Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number one, our number one
of the Ben Maloch Show, but you already knew that.
And before we tell you what's coming up here in
our number one, I need to do some shameless promotion.
For some reason. I got a TV show and the
boys that exciting. It's a lot of fun to have
(00:21):
a TV show. But I need people to actually watch
the show so we can continue doing the show. And
it debuts I do it every week. Debuts on Friday
on NBC Sports Boston and also NBC affiliates in Philadelphia, Chicago.
It'll be on in the Bay Area, San Francisco, It'll
be in Los Angeles and also New York, so check
(00:41):
your local cable listenings in a few other places as well.
For Benny Versus the Penny, I pick games against every
NFL team. And since you're a p one of the
radio show, I did slip in on this week's episode
the name of one of our regular callers. Which caller
did I mention on the TV show. You're only gonna
(01:02):
know if you actually watch the show. Also, we have
the fifth Hour podcast today and that'll be a lot
of fun. A behind the scenes look at doing a
day night doubleheader? What was that like? The day night doubleheader?
And also we'll go behind the scenes on having the
Great Inca in studio earlier this week. But tonight or
(01:25):
this hour, I should say, on The Ben Malor Show,
Chicago stomps to a Thursday night victory. Does that game's
outcome say more about the commander's or the Bears? And
how do you explain Washington's clear lack of execution? Does
this performance also mean that Justin Fields is now out
of the Bears doghouse? We'll talk about all of that and.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
More right now here.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
It is our numbered one in Unexpected Bear Jamboree. Who
saw that on their bingo card? I didn't have that
on my bingo card. I didn't see that coming. Well
come in the beginning of another edition of The Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere in partnership
(02:11):
as we swim with the stream coast to coast, port
of the border hand beyond on the bast and definitely
powerful microphones of fs are emminating live from the baton
as we take the baton in the relay race of
the sports take. We are broadcasting live from the tyrack
(02:34):
dot Com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get
there in unmatch selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard
protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tireract dot com
the Way tire Buying show me and so the Big
Night here Big nine on the show. We don't have
(02:56):
any more classically trained musicians coming in to the studio.
We don't have I know, I know, we really let
me tell you. We appealed to academia. We appeared. I
used to work with this guy years ago named Bob Page,
and Bob would always be you know, he was like
this old the New York Sports cast. Actually there's from Detroit,
but he worked in New York, and he would complain
(03:16):
that I needed to go to art museums, you know,
and go see classical music and things like that. And
I said, well, you know, we just had a pianist time,
a world renowned pianist in studio who happens to oddly
like sports radio the Great Incatara. Anyway, our lead this
hour coming from Landover, Maryland, just outside the Beltway, their
(03:37):
home of the team formerly known as the Redskins. That
the stage for an m NS Thursday Night football game.
What does that stand? For must not see, Must not
see Now. Unless you had skin in the game, chances
are you were not watching Washington play host to Chicago.
(04:00):
Al Michaels and Kirk kirk Street were there. You know
why they were there. They were getting paid to be there.
That's why they were there. So I don't know if
you watched it or not. Maybe you did for some
reason you're into kind of torturing yourself. I don't know,
but I watched it because, much like Al Michael's and
Kirk kirk Street, I'm getting paid. So I watched it,
(04:21):
and Justin Fields was otherworldly, four touchdown passes in leading
the Bears to disembowel the Commanders forty to twenty mers.
Washington did sneak in and had a shot to get
within one score, but they missed the field goal and
(04:42):
then turn out the lads's the parties over a Thursday
night dud for Washington. And how about DJ Moore. This
guy hadn't really made any kind of an impact in
Chicago coming over from Carolina, and I heard that people say, Oh,
he's so good, He's south good. That DJ. He spun
some records. He certainly did on this night here eight
(05:05):
catches two hundred and thirty yards a oil painting from
DJ Moore, three touchdowns, and that is the first win
for the Chicago football team in three hundred and forty
seven days. Go back to October twenty fourth of last
year for the last time the Bears won a football game.
I mean, I don't know about you, but I was
(05:27):
barely alive, all right. So Chicago gets the first win.
