0:00
Speaker 1: On the air and ready to roll on a Brewer's
0:03
Speaker 1: homecoming weekend. Yes, they have played their last six games
0:06
Speaker 1: out of the y all Star break at home, but
0:08
Speaker 1: today their homecoming dance some sorts, the Legends Affair and
0:12
Speaker 1: the Legends outing happens against the only kind of rival
0:15
Speaker 1: and opponent you could the Colorado Rockies coming to town.
0:19
Speaker 1: Nobody's homecoming date. Well, he was someone's homecoming date, our
0:22
Speaker 1: friend Armin. Sorry, and on that side, I did.
0:24
Speaker 2: I didn't make it to those dances as well, Billy,
0:27
Speaker 2: it's all the dances.
0:28
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? Go with a date or did
0:30
Speaker 3: you go with just the boys? Or was that not cool?
0:33
Speaker 3: In your vintage at Greenfield High I had a date, man,
0:36
Speaker 3: I would I would ask someone to go to the dance.
0:38
Speaker 3: I had a date.
0:39
Speaker 2: It might have been one winter formal. I didn't we
0:41
Speaker 2: just did. But there you have a date the guys.
0:45
Speaker 3: You know what? We didn't have that.
0:46
Speaker 2: I think there might have been just one where we
0:48
Speaker 2: just decided to go. No, we didn't. I don't think
0:50
Speaker 2: we had like a Sadie Hawkins turnaround dance or whatever
0:52
Speaker 2: like that where the girls asked the guys No, I
0:55
Speaker 2: had a date. We get the corsage, we get the uh,
0:58
Speaker 2: you know, the the flowers and everything like that. Every
1:01
Speaker 2: time you take pictures. It was the whole thing. And
1:05
Speaker 2: that's what we did, man, That's all we did. And
1:06
Speaker 2: it was a good time. I don't know if kids
1:08
Speaker 2: are going to dances anymore, but back then it was
1:10
Speaker 2: our magnum opus.
1:11
Speaker 3: Well, you learned a lot of things.
1:12
Speaker 1: You learned a lot of things about about a young
1:15
Speaker 1: person in your young self at those dances, and absolutely
1:19
Speaker 1: so a good, good time. But generally speaking, you got
1:22
Speaker 1: to find an opponent that you think you can curb
1:24
Speaker 1: stomp on a day like today, and the Brewers decided
1:26
Speaker 1: to do that against the Colorado Rockies. Not did not
1:28
Speaker 1: work out very well last year when they did this
1:30
Speaker 1: event because the homecoming of Sorts weekend was against the
1:34
Speaker 1: Miami Marlins.
1:34
Speaker 3: Brewers lost too out of three in that series.
1:37
Speaker 1: This is what can't happen going in here and stunting
1:39
Speaker 1: any of the momentum and excitement and growth, because I mean,
1:41
Speaker 1: let's be honest, you win five out of six out
1:44
Speaker 1: of the break all bad tastes or issues in that
1:48
Speaker 1: three games sweep at the hands of the Pittsburgh pirates
1:50
Speaker 1: have been put to bed before the All Star break,
1:53
Speaker 1: that could be further out of our minds. Instead now
1:56
Speaker 1: probably on our minds of twenty twenty six deadline and
1:58
Speaker 1: at Brewers dot comrade now is Adam mccalvey's piece talking
2:02
Speaker 1: about the Brewers now in pole position, being quote definitely
2:06
Speaker 1: active going into the deadline.
2:08
Speaker 4: Now.
2:08
Speaker 1: We talked about some of Matt Arnold talking to Adam
2:11
Speaker 1: mcalvey yesterday with Hunter when he joined us, But when
2:15
Speaker 1: Adam puts pen to paper with more of the conversation
2:19
Speaker 1: and even more now of the aggregating variety being able
2:24
Speaker 1: to glam onto a couple of the biggest headline parts
2:28
Speaker 1: of it. Adam writes Brewers of the best record in
2:32
Speaker 1: franchise history through one hundred games, second and second biggest
2:35
Speaker 1: division lead in Major League Baseball, and given that success
2:39
Speaker 1: on the field, the Brewers officials are prepared to adopt
2:41
Speaker 1: a more aggressive approach at the trade deadline compared to
2:45
Speaker 1: recent years, according to sources familiar.
2:48
Speaker 3: With the clubs, thinking I love this, I love this,
2:50
Speaker 3: I love the verbians.
2:51
Speaker 2: We're using pole position, aggressive mindset, in position.
2:55
Speaker 1: Adopt a more aggressive approach. Now consider anything more than
3:02
Speaker 1: Shelby Miller and the skeletal remains of Jordan Montgomery, who
3:07
Speaker 1: was on the IL as being more aggressive, like there's
3:10
Speaker 1: a lot of things that are gonna be more aggressive
3:12
Speaker 1: than that.
3:12
Speaker 3: This is the problem, is that this is the danger
3:15
Speaker 3: of this type of thing were the last couple of years.
3:17
Speaker 1: Now, yes they've added some small pieces, but it's felt
3:20
Speaker 1: like the Brewers have almost while everybody has tried to
3:23
Speaker 1: zig think actually we're gonna zeg, We're gonna maybe sell off.
3:26
Speaker 1: We're going completely opposite of what people think this trade does.
3:30
Speaker 3: They've done and.
3:31
Speaker 2: There's been excitement for these deadlines, and usually I don't
3:33
Speaker 2: say usually, but sometimes it hasn't been. Hey, you just
3:36
Speaker 2: wait to see the gifts you get for this year's Christmas.
3:39
Speaker 2: You just wait to see what we got you for
3:41
Speaker 2: this year's It's been since.
3:42
Speaker 1: Twenty eighteen that they've done a move of significance enough,
3:46
Speaker 1: like even of Mike Mustakis to shake those I mean,
3:49
Speaker 1: Moose was an All Star and a World Series champion
3:51
Speaker 1: when he came in here.
3:52
Speaker 3: That's a big move. Sope was too at the time.
3:55
Speaker 2: I mean people it didn't work out that way, It
3:57
Speaker 2: did not work out, but there was excitement on Scope.
4:00
Speaker 2: I mean, I remember people were sort of excited for
4:02
Speaker 2: that because he had a good first half of the year.
4:04
Speaker 3: I think I wrong. I don't know, I don't know.
