Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our na bir three hour three
Ready to go, and we start out at the sports
book where Sean McVeigh is in hot water. The ram
head coach says that he was unaware, unaware that the
last second, meaningless field goal that he kicked would alter

(00:22):
the point spread. Are you in or out on this defense?
The defense that he was unaware of the point spread? Also,
are the Colts making a mistake by continuing to run
Run Run with Anthony Richardson? And how did you grade
keyvon Thibodeau's response to as many critics with the New

(00:43):
York Football Giants. We talk about that and the debut
on the weekday show permanently now of the Iowa Minute
from Iowa Sam. We are told by Iowa Sam, we
are going to set a record for downlow. We'll see
if that happens. We'll get to it, all of it
this hour here it is our number three. Explain yourself,

(01:09):
mister coachman. Welme come in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Malor Show. It just keeps happening, one
after another. We are in the air everywhere inhabitants as
we make waves with sporty melodies, Coast dot Cooast Border,
the Order and Beyond on the mast and overwhelmingly powerful

(01:34):
microphones of fsr ammnating live from the book An Audio
Sportsbook for your Eardrums. We are broadcasting live from the

get there and unmatch selection, fast free shipping, free road

(02:00):
Wait tire buying, shuit b and our lead this hour
comes from the story that in the gambling world the
people really lost their mind on and I guess I'm
in that world now because of the TV thing. But
our lead this hour coming from the sportsbook, where everyone's
been buzzing about the end of that Ram forty niner game.

(02:23):
And if you're not familiar with the gambling world and
all that, the reason this is the story. Rams coach
Sean McVay decided to kick a field goal with four
seconds remaining. The clock ran out. The team was down
by ten points against the forty nine ers, and he say, well,
who cares about that? Well, the team was down ten
at the time. That kick moved a whole lot of

(02:47):
money because the spread in that game had the Niners
favored by seven and a half in Los Angeles in
the hood in Inglewood, with sixty percent of that money
coming in on the RAM. It to one of the
bigger sports books at seven and a half, so that
shifted the money in favor of the people that bet
on the Rams and actually cost the bookmaker money. Boy,

(03:10):
you hate to see that now. Sean McVay has now
addressed the Komodo dragon in the room as to why
why he did that. I don't know if you heard
what he had to say or not. Possibly not. We
have a couple of clips here we're going to play
for you. As Warner Wolf used to say, we'll go
to the audio tape here, Sean McVay talking in general

(03:32):
about the strategy at the end of the game. Take
a listen.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
We were going to try to kick a field goal
right once we got into you know, field goal position,
to then be able to kick an on side and
try to give ourselves the real opportunity to win the game.
By the time it got down to it. Didn't anticipate that,
you know, in cut that we hit Pooka running that
long and just said all right, just go ahead and
kicked the field goal, felt like it was an opportunity
to be able to, you know, not leave Matthew susceptible

(03:57):
to an unnecessary heat to the end zone and get
an our opportunity for our field goal operation.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
All right, So he said, everyone want to put Matthew
Stafford out there to you know, possibly injury, right, leave
him out there susceptible to a hit. That's what he applied.
Of course, if they had made the field goal and
had time left and had a Hail Mary, they would
have absolutely tossed Matthew Stafford out to have the forty
nine ers defense eat him alive. Now we get to

(04:24):
the money quote. Here is the money quote. Sean McVay
asked about the gambling angle to this and people not
being happy, and he brought it up and take a Liz.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Apparently, Artists told me there's a lot of people in
Vegas pissed off about that decision. I clearly was not
aware of that stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Okay, not aware of it that he's talking about Artists,
who's a big VP of communications for the Rams, who's
been with the team since they were in Saint Louis.
So anyway, let us discuss the question Sean McVay says
he was unaware of the points spread. Are you in
or out on this defense? So I've got truth serum,
kool aid, and military slang Dad Gummett and here we go. So,

(05:08):
first of all, we like Sean mcpabe. Obviously like Sean mcvavy.
Guy has been great, and the Rams are in a
transitional period of time here, but they're they're fighting something
much better this year than they were last year. But
in terms of Sean mcvay's statement that there's a lot
of people in Vegas pissed off about it, and he
said he was not aware of that stuff, I am

(05:30):
out on Sean mcvay's defense. I'm out on this. Do
not be gullible. Sean McVay knew what the points spread
of this game was. All coaches are aware of that
kind of stuff, and when you start out as a coach,
you're aware of that for multiple reasons. But the coach
is one of the main reasons is these guys use

