0:00
Speaker 1: Huddled up on a Friday. It's a foggy Friday in
0:03
Speaker 1: the good Land. True Olson, Bill Schmid, Dave Gasper's in
0:06
Speaker 1: for Armansarian today. Thank you for waking up early with us.

0:15
Speaker 1: who's up early. We're your morning cup of coffee and listen,
0:19
Speaker 1: and a good one too at that. It's a lot
0:22
Speaker 1: of caffeine in this one, that's right. We are live
0:24
Speaker 1: on nine twenty in Milwaukee, ten seventy and Madison. The
0:26
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app is everywhere and YouTube, Facebook and X For
0:30
Speaker 1: the stream. You can reach us on the nicolay Lo
0:32
Speaker 1: dot com. Talking to text nine four one four seven
0:34
Speaker 1: nine nine one ninety seven to three gets you in. So, yeah,
0:39
Speaker 1: we were just talking about the Diana Russini thing, and
0:42
Speaker 1: I know people are sick of it. What do you
0:43
Speaker 1: give an oxygen to that for? Because it's still getting
0:45
Speaker 1: churn well, and I mean there's different people's tentacles of it. Yeah,
0:49
Speaker 1: there's tentacles of it. There was a young lady that
0:52
Speaker 1: was actually relieved of her duties with the USA today
0:56
Speaker 1: because of what she had said something about it and
0:58
Speaker 1: talking about how said men in sports back a number
1:01
Speaker 1: of years with the situation, and then they're like, these
1:04
Speaker 1: do not reflect the beliefs of the employer here at
1:07
Speaker 1: USA today. And it's just it's such a sticky conversation. However,
1:13
Speaker 1: that's the overriding sentiment for me that the people most affected,
1:18
Speaker 1: the two young boys that are gonna have to read
1:20
Speaker 1: about this story and you know, five or ten years
1:22
Speaker 1: on the internet not gonna go away. Diana Rossini's two
1:25
Speaker 1: young sons, as well as you know women in journalism
1:29
Speaker 1: that are doing this the right way that have still
1:32
Speaker 1: and will always have to go through different levels of
1:37
Speaker 1: questioning than us. And like again, Jake Lazer goes and
1:41
Speaker 1: hangs out with the head coaches at the pool.
1:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jake Lazer works out with players and trains them.
1:48
Speaker 2: You could say that.
1:50
Speaker 1: It is absolutely and but like it's it's all. It
1:54
Speaker 1: all changes when you just lie about it, right, Like
1:59
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I they's always gone back to
2:01
Speaker 1: that part of it. And like at the end of
2:03
Speaker 1: the day, if they would have come out and said,
2:06
Speaker 1: in the beginning of this whole thing, what sees what
2:09
Speaker 1: you get? All right, it happened. It's a private matter,
2:12
Speaker 1: private matter, it happened, and then move on. But you
2:16
Speaker 1: start lying, you start getting caught up in things, and Drew,
2:19
Speaker 1: the easiest thing to do is be yourself.
2:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much.
2:23
Speaker 1: I mean it's like it's about the easiest thing you
2:24
Speaker 1: can do in the world because you're never gonna caught
2:27
Speaker 1: get caught being someone else if you're just being who
2:29
Speaker 1: you are.
2:29
Speaker 3: It's a again the truth.
2:31
Speaker 1: This will someday be a case study in PR classes
2:34
Speaker 1: in crisis PR because I don't know if AI can
2:36
Speaker 1: can craft good PR or not. But to go out
2:39
Speaker 1: and plant a false story that's easily disapproval, even though
2:42
Speaker 1: that's kind of like it was a girl's trip. There
2:43
Speaker 1: are six other people there. Where are they? Where are
2:46
Speaker 1: the pictures?
2:46
Speaker 2: We talked to one of them?
2:47
Speaker 3: Can't Can any of them come forward and vouch?
2:49
Speaker 1: No one did?
2:50
Speaker 2: Yeah? None?
2:51
Speaker 1: Uh well they were you know what, Drew. The other
2:54
Speaker 1: six people were also in their two person but yeah,
2:56
Speaker 1: there you go. So and so the story crumbled there.
3:00
Speaker 1: The cover up often worse than the crime. But her
3:03
Speaker 1: resigning makes you wonder, as was there other stuff coming?
3:06
Speaker 1: And then there's the whole thing about that. ESPN's like
3:10
Speaker 1: kind of lack of interest in this story is glaring
3:12
Speaker 1: because ESPN now is is the NFL oh yeah, one percent,
3:16
Speaker 1: And this doesn't this isn't a favorable story for the
3:18
Speaker 1: NFL and for the whole media industrial complex that ESPN
3:21
Speaker 1: is such a big part of. Again, like this is everything.
