Speaker 1: It's the Thursday edition.
0:01
Speaker 2: No check that, it's the game day edition of The
0:04
Speaker 2: Huddle on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. That's right after oh
0:10
Speaker 2: so many days wandering in the wilderness, We've got Green
0:12
Speaker 2: Bay Packers professional tackle football this evening. Now it's preseason
0:17
Speaker 2: professional tackle football. Kind of an important caveat there, large
0:22
Speaker 2: one to put in.
0:23
Speaker 1: Yes, it is, it is, it is.
0:25
Speaker 2: Nonetheless, the Packers will be cavorting on national television.
0:28
Speaker 1: We're here for it.
0:29
Speaker 2: Drew Wilson, Bill schmid Arman, Sorry, and we welcome all
0:32
Speaker 2: of our favorite Insomniac's.
0:36
Speaker 1: Early Risers sociopaths. Wait for the out club to open.
0:39
Speaker 2: Everybody who calls himself probably a five o'clock club member,
0:42
Speaker 2: welcome in. Let's get it today, and let's get ready
0:45
Speaker 2: to see real Green Bay Packers players playing football tonight
0:50
Speaker 2: and potentially for one last time, lining up against one
0:54
Speaker 2: of the greatest players in the franchise's history.
0:57
Speaker 1: Drew kickoffs are.
0:59
Speaker 2: Rarely, rarely do they live up to the billing, and
1:02
Speaker 2: this one most likely won't because we don't necessarily know
1:05
Speaker 2: if Aaron Rodgers will trot out in that eight jersey tonight.
1:08
Speaker 1: He might just have a sweet Hoodie on.
1:10
Speaker 2: There might be a lot of talk about how much
1:13
Speaker 2: Jordan Love might play.
1:14
Speaker 1: He might throw three passes.
1:16
Speaker 2: But there's going to be some brand and CSA sightings,
1:18
Speaker 2: a lot of good ones to discuss, and a lot
1:20
Speaker 2: of fun to watch coming up and listen to. Starting
1:22
Speaker 2: up at six oh baby Packers OT this evening Packers
1:26
Speaker 2: if you're listening to us in nine to twenty and
1:27
Speaker 2: Milwaukee rip off the Packers Day right there for ninety
1:31
Speaker 2: five seven as well. Statewide network will be on Packers OT. Locally,
1:35
Speaker 2: we'll have Russ Douglas. Doug Russell will fire up the
1:38
Speaker 2: programming day beginning at two o'clock.
1:43
Speaker 1: Better believe it, Yes, a Packer's Game too.
1:45
Speaker 2: Started as preview with Dennis Crousey and Mike Heller back
1:50
Speaker 2: in the fold, Wes Hodker, James Jones, and then we'll
1:54
Speaker 2: helm Packer's OT after we have Wayne and Larry and
1:59
Speaker 2: John Coon on the broad cast, along with a sprinkling
2:02
Speaker 2: of Shanna Quinn beautiful with us. I get to see
2:05
Speaker 2: her very often because our hours are different, but we
2:08
Speaker 2: get to hang out tonight here at headquarters watching the
2:11
Speaker 2: Packers play the Steelers, And is anybody else find it
2:14
Speaker 2: interesting here we are you know, Rogers, the vitriol's not there,
2:20
Speaker 2: the juice isn't there. It's the preseason, even if it
2:22
Speaker 2: was the regular season. Though he's been going. This is
2:25
Speaker 2: a fourth year and we were used to Jordan love.
2:28
Speaker 2: Now we've moved on and it's like seeing your ex.
2:31
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, we moved on. Happy now with our
2:34
Speaker 2: current relationship, situationship more or less, and wish.
2:38
Speaker 1: Him the best.
2:39
Speaker 2: And but the weirdness about Rogers, his McAfee things, and
2:44
Speaker 2: just the weirdness of as basic as is he going
2:48
Speaker 2: to play tonight? Like generally speaking in the NFL, they're like, yeah,
2:50
Speaker 2: that we're gonna play this guy this many snaps, Like
2:52
Speaker 2: that's not you don't keep secrets. There's no subterfuge in
2:55
Speaker 2: the preseason right now. There's a lot of layers to this.
3:00
Speaker 2: Is Aaron Rodgers need to play Hell? No, No, are
3:03
Speaker 2: the Packers gonna under Jonathan Ganna going to unveil anything
3:05
Speaker 2: any wrinkle that's going to help him in a month?
3:08
Speaker 1: No?
3:10
Speaker 2: Does does he need to Does he need snaps under
3:13
Speaker 2: the lights at you know, a creezier Stateum No, he's
3:16
Speaker 2: played there before. He there's there's like, no benefit, you
3:19
Speaker 2: won't get him used to the stage of the Yeah,
3:21
Speaker 2: playing on national TV at night, Like, oh that he's
3:24
Speaker 2: never done that in his career twenty two years.
3:26
Speaker 1: Want to get you comfortable player?
3:28
Speaker 2: Intellectually, you can make no reason for him to play,
3:31
Speaker 2: like the culture of the team. Is it going to
3:33
Speaker 2: be impact if he plays? No, I just don't think
3:35
Speaker 2: there is any reason. Yeah. I mean it is a
3:38
Speaker 2: brand new head coach and a brand new coaching staff
3:40
Speaker 2: for the first time there in two decades. So like
3:43
Speaker 2: I think for for that part of the organization, there
3:45
Speaker 2: could be a little bit for the other guys, but
3:47
Speaker 2: for Aaron, But if you're going to be the quarterback
3:49
Speaker 2: of the team, then if there's something.
3:52
Speaker 1: To like that guy being a part of it.
3:54
Speaker 2: I get it that he's forty two years old and
3:56
Speaker 2: he's played, played everything, but he hasn't with these guys
4:00
Speaker 2: and with this organization, with this coach at this time.
4:03
Speaker 2: So I get it if he would play. But I
4:05
Speaker 2: also totally understand and that's where the weirdness comes in
4:09
Speaker 2: because you get Mike McCarthy saying, Oh, Aaron's begging to play,
4:13
Speaker 2: and then Rodger's like, Nah, that's not real.
4:15
Speaker 1: Football, I don't really care. It's like, if they play me, fine,
4:18
Speaker 1: if they don't play me, it doesn't matter. It's not
4:19
Speaker 1: real football.
4:20
Speaker 2: Well you know, but I like, this is the reality,
4:25
Speaker 2: exact same thing that you hear when Jordan love will
4:27
Speaker 2: go into week number three of Jordan Do you think
4:29
Speaker 2: that you should play?
4:30
Speaker 1: Do you want the guys to play? Well?
4:31
Speaker 2: I have their football players, so they should be ready
4:33
Speaker 2: to play. They're football players. They should be ready to play.
4:36
Speaker 2: And then how many times do they not play? So
4:37
Speaker 2: like again, if you're acting like there, this is the
4:40
Speaker 2: only time there's around the NFL or a weird.
4:44
Speaker 1: It's just this is how teams handle it.
4:47
Speaker 2: What's the weirdest thing in the NFL right now the
4:50
Speaker 2: fact that there's a freaking future Hall of Famer practicing
4:53
Speaker 2: with an NFL team and nobody seems to care.
4:56
Speaker 1: My man's just not under.
