<br />
== Segments ==<br />
; Opening : Listener support and new donors<br />
; Live Show Announcement : November 29th taping from Pet Ah Skeys (Petoskeys)<br />
; Chiefs Preview : With guest Seth Keysor of KC Athletic<br />
; Mailbag : Extensive question coverage including game strategy and Halloween topics<br />
<br />
== Mailbag Questions ==<br />
* Luke Braun - Would it be better to play stronger coverage underneath and force Matt Moore into low percentage deep attempts, or take away the deep stuff and make them dink and dunk?<br />
* Bryan Jellerson - You guys think Thielen will be on a snap count?<br />
* Nick Olson - Vikings seem to have pretty ideal corners for bump-and-run press man coverage (Rhodes and Waynes obvs, plus Mack seems stickier and less prone to assignment errors in man). Why don't they do it more? Also who would you put on Kelce?<br />
* Ryan - While the Chefs seem to have a marginal defense their pass rush has been solid, over/under 2.5 sacks given up by OL? Is the Vikes strategy similar to the PHI game to pick on their poor coverage to mitigate the rush?<br />
* Nathan - How long do you think it will take Holton Hill to get up to speed on this defense and start contributing on a regular basis?<br />
* Matt Fries - If Trubisky and Wentz ever start playing well, will Arif switch to the @benbbaldwin strategy of taking credit for their turnaround, thus cementing his status as a member of Seahawks Twitter?<br />
* JPSee - If cousins play continues to be the same the next games will we see a potential contract Extension to lower the cap for next year?<br />
* Dusty - Who is more deserving of NFC Offensive Player of the Month than ol' Kirt Dirt?<br />
* Rahul - The Vikings have not drafted a QB in any round since Teddy in 2014. If Kirk continues to play well and there is no desire to replace him, how should the Vikings approach quarterback in the draft moving forward?<br />
* Aron Flasher - Have you seen the Joker? If Kirk Cousins scores a touchdown on a run and then breaks into the Joaquin Phoenix dance, is he referencing the movie, just a horrible dancer, or having a psychotic break?<br />
* Supercast - Do we truly know that Arif has emotions? If we beat KC it will be because...?<br />
* Eddie - Will Arif be eating BBQ while in KC? Oklahoma Joes or Q39?<br />
* Kyle Slaybee - Mysterious RV scenario with OSU hats and Sloter jersey - who do you DM for help?<br />
* Kyle Segal - Bag of candy corn, bag of circus peanuts. Gun to your pet's head, choose.<br />
* Don From Ohio - O/U 200 total yards for Dalvin Cook on Sunday? Most inappropriate costume when handing out candy? Most underrated horror flick?<br />
* Kenneth Allen - Is James going as Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf for Halloween? What's a reasonable price to pay to go to a game? Favorite Deadspin pieces?<br />