(05:51):
this as motivation. They don't think you guys are gonna
win this game. You know you're a massive underdog in
this game. It's the nobody believes in US troupe which
I bring up all the time, and once that gets
in your head, you will never unhear it. Athletes and
coaches and people in sports saying that we won this

(06:12):
game and nobody believed we could do it. It happens after
every upset, every big game, every perceived upset. Teams win championships.
Nobody believed in us. We overcame adversity, which is pretty
much all that life is. In anything that you do,
nothing goes perfectly. You don't start out with a certain
roster and then keep the roster the entire year. People

(06:33):
get hurt, Things happen, But that is a staple of
athletic motivation. It's the nobody believed in us. And a
big way to get that message across to your team
is to say, look at look at the points break
all right, So if you gave McVeigh Truthsroim, his answer
would be much different. In a parallel the mention, I

(06:55):
would also love a world where Sean McVay said that
he kicked that field goal on purpose and he would
do it again because he wanted to stick it to
those annoying forty nine er fans, and he said, hey,
if you can't win the game. As a team, I
want to at least cover the number because I want
a reward for our Ram fans. That's what I want.
Good teams win games, Great teams cover the spread. So

(07:15):
the Rams are a great team right now they're two
to zero against the spread. The fact that they're one
and one, that's a different conversation all right now. Second,
next stop, we go to Indy where the Colts have
a guy named Jim Bob. Cooter is their offensive coordator.
Good name. Jim Bob said that the game plan will

(07:36):
not change. They will not not be scaling back the
workload for Anthony Richardson. They've been running him a fair amount.
Despite having a concussion in Week two against the Texans.
Jim Bob tells us that the quarterback runs, the scrambling

(07:57):
will always be a part of the Colt game plan
with Anthony Richardson. He did say, though, that mister Cooter
said that richard that's right, needs to find a way
to limit the risk. He needs to protect himself more
when he's running. So are the Colts making a mistake

(08:18):
by continuing to expose Anthony Richardson to the running game
as a rookie? So I am shaking my head. No,
I'm shaking my head no that they drafted Richardson for
a reason. They thought he was going to be great.
I'm skeptical. He's been better than I thought he was

(08:38):
going to be. But the big selling point is what's
in the box. What's in the toolbox and running the
ball is one of the things that separates Richardson from
the rest of the competition. We just did a rant
last hour in a previous hour on the show about
Bryce Young and Bryce Young is such a tiny human

(09:01):
being that Carolina can't even run a quarterback keeper on
short yardage situations because he's so small. Well, in Indianapolis,
they don't have that problem. You look at Richardson, he's
a very large human being. He crashes through walls of
defenders like the kool aid Man and shouts, oh yeah,
just like that. Now. Sometimes sometimes he'll probably get his

(09:23):
eyeballs knocked a little goofy, a little bit and all
that from the kool aid man running into the wall.
You have to work your way through that. But that's
the special ingredient in the martini mix. That's it. So
take some ibuprofen. Ain't call it today, all right, final thought,
So let's head over to Gotham. Interesting story here involving

(09:46):
a guy that was supposed to be a great defensive
player who has not been a great defensive player. Kevon
Thibodeau of the Giant season former Oregon doc quack Quack
Wa La. Guy went to Dorsey High School in LA
and then transferred out of there went to a suburban
high school. But Kevon Thibodeau is being called out for
a couple of reasons, being a bad teammate and his

(10:09):
play on the field. Now TV cameras caught him sulking,
would appear to be sulking on the sidelines while his
teammates were celebrating as they were coming back against the
Arizona football team. Thibodeau he grumbled that there are a
lot of social media gms out there. He said he
was talking particularly about the fact that he had zero

(10:29):
tackles and people were calling him out on that, and
Kevan says that he was unable to make those tackles
because the Cardinals kept running the ball away from him,
implying that he is such a game changer that they
were going away from where he was lined up. Thibodau
also said, a lack of camaraderie is a lack of

(10:52):
hanging out with his teammates. He said he was doing
some deep thinking. He was visualizing the Giants come back,
and he was also praying's that's what he claimed. So
how did you grade Cavon Thibodeau's response to the critics
He has now with the Giants. So this is military slang.

