2:17
Speaker 2: our lead this hour is from Chicago. We have some
2:19
Speaker 2: great audio we're going to play here in a minute,
2:21
Speaker 2: but a follow up, follow up to the follow up,
2:24
Speaker 2: I said, follow up to the follow up as we
2:27
Speaker 2: blatantly suck up to Yafimi and the other listeners in Chicago.
2:30
Speaker 2: So remember the viral story. We talked about it several
2:34
Speaker 2: times in previous episodes of the show. The Bears quarterback
2:38
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, who was the number one overall pick in
2:42
Speaker 2: the number back in twenty twenty four. So Caleb Williams,
2:46
Speaker 2: it's pretty clear he wanted to play for the vit
2:49
Speaker 2: He had a crush on Kevin O'Connell. They had a
2:54
Speaker 2: combine interview and he had puppy dog guys for Kevin O'Connell. Now,
2:59
Speaker 2: his father, that's the father of Cala Williams, spilled the
3:03
Speaker 2: ta spilled it in Seth Wickersham's book, It's an investigative
3:10
Speaker 2: sports journalist. So Kayla wills dad just spill his guts
3:15
Speaker 2: out right, spill his guts out. Said that Williams began
3:20
Speaker 2: to dream of what it would be like to play.
3:24
Speaker 1: For the Minnesota Vikings.
3:27
Speaker 2: Now his dad was also at the same time plotting
3:29
Speaker 2: to get an ownership stake in an NFL team for
3:33
Speaker 2: his kid. No joke, all right, So the Bears new
3:38
Speaker 2: Golden Boy finally commented on all of the crap that's
3:43
Speaker 2: been flying around. I keep in mind, Kayler Williams hid
3:46
Speaker 2: from the media for several days, chose to not answer questions.
3:50
Speaker 1: He had skipped out on it.
3:53
Speaker 2: The whole story about asking for ownership and his love
3:56
Speaker 2: of the Minnesota type Minnesotankans. If you didn't hear what
4:00
Speaker 2: he had to say. Possibly not, Perhaps Caleb was we're
4:03
Speaker 2: gonna plut some audios.
4:04
Speaker 1: It's a long clip.
4:05
Speaker 2: I normally don't play long clips, but it's so cringe
4:08
Speaker 2: I want to play the whole clip that we have.
4:10
Speaker 2: So Caleb Williams addressing the Viking in the room, if
4:15
Speaker 2: you will, his love of the purple people eaters, the
4:19
Speaker 2: Komodo dragon in Minnesota, and we have the audio.
4:22
Speaker 1: Again, it's a long clip.
4:24
Speaker 2: However, you gotta listen closely and try to take some
4:27
Speaker 2: notes as you're listening here if you could.
4:29
Speaker 1: I know you're likely doing something, maybe you're driving or whatever, but.
4:32
Speaker 2: Try to turn up the audio a little bit and
4:34
Speaker 2: just listen cause you're gonna have to count along here.
4:37
Speaker 2: But here's Caleb Williams answering questions about what happened before
4:42
Speaker 2: that draft.
4:42
Speaker 1: Take a list all that went down, all that was said.
4:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had a good visit at the other place
4:51
Speaker 4: Minnesota with Ken O'Connell, good staff and all of that. Obviously,
4:54
Speaker 4: he just won Coach of the Year award and things
4:56
Speaker 4: like that, so obviously good staff and things like that.
5:00
Speaker 4: But something that keeps getting lost, something that keeps getting
5:06
Speaker 4: I think not being addressed the way it needs to
5:10
Speaker 4: be is the fact that you know, I went on
5:13
Speaker 4: that visit, first came here, and then after I came
5:16
Speaker 4: here it was a it was a I went back home,
5:19
Speaker 4: talked to my dad and you know, uh, all of
5:23
Speaker 4: the things that we're supposed to be, these big things
5:27
Speaker 4: that everybody's been talking about recently, one never happened in
5:31
Speaker 4: the sense of they were all thoughts, they were all ideas.
