- 1:02Speaker 1: in and Karina knnecting all of us is so awesome.
- 1:06Speaker 1: We've just had a great group of sports talked the
- 1:08Speaker 1: last few months. Here. Right now, I'm wearing a cubsat
- 1:12Speaker 1: even though I'm in New York because my dad, you know,
- 1:14Speaker 1: passed away a couple of years ago, but he was
- 1:16Speaker 1: the ultimate Cub fan, would make sure we would go
- 1:19Speaker 1: every year, So this tonight matters, right. So watching the
- 1:22Speaker 1: Cubs and you're watching on the brewerge side, it's kind
- 1:24Speaker 1: of a cool little cloud we got going on. But
- 1:26Speaker 1: about me, Well, when I'm not doing a podcast or
- 1:29Speaker 1: working in radio. I'm just rolling around the shoots in
- 1:32Speaker 1: New York doing different things, going to different scenes, and
- 1:36Speaker 1: sometimes just coming home and relaxing. Sometimes with the work
- 1:39Speaker 1: we got, I like to just chill out and not
- 1:43Speaker 1: do anything sometimes, you.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Know, right, what so living in New York? Did you
- 1:48Speaker 2: grow up in New York?
- 1:50Speaker 1: Born and raised in Manhattan? And also we then moved
- 1:54Speaker 1: to Queens when I was ten years old, So I
- 1:58Speaker 1: have a bit of everything in New York. I got
- 1:59Speaker 1: a bit of New York. I got the Bronx because
- 2:02Speaker 1: the Yankee Saam Queen's couse. I lived there in the Mets,
- 2:04Speaker 1: you know, so a bit of everything. So have you
- 2:08Speaker 1: been to New York before?
- 2:10Speaker 2: No, I haven't, only via the television.
- 2:13Speaker 1: I've been to Milwaukee actually twenty years ago this year, Okay,
- 2:17Speaker 1: in Milwaukee for a science project and uh, that was
- 2:20Speaker 1: pretty cool. We went to Humboldt State Park. I'm sure
- 2:23Speaker 1: you know that, and uh, we went around town. We
- 2:26Speaker 1: were actually there when they did the Pigley Wickies fireworks
- 2:29Speaker 1: and from the University of Milwaukee, Wisconsin or University of
- 2:32Speaker 1: Wisconsin Milwaukee building. We were watching that live.
- 2:35Speaker 2: It was pretty cool, awesome, yeah, I've been. I've been
- 2:38Speaker 2: to Milwaukee, uh quite a few times. More I grew
- 2:42Speaker 2: up in Madison, Wisconsin, so I'm more familiar with Madison
- 2:46Speaker 2: and I am Milwaukee. But yeah, I I don't mind
- 2:50Speaker 2: Milwaukee that much. It's uh, it's it's definitely changed in
- 2:54Speaker 2: the last you know, twenty thirty years. But you know,
- 2:57Speaker 2: the Brewers. I love the Brewers because they're one of
- 2:59Speaker 2: the smaller market teams and they're always the underdog and
- 3:02Speaker 2: you know, one of the smaller payrolls in baseball, and
- 3:04Speaker 2: they always seem to find a way to scrap and
- 3:07Speaker 2: clow their way into the playoffs. And granted they have
- 3:11Speaker 2: lost in the first drawing in the last how many years,
- 3:13Speaker 2: but just to make it there as as a huge
- 3:15Speaker 2: feat for a team. You know.
- 3:17Speaker 1: So I gotta ask you this because here in New
- 3:20Speaker 1: York we got the privilege to watch Cazu Sabathia pitch
- 3:24Speaker 1: here and win US A championship here. But you know,
- 3:27Speaker 1: people don't realize how much of an impact he made
- 3:29Speaker 1: on Milwaukee. He helped you guys get to the playoffs
- 3:31Speaker 1: for the first time in many years. I mean, he's
- 3:34Speaker 1: a legend in Milwaukee, isn't he.
- 3:35Speaker 2: He is, and that was you know, what was half
- 3:38Speaker 2: a season. Hey, I'll take it. You know, that's just
- 3:42Speaker 2: what that team needed to get over that hump. I
- 3:43Speaker 2: mean you think of the team they had. They had
- 3:45Speaker 2: Ryan Brown, Princefield, their rookie Weeks, I mean, Corey Hart,
- 3:49Speaker 2: I mean they I mean, how many years in a
- 3:52Speaker 2: role do the Brewers have one of the top farm
- 3:53Speaker 2: systems in baseball? You know, and all the prospects that
- 3:57Speaker 2: are getting you know that turned out to be, you know,
- 3:59Speaker 2: absolute studs. Let me look at them now, they got
- 4:01Speaker 2: you know, this is this crazy. It's you know, South
- 4:04Speaker 2: Freelick they got you know, I just the list goes on.
- 4:07Speaker 2: It's it's crazy.
- 4:08Speaker 1: One of your biggest guys I really like to watch.
- 4:10Speaker 1: I think he's an acquisition though, was Jackson Cheerio? I
- 4:13Speaker 1: mean that guy just can light up a whole lineup, Candy.
- 4:16Speaker 2: They drafted him. Yeah, the him, Well, I.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Thought he was with another team before them, but I
- 4:22Speaker 1: guess not.
- 4:22Speaker 2: So.
- 4:23Speaker 1: I just know Cheerio has made an impact though with
- 4:25Speaker 1: the Brewers this year for sure.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm pretty sure he signed. He's signed
- 4:29Speaker 2: a ten yured deal last year with the Brewers. Kind
- 4:31Speaker 2: of like a Ryan Brown deal. So it's he's with
- 4:34Speaker 2: the Brewers for for the hall, I guess, you know,
- 4:36Speaker 2: for now. So that's good.
- 4:39Speaker 1: And you, by the way, you're gonna ask me what
- 4:40Speaker 1: you can ask me whatever. But I am an interview
- 4:42Speaker 1: mode also right now because I just I love get
- 4:44Speaker 1: to know people from out of town.
- 4:46Speaker 2: That's fine.
- 4:47Speaker 1: And Craig Counsel, I mean, look, he, I guess took
- 4:50Speaker 1: what the better deal was, even though he's a Milwaukee
- 4:53Speaker 1: you know, born and raised and whatnot. But are you
- 4:56Speaker 1: as bitter as the other fans or do you like
- 4:59Speaker 1: understand it? What's your take on Greg?
- 5:02Speaker 2: It's Craig. I thought I thought it was Greg Craig Counsel.
- 5:07Speaker 2: I don't you know it's it is what it is.
- 5:10Speaker 2: You know, I'll I'll go ahead and be with the
- 5:14Speaker 2: be with the Brewer fans on this because you know,
- 5:16Speaker 2: just the way, just the way he did it, you know,
- 5:17Speaker 2: the way he talked about the Cubs and stuff when
- 5:19Speaker 2: he was the coach of the Brewers. And being from Milwaukee,
- 5:21Speaker 2: you think you'd want to guide your your hometown team
- 5:26Speaker 2: to you know, how far, however far you can make it.
- 5:32Speaker 2: You know, they're they're doing a they're doing a good
- 5:35Speaker 2: job with with the coaches that they have. Now it's
- 5:39Speaker 2: I have no no good feelings for for Craig Council,
- 5:43Speaker 2: you know.
- 5:44Speaker 1: And that's why this the series and the fact that
- 5:47Speaker 1: it's down in the game five is so intriguing because
- 5:49Speaker 1: there is that Council factor in here that maybe wasn't
- 5:52Speaker 1: there another cub series before.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I just think it's you know,
- 5:59Speaker 2: it's he had a good thing going for him when
- 6:01Speaker 2: he was with the Brewers, and then on all teams
- 6:05Speaker 2: to go to it's it's like it's like Matt the
- 6:08Speaker 2: Floor going to the Bears, you know what I'm saying.
- 6:10Speaker 2: It's just it's just doesn't it just doesn't sit well
- 6:13Speaker 2: with fans, and we probably won't get over for a
- 6:15Speaker 2: long time, you know.
- 6:17Speaker 1: No, especially if they do win to night against the Brewers.
- 6:19Speaker 1: We'll have to see. But you know what all about
- 6:21Speaker 1: your TikTok is it's very sports oriented, right, So you
- 6:23Speaker 1: got the Packers, you got the Brewers. I'm sure he
- 6:26Speaker 1: followed the Bucks as well. And Giannis and what he's
- 6:28Speaker 1: gonna do. I mean, there's a lot of speculation about him,
- 6:31Speaker 1: which I don't understand. I know he's locked in for
- 6:33Speaker 1: a while with Milwaukee, isn't he.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Yeah? And you know the thing with Giannis is is
- 6:40Speaker 2: I don't know if this is gonna sound bad or not,
- 6:42Speaker 2: but I mean, do I really care? Not? Really. He's
- 6:44Speaker 2: from Europe. They're a different breed over there. His background
- 6:48Speaker 2: that he came from, he didn't have, you know, his
- 6:51Speaker 2: parents showing out millions and thousands and hundreds of thousands
- 6:55Speaker 2: for him to travel the States and play aau basketball.
- 6:58Speaker 2: He came up hard working. You know, nothing was given him.
- 7:02Speaker 2: He had to he had to, he had to, you know,
- 7:04Speaker 2: work for it. And when the brew or when the
- 7:07Speaker 2: when the Bucks drafted him, what they did for him
- 7:10Speaker 2: and what he did for the city, I think that
- 7:13Speaker 2: that just speaks speaks to him more than he doesn't
- 7:17Speaker 2: want to go to a big city team. It's not
- 7:19Speaker 2: like him. He wants to be loyal and I think
- 7:21Speaker 2: he's gonna as long as the Bucks surround him with
- 7:25Speaker 2: people that he thinks that can win a championship, he's
- 7:28Speaker 2: gonna stay there. He's loyal. He ain't gonna turn his
- 7:30Speaker 2: back on someone that gave him a chands, someone that
- 7:33Speaker 2: look what, look what By the Bucks drafted him, and and.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Doing someone he won with already. I mean people he
- 7:39Speaker 1: won in twenty twenty one already, So it's not like
- 7:41Speaker 1: he hasn't won with the Bucks.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Right And what what what happened to his family when
- 7:46Speaker 2: the Bucks drafted him, and what that was able to
- 7:49Speaker 2: provide for his family. I think that's something that's gonna
- 7:53Speaker 2: just stand out for him and ultimately ultimately make his
- 7:57Speaker 2: decision for him. You know.
- 7:59Speaker 1: So you asked me about a little bit by myself
- 8:01Speaker 1: and why I called myself One Leg Up Alex. So
- 8:03Speaker 1: for those who may not know, I was born with
- 8:05Speaker 1: one leg and I roll upbraid around New York City
- 8:08Speaker 1: on just one and I have you seen it. I
- 8:11Speaker 1: do these crutch stands where I literally stand on my
- 8:13Speaker 1: crutches and do a little like hands hands and I
- 8:17Speaker 1: decided to make it one leg Up because I literally
- 8:21Speaker 1: was having one leg up in the air as I
- 8:22Speaker 1: was doing these crutch stands. And it's become one of
- 8:25Speaker 1: the most marketable things because and with your support and
- 8:29Speaker 1: the encouragement of so much of the group as well,
- 8:31Speaker 1: I got a grant for the podcast One Leg Up Alex,
- 8:34Speaker 1: and I also have just been able to get fifty
- 8:37Speaker 1: thousand downloads, and I think a lot of that is
- 8:39Speaker 1: because over the last year I've linked up with you
- 8:41Speaker 1: guys and we all share each other's work. So that's
- 8:44Speaker 1: kind of how One Leg Up Alex came about. Is
- 8:46Speaker 1: all right, I have one leg up, one leg up.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Now let's help others have one leg up in life
- 8:51Speaker 1: as well. And that's kind of where I've been at
- 8:53Speaker 1: And you'd be surprised New York City is not as
- 8:56Speaker 1: accessible as I'd love it to be. That's why we
- 8:59Speaker 1: keep working to make sure the city has one leg up.
- 9:01Speaker 1: And then for those who may not feel encouraged actually
- 9:06Speaker 1: are discouraged, I bring on people who have one leg
- 9:09Speaker 1: up in their life to inspire others. I think that's
- 9:12Speaker 1: where I've really navigated the podcast work. Of course, I
- 9:15Speaker 1: love talking to Bob Costas and other sports figures along
- 9:18Speaker 1: the way because sports is my my bally Wick right,
- 9:21Speaker 1: But if we can talk accessibility and adaptability as well,
- 9:25Speaker 1: it helps things move things along for people.
- 9:28Speaker 2: I think, absolutely, what uh what what? What? What are
- 9:34Speaker 2: your teams like? What do you do you die hard teams?
- 9:36Speaker 2: You said, obviously your Yankees are Mets, right, your Yankees over.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Fan because I have Mets gear and I still have
- 9:46Speaker 1: met connections. So but Yankees ninety for sure.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Okay, what about basketball mix nixt all the way?
- 9:56Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what. When the Nets moved into
- 9:58Speaker 1: Brooklyn and all these Brooklyn Nights became Net fans, I said,
- 10:02Speaker 1: you are turning your back on New York's team, the Knicks.
- 10:07Speaker 1: You root it for them forever now because the Nets
- 10:10Speaker 1: are moving in, You're gonna root for them. I don't know,
- 10:12Speaker 1: it just it rub me the wrong way that Brooklyn
- 10:15Speaker 1: fans became Net fans instead of staying with the Knicks.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I like to go for the uh bro.
