Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our dub three hour three of
the radio show Talking Football this hour, and how do
you appraise Aaron Rogers as he airs out his anger
with NFL officials over hard knocks as the Jets were selected.
(00:21):
Also Josh Jacobs skipping training camp for the Raiders. Believe
it or don't believe it? And what's your takeaway from
Roger Goodell certainly sounding like he's open to the NFL
taking some of that Saudi Wealth Fund money, the oil
money from Saudi Arabia. We'll discuss that. We've got the
Mallard Riddle of the Day this hour, Big Ben's Lame
Jokes of the week, and a whole lot more. It's

Speaker 1 (01:45):
And later this hour we'll have Big Hour, a lot
of bits. We've got the Mallard Riddle of the Day,
Big Bend's Lame Jokes of the Week, and we will
reveal the winner of the Malorpalooza vote all of the people.
We will have that content for you, all of it
coming your way later in the hour. But our lead
(02:07):
coming from the NFL. We are in the final days
before the curtain goes up in pro football training camps
will open up next week, Yeah, next week, And an
old reliable has dropped by to fill up the content.
Baggie Ain Rodgers ein Rogers. Have you heard maybe not?
(02:33):
We learned. We learned that mister Rogers neighborhood is in
a tizzy. Why is he in a tizzy? Because the
NFL selected the Jets sucks Sucks, Suck the Jets to
be the main attraction and the only attraction on the
twenty twenty three season of Hard Knocks, which begins next week.
(02:55):
They begin filming next week now. During a recent interview
in Lake, yo where Rogers is hanging on with a
bunch of athletes and mingling and having a grand old
time rubbing elbows with random celebrities at this golf tournament
Lake Tahoe, which is an autograph collector's dream come true. Yes, anyway,
(03:16):
the Jets new quarterback, mister Rogers fit to be tied
over being on the show. Quote. They forced it down
our throats and we have to deal with it. Boy,
that sounds like you might want to contact HR. But
Rogers was clearly badgered by what had happened. He said,
(03:37):
I understand the appeal with us. Obviously there are a
lot of eyes on me. Rogers said, a lot of
eyes on our team, a lot of expectations for our squad.
Close quote. All right, so let's discuss the question, how
do you appraise Aaron Rodgers? How do you appraise Aaron Rodgers'
anger with Hard Knocks. I've got Warner Brothers in my thoughts.
(04:01):
Warner Brothers, Martyr and Nudge, Nudge and will tie all
of these things together, and we are going to make
a busy runway a busy runway, and good luck getting
off the ground. So ay, My first thought on the
appraisal of Aaron Rodgers and his anger as the he
(04:24):
says in the NFL forced this down the throat of
the Jets. That is a predictable response. The NFL really
had no choice. Here's why they have a deal with
HBO to produce Hard Knocks. Please not HBO still, if
I'm not mistaken. So they have this deal, it's through
NFL Films. There were four teams that were eligible to
(04:45):
be on the show. The teams were the Jets, the Bears,
the Saints and the Commanders. Now, there are no no
redeeming qualities from the Saints and the Commanders, none, zero,
no redeeming qualities for the Saints and the Commanders. And
(05:06):
I know we have friends of the show that like
the Saints, but that's a fact. And the Commanders for
that matter. The Bears also blow sorry to Eugene and Chicago.
Until Justin Fields goes from a caterpillar to a butterfly,
and the way the Bears do business will go from
a caterpillar to a moth. That's how that's gonna go.
But the Jets brass have been very clear here they
(05:29):
would rather have a case of the Spanish flu than
be on Hard Knocks. Robert Sala was all hot under
the collar recently when he talked about this, and Rodgers
is mad enough now to chew on nails. I say this,
it is misplaced anger by the big shots for the Jets.
It's misplaced anger. And here's why Hard Knocks gives you
(05:54):
all of the fringe, benefits all of them. The Jets
are making it seem like they're going to be testifying
under oath over a mafia murder and they're the only
eyewitness to the murder. It's bullpucky. NFL Films has the
final edit. They practice Warner Brothers level special effects. It's
(06:16):
watered down. The show is filtered. It's we say it
every year. It's like love It or listed. It's all
scripted reality. It's all planned out, there's framework and all that.
There's a blueprint for it, and that's how it goes.
It's mindless television. It's propaganda. They use cosmetics that it's
putting lipstick on a pig, little mascare over here, a
(06:36):
little powder on the nose little foundation, you're polishing turns,
and by the time they get done in the editing bay,
you're gonna end up being hypnotized so much that you'll
be convinced the Jets are the Roman Dynasty, the new
Roman Dynasty of the NFL with Aaron Rodgers, and I
guarantee you they will be the most wagered team in
(06:59):
the NFL. After Hard Knocks, the story will pop up
