Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number one, our one of
our radio show. We head to the land of cheese
and toilet paper, the Dairy State, where Aaron Rogers is
calling out Matt Lafleur and also the players on the

(00:22):
Green Bay Packers. We talk about what Rogers had to say,
parsing his words, what is rogers bigger point by highlighting
all of the miscus and how common are these mental
errors in the NFL. We'll talk about all of that
and much more. It is our number one and here

(00:43):
it is calling you onto the carpet. Well come in
the beginning of another edition of the Ben Mallers Show.
As we are in the air everywhere on the doorstep,

our lead this hour coming from the horse's mouth. That's
right from the horse's mouth though, or in this case
Aaron Rodgers' mouth. The Packers quarterback leading green Bay to

(01:54):
a losing record after seven weeks? Who had that on
their bingo card? That did not? Green Bay losing to
the Giants, the Jets and the Commanders. Holy crap, that
sucks in consecutive weeks. And so Rogers speaking about the
situation with what's gone wrong with the Wisconsin football team

(02:16):
and if you heard what he had to say or not,
But Rogers talking to Pat McAfee does a weekly paid
appearance with McAfee paid a lot of money. There's friends
on that show, and so Rogers popped up there was
asked about the situation with green Bay and he points
out that the Packers making a lot of mental errors,

(02:39):
a lot of screw ups in fact. Rather than me
go on and on here, why don't we just go
to Aaron Rodgers himself. Here's Aaron Rodgers explaining all of
the bad play by his team. We had so many
just mental errors and mistakes. It's just it's not the
kind of football where used to plan over the years.
You know, uh, they've been They're definitely been games, you know,

(03:03):
four or five seasons where he average you know four
or five, six, maybe seven the most kind of mental
errors or missed the silemmons per week, and some weeks
you have like four, you know two sometimes this week.
You know, it's this season a lot more than that
every single week. You know, it's double digits every single week. Yeah,

(03:23):
all right. So, now, Rogers also went on to say
in that appearance with McAfee that the guys who are
making too many mistakes shouldn't be playing. God. You got
to start cutting some reps, is what Rogers said. That's
a direct quote from Rogers. Now would asked about his
individual performance, Rogers said that his quarterback coach Tom Clements

(03:45):
gave him the highest single game grade in a loss
against Washington. So let us discuss the question, what is
the message that Aaron Rodgers is sending out into the
cosmos with this? So I've got nosy neighbor, validation and
friendly fire. And we will combine all of these things

(04:07):
together and we are going to make an amazing dish
of cheese curds. One of the great foods I've ever had,
The cheese kurt underrated, all right. So a Aaron Rodgers,
who for the last several years has been driving the
VW hippie van around Green Bay, complete with the peace
symbol on the side. There, everything's gonna be okay. Nothing

(04:29):
to worry about there, Knock it off, all that negativity
getting leave that alone. There the famous drop from years ago,
relax and a couple of weeks back when a Green
Bay player said that the Packers would be in trouble
if they lost to the Jets, Rogers got all upset.

(04:49):
You can't put that out into the universe. And that
was his whole speech. And so this is a departure
from that guy. Hey, you're not that guy. Pout, you're
not that guy. And so here's how I interpret it,
using my amazing computer like brain to determine the arithmetic

(05:11):
on these stories. Here Rogers statement. So parsing the words
of Rodgers, it's algebra. Aaron Rodgers is the nosy neighbor
who's dishing small town gossip pointing a figure. He's pointing
the figure at Matt Lafleur and his teammates, but mainly
the coach. Right, this reflects poorly on the head coach.

(05:34):
There were rumblings back in the day Mike McCarthy's now
in Dallas, that he was at loggerheads with Aaron Rodgers,
and Rodgers did not appreciate the road tun Mike McCarthy.
And it's happening yet again. Green Bay has had a
training camp, they've had seven weeks of the regular season,

(05:54):
and according to Rogers, it's getting worse. It's not getting better.
The same errors are happening every week. And so that's
a direct reflection on Matt Lafleur, the head coach. At
the same time you talk about the daily double, Aaron
Rodgers also calling his co workers a bunch of buffoons,
while he, of course, as Curt Henning, he's mister perfect.

