Aaron Rodgers comments on his future. Sound to you as
Rogers stuck in the twilight zone. What's the word for
Aaron Rodgers being perplexed by accusations that he is desperate
for attention? And does Aaron Rodgers have a legitimate gripe

(02:48):
be here till the wee hours of the morning. And
I'm not sure exactly when the wee hours of the
morning on, but we'll be here till the Maybe it
is the wee hours of the morning.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Right now, but we'll be here throughout the overnight.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
In the comedy club will open up an hour number three,
we'll have lame jokes of the week. We got Sports
Jeopardy on the docket for later on, so if you're
with us for the full red Eye flight. But our
lead this hour is from an ongoing saga the year
twenty twenty five. We have spent more time talking about
this particular washed up player than anyone else in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
I think you know where we're going with this.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
That would be the mouth of Everarin Rogers. Now he
has spoken, he has blessed us with a paid appearance.
Rogers getting paid a lot of money to play grab
ass with his buddies, and good for him. He spoke
for the first time since being fired by the Jets

(03:45):
last month, and he was on for about forty five minutes.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
He must have gotten paid a lot for that right,
it was a million.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Dollars plus you get extra if you go forty five
minutes or more. Anyway, he was on with that YouTuber
Pat McAfee. I don't know if you hurt any of
this or not. Perhaps not. But Aaron Rodgers let me
give you the highlights here he has announced.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Have you heard the news? No, Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Announced that he is taking his talents to the land
of the undecided.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Aaron Rodgers decided he doesn't have a decision. He is
an undecided voter at this point. He can't make his
mind up.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh so sad.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
He doesn't know what will he do. He didn't rule
out the possibility of retiring. Now a lot to unpack
the money quote. The money quote from Aaron Rodgers was,
I'll set it all straight from the jump. He said,
I'm in a different phase in my life. I'm forty
one years old. I'm in a serious relationship. I have
personal commitments that I've made, and people in my inner

(04:50):
circle are battling difficult stuff to make.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
A commitment to a team is a big thing. Close quote.
All right, So let us discuss the question.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
How did Aaron comments on the NFL and his future
sound to you. So I've got lou Holtz, Batman and
care Bear, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we are gonna throw some.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Fries on top of your sandwich. And that's a Pittsburgh sandwich.
They just put the fries on top, and it's a
Pittsburgh samwich.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
So a Aaron Rodgers clearly suffering from brain fog, all right,
brain fog. Like I know, in the history of the NFL,
there's never been a quarterback who's been forty one who's played.
And there's a rule, actually, if you're in a serious
relationship in the NFL, you cannot play.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
You have to retire.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Because God forbid you multitask. You can't be in a relationship.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
And play in the end. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Playing the NFL and be in a relationship, Have you
lost your bloody mind?

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Oh my god?

Speaker 2 (05:55):
And personal commitments, come on now, what are you talking about.
You can't have many other personal commitments. You're playing in
the NFL and people battling difficult stuff. Well, that's a
that's over. It's all over at that particular point. Why
is this always a Shakespearean drama? Well, somebody else can
answer that. But the vibe by God from Aaron Rodgers

(06:17):
was the the classic. When when I was watching some
of the clips that were going by of Rogers, I
got the vibe. I thought I was watching a concert
from It'sack Pearlman and he was playing the world's smallest violin.
Here it's it's it's hard to really wrap your hands
around the nonsense here, like it's either.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
You want to play, or you don't want to play,
or you're waiting for some kind of cosmic event.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
So you're old, okay, congratulations, Yeah, you're in a relationship. Whoopee,
damn new somebody in your circles battling stuff. You have
personal commitments. Okay, that's life. That's what life is. That's
what happens. You get older, people get sick, you get older,
you getting relationships.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's the circle of life.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
And as the great Lou Holtz famously said, he said,
remember if you have problems, if you have paraphrasms, but
you have problems in your life. Okay, Now, the old
Notre Dame coach said, it's your problem, all right, It's
not anyone else's problem.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Is your problem. You solve your problem. You don't blame
other people.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
You don't burden people with your complaints, because ninety percent
of people you come across don't care about your issues
your problems, and the other ten percent are glad that
you have. And I would argue that the percentages are
more than that now that it's more like I would
say maybe forty percent of people they don't care about

