• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Ract dot Com The Way tire buying SHOWB. So our
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: lead this hour is from the daily soap opera, that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: is the wide receiver position. We're gonna go to the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest here and if you're keeping score, a name
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: has entered into the transfer portal, which makes it enjoyable, right.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: We love roster moves, people moving to different teams. It's
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: good for talk radio. And so another name has popped up,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: disgruntled NFL player of the hour.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: And we head now to the Seattle area.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: We've learned now that Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: has said no moss to the Seattle football team. He
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: has requested a trade as far away from the Pacific
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Northwest as he can get. He prefers to be traded
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to a team that's actually trying to win, unlike the Seahawks.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: The demand was made after a series of clandestine conversations
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: over the past couple of weeks, and so it came
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the same day the Seahawks announced that they were also
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: firing the franchise legend fellow receiver Tyler Lockett for SNA
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: nine grata anymore. He's out and so expected his release
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: was expected. The DK Metcalf we expected it, but apparently
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: other people did not. The Seattle football team is likely
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to capitulate and they will work to facilitate a trade
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of their disgruntled past catcher. So let us discuss the question.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: What does DK Metcalf asking for a trade from the Seahawks?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: What does it signify to you? So I've got hobby, lobby,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: midnight mission, and cheesecake factory. We'll combine all of these
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: things together. We're gonna make some gulash, is what we're
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: going to do. We're gonna make some gulash. So a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it signifies a predictable outcome, one of the few things
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that is easily predictable. And will the last person leaving
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Seattle turn out the last the parties over?
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: We tried to warn our friends like crime Craig, JJ
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and Ranton and no stradinas we tried to warn them
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: those that are sleepless in Seattle. They called me crazy,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: They made fun of me, they pointed fingers at me,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and who goofed?
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I've got to know now, I'm not here to do
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: a victory lap.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do that, but I just want
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to point out DK Metcalf by this move It also
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: signifies a vote of no confidence.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: To Gino Smith.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Gino Smith is who he thought he was, and also
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the coaching staff with Mike McDonald and the other coaches
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: in Seattle, because Metcalf said he wants to play for
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a contender and he knows Gino Smith is not a
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: championship quarterback. He is aware that Mike McDonald is nothing
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: special as a coach.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: So outside of that, it is a clerical movie. DK's
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: essentially going down.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: To hobby Lobby and he's buying the Bob Ross paint
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: by Numbers kit and he's just filling in with his
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: He's got his crayons and he's just kind of filling
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that in there.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: It's it's merely the next step in the process. It's
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: the chot chot shot.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Right, You perform a little rock step with your right
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to the left, and that's how the whole thing gets started.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: But this has been bubbling up.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: DK Metcalf was upset about being marginalized, as we've talked
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: about in previous shows by the middling Dodoo Birds and
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: their roster. Yeah, they're no longer the Dodo Birds, they're
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the Doodoo Birds. So playing that that Geno Smith and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: continuing to play Geno Smith has harpoon the production of
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. He's in the reverse choke hold here. Anyone
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: knows football, knows that just know a little bit about ball,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and so this is a contract year, and yet he
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: has been underutilized recently. Metcalf was averaging six or below
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: targets per game over the final nine games. So he's like,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: all right, is my time to get paid and you
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: usuld get paid before your deal runs out.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: So this is the chance, and we expect you will
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: get paid.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And even then the box scorers will skyrocket up.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Up and away.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: When he finally does escape from the team not trying
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to win, pretty sad. I feel bad for the the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Seahawks supporters because that team is there in Suckville all
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: right now, speaking of that, who's in, who's in, and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: who's out on the DK Metcalf sweepstakes.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: So let's use some soupology, if you will. Here, several
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: teams are starving for receiver.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: We know a lot of these teams are out the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: teams that already have the big time receiver who are
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: contenders because you really can't have more than one and
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: a half.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Of those guys.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So a bowl of soup, though, like DK, is very
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: valuable to someone who needs nourishment at that position. And
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the Mallard crystal ball has the Patriots, the Chargers, and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs first in line at the midnight mission to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: get that bull of suit. Now, what is Metcalf worth?