(06:18):
He's got the star sticker from his favorite coach that
he dragged out of retirement to go back to Green Bay.
Now on page to what is Aaron Rodgers larger point
from the way I read the room here, Rogers, what
he's doing is providing validation. This is a validation situation

(06:40):
to one of this particular radio shows, long standing mantras. Now,
if you've been with us a while and even in
a short amount of time, you know there's there's a doctrine,
if you will, the golden rules that we follow here,
the better stories always in the losing locker room. Ninety
nine point nine percent of the time, a prospect is
a suspect until proven otherwise is another one. We hanger

(07:02):
hat on and stats tell you what has happened, not
what's going to happen, but the big cahuna that we
use all the time. Most games are lost, they're not one.
And Aaron Rodgers just entered the chat here. He also
entered the spelling bee, and he spelled it all out,
letter by letter. He spelled it out that the Packers

(07:24):
are floundering, they're sinking into Green Bay because they're beating themselves. Now,
he didn't name any specific names. I think we can
determine who those players are just looking at the depth chart,
but he's spoke in general terms. He also did not
include himself. Now, regardless of that, Rogers at the very core,

(07:47):
at the very core Rodgers is admitting that most games
are lost, they are not one, which is what we
have said for some time there. We actually stole that
from a Hall of Famer Casey Stangel, baseball manager from
back in the day. All right, last word here, So
how common are mental errors in the NFL? As common

(08:08):
as the cold as common as people complaining about the
price of gas because they deserve to complain about the
price of gas. This is a friendly fire, body blow,
body blow, right, friendly fire, blowing up your own fighter jet.
And there's a term for it in the NFL. It's
called an emmy. Not the kind of emmy you get
when you're on some cheesy show when you win a

(08:29):
little gold statue. We're talking about MS as in mental
errors emmy, and in tennis they call it unforced errors.
Most teams in the NFL, and I know this is
a degenerate gamble. Most teams in the NFL are within
a whisker of each other. There's not that big a
difference between the Philadelphia Eagles, who have the top record

(08:51):
in football, and a team at the very bottom, someone
like the Houston Texans, for example, that there's really not
that big a gap between those teams. The thing that
separates the sheep from the goats is the brain fall.
John McEnroe, who played tennis back in his day as
a broadcast or, he said, and many athletes have said,
don't beat yourself, and that's really it. You get a

(09:13):
good coach and you limit the amount of mistakes. You're
going to win more games than you lose just by
doing that. And if you have one or two guys
making a lion's share of mistakes, then it's easy to
just cut out the deadwood. But what's going on in
Green Bay right now would appear in an entire position
group is not doing their job. At that point, you're cooked,

(09:36):
You're absolutely cooked. But mister Happy over there, Aaron Rodgers
pointing the finger and pointing the finger at his coach
and also his teammates one by one, not naming them,
but naming them in general. Coach he obviously in the
end because he said these guys should be benched. He's
calling out the coaching decision in Green Bay. And that's

(09:58):
a fact, all right. It is the Bay in it
Maller's show. If you would like to be part, the
lines are open. Abracadabra, hocus pocus. Just like that, they
open up and you can be part of the fun.

coming up an hour three and Roberto now off social media,
off Twitter. He's waiting for Dave Roberts to be let go,
and so far with no word from the Dodgers on that.
And we also a password. What is that? It's a
cheesy radio game show. We play the final hour. We're

(10:41):
here an hour four password. The word Game of the
Stars will be coming up a little bit later in
the show. Straight ahead, his lips are sealed. His lips
are sealed. But who is it and what's it about?
We'll get to that and we will do it next.