4:57
Speaker 2: Contract working out with the team at theacility right after
5:00
Speaker 2: practice in the same city that we're right now looking
5:04
Speaker 2: into a circumvention of the salary cap. Interesting deal, they're
5:08
Speaker 2: interesting thought. There interesting thoughts inside the same complex in Inglewood,
5:13
Speaker 2: on the same damn near plot of land. There's a
5:15
Speaker 2: lot of weirdness in the National Football League. This one
5:18
Speaker 2: is uh near the bottom on my on my totem
5:21
Speaker 2: pole of weirdness. So I just don't get why both
5:23
Speaker 2: teams can't decide like with a gentleman's agreement.
5:27
Speaker 1: We're just we just played Paddy Cake.
5:29
Speaker 2: I've already said I've said that for years that they
5:31
Speaker 2: should the quarterbacks wear red jerseys and.
5:33
Speaker 1: Then play them and they could make these things somewhat watchable.
5:36
Speaker 2: Well, you have joint practice for that, I know, but
5:38
Speaker 2: you have the but they can do it, and you know,
5:42
Speaker 2: you can make a case that joint practices are more
5:44
Speaker 2: compelling television broadcasts than the actual because they play on
5:48
Speaker 2: these national in these primetime slots.
5:50
Speaker 1: So I've said that for years.
5:51
Speaker 2: Put they were in jerseys and then just you know,
5:54
Speaker 2: find the hell out because the only thing that would
5:57
Speaker 2: keep you from playing at Jordan love Or and Aaron
5:59
Speaker 2: Rodgerson they are football players, is the idea that some
6:02
Speaker 2: Jabron who's trying to make a team, sure if you're
6:04
Speaker 2: of injury, yeah, who's playing you know, you know, trying
6:07
Speaker 2: to make a name for himself, will wipe them out.
6:10
Speaker 1: But yeah, that also too.
6:11
Speaker 2: Now we found out over the last week that it's
6:13
Speaker 2: not just no name guys that would do it. It's
6:15
Speaker 2: also like the best pass rushers in football of Max
6:18
Speaker 2: Crosby apparently just hits guys in red jersey's an entire career.
6:21
Speaker 2: It apparently now gets finally somebody with hundred millions said, buddy,
6:26
Speaker 2: you're not hitting me. I have a red jersey on
6:28
Speaker 2: for a reason. So everybody engagement end up being different.
6:33
Speaker 2: Kid in the sphere where you might hit their hand
6:35
Speaker 2: by I mean, I don't know if you ended up
6:36
Speaker 2: seeing hard knocks.
6:37
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald, Derek Hall.
6:38
Speaker 2: They just gave almost one hundred million dollars to one
6:40
Speaker 2: of their star edge rushers.
6:41
Speaker 1: He kicked them out of.
6:42
Speaker 2: Practice and said, hey, looks like I'm running the practice.
6:46
Speaker 1: Looks like I'm in charge. No, you're gonna stay away
6:48
Speaker 1: from the quarterback.
6:49
Speaker 2: And that's a defensive guy yelling at his defensive players.
6:52
Speaker 2: Stay off the quarterback, and if they don't listen to
6:54
Speaker 2: me back to back times, you're gone. You can't turn
6:58
Speaker 2: it off that easily. That's just the way they meant.
7:00
Speaker 2: The Wayne Simmons of the world. The whole thing with
7:02
Speaker 2: Rogers unless they meet in the Super Bowl, Packers and
7:06
Speaker 2: Steelers which.
7:07
Speaker 1: Are highly unlikely. No, but let's pray for that because
7:10
Speaker 1: that would be GOODU be good.
7:11
Speaker 2: There's well tonight if he plays a serious give you
7:14
Speaker 2: any sense of closure? Or I'm gonna ask Arman because
7:17
Speaker 2: he's the geekiest fan of all geeky fans, does give
7:20
Speaker 2: you any like tingle that Rogers is playing against the
7:23
Speaker 2: Packers and throwing passes? It'd give you a tingle, but
7:26
Speaker 2: not a big, big overall closure like big moment. But
7:29
Speaker 2: if it wasn't Lambo, maybe a little bit more. But no, However,
7:33
Speaker 2: I would say it's still cool though, like it doesn't
7:36
Speaker 2: have to be. It reminds me this is the goofiest
7:38
Speaker 2: goofiest example. It's like when Jeff Saturday in the Pro
7:41
Speaker 2: Bowl took that snap, changed sides and took that snap
7:44
Speaker 2: from Peyton.
7:45
Speaker 1: It was a cool moment.
7:46
Speaker 2: For those guys and for the fans, but it was goofy,
7:48
Speaker 2: but it was kind of cool for a second. Cool
7:50
Speaker 2: for a second. I mean, that's all we were living in.
7:53
Speaker 2: Though we're living for moments in life, all right. This
7:55
Speaker 2: is a moment like we could be out there, take
7:57
Speaker 2: a couple of passes, come off and give up, maybe
7:59
Speaker 2: give a no players. Okay, but you will be marginally
8:03
Speaker 2: not even thrilled. You will not even be like at
8:06
Speaker 2: half mast in terms of your two missles. I'll be
8:09
Speaker 2: more interested in him in that series than anybody else
8:12
Speaker 2: would well here.
8:13
Speaker 1: So okay, that's my point.
8:15
Speaker 2: I guess I'm looking at the counterbalance of it, though,
8:17
Speaker 2: Like the excitement you feel if you see Aaron Rodgers
8:21
Speaker 2: play this series or maybe two against the Packers tonight,
8:24
Speaker 2: that will Wayne, How does that compare to the disappointment
8:29
Speaker 2: you'll feel if he doesn't play.
8:31
Speaker 1: Oh no, I mean it's not yet.
8:33
Speaker 2: It's not like I'll so It's like there's a line
8:36
Speaker 2: and you're a couple of centimeters on one side of
8:39
Speaker 2: the line and a centimeter or two on the other
8:40
Speaker 2: side of the line. It's like, I don't care if
8:42
Speaker 2: he plays. If he plays, that'd be kind of cool.
8:44
Speaker 1: I'll watch it like I'd always rather see interesting players
8:48
Speaker 1: on the field. But again, isn't the storyline.
8:50
Speaker 2: Don't we always say that the league is a soap
8:52
Speaker 2: opera about quarterbacks? So again, like whether or not it's
8:55
Speaker 2: an inch on one side or another, that position is
8:58
Speaker 2: totally different than everybody else.
9:00
Speaker 1: It draws way more way more eyes.
9:02
Speaker 2: It would be far different and so much better if
9:05
Speaker 2: it was at Lambo and Rogers met with the media yesterday.
9:07
Speaker 2: The Green Bay Media said it with Packers reporters and
9:10
Speaker 2: robbed Demofski wrote out it said how much different had
9:13
Speaker 2: he hoped it was in Green Bay?
9:14
Speaker 1: He said one hundred percent.
9:15
Speaker 2: When I heard it was possible for my two former
9:17
Speaker 2: to play my two former teams, I was really hoping
9:20
Speaker 2: this was gonna be in Green Bay, not just to
9:21
Speaker 2: go back to Lambo one more time, head out to
9:23
Speaker 2: Chives for dinner, maybe out to Green Bay Country Club
9:26
Speaker 2: for a quick nine or something. I was hoping it
9:28
Speaker 2: was going to be in Green Bay for a lot
9:29
Speaker 2: of reasons. But it was gonna be strange and being
9:31
Speaker 2: in that visitor's locker room. But I would have found
9:33
Speaker 2: my way over though, like so many former players over
9:35
Speaker 2: the years, see some of the guys, some of the trainers,
9:37
Speaker 2: equipment staff, all the people I really care about that
9:39
Speaker 2: still work there.
