Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name Bear Fall, and we
head to Chicago, Sweet home Chicago, where the Bears are
claiming Justin Fields is not a finger pointer? Where is
this story going? Also, how do you classify Patriots coach
Bill Belichick's I want to say praise. I don't know

(00:21):
if it was really praise, but his statement on Zach
Wilson and our Dion Sanders Colorado Buffalo is being disrespected
by Vegas. We talk about all of those things as
we start the part. Hey, don't forget Benny versus the
Penny this weekend the fifth Hour podcast. But here is

(00:43):
our number four, the Ben mal Show. Have a wonderful weekend,
and here it is those Second City Blues. Welcome in
the beginning of another owl of the Ben Mallor Show.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
We are in the air everywheres we unwind, and we
are your party pioneer coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond on the vast and abundantly powerful microphones of
FSR Emma nating live from the.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Pursuit the trivial pursuit of jock Talk. We are broadcasting
live from the Tyraq dot com studios. Ty rack dot
Com will help you get there, an unmatched election, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers ty raq dot com. The way tire buying

(01:42):
should be. It's all football, all the time in these parts.
And we will start out this hour our leads from Chicago.
But before we get to that, the Thursday night NFL game,
if you were up late last night, you know we
were here and we've been going to bed. But the
Giants and forty nine Ers played. It was close for
at a quarter, maybe two quarters, and then the second

(02:02):
half and certainly in the fourth quarter domination by the
forty nine ers and Brock Purty ten and zero now
as a starter in games he started and finished. Uh,
he is ten and oh. And the forty nine ers
got sixty nine percent of their passing yards coming via
the yakata yak yards after the catches they were catching

(02:26):
and running past would be giant defenders, and the Stata
stats Brian Dable decided, you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna blitz the hell out of brock Party because
I don't think he can handle the blitz. And it's
the highest blitz rate that the NFL stat nerds have
had since they started tracking this. The next gen stats,

(02:47):
the Giants blinch. They blitzed brock Party on almost eighty
five percent of his dropbacks thirty three of thirty nine,
and Purty went out and completed twenty passes for two
hundred forty seven yards and two touchdowns. As he got
it done. He got off to a slow start but
dominated later on. But as far as the meat of

(03:08):
the matter, get to the point, please the Second City Blues.
The day after, Justin Fields tossed a hot, live firecracker
into the coaches room at Hallis Hall, blaming the coaches
for his struggles and then trying to unring the bell.
Bears brass has put on their tap dance shoes, so
I don't get saw this or that. Maybe not. Ryan

(03:31):
Poles is the GM in Chicago, and he claims the
Bears franchise does not does not think that what Justin
Fields was bad or wrong in any way, that all
he did was give, essentially I'm paraphrasing here, constructive criticism.
The Bears GM said the organization does not view this

(03:53):
as finger pointing. He said, no one, no one in
the entire building feels that I just prove I could
go on here, but just to prove I'm not making
this up, we have a little audio. This is the
big shot executive there of the Chicago Bears trying to
put out a fire in terms of Justin. I can't
be more clear than this.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
No one in our entire building, none of our coaches
see Justin as a finger pointer at all.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Is always taking ownership of anything that's happened on the field.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
He works with his teammates, works with his coaches.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Fine solution. Yeah, okay, I'm sure that did not come
from a crisis management PR firm at all. So let
us discuss the question the sound you just heard there
bears GM declaration that Justin Fields is not a finger pointer?
Where is this story going. I've got Bell, Pepper, Bambi,
and Bean counting, and we will combine all of these

(04:47):
things together and we are going to make a authentic
deep dish Chicago pizza, which I never had it when
I was younger because I thought, who wants the tomato
sauce on top? But once you have it, it's a
game change situation. And man, I love that the deep
for the Chicago Peachers anyway, to kick off here, bless