- 10:23Speaker 2: The Wisconsin teams, all Wisconsin teams I grew up. I
- 10:26Speaker 2: guess I a group in Madison, Wisconsin. And you know,
- 10:29Speaker 2: I was born in eighty two. So when I was
- 10:31Speaker 2: like in my in one of my teens, you know,
- 10:33Speaker 2: early teens, Wisconsin Badgers had Barry Elverarez, they had the
- 10:37Speaker 2: Three Rolls Bowls. In the nineties, they had the Ron Days,
- 10:40Speaker 2: and you think about all the guys that came from
- 10:43Speaker 2: Wisconsin that made it, you know, did big things. And
- 10:46Speaker 2: so I've always ruined it kind of for the underdog,
- 10:48Speaker 2: smaller market teams, the Bucks, you know, the Brewers. This
- 10:52Speaker 2: this is so cool, like the Packers being like one
- 10:55Speaker 2: of the smallest you know, population markets in the NFL,
- 10:59Speaker 2: and how successful what they are. The story, the story
- 11:02Speaker 2: history with you know, the Packers history and all the
- 11:05Speaker 2: greats that came through Green Bay and it just you know,
- 11:09Speaker 2: I always say you could hate people, can hate the
- 11:11Speaker 2: Packers all you want, but just I would love for
- 11:15Speaker 2: everyone to have the chance to come to Lambolefield tour
- 11:18Speaker 2: the Packers Hall of Fame, see all the history they
- 11:22Speaker 2: got reg you White, game Moore, Inclase Game Moore, and
- 11:24Speaker 2: jerseys they got, you know, stuff and back when the
- 11:27Speaker 2: Packers won the Super Bowls and Lombardi bought all the
- 11:30Speaker 2: players' wives like mink jackets and mother. It's just it's
- 11:35Speaker 2: so cool. All the history at bat Lambelefield, it's awesome.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Well, Brian, I have to I have to say, I
- 11:41Speaker 1: love that you have opposing play, opposing teams fans on here,
- 11:45Speaker 1: like you have Bear fans. You have even I think
- 11:48Speaker 1: some Lines and Vikings fans a long way too. I
- 11:50Speaker 1: mean you you mingle within the division, which I think
- 11:52Speaker 1: is respectable because some people don't want to hear other
- 11:54Speaker 1: view points, you know what I mean. So I love
- 11:57Speaker 1: that you're able to do that. Of course, my dad
- 11:59Speaker 1: major Bear fans. I mean, he just he was living
- 12:01Speaker 1: in Minnesota but became a Cub fan and a Bear
- 12:05Speaker 1: fan and a black Hawk fan. And I know that's
- 12:07Speaker 1: because he listened to it on radio when he was younger,
- 12:09Speaker 1: right when he was going to college up there. But
- 12:12Speaker 1: that's what I like that you bring him on. But
- 12:15Speaker 1: I also love that you lived in the backyard of
- 12:17Speaker 1: a Lambo. That's just the coolest thing to me.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so growing up, I don't know, some people
- 12:24Speaker 2: know the story. I grew up, like I said, just
- 12:27Speaker 2: south of Madison, so you know, I was like seven
- 12:30Speaker 2: miles south of Madison grew up. You know, I thought
- 12:33Speaker 2: it was so cool that I was living, you know,
- 12:35Speaker 2: minutes from Camp Randa Camp Arrando Stadium in Madison. There
- 12:41Speaker 2: in my early twenties, I was working full time and
- 12:45Speaker 2: then had a part time job as a as a
- 12:47Speaker 2: balancer at a bar by champ Randall. So I got
- 12:52Speaker 2: the experience kind of the college, you know, eighty to
- 12:56Speaker 2: one hundred thousand fans, drunk fans walking the streets of
- 13:00Speaker 2: on the way to, you know, to and from the
- 13:02Speaker 2: Badger Game. I may or may not.
- 13:05Speaker 1: New York we don't have that experience here because we
- 13:06Speaker 1: don't have really a college town here in New York City.
- 13:09Speaker 1: And even when they have the Games of my life,
- 13:11Speaker 1: it's not that wild, you know what I mean. It's
- 13:13Speaker 1: just it's a little low key. I would love to
- 13:15Speaker 1: go to a college town and experience that for one Saturday,
- 13:19Speaker 1: and it's pretty cool. You've gotten to for your whole life.
- 13:21Speaker 2: It sounds like I may or may not have left
- 13:24Speaker 2: my post as a bouncer while I was working with
- 13:27Speaker 2: another body that I worked with because I was knew
- 13:30Speaker 2: I was drinking on the job because we could and
- 13:33Speaker 2: may or may not have went to random house parties
- 13:35Speaker 2: around Camp Randle during my shift. But no, it's cool.
- 13:39Speaker 2: And then so by working there, the manager of the
- 13:43Speaker 2: bar was from what's from de Pier, which is five
- 13:48Speaker 2: minutes in Green Bay, right, so her her her friend,
- 13:52Speaker 2: she'd have friends from like the Pier. If I come
- 13:55Speaker 2: down and like work the beer garden, they can do
- 13:58Speaker 2: whatever work behind the bar, food whatever, food, garden, food, whatever.
- 14:02Speaker 2: And one of those happened to be which is not
- 14:04Speaker 2: my wife. And so That's how we met. We met
- 14:08Speaker 2: down there. You know, I was just gotta have a
- 14:12Speaker 2: lot of a long term relationship, and you know, I
- 14:15Speaker 2: was like, I haven't. I had no interest in this anything.
- 14:19Speaker 2: I just wanted to be single, enjoy being signal, do
- 14:22Speaker 2: whatever I wanted to do, and I had nothing to
- 14:23Speaker 2: hold me back or whatever. Nineteen years later, here we are.
- 14:28Speaker 2: You know, we're been together for nineteen married for seventeen,
- 14:30Speaker 2: you have five kids. She's from to peer. She came
- 14:35Speaker 2: down and live with me for a little lesson a
- 14:37Speaker 2: year after we got married. I had a house down there.
- 14:40Speaker 1: And then as much of a football fan as you,
- 14:42Speaker 1: I feel like that Sunday household has to be crazy
- 14:45Speaker 1: during it.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Is pretty crazy. Obviously, I'm more of a diehard than
- 14:51Speaker 2: she is. She's more worried about like the kids got
- 14:54Speaker 2: you know this for school or that for school or
- 14:56Speaker 2: this or whatever, just making sure everyone's schedule is dated
- 15:00Speaker 2: and whatnot. But she so she's swum up here. So
- 15:03Speaker 2: we moved back here, and uh yeah, it's just crazy
- 15:07Speaker 2: to just to be like, yeah, Lambo is legit like
- 15:11Speaker 2: a ten minute drive for me, you know, I mean
- 15:13Speaker 2: you're driving, you know, in a in green Bay. Next thing,
- 15:17Speaker 2: you know, boom, there's there's a big stadium. You know,
- 15:19Speaker 2: it's a huge stadium. It's like iconic stadium in Green Bay.
- 15:22Speaker 2: And it's awesome. And I never I never thought in
- 15:26Speaker 2: a million years I lived in the shadows of Lambeoufield.
- 15:28Speaker 2: You know it's pretty cool.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Now, Okay, I'll tell you my my home, my main Queen,
- 15:33Speaker 1: my main place in Queens is on Parsons Boulevard. Has
- 15:37Speaker 1: lambeau Field become Parsons Boulevard Parsons Avenue. Is it Mica
- 15:41Speaker 1: crazy now or what's the vibe like with him in town.
- 15:48Speaker 2: When he when he first came, it was, it was
- 15:50Speaker 2: it was, it was crazy. It was absolutely crazy. And
- 15:54Speaker 2: you know people are like, oh, he's not he's not
- 15:57Speaker 2: doing crazy. But he he's making other players around him better.
- 16:01Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying is it's the same effect
- 16:03Speaker 2: as like a It's like a mile like a Miles Garrett.
- 16:07Speaker 2: Miles Garrett may not get all the you know, all
- 16:09Speaker 2: the sacks, but he's forcing double and triple teams on himself,
- 16:12Speaker 2: which is freeing up other guys along the line so
- 16:15Speaker 2: they can get to the quarterback. Look at what Sean
- 16:17Speaker 2: Garry he's one of the leading sackers in the NFL.
- 16:20Speaker 2: You know, he's he's being productive off of the double
- 16:25Speaker 2: teams on Michael Parsons, and I think give him time.
- 16:29Speaker 2: You know, it's I don't know, what are your thoughts
- 16:33Speaker 2: on Michael coming to Green Bay?
- 16:36Speaker 1: Well, look, I think it's very interesting that Jerry Jones
- 16:41Speaker 1: is quoted saying he can't stop the rush. Meanwhile, the
- 16:46Speaker 1: Cowboys literally haven't been able to stop to stop the rush,
- 16:50Speaker 1: like they've been struggling without him there. I think him
- 16:54Speaker 1: leaving Dallas was I think they handled it poorly down
- 16:58Speaker 1: to Dallas, to be honest with you. But now he's
- 17:01Speaker 1: up in Green Bay, and you know what my favorite
- 17:02Speaker 1: part is, we're looking at tickets now the Giants still
- 17:06Speaker 1: have to face him. I thought we were done with
- 17:08Speaker 1: the guy. I thought we were. He was out of
- 17:10Speaker 1: our conference. That's it, We're done with him. Nope, He's
- 17:13Speaker 1: coming on November sixteenth against the Giants. It's like deja
- 17:18Speaker 1: vu for me because we were haunted by him for
- 17:21Speaker 1: like five or six years already. So yeah, in our
- 17:23Speaker 1: tickets though, we're gonna route the Giants on Because if
- 17:26Speaker 1: you're a Giant fan right now, you do have confidence.
- 17:29Speaker 1: You just beat the Eagle. You just beat the Eagles
- 17:34Speaker 1: in dominating fashion. I'm talking on my own show, really,
- 17:37Speaker 1: so thank you for giving me the space to be
- 17:39Speaker 1: fired up about this. You just beat the Eagles. I
- 17:41Speaker 1: think every Giant fan should actually go into Denver next
- 17:44Speaker 1: week thinking, yeah, we got this too, we got this too, so.
- 17:50Speaker 2: And you know too so. Everyone's like all the you
- 17:55Speaker 2: know the Packers as the Packers that you know Packers.
- 17:57Speaker 2: You know Jordan Love had a horrible game against the Cowboys.
- 17:59Speaker 2: Don't didn't he played phenomenal. He had three hundred plus
- 18:03Speaker 2: passing yards, three touchdowns. He doesn't play defense. He didn't
- 18:08Speaker 2: he up to forty points. You know what I'm saying,
- 18:11Speaker 2: Jordan Love. I think he looked great. I've said from
- 18:13Speaker 2: day one. If he can, If any quarterback in the
- 18:17Speaker 2: NFL can be upright for three to five seconds without
- 18:21Speaker 2: being touched, he's gonna find somebody. I mean, you look
- 18:25Speaker 2: at the stats when Michaeh Parsons against the Lions first game.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Granted it was the first game, but there's a stat
- 18:31Speaker 2: to where when he wasn't on the field, the defense
- 18:37Speaker 2: didn't get the Jared goff until like three point eight
- 18:41Speaker 2: almost four seconds, right.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Forty TI piss you off, though, I feel like that
- 18:46Speaker 1: pissed off so many people.
- 18:48Speaker 2: I just think the way it is it's stupid. I
- 18:49Speaker 2: think the way the NFL has it's done. But then
- 18:51Speaker 2: you look at when Michaeh Parsons was on the field
- 18:54Speaker 2: against the Lions. He was getting the quarterback in like
- 18:57Speaker 2: two point four seconds, So that's almost a second and
- 18:59Speaker 2: a half diference. That's huge. You can't have receivers out there,
- 19:04Speaker 2: cornerbacks out there chasing around receivers for five to ten seconds.
- 19:08Speaker 2: They're gonna get beat. Someone's gonna get open, someone's gonna
- 19:10Speaker 2: blow coverage, someone's gonna do whatever. So the faster you
- 19:13Speaker 2: can get to that quarterback, the faster you're gonna make
- 19:15Speaker 2: them turn the ball over and it's gonna be a
- 19:18Speaker 2: totally different game. And the Packers couldn't get to Dak
- 19:22Speaker 2: Prescott via you know the stranglations that weren't being called.
- 19:27Speaker 2: There's several times where he was they're wrapping their arms
- 19:30Speaker 2: around around his neck. They won't let them get around
- 19:32Speaker 2: that corner. I mean, they're the referend in the NFL
- 19:39Speaker 2: is terrible. I think at certain points because you can
- 19:41Speaker 2: look and see like partials is legit getting held?
- 19:46Speaker 1: Well, yeah, how about that? And then how about the
- 19:48Speaker 1: fact that and maybe you've seen it a little more
- 19:50Speaker 1: than I have. Roughing the passer callers used to be calls,
- 19:54Speaker 1: used to be bs. It used to be so stupid
- 19:57Speaker 1: at times.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Have they remember back when man viewer what Mike Kway
- 20:02Speaker 2: Matthews against the Vikings, like you couldn't even breathe on
- 20:04Speaker 2: the quarterback and they throw a flag, you know what
- 20:07Speaker 2: I'm saying. So, I mean they've got I mean the NFL.
- 20:11Speaker 2: I mean for the amount of money these players are
- 20:13Speaker 2: getting paid. If the amount of money people I mean
- 20:15Speaker 2: you gotta look at are spending on you know, gambling
- 20:19Speaker 2: and tickets and everything. You got to make sure the
- 20:21Speaker 2: refs are putting they're putting a fair product out there,
- 20:24Speaker 2: because if they're not putting on a fair product and
- 20:26Speaker 2: people are getting piss people are getting quick going the games.
- 20:28Speaker 2: It's quick buying into the NFL, you know what I mean.
- 20:31Speaker 2: It's the same spence.
- 20:32Speaker 1: I love the same spencer where you're just getting tough,
- 20:35Speaker 1: hard hitting action. Right, we don't we don't even get
- 20:38Speaker 1: that as much. And I've often thought part of it
- 20:41Speaker 1: is because these guys are making so much, are they
- 20:44Speaker 1: in a gamesmanship kind of way worried about hitting the
- 20:47Speaker 1: other guy because they all know they're making money and
- 20:49Speaker 1: they don't want to ruin each other guy. I mean,
- 20:51Speaker 1: or has the support becomes softer? What do you think?
- 20:54Speaker 2: I think. I think it's I think it's became soft.
- 20:56Speaker 2: I think I mean kind of like the NBA. You know,
- 20:59Speaker 2: everyone's all buddy buddy and they you know, they they
- 21:04Speaker 2: they they're all, like I said, they're all buddies. And
- 21:07Speaker 2: it's just it's not competitive anymore. People don't like legit,
- 21:10Speaker 2: hate each other from team to team. I mean there's
- 21:12Speaker 2: a few, I mean instances where you know, opposting players
- 21:16Speaker 2: don't like each other and whatnot. But for the most part,
- 21:19Speaker 2: I mean it's sometimes it can be tough to watch.