5:35
Speaker 4: And I think if you're in the situation, I think
5:37
Speaker 4: if your son or or or or daughter, anybody is
5:41
Speaker 4: in the situation to be in that position, I think
5:43
Speaker 4: you think about all of the options, and you know,
5:45
Speaker 4: and and and you look at the history and the
5:47
Speaker 4: facts and all these different things, and you know, those
5:50
Speaker 4: are thoughts that they go throughout your head in no situations,
5:52
Speaker 4: So you know, all of those are thoughts. And then
5:55
Speaker 4: after I came to my visit here, it was a
5:58
Speaker 4: it was a deliberate and answer, and deliberate and determined
6:03
Speaker 4: answer that I had that I wanted to come here.
6:07
Speaker 4: And just like Ben spoke about.
6:09
Speaker 1: Okay, I kept going on on and on and on
6:12
Speaker 1: and on.
6:12
Speaker 2: All right, So the plan, as you heard there, there
6:16
Speaker 2: were several things that stood out, But well, I guess
6:20
Speaker 2: why don't we break it down like this, We'll discuss
6:22
Speaker 2: what we just heard.
6:23
Speaker 1: That's Caleb Williams. So what did stand out to you?
6:28
Speaker 2: What stood out to you that sound bite rather lengthy
6:31
Speaker 2: of the Bears quarterback Kayler Williams, his comments about wanting
6:34
Speaker 2: to play for the Vikings and the whole ownership state
6:37
Speaker 2: thing and all that. So I'll go first because I've
6:41
Speaker 2: got the mic, so my observations, I've got the Federal
6:44
Speaker 2: Bureau of Investigations boundaries and dating game, and we will
6:50
Speaker 2: put all of these things together and we're gonna make
6:54
Speaker 2: some deep dish pizza and if you don't want that,
6:56
Speaker 2: we'll give you an Italian beef sandwich. And then for dessert,
6:59
Speaker 2: we're gonna have that shaved ice, and if you don't
7:01
Speaker 2: want that, we'll have the brownies, which I think were
7:03
Speaker 2: invented in Chicago.
7:04
Speaker 1: The brownie.
7:05
Speaker 2: All right, so number wa, I said number But this
7:14
Speaker 2: was this was a hot mess. This that was my
7:16
Speaker 2: first thought. I jotted that down on my notes app
7:19
Speaker 2: on my flaw. That's a hot mess. That was poorly done.
7:22
Speaker 2: They had a lot of time, they knew it was coming.
7:25
Speaker 2: They knew this line of questioning was coming, and it
7:29
Speaker 2: appeared that Caleb Williams had done no prep, that he
7:33
Speaker 2: was coerced into doing it. And we we played the
7:37
Speaker 2: audio because it was so bad it was good.
7:39
Speaker 1: The audio was so bad it was good.
7:43
Speaker 2: Caleb stumbling and bumbling as he tried to articulate he's
7:49
Speaker 2: really well spoken.
7:50
Speaker 1: Unless he's not. That's that's the red flag. Now. One
7:54
Speaker 1: of the things, one of the things.
7:56
Speaker 2: You look for in audio content is roadside bombs.
8:01
Speaker 1: We call them. They're ums and us ums and us
8:06
Speaker 1: our problem.
8:08
Speaker 2: So that sound bite we wrote down eighty five seconds,
8:11
Speaker 2: one minute, twenty five seconds, was the sound bite Caleb Williams,
8:15
Speaker 2: the face of the Chicago Bears.
8:18
Speaker 1: Said um or ah? How many times better?
8:23
Speaker 2: Yet, what percentage of that was um and AWE survey
8:30
Speaker 2: says thirty two point nine percent of that sound bite
8:37
Speaker 2: was Caleb Williams saying um or ah, Oh great? Is
8:44
Speaker 2: that that's the face of the Chicago Bears twenty eight
8:49
Speaker 2: times in eighty five seconds Caleb Williams said um or uh.
8:55
Speaker 1: And those are conversation managers.
