Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our dumb bur one hour one
of the podcast, and before we tell you what's coming
up an hour one, a programming note. We need your help.
We are trying to expand the reach of this podcast.
Let people know, let people know it's it's word of
mouth advertising. Every once in a while I bring this up.
(00:21):
We have no ad budget. You're never gonna see a
billboard other than moving man Matt driving around on the
back of his rig. But other than that, we don't
have billboards or TV commercials or an elaborate internet marketing campaign.
We need you to spread the gospel about the radio
show to keep the audience growing. So we want you
to help us out. Tell a friend, tell an enemy,
(00:43):
Let's make sure they download the podcast. But here an
hour one. How do you make sense of the latest
news on Aaron Rodgers his list of demands for the Jets?
What do you make of the Jets working overtime to
accommodate said demands of Rodgers? And are the Jets really
going to be that much of a better team if
(01:06):
they pick up all these former cheesehead players that mister
Rogers would like. We'll discuss all of that and more
right now in our number one here it is one
man's wish list is another man's demands. Well come man,
the beginning of another edition of the Ben Maller Show.
(01:26):
We are in the air everywhere on the doorstep as
we fall in a gravy coast, stuck coast, border, the
border and beyond on the vast and emphatically powerful microphones
of fs are emanating live from the PLoP PLoP, fizz fizz. Oh,
(01:48):
what a relief it is The Ben Maller Show. We
are broadcasting live from the ti irac dot Com studios
ti irac dot com. We'll help you get there in
unmatched election, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended installers tirac dot com the way
tire buying should be. I hope Paul as well if
(02:10):
you were back at it again in our lead this hour,
coming from the supermarket sweep in free agency And did
Aaron Rodgers pick a new team? No, but it's all
about the latest stylings of mister Rogers neighborhood. Aaron Rodgers
has not made a decision, but number twelve currently of
(02:32):
the Cheeseheads for now, has been making some noise through surrogates.
Of course. Now, if you haven't been following along, and
even if you have, we're gonna give you a refresher. Course.
We are told that Aaron Rodgers has handed over to
the Jets what some are calling a wish list, others
are calling something totally different than a wish list, a
(02:54):
list of demands that he would like the Jets to
put on the roster, free agent sidings that he would
like acquired prior to him agreeing to sign off on
a trade. Now on that list, oh, B Jay O,
B Jack? Who else is on the list? What's on
(03:17):
the list? What's in the list? So also on the list,
we have a bunch of ex comrades of the Green
Bay Packers, Alan Lazard, Randall Cobb, and Marcedes Lewis. And
Lazard has already agreed to a contract. It's not signed yet,
but he agrees to a four year deal to go
to New York, the other New York team for forty
(03:39):
four million. Gang Green is working on Randall Cobb, who
was last effective several years ago, and Marcedes Lewis, who
is a blocking tight end. That's that's the list. Meanwhile,
Aaron Rodgers is expected to make some noise. Later today
when he hangs out with his favorite you tube influencer,
(04:01):
Pat McAfee, he will be making another paid appearance on
that show, and we imagine he will do the old dance.
Will there be an announcement? Will Rogers drag it out
and say I'm undecided? Still, I'm still waffling a little bit.
Inquiring minds would like to known today this our Wednesday show,
it's a big day because free agency has begun. Of course,
(04:23):
it really actually begin weeks ago, and you know how
that goes, all right, So let us discuss the question,
how do you make sense of the Aaron Rodgers list
of jets demands? So I've got Ikea, Coolio and Chrony capitalism,
and we will combine all of these three random things together.
(04:45):
We will throw them against the wall and we will
see what sticks. Now, Hey, Aaron Rodgers, listen, he's playing
the system. Hey, if you have the leverage, I work
in the radio business, and the person that gets the
great ratings in the morning and demand certain things that
the overnight hack can't get. That's just the reality, right,
(05:05):
And so how you sit back and you observe Aaron
Rodgers in his natural habitat, and he's gonna take this
to the eleventh hour. Wednesday is the eleventh hoar. He
might even go past the eleventh hour. The darkness retreat, Check,
introspection Check, popping up on random people we've never heard of,
(05:25):
who do wellness podcast check, Check Check, soul searching check.
Rogers has given here a master class on how to
handle leverage and how to drag this out. You know that,
and I know that he has decided that he hasn't
decided anything. He's not sure. Maybe I'll move, don't know,
(05:48):
I'm not sure. We'll think about it. Now. He wants
to supposedly go to Ikea. I guess you could say,
and pick out the furniture. He's thinking about moving, but
he doesn't like what's at the house. He has some
wants and needs. He would like the creature comforts. Grab
an Alan Lazard for the kitchen. You can put that
over there. You pick up a new sofa, Randall Cobb
(06:11):
of which you've had before, very comfortable sofa. You can
go to Marcedes Lewis there and that can be like
the bed set. And then I guess Odell Beckham would
be the entertainment system. If he's got anything left. That's
the plan. Right, that's the ticket, right there, that's the ticket. Now,
page two, what do you make of the Jets who
are bowing down, working overtime by all accounts, and reaching
(06:36):
a new low to accommodate Aaron Rodgers request. So what
do you make of the Jets working ot to accommodate Rogers.
So it is a high wire act and there is
no safety net. Have you looked at the Jets depth chart? Yes,
they gotta go back back to one of the three stooges. Well,
one of the stooges left in Miami. So what are
we looking at? Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco or quarterback X.
(07:00):
There is no safety unit. If you do not get Rogers,
you fall into Niagara Falls, do you understand? And in
their AirPods they are they're playing Coolio's Gangster's Paradise. Right.
This is a like Aaron Rodgers gang initiation. If you
want to be part of the Aaron Rodgers club, then
(07:21):
you have to first endure a ritual. It's like a negotiation,
a hosta negotiation. Rogers taking full advantage of what this
is what NBA players do. It's not normal in the NFL.
But Rogers has essentially given the Jets a ransom note,
and he would like his demands to be met. The
(07:42):
Jets already have hired a couple of his subordinates. Nathaniel Hackett,
the old Broncos stooge coach, he's now with the Jets.
We mentioned Alan Lazard agreeing to a contract to joint
New York. So it's up to the Packers, the Packers
to sign off on. But they, by all accounts, the
Packers are okay now that the Jets have to meet
(08:03):
the requirements and then the Packers will just bow down.
Some are saying this is going to drag out to
the NFL Draft, and we pray that that is not
the case. But if the Jets genuflect, and they're certainly
showing every indication they're willing to do that, if the
Jets get down and kiss the ring, they enter mister
Rogers neighborhood, it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a
(08:25):
beautiful day for a neighbor. Would you be mine? Could
you be mine? Won't you be my neighbor? That's what
they're singing right now. And Rogers, meanwhile, I was like, ah.
I'll sit back here and I'll hang out, and I'll meditate,
and I'll contemplate the time space continuum. I'll open up
a hookah lounge here with a ayahuasca side hustle over there,
(08:46):
and we'll see what happened all right, last we're here.
So are the Jets really going to be a better
team with all these former cheeseheads? So I'm shaking my head. No.
On the field, they'll be a more interesting team. They'll
be ready for prime time. But you're looking at a
group of washed up ballplayer. Randall Cobb hasn't been good
(09:10):
in several years. Marcedes Lewis is just a situational blocker
on his last legs, but he sung around forever. Odell Beckham,
who could not sign, would not sign last year even
though he wanted to because he missed the entire year
with an injury, hasn't played since that Ram Bengal Super Bowl.