4:07
Speaker 1: Yes that, as Adam continues to write, yes, that means
4:10
Speaker 1: Milwaukee officials have touched base with Detroit about starter Tarrek
4:13
Speaker 1: Scouobele and with San Diego about closer Mason Miller. But
4:17
Speaker 1: Tigers and Padres, as mcalvy, Wrights must first decide to
4:20
Speaker 1: trade those players. But the Brewers must decide how much
4:23
Speaker 1: to deal of their young crop of major league starters
4:27
Speaker 1: or from MLB Pipeline's top ranked farm system. Matt Arnold's
4:32
Speaker 1: quote was, I've been on the phone a lot. Obviously
4:36
Speaker 1: can't discuss specifics about trades, but we're definitely active. And
4:40
Speaker 1: with whatever aggressive approach you get, you know you're still
4:44
Speaker 1: going to have some limitations. It's not like the Brewers
4:47
Speaker 1: are going to be able to take on a Francisco
4:52
Speaker 1: Lindor like contract. Not saying that they be interested in Lindor.
4:55
Speaker 1: You're not taking on nine figures of salary. Even when
5:00
Speaker 1: Aeronauto was you know, at the one of the guys
5:02
Speaker 1: that I've been looking at for a while, you're gonna
5:04
Speaker 1: taking on fifteen million dollars going.
5:06
Speaker 3: Forward of salary.
5:08
Speaker 1: Now, aeron Otto, I think you only have to pay
5:09
Speaker 1: like five million of the contract in twenty twenty seven. However,
5:14
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's getting traded. I don't think
5:15
Speaker 1: Arizona wants to trade. I think they want to try
5:17
Speaker 1: to push in and try to get into the playoffs.
5:19
Speaker 1: So this next week we've stressed obviously important. But for
5:22
Speaker 1: these two situations where you have the top of top
5:25
Speaker 1: of the market guy, I think the demand is only
5:29
Speaker 1: going to go up for a schoobl or Miller. That's
5:31
Speaker 1: gonna be tough for teams, especially the Tigers, who are
5:35
Speaker 1: gonna be staring down the barrel of losing Mize and Schooble. Yeah,
5:41
Speaker 1: that's a lot to let walk out the door for
5:43
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing.
5:44
Speaker 3: There might be a little threading of the needle.
5:46
Speaker 1: And that's where as mcalvey puts in, and I think
5:49
Speaker 1: this is put in here right by Adam to say
5:53
Speaker 1: how much to deal from their young crop of major
5:56
Speaker 1: league starters. I don't think that just means major league
5:58
Speaker 1: starting pitching. I don't think that just mean the Logan Henderson,
6:01
Speaker 1: Robert Gassers and you know, Brandon Sproke, Quinn Priesters of
6:04
Speaker 1: the world. Parbor Trade a guy that's you know, on
6:06
Speaker 1: the IL at this point, but it wouldn't be the
6:07
Speaker 1: first time. I think it means some of the young
6:11
Speaker 1: starting position players and like, that's that's gonna be probably
6:15
Speaker 1: the price of playing poker for the Tigers or Padres,
6:18
Speaker 1: in particular to teams that probably are gonna want to
6:21
Speaker 1: be trying to compete quickly. Padres don't just want to
6:24
Speaker 1: punt for the next four years. Yeah, but I think
6:27
Speaker 1: the lack of performance they've had from some of their
6:30
Speaker 1: top lay players. They got huge contracts in machadout Tatis
6:32
Speaker 1: and name a couple that they're going to continue to
6:34
Speaker 1: try to reboot it next year. You're not just going
6:38
Speaker 1: to punt for a bunch of single a guys like
6:40
Speaker 1: there are potentially gonna be a couple of names that
6:42
Speaker 1: come off of the major league roster in one of
6:44
Speaker 1: these deals, and those are those are tough decisions to
6:47
Speaker 1: have to make. But when you are trying to fight
6:52
Speaker 1: in battle for one of the two or three real
6:54
Speaker 1: fish that are on the market that are gonna feed
6:57
Speaker 1: feed the family, Uh, it's probably gonna be what you
7:00
Speaker 1: have to bring to the bargaining table.
7:02
Speaker 2: Absolutely as the market for buyers expands and sellers shrinks.
7:06
Speaker 2: We know we know how this goes, and the prices
7:09
Speaker 2: will get high. But that also makes it a brutally
7:10
Speaker 2: tough decision for these teams that do want to compete
7:13
Speaker 2: but also want to take advantage of some of the
7:15
Speaker 2: possibilities of a hot market and it offers that might
7:19
Speaker 2: come their way. So this is tough for the Tigers,
7:21
Speaker 2: and you mentioned the Padres Billy that might have to
7:23
Speaker 2: make a very tough decision, and that's where you will
7:25
Speaker 2: have to pay a lot because they're gonna say, we're
7:28
Speaker 2: gonna want major league known quantity at least close to
7:30
Speaker 2: major league known quantities as possible, not only a to
7:35
Speaker 2: perform and to kind of rebound and try and reload
7:39
Speaker 2: and compete as quick as possible, but they're gonna have
7:41
Speaker 2: to sell it to a fan base. They're gonna have
7:43
Speaker 2: to sell it back to their fan base that's gonna
7:45
Speaker 2: be frustrated about them selling pieces. When we know how
7:47
Speaker 2: fans are. They're always in bible, they're always in let's
7:50
Speaker 2: go for it mode. I would think at least, and
7:53
Speaker 2: that's the way to do it, is to give them
7:54
Speaker 2: some known quantities from a major league position.
7:56
Speaker 3: And it's gonna be tougher.
7:57
Speaker 2: Now for the Tigers, who I think just last night
7:59
Speaker 2: talk schoobl said to reporters, I want to stay in Detroit.
8:03
Speaker 2: I think we have a World Series team. Now you
8:04
Speaker 2: had him actually come out and say it. So it's
8:07
Speaker 2: a brutally thought decision for an organization that You're right,
8:09
Speaker 2: Billy doesn't want to be sitting around, you know, in
8:12
Speaker 2: late September winning seventy five games that didn't work out,
8:14
Speaker 2: and they said, wow, we got nothing for one of
8:16
Speaker 2: the most important pieces in our organization.
8:18
Speaker 3: Well, and one of the guys that is going to
8:20
Speaker 3: be as highly.
