Owen Maddock: What’s up, guys? Welcome back to another podcast of “Rapid Fire.” I’m your host, Owen Maddock. Today we have a very special guest, Beans.
Ben (Beans): Hello, guys. I’m Beans.
Owen Maddock: Ben, introduce yourself.
Ben: Hi, my name’s Ben. I go to Clayton High School. I’m a freshman.
Owen Maddock: Do you do any sports at Clayton?
Ben: Yeah, I do baseball in the spring, but I’ve been doing workouts with the coach.
Owen Maddock: Getting ready for baseball?
Ben: Yeah.
Owen Maddock: So, with becoming a freshman and all that, what’s the best part about high school?
Ben: Probably the Greyhound time—the free time. I really like hanging out with my friends.
Owen Maddock: What do you do during Greyhound time?
Ben: I play basketball and get Subway.
Owen Maddock: Speaking of Subway, what’s your go-to order?
Ben: Low key, I just get a large Sprite. I don’t really get any of the food because I’m not a big Subway fan.
Owen Maddock: Let’s get into some rapid fire questions. To start off, what’s your favorite color?
Ben: Blue.
Owen Maddock: What do you like about blue?
Ben: It’s blue.
Owen Maddock: What’s your favorite video game?
Ben: Probably Rocket League because I play with my friends.
Owen Maddock: Someone told me you’re “buns” at Rocket League. Is that true?
Ben: No, that is not true.
Owen Maddock: I heard you got scored on seven times in a row by Owen—I mean, CT 2004 Banff. Is that true?
Ben: I don’t remember this.
Owen Maddock: Hank, did that happen?
Hank: Yes, it did.
Owen Maddock: I heard you took straight belt. Same with the game we all play together—Apex. I heard you take belt in Apex Legends too. Is that true?
Ben: I’m actually the highest level out of everyone in the friend group who plays, so I don’t want to hear that.
Owen Maddock: Is that true? Does he get put on belt by CT 2004 Banff?
Hank: No.
Owen Maddock: Does CT 2004 Banff take belt?
Hank: Yes.
Owen Maddock: Wow, that’s sad. What’s your dream job?
Ben: To be honest, I haven’t really thought about this, but if I had to do any job, it would probably be a truck driver. Just chilling in the truck and driving.
Owen Maddock: What makes you want to be a truck driver?
Ben: I don’t really have to listen to anyone while I’m driving. I can enjoy the view by myself for a long time.
Owen Maddock: What if you get a co-partner, though?
Ben: I’ll tell him to get out of my truck. I run that for real.
Owen Maddock: What’s your dream college?
Ben: Texas A&M. When I started following college football and baseball, I just really liked the name.
Owen Maddock: You like the name, but you know they’re hot buns, right?
Ben: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Owen Maddock: You listen to music, right? What’s your favorite genre?
Ben: Probably hip hop.
Owen Maddock: Do you have a favorite singer?
Ben: Favorite music artist is probably Mac Miller.
Owen Maddock: What’s one of your favorite songs?
Ben: I don’t really have a favorite song. I have a favorite album, though: Swimming.
Owen Maddock: I haven’t listened to that yet. All right, well, that should wrap it up for “Rapid Fire.” I’m your host, Owen Maddock, and thank you to our guest, Ben Shanker.
Ben: Yep, thank you for having me on.