And then you've got Alan Lazard, who's like a number
(09:31):
three receiver. And that is the price of admission. If
you would like to go behind the velvet ropes and
walk down the red carpet and sell a lot of
number twelve jerseys and created a lot of excitement and
buzz and headlines and tabloid fodder and all that. And
you look at the Jets depth chart, you're like, well,
Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore are on the depth chart
(09:55):
at receiver and they're both pretty good. So the Jets
are adding a third receiver in Lazard and a fourth
or fifth receiver receiver and Randall Cobb. Okay, but that's
what Aaron Rodgers wants. And then Odell Beckham. Where's Odell
Beckham in this? You gotta get rid of us, somebody.
There's too many people. There, too many people in the
wide receiver room. And we know how the receivers demand
(10:18):
the ball, Get me the damn ball. So Aaron Rodgers
is using the economic system called crony capitalism. He's taking
care of the people that have been loyal, the people
that have been in his dugout, and they're the loyal
foot soldiers. You know who's on team Rodgers. It's Mercedes Lewis,
(10:40):
Randall Cobb, Allan Lazard, that's the list, and possibly Odell Beckham,
although they've never worked together. Remember the Packers a couple
of years ago wanted Aaron Rodgers will wanted Beckham to
go to Green Bay, and beckhams like, I ain't gonna
I go to la I'm not going to Green Bay.
You kidding me? You think I want to hang out
in northern Wisconsin in the wintertime, I'll hang out in
the Hollywood Hills. It snows, but a different kind of
(11:02):
snow in the Hollywood Hills. That's where all hang out.
But it's Chrony Capitals means he's Aaron Rodgers, has the ability,
He's got the magic wand now to hand out golden
parachutes to take care of his guys, get them another contract,
an extra pay day. And these are essentially no show jobs,
paid gigs that require little to no work. Now, Lizard, sure,
(11:27):
he's gonna have to put some work in and possibly
Odell Beckham, but Randall Cobb and Marcedes Lewis he thinks,
not so much, not so much. Yeah, not not buying
that one. It is the Ben Maller Show. If you'd
like to come in on any of this or anything
else that has happened. It is an open phones across
America type situation, which usually means the same eight people
(11:48):
called but tomorrow we are gonna have not tonight but
we can do it tonight if you want, but officially
tomorrow will be a Newbie night. And we need to
do this more often. I say this all the time,
and then things get in the way and no one
reminds me. And so we will have newbie nights semi
regularly as we try to expand our horizons and bring
(12:09):
some new voices in. As opposed to the eight people
that call every single night, we know their whole life stories.
So we'll welcome to some new people. Eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six
sixty three six nine. After you're with us for the
full journey through the Red Eye flight, later on we'll
have Mallard of the third Degree. We'll have the Riddle
(12:32):
of the Day, cooking with Roberto too much or not
enough password, the word Game of the Stars, and whatever
else barks, whatever, whatever the dogs bark for, will do
that as well. So that's how that works. Eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. Also on Twitter at Ben
Maller and straight Ahead, has DeAndre Hopkins, who's currently with
(12:55):
the Arizona Cardinals. Has he found a trade partner? Is
there a trade brewing in the overnight hours that will
send DeAndre Hopkins to a new team. We will look
at the evidence. We'll get to that, and we will
do it next. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven
(13:16):

(13:38):
live from the Tireac dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Maller Chef and the Hughes Rights. And he
says a plus on the monologue Rogers could give diva
lessons to Madonna and Beyonce, he points out. Late night
gear Grinder says a plus on the Karen Rodgers soap Operate.
(14:00):
Its mind boggling that anyone would put up with his games.
If I was Woody, I would pull the plug on
that whole deal and say bye bye. Art Puffin writes
and you know it's big, a big night on the show.
When Art Puffin writes and he says, Yo, Ben, how
you doing? You really care? As we approach the end
(14:22):
of the Aaron Rodgers novel, we will turn to TB
twelve watch Hotcake from Art Puffin. He says, A rod
to the Jet s suck, suck, suck, and the g
O a t to the Miami Dolphins. How about that.
By the way, it's fins, not fish. Bad job by you.
(14:43):
When they win, they're the fins. When they lose the fish.
That's how that works. And good luck. We do need
another story to carry us through the rest of the offseason.
Will it be Tom Brady sightings working out? It's always fun.
Tom Brady was splanted working out, which means he's going
to come back and for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Eugene
(15:03):
in Chicago rights and he says, Aaron Rogers, Wednesday decision day,
Lamar Jackson, get yourself an agent immediately. Wednesday is negotiating
day for your services. Also, yeah, we'll have more on
Lamar later as well. I know you're excited about that.
Buckle up, hold on, no, Stredinus rites and he says,
perfect scenario for Aaron Rodgers as he flames out with
(15:26):
the Jets and ends his career with the Vikings, leading
them to the brink of the Super Bowl, only to
blow it with a game losing interception. I feel like
no Stredinas has seen this script before, that this is
not his first rodeo with that, and life just repeats itself, right,
that's we learned that as we get older, that things
(15:46):
just happened, that the actors on the stage change, but
the events are the same or basically the same. There
is a rumor being floated around that Aaron Rodgers could
just move along from football, and wouldn't that be great?
Oh God, if he announced his retirement on Wednesday and
said I've decided they don't really want to play because
(16:07):
the Jets did not decide to sign Odell Beckham or
some ridiculous thing like that, How great would that be?
My God? Would that be wonderful? And the Jets would
be bamboozle just like the Broncos were, although even worse
than the Broncos. Like the Broncos, hired Nathaniel Hackett for
one reason, the guy can't coach his way out of
a wet paper bag. But they hired him because they
(16:29):
thought they were getting here in Rodgers. We know that
didn't happen. And now the Jets they've gone out and
picked up Alan Lazard, They've got Hackett on the coaching staff,
and they're working their way through these other players. Nick
the Windy's Guy writes in also a big night if
Nick the Windy's Guy writes, and he says, do you
think Purdue has what it takes to win the whole tournament?
(16:50):
I'm gonna go thumbs down on that, Nick, And two
bags of chicken nuggets as well. Your phee me writes
in and says, not spice regular nuggets with the barbecue sauce.
Japhemie says four out of four magic mushrooms. On the
opening monologue, Rogers left a note in a Wisconsin cornfield.
Dear Jets, if you're reading this, you've gotten out, and
(17:14):
if you've come this far, maybe you are willing to
come a little further. You remember the name of the town,
don't you. Yeah? All right, very good, And there are
some people very upset that we are continuing our in
depth team coverage of Aaron Rodgers. Devon writes and He says,
Aaron Rodgers is only relevant because gas bags and blowhards
(17:35):
in the media keep talking about his over raided Diva
Prima Donna w rectum. Devon's fired up. He says, if
absolutely everyone ignored him, he might absolutely probably or might
possibly probably return to obscurity. Well that's a that's an
(17:56):
interesting point, might rebuttal Devon on this side of the
microphone is you are listening to a broadcast. It's broadcasting.