that the Jets are getting tons of action and everyone's
all excited because of the video they saw from Hard Knocks.
All right, turning the page, so page two, we read
that Josh Jacobs he's a running back and he will
(07:19):
not attend Raider training camp unless he is given the
riches of Solomon by four pm Eastern Monday, one o'clock
Vegas time. Josh Jacobs is currently under a holding pattern
as a franchise player. Ten point one million dollars would
be the stavvage, So if the Raiders and Jacobs do
(07:41):
not smoke the peace pipe and agree to a contract
by the deadline, Jacobs will only be able to sign
I know this is gonna break your heart a one
year deal with Vegas and cannot be extended until the
end of the twenty twenty three season. So let's talk
about this, Josh Jacobs skipping camp for the Raiders. Believe
(08:04):
it or don't believe it. I am a believer on
this one. I'm a believer. Yeah, I'm part of the congregation.
And here's why. Josh Jacobs, via his public commentary, is
a man on a mission. The way his comments have
read over the last couple of months, he thinks of
(08:24):
himself as a pigskin martyr being tormented by the fugase
salary structure of the NFL, willing to sacrifice a game
check or two to make a stand. Now, the game
checks don't start until September, so all of this is
just background noise until September. And that's the way it's
(08:45):
setting up. Though, everyone though, has a plan to hold out.
Everyone wants to hold out until they start getting mollywopped financially,
and then they have a come to Jesus moment. That's
when the rubber meets the road, and we will see
how how bold, how bold is Josh Jacobs when the
money that he was going to get starts vanishing at
(09:08):
that point, and we say said this about Sequan in
New York, Barkley and New York there that he's he's
good Jacobs, but not irreplacementle Like the Raiders sucked with him,
they can certainly suck without him. Go down, find somebody,
go down the strip. I would go to Fremont Street.
I think running backs probably better on Fremont Street than
(09:30):
going to the strip. But do what you want, all right,
last word here, So would the NFL really take some
of that Saudi money? Because Roger Goodell did an interview
this week on CNBC. I always go to CNBC for
my football news. Goodell, I don't know that he was
actually in the CNBC building, although he does the show
(09:52):
from Fifth Avenue, so he could have like walked over
there and then walked back. But Goaddell said on the
Business Channel that the league would would contemplate the Saudi
Sovereign Fund for an NFL team ownership stake, but he's
also said they like the current model, is what he said.
(10:13):
So what is your takeaway from Rogergadell and that response
to the question about getting into bed with the Saudi
Sovereign Wealth Fund taking that money? So this is I
listened to it A couple of times, it's a non
answer answer. Now, what does that mean? Rodagadell gave the
old nudge nudge, wink wink. He knows that the world
(10:36):
is changing. He's aware of this, we're all aware of this.
He's also aware that the people that are managing the
Saudi oil money that we're all donating to buying gas,
that they're really invested in getting into American culture.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
They're already in a lot of businesses, they're already there
in many areas. And so the NFL is looking at
this and like, well, wait a minute, here, we're really big.
Roger Goodell's like, we're really big, and that's cool and all.
But if the Saudis wanted, they could spend a chunk
of that seven hundred billion dollars and buy every single
(11:13):
NFL team and they would still have what six hundred
billion dollars, and then it would get right back up
to seven hundred billion dollars. So the way it read
to me is Goodell is all ears. He's like Dumbo,
he's all ears, and he's like, right now, we really
like our current business model, but two years from now, yeah,
(11:38):
and the way that would work, it would be the
same way that the Saudis got into business with the PGA.
They started a renegade golf league and they threatened the
sovereignty of the PGA Tour. So the PGA Tour capitulated.
Can you see us in there now? Greg Norman was
(12:00):
the middleman for the Saudis. What if the NFL went
to some former quarterback, Which quarterback could they go to
and say, like Brett Farv? If they went to Brett
Farv and said, listen, b a right, we want you
to be the face of this, and we want you
to recruit Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen and all these
(12:21):
young stud quarterbacks, and we will pay them double what
they're making. They will only have to play ten games,
not seventeen. Ten games, will have multiple bye weeks. We'll
have four or five bye weeks. We'll pay for everything,
We'll take care of everything. How many of these NFL
players do you think would cross over? Because I think
(12:44):
the majority of them would, just like in golf, I
think they will see if that happens next five or
ten years. It is the ban At Malors Show. If

