This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Unable to leave the nest, Welcome in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in
the air everywhere, just ordinary people as we got that
magic carpet ride coast to coast, border to border, and
(00:52):
me on on the best eh splashly powerful microphones of
FSR Modern Live from the circus, the overnight chit chat
Circus the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
By the Green Bay Gobbler.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Who knows that this portion of the Ben Malor Show
maybe possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
That's right, for over forty years, it's a long time,
Alf tells me. That's a long time. Tire Rack has
been helping customers find the right tires for how what
and where they drive ship fast and free back by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
(01:34):
tire installation, tire rack dot com, the watire Buying Show.
So our lead this hour is from the A. T. L.
The atl The dirty birds aren't doing a damn thing.
They're not They're not having If you saw this you
might know where I'm going with it.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
You know, I love talking Atlanta Falcon football. Are we
not on the pulse of the people. Don't answer that.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
We have a trade rumor update, a trade rumor update.
The word on the street. The word on.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The street is that the Falcons have been desperately trying
to trade quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Or they got him last offseason.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
They were all excited about that, and then they drafted
another quarterback, so they've been trying to get rid of him,
and now the quarterback market is bone dry. According to
the latest reporting, Atlanta was eager to say bye bye
to Cousins and until they weren't, and then turned out
they didn't really want to eat the big portion of
(02:40):
the contract that would have been required there. They didn't
have enough barbecue sauce in Atlanta to do that, and
so now the quarterback carousel has begun, Cousins is left
searching for a ride I want on the carousel, and
the horse is not there. In fact, very odd that
a horse on a carousel would leave the barn, but
(03:01):
that appears to be what happened here. And so supposedly
Pittsburgh was the last best shot for Kirk Cousins until
Aaron Rogers knocked on the door and they opened the door.
And that's it. So long story short, three words. Nobody
wants him. Nobody wants him. So let us discuss the
(03:26):
question stuck in Atlanta, what is the forecast? What is
the forecast for Kirk Cousins's NFL future at this moment?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Two day?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So I've got tumbleweeds, advanced degree, and dandy dawn, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make some twisted pizza dough, is.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
What we're going to make. So number why the forecast?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
And we're never wrong about these things because we have
the power of the bully pul with the power of
the microphone, the power of the headphones, the tools of ignorance.
So the forecast for Kirk Cousins NFL future looking at
the long term weather modules. Right, looking at all the
models and modules and all that stuff. The Doppler radar
left behind by Roberto who quit radio to live his
(04:19):
dream as.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
A bus driver.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
So the Doppler radar shows here that the Falcons are
experiencing what's known as climate whiplash. It's a relatively new term,
climate whiplash, but a rapid shift between posing weather extremes
opposing weather extremes, from a flooding to drought, from flooding
(04:43):
to drought drout. So we are talking about a desolate
desert devoid of any precipitation, a desolate desert devoid of
any precipitation, and a market that is the only thing
there you can see moving around is tumbleweeds. It's a
lot of tumbleweeds blowing around. That's an invasive speeches that
(05:03):
came to America from Russia and stuck there. His cousins
on the dance floor. Now he is on the dance floor.
That's the good news. He's doing the dance move, the limbo,
how low can you go? How low can you go?
And no trades. Really, what he's waiting for is breakfast.
Kirk Cousins is waiting for breakfast because he knows at
(05:24):
one point in the upcoming month and then the next
two months actually because to you know, we're doing the
show in early June, and you've got the rest of
this month and then most of July before training camp
opens up.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Somewhere between now.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
An early part of training camp, a quarterback in the NFL,
a starting quarterback will go out and have.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
A big bowl of rice crispies.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
And they'll have a little milk, and then they'll take
the spoon and they'll put the spoon in and then
they'll have snap, crackle, pop. And at that point, when
you have the snap, crackle and pop, that means you
need another quarterback.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Is that Mahomes hurting his ankle? Is that Josh Allen
going a little too heavy on his honeymoon and having
a groin injury.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I don't know. Is that Lamar Jackson having a knee problem?
Who knows?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
But Boom goes to Dynamite and that is when the
portal will open up again for Kirk Cousins. And the
Saints are the only team, the only one that does
not have a quarterback in the NFL. They're not even trying,
the fact that they're not even trying in Orleans would
lead you to believe that they're just tanking and they're
one of the teams is going to try to get
Arch Manning for marketing reasons and do the whole Manning
(06:33):
family connection.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Thing and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And so that's it. Now Atlanta does have to act
relatively fast. And the reason they have to act relatively
fast is because they're banking on Raheem Morris, who somehow
has a head coaching job in the NFL game. Raheem
Morris and the Falcons are banking on the second year
jumpity jump for Michael Pennex Junior that he's going to
(06:56):
jump on a trampoline.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And to the moon, to the moon, to the moon,
to the moon.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And so you gotta clear the runway, gotta get rid
of the things on the Romlane. Cousins, right now is
some debris that's clearing the possible takeoff of Michael Pennix.
You and your now page two. We did have a
pending pending roster move over the weekend. What is the
pending roster move? Nick Chubb a lob blub formerly known
(07:25):
as Nick Chubb. Nick Chubb a love blob. The former
I say, former Cleveland Browns running back coming off back
to back seasons with massive career altering injuries. Well, Nick
Chubb has reportedly agreed to a deal with a new team.
He is taking his talents to the Texans, pending a physical.
(07:47):
That's a big pending a physical addendum, So are you
giving this move a thumbs up.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Or a thumb's down?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Nick Chubb going to Houston after a thorough review, a
minutes long, minutes long deliberation, with our copious amounts of research,
we are giving this a full thumbs up. Now, not
two thumbs up, but one full solid thumbs up, the
thumb standing high and proud. It is smart football. It
(08:18):
is smart football because it's it's a short term deal.
It's a power play, power play by the Texas. So
Houston is not betting the family jewels. Right, that's a
one year low risk if the reports are Accurate's one
year low risk contract.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Is that it's a flyer. You know, when you park
your car.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And at like a sporting event or a concert and
you come out and there's a flyer on the windshield wiper.
That's all this is. It's a flyer. They put that out,
maybe one out of two thousand people will actually buy
the product. But you're just doing that right. He's he's
a guy who was on a dog Food Cleveland team,
(08:58):
a spark plug Nick Chubb, so went healthy and that
is a massive, massive win. That's any ifs and butts
were candy and nuts, you'd celebrate every day, but you don't.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
And when he's right, he's got the breakaway ability, or
had the breakaway ability of a top five running back
in the NFL explosive efficient powerful, a nightmare for opposing
defensive players here, and the problem is his doppelganger has
been Humpty Dumpty, and when your doppelganger is Humpty Dumpty,
(09:34):
it does not go well.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Forget the spaghetti and meatballs because he left the spaghetti out.
What Nick Chubb has been doing the last couple of
years is adding meat ball surgery after meatball surgery. He's
twenty nine and Chubb has not played a full game
since what Week fourteen last season, and then the year
before he got hurt and I think.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
It was a week two.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I believe it was Week two of the regular season,
So it's been a while. Since he played all the
games and he's a crash test dummy is what he is.
And so he's got he had the sprained ankle, and
he had the ligament messed up in his knee and
is a complete just everything was shredded, shred tred, shred tred,
shred tred red. And so he had the heel the
(10:20):
acl that was the bugaboo, and then he had the
broken foot this past season and now he is not
understand it if he does pass the physical, which is
very hard not to pass, if the team wants he
it's very hard not to pass the physical. And they
brought Chubb in and so I would assume Houston wants him.
(10:41):
Why else would they do that. They could just you know,
go out and sign mister irrigation to play running back.
But anyway, nonetheless, so Nick Chobb will not be asked
to be the bell cow back.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
It's going to be an ensemble.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Backfield because you're gonna have Nick Chabb back there and
Joe Mixing. So that's the one two punch, which means
Nick Chubb would be what he would be the goal line,
goal line kind of closer. That type of running back
does not have to be Superman and leap tall buildings
(11:12):
in a single you know what, And as Larry David
will say, that would be pretty pretty good if you
can mix and match and intertwine Joe Mixon and Nick Chubb. Right,
and if you're getting seventy or eighty percent of what
Nick Chubb had been back in the day, okay, as