It's not narrowcasting. Right. We play the hits, mo Man,
play the hits, and for better or worse, and I'm
certainly leaning towards worse. We are here to react to
what's going on on the sporting world. And Aaron Rodgers,
(18:18):
whether you like it or not, moves the needle. And
we can't sit here and talk about people that don't
move the needle, because then it turns into a bad
situation for you, for me, and the whole thing. Understand Comprende,
All right, yeah, we're all on the same page on that.
All right, very good? So what about this DeAndre Hopkins story?
Do we have something brewing? Has it been leaked? Is
(18:40):
the cat out of the social media bag? DeAndre Hopkins
steroid cheat for the Arizona Cardinals, and he looks like
he's gonna be traded. He would like to be traded
by all accounts, and the Cardinals looking to accommodate him
as the new league gear begins later today on Wednesday.
And so DeAndre hop in a interesting back and forth. Now,
(19:04):
I never thought when I was a young guy getting
into radio that I would have to be an emoji expert.
But that's what's required. It's part of the skill set
to have this job. You've got to be really good
at reading emojis. You don't have to read the room,
you have to read emojis. So I present to you
Dallas Cowboy linebacker Micah Parsons, who said in a cryptic post,
(19:24):
it's about time with not one, but three I emojis.
Three I emojis looking down until the right m well.
I then present to you more evidence. DeAndre Hopkins responded
(19:44):
to the Cowboys star outspoken linebacker Michael Parsons, saying it's
about time with the I emoji times three. He responded
with a man shrugging emoji. Oh m jake, a man
shrugging emoji. That's a sign. That is a sign we
got a deal in the works. We got it. Micah
(20:06):
Parsons broke the forget Blazer and schefter Micah Parsons NFL
Insider with I emojis this is something. This is big.
And the Cowboys if they're nothing of note. I know
they made a few minor moves on Tuesday, but those
aren't moves that shake it up. And DeAndre Hopkins would
(20:30):
absolutely shake it up in the Cowboys. They got rid
of Amari Cooper before last season. The wide receivers were
not particularly great. We all know that Dak Prescott is
not going to make players around him better. He needs
great players to stay above water there, so that would
make sense. But is that a sign. I think it is.
(20:52):
I believe we've got something. It's a nice social media tease. Yeah.
Justin in Cincinnati writes, and he says, I hope Aaron
Rodgers retires in the morning so Jason Smith can get
back to being very emotional. He said some other stuff
as well, but I think he meant just very emotional.
That's what he meant by that. Robin Vegas is breaking
(21:14):
news Marcel. Marcel and I will be debuting a brand
new game in place of food picks. It's very exciting
and you're welcome. Bagel Boy, writes in from Kansas City,
says extraordinary monologue. Ben Rogers is channeling his inner Leafraud
James and posing as player coach and GM And we
(21:36):
thought Brett Farve was it diva? Well, the divas get better,
the evolved. The evolution of the diva, you get to
the next level, the higher plane of diva. It's what
you gotta do. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven
pm Pacific. Hey, I'm Doug gottlie The podcast is called
(21:58):
All Ball. They talk all basketball all the time, but
it's more about the stories about what made these people
love their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.
We talked to coaches, we talked to players, We tell
you stories. You download it, you listen to it. I
think you'll like it. Listen to All Ball with Doug
gotlieb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or ever you
(22:22):
get your podcast. You mentioned that you're going to talk
more about I assume this. Lamar Jackson, pushing back on
reports by Adam Schefter at ESPN that he turned down
a twenty million dollar fully guaranteed contract by the Ravens
back in September two. If it was twenty million, it
would be easy to turn new. Oh yes, please add
another zero in there. Two hundred million work. No, you
(22:45):
would never do that. He apparently Lamar Jackson tweeted that
he turned down a three year, one hundred and thirty
three million dollars fully guaranteed. Is that what he meant?
Or is that what he so? I guess he was
touching up Adam Schefter's work. I don't know it was.
It was cryptic, is like I'd signed Lamar Jackson to
a three year, one hundred and thirty three million dollar contract.
There's only three years. That's a big deal. Not my money,
(23:07):
Who cares? I think Lamar was saying he wasn't agreeing
to that, though. Oh I thought he's like threw it out.
I don't know how did you get that out of
what he said? He just kind of vaguely tossed it out.
He said, I don't need an agent like I got,
or no agent and I got one hundred and thirty
three million or something like that. I don't know anyway,

(23:48):
hello to Paul in Rhode Island, a winner, a Benny
Award winner, is on the line right now to pick
up his Benny Award. We welcome in our friend, Paul,
Red Breast, Paul plastered Paul. Congratulations, Faull, you won the
(24:11):
popular vote. Thank you so much, Ben Malla. I guess
you can. You don't have to be on popping beans, oh,
smoking a bag of skunky weed, or enjoying a nice
bottle of red Breast after sixteen hours of work. But
(24:33):
at four thirty eight last night, I heard you, and
I thank you, and I honor you. Okay, well, thank you,
and we demand a speech. You were named. You beat
a very competitive field. You beat legends like Jed who
flayed and the Black Irishman in Omaha, and so many
others our friend in Nashville as one of the final nominees.
(24:56):
There wait Joey and Nashville wasted caller of the plastered Paul,
I demand a speech. Who would you like to thank
for this? Paul? Uh? Yes, I'm gonna have to thank
Jed who fled. That was the closest one, you know.
But you know what, I did not expect. That did
not expect. Uh. You know some points on on on
(25:19):
anything on NFL football. But I will say this, Uh,
I thank you for your your crew. But the reason
I called is that we hold on, hold on, hold on?
How could you not think red breast? My red breast
is on my side. If there's anyone to think a
(25:43):
message in the bottle I have for you is uh?
I polished sixteen hours a day, and when it's time
to call you, I call you. When I'm in my home,
I call you. Isn't that good? Yes? So I like
to question. That's how you do? You ask yourself a question,
you answer it. I do it all the time. And
(26:04):
so now that red breast is that? How old is that? Like?
What how old is the body of twelve stage? Twelve years?
That's a twelve year aged Red Breast, the greatest whiskey
one can have. When did you fall in love with your? Question? No?
When did you question? No? When did you fall in
love with the red breast? Uh? Since my son got married?
(26:28):
Oh so not that long ago. No, I was introduced
to the wedding body. Anyway, can we get back to basics?
Do you all be a case of because I won?
Do you all me a case of jewel bledsaw wine? No,
that ain't gonna happen right. Well, you get not one,
(26:50):
but two golden tickets, so I want to congratulate you
on that. You are also celebrated by the Mallar Militia
and Eddie Garcia. If you come to La Eddie will
give you a backrupt. Well, I have to go to
where my family owned sixty sixty thousand dairy cows, which
should be in a San Diego area at this and cousin.
But that's okay. What can I get back to basics?
(27:13):
We have a problem. We have a problem in the NFL.
These thirty year old quarterbacks won't swallow their pride. They
won't hold a clipboard. The talent that's coming out right now,
it's amazing. Okay, So this Rogers, guy as a football who,
(27:35):
guy that loves football. I love to watch him. I
really don't want him in my division, but I'm gonna
tell you he's got his puppies to come in his division. Okay, Now,
all these thirty year old quarterbacks went to a fitted
suit team. Brady did it? Stafford did it? Now? Do
(27:56):
you think that Rogers going to a high market team
like New York is going to change a factor in
the AFC? The AFC period? Now, Lamar Jackson, let me
let me. He didn't even let me answer. How rude
is that? You ask a question? Allot me answer the question?
