  Speaker 1: Here we go. It's our number three body blow, body blow,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: body blow. The Thrilla in Brazil. As the Cowboys and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Ravens went down to the final seconds in a seven-second defeat.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: As Baltimore gets it done, the final seven seconds, setting
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: up a field goal. Who deserves more blame for the Cowboys' loss?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Coach Brian Schottenheimer, who did not manage the clock well
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and also did not squib kick at the end. Or
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: quarterback Dak Prescott, unable to get in the end zone.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys had it at the two-yard line, and they
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: couldn't get it in. So who gets more blame and why? Also,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield. After three games, blockbuster quarterback or
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: box office bomb, he's hurting in. And true or false,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: we are seeing with the Vikings here the exact same
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: inconsistent Kyler Murray who frustrated Arizona. Is that true or false?
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: We'll discuss that and some other features as well you'll

  Speaker 1: to work. So our lead story this hour from Brazil.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: There's some question about the quality of the field. It
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: looked terrible. And we don't want our professional athletes to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: be hurt. Many people having a hissy fit on social media. Oh,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: my God. They're playing on a field that is not
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: up to NFL standards. And I flashback to my childhood
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: when they played on baseball. They were multi-use stadiums when
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I was a kid. And they had dirt infields for
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: baseball games. It was like a regular occurrence. Half the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: field would be covered in the infield.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: And.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: They played, and believe it or not, they survived. And
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: there used to be this thing called AstroTurf, which was
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: just like a thin layer of carpet, and then it
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: was on top of concrete. So they were essentially playing
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: on concrete, and the players survived. And so they played
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a game in Brazil, and the players survived. And it
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: was a memorable game. The Cowboys looked like they were
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: going to do the impossible, the unbelievable, the unimaginable, until
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: they didn't. They ended up losing 34-31 to Baltimore in
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Rio despite 415 yards and 27 first downs. They had
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of offense. Not enough. So Dallas, they had
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: tied the game. They had it right at the doorstep
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to score a touchdown to take the lead, but instead
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: they had to settle for a field goal. So they
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: had tied the game seven seconds to go after Brandon
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Aubrey kicked a field goal. And you figure, well, the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: game's going to go to overtime. Seven seconds, get the ball,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: down it, boom, go to overtime. It'll be decided by
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: whoever outscores the opponent in overtime. No. Lamar Jackson. Action Jackson.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson hitting Zay Flowers for a 27-yard pass play.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And that set up Tyler loop-de-loop hitting a 56-yard walk-off
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: field goal. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night. Turn
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: at the last. The party's over. Yeah, it certainly is
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Now, Brian Schottenheimer. Getting roasted. He took
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of heat for clock management at the end
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of the game. Also, the squib kick, or not using
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the squib kick to try to burn time off. They
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: kicked it through the end of the end zone. It
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: ended up being a touchback, so the Ravens, on the kickoff,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: they didn't burn any time. And as a result of
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: not burning any time, they had one play. Baltimore had
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: one play, and they took advantage of that. Now, Dak Prescott,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: he said, wait a minute, I'm going to blame the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: offense postgame. Dak blamed the offense there for failing to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: put the game away and scoring that touchdown. He said,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: frustrated as hell, embarrassed. He went on and ranted and
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: all that. All right, here's Dak, a little taste just
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to prove I'm not lying. Here's Dak Prescott postgame in Rio,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and here he is commenting on his Cowboys' latest choke jump. Yeah, frustrated.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Frustrated as hell. Excuse me.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Embarrassed.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: We don't call ourselves the best offense. You know, Gotti
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: and we get down in the one yard line and
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: put it in. Yeah, it just sucks.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Not a lot of.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Words or full explanation of it. Defense shouldn't even have
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: been in that position. You know those guys are over
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: there saying it's on us. Absolutely not. We've got to
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: put the game away.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Period.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: He said this one hurts, the whole thing. So that
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Who deserves more blame? You make the call. Who deserves
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: more blame here on the Cowboys loss? Is it Coach
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer or quarterback Dak Prescott and why? So I've
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: got concierge public access and tugboat. And we will combine
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: all of these things together. And we are going to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: go talk to a tree is what we're going to do.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: So to lead off though, uh, we actually agree with
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Dakota Prescott on this one. Now I know he was
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: trying to be the leader and he probably doesn't believe
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: what he's saying. However, we believe the words of Dak
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Prescott for once, uh, I can't remember the last time
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: we agreed with Dak Prescott, but we agree. He does
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: wear the shame bell, and as he said, the self-titled
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Gotti of offense of the Cowboys. Greatest offense, a Gotti offense.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: And so Dak doesn't get diplomatic immunity. He does not
