• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Everybody?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Welcome into another edition of the check Odaily. It's Andrew
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: de Checko here from inside the Birds dot Com. And
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: the Eagles drop a thriller in Dallas twenty four to
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: twenty one, and they now are eight and three on
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: the season, and there is a lot to unpack here.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: So we're going to begin with just the over you
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the overarching point here, and that is is that the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Eagles had opportunities and squandered them. They were bogged down
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: by penalties, by turnovers. The Eagles had fourteen penalties for
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: ninety six yards in this game, and they were unable
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: to put a resilient Dallas Cowboys team away, and they
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: had opportunities and they lose twenty four to twenty one.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: To think about the fact that the Eagles had a
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: twenty one to seven lead with eleven to thirty five
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: remaining in the second quarter, and they carried that going
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: into the break, and to think that they were blanked
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: in the second half and it was plagued by no
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: faults of their own, with self inflicted woundst executional lapses,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: and it was the Dallas Cowboys who instead rallied despite
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: whatever happened in the first half. They put that aside
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and they put up seventeen unanswered points in the second half.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Eagles quarterback Jay when Hurst completed twenty seven to thirty
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: nine pass attempts for two hundred and eighty nine yards
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and a touchdown, while adding another thirty three yards and
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: two touchdowns on the ground. Wide receiver AJ Brown led
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the way in the receiving game, hauling in eight receptions
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: for one hundred and ten yards and a touchdown on
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: ten targets. For the Cowboys, Dak Prescott lit it up
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: in the second half, completing twenty two of thirty six
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: pass attempts in total for three hundred and fifty four
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: yards and two touchdowns.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: He added nine yards and a touchdown on the ground.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Wide receiver George Pickens pulled in all nine pass targets
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: for one hundred and forty six yards and a touchdown,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: while tight end Jake Ferguson, who had five for sixty
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: in this one, factor prominently late in the contest. Just
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: some housekeeping and active for the Eagles in this one.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Quarterback Sam Howell, cornerback Mac McWilliams, running back AJ Dillon,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: tackle Lane Johnson, and defensive tackle Tye Robinson.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Hey, it's Jeff Mosher. And if you have a family
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: and kids at home, like me, you always want them
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: to be fully protected. That's why I'm thrilled to be

  Speaker 3: before they got inside, why wouldn't you. Traditional security systems

• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Opening offensive series for the Eagles, Jaywen Hurts goes five
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: of six for forty seven yards and the touchdown. That
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: drive covered fifty yards on seven plays. Thought the play
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: design on the touchdown, which was a sixteen yard Jaywen
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Hurts pass over the middle to wide receiver AJ Brown,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: was very well executed. Running Back Will Shipley cleared out
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the flat to the left and it pulled the safety
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: in creating space for Brown to maneuver over the middle.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And Brown had three catches for thirty one yards on
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the drive and it was good to see him get
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: going early and build some of that momentum. And that's
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the impact that he can have on a game. We
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: all know it, we've all seen it. And I think
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: that that really encapsulated what he's all about and what
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: he means to the offense. And then through two drives,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: aj had five He caught five of six targets for
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: sixty seven yards and the touchdown. And it's worth pointing
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: out that through those first two drives, every Eagles receiver
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: yielded snaps. I believe Xavier Gibson had a three yard reception,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and wide receiver Darius Cooper, the rookie free agent out
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of Charlatan State, picked up two catches for seven yards.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: His first quarter catch was his first NFL reception.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So cool to see that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: And there was I thought that there was a variety
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: from an offensive standpoint, even if some of the creative
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: designs didn't always manifest, and there are reasons for that
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: executional lapses such as that nifty eight yard completion to
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Dallas Goddard to start the fourth quarter that was negated
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: by DeVante Smith offensive pass interference. I should also mention
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: that Davonte Smith made one of the game's biggest plays
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: where he swored over cornerback Kaylin Carson for the forty
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: one yard.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Deep shot down the right sideline.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Took good body control and play strength from Davonte, who
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: is one of the better contested catch receivers in the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: NFL despite his slender frame. It never ceases to amaze