(11:13):
It is foo bar. That is the word foo bar.
Thibodeaux was billed as a transcendent, game changing defensive player.
He was part of a class in the draft a
couple of years ago with Aiden Hutchinson and Sauce Gardner.
Aiden Hutchinson and Sauce guard Now those guys have proven

(11:36):
to be as advertised Cavon false advertising. He has not
proven to provide the fear factor. You don't need to
worry about the social media gms. If you're Caveon Thibodeaux,
that's not the real world. It's a zero sum game.
You need to worry about the fact you're not produced

(11:57):
at a time you need to produce. Eggs is eggs
and your numbers suck. And Tom Thibodeaux or Tom Thibodeaux, Cavon,
I got my Thibodaux mix up Cavon Thibodeaux needs to
do better, all right, be better, upgrade his game, all
of that, all of that, all right. It is the
Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like to be part,
you can join the fun. It's a speak easy version

Speaker 6 (17:08):
Well, oh, you do it with one hand tied behind
your back. You know you're the formerly nick Dame stained
fingers holding the paper if I don't know if it
was reallyant. This is not exposed to the drug world,
ben though. But most people, most people in the gangster life,
you know, they love they love being gangster released in
the drug world. But people in my age is thirty
five and yonder. Rap music is the lifestyle, and I
used to I've invented my own genre of music. I
know the words that are coming to most songs, so

(17:30):
I just have a conversation with the song, knowing what's
happening ahead of time. And you should have seen these
people freak out on Black and Yellow, dude, because I'd

so unbelievably upset that I would. I'd be stunned. I'm like, uh,
are you where are you from? Well, I'm from I'm

the value of my soul and Eddie Garcy was like,
I think it's out three fifty and you're like, go

three hundred dollars fifty cents. And if this is the
price is right, Eddie Garcia is the winner to come
on down?

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, yeah, you know who the loser is? That would
that would be all right? Thank you. I must move on. Hey,

to Becky who's in Nebraska. I gotta pay off the
malarula of to day. By the way, hold on, Becky,
I gotta pay off the malaruela to day, this bad
job by me. Uh, I forgot that. I got so
carried away. I saw these calls, I say, I got

(18:47):
to I forgot about the How can I forget about
the malar Ruler of the day anyway? Here it is
Mala riddle of the day. Patriots linebacker Matt Judon says
he keeps a blank in his wallet. That is the
Mallard riddle well the day. Let's see what the answer is.
If anybody knows the answer, Ferdcat says, a club sandwich
is the answer. Courtesy Flusher says the crushed fingernails and hair.

(19:13):
What else do we have a picture of Rosebud his
childhood sled Alf the Alien Opiner says he keeps a
credit card Gordon in his wallet. That's why no one
has heard from him in a while. Well we miss
credit card Gordon from Waterloo. What a great caller he was.
He disappeared right about the time he owed Eddie some money.

(19:35):
Who else do we have or a hat or something?
Late night drug tester says a membership to the Hartford
Whalers fan club. Big Greg in Iowa says a truck
driving groundhog. The Ace of Spades for good luck from
Donkey's Sausage. Who else do we have a picture of
refrigerator Perry just by Sean Eke and Roseviio Minnesota says
an Iowa Hawkeyes pocket schedule. Very nice there, let's see here.

(20:01):
RIEQ in Minnesota says the Iowa minute and he named
Sam's Sam sponsors.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
There.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Wow, that's below the belt. Definitely below the helt keeps
the list of the Ben Maller birthday club. That's from
Rory brass Knuckles, guessed by Rob in Minnesota. Johnny Cue
says a picture of his mom. Well, you should have
a picture here, dear old mom in the wallet. Ron
Mexico got it right. How dare him? Eddie? Do you

(20:30):
have an answer to the Mallard riddle of the day?

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Yeah, a list of all the stops on Roberto's bus route.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
All these stops school bus driver robto goes. So that's incorrect,
Unfortunately the correct answer. Matt ju Don Patriot linebacker, reveal
he has an air tag. Air tag. He loses his
wallet so much he put an air tag in there
so he could find it. I bring this up because
Matt Judon of the Patriots was spotted walking along the

(21:02):
shoulder of a Massachusetts highway trying to find his wallet.
It's not even a normal wallet, he says, a Louis Vauton,
like a pouch thing. And he says, people bust his
balls about it, and they give him a hard time
because it has a chain on it. But he says
he loses his wallet so much. And the guys on

(21:23):
the Patriots bust his ball, saying that's a girl's wallet.
What are you doing. He says he doesn't care. He's
he's lost his wallet so much over the years that
he now he has an air tag, but he has
a strap on the on the wallet and I thought
I lose things, but not like that. Now now we
can check in with our friend who is the the

Hey, What's up everybody?