8:22
Speaker 1: Discussed in recent memory. I mean like when Otani was
8:26
Speaker 1: going into his free agent year in Los Angeles, that
8:30
Speaker 1: was what the angel I should say. There were a
8:32
Speaker 1: lot of people that were almost convincing, trying to convince
8:36
Speaker 1: Ardie Morino and the Angels like, guys, he is not staying,
8:40
Speaker 1: you know that, why would you not try to do something?
8:43
Speaker 1: And for them, I think they were farther out of
8:46
Speaker 1: any possible playoff situation than even the Tigers are the
8:50
Speaker 1: Tigers right now are sitting six games back in the
8:54
Speaker 1: AL Central. That's a significant margin. I just told you
8:57
Speaker 1: about how much I think is seven games in sixty game.
8:59
Speaker 1: Six games is for the Cubs to try to make
9:02
Speaker 1: up as very similar to what the Tigers would be
9:04
Speaker 1: trying to do. They're also trying to leapfrog two more teams,
9:07
Speaker 1: and one of which has been the brewers of that
9:10
Speaker 1: division for a while, in the Cleveland Guardians, who kind
9:13
Speaker 1: of just play consistent ball. Sure, you're chasing the White Sox,
9:16
Speaker 1: and I don't think a whole lot of people are
9:17
Speaker 1: believing in them. But the two names that we've talked
9:20
Speaker 1: the most about starting pitcher wise in that division, two
9:23
Speaker 1: that I am very much skeptical are going to get
9:27
Speaker 1: dealt the aforementioned Schoople and Joe Ryan because the Twins,
9:30
Speaker 1: you know, started picking up a couple of dubs here.
9:32
Speaker 3: And maybe they don't want to deal him as well.
9:34
Speaker 1: But now Adam points out a couple of guys with
9:36
Speaker 1: the Angels read det Merse. He's controllable going forward, so
9:39
Speaker 1: is Jose Siriano. Siriano's having a phenomenal year. That would
9:43
Speaker 1: be a massive package because Jose Ciriano's got a couple
9:48
Speaker 1: of years remaining of club control, and historically that would
9:52
Speaker 1: be one of the guys that the Brewers would look at.
9:54
Speaker 1: But he's arbitration eligible next year. I mean, you get
9:58
Speaker 1: three more years of a guy that right now is
10:02
Speaker 1: thrown with a one two five whip and being one
10:06
Speaker 1: of the better pitchers and one of the better starters
10:07
Speaker 1: in the Americanly.
10:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's big.
10:09
Speaker 2: The years of control obviously is going to be big,
10:11
Speaker 2: and that and that changes probably the compensation. Ask Johnny Cribbage,
10:14
Speaker 2: tuckers are going to ask for Maddy Mitchell and or Fisher.
10:17
Speaker 2: I don't know about that much, but heck, maybe it is.
10:19
Speaker 2: I you know, if a team wants them bad enough
10:22
Speaker 2: and they have to convince the team to come off
10:23
Speaker 2: a guy that they might want to have for a
10:25
Speaker 2: stretch run, it might it might be that asking price.
10:27
Speaker 2: And then the onus is on a team to say,
10:29
Speaker 2: are we willing to give up that much?
10:31
Speaker 3: I don't think you're given on Mitchell right now. I
10:33
Speaker 3: could be wrong, though.
10:34
Speaker 1: You know well, and I think there was at one
10:37
Speaker 1: point during the off season or going into the year.
10:41
Speaker 1: Do you believe that there was a kind of reassessing
10:45
Speaker 1: of we're either going to be moving off of a
10:46
Speaker 1: South Frielich or a Garret Mitchell, and one of them
10:48
Speaker 1: is going to play their way potentially into that role.
10:51
Speaker 1: Possibly because Garret Mitchell has just played himself to a
10:54
Speaker 1: spot where he's too important, too valuable in your lineup.
10:57
Speaker 3: There's no way you're moving off.
10:58
Speaker 2: Him, right, Which is a good thing, right mate, south
10:59
Speaker 2: Freelick a lot more expendable, I would assume, Yes, you
11:01
Speaker 2: want guys to be playing well enough to build value
11:04
Speaker 2: for themselves, either for you on your major league club
11:06
Speaker 2: or as a compensation piece. So what happens you know,
11:09
Speaker 2: Sale has been hurt, but whatever happens with that now
11:11
Speaker 2: is the next question?
11:11
Speaker 3: How does he fit into it?
11:13
Speaker 2: Sal hasn't been as good you know you're talking about
11:15
Speaker 2: are you okay with him being a fourth outfielder long term?
11:18
Speaker 2: Do you think somebody else would want it? What would
11:19
Speaker 2: the implications be a lot of questions there.
11:22
Speaker 1: Indeed, Billy, and one other piece of this that was
11:25
Speaker 1: mentioned by Mcalvey that that's a point, he said, level
11:27
Speaker 1: of difficulty in constructing these.
11:29
Speaker 3: Deals tough parts.
11:30
Speaker 1: Two of the Brewers top ten prospects, Jet Williams and
11:33
Speaker 1: Bishop Letson both have hit the il Lesson's last star
11:36
Speaker 1: cuts short by an oblique strain, and Jeed Williams that
11:39
Speaker 1: sprained left wrist that you know he's gonna be down
11:42
Speaker 1: for a couple of more weeks, frankly, is the only
11:44
Speaker 1: reason why he wasn't here when the Brewers needed to
11:47
Speaker 1: make a move with David Hamilton and Braden Schuemac ended
11:50
Speaker 1: up being there because they needed to make a decision
11:53
Speaker 1: and they didn't have Ched Williams availble because he ended
11:57
Speaker 1: up getting dinged up just the night before. All right,
11:59
Speaker 1: eight seven to seven, nine four three. We'll get back
12:02
Speaker 1: to some Brewers conversation in a little while. But on
12:04
Speaker 1: the other side of the break, we have an announcement
12:06
Speaker 1: of significance regarding coverage of your Green Bay Packers and
12:10
Speaker 1: none other. To help us with that announcement, our friend
12:14
Speaker 1: and your voice, the voice and the soundtrack to the
12:17
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six championship season of the Green Bay Packers,
12:20
Speaker 1: Wayne Larvy, Voice of the pack Wayne Larvy is with
12:22
Speaker 1: us the Dagger joins and huddles up with Arman and
12:25
Speaker 1: Billy Next on Fox Sports Radio. Is then the Voice
12:27
Speaker 1: of the Green Bay Packers. Wayne Larvy hopping on with
12:30
Speaker 1: us on Fox Sports Radio is content.
