  Speaker 1: Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number one, our number one,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: and a happy Tuesday to you. It is the ninth
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: day of September and we had a humdinger of a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Monday night game here on the Ben Maler Show. We reacted,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: we said up all night to react to the Vikings
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Bears game as Minnesota came storming back in the fourth
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: quarter down double digits and they pulled out the win.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: How did you grade though the better story in the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: losing locker room? How did you grade Ben Johnson's debut
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: as head coach in the Windy City? An epic choke
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: job at the end? What did you make of Cabb
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Williams maiden voyage under this new offensive system for the Bears?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: And give me your reaction to JJ McCarthy his first
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Viking start, which wasn't much of anything for three quarters,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and then quite the juxtaposition in the fourth and final period.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: It is our number one.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Now that is the full Chicago Bears experience right there,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: big money coach, number one draft pick, and wow that sucked.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Welcome in the beginning. Come another night of the Ben
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Mahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere, birds of
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: a feather.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: As we are rolling and strolling through the overnight hours,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: coast to coast, border to border and beyond. On the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: vast and downright, powerful microphones of fs are ammundating live
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: from the eye do it low, the eye of the hurricane,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the world famous Fox Sports radio studios. That Bears found
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: themselves in a bit of a late hurricane there. And
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we know that this portion of the Ben Maler Show
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: on Fox made possible apart by our friends at ty Iraq.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: like mister Irrigation find the right tires for how, what
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and where they drive. That's right alf and for doukship
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: fast and freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the way tire buying should be. So our lead this
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: hour to begin the night. We start out from sweet Home, Chicago,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: right there the shores of Lake Michigan, iconic Soldier Field,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: so iconic the Bears can't wait to leave there and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: go to a new stadium out in the suburbs. But
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: for now they're still playing at Soldier Field. They'll be
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: there for a couple more years until they build that
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: new shiny taj Mahall Stadium and then gouge people to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: go to the stadium. That's the way businesses done in
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the NFL anyway. So Soldier Field, that was the stage
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: right there, with the skyline of Chicago on one side,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and then you had the lake on the other Lake
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Michigan there and the final act of the opening weekend
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the NFL twenty twenty five season, Vikings and Bears and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: FC North slobber Knocker, slabber knocker. Now, this was an
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: island game. You know, we love our island games. We
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: love island games. So if you were watching, you likely
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: know what happens. It happened. If not, maybe if you
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: were watching, you might not have paid attention. This game
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: is over. Perhaps you missed it, but don't worry. We
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: watched so you would not have to. In a very
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: shaky beginning, they're very wobbly, wobbly beginning for JJ McCarthy,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the rookie, even red shirt rookie, red shirt rookie JJ McCarthy,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: who then in the fourth quarter went bonkers. He had
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: not one but two fourth quarter touchdown passes ran for
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: another score in his long awaited NFL debut, the former
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: first round draft pick. The Vikings snapped out of the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: duldrums dreadful performance and they end up getting and when
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you only remember the outcome, you won't remember how bad
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the game was from the Minnesota side of things for
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: three quarters. But they end up winning it on a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: big push twenty seven to twenty four over the Bears.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: So that's good for the Vikings for our purposes, though,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the better story is in the losing locker room. So
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that is where we are going to go, Sweet home
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bear football right there. Holy crap. So the debut
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of Ben Johnson as the Chicago Bears head coach, the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: big money coach who's spent time as the Lions offensive
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: coordinator and that's where he built his legacy, and so
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: many teams wanted Ben Johnson to be the coach, and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: here's his opportunity in Chicago, and he inherited the former
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: number one overall per in Caleb who call Williams, who
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: is bounced all over the place in college and now
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. Looks like he should be bouncing somewhere else.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: The way he played in this game. So with the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: better story being in the losing locker room, let us
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: discuss for the esteem panel, how did you grade Ben
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Johnson's debut as a coach in the Windy City. So
