• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Hump Day. Let's fire that up. Give us your hottest
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of hot takes on any topic. It can be snack foods.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: We've had some of our best discussions about snack foods.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: That's for sure. About whether to parboil brats. Don't do it.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: The experts have told me, don't do it.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I agree. I don't want to mess around with boiling
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: them first.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Why do people do that?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Put them in a beer bath and let them simmer
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: before you serve them with the onions and stuff, but
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: don't boil them first.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, and get that thing right on the grill. Get
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: that nice char in there. Yeah, get that char in there.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Snap of the casing. Or you smoke them on that Traeger.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: That's how you really, really get that crack. If you're
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: worried about.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: The meat, just get them good meat thermometer. That's all
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: you need.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Any topic is fair game for Hot Take Hump Day, 877-794-1973.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I'll open the bidding.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: My hot take is that there was some really interesting
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: reading between the lines yesterday at Lambeau Field.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: With Gutekunst and LeFleur having their pressers.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Guti went first. And as for Josh Jacobs, he was
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: kind of like, well, we're going to let the process
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: play out. We're going to let the process play out.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: He was kind of like pumping the brakes. We'll be
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: prepared either way, I think, was one of the tags
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: on it. And that's why they went and got a
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: running back from Pittsburgh. And they're moving on without Josh
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Jacobs because he's kind of persona non grata on the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: commissioner's exempt list, which is double secret probation.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: It's the pre-suspension.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Cause it's like anything that any games that he misses
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: on this exemplist count towards a suspension. So he's like
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: in the, he's like training wheels for a suspension.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And it's also the weird spot where he's going to
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: get paid.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: But then if he does get suspended, then has to
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: pay that money back that you get paid from while
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: being on the exemplist.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: That's a weird deal.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: But the difference in messages, Matt Lafleur was like, you know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: believes him and talk to him. And he part of
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: this team, whereas Goody was more noncommittal to me.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: That was very interesting. Well, and it was understandably so.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: The questions continued to come through of have you seen
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: the video? What will you do when you see the video?
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: He's like in the appropriate times. The quote from Goody,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: if those things become available, meaning the video that allegedly
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: is a part of the two misdemeanor charges against Jacobs,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: we'll figure that stuff out when it come when that
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: time comes.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Was Goody's tag.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: And, and drew, I, I heard the same thing, especially
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: from the floor, extremely committal to, he knows who he's,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: he knows the guy. He talks to him regularly said
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: that he's been in meetings and will be somewhat around,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: but there's, it's a difficult spot where he is. It
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: has been over the last two years, not only one
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: of the big parts of the personality of your football team,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: but he's worn a C on his chest the last
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: two years, right? So, like, for Matt LaFleur to have
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: that be somebody that you trusted with that on your
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: team to then have to answer these questions and then
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: know on the back end of it could make you
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: look really bad, right?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Like, at the end of this.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Just saying, I am going to, we're going to let
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: the process play out, but I believe in the guy
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: and I believe in my guys and we're going to
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: stand by him.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: He does put himself into a difficult spot.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: If indeed this video comes out and it is extremely
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: damning and vicious. Like there there's a part of here,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: drew that. I very much understand the exempt list. And
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I wonder how much this is going to be a
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: power struggle because we've now seen the Brown County DA's department.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: They really don't have much of a timeline here, but
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: they're going to do their thing. This is going to
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: happen on their own terms. And, and I, right now,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: if we're going to hot take on the situation, he's
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: not going, I don't believe Josh Jacobs plays a down
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: of football until Roger Goodell with his two eyes sees
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: that video. There's only one person that can take you
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: off of the commissioner's exempt list.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: The commissioner.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: And Roger Goodell has been pretty firm handed in all
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: of his punishments since taking over, especially after the Ray
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Rice situation, understandably. So that's when this commissioner's exempt list
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: came into effect where we're not going to get caught
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: with our pants down, where we got this guy coming
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: out after a two game suspension playing on Sunday night football.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden TMZ has this video
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: of him knocking a young lady on cold. So that's
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: just not going to happen under Goodell's watch because And
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I think it's going to be the
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: first one to blink. And I don't know anybody's blinking
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: until that court date. I don't know that until they
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: have to release the video that anybody will get their
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: eyes on the video. And I don't believe he plays
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: it down until Roger Goodell with his eyes gets to
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: see it and sees the contents in it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: And the point is also that that's it, Billy. He's
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the judge during execution in this league. He put himself
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: in that position. And that's why the owners like him
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: because he protects the shield in that regard. But It's
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: always about the video. It's always about how bad the
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: video is to the public opinion and how much it
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: turns emotion and how much it creates an uproar. Maybe
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: it's not supposed to be this way. Maybe it shouldn't
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: be this way, but that's the reality of it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: The standard seems like six games, and that feels like
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a number, especially since it's misdemeanor charges and stuff.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: And now, again, we don't know.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Could.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: If November 17th to me is like the arraignment and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: then you have like discovery and they have to give,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: And that's where it would have to come in.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And that's where the Jacobs's lawyers, they're not obligated to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: show Jacobs's lawyers. Like, well, I guess maybe they saw
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the video initially or something because it had to be forensically.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Well, it's also in his home, right?
