Transcription

Chapter 1: What costumes does Tony collect at La Casa De Los Trucos?

1.01 - 20.699 Dan Le Batard

Folks, I'm getting hungry. And you know my favorite part of any meal, snack, or game day app? That's right. The GOAT, or should I say the greatest of all time, Frank's Red Hot. It's got the perfect blend of flavor and heat that elevates all foods from wings to buffalo chicken dip to even ice cream. That's right. I said ice cream.

0

20.979 - 30.713 Dan Le Batard

And with a roster of flavors from OG to sweet chili, you can put that shit on everything. So make every dish the greatest and eat the GOAT.

Chapter 3: How does Frank's Red Hot elevate game day snacks?

82.783 - 110.56 Rob Dignigian

It's Rob Dignigian! It's Brobdingnigion! It's Brobdingnigion! It's Brobdingnigion! It's Brobdingnigion!

It's Brobdingnigion! It's Brobdingnigion!

117.515 - 160.209 Dave Damoshek

I am at a total loss for why Mike Ryan had to leave early. Like he just had to leave and he fled the premises two hours early because he's got to get ready for the game to do what? You guys want to guess here? Josh Allen has played seven overtime games. You guys want to guess how many points he has produced in those seven overtime games in the overtimes? I don't even know where to start. Three.

0

161.17 - 164.495 Dave Damoshek

I was going to guess six, so I was overly optimistic there.

165.476 - 189.912 Dave Damoshek

And now his coach is fired, and I think the second biggest story, and we'll go out to Tony at La Casa de los Trucos in just a moment, I think the second biggest story of the weekend, not the officiating, I think it's the Bears not going for two after you've tied the game there, and you've got the coach in Ben Johnson who has delivered on his promise of, I'm going to be aggressive, I'm going to be aggressive, I'm going to be aggressive, and then

189.892 - 194.581 Dave Damoshek

You have a chance to go for two. You haven't been good in short yardage situations. You haven't been good on fourth down.

Chapter 4: What insights does Dameshek provide about line play?

194.721 - 198.227 Dave Damoshek

And you settled for the tie when you could have ended Stafford right there.

0

198.508 - 202.114 Dan Le Batard

Wow. I never even considered that. Like, you wanted them to go for two there.

0

202.355 - 219.282 Dave Damoshek

I'm just saying the conversation around it. I'm not saying that. I would also have just tied the game. But you've got – I – Generally speaking, in almost all circumstances, I want to be in the situation where I have the ball and I need to get three yards. I don't want to be in defense on that situation.

0

219.602 - 238.907 Dave Damoshek

I'm guessing Rams fans were relieved that the Bears were kicking to tie the game, and I don't want to give them relief. I want to finish them after breaking their heart by throwing to Cole Komet from 50 yards away. I think that's exactly right, Dan. If you can sum in what do they not want us to do more, that's what we should do, first of all.

0

238.967 - 258.07 Dave Damoshek

But more broadly, in the QB league, and if you're in a big-time playoff game, you probably have a high-end QB. Do you think he's the best player on the field? Certainly, Ben Johnson took the job with the Bears because that's how much he thought of Caleb Williams. He thinks Caleb Williams is the best player on the field. So which is more likely?

258.05 - 285.643 Dave Damoshek

that you're going to make two and a half yards with that stud qb or you're going to win the coin flip but then you're going to make the right choice when you get when you win that coin flip but if you don't win it then you have to hope they don't score so that you don't have pressure on you but then you have to get the ball then you have to at least match what they did again all these the sequence of events and by the way it was snowy out and windy out and it's not a gimme to make the extra point so that also should have been a factor in the in what ben johnson did i believed

285.623 - 315.462 Dave Damoshek

that ben johnson if he had gone for two there would have immediately supplanted mike ditka as the most popular coach in the history of bears football if he had gone for two and gotten it boy oh boy dan how about the completion of that football circle 43 years old that tom osborne had the balls to go for it it didn't work out for him but but my esteem for him is a man tony through the roof tony's shaking his head no at all of this commentary uh tony is pro cowardice tony what do you have

316.893 - 337.24 Dave Damoshek

No, it's not that I'm pro-coward. It's just, yeah, playing the result. Man, he should have gone for two after an incredible play, one of the most amazing plays we've ever seen in the NFL. But they also, you forget, they were down. They had four downs to get a touchdown in the drive prior, ran three times, okay, and then threw a terrible pass between two people. So it's like it's tough.

