Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom shaka Laca. It's our numbber for our number four,
and we start out with an update NFL officials to
crack down on the tush Push. Say what, Yeah, that's
the story. We'll talk about that. How does that update
from the NFL change things? So the Eagles and the
tush Push? Also which NFL team is al Michael's throwing
(00:23):
shade at for being good but not particularly interesting? He
said that on the Amazon and former Eagles center Jason
Kelsey said that demanding Philadelphia media helps the pro sports
teams in the city improve your thoughts on that. We'll
get to all of it and more right now here
it is. Have a wonderful weekend. Remember Fifth Hour podcast
(00:44):

this weekend. We'll have new episodes of the pod all weekend.

Here it is our number four, stopping the Tushy. Welcome
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
We are in the air everywares we huddle together and
then fade into the woodwork coast to coast, border, the
border and beyond on the mast and whimsically powerful microphones

That's Expresspros dot com. So our lead this hour is
from the league office in Philadelphia. Major plot twist in
(02:15):
the last twenty four hours involving the most infamous, the
most notorious play in the National Football League. Did you
hear about this? No? Maybe not, maybe not. We have
now learned that the NFL has gone into the confessional
booth and they have confessed, they have admitted the Philadelphie
Eagles got away with a false start on the tush
(02:39):
push play, the famous tush push play called out by
Tom Brady at Arrowhead Stadium in Canna City, much to
the dismay of my friend Bob Fesco, who was at
that game and watching watching the Chiefs and the Eagles,
and the officials didn't call it. So now the NFL's
an ounce. The reason this is interesting is the NFL's
in ounce we are going to do something about this.
(03:01):
We are going to put the stop to this. So
the NFL claims, and they made sure to leak this
to all their useful idiots in the media. The NFL said, hey, listen,
what we're gonna do is we're going to send a
training tape. A training tape will be sent to all
the teams, and in that particular training tape, they will
point out that the Philadelphia Eagles, that's a football team,
(03:23):
should have been penalized for at least one false start
penalty in Week two and their victory over the Chiefs.
So let us discuss the question, how does this update,
How does this update from the NFL change things for
the Eagles Tush push All right, so that is the question.
(03:45):
What is the answer? So on this one. We have
the belt. We have the belt. Also we have the
always exciting snooze. And if that was not enough for you,
make make way four the pomp pomps. All right, So
(04:05):
my first thought on this, to get the party started
to lead off.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Here.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
These are of officials is playing The Eagles have been
sneaking out of the back door. It's the way they're
describing this. It's like the Eagles have been sneaking out
the back door like a shoplifter at Targate for two years.
And now because thirty three million people washed or whatever
(04:30):
it was, the Chiefs and the Eagles and everyone's up
in arms and all this. Now the NFL, after two
years of pilfering the NFL with his play, the NFL's like,
oh yeah, yeah, maybe we should have called that. That's
a bad job by us. The league tried to ban
the play. Remember Roger Goodell had this bug up as
took us and they tried to ban the play outright.
They deputized the Green Bay Packers to put a vote.
(04:54):
They couldn't get the votes. They were two votes away,
two votes away from banning the play. Now, my position
has always been and they should not ban the play.
No one listens to me. I think everyone should just
run the play. And then if everyone runs it, it
would neutralize what Philadelphia does. Philadelphia is the only one
that really does it at that level, and a lot
of other teams don't even bother running the play, even
(05:16):
though it works all the time. So I bring this
up because now this is where it gets good. The
plot thickens. The way I read the story and how
I read the room is that the mob, the mafioso
at the NFL have decided we tried to do it
(05:37):
the right way. We tried to get the vote, we
didn't have enough votes. So we're gonna take care of
this in house. We're gonna take care of this in house.
Now what does that mean? So Roger Goodell, just imagine
this in the cartoon bubble in your head as you're
either waking up or working or driving to work, whatever
you're doing. We're driving home forwork. So Roger Goodell in
this cartoon bubble is like the great TV mobster Tony
(05:59):
Sop and he's like, Oh, you like the toushpush. Uh
you like that Toushbush. I like the Toushbush. Yeah, cute play, right, well,
it's a shame it got flagged every time you tried it.
It's getting a penalty. So suddenly, if this goes the
way it appears, it's going to go, the fourth and
one will become a fourth and sixth and abra cadabra.