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it took a while.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: So like you would think if anybody would have it,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: they would be able to see it. You would think
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: they would be able to access it and they would
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: have the password and stuff. So maybe they have it.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: maybe they could show it to get out. Like, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: if there's a, maybe there'll be a plea deal where
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that doesn't have to go like, okay, he's agreed to
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: plead no contest to this, throw that charge out or,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you know, throw the battery down to disorderly and we'll
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: plead no contest and we won't do a trial and like,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: it'll pay restitution of whatever that is and fines. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: cause it's, that's kind of what you're at. So if
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: they do that and it doesn't go to trial, then
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the league can say, all right, well, he's getting six. However,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that might take a while to legislate, but that would
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: get you in that window. Because the Packers don't want
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it to go beyond six games, do they? I don't
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: think so at all, no. To me, six seems like
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the standard, unless there's something... Again, what does the video show?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: That's what it comes down to, guys.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Is she coming at him? Does he put his arm
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: up and she falls? There's a thousand different ways that
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: it can go. We don't know. 100%. But it's not
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: a good look.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: No.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Totally. It's not a good look, and it's... It's put
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: them in limbo. And I guess.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Goody's stance to me was right. LeFleur was a little bit...
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And I get... You know, he's like, I believe him.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Like, oh, yeah.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I remember when everybody believed Ryan Braun. Right.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Are the Packers risking you?
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Believe at your own peril. You know?
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Is the PR gap being risked here by the things
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: they're saying?
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: No, but I think it's like... And I think Goody
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: took the right stance. And then LeFleur has to, like,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the locker room and... His players in the locker room
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: might be a little bit different.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: That's fair.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: And so that's the message that Matt's always got our back.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And he stayed with Josh.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: And the players.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Here's another thing, and anybody who says, like, this is
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: going to be a distraction for the Packers, I've been
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: around athletes, man. They're hyper-focused on their own. When a
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: guy gets hurt, it's like, okay, well, let's just keep it.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: They're like tunnel vision. And I don't think that, you know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: maybe Marshawn Lloyd is nervous about getting more totes and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: stuff and having his rolling case, but he's also excited
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: about the opportunity.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: And I don't think anybody's sitting around going, oh, my God,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: we don't have Josh. What are we going to do?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: They're just going to work.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think like it's is that any more of
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a distraction than Micah Parsons not being able to play
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the first.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Half for Tucker Craft's contract? Yeah, 100 percent. None of
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: that affects anybody else.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think it does. I just don't haven't been
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: around athletes my entire adult life. I don't think they
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: process it the way we do. And you assume like, oh,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the whole it's hanging over the locker. I'm like, no,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: No, it's their whole lives that they've worked for this opportunity.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: The last thing they're going to do is let an outside,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: a distraction of somebody else's life, interrupt the biggest moment
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: of their life. And the thing that you pointed out
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: with Lloyd, I think is, is really, really fair. Drew,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: like he has gone through his own personal struggles and turmoil.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: He's not necessarily going to be worried about what else
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: is going on. You'd be excited for the opportunity and
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: mentioned yesterday that, that he's talked to Josh a number
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: of different times and he's been very supportive and helpful
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: with him in that realm as well. For LeFleur, it
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: is a difficult balancing act because you do have to
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: know that you can be caught in a very difficult
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: position if indeed the contents of the video are much
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: more damning. And that's where him talking and having some
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: real conversation here with Jacobs and this playing out over
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: the course of the last three months, I wonder how
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: many different times there have been the conversation of, all right, Josh,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: you got to be really honest with me here. What's
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: the situation, right? And, you know, you know one story,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: you know one side of it. They do put themselves
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: in a very, very tough spot. That being said, compared
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: to a lot of other situations that are going around
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: different sports, the green Bay Packers don't need to necessarily
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: give Jacobs the second chance. Like I, whether or not
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: it's a six game suspension.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Cause I do agree. Like, I think that's where this
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: is all headed towards. Maybe it's, maybe it's four, right?
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's four, maybe it's six, but I think he's
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: going to be suspended for at least a month. They
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: could out then cut him after that suspension, then he'll
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: serve it.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: And then somebody will pick him up, right? Like that.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: That's the part of this league that somebody, one of
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: the 32 will give him an opportunity to, but that
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean the Packers have to be that team. And
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: I wonder how much pressure depending on what, again, the
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: contents of that video. And if it becomes public before he,
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: or when he plays in a Packers uniform again, drew there,
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: there's going to be a lot of fans that feel
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: a certain way about it.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: The Superbowl champs picked up Terry and Arnold, right?
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: With six pending felonies. Yeah. Pending felonies.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Like, I mean, this is and this is something that
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: has happened for a long time. And again, the NFL
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: is a world of second chances like that is littered
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: with second chances in the NFL because it's that competitive.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: And and more and more teams are going to do it.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: And then more and more teams are going to do
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: like the Lane Kiffin. If people get mad at them
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: for ultimately picking him up, if the Packers would release Jacobs, well,
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: they were going to do it.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were going to pick them up. They were
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: going to pick them up. They were going to pick
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: them up.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: What?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: You want me not to try to win?
