Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, our number four
of our radio program, recorded live overnight off the radio,
repackaged here in the podcast format with limited commercial interruption.
Time now for our obligatory Aaron Rodgers Maller monologue, Tell
(00:21):
a friend, Tell a friend, Tell a friend, the latest
piping hot takes out of the oven. And a question
that's been debated quite a bit over the last twenty
four hours or so. Would Aaron Rodgers really retire rather
than play for the Packers if they fail to trade
his ass? We will examine that and more. It's coming
(00:43):
your way right now here. It is our number four.
In baseball, they call it the walk off. But what
do they do it in football? If you quit? What's
the term for that? Well, come man, the beginning of
another hour Ben Mallers show. We are in the air
(01:03):
everywhere as we philosophize, coast to coast, border to border
and beyond on the vast and powerful microphones of fs
are emanating live from inside the theater, the theater of
the mind, deep inside your brain, the Fox Sports Radio Studios.
(01:26):
We do thank you for hanging out. You have options,
not many good ones, but we thank you for finding
us and being part of the fund. So our lead
this hour comes from the pigskin world. We revisit the
drama or rama around erin Rogers. It is our obligatory
(01:47):
mallar monologue on the hoop law that is surrounding the
Packers quarterback. Now, if you've not heard the latest, how
could you miss it? That means you've probably not been
listening to sports talk radio. So I'll get you cut
up to speed. Aaron Rodgers walking away from the NFL altogether.
(02:07):
Of course, he hasn't actually said that that he's going
to do that, but that is the story du jour
that Rogers is so anchry, so anchory that he would
just all together in protest of Green Bay just say hey,
I'm out, I'm done, getting out of here, goes surf
(02:29):
Cala bunga dude. There are very opinions on this. Now,
AJ Hawk, who is a confidante of Aaron Rodgers, says
there is a zero percent chance that his old buddy
will retire. That's not gonna happen. Now we are hearing
others who claim that Aaron Rodgers is actually seriously contemplating
(02:52):
a hasty retreat away from the gridiron now Terry Bradshaw
did another round of interviews, and Bradshaw again said that
Rogers should just retire, go away. The longtime Fox broadcaster opined,
so let us discuss the question would Aaron Rodgers really
(03:14):
do it? His ex teammate AJ Hawks says no. Others
say he is that angry. He's that angry. So would
Aaron Rodgers really retire if the Packers don't trade him?
And my response, I am rolling the eyes to the
back of my head. It's what I'm doing. I've got emptiness,
(03:37):
straws and egg salad and we will combine all of
this together into an adequate Mala monologue number one. So,
this Aaron Rodgers story has turned into a wild fire,
and as a bloviating gas bag guy, I am very
(04:00):
grateful that Aaron Rodgers has given us the content gift
that keeps giving. It's smoke is blanketing most of the
United States sporting scene. Be careful them that consider this
a public service and ask but a PSA that the
microscopic particles of the Aaron Rodgers drama rama can penetrate
(04:25):
very deep into your lungs. They can cause all kinds
of health problems from burning eyes to a running nose
or worse, when you cut through the smoke, you chop
through the smoke. You then realize that the threats which
are being floated from people who are in the tank
with Aaron Rodgers about retirement are bogus. They are bogus
(04:51):
think emptiness, i e. Empty threats. Okay, Rogers has no intention,
zero intention of carrying through with this, But it doesn't
mean that he doesn't like the fact that this is
being said. And it also does not mean that he
(05:12):
would not like to drop a piano. Are you listening
drop a piano on top of the Green Bay GM
Brian Kuda Kuns Gotta say that name carefully or you'll
get in a lot of trouble. Now number two on
this some are saying that Aaron Rodgers is holding the
(05:33):
Packers hostage. I've been hearing that narrative bounce around the
echo chamber of sports conversation. I don't agree with that one.
Right when you pull out the microscope, the malar microscope,
and you examine this, that's not the case. It is
actually the Packers who have almost all of the leverage. Now,
(05:55):
what makes me say that, what's my supporting evidence? Green
Bay has Aaron Rodgers under contract for the next three
the next three seasons. It is by NFL standards in
the cartoonish world. In the NFL, it is a sweetheart deal.
It is a sweetheart deal considering the MVP level production.
(06:15):
They've already started grooming Aaron Rodgers replacement in Jordan Love.
So if you're a Green Bay and you take the
hardball approach, you're like, Okay, you want to retire, you
don't want to play for us anymore. If you don't
want to be part of the team, that's fine. We
don't have to pay you, and we already have your replacement.
We'll just we'll move on a little quicker to Jordan Love.
(06:37):
The only bargaining chip, the only chip that Rogers has here,
is to practice the ancient art of saber ratling. Saber ratling.
So the Rogers camp is doing just that, and they're
floating to confidants in the media, useful idiots in the
media that Rogers he's serious, he could retire. I don't
(07:04):
believe it. Call him on his bullcrap. Right, he's grasping
at straws, he's trying to can't quite reach the strike,
grasping at Straws is what Aaron Rodgers is doing. And
as far as the Jeopardy gig, which I've heard a lot,
we've talked about that. You know, that's a nice cute
story that Aaron Rodgers is gonna pop up on Jeopardy
(07:24):
and the people that run that syndicated show, we're going
to give him Alex Trebeck's hallowed chair and the podium
and all that. The dais that is special ground. And
by no means is Aaron Rodgers the front runner. He's not.
And outside of that, what's he gonna do? Now? Aaron
(07:46):
Rodgers always has the fallback because of the jockocracy in
sports media, where he could get a job on television
as an NFL broadcaster immediately, whether it be at Fox, ESPN, CBS, NBC, whoever,
somebody's gonna hire and he'd get paid a lot of money.
But it doesn't seem like he's that into that kind
(08:06):
of thing that that really wouldn't excitement I excited, It
might be surprised if he did it. Our final point,
the question has been asked by a handful of our
brothers and sisters who listen in the great state of Wisconsin,
where my younger brother resides in Appleton. Where is the loyalty?