337.54 - 351.863 Dave Damoshek

Don't run the ball unless it's with your superhero quarterback. Boot him out and put pressure on the defense. Two and a half yards is what you need. Glory. I agree. I agree. I agree. Finally with Damoshek.

Chapter 5: Why did Mike Ryan leave early before the game?

376.276 - 399.715 Dave Damoshek

Yep, because in the commentary I was listening to, and Ross Tucker does a great job on these games, what I was listening to Ross Tucker say, and it's accurate, Throughout the game, he is saying, Caleb Williams is gonna be special and magical at the end. He's going to be special and magical at the end. The Bears have never had a quarterback who's that. This is the first quarterback.

0

399.735 - 418.675 Dave Damoshek

So give him the ball, give him the game, give him the season. We need two and a half yards. If I told the Bears before the season, Two and a half yards for your season against the MVP of the league. Do you want the ball or do you want to start playing with all sorts of numbers and randomness in overtime? You don't do it, Dan. You're exactly right.

0

418.815 - 442.582 Dave Damoshek

Listen, there are two basic groups of quarterbacks, high-end quarterbacks. There are the assassins who are Tom Brady. Now, people call them game managers, which is dismissive and marginalizes them. They are assassins, lethally accurate, calculated in their decision-making. Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and now Brock Purdy. On the other side, you have the gunslingers. Favre, Roethlisberger, Elway.

0

442.602 - 464.367 Dave Damoshek

That's why I call Caleb Williams Emo Elway. He's going to spray the ball around. He's going to be inaccurate. He is going to cause trouble that he is then going to dig your team out of. He is like Josh Allen. He is like Matthew Stafford. In that spot, one play, and you see the downside of Caleb Williams in overtime. He threw the interception that ultimately— Well, he's inaccurate.

0

464.347 - 468.555 Dave Damoshek

Is this Damoshek's segment? Football America is the name.

468.775 - 469.857 Dan Le Batard

We're coming to you right now.

469.958 - 471.921 Dave Damoshek

Football America Mondays and Fridays.

472.222 - 473.344 Dan Le Batard

Good stuff there from Damoshek.

473.364 - 482.02 Dave Damoshek

Caleb Williams has the worst completion percentage among starters. He is inaccurate. But let's go out to Tony. He's at La Casa de los Trucos. Do you have any OLIs?

Chapter 6: What controversial coaching decisions were discussed?

0

514.313 - 519.56 Tony

Alright, OLI, Bo Nix breaking his ankle on a kneel down.

0

520.281 - 534.76 Dave Damoshek

You gotta gut through that one. You gotta gut through that one, okay? Shavers, the guy from the Bills, played an entire half of the torn ACL. Like, you gotta gut through it. You wanna be a legend? This is what legends are made of. You gotta put a boot, a cast, I don't care what you do, you gotta be out for the AFC Championship.

0

534.78 - 539.106 Lucy

Why are they already ruling him out? Like, you don't wanna try, practice a couple days? For the season!

0

539.086 - 549.462 Dave Damoshek

By the way, Bo Nix did not hurt his ankle kneeling a football. No, I think it's the centering of the ball. When he says the second-to-last play, are we talking about the second-to-last play? No, they're talking from the line of script.

549.482 - 555.031 Dan Le Batard

No, it was the sweep left, that run play to the left. I'm telling you, that was not on any kneel.

555.412 - 563.224 Dave Damoshek

It's a de facto kneel, though. It's a de facto kneel because he's trying to center the ball, and he's also trying to run the clock. No, not the kneel down, though, Tony. It's not that play, Tony.