(06:21):
All of a sudden, the gimmick disappears. It's called getting
the belt. The NFL is taking steps to put a
chastity belt on the tush push. They want no more
tush push. The play is going to be neutered. It's
going to be castrated. No more pile driving your quarterback
like a rugby scrum. And listen, absolutely, when you look
(06:42):
at this from thirty thousand feet in the sky and
you look down, this is actually a blessing in disguise
for Jalen Hurts. I'm gonna be Benny bright Side on
this and I've taken my shots like any other good
talk show hosts would do it. Jalen Hurts, But let
me explain for Fats in Philadelphia and my friends in
the great state of Pennsylvania who love the Eagles. So
(07:03):
let me spain someone here, and this goes also for
Fry Daddy. Here's why this is a great thing if
this does happen the way it's being described here, where
the NFL is just gonna handle this in house, and
they're gonna call five yard penalty, so fourth and one
becomes fourth and sixth. Under that scenario, we will then
find out if Jalen Hurts can actually play quarterback or
(07:24):
if he's just a magician pulling quarters out of people's
ears and using the abracadabra. Right, if you can't do
the aberkadabra, the hocus pocus, the razzle dazzle, no more
slide of hand, No more slide of hand, you gotta sing. Now.
There's this famous story. It's an old story, it's a
dated story, but there was this guy that used to
bend spoons and he was a con man, right, but
(07:47):
he was very famous years ago. And remember my parents
telling him the story that he popped up on the
very popular TV show I think it was this guy
named Johnny Carson back when they did late night TV.
And he couldn't. He failed miserably because they took away
certain things. That was a disaster, as an absolute disaster.
But it's like this, Jalen Hurts is not really good
(08:11):
at anything as a quarterback other than the Touschbush. So
you can't understate how big a deal this is that
you now have to sing for your supper. That Philadelphia's
entire identity in this era of Eagles football is they
play with an edge, they have a swagger, and they
play bullyball. They play bullyball. It's short yardage, it's as
(08:36):
long as we get to fourth and one, it's going
to be a first down. And it all came from
the fact, all of it came from the fact that
they could basically cheat physics whenever they wanted. A ninety
six success rate, that goes away and suddenly you're a
middle of the pack NFC team with a running quarterback
(08:59):
who all on fourth down has to run the ball
on fourth That right, the regular way, not the way
that you know it to be the other way. Now, furthermore,
we now go to the broadcast booth, the Golden Pipes,
a flashback to my childhood. Al Michaels still working on
(09:21):
the Amazon. So there he was with herb Street doing
the game. Last night, the Buffalo Bills able to pull
out a win a game that was actually tied. Buffalo
did not bring their a game in that one the
Dolphins screwed up in the end. So the Bills did
win that game last night thanks to a tremendously stupid
running into the punter play and then also in addition
(09:43):
to that, you had to a turn of the ball
over making his usual mistake. But al Michaels was calling
the game on Thursday Night Football, and what did he say?
There was a quote where he said, you know, some
teams are good but not particularly interesting. Al Michaels opined
the buffer a little Bills have really become a great
team to watch. Close quote. So clearly he's trying to
(10:09):
promote the game that he's broadcasting. That's obvious. However, which
NFL team do you think al Michaels was throwing shade
at for being quote good, good, but not particularly interesting.
You watch football? I watch football. Do you have a team?
Do you think you know which team is the team?
Because I'm gonna go first here and then you can
(10:29):
call in later if you want and give me your
team before I tell you my team that I think
al Michaels was referring to. This is classic al Michaels,
the cryptic assassin. He loves to drop one of these
little little, small, fun sized hand grenades and untangling this
one using my mallor rosetta stone chief steaks, chief stakes.
(10:54):
They're catching straights that Al Michaels was talking about. The
Eagles fly. Eagles fly on the road to putting you
to bed more like snooze. Eagles snooze. They're like that
morning that breakfast restaurant. Snooze is what they are. They win, sure,
they grind out games, as we've talked about here earlier
(11:16):
in this monologue. Yes, however, you'd rather watch paint try
on the old Walt Whitman bridge over there, shout out
to our friend Jonathan and Delaware, then sit through Jalen
Hurts running the tush push fifteen times again. Now, I'm
obviously embellishing that, but it's a fair amount. It's like
groundhog Day. But they're wearing shoulder pads and cleats and
(11:37):
all that stuff. The Eagles are good. I'm not saying
the Eagles are not good. They're good in large part
because of the touchbush. They're a tough team. They're a
physical team to run the toushbush. However, they're not a
good watch. They're not. That's the difference. Al Michaels is
essentially saying, hey, Philadelphia, congratulations you won the Super Bowl.
(11:59):
You're a Bentley, but you're a Bentley that's painted beige,
and this is peak al Michaels. He doesn't name names,
he never named names names al Michaels, but he's clearly
shading the bird Brains. He's calling them the lunch pale,
grinded out type team that puts you asleep and Buffalo.
(12:21):
When you compare and contrast on the side by side,
if you look at the Telestrader here or in this case,
the radio Strader, you've got Josh Allen with those yolo bombs.
