5:44
Speaker 1: do you have the boys? Is it off limits for

Speaker 1: them to be around the that's the way because even
5:49

5:50
Speaker 3: Little guy Carsonan definitely he could get a full grab
5:53
Speaker 3: of that bad boy.
5:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's it. That's the one to watch out.
5:56
Speaker 1: When I'm pushing, when I'm cleaning it and pushing the
5:58
Speaker 1: grease into the grease trap. Mmm, I'm always afraid something,
6:01
Speaker 1: so I have to make sure the dog is inside
6:02
Speaker 1: it because I don't have the dog around. I don't
6:04
Speaker 1: want to get scalded or anything, and I don't want
6:06
Speaker 1: to lick it up on anything that drips. So I'm like,
6:08
Speaker 1: when I'm cleaning afterwards, I have to get the dog
6:11
Speaker 1: out of the way.
6:12
Speaker 3: Well you'll like this because, uh, because the dog now
6:13
Speaker 3: is about fourteen and my man is blind, deaf and
6:17
Speaker 3: uh everything but this every sense has been eliminated, basically
6:22
Speaker 3: outside of the sense of smell, can get the smell
6:24
Speaker 3: tail hey, smell and taste or the two things. My
6:26
Speaker 3: man knows exactly what he's doing. He almost dumped the
6:29
Speaker 3: whole bucket of hot grease. Uh from the from the tragger.
6:33
Speaker 2: Oh no, it hits right.
6:35
Speaker 3: Down onto the concrete. You already know this thing's gonna
6:38
Speaker 3: be stained like nobody's forever.
6:40
Speaker 2: Yeah. He looks around, he starts licking this. Oh no,
6:43
Speaker 2: no problem. He's laughing. He's like, what's up.
6:45
Speaker 3: That's fine, what's up, It's fine. I'll tar this thing out.
6:48
Speaker 3: You'll have to clean it up, but it'll be okay. Yeah,
6:50
Speaker 3: so it is. Uh when when dad's working that's now
6:54
Speaker 3: become a dad's office. Well, once, when we're gonna flame
6:57
Speaker 3: up one of those things we're I turned out the
6:58
Speaker 3: dot pain tak.
6:59
Speaker 2: Let's let everybody stand back.
7:01
Speaker 1: As Armond once famously said, in this building, safety first.
7:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, safety first. That's right.
7:08
Speaker 3: The day we made Armond wear a bicycle helmet the
7:10
Speaker 3: entire day, those are the d I wasn't even that
7:13
Speaker 3: was the fun time. And that's one of the most
7:16
Speaker 3: disappointing moments of about I wasn't here.
7:20
Speaker 2: Was it a fantasy punishment or something? It was something
7:22
Speaker 2: like that. Don't know why we did it. I think
7:24
Speaker 2: it was. I think it was the League of Indifference
7:25
Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaking. It was either that or yeah,
7:27
Speaker 2: I think he had to wear a helmet. And whenever
7:29
Speaker 2: someone asked why are you wearing that, he had to say,
7:30
Speaker 2: safety first. That's all he could say. That I lost
7:33
Speaker 2: a bet, just safety first.
7:34
Speaker 4: And that and the other one was bagging groceries at
7:36
Speaker 4: the vendor World. I don't think I ever did we
7:38
Speaker 4: ever did that?
7:39
Speaker 2: No, I think it might have been a bill. There
7:41
Speaker 2: were a couple of ones.
7:42
Speaker 3: Well, because when I took over the commissioner of the
7:45
Speaker 3: League of Indifference uh as the owner of Corey Chase's
7:48
Speaker 3: washing machine, there was a This was one of our
7:52
Speaker 3: former colleagues ended up winning or losing and not doing
7:56
Speaker 3: the punishment, and that ended up and that ended up
7:59
Speaker 3: just being the end of it. If something decides that
8:01
Speaker 3: you can just skate off, then it's not free that fun.
8:04
Speaker 1: That punishment was a lemonade stand on the corner of
8:07
Speaker 1: Highway one hundred and Beloit. That had to make you
8:09
Speaker 1: couldn't shut down till you got one hundred dollars one
8:11
Speaker 1: hundred bucks.
8:12
Speaker 2: Yes, you gotta do it.
8:13
Speaker 4: I mean, what we're doing here, you can't afford to
8:15
Speaker 4: not do, not be in for it.
8:16
Speaker 2: You got to commit to it.
8:17
Speaker 3: Come one of the shot clocks on for for one
8:20
Speaker 3: of my fantasy leagues. The punishment is you have to
8:23
Speaker 3: set up a stand. Uh, but you can only play
8:27
Speaker 3: the recorder. Oh, you get twenty dollars worth of tips.
8:31
Speaker 3: That's hard to do because no one's gonna give you money.
8:33
Speaker 2: These days, and only play lightly Row.
8:35
Speaker 3: So many it's gonna say lightly Row and hot cross
8:37
Speaker 3: buns to be sitting there for quite some time other quarter.
8:41
Speaker 2: Unless you find a winter rag.
8:43
Speaker 4: No.
8:43
Speaker 3: He's also on a college campus, though, so he's got
8:45
Speaker 3: a better chance, or maybe a far worse chance, like
8:49
Speaker 3: you got a chance that you have the entire campus
8:52
Speaker 3: watching you and realizing, like, brother, we don't have twenty dollars,
8:55
Speaker 3: we're not getting you any money, but.
8:57
Speaker 2: I'm putting you all over TikTok and ig.
8:59
Speaker 4: You're more likely to get like in the tip bud
9:01
Speaker 4: jar some you know, illicit things dropped in there, you know, Yeah,

Speaker 2: Yes, it wasn't great to talk about it wasn't.
9:28
Speaker 4: Were social media all complaining about the broadcasters and everything

9:54
Speaker 2: Billy obviously glad to have Billy here where we got
9:56
Speaker 2: the rest of the week.

Speaker 1: I hit the practice field, I hit the sideline and I'm.
10:09
Speaker 2: Watching everything trying to drink it all in.
10:10
Speaker 1: It's a little bit sensory overload at first, and then
10:12
Speaker 1: I settled on Evan Williams. Watched him for a while
10:15
Speaker 1: and like that, dude is good man crush the entire
10:19
Speaker 1: the NFL industrial media beat complex up at Lambeau as
10:24
Speaker 1: a man crush on the Special Teams coach.
