talking foot ball right in plain sight as we talk football.
It is NFL Draft Day and one of the key
fun things about the draft trades, trades, trades, trade trade, trade,
straight trades. One of the big names tossed out on
(00:22):
the trading block, said to be from Pittsburgh. Why why
would the Steelers consider trading wide receiver George Pickens?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
We'll discuss that. What is George Pickens.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Worth on the market and who would trade for him?

Blake Snell in Dodger Land. They were just swept by
the Cubs. We'll talk about all of that and more

the studio. Yeah they're bright. Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page
presented by Express Po. So our lead this hour is
from the Pigskin Grapevine. Today is today. Now not only
do you have that NFL Draft, but you also have
the informed speculation around veteran players being relocated. There's been
(03:09):
a lot of chatter that Kirk Cousins is a player
to keep an eye on here in this draft. Now,
not likely today because he wants to wait and see
which teams draft a quarterback in the first round. However,
there's a chance that he ends up being traded this weekend.
Whether that's to Tennessee or to Pittsburgh or Cleveland or
(03:31):
Minnesota or the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who knows. But there's
another name that is more intriguing at this moment.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Who's rough and ready. And if you hadn't seen this,
maybe not maybe you missed it.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Wide receiver George Pickens. Is it true. The Steelers have
a burning desire to get rid of Pickens now. Pickens
is currently at the center of a whirlwind of trade
speculation as the twenty twenty five draft takes place today.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
There's a lot of smoke, is there fire?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
The Steelers have always been a conservative, buttoned up franchise.
They don't make waves. They don't make waves like this.
This would be a make a wave situation. So the
chatter indicates that the Steelers are considering saying bye bye
the George Pickens. And there are various teams including the Packers,
(04:29):
the Jets, several other teams, the Cardinals, a bunch of
Raiders who have been mentioned showing interest in acquiring the
rather quirky pass catcher. So let us discuss the question
why why would the Steelers even consider trading George Pickens.
They went out and got DK metcalf. See, you're loading
(04:51):
up at the wide receiver position, so why would they
consider trading in Pittsburgh George Pickens. I have the scientific
formula Horndag and Daniel Caesar, and we will put all
of these things together and make the alphabet Olympics is
what we're going to make. The alphabet Olympics. All right,
So first of all, it's really not that complicated on
(05:16):
this side of the microphones is not that complicated.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
George Pickens is an acquired.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Taste and he's had inconsistent performances overall.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
He said, well, the numbers are pretty good. Their mouthwatering.
He's not for everyone, though.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And you look at the Steelers organize zashan the organizational
philosophy of the Steelers, and then I mentioned they're conservative,
they're buttoned up and all that. But I have noticed
over here is Mike Tomlin has a formula, the Yinser
scientific formula, if you will.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's the Steeler way or the highway.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And what that means is if you're a knucklehead, like
they had Antonio Brown, They've had Leveon Bell passed through there.
They've had some real wackadoodles that have played in Pittsburgh.
But it's always the case, and it's not just in Pittsburgh.
The scientific formula is, when your production outweighs the aggravation,
you keep the player. When the aggravation outweighs the production,
(06:12):
you get rid of the player. Okay, so that is
the basic scientific formula on when to keep a player
and when to get rid of a player. And Pickens
has a rap sheet of on field and off field
incidents that have raised eyebrows, and there has been consternation
about whether or not it's it's worth it right.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I don't know if you want to bring up.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
The culture of the Steelers, but what is my supporting evidence?
Let me make my supporting evidence claim here, So I'll
give you some examples. You've got multiple times where George
Pickens has had lackluster performances in terms of effort. There
have been clips that have gone viral of him not blocking,
of him not hustling. Now, from a talk radio standpoint,
(06:59):
he's really good for business. And George Pickens is good
for one or two times a year posting something on
social media hitting that hinting that he is not happy,
that he's dissatisfied, that he has an issue with the franchise,
whether it's free Me, which he posted on Instagram, or
a random photo with Tom Brady which seemingly indicated he
(07:22):
wanted to play with Tom Brady's team, the Raiders, or
was that he wanted to play.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
With the Patriots. Either way, it was like a random
Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Evin You've had temper tantrums, hissy fits during games. He's
been called out by teammates, current teammates, former teammates. But wait,
there's more.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I'm not done. You think I'm not done.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
No, you think I'm not done.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So I mentioned DK Metcalf and this was the big pickup.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
DK Metcalf coming over from the Seattle football team that's
completely given up as no Stordinas would admit they're not
trying to win, not trying to win. So anyway, when
you signed Sam Darley, we know you're not trying to Lienly.
Of course, they had a quarterback Gino Smith who blows also,
so they got Pittsburgh DK Metcalf from Seattle, a proven
(08:11):
deep threat. However, if you're a side by side comparison
DK Metcalf and George Pickens, there's a lot of similarity.
Metcalf's a better player. He's a flawed player also. But
the point is, if you have both Pickens and Metcalf,
that is an abundance of riches. You don't necessarily need
to keep George Pickens because you added DK Metcalf. And
(08:35):
here's the main point. George Pickens is entering the final
year of his rookie contract. Oh my god, final year
of his rookie contract. And he has set to hit
unrestricted free agency in twenty twenty six. So you know
what that means. Two words hold in. There's a lot
(08:56):
of chatter that he is planning a hold in during
training camp to demand a new contract. Not a holdout
because you get fine. You can't do a holdout hold in. Now,
Mike Tomlin has publicly stated has publicly stated that Pickens
needs to grow up, right, He said that you need
to grow up and he suggested that and just set it.
(09:16):
And so that indicates with all of these variables, you
put all the biscuits in the basket and it's a tinderbox.
So if you're if you're steals, you trade him now,
you would maximize value before he would leave and he
would go somewhere else in free agency and you'd get
some comp compensation pick And that's that all right now.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Secondly, so what is George Pickens worth.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
On the market If today is the day and it's
