Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our time Bert two hour two
of our radio programs. We are chilling in the podcast
Do Joe, and it is time now for our obligatory
Mallard monologue about the life and times of Aaron Rodgers.
(00:21):
And is Aaron Rodgers being a diva? Simple question? Simple question?
He brought it up, fair game, he brought it up.
Is Aaron Rodgers being a diva? What is Aaron Rodgers
waiting for to decide whether or not to play or
to not play? And is the retirement card a legitimate option?
(00:42):
We'll talk about all that and a whole lot more
it gets underway or right now here you go a
trip to Rogers World. Well come in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mallers Show. We are in
the Everywhere denizens as we chip away coast to coast,
(01:06):
border to order and beyond on the mast and heart
stoppingly that's true. Powerful microphones of fs are we find
a guy have a heart attack on the air. We
are emanating live from the Advocates chair as we play
Devil's Advocate. We are broadcasting live from the tirac dot
Com studios ti iraq dot Com. We'll help you get
(01:28):
there and unmatched election, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers ti iraq dot com
the way tire buying should mate. So our lead this
hour coming from an old friend, the flogging a dead horse,
(01:51):
or in this case, a long in the tooth quarterback,
the never ending speculation machine about a guy that each
cheese kurds and hangs out in the frozen tundra. The
frozen tundras where he hangs out. We're talking, of course,
about the stylings of Ain Rogers. Relax, now have you
(02:16):
heard the latest? How can you avoid it? Everyone who
does sports media they love to talk about Aaron Rodgers.
So don't worry. We got your back on this one.
We have now learned that Aaron Rodgers did not find
salvation in that darkness retreat. The decision was going to
be made and all that and then no. Now, so
(02:40):
that's the you know, it's a good news bad news.
The good news is that he has found a deep
calm when it comes to figuring it out, so that's good.
He has spent four days contemplating the time space continuum
and everything that's out there, far far away, out in
the in the cosmos, and so for four days in
(03:05):
darkness thinking about whether or not to continue his NFL career. Now,
just to prove that we are not making this up,
we actually have some audio. Here is Rogers pointing out
on this podcast interview with somebody named Aubrey Marcus. We're
not sure who that is, but apparently he thinks he's
a big deal. But here's here's a Rogers commenting on
(03:28):
the decision and when exactly all that's going to happen.
There's a finality to the decision, and I don't make
it lightly. I don't want to drag anybody around. Look,
I'm answering questions about it because I get asked about it.
I'm talking about it because it's important to me. If
you don't like it, when you think it's drama, I
think I'm being a diva or whatever, and just tune
(03:50):
it out, it's fine. But this is my life. It's
important to me, and I'll make a decision soon enough
and then we'll go down that road and be excited
about it. All right. So that was the money quote,
and we're gonna get back to that. But I want
to give you a little more here here's Aaron Rodgers
pointing out that the Green Bay Packers they have already
(04:11):
made moves to get rid of his fat ass. I've
been doubted before. And look, honestly, I felt in the
first year that Matt was here, Matt was in Green
Bay in nineteen I felt at times like a game manager,
Like it was just I didn't quite understand what we
were doing at times on offense. And my job is
to take care of the football, and I did, you know,
(04:32):
I threw four interceptions and twenty six touchdowns and we
were thirteen and three, but I felt like there was
so much more, and you know, then they drafted my replacement.
And then I went to v PA twise, and I
threw eighty five touchdowns and nine interceptions in two years.
And obviously there were some changes that happen on the
team and the coaching staff, and I didn't have my
(04:54):
best year plan. And there's probably people that think I'm done.
I thought I was done, you know, before I became
COVID MVP twice. So again, there'd be plenty of inspiration
down that road, all right. So there's Aaron Rodgers there
ranting all over the place. So let us discuss the
money quote. We played. The first clip we played was
(05:16):
the money quote, and he said, if you don't like it,
and you think it's drama and you think I'm being
a diva or whatever, then just tune out. That's fun.
So let us discuss. We'll start with that. The question
is Aaron Rodgers being a diva? And the Mallard jury
(05:36):
has reached a unanimous verdict guilty on all counts. Guilty
on all counts. I've got hippo, your old pop, and prescription,
and we will combine these three random things together and
we will try to make sense out of things that
make no sense. Now. Number one, my first thought watching
(06:06):
a chunk of this latest Aaron Rodgers interview is that, Wow,
this was a big waste of time. Nothing has been resolved,
continues to be indecisive. Wishy washye, wishy washy. That's Aaron Rodgers. Now,
he spoke out of both sides of his mouth. That's
what I noticed here. I don't know if you noticed
the same thing. But he saw the darkness, but he
(06:29):
didn't see the light that Aaron Rodgers is a diva.
Because if the shoe fits, you ought aware, right. And
I turned to the hippo, the hippo knows all word
hippo dot com, a great online dictionary word hippo, and
the definition of diva. A person who considers himself much
(06:53):
more important than others, is extremely demanding and fussy when
it comes to personal privileges. Check mate, Rogers dots the
eye like the Ohio State Marching Band. Aaron Rodgers says
he doesn't want to drag anybody around. He's answering questions
(07:13):
because he's asked about it. So my question is, does
he think that we are all a bunch of blithering idiots?
Is that what's going on here? I mean, maybe that
is the case. Rogers could certainly decide that he wants
to go with the solitude of a Buddhist monk, and
he could stay in his own world. He is the
one who has been the loose tongue blabbermouth with his
(07:35):
buddy Pat McAfee. And now, whoever this holistic health podcast
guy is. I don't even know who this guy is.
Never heard of him, but knock yourself out now page
two here, what exactly just between me and you? What
exactly is Aaron Rodgers waiting for? At this point, he
continues to run the four corners offense. He's killing the clock.
(07:56):
He's wandering around the corn maze. The cornfield may is
there and multiple acres, a lot of those towering stocks
of corn. And in his in his headphones, he's playing
old school nineties europop ace of basse. I saw the sign.