10:26
Speaker 2: A new one.
10:26
Speaker 3: Cam A Cord just just became everyone's favorite human being
10:29
Speaker 3: up when he's like a Special Teams course.
10:31
Speaker 1: And I asked Billy this when we were when I
10:33
Speaker 1: slid in for Wayne and on training camp. Live in
10:36
Speaker 1: your experience, the Special Teams coach is generally the most
10:39
Speaker 1: caffeinated coach on the coach and every player on the team,
10:43
Speaker 1: and they're always like getting after it. They're trying to
10:45
Speaker 1: be efficient, they're trying to like they got they got
10:47
Speaker 1: a lot on their plate. But they're usually the most upbeat,
10:50
Speaker 1: the loudest. That guy, you're gonna feel that present. Gam
10:53
Speaker 1: A courts that guy, and he's wearing cleats, which he
10:55
Speaker 1: explained yesterday why he does it. I'm tired of following
10:59
Speaker 1: on my face enough because I'm one of the guys
11:01
Speaker 1: who really get into me and shove me, and like
11:03
Speaker 1: I was falling and slipping and Bobby goes, yeah, I
11:05
Speaker 1: went up against Matthew Slater, probably a Special Team's Hall
11:08
Speaker 1: of Famer, and he kept throwing me on my face,
11:10
Speaker 1: so I realized I had to stay on because.
11:11
Speaker 2: Like I weigh one hundred and sixty five pounds and
11:13
Speaker 2: I'm trying to athletes, I'm not so.
11:15
Speaker 1: But he got down and demonstrated like nuances of holding.
11:20
Speaker 1: He got down and did it on the stage in
11:21
Speaker 1: the New Media auditorium, and it was like, this is amazing.
11:25
Speaker 1: We want this, pump this into our veins. We want
11:27
Speaker 1: this guy every day to talk to us. It was
11:29
Speaker 1: very educational, It was energetic. It was like, you see
11:31
Speaker 1: why he's a successful.
11:33
Speaker 3: Coach, and it was super what's what's the word I'm
11:35
Speaker 3: looking for? Genuine right? Like yeah, and it was. It
11:38
Speaker 3: was not I'm going to show up all these guys
11:40
Speaker 3: and tell you way more and try to show off
11:42
Speaker 3: all of the knowledge I have. It was like a
11:44
Speaker 3: very very honest explanation. He robbed a moofski. He looked
11:48
Speaker 3: at he goes did that was that fairy? And Rob's
11:50
Speaker 3: like that was the best explanation that anybody could have
11:54
Speaker 3: dreamed of. Thank you, Yeah, that was far better than
11:57
Speaker 3: I could.
11:57
Speaker 2: Have ever imagined. Tilt the ball.
11:59
Speaker 1: It's like kickers, like the tilt differently and like you
12:02
Speaker 1: do it with the wind.
12:03
Speaker 3: Conditions into the wind, you need to hit the ball
12:05
Speaker 3: forward a little bit. You want to make sure that
12:07
Speaker 3: the legs swing is the same way you can move
12:09
Speaker 3: where the ball's going.
12:10
Speaker 2: With how the lean is. I think a little bit.
12:12
Speaker 1: It was eye opening because for a lot of fans
12:14
Speaker 1: that special teams coach here or whatever, just make sure
12:16
Speaker 1: you got e eleven guys out there, right first base coach,
12:20
Speaker 1: what does he do?
12:21
Speaker 2: You know, he grabs the guy's shin guard when he
12:23
Speaker 2: gets a base hit and it gives him a.
12:25
Speaker 3: High fives back in there. But I also have your eye,
12:26
Speaker 3: your your ob mine. Yeah, like come on, stop on.
12:29
Speaker 3: So it's like, what are they hitting, coach?
12:30
Speaker 2: What do they do?
12:31
Speaker 1: And trust your hands, keep your hands back, good swing,
12:33
Speaker 1: squash the bug. Yeah they they don't. They discount what
12:37
Speaker 1: the who goes into it and these dudes live it.
12:40
Speaker 1: And for him, it was like to me, it was
12:43
Speaker 1: like he he seemed to not that he was talking to.
12:45
Speaker 2: Media like he was at a coaching clinic.
12:46
Speaker 3: Yes, very much so, and it was like he was
12:48
Speaker 3: educating and the masses and it's like that's what coaches
12:51
Speaker 3: in essence are teachers. Yes, it was a it was
12:53
Speaker 3: an exceptional way of doing it, but he also went
12:57
Speaker 3: through a number of different things, like he then talked
12:59
Speaker 3: about how to prep for the wind. He's like, and
13:02
Speaker 3: it wasn't just false hustle off. Look at all the
13:03
Speaker 3: stuff that I do. He's like, I'll watch whatever game.
13:06
Speaker 3: I'll try to go back historically. If the wind's going
13:08
Speaker 3: to be in this direction, what games has it been
13:10
Speaker 3: that speed, that direction?
13:11
Speaker 2: What did it do to the ball?
13:12
Speaker 3: And That's what I'll do on Thursday night so I
13:14
Speaker 3: can go and talk to the guys on Friday. Seems
13:16
Speaker 3: remarkably well prepped. You only do that when you can
13:18
Speaker 3: only be working for Bill Belichick in special teams. If
13:22
Speaker 3: you're able to show your work right, yeah, yeah, you
13:27
Speaker 3: better be studying film and thinking about wind speeds and
13:30
Speaker 3: like every little every little bit of it. But like
13:33
Speaker 3: even the swing and like what you're actually looking for.
13:35
Speaker 3: It's like, I understand, and yes, the ball needs to go.
13:39
Speaker 2: Through the upraids.
13:39
Speaker 3: He's like, but for what I'm watching when when Trey's
13:42
Speaker 3: kicking the ball, how consistent is the contact? Is the
13:45
Speaker 3: swing the exact same way we can move the ball,
13:47
Speaker 3: so you hit the perfect sweet spot if we know
13:50
Speaker 3: that your swing with the leg is the exact same
13:52
Speaker 3: every single time. Yeah, all for you, it is uh
13:55
Speaker 3: It was really really nuanced, but it was also just
13:59
Speaker 3: broken down well.