(07:45):
your troubles, but I would say about sixty percent are
glad that Aaron Rodgers has problems. Now, if you're thinking
about retirement, it has long been the belief that you're
already retired. If you're thinking, boy, how great would it
be just to lay in a hammock and drink ayahuasca
and smoke cigars and just have a good time, Then
there you go, all right now, flipping on the page,
but not too far away. So Aaron Rodgers addressed the

(08:09):
popular opinion of many that he craves, he has an
addiction to the spotlight, that he is your classic attention.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Whore, that he needs the spotlight on him.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Now, Rogers says that he went to Pittsburgh and tried
to do that as quietly as possible.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
He said, very quiet, like a cloak.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
And dagger mission to Pittsburgh, and Rogers said, you know
a lot of people think I'm desperate for attention, even
though I haven't talked to you or anybody else in three.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Months, Rogers claim.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
So Aaron says he attempted to hornswaggle the media. That's
my word, hornswaggle, not his. But he attempted to fool
the media by flying into a different airport and driving
a Chevy Malibu.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
To these Steelers for silly.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Well, I can you can only imagine the hardship of
having to drive a Chevy Malibu.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Well, let's get that guy a purple heart.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
He hated to drive a Chevy Malibu rental car, Oh
my god, just to.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Avoid being photographed.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
We always know the paparazzo is very big in Pittsburgh.
The Yinzer paparazzi is tremendous. So what is the word?
What is the word for Aaron Rodgers being perplexed by
the many accusations out there that he is desperate for attention?

Speaker 1 (09:34):
So my word is pushcart.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
That is my word, as in a pushcart of passive
aggressive goodies. It is on brand Aaron Rodgers. He is
the maestro when it comes to this kind of activity.
Rodgers is like a Batman super villain, the Riddler.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
That is his essence. He is the Riddler.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
He likes to drop vague, cryptic remarks, give backhanded jabs
during his media availability, knowing that it is going to
stir the pot. And I am convinced that Rogers loves
to watch the reaction. He loves to watch the cockroaches
run across the floor. Can't get enough of it. Aaron
really is the Riddler. He is the mastermind. He incorporates

(10:22):
the many puzzles and riddles and throws.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Them out there into his schemes and leaving them.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
As clues to the football media and the fans to solve,
saying calculate, but still poking the bear poke poke poke poke.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Just like that.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Now, Aaron Rodgers, tell him if I'm wrong on this?
Does he not relish? Does he not relish? Keeping everyone guessing?
And then of course when you call him on it,
he gets very prickly when you dare push back?

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Who are you to push back? Boo hoo hoo.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
You see it when he's playing grab ass, you know,
and they're just you know, smooching each other on the
McAfee show and how he handles pretty much everything. It's
the same playbook, day after day after day. All right,
now the last word here. So Aaron Rodgers was upset
with how his time ended with the Jets. This was

(11:21):
also part of this long manifesto rant, this paid appearance
pay to play Rogers on the YouTuber show. So Rogers
said he didn't feel respected enough when meeting with Aaron Glenn.
Aaron Glenn is the coach of the Jets. You don't
need to know his name because that's a temporary job.