the Mallor riddle of the day. And here it is
former Fox Sports Radio Morning Horse host Steven Asmith. You
(13:50):
know he used to host our morning show. Yeah you
didn't know that because nobody listened to it. But Stephen A.
Smith once considered leaving sports media for a career in
blank again. Stephen A. Smith, it was recently revealed, once
considered leaving sports media altogether for a career in blank.
(14:11):
That is the Mallor riddle of the day. The answer,
We'll get to it, and we will do it next.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

on Twitter at Iowa Sam ninety nine, Oh Cobba hell
(14:51):
I Live from the tire rack dot Com, Fox Sports
Radio Studios, It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
You're gonna pay off the Malor riddle of the Day
in a moment. But first the big reveal. If you've
been listening all week, you know we had the Mallard Palooza,
the Great Talent Show, the Mallard Paloos. An amazing night,
one of the great nights in overnight sports radio. Not
the greatest night, that's the Benny's, but the Mallard Palooza
is right up there. So we all voted, We all
(15:18):
voted on the show, and the in studio vote. It
was neck and neck between Pam in Seattle and the
Boston Burper. Now the vote of those of us that
were judges, myself, Eddie, Chris was in here, Iowa, Sam
was not here, Chris was in here, Goober Loop and Jayscoop.
We voted the Boston Burper, who almost died on the
(15:40):
air trying to burp the oath amazing, and we voted
him as the winner. But now we can reveal the
pulse of the people, the hoy pouloi, the people that
vote that are regular people like you that just listen
to the show, and you're the consumer of the show.
The consumer is always right, and so we will now
(16:03):
reveal the winner of the Mallard Palooza based on hundreds
and hundreds of votes that we got over the last
couple of days. We thank you for voting and appreciate
that some of you voted multiple times because you have
multiple Twitter accounts. Bad job by you. But nonetheless, the
final review and we'll give you the final four here.
(16:25):
The final four we had madd in Nashville. He played
the nose trumpet. That was our opening act. Of course,
the Boston Burper, Pam and Seattle the Great Ohioal with
that Malard theme song, which I don't think Iowa Sam
has heard yet, but should play because it has his
name in it, and you should hear that. The final two,
(16:45):
this is unreal. There was one point two percent separating
number one and number two. The final two Ohiol and
Pam and Seattle literally just a few votes separated. And
the winner and the people's champion of the BTT of
Pelosi twenty twenty three is Pam in Seattle in the
(17:09):
viol Congratulations Pam, way to go defining the odds. You
think about the fact that we never heard from Pam,
she's never called the show before she called in, and
the fact that she's a woman, and most of the
dude it's pretty much all dudes here. It's a sausage
(17:31):
fest on this show. But she was able to do it.
Amazing accomplishment by Pam and Seattle, very talented musician. And
hopefully she'll call up and be able to accept her win.
The pulse of the people. Okay, we actually do have
someone accepting I'm a woman for Pam, and then we'll
(17:54):
get to the Mallord riddle of the day, accepting on
behalf of Pam and Seattle, we welcome in a legend
in his own writing, classically trained musician who's performed all
over the world. I'm not kidding, by the way, the
man known on our show as Inca Terror. Hello, Inka Terror.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Now Ben's job should should we award her the prize
of Roberto's air fryer as as you know, for winning.
It's still here, it's still sitting back here.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
So he talked to the fry daddy's David in Pennsylvania,
who was the benefactor of that, and Roberto is the
beneficiary of that. I think that's how that works. But
he he said that he is. We can give it
to whoever we want. So if we want to do
it now, should we check with Roberto to see if
he wants it still? Or how does that work? Yet?
(21:19):
Should we just he's not going to work here anymore.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
I mean, I guess you said you talked to him,
but he hasn't talked to me. He hasn't talked to Coop.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
So I talked to him all the time.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Oh all right. He doesn't like you, he.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Told me, he hates you.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
May I nominate myself to receive the air fryer. Why
can't I get the air fryer?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
What have you done to earn the air frighter?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Uh? Yeah, well, I mean you you know, but I'm
not going to who's pay Who's going to pay for
shipping on the air.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
The shipping will have to be paid by the recipient.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
You don't see.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
If you give it to me, you don't need to
pay shipping because I could just take it off your
hands right here.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
This company is not that cheap. They would pay for shipping, wouldn'
they are?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
I can't. I can't believe you actually said that.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
No, I think they If we I'll talk if if
they want If pay him wants it, I mean, we'll
give here. She doesn't want it, she might already have one.
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
Maybe if she has one, I'll take it and I
could just take it from here. Some is really going
hard for this air prayer and lobby.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I haven't gotten raised in ten years. I need, I
need and I need some kind of gift. I understand,
I understand. Okay, we'll talk to Eddie. Wants to give
that thing away? All right? Can I pay? I got
to pay off the riddle all right here? Let me
pay off the riddle right now. Then we'll get over
to Eddie and then we'll get right back and have
all the lame jokes. Sorry about that, but I had
to do the Mallord Palus. Update. Time now for the
(22:40):
Riddle of the day. The Malord Riddle of the Day
and here it is if you missed it. Stephen A. Smith,
our former morning guy here at Fox Sports Radio, once
considered leaving sports media for a career in blank. Career
in blank, what is the answer? Let's see here, let's
go page down here, page down, and I can't you
(23:04):
guys send stuff in. You know I cannot read. It's
a bad job by you. Let's do it now. I
know horse jockey guess by Jeremy Steve steven A. Smith
would have become a clown at kids parties, guest by Milkman,
Mike professional makeup artist from Ferg Dog, heating, ventilation and
air conditioning from Asher. That's the answer. Matt said that
(23:26):
Stephen A once considered leaving sports media for a career
as a car salesman. He says Mallard prop guy going
with treasurer of the Malors Mountain of Money. He says
steven A. Smith considered leaving sports media to be a
blackjack dealer at Circus Circus. Very specific on that, justin,
(23:47):
I will not read that one. On the ear ice
skating guests by the clam Callaghan, Tim and Michigan says
a career in professional slap fighting Fudgie in Boston, going
with the answer porn as the answer. Cowboy player says,
Steven A almost left sports media for a career, an
exciting career as an elementary school bus driver. Who else
(24:11):
do we have here? Page down to become manager of
the musical duo formed by the Nashville Nose Trumpeter and