14:00
Speaker 2: And also it made its rounds because Jonathan Gannon started
14:03
Speaker 2: his out by saying, wait, he used the whole stage.
14:06
Speaker 3: He used the whole stage. All right, I'll show you
14:08
Speaker 3: guys press No, never mind, I'm not gover mind. I'm
14:10
Speaker 3: not gonna do that. I'm not gonna then.
14:11
Speaker 2: All right.
14:12
Speaker 1: So we had that, and you know, the special teams,
14:15
Speaker 1: the nuances and the coaching and stuff like that, it's
14:18
Speaker 1: a it's a window into you know, right, think of.
14:21
Speaker 3: The special teams guys that we've had, Rich Basaccia, who
14:23
Speaker 3: would tell he would go into a lot of good
14:26
Speaker 3: rabbit hole conversation. He would dig into a lot of detail.
14:29
Speaker 3: And he's the guy every one of his peers loved.
14:30
Speaker 3: Everyone in the industry loved him. Sean Slocum a number
14:33
Speaker 3: of years ago when they used to mike him up
14:35
Speaker 3: at training camp practice, that was maybe one of the
14:37
Speaker 3: most educational and exciting parts of camp because he'd blasts
14:40
Speaker 3: through the speakers in the McCarthy days and you're hearing
14:43
Speaker 3: him riding everybody, and and Acorn has been a different
14:48
Speaker 3: breath of fresh air because he's brought in a lot
14:50
Speaker 3: more drills.
14:50
Speaker 2: He's in all of the drills. That's why he's got
14:52
Speaker 2: the cleatton because he's not trying to fall.
14:53
Speaker 1: So now I didn't see the entire availability that he had,
14:57
Speaker 1: but I was wondering if he was asked, and aboud
14:59
Speaker 1: zebra a gate the big thing about Packer's training, because I.
15:03
Speaker 2: Don't know if this happens in other markets.
15:05
Speaker 1: Because I don't follow the x accounts of reports from
15:08
Speaker 1: Bill's practice or Browns practice or Rams practice. But the
15:14
Speaker 1: scribes saw met Laflor have a conversation with the referees
15:17
Speaker 1: who were standing under the goal post and told him
15:19
Speaker 1: like not to signal whether it was good or not,
15:22
Speaker 1: because when you're standing on the sideline, you can't really
15:24
Speaker 1: tell the upright, so you get you don't have a
15:26
Speaker 1: good angle. You guys might have a better angle, it's perch,
15:29
Speaker 1: but it's still tough to tell whether kick is good
15:31
Speaker 1: or not. And so then suddenly, like because the Dumofski's
15:36
Speaker 1: and Damofski started this because he's the patron saint of
15:38
Speaker 1: punters and kickers in hangtime and like all that stuff,
15:41
Speaker 1: he's got to stop watch because they were tracking, you know,
15:45
Speaker 1: oh trace Max eight for thirteen because they do that
15:48
Speaker 1: every day, and they they they run and they published
15:52
Speaker 1: the makes and missus for a guy who gets like
15:54
Speaker 1: he kicks like seven balls in a practice if he.
15:56
Speaker 2: Kicks, he kicks five kicks yeah, five.
15:58
Speaker 1: Five, two minutes yeah, And so they keep the running score.
16:03
Speaker 1: And so Lafleur had a conversation and then suddenly the
16:05
Speaker 1: refs weren't signaling anything and they were just kind of
16:08
Speaker 1: standing there, good or no good, And then they asked
16:11
Speaker 1: about it, and Lafleur laughed and he kind of like
16:14
Speaker 1: played it off, like like, are they trying to protect
16:17
Speaker 1: dray Smack's ego?
16:18
Speaker 2: Are they trying to mess with the beat guys?
16:20
Speaker 1: And like let them guess their own, you know, you're
16:23
Speaker 1: putting it out there. And so but it is kind
16:26
Speaker 1: of funny that that happened, and I don't think that
16:28
Speaker 1: happens in other markets. And people say, oh, the Peckers
16:30
Speaker 1: media is so soft, they're all homers.
16:31
Speaker 2: They want the packers to do good. Show me what
16:34
Speaker 2: what what was the Giants kicker? How many did he make?
16:36
Speaker 2: Like no one else keeps track of that stuff. Yeah,
16:38
Speaker 2: it was.
16:40
Speaker 3: It's rare in a lot of markets to have this
16:42
Speaker 3: many dedicated every single day beat writer.
16:44
Speaker 2: Yes, there's a lot of them there.
16:47
Speaker 1: That the equivalent to me because my background was baseball.
16:49
Speaker 1: It is like being at spring training and like, well,
16:51
Speaker 1: Jackson Turio didn't hit any balls over the wall in
16:54
Speaker 1: center during his round of BP. I mean he had
16:56
Speaker 1: two out to left, but you know he didn't hit
16:58
Speaker 1: the balls to center right.
16:59
Speaker 2: So for the excruciating minutia.
17:04
Speaker 3: And I'm glad you see it the same way because
17:06
Speaker 3: his kicks to me feel like you're batting practice sweats.
17:09
Speaker 2: This wouldn't be because.
17:11
Speaker 3: I've heard some people try to retort that of like, well, no,
17:13
Speaker 3: if you're doing batting practice, those are the balls you're
17:15
Speaker 3: kicking in the Hudson Center, and these are like your
17:17
Speaker 3: spring training games when you're trotting out. I think the
17:19
Speaker 3: preseason games are more like your training game because you're
17:22
Speaker 3: actually getting a real feel. And that was the other
17:25
Speaker 3: part that Acort had mentioned there is like the wind
17:28
Speaker 3: is so significantly different. He's like a twenty five mile
17:30
Speaker 3: an hour gust. When we're standing there next to the indoor,
17:32
Speaker 3: how it's coming off. It's like we go inside and
17:35
Speaker 3: it's a very very gentle breeze. Otherwise, some days you
17:39
Speaker 3: can walk out here and it's like, oh, it's a
17:40
Speaker 3: very very light five to ten miles an hour. You
17:42
Speaker 3: get in there and it's already swirling, and it's a
17:44
Speaker 3: totally different ball game. It's like in the stadium is
17:46
Speaker 3: just so different. That's why I think it's a massive
17:50
Speaker 3: difference for Lafleur. Though, once he realized how agitated everybody
17:55
Speaker 3: was with it, that helped.
