(00:26):
listening to Fox Sports Radio. Hello and welcome. It's our
name Birth three hour three of our radio show, and
we go where the stories of the day take us.
Did not imagine we'd be talking about the green Bay
Washington game. Seemed like it was a show up and
win situation for the Packers, but it was not. They're

(00:48):
upset Aaron Rodgers after the games saying he's not worried
about green Bay. They're under five hundred now, believe it
or not with Aaron Rodgers. And what is the main
issue for the Packers and why are they so bad
right now? How likely is green Bay to turn things around?
We want'll talk about all that and more right here

(01:10):
in our number three. It appears that mister Rogers neighborhood
is now on the wrong side of the tracks. What
happened Well, come in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mallers Show. As we are in the air everywhere,

(01:30):
hanging out under the sheets as we avoid highway or robbery,
coast stuck coast, border to border and beyond on the
blast and prodigiously powerful microphones of fs are emanating live
from the nuggets, not the chicken nuggets, the nuggets of

(01:50):
information we provide you on a nightly basis, an hourly basis.

way tire buying should be. And we are back at it.

(02:15):
Here an hour three of our little radio programs, hanging out,
You and I having a conversation and our lead this
hour coming from just outside the Capitol, over ten miles
away from DC proper, and that is where the team
fully known as the Redskins play their home games. And
Aaron Rodgers and the Packers buses rolling into landover Maryland

(02:38):
for a matchup against Washington. This a big mismatch. If
you look at the numbers coming in Washington featuring a
two and four record, the Packers were three and three,
so so maybe maybe wasn't that big a deal. Green
Bay jumped out to a fourteen to three lead in
this game, and then things went bad, bad into the bone,

(03:01):
bad bad man. If he didn't see it. Backup quarterback
Taylor Heineken. He had two hundred one yards, a modest
number of yards, but two touchdowns and leading Washington to
a twenty three twenty one upset of green Bay. The
better story in the losing locker room, and that's where
Aaron Rodgers was singing like a canary after the latest

(03:26):
Green Bay Packers loss. He was trying to sing a
positive ditty. When asked about saving the season, making the
playoffs and all that, Rogers made a declaration. And rather
than me tell you what Aaron Rodgers said, I believe
we have the audio tape. So let's go to the audiotape.
As Mortar Wolf used to say back in his day
on TV, here is Aaron Rodgers and he was asked

(03:48):
about making the playoffs and all that, and here's what
he said, I'm not worried about this squad. In fact,
this might be the best thing for us this week.
You know, nobody's gonna give us a chance Gone Buffalo
and Sunynight Football the chance they get exposed. Shoot, it
might be the best thing for us. Yeah. Now, the
editors conveniently left at the beginning of that where he

(04:09):
dropped the GD. He dropped the GD at the beginning
of the that. So I didn't he said, I didn't
say it. Yeah, So for our friends listening to the
Bible belt, he said the opposite of if you spell
dog the other way, and then like a damn stopping
water is what is what he said? All right, so

(04:33):
let us discuss the question. You heard Aaron Rodgers audio
right there, Aaron Rodgers saying he is not worried about
green bet you believe it or not. So I'm not
a believer on this. I've got Dietitian, old spice, and
panorama of you, and we will go to all of
these things randomly and we'll put them together and that

(04:53):
will be the foundation of this Mallard monologue. So, first
of all, when it comes to Aaron Rodgers and saying
that he's not worried about the squad, we are agnostic
when it comes to that, skeptical, right, skepticist Maximus. However,
you want to say it here when it comes to this,
because from the outside you have to be skeptical. We
understand that Rogers is a different cat. He's on the

(05:16):
hippie side of the spectrum, and he believes in speaking
things into existence. Blue skies, sunshine, rainbows, and everyone's got
a special lollipop. That's the magic, right, that's the magic
of it all from from Aaron Rodgers side. And remember
a couple of weeks ago, there was a Packers player

(05:36):
that made a comment about, well, we're not gonna be
in trouble unless we lose to the Jets, and Rogers
got all upset putting that out, that kind of bad
karma out into the universe. And then they lost to
the Jets, and they've just kept losing and losing and
losing and losing. So Rogers is living the lion king life,
the Hakuna matata lifestyle. No worries, right, no worries here. Now,