- 21:24Speaker 2: It really can be. You know. I always said, you know,
- 21:27Speaker 2: like in the NFL, if you're gonna get flagged for
- 21:31Speaker 2: Billy touching the quarterback on the sack, okay, give him
- 21:36Speaker 2: one good shot. Make that flag worth it, you know
- 21:39Speaker 2: what I mean, make it.
- 21:41Speaker 1: And then on the others. But offensive defensive have been
- 21:45Speaker 1: very consistent this year as well.
- 21:48Speaker 2: It has been. And I mean I can go back
- 21:50Speaker 2: and I'll point out the Cowboys game when don Tavin
- 21:53Speaker 2: Wicks was going down the sideline against the Cowboys and
- 21:57Speaker 2: he got passing inference. It wasn't all you know it was.
- 22:02Speaker 2: It was tough to watch, it really was.
- 22:07Speaker 1: No and uh and on this on this end, the Giants,
- 22:10Speaker 1: I mean they were they I don't they got a
- 22:12Speaker 1: lot of favorable calls, but they played a clean game.
- 22:15Speaker 1: I thought on on on Thursday. But we'll have to see.
- 22:20Speaker 2: I had. I love that. I love to see the
- 22:25Speaker 2: good stop. What's that?
- 22:27Speaker 1: How about scato Bow? What? What a draft?
- 22:31Speaker 2: That guy was a wrecking ball in college. Man, it
- 22:34Speaker 2: was awesome to watch him go.
- 22:38Speaker 1: No, I think was he part of the Texas game
- 22:40Speaker 1: that went for a while against Arizona State? I think
- 22:44Speaker 1: he was, wasn't he? I actually one m VP of
- 22:47Speaker 1: that that day? I heard so wow. Now in Wisconsin,
- 22:54Speaker 1: I have to ask you this because I feel like
- 22:58Speaker 1: up there in the North there's hockey in and we're
- 23:01Speaker 1: watching hockey now too, but there's no hockey in Milwaukee.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Do you wish there was?
- 23:07Speaker 2: They got the Milwaukee Admirals. It's like an amateur team
- 23:11Speaker 2: in Green Bay. They got the Green Bay Gamblers, So
- 23:13Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that's true.
- 23:15Speaker 1: See I just learned something there because I did not
- 23:16Speaker 1: know that.
- 23:17Speaker 2: But and they got hockey. They got college hockey. The
- 23:20Speaker 2: women's team has won multiple national championships along with the
- 23:24Speaker 2: men's team, So I mean hockey's They got every every
- 23:27Speaker 2: league of hockey in Wisconsin except for a professional team.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Pretty much. It's like we're having some difficulties with mister
- 23:36Speaker 2: Alex here.
- 23:39Speaker 1: I've got you. I've got you.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Okay, No, Wisconsin has hockey teams, they just don't have
- 23:44Speaker 2: a professional team, but they're known for hockey.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Well that's see. Now I got to look into that. Now,
- 23:50Speaker 1: did you grow up because I know up there everybody
- 23:52Speaker 1: plays hockey. Did you grow up playing What sports you
- 23:54Speaker 1: grew up playing? I never really knew, no, So I
- 23:57Speaker 1: grew up playing.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Soccer, baseball, basketball, football. The once I got into high school,
- 24:06Speaker 2: I just stuck with football and I did track. I
- 24:11Speaker 2: pretty much did track to stay in shape for football.
- 24:14Speaker 2: So the party sheeing kind of got to me too
- 24:20Speaker 2: as well.
- 24:20Speaker 1: So and now you're coaching your kids. How cool is that?
- 24:23Speaker 1: I heard you got a big win today.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Yeah we did. We? Uh we little Uh, So I
- 24:29Speaker 2: live into Pier. There's a river that separates that goes
- 24:33Speaker 2: it's west to Pier, then it's to Peer. There's two
- 24:34Speaker 2: different school districts and there's a big rival whatever. So
- 24:38Speaker 2: now like in fifth and sixth grade, they have youth
- 24:40Speaker 2: youth UH to peer youth football. It's fifth and sixth
- 24:42Speaker 2: grader from both sides of the river and they do it.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Like beginning of the year, there's like one hundred and
- 24:47Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty some kids that go out. We
- 24:50Speaker 2: have this big combine where you get the teams, like
- 24:53Speaker 2: like coaching staff from each team has a station and
- 24:55Speaker 2: we do certain drills like our this year, our our
- 24:58Speaker 2: team did, our coaching staff did, like the agility drills,
- 25:01Speaker 2: did the forty yard dash, you did ladder drills, you
- 25:03Speaker 2: did Cohen drills, you did sprints, we did all did
- 25:06Speaker 2: all that and then they take all the numbers from
- 25:09Speaker 2: the from the kids and they they put it into
- 25:13Speaker 2: a database and they kick out teams. So this year,
- 25:16Speaker 2: we we had a team we started off own two,
- 25:20Speaker 2: but we ended the season with a four game win
- 25:22Speaker 2: streak and the team we beat today was was previously undefeated,
- 25:26Speaker 2: so it was it was a pretty pretty good way
- 25:28Speaker 2: to finish our season.
- 25:31Speaker 1: You know, when I love the fall, I love the
- 25:34Speaker 1: football season soccer season as well, and the Crisp air.
- 25:37Speaker 1: You can't beat that, right, Brian.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Right. And that's the thing too, going back to the
- 25:42Speaker 2: coaching the sports, it's you know, it's so cool to
- 25:45Speaker 2: see like the progress that we've been with the kids
- 25:47Speaker 2: for like almost two months now, and to see them
- 25:52Speaker 2: like where they're at the point to where they're not
- 25:55Speaker 2: sure if they want to, you know, continue playing the sport,
- 25:58Speaker 2: and then they see them stick with it and progress
- 26:03Speaker 2: over five. Six, you know, eight. I'm not gonna do
- 26:06Speaker 2: you know the number after six, because I'm so sick
- 26:08Speaker 2: of hearing that combination. Six. Oh got drive me nuts,
- 26:12Speaker 2: you know, eight, you know, eight weeks with the kids,
- 26:14Speaker 2: to see them from from the first day to the
- 26:17Speaker 2: last day to the to the point we got through today,
- 26:20Speaker 2: and the joy in their face to know that they
- 26:22Speaker 2: have the confidence to do whatever they want just don't
- 26:25Speaker 2: give up, you know, And that's that's awesome. So then
- 26:28Speaker 2: now football is done. Now we're jumping into basketball. I'm
- 26:32Speaker 2: coaching sixth grade and and third grade. So I'm coaching
- 26:35Speaker 2: sixth grade boys and I'm coaching third grade girls for
- 26:38Speaker 2: my daughter, so that's but yeah, like you said, crisp,
- 26:42Speaker 2: there's nothing like a crisp fall morning, the smell of
- 26:45Speaker 2: burning leaves and football in the air.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Baseball, by the way, you score one to one still
- 26:53Speaker 1: top of the fourth. I'm going Brian's going from Milwaukee
- 26:58Speaker 1: and uh, well we should to a stream during y'uring
- 27:01Speaker 1: the Bears Packers. That would be so cool if we
- 27:04Speaker 1: can pull that up, because I know, I don't you know,
- 27:07Speaker 1: I'm not a trash talker, to be honest with you,
- 27:09Speaker 1: but I do like bring you down the game with
- 27:10Speaker 1: something that someone There's just something about that in game,
- 27:13Speaker 1: an analysis, you know.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just fun just to like watch and talk.
- 27:18Speaker 2: You know, it's just.
- 27:22Speaker 1: There we go.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, especially so you know, yeah, the Bear,
- 27:26Speaker 2: I mean, I could go on about the Bears. You know,
- 27:29Speaker 2: it's just you know, you got you got Bear friends
- 27:32Speaker 2: coming out of the woodwork, you know, for after these
- 27:35Speaker 2: last two years, and you know, where were they at
- 27:37Speaker 2: the last thirty thirty plus years when we had Farburn Rogers.
- 27:40Speaker 2: You know, it's you know, it's it's just crazy to
- 27:45Speaker 2: have them coming out of the woodwork like that. But
- 27:47Speaker 2: I guess it is what it is. So but yeah,
- 27:52Speaker 2: we got a one to one game here top of
- 27:55Speaker 2: the fourth Coupy's got one out. But yeah, I know,
- 27:59Speaker 2: like the Bear, it's just crazy. What what do you
- 28:02Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on on like like the Packers
- 28:08Speaker 2: and their quarterbacks over the last thirty years, like with
- 28:12Speaker 2: Brett Farr then going to Aaron. I mean.
- 28:17Speaker 1: When I was ready for Rodgers to complete the arc
- 28:19Speaker 1: that farv had right because he went to the Jets
- 28:22Speaker 1: to not go to the Viking as he goes to
- 28:23Speaker 1: the Steelers, but none other story. I thought the way
- 28:28Speaker 1: they did it over the years, where it was handed
- 28:31Speaker 1: off the right way, you know, it wasn't just foisted
- 28:34Speaker 1: on a rookie. They handed off the right way to
- 28:38Speaker 1: awaiting Aaron Rodgers, who was still watching Brett Favre at
- 28:41Speaker 1: his best. I mean, far there's there's nobody like it.
- 28:45Speaker 1: And I think because I grew up watching him, right,
- 28:47Speaker 1: I mean, he's the guy I grew up with watching
- 28:49Speaker 1: the most. But you're right, there is a lineage of
- 28:53Speaker 1: quarterbacks in Green Bay that every guy after Jordan love before. Well,
- 29:00Speaker 1: they're gonna want to fill those shoes. And I think
- 29:02Speaker 1: there's that precedent set. That's why every eye is on
- 29:05Speaker 1: Jordan Love every game because it is like, can you
- 29:08Speaker 1: live up to the lay of Beaux way of greatness
- 29:11Speaker 1: in the as a QB. There's no doubt about it.
- 29:14Speaker 1: There's pressure on him every game.
- 29:17Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's it's just been quite the experience to
- 29:20Speaker 2: go from Far to Riders and not watching Jordan Love
- 29:24Speaker 2: for sure, because I mean, you know, going back to
- 29:27Speaker 2: what nineteen ninety two, you just you just think of
- 29:31Speaker 2: I mean I was ten years old, you know, it's
- 29:34Speaker 2: it's I guess I've been I've been spoiled, spoiled as
- 29:38Speaker 2: a Packers fan, the witness the greatness, you know, all right.
- 29:42Speaker 1: The McCarthy era though, that was a weird one, right,
- 29:44Speaker 1: So I didn't think they ended that well with him
- 29:47Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. But and the coaching way too, Lombardi.
- 29:52Speaker 1: You have a president set there because of Vince Lombardi, right,
- 29:56Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that pressure as well. But the
- 29:59Speaker 1: McCarthy aer six ou because I just felt like it
- 30:01Speaker 1: wasn't managed right. How do you like the coaching nowadays?
- 30:04Speaker 2: Though?
- 30:08Speaker 1: And this was after he won the chip. I thought
- 30:10Speaker 1: he didn't it wasn't good. The ending was not good
- 30:13Speaker 1: With Mike McCarthy.
- 30:14Speaker 2: No, I don't think it was. I think I got
- 30:16Speaker 2: some bad blood there, and uh, I don't know, I
- 30:19Speaker 2: got I like the coaching staff now I think I
- 30:26Speaker 2: I think special teams is kind of hurting the Packers
- 30:29Speaker 2: right now, but I think it will come around. And uh,
- 30:32Speaker 2: you know, it's got to give. You's got to have
- 30:34Speaker 2: to have trust and faith in what the Packers are doing.
- 30:37Speaker 2: And uh, you know, hopefully they come on top and
- 30:41Speaker 2: compete for the for the title at the end of
- 30:43Speaker 2: the year. But you know, I don't know if they
- 30:45Speaker 2: will or not. It's just, you know, you gotta fix
- 30:48Speaker 2: You got to fix those small mistakes that keep killing
- 30:50Speaker 2: you every single day, every single game. Discipline, discipline, discipline,
- 30:54Speaker 2: like with our with our kids, with with our kids
- 30:58Speaker 2: in football. On defense, you know, he got kids to
- 31:01Speaker 2: do the double snap down set. You know when you're
- 31:07Speaker 2: told you guys.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Fran Brown of the Syracuse Orange was not happy with
- 31:12Speaker 1: the way they ended against Ukon. I mean, they wouldn't
- 31:14Speaker 1: have he ended in overtime as a win. They won,
- 31:17Speaker 1: but he had them doing sprints after the game. I mean,
- 31:20Speaker 1: that's the kind of a coaching I love to see
- 31:22Speaker 1: because look here in New York, Joe Judge was criticized
- 31:26Speaker 1: for making his guys run. You can't even run them now,
- 31:29Speaker 1: like I don't know the coaching and the then I
- 31:33Speaker 1: heard the other day this Arizona coach was fine for
- 31:36Speaker 1: being aggressive with his guy that dropped the ball, and
- 31:38Speaker 1: I don't know the one yard line. Why can't these
- 31:41Speaker 1: coaches coach? I mean, I'm sure maybe you feel that
- 31:44Speaker 1: frustration as well in the youth level, like you want
- 31:46Speaker 1: to be able to coach these kids to right to win.
- 31:49Speaker 2: And the thing is, it's like, you know, you get
- 31:52Speaker 2: you get people trying to draw you off sides by
- 31:54Speaker 2: doing hard colencer, you know, you go hot hot, you know,
- 31:58Speaker 2: just kids up on defense. You look down the line,
- 32:03Speaker 2: the ball moves, you move. That's the golden rule. You know,
- 32:07Speaker 2: some kids it takes them a while to get it.
- 32:09Speaker 2: But I think once they've been in a situation enough,
- 32:12Speaker 2: they know what they know what they're doing. Like I
- 32:14Speaker 2: couldn't be more proud of the team. So we played
- 32:16Speaker 2: this team we played today for our first game of
- 32:18Speaker 2: the season, you know, five six weeks ago and maybe
- 32:21Speaker 2: just twenty eight to six. I mean they crushed us.
