Here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome, It's our number one, a brand smaking new week
of the original Recipe podcast, the one that started at
all the Ben Mathers. So happy fourth day of November.
And here in our number one, it's all about Sunday
night football, the Colts at the Vikings. Where does Joe
Flacco's performance leave the Colts as they did not score

(00:25):
an offensive touchdown? How does that happen? And what is
your position on Sam Darnold's play for the Purple People eaters?
A lot of mistakes? Minnesota did win the game? And
how do you categorize the late night Sunday into Monday?

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Whack job?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
The Raiders pulling the plug on offensive coordinator Luke Getzi,
our knee jerk reaction on that and everything else Right
now here it is our number one talking about the Ponies.
Welcome in the beginning of another week of the Ben
Ma Show. We are in the air everywhere, right at

(01:05):

Speaker 1 (01:25):
As we call a spade a spade. That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
We have a coaching change.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
In the NFL. We'll get to that coming up in
a couple of minutes, but our lead this hour is
from Sunday Night Football. Why we are told that it
just matters more that Sunday Night is the showcase. It's
an island game, living the island life only game.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Everything else is done.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
You got one game all by its lonesome there on
Sunday Night Football. Mike Tarrico, Chris Consworth were there for
the Peacock folks as Joe Flacco. That was the big storyline,
Joe Flacco taking over as the starter for the Colts
against Sam Donald and the Vikings Minnesota on a two

(02:29):
game losing stream.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Where you watching what else was there? Why there was
nothing else to watch? There was nothing.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I mean, if you're into sports, there's nothing else that
was it? So you probably were, but maybe not. Sam
Donald played like a guy that saw ghosts and it
didn't even matter. Sam Donald overcame four sacks and three
turnovers by throwing not one, not too but three second
half touchdown passes in the Minnesota defense, running around and

(03:00):
through Joe Flacco in his return to the starting job,
as the Vikings get a twenty one to thirteen win
in the Sunday night game. Justin Jefferson one hundred and
thirty seven receiving yards, a lot of big plays for
the Viking offense there. As Minnesota after the two games
losing streak to the Lions and the Rams, they now

(03:23):
are six and two. The better story is in the
losing locker room, and so that is where we will
focus in on where does Joe Flacco's performance leave the Colts.
So I've got rocking chair, pizzeria, and scientific method, and
we will combine all.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Of these things together and we will.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Say turn out the last the parties over.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
All right, So anyway you slice this anyway at all,
it was a rough performance and unacceptable. Unacceptable that's the
word I will use it. Indy cleared the runway for
Joe Flacco to take off. I don't have a problem
with that move. That's the better move because Anthony Richardson

(04:13):
pretty much benched himself right unceremoniously taking himself out of
that game last week. You can't do that. He did
the thing, you can't do it at the time. You
can't do it, So he ends up benching himself. Joe
Flacco had to play, and Flacco played like a rocking chair,
meaning he gave the impression Joe Flacco while he was

(04:34):
out there of constant motion, but much like a rocking chair,
he wasn't going anywhere. Neither was the Indianapolis offense going anywhere.
The only touchdown that Indy scored was courtesy of a
booboo by Minnesota, a mistake. Joe Flacco finished the game
with one hundred and seventy nine yards passing. That's it,

(04:57):
no touchdowns, didn't score a touchdown on offense, one interception,
and a passer rating of sixty three point seven, and
he was also sacked three times, a couple of sacks
late in that game. And Indies offense continues to be
a ghost ship, just an empty vessel found out floating
adrift on the sea of the NFL.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Just bad.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
They had two hundred and twenty seven yards of offense
as a team, only thirteen first downs, but twelve really
because one was gained via penalty from Minnesota, and only
six points.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
That's all for Indy with Joe Flacco at quarterback and
the Vikings, I thought they had a good defense. We
talked about him a lot on the TV show about
how I liked Brian Flor's defense. And they were exposed
the last couple of weeks by the Lions and the Rams.
But now they they're feeling good again. All right now,
page two, The Vikings stopped the bleeding of the two

(05:53):
game losing streak.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
The other side here they stopped the bleeding.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
But what is your position on Sam Darnell play for
the Purple people eaters at six and two? So I
was even in victory being fair. If you're a Viking fan,
it's demoralizing. It is absolutely demoralizing, because if Sam Donald
was a pizzeria, his performance would be Shaky's. And I'm

