Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom Shaka laka. So it has come and it has gone.
Here in our number four, and we discuss why Aaron
Rodgers did not announce his Steelers deal. The chatter was
he was going to go on with Pat McAfee and
say here I am Pittsburgh, drown me in Peroghis, but
(00:20):
he didn't do that. Also, what is the new theory
on Aaron Rodgers keeping the Steelers in limbo? And how
do you reflect on Tyreek Hill in Miami, his latest
brush with the law, the pros, the cons and everything else.
Right now here it is make way for our number four.
(00:41):
Have a wonderful Thursday.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Here it is a false alarm, a false alarm.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere the epitome
of gas baggery as we provide the art of clever

Speaker 2 (01:22):
As we navigate our way through.

Western Australia and Ozzie momentum. We have many great listeners
listen live. We're an evening show in Australia and there
(01:55):
are a couple of show contributors who love the number
ten thousand. So our lead this hour is from the
National foot Ball League and we're gonna start out in Pittsburgh, PA. Now,
for the last several weeks, Internet conspiracy theorists have been
feeding us a study diet. In fact, not even feeding us.
(02:18):
They've been preaching to you and I that A. And
Rogers was going to announce his big move. It was
gonna happen on Wednesday night and he was going to
the Steelers. After all, Rogers was set to appear, so
we were told with his bff Pat McAfee and during
(02:40):
the football season he gets paid over a.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Million dollars to go on and play.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Grab ass with Pat McAfee and his co host aj
Hawk on the Little YouTube show and Hawk and McAfee
there were, you know, teammates with the back of the
day in the NFL, so they know each other. That
Rogers was expected again to make a WWE like appearance
at Pat McAfee's event. He has some event in Pittsburgh
(03:08):
and supposedly a packed house and all that.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
So did you hear what happened? You did not? All right?
Perhaps not? So?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Aaron Rodgers was nowhere to be seen. He was not
in the building. Back in the old days they said
Elvis has left the building. He was not in the
building to leave the building. He was not there at
the live event. Rogers, meaning his NFL plans, are still
doing the limbo. So let us discuss, after all of
(03:37):
that chatter, all of that chatter, why didn't Aaron Rodgers
announce the Steelers agreement with Pat McAfee on Wednesday night?
So I've got tea party, kissing, cousins and tiptoeing, and
we will combine all of these things together and line
(03:57):
them up like bottles of Heinz catch on the assembly.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Line there in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
All right, So to kick off here to answer the question,
why didn't Aaron Rodgers announce the Steelers deal. Well, it's
a great question. It's possible there is no deal, right,
no deal. You can't announce a deal. There's no deal,
no deal, no deal. It's also possible the rumor, which
came out of thin air from random people or bots online,
(04:27):
was actually planted by Pat McAfee's posse to sell tickets. Now,
on the record, McAfee said that he hasn't spoken to
Aaron Rodgers in weeks or months, which leads me to leave.
They probably text each other all the time. But from
what we understand.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The place was full, but it was much like high
school prom this event.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Everyone was all dressed up ready for Aaron Rodgers to.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Make his way through, like the kool aid Man's Oh yeah,
and didn't happen?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Didn't happen? Got stood up? There? Where's Rogers? Where is
Aaron Rodgers? Well, Rogers likely having a tea party somewhere
in Malibu drinking copious amounts of ayahuasca, a delicious hallucinogenic
tea from Peru, and Rogers is witnessing. His skin is crawling,
(05:22):
He's hearing those voices in his head right. He's smelling
odd odors he's never smelled before. And seeing lights and
cosmic beings and all of that while floating in the
air unless he's not.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Furthermore so, with Rogers not announcing, everyone assumed April ninth
with the day.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Well now it's April tenth. So what is the new theory?
What is the new.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Theory on Aaron Rodgers keeping the Steelers in limbo?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So is he waiting for the Vikings?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Did he go somewhere in the Amazon and buy a
voodoo doll to cause Josh Allen an injury or Lamar
Jackson or Patrick wan Holmes so he can slide into
one of those teams. No, the latest scuttle, but is
Aaron Rodgers is on the warpath. He is waiting until
after the first round and the second round of the
(06:16):
NFL draft. Rogers is waiting until the early part of
the draft to see what does Steelers do with their
first round pick and the other picks high picks and
the reason he's doing that. But it's certainly logical because
you want to avoid kissing Cousins two point zero or
(06:39):
go Kirk Cousins. Now, some have said Kirk Cousins story
is a horror story.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I would disagree. I would disagree.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
He didn't exactly do the jitterbug when he got to Atlanta,
but a year ago the Falcons drafted Michael Pennex junior,
and that meant that kirk Cousins was dead man walking
and he ended up being benched. The reason it's not
a horror story is because kirk Cousins has a nice,
humble abode, because he got one hundred million dollars guaranteed,
(07:10):
one hundred million, nice round number one hundred million guaranteed,
and so Rogers doesn't want to have that happen. I
want to avoid the deja vu situation. I'm not talking
about the Strip Club and the Steelers. Let's say they
take Shader Sanders he free falls, or Jalen Milroe or
one of these other secondary quarterbacks and all of a sudden,
(07:33):
you're Aaron Rodgers are like, no bueno. I'll just hang