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: It's stuff is way too competitive for for that to
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: not be a part of.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: That's the truth. Like it or not.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, in this league, you know, people are looking
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: for talent. And if they have a chance to get some,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: whether or not it's a risk in that regard, if
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: they if they can find a player that will help
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: their team win, they're counting on the fact that most
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: fans will care about that more. In the end, and
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: that's usually what happens. It's not great, but it's an
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: entertainment business.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: My gut tells me Jacobs will play for the Packers
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: after a four to six game sit out. But I
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: also can see it's not a reach for me to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: think that he'll never touch the field again for the Packers.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: What would you put the percentage split at? Because I'd
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: be at like 75-25.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm more in the 60s, mid-60s that he plays again.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: And it's like knocking on 35 and knocking on 40%
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: that he does. So it's like 35. I'm like 65, 35.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Higher than the Rams' chance of going undefeated.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: What was the 60%? Apparently, yeah, 68%. Apparently, 68% chance
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: they go undefeated. I can't.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: The more I thought about that yesterday, when I saw
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the first panel or the first month of their schedule
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: with a trip to Australia... I would say if I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: had to bet, what's more likely? The Rams go 17-0
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: or they go 1-2 to start? I'm taking the 1-2.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: They go to Australia to take on the Niners. They
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: go host. Could be an L. Which very much could
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: be an L.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Week one could be an L. Very much could be
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: an L. The 49ers are leaving today and the Rams
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: are leaving in a week. Day of, yeah.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: And the Rams are making jokes like the 49ers are
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: going to have Australian accents by the time we get there.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I want to know what the possibility is going to be.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: We'll see which one is the better strategy. But in
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: any event, that's it. Close divisional game anyway against this
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: sharp coach.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: That ends up being a toss-up. First game of the year,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: a foreign soil, who knows.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: They might lose it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Armin. They play Monday Night Football against the Giants.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: That's an L. But then they go to Denver and.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: To Philadelphia before hosting Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Does that scream unbeaten to you? Does that scream pristine start?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Hey, we're going to be 5-0 and look out?
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I see 2 and 3 before I see I'm defeated.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: They're traveling 4,000 air miles this year.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the other thing is for them to
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: go to Philadelphia is a brutal trip That's a bear
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: For big dudes to fly back and forth across the country. Mm-hmm.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: We're taking an Airbus. I mean, they handle the altitude
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: better than Boeing, but not that you guys care about.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: All right, so let me guess.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I was wondering about how they handled that.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: All right, you guys want a Badgers hot take here?
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Do they have those Airbuses in trailer parks, or is
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: that what Jed York was going to look at?
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: A new Airbus? I want any hot take you got Armin.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: So lay it on me.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: It's actually for Mike Witt. Mike, you don't want Mike
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Witt on YouTube, but it's a good day. I honestly
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: think we're going to shock the world and beat Notre
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Dame Sunday. What say you all? Howdy boys. Also wanted
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: to ask Billy, are you still doing post game for
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Badgers this year?
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, I will be doing Badger post game myself and
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Lance Allen. Thank you, Mike, for asking. Very, very excited.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: to fire up at Lambeau Field on Sunday night. I
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: am very excited that Mike is confident.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Picking the upset. I want some of what he's drinking
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: or smoking.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: I'm glad people are picking the upset. I, for one,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: will not be picking the upset. However, and this would
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: be the hot take out of it, very much good
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: can come from the Badgers losing to Notre Dame this weekend. Now,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: that is a hard thing to say that ultimately you
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: take a bunch of positives out of it. You're going
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: up against a team that is unquestioned, whatever publication you
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: listen to right now, the lowest I've heard Notre Dame
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: get placed in drew is the semifinal or national championship.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, ain't nobody got them out
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: of the top eight.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Nobody's doing one of these preseason shows saying, you know
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: who I really am kind of selling this year is
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame. They have the most experienced defense coming back.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: They're going to have the number one defense in the league.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Their preseason watch list and probably odds-on favorite to win
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: the offensive lineman of the year, the Joe Moore Award.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: And they got a quarterback who's the odds-on favorite to
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: win the Heisman. They're bringing back guys.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: They got the quarterback, and they got a chip on
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: their shoulder after the way last year ended.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: It's a tough first draw. Tough draw.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: And I don't know whether the Badgers will be better
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: playing this game after facing Western Illinois and Eastern Michigan.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: But I do know that whatever happens at Lambeau Field,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: those games that follow, if they struggle against Western Illinois
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and Eastern Michigan, that will be more damaging than... What
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: happened Sunday at Lambeau field?