They're now one in four on the season. We'll check
in later in the out to see how that affects
the race for the number one overall pick in the draft.
Of Chicago is one of a couple of teams that
had yet to win. Washington drops to two and three.
Let us discuss the question, does this game's outcome a
(05:52):
route or root, depending on how you like to say it.
Does this this Thursday night games outcomes say more about
the command or more about the Bears. So we pulled
out the Malard scale of justice on this one, the
Malar scale of pigskin justice, and the scale leaning heavily
towards the Washington football team. My thoughts, I've got legal doctrine, Fashionista,
(06:18):
and Starbucks, and we'll tie all of these things together
and we are going to make a solid brick of gold. Right,
solid brick of gold is what we're going to make.
So a let's start here. There is no excuse I
could think of for that performance by the commanders, right,
(06:39):
that is halatosis is what that is. My God, get
some mouth washed. It's one thing to lose, right, Teams
lose all the time. But the competitive fire, the competition,
you get beat. If you play hard fun, you're not
good enough. But for Washington, they did not have the
fighting spirit. It was gutless football. And that is a
(07:03):
referendum on Ron rivera riverboat Ron and his players. And
if I was there, I would court martial. Some people
heads should roll. That is a violation, the violation of
the pig skin legal doctrine. The commanders failed to put
an honest effort. Certainly in the first halt. They made
(07:26):
a little bit of a push in the third quarter,
but it was a dereliction of duties, high crimes and misdemeanors.
You know how hard it is to perform like a
bucket of wet spit against the Bears. Chicago has been
the personification of manure this season, ranked twenty eighth in
(07:49):
total defense, thirty first in scoring defense under any measurement
that we have to monitor these teams, under any one
of those measurements, they have been die die diarrhea, and
especially for thirty minutes. The Chicago Bears defense against the
(08:09):
Washington football team looked like they had Mike Singletary, Richard Dent,
and Wilburt Marshall. You don't know who they are, look
them up. They'd all been reincarnated into the prime of
their careers. A Washington caught flat footed. They were snoozing,
and they needed some caffeine. At halftime was twenty seven
to three, Sweet Home Chicago. The Bears had three hundred
(08:34):
and seven yards of offense and fourteen first downs in
the first freaking half. The Commanders eighty four yards and
five first downs in the first down All right, page two.
How do you explain this? How do you explain the
lack of emotion, the lack of execution from Washington? There
(08:55):
are many variables into laying an egg, and this obviously
a gigantic pratfall. You gotta think they felt sorry for themselves.
It's a short week. They played an overtime game against
the division rival in Philadelphia, but they didn't travel. They
or at home. They came back from that road game.
That's a short trip down nine to ninety five. They
(09:16):
came home and they did the impossible, the unimaginable, the unthinkable.
They made Chicago look like a competent NFL team. Washington
they also had I'm gonna go a little bit off
the grid here, bear with me. They had a fashionista problem.
To start. The Commanders wore for our blind listeners, shout
(09:37):
out Inka Terror and blind Scott blind Emmett were number
one with the blind. But Washington had a fashionista problem.
The Commanders wore their money grab alternative uniforms. They had
the all blacks with gold numerals and letters. The way
you dress reveals a lot about your personality, your mood.
We know from the human experience that had influenced This
(10:00):
is how others perceive you. Right, the clothes make demand.
This does not whisper. It screams Hamilton, and I'm not
talking about to play Hamilton the Washington football team. I
thought I was watching the Hamilton tiger Cats, and it
looked like Washington had been relegated to the CFL. In fact,
I think the tiger Cats from Hamilton would have played better.
(10:21):
And if I owned, if I owned the Washington football team,
Ron Rivera right now would be contacting producers at the
NFL network to see if you can get a job.
But if you saw the game, you probably saw what
I saw. Josh Harris, the guy that spent six billion
dollars to buy this turd salad or sandwich or whatever
it is. You'd think he would have been inflamed. He
(10:45):
was not. He was not. And what I saw maybe
my TV was broken, but it looked like he was
enjoying some spirits with his aristocrat pals and having a
grand time. He appeared rather apathetic. It seemed like he
was in a pretty good mood. Maybe he was medic
as he was smiling, and I guess you could say
he was a jolly goodfellow, laughing in the luxury box
(11:06):
there as there was carnage down on the field for
his football team. All right, last we'd here, So let's
get to the Komodo dragon in the room. If you've
heard this show over the last year, you know that
I have been an outspoken critic of the quarterback in Chicago.
