0:00Weekdays on Disney Plus from noon to three Eastern. Miss the show, we've got a podcast so you can listen anytime. But here's the best part. Our YouTube channel, subscribe at youtube.com slash Rich Eyes and Show and you'll never miss a moment. Now on with the show. This is the Rich Eyes and Show. You tool a agreement by the coaches. They know it's over from the Rich Eyes and Show studio in Los Angeles. The book is relevant and he bought it down. I have it. Touchdown 49ers. Today's guest, pro football Hall of Famers, Steve Young, actor Paul Rudd, plus latest news and more. And now it's Rich Eyes and show on the air. Paul Rudd, our three John Mackinar, our one great chat with Johnny Mack.

1:08And we kick off our number two with a Hall of Fame friend as well of the program. And someone who I hold near and dear to my heart because I just love talking to him. And every time I see his face as I see Steve Young now on the Rich Eyes and Show screen. Good to see Steve. How are you, man? How's it going? Really good. Really good. I got what do you believe that one second was put on appropriately from the Michigan game? Right from the get go. See, yeah, everything that I've seen. Everything that I've seen says it. Yeah. Yeah. Really? I want to clear the air. But let me ask if we're going to forget. No, no, no, no, go there. I don't want to conflate the conversation. No, right way. Conflate the conversation would be a great laid-at on a fantasy team lane, by the way. But in all seriousness though, it's not like they put the time back on for a push push from the half yard launch. Steve, I know. I know. I'm starting to do it. OK. I know. How are you? You good? You got your rest because it sure looked like all miners got their rest.

2:09Oh, you know, you talked to people. Well, I was starting to run into a friend who just got back from Australia. She's from Australia from Melbourne. And she said, why are the Rams? Like, anyone has ever taken that flight? What theory would you have that you're going to try to play a game after you get enough of the plane? And I go, I don't know. They got some crazy idea. And everyone wondered. And then you watched the game. You're like, oh, yeah, that did not work. That was flat. That was a flat of the pancake. So I mean, you know, clearly you got to get to us, get to the place acclimate. And because you're going to play 1130. By the way, did it look funny with the with the sunshine? Yeah. Like the early morning sunshine. I mean, for NFL game, it was like, it was like a high school game. And, you know, you're just weird. It looked weird because of the day time of day. Yeah, I have to feel out of body just to play in the game period. And listen, the Rams showed up late to London last year. The Jaguars there were there for a week.

3:10And the Rams punked the Jaguars. I guess it is different going east to west. We just said Johnny Macon in hour one. He said, I've been to Australia 40 times. I would have told you that you shouldn't do that. Is what he basically said similar to your friend as well. But at the end of the day, the Niners, regardless of whether it was rest or not, they certainly appear to have the better day, the better advantage. Right. So what did you see watching? I saw a team that we know is really susceptible to injury. And we've got to become a theme. That's all we talk about. And we've all said, if, if, if, if healthy, you've got five hall of famous on that football team. And if, if, if healthy, they could be in the mix with anybody anytime. And that's the fact. And so don't anyone who sleeps on the Niners is an idiot. Like don't. And maintaining and keeping people on the field, they're going to be in the mix. They're going to be there at the end of the year. And they're going to be, you know, there's going to be some big games right at the end of the year

4:11that they're going to be a part of. And so that's, that's the truth. And we'll just every week as a fan, you're going to have to say, did anyone get hurt? You don't know. Okay, go where we're fine for fine. No, and I thought that too. And Stribbling did go down with what looked like in Achilles. But apparently isn't, which would be good for the rookie wide receiver. But you just referred to, you know, hall of famous that are on the team. Mike Evans, if he stays healthy, right. You could see he's clearly somebody that can can get things moving on every front between the 20s. But most importantly in that red zone, if not end zone, you could see that already. Well, think of it. Kyle Shannon has proven over and over and over again to have an innovative mind and keep sharpening his saw. And if he has players, he's going to be there. And so all of a sudden, you get people who really know what they're doing, spatial relationships, outwired with special abilities,

