No introduction needed. All-time 49ers great Joe Staley joined "A 49ers Podcast" to chop it up for nearly an hour.

Over a scotch and a bourbon, we got into:

What it meant to only play for the Niners

Joe's role in establishing a new era of 49ers football

Playing with Bryant Young, Frank Gore, Patrick Willis, Navorro Bowman, Justin Smith, Delanie Walker, Vernon Davis, Aldon Smith and other "DUDES"

What makes George Kittle and Nick Bosa special

Why players flame out of the NFL

Working your ass off = 13 year NFL career

Joe's welcome to the NFL moments and favorite 49ers memories

What Joe's post-49ers career has been is like

The Justin Smith(?!) incident

And so much more

(Note: my microphone was having significant sound issues, which only came to light once our conversation ended. Rather than scrap this great interview, I'm publishing it because Joe was a phenomenal guest. So many great anecdotes.)