That's what he's waiting for. I saw the sign. Right. Yeah,
(08:17):
we know life is demanding without understanding, right, but he
saw the sign. He's waiting for some kind of cloud
pattern to show him there's there's got to be some
sign from the universe, signed from the universe, and that
will open up his his eyes. Gotta be it, right,
It's gotta be a little ace of base all right.
Final point, so is the retirement card a legitimate option?
(08:43):
In this very lengthy podcast interview, Rogers mentioned the finality
of the decision, The finality of the decision, which, to
quote the great J. Scoop, the one of the great
poet laureates of our time, Jay Scoop, that is bullpucky
is what that is. His decision, whatever it is, is
(09:04):
going to resolve nothing. Let me make my case. I'm
going to back my take up. When Aaron Rodgers decides
whether to retire or to play. It will resolve nothing,
and I'll tell you why. In one world, Rogers keeps
playing for Green Bay. Guess what we can have a
rerun in twenty twenty four, a repeat showing of this
(09:28):
same storyline in another separate dimension, different world. Aaron Rodgers retires. Shocker, Shocker.
Rogers says, that's it. I'm done, I can't take no
more and I'm out of here. Guess what? That is
not the end of the story. Why I would like
you to reference Tom Brady who announced his retirement and
(09:51):
forty days and forty nights later, he's back. So I
would advise you to check the prescription bottles and you
take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland. Or
are you gonna take the blue pill? Now, Rogers. Let's
be honest here. If this guy leaves sixty million dollars
on the table with his name on it, he should
(10:12):
be taken on a fifty one fifty right. Research shows
you actually can buy happiness. People think you can't buy happiness,
but research is shown that if you have enough money,
you can absolutely buy People that give out a lot
of cash, they save time on things like housekeeping and
delivery different products, and travel and things like that. They
(10:34):
just have more time. They more times. You have a
lot of money at more time to Rodgers made a
lot of money. But let's be also transparent. You're playing
in the NFL. As much as these heartos in the
NFL like to talk about how grind, what a grind
it is, and our difficult I'm not saying it's easy,
but I'm also not saying that it's that hard. What
I mean by that is from a time standpoint, you
(10:55):
have more time off than a teacher, and you're not
at the the facility all day and all night. You
go in, you work out your practice, you have a
few meetings, you get out of there, and you're usually
out of there by mid afternoon. It's kind of like school,
if you remember what the schedule when you were in
like elementary school or junior high or high school. It's
(11:17):
a similar setup to work out. You have practice, physical,
you take a shower, you go to meetings and things
like that, and then you're on your way and you
can go watch cartoons or do whatever the heck you
would like to do. It is the Bennet mallor show.
If you'd like to comment on this or anything else,
we will take your phone calls. I'd love hearing some
(11:38):
new voices. I said we were gonna do a newby night,
and we haven't done that yet. Maybe we'll do it tomorrow.
But if you'd like to be part of this show,
you don't have to wait for a Newbie night. You
call right now eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine.
You can be part of the program. One of the
(12:00):
great pieces of sports entertainment had some explaining to do.
The people at NFL Films are in hot water. We'll
get to that also later this hour. Angry birds, Angry
angry Birds. We'll get to all that, and we will
(12:20):
do it next. I'm and I know I'm great. I'll
always be great, and I'll continue to be great. Well,
that's good to hear. Be sure to catch live editions

I Doc Defenses Feelings, Drinking their Old Peace, be drinking
(12:49):
bri and have Fiduro to see Dick and Dat Pigs
is Fanto reps you could be a one percenter. Study
show that more than two hundred and forty four million
American adults listen to the radio each month, but only

He's at Ben Maller, and you can also tweet at

But he's more than just a cult screener. He's the liar,
liar and the menace of the Fox Sports Radio network.
It's the Coop the Loop Justin Cooper, and he's at you,
(13:34):
h bronco fan, I want a steamer. I can't help
you with that, and IW Live from the tirerat dot
Com Fox Sports Radio Studios, It's Ben Maller started this
hour ranting about Aaron Rogers. If I had five cents
(13:57):
for every time I mentioned Aaron Rodgers name on this show,
I'd have about twenty five cents. It would be amazing.
It would be absolutely great. And the Mallard Militia a
lot to say here, a late night drug tester write
since says Rogers is going to call it after this year,
so he doesn't go out like Brady or Manning. Yeah,
(14:17):
we'll see about that. Who else do we have, Page
dam Milkman, Mike and Colorados is a plus On the
Rogers monologue to kickoff Hour two, I wasn't sure that
the right SoundBite had been played because it sounded more
like Hayes in Minnesota talking. Shane from Des Moines writes
in says f Altuve as what he says. Fun fact
(14:42):
about de Moine in West des Moines. There's a very
tall umpire, Tim McClellan, who hasn't umpired in years, but
he lives. I believe in des Moines, longtime Major League
Baseball umpire. Random fun fact. He was like six foot six.
He was very tall. Man your fee, he writes and
says a plus and cheese curds on the hour to
(15:03):
Mallard monologue, the passive, aggressive, narcissistic packer quarterback doing obscure
podcast screams, look at mate, Yeah hey, if he's gonna
do obscure podcasts, I recommend the fifth hour with Ben Maller.
That's what I recommend anyway. Yapheemi says he should have
gone into the wilderness. Like that guy from Grizzly Man
(15:25):
to find himself. He points out listeners Sal Wrights and says,
I'll give you a B on the Mallard monologue, cash
made buy money Bag Maller happiness, but it doesn't buy
Aaron Rodgers happiness. I don't know about that. Rogers would
not be able to even consider retiring if he didn't
have a ton of money. The only reason a guy
(15:47):
would retire is if they have enough money. Why else
would you step away? Chipping the Ques Rights and says
a plus on the Mallard monologue of Rogers was any
more wishy washy, He changed his name to Charlie Brown
and adopt a beagle named Snoopy. That would be impressive.