out in Malibu and I'm gonna wait for somebody to
get hurt and.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Then if I want to play, I'll play.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
If not, I'll I'll just go you schmooze with Joe
Rogan and that's it all right now. Last thing, we
head to South Florida, where police were called to the
home of Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
We learned about this. It happened earlier in the week.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
There was a scuffle of some kind, I guess a
verbal dispute.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
They're saying mostly verbal, mostly verbal.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Tyreek Hill and his wife the classic he said, she said,
domestic dispute. However, there were no charges that were filed.
There were no charges that were filed.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Now, according to the.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Police report, which is a version of what happened, but
probably not the whole version and not one hundred percent accurate.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But the police report said that the.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Responding officers, they got a call from the mother in law,
that would be Tyreek Hill's mother in law, who then
told them that Hill was quote very aggressive and impulsive.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And that usually happens.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
This is my commentary on any day that ends and why,
any day that ends, and why? And the mother in
law said that she was afraid for her daughter.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
So Tyreek gets into the argument.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Apparently he took a laptop of his wife there, his
strange wife, and punted it like a football or tossed
it down to the floor, and then grabbed the kid,
one of his many kids. And they say that he
headed to the balcony which you say balcony. Was it
(09:18):
like the second floor, No, thirty fifth floor condo. Is
that where he lives because I know he had a
Maybe that's her place. Maybe they're separated, she lives in
that place. I remember he had the house that was
on fire. Remember that hard to keep track. So Tyrek
Hill had been attending, according to this story, had been
attending couple's therapy. There's some alarm bells going off, there
(09:40):
a lot of arguments, and it's just not working out.
And so the mother in law is like that, they're
getting divorced.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
In the process of getting divorced.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Now, remember Tyreek filed for divorce and then retracted the
divorce and then said it was just I don't know
who did it.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
So question, how do you reflect on Tyreek Hill and
his latest brush with the law. So this is not
up there as a whoopsie daisy based on what we know,
but it is on brand. It is on brand, and
when you get into a domestic situation, it gets ugly fast,
(10:21):
from like zero to one hundred real fast. But Tyreek
is always the common denominator in these stories. He's always
tiptoeing around land mines and it appears that yet again
Tyreek Hill has been able to dodge handcuffs. The Cheetah
is an escapeologist. He's a modern day Harry Houdini.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Now Harry Houdini would do water torture and he do
straight jackets and Tyreek just stays out of handcuffs and
prison cells and not all the time. His rap sheet
goes way back.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And the most famous was over a decade ago, been
eleven years now since he was at Oklahoma State and
pled guilty to domestic assault and also.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I think strangulation of his then pregnant girlfriend. But in
recent years he's he had that assault.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
That weird story at the marina where he assaulted the
guy working at.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
The dock and he got out of that he had
to cut a check. And then remember the.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Situation going to the dolphin game where there was that
traffic stop.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
He was on his way to a game. He was
over the speed limits.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
A motorcycle cop pulled them over. He had these thick,
limbo tinted windows. He wouldn't roll down the window, didn't
follow the command, and then there was an aggressive police
officer who removed him from the car, handcuffed him placed
him on the ground. That went viral. I think Tyreek
is suing or he was threatening to sue and all that.
(11:56):
And here we are again. Tyreek must be bad luck.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
It's not Tyre. I'm sure he's a great guy. It's
just bad mojo, bad mojo.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
That's got to be it, right, I'm sure it's not
just that he's an a hole and a douche.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
It's got to be that he's just got bad luck.
It's got to be. It is the Bad Maelord show.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
One thing that Tyreek Hill loves to do is send
very odd messages on social media where you have.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
To try to figure out what's going on and all
that stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So another name brand, n NFL Star, some say this
guy's headed to the Hall of Fame, is now dabbling
in cryptic messages as well.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
So what is that all about? We will try to
figure it out. We're gonna get out.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
The Malard looking Glass and we're gonna analyze it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
We've got the.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Rosetta Stone and Dakota Ring and we will try to
decide the cryptic message from an NFL star you've heard
of this guy who we're the top players in the game.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
We'll get to that. We'll take your calls. By the way,
I got a line open.
Speaker 1 (13:09):

