Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka laka.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our dumb three, our number three. And we go
to the blank spot on the bingo card in Pittsburgh
on this Friday, the twenty third day of May, where Steelers'
owner Aren't Rooney says that they are willing to wait
quote a little while longer for Aaron Rogers. Is this

(00:24):
the right move for the Steelers? We are almost into
the month of June. Training camp starts in July. Also,
how did the Steelers find themselves in a holding pattern
for a forty one year old Aaron Rodgers?

Speaker 1 (00:36):
How do you end up in that situation? We'll take
a look at that again.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
And if Aaron Rodgers is committed to stepping away for
personal reasons, then why not make that clear. Rogers didn't
tell his bff Joe Rogan why he's been away, but
why not make that clear from the start instead of
dragging out speculation around signing with the Steelers.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
We'll discuss that.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
And is Bear's coach Ben Johnson wright to call out
the Eagles toush push or is this just salty noise.
We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
It is our number three. So you're saying there's a chance.
You're saying, there is a chance. Wel come in the

(01:21):
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show, as
we are in the air everywhere beside one another, as
we rock the rim with a two handed power jam
coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
vast and epically powerful microphones of FSR, amminating live from

(01:47):
the hammer as we hammer away. The Hot Sports takes
to the wee hours of the morning from the Fox
Sports Radio studios, which are approved by Anthony in Anaheim.
He's been to the Fox Sports Radio studios. He also
loves ti Iraq and for over forty years, ty Iraq

the way tire buying shout be so dayline, NFL owner meetings,

(02:35):
league meetings, post mortem, post mortem on that. So we'll
go to the neighborhood, mister Rogers. Neighborhood, mister Rogers, neighborhood.
We circle back for our obligatory malar monologue on everyone's
favorite unemployed quarterback. So, if you've not heard the latest
on this, we are. If you look at your your

(02:56):
phone or you know the dates today, it's almost we're
not that far away from June.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
June is right around the bend.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
We're gonna be in the month of June, and then
after June comes July, and then July's training camp, and
then in early August the games begin preseason exhibition and
then before you know it, the real games will start
in the NFL. So many many people wondering what the
f is going on in Pittsburgh, Why are they not
done anything. We have a couple of updates and the

(03:26):
consensus continues to be that the people who are in
the know, remember the consensus is often wrong, but they
still are saying that everything is pointing towards Aaron Rogers
eventually signing the DOCU sign with the INSIS, but the
Steelers continue to wait and owner aren't Rooney addressed this

(03:49):
ongoing boondoggle with the former MVP. Rooney said, the team
is going to wait a little longer. He said it
again at the NFL league meetings there Minnesota, and Aaron
Rodgers has spoken.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
In his latest interview with podcaster.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Joe Rogan, Aaron Rodgers revealing what is going on, why
he is not signed with the Steelers or anyone else
in the NFL, what's going on in.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
His personal life.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Rogers said that multiple people in his life are dealing
with very serious illnesses, including cancer. So he's got that
going on and that's taking a toll on Aaron Rodgers,
and he talked, I have not heard this. I'm hearing
the second hand. I've not listened to this Joe Rogan thing.
But supposedly he talked about treating the cancer with non

(04:42):
conventional treatments on the podcast. We hope he does not
call Doc Mike in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
We don't know if he will or not.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
But anyway, he offered no certain timetable Rogers did for
whether or not he will sign with an NFL team, like, say,
the Pittsburgh seis you seem focus on the other stuff.
So how about we dive into all this that seems
like something that would be good to do.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
We'll do a belly whopper.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
So the question, we'll start with the Steelers part of
this We'll start with the.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Football part because we're a sporty show.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Sporty malord, get ready, buckle up, sporty Mallard. So question,
Steelers owner Art Rooney says that they are willing to
wait quote a little while longer post quote for Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Is this the right move for the Steelers.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
So I've got Bromance, Rhodes scholar, and Morton's and.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
We will combine all.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Of these things together and we are going to run
the gauntlet.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
We're gonna run. I don't like running. We're gonna run
the goblet. Here we go.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
All right, First of all, it's not the right move, right,
it's not the right move. It is literally the only
move that you can make. You know, how you get
boxed into a corner. This is the only move the
Steelers know that the four. Even if Rogers decides he
does not want to play, if Rogers decides he wants
to retire and he wants to hunt for Bigfoot in