12:32
Speaker 3: Wayne, it's been too long. How have you been. How's
12:33
Speaker 3: the summer treating you?
12:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been a while, guy.
12:36
Speaker 4: It's good to be back on with you a little
12:38
Speaker 4: bit earlier than you normally work at this hour.
12:41
Speaker 5: But nonetheless, I'm sure you're used to it, and I'll
12:44
Speaker 5: get used to it as well.
12:45
Speaker 3: It's it's a much different deal.
12:47
Speaker 1: It's a lot different than nine to twelve at one
12:50
Speaker 1: particular point in my life with the PM variety that
12:52
Speaker 1: I did. The five AM's a much stark change. However,
12:56
Speaker 1: it's it's a change when it comes to football season
12:58
Speaker 1: as well, Wayne, because the these games creep up on
13:01
Speaker 1: us quickly. I didn't realize until I checked my countdown
13:04
Speaker 1: schedule yesterday. Three weeks from yesterday, the Packers have been
13:08
Speaker 1: playing a preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's crazy
13:11
Speaker 1: how suddenly they're on the field for camp and then
13:14
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're expected to be playing preseason
13:16
Speaker 1: games and getting ready for the extension of the preseason,
13:19
Speaker 1: which is Week one coming up in September.
13:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, somebody said that to me yesterday as well, and
13:24
Speaker 4: that kind of jarred me.
13:25
Speaker 5: What three weeks really?
13:27
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, Yeah, it's hard to believe.
13:30
Speaker 2: Indeed, indeed, it comes up fast on us every year, Wayne,
13:35
Speaker 2: and this year is no exception. A lot of storylines
13:38
Speaker 2: going into camp obviously. And what are some of the
13:41
Speaker 2: things you're looking to watch for right away? Is it
13:44
Speaker 2: the new defense with Jonathan Gannon, is it the way
13:47
Speaker 2: Jayden Reid and Matthew Golden?
13:49
Speaker 3: Look? What are you looking at right away?
13:51
Speaker 5: Right away?
13:52
Speaker 4: I think I'm looking at Defense to begin with. I
13:54
Speaker 4: want to see what this new unit looks like, does
13:57
Speaker 4: how much it differs from what Jeff Haffley ran here.
14:00
Speaker 4: My biggest concern is cornerback, and I think there's going
14:03
Speaker 4: to be ample competition at that position, which I think
14:07
Speaker 4: will make it better going into the season.
14:09
Speaker 1: And we will be talking about all of it coming
14:11
Speaker 1: up on Wednesday when we start up with a brand
14:14
Speaker 1: new ability and a brand new show called Training Camp Live,
14:17
Speaker 1: starting up eleven to one during all public practices for
14:21
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. We'll be ready to roll eleven
14:23
Speaker 1: to one pm on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. We'll be
14:26
Speaker 1: on the YouTube pages as well. Wayne Larravy will be
14:28
Speaker 1: helping me out with that from Ray Nitchiefield. It's been
14:31
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things Wayne is sitting there and
14:33
Speaker 1: seeing practice unfold in front of us and then trying
14:36
Speaker 1: to speculate what you just did of the guys who
14:38
Speaker 1: are gonna need to be prime players for him. Last
14:42
Speaker 1: year we were watching Tucker Craft continue to ascend, we
14:45
Speaker 1: were watching Matthew Golden quite a bit, and doing these
14:49
Speaker 1: shows has been one of my favorite things to see,
14:51
Speaker 1: at least early on the guys in glimpses of players
14:54
Speaker 1: you anticipate being able to jump. We thought we were
14:57
Speaker 1: going to see a huge jump from Matthew Golden in
14:59
Speaker 1: year number one. Year number two, I anticipate we're gonna
15:02
Speaker 1: be saying a whole lot of the same over at
15:03
Speaker 1: rayninski Field. But it is even more paramount that they
15:06
Speaker 1: get a ton from their first round pick from a
15:09
Speaker 1: year ago.
15:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the deck has been cleared for him obviously
15:12
Speaker 4: with Romeo doms now at the New England Patriots and
15:16
Speaker 4: they traded Dantavian Wicks, and so you know, this is
15:20
Speaker 4: an opportunity for Matthew Golden, no doubt about that. And
15:23
Speaker 4: I think he's ready for it, having visited with him
15:25
Speaker 4: a little bit during OTA's mini camp. You could see
15:29
Speaker 4: he's really stepped to the next level from a maturity standpoint.
15:33
Speaker 4: Not that he wasn't mature before. He was a consummate
15:36
Speaker 4: pro as a rookie, but you can tell he kind
15:40
Speaker 4: of carries himself a little bit differently. He's been here,
15:43
Speaker 4: he's done that, he knows what the story is and
15:46
Speaker 4: I think the second year in the offense is going
15:48
Speaker 4: to help him greatly. People don't realize in the West
15:50
Speaker 4: Coast offense how difficult it is for a wide receiver
15:54
Speaker 4: to break in as a rookie and make that big
15:58
Speaker 4: step up. As you mentioned, now, there are some, do
16:01
Speaker 4: you know justin Jefferson was a star from the moment
16:04
Speaker 4: he said on the foot on the field. There are
16:06
Speaker 4: a couple of others around the league, but most of
16:08
Speaker 4: these wide receivers take a year or two before you
16:11
Speaker 4: really see them reach their ceiling.
16:13
Speaker 1: That's really good, A good point on Jefferson, And obviously,
16:15
Speaker 1: like Jamar Chase or something, those guys have popped right
16:18
Speaker 1: out of the gates. It almost feels like Wayne how
16:21
Speaker 1: good some of them have been. I think quarterbacks as well.
16:24
Speaker 1: The development of these players in the seven on seven
16:26
Speaker 1: ranks and in the college game, they're coming out even
16:29
Speaker 1: more pro ready to pass the football, so you anticipate
16:32
Speaker 1: instant gratification. But man, Romeo Dobbs caught a lot of
16:35
Speaker 1: passes for the team over the last four years and
16:37
Speaker 1: especially last year being their number one guy. There's a
16:40
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity there. And Jayden Reid, who you and
16:44
Speaker 1: I were doing the draft show the night that he
16:46
Speaker 1: ended up getting his extension, he ends up being.
