Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ding dong. It's our numb berth three. The mystery has
been solved here. It is our number.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Three of the show. We have asked Ben coming up
later this hour, but we begin on this Thursday with
Air and Rogers. A report saying that TV people are
not really excited about Rogers coming to television. So what
is your verdict on Aaron Rodgers and what is supposedly
a gloomy future post playing career in.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
The media world.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
What do you make of Aaron Rodgers and his sluggish
plan for the free agency slight cycle, which is just
pretty much to hang out and do nothing, hang out
and park at the moon.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
So we'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And how do you dissect the proposals to end the
automatic first down defensive holding.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Penalty in the NFL. We'll go there as well.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
All of it's coming your way right now here. It
is I'm a wonderful Thursday.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
It's number three.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Some medium musings, if you will, welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are
in the air everywhere beside one another as we attempt
to win the Coccus race coast to coast, border, the
(01:22):
border and beyond on the mast and absurdly powerful microphones
of FSR ammating live from the marathon, the Live Mike Marathon.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
We are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Tyraqt dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
that's a lot. Ten thousand recommended in stars. I know
truck stop Fungus has seen ten thousand pieces of bacteria
(02:01):
at those truck stops he's at, but ten thousand recommending
installars is a massive amount. Tire rack dot com the
Way Tire Buying show b So our lead this hour
is from TV land, well kind of from TV land.
We're doing like radio. It's not TV, although there's.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Cameras in here and you'll be able to watch all
of this on the YouTube soon enough. We're doing it a live.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
We're doing live and while the cat and mouse game
continues in free agency, Ain Rogers his name popped up
in media circles.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Now. I don't know if you saw this or not, maybe.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Maybe you missed it, but we are told that Aaron Rodgers,
big name right, talked about a lot in these parts
of town that Aaron Rodgers might not have a future
in the big money world of NFL media.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
The sports business website Front Office Sports tell us that
Aaron Rogers not mister popular. Mister popular, there's little interest
from TV executives, and many of them.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Would get nowhere near.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Nowhere near any kind of massive financial offer like the
biblical offer that Tom Brady got when he agreed to
that contract with Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Several media partners are said to be concerned the story
here that Aaron Rodgers comes off as a pompous know
it all.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Who would turn off viewers.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
One anonymous source said that Aaron Rodgers is quote un insufferable,
while another said that he needs an image rehab. All right,
so let us discuss the question, the question for the
esteem panel, what is your verdict.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
On Aaron Rodgers and the gloomy future?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Supposedly in the media world that TV executives are not
gung ho, they're not green light goh.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
They're yellow light or red light on Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
So I've got Leonard skinnerd Cosplay, and cafeteria and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a pastrami sandwich a world famous pastrami
sandwich scept from the Delhi whatever your favorite deli is. Now,
first of all, after a minutes long and I'm not
(04:40):
exaggerating minutes long Mallard deliberation, I determined that this particular
story about Aaron Rodgers is fluff.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It's fluffy, Mick. Fluff is what it is. And here's why,
all right.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Aaron Rodgers has said repeatedly that he is not interested
in following a traditional media job. That Rodgers has made
enough money from the Packers and the money he made
with the Jets and whatnot. He doesn't need in all
the discount double check money. He doesn't need to work.
He can just hang out at.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
His compound in Malaboo Boo and live a great life.
But his goal, at least based on his word, no,
heaby's lying.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But he has said he's not want to be a
carbon copy of Tony Romo or Troy Aikman or Peyton
Manning or any of those guys. We know what we know,
and what we know is that Rogers has bohemian tendencies,
that he's not your normal bear.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He's quirky. Think of the rock band.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
From the sixties there, Leonard Skinner free Burg, free Burg right.
Rather than sign with a major record label, he is
more likely to just be a garage band kind of guy.