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I've got utility Bill, the coasters, and hearse, and we
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together, and we're going
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to make the Baba Ganooche. We're gonna make it early.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: We're gonna make the Baba ganooge here early on. So
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: my first thought here as we connect all these things together,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: my first thought is, and I wrote this down, how
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: do you grade Ben Johnson on the Malor report card?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: How do you grade his debut as coach of the Bears?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson the Malor report card? I wrote down. I
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: didn't write down an A. I wrote down, s O B. Now,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: not what you think, not what you I wrote down,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Same old Bears. That's what I wrote. You probably thought
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: it meant something else, Same old Bears. That's that's right.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: They dominated for three quarters. We're really dominated for two
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: quarters defensively part of a third. The big interception there.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: They did control. The tempo was a low scoring game.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Minnesota could not get out of their own way and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Yet when it was time to finish the opponent off
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the kill shot and put them six feet under. What
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: happened not good. Chicago decided to slide into their snuggie.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: The Bears there and they went into hibernation mode and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: it burned them. It burned them. Proof that there is
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: no such thing as momentum. The Bears had all the momentum,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: should have won the game. Minnesota had no momentum. Why
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: would the Bears give up momentum? It makes no sense
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: because it's not real, you dummies. Anyway, So the Chicago
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Bears hired Ben Johnson, who is on the pulse of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: He's at the forefront of modern offensive NFL football. That
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: was the selling point of Ben Johnson, right, slick agent,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. And so there we go. Instead of
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the next gen, which is all the nerd rage, the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: next gen and all that, this was the dormant Bears,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and it was a Bear jamboree, a country bear jamboree. Here.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Every time they had a chance, and there were multiple
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: opportunities to deliver the knockout punch and just end the game,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: they tapped out, I can't do it, cannot do it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Not gonna happen. Instead, they landed, They landed some little
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: jabs they couldn't land the haymaker could not land the haymaker,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and Ben Johnson's team pulling punches, which you generally don't
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: want to see. Listen, I have no skin in the game,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and I'm not a Bears fan or anything like that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: But the power went out and they forgot to pay
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: their utility bill, and then he needed it most. They're
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: late in the game, just make one or two plays
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: who win the game, and they had nothing, so they
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: forgot to pay the utility bill. There at Soldier Field,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the power went out. And this is not just a loss,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: mind you, this is two losses for the Chicago Bears,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: because not only lose at home, but you lose a
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: divisional game in what figures to be a pretty close
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: nip and talk division. So now you've really lost two
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: games at home and in the division for the Bears.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: That's a double gut punch, is what that is. And
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: this is supposed to be the New Bears, right, the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: new Bears, all that crap that we read and heard about,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Oh it's gonna be different now, oh yeah, it's gonna
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: be different. Okay, So the job was to protect home
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: field advantage soldier field. Instead, you hand the w to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the Vikings because as much as we're gonna rip the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: offense for the Chicago Bears, the defense. Also, what happened
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: there to the Chicago Bears defense. I guess Dennis Allen's
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: back to being a moron after we were really just
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: kissing his ass on the TV. Brock just oh, Dennis
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Allen's defense and all that stuff for three quarters and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: then in the fourth not so much. Now as for
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the inevitable.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: It's it's only one game. Why do you have all
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: these strong opinions after one game? You know that crowd
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: spoiler alert, spoil Guess what? Guess what. It's a daily
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: talk show. I am. I asked to give my opinion
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: as things unfold. They don't ask me to wait to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the end of the year. I've told management, I said, listen,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: why don't you just pay me a lot of money.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I'll have no opinions. I'll be boring. There's a lot
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: of people that do this that are very boring, don't
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: know a strong opinion, and I'll just do that and
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: then just give me like a big bag of money.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: At the end, I'll never get an opinion wrong. It'll
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: be wonderful, it'll be glorious, it's great. But this is
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: all we have to judge the Bears on. All we
