Hello and welcome.

It's our number four, hour number four of our radio program recorded live overnight, off the radio,

repackaged here in the podcast format with limited commercial interruption.

Time now for our obligatory Aaron Rogers, Mallor Monologue.

Tell a friend, tell a friend, tell a friend, the latest piping hot takes out of the oven.

And a question that's been debated quite a bit over the last 24 hours or so, would Aaron Rogers really retire rather than play for the Packers if they fail to trade his ass?

We will examine that and more.

It's coming your way right now.

Here it is our number four.

In baseball, they call it the walkoff,

but what do they do it in football if you quit?

Welcome in the beginning of another hour, the Ben Mather's show.

We are in the air everywhere as we philosophize coast to coast, border to border,

So our lead this hour comes from the pigskin world.

We revisit the drama orama around Aaron Rogers.
