  Speaker 1: Drew, Billy, and Armin. I love it.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Just about ready to hit the air, and Billy says,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: keep racking that big brain of yours. Keep racking that
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: brain of yours. Racking that Marquette brain of yours. Well,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: that's the.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: One of these diamonds happening. Hey, well, no, that's the
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: off-air show. What did we say, the second show? That's
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: the second show.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the second show. The commercial break podcast, yeah.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That means we have three shows today because we're doing
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: one at Pottawatomie Sportsbook.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: We're going to have to remember where all the gold is.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a hell of a job.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: With Wayne Larrabee and our friends from Jameson giving away
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a pair of Packers tickets tonight and some delicious samples, which, baby,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: can't wait.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: It is going to be a great day to be
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: there all day, though.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: And you were talking about the Thursday night game, obviously,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: tonight in Buffalo and them opening the stadium and the
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: fact that the Brewers played during the day. It might
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: be one of those where you say, I'm sorry, honey,
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I've got to get there early to set up.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Two of the teams that the Packers are competing against
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: in the NFC North. will lose this week. One for sure,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: and I think the Bills will win. I don't see
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the Bills losing on their home opener, but stranger things
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: have happened. That's the tough thing, Drew. Stranger things have happened,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and worse things have happened to the Buffalo Bills. If
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: any team could have that kind of catastrophe happen of,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know, say they're up four with 35 seconds.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: To go, now the Suns win. That's kind of Packers.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: But if all of a sudden you're up and all
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: of a sudden Jared Goff lead throws a deep ball
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and somehow Jamison Williams is wide open the back end
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: and finishes off the game and folks have to walk
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: out of new Highmark Stadium sad for the first time.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't be the most surprise.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: No, it would be.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: It'd be the most surprising thing that happens this football season.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen's dialed in. He's ready waiting for this one.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: They've been walking around this construction for like two or
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: three years, right? They got a big Buffalo stadium. Three
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: big Buffaloes that people are walking in and walking through to.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Get into the stadium. It's cool. They're setting a hell
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of a, setting a hell of a mood there in Buffalo.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: He'll be ready, but the defense, you know, the thing
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: is that they're going to be points in this game.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: You'd think.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: And then again, it is Thursday night. I've gone back
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: and forth on this over under 54 and a half.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: We'll get into it more tonight. Talking about the wagering
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: aspect of it right now, the bills are sitting as
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: a five point favorite, a pot of water, me sports book. But,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: you know, Lions plus 190. I mean, I don't see
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: it happening either. But then again, it's very possible because
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: the Lions are a good team. And like you said,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: you know, stranger things. Well, this is, you know, this
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: is the NFL where stranger things always happen. Yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Bills favored by three and a half at this juncture,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: which is almost a pick them. But according to the
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: eggheads and the computers, bills are 64 percent probability to win. Well,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and that's the nice thing about it. We'll talk about
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: it at the Pottawatomie Sportsbook. You can move that line around.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: A lot of institutions have it up at five. You
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: can move it to three and a half, get it
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: at minus 132. Buffalo Bills, it's minus 240 just to
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: win the football game. That and a Josh Allen touchdown.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: It should be a lot of fun to be able
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: to mess around here on the old kiosk. I see
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: value in the Sunday matchup at Soldier Field. Vikings and Bears. Bears,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: five and a half point favorites.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Right now it's four and a half at Pottawatomie Sports.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: They are everyone's favorite right now, Drew.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Opened at three and a half, and then I think
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of Bears fans heading to the window
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to try to crush their man. Well, and there's a
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: lot of folks that are becoming Bears fans nationally. I mean,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: not only just because on our air, Colin Cowherd, Chicago's
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: newest resident, has been hyping them up. The fact is
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: they're going to put up a ton of points week
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: in and week out. How much are they going to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: stop folks? That will be a great question to answer.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: This is going to be a hell of a test week, though,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: for Williams in this offense of what kind of answers
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: do they have for Flores? Because they lose Dahlman in
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the offseason, their center. They grabbed Bradbury. They drafted the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: kid Jones out of Iowa. I thought he was going
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: to be their center. But instead, he apparently just didn't
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: look good enough in camp. So, I'm interested to see
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: how they block it up and how Williams handles the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: pressure because right now, he's understandably so, everybody's top flavor
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: of the year.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the hype, the hype.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I only understand the hype too because I understandably so
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: for Bears fans and for the Bears right now, it's
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: all puppy dogs and ice cream, but I don't predict
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: you're going to score 59 points every week, so we'll
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: see what happens.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Billy, you hit me with some guys that the Packers
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: could have drafted yesterday, and that will always sting. Those
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: are tough spots, yes. After Lucas Van Ness and the
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: things that the Packers did. What if we had a
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: time machine, an alternate universe where the Packers acquire Joe
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Tooney and the— Bears.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Got Aaron Banks. And the Bears would have gotten Aaron Banks, yeah.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: What would be different then? Oh, man.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Well, and Drew, at the time, I kind of thought,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: because Dolman was the number one center on the market
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: at the time, and that was the year that the
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Packers let Josh Myers walk away. So they're in the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: market for a center. The thought is they'll move Elton
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Jenkins over. But Bears signed Dolman pretty quickly out of
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: free agent. at the start of free agency for less
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: money than Aaron Banks got. I kind of figured the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Packers were in that conversation. It would have just felt
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: like made more sense. Let's not upset all of the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: apple carts, but they wanted a big body and a