And from we understand Airon Rogers, he already has a
million a year media job, makes way more than I make,
(06:04):
and I mean it'll take years and years to make
that money.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Aaron Rodgers makes over.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
A million dollars a year to show up on his
phone once or twice a week and play grab ass
with Pat McAfee.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
So that's immedia.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
If you're getting paid a million dollars for a ten
or fifteen minute segment.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
That's a side hustle.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And with new media, the way this works the jockocracy
in media. Aaron Rodgers could easily set up a microphone,
a camera and connect all that to his laptop in
the garage of his Malibu compound, and he can be
smoking and joking and chat with people that are into
(06:50):
remote viewing and goblins and time travelers and all of
that in no time at all. And big media companies
a top dollar to name brand celebrities who often do
dog crap podcast and have no listeners. But the people
running a lot of those companies are idiots, and they
(07:10):
cut big checks so we're not worried about Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Finding a new media gate. If he wants one, he'll.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Get it, whether it's Pat McAfee or Aaron can do
a remote broadcast with Joe Rogan from the jungles of
the Amazon.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
And they can go on the hunt for the.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Greatest Ayahuasca and he can do the show with his
partner Sasquatch, and it would be great Rogers and Sasquatch
in the morning, all right. Now, Secondly, what do you
make of air in Rogers and this continuum never ending,
(07:53):
rather sluggish approach to the free agency cycle. So he's
keeping the Steel and the Giants and maybe even the
Vikings in their own darkness retreat. So I've determined, based
on an examination of the available evidence, that it is
more likely than not that Aaron Rodgers is doing cosplay
(08:18):
that Rogers right now is playing the role of Marco Polo.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I'll get close to the nice weather and the summer
will be here. Before you know it, kids will be
in the swimming pool and they'll be playing Marco Polo.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Aaron Rodgers is already playing Marco Polo. He's a globe treker,
He's a hemonist.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Rogers pursuit of pleasure in the offseason is the most
important thing. And as long as Rogers does not sign
a contract via docu sign, he can rip through any part.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Of the world he wants.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
He can skip team activities and doesn't have to show
up to any news conference, and he can go to
find the gardens of Babylon and walk up those pyramids
in Mexico and hang out with the Aztecs, and go
back to Egypt again and wherever else he wants to go,
right go on a safari somewhere in Africa.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Just you knock yourself out.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Aaron can float on a giant pink inflatable if he
wants in any body of water, on a little flamingo
floating and have a cocktail and no one can complain
because he doesn't have a contract yet. Well, people will
still complain, but he's not gonna be fine. Remember we
got in trouble with the Jets because he went to
Egypt and he skipped mandatory team activities last year and that.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
That really rubbed him the wrong way. Now final fault.
So there have been a number of.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Rule changes that have been proposed. Now we don't have
time to break them all down. I'm sure we'll talk.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
About this more as the story continues to evolve.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
That we've discussed in recent months, the tushy pushy and
how the Green Bay Packers are so offended by tush
they would like to ban that they do not like
the tush push Now a couple of the other rule
change proposals that caught our attention.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
The Detroit Lions very active.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
The Lions proposed a rule that would remove the automatic
first down for defensive holding and illegal contact penalties.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
They also proposed a rule that would allow wildcard teams
to be seated higher than a division champion based on record.
You might remember this year, Minnesota and Detroit played for
the NFC Championship game in that final regular season game,
and then the Vikings lost, and even though they had
(10:53):
a better record, they were the designated road team, even
though they played the game on a neutral site because
of the fires in Los Angeles. But the Vikings were
the road team against the Rams, all right, So a
couple of things to break down here. That and also,
as we mentioned, the the ending, the Lions are calling
for the ending of the automatic first down for defensive
(11:13):
holding an illegal contact. So how do you dissect the
proposal to end the automatica first down on the defensive
holding penalty? So I present this to you like a cafeteria.
For the Detroit Lions, it's a cafeteria. It is a
self serving just like you're at a cafeteria.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
It is a.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Self serving move. And here's why the Lions, as I
understand it, they want to get rid of the automatic
first down for defensive holding, illegal contact and all that, because,
according to the numbers, they commit the most of those
type of penalties.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
In the entire NFL.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
In fact, if you go back just in their division,
now they have the most to the NFL, but in
their division it was thirty three percent more of those
defensive holding illegal conduct are illegal contact penalties then the
next closest team in their division. So the reason that
(12:16):
this is not going to happen is rather simple, right,
Rather simple. If it's third down and twenty or third
and thirty, and let's say the wide receiver zooms past
the defensive back and it looks like they're gonna go
to pey dirt, what are you gonna do if the
(12:39):
penalty is only a loss of five or ten yards
and it's a second down and twenty rather third down
and twenty or fourth down and thirty or whatever instead
of an automatic first if they change that, if you're
a defensive back and you're getting beat, you grab, you hold,
you clutch, you tackle if you have to, what ever
(13:00):
it takes. If you're about to get beat. Therefore it's
only a five yard penalty, you're good to go. Plus
the NFL officials have more control. You'll go deep state conspiracy.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
If you want to go there, we can go there,
and they can easily influence games. It's much easier to
influence games with a.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Well timed, subjective, subjective automatic first down on one of
those defensive holding or illegal contact penalties. You're in much
better shape, much better shape now as far as the
the home field, if you have a better record as
a wildcard team, So I was asking around trying to
(13:39):
get to the bottom, it seems rather logical if you
have a better record, doesn't matter. But the NFL, from
what I'm hearing around the NFL is they love division
winners and they want that to matter. That should be
more important to be a division winner than a wildcard team.