draft day and we got a deal, we got a deal.
Let's try to guess.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I am not an NFL talent evaluator, but I do
play one on the radio. And I am a distant
relative of Noster Domas and friend of Denus. So here's
what I see, my crystal ball. I see George Pickens
being worth at the very high end, very high end,
a second round pick, more likely a third round pick,
(10:10):
and another draft pick that's more realistic what you're gonna
get because he's got one year left and then you
got to pay him. So that's what I see that.
But here's the good news for the Steels. You got
a lot of not corn dogs, horn dogs. You got
a lot of teams out there that are horny to
get their hands on a big time, big play pass
catching deep thread.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
And I mentioned some of them, the Jets.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
The Raiders, the Packers, the Titans, et cetera. So classic
change of scenery. Guy, But which team should be at
the frontal line? Which team should be at the frontal line?
To take a look at George Pickens? And that is
rather simple. The Patsy's the New England Patriots. That's the
team now you look around him. The Jets, the Packers,
(10:54):
the title.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
The Patriots, New England.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Why all right, there's indications that he'd be willing to
play there and be open to it because he thinks
he'd be the top receiver and get the ball fed
to him a lot. But Mike Vrabel needs to mark
his territory like a dog, and the Patriots are still
devoid of town. They added a hobbled Stefawn Diggs this
offseason who is not going to be ready for the
(11:20):
start of the year, so the Patriots they have to weaponize.
They think Drake may is really good. We don't know
that yet. He hasn't played enough, hasn't shown enough to
give you a great indication he's going to be the
next great young quarterback. So they have to insulate him
and weaponize the roster so you can get George Pickens.
You're gonna add a receiver anyway for the Patriots in
this draft, why not trade a second round pick for
(11:43):
I would say a sure thing, Not that George Pickens
is a sure thing, because I'm still not one hundred
percent in on Pickens. He at times is a train wreck,
but you know he's going to put some numbers up.
You also know he's gonna cause you a lot of
heartache and whatnot because he'll do crazy stuff and he
wants to get paid and all that. All right, now,
(12:04):
final thought, we move away, we move away from the NFL,
We go to baseball as we balance the scales right
now in the idiot box by request.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Now, it's several of our listeners.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
In Chicago who are like, dude, you're gonna break down
the Cubs sweeping the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And if this had been in October, I would have
done that.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
It's April.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
So with apologies to Tree in Chicago, you Femi, and
all you other guys you know who you are, I
will not be doing a full deep dive on the
downfall of Dodgers. It does appear just watching, you know,
mostly watch the basketball. I flipped over to the Dodger
Cubs game. It looked like there were mostly Dodger fans
there at Wrigley Field. The Dodger fan base took over Chicago,
(12:50):
which is great for the Cubs.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
They don't care who's there of the Cubs. They just
want the.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Money and it's a good way to pack the house
on a random midweek game. But the story here for
the Dodgers, the greatest team ever assembled, they're having.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Some issues right now.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
They're having some issues and Dave Roberts I really liked
him in that spot. Dave Roberts tells us that Blake
Snell has been given a setback and he's been sent
back to the injury tent. Now Snell he's the former
cy Young Winner and enemy combatant of the mal of Militia.
(13:27):
Blake Snell did not feel great, did not feel great
after playing catch.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
This was earlier this week and is going to be
now shut down from throwing.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
They were trying to build him up to come back,
and now they've said we're going to take him out
of the throwing and he will get more imaging done.
When they get back to LA, he'll have his shoulder
looked at, which is not a great sign. So what
is your appraisal of this latest Blake Snell injury setback
(13:58):
in Dodgertown? Say, so it is my appraisal? Is it
is true to form? True to form? We talked about
Blake Snell in a previous episode of the show and
I referenced this.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
It is the Daniel.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Caesar song Superpowers from years ago. There this is his superpower,
Blake Snell. Right in keeping with the scouting report, Blake
Snell gets hurt last year. He claimed the reason he
got hurt because of limited spring training.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He signed late with the Giants. We knew that was nonsense. Bro,
I'm risking my life.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Brow.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
That's Blake Snell. It's kind of like if you buy
a land Rover.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I've never owned a land Rover, but I have friends
that have had them, and they break down all the time.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Right, So if you buy a car.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
That's going to break down all the time, just expect
to send it to the shop and it's going.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
To cost you four hundred, five hundred dollars every time
you go to the shop.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
That's essentially Blake Snell.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Snell has had at least seven trips to the dl
as we used call it the disabled This now woke
Shre's changed the name of that with some injuries that
keep happening over and over and over again. And this
is not a case where he can use his default excuse.
Blake Snell's default excuse is I'm not playing unless I
get mine.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Well, Blake Snell got paid one hundred and eighty two
million from the Dodgers and we aren't even out of April.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I assume we'd make it at least into May.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
We are not even out of April and already this
is turning into a disaster. And Blake Snell, who's got
a lot, uh you should have been a basketball player,
a lot of Anthony Davis, a lot of Kawhi Leonard
type tendencies.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
He's just not a tough guy.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
He's a softy and he gets hurt all the time,
and he's just a guy you want to cheer against now,
and I hate guys like that on teams I like,
but I'm not upset when when Blake Snell doesn't pitch.
I'm okay with that. I'd rather the Dodgers win without
Blake Snell. I want Blake Snell to be out for
an extended period of time. I just don't like watching
the guy. He's a bad dude. He's the kind of
(16:02):
guy in sports. I'm talking from his sports standpoint that
makes you not want to watch sports. People like Blake
Snell are just bad for sports. And so if he
happens to miss a bunch of time, that's not the
worst thing in the world. That's not the worst thing
in the world.
Speaker 2 (16:17):