What's wrong with you? Didn't you? Manners? You think I'm
(28:21):
gonna cut you? Why would I cut you off? I
don't know, because you never know. With you, you're so
paranoid that I'm gonna cut you. Why are you so paranoid?
You should not be so paranoid. Come on, Paul, com down.
When are you working? When are you working next? So
I know next time you're gonna call? What's your schedule?
I need to know your schedule. Okay, I'll call u
four o'clock on on Thursday. Oh so back wow, back
(28:46):
to back and belly to belly. How how lucky are we? Why?
Because here's the deal, the way, the way they're doing.
How the hell does uh cargo to New Orleans because
of the religious into whatever you want to call it, Yes,
because of religion. He's into voodoo and he wanted to
go play. Come on, all right, all right, I gotta
(29:06):
go call me tomorrow. I gotta go. Thank you. I
gave him a lot of time. I didn't hang up
on him right away. I still can't believe he did
not think redbreast. I mean, that's really what made him.
I know what do what he drank before snub? I
have no idea before his son got married. So that
means like he lived a long time and did not
drink the red breast blowing up the phone. Here's the
(29:28):
who am I game? This is where we pretend to
be somebody else less we call it who am I? Game?
Who since the since becoming the star of the twenty
or actually, let me rephrase that bad job by me,
I think I'm drinking the redbreast since the start of
the twenty twenty NFL season. There you go, if you
could speak angers that way up since the start of
(29:49):
the twenty twenty NFL season, only Davante Adams has more
scrimmage touchdowns than me. Who am I? Again, Since the
start of the twenty twenty NFL season, only Davante Adams
has more scrimmage touchdowns than me. Who am I? I
will tell you that will take some calls as well,
and we will do it next. Thank you, love knowledge Yo, well,

Eddie Garcia, You're a humble sidekick, the voice of reason.
You're announcer guy, your news guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox.
The Canadians get a goal with one point one seconds
to play to edge the Canadians two to one. What
a game that was? At Ali from the Tirerack dot Com.
Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller and we'll pay
off the who Am I? Game in a minute, we
give us some more time to try to answer that.
(30:59):
Alex Vetchkin entering play with twenty three career regular season
goals at Oh, that's not it. That's a different one.
What is that? Here? Here is today? I think I
have I think that might be it here? Who Goofed?
I've got to know, all right, Since the start of
the twenty twenty NFL season, only Davante Adams has more
(31:22):
scrimmage touchdowns than me. And who am I? That is
the question? What's the answer. We'll get to the answer
coming up in a minute. Go to the phones. Anthony
in Anaheim is next? Hello? Anthony met meat loaf? Mallor
what's going on? Man? There are some big upsets in
the Bennis. I could have sworn that Jed was gonna
(31:42):
win Caller in the Year. Man, he totally got screwed. Well,
you were outspoken and you have very strong opinions, Anthony,
but the public has spoken and they do not agree
with your takes. They do not agree with your takes,
you know they. I know I could have sworn that
Andrea was going to win Worst Caller of the Year.
He's already the worst speaker. Why why do you hate
(32:03):
andres much. I don't understand. For a guy that's supposed
to be an educator, he can't even get the name
of the show right. He calls you, mister Mather, yeah,
and you don't think and then keep it there and
he's like, well, i'll defend a sexual abuser. It's no
big deal. Then, you know, mister Mather, it's no big deal.
(32:23):
He just he's just oblivious for a guy that's supposed
to be teaching this. Yeah, yeah, he's doing a horrible
job if he doesn't even know the night. He likes
calling the show, and I'm sure he calls a bunch
of other shows as well, and he's a big fan.
And when he gets irritated that I call him the
(32:44):
worst teacher in America, I love it. I can't lie.
And it makes me laugh. Yeah, you're excited about that.
It turns you out a little bit. You're like, hey,
I'm annoying this guy. I just I just love when
he's when he's so deep in the conversation, he says, oh,
thank you, mister Mather. I'm so happy to be part
of the Mather militia. It's great, you know, But I
(33:05):
Jed really got screwed. You know he didn't get screweduld
have been wasted. Color of the Year. The people voted.
They people demanded plaster. That's the guy they wanted. I'm
sure there wasn't any funny business going on, especially with
the host of the show doing a PSA for someone
(33:26):
in a category. Well, listen that that was. That was
a paid announcement. Hey, if I would have if Jed
who fled would have paid, I would have absolutely done
an endorsement for him. I'm open to anybody. What about
the cheating that was proven by that you do with
the marcel and food pigs. Don't you have a don't
(33:47):
you have an apology for for Eddie, for Justin? For me? No, well,
you admitted to it. I hang up with this guy.
You admitted to it and us to Swede? And is
it Swede and Minneapolis? I don't know sw all right,
that's is that his name? Sw Swad asked wud swd? Really,
(34:09):
what's your lead certificate? No? They called me that in
high school because I wasn't good at for anything, so
they called me a Swad. Oh you're my kind of guy.
I already like you. All right, what do you got
what do you got. Well, I'm hoping that I don't
(34:30):
wind up to be the worst caller of the year.
I know that's a lofty goal. But what I want
to talk about was Lamar Jackson and his agent, his mom.
How could you give up one hundred and thirty three
thousand guaranteed for three years when you would have to
(34:53):
pay an agent ten percent of that and now you
realistically you would have to get like fifty million a
year to realize that number, and then you are gonna
be a free agent again before year thirty. Isn't he
only twenty six? Yeah, if he got a three year conscience,
it's a little confusing because he did. He get the offer?
(35:16):
Is that what he wants? It's a it's very vague
that what he sent out Lamar Jackson, and it would
be easy to turn down one hundred and thirty three
thousand dollars. I'm sorry, that's all right. I knew what
I knew what you you know what I mean, I
knew what you mean. I'm just being a schmuck. I'm
just I'm just trying to annoy you. I'm trying to
one hundred and thirty three thousand would be good for me?
Is that right? Yeah? That was for a lot of
(35:38):
people in most of the country. That's a lot of
a lot of money. But you're a professional athlete. It's up,
so yeah, it is. I understand. Would you would you
be willing to sweating maybe Lamar's listening, maybe his mom's listening.
Would you be willing to be his agent? Uh? No, no,
you're turning? Why not you get a commission? Yeah, but
(36:00):
you don't want too much responsibility? Simple life, you know
it's easy money. All right? So what you gotta call me?
More offense? What? I like you? You're one of my guys.
What all right? You gotta become a regular. I want
you to be part of the show. Thank you? Swad
all right? I like that guy. All right, let's get
(36:20):
to the who am I? Games? It's the start of
the twenty twenty NFL season. Only Davante Adams has more
scrimmage touchdowns than me? Who am I? Just? Josh? Is
furg Dog Rookie call of the Year. That's a nice
photo of furg Dog that you got there. Alf the
Alien Opiners going with Scarlett Johansson. It's his answer. Mark

we have? Big Country Bryant Reeves guest by Shane in

Hello and welcome. It's our dumb bur one hour one
of the podcast, and before we tell you what's coming
up an hour one, a programming note. We need your help.
We are trying to expand the reach of this podcast.