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: get diplomatic immunity, so let's stop obsessing over the final kickoff.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Dallas had countless opportunities. to render that last snap completely irrelevant.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: They were right there. Prescott makes $ 60 million a year.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure that Jerry Jones is not paying
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Dak Prescott that kind of money to be the concierge
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: at the Field Goal Hotel. But yet, at the end there,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys in position, the gaudy offense to win the game,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and they didn't. Dallas left touchdowns on the table. And
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: it's like those forgotten touchdowns. It's like people leaving their
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: leftovers over at Chili's. You've got to take your leftovers.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: They boxed them up for you. Why are you leaving
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: them on the table? And sure, Brian Schottenheimer, I'm not
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: sitting here saying he didn't screw up the game and
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: all that. But you understand, Brian Schottenheimer's there because Jerry
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Jones wants a coach who's not a big-name coach. He
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: doesn't want a coach that'll take the spotlight away from Jerry.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And so Brian Schottenheimer is the perfect coach. He's just
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: a guy. He's a journeyman NFL coach. But he's got
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: good pedigree because his daddy used to be an NFL coach.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Nobody thinks he knows what he's doing. Schottenheimer's a head coach.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And so he's just kind of out there futzing around
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: or whatever. And so what do you expect? Do you
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: think he's like a great tactician, Brian Schottenheimer? Hell no!
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: No!
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: But he works for a relatively modest salary and doesn't
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: get in the way of Jerry Jones. And so for
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: their business, the Cowboys business, Brian Schottenheimer is the perfect guy.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Dak is paid to make the mistakes of the head
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: coach irrelevant, not to explain them away publicly. afterwards so
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Baltimore's game winner that was a lightning strike by the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Ravens but Dallas settling for three points and I think
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: they had first ago it was a questionable call that
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: set them up I think it was I think it
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: was first to go first and goal to go at
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the two-yard line for the Cowboys and they couldn't get
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it in and so that was self-inflicted Dak had a
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: terrible throw to the to the upper right hand side
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: there he chucked the ball not a catchable pass It
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: was a mess. So score a touchdown. Yeah, you could
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: squib kick, but the squib kick doesn't matter if you
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: score a touchdown, more likely than not, because the Ravens
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: would have had to get a touchdown in seven seconds
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: or maybe even a little more, depending on the time.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: You would have had a little more on the clock
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: if you'd scored earlier in that possession. Now, meanwhile, to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Tampa we go. We've got a bad Baker. A bad
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Baker in the house. Baker Mayfield. Snap, crackle, pop. He
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: dislocated his thumb on his throwing hand. Tampa Bay and Minnesota.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: And this game goes to the Minnesota Vikings. They win
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: by a touchdown. Now, the x-ray showed no fracture. There's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: an MRI scheduled for later on here when the sun
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: comes up on this Monday to determine. Exactly the extent
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: of the damage. There are some reports overnight saying that
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: they believe they got good news in Tampa. Whatever the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: hell that means. Mayfield was injured when his hand struck
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a Viking linebacker's arm on a desperation fourth down pass
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: play late in the fourth quarter. So Tampa Bay off
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: to the 0-3 start. First time since way back in 2014.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: He was a little child back then in 2014. And
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the Buccaneers have now lost 10 of their last 12.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: That does not seem to be going well for Tampa Bay.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, 17 of 34, 217 yards and an interception
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: and six sacks. We like Todd Bowles. He's a much
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: better soundbite than he is a head coach. We enjoy
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: his work, Todd Bowles. He's on the hot seat. Things
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: are not going well for the Buccaneers coach. People questioning
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: his decision to go for it on fourth down and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: all that. Well, anyway, here is Todd Bowles. Listen in
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: as he gives the State of the Union address on
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the Bucs. Take a listen. Funny thing, we're 0-3 and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: we're a game out of first place. So we have
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to get our stuff together.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: We've got to reach down and do more to a coach,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: to a person, to a player. We've got to do
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: more and figure out what we can do more and.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: How can we be better. I fell in love with
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Todd Bowles years ago when the race-baiting media tried to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: get him to fall. They asked him a leading question
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: about being a black head coach, and he just said,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I'm a head coach. And that pissed off those media
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: people so much. That's the day I became a Todd
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Bowles fan. He's always been a good soundbite. He just
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't play the games. And a lot of the media
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: want the coaches to play the games, and Todd Bowles
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't play the games. And I love that. Anyway, let's
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: get to the meat of the matter here. So quarterback
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, the Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield... After three games,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: got the contract. So is this a blockbuster quarterback or
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: box office bomb at this point? So the answer is, bombity, bombity, bombity, bombity, kaboom!