You will get none of them right.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Wait, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I know you're gonna be here.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I don't I don't check the schedule.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Geez, you scared me, I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I don't know. We do have ass man that'll be
coming up in a little b let's say calls though. And
see the thing with the hair replacement, you know, I'm
a little light up top myself here with the hair.
But the thing about it, I've known dudes that get
hair replacement and then they get bullied. Oh you got
hair replacement, So it's like you can't win, dude, you
know what I mean. It's like one of those weird doings.
You can't really wait because then people make fun of
(24:17):
you for doing that.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
See it's like I feel okay. So there's a there's
a couple different in like instances here. You've either got
the celebrity who does it, and then they like make
a deal with you know whoever did it, so then
they become kind of like the you know the face
or like it right. And then you've got guys who
were like totally obviously bald and they have to admit
(24:38):
to it because how else did that happen if it
was me? The the ideal situation is you do it
before you get totally bald. Yeah, and then you don't
have to say anything anybody like why would you even
reveal it right completely.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Agree. Yeah, about a doubt. I mean there was a
when I got into the business. There was a guy
in LA that was on TV who we knew he
he had issues, and then all of a sudden he
had like a full full header. But back when I
was younger, they had the like the two pay thing,
and they were like not good two pays. I mean,
they have good two pays now, but they had like
(25:14):
really bad two pays. And when I was a kid
and they it was very awkward because you knew, you
knew that it just.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Was not a not a real authentic thing.

Ay, let's go to the phones and let's say hello

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Man.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
Besides, I'm not that into myself anybody, I'm not. I'm
not that.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
You've given up on life, drum. You know, you don't
care about your bedraggled, you don't care about your parents, nobody.
You don't go out, you don't spend money on anything,
so you don't care.
Speaker 9 (25:54):
No, I love my I love my mom. You know
my mom was my world, man, So don't say that.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
No, No, I know, I don't.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I didn't. I did not mention your mom.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I did not mention your mom at all.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I never said that parents. As I listen, I'm I'm
a mama's boy too, So I get you there, I'm
right there.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
Well, I'm not a mama's boy. Mama's boy, don't go
in the military and surfer man. Don't give me that
mama's boy.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Oh see, now you're all defensive. What is wrong with
being a mama's boy? Why is that a problem? Why
are you triggered by being a mama's boy? Is what
is the problem that to call.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Me her baby? You know? But I told her don't
ever call me that in public?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
All right?
Speaker 9 (26:33):
That just three to two of us, you know, destinate.
But hey, but I gotta tell you this, Joe Manola
whatever his name is. But the subics that God rubs
me the wrong way. Percy's yelling that and telling them
to get up, get up, get up, and the guys
hurt damn, and uh, there's nothing but torzan because the
(26:54):
the you know, I was singing ball to God that
used to be uh a boxer to nickname him to
be young, that they all bleeder. This man was Chuck Webner.
Maybe Zinger Corzingis was doing this inner Chuck Webner kind
of deal hard with the bleeding and stuff. God, Man,
that must have been horrible because I couldn't even watch that.
(27:14):
I didn't even watch that game I did. I don't
even need to watch that. Orlando's not even going to
show up. Man, this thing is over with. This is
a rap. I want to see the Celtics when they
have to play someone that's gonna have some pushback on them,
you know, because I still think the chance they're gonna
be in the championship team, you know, I mean the
championship final. But when they got to play it like
(27:36):
a team like Oklahoma City but all those bodies, that's
when we're gonna really find out how good Joe Mizzola is.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Because I don't knows.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
The Celtics are fine if.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
They if they make if they make shots, me, it's like, yeah,
they shoot too many three pointers. But if they make
them and they make a lot of them, if they're fine.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
So yeah, But hey, I don't know if he's the
next next Live Brown. I respect Larry Brown. Okay, Light
Brown took a Detroit team that was like had a
lot of back you know, they didn't have a star.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, I get you. But he's writing his story. He
hasn't coached that long. You don't really know like what's
going on. So he's still developing his resume.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
Look, the only reason he got that job because the
Houston coach couldn't keep me, you know what, and you
know where, and they said, you gotta go because you
like harassing women and all that, you gotta go. And
so he's in Houston doing a bang up job to
do the bang up job tonight. But hey, I'm glad
that with Shranglin that he stood up to Dreamond tonight
(28:49):
the last night, because I can't stand Dreamond Green. He
is so Danny man. He's a deep god. He dream
joked and he's always that. But he's always yelling at offishers.
I don't get him.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
He's been doing it.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
He's playing in the NBA for a decade. He's done
the same thing the entire time.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
He just say it's no different, He's no different.
Speaker 9 (29:11):
Yeah, I know, but what happened to that guy said
the Dodgers weren't going to lose a game this year.
That's all. That's all loaded. And now he's going play
a seven hundred million dollar man.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
What's what?
Speaker 9 (29:24):

World Series, you're gonna have Clayton Kershaw and Blake Schnell

Speaker 2 (30:12):
All I know is if they play the Yankees, they'll
beat them.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
So that's all I care about.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Yeah, I know. Let me ask you do you think today,
I'm waiting for a surprise move by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Do you think they're gonna draft Aaron Rodgers today?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
That would be impressive.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
If they draft Aaron Rodgers, that would be pretty cool.
They do.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah, Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. How's that working out? Pattison?
Tell me, tell me.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
And let's see Angry Bill the whole. Let's see Angry
Billet opinion.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
So everyone said Rodgers is waiting until after the draft
to design, So it's is it after the draft?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Angry Bill?
Speaker 1 (30:53):