9:40
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:41
Speaker 2: I was definitely bummed out that we weren't in Lambeau
9:44
Speaker 2: for this one, and that was a massive drop of
9:46
Speaker 2: the ball by the NFL not to be able to
9:49
Speaker 2: just say, hey, why don't we just swap one of
9:52
Speaker 2: these things through. You guys get we'll make this date up.
9:55
Speaker 2: This will be in IOU. We'll make this date up
9:57
Speaker 2: coming up next year. But let's slide that thing over
9:59
Speaker 2: here for anything entertainment purposes. Only it's on the NFL network.
10:03
Speaker 2: ESPN would have been able to make that string be pulled.
10:06
Speaker 2: Now again, with all the caveats that there's to me,
10:09
Speaker 2: there's like no upside really for him playing The risk
10:12
Speaker 2: isn't worth the reward, and there's no no juice or not.
10:15
Speaker 2: You know, the fans in Pittsburgh, do they need to
10:17
Speaker 2: see him for a series or two, they'll they'll get over.
10:20
Speaker 2: That's the preseason. It's but you buy your ticket, you
10:22
Speaker 2: take your chances. Right, you're not you know you're not.
10:24
Speaker 2: You know you're gonna see understudies and reserves and guys
10:27
Speaker 2: that aren't Pottom of.
10:27
Speaker 1: The roster guys. But had the game in Ben and Lamba,
10:30
Speaker 1: would he have for sure played then?
10:32
Speaker 2: I think he for sure would have come out, come
10:33
Speaker 2: out and at least took the opening snat right, given it,
10:36
Speaker 2: given a first series.
10:39
Speaker 1: Series, come out in the middle and do a wave.
10:41
Speaker 2: Yes, but that's just it. You won't get that tonight.
10:44
Speaker 2: That's not on the table. So to me, it's like
10:46
Speaker 2: I'm going into the saying he ain't playing. Yeah, okay,
10:50
Speaker 2: I mean like again, they're also they're also in a
10:53
Speaker 2: spot where again they come in with a new coach.
10:55
Speaker 2: Like all the people that you said that don't need
10:57
Speaker 2: to see him play, I think the one guy that
10:59
Speaker 2: might want to players the Harley Success football coach.
11:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, like that for a season. So there's uh.
11:05
Speaker 2: And Mike has played people in the preseason, albeit until
11:10
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen when that one kind of shifted around, and
11:13
Speaker 2: you look into what they did in Dallas, they played
11:15
Speaker 2: a lot in the preseason under him as well, So like, uh,
11:19
Speaker 2: you look at some of the guys of how they
11:21
Speaker 2: do business. A lot of times they do it'll be
11:23
Speaker 2: interesting to see if he does. Yes, you are a
11:25
Speaker 2: thousand percent right, it will. It will not change how
11:28
Speaker 2: the rest of the game goes. But that's generally speaking
11:31
Speaker 2: for a preseason football because even Pat Mahomes probably plays
11:34
Speaker 2: more than any quarterback in the preseason. Last I checked
11:37
Speaker 2: his results in the regular season, we're pretty good. So
11:39
Speaker 2: maybe there's some kind of correlation there. Maybe I don't know,
11:43
Speaker 2: but he'll probably play the most out of anybody in
11:46
Speaker 2: maybe play three series in the first one, so we
11:48
Speaker 2: all understand what we're signing up for. To my opinion
11:51
Speaker 2: on this always has been this, like you can use
11:53
Speaker 2: discretion and it's smart to do that, you know, so
11:56
Speaker 2: you can you can play guys and try to keep
11:59
Speaker 2: them as much you can harm's way while still trying
12:01
Speaker 2: to get productive working. Because if you're just gonna bubble
12:03
Speaker 2: wrap him all the time, why even practice. And a
12:06
Speaker 2: lot of NFL teams don't practice as much as they
12:08
Speaker 2: used to.
12:08
Speaker 1: But you have to.
12:09
Speaker 2: You have to find a balance and a fine line
12:11
Speaker 2: between preparation and risk management. But there is a fine line,
12:15
Speaker 2: like it does go both ways. I mean, Aaron, I
12:18
Speaker 2: know it was just for fooling around and he wasn't
12:20
Speaker 2: getting hit, But Aaron was like playing defensive edge of
12:23
Speaker 2: practiceteelers practice like it might have been funny and I
12:26
Speaker 2: get it, and he wasn't getting touched and stuff like that, but.
12:30
Speaker 1: He was. I've had all these cut ups.
12:33
Speaker 2: But you can also when he's got the beanie, he's
12:35
Speaker 2: got the red beenia, but you can also call plays
12:37
Speaker 2: from that pretty much. We'll protect him from getting in
12:39
Speaker 2: harm's weight. You're not gonna call rollouts, but you can
12:42
Speaker 2: still get him a series or two or one series
12:45
Speaker 2: or three plays and make sure he's protected. So I
12:47
Speaker 2: think there's a fine line between totally not playing at
12:51
Speaker 2: all and finding a way to manage the risk because
12:54
Speaker 2: you they are going to prepare to play a season
12:56
Speaker 2: and whether or not, you know, people believe it. He
12:59
Speaker 2: can just wink up and run the offense. I know
13:01
Speaker 2: he can, but how effective can he be? How much
13:04
Speaker 2: does he want to get a sweat on a workout
13:06
Speaker 2: in That's always going to be the case. So I
13:08
Speaker 2: think it's okay if he plays.
13:10
Speaker 1: Well, we can't.
13:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can get your work out in the indoor,
13:12
Speaker 2: But I will the other the fascinating one going forward
13:18
Speaker 2: and to hear somebody do it like lead CBS football
13:22
Speaker 2: analyst JJ Watt yesterday on DP on these same airways,
13:26
Speaker 2: just a couple hours after we were done, he said,
13:28
Speaker 2: you got to play football to be good at football,
13:31
Speaker 2: So you got practice football to be good at football.
13:33
Speaker 2: Tans like, well, what did you do to maybe get
13:35
Speaker 2: get yourself out of a training camp at all? Hear
13:37
Speaker 2: yourself out of those practice if it sucks so bad?
13:41
Speaker 1: Jj Watt. Dude, do you think I.
13:43
Speaker 2: Was trying to get out of practice? Yeah, I was
13:45
Speaker 2: always about it. I hated it, but I was always
13:47
Speaker 2: about it. You got to be able to play to improve,
13:50
Speaker 2: and the math of the thirty reps in the preseason
13:54
Speaker 2: those guys stay healthier going forward. I'm very very interested
13:57
Speaker 2: to see where the NFL got that data and pumped
13:59
Speaker 2: out all their own NFL teams.
14:01
Speaker 1: I would I would just love to know. Very convenient
14:04
Speaker 1: to find.
14:04
Speaker 2: That data when you got to be able to cram
14:06
Speaker 2: in some more content and get all these games on
14:09
Speaker 2: your streaming package, make sure everybody can watch all of them,
14:13
Speaker 2: so we'll see. I would be really surprised though, if
14:17
Speaker 2: there's not a large sum of Packers starters, and if
14:20
Speaker 2: Jordan Love is out there playing, most likely the first
14:22
Speaker 2: team offensive line is going because you're not putting him
14:24
Speaker 2: behind some makeshift unit. I was going to say, who
14:27
Speaker 2: on the Packers has the status that you'd bubble wrap him.