(05:58):
my advice is it's clearly not working. It's clearly not working.
You don't need me to tell you it's not working.
So what Rogers needs to do is become the team
dietitian for the Packers, and he needs to go into
the cafeteria at the Packer facility in green Bay and
cook up some special mushrooms and pass out jugs of
ayahuasca tea for his teammates. Us. You are what your

(06:22):
record says you are in green Bay is a losing team.
They're three and four after seven weeks. La la la losers,
La laa losers. That's where they are. And secondly, what
is the main issue for the Packers and so what
is it? Is it? One thing? Is it just go
out and get a wide receiver and make a big
trade for a wide receiver and you're all good. No, No,

(06:44):
the Packers are on the razor's edge, as in Okham's razors.
The simplest answer is to correct what green Bay needs
some old spice. They stink, they've got body odor issues
right now. And it's a lot of little things that
have caused this team distinct the high Heaven that they're
just bad enough on defense and this lacked a wild
factor on offense to be a good team. They're mediocre team.

(07:07):
They're middling team here and they perform well at times
and then for stretches of games, they're a giant ball
of suck. And they have lost now in recent weeks
to quarterbacks led by Daniel Jones, Zach Wilson, and Taylor Heineke.
That ain't good. And the defense just got their second

(07:30):
takeaway all season all season in the game against Washington,
second one all year. Think about that. That was the
second touchdown that gave green Bay the fourteen three lead.
Taylor Heineck through the old pick six there. But this
is uncharted territory for the modern green Bay Packers. The

(07:54):
offense is averaging eighteen points per game. You've got to
go back eighteen point three points per game. You gonna
go back to six. That's a long that's sixteen years ago.
The last time Green Bay had this crappy and offensive team.
The Packers did not convert a third down in the
game against Washington. That's the first time since the nineties,

(08:14):
nineteen ninety nine, even live nineteen ninety nine when Brett
Farve was quarterback there and he failed to get it done.
So Rogers I saw this. He was fifteen years old
the last time the Packers did not get a first
down in a third down. So without Davante Adams. You
told me that just because Davante Adams went to the Raiders,

(08:35):
just because of that, the walls start caving in and
green Bay's offenses is a flood of molasses at Camp
be it right. Rogers entered Sunday averaging three point four
air yards per pass, which sucks. He then went out
and said hold my beer and averaged three point two
air yards on completion. So these are passes right at

(08:58):
the line of scrimmage. These a little din can dunk passes.
These are underneath patterns, nothing downfield, not even trying to
chuck the ball downfield. Of course you could argue that
when they do, it doesn't work, So why I even bother? All? Right?
Final five? How likely is green Bay to turn things around? So,
based on a cursory look at where the Packers are

(09:22):
right now, I'm gonna set the malarads on green Bay
turning their season round at plus one fifty. Now, that
implies a forty percent chance. And I'll tell you why.
I look at the panoramic view right, the panorama view
there of where the Packers are on. As far as
the countryside is concerned, in the NFC, there has been

(09:44):
no separation. Now, the last team in the playoffs as
we head into the final game of Week seven, the
l a I ams at three and three. They are
the number seven seed. Last team in other NFC wildcard
teams are the six and one Giants and the five
and two cowboy Boys. Now a lot of people suspect
the Giants. They beat Jacksonville. There's a lot of pundits

(10:05):
that think that the Giants are fraud They're gonna come
back down to Earth. But the Giants have a very
favorable schedule, so I don't know how realistic that is.
And you've got the Vikings atop the NFC Central Chicago
and Detroit are a couple of lost teams wandering in
Nomad's land. And you look look ahead, there are six

(10:28):
teams in the NFC that are three and four. The
Packers are in that group with the forty nine Ers,
the Bucks, the Cardinals, and you've also got Atlanta and Washington.
You look at winnable games. The Packers have the Lions twice.
They should win both those games. Just show up and
collect to win the way the Lions are going and
the Bears, so that's three wins the Packers, right now

(10:52):
are sitting at three and four, so that gives you
the six wins. But outside of that, you've got at
the Bills, the Cowboys, that game in Green Bay, the Titans,
also in Wisconsin, at the Eagles, Rams in Wisconsin, at
the Dolphins, at the Vikings. So the Packers would have