Speaker 9 (24:19):

LeVar Arrington, TJ. Huschman Zada, and Plexico Burds on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast from.

Speaker 5 (24:59):
Now, I'm very upset about this band. There's a football
story that is not making the headlines, but the USFL
and the XFL are in talks to merge together as one,
creating a single secondary spring football league. The two leads
are expected to combine ahead of the twenty twenty four
spring season. That's a good it's a good question. They

(25:22):
can call it whatever they want, but see, I was
a fan of the old USFL, and part of the
draw for me is the nostalgia of them having those
same teams in uniforms. So here's what I proposeed. The
XFL teams that are joining will have to change to
their their logos and their their their names to the
old USFL teams. They were enough that we could do this,

(25:42):
so we have have more USFL teams because I don't
like the xf Express. That's right, La Express. You bring
back the San Antonio Gunslingers, Generals, Chicago Blitz, Denver Gold.
The Breakers were in like three different cities in three
different years, but they are in New Orleans now. I
guess that's where they've relocated them.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
I guess. So anyway, okay, we need to come back.
How how can how sold is the rock on the
XFL because that was his? But I would agree with
you for the old timers the USFL, if you're old
enough to remember that was that was a big deal.
So all right, it's.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
Another Ben Maller game.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
We've endured too many of these.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
Is it too much or not enough enough?

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Already get to the game too much or not enough?
And a fan favorite. We don't hear from this guy
very often, but when he calls up, he leaves his mark.
From des Moines, Iowa, the Honorable Reverend Ray Green. Hello, Reverend,
thank you Ben.

Speaker 9 (26:43):
Been a while.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
It's been too long, Reverend, too long to talk. Been
a while it has been yes, dad, gum it all right,
Well let's let's get to the game here in life
treating you all right there, Reverend Ray.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
Yeah, I'm retired now.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Oh congratulations. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
On my handicap, I was able to invest in a
retirement account that mature when I turned fifty six.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Sweet man, I'm jealous.

Speaker 8 (27:08):
Yes, yes, I came back home.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Man.

Speaker 6 (27:11):
I a lot of pot.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
I owe a lot to Iowa.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Pott, Iowa. All right, great endorsement. Maybe maybe Sam will
do an Iowa potman.

Speaker 6 (27:19):
Yeah, yeah you can, Iowa States Matt Campbell, which convision
one football. Go playing the merles.

Speaker 8 (27:28):
You don't want to be on the hot seat, all.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Right, we gotta play the guy Iowa. Samam wats the
Iowa minute? This is all Iowa. That's a great leading.
You're from the Moines, so this is a great leading.
All right. You gonna get three right to win, Reverend
Reverend rat On, And all the answers are either too
much or not enough. On Tuesday and you can play
along as you listen on Tuesday, Ronald Acuna Jr. Had
his sixteenth game with a home run and a stolen base.

(27:52):
Is that too much or not enough? Reverend? Did he
hang up? Oh boy? Oh my goodness, he hung up?

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Well, this is very awkward here, and you hear like
a hang up.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
I don't hear him though, No, boy, la la la
la la la la.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Getting back?

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Oh all right, Reverend, is apparently the line dropped?

Speaker 6 (28:23):
Yeah, not enough?

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Okay, thank you for just picking up the line right away.
Not enough? Is that your answer to that? Is that right? No?
That is not right now. The answer is too much.
It was his sixteenth touch game. Only Ricky Henderson has
had more such games. Question number two. Ricky had thirteen.
Question number two. This week, Adam Wainwright became the eighth
active picture to reach two hundred wins as you did
it for the Cardinals. Is that too much or not enough?

Speaker 6 (28:52):
Too much?

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Scared me? Reverend? Raise it too much? That is correct.
He is only the fifth act A pitcher to reach
two hundred wings, joining Verlander, Grankey, Scherzer, and Kershaw. So
one in one, question number three for the Honorable Reverend
Ray over the weekend, he's playing there's a cough button
Reverend Ray. Over the weekend, Marvin Harrison Junior had his

(29:16):
seventh game with one hundred or more receiving yards for
the Buckeyes of Ohio State. Is that too much or
not enough?

Speaker 7 (29:27):
Too much?