- 32:23Speaker 2: I mean it was it was over before it even started.
- 32:27Speaker 2: You know.
- 32:27Speaker 1: I know, I'm actually producing a show that airs in
- 32:29Speaker 1: twenty minutes, so we're working multitasking here tonight. On with
- 32:33Speaker 1: the cheese talk. I love it. I gotta ask you
- 32:37Speaker 1: this though, because college youth sports is frustrating me that
- 32:41Speaker 1: refs don't want to ref anymore. The parents are a
- 32:43Speaker 1: little too involved. I mean, how can we change the
- 32:47Speaker 1: culture of youth sports to where let the kids play
- 32:51Speaker 1: and also make the refer word cover. How do we
- 32:55Speaker 1: change the culture of youth sports? I guess my question
- 32:57Speaker 1: because you're in it.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, it's it. I mean, you gotta
- 33:05Speaker 2: you gotta be able to I know, like what in
- 33:07Speaker 2: youth basketball and what we have going on here, like
- 33:12Speaker 2: the parents will get escorted out of the game if
- 33:14Speaker 2: they're if they're being too loud and too vocal. It's
- 33:18Speaker 2: just you know, the coaches that are supposed to coach.
- 33:20Speaker 2: You want, if you want to have a voice in
- 33:22Speaker 2: the game, maybe you should sign up to be a coach.
- 33:25Speaker 2: You know, last year in youth football, there's a coach
- 33:28Speaker 2: that was making remarks at a at an opposing player.
- 33:32Speaker 2: The coach got kicked out of the game. So I mean,
- 33:35Speaker 2: let the kids go out there and play, teach them
- 33:37Speaker 2: the game how to play it the right way. And
- 33:39Speaker 2: you know, if people want to jump in and say
- 33:42Speaker 2: you do you're doing this wrong and doing that wrong, well,
- 33:44Speaker 2: next time your kid signed up for youth football, how
- 33:46Speaker 2: about you sign up to be a coach. You know
- 33:48Speaker 2: what I mean. It's just we're taking you know, four
- 33:52Speaker 2: hours plus two so six hours a week out of
- 33:56Speaker 2: our time to help your kid, you know, you know,
- 34:00Speaker 2: try to play the game of football, teach them about
- 34:02Speaker 2: the game, and you know, help them get better. So
- 34:04Speaker 2: if you want to sit there and be a fool
- 34:07Speaker 2: and and and come after us for trying to help
- 34:10Speaker 2: your kid with the sport he's playing, then maybe you
- 34:12Speaker 2: should just next time register to be a coach.
- 34:15Speaker 1: I think also is deeper than that too, because then
- 34:17Speaker 1: you have parents afraid to totally get the kid in
- 34:20Speaker 1: this sport because they're afraid of all the injuries. How
- 34:22Speaker 1: do you recruit kids in this time where parents are
- 34:25Speaker 1: literally afraid that their kid's gonna have an issue out there.
- 34:29Speaker 2: So I think you got to put them at a position. So,
- 34:32Speaker 2: like this group of coaches that we had this year
- 34:34Speaker 2: on our team. We had the same group of coaches
- 34:37Speaker 2: last year. So last year is their first year in
- 34:39Speaker 2: the program, so we're kind of new to us. So like,
- 34:42Speaker 2: you know what we're gonna. We're gonna give it a
- 34:44Speaker 2: second round this year. We're gonna we're gonna team up
- 34:46Speaker 2: and do it again. We know what we're doing, we
- 34:48Speaker 2: know how to approach it. So like we had like
- 34:51Speaker 2: our own little individual that combine like with our players,
- 34:54Speaker 2: and you know, we had our own group chat and
- 34:56Speaker 2: texting and like, hey, we should we do this, do
- 34:58Speaker 2: this with so and so, we should move him here
- 35:00Speaker 2: to do this year? If you have parents that say, hey,
- 35:03Speaker 2: you know so and so is you know, kind of
- 35:05Speaker 2: concerned he's getting hit a lot and this and that
- 35:08Speaker 2: and never thinking where can we move him to a
- 35:09Speaker 2: spot to where he can be successful at And we
- 35:13Speaker 2: we've made moves all season long with our roster. I mean,
- 35:16Speaker 2: we only had eighteen kids in our team this year, Alex, So,
- 35:18Speaker 2: I mean you got to try to be creative with
- 35:22Speaker 2: some of these spots and absolutely eighteen, you know, so
- 35:25Speaker 2: is that a normal lower?
- 35:26Speaker 1: Is that higher than normal?
- 35:27Speaker 2: Or is that's normal? We got we had six teams
- 35:29Speaker 2: with like eighteen kids eighteen to twenty kids per team.
- 35:32Speaker 2: So you know you can't. You can't have you know,
- 35:37Speaker 2: kids that go over one hundred and twenty pounds playing
- 35:39Speaker 2: you know, quarterback and running back. They got to be
- 35:41Speaker 2: on the line, you know, you can't. There is pretty
- 35:46Speaker 2: pretty well set rules to the to the program to
- 35:48Speaker 2: where it was. I think it was unsuccessful, you know.
- 35:51Speaker 2: So it's just you just got to teach the kids
- 35:54Speaker 2: just have confidence in yourself and believe in yourself and
- 35:57Speaker 2: anything anything is possible. I mean, you know, yeah, you
- 36:00Speaker 2: got kids that are you line up across the line
- 36:03Speaker 2: from that are twice your size. It's it's not about size,
- 36:05Speaker 2: it's about how you execute it. Beat them off the ball,
- 36:08Speaker 2: hit them first, make them off balance, you know. And
- 36:12Speaker 2: and this tire a mount you know.
- 36:14Speaker 1: One of your Milwaukee standout's Andrew Vaughan just hit a homer.
- 36:17Speaker 1: By the way, So now now the Brewers up two
- 36:20Speaker 1: to one. So that's kind of a interesting development in there.
- 36:23Speaker 2: No thank you, thank you White Sox now.
- 36:27Speaker 1: Right now, when that's where I know the name from. Now,
- 36:30Speaker 1: see you were on the pod, but if you were
- 36:32Speaker 1: watching this by yourself, right and by the way we're
- 36:33Speaker 1: going to podcast is also one that up Alex, because
- 36:36Speaker 1: I want you people to know cheese talk pot. I
- 36:37Speaker 1: want people to know about this because you're doing a
- 36:39Speaker 1: lot of great work. But when you're not doing this,
- 36:43Speaker 1: are you jumping around screaming around the house or are
- 36:45Speaker 1: you a little more mellow? When these both.
- 36:48Speaker 2: I'm you want to know what I'm a little bit
- 36:51Speaker 2: more mellow? Uh, I've I've come to the realization that
- 36:56Speaker 2: no matter what I do or what I say, I
- 36:59Speaker 2: can't control the game. But what I can control is
- 37:02Speaker 2: like my emotion and like how I acted, And I
- 37:06Speaker 2: mean it was like a high, like a high important game,
- 37:09Speaker 2: like maybe like a playoff game for the Packers or
- 37:11Speaker 2: you know, like the Brewers. Here, I might be get
- 37:14Speaker 2: a little maybe a little jacked up, but I go
- 37:17Speaker 2: back to thinking like if I were if I were
- 37:21Speaker 2: still drinking, like during the during the football season. I mean,
- 37:27Speaker 2: I was a master in Packer games for the most part.
- 37:30Speaker 2: Like when I drank, it'll actually be November first, will
- 37:34Speaker 2: be four years alcohol free for me. So when I drank,
- 37:39Speaker 2: I didn't like having warm, warm alcohol, so I drink it.
- 37:43Speaker 2: Well it was still cold, you know what I'm saying,
- 37:46Speaker 2: and I just I have no need, no desire, no
- 37:50Speaker 2: no just no nothing to everyoneant to touch alcohol again.
- 37:54Speaker 2: I got too much to lose if I were to
- 37:57Speaker 2: drinking and and my kids needed to go some where,
- 38:00Speaker 2: I put them in a situation to where it wasn't
- 38:02Speaker 2: fair to them. It ain't fair to the other people
- 38:05Speaker 2: on the road that are driving that you know, I'd
- 38:08Speaker 2: be under the influence. It's just this stupid I got
- 38:11Speaker 2: DUI when I was twenty two, and you know, it's
- 38:15Speaker 2: it's it's just it's I'm going at the time of
- 38:18Speaker 2: my life. But I mean I might get like I said,
- 38:20Speaker 2: I might get a little excited, a little happy because
- 38:23Speaker 2: because I know the Breweries haven't gotten past you know,
- 38:25Speaker 2: the first round and in quite some time, and uh
- 38:31Speaker 2: you know, I yeah, I mean if they if they
- 38:35Speaker 2: win here, I might get a little excited. You know
- 38:38Speaker 2: what's it now? Three to one, no, two to one? Yeah,
- 38:43Speaker 2: I think you're think you're a little ahead of me.
- 38:45Speaker 2: I got a little little bit of a delay at
- 38:47Speaker 2: my on my end. So yeah, what are your thoughts
- 38:58Speaker 2: on the Yankees this year? Alex Brewers got what two
- 39:06Speaker 2: on one out and the Cubs are making mistakes. Man,
- 39:20Speaker 2: you can't do that in game five. Oh if we
- 39:28Speaker 2: lose them, Alex come back. Yeah, Brewers two to one.
- 39:36Speaker 2: We're we're there. What's going on over there? Man? You're
- 39:41Speaker 2: having issues? Okay, Yeah, I got you.
- 39:54Speaker 1: All right, We're back now. No, I mean, it's I
- 40:00Speaker 1: love that you shared your story though. That means that
- 40:05Speaker 1: means a lot to hear because I've been dealing with
- 40:07Speaker 1: my own thing in the sense of I had to
- 40:09Speaker 1: stop doing that because I had golfstones last year and
- 40:11Speaker 1: I just stopped drinking entirely. It's really good. It's actually
- 40:14Speaker 1: better for my life that I don't do that either.
- 40:16Speaker 1: So yeah, we're in the same boat.
- 40:19Speaker 2: My wife, My wife sold Like I said, back when
- 40:22Speaker 2: we first met, and I was a baluncer at a
- 40:24Speaker 2: bar and she was working in the food court or
- 40:26Speaker 2: the food food garden, beer garden, whatever, and during Badger
- 40:29Speaker 2: games and her first initial reaction was who the f
- 40:33Speaker 2: is that guy? And that guy was me? So yeah,
- 40:40Speaker 2: that's that's that's how bad I was. But uh, well
- 40:45Speaker 2: we've had all.
- 40:45Speaker 1: Those moments, all those moments, but it uh, it's a
- 40:49Speaker 1: sign of maturing not to do that anymore. Anyway, back
- 40:51Speaker 1: to the excitement of sports. Yeah, I'm almost the same
- 40:54Speaker 1: in that. I mean, I guess my fiance was here
- 40:58Speaker 1: with us. By the way, can attest to do I
- 40:59Speaker 1: get a sighted hunt or what? Do I still jump around?
- 41:04Speaker 1: I guess I do a little bit. But I'm more
- 41:06Speaker 1: of a superstitious guy. So I literally will place my
- 41:09Speaker 1: hat where the Yanks one where I had the day before.
- 41:12Speaker 1: I'll place that same spot because they want I'm so
- 41:15Speaker 1: super titch just like that. Do you have superstitions, Brian
- 41:17Speaker 1: or what?
- 41:19Speaker 2: Not? Really? I mean, oddly enough, I have, Like my
- 41:23Speaker 2: wardrobe is this jam packed full of like breweries, Badgers,
- 41:27Speaker 2: and and Bucks and and packers gear. But I don't know,
- 41:32Speaker 2: this might sound kind of bad, but rarely do I
- 41:35Speaker 2: wear I mean, I don't know. I don't think it's
- 41:38Speaker 2: on purpose, but just there's days where I don't wear
- 41:40Speaker 2: packers stuff on game day. I don't know.
- 41:42Speaker 1: Cheese head, Please tell me you have a cheese head.
- 41:44Speaker 2: I do. I had. I had a cheese having on
- 41:46Speaker 2: I was like ten years old. It's downstairs all right now.
- 41:50Speaker 1: I don't know if you like that political, but when
- 41:52Speaker 1: Elon rocked the cheese and I was so blown away.
- 41:56Speaker 2: But that is. Yeah, it's crazy, but that was.
- 42:01Speaker 1: That was quite a thing there. But you know, I
- 42:05Speaker 1: got to make it sure about to Limbo. I know
- 42:06Speaker 1: you were at the draft. You know, a side note
- 42:09Speaker 1: for people just training in. I wanted Brian on during
- 42:11Speaker 1: the draft leak, but our scheduled not a line because
- 42:13Speaker 1: you were literally there. I think you said you visited
- 42:15Speaker 1: one of those days, right, maybe the last day.
- 42:18Speaker 2: I was there days two and three.
- 42:21Speaker 1: And what was the energy?
- 42:23Speaker 2: Like, I mean, it was crazy, it was amazing.
- 42:26Speaker 1: It was day one is always busy. But the drama
- 42:29Speaker 1: there was Shador. We didn't know where he was going
- 42:31Speaker 1: at that point.
- 42:32Speaker 2: Yeah, so I actually I remember where it was when
- 42:36Speaker 2: the Browns drafted Shador Sanders. No, it was pretty cool.
- 42:40Speaker 2: So I actually did meet up with mister first down
- 42:44Speaker 2: there at at at Lambo. You know Tennessee Titans super fan,
- 42:49Speaker 2: big Foam hat, you know, the red Beard. I met
- 42:53Speaker 2: up with Ioway Joe Joe Pearson from Old O'ahanna Packers Network,
- 42:58Speaker 2: the the group organization that I do podcast under Ohanna
- 43:03Speaker 2: Packers or Ope Network. I met up, actually I met up.
- 43:07Speaker 2: I found I came across the people that I work
- 43:10Speaker 2: with and that I knew that. I had no idea
- 43:11Speaker 2: that they're even there. You know, you figure with in
- 43:14Speaker 2: the midst of thousands of people there, to come across
- 43:19Speaker 2: people that you actually know, it's kind of crazy, But
- 43:22Speaker 2: the energy there was cool. All the fans from all
- 43:24Speaker 2: the different all the different teams are awesome. They're super nice.