That would be an impressive move. All right, we'll go
(16:09):
to the calls. Right now is a call in show,
and we'll start out with any meany Mighty. Let's go
down to Berkeley and Aaron Rodgers. He's probably listening right now,
and he's into this. This is his wheelhouse astrology, What's
in the stars, And we say hello to everyone's favorite astrologist,
(16:29):
Andrea in Berkeley. Hello Andrea, Hello Dan, how are you?
If I was any better I would be a Rogers,
but no, I wouldn't because he's undecided. He doesn't know
what to do. He's a very confused. Yeah, I'll tell you.
He's the poster trials for the midlife crisis. You know,
timing is everything, and he's born December second, nineteen eighty three,
(16:55):
so literally the midlife crisis thirty nine to forty two.
He's born two fifty pm, Chico, California. He's into astrology,
he posts his birth time. And when you have your
midlife crisis, you know you're questioning your life path. Basically
everything's up for interpretation. And that's the ernous opposition forty
(17:17):
to forty two. The neptune square neptune been also at
that age quote disillusion, confusion, escapism. Oh so we got
a little burgo. What were you not talking about that
that Neptune squared neptune we were talking about Oh yeah, yea, yeah, yeah,
absolutely all right. You know, and it's interesting your tweet
(17:37):
was right on. It's like about being a bit of
a diva because he has five planets and Sagittarius. We
only have ten planets, so half his planets are all
in Sagittarius and they can have like a little scattered,
a little exaggerating, excessive, kind of you know, bit irresponsible
and you know, kind of pompous. His head's too high
(17:58):
in the clouds, a bit on ground. Did so I
maintain my longstanding take on Rogers that he says that
he doesn't like the attention while soaking it all up
like a sponge. Absolutely positively, because five planets and Sagittarius um,
(18:19):
you know, definitely likes that fiery attention and you know,
that kind of adventurous spirit and very visionary. So he
likes the attention. But he's also having neptune to pose
his mercury, which is separate from the midlife crisis, transits
as personal to him, and what's mercury but communication, what's
(18:39):
neptune but confusion. So this continues been well on and
off into this year. So he is just well, I'm
not worried about that because more. But you did tell
me yet, I think it was yesterday the other day
you told me that I'm going into a lot of money,
right the super and Taurus Absolutely all right, I want
to make a ton of money. Somebody, let manam at Fox. Now,
(19:00):
I'm gonna make a ton of money. In May, they're
gonna have to redo my contract and pay me what
I deserve. Is that correct, Andrea? Oh, is that when
your contract is up around you? No? I actually I
wish it was up in May. No, it's not. It's good. Well,
Jupiter is in tours for an entire year. Band. Oh okay,
you have that opportunity when Jupiter is in Tauris. It's
once every twelve years. What do you think, TV show?
(19:22):
What are you looking at? Here? What are you? What
are you looking at? Here's a timeframe band, May sixteen,
twenty twenty three to May twenty six, twenty twenty four.
So that's the sign of finance. And it's twelve years,
So you have an entire year, a tire year to
make my money. That's amazing to me. All right, Andrea,
thank you so much. Virgo in service on Twitter, you
(19:42):
can say hello, she's got her. You get your own podcast,
you've got your own media company there, Andrea, Right, you've
got newsletter, you got a little bit of everything. All right,
there should go is our friend, Andrea. Let's say hello
to Bob in Oregon. Bob has checked He's on the
Oregon Trail, so he's checked out. Let's go to Danny Inver.
Who is next? Hello, Danny, welcome, You're on Fox Sports Radis.
(20:04):
Then Mallards Hello, Hey Danny, turn that radio all the
way up, Danny. I want to enjoy the show. So
sorry about that. I was trying to figure out if
I was had my phone off, I might uh sit
sitting on the side. How are you? If I was
any better, i'd be a Bill, but not angry Bill
because that guy calls up and yeah, what is up
(20:26):
with it? And that guy Poppy, he's horrible. Do you
think Poppy's the worst call? Because we have the Benny's
coming up back the voting on it. The voting will
be next week, right, Cooper gonna open up that voting
on Sunday into Monday for for the Bennies. And would
he get your vote Danny as the Yeah, he would
definitely get my vote to be blown up um anytime
(20:49):
he like even like calls for Coop and has to
go through. That's a hot opinion right there. That's a
great opinion. We love it. So if there's any beeping
behind me, it's because they're removing snow and up here
and snowy. How much snow were talking about it. Oh,
we're talking about at least six or seven inches. Yeah. Yeah,
(21:12):
it's just a normal day and you pour, you pour.
People in California who were getting rained on. I felt
so bad for you. Well, I was actually snowing in
parts of LA which is I know, I know it
was too. I was just kidding about the rain earlier.
It's funny they don't you live in Vermont or something,
you like, you're used to the snow. You kind of
(21:33):
have prepared, you're repared, you know how to salt the roads,
you know. Yeah, I live in Burlington. I live in Burlington,
which is kind of like right next to Vermont, you
know what I mean. It's kind of like the city.
So it's uh yeah, if you go if you go
ten miles, if you go ten miles in any direction,
it gets a hundred times worse. You're out in the wilderness.
(21:53):
You're out. Yeah, essentially. Yeah, yeah, Kinney County. Burlington is
called Kinney County, and it's essentially like a bed bird. Yeah. No,
I hear you, hear I got you, all right? So
what did you You didn't call about that, though, you
you don't call about the giants. Sorry, yeah, giants what
do they get it and Daniel Jones, who are both
(22:17):
free agents. Yeah, they cannot pay. I wouldn't pay him.
I wouldn't give m a long term I maybe would
franchise Tag even that, I'm skeptical that that guy's any good.
Sequon Barkley's a good running back, but he's a running back.
That's the problem. So that's that's quagmire for the Giants.
It's like Barkley is a great player, but he's at
a position which hasn't been that relevant since the early nineties.