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: me what he's able to do out there on the field.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: But with regards to the offense, it was you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: it's been often discussed and the element that has been
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: largely absent has been the ground game. And Jalen Hursts
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: picked up thirty three yards on seven carries. His seven
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: yard touchdown run which was the egals second of the day.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I thought really was the equalizer, or it could have
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: been the equalizer, right because back in week one he
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: carried fourteen times for sixty two yards. But just base
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: off of that seven yard run, it exemplifies the threat
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: that he poses as a runner and you can clearly
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: see that the defense was confounded and they forgot to
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: account for Jalen Hurts in that area.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, Philly fans, game day is stressful enough. Parking, traffic,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: long lines, We've all been there, But when it comes
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: to your cannabis, Camden Apothecary makes it easy. This is
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: the dispensary for sports fans, just minutes outside of Philly,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: with plenty of free parking. You'll be in and out fast,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: no hassle, no waiting, and they don't just care about convenience.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Camden Apothecary is all about the guest experience. Their staff
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: makes sure you feel taken care of every time you
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: walk in. Plus they carry only the best quality cannabis
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: at the fairest prices, so whether you're stocking up for
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the tailgate, the watch party, or celebrating a big win,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: you know you're getting the good stuff without overpaying. They
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: even show love to the community with specials for fans, students,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: service members, and healthcare pros. Canned in apothecary, top quality cannabis,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: great prices, and an experience made for Philly fans twenty
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: one and up.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: It's difficult to beat the Eagles playing even a perfect game,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: but those self inflicted wounds made it near impossible. This
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: was a first half observation, but the Cowboys dug themselves
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: an early hole with the six first half penalties, the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: fifteen yard roughing, the kicker that extended the Eagles second drive,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: and a pair of turnovers. Cavante Turpin, the wide receiver
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: return special was fumbled on a second quarter first and ten,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and then Dak Prescott tossed an egregious interception to Eagles
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: safety Read Blanket Ship in the end zone on a
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: second five at the Eagles five, and that halted a
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: drive that at that point had accumulated sixty four yards
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: on ten plays. But that interception interception felt like a
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: turning point in the moment, but the momentum would shift
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: many times thereafter. The Cowboys did show a lot of
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: resilience in this game, rallying on both sides of the
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: ball and then finally taking advantage of a favorable opportunity
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: that presented itself with two minutes left, Defensive tackle osa
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Odigi Zua drops Jalen Hurts for a thirteen yard loss
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: on a third and two. He can almost feel the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: energy in the stadium sort of dissipate, and ultimately the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Cowboys were able to make good on that and put
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the game away. But it didn't feel like either team
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: really wanted to win this game, you know. Speaking of momentum,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the Eagles had a chance for an interception with Prescott's
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: attempt over the middle in a tight window. It found
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the hands of Zach Bonn, but the all Pro defender
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: was unable to corral it. And it's worth noting that
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: it was Bond who actually pounced on that turpin fumble.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: So he's always around the football and he had a
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: good game. He was around the line of scrimmage quite
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a bit, racking up a.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Ton of tackles.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: But then on another occasion and a Kobe Dean interception
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: was negated for having too many men on the field,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: and it did prove inconsequential because kicker Brandon Aubrey missed
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: a fifty one yard field goal Two plays later.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Dean, by the way, picked up his third sack of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: He steamrolled running back Javonte Williams en route to Dak Prescott,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and last week it was Lions running back David Montgomery
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: whom Dean blew up.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: The fourth year linebacker. I've said this time and time again.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: He packs a punch, He plays with such a physical
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: demeanor on the field, and he's.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: A force to be reckoned with.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: The Cowboys entered Week twelve ranked twenty fourth in the
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: NFL in run defense, and as enticing as the matchup
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: appeared on paper, it wouldn't translate into much success for
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the Eagles via the ground game. For a perspective, Saquon
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Barkley managed just twenty two yards on ten carries. It's
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: hard to fath him, but in a game that figured