Let people know, let people know it's it's word of
mouth advertising. Every once in a while I bring this up.
(00:21):
We have no ad budget. You're never gonna see a
billboard other than moving man Matt driving around on the
back of his rig. But other than that, we don't
have billboards or TV commercials or an elaborate internet marketing campaign.
We need you to spread the gospel about the radio
show to keep the audience growing. So we want you
to help us out. Tell a friend, tell an enemy,
(00:43):
Let's make sure they download the podcast. But here an
hour one. How do you make sense of the latest
news on Aaron Rodgers his list of demands for the Jets?
What do you make of the Jets working overtime to
accommodate said demands of Rodgers? And are the Jets really
going to be that much of a better team if
(01:06):
they pick up all these former cheesehead players that mister
Rogers would like. We'll discuss all of that and more
right now in our number one here it is one
man's wish list is another man's demands. Well come man,
the beginning of another edition of the Ben Maller Show.
(01:26):
We are in the air everywhere on the doorstep as
we fall in a gravy coast, stuck coast, border, the
border and beyond on the vast and emphatically powerful microphones
of fs are emanating live from the PLoP PLoP, fizz fizz. Oh,
(01:48):
what a relief it is The Ben Maller Show. We
are broadcasting live from the ti irac dot Com studios
ti irac dot com. We'll help you get there in
unmatched election, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended installers tirac dot com the way
tire buying should be. I hope Paul as well if
(02:10):
you were back at it again in our lead this hour,
coming from the supermarket sweep in free agency And did
Aaron Rodgers pick a new team? No, but it's all
about the latest stylings of mister Rogers neighborhood. Aaron Rodgers
has not made a decision, but number twelve currently of
(02:32):
the Cheeseheads for now, has been making some noise through surrogates.
Of course. Now, if you haven't been following along, and
even if you have, we're gonna give you a refresher. Course.
We are told that Aaron Rodgers has handed over to
the Jets what some are calling a wish list, others
are calling something totally different than a wish list, a
(02:54):
list of demands that he would like the Jets to
put on the roster, free agent sidings that he would
like acquired prior to him agreeing to sign off on
a trade. Now on that list, oh, B Jay O,
B Jack? Who else is on the list? What's on
(03:17):
the list? What's in the list? So also on the list,
we have a bunch of ex comrades of the Green
Bay Packers, Alan Lazard, Randall Cobb, and Marcedes Lewis. And
Lazard has already agreed to a contract. It's not signed yet,
but he agrees to a four year deal to go
to New York, the other New York team for forty
(03:39):
four million. Gang Green is working on Randall Cobb, who
was last effective several years ago, and Marcedes Lewis, who
is a blocking tight end. That's that's the list. Meanwhile,
Aaron Rodgers is expected to make some noise. Later today
when he hangs out with his favorite you tube influencer,
(04:01):
Pat McAfee, he will be making another paid appearance on
that show, and we imagine he will do the old dance.
Will there be an announcement? Will Rogers drag it out
and say I'm undecided? Still, I'm still waffling a little bit.
Inquiring minds would like to known today this our Wednesday show,
it's a big day because free agency has begun. Of course,
(04:23):
it really actually begin weeks ago, and you know how
that goes, all right, So let us discuss the question,
how do you make sense of the Aaron Rodgers list
of jets demands? So I've got Ikea, Coolio and Chrony capitalism,
and we will combine all of these three random things together.
(04:45):
We will throw them against the wall and we will
see what sticks. Now, Hey, Aaron Rodgers, listen, he's playing
the system. Hey, if you have the leverage, I work
in the radio business, and the person that gets the
great ratings in the morning and demand certain things that
the overnight hack can't get. That's just the reality, right,
(05:05):
And so how you sit back and you observe Aaron
Rodgers in his natural habitat, and he's gonna take this
to the eleventh hour. Wednesday is the eleventh hoar. He
might even go past the eleventh hour. The darkness retreat, Check,
introspection Check, popping up on random people we've never heard of,
(05:25):
who do wellness podcast check, Check Check, soul searching check.
Rogers has given here a master class on how to
handle leverage and how to drag this out. You know that,
and I know that he has decided that he hasn't
decided anything. He's not sure. Maybe I'll move, don't know,
(05:48):
I'm not sure. We'll think about it. Now. He wants
to supposedly go to Ikea. I guess you could say,
and pick out the furniture. He's thinking about moving, but
he doesn't like what's at the house. He has some
wants and needs. He would like the creature comforts. Grab
an Alan Lazard for the kitchen. You can put that
over there. You pick up a new sofa, Randall Cobb
(06:11):
of which you've had before, very comfortable sofa. You can
go to Marcedes Lewis there and that can be like
the bed set. And then I guess Odell Beckham would
be the entertainment system. If he's got anything left. That's
the plan. Right, that's the ticket, right there, that's the ticket. Now,
page two, what do you make of the Jets who
are bowing down, working overtime by all accounts, and reaching
(06:36):
a new low to accommodate Aaron Rodgers request. So what
do you make of the Jets working ot to accommodate Rogers.
So it is a high wire act and there is
no safety net. Have you looked at the Jets depth chart? Yes,
they gotta go back back to one of the three stooges. Well,
one of the stooges left in Miami. So what are
we looking at? Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco or quarterback X.
(07:00):
There is no safety unit. If you do not get Rogers,
you fall into Niagara Falls, do you understand? And in
their AirPods they are they're playing Coolio's Gangster's Paradise. Right.
This is a like Aaron Rodgers gang initiation. If you
want to be part of the Aaron Rodgers club, then
(07:21):
you have to first endure a ritual. It's like a negotiation,
a hosta negotiation. Rogers taking full advantage of what this
is what NBA players do. It's not normal in the NFL.
But Rogers has essentially given the Jets a ransom note,
and he would like his demands to be met. The
(07:42):
Jets already have hired a couple of his subordinates. Nathaniel Hackett,
the old Broncos stooge coach, he's now with the Jets.
We mentioned Alan Lazard agreeing to a contract to joint
New York. So it's up to the Packers, the Packers
to sign off on. But they, by all accounts, the
Packers are okay now that the Jets have to meet
(08:03):
the requirements and then the Packers will just bow down.
Some are saying this is going to drag out to
the NFL Draft, and we pray that that is not
the case. But if the Jets genuflect, and they're certainly
showing every indication they're willing to do that, if the
Jets get down and kiss the ring, they enter mister
Rogers neighborhood, it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a
(08:25):
beautiful day for a neighbor. Would you be mine? Could
you be mine? Won't you be my neighbor? That's what
they're singing right now. And Rogers, meanwhile, I was like, ah.
I'll sit back here and I'll hang out, and I'll meditate,
and I'll contemplate the time space continuum. I'll open up
a hookah lounge here with a ayahuasca side hustle over there,
(08:46):
and we'll see what happened all right, last we're here.
So are the Jets really going to be a better
team with all these former cheeseheads? So I'm shaking my head. No.
On the field, they'll be a more interesting team. They'll
be ready for prime time. But you're looking at a
group of washed up ballplayer. Randall Cobb hasn't been good
(09:10):
in several years. Marcedes Lewis is just a situational blocker
on his last legs, but he sung around forever. Odell Beckham,
who could not sign, would not sign last year even
though he wanted to because he missed the entire year
with an injury, hasn't played since that Ram Bengal Super Bowl.