(05:07):
the hearts of the Chicago Bears. I'm being totally serious.
As at talk shows my favorite story of the week.
They're trying to put up a united front, standing shoulder
to shoulder, circling the wagons, and you have to be
really gullible, really really gullible to buy the rubbish that
they're tossing out. Ryan Poles is perfect for the Windy

(05:30):
City and in Chicago. Those that have been around know
that the nickname the Windy City is not because of
the weather in Chicago, it's because of the braggadocio of
the politicians. They're full of hot air, and so is
the Bears. GM Justin Fields announced publicly that he does
not believe he can run an NFL offense and the

(05:51):
coaches who are being paid to coach him should not
tell him that he needs to run the offense. He
wants to just go helter skelter and play Lucy Goosey
and impro that you peons, your playbook is not worthy
of me. Now, despite the statements that we played the

(06:13):
palace intrigue is just wonderful. Like Justin Fields, when you
combine all of the different variables his performance on the field.
The SoundBite that he gave us this week the damage
control that's been going on since then. Justin Fields is
a rotten bell pepper. He is a rotten bell pepper.
At this point, he's spoiling the other bell peppers. There

(06:34):
is mold growing on him. His play on the field
is bacteria. And now we've got the squabbling and all that. Now,
my favorite wrinkle to this story, and I hope you
saw it, the Bears had Justin Fields and the offensive
coordinator Luke Getzi hug each other on camera. Made sure

(06:57):
that it was caught on camera. Can you say, I
think you're trying too hard? Methinks you're trying a little
bit too hard. I'm sure that wasn't choreographed at all.
It was completely organic. Yeah, okay, I'm sure that's the case.
Now further, we go to Foxborough and Bill Belichick, always
a marginal sound bite. Bill Belichick spoke, as he does

(07:21):
every week, about the opponent and the Jets coming up,
specifically Zach Wilson. Many people were curious what would Bill
Belichick say about Zach Wilson. Because Zach Wilson is not
only a quarterback, he sucks and everyone knows it. He
can't play the position at the pro level. He's absolutely dreadful. Right,

(07:43):
So what do you make of that? Right?

Speaker 6 (07:46):
What do you so?

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Anyway, Bill Belichick spoke about the Jets and specifically Zack Wilson,
and as Warner Wolf used to say, let's go to
the audio tape.

Speaker 7 (07:59):
Obviously, you know Wilson, early athletic quarterback. We've seen him before,
so you know, very talented group.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah, he said Lessen won two, three, uh, and then
four or five? I think five words is what you heard.
Five words. Pretty athletic quarterback. We've seen him before.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, I don't really care about that. How do you
classify Bill Belichick's comments of Zach Wilson. So I'll go
first here. I've got pragmatic, business like and I will
also chime in that Bill Belichick is following the teachings
of BAMBI. Now normally, normally Belichick will he'll do the

(08:43):
Lou Holtz thing, you know, talk about you know Lou
holl If you remember Lou Holtz, this old coach. He
would go on and on talking about how great the
other team's players are, and even when they sucked when
he was at Notre Dame and they were amazing and
they played Bam, you know, they play a Navy or
something like that was really good. Anyway, the Bambi thing,
he's Bambi's friend Thumper. So Belichick is a fan of

(09:04):
Thumper because the saying in that movie, if you can't
say nothing nice, don't say nothing at all. Belichick has
the cheat code to Zach Wilson. They played four games
the Patriots and Jets with Zach Wilson under center. I
played four games and Wilson has been a barfbag right twice.