the Boston burper K nine fashion design guests by Bubbsy
rodeo clown from Johnny ray Alf the Alien opiner says,
career as an all star ballot stuffer. WI used to
(24:33):
do that a lot man. We all did here around
this age. I'm at we all did that with those
paper ballots at baseball game. Eddie, do you have an answer?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Please you have an answer?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Oh yes, submarine commander.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Wow, too soon, Eddie, too soon the correct answer. Stephen A.
Smith once considered leaving sports media for a career in banking. Banking,
great store, So, Eddie, this is a story that involves
people we know, so it's a great story. So stephen
A was a young sports writer in North Carolina. It
(25:07):
wasn't going well. He wasn't making a lot of money.
He wasn't doing well, and he called up a guy
by the name of Rob Parker, Rob Parker who works
here at Fox Sports Radio, and Rob was a Parker
baseball scribe on the Cincinnati Reds beat. Parker and stephen
A said, listen, I'm quitting. I'm going to apply for
(25:30):
a job at a bank. And it was Rob Parker
that talked stephen A Smith out of a career in banking.
I'm a woman, So I got two takes on this.
Number One, I hope stephen A cuts a check every
year to Rob Parker to kind of say, hey, here
you go, we're good. Number two. Number two, I bet
(25:54):
you there's dudes all over the place working jobs at banks,
truck drivers that could have been in steven A Smith
or Skip Bayliss, but they got out of the business
because they got married or something happened and they needed
to change careers and make some real money. I bet
you it's a bunch of guys that are as talented
or more talented than guys like steven A and me.
But because life takes its course, you end up in
(26:17):
doing other stuff and all that. I totally buy that.
But just think, if it wasn't for Rob Parker, stephen
A right now would be giving you a change at
the bank and doing deposits. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
Now been in golf, I'm sure you know. Rory McElroy
does not like to live golf tour. He's been very
outspoken about how much he does not like to live
golf tour, how much does he hate to live golf tour. Well,
in an interview where he was playing at the Scottish Open,
he claims that if it was only a choice between
(27:24):
not playing golf or playing live golf, he would retire
from golf.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I saw this. In fact, I'm gonna mention this as
a small part of my Malard monologue les than half
an hour, because how about that the take, That particular
take resonated with a lot of people. But there's something
else that he said that seemed a little odd to me.
All right, so we'll get into it by we'd like
to alert all the affiliates that he that that weed
(27:56):
man is calling in so oh thank god, Yeah, he's
I had to call him three times. He would not
answer his phone.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
It's wild.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Is there any does Towered call people up to make
sure they're on the show?
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Oh yeah, all the time. Sure, Yeah, that's what all
the great hosts do.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Exactly. Yeah, wonderful, Absolutely wonderful. Justin apparently does not like
steven A, so he's upset with Rob Parker for making
sure that steven A continues to have a career in
sports media. Did I do that? David the Fry Daddy
(28:34):
writes in He's Got a hot take on the air Friar.
He says that Iowa Sam is begging too much for
the air Friar.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
I kind of agree with him.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
I listen I'll just say this. You guys might hear
from me a lot more on the show. And Oh,
I think that maybe I should get that air frar
Is he giving.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Us an ultimatum? Is that what Iowa Sam is giving
us right now? That sounds like an ultimate?
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Is he threatening us?
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Is not a threat or an ultimatum. It's a It's
called an illusion, a l l U s I O
in alluding to something.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I'm uncomfortable. You've triggered me. I might have to go
to HR. I need my safe space.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Well, I need my air fryer.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
What would you what would you make with the air fryer?
What is your don't know?
Speaker 6 (29:19):
The sky's the limit?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
You've never bacon?
Speaker 6 (29:23):
No, I use a toaster of and it's greasy and old.
I want to get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
You think we put a poll up on Twitter people
would want you to get the air fryer, and we
did not want you.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
You want the people to decide and weigh in on it,
then so be it? Okay? What if we require him
to bring in items like one item in the air fire.
I like the way you think I could do that occasionally.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Apparently he doesn't want it that badly. He doesn't want
to air fright snacks.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
I want him.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
But I mean, well, now I have an air fer No,
it's not a.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Lot lot of work. It's an air frier. It's easy.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
You guys are cutting into my grocery building.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
No, no, but you buy what you buy the frozen foods.
You can buy those. The fries come out really good,
the frozen fries. Put those in the air fry a
little oil on top of there.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
It's not healthier for you, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Who cares about die anyway? They said, But taste, they
taste good. Yeah, they taste all right. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
Yeah, I've heard great things and I've never I've never
gotten a chance to have my own air fryer. It's
kind of a new phenomenon recently, these air friers.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
You're upsetting David the fried Daddy.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
M sorry, David f You know my middle name is Fry.
By the way, fro y e. I think I should
be getting the air fryer. I mean it's in my name.
Unbecoming you named after Hayden Fry. No, he was, he
was Fry. I'm named after my mom. Her last name
is Fry, so froy e, and if you had an
art to that, it becomes friar, and therefore I should
(30:52):
get the air fryer. So how's that for logic.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
It's a hard argument to beat.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
This is a really tough segment. You're providing here, a
very tough segment.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
I'm just stating the facts here. And the middle name
is fry. Yeah, that's the truth.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
If only was air fry.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Why don't we take a deep breath, turn out to hyperventilate,
and we'll have for the rest of the hour, big bends,
lame jokes of the week, Big bends, lame jokes of
the week for the rest of the hour. These are
going to be actual jokes sending by actual listeners. I
assume weed Man's there, so we'll have him doing the