And they feel like if you give the wildcard team
(14:00):
team a home game, that you're you're not celebrating the
division win, and that that's the most important thing. Now,
there have been many people that have pointed out over
the years this is one of those archaic things about
sports that much like spring training in baseball or training
(14:20):
camp in the NFL, those are things that were done
when the players had to have jobs selling cars or
working construction in the offseason because they weren't making one
hundred thousand dollars a day playing their sport, right, these
ungodly amounts of money, and so they had to get
in shape.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And they continue it.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
They've just turned it into part of the season. They
can sell, They can sell tickets to some of these
events and the exhibitions. Baseball makes a lot of money
during spring training, for example, but football makes a fair
amount during training camp. They have events there, they have
the exhibition games and whatnot. So again, this is what
I'm hearing. I'm fine with that, but from what I understand,
(15:00):
they're not going to do it because they want.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
To protect the sanctity of the division.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
The reason we have those division matchups is because when
these sports leagues were formed, travel was not very good,
and it took a long time to go anywhere, and
so you played the team's closest to you more often.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
That's why you did it. And of course, now if
you're a.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Professional grade sports franchise, I mean you go anywhere you
want very quickly, very very very quickly, and in luxury,
absolute luxury. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Bass fishing bass fishing then playing football. Yeah. I'm gonna
call bull crap.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
On that, because listen, I've been fishing a few times.
I'm not a professional fisherman by any means. However, isn't
fishing all about the placement?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
You know?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
It's it's really dependent on if the fish are biting
or not. Now, there are some techniques you can use
to be better at it. I'm calling bull crap, That's
what I'm calling. Let's get back to the calls and
we will have coming up. Ask man, your questions are
answers that'll be coming up in a little bit. Let's
say hello to Enie, Meenie, miney Moe. Let's say hello
(23:09):
to Charlie, who's in Wisconsin. Hello, Charlie, Welcome, Charlie.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Just hung up? What a schmark. Let's say hello to
who do we have here? Mister mister K. Is that
his name there in Colorado? Plunk plunk punk, that's a
dangerous name to say. Go I'll call mister K. Hello,
mister K.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Hey, how you doing, buddy?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Welcome?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Well, thank you? Things are good.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know I couldn't how about them lacas.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
You know, I couldn't be more impressed with, you know,
the the white guys that are shooting the ball, and
you know, things are good. But here up in Colorado
we have a.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Bunch of snow, not now, but you know, things are good.
And yeah, you sound just like e dog. Yeah, he
sounds just like you dog. I don't know what the
heck that is, but you know there you got your
angry Bill. How's Melissa there is? You're doing all right,
Melissa doing okay?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Things are good. I had the laryngitis and the you know, okay,
all right, I gotta go, thank you. Let's say hello
to that was a phony phone call. Let's say hello
to blind Emmett, the Seahawks fan. Hello, blind Emmitt.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Big Ben?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Now?
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Maybe Travis Hunter, like you know what he's talking about
with the fishing is maybe he can like reel up
the polls better. Than anyone else. I mean, that's the
only thing that can make sense because you're kind of right.
It's all about if the fish or biting that day.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yeah, I mean you can kind of go certain places
there might be fish, and you can have radar. But
even if you have radar as a fisherman, isn't the
radar what's doing the trick?
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Not you?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Because the radar is telling you where to go where
the fish might be. It's not you, fat.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Rogers. My thing is is I guarantee you, Like I
don't know if you guys know who MATC. Collins is,
but he's like one of those like weird guys as well.
He like does oh I go barefoot everywhere? I really
see him and Aaron Rodgers starting up a podcast together
and it's just getting real weird an hour a week,
like I could see it happening. And also Aaron Rodgers
he needed to retire, Like you're forty one years old,
(25:22):
No one wants you anymore, Like you're.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's not true. No, that's not wrong. Multiple teams are
waiting around, that's how much they want him. They're waiting around.
It's like dude, it's like dudes waiting for a woman.
