1:50
Speaker 2: app and all of you streamers up with us early
1:53
Speaker 2: on YouTube, Facebook and ax as they're just rumbling in now, boys,
1:59
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring an old baseball termat this one's so
2:02
Speaker 2: old it's probably even outside of Arman's purview. I may
2:06
Speaker 2: have mentioned it once or twice before a phenomenon joke. Yeah,
2:11
Speaker 2: and it was a phenomenon way back in the day.
2:14
Speaker 2: And the frame phrase today that applies the phrase the
2:17
Speaker 2: pays is playing naked in Baseball's hot there was a
2:24
Speaker 2: there was a time when it's believe it or not,
2:26
Speaker 2: it's not a good thing. It's not like naked and afraid.
2:30
Speaker 4: Playing naked is not like naked and afraid.
2:32
Speaker 2: I'm playing naked naked and like the eighteen I'm playing
2:36
Speaker 2: naked today. Playing naked is what the term was for
2:39
Speaker 2: back in the day when and fetaments were ruled baseball,
2:43
Speaker 2: when the greenie was prevalent, there was a pot of
2:47
Speaker 2: coffee that was leaded, and a pot of coffee that
2:50
Speaker 2: may have been caffeinated, but not overly so. So playing
2:58
Speaker 2: naked would be kind of a detriment to your team.
3:02
Speaker 2: Playing naked would be playing like, say it's a ninety
3:04
Speaker 2: five degree Thursday and you just had a fifteen inning
3:08
Speaker 2: game on Wednesday and you're playing a day game on Thursday.
3:11
Speaker 2: Playing naked would be playing without any amphetamines.
3:14
Speaker 5: Okay, waking up and actually just waking up, going and
3:17
Speaker 5: going and the strap and go.
3:19
Speaker 2: So that was the phrase for it. You're playing naked today.
3:21
Speaker 2: What don't you like our picture? Don't you care?
3:24
Speaker 4: You're not going to try? I like that playing naked,
3:28
Speaker 4: and that's.
3:28
Speaker 2: What I'm doing today because when I had the day before,
3:31
Speaker 2: I left for Mexico. I had my physical exam and
3:34
Speaker 2: for some reason, they scheduled at four o'clock. That's because
3:37
Speaker 2: they had to reschedule, So I like, I had to
3:39
Speaker 2: fast all day. And then I got to the clinic
3:41
Speaker 2: where I do my physical and the lab was closed.
3:45
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. So I fasted for nothing, so I
3:48
Speaker 2: couldn't get any blood work done. It's like, so today
3:52
Speaker 2: I am playing with I can have water, I can
3:54
Speaker 2: have nothing else. I can't have my beef stick that
3:57
Speaker 2: I have in the morning, or any protein bar. I
3:59
Speaker 2: can't have any caffeine. I can't have my daily celsius
4:02
Speaker 2: or my diet mountain dew. So this three hour block,
4:05
Speaker 2: I am going to be playing naked.
4:06
Speaker 5: Now, that's it. That's a better version of it. I
4:08
Speaker 5: heard playing naked, and immediately as the as the young
4:11
Speaker 5: or very very bottom version of the millennial, I go, damn,
4:15
Speaker 5: you've got your phone at home?
4:16
Speaker 2: You don't have your phone. I've used that context as well,
4:21
Speaker 2: because that's about the same thing.
4:22
Speaker 5: Sitting there, like tapping all this sud, you're getting like
4:24
Speaker 5: these weird by your leg, like vibrating, no fantom vibrating.
4:29
Speaker 5: In twenty twenty six, you know, and even before. There
4:33
Speaker 5: are certain things you can go without during a day.
4:35
Speaker 5: There are not many more than not having a phone.
4:37
Speaker 5: You just can't you that.
4:38
Speaker 3: That's one thing, you know, I always I always fear,
4:42
Speaker 3: at least you know, where we work in this business.
4:44
Speaker 3: You always fear not being there when the curtain goes up,
4:47
Speaker 3: being late, sleeping in all these things. That's one thing
4:49
Speaker 3: I would turn around to go home and risk being
4:52
Speaker 3: laid for you. You almost can't function without a it's sad,
4:55
Speaker 3: not sad to say, maybe, but it almost seems sad
4:59
Speaker 3: to say, but you a almost can't function without a phone.
5:01
Speaker 2: So that would be number one.
5:02
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, But as I as I take
5:04
Speaker 5: a huge swig out of the like that that's a big,
5:07
Speaker 5: just industrial sized cup of coffee that I bring in
5:10
Speaker 5: each and every day, I don't know, play without caffeine
5:12
Speaker 5: if for the five am wake.
5:13
Speaker 2: Up, that's about as close to you can. I tell
5:17
Speaker 2: my wife, you know, I don't like to use the
5:19
Speaker 2: term hero, but if you want to ascribe that to me,
5:22
Speaker 2: that's okay.
5:22
Speaker 5: Hey, not all were capes. I think I think we're
5:24
Speaker 5: gonna learn that today. But we're gonna we're gonna be
5:26
Speaker 5: here to help lift some of that that burden and
5:29
Speaker 5: ease some of that stress. However, we're also going to
5:31
Speaker 5: be here, you know, in case that that lack of
5:33
Speaker 5: a beef stick here in the morning all of a
5:35
Speaker 5: sudden catches you in the seven o'clock hour, which it
5:37
Speaker 5: definitely can that lack of pro toe top deal.
5:40
Speaker 2: All right, So the fasting thing, it's so funny too,
5:42
Speaker 2: because if someone there are times when you go eighteen
5:45
Speaker 2: hours a lot of people, everybody, I only eat in
5:51
Speaker 2: a six hour window every day. I eat between noon
5:53
Speaker 2: and six and that's it, and then I can eat
5:54
Speaker 2: whatever I want. It's not really how it works. Intermittfasting
5:57
Speaker 2: does work for some people. Yeah, for sure now as
6:00
Speaker 2: I was in Mexico last week when my cousin is
6:02
Speaker 2: getting more into health stuff, and it's just like you know,
6:05
Speaker 2: if you do like a three or four day or
6:07
Speaker 2: even a two day water fast, uh, it kind of
6:10
Speaker 2: resets your metabolism and it can cut your risk of cancer.
6:12
Speaker 2: You saw some study if you do like a four
6:14
Speaker 2: day water if you fast like four days a year
6:16
Speaker 2: or something, I don't even know if they have to
6:18
Speaker 2: be consecutively. Cleanses a toxin reset or whatever. That's the
6:23
Speaker 2: newest thing. That's the thing about that is you think
6:26
Speaker 2: about it in theory, and it's like people who say, uh,
6:28
Speaker 2: I could do six months in jail. I wouldn't be
6:30
Speaker 2: that bad. No, it's like when you can't, you know,
6:34
Speaker 2: you could do it if you're not thinking about it,
6:36
Speaker 2: if you're really busy during the day, it's like, oh,
6:37
Speaker 2: I didn't eat anything.
6:38
Speaker 3: That happens sometimes I've done that all the time, So
6:40
Speaker 3: I could totally just string four of those together and
6:42
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think about it.
6:44
Speaker 2: And it's a mandate and etic that you can't eat anything.
6:48
Speaker 2: Damn you get hunger. You're right now, they say when
6:52
Speaker 2: you're fasting, like after the first day, the hunger goes
6:55
Speaker 2: away and you start more energized, and you might go
6:57
Speaker 2: peaking valleys. But you kind of adjust and your body
7:00
Speaker 2: adjusts and you start using your own your stores and
7:03
Speaker 2: your burning fat or whatever the keto flew.
7:06
Speaker 3: Isn't that what they call it, like or whatever, when
7:09
Speaker 3: your body starts transitioning to fat.