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay paid $ 165 million, I think it was. $ 165 million.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Because you people pressured the Buccaneers, right? The internet, social media,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: not real. Dumb people believe social media. There was a
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: social media grassroots movement. You got to pay Baker. You
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: got to pay Baker. You got to pay Baker. They
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: paid Baker. How's that working out? Should have waited. Could
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: have waited. Didn't do it. Didn't do it. So redemption story.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: And so they paid for the redemption. And somehow, someway...
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: They clumsily ordered the director's cut on the redemption story,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and so they got the Carolina Panther Baker. They got
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the end of Cleveland Baker is what they got, the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: bake show, and now it's the bake sale at this
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: particular point. Things not going well there. Everything's marked down.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: The Buccaneers, I believe, have not one, not two, not three,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: but four offensive touchdowns through three games with Baker Mayfield. Now,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't play in the NFL. I don't think that's good. Oh,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you're being mean, Maller! I know. I know. I think
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: they're trying a lot. We should give them juice boxes
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: because they've scored four touchdowns in three games. Why not?
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: That is not an offense, by the way. If you
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: scored four touchdowns in three games, that is a public
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: access television pledge drive, is what that is. Please, call
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: right now. We'll give you this snow globe. If you
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: donate $ 25, we'll give you a nice snow globe. Why not?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: What the hell? So now Baker... is playing like the
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: guy that got chased out of Cleveland, and he's transforming
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: back into a complete suckbag quarterback. And, oh, by the way,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: he's also hurt now. That seems like it's going well. Yeah,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: why not? Well, Buccaneers, they overpaid, and there you go.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: So now Mayfield not exactly getting it done. The Bucs
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: sitting at 0-3, and Tampa's like, wait a minute. Now,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: as Todd Bowles pointed out, location, location, location. The Bucs
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: are in the right division there. Todd Bowles is getting roasted,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: by the way. This is how pathetic this world is.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: He's getting roasted for going for it on 4th and
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: 13 from his own 39-yard line late in that game. Now,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I will defend Todd Bowles on that coaching decision. What
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: exactly was he supposed to do? Did you expect Todd
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Bowles to just punt the game away and give up
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: at that point down by a touchdown and I believe
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: was the score at that point. And so he doesn't
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: do it. He goes for it, tries to win the game.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: And we defend Todd Bowles on that coaching decision because
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: if he punts, he's a coward. You got to go
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: for it. And he went for it. And Baker Mayfield
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: happened to get hurt on that particular play, hurt his thumb.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: He has an owie on his thumb. And suddenly Todd Bowles,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: according to some on social media, is like Dr. Kevorkian.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: With a headset. Like, really? Okay. You can't coach scared.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: You can't be, oh, I can't run that. I can't
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: run a play here because maybe my quarterback will get hurt.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Tell me you're a loser without telling me you're a loser.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: And you'll be a loser your whole life. You'll be
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: a loser your whole life. So now that means if
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield cannot play this upcoming week, that means that
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: former Kansas quarterback rookie Jalen Daniels will likely start against
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay football team. I'm old enough to remember
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: when the Buccaneers and the Packers were rivals because they
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: were division rival. That sounds painful. All right, meanwhile, the
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: last thing to the Minnesota side of things here, the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Minnesota side of things, the Vikings improve to 3-0 to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: begin the day there, begin the season 3-0 for the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Minnesota football team. They get a win over Tampa Bay,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: but the offense, capital S, struggle. Capital S struggle. Minnesota
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: having more punts than first downs until late in that game.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: The story for the Minnesota football team was Kyler Murray,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the garden gnome, made his first full appearance. Remember, he
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: played in the first game for Minnesota, and then he
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: had an injury, got knocked out early, and missed the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: last game, so he was back. Kyler Murray, first full
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: game as Minnesota's starting quarterback. And how did he do?