(22:42):
But we Sterling Sheevard went down and we don't have
any white outs. We don't even have a tight end.
For grape sakes, as they got rid of Ingram went
down to Jacksonville. Um, so Danny Jones has got great
vertical speed, He's an incredible athletic. What do you think
move them to tight end? Move them to Daniel Jolson
(23:07):
slot receiver. That's a Now, that's an original opinion. Nobody
else has that opinion. That is a great opinion. We
will be the only show. No, it's your idea. This
is a great idea. Danny will the only show that
said tweet that out coop The Ben Malla show. According
to a source close to the Giants, Danny Vermont Daniel Jones,
the Vanilla Vix from Fox slot receiver for the Giants
(23:29):
like a Julian Edelman type receiver. Oh that's hilarious, get
it all right? Yeah, you you have a you're really
quick man. You have a great sense of humor. I
gotta tell you. Oh God bless you. All right, look
at that ringing endorsement from you? And what keeps you
up these unholy hours here? What brings you to go
to work very early in the morning. What kind of
work do you do there, Danny, I work in a
(23:51):
grocery store Stark shows. Get that all right? Very nice,
very important. We have a lot of a grocery day.

very hard to make everyone happy. Usually someone's not happy.

or what they're gonna do with him. My source in
Baltimore tell I know who your sources. I think you
do not know who much you do not you might
not know. My source tells me that the Ravens are
open for business, but they need at least two, if
not three, first round picks. If they do not get that,

(27:58):
So I've loved NFL films over the years. One of
the reasons I became a huge football fan was NFL Films.
Same here and I'm old, but back when I was
kidding and growing up, the NFL Films documentary they made
one for every team season and review they did. I
don't know, I haven't seen one in years, but they
(28:19):
used to. And then they do like the hardest hits
and bloopers, NFL bloopers and practical jokes, and it was
all great in my in the in my memory, it
was all great. So I bring this up because the
NFL Films people are in hot water. A former human
resources employee has filed a lawsuit against the NFL, and
(28:43):
The Wall Street Journal tells us that this woman, her
name is Victoria, is claiming that NFL Films is in
possession of footage featuring some very tawdry a very tawdry video.
What am I getting at here? Inappropriate footage of among
(29:05):
other things, there's a whole list here shots. Believe it
or not, NFL Films has video of cheerleaders buttocks cheerleaders
dairy here. I think that's the same thing. I think
the buttocks in the dairy are the rear in I
believe that is true. I'm not an expert on that,
but I think they also have female fans in bikini tops.
(29:26):
NFL films, the lawsuit claims, has that they have naughty
camera work close ups of cheerleaders, cleavage shot shots of
endowed women, random women in the crowd. According to the lawsuit,
they have a video of this. Now. The NFL has responded.
(29:47):
They've responded by saying that the images in question, they
didn't deny that they exist. They claimed that they were
marked as quote sensitive so that they become inaccessible for
NFL films, that is according to a statement by the NFL,
and that they do not end up in future production.
(30:08):
So here's how I relate to this. Back in the day,
when I first started radio a long time ago, I
was a radio reporter, and this is back before the
Internet became like a big deal, right, And I remember
there was a video tape that was going around, a
VHS tape. That's how long ago this was. And I've
talked about this every once in a while, and I
haven't talked about it in a while, But there was
(30:30):
a VHS tape that was like Contraband, and it was
the people that do the cameras. I was. I was
buddies with a bunch of the camera guys at the stadium,
different stadiums I would go to, and they were they
showed me this like Contraband video they let me borrow
at one time. And on the Contraband VHS tape were
(30:51):
people engaging in making whoopee at ballparks. And there was
a famous story in Toronto where couple ended up going
up to the very top there and decided that they'll
tell at the stadium in Toronto, and they still do
and they decided to do a little basket making shall
(31:14):
we say, they little belly bumping. But but this VHS
tape had people blinking in all kinds of ballparks and
it was it was just like all recorded from like
the in between innings at the So I absolutely believe
the NFL films people have a bunch of this video.
But is that is that illegal? Is like is that
(31:35):
a crime? I don't know, there's a lawsuit. Do you
get any money out of that? Like? How how was
this person harmed the human resources employee. I'm not not
sure that they're they're the victim, but that's the story.
So another lawsuit in hot water because of the Going
(31:56):
Deep video? Shall we say there's the victim? Who's the
one rock hard? A woman who used to work in
human resources at NFL Films is the one who has
filed a lawsuit against the NFL. Did she see the
bumping uglies or something like that? You think she saw
this or I don't see how that could be a
(32:18):
winning lawsuit at all. Why, as you know, you can
sue anybody for anything anytime you want, so doesn't mean
you're gonna win. I'd actually like to see that video.
If the NFL Films wants to make a special X
rated version of the video, I would like to for
research purposes, Coop, I would like to check out the video.
(32:38):
I mean, I guess, unless, like unless somebody else at
the company was like, hey check this out. Yeah, I
don't know. It seems seems like a stretch. Amy. The
lawsuit claims that my right hand was getting a workout.
This woman worked for NFL Films between twenty eighteen and
twenty twenty two. She claims to have been denied a
(33:02):
specific workspace as well as the pay incentives and career
advancement opportunities that oh, oh, here we go, here's the kicker.
White and male employees were presented. Okay, so there you go.
That's a frivolous loss it. We'll kick that one out
right there. That is a money grab situation, in my opinion,
(33:22):
Angry birds. How about the angry bird story AJ Brown
of the runner up in the NFL the Philadelphi Eagles
threatening to beat up Juju smith Shuster. Why because Juju
made another racye TikTok video goofing on the Philadelphi Eagles
(33:44):
and A J. Brown had enough and if this is accurate,
what is bouncing around and has been sent to me
from social media? A J. Brown told Juju smith Shuster
to go to Cancun, have a great time. Go to
I think the Bahamas wouldever haveful time, but then not
bring this stuff up anymore, and then threatened to get
(34:05):
into a physical altercation. So A J. Brown's not happy.