They're like waiting, they're waiting.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
The only team that would make sense for him to
go to if he wants to like actually try and
do something with the last two years of his career
is a Pittsburgh Steelers because they have that defense. They
just picked up DK, who I'm not as high on
him as everyone else is, and I'm sure you're not
as well, but I still think he can make some
plays with Aaron Rodgers. But the one thing that's kind
of scary for the Steelers at the same time, they
(25:57):
really got to put in the consideration that old line
is not very good either. I mean it's better than
the Jets, but it's not good.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Well, you'll see how amazing the offensive line improves with
a quarterback that knows to get rid of the football
blind it because Russell Wilson's entire career, he's had problems
holding the ball for too long and justin fields also
in that same area, and if you get a quarterback
in there that knows how to actually play the position
and get rid of the football, suddenly your offensive line is.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Going to be much better. It's shocking, it's like an
amazing thing. And if you went to Minnesota. If the
Vikings really think JJ McCarthy blows.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
He's fit for him, but they're not doing that well.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
You don't know that.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You have no idea if they don't think McCarthy can play,
or he's not ready, and there must be somebody there
that doesn't think he's ready. Otherwise, why would all these
rumors be out there? They want to add somebody like
Aaron Rodgers or the other day there was a rumor
about Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
For God's sakes, Yeah, that's crazy. By like, my thing
with the Vikings is Kevin O'Connell. I mean, Sam Darnold
was hot trash before he went to Minnesota, and even
Cousins is doing really good in that system for a while.
If I think a lot of it's Kevin O'Connell and
JJ McCarthy could just acquiesce to it with time and washing.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Failm I mean from what I be careful, be careful,
going all system, you know, going all system, and all
people say the same thing. I said the same thing
about like the Patriots, and then they got rid of
Tom Brady and it turns out it wasn't the system.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
It wasn't Josh McDaniels. It was you got actually have
somebody that can.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Play if you bringing Aaron Rodgers. Like, who's to say
that he doesn't ruin Kevin O'Connell's career. I mean he
ruined saw him and Iberflus had bad beast towards the end,
he didn't well, how did he ruin?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Robert Robert Salah was a cheerleading defensive coach for the
forty nine ers who failed as an NFL head coach.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
How did Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Jack Wilson, who where's he now? Like the Dolphins, Robert.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Robert Sala as a head coach should be doing one
of those airport webinar things about motivational speaking is what
he should be doing.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
So Cho's not the dude from the Bears who like
didn't call the time I'm out on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Like thirst, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
This guy named Matt Ebert Matt Eberflus who's now the
defensive coordinator of the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
What a hustle. These guys suck at their job and
they just get different, John.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
They bounce from team to team like your guy Robert Sala,
the cheerleader who's now back with the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
So there you go. All right, I thank you. That
was a that was a very sporty phone call. Blind

Uh yeah, Well, why why this night, Charlie? Why did
you decide to call this night? Charlie? Why is this
night different than all other nights?

You probably don't know that, dude, I have no idea, I.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
Have no Well this is interesting. I'm not reading about
this because I've you know, gone down this rabbit hole. Sure, so,
the Blue Golds, as they are known, it was going
to reflect the school's colors, very very original. There's their
colors are navy blue and old gold, and so they're
the Blue Golds. But then in twenty eleven, the student
body voted in favor of a mythical bird as a mascot,
(31:37):
following a student led initiative, and it says the bird
represents the students, not the university itself.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Oh well, okay, I did not know that. Yeah, well,
you're learning about your school. You call a radio show
to learn about your school.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
It's fascinating, Yeah, exactly, yeah, nothing no other reason to
call the show.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
And so what is your plan there? You're gonna how
many more years of school?
Speaker 2 (32:02):

you were born, and kato'kalan was in the trial.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
He was like this kind of weird, not weird, he's
actually like a regular dude, but he was like a
young guy. He was like a kind of a surfer.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Oh, I feel like I didn't know it was a
little really oh man, that's not good because I think
I just.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Saw it on TV and I never like, I didn't

Speaker 1 (36:57):
What it was you just wanted someone to talk to.
I understand. Yes. I was like like eight, yeah, I

Speaker 7 (37:07):

you know, any like it, just it was available, you know,
on the internet.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Big stud Yeah No.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
But you know what I used to do though, I
used to call those those guys that did those sleazy
infomercials on the weekend sports radio shows free Pick of
the Day, right, yeah, and you had to listen, you
had to listen to like a ten minute commercial and
at the very end they're like, oh take NB lay
the points and then it was always wrong the pick,
and then they call you.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
They keep calling it was so I hated it.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
So the one time I did call it sex hotline
was when I was in the early days of me
working here. Somebody called up and said, hey, did you
know if you dial just this number instead of that number,
that it goes to a sex hotline?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, And I was like, what I
remember that? Yeah, the Fox Sports Radio number. If you're
if you're one number off, you'll be very surprised what
you here? All right?