a part time player, that's not a bad situation, being
all right now. Final points, speaking of disheveled running backs.
(11:36):
Disheveled running backs dateline Buffalo store that has been percolating
over the last couple of days in upstate New York.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
The team that.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Fancies themselves a Super Bowl contender but always finds a
way to screw things up in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
The Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
James Cook, the leader running back in Buffalo. James Cook,
let's just say that he is not planning on showing
up to Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
He wants nothing to do with Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
He wants no part of that city or that region
at all. The Bills running back and not close to
a new deal. In fact, the team's pretty much said
we're not giving you a new deal. And he has
put his house on the market that was originally an
internet rumor. Apparently it's been confirmed and has some recent
(12:32):
commentary that he's already looking around for his new team
and all that stuff. So what does all this tell you?
Doesn't hit you right in the schnaz What does this
tell you? So it tells me everything I need to know?
The classic tune from a different era in the NFL,
bringing Dandy Dawn, Don Meredith, turn out the lots, the
(12:54):
parties over a seiler. It's business. It's more than that though,
it's not just business personal right, this person Cook is cooked.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
He is cooked in a Bill's uniform. He gone.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
He is mentally checked out. And once a player has
mentally checked out, that's it. I go to HR, fill
out the paperwork.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
You're done. You're done.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
You're disconnected. He is disconnected from the organization. And James
Cook is not just skipping workouts, said, well, who cares,
it's June. He's not just skipping workouts, he's essentially skipping
zip codes. He's like, I'm out, and you don't list
your house for sale like that.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Remember Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Before he left the Patriots, he put his house on
the market and there were people.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Like, well, that doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I was.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Generally, it's a pain in the ass to move even
when you're rich. I know, when you're rich, you can
have a bunch of people move your crap, but it's
still a pain in the bud to take everything in
your DMV, your driver's license address, change everything has to
be changed. It's a pain in the book. So you
only do that when you have to do it right.
(14:09):
And so the fact that James Cook is proactively getting
rid of where he lives, that is a dead giveaway.
You've got a contract squabble. The team's pretty much said
you're not that important. And really that's what that that
this gets out to you. James Cook put up solid
numbers in Buffalo last year.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Is a yin to the yang into the yang of
Josh Allen. And this is.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Not hey, I just want a little more money or
a couple of bonuses tossed into the contract.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
This is not that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's more than that, right, This is a James Cook
bird is the word. He's given the bird to the organization.
And he's already thinking about where do I want to
be in September? Do I want to be Miami? Do
I want to be where do I want to be?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
A Chargers. Where would I like to go pick your team?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Mary?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Not not in Buffalo, not in Bubble, somewhere else. He
would like to be somewhere else. He's ghosting New York.
And it's kind of like go back to the pandemic
a couple of years back, and many of us found
out whether we were essential employees or non essential employees, like,
for example, you would think overnight talk radio not essential.
(15:19):
I found out during the pandemic very essential. In fact,
they gave us cards if they had martial law, which
I maybe it'll have here in LA with what's going
on these days, but they gave us a card.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
We're allowed to.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Work because the people need sports takes no matter what.
So we are essential employees.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Doing overnight talk radio.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
But if you're a running back for the Buffalo Bills,
you are non essential. You are non essential. You are
not part of the critical infrastructure that is that football team, clearly,
and I don't disagree with that by the Bills front office.
He's not a one percent running back. James Cook, he
had a nice year. You can find somebody else he
(16:01):
Josh Allen will open things up, and you have a
decent offensive line, you'll figure it out.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
The Rogers Has Landed, The Rogers Has Landed Welo.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
In the beginning of another night of the Ben Malor Show,
we are in the air, aywhere flocking together the change
we need but did not know that we need coast
to coast, border to border and beyond on the mast
(16:42):
and sharply powerful microphones of FSR am monating live from
the dome, the heat dome over the microphone as we're
hanging out here at the Fox Sports Radio Studios as
approved by the legend. And there a slim him, a
proud she's head, a regular p one. He tells me,
(17:06):
if he misses the show, he has to listen to
the podcast seven times. If he misses the live show,
that's dedication. You don't listen seven times, this guy seven times,
Slim Tim and this portion of the Ben Mallin Show
made possible in part by our friends at ty Iraq.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they
(17:28):
drive ship fast and free back by free road hazard
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation see
ferg Dog and Alf slapping high five on that. That's
right tire iraq dot com the way tire buying should be.
So our lead this hour is from Pittsburgh. Play the hits,
(17:49):
mom man, play the hits, all right, well, play the hits.
We have been talking about this particular storyline for months
and months and months and months and months, and here
we are the obligatory Mallard monologue on the life and
times the stylings of mister Rogers. That's right, mister Rogers Neighborhood,
(18:09):
which was produced by public television in Pittsburgh, and now
mister Rogers is going to be playing quarterback for the
hometown team. There Aaron Rodgers arrived. Oh so exciting. I'm emotional.
I'm for Clemped, I am Iverclemped. Rogers arrived there first
day of mandatory mini camp. You always remember your first time.
(18:30):
And he put on that Steeler uniform at the practice
facility right there, and he spoke with the media.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
He waxed loquacious, and I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Know if you heard what he had to say or not,
perhaps not, but Aaron Rodgers going on and on for
the first time as a member of the Pittsburgh football team. Now,
keep in mind he did want to play for the Vikings.
They didn't want him, and he even talked to the Giants.
He must have been on some mayahuasca when he talked
to the Giants. When you're talking the Giants, you already
play with the Jets. You've experienced suck football in the
(19:00):
New York tri state area.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Why would you want to play with the other suck team.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Anyway, he ends up in Pittsburgh, and so there were
discussions with other other teams, but he ends up going there. Now,
we chopped up a couple of clips for you from
Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Here.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
He covered a wide range of topics. It was like
fifteen minutes, so it wasn't that long. You can watch
the whole thing if you want, but this is pretty boring,
so we'll just give you the highlights.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
That's all you need. You don't need the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
You think the time is the most valuable commodity you have,
so why waste it listening to that? So let me
little taste here, little just to taste, just a little
taste there so airin Roger. Now you explain why he
waited so long. The long national nightmare came doing why
did he wait so long to go and sign that contract?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
And now listen closely because this is a telling answer.
Tike a, listen.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
I don't want to short change the guys and be
you know, sign but be elsewhere mentally or physically, so
until I could be.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Here and all in. You know, I need to take
care of my business.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Okay, got to take care of my business now. But wait,
there's more.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Rogers says he chose to play for the Steelers after
doing some soul searching.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
I don't need it for my ego.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
I don't need it. No, keep playing. No. A lot
of decisions that I've.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Made over my career and life from strictly the ego. Yeah,
even if they turn out well or always unfulfilling, that's right.
Decisions made yes from the soul. Soul are usually pretty fulfilling.
So this was a decision that was best for my soul.
And I felt like being here with Coach t and
the guys. I got here and the opportunity here was
the best for me.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
And then I'm excited to be here.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah, I do the same thing. When I come in
here and do sports takes, I do it from the soul.
I do my sports takes are from the soul. And
when they're not from the soul, I'm not fulfilled. I'm
not all right. So let us discuss the question. Can
you parse the words we.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Gave you some of them?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Can you the words of Aaron Rogers and his commentary
on the first formal.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Media conference by Aaron Rodgers as a Pittsburgh seer.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
So I've got bull Durham, dead air, and mausoleum, and
