We Need Inhalers | 49ers-Bears Postgame LIVE

[00:00:07] Speaker A: All right, Dieter and Hutch. Does anyone else need like five cigarettes after that game? [00:00:16] Speaker B: I. [00:00:17] Speaker A: That succession, Just. Just a whole pack. [00:00:19] Speaker B: I'm. I'm in Denver and, you know, with my girlfriend and her brother and another couple, and I'm trying to be a human and sort of like simultaneously have, like shutting this bar down and having my laptop out and also being locked in on the game. And at the last play, I was like, I'm sorry, you all need to stop talking and watch whatever's about to happen with four seconds left because this is unbelievable. [00:00:47] Speaker A: I. My only takeaway is that I really should have stuck with my original score prediction, which was 49ers by like 3 or 4. 40. I think I had 41 39. [00:00:58] Speaker B: So I have no idea what I. [00:01:00] Speaker A: Predicted, but it was exactly what we thought it was going to be. It was a Big 12 shootout. [00:01:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:06] Speaker A: That Brock Purdy won. It sometimes doesn't have to be more complicated than that. Brock Purdy made, by the way. Caleb Williams didn't. [00:01:19] Speaker B: By the way. Brock Purdy playing with like an unfathomable level of white boy swagger that has not been seen in, in quite a. Quite a long time, I have to say. Just like, just a stunning amount of like, would be immediately elected president of, of byu, whatever. Whatever Christian school he would lead them. It's. It's unbelievable what they're doing. I, I said it in my column. I don't think anyone can stop this offense except themselves. [00:01:54] Speaker A: Yes. Yes. How good do you have to be to be unquestionably the player of the game when you throw an interception for a touchdown on the first play? [00:02:06] Speaker B: You know, it's funny. I turned the game on 15 seconds in and I went, what's happening here? Right. [00:02:12] Speaker A: Yeah. You text me like, why is Trent in the tent? I mean, literally, the first play of that game could have been just the full crashing symbol of the season. Right. Like they had gotten away with it for this long. Trent goes down. You don't have Kittle. Brock throws a pick six on a jump pass. And you can't tell me that anyone felt good about what was going to happen from that point on. I'm like, jesus, we are in for a long haul. [00:02:41] Speaker B: So Austin Pleasance and I went, oh, maybe he's going to right tackle. No, no, it's Austin Pleasant at left tackle, folks. [00:02:51] Speaker A: And you know the crazier part, he was good. He was like quite good. [00:02:56] Speaker B: Well, he got whooped a few times, but. But for being Austin Pleasance could have been much worse. [00:03:03] Speaker A: I thought he was an unbelievable asset in the run game. They did like a ton of pin and pull stuff with Austin Pleasants. Uh, yeah, he got burned by Booker that one time. There were a couple of reps. Like, I'm not pretending as if Austin Pleasance was, was out here looking like Trent Williams, but like the fact that Austin Pleasance isn't the story of this game and that we probably could have gone an entire episode without mentioning Austin Pleasance is insane. I, I cannot fathom how this off. They were down four of their five best non quarterbacks in this game. Like you're not supposed to. They have $110 million on the books in Dead Cap if you include Brandon Auk. Like, none of this is logical. [00:03:50] Speaker B: One of, don't worry because one of them decided, all right, I should probably coach the defense for these final snaps. Fred comes out of the booth, leaves his family. He goes, they actually need me down there. I gotta get down there. And he starts and he's. He's on the sidelines stroking his chin. He's like, I need to help. I need to figure out what's happening here. [00:04:12] Speaker A: Let's talk, let's talk about the defense for a second. It's. It's too easy, Pickens, to just go in on the offense and how great Christian McCaffrey is and how Jake Ton, just so long as George Kittle doesn't play, is one of the 10 best tight ends in football. Just, well, he died so he could live. [00:04:28] Speaker B: He's just outstanding. [00:04:30] Speaker A: This is, again, unfathomable what they're doing, but it's also kind of unfathomable how bad the defense is right now. Like, I, I like, I liked what Keon White's done. I thought that Alfred Collins had good reps. Like, I can find you positives. And yet their safeties are so bad, it just kind of doesn't matter. [00:04:53] Speaker B: Like, okay, so correct. Correct me if I'm wrong. Was Keon White hurt at any point at the end of the game? I. Maybe I missed it. [00:05:00] Speaker A: Not to my. [00:05:02] Speaker B: To Cleveland Farrell. An unfathomable number of times at the end of this game. And they also went to Kalia Davidson. I will say, like I am with defensive coaching, I tend to be a little bit hesitant on. There's a lot of scheme stuff you don't know notice until after it's done with this. [00:05:19] Speaker A: Right. [00:05:20] Speaker B: The amount of male decisions that were just flat out damning. Using Luke Gifford, who every team literally looks like is like, oh, that's literal barbecue chicken. Found them field Throw at him. They hit a wheel router out and up on him every single game consistently. Then, oh, shocker. They attacked the safeties. We knew that was going to happen. They got beat bad on multiple occasions. Whatever. That's what you take. You decided Marquis Siegel is worthless for. For reasons unbeknownst to any of us. Oh, he. He missed a couple close plays early in the season as a rookie who you raved about at. At an. At a level that I could not fathom. But I. I bought in legitimately. [00:06:04] Speaker A: Legitimately. They were so effusive in their praise that we're like, I don't know, maybe we got it wrong. And then maybe. [00:06:12] Speaker B: Maybe he's the truth. And then we bought in and they went, no, no, no, no, no. Never again. And he wasn't that bad, especially for a rookie who's getting accustomed to an ever evolving scheme anyway. So the defensive front, they kept throwing Cleveland Farrell out there in key situations. I'm like, keon White has been the guy for you. And it was like. And then they're using, like, Kalia Davis on every single snap. I'm like, it should be C.J. west and Alfred Collins down the stretch without question. Anyway. [00:06:40] Speaker A: Can I. Can I throw? [00:06:41] Speaker B: That's. [00:06:42] Speaker A: So let's just go on to Chicago's last drive, right? Which took forever. I haven't counted the amount of plays, but it's an entire sheet here and critical third down to start this thing, right? So they. They get five yards immediately. There's the holding on Lucas batted pass by Collins. They get swift in the flat for. For six yards. And now it's third and four at the 49, right? And when we're like under two minutes to play and they have to call a timeout because Cleland Farrell is running onto the field as the ball is, like, being snapped. Then they have the timeout. They've gone to commercial. They come back, Cleland Farrell doesn't know the play, and Tatum Bethune has to pick him up and throw him into the correct gap. So that's what was happening with like a minute and 25 seconds to play in this game. They're throwing Cleland Farrell, who they signed like four weeks ago, off the street right onto the field. And he not only doesn't know he's supposed to be on the field, but then when he's on the field, doesn't know what he's supposed to be doing. That's where this defense is at. