here as we begin the terrestrial radio show for the
new week, we take a look back at the Lions
upsetting the Packers. Me, oh my, how did Green Bay
end up blowing that Sunday night game win? And you're

(00:42):
in the playoffs? And what are the odds that Aaron
Rogers steps away from the Packers will look at the
evidence and do the Seattle Seahawks who made the playoffs
have any chance against the heavily favored forty nine ers.
We'll talk about that and more right now in our
number one. Now that is some moldy cheese. Welcome in

(01:07):
the beginning of another week of the Benn Mallers Show.
We are in the air everywhere You there me here
as we take the stage coast to coast, border to
border and beyond on the past and lavishly powerful microphones

(01:30):
of fs are embanating live from the ride, the Bumpy
Ride on the Rocky Road. We are broadcasting live from
the ti irac dot com studios ti iraq dot com.
We'll hope you get there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers

(01:50):
ti iraq dot com the way tire buying should be.
And that's all she wrote. That's it the NFL regular seasons,
dun skis, we have survived another year watching the NFL
together or lead this hour though, coming from the final
game in the NFL, the Frozen Tounch Sunday Night Football,

(02:13):
that was where the epilogue on the twenty twenty two
regular season took place. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers was
all set up. They had the thirteenth man, the twelfth man,
you name, fourteenth man, the fifteenth man, how many officials
they were on the field, but they had they're in
their back pocket. The Packers set up hosting Jared Goff,

(02:34):
bad cold weather quarterback and the Lions in a chilly
night in northern Wisconsin. Detroit, already eliminated from playoff consideration
as the Seahawks edged the Rams in overtime, Rams won
the bet. Seahawks won the game, and so this game
was flex. The Lions in the Packers game was flex.

(02:56):
The Sunday Night Football little flex soul action there. I
don't if you saw it or not. Maybe you were
not watching, you tuned out, you didn't care about the Packers,
that the Lions, or who cares about whether Seattle gets
in the playoffs or not, Well, don't worry. We checked
it out so you would not have to. And everyone
assumed that the Packers would merely show up and they
would take care of business. And you know what happens

(03:17):
when you assume, yes, exactly, So Aaron Rodgers a late
interception the Packers, who never had a big lead, but
they did lead early in the game by a field
goal here, field goal there, and they end up losing
twenty to sixteen. The final, the Lions get the win

(03:37):
in Sunday Night Football. They finished where a winning record,
they failed to qualify for the ploffs. SODA's Green Bay,
and that loss means that Seattle has qualified for the postseason.
And the goodness is we don't have to hear crying
Craig in Seattle, bellows some tears out as the Seahawks
are into the plays. He'll be crying after the Seahawks play.

(03:59):
The forty nine will be crying after that game. But
how about Detroit? They start one in six this year,
and everyone's, oh, they shouldn't hired Dan Campbell, you know,
all the usual race paiders. I can't believe they hired
Dan Campbell. What's wrong with that guy? Oh man? All
of the lines win eight of their last ten games.
They finished with a winning record, and they still have
the sixth overall pick for handing the Rams the Lombardi

(04:22):
Trophy last NFL season. Rams are very grateful for that.
Enjoy that sixth pick and enjoy watching the playoffs on television.
So let us discuss the better story in the losing
locker room. So let's get down to the nitty gritty,
the question, how on God's greener did the Packers at home,
cold weather Dome, team, bad cold weather quarterback, everything in

(04:44):
their favor blow this game. So I've got Rhodo rooter,
breadcrumbs and baby wipes, and we will tie all of
these things together and we are going to make a
nice opical vacation is what we're gonna make because that's
where the Packer players are going on, an ice tropical vacation.

