Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our dumb fall hour four out
the door and in your ear drums here on the
Ben Maler Show podcast from the overnight. We recorded this
while most people were sleeping. You were probably sleeping when
we were doing this. So do you believe the Aaron
Rodgers rumor of the day that he rejected a trade.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
To New England that he preferred to play for the Jets?

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Also NFL related, what grade would you give DeAndre Hopkins
free agency tour?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
How's that going not so good?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
And how would you classify running back JK. Dobbins who
is not practicing because he's demanding the Ravens give him
a new contract even though he's missed about half the
games with injury and he's still on his rookie contract.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
We'll talk about all that.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Don't forget the Fifth Hour podcast up all weekend. If
you don't like today's podcast of the Fifth Hour, we'll
have a new podcast on Saturday. If you think the
Saturday podcast sucks, we'll have the Mailbag on Sunday. So
we'll have new original audio content all weekend on the
Fifth Hour podcast. But right now here, it is our
number four of the Ben Malors shall have a wonderful weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Thank you for downloading, Thank you for listening to this.
Here we go our four.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
A trip to mister Rogers neighborhood. But it's not about
the Jets, or is it about the Jets? Stay tuned,
welmeme and not. Beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere giving sports

(01:44):
takes you can't live without unless you live without them
all the time. Coast, port of the border and beyond
on the mast and abundantly powerful microphones of fsr AMM
nating live from the house, the doghouse of the broadcasting business.
We are broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Will help you get there an unmatched election, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in
starllars tyrack dot com, the way tire buying, shurete and
so our headline this hour, We're gonna go to football.
Why because that pays the bills, all right? So anyway,

(02:31):
even in June, a lot of football. We had good,
good week, good week for football. We had Stefan Diggs
have a conniption fit in Buffalo, and now we've got
DeAndre Hopkins. We'll talk about that, he's bouncing around the NFL,
but we start with Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rogers. Yeah, some goodies, Speculation, gossip,

(02:55):
the things that are the foundation of much of what
we do. So here's the If you don't know where
I'm going with this, maybe not. There was a story
bouncing around that said New England made a play to
get the four time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers from Green Bay. However, however,

(03:21):
Aaron Rodgers had other ideas. Now, Craig Carton, who just
got paid a gazillion dollars to do television and leave radio.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
He spilled the tate. He spilled the tea here.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
He claimed on his FS one show that mister Rogers
turned down the Patriots because of his desire to play
in the big app We know the Patriots have been
treading water in the kiddie pool of the NFL since
Tom Brady went to the Fountain of Youth with Ponstellone

(03:53):
in Tampa. And since then, the Patriots have played fifty
regular season games, and they have won as many as
they have lost, and their offense is vanilla twenty three
points per game. They are not one of the exciting
teams in the NFL anymore.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
They still have.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Bill Belichick and that's great, but they are just blah,
the Patriots.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
So let us discuss the question.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Do you believe that Aaron Rodgers rejected a trade to
New England. That's the question. Now, I am a non believer.
I'm a heathen when it comes to this story. I've
got sketch pad, Guy Fieri, and travel agent, and we'll

(04:42):
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make another nine and eight type of season, or
even worse, eight and nine.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
I would make it that kind of year for the Patriots.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
So to kick off here, I love the story.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's good, it's great to kick around. It's a nice, juicy,
lucy type of story.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Aaron Rodgers refusing to play for the Patriots, rejecting the
great Bill Belichick, turning down the chance to play for
a team that was the last dynasty in the NFL. Well,
Kansas City's becoming a dynasty now, but nonetheless saying no,
I don't want to play. I want to play there,
picking a team coached instead of by Bill Belichick, by

(05:27):
a motivational speaker if Tony Robbins was a head coach,
he would be Robert Salad, the clown plane of the NFL.
So is it fact or fiction? I'm not on board
on this. I'm at the airport eating some cheetos.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
It's puffery. I don't buy it. Now, here's my theory.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
I have an alternative theory that I would like to
share with you, and I want to see if you
agree with me or not on this. So here's the
way I see this. Now, I'm not going to totally
dismiss Craig Carton, but here's the way I see it.
Aaron Rodgers got a text and there were possibilities, and
he went down.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
He looked at.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
The sketch pad because he had him all written down
on a sketchback and the different scenarios. And typically what
happens is these type of deals are done through intermediaries.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Like hey, Aaron, how would you like to play for
the Patsies? You know, hypothetically?