14:31
Speaker 2: Zavy McKinney maybe potentially, but again I think they need
14:36
Speaker 2: in there. Ye all right, but then probably because of
14:40
Speaker 2: the injury stuff and like hurt probably, but he was
14:44
Speaker 2: also the driving force. He was the one that said
14:47
Speaker 2: during all of the offseason that he wants to play
14:49
Speaker 2: in the preseason. I think I think Zach Bockobwell is
14:52
Speaker 2: probably one of the reasons why they're playing more the preseason.
14:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll probably uh Well, I was just saying they'll
14:58
Speaker 1: bubble wrap him.
14:59
Speaker 2: But I'm just trying to think of any Are there
15:00
Speaker 2: any Packers who you'd know, like back in the day,
15:03
Speaker 2: they weren't gonna play Clay Matthews and they weren't gonna
15:05
Speaker 2: play Davante and they weren't gonna play. But is there
15:07
Speaker 2: anybody at that status because you know, do you sit
15:10
Speaker 2: Zaire Franklin? Uh? I think McKinney makes the most sense.
15:15
Speaker 2: I think Franklin will play because he wants. They'll want
15:18
Speaker 2: to at least do somewhat of the operation, maybe a
15:21
Speaker 2: little bit. Probably Devonte Wyatt's still returning. He hasn't he
15:24
Speaker 2: wants been a full go yet in team drills. Aaron
15:26
Speaker 2: Banks hasn't been a full go yet in team drills.
15:29
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you, I would be surprised if if
15:32
Speaker 2: Ziebach isn't playing tonight again just because of he He
15:36
Speaker 2: was one of the main reasons why and he was
15:38
Speaker 2: now for the last week or so been pretty much
15:40
Speaker 2: a full go in team drills. Josh Jacobs sting dub
15:42
Speaker 2: he won't go. Maybe you don't see Christian Watson, Jane Reed.
15:46
Speaker 2: Those are two guys. Yeah, those are side. They got
15:52
Speaker 2: some guys play, that's the thing. And I mean, if
15:55
Speaker 2: you guys played, Love's gonna be out there. I don't
15:57
Speaker 2: know that you're gonna throw it. Have him throwing to
15:59
Speaker 2: JM Michael Sturdvan Will Shepherd and Isaiah Nayer the whole time.
16:01
Speaker 2: That's the thing I mean. And also, I don't know. Yeah,
16:04
Speaker 2: we can debate this all day, but I want to
16:06
Speaker 2: win week one. I want to win Week two. Like
16:08
Speaker 2: we can debate all day what the impact is. Maybe
16:10
Speaker 2: there is, maybe there isn't. But if there's a way
16:12
Speaker 2: to help yourself get prepared for that game, I think
16:15
Speaker 2: you have to play a little bit. Now. The Packers
16:17
Speaker 2: were really prepared in the first two weeks last year,
16:19
Speaker 2: or he'sn't seemed that way. They played great, and then
16:21
Speaker 2: it wasn't the same the rest of the year, So
16:23
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think that was an issue
16:25
Speaker 2: last year. Recently, I mean, I'm looking at some of
16:28
Speaker 2: the top quarterbacks outside of Kansas City, right, because that's
16:31
Speaker 2: the outlier, but most top quarterbacks. Did Jordan Love play
16:35
Speaker 2: a snap last year? Jordan Loves played in all of
16:37
Speaker 2: his preseasons. Yes, he has played in the opener of
16:40
Speaker 2: every preseason as the starting quarterback and then.
16:42
Speaker 1: That's it and then shut it down. And then last
16:45
Speaker 1: last year. I know Dak hasn't played one since twenty nineteen.
16:48
Speaker 2: Last year he played, Yeah, after his ankle bent the
16:51
Speaker 2: wrong way that that was kind of the resident him.
16:54
Speaker 1: There are certain guys out here.
16:54
Speaker 2: He played against the Jets last year and then that's
16:56
Speaker 2: when he got dinged. So that was when he hit
16:59
Speaker 2: that hand on the helmet. They went one for five
17:02
Speaker 2: and he did not play the rest of the time.
17:05
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four, they played the first game of the
17:08
Speaker 2: preseason in Cleveland, had one series, drove down for a
17:12
Speaker 2: quick touchdown hit Don Tavian Wich three plays in, and
17:15
Speaker 2: then did not return for the rest of the preseason.
17:17
Speaker 2: So a lot of times they've played one game and
17:19
Speaker 2: then that's been that's been a game. One game, you know,
17:22
Speaker 2: one series. Again, it used to be the measure with
17:25
Speaker 2: one or two series. The first game, the second game
17:28
Speaker 2: you'd play like the first half. The third game, you
17:31
Speaker 2: touch the third quarter and get you'd go in for
17:32
Speaker 2: half time and come back out the little sweat going
17:34
Speaker 2: out a halftime.
17:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, you knew what that was like. And then you
17:36
Speaker 1: bubble wrap the fourth game.
17:38
Speaker 2: But so now that's completely out because you only have
17:40
Speaker 2: three and you have the controlled practice, the controlled scrimmage,
17:44
Speaker 2: which is basically like the week three now where that's
17:46
Speaker 2: where you guys will get a ladder. Yeah, and then
17:49
Speaker 2: they'll they'll bubble wrap them for the in the stadium.
17:51
Speaker 1: So that's changed.
17:52
Speaker 2: But so it's like the fluidity comes in weeks one
17:56
Speaker 2: and two now and most teams do do like the
17:59
Speaker 2: controlled scrimmage. There's not are there any outliers of teams
18:01
Speaker 2: that I believe every team is doing every practices. Yeah,
18:04
Speaker 2: and a lot of them are doing. And that's where
18:06
Speaker 2: the starters iron Sharpen's iron and you get the starters
18:08
Speaker 2: against the starters.
18:09
Speaker 1: They probably drew one of the only teams that are
18:11
Speaker 1: only doing one.
18:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. I mean, Robert Salad, his
18:14
Speaker 2: boy's doing three of them.
18:16
Speaker 1: You'd have thought they would have had one in Denver too,
18:18
Speaker 1: I would have thought.
18:19
Speaker 2: So Wayne did mention that of it being a long trip,
18:23
Speaker 2: and that seemed like it wore on the process and
18:26
Speaker 2: for Lafleur and everybody, because like, we got out there,
18:29
Speaker 2: we flew on Wednesday, then we had to practice on
18:32
Speaker 2: Thursday in the morning, recap, watch, wait, hang out Friday,
18:37
Speaker 2: then the game's late night Saturday. It's like I felt
18:40
Speaker 2: we were out there for a week and a half.
18:41
Speaker 2: So I wonder if that was a little bit of
18:43
Speaker 2: the separation for it. I would be surprised though, if
18:46
Speaker 2: they don't do multiple going forward. I mentioned like the
18:48
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans now granted new coach, new system, new offense,
18:51
Speaker 2: young quarterback, They're doing one for every one of their
18:54
Speaker 2: preseason games.
18:54
Speaker 1: They're like, we want to figure out who we got.
18:57
Speaker 2: And as as much as I've beat the drum for
18:59
Speaker 2: the should put those joint practice on TV, Maybe I
19:03
Speaker 2: don't want that because then they will become preseason games.