(09:26):
He failed to complete even ten passes in a game
against New England. He has thrown just two touchdowns against
seven interceptions and been sacked eleven times. It's insane. And
that's in the post Brady year. That's obviously just the
Patriots defense. But Belichick, he apparently knows a thing or

(09:47):
two about how to mess with the mind of Zach
Wilson and have him see see some ghosts now parting shot.
Let's stop in Boulder. Why would we go to Boulder, Colorado?
We are contractually and actually obligated to do that. It's
our obligatory brief mention in a Mallard monologue of Dion Sanders,

(10:07):
so despite opening up the year three and zero, Colorado
is a twenty one point underdog for that marquee Saturday
Pac twelve showdown Quack Quack Quack quack quack against the
Oregon Ducks. Or if you're in the East, you would
say Oregon, but those of us in the West say Oregon. So,
when discussing the sizeable spread, Fox Sports one pundit Lashawan

(10:31):
McCoy said that Dion's Colorado Buffaloes are quote absolutely getting disrespected.
He did the whole Aretha Franklin thing. So here's the question.
Are Dion Sanders Colorado Buffaloes being disrespected by Vegas? So
you can't see me, but I'm shaking my head no here,

(10:54):
And this entire episode is what I call a shady deal.
You see, Lashawn mc I don't watch this TV show.
Somebody's passed the clip onto me. But when it comes
to gambling, Lashan McCoy is uneducated on gambling because let
me give you the cliff notes version here. And I've
know this for a long time now. You've got the

(11:15):
TV show and all that, but Vegas sports books set
the opening line, but the gambling public establishes the final
line by betting into them, and if there's too much
money on either side, that's what moves the line. So
they don't necessarily care who's going to win the game

(11:37):
as long as the money is even right. And while
the odds makers obviously think that Colorado is way behind Oregon,
and based on the talent of recruiting and whatnot, that
would be the case, they're more concerned about the bean counting.
That's what they're worried about, because as long as the
money is even, they make their money on the veig
the aka the juice, and they've got the house, which

(12:00):
is like five percent, and it adds up if you
know a million different bets and you get that five percent,
and the books they can lose money if it's if
it's tilted too far one direction. For example, Colorado, while
it's been a pretty good story, there's a lot of
shall we say, square gamblers, the casual gambler that is

(12:22):
just betting because they're betting with their heart, right, they
think Colorado's going and so far, so good, right, so
far so good. Things have gone pretty well. If you've
been going brick by brick or bet by bet with Colorado,
you had the nail bier against Colorado State at those
first two games. I guess the first one was a
nail bier, but not if you bet on it because
of the pointspread. So anyway, that is the deal on that.

(12:43):
It is the Ben Malor Show as we continue on
through the over night hours, and we are glad to
have you here hanging out with us as otherwise if
you see, if you're not hanging out with us, man,
we'd have problems because we'd just be yapping and no
one would be listening, and that that would be be

(13:06):
a bit of an issue. That would be a bit
of an issue.

Speaker 8 (13:07):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (13:08):

It's Ben Malor, Jeremy and Minnesota writes and he says,
how's this for a fill up? My god? You see
this Eddie is obviously a truck driver. He got two
hundred and nineteen gallons of gas and that cost him
nine hundred and thirty nine dollars. Wow, nine hundred thirty

(14:54):
nine dollars for the gas. It's pretty pretty out there.
But hopefully are you now are you paying for that?
I don't know how's that work. I guess it depends who.
If you work for like a big corporation, you get
the company credit card whatnot. So we are rolling on here.
We will have coming up in a few minutes the

DraftKings Round Robin and we'll find out who won their
parlay for last week. We also have the Coop Scoop

and we will take some of these phone calls as
the board being reset. Al Michaels is under attack again, Eddie.

(15:35):
Every week now it's attack old Man al Michaels because
he misspoke on the Amazon broadcast last night. He now
that the first week he mistakenly referred to Lincoln Financial
Field as the VET. This week he was talking about
the forty nine ers and said that they had four
Super Bowl wins when they actually have five, and so

(16:00):
they would like to send him to a war tribunal.
The people reasonable, Yeah, you know he's seventy eight years old.
The guy's an icon is he is he as good
as he was at one point? No are any of
us going to be as good as we are when
we're seventy eight when we were younger. No, But as

(16:21):
I've said, I stand with Al Michaels. I stand with Al.
And what if Al wants to keep doing I mean
he until he totally falls off the cliff, which he
hasn't done, just leave him alone. Okay, he's gonna make
some mistakes. We all f up. Okay want mister Purk
and I guarantee when Al Michaels leaves that gig, whoever

(16:41):
replaces him will be a robot. You know, these these
next generation of broadcasters are terrible. Let's go to the phones.
Or not terrible, but they're not as good to me.
Let's go to the wild Eye Southern Boy. Hello, wild
Eye Southern Boy.