(05:06):
So green Bay they suffered from a medical condition. The
term is, it's called leaking gut syndrome is what it is.
And that's they did. That's what happened. They failed to
execute in the second half, and it really didn't do
much in the first half either. And it starts with
number twelve running Rogers green Bay's offense. You talk about

(05:29):
having some plumbing issues. You gotta call that Rhodo router there.
You gotta clog toilet. You got man man oh man. Now,
Rogers wasn't particularly great in the first half, but if
you compare and contrast his play between first half Aaron
Rodgers and second half Aaron Rodgers advantage first half. In
the second half, Rogers completed barely fifty percent of his

(05:50):
passes for less than seven yards per attempt, had the
late interception, and a passer rating below seventy. In the
second half, Packer scored seven points after halftime. Not good enough. Now,
you could also pass the blame. The shame bell can
be passed around. The Packer playmakers did not step up

(06:12):
there was there was a lot of tight took his
syndrome that was going around there and the sphincter issues
there for the Green Bay Packers. The Lions, to their credit,
they didn't roll over and play dead. They played the spoiler.
And Dan Campbell, who again was called a joke and
he's got some things cooking there and the Lions. Then,

(06:34):
the most surprising thing is that Jared Goff did not
self destruct. Did not have that on my bingo card.
I expected golf to do what golf normally does in
bad weather. He wasn't great, let's not get carried away here,
but he was better than Aaron Rodgers in the second half.
And they didn't throw the ball at much, the Lions
because they know they had Jared Goff and he's a

(06:55):
terrible cold weather quarterback and he normally freezes like Frosty
the Snowman, but he did not in this game. Not great,
but better than his contemporary on the other side of
the field. Now, let's get to the Komodo dragon in
the room. Aaron Rogers. Is that it is that turn

(07:18):
out the lasts the parties over. What are the chances
that Aaron Rodgers played his final game with the Packers
in that Sunday night loss, the final game. So you
gotta follow the bread crumbs on this. Now it's all
pointing towards Rogers exiting Wisconsin. Now we have seen this

(07:41):
particular play before. It's not new. This will be the
third year in a row. It's like Groundhog Day every
year around this time. Will Aaron Rodgers retire? Will Aaron
Rodgers leave the Green Bay Packers? Tune in to Fox
Sports Radio to find out more on this NFL soap opera,

(08:06):
the drama. Well, here's where we are right now, where
to fork in the road and Rogers. We know he
loves attention. He's an attention whore. He's center stage. It's
all about him. All the sniveling NFL media will be
slobbering over Aaron Rodgers. They want to get to the
bottom of this. Will he be back? Willy Nappy back?

(08:27):
And will he be all he can be? How long
will it take? Will he change his mind? Flip flop
flop fiesta? Will we get that? And when you look
at the aforementioned breadcrumbs, though they indicate a separation situation, Well,
let's hear from Rogers and then I'll give you some

(08:48):
of the clues that are out there. Here's Aaron Rodgers
to hear the question and the answer about what his
plans are. Where do you stand on what you want
to do next year? I mean it's a little raw
right now. You know, it's just a little ro game.
So I want to take the emotion out of it, Yeah,
and have conversations and see where the organization's at and
see how I feel after some time has passed. Is

(09:10):
there any sort of time there, like a date where
you want to make your decision by yeah. I mean
I'm not going to hold them hostage. You know, I understand.
You know, we're still in January here, march's for agency,
So we just need some time to, like I said,
get the emotion out of it, and then figure out
what's best. All right. Here's more from Rogers. Has asked

(09:30):
about the loss of Davante Adams and that situation. Obviously,
losing Davante was a big deal, but we didn't fill
that void. And I mean, he's super human, he's phenomenal.
But there was hoping in certain things I was going
to fill that void, and ultimately that just didn't happen.

(09:51):
So he just buried his wide receivers right there. That's it,
all right. So here's what it sounds like. You follow
the breadcrumbs. It's complicated, but this looks like a separation sitcom.
Now many people going with Rogers is going to retire
and fade off into the sunset. I don't buy that.
I believe we'll be talking about Aaron Rodgers next NFL season.
He just won't be playing for the Green Bay Packers.