(08:28):
And I would like to address the komodo dragging in
the room? Where is loyalty? Are the hardcore Green Bay
fan fans? Are they more on the side of the
organizationn or on the side of Aaron Rodgers. And following
copious amounts of research and an exhaustive minutes long investigation,
(08:53):
because we are on the pulse of the people, pulse
of the people in the overnight, I have the answer
the loyalty. If you were to have the scales of
justice here, the loyalty is on the side of the packers.
Aaron Rodgers is like eggs salad. Now I don't particularly
(09:15):
care for egg salad, but if you do like egg salad,
you know that when you buy egg salad, it's got
a limited shelf life. The expiration date is rapidly, rapidly approaching.
And it's just that's just the reality. And Rogers he's
thirty seven, He's gonna be thirty eight by next Super Bowl.
(09:37):
And based on the comps, and you're in real estate,
you always look at the comps. He's inching closer to
the end of the line, the end of the road
for mister Rogers neighborhood. So we'll see what happens next
in the ever changing drama, drama, drama, o rama around
(10:00):
Aaron Rodgers. All right, it is the Ben Mather Show.
You want to comment on that, you are more than welcome.
We'll give out the number in a second. But first,
the big story that led this show many hours ago
when we got started here out of the Bronx, the
Cheating Stros made their first trip back to the Bronx
(10:22):
since the scandal. They didn't play their last year because
of the COVID and all that, but they were back
here since the first time since the scandal came out
on the Athletic and it was everything we were hoping
it would be and then something. The only thing that
sucked was there were limited fans allowed because of the COVID.
They only allowed about eleven thousand fans at Yankee Stadium.
(10:44):
But they had just wonderful contraband signs that were snuck
in those blow up trash cans. Amazon must have sold
the four thousand of those things because the Yankee security.
We're running around like Mike the Headless Chicken, trying to
get all of these racy signs and the salty Yankee fan.
(11:06):
Now the Yankee fan, I think this is the proper analysis.
Had lost their edge, they had lost their way. But
this was a throwback. We hearkened back to the old
days at Yankee Stadium, Old Yankee Stadium because when Jose
Owl boove the Astros, the dirty MVP, the cheater, Jose
(11:28):
alto of a proven cheater, Jose Altuve, when he stepped
into the batter's box, he was serenaded by the New
York Yankee fans. And let's go to the audio tape.
Here's how it signed. It was raining down booze and
(11:55):
in this case profanity, as Jose al Tube hearing it
from the crowd as soon as he arrived. I'm told
that even during batting practice when there weren't very many
people there at Yankee Stadium, the people as they were
coming in, the first thing they did before they even
sat down was boo tossed some raspberries at al Tube.
(12:19):
All of this because of the electronics sign stealing scandal,
the espionage scandal, and Jose altuvee a central figure. It
happened in twenty seventeen and we think other years as well.
Major League Baseball did a very shoddy investigation in our opinion,
and it was wonderful. Played again, Robert, I'll playing again.
And this is al Tube Yankee Stadium last night, f
(12:45):
Al Tube, f Valtube. More importantly, we have a new toy.
We have a lot of toys here. I've said this
in the past. I admit one of my weaknesses, one
of my kryptonites. I love rhythmic chanting. I can't get yes.
(13:06):
Red fire, red fire, fire, fire, fire fire, rambas Hey,
all right, we'll take your calls eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox. Job well done. I did a full
malar monologue on the Yankee fans and how they just
(13:28):
gave it to the to the a stros all night long,
and you can download that. The podcast will be available
in a couple of hours. I highly highly recommended, highly recommended.
All right, straight ahead for us. We'll take some of
your calls at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Remember a couple of years ago there was a impersonator
(13:51):
of one particular boxer with with red hair who we
love so much, you little weasel, Connor McGregor. And this
guy was going around and fooling people who thought it
was Connor McGregor. Well, now, deja vu, it's not about
Connor McGregor. But did you hear the shaggy dog story
(14:13):
about the Trevor Lawrence impostor. We've got the glorious details.
We'll get to that and we will do it next.
Bova Boo boo Bay. Be sure to catch live editions
(14:36):
of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern
eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
We are always looking to proliferate the Maller militia. Help
our grassroots movement add new listeners to The Ben Maller Show.
Support our noble efforts by posting comments about the show
on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and all other social media. You
(14:57):
have the power to influence others to join the call
of the Ben Maller Show. And I'll live from the
Fox Sports Radio studios. It's Ben Maller. Is it real
or is it fake? It walks like a duck, talks
like a duck, quacks like a duck. It's not a duck.
I'll explain. Look at that coming up momentarily. Our friend
(15:21):
inca terror from New York, a classically trained musician and
he is also the celebrity judge every year for the
Talent Show because he's actually got talent, which is we
don't have talent, but he's got talent. Inca Terror says,
it's like you're baiting me, Benny mentioning pianos in your monologue. Yes, exactly,
(15:44):
Inca Terror, that was only for you. Other people think
that it was for them, but it was actually for you.
How long until the Talent Show? I think we have
a lot of exciting new blood this year. Well, first
of all, I agree with you that the last couple
of months with our friend in Minnesota and his tremendous
(16:05):
music Jay Scoop still contributing content, and there are others
that are preparing little ditties for the Talent Show, So
I'm excited about that now. Normally we do it right
around the Major League Baseball All Star Break, which is
in early July, and depending on the calendar, we might
do it in June. June's usually a month where it's
(16:26):
all about the NBA. That there's that gap between the
NBA Finals when the Clippers are gonna win the championship
and then and then you've got just baseball until the
training camps open up in the NFL, which is typically
on a normal calendar year in mid to late January.