Also not happy the Eagles safety CJ. Gardiner Johnson, who
tweeted out and deleted a shot at Jonathan Gannon, the
former defensive coach of the Eagles who is now the
head coach of the Cardinals, and pointing out that Gannon
(34:29):
did not put CJ. Gardner Johnson in position to succeed
in said Super Bowl. It is the Ben Maller Show.

Hello and welcome. It's our time Bert two hour two
of our radio programs. We are chilling in the podcast
Do Joe, and it is time now for our obligatory
Mallard monologue about the life and times of Aaron Rodgers.
(00:21):
And is Aaron Rodgers being a diva? Simple question? Simple question?
He brought it up, fair game, he brought it up.
Is Aaron Rodgers being a diva? What is Aaron Rodgers
waiting for to decide whether or not to play or
to not play? And is the retirement card a legitimate option?
(00:42):
We'll talk about all that and a whole lot more
it gets underway or right now here you go a
trip to Rogers World. Well come in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mallers Show. We are in
the Everywhere denizens as we chip away coast to coast,
(01:06):
border to order and beyond on the mast and heart
stoppingly that's true. Powerful microphones of fs are we find
a guy have a heart attack on the air. We
are emanating live from the Advocates chair as we play
Devil's Advocate. We are broadcasting live from the tirac dot
Com studios ti iraq dot Com. We'll help you get
(01:28):
there and unmatched election, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers ti iraq dot com
the way tire buying should mate. So our lead this
hour coming from an old friend, the flogging a dead horse,
(01:51):
or in this case, a long in the tooth quarterback,
the never ending speculation machine about a guy that each
cheese kurds and hangs out in the frozen tundra. The
frozen tundras where he hangs out. We're talking, of course,
about the stylings of Ain Rogers. Relax, now have you
(02:16):
heard the latest? How can you avoid it? Everyone who
does sports media they love to talk about Aaron Rodgers.
So don't worry. We got your back on this one.
We have now learned that Aaron Rodgers did not find
salvation in that darkness retreat. The decision was going to
be made and all that and then no. Now, so
(02:40):
that's the you know, it's a good news bad news.
The good news is that he has found a deep
calm when it comes to figuring it out, so that's good.
He has spent four days contemplating the time space continuum
and everything that's out there, far far away, out in
the in the cosmos, and so for four days in
(03:05):
darkness thinking about whether or not to continue his NFL career. Now,
just to prove that we are not making this up,
we actually have some audio. Here is Rogers pointing out
on this podcast interview with somebody named Aubrey Marcus. We're
not sure who that is, but apparently he thinks he's
a big deal. But here's here's a Rogers commenting on
(03:28):
the decision and when exactly all that's going to happen.
There's a finality to the decision, and I don't make
it lightly. I don't want to drag anybody around. Look,
I'm answering questions about it because I get asked about it.
I'm talking about it because it's important to me. If
you don't like it, when you think it's drama, I
think I'm being a diva or whatever, and just tune
(03:50):
it out, it's fine. But this is my life. It's
important to me, and I'll make a decision soon enough
and then we'll go down that road and be excited
about it. All right. So that was the money quote,
and we're gonna get back to that. But I want
to give you a little more here here's Aaron Rodgers
pointing out that the Green Bay Packers they have already
(04:11):
made moves to get rid of his fat ass. I've
been doubted before. And look, honestly, I felt in the
first year that Matt was here, Matt was in Green
Bay in nineteen I felt at times like a game manager,
Like it was just I didn't quite understand what we
were doing at times on offense. And my job is
to take care of the football, and I did, you know,
(04:32):
I threw four interceptions and twenty six touchdowns and we
were thirteen and three, but I felt like there was
so much more, and you know, then they drafted my replacement.
And then I went to v PA twise, and I
threw eighty five touchdowns and nine interceptions in two years.
And obviously there were some changes that happen on the
team and the coaching staff, and I didn't have my
(04:54):
best year plan. And there's probably people that think I'm done.
I thought I was done, you know, before I became
COVID MVP twice. So again, there'd be plenty of inspiration
down that road, all right. So there's Aaron Rodgers there
ranting all over the place. So let us discuss the
money quote. We played. The first clip we played was
(05:16):
the money quote, and he said, if you don't like it,
and you think it's drama and you think I'm being
a diva or whatever, then just tune out. That's fun.
So let us discuss. We'll start with that. The question
is Aaron Rodgers being a diva? And the Mallard jury
(05:36):
has reached a unanimous verdict guilty on all counts. Guilty
on all counts. I've got hippo, your old pop, and prescription,
and we will combine these three random things together and
we will try to make sense out of things that
make no sense. Now. Number one, my first thought watching
(06:06):
a chunk of this latest Aaron Rodgers interview is that, Wow,
this was a big waste of time. Nothing has been resolved,
continues to be indecisive. Wishy washye, wishy washy. That's Aaron Rodgers. Now,
he spoke out of both sides of his mouth. That's
what I noticed here. I don't know if you noticed
the same thing. But he saw the darkness, but he
(06:29):
didn't see the light that Aaron Rodgers is a diva.
Because if the shoe fits, you ought aware, right. And
I turned to the hippo, the hippo knows all word
hippo dot com, a great online dictionary word hippo, and
the definition of diva. A person who considers himself much
(06:53):
more important than others, is extremely demanding and fussy when
it comes to personal privileges. Check mate, Rogers dots the
eye like the Ohio State Marching Band. Aaron Rodgers says
he doesn't want to drag anybody around. He's answering questions
(07:13):
because he's asked about it. So my question is, does
he think that we are all a bunch of blithering idiots?
Is that what's going on here? I mean, maybe that
is the case. Rogers could certainly decide that he wants
to go with the solitude of a Buddhist monk, and
he could stay in his own world. He is the
one who has been the loose tongue blabbermouth with his
(07:35):
buddy Pat McAfee. And now, whoever this holistic health podcast
guy is. I don't even know who this guy is.