Speaker 8 (16:56):
Now that Dad Gump gas and Das's crazy man. You
know it takes me fourty five hundred fill up a
forty two footer and a fifty three footer tosses like
what he said, want to go? It's like almost five
dollars a gallons and gas is down about three thirteen Arkansas. Man,

Speaker 1 (17:18):
You're the one that keeps buying the scratch of tickets.

Speaker 8 (17:21):
Man, dude, that's why I'm got my mind set on something.
If it happened January, I will be gone. I'm gonna
see Oregon in a big, old fine state.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah. Now, some of the truck drivers have pointed out
that the big gig guys say that when they head
to the West, they they buy gas in Arizona or
Nevada or Oregon, but they don't buy it in California.
They do not buy it in California.

Speaker 8 (17:47):
No, it's just crazy in California. Man, Poppy, need to
bring me two Trump packs by the family pack.

Speaker 9 (19:43):
Puck the World is one of the few things Ben
doesn't really talk over. Actually, they're interrupt every once.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
In a while.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, a little bit to it. I spice it up
a little.

Speaker 9 (19:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
I usually try to find one goofy hockey story that
I like, Like, I'm gonna try to touch up the
Iowa minute. You know, they shut it down to about
twenty seven or twenty five minutes instead of the hour
that we did.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Ben, you're a regular old Nostril domis then after that?

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Right? Oh? Is that a preview of tons of fun
which will be coming up here soon.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
I'm just gonna blurt them out as they come to me, Nostril.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Demonst It's likely better that wayt say a load to
Ed and Arlington and hello Ed Edward. I think it
is going to bed all right, Sorry about that. Let's
say a load of Bob, who's on the Oregon Trail.

(20:37):
Hello Bob? What about Bob?

Speaker 6 (20:40):
Wow?

Speaker 7 (20:40):
What about Bob? I'm still here at fifty eight minutes
in twenty seconds.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
I like the fact that you're not complaining. I didn't
tell you to call. I didn't give out the number
for you to call, so you called on your own,
you found the number.

Speaker 7 (20:52):
This is what I'm going to try to do, because
you aren't saying that you regular callers. And I'm up
here in my sixty three acres in Oregon, off grid,
and you are my source of entertainment for the night.
And I've probably listened to you for about Jesus maybe
the last six to eight months straight. So I'm gonna
try calling every night for you.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
So you're you're completely off the grid, You're not dependent
on the man at all. They're you're just living out
in the wilderness.

Speaker 7 (21:19):
Well, yeah, no, I'm dependent on the man, don't get
me wrong.

Speaker 10 (21:23):
I just haven't brought power into.

Speaker 7 (21:24):
The property yet. So uh a generator it and solar
panel in it that you know power, So I think
the right now and listening to radio instead.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
You know, I think the the term for that joke. Oh,
the term for that though, Bob is ye. I think
that's an old Order Mennonite, right, that's they have no power,
the Mennonites, they don't believe in having power.

Speaker 7 (21:49):
Dude. I used to live next to some Mennonites. Man,
you want to see a ten year old Bill de
barn in about two days. There's something to be learned
from them.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
The Mennonites, I think, have like tricy them.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Like the no no no no no hold no no
no you guys, now hold. I say, the Old Order
Mennonites are the ones that do not have modern technology.
I've studied this because I used to make amised jokes
and then people said, some Amish are able to listen,
but the Mennonites, the Old Order Mennonites in the South,
you know, in the Pennsylvania, they're not able to listen.