it next. Yeah. Wait.

show to plug something?
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Eddie no, I don't remember that.

Actually, yeah, unfortunately it was the toilet. Do you hear
Lizzo launched a store selling her own line of bras
for large women there middle aged women. Now, yeah, you
can shop online at tired rack dot com. So there
you go. It's an average show. Uh. Did hear Lizzo
(34:48):
spontaneously combusted sad news to report here?
Speaker 5 (34:51):
No?
Speaker 4 (34:52):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Well that's not all bad news. At least she was
able finally to burn the fat, so that's good. Finally,

Did you hear NASA thought they had discovered a huge
canyon on the moon?
Speaker 4 (35:41):
I didn't hear that.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Yeah, it was unfortunately, actually it was an accident. They
actually landed on Lizzo's ass. So that's the problem, Tush,
that was the problem. Did you hear that Lizzo had

day that Lizzo goes to the gym, that's when he
will find his teeth? Edy right, No, from Austin again? Uh, Coop,

Speaker 2 (36:25):

Why did uh?
Speaker 7 (36:29):

Speaker 5 (36:42):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (36:43):
That was a somebody called and told me that over

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Okay, I know average Joe. Sure that's a good that's
a good dad joke? Why not? Yeah? All right? Well,
Coop and weed Man is a long one. We don't
know many do long jokes, but why not a Coop
and weed Man. We're on the roof smoking weed. Coop
turned on his flashlight and pointed it at the building
next door, and Coop said, weed Man, I bet you
can walk across this beam of light to the next building. Right.
(37:11):
So what did weed Man do? What do you think
he did?
Speaker 4 (37:14):
He tried to walk across it.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
No, no, no, weed Man replied, I'm not falling for that.
I'll get halfway and you'll turn out the light, is
what he said. That is from half Blind. Thomas in
Kentucky sent that one in weed Man is so desperate
to have teeth, Eddie, How desperate is he? He's so
desperate to buy for someone to buy him teeth. Yeah,
(37:38):
he will get a tattoo like Cooper Loop was promoting
on the show. I can't say that. He wants me
to say Tony, No, that was that was Tony the bay.
You want to rip him? Go ahead, Coop, that was
Tony in the bay.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
It was your delivery.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Then he said, I can't say that because then I'll
be a drop and I don't want to be a drop.
Nor what is land problem? What is Lance Armstrong's favorite
candy jingle?

flute guy credit as his inspiration to start playing with
his nose.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
I don't know who.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Josh Hamilton, the former ranger right there, Josh Alex, Alex
is clinical. What takes longer? What takes longer than a
Branford Marsalis song.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
I don't know what takes longer?
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Blind Scott trying to find a white key on the piano.
That's what takes. That was from InKo Terror. That's blind
on blind crime is what that?
Speaker 5 (38:46):
That is?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
What is the quietest place on earth? I don't know.
The crowd at a comedy show starring Chris and Mitchell,
Chris and Tulsa and Mitchell in Ohio. Boy, that was
bad the other night, wasn't. That's Chris in the wood?
Who sent that that one?
Speaker 5 (39:00):
In? There?
Speaker 2 (39:02):
You go?
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Why does Doc Mike tell his friends not to eat asparagus?
Speaker 4 (39:06):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Oh, it makes his breath stink, it really does. That's
a hill billy, Mike Bank, you weed man, all right,
go away, there you go. Lame jokes of the Week
Hello and welcome. It's our dub three hour three of
the radio show Talking Football this hour, and how do
you appraise Aaron Rogers as he airs out his anger
with NFL officials over hard knocks as the Jets were selected.
(00:21):
Also Josh Jacobs skipping training camp for the Raiders. Believe
it or don't believe it? And what's your takeaway from
Roger Goodell certainly sounding like he's open to the NFL
taking some of that Saudi Wealth Fund money, the oil
money from Saudi Arabia. We'll discuss that. We've got the
Mallard Riddle of the Day this hour, Big Ben's Lame
Jokes of the week, and a whole lot more. It's
(00:43):
coming your way right now here. It is our number
three in Unhappy Pilot. Wel come, in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
We are in the air everywhere, one on one, as
we know that listening to this show each day keeps
the sadness away, unless that is not true.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
As we are hanging out coast to coast, port of