8:57
Speaker 2: That is a sign when you say and awe, you're
9:01
Speaker 2: announcing you're having trouble communicating every once in a while.
9:05
Speaker 1: It's fine. We all say it every once in a while.
9:07
Speaker 2: However, in a one minute, twenty five second sound clip,
9:10
Speaker 2: when you say it, thirty two point nine percent of
9:13
Speaker 2: the time, we got a problem. We have a problem.
9:18
Speaker 2: The word um and awe is where you put something
9:22
Speaker 2: while you're trying to find what you really want to say,
9:25
Speaker 2: trying to remember a talking point memo that you were
9:29
Speaker 2: told to repeat, a piece of information that you're supposed
9:32
Speaker 2: to pair it to the media, which leads us to
9:36
Speaker 2: the Federal Bureau of Investigations, a book that I have
9:40
Speaker 2: referenced many times over the years, how to Spot Lies
9:44
Speaker 2: like the FBI. It's a book that tells you about
9:47
Speaker 2: body language clues.
9:49
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams.
9:50
Speaker 2: You can't see what we played because it's audio only. However,
9:55
Speaker 2: it is available cayleb Williams. His eyes were darting back
9:58
Speaker 2: and forth.
10:00
Speaker 1: That is a sign dead.
10:02
Speaker 2: Give what It is a sign when your eyes are
10:04
Speaker 2: going back and forth that you feel uncomfortable.
10:08
Speaker 1: Uncomfortable? Could it be because you're lying?
10:11
Speaker 2: Also, there was a little bit of face touching there,
10:14
Speaker 2: a little bit of an itch type situation. That's normally,
10:17
Speaker 2: what happens when you're not telling the truth if you
10:20
Speaker 2: look up to the right.
10:21
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams did look up to the right.
10:24
Speaker 2: Right handed people usually look up to the right when
10:27
Speaker 2: they're inventing an answer. And then these are all the
10:31
Speaker 2: dead giveaways that he was playing fast and loose with
10:36
Speaker 2: the truth.
10:36
Speaker 1: But wait, there's war.
10:38
Speaker 2: So in that rather long sound by Caleb Williams downplayed
10:42
Speaker 2: the chatter that his father wanted to get a.
10:44
Speaker 1: Bear's ownership stake.
10:47
Speaker 2: He essentially dismissed it, saying that anyone who's drafted would
10:51
Speaker 2: like to own part of an NFL team, circumventing the
10:54
Speaker 2: NFL draft, which was on.
10:57
Speaker 1: The table all together.
11:00
Speaker 2: Cayla Williams's response was, they were all thoughts, they were
11:04
Speaker 2: all ideas.
11:06
Speaker 1: That's it.
11:06
Speaker 2: Both quote, what is your perspective on Caleb Williams downplaying
11:12
Speaker 2: the idea that what happened was just thoughts and ideas
11:17
Speaker 2: and there's nothing here. The new again Golden Boy of
11:22
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears, the Great Messiah, the Great Savior, finally
11:25
Speaker 2: commenting on all of this stuff, and that's what he said,
11:30
Speaker 2: the timeless words of an old radio man back in
11:33
Speaker 2: the day. Everything begins with an idea. Everything good and
11:38
Speaker 2: bad an idea. Somebody had an idea. Whatever you think's
11:41
Speaker 2: cool started with an idea. If you're into AI, hey,
11:47
Speaker 2: people like it. It started with an idea, if you
11:51
Speaker 2: enjoy a good nuclear bomb, That was an idea.
11:56
Speaker 1: This was a calculated media push. It was not well done.
11:59
Speaker 1: It was sloppy.
12:01
Speaker 2: But I'm talking about prior to the draft, when they
12:03
Speaker 2: were working and trying to get Caleb Williams to get
12:06
Speaker 2: an ownership stake. They wanted to test the boundaries and
12:10
Speaker 2: see how far the Caleb Williams hype train could take them.
12:15
Speaker 2: These were not just random.
12:17
Speaker 1: Thoughts in the shower while you're putting shampool on your head.