16:48
Speaker 3: The first of three.
16:49
Speaker 1: He's a player that I'm very excited to see startup
16:53
Speaker 1: camp because you almost forget just how many injuries stacked
16:56
Speaker 1: up in that the Jones fracture on his foot was
16:58
Speaker 1: even before the collarbone injin and the catastrophic one that
17:01
Speaker 1: happened that Washington game. Didn't feel like he got fully
17:04
Speaker 1: into the twenty twenty five season, and it feels like
17:07
Speaker 1: he could also be primed for a breakout of that spot.
17:10
Speaker 4: I agree with you, Billy, and you know all the injuries,
17:12
Speaker 4: the hiccups he had last year with injuries had to
17:15
Speaker 4: affect his obviously affected his overall performance.
17:19
Speaker 5: This is a different year.
17:21
Speaker 4: I really think the Packers are fine at their skilled
17:23
Speaker 4: receiver positions now. People outside of Green Bay wonder, well,
17:28
Speaker 4: who these guys are and do they have a number
17:30
Speaker 4: one receiver, et cetera, and all that we know they do.
17:33
Speaker 4: He's Christian Watson. We know that Matthew Golden is very talented.
17:37
Speaker 4: He'll step to the next level and no question in
17:39
Speaker 4: my mind about that if he's healthy. And then of
17:42
Speaker 4: course you've got Jayden Reed as a third receiver in there. Now,
17:46
Speaker 4: put Tucker Craft on top of that, and the Packers
17:49
Speaker 4: have plenty in the skilled positions. Are those skilled positions
17:52
Speaker 4: players as accomplished or as well known as Minnesota and
17:55
Speaker 4: some other teams around the league. No, but they will
17:58
Speaker 4: be I anticipate by the end of the year.
18:00
Speaker 2: Skill positions obviously, the running back room a lot of questions. Wayne,
18:04
Speaker 2: we don't know what's a situation necessarily with Josh Jacobs,
18:07
Speaker 2: what's going to happen. We know what he brings to
18:08
Speaker 2: the table on the field, but behind him, there's a
18:11
Speaker 2: lot of question marks. Is this the best time ever
18:14
Speaker 2: to keep marsha On Lloyd healthy? And is that How
18:16
Speaker 2: important is that for the Packers as we watch next week?
18:20
Speaker 5: Yeah?
18:20
Speaker 4: I mean even in the helmets and T shirts that
18:24
Speaker 4: they've been going in throughout OTA's and Mini camp. And
18:29
Speaker 4: by the way, the first three days, if I'm not mistaken,
18:31
Speaker 4: at least the first three days of training camp will
18:33
Speaker 4: be the same.
18:34
Speaker 5: So you know, let's be honest, folks.
18:36
Speaker 4: What you're seeing the first three days of camp, and
18:38
Speaker 4: we're all excited to be there is nothing more than
18:41
Speaker 4: what we saw in the OTAs of mini camp. When
18:43
Speaker 4: the pads come on, that's when camp begins, and that'll
18:47
Speaker 4: be the following week. But at any rate, I really
18:50
Speaker 4: think you could see a lot of things going on
18:53
Speaker 4: the running back position. There's a guy I keep an
18:56
Speaker 4: eye on, Pierre Strong Junior number twenty two. He's a
19:00
Speaker 4: guy I would watch a training camp. I think he
19:02
Speaker 4: has a chance to Phil Wilson's shoes on that running
19:06
Speaker 4: back tree. Marshaun Lloyd, as you mentioned Armann, is tremendously
19:10
Speaker 4: important because the things he can do that the other
19:14
Speaker 4: running backs on that tree just don't have the ability
19:18
Speaker 4: to do. And that's the explosive plays. Obviously, Jacobs can
19:22
Speaker 4: be explosive, but Marshaun Lloyd brings you another dimension in
19:26
Speaker 4: that regard, and I think he's got a chance to
19:28
Speaker 4: really if he can stay healthy, he can make a
19:30
Speaker 4: major impact on this running back corps. And then of
19:34
Speaker 4: course Chris Brooks, who's mister reliable on third downs both
19:37
Speaker 4: as a blocker and a receiver. So this running back position,
19:42
Speaker 4: you know, if everything goes well, if everything comes out
19:45
Speaker 4: okay in terms of the legal entanglement that involves you know,
19:50
Speaker 4: the lead dog obviously, then you know, I think they've
19:54
Speaker 4: got a deep enough and good enough running back corps
19:57
Speaker 4: to contend. There's no doubt about that. But Josh Shak
20:00
Speaker 4: at the top of it is very is integral.
20:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, in Wayne, him.
20:03
Speaker 1: Getting cleaner starts and not just meaning the season, but
20:06
Speaker 1: cleaner starts on every single run play couldn't be rather
20:09
Speaker 1: important as well, because he was contacted far too much
20:13
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage, almost surprising that he was
20:15
Speaker 1: even able to get over nine hundred yards. What do
20:18
Speaker 1: you know that he belt with because their offensive line
20:20
Speaker 1: was way too leaky a year ago.
20:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, Billy.
20:23
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny because I was watching the Bears
20:27
Speaker 4: and Packers game from last January, the playoff game, the
20:30
Speaker 4: second half of the game, and the Bears really controlled
20:33
Speaker 4: that line of scrimmage, and my question kind of was,
20:36
Speaker 4: you know, well, outside of Rashid Walker, the returning cast
20:42
Speaker 4: is the same as played in that game. And obviously
20:45
Speaker 4: Zach Tom will be back and that'll be a big
20:47
Speaker 4: help when he's healthy and ready to go. But you
20:50
Speaker 4: got a lot of the same names there, but we're
20:52
Speaker 4: expecting a lot more.
20:53
Speaker 5: We're expecting Jordan Morgan to be.
20:55
Speaker 4: Better at left tackle than Rashid Walker was a year ago,
20:58
Speaker 4: and yet Walker was. We're expecting Aaron Banks to be
21:02
Speaker 4: healthy and more consistent the way he was down the
21:05
Speaker 4: stretch last season. Sean Ryan will have a full season
21:08
Speaker 4: now coming up under his belt. He finished the last
21:12
Speaker 4: seven games at center last year. You know, the right
21:14
Speaker 4: guard Anthony Belton stepped in second half of the season.