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: He was a second round pick. He's much better than that.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: He's a starting receiver. Although you look at the way
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: he's built like a Donnis and you say he should
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: be better than he is. But a lot of that,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: we believe is because he plays with a crap back
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: quarterback in the Geno Smith. So A players are worth,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: as we've learned over the years, whatever someone is willing
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to pay for them, via contract or via a trade.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Now, since DK Metcalf is demanding.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: A giant oil reserve, he wants money, money, money, ry.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: He wants that big contract. So he's demanding a big contract.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: The compensation will not be as much as you would think.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And I would say most of the time, most of
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the time in the NFL, the name brand player is
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: relocated and they're traded for what you would say is
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: not equal value. The Seahawks will get at least a
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: third round pick for DK metcalf. I would think he
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: is worth more than that, considering his age and the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: upside that he has not been able to unleash being
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: in Seattle with bad quarterbacks.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: All right, now, last word here elsewhere.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: But we stay with the theme, the theme of the hour,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the wide receiver scheff. We head now to do all
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Conny Yeah, Jacksonville.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: And that is where wide receiver Christian Kirk.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Remember this guy came out of nowhere with Arizona and
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: then signed up at the time a big free agent contract,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: big fat, juicy contract with the team in Florida, and
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: they have now decided to fire him. The clinical term
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: in sports is you have been released, which is a
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: softer way of saying you've been fired. You've been like
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: your services are no longer needed. So Christian Kirk, let
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: go by the Jaguars. So where does he fall with
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: all these teams needing receiver help? And where does he
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: end off up on that wish.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: List for the receiver needy teams?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So you with Christian Kirk, you go page down, page down,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: page down.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: All right, Christian Kirk is roster spam roster.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: It's like going out to dinner at the cheesecake factory
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and you look at the menu at the cheesecake factory
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and you're looking for that big pile of Cajun chicken
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: littles and you're like, well, no, I can't find it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: But then instead you're actually ordering off the wrong menu.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: You're ordering off the skinny delicious portion sizes on the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: menu there, and it doesn't leave you satisfied. So injuries,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that's the defense that Christian Kirk will give. The wide
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: receiver Originally out of Texas, A and M. He's from
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Arizona and played for the Cardinals before going.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: To the Jaguars.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: So Christian Kirk is just not able to play very much.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: That's that's the issue. You only played eight games in
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Jackson last year. It was hurt the year before, so
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: it's limited to him the last two years. He has
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: missed a bunch of games with growing problems calf injury,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: collar bone this past year. And at his peak he
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: was a wide receiver two or a wide receiver three
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: at the peak of his superpowers, that's where he was
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: in his career. He's averaged six point six targets per game,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: which doesn't suck. It's just not that impressive, right, that's
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: about the player that he is. And so look at
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the age thing, not that old. I mean he'll he'll
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: obviously find a gig, but that's the kind of guy.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: That's the contingency plan. Every team is pinching pennies.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Like a lot of a lot of my guys in
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: New England are like, well, the Patriots, that's that's he's
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: gonna They're gonna get Christian Kirk because they don't.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Want to pay anybody. But he's the grill asparagus.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: He's not the main course with all the trimmings and
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the things that you really really want. He is the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: grilled asparagus. Now, some people say they like grilled asparagus.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I think those people are liars. I don't think anyone
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: really likes grilled asparagus. I think they say that because
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: they think it's healthier for them and they want to
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: look cool. But I don't think anyone goes out of
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: their way to eat grilldosparagus. And if they do, they
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: probably have some kind of illness. That's my belief.