5:13hall of fame kind of credentials. Like that's Mike. Kyle's going to, he's going to thrive. I mean, Christian McCaffey showed up from, from Carolina. Why do you pick San Francisco? Why did we get a hall of fame or just dropped in the bucket? And then what we can do with them, Kyle's going to get the most out. So you keep giving him these kinds of assets that, that stay healthy. It's going to be special. Steve Young here on the Rich Eyes and show. And, you know, let's talk about the quarterback, Brock Pertie, three touchdown passes after a terrible interception that he was tapping his chest over. And two, three different receivers on top of it as well. It's his 14th career game with three or more touchdowns, tying him with Jeff Garcia, fifth place on the all time San Francisco 49ers list. They're you and Joe at the top, 38 for Joe, 36 for you. And then I heard you in my head watching the game last night, Steve when Pertie took off for first downs and,

6:14and used his legs because that's what you've been advocating every single time you've been on the show. Yeah, it's the, it's the game today. There's too many free yards. And Matthew Stafford is, is, is associated of pass or he can get away with it. But no one else can. You have to be on, you have to be able to go get those yards. And I've encouraged, you know, Brock, I liked how when you break into the league, focus on the sophisticated pocket passing because that's where it, that's where you have to do it. I mean, no matter how much movement you have, Josh Allen, Patrick, my home's Lamar Jackson, doesn't matter who it is. You have to master that or you can't get to the Super Bowl. So I appreciate Brock spending the time there. But now it's like trying to expand and use those legs in unique ways. And the more, it's like, no, I'm not telling them, run more, run, I'm just saying you have to be able to do that. And, and, and he's showing that. And that's really cool. So how sustainable is what we just see, saw from the Niners in your estimation?

7:14If, if, if, right, just, if everybody, I mean, you know, Mike, Mike's got to stay healthy, you know, Trent's got to stay healthy. Correct. Sure. Like everybody's got to stay healthy. And then let others get healthier, right? Because Nick Boehm says, coming off surgery, George Kiddell, it's always the second year back from a kill these tears when you find to get back healthy. That's when you're in your 20s. So expecting George to be elite George right now is like, that's not fair. And so like, as people, as the season goes on, and we stay healthy and healthy and healthier, we're going to, people are going to, they're not going to, the music's going to be pumping out of the box. Boombox says they come out of the tunnel like 2023. And that's when things were, that's when they were really tough. And then as for the Rams, Steve, is this something you could just chalk up to the bad idea of coming, showing up late that they looked flat and jet lagged because of that? Or there really is something in this copycat league that other teams can look at the film and say,

8:19the Niners did this. We can do that against the team that was a prohibitive. Super Bowl favorite. The fight in the NFL is for parity. You have to push the rock up the hill constantly and daily to work against parity. And the teams that have done other pages for 20 years, the Chiefs have done him for almost eight or nine. You know, it's like it's hard. The bills, like it's hard. And so every year more and more, they throw teams together and let's go see how it goes. September is the preseason. Don't get too overwrought. You just don't want to be worse than two and two coming out of September. Like the way the league is today, these games will look back at these games and they're almost look. I'm going to say meaningless, but that's just it's conflating again. But it's not meaningless, but it's also are this, is there is there's a little smoke come out of this? Is it fire? Is it just a little smoke? And so it's like, I'm not, the Rams are fine. But as you throw teams together and the dynamics work in the locker room a little bit differently.

9:21And everything else kind of changes is there's something and then also, you know, football is that kind of weird emotional game where all summer they've talked, they've read about how great they are. Well, they haven't played a game, but you're great and they get annoyed and sometimes it gets into your head and then you don't, you don't work as hard. You're not as focused. You're not as gritty as you were last year. And so that part needs to get tested as well. So I would, I'm not overreacting anything about the Rams game, but the way the league is today, you have to be a little wary that, you know, that the new season is a truly new season, unlike 15 years ago for teams and you got to, you got to be aware because maybe they're a team that got aged and didn't get to stay healthy and then all of a sudden they're in the middle of pack. So let's just say it's more, the NFC is a bit more wide open than, than thought over the last few weeks. Well, yeah, but I mean, again, all the talks been from April to July. Yes, sir. Cares, I mean, it just doesn't, it's all theory, right? It's like, doesn't like, you're saying expectations from July are not being met.

