forget fifth hour podcast. You should be listening to that.
Also over the weekend, we're back from Vancouver and back
here in our number four on this second day of June,
the first overnight show of the month of June. During
the weekend, Aaron Rogers has not told not told the Steelers.
(00:25):
He affirmatively that he's coming to Pittsburgh for Mike Tomlin.
Is this cause for concern? Also? How did Kyle pitch
the tight end end up finding himself on the Falcons
trading block and Odell Beckham Junior remember him? He came
out this week saying, and I quote, I never wanted
(00:48):
to leave the Giants. Is that how you see it?
We'll talk about all that and more right now here
it is our number four. Have a wonderful Monday. I
saw the sign. No, you're still waiting for the sign.
We haven't seen the sign. You're still waiting for the sign. Welcome.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show,
(01:12):
we are in the air where fellow Shareholders says, we
are connecting the dots coast to coast, border to border
and beyond on the mast and ears splittingly powerful microphones
of FSR emminating live from the game as we play
(01:36):
the Blame Game under the cover of darkness and the
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by Van the one
Legged Bama Man in this portion of the Ben Mallory Show,
made possible in part by Tirak, our friend Dupree, the
Saints fan. He's shaking and said yes, he loves Tyraq.
(01:57):
For over forty years, Tyrak has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tyre rac
dot com the way tire buying should be. Back from
a successful Canadian sojourned the Big Malor Meet and Greet
(02:19):
which took place last week finished. Everyone that showed up
in Vancouver, British Columbia had a great time, was wonderful
back at it here. Thanks to Nico for making that possible,
and we hope to do more Malor meet and greets.
I know we're into June now, so this is the
prime meet and greet season. In July, August, those are
prime months for the meet and greets. We'll keep you
(02:40):
posted on when the next one is. Nothing scheduled at
this point, but hopefully something coming up here in the
near future as we are getting started. If you want
to see some photos on the meet and greet, if
you're curious, you want to be a varyor a stoker,
there are some posted on the Instagram page of the show.
You can find that at Ben Mahlor on Fox and
the Facebook page Ben Mallard Show. That's Ben Mallershaw. I'll
(03:05):
post more photos later from my trip around. I know,
I guess my diet's not for everyone, but I enjoyed
the food I ate and so you can watch where
I went. Put some photos up later today. All right,
so our lead this hour. I saw the sign. I'm
waiting for the sign. It's all about the sign. So
our lead from the speculation machine. Another weekend has come
(03:30):
and gone. The calendar has flipped. No longer in May.
We are now into June. And you know what has
not happened yet. I thought it would happen. It was
a shot. It didn't happen though. That's right. As soon
you know, Aaron Rogers nowhere to be seen. Well, he
can be heard on the Joe Rogan podcast. But Aaron
(03:53):
Rodgers continues to twist in the wind unsigned despite continued
radio chatter that he has decided to take his talents
to Western Pennsylvania. Hasn't happened yet. Have you heard the latest?
Perhaps not so. Over the weekend, there was some more noise. Oh,
(04:14):
I love the noise. So there was some more noise
that Aaron Rodgers has not affirmatively, that's a nice word, affirmatively,
I told the Steelers that he's coming, which is another
way of saying that he hasn't told them one hundred percent,
but giving indication. So let us discuss the question that
(04:34):
latest report, breathless reporting, Aaron Rogers has not informed the
Steelers affirmatively, affirmatively the a word that he's coming. So
for Mike Tomlin, for Mike Tomlin, is this cause for concern?
So my take on this, I've got ted, Chick fil
(04:57):
A and history a major, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
some delicious pastrami sandwiches. Is what we're gonna make, all right.
So to kick off to answer the question for Mike Tomlin,
is this cause for concern? No, I am I'm shaking
(05:19):
my head. No, it is not cost for concern. Pittsburgh
knows what they're getting into. They know what they're getting into.
They're fine with this. I mean, so who can if
they If Aaron Rodgers decides he wants to retire from
football and become the face of ayahuasca and sell it,
get it legalized and all, okay, fine, But from the
(05:42):
Rooney family that owns the team all the way down,
they are for better or worse, capitulating with Aaron Rodgers
that they're fine. It's unorthodoxy. It is not Steeler. Like
my entire life, this franchise has been I don't want
the drama. And when they've had players that have had
drama like Antonio Brown or Leveon Belly generally don't last
(06:07):
all that long. But to go out and bring players
in who you know what you're getting like Aaron Rodgers,
that's odd, that's all right. And he's the guy you
look at Rogers. He's the guy that wasn't good with
the Jets, was injured the year before that with the Jets.
He's older, and the Steelers are like, all right, that's
(06:29):
what we want. Well, if we have to wait. They
used to be thinking this thing called layaway and we're like,
all right, well we'll wait, We'll just wait for it.