Speaker 1 (06:23):
And then Rogers looks at the guy and says, well,
you know, I'm gonna smirk a little bit at you.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
You're a surrogate.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
I'm gonna smirk at you, and I'm gonna shrug my
shoulders and shrug my shoulders.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
And eh, I I don't think so, I don't think
I want to play there.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
These are the kind of things that make for good
fables depending on how this all plays out. If Rogers
should go to the Jets and have a rebirth, a
resurrection after a bad year last year, If Rogers comes
back and plays great for New York, then this becomes
a psalm story for the Patriots. Now, If the opposite happens, okay,

(07:05):
and if Aaron Rodgers drives the barth bus with the Jets,
then hey, the Patriots dodged a falling star. So turning
the dial from that, we head now to free agency
land in the NFL. Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins visited the

(07:25):
Patriots on Wednesday and Thursday, So I guess we'll stay
in New England. Did they agree to a contract? No, no,
we were told. DeAndre Hopkins, if the reports are true,
left the Patriots facility. He did send out some nice
photos of friends of his. Jeff Judin, who plays for

(07:48):
the Patriots, big fan of his. So Hopkins, according to
what we're being told now, is expected to take some
time to assess his options. So how do you category
how do you categorize DeAndre Hopkins Free agency Tour? So
I am going to categorize DeAndre Hopkins free agent sojourn.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Guy fi airy like, Guy fiereri like.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
And here's why this is becoming an episode of Diners,
Drive Ins and Dives. Because Hopkins he goes and has
Nashville Hot chicken and some fried catfish with the Titans,
hangs out with Mike.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Rabel and they talking on it.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
He then travels and samples some clam chowder and some
lobster rolls with the Patriots and he's he's inside, He's
in the kitchen, he's talking to the chef inside the kitchen.
And in my in my head, and I keep going
back to that cartoon bubble, but I in my head,
I have this image of DeAndre Hopkins like he leaves

(08:57):
the Patriots facility. Okay, he puts on his sunglass. Is
he hops in his nineteen sixty h Chevy Camaro convertible
which is red, and hits the road and I'm out
of here.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I see you later. That's all.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
And this was all a nothing burger, all enoughing burger,
which you can get at Diners, Drive Ins and Dives.
They have nothing burgers on there. But it's like a
nice summer vacation.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
That's June. The weather's pretty good, all inclusive. Everything's paid for.
Go hang out, schmooze, talk some ball. But two things
are clear. There are two things clear when it comes
to DeAndre Hopkins.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
The first thing is that Hopkins ain't getting what Hopkins wants.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Right.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
If he was getting what he wants, if the Titans
offered him the contract he wanted to the Patriots, he
would have signed.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
He didn't.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
The second thing that is crystal clear is that the
good teams Buffalo and Kansas City have ghosted him. Right now,
we'll text you, we'll call you. Don't call us. It's
not you, it's us. So you do the arithmetic. The

(10:07):
Malormath and the DeAndre Hopkins is going to have to
wait for somebody to inevitably break a leg or tear
up the ligaments in their knee or their ankle, or
broken toe or any other ailment, and then all of
a sudden he moves back up the totem pole.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
And then teams will.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Start begging, and they'll get horny to get a new
wide receiver, and they'll say, who's the guy, DeAndre happens.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
So now we move ahead.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Now we move ahead in the broadcast, the final stop
on this NFL journey, we add another sour puss running back.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
It has been the story of the week.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
One day, it's Sakwon Barkley, Dalvin Cook the next and
the Colt's running back all upset mister Taylor.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
But now we head to Baltimore.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
The home of Sports with Coleman. Friend of the show
Ravens running back JK. Dobbins, who you don't know who JK.
Dobbins is, bad job about you? So he skipped You're
not a good Ravens fan, So he skipped voluntary workouts
this offseason, said I'm not gollant, but they're voluntar. He
then has gone a wall by not participating in a