Speaker 7 (37:58):
Next, all right, this question is from Rob in three
two one, Hi, Rob, wants to know, Ben, have you
ever solved the Rubik's Cube?
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Yeah, but i' mean not faster. And we used to
futs around with that when we were kids, and I did.
I don't think I could do it again. And it
took me probably about three weeks to get it solved,
so it doesn't really count every night I fights around
with it.
Speaker 7 (38:24):
Next, Gunner would like to know where everybody went to college.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Saddleback College, the Harvard of the West Coast.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Wonderful school produced Mark Grace to the Chicago Cobbs and

Mary mac quickly coop.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
It can be, it can't be.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
It's got to be a thick soup though, Like Dad,
what's that Italian soup? That meatball soup that's pretty good
Ding dong. It's our numb berth three. The mystery has
been solved here. It is our number.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Three of the show. We have asked Ben coming up
later this hour, but we begin on this Thursday with
Air and Rogers. A report saying that TV people are
not really excited about Rogers coming to television. So what
is your verdict on Aaron Rodgers and what is supposedly
a gloomy future post playing career in.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
The media world.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
What do you make of Aaron Rodgers and his sluggish
plan for the free agency slight cycle, which is just
pretty much to hang out and do nothing, hang out
and park at the moon.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
So we'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And how do you dissect the proposals to end the
automatic first down defensive holding.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Penalty in the NFL. We'll go there as well.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
All of it's coming your way right now here. It
is I'm a wonderful Thursday.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
It's number three.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Some medium musings, if you will, welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are
in the air everywhere beside one another as we attempt
to win the Coccus race coast to coast, border, the
(01:22):
border and beyond on the mast and absurdly powerful microphones
of FSR ammating live from the marathon, the Live Mike Marathon.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
We are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Tyraqt dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
that's a lot. Ten thousand recommended in stars. I know
truck stop Fungus has seen ten thousand pieces of bacteria
(02:01):
at those truck stops he's at, but ten thousand recommending
installars is a massive amount. Tire rack dot com the
Way Tire Buying show b So our lead this hour
is from TV land, well kind of from TV land.
We're doing like radio. It's not TV, although there's.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Cameras in here and you'll be able to watch all
of this on the YouTube soon enough. We're doing it a live.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
We're doing live and while the cat and mouse game
continues in free agency, Ain Rogers his name popped up
in media circles.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Now. I don't know if you saw this or not, maybe.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Maybe you missed it, but we are told that Aaron Rodgers,
big name right, talked about a lot in these parts
of town that Aaron Rodgers might not have a future
in the big money world of NFL media.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
The sports business website Front Office Sports tell us that
Aaron Rogers not mister popular. Mister popular, there's little interest
from TV executives, and many of them.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Would get nowhere near.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Nowhere near any kind of massive financial offer like the
biblical offer that Tom Brady got when he agreed to
that contract with Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Several media partners are said to be concerned the story
here that Aaron Rodgers comes off as a pompous know
it all.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Who would turn off viewers.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
One anonymous source said that Aaron Rodgers is quote un insufferable,
while another said that he needs an image rehab. All right,
so let us discuss the question, the question for the
esteem panel, what is your verdict.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
On Aaron Rodgers and the gloomy future?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Supposedly in the media world that TV executives are not
gung ho, they're not green light goh.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
They're yellow light or red light on Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
So I've got Leonard skinnerd Cosplay, and cafeteria and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a pastrami sandwich a world famous pastrami
sandwich scept from the Delhi whatever your favorite deli is. Now,
first of all, after a minutes long and I'm not
(04:40):
exaggerating minutes long Mallard deliberation, I determined that this particular
story about Aaron Rodgers is fluff.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It's fluffy, Mick. Fluff is what it is. And here's why,
all right.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Aaron Rodgers has said repeatedly that he is not interested
in following a traditional media job. That Rodgers has made
enough money from the Packers and the money he made
with the Jets and whatnot. He doesn't need in all
the discount double check money. He doesn't need to work.
He can just hang out at.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
His compound in Malaboo Boo and live a great life.
But his goal, at least based on his word, no,
heaby's lying.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But he has said he's not want to be a
carbon copy of Tony Romo or Troy Aikman or Peyton
Manning or any of those guys. We know what we know,
and what we know is that Rogers has bohemian tendencies,
that he's not your normal bear.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He's quirky. Think of the rock band.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
From the sixties there, Leonard Skinner free Burg, free Burg right.