Never heard of him, but knock yourself out now page
two here, what exactly just between me and you? What
exactly is Aaron Rodgers waiting for? At this point, he
continues to run the four corners offense. He's killing the clock.
(07:56):
He's wandering around the corn maze. The cornfield may is
there and multiple acres, a lot of those towering stocks
of corn. And in his in his headphones, he's playing
old school nineties europop ace of basse. I saw the sign.
That's what he's waiting for. I saw the sign. Right. Yeah,
(08:17):
we know life is demanding without understanding, right, but he
saw the sign. He's waiting for some kind of cloud
pattern to show him there's there's got to be some
sign from the universe, signed from the universe, and that
will open up his his eyes. Gotta be it, right,
It's gotta be a little ace of base all right.
Final point, so is the retirement card a legitimate option?
(08:43):
In this very lengthy podcast interview, Rogers mentioned the finality
of the decision, The finality of the decision, which, to
quote the great J. Scoop, the one of the great
poet laureates of our time, Jay Scoop, that is bullpucky
is what that is. His decision, whatever it is, is
(09:04):
going to resolve nothing. Let me make my case. I'm
going to back my take up. When Aaron Rodgers decides
whether to retire or to play. It will resolve nothing,
and I'll tell you why. In one world, Rogers keeps
playing for Green Bay. Guess what we can have a
rerun in twenty twenty four, a repeat showing of this
(09:28):
same storyline in another separate dimension, different world. Aaron Rodgers retires. Shocker, Shocker.
Rogers says, that's it. I'm done, I can't take no
more and I'm out of here. Guess what? That is
not the end of the story. Why I would like
you to reference Tom Brady who announced his retirement and
(09:51):
forty days and forty nights later, he's back. So I
would advise you to check the prescription bottles and you
take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland. Or
are you gonna take the blue pill? Now, Rogers. Let's
be honest here. If this guy leaves sixty million dollars
on the table with his name on it, he should
(10:12):
be taken on a fifty one fifty right. Research shows
you actually can buy happiness. People think you can't buy happiness,
but research is shown that if you have enough money,
you can absolutely buy People that give out a lot
of cash, they save time on things like housekeeping and
delivery different products, and travel and things like that. They
(10:34):
just have more time. They more times. You have a
lot of money at more time to Rodgers made a
lot of money. But let's be also transparent. You're playing
in the NFL. As much as these heartos in the
NFL like to talk about how grind, what a grind
it is, and our difficult I'm not saying it's easy,
but I'm also not saying that it's that hard. What
I mean by that is from a time standpoint, you
(10:55):
have more time off than a teacher, and you're not
at the the facility all day and all night. You
go in, you work out your practice, you have a
few meetings, you get out of there, and you're usually
out of there by mid afternoon. It's kind of like school,
if you remember what the schedule when you were in
like elementary school or junior high or high school. It's
(11:17):
a similar setup to work out. You have practice, physical,
you take a shower, you go to meetings and things
like that, and then you're on your way and you
can go watch cartoons or do whatever the heck you
would like to do. It is the Bennet mallor show.
If you'd like to comment on this or anything else,
we will take your phone calls. I'd love hearing some
(11:38):
new voices. I said we were gonna do a newby night,
and we haven't done that yet. Maybe we'll do it tomorrow.
But if you'd like to be part of this show,
you don't have to wait for a Newbie night. You
call right now eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine.
You can be part of the program. One of the
(12:00):
great pieces of sports entertainment had some explaining to do.
The people at NFL Films are in hot water. We'll
get to that also later this hour. Angry birds, Angry
angry Birds. We'll get to all that, and we will
(12:20):
do it next. I'm and I know I'm great. I'll
always be great, and I'll continue to be great. Well,

But he's more than just a cult screener. He's the liar,
liar and the menace of the Fox Sports Radio network.
It's the Coop the Loop Justin Cooper, and he's at you,
(13:34):
h bronco fan, I want a steamer. I can't help
you with that, and IW Live from the tirerat dot
Com Fox Sports Radio Studios, It's Ben Maller started this
hour ranting about Aaron Rogers. If I had five cents
(13:57):
for every time I mentioned Aaron Rodgers name on this show,
I'd have about twenty five cents. It would be amazing.
It would be absolutely great. And the Mallard Militia a
lot to say here, a late night drug tester write
since says Rogers is going to call it after this year,
so he doesn't go out like Brady or Manning. Yeah,
(14:17):
we'll see about that. Who else do we have, Page
dam Milkman, Mike and Colorados is a plus On the
Rogers monologue to kickoff Hour two, I wasn't sure that
the right SoundBite had been played because it sounded more
like Hayes in Minnesota talking. Shane from Des Moines writes
in says f Altuve as what he says. Fun fact
(14:42):
about de Moine in West des Moines. There's a very
tall umpire, Tim McClellan, who hasn't umpired in years, but
he lives. I believe in des Moines, longtime Major League
Baseball umpire. Random fun fact. He was like six foot six.
He was very tall. Man your fee, he writes and
says a plus and cheese curds on the hour to
(15:03):
Mallard monologue, the passive, aggressive, narcissistic packer quarterback doing obscure
podcast screams, look at mate, Yeah hey, if he's gonna
do obscure podcasts, I recommend the fifth hour with Ben Maller.
That's what I recommend anyway. Yapheemi says he should have
gone into the wilderness. Like that guy from Grizzly Man
(15:25):
to find himself. He points out listeners Sal Wrights and says,
I'll give you a B on the Mallard monologue, cash
made buy money Bag Maller happiness, but it doesn't buy
Aaron Rodgers happiness. I don't know about that. Rogers would
not be able to even consider retiring if he didn't
have a ton of money. The only reason a guy
(15:47):
would retire is if they have enough money. Why else
would you step away? Chipping the Ques Rights and says
a plus on the Mallard monologue of Rogers was any
more wishy washy, He changed his name to Charlie Brown
and adopt a beagle named Snoopy. That would be impressive.