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: have is one game, one game to judge Ben Johnson
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: on and the other factor. And I noticed this watching
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the way the Bears were throwing the football around, Like
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the margin for error in that style of offense for
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears is razor thin. And
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: it's a pass half offense. That's what they do. They
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: incorporate the running game via short passes and all that stuff.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: But you're playing outdoors, you're not playing in a dome
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: like you were with the Detroit Lions. You've got that
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: win from Lake Michigan. Swirling around when it gets later
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: in the year becomes a big problems like a blender
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: goes swirling around. You've got that to deal with. You've
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: also got the occasional dormant weather, whether it's fog or
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: snow when you get late in the year, assuming you
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: even have a mathematical chance of leaning those games and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: having them mean something. If you're the Chicago Bears and
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: you're struggling in September weather, And I mean, just you
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: think about what's gonna be like down the line in Chicago,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and it's like wow. And so that's why you can't
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: call it progress. They lost the game. They rode the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: vomit comet and they crashed it into the side of
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the building there. Man, it was bad. It's a piecemeal
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: effort to close the game. Did they think they were
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: gonna play with a running clock or something like that,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, here's Ben Johnson, the man of
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the hour. Here is the coach of the Chicago football team,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: pointing out the key to wins and losses. Take a
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: us disappointing way to start the season there for us.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: You think you can have a seventeen to six lead,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, did go the way it did there
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. You know, we said going into
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Week one that the team that would make the least
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: number of mistakes would win the game, and unfortunately we
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: were on the wrong side of that. We made too
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: many there late in the game. Myself included Yeah, So
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the coaches always have to include themselves in that. You
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: can never say to the players. You always have to say, well,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I'm part of that when when you most coaches are like, well, no,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not. That's these are the idiots that screwed up.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't screw up. They screwed up. They have to up.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I had a good game plan, they didn't listen. It's
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a bad job by so shame on them. The new
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: shiny offense right, looked look shiny for but ten of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: ten to start the game for Caleb Williams. And then
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and then things started popping up that weren't to pop
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: up there. The Bears teased you, they gave some hope.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: There were people excited that, oh this is great, Bears
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: are gonna get off to the one and oh start
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and then they pulled the rug right from underneath you
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and Caleb Williams is a debut in the new offense.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Not a lot of fireworks, and for the balance of
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the game there it was more like a sparkler, not
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: explosive pyrotechnic. It was more of a sparkler and it
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: fizzled out before the game ended. Batch out by him
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: all right. Now. Secondly, speaking of that wide angle ents
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: wide angle, NZ, what did you make of cavib williams
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: maiden voyage as the new Chicago Bears offense gets put
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: into place. So what do you think? So it was
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a tune that topped the hot one hundred back in
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the day from the Coasters called yackety Yac and the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: song goes, yakay ac, don't talk back. In this case
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: it was yackety act don't fight back. That's the Bears.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: They just they had the lead. The Vikings said we
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: want this. The Vikings took it, and the Bears were
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: that's what they did. And Caleb Williams, it turns out
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: he's multitasking. He's actually moonlighting Caleb Williams as an elevator operator.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I know they don't have many of those left. I
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: know if you go down to the Hotel del Cornado
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: there in San Diego, they have elevator operators. And so
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: he was leaving the elevator door open. He hit the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: button that says leave doors open, and he left it
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: wide open. He said, come on in, come on in Minnesota, Vikings.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a ride right to the penthouse where
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: there's serving w's. You can have one. Knock yourself out.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: So here is Caleb Williams, a man that always has
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the best looking nails on the football field, and here
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: is him talking about a bunch of gibberish about this,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that and the other. Mentality.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: We'll take all this that mentality, mentality, have something that
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: we know that we preach.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: And does that work it out?