Speaker 1 (29:29):
This is too much? Is he right?

Speaker 4 (29:31):
No? Not enough?

Speaker 1 (29:32):
It was his ninth one hundred plus yard game, tying
Chris Carter for the fifth most in Ohio State history.
So get you gotta get these last two right, Reverend Ray?
Or out here you're out here? We go? Question all well,
only one more if you get this one wrong? Question four?
Nick chubbah loah love Nick Chubb, the third player in
NFL history with at least eight rushing touchdowns in a

(29:53):
season or in each of his first five seasons. Is
that we're on the air? Ray? Hello, you're on the air. Yeah,
I'm okay.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
They want to find out on the air.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
All right? Too much or not enough? Please make this end?

Speaker 3 (30:12):
All right?

Speaker 1 (30:13):
What's the answer?

Speaker 6 (30:14):
What's the question?

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Just give me the answer. It doesn't matter. Too much
or not enough?

Speaker 6 (30:20):
Not enough?

Speaker 1 (30:21):
You sure about that?

Speaker 6 (30:22):
Too much?

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Is it too much? Yeah? You gotta go anyway? Yeah, yeah,
you got it wrong. It was not enough. He's the
fifth player, joining Jim Brown, EMITTT Smith, Ladenia Thomason, and
Adrian Peterson. We'll let you go, Reverend Ray, you got
stuff going on there.

Here we got a minute.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Hey heaven, Oh Iowa.

Speaker 4 (31:56):
Like you give a damn now presenting the most up
to date happening. It's from Iowa's four Division one teams,
Ladies and Gentlemen, cows and pigs. It's the Iowa Minute.
Here's Iowa Sam.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
This is exciting. Here the first Iowa minute on the
weekday show.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah, Iowa Minute.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Love the music so good?

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Thank you Eddie movie stripes.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
It smells like corn all of a sudden eighty I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Why corn porn. The Iowa Minute reinstated after a long furlough. Guys,
this is fertile dirt, as dark and rich as the overnight.
I have to read this disclaimer first.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
You have a disclaimer. I didn't realize we had.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
A ioa minute. May in facts for past sixty seconds.
All right, I got that out of the way.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
No, no, no, we're on a tight clock here. I'm
on time. Mallard by the clock. Four the clock, Applausa,
be all about the clock.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Well, we cover the four athletic corners of the Iowa
Kingdom here on the IOA minute, guys, we're already a
court of the way through the college football season. That's crazy, man,
it really hasn't been the where's the time go? I
know we've been waiting for it and we're already quarter
the way through it. Well, it hasn't been the best
of starts for Iowas Division one programs. Let's start with
the Drake Bulldogs. Oive ben ouv.

Speaker 7 (33:12):
I like that?

Speaker 1 (33:13):
You're sucking up to me with the OIV I like that?

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Are the Drake Bulldogs bad? How bad? Are they?

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Ben?

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Funny? You so bad?

Speaker 1 (33:20):
How much do they think?

Speaker 3 (33:21):
What in the name of Terry Brandstad is going on
with these Bulldogs out of the Pioneer League. First they
get their silage pounded fifty five to seven at North Dakota. No,
not North Dakota State, Ben North Dakota.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
That's embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Then the Bulldogs lose at home twenty seven to twenty
four to Northwestern College.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
I don't even know where that is Northwestern University of
Northwestern College, Ben.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Do you know where Northwestern College is?

Speaker 4 (33:48):
Ben?

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Just imagine in the northwest. I would think it's Orange City. No,
not Orange City, California. Where's where where orange City? Iwa?
That's far in northwestern Iowa. That has a bad loss.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Bad loss idea, that's embarrassing. Did they have to run
gassers after that? Probably? Probably burpes?