we will combine all of these things together, and we're
gonna make a Pittsburgh sandwich, which is a sandwich. What's
the Pittsburgh samis, Well, that's a sandwich. Will you put
the fries on top of the sandwich. That's a Pittsburgh sanwiche.
And we're not gonna make Pittsburgh pizza, which is disgusting.
(21:31):
In the Greater Pittsburgh area, they have that pizza where
they don't cook the cheese and the toppings.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Pee ye what stings?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Anyway, get to the point, please, So, in terms of
parsing the words of Aaron Rodgers. This is rather straightforward.
It's rather straightforward. It's by the book to the letter.
If you will, we'll go that far. Now, Rogers, for
much of this he went what we call Bull Durham.
That's an old baseball movie. It's a classic if you
(21:57):
haven't seen it. The famous scene where Crap Davis, one
of the characters in the Baseball movie there, gives advice
to new clalouge and he said, you're gonna have to
learn your cliches. So I gotta have to learn your cliches.
You're gonna have to study them, and you're gonna have
to know them. They're your friends, all right, that's your friends.
And so Roger's been around you. It's not his first barbecue,
(22:19):
and so Rodgers knows a thing or two about cliches.
And he's very mechanical for much of it, as we
anticipated he would be. For the most party, smooched the
Steeler history, smooth smooth smooch. Gave a big wet kiss
to the Pittsburgh they inser crowd there, talked about all
the people that he's worked with or are from western
(22:39):
Pennsylvania and all that stuff, and he was going, now
the first SoundBite that we played, though, the first SoundBite
that we played that was telling because Rogers confirmed what
we had been hearing. He said the quiet part out loud.
He said, what it sounded like to men? Play that
(23:00):
cut one? Let even play that again. Let's play that
cut one. He listened to Rogers here because I think
it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
I didn't want to short change the guys and be,
you know, sign but be elsewhere mentally or physically, so
until I could be here and be all in, you know,
I need.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
To take care of my business, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
So the way I interpreted that using the Malo Rosetta
stone is that Aaron Rodgers is still bitter that he
got ripped when he was with the Jets for going
to the Pyramids in Egypt, and he's still bitter about that.
So he had things planned. We'll get to that in
a second what he was planning. But Aaron Rodgers like, hey,
I'm not doing it again. All right, I'll play for you,
(23:38):
but I'm gonna wait until I'm done with all of
my itinerary and all of my travel plans, and then
only then I will sign with your stupid football team.
And if you don't want it, that's fine. That's what
he did. He didn't want to hassle. He had trips
planned around the world. He has passport burning a hole
in his pocket. He wanted to use his passport. So
(24:00):
that's it. He just bounced around and that's what he did.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And he waited and he's done with his travel, so
he's like, Okay, I'll now attend the team functions and
the workouts and all that crap.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
And he confirmed it. That is confirmation. That is confirmation
what you heard from Rogers' confirmation. Now, as for the
soul searching and satisfaction for your soul, that was mostly
a bubble bath for Mike Tomlin, suck up to your
new boss and curry favor romance between Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Now page two.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
The other big storyline. The other big storyline here is
that Aaron Rodgers also confirmed that one of the things
that he was busy doing this offseason was getting married.
Oh my god, it's a tabloid starts true. Rogers showed
up to the Kentucky Derby with the wedding band, and
some people thought that was like a ssy op. That
(24:59):
was like some kind of weird trick that Rogers was doing. Now,
some guys are going down of the pawnshop to get
a wedding band because they for some reason, women are
more attracted to men who have a wedding band. Go figure. Anyway,
Rogers actually got married. He confirmed it. He's got a
new wife. Off season wedding. He's been married for at
least a couple of months. And what intrigues you, though, question,
(25:25):
what intrigues you most about the fact that this is
a pretty big development?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I said, who cares? It's a tabloid story man.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Okay, but it's a kind of a big deal. So
what intrigues you most? So for me, it's the dead air.
It's the dead air. I have nightmares about dead air.
Actually day meares because I sleep during the day. But
I have issues with the dead air. Radio silence, another problem,
radio sounds. We talked about a public figure, a polarizing
(25:57):
figure in Aaron Rodgers, a man that lives in Malibu.
Bou a right, lives in Malibu, the part that didn't
burn down, and they have an infestation in Malibu with paparazzo.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
They're everywhere. The paparazzi's all over the place. And there
was no week.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
We didn't see TMZ helicopters flying overhead. No ex girlfriend
or ex buddy spilling the beans on the gram, none
of that. That's unreal to my knowledge as I understand
the story. There were no photos. Still, the tabloids are
losing their mind. There are no photos of his wife.
(26:35):
We know her name, but there's no photos. The Daily
Mail and the New York Post are losing it. Oh
my god, we've got to find a photos.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Woman.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
We down.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I'm like, cause you look like now. They got there
trying to get the bottom of it, and everyone everyone's like,
I don't know who. We know kind of her name,
but that's it. We don't know who she is. The
thing about they've been married for a couple of months.
I assume if you're married, you normally live together. So
they've never.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Gone out in public together in Malibu, at the paparazzo,
outside every grocery store and restaurant in Melbourne. There's no
photos of them together, like walking on the beach, even
nothing that's bizarre. And they said, wow, maybe they eloped. Okay,
they eloped, I eloped. E eloped in Hawaii. Okay, But
even if you elope, there's always somebody at the courthouse
(27:20):
who has to fill out and file the paperwork, even
if it's done digitally, And those people can call the
tip line at Harvey Levin's office over their TMZ and
make ten grand saying, hey, I got Aaron Rodgers got
married to this broad over got on her name, but
here's her name and a boom done. Ten grand in
your pocket could be a twenty five thousand dollars story.
(27:43):
Nobody did that. So he said he's married, he's got
the wedding. Is he actually designed the paper? Is this
just like a full wedding.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
I don't know. I don't know, so it's interesting to me.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
He had another quarterback, Josh Allen, who had a celebrity,
and there were helicopters overhead, there were paparazzo outside. He
got married in Santa Barbara and there were a bunch
of people there. Now we know rogers family likely was
not his wedding. He doesn't like them, so he wasn't
with his family. But to keep everyone on there, even
his friends are claiming I thought they were lying. Maybe
(28:16):
they were lying that ah, they didn't know about it,
like nobody knew about it. So Rogers he's playing chess.
He's playing four D chess on this one to keep
everyone out of the loop, dodging the tabloids like would
be tacklers running with the football there, ducking the paparazzi
as they try to get a photo of him living
(28:37):
his life off the grid in a very very public place.
So forget audibles. This is not an audible. This is
a misdirection play, is what this is. Now the last
word here we head to Cleveland, where the football sucks,
but the sound bites are not bad. The sound bites
(28:57):
are not bad. So us quote from defensive and Miles.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Garrett you know who he is.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, he's the guy that almost killed the Steelers quarterback
a couple of years ago, threw his helmet at him,
went four. Didn't connect, or Miles Garrett would not be
in the NFL right now. Anyway, Miles Garrett is in
the NFL. And he was asked about Aaron Rodgers being
a divisional opponent, which means you get to play him twice.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
And here is what Aaron Rodgers' opponent here. Miles Garrett
had to say, take a lis what I think about it? Yeah,
I think it's a good opportunity.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
To put him in the graveyard.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Oh my god, he wants to kill him. Call the cops.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Miles Garrett wants to murder Aaron Rodgers violence.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
I know, so you heard it. The Browns defensive end.
Miles Garrett asked about Aaron Rodgers joining the Steelers, and
he said, I think it's quote.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I think it's good opportunity to put him in the graveyard.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Close.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Do you see that actually happening ending Rogers' career? Well,
not because of Miles Garrett making a sack on Aaron Rodgers.
We do not see that, right, We do not see
that at all. Aaron Rodgers joining the Steelers. By the way,
spoiler alert, spoiler alert, Aaron Rodgers did join the Steelers
(30:22):
from the other side, from the other side of the
Pearly Gates. He was in a mausoleum. He played for
the Jets. When you play for the Jets, it's like
living in a burial chamber. When you're playing for the Jets.
Your career dies when you play there. It just does.
It did for Aaron Rodgers, right, And so Rogers is
(30:44):
looking to be Poltergeist and come back to haunt Gang
Green by turning out to be the player they thought
the Jets were getting. But do it with the Pittsburgh
Steelers and all that and woo spooky spooky, spooky spooky
Aaron Rodgers. Now as for a Miles Garrett, As for
Miles Garrett, it's it's a good quip. Guys got big
(31:04):
feet known as bigfoot, so good good quip by him.
And now Miles Garrett should know a thing or two
about quarterbacks being put into the graveyard. He has witnessed
many of his teammates who played quarterback put in the graveyard,
so he knows what that's like. He knows the visual
on that. And playing for the Browns, boy, there's a
lot of bodies buried, and they're Brown quarterbacks. There a wasteland,
(31:30):
a wasteland for a quarterback's career.