(06:20):
not talking about the mojo potatoes. Oh, he was serving
up turnovers like they serve up those mojo potatoes. Because man,
you cannot take the Viking seriously. They'll be a playoff team.
In fact, they have three games coming up, which they
should win all three and get to nine and two
if they just take care of business. That aside, though

(06:43):
I don't take them seriously. The Sam Donald reliability score
is very low, and that is a deal breaker in
big games. You can't rely on them.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
You can win against those mid teams and the culture
in that mid to bad here the weaker opponent, You'll
be okay there, But in key mole mids, the Vikings
at some point are going to play a team that's
better they play the Lions in the playoffs, or who
knows who. Someone will be able to force Sam Donald
to make a play. And when Sam Donald has to

(07:17):
make a play, he looks like a puppy dog, a
lost puppy dog. He doesn't know where to go. He's
completely flummixed. And everything is going to have to be
absolutely picture perfect for this Minnesota team to go on
a deep playoff run. If you need Sam Donald to
make a play, if you need Sam Donald to step up,

(07:38):
you will end up needing medication because you're going to
be depressed.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
That's just the way it is. Now.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Last word, we pivot now to Vegas and we have
a coaching change.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
In the National Football League.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Now not Antonio Pierce, but after getting humiliated by the
Cincinnati Bungals say you know.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
What we're gonna do. We're gonna fire one of our coaches.
So they did.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
The wings of change are blowing. In lost Wags Nevada.
The Raiders have said bye bye to Luke Getsy. He's
out offensive coordinator. Fired late on Sunday night after nine games.
Getsy out as Raiders offensive coordinator. They also whacked the
offensive line coach, he's gone. They gave the guillotine to

(08:24):
the quarterback coach, he's out as well. And they were
also in their first seasons in lost Wages Nevada. So
how do you categorize the Raiders pulling the plug on
offensive coordinator to Luke Getsy. So my theory is the
Raiders used the scientific method here, and what is the
scientific method? So the first step in these scientific method

(08:47):
is I understand it as a sports talk radio scientist here,
and that's what I do here. People say, well, you're
just a gasbag. Now I say, no, I use this
scientific method. I'm a sports talk scientist, is what I am.
So anyway, tific method is to make observations. But to
identify a problem. And Luke Getsy was never the first choice.
He's no one's first choice. He was playing b The

(09:10):
Raiders had a deal in place with Cliff Kingsbury, who
went to Washington, and then the finances didn't work out. Kingsbury,
the story that I heard was he at the last
minute asked for more money, and the Raiders mark Davis,
who's very cheap, the owner of the Raiders, I'm not
gonna pay him more money. And so that he went
to Washington and got more money, and and so it
didn't work out. The financials didn't work out, so Kingsbury left,

(09:31):
so they had they had a finder, find somebody, and
they hired this Luke Getsy, who was an abject failure
in Chicago with Bears.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
He sucked.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
And so the people said, well, you know it wasn't
his fall that Justin Fields is a bomb, and well,
Justin Fields is a bum. But it turns out Luke
Getzi's also a bum, and he's just a lousy coach.
He's just bad at his job. And the Raiders find
themselves two and seven, and with a little bit better
offensive coaching, the Raiders should have four or five wins. Now,

(10:02):
four or five wins ain't great, right, However, they still
have a shot at something. They have no shot. The
Raiders are done. And it's embarrassing they find me. Because
the Raiders are it should be somewhere in that mix
where they're right around average with all these other teams
in the NFL, and they're not. And it's another blow
though for Antonio Pierce, the head coach, because clearly the

(10:23):
owner of the Raiders, Mark Davis.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Is listening to the fans.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
I've heard stories from people around the NFL, and he's
fully engaged on the social media. He reads everything, he
takes every criticism literally. He's probably listening right now, Hi, Mark,
Although I don't think he's might not be listening because
I think PF Chang's is closed at this hour on Sunday.
I know he has to go in there and eat
the PF Chang So maybe he's not listening. But again,
just because you identified the problem does not mean you're