19:05
Speaker 1: Two point zero.
19:06
Speaker 2: We just can't listening to Brian Gudokuns, which she's at TV.
19:09
Speaker 2: He stopped by the Corey Banky Palace yesterday. Great conversation
19:14
Speaker 2: they get those guys had with him. Uh he and
19:16
Speaker 2: you mentioned he's like, listen our public practice we have
19:19
Speaker 2: thirteen of them.
19:20
Speaker 1: A lot of other teams have UH have like three.
19:23
Speaker 2: So there's a lot more opportunity for them to work
19:26
Speaker 2: on stuff behind closed doors and without cameras and stuff.
19:29
Speaker 2: That's one of the reasons why they freak out on
19:31
Speaker 2: filming so much, and one of the reasons why they
19:33
Speaker 2: probably want to see how many opportunities they can have
19:37
Speaker 2: uh under some camouflage to work on some of the
19:40
Speaker 2: stuff they want to have ready for week one. So
19:42
Speaker 2: they have some of those unscouted looks for the Minnesota Yeah,
19:45
Speaker 2: which is always we got to.
19:45
Speaker 1: Have that buzzword.
19:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have it looks, which is always the coaches, Sorry,
19:50
Speaker 2: guys like that.
19:51
Speaker 1: You're firing in that crank it up. We gotta go
19:54
Speaker 1: to break.
19:55
Speaker 2: But they're always worried about yeah, trying good things in secrecy,
19:58
Speaker 2: and they don't want we don't want people to know
19:59
Speaker 2: what we're doing. You have to be able to do things, yeah,
20:01
Speaker 2: and not get look not let people see them. NFL
20:04
Speaker 2: coaches will always football coaches will always be worried about
20:07
Speaker 2: that other teams spying on him and looking at him.
20:09
Speaker 2: He said, uh, wod he was mentioning. You used to
20:12
Speaker 2: make fun of Ted Thompson for looking over him, like, hey,
20:14
Speaker 2: there's somebody on the rush center.
20:16
Speaker 1: Go check out who that is. It's a constant paranoia.
20:18
Speaker 2: It's like then all of a sudden, I became the GM.
20:20
Speaker 2: I saw some guys on the rush center. Who that is?
20:24
Speaker 2: I mean we went to Cincinnati for enjoyed practice. He's like,
20:26
Speaker 2: they're about seven or eight skyscrapers around him. Was like,
20:29
Speaker 2: maybe I need to be a little less paranoid.
20:31
Speaker 1: I mean, going on.
20:32
Speaker 2: Starting little giants when Rick moranis uh called the cops
20:35
Speaker 2: on Ed O'Neill, first mine on the first mine on
20:37
Speaker 2: little kids, even though it was his brother and the
20:40
Speaker 2: other coaching other team coach and spying on his kids.
20:42
Speaker 2: With then Igo oh or men Classic eight seven seven
20:46
Speaker 2: seven nine Packers Tackle Football. The fact that we can
20:49
Speaker 2: talk about Packers Steelers tonight.
20:50
Speaker 1: Will delay us from talking about the Brewers and others.
20:55
Speaker 2: They're thanking us for yesterday at in San Sandy. Go
20:58
Speaker 2: on to Los Angeles today after just a sleepwalking series
21:02
Speaker 2: in San Diego. Hey, we can still win the series.
21:04
Speaker 2: We can still win the road trip.
21:05
Speaker 1: Yesterday.
21:06
Speaker 2: It was a crusher, though, what a crush it was? Emotionally, yeah,
21:09
Speaker 2: quite the bummer. We'll talk about all that and more.
21:11
Speaker 2: You're in the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.

22:33
Speaker 2: Radio network. I like that we're in the land of
22:35
Speaker 2: the jack Rabbits.
22:36
Speaker 1: Good.
22:37
Speaker 2: That good that Tucker Craft's home home state is able
22:40
Speaker 2: to listen to him dominate once we get some regular
22:43
Speaker 2: season games up there against the Minnesota Vikings.
22:46
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, yeah.
22:48
Speaker 2: Can you uh so? Yeah tonight? What else are you
22:51
Speaker 2: gonna watch? First of all, it's the first question is
22:53
Speaker 2: how much the starters play, and then after that we've
22:57
Speaker 2: talked about how the Packers don't have there's not a
22:59
Speaker 2: lot of of open competition like the on the edges
23:02
Speaker 2: there hardcore position battles. There's not as many as many
23:05
Speaker 2: hard core position battles. It's more about like, because we've
23:08
Speaker 2: seen some shuffling. But I still think Keishaw Nixon is
23:12
Speaker 2: gonna start.
23:13
Speaker 1: No, I would agree.
23:14
Speaker 2: Carson Valentine probably gonna start, but maybe we'll see, you know,
23:17
Speaker 2: you get a good and you get a good run.
23:19
Speaker 2: Look at Brandon c Say, you get a hopefully extended
23:21
Speaker 2: look at Marshaw Lloyd Drew in a game where he
23:24
Speaker 2: gets tackled to the ground and then has to pop
23:26
Speaker 2: back up.
23:26
Speaker 1: Those are good things to be able to see. Those
23:28
Speaker 1: are the things to watch.
23:29
Speaker 2: But what else are we going to be watching tonight,
23:30
Speaker 2: because again, everybody's vanilla and they We're not going to
23:33
Speaker 2: get much of a rid on Jonathan Gannon's approach because
23:36
Speaker 2: everybody just keeps everything just kind of bland, and that's
23:38
Speaker 2: by design.
23:39
Speaker 1: But you see players.
23:41
Speaker 2: Play, and you get about to get him out there
23:42
Speaker 2: and get them sweaty and stuff. I'm looking I think
23:45
Speaker 2: a lot. Well, how does Belton react to recent events?
23:49
Speaker 1: Yes, how does he play?
23:50
Speaker 2: And and I'm interested to see how they rotate Jagger
23:52
Speaker 2: Burton and Jacob Monk and maybe Anthony Belton over there
23:56
Speaker 2: right guard because that competition looks like it's very much
23:58
Speaker 2: wide open. Yeah, so there's that. And then how much
24:01
Speaker 2: did we said did they play Jayden Reid?
24:04
Speaker 1: Maybe not? Like do they probably not?
24:06
Speaker 2: He was dinged up him and him and Golden both
24:09
Speaker 2: missed the Monday practice, so I could very much see
24:13
Speaker 2: both of them end end up out. I would anticipate
24:17
Speaker 2: Golden would play at least the tick, but then Watson
24:21
Speaker 2: and Watson would play only with love. One good deep
24:24
Speaker 2: ball to love, and that's probably about it.
24:26
Speaker 1: Only with love, and then when love goes out, he'll
24:28
Speaker 1: go out.
24:29
Speaker 2: Very excited to see save on Williams though in that
24:30
Speaker 2: wide receiver room, if we're talking about it, Wayne and
24:33
Speaker 2: I have mentioned a lot of the guys who are
24:34
Speaker 2: battling for some of the final spots, but Williams is
24:37
Speaker 2: a guy that's probably battling more for an opportunity to
24:41
Speaker 2: get real looks and get real opportunities uh in game
24:45
Speaker 2: action because a year ago he was hampered by a
24:47
Speaker 2: foot injury for the majority in the back half of
24:49
Speaker 2: the year. He was still returning kicks even though he
24:52
Speaker 2: was walking around in a boot most of the week.