So the Steelers are betting on his royal ayahuascanness. Is
that even the thing to grace them with his bodily
presence and change the ways of the Pittsburgh Steelers and
(06:50):
all this stuff. Now, Rogers has yet again, if you
follow this story and why not, has yet again made
this all about the thing that Aaron Rodgers loves more
than anything else, Aaron Rodgers in a passive aggressive way.
The discount double check philosopher King is at it yet
again here and the former jet and packer and current
(07:14):
I don't know hanging out malleble guy. He has He
has turned another offseason into a personal Ted Talk where
he goes on a random podcast and everything is drama Orama.
It's all drama Orama. Every single delay, a declaration is
about to be made, et cetera. Now it is wild
(07:37):
that Mike Tomlin, who knows what he's signing up for,
that Mike Tomlin and the Rooney's are stuck. I imagine
them clicking refresh over and over and over on their phones,
like you know, teenagers trying to get tickets to a concert.
You know a certain time the tickets are going to drop,
and they keep clicking over and all while Aaron Rods
(08:00):
Rogers is at some darkness retreat or some Ayahuasca village
out in Nowhereville, just kind of hanging out the whole offseason.
It's like some kind of spiritual guru. Yet again, it's
wild and here we are. And if the Steelers do
(08:20):
not get Aaron Rodgers, they will have Mason Rudolph. And
guess what, They'll win nine games. And that's that, And
that's what they always do, no matter what, They'll win
about nine to ten games. Somewhere in that area. Now
furthermore to Atlanta we go, where we have learned how
the Falcons chatter picking up that they are looking to
(08:42):
say bye bye the tight end. Kyle Pitts, Yes, that
Kyle Pits. You might remember a couple years ago he
was all the rage in sports talk radio, the guy
that was supposed to redefine the tight end position. A
combo of Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelsey, Tony Gonzales, Shannon Sharp.
(09:06):
But he had a forty inch vertical leap. He could
do it. All he could ben Metal all this stuff.
Now what he can't do is consistently make impact plays
in the NFL. That he cannot do. All right, So
he's now on the trading block if you believe the chatter,
and they're asking for wait for it, a day two pick.
(09:28):
Now Day two is a second or third round pick
for a guy who I believe was the number four
pick and fun. So, how did tight end Kyle Pitts
end up finding himself on the Falcons trading block? How
did that happen? So this is what's known as bait
and switch. This is some classic bait and switch. What
(09:51):
happened here Atlanta? The suckers that they are, that franchise,
they bought the hype. They were all about the hype
and they're like, Oh, this guy's so good. That's what
loser franchises do, and that's what the Atlanta Falcons did.
You had some social media influencer losers who were running
around drooling. They were literally pools of drool. Oh my god,
(10:15):
Kyle Pats. He's a workout warrior, he's built like a
Donnis and they were so excited, so excited for this guy.
And while he is not bad I don't want to
say he to say he's bad. He's just not as advertised.
We've all bought products that we thought were going to
be amazing, and maybe they were okay, but they weren't
(10:35):
as good as you anticipated. It's the curse of high expectations.
And the team in Atlanta thought they were getting a unicorn.
They're like, oh man, we got a unicorn here, and
instead they ended up with a donkey that had one
of those cone birthday hats on its head, the so
called unicorn tight end of the team in Georgia who
(10:58):
was supposed to redefine the position, and Kyle Pitts has
been like a Chick fil A franchise, not open often
on Sunday. Chick fil A's never open on Sunday. Kyle
Pitts occasionally is open, but most of the time he's
not open on Sunday, just like Chick fil A. And
it's getting close to extension time, and that's really the
problem here because Kyle Pits he wants the new contract.
(11:19):
He's heading into that dreaded final year before you have
to make the decision and all that. So the Falcons
clearly don't want to pay the man so he wants
to go somewhere where you can get that big bag
of cash. All right, now, the last thing to Jersey.
We go to Jersey, we go where Odell Beckham Junior
came out this week and had a big DEGAMA. Nobody
(11:42):
asked for this, but in an interview over the weekend,
Odell Beckham Junior said, and I quote, I never ever
wanted to leave the giants close. Quote. Is that how
you see that situation? Because that's what OBJ is saying
right now. I never ever wanted to leave the giants
(12:03):
close quote. So even our a scene panel of Inka, terror,
blind Emmett and blind Scott can all see that this
is a j Scoop special. As he says, bull Pucky
is what this is, right Odell Beckham, I don't know
that he went to class much in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. However,
(12:26):
I'd imagine when he did go to class, he studied history,
and he was a history major. And anyone that studied
history knows that the most important kind of history is
revisionist history. You're never wrong. It's the best kind of history.