It's normally when that happens. Mallard prop Guy says, Benny
(16:49):
the Bopper Maller shows his versatility as a two way
five tool ball player with the patented Lolly Pop curveball
the epis pick. Just as in the cartoons. Some pro
ball players have been known to swing and miss three
times at the same pitch and take the walk of
shame back through the pine. That's a great point, Mallard
(17:11):
prop guy. I'm glad you highlighted that you found a
twenty nine second video clip. I want you to know
that was in between my losing weight, gaining it back,
and then losing it again. So I am the round
mound of the pitching mound, and you can see they're
just a tremendous tremendous The way I paused and then
(17:33):
raised my arm up and threw it unbelievable. The grace
of that pitch as it fluttered through the sky and
landed right in the catcher's club. And if I remember correctly,
Cooper Loop when he threw his pitch, it went all
the way to the backstop if I remember correctly, Is
that correct? Cooper Loop, you tossed one all the way
to the backstop? I think you did. Yeah, something like that. Yeah,
(17:56):
did not go well, No, you don't even remember what happened.
And Eddie, You're pitch was wild as well. But I
hit to the backstop, and think Cooper also bounced the backstop.
He bounced. Yeah, I was right there. Look at that catch.
(18:16):
That guy's probably in the big leagues now. That catcher,
Mike Catcher there for Bakersfield. He's probably with the Seattle
Mariners right now because he was playing an a ball
that was This is several years ago, but just just tremendous,
just tremendous. All right, Spen Malor's show on Fox. To
the Phones we go. Let's say hello to Ian, who
is in New Mexico. Hello Ian, m hmm. I think
(18:44):
we have a sleeper. But it only works if they snore.

thousand and twenty one. So you are going to Now
we've asked you this before, but you're still gonna call

that out on the official Fox Sports Radio Twitter account.
Dick In Dayton, Jay Glazer doesn't have that. Schefter doesn't
have that. None of the rap sheet over there, whatever
(19:51):
he's called, he doesn't have it. Dick In Dayton twenty
five years. Now, what do they give you if you
work twenty five years at Low's. I'm supposed to get
a quarter of a century plaque. I've been waiting for
a present that I had an order from the loaves
on the Internet. It's going to be. I think it's
a sort of a boom box. I could put all
(20:13):
the you know, the CDs. I got the Banjoe group
and all my other you know, a lot of the
country western and some of the blue grass, you know. Sure, yeah, yeah, Well,
I've crossed the twenty year threshold here at Fox Sports Radio,
and I think, Eddie, you've been here almost as long
as I have. Did you get any kind of gift?
Did they send you a plaque? Maybe mine's in the
(20:35):
mail somewhere. I don't recall that. Did you get anything
for the twenties? I did not. It'll be twenty in
October for me. Okay, so you're a little bit behind me.
Even though I had six months in twenty six days
of vacation, I'm still still a little ahead of Eddie.
But but I don't don't look for a gift there, Edy,
You're not going to get one. I wasn't interfecting. I
(20:56):
did not get it. I didn't get a gold watch.
I didn't get the plaque, none of that. Now that
then I wanted Ben and Eddie and Crew. I wanted
to tell you that I can remember when I was
going I went to the Centerville High School, and we're
supposed to have a fifty fifth reunion. But I could
remember in the sixties, I would come home. It was
(21:21):
probably sixties about sixty four, I would come home every
Sunday and the Browns would be featured on a you know,
local TV down here in Dayton, and uh, I could
remember Ken Coleman, Frank Gleeber doing the games and uh
back at WWS in Cleveland. Gibbs Shandley was the longest
(21:45):
on the brown twenty four. But then GiB Shandley, you
don't know Gibs Shanley. What's wrong with you? Now? You
went to Centerville High School in Centerville, Ohio. Correct, right, yeah,
you know some of your amos alumni. I'm looking why
are you not on the list. Somebody has to hijack
the Wikipedia page here because Dick and Ni and I'm
(22:11):
gonna try to get a picture. I was in the
yearbook nineteen sixty three. Ralph Bender was from MP New Philadelphia,
big brown Man, and I had a picture there with
my little had a crew cut air cut. It's a Dick.
Dick from Dayton plays on the Talent Show and the
(22:33):
Elkonium of the Centerville and my friend wants to try
to get a picture of that. Descend to everybody. Well,
that would be wonderful. I hope you you get that
Dick and thank you question? All right, bye bye bye bye,
thank you? All right, I want to play the game.
Famous alumni from Centerville High School, Eddie, you want to
(22:54):
play that game? Absolutely? Yeah, all right, let's see here,
I've got a dead actor, a thank you, Dick. Dick's gone.
We have let's see a famous TV commentator, NFL player
went to Centerville High School. You know who's are amazing?
(23:15):
You know who Gordon Jump is? I do. He is
the station manager WKRP in Cincinnati. He was the big
guy Arthur, the big guy Carlson from my favorite one
of the reasons I got in radio WKRP in Cincinnati.
And he went to Centerville High School a little bit
before Dick and Dayton. He's dead now, kirk Herb Street.
He went to Centerville High School. Who knew? Who knew?
(23:39):
He followed in the footsteps of Dick and Dayton. Dick's
right up there though. Yeah. Absolutely is a J Hawk
Creen Bay Packer player, Ohio State All American, Centerville High School. Lady.
I think it was the legend. Can't remember if it
was one or the other, but I think he's married
to Brady Quinn's sister, AJJ. Hawk is yeah, or one
(24:00):
who knows that these days would be who works here
at Fox Bush Radio. Yeah, yeah, I think I do
not know the personal life of a J Hawk. I
wish I had that information. Somebody's got to hijack that
WICKI you shouldn't. I can't recommend this, Eddie, but it
would be cool if somebody hijack the Wikipedia. No one,
that would be wrong to know it. But it would
(24:20):
be great, you said, famous radio call or Dick and
Dayton and put him like right next to lay right
under Gordon Jump or right near kirk Kerk Street. That
would be wonderful and the famous alumni boy. That would
make me happy, I hope. But yeah, I should. I
can't recommend that, Eddie because I would be that would
be wrong. I think you could recommend it. Actually, are
we allowed to do that? I think so. I don't
think it's anything illegal about that. Well. Wiki Wikipedia is free.
(24:45):
It's the encyclopedia of the people, by the people, right
I'm looking at it right now. There you go. Be

to the Fifth Hour with Ben Mallow on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. Ben. I
(25:27):
don't know if you've heard of this gentleman, and I'm
a little embarrassed that I have not heard of him.