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: A hundred percent.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: The two home games to then get ready for the
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: first two games that really kickstart the season. And the
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: two most important games, I believe on the schedule, you know,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: once you get into the Iowa's and things like that,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: at Penn state home against Michigan state, Michigan state's over
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: under is three and a half.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: You got to win that game. Pat Fitzgerald has not
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: been an.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Easy dub for Wisconsin Badgers teams in the past.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: And Matt Campbell's Penn state Nittany lions. My goodness. You
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: want to talk about a team that people are loving
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: up on. They are. I watched a lot of Iowa
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: State football. It was good. Wasn't that good? So that,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Is a winnable game going on the road in a
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: spot where you will be a larger favorite or underdog
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: than you probably should be.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: We don't know if that's a night game yet or not.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Probably won't be, will it? You know what, Drew?
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: I think they might have indicated it is before 4 o'clock.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Let me get that for you for sure.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: In college football, your guess is.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: No later than 4 p.m.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Okay, so it will be a day game. So it
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: will be a day game. But that's a tough place
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: to play, especially at night.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying that the season's not going to
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: be made or broken with Notre Dame. It'd be great
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: to see them be competitive and play a game into
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Competitive into the fourth. That would almost be a dub
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: for me. That was it. To play that team.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: And again, week one, there's always screw-ups, penalties, special teams mishaps.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Stuff happens in week one that you don't see later on.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: There are a couple of tip balls and a couple
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: of overthrows and a couple of very much sure-handed interceptions
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: away from being right into the game.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: But they've got to keep it close.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: If you're getting booed off the field at Camp Randall
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: against either Western Illinois or Eastern Michigan going into the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: tunnel at halftime, and it's.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Seven to three or something. It's like, if it's one
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: of the games that they've played the last couple of years, right?
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Like I think they were in a seven, three game
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: or a 10, 17, 10 game was South Dakota was
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: somewhat close a couple of years ago. Buffalo wasn't the
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: dog walk that it was probably supposed to be. So yeah,
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: I'm with you, Drew. Those two are, and also those
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: two are going to be in front of your home crowd.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: This one is a Notre Dame home game. up in Lambeau.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: It's going to be a different, unique atmosphere. I told
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: our buddy Wayne Larrabee that there's a Venn diagram. There's
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: a lot of folks, Notre Dame fans that are.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Also fans of the bears that live in the Chicago
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: area that are very familiar with the title town area
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: and getting in and out of Lambeau field and they
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: know their way around and they're.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: You know, It's a hot ticket on the secondary market, too.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: It is a big time. It is a ticket that
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame fans are definitely excited.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: To get into. A lot of alum everywhere, as you know,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: for both sides. But, you know, Notre Dame has a
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: little history of gaffes as well. I mean, they had
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: a Northern Illinois loss. What was that?
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Two years ago. Two years ago, yeah. So you never know.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's just, you know, that moment.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just it.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: You never know. But, like, to me, it's like be
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: competitive into the second half. Like, maybe if you can
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: be competitive into the fourth quarter, that's great. But then
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: just don't slip up against the directionals.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Take care of business and look the part against those schools.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Cause Colton Joseph is going to be one of those guys. Get,
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: get some big time offensive output against Eastern Michigan, Western Illinois,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: dog walk them and get ready to go in and
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: shock the world against Penn state.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: You shocked the world this weekend.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: I'm going to be fired up on it on post game,
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: but that's the one that I'm looking for at state college.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Here's a good one for you to chew on while
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: we go to break. And let me hear him Dolph.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: When's the next, it will be Colton Joseph, but who's
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the next Badger quarterback that will have a game? that
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: even approaches the excellence and the standard that was apparently
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: set when Graham Mertz played Illinois.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Remember that game?
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: When will the Badgers have another quarterback performance that even
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: approaches Graham Mertz against the Illini?