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that Nick Sorensen was still kind of running the thing, but I know better and so I can't say that Chase Lucas is out there. Sorry. I want to. I want to jump tail very quickly. Yes, there were to be. By the way, today was another day. [00:08:13] Speaker B: For take your Luther Burden. Yeah, I don't Luther Bird victory lap. [00:08:20] Speaker A: Well, it's a Luther Bird victory lap because he was my. He was my number one receiver in the draft. Like, it's just. He's. He's absolutely sick. And now that he actually is playing in a real offense. Because I also watched Missouri football, I'm familiar with what it is they do. They don't have a passing offense. Regardless, this was. This was a great day. If you really enjoy watching cornerbacks and defensive backs just get put to the ground like it's the Anworth One mixtape tour. Ricky did 26 in early in a. In a terrible way. Burden was putting dudes on the ground. Lucas was out there on ice skates in the perfect condition football game. It was. It was brutal. I love that. [00:09:00] Speaker B: I love that people consistently just conflate Pierce all having injury issues with him being bad. And then he plays and it's like, oh, no, he's the truth, obviously. Anyway, continue your point. [00:09:11] Speaker A: And. And what terrible luck he has had. And. And yeah, he. He's absolutely sick. Regardless, going off of the Seagull thing, it's like they allowed Upton Stout to fight through that stuff. And Upton Stout didn't have a perfect game today, but he has looked so much better. And it was pretty obvious when Upton Stout was not on the field because they're like, let's go with Luke Gifford. Found him. Like, what were our main takeaways going into this game? If you play base, you die. And then Robert Sala in the third and the fourth quarter is like, what if we played some baseball? [00:09:46] Speaker B: Also. Also, at some point you gotta play man coverage, even if your personnel is terrible. Like at a certain point when they're. When they're ripping you for six yards and, and it's. Listen, you can take the dink and dunk stuff for the majority of the game, but in key situations when you actually need to stop on like, I thought they did. [00:10:04] Speaker A: I thought they did some decent man stuff. I think that they're. [00:10:07] Speaker B: I didn't see. Maybe I need to rewatch again. I didn't. I. [00:10:11] Speaker A: It's hard. [00:10:12] Speaker B: I thought they played it like, I agree. But it did feel like there were a lot of moments where it's like. [00:10:19] Speaker A: They come out in the second half and they just Started nickel blitzing. That was their only move. I mean, it's funny, I wrote in my column that Shanahan is calling offense like he's playing Madden on rookie mode. And to steal a phrase that you constantly use, like Salah's calling defense as if he's just like, asked Madden. I don't know. Just take the first thing. And there's like seven plays that are available to him. [00:10:41] Speaker B: It. It feels fundamentally like they don't have a defensive identity and they don't have one thing that they can lean on to say, all right, we really trust this player to sort of guide us in this moment in the run game. It feels like they trust Bethune to fill and they trust their safeties to fill and come downhill. And they're increasingly confident in the run defense. While there are moments where they get gashed really badly. It feels like there are times where you're like, oh, there's, there's actually like two good reps and then they got destroyed on the third one. But like, there's a little bit of trust there. [00:11:14] Speaker A: Like there was. I agree, to be sure. Like the, the. Oh my God, the, the swift touchdown run. It's like how many things can go wrong on one play. [00:11:24] Speaker B: As soon as it's a clear passing situation, it doesn't even have to be because every snap can be a clear passing situation. Against this defense, there's. Bryce Huff has been there like he's never been a 1A guy. He's been great all year, but like, he's, he's like a two. He's like a tier two guy who's really good, but when, like, he's not getting much other help and you're asking every snap of him and he's getting exhausted, it's hard for him to, to have that production, especially when you're not getting anything else. And they're clearly so concerned about Caleb scrambling and doing off schedule stuff that there's like an element of like, can we even try and sack him? There are multiple times where you saw that. And so even when they'd sort of get home, it was like a hesitancy to like actually get home. And then in coverage, like there were times D. Winters looked like he didn't know the play. Like that last one. [00:12:15] Speaker A: Yeah, it was a tough, I think. [00:12:16] Speaker B: On the fourth down and you're like, all right, so you can't. De Winters is supposed to be the only guy you can actually trust in coverage because even Bethune's a mess. And then the secondary, you got Daryl Luder out there, who. They can talk him up all they want. Not a. Not a great player. Just full stop, not a great player. And then it's like Chase Lucas is. Has some moments, but clearly is a liability. Domino or Lenore, I guess played well because I didn't notice him that much. [00:12:43] Speaker A: I disagree. [00:12:43] Speaker B: And then the safety with that, he. [00:12:45] Speaker A: Was awful in the run game. Diamond or Lenore was just standing there in the run game. He missed a bunch of tackles in the run game. I tweeted out that he was having an abysmal game. He also just was picking up the wrong guy all the time. And it's not that it didn't feel. [00:13:00] Speaker B: Like there was any communication on the back end. [00:13:03] Speaker A: He's. And I've brought this up several times with Lenore this year. It's like, dude, like, you are supposed to. You're wearing a C. I'm not doing the whole thing again. But like, you're supposed to be the guy who knows the goddamn plays. Why is it that you're picking up the tight end in what is obviously a cover seven situation or a cover six situation? And we're doing quarters, half, half or half, half quarters. Like, how is it that you're. Who seems to not know what the responsibility is? And then it's like, okay, fine, they've had trouble with bunch formations. They have trouble with, you know, kind of overlapping routes. These are things that you would think that by week 17, they would be somewhat ironed out, but they're just getting worse. And then it's like Lenore's just standing there as guys run past him, or he's diving and not even coming close. And it's just like, dude, like, I can see why the Niners were keen to give you a contract with a ton of fake money. Because you can be great. [00:14:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:14:03] Speaker A: But you rarely actually are. And this is for a guy who I thought for the first six, seven weeks of the season was dog wash and then really turned it on and looked really good. And that was not a good game to revert. And I think that the