10:28Well, okay, that's fine. But yes, it is more wide open. And but yet, I like, I would not take September as the preseason, let people get their legs under and let them start to stretch out and find out who they really are. What is Miles going to do? He's not going to make no tackles and no sacks for the rest of the year. So like, let it play out a little bit, hang tough for September. I've always said that for, since the rule changes, chill for September, but don't go worse than two and two and then we'll see how we go. All right. Well, I mean, the Patriots just lost AJ Brown for at least a month. He's now on injured reserve that happened just as we were zooming on to each other here, Steve. And what do you make of Drake May's performance on Wednesday night? Drake, I feel like Drake to the upside, right? It's like, he does a lot of stuff. There's some big, plazy makes and like, I really, you got to say a lot of cool things. And then the last play of the game, you're like, no, that can't happen in eighth grade.

11:34Like the game's going to, you know, you're set for the field, go to tie. You can't, that's just, that tells me that there's a place yet in his game where there's a blank space that doesn't, it's not filled yet. And look, the young players a lot of that. So I'm not shocked, but it just, it just reminds you that because as you play, there's no way that an experienced player gets in that spot, gets rushed, loses his visibility, moves to his throwing hand side and just pops up a lollipop like to end the game. Like, it just can't happen. It doesn't happen. And so in that way, the Drake May project, I think, is a really cool project that's, I feel like it's going to be really good project, but that just reminds you that there's work to be done because that just cannot happen. So which quarterback that's got a new head coach or coordinator and that's a large subset of people, but you've got Lamar in Baltimore, you've got Herbert out here across the street

12:42for the chargers. You've got Jalen Hertz in Philadelphia, you've got technically Jackson Dart as well. Josh Allen's got a new head coach, but it's his coordinator. Which, which quarterback are you, there's Jaden Dendler? This Kalimari, and Minnesota, which one intrigues you the most that you can't wait to see week one? I said Kalimari, because Kalimari, I talked to Kevin O'Connell, we played golf together this summer, I'm like, Kevin, you think you're going to lock this? You're like, I don't know, I'm going to really work at it. You know, it's like, I think Kalimari can get on. So I'm intrigued by the project of Kalimari getting somewhere like that with Kevin and see how it goes. I think Justin Herbert is the one. I like Mike. I love Mike. I blink. He can bring incredible help to Jim and the offensive mindset and how like, I've been frustrated. Even you and I've talked about it, frustrated with unlocking Justin's true ability and giving him the opportunities,

13:45giving the players and the scheme to go be great. He's probably been great, but I mean, to be the best. And I think he can be the best. And I'm super excited about what could happen this year with Justin and Mike McDaniel and how they will, if given the opportunity and the freedom, the two of them can commune in a way that's going to be, you know, otherworldly either. I just, I think they're both, both of them can bring that kind of potential to the charges and the charges. I'm not had that for a while. No, I know. I'm sure you've known McDaniel since he was the run game coordinator for Shanahan and San Francisco, but why? Because he's because, look, if you look at the tree out of the OGs, right? And Sean McVeigh, Kyle Shanahan, Sean Peyton and Andy Reed, the people that have come out of there are now filtered all over the league. And there's some guys that have, they've seen it. So that's why they've been given the toolkit. They've given it freely in the spirit of Bill Wallace. They've been given it freely. And the people that have innovative

14:48minds and really kind of unique ways to attack. They're given the foundation to go be great and then they can go do it. And I thought, in Miami, I felt that. Did you, did it work out perfectly? No, it did. But as far as innovative minds into this offensive schemes that you see today and the way that they want to attack, like, I want to go play for Mike McDaniel. I'd want to play, I want him to call the plays. I want him to put in the system. I would be in that top tier of guys to do that. And so that's why I'm excited. So can we throw Rogers and McCarthy in together as a quarterback that's got a new offensive coordinator and head coach? They could throw it in there. I just, you know, I, I, Mike is, you know, if they could get into the 2026 version of it all, I think it would be great. I just don't want to see the 2015 version of it. And so that's going to be an innovative, I want to see the innovation. I'll watch for that too. Because look, I love they've had a lot of success together. And, but the 2020 2015 version won't, it used to be that you could