12:21
Speaker 1: This was serious noise.
12:23
Speaker 2: Prior to the draft, people were saying that he was
12:27
Speaker 2: gonna pull an e Li Manning, Elijah the Punk, and even.
12:32
Speaker 1: Worse, just forget the draft altogether.
12:37
Speaker 2: Again, testing boundaries, testing boundaries, we.
12:42
Speaker 1: Become what we think. We become what we think.
12:44
Speaker 2: Every one of us, you, me, everyone, We are the
12:49
Speaker 2: sum total of our thoughts. So Caleb Williams dad contacted
12:54
Speaker 2: some lawyers, gave them a couple of bucks, and they
12:58
Speaker 2: determined after reading the contract the union contract between the
13:03
Speaker 2: players and the NFL that they could not could.
13:07
Speaker 1: Not get a piece of the team. You see, the
13:08
Speaker 1: problem is you can't.
13:10
Speaker 2: Own part of a team while you're playing for the team.
13:15
Speaker 1: It's not how the NFL works.
13:18
Speaker 2: Classic case of the modern star athlete who's had their
13:23
Speaker 2: toes licked going back to high school thinking they are
13:27
Speaker 2: a corporation before they have done anything. It is a
13:31
Speaker 2: failure as an NFL quarterback. The one accomplishment that he
13:34
Speaker 2: has is the king of all sacks. So congratulations for
13:37
Speaker 2: the modern times. All right, Final point to Green Bay
13:42
Speaker 2: the frozen Tundra. The draft which was held way back
13:49
Speaker 2: a month ago, shortly after the Packers selected Matthew Golden.
13:54
Speaker 2: It's a great name, it's a solid name. Wide receiver,
13:57
Speaker 2: Matthew Golden out of Texas with the number two, twenty
14:00
Speaker 2: two pick in the very first round of the draft,
14:02
Speaker 2: which does not happen.
14:04
Speaker 1: The Packers do not normally do this. So Jaden Reid,
14:08
Speaker 1: who's also a wide receiver, he's been around for a
14:10
Speaker 1: couple of years.
14:11
Speaker 2: His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, reached out to the chiefs head
14:15
Speaker 2: Brass and said, we got to talk. We have to
14:18
Speaker 2: have a conversation. We need to know a status update.
14:24
Speaker 2: We need a status update now that you've drafted not
14:28
Speaker 2: only Matthew Golden, but they took another receiver relatively high.
14:32
Speaker 2: So he was asked about this his status, and he said, quote,
14:36
Speaker 2: a lot of people were talking about Jayden Reid. He
14:38
Speaker 2: said a lot of people misinterpreted that he claimed at OTAs.
14:45
Speaker 2: So Jordan Reid says, people misinterpreted the rumor that his
14:49
Speaker 2: agent contacted the packers and he was assured of being
14:52
Speaker 2: the wide receiver number one? So does any of that
14:57
Speaker 2: make sense? Does any of that make sense? So this
15:00
Speaker 2: is a trip to the fund zone, is what is?
15:03
Speaker 2: Hop on the merry go round, go round, and round
15:06
Speaker 2: and round, Hop on the Merry go round. He knows
15:08
Speaker 2: this is a bad look. Every man, woman and child
15:13
Speaker 2: knows this is a bad look. Even our friend in
15:15
Speaker 2: Dallas with all our cats, the cats, even though this
15:18
Speaker 2: is a battle. Why it's unbecoming if you need someone
15:23
Speaker 2: to tell you that you're a wide receiver one. Spoiler alert,
15:28
Speaker 2: you're not a wide receiver one. It's kind of like
15:30
Speaker 2: the dating game. If you're out dating and you have
15:34
Speaker 2: to ask where you stand in a relationship, you're not
15:39
Speaker 2: that important.
15:39
Speaker 1: You're likely going to get ghosted, or maybe you've already
15:42
Speaker 1: been ghosted.
15:43
Speaker 2: See you think justin Jefferson in Minnesota has to contact
15:47
Speaker 2: the Viking Brass and say, am I the number one receiver?
