Scot Combs and Tony Verkinnes dive into your mailbag comments in episode 197! From Vikings-Bears football analysis and WNBA MVP predictions to the legendary ice cream cone guy who climbed a 14,000-foot peak just to hand out ice cream sandwiches to fellow hikers. Plus updates on that influencer stuck in Antarctica for two months, Denzel Washington's name pronunciation revelation, and why the UK's first Karen convention was an epic fail with only one attendee.

Buckle up for another wild ride! We dive into the most bizarre news story ever - ranchers launching an actual ELK RIDING SCHOOL in Yellowstone to teach tourists how to mount wild elk (yes, really). Plus, we break down the Minnesota Vikings' latest moves with Adam Thielen's return and whether they can actually compete this season.

• Vikings roster analysis - can they win with their current lineup?
• WNBA "Stud Buds" bring more energy than most people have awake
• PETA vs Cracked Magazine legal drama gets spicy

We also get into some serious Vikings talk, discussing whether their receiving corps with Jefferson and potentially Addison could be elite, and why everyone seems to either love or hate their chances this season.