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: He attempted 29 little passes, because every pass is little
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: with Kyler. Converted 15 of the 29 for 168 yards,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: one touchdown, and one interception. Now, making matters worse, the
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: star-wide receiver, Justin Jefferson, he sprained his ankle on the
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: opening drive. He was rolled out. The story here, though,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: is about the quarterback, so let's not Pretend it's about
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: something else on the Minnesota side of things. Question, true
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: or false question? True or false question? We are seeing
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: what we're seeing with the Vikings here. What we're seeing
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: with the Vikings, is it the exact same inconsistent Kyler
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Murray who frustrated Arizona? Is that true or false? We
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: are seeing with the Vikings the exact same inconsistent Kyler
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Murray that we saw in Arizona. Is that true or false?
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: So we use the Malheur lie detector and no lies detected. Now, sure,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the Vikings are unbeaten. And congratulations, 3-0, which is wonderful.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Mazel tov. But this mashugana, Kyler Murray, his performance is
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: not wonderful. It's the opposite of wonderful. It's the opposite
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: of wonderful. Now, people don't need to pretend. We can
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: stop pretending now. that Kyler Murray is suddenly just great
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: because he swapped laundry and he's wearing different colored laundry
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and all that. It's like, what did Kyler Murray do
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: on Sunday against Tampa that Carson Wentz couldn't have done?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Is there anything? Because I was flipping around in the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: late television window, but I don't recall anything. I don't
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: recall anything that Kyler Murray did where I said, well,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz couldn't do that. No. In fact, that stat line,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: if I did the Cola Challenge and I said, all right,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: who had this stat line? Is it Kyler Murray or
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: is it Carson Wentz? I bet you most people would say, well,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: that's clearly Carson Wentz. So Minnesota did not acquire the
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: franchise quarterback they inherited. They inherited Arizona's quarterback problem. And
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: they bought it and they're buying it and all that stuff.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: They're getting the Valley of the Sun experience in the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: land of 10,000 yards. They've moved away from the desert scenery.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: So they've gone away from the desert scenery and all that.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like inheriting a little rusted out tugboat.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: And then for some reason it costs more, the tugboat,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to dock than it's actually worth. So you're like, well,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: why do I, I don't want a tugboat. Why did
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I inherit a tugboat? Well, your grandpa had it and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: then he died. And so he wrote it in his will.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: He wanted you to have the tugboat, but I know
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I don't have the money to pay for the docking
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: fees and all that. stuff. Anyway, so you're seeing exactly.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: In Minnesota, you're seeing, here's my guys in the Twin Cities,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you're seeing exactly why the Cardinals swallowed $ 54 million in
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: a dead cap hit to get rid of Kyler Murray. Yeah,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: that's what you get. Alligator Arms Murray logged 18 negative
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: plays for the Vikings, and they still won the game.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: 18 negative plays. Minnesota had 15 third-down plays. They converted
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: two of them. That's 13%, which I'm told is not good.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Even his passing yards were completely misleading. There was a
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: 41-yard pass play to Jordan Addison. that made up nearly 25%
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: of the passing yards for the little fella, Alligator Arms Murray,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and the only score. Now, the Vikings' defense is championship level.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: The Vikings' special teams, they're also doing some heavy lifting here.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: And late in the season, Minnesota, at some point, they're
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: going to need a quarterback to bail them out. And
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: are they going to be able to get it? I
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: wouldn't put my money on Kyler Murray. They already got
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: one bailout in that Green Bay game, but that was
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: more about Green Bay than anything else. So good luck
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: on that. Because it's more likely than not they're going
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: to be giving out a bailout to somebody else with
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray than benefiting from a bailout. We'll take your calls,

• 25:17
  Speaker 1: That's right. We are on in Baltimore now. And our
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: new home on the radio in Baltimore. And I don't
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: think we've gotten a call yet from our new affiliate.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: It's a bad job by our new home in Baltimore.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Come on now. We're on there. You have to welcome us.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: You have to give us the proper Chamber of Commerce
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: welcome and what we need to know about the day-to-day
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: activity in Baltimore. And why have we not gotten that information,

  Speaker 1: that intel? It's a bad job by you. So there's

  Speaker 1: still time. Give us the proper welcome. I expect to

  Speaker 1: a great old time here. An amazing time. But we
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: need to have the proper welcome. Got to pay off the...
