  Speaker 1: Yeah, while supplies last. So you got to be there early.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Most importantly, Drew, the 5 o'clock club goes overtime.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: The 5 o'clock PM club, that's going to be a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: good one.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Like our boy Jeffrey in Milwaukee was hitting us up
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: earlier this morning. He hit us up late night, last night,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: right after the game.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: This is going to be, it's going to pay off
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: to now be a double timer here on the huddle.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I believe we're one of the first, well, probably not.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I've done no research on this. One of the first
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: shows to be on at the same time and two and,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you know, spinning the clock 5 a.m.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: 5 p.m. I mean, you can't beat that. I mean,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: you can't ask for much more than that. I mean, no,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: that's perfect. Right. Perfect. I mean, if you are listening.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Online or on the stream, watching on the stream, anywhere
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: in the world, you can catch us at 5 o'clock a.m.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: or p.m.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: We'll be streaming that show, too. Yes, sir. Absolutely, we
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: will be. You know, get everything working. We'll be doing that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Jamie in Reedsburg is on line one, an actual real-life
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: person calling us on the 7 o'clock show.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Hey, Jamie. Jamie, welcome to the huddle.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Good morning, guys.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Thanks.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I just want to say after watching the game last night,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I caught the last part of the game, but it
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: reminded me of what the Cardinals used to do to
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the Brewers from like 08 to 2018. And it is
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: so sweet to be on the winning side. And it
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: is so fun that it's against the Cubs. So that's
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: just my take on it, that it's just.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Fun to watch.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And the Cubs just look lost.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: The Brewers are kicking sand in their faces. Thank you
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: for the call. And we began the show, Thomas. quoting
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Pedro Martinez, at a certain point when you've had enough,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: when it's like no matter what you do, you put
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: up runs against Miz, you have a lead late, you
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: feel like you've set the table at a certain point, Armin.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Hey, well, he put good pitches. I mean, what can
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I say? Just tip my hat and call the Yankees
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: my daddies. Pedro. I love Pedro. Brewers, my daddies.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And how many times did we do that with the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Cardinals to Jamie's point? A lot in that run. And
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I think that's a good comparison. Drew, you also caught
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: some smoke.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: From St.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Louis Cardinal fans earlier in the year when it was...
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: They're a couple of years behind. I said they're getting better,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: but they're a couple of years behind the Brewers on
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the arc of the continuum of being a really good team.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: You also said in the beginning of it, like the
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Brewers right now are the organization the Cardinals used to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: be outside of.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: The titles, right?
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Outside of titles, which absolutely is the first thing you acknowledge.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: still has to get there but for the regular season
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: organizational strength and the expectation to do a little bit
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: more with less and just be consistently pesky for nine
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: innings and 27 outs that's very much like how the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: cardinals under larusa would play and we know everyone's gonna
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: jump you know cubs have done this fans and cardinals
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: fans jump to the one thing what about world series
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: where's your trophy yeah i get that divisions don't matter
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: unless you're winning them then they matter yeah i It
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: all matters, right? And everyone wants to win a World Series.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: That's the ultimate goal. We want to win one. That's
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the ultimate goal now for the Brewers. But it doesn't
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: take away if you, you know, winning the playoffs is hard.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And if you do it or you don't do it,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it doesn't take away the rest of the body work
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you have done. It doesn't cap it off maybe the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: same way as the ultimate prize. And that's understandable because
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: that's what you play for. This is a different MLB
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: than it used to be. I mean, there are more
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: playoff rounds to get through. There is more variance in
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that result. That's just the reality of it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Now, I get it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I do the same thing to Vikings fans all the time.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I throw up championships in Bears fans, so it's fair.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing, though. The Brewers, they're establishing a pattern,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and for this little tick here, they've been consistent. And yes,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: they haven't won the big one. They're coming off a
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: year when they went to the NLCS. People forget that,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: or does that not count because they got boat raced?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, because they got boat raced,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it feels different. It feels different. But in addition to
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: winning the division, what is this going to be? Four
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: in a row? Four straight. And five of six in
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: non-COVID years or whatever?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in making the playoffs every year since 18 other
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: than 22.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: And then this last night marked the fourth time in
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a row they've won 90 games. It's only the 13th
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: time in franchise history of 56 years or 57 years
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: that they've won 90 games. 13 times in history. But
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: four years in a row of winning 90 plus.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Impressive stuff. I'm just saying.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: That's a staggering consistent run that teams are just not seeing.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: The other teams around baseball, the only other team to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: be able to put up that many wins consecutively and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: consistently is L.A., Right? I mean, LA and maybe the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Yankees would probably be right there in the mix as well.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: But they've just been so consistently good over the last