15:51
Speaker 1: Am I still the number one option? Is a rhetorical question. Obviously,
15:54
Speaker 1: Green Bay has not had a true hop.
15:57
Speaker 2: Receiver since they said bye bye to Devonte Adams and
16:02
Speaker 2: traded his ass to the Raiders so he could be
16:04
Speaker 2: a bust in Vegas and now he's on the Rams.
16:08
Speaker 2: But Jaden Reid, who has led the Packers in receiving
16:12
Speaker 2: yards each of the past two seasons, and yet they
16:16
Speaker 2: still decided.
16:17
Speaker 1: They had to get other people.
16:19
Speaker 2: They had to use a first round pick to fill
16:23
Speaker 2: that hole, which tells you everything you need to know.
16:27
Speaker 2: Follow the breadcrumbs, follow the draft picks. If you were
16:31
Speaker 2: very happy with what you had, you wouldn't have gone
16:33
Speaker 2: out and added another player at that position. That's just
16:37
Speaker 2: how this works. That's a simple equation on how this
16:43
Speaker 2: all breaks down. It is the Ben Malor Show as
16:46
Speaker 2: we are working our way through the overnight. If you'd
16:48

20:06
Speaker 2: That show is going to be destroyed by ESPN, but
20:09
Speaker 2: we'll enjoy it while at lasts one more episode and
20:12

20:19
Speaker 1: That'll be coming up.
20:20
Speaker 2: A firm dog writes in from Sokal. He says, I
20:24
Speaker 2: had to pause my video game to pay attention to
20:27
Speaker 2: the long clip and the monologue, but it was worth
20:30
Speaker 2: I wouldn't trust a thing, Caleb says, unless I'm asking
20:34
Speaker 2: him what color to paint my fingernails.
20:37
Speaker 1: Oh, he knows all about that. All about that.
20:39
Speaker 2: Perto says, a plus on the Mallard monologue, But what

21:11
Speaker 1: Palmer House in Chicago.
21:14
Speaker 2: I thought it was it like the World's Fair or
21:16
Speaker 2: something like that, but I guess you're probably right the
21:18
Speaker 2: Palmer House in Chicago. I've been to Chicago many times.
21:22
Speaker 2: I've not been to the Palmer House. I'm guessing they
21:24
Speaker 2: charge a fortune because it's where the brownie was invented.
21:28
Speaker 1: And oh my god, a lot of money spent.
21:32
Speaker 2: You can send us a message at Ben mallor that's

Speaker 1: Where have you been? We were here every night we've
22:17
Speaker 1: done the show.
22:17
Speaker 2: You I think you pop into the show and then
22:20
Speaker 2: you vanished for like a month or two and then
22:22
Speaker 2: you come back to the Show's very odd.
22:24
Speaker 6: That's not odd, just that you know, being I might
22:28
Speaker 6: used to be on a hole for like four hours,
22:29
Speaker 6: but for your show, I could listen to the show.
22:32
Speaker 1: And you're not on a hole for four hours.
22:35
Speaker 6: But not tonight. It was this morning. The thing is,
22:38
Speaker 6: somebody asked me, A couple of people ask me give
22:41
Speaker 6: me the three really best radio shows out there now.
22:45
Speaker 6: I guess they felt that I could be able to
22:47
Speaker 6: answer that question. I told them Ben Malla, Joe Beningo
22:51
Speaker 6: and how we call and Cause like a political show,
22:54
Speaker 6: but you and Joe or sports shows. I think you
22:57
Speaker 6: guys are two best. And with Caitlin Clark, all Caitlyn
23:02
Speaker 6: Clark has got to do. If I was like, you know,
23:04
Speaker 6: advise all she has to do is turn into Bobby Clark.
23:07
Speaker 6: That's all she has to do. And I guarantee this
23:11
Speaker 6: audience how problems will be over by the first half. Okay,
23:16
Speaker 6: And people don't know who Bobby Clarke is. He was
23:19
Speaker 6: one of the yeah, one of the top flyers.