tape is going to show that he reverted. [00:14:17] Speaker B: In this game, they just don't have like a single linchpin. And it's like you see Jair Brown trying to, like, coordinate the defense and get everything in order. And then you simultaneously see where he's like, all right, everyone. Oh, shit, it's on me. And then he gets flat footed and beat. [00:14:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:34] Speaker B: I mean, there's like, if I was literally any team facing them, I would take shot after Shot after shot after. I mean, you can do whatever you. [00:14:43] Speaker A: Want today, because that's what happened today. They took the Colts. [00:14:47] Speaker B: And it's not a shock. And it's not a shock. [00:14:49] Speaker A: They took the Colts game plan and they're like, what if we had a quarterback who can absolutely fucking rip it? Now, Caleb Williams also does this thing where he absolutely overthrows dudes by 7 yards for no good reason and spikes the ball with or, you know, air mails it into the crowd in a modicum of pressure. I stand so by my take that the guy has no feel at all. He is absolutely sick. But he. He doesn't have. You saw the difference between feel and no feel in this game. And the winner is the one that had feel like Brock Purdy does not have any of the physical traits that Caleb Williams. [00:15:24] Speaker B: That one touchdown he scored where he threw it to Juice was fucking ridiculous. [00:15:30] Speaker A: But the dude is. And I'm gonna steal Danny Kelly's line. Like, he's just a sneaky little shit. Like, there's no, like, other. He's just the sneakiest shit that ever existed. And you know what? That wins a lot of football games. [00:15:45] Speaker B: Feels like Caleb's trying to do cool stuff too much. And. And I. And that's. That's not really a valid criticism. But, like, it does feel like at times you're like, I know there's something there. And you see him, like, sort of trying to find a balance. And again, like, he wasn't the problem. He was good. [00:16:03] Speaker A: He was very good today. [00:16:04] Speaker B: And it's like, not really about him in this game. Both. Both offenses were moving the ball. And what I want to say is Ben Johnson feels like one of. The. One of the pros and credits we give McVay is that he is a pragmatic person. And he goes, yes, this is a weakness. And remember, he did that to Siegel. He attacked Siegel. And that's like the last we saw of Siegel where they threw it at him like 10 times in that game, right where the Rams went right at him. And then we never saw him again. It was like, all right, well, he got beat and a couple times really bad. But most of the time he was close and whatever. McVeigh identified a weakness and went after it. And guess what? Same weakness. Safeties. If they're destiny, like you say, it's not going to go well. And you saw Ben Johnson go, I am going to slaughter them. [00:16:51] Speaker A: And he did every touchdown. Jair Brown made a bad play on just every one of them. And it's like, why would you do anything else? Why would you not just listen? There's a lot of places you can go to get easy pickings against this Niners defense right now. And they just kept going at 27 because he. He at least plays with aggression, which I suppose can be viewed as a positive, but they just weaponize it. Like, it's easier for other teams to just go at him because they can weaponize that aggression against him. And even more so than just taking a weak link. Like, let's also be clear about what we're talking about with this 49ers defense right now. They're starting linebacker two weeks ago was a healthy scratch. Today, like, Curtis Robinson went from starting linebacker to. Oh, no, he's fine. We just can't have him on the active roster today. So. Right. I'm in total. Like, in general, it's. None of this makes any sense. This team should know. Yeah. Have lost countless times, but their offense is a fucking wagon. It's a wagon. [00:17:58] Speaker B: And let's be clear. Let's be clear. They're doing this without George Kittle. Trent Williams out first play of the game. He didn't help Ricky Pearsall, who someone. Yeah, Ricky Piersol, who is awesome. But as someone else mentioned on my substack was like, do you have the fear that he's deeply injured every time he gets hit? Yeah, it does seem like every time he gets it, you're like, is he out for the year? Okay. But they're doing this with, like, him and Juwan Jennings and Kendrick bourne, who, again, 17 weeks into the year, may or may not know the play. Every time. Whatever. Seems to be helping Jake Tondras, who's just, like, sick as hell for no discernible reason. Not sure if I saw Luke Farrell and Kyle Uschuk, who's just, like, having a resurgent year. [00:18:46] Speaker A: Like, I mean, let's not forget the guy who's really doing it, which is Christian McCaffrey, who, for some reason, after 371 touches or something coming into this game, looks better than he's ever looked. Like just the inverse of anything you knew about football. [00:19:05] Speaker B: Clearly had his, like, oblique tightening up on him and was just like, he. There was. It's funny because you could see in his eyes, he was like, I need to come out of this game. And he went, oh, no, I. I'm not allowed. I cannot physically come out of this game or we will lose. [00:19:20] Speaker A: The last two weeks, he's just made runs with such insane burst off of jump cuts and stuff. And you're like, holy shit. [00:19:28] Speaker B: Like, this is missing at least one tackle every play. [00:19:32] Speaker A: He has more than 100 forced missed tackles this year. He has like 20 more than anybody else at this point. And again, he looks, he looked better this week than he did last week. And last week he looked better than the week before. And it's like, how is he the only running back who's benjamin buttoning this situation? Because every other running back looks like dog shit right now because they took all these hits. And he's like, no, they only make me stronger. I wrote my column today that the universe has decided that the 49ers will not win, and the 49ers have decided to submit the universe to their will instead. And it's like, it is. What they're doing is, is, is deeply absurd. They're going out with Austin Pleasance, Jake Tonjas, and, you know, five broken ribs, Jennings, one healthy ankle, Ricky Pearsall. And they're, they're putting it on a Bears team that already has clinched a division and was 11 right. Four going into this game. And it's like, I, I, I'm not pretending as if the Bears were some sort of great defense. I think I called them the most 17th defense I've ever. But like, yeah, they have a good coordinator. They in theory should bend but don't break. And they just immediately shattered into a million pieces after their cool play of the game. And I am, I'm legitimately in awe. I'm in awe. I've never seen quarterback play like this firsthand consistently. And I've never seen an offensive play caller operating on this level. Like, Kyle was unquestionably better as an offensive play caller today than Ben Johnson, who was absolutely cooking. [00:21:11] Speaker B: It's remember the point in the season where there was like a little bit of like, should Mac Jones still be playing? Like, that's how long and strange and bizarre the season has been that they were winning with Mac Jones and this