- 43:27Speaker 2: And you know that's why, you know, I look outside
- 43:29Speaker 2: just Packer fans. It's because they're nice fans all over
- 43:32Speaker 2: the place, you know, you know, I have I have good,
- 43:35Speaker 2: good people that I talk to that are Bears fans
- 43:37Speaker 2: that are that are you know, Vikings fans. There are
- 43:39Speaker 2: a Lions fans that are you know, Titans fans that
- 43:42Speaker 2: are you know, I mean everyone everyone is just. But
- 43:46Speaker 2: one thing I can say that haven't come across the
- 43:49Speaker 2: really nice Eagles fan.
- 43:51Speaker 1: Wow, that's that's true. But you know, I gotta say
- 43:58Speaker 1: listening to Drake May is a threat to the NFL.
- 44:02Speaker 1: I mean, the win against the Bills last week and
- 44:04Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about that. The winning into the Bills
- 44:07Speaker 1: last week puts that team on the map. And I
- 44:09Speaker 1: don't know, do you guys, do you guys face him
- 44:11Speaker 1: this year.
- 44:13Speaker 2: The Patriots? I don't think so.
- 44:14Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys do, but whoever does,
- 44:17Speaker 1: they're a threat. I mean you probably watched this from
- 44:19Speaker 1: a league wide perspective as well.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, for the most part, to be honest, a
- 44:26Speaker 2: couple of Packer games I haven't I haven't watched because
- 44:29Speaker 2: I've been other commitments. Uh, just some personal things going
- 44:34Speaker 2: on with like my with my mother in law, and
- 44:37Speaker 2: I'm just busy with like kids, sporting events or just
- 44:41Speaker 2: I just I think two of the games I've listened
- 44:45Speaker 2: to on the radios, so I try to keep up
- 44:48Speaker 2: with what's going on, but obviously they keep up more
- 44:50Speaker 2: with the Packers than anything. So it was kind of
- 44:53Speaker 2: nice to have this year's old.
- 44:55Speaker 1: When I realized Kevin Harlan is the son of the
- 44:58Speaker 1: man who basically is the president or was it of
- 45:00Speaker 1: the Packers, I did.
- 45:02Speaker 2: Not know that, And he's the father in law of
- 45:05Speaker 2: Wisconsin Badger legend Sam Decker. Wow.
- 45:09Speaker 1: Sam Decker, of course, and of course I got to
- 45:12Speaker 1: talk with Kevin. Nicest guy, by the way, one of
- 45:15Speaker 1: the nicest announcements you can meet. So it's cool. All right.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, because there are some crowds
- 45:20Speaker 1: that are so intense, do you feel that Packer fans
- 45:24Speaker 1: have sort of with this Midwestern we personality, where like,
- 45:28Speaker 1: you're not gonna beat up some guy for wearing an
- 45:30Speaker 1: opposite jersey. That's not gonna happen a lambo, right, I.
- 45:33Speaker 2: Don't think so. I mean, you know you got you
- 45:36Speaker 2: just gotta. The way I look at it, I always
- 45:40Speaker 2: try to throwing myself with you know, good people, and
- 45:46Speaker 2: just try to I've always got my head in a swibble.
- 45:50Speaker 2: I think you got more of the bigger, the bigger
- 45:53Speaker 2: city teams. I mean, you always got Dodger fans and
- 45:56Speaker 2: whoever else beating the hell out of each other in
- 45:58Speaker 2: the parking lot, and you got you know, you got
- 46:01Speaker 2: the videos of the nasty ass excuse me whatever it
- 46:04Speaker 2: was the Philadelphia Eagle fans and last year it's just
- 46:08Speaker 2: I ain't got time for that kind of crap man.
- 46:09Speaker 2: Were life's too short to be that bunch of a prick.
- 46:13Speaker 2: When I made that what I made that, When I
- 46:15Speaker 2: made that post last year when the Packers were against
- 46:19Speaker 2: the Eagles in Brazil, and I to this day, I'll
- 46:22Speaker 2: die in this hill that high low hit on Jordan Love.
- 46:25Speaker 2: That was dirty and that was on purpose. You can't
- 46:29Speaker 2: tell me those people that were involved with that. Jalen
- 46:31Speaker 2: Carter did not know what he was doing out there.
- 46:34Speaker 2: He knew, he knew, you know, And I had Eagle
- 46:38Speaker 2: fans coming after me in my inbox common say.
- 46:43Speaker 1: Full transparency. I cannot stand seeing the Chiefs win again.
- 46:47Speaker 1: So I was a little bit a feeling there. But
- 46:50Speaker 1: to see Philadelphia fall apart now is so fun to watch.
- 46:53Speaker 1: We don't know if A. J. Brown wants to be
- 46:55Speaker 1: there anymore. Like, this is an incredible implosion for a
- 46:58Speaker 1: team that just on the Super Bowl a year ago.
- 47:01Speaker 2: Brian, Hey, hey, aj you look good in green and gold, buddy.
- 47:06Speaker 2: You know, yeah, no, I.
- 47:07Speaker 1: Mean he wouldn't. Boy, what a threat that would be
- 47:10Speaker 1: for for a love to have out there.
- 47:12Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you know, think about this though. Okay,
- 47:15Speaker 2: so a week against the week two against who we
- 47:18Speaker 2: played Week two when uh Jeorde Reid Brokeer's collarbone right,
- 47:26Speaker 2: so he was dealing with that that Jones fracture in
- 47:30Speaker 2: his foot. So when he had his surgery on his collarbone,
- 47:34Speaker 2: they did the surgery on his foot too, so he
- 47:36Speaker 2: could heal from both at the same time. That was smart.
- 47:39Speaker 2: And now we got Christian Watson off the pup list
- 47:42Speaker 2: and he's practicing with the team again this week. So
- 47:45Speaker 2: you got Christian Watson coming back and hopefully he'll be
- 47:47Speaker 2: you know, a threat here pretty soon. And then you'll
- 47:50Speaker 2: have Jordan Reed coming back or Jayden Reed coming back.
- 47:53Speaker 2: You know, then you're gonna have Dobbs, You're gonna have Reed,
- 47:55Speaker 2: You're gonna have Watch, and you're gonna have Gold. And
- 47:57Speaker 2: that's a pretty pretty impressive receivers you're going to have there.
- 48:02Speaker 2: And I think that, you know, everything's happening at the
- 48:05Speaker 2: right time for the Packers as far as like the
- 48:07Speaker 2: bye week and as far as the uh the injuries
- 48:11Speaker 2: and being able to you know, recover from the injuries
- 48:14Speaker 2: to make the the final stretch run into the playoffs.
- 48:18Speaker 2: So that's definitely exciting for the Packers.
- 48:23Speaker 1: You know that, you know that depth chart and I'm
- 48:25Speaker 1: nouns about to learn my giant depth chart even more now,
- 48:28Speaker 1: so because you you know, this team from top to
- 48:31Speaker 1: bottom of feels.
- 48:32Speaker 2: Like Brian, Yeah, it's just it's just crazy, you know.
- 48:36Speaker 2: You know, like like I was saying, I think all
- 48:37Speaker 2: the I mean, you hate to see injuries and you know,
- 48:41Speaker 2: you hate to see early bye weeks, but I think
- 48:44Speaker 2: the injuries that we got with our players coinciding with
- 48:47Speaker 2: the bye week, I think was a good thing. I
- 48:49Speaker 2: think it was meant to happen. You know, Jordan Reed
- 48:51Speaker 2: was meant to have, you know, not meant to happen
- 48:53Speaker 2: to get injured, but the time of him getting injured
- 48:57Speaker 2: and and the recovery time to get back, the buye
- 48:59Speaker 2: week helps. I think with these next four games, the
- 49:01Speaker 2: Packers can go for and O and then they'll be
- 49:04Speaker 2: sitting at six one and one and they'll be in
- 49:06Speaker 2: a good spot. You know. So I just think, you know,
- 49:10Speaker 2: you gotta have patience. You know, everybody wants to be
- 49:12Speaker 2: like an arm like an armchair GM and you know,
- 49:15Speaker 2: play play and want their team to make moves like
- 49:18Speaker 2: you played in Madden you know, two K twenty five
- 49:21Speaker 2: with the shelary cap off, with the shellary cap off,
- 49:24Speaker 2: you can't do that. It's a business, you know what
- 49:25Speaker 2: I'm saying. It's people are people just don't get it.
- 49:29Speaker 2: You know, if you know, if you don't, you can't
- 49:33Speaker 2: tell me. The Packers didn't think about the financial aspect
- 49:36Speaker 2: of bringing to Micah Parsons and what they do to
- 49:38Speaker 2: the rest of the team's financial They're not gonna bring
- 49:41Speaker 2: someone that's is gonna freaking blow up the salary cap
- 49:44Speaker 2: and you can't make it. I mean they did. They
- 49:46Speaker 2: did it. I mean they knew what they were doing.
- 49:48Speaker 2: They got AT policy carbon policy signed from the Niners.
- 49:51Speaker 2: I mean I set from day one when he when
- 49:54Speaker 2: when Mark Murphy steps down as president of the of
- 49:57Speaker 2: the Packers, at policy is going to make a splash,
- 50:00Speaker 2: and he did. You know. I was sitting the Lambeo
- 50:03Speaker 2: Field parking lot the Friday before the Packers last preseason
- 50:08Speaker 2: game and they're attesting the fireworks around the top of
- 50:10Speaker 2: the stadium for the for the game the next day,
- 50:12Speaker 2: right and I met up with I with Joe Joe
- 50:16Speaker 2: Pearson from Mohona Packers, and I go, yeah, they're just
- 50:19Speaker 2: getting ready to make the announcement that they're getting Michael Parsons.
- 50:22Speaker 2: I was joking, there's no real traction in the reports
- 50:26Speaker 2: of him coming to the Packers yet. And the next.
- 50:29Speaker 1: Week up, the whole week I believe on your ex account.
- 50:32Speaker 1: So I mean, drowning it up. You were well, now
- 50:34Speaker 1: the word is manifesting it. That's what I like to say.
- 50:37Speaker 2: Yeah, how cool is it? Though?
- 50:39Speaker 1: When you go on your pod and you talk about
- 50:41Speaker 1: something and it happens and you're like, see, I told like,
- 50:45Speaker 1: there's nothing about that.
- 50:46Speaker 2: I have to say, Hey, I mean this last week
- 50:50Speaker 2: I put a screenshot of my posts from from uh
- 50:54Speaker 2: Romeo Dobbs his rookie year. He reminds me of a
- 50:58Speaker 2: mixture of DeVante Adams and Jordy Nelson proved me wrong.
- 51:03Speaker 2: I mean who you can see a flashes of both
- 51:05Speaker 2: of them and and uh Me or Dobbs, And I
- 51:09Speaker 2: said that like my first few games that watched him,
- 51:12Speaker 2: that's what he reminded me of. And he's right now,
- 51:16Speaker 2: he's Packers. Why do you see every number one? And
- 51:18Speaker 2: they're working behind the scenes and getting an extension for him.
- 51:22Speaker 1: So this I mean, and I'm going there because you
- 51:26Speaker 1: mentioned Jordy Nelson, I automatically flashback to the Giants.
- 51:29Speaker 2: In O A.
- 51:31Speaker 1: Lambeau Field freezing cold. I still know how they want
- 51:34Speaker 1: it with no sleeves on. That was unbelievable. But what
- 51:37Speaker 1: were your thoughts during that incredible game where Laurence Stein
- 51:41Speaker 1: wins on the kick. Of course the interception, but that
- 51:43Speaker 1: game was gritty. It was one of the best NFL
- 51:45Speaker 1: games I've seen. In a while. I know the Packers
- 51:47Speaker 1: well short but when you met Jordy Nelson, I alomatically
- 51:50Speaker 1: go back to that game specifically because, uh, you know
- 51:54Speaker 1: it was it was hotly contested and it was freezing cold.
- 51:57Speaker 1: And where were you during that game?
- 51:59Speaker 2: It's funny you ask I, uh, my wife, that's two
- 52:03Speaker 2: thousand and eight. Were we married yet? I don't know
- 52:05Speaker 2: if we were married or not. But she was really
- 52:07Speaker 2: sick and in the hospital. So I was at Stowton Hospital.
- 52:09Speaker 2: If they're watching the game, well I was watching the game,
- 52:13Speaker 2: but I remember that, you know. It's just is this
- 52:15Speaker 2: one of those things where it's you can't control the
- 52:18Speaker 2: outcome and you can only root for your team and
- 52:20Speaker 2: if you lose, they lose. You know. But you know,
- 52:24Speaker 2: when it's cold in Wisconsin, it's cold. It's probably in
- 52:27Speaker 2: New York. It's cold to be held in New York
- 52:29Speaker 2: in the wintertime too, you know.
- 52:31Speaker 1: But you guys known as the frozen tundra, is that
- 52:33Speaker 1: still a thing? I mean, I don't know. I don't
- 52:36Speaker 1: see a lot of as much snow as I used to.
- 52:38Speaker 1: Maybe they're still there though during the winter, but.
- 52:40Speaker 2: The field is heated. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, so, I mean,
- 52:44Speaker 2: it ain't like I ain't like the Ice Bowl how
- 52:47Speaker 2: that was. You know, how do.
- 52:50Speaker 1: We revitalize because the Backers are almost there. I think
- 52:53Speaker 1: they're going to get back to that, you know, that
- 52:57Speaker 1: epic franchise where they're winning almost every year there. But
- 53:02Speaker 1: how do we get other franchises I'm talking well, mainly
- 53:05Speaker 1: the Raiders because they're the one franchise that needs to
- 53:07Speaker 1: be revitalized. How do we get these teams going back
- 53:09Speaker 1: up again? They're prestigious in the NFL, and they're not
- 53:13Speaker 1: acting prestige right now.
- 53:17Speaker 2: I don't know if you can, to be honest, I mean,
- 53:19Speaker 2: you got you have certain teams to have certain DNA,
- 53:22Speaker 2: certain certain pedigrees, certain you know, people in the office
- 53:26Speaker 2: that move around. I mean you look at the Packers.