17:58
Speaker 2: The man ain't changing.
18:00
Speaker 3: Like you could tell he saw he had a vice
18:03
Speaker 3: grip on everybody in between on the right there in
18:07
Speaker 3: the midst and he's like five on two for the
18:09
Speaker 3: rest of camp. This is five on two for the
18:11
Speaker 3: rest of the camp. And I'm not letting you guys know.
18:13
Speaker 2: You guys can guess. You guys can figure out whether
18:15
Speaker 2: it's good or not.
18:16
Speaker 1: And he ain't changing that one. He's having too much fun.
18:18
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, and here's the other thing. And
18:20
Speaker 1: you mentioned like the guy's taking a bunch of swings
18:22
Speaker 1: and kicking balls inside wild practice is going on, and
18:24
Speaker 1: then he comes out and it's five so you can
18:27
Speaker 1: say that there's well, there's no pressure, but then he's
18:30
Speaker 1: kicking in front of fans and then there's there's.
18:32
Speaker 2: More pressure of that name.
18:33
Speaker 1: There's more pressure out on the field for those five
18:35
Speaker 1: kicks than there were for the ones inside. Right, But
18:38
Speaker 1: still there's no pressure because there's no he's not going
18:40
Speaker 1: to get cut for missing. And he's like, you know,
18:43
Speaker 1: maybe if he misses, uh, fifteen kicks in a row,
18:46
Speaker 1: three days in a row, maybe they'll bring in somebody
18:48
Speaker 1: to try out and be a little alarmed. But that's
18:51
Speaker 1: they got rid of him. They cut the manas after
18:53
Speaker 1: extending him. They got rid of Haversk, they got rid
18:55
Speaker 1: of the German.
18:56
Speaker 2: Kidt take long.
18:59
Speaker 3: They also don't have have roster spots to bring in
19:01
Speaker 3: competition right now exactly. And he guys down and the
19:04
Speaker 3: guys he's gonna take every kick, and you're right, and
19:06
Speaker 3: they don't have the normal.
19:08
Speaker 2: Operation or is it's not out there.
19:09
Speaker 1: So though Whalen's an accomplished holder, he's still getting used
19:13
Speaker 1: to the guy. They're still their chemistry is forming. The
19:16
Speaker 1: snaps might be a little bit high, which throws timing up.
19:18
Speaker 1: It'll it only takes a little bit to make the
19:20
Speaker 1: kick go, especially with the wind.
19:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're talking about point five one point three seconds.
19:25
Speaker 2: You got to have that thing booted off.
19:27
Speaker 1: So again, like it does when a guy goes uh
19:31
Speaker 1: over in spring training and then April hits and all
19:34
Speaker 1: of a sudden he's hot, Like we see it every year.
19:36
Speaker 2: You know.
19:37
Speaker 3: We also watched Brandon McManus go Brad Nelson last year.
19:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's shut the box.
19:41
Speaker 3: I think he missed two kicks all camps, yes, and
19:44
Speaker 3: then cost you your season. Yeah, and he didn't come through,
19:47
Speaker 3: so his own correlation usually so.
19:49
Speaker 2: But again like that, that's what we have, and they're
19:52
Speaker 2: giving an information, but there will be.
19:55
Speaker 3: No competition though, and I do think he goes one
19:58
Speaker 3: for three in Pittsburgh. I would imagine there's somebody back
20:02
Speaker 3: there coming up on the following Monday. But until Orsi's back,
20:06
Speaker 3: you don't really have an additional roster spot for competition
20:08
Speaker 3: because you have two long snappers and four healthy tight ends,
20:13
Speaker 3: and you're bringing guys up from Sheboygan to be in
20:15
Speaker 3: Cedarberg to be able to be tight ends for you.
20:17
Speaker 3: You're not in a spot where you can necessarily waste
20:20
Speaker 3: another spot on somebody that might kick.
20:22
Speaker 2: The ball three times during a practice. So much ado
20:26
Speaker 2: much ado change, not much.
20:29
Speaker 1: As I've come around to the idea that kickers don't
20:32
Speaker 1: matter until they matter.
20:33
Speaker 3: Yes, until they everyone's seeing the light. What sucks about football?
20:38
Speaker 3: Talking about kickers? That's awesome about football. Legitimately everything, everything else,
20:43
Speaker 3: everything else is great, right, all right?
20:46
Speaker 1: When we come back, halftime has arrived, Scott Dolphin's gonna
20:49
Speaker 1: pop in. We'll talk a little state Fair, We'll talk
20:50
Speaker 1: some packers, bruise, whatever, whatever flows with the conversation with
20:53
Speaker 1: Dolph Hunter is about an hour away from joining us.
20:56
Speaker 2: You're in the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Now here's traffic.
21:02
Speaker 5: I love State Fair. I don't get there as often
21:04
Speaker 5: as Summer Fester. I'm guessing you probably don't either, but
21:07
Speaker 5: it would be impossible. What I don't live one hundred yards.
21:11
Speaker 5: But the thing is, though that State Fair is a blast.
21:16
Speaker 1: I'll get there a couple of times, but we don't
21:19
Speaker 1: broadcast from there. We have a long well, we had
21:21
Speaker 1: a long history of broadcasting from the grounds at Summerfest.
21:23
Speaker 1: And this five to eight shift, unless we're gonna be
21:25
Speaker 1: talking to the livestock handlers, we wouldn't be. It's not
21:29
Speaker 1: conducive to our shift back in the day.
21:32
Speaker 5: And obviously those are two different fan bases and State
21:35
Speaker 5: Fair has a lot of there's a lot of kids,
21:37
Speaker 5: you know, with the farm stuff.
21:39
Speaker 2: That happens there, the agricultural displays.
21:41
Speaker 5: But we used to broadcast from there all the time
21:44
Speaker 5: back in the day, right on Grandstand Avenue.
21:46
Speaker 3: And serve in that nice little hut of different spots
21:49
Speaker 3: and right next to break over by the bud pavilion.