The circus throws. He had a touchdown pass like a
shovel pass, like an ad lib shovel pass, and if
Caleb Williams had to do that ad lib cale Caleb
(12:42):
was to do that ad lib shovel pass, he would
have thrown the ball into Niagara Falls. If he would
play he was playing in that game. It's but the Bills,
the way they play on offense, it's like TV crack.
It's fun fun Philadelphia. They're like the accounting department. Get
the job done. You don't really want to hang out
(13:03):
with them, you know, the being counters and all that,
and so I believe Al Michaels is right. Winning does
not equal entertainment. There's winning, and there's winning with pizazz.
There's winning with razzle dazzle, and they don't have that.
The Eagles are like the restaurant that's always packed that
your wife looked up on Yelp and you're like, oh,
what were we going to do it?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Well?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I found this restaurant on your Wow, what is it?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I would just go there. It's highly rated, it's got
five stars on your So, okay, I'll go there. But
then you get to the restaurant and the food is bland,
the lighting is terrible, the service is horrific, and but
the waiter keeps pushing that it's special. And so listen.
The Eagles are effective. They're effective as long as the
tush push is allowed. Now, the way I read the story,
(13:47):
they're going to start cracking down on it this week.
And when the Eagles play the Rams, not memorable, not
memorable the way that they play all right, Last thing,
continuing the theme of the hour. The theme of the
hour here on the Ben Mallers on Fox former NFL
center Jason Kelsey, who played for the Eagles. He said
this week that the demanding Philadelphia media helps the pro
(14:13):
sports teams in the city improve your thoughts. All right,
so on this one, Bravo, bravo to Jason Kelce. Bravo
Jason Kelsey. He gets it right, He absolutely gets it.
The guy played his whole career in Philadelphia in the
belly of the media beast there in Philly. And instead
(14:35):
of whining about the big bad media boogeyman like so
many soft athletes do these days, and they said, oh,
I've got my own media, I've got my own platform
and all that stuff. He's out there saying, listen, it's
a good thing. This is not a bad thing. This
is a good mitchvah. The crucification, the criticism, the negativity,
(14:57):
it makes you better. And this is one of the
things that I've been right. And we get calls from
fanboys like that dope Andrew and Bakersfield or a total fanboy,
and it forces you, the way I look at it,
it forces you to actually do your job, to lock
in because it's it's accountability. Imagine that. Imagine that the
(15:19):
media holds the people accountable instead of blaming the media.
Jason Kelsey is saying, the media is actually helping you
sharpen the blade. They keep you honest, and I love it.
Like that's the opposite of what we hear from so
many coddled and pampered athletes in other media markets around
the United States and around North America who cry and
(15:41):
moan the second the local sports talk radio host says
they had a bad game, making all up in arms.
It's not fair, I would say the newspaper columnists, but
they don't really exist anymore in most towns. In my experience,
it's Pomp, Pomp, Pomp, Pomp's cheerleaders, go team.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Who.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
You know, the whole thing. We love you, and some
of those guys are in the media, which is fascinating.
Everything's fine, teams falling apart, everything is right. You guys
suck no no, no, let me ask you, hey, let
me ask Caleb Williams. You just lost to the He
just lost over there to the Lions. You give up
over fifty points. Your defense? Did you weren't very good
(16:23):
in the second half? What's your favorite color? Caleb? Those
are the kind of hard hitting questions that you get,
so it's like, give me a break. That's not media covers,
that's an Instagram fan account. It's baby poop soft, is
what it is. It's baby poop soft. And this is
why I've always respected towns like that, in this case Philadelphia,
that they're not gonna let you fall asleep at the wheel.
(16:46):
I did a monologue earlier. I'm getting a lot of
negative feedback. Got to check the email. There's a couple
more came in there, ripping me. As I pointed out,
Clayton Kershaw announced his retirement, He's gonna pitch his final
game for the Dyer's later today and that's it. He's
likely not going to pitch much in the playoffs at all,
and so that'll be all for Clayton Kershaw. And I
(17:06):
pointed out that Clayton Kershaw has essentially gotten a free
pass in LA. The media is very, very weak. They
don't hold the players accountable. And Kershaw has been one
of the all time great underachievers in every just about
every big game, and he was allowed to get away
with it because nobody called him on it. They just
kind of looked the other way and said, oh, we'll
(17:26):
get him next year and all this stuff, and he
showed me nuts, showed me nuts, and the Dodgers were
looking at seven or eight World Series right now. If
Kershaw was actually if you lived up to the standard
that he's set during the regular season. I bring this
up because we're talking about the media, and again, I
love when they tell you, hey, you stink. They tell
you loud and clear. You blow a game, You're hearing
(17:49):
about it that night, you're hearing about it the next morning.