That would be an impressive move. All right, we'll go
(16:09):
to the calls. Right now is a call in show,
and we'll start out with any meany Mighty. Let's go
down to Berkeley and Aaron Rodgers. He's probably listening right now,
and he's into this. This is his wheelhouse astrology, What's
in the stars, And we say hello to everyone's favorite astrologist,
(16:29):
Andrea in Berkeley. Hello Andrea, Hello Dan, how are you?
If I was any better I would be a Rogers,
but no, I wouldn't because he's undecided. He doesn't know
what to do. He's a very confused. Yeah, I'll tell you.
He's the poster trials for the midlife crisis. You know,
timing is everything, and he's born December second, nineteen eighty three,
(16:55):
so literally the midlife crisis thirty nine to forty two.
He's born two fifty pm, Chico, California. He's into astrology,
he posts his birth time. And when you have your
midlife crisis, you know you're questioning your life path. Basically
everything's up for interpretation. And that's the ernous opposition forty
(17:17):
to forty two. The neptune square neptune been also at
that age quote disillusion, confusion, escapism. Oh so we got
a little burgo. What were you not talking about that
that Neptune squared neptune we were talking about Oh yeah, yea, yeah, yeah,
absolutely all right. You know, and it's interesting your tweet
(17:37):
was right on. It's like about being a bit of
a diva because he has five planets and Sagittarius. We
only have ten planets, so half his planets are all
in Sagittarius and they can have like a little scattered,
a little exaggerating, excessive, kind of you know, bit irresponsible
and you know, kind of pompous. His head's too high
(17:58):
in the clouds, a bit on ground. Did so I
maintain my longstanding take on Rogers that he says that
he doesn't like the attention while soaking it all up
like a sponge. Absolutely positively, because five planets and Sagittarius um,
(18:19):
you know, definitely likes that fiery attention and you know,
that kind of adventurous spirit and very visionary. So he
likes the attention. But he's also having neptune to pose
his mercury, which is separate from the midlife crisis, transits
as personal to him, and what's mercury but communication, what's
(18:39):
neptune but confusion. So this continues been well on and
off into this year. So he is just well, I'm
not worried about that because more. But you did tell
me yet, I think it was yesterday the other day
you told me that I'm going into a lot of money,
right the super and Taurus Absolutely all right, I want
to make a ton of money. Somebody, let manam at Fox. Now,
(19:00):
I'm gonna make a ton of money. In May, they're
gonna have to redo my contract and pay me what
I deserve. Is that correct, Andrea? Oh, is that when
your contract is up around you? No? I actually I
wish it was up in May. No, it's not. It's good. Well,
Jupiter is in tours for an entire year. Band. Oh okay,
you have that opportunity when Jupiter is in Tauris. It's
once every twelve years. What do you think, TV show?
(19:22):
What are you looking at? Here? What are you? What
are you looking at? Here's a timeframe band, May sixteen,
twenty twenty three to May twenty six, twenty twenty four.
So that's the sign of finance. And it's twelve years,
So you have an entire year, a tire year to
make my money. That's amazing to me. All right, Andrea,
thank you so much. Virgo in service on Twitter, you
(19:42):
can say hello, she's got her. You get your own podcast,
you've got your own media company there, Andrea, Right, you've
got newsletter, you got a little bit of everything. All right,
there should go is our friend, Andrea. Let's say hello
to Bob in Oregon. Bob has checked He's on the
Oregon Trail, so he's checked out. Let's go to Danny Inver.
Who is next? Hello, Danny, welcome, You're on Fox Sports Radis.
(20:04):
Then Mallards Hello, Hey Danny, turn that radio all the
way up, Danny. I want to enjoy the show. So
sorry about that. I was trying to figure out if
I was had my phone off, I might uh sit
sitting on the side. How are you? If I was
any better, i'd be a Bill, but not angry Bill
because that guy calls up and yeah, what is up
(20:26):
with it? And that guy Poppy, he's horrible. Do you
think Poppy's the worst call? Because we have the Benny's
coming up back the voting on it. The voting will
be next week, right, Cooper gonna open up that voting
on Sunday into Monday for for the Bennies. And would
he get your vote Danny as the Yeah, he would
definitely get my vote to be blown up um anytime
(20:49):
he like even like calls for Coop and has to
go through. That's a hot opinion right there. That's a
great opinion. We love it. So if there's any beeping
behind me, it's because they're removing snow and up here
and snowy. How much snow were talking about it. Oh,
we're talking about at least six or seven inches. Yeah. Yeah,
(21:12):
it's just a normal day and you pour, you pour.
People in California who were getting rained on. I felt
so bad for you. Well, I was actually snowing in
parts of LA which is I know, I know it
was too. I was just kidding about the rain earlier.
It's funny they don't you live in Vermont or something,
you like, you're used to the snow. You kind of
(21:33):
have prepared, you're repared, you know how to salt the roads,
you know. Yeah, I live in Burlington. I live in Burlington,
which is kind of like right next to Vermont, you
know what I mean. It's kind of like the city.
So it's uh yeah, if you go if you go
ten miles, if you go ten miles in any direction,
it gets a hundred times worse. You're out in the wilderness.
(21:53):
You're out. Yeah, essentially. Yeah, yeah, Kinney County. Burlington is
called Kinney County, and it's essentially like a bed bird. Yeah. No,
I hear you, hear I got you, all right? So
what did you You didn't call about that, though, you
you don't call about the giants. Sorry, yeah, giants what
do they get it and Daniel Jones, who are both
(22:17):
free agents. Yeah, they cannot pay. I wouldn't pay him.
I wouldn't give m a long term I maybe would
franchise Tag even that, I'm skeptical that that guy's any good.
Sequon Barkley's a good running back, but he's a running back.
That's the problem. So that's that's quagmire for the Giants.
It's like Barkley is a great player, but he's at
a position which hasn't been that relevant since the early nineties.