7:12
Speaker 2: I mean not that I would know.
7:13
Speaker 3: I mean I keep telling myself I'm not gonna do
7:15
Speaker 3: sugar during length, and then what happens.
7:17
Speaker 2: And I see I end up Shannon's featuring yeah all
7:21
Speaker 2: the time. I didn't eat one of those.
7:22
Speaker 3: But I did indulge myself on the Cops ice cream
7:24
Speaker 3: last night, so I guess I didn't do.
7:25
Speaker 2: I guess you didn't do it.
7:26
Speaker 5: It is tough for me, though, because, uh, it definitely
7:29
Speaker 5: you bring up intermittent fasting, and thanks to my friends
7:31
Speaker 5: in Milwaukee, weight loss.
7:32
Speaker 2: Got to learn that definitely works.
7:34
Speaker 3: It can absolutely work in the cycles and the timing
7:36
Speaker 3: of it at all is is a thing and whatever
7:40
Speaker 3: the best remedy for anybody to say, oh, you should
7:42
Speaker 3: exercise for this amount of time on that kind of
7:45
Speaker 3: paste with your heart rate in this it all depends
7:48
Speaker 3: on what you put into your body is what ends
7:49
Speaker 3: up getting fueling you to be healthier.
7:53
Speaker 2: But Drew, you said it.
7:54
Speaker 5: It to me is like a lot of you know,
7:56
Speaker 5: just about anything that's good in this world, anything that's
7:59
Speaker 5: worth affing, and food for a three hundred pounder is
8:03
Speaker 5: always right near the top of the list, right near
8:05
Speaker 5: the top of the list. Everything's always worth indulging yourself
8:08
Speaker 5: on one bite and maybe twice. Uh, you only crave
8:12
Speaker 5: it when you're told you can't you're told.
8:15
Speaker 2: You can't have it.
8:15
Speaker 5: You're like, man, butter pecan ice cream. Sure sounds amazing,
8:20
Speaker 5: the little sweetness in there. So I've never eaten in
8:22
Speaker 5: my entire life. You tell me I can't have ice cream,
8:24
Speaker 5: I'll enjoy any bit of it. The seventy two hour
8:28
Speaker 5: water fast, though, I've had a couple of people throw
8:31
Speaker 5: this one at me that if that's if that's the
8:34
Speaker 5: ticket to not getting cancer. As a gambler, I almost
8:37
Speaker 5: feel like I have to take your rest. I almost
8:39
Speaker 5: feel like I have to chow.
8:40
Speaker 2: Do it as a show. Let's go in, let's go
8:42
Speaker 2: see if we can do it. I mean, we're all
8:44
Speaker 2: gonna have I see how much weight you lose. That's
8:47
Speaker 2: the opposite of the Thanksgiving contest that that guy, the
8:50
Speaker 2: Paul standing that they weigh themselves going in and then
8:54
Speaker 2: see who can gain in the course of one meal.
8:59
Speaker 3: You can only have water, can drink, that's what they're
9:01
Speaker 3: saying with the water fast. Yeah, no, I believe so.
9:04
Speaker 2: I think. So, yeah, there's if you can mix in
9:06
Speaker 2: electro lights, you can that's my question, because that I
9:09
Speaker 2: understand the concept of food.
9:11
Speaker 3: But then you know there are things like, yeah, can
9:12
Speaker 3: you have like mixes in the water to give yourself
9:15
Speaker 3: electoral lights.
9:16
Speaker 2: And I don't know I span this. I say, we
9:19
Speaker 2: go on the huddle hunger strike for Hunger task Force,
9:22
Speaker 2: and we raise some money and we go out a
9:24
Speaker 2: seventy two hours now we're talking now. Yeah, but when
9:28
Speaker 2: there's a motivation at the end, it's incredible what the
9:31
Speaker 2: human body can do. But if that, if that motivation
9:34
Speaker 2: is I get to, you know, dunk on my wife
9:36
Speaker 2: that I actually did it. I don't know that that
9:38
Speaker 2: one's for.
9:39
Speaker 5: I don't know that that's big enough for seventy two hours,
9:41
Speaker 5: knowing that we're raising some money that could actually can help.
9:44
Speaker 3: No, I think that would be a pretty important, pretty
9:48
Speaker 3: significant achievement, don't you think.
9:51
Speaker 5: My friends of my friends of the Potawatomy sports Book
9:53
Speaker 5: have given me a quick update that I am a
9:56
Speaker 5: minus ten thousand favorite to be the first to crack
9:59
Speaker 5: on the under.
10:00
Speaker 3: Over under buyer. We're doing by our cell today? Is
10:02
Speaker 3: it buy our cell? Well, we'll be able to do
10:03
Speaker 3: that seventy two hours. I mean that that's tough. Seventy
10:06
Speaker 3: two hours is tough. I mean it's one days, one thing.
10:09
Speaker 3: But I don't know accountability to the boys is a
10:11
Speaker 3: thing though, well, I you know the guy. If you
10:14
Speaker 3: know the guys are doing it and you don't want
10:16
Speaker 3: to let down your brother. I mean, think about the
10:18
Speaker 3: USA Hockey team, Arman, Think about those guys. They didn't
10:21
Speaker 3: want to let down their brother Jack Hugh didn't want
10:23
Speaker 3: to sit there and go get stitched up there. You
10:24
Speaker 3: had to go out there and get back on the ice,
10:27
Speaker 3: get back on the ice and get a game.
10:29
Speaker 2: You had to get back out there for the boys
10:31
Speaker 2: because they're battling.
10:32
Speaker 5: If you know that, Drew and I are sitting there
10:35
Speaker 5: just guts and shambles because we haven't eaten in thirty
10:38
Speaker 5: five hours. Are you really gonna go to the cabinet?
10:41
Speaker 5: They say peanut butter and bananas. So you don't want
10:43
Speaker 5: to be the one to let everyone down. I understand
10:44
Speaker 5: what you're saying.
10:45
Speaker 2: The thing is, I don't have my my Celsius or
10:48
Speaker 2: my diet mountain dewheaded, my mourning beverages, my morning weapons.
10:53
Speaker 2: You guys, could you put away the coffee because that's
10:55
Speaker 2: probably Is it tougher to kick caffeine than food? Oh well,
11:00
Speaker 2: that's a part of that. I think the headaches would
11:02
Speaker 2: come more from the caffeine withdrawal than the food withdrawal.
11:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's where the gut pains, and like the me
11:08
Speaker 5: griping and bitching and moaning would be the tougher part
11:10
Speaker 5: about the hunger. Well, the caffeine is the one where
11:13
Speaker 5: the headache come.
11:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll all be if you think maybe if you
11:16
Speaker 2: could just drink the coffee and stuff like that.
11:18
Speaker 3: Well, and that's where you know, with a lot of
11:20
Speaker 3: the internet and fasting that that we had done or
11:22
Speaker 3: and I had done with Milwaukee a loss too. It's
11:25
Speaker 3: actually kind of a natural diuretic, I believe the way,
11:28
Speaker 3: especially when you don't add you know, all the cream, sugar,
11:31
Speaker 3: splendor and all the stuff that makes it taste really
11:33
Speaker 3: really good, and you just drink the coffee for what
11:35
Speaker 3: it is, coffee.
11:36
Speaker 2: It's actually decent for you.
11:38
Speaker 3: If I think my thing is if I could find
11:42
Speaker 3: some legitimate, data driven evidence that this is gonna help me,
11:47
Speaker 3: I might convince myself I could do it.
11:49
Speaker 2: All right. You have the science, I have medical you
11:52
Speaker 2: have medical people in your family.