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: four years. And I still think the best part of yesterday,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: as much as the shots over at Craig Council, are sublime.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And Brewers TV, I know it's Wednesday. I'd give a
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: game ball to every Brewers TV truck executive because all
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: they've done is say dial it up more, more, more counsel.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: They have fired that and press that camera six more
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: times than I think they even envisioned or dreamed of
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: being able to.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: And it's been hilarious. They're milking that cow. Nobody's milking it.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: But also now again, I think the biggest one is
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: your two biggest arms, McGill and Mizorowski, at points yesterday struggled.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: That first inning, you could tell Miz was very frustrated.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: They jumped on him early and often. He was throwing
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: every 104-mile-an-hour fastball he had in that right arm.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: And limited the damage to one, and that was all
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: they could touch.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: When they tap McGill for that kind of hard contact
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: back-to-back days, he hadn't seen that, and that hasn't happened
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: in quite some time. And for you to go back
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and win that game, that's as deflating that you can
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: ever imagine.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: And I like that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I'm glad it happened in a way because McGill wasn't
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: going to continue that streak forever.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Relievers eventually give up runs.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So I'd rather it happen there than maybe get a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: streak going again and go into the playoffs.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: That's just the way I look at it. Maybe we
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: get it out of the way.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: They've also now picked up McGill and Mizorowski.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Multiple times. Twice in a week.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Huge.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Against the Cubs.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Miz gives up five when they're there at Wrigley, and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: they end up winning at 9-5. Grant and Miz settled
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: down after the first, so it turned out to be
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a really good start numbers-wise. But the thing is, you
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: did have some trepidation in the first because it was great.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Great start.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Like, you pump 104, and you get PCA right away. Boom,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: right away.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: That's a good feeling. You're like, all right, he's on one.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And then the Cubs peck away, and they get a
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: run off you. It was a labor of an inning
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: for him, but he got through it. Then he settled down.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: The important thing is the velocity was there. You know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: he got kind of like... because you're like, well, he's
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: throwing 103. Why are they hitting him? But that's just
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the way it goes sometimes. MLB hitters can time up fastballs.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: So it was great to see the Brewers pick up
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: McGill and Miz bounce back and settle down. I think
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: those are the two things in the myriad of things
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: last night that happened in that game.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Those are a couple of things you forget about.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: So I remember in 2011, John Axford had an amazing year.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: And I don't either blue zero or.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: One saves all year. Like he had an amazing year,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: but I think he blew one, but he did. But
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: in game five, he blew it and the Brewers had
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to pick it up and win. So sometimes it just
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: happens like that. So if McGill did it yesterday, so
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: be it. Maybe he'll get a new streak started now.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: John Oxford's still rocking that mustache.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Good question. I would like to think. I know he
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: shaved the head, which was a sad deal for the
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Flow Bros. Yeah, but you know what? He had some
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: phenomenal lettuce back.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I feel like if you're doing like a public appearance,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: maybe when it comes back to visit every now and then,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: that's when you have to.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Put it back.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: It's like with Raleigh, that probably became a burden because
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you can't just wake up.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: When you're tired. You got to wax that thing every day.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: You got to wax that thing up when someone sees you.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: It's not the same experience.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: It's like seeing a clown without his feet up.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Or having a mascot talk to you. You don't want
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: to have that.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Ryan in Denver who gave a, not
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a correction, just a little amendment, a little drop in
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: on the hot take of the Corbin Burns trade. That
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: is looking more and more like the Brewers are winning,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: kind of going away.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Orioles got one year out of Corbin Burns, didn't resign him.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Now he gets injured, sadly, with Arizona. Comes back last night.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: First start in 13, 14, 15 months from June of 2025.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Three innings.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But you got D.L. Hall rolling out of the pen now.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Joey Ortiz, been one of your most consistent hitters in
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the second half. And as Ryan in Denver points out,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: that draft pick that they also grabbed ended up being
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Blake Burke. big power hitting first baseman, the Tennessee Vol,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: who might be coming up here next year. I mean,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: like the way he has quickly ascended through, everybody talks
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: about the other Tennessee volunteer of Andrew Fisher, rightfully so,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: with 46 bombs or something. Look at Blake Burke's numbers.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: They've been pretty damn good over there at first base.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Even a better little drop in. The Brewers are kind
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: of running away with that Corbin Burns trade.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: That's right. More and more you look at it. A
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: 877-794-1973.

• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Billy's hot over that guy saying that the Seahawks and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Patriots rematch of the Super Bowl tonight is overrated and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: we'll watch, but it's a crappy matchup.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: That made Billy hot. Yeah, and you know what?
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Drew Olsen was hot for calling it. He said, I'm
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: going to get you. I'm going to get you on
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: this one.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: The more it seeped in, the more Billy's like, well,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: wait a minute.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Wait a second.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. He waited.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: It's the long offseason for the NFL and we're back now. Yeah,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: and you're going to tell me that the matchup of
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl is not what you want to see?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba just recently paid. Going up against
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Christian Gonzalez, most recently paid.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Hot. And the loudest stadium in the league, arguably, Lumen Field.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: And also hot.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: One guy that went into Lumen Field and talked some
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: smack to that Lumen Field crowd.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield hot this morning, Drew.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, baby.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Three-year extension for $ 165 million now for Baker Mayfield. Quickly
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: went from... We're done talking. I'll see you in the offseason.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I'll see you in free agency. Two, three days before
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the season, all of a sudden, phone still on, answers
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the call.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I don't care if you call me last. I got
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: the call.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: And he just got a $ 55 million pay call from
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That is a hot morning. Got
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to think he's happy about that. I know some guys
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: around the league could get more. But the thing is,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's one of those that has always been kind
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of tough to determine. And he revived his career in Tampa.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And he's played well. So, you know, not a hugely
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: long deal. But three years is whatever. Three years and
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: he gets the guaranteed money. I'd have to think he's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: happy about that now. To get that done, to get
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: that secured, Baker's buying dinner tonight. The other thing is
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you get three-year deal. That means in two years you
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: can hit him again. There's an exit clause. That means
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: you can hit him again and re-up when that thing
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: doubles up even more from the player's side of it.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Escape route. So he's now in the class of... Oh,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not escaping. I'm trying to get more.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe escape the contract and get a new one,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I guess is what I mean. If it's more from
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: them or more from somebody else, so be it. Baker's
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: now making what Jordan Love does. Right there in that line.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Because him and Darnold basically took a... copy and paste
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: contract when he went to Tampa and Darnold went to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks of like three years, a hundred million.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: We'll see. Who are the top guys? Is it Dak and- Well, Goodell. Mahomes. Well, Goodell.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Goodell would be the number one. Dak is the highest
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: paid quarterback in the NFL. It's $ 60 million guaranteed. He's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: getting every dollar of that one. Mahomes just got reworked
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: this offseason to, I think, this year he's getting 64.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: So he would probably be the number one guy here
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: this year.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: But, like, the way the logistics will fluctuate with it,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: his might be a little bit different.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Coming up.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: In two years, I'm like, there was a run where
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: he was like the 15th highest paid quarterback. But this year,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: he'll end up being the highest, just over 63, 64.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And then right there by Dak at 60. And then
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen's at that line with Baker. The
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: same one. I think Josh Allen's getting 55. There's a
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: lot of guys right there at 55. And they're all
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: 255 in a different way.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: In a different... Sure.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Mechanical mechanism to be able to get them to that 55.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Some are guaranteed, some are different. I'll take it personally.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Your boy Trevor Lawrence, 55.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Oof.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: A lot to pay for him.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: A lot.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: What do you mean? Guy just won 13 games.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: A year ago.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I know. I was just triggering you there. That was
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: just dirty work by me. Nasty work. I don't know.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: He's good. I'm not saying he's not good.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's not good. Really good coach. Really
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: good coach. And Dak Prescott 13-1 to win the MVP.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Just saying. All right, so who's hot, who's not?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, also who's hot, Jackson Churio, forehead night.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: We already knew that.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Who was looking like he was going to be very
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: much in the not category, Drew, was last night's hero,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Luis Lara, until Nestor Corridor translated that little tap on
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the chest from Murph, tapped him on the chest, fires
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: himself out there. Who is not hot would be your boy,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Jacob Webb. Jacob Webb, closer for the Cubs, has given
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: up a home run. in three straight save appearances drew
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: was the stat that you read earlier on yeah i
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: think that was maybe on the air or off the
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: air yeah and the epitome of brutality for one jacob
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: webb as he surrenders the home run that ties the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: game blows the lead uh in the ninth inning and
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: he said it after the game a described dejected webb
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: said i'm tired of letting the team down to be
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: completely honest you know It's pretty rough and pretty tough
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to watch every time I give up a homer.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Man, I love that. It is pretty tough. It is
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: pretty tough. It's tough for everybody in the dugout.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: It's not tough to watch on this side. Cubs bullpen
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: not hot. Ranks 23rd in ERA since mid-August, while giving
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: up 16 home runs.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: In that span. Second most in all of baseball.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Most expensive relievers are on their injured list, while Daniel
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Palencia still works his way back from All of the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: injuries that he's been dealing with.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: So who's hot?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Who's not?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Brewer's hot. Donovan Jorgensen.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: We've still got our current electric superhero. A little wake
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: and bake action for you as well. You can reach
• 15:57

• 16:01
  Speaker 1: The program has been brought to you by Game Day

• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the clinic in Brookfield right after the show today.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I'm on now.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: So I always see some listeners there because they know.