like, mod podge offense of just corpses out on the field, just walking bags of bones out there and just like stumbling to wins. Which turns out a couple of the teams they lost to are pretty good. Yeah, we. Some didn't know. Turns out, turns out actually all the. [00:21:43] Speaker A: Time the only bad team they lost. [00:21:46] Speaker B: To was the Bucks. Right. Jaguars, Texans, Rams. Bucks. [00:21:50] Speaker A: Yeah. And that was before the Bucks decided to go into freefall. And the Bucks can. [00:21:54] Speaker B: The Bucks probably still. Yeah. Correct. [00:21:57] Speaker A: So correct. [00:21:59] Speaker B: No, but it's. What I want to say is like we, we have a tendency to, to be like, well, wild Stuff, but, you know, it's good coaching. It's like, no, this is, like, this is stupid. It's totally irrational and should not be happening, right? But there's like a level of just. Just defiance and indignance by this team that I really haven't seen in a long time. And I think regardless where it ends up, I'm done. [00:22:30] Speaker A: Predicting being stubborn might be the only trait necessary to win a Super bowl this year. They will also maintain that they could lose by 40 next week. And all of this feels really stupid. Like, I, I wouldn't. I don't think that. Do not get the impression, as if we are selling you, that these 49ers are, in fact a well rounded, professional, comprehensively great football team. They have a truly elite unit in their offense. They are winging it on the other side more and more each week and. [00:23:04] Speaker B: Pretty good on special teams. [00:23:06] Speaker A: Pretty good on special teams. Like, yeah, this, this is. This is going to test two of my theories as hard as they've ever been tested. One which is you can't be a good team without good special teams. The Niners have tested that before. It has failed them in the biggest moments. And I have maintained. But the other one is that safety is our destiny. And if this team, because I can't tell you, they won't, and if somehow these safeties win the Super Bowl, I gotta. I gotta reevaluate a lot of things, but it's in their office so goddamn good, it might not matter. [00:23:41] Speaker B: It's astounding that this has gone from a. Like, not, not like a probability, like a certainty that it was impossible for them to win the Super Bowl. Right? Like just. [00:23:51] Speaker A: Just a few times. In a literal sense. [00:23:55] Speaker B: Yeah, impossible without Nick Bosa, without Fred Warner. And then you're like, okay, it's still impossible. And then they lose Michael Williams, you're like, I didn't even consider that they could lose another piece like that. And you went, all right, well, it's. It's over a million times over. And now on top of that situation. [00:24:12] Speaker A: Where I'm like, yeah, on top of that, they didn't have Brock Purdy for eight games and George Kittle for seven. They lost their show for seven. So they lost their number one receiver. They certainly didn't have the other guy who was supposed to be their number one receiver. They missed Kittle for seven. They missed Purdy for eight. And in fact, they wish they missed him for one of those games that he did come back for. They are down Fred since week six. They're down next. Since week Bosa. Since week three, they go down their first round draft pick. They've. Upton Stout spends half of his time in the injury tent. Their third round draft pick, a top 100 pick got cut in effect this past 10 in these past 10 days. [00:25:00] Speaker B: And Bernardo Green has had like a neck injury that has sidelined. [00:25:04] Speaker A: He can practice, but he can't play, which is the inverse of what you usually hear this time of year. [00:25:09] Speaker B: I do not want to know what that injury is. [00:25:12] Speaker A: I mean, it's like one of those things where it's like so long as no one's hitting him, he won't die. But if he were to go play football, he would, he would die. So they can't let him do that. It's like, what? Yeah, I don't want to know. It's like it's not a slip disc. Like the disc is entirely out and just hanging around somewhere in his neck or something. Let's. Let's give. We're negative Nancy's right now like Purdy and what he's doing. Like, I made the comparison a long time ago. I, I codified it in a column during the 23 playoffs that he was. That he was Russ Wilson reincarnate. P. Cross Wilson reincarnated. [00:25:57] Speaker B: I think we, I forget when we talked about that, but we sort of both were like. It was a scary thing to say around these parts and I feel like a thought that you had a little too early, but you put it in writing like pretty early on. [00:26:11] Speaker A: It was a 23 playoffs and again, I like Danny Kelly's line. He's just a sneaky little shit, by the way. It's not as if it's all smoke and mirrors. He does all the basic shit that's necessary to do it. Him and Caleb Williams had an equal amount of sick ass plays today. The difference was that Brock executed the basics with an impunity and except, you know, the first fucking play and then on the, on the second end of it when he was doing the cool plays because he was able to execute them with a touch and a feel and sort of a verve to him, whereas Caleb Williams is doing like the underhand shovel and throwing it directly to somebody who's about to run into somebody's ass and it's like he might get there and when he gets there, it's going to be absolutely awesome. Like he's a Mahomes level talent, but I don't know if he's going to get there. Sorry. We keep coming back to Caleb. I'm just. [00:27:06] Speaker B: No, no, no. [00:27:07] Speaker A: It's the fact that the last pick in the 22 draft just beat him and they're both getting exceptional offensive play calling and they both have elite. Well, they both have very good offensive weapons. [00:27:17] Speaker B: It's, it's the thing of like, I think what people misunderstand about quarterback mobility is there's like a belief that it has to be like speed or like Lamar level talent to get away. You need quick twitch and agility in moments and a natural feel and Brock's feel. And I, I said this like pretty early on. It's like an elite level ability to feel pressure, adapt and get the out of there. And he is just enough scoop like Mahomes isn't that fast, but he's not. [00:27:49] Speaker A: He always looks. [00:27:50] Speaker B: God damn it, we had him. [00:27:52] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:53] Speaker B: 100 and, and I think what's I, I described in my column with the, with the thing he's playing like a prime version of Russell Wilson, but with like a real sincere swagger. Not the performative brand of like, oh, like I want people to like me. [00:28:09] Speaker A: No, he's just a little Steph Curry. [00:28:11] Speaker B: Like it's, it's a little bit dorky, but it's like endearing in a way that like you don't expect. Which maybe Mac Jones has rubbed off on him in that way, but it's like he really does have the ability to buy just the right amount of time and in that Steph Curry way. I've said it multiple times of the. No, no, no, no. Okay, yeah, sure. Like that Juice play that he throws a touchdown to Juice as good as. How many times is that like a strip sack or like an interception? [00:28:40] Speaker A: Like, well, he's had to collapsing on him. Also, it took NBC put it up. I'll pull up