(22:42):
But we Sterling Sheevard went down and we don't have

the player the franchise Ti TI TI TI. So they
got the NFL combine going on, and this is a
chance for reporters to get the question gms and head
coaches and all that stuff. Eric da Costa is the
(25:39):
man in charge there of the Baltimore Ravens. We asked,
what's so, what's the future there? What's going on with
the clock is ticking? He said, quote. I covet great players,
I covet quarterbacks. I love Lamar. What we want to
do is what's best in the club. We'll try to
do what we can for Lamar. We want to make
everyone happy. Well that's very hard to do. It's all
very hard to make everyone happy. Usually someone's not happy.
(26:01):
But we'll see if they want to trade Lamar Jackson
or what they're gonna do with him. My source in
Baltimore tell I know who your sources. I think you
do not know who much you do not you might
not know. My source tells me that the Ravens are
open for business, but they need at least two, if
not three, first round picks. If they do not get that,
(26:22):
then they will just play tag. You're in with Lamar Jackson.

So I've loved NFL films over the years. One of
the reasons I became a huge football fan was NFL Films.
Same here and I'm old, but back when I was
kidding and growing up, the NFL Films documentary they made
one for every team season and review they did. I
don't know, I haven't seen one in years, but they
(28:19):
used to. And then they do like the hardest hits
and bloopers, NFL bloopers and practical jokes, and it was
all great in my in the in my memory, it
was all great. So I bring this up because the
NFL Films people are in hot water. A former human
resources employee has filed a lawsuit against the NFL, and
(28:43):
The Wall Street Journal tells us that this woman, her
name is Victoria, is claiming that NFL Films is in
possession of footage featuring some very tawdry a very tawdry video.
What am I getting at here? Inappropriate footage of among
(29:05):
other things, there's a whole list here shots. Believe it
or not, NFL Films has video of cheerleaders buttocks cheerleaders
dairy here. I think that's the same thing. I think
the buttocks in the dairy are the rear in I
believe that is true. I'm not an expert on that,
but I think they also have female fans in bikini tops.
(29:26):
NFL films, the lawsuit claims, has that they have naughty
camera work close ups of cheerleaders, cleavage shot shots of
endowed women, random women in the crowd. According to the lawsuit,
they have a video of this. Now. The NFL has responded.
(29:47):
They've responded by saying that the images in question, they
didn't deny that they exist. They claimed that they were
marked as quote sensitive so that they become inaccessible for
NFL films, that is according to a statement by the NFL,
and that they do not end up in future production.
(30:08):
So here's how I relate to this. Back in the day,
when I first started radio a long time ago, I
was a radio reporter, and this is back before the
Internet became like a big deal, right, And I remember
there was a video tape that was going around, a
VHS tape. That's how long ago this was. And I've
talked about this every once in a while, and I
haven't talked about it in a while, But there was
(30:30):
a VHS tape that was like Contraband, and it was
the people that do the cameras. I was. I was
buddies with a bunch of the camera guys at the stadium,
different stadiums I would go to, and they were they
showed me this like Contraband video they let me borrow
at one time. And on the Contraband VHS tape were
(30:51):
people engaging in making whoopee at ballparks. And there was
a famous story in Toronto where couple ended up going
up to the very top there and decided that they'll
tell at the stadium in Toronto, and they still do
and they decided to do a little basket making shall
(31:14):
we say, they little belly bumping. But but this VHS
tape had people blinking in all kinds of ballparks and
it was it was just like all recorded from like
the in between innings at the So I absolutely believe
the NFL films people have a bunch of this video.
But is that is that illegal? Is like is that
(31:35):
a crime? I don't know, there's a lawsuit. Do you
get any money out of that? Like? How how was
this person harmed the human resources employee. I'm not not
sure that they're they're the victim, but that's the story.
So another lawsuit in hot water because of the Going
(31:56):
Deep video? Shall we say there's the victim? Who's the
one rock hard? A woman who used to work in
human resources at NFL Films is the one who has
filed a lawsuit against the NFL. Did she see the
bumping uglies or something like that? You think she saw
this or I don't see how that could be a
(32:18):
winning lawsuit at all. Why, as you know, you can
sue anybody for anything anytime you want, so doesn't mean
you're gonna win. I'd actually like to see that video.
If the NFL Films wants to make a special X
rated version of the video, I would like to for
research purposes, Coop, I would like to check out the video.
(32:38):
I mean, I guess, unless, like unless somebody else at
the company was like, hey check this out. Yeah, I
don't know. It seems seems like a stretch. Amy. The
lawsuit claims that my right hand was getting a workout.
This woman worked for NFL Films between twenty eighteen and
twenty twenty two. She claims to have been denied a
(33:02):
specific workspace as well as the pay incentives and career
advancement opportunities that oh, oh, here we go, here's the kicker.
White and male employees were presented. Okay, so there you go.
That's a frivolous loss it. We'll kick that one out
right there. That is a money grab situation, in my opinion,
(33:22):
Angry birds. How about the angry bird story AJ Brown
of the runner up in the NFL the Philadelphi Eagles
threatening to beat up Juju smith Shuster. Why because Juju
made another racye TikTok video goofing on the Philadelphi Eagles
(33:44):
and A J. Brown had enough and if this is accurate,
what is bouncing around and has been sent to me
from social media? A J. Brown told Juju smith Shuster
to go to Cancun, have a great time. Go to
I think the Bahamas wouldever haveful time, but then not
bring this stuff up anymore, and then threatened to get
(34:05):
into a physical altercation. So A J. Brown's not happy.
Also not happy the Eagles safety CJ. Gardiner Johnson, who
tweeted out and deleted a shot at Jonathan Gannon, the
former defensive coach of the Eagles who is now the
head coach of the Cardinals, and pointing out that Gannon
(34:29):
did not put CJ. Gardner Johnson in position to succeed
in said Super Bowl. It is the Ben Maller Show.