As Twitter, send us.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Your questions on Twitter. Now it is asked Ben, your
questions are answers for the rest of the hour. The
Scion of Knowledge is activated and we passed the microphone
over to the Cooper loop for the reading of the questions.
These are actual questions by actual listeners who used to
hashtag ass bad.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
All right, We're gonna start off with a question from
Tony in the Bay.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Hi, Tony.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
Now, I feel like I have an advantage because he
told me this a while ago, so I've had time
to think about it. But okay, the question is, would
you rather and this is gonna you have to do
this for the rest of your life? Would you rather
talk like Jack Sparrow or walk like C three po?
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Okay, So I'm I'm an introvert. I don't like to
talk to people other than the job, so I'd be fine.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
That would just give me a reason not to talk
to people.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
So I'd do the talking.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Lorena, I love voices.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
I'd probably do Jack Sparrow for sure.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
You'd like that, Okay, for the rest of your life?
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, I think I'd like it.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Cool.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
So here was my thought.
Speaker 8 (33:48):
If I was single, I would choose the C three
po thing because it's kind of like you could pass
it off as like something's kind of like physically wrong
with you, and you get kind of like sympathy there.
The other one, you're just like a weirdo looking like
Jack Sparrow all the time. But because I'm married, I
would pick the Jack Sparrow one.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Okay, you could say though, to pick up chicks, you
could be like, I'm doing cosplay as Jack.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Yeah, but then but you're always doing it after a
while they'd be like, come on, man, yeah, her point,
but maybe you know, so I would choose. I would
choose the Jack Sparrow one because I'd want my complete mobility.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Still, gotcha? All right, what's the next? Just ask Ben?
Your questions are answers.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
To the rest all the hour.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
All right, now, this is an interesting one.
Speaker 8 (34:29):
We've We've been asked many times what our favorite like
pizza toppings are.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Yeah, but Jared would like.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
To know what are You're from a sandwich shop?
Speaker 6 (34:38):
Yes, what are your favorite nacho toppings?
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:41):
I'm a basic beach with the nachos. I love the
just the cheese and a few halapanos. I'm really I mean,
I've eaten some exotic stuff. I love poutine obviously, which
is not Nacho's. Poutine is not nachos that we're gonna
get that in Vancouver.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
By the way, I'm actually stunned that you like julapanos
on there.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
That is just a little bit. I don't mind, Like
I don't mind to a little bit of hot stuff.
I don't mind. That's pretty much it.
Speaker 8 (35:03):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
I don't know what else you a little piece of
chicken or whatever? No, that's all. What about you, Lorena?
Speaker 5 (35:08):
I like everything on my nachos.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (35:11):
What exactly does that?
Speaker 10 (35:12):
Well?
Speaker 8 (35:12):
But he has what's your favorite? Not your toppings? Like
you have to pick you know, a couple.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Gooey neon, orange cheese.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
Okay, I like obviously the cheese.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
I like refried beans, I likes I.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
Like okay, okay, stop, that's not hurry car.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
He's ruining the show.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I know.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
So my favorites like, I'm like Lorraine, I like them.
Speaker 8 (35:35):
I like all that stuff, but I think the refried
beans and sour cream are are my favorite ones.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Oh my god, so bad.
Speaker 8 (35:45):
Next here's another interesting one, and shockingly enough, it comes
from Gunner.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Uh what where's By the way, I thought he would
call in after game.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (36:00):
I'm curious to see I you guys can even answer this.
What are your top three pastas?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
So my go to is fetuccini alfredo, that's my top
I love fetuccini Alfredo. I like ravioli. That's number two,
and then number three. I don't really have a number three.
I would say spaghetti, but I ate way too much
spaghetti as a kid, so it's not really my number three.
Those are my top two. What about you, Lorrain?
Speaker 5 (36:22):
I like cheese filled noodles.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
So cheese filled ravioli.
Speaker 10 (36:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't like the other ones, I guess,
I guess. I like the rigatoni with the that are
kind of like logs that the sauce can get stuck
in the side.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
Yes, And then I also like the shells.
Speaker 7 (36:38):
I like the pasta shells, and I like when those
are also stuffed with cheese.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
That Cools probably knows more. He's you know, he grew
up eating nothing but pasta.
Speaker 8 (36:46):
Like Yeah, so number one, My number one is rigatoni.
And for the exact reason that Lorena said.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
It's got.
Speaker 8 (36:52):
It's got like the ridges, and it it holds sauce
very well. It's it's like when it's Aldente, it's perfect.
I like FARFALLI, which is the the bow ties, and
then my last one.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
God's truly struggling. Pennay, probably Penny Pennaya.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Very nice?
Speaker 2 (37:12):
What is next year's ask?
Speaker 4 (37:13):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Your questions are answers for our rest of the hour.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
Donkey sausage, Hi, donkey.
Speaker 8 (37:21):
You would like to know has have any of you
ever been diagnosed with sleep apnea?
Speaker 1 (37:27):
No? No, I have not, Lorna.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
No, I do want to do some type of a
sleep thing where they.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Why why do you want to do?
Speaker 2 (37:36):
You think you have sleep happy?
Speaker 8 (37:38):
No?
Speaker 7 (37:38):
But I have really crazy dreams and I want to
see what like the brain activities.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
That actually means that you're a good sleeper.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
I don't remember, I don't I don't go into a
deep sleep like I don't sleeper.
Speaker 8 (37:49):
Let means you enter ram like a lot. No, I
have not been diagnosed with that. Okay, moving on, we
have been Your questions are answered. Josh would like Josh,
you would like to know if you could know the
date of your death?
Speaker 6 (38:04):
Would you want to know what it is?
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Only if I would be immortal till that day? And
here's why I would live a hell of a life.
I would jump out of planes.
Speaker 8 (38:15):
I would do I think theoretically you would be right,
because if you know that you're going to die that day,
you know you're not going to die.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Before that day, Okay, then i'd do that. Sure, why not?
Just hopefully it's not tomorrow.
Speaker 11 (38:24):
I know that's the you know know Lorena, Ah, Yeah,
I mean part part of the mystery, part of the
great thing about life is you don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Yeah, I definitely don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
You know, you might live to be one hundred and
ten or you might be done.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
I used to cry about that in my bed. I
don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah, I got all right?
Speaker 6 (38:49):
Cool, Uh, I think I'm with the raina.
Speaker 8 (38:51):
I wouldn't want to know because it would just it
would give me horrible anxiety and I probably wouldn't be
able to enjoy myself. Yeah, ever, I don't know, unless
unless I found out it was, you know, seventy years
from now or whatever.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
But yeah, yeah, for sure, we all want to live
as long as we can. But you know, you know
you're gonna check out at some point. And you know,
I've gotten older, I've lost a lot of friends and family, whatever.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
So what's next? What do we have here?
Speaker 1 (39:16):
This is depressing.
Speaker 8 (39:18):
The alien wants to know what type of contraband or
souvenirs do you plan on bringing back from the Great
White North.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Cheese doodles? I like that. I mean a lot of poutine.
I've got I got a whole long, a big board
of things I want to do. What about you, Lora?
Speaker 2 (39:31):
But those cheese things are amazing.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
A moose ben, a stuffed animal moose, good luck, Coop.
Speaker 8 (39:39):
It's gonna be expensive to take that on the plane.
I'm gonna go with a white spirit, a White Caps jersey.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Oh yeah, that'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I'll get a hat. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I don't know about jersey. I get like a hat.
That'd be cool.
Boom, shaka Laca. It's our numb birthree, our number three,
talking foot ball right in plain sight as we talk football.
It is NFL Draft Day and one of the key
fun things about the draft trades, trades, trades, trade trade, trade,
straight trades. One of the big names tossed out on
(00:22):
the trading block, said to be from Pittsburgh. Why why
would the Steelers consider trading wide receiver George Pickens?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
We'll discuss that. What is George Pickens.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Worth on the market and who would trade for him?
We'll discuss that, and plus some baseball injury news. What
is your appraisal to the latest setback injury setback for
Blake Snell in Dodger Land. They were just swept by
the Cubs. We'll talk about all of that and more
right now, and also ask Ben this hour as sharp
(00:56):
as a razor here it is our number three. Is
it slim pickings on the trade market? Welmeme? In the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallard Show. We