21:51
Speaker 2: You can find and there are a lot of people
21:53
Speaker 2: are rolling through.
21:54
Speaker 1: So you and the koozy crew gather and go watch
21:56
Speaker 1: some music because it's bestly cover bands.
21:58
Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta like be I need to watch
22:00
Speaker 2: some cover We're gonna check out. Here come the Mummies.
22:03
Speaker 2: There you go again.
22:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, someone actually, well you mentioned that we had a
22:06
Speaker 4: text or shout out.
22:07
Speaker 2: Thank you for shouting them out. They're really good. Oh man,
22:11
Speaker 2: they're so good.
22:12
Speaker 4: It was like, man, they they got they got the
22:14
Speaker 4: fans out there, they got an audience.
22:15
Speaker 2: Let's go. They've been around for twenty years whatever.
22:18
Speaker 5: But you know, the big thing about them is nobody
22:20
Speaker 5: knows who they are because they're mummies.
22:22
Speaker 2: But they're talented.
22:23
Speaker 5: So there's rumors that, you know, a lot of more
22:25
Speaker 5: sessions musicians and different parts of the country and stuff.
22:28
Speaker 2: That intrigue probably keeps people excited.
22:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, like the thing that they're and then like when
22:32
Speaker 4: you actually unwrap the bandages of the Mummy, the just
22:34
Speaker 4: be some regular old dudes and they're like all this,
22:38
Speaker 4: there's nothing like this when they played without makeup, right,
22:40
Speaker 4: or it's.
22:41
Speaker 3: Like wrestlers like al Capola walking you see Hall Cogan
22:44
Speaker 3: walking through the airport, like that's not the Hall doing
22:47
Speaker 3: just a guy that's right.
22:49
Speaker 2: Right exactly. But they're a lot of fun. You're right though.
22:51
Speaker 5: It's a great cover band scene, and they bring in
22:53
Speaker 5: cover bands from all over the state of Wisconsin.
22:55
Speaker 2: It's not just local ones.
22:56
Speaker 5: So you see really good cover bands from Grandstand Avenue
22:59
Speaker 5: over to ha SASA stage. You have to pay homage
23:02
Speaker 5: to the Dean of State Fair, Bobby Fris, of course,
23:06
Speaker 5: Bobby Chris.
23:07
Speaker 2: Bobby's been there forever.
23:08
Speaker 5: I think since Pork died from Pork and the Havana Dots, right,
23:11
Speaker 5: he replaced him at.
23:12
Speaker 2: SASA stage and he's been there ever since.
23:14
Speaker 1: Oh the memories I have of Wojo from the Admirals
23:16
Speaker 1: on stage singing with Pork in the Havana.
23:18
Speaker 2: Leaven till we're even we're in the parking lot their
23:24
Speaker 2: show stopping number.
23:26
Speaker 1: You'd have been raising a glass during that one.
23:30
Speaker 3: I still remember my first, my first State Fair day,
23:34
Speaker 3: and that was that was a different indoctrination into the
23:37
Speaker 3: Wisconsin State Fair was strolling around the State Fair with
23:39
Speaker 3: Wojo on a perfect You have not done State Fair
23:44
Speaker 3: until you've walked around with Joe.
23:45
Speaker 2: That's true. That's true. Or you know, and I've never
23:47
Speaker 2: done this one.
23:48
Speaker 5: I've always wanted to since I started walking with my
23:50
Speaker 5: wife and I know Boji's is a big walker. Now
23:52
Speaker 5: to woj will do these uh bar walks where they's.
23:56
Speaker 2: Walked for the arts. Ye walk for the arts.
23:58
Speaker 3: That's right.
23:59
Speaker 5: He'll leave his also on Milwaukee's southwest side and he'll
24:02
Speaker 5: walk all the way out to like Lynches on Highway
24:04
Speaker 5: one hundred and they'll have a cocktail and then they'll
24:06
Speaker 5: walk to another bar before they walk home. So you're
24:08
Speaker 5: getting a great workout and you're getting a nice bus.
24:10
Speaker 1: We're just saying that State Fair was he had a
24:12
Speaker 1: gathering of media types and people and try to try
24:15
Speaker 1: to hit every place at the fair that sold beer,
24:18
Speaker 1: every stand, every single one around.
24:20
Speaker 2: Yes, you can do that.
24:21
Speaker 1: Well yeah, well it started because well there was cut
24:23
Speaker 1: a Hey, there was the Packard Avenue walk the straw
24:26
Speaker 1: so the avenue broken dreams.
24:28
Speaker 2: Packer try to hit as many bars.
24:30
Speaker 1: Which back in the day was like, you know, there
24:32
Speaker 1: were ten bars in say every block had ten bars,
24:34
Speaker 1: one house, three bars.
24:35
Speaker 2: That's it. If you've if you're listening, you've never been
24:37
Speaker 2: to cut a hit Wisconsin.
24:38
Speaker 5: It is it's house, house, bar, house, bar that used
24:42
Speaker 5: to be a house in the house that used to
24:44
Speaker 5: be a bar, and now house that they have a
24:46
Speaker 5: bar down in their basement first level.
24:48
Speaker 2: Now is the bar that we're going to go into
24:50
Speaker 2: here on.
24:50
Speaker 1: Thanks, Why do we lead every national ranking of binge drinking?
24:55
Speaker 1: I don't know, it makes no sense. But stay Fair
24:59
Speaker 1: is like and you have melding and you have times
25:01
Speaker 1: when it just choked with people.
25:02
Speaker 2: They do a great job. The attendance has been great
25:04
Speaker 2: recent years.
25:05
Speaker 1: That's kind of what Summerfest used to be like when
25:08
Speaker 1: it was the walkways were always full and like ver
25:11
Speaker 1: and then you get the frustrating thing where the crowd
25:14
Speaker 1: changes over and there's the night crowd, but there's a
25:16
Speaker 1: day crowd, and then there's people who still pushing the
25:18
Speaker 1: stroller among the drunks and weaving around.
25:20
Speaker 5: You see that a lot of state Fair, especially grand
25:23
Speaker 5: Stand Avenue, assume I encourage I would encourage you to
25:25
Speaker 5: stay off of grand Stand Avenue if you want to
25:27
Speaker 5: avoid the most massive crowds when people are either leaving
25:30
Speaker 5: or coming in.