You're never wrong. Just reinvented, reinvent it. And on this side,
of the mike, and in this particular chair where I sit,
(12:49):
OBJ was doing everything he could to get away from
the Giants, everything he could to get away from the
dere Now you'd signed a track with the Giants. That
is true. And if you go back and look, I
keep some notes on this stuff, and you go back
and look at that time when OBJ had agreed to
an extension and he was going to hang out there
(13:12):
in the Garden State, but he got himself booted out
of it. And what is my evidence? So let's check
the receipts here on OBJ back in that time. He's
the guy who months before he was traded to the
Cleveland football team. OBJ won on national television with Little Wayne.
That's right, Little Wayne. Of all people, OBJ and littl
(13:35):
Wayne and trashed Eli Manning. Listen, I trash Eli Manning
all the time. I don't play with him. He's not
a coworker of mine. Questioned the offense, right, he was
questioning the Giants offense. He implied that he was being
held back, that Obj's strength, his superpower, was not being
tapped into because of the Giants offense and the trickle
(13:58):
down Eli man So what exactly did you think was
going to happen, Odell, it's a kin to having a
gas leak and you're in the locker room and then
you light a match as the gas is leaking, and
you act surprised when it goes cop boom and it
(14:23):
burns down. But wait, there's more. Oh no, no, there's
more than this. So the giants gave Beckham that big extension.
I think it was like nineties five or something million.
It was like five years nineties plus million or whatever
it was. That's not important. But what did he do
to thank them? That's the fun part. He put on
a thespian performance OBJ at that time, fit for Broadway,
(14:46):
not off Broadway. Broadway. You know, the only difference between
Broadway and off Broadway is the amount of seats in
the theater. Somebody told me that years ago, that it
doesn't really matter. It's just how many seats you have.
If you have a certain amount, you're on Broadway, and
if you have less than that, you're off Broadway. That's
all it means anyway, So not on Broadway, Odell Beckham,
(15:08):
and he caused all kinds of drama that the GM
Dave Gettleman, that sounds like he fixes refrigerators. He had
no choice but to say bye bye. I gotta get
rid of this guy and all this stuff now outside
of a couple of sparkles with the Rams, and he
did play well because you can ram it all day,
you can ram it all night. Ever since he took
(15:28):
off the Giants uniform, Odell Beckham has been what he's
been a jag, not a Jacksonville jag, just a guy.
He's been just a guy. He's been a football nomad
bouncing around the NFL, and he has never been close
to the same guy he was in twenty fourteen ish,
right around that time. And now that he has the
(15:52):
opportunity to look back, now it's like, well, now he's
lovey dovey. He's like, oh, he's romanticizing his time with
the Giant. Said how great it was. He never wanted
to leave, and oh man, it was magical. And it's
like when I was in elementary school and I really
loved the playground. Was in like first grade. I loved
going out of the playground, but I had to move on.
(16:15):
I had to grow up, and so I couldn't hang
out on the playground all the time, and so it sucked.
But Yeah, classic Odell, classic Odell Beckham. It's all about
the narrative. It's all about repositioning, changing the history and
all that stuff and the image, and it's all the
good times there the one handed catch which, oh, by
(16:35):
the way, the Giants lost that game to the Cowboys,
So Sunday Night game I believe lost that game the
Pro Bowls. Who cares about that? That game didn't even
exist anymore. It's now they play tiktac toe the Pro Bowl.
That's gone. The highlight catches. My favorite Odell Beckham memories
with the Giants is the boat trip. I thought that
was fun right before the playoffs. Just get a little
(16:56):
boat trip out there and go out and get her
face smashed in by the Green Bay Pass. That was good.
The sideline tantrums, Now, I don't know what your favorite
sideline tantrum from OBJ with the Giants was. Mine was
when he headbudded the kicking net and somehow lost a
matchup with an inadamant object. Remember that. Remember he got
(17:17):
into it the kicking net and it didn't go so well. Yeah,
I don't know how that's possible. He did it. He
ended up getting kot If you will by a kicking net,
not a player, not a player, a kicking net. So
keep rewriding things. And there's always people that are low
information fans that forget all that stuff and they're like, oh, yeah,
(17:38):
that's how it went.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
We won't even get into his time in Cleveland when
he deputized his father to get out of Cleveland because
he couldn't stand Baker Mayfield. So he had his old
man post a bunch of stuff on social media ripping
Baker Mayfield to take a crowbar to get out of Ohio.
So there that's the Odell Beck story in a nutshell.

All right, let's say a lot to Dick and Dayton.