They spend a lot of money upgrading the lights in
(02:49):
the studio. Yeah they're bright. Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page
presented by Express Po. So our lead this hour is
from the Pigskin Grapevine. Today is today. Now not only
do you have that NFL Draft, but you also have
the informed speculation around veteran players being relocated. There's been
(03:09):
a lot of chatter that Kirk Cousins is a player
to keep an eye on here in this draft. Now,
not likely today because he wants to wait and see
which teams draft a quarterback in the first round. However,
there's a chance that he ends up being traded this weekend.
Whether that's to Tennessee or to Pittsburgh or Cleveland or
(03:31):
Minnesota or the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who knows. But there's
another name that is more intriguing at this moment.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Who's rough and ready. And if you hadn't seen this,
maybe not maybe you missed it.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Wide receiver George Pickens. Is it true. The Steelers have
a burning desire to get rid of Pickens now. Pickens
is currently at the center of a whirlwind of trade
speculation as the twenty twenty five draft takes place today.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
There's a lot of smoke, is there fire?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
The Steelers have always been a conservative, buttoned up franchise.
They don't make waves. They don't make waves like this.
This would be a make a wave situation. So the
chatter indicates that the Steelers are considering saying bye bye
the George Pickens. And there are various teams including the Packers,
(04:29):
the Jets, several other teams, the Cardinals, a bunch of
Raiders who have been mentioned showing interest in acquiring the
rather quirky pass catcher. So let us discuss the question
why why would the Steelers even consider trading George Pickens.
They went out and got DK metcalf. See, you're loading
(04:51):
up at the wide receiver position, so why would they
consider trading in Pittsburgh George Pickens. I have the scientific
formula Horndag and Daniel Caesar, and we will put all
of these things together and make the alphabet Olympics is
what we're going to make. The alphabet Olympics. All right,
So first of all, it's really not that complicated on
(05:16):
this side of the microphones is not that complicated.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
George Pickens is an acquired.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Taste and he's had inconsistent performances overall.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
He said, well, the numbers are pretty good. Their mouthwatering.
He's not for everyone, though.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And you look at the Steelers organize zashan the organizational
philosophy of the Steelers, and then I mentioned they're conservative,
they're buttoned up and all that. But I have noticed
over here is Mike Tomlin has a formula, the Yinser
scientific formula, if you will.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's the Steeler way or the highway.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And what that means is if you're a knucklehead, like
they had Antonio Brown, They've had Leveon Bell passed through there.
They've had some real wackadoodles that have played in Pittsburgh.
But it's always the case, and it's not just in Pittsburgh.
The scientific formula is, when your production outweighs the aggravation,
you keep the player. When the aggravation outweighs the production,
(06:12):
you get rid of the player. Okay, so that is
the basic scientific formula on when to keep a player
and when to get rid of a player. And Pickens
has a rap sheet of on field and off field
incidents that have raised eyebrows, and there has been consternation
about whether or not it's it's worth it right.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I don't know if you want to bring up.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
The culture of the Steelers, but what is my supporting evidence?
Let me make my supporting evidence claim here, So I'll
give you some examples. You've got multiple times where George
Pickens has had lackluster performances in terms of effort. There
have been clips that have gone viral of him not blocking,
of him not hustling. Now, from a talk radio standpoint,
(06:59):
he's really good for business. And George Pickens is good
for one or two times a year posting something on
social media hitting that hinting that he is not happy,
that he's dissatisfied, that he has an issue with the franchise,
whether it's free Me, which he posted on Instagram, or
a random photo with Tom Brady which seemingly indicated he
(07:22):
wanted to play with Tom Brady's team, the Raiders, or
was that he wanted to play.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
With the Patriots. Either way, it was like a random
Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Evin You've had temper tantrums, hissy fits during games. He's
been called out by teammates, current teammates, former teammates. But wait,
there's more.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I'm not done. You think I'm not done.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
No, you think I'm not done.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So I mentioned DK Metcalf and this was the big pickup.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
DK Metcalf coming over from the Seattle football team that's
completely given up as no Stordinas would admit they're not
trying to win, not trying to win. So anyway, when
you signed Sam Darley, we know you're not trying to Lienly.
Of course, they had a quarterback Gino Smith who blows also,
so they got Pittsburgh DK Metcalf from Seattle, a proven
(08:11):
deep threat. However, if you're a side by side comparison
DK Metcalf and George Pickens, there's a lot of similarity.
Metcalf's a better player. He's a flawed player also. But
the point is, if you have both Pickens and Metcalf,
that is an abundance of riches. You don't necessarily need
to keep George Pickens because you added DK Metcalf. And
(08:35):
here's the main point. George Pickens is entering the final
year of his rookie contract. Oh my god, final year
of his rookie contract. And he has set to hit
unrestricted free agency in twenty twenty six. So you know
what that means. Two words hold in. There's a lot
(08:56):
of chatter that he is planning a hold in during
training camp to demand a new contract. Not a holdout
because you get fine. You can't do a holdout hold in. Now,
Mike Tomlin has publicly stated has publicly stated that Pickens
needs to grow up, right, He said that you need
to grow up and he suggested that and just set it.
(09:16):
And so that indicates with all of these variables, you
put all the biscuits in the basket and it's a tinderbox.
So if you're if you're steals, you trade him now,
you would maximize value before he would leave and he
would go somewhere else in free agency and you'd get
some comp compensation pick And that's that all right now.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Secondly, so what is George Pickens worth.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
On the market If today is the day and it's
draft day and we got a deal, we got a deal.
Let's try to guess.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I am not an NFL talent evaluator, but I do
play one on the radio. And I am a distant
relative of Noster Domas and friend of Denus. So here's
what I see, my crystal ball. I see George Pickens