(11:28):
mandatory you better show up mandatory mini camp this week.
Now the word is that Dobbins was actually at the
team facility. But I'm not playing until I get mine, bro.
That was his attitude. He was quoting an old pitcher
and so he didn't take the field. And he has
since revealed I know you're dying to know this as

(11:51):
you're either working or getting ready to go to work
or on your way to work. I know that you
love hearing about this. So Dobbins revealed that the reason
he set out is because he's at loggerheads with the
Ravens and he would like a nice new contract with
a lot more dead presidents in the contract. Dobbins is

(12:12):
heading into the last year of his rookie deal. So
how would you classify JK. Dobbins not not practicing because
he wants Ravens Ravens to open the brinks truck and
pour money on top of his head and make it rain.

(12:33):
So looking at my game board on this one, and
I've got my.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Dakota ring to figure this out.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
So this is a brazen approach, is the way I
would describe it. Because Dobbins will he's had some good
numbers and if you play fantasy football, you might have
gotten lucky one weekend you picked him on the right weekend.
But Dobbins is not a household name, and he's been
good when he played. But he's got a spotty resume.

(13:03):
I'll give you this much. Though he's not.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Lacking in the confidence category. This guy.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
He thinks, Hey, the Ravens they paid Lamar Jackson, They're
gonna pay my ass as well. That's the way it works.
All I have to do is not practice. They're gonna
pay me, just like they paid Lamar Jackson. They'll cave
in those cowards with the Ravens.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
So JK.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Dobbins, he must be a travel agent in his spare time.
And here's why, because he is going on a really
nice trip right now. It's a really cool ego trip,
is what he's doing. Because he's a part time guy.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
For the most part.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
He suffered in a torn acl LCL snap goes the meniscus,
pop goes the hamstring during his NFL career.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
But other than that, other than that, we're all good.
We're all good. It isn't Ben Malers show.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
If you missed any of this monologue or any of
the other monologues, we had a great beginning of the
We ranted about Rob Manford, who took a sarcastic cheap
shot at the Oakland fans.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
What kind of commissioner is that?

Speaker 1 (14:07):
It's amazing he is such a peanut head, Rob Manford,
such a dufus this Mama Luke unreal, And we ranted
about that, so you can hear that. And also we
had a port card of the Denver Nuggets. They had
their championship parade yesterday in Colorado. And Tonio Brown, in

(14:27):
the span of a couple months, has caused an Arena
Football League team to be vaporized. He has been kicked out, excommunicated,
and he owns the team we ranted about that.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
All of this stuff.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Will be available on demand shortly after we get done,
later this hour or after this hour, i should say.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Marcelo Zuna.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
He's a outfielder for the Atlanta Braves. He's upset some
people on social media. Do you see what he posted? Eddie,
I sure didn't. No, I can't believe you don't follow
Marcelo Zuna. So on Instagram he reported that his family
horse had died and then posted video of the dead
horse to.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Prove the horse was dead.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
People were not happy about that. They did not want
to wake up and they go on Instagram.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
You're trying to check out some beautiful people and you
don't want to see a dead horse.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
I guess horse meat sandwich out there.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Yeah, it's nothing compared to most of the stuff that
justin Cincinneti puts on Twitter.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
So that's accurate. Here's the thing about horses, though.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
If horses weren't so useful, we'd be eating horse burgers.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
We would.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
The only reason people that eat horses is because they
needed them to work. Otherwise people would have been eating
horse meat. Put that in your pipe and smoking, right,
or put that in your and cook it. Let's go
now to the phones and the hostess with the mostess
in the Twin Cities, she put.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Together the party of the year.

his wedding see them right now, But he says he
is getting it together and we will be able to
post that suit.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Okay. Yeah, that's the sizzle reel.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
That's the that's the big highlight reel from the Malor
Meet and greet. For those that were unable to attend,
you will see what you missed. And for those that attended,
you'll be going down memory lane thinking about how amazing
that night was.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Will there be video?