• 16:16
  Speaker 1: You are enjoying the huddle on a hot take hump
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: day in the good land on Fox Sports Radio.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: It looked like a big swagger. You kind of looked
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: in there, dug out. What was going through your mind
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: as you were walking to the plate? Well, like I
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: said before, I feel like I like to play a
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: lot with that pressure. That adrenaline makes me feel better.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: And thanks to that, I was able to get that bat.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Well, like I said before, I like to play with
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: that pressure. I think the adrenaline takes my game to
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: another level.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: So, you know, thanks to God for good, solid contact there. Luis,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: what do you guys think when Jackson's coming up in
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: a big moment? To be honest, I've never... To be
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: sincere with you, I was left in shock.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: There in that moment. I don't think I've ever felt
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: the feelings that I was feeling whenever he hit the
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: homer there. So just very impressive, you know, what he's
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: able to do. And yeah, that's something that I think
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: I'll remember for a long time in my career.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Time for our Current Electric Superhero of the Day, brought
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: to us by our friends at callcurrent.com.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Check them out online. And, you know, think about safety.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Safety first, Billy.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Listen, safety first because storms might be the end of summer.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: End of summer. Not yet. We still got a week
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: and a half until the solstice, correct?
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: That's right, Billy. We still got a little bit of
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: time left. Still a little bit of.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Time for those summer storms to ravage us one more time.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: So make sure that if you are thinking about it,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: you're on the fence. You call Current Electric, get an estimation,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and get an appointment to protect what matters most, your home,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: with a whole home standby generator. Receive a one-free year
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: of monitoring with purchase in September, and make sure that
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: you are going to Current Electric for all of their
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: fall specials. Call Current.com. It's CallCurrent.com. Is it anybody other
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: than Jackson Churio?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: It should be Churio.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It has to be. For the throw, D.L. Hall, for
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: his contributions, Yellich for the... hit that sparked. For keeping
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: it rolling. Keep the night alive and passing the baton.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's Churio. Christian Yelich, like every great party
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: needs one guy that walks back to the fridge and says,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: one more?
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, indeed.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: One more at bat, and then one more comes, and
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: then Jackson Churio steps in. And we've had a lot
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: of people mentioning it on the Talking Text line. You
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: could see his demeanor walking into the batter's box. He
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: felt like he was going yard. He was either going
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: to hit it out of the ballpark or Or he
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: was going to fall Carlos Gomez style with one of
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the hardest swings you've ever seen. Because he was swinging
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: for the fence early and often. And his confidence in
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the box right now is insane. No pause. That's a
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: dangerous dude stepping in with a bat in his hand
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: right now. My runner up for superhero of the day
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: behind Jackson Shurio is a fellow named Jacob Coxon.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: What's up, Coxon?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: 12 hours ago, he posted on the X, I resigned
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: pre-training research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving super intelligence
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and gambling with our lives.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: There we go. Oh, boy.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: That's a nice thing to hear on a Wednesday morning.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: all witnessed the progress. in each of these domains. Progress
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: is not slowing. The people building AI earnestly believe that
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: it could kill all of us by the end of
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the decade. Cool.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Why do we want that? This is not a marketing stunt.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: phrasing in the press to sound sensible, but I hear
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the same people express fear privately.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: No other human activity poses this level of danger.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want that. I don't want that in
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the world. I don't want all of us to die
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: in 10 years.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. It makes you want to go
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: play with your kids, right? I mean, come on.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: A common response is, if they truly believe this, why
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: are they still building it? At OpenAI, many have not
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: well understood, but they're locked in a race to get
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: there first. They believe no one else will act responsibly,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: so they must do it themselves.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Despite the risk. Got to keep pushing.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Accepting this race and entering the endgame is Hugh Brister
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Gamble and should not be launched from a private company, Slack.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Attempting to speed gun alignment should require extraordinary confidence that
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: there are no better trajectories available.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: And he's a.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Superhero just for posting this and getting people talking about it.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: But there are experts who say we have like 10
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: years left before the AI robots start the end of civilization.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: I guess there's only one thing left to do. Win
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: the whole thing. Win the whole thing, baby.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: The conversation around AI is like, and most people don't
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: realize how... uh warped it is and you wonder why
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: all these tech guys are doing what they're doing some
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: of them are end gamers anyway.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: But they're building bunkers and stuff and starting.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: To think about surviving it sounds like the 50s again
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: exactly billy what good is a panic room if they
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: know how to these ai robots they're trying to figure
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: out how to ask you like it's either alarmist or
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: real and if it's real why are we building this
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: and if it's becoming frankenstein's monster We could cure cancer
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: in 10 months and be extinct in 10 years.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I did read that it solved some math problem, though,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: that we hadn't solved. Guess what?