being worth at the very high end, very high end,
a second round pick, more likely a third round pick,
(10:10):
and another draft pick that's more realistic what you're gonna
get because he's got one year left and then you
got to pay him. So that's what I see that.
But here's the good news for the Steels. You got
a lot of not corn dogs, horn dogs. You got
a lot of teams out there that are horny to
get their hands on a big time, big play pass
catching deep thread.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
And I mentioned some of them, the Jets.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
The Raiders, the Packers, the Titans, et cetera. So classic
change of scenery. Guy, But which team should be at
the frontal line? Which team should be at the frontal line?
To take a look at George Pickens? And that is
rather simple. The Patsy's the New England Patriots. That's the
team now you look around him. The Jets, the Packers,
(10:54):
the title.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
The Patriots, New England.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Why all right, there's indications that he'd be willing to
play there and be open to it because he thinks
he'd be the top receiver and get the ball fed
to him a lot. But Mike Vrabel needs to mark
his territory like a dog, and the Patriots are still
devoid of town. They added a hobbled Stefawn Diggs this
offseason who is not going to be ready for the
(11:20):
start of the year, so the Patriots they have to weaponize.
They think Drake may is really good. We don't know
that yet. He hasn't played enough, hasn't shown enough to
give you a great indication he's going to be the
next great young quarterback. So they have to insulate him
and weaponize the roster so you can get George Pickens.
You're gonna add a receiver anyway for the Patriots in
this draft, why not trade a second round pick for
(11:43):
I would say a sure thing, Not that George Pickens
is a sure thing, because I'm still not one hundred
percent in on Pickens. He at times is a train wreck,
but you know he's going to put some numbers up.
You also know he's gonna cause you a lot of
heartache and whatnot because he'll do crazy stuff and he
wants to get paid and all that. All right, now,
(12:04):
final thought, we move away, we move away from the NFL,
We go to baseball as we balance the scales right
now in the idiot box by request.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Now, it's several of our listeners.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
In Chicago who are like, dude, you're gonna break down
the Cubs sweeping the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And if this had been in October, I would have
done that.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
It's April.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
So with apologies to Tree in Chicago, you Femi, and
all you other guys you know who you are, I
will not be doing a full deep dive on the
downfall of Dodgers. It does appear just watching, you know,
mostly watch the basketball. I flipped over to the Dodger
Cubs game. It looked like there were mostly Dodger fans
there at Wrigley Field. The Dodger fan base took over Chicago,
(12:50):
which is great for the Cubs.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
They don't care who's there of the Cubs. They just
want the.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Money and it's a good way to pack the house
on a random midweek game. But the story here for
the Dodgers, the greatest team ever assembled, they're having.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Some issues right now.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
They're having some issues and Dave Roberts I really liked
him in that spot. Dave Roberts tells us that Blake
Snell has been given a setback and he's been sent
back to the injury tent. Now Snell he's the former
cy Young Winner and enemy combatant of the mal of Militia.
(13:27):
Blake Snell did not feel great, did not feel great
after playing catch.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
This was earlier this week and is going to be
now shut down from throwing.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
They were trying to build him up to come back,
and now they've said we're going to take him out
of the throwing and he will get more imaging done.
When they get back to LA, he'll have his shoulder
looked at, which is not a great sign. So what
is your appraisal of this latest Blake Snell injury setback
(13:58):
in Dodgertown? Say, so it is my appraisal? Is it
is true to form? True to form? We talked about
Blake Snell in a previous episode of the show and
I referenced this.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
It is the Daniel.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Caesar song Superpowers from years ago. There this is his superpower,
Blake Snell. Right in keeping with the scouting report, Blake
Snell gets hurt last year. He claimed the reason he
got hurt because of limited spring training.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He signed late with the Giants. We knew that was nonsense. Bro,
I'm risking my life.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Brow.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
That's Blake Snell. It's kind of like if you buy
a land Rover.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I've never owned a land Rover, but I have friends
that have had them, and they break down all the time.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Right, So if you buy a car.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
That's going to break down all the time, just expect
to send it to the shop and it's going.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
To cost you four hundred, five hundred dollars every time
you go to the shop.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
That's essentially Blake Snell.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Snell has had at least seven trips to the dl
as we used call it the disabled This now woke
Shre's changed the name of that with some injuries that
keep happening over and over and over again. And this
is not a case where he can use his default excuse.
Blake Snell's default excuse is I'm not playing unless I
get mine.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Well, Blake Snell got paid one hundred and eighty two
million from the Dodgers and we aren't even out of April.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I assume we'd make it at least into May.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
We are not even out of April and already this
is turning into a disaster. And Blake Snell, who's got
a lot, uh you should have been a basketball player,
a lot of Anthony Davis, a lot of Kawhi Leonard
type tendencies.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
He's just not a tough guy.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
He's a softy and he gets hurt all the time,
and he's just a guy you want to cheer against now,
and I hate guys like that on teams I like,
but I'm not upset when when Blake Snell doesn't pitch.
I'm okay with that. I'd rather the Dodgers win without
Blake Snell. I want Blake Snell to be out for
an extended period of time. I just don't like watching
the guy. He's a bad dude. He's the kind of
(16:02):
guy in sports. I'm talking from his sports standpoint that
makes you not want to watch sports. People like Blake
Snell are just bad for sports. And so if he
happens to miss a bunch of time, that's not the
worst thing in the world. That's not the worst thing
in the world.
Speaker 2 (16:17):