563.244 - 564.165 Tony

It was the play before.

564.185 - 568.282 Dave Damoshek

I don't know about that. Guys, I know it's a de facto kneel down. You're not listening to me.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of Caleb Williams' performance?

626.535 - 633.325 Dave Damoshek

It's a snap and pop, but it was a Newport box of cigarettes for Rose. Oh. Here, I'm going to take this one right here. Hey!

0

635.248 - 636.51 Tony

That's right.

0

636.53 - 638.232 Dave Damoshek

There are tricks everywhere.

0

639.394 - 640.896 Tony

Let me see here.

0

641.585 - 650.1 Dave Damoshek

What does that turn on? What is that? If you pull on that, what happens there? I don't know. It's going to shock the shit out of me. It releases the game from the basement.

650.601 - 660.96 Dan Le Batard

Damn! It shocked the shit out of me. I hate those. Number three. He's a showman.

661.936 - 674.395 Dave Damoshek

He knew it was going to shock him, so he pulled it. That's right. That's what happened. He knew what it was, and he was scared, and it did what he thought it was going to do. See if it shocks you again. I think if you pull it, not every time. It may not. I don't know.

674.415 - 675.156 Tony

No, I know what this is.

675.317 - 675.858 Dave Damoshek

I know what this is.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts feel about the upcoming Miami game?

711.853 - 739.478 Dave Damoshek

Number three. Oh, Jesus Christ. I heard a lot of calls for Davis Mills over the Sunday here. Ball knowers new, Dano. Ball knowers new. I tried to tell you guys. A lot of people are like, oh, Davis Mills. He's not that bad. And CJ Stroud was worse. Number two, nothing like a chubby kicker wearing 92 deciding an incredible game with love handles and a beer gut.

0

739.498 - 761.032 Dave Damoshek

They went out to him on the sideline, and I'm like, who is that guy? It's Mervis, their kicker. He's like, got it. He looks what Dan would look like, much smaller, but more compact. Whoa. Oh, whoa, my bad. He looks like what Zaz would look like with pants and a football jersey on. Is Az air? Does he have a pulse?

0

761.252 - 765.599 Lucy

Yes! Whatever, man! Why do you have to count on me to carry your bits?

0

767.421 - 789.475 Dave Damoshek

Number one. Number one, Dan. We spoke about it earlier. Let's move a little bit further here. Number one, we spoke about it earlier. Caleb Williams. There's really nothing we can say outside of the terrible interception he threw to end the game. Aside from the terrible interception that he threw to end the game... It was one of the most incredible plays that I had ever seen.

0

789.515 - 807.886 Dave Damoshek

I was sitting on the couch and I just kept saying, oh my god. The fact that he was running full sprint away from his own end zone for about 20 yards. The defensive linemen were like, what is he doing? Do we chase him? Do we not? All of a sudden turns around, throws a perfect fade away. maybe a little bit of a push-off by Cole Komet.

808.466 - 815.637 Dave Damoshek

I say play on, but a perfect throw ends up going, what, 50 yards in the air, a 14-yard touchdown. It was one of the most incredible plays we've ever seen.

816.158 - 833.625 Dave Damoshek

It sucks that it happens in a loss, but as Damasek will probably tell you, you need these bumps and bruises along the road to make sure that you are ready to get to the level of winning a Super Bowl, and sometimes you can't get there without a couple bumps and bruises. This is the bumps and bruises that Caleb Williams needs to maybe take that next step next year, so...

833.605 - 845.872 Dave Damoshek

An incredible play by a guy who I was not super sold on to begin the year, but as he's gotten better and better through Ben Johnson's offense, it's been an incredible just upscaling from everything that he's done from a football perspective.

845.892 - 858.184 Tony

So if there's anything you want down here at Casa Lo Truco, I can bring you back something. Dan, if you want me to bring you the... The buzzer thing that lit me up, I can do that. If you want the fart machine, I can do that. Go ahead and buy the fart machine.