- 53:29Speaker 2: I mean you know they had, uh John Dorsey go
- 53:34Speaker 2: to the Seahawks. You had you know, you had the
- 53:40Speaker 2: hell's the name? But you have people from the front
- 53:44Speaker 2: office and the Packers. You had Reggie McKenzie, you had him,
- 53:46Speaker 2: he went to the Raiders when they're in Oakland. You
- 53:48Speaker 2: had you know. I mean, it's just I don't know.
- 53:55Speaker 2: I mean the Packers you look back to like Charles
- 53:57Speaker 2: Woodson when he came to Green Bay, you like, there's
- 54:01Speaker 2: nothing to do. You call, you get done with practice,
- 54:03Speaker 2: You go home. I go home and I read a book.
- 54:05Speaker 2: You got. Micah Parsons when he got to Green Bay.
- 54:07Speaker 2: He's talking to people and they say, yeah, there ain't
- 54:09Speaker 2: anything to do. So, you know, he goes. Micah Parsons said,
- 54:14Speaker 2: maybe that's what I needed in my life. You know
- 54:18Speaker 2: so I think when you got bigger cities, there's there's
- 54:21Speaker 2: more to do in bigger cities that doesn't involve crafting
- 54:27Speaker 2: your game and just not going out and and potentially
- 54:33Speaker 2: getting in trouble. You know what I mean. The closest
- 54:35Speaker 2: big city to Green Bay is Milwaukee or Chicago. You
- 54:38Speaker 2: know what I mean to say.
- 54:40Speaker 1: I feel like one of the chances to get to
- 54:42Speaker 1: Green Bay is how do we get there from Milwaukee.
- 54:44Speaker 1: It's probably another era of line by flight, right, I'm guessing.
- 54:47Speaker 2: Milwaukee to Green Bay. Oh, it's like an hour and
- 54:49Speaker 2: a half away.
- 54:51Speaker 1: Well that's not that it's.
- 54:52Speaker 2: Like two hour drive, but it's not. It's like three
- 54:54Speaker 2: hours of Chicago, not even two a half hours of
- 54:56Speaker 2: Chicago from Green Bay. And there's just one highway. You
- 55:00Speaker 2: just you just go in the Green Bay, in the
- 55:02Speaker 2: Bellevue a little bit, you hop on hop on the
- 55:05Speaker 2: interstate and you have you take one year road down
- 55:07Speaker 2: to Illinois and then you're in the land of all
- 55:10Speaker 2: the crazies. You know. It's wow.
- 55:16Speaker 1: No, that's that's interesting. I'm just trying to think of because, like,
- 55:19Speaker 1: I know what the big blue means to me. I
- 55:21Speaker 1: feel like there's a there's a sort of pride wearing that.
- 55:25Speaker 1: Do you feel the same with when you wear your green,
- 55:27Speaker 1: you know, green and gold?
- 55:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you got you look at all the
- 55:34Speaker 2: history that came out of Green Bay, you know, you
- 55:36Speaker 2: look at you know, it's not technically owned by one person.
- 55:41Speaker 2: It's it's it's a city owned, town owned, stock owned,
- 55:46Speaker 2: you know, whatever you want to call it. It's you know,
- 55:52Speaker 2: you think of football, you think of Lombardo, you think
- 55:54Speaker 2: of Lambeau, you think of Green Bay, you think of
- 55:57Speaker 2: you know, Bart Stars And he's not talked about it enough.
- 56:00Speaker 2: He's being one of the golds of the NFL five championships.
- 56:05Speaker 2: He had he had you know, a three pet you know,
- 56:08Speaker 2: people don't bring that up.
- 56:09Speaker 1: He also and I know Stallback did too, but Bart Star,
- 56:14Speaker 1: I guess wrote the book on the psis of quarterback, right,
- 56:17Speaker 1: that's kind of how Yeah, and the famous also he
- 56:20Speaker 1: wrote the book on it.
- 56:22Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean it's just, you know, you think of
- 56:25Speaker 2: the Reggie Whites and the Farvs and the Aaron Rodgers
- 56:28Speaker 2: and the Charlie I mean, you just I'm just naming
- 56:30Speaker 2: off more like modern guys like in my in my lifetime,
- 56:33Speaker 2: you know, in Nick Collins, Claiman, I mean claim athletes,
- 56:35Speaker 2: b J Roger, everyone that you know, Markward.
- 56:39Speaker 1: I mean, some of these guys just legend, you know.
- 56:42Speaker 2: Then for me, like when I was younger, you know,
- 56:47Speaker 2: being a huge Badger fan, but also I recognized game
- 56:51Speaker 2: and when I watched Charles Woodson at Michigan play, I
- 56:56Speaker 2: just that that's him. That's him I have. I've loved
- 56:59Speaker 2: him since his Michigan days. I have a Raiders Woods
- 57:03Speaker 2: in Jersey and I'll ad made it because I got
- 57:06Speaker 2: that jersey back when they played the Buccaneers in the
- 57:09Speaker 2: Super Bowl in twenty two thousand and two or twenty
- 57:13Speaker 2: two thousand and three, whatever it was, you know, I
- 57:15Speaker 2: have I have a Michigan replica helmet signed by Woods,
- 57:18Speaker 2: and I got a Packers helmet sign by Woods and
- 57:20Speaker 2: I got six bottles of his Intercept wine signed by him.
- 57:23Speaker 2: That actually my wife and kids surprised me with he
- 57:27Speaker 2: had when he first started his wine label he had.
- 57:32Speaker 1: And I think he's a planalyst now too, I believe
- 57:34Speaker 1: so he's on some he's on one of the networks too.
- 57:37Speaker 2: So yeah, when he had his wine, he was introducing
- 57:39Speaker 2: it the like a cane story. Here in Wisconsin's called
- 57:42Speaker 2: festival foods, and I was I was bummed because I
- 57:45Speaker 2: was getting stitches ticked out of my back and I
- 57:48Speaker 2: wanted to go meet, meet, meet and greet with him,
- 57:51Speaker 2: and how I can't make it there. I've been doing
- 57:53Speaker 2: this and I'm sitting there on the table getting the
- 57:56Speaker 2: tutus taken out. What my wife sends me a picture.
- 57:58Speaker 2: It's the picture of her and our have kids standing
- 58:02Speaker 2: with Charles Woodson. I'm like, no freaking way, man. My
- 58:07Speaker 2: kids and my wife just got to meet my idol
- 58:10Speaker 2: and they've got me six bottles of wine signed by
- 58:12Speaker 2: Charles Woodson. How cool is that? You know?
- 58:15Speaker 1: I've got watching Eli signed. We had a press past
- 58:18Speaker 1: some fanatics, pest and my fian here is like, let's
- 58:21Speaker 1: see how close we can get. We got a picture
- 58:23Speaker 1: of Eli signing a helmet right there in front of her,
- 58:27Speaker 1: like this is cool. Okay, this is cool.
- 58:30Speaker 2: Yeah, it's.
- 58:33Speaker 1: The Rangers routed the Penguins, so we're now watching the
- 58:37Speaker 1: Brewers and the Cubs. You know, these innings start to
- 58:42Speaker 1: get big for for the Cubs. On the man, you
- 58:44Speaker 1: got to get these outs here so we'll see what happen.
- 58:50Speaker 2: H No, it's just it's just cool. Like you know,
- 58:55Speaker 2: I've been through these last few years of or whatever,
- 58:58Speaker 2: I've been through a lot of downs. Sorry, my screen's
- 59:02Speaker 2: going dim on me. And uh, I just when I'm
- 59:06Speaker 2: having a bad day, I'll just, you know, go for
- 59:09Speaker 2: a little stroll and I'll go into the Pro Shop
- 59:11Speaker 2: at lambeau Field, or I'll just go walk around the atrium.
- 59:14Speaker 2: I'll go outside by the Lombardi or the Curley Lambo statues,
- 59:20Speaker 2: or I'll go you I'll just go to Lambo. Just
- 59:23Speaker 2: just the just the tree my mind and and and
- 59:25Speaker 2: you know, just try to gather myself and and just.
- 59:29Speaker 1: Now are you saying it's public opening the public for
- 59:31Speaker 1: tours and all that or how.
- 59:32Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's I'm pretty sure it's opened three hundred
- 59:35Speaker 2: and sixty four days out of the year. Wow, they
- 59:39Speaker 2: have they have like a Hall of Fame tour.
- 59:42Speaker 1: They that's my next question, can you do the Lambeau Leap?
- 59:46Speaker 2: So they have they have a replica statue of like
- 59:51Speaker 2: a padded wall with with I have a picture of
- 59:56Speaker 2: it out to send it to you of and they
- 59:58Speaker 2: have like like fans of like like they're like fans
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: in the stands and you can like jump up on
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: the pad like you're doing a Lambell leap, like it's
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: outside the stadium. But yeah, they have like a replic
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: club at Lambele. But I just think I think the
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: package history and and everything is one of the best histories,
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: best best traditions and best whatever you want to call
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: it in all the sports.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the biggest games I'll never forget
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: is Aaron Rodgers on one leg talk about one leg
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: up beating the Bears, because remember the Bears that came
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: a little bit too. I'll never forget he got injured,
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: comes back and beats the Bears on the one It
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: was amazing to me that he could do that.
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: He comes back higher than a kite. Yeah, that's awesome.
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: Did the psychedelics thing bother you though? Like was that, like,
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: oh my god, that's really out there.
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: With Aaron Rodgers when he came back.
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: No, no, I mean generally went to the psychedelics conflict
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: conferences like all whole bunch of of the veils of
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: that were crazy to me.
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: But at least he's out out there getting fifteen girls
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: pregnant at the same time.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: You know, Oh, that's a fair point. That's a fair point.
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: Let him live his life like last. He ain't out there.
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: You know, we're ending people at one hundred and eighty
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: five millions an hour in Las Vegas. You know what
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: I'm saying. He I mean, if he's doing something that's illegal, yeah,
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: go after him. But he to this day he hasn't
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: been in trouble for it. You have players, I mean,
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: look at.
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: Well, I look at Greek Hill, lights lights of fire
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: on you like he does me because here's a stupid,
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: stupid but he gets he literally there's proof. Yet the
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: Chiefs say, come on in and they win a rig
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: with the guy. Now would uh would Lamar Hunt? Would
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: Lamar Hunt want that the guy who found the Chiefs?
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: And basically the no, he wouldn't want that on his team.
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: What are we doing Chiefs and just it bothered him
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: and now I guess he's done for his career. That's
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: what people are saying.
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you go back, you look at so like,
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: what's the difference between what ray Rice did and what
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: uh uh the running back for the Chiefs, the one
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: that hit that girl in the hallway? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: oh my god, uh Hunt?
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's Kareem Hunt, isn't it.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: Yeah, So ray Rice gets blacklisted, But well, how come career?
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: How come he can come back? You know what I'm saying.
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: And then it's.
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: Funny, right, So they actually let him in a few
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: weeks later. It wasn't even like a long black It
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: was very odd to me.
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: I don't know, it's just the way there should be one.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: I mean, domestic abuse is runs high, and these a
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: lot of these professional athletes, and I think, I mean,
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: you know, I mean this, so like if we did
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: something stupid like that, or if we if we were
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: at our job and we legit knock somebody out, punch
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: somebody or whatever, we get taken out in handcuffs. When
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: is a day gonna come to wear a professional athlete
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: if they get in a fight on the field, on
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: the court, on the diamond. Will they get taken out
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: of that game in handcuffs?
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: What wonder Franco. He's really not facing anything now and
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: this guy dated money. It's yeah, it's it's ridiculous.
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: It's crazy, it's so it's so stupid. And it's like
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: you have owners that would rather have some screw off
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: on their team for the chance to potentially win a
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: championship versus doing them the moral thing, you know what
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: I'm saying, they'd rather have that that stained image of
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: you know.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: That's why I say I'm numb to it. I feel
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: like I'm numb to that type of thing. It's just
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: like it's going to happen and it shouldn't, but it's
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: going to. But I remember specifically going on that rand
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: about Tyreek Hill because uh or Green Tilt, it was
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: one of them, And I'm like, the Chiefs allowed the
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: guy back on the team. I was Hunt, would would
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: Lamar Hunt allow that? He would not? I don't think
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: he'd allowed that behavior.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: No, And you know, I'm trying to think of like
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: I'm sure there's been off the field incidences with with
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: the Packers, but nothing that's really I mean, Aman green
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: maybe a little bit Eric Walden. That's going way back.
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: But recently, I guess who was it that got caught
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: for the Packers.
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: Controversy is when Aaron Rodgers and Olivia Mum broke up. Okay,
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: that's the biggest controversies I can remember in the Packers
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: off offield.
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: No, remember when it wasn't It wasn't Johnny Jolly. It
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: was that lineman they got from the Vikings that got
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: caught with all the drugs and money and guns.
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: I'm drawing a blank on that one. But he mentioned
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: Reggie White, and I remember he was so mourned when
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: he passed away. What was the impact that he left
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: because he mentioned him at while ago, But I remember
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: expelcically when he passed away, the whole NFL community mourned
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: the guy that was. How big of a legend he was?
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: Yeah, he was huge. I mean, I mean the impact
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: he had on the game, the impact he had in
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: Green Bay. I mean you think of I mean, you
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: go back to, you know, the Michael Parsons thing, and
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: he's had four seasons of twelve or more sacks in
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: a row. The last person to do that as Reggie White.
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: And then you got Cowboys fans saying, oh, you know,
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: Parsons didn't do anything. He sucks and he has he
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: has a stat treat that the only other person that's
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: done that, the last person to do that was Reggie White.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: It's just.
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: He was just huge. I mean he just commanded, commanded,
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: you know, attention, He drew attention and he and even
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: I think back to this year and last year in
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: my youth football. I remember showing my kids the video
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: of him bull rushing. Was it Larry Allen in this
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: one arm just just just just airlifting them. He did that.
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, that's how good he was.
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: You know, have you ever taken your kids to Lambo
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: is like a group trip or not yet or what? So?