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Will there be video of me getting a ticket as
I was driving to the Malor Meet and greet.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
No, no, darling, that happened before you saw your name
up at Jungle Tron.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Okay, that is that is true. Yeah, that's literally like
two minutes before. I was the next off ramp. I
got off the highway there and I turned and there
was the Mermaid and I got I just gotten a ticket. Y, Yeah,
that's a ticket.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
No, that was the ticket anyway, all right, you do.
Everything's good with you. You're very very happy, satisfied. Everything's fine.

Speaker 5 (19:02):
Yes, I just.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
Spent the whole night building two enormous pans of lasagna.
You know how long it takes to build lazaga.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, I have not made lazan. I do like cooking,
and I do a lot of baking, but I've not
made lasan. It takes a long time. It takes a while.

Speaker 7 (19:21):
Work.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
I gotchas of artwork. You know.

Speaker 7 (19:26):
It's a sculpture in the pan, you know.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
And it's a hearty meal.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Lasagna is a hearty meal, so it'll fill the people
up and you can serve a lot of people that.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
All right, thank you, Regina, all right, bye bye, there
she goes, all right, we'll talk to you next the
next week. Sometimes I don't know you.

Speaker 8 (19:43):
I didn't know you built lasagna. But I can see
that because you you start from the bottom and you layers,
you know.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
See, you gotta understand Regina is not just your normal caller.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
She's an artisan in the kitchen, is what she is.

Speaker 9 (20:01):
I believe it.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
You cook anything there, Sam.

Speaker 9 (20:04):
You're yeah, still something here and there.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
You know.

Speaker 9 (20:08):
I can get a frozen pizza and add some fresh
onions on tip.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Oh, you hit your own onions.

Speaker 8 (20:13):
I also make a pretty good chicken salad that I
learned at a deli.

Speaker 9 (20:19):
Catering deli.

Speaker 8 (20:20):
But uh, like a Buffalo style and then like the
Napa Valley style and it blows people away. Not my
recipe though, I took it from someone else, but definitely
a crowd pleaser.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
I got into cooking a little bit. And then when
they kept raising the prices that putin price hike according
to present by, when the food of the price of
going out to eat got so ridiculous, I said, you know,
whatever I want to eat, I'll just make you know,
I still go out and.

Speaker 9 (20:45):
Yeah, a little carry out here and there, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
I try to cook it at the at the house
as much as I can because I'll get what I want.

Speaker 9 (20:53):
It's cheaper Trader Joe's, you know.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, they have a lot of stuff there that's pre made.
I like, yeah, pizza dollar's good for me.

Speaker 9 (21:00):
Yeah, all right, put it in the skillet, set it
and forget it.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, you're a craftsman when it's pre made and all
you have to do.

Speaker 8 (21:08):
And then I might add some fresh peas to it
or something. You know, Now it's healthier.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I understand. It does surprises me, like the frozen pizza game.
And I've eaten my share of frozen pizza.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Why wouldn't everyone just get a cheese frozen pizza and
that add your own top right.

Speaker 8 (21:24):
Right, and I do I do that, Or I'll get
like a pepperoni and I'll add like some banana peppers
and maybe some cha minse garlic on top something like that.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
It's an odd thing about human beings. We're so lazy.
Like I think, if you canna, it's like going halfway.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
You get the cheese pizza and then if you want
whatever your pepperoni, mushrooms, I like, the onions, the garlic,
the beltpepy, whatever you like, you put that on.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Boom done right.

Speaker 8 (21:45):
Like a lot of times you go and you go
down the frozen pizza aisle and there's combinations of stuff
that you're like, oh it's good, but it's not like
my exact favorite combination of ingredients topics.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
And even if you suck at cooking, it's not that
hard just to get a couple of topics and.

Speaker 8 (21:59):
Does if it doesn't burn them either, Like by the
time that's the whole thing's cook twenty twenty five minutes,
it's perfect.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
I've been told we should stop talking cooking right now.
This is a sports show. It's a sports show. Stupid,
What do you do.