  Speaker 1: Buying Show. B I know Supermarket Steve has not put
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: back ten thousand carts at the grocery store, and he's
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the guy behind the big controversy of last year, the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: grocery cart controversy.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I stand with Supermarket Steve.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to rehash that controversy, but we'll get
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to the meat of the matter here and we'll get
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: to the lead this hour. The lead this hour is
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: from Pro Football. The silly season does not end. Shake
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: up for the Bolts. The power has been turned off
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: on one of the big players there and soon you
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: figured it out by now, but perhaps are a little
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: slow and you have no idea what I'm talking about.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: The Chargers have decided a fire. They have fired linebacker
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Joey Bosa.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: He gone.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: They said bye bye to the longest tenured player for
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the Charges, going back to the days in San Diego.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Joey Bosa out one of the big names in franchise history,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: in fact, second all time, Joey Bosa to an old
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: school San Diego Charger Leslie O'Neill. Good name from football pass.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: So the move now to decommission Joey Bosa will save
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the team. Twenty five point three million dollars.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: In the salary caps is now.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Remember the salary cap is used as a vessel to
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: justify any move, positive or negative.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: You just bring up some.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Stupid amount of money and idiots love it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: They can't get another. Oh, that's why they made them.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Moment makes sense.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: They got rid of him because of twenty five point
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: three million dollars. Of course, you could also say that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: they could have kept Joey Bosa they thought he was good,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: but they don't want to say that. So let us
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: discuss the question. The Chargers have released edge rusher Joey Bosa,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: so where does he end up? Let's cut out the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: bull crap. Where does he end up? So I've got
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: my observations here, Hamburger, Helper, Ray, Charles and Windows ten
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and we'll combine all of these things together. We're gonna
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: make the Gobba Gool. We're gonna make the Goba gool.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: All right, So no, I said.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: None, Let's play the match game.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: What do you say? Fun? For all ages?
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: You immediately eliminate all of the crap bag teams right
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: right off the top.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: You shave those off the top.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: So bite by Carolina, by By Jacksonville, Arizona, the usual
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: suspect they're out, and you would expect a world win
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: courtship period. You would expect that because using the process
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: of elimination, you want to get in first. Here, you
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: want to get in first. Free agency begins next week.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Joey Bosa's got a leg up, so you want to
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: get a team before the other players start taking money.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: And then eliminating opportunities.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Bosa's twenty nine and he is looking for the Hamburger
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Helper situation. He wants to just add water and.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Presto. You got a good team. Now.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: The obvious answer here for Joey Bosa on where he's
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: going to end up is brotherly love. But I'm not
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: talking about Philadelphia, the law firm, Bosa and Bosa. Is
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: it not a no brainer? It's got to be a
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: no brainer, right. If you look at Big Ben's big
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: board out in front the forty nine ers, the Niners
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: are the favorite. Now after Frisco, you've got the Lions,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the Bills, and the Ravens. The other question,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: how much does Joey Bosa really give you? Like Bosa
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: is better in theory than reality, if you will. He
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: has battled injuries since the twenty twenty one season, the
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: last time that he played the entire season. So it's
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: been a minute and Bosa, if you look at the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: last three years combined, he's only played twenty eight games.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: He's played just fifty four percent, fifty four point nine
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: percent of the Chargers games the last three years. And
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: so it's another one of these guys he's he plays
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: about as much as an NBA player, a lot of
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: games massed with injury. There's not any level of dependability
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: at all. Now, page two to the headliners in LA,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: not the Chargers, the Rams, And what is GM Less
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Snead really saying when he declared that koopp that's a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: wide receiver. Cooper Cup returning the Rams is the least
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: likely scenario next year, So what is he really saying?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: So Snead is telegraphing the move the old Oprah model
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: when someone tells you their plans, believe them, and Less Sneid,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the Rams executive is not planning on having a cup
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: of t in the future. So really, what he's saying is, listen,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is a diminished asset. Not only the eyeball test,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: but the nerdonomics.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Are not kind.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And Andy Reid's famous quote film don't Lie, Film don't lie.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Cooper Cup has lost a step. Now you can say
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: it's not his fault.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Lower body injuries have taken the toll since twenty twenty one,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and that's fine, but we're not looking to assign blame here.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: We're just merely saying what it is his ability to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: accelerate and more importantly, get open consistently is not there.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: He has been significantly less effective in recent years, and
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: as a result, the Rams are ready to crank up
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: a classic tune from Ray Charles, and they're going to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: send a text to Cooper Cup hit the road, Jack
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and don't you come back vers. His name is Cooper's