I assume he had a probably a great call with
the Milwaukee Bucks clinching a playoff spot. Did you see
Jim Pashk retiring after thirty five years as the play
by play broadcaster for the Milwaukee Bucks. Yeah, he and
he did the Brewers, as he called the only no
(25:49):
hitter in Brewers history. According to the story I was
reading about him, and uh yeah, a long time broadcasting veteran.
I've got to be honest, I was a little bit
unaware of his career, but that's pretty impressive. Watched I
watched some of his work over the years. Yeah, he's
just you know, I don't He's not the greatest the
whole time. But that's if you lived in Milwaukee and
(26:09):
you grew up watching the games, you'd think, Yeah, it's
like kind of like not built. No, not Bill Plashka, Jim,
that's a La Times columnist that Roberto's referring to, but
called the Bucks since the eighties had like what Terry
Cummings and Sydney Moncree from players like that were on
(26:30):
the Bucks when he started calling again Terry, Well, Terry Cummings.
Yeah for your touch, for such a child such a
childish reaction. How dare you? It's a pretty good player
back in the day. What are his catchphrases? I don't
know what his catchphrases. Everyone's got catchphrases. What are his
catch that's my guy, Wheels, that's Wheels, the great Wheels,
(26:55):
who should be calling play by play for an NBA team.
It's an injustice agree that Weels is not behind the microphone.
We got to get him back in the NBA somewhere,
whether it's the Blazers and I want the guy that's
tuned the games now, but those jobs turn over. Of course,
if he wants to work in the NBA again, Wheel
should work here. We've produced this show, Eddie, has produced
two NBA play by play guys. But that I know,
(27:19):
the Timberwalls. Who's the other one, the Charlotte Hornets. Oh,
I forgot about We talked about this on the air, Eddie. Well,
we talk about a lot of things on the air.
I can't remember. You forget. Who's the Charlotte guy? Sam Farber?
He worked here, He's got the cleanest ass. Well, I
don't know anything about that. Wow, No, I mean Sam
(27:45):
briefly worked here in the newsroom. How dare you here?
I am bragging about how we've produced two NBA play
by play guys and you play that amateur Salma? How
dare you be? Well? Wow? That's that's basting is alright? Stop? Stop?
(28:08):
Not this portion, but the next portion of the Ben
Maler Show is made possible by netsuitet. You're still running
your business on quick books more like quicksand the bigger
your company grows, the faster you sync with outdated software.
Right now, netsweet is offering a one of a kind
financing program that's special financing at netsweet dot com, slash raft,
(28:29):
netsuitet dot com slash draft And speaking of that, I
love the video. There is a Trevor Lawrence imposter, an impersonator,
and a video has been making the rounds over the
last a few days. Here of this Trevor Lawrence impersonator
(28:51):
wandering the streets of Jacksonville, starting at the airport. And
the great thing about this is the doing this fooled
a number of Jacksonville fans, which makes it great, similar
to the Connor McGregor a deal. But the catch Eddie
on this, if you've not seen the video which is
bounced around the person behind the video, who is the
(29:14):
Trevor Lawrence and person? You know who it is? Eddie?
You know, I have no idea who it is. It's
a sixteen year old girl. How embarrassing must this be
for both the fans and Trevor Lawrence. Now, no disrespect
the sixteen year old girls, but if you're the number
one pick in the NFL draft and a sixteen year
(29:38):
old girl can fool people into thinking that you because
of his Goldie locks there. Eddie. The girl named Bella
Martina is her name. She's sixteen years old and she
went viral a couple of years ago when she was
was dubbed the Clemson you know, just a dead ringer
(29:58):
for Trevor Lawrence as the Pappo Ganger. Now keep in
mind me, she's just a regular, normal size sixteen year
old girl Trevor. Trevor Lawrence is like six six or
something like that, right, he's pretty tall. But they have
the identical hair, and come on, I'm looking at nah.
I mean, I could see thinking that that was his sister.
(30:19):
But to confuse him for her, I mean, well maybe they.
I mean it's possible that Jacksonville fans think that Trevor
Lawrence has boobs. It's possible, right, I mean, it's conceivable
that they don't. I don't know. Pretty good though, she
did a good job. She had sunglasses, she wore Jags
T shirt and you know, she was going around at
(30:40):
the airport there and people were snapping photos and they
obviously thought that she was Trevor Lawrence. Which it reminds me, uh,
the McGregor one, the McGregor guy. What he as long
as he had the sunglasses on, he looked just like
Connor McGregor. Once he took the sunglasses off, he didn't
look at anything like like the notorious one. All right,
(31:05):
Ben Maller's show on Fox. We go down to Brooklyn
and we say hello to a man who was chanting
f al tuve, f al tuve Marcel in Brooklyn. Yes, indeed, Ben,
believe it or not, those cheated Astros are coming to
our team and our state, in our city. What a
(31:30):
victory for those New York Bronx bomber Yankees. Seven to
three is the final and that exactly You're right, my friend,
f you tuve cheated Astro. I'm glad you didn't spell
the whole thing. Yeah, now game two now, Marcel, how
do you feel, as a god fearing man? How do
(31:51):
you feel about the profanity raining down from your fellow
New Yorkers there at al tuve? Yeah, I'm feeling much
much better because of those Yankees fans there in the Bronx.
It's going much much crazy. There are booths all over
the price. Can you say say what me now, Marcel?
I would like we don't need a summon al booba
(32:14):
al boombe. You know that one, Marcel, good job. Game
two tonight, seven o five Pacific. It is a new dawn,
it is a new day, it's a new month. So
(32:39):

Mallerine Ronnie
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, our number four
of our radio program, recorded live overnight off the radio,
repackaged here in the podcast format with limited commercial interruption.
Time now for our obligatory Aaron Rodgers Maller monologue, Tell
(00:21):
a friend, Tell a friend, Tell a friend, the latest
piping hot takes out of the oven. And a question
that's been debated quite a bit over the last twenty
four hours or so. Would Aaron Rodgers really retire rather
than play for the Packers if they fail to trade
his ass? We will examine that and more. It's coming
(00:43):
your way right now here. It is our number four.
