Brian Murphy and Marcus the Water Boy Boucher streaming live at twitch.tv slash the sports leader. Well, it said Tuesday after a

holiday weekend we got about 10 million things to get to what a freaking weekend. But I said to throw the South. I just start the day by saying this. The Rams haven't left for Australia yet. How frickin weird is that? They're leaving tonight theoretically. But they have a little carburetor issue or something. I don't know if the break pads don't work. They got to stay anyway, the Rams haven't even left. I've been back to the East Coast and back again since the Rams and anyway, Rams. Why would he get out there? Yeah. I want to get out there. There's a game on Thursday 49ers Rams. Obviously hugely dominating our mind. But so is a gigantic labor day weekend with tails a bound. From Marcus and me and Walton John Curley and everybody and my man happy post labor. We can happy four day work week and happy NFL. Let's go. We're going to talk about that. We got to talk about getting kicked off a fantasy drafts 30,000 feet away. Oh, man. And we got to talk about the fact that the last time I saw you was in Berkeley, California. Yes, it was.

And well, you're welcome. Yeah. Thanks, bro. That was good. Sorry to run Rivera and in all you cow fans. Sorry. Hmm. That's what we do. I guess what we do under Bob Chesney is what we do. Cause I mean, you see I was been bad for so long. That was an entirely different UCLA team. I mean, wow. Coaches matter. Yes, they do. Coaches matter. Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah. What's up, brother? Long time no see. It has been damn near a week. And yes, I was on the site of the scene on Saturday at a California Memorial Stadium. Great crowd. Great atmosphere. But to the spoils go the victor. Congratulations on your first one of the season kicking off the the new era. So watch it on the East Coast, buddy. That thing ended at ready for it. Oh, two two six. Oh, two two six. I mean, truly got some pack 12 after dark. Well, this for the whole East Coast concept of games, even games that don't end that late. Like even like, like LSU

Clemson, even that was like really late. And then of course, last night, SMU and Florida state were delayed by an hour and a half because of a power outage. And so it's like, I just got to tell you guys, we got it way better out here. We got a way better out here. These late kicks are brutal. So enjoy the Pacific time zone and the splendors of of all that California, the Pacific Ocean has to offer. So anyway, that was one part of the weekend. I left you on Wednesday, you and JD did a couple shows. And the 49ers continue to just take over Melbourne. Or as we're now learning, Mel Ben, Mel Ben, you can't say the more kind of like just last year when the blue jays were taken on the Dodgers and the World Series. And everybody said, don't say Toronto. It's Toronto, Toronto. So it's Melbourne. And yeah, they officially landed. I think we did the entire show Thursday talking about their flight to Australia. By the time they finally landed Friday morning, they had landed down in Australia and gave us plenty of sound to talk about. The 49ers hit up in Ozzy rules football game. Meanwhile, here's Sean McVeigh in the air McDonald hanging out the pink pony club.

And what's all the, seriously, and you know, it's crazy. He's like, we've been sort of joking about like, I mean, like it's like the first trip ever to Australia. Oh, what are you going to do? Oh, I got you going to Australia. Have you consulted with the government? Have you consulted with aliens? Have you consulted with the galaxy? You know, how do you get to Australia? I'm like, you know, place by the Australia every day. Yeah, you know, this is like, yeah, that's a long trip. I get it. But I felt like we were kind of overblown the whole thing. And then it made me laugh even further when I was reading one of the big long, you know, how are the 49ers going to handle this? How are they going to sleep? What are they going to eat? How do they breathe? How do they exist? How can this happen? And they're like, they consulted Stanford, which played rice there in 2017. That was left. I was like, we've Stanford played rice in Australia in 2017. And do nobody said a word about it now. Honestly, like that's breaking news to me. I thought the rate is the 49ers like breaking ground. No, the first ever American football game, even prior to that, Mike Shanahan's Denver Broncos went to Sydney to play the chargers in a preseason game in 99.

Wow. So by his preseason, so really nobody truly, nobody care. No, so I bet they might have even left some starters home. No, but I'm sure Kyle hit up his pops about some of the strategy fly in there in 1999. Well, I'm laughing, wait a minute, Stanford and Rice went there only nine years ago and like nobody said or yeah, just go down there and play. Come on back. We don't care. I mean, with 49ers, what are we going to do? We're going to Australia. Anyway, so they're there and they're taken over. That was my last jog bug for last week was, hey, you know, John Lynch's theme, the time for complaining, complaining is done. And that's so far gone now. Like they are now, they are now Australia's team. Yeah, even though Kyle Shanahan is still kind of complaining about the time, which more so the confusion between him and his family back home was pretty funny here and I'm over the weekend saying, you know, we're in the future right now. The Rams are still back in the States. So I'm not going to, I'm not going to release any injury reports because technically I don't have to release until tomorrow, even though it's today. That's pretty nifty by him. He got out of having to give it injury. Of course, technically he was correct. I think he was because he's like, yeah,

even though it's a Tuesday here and you know, it's a Monday at home. And I don't have to give injuries on Monday at home. So he's that. So he buried it. So the Rams had to go another 24 hours without hearing that said Rahim Morris. And I believe was it was it Clint Kubiak who, wait, wait, I'm sorry. That wait, I always give you you have Clinter. Yes. Clay is on the 49ers. Okay. He is. Clint is coaching the Raiders. Yes. So I got to think Clint Eastwood is a raider. Clay Thompson is a 49. You got to think about Clay in the Bay. That's all I like to remind myself. You got Clay in the Bay. That's Clay Kubiak. Not Clay Thompson. Clay Kubiak said that both Rahim Morris and Clay Kubiak did press within the last few hours. I lose track of when they did their press conferences. And you hear what they said Nick Bosa playing in the game here comes both the George Kittle all but certain to play in the game. So what did we do for the entire month of August, Marcus, the entire month of August. And I mean, the entire month of August, all we talked about is,

oh, what's going on with Bosa? What's going on? Kid, what's going on? Bosa was going to turn out. They're going to play. Yeah. I'd even take it to the next level, even beyond those two guys. Mike Geven spoke to the media too and said all the injuries that he's been dealing with throughout training camp. We're all just like the 49ers being extra cautious. None of those injuries would have held them out of actual games. So it sounds like Mike Evans is on track to play week one. Also August was like a prison sentence for sports media. Like we just had to like serve our time. We said to do time. We had to like mark, you know, in prison, when you're in prison, you mark like a thing on the wall. We said to mark off days until September 10th, because we were just in prison. Like what's going to happen to Mike Evans? Well, well, we probably knew in our guts that they were going to play, because this is what old guys do. Like as the NFL has evolved through the decades, we've learned that the preseason is meaningless, right? So it's not matter. So where it used to be like, as I've told you guys, this used to play six preseason games. Dude, I lived through that. Six preseason. And, you know, they used to go out there and get their brains beat in. And then finally, somebody built a better mouse trap and said, wait a minute,