Speaker 3 (37:10):

Speaker 6 (37:13):
Oh uh yeah he did it again, Ben Well?
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Who who?
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Who?
Speaker 6 (37:19):
Uh? That guy when the Yankees were here, he wouldn't
sign autographs.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Which guy are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (37:30):
The guy who hit the home runs for the Yankees
all the time?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Oh Aaron Judge.
Speaker 6 (37:37):
Yeah, for a second time he ran into He said
he only signed for kids.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Did you tell me you're well? Give me the backstorre?
Where did you run in? Where did Helmet Man run
into Aaron Judge?
Speaker 6 (37:51):
Out in West Hollywood?
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Oh this is a good story.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
Okay, so I think this then endorsements and uh, they
don't want to be seen doing it might affect their adorsement.
He probably have an agreement.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Where what what club?
Speaker 7 (38:10):
Was he in?
Speaker 3 (38:10):
A club or a bar or a restaurant? Where was he?
He was a a what were you doing? What were
you doing over there?
Speaker 6 (38:19):
Out the seven stuff?
Speaker 7 (38:24):
So that's that's exactly why he wouldn't give you an autograph.
Speaker 6 (38:28):
Yeah, he didn't buy anything, but he just gave me
a kip for something.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Oh he gave you some money.
Speaker 6 (38:37):
Yeah, he didn't want to buy anything.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Judge gave you. I'd rather have Aaron Judges money than
his autogram. You gotta done.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
That's pretty cool though, that is Yeah, that's a nice
that's a nice thing.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
I think if they have an adorsement agreement, not.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
The no, they don't.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
They just they don't want you re exactly. They know
you're gonna say what you should have done. My move
would have been, well, I have kids and they really
love you and you're breaking their heart.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
If I could have done that, yeah, that would have
been a got.
Speaker 6 (39:12):
The best record.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
They just I'm not I'm not just gonna let the
fact that you ran into Aaron Judge at a restaurant
in West Hollywood go. Let's play round robin. How much
money do we think that? Don't answer this yet, Helmet Man,
don't ruin the game. How much money did helmet did
Helmet Man get from New York Yankees MVP Aaron Judge
(39:35):
at a random restaurant in West Hollywood when the Yankees
were in Los Angeles play the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
I'll go first. I think he gave you forty dollars.
I'm gonna go forty dollars. Lorena, Oh, that's a good best.
That's not that much forty dollars now, you know I
was thinking about there, let's go with a hundred.
Speaker 6 (39:57):
Yeah, you did.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Ahead one hundred by congratulations. Actually, I'm actually shocked. That's
pretty good.
Speaker 6 (40:11):
I have a lame help.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
No, no, I'm not done with the Aaron Judge story.
I'm not ready to move on from the Aaron Judge
I'm not all right. So Aaron, let's do some mall
mallarn math. Aaron Judge. You know his contract with the Yankees,
you know what it is.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
I'm a man what.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
He signed a three three hundred and sixty million dollar contracts. Yeah,
so what is one hundred one hundred dollars out of
three hundred because you.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Just you just took some of his money there, You
just took away some of his money. How much how
much money has he got on him at any given time?
Speaker 7 (40:51):
You know?
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Oh, that's like a.
Speaker 6 (40:53):
Little bit of money for them because they kicked the
people in the restaur run.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Yeah, they get pret deem the baseball players, and I'm
sure it's a lot more than when I was around
the guys and the Dodgers years ago.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
When they go on the road, though, they're given like
tip money to pay for yeah, to tip the people.
And that's not that's not like part concluded in their
their contract. That's it's bonus.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
It used to because it used to be because they
would take they would take taxis, but now they obviously
use ubers or whatever.
Speaker 6 (41:24):
So yeah, what's the year of the underdog? People making
money on the n b A and they think the
Indiana might win? Uh later today, Oklahoma have to the
switch up?
Speaker 1 (41:41):