Rather than sign with a major record label, he is
more likely to just be a garage band kind of guy.
And from we understand Airon Rogers, he already has a
million a year media job, makes way more than I make,
(06:04):
and I mean it'll take years and years to make
that money.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Aaron Rodgers makes over.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
A million dollars a year to show up on his
phone once or twice a week and play grab ass
with Pat McAfee.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
So that's immedia.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
If you're getting paid a million dollars for a ten
or fifteen minute segment.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
That's a side hustle.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And with new media, the way this works the jockocracy
in media. Aaron Rodgers could easily set up a microphone,
a camera and connect all that to his laptop in
the garage of his Malibu compound, and he can be
smoking and joking and chat with people that are into
(06:50):
remote viewing and goblins and time travelers and all of
that in no time at all. And big media companies
a top dollar to name brand celebrities who often do
dog crap podcast and have no listeners. But the people
running a lot of those companies are idiots, and they
(07:10):
cut big checks so we're not worried about Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Finding a new media gate. If he wants one, he'll.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Get it, whether it's Pat McAfee or Aaron can do
a remote broadcast with Joe Rogan from the jungles of
the Amazon.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
And they can go on the hunt for the.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Greatest Ayahuasca and he can do the show with his
partner Sasquatch, and it would be great Rogers and Sasquatch
in the morning, all right. Now, Secondly, what do you
make of air in Rogers and this continuum never ending,
(07:53):
rather sluggish approach to the free agency cycle. So he's
keeping the Steel and the Giants and maybe even the
Vikings in their own darkness retreat. So I've determined, based
on an examination of the available evidence, that it is
more likely than not that Aaron Rodgers is doing cosplay
(08:18):
that Rogers right now is playing the role of Marco Polo.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I'll get close to the nice weather and the summer
will be here. Before you know it, kids will be
in the swimming pool and they'll be playing Marco Polo.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Aaron Rodgers is already playing Marco Polo. He's a globe treker,
He's a hemonist.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Rogers pursuit of pleasure in the offseason is the most
important thing. And as long as Rogers does not sign
a contract via docu sign, he can rip through any part.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Of the world he wants.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
He can skip team activities and doesn't have to show
up to any news conference, and he can go to
find the gardens of Babylon and walk up those pyramids
in Mexico and hang out with the Aztecs, and go
back to Egypt again and wherever else he wants to go,
right go on a safari somewhere in Africa.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Just you knock yourself out.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Aaron can float on a giant pink inflatable if he
wants in any body of water, on a little flamingo
floating and have a cocktail and no one can complain
because he doesn't have a contract yet. Well, people will
still complain, but he's not gonna be fine. Remember we
got in trouble with the Jets because he went to
Egypt and he skipped mandatory team activities last year and that.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
That really rubbed him the wrong way. Now final fault.
So there have been a number of.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Rule changes that have been proposed. Now we don't have
time to break them all down. I'm sure we'll talk.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
About this more as the story continues to evolve.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
That we've discussed in recent months, the tushy pushy and
how the Green Bay Packers are so offended by tush
they would like to ban that they do not like
the tush push Now a couple of the other rule
change proposals that caught our attention.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
The Detroit Lions very active.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
The Lions proposed a rule that would remove the automatic
first down for defensive holding and illegal contact penalties.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
They also proposed a rule that would allow wildcard teams
to be seated higher than a division champion based on record.
You might remember this year, Minnesota and Detroit played for
the NFC Championship game in that final regular season game,
and then the Vikings lost, and even though they had
(10:53):
a better record, they were the designated road team, even
though they played the game on a neutral site because
of the fires in Los Angeles. But the Vikings were
the road team against the Rams, all right, So a
couple of things to break down here. That and also,
as we mentioned, the the ending, the Lions are calling
for the ending of the automatic first down for defensive
(11:13):
holding an illegal contact. So how do you dissect the
proposal to end the automatica first down on the defensive
holding penalty? So I present this to you like a cafeteria.