you don't have to do this, dude. And in fact, particularly if you're a little older and you have a little bit of a tweak, why don't you just show up September 10th? And we had to do we had to serve our prison sentence in August of sports media, talking about this. And in the end, they're all going to play. Yeah. Essentially everybody's playing now. Why you were gone with dig get the news at Sammy O, Samo Kowano did not get on the plane, found out some details throughout the weekend from Kyle Shannon and that somebody stepped on his foot. That's broken. So he's going to be up for a while. Sammy O, not done in Australia, but outside of that, the injury port and the practice port looks pretty damn clean right now for the 40 minutes. I can get my first laugh check of the post-labor day weekend here. Uh, I said, it's not, it's not terrible news that Samo Kowano's hurt because they're so deep on D line. Thank you very much. By the way, I say the first Tuesday after Labor Day, which my entire generation and every preceding generation knew as the first day of school, can you believe that it now seems so late? Because the kids go back so early now, but there was a time in this nation. In fact, my entire schooling career, this was the first day of school.

Yeah. And you know what? It was a better time. It was. Kids should not be in school in the middle of August. Should not be in school in the middle of August. So anyway, lots to get to at the 49ers and the Rams. And I had a great weekend out in Annapolis. Shut down Annapolis Labor Day weekend. My God. Dude, there we were. Marcus on a schooner in the Chesapeake Bay. Took a little family cruise on yesterday. We had time to kill you know that our plane didn't leave. We get this late flight from Baltimore United to get into pretty late. So your boys playing a little hurt today. But we're like, hey, let's go on a. What are you doing Baltimore? Besides deep crabs and watching AV sports is you go on the bay. You go up on the water. You got to get on a schooner on a schooner. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't think I've ever been on a schooner. Yeah. I guess it's like what technically is a schooner? It's a schooner. Okay. A schooner off to look it up. SCH O O N E R Schooner Schooner Boomer. Fun word. All right. Yeah. Gorgeous frickin' weather. You know, I was there in August, dude. Brutal. Frickin' brutal. They heat in humidity. That's what I told them. I told Duckey and I said, forget pleapsome.

I don't care how many pushups you did, how many planks you did. I can give you a reward for getting through this heat in humidity. And then back east, what happens is come September. It just changes. You wake up one morning and it just changes. And it's like, oh, the leaf starts to fall and the light changes a little bit. And then it's so that was gorgeous weekend there. And the Navy football to huge win. And Declan made his NC 2A debut, which for this old dad was an out of body experience. That's awesome. And it was surreal. Just even seeing him warm up that first day. I'm like, wait, is this happened? And the very first guy, you know, like, is he going to play in the game against this random? Do you know Mount St. Mary's? They'll make a tournament every now and then as a 16. Mount St. Mary's? Yeah, yeah. I don't know. St. Mary's was on a mountain. Now we have our St. Mary's Gills here. They do their own course. And they just launched their Water Pull program too, by the way. And thank God their first program went to. Congratulations to them. But anyway, he got in the water against the very first time. And we're like, oh my god, he's in the game. And in Water Pull, they blow the whistle when you commit a foul. And then they point and they say your number, if you get kicked out, which is like a and so I can water pull.

You try to create a power play like hockey. It's hard to score when you're even strength, but you can score when you have a power play. Okay. And you draw, you get a power play by making your opponent flagrantly value, meaning like you make a move. And he has to like hammer you. And then they go, whoosh. Okay, out for 30 seconds. I've heard that before. And you go to the penalty box and you feel shame. Yeah. Go sit in the corner by yourself. So as you know, it's always a bummer. Sometimes you have to get kicked out to stop a guy from driving to the basket or whatever. I still call it the basket. It's like basketball. Anyway, he gets in for his very first action. We're like, oh my god. 25 out. Dude, he committed a flag right away. I got a flag. I got a kid. I got a kid. Kick that right away. I set the tone big D. What is it? The tone. And they immediately scored. So his career consists of 20 seconds, a kick out and the other team scored. And only go up from here, kid. Welcome to the water, kid. The rest of the weekend was awesome when he scored his first NCAA goals. Incredibly thrilling. And on we go now, now the sky's the limit. That's phenomenal. But the real question is, how did the rest of the Navy parents react to their first

Brian Murphy satellite experience? That's the real question. It's funny, man. Yeah. I'm having to balance being a plea parrot with like, you know, if you, you know, come on guys, let's go with this. Anyway, we'll see. I was on my pretty good behavior. Pretty good behavior. Awesome. And meanwhile, the baseball team kept playing games. Yeah. Three wins away from not 100 nice little walkoff last night on a beautiful Labor Day weekend. Watch the entire game on YouTube. I told you I made the switch YouTube TV. Watch the entire thing on my phone, even with sketchy Wi-Fi on an airplane. Shout out United being on time constantly. We're taking that SFO to BWI and it's been on time constantly. So double knock on wood. Thank you guys for always being on time. The only thing is airplane Wi-Fi will go out on occasion. Yeah. Like maybe right before the fifth round of the fantasy football draft. Uh oh. Which we'll have to talk about. Yes, we will. But, um, but I was able to watch on YouTube TV the entire game. But it's funny when you're, when you're, people who've done this may know, when you're flying across the country and you're watching YouTube TV, all of a sudden the screen will go black, say you are no longer in a location update.