(10:13):
That's where I'm at right now. I'm betting my money
on Rogers playing in the NFL, but not for the
Green Bay Packers. So the reason it's complicated yet, Jamison Williams,
whoever that is, of the Lions, who on the NBC
television feed, asked Rogers post game for one of those
dopey jersey swaps and Rogers his response is, yeah, I

(10:36):
gotta hold onto this one. I got a hold onto
this one. And then he was surrounded by cameras in
a made for television moment. As he walked off lambeau
Field for the final time, he was hugged by his
bestie Randall Cobb. They were hugging the bromance they're going
on as they walked down the runway and up to

(10:56):
the Packers locker room. So Rogers turned thirty nine nine
last month green Bay. If you go back to last
six seasons, Packers have two two playoff wins with Aaron
Rodgers over the last six years. So things are clearly
headed in the wrong direction. But my theory is that
while Rogers is done with Green Bay, he's not done

(11:18):
with the NFL. He saw what Tom Brady was able
to do in Tampa. He also replaced Brett Farve, who
left the Packers, played with multiple teams, had success elsewhere,
not all, not every spot he went too, but Farv
had some big seasons outside of Wisconsin. So here's where

(11:39):
it gets complicated. Though. It's gonna take some finesse because
Rogers is going to have to finagle his way out
of a Packer uniform. He's due nearly sixty million large
dead presidents in twenty twenty three. Every penny of it
is fully garral tape. So you're gonna have to negotiate

(12:01):
with the Packers, and you're gonna have to come up
with a financial compensation situation to move some money around.
And where would you go after that? Where the obvious
one would be all right, he's They got rid of
Derek Carr. They have Davante Adams. We know Rogers loves
Davante Adams. Vegas. Baby, Come on, who says no to that? Hey,
the forty nine ers have an opening two brock Purty.

(12:24):
Outside of a Super Bowl run, brock Purty, that job
will be opened up. And Jimmy Garoppolo is a free
agent in San Francisco. But there are plenty of possibilities
of Rogers wants to go to the East Coast. The Giants.
You gotta think the patron's gonna get rid of that
bum mac Jones. He sucks, and they'll get somebody else
in there. And so the salary cap is malleable. You
can move it around, you can cook the books. There's

(12:45):
always a way to do it. The Rams got rid
of that albatross Jared Goff contract. The Eagles were able
to unload Carson Wentz. And so you can get rid
of anything if you really want to. And so the
Packers they have no means. They don't even why, they
don't even make an effort to improve the roster outside
of the draft. There were one trick pony, that's it.

(13:07):
One trick pony. All right, last word here, So do
the Seattle Seahawks turn the page here? Seattle's in the playoffs?
Do they have any chance against the forty Niners? So
the way I look at that, looking ahead here, big
point spread, Niners favored by a large number. The Seattle
chance they have a puncher's chance. That's it, right, they

(13:28):
could land a direct shot to the schnaz of the
forty nine ers and knock them down. But really what
that means is, let me let me speak to you
in layman's terms. What it means is that you have
to hope if you're a Seattle that brock Purty soils
his diaper, that he goes out there and starts throwing interceptions,

(13:52):
that he needs baby wipes because he's not prepared, and
he messes up his diaper, and then you got a shot.
And if there is that reversal of fortune in Seattle's
prime for the upset outside of that, if this game's
played straight up, no chance right outside of the generosity
by brock Purty, this is going to end up as

(14:13):
a dud. Of a dud in the NFL schedule tells
you what they're thinking. That tells you the level of
attractives and we always do this game, well, who are
the cool kids? Who are the non cool kids. We'll
do this game in a little bit. We're not need
right now, but based on when you're playing, what television
window that tells you what the NFL thinks of that
matchup in terms of raz mataz. Not a lot of

(14:38):
razmatazz in that game, but every advantage in favor of
the forty nine ers in that matchup. And Geno Smith
at Big Stats this year certainly was a beatable quarterback
Baker Mayfield with a dud there for the Rams, but
the Seahawks still had to go to overtime. Fortunate to
get past Baker Mayfield and a bunch of backups and

(15:02):
spare parts that we're playing for the Rams, and that's
not a good indicator that things are going well for
Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks. Will take your calls

You're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox. He did

a great story from the world of tennis. Brian Finley

(16:28):
would probably would give you the details on that more
than me. At a lie from the tirerack dot Com.
Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller. I gotta tell you.
I come it in here and the smell that's what
I love here, that the aroma in the hallway of
rotting trash man. So good, Eddie. And then now we're