the number. It took like nearly nine seconds. Nine seconds on it. It was 5.8.5, 6. Time to throw. He cans the play at the line. Then my next note is, oh my God, Brock, he rolls left, he escapes Both Booker and 97 and he finds Juice. By the way, it was a 28, 28 game when that happened. Like this game was tied at 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35. [00:29:17] Speaker B: It's so rare to watch a game where you're just certain the offense is going to score on every single possession. And, and it's to my, to my sort of point. And I don't know that there's a tactical way to do this, but I really do think this defense should not be trying to stop anyone. They should just hyper Aggressively be trying to force turnovers to say the more possessions our offense gets, the more likely we are to win. Like, I know that that's like probably not a feasible philosophy to sort of do. And you're trying to just come up with the game plan to slow teams down. You're not slowing anyone down. You don't have the capacity to, to slow anyone down. What you do, what you can do is throw at the wall and see if maybe, you know, a pass gets stuck in that and you can return it. [00:30:06] Speaker A: I mean, I do think that having Green back will be helpful if he can ever come back. [00:30:11] Speaker B: I agree. [00:30:12] Speaker A: I'm just wondering what. This has to be the game and we can even start thinking about it because the game's on Saturday. For some reason. I have. I didn't even consider that a possibility. I thought Saturday. [00:30:25] Speaker B: I don't understand why they would do that. [00:30:27] Speaker A: I just thought Saturday was going to be a day where they cleared out the chaff so that Sunday could be badass. And instead they're like, what if we put our cool shit on Saturday so that we can watch Ravens and Steelers battle for the top of the NFC North? Like, what. Who wants to watch that on Sunday? Football? I'm sorry, Mayor Rico. It's quite so bad at it. [00:30:50] Speaker B: Why would they. Yeah, why would they put Panthers bucks. I don't, I don't get that at all. [00:30:56] Speaker A: I can understand a Panthers bucks on a, on a Saturday because it's like, yeah, I got. Yeah, that's. [00:31:03] Speaker B: That's true. That's a very, that's a very Saturday. Any, any team in the south, any south division. [00:31:09] Speaker A: Why would, why wouldn't the AFC north in their pile of garbage also apply as a, as a Saturday game? Like just. It's so weird to me. Like, is. Is NBC forbidden from doing back to back games? [00:31:26] Speaker B: It's. Yeah. Espn, abc. Oh, man, that's. That's not right. It is. [00:31:33] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. It's wrong. I mean, I don't. I'll say this. You know, The Niners in 21 went into a must win Week 18 game against the Rams without Trent Williams and Jalen Moore. Effectively. It took many years. Got himself $15 million a year off of that game. So it's been done before. I'm not sure I want to find out what Austin Pleasants looks like against the Seattle defense. And I got a little bit of the Seattle game today. They're still on the struggle bus offensively, like in a bad way. Like they're down bad on offense. I have A. I have a fix. Yeah, it's the Niners defense, but it's that defense. Their defense is still sick. Is absolutely sick. If the niners can put 30 on the board against that defense, I mean, I might. I might break my no. Betting habit and just ride, just ride with it. Because clearly logic has no quarter in the NFL in 25. If this Niners team is the one seed beating this, the Seahawks, like, it should come crashing down maybe next week. It's like 1313. [00:32:41] Speaker B: But I just can't see a way where they can. I don't care what defense it is. I don't see a way they can score fewer than 21 points a game. I don't. [00:32:52] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I really low bar for them right now. [00:32:55] Speaker B: No, that I'm saying, like, I can't fathom it. Like, it. Even against Seattle, Like, I still think they're putting up 28. [00:33:05] Speaker A: Doesn't the, doesn't the NFL know that I have to take my daughter to swim class on Saturdays? Like, don't they know that I have a way. [00:33:12] Speaker B: I don't know. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm going to be out of the country at a wedding. I'm going to be. I'm going to be the guy at the wedding watching football, streaming it illegally or not. Yeah. In another country. [00:33:24] Speaker A: We'll find out Internet. I'll find a way in international waters. [00:33:28] Speaker B: I'm going to look like a terrible person. But I have to. I have to find a way. [00:33:32] Speaker A: I mean, to, to your credit, that's a game that's of value. I did that at a wedding last, last spring for like game two of Timberwolves warriors, which it's like a. [00:33:45] Speaker B: In retrospect, the last time this, the last time this happened was Niners when they like whooped the Cowboys. I think it was two years ago that, that was. That was a rough one. But yeah, I'll. I'll find out. [00:33:59] Speaker A: Are we talking about the. The Dak Prescott quarterback sneaker? The Zeke Kelly at its center? Is that the same play? Have I conflated them? [00:34:06] Speaker B: No, I think it was. I think it was the super high scoring Niners put up a ton on the Cowboys either. Honest. I think it was a Sunday night. I think it was a Sunday game. [00:34:16] Speaker A: They played a lot back in the day, but. And I guess they won't. I don't know. [00:34:21] Speaker B: Who knows? [00:34:22] Speaker A: Okay. I'm really not excited to watch this defensive, Phil. [00:34:32] Speaker B: We'll. [00:34:32] Speaker A: We'll endeavor nevertheless. Do you want to. Do you Want to. Do you have anything else you want to get off your chest or should we just do some questions? [00:34:41] Speaker B: I don't think I have anything else I want other than that. The offensive line, I think, should get some real credit for not fundamentally collapsing without Trent Williams. [00:34:51] Speaker A: Y', all, y' all slander. Jake Brendel left him, right? And now Jake Brendel's coming for heads. Jake Brendel has been incredible. Spencer Burford has been incredible. I would like to say Puni did, too, but he, he got called for one holding. He kind of got away with a bunch of them. McKivitz is moving. [00:35:11] Speaker B: He's fighting for his life on every. [00:35:13] Speaker A: Snap, but, but he's good at it. I mean, it's another aspect, like their right guard who's played every snap this season. I think I, I could be wrong about that, but it's played dang.99, just like exploded his PCL on a kick in the preseason and has just been fighting through it the whole goddamn year. [00:35:36] Speaker B: He's literally invented new ways to pass block, where he's used his ass, he's used random body parts where he's like, spinning in a circle. I will say I saw last week where there was one snap where he got beat immediately and the speed at which he recovered was unbelievable. I think it's like, he's got long arms and he just has, like, a level of resilience. And like, I'm going to fight for every snap. That is genuinely really admirable. [00:36:04] Speaker A: Yeah, it is. And again, I thought Pleasance was pass pro. Is always going to be an issue with him. My issue with Pleasance in the