For the Detroit Lions, it's a cafeteria. It is a
self serving just like you're at a cafeteria.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
It is a.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Self serving move. And here's why the Lions, as I
understand it, they want to get rid of the automatic
first down for defensive holding, illegal contact and all that, because,
according to the numbers, they commit the most of those
type of penalties.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
In the entire NFL.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
In fact, if you go back just in their division,
now they have the most to the NFL, but in
their division it was thirty three percent more of those
defensive holding illegal conduct are illegal contact penalties then the
next closest team in their division. So the reason that
(12:16):
this is not going to happen is rather simple, right,
Rather simple. If it's third down and twenty or third
and thirty, and let's say the wide receiver zooms past
the defensive back and it looks like they're gonna go
to pey dirt, what are you gonna do if the
(12:39):
penalty is only a loss of five or ten yards
and it's a second down and twenty rather third down
and twenty or fourth down and thirty or whatever instead
of an automatic first if they change that, if you're
a defensive back and you're getting beat, you grab, you hold,
you clutch, you tackle if you have to, what ever
(13:00):
it takes. If you're about to get beat. Therefore it's
only a five yard penalty, you're good to go. Plus
the NFL officials have more control. You'll go deep state conspiracy.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
If you want to go there, we can go there,
and they can easily influence games. It's much easier to
influence games with a.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Well timed, subjective, subjective automatic first down on one of
those defensive holding or illegal contact penalties. You're in much
better shape, much better shape now as far as the
the home field, if you have a better record as
a wildcard team, So I was asking around trying to
(13:39):
get to the bottom, it seems rather logical if you
have a better record, doesn't matter. But the NFL, from
what I'm hearing around the NFL is they love division
winners and they want that to matter. That should be
more important to be a division winner than a wildcard team.
And they feel like if you give the wildcard team
(14:00):
team a home game, that you're you're not celebrating the
division win, and that that's the most important thing. Now,
there have been many people that have pointed out over
the years this is one of those archaic things about
sports that much like spring training in baseball or training
(14:20):
camp in the NFL, those are things that were done
when the players had to have jobs selling cars or
working construction in the offseason because they weren't making one
hundred thousand dollars a day playing their sport, right, these
ungodly amounts of money, and so they had to get
in shape.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And they continue it.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
They've just turned it into part of the season. They
can sell, They can sell tickets to some of these
events and the exhibitions. Baseball makes a lot of money
during spring training, for example, but football makes a fair
amount during training camp. They have events there, they have
the exhibition games and whatnot. So again, this is what
I'm hearing. I'm fine with that, but from what I understand,
(15:00):
they're not going to do it because they want.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
To protect the sanctity of the division.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
The reason we have those division matchups is because when
these sports leagues were formed, travel was not very good,
and it took a long time to go anywhere, and
so you played the team's closest to you more often.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
That's why you did it. And of course, now if
you're a.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Professional grade sports franchise, I mean you go anywhere you
want very quickly, very very very quickly, and in luxury,

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Correct answer is Travis Hunter says he is better at.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Bass fishing bass fishing then playing football. Yeah. I'm gonna
call bull crap.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
On that, because listen, I've been fishing a few times.
I'm not a professional fisherman by any means. However, isn't
fishing all about the placement?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
You know?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
It's it's really dependent on if the fish are biting
or not. Now, there are some techniques you can use
to be better at it. I'm calling bull crap, That's
what I'm calling. Let's get back to the calls and
we will have coming up. Ask man, your questions are
answers that'll be coming up in a little bit. Let's
say hello to Enie, Meenie, miney Moe. Let's say hello
(23:09):
to Charlie, who's in Wisconsin. Hello, Charlie, Welcome, Charlie.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Just hung up? What a schmark. Let's say hello to
who do we have here? Mister mister K. Is that
his name there in Colorado? Plunk plunk punk, that's a
dangerous name to say. Go I'll call mister K. Hello,
mister K.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Hey, how you doing, buddy?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Welcome?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Well, thank you? Things are good.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know I couldn't how about them lacas.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
You know, I couldn't be more impressed with, you know,
the the white guys that are shooting the ball, and
you know, things are good. But here up in Colorado
we have a.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Bunch of snow, not now, but you know, things are good.
And yeah, you sound just like e dog. Yeah, he
sounds just like you dog. I don't know what the
heck that is, but you know there you got your
angry Bill. How's Melissa there is? You're doing all right,
Melissa doing okay?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Things are good. I had the laryngitis and the you know, okay,
all right, I gotta go, thank you. Let's say hello
to that was a phony phone call. Let's say hello
to blind Emmett, the Seahawks fan. Hello, blind Emmitt.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Big Ben?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Now?
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Maybe Travis Hunter, like you know what he's talking about
with the fishing is maybe he can like reel up
the polls better. Than anyone else. I mean, that's the
only thing that can make sense because you're kind of right.