(11:13):
to win if they get to six, they gotta win
at least three of those games, some combination of three,
and say, maybe the Rams is an easy win, maybe
they beat the Titans. You're gonna play ifs and what's
maybe in butts and you know all that stuff. So
they could get two more Rams and Titans, so that
gets them to eight. But then they'd have to beat
the Dolphins, which could happen Vikings. It's gonna be Nippentuck,

(11:38):
is what it's gonna be. Here. The Packers have lost
three games in a row and they are a undered
doll as you might imagine the next prime time game,
the Packers and the Bills. The line on that game
opened Buffalo by eight, and the early money, which is

(12:00):
normally the professionals. Most people don't bet NFL games until
late in the week. They don't want their money tied up.
The Nickel and dime Gambler, but the big whales don't
mind getting in early, and that line has been bet
up to ten and a half. So Buffalo is a
double digit favorite over Green Bay. How many times has
Aaron Rodgers been a double digit underdog in his career lack,

(12:21):
not very often, but they are this week, as of
this moment, they are that double digit underdog. This portion
of the show made possible by Discover Card. We could
talk about how complicated other banks make it to redeem
credit card rewards, or we could talk about how with
Discover you can redeem your rewards for cashing any amount
at any time, and me talking about amazing learn more

(12:41):
at discover dot com slash redeem rewards terms they do apply,
and we bring in the Faraoh. It's Meller. How about
that to the third degree gets grilled the Faraoh of
Fox standing g rad All right, big Ben, Yeah, after

(13:01):
all of your days off, I think you've had three
or four weeks off so far this year, Coop decided
he needed a couple of days. That's a very reason
why I look forward to working with you all week
and the week after that and the week after that.
I think it'd be great to work with you. All right,
let's start with Magic Johnson, your buddy. He's been in
the news. You've probably seen this by now. Yeah, he

(13:22):
is in talks to purchase an ownership stake in the
LV Raiders of the Yeah, Magic loves Las Vegas. How
should silver and Black fans react to this news? Well,
I would react to it with an eye roll and
a shrug. Is how Roberto stood up and started clapping
because he loves the Lakers. What the Lakers used to be,

(13:44):
not the current Lakers, who are at the very bottom.
Are they taking to try to get that that prodigy
from France? Is that? Do they even know if they
have their pick? Anyway? For victor, yes, thank for victory,
but must be real, Magic Johnson, this is a figurehead position,
even if he gets the Raiders a share of the Raiders.
He's a basketball guy. He'll show up at some games,

(14:05):
He'll take some photos, he'll shake hands, kiss babies and
all that stuff. Flash a smile, but maybe he won't
kiss babies. I don't know, but he'll be there. He'll
be showing up. And Magic he's a great business man.
I just one of the most amazing stories. Magic he
didn't make unbelievable money. He made twenty five million dollars

(14:26):
in this screup, which is a lot of money for
you and I, but that's it as the headliner in
the NBA in the in the eighties, twenty five million dollars.
He is now worth over six hundred million dollars. So
he's been great. He's had the Midas touch with business.
And so you own an NFL team, even if you're
a minority owner of an NFL team, you end up

(14:46):
making a lot of money there. So he'll make a
lot of money on this. Good for Magic. It's not
going to affect the Raiders. He's not going to decide
to trade car or fire the coach next. All right.
Tabloids are reporting that Gazelle and Brady's split it has
turned ugly. We're hearing rumors that Giselle's hired a celebrity
divorce attorney who has worked with famous clients such as

(15:07):
Tiger while his it's not him, Yeah against Tiger Ellen Nordegren,
I believe. Yeah. Should this worry Tom Brady? No? I No, Listen,
the reason Giselle is hiring this attorney, She's got more
to lose she's the breadwinner, like Brady's got a lot

(15:29):
of money. She's got catwalk pirouette money. Okay, she's she's
on the catwalk. I mean that's an unbelieved She's the
most famous model in the world for years. And so
she's hiring this attorney because she's gotten more to lose
in this squabble than Brady. The great divide between Brady