So you have to go to settings and you hit location and it says, uh, Omaha, you click it and it says, you are now live. And I was, oh, so as long as you're over Omaha, you can, then as soon as you get out of that airspace, it's like, you've lost the game. Please up to your location. The update says Kansas City. Kansas. So I could, I just like notch market after market as I headed across the country. Damn. Salt Lake City, Denver, all the Reno. So what you were like resetting like every half an hour. Yeah, about it. Maybe 45 minutes. Okay. Yeah. So it was doable. All right. But I watched the entire game. How long was that game? I think it was because it started at five, 10 last night and did not end until damn near nine last night. Uh, three twenty nine. Yeah. And the flight from Baltimore was five twenty. So it took up all but two hours of the flight. That's a good way to get a great one. And they won, even though it looked like in this happened on Sunday, a lead late blown and a lead late Monday blown. I mean, the bullpen is just, yeah. I mean, we've been talking about it for over a hundred games. And what's, and we need to talk about Tony V. Like him sending guys out for second innings

after they've done their work. It's like, hold do it. Get up and get down. And then, and then when they're struggling not going and getting them, like Dylan Smith last night, got through the eighth. He sent it back at there for the night. He clearly didn't have the same stuff. Yeah. And then waited until the game was tied to take them out of the game. Yeah. So that was poor management. Actually, it goes poor managing Tony that they wound up salvaging it on a, on a, just for any number of reason. But you know, the hero was was Bryce Eldridge. Yeah. Bryce with a solid RBI knocked the tie things up. And the NBC broadcast with Dave Fleming, Albert Poole holes and Hunter Pence went on and on and on and on and on about him picking that short, that Christian cost short hand, that short on me. Christian cost is the Yips over there, doesn't he? Yeah. He's not the greatest throwing across the Yips. And, and Eldridge made a tough pick to preserve the 11th inning. He also speared a line drive to save Logan Webb in the sixth inning. And then he got the game time. Is it Bryce? Yeah. I mean, I know Devers is the story. Oh, yeah. He's up to what now? 35 bombs on the game. Double. Yeah. He's the first 30 30 35 35 Homer double guy since Kent and O2.

So all that's that. Yeah. So yeah, we'll have to play the wind package. Yeah, good one for the Giants. Well, we'll do that on the other side. And of course, like I said to all you Cal fans, you're welcome. Yeah, you're welcome. You're Cal. I knew you're always going to be. Hey, I actually, to tell you the truth, that Cal did a lot of really good things there. I thought they did a lot of really good things. And it was 24 24 going into the fourth quarter. Yeah. And then the swag surf incident that they're talking about. UCLA sidelines. Yes. One the swag surf. They stole all the aura in the stadium. It wasn't even close. Swag surf came on and UCLA took over the field, started dancing and they took all the vibes. They took over the atmosphere. It like, aura matters and swag surfing matters. That's the bottom line. Yeah. Yeah. The swag surf gave them all the momentum game going into the fourth quarter. Anyway, it was really fun. And oh, by the way, Michigan Wolverines, you should be ashamed yourself. Oh, what the clock. Yes. All right. One second left. No, yeah, there's not. Okay, guys, a lot of fun stuff to catch up on. The 49ers in the rest of the day.

Now back to Murfing Marcus on the sports leader streaming live on these sports leader.com at KNBR, the sports leader app. Big chopper headed into left field and going back for it. The short stop he gloves it on a hop and has no play to make and the game is over. That was a pitch that was out. It was on at the belt and he still hit it on the ground on one gigantic hop. And that is how they win this one in the 11th inning, the Giants 5 and the Cardinals 4. Yeah, we're still watching the baseball. Come on, man. You guys, you understand this now. It's September 8th. It ends September 27th. Then we got no baseball for wait for it. How long? Oh, no. Don't even start talking about the locker. Did you see the ESPN anonymous story that Jeff Passon wrote, surveying all the different players? No, I did not.

Oh, you didn't see it? No, he did try to avoid all long-darked, it was supposed to be anonymous, but he described each person said, nationally pitcher on three-year contract. And I was like, well, I can probably do the math and figure who that is. And then I was like, they're like, anonymous quote from a homestead high alum and former college pitcher. Uh-oh. Oh, wait, who's that? Yeah, he's getting his public tour on the case. He could find out. Public tour. Public tour. Public tour, not everything. Public tour, true secret. Yeah, he might be looking at the Dodgers pretty soon here. Can we get him on the Dodgers? He posted a tease of just like the photo of the owner that got caught with all that scam. Mark Ballton? Yeah, exactly. He just posted his photo and said, coming soon. No way. Are you serious? Uh-huh. That wasn't a, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I saw, and let's, I got this. This is incredible news. I count. I remember there was a time in the late 80s early, this guy, late 80s early 90s, there was an investigative reporter named Armin Katein. He's still around. He's just not doing as much kickass investigative work as he used to. There was a point where he was busting so many different people on scandals and cheating and all this stuff. I remember my buddy saying, man, if you get to work and you see while you were,

remember those little notes while you were gone? There's a little pink slip. While you were gone, Armin Katein called. He's like, bro, head the other way. Bro, do not return that call. Uh-huh. This is no one, dude. While you were gone, Pablo Torrey called. Yeah, let's see the hilarious now that Pablo Torrey has a podcast called Pablo Torrey finds out. And he's like getting a lot of these people to come onto his actual podcast and like confess some of their sins. I mean, if you get that podcast invite, you cannot go on that podcast. If cumulus, uh, maybe we should turn Pablo Torrey loose on cumulus. He's doing that. Yeah, let's get after John Joe Kurt. Anything could happen there. So anyway, yeah, we're so anyway, September, anyway, in that story to circle back to the original point, one of the, one of the questions they asked the anonymous players was, how long will this lockout go? If dude, one of the guys, it was like 13 year veteran center fielder for the angels or whatever. I'm just joking. I don't know who it was, but it said, uh, the guy goes probably till June or July, June or July. That's what one of the guys I got to wait till my birthday next year to get baseball back in my life. Will you triple?

Yeah, did I mark counting down the days? What are we going to get first? My 34th birthday or baseball next season? Uh, yeah, dude. I mean, it could be wrong, obviously, but it was just to see it was bone chilling. Yeah. To see that was bone. Yeah. So what you're saying is enjoy the game more. Get out to the ballpark. Well, second, second smallest crowd to be your last night. Yeah. And I was a little surprised by the overall size of the crowd on a Labor Day weekend, five o'clock star, beautiful weather at the park. So I'm watching it on that YouTube fine from Baltimore to San Francisco. And Dave Fleming's going on and on. Is there what a night in San Francisco? It was one of those rare nights where you can wear a t-shirt to a night game at the ballpark. Well, this is September, bro. 89 was my first, uh, real, uh, playoff experience. I got to go to the Giants Cubs NLCS and the Sunday night game where Matt Williams hits the Homer in the fifth inning. I was in, it was a night game at CaliStick, bro. I was in short sleeves. See, that's even hard to believe. A September October. This is our time, right? Fleet week and all that stuff that we have. And apparently it's supposed to be a monster heat wave coming in for the rest of this week.