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Damn, because what was he, like 15 of 15 at
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: one point? It was crazy.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: There was so much excitement. Insanely great for.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: That one game.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: And I'm just saying it would be nice to have that,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: someone even approach that and maybe come back and play
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: it even somewhere close to the next week after that.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Maybe when my boy Ryan Hopkins gets in here. When
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: this boy Ryan Hopkins gets the nod. Modern day product.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: When we come back, Scott Dolphin's going to join the party.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to him more about last night's Brewers festivities.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, baby.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Bill Schroeder joins us about an hour from right now
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to talk about yesterday's episode. a very uplifting day with
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the Miz on the mound tonight. Things are looking good
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: for the Brewers. You're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: We've reached halftime of both the week and the program today.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Let's celebrate. Drew, Billy, and I'm going to bring you
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: to you on the huddle.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: And Scott Dolphin joins the huddle from the country station
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: down the hall, FM 106.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Hello, Dolph.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Hey, Drew, I just love the conversation we're having off
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: air about our favorite old arcades when we were growing up.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. Yeah, Aladdin's Castle. Aladdin's Castle.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: It was so fun. Those were big in the 90s.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: You had to go and play the latest Street Fighter
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: game or Mortal Kombat.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: There was a certain feel to those places. It had
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: a certain smell. The lights were always dim. You had
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: the glow of the machines. You got excited about it
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: as a kid.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: I'd get a hot Sam pretzel or an Annie Ann's,
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: and then I'd go over and get an Orange Julius
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: and then head down to the arcades.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: See, now the... The smell.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: The Auntie Anne's pretzel, though, is just a different beast.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: When that thing gets handed over to you over the counter,
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: you know the kind of fun you're about to have.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Sorry, Auntie Anne's and Maul's have a symbiotic relationship. I mean,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: they keep each other going.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Right, they're right there with Sbarro.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's a fair point. That's a fair, fair point.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: I saw the episode of The Office where they had
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: pretzel day, and the whole complex was lined up. There
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: was like 100 people because... You know, you could get
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: whatever you wanted. You get the works on that pretzel
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: if you wanted to.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Now, I do struggle, though. The salt pretzel is just
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: a one dip that thing in some cheese.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: It's phenomenal.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I do struggle to pass up the opportunity
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: at the cinnamon sugar one. Like I'm with you when
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: that is sitting right there. I know everybody's going to
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: say you're just going for the the old classic. My
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: wife wants the classic. She's planning on that. When I
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: come back with the cinnamon sugar one, I'm like, yes, sorry, honey,
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: this one's for me. It depends on where you are.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: You know, if you're going to the beer garden, then
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: you want the giant pretzel with the Dijon or whatever.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, a little mustard, no doubt. You don't want to
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: go sweet there. I fire that thing up at the ballpark, though,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: and I love when they do that. Oh, yeah.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: It's really good.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Wrestle that thing around with the cinnamon sugar. Dib that
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: thing one more time. A meal. I'm still trying to
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: wrap my brain around the smell that Dolph's talking about. Yeah,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I can't describe. You know, there's certain places.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: Patchouli weed.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Are we talking about the haze that's coming there?
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: People that smell like.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: They just came out of Spicoli's van.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was just a magical combination of several things.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: I don't remember that.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: It smells like loser. No, losers weren't doing that. People
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: weren't doing that.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I don't think they were doing that when I went
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: to arcades.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: No, nobody was doing that. Nobody was getting stoned and
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: going to the arcade with your kid arm in. No one.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Maybe I just didn't know what that smelled like.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it was. No, they did all
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: hit skunks on the way there. That was what happened.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: When you go into a bowling alley, there's a certain smell. Oh, yeah,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: that's true.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: The wax and the disinfectant from the shoe spray.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I was going to say the shoes that are going
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: on and off everybody's feet. School's just starting.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: Remember when you first went into a school and you
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: got that combination of the floor polish and the.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Chemical cleaners.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, that I can get down with.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Unless you're at MPS today. You don't have to go.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't have to go. It's too hot. Too hot.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Kids are out today at MPS. My wife and daughter,
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: who are both MPS employees, are happy about that.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: The wimpification of America continues. Yeah, that's right. I like
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: the preparedness of them.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: That to me, that to me is the better part
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: that we do it at three o'clock the day before,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: because that was the worst part when you were a
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: kid for a snow day or a heat day or
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: the cold day. You're like, I know it's going to
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: be brutally cold, but I do have to get up
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: early on in the morning, run downstairs, go have three
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: bowls of cereal and then watch there on the ticker
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: to see if we're going to be close. I like
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: the fact that they let's let you know now. that
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: I could have stayed up and played Halo all night.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or go to the arcade, right, and hang out
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: in the dusty smells of it, you know?
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Do they have air conditioning?
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Are you being safe?
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Listen, I think it's pretty cool, though. Think about it.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: You're a kid. You know, summer vacation's ending. You want
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: to push that sun back and get one more day
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: of summer. And here it is. Now all those kids
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: can go ride their bikes.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: To the sandlot and play ball. You got Monday off, too. Yeah,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: you're right. I like that. They'll be doing that, won't they, Armin?
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: They're going to ride their bikes around, playing outside, probably
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: climbing trees in the woods and stuff.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Hopefully the splash pads are still open.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. Two short weeks in a row, Drew.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: So they're off today, and then they're off again on Monday.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: They were all going to go actually golf to the
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: sports car's place and get some for their bikes to
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: make sure that they could put it in between the spokes.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: I can see that.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: Or maybe go find a dead body in the woods
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: like the old, what was it?
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Lean on, stand by me, lean on me. What was it?
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Stand by me. Stand by me. Remember that story? Yeah.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I thought we were just talking about the Paul brothers again.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Stand by me. Will Wheaton and River Phoenix. River Phoenix,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Will Wheaton, Jerry O'Connell. Kiefer Sutherland. I don't remember that movie.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know what.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Rob Reiner directed it. Rob Reiner, director.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: So it was a Stephen King novel where these four
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: kids heard there was a dead body somewhere out in
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: the woods. And so they make this big, long, all-day
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: trek to go out there. But there are rival kids
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: also trying to find it first.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Just imagine, we used to entertain it. Arrival kids trying
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: to find it before they get to the dead body.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Talk about that.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and there's an iconic scene where the bad kids,
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: led by Kiefer Sutherland, They get there, and they're going
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: to rough up these younger kids. And the younger kid,
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: Will Wheaton, who went on to be on Big Bang
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: Theory and one of the Star Trek.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Star Trek franchise. Thank you.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: He pulls out a gun, and Kiefer Sutherland says, you
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: can't shoot us all. He goes, no, Ace, I'm just
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: going to shoot you.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Just you.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: What movie is this?