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: And I'm not it's not a play call thing, it's
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: not a anything like. That's just being able to go
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: out there and execute the players that are called and
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: be able to you know, EXECUTEHM at a high level.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: And that's something.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: That we take pride in. And you know, today that
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: didn't happen, and we're going to get back to it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: The good news is Caleb went out, he found in
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: All Night parlor. He got a manny and a petty
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: after the game, so he's feeling a little pressed, but
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: he got the manny and the petty, so he's in
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: good shape. All right. Now, How bad was Caleb to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: allow the Vikings to come back, right, because it's not.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: You can't just come back and win a game unless
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: other team sucks. Remember we talked about this in the
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Sunday Night game where the Bills cannot mathematically come back
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: without the thumbo bug on the rug by Derrick Henry. Well.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: In this game, it was just consistent suck in the
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: second and third quarters where the Bears had opportunities. Talked
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: about that to close the game out, for example, I
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: went back, I did the Malord math in the second
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: and third quarter. Caleb Williams attempted seventeen passes. He completed
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: less than fifty percent of them. He averaged les less
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: than five yards per attempt. He was horrible. And so
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: what was missing? Well, after a minute long deliberation on
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the difference between the offense the Lions had with Ben
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Johnson and the offense we saw from the Chicago Bears,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the thing that was missing, the secret sauce for Ben
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Johnson and the Lions was the yards after the catch
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: of the yak at the yac and they didn't have
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that right Detroit would turn and he still he didn't
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: do it much against Green Bay, but they'll turn that.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Those little swing passes and the big chunky Peter peanut
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: butter plays and all that good stuff. You'll stick to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: your mouth kind of peanut butter. Hard to defend. The Bears. Now,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: they did have a couple of big plays, but not
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: enough and more smooth peanut butter. Smooth peanut butter, creamy,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: easy to swallow and no bite. There's really no bite
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: to it. A few extra yards, but it was mostly
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: catch and crash is what it was. All right, now,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: final though, So we go now to the winning locker
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: room where it looked pretty bleak. It looked pretty bleak
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: for a long stretch of time, but in the end,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings came back. And so give me your
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: reaction to JJ McCarthy in his first start with the Vikings.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Is the glass half full or is the glass half
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: empty on the first go round of JJ McCarthy. So
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: what a juxtaposition? Why don't we start with that? What
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a juxtaposition? Because the first three quarters of this game,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I was texting some friends and we were going back
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and forth and say, wow, this is one of the
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: worst performances I can remember, Like, this guy looks like
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: he'd never played football before. Holy crap. You could literally
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: see him urinating down his leg. It was wild. And
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: so you go from that where he was having a
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: nice meal at the Shaky's Pizza parlor and you know,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: just the sticky floors, kind of the low quality pizza,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the mojo potatoes, and the pitcher of flat soda had
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: all that going for him, and he's just sitting there,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: not even close to looking like he knows what he's
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: doing as an NFL quarterbacks, Like wow, it was like
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: he was living in Pukesville. And how bad was he?
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked. So the first three quarters of
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: an NFL game, JJ McCarthy was at seven of twelve passing,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: which is not good average less than five yards per
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: pass attempt. Had fifty six total yards passing through three
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: quarters of the game, one interception that was a pick
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: six to give the Chicago Bears an extra score, a
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: passer rating of thirty five point four going to the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. That was the passer ready. So that means
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: that they, they being the Minnesota Vikings, would have been
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: better off off calling up a hearse and holding a
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: mock funeral procession for the duke and burying the duke,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: putting the duke, putting the duke down in the ground, right,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and then just ordering some tombstone pizza and that's it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: See you later. Because the fun fact that we will
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: use this from time to time. If McCarthy had just
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: spiked the ball every single time he had snapped the ball,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: if he'd spiked the ball every single time into the ground,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: his passer rating would have been thirty nine point six. Statistically,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: he was actually worse by attempting to pass than if
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: he had not passed. And it wasn't just bad, it
