario next year, So what is he really saying?
So Snead is telegraphing the move the old Oprah model
when someone tells you their plans, believe them, and Less Sneid,
the Rams executive is not planning on having a cup
of t in the future. So really, what he's saying is, listen,
(17:27):
Cooper Cup is a diminished asset. Not only the eyeball test,
but the nerdonomics.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Are not kind.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
And Andy Reid's famous quote film don't Lie, Film don't lie.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Cooper Cup has lost a step. Now you can say
it's not his fault.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Lower body injuries have taken the toll since twenty twenty one,
and that's fine, but we're not looking to assign blame here.
We're just merely saying what it is his ability to
accelerate and more importantly, get open consistently is not there.
He has been significantly less effective in recent years, and
(18:13):
as a result, the Rams are ready to crank up
a classic tune from Ray Charles, and they're going to
send a text to Cooper Cup hit the road, Jack
and don't you come back vers. His name is Cooper's
not Jack, but they'll call him Jack just because the song,
the song really flows, It really does all right now,
final point in a blatant attempt to suck up to
(18:36):
Yaphimi and the other listeners in Chicago. Eugene in Chicago,
and you know who you guys are a busy week
in the Windy City. Dumb Bears. That's the Chicago football team.
They're not hibernating. They have traded a twenty twenty six
fourth round draft pick to Cansa's City regard Joe to
(19:00):
so that move being made now.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
This comes a day after.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
The Bears picked up guard Jonah Jackson from the Rams.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Because you can ram it all day, you can ram
it all night.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Now, the overwhelming reaction has been unbelievably positive. Like o MG,
The Bears now have fixed their offensive line because of
Joe Toney and Jonah Jackson. So are the Bears yet
again winning the offseason with the addition of a couple
(19:34):
of offensive linemen for quarterback Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
So based on the knee.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Jerk reactions that are out there, Chicago has a three peat.
They are going for their third consecutive off season dominance.
Remember back in twenty twenty three, Justin Fields won the
offseason MVP Award and was the top quarterback. People were
actually betting on Justin Fields to be the MVP. Talk
(20:03):
about the power of the sports media. And then in
twenty twenty four we had Caleb Williams was the number
one overall pick. People are excited about that and some
of the other Boster moves the Bears got.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
They were loaded.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
So they won the offseason and now here we are
in twenty twenty five. The Bears have fixed their offensive
line according to the geniuses, and they hired Boy Wonder
as their coach Ben Johnson, and so with Johnson and
the offensive line, that's a win. Of course, we know
all of this is poppycock, and here's why it's poppycock.
(20:39):
It does not address the preexisting condition.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Sacks. I know dumb people don't get this.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
But sacks are more about the quarterback than the offensive line.
And I also get a kick when people suddenly are
experts on the efficiency of a Jonah Jackson or Joe Tooney,
like you're watching and you really know what you're watching
on the offensive line, Come on, But sacks are more
about the quarterback than the offensive line. So the problem
(21:09):
is Kayler Williams has its pre existing conditions, and it's
a condition. It's like having Windows ten back in the day,
very slow processor. You need to update the software, you
need to reboot the computer. Now, what is my evidence?
According to the NFL stats, the next Gen stats, Caleb
Williams was the sixth slowest.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Full time NFL quarterback and releasing the ball.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
The only regular quarterbacks that got rid of the ball
slower than Kayler Williams were CJ. Stroud in Houston, Sam
Darnold in Minnesota, Jalen Hurtz, and Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
That's it. Well, a lot of those guys had good years.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Okay, Well, none of them were sacked sixty eight times.
And in the case of Lamar Jackson, he holds the
ball for too long. But he has become a ninja,
an absolute ninja at sack avoidance, which is a thing
calob You breathe on him and he's humpty dumpty and
(22:15):
he comes falling.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Down, down, down, down, down, down down down.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

To the third degree? This is one Big.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Ben gets grilled Googlo.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Davante Adams is a free agent for the first time
in his career, and a return to the Packers is
the betting favorite for his next destination. However, some think
he'll land wherever Aaron Rodgers goes, which certainly won't be
with Green Bay. Ben, where are you putting your money?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, So this is where it gets complicated because DeVante
Adams would have to go back to the Raiders. At
this point, at this hour, I think the Aaron Rodgers
to the the Raiders story is gonna happen. But DeVante
Adams was there. He wasn't happy. He wanted to be traded.
So but I that's the team. So if he's following Rogers,
DeVante Adams, you got to go back to the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
How awkward is that gonna be? Next?
Speaker 4 (23:17):
With the Lakers having won seven straight games and moving
into the number two seed in the West, do you
think Lebron James will start creeping into the MVP discussion?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Coop stop of your fanboy questions, No, it's a shay
Gil he should No shay gyogas Alexander has already wrapped
up the MVP award. That's former Clipper shay gyogis Alexander
of OKC. It's not even closed. Uh, We'll playing Kawhi.
That was Kawhi's decision next.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Steve kerkwent on a long rant after the Warriors win
on Tuesday, saying the NBA officials do not focus on
footwork enough and miss five to six travels a game. Now, Ben,
do you think we'll see the league put an emphasis
on enforcing this anytime soon?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Listen, no, because every star player runs two or three
step and Lebron James is like running track and field
with the basketball. Dribbling is optional. The NBA is pretty
much admitted they don't really care. All of a sudden,
Steve Kerr cares about travel calls in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (24:17):

this edition? That is a win. N Oh, you are
such a fanboy. You are such a brown noser.