Hello Dick, Welcome morning, morning time, the legend the Dixters
ready to well dance the day away.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
We know one thing. I think heads are going to
row in Cincinnati. This is not a good start for
them with that. Terry Francona from the Guardigans and boy
oh boy, the fans have been nasty on the radio,
Oh geez, it's just so who should.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Lose their job? You're a Francona guy. I thought you
liked fran.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Con I did, But it's just the Reds the pitching day,
they're just they they get a lead in the eighth
or ninth and they lose and then it's just I
don't know, they're going to have to do something because
you know, the people are kind of angry up there.
They want Castellini out and oil boy. Then that's a
that's a terriful thing.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
So, just for the record, you are the Ohio sports ambassador.
Are you calling for Francona to lose his job? No,
you're not, But you what about like the hitting coach?
Speaker 7 (23:55):
No?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I just think they have to have a good July.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Because if you're about June, can they have a good June?
Speaker 5 (24:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I mean yeah, yeah, I know you met that. Yeah, absolutely,
I got you. More important, how's the music going? Everything

a big gone A twenty sixteen. I think that for Dodge.

We're always listening to the old rock and roll down
there with Jim La Barbara, the oldest show.

There were no cowboys at the Mermaid. There was no
no one said no. One said that.

Is what kind of measure you want here, James? Thirty
six pills in the morning, thirty six pills at Hey,

sing that for you to have the song played. I'm
just saying that you sound a little vibrant. You sound
a little peppy, full of energy here. It's no odd
time to be full of energy.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I sided a few red balls.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
When you say a few, is that like a six pack?
What are we looking at?

forty eight.

(27:49):
the stars. Danny DeVito, mister.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Mel I'll welcome back to you three.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
If I was any better, I'd be back in Vancouver,
But no, I'm here hanging with you.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
There you are, Blve funny guy. Huh, I've fallen down
seventy flights. I think he met seventy five stairs. In general,
I love blind go Off, but that was I was
laughing over about.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Let me let me check hold on sec Yeah, Blesscott,
would you like to clarify that it was seventy something
steps and not flights.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
You know where Park Street is by Winchard Street, The
entrance is spread of Saint Francis Church where all the
bump stands. My dog brought me to that and was
seventy one concrete stairs.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Okay, so that's kind. So he did clarify, Danny, that's
seventy one concrete stairs, is what he said.
Speaker 7 (28:38):
Seventy one concrete Yeah, say one flight. So obviously that
was a mess up on his podcast. Yeah yeah, seven,
but that's still a long fault.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Then he's not gonna do.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
I don't know how old he is. I think he's
an older guy. I think he's in shape, though I
hear him running along the treadmill.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Everyone's in shape. Round is a shape, So everyone's in shape.
You know, it's all good shape, good shops in good shape.
I wouldn't say good shape, you know shape.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
He takes care of himself.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
All right, I don't mind going back to him again.
I I don't think that's the case. I don't know
about that.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
You don't have to.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
I want to talk to you about a bet I
made last week.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Okay, there we go, let's get down. That's what men do.
Let's talk some gambling. What do we got?
Speaker 7 (29:20):
I called up that character Brian. No, he seems like
he's a good dude. I think he's uh. I think
he's from Miami or something like that. But I place
the bet on with my friend. They a thousand dollars
that the take ships are going to have more winds
than the Miami Dolphins. You got to opinion on that bet.
Am I gonna win that?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
To lose that in your eyes, well, all you need
is one two, a tongue of I lower injury and
then boom, you're golden on that. And he is an
injury risk. It's closer than most people would say because
the Dolphins they're they're going the wrong direction. If you
if you look at like the then the ven diagram,
(30:02):
you've got the Patriots who are on the on the
uptick and then the Dolphins are going the wrong direction.
So it's close I'd still say that Dolphins should win
more than the Patriots, and but but it's close, and
it's not a terrible beat because you know, the Patriots,
they get they get cooking early. They got a really
terrible schedule in terms of playing crappy teams.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
Exactly right schedule. It's definitely hop factor in that. But
I play staff. That's before that Bets receiver was out blown.
So for with a couple of girls. I didn't know
this then. I never did the drugs. I'm not in
any drugs life like that, but I didn't realize how
many women actually screw around low trust. I mean, I
know guys do it too, but women involved with those
(30:45):
drugs a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
You know that, right well, I think it's it's a
party situation. I mean, they're all look like they were
all having a good time. They were all in the boat.
He's talking about the boat video. There's Stefan Diggs and
the girls and all that.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
Exactly is he gonna be a out of that team
and a couple of months, Ben, it's he's gonna be
caught or he's staying with his team.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
It's not looking good for Stefan Digs right now. He
can't play anyways.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Hurt.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
He won't be able to play the beginning the year anyway.
So if you yeah talked about the un Yeah, he's
gonna be a problem. Just get rid of them right now.