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't stay up late worried about the math problem
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: getting solved. I mean, it's cool that someone solved that
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: math problem, but like Will Hunting style. But like, hey,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't need that done. I do need us to
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: survive as a civilization. So that would be good if
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: maybe we just said, let's pump the brakes here and
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: focus on, I don't know, making a new candy or.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Something like that. I don't know, whatever.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I just, it's a lot to wrap your head around.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if this guy's being alarmist or not.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: The thing is, well, he's being an alarmist. He's pulling
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the alarm, but- Trying to sound the alarm on it, yeah.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: It's worth reading.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: But then, as someone pointed out, the oversight, because we
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: did a good job overseeing social media sites, right?
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Didn't we? We did a pretty good job. Yeah, right. Yeah.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Let me know.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Now we realize how screwed up everything is because they
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: went unregulated.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: My Twitter account gets back.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: The Senate Committee Responsible for Commerce and Technology Policy has
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: zero hearings on AI scheduled for the next four months.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Their top priority right now is the Protect College Sports Act.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Come on now.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: We got to make sure that we figure out how
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: we protect our young people.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Make sure the SEC stays together. Or not.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're trying to throw the power into Greg Zangie's hands. Hey, man,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: how about you kick LSU out? And by the way,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: we're going to give you the power to this AI. Billy,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: give me your hot take you gave me during the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: break about what LSU should do.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, I think they should become independent. I love it.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: If they're going to expel me, I'm going to say, sweet,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be an independent. And I'm going to
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: rival Notre Dame as the most exciting and outward independent
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: of all time.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Everyone's going to want to schedule us. Everyone's going to
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: want to go to Tiger Stadium. I'm going to go independent.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know that that's a super hot take.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: But that's if they get kicked out, which they're probably
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: not going to. Although Paul Feinbaum did during the commercial break.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I heard him call the... President from McNeese State, who's
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: now the president at LSU. The most incompetent president I've
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: ever seen in my time working in college sports.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: That's always a fun one.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: That's a glowing, glowing recommendation and endorsement from one Paul
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Feinbaum right there.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, my.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: That's a scary run.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I'm excited that we're going to be able to watch
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: football then tonight to at least be able to enjoy
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: it before it finishes us off.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: That's a scary deal. Hot take.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: The fact that Josh Jacobs' hearing has moved up to
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: tomorrow tells me that there's going to be a plea deal. Yeah,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: there's going to be some kind of resolution here pretty quick.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: And then the NFL can go ahead and act, and
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: then I think he'll get his four to six games,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: and we'll move on. Because, Drew, I think it's pretty
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: clear and obvious that they were going to need, that
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Roger Goodell was going to need to have his eyes
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: on that video before anything was done. There's not going
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: to be any decision made until he sees that video.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: And if you're the prosecution, why would you let it
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: out until we go to trial?