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: to favor both the Eagles in the run and pass game,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: it was the passing game that answered the bell well
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: for the early part of the game, delivering early Haymakers.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: But after the quick twenty one first half points, the
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Eagles offense stalled coming out of the break, and then
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: they were blanked by the Cowboys, who rolled up seventeen
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: unanswered points. The early lead skewed Dallas's offensive approach, but
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the Eagles provided swarming run support, mostly bottling up running
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: back to Vonte Williams to the tune of eighty seven
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: yards on twenty carries four point four yards on average.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: But in a game that the Cowboys were unveiling a
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: healthy and high quality offensive line, it was the Eagles
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: defensive line that in my estimation, controlled the line of scrimmage. Namely,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: it was defensive tackles Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and Moro
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Ojomo who generated consistent interior penetration. Carter in particular, was
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: a menace throughout this game, notable in terms of how
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: they chose to deploy their cornerbacks. But when Eagles cornerback
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: with Dorry Jackson exited early with a head injury, the
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Eagles opted to deploy versatile defense to back Cooper Degen
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: at right outside corner when they when they were in
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: nickel and then bringing on veteran Michael Carter, the second
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: to man the inside. Prescott did test Cooper Degene, who
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: was covering wide receiver CD Lamb down the right sideline
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and he surrendered a forty eight yard reception that fueled
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys second scoring drive. But there was a lot
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: of hand fighting on this play from both sides, But
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: it was Cooper dejen who was called for DPI, which
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Dallas obviously declined, but it looked more from my perspective
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: that it was offensive pass interference, but I digress. Both
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: kickers in this game pushed kicks of fifty plus. Brandon Aubrey,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: who connected earlier this season from sixty four yards out,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: pushed his fifty one yard attempt wide left. Jake Elliott,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: on his fifty six yard attempt early in the fourth quarter,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: pushed his wide right, giving the resurgent Dallas offense optimal
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: field position. Dak Prescott orchestrated a three play fifty four
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: yard drive to not the game at twenty one. But
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the highlight on that drive and possibly the game, was
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: an acrobatic forty three yard reception from wide receiver George Pickens,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: who skied above Dejene and a converging Sydney Brown to
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: reel it in. That takes impressive body control and hand
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: strength to be able to reel that pass in.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: There aren't many receivers in the NFL who can do that.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: And George Pickens, it's just having an amazing season. One
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: hundred and forty six yards and a touchdown in this one,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and he was just.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: No match for anyone.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was just a problem for the Eagles secondary,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: and to be fair, he's a problem for every secondary
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: that he's gone against. He entered this game second in
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: the NFL and receiving yards, and he's just an imposing
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: presence on the boundary. The Eagle struggle with ball security
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: late in this one, with Cowboys linebacker Sam Williams peanut
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: punching the ball loose from Saquon following a catch and run.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: It's hard to.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Fart to fault Barkley on that play with some you know,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: there was just so many defenders and closing but it
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: was a sound football play by Sam Williams. I mean,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: there wasn't a lot that Saquon could have done, but
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: they had the right angle, they pounced on it, and
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: you have to give them credit for making the play.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: But then the other occurrence was during a punt return
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: later with Xavier Gibson fielding a punt inside the five
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and then absorbing a shot from rookie dB Elijah Clark
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: who went to Rutgers that jarred the ball loose. The
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Cowboys recovered at the Eagles eight yard line. But you
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: have to give credit to Vic Fangio's defense because when
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: it mattered in that moment, they kept them out of
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: the end zone over a four down sequence. I know
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Cedee Lamb dropped a touchdown, He's dropped a lot of
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: passes this season in the two matchups against the Eagles,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: but you got to give them credit for holding tight
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: in you know, in a confined space like that in
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: a critical moment.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Hey, I still like a good night out, but I'm
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: not always in the mood to drink. And that's why

• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I have to give punter braden Man a shout out
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: here because He was just outstanding on Sunday, booming five
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: punts for two hundred and fifty yards and dropping three