21:17
Speaker 4: You expect he'll be better this year. And as I mentioned,
21:20
Speaker 4: a healthy Zach Tom would be huge in that regard.
21:23
Speaker 4: I think the Packers feel good about their offensive line
21:26
Speaker 4: despite the way it played a season ago. And you're
21:29
Speaker 4: so right watching that offense in the second half. They
21:32
Speaker 4: started with three three and ounce I believe in the
21:35
Speaker 4: third quarter at Chicago in that playoff game, and it
21:38
Speaker 4: was the offensive line just couldn't get anything done. And
21:42
Speaker 4: you know, I think that's got to change. That's one
21:45
Speaker 4: of those things that they have to be better this year,
21:48
Speaker 4: and I think they will be, but they have to
21:50
Speaker 4: go out and prove it.
21:51
Speaker 5: And that won't happen until September.
21:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, rightfully, So, Williams got a lot of the love
21:55
Speaker 1: and the shine in that playoff game. They don't make
21:57
Speaker 1: that comeback if it's not for the defensive complete takeover
22:00
Speaker 1: that happens with Dennis Allen's group and how blitzing and
22:05
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage they played the second half
22:07
Speaker 1: of that game. They were really relentless. Wayne Larvy is
22:10
Speaker 1: gonna be joining me coming up next week starting up
22:12
Speaker 1: training camp live. Every day the Packers have a public practice,
22:15
Speaker 1: he'll hear as from eleven to one talking Packers football
22:18
Speaker 1: and talking about the preceedings in front of us going
22:21
Speaker 1: on on Ray and Chki Field Monday through Friday. Now, Wayne,
22:24
Speaker 1: you're right, once the pads come on, we can start
22:26
Speaker 1: really diving in and seeing some more of that offensive line,
22:30
Speaker 1: also a little bit of the defensive line. It's it's
22:32
Speaker 1: definitely remade and a little retooled. They trade out Kolby Wooden,
22:37
Speaker 1: they bring in Jayvon Hargrave, who I've been a fan
22:39
Speaker 1: of for a long time.
22:40
Speaker 3: That long emphas is a long time.
22:43
Speaker 1: He's a real vet and they haven't brought in a
22:45
Speaker 1: lot of third contract veterans before. But I like the
22:50
Speaker 1: inclusion of him alongside the newly paid Devonte Wyatt because
22:54
Speaker 1: on third and you know, medium or third and long,
22:56
Speaker 1: that feels like an interior of a defensive line that
22:59
Speaker 1: can get after some games.
23:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
23:02
Speaker 4: And you know those two guys can get to the
23:04
Speaker 4: quarterback too, if that third and short situation is such
23:08
Speaker 4: where a quarterback might have a pass play called, those
23:11
Speaker 4: two guys can push the pocket from within. I think
23:14
Speaker 4: Hard Grave, Zayir Franklin what those signings say to me
23:19
Speaker 4: is we need a little maturity, and these guys are mature.
23:23
Speaker 4: They've been there, done that many times. Are they at
23:26
Speaker 4: the absolute zenith of their power and talent? Probably not.
23:31
Speaker 4: But the Packers don't need them to be. They need
23:33
Speaker 4: them to lead. They need them in clutch situations when
23:37
Speaker 4: the tide of a game turns around against the Packers,
23:40
Speaker 4: that these are guys who know how to reverse the tide,
23:44
Speaker 4: so to speak, something they didn't have a year ago.
23:47
Speaker 2: Wayne, do you think Jonathan Gannon's is it a scheme
23:50
Speaker 2: change that was motivating some of those moves or was
23:53
Speaker 2: it just about getting new veteran talent in there? And
23:56
Speaker 2: do you think there will be a big enough scheme
23:58
Speaker 2: change from Gannon and that will help certain players, maybe
24:01
Speaker 2: Van Naz or maybe some other guys on the edge
24:03
Speaker 2: if it looks a little different to suit their skills.
24:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think the three to four look
24:08
Speaker 4: Arman gives the Packers a little more leeway to do
24:13
Speaker 4: some different things with guys like Micah Parsons when he's back,
24:17
Speaker 4: Lucas van Ness obviously, with the guys up front in
24:20
Speaker 4: the trenches, you may see a little more of an
24:22
Speaker 4: Azier stackhouse in you know, base defense a little bit.
24:26
Speaker 4: I like this Chris McClelland they drafted in the third
24:31
Speaker 4: round out of Missouri. This is a kid who's going
24:32
Speaker 4: to factor a training camp this year, number fifty five.
24:36
Speaker 5: And I think also Arman, I look for them to
24:39
Speaker 5: get a.
24:39
Speaker 4: Little more creative with Edgern Cooper and the off the
24:42
Speaker 4: ball linebackers in this defense. Because of the scheme change,
24:47
Speaker 4: they'll play a lot of zone in the secondary from
24:48
Speaker 4: what I understand, but we won't really start seeing it
24:52
Speaker 4: until the pants come on and we're at training camp
24:54
Speaker 4: and we can get a better feel for how they're
24:56
Speaker 4: going to go about their business.
24:57
Speaker 5: Now.
24:58
Speaker 1: Wayne when we're doing the show joked a number of times,
25:01
Speaker 1: it's a road game for the defense every day.
25:03
Speaker 3: People are not going to.
25:04
Speaker 1: Rain chkie field and packing those stands waiting to see
25:07
Speaker 1: sacks and PBUs if they want to see yards and
25:10
Speaker 1: catches and touchdowns and Jordan love lighting it up. But defensively,
25:14
Speaker 1: you hit it on the head with Cooper. Felt like
25:16
Speaker 1: we talked about him every single day a lot of
25:20
Speaker 1: the day because it was their defense was almost built
25:22
Speaker 1: upon and predicated on him taking a massive leap instead
25:27
Speaker 1: of somewhere stopping at good NFL starter. It feels like
25:31
Speaker 1: they're once again relying on that jump. How much of
25:34
Speaker 1: that do you think we could be able to see
25:37
Speaker 1: during camp or is that only going to be something
25:39
Speaker 1: that the proof is going to be in the putting
25:40
Speaker 1: of the seventeen game regular season.