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: So, like, I.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: It does pay to be pro-attent.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: There's not a whole lot of court cases that generally
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: get moved up unless there's a reason for it. It
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: pays to be the running back of the Packers in
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: that sense to get this expedited.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm with you. I think we're going to
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: get a resolution pretty quickly.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: And then we'll officially know how long it's the Marshawn
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Lloyd and Caleb Johnson and Chris Brooks show. More than
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: likely this week, very much the Chris Brooks show against
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: this Brian Flores defense. That's what it's going to look like.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Kind of blitzing that they're going to be bringing at you.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: We always say, be careful what you wish for. The
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: whole let Jordan cook thing. We run the ball too much.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: You know, if you can't run the ball or I
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: was going to say, if you can't run the ball
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and you can't protect, it's going to be a tough,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: it's going to be tough sledding either way. Good piece
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: out earlier today about Jordan Morgan and the possibility from
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Spoon of how potentially healthy they can stay throughout the year.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Because it's tough to know that we're going into week one,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: and the biggest health concerns are already on the offensive
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: line with Zach Bacabuele and Aaron Banks' likelihood of either
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: being out there or not coming out on Sunday.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Now, we were entering injury report season, where we cling
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: to the injury reports and the status of guys. But
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the Packers did release their depth chart, and Bacabuele and
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Banks were listed as starters.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Listed as starters. That doesn't mean anything, though.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: No, no, it means that they'll be in there if
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: they can.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: They're healthy, but like, bet the under.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I still, I just, the Zach Bocco Buele one to
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: me is there's just only a level of confidence that
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: you can get with that injury with playing again. Like
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I was on the, in Butchie's den last night, hanging
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: out with him on his Green Bay football primer.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go back and watch that. Butchie famously-
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: busted his patella. Yes, he did.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: And I was talking to him about it. He said
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: he got cleared Drew at nine months. And now you
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: were past playing days at this point, right? Way past
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: playing days at this point. But when Butchie busted his
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: during the play, he's like, I was cleared nine months
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: and I was on the floor and I sucked. He's like,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I sucked and I wasn't myself until maybe 15 months post-op.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: And I think that's, Zach had mentioned it in the
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: offseason that he wanted to be able to play somewhat
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: in the preseason to be able to get that rust
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: off and make yourself feel somewhat more normal. And instead,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: that's going to have to come against Andrew Van Ginkle
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: and Dallas Turner.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Or it's not. It's going to come.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Because if he's not going to play this week, I
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: got real news for you. Hell no am I putting
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: him on the MetLife turf coming up in week number two.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: So if he's not playing this week, then the first
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: time he plays is at Lambeau Field on the Thursday night.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: The whole thing about get your five best out there
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Is that, is it superseded by the need to have
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: like five guys who play together and have the chemistry
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and the, you know, the relationship? Is that, because it's like,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: let him be the swing guy and start Jagger Burton
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: or whatever, whatever you're going to do.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Like commit, like, I don't know. I keep flashing back
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: to last year when they were, playing, what's his name,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: at left tackle.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, when they brought Rashid. Rashid Walker in at left tackle.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: They bring up Rashid, and it's like they had a
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: better option, and they didn't go to it.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: No, and they were trying to move Jordan Morgan everywhere
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: other than just playing him at left tackle.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: They would have been better served last year to put
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Jordan Morgan at left tackle. I will die on that hill.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Well, and I hope that he proves you very, very
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: right coming up on Sunday.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: I think he will. I have confidence in that spot.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: But I'm just saying, like, what.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Is Banks worth waiting for is what I'm saying? Or
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: do we just like start the, you know? Start the
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: rookie and let it roll. Start the rookie and just
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: start the meter on him rather than like, oh, we'll let.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: This because I'm.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Getting flashbacks to Rasheed.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: And Jordan Morgan.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: You might get your hand forced at the point. I
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: do believe the buzzsaw of US Bank Stadium is part
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: of the reason why they would be a little trepidatious
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: with starting them. Now, granted, he played in the SEC.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: It's not like he hadn't played in big-time environments, right?