(10:51):
any closer to solving the problem. And so the Raiders
find themselves in an interesting pickle. And we all know
pickles are terrible, and that's where the find themselves. And
I want to circle back to the Colts. Here, as
I mentioned Joe Flacco and his issues and what's going
on there with with Joe Flacco, here is Flacco trying
to explain what the hell happened for the Indianapolis Colts.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
No offensive touchdown, none.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Think any time you have a day like we had tonight,
you're probably surprised a little bit that that you weren't
able to get it, because you know, they obviously did
a really good job against us tonight, so you know,
you know, coming in here against a team like this,
it's going to be difficult. But I don't think you
ever anticipate something like that.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Play at the beginning of that, he's a day, and
then he said, like a night and then a day.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
I'm trying to play it just the beginning.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
I think any time you have a day like we
had tonight.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Daylight we did. What is he how can you have
a day like we did it? Play it again.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Think any time you have a day like we had tonight.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
For a day like we How about if anytime we
have a night like we did today during the day,
we play it again.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Think any time time you have a day like we
had tonight, we'll probably so problem.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
What does it even mean, I don't I don't even know.
Maybe that's why he sucked.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
He is he in the concussion protocol?

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Do we know?

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Maybe other concussion?

Speaker 3 (12:10):
I think any time you have a day like we
had tonight, what is that anyway?

Speaker 2 (12:16):
All right, hey, listen, we'll take your calls. You want
to be part of this, We'll open up the lines
in abracadabra, hocus pocus, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Just hit a bunch of buttons at.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six six three six nine.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
So Joe Flacco confused day night.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
That whole thing is Joe Flacco's job already in jeopardy
after one game as the number one quarterback in Indianapolis.
We'll talk about that also, the tale of the tape
and it's not good.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
We'll go there as well. We'll get to all that
and we will do it next.

if you're in the area. I got some RSVPs from
some super fans in the Midwest that claim they're making me,
as they called it, the pilgrimage to travel to Kansas
City on Saturday, so it'd be awesome to see.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
Will you bring us back some Kansas City barbecue.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
I don't think you want me to bring Kansas City
barbecue back because it'll probably be disgusting by the time
I get back, right, I mean I don't know.

Speaker 6 (14:30):
There might be enough preservatives and saltiness, right, it's hardy
Midwestern food. Yeah, so just Saran rappers, shrink crap it
down and send it on over.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
But I would say, like Midwestern, like real food does
not have preservatives, right, Isn't that the whole point of
real food is it does not have I remember when
Dan Byer, before Dan became management.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
I remember the story.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yes, So Dan was traveling the country and he was
doing college football games. He was in Jacksonville for a
college football game, and there was a fan show that
owned a bunch of donut shops around Jacksonville. So I said, Dan,
why don't you get the get the donuts? And then
this guy's offering like a dozen donuts, so bring them
back and just pick him up and just put them
on the plane with you. And he didn't want to
do it. And then like eventually I convinced that I

(15:14):
shamed him to do it. So he did it, and somehow,
by the time the donuts got from Jacksonville to Los Angeles,
the donuts were the texture of a hockey puck. I
don't know how that happened. I still don't know how
that happened. It was disgusting. I was all excited I
saw this box of donuts.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
I Oh, this is gonna be great. And then I
picked it up and I was like, this is kind
of and I tried to bite into.

Speaker 6 (15:38):
It, and it was like, I wonder what you would
have to do to keep the donut moist, like put
a wet towel in there.

Speaker 5 (15:44):
Maybe I don't think that would be a good idea.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
It has to be it has to be in like
a plastic wrap or bag.

Speaker 6 (15:50):
With a wet towel.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
Wet towel.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
There are ways to bring a donut back to life.
You microwave it for like ten seconds.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Wet towel.

Speaker 6 (16:00):
You guys, take the moisture.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
You don't need a wet cow It's not what's not rice, Yeah,
it's not.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
It's not like you're trying to get water out of
your phone or something like that. But you put, you know,
put rice in a towel.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Or listen.

Speaker 6 (16:12):
Whenever I reheat noodles or anything that needs moisture in it,
I put a wet towel.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Really, that's your Who taught you that? Somebody must have
taught you that. Really, no one taught you.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Nobody when you were a little girl said here's what
you do, and you, most of us learn learn stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Almost said a bad word, almost bad word, learned stuff.
I think you technically did I said, I said, I said,
then just got dumb. You did not you tell me
why you you dub me.

Speaker 7 (16:42):
When I said the I said, I didn't say what
she said. I said, put something you know. She said, no,
that's her fault, that's a that's a party fell.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
And I did not say I said at the beginning
of it, I did not finish it. Nobody knew what.
Maybe I meant. Ship.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
You assume, see you assume the worst. You and Eddie
assume the worst. I didn't say that. I heard ship.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Should I play it back? Then play it back? I
didn't say it. I didn't say it. Play it play back.
I didn't play it back, play go ahead, play it back? Well,
Actually I can't. Why not you can't play it?