23:21
Speaker 7: He was.
23:22
Speaker 6: He was a top guy. But he was a very
23:24
Speaker 6: good player, a very good offensive player and defensive player.
23:27
Speaker 6: And he was a rough guy on the on the items.
23:30
Speaker 6: And that's all she's got to do, you know.
23:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think she's doing.
23:33
Speaker 2: She's doing okay, though they're making money hand over fast.
23:36
Speaker 1: She's not playing for like the next couple of weeks.
23:38
Speaker 2: But it'll help her out because no one's going to
23:40
Speaker 2: watch these w NBA games because nobody gives a crap
23:43
Speaker 2: about the w NBA.
23:44
Speaker 1: They only care about Kaitlyn Clark. So she doesn't have
23:46
Speaker 1: to worry about.
23:47
Speaker 2: Losing her Her star stature is going to get higher
23:51
Speaker 2: and higher, as you know, Steven Manhattan, because they'll show
23:54
Speaker 2: the ratings and no one will be watching, and they'll say, well,
23:57
Speaker 2: then she's gonna come back, and then people are gonna
23:59
Speaker 2: start watching.
24:00
Speaker 1: There you go, It's it's what happened.
24:04
Speaker 6: Nobody watches the games. Nobody goes to the games and
24:08
Speaker 6: they and they still get like TV contract. I mean,
24:11
Speaker 6: we know, subsidized by the NBA. I clients to call
24:14
Speaker 6: it like an affirmative action program, you know, for women's basketball.
24:19
Speaker 6: And listen if you if you have a sport like
24:23
Speaker 6: that where people started getting interested into it because of
24:26
Speaker 6: one particular player being Caitlin Clark. And then we're putting
24:29
Speaker 6: the audience to sleep told about the w n B
24:31
Speaker 6: A two days. We won't talk about w n B
24:34
Speaker 6: A and soccer on these sports shows. But the thing is,
24:37
Speaker 6: you start throwing her around like a rag doll. I mean,
24:40
Speaker 6: I almost came close to watching the game and I said,
24:43
Speaker 6: not forget it. Come on, she's getting mugged. What happened
24:47
Speaker 6: to her happened to anybody on the streets in New
24:50
Speaker 6: York City. She's basically getting bugged in the court and
24:52
Speaker 6: people are making excuses for it. It turns off a
24:55
Speaker 6: lot of people.
24:56
Speaker 1: You know, all right, you're very dramatic. You know that
24:58
Speaker 1: you're very dramatic, very dramatic.
25:02
Speaker 6: I'm being truthful about what's taking place there. You know,
25:06
Speaker 6: you know, you know, this is like the they used
25:10
Speaker 6: to be fighting football leagues they used to have. Every
25:12
Speaker 6: decade they used to start up a new league and stuff,
25:15
Speaker 6: and nobody would watch. They have no money and they'd
25:17
Speaker 6: run out of money. But they never had nothing like
25:20
Speaker 6: this where they had to play. Where you would bring
25:22
Speaker 6: it an interest, people get interested in it. But some
25:25
Speaker 6: clown paid four hundred million to be a part owner
25:28
Speaker 6: of the Liberty who I wouldn't give them two bucks
25:31
Speaker 6: to be a tea but four hundred million. Listen, the
25:34
Speaker 6: owner of our teams has made just made out of
25:37
Speaker 6: like a bandit on that and for sure, for sure?
25:40
Speaker 1: How many other shows are you calling tonight?

26:09
Speaker 6: more popular than the host, you could say bye bye

Speaker 6: the show. You ain't yetting on that show anymore. You know,
26:15
Speaker 6: one guy banned me. You know, the calls were calling,
26:19

Speaker 1: Definitely not. Yeah, and that's it.
26:27
Speaker 6: I wasn't going to get on the shows and that
26:29
Speaker 6: radio station. Basically, I call it now that they try
26:32
Speaker 6: to come up with names from the shows. It's a