You're supposed to be the Marcel in Brooklyn. And then
you get it right. You have the gall you have

Speaker 2 (23:48):
I know you're gonna be here.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I don't I don't check the schedule.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Geez, you scared me, I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I don't know. We do have ass man that'll be
coming up in a little b let's say calls though. And
see the thing with the hair replacement, you know, I'm
a little light up top myself here with the hair.
But the thing about it, I've known dudes that get
hair replacement and then they get bullied. Oh you got
hair replacement, So it's like you can't win, dude, you
know what I mean. It's like one of those weird doings.
You can't really wait because then people make fun of
(24:17):
you for doing that.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
See it's like I feel okay. So there's a there's
a couple different in like instances here. You've either got
the celebrity who does it, and then they like make
a deal with you know whoever did it, so then
they become kind of like the you know the face
or like it right. And then you've got guys who
were like totally obviously bald and they have to admit
(24:38):
to it because how else did that happen if it
was me? The the ideal situation is you do it
before you get totally bald. Yeah, and then you don't
have to say anything anybody like why would you even
reveal it right completely.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Agree. Yeah, about a doubt. I mean there was a
when I got into the business. There was a guy
in LA that was on TV who we knew he
he had issues, and then all of a sudden he
had like a full full header. But back when I
was younger, they had the like the two pay thing,
and they were like not good two pays. I mean,
they have good two pays now, but they had like
(25:14):
really bad two pays. And when I was a kid
and they it was very awkward because you knew, you
knew that it just.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Was not a not a real authentic thing.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Ay, let's go to the phones and let's say hello
to who do we have any meenie miney moe. Let's say, oh,
just to Jerome and Charleston. Hello, Jerome, bring it home. Jerome.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
I could never do that that head transplant stuff, because
that looks like it's just two dawn painful.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Man.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
Besides, I'm not that into myself anybody, I'm not. I'm
not that.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
You've given up on life, drum. You know, you don't
care about your bedraggled, you don't care about your parents, nobody.
You don't go out, you don't spend money on anything,
so you don't care.
Speaker 9 (25:54):
No, I love my I love my mom. You know
my mom was my world, man, So don't say that.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
No, No, I know, I don't.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I didn't. I did not mention your mom.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I did not mention your mom at all.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I never said that parents. As I listen, I'm I'm
a mama's boy too, So I get you there, I'm
right there.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
Well, I'm not a mama's boy. Mama's boy, don't go
in the military and surfer man. Don't give me that
mama's boy.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Oh see, now you're all defensive. What is wrong with
being a mama's boy? Why is that a problem? Why
are you triggered by being a mama's boy? Is what
is the problem that to call.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Me her baby? You know? But I told her don't
ever call me that in public?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
All right?
Speaker 9 (26:33):
That just three to two of us, you know, destinate.
But hey, but I gotta tell you this, Joe Manola
whatever his name is. But the subics that God rubs
me the wrong way. Percy's yelling that and telling them
to get up, get up, get up, and the guys
hurt damn, and uh, there's nothing but torzan because the
(26:54):
the you know, I was singing ball to God that
used to be uh a boxer to nickname him to
be young, that they all bleeder. This man was Chuck Webner.
Maybe Zinger Corzingis was doing this inner Chuck Webner kind
of deal hard with the bleeding and stuff. God, Man,
that must have been horrible because I couldn't even watch that.
(27:14):
I didn't even watch that game I did. I don't
even need to watch that. Orlando's not even going to
show up. Man, this thing is over with. This is
a rap. I want to see the Celtics when they
have to play someone that's gonna have some pushback on them,
you know, because I still think the chance they're gonna
be in the championship team, you know, I mean the
championship final. But when they got to play it like
(27:36):
a team like Oklahoma City but all those bodies, that's
when we're gonna really find out how good Joe Mizzola is.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Because I don't knows.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
The Celtics are fine if.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
They if they make if they make shots, me, it's like, yeah,
they shoot too many three pointers. But if they make
them and they make a lot of them, if they're fine.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
So yeah, But hey, I don't know if he's the
next next Live Brown. I respect Larry Brown. Okay, Light
Brown took a Detroit team that was like had a
lot of back you know, they didn't have a star.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, I get you. But he's writing his story. He
hasn't coached that long. You don't really know like what's
going on. So he's still developing his resume.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
Look, the only reason he got that job because the
Houston coach couldn't keep me, you know what, and you
know where, and they said, you gotta go because you
like harassing women and all that, you gotta go. And
so he's in Houston doing a bang up job to
do the bang up job tonight. But hey, I'm glad
that with Shranglin that he stood up to Dreamond tonight
(28:49):
the last night, because I can't stand Dreamond Green. He
is so Danny man. He's a deep god. He dream
joked and he's always that. But he's always yelling at offishers.
I don't get him.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
He's been doing it.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
He's playing in the NBA for a decade. He's done
the same thing the entire time.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
He just say it's no different, He's no different.
Speaker 9 (29:11):
Yeah, I know, but what happened to that guy said
the Dodgers weren't going to lose a game this year.
That's all. That's all loaded. And now he's going play
a seven hundred million dollar man.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
What's what?
Speaker 9 (29:24):
What's what's running?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Man?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I don't know, you're all over the place. I gotta
go to your both got in the entire show. What's
wrong with you? Let's go to another man that loves
the steel airtime. I am't heard from this guy in
a while, but he's back. We say hello to Angry
Bill from the Sunshine State. Hello, Angry Bill.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Welcome everybody you're doing tonight.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
There is right there, Angry Bill Jerome.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
You're not a mama's boy, You're a madni's boy. Remember that. Wow. Okay,
now you don't have to worry about the Dodger pitching,
because come the third game and fourth game in the
World Series, you're gonna have Clayton Kershaw and Blake Schnell
ready to pitch for you. They're gonna be all set
to the third and fourth game in the World Series.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
All I know is if they play the Yankees, they'll
beat them.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
So that's all I care about.
Speaker 3 (30:15):