And that's to me, that's what you're supposed to do
in sports media. That's how I got into it, and
to hold your feet to the fire. And it's not
to fluff your pillows and tell you that you're really special,
you tried really hard. That's for the fanboys. That's for
the Andrew type callers in Bakersfield, the ones who get
(18:12):
mad at the media for asking tough questions. They are
the suckers your self, incriminating yourself that they just want
to believe their guys are great raw raw team. Here
we go perfect. To me, that's loser energy. It just
is you should want the guys that you support, the
(18:34):
teams that you support, to be challenged, to be pushed
to actually earn that and be called out when they
don't perform, and a reminder to every fun boy and
media cheerleader, and there's a lot of them out there.
You think you're doing a lot of good stuff, you
think you're doing a lot of stuff. You're not really
helping your team by sugarcoating everything. You're enabling mediocrity is
(18:59):
what you're doing. That's just the way it is. It

sweatshop is still open all weekend long. You can hear
the award winning Fifth Hour. Now. When I say award winning,
(20:25):
I was given a puffy sticker six years ago by
David Gascon who used to work here. So that's an award.
So I considered an award winning podcast, the Fifth Hour.
We have a new podcast today, Tomorrow and Sunday, the
mail Bag on the Fifth Hour and all weekend long.
You want to get my NFL picks against the spread,
(20:46):
We're off to the one and no start. We told
you about the Dolphins last night. If you watched Benny
Versus the Penny wants some money, good job by you,
and that'll be up later today on YouTube Benny Vspenny.
That's for just Benny Versus the Penny. If you want
the Ben Maler Show monologues, and all that at You
can catch the Mallard monologues at YouTube dot com slash
at Ben Maler Show. If you want Benny Versus the
(21:08):
Penny YouTube dot com slash at Benny Vspenny, All the
big games and now back to it, back to it
as we continue on. The Dolphins have yet to fire
their coach. There were some rumors that if they lost,
that would be it for their half baked head coach.
Apparently that is not going to happen. At least he's
(21:30):
going to make it out of the airport. Dolphins have
been back in Miami and so so they're good as
far as we know. INCA Terror says, I'm going to
pretend INCA Terrors in New York. A classically trained musician
who's performed all over the world says, I'm going to
pretend that it was a mere coincidence that you used
the phrase backdoor and a Mallard monologue about the torch
(21:51):
push that was not intentional. INCA Terror, that was not intentional,
and I think you have some things on your mind
that you might want to dress. JT the Wingman says
that was the same Al Michaels, who also called Josh
Allen tom Brady. That is correct. That is also the
same Al Michaels who broadcast football games when Vince Lombardy
(22:15):
was playing coaching in the NFL, or just about so,
come on, who else cuffs the legend? I don't know
who this is, says Jalen Hurts. Not good at anything
but the touch push. That's crazy to say out loud.
Did you watch the Super Bowl? Yes? I did watch
the Super Bowl. I also watched the Eagles play last year,
where the Philadelphia Eagles passing offense ranked thirty I believes
(22:38):
thirtieth in the NFL last year, and two games into
this season, I watched the Philadelphi Eagles passing offense, which
is actually somehow worse than last season. They are thirty
first in the NFL. There's only one team that has
a worst passing offense than the Philadelphiagles, which plausibly is
the most important thing the quarterback is supposed to do
(22:59):
to guide the passing offense, and the Eagles are second worst.
Only the Tennessee Titans with a rookie quarterback cam Ward
are there. But if you're gonna rob raw your guys,
Jalen Hurts are great. This is why I say the
tush push going away is a net positive for Jalen
(23:19):
Hurts because we will see whether or not he can
actually get it done like a real quarterback and not
use a trick play, which is what has worked. And
it sounds like the NFL is gonna get rid of it,
and then we'll see if they actually go forward us.
Now we've also upset Fry Daddy, who's a big time
listener to this show and a big support of the show,
and he says the NFL a bunch of effing cry babies.
(23:43):
Funny that it happens when they're playing the Rams. Oh yeah,
if you think the NFL really looks they don't care
about the Rams, I don't believe that anyway, he says,
cry baby Rams coach can no longer call magic plays
to help the Rams win. So a blanket, blank blank
upset about the about losing the Eagles who knock them
(24:05):
out of the playoffs. Uh Friday says, next year people
will be crying about some other team if you can't
beat them. Cry to Roger boo hoo hoo. All right,
let's go to the phone, let's say hello to Let's
go to Poppy in San Diego and have the coop
scoop on entertainment. Hello Poppy in San Diego.

All right?
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Oh? Yeah, I got on at the end there, I
had about five minutes. Yeah, Titus and Jeff and I
told him that they'd better get a start a quarterback,
the draft and the quarterback because heads are woven. I've
been listening this week. Everybody's in.