I'm sure.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
Then I got it exactly and I got a fuse
bet for your Ben. I got the Atlanta Fealcon going
to the super Bowl. I know he just trashing them
about an hour ago, but I did quarterback. I like
the quarterback. I like the overall deal.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
You can like the quarterback and if you play the
video game enough, they will get to the super Bowl.
But that's about it, all right, thank you? All right,
I gotta go go away, all right. That's how I
go to Cowboy John Brady Canadian legend. Now I feel

forget fifth hour podcast. You should be listening to that.
Also over the weekend, we're back from Vancouver and back
here in our number four on this second day of June,
the first overnight show of the month of June. During
the weekend, Aaron Rogers has not told not told the Steelers.
(00:25):
He affirmatively that he's coming to Pittsburgh for Mike Tomlin.
Is this cause for concern? Also? How did Kyle pitch
the tight end end up finding himself on the Falcons
trading block and Odell Beckham Junior remember him? He came
out this week saying, and I quote, I never wanted
(00:48):
to leave the Giants. Is that how you see it?
We'll talk about all that and more right now here
it is our number four. Have a wonderful Monday. I
saw the sign. No, you're still waiting for the sign.
We haven't seen the sign. You're still waiting for the sign. Welcome.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show,
(01:12):
we are in the air where fellow Shareholders says, we
are connecting the dots coast to coast, border to border
and beyond on the mast and ears splittingly powerful microphones
of FSR emminating live from the game as we play
(01:36):
the Blame Game under the cover of darkness and the
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by Van the one
Legged Bama Man in this portion of the Ben Mallory Show,
made possible in part by Tirak, our friend Dupree, the
Saints fan. He's shaking and said yes, he loves Tyraq.
(01:57):
For over forty years, Tyrak has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tyre rac
dot com the way tire buying should be. Back from
a successful Canadian sojourned the Big Malor Meet and Greet
(02:19):
which took place last week finished. Everyone that showed up
in Vancouver, British Columbia had a great time, was wonderful
back at it here. Thanks to Nico for making that possible,
and we hope to do more Malor meet and greets.
I know we're into June now, so this is the
prime meet and greet season. In July, August, those are
prime months for the meet and greets. We'll keep you
(02:40):
posted on when the next one is. Nothing scheduled at
this point, but hopefully something coming up here in the
near future as we are getting started. If you want
to see some photos on the meet and greet, if
you're curious, you want to be a varyor a stoker,
there are some posted on the Instagram page of the show.
You can find that at Ben Mahlor on Fox and
the Facebook page Ben Mallard Show. That's Ben Mallershaw. I'll
(03:05):
post more photos later from my trip around. I know,
I guess my diet's not for everyone, but I enjoyed
the food I ate and so you can watch where
I went. Put some photos up later today. All right,
so our lead this hour. I saw the sign. I'm
waiting for the sign. It's all about the sign. So
our lead from the speculation machine. Another weekend has come
(03:30):
and gone. The calendar has flipped. No longer in May.
We are now into June. And you know what has
not happened yet. I thought it would happen. It was
a shot. It didn't happen though. That's right. As soon
you know, Aaron Rogers nowhere to be seen. Well, he
can be heard on the Joe Rogan podcast. But Aaron
(03:53):
Rodgers continues to twist in the wind unsigned despite continued
radio chatter that he has decided to take his talents
to Western Pennsylvania. Hasn't happened yet. Have you heard the latest?
Perhaps not so. Over the weekend, there was some more noise. Oh,
(04:14):
I love the noise. So there was some more noise
that Aaron Rodgers has not affirmatively, that's a nice word, affirmatively,
I told the Steelers that he's coming, which is another
way of saying that he hasn't told them one hundred percent,
but giving indication. So let us discuss the question that
(04:34):
latest report, breathless reporting, Aaron Rogers has not informed the
Steelers affirmatively, affirmatively the a word that he's coming. So
for Mike Tomlin, for Mike Tomlin, is this cause for concern?
So my take on this, I've got ted, Chick fil
(04:57):
A and history a major, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
some delicious pastrami sandwiches. Is what we're gonna make, all right.
So to kick off to answer the question for Mike Tomlin,
is this cause for concern? No, I am I'm shaking
(05:19):
my head. No, it is not cost for concern. Pittsburgh
knows what they're getting into. They know what they're getting into.
They're fine with this. I mean, so who can if
they If Aaron Rodgers decides he wants to retire from
football and become the face of ayahuasca and sell it,
get it legalized and all, okay, fine, But from the
(05:42):
Rooney family that owns the team all the way down,
they are for better or worse, capitulating with Aaron Rodgers
that they're fine. It's unorthodoxy. It is not Steeler. Like
my entire life, this franchise has been I don't want
the drama. And when they've had players that have had
drama like Antonio Brown or Leveon Belly generally don't last
(06:07):
all that long. But to go out and bring players
in who you know what you're getting like Aaron Rodgers,
that's odd, that's all right. And he's the guy you
look at Rogers. He's the guy that wasn't good with
the Jets, was injured the year before that with the Jets.