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: He played big road games. But that is one of
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the loudest spots of all time. It's a brutal rush.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: That might be the only thing. Because I would be
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: with you that, in all reality, getting more opportunity for
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Jagger Burton to play than trying to cling on to
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the value of the Aaron Banks contract, the.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Juice probably ain't worth the squeeze.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: The interesting part with Anthony Belton going out to right
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: tackle and basically staying there after, what, week number one
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: of camp, when it was pretty clear he wasn't going
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: to be the starting right guard, I think some of
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: that was behind closed doors, them trying to hedge the
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: bets on Zach being healthy and say, let's make sure
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: that this dude is ready, is prepared. Didn't look great
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: in preseason, but that was now two and a half
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. Hopefully, it continues to get a little bit
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: better because it's going to have to. natural tackle, we
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: took him in the second round to play tackle, we're
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: going to put him out to the Wolves, and that
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: one might be, that's going to be the feast or
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: famine spot, because I think you can make up, I
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: think you'll be okay inside, right tackle is the one
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: where you are in a massive question, if Anthony Belton
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: is right there at right tackle, unless they know something
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: that we don't, and they like something a lot more
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: on the film, because Drew, they knew all this when
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: they cut Darian Kennard. yeah that's a good point like
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: they knew all of these concerns at right tackle were
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: a were a possibility and were a real deal when
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: they cut him two weeks ago and he played a
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: lot of football for you a year ago so i
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: think they they got more confidence maybe in anthony belton
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: than all of us do but i think we all
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: right now are having more confidence on the left side
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: and uh Let's get somebody next to Jordan Morgan that
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: he's going to play with for a while.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: A couple of YouTube comments. Xavier Gaucha.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: A couple of pessimistic ones. He said, long season for
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: the pack, maybe a short one for love. I don't
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: know what that, maybe because.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Of the offensive line. He would get hurt with the
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: offensive line.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: And then he has government is fully complicit. I don't
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: know if that's an AI take or he thinks they're complicit.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I think that's definitely an AI take.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: He loved being hurt. Who doesn't? Everyone does.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Eddie from Stal said, what's up guys? I need a
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: big greasy breakfast to cure this hangover.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Well, you're in luck.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is Wednesday, which means the Canal Street
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Cafe's got the buffet today at Pottawatomie.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Giddy up. So if you want to go down there.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: That means it's Club 50 today, too. Okay, let's go.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Club 50 goes up for the folks at Pottawatomie today.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Actually, I think my wife said that might be lunch today.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Now we're talking. Can't wait until Friday. Now we're talking.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Check out the location for tomorrow, Billy.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Let's scout out the annex a little bit. Make sure
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the table's ready. We're there tomorrow night. You might as well,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: you know, prime the pump. Well, I might as well
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: have some kind of winner for us to cash out tomorrow.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. Right? I might as well
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: get us prepared. We've got winners, winners, winners. We've got
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: 10 years left, so we'll get to get some winners.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: All right. If AI is going to kill us in
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: 10 years, can it at least help me win a
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: freaking touchdown parlay this year?
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: I'm saying exactly. Might as well just, you know.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Instead of bankrupting me worse than my own takes. All right.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: 877-794-1973.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: We've got wake and bake shenanigans up next and some
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: last minute hot takes.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Get them in for us.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: This show is flying by because the Brewers beat the
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Cubs and football starts tonight and all is right with
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: the world.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Make no mistake about why they're going over there.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: They want some of those cats that are wearing those
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: real short shorts playing Australian rules football to be playing
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: American football. More and more of those international exempt practice
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: squad guys are coming from Aussie.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: We want to see those cats.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: No longer are they only getting punters from Australia. They're
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: getting full grown mammoths coming over from New Zealand and Australia.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: And the Aussie rules football is a real deal. A
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: lot of the 49ers players were able to see it. And,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: you know, you want to talk about waking and baking?
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: You know who's not waking and baking right now?
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe they are. Waking to some baking. Okay.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: On that beautiful long flight from LA to... Well, I
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: meant like actual pig bacon. Oh, I see what you're saying.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Bacon.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Now, maybe they're baking something in that microwave as they're
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: firing up some cross at Pacific Ocean flight.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: They're still in the air. Like they're maybe half, maybe
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: a third of the way through the flight. You can
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: track it. I mean, you can track it. That's a long,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: long flight.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: They posted seven hours ago, the Rams did, off to Australia.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: So they were just posting the videos and people walking
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: onto the flight. That's a 16-hour, 17-hour flight.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: It's long, man.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: So right now, they're waking up realizing they still have
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: a full workday ahead of them in the air before
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: they land some 25, 30 hours away from playing.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: It's a weird thing, and whoever wins this game... The
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: result of this game.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Is going to be the process will be justified or
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: not justified, even though it might not matter in reality.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: People are going to justify the process of the Rams
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: getting there early and spending time there or the Niners
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: who are making this a quick work trip and all
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And it's pretty interesting how to slice and
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: dice the result of this. I fully believe the Niners
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: being there for a week will help them in week one.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: It'll definitely help them in week one. I think it'll
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: be more difficult in weeks two and three, right? But
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: like what the Rams are doing, Drew, I think is
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: definitely going to hurt them in week one, but I
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: think it's probably going to benefit them in the next
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: couple of days.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Does that make sense? Maybe it does.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe it messes them up even worse than the jet
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: lag that they would have had. Right?