but somebody actually, you know, somewhat educated and smart and

the soul to hear the rhythmic they.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Started before the game even started. They were fired up.

Been a lot of hot talk throughout the overnight, but

Fergdog writes in he says, have you noticed that Greg
Greg's don't seem to get how sports talk radio works?
Greg and Florida Big Greg and Iowa Greg Gumble don't

take any more calls from Greg's. Well, I definitely will
not take Greg Gumble's phone calls.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
That will not happen. But yeah, you bring up a
fair point.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Greg Gumble, a respected member of the sports media, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Hated sports radio, could not stand it.
Speaker 1 (16:45):

worked at WFN in the early days and got a
really fat check, like a.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Really really I would like one of those. Yeah, yeah,
those are good.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
No, No, the pancakes properly made pancakes. Now, the pancakes
are just generic that I'll agree with you. But if
a properly made hotcake is the way to go, it is.
Let's keep it going on the phones. It is the
Ben Mallor Show. By the way, as we were working
our way through the overnight, let's go to Gabe, who's
in the Keystone State.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
What's going on? Gabe? Welcome?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Not much, Ben, how we're doing, man, So I just
want to talk about Luca dropping forty five and we're seeing,
you know, how that trade's unfolding here. It's just pretty
incompetent on the GM's part. I'm a big conspiracy guy.
Then I love conspiracies. I don't believe them all right,
but I like to entertain the thought, right, maybe there's
(22:21):
some truth to it. I want to get your thoughts
if you have come across this that the new ownership
they're in Dallas are trying to build a casino in
the facility and they can't.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Get the.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Permission or the John a blank on the name, but
they're not allowed to get the permission for that. So
in turn, they're kind of playing hardball and saying, Okay,
we'll move to a state that will allow us to
do that. But the only way they can move to
a different state is that the team sucks.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
So what do you do to suck?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Piss off the fans, trade your best player and start tanking.
Do you think there's any validity that conspiracy there in Dallas?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
But much like yourself, Gabe, I enjoy a good conspiracy.
I like a conspiracy.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I have heard that conspiracy since the day, Like the
night of the trade. It was on a Saturday night
the trade came down and right away that was making
the rounds.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
And it is true.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
The people that bought the Mavericks are in the casino business.
They're the at Adelson family. I believe it is the name,
and they're they're mostly in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
And you're right.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I mean they made a movie, a Major League about
how you move the team. They want to move the
team to Miami. You get rid of everyone, the team sucks,
people stop showing up, You move the team. That playbook's
been around forever. The other conspiracy, Gabe is that this
was all organized by the NBA. Television ratings were terrible
for the NBA at the beginning of the year, and
they just agreed to a multi year, multi billion dollar
(23:51):
TV deal. The Lakers were kind of man blah blah
early in the year, and so this is a way
to artificially prop up to teion ratings and create some
buzz in the league. And since Luca went to the Lakers,
the TV ratings of skyrocketed, and most of those ratings
are because of the Lakers. So that's all tied together
(24:12):
that it was like, hey, you know, you know, we'll
let you buy the team or whatever. Now that's really
that's like dark, right, Gab buy the Mavericks. But you
got to do it so solid and give Luca to
the Lakers for a bag of beans and.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Anyway, magic beans, ben magic beans. Beans that get hurt.
I speaking of that, thank you, Gabe. How about this,
So there is a video clip making the rounds. We're
talking about this Maverick Laker game last night in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
So Anthony Davis allegedly ignored Lebron James after the Laker game,
but was lovey dovey with his other former teammates. Let
me repeat that, Anthony Davis suppose he gave Lebron the
(25:01):
cold shoulder after the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Win, but he did kind of snuggle up to the
other guys. Is there something there? I believe there is.
I believe there is, And there was a story. We
talked about it on the show in a previous episode
a while back.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
The first point I want to make is it was
on some dope podcast the brother of one of the
players that was traded, Markkeith Morris's brother went on a
podcast and said that Lebron James requested his brother be
part of the trade. Well, Lebron had had all along,
(25:42):
played stupid, the little Barbie doll guy.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Lebron had played dumb and was like, oh no, I
knew nothing about it. I was shocked.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Well, now it comes out, if that report is accurate,
that Lebron was aware of it and was finessing the
Mavericks to get more out of the trade and support.
He was Taco Tuesday Buddies with Anthony Davis. So he
screwed over Anthony Davis. And then I'm I'm pretty sure
Anthony Davis is aware of that, and so could it
(26:10):
be if that is why there was some tension, some
bad blood.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Between those two, inquiring minds would like to know. Yeah, uh,
let's say a little Rob.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
And by the way, we do have factor of fiction
coming up in a couple of minutes. Rob is in
the three two one. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (26:27):