(15:49):
and his wife. How do you slice up the pile
of pasos there that day've got and a bunch and
clearly he's gotten more in the relationship. Now to me,
it's all about how you dec the prenup. See, they
have from an I understand they have an agreement, but
maybe they interpret it differently, and you hire an attorney
to interpret it for you and guaranteed that both are

(16:11):
gonna be fine. They're not gonna be living at the poorhouse.
But man, man, oh man, Brady's not worried about this.
He should be more worried about his wide receivers, his
offensive line and what the hell's going on in Tamba next?
All right? Adam Silver confirmed the NBA has discussed relegation
to prevent teams from tanking. Silver says that under the plan,

(16:33):
one team would be demoted to the G League while
the top G League team replaces them. This is as
far fetched as it sounds to us. Well listen, Adam
Silver is a con artist to even bring this up
with a straight face because he said, he said, well,
this will disrupt the business model. No, no, crap, Sherlock. Really,

(16:58):
there is zero point zero percent chance because the people
that would have to sign up sign off on this
are the owners of NBA teams, So you would risk
you talk about playing Russian roulette an NBA team. The
average NBA team is worth two point four billion dollars.
A G League team is worth twenty million dollars, so
you would risk being like Sacramento would be in the

(17:21):
G League. They go from two point four million and
they'd be worth twenty million overnight. There is no chance
of it. And how great would be Like the main
Red class who were playing the Celtics in an NBA game?
Are you telling to me the Grand Rapids gold and
don't have a shot, But that would be the greatest

(17:41):
movie of all time? Can like Rio Grands playing the
Lakers you know at the in La, Oh my god,
that would be awesome. No chance Adam Silver is a
con man for even saying there. It is malt to
the third degree. How did we do well? You know
you actually gave us enough time to do the segment.
That's right. I failed you the last last four or
five times I've filled in this year. That is correct,

(18:03):
like four fails in a row for you. You. I've
never heard you say one nice thing about magic, and
you did during this second. He makes a lot of
money for that reason alone. You passed the game mom.
I won the game mom Art anyway, Finally you can
win something without googling the answers. Oh look at you,

(18:25):
how dare you? I never do another party, Danny. That's it.
You never invited again. You're off the list. You did
not make the Google Google. Just google it. Just google it.

(22:01):
be afraid to sprinkle in a couple of pesos on
the money line could bounce back. Yeah, Well, we'll see
how the week goes here. We'll check it out as
the week goes on. So we have to pay off
the Mallar riddle. It is a matter you cannot cheat at.
There's no way unless you work for the company that
you will know the answer this. So someone left a

(22:24):
blank in the FSR kitchen that has almost completely gone untouched.
Keep in mind in radio we are vultures and everything
is consumed at a rapid rate. Ferg Dog says a
head of lettuce courtesy flush are going with a big dukie. Interesting,

(22:46):
who else do we have page down? You left some
Baba ganooche that was untouched, says Black Steve, the second,
not Black Steve, the first, Black Steve the second. Pedro
says the answer is a Cologne deodorant gift set well
that would also go untouched. Sharon says it was a
fruit salad bottled water, the santy water from Mason Millennial.

(23:11):
Aaron also went with the fruit cake. It's his answer.
Sean and Phoenix said somebody left a booker in the
kitchen that that was not eaten shrimp jello from Donkey Sauce.
That is disgusting. That can't be real. Candid are people
eating shrimp jello? No way, that's like foul unassisted, says

(23:34):
a Sunday edition of The Washington Post. Fudgie in Boston
going where the can of Hormel chili that was left there?
Chuck says, somebody left. Somebody left Tom Looney at the
at the event. It was not not nice costume, by
the way. You put a witch's hat on and said

(23:55):
I'm a witch, and that was the costume. Where'd it go?
But was a steroid user? Well, you know, yeah, Dan,
Dan went with a brain pet tortoise guest by Eke.
A lot of good guesses here, a lot of interesting guesses,
but nobody got it right. Nobody was able to come
up with the correct answer here, Eddie, do you know

(24:18):
what the correct answer is, Eddie? Somebody left a blank
of the FSR kitchen that was almost completely untouched. Yes,
the correct answer is a box of unopened letters mailed
by Andy Ferman. Oh, that would seem to make sense, Eddie,
But no. Somebody left a veggie tray, a tray of
vegetables that with ranch dressing the devil's blood right in