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Stand By Me, man. It's a seminal movie. You never
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: saw it, Armin? You've got to be kidding me. You
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: would enjoy it, Armin. It sounds kind of weird, Bob.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: It takes place in the 50s. It's well made, yeah.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like Sandlot without baseball. Mm-hmm.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, jeez.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Coming of age movie. River.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Whipping out guns in the woods and stuff like that.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: A lot of people don't remember River Phoenix. Phenomenal actor.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: I mean, they know Joaquin Phoenix is his younger brother,
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: but River died at 21. Yeah, in the Hollywood thing.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: Was it at Johnny Depp's?
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: At the club.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: At the club, yeah.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Viper Room. Viper Room, yeah, indeed. Oh, my goodness.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: I did see a documentary on that one once.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, Armin, you need to see that. You'll
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: really enjoy it. Yeah, it was a great movie. I'm
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: stunned that you haven't seen it, but okay. Yeah, the
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: arcade talk. Oh, my God.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: There was a place growing up where all the burnouts went.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: The Foos House, the Foosball place and stuff. Now there's
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: this place in Menominee Falls called the Garkade that has
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: 200 pinball machines and vintage video game stuff. That's a
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: family-friendly place. It was always a smoky, weird... High school
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: kids who smoked would go there. Now they're like, no,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: we totally don't have burn holes in the carpet.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: It's now nice. Now it's nice. When I was a kid,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I had a list.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: When I got to Kennedy Mall in Dubuque, I would
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: go to Spencer's Gifts and just.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Check out the blacklight posters.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Got to go to Spencer's first to look at the
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: dirty stuff.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: I'd run by Music Land.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, there you go.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Get a CD. Yeah, get some vinyl, some sweet vinyl.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Get the latest Paul Simon CD or something.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, before I'd hit the cinema or the arcade. Nice.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: What a day. I mean, what a banger of a
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: day that must have been.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Now I take my kids in the mall. I took
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: my kids to the mall the other day. Dick's Sporting
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Goods is cool. Dick's is still there. The train is
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: still there.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Get some golf balls. The train is still there. Is it? No,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: it's not running a whole lot.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: See, it is depressing now, Billy.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Walk in. You're like, oh, sweet. I'll take my little guy.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: He loves ball. Loves baseball. Really big Bo Nix fan
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Take him into fanfare. We'll go look at. No, you won't.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: No, you won't.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: There's no fanfare. No, that's been gone. We'll go to Kohl's. No,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: you won't.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: No.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: It's a sad deal.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: You walk in and out, and the only place that's
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: really hustling, which did bring at least a little bit
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: of a tear to my eye, The guy shining shoes
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: and trying to sell you the shoe cleaner. He's still
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: there in between the walk right now. Generally, he would
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: have been maybe in champ sports. They would have been
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: selling their own one. My man saying right here, this,
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: you want to make sure these white stay clean all
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: year long.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Three times a day. I got three boxes for you
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: to make sure it's only 59 99. You do this
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: three times a week. You choose will never.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. You're referring to Southridge mall, right? Yes.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: The kiosk game is still pretty strong at Southridge, especially
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: during the holidays.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: You know, the calendar store and all that stuff.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Well, and my man was still trying to sell different
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: kind of watches. They weren't full balance bands. He wasn't
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: trying to slap them on my wrist right away walking
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: by and.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Say, hey, right here. You see this? You feel this?
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Now you're all on center. Now you're totally live.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: You can get that. You can get a massage, you know,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: in the middle of the mall usually.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Armand knows this because he's a mall walker.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Southridge is my home mall. And Billy and I,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: we grew up in the same place. But the thing
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: about it, I do love Southridge, but it's sad to
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: see those things go. And you say to yourself, come on,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: can we bring malls back? We've lamented this a lot.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: It's just not. what it used to be.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: At least they know their future, and they've been able
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: to pivot a little bit.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: You go to some place. I mean, Brookfield.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Brookfield Square has really been rough.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: It's kind of bleak. They still got Barnes & Noble.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: But that's totally been excellent.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, most of their stores are
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: outside the mall, right? Yes. All around the outside kind
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: of area of it. It's cooked.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: The rest of the restaurants, it's a lot of restaurants.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: That's true. I do go in there to pick up
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Rocky Rococos, which is always going to be a winner.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: That's always going to hit. We've got to find a
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: way to get the... We always lament the downfall of malls,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: and I don't know what to do about it. There's
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: really nothing you can do about it.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: You've got to go in there and shop more. Just
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: walk around in your cool new balance.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Speaking of new balance, what I've noticed is the one
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: style of store that seems to be still successful is
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: shoe stores. You mentioned Dick's. There's a few other shoe
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: stores there because people like to try on shoes, I think,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: instead of buy them online. You still have Champs. You
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: still have Foot Locker. You still have Dick's. And there's
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: another one, like, kind of a Payless-type store. They have shoes,
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: you know, like a shoe station or something.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: Do they still have people that will come around with
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: that device that puts your foot in it to see
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: exactly what your size is?