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: was historical bad for McCarthy for three quarters. Like it
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: was worse than just don't screw up, just kind of
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: be a game manager, that's the baseline. Like the Vikings
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: essentially played three quarters of an NFL game with a
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: mannequin at quarterback. That's what they had and it didn't match.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: The Bears still left the door open. We talked about this,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams leaving the door open, the opportunity of the air,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and they took advantage of it. Now, Kevin O'Connell is
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the Viking head coach. I'm sure he's not going to
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: say anything negative about the first three quarters of JJ McCarthy. Instead,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: we'll focus on the end of the game. Is that correct,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: coach JJ McCarthy.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: For him to make some of the plays he did,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: I told him at halftime, you are going to bring
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: us back to win this game, and the look in
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: his eye was fantastic. The best thing is just a
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: belief I felt from the team unit, and ultimately that
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: doesn't get done without him. In the second half, two
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: passing touchdowns and then the critical rushing touchdown.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: You smell that, Yeah, bull crap, that is bull crap.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: That is hot bull crap by Kevin O'Connell. Holy crap,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: what a dummy I told him? Yeah? Is that why
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: he went out after halftime and threw a pick six
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: in the third quarter? Is that why, coach? Because you
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: had told him, let's make it even worse, let's dig
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: a bigger hole. Why not? Why not? Oh? Man, Well
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: he did light it up in the fourth quarter, but
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: man alive. It was like a cheat code there late.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: But the first three quarters. Greek tragedy goes from it.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: We talk about a rewrite. It goes from a Greek
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: tragedy where everyone's dead, the stage is covered in blood
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to a Shakespearean comedy. All's well, that ends. Well, just
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: like that there, and unfortunately there is a problem. You
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: cannot just live like that in the NFL. Obviously, right,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: you can't stink for forty five minutes and then expect
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: to play Superman in the fourth quarter. That generally doesn't happen.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: It's not Disneyland, it's not like that and it's not sustainable,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: so good luck. We'll give him credit for the comeback.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Hell of a rally there for the Vikings to come
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: back and win it. But the narrative, I'm sure will
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: be praising JJ McCarthy and how great he was and
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: there was and all that stuff. To me, though, you
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: cannot ignore the first three quarters of the game that
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: he was at the salad bar and he was serving
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: up suck salad and that's what it was. So that's
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: a bit of a reality check. I would think he's
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: a rookie. So yeah, there's gonna be some bumps on
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: the road and all that, but man, the Vikings, if
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: that's the way it's gonna go, you talk about a
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: roller coaster situation. Holy Kenody. Anyway, it is the Ben

  Speaker 1: to it we go. Firduck says, not only did Chicago
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: lose the game, they lost their team as well. Why
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: would the Bears want to leave such a safe clean city.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I can't, for the life of me figure it out. Yeah,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the suburbs, these suburbs are calling. Can we do a
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: wellness check on Tree in Chicago's tree? Okay? Can we
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: see if he's all right down on our buddy Tree there.
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: I'm a little worried, like to know if he's over.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I'm little worried about him there. He's a big Bears guy.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: He's probably more focused on the Cubs. Not that that's
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: going great either. Andy in line o' lakes rights and
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: says a minus on the opening mount of monologue. I
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: think JJ has only played three quarters of preseason football
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the past two seasons. He probably should have played more
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: this year. And the Bears are who we thought they
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: were and we didn't let them off the hook. Great
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: tribute to the late great Dennis Green worked here. Alf

  Speaker 1: that was how about this? It was otherworldly? Does that work?
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Other world?
• 27:12
  Speaker 9: It was? It was Wayne's world in the game.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, is this the greatest Viking wins since the famous
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: game against the Saints?
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: I want to let you miracle?
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Well that's what I was talking. Yes, I referenced it. Yes,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: the I understand. Was this the This has to be
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the craziest win since then? Although actually that's not even
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: that's not even true. Though, didn't the Vikings came back
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: against the Colts and that was a Saturday afternoon game.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I remember the Colts had a thirty something point lead
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: in that game. That was Matt Ryan was a couple
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: of years ago.
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: But you gotta believe, didn't it the cardioc Bryan's sight
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: quarterback of the cardiac kids.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Brian, I'm waiting for Dick and Dayton to call up
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: with the Brian Sipe take. That's interesting.