25:43
Speaker 4: Well, I think it'd be interesting to see how Jonathan
25:45
Speaker 4: Gannon plans on deploying Edgrian Cooper.
25:49
Speaker 5: You know a lot of times.
25:50
Speaker 4: Coop is such a you know, he's such a good athlete,
25:53
Speaker 4: He covers the pass well, you know, he reads the
25:56
Speaker 4: defense well, the offense well, that kind of thing. So
26:00
Speaker 4: it looked to me like they did not deploy him
26:03
Speaker 4: to go after the quarterback and to create mayhem in
26:07
Speaker 4: the backfield as much last year as they did the
26:09
Speaker 4: year before, and consequently, his numbers, while good, were not
26:14
Speaker 4: he didn't have a lot of the splash plays he
26:16
Speaker 4: had as a rookie. I think Jonathan Gannon probably took
26:19
Speaker 4: a look at the tape and said, well, we got
26:20
Speaker 4: to figure out a way to not only take advantage
26:23
Speaker 4: of his ability to cover people out of the backfield
26:25
Speaker 4: or tight ends, but we've got to take advantage of
26:28
Speaker 4: his ability to get to the quarterback and really make
26:30
Speaker 4: something happen. So I anticipate that's one of the things
26:33
Speaker 4: I'm looking for at camp. How are they going to
26:35
Speaker 4: use Edgering Cooper. Is he going to be deployed more
26:39
Speaker 4: And you know, with Zayer Franklin, maybe they'll be more
26:42
Speaker 4: freed up with using Edgering Cooper as a blitzer and
26:47
Speaker 4: that type of thing. And I think that would be
26:48
Speaker 4: helpful to the defense in terms of creating pressure on
26:51
Speaker 4: the quarterback, especially without Micah Parsons.
26:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Packers have to find a way to
26:55
Speaker 2: take the ballway more on defense this year. I know,
26:57
Speaker 2: maybe that's not something you can find out in training camp,
26:59
Speaker 2: but maybe maybe there is. There are some methods, there
27:02
Speaker 2: is something to look for for that early on, if
27:04
Speaker 2: guys are able to jump balls more or something.
27:06
Speaker 3: Because that's got to get that's got to get better.
27:09
Speaker 3: I think for the Packers defense, wouldn't you say, Wayne.
27:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Arman and I still say this, and
27:15
Speaker 4: football people go crazy when I say it. Turnovers takeaways
27:21
Speaker 4: are largely the residue of the bounce of the ball
27:25
Speaker 4: or luck. Okay, it's something you can't control. A year
27:28
Speaker 4: ago at training camp, the whole conversation was and by
27:31
Speaker 4: the way, the Packers had thirty one turnovers takeaways if
27:34
Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, in twenty twenty four, and they were
27:38
Speaker 4: down to fourteen last year. Despite the fact that there
27:41
Speaker 4: was this huge, huge emphasis on takeaways at training camp,
27:45
Speaker 4: and especially in terms of fumbles, and if I've got
27:50
Speaker 4: this right, they had seven interceptions seven fumble recoveries all
27:53
Speaker 4: of last year as far as takeaways go.
27:56
Speaker 5: The Bears, on the other hand, leg had like thirty eight.
28:00
Speaker 4: You know, I think One of the reasons why I
28:02
Speaker 4: wouldn't put a lot of money onto the Bears this
28:04
Speaker 4: year is they won a lot of close games and
28:06
Speaker 4: come from behind fashion late in ball games. That takes
28:10
Speaker 4: some luck, say, takes some bounds of the ball, It
28:12
Speaker 4: takes a great quarterback like Caleb Williams. But also they
28:15
Speaker 4: had thirty eight takeaways, and you know what, if they
28:18
Speaker 4: get half of that, that's probably going to be pretty
28:21
Speaker 4: good for them this year.
28:22
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and they lost a lot of them just
28:24
Speaker 3: in sheer.
28:25
Speaker 1: In terms of the personnel the players, a lot of
28:27
Speaker 1: those interceptions walked right out of the door. Kevin Bayern,
28:30
Speaker 1: I think Deshaun Wright and Edmunds the linebacker, all three
28:33
Speaker 1: are gone and they were big time interceptors a year
28:36
Speaker 1: ago for the Bears. That's a difficult thing to carry over.
28:39
Speaker 1: One thing that is going to be different. We mentioned
28:40
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator, what about the special teams? Wayne rich
28:44
Speaker 1: Bisaci had been a lightning rod for us, for everybody
28:47
Speaker 1: listening to us.
28:48
Speaker 3: While we were up there.
28:49
Speaker 1: However, cam Acord is going to come in with a
28:51
Speaker 1: little bit of blank slate and we'll see how much
28:54
Speaker 1: different it is. Because he's got a brand new kicking
28:56
Speaker 1: operation as well. There for the Packers' special teams.
28:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, Trey Smack Lucas have resec WI will battle for
29:03
Speaker 4: the kicking job, and I obviously Trey Smack it's his
29:06
Speaker 4: job to lose. He was He's the draft choice, a
29:09
Speaker 4: late sixth round draft choice. They traded two seventh rounders
29:12
Speaker 4: to move into that position and draft him. They feel
29:15
Speaker 4: very good about him, but he'll have to perform and
29:18
Speaker 4: win the job. Half Reseecond is there for a reason
29:20
Speaker 4: because if it doesn't go well for the rookie kicker,
29:23
Speaker 4: they've got a better on hand. I think what is
29:26
Speaker 4: going to be the biggest change on special teams, Billy,
29:30
Speaker 4: and it has to be sky Moore is one of
29:33
Speaker 4: the most important people nobody knows about or is talking
29:36
Speaker 4: about in Green Bay, Okay, sky Moore is the kick returner,
29:40
Speaker 4: punt returner, wide receiver. I don't think it matters a
29:44
Speaker 4: whole lot what he does on offense, although I think
29:46
Speaker 4: he's capable. There's no doubt in my mind about that
29:49
Speaker 4: he's a good pro receiver. But what he can bring
29:52
Speaker 4: on special teams if he's just as good as he
29:54
Speaker 4: was a season ago at San Francisco, that will elevate
29:58
Speaker 4: Green Bay special teams because guys, the return game was
30:01
Speaker 4: almost non existent, especially from a punt return standpoint.
30:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we won't have to watch the mcole Hartman
30:07
Speaker 1: experiment that happened during one of the preseason games and
30:09

30:12
Speaker 1: this is going to be potentially an issue. It is.