Good. I always get excited about a heat wave. As they do, David Levi Stadium on that side of the street. Yeah. True. But luckily, the 49ers are not playing at Levi's. They're playing an Australia. Speaking of Levi Stadium, buddy, 49er round table. We got to start hyping it. I know we were sort of focused on other things, but 49ers round table, dude. Thursday at noon and everybody's invited. You're all invited. Almanac Brewery, Prescott Market, 16, 2018. Is that the right place? Oh, no. No, no. That's where we were at the Prescott Market last year. And I got last year. No, I believe we are at the actual Almanac location in Alameda. No, huh. Alameda. God dang it. You got it. Sorry about that. No, no, no, it's fine. She probably bone up on those things before I go on air with some. Yeah, probably. Almanac Brewery in Alameda. Yes, sir. Okay. I'm seeing it right here. 49ers broadcast Alameda. 12 to 2. Does it say where is it? We'll be there. Oh, yeah, it's got the address on the bottom, but it's hard to see behind the Almanac beer logo.

Well, just Almanac Brewery, right? Yeah. Yeah. Alameda. Alameda. On Tower Avenue. Right, Walter. Right. On Tower Avenue in Alameda. We got it. We'll see you there. Funny enough, I'm supposed to be in Alameda tonight for a shocker water pull. Although they're having problems with their pool, and they're going to have to let us know if the pool is good. I'm still got those. What is it? Float Fates. The Fosfates. They finally cleared the 10 one after about a month, and now we got the Alameda. Wow, Fosfates everywhere. We'll find out later today if I'm going, but I'll be their Thursday at noon with all y'all. Boogie. And it's the day of the game. Yes, it is. 530 kickoff. 535 49 around table come out early for a little tailgate action. Hang out, have a couple beers and watch the game there. And I got scooped by a fellow Navy daddy's like he's a San Francisco guy. There's a little pockets of cow of Bay Area people there. And he goes, so he goes, you know, he goes, I hate Netflix, which I'm glad it's not going to be on Netflix. I'm going to know the game is on Netflix because no, no, you can watch it on NBC Bay Area channel three. I was like, no, you can't. And then he called up the story. He found it. Showed it to me. The game is available on NBC Bay Area.

You don't have to have Netflix. Oh, that's fantastic news. Now I did not know this until you said it before the show today. I guess it's because of local broadcasts and rights in the NFL where they're obligated to put the game on. Contrary to actually working for you. I'll take it. There you go. Uh huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, let's get the guest list and say good morning to Waltz our guy. Man, since I last left Christian grew, I'm sure he's bearing down on his first birthday, man. Might have a beer by now. How's it going, Walt? What up, Walt? Good boys. How you guys doing? I'm doing good, man. There's a little travel, but it was wonderful. Labor day week. How's your Labor Day weekend? It was fantastic, actually. I finally finished that 24 hour draft that I was a part of. What is that? What about a week? What is this? It's a low-draft draft. Don't do it, don't it? So I'm part of a draft. Austin Scott is the commissioner. So that's all you got to know. Yeah, there's your first problem. Yeah, there it is. We have, uh, I think it was like 10 or 12 people, but anyways, work schedules got in the way. So we couldn't find a certain time to do it. So he just said, oh, we're going to do a 24 hour clock. So you just make your pick whenever, yes, it's a bad idea.

So you have 24 hours to make your pick? Yeah. Yeah, you got 24 hours when you get on the clock. Yeah, full day on the clock. You don't have to, you don't have to exert 24 hours. And here's the thing about 24 hours. And Walter was showing me the draft. Like I figured, okay, it's a 24 hour draft. It's offline. There's like an email chain or something. No, there's an actual draft room where when you, your pick is up, it says 23 hours and 47 minutes remaining on the clock. This is it's insane. This is finally finished after six days. And I think it was 13 hours. This is maybe the worst idea I've ever heard. Maybe the worst day of the worst day of the year. I mean, the worst experience. Damn, damn, it took a whole week. Six days, it took six days. Yeah. What was worse? The 24 hour draft are us in August, having to talk about both the killing and asking. Might be the draft strategy. Terrible. I get mad when somebody takes the full minute. I guess you're like, what are you doing, dude? I'm getting mad like you're taking six hours to make a pick. I need to know from you guys. Once I got kicked off after my fourth round pick, it was unbelievable. I was about to make a pick. You know what's crazy is I was about to pick Mike Evans and the computer wound up taking Mike.

Oh, did you have him cute up or? No, I didn't. Totally random. Yeah, looked into that because I wound up getting back online about an hour later and saw the rest of my team. Like, well, I got problems with a few of these picks here. But anyway, the point is is that when I was off, did it take the full minute? Like, is that what was happening to my picks? Yes. So, I thought you were still drafting. First pick when you initially got kicked off, it just kind of went like it was you. Then I think like the auto draft logo popped up and it started going quicker. You guys knew I was off. You guys knew I was off. Well, it seemed like you were off and then you were on. I came back at the very end. I think I got my 15th round or something like that. Like, there was one situation where I think because you had the 12th pick in the draft. So, you had that back to back, like 12th, 13 range. There was one time. I might have been your fourth fifth where I think you made your fourth and then you were still in the clock for your fifth. But you got kicked off and I said, oh, no, I don't know if Murf knows. He's got back to back picks. What's going on here? It was brutal. So, that was the moment. Yeah. I was yelling in my seat and my family was like, shh, you're being loud. I didn't, because I had my headphones on. You know, I was like, oh, man. I got kicked off. Oh, there's my guy.