I checked my inbox in the third quarter. I guess
(11:28):
I went to look for an email. So I checked
my email about the third quarter, and I got a
couple of messages from people who are in the Chicago
Land area or their heart is in the Chicago Land area.
I don't really know where they actually live, but they
were they were giving me the business.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I was.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
See, you were wrong, you were wrong. See your overnight gas.
But that's what you're doing overnight. See you your commentary
about Justin Fields was wrong. See this guy's great, and
he just proved you wrong. He was giving him the business. Yeah,
so let's address that. Let's address this right now, the
HeLa monster. Does this performance mean that Justin Fields is
(12:05):
now out of the bear's doghouse? So I would advise
you to pump the breaks. That is a premature take, now,
I would admit, and I'm willing to admit it, that
he looked amazing. Yeah, looked that good. Since he played
Rutgers or Northwestern at the Ohio State University, it was
(12:26):
like he was out there dot in the eye. So
Justin Fields, now, he did play pretty well in the
first half against Denver, although he gagged late in that game.
But Justin Fields has moved from the dungeon of despair
into the halfway house. And so the game against Denver,
which is the second half, was not great, but the
overall numbers were solid. And now the Washington game, I
(12:48):
still put those in the anomaly category. Those are abnormalities.
And it's up to Justin Fields. And if he turns
out to be great, and I'll go eat a nice
crow crow pasta dish. You know, I have some ravioli
stuff with Krow, but I'm not there yet. I'm not
there yet. The abilities, the talents he's got him, but
(13:11):
he played a couple of bad teams. Denver and Washington
are the worst teams, among the worst teams that we
have in pro football. It's not a talent issue. And
people don't get this. The low information fan doesn't get this.
It's about dependability and consistency. You gotta be like Starbucks. Now,
I'm not a coffee drinker. My wife is. You go
(13:31):
into any location of Starbucks anywhere, whether you're in Maine
or Minnesota or Oregon, and you're gonna get an espresso
that's gonna taste pretty much the same. And that's how
they do it because they're consistent, consistency of performance. Justin
Fields ain't that now if he becomes that, Okay, we
(13:54):
can revisit this, but before you send me another message saying,
oh that was terrible, I can't believe it. No, that's
a fact. Even real Bears fans, not the phony Bears fans,
the fanboy Bear fans. I'm talking about hardcore, grizzled Chicago Bears,
Monsters of the Midway fan, that fan. That fan knows
like you're hopeful, but you're also of a mindset like
(14:17):
you gotta see Moore. It's the Missouri state motto. You
gotta do more right, I'm gonna show me state of mind.
So this was a baby step for Justin Fields. Nice
baby step is great. Let's see what he does later
on when they play a team that actually is trying
on defense, that has the fighting spirit, that competes. Because
(14:38):
I didn't see that from Washington, I wish they had
let me know that they were planning on taking the
night off or going half speed. I could have won
some money if i'd bet the other way. I should
also point out I believe Poppy didn't Poppy give out
Washington as his pick. I think he did, if I
remember correctly. Another Poppy space the man is amazing. The
man is I mean unreal how bad he is at
(15:00):
picking games. It's shocking, all right anyway, Yeah, I know
it is the Ban Mallard Show. If you'd like to
be part of this a speak easy addition, and you
can send us like a phone call if you want me.

a snide, nasty comment on there, you can certainly do
that and find me there at band mouch a big night.
(15:45):
We've got lame jokes of the week later on. I
can't wait to hear the Coop Scoop on entertainment without Coop.

we have some like filling content? Who should we have
fill in for coop on the coop scoop of entertainment.