your questions are answers for the rest of the hour.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
For the rest of the hour.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
And we send the mic over to the hoop de loop,
as Marcel calls him with the reading of the questions.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
All right, Ben, We're.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Gonna start off with a question from Timothy from n
k Y.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
And this northern Kentucky, yeah, or southern Ohio?
Speaker 4 (25:20):
You know, yeah, because he's got an Ohio state picture.
This is a classic question, but I can't recall ever
answering it since Larena has been on the show. Timothy
would like to know what's everyone's favorite cookie?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, so I love cookies. I'm you know.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Cookie Monster was one of my heroes when I was
growing up, so I always respected the cookie. But the
classic chocolate chip. You can't go wrong with the classic
chocolate chip.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Soft and gooey and OOI gooey goodness is the way
to go. But you know, I'm trying to think of
like a cookie I don't like.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
There's some that aren't as popular as the other ones,
but my go to is the chocolate chip. And then
I've made I've done a lot of these rip off
cookies from what's that crumble cookie place? Yeah, where they
put frosting on them, and those I'd like. A strawberry
frosting cookie was pretty good, but basic chocolate chip.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
What about you, Lorena?
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Well, seasonally I love a gingerbread cookie and it has
to be done right, it has to be soft. But
I love a good gingerbread cookie. But for my regular Uh,
there was this place when I was a kid. They
had the best sugar cookies I had ever had in
my life. They have the nice little sprinkles on top
and the pink frosting that doesn't taste like strawberries. It's
(26:36):
just pink frosting. But it was the most classic sugar
cookie and that I would eat every day.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
That's solid.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
There used to be a place and I think they
close now called snookies Cookies.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Lendale and that they were.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Awesome that cookie, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
When I covered the clippers, they used to drop they
dropped a box of these cookies off and there were
no media covering the clippers, so we took like boxes,
like literal like half a box of cookies.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I take home. That's all I got, so fat. What
about you, Coop Well?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Your favorite cookie snickerdoodle? Definitely by far by far Well.
I mean, look, chocolate chip is great. Love chocolate chip,
that's the standard. But I'm weird at chocolate chip. I
like chocolate chip with sparse chocolate chips. There can be
too much chocolate for me.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
The ratio is yeah, I got you, all right, it
is asked, Ben, Your questions are answers.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
By the way, this guy, Chris G.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
From Whynona, Minnesota, wants a shout out. We don't do shoutouts.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Chris G.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
From Winona, Minnesota got out, sorry, dude, we're not doing that.
I don't care that you love the show, you like
Lorraina and all that.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I don't care. We're not doing shoutouts, So screw you.
Chris G. From Minona, Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Next, so, Tony and the Bay would like to know
I Tony. He said, what is the most difficult thing
you've attempted to eat while driving? And Lorena, keep it clean?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
You know, I I'm this is gonna be a terrible answer.
But I hate eating in the car while I'm driving
because I especially now as I've gotten because I only
eat like once a day. So for me, I want
it's like a big event when I eat, so I
don't eat in the car.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Plus I hate having to clean the car out now.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
When my younger days, I would end up eating half
the bag of fast food on the way home. But
you know, it is not easy to eat like a hamburger.
But that's about it. I mean you because you got
to have the hand on the steering wheel you're driving,
you gotta have a hand with the burger in it.
But that's I don't think i've eaten anything like I've
not eaten like Chinese food where you gotta have the
fork in your hand and all.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
I haven't done that. What about you, Lorena?
Speaker 5 (28:39):
My favorite thing would probably be like French fries of
some sort, right, something easy. It's my favorite one to eat.
Everything else is too messy.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I don't like the most difficult thing.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Is that thing was everyone knows fries are easy.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Tacos tacos tacos because you know, the lettuce just falls everywhere.
They're just you got you gotta have the right when
you go in to bite the taco. You got to
tilt your head right, and if you don't, then you
make a huge mess. No good, no good.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
People hate that. Yeah, all right, Coop, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
I gotta agree with Lorena. I have, like I've always
taken a lot of pride in my car that I've owned,
and so I don't like eating while driving because it's
just too risky. Uh So I'll usually keep it to
just like a you know, like a cheeseburger for McDonald's.
But I have attempted to do a double decker Taco
Supreme while driving. It's difficult.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, also the cone from McDonald's because it oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
That I have done that and I still I still
do that.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I've done it too. But the problem is you got
to it's you gotta be strategic. You got to lick around.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
The base of the code because you do no no,
because one.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Drops this show.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
No, but it gets in your hands and it's messy.
You know what's next, Coopl.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Sorry, but Noah and Austin wants to know, what is
the first music album that you purchased?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Oh? It was it? Oh man, it was it Tower
Records in Hollywood. Uh no, it was maybe the one.
I don't, I don't. It might have been like Hooty
in the Blowfish or something. I don't know. What about
you write a Ques Here's Baby one More Time album?
Coop with my Own Money, Lincoln Park.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Oh, Link with your own Money, Coop a loop all
growing up with there?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I missed Tower Records. That was a cool record. Do
I sound like a thousand years old saying target Tower Records?
I think I did.