(06:09):
the woods while having a lot of hallucinogenic drugs or whatever,
the Steelers know they're gonna win nine games.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Like the worst they can do is go nine and eight.
That's the worst. So if they have to roll out
Mason Rudolph, the red nose.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Quarterback, and Will Howard, the mid round Ohio State quarterback.
Will Howard to handle the steps. Now, fine, but how
did the Steelers find themselves in a holding pattern for
a forty plus.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Year old Aaron Rodgers?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
And after a thorough deliberation, I've determined the reason is
because of the bromance.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Mike Tomlin looked at the menu. He saw all the.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Available quarterbacks, all of them, every single one of them,
and that's the one. He highlighted, Airin Rogers.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Relax. Uh, yeah, he hand picked Rogers out of the hopper.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Didn't want Russell Wilson, mister mister unlimited, wanted nothing to
do with Justin Fields. Once you get a front row
seat to Justin Fields, you're like, I ain't that good.
And then he looked around. There were some other quarterbacks
that were available on the market, and he didn't want.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Any of them.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
None of the other quarterbacks, none of them wedded the
appetite of Mike Tomlin. And so now they have enjoyed
a strategic pause, and they sit and wait, and they're
still playing matchmaker with Rogers, and they're still just waiting
around times of wasting and they figure they must have

(07:52):
some kind of date in their in their head and
they're willing to do it.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Then you got to believe this is.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Being driven by Tomlin, and Tomlin does have a history
of allowing players a lot of leeway. Technically, Rogers is
not a Steelers employee, and so what are you gonna
burst into song over this?

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I mean, what are you gonna do? Is it's extreme.
They've decided to go extreme. They're right, all right? Not
page two. So if let's address the Komodo.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Dragon in the room here. So if Aaron Rodgers and
he did tell Joe Rogan, the reason that he's going
through some things here is involving health of people in
his circle that are not doing well.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
They're very sick, including including the cancer.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
So if Aaron Rodgers is committed to stepping away and
it's his opportunity with personal stuff going on, why would
you just not make that clear from Jump Street from start?

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Just let everyone know instead of giving these vague clues
and dragging.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Out the speculation and signing eventually, you know, maybe you
signed with the Steelers, but you just dragging everyone.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
So the reason that Rogers is doing this and I've.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Got my shrink hat on a place psychologist on the
radio step into my office. So that is how mister
Rogers rolls, going back to his days at cal For
better or worse, he has gotten over his life a
Rhodes scholarship and being an attention wore. It flows having

(09:35):
sick people in your world. We've all most of us
have been through it. Depending how old you are, it
is part of the circle of life. Now.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
I don't know who's sick with Rogers. He didn't say.
As far as I know, he didn't say any names.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
I thought he was a strange from his family, but
he's probably got friends that he considers family and all that.
And it's a relatable situation, I mean how I relate
to it. If you've been with the show a long time,
you know both my parents have crossed over the Pearly
gates there. My mom had had the cancer, and she
was sick for many years. She had three different forms

(10:08):
of cancer before she checked out. And yet I still
did the talk show. We still had to do the show.
And the things you end up compartmentalizing, and you've likely
been through it too. You listening have been through it
and you have to compartmentalize the personal and the professional

(10:28):
stuff that goes on. And now I do realize the
difference is rather obvious that I need the money, right,
and things are different for Rogers. He's got what we
call a freedom fund. And when you have a freedom fund,
you can splash around do whatever you want. You got
when you're worth two hundred million dollars two hundred million dollar,
at least you've got the kind of cushion where if

(10:53):
you fall down, your tooks feels so good because you're
on that nice padded pillow with the feathers in it
and the whole thing, and so you can do things
on your own terms. Right, So we'll see where this goes.
It still is pointing towards Pittsburgh and Rogers. I guess
he wants another What can he take?

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Another month?

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Are we going to get to July first? So like
a month and a few days and then Rogers will
announce where he's going on our final fuck, I want
to go back for some hot tush talk, all right,
we'll go back to the touch bush one more time.
So I saw this quote going around. It caught my
attention and I want to get into it.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
With you.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
So, when asked about the tush push by the Chicago media,
the Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson, he claimed that
he favors explosive plays, saying, quote, does it become an
explosive play?