11:54
Speaker 4: I say you consult.
11:55
Speaker 3: Because I can't imagine a lot of people sitting there
11:57
Speaker 3: saying you should just starve yourself for three days is
12:00
Speaker 3: healthy thing.
12:00
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I mean, I guess it's all.
12:03
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not going to really hurt you.
12:05
Speaker 3: Well yeah, but a lot of things don't really hurt me.
12:07
Speaker 3: But I don't do them, you know what I mean.
12:08
Speaker 2: But if it did, But if the study shows that
12:12
Speaker 2: like a seventy two hour fast reduces your chance of
12:14
Speaker 2: getting cancer by like any percentage, isn't it's somewhat tempting.
12:19
Speaker 2: Once a year, agree, people fast during Ramadan, people fast
12:23
Speaker 2: and religious stuff. I mentioned l I'm wondering what what
12:26
Speaker 2: has anybody out there giving up anything for lent that
12:29
Speaker 2: there need a challenge, that they need to support group
12:31
Speaker 2: eight seven seven seven Nicolay, I'm.
12:34
Speaker 4: Talking text on because I think the Bucks gave up.
12:36
Speaker 2: Winning games for that. Yeah, I think that was the key.
12:39
Speaker 2: That was key. No thank you, guys, No thanks, We're
12:41
Speaker 2: good now We're not gonna win anymore. But this is
12:43
Speaker 2: the time of sacrifice for many. It's also the time
12:46
Speaker 2: of fish fries on Friday and sometimes on Wednesday. Yeah. Oh,
12:50
Speaker 2: people are having them all day. This big fish has
12:53
Speaker 2: kid decided.
12:53
Speaker 3: That last night, in the middle of bedtime, you know what,
12:55
Speaker 3: I need fish sticks?
12:56
Speaker 2: Oh thanks, But that's awesome.
12:58
Speaker 3: That's a great smell to go about your worst nightmare, Billy,
13:01
Speaker 3: just the worst due that's the one that'll keep you
13:03
Speaker 3: from eating. Correct, If people just cook seafood in your
13:06
Speaker 3: house all night for three days, all day and all night,
13:09
Speaker 3: you won't have any appetite. True or false. That's probably
13:12
Speaker 3: by yourself. It would probably I'm buying that.
13:14
Speaker 5: I'm buying that, especially if the scent is right near
13:17
Speaker 5: me the entire time.
13:18
Speaker 2: You have to be away from temptation you sent all
13:22
Speaker 2: over the place. If the water fast, I'd be interested, Like,
13:25
Speaker 2: what's the average weight loss in three days of not
13:29
Speaker 2: eating and then the first meal? Does it go right
13:31
Speaker 2: back on when you have some sodium or something that
13:33
Speaker 2: I'm getting because you lose a lot of water weight? Really?
13:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, for anybody who's made weight and cut waight for wrestling.
13:39
Speaker 2: Oh you see those guys with the six sweatsuits on
13:41
Speaker 2: and the sauna doing jumping jacks and stuff. Stuff like that.
13:44
Speaker 3: All my buddies after school running around the school always.
13:47
Speaker 2: With garbage bags on. Oh yeah, you know. Yeah? All right,
13:49
Speaker 2: So Justin and Jacksonville on the talking text line the
13:51
Speaker 2: seventy hour fast, you can only do water and electrolytes
13:54
Speaker 2: coffee black or broth.
13:56
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, a little loophole, but it's like.
14:00
Speaker 2: It's basically liquid only and no obviously, no sugar nothing.
14:04
Speaker 4: I think we should try it ptain white.
14:06
Speaker 2: I did it eighty six hour water fast, and I
14:09
Speaker 2: feel incredible. Obviously, I'm not a doctor. I love that
14:12
Speaker 2: being the tagline obvious, but I've been.
14:15
Speaker 5: Told by experts the water fasting can help significantly reduce
14:17
Speaker 5: the risk of cancer, Alzheimer's, and a ton of other
14:20
Speaker 5: health issues. So I like that where now it's going
14:22
Speaker 5: to be. It doesn't only it can only eliminate cancer.
14:26
Speaker 5: It can actually regenerate hair, grow and Alzheimer's, all kinds
14:29
Speaker 5: of stuff. It might completely change your entire life. I mean,
14:33
Speaker 5: this guy went from like four hundred pounds to about
14:35
Speaker 5: two hundred in this picture on a seventy two hour
14:37
Speaker 5: water fast, and that's pretty INCREDIBLETTY people.
14:39
Speaker 3: More tend to indulge after like once, the once, the
14:42
Speaker 3: that's the question, or your appetite than diminished. Like I'm
14:46
Speaker 3: with us, Canter, Hey, you know what, I'm twelve hours
14:49
Speaker 3: in already I got a head start on you, guys.
14:50
Speaker 3: I could just keep it going.
14:51
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I think you should just keep
14:53
Speaker 5: this going and let us know how it goes that
14:58
Speaker 5: the team, Yeah, well, won't jump on and.
15:01
Speaker 2: Let us know you're going to do this. Prepare target Garman.
15:07
Speaker 4: You would need three weeks to research it and get
15:10
Speaker 4: all the medical.
15:10
Speaker 2: Journals and make sure that you're not you're not going
15:13
Speaker 2: to compromise your health in any way compromise.
15:16
Speaker 3: I just want to like different strategies to go overcoming.
15:18
Speaker 5: But if you walk what if you walk in today
15:20
Speaker 5: back home and Lars like, hey, I heard you talking
15:22
Speaker 5: about that water fast.
15:23
Speaker 2: Let's do it. That's a great idea. Hard to do with.
15:28
Speaker 3: No, you can't people, You can't have both people in
15:30
Speaker 3: the house doing it. You almost have to, Yeah, I
15:33
Speaker 3: think you all have to, because then both people are
15:35
Speaker 3: gonna be like weight loss.
15:38
Speaker 2: I mean, you're you're only making one dinner stuff. But
15:41
Speaker 2: if you almost had that, you need that support because
15:43
Speaker 2: if she's growing up pork chops and stuff and roasted
15:45
Speaker 2: potatoes and you're in the middle of the fast and
15:47
Speaker 2: you can't eat, yeah, that's that's cruel and unusual punishment.
15:50
Speaker 2: It was to the point where my wife would go
15:52
Speaker 2: to Chick fil A and throw the bag in the garbage,
15:54
Speaker 2: so like I didn't even see it.
15:55
Speaker 5: Yeah right, that's that's that's that's what's up. So I
15:58
Speaker 5: would I would counter that arm and I think you
15:59
Speaker 5: do need a support system.
16:01
Speaker 2: I think you do it again. This is the team
16:03
Speaker 2: part of it. Like it.
16:04
Speaker 5: It's easier, but maybe we're and Arman is in Olympic mode, right,
16:08
Speaker 5: so he's in this is all for one, all for all,
16:11
Speaker 5: and he's just believing that it's an individual thing.
16:14
Speaker 4: Now, this is a process. So the entire I'm torn.
16:17
Speaker 4: I leave the show today and I go and get
16:20
Speaker 4: these lap done.
16:20
Speaker 2: And then I was like, all right, so I'm gonna
16:21
Speaker 2: go get myself a bacon egg and she's bagel and
16:25
Speaker 2: break the fast. So the question is, if you run
16:27
Speaker 2: a fast for any length of time, what's your first meal.
16:29
Speaker 2: It's the opposite of the last meal. When you're on
16:31
Speaker 2: death row, like you haven't eaten for seventy two hours
16:35
Speaker 2: and you're gonna crush it like that. They would probably say,
16:38
Speaker 2: have some fruit, maybe some toast, maybe a banana, just
16:43
Speaker 2: get yourself rolling a little bit, rolling a little bit.