Ben Maller. Shanon des Moines writes, and he says, great
molog We're talking about Aaron Rodgers here his latest commentary
blaming his teammates and indirectly the coaching staff or the

(11:46):
Packers having a losing record after seven games. Shanon and
Moys is great monologue. I'm sure the customers I deliver
papers to enjoyed it. That said, I enjoy the rhythmic chanting,
but I'm more of a fan of made up up
urban chance like urban Maller. Clap clap, clap clap PSJ

(12:06):
who fled wrote that for me. There you go. Oh yeah,
there's a cult following for our favorite stoner in the
Gulf Coast of Florida. Late night drug tester rights and says,
thank goodness, Aaron Rodgers is blaming his teammates for their failures.
And not the Wisconsin mallor meet and greet from earlier

(12:29):
this year. That is true. I was at lambeau Field.
I was on Lombardi Avenue, the frozen Tundra back in May.
No Packer game was played, though, and we did meet
some listeners at a restaurant in Appleton, Wisconsin. And ever
since then the Packers have a losing record. Is there
a correlation causation situation, You'll have to decide. The Russian

(12:50):
kid rights in from parts unknown. He's on the highways
and byways around I think Ohio, he says, Ben, I
always thought Rogers is super over rated. Don't tell that
to Packer fans, Okay, I won't let him know all
of our friends listening on w NFL and green Bay.
Is that not the greatest radio station call letters you

(13:11):
can possibly have. W NFL that's the name of the station,
and in green Bay that carries the show anyway. The
Russian kid says, sure, he's talented and had crazy highlights,
but the year he won the Super Bowl, he was
louded with a great wide receiver, a great defense that year.
Isn't he like one in four conference championship games? He's

(13:32):
not that guy Pal, that's a great quote. Not that,
guy Pal. I've all tran Jimmy Wrights and he says
all the threats last year about leaving and now you
get what you got. You are what we thought you were. Well,
Davante Adams was a man of his word. Remember Davante
Adams and Aaron Rodgers both said this is like the

(13:52):
last dance. They were kidding around about that on social media.
Last dance. It was the last dance for Davante Adams,
but not for Aaron Rodgers, who's like, he's like the
Scottie Pippen that that stuck around as Scotty came back
to the balls. And anyway, I'm Milkman, Mike writes in
from Colorado. He says, an extraordinarily perfect Mallard monologue to

(14:13):
start today's festivities. The fact that Rogers is blaming everyone
else and not taking any blame just cements the fact
that he's no longer one of the best in the
league and he has now become a cancer. No envy
pay for you, says Milkman. Mike, Well you look at

(14:33):
the Rods. Rogers has always had great stats. If you're
just a box score reader, Aaron Rodgers is amazing. It's like,
oh my god, he's so good. I mean, if you
get turned on there, like I can't believe the stats Rogers,
but you do see a lot of third down passes.
I'm more so with some other quarterbacks, but those third

(14:54):
down completions where you complete it short of the chains,
which is the most ma addening thing you're can have. Statistically,
Aaron Rodgers is a top ten quarterback in the NFL.
Of course, so is Tom Brady. They both have top
ten status, Brady's tenth, Rogers's ninth, and yet both their
teams blow at this particular moment. So stats, you can

(15:18):
see your stats and your you know what and smoke it. Supermarket.
Steve writes him from so CALLI says, seeing Matt Lafleur
lose his mind, lose his mind over a couple of
unlucky penalties reminded me of a seven year old throwing
a tantrum after he asked why he couldn't have dessert
before dinner and his parents told him because we said so.

(15:42):
There's been a lot of that drama reek in Minnesota.
A card carrying packer hater says, as you know, I
love a good Viking monologue, and second favorite would be
a monologue about the floundering Green Bay Packers. A plus
plus plus plus says A Reek, is that is that

(16:03):
a Mallard militias sign that you have in front of
your your home? There is that? Am I? Look? Is
this photoshop to Reek or did you actually have something
like that? Man? I see the militia part, the mallard
parts written in blue. It's hard to make up, but
I think that is a It does appear to be
a Mallar militia sign. That is the first known Mallar
militia sign that's been put in front of someone's house.
So if that's real, I don't know. I can't it's

(16:25):
the Internet. Who knows. Maybe it's a deep fake or
something like that. But it looks good, looks solid. I'll
take some calls here. It is a call in show
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Let's go
to Andre, who is in the Commonwealth. He's a teacher.
He's got to be up very early in the morning.
It is early in the morning right now, but he's
calling it anyway. Hello, Andre, Welcome. What's going on? Is Ben?