Boom shaka Laca. It's our numbber for our number four,
and we start out with an update NFL officials to
crack down on the tush Push. Say what, Yeah, that's
the story. We'll talk about that. How does that update
from the NFL change things? So the Eagles and the
tush Push? Also which NFL team is al Michael's throwing
(00:23):
shade at for being good but not particularly interesting? He
said that on the Amazon and former Eagles center Jason
Kelsey said that demanding Philadelphia media helps the pro sports
teams in the city improve your thoughts on that. We'll
get to all of it and more right now here
it is. Have a wonderful weekend. Remember Fifth Hour podcast
(00:44):
as well Benny Versus the Penny Lot to get to
this weekend. We'll have new episodes of the pod all weekend.
Have a great, safe time whatever you're up to this weekend.
Here it is our number four, stopping the Tushy. Welcome
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
We are in the air everywares we huddle together and
then fade into the woodwork coast to coast, border, the

That's Expresspros dot com. So our lead this hour is
from the league office in Philadelphia. Major plot twist in
(02:15):
the last twenty four hours involving the most infamous, the
most notorious play in the National Football League. Did you
hear about this? No? Maybe not, maybe not. We have
now learned that the NFL has gone into the confessional
booth and they have confessed, they have admitted the Philadelphie
Eagles got away with a false start on the tush
(02:39):
push play, the famous tush push play called out by
Tom Brady at Arrowhead Stadium in Canna City, much to
the dismay of my friend Bob Fesco, who was at
that game and watching watching the Chiefs and the Eagles,
and the officials didn't call it. So now the NFL's
an ounce. The reason this is interesting is the NFL's
in ounce we are going to do something about this.
(03:01):
We are going to put the stop to this. So
the NFL claims, and they made sure to leak this
to all their useful idiots in the media. The NFL said, hey, listen,
what we're gonna do is we're going to send a
training tape. A training tape will be sent to all
the teams, and in that particular training tape, they will
point out that the Philadelphia Eagles, that's a football team,
(03:23):
should have been penalized for at least one false start
penalty in Week two and their victory over the Chiefs.
So let us discuss the question, how does this update,
How does this update from the NFL change things for
the Eagles Tush push All right, so that is the question.
(03:45):
What is the answer? So on this one. We have
the belt. We have the belt. Also we have the
always exciting snooze. And if that was not enough for you,
make make way four the pomp pomps. All right, So
(04:05):
my first thought on this, to get the party started
to lead off.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Here.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
These are of officials is playing The Eagles have been
sneaking out of the back door. It's the way they're
describing this. It's like the Eagles have been sneaking out
the back door like a shoplifter at Targate for two years.
And now because thirty three million people washed or whatever
(04:30):
it was, the Chiefs and the Eagles and everyone's up
in arms and all this. Now the NFL, after two
years of pilfering the NFL with his play, the NFL's like,
oh yeah, yeah, maybe we should have called that. That's
a bad job by us. The league tried to ban
the play. Remember Roger Goodell had this bug up as
took us and they tried to ban the play outright.
They deputized the Green Bay Packers to put a vote.
(04:54):
They couldn't get the votes. They were two votes away,
two votes away from banning the play. Now, my position
has always been and they should not ban the play.
No one listens to me. I think everyone should just
run the play. And then if everyone runs it, it
would neutralize what Philadelphia does. Philadelphia is the only one
that really does it at that level, and a lot
of other teams don't even bother running the play, even
(05:16):
though it works all the time. So I bring this
up because now this is where it gets good. The
plot thickens. The way I read the story and how
I read the room is that the mob, the mafioso
at the NFL have decided we tried to do it
(05:37):
the right way. We tried to get the vote, we
didn't have enough votes. So we're gonna take care of
this in house. We're gonna take care of this in house.
Now what does that mean? So Roger Goodell, just imagine
this in the cartoon bubble in your head as you're
either waking up or working or driving to work, whatever
you're doing. We're driving home forwork. So Roger Goodell in
this cartoon bubble is like the great TV mobster Tony
(05:59):
Sop and he's like, Oh, you like the toushpush. Uh
you like that Toushbush. I like the Toushbush. Yeah, cute play, right, well,
it's a shame it got flagged every time you tried it.
It's getting a penalty. So suddenly, if this goes the
way it appears, it's going to go, the fourth and
one will become a fourth and sixth and abra cadabra.