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: not Jack, but they'll call him Jack just because the song,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the song really flows, It really does all right now,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: final point in a blatant attempt to suck up to
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Yaphimi and the other listeners in Chicago. Eugene in Chicago,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: and you know who you guys are a busy week
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: in the Windy City. Dumb Bears. That's the Chicago football team.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: They're not hibernating. They have traded a twenty twenty six
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: fourth round draft pick to Cansa's City regard Joe to
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: so that move being made now.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: This comes a day after.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: The Bears picked up guard Jonah Jackson from the Rams.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Because you can ram it all day, you can ram
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: it all night.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Now, the overwhelming reaction has been unbelievably positive. Like o MG,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: The Bears now have fixed their offensive line because of
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Joe Toney and Jonah Jackson. So are the Bears yet
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: again winning the offseason with the addition of a couple
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: of offensive linemen for quarterback Caleb Williams.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: So based on the knee.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Jerk reactions that are out there, Chicago has a three peat.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: They are going for their third consecutive off season dominance.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Remember back in twenty twenty three, Justin Fields won the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: offseason MVP Award and was the top quarterback. People were
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: actually betting on Justin Fields to be the MVP. Talk
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: about the power of the sports media. And then in
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four we had Caleb Williams was the number
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: one overall pick. People are excited about that and some
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: of the other Boster moves the Bears got.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: They were loaded.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: So they won the offseason and now here we are
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. The Bears have fixed their offensive
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: line according to the geniuses, and they hired Boy Wonder
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: as their coach Ben Johnson, and so with Johnson and
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the offensive line, that's a win. Of course, we know
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: all of this is poppycock, and here's why it's poppycock.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: It does not address the preexisting condition.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Sacks. I know dumb people don't get this.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: But sacks are more about the quarterback than the offensive line.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: And I also get a kick when people suddenly are
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: experts on the efficiency of a Jonah Jackson or Joe Tooney,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: like you're watching and you really know what you're watching
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: on the offensive line, Come on, But sacks are more
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: about the quarterback than the offensive line. So the problem
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: is Kayler Williams has its pre existing conditions, and it's
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: a condition. It's like having Windows ten back in the day,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: very slow processor. You need to update the software, you
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: need to reboot the computer. Now, what is my evidence?
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: According to the NFL stats, the next Gen stats, Caleb
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Williams was the sixth slowest.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Full time NFL quarterback and releasing the ball.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: The only regular quarterbacks that got rid of the ball
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: slower than Kayler Williams were CJ. Stroud in Houston, Sam
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Darnold in Minnesota, Jalen Hurtz, and Lamar Jackson.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: That's it. Well, a lot of those guys had good years.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, none of them were sacked sixty eight times.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And in the case of Lamar Jackson, he holds the
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: ball for too long. But he has become a ninja,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: an absolute ninja at sack avoidance, which is a thing
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: calob You breathe on him and he's humpty dumpty and
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: he comes falling.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Down, down, down, down, down, down down down.
• 22:20

• 22:28
  Speaker 2: To the third degree? This is one Big.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Ben gets grilled Googlo.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Davante Adams is a free agent for the first time
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: in his career, and a return to the Packers is
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: the betting favorite for his next destination. However, some think
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: he'll land wherever Aaron Rodgers goes, which certainly won't be
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: with Green Bay. Ben, where are you putting your money?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So this is where it gets complicated because DeVante
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Adams would have to go back to the Raiders. At
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: this point, at this hour, I think the Aaron Rodgers
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: to the the Raiders story is gonna happen. But DeVante
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Adams was there. He wasn't happy. He wanted to be traded.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: So but I that's the team. So if he's following Rogers,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: DeVante Adams, you got to go back to the Raiders.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: How awkward is that gonna be? Next?
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: With the Lakers having won seven straight games and moving
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: into the number two seed in the West, do you
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: think Lebron James will start creeping into the MVP discussion?
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Coop stop of your fanboy questions, No, it's a shay
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Gil he should No shay gyogas Alexander has already wrapped
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: up the MVP award. That's former Clipper shay gyogis Alexander
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: of OKC. It's not even closed. Uh, We'll playing Kawhi.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: That was Kawhi's decision next.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Steve kerkwent on a long rant after the Warriors win
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: on Tuesday, saying the NBA officials do not focus on
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: footwork enough and miss five to six travels a game. Now, Ben,
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: do you think we'll see the league put an emphasis
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: on enforcing this anytime soon?
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: No?
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Listen, no, because every star player runs two or three
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: step and Lebron James is like running track and field
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: with the basketball. Dribbling is optional. The NBA is pretty
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: much admitted they don't really care. All of a sudden,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Steve Kerr cares about travel calls in the NBA.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Howpathetic is that? How did we do Coop you failed
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: this edition? That is a win. N Oh, you are
• 24:24

• 25:20
  Speaker 4: You know, yeah, because he's got an Ohio state picture.