And then you've got Alan Lazard, who's like a number
(09:31):
three receiver. And that is the price of admission. If
you would like to go behind the velvet ropes and
walk down the red carpet and sell a lot of
number twelve jerseys and created a lot of excitement and
buzz and headlines and tabloid fodder and all that. And
you look at the Jets depth chart, you're like, well,
Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore are on the depth chart
(09:55):
at receiver and they're both pretty good. So the Jets
are adding a third receiver in Lazard and a fourth
or fifth receiver receiver and Randall Cobb. Okay, but that's
what Aaron Rodgers wants. And then Odell Beckham. Where's Odell
Beckham in this? You gotta get rid of us, somebody.
There's too many people. There, too many people in the
wide receiver room. And we know how the receivers demand
(10:18):
the ball, Get me the damn ball. So Aaron Rodgers
is using the economic system called crony capitalism. He's taking
care of the people that have been loyal, the people
that have been in his dugout, and they're the loyal
foot soldiers. You know who's on team Rodgers. It's Mercedes Lewis,
(10:40):
Randall Cobb, Allan Lazard, that's the list, and possibly Odell Beckham,
although they've never worked together. Remember the Packers a couple
of years ago wanted Aaron Rodgers will wanted Beckham to
go to Green Bay, and beckhams like, I ain't gonna
I go to la I'm not going to Green Bay.
You kidding me? You think I want to hang out
in northern Wisconsin in the wintertime, I'll hang out in
the Hollywood Hills. It snows, but a different kind of
(11:02):
snow in the Hollywood Hills. That's where all hang out.
But it's Chrony Capitals means he's Aaron Rodgers, has the ability,
He's got the magic wand now to hand out golden
parachutes to take care of his guys, get them another contract,
an extra pay day. And these are essentially no show jobs,
paid gigs that require little to no work. Now, Lizard, sure,
(11:27):
he's gonna have to put some work in and possibly
Odell Beckham, but Randall Cobb and Marcedes Lewis he thinks,
not so much, not so much. Yeah, not not buying
that one. It is the Ben Maller Show. If you'd
like to come in on any of this or anything
else that has happened. It is an open phones across
America type situation, which usually means the same eight people
(11:48):
called but tomorrow we are gonna have not tonight but
we can do it tonight if you want, but officially
tomorrow will be a Newbie night. And we need to
do this more often. I say this all the time,
and then things get in the way and no one
reminds me. And so we will have newbie nights semi
regularly as we try to expand our horizons and bring
(12:09):
some new voices in. As opposed to the eight people
that call every single night, we know their whole life stories.
So we'll welcome to some new people. Eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six
sixty three six nine. After you're with us for the
full journey through the Red Eye flight, later on we'll
have Mallard of the third Degree. We'll have the Riddle
(12:32):
of the Day, cooking with Roberto too much or not
enough password, the word Game of the Stars, and whatever
else barks, whatever, whatever the dogs bark for, will do
that as well. So that's how that works. Eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. Also on Twitter at Ben
Maller and straight Ahead, has DeAndre Hopkins, who's currently with
(12:55):
the Arizona Cardinals. Has he found a trade partner? Is
there a trade brewing in the overnight hours that will
send DeAndre Hopkins to a new team. We will look
at the evidence. We'll get to that, and we will
do it next. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven
(13:16):

live from the Tireac dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Maller Chef and the Hughes Rights. And he
says a plus on the monologue Rogers could give diva
lessons to Madonna and Beyonce, he points out. Late night
gear Grinder says a plus on the Karen Rodgers soap Operate.
(14:00):
Its mind boggling that anyone would put up with his games.
If I was Woody, I would pull the plug on
that whole deal and say bye bye. Art Puffin writes
and you know it's big, a big night on the show.
When Art Puffin writes and he says, Yo, Ben, how
you doing? You really care? As we approach the end
(14:22):
of the Aaron Rodgers novel, we will turn to TB
twelve watch Hotcake from Art Puffin. He says, A rod
to the Jet s suck, suck, suck, and the g
O a t to the Miami Dolphins. How about that.
By the way, it's fins, not fish. Bad job by you.
(14:43):
When they win, they're the fins. When they lose the fish.
That's how that works. And good luck. We do need
another story to carry us through the rest of the offseason.
Will it be Tom Brady sightings working out? It's always fun.
Tom Brady was splanted working out, which means he's going
to come back and for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Eugene
(15:03):
in Chicago rights and he says, Aaron Rogers, Wednesday decision day,
Lamar Jackson, get yourself an agent immediately. Wednesday is negotiating
day for your services. Also, yeah, we'll have more on
Lamar later as well. I know you're excited about that.
Buckle up, hold on, no, Stredinus rites and he says,
perfect scenario for Aaron Rodgers as he flames out with
(15:26):
the Jets and ends his career with the Vikings, leading
them to the brink of the Super Bowl, only to
blow it with a game losing interception. I feel like
no Stredinas has seen this script before, that this is
not his first rodeo with that, and life just repeats itself, right,
that's we learned that as we get older, that things
(15:46):
just happened, that the actors on the stage change, but
the events are the same or basically the same. There
is a rumor being floated around that Aaron Rodgers could
just move along from football, and wouldn't that be great?
Oh God, if he announced his retirement on Wednesday and
said I've decided they don't really want to play because
(16:07):
the Jets did not decide to sign Odell Beckham or
some ridiculous thing like that, How great would that be?
My God? Would that be wonderful? And the Jets would
be bamboozle just like the Broncos were, although even worse
than the Broncos. Like the Broncos, hired Nathaniel Hackett for
one reason, the guy can't coach his way out of
a wet paper bag. But they hired him because they
(16:29):
thought they were getting here in Rodgers. We know that
didn't happen. And now the Jets they've gone out and
picked up Alan Lazard, They've got Hackett on the coaching staff,
and they're working their way through these other players. Nick
the Windy's Guy writes in also a big night if
Nick the Windy's Guy writes, and he says, do you
think Purdue has what it takes to win the whole tournament?
(16:50):
I'm gonna go thumbs down on that, Nick, And two
bags of chicken nuggets as well. Your phee me writes
in and says, not spice regular nuggets with the barbecue sauce.
Japhemie says four out of four magic mushrooms. On the
opening monologue, Rogers left a note in a Wisconsin cornfield.
Dear Jets, if you're reading this, you've gotten out, and
(17:14):
if you've come this far, maybe you are willing to
come a little further. You remember the name of the town,
don't you. Yeah? All right, very good, And there are
some people very upset that we are continuing our in
depth team coverage of Aaron Rodgers. Devon writes and He says,
Aaron Rodgers is only relevant because gas bags and blowhards
(17:35):
in the media keep talking about his over raided Diva
Prima Donna w rectum. Devon's fired up. He says, if
absolutely everyone ignored him, he might absolutely probably or might
possibly probably return to obscurity. Well that's a that's an
(17:56):
interesting point, might rebuttal Devon on this side of the
microphone is you are listening to a broadcast. It's broadcasting.
It's not narrowcasting. Right. We play the hits, mo Man,
play the hits, and for better or worse, and I'm
certainly leaning towards worse. We are here to react to
what's going on on the sporting world. And Aaron Rodgers,
(18:18):
whether you like it or not, moves the needle. And
we can't sit here and talk about people that don't
move the needle, because then it turns into a bad
situation for you, for me, and the whole thing. Understand Comprende,
All right, yeah, we're all on the same page on that.