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Riddle of the day. Here's the Mallor riddle of the day.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: A blatant attempt to get you to listen a little
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: bit longer. Giselle Bündchen reportedly ended her 13-year marriage to
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady with just three words. According to a new book,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: she looked at blank, and that was it. All right.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Michael in Tulsa says, OU fans wearing Baker Mayfield boxer
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: shorts is the answer. And OG Art Puffin says she
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: told Tom you're not Joaquin after watching a UFC match. Oh,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: is that the guy she cheated on with, the jiu-jitsu guy?
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Is that his name? According to the internet. I hate you,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: according to Femi. What else do we have? We're not
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Malheur aligned, according to Malheur prop guy. Who else do
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: we have? Page down. Robbie the Mariner fan says, Says
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Jumbo Blank Missile is what he said there. Straight Cash
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Homie from Keith Ocho Texto. Retire Old Fart from Eek
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: in Roseville, Minnesota. Trust the Process from Late Night Drug Tester.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Ferg Dogs Twitter, guessed by Asher. Eileen in San Francisco
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: used the same line Robbie used. I don't know that
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: we can use that. I am in the safe harbor,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: so maybe we can't. My goal is just to not
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: get a phone call from management. I just want to
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: enjoy my day. I don't want to get a call
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: from management. So when in doubt, leave it out. JT
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the Wingman says receding hairline is the answer. What else
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: do we have? Page down. Timmy from Busco, Indiana says
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: she looked at his crusty toenails. All right. Keva Tomic
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: says she looked at Tom's Pinterest account. and said, that's it. Boy,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: that Timmy and Busco, that's a nice-looking foot there. What
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: else do we have? Bo Nix, guest by Analog Al.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: She looked at his IQ from Bill. Tiny deflated balls
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: from Ricardo. That's pretty funny. Where's the beef from the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Pizza Papa?
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: All right, the correct answer. Again, the riddle of the day.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Gisele Bundchen reportedly ended her 13-year marriage to Tom Brady,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: America's hero. With just three words, according to a new book,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: she looked at blank and told him we're not compatible.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: The answer would be astrology. She dumped him because of astrology. Andrea. Andrea.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I thought of Andrea. I saw that. I was like, oh, man.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine getting dumped by a chick because of astrology?
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Holy crap. I mean, there's a lot of things women
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: will dump you for, but astrology? Oh, my God. That's
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: a kick to the nuts. I mean, it's one thing.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: If you're not good in bed or whatever, you don't
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: have any money, you're a degenerate. Those are all reasons
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: to dump a guy. But because if you looked at
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the Internet and the star chart doesn't line up, you're
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: going to dump a dude you've been with for 13 years?