25:31
Speaker 2: Venture in other parts of it served by the rides,
25:33
Speaker 2: and the rides is its own vibe, which is nice.
25:35
Speaker 2: That's a different, separate entity.
25:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I'm glad you mentioned having a beer
25:39
Speaker 5: at state Fair drier because state Fair is unique and
25:42
Speaker 5: I don't know a lot of people know this, but
25:44
Speaker 5: the vendors make their own prices, So beer prices for
25:47
Speaker 5: the same exact illumin a pint of beer or cup
25:50
Speaker 5: of craft beer whatever can fluctuate by like a buck
25:53
Speaker 5: fifty depending on where you are.
25:55
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so.
25:56
Speaker 5: We scout out all the places that sell the chief
25:58
Speaker 5: bearit the fairs obviously.
26:00
Speaker 3: Uncle, he would like as Dolph you said that you'd
26:03
Speaker 3: have the jar for Summerfest. For all the beer money
26:05
Speaker 3: that you potentially do. My uncle will will be putting
26:07
Speaker 3: that stuff in the kiddy starting on August seventeenth for
26:11
Speaker 3: next year. Right, it'll get fed in all day because
26:15
Speaker 3: he lives in West Allis he's going every single day.
26:18
Speaker 3: I still remember when I turned twenty one because I
26:20
Speaker 3: turned twenty one in the middle of the State Fair run,
26:23
Speaker 3: so one of the afternoons after we rolled over there
26:26
Speaker 3: before I started football camp, and that was a different
26:29
Speaker 3: twenty first birthday because I did realize, all right, buck
26:32
Speaker 3: fifty is going to go a long way when you're
26:33
Speaker 3: realizing that's a free beer every four once.
26:35
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we were.
26:37
Speaker 3: We took quite a walk and made sure that we
26:40
Speaker 3: were getting as every deal that you possibly could on
26:42
Speaker 3: those beer prices.
26:42
Speaker 2: Epic. You not realize that. Press you remember that birthday,
26:46
Speaker 2: you know, well, I also did.
26:48
Speaker 3: I did a large number of shots in the night before,
26:50
Speaker 3: so I was I was listen.
26:53
Speaker 2: The liver was well tested, that's for sure. You know.
26:55
Speaker 5: There's ways to save I mean, everybody with the yard
26:57
Speaker 5: in West Dallas will offer you cheap with parking of it. Yeah,
27:00
Speaker 5: that's another way. You got to scout yards that you
27:02
Speaker 5: go through those neighborhoods off of eighty fourth Street Lap
27:05
Speaker 5: in that area and you try to find a cheap
27:07
Speaker 5: parking maybe the rare street parking spot that will open
27:10
Speaker 5: up in a while. I've I've been a racetrack guy
27:13
Speaker 5: for a long time. Part of that is because they
27:15
Speaker 5: saved my bacon more than I could ever say. When
27:19
Speaker 5: I potentially left my car running when I was working
27:21
Speaker 5: stay fairwell, oh boy.
27:22
Speaker 2: Oh you left it running.
27:25
Speaker 3: That's wild, dude, I like, I know you can even
27:28
Speaker 3: do that these days. Well, I guess back in the day,
27:30
Speaker 3: I left the keys in the hybrid. You get because
27:33
Speaker 3: sitting right there on the racetrack and there were four
27:35
Speaker 3: guys standing there waiting as I realized and looked around
27:38
Speaker 3: that Bucks trailer for an hour after we closed.
27:40
Speaker 2: That thing, don't where my keys? Geez.
27:44
Speaker 3: Boss Clark's like, are you sure you didn't leave him
27:46
Speaker 3: in the car, Like, there's no way I left him
27:49
Speaker 3: in the car. Well, as we walk right over there
27:51
Speaker 3: and there's four guys standing there saying we just had
27:53
Speaker 3: to see the dumb thing run over eleven hours. Did
27:58
Speaker 3: end up making the gas station?
27:59
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that.
28:01
Speaker 4: That's what second time of when you do get the
28:03
Speaker 4: drive the little part of the track while you're parking.
28:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exciting because this is it.
28:08
Speaker 4: This is my chance to you know, to put the
28:10
Speaker 4: sea bring on the track and see.
28:11
Speaker 2: What it can do. From America's legendary oval.
28:13
Speaker 3: I'm gonna really see what sixty five it looks like.
28:16
Speaker 3: Flip that thing, double it up, and that's what I'd be.
28:18
Speaker 2: I've parked on the track. I've parked on lawns.
28:20
Speaker 1: I've availed myself of shuttle buses because the bars and
28:24
Speaker 1: stallus are pretty packed.
28:25
Speaker 2: Anyway.
28:26
Speaker 5: Then I just now, I just uber, it's so much easier,
28:30
Speaker 5: so much easier. I still like to get my steps in,
28:32
Speaker 5: so I tried to. I scot off those neighborhoods. And
28:35
Speaker 5: I've also parked inside the track. If I have to
28:37
Speaker 5: work a show, for example, you know they'll they'll they'll
28:39
Speaker 5: give us that big time coveted you know, free parking pass.
28:43
Speaker 3: So it's like seventeen bucks to park. I was gonna say, yeah,
28:45
Speaker 3: it ain't. It's it's not a freebie. Now, are you
28:48
Speaker 3: gonna be over at Bailey'szimmerman or what's the.
28:50
Speaker 2: What's the show? Don't have any official duties at all
28:52
Speaker 2: this weekend?
28:53
Speaker 5: In right, Bailey's Immerman's there Saturday, and then you've got
28:55
Speaker 5: a classic show Why Nona with Melissa Ethroade on Sunday night.
28:59
Speaker 2: Should be a good show, Oh big show.
29:00
Speaker 3: And the young lady that did the halftime show, Lindsey Sterling,
29:04
Speaker 3: the uh, the violinist. Yeah, she's playing. We got to
29:08
Speaker 3: see what that was a little bit at Lambeau. That
29:09
Speaker 3: was a wild You know what.
29:11
Speaker 5: She plays Summerfest a lot, maybe every third or fourth year,
29:14
Speaker 5: and it's just amazing what she can do. She's a fiddler,
29:17
Speaker 5: she's a violinist. But the show, the production of her
29:20
Speaker 5: shows is incredible.