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: I mean your football team and I know something.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: No, but so the organization the the Peer Youth Football
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: last year on the Packers gave him some tickets to
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: preseason games. So I brought brought all I brought four
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: of my kids and two of my kids friends to
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: the game against the Ravens last year. But not like
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: we haven't taken our team there. I've taken my kids
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: there several times. My second day of going there for
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: the draft, I brought my two boys with me to
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: the draft, so that was pretty cool. I actually had
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: my my rehearsal, My rehearsal dinner, uh writing party was
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: at lambeau Field, so that's pretty cool. We and we
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: all did the stadium tour. It's kind of cool. It
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: was that night. Then we did the stadium tour and
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: they bring us out of the tunnel. The packers walk
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: out of like they come on, come on in the field,
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: and those dark are right and someone the fire alarms
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: went off and all the strobe lights in the press
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: boxes were going off, so it was like a big
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: continuous like it's like this flash and you know the led. Well,
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: that's pretty cool. But I had a replica cheesehead as
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: a as a groom's cake, so it's pretty cool. Man,
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: Lambo's Lambo's definitely in there with you know, one of
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: the cool things to do with my families go there
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: because it takes.
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: Away from all the news that's going in the world,
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: like baseball. Well, sports is just a great escape. I've
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: always thought of it that way, and it brings people together.
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: Look we're talking, we're on different ends of the spectrum.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: Your your packers, I'm giants. But we love sports. That's
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: what brings us all together. That's what brings us chat together,
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: by the way.
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: So yeah, and even like, uh, for me, coaching, and
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: what got me into coaching was when I got when
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: I got hurt at work and the situations that better
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: and just just to get me out of the house,
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: just to get me doing something. I love teaching kids
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: the games that I love, basketball and football, you know,
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: and just well.
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: Because you want to adapt to a bat I mean,
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: I mean, say, you're gonna adapt to a back injury
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: and stuff like that if I'm not mistaken.
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: Right, shoulder, yeah, shoulder, neck yeah. Back. I mean, it's
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: just so, it's just it's just it's just it's been
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: a chance for me to get out of the house
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: and and you know, just help kids, you know, Manhattan
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: and teach them the game, you know, teach them, help
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: try to help them get better.
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: So big moment right now, first and second, nobody out
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: three to one, Kyle Tucker up. I know Meredith is
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: watching that she's loving this right now. We have to
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: see what happens. And Suzuki talk about a guy that
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: did not have a year he's had, say a Suzuki
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: has been unbelievable. But we'll have to see what happens
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: strike out there. Well not yet three and two, but
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: we'll have to see. You know, the other thing about
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: what I love is you talk about shoes. You're a
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: big shoe guy, aren't you.
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: I am got him.
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: Speaker designs you got is so cool?
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, I I had a so growing up,
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: I had a really good friend of mine that wasn't
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: was like a manager at Champ Sports in the mall
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: in Madison, So I get I get paid and back
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: then I was single of you know, didn't have any
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: concept of you know, reality or so I'd go there
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: and try to find the latest the latest kicks to
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: come out, with the latest styles that come out. And
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: then I got you know, married and had kids whatever,
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: and kind of kind of eased off on a little bit,
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: and uh for a while there there's some cool designs
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: coming out and you know Jordan's and some throwback shoes
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: that uh of like my favorite player growing up with
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: Sean Kemp. So he had like the comic the comic
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: Kazi shoes and so they have like different cool colored
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: waves of the comic Kazie shoes, and just believe it
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: or not, the amount of shoes that I've found thrifteing,
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: it's just astronomical, and even for the kids. It's just crazy,
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: just the cool shoes that I've found for the kids,
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: for my wife and myself for like three or four
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: or five dollars.
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: I mean, as always said, you created an Instagram or
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: a Twitter for the shoes you collect alone. You get
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: a lot of tracks in there on.
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at Murphy. Uh.
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: Of course we only have one shoe in this house
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: because I only the one. But I still liked to
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: look a little stylist and all that. But no, you
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: gotta gotta create the true thing. I'm just thinking about
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: Murphy here, Paul Mallader, Okay, legend legend? Uh what were you?
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: Did you watch him growing up? I guess you had
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: to watch him growing up, right, Yeah?
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: And so when they were on growing up, I wasn't
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: really in the market like for television because it wasn't
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: as well spread like we had the Farmers for growing up.
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: So it was just like the local ABC, NBCCBS, the Fox.
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: So when we had the chance of watching, we did.
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: But sports nowadays are everywhere and you can access stuff
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: pretty much everywhere. So you know, he was great for
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: the Brewer. I mean, from what I've seen, he was
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: great for the Brewers. And and you know it's I
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: always remember like robbing Young, like diving, diving, and you know.
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: I remember Young used to coach first base for the
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: Brewers too at one point, and he was still very
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: involved with the Brewers after he That's why Malla were
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: going to twins are so surprising. I'm like, you're a
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: brewery and I don't know, I always thought he could
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: have stayed longer as manager.
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: But yeah, like I said, Ernest, you know, everyone's got
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: I don't care if you're a packer, fair or not.
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: You come to Green Bay, you got you gotta go
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: to Lambellfield. You gotta go to the stadium tour, you
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: gotta go to the Hall of Fame, you gotta go
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: to the pro Shop because there's so much history, not
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: just on the Packers, but of all other teams too.
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: It's it's you know, it's it's just it's just you know, nowmous.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: With the bratworst as well or something like that. I mean,
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: you you guys make some mean food on Sundays as.
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: Well, rots and and cheese and and uh, cheese curds
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: for sure.
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: I know we're both wanting to make the trip to
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: Lambell now for that. So yeah, we'll let you know
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: we make the trip up there. It sounds more easy
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: to get to than I first thought when we first talked,
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: you know, under the conversation. So now I'm thinking about it.
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: So it's not like, what like a fourteen fifteen hour trip.
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: That's not I think, and by plane would be faster,
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: so that's kind of cool.
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can fly right into Green Bay too,
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: so it's or you can fly to Appleton whatever. Appleton's
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: half an hour twenty five minutes south of Green Bay.
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: So I mean, you know, it's you don't have to
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: be a fan of the Packers that coming take a
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: stadium tour. It's you're going to respect the history regardless.
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: You know, you can hate the team as much as
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: you want to, but you can't hate the history of
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: the NFL.
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: And literally it's the birthplace of the Lombardi Trophy because
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: that's who won it. That's the first team that won
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: the trophy. Now, I don't know how to change over
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: the years, I guess so, but the name doesn't change,
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: and they want to change the name too, to Brady,
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: which don't. When we start on that one, Brian, I
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: don't understand that it's Lombardi through and through.
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: Yeah, it won't. It won't. Won't.
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: You know? We have a Vince Lombardi rest stop in
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: New Jersey? Did you know that?
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: No? I didn't. Yeah.
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: Going to Joe Piscoba, who wants his own rest stop,
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: which I work with, he mentioned the Vince Lombardi rest
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: stop a lot. I'm like, oh, that's pretty cool that
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: he gets recognitioned in Jersey like that.
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: Yeah. So no, yeah, Curly Lamble, he's buried in Green
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: Red and all that. But the Packers had a three
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: story They had a three story Lombardi trophy in their
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: hrum inside Lambelefield.
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: And then a picture of that from actually during the
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: training day, which also looked like an event. Everything in
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: Green Bay looks like an event, right, So you got
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: the game itself, but then spring trade and spring training
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: training camp because all these guys with their bikes and
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out what the bikes are for.
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: I don't really understand it.
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: But so they have a tradition that goes back years
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: to where kids come with their bikes and they meet
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: the players at the stadium and the players ride their
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: bike from the stadium to the practice field along with
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: the next to them. So it's like a yearly tradition
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: that they do.
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: That sounds so cool. I think you're a little ahead
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: of me because I'm trying to catch up here. Let's
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: see the way. Oh well, if they don't get out,
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: if they get out of it, I think the Brewers
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: these innings define a lot in these games, you know when,
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: especially the playoffs. So they get out of this, that's
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: a good hope for them. Now, whoever plays the next
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: series has to go through the Dodgers.
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: And but the Brewers spanked at Dodgers this year.
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: And I'm wondering because the olimate goal is to get
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: the Dodgers out of this this playoffs. I'm still sicken
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: by last year's World Series. I'm sure you saw it,
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: and I wish, I wish things were different, especially in
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: Game five. But the Dodgers always seem like this unstoppable
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: force in the postseason. Maybe you guys can stop them,
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: or maybe the Cubs getting I don't know, but what
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: what could The Brewers are differently if they win tonight
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: to get to get the dodge, what do they got?
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: What do they have to do?
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: Well, Well, the thing's gonna help them is get their
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: get their starters, some rest as far as like their pitchers,
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: you know, get their pictures, because I mean, you start,
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: you started, You start game five of a five game
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: series with your reliever. I mean, come on, you know,
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: And I think, honestly, I think too for the Brewers
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: if they can, if they can win this game tonight,
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: they'd have home field advantage, and that's huge, you know,
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: so I think, you know, get win, get home field advantage,
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: get your pictures, some rest, and and get you know,
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: just get the rest and and take advantage of the
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: home of the home games.
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: You know, no, absolutely, you know you guys have also
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: overcome losing Corbin and then Hater. Was that an adjustment
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: that you felt the gonna make because those two were
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: dominant in Brewer uniforms.
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can't forget you know, Devin Williams.
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: And Devon. But I think the Lions are really screwed up,
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: screwed up a little bit with that home run because
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: he finally got back into shape. But you wouldn't know
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: him more from the regular season than we would because
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: we only followed him here in New York in the
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: postseason with that homer. But what what was Devin like
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: when he pitched out there?
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: He was for a while, he was good. But this
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: last year he like last year, like his you know,
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: it was more of a relief to have him not
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: in the game. He was blowing games left and right,
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So to see him go
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: there and get Durbin, because we got Durbin out of that, right,
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: I mean, Durbin's been awesome, you know what I mean.
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: So I'll take it.
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: Huge for you guys, that's for sure.
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: And I actually feel bad for Kinley because, as you know,
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: he was a former Yankee. Last night, he's throwing that bait.
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: He's got, he got the bases, I guess they got
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: out here. We're a little bit oh wow, down the middle,
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: down the middle and has a really good hitter. So
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: that's a big strike out for you.
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: No, last night, Tommy Kinley, former Yankee, I actually felt
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: really bad for him.
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: But that fifteen in the game, that's vintage postseason. Okay,
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: that is to me what October baseball is. Give me
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: scoop overs rally every postseason, and I'll watch that at
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: bat every time. I loved it. I felt that that
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: was one of the best postseason games in a while.
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: Here o, Brian, Yeah, fifty inning, that's crazy. I think
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: I fell asleep watching that game.
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: I was asleep and I woke up just in time
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: for the fifteenth inning.
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, no, it's it's a great time of year.
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: You know, it's it's you know, everything think kicking in
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: the full motion, and you know feels like the Packers.
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: I mean, they haven't played at Lambeoufield in almost a
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: month and they play tomorrow, so hopefully tomorrow they can
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: get there, they can get their get back and get
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: back and then win column. And you know you mentioned too.
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: I don't think I really answered on your question about
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: the about the tie. I mean, I guess I kind
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: of death. I think the way the NFL those ties
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: are stupid. But you know, going into that game, everybody
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: had the Packers blowing the Cowboys out, you know, almost
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: to the point to where it's like, even though it
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: was a tie, it felt like we lost the game,
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And even though we tied,
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: the Cowboys probably felt like they won the game so
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: at that it's just I don't know, it's it's I
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: don't know. Hopefully it doesn't hurt us in the playoffs.
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: My my number one thing about the playoffs is I
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: don't I don't really care about the seedings as long
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: as we get into the playoffs. Because look at the
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: Packers in twenty ten, they're a wild card team and
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: they they went to Philly, they went to Atlanta, they
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: went to Chicago, and they just blew them out of
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: the water. Yep, every single game. Look at last year
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: or was it last year or two years ago?
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: What could have been different where Rogers gets more than
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: one ring? I feel like that was kind of crazy
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: that he only got what one ring out of that
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: whole era.
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I don't know. He had the talent around him.
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: I just I just don't know what it was. I mean,
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: for years there we ran under freaking Colin Kaepernick. He
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: couldn't stop him. He had one hundred and almost twenty
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: years rushing against us. You know, when it came into
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: the playoffs, you know, I remember the one year we
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: roar number one seed and we got I mean, we
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: got beat It's just I don't know. I don't know.
- 1:20:50Speaker 2: I don't know what could be different. I mean he's
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: always people always like, oh he doesn't He's never had,
- 1:20:55Speaker 2: you know, a first round receiver to throw the ball to,
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: and I'm thinking he's never needed one. You look at
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: Greg Jennings, you look at Jordy Nelson, you look at
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: James Jones, you look at DeVante Adams. None of those
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: guys were first round receivers, first round draft picks. It
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: depends on the quarterback. If you have a quarterback like
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: an Aaron Rodgers or a Brett Fire, you don't need
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: to have a first round draft pick receiver to be successful.
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: Look at how good Greg Jennings was because of Aaron Rodgers.
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: And then Greg Jennings left Green Bay. He ran his mouth,
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: he went to the Vikings, he went to the Dolphins.
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: He became a nobody. He referred to Aaron Rodgers as
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: number twelve. How disrespectful?
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: Does you know what I mean? He retired though spring
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: up numbers. Does he get twelve retired?
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely? Absolutely? What he done, what he's done for
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: the Packers, absolutely, I mean he's done the same amount
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: as far as championships as Brett Farre and I actually
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: went to Brett Farb's uh retirement ceremony at Lambele. That's
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: pretty fun. I had a body that's forty, he's a
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: he's a he's a diehard Niner fan, and he actually
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: got tickets to the Brett Pharre. He's like, hey, man,
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: I'm gonna be in green I'm gonna be come with
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: the green Bery. You want to go to this? And
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, yeah, I do you know? Sitting there
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: and just the standing ovation he got at Lambeau was
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: just something that I'll never forget. It's crazy.
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: I mean, it's just he's a legend. Now. I'm also
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: thinking of the Brett Farvan scene, which was the guy
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: that got beat up a lot in the Boundy Gate situation.
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: Did that did that bother you? I know he's on
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: the Vikings. Did that piss you off? That that the
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: Saints we text?