(11:42):
And when you're coaching the Jets, you're not there more
than just a.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Blink in the eye, just to blink in the eye.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
But Aaron Glenn's there, and Rogers was not pleased. He said, quote,
I felt there wasn't an ample amount of respect in
the in that meeting. Rogers said, rispect. Okay, so he's
upset by the lack of respect. Rogers went, honestly, I
guess I shouldn't have been surprised based on some things

(12:10):
I saw over two years. So that's that is a
full body blow on the Jets franchise.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Body blow, body blow, body blow.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
All right, So let's get down to the meat and potatoes. Here,
does Aaron Rodgers have a legitimate grip with the Jets?
Cross country pink slip? That he flew to meet with
the Jets, and he made sure to point out he
paid his own ticket and he went to meet with
the Jets. So does Rogers have a legitimate grip with

(12:38):
the Jets? Cross country pink slip? So I say this
is actually warranted, like this part of it.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
I'll be fair here.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
I'm on the side of Rogers on that as someone
that has lost you for the show. I've lost my
share of radio jobs over my career. And from the
way Rogers is positioning this, he's He's like, well, listen,
he thought that he could work something out with the Jets.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
The jets new regime, led by the new coach.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Aaron Glenn there had publicly stated the public opinion they
had given the impression that they were open to keeping
Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
They had tossed that possibility out.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
So if you were done with him, if you didn't
want Rogers, then why would you allow him to fly
there and meet with you If you had no intention
of allowing him the opportunity to sway you and continue
on with the Jets.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Now, why Rogers would want to play for the Jets anymore,
it's beyond me. But clearly he had some intention, some intention.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
And the other part of this is when you think
about Rogers and going to meet with the Jets and
what that must have been like, and as far as
the like. The argument for the Jets is, well, they're
doing the right thing.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
They told him to his face. I say, I say
foe to that.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
As someone again in the radio business that has been
whacked from many a job, many different ways, I think
that's just nonsense. Rogers claimed that he had roughly a
twenty second meeting before Aaron Glenn said, we're going a
different direction. But this is really a teachable moment. It's

(14:24):
a teachable moment, and in the future, my advice is
to follow the wisdom of the care bear. My former
colleague here at Fox Sports Radio, the great Karen k
KK who's now not in the business anymore, but KK
Karen k Back in the day when we were doing

(14:45):
a show together and we knew because of a story
in the New York Post that we were getting whacked
the next day, like we knew we were on the air,
and we knew we're getting whacked.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
I mean, we're done. That's it. Guillotine time. We're cooked,
we're out, We're done.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
And we got a memo that we had a mandatory
meeting the following day in the afternoon, which meant driving
in rush hour Los Angeles traffic. And I'll never forget
talking to KK the last night that I think that
might be the last night I saw her and.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
She she's she said, I'm not going in. I said,
well you can't. You got to a meeting. You got
to show up.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
And she said, well, they're going to fire us. Why
would I Why would I show up to the meeting.
She had a great point. I showed up like an idiot,
you know. I walked right in there, and man, they
gassed me. But I walked right in and she didn't.
She's like, hey, listen, I'm not wasting the gas over
my time.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
And that's it.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
She refused to drive in for the slaughter. So Aaron Rodgers,
you know, he should have been smart enough to understand
the Jets didn't want him back. That's number one. Number two,
the Jets should have if they didn't let him know,
they should have advised him.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
And that meeting should never have happened. Just do it
on the phone or now you got to zoom, you
can do it on the zoom. So way to go?
All right? Is the Ben Malor Show.

Speaker 2 (16:04):

I'm a frazzle. I'm bedazzled, is what I am?

Speaker 1 (19:02):
What does that mean? Bedazzled? Do we know what that means?
That's good?

Speaker 5 (19:04):
Right? Can you put like jewelry and gems on your
pants or your hat? You ever bedazzle one of your
wonderful hats?

Speaker 4 (19:10):
Ben? Uh?

Speaker 6 (19:13):
Is that what it means? Really?

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Bedazzle?

Speaker 2 (19:15):
That's what like people have hijacked it. Does the word
bedazzled mean putting crap on your clothes?

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Is that what that means? That's to you, that's what
that means. But I don't think that's what it actually means. Right,
What do you think?

Speaker 6 (19:27):
What do you think it means?

Speaker 4 (19:29):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (19:30):
I think sparkling things up, making things look better? Uh A, Right,
here's the definition of the word bedazzled. We're gonna go
to Merrion Webster. I've never met Merriam Webster, but here
we go.