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Ever? Talking about the toush push?

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Have you ever seen this is the Bears coach, have
you ever seen a tush push become an explosive play.
I like explosive plays. I like big place. So I'm
not a big tush push guy myself. Close quote it's
the head coach of your Chicago Bears.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Question.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Is Ben Johnson right to essentially call out the value
of the tush push?

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Or is he just being salty?

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Now?

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Is it just salty noise from Ben Johnson? So?

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I have determined, based on a thorough review of the
available evidence.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
This is Morton's. It's Morton's kosher salt, is what it is.
This is an alarm BELLOOO. That's just what it sounds like.
This is just a testoo. That is an alarm bell. Now.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
I didn't play in the NFL, and I'm not coaching
the NFL, but I've advised every NFL team via microphones
and headphones for many, many years if a play works
ninety nine point seven percent center of the time. Okay,
if play works ninety nine point seven percent of the time,
in my world, that is the definition the embodiment of

(13:08):
an explosive play.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
What do I know? I just do the Overnight show.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
But like it's not about the style, Like is there
a lot of rasma tash to the tousch, pushnol.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Results results based business. And if Ben Johnson doesn't know that,
I know he's trying to be the cool guy and
all that. He's worried about how it looks.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
But you're supposed to look at what works and what
leads to victory. And I would also argue playing psychologist
here that the Bears coach. I've heard him interviewed a
few times now, and this is one of these guys
who thinks he's God's gift to offensive football. He sees
himself as the offensive dynamo that he's He's the real

(13:48):
brains behind what the Lions did. Ben Johnson, now he's
in Chicago, He's going to turn around the.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Sad sack Bears and all that.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
But I would say, rather than goof on the Birds play,
I was coaching the Chicago Bears. If I'm in charge
with the Chicago Bears, what I do is I become
a cat. Now what kind of cat? Copycat? Copycat, That's
what I would do. I would copy with the Bears
to do it. Now. The problem, and there's really no
work around for the Chicago Bears. The smart money says

(14:17):
it would be impossible for the Bears to run the
Toush push with their quarterback. Kayla Williams would not do it.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Just you gotta have some toughness to run it the
right way. And Jalen Hurts.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
He's not the greatest quarterback in the world, but he
is a tough blankety blank. I'll give him that right.
He can get pretty much torn to bits and come
back and do it again. CAYLEB Williams is the kind
of quarterback where you don't want to have his painted
nails messed up, Right, I have to go out and
get another manicure and all. That'd be a big problem.
So the Bears also the other issue here the Bears

(14:52):
have and this is another reason they should be a
Toush push team even though they can't. The Bears at
this point are not a dome team that my family
should Cogo s. There's all the rumors are they're going
to move out to the suburbs, build a dome and
all that, just like the Vikings have become a dome
team for many many years, and the Lions and all that.
But anyway, the Bears are not a dome team right
now as we do the show today, and last I checked,

(15:14):
if you've in Chicago, if you've ever been to Chicago
in like December, even usually November, parts of November, the
December and January on the shores of Lake Michigan, there
at Soldier Field, it gets a little chilly, little chili
chili willy a little bit, a little bit there. So
January football not about explosive plays, Is that correct? Is

(15:37):
that an accuracatement Unless you're in a dome, unless you're
a don't be that. Explosive plays are essentially neutered. They're
certainly neutered in the playoffs. But January football bad weather.
Usually you've got really bitter cold, sometimes wind, occasionally rain, snow,
all of that. Those type of games are won with physicality,

(16:01):
won with the offensive line dominating at the point of
contact in the trenches. And I'll use an example another
offensive maestro who's much better than Ben Johnson will ever be.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Sean McVay with.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
The La Rams, knowing you can ram it all day
and you can ram it all night. Sean McVay when
he took over, he got to a Super Bowl. He
had a very soft team, very soft football team. The
Rams were a soft team, and he realized that over
the years that this team's getting pushed around, their typical
dome soft West Coast team.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
And so they got some toughness.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
And that Philadelphia Eagle team that won the Super Bowl
this past year, the toughest game they had, the game
that almost did him in the La Rams because they
were a tough team. They were a physical team last year.
And it sounds like Ben Johnson in Chicago is more
worried about explosive plays than just successful plays. And you

(17:00):
know he wants to have the x's and o's and
drop these wild plays and good luck, good luck.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we are.