(06:21):
All of a sudden, the gimmick disappears. It's called getting
the belt. The NFL is taking steps to put a
chastity belt on the tush push. They want no more
tush push. The play is going to be neutered. It's
going to be castrated. No more pile driving your quarterback
like a rugby scrum. And listen, absolutely, when you look
(06:42):
at this from thirty thousand feet in the sky and
you look down, this is actually a blessing in disguise
for Jalen Hurts. I'm gonna be Benny bright Side on
this and I've taken my shots like any other good
talk show hosts would do it. Jalen Hurts, But let
me explain for Fats in Philadelphia and my friends in
the great state of Pennsylvania who love the Eagles. So
(07:03):
let me spain someone here, and this goes also for
Fry Daddy. Here's why this is a great thing if
this does happen the way it's being described here, where
the NFL is just gonna handle this in house, and
they're gonna call five yard penalty, so fourth and one
becomes fourth and sixth. Under that scenario, we will then
find out if Jalen Hurts can actually play quarterback or
(07:24):
if he's just a magician pulling quarters out of people's
ears and using the abracadabra. Right, if you can't do
the aberkadabra, the hocus pocus, the razzle dazzle, no more
slide of hand, No more slide of hand, you gotta sing. Now.
There's this famous story. It's an old story, it's a
dated story, but there was this guy that used to
bend spoons and he was a con man, right, but
(07:47):
he was very famous years ago. And remember my parents
telling him the story that he popped up on the
very popular TV show I think it was this guy
named Johnny Carson back when they did late night TV.
And he couldn't. He failed miserably because they took away
certain things. That was a disaster, as an absolute disaster.
But it's like this, Jalen Hurts is not really good
(08:11):
at anything as a quarterback other than the Touschbush. So
you can't understate how big a deal this is that
you now have to sing for your supper. That Philadelphia's
entire identity in this era of Eagles football is they
play with an edge, they have a swagger, and they
play bullyball. They play bullyball. It's short yardage, it's as
(08:36):
long as we get to fourth and one, it's going
to be a first down. And it all came from
the fact, all of it came from the fact that
they could basically cheat physics whenever they wanted. A ninety
six success rate, that goes away and suddenly you're a
middle of the pack NFC team with a running quarterback
(08:59):
who all on fourth down has to run the ball
on fourth That right, the regular way, not the way
that you know it to be the other way. Now, furthermore,
we now go to the broadcast booth, the Golden Pipes,
a flashback to my childhood. Al Michaels still working on
(09:21):
the Amazon. So there he was with herb Street doing
the game. Last night, the Buffalo Bills able to pull
out a win a game that was actually tied. Buffalo
did not bring their a game in that one the
Dolphins screwed up in the end. So the Bills did
win that game last night thanks to a tremendously stupid
running into the punter play and then also in addition
(09:43):
to that, you had to a turn of the ball
over making his usual mistake. But al Michaels was calling
the game on Thursday Night Football, and what did he say?
There was a quote where he said, you know, some
teams are good but not particularly interesting. Al Michaels opined
the buffer a little Bills have really become a great
team to watch. Close quote. So clearly he's trying to
(10:09):
promote the game that he's broadcasting. That's obvious. However, which
NFL team do you think al Michaels was throwing shade
at for being quote good, good, but not particularly interesting.
You watch football? I watch football. Do you have a team?
Do you think you know which team is the team?
Because I'm gonna go first here and then you can
(10:29):
call in later if you want and give me your
team before I tell you my team that I think
al Michaels was referring to. This is classic al Michaels,
the cryptic assassin. He loves to drop one of these
little little, small, fun sized hand grenades and untangling this
one using my mallor rosetta stone chief steaks, chief stakes.
(10:54):
They're catching straights that Al Michaels was talking about. The
Eagles fly. Eagles fly on the road to putting you
to bed more like snooze. Eagles snooze. They're like that
morning that breakfast restaurant. Snooze is what they are. They win, sure,
they grind out games, as we've talked about here earlier
(11:16):
in this monologue. Yes, however, you'd rather watch paint try
on the old Walt Whitman bridge over there, shout out
to our friend Jonathan and Delaware, then sit through Jalen
Hurts running the tush push fifteen times again. Now, I'm
obviously embellishing that, but it's a fair amount. It's like
groundhog Day. But they're wearing shoulder pads and cleats and
(11:37):
all that stuff. The Eagles are good. I'm not saying
the Eagles are not good. They're good in large part
because of the touchbush. They're a tough team. They're a
physical team to run the toushbush. However, they're not a
good watch. They're not. That's the difference. Al Michaels is
essentially saying, hey, Philadelphia, congratulations you won the Super Bowl.
(11:59):
You're a Bentley, but you're a Bentley that's painted beige,
and this is peak al Michaels. He doesn't name names,
he never named names names al Michaels, but he's clearly
shading the bird Brains. He's calling them the lunch pale,
grinded out type team that puts you asleep and Buffalo.
(12:21):
When you compare and contrast on the side by side,
if you look at the Telestrader here or in this case,
the radio Strader, you've got Josh Allen with those yolo bombs.