16:45
Speaker 2: But if you you know, like your first signature destination
16:49
Speaker 2: and I'm going like the half and half speed queen
16:53
Speaker 2: ribs and shoulder combo barbecue pork, shoulder and ribbon. Yeah.
17:01
Speaker 5: And and you know, since it is the start of
17:03
Speaker 5: the new league year here today basically with the NFL
17:06
Speaker 5: combines starting in Indianapolis and Brian Gudacus talking in a
17:09
Speaker 5: few hours from right now, I keep seeing people post
17:11
Speaker 5: pictures of Saint Elmo. Yeah, and here's the here's the
17:16
Speaker 5: complete caveat to the part of the seafood. The only
17:19
Speaker 5: seafood I will eat is that shrimp cocktail at St Alms.
17:22
Speaker 5: Oh nice, Okay, yeah, people hate it, and people it
17:27
Speaker 5: is a right, But damn does that You want to
17:29
Speaker 5: talk about a fast and you want to talk about
17:31
Speaker 5: cleansing yourself?
17:31
Speaker 2: That is so spicy. Man.
17:33
Speaker 5: You walk in there in the middle in late partition
17:35
Speaker 5: of February, and you might have a little bit of
17:37
Speaker 5: a head cold, you might have a little something going
17:39
Speaker 5: on in your sinuses. Maybe it never really fully got
17:41
Speaker 5: over that sinus infection you had six weeks ago. Over
17:45
Speaker 5: everything after two bites of that shrim cocktail is so spicy.
17:48
Speaker 3: And the thing is they sell it it costco. You
17:53
Speaker 3: can sell that, You can sell that by that stuff.
17:56
Speaker 3: It's so spicy, but it's good. But it's like, but
17:58
Speaker 3: is it like the Chick fil a sauce where they
17:59
Speaker 3: tell you it's the same one good question?
18:01
Speaker 2: Really tastes the same.
18:02
Speaker 3: Well, it's like if you buy the Guardetto's ride chips
18:04
Speaker 3: in the ride chip only bag, it ain't the same.
18:06
Speaker 3: You got to have it in the mix. That's what
18:08
Speaker 3: makes it natural mix. You know, it's got to be
18:10
Speaker 3: part of the Guardetto sponsorship. I need something like.
18:16
Speaker 2: My dad out of town. People love Guardento's. You think
18:21
Speaker 2: we're the only the ones that like it. No, that's
18:23
Speaker 2: not what I said.
18:24
Speaker 5: I said you're the only people I ever hear talking
18:27
Speaker 5: about it. Not that people aren't talking about it now
18:29
Speaker 5: that people are enjoying them.
18:30
Speaker 2: I ranked all the.
18:31
Speaker 3: Peoples into hey, yeah, snacks around. Give me some Guardetto
18:37
Speaker 3: I forget anything else I do love. I ranked the
18:38
Speaker 3: pieces on Twitter. Once got no engagement, couldn't believe it unbelievable.
18:42
Speaker 5: If you would have put it, should Brandon I be
18:44
Speaker 5: a packer in there, maybe you would.
18:45
Speaker 2: Have gotten engaged. You would have gotten the engagement you're
18:48
Speaker 2: looking for.
18:48
Speaker 3: I should have put ham in Bears. I would have
18:49
Speaker 3: every every kid and palatine coming out my ass. That's
18:53
Speaker 3: what it is. But that's all right. They don't know
18:55
Speaker 3: what it's going to be like when I'm on my
18:56
Speaker 3: juice cleansed, I meant my water cleanse. When we start
18:59
Speaker 3: this water cleanse, I'm gonna be so on one, so irritable,
19:02
Speaker 3: so edgy.
19:02
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take it all out on Twitter. MU should
19:04
Speaker 2: go to the Guardetto's plant over on Sixth Street and
19:06
Speaker 2: just like you know something, factory seconds and done. That's
19:11
Speaker 2: a great idea, you know, day old rye chips. Yeah, oh,
19:15
Speaker 2: come on.
19:15
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, we went to the jelly
19:16
Speaker 3: Belly spot in Kenosha, you know, and they used to
19:19
Speaker 3: give them free samples. When he went through at the end,
19:21
Speaker 3: I remember thinking to myself, why don't I do this
19:22
Speaker 3: every day?
19:23
Speaker 2: Like a lot of people coming to.
19:24
Speaker 5: This that after you uh gave the poort tour guiy
19:28
Speaker 5: hell the entire time asking where the actual factory was.
19:31
Speaker 3: I didn't say it out loud to him, all right,
19:33
Speaker 3: I did think that the whole time, though. I Mean
19:35
Speaker 3: We're riding around the warehouse in a little trolley and
19:37
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is not a factory.
19:40
Speaker 2: This is, but it's okay. The product is still delicious.
19:44
Speaker 5: It is good, you know, always good. It's a great,
19:46
Speaker 5: great field trip when you're a kid. Him on the
19:48
Speaker 5: talking text sign said, uh, I'd do it with you, guys.
19:51
Speaker 5: He's all four of the seventy two hour water fast.
19:53
Speaker 5: But I picked up a Costco pot pie last night,
19:56
Speaker 5: and for that reason, I'm out, dude, pot Pie good
20:00
Speaker 5: Shepherd's Pie at Costco level, next level, next level. My god,
20:05

20:07
Speaker 5: a that was a different beast at the at the
20:09
Speaker 5: Costco lasagna last night.
20:11
Speaker 3: And also it's so indulgent, it's so I don't know, right,
20:14
Speaker 3: it's comfort food.
20:15
Speaker 5: Right, You're damn right, You're damn right, especially when we
20:18
Speaker 5: thought that we were into spring and we get blasted
20:20
Speaker 5: back in here next week. It's gonna be what fifty five,
20:23
Speaker 5: It's gonna be fifty five on Friday, and then it's

Speaker 5: gonna snow the next day day for Shepherd's Pie.
20:29
Speaker 2: Fifty Friday and thirty one in the fall. Spring happened

Speaker 2: under these days. Come on, if you really believed it
20:34
Speaker 2: was spring. No, you're a rookie. Nope. Eight seven seven
20:38
Speaker 2: seven nine one ninety seven. Here are we meandered through
20:41
Speaker 2: that first segment? Billy, how you feeling, Billy did? I'm
20:44
Speaker 2: feeling all right right now. Caffeine, the lack of caffeine
20:46
Speaker 2: will get me about. When Dolf gets here, I'll be
20:48
Speaker 2: dragging it comes in. There's any donuts around, I'm gonna
20:51
Speaker 2: freak out. Well, see, we don't know somebody brought in
20:53
Speaker 2: a sinker. I don't have blazers'. I don't think there's
20:56
Speaker 2: any crawlers. No, there's nothing around here. Good Now, the
21:00
Speaker 2: question was at nine o'clock, do I just when I
21:02
Speaker 2: finished the lab work?
21:03
Speaker 4: Do I just go get immediately going to get chicken?
21:06
Speaker 3: Mini's gonnas gonna send now close to Chick Road. That's
21:12
Speaker 3: a tough piece take me to. Yeah, there's there's gonna
21:15
Speaker 3: be a ten counter. We got the combine. We were
21:18
Speaker 3: talking about the combine today because the NFL. You're right,
21:20
Speaker 3: the NFL league year. Let's get it talking today. Come on, now,
21:23
Speaker 3: he's going to talk today. What would you ask God?
21:25
Speaker 3: What would you ask, goody? What's what are the topics?
21:28
Speaker 3: Ask him his cheap mealer and you might get asked that.