It's all about if the fish or biting that day.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yeah, I mean you can kind of go certain places
there might be fish, and you can have radar. But
even if you have radar as a fisherman, isn't the
radar what's doing the trick?
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Not you?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Because the radar is telling you where to go where
the fish might be. It's not you, fat.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Rogers. My thing is is I guarantee you, Like I
don't know if you guys know who MATC. Collins is,
but he's like one of those like weird guys as well.
He like does oh I go barefoot everywhere? I really
see him and Aaron Rodgers starting up a podcast together
and it's just getting real weird an hour a week,
like I could see it happening. And also Aaron Rodgers
he needed to retire, Like you're forty one years old,
(25:22):
No one wants you anymore, Like you're.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's not true. No, that's not wrong. Multiple teams are
waiting around, that's how much they want him. They're waiting around.
It's like dude, it's like dudes waiting for a woman.
They're like waiting, they're waiting.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
The only team that would make sense for him to
go to if he wants to like actually try and
do something with the last two years of his career
is a Pittsburgh Steelers because they have that defense. They
just picked up DK, who I'm not as high on
him as everyone else is, and I'm sure you're not
as well, but I still think he can make some
plays with Aaron Rodgers. But the one thing that's kind
of scary for the Steelers at the same time, they
(25:57):
really got to put in the consideration that old line
is not very good either. I mean it's better than
the Jets, but it's not good.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Well, you'll see how amazing the offensive line improves with
a quarterback that knows to get rid of the football
blind it because Russell Wilson's entire career, he's had problems
holding the ball for too long and justin fields also
in that same area, and if you get a quarterback
in there that knows how to actually play the position
and get rid of the football, suddenly your offensive line is.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Going to be much better. It's shocking, it's like an
amazing thing. And if you went to Minnesota. If the
Vikings really think JJ McCarthy blows.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
He's fit for him, but they're not doing that well.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
You don't know that.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You have no idea if they don't think McCarthy can play,
or he's not ready, and there must be somebody there
that doesn't think he's ready. Otherwise, why would all these
rumors be out there? They want to add somebody like
Aaron Rodgers or the other day there was a rumor
about Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
For God's sakes, Yeah, that's crazy. By like, my thing
with the Vikings is Kevin O'Connell. I mean, Sam Darnold
was hot trash before he went to Minnesota, and even
Cousins is doing really good in that system for a while.
If I think a lot of it's Kevin O'Connell and
JJ McCarthy could just acquiesce to it with time and washing.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Failm I mean from what I be careful, be careful,
going all system, you know, going all system, and all
people say the same thing. I said the same thing
about like the Patriots, and then they got rid of
Tom Brady and it turns out it wasn't the system.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
It wasn't Josh McDaniels. It was you got actually have
somebody that can.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Play if you bringing Aaron Rodgers. Like, who's to say
that he doesn't ruin Kevin O'Connell's career. I mean he
ruined saw him and Iberflus had bad beast towards the end,
he didn't well, how did he ruin?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Robert Robert Salah was a cheerleading defensive coach for the
forty nine ers who failed as an NFL head coach.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
How did Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Jack Wilson, who where's he now? Like the Dolphins, Robert.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Robert Sala as a head coach should be doing one
of those airport webinar things about motivational speaking is what
he should be doing.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
So Cho's not the dude from the Bears who like
didn't call the time I'm out on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Like thirst, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
This guy named Matt Ebert Matt Eberflus who's now the
defensive coordinator of the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
What a hustle. These guys suck at their job and
they just get different, John.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
They bounce from team to team like your guy Robert Sala,
the cheerleader who's now back with the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
So there you go. All right, I thank you. That
was a that was a very sporty phone call. Blind
blind it very sporty.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
That was way too sporty, right, I understand Charlie has
called back, So let's let's check in with Charlie, who's
in Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I yelled at you, Charlie, the calls being why are
you recording this? Are you? Are you recording this on
your phone? What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (28:47):
I am yes?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Really, are you going to be using this against me
in the court of law or something like that?
Speaker 6 (28:51):
I no, It's just my first time calling ever, so
I just thought, you know, we could.
Speaker 2 (28:58):

this because I've you know, gone down this rabbit hole. Sure, so,
the Blue Golds, as they are known, it was going
to reflect the school's colors, very very original. There's their
colors are navy blue and old gold, and so they're
the Blue Golds. But then in twenty eleven, the student
body voted in favor of a mythical bird as a mascot,
(31:37):
following a student led initiative, and it says the bird
represents the students, not the university itself.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Oh well, okay, I did not know that. Yeah, well,