The circus throws. He had a touchdown pass like a
shovel pass, like an ad lib shovel pass, and if
Caleb Williams had to do that ad lib cale Caleb
(12:42):
was to do that ad lib shovel pass, he would
have thrown the ball into Niagara Falls. If he would
play he was playing in that game. It's but the Bills,
the way they play on offense, it's like TV crack.
It's fun fun Philadelphia. They're like the accounting department. Get
the job done. You don't really want to hang out
(13:03):
with them, you know, the being counters and all that,
and so I believe Al Michaels is right. Winning does
not equal entertainment. There's winning, and there's winning with pizazz.
There's winning with razzle dazzle, and they don't have that.
The Eagles are like the restaurant that's always packed that
your wife looked up on Yelp and you're like, oh,
what were we going to do it?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Well?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I found this restaurant on your Wow, what is it?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I would just go there. It's highly rated, it's got
five stars on your So, okay, I'll go there. But
then you get to the restaurant and the food is bland,
the lighting is terrible, the service is horrific, and but
the waiter keeps pushing that it's special. And so listen.
The Eagles are effective. They're effective as long as the
tush push is allowed. Now, the way I read the story,
(13:47):
they're going to start cracking down on it this week.
And when the Eagles play the Rams, not memorable, not
memorable the way that they play all right, Last thing,
continuing the theme of the hour. The theme of the
hour here on the Ben Mallers on Fox former NFL
center Jason Kelsey, who played for the Eagles. He said
this week that the demanding Philadelphia media helps the pro
(14:13):
sports teams in the city improve your thoughts. All right,
so on this one, Bravo, bravo to Jason Kelce. Bravo
Jason Kelsey. He gets it right, He absolutely gets it.
The guy played his whole career in Philadelphia in the
belly of the media beast there in Philly. And instead
(14:35):
of whining about the big bad media boogeyman like so
many soft athletes do these days, and they said, oh,
I've got my own media, I've got my own platform
and all that stuff. He's out there saying, listen, it's
a good thing. This is not a bad thing. This
is a good mitchvah. The crucification, the criticism, the negativity,
(14:57):
it makes you better. And this is one of the
things that I've been right. And we get calls from
fanboys like that dope Andrew and Bakersfield or a total fanboy,
and it forces you, the way I look at it,
it forces you to actually do your job, to lock
in because it's it's accountability. Imagine that. Imagine that the
(15:19):
media holds the people accountable instead of blaming the media.
Jason Kelsey is saying, the media is actually helping you
sharpen the blade. They keep you honest, and I love it.
Like that's the opposite of what we hear from so
many coddled and pampered athletes in other media markets around
the United States and around North America who cry and
(15:41):
moan the second the local sports talk radio host says
they had a bad game, making all up in arms.
It's not fair, I would say the newspaper columnists, but
they don't really exist anymore in most towns. In my experience,
it's Pomp, Pomp, Pomp, Pomp's cheerleaders, go team.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Who.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
You know, the whole thing. We love you, and some
of those guys are in the media, which is fascinating.
Everything's fine, teams falling apart, everything is right. You guys
suck no no, no, let me ask you, hey, let
me ask Caleb Williams. You just lost to the He
just lost over there to the Lions. You give up
over fifty points. Your defense? Did you weren't very good
(16:23):
in the second half? What's your favorite color? Caleb? Those
are the kind of hard hitting questions that you get,
so it's like, give me a break. That's not media covers,
that's an Instagram fan account. It's baby poop soft, is
what it is. It's baby poop soft. And this is
why I've always respected towns like that, in this case Philadelphia,
that they're not gonna let you fall asleep at the wheel.
(16:46):
I did a monologue earlier. I'm getting a lot of
negative feedback. Got to check the email. There's a couple
more came in there, ripping me. As I pointed out,
Clayton Kershaw announced his retirement, He's gonna pitch his final
game for the Dyer's later today and that's it. He's
likely not going to pitch much in the playoffs at all,
and so that'll be all for Clayton Kershaw. And I
(17:06):
pointed out that Clayton Kershaw has essentially gotten a free
pass in LA. The media is very, very weak. They
don't hold the players accountable. And Kershaw has been one
of the all time great underachievers in every just about
every big game, and he was allowed to get away
with it because nobody called him on it. They just
kind of looked the other way and said, oh, we'll
(17:26):
get him next year and all this stuff, and he
showed me nuts, showed me nuts, and the Dodgers were
looking at seven or eight World Series right now. If
Kershaw was actually if you lived up to the standard
that he's set during the regular season. I bring this
up because we're talking about the media, and again, I
love when they tell you, hey, you stink. They tell
you loud and clear. You blow a game, You're hearing
(17:49):
about it that night, you're hearing about it the next morning.