(16:50):
moving into new studios supposedly sooner or later, and not
a second too soon, because this place has fallen apart.
I went to fix one of the lives wasn't working
right above where I sit, so I was like, all right,
I'll just twist it and then the work. What do
you think happen? When I went to twist the light
to bring it back to life, It went out. It

(17:13):
went off. No, I didn't go off, Eddie. It fell off.
The whole thing fell off. The whole thing fell off
in my hand as I was merely trying to twist.
You you you got to pay for that, you know, coming
out of your salary. Yeah, I'll just put it on
Cowherd's tab. It'll be fine. Don't worry. He'll pay for it.
He's got he's got the money, made some nice cupcakes.

(17:35):
I see that photo I saw before he posted a
photos his birthday last week they made some nice cupcakes.
And I've never had cupcakes on my birthday here ever,
they've never brought me cupcakes. Not that the company. Then
we have the cupcake benefactor though that is true. We didn't.
We had the cakes, the designer cakes. That was. That
was great for a while. Coop used to have the
hook up there with the sprinkles or it was sprinkles. Yes,

(17:58):
it was good. We don't anymore, but but yeah, anyways,
so that's come in here. I walk in the aroma,
in the hallway of rotting food because it's very expensive
to pick up trash over the weekend, Eddie, it's very expensive.
So we're cutting corners here and then and then the
light thing just coming right down as just just absolutely wonderful.
But the NFL regular season is over, over and the

(18:23):
Green Bay Packers not going to the playoff g mains
in Chicago, says perfect Mallar monologue Ben thirty one years
of Hall of Fame quarterback play and only two Super
Bowl wins for the Packers. The Packers are done. Rogers
is done, and after that performance, that twenty six year
old Harris is also done. She does not have time

(18:46):
for Losers's he says, giming. Yeah, I know the tabloids
all picking up. That started People magazine. Now it's official
now that People magazine reported. When the CD sports gossip
tabloid websites reported, nobody paid attention. But when People Magazine
reported over the weekend that the thirty nine year old
Aaron Rodgers is stooping the twenty six year old model

(19:10):
daughter of the Milwaukee Bucks owner, how about dad about dadh? Yeah,
there you go. Doesn't Rodgers also owned part of the Bucks?
I guess in more ways than what heyo. I'm sure
they have a lot in common, very much, so good
for them. All right, let's go to the phones and
we'll start out in the Minnesota. A caller named Yella

(19:36):
is in the leadoff chair. Hello, Yellah, welcome. Hello. I'm
so glad you took my card. Really appreciate it. I
heard you mentioned that the state of Pete Curl and
the Seahawks. Remember we was only posted, all the announcers
saying that most posted to wear win four games. And
the reason we go in the playoffs is that great
Detroit team that we just saw play. We beat them

(19:58):
already and thank the Seahawks for that. Because the reason
Detroit play so loose is because they knew they wasn't
going to playoffs. So that's why you got that great
game nine and eight off A two in the playoffs. No,
Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll, what's he gonna get the third round?
Graph pick? This man's a genius. He smokers a guard
and he's drinking calling that man. Bless that man. That's

(20:18):
all I gotta say, thank you very much. All Right,
that's Pete Carroll's godson calling the show. It's good to
know that Pizzas godson's a fan of the show. It's
going to Anthony in Anaheim. Hello, Anthon Man. I love
those calls, the harder sports call. They just want to
get their takeoff and that's it. Yeah, I think I'll
take your answer offline. Yeah, that guy right now is
calling the other overnight shows trying to get his take

(20:40):
on the air. You'll hear him on the on the competitors.
That guarantee, like a local version of Stephen Manhattan. Kind
of strange, you know, well Stephen Manhattan is he's probably
as he calling coast to coast and you'll call us
can go, Yeah, gob you can't And gob you can't,
and gob you can't, and gob you can't and gob
you can and go get of all things? Say why
would you say that? Because it used to be a

(21:03):
thing back in the day and he's old and he
remembers it back in the day when that was a thing.
And that's his version of boba boye Stephen Manhatte. Rather
than say bob a booe, he says gobu cannon go.
That's what he does. Why not say, like, go quill go,
go quill go? Just random people, random politicians? Are you
touching up his work? Is that what you're doing here?