29:21
Speaker 2: It was a.
29:21
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving night and they did not do it justice on
29:25
Speaker 3: NBC of the light show that she put out, that
29:27
Speaker 3: was a that was an absolute banger.
29:28
Speaker 2: That's a good one to be able to say, Yeah,
29:29
Speaker 2: that's a nice addition to stay Fair.
29:31
Speaker 1: So we got the we have the convergence like we
29:34
Speaker 1: have Family Night Friday, we got the brewers at home,
29:36
Speaker 1: we got State Fair.
29:37
Speaker 3: So it's all happening right sas is. Racing Pigs presented
29:40
Speaker 3: by your Milwaukee never gets better than that.
29:42
Speaker 5: You got to check them out at least once every
29:44
Speaker 5: fair got they do like eight shows a day.
29:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, I said, thought that was where the birthplace of
29:49
Speaker 3: my sports wagering love. When I'm standing right outside of
29:56
Speaker 3: the ticket booth in my eye, i got three that's
29:58
Speaker 3: some sweet action.
30:00
Speaker 2: Dude, you're twelve. What are we doing? I thought it
30:02
Speaker 2: would have started with the sausage I.
30:03
Speaker 1: Was gonna say, yeah, you're you're sitting with your dad
30:05
Speaker 1: and your uncle's into the sausage race.
30:07
Speaker 5: Even even the old days of are you're probably not
30:09
Speaker 5: old enough? You remember the Grainy Clement sausage races on
30:12
Speaker 5: the scoreboardon County Stadium.
30:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, very that was the gateway.
30:16
Speaker 5: They'd leave the factory on what was it on Chase
30:18
Speaker 5: Avenue and then they'd run through the streets in Milwaukee
30:20
Speaker 5: by the domes and they'd end up at the ballpark.
30:22
Speaker 2: Well, and then you can get that into this.
30:24
Speaker 3: The student section races over at at Camp Randle right
30:27
Speaker 3: before Jump Around. Oh yeah, I was buying the beers
30:29
Speaker 3: once we actually leave here right after jump Around.
30:31
Speaker 1: That's awesome. That was fun times, fun times, Dolph. Did
30:34
Speaker 1: you watch the Brewers last evening? Because we spent all
30:37
Speaker 1: day yesterday talking about Kristin Yelich and then he gets
30:39
Speaker 1: cut out because Murph told people to clap for him,
30:42
Speaker 1: and look what happened.
30:43
Speaker 2: That's it. You got a couple of knocks. It's a slumpbreaker.
30:45
Speaker 2: It's done right.
30:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, yeah, we hope, and obviously that's the way
30:49
Speaker 5: this team is going to have to win deep in October.
30:52
Speaker 5: You're gonna have to do it with this talented young
30:54
Speaker 5: pitching staff and then timely hitting and you only the
30:57
Speaker 5: way the Brewers could do it, like a broken bat
30:59
Speaker 5: single and uh, you know, and Bill with the home run.
31:02
Speaker 5: That's what this team does and hopefully they can do
31:04
Speaker 5: that once Fall rolls around.
31:05
Speaker 1: Now, Dustin May making his debut this afternoon, you're gonna
31:08
Speaker 1: go over There're not gonna make it over there, but
31:10
Speaker 1: I'll be watching some.
31:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to go.
31:12
Speaker 5: We've got a new dog, so uh you know dogs,
31:15
Speaker 5: puppies have to pee a lot, so yeah, I gotta.
31:17
Speaker 2: Get home after the show. In some ways, puppies are
31:19
Speaker 2: harder to manage than newborn kids. True, one hundred percent.
31:22
Speaker 2: Take kids with you everywhere, and puppies and that so much.
31:24
Speaker 5: I'm intrigued by Redbeard though, just you could tell the
31:27
Speaker 5: talent he had was when he when he was with
31:29
Speaker 5: the Dodgers, and uh, you know what, this year, he's
31:32
Speaker 5: been pretty damn good in Saint Louis too.
31:33
Speaker 1: I'm just he he's been really good, and he's got
31:36
Speaker 1: good stuff, and it's just like, okay, let's let Chris
31:39
Speaker 1: Hook and Jim Henderson cook.
31:41
Speaker 5: And he even commented about that right at his press
31:43
Speaker 5: conference when he talked about I'm anxious to get with
31:45
Speaker 5: this pitching lab or whatever they can.
31:48
Speaker 2: Do because of what they do.
31:49
Speaker 4: And I think the confidence, you know, it's hard not
31:51
Speaker 4: to have confidence when you're pitching with these guys informed like, well,
31:54
Speaker 4: these guys are geniuses, so I know I'm gonna pitch better,
31:57
Speaker 4: and then you just believe you're just gonna start throwing better.
31:59
Speaker 2: But yeah, you guys, you do. It's it's it's a
32:01
Speaker 2: contagious thing. I'm sure you know.
32:02
Speaker 5: Kyle Harrison gushed about him, by the way, when they
32:05
Speaker 5: were together with the Red Sox. Just yeah, they were
32:07
Speaker 5: only together for a little bit, but he did gush
32:09
Speaker 5: about him.
32:10
Speaker 2: And that's funny.
32:10
Speaker 1: And the bar is pretty low because if Dustin May
32:13
Speaker 1: just like has a flat standard semi quality start, he's
32:18
Speaker 1: gonna be better than Peralta.
32:20
Speaker 2: Well, Scooba was pretty good but he lost, but lost.
32:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Casey Mice had his worst start ever in
32:24
Speaker 1: his first game as a padre.
32:25
Speaker 5: Here's my question, though, Drew, what do you do with
32:27
Speaker 5: him once the fall rolls around. If you if it's
32:29
Speaker 5: playoffs and things are tight and you have a three
32:32
Speaker 5: pitcher rotation right now, he's not in it with the
32:35
Speaker 5: three guys at the top of that list.
32:37
Speaker 2: I think he is. I do.
32:38
Speaker 3: I think he bumps out Logan Henderson, Logan Henderson, and
32:41
Speaker 3: I let Logan Henderson go to the pen. I was
32:43
Speaker 3: gonna say, I think, Logan Henderson, you can get six
32:45
Speaker 3: outs one or two different games.