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: parent mauler from San Francisco. And yeah, that, uh, the
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: deals you make, the deals you don't make, Now, Dallman
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: ends up playing phenomenally as an all-pro and then retires.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So then they're back to square one.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it could have been a much, much different
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: situation if they gave up a couple of draft picks
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and signed some money for Joe Tooney or Jonah Jackson, too.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, they paid a decent amount of money for
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: their right guard as well in the offseason from the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Rams last year, and he ended up having one of
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the healthier years of his career. What does it say
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: that the Packers line opened with them favored by 6.5,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and now it's down to 4.5?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Not surprising.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: And frankly, Drew, I would not, since the Pottawatomie Sportsbook
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: is obviously on Green Bay Packer fan land ground.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Good point.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I think their number might be a little bit different
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: at other places. I would expect the Jets to be
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: a heavily invested on team this week. And one that
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of folks and books are going to be
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: taking an interest to because they, albeit played the Tennessee
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Titans a week ago. It's not like that is a
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: game that changes many preseason prognostications of the Jets. But
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: they were so god-awful a year ago, and people were
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: so loud about wanting Glenn fired in that fan base,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: that I think there are many people that just planned
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: on them being cheeks and kind of death-trotting it to
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the finish line. They come out with some vigor and fight,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and you remember that they got some young players that, again,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: you have that many top five picks, at some point
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you're going to be able to hit on something. They've
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: got some good players. They've got some, some youth and
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: you're number two in that system. There's some excitement there.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: So I anticipate the jets number. If anything, you like
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the Packers. I would wait a little tech. Cause you
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: might even get it a little different number coming up
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: closer to kickoff.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The confidence is not there for the Packers right now.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned it, Billy, we are where we are.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: We're in Packers land and maybe that number is affected
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: a pot a lot of be more, but it is
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: interesting how people chase results in that sense.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You know, you just talked about it with the bears and, Um,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. I was getting a text from
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: our engineer, Alec.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Usually that's not necessarily a good thing, but in this
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: case it was because he was complaining about the lack
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: of respect that his Seahawks are not getting and saying
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: that he can't believe that they're only four point favorites
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: and that. So it's interesting how people will chase results
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: from week one. But the nice thing is when you
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: go to Pottawatomie, you have an opportunity to, like you said, Billy,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: move the line to where you want. to try and
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: get the best number. And they also have a lineup
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: for Packers-Falcons already. If you really wanted to show some
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: confidence in your Packers and get that at minus six
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: and a half, if you believe they're going to blow
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: out the Falcons. So you can invest on that early.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: So it is really nice. But it is going to
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: be interesting to see how things shake out as we
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: approach week two, starting tonight with the Bills.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Starting tonight with us as the warm-up act for Bills-Lions.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Thursday night huddle, Pottawatomie Sportsbook. Annex, come and see us
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: from 5 to 7. Wayne Larravee, the Jamison folks. That's
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the draw. And a chance to win some Packers tickets
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: for a week from tonight. It's a great draw to
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: be able to have a chance to win Packers tickets.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Even better opportunity to see, one, what Armin Sarian looks like. Two,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Wayne Larravee in the flesh. Those are huge prizes.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I think number two is better. I don't know. I
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: would disagree.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: But you have the opportunity to hang back, listen, and
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: hear what Wayno thinks about this Packers offensive line. We
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: talked about it a lot during training camp live. However,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: all we had waited for was precisely what we had
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: on Sunday. Now we were expecting it and hoping it
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: to be a much better result, but you were waiting
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: for some kind of proof, something on tape, something in
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: front of you, a tangible result against another opponent to say,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: are the concerns that we had all offseason long, were
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: they valid? Turned out very valid. Now you've got to
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: figure out how much better and how quickly you can
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: get better. I'm excited to hear Wayne's prognostications of the team.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Wayne's not going to sugarcoat things. He's going to tell
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: you how he feels about it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: He's always honest, always honest, and that's what you love
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: about him, and he'll be honest, especially in that environment.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: You know Wayne's going to have some fun, and we're
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: going to have some fun.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a legendary moment, and I've been
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: told Miller Lite legendary moments start with a Lite. There's
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: going to be some of those flowing tonight as well
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: with those Jamesons. For sure. You talked about Aaron Glenn.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: This is the Aaron Glenn game. It's a Geno Smith game.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Can Geno Smith lead the JETs to 2-0? Where they
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: haven't been since Joe Namath. I was going to say, yeah,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: the Mark Sanchez years. I mean, but Gino Smith, apparently,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: and I didn't know this. I love to find stuff
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: like this out. Apparently, Gino Smith has a photographic memory.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: And I'm wondering, because you've seen, is it McVeigh that
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: knows every call and every play he's ever drawn up
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: in the dirt? But Gino Smith, if he has a
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: photographic memory, do guys with photographic memories, do they ever
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: lose their keys like I do? Like, do you remember everything? Like,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: where are my car keys? Do they ever misplace anything
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: if you have a photographic memory? Well, that would be
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: a lot easier to sit on the couch and know
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: exactly where you let the TV remote slide through the crack.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: At least, you know, all right, I was sitting right
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: there last time I actually flipped the remote.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: No, no, I might have been over here. No, hold on.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Let me just rip the whole thing apart here. Well,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: he definitely forgets something, at least according to that young
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: lady whose video said he forgot a lot of those