You can answer this on X at Ben Maller. Forty
nine Ers quarterback brock Perty foolishly was given one hundred
and eighty one million dollars guaranteed. He revealed recently after

(18:04):
he agreed to that contract that he plans to splurge
and there's one thing he's looking to get, he says.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
After getting the big contract.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Brock Purty plans to buy a blank. He says he's
wanted this since he was a kid. Again, brock Party
revealed that after he got his one hundred and eighty
one million dollar contract, he plans to splurge and buy
a blank that he has wanted since he was a kid.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
We go to football where brock perty he got paid
that money get your paper, as Marshaun Lynch used to say,
you got paid. He got paid so forty nine a
quarterback block party. At least he's gonna get one hundred
and eighty one million guaranteed. Pretty good when you're an
average quarterback to get a hundred eighty one million, I
would say, just saying, just putting that out.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
So one hundred and eighty one million guaranteed.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
And he says he plans to splurge kind of this
one thing that he wants to buy. He wants to
buy a blank that he says he has wanted since
he was a kid. And he's gonna go out and
buy it right now, do it.

Speaker 1 (21:31):

Speaker 2 (22:50):

bicycle with training wheels a county in Iowa from Eke.

Speaker 1 (23:03):

(23:39):
brock Party would like to buy a copy of Ben
Johnson's playbook. Very explosive like diarrhea, Die die diarrhea. Justin
says something that he actually would like he wanted since

else do we have?

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Buy a vowel from Trucker Joe, you gotta have a
fall guy and man Well from Guardina is back and
we love that. Manuel, as Becky says, wants to buy
brock Purty an entire set of Star Wars action figures,
a Red Rider BB gun from Mark.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
That's his answer.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
A life size stitched doll that's from supermarket Steve JJ cheated.
He got it right, So I'm not gonna count that
a green machine from JT the wing men. All right,
I can keep going. We got I got endless amounts

Speaker 1 (24:32):
I think he bought a horse and carriage Ben a
horse in care. Is that the correct answer?

Speaker 3 (24:41):
No?

Speaker 2 (24:41):
No.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Brock Purty said that he would like to buy a
nice bass fishing.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Boat's fishing boat, So that means he's gonna have to
go go to the boat show.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
You gotta go the boat show. I'm on set line
and it's going fast. And have you ever owned a boat?

Speaker 2 (25:06):
No?

Speaker 4 (25:07):
No, but I didn't date a guy who owned a boat.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Oh look at you, you're that's a flex right there.
But everyone I know, I've known people that have owned boats.
I've known people that have lived on boats in the
marina and the universe. Like the line, the cliche is
the two greatest days is a boat owner the day
you buy the boat and the day you sell the boat.
And normally the selling the boat more exciting than the

(25:30):
buying of the boat because they're very.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Expensively upkeep on that cool.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
I I'd be nice to have a boat. But then
you realize, like the weather's good. How many days a
year is the weather really good when you want to
get out there? Yeah, and then every time you take
it out on the water, it like deteriorates because water
destroys everything it touches. Yeah, and a lot of people
just leave their boats in the water. So then the
boat's just sitting there, rotting in the water. The barnacles

(25:57):
are eating.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
At the boat and the whole thing. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
So but hey, if you got that kind of fu money,
if you got one hundred and eighty one million, you're
not worried about that. That's a regular person's problem. That's
a regular person's problem to have those kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
At that point, you don't get a boat. You get
a you get a yacht.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yeah, be nice, man, like where we are here in
La have a boat. Go out to Catalina on the weekend,
go you know, down to Sandy, go up the coast.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Be nice, right you solid.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Oh, if you had the money to have a yacht,
that's that's just that's the ultimate flex And then you know,
like you don't have to worry about like the boat
deteriorating because you have a whole like team of people
that takes care of the yacht.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
No, no, what you do is like, wasn't it Floyd
Mayweather never wore the same underwear or shirts. He just
would wear them once and when the boat wears out,
you just buy another boat because you got that kind
of money, you know.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
So it's like you don't worry about the two best
days of your life as a boat owner being the
day you buy it and the day you sell it.
All right, Ben Maller show, we got lame jokes coming
up later this hour.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
We're gonna take some calls. Prior to that, we had
another dud of an NBA game. It's Minnesota unable to
play the entire game. They get run off the court
there in the third quarter and go very well from them.
Let's go back to the phones, and Poppy in San Diego,
who probably said a prayer for Scott Foster in that
NBA game, is probably devastated by the hell.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
Poppy, Okay, that was a great game today with stock
bonsor did you have skitt in that game? Ben Maller,
did you bet on the thunder?