15:53do the same stuff. Not anymore. It changes almost not week to week, but quarter to quarter as far as the, you know, the month to month will say. And you got to keep sharpening your saw. And so if you want to run plays like the Cowboys have for the last 15 years, the old play, like they're not going to work. You've got to get in and watch what those four guys I just talked about. And you read in the Tushans and Kyle, watch what they're doing, watch what they continue to innovate to do. And then you've got to copy it or else you're going to get, you're not going to beat them doing something else. It's just not going to happen. You might be able to defend your way through it, but offensively, there's no one else out there that's doing something that's going to beat them. And so you got to join them and then get better at what they're doing. And, and that's what you see what Kevin's trying to do and the floors are trying to do what Mike tried to do in Miami, what really all over the leagues trying to do. And I think that there's certain guys that can really can really do it. You want to take your swing on the mic? My, my, my, my, is not like to me is not proven that that's what he wants to do. You want to take your swing at Sean Payton and Andy

16:55Reed Monday night? What do you think? You got the homes come back from an e injury? These are the games. It's like when shot, let's like yesterday. That's why I was so disappointed with yesterday last night's game because when Sean McVeigh and Kyle get together, it's usually you see stuff that's just so cool and so they just empty the tank on each other. And it was like, I don't know, it's first game or whether it was how far away it was. It just, that didn't happen. But when you see any of these four go against each other, they, they, they feel like that's the moment to really show all of the stuff that they're really thinking about. And that's why it's going to be fine. I think that, that game, the chiefs and Broncos to me is that same kind of game that I hope to see really cool stuff that maybe not he has been seen before done in a different way and, and, and kind of innovation that I think rules the league to the innovators are ruling the league. It's not the conservative guys that are winning it anymore. Well, before I let you go, I know this is kind of a sports talk radio question, but you did say earlier, the Niners and your estimation have five

17:57hall of famers on them on that right now. Can I guess who you're referring to right now? This is fine because I got, how could you not, like, it's go for it. It's, okay, your IC are saying, go ahead. But I was thinking, I'm Georgia Nick and Trent and Christian and, and maybe George, that's what I got. So I got Kettle, right? Bosa, right? You're going Nick Bosa? Okay. Fred Warner without question, right? And without question, you've got Trent Williams, who by the way, I mean, and we can probably he's in the argument for the best football player that ever played. Really? You have to, you can't nobody, like there are tackles, you know, Anthony Munoz is like this, right? It's like they played the game and nobody bothered him. Nobody, no matter who he plays from 15 years, nobody bothers him. I mean, like there's certain corners that maybe you can say that about, like there's certain positions, but that dude had, and again, two hall of famers,

19:00Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams show up to the 49ers early 20s and like, hey, do you want to want to play? Like, it's pretty great that you showed up. And that dude, um, he's 38, 39. I think he's one of the rare guys. Quarterbacks have proven that the game today is safer and easier, not easier, but better for quarterbacks than they can play longer. Tom proved it, Aaron's proving it, Matthew's proving I get that. So that the longevity of quarterbacks has been proven. There's no other position really in football that has been able to take advantage of what the quarterbacks in middle do and say, now at 35, you can be a great running back or that you can be, you know, I mean, like it just, that does not happen in other positions, but Trent is showing these such a unique, human, speed specimen that he might be able to play 43. Top level tackle if he wants to. Evans and McCaffrey, so that's six.

20:02You know, I said, Trent Evans, but McCaffrey is a hall of famer, right, Steve? You're 100% right 100% Mike, those three on offense are 100% Fred, I think is 100% and Nick is close. Right. I hear you. Yeah, he's had some injury history, obviously, but yeah, and, and all right, then screw it. First ballot, Trent's first ballot, right? Yep. Okay, Fred on that track. I think by the time he's done, right? Okay, because first ballot, Christian, right? I mean, yes, but Evans could be a first ballot receiver, which is one of the toughest things to be. It's very rare. And that's why, if, if, everybody can stay healthy with Kyle doing his thing, they'll run through the rest of the league pretty, if they stay healthy, pretty well. And now it's just going to be those games against Seattle, another game against the Rams against the Eagles at the end of the season, maybe the pack, like maybe some, someone shows up at the end of the season, there's going to be a playoff game or two.