In baseball, they call it the walk off. But what
do they do it in football? If you quit? What's
the term for that? Well, come man, the beginning of
another hour Ben Mallers show. We are in the air
(01:03):
everywhere as we philosophize, coast to coast, border to border
and beyond on the vast and powerful microphones of fs
are emanating live from inside the theater, the theater of
the mind, deep inside your brain, the Fox Sports Radio Studios.
(01:26):
We do thank you for hanging out. You have options,
not many good ones, but we thank you for finding
us and being part of the fund. So our lead
this hour comes from the pigskin world. We revisit the
drama or rama around erin Rogers. It is our obligatory
(01:47):
mallar monologue on the hoop law that is surrounding the
Packers quarterback. Now, if you've not heard the latest, how
could you miss it? That means you've probably not been
listening to sports talk radio. So I'll get you cut
up to speed. Aaron Rodgers walking away from the NFL altogether.
(02:07):
Of course, he hasn't actually said that that he's going
to do that, but that is the story du jour
that Rogers is so anchry, so anchory that he would
just all together in protest of Green Bay just say hey,
I'm out, I'm done, getting out of here, goes surf
(02:29):
Cala bunga dude. There are very opinions on this. Now,
AJ Hawk, who is a confidante of Aaron Rodgers, says
there is a zero percent chance that his old buddy
will retire. That's not gonna happen. Now we are hearing
others who claim that Aaron Rodgers is actually seriously contemplating
(02:52):
a hasty retreat away from the gridiron now Terry Bradshaw
did another round of interviews, and Bradshaw again said that
Rogers should just retire, go away. The longtime Fox broadcaster opined,
so let us discuss the question would Aaron Rodgers really
(03:14):
do it? His ex teammate AJ Hawks says no. Others
say he is that angry. He's that angry. So would
Aaron Rodgers really retire if the Packers don't trade him?
And my response, I am rolling the eyes to the
back of my head. It's what I'm doing. I've got emptiness,
(03:37):
straws and egg salad and we will combine all of
this together into an adequate Mala monologue number one. So,
this Aaron Rodgers story has turned into a wild fire,
and as a bloviating gas bag guy, I am very
(04:00):
grateful that Aaron Rodgers has given us the content gift
that keeps giving. It's smoke is blanketing most of the
United States sporting scene. Be careful them that consider this
a public service and ask but a PSA that the
microscopic particles of the Aaron Rodgers drama rama can penetrate
(04:25):
very deep into your lungs. They can cause all kinds
of health problems from burning eyes to a running nose
or worse, when you cut through the smoke, you chop
through the smoke. You then realize that the threats which
are being floated from people who are in the tank
with Aaron Rodgers about retirement are bogus. They are bogus
(04:51):
think emptiness, i e. Empty threats. Okay, Rogers has no intention,
zero intention of carrying through with this, But it doesn't
mean that he doesn't like the fact that this is
being said. And it also does not mean that he
(05:12):
would not like to drop a piano. Are you listening
drop a piano on top of the Green Bay GM
Brian Kuda Kuns Gotta say that name carefully or you'll
get in a lot of trouble. Now number two on
this some are saying that Aaron Rodgers is holding the
(05:33):
Packers hostage. I've been hearing that narrative bounce around the
echo chamber of sports conversation. I don't agree with that one.
Right when you pull out the microscope, the malar microscope,
and you examine this, that's not the case. It is
actually the Packers who have almost all of the leverage. Now,
(05:55):
what makes me say that, what's my supporting evidence? Green
Bay has Aaron Rodgers under contract for the next three
the next three seasons. It is by NFL standards in
the cartoonish world. In the NFL, it is a sweetheart deal.
It is a sweetheart deal considering the MVP level production.
(06:15):
They've already started grooming Aaron Rodgers replacement in Jordan Love.
So if you're a Green Bay and you take the
hardball approach, you're like, Okay, you want to retire, you
don't want to play for us anymore. If you don't
want to be part of the team, that's fine. We
don't have to pay you, and we already have your replacement.
We'll just we'll move on a little quicker to Jordan Love.
(06:37):
The only bargaining chip, the only chip that Rogers has here,
is to practice the ancient art of saber ratling. Saber ratling.
So the Rogers camp is doing just that, and they're
floating to confidants in the media, useful idiots in the
media that Rogers he's serious, he could retire. I don't
(07:04):
believe it. Call him on his bullcrap. Right, he's grasping
at straws, he's trying to can't quite reach the strike,
grasping at Straws is what Aaron Rodgers is doing. And
as far as the Jeopardy gig, which I've heard a lot,
we've talked about that. You know, that's a nice cute
story that Aaron Rodgers is gonna pop up on Jeopardy
(07:24):
and the people that run that syndicated show, we're going
to give him Alex Trebeck's hallowed chair and the podium
and all that. The dais that is special ground. And
by no means is Aaron Rodgers the front runner. He's not.
And outside of that, what's he gonna do? Now? Aaron
(07:46):
Rodgers always has the fallback because of the jockocracy in
sports media, where he could get a job on television
as an NFL broadcaster immediately, whether it be at Fox, ESPN, CBS, NBC, whoever,
somebody's gonna hire and he'd get paid a lot of money.
But it doesn't seem like he's that into that kind
(08:06):
of thing that that really wouldn't excitement I excited, It
might be surprised if he did it. Our final point,
the question has been asked by a handful of our
brothers and sisters who listen in the great state of Wisconsin,
where my younger brother resides in Appleton. Where is the loyalty?
(08:28):
And I would like to address the komodo dragging in
the room? Where is loyalty? Are the hardcore Green Bay
fan fans? Are they more on the side of the
organizationn or on the side of Aaron Rodgers. And following
copious amounts of research and an exhaustive minutes long investigation,
(08:53):
because we are on the pulse of the people, pulse
of the people in the overnight, I have the answer
the loyalty. If you were to have the scales of
justice here, the loyalty is on the side of the packers.