We'll have to We'll have to figure that one out,
(16:06):
and we'll do that on the fly. You've got the

Speaker 5 (17:32):
The tyrac dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Mahler.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
It is great. All you have to do is win
one game in the NFL. And now, if you're the Bears,
Justin Field is going to be an MVP. Parently, Matt
ibra Flus is not a boob the coach, and they're
on their way. That's it. They're on their way. Delusions
of grandeur with the Chicago Bear fan base quarterback just
(18:01):
like that Milkman Mike in Colorado the state of basketball
champions right. So he says a great opening monologue to
kick off the last show of the week. It's not
the last show of the week, Milk comand Mike. I
got a TV show that'll start on later on Friday,
Benny Versus the Penny. I've got a podcast it'll be
on Friday and Saturday and Sunday. No, there's no end, No,
(18:23):
it just goes on. It's a loop. I'm like a
hamster and a treadmill right now. That's what I am.
I'm a hamster and a treadmill, and round and round
and round and round and round. The last terrestrial radio
show of the week is right now, but the podcast,
the Fifth Hour podcast will be with Danny g all
weekend and the TV show with Looney will be up.
So we got that anyway, He says, Justin Fields needs
(18:45):
to have a performance like that against a high quality
defense to be taken more seriously. And I think we
should do breaking news with Marcel always, Comedy Gold always.
Just Josh from deep in the Great State of Ohio,
which I talked to my brother, my older brother, who
lives in New York, and he said, he's going to
(19:05):
be if you'd like to meet my brother. He's going
to be in Toledo this week. And Josh lives in Cincinnati,
but he'll be in Toledo for a wedding. And I said,
who's getting married in Toledo And he said he named
somebody I didn't know. So there's there's a big wedding
apparently of this weekend. Anyway, riverboat Ron the gambling man
said give me more and stopped by the window and
(19:27):
let it all on the Fields. A degenerate performance by him.
Oh high, oh yeah, all right ahead, rights in Benny Brightside,
Just admit, Justin Fields was demand tonight. He played well,
he did Benny Brightside if you want me to be
(19:47):
Benny by Side. But that's I'm not going to say
right now that this means that he's going to be
what the idiots? He won the MVP in the off season.
He got that. But anyway, H. G. Manne in Chicago
writes in he says, Mala monologue was Perfecto. Fields needs
to show me this the rest of the year. Consistency
with that said, ownership blows, management blows. Therefore the rest blows.
(20:10):
By the way, f al touve I love that. And
he says, where's Coop? I don't know. I'm not his mother,
I don't know where he is. He's not here. I
don't know. The company gives off, gives away days off,
and you take him. When you take them, you find
this spox Weed says, who gets the gold bar? Once
(20:31):
you make it then and then he he names I
don't I don't know. I don't know how to answer that.
We all take some calls coming up here in a
couple of minutes, and you can be part of the
fun here. Will take your calls in a second. But
I did want to mention that while the owner of
the Washington football team seemed like he did not have
(20:53):
any concern Josh Harris with the product on the field
being substandard, there is one member of the Washington ownership
group who was offended. Who a man that hosted one
of the most infamous late night TV shows of all time.
If you're old, you remember it, the man from the
(21:14):
Magic Hour. Magic Johnson ripped the Commanders. He's a bit
owner for the Commanders. He tore into their lack of
intensity or fire in the loss of the Bears and
say what you want about Magic. And you know he's
done some goofy things. He's got like grandpa messages on
(21:34):
social media. But he was absolutely right on us, absolutely
right on that. He doesn't send his own messages on X.
What he does is he calls somebody and then he
has a middle person that sends the messages. But he
said tonight, the Commander's played with no intensity or fire.
We didn't compete in the first half and got down
(21:54):
twenty seven to three heading at a halftime. It was
too big of a hole to climb out of, and
that is why we ended up losing. So kind of generic,
but the beginning part of that no intensity or fire
is right. So at least somebody said something from the
Washington football team. And every week there's a story. Every
single Thursday night, there's a story in the blogsphere about
(22:17):
al Michaels either screwing up or saying something that upsets somebody.