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Burpees? Yeah, burpees and gassers. Then the Bulldogs followed up
that stink fart with a seventy to seven, yes, seventy
to seven loss at home to number one South Dakota State.
Up next four Drake is.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
I realized we're getting the full Drake schedule here. I
had no idea that the Iowa minute would be really
the Drake minute.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Amazing preview of the next game. But they are at
Morehead State.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
You know a lot more Ado network doesn't cover Drake
this much.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Do you know that they don't? They've they've they've forsaken
them all right, And moving on to Northern Iowa, Panthers
are one and two after a thirty to nine opening
night loss to fellow Iowa men a member Iowa State
but the Panthers are back on track after a forty
one to seven win at the Bengals of Idaho State,
and I hear they have good potatoes.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Oh, Idaho State, the Bengals. I knew that unless they didn't.
Hi you Jesus, no, thank you Idaho.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Up next for uh Northern Igh Warner. That's Kurt Warner,
former alum of UH.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
The most famous grocery store bagger of all time. That's right,
super Bowl Champions supermarket Steve. And we got a lot
of grocery store people here.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
Yeah, well, they will be playing Youngstown State at the Unidome.
Up next, Iowa State. The aforementioned Cyclones got off to
that nice win over Northern Iowa, but after losing at
home to Iowa in the Syhawk rivalry game twenty to thirteen,
Iowa State went east Tathens, Ohio and things went very poorly.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
How poorly do you big that?

Speaker 4 (35:35):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (35:35):
You're fine?

Speaker 4 (35:41):
And no good?

Speaker 1 (35:44):
What a bomb?

Speaker 4 (35:45):
Contraires can't believe it?

Speaker 1 (35:47):
The guys State is still played here the.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Fourth credit to espn U for that, and uh, hey
look good to me. But Ohio prevails ten to seven.
That missfield goal could have been difference.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
There on Iowa minute. Here this is the I think
we're in our third minute or fourth minute of the
Iowa minute. Here, this is amazing.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
One and a half schools to go and and some
more exclusive audio. All right, here we go here, Oh, Ben,
I have obtained exclusive audio from Shane and des Moines
following the loss.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Oh is that right?

Speaker 6 (36:18):
No?

Speaker 1 (36:18):
God, please, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
Up next, a very desperate Oklahoma State team in ames. Finally, Iowa,
the last of the undefeateds.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
You saved them for last because they're closest to your heart.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
Oh that's too loud. Well, it's the you know, they're
the little thing, the only shot that the uh, the
Iowa schools have at any type of decent.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Want to point out, though, Iowa, that was so loud.
We have more offense on this Iowa minute than the
Hawkeyes have.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
Iowa is three and oh after putting up forty one
whole American US pints on Western Michigan. Let's go to
the audio tape.

Speaker 8 (37:00):
I must have missed that from the ball right in
the middle of the field, here's McNamara. He's looking looking
backs up, fires into the end zone, caught touchdown. Iowa
Welcome to the party, Deontay Vines.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Touchdown, hawk guys.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
That guy's got a good quote.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
Welcome to the party.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
Pal was Gary Dolphin from Learfield.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
In there a long time.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
He's been there a long time, a little bit before
Kirk Farans got there. But hey, Ben, we have now
obtained more exclusive audio, this time from Chris in Des Moines.
Oh yes, yes, yes, he's very excited. And all exclusive
audio on the Iowa Minute is brought to you.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
By Up to the Minute Grain Prices.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
That's our sponsor, Grain Prices up to the Minute.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
All right, what is the price of grain right now?
What are we looking at to bed?

Speaker 7 (37:45):
I don't think you answered my question.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
What's the break even price for soybeans in Iowa? You
grew up on a farm, you.

Speaker 6 (37:49):
Should know this.

Speaker 5 (37:50):
I think you had asked about corn, and it depends.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
On I asked her corn.

Speaker 7 (37:54):
It depends on.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
What the inputs are, but probably about five point fifty. Well,
you're a couple.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Dollars off I think here because it's ten oh fiveing.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Are we trading soybeans and pork bellies? Is that what
we're doing right now?

Speaker 3 (38:06):
So let's get to this real quick. Speaking of exclusive audio.
This was making the rounds in the past few days.
Here's much beligned Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferrence telling people
to get off his back.

Speaker 7 (38:17):
Allegedly all have had fun with this twenty five point
obsession and I get it.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
I do.

Speaker 7 (38:23):
But if I'm not mistaken, we just dropped forty one
on Saturday, So maybe it's time to grab a hold
of your little step ladders and go ahead and climb
out of my ass for a while.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
WHOA, Okay, it turned out to be a deep fake.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Turns out they have that technology in Iowa. They have
artificial intelligence and deep fakes. Oh you should have said that.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
I bet he.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Wondered authentic to me and uh sign a real yeah
I know. And up next for Iowa at number seven
Penn State the Beaver Trap and that's Ryoa.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Minute and LeVar Arrington will be at that game, fox boy,
I believe he will be there. The fine Penn State.
That was the Iowa five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
thirty fourtey minutes