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: That's a shout out went on. I met at the
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: meet and greet.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: You did not meet Dick and Dayton. Dick and Dayton
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: was not at the met Greek. You met Doc Mike.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Doc Mike was at the meet and greet. You didn't
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: meet Dick and Dayton. Doc Mike was who hasn't called
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: the show in a while, but Doc he was there, So.
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: Mike what he does call the show. I want to
• 28:29

  Speaker 1: Not saying it will okay, So just for the record,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: so we'll send that out on social media. So you
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: believe that that win was so juicy, It was such
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: a delicious win for the Vikings that if they were
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: to start losing games rapidly, you'd be okay with that
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: from the pure bliss that you're feeling right now, the
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: joy in your heart from beating the Chicago Bears. If
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: they go out and stumble back to back to the
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Falcons and Bengals at home, you'll be okay with that. Yes,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I got relatives in Chicago. Heck yeah, okay, So do
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: what we have that in common? I have relatives of
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: them in Chicago too. It's a small world. And the
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Rada we met me and I've met you haven't met him.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I met him. I had the honor. Did we hug?

• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Did we hug?
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Don't?
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not paying any attention to it. He's too excited,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: he's fired up.
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: His vikings are.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Just you know, James, can you do a Viking skull chant?
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Can you do that?
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: All right?
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: We need to We need a clean copy of that, James.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do this here. Everyone quiet on the set here, James,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: give me a skull chant? Go ahead, No, perfect that.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: That's a drop. That's a hollering James, drop right there.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be immortalized in a drop. James. Congratulations, you've
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: already asked this. Other people you're ball guarding the time.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: There's other people on the hold. They want to talk
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: you're ball guarding the time. Don't bull guard the time.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Don't be selfish, don't be a hawser. What's wrong with you? No,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I thought the game was over. No, but I did
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: pick the I did pick the Vikings to win the
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: game on the Benny versus the Penny on YouTube. No,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: you did not, Jimmy James. You every week you say
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: the Vikings are going to win every fing week. That's
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: not a tip. Okay, all right, all right, And the
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: next step, James, is this right here? See this is
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: a there we go. That's the next step. I hope
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: you enjoy that. Let's go now to tiger Man, a hero.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: We met tiger Man at the Mall of Meat Greed
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: from the great date of Missouri where there are tigers,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: but his heart is in batar rouge. Hello tiger Man.
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: Ben, you know what on a night where you know
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: all five of my teams, Jaden and Joe in the NFL,
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: then LSU, d YU and Utah all game the wins,
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: I'm calling you disappointed. We have the best wide receiver
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: at all of football who had one catch for four
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: yards and three quarters.
• 31:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean you gotta get honey.
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: Come on, Justin Jefferson is a generational talent. You can't
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: do that. They need a quarterback, you know, JJ. If
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: there wasn't for all the spy Gates stuff, he would
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: be nothing.
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: He's a Sonnith brown.
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: Pick at best and unbelievable. I'm just very disappointed.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: And that's see, that's a good take. That's why we
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: like you, tiger Man. That's an original take that McCarthy's
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a fraud, that he hardly threw the ball at Michigan
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: and it was all because of the spy stuff, and
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: that's why he was good. And you take all that away,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: and what do you get? YEA for three quarters? Maybe
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the Vike Did they start using binoculars you think in
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter or something like that. Maybe they went
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: the old Michigan tricks.
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: Well, I think it's Hossle obviously. You know Cottner Stallions.
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: He's just working at a heighth school now, so he
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: probably needs to get some side gig.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: What do you are you working at a fat tiger Man?
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Are you working at a factory? What do you I
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: hear a lot about I'm me a noise in the background.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Where are you at, tiger Man?
• 32:23

  Speaker 1: And they melted. Yeah, and they melted on. You can't
• 34:12

  Speaker 7: You can't know. It was just a really large portionon
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: but you know.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Me, yeah, you cannot. You can't recreate the magic of
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: the boutine because you can't put in the microwave because
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: then the cheese will become rubbery. Yeah you can, so
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: you can't do that, and you can maybe put in
• 34:27