He's older, and the Steelers are like, all right, that's
(06:29):
what we want. Well, if we have to wait. They
used to be thinking this thing called layaway and we're like,
all right, well we'll wait, We'll just wait for it.
So the Steelers are betting on his royal ayahuascanness. Is
that even the thing to grace them with his bodily
presence and change the ways of the Pittsburgh Steelers and
(06:50):
all this stuff. Now, Rogers has yet again, if you
follow this story and why not, has yet again made
this all about the thing that Aaron Rodgers loves more
than anything else, Aaron Rodgers in a passive aggressive way.
The discount double check philosopher King is at it yet
again here and the former jet and packer and current
(07:14):
I don't know hanging out malleble guy. He has He
has turned another offseason into a personal Ted Talk where
he goes on a random podcast and everything is drama Orama.
It's all drama Orama. Every single delay, a declaration is
about to be made, et cetera. Now it is wild
(07:37):
that Mike Tomlin, who knows what he's signing up for,
that Mike Tomlin and the Rooney's are stuck. I imagine
them clicking refresh over and over and over on their phones,
like you know, teenagers trying to get tickets to a concert.
You know a certain time the tickets are going to drop,
and they keep clicking over and all while Aaron Rods
(08:00):
Rogers is at some darkness retreat or some Ayahuasca village
out in Nowhereville, just kind of hanging out the whole offseason.
It's like some kind of spiritual guru. Yet again, it's
wild and here we are. And if the Steelers do
(08:20):
not get Aaron Rodgers, they will have Mason Rudolph. And
guess what, They'll win nine games. And that's that, And
that's what they always do, no matter what, They'll win
about nine to ten games. Somewhere in that area. Now
furthermore to Atlanta we go, where we have learned how
the Falcons chatter picking up that they are looking to
(08:42):
say bye bye the tight end. Kyle Pitts, Yes, that
Kyle Pits. You might remember a couple years ago he
was all the rage in sports talk radio, the guy
that was supposed to redefine the tight end position. A
combo of Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelsey, Tony Gonzales, Shannon Sharp.
(09:06):
But he had a forty inch vertical leap. He could
do it. All he could ben Metal all this stuff.
Now what he can't do is consistently make impact plays
in the NFL. That he cannot do. All right, So
he's now on the trading block if you believe the chatter,
and they're asking for wait for it, a day two pick.
(09:28):
Now Day two is a second or third round pick
for a guy who I believe was the number four
pick and fun. So, how did tight end Kyle Pitts
end up finding himself on the Falcons trading block? How
did that happen? So this is what's known as bait
and switch. This is some classic bait and switch. What
(09:51):
happened here Atlanta? The suckers that they are, that franchise,
they bought the hype. They were all about the hype
and they're like, Oh, this guy's so good. That's what
loser franchises do, and that's what the Atlanta Falcons did.
You had some social media influencer losers who were running
around drooling. They were literally pools of drool. Oh my god,
(10:15):
Kyle Pats. He's a workout warrior, he's built like a
Donnis and they were so excited, so excited for this guy.
And while he is not bad I don't want to
say he to say he's bad. He's just not as advertised.
We've all bought products that we thought were going to
be amazing, and maybe they were okay, but they weren't
(10:35):
as good as you anticipated. It's the curse of high expectations.
And the team in Atlanta thought they were getting a unicorn.
They're like, oh man, we got a unicorn here, and
instead they ended up with a donkey that had one
of those cone birthday hats on its head, the so
called unicorn tight end of the team in Georgia who
(10:58):
was supposed to redefine the position, and Kyle Pitts has
been like a Chick fil A franchise, not open often
on Sunday. Chick fil A's never open on Sunday. Kyle
Pitts occasionally is open, but most of the time he's
not open on Sunday, just like Chick fil A. And
it's getting close to extension time, and that's really the
problem here because Kyle Pits he wants the new contract.
(11:19):
He's heading into that dreaded final year before you have
to make the decision and all that. So the Falcons
clearly don't want to pay the man so he wants
to go somewhere where you can get that big bag
of cash. All right, now, the last thing to Jersey.
We go to Jersey, we go where Odell Beckham Junior
came out this week and had a big DEGAMA. Nobody
(11:42):
asked for this, but in an interview over the weekend,
Odell Beckham Junior said, and I quote, I never ever
wanted to leave the giants close. Quote. Is that how
you see that situation? Because that's what OBJ is saying
right now. I never ever wanted to leave the giants
(12:03):
close quote. So even our a scene panel of Inka, terror,
blind Emmett and blind Scott can all see that this
is a j Scoop special. As he says, bull Pucky
is what this is, right Odell Beckham, I don't know
that he went to class much in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. However,
(12:26):
I'd imagine when he did go to class, he studied history,
and he was a history major. And anyone that studied
history knows that the most important kind of history is
revisionist history. You're never wrong. It's the best kind of history.