All right, very good? So what about this DeAndre Hopkins story?
Do we have something brewing? Has it been leaked? Is
(18:40):
the cat out of the social media bag? DeAndre Hopkins
steroid cheat for the Arizona Cardinals, and he looks like
he's gonna be traded. He would like to be traded
by all accounts, and the Cardinals looking to accommodate him
as the new league gear begins later today on Wednesday.
And so DeAndre hop in a interesting back and forth. Now,
(19:04):
I never thought when I was a young guy getting
into radio that I would have to be an emoji expert.
But that's what's required. It's part of the skill set
to have this job. You've got to be really good
at reading emojis. You don't have to read the room,
you have to read emojis. So I present to you
Dallas Cowboy linebacker Micah Parsons, who said in a cryptic post,
(19:24):
it's about time with not one, but three I emojis.
Three I emojis looking down until the right m well.
I then present to you more evidence. DeAndre Hopkins responded
(19:44):
to the Cowboys star outspoken linebacker Michael Parsons, saying it's
about time with the I emoji times three. He responded
with a man shrugging emoji. Oh m jake, a man
shrugging emoji. That's a sign. That is a sign we
got a deal in the works. We got it. Micah
(20:06):
Parsons broke the forget Blazer and schefter Micah Parsons NFL
Insider with I emojis this is something. This is big.
And the Cowboys if they're nothing of note. I know
they made a few minor moves on Tuesday, but those
aren't moves that shake it up. And DeAndre Hopkins would
(20:30):
absolutely shake it up in the Cowboys. They got rid
of Amari Cooper before last season. The wide receivers were
not particularly great. We all know that Dak Prescott is
not going to make players around him better. He needs
great players to stay above water there, so that would
make sense. But is that a sign. I think it is.
(20:52):
I believe we've got something. It's a nice social media tease. Yeah.
Justin in Cincinnati writes, and he says, I hope Aaron
Rodgers retires in the morning so Jason Smith can get
back to being very emotional. He said some other stuff
as well, but I think he meant just very emotional.
That's what he meant by that. Robin Vegas is breaking
(21:14):
news Marcel. Marcel and I will be debuting a brand
new game in place of food picks. It's very exciting
and you're welcome. Bagel Boy, writes in from Kansas City,
says extraordinary monologue. Ben Rogers is channeling his inner Leafraud
James and posing as player coach and GM And we
(21:36):
thought Brett Farve was it diva? Well, the divas get better,
the evolved. The evolution of the diva, you get to
the next level, the higher plane of diva. It's what
you gotta do. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven

reports by Adam Schefter at ESPN that he turned down
a twenty million dollar fully guaranteed contract by the Ravens
back in September two. If it was twenty million, it
would be easy to turn new. Oh yes, please add
another zero in there. Two hundred million work. No, you
(22:45):
would never do that. He apparently Lamar Jackson tweeted that
he turned down a three year, one hundred and thirty
three million dollars fully guaranteed. Is that what he meant?
Or is that what he so? I guess he was
touching up Adam Schefter's work. I don't know it was.
It was cryptic, is like I'd signed Lamar Jackson to
a three year, one hundred and thirty three million dollar contract.
There's only three years. That's a big deal. Not my money,
(23:07):
Who cares? I think Lamar was saying he wasn't agreeing
to that, though. Oh I thought he's like threw it out.
I don't know how did you get that out of
what he said? He just kind of vaguely tossed it out.
He said, I don't need an agent like I got,
or no agent and I got one hundred and thirty
three million or something like that. I don't know anyway,
(23:28):
it is the Ben Mallers Show. As we continue on

(23:48):
hello to Paul in Rhode Island, a winner, a Benny
Award winner, is on the line right now to pick
up his Benny Award. We welcome in our friend, Paul,
Red Breast, Paul plastered Paul. Congratulations, Faull, you won the
(24:11):
popular vote. Thank you so much, Ben Malla. I guess
you can. You don't have to be on popping beans, oh,
smoking a bag of skunky weed, or enjoying a nice
bottle of red Breast after sixteen hours of work. But
(24:33):
at four thirty eight last night, I heard you, and
I thank you, and I honor you. Okay, well, thank you,
and we demand a speech. You were named. You beat
a very competitive field. You beat legends like Jed who
flayed and the Black Irishman in Omaha, and so many
others our friend in Nashville as one of the final nominees.
(24:56):
There wait Joey and Nashville wasted caller of the plastered Paul,
I demand a speech. Who would you like to thank
for this? Paul? Uh? Yes, I'm gonna have to thank
Jed who fled. That was the closest one, you know.
But you know what, I did not expect. That did
not expect. Uh. You know some points on on on
(25:19):
anything on NFL football. But I will say this, Uh,
I thank you for your your crew. But the reason
I called is that we hold on, hold on, hold on?
How could you not think red breast? My red breast
is on my side. If there's anyone to think a
(25:43):
message in the bottle I have for you is uh?
I polished sixteen hours a day, and when it's time
to call you, I call you. When I'm in my home,
I call you. Isn't that good? Yes? So I like
to question. That's how you do? You ask yourself a question,
you answer it. I do it all the time. And
(26:04):
so now that red breast is that? How old is that? Like?
What how old is the body of twelve stage? Twelve years?
That's a twelve year aged Red Breast, the greatest whiskey
one can have. When did you fall in love with your? Question? No?
When did you question? No? When did you fall in
love with the red breast? Uh? Since my son got married?
(26:28):
Oh so not that long ago. No, I was introduced
to the wedding body. Anyway, can we get back to basics?
Do you all be a case of because I won?
Do you all me a case of jewel bledsaw wine? No,
that ain't gonna happen right. Well, you get not one,
(26:50):
but two golden tickets, so I want to congratulate you
on that. You are also celebrated by the Mallar Militia
and Eddie Garcia. If you come to La Eddie will
give you a backrupt. Well, I have to go to
where my family owned sixty sixty thousand dairy cows, which
should be in a San Diego area at this and cousin.
But that's okay. What can I get back to basics?
(27:13):
We have a problem. We have a problem in the NFL.
These thirty year old quarterbacks won't swallow their pride. They
won't hold a clipboard. The talent that's coming out right now,
it's amazing. Okay, So this Rogers, guy as a football who,
(27:35):
guy that loves football. I love to watch him. I
really don't want him in my division, but I'm gonna
tell you he's got his puppies to come in his division. Okay, Now,
all these thirty year old quarterbacks went to a fitted
suit team. Brady did it? Stafford did it? Now? Do
(27:56):
you think that Rogers going to a high market team
like New York is going to change a factor in
the AFC? The AFC period? Now, Lamar Jackson, let me
let me. He didn't even let me answer. How rude
is that? You ask a question? Allot me answer the question?
What's wrong with you? Didn't you? Manners? You think I'm
(28:21):
gonna cut you? Why would I cut you off? I
don't know, because you never know. With you, you're so
paranoid that I'm gonna cut you. Why are you so paranoid?
You should not be so paranoid. Come on, Paul, com down.
When are you working? When are you working next? So
I know next time you're gonna call? What's your schedule?