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: child support payments this offseason.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Hey, now. Yeah. By the way, you can still lose
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: things if you have a photographic memory.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Thanks to AI. So I don't know if that's accurate.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: But lapses do happen. There's a myth of total recall.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: It doesn't mean you can get every detail like a
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: high resolution camera. Um, so it's still normal brain function,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: even if you have a highly.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: So do you have to like take the mental picture,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: like an all pass where you start, it's going click like,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: like meta glasses.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Like you have to make the sound too, to know
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: that you have it in your head or do you
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: just look at it and say, this is the stuff
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I'm going to remember.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: This is the stuff I don't necessarily care about. Wouldn't know.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: People always say, or when you remember a lot of things,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I do remember odd details, but as you know, I
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: forget a lot of simple stuff. Like, Oh yeah, we
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: have to give this one. So I forget that stuff too.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: So I really don't know.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: But you remember the things you care about, like the
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: 1992 finals game five.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Like I remember like, Oh, I care about like what did, uh,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: what did so-and-so socks look like in the 1995 playoffs?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Um, you're right.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: So it is interesting. I think the guy, who would
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: you ask Aaron Rogers? I think that's the guy everyone
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: talks about with the photographic memory. Like he remembers every
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: play pretty uncanny. What he can do is crazy. I
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: saw in the, um, Whose podcast was it?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I'm blanking now. It was teammate.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Cam Hayward?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Cam's podcast.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: He was talking about his scuffle with, well, scuffle's the
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: wrong word, but his argument with Mike McCarthy on the
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: sideline in 2013 against the Bengals. He remembered, like, every
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: detail of it. So, hey, I mean, some guys just
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: had that ability. But, yeah, I mean, did Aaron ever.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Forget his keys? I'm sure he's forgotten something. I would
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: think so. Yeah, so that is pretty interesting. I wonder.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: 877-794-1973 gets you into the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: This one, Caleb Williams, quote, preparing for mental war with
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Brian Flores this week.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: So, Drew, there it is.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: That shows that's going to be a battle in that
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: noon slate.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Pretty solid noon slate this week.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Noon slate maybe left a little something to be desired
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: in week number one. It is a girthy one coming
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: up this week, and shockingly so. They'll be rather light
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: in the 3 o'clock window because we only get five
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: games there. I think we could even those out a
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: little bit, but Jags-Broncos will be a good one in
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: that 325.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Guys, we had a question from ThisIsSteve in the text line.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Come on, Steve. Maybe you can take a stab at it. Guys,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: he was wondering.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Now, I don't know if this is really true. This
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: happens a lot, but he was wondering maybe because of
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: the struggles in week one.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering, guys, good morning.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I saw that Packers brought in wide receivers and quarterbacks
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: for tryouts.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Why aren't they bringing in any old linemen for tryouts?
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: They did bring in a guard. There was somebody, right?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I was going to ask that.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: There was one guard on that workout list. They'll bring
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: in different guys throughout the season, and teams will check in.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, Drew, right? Tuesdays generally is workout day. That's right.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: And most teams have at least one guy come in, right?
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Kind of usually have multiple. They'll usually have at least
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: a couple of guys come in. The even the percentage
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: of those guys that then get signed to the practice squad,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I think would be strikingly low compared to how many
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: they actually bring in and how many you hear about. But.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Steve, it's a fair point.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, Lucas Patrick was a tryout with the commanders
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: earlier this week and then he got signed to the
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: active roster. There are guys out there. The difficult question
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: about offensive line play right now and one that I
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: think in the last couple of years is a pretty
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: good case study for it. Around the league, the position
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: is being played at a lesser level. It is mostly
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: because of the lack of ability to prepare and practice it.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: The amount of As Matt LaFleur liked to say, time
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: on task. You can only manufacture so much time on
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: task and on the practice field playing and repping and
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: working with the same guys that you just don't have
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: a ton of. And across the league, there is a
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: quest to be able to find them. So there's not
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: as many good offensive linemen, or I think even you
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: could say Serviceable offensive lineman. Available and serviceable is one
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: that there's not a ton of right now. Well, that's
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: why Packers worked out. The guy they worked out was
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Colson Cordell Volson.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a sweet name.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Cordell Volson.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a guy that knows what he's doing.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: They do have a practice squad position open, but he
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: was a fourth-round pick of the Bengals in 2022. Between
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: his rookie season in 2024, he played in 50 games,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: 48 starts for Cincinnati. Hasn't played, appeared in a regular
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: season game since 2024, but he has over 3,000 snaps
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: of regular season experience at left guard. And a North
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Dakota guy. Most recently with the Tennessee Titans. Was in
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: training camp with them and got released at the final
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: cut down. Oh, and you guys have talked about, you know,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: the way he allowed 43 pressures and committed eight penalties
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: in 2024. Yeah.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, the.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Reason, the reason maybe why it's not there, but listen,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: he played a played into that playoff run that the
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Bengals had notes in 22.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: But you guys have talked about like the Kevin Zeitler thing.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Is that more of a pipe dream? Is that reality?
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I know maybe the Josh sweat people have moved to
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Kevin Zeitler as being like, we got.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: To get, I don't think it's understandable.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: You react that way after a game to say, who
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: can we, how can we fix this problem? But I
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: don't know if that's going to be reality or not.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Will he play again with somebody?