Speaker 7 (19:43):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
It says the word bedazzled, bedazzling, bedazzles, and the definition
of that is to impress forcefully.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, impress forcefully, to.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Embellish by or as if by the use of rhinestones setting.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:06):
See.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
No, that's the second definition. The first one is just
to impress forcefully. And we are here to impress forcefully.

Speaker 6 (20:12):
We're here to bedazzle.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah. Well, I'm not frazzled. I know that there's no frat.
I mean, check back later.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
We might be frazzled, but not now. Jason, the diamond
Man is up with us all night, he says. And
the man Ben Mallor is on the next four us.
I give him a on a scale of one to ten,
ten thousand. All right, look at that, Jason, ten thousand
air high five. Shane in des Moin writes, In said
solid Newby Knight C plus plus.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
I got better, Shane, Really, that was better than a
C plus. That was like an A minus Neubie Knight.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
He says, C plus plus to everyone they called except
border guy. He gets a B plus.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Okay, he gets to be I'm sure he's concerned about that.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
G Manage in Chicago rights In says a plus on
the Mallar monologue, the only commitments and relationships Rogers has
is with himself. The fact that he's bringing up this
he has not yapped in three months. That fact shows
that he has psychological social trait issues, including having been

(21:15):
or having need rather having need for control, just like
serial killers like Ted Bundy.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Okay, so g Man's comparing Aaron Rodgers to Ted Bundy.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
That seems reasonable. Ferg Doog writes in, says, this is
the zero hour bend. You said you didn't care about
what hour it is, but I thought i'd still tell
you anyway.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Okay, So Ferg.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Doog has informed me, and he's our checks and balances.
Ferg Dog, he's just got a just a great heart,
and he lives his mom's basement. But he says zero hour,
so he says it's the zero hour.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
It's the zero hour. Late night drug tester writes.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
In from Parts Unknown, says Aaron Rodgers is in a
serious relationship. His true love was there the whole time himself.
There you go, Yeah, all right, James says, why doesn't
Bill Miller get to introduce the beginning of the show. Well,
we want to limit how much he's a raging alcoholic

(22:13):
Bill Miller, and we want to limit how much airtime
he gets. He's actually in the back drinking whiskey right now.
And yeah, we thought he could come out here and
stumble over his words a few times an hour.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Bill Miller. And that's that's how we do it. So
that's that's your answer, James.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
You can hit us up though again on ex at
Ben Maller if you'd like to be part.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
That's at Ben Maller, and you can say say hello,
say hello, let's go to the first to my little friend. Yes,
and we'll say eeny meenie, miney moe. Let's go to
chalk in Arizona. What's going on Chalk? Welcome?

Speaker 7 (22:52):
What's up man? Long time first time?

Speaker 1 (22:55):
I love it, long time, first time, and here we are.

Speaker 7 (23:00):
I think it's funny somebody who makes so much money
is complaining about flying a private jet to a meeting
that he knew was going to dismiss him, when just
last month I got laid off. They let me work
all day, lie to us for six months, no layoffs yeah,

(23:23):
and they fired ten of us, Yes, after we worked
all day.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well I can now, Chuck, not that I want to
one up you, Chuck, and it's I listen, it sucks
getting I've been let go many times. I lost a
radio job.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
On a Friday.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
I was doing a morning shift years ago, and I
got called into the program director's office.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
David G. Hall, the guy that whacked me.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
I got called into his office over on Ard Moore
in La Here, got called in his office after my shift, right,
and he gave me the like the severns and so
it's not you, it's us.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
But I had actually the.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Check was cut on a Tuesday morning, Chuck. They had
decided that they had already cut the check on Tuesday.
It's like, why did I have to get up? Why
did I have to get up on Wednesday and Thursday
and Friday? If you already decided on Tuesday let me go?

Speaker 1 (24:16):
What's up with that?

Speaker 7 (24:18):
Let me work on Monday.