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: So the way I feel about that is I was
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: still I guess I could say I was still salty
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: that he went to the Vikings and at in the moment,
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: it was cool to I mean, it was kind of
- 1:22:54Speaker 2: cool to see, but not cool to see. But once
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: you once you find out about what the bounty Gate
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: and like once you like evolve and mature is like,
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: I mean that that was some crazy, some crazy doings
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: behind the scenes, you know what I mean. And to
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: see them go out there and do that, I mean,
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: it's not professional. It's it's not the game. I mean,
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: it's you go out there to be competitive and have
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: fun and not you know, try to freaking murder somebody.
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: You know, it's you know.
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: I'm going to share this on my as I mentioned
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: my podcast and my YouTube as well. But for those
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: who may not know Cheese Talk pod and listen to
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: my show, what do you guys talk about? Like what's
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: your because you have people, you have guests on, But
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: do you do your own rips as well? Do you
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: do your own monologues and whatnot?
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: My own rips aitars? Like my clips?
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like your own thoughts? I mean, do you
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: voice a lot? Do you do this a lot? On
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: the YouTube?
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: I do? I I need to get on there and
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: I've been I need to start making more shorts, but
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: I've just been so busy. Uh. Most of my clips
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: I have on there are like from like my podcast.
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: I'll go back and I'll clip certain things whatever, Like
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: I was on with Mafia Members pot a few weeks ago,
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: and one of the questions I asked him was, if
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: you could pick any former or current Buffalo Bill the
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: baby sit your children, who would it be. His immediate
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: response was definitely not OJ Simpson. So I had the
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: clip that and put it as a short on my
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: YouTube channel. But I need to get on my YouTube channel,
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: and I need to start being more active as far
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: as like just stuff besides pods and like voice in
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: my opinions, voicing my thoughts. But I've just been so
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: busy with games.
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: That'd be so cool if you did a little highlight
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: reel those guys.
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: Yeah. But the thing is is it's kind of hard
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: because I don't want to have that burden going to
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: my kids and my wife to be the one like
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: recording the game when they're supposed to be when they
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: want to watch the game, you know what I mean. Maybe,
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: like one i'm not coaching, I can do that with videos.
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: I know my daughter, she's a freshman this year and
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: she plays lacrosse, and like this whole summer I was
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: like doing video clips of her and putting up under
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: her Instagram page and stuff like that. But I don't know.
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: It's you know, it's amazing some of these parents, some
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: of these parents that are putting their kids up because
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: they know the power of social media could get them
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: recruited years down the road. I mean, it's pretty amazing. Plus,
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: you get to watch your kids evolution from when they
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: started to now. It's got to be special to document.
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: But yeah, the recruiting field is so different with social
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: media now because all they got to do is to
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: get this reel out there and maybe a coach picks
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: them up.
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: All you gotta do is just throw the kid enough
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: money and be done. I think I think the nil
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: is an absolute joke because I think it's a joke.
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: I think I think it's necessary. But there's got to
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: be better enforcements. They got to be like each division
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: one school, so each division one program, like so football,
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: each division. When football teams across the board, like in
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: the in the whatever, the they should all have the
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: same amount of money to play with that stuff they
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: should have all the same. They should have the same
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: amount of money to play with. Basketball should be the same.
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: I mean, different sports. They all got to have the
- 1:26:31Speaker 2: same amount of money to go across the board. It
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: ain't fair for one school to have this much, one
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: school to have that much. It's just you know, And
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: I go back to the you know, Wisconsin whatever, like
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: the Xavier or Lucas. He was like a five star,
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: four star cornerback. He was a freshman for Wisconsin last year.
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: He was awesome. He ended up. He wanted to wanted
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: to get he wanted to transfer, and they Wisconsin would
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: wouldn't and his leave. And I'm thinking, I was thinking
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: this whole time. This goes back to like me calling
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: something out and I was being I was right about it,
- 1:27:08Speaker 2: like there's gonna be something behind this. There's gotta be
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: something behind it. Sure enough that Wisconsin is suing Miami
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: right now for tampering because he signed like a two
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: year deal with from what I from, I've what I've seen,
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: a two year deal with nil company, and he left
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: after a year, and then you had Miami contacting him
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: during his freshman year, which is illegal. So there's gotta
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: be rules and bound boundaries that that gotta be the
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: same across the board, you know. And I think you
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: look at aj Store, he was great at Wisconsin. He's
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: like on his eighth school in eight years. You know,
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: how how can he how can he be granted to
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: be able to transfer and play right away? And you
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: have football players they want transfer and they can't play
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: right away, you know what I mean? How is that fair?
- 1:28:04Speaker 2: I mean, it just makes absolutely no sense. Michigan, they
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: got caught cheating, they got found guilty. Take the damn
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: trophy away from them.
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's one of the big things about all that. Look,
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: I am a big hardball guy, and I want to
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: say how we translated into the into the football the
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: pro world. And look, it's clear they're not the same
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: in Michigan. But you're right, they did have cheating going
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: on and it's pretty evident. But I don't know the
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: NCAA will not will not do those type of things. However, well,
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: kids that were not involved in the paternal situation get
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: their things stripped because it's just it's all a mess. Anyway.
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: I I can go on about that, but I'd love tonight, Brian.
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: This was this was awesome to get to talk to
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: you a little bit one on one on the pod.
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: This has been so cool man. Thank you having me.
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: Absolutely, It's just it's just fun just to come on
- 1:28:59Speaker 2: and not really have a script and just talk about
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: stuff that, you know, whatever, you know for five.
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: Hours, I think, because this leads to one thing after another.
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: You know, right, you know, and hopefully the Brewers can
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: win here tonight and hopefully hopefully we can live we
- 1:29:13Speaker 2: can live we can live live cast or you know,
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: podcasts during a during a Bearis Packers game. It would
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: be kind of fun.
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: I looked at it.
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: I don't play it till like any of the year,
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: though they played twice, like within like four weeks of
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: each other, twice.
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: Day super Bowl. Is that what's going to happen down
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: the road, Like it's going to be excited so far
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: out it is President's a Weekend instead of what it
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: is now.
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: I don't know. I think eventually the NFL is going
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: to be more games in the season.
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: I think that's what I mean. I think they're gonna
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: put it in nineteen weeks, eighteen games. You move it
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: to President's a Weekend, and you literally have the national
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: holiday after that because people don't want to go to workout.
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: Do you want to go to the rounds football? I mean,
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: we don't want to go to workout of the foot bowl.
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: This is one of those things.
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: Yeah, so they play December seventh, and they played December
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: twenty first, so they played two weeks apart from each other.
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: And get a little snow in there. I always love snowy.
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: When I was a little kid and it snowed, my
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: dad and I would play in the snow. It was
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: the coolest thing. Yeah, I love football in the snow.
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: There's nothing like it. Yeah, you've probably got a lot
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: of that as you were growing up.
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: Oh, I used to love it. Like when my dad
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: would paula driveway, there'd be the three or four foot
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: snow bank and I'd have the football like I'm running
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: and I'd jump over the pile like I was going
- 1:30:40Speaker 2: like a refrigerator paide going into the end zone. You know,
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: because I grew up out in the country, so I
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: was that's what I did.
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: That's so cool. Uh yeah, I mean it is fun
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: when So anyway, the point is December, Chicago, Green Bay,
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: one of those cities should have a snowy game that day.
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: All right, tailgating because here in New York where tailgaters.
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: But do you guys do anything crazy for tailgating or
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: not not? Or is the usual tailgate? Like what's that?
- 1:31:09Speaker 3: Like?
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: I think there's people that sit are on they drink, eat,
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: have fun party. You know, probably heckle heck all the
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: other fans. And you know, do you.
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: Find a lot of visiting teams get a lot of
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: fans coming up.
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: I'd say there's been more Bear fans than I'd like
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: to see in Green Bay lately. As far as going
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: to games, I know they did change the ticket holder
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: policy in Green Bay to where if it ain't you
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: come to the games and you're selling you tickets, they're
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: gonna start taking away your season tickets on you. I mean,
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: the list for season tickets in Green Bay is like
- 1:31:53Speaker 2: there's like thirty thirty forty year wait, it's it's it's crazy.
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: I'm George ridiculous. And and uh, do you find a
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: lot of out of towner's Our green Bay teas and
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: ticket holders are mainly the guys in town.
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: There's a lot out of towners. They have like a
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: Milwaukee package, which is when they played down at County Stadium,
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: so you get the certain certain level tickets for X
- 1:32:16Speaker 2: games and other certain level tickets for other games. So

- 1:32:48Speaker 1: do this again, man on on my pod, on your pod,
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: we gotta collect before I go. Anything else you had
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: on your mind before we before tonight.
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: What's your favorite type of cheese? Oh?
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: I actually like provolone, so on my subways saying is
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: I love pro cheese.
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: There's awesome. I love ghost pepper, and of course.
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: I'd be a cheese talk pod question about my favorite cheese.
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And my.
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: Least is I don't really like feta, but I don't
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: like Monster cheese. That's my work. That's the one I
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: don't like.
- 1:33:23Speaker 2: You don't like Monster.
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: What I don't The text of the taste is throats,
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: but we all have we have American cheese too on
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: our burgers and all that. But yeah, probolone is my special.
- 1:33:39Speaker 2: Okay, I my favorite My my favorite cheese is anything
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: within your reach. It's kind of funny. One thing before
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: I go is this last week we had all the girls.
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: Based we have a bunch of feta in.
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: The right feta cheese and then you take like uh
- 1:33:59Speaker 2: Greek free seasoning and you put it on there and
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: you mix it on. It's really good. But so this
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: last week we had the third grade girls basketball introductory
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: skills clinic type thing and we had all the girls
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: in a circle and we asked them all their favorite
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: type of ice cream. And then they asked all the
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: coaches the favorite type of ice cream. And it came
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: to me and I'm like, yeah, my favorite type of
- 1:34:21Speaker 2: ice cream is anything within your reach. And the reaction
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: from the kids was absolutely hilarious. But no, it's just
- 1:34:32Speaker 2: it's such a joy coach and you sports, it's so fun.
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: It's so fun. You know. It's to see the kids
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: having fun and smiling and working together to accomplish a goal.
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: It is a pretty cool thing to see.
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: You so, I tell you, and I've seen it where
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: like there are some kids that you know, just want
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: to do the sport and they work their asset up
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: do you find those kids inspire the other kids in some.
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: Ways, I'd say yes, And for the most part, yeah,
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: you get kids that are ultra competitive and maybe can
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: be a little bit too competitive, not too competitive, but
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: just like if other kids feel like they're behind, you
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. It's just I don't know, it's
- 1:35:12Speaker 2: it's kind of hard for me to explain, I guess,
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: But do you have kids, there's you know, kids on
- 1:35:16Speaker 2: a football team that doesn't matter the skill level of
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: the kids or whatever. He's he's there to try to
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: help them and and and keep the kids confidence and
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: and everything. So it's it's you see different different different
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: types of athletes across the board, I guess, and how
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: they approach you know, other teammates and whatnot. So it's
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: it's across the board. I guess.
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: We had a kid, uh, Scottie Pollock, and I always
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: talk about him play adaptive basketball. We don't chair basketball
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: with no arms. There's some footage of it too, with
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: no arms, played the game like a captain, like a leader,
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: and he would dribble basketball with his feet only. It
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: was it was quite remarkable, but that kid lit up
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: the entire court and and made them play better because
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: he was excelling at the game.
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: Yep, it's crazy, It really is crazy, and you know, yeah,
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: it's it's just it's just cool to see kids to
- 1:36:14Speaker 2: go out there compete. Like I said, they all have
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: one goal and to see whether it's basketball you got
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: five people in the court, whether it's football you have
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: eleven people in the court. Whether it's soccer you have
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: eleven people in the court. Lacrosse you got I don't
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: know how many people does to see you all come
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: together to accomplish one goal. It's a pretty cool thing
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: to see with young kidship.
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: I'm sure. I mean that's part of the tenant as
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: a color a coach, right.
- 1:36:39Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, it's it's uh, it's just it's just fun.
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: It's just fun to be around, fun to take those
- 1:36:47Speaker 2: few hours a week. No, it's it's just it's just cool.
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: It's just cool to see the young kids have fun
- 1:37:02Speaker 2: and get excited about a sport. You know. Super cool.
- 1:37:08Speaker 1: For a while. I'll come back on, but you're gonna
- 1:37:11Speaker 1: we're done. We should definitely do another show in the
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: LCS in one way or the other, but especially if
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: the Burgers make it, we'll have to see how this
- 1:37:19Speaker 1: goes tonight.
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm down. Oh.
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: I mean, there's plenty of baseball to go along, right,
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: And even the other night when the Yanks were down
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: six to one in the third inning, baseball, there's plenty
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: of ball to play.
- 1:37:31Speaker 2: So and they came back in one, right, they only came.
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: Back in one. Judge had a big homer. And I
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: love Aaron Judge, but I'm just gonna say, on your show,
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: cal Rally VP, there's no debate about this. A Aaron
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: was not healthy all of the year. He was actually
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: injured like two to three weeks.
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: Me.
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: Cal was making records for Seattle that has not been
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: made since the Griffy Junior era. And see those home
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: runs were so clutch. It just sixty homers is an
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: MVP season. I don't care what anybody in New York says.
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: And I love the people in New York, but in
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: this one, he got it. In baseball minded not loyalty
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: to Aaron Judge minded right there.
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: Yeah, because you can hep Aaron Judge all you want,
- 1:38:17Speaker 2: but if he's not, if he's not, you know, if
- 1:38:19Speaker 2: you guys are winning championships, then it's just not that
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: player in your team. You know, it's tough.
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: I mean, I do want him to come through in
- 1:38:25Speaker 1: the postseason for us, and he did this year. But
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: you know I saw stat Brian saying he did this,
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: that and the other for the first time since Babe
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: ruth Well, unfortunately this postseason was only five games, right,
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: so three I have seven games. That's not a big
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: number in a postseason. Say you're Babe Ruthie, and okay,
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: you need to do it for thirteen games if it's
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: wild card included. If it's not, it's eleven. It's three
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: plus four plus four is eleven. Yeah, eleven game games.
- 1:39:00Speaker 1: But it's just it's it's not coming together in the postseason.
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: And I don't know why I'm out for the Yankees.
- 1:39:09Speaker 2: So many people want the manager fired, so many people
- 1:39:14Speaker 2: do Aaron Boen.