The kid is like, elbow on me in the ribs. He's like, shh. I'm like, what? You're really loud. I'm like, I kicked off my draft. I'm like, I kicked off fantasy draft. All I need was just to get through this draft. And she's like, shh. I'm like, well, do I owe the other passengers? I couldn't yell, can't I? Anyway. Yeah, if babies are crying on planes, I got no problem with Murf crying about the wife. I was a baby crying about my draft. It happens. I didn't like my quarterbacks when I came online. I did not Trevor Lawrence and Bone Next. I'm like, I wouldn't know the draft. You went back to T-Law, okay. So, that's good to know that it was auto-draft. Yeah, I didn't know that. I was in on T-Law a couple of years ago. Two years ago when I was bad, although you know what's funny? Low key, he actually had a decent fantasy here last year. Yeah, yeah. So, I was surprised to see him in a roster. I might've looked, I might've backed into one. Now Walt's already trying to make trades with me and stuff. Oh, Walter's on the trade. I got you, Murf. I got you. He knows I have a weird weakness for Dak Prescott because I think he's a good fantasy quarterback. Yeah, both of you guys love Dak. I don't love him, but you had a rent-tired the Brock Purdy last time I checked. Maybe got Dak. Yeah. All right. So, we're going to do a little bit of a double dip action

because with the short week, we're going to start with Dwayne Kuiper. Daisy dip. At 10. I'm going to put my hand up on you here. Dwayne Kuiper. At 7.30 and then Mike Kruko at 8.15. That's awesome. That's a name. I love a double dip. See, they put it in the wall art. This is out of big Kruko. I saw it last night. Fantastic. Dwayne Kuiper. Dwayne Kuiper. We got the cooler content at 8.30. Okay. We're going to do a little bit of a double dip action because we're going to start with Dwayne Kuiper. Daisy dip. Okay. Well, yeah. Lots of good stuff. A lot of sound from down under. Yeah. A lot of guys experience Australia for the first time. What else won't? And then we'll go back to some giants talk with Andrew Baggerlia at 8.50. All right. As we begin to play in for the future. Sure. Eggs alert. And then we got summer Sanders at 9.30. Well, that's unusual, but she's promoting a golf tournament. But that's great. She's awesome. She's a delightful young lady. And of course, 49ers. Rams. All right. Well, Trent Williams spoke. Yeah. And he's talking about Aaron Donald and Miles Garrett.

Next on these sports leaders. KNBR. The sports leader. Now back to Murphin Marcus on the sports leader. Streaming live on these sports leader.com and KNBR. The sports leader. Ab. All right. Great to be back from the long weekend. A lot happened. Including the fact that the Rams still haven't left for Australia. That blew my mind. I think that's right. They leave tonight. Then they get in Wednesday. Then they'll have 24 hours to play. Like I said, they'll be studying this sports science data for years to come. To see how. Yeah. So technically, if the Rams leave tonight, they don't land until Thursday in Australia. Yeah. But then they play Friday morning. They get ready for their Friday morning matchup. Give me. And then they turn around and leave right after the game. I mean, that's a. That's a slingshot, man. They'll spend literally one night there. Yeah. And I guess the strategy is to try to skip the step where your body has to get acclimated where you're not going to change your body clock, which might set them up better for a week

too. My question is, how are the Rams going to feel after getting off the flight for 15, 16 hours and having to play a game less than 24 hours later? Everybody's got different to pick. Some people are saying it's no big deal. Some are saying it is a big deal. It's no big deal. It's a big deal. I mean, listen, who's going to make plays? And as you're playing going to be made because you're feeling that much sharper. I mean, I don't know. Jetlag is a, it's funny. Even going to the East Coast. There's a touch of it. I try to think there isn't, but there is a little bit of a touch of it. And so listen, not, it was about mine. Four of years having more fun. Oh, I'm having way more fun. No question about it. This has been a cultural experience. And also, as we mentioned this, you know, last week, and we'll mention it again, they're, they're going to have all the fans. They're going to have all the fans. Oh, it's not if you're going to be close. I mean, we know that the 49ers have a big global fan based on the Rams already. But by them getting down a week early and kind of connecting with the community, it seems like red and gold jerseys are flying off the shelves out in Melbourne. And as we said in our opening segment, incredible news on Nick Bosa and George Kittle and Mike Evans that after an August of worry, they're all going to play.

And it just makes us realize this is this job. August was like a jail sentence, man. We just had to get through it just to get to September 10th. We're still not there. It's Thursday. But we're going to see all the guys that we talked about for a month. And they're all going to be playing. Mm hmm. And it seems like maybe the 49ers, maybe more than other teams are maybe just because we're the 49er flagship station and we cover and carry the 49ers every single day that the nineers specifically have been under more of a magnifying glass because of all their injuries last year, which is why everybody's so concerned about all the status of all these guys going to this season. So when you see a practice report in the middle of August that a third of your team is not practicing. It does bring up some concern, but it seems like everything is pointing towards the 49ers having a relatively healthy roster week one almost all except for the same Okawano thing. Purdy on having Kittle back. Well, yeah, it's been awesome. Obviously, George is very electric with his personality and all that. What he brings to the team, but I'm just seeing him back out in the field running around

and how explosive he is as a tie to end. It's like, all right. I feel really good to have him back. He's a Hall of Fame caliber player and he's going to make plays anytime he's out there. So for me as a quarterback to have him back out there, it feels really good. Yeah. Awesome. And then he talked about the Kittle's rehab and it's funny. We talked about Kittle talking about picking up marbles with his toes. Remember that? And then Marcus picked up his shoe with his toe. That's it. I've got monkey feet. You do. It was impressive. I think ladies like that. Yeah. Yeah. You know, as we always find out in what we learned today, you know, check me out on FeetFinder.com. Anyway, cut D about Kittle's. It's not just the fact that he's the most enthusiastic guy that he worked his ass off. Cut D-Wold. Obviously, George's a bunch of different stuff. And I feel like he could tell you probably more about what he did exactly, but from my end, just watching him. Like he was just so specific with his rehab every single day when I saw him in the things that he did. But all I know is he went hard. He did everything he could to get back for this week one. So that's a credit to him, man.

It's actually remarkable to be able to have that kind of injury and do what he did to get back. And he flew places. He did things. He did everything the right way. And he just worked his tail off every day in the weight room from when we were back in California and OTAs in the summer in Tennessee and then back during camp. Like everybody saw what he was doing. So big credit to him for doing that and doing it for the team. He wanted to get back to play with the boys and to give this organization everything he's got. That's George. There it is, man. And see him out there will be incredible. This is happening in January. I mean, September. What a freak of nature. Like we've talked about the fact that Achilles injury used to be, you know, the Achilles heels for athlete with that was a type of injury that could end your career. You're telling me George Co is going to suit up and be on the field. What is it? Seven to eight months later now. That's completely ridiculous. Who draft? I'm trying to find out. I'm looking at our draft right now. Who draft it? Amy Webb in Werdady, George Kiddell. I think it took him in the fifth or the sixth round.