You're never wrong. Just reinvented, reinvent it. And on this side,
of the mike, and in this particular chair where I sit,
(12:49):
OBJ was doing everything he could to get away from
the Giants, everything he could to get away from the
dere Now you'd signed a track with the Giants. That
is true. And if you go back and look, I
keep some notes on this stuff, and you go back
and look at that time when OBJ had agreed to
an extension and he was going to hang out there
(13:12):
in the Garden State, but he got himself booted out
of it. And what is my evidence? So let's check
the receipts here on OBJ back in that time. He's
the guy who months before he was traded to the
Cleveland football team. OBJ won on national television with Little Wayne.
That's right, Little Wayne. Of all people, OBJ and littl
(13:35):
Wayne and trashed Eli Manning. Listen, I trash Eli Manning
all the time. I don't play with him. He's not
a coworker of mine. Questioned the offense, right, he was
questioning the Giants offense. He implied that he was being
held back, that Obj's strength, his superpower, was not being
tapped into because of the Giants offense and the trickle
(13:58):
down Eli man So what exactly did you think was
going to happen, Odell, it's a kin to having a
gas leak and you're in the locker room and then
you light a match as the gas is leaking, and
you act surprised when it goes cop boom and it
(14:23):
burns down. But wait, there's more. Oh no, no, there's
more than this. So the giants gave Beckham that big extension.
I think it was like nineties five or something million.
It was like five years nineties plus million or whatever
it was. That's not important. But what did he do
to thank them? That's the fun part. He put on
a thespian performance OBJ at that time, fit for Broadway,
(14:46):
not off Broadway. Broadway. You know, the only difference between
Broadway and off Broadway is the amount of seats in
the theater. Somebody told me that years ago, that it
doesn't really matter. It's just how many seats you have.
If you have a certain amount, you're on Broadway, and
if you have less than that, you're off Broadway. That's
all it means anyway, So not on Broadway, Odell Beckham,
(15:08):
and he caused all kinds of drama that the GM
Dave Gettleman, that sounds like he fixes refrigerators. He had
no choice but to say bye bye. I gotta get
rid of this guy and all this stuff now outside
of a couple of sparkles with the Rams, and he
did play well because you can ram it all day,
you can ram it all night. Ever since he took
(15:28):
off the Giants uniform, Odell Beckham has been what he's
been a jag, not a Jacksonville jag, just a guy.
He's been just a guy. He's been a football nomad
bouncing around the NFL, and he has never been close
to the same guy he was in twenty fourteen ish,
right around that time. And now that he has the
(15:52):
opportunity to look back, now it's like, well, now he's
lovey dovey. He's like, oh, he's romanticizing his time with
the Giant. Said how great it was. He never wanted
to leave, and oh man, it was magical. And it's
like when I was in elementary school and I really
loved the playground. Was in like first grade. I loved
going out of the playground, but I had to move on.
(16:15):
I had to grow up, and so I couldn't hang
out on the playground all the time, and so it sucked.
But Yeah, classic Odell, classic Odell Beckham. It's all about
the narrative. It's all about repositioning, changing the history and
all that stuff and the image, and it's all the
good times there the one handed catch which, oh, by
(16:35):
the way, the Giants lost that game to the Cowboys,
So Sunday Night game I believe lost that game the
Pro Bowls. Who cares about that? That game didn't even
exist anymore. It's now they play tiktac toe the Pro Bowl.
That's gone. The highlight catches. My favorite Odell Beckham memories
with the Giants is the boat trip. I thought that
was fun right before the playoffs. Just get a little
(16:56):
boat trip out there and go out and get her
face smashed in by the Green Bay Pass. That was good.
The sideline tantrums, Now, I don't know what your favorite
sideline tantrum from OBJ with the Giants was. Mine was
when he headbudded the kicking net and somehow lost a
matchup with an inadamant object. Remember that. Remember he got
(17:17):
into it the kicking net and it didn't go so well. Yeah,
I don't know how that's possible. He did it. He
ended up getting kot If you will by a kicking net,
not a player, not a player, a kicking net. So
keep rewriding things. And there's always people that are low
information fans that forget all that stuff and they're like, oh, yeah,
(17:38):
that's how it went.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
We won't even get into his time in Cleveland when
he deputized his father to get out of Cleveland because
he couldn't stand Baker Mayfield. So he had his old
man post a bunch of stuff on social media ripping
Baker Mayfield to take a crowbar to get out of Ohio.