24:54
Speaker 2: So that was a very, very impressive showing he had
24:56
Speaker 2: a year ago. But he's been fully healthy and he's
24:58
Speaker 2: been flashing every days.
25:00
Speaker 1: So Monty Jackson drawn any attention.
25:02
Speaker 2: He has not really practiced much, Drew and there was
25:05
Speaker 2: a he hasn't haven't heard much. Pete Bardy asked, uh,
25:09
Speaker 2: Lafleur Tuesday. I believe it was uh, did Money Jackson
25:13
Speaker 2: have core muscle surgery? A long pause. Malford looks down
25:18
Speaker 2: in and goes who told you that? He was like, well,
25:21
Speaker 2: I knew it was a core injury. Uh during the
25:23
Speaker 2: spring he was, Yeah, that's separate from it. But he
25:25
Speaker 2: did have that working through some other stuff. But he
25:28
Speaker 2: hasn't really flashed much at all because he hasn't really
25:30
Speaker 2: been in there in team drills. Jalen Simpson is the
25:34
Speaker 2: guy that has probably flashed the most over there, and
25:37
Speaker 2: then he might make the he might be making this
25:39
Speaker 2: the club. I was thinking, like Demanie Jackson's a guy,
25:41
Speaker 2: would you expect him to like make plays on special
25:43
Speaker 2: teams and stuff?
25:44
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
25:45
Speaker 2: But bokeem Melton will be ready to go for drills
25:49
Speaker 2: Chris McClellan and denied Dennis Sutton. Is this their night
25:51
Speaker 2: to shine on national TV? Chris McClellan definitely going to
25:54
Speaker 2: get a lot of opportunity. My boy Anthony Campbell, who's
25:57
Speaker 2: been one of the talks of camp gonna absolutely get
25:59
Speaker 2: a chance there. And I would also you mentioned Ziar
26:02
Speaker 2: Franklin as one of those guys that maybe gets bubble
26:04
Speaker 2: wrapped again, probably like a series or two. Real extended
26:08
Speaker 2: run for Tyron Hopper because Isamh McDuffie will play a
26:11
Speaker 2: decent amount most likely, but he's extended. You know what
26:14
Speaker 2: you have in Isaiah McDuffie. They'll get him some looks
26:17
Speaker 2: and reps just to get himself ready. But I would
26:19
Speaker 2: assume there's a lot of development opportunity for Tyron Hopper,
26:23
Speaker 2: who doesn't get a ton of defensive snaps in the
26:26
Speaker 2: regular season as one of the core backups, but he
26:29
Speaker 2: ended up playing huge last year in the playoff game,
26:33
Speaker 2: had a pick down near the goal line, and has
26:35
Speaker 2: just not had a ton of opportunities. Brandon Cis though
26:38
Speaker 2: and Nags and Bank. He talked about it with Brian Gudokunz.
26:45
Speaker 2: There's certain players you have to see how they react
26:47
Speaker 2: in different settings. See say not gonna go up against
26:51
Speaker 2: DK metcalf or Michael Pittman for the Steelers. Roman Wilson's
26:55
Speaker 2: got real NFL speed, though, and to see how he
26:57
Speaker 2: reacts in an NFL stadium with that kind of pressure.
27:01
Speaker 2: He played in the SEC. He's seen bigger crowds than
27:03
Speaker 2: he'll see tonight, but very excited to see how he
27:06
Speaker 2: translates it. But I did hear Arman mention it real briefly.
27:10
Speaker 2: There the one spot in the one thing you're gonna
27:13
Speaker 2: see manufactured, the one thing that you're gonna see Crowbard
27:16
Speaker 2: into tonight's game. I think I can safely bet there
27:20
Speaker 2: will be three to four field goals attempted.
27:23
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
27:24
Speaker 2: And if the Packers are sitting Drew right near like
27:27
Speaker 2: say the twenty eight yard line, and it's third and two,
27:32
Speaker 2: they're throwing that thing as deep as possible, not being upset.
27:35
Speaker 2: If it goes right out of the back of the
27:36
Speaker 2: end zone, they will not go forward on fourth down.
27:38
Speaker 2: And I imagine they're gonna take every opportunity to send
27:40
Speaker 2: Tray Smack out there and get a look in the stadium,
27:43
Speaker 2: because that's what they've said multiple times is what's only
27:46
Speaker 2: going to matter in this evaluation process and figure out
27:49
Speaker 2: if they need to bring somebody else in. Yeah, we
27:50
Speaker 2: gotta see this guy kick. We gotta see a kick,
27:52
Speaker 2: big Dog. We gotta see you kick in this building.
27:54
Speaker 2: And whether or not the results are good, they'll least
27:57
Speaker 2: learn something from it. And the thing is, you're right, Billy,
27:59
Speaker 2: It helps make decisions going forward. I think they're sticking
28:01
Speaker 2: with him. They're gonna work through whatever issue they are.
28:03
Speaker 2: But it always comes down to how bad is it,
28:05
Speaker 2: because this is still a business of winning in this
28:07
Speaker 2: league and that's what you have to do. So we
28:09
Speaker 2: will see Trey smack some and if he misses some,
28:13
Speaker 2: they will be talking smack around here, right Howeverfty, I
28:20
Speaker 2: hope he nails all of them. I hope he booms
28:22
Speaker 2: him right through the uprights with room to spare. But
28:27
Speaker 2: we're all gonna feel that before he kicks it. Does
28:28
Speaker 2: any of us really expect it to really go perfectly?
28:31
Speaker 2: I don't, But however it might and that would be great.
28:33
Speaker 2: Maybe he'll just be great at kicking in the bowl,
28:35
Speaker 2: which is really where it matters anyway. Yeah, the NFL
28:38
Speaker 2: stadiums is where it really does matter, Arm And you're right,
28:40
Speaker 2: as much as we would love to see you go
28:43
Speaker 2: perfect out at Rainichki Field, that really doesn't much matter
28:46
Speaker 2: much because I watched Greg Joseph half days where he
28:48
Speaker 2: would shut the box and then they quickly escorted him
28:51
Speaker 2: right on out of the lambeau.
28:53
Speaker 1: Field locker room. If they were very much okay moving
28:56
Speaker 1: on from him at any.
28:57
Speaker 2: Point in time I watched Brandon mcmannons nail him at
28:59
Speaker 2: Rayniski Field all summer. I mean, boy, he would could
29:02
Speaker 2: not miss from fifty sixty.
29:05
Speaker 1: But you know what he did miss in the NFL playoffs. Yeah,
29:07
Speaker 1: only only in the biggest the biggest spots. It sometimes
29:10
Speaker 1: is like that.
29:11
Speaker 2: You you mentioned Drew, What else are you gonna watch?
29:13
Speaker 2: There's a decent amount of other NFL games. There's one
29:16
Speaker 2: going on as well, right in the same wheelhouse. Uh,
29:19
Speaker 2: six o'clock kick in the NFC North, the Lions take
29:22
Speaker 2: on the Bengals. Bengals have played Joey b a couple
29:25
Speaker 2: of times uh in recent years, trying to spice themselves up,
29:29
Speaker 2: get themselves ready to roll. But really, Packers and Steelers
29:32
Speaker 2: turns into the undercard the first time. Really, I think
29:35
Speaker 2: that we can safely assume we're gonna watch a West
29:37
Speaker 2: Coast Brewers game with the New Hours live, We're gonna
29:42
Speaker 2: we're gonna get live viewing of living Dodgers tonight.