Aaron Rodgers is like eggs salad. Now I don't particularly
(09:15):
care for egg salad, but if you do like egg salad,
you know that when you buy egg salad, it's got
a limited shelf life. The expiration date is rapidly, rapidly approaching.
And it's just that's just the reality. And Rogers he's
thirty seven, He's gonna be thirty eight by next Super Bowl.
(09:37):
And based on the comps, and you're in real estate,
you always look at the comps. He's inching closer to
the end of the line, the end of the road
for mister Rogers neighborhood. So we'll see what happens next
in the ever changing drama, drama, drama, o rama around
(10:00):
Aaron Rodgers. All right, it is the Ben Mather Show.
You want to comment on that, you are more than welcome.
We'll give out the number in a second. But first,
the big story that led this show many hours ago
when we got started here out of the Bronx, the
Cheating Stros made their first trip back to the Bronx
(10:22):
since the scandal. They didn't play their last year because
of the COVID and all that, but they were back
here since the first time since the scandal came out
on the Athletic and it was everything we were hoping
it would be and then something. The only thing that
sucked was there were limited fans allowed because of the COVID.
They only allowed about eleven thousand fans at Yankee Stadium.
(10:44):
But they had just wonderful contraband signs that were snuck
in those blow up trash cans. Amazon must have sold
the four thousand of those things because the Yankee security.
We're running around like Mike the Headless Chicken, trying to
get all of these racy signs and the salty Yankee fan.
(11:06):
Now the Yankee fan, I think this is the proper analysis.
Had lost their edge, they had lost their way. But
this was a throwback. We hearkened back to the old
days at Yankee Stadium, Old Yankee Stadium because when Jose
Owl boove the Astros, the dirty MVP, the cheater, Jose
(11:28):
alto of a proven cheater, Jose Altuve, when he stepped
into the batter's box, he was serenaded by the New
York Yankee fans. And let's go to the audio tape.
Here's how it signed. It was raining down booze and
(11:55):
in this case profanity, as Jose al Tube hearing it
from the crowd as soon as he arrived. I'm told
that even during batting practice when there weren't very many
people there at Yankee Stadium, the people as they were
coming in, the first thing they did before they even
sat down was boo tossed some raspberries at al Tube.
(12:19):
All of this because of the electronics sign stealing scandal,
the espionage scandal, and Jose altuvee a central figure. It
happened in twenty seventeen and we think other years as well.
Major League Baseball did a very shoddy investigation in our opinion,
and it was wonderful. Played again, Robert, I'll playing again.
And this is al Tube Yankee Stadium last night, f
(12:45):
Al Tube, f Valtube. More importantly, we have a new toy.
We have a lot of toys here. I've said this
in the past. I admit one of my weaknesses, one
of my kryptonites. I love rhythmic chanting. I can't get yes.
(13:06):
Red fire, red fire, fire, fire, fire fire, rambas Hey,
all right, we'll take your calls eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox. Job well done. I did a full
malar monologue on the Yankee fans and how they just
(13:28):
gave it to the to the a stros all night long,
and you can download that. The podcast will be available
in a couple of hours. I highly highly recommended, highly recommended.
All right, straight ahead for us. We'll take some of
your calls at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Remember a couple of years ago there was a impersonator
(13:51):
of one particular boxer with with red hair who we
love so much, you little weasel, Connor McGregor. And this
guy was going around and fooling people who thought it
was Connor McGregor. Well, now, deja vu, it's not about
Connor McGregor. But did you hear the shaggy dog story
(14:13):
about the Trevor Lawrence impostor. We've got the glorious details.
We'll get to that and we will do it next.
Bova Boo boo Bay. Be sure to catch live editions
(14:36):

or is it fake? It walks like a duck, talks
like a duck, quacks like a duck. It's not a duck.
I'll explain. Look at that coming up momentarily. Our friend
(15:21):
inca terror from New York, a classically trained musician and
he is also the celebrity judge every year for the
Talent Show because he's actually got talent, which is we
don't have talent, but he's got talent. Inca Terror says,
it's like you're baiting me, Benny mentioning pianos in your monologue. Yes, exactly,
(15:44):
Inca Terror, that was only for you. Other people think
that it was for them, but it was actually for you.
How long until the Talent Show? I think we have
a lot of exciting new blood this year. Well, first
of all, I agree with you that the last couple
of months with our friend in Minnesota and his tremendous
(16:05):
music Jay Scoop still contributing content, and there are others
that are preparing little ditties for the Talent Show, So
I'm excited about that now. Normally we do it right
around the Major League Baseball All Star Break, which is
in early July, and depending on the calendar, we might
do it in June. June's usually a month where it's
(16:26):
all about the NBA. That there's that gap between the
NBA Finals when the Clippers are gonna win the championship
and then and then you've got just baseball until the
training camps open up in the NFL, which is typically
on a normal calendar year in mid to late January.
It's normally when that happens. Mallard prop Guy says, Benny
(16:49):
the Bopper Maller shows his versatility as a two way
five tool ball player with the patented Lolly Pop curveball
the epis pick. Just as in the cartoons. Some pro
ball players have been known to swing and miss three
times at the same pitch and take the walk of
shame back through the pine. That's a great point, Mallard
(17:11):
prop guy. I'm glad you highlighted that you found a
twenty nine second video clip. I want you to know
that was in between my losing weight, gaining it back,
and then losing it again. So I am the round
mound of the pitching mound, and you can see they're
just a tremendous tremendous The way I paused and then
(17:33):
raised my arm up and threw it unbelievable. The grace
of that pitch as it fluttered through the sky and
landed right in the catcher's club. And if I remember correctly,
Cooper Loop when he threw his pitch, it went all
the way to the backstop if I remember correctly, Is
that correct? Cooper Loop, you tossed one all the way
to the backstop? I think you did. Yeah, something like that. Yeah,
(17:56):
did not go well, No, you don't even remember what happened.
And Eddie, You're pitch was wild as well. But I
hit to the backstop, and think Cooper also bounced the backstop.
He bounced. Yeah, I was right there. Look at that catch.