(24:43):
the middle, and no one touches. So the question is
who left it? And I don't know who did now
I understand. On the weekends, there's a tradition that somebody
brings donuts, usually on the weekends, but a veggie tray, Like,
what is that? The only two people that I know
here that would enjoy that would be Jonas Knox. Yeah,

(25:04):
and uh the vegan Alex tysher On our engineers Alex type.
Everyone else would look at that with hatred and disgust
as I did when I saw it. Yeah, it was
certain there was a fruit trade and the only fruit
that the people were eating was like there was a pineapple,
but the other fruit was untouched. Yeah, that could be
the work of Monsey because a few weekends ago she

(25:25):
tried to feed vegan wings to all of us. I'm
so nasty. Oh yeah, made out of soy that tasted
like those old garbage burgers you'd get at the AMPM.
She must be a Clippers fan. Oh, he's not a
Laker fan. I'm like, oh, and three lost to the
the trail. But I'm glad you brought that up, Eddie

(25:45):
and three actually didn't bring it. Well, you brought it
up indirectly. I know you were getting out there when
will Lebron James asked for a trade. Did we know
when Lebron's gonna ask for a trade? And where team
will you want to be traded to back to Cleveland, Lebron,
back to the Calves maybe anyway, Yeah, is that on

(26:08):
the air? Office? Alright, alright, that on the air. I
don't think that was alight. I heard that. I don't
think it was on the air. But there's Goldilocks things happened.
I think that's a great nick named Goldilocks on a
couple of fronts. Anyway, we'll take some calls. It is
a call in show, and let's say hello to Nick

(26:29):
in Berkeley. What's going on? Nick? Welcome? Nick? Did he
fall asleep? All right, thank you, Nick. We'll check in
with the sports Sorceress and a minute she's standing back.
We also have the Instant Advice Line coming up a
little bit later in the hour, but right now, better
late than never. Let's get over to Eddie Garcia, get

(26:50):
your cut up on everything going on in the old
over Nice all right, Ben. Lots of football to get to,
but we start with postseason baseball because the World Series
matchup is set and I don't know how many people
saw this coming, but the Astros are in the World Series.
They wrapped up a sweep of the eight six five victory.
Alex Brightman RBI single in the seventh was the game

(27:13):
winning hit Jeremy Paania with a big three run homer
in the third. Is Houston sweeps the Alcs, and they're
going to the World Series in the second straight season
and the fourth time in the last six years. Their
opponent will be I believe they were the sixth seed
in the National Last thing about that. The Grenny Gutty
Phillies beat the Padres Phillies. There we go, Phillies. We

(27:37):
got to run homer in the third and then Bryce
Harper go ahead to run homer in the eighth inning.
Phillies win the NLCS four games to one. They're going
to the World Series the first times. It's two thousand
and nine and a first ever World Series matchup of
Astros versus Phillies. Course, for most of the time the
Astros were in existence, they were in the National League
with the Phillies, so obviously would make it hard for
them to be in the World Series. But anyway, it's

(27:59):
the Astros versus the Phillies in the World Series. All right,
Let's get two weeks seven of the NFL. Sunday Night
it was the Dolphins defating the Steelers sixteen to ten.
Miami quarterback two a Tongue of Valoa, back from concussion,
twenty one of thirty five passing two hundred sixty one yards.
He had one touchdown no interceptions, although should be pointed
out that there were like three interceptions dropped by the
butter Fingers defensive backs and the Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett,

(28:20):
also back from the concussion protocol, had three interceptions in
the defeat. The Chiefs beat the forty nine Ers on
the road forty four twenty three Kansas City at five
and two on top of the AMC West. They had
a one point lead at the half. Then I'll scored
the forty nine Ers thirty to ten in the second half.
Patrick Mahomes ford in twenty three yards passing three touchdowns,
and wide receiver Nicole Hardman had three scores, two on

(28:40):
the ground and one receiving. Christian McCaffrey did play in
this game for the forty nine Ers, eight carries thirty
eight yards, two receptions twenty four yards giants or six
and one. After beating the Jaguars twenty three to seventeen,
the Jags actually had a chance to very end. Yet
the one and tack. One tackle. That the one the