(21:24):
You're touching up Stephen Manhattan's work as a college. You know,
it's hard to It's hard to touch up a steaming turd.
You know. The best you could do is just pick
it up and throw it away. Well, you could polish
it and then freeze it and then yeah, I mean
there's different things you can do here. Then, can you
believe the Dolphins are in the playoffs? Congratulates gonna get killed?

(21:44):
But they're in the playoffs? Congratulation? Are you gonna get
a Dolphin playoff shirt? Are you gonna buy one for
seven hundred dollars? You know they're gonna you know, hey,
we made the playoffs. You know, it's it's just, you know,
just crap. This is it. It's a great finish. They
went one in five to close the year, and the
wind they barely got by Joe Flacco and the Jets,

(22:06):
who had nothing to play for. They cover that spread though,
you know it, if you wouldn't say it, you know,
you would think that that some of the stuff is scripted.
How crazy is it that, of all things, on the
last play they get a safety and they cover the spread. Yeah,
are you did you bet on the Dolphins? No, of
course not. They're loos. Why bet on the Dolphins? The Dolphins?

(22:31):
Pretty well, this is the greatest I've ever done. And
we not that you asked, Anthony, you don't care. But
in Week eighteen the hardest week the final weekend of
the NFL season. Now Week eighteen hardest. It is hard.
I'd say Week eighteen and Week one are very hard.
You know, you never know who's gonna show up and
who's gonna quit. Yeah, that's just generally true, all right.
Anything else is that you don't want to rip any

(22:53):
of the college I'm going to Iowa on when they
are tomorrow. Why are you going to Iowa? What are
you doing in a Why would you be going down?
My grandma died. It's okay, thanks, she lived a long life.
You know, she was ninety three years old. It's a
good run though, Yeah, a good run. You know you
can't complain about that, you know. There you go. Are

(23:14):
you gonna hang out with any Are you gonna have
like an Iowa meet and greet with any of the
listeners in Iowa? Anthony? A, you're gonna gonna get together whatever? Good?
You know, I'm open Wednesday. I'm leaving Thursday, but Wednesday
is wide open. Maybe I'll meet up at the tavern.
You know, it's a good place out there. There you go,
all right, well, good luck, let us know how it goes.
All right, get out of you. Thank you. Anthony's been
with show a long time. He's gonna hang outs if

(23:36):
you're He didn't say with city and Iowa? What's I
guess he's just thinks the entire states one city? Kind
of is it like two cities? Two big cities in Iowa?
I see big with a wink in an So they
blame the coach period of the calendars upon us as
a certain teams decided to play their starters. Others played

(23:57):
a lot of backups. One of the teams that played
their starters was the Chargers. The LA Chargers and Mike
Williams injured, and that is causing an uproar among these
seven Charger fans very upset with Brandon Staley, furious that
Mike Williams was injured. He suffered a back injury. It's

(24:18):
being called minor because it's not your back, it's his back.
X rays were said to be negative for Mike Williams
and the Chargers have a date with Jacksonville in the
opening round of the playoffs. And I stand with Brandon Staley.
First of all, Mike Williams is fragile. This guy, this

(24:40):
guy gets hurt getting out of bed. This guy gets hurt.
And you know there is no no way if you
look at the data. Let me get to the point.
If you look at the data of do you arrest
your starters, your play your starters. I can find evidence
that backs up playing starters. I can also find evidence

(25:01):
the backs up not playing starters, but I would rather
play them. And you can't coach scared, you can't play scared.
And be like, Oh, these guys are gonna get hurt, right. No,
if you play that way, that's a loser's mentality. And
if Mike Williams, if he's not able to play in
the playoff game, we'll see what happens with that. But
the assumption is, oh, he would have been perfectly healthy