(22:26):
I know I'm right about this. I will bet you
ten thousand dollars I was.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
I don't have ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
I'm talking old order men.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Old order, old order. Well, we have this town called
Cooloonna near Iowa City where there's a lot of omis
men nights, so.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
There's no omission. Are there any amish in California? I've
ever seen amish? I don't think in California.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Or to dangerous. Take your horse and buggy out on
those those roads.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah, slowed down living. Does anyone want a Lizzo joke?

Speaker 6 (22:53):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (22:54):
All right, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (22:55):
What's Lizzo's favorite thing that's twelve inches in white? Nothing?

Speaker 8 (23:02):
Because all right?

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Oh no, Bob, you're off the show right now. I
don't know what happened. Must be the phone died. I
don't know how that happened.

five passing yards. That game is going to be uugh
ullie Zach Wilson. He might get a broken play for
forty yards, so he ain't gotta get one hundred and

(25:41):
eighty one passing yards, so I've got that. Also, rain
likely in New Jersey this weekend the Browns Deshaun Watson
under two hundred and twenty nine and a half passing yards.
Also a chance of rain for the Browns and the
Tennessee Titans game, so I'll take a shot with that
Titans defense and DeShawn all messed up anyway, and then

(26:01):
the final part of this, I'm gonna put my neck
out and go to that Washington Buffalo game. I remember
how bad the Bills rush defense was in Week one
against the Jets, and last week they had no issue
stopping the Raiders. But it's gonna be a real rainy
day in the Beltway there in Washington, Commanders in Buffalo.
I'm gonna take Brian Robinson, Junior of the Washington Commanders

(26:24):
over fifty six and a half rushing yards. So those
are the three. I've got Dak Wilson under one hundred
and eighty one and a half passing yards, Deshaun Watson
under two hundred and twenty nine and a half, and
Brian Robinson over fifty six and a half for the Commanders. Eddie,
what do you got this week?

Speaker 6 (26:43):
All right?

Speaker 9 (26:43):
I got three games against the spread. First game, Dolphins
hosting the Broncos. Vic Fangio gonna get his revenge against Denver.
Give me the Dolphins minus the six and a half up. Next,
we've got Colts against the Ravens. Anthony Richardson is not
gonna play. He's in the concussion protocol. Minshew Magic will
keep it close. We'll keep it close. So I'll take

(27:06):
the Colts plus the eight points, and finally, the Bears
disaster continues, I'll take the Chiefs minus twelve and a
half against Chicago.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah that if the Chiefs don't win by more than that,
there should be some kind of investigation from the feds. Iowa, Sam,
you went in on this. I oh yeah, oh yeah, Okay, I'm.

Speaker 11 (27:26):
Gonna take the I'm gonna take the over for fifty
four of the Chargers at the Vikings over fifty four,
I mean the Packers to cover the one and a
half at home against the visiting Saints. Packers cover the
one and a half, and I'm gonna take the Cowboys.
This is a risky one Cowboys to cover that twelve
and a half on the road against the stink fart Cardinals.

(27:46):
Better yet, the Fartinals, if you will.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Cardinals are two and zero against the spread. And remember,
good teams win games, great teams cover. What about you, Cooper.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
Loop, Well, unfortunately Eddie's not gonna hit his parlay this
week because the Froncos are gonna win that. Wow, that's
not gonna be part of my proposal. I do share
a game with Eddie. On my three leg parlay, I
am going to take the Colts and minshew Mania for

(28:15):
plus eight.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
I believe they will cover that spread.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
I am also going to take the Lions minus three
at home against the Falcons. And then lastly, I'm going
to add on to that three leg parlay, I'm gonna
go Baker Mayfield over one and a half throwing touchdowns.

Speaker 1 (28:38):

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