microphones of fs are emanating live from inside the theater,

Meet.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And later this hour we'll have Big Hour, a lot
of bits. We've got the Mallard Riddle of the Day,
Big Bend's Lame Jokes of the Week, and we will
reveal the winner of the Malorpalooza vote all of the people.
We will have that content for you, all of it
coming your way later in the hour. But our lead
(02:07):
coming from the NFL. We are in the final days
before the curtain goes up in pro football training camps
will open up next week, Yeah, next week, And an
old reliable has dropped by to fill up the content.
Baggie Ain Rodgers ein Rogers. Have you heard maybe not?
(02:33):
We learned. We learned that mister Rogers neighborhood is in
a tizzy. Why is he in a tizzy? Because the
NFL selected the Jets sucks Sucks, Suck the Jets to
be the main attraction and the only attraction on the
twenty twenty three season of Hard Knocks, which begins next week.
(02:55):
They begin filming next week now. During a recent interview
in Lake, yo where Rogers is hanging on with a
bunch of athletes and mingling and having a grand old
time rubbing elbows with random celebrities at this golf tournament
Lake Tahoe, which is an autograph collector's dream come true. Yes, anyway,
(03:16):
the Jets new quarterback, mister Rogers fit to be tied
over being on the show. Quote. They forced it down
our throats and we have to deal with it. Boy,
that sounds like you might want to contact HR. But
Rogers was clearly badgered by what had happened. He said,
(03:37):
I understand the appeal with us. Obviously there are a
lot of eyes on me. Rogers said, a lot of
eyes on our team, a lot of expectations for our squad.
Close quote. All right, so let's discuss the question, how
do you appraise Aaron Rodgers? How do you appraise Aaron Rodgers'
anger with Hard Knocks. I've got Warner Brothers in my thoughts.
(04:01):
Warner Brothers, Martyr and Nudge, Nudge and will tie all
of these things together, and we are going to make
a busy runway a busy runway, and good luck getting
off the ground. So ay, My first thought on the
appraisal of Aaron Rodgers and his anger as the he
(04:24):
says in the NFL forced this down the throat of
the Jets. That is a predictable response. The NFL really
had no choice. Here's why they have a deal with
HBO to produce Hard Knocks. Please not HBO still, if
I'm not mistaken. So they have this deal, it's through
NFL Films. There were four teams that were eligible to
(04:45):
be on the show. The teams were the Jets, the Bears,
the Saints and the Commanders. Now, there are no no
redeeming qualities from the Saints and the Commanders, none, zero,
no redeeming qualities for the Saints and the Commanders. And
(05:06):
I know we have friends of the show that like
the Saints, but that's a fact. And the Commanders for
that matter. The Bears also blow sorry to Eugene and Chicago.
Until Justin Fields goes from a caterpillar to a butterfly,
and the way the Bears do business will go from
a caterpillar to a moth. That's how that's gonna go.
But the Jets brass have been very clear here they
(05:29):
would rather have a case of the Spanish flu than
be on Hard Knocks. Robert Sala was all hot under
the collar recently when he talked about this, and Rodgers
is mad enough now to chew on nails. I say this,
it is misplaced anger by the big shots for the Jets.
It's misplaced anger. And here's why Hard Knocks gives you
(05:54):
all of the fringe, benefits all of them. The Jets
are making it seem like they're going to be testifying
under oath over a mafia murder and they're the only
eyewitness to the murder. It's bullpucky. NFL Films has the
final edit. They practice Warner Brothers level special effects. It's
(06:16):
watered down. The show is filtered. It's we say it
every year. It's like love It or listed. It's all
scripted reality. It's all planned out, there's framework and all that.
There's a blueprint for it, and that's how it goes.
It's mindless television. It's propaganda. They use cosmetics that it's
putting lipstick on a pig, little mascare over here, a
(06:36):
little powder on the nose little foundation, you're polishing turns,
and by the time they get done in the editing bay,
you're gonna end up being hypnotized so much that you'll
be convinced the Jets are the Roman Dynasty, the new
Roman Dynasty of the NFL with Aaron Rodgers, and I
guarantee you they will be the most wagered team in
(06:59):
the NFL. After Hard Knocks, the story will pop up
that the Jets are getting tons of action and everyone's
all excited because of the video they saw from Hard Knocks.
All right, turning the page, so page two, we read
that Josh Jacobs he's a running back and he will
(07:19):
not attend Raider training camp unless he is given the
riches of Solomon by four pm Eastern Monday, one o'clock
Vegas time. Josh Jacobs is currently under a holding pattern
as a franchise player. Ten point one million dollars would
be the stavvage, So if the Raiders and Jacobs do
(07:41):
not smoke the peace pipe and agree to a contract
by the deadline, Jacobs will only be able to sign
I know this is gonna break your heart a one
year deal with Vegas and cannot be extended until the
end of the twenty twenty three season. So let's talk
about this, Josh Jacobs skipping camp for the Raiders. Believe
(08:04):
it or don't believe it. I am a believer on
this one. I'm a believer. Yeah, I'm part of the congregation.
And here's why. Josh Jacobs, via his public commentary, is
a man on a mission. The way his comments have
read over the last couple of months, he thinks of
(08:24):
himself as a pigskin martyr being tormented by the fugase
salary structure of the NFL, willing to sacrifice a game
check or two to make a stand. Now, the game
checks don't start until September, so all of this is
just background noise until September. And that's the way it's
(08:45):
setting up. Though, everyone though, has a plan to hold out.
Everyone wants to hold out until they start getting mollywopped financially,
and then they have a come to Jesus moment. That's
when the rubber meets the road, and we will see
how how bold, how bold is Josh Jacobs when the
money that he was going to get starts vanishing at
(09:08):
that point, and we say said this about Sequan in
New York, Barkley and New York there that he's he's
good Jacobs, but not irreplacementle Like the Raiders sucked with him,
they can certainly suck without him. Go down, find somebody,
go down the strip. I would go to Fremont Street.
I think running backs probably better on Fremont Street than
(09:30):
going to the strip. But do what you want, all right,
last word here, So would the NFL really take some
of that Saudi money? Because Roger Goodell did an interview
this week on CNBC. I always go to CNBC for
my football news. Goodell, I don't know that he was
actually in the CNBC building, although he does the show
(09:52):
from Fifth Avenue, so he could have like walked over
there and then walked back. But Goaddell said on the
Business Channel that the league would would contemplate the Saudi
Sovereign Fund for an NFL team ownership stake, but he's
also said they like the current model, is what he said.
(10:13):
So what is your takeaway from Rogergadell and that response
to the question about getting into bed with the Saudi
Sovereign Wealth Fund taking that money? So this is I
listened to it A couple of times, it's a non
answer answer. Now, what does that mean? Rodagadell gave the
old nudge nudge, wink wink. He knows that the world
(10:36):
is changing. He's aware of this, we're all aware of this.
He's also aware that the people that are managing the
Saudi oil money that we're all donating to buying gas,
that they're really invested in getting into American culture.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
They're already in a lot of businesses, they're already there
in many areas. And so the NFL is looking at
this and like, well, wait a minute, here, we're really big.
Roger Goodell's like, we're really big, and that's cool and all.
But if the Saudis wanted, they could spend a chunk
of that seven hundred billion dollars and buy every single
(11:13):
NFL team and they would still have what six hundred
billion dollars, and then it would get right back up
to seven hundred billion dollars. So the way it read
to me is Goodell is all ears. He's like Dumbo,
he's all ears, and he's like, right now, we really
like our current business model, but two years from now, yeah,
(11:38):
and the way that would work, it would be the
same way that the Saudis got into business with the PGA.
They started a renegade golf league and they threatened the
sovereignty of the PGA Tour. So the PGA Tour capitulated.
Can you see us in there now? Greg Norman was
(12:00):
the middleman for the Saudis. What if the NFL went
to some former quarterback, Which quarterback could they go to
and say, like Brett Farv? If they went to Brett
Farv and said, listen, b a right, we want you
to be the face of this, and we want you
to recruit Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen and all these
(12:21):
young stud quarterbacks, and we will pay them double what
they're making. They will only have to play ten games,
not seventeen. Ten games, will have multiple bye weeks. We'll
have four or five bye weeks. We'll pay for everything,
We'll take care of everything. How many of these NFL
players do you think would cross over? Because I think
(12:44):
the majority of them would, just like in golf, I
think they will see if that happens next five or
ten years. It is the ban At Malors Show. If

the Mallor riddle of the day. And here it is
former Fox Sports Radio Morning Horse host Steven Asmith. You
(13:50):
know he used to host our morning show. Yeah you
didn't know that because nobody listened to it. But Stephen A.
Smith once considered leaving sports media for a career in
blank again. Stephen A. Smith, it was recently revealed, once
considered leaving sports media altogether for a career in blank.
(14:11):
That is the Mallor riddle of the day. The answer,
We'll get to it, and we will do it next.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
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.