29:44
Speaker 1: That's true. We'll be hanging out with you, so while
29:47
Speaker 1: you're watching rap hang out with us for Packers ots.
29:49
Speaker 1: It's a good point. We'll be careful not to uh
29:53
Speaker 1: not to miss anything.
29:55
Speaker 2: Not to miss anything, and uh we missed uh Charles
29:58
Speaker 2: and Arkdale because we were watching them Brewers. Well, as
30:01
Speaker 2: long as we don't take a Freddie Freeman and just
30:03
Speaker 2: stumble right through the whole thing, I think we'll be okay,
30:05
Speaker 2: we should be all right.
30:06
Speaker 1: I'll stay I'll stay focused.
30:07
Speaker 2: So you guys make sure stay vigil You guys can
30:09
Speaker 2: watch that, and that's good.
30:10
Speaker 1: And we got listen.
30:11
Speaker 2: And we have avoided talking Brewers so far, so I
30:14
Speaker 2: feel that's a service. But I also feel like we're
30:16
Speaker 2: gonna have to do it. So we do have a
30:17
Speaker 2: hopeful text from Rondo. We'll have to get to that
30:19
Speaker 2: all right. Roda has them up for us and he
30:22
Speaker 2: does love it.
30:22
Speaker 1: Very unique.
30:23
Speaker 2: But you gotta in a streak like this, you gotta
30:25
Speaker 2: find some way to try, and you gotta squint for
30:27
Speaker 2: some squint for some. Optimism is a good way to
30:29
Speaker 2: put it.
30:30
Speaker 1: So that's right.
30:30
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven seven nine four one ninety seven three
30:33
Speaker 2: gets you in.
30:34
Speaker 1: It's game day in the good Land. We're very excited.
30:36
Speaker 2: We will talk Brewers and padres, although we don't want to,
30:38
Speaker 2: but we're on to la Brewers, uh, you know, licking
30:41
Speaker 2: their wounds after their third I think it's the third
30:43
Speaker 2: time they've been swept this season in the series. Goodness gracious,
30:47
Speaker 2: and this one just done field to see the other
30:48
Speaker 2: times we're by Pittsburgh and Washington.
30:51
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. Yes, Washington and Washington was at home,
30:54
Speaker 1: wasn't it. I believe early in the year. I believe.
30:57
Speaker 2: So.
30:57
Speaker 1: All right, that made me feel a lot better, Drew,
30:59
Speaker 1: Thank you. I needed that up. Yeah, yeah, you're in
31:01
Speaker 1: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. The preseason opener for
31:08
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers is as.
31:10
Speaker 2: An opener, what do we prefer? Preseason? Exhibition? Still exhibition?
31:14
Speaker 2: To me? I was gonna say exhibition is a good one.
31:16
Speaker 2: I usually end up saying preseason because it's the easier
31:19
Speaker 2: one to determine what sport we're talking about, right, like
31:23
Speaker 2: spring training you only talk about for baseball. You don't
31:26
Speaker 2: call the boys cavorting in Maryvale Baseball Park.
31:30
Speaker 1: Pardon me, American Family Fields of Phoenix.
31:32
Speaker 2: Yes, we don't call that training camp, even though there
31:35
Speaker 2: will be, Drew, I imagine every single year that you
31:38
Speaker 2: would be out there for six to seven weeks. Maybe
31:40
Speaker 2: how's training camp going good? And spring training is beautiful?
31:43
Speaker 2: It's one of my easiest lines of demarcations, so you
31:46
Speaker 2: separate and know what the sports are. I've always called
31:48
Speaker 2: the Bucks games the exhibition games as well in the NBA,
31:51
Speaker 2: those are I mean, you want to really talk about
31:53
Speaker 2: an exhibition half the regular season could also feel like
31:57
Speaker 2: that's true, you don't get any of those, but preseason
31:59
Speaker 2: exit ambition doesn't matter. They're going to be playing tonight
32:03
Speaker 2: on the banks of what are the Rivers, the Allegheny,
32:08
Speaker 2: the Ohio? Right? Yeah? And the third one is the
32:12
Speaker 2: third tenor is the hardest the manga manga I got.
32:19
Speaker 1: I got closer than I did last time. You go.
32:21
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. I remember a guy.
32:24
Speaker 2: Once upon a time there was a site that sold shirts.
32:27
Speaker 2: It was I think it was awful announcing maybe not,
32:29
Speaker 2: but it was naming wrongs, you know. And you could
32:31
Speaker 2: get the shirt that said I miss so and so,
32:33
Speaker 2: And I remember the guy wore the I missed three
32:35
Speaker 2: Rivers Stadium shirt around uh Miller Park at the time,
32:39
Speaker 2: was wearing it in for a Pirates game, Like, all right,
32:41
Speaker 2: this guy's a real one right here. Three Rivers and
32:44
Speaker 2: then Veterans Stadium were two of the great dumps. Was
32:47
Speaker 2: a dump, but it was hard. I mean, but Veterans Stadium, man,
32:52
Speaker 2: that entire place smelled of vomit. In San Francisco smells
32:58
Speaker 2: like garlic because they make the garlic fries.
33:00
Speaker 1: The whole ballpark smells like garlic. And it's kind of cool.
33:03
Speaker 2: Uh, That Veteran stadium on a hot summer day and
33:06
Speaker 2: muggy summer day smelled everywhere you went, smelled like vomited.
33:09
Speaker 1: What did smell like mash like the malt from the bit.
33:14
Speaker 2: It was like a little sue, little little summer day sewage.
33:18
Speaker 1: Or what no trying to think it was. It was
33:21
Speaker 1: like there was a musty mustiness to it.
33:23
Speaker 2: There we go, I like that, especially like in the
33:25
Speaker 2: bowels like that. It was like always damp and kind
33:28
Speaker 2: of kind of musty, kind of basically like it was
33:32
Speaker 2: basement t but it wasn't like completely unpleasant and like
33:36
Speaker 2: your ant's basement where you'd always go and hang out
33:38
Speaker 2: because they keep a TV down there.
33:40
Speaker 1: It wasn't really.
33:40
Speaker 2: Before the kids wanted to play to get away from
33:42
Speaker 2: the parents so they could adult conversation.
33:44
Speaker 1: They kept but it was kind of musty, yeah, a
33:46
Speaker 1: little bit.
33:47
Speaker 2: Musty, but it was with the seating bowl and stuff
33:50
Speaker 2: and when they got a breeze through there, it was nice.
33:51
Speaker 2: But in the concourses and down especially down below the
33:54
Speaker 2: service level where we spent a lot of time, it
33:57
Speaker 2: was like basement dish, not horrible, not definitely not vomit smelling.
34:02
Speaker 2: I think it was always helpful that kind of the
34:03
Speaker 2: bleachers were separate from the rest of the bowl. So
34:07
Speaker 2: was it one continuous, you know thing, So it was
34:09
Speaker 2: a wide open there in that sense that was that
34:11
Speaker 2: was always good. I uh no, I don't know exactly
34:13
Speaker 2: what uh the Late Country Dockhounds stadium smells like after
34:17
Speaker 2: Wednesday night last night, Fellas they had a they had
34:22
Speaker 2: a legend amongst us world all time, maybe the greatest
34:28
Speaker 2: competitive athlete in American history.
34:31
Speaker 1: Joey Ches Joey Chestno was at the Late Country Dockhounds.