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: inside the twenty. Man's replacement. Man's placement, I should say,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: and excellent downfield coverage render the always dangerous Cavante Turpin
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: a non entity. In fact, he yielded just one return,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: one return for one yard, and man is just he's
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: just been exceptional since he arrived to the Eagles back
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. And he's indisputably and a weapon
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: when he's out there because he's able to give the
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: coverage chance to make play on the ball. He pinned
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: three of his kicks inside the twenty. I just think
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: his ball placement is outstanding, and he's playing. He's performing
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: at an all pro level, and I hope that he
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: garners that consideration from a coverage perspective. Rookie linebacker Smile
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Monden Junior had an active outing. He was flying around
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: and swarming returners for multiple stops.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: He's been kind of quiet in that area.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: He's been part of the special teams group all season,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: but in this game he really.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Flashed and that was great to see.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I mentioned the Eagles were charged with fourteen penalties for
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: ninety six yards. I mean, that's not going to win
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: you many games in the NFL, needless to say. And
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: for a team that does prioritize details, fundamentals and mastering
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: the things that require no talent, they got away from that,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: and they have gotten away from that a lot of
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: times this season, far too often from Eagles teams. From
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: a Nick Siriani led team, you don't often see that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: But it's hard to explain the offensive inefficiency. They went
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: radio silent in the second half. They weren't able to
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: generate much. I thought there were times where the protection
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: upfront in terms of pass protection was faulty. They couldn't
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: get anything going in the ground game, which is concerning.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: And it's sort of confounding in the sense that they
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: looked efficient, they look confident, they look creative in the
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: first half, and then they were almost unrecognizable in the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: second half. And I never like to make too many strong,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: you know, proclamations off of the game. I have to
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: go back and watch it at least two or three
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: times afterwards to get a better assessment of it. But
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: it was really confounding, and initially, you know, I think
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: it has a lot to do with executional lapses, penalties,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: and just a lot of errors and gaps that you
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: don't typically see from the Eagles because they prioritize that.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: And I think the turnovers really underscored just.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: How wonky this game was because the Eagles do not
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: turn the football over and it happened on multiple occasions
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: in this one, and that just can't happen. I'm curious
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: to hear what Nick Sirianni has to say and what
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: their approach will be this week, and as they have
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: a short week and they have to get back after
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: it because the Chicago Bears are going to link in
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Financial Field Friday for the Black Friday Game, So I'll
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: have to wait and see. A couple injuries in this game.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: One that's very concerning in my view. Cornerback of Dori
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Jackson was evaluated for a head injury.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: He did not come back into the.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Game, and he suffered a concussion in the Vikings game
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: missed the Giants game, so that's something that I'll be
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: keeping an eye on. And looked like safety well Red
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Blanket Ship left the game with a thigh injury and
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: then later in the game, rookie safety Drew mccuba sustained
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: an injury, and we're gonna have to wait and find
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: out the extent of all of those injuries, but just
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: something to note as this week starts to progress. But
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the Eagles were really banged up in the secondary there
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: late in the game, and Michael Carter got a lot
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: of reps in that game, and I thought he did
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: some nice things. And again this is all upon first watch.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: There's still a lot to be determined when I go
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: back and reassess the film, but those are just my
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: initial takeaways, you know, hot off the press right after
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: the game as.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: The Eagles lose twenty four to twenty one in a.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Game that looked to be on its way to being
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: a blowout in the first half, but that's why they
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: have to play four quarters. So a lot to unpack
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: from this one, and I'm sure I'll have plenty more
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: this week on Inside the Birds dot Com and on
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: the Checko Daily podcast, But for now, that's going to
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: do it for this edition of The Checko Daily. I
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: am Andrew to check O and I'll catch you on
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the next one.