But back to where. Unfortunately, April thirtieth, I have to
have another shoulder procedure.
Speaker 8 (26:46):
But let me get this out of the way.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Oh no, Now, why does that be? Is that a
follow up?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Did they mess up the first one? Or is that
something in additional work to be done?
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Well, I think a screw. I think they messed up
because I can't even lift my arm test mind literally
passed my shoulder. But I'm you know, I'm working, you know,
working the four am to twelve new shift.

then and oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll be good to go.
All right, Well, very exciting. Well we look forward to that.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I always the most important event of the summer in
sports talk radio is the Mallard Palooza.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
And you you were the big winner last year, and
so you'll be back at it again. I cannot wait.
And good luck and well thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
There's a rob very talented man and the Mallard Paloosa.
Do you remember the Mallet Palooza, Lorrena, do you recall.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
The malapal It's a talent show, right, that is well,
we called the Malapalus, but some call it a talent show.
We called the Malapalus.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
So an NFL star sending out a cryptic message, kind
of like when we talked to Mike the Leprecha and
it's Mike the leprek on there.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
Good money there he is.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
I'm going to get there for there's some weird noise.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, that was that?
Speaker 4 (28:53):
What that is?
Speaker 2 (28:55):
No, I don't know what happened.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
I'm I'm killing myself for the Mallet Palusa as well.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Oh you are, Oh my god, let me let me
guess work.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Brown, Are you gonna do like walk a walker jokes
at the Mallet Palooza.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Waka waka waka.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
No. No, I'm going to do a real song this time,
and I'll actually have it produced in the studio, so
it will be good, but it won't be well.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
You say it's gonna be good, but you don't know
it's gonna be good. You know, it's like, well, hold
on said, let me let me pay, let me pay
off his taste. So TJ. Watt of the Pittsburg Steelers.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
The injureds Now, He's got all these these terrible towel
fans up upset, he sent out a cryptic Instagram post.
A cryptic Instagram post, send it out. People trying to
figure out what it means, and he wrote in uh
on Instagram there uh heuh. He posted a photo of
(29:58):
him giving the peace sign on Instagram and people are
trying to figure out what it means. And I I
gotta tell you, I love, absolutely love the cryptic message
by the athlete because it's abstract art. It is abstract art,
and you can really just perceive it anyway you want, right.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
You just look at it and you're like, well, I
perceive this differently than you perceive it. It's open to interpretation.
And I enjoy that. I think that's great. I think
it's one.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
So it seems like a pretty benign photo of him
walking off the field with his fingers in the peace sign.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
You know TJ. Watt. But is there something there there
with with TJ Watt?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Because JJ Watt had said on some interview that he
did this week that the Steelers should have extended TJ.
Watt last year, which leads some to believe that his
brother will be causing some kind of problem.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
All right, did you do a dad joke, Lepper counter,
did we hang up on you?
Speaker 8 (31:05):
I don't know he didn't. I still here. I have
a very funny funeral story from Ireland.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Funny, a funny funeral story.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, we talked about the funeral in Pennsylvania where the
people were laying the casket down over the grave and
they the ground cave in and they all fell into
the grave.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
So yeah, go ahead, Yes, that happened.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
That happened in my family too. We lived on kind
of a country area and it's it's always raining. So yes,
the full the first Paul Baylor bearer sorry, fell into
the hole and the whole coffin fell in right on
top of him. They had to dig out the coffin
and dig out the guy who was on the knees.
So that's that's a true story. And I have a
message foot brin Scott. I'm getting him a peace sign
(31:47):

the high road and that's where it met around with
Have you seen the movie at the party. I'm sure