preseason and why I was shocked he made the team is because he was God awful in the run game in the preseason. And you're like. [00:36:18] Speaker B: And I went. And I went, dieter. They don't have any other tackles, they need him on the roster. [00:36:25] Speaker A: I mean, I was like, you know, I understand that the situation's pretty dire out there, but I feel like you can find someone who can do something because at that point it appeared as if he could do nothing. And they're like, what if we kept both Hennessy and Pleasants? Like, what if we did that? And one of those has worked out, at least for a short period of time. Now, again, Seattle is a much different situation than, than Chicago. [00:36:54] Speaker B: But yeah, I mean, Brock could die next week. DeMarcus Lawrence could, could kill him. Williams in the entire front, they got some dudes. [00:37:05] Speaker A: But I just, I don't know. I, I every, I can't Remember who said this? Oh, no, it's Mike Elko, the coach of Texas A and M, where it's like, my job is to do the opposite of what the team wants to do. Like, if they're feeling themselves, I need to tell them that they suck and if they are shitty, I need to tell them that they're good. And like, that's been my natural personality my entire life. So part of me is, part of me is like, man, this other shoe is going to drop and it's going to be ugly. But I don't. I'm with you. Like, at a certain point the offense is so good and it comes back to just a really stupid, simple thing which is if you score more points, you win. It's. Turns out. Turns out. [00:37:54] Speaker B: I'll check the math on that one. [00:37:57] Speaker A: I checked the math on the dead cat number, but apparently if you score more points, you win. So it doesn't really matter if you get any stops. You just need to have the ball more. [00:38:06] Speaker B: Yes, I genuinely. If the 49ers have more possessions. Yep. That's all it is. [00:38:11] Speaker A: Turned into the NBA. Can you get up more three pointers and can you have more possessions where you can get up three pointers? Like, that's it. That's it. That's all it is. [00:38:20] Speaker B: That's why they're. That's why they're Big 12 champs. Let's rip through some comments here. Shout out Miguel and shout out Max. [00:38:27] Speaker A: Hey Miguel. [00:38:27] Speaker B: Thank you for joining the channel. Nevin. Chicago is neither that bad on D nor anywhere that near that good on offense. I think if that's completely right, I'm. [00:38:37] Speaker A: Not entirely sure that that's true on the ladder. I think that that offense. [00:38:42] Speaker B: You think the offense is closer? [00:38:45] Speaker A: I think the offense is closer. I think that that was a great matchup for them because again, the Niners have God awful safeties and all Caleb Williams wants to do is rip 28 to 45 yard post patterns. Like that's all he wants to do. So that worked out really well for him today because this is a team that is like, what if, like legitimately the entire Niners entire plan is like, what if you can't throw it deep? And then every other NFL quarterback other than Philip Rivers is like, are you kidding me right now? Like that's what I do. I've. I've been playing seven on seven. [00:39:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:39:24] Speaker A: Rashid Shahid could be a problem. Yeah. Jackson Smith and Jigba free release against Chase. Chase Lucas. Not ideal. I'm also excited to see how much UTs in dash motion. We get as. As Kubiak just rips off Kyle's entire offense. I was surprised actually we didn't see Ben. Ben Johnson rip off some clear Kyle stuff. I thought that they were in fact rather basic comparatively. [00:39:50] Speaker B: Well, because he has to prove he's used to prove he's his own entity and all that. [00:39:55] Speaker A: Was he doing like. Was he doing ethical play calling today? Was that what he was doing? [00:39:59] Speaker B: Something like that? [00:40:00] Speaker A: Yeah, something like that. He got a little. He was. He was on fire, I thought. But here's the thing. Like, he thought that the hook and ladder was going to win it and there were four dudes standing there and honestly, his hubris backfired because he thought. And they went, oh no, he's like a competent defense will sell out to stop that guy from running into the end zone and then he'll pitch it to somebody. And in fact, the defense was so incompetent that there were four guys away from him. What the guy, I can't remember who caught it. They all went the hook. [00:40:31] Speaker B: Yeah, they were. [00:40:31] Speaker A: They were five yards away. [00:40:33] Speaker B: Yeah. I think it was Loveland who caught it and pitched it. Yeah. [00:40:36] Speaker A: What Loveland should have done is turned around and ran because there was no one who was going to tackle him. [00:40:42] Speaker B: It's. Again, we talked about it. There is. When they get in the red zone, there is like this infatuation with getting a little too cutesy and you're ripping a team to shreds. Like just keep ripping them. Like they could have taken three more shots, right? Well, maybe it was 20. [00:40:59] Speaker A: Whatever it was, it was second down on the 13 yard line with 21 seconds to play. And they did. Yeah, they did a hook and ladder. [00:41:08] Speaker B: They just lost themselves possessions because they fully believed that would. That would win them the game. [00:41:13] Speaker A: And. And by the way, they had no timeouts, so they run this hook and ladder to win the game because it would have looked really cool in the highlight reel. And Lenore Brown and Bethune are all standing there because they were all not in position to make a play on Loveland, but standing behind him so far that they could make a play on Swift who got the first down. I mean, they still got 10 yards on the play. Right. [00:41:36] Speaker B: One more thing before we get to other comments. By the way. Bethune, multiple times in this game, just tackled the closest person in front of him that didn't have the ball because he went. I'm taking every. He got penalized for it once. He's like, I'm taking every person with me because I don't care about my life. I don't care about anyone else's life. And I'm going down and someone else is coming with me. And no one else is going to make the tackle. I'm just going full Brian Dawkins, pure murder. [00:42:05] Speaker A: He. He's not wrong about that. No one else is going to make the tackle. And he is unquestionably the 28th best middle linebacker in football, which so much better than the 45th and 72nd. [00:42:21] Speaker B: Yeah, it's, it's. Listen, it's. He's. He's somehow not even close to the weakest point on the defense. [00:42:29] Speaker A: In fact, he might be a strength. By the way, the Niners only have to play two more games. They only have to win two more games. And Fred Warner will play. [00:42:39] Speaker B: He said today actually happening. [00:42:41] Speaker A: That's what he says. He'll be back for the NFC Championship game. I think that doctors and sane people will tell him to not do that, but that's what he says. And you know what? [00:42:53] Speaker B: I. I'm not betting. [00:42:55] Speaker A: Let's roll. [00:42:56] Speaker B: I'm betting. I'm betting on the Super Bowl. I, I think it's like, I don't know. We'll see. I'm not him. Certainly not. [00:43:05] Speaker A: And, and he