(16:46):
I had to check in. I was up late, and
I needed to know participate and make sure that I
fulfilled my Mather Militia obligation. Listen, first of all, Aaron Rodgers,
you've got to look at the mirror man. Okay, pointing
fingers here, pointing fingers there. Why don't you elevate your teammates. Okay,
you lose DeVante Adam. You're supposed to be this all
time great guy, but you can't get it done in

(17:06):
the playoffs, principally because or you're always looking at everybody
else instead of pointing the pointing your finger in the
mirror at the mirror man. Now, Ben, I gotta segue quickly, Okay,
because I saw you had a Halloween party. Okay, it
was going through my timeline, and so I had a
Halloween party. Rob Parker was there. It was absolutely jumping. Okay,
because you're a uniter, not a divider. Back to Aaron Rodgers, Okay,

(17:29):
he takes the opposite approach, and that's why he's not successful. Okay,
guys don't want to be around him like they want.
People want to be around you, Ben Maller, and also
a guy like Patrick Mahomes. Okay, his teammates, Travis Kells,
the whole bunch. They're going out to get something to
drink after the game. You know they're hanging out. There's
a good spirit Aaron. He's an isolationist, okay, and that's
his primary problem. He needs to learn from the Mada militia.

(17:51):
Based on our leader, our four star, five star General
Bend Mallard himself, that Halloween party the energy to see
him off the charts. You Halloween, Andre, You're jamming like
seven calls into one call. Here. You're packing it all
into one phone call because I can't call in like
I like, I want two drums during the summer months.
I have to get it all in at once. That

(18:12):
It's great to hear from you. Thank you for taking
the call. As always the Militia, there we go, the
great go to bed, Andre, Just wait till the winter break.
If I'm here during the winter break, we'll get Andre
every night. Andre from the Commonwealth on a nightly basis. Meanwhile, boy,
what a what a poop storm we got in Foxboro.

(18:34):
This is a good story if you like the drama
rama of a team imploding in front of your eyes.
We saw that back on the Monday Night game where
the Patriots got blown out by a bad Bears team,
and the Bears kick their ass in the second half
of that game twenty three unanswered points after the Patriots
had taken the lead in the second quarter. And the

(18:55):
drama rama around the Patriots is who's gonna be quarterback?
The Patriots come right back. They played a divisional game
against Belichick's old team they used to coach for one
day the Jets, and Belichick asked multiple times the day
after the debacle in Monday Night Football, what's going on?
Who's going to be the quarterback? And Belichick refusing refusing

(19:17):
to name either Mac Jones or Bailey Zappy as the
starting quarterback after the hot pooh that was served up
there in the Monday Night game. So it's anyone's guests,
who's going to be the quarterback? And this is a
very winnable game for the Patriots. The Jets have a
good record, but they don't have a passing game. Was

(19:40):
Zach Wilson. And I'm still a handicapping looking forward to
the weekend here and I don't get ahead of myself,
but the Jets offense lacking the big play, the big bazooka.
Now that Hall the running back who had been the
big play guy. He's heard he's out for the year.
And you look at what the Jets have done running
the ball without him, and they did for James Robinson

(20:01):
from Jacksonville. But it would appear that the Jets are
going to have no offense. Now. It might not matter
because the Patriots lead the world in interceptions, and whether
it's Mac Jones or Bailey Zappy, Zap Zap Zap Zap zapp,
you throw a few interceptions, give the Jets a short field,
it doesn't matter. But that is a very winnable game.