So there that's the Odell Beck story in a nutshell.

Hello Dick, Welcome morning, morning time, the legend the Dixters
ready to well dance the day away.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
We know one thing. I think heads are going to
row in Cincinnati. This is not a good start for
them with that. Terry Francona from the Guardigans and boy
oh boy, the fans have been nasty on the radio,
Oh geez, it's just so who should.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Lose their job? You're a Francona guy. I thought you
liked fran.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Con I did, But it's just the Reds the pitching day,
they're just they they get a lead in the eighth
or ninth and they lose and then it's just I
don't know, they're going to have to do something because
you know, the people are kind of angry up there.
They want Castellini out and oil boy. Then that's a
that's a terriful thing.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
So, just for the record, you are the Ohio sports ambassador.
Are you calling for Francona to lose his job? No,
you're not, But you what about like the hitting coach?
Speaker 7 (23:55):
No?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I just think they have to have a good July.

Speaker 5 (24:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:02):

There were no cowboys at the Mermaid. There was no

Speaker 3 (27:54):
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
If I was any better, I'd be back in Vancouver,
But no, I'm here hanging with you.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
There you are, Blve funny guy. Huh, I've fallen down
seventy flights. I think he met seventy five stairs. In general,
I love blind go Off, but that was I was
laughing over about.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Let me let me check hold on sec Yeah, Blesscott,
would you like to clarify that it was seventy something
steps and not flights.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
You know where Park Street is by Winchard Street, The
entrance is spread of Saint Francis Church where all the
bump stands. My dog brought me to that and was
seventy one concrete stairs.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Okay, so that's kind. So he did clarify, Danny, that's
seventy one concrete stairs, is what he said.
Speaker 7 (28:38):
Seventy one concrete Yeah, say one flight. So obviously that
was a mess up on his podcast. Yeah yeah, seven,
but that's still a long fault.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Then he's not gonna do.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
I don't know how old he is. I think he's
an older guy. I think he's in shape, though I
hear him running along the treadmill.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Everyone's in shape. Round is a shape, So everyone's in shape.
You know, it's all good shape, good shops in good shape.
I wouldn't say good shape, you know shape.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
He takes care of himself.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
All right, I don't mind going back to him again.
I I don't think that's the case. I don't know
about that.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
You don't have to.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
I want to talk to you about a bet I
made last week.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Okay, there we go, let's get down. That's what men do.
Let's talk some gambling. What do we got?
Speaker 7 (29:20):
I called up that character Brian. No, he seems like
he's a good dude. I think he's uh. I think
he's from Miami or something like that. But I place
the bet on with my friend. They a thousand dollars
that the take ships are going to have more winds
than the Miami Dolphins. You got to opinion on that bet.
Am I gonna win that?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
To lose that in your eyes, well, all you need
is one two, a tongue of I lower injury and
then boom, you're golden on that. And he is an
injury risk. It's closer than most people would say because
the Dolphins they're they're going the wrong direction. If you
if you look at like the then the ven diagram,
(30:02):
you've got the Patriots who are on the on the
uptick and then the Dolphins are going the wrong direction.
So it's close I'd still say that Dolphins should win
more than the Patriots, and but but it's close, and
it's not a terrible beat because you know, the Patriots,
they get they get cooking early. They got a really
terrible schedule in terms of playing crappy teams.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
Exactly right schedule. It's definitely hop factor in that. But
I play staff. That's before that Bets receiver was out blown.
So for with a couple of girls. I didn't know
this then. I never did the drugs. I'm not in
any drugs life like that, but I didn't realize how
many women actually screw around low trust. I mean, I
know guys do it too, but women involved with those
(30:45):
drugs a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
You know that, right well, I think it's it's a
party situation. I mean, they're all look like they were
all having a good time. They were all in the boat.
He's talking about the boat video. There's Stefan Diggs and
the girls and all that.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
Exactly is he gonna be a out of that team
and a couple of months, Ben, it's he's gonna be
caught or he's staying with his team.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
It's not looking good for Stefan Digs right now. He
can't play anyways.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Hurt.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
He won't be able to play the beginning the year anyway.
So if you yeah talked about the un Yeah, he's
gonna be a problem. Just get rid of them right now.
I'm sure.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
Then I got it exactly and I got a fuse
bet for your Ben. I got the Atlanta Fealcon going
to the super Bowl. I know he just trashing them
about an hour ago, but I did quarterback. I like
the quarterback. I like the overall deal.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
You can like the quarterback and if you play the
video game enough, they will get to the super Bowl.
But that's about it, all right, thank you? All right,
I gotta go go away, all right. That's how I
go to Cowboy John Brady Canadian legend. Now I feel
like I've bonded with Cowboy because I spent the weekend