Speaker 3 (01:08):
By the Green Bay Gobbler.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Who knows that this portion of the Ben Malor Show
maybe possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
That's right, for over forty years, it's a long time,
Alf tells me. That's a long time. Tire Rack has
been helping customers find the right tires for how what
and where they drive ship fast and free back by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
(01:34):
tire installation, tire rack dot com, the watire Buying Show.
So our lead this hour is from the A. T. L.
The atl The dirty birds aren't doing a damn thing.
They're not They're not having If you saw this you
might know where I'm going with it.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
You know, I love talking Atlanta Falcon football. Are we
not on the pulse of the people. Don't answer that.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
We have a trade rumor update, a trade rumor update.
The word on the street. The word on.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The street is that the Falcons have been desperately trying
to trade quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Or they got him last offseason.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
They were all excited about that, and then they drafted
another quarterback, so they've been trying to get rid of him,
and now the quarterback market is bone dry. According to
the latest reporting, Atlanta was eager to say bye bye
to Cousins and until they weren't, and then turned out
they didn't really want to eat the big portion of
(02:40):
the contract that would have been required there. They didn't
have enough barbecue sauce in Atlanta to do that, and
so now the quarterback carousel has begun, Cousins is left
searching for a ride I want on the carousel, and
the horse is not there. In fact, very odd that
a horse on a carousel would leave the barn, but
(03:01):
that appears to be what happened here. And so supposedly
Pittsburgh was the last best shot for Kirk Cousins until
Aaron Rogers knocked on the door and they opened the door.
And that's it. So long story short, three words. Nobody
wants him. Nobody wants him. So let us discuss the
(03:26):
question stuck in Atlanta, what is the forecast? What is
the forecast for Kirk Cousins's NFL future at this moment?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Two day?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So I've got tumbleweeds, advanced degree, and dandy dawn, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make some twisted pizza dough, is.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
What we're going to make. So number why the forecast?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
And we're never wrong about these things because we have
the power of the bully pul with the power of
the microphone, the power of the headphones, the tools of ignorance.
So the forecast for Kirk Cousins NFL future looking at
the long term weather modules. Right, looking at all the
models and modules and all that stuff. The Doppler radar
left behind by Roberto who quit radio to live his
(04:19):
dream as.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
A bus driver.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
So the Doppler radar shows here that the Falcons are
experiencing what's known as climate whiplash. It's a relatively new term,
climate whiplash, but a rapid shift between posing weather extremes
opposing weather extremes, from a flooding to drought, from flooding
(04:43):
to drought drout. So we are talking about a desolate
desert devoid of any precipitation, a desolate desert devoid of
any precipitation, and a market that is the only thing
there you can see moving around is tumbleweeds. It's a
lot of tumbleweeds blowing around. That's an invasive speeches that
(05:03):
came to America from Russia and stuck there. His cousins
on the dance floor. Now he is on the dance floor.
That's the good news. He's doing the dance move, the limbo,
how low can you go? How low can you go?
And no trades. Really, what he's waiting for is breakfast.
Kirk Cousins is waiting for breakfast because he knows at
(05:24):
one point in the upcoming month and then the next
two months actually because to you know, we're doing the
show in early June, and you've got the rest of
this month and then most of July before training camp
opens up.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Somewhere between now.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
An early part of training camp, a quarterback in the NFL,
a starting quarterback will go out and have.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
A big bowl of rice crispies.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
And they'll have a little milk, and then they'll take
the spoon and they'll put the spoon in and then
they'll have snap, crackle, pop. And at that point, when
you have the snap, crackle and pop, that means you
need another quarterback.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Is that Mahomes hurting his ankle? Is that Josh Allen
going a little too heavy on his honeymoon and having
a groin injury.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I don't know. Is that Lamar Jackson having a knee problem?
Who knows?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
But Boom goes to Dynamite and that is when the
portal will open up again for Kirk Cousins. And the
Saints are the only team, the only one that does
not have a quarterback in the NFL. They're not even trying,
the fact that they're not even trying in Orleans would
lead you to believe that they're just tanking and they're
one of the teams is going to try to get
Arch Manning for marketing reasons and do the whole Manning
(06:33):
family connection.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Thing and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And so that's it. Now Atlanta does have to act
relatively fast. And the reason they have to act relatively
fast is because they're banking on Raheem Morris, who somehow
has a head coaching job in the NFL game. Raheem
Morris and the Falcons are banking on the second year
jumpity jump for Michael Pennex Junior that he's going to
(06:56):
jump on a trampoline.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And to the moon, to the moon, to the moon,
to the moon.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And so you gotta clear the runway, gotta get rid
of the things on the Romlane. Cousins, right now is
some debris that's clearing the possible takeoff of Michael Pennix.
You and your now page two. We did have a
pending pending roster move over the weekend. What is the
pending roster move? Nick Chubb a lob blub formerly known
(07:25):
as Nick Chubb. Nick Chubb a love blob. The former
I say, former Cleveland Browns running back coming off back
to back seasons with massive career altering injuries. Well, Nick
Chubb has reportedly agreed to a deal with a new team.
He is taking his talents to the Texans, pending a physical.
(07:47):
That's a big pending a physical addendum, So are you
giving this move a thumbs up.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Or a thumb's down?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Nick Chubb going to Houston after a thorough review, a
minutes long, minutes long deliberation, with our copious amounts of research,
we are giving this a full thumbs up. Now, not
two thumbs up, but one full solid thumbs up, the
thumb standing high and proud. It is smart football. It
(08:18):
is smart football because it's it's a short term deal.
It's a power play, power play by the Texas. So
Houston is not betting the family jewels. Right, that's a
one year low risk if the reports are Accurate's one
year low risk contract.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Is that it's a flyer. You know, when you park
your car.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And at like a sporting event or a concert and
you come out and there's a flyer on the windshield wiper.
That's all this is. It's a flyer. They put that out,
maybe one out of two thousand people will actually buy
the product. But you're just doing that right. He's he's
a guy who was on a dog Food Cleveland team,
(08:58):
a spark plug Nick Chubb, so went healthy and that
is a massive, massive win. That's any ifs and butts
were candy and nuts, you'd celebrate every day, but you don't.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
And when he's right, he's got the breakaway ability, or
had the breakaway ability of a top five running back
in the NFL explosive efficient powerful, a nightmare for opposing
defensive players here, and the problem is his doppelganger has
been Humpty Dumpty, and when your doppelganger is Humpty Dumpty,
(09:34):
it does not go well.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Forget the spaghetti and meatballs because he left the spaghetti out.
What Nick Chubb has been doing the last couple of
years is adding meat ball surgery after meatball surgery. He's
twenty nine and Chubb has not played a full game
since what Week fourteen last season, and then the year
before he got hurt and I think.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
It was a week two.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I believe it was Week two of the regular season,
So it's been a while. Since he played all the
games and he's a crash test dummy is what he is.
And so he's got he had the sprained ankle, and
he had the ligament messed up in his knee and
is a complete just everything was shredded, shred tred, shred tred,
shred tred red. And so he had the heel the
(10:20):
acl that was the bugaboo, and then he had the
broken foot this past season and now he is not
understand it if he does pass the physical, which is
very hard not to pass, if the team wants he
it's very hard not to pass the physical. And they
brought Chubb in and so I would assume Houston wants him.
(10:41):
Why else would they do that. They could just you know,
go out and sign mister irrigation to play running back.
But anyway, nonetheless, so Nick Chobb will not be asked
to be the bell cow back.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
It's going to be an ensemble.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Backfield because you're gonna have Nick Chabb back there and
Joe Mixing. So that's the one two punch, which means
Nick Chubb would be what he would be the goal line,
goal line kind of closer. That type of running back
does not have to be Superman and leap tall buildings
(11:12):
in a single you know what, And as Larry David
will say, that would be pretty pretty good if you
can mix and match and intertwine Joe Mixon and Nick Chubb. Right,
and if you're getting seventy or eighty percent of what
Nick Chubb had been back in the day, okay, as
a part time player, that's not a bad situation, being
all right now. Final points, speaking of disheveled running backs.
(11:36):
Disheveled running backs dateline Buffalo store that has been percolating
over the last couple of days in upstate New York.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
The team that.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Fancies themselves a Super Bowl contender but always finds a
way to screw things up in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
The Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
James Cook, the leader running back in Buffalo. James Cook,
let's just say that he is not planning on showing
up to Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
He wants nothing to do with Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
He wants no part of that city or that region
at all. The Bills running back and not close to
a new deal. In fact, the team's pretty much said
we're not giving you a new deal. And he has
put his house on the market that was originally an
internet rumor. Apparently it's been confirmed and has some recent
(12:32):
commentary that he's already looking around for his new team
and all that stuff. So what does all this tell you?
Doesn't hit you right in the schnaz What does this
tell you? So it tells me everything I need to know?
The classic tune from a different era in the NFL,
bringing Dandy Dawn, Don Meredith, turn out the lots, the
(12:54):
parties over a seiler. It's business. It's more than that though,
it's not just business personal right, this person Cook is cooked.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
He is cooked in a Bill's uniform. He gone.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
He is mentally checked out. And once a player has
mentally checked out, that's it. I go to HR, fill
out the paperwork.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
You're done. You're done.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
You're disconnected. He is disconnected from the organization. And James
Cook is not just skipping workouts, said, well, who cares,
it's June. He's not just skipping workouts, he's essentially skipping
zip codes. He's like, I'm out, and you don't list
your house for sale like that.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Remember Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Before he left the Patriots, he put his house on
the market and there were people.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Like, well, that doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I was.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Generally, it's a pain in the ass to move even
when you're rich. I know, when you're rich, you can
have a bunch of people move your crap, but it's
still a pain in the bud to take everything in
your DMV, your driver's license address, change everything has to
be changed. It's a pain in the book. So you
only do that when you have to do it right.
(14:09):
And so the fact that James Cook is proactively getting
rid of where he lives, that is a dead giveaway.
You've got a contract squabble. The team's pretty much said
you're not that important. And really that's what that that
this gets out to you. James Cook put up solid
numbers in Buffalo last year.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Is a yin to the yang into the yang of
Josh Allen. And this is.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Not hey, I just want a little more money or
a couple of bonuses tossed into the contract.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
This is not that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's more than that, right, This is a James Cook
bird is the word. He's given the bird to the organization.
And he's already thinking about where do I want to
be in September? Do I want to be Miami? Do
I want to be where do I want to be?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
A Chargers. Where would I like to go pick your team?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Mary?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Not not in Buffalo, not in Bubble, somewhere else. He
would like to be somewhere else. He's ghosting New York.
And it's kind of like go back to the pandemic
a couple of years back, and many of us found
out whether we were essential employees or non essential employees, like,
for example, you would think overnight talk radio not essential.
(15:19):
I found out during the pandemic very essential. In fact,
they gave us cards if they had martial law, which
I maybe it'll have here in LA with what's going
on these days, but they gave us a card.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
We're allowed to.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Work because the people need sports takes no matter what.
So we are essential employees.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Doing overnight talk radio.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
But if you're a running back for the Buffalo Bills,
you are non essential. You are non essential. You are
not part of the critical infrastructure that is that football team, clearly,
and I don't disagree with that by the Bills front office.
He's not a one percent running back. James Cook, he
had a nice year. You can find somebody else he
(16:01):
Josh Allen will open things up, and you have a
decent offensive line, you'll figure it out.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor

In the beginning of another night of the Ben Malor Show,

So our lead this hour is from Pittsburgh. Play the hits,
(17:49):
mom man, play the hits, all right, well, play the hits.
We have been talking about this particular storyline for months
and months and months and months and months, and here
we are the obligatory Mallard monologue on the life and
times the stylings of mister Rogers. That's right, mister Rogers Neighborhood,
(18:09):
which was produced by public television in Pittsburgh, and now
mister Rogers is going to be playing quarterback for the
hometown team. There Aaron Rodgers arrived. Oh so exciting. I'm emotional.
I'm for Clemped, I am Iverclemped. Rogers arrived there first
day of mandatory mini camp. You always remember your first time.
(18:30):
And he put on that Steeler uniform at the practice
facility right there, and he spoke with the media.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
He waxed loquacious, and I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Know if you heard what he had to say or not,
perhaps not, but Aaron Rodgers going on and on for
the first time as a member of the Pittsburgh football team. Now,
keep in mind he did want to play for the Vikings.
They didn't want him, and he even talked to the Giants.
He must have been on some mayahuasca when he talked
to the Giants. When you're talking the Giants, you already
play with the Jets. You've experienced suck football in the
(19:00):
New York tri state area.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Why would you want to play with the other suck team.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Anyway, he ends up in Pittsburgh, and so there were
discussions with other other teams, but he ends up going there. Now,
we chopped up a couple of clips for you from
Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Here.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
He covered a wide range of topics. It was like
fifteen minutes, so it wasn't that long. You can watch
the whole thing if you want, but this is pretty boring,
so we'll just give you the highlights.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
That's all you need. You don't need the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
You think the time is the most valuable commodity you have,
so why waste it listening to that? So let me
little taste here, little just to taste, just a little
taste there so airin Roger. Now you explain why he
waited so long. The long national nightmare came doing why
did he wait so long to go and sign that contract?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
And now listen closely because this is a telling answer.
Tike a, listen.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
I don't want to short change the guys and be
you know, sign but be elsewhere mentally or physically, so
until I could be.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Here and all in. You know, I need to take
care of my business.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Okay, got to take care of my business now. But wait,
there's more.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Rogers says he chose to play for the Steelers after
doing some soul searching.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
I don't need it for my ego.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
I don't need it. No, keep playing. No. A lot
of decisions that I've.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Made over my career and life from strictly the ego. Yeah,
even if they turn out well or always unfulfilling, that's right.
Decisions made yes from the soul. Soul are usually pretty fulfilling.
So this was a decision that was best for my soul.
And I felt like being here with Coach t and
the guys. I got here and the opportunity here was
the best for me.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
And then I'm excited to be here.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah, I do the same thing. When I come in
here and do sports takes, I do it from the soul.
I do my sports takes are from the soul. And
when they're not from the soul, I'm not fulfilled. I'm
not all right. So let us discuss the question. Can
you parse the words we.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Gave you some of them?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Can you the words of Aaron Rogers and his commentary
on the first formal.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Media conference by Aaron Rodgers as a Pittsburgh seer.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
So I've got bull Durham, dead air, and mausoleum, and
we will combine all of these things together, and we're
gonna make a Pittsburgh sandwich, which is a sandwich. What's
the Pittsburgh samis, Well, that's a sandwich. Will you put
the fries on top of the sandwich. That's a Pittsburgh sanwiche.
And we're not gonna make Pittsburgh pizza, which is disgusting.
(21:31):
In the Greater Pittsburgh area, they have that pizza where
they don't cook the cheese and the toppings.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Pee ye what stings?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Anyway, get to the point, please, So, in terms of
parsing the words of Aaron Rodgers. This is rather straightforward.
It's rather straightforward. It's by the book to the letter.
If you will, we'll go that far. Now, Rogers, for
much of this he went what we call Bull Durham.
That's an old baseball movie. It's a classic if you
(21:57):
haven't seen it. The famous scene where Crap Davis, one
of the characters in the Baseball movie there, gives advice
to new clalouge and he said, you're gonna have to
learn your cliches. So I gotta have to learn your cliches.
You're gonna have to study them, and you're gonna have
to know them. They're your friends, all right, that's your friends.
And so Roger's been around you. It's not his first barbecue,
(22:19):
and so Rodgers knows a thing or two about cliches.
And he's very mechanical for much of it, as we
anticipated he would be. For the most party, smooched the
Steeler history, smooth smooth smooch. Gave a big wet kiss
to the Pittsburgh they inser crowd there, talked about all
the people that he's worked with or are from western
(22:39):
Pennsylvania and all that stuff, and he was going, now
the first SoundBite that we played, though, the first SoundBite
that we played that was telling because Rogers confirmed what
we had been hearing. He said the quiet part out loud.
He said, what it sounded like to men? Play that
(23:00):
cut one? Let even play that again. Let's play that
cut one. He listened to Rogers here because I think
it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
I didn't want to short change the guys and be,
you know, sign but be elsewhere mentally or physically, so
until I could be here and be all in, you know,
I need.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
To take care of my business, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
So the way I interpreted that using the Malo Rosetta
stone is that Aaron Rodgers is still bitter that he
got ripped when he was with the Jets for going
to the Pyramids in Egypt, and he's still bitter about that.
So he had things planned. We'll get to that in
a second what he was planning. But Aaron Rodgers like, hey,
I'm not doing it again. All right, I'll play for you,
(23:38):
but I'm gonna wait until I'm done with all of
my itinerary and all of my travel plans, and then
only then I will sign with your stupid football team.
And if you don't want it, that's fine. That's what
he did. He didn't want to hassle. He had trips
planned around the world. He has passport burning a hole
in his pocket. He wanted to use his passport. So
(24:00):
that's it. He just bounced around and that's what he did.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And he waited and he's done with his travel, so
he's like, Okay, I'll now attend the team functions and
the workouts and all that crap.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