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I rumor his sources close to our situation say that
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: he's been working out waiting for the phone to ring.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Which is.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: It would play. Based on what Billy said. That is
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: not a Packers type move, right, Billy? It's not like a.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Not very. No, you're right.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: It's like the Packers tend to do the Gene Hackman
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Hoosiers like my team is on the floor. This is
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: who I'm going to war with. This is who I'm
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: taking and we'll live and die with it. I can't
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: say that it's not. It would make plenty of sense, right?
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Let me start there.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: But it would be an unpackers like move. The tough
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: thing is here.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: And it's whether it's this week, whether it's next week
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: on Thursday night, whether it's the week after that against
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay, at some point with the resources, you have
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the food that you got in the cabinet, Jagger Burton's
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: going to have to be a part of the solution.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: So whether or not they didn't want to put him
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: out there in the wasteland of us bank stadium that
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I get, I, I could listen to, I would disagree
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: with the decision, right? Like at that, I will firmly
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: disagree with it because the guy played in the sec
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: for how many snaps played, how many years in some
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: of the most raucous crazed environments in college football as
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: a road guy with Kentucky, where they were probably favored
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: to get smacked. Most games going up against teams where
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: they were a lot that they had a talent discrepancy against.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: So like if you identified him in the fifth round,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: picked them, Talked all offseason long, Drew, about him being
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: one of the guys that's going to be a part
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: of it. Got a really, really bright future. Rotate him
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: in with the ones as much as possible. If it's
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: not Aaron Banks, I think it's got to be Burton
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: because whenever you're going to start, whenever you wanted the
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: timeline to be to put him on, I think last
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: game's performance accelerates it by a couple of weeks. So
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: if you were hoping to get him a soft landing
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: in week five, that might have already gotten moved up
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: to week three.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: And.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: A couple of series in and similar results with Donovan
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Jennings there at left guard. Maybe it becomes the second
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: quarter of week two because you're going to have to
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: speed this thing up. The football team will tell you
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: when you have to make decisions. And I think they've
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: indicated very clearly to the coaching staff, we might have
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: to make this decision sooner rather than we'd like to.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I can see it.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Speaking of decisions, the Hall of Fame, Pro Football Hall
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: of Fame, slashing voters. Haven't heard about Pete Doherty's status yet,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: but they got rid of a lot of veteran guys.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: They got rid of John McCain. Wow, they're even gatekeeping
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the gatekeepers. Yeah. Wow.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: And John's been an absolute institution talking football down in Houston.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: And Rick Gosselin from Dallas, who was like, you know,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: this is a lot of veteran dudes.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: You got rid of Rick Gosselin?
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: These special teams, man? Well, are they giving those spots
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: to somebody else, Drew?
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: No, they said they were going from 50 to 28.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: They're just going all the way down.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Interesting. Dungy and Bill Polian out, too, I think. Unlike
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the Heisman, which has like 500 voters.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: There's a list of 22 voters getting cut, and at
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: least three other media members have to be.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Close ranks, boys. Close ranks.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: And they're no longer, from what McClain said, they're not
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: doing the personal speech or presentation for guys to go.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're changing the parameters of it. Interesting. That's interesting.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: And one of the interesting ones, the guy who got retained. Oh,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: because they botched it last year.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Was Va Gregorian of the Kansas City Star, who was
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: one of the guys to confirm no votes on Belichick.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, confirmed that he didn't vote for Belichick.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: And the reason that they're doing this whole soul search
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: is because of the Belichick.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, because of the Belichick thing.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: So it's just wild.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: And when all reality, it was the process and the
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: weird logistics of how they allowed you only to vote
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: a certain amount of guys. Now, still, if you're allowed
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: to vote for three guys, Bill Belichick should have been
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: one of the three. But.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Interesting on the selectiveness of who ends up getting a
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: part of it and who doesn't.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: We're going from 50 to 28. I would have bet
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: anything that McLean is in every inner circle. That guy, yeah.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: There's a couple of guys that I've dealt with. When
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: he talks about those old Euler stories, I love him.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: There were two people from Cleveland there, Tony Grossi and
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Mary Kay Cabot, both out.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Matt Maioco, out. Polian, out. Lisa Salters, out. There goes
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: my chance for a vote. Yeah, there's a bunch of guys.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got Darren Gantz from Carolina.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: He's been there a long time, too. So a lot
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: of guys got bounced from that committee. Interesting stuff.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: When we come back, Scott Dolphin's going to join the party.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: It's halftime of the Thursday edition of The Huddle. It's
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: our doubleheader. So I guess halftime's actually the end of
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: the show today because we got the Thursday night huddle
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: live at Pottawatomie Sportsbook in the Annex tonight, 5 to 7,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: with Wayne Larrabee and our friends from Jameson giving out
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: a pair of Packer tickets at the end of the show.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: And some samples during the show.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: When we come back, Dolph will join us, and we're
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: going to have our last pair of Luke Bryan tickets
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: to give away to see him at Alpine Valley September 26th.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: You're going to want to listen to the huddle. Drew, Billy,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: and Armand bringing it to you on this Thursday in
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: the good land.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Warm-up act.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: It's the first game of our doubleheader. It's the Thursday
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: night huddle. Pottawatomie Sportsbook tonight, 5 to 7 o'clock. Wayne
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Larrabee is going to be joining us. Our friends from
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Jameson have a pair of Packers tickets to give away.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: So that's nice.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Right now we're at halftime of the daily show and
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Scott Dolphin joins us from the country station on the hall.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Our cue to tell you to call 877-794-1973 to win
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: some Luke Bryan tickets coming to Alpine Valley, September 26th.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Oh baby.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: The word on the street tour, Drew Baldrige, Lauren Watkins,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: and Ray Lynn will be teeing it up a full
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: day of music for you and fun in a gorgeous
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: fall setting. You can do the fall foliage tour during
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: the day on your way in, maybe stop at the, uh,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: The pumpkin patch or the elegant farmer or something.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: All those are going to get tagged this weekend. That's
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: a good drop right there. Head into Alpine Valley.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: When my kid was at Whitewater, my wife and I
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: made a point of taking a separate way home so
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: we could drop by the elegant farmer and get some
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: of those caramel apple pies baked in the bag.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Baked in the bag. Oh, my gosh. So good. Oh,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: that's incredible. Worth the side trip to Mukwonago.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: The paper bag apple pie is a beautiful one. Now
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: everybody's doing the apple cider doughnuts. Everybody's trying to fire
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: up the apple cider donuts. They might still do it
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: better than everybody else.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: I read something this morning where there's a funeral company
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: out east that has a pumpkin spice casket now. Ooh.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: If you're that into the PSLs. Okay. For eternity.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Better PSLs than PCA, I would say.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: We hit two homers last night. I like that. Okay,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: you know what? Yeah, we have to get caller five.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Caller five.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Caller five, okay. Because the Brewers are five wins away
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: from 100. Caller five to win Luke Bryan tickets right now.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: And I just got to say... Pumpkin spice casket, wow.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Sprinkle a little nutmeg on this wood box. Is that
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: what that is?