And that's to me, that's what you're supposed to do
in sports media. That's how I got into it, and
to hold your feet to the fire. And it's not
to fluff your pillows and tell you that you're really special,
you tried really hard. That's for the fanboys. That's for
the Andrew type callers in Bakersfield, the ones who get
(18:12):
mad at the media for asking tough questions. They are
the suckers your self, incriminating yourself that they just want
to believe their guys are great raw raw team. Here
we go perfect. To me, that's loser energy. It just
is you should want the guys that you support, the
(18:34):
teams that you support, to be challenged, to be pushed
to actually earn that and be called out when they
don't perform, and a reminder to every fun boy and
media cheerleader, and there's a lot of them out there.
You think you're doing a lot of good stuff, you
think you're doing a lot of stuff. You're not really
helping your team by sugarcoating everything. You're enabling mediocrity is
(18:59):
what you're doing. That's just the way it is. It
is the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd like to be
park you can join us right now at eight seven,

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Bill Miller and you, it is the Ben Maler Show
up all night, every single night. Don't forget. The weekend
is almost here. The chat does not talk. The audio
sweatshop is still open all weekend long. You can hear
the award winning Fifth Hour. Now. When I say award winning,
(20:25):
I was given a puffy sticker six years ago by
David Gascon who used to work here. So that's an award.
So I considered an award winning podcast, the Fifth Hour.
We have a new podcast today, Tomorrow and Sunday, the
mail Bag on the Fifth Hour and all weekend long.
You want to get my NFL picks against the spread,
(20:46):
We're off to the one and no start. We told
you about the Dolphins last night. If you watched Benny
Versus the Penny wants some money, good job by you,
and that'll be up later today on YouTube Benny Vspenny.
That's for just Benny Versus the Penny. If you want
the Ben Maler Show monologues, and all that at You
can catch the Mallard monologues at YouTube dot com slash
at Ben Maler Show. If you want Benny Versus the
(21:08):
Penny YouTube dot com slash at Benny Vspenny, All the
big games and now back to it, back to it
as we continue on. The Dolphins have yet to fire
their coach. There were some rumors that if they lost,
that would be it for their half baked head coach.
Apparently that is not going to happen. At least he's
(21:30):
going to make it out of the airport. Dolphins have
been back in Miami and so so they're good as
far as we know. INCA Terror says, I'm going to
pretend INCA Terrors in New York. A classically trained musician
who's performed all over the world says, I'm going to
pretend that it was a mere coincidence that you used
the phrase backdoor and a Mallard monologue about the torch
(21:51):
push that was not intentional. INCA Terror, that was not intentional,
and I think you have some things on your mind
that you might want to dress. JT the Wingman says
that was the same Al Michaels, who also called Josh
Allen tom Brady. That is correct. That is also the
same Al Michaels who broadcast football games when Vince Lombardy
(22:15):
was playing coaching in the NFL, or just about so,
come on, who else cuffs the legend? I don't know
who this is, says Jalen Hurts. Not good at anything
but the touch push. That's crazy to say out loud.
Did you watch the Super Bowl? Yes? I did watch
the Super Bowl. I also watched the Eagles play last year,
where the Philadelphia Eagles passing offense ranked thirty I believes
(22:38):
thirtieth in the NFL last year, and two games into
this season, I watched the Philadelphi Eagles passing offense, which
is actually somehow worse than last season. They are thirty
first in the NFL. There's only one team that has
a worst passing offense than the Philadelphiagles, which plausibly is
the most important thing the quarterback is supposed to do
(22:59):
to guide the passing offense, and the Eagles are second worst.
Only the Tennessee Titans with a rookie quarterback cam Ward
are there. But if you're gonna rob raw your guys,
Jalen Hurts are great. This is why I say the
tush push going away is a net positive for Jalen
(23:19):
Hurts because we will see whether or not he can
actually get it done like a real quarterback and not
use a trick play, which is what has worked. And
it sounds like the NFL is gonna get rid of it,
and then we'll see if they actually go forward us.
Now we've also upset Fry Daddy, who's a big time
listener to this show and a big support of the show,
and he says the NFL a bunch of effing cry babies.
(23:43):
Funny that it happens when they're playing the Rams. Oh yeah,
if you think the NFL really looks they don't care
about the Rams, I don't believe that anyway, he says,
cry baby Rams coach can no longer call magic plays
to help the Rams win. So a blanket, blank blank
upset about the about losing the Eagles who knock them
(24:05):
out of the playoffs. Uh Friday says, next year people
will be crying about some other team if you can't
beat them. Cry to Roger boo hoo hoo. All right,
let's go to the phone, let's say hello to Let's
go to Poppy in San Diego and have the coop
scoop on entertainment. Hello Poppy in San Diego.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