21:07And that's where it all happens. And, you know, we could probably just jet ahead to January and see what we see where we are. Jetta head to January. I don't want to do that. Look at me. Look at me. It's after one game. Let's go. Cop in the Delorean Steve. Yeah, I can just go home and, no, that means we, we, we won't see for more football, which I'm psyched to see. It's great to see you too. Thanks, Steve. Appreciate it. You should be with you, buddy. Right back at you. That's pro football Hall of Famers. Steve Young right here on the Rich Eisen show.

I've got a great, by the way, did you know on Mike Evans? Oh, I love did

22:10you want you want to just do this before we'll go to break? Sure. Okay. Here we go. My Kevin's has now just in in backing up what Steve just said first ball at Hall of Fame type numbers. He's now got 109 career touchdown receptions. And of those a one have been caught in the end zone with 46 of them coming on goal to go plays. Both of those marks are the most of any player this century. Great stat. Did you know that's awesome. I know he's a bad man, but he's a bad man. He stays healthy. Bad man. The Niners now have that in their offense. So I dropped him in my mainly. Okay. Let's take a break. That was so much fun with Steve Young back on the Rich Eisen show in a flash. The Rich Eisen show podcast. 4 4 20 4 rich number of dollars. We're going to take a call, which we're going to do in a second, but there is breaking news. Yeah. Out of the national football league. And go ahead and hit it.

23:17Hit it. Here it comes. I see breaking news. Christopher. What do you have over there? Yeah, news from the ATL guys. Two of us talk about has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh with an oblique injury. Cooper rush. Cooper will start rush time in Pittsburgh, PA. Did you see the two of video when he went down? Well, he grabbed his lower back. Yeah. And then he just sat down on the ground, which is what happens when you have a back spasm. I've done it. You've done it. Jason Feller. Have you ever done that before? You did it five minutes ago, most likely with your back. How many backs are, Jerry's? Three. Well, let's not wish that into existence. Nobody. We've all so panics can't answer the bell because he's coming back from his knee and two of can't answer the back bell because of his back. And so it's Cooper rush time, everybody. Yep. Cooper rush time and that other rush that you're hearing is people running to potentially change their survivor pool pick. But I will counsel against that because this is a

24:22died in the wool professional backup quarterback, who is on this team just in case this happens and sure enough in this crazy as national football league where you have to have incredible depth in your quarterback position, low and behold, who is starting the first third string starter for the national football league, 2026 campaign is happening right off the bat. We want I wonder the last time that happened that a third string starter started week one. I'm also wondering, you know, the last time that we saw two quarterbacks go down like this. And I'm also wondering, who the last time we who is the who's the backup is Matt Ryan going to be the jack strand played ball in the preseason. Jack strand sounds it's Jack strand sounds like, you know, the guy Doug digler said told him it's time to shoot the scene. You know what I mean?

25:22I'm gonna say it sounds like it's time to shoot the scene. Jack strand or or wait a minute. See cop drop. Yeah. Jack strand Sunday night on Jack strand. Well, actually he worked. Let's let's game this out. Jack strand sounds like the a cop named Jack who works the strand right down here in the Manhattan Beach in Manhattan Beach. Yeah, yeah, played by Paul Rudd. Yeah. Should we pitch it to Paul? Yeah, Jack strand. Paul Rudd is Jack strand. No, I ask him if he wants to be that guy. He's a little busy, you know, he's got adventures and games. It's not going on. No, adventure. What is it? What is called? The new doomsday? doomsday pardon me. I'm game happened and game has happened. Which by the way wasn't really an end game if there's a doomsday, right? No, I don't know. Which means there probably isn't a doomsday. I don't know. Okay. Doomsday. There'll be another end game. It doesn't stop. Yeah. It doesn't. Same thing with the Atlanta Falcons quarter. It's like this, the spinal tap drummer keep making these pop culture references. My goodness gracious.