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't you have looked at that, I don't know, before
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: you got married? Anyway, all right. Let's say hello. Let's
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: go to the phones. Screaming Steven. A fan favorite is back. Hello,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Screaming Steven.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: You were screaming so much, I couldn't understand what you
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: were saying.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Denver Broncos football rules, because Cooper's back on the phone. Oh,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: let's not get crazy here. Come on. Yeah, I know,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I got the garden gnome, and you.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: Mentioned the garden gnome.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I got the alligator arms Murray in my freaking garden.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: Nice, nice.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: You got Kyler Murray, a little garden gnome there. Celebrate Kyler. Perfect. Yeah.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: I got it from one of my loving daughters, Little
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: Viking Gnome.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Well, what more do you need? I have an important
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: question for you, Ben. Okay, here we go. This is
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: really important. It's very important.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Here in North Dakota, you know.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: You know, that team in Fargo, you probably didn't ever
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: think you'd be talking about him.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: But the Bison are in the Mountain West now. Yeah.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: And I want to make a bet with you. Come on.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: We'll make a bet. What are we making here? What's
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: the bet?
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: If I win.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: The bet, you have to come up with the most
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: amazing fun fact ever about North Dakota.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Okay. All right.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Fair enough.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: I think they.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Can win the Mountain West and win a bowl game.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: So are we betting they're going to win a bowl
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: game or win the Mountain West? I say they will
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: not win the Mountain West. You say they will win
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the Mountain West. So that'll be the bet?
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: No.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: $ 10, 000.
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: Believe it or not, I have not decided whether I'm.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Going to go or not, but I have been invited.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: By a relative to the Dakotas next year.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know, some... I don't. One of my relatives
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: is having a big anniversary thing, and they wanted to...
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I forget where. So I might end up in your area,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: and if I do, I'll let you know. You can
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: come hang out. How about that?
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: I would do that.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: I would love... That would be amazing. All right, so
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: any of the Dakotas, even North or South Dakota. Well,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I live in Northeast. I live like two hours north
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: of Fargo. Oh, okay. So you're up north. I got you.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: So way up by Canada. Oh, really? Right there. Look
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: at that. Is there another state right there? Yeah, I
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: got you. I understand. So now you actually need to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: show up because I remember we used to have this guy,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Jerome and Charleston, that used to call the show. And
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: we did an event in Charleston. It was about a
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: mile from Jerome's house, and he said it was too
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: far away.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I wanted to come to Minneapolis. You were in Minneapolis
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: a couple years ago.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: I actually did live by Minneapolis for 30 years. Oh, yeah,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: we had a great time. I'd love to go back
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: to Minnesota. We had a great time there. It was fun.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: We had a huge turnout.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: And then I moved back.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: And for the second time, I got taken to the cleaners.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I had to move back home and buy my grandma's house. Oh, okay.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: Because I couldn't afford to live anywhere by myself.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Well, these are life lessons, screaming Steven, right?
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: Right, right.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: These things happen in life. No, I'm looking for my
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: future third ex-wife. All right. We could play the dating game. Now,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I'm supposed to play the dating game with Stevie Meatballs.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: We could have like a mallard dating game, but that's
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: usually something we do after football season. That's called filler programming,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: not during football season. We don't need that during football season. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: All right, listen. Number one, I love you screaming, Steven.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: You're amazing. Okay?
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: You guys are great. It's so entertaining listening to you people.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: It's just wonderful.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, who knows? Maybe next year. iHeartRadio. Yeah, Fargo,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: North Dakota. We'll do Fargo. We'll go to the big
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: city of Fargo.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: Well, maybe your relatives from Bismarck or something.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: You don't know, are you? Well, it was very odd.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: We got an invitation. There are a couple of older people,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: and they sent us an invitation in the mail, like
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: old people do. And so my wife kind of said
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: in passing, hey, we got invited to this thing, and
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: it's in the Codas next year. I said, oh, really?
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I said, okay. I'll let you know. I'll let you know.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: All right, I got to go.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: All right, Pete.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Everybody, iHeartRadio the best. There you go. There he is,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: our man Screamin' Steven.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Ben, you had the Who Am I game, or was
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: it the Mallard-Riddle?
• 33:43

  Speaker 1: a game-ending interception, and the referee said, you know what?
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: That's pass interference. Except it wasn't pass interference. A terrible
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: call as the Ram defense back, Josh Wallace, was engaged
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: with Pat Bryant, who looked like LeBron James, the way
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: that he put on a thespian-like performance there. And the referees,