might in fact be him. As the children would say. Question time. I gotta shut the up question. I know, I know. [00:43:13] Speaker B: Back to back, six days off games. Not cool. It is kind of up to do that, especially a team ailing. [00:43:21] Speaker A: Yeah, well, you know, I, I've said this before. They got a week, 14 by week. And it, you know, they moaned about it for 14 weeks prior and specifically five weeks before. Big time, big time win for them. [00:43:37] Speaker B: Upside, you win it. [00:43:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:38] Speaker B: Then you, you win this game. You get two weeks. You get 15 days off. Maybe 14. [00:43:45] Speaker A: Probably. Probably 14. Almost guaranteed it would be a Saturday for the 1 seed, but that's 14 days off for the winner. Which I guess maybe that's why they did it because maybe that, maybe that's the argument of. You're gonna put the one seed coming off a buy on the short week. So, sure, build in whatever, a fair amount of rest. I don't know. Also, I'm sure ABC pulled the string. [00:44:16] Speaker B: I'm sure. 808-9-R4. Bob got his ass kicked again. Yep. I know he's got nothing to work with, but like. [00:44:27] Speaker A: Yeah, come on. Yeah. It wasn't as egregious last week. It wasn't as egregious as last week. Last week was just like oh, last week it was like, you didn't think that they could do that? I mean, to be fair, I didn't think they can do it, but like, you should probably have done some preparation on the possibility that they'll throw the football. [00:44:49] Speaker B: None of them are sleeping this week. None of those coaches are going home. None of them are leaving the facility. Kyle is going to have the most bloodshot Wednesday eyes you've ever seen. Oh, probably Tuesday. I guess this is, that's what it is. Because it's a Saturday game. [00:45:07] Speaker A: Oh, me. Jesus. Yep, yep, me too. So, yeah, that, that'll be fun. And then. Yeah, no, Bob, I mean, it's like it's two o' clock in the morning here. I, I, I know. I gotta get on. [00:45:26] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, you're still there. [00:45:28] Speaker A: I'm still in Florida and I come back on New Year's Eve. Oh my God, I'm so, I'm so. But you know what? Don't think things we do well. Not an issue for me right now. [00:45:41] Speaker B: Benali pointed out, by the way, more stead, a thousand punts, as I said, as I predicted correctly. Two more stead punts, two puns. Hunted twice, starting. Yeah, I will. [00:45:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:53] Speaker B: Then the defense did somehow force stop early. What was it? They forced two punts to start this game. Somehow they did. [00:46:02] Speaker A: Which pressed way. Yeah, Tresway had a hell of a punt in this game, by the way. [00:46:07] Speaker B: They actually forced three punts in the first half, if you can believe that. Didn't feel like that. [00:46:12] Speaker A: But that didn't happen. No, it didn't. [00:46:17] Speaker B: I actually, actually refuse to believe that that's true. Even, Even reading it off. NFL. Jesus. [00:46:22] Speaker A: I can't believe. I cannot, I, no, that's, that's, I don't think that that's a Mandela. I don't know what happened there. [00:46:29] Speaker B: I agree. Miguel asks specifically you because I didn't hear a word. Any thoughts on Chris Collins? [00:46:35] Speaker A: Yeah, Collinsworth was good in this game. Actually, I think I watched, I watched the Brady broadcast again and it's like he's not good at this at all. He literally could be replaced by an AI chatbot. Like I've done a couple of like automated, you know, phone calls to like customer service where you get the AI chatbot and you're like, pretty, pretty close. Like, I don't know, you could replace Tom Brady might not be there like that. Burkhart's not helping him. Well, and it's just, he just says whatever pops up on the screen, it's like a shiny object and then he yells out what it is. [00:47:14] Speaker B: It's like a barracuda. [00:47:16] Speaker A: And then Tony Romo is out here just. He is crossed up every which way. He's just. He's. He's. He's like. He's the man. There's some real divorced energy to the Tony Romo broadcast right now. I got to watch some. Some Joe Davis and Greg Olson today. They're really, really good, but I'll take to Rico is as good as it gets. I know that the Italian Stallion deserves a lot of. A lot of. A lot of strife, but there's a reason that dude is called everything and he is so goddamn good at it. And, you know, really, like, Tomico's on the call. You know, it's a good game. And then Collins worth. Collinsworth had these, like, strange moments of self awareness where he's like. He brought up Patrick Mahomes once or twice and he's like, I might as well keep doing it or I might mention a different quarterback. And then the here's a guy thing is so real. Like, he does it all the time. But the thing is, like, he's really sharp with the analysis. So if you get over the ropes, which he doesn't hear himself doing, like, he actually. [00:48:20] Speaker B: I think he's doing them sincerely, so it's okay. [00:48:23] Speaker A: I think his energy is positive. I'm not someone who needs energy from an analyst, but I do appreciate it, especially on a broadcast of that size. I think that he's really sharp in his criticisms. He's like, I love watching Caleb Williams play. I also have. He aptly called it. He stole. I mean, he didn't steal it from us, but he rightly pointed out Caleb Williams has a lot of weird plays. And, like, not a compliment. Like, he just does weird shit all the time. Yeah. Where you're like, why did you do that? Like, you. You can clearly throw it on a rope to anywhere. And you're like, what if I overthrew this dude by seven? Like, it's just weird plays. I thought that was good enough. I actually really like Collinsworth and I hope we get more NBC games because their video quality is second to none. Their production quality is second to none. To. Rico is as good as it gets. And. And Collinsworth is. It's really good. He's really good. So I'm pro. I can understand why people wouldn't. Because they can't get over the tropes. But. And he's not gonna, like, break down a game in a way that's going to teach you anything. But I do think that for mass consumption, he's as good as it gets. [00:49:34] Speaker B: I'm with you. I think he's been a lot better in recent years. And he's also not trying to pump pff, even though they could keep putting the stupid grades up there. All right, two more questions. Two more questions. Again, I work tirelessly to put out specific grades on the 49ers offensive and defensive lines. Thank you. It is, man. It is much more annoying. It takes a lot of time and sucks the life out of me, but I do it for you. I do it for you fine folks. Good question from the based mugs. [00:50:09] Speaker A: How. [00:50:09] Speaker B: How much is taking the D boy Debo Toy away from Kyle help the offense versus just having CMC back? I actually think that's a really interesting question. I think. I think he did default to Debo just as an outlet, as an answer, and sort of loving him as a player and loving his ability to do cool things with the ball in his hands versus recognizing his limitations versus man coverage. And now that that's not even on the table. And because he's had a lot of sort of Everyman and