(29:02):
game mains at. The one yard line runs through that
Super Bowl. Remember the Titans Rams Super Bowl? I do
that well my time I saw it on TV. Kevin Dyson, Right,
Kevin Dyson, Yeah, right, there's one yard line. Who was
a linebacker for the Rams. May Jones, Mike Jones keeping
up with the Joneses is greatest moment. But hey, at
least he had a moment in the Super Bowl. The
Buccaneers and the Packers both lost. Tampa Bay falls to

(29:25):

(32:40):
ankle injury. And Bailey Zappy, who didn't have great stats
in the first couple of games but then really started
to come on, and so he's he's going back to clipboard. Dude,
Let's go to the Fontes. Andrea, the one and only
original sports sorcer. She's got all the star charts out,
she's got the the oils, she's got the bathwater running

(33:01):
the whole thing. Our friend Andrea standing by, Yes, hello,
ban hell are you? If I was any better, I'd
be a Yankee, but not a New York Yankee because
they lost to the cheating Stros. Can you give me
some good news? Is there something in the charts that
will tell me the Philadelphia Phillies are the right side

(33:21):
in the World Series, which does not start until October
twenty eighth, So that's on Friday. The World Series starts
on Friday, Game one. They're not gonna do Thursday. They
don't want to compete with the NFL, right, And I'm
going to be doing a podcast on Wednesday and it
can drop on Thursday, so I'll have more information. Then.

(33:42):
You're you're going big time, honest, You're saving information until then.
How about that you're becoming corporate? Andrea all of a sudden.
Oh not quite, my friend, but I'll share some insights.
Happy to do that. And yeah, it's funny. I was
talking to Danny g and it's like, oh my gosh,
I have to talk about an ass Stros Phillies world series.

(34:05):
It's like my buddy, who's a Mets fan. He said
he can't pull for the Phillies because he's in New York.
I said, you gotta do it, you gotta pull for
the Phillies. Yea, Stros, you got. I would have pulled
for the Padres if they if the Giants, if the
sandwich is called Giants, who I hate, If they played
the Astros, I'd be I got the fan, right. I mean,

(34:27):
that's just you know how the cards kind of fall.
And what's interesting. You know, I'm a Mets fan, so
I was rooting for the Mets, but if the Mets
couldn't win, I was rooting for the Padres. And you
know that said. There's a solar eclipse span in Scorpio
on October twenty fifth, which is a time of transformation
letting go, so that will be interesting to see what transpires.

(34:51):
Today was a Saturn station kind of heavy, and I'm
seeing on Twitter Bod Melvin's getting some flak about not
putting Hater in to pit to Harper and Bryce Harper
October sixteen, nineteen ninety two, having his sat in return,
which is a cycle of new beginnings and increased ambition.
And we have Justin Verlander February twentieth, nineteen eighty three.

(35:15):
I remember, you know, he's a Pisces. I remember when
he pitched, I think for the Tigers against the A's
and they held up these pictures of Kate in the
stands when they were having some challenges. And Kate's a
Gemini June ten, ninety two. And U Verlander is has

(35:35):
planets in Gemini, so interesting compatibility. But basically here's the thing.
You know the Yankees really, you know, I mean for
the Yankees to get swept, that's a pretty big deal.
And you know, but I, like you, I can't root
for the Astros. Although Dusty Baker Goddis blessed him June fifteen,

(35:55):
nineteen forty nine. He's a Gemini seventy one a player
he doesn't need to win as a manager, who cares
about that? Just go enjoy your toothpicks and they'll leave
me alone, Okay, so it just root for the Astros,
even though would be nice if to No, no, you
got root for the Phillies. You got to pull for
the Phillies. Oh yeah, no, no, we don't want evil
to win. We can't have the Astros are evil. So

(36:18):
I'll swallow my Mets pride and uh yeah, you'll be forgiven.
It's okay, that's right, No, it's good. And then and
then we need the Marlins and the Mets to play
the a holes in the World Series and beat them,
and every team in the national leaguest will have beaten
them in the World Series. And in recent years, yeah,
I was actually going to boycott or girl caught the
World Series because my least two favorite teams were playing.

(36:39):
Oh yeah, well you feel free if you want, You
have that option to ignore it. I meant many people
will ignore, but we gotta leave it there. Andrew, thank you,