21:33
Speaker 2: All right, we are off and running, thank you for
21:35
Speaker 2: being up early with us, your early risers and socio
21:38
Speaker 2: passed waiting to get into the y. It's the huddle
21:40
Speaker 2: up Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. We're huddling up on a Tuesday.
21:56
Speaker 2: Club going up on a Tuesday. Billy Drew arm in
22:01
Speaker 2: the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, nine to twenty Milwaukee,
22:04
Speaker 2: ten seventy in Madison, worldwide on the iHeartRadio apps, streaming live,
22:09
Speaker 2: Facebook X and of course the YouTube combine is underway,
22:15
Speaker 2: kind of because I saw Nag's platting close table and
22:17
Speaker 2: his uh, his Saint Elmo's run.
22:20
Speaker 4: Billy, you've been to the combine?
22:21
Speaker 2: What's it like? That's something I've never covered. What's it
22:23
Speaker 2: like as a as a media scum pond scum media?
22:26
Speaker 2: What's it like to be there? What's it like to
22:28
Speaker 2: be in the belly of the beast or the NFL.
22:31
Speaker 2: It's not the same as the super Bowl week, but
22:33
Speaker 2: it's kind of like the next step down.
22:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, not the same as the super Bowl week, but
22:37
Speaker 5: a lot more relaxed than the super Bowl week, right,
22:39
Speaker 5: I mean, even though for thirty teams, super Bowl Week's
22:43
Speaker 5: nothing right, It's just get as much interviews, get as
22:47
Speaker 5: many interviews, get as much content, get as many conversations,
22:50
Speaker 5: and you know, glad handing as you can, and the
22:53
Speaker 5: combine comes to now everyone's taken their you know, ski break,
22:57
Speaker 5: or they've gone out to the desert, or they've gone
23:00
Speaker 5: out to Florida and they've warmed up.
23:02
Speaker 2: They went to Hawaii.
23:03
Speaker 5: So now the football folks are back ready to mingle
23:06
Speaker 5: again and hang out a little bit. They had their
23:09
Speaker 5: you know, three weeks with their families and back out
23:12
Speaker 5: to it. The interesting thing is everybody is just kind
23:15
Speaker 5: of wandering around, and I seems to me kind of
23:20
Speaker 5: like what people used to say the winter meetings like
23:22
Speaker 5: were like when you've told me some stories of what
23:25
Speaker 5: the Baseball Winter meetings were like. I didn't experience as
23:29
Speaker 5: much good access as you can. However, I just was
23:32
Speaker 5: like the fly on Nagler's wall, kind of followed around
23:35
Speaker 5: and found myself into a lot of different conversations that otherwise.
23:38
Speaker 3: Probably wouldn't have been in. So it's cool from the
23:41
Speaker 3: standpoint of seeing you know, decision makers out having dinner. However,
23:47
Speaker 3: it seems to be such a different event than it
23:51
Speaker 3: always has drew because I mean, it starts today with
23:54
Speaker 3: the conversations at the podiums, and then the conversation into
23:58
Speaker 3: you know, some offshoot hall way where the local guys
24:01
Speaker 3: will get forty five minutes to an hour with Goody,
24:04
Speaker 3: and then you know, the workouts start later into the week,
24:06
Speaker 3: and by that time there's the people that are working
24:09
Speaker 3: on the actual broadcast, but seemingly everybody else is gone
24:12
Speaker 3: at that time. And you know, for ten years ago,
24:16
Speaker 3: anybody that was associated with football decision making had to
24:20
Speaker 3: be in Indianapolis for the information. Now, I think that's
24:23
Speaker 3: definitely taken a little bit of a step back.
24:25
Speaker 2: The young guns, the guys that Michael Silva wrote about
24:28
Speaker 2: in his book The Why Is Everything, Shanahan, McVeigh, lafleur raheem, like,
24:33
Speaker 2: those guys just said it. We're not going We're not
24:35
Speaker 2: going to where. We're just gonna stay here and watch
24:36
Speaker 2: all this. That's for the bagheads and the player you
24:39
Speaker 2: get us. The groceries will cook the dinner.
24:41
Speaker 3: Yeah.
24:41
Speaker 5: And then there's also I mean there's some gms that
24:44
Speaker 5: I think like their most important thing, the thing that
24:46
Speaker 5: they talk about the most is the conversations that you
24:48
Speaker 5: can have with the players. That makes sense to me, right,
24:51
Speaker 5: Like However, it's fifteen minutes. How much can you actually
24:55
Speaker 5: get to know somebody in a fifteen minute setting?
24:57
Speaker 2: But I think you can.
24:59
Speaker 5: There's always one or two clear cut issues that you
25:02
Speaker 5: can have in a first impression. I think you can
25:04
Speaker 5: get those out of the way in those combines.
25:07
Speaker 2: And that we always hear about the crazy questions they
25:09
Speaker 2: try to get guys off their guard and stuff like that.
25:11
Speaker 2: And I saw Amy Trask, the longtime NFL official and
25:15
Speaker 2: so she's on on the X and posted on social
25:17
Speaker 2: that one of her uh scouts or something said that
25:21
Speaker 2: he asked a player, if you were vegetable, what kind
25:24
Speaker 2: of vegetable would you be? And he was like proud
25:25
Speaker 2: of that question. And she said when she heard him
25:27
Speaker 2: relay that story in her head, she immediately said, how
25:30
Speaker 2: much did I spend to send this guy to the
25:32
Speaker 2: combine for a week? What was his hotel? In his flight? Like,
25:34
Speaker 2: how much did I spend? This is what we're expensing,
25:37
Speaker 2: this is it that, this is what I'm this is
25:39
Speaker 2: what I spent the money on. And she started to,
25:41
Speaker 2: you know, recalculate the resource a lot.
25:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's funny, really, the funny thing in this
25:47
Speaker 3: day though in this day of the age and the
25:49
Speaker 3: sports in the NFL, where everybody's trying to get any
25:51
Speaker 3: possible as they can to try and win, and it's
25:54
Speaker 3: so important to teams, to coaches, the players. You you
25:57
Speaker 3: almost are surprised at not everyone's trying to find some
26:01
Speaker 3: way to get there, to try and find some angle
26:04
Speaker 3: that might help their team, to convince themselves that all
26:06
Speaker 3: these things are important. But you do wonder, like how
26:08
Speaker 3: much of a job fair aspect, like kind of feel
26:11
Speaker 3: is there to this where it's like you go to
26:12
Speaker 3: a job fair and it's like you might shake hands
26:14
Speaker 3: with somebody in front of their booth and get a
26:16
Speaker 3: little trinket for five minutes, but is it really are
26:18
Speaker 3: you really learning about them? Are they really learning about
26:20
Speaker 3: you other than just being there, networking and showing a face. Well,
26:24
Speaker 3: and that's where there's a lot of that arm and
26:26
Speaker 3: there's a lot of job fair ask praying that you
26:30
Speaker 3: interact with the right person and somebody is able to
26:33
Speaker 3: hit you with a job offer and you're able to
26:35
Speaker 3: go pro in something other than sports, or don't have
26:37
Speaker 3: to go pro in something other than sports, because you're
26:39
Speaker 3: still kind of holding onto that dream.
26:40
Speaker 5: There's a lot of hopeful scouts out there. There's a
26:42
Speaker 5: lot of hopeful position coaches out there, and a lot
26:46
Speaker 5: of guys doing whatever they can to be in the
26:48
Speaker 5: industry and to stay in it.
26:50
Speaker 2: I love it. I wish I was there. I you know, again,
26:53
Speaker 2: the bad scheduling and idiocy by me to be able
26:56
Speaker 2: to potentially miss it, but also difficulty being able to
26:58
Speaker 2: get down there and back up.