Juwan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne, there has been more of a necessity to be like, all right, I have Kittle and I have McCaffrey and Pearsall and they're all sort of. They can't be used in the exact same ways, but they do have similar functionality and effectiveness. And I, I sort of have to call an offense to those strengths and, and open up, I guess, avenues where I see fit. I do think it has made him more pragmatic. [00:51:04] Speaker A: I think that's fair. There were two plays that stood out to me in this game in relation to this. It was both, you know, sets where they were using kind of a modicum of motion on the perimeter to get man or zone reads. And both of them showed immediate man. And both of those were Purdy immediately thinking, I got to throw it to Pearsall because he's going to be open. And I think that the Deebo thing was painful last year on the basis of Debo was slower and lesser. But Debo can still get it done against a true zone. He just can't give you. He. Last year he was in a position where he just couldn't give you anything against man. And every team figured out we'll just play man all the time because they have no one who can keep us honest against man. And so it wasn't necessarily Debo's fault that he kept getting force fed. Everybody sucked against man and he was the guy who in theory could make something happen. He's Deebo Samuel and he was the guy who got moved around the offense most and became the first read most often. [00:52:14] Speaker B: Yeah, they didn't have the other pieces to actually be functional against man coverage. He also had that lung thing and was clearly out of shape and overweight. Factually speaking. Like that was obvious. And so he wasn't himself pretty sick. Seeing him like make a play in sort of a meaningless game and truck sticking somebody. Again. [00:52:33] Speaker A: My. [00:52:34] Speaker B: One of my favorite players all time just to watch when he's doing cool stuff. [00:52:37] Speaker A: No here for a good time. Last question. [00:52:42] Speaker B: Really important. [00:52:42] Speaker A: Well, no, I mean like just to. To put a bow on it. Like I do think having CMC back is critical because now you. You get that man to man beater. I think having Pearsall come through as a not reliable because he's not out there consistently enough. But as a. When he is playing, it's having Kittle, CMC and Pearsall and now being able to attack man with a level of certainty and confidence that they didn't have last year. Which meant that they just sort of went to the safety blanket again and again, which is Debo. Because it, you know, it was that or just force feeding Juwan Jennings. 50, 50 balls like they did with Tanjis today early in the game. [00:53:26] Speaker B: Incredible hands. Incredible hands. You think out of Kittle and. And Trent, what do you think those guys play? I. I think Kittle's gonna play against Seattle. [00:53:39] Speaker A: I think Kiddle plays. [00:53:40] Speaker B: I kind of don't think Trent does. If it's a hammy thing. I mean. It is a hammy. [00:53:47] Speaker A: It is. Yeah. Really, really tough read. [00:53:52] Speaker B: That's a tough turnaround on six days for a guy who's 36 days and. [00:53:57] Speaker A: Knowing that home and he shut it down immediately. I would, I would guess. No. Right now, on top of that, it's. [00:54:06] Speaker B: Knowing that they also have a run like they're in the playoffs. Even if they don't get the one seed, there is still an element of like you have to be smart. Right. [00:54:15] Speaker A: That. That would be. I think, I think that they. If it's anywhere close to 50, 50, they'll say no. Hope they can steal one. And in that get him enough time to where he should come back at 100% off of, you know, 15 days rest or 14 days rest or whatever on top of what he's just gotten. So now you get three weeks off. Now you can throw him in there and not have to worry about it being constantly. Because if you play him and then he dumps out, well, then you lose anyway. Now you got to. Now we're going to do it next week. Now we got to do it the next week. And at a certain point you just kind of want the certainty of who's going to play left tackle. So I don't think he plays. Unless today was the day they were being safe and it wasn't that bad. [00:54:59] Speaker B: A hammy's tough. A hammy's tough because once that thing goes again, it's, it's, it's rough. I would not expect to see Trent, especially for a guy of that size. [00:55:10] Speaker A: Like, I also think that it's, you know, important that, you know, Pleasants gets. I mean, he will unquestionably, he'll get all the run at first team. They're going to have to do a lot of stuff to protect him. There'll probably be a lot of feral next to him the entire game. [00:55:26] Speaker B: There. [00:55:27] Speaker A: It's going to be a real fucking issue. He was playing as well as he's played in years leading into this game his last month. [00:55:34] Speaker B: And also teams, to be fair, had zero tape on him whatsoever. Like, that does help Sia. [00:55:39] Speaker A: I was saying more with Trent, but yeah, now with Pleasants. Right, With Pleasants, I would imagine they're gonna try to do some pretty funky run stuff, some pin and pull stuff, get him out in space, move the pocket, all these things pass. [00:55:54] Speaker B: It's doable protection where he's pulling to get to get like a slide and he's pulling away from it. They do some of that with their left guards. [00:56:05] Speaker A: Yeah. To do traps with him might actually be a pretty good idea, ironically. And maybe they'll just steal. Like the Bears do a lot of that. They didn't do it in this game, but they do it. They did a lot of it against Green Bay in particular. And clearly, you know, Kyle's watching all that. So, like, he has some recent tape of teams that really enjoy doing that both against his team and in, you know, the teams that he's played in their games prior. So it's something that should at least be somewhere in his head and in Chris Firster's head, by the way, bang up job by Chris first or should be somewhere in their heads to maybe pull that. So it wouldn't shock me if we saw that. That's a good, that's a good thought. [00:56:48] Speaker B: Really, really important question. Are these international weddings covered for Jake's real job as some sort of COVID agent? [00:56:55] Speaker A: I don't know, man, I actually don't. [00:56:57] Speaker B: Worry about what I'm. [00:56:58] Speaker A: I just. I just like bitching. I've made them entirely. [00:57:01] Speaker B: Don't worry about, don't worry about what I'm up to. [00:57:04] Speaker A: Don't worry about it. Don't ask questions, don't. Come on. No, just you just get a very. [00:57:09] Speaker B: Sketchy stream for me in the middle. [00:57:11] Speaker A: Of a jungle just saying code words, just repeating them out. Delta Foxtrot 1242, 1890. Just sounds like you're doing a hard count before that. [00:57:25] Speaker B: I'm going to try and get the grades out. I'm going to try and churn tomorrow. Hopefully they, they put tape early because God forbid. [00:57:34] Speaker A: Okay, I think our plan will be Tuesday, Thursday. But you know, plans have a funny way of not working out sometimes. We'll find out. [00:57:42] Speaker B: We shall see. Thank you folks and hell of a night. [00:57:46] Speaker A: We will talk. Hell of a night.
