Editing Episode 500 (section)

== Mailbag Questions ==
* Nick Howard - Can someone explain why KOC choose to A: not take a timeout before the 4th down and why he choose to run it again with a Center and a QB who both have spend time on IR for back problems?
* Reclining Buddah - In a "pie chart of blame" for the Bengals loss, what percentages do you assign - KOC playcalling (general), KOC playcalling (OT QB sneaks), Mullens' INTs, defensive collapse in the 4th quarter, Jake Browning's vendetta?
* Cody - For Arif's 'Volatility' Corner: In the past you've said you want backup QBs to be volatile. during the Bengals game, Nick Mullens threw two touchdown passes to Jordan Addison that were highly questionable. are those throws examples of volatility? or were they too dangerous?
* Luke Braun from Ohio - For Arif's Blitz Package Corner: Can you explain Flores' tendency to drop 7 into coverage on crucial downs?
* Scott - Trying not to be too irrational, but should KOC be calling the offensive plays? He seems like he designs plays well/schemes open WRs, but his redzone/situational play calling has been suspect.
* Zygi Dilf - Between Mulllens, Dobbs & Hall do the Vikings currently have the highest variance QB room ever? Also, was that the single dumbest interception in NFL history?
* Paul - There's a lot of talk about regular fans not being able to complete a simple 5-10 yard pass in the NFL. But could a fan throw a more impressive interception than Mullens threw to the d-linemen?
* Noah - This question is specifically for Arif. As someone who was on the Vikes beat, how would you balance the passion and emotion you had as a Vikes fan after a tough loss due to poor decision making, with the questions you would ask the HC after a game?
* Ingrams Left Arm - What would Case Cookus's TD/INT ratio be in this offense? Should KOC give him a look so long as we're throwing crap against the wall?
* Chris - Would you be one of the 5000 fans at a 75000 seat stadium when tickets range from $5-$.50?
* Zac Dixon - Over under on the Vikings winning a Super Bowl by episode 1000?
* Tommy Gunn - What are your top 5 reasons for starting Norse Code all those 499 episodes ago? Wrong answer only, please.
* Kenneth Allen - For Arif's "I can't guarantee that anybody in the world will be alive [in the future]" corner, given that you don't know how long this podcast will be around, what do you want to get off your chest now, in celebration of the 500 episode mark?
* Kenneth Allen - For James' retrospective corner: Can you help Arif remember his worst ever takes?
* Bryan Jellerson - Congrats on making it to 500! Using strictly sports jargon/coachspeak, how would you describe your journey up to this point?
* Vignesh - Do you regret this?
* Maximillious - For Arif's let justice be done though the heavens fall corner, how many of these 500 episodes will be used against y'all as evidence in the future struggle sessions/at the day of judgement?
* Bridge over teddy water - Planning the 1,000th anniversary celebration. Cooking class with Dusty? Live anime watchalong with Arif? James officiating a wedding in the ultimate Relationship Corner?
* Kyle Segall - Back in 2015 he asked "Why was the 'thyme mayo' in today's cafeteria roast beef... red?"
* GlitchyLauren - Question for Arif's blitzonumerology corner: Per my own advanced charting, when the Vikings rush with either 3 or 6+ defenders they have a very high probability of "kicking butt." However, when they rush 4 they have a 100% "sucking butt" rate.
* Logan - Question for Arif & James' relationships & gifts corner: last year I followed your advice to Don from Ohio and bought my then pregnant wife a peloton w/ scale and she accused me of body shaming her. What gift would you recommend that will elicit a similar response?
* Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat - Assuming that Arif is a cat, we all know his everyday name, but what other names does he have?
* Logan Bolsharif - Question for James' relationship corner: Christmas romance advice - childhood friend, local Christmas tree owner, or vaguely European royalty?
* Arif Hasan - For James' relationship corner: how should one express one's true feelings to one's coworker in a stuffy and professional environment, like the US Senate?
* ZenCupid - Question for Arif's Puppy Power corner: My 7 month old Golden Retriever named Toph has just entered her first heat cycle and lost her appetite.
* Room Bolsharif - What was the coolest thing you ever did that no one actually saw?