  Speaker 4: This is a classic question, but I can't recall ever
• 25:29

  Speaker 4: would like to know what's everyone's favorite cookie?
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I love cookies. I'm you know.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Cookie Monster was one of my heroes when I was
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: growing up, so I always respected the cookie. But the
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: classic chocolate chip. You can't go wrong with the classic
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: chocolate chip.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Soft and gooey and OOI gooey goodness is the way
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: to go. But you know, I'm trying to think of
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: like a cookie I don't like.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: There's some that aren't as popular as the other ones,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: but my go to is the chocolate chip. And then
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I've made I've done a lot of these rip off
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: cookies from what's that crumble cookie place? Yeah, where they
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: put frosting on them, and those I'd like. A strawberry
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: frosting cookie was pretty good, but basic chocolate chip.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: What about you, Lorena?
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Well, seasonally I love a gingerbread cookie and it has
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: to be done right, it has to be soft. But
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: I love a good gingerbread cookie. But for my regular Uh,
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: there was this place when I was a kid. They
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: had the best sugar cookies I had ever had in
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: my life. They have the nice little sprinkles on top
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: and the pink frosting that doesn't taste like strawberries. It's
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: just pink frosting. But it was the most classic sugar
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: cookie and that I would eat every day.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: That's solid.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: There used to be a place and I think they
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: close now called snookies Cookies.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Lendale and that they were.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: Awesome that cookie, that's for sure.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: When I covered the clippers, they used to drop they
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: dropped a box of these cookies off and there were
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: no media covering the clippers, so we took like boxes,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: like literal like half a box of cookies.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: I take home. That's all I got, so fat. What
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: about you, Coop Well?
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Your favorite cookie snickerdoodle? Definitely by far by far Well.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, look, chocolate chip is great. Love chocolate chip,
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: that's the standard. But I'm weird at chocolate chip. I
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: like chocolate chip with sparse chocolate chips. There can be
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: too much chocolate for me.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: The ratio is yeah, I got you, all right, it
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: is asked, Ben, Your questions are answers.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: By the way, this guy, Chris G.

• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Chris G. From Minona, Minnesota.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Next, so, Tony and the Bay would like to know
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: I Tony. He said, what is the most difficult thing
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: you've attempted to eat while driving? And Lorena, keep it clean?
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: You know, I I'm this is gonna be a terrible answer.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: But I hate eating in the car while I'm driving
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: because I especially now as I've gotten because I only
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: eat like once a day. So for me, I want
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: it's like a big event when I eat, so I
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: don't eat in the car.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Plus I hate having to clean the car out now.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: When my younger days, I would end up eating half
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the bag of fast food on the way home. But
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: you know, it is not easy to eat like a hamburger.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: But that's about it. I mean you because you got
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: to have the hand on the steering wheel you're driving,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: you gotta have a hand with the burger in it.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: But that's I don't think i've eaten anything like I've
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: not eaten like Chinese food where you gotta have the
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: fork in your hand and all.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I haven't done that. What about you, Lorena?
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: My favorite thing would probably be like French fries of
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: some sort, right, something easy. It's my favorite one to eat.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: Everything else is too messy.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: I don't like the most difficult thing.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Is that thing was everyone knows fries are easy.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: Tacos tacos tacos because you know, the lettuce just falls everywhere.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: They're just you got you gotta have the right when
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: you go in to bite the taco. You got to
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: tilt your head right, and if you don't, then you
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: make a huge mess. No good, no good.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: People hate that. Yeah, all right, Coop, go ahead.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: I gotta agree with Lorena. I have, like I've always
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: taken a lot of pride in my car that I've owned,
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: and so I don't like eating while driving because it's
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: just too risky. Uh So I'll usually keep it to
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: just like a you know, like a cheeseburger for McDonald's.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: But I have attempted to do a double decker Taco
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Supreme while driving. It's difficult.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, also the cone from McDonald's because it oh yeah.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: That I have done that and I still I still
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: do that.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I've done it too. But the problem is you got
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to it's you gotta be strategic. You got to lick around.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: The base of the code because you do no no,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: because one.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: Drops this show.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: No, but it gets in your hands and it's messy.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: You know what's next, Coopl.