27:00
Speaker 5: But there's there's information to be had, there's a lot
27:03
Speaker 5: of good stories to be told. But there's also in
27:07
Speaker 5: the stuff that's more fun, and the stuff that's gonna
27:09
Speaker 5: probably matter a lot more to football fans is the
27:12
Speaker 5: stuff that we end up finding out about next week
27:15
Speaker 5: because coaches and gms that do go down there, and
27:19
Speaker 5: or more than that, gms and agents that are down
27:22
Speaker 5: there start laying some groundwork as to what we're gonna
27:25
Speaker 5: see in free agency in.
27:26
Speaker 2: A month start to chirp a little bit. Yeah, it
27:28
Speaker 2: starts to, it starts to It's like the fruit at
27:31
Speaker 2: the bottom of the yogurt. You stir it up, you know,
27:33
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, yeah, oh, this is a little bit
27:35
Speaker 2: better than I was thinking. Yeah, there is a little bit. Yeah,
27:37
Speaker 2: there's the blue blueberries and the strawberries at the bottom
27:40
Speaker 2: of the earth.
27:40
Speaker 3: Is there any value and I'm sure the old school
27:43
Speaker 3: Scouts and say this, I'm gonna play Devil's advocate. Is
27:45
Speaker 3: there a really deeper value in seeing guys in person athletically?
27:50
Speaker 3: What they do, you know, the forty times and things
27:52
Speaker 3: other than just seeing their numbers listen on a sheet,
27:55
Speaker 3: you know, because it's all recorded, right, So if you're
27:57
Speaker 3: looking for ris score, what do they talking about all
27:59
Speaker 3: the time? Or is it like the old school you know,
28:01
Speaker 3: I'm thinking of what's the movie with Amy at Trouble
28:03
Speaker 3: with the curve right where it's like, no, I gotta
28:05
Speaker 3: see it, I gotta feel it, I gotta I gotta
28:07
Speaker 3: get a sense of how the guy moves. And then
28:09
Speaker 3: maybe the old school Scots because I was there with
28:11
Speaker 3: my own eyes, I saw it and therefore I caught
28:13
Speaker 3: an edge on somebody.
28:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think.
28:15
Speaker 5: Those old school Scout parts where it's like, uh, in Moneyball,
28:19
Speaker 5: what you should see his girlfriend?
28:20
Speaker 2: And you know, I gotta hear the crack of the bat.
28:23
Speaker 2: Those guys are seeing that. They're doing a lot more
28:26
Speaker 2: of that at the at the UH Senior Bowl where
28:29
Speaker 2: you're able to see them in a practice setting, or
28:31
Speaker 2: you know, going.
28:32
Speaker 4: To games that road days even cro days, Like.
28:37
Speaker 2: I think you're right, Billy, Like, doesn't don't you get
28:39
Speaker 2: more out of going to games thousand? But they can
28:42
Speaker 2: just see film? So why does it? Why does a
28:43
Speaker 2: guy need to be in the box because you've been there,
28:46
Speaker 2: it is, it's a different experience. You can watch the guy.
28:48
Speaker 2: How does it go about warm ups? Uh?
28:49
Speaker 3: Huh?
28:49
Speaker 2: How is he on the sideline? When I'm watching the guy,
28:51
Speaker 2: It's like I'm watching the stuff that you know, might
28:53
Speaker 2: not catch on tape that you can get from being
28:56
Speaker 2: in the venue. So I get the value of having
28:59
Speaker 2: scouts because of baseball teams now they're advanced in the playoffs,
29:02
Speaker 2: you see the press boxes before games get more crowded
29:04
Speaker 2: because there's advanced scouts. Whereas during the season, if you're
29:08
Speaker 2: getting ready for a three game series and Bars are
29:09
Speaker 2: playing Baltimore's the one time they're gonna play, it's.
29:12
Speaker 4: Like birds will just scout that on video. Yeah, one
29:14
Speaker 4: hundred percent.
29:15
Speaker 2: Playoffs, you start to fan out and you start to
29:17
Speaker 2: look for every edge, and you start to have your
29:19
Speaker 2: scouts ask idiot writers like me, what's going on with teams?
29:22
Speaker 2: And like they around, they poke around to get it
29:24
Speaker 2: for me. They look like you said, they're looking for
29:26
Speaker 2: every edge, every no stone unturned.
29:29
Speaker 5: And I think now you're hearing probably and I would
29:32
Speaker 5: assume in these back and forth there's a lot less
29:34
Speaker 5: numbers being exchanged because that just allows you now an
29:37
Speaker 5: extra three weeks to go shop them around and see like, hey,
29:40
Speaker 5: this is what my guy could be getting here, this
29:41
Speaker 5: is what they could getting here. But like going to games,
29:43
Speaker 5: I think of a couple of years ago when Alabama
29:45
Speaker 5: was at Camp Randall and all of a sudden walk
29:48
Speaker 5: in by the by the Brons, uh get the halftime
29:52
Speaker 5: brought actually actually a pregame brought there at that point,
29:55
Speaker 5: and uh, right in front of me getting a brought
29:57
Speaker 5: with John Schneider, general manager of the Seattle Seahawks. He
30:00
Speaker 5: was looking at Milroe on the other side and ended
30:03
Speaker 5: up drafting him in the third round. But they were
30:05
Speaker 5: all there for two They were there for the first quarter.
30:08
Speaker 5: They wanted to see how you interact during training or
30:11
Speaker 5: during the pregame moemost, they wanted to see how you
30:13
Speaker 5: worked through that time. There's also then a aspect of
30:18
Speaker 5: earlier in the season. You almost see more scouts in
30:21
Speaker 5: a lot of those games drew because as much as
30:24
Speaker 5: you can see and and still get film from the
30:27
Speaker 5: guys that play at South Dakota or the guys that
30:29
Speaker 5: are playing at Western Michigan, there's always one or two
30:31
Speaker 5: prospects there. They want to see how those guys are
30:33
Speaker 5: playing against the upper echelon teams and how they're handling
30:37
Speaker 5: the environment. So there's that. To me, Arman, is the
30:40
Speaker 5: old school. I got to see you in my own eyes,
30:42
Speaker 5: they're doing that at games because then those guys would
30:45
Speaker 5: then say this is this is the underweld? What what
30:50
Speaker 5: am I? When is he gonna? When is he broad
30:52
Speaker 5: jumping in a football game? I don't see you lining
30:54
Speaker 5: up going one, two, three and seeing if you can
30:56
Speaker 5: jump ten feet And.
30:56
Speaker 3: Maybe people would have like rolled their eyes of this,
30:58
Speaker 3: but I see a lot of it is like a
31:00
Speaker 3: lot of I don't want to say fake hustle, but
31:02
Speaker 3: maybe extra No, that's what you want to say. You're
31:05
Speaker 3: just going to try to find a different way. But
31:06
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's totally because I do think
31:08
Speaker 3: it's not fake. Like I think these guys are hustling
31:11
Speaker 3: and they do want to work hard, but a lot
31:13
Speaker 3: of it might be unnecessary, Like if you have your
31:15
Speaker 3: own stop watch, but they're gonna list the time right there.
31:17
Speaker 3: Why you Why are you keeping your own time with
31:19
Speaker 3: a guy like a hundred guys with you know, it's
31:21
Speaker 3: like the old Baseball Scout where one hundred guys at
31:24
Speaker 3: speed guns.
31:24
Speaker 2: Because you don't trust the fifteen speed guns next.
31:26
Speaker 3: To you, just copy out the guy next to you,
31:28
Speaker 3: like you know what I mean, or just listen. You're
31:30
Speaker 3: at the official NFL Combine. They're gonna list everything, right
31:33
Speaker 3: you think.