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Do they still do that at places like Dick's?
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Well, you can find them on the floor, but no
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: one's coming around to do stuff.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: But they'll have to.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: There are guys, like, at those stores sometimes that you
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: have to go find your size in the back and stuff.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: They have, the display models. I want to look at
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: this shoe. Get the other 11 here. What's your size, Billy? 15. Oh,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: that's not terribly large. Yeah. I haven't bought shoes, sadly,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: in there in a long time. Big mess.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: But of all the stores that are gone, Gloria Jeans
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: isn't even there. But there's a different coffee shop there,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Chlorid genes.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: All right, so Dolph, did you make it through the
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Brewers game last night?
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I did not.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: Much different proceeding than the previous evening. I went to
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: bed when Joey O hit the dinger.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Ah, there you go. I knew it was over. It
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: felt like it was good with the Brewers bullpen.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: With the first week of school, my wife was working late,
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: so by the time I turned it on, they're down 3-1.
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: And I thought, damn. But then it was quickly after that.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: I saw the big inning. I turned it on at
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: a good time.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: It was looking daunting. But another comeback W for the Brewers.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: And this one was quite satisfying. Because they didn't play
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: a very clean game.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: No. No doubt.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: But they ended up winning. The Cubs didn't play clean either.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: It wasn't great for either team. When Jackson Trujillo ran
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: them out of the inning and got caught trying to
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: steal third.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: My goodness. First and second. All right. That's an error
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: of aggression. And it was not great.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: And then Terang wasn't running behind him. And then you
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: had the three. players the ball falling.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah when the ball fell in but when that happened
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: when that inning happened I'm like oh maybe it's not
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: their night again right it's like that was a That
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: was derailing that inning.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: It almost looked like their best rally drew of the
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: weekend of the series so far.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, first and second, nobody out top of the order.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: He's still in third. Wasn't a lefty at the plate.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I was going to say lefty at the plate. Carson
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Kelly can throw. It was like, oh, man.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: If he was going to do it, I thought he
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: was going to go when Contreras was up. And Contreras
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: works a hell of a net bat. I think it
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: was almost 10 pitch at bat. But he swings a
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: ball for it twice and looks back at the– as
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: he fouled both of them off, and you could tell
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: how mad he was.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but thank you, Cubs, to get us back in
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: the game with a balk. And then I don't know
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: what Suzuki's doing. I mean, it's a padded wall down there,
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: and he stops and just kind of went, no, he
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: alligator arms that fly ball.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: That is a weird corner, too. It is.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Especially with lights, and it gets dark there. But he's
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: had trouble in– I mean, he's been a really good player,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: but he's had trouble. The weird thing is– his defensive
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: war has been better than it had been any other
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: year this year. So he had improved his defense to
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: this point. He had a really, really bad defensive analytics
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: score last year.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: That was just a bad play by him.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: So the Churio play where he was going back– he's
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: booking back to the Ivy. Suzuki just kind of was there,
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: and he went, no, the wall's a little too close.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I'm going to let this one drop. And there's no
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: foul line there. No, you're right. That's your foul line.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: It was an alligator. I'm almost like me when the
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: check comes. You're like, oh, I'm close. Like, oh, I
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: had my wallet.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Son of a.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Come on, man. Yeah. It wasn't clean. But now, okay,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: so now it's like normalcy has returned. Yeah. And now
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: you've got Miz pitching tonight.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Okay. you feel pretty good about that. And Henderson tomorrow. Yeah.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: 23 to play. You're up eight. It's over. Ladies and gentlemen, the.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: Vision is, yeah, it's pretty much it. I mean, I
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: know the magic number is still, what is it? 12
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: to clinch a playoff spot.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Something like that.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: It's now they won't, they won't do any celebration for the,
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: for the playoffs, right? They'll, they'll, they'll wait for the division.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: They will. Yes.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: But they won't wait for like the one seat or
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: the buy, right? They'll win the division. Then they'll pop
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: the champagne.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, do you still, when you clinch the division,
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: you put the shirt and the hat on and I
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: think you do maybe a beer shower.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: I think, I think you let it, I think you
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: let it ride mostly because you want to make sure
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: that you let Cooper Pratt and Luis Lara know what
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: they missed.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Like the showcase. Hey, This is why we need to
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: keep winning playoff series because then we get to have
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: more fun. I like that.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: And we get to see this guy try to chug
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: more beers. Who's going to be the biggest beer chugger
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: you think in their group right now?
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. Voguey's back in the mix. He's back.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: He's the coach. If he's in the mix, he's it.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Vaughn? Is Vaughn the guy that would do that?
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Bowers?