And what did he do? Now, Well, Al he was grumbling,
he was mumbling, but he was not stumbling. When the
Chicago Bears, unlike these other teams, unlike these other teams
that other than the Eagles, that can't run the tushy pushy,
(22:40):
it turns out that the Bears did run the play
and actually had success with it.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Go figure.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Take that fry daddy in Pennsylvania who told me that
the only reason the Eagles do it nobody else can
do it is because their offensive line is great and
hurts can squat fifteen thousand pounds and all that. Well,
they were able to pull off the tushy pushy. So
they did it, and Al michaels And and Herb Street
had a back to back. They traded barbes. Herb Street
(23:10):
said there's nothing you can do to stop the tushy pushy,
and that's when Al chimed in and he complained it
was a rugby play and then said nothing except changed
the rule next year. But yeah, so my position on this,
(23:32):
I've evolved my position. I thought that we talked about
this in the off season. I was like, Oh, they're
gonna get rid of it. You know, that's the secret
sauce for Philadelphia. They're gonna get rid of it. And
they didn't get rid of it. I said everyone should
be running it, and not everyone's running it, And a
lot of the teams that are running it looked terrible.
(23:52):
They don't know what they're doing. The Giants, we talked
about this in a previous episode of the show. The
Giants tried to run the tush push in the game
the other night in primetime and they had two players
get hurt on it. They're that bad. So to see
Chicago do it, that's great. I look at the tush
push like I look at it like the shift in baseball.
(24:17):
Right now, it's a little different because you can there
is a way to get around the shift in baseball,
which they banned. But the shift in baseball just hit
the ball the other way bunt and the shift has
been neutered. But baseball they say, oh, we've got to
get rid of you. So it's a little different that respect.
But the fact is, if you know, if you can't
beat it, join it, and so figure out how to
(24:39):
do it. And if your your quarterback is you know,
a string bean, have them lift weights. I'm pretty sure
you have big budgets and you have big meatthead trainers
and things like that that you can have them work
out and squat and do all that stuff. I'm pretty
sure you can do it. Yeah, all right, it is
the Ben Mallor Show. We will take some calls. I
(25:00):
promise we'll get to that. And what better for sports
talk radio than to talk about boy bands? Right? We
don't do it enough of that. We talked about Taylor
Swift a lot lately. What about boy bands? We'll get
into that, but right now, let's get you caught up
on everything going on in these overnight hours. And we
say hello hello to games of note or I guess
(25:25):
there were some college games games of notes or note
Garcia whatever it is game of note, a game of note, Okay,
but there's only really one.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, I'll have to check in on those college games
here on Liberty of what you are?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Good?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Yeah, probably not gonna mention those, but.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
We're not gonna give the Our old Fox Sports radio
colleague Steve Stillwell is a professor, a professor at Liberty.

Speaker 6 (26:23):
Professor Garcia, he's better than radio Well, which thinks, well,
something not saying much and you get your summers off, yes,
I know, and keep getting paid year round.
Speaker 5 (26:34):

And so I guess this encouraged him to get away
from the Mets because they have a new guy, you know,
David Stearns, the Old Brewers GM was officially hired earlier
this week, and so they had to get rid of
(28:51):
Billy Eppler, and so they did. But I, this is this,
Am I missing something? Is that really a big scandal?
Like if it is?
Speaker 5 (29:01):
No, But yeah, unless he was just doing it to
the extreme right, it's like one of those rules you
can get away with. Am I doing it a little bit?
But was he doing it like way over the top
more than everybody?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Well, yeah, come up with injuries that are impossible to
confirm or deny, like lower back injury stuff. There's no
test for you. Gotta you gotta go with that. Yeah. Anyway,
people complaining here, I'm getting messages Eddie from my friends people.
Yes that I did not say I forgot. Apparently I forgot.
(29:34):
You know, I am running on fumes here, Eddie, the
first world problems. But apparently I forgot to send out
the monologue related tweet or X post or whatever. So
people come out. I will send that out, I promise.
I know you look forward to that. We will also
have boy band talk.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
I'm not looking forward to that.
Speaker 7 (29:54):

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Wait, no, it's a good story, Eddie. I would not
do his story if it's not a good story. I know.
I'm on the pulse of the people, Eddie. It's very relatable.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Are they still boy bands? Eddie?
Speaker 1 (30:05):

certain genres of music that you know, you have, the
love songs you have, the rock you have, the R
and B you've got, you know, certain certain categories of music,
and the boy band categories still still there.