Speaker 8 (17:20):
Because I'm I'm recording, so I would need to stop
it during.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
I didn't say that you listen, you didn't hear me. See,
I didn't say, but nobody heard because you dumped it.
I didn't.

Speaker 6 (17:29):
Let's do a poll on Okay, I'll.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Put it on. I'll put it on right now. I'll
put it on. It's a great idea. Hold on a sec.
I'll put it on there right now. Uh, well, get
my eyes are watering.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
That was comedy.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Well I didn't say it.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
You you heard something that didn't and the listeners didn't
hear it either, So I can't really ask them because
they didn't hear it because you dumped it. Well, that
doesn't That doesn't matter when I asked them, do it.
Maybe I'll ask them in a few. Maybe I will
ask the listeners in a few. But I'm not going
to ask listen to the podcast. Mass will make you says,
speaking of don't said you get your delivery today, Apple Fritter.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
That's on that's on Wednesday.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
No, that's the sandwiches are Wednesday today.

Speaker 6 (18:10):
Tomorrow. Yes, Monday is actually not Monday.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
That's all making today is Sunday into Monday. But we
Loraina considers its Sunday.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
You can no, no today, We're already in Monday.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Well, yeah, we are in Monday. But so it's Monday.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
Well we are already We're not on the East coast.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Now, this is it's toleraino all the time like.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
But I tried to explain that that's I grew through
lorraina and and I remember when I first got hired
here at Fox Sports Radio. Tom Lee was the program director,
the guy that started Fox Sports Radio. And I went
to Tom's office and Tom explained to me. He said, Man,
here's the population of the United States, okay, And here's
where almost every one in the United States lives. And
it's the Eastern time zone. And we go the reason

(18:54):
we go by Eastern time is because that's where the
people live, right. And so it's called broadcasting, not narrow casting.
But for Eddie, for Eddie and Coop, they love doing
you know, they they don't like the broadcast.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Very narrow exactly, very narrow minded exactly.

Speaker 8 (19:07):
But when we are talking amongst ourselves, we live here
on the West coast. You Lorrain and I say, it's Sunday,
it's Sunday.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeling at me, I deny living on the West Coast.

Speaker 6 (19:22):
Say, when I fill out these logs, yes, what's that?
It says it's Monday.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
That's different. That's different.

Speaker 6 (19:31):
And when I asked for the day off request, I always.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
Make sure I say Sunday into Monday.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Now she's right, and ferg dog rights since says Loraina
jumped the gun, Bensley professional, he would never swear on
the Libray exactly correct on that, damn right. Devin says,
you can order Joe's Kansas City barbecue online.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
They will ship it anywhere in the US.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Well, that is a wonderful barbecue, Devon, I've had that
the z Man Sam which is the top say which
I've had?

Speaker 1 (20:00):
I do plan on eating that at some point.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Meatball Stevie Meatballs rights and says, Hey, now, Ben, why
am I having to remind you to play nice? We
know that old man Joe Flacco is a little punchy.
That said, clearly you have an you have to contestialize
what brainiac Joe was saying. Now go back and play
nice with the other gas bags and blowhards. Steven meet Pauls.

(20:24):
You've been listening to me along exactly, Just shut the
f up, okay O g Art Puffin says nine out
of nine and some fried os fried oysters.

Speaker 6 (20:34):
Ooh, that sounds delicious.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
That is disgusting, so bad, he says opening monologue. I
don't know how Flacco's performance effects of the Colts moving forward?
Who cares? Flacco sucks, sucks, sucks. He and the Vikings
defense ruined my chances of catching Queen Roxanne in this
week's fantasy matchup. Well, I didn't know about that, but
your four and four art Puffin, Queen Roxanne three and five,

(21:02):
So neither won it great, right, kind of like my
record against the Penny, which at one point I woke up.
I wake up about halftime in the early games, I
was losing every single game in the early television window,
every game.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Now, fortunately it sounds like did you cry, Eddie your
mic was on.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, I was slightly upset. There were some things that
were thrown around the house, and then fortunately, as usually
happens in the NFL, three or four games went the
other way.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
So, but at one point there was panic.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
There were some angry messages sent to Tom Looney, who
then sent me some angry messages back, and it was
very spicy for a while there. It turned out to
be a mediocre Sunday. Mediocre Sunday for me with one
game left on a Monday night. Not a burner, right.
Since itys Ben, the Colts coach of Shane Steik and