(25:22):
for the playoff game. No, he probably would have been
hurt in pregame warm ups or whatever. You can't you
can't go into it that way. Be sure to catch
live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two
am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alli. This is Jay Glazer.
And you may know me for the world of football
or fighting or even shows like HBO's Ballers. Well you
don't know is for my entire life. I have lived

(25:42):
in something I refer to as the grey depression anxiety.
So now I'm coming out with a new podcast, Unbreakable,
a mental health podcast with Jay Glazer where each week,
well we talk about mental health. I hope to describe it,
give it words. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

(26:04):
All right, you're talking about the silly season. We've got
Black Monday coming up and defended by that. I can't
say that. Three. I apologize, But the Houston Texans getting
a head start on Black Monday firing their head coach
Lovey Smith after he wins over the Colts thirty two
thirty one. Other coaches that could be comedy columnists are

(26:26):
firing up the I can't believe they fired in the
NFL's racist column after one season. One season because they knew,
they knew they were gonna be good this year. Oh wait, no,
they didn't. Cliff Kingsbury, I'm a hot seat in Arizona.
They're talking about Steven Kevin Stefanski in Cleveland, Ron Ravera
with the Commanders. Sean mcvayh could be out with the Rams.
He's gonna quit. I think he should quit. He I'm tired.

(26:47):
This guy's at DAVA. If you don't want to coach,
get out of there. God, dude, TV. Put macup on, putup,
put macup on. Mcvah, you loser. Yeah, we'll see, we'll
see that. Yeah. Who else, Let's go through the Let's
see who I think. I think I got them all,
you got them all? I think well, the Indianapolis is

(27:08):
already over. That's already that's already been done. Usually seven,
it's an average of seven a year. They have seven
coaching changes of the year. Yeah, well, we've already had
a few in season. There were two in season, the
Broncos and the Colts. Is that that's two? I think
there was I thought there was three. Maybe I'm forgetting
the third. Do we know the third occults? Right, that's

(27:31):
the seconds. That's three. So that's three. So that means
there's gonna be four other ones. So the Texans is
wi they said there would be no cling Clingberry is out.
Clifton Kleansberry. He's a dingle Berry. That's Kingsbury, Kingsbury Clingsbury. Well,

(27:53):
you got a future as a runway model, so he'll
he'll be okay the catwalk. So I so that's I
don't think the Raiders are making change. Daniels names in
out there. I do not wait wait, wait, hold on,
say who had five? Right? So you got Panthers, Broncos, Colts, Texans,
Cardinals is five, so we need two more. Washington is

(28:15):
a possibility, is loyal, but the owner is Yeah, but
Rivera is loyal to Snyder and Snyder needs people loyal
to him at this point, and so there's fine. I
don't think Fancy is gonna get fired in Cleveland, I think, yeah,
I don't think I can see that. The problem that
Browns have is nobody wants to go to play in Cleveland.
That's the problem, and they don't. They traded their first round.

(28:36):
Pick the shots great. DeShawn Watson sucked. Oh it's against
him so hard on that guy's I lose. You go
get a massage to Sean. Go get a massage, getting
a baby yoga pose, you create happy baby, happy baby
yoga pose. Yeah. All right, here's the Band Mallers Show.

I think that could be number seven. Coop's going with

(29:20):
the New Orleans Saints. Well, yeah, they don't. They don't
really have a coach Ray. There were rumors that Sean
Payton might go back to the Saints. How he wants
to go back to New Oral Dennis Allen does not
move the needle No. Fifteen and thirty eight all time
as a head coach. Isn't there usually a surprise? How
about Robert Salad with the Jets? How about they blow
him out there with the Jets. Check his receipts is

(29:40):
pretty good. But they just need a quarterback. Saloo, it's
New York, they just need a Quarterbaated, Let's go to
man who massage to Shaun Watson on the radio was
very creepy and in the Commonwealth? Who lost the bet?
By the way, I bet that Pets Big Stailers? Would
I have a better record than that Cleveland Browns. It

(30:02):
was close, but in the end the Steelers victories. Hello
Andres Victorie, How are you doing? Ben? Shouldn't a bed
against the standards? Uh? And Mike Tomlins So I'm gonna
I'm gonna have to concede Watson underwhelming thought he was
gonna come out smoking glory second half of the season,
be ready to go. That clearly wasn't a case a