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: My money's on Tim Dillard. That's a good one. It's
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: going to have.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: To be IPA.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: You've got to look for the guys from the South.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Their SEC guy. I mean, Woody's.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Magic number 10 for the postseason, 20 to clinch a bye,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: 16 for the Central, and 21 for the number one seed.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Okay. So it's getting down there. It's getting there. Oh,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: they're all right in the sights.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: Just like that one seed in the division might be
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: in the sights for the Milwaukee Bucks after the little
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: players minicamp that they had down by Miles Turner. We
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: got to talk about this coming up. These boys were
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: having themselves a weekend. We got big old tomahawk steaks.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, I like this.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: We got 12 guys on a Malibu boat. It looks
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: like a good time.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I saw that.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: I like Miles Turner taking the leadership role all of
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: a sudden here.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: And everybody was on time for the flight, it sounds like. Beautiful.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: That sounds right.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: It's the kind of thing that it's nice when you're
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: rebuilding that they're doing that. I don't know if I
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: think like Miles Turner leadership, but hey, maybe.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know. He was never late. You know, according
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: to him. He was at plane on time.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: According to him, yeah. Wild. According to him.

  Speaker 4: four of Good Morning Football when that started, when it
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: was Kay Adams, Nate Burleson, now doing CBS Mornings. and
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: Kyle Brandt, who's now back into the ESPN interwebs. It
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: is going to be called, now, Hot Peter Schrager, who's
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: not whatever producer or boss okayed this name. The show
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: is going to be called Big Day with Peter Schrager.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Runs from 2 p.m. Eastern. Big day. You got big
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: day out there, Petey.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Petey, come on now.

  Speaker 2: You got big day ahead of you, kid.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Go get it.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Go get it now at one in the afternoon. That's
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: a heck of a time.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, shouldn't it be called like, I don't know, because
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: big day implies morning or midday.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: It feels like it would be a morning one, but
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: you would think. Also, you know what? Who's hot?
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon, even on the Pat McAfee
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: Sports Talk Network that ESPN is becoming over this football season.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: PTI is still running. PTI is still running and still
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: one of the only ones that they're not going to
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: change because it is the thing that sparked the debate show.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: You can go from radio, Mike and the Mad Dog,
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: PTI completely changed sports television in that realm.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: They're still rolling.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: ESPN announcing kind of rolling out slowly all of their
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: different stuff that they're having. Also going to be excited
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: that Scott Van Pelt was back, which is always a
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: good thing for sports.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Fans to have.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: Who's not hot last night? Luckily for the Milwaukee Brewers,
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: it was not a hot day for the L.A. Dodgers
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: as they get run through by the Cardinals 13 to 8.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Large part of that Jordan Walker going three for five
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: with a bomb. Two RBIs. And Drew, you read one
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: of the craziest stats of all time. Yes, indeed. According
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: to about Jordan Walker. Jordan Walker. The slugger for the Cardinals.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Home run derby champ this year. Has 28 homers this year.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: He has 55 homers in his major league career. And
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: he's hit them off of 55 different pitchers.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: My goodness. Equal opportunist.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: There's only one man who stands ahead of him in
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: this quirky statistic. A guy who had 58. His first
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: 58 homers came off 58 different pitchers.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: And I asked. And Armand's like, you know, Mickey Mantle.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: One of the all-time greats. Babe Ruth? No. Did fire
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: up a Bruce.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: No, it was Willie Adamas. Willie Adamas is first 58.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Homer's is a big leaguer. Came up 58 different pitchers.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: That's the record. And Jordan Walker's approaching it.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: And that's, that was actually confirmed to be correct. That's
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: a quirky stat.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yours was yours came from AI.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: I fixed it a little. I figured it out what
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: the issue was.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: The, um, the tigers had a nine game lead last
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: year when the calendar flips. So I guess when I
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: put in, did any team blown eight game lead that well,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: you have to play. Well, I, I'm not saying I, that,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: that was obviously totally happened by like five or six.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Your prompt was not pretty sure. I'm pretty sure.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it was like, it was something ridiculous. Like
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: there were 11 games up with 28 to play or
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: something like that. I don't know if that was in
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: September or not.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: You're right. What, what it was, was the, the tigers
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: had a nine game lead in the division. on September 1st,
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: but it was over the Royals. They were up 10
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: and a half on the Indians. The Guardians, excuse me.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 10 and a half.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was what's crazy about it.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like 11 games with a month left,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: and it was a colossal collapse.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, so you were close. So you were close.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Well, not really.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: Definitely not 99%. I need to talk to your and
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: whoever the guy on ESPN math guy was that said
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: the Rams had 68% chance.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: The key here is like, and again, I bitched about
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: this the other day, like the Google search now that
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: when they lead with the AI result, it's often if
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: your prompt is not specific enough, you're going to get
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: a flawed answer.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: That's what happened to me.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Especially in our business. Eight games.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: People can go to the air. spout stuff or you
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: can actually end up tweeting stuff. That is completely wrong.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: Cleveland was as many as 15 and a half games
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: back of Detroit as recently as July 9th of last year.