(20:22):
That is a very winnable game. And if I'm the
Patriots here, I go back to Bailey z Appy. I
let him get all the first team reps during the week,
and I go back and I start him, and then
when he sucks, then I go to Mac Jones again.
That's what should have happened in the Money Nike. Unfortunately,
Bill Belichick does not take counsel from the Overnight Guy,
which is a mistake by him. It's a bad job

(20:46):
by him. Be sure to catch live editions of The

a dead body. He does not look like a professional athlete,
but he is now the new iron Man of the
National Hockey League, playing in his nine hundred and ninetieth
consecutive game, which is the new NHL record. Also scored

should I be in shape? Look at that guy. Guy's
played more games and checking of games. He's got four
hundred goals. I could eat hot dogs. You know what
he is, Eddie. And I used to say this when
I was at my fattest. He's fit fat, Eddie. He's
fit fat. That's what he's at, right, Yeah, yeah, you

(22:12):
know these charts are made by skinny people that you know,
your body mass in ridiculous. These are like really skinny
people that don't. These are losers, these people. And you
look at Phil Kestle. You know what he did to celebrate.
He went out in an entire buffet, an entire buffet, Eddie.
That's how he celebrated. It could be yeah, yeah, sources
not close to the situation say he may or may

(22:35):
not be enjoying enjoying that. All right, It is the
Bannet Maller Show. As we continue on chopping down the

What's in the Duffel bag? What's into Duffel bag? We'll
get to that coming up in a few but let's
go to the phone. So the ratings are about the

(23:42):
skyrocket right now because Paul in Rhode Island, get the
dump button ready. Paul in Rhode Island a very saucy
caller in more ways than one, the man that put
redbreast on the map. Hello, a man mallow, How are you? Paul?
This is not going to be a recycled call, right Paul?

(24:04):
This is original content. Oh I promise, I promise you
it won't be. I guess see Hi Roberto, and of
course Hi h the cool man. You know it took
my call. He doesn't even have to ask my name.
He knows who I am. What's his name? What do
you mean? What's the guy's name? The guy that took

(24:25):
your call? Uh? Oh my god, I just gotta whiplash. Okay, listen,
uh let me talk about what Cool the lup? All right,
let's sens his name right there, Cool the loup? Yeah,
all right, listen, let me let let's start with this.

(24:45):
All right. The NFL is doing this service to the fans. Okay,
this product that you're putting out there, it absolutely sucks because,
let me tell you, you got fifty million dollars quarterbacks
playing the this way and not including the betting world,
just an average fan. It's at this service to the

(25:07):
average fan. I don't care who is your team or
What should we do about it? Paul? We got a problem.
What should we do about it? Paul? Should we boycott?
What should we do? Should we write nasty letters on
the internet to the NFL? How should we handle this?
Come on, let's go, let's argue round and round. Here
we go, Paul, come on, here we go. Okay, okay o.
First first thing, you you you have to be lucky

(25:30):
to be three and four, to be in and my
Brady's division, you have to be lucky to be That's
not the answer. That's not the answer. That's not the answer.
The answer. The answer this, Yeah, The answer is is
the problem is that these players play when they want to. Okay.
And here's another thing. You have a problem with the referees,

(25:53):
the Zeber brothers. Okay, okay, yeah, light what do you
what do you do? And play you something? What are
you doing? Are you moving something around there? What are
you doing? What is that noise? Okay? This it's my
it's my message in a bottle to the NFL. Okay,
my message in the belt the NFL is this. This.

(26:14):
This is very insulting to average fans to pay so
much money to go see a game, Okay, and then
you get this product on the field. Before the year,
you said you had two teams, you like, the Lions
and the Raiders. You told me those I like the
Lions and my Patriots we have at the Raiders. Those

(26:38):
teams are now three and nine on the year, the
Raiders and the Lions. What say you? The Raiders are
not done yet, Relax. I only like the Raiders the Lion.
The Lions still have to play games too, The Lions.
They got eleven more games together, you know, don't forget
my matches staff, And Okay, he's not done yet. The

(26:58):
MS over right, the Rams three and three, they're not
very good either. Relax, relax. But what I'm trying to
say is, in the beginning of the season, I cannot
believe that you pay fifty million dollars to quarterbacks and
this is what they produce the idea. If you're walking
out of the stadium, let me ask you question, Paul,

(27:20):
what's your work schedule? You call us usually once a week,
So this is the night you work at night here
and we're done for the week, Is that right? Yeah? Yeah,
I call you because I don't see many callers after
when I just put you on my phone, and I
don't see many callers. And they talk about uh, skunky weed,
they talk about popping beans, they talk about all kinds