31:34
Speaker 2: Somebody is gonna give you that information, but the NFL
31:37
Speaker 2: provides it, like the forty Times and stuff. Well that's
31:41
Speaker 2: why I yeah, I don't.
31:42
Speaker 5: I don't know that you actually have as many guys
31:45
Speaker 5: with a stop watch as you think. I don't know
31:47
Speaker 5: that there's as many guys in there now with all
31:50
Speaker 5: the radars want to feel pro days they might college
31:55
Speaker 5: might cook the books on the.
31:56
Speaker 2: Yeah that one for but like the NFL Combine, guys
31:59
Speaker 2: aren't doing that. That's what That's kind of what I
32:01
Speaker 2: was wondering, because I might be charting it down and
32:04
Speaker 2: reading it on an iPad, maybe catching up on some reruns.
32:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was that commercial where they use AI to
32:08
Speaker 3: find out who the best prospect is. Did you guys
32:10
Speaker 3: see that one there's an AI or or somebody chat TPT,
32:14
Speaker 3: tell me what's the guy the most projectedly like out
32:16
Speaker 3: as the top linebacker and then they figure it out.
32:19
Speaker 3: Then they'll fist bump each other. They found their next
32:21
Speaker 3: great player. And IBM got there because nobody else would
32:24
Speaker 3: have figured it out. I don't know, it's just there.
32:27
Speaker 3: And you know, you look at any NFL roster and
32:29
Speaker 3: there's like twenty five coaches. There's so many positions, and
32:32
Speaker 3: I'm like, do all these guys really do something important?
32:34
Speaker 3: But when you're keeping score and you want to win,
32:36
Speaker 3: and winning is so important the NFL to a lot
32:38
Speaker 3: of people, I get it, you're gonna try. And I
32:40
Speaker 3: don't even know that. It's just the team the games
32:42
Speaker 3: are keeping. Obviously, the games keep scoring. That's what you
32:45
Speaker 3: get judged upon and get hired and fired upon. But
32:47
Speaker 3: like yesterday, the rush for information is out there, PEP.
32:52
Speaker 3: There is a crazy, insatiable thirst for football conversation. Like
32:56
Speaker 3: dan Orlowski puts out yesterday, like hey, I'm throwing to
32:58
Speaker 3: dig in the first five games of the and Doza tape,
33:00
Speaker 3: Like not as good as I thought.
33:02
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, somebody say, there's what's wrong about
33:04
Speaker 2: the national experts? How old or do you not know
33:06
Speaker 2: and haven't studied one of the best prospects in the
33:09
Speaker 2: draft already? Bob?
33:11
Speaker 5: The super Bowl is fifteen days ago. Yeah, you're right, Like,
33:14
Speaker 5: I mean we're watching the NFL. Yeah, which worst job?
33:17
Speaker 5: Two months away from them going up there and reading
33:20
Speaker 5: these names off a good point in Pittsburgh. There's a
33:23
Speaker 5: long time here that we still have to fill uh
33:25
Speaker 5: with more conversations so.
33:27
Speaker 2: We can we can all get there. We got time,
33:30
Speaker 2: but it does start here.
33:31
Speaker 3: So it's more for media and the analyst to get
33:33
Speaker 3: content less so than Yeah, that's that great point.
33:37
Speaker 4: Is shoveling coal into the furnace.
33:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, this to me, Drew, like when you made the
33:41
Speaker 5: story or you told us the story of all of
33:43
Speaker 5: a sudden, you piece together a four player Brewer trade. Yeah,
33:47
Speaker 5: that all of a sudden was about the supers.
33:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, like this is where you want to find sources
33:52
Speaker 2: to be able to go through it, and also maybe
33:54
Speaker 2: we want you to manufacture some conversations because we are
33:57
Speaker 2: waiting for somebody to figure.
33:58
Speaker 3: Out where's her cousin like order next year. Oh my goodness,
34:02
Speaker 3: is Aaron Rodgers gonna play? You want to start finding
34:04
Speaker 3: some of these little rumblings.
34:05
Speaker 2: I've got some ideas on Elik Willis, some wild salary
34:09
Speaker 2: projections on Elie numbers. Here's one for you, and it's
34:12
Speaker 2: a little tease because we'll start buying or selling in
34:14
Speaker 2: about twenty minutes. You buying or selling that. Given in
34:17
Speaker 2: the same circumstance, with the same surroundings, environment and everything,
34:22
Speaker 2: Malik Willis wins you more games than Francisco Mendoza, same
34:27
Speaker 2: coaching staff, like because it's it's hard because they're going
34:30
Speaker 2: to go to different circumstances and I've raiders. But if
34:35
Speaker 2: you gave gave the keys to either one of those
34:37
Speaker 2: guys in the same circumstance, with the same coaches, teammates, surroundings, Uh,
34:42
Speaker 2: who wins more games?
34:43
Speaker 5: I would think Willis because he's learned more in the NFL, right,
34:47
Speaker 5: Like he's got the more of.
34:48
Speaker 4: The inst of us in year one, But what about
34:51
Speaker 4: over five years?
34:52
Speaker 2: Right?
34:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's like there's the thing.
34:54
Speaker 5: And and and how much better can Mendoza be in
34:57
Speaker 5: that building? And how much it Tom Brady just salivating
35:01
Speaker 5: to have himself a Francisco Mendoza that all he can
35:03
Speaker 5: see is the AI twenty year version clone of him
35:07
Speaker 5: sitting there he had cooked up in his basement.
35:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, giddy up, giddea up. Hey, we're off and running,
35:12
Speaker 2: shooting shirts are off. I'm still starting to get a
35:14
Speaker 2: little hungry, starting to get a little caffeine fun. It's
35:18
Speaker 2: got a long way to go.
35:19
Speaker 6: You're twelve hours in, You're almost three hours to go
35:24
Speaker 6: till fast three hours ago, till the blood work, and
35:27
Speaker 6: then then we'll decide game day decision about whether I
35:30
Speaker 6: keep it going or not.
35:31
Speaker 2: I'm betting the under, just saying game day. Men's might
35:36
Speaker 2: be some Chick fil A and some glazers in my future.
35:39
Speaker 2: The Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin Tuesday edition of The
35:46
Speaker 2: Huddle rolls along from headquarters Drew, Billy and Arman bringing
35:50
Speaker 2: it to you eight seven seven seven nine seven three
35:53
Speaker 2: gets you to the Nicola Law dot Com talk and
35:55
Speaker 2: text line. Share your thoughts with streamers. There's always the
35:59
Speaker 2: conversation on the YouTube stream chats, rolling baby chats, all
36:03
Speaker 2: going yeah, absolutely, it's a buyer cell Tuesday, We're gonna
36:07
Speaker 2: be spinning through your propositions, get those to us, and
36:09
Speaker 2: we'll kick them around, play with them like kittens with
36:11
Speaker 2: the ball of the yarn.
36:12
Speaker 3: Yeah.
36:12
Speaker 5: And like John said, isn't the combine really for guys
36:15
Speaker 5: that would get drafted day two in day three?
36:18
Speaker 1: Somewhat?
36:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, and absolutely so.
36:21
Speaker 5: There's also a lot of guys that move in and
36:23
Speaker 5: out of that first round over the next couple of days,
36:26
Speaker 5: not necessarily because it means that much, but that there's
36:31
Speaker 5: a possibility Like a JJ Watt was probably a second
36:34
Speaker 5: or third round pick before he went and tested through
36:37
Speaker 5: the moon at the Combine, and I think he ended
36:40
Speaker 5: up going what eleven or twelve, Like he shot up
36:43
Speaker 5: boards after what he did there, And there's a lot
36:46
Speaker 5: of guys that do that.