(18:16):
That guy's probably in the big leagues now. That catcher,
Mike Catcher there for Bakersfield. He's probably with the Seattle
Mariners right now because he was playing an a ball
that was This is several years ago, but just just tremendous,
just tremendous. All right, Spen Malor's show on Fox. To
the Phones we go. Let's say hello to Ian, who
is in New Mexico. Hello Ian, m hmm. I think
(18:44):
we have a sleeper. But it only works if they snore.
If they don't snore, it doesn't work. It's not good radio.
Let's say hello to Dick in Dayton. Hello, Dick. The
Dick never sleeps. Good morning, he gets up early for us.
He's got a full day. He works at lows. He's
got the cattering Banjo Society. But you're retiring later this year.
(19:06):
When's your last day at Lows? Dick? Oh yeah, I
was gonna mention, Yeah, thank for December thirty first, two
thousand and twenty one. So you are going to Now
we've asked you this before, but you're still gonna call
the show right even though you're working? Okay? Oh yeah,
and I'm one. Uh, this is special news to Fox Sports.
(19:29):
May sixteenth is my anniversary at Lows twenty five years. Guys,
breaking news, breaking news from Fox Sports. We're gonna tweet
that out on the official Fox Sports Radio Twitter account.
Dick In Dayton, Jay Glazer doesn't have that. Schefter doesn't
have that. None of the rap sheet over there, whatever
(19:51):
he's called, he doesn't have it. Dick In Dayton twenty
five years. Now, what do they give you if you
work twenty five years at Low's. I'm supposed to get
a quarter of a century plaque. I've been waiting for
a present that I had an order from the loaves
on the Internet. It's going to be. I think it's
a sort of a boom box. I could put all
(20:13):
the you know, the CDs. I got the Banjoe group
and all my other you know, a lot of the
country western and some of the blue grass, you know. Sure, yeah, yeah, Well,
I've crossed the twenty year threshold here at Fox Sports Radio,
and I think, Eddie, you've been here almost as long
as I have. Did you get any kind of gift?
Did they send you a plaque? Maybe mine's in the
(20:35):
mail somewhere. I don't recall that. Did you get anything
for the twenties? I did not. It'll be twenty in
October for me. Okay, so you're a little bit behind me.
Even though I had six months in twenty six days
of vacation, I'm still still a little ahead of Eddie.
But but I don't don't look for a gift there, Edy,
You're not going to get one. I wasn't interfecting. I
(20:56):
did not get it. I didn't get a gold watch.
I didn't get the plaque, none of that. Now that
then I wanted Ben and Eddie and Crew. I wanted
to tell you that I can remember when I was
going I went to the Centerville High School, and we're
supposed to have a fifty fifth reunion. But I could
remember in the sixties, I would come home. It was
(21:21):
probably sixties about sixty four, I would come home every
Sunday and the Browns would be featured on a you know,
local TV down here in Dayton, and uh, I could
remember Ken Coleman, Frank Gleeber doing the games and uh
back at WWS in Cleveland. Gibbs Shandley was the longest
(21:45):
on the brown twenty four. But then GiB Shandley, you
don't know Gibs Shanley. What's wrong with you? Now? You
went to Centerville High School in Centerville, Ohio. Correct, right, yeah,
you know some of your amos alumni. I'm looking why
are you not on the list. Somebody has to hijack
the Wikipedia page here because Dick and Ni and I'm
(22:11):
gonna try to get a picture. I was in the
yearbook nineteen sixty three. Ralph Bender was from MP New Philadelphia,
big brown Man, and I had a picture there with
my little had a crew cut air cut. It's a Dick.
Dick from Dayton plays on the Talent Show and the
(22:33):
Elkonium of the Centerville and my friend wants to try
to get a picture of that. Descend to everybody. Well,
that would be wonderful. I hope you you get that
Dick and thank you question? All right, bye bye bye bye,
thank you? All right, I want to play the game.
Famous alumni from Centerville High School, Eddie, you want to
(22:54):
play that game? Absolutely? Yeah, all right, let's see here,
I've got a dead actor, a thank you, Dick. Dick's gone.
We have let's see a famous TV commentator, NFL player
went to Centerville High School. You know who's are amazing?
(23:15):
You know who Gordon Jump is? I do. He is
the station manager WKRP in Cincinnati. He was the big
guy Arthur, the big guy Carlson from my favorite one
of the reasons I got in radio WKRP in Cincinnati.
And he went to Centerville High School a little bit
before Dick and Dayton. He's dead now, kirk Herb Street.
He went to Centerville High School. Who knew? Who knew?
(23:39):
He followed in the footsteps of Dick and Dayton. Dick's
right up there though. Yeah. Absolutely is a J Hawk
Creen Bay Packer player, Ohio State All American, Centerville High School. Lady.
I think it was the legend. Can't remember if it
was one or the other, but I think he's married
to Brady Quinn's sister, AJJ. Hawk is yeah, or one
(24:00):
who knows that these days would be who works here
at Fox Bush Radio. Yeah, yeah, I think I do
not know the personal life of a J Hawk. I
wish I had that information. Somebody's got to hijack that
WICKI you shouldn't. I can't recommend this, Eddie, but it
would be cool if somebody hijack the Wikipedia. No one,
that would be wrong to know it. But it would
(24:20):
be great, you said, famous radio call or Dick and
Dayton and put him like right next to lay right
under Gordon Jump or right near kirk Kerk Street. That
would be wonderful and the famous alumni boy. That would
make me happy, I hope. But yeah, I should. I
can't recommend that, Eddie because I would be that would
be wrong. I think you could recommend it. Actually, are
we allowed to do that? I think so. I don't
think it's anything illegal about that. Well. Wiki Wikipedia is free.
(24:45):
It's the encyclopedia of the people, by the people, right
I'm looking at it right now. There you go. Be

(25:27):
don't know if you've heard of this gentleman, and I'm
a little embarrassed that I have not heard of him.
I assume he had a probably a great call with
the Milwaukee Bucks clinching a playoff spot. Did you see
Jim Pashk retiring after thirty five years as the play
by play broadcaster for the Milwaukee Bucks. Yeah, he and
he did the Brewers, as he called the only no
(25:49):
hitter in Brewers history. According to the story I was
reading about him, and uh yeah, a long time broadcasting veteran.