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, spice it up a little bit. Yeah, spice it up.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: What are we doing here? Right.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: They're striking while the iron's hot, right?
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, PSL. Let me ask you this.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Where do you come down on, it's apple season, you
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: go to the apple orchard, or where do you come
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: down and pick an apple off a tree on someone's tree?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Can you just go up to a tree? On someone's tree,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: that would be theft, wouldn't it? Well, I have a question.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Is it theft or is that God? You're trespassing and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: then theft. Well, that's their tree, but those are God's apples.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Aren't they? He grows the apples.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I think the tree is your property, though, so I
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: think the apples would be, too.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, if you see it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Are you just walking up to people's houses and grabbing
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: apples off the tree?
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: What makes you think I'm asking for myself?
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe, Armin, wait for it to fall. Because it sounds
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: like Armin... Wanted to go to the apple orchard.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Check that.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Armin's wife wants to go to the apple orchard. Armin
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: then checked the price of the apple picking.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that sounds more. And said, hold on.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: I think Cindy and Ray have a couple of apple
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: trees down the road.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: You should just go pick some off theirs.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Well, you can pay for the apple orchard here and
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: you paid across this fence or you go down the street.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: There's apples growing right down the street. So what's the difference? Now,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: if they fall off and they're on the ground.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but are city apples in your neighborhood as good
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: as apple orchard apples that actually specialize?
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: No way. I mean, I'll agree with that. The way
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: these orchards do, they're great apples. Yeah, yeah. And they
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: have different types of apples if you like to make
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the difference.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: They probably don't have worms rolling through them. Or very
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: hungry caterpillars.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: You cut it open, you know.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: You ever see the Family Guy episode where Cleveland's giving
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: them a dissertation on the best apples?
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: And Peter says, what about Red Delicious? Garbage apple. What
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: about Honeycrisp? Science apple.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Made in a lab. What do you like, Cleveland? I
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: think he says, Fiji for eating and crab for sucking. Wow.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: I'm just asking, is it crazy? Okay, if there's a
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: raspberry bush and you pick one off, are you a thief?
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, where do we come down on it?
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Well, I guess that's like going to the grocery store
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: and sampling a grape just to see if you're going
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: to like it.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: You ever pluck a grape? Yeah, this depends.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, like if you're walking through Whitnall Park and
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: it's a raspberry bush, it's different than someone's yard.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody's yard. Oh, sweet, they got raspberries. So private
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: property is where we draw the line. Yeah, that's probably
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: where I would draw the line. I guess that makes sense.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: As a kid in small town Iowa, I had the
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: best of all that because I walked around. Each neighbor
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: had different types of raspberries or. We had a pear
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: tree in our backyard.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, so when you were a kid in small town Iowa,
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: you picked the fruit off the tree.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I did, all the time.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: But it sounds like there was a mutual deal. It
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: sounds like we were a community once upon a time.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Red Graham had Concord grapes, man. Those were awesome. Those
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: probably slapped. Go ahead, Billy.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: No, well, because our neighbor does. She has a very
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: robust raspberry bush, and she'll let us know, like, hey—
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: raspberries just flared up. Come on over here and grab some.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: That is a different deal than me going and picking
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: up the three-year-old's baseball that he throws over there for
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: the 94th time and be like, damn, they got some raspberries.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: We should just test a couple of these and see
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: if they're okay.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: So, Armin, have you thought about knocking on the door
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: and saying, would you mind if I picked a few apples?
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: Because a lot of times they just fall and they
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: rot after a while.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: This is a hypothetical, but sure it is. Sure it is. Well,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I have thought about it. Let me just say that.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Or sometimes I just thought about taking one and going,
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Or is this that you want to get an apple
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: tree and you want to know if you can sell
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: the apples that fall off?