Yeah. A little bit ahead of ADP. But Murf, yes, I was keeping my eye on George Kiddell. You know, I've had Kiddell on the Kiddell Rascals, the last couple of seasons. I changed your name. But I missed out. Yeah, I've got a new team name since I drafted Jade and Daniels this year. And my team name is I seize the fifth. By the way, I got a D plus from Yahoo. I drafted. Yeah, I was rippin' about it last Thursday. I was like, this might be the only time in life where I actually get a higher grade than Murf. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. No, by the way, I was preparing to take Mike Evans at the end of the fifth round. I said the fourth, end of the fifth. And yeah, it was a risk, but I'm doing it. I think he's going to, I also just kind of wanted to have him. Hell, I think Larry Krueger took Desjohn Strypling in like the fourth or fifth round. He took him early. Krueger got an F draft grade. Did he? Yeah. Can we see each other's grades? Yeah, you can check it out on the main page of the website. I can think I got a C plus. These get degrees. Definitely. Yeah, I got knocked down a couple pegs. I drafted our guy, Krishmick Cafe in the first round.

I took that risk, doubled down with running back to him. Krishmick Cafe and ashton Gentee with the last biggest raiders. I saw that. And yeah, they both have a few risk or injury concerns coming to the season. So I doubled down when double handcuffed, Mike Washington Jr. the back of rookie running back for the raiders and K-Law and Black as a backup as well. But those were my two worst graded draft picks, both getting D's on the day. So that dropped me from a B average to the C plus. By the way, I just want to tell everybody right now that while everybody's interested in the K-MBR and no food in the studio league, that we will not be reading team names this year on the air. Yeah, it's a little difficult to talk about the team names this season. You can just use your magic. A lot of jokes. A lot of jokes. Use your imagination. At least we can say my name. Seize the fifth. That's not going to offend anybody. Okay. I don't think so. I don't think so. What's the Jaden Daniels, the season to sis letter about number five and LSU and Jaden Daniels is my quarterback. Okay. Do I just play the Dave Chappelle, please? The fifth. That's right. So I've got a logo of Dave Chappelle, throw out the five. Fifth. Okay. I see the fifth.

I see the fifth. Did I just stick with football, man? Yeah. That's a good name. It's a classic. And I have the Pat Peacond and Marty picture. Yeah. That's a great logo. That's a great looking logo. All right. So there's a little boasts of for you, but I told you guys Trent Williams spoke to and Trent talked about Aaron Donald and Miles Gary. Next on the sports leader.

Just drop in 1-800 gambler. Nick Bolson. He's going out there. Whatever you want to say, he's going. He'll be there. We're not hiding that. Nice cut from Rahim Morris down in Melbourne or Melbourne. As they say it here. I've been watching all the comments from all the have you guys seen Grant Cone blowing up down there? I've seen some of those videos taken over social media. He did the today show in Melbourne. Did he really? Wow.

He's kind of like become the like that guy. Who was it? Freddie the German guy was. In the World Cup. Yeah. They just they love it. Wasn't Freddie the German guy of phony. There was a bunch of people trying to expose them. There's debates. There will be a 30 for 30. Interesting. What if I told you a German bot took over the World Cup in 20? Anyway, all watching all the I actually watched. Shout out to David Lambertty and shout out a 5.5 hour flight from Baltimore to San Francisco last night before the Giants came out. He did a 22 minute video of walking from this hill in Melbourne all the way down the stadium. He's good at these. I watched the entire thing. I watched the entire thing. So you got your cap to be. Well, I'm just taking in all the content. Matt Meoco. I've watched him go out to Australian football, Aussie rolls football games and he has all Matt Meoco did like a man on the street type interview where he's asking people how do you say Melbourne? Yeah. Yeah. And Grant's doing things where he's ripping AFL players and say he's getting a lot of love for this. Anyway, it's been fun. I mean, whether or not the 49ers made the right decision to go a week early, they certainly

are having way more fun than the Rams who leave tonight and will get in there just 24 hours for the game begins. And the only problem is that the Rams are bringing Miles Garrett and Aaron Donald. Although actually, he was funny. Hacking a lung. I should strike that. You guys are driving to work. You're doing your YouTube or whatever. I don't want to give bad. They haven't officially cleared Aaron Donald yet. That is correct. I've not gotten official word from Sean McVeigh and the Rams that Aaron Donald will be playing week one Thursday night. But Kyle Shanahan said in his presser, he's preparing like Aaron Donald is going to be out there. Yeah. I mean, obviously, it's a smart thing to do, but it's not official just yet. No. And these non official reports are sponsored by Redwood Credit Union for you, for community for 75 years. Join RCU today at redwoodcu.org. Thank you, Marcus. I'm OCD about these things. I need to cross the cross. Come on. Cross it off the list. I'm like, twitching cross it off. Just like I tell you, you're listening to KMBR, MKMBR, FM San Francisco, these sports leader of KimiLis Media Station, shout out my fantasy football team name for 10 years, the mid segment reads. That's it.

That's what we do best. All right, guys. So you heard Raheem Morris. That's a pretty good sound by his. Almost a candidate for the wind package. It's nice and clean. When he goes, because he names checks me, he goes, Oh, Nick Bosa. Oh, he'll be out there. Yeah. Running back one more time. I'm giving him a full eight seconds. The nature of this bite is a nice clean bite here. Yeah. Oh, Nick Bosa. He's going out there. Whatever you want to say, he's going to be there. We're not hiding that. I love it. Yeah. It's a good bite. Oh, Nick Bosa. You talking Nick Bosa? Oh, Nick Bosa. Yeah. That is pretty good. I want to keep that. Yeah. Oh, Nick Bosa. Hopefully he's going to play well. Matt Barrow's in a whole story in the athletic about the fact that his thighs are different size now because his right leg, right ACL couldn't work out as hard as his left. Oh, overcompensating a little bit. So we got this in Nixon. Atrophy is real. We got thigh breakdown. Oh, Nick Bosa. All those thighs. All right, guys. George, pardon me, Trent Williams talking about those dudes that he has to block Aaron