Speaker 1 (27:23):
I did not bet on that game.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
I did well, well, bad job.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
On you are?

Speaker 5 (27:27):
Fun fact right? Uh, Lorena, you canna hit the fun
fact music. Okay, sorry that was a cute, but.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
You didn't get it.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
I can't hit it because it's not a Ben mallor
fun facts.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, I'm the only one.

Speaker 5 (27:39):
He's my mentor. You don't mind, how Ben.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
You don't mind? Right now?

Speaker 1 (27:42):
I thought you were. I think you had a different
mentor's like a tennis broadcast.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
Well, no, you're my big mentor. I always show you
big love on everyone.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
You just you're just saying that, you're just saying that.

Speaker 5 (27:51):
Oh no, but anyways, here's a fun faction. Sorenda's not
going to do it. A bad job on her and
maybe good things.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Should them offt then no, no, anyway, that's up to you.
If you want your turn turn off, you can do that.

Speaker 5 (28:04):
Well anyways, but I was gonna tell you the fun
fact that, Uh, just say it.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Just say the fun fight. Just say it. Don't tell
me you're gonna do it, do it. Just say it.
Say the fun fact. Say the damn fun fact.

Speaker 5 (28:19):
Say Scott Foster's pouring on the playoffs. Next time you
guys see Scott Foster bet on the whole team, whatever
the spread, we made that money, blank bling and I
know you guys want to make money. I gotta bet
for you guys. The Dodgers now looking too good, Ben Man,
are saying against the next perfect situation minus one seven team,
that is a bargain, that that's a still I love
the Dodgers, and not only that. The Potters are in

(28:39):
a seven game losing. Give me the Padjecs plus one
thirty and they're gonna they have to stop the lotenstick
sooner or later.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
So they're falling apart. The Potters are falling apart, free falling.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
There's gonna be a fire. There's gonna be a fire set.
They're gonna start trading guys, the Podjets. They're gonna that
team is such an under a teaving team. They're gonna
they have the worst record in baseball last seven games.
They're gonna start trading people.

Speaker 5 (29:01):
And that's what I love, Ben Mallard, when everyone's roasting
on their bad jops. Tomorrow is a bounce back. Spots
plus one are going to win and the Dodgers been Mallards.
Those are my free picks for tonight. Okay, all right,
there you go.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Thank you all right, Yes, thank you for saying my name.
I appreciate that, very kind of you to say.

Speaker 5 (29:18):

Speaker 1 (29:22):

Speaker 4 (29:24):
Does he have picks that are for sale?

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Well those yeah, those are the free picks, the really
good picks you have to wait for.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah, it's a sweetheart deal. He's got quite the arrangement
there with Poppy. Whatever game Scott Foster's doing, just bet
the home team.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
That's that's all you gotta do.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
That is it.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
So I do have a fun fact. You want a
fun I give you a fun fact. Here we go.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Fun fact.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Well, right now we do the show today and right now,
with Indiana three wins away from winning the Eastern Conference
in Oklahoma City in the West two wins away, we
are on track for Oklahoma City and Indiana to provide
which would be the worst NBA Final matchup in terms
of market size possible in the postseason. Did you know

(30:11):
that both teams that are on track to go to
the NBA Finals were built because of Paul George. That's right, Paul.
The Indiana Pacers got they had Paul George. He didn't
want to stay there I'm not standing here. I'm going left.
And so they got rid of him and they built
the team up. He went to Oklahoma City and I

(30:33):
don't want to be here anymore. I want to get
out of here. And so they traded him and they
got from the Clipper Shay Jogas Alexander. And so now
it's both teams because of Paul George. And Paul is
so obtuse on his little dope podcast. He has no clue,
he does not understand.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
It's wild.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
But there you go the magic of Paul George. Oh,