26:24All right. Oh, good. And, and hey, Pittsburgh's the other fans. You got to be feeling good. You know, amidst all the talk of Antarctica and Atlantis and. And, and, and, and Rogers personal life. I texted cam Award last night. I'm like, man, your quarterback gave you content. Hopefully they, they have as many points as content points from that pod. Even a, um, but long story short, it's like this is, um, a whole opener for them against a team that's starting their third string quarterback. And then they take on the New England Patriots next week in New England without a J Brown there coming off a game in which everybody in New England is going to be frothy. If the first quarter doesn't go their way, they could take that crowd out week two. Let's look at the stealer schedule. And then week three.

27:25Oh, baby, home for Cincinnati, a Thursday night or at Cleveland. I mean, talk about a frothy crowd there. See where it's could be in Cleveland home for Indian apples. I have an O T J. I mean, and then they're at Tampa, which is no joke. New Orleans in Paris and then Cleveland again before a buy. I can be eight. No. Hey, man. They're first eight. No, stop it. But there, there is, um, there's a path to starting well. It's a Friday. So it's time for what's more likely here on the Rich Eyes and show the first in season edition of what's more likely. Go ahead and hit it, please. What? What's more likely? Never say never, but never. What's more likely the first 2026 in season version of it presented by Pella windows and doors. Chris, you have the floor. Ah, this is fun guys. We made it. It's season. We won. We fell in great to see. Here we go.

28:25It's more likely Super Bowl contender who should be most worried after their opening loss. Rams or Patriots. Patriots. Donald's coming back. AJ Brown's on the IR for four weeks. Went to the Super Bowl without AJ Brown. I know that Chris. I just want to keep pointing out because everyone's like, oh, AJ Brown. Didn't have last year. Yeah, I had K. Sean. Booty. Didn't he? He's not there anymore. He's not walking through. Booty's not walking through that door. That's a bummer. I like him. Okay. I'm the neat one. I didn't say what was in my head. I'll tell you in the commercial break. What? What my filter call Rodger going through the joke. Yeah. Absolutely. The Patriots. Dude. Get out of here. The Patriots had a lead in the fourth quarter. I know. The one team flew all the way out to Australia on what appears to be a failed experiment. Last minute. They flew out. And one guy who won the MVP, he didn't have a good game. The other one who'd barely lost the MVP through three in receptions.

29:29And showed again that there is, as Steve Young pointed out, a blank space in his game he's trying to fill. And one way to help him fill it is on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain for a month. So yeah, man. I'll take the Patriots having a team that should worry more than the Rams. What else you got? Last year, week one, we had a giant WTF game. Raiders go to New England and win. What's more likely to be this year's week one WTF game. Browns, Jacksonville or Cardinals, Chargers. Wow. Can I give you a third? Sure. I don't think either one or option. I find it hard to believe that Dishon Watson just finds the 2019 fountain. That's what we said about you know, Smith. No, dude, I get it. But that was also, you know, Raibles first game as a head coach there in New England. I'm just not going to go there.

30:30And I just don't know if the card, I guess if I had to choose of these, it would be Cardinals Chargers. Because we have no, we have no idea. We have no earthly idea what the Cardinals are going to be like. No, I think they're going to be fun. But if I had to give you another option, New Orleans, it Detroit would be one of them. And that, that one kind of jumps off the screen at me there as a possibility. I'm looking down here with the Jets beating Tennessee suffice. Probably not. How about Washington beating Philadelphia? That would be a shocker. What else you got over there, Chris? How about this one? Running back, more likely to threaten 150 rushing yards on Sunday. That'd be a big total dare canry or Jonathan Taylor. I'll I'll go Derek Henry Ravens Colts on. I'll go Derek Henry. He has 16 career games in Indianapolis. And which is used to be a full seasons of work.