Speaker 9 (22:11):
Yeah, I'm not Robert. I'm not Roberto, and I'm not
You're not.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I thought you were Roberto. You're not. You're not a
Raider fan.

Speaker 8 (22:17):
No, I'm I'm a Green Bay Packer fan. I probably
will anger some people out there, especially some of our
K fan listeners.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yes, the people do not want Iowa on the show.
He's an evil packer.

Speaker 8 (22:29):
The state of Minnesota. I love the state of Minnesota.
I'm very I'm very friendly towards I love Minnesota. I
love Wisconsin.

Speaker 9 (22:36):
That is a lot Iowa's flat. There's more stuff to
do in those states.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
What I did a meet and greet in Appleton, Wisconsin,
all right, and I had multiple listeners who live No,
I know, Appleton's on the other side of Wisconsin, you know,
and it's a long drive. But they were like, yeah,
you know, I would go. I drive a long time
to see you, but not in Wisconsin. I don't go
to Wisconsin, That's what they told me.

Speaker 8 (22:59):
Well, I don't know. Someone beats from Io. I can
go into either state. I don't feel like I'm in
enemy territory.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Now, we did have in Minnesota. We had a fair
amount of people who live in Wisconsin. That came over,
but you know, they've run on a border near Minneapolis
on the other side, so it's close close for them.

Uh.

Speaker 11 (30:15):
This actually came out a little over a week ago,
but I did not I overlooked it during last week's
Coop Scoop and Entertainment. But I did watch it myself.
It is a documentary series on Netflix called Arnold and
it is about Arnold Schwarzenegger. Oh yes, it is a
three part documentary and Goness, Yes, the Governator. It was

(30:43):
actually really good. I really liked the documentary was very interesting.
You know, talks about his entire life. He even uh,
they talk.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
About all the steroids he was doing on Venice Beach
back in.

Speaker 11 (30:53):
The year he does. She does talk about the steroids.
He talks about his love child with his housekeeper.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, that's really a good housekeeper when she'll have your kid,
that's uh.

Speaker 11 (31:04):
And keep him secret for like a decade plus. Yes,
but no, I mean, you know, he it's one of
the things that I like about Arnold. Even when he was,
you know, running for governor and was governor he was,
He's always like, uh, he wasn't a bs R. You know,

(31:26):
he doesn't dance around it. He addresses it head on
and you know, never mind, I was, I don't like
him anymore.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
How much did they chargers pay him to say that?

Speaker 11 (31:39):
But anyway, if you haven't seen that, check that out
on Netflix. It's it's called Arnold it's it's good stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Okay, I'll check it out.

Uh.

Speaker 9 (32:10):
Then we have The Flash coming out this weekend. I'm
gonna go see it.

Speaker 11 (32:14):
Yes, I'm gonna check that out as well. You know,
I'm somebody that and I've said this before. I'm getting
a little like, I don't know, tired of all the
superhero movies. But this one, this one's caught my attention.
We've got we've got Michael Keaton coming back as Batman.
Uh So that's a pretty exciting and it's got some
uh it was it was a good, good trailer. I'm

(32:35):
excited for this. And uh Ezra Miller who plays the Flash,
he's a disturbed person and yet they're still going forward
with it, so it should be interesting.

lot of money, exactly, exactly. And then we also have
now this is a limited release this weekend in theaters
everywhere next weekend. But I want to mention it's called
Asteroid City. It is the latest movie from Wes Anderson,
who is my favorite director, and this one looks like

(33:17):
it could be one of his best. So I'm very
excited about that. And my music is gone. There we go,
there we go.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
What's wrong with you? Mark?

Speaker 9 (33:28):
What are we doing? Mark stops screwing up?

Speaker 11 (33:31):
And then moving over to television. This is available right
now on Netflix. It is the sixth season of Black Mirror,
coming back after a long hiatus, and this season is
a little bit more on the horror side than the
previous seasons, which were very sci fi. But there's still,

(33:52):
you know, still some sci fi elements in this one
as well, so it's getting good reviews.

Speaker 9 (33:55):
I'm excited about that.

season and then last but not least, Aaron Paul, Yeah,