Donald and Miles Garrett. So here's Trent Williams on Aaron Donald, who again has not been officially clear, but it is cut V Walt V as in Victor as to whether or not Aaron Donald can come back after two years off. I wouldn't be the one to say he'd be slower, slower or any different than the last time we seen him. So that's what I would expect. I mean, I'm older than he is. So anyway, he, I expect him to come back old and slower. So I'm like, no, I think he walked away from the game on his own terms and was like, he's coming back on his own terms. And I expect him to be the same 99 that the lead grew to fear. Yeah. I mean, he's got to, you got to approach it like that. Yeah. The Niners won more games than they lost when they played Aaron Donald. This is true. This is effect. I'm just saying. So by the way, it's Trent Williams. Somebody to think about right now. I was reading this story. Did you read about this guy? An Irish rugby player. His parents are from Nigeria. They immigrated to Ireland and raised this guy, Nef Giewa, six foot seven rugby player

who is absolute for weak. Like he's length, his quickness, his fast switch and all that. He got sent. It's a heck of a story. An agent saw him in a rugby game. Ask if he wanted to play American football. He's like, I don't know. And then they did a little quick workout with him and they sent it to some college. And he was getting D1 offers like site unseen. Like he was going to be any point of this story is that he's now at South Carolina. He's this absolute freak six, seven. He can jump on top of boxes and all that stuff. He had no idea how to play American football. A tackle and you know what he said? He watched Trent Williams. Yeah, that's a good dude to watch. And he was and he's in awe of Trent Williams. I think we all take him for granted. Oh, it's he's the future hall of Famer. He's the best offensive lineman that the 49ers have had over the last couple of decades. The bottle is nobody. His size has been able to move and be as athletic as him. Bro, it's one of my favorite things to watch when watching 49er games is when Kyle Shanahan gets in his bag and puts Trent Williams in motion when he's like a pull and tackle

down the line of scrimmage. Like I start praying there in that moment for those defense events. That's not a guy you want to see pull and coming down the line of scrimmage. I mean, even at this age, he's not what he's not what he was when he was 25 or whatever. But it was just interesting to me that this guy when they were learning the job, he's like, I he goes, I watched this chat name. Trent Williams. He's unbelievable because you know, Trent was he six, at least six five. Yeah, I mean, he's a freak of nature. He's a big boy. Yeah, do it. And when I met him down at the pro bowl earlier this year, some of the biggest pause I've ever seen in my life, like I'd put him in that category of guys like Larry Allen who I got to shake his hand up at Sonoma State before he passed away. Those guys, those hands are just built different. They're built for blocking dudes. Well, he's going to have to block 99 and 95 as he calls him. Cut our wall. More Trent Williams on Donald and Garrett here. Cut ours in Rico. You know, I played 99 virtually his whole career. So very familiar with him. Obviously, he had a few battles with 95. So very familiar with him. So obviously having them both on the same field to be a little different, but obviously

he only got me. I only got a block one at a time. So 99 and 95. Yeah. And that's what didn't kind of scares me about this parent now is the fact that there will be a lot of one on one matchups. The fact that you can't just slide the entire protection towards the middle in the center of your offensive line to help out with extra bodies on Aaron Donald because a guy like Miles Garrett is on the outside. Is the 49 still haven't announced who their left guard is? Yeah. Sounds like we might be headed towards a rotation at left guard between Connor Colby and Carver Willis. They're just trying to like fake it. Yeah. This is the NFL, by the way. They're going with the platoon strategy. Shout out to Jonah Cox and two Gilbert. Exactly. I mean, that's a bull strategy against this defense of line that has pieces outside of number 99 and 95. We got more Trent Williams here and what's going on here with the travel situation. What does he think? Cut and Walt Nancy. You know, again, it's both most over hyped and over analyzed and most interesting thing

in the world. This is different travel strategies. But Trent in the end says, eh, never get a take cut in. To me, tomato tomatoes, whatever you believe in, the good thing about it is when you play a game, you got a lot of adrenaline. So I don't think that that would be a biggest factor as people think so. Okay. So I mean, what do you think? I think it's going to have a bit of a factor. Now, I think with the two different strategies, I think the four to nine are sort of better for the week one matchup. I think the Rams are set a better for their return flight and get ready for week two. But we'll see how it plays out. If he does have any effect at all, one thing I did want to ask you about though with that Trent Williams answer. It's something I've thought about my entire life when people say tomato tomato. Have you ever met anybody that actually says tomato? That's a great question. Like everybody says tomato. Yeah, the British. Do they? British. The British. The original thing about cuisine. The aristocrats say I have it to my to my to my to my to I've never heard a single person

in my life called a tomato. It's an old fashion tomato. Who tells calling a tomato? Well, potato, potato. Yeah, but no one goes potato. Let's call the whole thing. Oh, it's all potatoes. You guys know that song? You say tomato and I say tomato, Fred Astaire. Come on. What do we learn today? We go back into the black and white movies guys. Let's call the whole thing a George Gershwin, right? Everybody Gershwin? I couldn't tell you. Is he Gershwin? He's a rugby player from South Carolina, right? Yeah. I really just think. All I know is Little Wayne once dropped a tomato tomato and one of his reps. And I thought it was kind of a lazy lyric. Okay. You say tomato. I say tomato. Okay. Lazy lyrics. Little lazy. Little lazy. And he lazy bars. Well, you had a thought. What? You got a reaction. I was like, what's the rest of the bar? Yeah. I just remember it wasn't that good. Who was the kid? We had a sound by it recently where there was somebody said that's a bar. Oh, was that the Native American guy who said, uh-huh. Did you see they cut him? Yeah. They're all that after the heartwarming story. Cowboys use him for a social media hit and then cut him. Jerks. Plank plan for clicks. Yeah. Yeah. Fred Astaire, let's call the whole thing off. That'll be our what did we learn today? You guys will be like, yo, dude, Murf.

You got to get out of the 1930s. All right. Guys, here's more on the travel. Fred Warner checked in Walt Cut J from Warner about this travel. Again, I open the show by telling you guys is the Rams have not left yet. This seems crazy to me. I feel like the game's like in the next like 20 minutes, you know. But where's Fred Warner's take on who's doing it better, Cut J? Yeah, you know, I can't really speak to how, you know, the Rams are approaching it. I can only speak to how we're doing it, right? I think I'm happy with what we decided to do. I'm happy with our progress up to this point. You know, the day of practice we had today and all the days leading up going into Friday. You know, I'm excited about it. I think we're giving ourselves the best chance to win on Friday. Yeah, did you see the cut from Kyle to where he officially came full circle? And he goes, no, he's on me now. This is the right place, the right time, the right team. Do you see that? No, I mean, I'm gonna say that quote from what we did. I saw the quote about him being a time traveler and him for now.

That one got a lot of runs. Yeah, that got a lot of action this weekend. It's actually not that hard to figure out. Here's how it goes. It's Tuesday here, meaning it's Wednesday. It's Wednesday morning there, which means he doesn't have to do his practice report until Wednesday morning Wednesday, California time. So he, no wait. See, I hate to be this guy, but I believe the way that I try to figure it out is our show ends at 2 a.m. in Australia. Okay. Because we were trying to book Mac, Mayoco. So doing the reverse math minus four hours, six to seven, would it be 11 p.m. Wednesday or Tuesday in Australia right now? It's still my P to say 17 hours. So it's Tuesday. It's it's almost Wednesday morning right now. Yeah. So it's almost midnight in Australia. We see you. Here's the bottom line. I think Kyle does not have to put out an official practice participant patient report until tomorrow, our time.