(27:45):
of stick to this. This is a sports showy. Hold
on a second, Are we not Roberto? Are we not
a hardcore sports show? Roberto? Damn right, damn right, Man, Sparto.
They call me Sporto around here, sporty mail, said man Mallaw,
Ben Mallaw, the stick a ruby sandwich, a rude bye

(28:05):
sandwich to half of these quarterbacks. Okay, they're supposed to
be high market quarterbacks. And you're you're just you're just,
you're doing a disservice to your teeth, repeating yourself. Never mind,
never mind. What are you drinking tonight? I know you're
in your house by yourself. You're an adult. What are
you drinking tonight? I'm I'm I'm stick of my red breast,

(28:29):
bro red breast bro What I mean? You got two
red breasts there? Listen, Ben Maller, Who do you think?
Who do you think is gonna go ten and seven
and make it to the Super Bowl? Who do you think?
Right now? I got two teams. Nobody's gonna go ten
and seven making the Super Bowl? No One, zero, nobody.
I don't care about Philly. I don't care about Philly

(28:51):
being dominated right now. I don't care about any other team,
the Giants, anybody else. But I'm telling you right now,
all right, thank you. I gotta talk to his boss
over at the casino there in Connecticut and see if
we can figure something out. All right, We'll get to

(29:13):
that Duffel backstory here at some point, and here is
the who am I? Game? We'll go to baseball for
the who am I? Game? When I won the World

his answer. Ron Simmons from Adrian the Pokey Pokey Pokey Guy,

Aaron Rodgers Man bun tossed out by Johnny Qbo Mexican
cannot go wrong with Franklin Stubbs from San Diego. Who
else do we have? Page down? Page down? Sean in

Forrest greg from Rob in Minnesota. Surley Scott is going

It's not Tony the Tiger Guests by mister Luciano. It's

(33:38):
not him. Well, that's a really good answer, but that's
not my answer. My answer is former San Diego Chargers
head coach Mike McCoy. Oh, I remember him what he
was a prodigy. He wasn't even one of those Peyton
Manning guys. Well add he was around Peyton Manning didn't
didn't well, uh, and that's incorrect. The correct answer, Eddie

(33:58):
is Bruce Ochi, the newest manager of the Texas Rangers.
Back in Bruce, Yeah, big Bruce, the biggest hat size
in baseball twenty ten Giants when he won the World Series,
he set the record. That record will be broken if
the Cheaters win the World Series this year. If Dusty
Baker and the Cheating ass one one thousand, two one

(34:19):
thousand holes win the World Series this year, then Dusty
Baker will have the record. He's managed three thousand, eight
hundred eighty four regular season games. He's been to the
World Series with the Cheaters in the past, but not
won the World Series. And if he does, if Houston
does win, then Dusty will have the record to himself.
So what's in the double back? What's in the double bag?

(34:39):
So let's go out of college football. If you're old
enough to remember when USC had a dynasty way back
before Alabama and their current run, they had this great
player named Reggie Bush and his running mate in the
backfield was Lendelle White, a burly running back who didn't
do anything in the NFL with Tennessee. But Lendelle White
popped up on a podcast recently and it's gone viral.

(35:05):
Here Linda White talking about his time at USC and
when he moved to Los Angeles. He said in the
podcast that when he got to his apartment in downtown LA,
he says he found a Duffel bag filled with one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in cash in his apartment

(35:26):
when he moved in. A hundred and fifty thousand dollars
in cash. And that's how you did it back in
the old days. Now you can do it more transparently.
But I was always told by guys that you'd have
the money transferred to like the girlfriend because it's not
family and they can't really trace it directly. But one

(35:49):
hundred and fifty thousand, and that means somewhere in the
Greater Los Angeles there somewhere in southern California there's a
booster saying, I want my money back. I paid a
hundred fifty thousand dollars for Lendale White. I mean, what
is that? You talk about burning money? One hundred and
fifty thousand for that guy. He was all right, did SC.

(36:10):
But come on, they thought that guy was gonna go
and be a star in the endem one hundred and
fifty thousand for Lendale White, d SC. Come on,