36:47
Speaker 2: What's the more frustrating thing as a fan and a consumer,
36:51
Speaker 2: is it like seeing guys rise and fall on the
36:53
Speaker 2: draft board Matt mythically, Like even like when the Hayes
36:57
Speaker 2: and the barn combines over, pro days are over and
36:59
Speaker 2: you still hear guys he's falling, and like it's agents speak, Yeah,
37:03
Speaker 2: GM speak.
37:04
Speaker 4: A lot of no one's giving any good information.
37:07
Speaker 2: That part of it, with the prospects and with the
37:08
Speaker 2: draft guys or free agency rumors. What's more frustrating when
37:12
Speaker 2: you're you're chasing your tail on free agency rumors or
37:15
Speaker 2: you know, if you're asking for a fan.
37:16
Speaker 3: For me, I think it's free agency because those are
37:19
Speaker 3: known quantities, at least more so in the NFL than
37:22
Speaker 3: than draft because like a lot of time, Yeah, I
37:25
Speaker 3: guess that's true, but you've seen them play in the league,
37:27
Speaker 3: or you do you know what they've done in the league.
37:28
Speaker 3: I mean, unless you watch a lot of college and
37:32
Speaker 3: draft and aalysis college football. I mean, even if you
37:34
Speaker 3: watch a lot of college it's still unknown about what
37:36
Speaker 3: guys will do in the league. So if I hear
37:38
Speaker 3: of a guy going up and down draft boards, there's
37:40
Speaker 3: still two factors. One it's like, well, I don't know
37:42
Speaker 3: if they'll go to my team anyway. And two it's
37:44
Speaker 3: an unknown quantity, so I don't know how much it'll
37:46
Speaker 3: affect what it is, like how much I emotionally invest
37:49
Speaker 3: in a guy going up and down a draft board, but.
37:51
Speaker 2: I don't even know how good it will be in
37:52
Speaker 2: the league.
37:52
Speaker 5: Right, Like, I love the draft because I love college football,
37:55
Speaker 5: so I love watching these I see so many of
37:57
Speaker 5: these guys play during the season and then you away
38:00
Speaker 5: seeing how it rolls this way. The free agency rumor,
38:03
Speaker 5: to me, drew the biggest issue is what Armon just
38:06
Speaker 5: said there is like they're in known quantity, but it's
38:09
Speaker 5: also what you've seen are their highlights in the NFL
38:13
Speaker 5: or the couple of numbers and seeing, well, this is
38:16
Speaker 5: what he's already done in the NFL. Therefore he is
38:18
Speaker 5: going to absolutely do that when he rolls into town,
38:21
Speaker 5: which is very rarely what happens because a lot of
38:24
Speaker 5: times once you hit free agency in the NFL, there's
38:26
Speaker 5: a reason you hit free agency.
38:27
Speaker 2: In the NFL.
38:28
Speaker 5: The team's hoping that you hit free agency and they
38:31
Speaker 5: have made the conscious decision that they no longer want
38:34
Speaker 5: you to play for them for the kind of inflated
38:36
Speaker 5: number that you're about to get. So I think the
38:38
Speaker 5: free agency one I kind of laugh at more. The
38:42
Speaker 5: draft one irritates me more because of what you said there.
38:46
Speaker 2: There's nothing else we can be doing.
38:48
Speaker 3: There's no conversation that they've had, they've already gone on
38:51
Speaker 3: all their thirty visits. We're two weeks away from the draft.
38:54
Speaker 5: You're just trying to politic and make sure that a
38:56
Speaker 5: running back is actually getting drafted in the first round.
38:59
Speaker 2: Right, So if you interview guy, it's a little bit
39:01
Speaker 2: like what's going on with recruiting now and guys taking
39:04
Speaker 2: visits and stuff because you didn't If a guy combine,
39:06
Speaker 2: you like them, then you bring them to your facility.
39:08
Speaker 2: But some of that is smoke to get throw teams
39:10
Speaker 2: off the trail of what you might do, right, And
39:13
Speaker 2: so I wonder if other teams even pay attention to that,
39:16
Speaker 2: Like what are the teams is he visiting? Are they thinking?
39:17
Speaker 2: Are they interested in him like they brought him in
39:19
Speaker 2: for a visit and they pick ahead of us like
39:21
Speaker 2: we should do. Then does that make us want to
39:23
Speaker 2: itch to trade up or do they even do they
39:26
Speaker 2: even buy into that smoke? I don't know.
39:28
Speaker 3: And maybe it's just because there's so many of these
39:31
Speaker 3: guys know each other so much, Like I don't know
39:34
Speaker 3: that there's as much like paper trail covering as maybe
39:37
Speaker 3: there once was, right because, like you said, all of
39:39
Speaker 3: this more everybody knows where all of it is. Everyone
39:41
Speaker 3: knows who actually is there.
39:42
Speaker 5: And at the end of the day, if you like
39:44
Speaker 5: somebody and you want them to be a part of
39:46
Speaker 5: your team, you should go and make sure that you
39:48
Speaker 5: get them right, Like, and I think you have enough
39:50
Speaker 5: backed information. You know, for sure people know that the
39:54
Speaker 5: agents are going to always inflate where and how many
39:56
Speaker 5: teams are talking to them, and how excited teams are
39:59
Speaker 5: for them. I think they have a pretty good ballpark of.
40:01
Speaker 3: This guy's going to go in the fifties and if
40:04
Speaker 3: we want to get you know, or Brian Branch in particular,
40:07
Speaker 3: we want to go get Brian Branch, whether the Detroit Lions,
40:08
Speaker 3: we better go to forty five and get him with
40:11
Speaker 3: the from the Packers, they can have forty nine.
40:13
Speaker 2: We'll figure that one out. It's more about, like you
40:15
Speaker 2: scout other teams draft tendencies and you know their needs
40:18
Speaker 2: right and then yeah, but and I think how much
40:21
Speaker 2: of it is also the fact that like the area
40:24
Speaker 2: of scouts and the way that's divvied up, the way
40:26
Speaker 2: they carve up the duties.
40:27
Speaker 4: Like you're if you're.
40:28
Speaker 2: Scouting a guy, you're watching his games and you're hanging
40:30
Speaker 2: around and you're going to that conference and you're following
40:33
Speaker 2: that player, and there's guys from other teams following that player,
40:36
Speaker 2: and you go have beers with them after you know,
40:38
Speaker 2: you're having drinks at the hotel bar because you're all
40:40
Speaker 2: at the same crappy hotel or go at the rental
40:42
Speaker 2: car counter. How much where is that the nexus of
40:45
Speaker 2: information where guys find out like, oh, yeah, I really
40:49
Speaker 2: like this guy, but my GM doesn't. You know, he's
40:51
Speaker 2: not listened to me. He wants to take a corner.
40:53
Speaker 2: Like how much of that? See?
40:54
Speaker 4: And that's that level. Yeah, you know, I think the germs.
40:58
Speaker 5: Actually going and I think those guys would actually get
41:00
Speaker 5: ticked if they're not getting listened to in the room.
41:03
Speaker 2: The recreational ragging among Scouts is probably where a lot
41:08
Speaker 2: of that stuff. And then and then is that they
41:13
Speaker 2: use that And then if you get information from a
41:16
Speaker 2: guy who's had one too many or something, you tell
41:18
Speaker 2: your GM, like they're not going to take his guy,
41:20
Speaker 2: they're gonna taking that other guy.
41:23
Speaker 3: Well, that's not much different for like the old days
41:25
Speaker 3: for the writers, right of sourcing and and and kind
41:28
Speaker 3: of farming for information that way, right, Dure, that's just
41:30