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Like, I mean the- Yeah, it's a great one to
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: wrestle with. And they're going to be in the- Can't know.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: In 72 hours, they're going to spend over 30 hours
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: in a plane. Right. Play a football game and then
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: come back.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: But a lot is made of like what's better and
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: what's not and the mental process. We've heard both ways
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: about it. Like, do you want your guys to have
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: the mentality of it's a business trip? Get in, get
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: right back on the plane and get out as quick
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: as possible. Spend the least amount of time there. Make
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: it a vacation or acclimate- It's a great debate. I'm
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: not sure there's a right answer because there's a lot
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: more factors than that about who wins a football game.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: There's a lot more factors.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and just because of when you came to the
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: game and how that's not going to necessarily affect too
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: much of it, but the preparedness and readiness, alertness will.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: The other part of it is, and this is something
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: that I'll take to my dying grave. I don't know
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: that it'll be something that I think about in those
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: final couple of moments. I hope I think of some
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: more positive things than the Packers' 2022 season.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Yes. But when they go to London, what was that?
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Week five, week six, week five, five, the international game was,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: and they bypass the buy on the way back.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Then they get routed by the jets at home.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: They go on that five game losing streak and the
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: season's basically a wash from there. All they did drew
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: from the day that it got announced in the early
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: part of April to the time they played the game
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: in October and was bitch and moan about going to
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Just complain about it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: So like at some point, go over, enjoy it, make
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: the most of it.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: If that, if you can, I think it'll be okay.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I do believe it'll be okay.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: And then come back and play some football and then
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: get ready for the rest of the season. Like if
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: they would have just done, I'm not just saying, just
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: listen to the quarterback, but they would have listened to
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers done the week in London and maybe gone
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: to Buckingham palace.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: That's in London.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. They would have went to the London Bridge, would
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: have gotten some beautiful tea and biscuits over at AFC Richmond.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: They could have had a phenomenal time and then played.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I think the Niners are doing it right. Maybe it'll
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: hurt them going forward. If they're going to get hurt, though,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I think they were going to get hurt because they're
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the oldest team in football. Yeah, I mean, that's the reason, right,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: that they would because of that factor, I think. And
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: the fact is, listen, if you make it a big deal,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: if you tell your players and they feel like they're
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: supposed to be tired and overwhelmed and then they're going
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: to feel that way. And Aaron Rodgers made a big
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: stink about that. If you remember, it's like, we, we
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: should have been there longer. We should have not approached
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: it that way. We should have actually enjoyed our time.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Would they have played better? Hard to say, but I
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe, maybe they would have. It's going to
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see how different teams navigate this. I'm
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: sure they've got data on it. I'm sure they're, they
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: got to have some.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: All these things physiologically and all these things are going
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: to be analyzing the data and stuff like that.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: One last hot take of the day. It's actually a prediction,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: but it's bold. From Mitch Goldich. Oh, come on, Mitch.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Sports Illustrated senior writer. All right. His prediction is that
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: the NFC championship game will be played on a Monday.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Like this year?
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: He has the two Los Angeles teams meeting in the
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium. But his playoff bracket also
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: created the NFL's worst nightmare. Perfect storm where both LA
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: teams need to host a conference title game on the
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: same day. Delaying the league's ability to begin prepping the
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl field. In years past, the league has said
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: that such conflict in L.A. or MetLife Stadium, hold for laughter, would.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Result in pushing a conference championship game to Monday.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I think the league will have no choice but to
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: relent to this unfortunate year to do it. I spent
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: more time than I care to admit thinking about which
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: game would get bumped today. Knowing the league would probably
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: love to have strong TV ratings for the Monday experiment.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: In the end, I think because the Rams and Seahawks
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: are both on the West Coast, it would be more
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: fair to delay that game an extra day rather than
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: risk the Bills having to fly in for the AFC
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: title game. Then go home and have to fly back
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: across country with one day less of rest. Even though
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: a Chargers win would make that point moot. Bills, Chargers, Rams, Seahawks.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I'd sign up for those two games. And so far
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: as the site. And so far as the Super Bowl. Oh, God,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: that's hilarious. That would be some of the best drama
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: you could possibly have.