31:32It's close to 1400 career yards in Indianapolis. I think the Ravens defense will be vastly improved. So I'll go Derek Henry over Jonathan Taylor. What else? Best game of the weekend, most likely. Who's more likely to be crowned AFC front runner on Monday morning? Bills or Texans? Oh. I'll go neither. I'll go by Monday morning. Yeah, Monday morning. Oh, you're leaving the Broncos out of this mixed potential. Yeah, Monday morning. We're going to say, hey, they're the AFC front runner. Bills or Texans? Um, I'll go Texans. I'll go Texans. Interesting. Or I'll, you know what, I should be thinking more nationally what people are saying, you know, the bills are always going to be talked about as a front runner. The Texans could could beat the bills and still we're going to be talking about.

32:32Can't wait to see what about Monday night football looks like. Don't forget the Texans, no matter how good they are, will always be the first wild card weekend game of weekend. If they're playing on wild card weekend. Second, it could be a shootout in Carolina. Second year, wide receiver to have more yards and touchdowns. Luther Burton or T Mac, Technic Millen. I'll go tech millen. I'll go tech. By the way, Luther Burton, I mean, he had a really nice season last year, right? Yeah. And really came on right. He came on strong in the end. But I mean, the number of times what is he? Wide receiver can and fantasy leagues and stuff like that. I mean, don't you have to see it first? We saw it. Okay. And the year Roman Dune's they also may not play. Got it. I'll go tech. What else adopted eyes and sun to have the longest touchdown pass on Sunday. Baker may feel that Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow is an adopted son of mine. I think so.

33:32I love, I love Joe Burrow. I do. Oh, I'll go Joe Burrow. I'll go Joe Burrow in this game. But the longest touchdown pass? Longest touchdown pass. Sure. Sure. This should be a following. I mean, I do love that Baker was on last week. He goes, Godwin looks great. And then he's got all of these kids. Hurst, right? Yeah. But, uh, Jalen Mcmillan. Right. He's got his own Mcmillan. He's got his own Mcmillan. Right. You know, so. I. Yeah. Um, I'll go burrow. Okay. Because burrow to chase or Higgins is probably more of a. Wouldn't you say a Buka or Godwin would be catching run? As opposed to like just air it out. Yeah, just airing it out. 50 50 ball. One of them snatches it down. Go. It's going to be a really fun game. Okay. Uh, I hear it now. Hey, I'm running back to have more total yards. Jeremiah Love or Omari and Hampton. I'll go Hampton. If Daniel Jeremiah is coming on the show and saying he could win the rushing title, I'll go Hampton. I'm including receiving in there.

34:32And plus, you know what? Love's not even first on the death track. Well, that's preposterous. I don't know. Does that mean he's not over his, uh, week one preseason ankle sprain? I've seen everything say that it's trending. Okay. Playing. And plus rookie running backs, man. You never know. Like we're going to work them in. He got 14 carries in the press. I know. You know, I think he got worked in. He got worked. All right. I'll go Hampton. What else? All right. A couple more quarter back guys will say his most back after Sunday. He's back. Jacobi percent. Kyler Murray or Jaden Daniels. Oh. Great one. Chris. I'll go Kyler. Kyler's home. Jaden's in Philadelphia. Oh, my goodness. That is a cauldron. That is a cauldron. There's a lot of good week one. Kyler's at home. Against GreenVex. Yeah. A lot of good week one. What else? More like would it be the higher number, uh, this for you, TJ?

35:32Correct. Times that NBC shows the Odell catch. Or combined neighbors, pickins touchdowns. Oh, I'll go combine neighbors, pickins, touchdowns because if Odell doesn't make, doesn't catch up all. Which is, who knows possible? I don't know. I'll show it in the pregame, right? That's one. Well, I mean, we're talking pregame or in game. I don't know. I made it. I got to talk in game. Pregame we're, listen, man. You did the pregame. You were on game name morning for a bit. I've been on it for a long time. Sometimes, you know, you got, you got time to fill. I thought you could be, uh, I think how about this? Number of times they show Odell's catch. And neighbors and pickins it. So this total combined is less than the number of times we see Jerry Jones. That's funny. So lots to look forward to for Sunday night football. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. What do we need one more? Oh my God. Okay. All right. We'll get one last one, guys. Ram star most thinking about retirement.