(30:24):
lot of rust And what are they? What are the Browns?
Finish seven and ten again underwhelming more bun season. I concede. However,
whatever I need to do, Venmo, you know I need
to contribute to the militia. I stand ready to do it,
but I want to just cast it up, cast it up.
I lost the Shawn. I expected more. You had all
that time to prepare study. Maybe he's playing video games

(30:46):
like Kyler Murray and he's not studying as much as
he used to. Speaking of another guy who's gonna have
a lot of time on his hands, mister Aaron Rodgers,
in terms of your malin monologue, now, what was it
his QBR today? Thirty thirty nine percent? In terms of
the QBR, he had the one interception, but Ben, we
know it should have been two interceptions. He's throwing these
hail Mary's full of graces up to whoever. The first

(31:07):
intercepception gets called back because of a hand to the
face that should have been a pick, all right, and
then he does the exact same thing for another interception
to lose the game. So I don't care if he's
smoking the pyote. I don't care if he's ingesting whatever
substances in South America. Dating the Milwaukee Bucks owner. We're
gonna see him at a lot of Milwaukee Bucks games
when they go into the playoffs and get bounced by

(31:27):
the Boston Celtics, because you haven't gonna have time on
his hands. But Aaron, forget about the Vonte Adams. You
think you're awful, you don't have it, Okay, and so
we can begin this whole He does the whole spin game.
He has a podcast and Pat McAfee goes on to
get all of his talking points out there into the universe.
Bottom line after the matter is Aaron Rodgers. You can't
hold Tom Brady's jock strapping his suitcase. Okay, your chips,

(31:49):
you're done. Tom Brady's down in Tampa Bay. What is
he doing at the tender age of forty five. They're
making a running kids. Stop with that. Tom Brady has
been pretty blah most of the year. Okay, I'm gonna
go We're gonna go crazy with this, so I please
blah Ben. But the Tampa Bay Bucks are hot, and people,
this is gonna be a s hot. They just lost

(32:10):
to the Atlanta Falcons. Well, you're putting your chips on
a Monday night, then that's right. You have to think
about it. Okay, because the bucks. Because I've just been
a second thinking about it. That's why. Then thanks for
the time, all right, all right, hang up on yourself, please,
all right, go away, yo, do bad rock? Goodbye? Baby?

(32:35):
Oh yeah, ain't you going back to school? You're a teacher,
shouldn't you? Aren't there kids waiting for you? Well? People
freaking out Sean Payton. We've talked about Sean Payton. He's
the top dog right there with Jim Harbaugh on the
coaching wish list. And during a segment on the Fox
Pregame Show with Peter Schreeger, they talked about possibilities where

(32:56):
Sean Payton could end up, and during the second Peyton
explained his situation. Says he's still under contract with the Saints,
meaning that any team that wants to speak to him
after get permission from New Orleans. But Peyton admitted that
he has talked to other owners in the NFL, which

(33:18):
is a violation of the anti tramperring rules. Why don't
even have tampering rules in professional sports? I know in
basketball they do whatever they want, and I'm pretty confident
in football they're doing whatever they want as well. All Right,
it is the Ben Mallard Show. Time now for the
who am I? Game? Here we go the who am I? Game?
This is where we pretend to be somebody else. So

malarprop guy cheating got it right? Bad job by him?

(36:58):
Do you have an answer and it's not him? Drunken
Miller guests by her buddy Miguel on fire? Was it?
Ben Roethlisberger in Cleveland. Ben Roethlisberg, you know it's in
the entire division I just Cleveland Eddiet's incorrect. Tom from Fullerton,
said Aaron Rodgers warming up some ayahuasca tea. No, the
correct answer. You gotta go all the way back to
the heyday of the forty nineties. Joemon Tanna is the answer.

(37:24):
Those forty nine with Bill Walsh, Eighteen straight road games,
and that's against the Rams, the Falcons, the Saints and
the old NFC. Wasn't wasn't the glory days back then, though,