Join the curious world of the Ben Malor Show online.
It is pain free and easy to do. Just follow
your host on Twitter. He's at Ben Malor and you
can tweet at and follow tonight's technical producer. His name
is Sam. He's from Iowa and you can follow him
on Twitter at Iowa Sam ninety nine, Oh Cobba hell
(14:51):
I Live from the tire rack dot Com, Fox Sports
Radio Studios, It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
You're gonna pay off the Malor riddle of the Day
in a moment. But first the big reveal. If you've
been listening all week, you know we had the Mallard Palooza,
the Great Talent Show, the Mallard Paloos. An amazing night,
one of the great nights in overnight sports radio. Not
the greatest night, that's the Benny's, but the Mallard Palooza
is right up there. So we all voted, We all
(15:18):
voted on the show, and the in studio vote. It
was neck and neck between Pam in Seattle and the
Boston Burper. Now the vote of those of us that
were judges, myself, Eddie, Chris was in here, Iowa, Sam
was not here, Chris was in here, Goober Loop and Jayscoop.
We voted the Boston Burper, who almost died on the
(15:40):
air trying to burp the oath amazing, and we voted
him as the winner. But now we can reveal the
pulse of the people, the hoy pouloi, the people that
vote that are regular people like you that just listen
to the show, and you're the consumer of the show.
The consumer is always right, and so we will now
(16:03):
reveal the winner of the Mallard Palooza based on hundreds
and hundreds of votes that we got over the last
couple of days. We thank you for voting and appreciate
that some of you voted multiple times because you have
multiple Twitter accounts. Bad job by you. But nonetheless, the
final review and we'll give you the final four here.
(16:25):
The final four we had madd in Nashville. He played
the nose trumpet. That was our opening act. Of course,
the Boston Burper, Pam and Seattle the Great Ohioal with
that Malard theme song, which I don't think Iowa Sam
has heard yet, but should play because it has his
name in it, and you should hear that. The final two,
(16:45):
this is unreal. There was one point two percent separating
number one and number two. The final two Ohiol and
Pam and Seattle literally just a few votes separated. And
the winner and the people's champion of the BTT of
Pelosi twenty twenty three is Pam in Seattle in the
(17:09):
viol Congratulations Pam, way to go defining the odds. You
think about the fact that we never heard from Pam,
she's never called the show before she called in, and
the fact that she's a woman, and most of the
dude it's pretty much all dudes here. It's a sausage
(17:31):
fest on this show. But she was able to do it.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Now Ben's job should should we award her the prize
of Roberto's air fryer as as you know, for winning.
It's still here, it's still sitting back here.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
So he talked to the fry daddy's David in Pennsylvania,
who was the benefactor of that, and Roberto is the
beneficiary of that. I think that's how that works. But
he he said that he is. We can give it
to whoever we want. So if we want to do
it now, should we check with Roberto to see if
he wants it still? Or how does that work? Yet?
(21:19):
Should we just he's not going to work here anymore.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
I mean, I guess you said you talked to him,
but he hasn't talked to me. He hasn't talked to Coop.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
So I talked to him all the time.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Oh all right. He doesn't like you, he.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Told me, he hates you.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
May I nominate myself to receive the air fryer. Why
can't I get the air fryer?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
What have you done to earn the air frighter?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Uh? Yeah, well, I mean you you know, but I'm
not going to who's pay Who's going to pay for
shipping on the air.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
The shipping will have to be paid by the recipient.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
You don't see.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
If you give it to me, you don't need to
pay shipping because I could just take it off your
hands right here.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
This company is not that cheap. They would pay for shipping, wouldn'
they are?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
I can't. I can't believe you actually said that.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
No, I think they If we I'll talk if if
they want If pay him wants it, I mean, we'll
give here. She doesn't want it, she might already have one.
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
Maybe if she has one, I'll take it and I
could just take it from here. Some is really going
hard for this air prayer and lobby.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I haven't gotten raised in ten years. I need, I
need and I need some kind of gift. I understand,
I understand. Okay, we'll talk to Eddie. Wants to give
that thing away? All right? Can I pay? I got
to pay off the riddle all right here? Let me
pay off the riddle right now. Then we'll get over
to Eddie and then we'll get right back and have
all the lame jokes. Sorry about that, but I had
to do the Mallord Palus. Update. Time now for the
(22:40):
Riddle of the day. The Malord Riddle of the Day
and here it is if you missed it. Stephen A. Smith,
our former morning guy here at Fox Sports Radio, once
considered leaving sports media for a career in blank. Career
in blank, what is the answer? Let's see here, let's
go page down here, page down, and I can't you
(23:04):
guys send stuff in. You know I cannot read. It's
a bad job by you. Let's do it now. I
know horse jockey guess by Jeremy Steve steven A. Smith
would have become a clown at kids parties, guest by Milkman,
Mike professional makeup artist from Ferg Dog, heating, ventilation and
air conditioning from Asher. That's the answer. Matt said that
(23:26):
Stephen A once considered leaving sports media for a career
as a car salesman. He says Mallard prop guy going
with treasurer of the Malors Mountain of Money. He says
steven A. Smith considered leaving sports media to be a
blackjack dealer at Circus Circus. Very specific on that, justin,
(23:47):
I will not read that one. On the ear ice
skating guests by the clam Callaghan, Tim and Michigan says
a career in professional slap fighting Fudgie in Boston, going
with the answer porn as the answer. Cowboy player says,
Steven A almost left sports media for a career, an
exciting career as an elementary school bus driver. Who else
(24:11):
do we have here? Page down to become manager of
the musical duo formed by the Nashville Nose Trumpeter and
the Boston burper K nine fashion design guests by Bubbsy
rodeo clown from Johnny ray Alf the Alien opiner says,
career as an all star ballot stuffer. WI used to
(24:33):
do that a lot man. We all did here around
this age. I'm at we all did that with those
paper ballots at baseball game. Eddie, do you have an answer?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Please you have an answer?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Oh yes, submarine commander.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Wow, too soon, Eddie, too soon the correct answer. Stephen A.
Smith once considered leaving sports media for a career in banking. Banking,
great store, So, Eddie, this is a story that involves
people we know, so it's a great story. So stephen
A was a young sports writer in North Carolina. It
(25:07):
wasn't going well. He wasn't making a lot of money.
He wasn't doing well, and he called up a guy
by the name of Rob Parker, Rob Parker who works
here at Fox Sports Radio, and Rob was a Parker
baseball scribe on the Cincinnati Reds beat. Parker and stephen
A said, listen, I'm quitting. I'm going to apply for
(25:30):
a job at a bank. And it was Rob Parker
that talked stephen A Smith out of a career in banking.
I'm a woman, So I got two takes on this.
Number One, I hope stephen A cuts a check every
year to Rob Parker to kind of say, hey, here
you go, we're good. Number two. Number two, I bet
(25:54):
you there's dudes all over the place working jobs at banks,
truck drivers that could have been in steven A Smith
or Skip Bayliss, but they got out of the business
because they got married or something happened and they needed
to change careers and make some real money. I bet
you it's a bunch of guys that are as talented
or more talented than guys like steven A and me.
But because life takes its course, you end up in
(26:17):
doing other stuff and all that. I totally buy that.
But just think, if it wasn't for Rob Parker, stephen
A right now would be giving you a change at
the bank and doing deposits. Oh yeah.