(21:59):
Jim Bob Couter are currently being investigated for their alleged
roles and a dog napping scandal along with Mastermind blah
blah blah blah blah, Jim Mersey said they are looking
into the matter and have no further comment at the time.
Femi says Big Ben did a deep take on Super
Bowl contenders Minnesota the Missisesaoa Vikings. I missed most of

(22:19):
it straight to the podcast section. I am going well,
good luck on that, Femmi. The number one uber each
driver there, Ryan says, MVP of the Seahawk Ram game
is Geno Smith. Thank you as you deserved a game ball. Yeah,
Geno God. My guys in Seattle and some of you
idiots were defending Gino God.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Is he terrible? May he sign a ten year extension?

Speaker 6 (22:41):
May he's wrong with people?

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Like this this guy. I have a couple guys in
Seattle that are fans of this. Well, many people listening
to Seattle, but a couple of people that interact with
the show. No stradinas that jackass was trying to sell
me on Geno Smith for like the last two years.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Oh, Jedo Smith is so good. Oh he's so good.
I agree.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Every Ram fan agrees. Everyone who watched that games all Man, Genosmith.
That is the worst performance by a quarterback in late
game situations, sace.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
I believe nineteen ninety one trash didn't.

Speaker 5 (23:15):
He throw a touchdown late in the fourth quarter that
senate it over time.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
No quarterback has ever they went back to nineteen ninety one,
how far back they have the stats. Nobody has thrown
two interceptions inside the own ten yard line in a
game they were leading until g is a problem. Uh yeah,
and single handedly got the Rams back in the game
and was one and then they went for it on
fourth down in overtime where they could have kicked a
field goal.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Put the pressure on the Rams to at least kick
a field goal to tie and lost.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
I thought that was all around just wonderful, terrible coaching,
terrible quarterback play.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
I loved it.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Good job by Seattle, and that twelfth Man really intimidated
the Rams. They really, they were so intimidated by the
twelfth Man there in Seattle.

That's when he blocked Ben.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Uh. Yeah, but it is true. He blew me off.
It was.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
It was right after the Pinstripe Bowl West Virginia played.
Who they playing Pinstripe Bowl that year. I think it
was a service Academy or something like that, if I remember.
I forget, but Gino got very upset with me. I
took a shot at him and he was like, I
didn't even think it was him. It was one of
those things when Gino and I got into it on
social media. I thought it was a fake account because
his account wasn't verified. It was only at the NFL

(24:32):
Draft when they showed his Twitter like Twitter account and
it was him. I went back and I looked, as
a holy crap, that was Gino. I thought it was Yeah,
I didn't because it wasn't a verified account at the time.
Back then you had to earn verification. You could just
buy it like you can now, and so it wasn't verified.
So I was like, oh, it's probably not him, and
then turned out it was him Syracuse. They played Syracuse.

(24:53):
It was it was a Pinstripe Bowl like in Yankee
Stadium or something. Anyway, it is the Benn Pinstripe. Yes, uh,
the Ben from Nick the Windy's guy, this big Nick
the Windy's guys listening. As a true Minnesotan, you can't
ever take any Minnesota professional team seriously because once they

On X and I did want to mention the seat
we started with the Colts Vikings is a Sunday night game. Well,
Joe Flacco will will remain the Colts QB one over
Anthony Richardson, according to Shane Steich and the head coach.

(27:36):
Did anyone expect Shane Steiken to say moments after the game,
I'm benching Joe fi Of course they have to start
Flacco for a while because Jim Ers, the owner, is
the one that wants it. Also, the tail of the
tape in Vegas, the Raiders have whacked their offensive portantor
Luke Getzi, how do you lose your job after nine
games as an NFL offensive coordinator the Raiders.

Speaker 5 (27:57):
One good thing they hired Antonio Pierce.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Guys wonderful, Well, Louke Getsy's who were talking about the
Raiders yards per play twenty ninth in the NFL turnovers
they are number one, which means they're the thirty he said.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
Sure things will change now that they've made this move.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Offensive points per game, they're twenty sixth in the NFL.
Yards per carry their thirty second, and in passer rating
their twenty seventh. And that's Luke Getsy who's now out. Well,
they suck. That's that's all.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
You need to know. Goods.

You have to basically dot a bag the inside of
a bag with moisture. Will I kind of like dip
your fingers and then just spread around the bag, put

it in their mouths.
