9-22-26 Purple Positivity w/ Justin Ekstrom - Week 2 Recap
The Rock 108 Morning Show with Brian Marshall · Tue Sep 22, 2026
Who used all the Wi-Fi?
Ah, apartment life.
Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.
Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.
Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments, furnished in-unit washer and dryer.
Internet included a great central downtown location, one to five bedroom apartments, and no double occupancy fees.
That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.
Union Station Apartments, now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.
Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?
It's
free.
He wasn't able to make it yesterday because he was feeling a little under the weather and had lost his voice.
Why?
Probably, uh, yelling at the TV because of the Vikings, but how about some purple positivity back at it for the purple positivity, purple positivity podcast hosted by Justin Ekstrom on the beer belly sports network.
How about that?
You were scared of the bears and then should have been scared of more of the play that went on, right?
Justin,
that's exactly what is it.
Soldier field is so wanting.
I don't know what it is about it, but that was fun to watch.
Remember the old school football where, you know, scores were 10 to seven, nine to six all the time.
Yeah.
Now we're just treated, uh, nothing but offense.
That was, that was fun defense, lottery, spooky play.
It was, it was pretty fun actually.
So are you saying it's pretty fun because Caleb Williams went down or, or what are you saying?
No, no, no, I would never hope for anybody to get hurt.
I never, cause.
Here's in my infinite wisdom.
As I get older, I'm never going to wish bad on somebody.
Every once in a while, I hope someone gets diarrhea or bites the inner part of their cheek, but nothing bad.
I don't want Caleb Williams to go down and it looked like it was much, much worse the way he was like, you know, fist pumping the crowd and crying and stuff.
I don't want that to happen.
I want to beat teams at their best.
I hope he gets better soon because the Bears are much more fun when he's at the helm.
But man, that was, I think that's the only way the Vikings win that game.
I don't mean to chuckle during it, but I think, I think that's the only way a Beijing comes in there and he can't really string a whole lot together at the last second.
Uh, let's talk about the quarterback situation for the Vikings.
Now Kyler Murray is okay to go.
What's up?
Yeah, it looks like, so they just wanted to give him that extra week.
Kyler Murray is going to be good to go.
I'm not.
all that impressed with that little bit that we saw from him in the preseason or what I've seen in his career or what we saw in that first game.
However, his legs give you a little better chance than Carson Wentz.
We saw like in the rain, Carson Wentz, his heatball did not exist.
Right.
Like that rain was throwing it down.
He was missing wide open guys.
There were two touchdowns just there to be had and he missed them both.
What do you think?
Cause you said the little bit that we saw from Kyler Murray, which I thought you were being serious there for a second.
Or is it because he's small?
You're just saying the little bit that we saw.
That little bit is a big bit for every radio person ever, man.
Cause it's just, it's so funny.
Those photos, they're like the team, the team photos and it just shows like the top of his helmet.
It's so good.
Like the internet, the internet never loses.
Can you imagine what we would have done in Malacca if we would have had the internet to goof around with in high school?
We might have paid attention for a little bit.
Yeah, paid attention for a little bit, but can you imagine?
I mean, just the speed alone, it would have taken like six years to download Ossong, you know?
I think I still am downloading some little mashup.
I think it's still going right now on my old computer from back home.
So hopefully it'll be ready here soon.
Is it a mashup or is it that video that we weren't supposed to watch?
Yeah, maybe it could have been a little of both
with
good music in the back.
Up next for the purple and gold Vikings versus the Buccaneers.
What do you know about the Buccaneers besides they're on your bucking head?
Yeah, they're on your bucking head.
It's one of those things that I think they're good, but right now they're old and two.
They should be a lot better offensively than what they are.
I think, can you say a trap game?
When the
Vikings shouldn't have won either one of these games and then did, can you say a trap game?
I don't know.
This is more of a coin flip to me.
Is
the Vikings defense going to have all this rain behind them to make the quarterbacks kind of squirm a little bit more?
What kind of game plan are they going to have against Baker?
He couldn't run like Caleb Williams, so I mean, Caleb Williams still had 45 yards.
Baker is kind of sort of magic against these blitzing defenses.
One of the best defensive plays the Vikings had they only sent the five guys So I mean that last play Dallas Turner 1v1 They're not gonna block him with a Colston Loveland I know they're not gonna block him with a tight end when the last plays on I don't know what the Bears were doing there what Ben Johnson thought was a good idea Turned out to not be a good idea But I think it it might be you know like a 23 20 type of game and it's kind of a coin flip who could win this one
Just an extra of the purple positivity podcast, which is on the beer belly sports network.
If you're into Minnesota sports, they take care of you with beer belly sports.
Uh, you also have, this was one of the other programs I saw a deep dive into the North Dakota state, uh, the bison, my friend.
I think that's awesome.
Yeah.
The bison bits, that's, that is awesome.
And what a season they're having to, uh, I'd listen to him all the time.
They,
They are very, very good.
The guys on beer belly sports that he gets, just, just kind of guys like me, a couple of people that just kind of do this on the side,
a
couple of play by play guys that do this.
And it's, it's fun.
And the bison are having quite the first D one season right now.
They should run that mountain West.
You're looking at beer belly sports network.
You can find it wherever you get your podcast.
And Justin Ekstrom will post this a little bit later today.
I'll put it up on my social media for you.
Sounds good to me, man.
What are we going to talk about the E trait lions?
We want to talk about the E trait because they're definitely not having a big D kind of like me.
You wanted to swing that a little bit.
Is that what you're trying to tell
me?
Yeah.
Well, I would like to swing in a little bit more if you know what I mean.
Oh, okay.
Just try not to be in that.
That's enough of that.