34:35
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
34:38
Speaker 2: Got into a Tater Todd eating contest, yeah with and
34:43
Speaker 2: he lost.
34:44
Speaker 1: Joey lost.
34:45
Speaker 2: Joey lost some patrons last night at the Lake Country
34:48
Speaker 2: Dockcouns game.

Speaker 2: That CBS fifty eight News has out has over three
34:56
Speaker 2: hundred thousand views.
34:58
Speaker 1: Oh this is gonna get big.
35:00
Speaker 2: Absolutely, this Joey Chestnut losing a Tater toddying goddess last
35:04
Speaker 2: night at the Dockhounds game. If anybody knows these individuals
35:07
Speaker 2: that beat Joey Chestnut, please give them the phone number
35:10
Speaker 2: of eight seven seven. This is like, you know that
35:14
Speaker 2: that old grainy video of somebody beating Jordan at the
35:17
Speaker 2: one on one at the Nike camp, But then like
35:18
Speaker 2: they actually got video of this. Wow, this is a
35:21
Speaker 2: pelt you can have on your wall forever. Because Joey
35:23
Speaker 2: Chestnut's not a one trippony. He holds multiple eating records.
35:26
Speaker 2: People think he's just a hot dog. You he's ticked. Yeah, oh,
35:29
Speaker 2: he is ticked in this video.
35:31
Speaker 1: That they have that's beating Jordan in a dunk content.
35:33
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
35:35
Speaker 2: He's sitting there stewing with the Nathan Tot dog eating
35:38
Speaker 2: belt on waiting and a top counts jersey, And the
35:41
Speaker 2: decision goes to the man in the red shirt with
35:44
Speaker 2: a camouflage hat. He came straight out of a tree
35:47
Speaker 2: stand with a beautiful ginger beard and a heart and
35:50
Speaker 2: desire like nobody else to be able to hoist up
35:53
Speaker 2: the Tater Tot belt at formerly WBC Park.
35:56
Speaker 1: Does he look pissed. You're right, I mean, oh my god.
35:59
Speaker 2: That is a of somebody who cannot believe that they
36:03
Speaker 2: just caught a fat old. And that's a face of
36:05
Speaker 2: somebody that's the clock's never offer him like he's gonna
36:08
Speaker 2: win every he's gonna keep his reputation all the time,
36:11
Speaker 2: like they're coming at the King at all times, and
36:12
Speaker 2: he takes that seriously. I really apologize, guys, but I
36:15
Speaker 2: that video was just that's great captivating me in a
36:18
Speaker 2: different type of way.
36:21
Speaker 1: Jordan in a dunk contest.
36:24
Speaker 2: Maybe not Barns in a home run hitting contest, because
36:26
Speaker 2: you know that's not happening.
36:27
Speaker 1: But you're not beating like.
36:28
Speaker 2: Like I'm trying to think like did ever kid ever
36:31
Speaker 2: beat Like was there a quarterback that that ever got
36:33
Speaker 2: beat by a kid in like a tire throw? Is
36:35
Speaker 2: just beating tiger woods in a quickened eye in your
36:38
Speaker 2: local muni. Yeah, but that's not even possible, right, So
36:41
Speaker 2: you almost think to yourself like this is you're doing
36:43
Speaker 2: the impossible. You're beating Joey Chestnut like maybe it's a
36:46
Speaker 2: food he's not if it's a food he's unfamiliar with,
36:48
Speaker 2: or how it was judged. I'm sure he's gonna complain
36:51
Speaker 2: about how it was judged in one of those deals.
36:53
Speaker 1: Maybe. I don't know.
36:54
Speaker 2: I have no idea, but all I know is you
36:56
Speaker 2: got a pelt on your wall forever. When you say
36:58
Speaker 2: I beat hey kid. You know that famous guy, I
37:01
Speaker 2: beat him once, And I see that belt up there
37:03
Speaker 2: that I got. I got that from beating Joey Chess.
37:05
Speaker 2: Tell me what the grand place. That's impressive stuff right there. Wow,
37:10
Speaker 2: I don't know that we're going to see anything that
37:11
Speaker 2: impressive tonight drew in preseason opener number one or exhibition opener.
37:15
Speaker 1: Next question, I.
37:16
Speaker 2: Got, I got a I got a sneaky suspicion. That's
37:19
Speaker 2: gonna be the best video that we see inside of
37:21
Speaker 2: a stadium today, unless the Brewers go and beat the Dodgers,
37:24
Speaker 2: then we would see something a lot better, because Lord
37:26
Speaker 2: knows they need one.
37:27
Speaker 1: Joey chest not.
37:27
Speaker 2: By the way, it's fifty five world records across fifty
37:30
Speaker 2: five disciplines. They say, I don't know if competitive eating
37:33
Speaker 2: can be.
37:35
Speaker 1: So there you go, and.
37:35
Speaker 2: He's the number one rank he's first in the world,
37:39
Speaker 2: first ranked in the world by m l E and
37:41
Speaker 2: majorly eating. That's kind of discipline I wanted when I
37:43
Speaker 2: was a kid. Yeah, I means he said I got
37:46
Speaker 2: the time out discipline. No, why don't I get the
37:48
Speaker 2: chicken wing wing eating contest discipline?
37:50
Speaker 1: He's got eighteen Mustard yellow belts? So what more to beat?
37:53
Speaker 2: Jack Nicholas for majors? Are there any other majors? And
38:00
Speaker 2: special one more? Yeah? They do some wild stuff. I'm
38:05
Speaker 2: pretty sure they eat fried rice as one of the
38:07
Speaker 2: competitions that too.
38:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean do you imagine that stone run?
38:11
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, that's hard to deter Is it just
38:13
Speaker 2: by bounces?
38:14
Speaker 1: Or I believe it's wait, yeah, I believe it's weight eating.
38:17
Speaker 2: He's also a nine time world ribeating champion, but it
38:20
Speaker 2: looks like the last one was ten years ago, so
38:22
Speaker 2: might be passed his prime on that.
38:23
Speaker 1: It might be Listen, he might just be over the hill.
38:25
Speaker 1: Well he's forty two. What's the prime for an eater?
38:28
Speaker 1: That's a fair point question. That's a young man's game.
38:31
Speaker 1: I mean, Westbrook retired.
38:32
Speaker 2: Maybe he has to in Sussex, like beating Steph Curry
38:35
Speaker 2: in a three point contest, that's exact. That's a good one. Yeah, yeah,
38:38
Speaker 2: it's a good one. That would be a. That's a
38:40
Speaker 2: fair comparison. That's impressed. I wonder about the convos like
38:43
Speaker 2: to with him and the other guys at the table
38:44
Speaker 2: right before, because we've been doing some of those admirals
38:46
Speaker 2: eating contests. But the guys are kind of chummy because
38:49
Speaker 2: they're all fans and they all kind of joke around before.
38:51
Speaker 1: I'm like, is he just stare like who's finishing? Second?
38:54
Speaker 1: Like the old Larry Bird.
38:56
Speaker 2: He walked He walked out like Paul Cogan in the seventies.
39:00
Speaker 2: I mean, people are tapping, people are high five and
39:03
Speaker 2: they're smacking his bag as he's walking down this like
39:06
Speaker 2: very very tight corridor.
39:07

Speaker 1: I'm sorry, definitely that James Jones. Did James Jones James
39:38

39:53