And he confirmed it. That is confirmation. That is confirmation
what you heard from Rogers' confirmation. Now, as for the
soul searching and satisfaction for your soul, that was mostly
a bubble bath for Mike Tomlin, suck up to your
new boss and curry favor romance between Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Now page two.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
The other big storyline. The other big storyline here is
that Aaron Rodgers also confirmed that one of the things
that he was busy doing this offseason was getting married.
Oh my god, it's a tabloid starts true. Rogers showed
up to the Kentucky Derby with the wedding band, and
some people thought that was like a ssy op. That
(24:59):
was like some kind of weird trick that Rogers was doing. Now,
some guys are going down of the pawnshop to get
a wedding band because they for some reason, women are
more attracted to men who have a wedding band. Go figure. Anyway,
Rogers actually got married. He confirmed it. He's got a
new wife. Off season wedding. He's been married for at
least a couple of months. And what intrigues you, though, question,
(25:25):
what intrigues you most about the fact that this is
a pretty big development?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I said, who cares? It's a tabloid story man.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Okay, but it's a kind of a big deal. So
what intrigues you most? So for me, it's the dead air.
It's the dead air. I have nightmares about dead air.
Actually day meares because I sleep during the day. But
I have issues with the dead air. Radio silence, another problem,
radio sounds. We talked about a public figure, a polarizing
(25:57):
figure in Aaron Rodgers, a man that lives in Malibu.
Bou a right, lives in Malibu, the part that didn't
burn down, and they have an infestation in Malibu with paparazzo.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
They're everywhere. The paparazzi's all over the place. And there
was no week.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
We didn't see TMZ helicopters flying overhead. No ex girlfriend
or ex buddy spilling the beans on the gram, none
of that. That's unreal to my knowledge as I understand
the story. There were no photos. Still, the tabloids are
losing their mind. There are no photos of his wife.
(26:35):
We know her name, but there's no photos. The Daily
Mail and the New York Post are losing it. Oh
my god, we've got to find a photos.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Woman.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
We down.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I'm like, cause you look like now. They got there
trying to get the bottom of it, and everyone everyone's like,
I don't know who. We know kind of her name,
but that's it. We don't know who she is. The
thing about they've been married for a couple of months.
I assume if you're married, you normally live together. So
they've never.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Gone out in public together in Malibu, at the paparazzo,
outside every grocery store and restaurant in Melbourne. There's no
photos of them together, like walking on the beach, even
nothing that's bizarre. And they said, wow, maybe they eloped. Okay,
they eloped, I eloped. E eloped in Hawaii. Okay, But
even if you elope, there's always somebody at the courthouse
(27:20):
who has to fill out and file the paperwork, even
if it's done digitally, And those people can call the
tip line at Harvey Levin's office over their TMZ and
make ten grand saying, hey, I got Aaron Rodgers got
married to this broad over got on her name, but
here's her name and a boom done. Ten grand in
your pocket could be a twenty five thousand dollars story.
(27:43):
Nobody did that. So he said he's married, he's got
the wedding. Is he actually designed the paper? Is this
just like a full wedding.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
I don't know. I don't know, so it's interesting to me.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
He had another quarterback, Josh Allen, who had a celebrity,
and there were helicopters overhead, there were paparazzo outside. He
got married in Santa Barbara and there were a bunch
of people there. Now we know rogers family likely was
not his wedding. He doesn't like them, so he wasn't
with his family. But to keep everyone on there, even
his friends are claiming I thought they were lying. Maybe
(28:16):
they were lying that ah, they didn't know about it,
like nobody knew about it. So Rogers he's playing chess.
He's playing four D chess on this one to keep
everyone out of the loop, dodging the tabloids like would
be tacklers running with the football there, ducking the paparazzi
as they try to get a photo of him living
(28:37):
his life off the grid in a very very public place.
So forget audibles. This is not an audible. This is
a misdirection play, is what this is. Now the last
word here we head to Cleveland, where the football sucks,
but the sound bites are not bad. The sound bites
(28:57):
are not bad. So us quote from defensive and Miles.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Garrett you know who he is.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, he's the guy that almost killed the Steelers quarterback
a couple of years ago, threw his helmet at him,
went four. Didn't connect, or Miles Garrett would not be
in the NFL right now. Anyway, Miles Garrett is in
the NFL. And he was asked about Aaron Rodgers being
a divisional opponent, which means you get to play him twice.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
And here is what Aaron Rodgers' opponent here. Miles Garrett
had to say, take a lis what I think about it? Yeah,
I think it's a good opportunity.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
To put him in the graveyard.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Oh my god, he wants to kill him. Call the cops.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Miles Garrett wants to murder Aaron Rodgers violence.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
I know, so you heard it. The Browns defensive end.
Miles Garrett asked about Aaron Rodgers joining the Steelers, and
he said, I think it's quote.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I think it's good opportunity to put him in the graveyard.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Close.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Do you see that actually happening ending Rogers' career? Well,
not because of Miles Garrett making a sack on Aaron Rodgers.
We do not see that, right, We do not see
that at all. Aaron Rodgers joining the Steelers. By the way,
spoiler alert, spoiler alert, Aaron Rodgers did join the Steelers
(30:22):
from the other side, from the other side of the
Pearly Gates. He was in a mausoleum. He played for
the Jets. When you play for the Jets, it's like
living in a burial chamber. When you're playing for the Jets.
Your career dies when you play there. It just does.
It did for Aaron Rodgers, right, And so Rogers is
(30:44):
looking to be Poltergeist and come back to haunt Gang
Green by turning out to be the player they thought
the Jets were getting. But do it with the Pittsburgh
Steelers and all that and woo spooky spooky, spooky spooky
Aaron Rodgers. Now as for a Miles Garrett, As for
Miles Garrett, it's it's a good quip. Guys got big
(31:04):
feet known as bigfoot, so good good quip by him.
And now Miles Garrett should know a thing or two
about quarterbacks being put into the graveyard. He has witnessed
many of his teammates who played quarterback put in the graveyard,
so he knows what that's like. He knows the visual
on that. And playing for the Browns, boy, there's a
lot of bodies buried, and they're Brown quarterbacks. There a wasteland,
(31:30):
a wasteland for a quarterback's career.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Now,
Malord's Mountain of money? Do you have what it takes