I've got to be honest, I was a little bit
unaware of his career, but that's pretty impressive. Watched I
watched some of his work over the years. Yeah, he's
just you know, I don't He's not the greatest the
whole time. But that's if you lived in Milwaukee and
(26:09):
you grew up watching the games, you'd think, Yeah, it's
like kind of like not built. No, not Bill Plashka, Jim,
that's a La Times columnist that Roberto's referring to, but
called the Bucks since the eighties had like what Terry
Cummings and Sydney Moncree from players like that were on
(26:30):
the Bucks when he started calling again Terry, Well, Terry Cummings.
Yeah for your touch, for such a child such a
childish reaction. How dare you? It's a pretty good player
back in the day. What are his catchphrases? I don't
know what his catchphrases. Everyone's got catchphrases. What are his
catch that's my guy, Wheels, that's Wheels, the great Wheels,
(26:55):
who should be calling play by play for an NBA team.
It's an injustice agree that Weels is not behind the microphone.
We got to get him back in the NBA somewhere,
whether it's the Blazers and I want the guy that's
tuned the games now, but those jobs turn over. Of course,
if he wants to work in the NBA again, Wheel
should work here. We've produced this show, Eddie, has produced
two NBA play by play guys. But that I know,
(27:19):
the Timberwalls. Who's the other one, the Charlotte Hornets. Oh,
I forgot about We talked about this on the air, Eddie. Well,
we talk about a lot of things on the air.
I can't remember. You forget. Who's the Charlotte guy? Sam Farber?
He worked here, He's got the cleanest ass. Well, I
don't know anything about that. Wow, No, I mean Sam
(27:45):
briefly worked here in the newsroom. How dare you here?
I am bragging about how we've produced two NBA play
by play guys and you play that amateur Salma? How
dare you be? Well? Wow? That's that's basting is alright? Stop? Stop?
(28:08):
Not this portion, but the next portion of the Ben
Maler Show is made possible by netsuitet. You're still running
your business on quick books more like quicksand the bigger
your company grows, the faster you sync with outdated software.
Right now, netsweet is offering a one of a kind
financing program that's special financing at netsweet dot com, slash raft,
(28:29):
netsuitet dot com slash draft And speaking of that, I
love the video. There is a Trevor Lawrence imposter, an impersonator,
and a video has been making the rounds over the
last a few days. Here of this Trevor Lawrence impersonator
(28:51):
wandering the streets of Jacksonville, starting at the airport. And
the great thing about this is the doing this fooled
a number of Jacksonville fans, which makes it great, similar
to the Connor McGregor a deal. But the catch Eddie
on this, if you've not seen the video which is
bounced around the person behind the video, who is the
(29:14):
Trevor Lawrence and person? You know who it is? Eddie?
You know, I have no idea who it is. It's
a sixteen year old girl. How embarrassing must this be
for both the fans and Trevor Lawrence. Now, no disrespect
the sixteen year old girls, but if you're the number
one pick in the NFL draft and a sixteen year
(29:38):
old girl can fool people into thinking that you because
of his Goldie locks there. Eddie. The girl named Bella
Martina is her name. She's sixteen years old and she
went viral a couple of years ago when she was
was dubbed the Clemson you know, just a dead ringer
(29:58):
for Trevor Lawrence as the Pappo Ganger. Now keep in
mind me, she's just a regular, normal size sixteen year
old girl Trevor. Trevor Lawrence is like six six or
something like that, right, he's pretty tall. But they have
the identical hair, and come on, I'm looking at nah.
I mean, I could see thinking that that was his sister.
(30:19):
But to confuse him for her, I mean, well maybe they.
I mean it's possible that Jacksonville fans think that Trevor
Lawrence has boobs. It's possible, right, I mean, it's conceivable
that they don't. I don't know. Pretty good though, she
did a good job. She had sunglasses, she wore Jags
T shirt and you know, she was going around at
(30:40):
the airport there and people were snapping photos and they
obviously thought that she was Trevor Lawrence. Which it reminds me, uh,
the McGregor one, the McGregor guy. What he as long
as he had the sunglasses on, he looked just like
Connor McGregor. Once he took the sunglasses off, he didn't
look at anything like like the notorious one. All right,
(31:05):
Ben Maller's show on Fox. We go down to Brooklyn
and we say hello to a man who was chanting
f al tuve, f al tuve Marcel in Brooklyn. Yes, indeed, Ben,
believe it or not, those cheated Astros are coming to
our team and our state, in our city. What a

victory for those New York Bronx bomber Yankees. Seven to
three is the final and that exactly You're right, my friend,

the whole thing. Yeah, now game two now, Marcel, how
do you feel, as a god fearing man? How do
(31:51):
you feel about the profanity raining down from your fellow
New Yorkers there at al tuve? Yeah, I'm feeling much
much better because of those Yankees fans there in the Bronx.
It's going much much crazy. There are booths all over
the price. Can you say say what me now, Marcel?

good morning to you, my friend. What in vegasm last night?
Trevor Lawrence does look transgender? My food pick from last
night is deep fried Rocky Mountain oistures with a kerotene

cottail on the rock. Whoa, that's a very good one.
I'll give you one A for you. Rob, step it up.
He's a fan of bull testicles, clearly, man, start with you.
All right, I'm gonna go classic and mo our guy

Mo and Brooklyn, whose kid Willie was awake and so
he called in. You know you have a rival who
lives in Brooklyn who calls the show. But he went
oodles and noodles. So I'm gonna go oodles and noodles.
Oh good, good job for mo is here in my
home place. So I give you the good choice with
the A instead. Okay, all right, Eddie, that's not a

That's first. The great Americans drop means she the drop mean.
(34:32):
Let me say this man, the great American drop machine. Yes, yes,
exactly as well said the King's English. Right, there's another chance?
Can Coop finally not get an f? This could be
the question is can Coop de Loop's got another fail
for the poop pick? Well, let's find out. Just said Marcel,