32:47
Speaker 1: In that five game, he becomes Chad Patrick two point zero.
32:51
Speaker 2: Oh, and that kind of that change up would be
32:53
Speaker 2: the same way like d L.
32:54
Speaker 1: Hall, Like when he he may end up getting a
32:57
Speaker 1: start or to just eat up innings, then he becomes
33:01
Speaker 1: Ashby and like there's the bolster that and then that's
33:04
Speaker 1: the thing. And that's what's scary about the Dodgers because
33:07
Speaker 1: when they get all their guys back to kind of
33:08
Speaker 1: eight starters that most teams would take, and then if
33:11
Speaker 1: they slide those guys to the pens, like, oh my god.
33:13
Speaker 3: You might have a guy who would be a number
33:15
Speaker 3: one in a lot of rotations off the playoff roster. Yeah, yeah,
33:18
Speaker 3: we know that the class now might not make the
33:20
Speaker 3: playoff roster. And make me somebody a lot of team.
33:23
Speaker 4: It's crazy, but that's exactly what it isn't for the
33:25
Speaker 4: Brewers at this time. We know by now it's just
33:27
Speaker 4: gonna be mixing match all the way. The traditional starter
33:29
Speaker 4: model is not really gonna be.
33:31
Speaker 2: There as much.
33:31
Speaker 5: So they got guys man, I mean Andy Piz, Yes,
33:36
Speaker 5: the floor. I mean, they got guys that we don't
33:38
Speaker 5: even really talk about a lot. I mean we talk
33:41
Speaker 5: about their big dudes. But then they got yeah, guys.
33:43
Speaker 3: Like has ends up being one of their best hitters,
33:46
Speaker 3: potentially the ugliest guy in Major League basse and then
33:49
Speaker 3: also just an absolute he had a higher ope yes
33:52
Speaker 3: than show for a large bar of the year.
33:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's having a great year. They always have a
33:56
Speaker 4: guy that's having a great year amongst their.
33:58
Speaker 2: Other good years. And how are they on a what
34:00
Speaker 2: what is it now? Six game losing streak?
34:01
Speaker 3: Six game losing streak since the uh Treek Schooble trade.
34:05
Speaker 3: The Tigers are three and oh and the Dodgers are
34:07
Speaker 3: on four. Chalk that under things you love to see,
34:10
Speaker 3: you also love to see Antonio sent.
34:11
Speaker 2: To tell Drew how about it?
34:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like we might have been right on
34:15
Speaker 3: that one the guy.
34:17
Speaker 1: I thought would have the most impact because he'll pitch
34:19
Speaker 1: the most games.
34:20
Speaker 3: And Jojo Romero talked yesterday as well, sounds like he's
34:23
Speaker 3: going to be ready towards the end.
34:24
Speaker 2: Of the month, the arms going to be flash. I
34:26
Speaker 2: thought it was like middle of the month, right, yeah.
34:29
Speaker 3: They he initial timeline was later, but he said hopefully
34:33
Speaker 3: sooner rather than later.
34:34
Speaker 5: I immediately went to because I knew dustin May. But when
34:36
Speaker 5: that trade was made, I neeally went to YouTube and
34:39
Speaker 5: put on his real Oh my god, does he have
34:41
Speaker 5: some good stuff?
34:42
Speaker 4: Always nasty, always said nasty stuff. Stan Alfie's been this
34:45
Speaker 4: big thing. Always had some great stuff and got sweet stash. Yeah, great,
34:49
Speaker 4: beard is good. I love his I love his spunk.
34:52
Speaker 4: He's got some fire in that daytime.
34:54
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. Let's go. Well that's pretty good,
34:56
Speaker 2: all right. I think I found it really quick.
34:57
Speaker 4: Guys.
34:58
Speaker 2: First ever saw the drace I think wearing number.
35:01
Speaker 6: One the propers wearing number two is sausage, and wearing
35:06
Speaker 6: number three.
35:08
Speaker 2: Sausage. Who will get the county study my cross home plate? First? Yeah,
35:12
Speaker 2: well there you go.
35:13
Speaker 1: Then the hot Dog days and then they made the
35:16
Speaker 1: they maxed out the credit card in the marketing department
35:19
Speaker 1: and made the costumes and had it live.
35:21
Speaker 2: That was it they did.
35:24
Speaker 1: They came out of that that little shoot and left
35:26
Speaker 1: field and came in and finished at home Plate and stuff, so.
35:29
Speaker 4: Domes downtown, then into the country Seat and then then Imagery,
35:34
Speaker 4: and then once the video flipped, there there go the
35:37
Speaker 4: three sausages right there, the three CAUs three thought the
35:40
Speaker 4: hot dog had been there forever, but I forgot he
35:43
Speaker 4: was at it, and then then the Cherisa.
35:46
Speaker 2: I still think that my fate.
35:47
Speaker 3: One of my favorite moments was after they debuted the
35:49
Speaker 3: Charriso I believe on Survey Sero's day, and then said
35:52
Speaker 3: they were sending him down to the miners for further seasoning,
35:55
Speaker 3: for further season season that favorite trademarks on.
36:00
Speaker 5: Remember the controversy when they flipped from Clements to Johnsonville
36:03
Speaker 5: and people are like, Johnsonville doesn't even have some of
36:06
Speaker 5: these sausages, what are you doing Brewers.
36:08
Speaker 2: People got really upset, lost.
36:10
Speaker 1: Their mind, pretty amazing, And all those years that they
36:13

Speaker 3: it up in the tenth to force the second extra inning,
39:11
Speaker 3: Abrams let it off with a triple. They brought in

Speaker 3: the starter to pinch hit bunts it beautifully down the
39:17
Speaker 3: first base line, reaches base safely on the sack bunt.
39:21
Speaker 2: And then Abram scores.
39:22
Speaker 3: He comes back around or came around to score on
39:24
Speaker 3: another double later on, and the Nationals hung a six
39:27
Speaker 3: spot in that eleventh.
39:28
Speaker 2: Then he ended up putting a ten to four over
39:30
Speaker 2: the Phillies.
39:30
Speaker 3: Phillies kind of not hot, Drew they were, They've laid