I need to know your schedule. Okay, I'll call u
four o'clock on on Thursday. Oh so back wow, back
(28:46):
to back and belly to belly. How how lucky are we? Why?
Because here's the deal, the way, the way they're doing.
How the hell does uh cargo to New Orleans because
of the religious into whatever you want to call it, Yes,
because of religion. He's into voodoo and he wanted to
go play. Come on, all right, all right, I gotta
(29:06):
go call me tomorrow. I gotta go. Thank you. I
gave him a lot of time. I didn't hang up
on him right away. I still can't believe he did
not think redbreast. I mean, that's really what made him.
I know what do what he drank before snub? I
have no idea before his son got married. So that
means like he lived a long time and did not
drink the red breast blowing up the phone. Here's the
(29:28):
who am I game? This is where we pretend to
be somebody else less we call it who am I? Game?
Who since the since becoming the star of the twenty
or actually, let me rephrase that bad job by me,
I think I'm drinking the redbreast since the start of
the twenty twenty NFL season. There you go, if you
could speak angers that way up since the start of
(29:49):
the twenty twenty NFL season, only Davante Adams has more
scrimmage touchdowns than me. Who am I? Again, Since the
start of the twenty twenty NFL season, only Davante Adams
has more scrimmage touchdowns than me. Who am I? I
will tell you that will take some calls as well,
and we will do it next. Thank you, love knowledge Yo, well,

a game that was? At Ali from the Tirerack dot Com.

off the who Am I? Game in a minute, we

(30:59):
Alex Vetchkin entering play with twenty three career regular season
goals at Oh, that's not it. That's a different one.
What is that? Here? Here is today? I think I
have I think that might be it here? Who Goofed?
I've got to know, all right, Since the start of
the twenty twenty NFL season, only Davante Adams has more
(31:22):
scrimmage touchdowns than me. And who am I? That is
the question? What's the answer. We'll get to the answer
coming up in a minute. Go to the phones. Anthony
in Anaheim is next? Hello? Anthony met meat loaf? Mallor
what's going on? Man? There are some big upsets in
the Bennis. I could have sworn that Jed was gonna
(31:42):
win Caller in the Year. Man, he totally got screwed. Well,
you were outspoken and you have very strong opinions, Anthony,
but the public has spoken and they do not agree
with your takes. They do not agree with your takes,
you know they. I know I could have sworn that
Andrea was going to win Worst Caller of the Year.
He's already the worst speaker. Why why do you hate
(32:03):
andres much. I don't understand. For a guy that's supposed
to be an educator, he can't even get the name
of the show right. He calls you, mister Mather, yeah,
and you don't think and then keep it there and
he's like, well, i'll defend a sexual abuser. It's no
big deal. Then, you know, mister Mather, it's no big deal.
(32:23):
He just he's just oblivious for a guy that's supposed
to be teaching this. Yeah, yeah, he's doing a horrible
job if he doesn't even know the night. He likes
calling the show, and I'm sure he calls a bunch
of other shows as well, and he's a big fan.
And when he gets irritated that I call him the
(32:44):
worst teacher in America, I love it. I can't lie.
And it makes me laugh. Yeah, you're excited about that.
It turns you out a little bit. You're like, hey,
I'm annoying this guy. I just I just love when
he's when he's so deep in the conversation, he says, oh,
thank you, mister Mather. I'm so happy to be part
of the Mather militia. It's great, you know, But I
(33:05):
Jed really got screwed. You know he didn't get screweduld
have been wasted. Color of the Year. The people voted.
They people demanded plaster. That's the guy they wanted. I'm
sure there wasn't any funny business going on, especially with
the host of the show doing a PSA for someone
(33:26):
in a category. Well, listen that that was. That was
a paid announcement. Hey, if I would have if Jed
who fled would have paid, I would have absolutely done
an endorsement for him. I'm open to anybody. What about
the cheating that was proven by that you do with
the marcel and food pigs. Don't you have a don't
(33:47):
you have an apology for for Eddie, for Justin? For me? No, well,
you admitted to it. I hang up with this guy.
You admitted to it and us to Swede? And is
it Swede and Minneapolis? I don't know sw all right,
that's is that his name? Sw Swad asked wud swd? Really,
(34:09):
what's your lead certificate? No? They called me that in
high school because I wasn't good at for anything, so
they called me a Swad. Oh you're my kind of guy.
I already like you. All right, what do you got
what do you got. Well, I'm hoping that I don't
(34:30):
wind up to be the worst caller of the year.
I know that's a lofty goal. But what I want
to talk about was Lamar Jackson and his agent, his mom.
How could you give up one hundred and thirty three
thousand guaranteed for three years when you would have to
(34:53):
pay an agent ten percent of that and now you
realistically you would have to get like fifty million a
year to realize that number, and then you are gonna
be a free agent again before year thirty. Isn't he
only twenty six? Yeah, if he got a three year conscience,
it's a little confusing because he did. He get the offer?
(35:16):
Is that what he wants? It's a it's very vague
that what he sent out Lamar Jackson, and it would
be easy to turn down one hundred and thirty three
thousand dollars. I'm sorry, that's all right. I knew what
I knew what you you know what I mean, I
knew what you mean. I'm just being a schmuck. I'm
just I'm just trying to annoy you. I'm trying to
one hundred and thirty three thousand would be good for me?
Is that right? Yeah? That was for a lot of
(35:38):
people in most of the country. That's a lot of
a lot of money. But you're a professional athlete. It's up,
so yeah, it is. I understand. Would you would you
be willing to sweating maybe Lamar's listening, maybe his mom's listening.
Would you be willing to be his agent? Uh? No, no,
you're turning? Why not you get a commission? Yeah, but
(36:00):
you don't want too much responsibility? Simple life, you know
it's easy money. All right? So what you gotta call me?
More offense? What? I like you? You're one of my guys.
What all right? You gotta become a regular. I want
you to be part of the show. Thank you? Swad
all right? I like that guy. All right, let's get
(36:20):
to the who am I? Games? It's the start of
the twenty twenty NFL season. Only Davante Adams has more
scrimmage touchdowns than me? Who am I? Just? Josh? Is
furg Dog Rookie call of the Year. That's a nice
photo of furg Dog that you got there. Alf the
Alien Opiners going with Scarlett Johansson. It's his answer. Mark
(36:41):

with multiple answers. You can only have one one per customer.
Dana got it right, bad job there. Who else do
we have? Big Country Bryant Reeves guest by Shane in
Des Moines, Sean in the Valley of This Son going
with Fred Taylor as his answer. Cowboy Killer says it
(37:05):
has to be the Church Lady. Well, isn't that special?
Robbie the Mariner fan going with iconic nineteen nineties Boston
Red Sox Phil Plantier a very unique batting stance. If
you're of the proper age, you mimicked Phil Plantier's batting stance.
Who else do we have? Jazelle Bunchen from the Dixter
parody account, The Honky Tonk Man guess by Rob in Vegas,
(37:28):
Page Down, Brian Urlacher from from Fur Dog, Steve Yeager

the seventies from mister nice guy, Eddie, Do you have
an answer? Eddie's very important, Eddie, I know it is,
and I have a serious answer. Former Cleveland Brown's wide receiver.
Reggie Langhorne, Oh, Regie Langhorn, great name. Also keeping on
with Webster Slaughter but no. The correct answer is Austin Eckler,