to design, So it's is it after the draft?

Scion of Knowledge is activated and we passed the microphone

These are actual questions by actual listeners who used to

Speaker 6 (33:04):
All right, We're gonna start off with a question from
Tony in the Bay.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Hi, Tony.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
Now, I feel like I have an advantage because he
told me this a while ago, so I've had time
to think about it. But okay, the question is, would
you rather and this is gonna you have to do
this for the rest of your life? Would you rather
talk like Jack Sparrow or walk like C three po?
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Okay, So I'm I'm an introvert. I don't like to
talk to people other than the job, so I'd be fine.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
That would just give me a reason not to talk
to people.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
So I'd do the talking.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Lorena, I love voices.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
I'd probably do Jack Sparrow for sure.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
You'd like that, Okay, for the rest of your life?
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, I think I'd like it.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Cool.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
So here was my thought.
Speaker 8 (33:48):
If I was single, I would choose the C three
po thing because it's kind of like you could pass
it off as like something's kind of like physically wrong
with you, and you get kind of like sympathy there.
The other one, you're just like a weirdo looking like
Jack Sparrow all the time. But because I'm married, I
would pick the Jack Sparrow one.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Okay, you could say though, to pick up chicks, you
could be like, I'm doing cosplay as Jack.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Yeah, but then but you're always doing it after a
while they'd be like, come on, man, yeah, her point,
but maybe you know, so I would choose. I would
choose the Jack Sparrow one because I'd want my complete mobility.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Still, gotcha? All right, what's the next? Just ask Ben?
Your questions are answers.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
To the rest all the hour.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
All right, now, this is an interesting one.
Speaker 8 (34:29):
We've We've been asked many times what our favorite like
pizza toppings are.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Yeah, but Jared would like.

I've eaten some exotic stuff. I love poutine obviously, which
is not Nacho's. Poutine is not nachos that we're gonna
get that in Vancouver.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
By the way, I'm actually stunned that you like julapanos
on there.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
That is just a little bit. I don't mind, Like
I don't mind to a little bit of hot stuff.
I don't mind. That's pretty much it.

Speaker 6 (35:32):
So my favorites like, I'm like Lorraine, I like them.

I love fetuccini Alfredo. I like ravioli. That's number two,
and then number three. I don't really have a number three.
I would say spaghetti, but I ate way too much
spaghetti as a kid, so it's not really my number three.
Those are my top two. What about you, Lorrain?

kind of like logs that the sauce can get stuck
in the side.

Yes, And then I also like the shells.
Speaker 7 (36:38):
I like the pasta shells, and I like when those
are also stuffed with cheese.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
That Cools probably knows more. He's you know, he grew
up eating nothing but pasta.
Speaker 8 (36:46):
Like Yeah, so number one, My number one is rigatoni.
And for the exact reason that Lorena said.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