30:15

Speaker 1: to talk about that and one of the coolest pinch
32:29
Speaker 1: me experiences during the draft shows doing them with Wayne
32:32
Speaker 1: being up there on the perch. Having the kind of
32:34
Speaker 1: access we have to be able to bring coverage of
32:36
Speaker 1: practice to fans.
32:38
Speaker 3: It's not.
32:40
Speaker 1: It's not like that all places, not all teams allow
32:44
Speaker 1: to have a broadcast during practice and for us to
32:47
Speaker 1: be able to give that kind of look for fans,
32:50

36:11
Speaker 3: However, the Tigers.
36:13
Speaker 1: Continue to win and continue to make it a little
36:15
Speaker 1: bit more difficult to say that you're gonna be trading
36:18
Speaker 1: Trek Skoobel Now a couple of days ago he was
36:20
Speaker 1: on the bump. They did win last night four to
36:22

36:41
Speaker 1: potentially getting back to the even Stephen Mark, But who's hot?
36:46

36:57
Speaker 1: all stars led by Corey Canable, Fames and others.
37:01
Speaker 3: They're on Team Whisking.
37:02
Speaker 2: There are some unsung heroes that are probably gonna pop
37:05
Speaker 2: up in a game like this, and I could see
37:06
Speaker 2: that happening.
37:07
Speaker 3: Somebody you don't expect might have a big one.
37:09
Speaker 2: Also for how can I go with Luke Fickle and
37:10
Speaker 2: the boys out water on the Lake yesterday? That was
37:13
Speaker 2: a great picture saw that. First of all, it's hard
37:16
Speaker 2: to do that anyway water ski. I don't think I've
37:19
Speaker 2: ever tried it tubed, But they do that and get
37:21
Speaker 2: the picture right of the selfie and everything, and uh,
37:24
Speaker 2: hey man, you gotta have fun. I mean, you know
37:26
Speaker 2: how all these things are gonna last. Luke Fickle is like,
37:28
Speaker 2: I'm going out, I'm doing this. We're gonna have fun. Boys,
37:30
Speaker 2: We're gonna be water skiing.
37:31
Speaker 1: And Colton Joseph on the on there we got um
37:35
Speaker 1: bord the tight end there in the midst Cooper Catalano
37:38
Speaker 1: coach pick. Now, that is not actually a water ski
37:42
Speaker 1: and that is a wakeboard. Arm Oh, it's a wakeboard
37:45
Speaker 1: a wakeboard, and you're closer, so there's a little bit
37:47
Speaker 1: more of like a surfing aspect that doing on that
37:49
Speaker 1: spot of it.
37:50
Speaker 3: But uh, I wouldn't expect you that.
37:52
Speaker 1: I don't expect you to be much of a water
37:54
Speaker 1: sports guy, however, and I expect big things out of
37:58
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Badgers. After watching that, after seeing that and
38:01
Speaker 1: Matt Young being one of the guys taking the picture,
38:03
Speaker 1: I feel a lot better about that. And the media
38:05
Speaker 1: day poses for sure. For sure, the one on the
38:08
Speaker 1: lake a little bit better. Final one on Who's Hot
38:10
Speaker 1: Who's Not? With Donovan Jorgensen, Heating and Cooling largest employee
38:13
Speaker 1: owned HVAC company in the state of Wisconsin. You need
38:16
Speaker 1: something with your heating or a cooling system and AC systems,
38:20
Speaker 1: you go to Donovan Jorgensen because they don't act like
38:22
Speaker 1: they do other stuff.
38:23
Speaker 3: They do heating and cooling. I don't know where you're
38:25
Speaker 3: gonna put this one on, Arman.
38:27
Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Rams just put out some new unis
38:31
Speaker 1: sweet new kits. Yeah, one of those kits gonna be
38:34
Speaker 1: debuted against the Green Bay Packers. The all white look
38:38
Speaker 1: that they got on the Wednesday night pre Thanksgiving kind
38:42
Speaker 1: of a blast towards the past of like the Deacon
38:45
Speaker 1: Jones Rams with the all white and blue.
38:48
Speaker 3: They're a lot better than the yellows.
38:50
Speaker 2: Love.
38:51
Speaker 1: Those yellows are brutal that they just put out, but
38:53
Speaker 1: the white ones are sweet.
38:54
Speaker 2: So I'm surprised with how much I like the yellows.
38:56
Speaker 2: I did not expect to like them I saw them.
38:58
Speaker 2: I'm like, they kind of look cool relatively. I always
39:02
Speaker 2: thought the Packers would have it all yellow by now,
39:04
Speaker 2: and they haven't had one. Like I thought we were gonna
39:06
Speaker 2: go full mustard for color rush. Maybe it's better we didn't.
39:09
Speaker 2: I'm not as mad at the yellow as I think
39:11
Speaker 2: but the white and blue ones do look cool, and
39:13
Speaker 2: I think that's gonna be a great kind of imagery
39:15
Speaker 2: when the past.
39:15
Speaker 3: White, the white one looks sweet. Now. The only thing
39:18
Speaker 3: the problem, I don't like what the yellow armin is
39:20
Speaker 3: you have. The the Rams had one of the perfect
39:23
Speaker 3: uniforms of all time.
39:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, the yellow pants, the blue jersey and the full
39:28
Speaker 1: ram going over the shoulder. And they got like a
39:30
Speaker 1: weird like it just looks like a basic Nike stripe
39:33
Speaker 1: on the side.
39:33
Speaker 3: Not a fan of it, but it's fanatic.
39:35
Speaker 2: You're just saying, keep the keep the yeah, because they
39:38
Speaker 2: went right back to the ram, look for the old one.
39:40
Speaker 3: Just good point. What's old is new again and good again,
39:43
Speaker 3: go right back to it. But that is what it is.

Speaker 2: Who is the smart guy that I said, Hey, Abati
40:04
Speaker 2: might be fun with toddlers.
40:07
Speaker 3: Maybe I should have thought that one through. And the
40:10
Speaker 3: undervolcano was a hit though. I think I terrorized my
40:13
Speaker 3: daughter last night when she saw them blake flames going
40:16
Speaker 3: up this other crime. Maybe I should have thought that
40:19
Speaker 3: one through. Maybe you should have.