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: That's what he was. I've wanted. Okay. Drew, that makes
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: a lot more sense.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: He's going around post labor day specials on apple trees saying, damn,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: if I do the plant thing now, we can be
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: getting cropped by the end of next year.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: And I could be making some cash.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: I have wanted to get like having fruit trees was
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: a plan of mine for a long time, but apple
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: After I see how much work it is and how
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: they can get messy and bring insects, I don't know
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: if I want one anymore. However, near us on the street,
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: there's a walnut tree, and these black walnuts are falling.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: You can turn ankles on those things.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: So you're telling me I can't make money off those then? Well,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I guess you could. It'd be kind of expensive if
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: you're trying to process them.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Right. I was wondering if there was– okay, so forget that,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: That's another failed plan.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: I like that we're trying some side hustles.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Sorry and side hustles on people's food.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, since Armand often makes reference to pancake eaters and
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: stuff because we're in the mornings and when he puts
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: stuff on social media.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: He refers to pancakes.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Did you see the Packers social team ask the question
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: of the day for players walking to practice yesterday? Was
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: one of the F. Mary Kildee start, cut, bench, or start, bench, cut.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Don't tell me it was breakfast foods. It was pancakes.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Waffles and French toast. Start, bench, and cut.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: Wow, that would be tough to cut anybody out of
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: that family.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, man, you've got to make tough decisions as a GM.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: For me personally, I would go pancakes, start, French toast, bench,
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: and waffles would be cut. I mean, if I had
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: to pick, but I like waffles, but they'd be third.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: They'd be my bronze medal winner.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: See, now this might be the best answer. He said,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: waffles are just pancakes with holes in them. He said,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Bill Nye, the science guy, we don't need you coming
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: in here with facts. That's why pancakes are going to
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: be superior to me than the waffles. Although I am
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: a syrup guy. And the nice thing about the waffle
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: is little holding spots for all of the syrup. That's
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: a good point. Those aren't necessarily holes. They're little pockets.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Little pockets for the flavor. I would agree.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: And I would also contend that waffle is more versatile
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: because it's a crunchier, more sturdy texture.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: You can use a sandwich bread. I don't have a,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: it's not that good though. I would be cutting. I'll try.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'd be cutting French toast for the same reason.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Cause like, you know, I've never heard of anybody ordering
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: pancakes and waffles or French toast and waffle chicken. You know,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: I want the chicken and waffle is, you know, Roscoe's
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: in LA.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Shout out. The chicken and waffle is so good. That
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: fried chicken breast with a waffle.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: In French toast, there's just something about that eggy consistency
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: around it.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Very custardy. Yeah.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: See, French toast is, though, one of my favorite things
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: to fire up. You do feel cool flipping that thing around,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: get a little bit of cinnamon in there, maybe a
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: tick of a no, and all.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Of a sudden you're like, wow, these things are good.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe some powdered sugar across the top. French toast on
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the Blackstone is quite delightful. And it's fun. That's the
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: other thing. It can be a little fun.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, if I'm really feeling healthy, maybe
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I'll even slice up a couple of berries to throw
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: on there.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: That's a very rare situation for us. More likely chocolate chips. Correct.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Drew. Thank you. Yeah, chocolate chips are good.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw Christian Watson starting pancakes and cutting French toast.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: So there's some really good answers.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: See, but that also doesn't... Again, I'm going to harmonize
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: the situation here. That's also not accounting for stuffed French toast.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: You start stuffing that French toast? Well, you can... Different deal.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: But you can't. This is just regular French toast then
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: for the question, isn't it? I mean, when you start.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I agree. That's a different. I mean, chicken waffles.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: You start stuffing that French toast, and it is a
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: different beast with the Texas toast.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: If I'm starting it, though, I have to think about
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: something I can use every day on the daily. I'm
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: not eating French toast every day. There's just no way.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: That's too much. It's a great once in every couple
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: weeks brunch kind of thing.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: I haven't had it in years. I remember going to IHOP.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Years ago, and they had a stuffed French toast.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Was that good?
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: They throw a little bit of strawberry cream in there,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: and I'll, holy cow, what are we doing?
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, it's money. That becomes a deal one. Absolutely.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I do appreciate a good breakfast food conversation, and it
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: is one of the toughest things for me to bypass
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: at the Thursday night huddle because they do have brunch
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: all day.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Now, they got the steak and eggs. Phenomenal. Couple of
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: different ones.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Chicken and waffles right there is a good one, Drew,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: and it might ultimately be what I cross off the
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: list tonight.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Those mama's pancakes are always certain for me right there.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: So good. But it might be a difficult one to
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: do while you're on the air.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: True.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Because you eat those mama's pancakes at an 11 a.m.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: brunch and try not to nap by 2.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: Well, and the worst part about being on the air
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: when there's a brunch being served is trying to eat
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: in the short amount of time that you have in between.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: My co-host through the years... Their biggest fault of me
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: is chewing while I'm on the air. That's so rude,
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: but I'm going to eat when I can eat.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Especially when it's free. That's it.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: And the radio law is you can have like a
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: six-minute commercial break, and the food will come out piping
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: hot and be put in front of you with five
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: seconds left before you go back to the air.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: That's what it is.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: You couldn't have dropped this right when we were going
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: to commercial and given me the full six minutes to
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: hoover it up.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: No. One of the advantages the newspaper industry had over radio, Drew.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: That's right. One of the few. That is so true.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: The worst possible timing of, wait a sec, oh, we're starting.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: You sure we don't need like a 20-minute legal ID
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: real quick to be able to let all our local
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: stations identify that song?