into Aaron Judge?
Speaker 6 (37:51):
Out in West Hollywood?
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Oh this is a good story.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
Okay, so I think this then endorsements and uh, they
don't want to be seen doing it might affect their adorsement.
He probably have an agreement.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Where what what club?
Speaker 7 (38:10):
Was he in?
Speaker 3 (38:10):
A club or a bar or a restaurant? Where was he?
He was a a what were you doing? What were
you doing over there?
Speaker 6 (38:19):
Out the seven stuff?
Speaker 7 (38:24):
So that's that's exactly why he wouldn't give you an autograph.

Yeah, he didn't buy anything, but he just gave me
a kip for something.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Oh he gave you some money.
Speaker 6 (38:37):

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Judge gave you. I'd rather have Aaron Judges money than
his autogram. You gotta done.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
That's pretty cool though, that is Yeah, that's a nice
that's a nice thing.
Speaker 6 (38:51):

Speaker 3 (38:54):
The no, they don't.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
They just they don't want you re exactly. They know
you're gonna say what you should have done. My move
would have been, well, I have kids and they really
love you and you're breaking their heart.

been a got.
Speaker 6 (39:12):

fact that you ran into Aaron Judge at a restaurant
in West Hollywood go. Let's play round robin. How much

just took away some of his money. How much how
much money has he got on him at any given time?
Speaker 7 (40:51):

Speaker 6 (40:53):
Little bit of money for them because they kicked the
people in the restaur run.
Speaker 1 (40:58):

sure it's a lot more than when I was around
the guys and the Dodgers years ago.

When they go on the road, though, they're given like
tip money to pay for yeah, to tip the people.
And that's not that's not like part concluded in their
their contract. That's it's bonus.