36:34Oh, stop it. Aaron Donald or Matthew Stafford. For a season ticket holder, how dare you? How dare you? You were saying that, by the way, you said that in the text chain last night in the guillotine league and that Donald's thinking of it staying retired. That's absurd. New phone. Who does? Yeah. Guys. Well, that's good. Good one. Good one. Nice. Nice button. You call that a button. Good to Ram's. I'll be there. You guys. What's more likely is brought to you by Pella Windows and doors.

Eight for four, two, four, rich number to dial here on the program. Okay. Phone calls. Let's go to a Turso and Iowa.

37:34All right. What's up, Turso? Congrats. That's a good got it done. Bang, bang down under 90. I was a heck of a game. I really was excited to see that defense. I know I've been talking to you guys all off season about how I wanted to see that aspect of our team improved and having both in the water back. You could just see how much faster they were able to play. And that defense looked absolutely phenomenal yesterday. Listen, you got to be psyched because we were all getting set to anoint. And instead the Niners crowned. That's it. They crowned them. And they crushed them and they they they were the better team. They had the better plan coming into the game. They had a better plan going to the game and they have the better record leaving the game. And there's no other way to put it. And I just don't know if what they did is something that shows an Achilles heel that will keep the Rams from going.

38:39And they'll keep the Rams from playing in their stadium in the last game of the year or even getting close to it. I don't know, but you got to feel good about it. No, I feel great about it. That offense looked fantastic. Kevin Black be able to come in and relieve McCaffrey. I know as a fantasy owner of McCaffrey as well too. I don't like necessarily seeing it, but just the change of pace really did improve that run offense. And as long as we can keep McCaffrey healthy just like the rest of our players, it's going to make a huge difference going down the stretch. But this Rams team, let's be honest. I think that they just showed up. That the wrong time. I have to feel they looked a little tired. And I don't think that this is anything that is going to change what the Rams do the season. I think they're still going to be right there with us. But pretty looked amazing in the pocket. It's with this was a heck of a team win. Now we just got to move on to Miami.

39:39And hopefully when we come back, we're able to shake off that jet lag and jet lag in 10 days and enjoy maybe a two and a star. Tereson, thanks for the call. It's Tereson and I all right. Appreciate you guys. Let's just real quick about Christian McCaffrey. I know Kurt Cooper has him in fantasy and was going nuts when. When they're rookie running back was totem of all quite a bit like he was winning an national championship game for Indiana. He was good. McCaffrey's 30. And let's. Let's if you can come up with wins like that. Three touchdown passes. None of them are to him. And. You don't have to rely on him. You don't have to give him 30 40 touches. It's crazy stuff like that. That's a win for them. Got to play the long game here. I understand. You know, Kyle isn't care about your fantasy team. And they also had the better idea of going to the game in advance.

40:41They actually got to hang in the country. Not like that's what you do for in the NFL. It's cool that I get it. No, but it might help for team bonding and things like that. I don't know. And because they got a chance to spend some time in the country, they got to learn the lingo a little bit the hard way. The phrase, calling something cracker in in Australia is meaning it something's excellent. Amazing. Terrific. And McCaffrey got his haircut in Australia and had this very funny sound bite. About learning the lingo. I was getting a haircut. I was getting a haircut today a few days ago. And one of the barbers looks at me and goes, looks cracker. I was like, sorry, what did you say? I don't know what it meant. I guess that means it looks good. But that was funny. He said it again. I hear that every Sunday. That's what's it all about. And so that was good. We had a good moment.

41:41But I enjoy all the all the slang. Yep. Here's every Sunday on the field how he's looking cracker. Pretty funny. Teacher, your thoughts? I just don't know sometimes if I'm allowed to say stuff. What do you mean you're allowed to say stuff? What are you talking about? You're a hero with a lot. I'm just going to let it slide. Well, Dibo is laughing his ass off. Yeah, but he does hear that every Sunday. Yeah, I bet. Look, I was worried about McCaffrey too. As an owner on the two yard line and they throw it like, come on. He didn't leave the nighters and targets. So that's encouraging. Running a small business means every hire matters. A bad hire costs time and money.