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: What about a long record? In music, right, you could
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: play those long songs.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: What's the longest country song back in the day that
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: you used to put on when you maybe had to
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: answer the call of nature? Oh, man.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, in the 90s, every song was probably four minutes
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: top or plus, so I remember some songs, four minutes,
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: 48 seconds, some old Tim McGraw songs, stuff like that.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: You'd be stunned at what you can get accomplished, and
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: that's like your internal clock here when you're working radio.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: You realize what literally takes you like a minute. You
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: can get a lot done in a minute. My first job,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: I worked in a building where I had to go
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: up a flight of stairs to go to the restroom,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: and that was brutal because every song in the 80s
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: was like two and a half minutes long. I knew
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: a DJ back in the day who put on a
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: long record. He could go outside for a smoke and
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: stop at the adult bookstore downstairs and.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Then go back upstairs. And take it out of the
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: plastic wrap? That's impressive stuff.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Amazing. The internet says Who Knows by Zac Brown is
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: a 10-minute song. Hey now.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Does Garth have some long songs? He did.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Hank Williams' hidden track was 42 minutes. I don't know
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: if that counts.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, Armin, who won our tickets, by the way? Congratulations
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: to Brenda in Silver Lake. There we go, Brenda. Congratulations.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Way to go, Brenda. Way to go. Brenda, congratulations. Have
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: a great time.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Enjoy that show with Luke Bryan coming up on the 26th.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Arm and Bumped In with Rain is a good thing
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: by Luke Bryan. I see there's an 80% chance of
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: showers and thunderstorms for Packers Jets on Sunday.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Does that benefit the Jets? It benefits orthopedic surgeons, maybe. Yeah.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, on that turf, the only
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: thing that could make it worse. Yeah, that's one of
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: the things. Dolph, Brewers fans are running out of things
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: to worry about.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: They won again last night. Dodgers lost. Dodgers lost.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: They're up three with ten to play, and the magic
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: number is seven for the Brewers to win, to clinch
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: the number one overall seed.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: I know the Dodgers still have to play the Padres,
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: and the Brewers have to play the Phillies, so that
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: kind of X's each other out.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I haven't looked at the rest of L.A. 's schedule.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: They probably play the Giants. They're usually in with another
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: division opponent. In the division, yeah.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: But I've just been telling people if the Brewers go 500,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: they've been 5-5, gets them to 100 games, the Dodgers
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: have to go 9-1.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: So give yourself a little peace. It's a home field
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: advantage throughout the World Series if it happens.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: It could happen. You were spot on, Dolph. They don't
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: get the Giants once. They get them twice. Oh, really?
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: On the way out.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Sandwiching around a three-game set at home against San Diego,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: which will be a fascinating one because San Diego is
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: right there in the midst of the.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Wild card race.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: And that scheduling probably seemed like a hot idea at
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: the time because the Giants preseason, people thought they were
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: going to be a lot better than they were.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: They thought they were going to be a lot better
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: than they were. San Diego's up four in the loss
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: column on Arizona, so they're looking pretty strong. Yeah, Diamondbacks
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: have slid down the dinosaur here the last week. They've
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: lost five of seven. They're not closing well, and the
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Padres have been hot.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: And like you said yesterday, do the Dodgers really care
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: if they're first or second when it comes to playoffs?
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: No, not really.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: I think they're pretty confident in themselves once October rolls around.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: I think they're pretty happy with where they're at, yeah.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: No, the Snell injury that Armand definitely didn't celebrate earlier
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: on here today at all. Definitely didn't celebrate earlier on
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: today at all. I think it was the biggest part
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: of their problems.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I just saw that he did have some tightness.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: Hey, be careful what you wish for. I bet you said, hmm,
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: once Kyler Murray went down on Sunday, didn't you? hmm, well,
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: this could play to our advantage.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Didn't you? Didn't you? I said a different four-letter word.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: You know what? I actually thought Carson Wentz, oh, gosh,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: he's done it in the past. Exactly.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: I'm not trying to be revisionist history on this. I
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: really did think, like, I thought the Packers were going
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: to win either way.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. I did, too. And they didn't.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: That was what I thought to myself. What are we
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: doing wrong? Let's not worry about it. What are we doing, guys?
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Let's look in the mirror. That's what I said to myself.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Look in the mirror. Good stuff, as always. Dolph, thanks
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: for popping in. Appreciate it. You're welcome to come join
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: us at Pato if you're not doing anything tonight. Good
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: night to do so. Maybe I'll stop by after my
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: nine holes of golf that I'm playing today. Oh, there
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: you go. Oh, that's a good... It's getting dark so early.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: You guys got to tee off at like 4, right? Yeah,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: exactly right. Solid 10th hole right there. All right. Solid, solid.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: We, moving forward, we're going to talk to Hunter Baumgart
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: coming up at 725 live from Pittsburgh.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Oh, yeah. Drew, Billy,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: and Armand bringing it to you.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: This portion of the program brought to you in part
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: by Iron Jock.