How about that? I think that's true. So he has to put it out seven a.m. Wednesday or time. I think it was 3 30, California time. I think can we just play in America? Well, make it so much, so much easier. Okay, let me start. Don't forget Stanford played rice there in 2017. Nobody cared. Not a single soul. I remember that game. I saw that in the story. I was like, wait, what? Nobody over analyzed their travel. Nobody over analyzed their freaking body. Collector like go down there and play and come back. Don't say a word. All right, guys, more sound from the 49ers Christian McCaffrey, who's yet another one of those guys we spent August worrying about. Who's going to play on Thursday? Cut M. Well, from number 23, C Mac here. Yeah, I mean, I can't imagine it being more detailed than what they gave us. There was, you know, big packets on the plane, different supplements to take at different hours, different sleep suggestions, when to stay up during the day, when to go to bed. And so they kind of any questions you think you would have had they answered it in these

packets and were really prepared. Did you see the 49ers sign because the Sam Okawano injury, they signed this guy named Khalid Karim. You see that? I did see that. Yeah, come off the Falcons practice squad. And this guy's going to be played for Rahim Morris and he will be probably active on Sunday. Get your passport, buddy. Dude, get your, but did you see the stories that not only did he get his passport, he had to get it from. I think it was the commanders, maybe he had been commanders. They cut him and then the Falcons put on a practice one and then the Niners grabbed him because they knew him for me. He morris or one of the, anyway, the path is that the Niners grabbed him. But you see the nine, he said the Niners sent him a fricking detail of how to handle his flight, including blue light glasses, a certain amount of hydration he had to do at a certain time. Like they meet the moment they signed him, they're like, dude, follow this instruction. Yeah. Well, it sounds like that packet that Krishnam and Kaffrey had with the sleep schedule and the supplements and everything you need for that. The fact that they did it for a brand new Niner. They're like, dude, you're on the team. He was out in Atlanta, by the way. So this dude had to, we're talking about Moomin and Crine about flying from San Francisco. I mean, that's insane, dude. One morning, you're on the practice squad in Atlanta.

The next morning, you're down in Melbourne and having to wear some blue light glasses and somewhere over Fiji. Yeah. I mean, use those blue light glasses before. I don't even know what they are. I heard the good for your eyes. I don't know. It's because of all the time we spent staring at our screens. That's Krishnam and Kaffrey. He would know about it. I saw that the LSU quarterback Sam Levitt posted his whole, do you see that whole thing? No, I miss that. I miss his whole night time routine that involves whatever those glasses are and putting his phone down by 8 p.m. Okay. Could you do it? No, absolutely not. Could you do it? I'm on my phone until like five minutes until I fall asleep. That's a bad example for I have a 14-year-old who drives us to the end of the record. I'm not a role model. Well, I get to know that Krishnam and Kaffrey is a role model because Krishnam and Kaffrey is like type of guy that turns off his Wi-Fi when he sleeps. Like he takes it to the extreme. You don't remember that Walter on Radio Row. He did an interview and he was asked about the substation. He's like, man, I'm the wrong guy to ask. I turned off my Wi-Fi at night. So like he believes in all the extra particles and sound waves or whatever the hell we're talking about.

Well, make Krishnam part of the first generation to not go screens. Just like take, don't even like, don't even, don't even introduce it to him. Just go have him go retro, bro. You know, it's funny. Actually, one of my buddies is doing that. Shout out to Big Rommel. Not Little Rommel. Big Rommel, my original barber. He's got a pair of twin boys and he's been raising them without a screen without an iPad. Go on old school. Raw dog and parenthood. Big Rommel. Way better than your boy here. Way better than your boy here. Does that count like TV? No TV works because you can interact with them when they're watching TV. You're like, oh, you watching the Brady Bunch. Let's talk about it. I'm like, this guy's watching college football already. TV's are cool. No, it's the frickin' thing where they just disappear from society. It's the iPad generation. Two or nine says, guys, it's not that hard. Just type the question into Google. It's 12, it's 12 10 AM in Melbourne. Oh, it's past five minutes. Five says, just always remember, it's seven hours earlier tomorrow. Nine to five says, I think the Rams players will be wondering if they're leaving too late

on the flight over. How about that? What happens if they get a flight delay? That's what I'm saying. The carburetor should do. By the way, five three O's already hyping up our round table saying, let's hope the four day round table is better than the Warriors and Giants round table where you guys hyping them as contenders. Oh, man, dude. Five three O says, well, no, I'm going to read that one too. Nine to five says, I saw a t-shirt recently and said, you say tomato, I say FU. Yeah, that's kind of my feelings too. Blank you and your tomatoes. Anyway, just some sound. We'll get more on the other side. Kyle Shanahan is speaking down there. Fred Warner is speaking down there where he more is speaking down there. Clay Kubi is speaking down there. The 49ers and Rams play on Thursday. We can't wait. It's happening. The 49 we wait all year for this, man. Thursday night, five thirty five on Netflix and on NBC Bayer. You don't have to have Netflix. Let me ask you a question. Is the idea of going to Netflix to get sort of the whole quote unquote ceremony of Netflix, you know, their production, their pregame, their, would you do that?

Or we just, just do NBC Bayer? No, I'm just going to go NBC Bay Area. You know why? Why? Because I believe the rumor is, coronary reports. Greg Papa will be part of that pregame production. That's insane. Oh, I'm only. So now Netflix out, Papa in. Screw Netflix, give me Greg Papa. I mean, I told you guys seeing him at the flannery show, he's ready. I said, really, honestly, right now, the only thing different about Greg is his hair. That's it. He's that incredible. He's like, he's back. He's full G-Pop. I need my G-Pop of football taste. God bless his doctors who are angels on earth and God bless him being on the TV Thursday. Absolutely. So now there's another reason to blow off Netflix. Go get him, Papa. I'm going to cancel my Netflix subscription off of kidding. It might be advertisers. All right, Dwayne Kuiper at 730, Mike Kruko at 815, double dip of that. And of course, more 49ers on the other side on these sports leaders. Tim Ryan here with your Bay Area team and four.