does not like to live golf tour. He's been very
outspoken about how much he does not like to live
golf tour, how much does he hate to live golf tour. Well,
in an interview where he was playing at the Scottish Open,
he claims that if it was only a choice between
(27:24):
not playing golf or playing live golf, he would retire
from golf.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I saw this. In fact, I'm gonna mention this as
a small part of my Malard monologue les than half
an hour, because how about that the take, That particular
take resonated with a lot of people. But there's something
else that he said that seemed a little odd to me.
All right, so we'll get into it by we'd like
to alert all the affiliates that he that that weed
(27:56):
man is calling in so oh thank god, Yeah, he's
I had to call him three times. He would not
answer his phone.

sure that steven A continues to have a career in
sports media. Did I do that? David the Fry Daddy
(28:34):
writes in He's Got a hot take on the air Friar.
He says that Iowa Sam is begging too much for

I listen I'll just say this. You guys might hear
from me a lot more on the show. And Oh,
I think that maybe I should get that air frar
Is he giving.
Speaker 1 (28:55):

us right now? That sounds like an ultimate?
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Is he threatening us?
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Is not a threat or an ultimatum. It's a It's
called an illusion, a l l U s I O
in alluding to something.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I'm uncomfortable. You've triggered me. I might have to go
to HR. I need my safe space.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Well, I need my air fryer.
Speaker 4 (29:16):

Speaker 1 (29:21):
You've never bacon?
Speaker 6 (29:23):
No, I use a toaster of and it's greasy and old.
I want to get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
You think we put a poll up on Twitter people
would want you to get the air fryer, and we
did not want you.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
You want the people to decide and weigh in on it,
then so be it? Okay? What if we require him
to bring in items like one item in the air fire.
I like the way you think I could do that occasionally.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Apparently he doesn't want it that badly. He doesn't want
to air fright snacks.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
I want him.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
But I mean, well, now I have an air fer No,
it's not a.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Lot lot of work. It's an air frier. It's easy.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
You guys are cutting into my grocery building.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
No, no, but you buy what you buy the frozen foods.
You can buy those. The fries come out really good,
the frozen fries. Put those in the air fry a
little oil on top of there.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
It's not healthier for you, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Who cares about die anyway? They said, But taste, they
taste good. Yeah, they taste all right. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
Yeah, I've heard great things and I've never I've never
gotten a chance to have my own air fryer. It's
kind of a new phenomenon recently, these air friers.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
You're upsetting David the fried Daddy.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
M sorry, David f You know my middle name is Fry.
By the way, fro y e. I think I should
be getting the air fryer. I mean it's in my name.
Unbecoming you named after Hayden Fry. No, he was, he
was Fry. I'm named after my mom. Her last name
is Fry, so froy e, and if you had an
art to that, it becomes friar, and therefore I should
(30:52):
get the air fryer. So how's that for logic.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
It's a hard argument to beat.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
This is a really tough segment. You're providing here, a
very tough segment.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
I'm just stating the facts here. And the middle name
is fry. Yeah, that's the truth.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
If only was air fry.