  Speaker 1: Check them out. Iron Jock. Code HUDDLE. 35% off everything
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: in your cart. IronJOC.com. HUDDLE.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: 35.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: 35% off everything. Stock up for the fall. So I've
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: been deciding what socks to stock up on. I'm definitely
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: more of a no-show sock guy. But into the winter,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: the low-cut sock gives you at least a little bit
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: less scratchiness with the pants. So I might as well
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: just get a pack of each and figure out which
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: ones I like better. But 35% off makes it a
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: little easier to do them. But I do like the
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: crew sock. Even when it is cold and you need
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: a sock up to your calf, cover the calf.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Then you can wear these multiple days in a row.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Especially if you're going on a trip like Hunter, if
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: he brought a pair of iron, it's the only socks
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: you need.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Yep. And Drew, I am a recycling sock guy.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: I'm not necessarily the, uh, the old underwear trick where
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: you go in one day inside out and all of
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: a sudden, you know, maybe backwards to see if you
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: can get another day out of it. But socks, I'll
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: definitely recycle, especially when they don't stink. Cause boy, these 15s,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, these mammoths as my friends used to call
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: it once in a while, they start smelling.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: That's right. Uh, Time for our Donovan Jorgensen, who's hot,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: who's not. A couple of hot ones. The 15th.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen, the best when it
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: comes to HVAC around the area. Donovan Jorgensen, heating and cooling. DonovanJorgensen.com,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: employee-owned since 1985. It's the time of.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: The year where you're not going back and forth yet,
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: but you're starting to feel that fall in the air.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: And you realize that you need to have a good
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: system that goes both ways, right?
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Indeed.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Because there are some nights if it gets real cold...
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Hopefully soon so these bees and.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Yellow jackets start dying off. I mean, they're everywhere. But
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: it's going to get cold soon.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: I was going to say that is your current frustration
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: are the yellow jackets just all over the place. But
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: now four locations for Donovan Jorgensen, New Berlin, West Allis,
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: McGowan and Goldman. Nominee Falls, new to better serve. All
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: of the surrounding areas around their fall specials, 0% financing
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: for 60 months on select systems going on right now.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: How about a hot category from yesterday's proceedings in Cincinnati?
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Homer for Ellie De La Cruz as he had a.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: No, he didn't necessarily have as good of a night
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: as the soon-to-be-named NL Rookie of the Year Sal Stewart did.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Three-hit night and another RBI for the young man not
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: only leading the balloting, I would assume, Drew, for Rookie
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: of the Year, but he's been taken over by Alec Burleson.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: He's leading the charge for runs batted in second in
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: the National League is Sal Stewart with 108 of those
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: things driven in in baseball. That is a heck of
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: a number. PCA went yard last night in a Cubs
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: victory at the old ballpark.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: So did Alex Bregman. They won 8-4.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: PCA actually homered twice, taking that total now to 44
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: in his quest for his first.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: MVP season. He's had a crazy year. I mean, he's
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: going to win it. He deserves it. I mean, there's
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: no question about it. Not category.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: We mentioned it. Blake Snell had to leave due to
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: some groin tightness. Dodgers lost, as I mentioned, 6-2 to
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: the Reds. But they also then had to burn through
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: a number of cats into their bullpen, ultimately ending it
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: with Chris Bubich, who came over at the deadline from
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: the Royals. And also in the not category, one final time,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: The New York Yankees, albeit they've been very, very good.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: They lost last night in 13 innings to the Twinkies.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Looked like Anthony Volpe was going to ultimately vault them
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: into a victory into the ninth inning. action in the 10th,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: in the 11th, and ultimately, Victor Caratini, former Brewer, gets
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: the walk-off in the 13th. So you can put him
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: in the hot category. Not definitely the Chicago White Sox.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: They're sliding down the back of the dinosaur here. They've
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: lost 3-4. They lost 2-3 to the Guardians. And now
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Drew have lost control. of the lead in the AL central,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: which they've led for. I mean, pretty much damn near
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: the entire season.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: They've been in control of that division all year. Guardians
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: trying to do exactly what they did last year. Snatch
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: it back at the end of the season. They are
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: now a half game up on Chicago. Don't worry. Sox fans.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: They currently still have a one game lead in the
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: wild card. So the full tragic number drew might not
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: come to fruition this but it very much might as
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: they're now 77 and 75.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Guardians are that rarity of rarities.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: They are a team leading a division with 10 games
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: left in the season and a minus seven run differential.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: And as much as, and rightfully so, we celebrate Murph
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: and he's won back-to-back managers of the year. So has
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Steven Vogt. Steven Vogt got hired at the same time
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: that Murph did. And actually Vogt was becoming the biggest
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: issue for me when the council conversation was flaring up
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: because it felt like You were going to lose out
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: on Steven Vogt if you also lost out on Craig Council.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Good point, yeah.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Because Vogt was going to be a big league manager.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: You could tell when he was a player. You could
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: tell when he was here. And he has been a
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: phenomenal one there in Cleveland.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: They are still even in the loss column, but no
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: game 163 anymore, if you remember.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: How much better is the National League this year? Well,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay has the best record in the American League,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: 92 wins. Very respectable. Plus 71 round differential. Guardians minus
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: 7 there in first place. The Astros, who are at
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: 500 at 76-76, leading the West.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: They're minus 54. Wow. And they fired their GMR.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Conversely, the division leaders in the National League, the Brewers,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: plus 200, which is stunning. A little striking difference. The
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Dodgers plus 173 and the Braves plus 111.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: 87 twins, only team to win the World Series with
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: a negative run difference.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Cubs also plus 143. Like the first four teams are just,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: it's incredible.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Hunter's going to join us live from Pittsburgh. Come out
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: of at 725. You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