3:25
Speaker 1: A lot of the stuff with these insiders and a
3:27
Speaker 1: lot of stuff. There's a lot of transactional stuff that
3:29
Speaker 1: goes on. And I I just told a story about
3:31
Speaker 1: a player, offer and give me gifts because he liked
3:33
Speaker 1: the story I wrote, and I said no, because you're
3:35
Speaker 1: gonna hate me tomorrow. It's okay, Like that's not the
3:37
Speaker 1: way this works. But when it comes to these insiders,
3:39
Speaker 1: there are some guys who are accused of being on
3:42
Speaker 1: a certain agent's payroll, and they get the scoops about
3:47
Speaker 1: the agent's players, and they get the first DIBs on
3:49
Speaker 1: stories and stuff like that, and a lot of people
3:53
Speaker 1: in the industry might say they raise an eyebrown, go
3:55
Speaker 1: oh you know, of course you Oh that's signed David Mullet. Shocking,
4:00
Speaker 1: so signed Scott Boris you you go to his house
4:04
Speaker 1: for his Christmas party, You're you're you're basically on his
4:07
Speaker 1: payrol and that gets murky. But with the sex thing,
4:11
Speaker 1: I don't even know how married couples work together. I
4:13
Speaker 1: don't know how married couples play golf together. I tip
4:16
Speaker 1: my cap to anybody who can do that. Well.
4:18
Speaker 3: I always said, like your little separation.
4:20
Speaker 1: I don't play much golf, but when I did, it
4:22
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want my wife out here seeing
4:24
Speaker 1: me throwing clubs and swearing and getting pissed and that tension.
4:27
Speaker 1: And I do it to get away for five hours.
4:30
Speaker 1: So people who work with their wives day to day,
4:35
Speaker 1: it's like every again you do you.
4:37
Speaker 2: Worked to dude.
4:39
Speaker 1: I mean, you see that in family businesses. That's why
4:42
Speaker 1: it's so important, was why we enjoy being able to
4:45
Speaker 1: celebrate those guys. You're around people for so long, things
4:47
Speaker 1: will end up changing up. The The other part of
4:50
Speaker 1: when this will change and when if there is more
4:54
Speaker 1: to it, is when Rabel talks and like that's that
4:56
Speaker 1: to me is the fascinating part. From a football side
4:59
Speaker 1: of it. The team that was in the Super Bowl
5:01
Speaker 1: a year ago is walking a week in a week
5:04
Speaker 1: away from the NFL Draft and their head coach who
5:07
Speaker 1: was the greatest thing since slice spread three months ago.
5:10
Speaker 1: I mean everybody was talking about how on earth did
5:13
Speaker 1: they not hire Mike Frabel?
5:14
Speaker 2: How did they not hire Mike Frabel?
5:15
Speaker 1: Of course he was gonna go to the Patriots, and
5:17
Speaker 1: now they're just gonna go pick up where they left
5:19
Speaker 1: off with Bill Belichick and win a bunch of Super Bowls. Okay, well,
5:23
Speaker 1: now three months later, that name's a little bit different.
5:25
Speaker 1: So that part of it, to me, is fascinating going
5:28
Speaker 1: into the draft. I don't know that he's gonna have
5:31
Speaker 1: to apologize to players. I don't know that he's gonna
5:33
Speaker 1: have to set the record straight all individual cases. Guess what,
5:36
Speaker 1: there might be one player on that team that has
5:38
Speaker 1: a serious problem with it, And as long as he's
5:41
Speaker 1: gonna be playing, he's not gonna have the biggest problem
5:44
Speaker 1: with Did Robert Kraft apologize to the locker room after
5:46
Speaker 1: his orchids of Asia days by arrest? No? But I
5:49
Speaker 1: think it's different when you're signing the checks and then
5:51
Speaker 1: you're like the guy that's taken the like getting the orders.
5:54
Speaker 1: But I get what you're saying, But can you envision
5:57
Speaker 1: a scenario under which Robert Craft would be so turned
5:59
Speaker 1: off by that he would fire Mic Rabel? Hell?
6:01
Speaker 2: No, not at all. No, not a chance.
6:03
Speaker 1: He's just saying, so she had to change jobs, and
6:05
Speaker 1: he skates free. But it's a different situation. It's a
6:08
Speaker 1: different circumstances totally. And again, freedom of freedom of choice,
6:12
Speaker 1: freedom of speech is not the same as freedom of consequence.
6:15
Speaker 1: There are ethical standards, folks, and I just talked about it,
6:18
Speaker 1: like if someone's covering city hall and they're having a
6:20
Speaker 1: relationship with someone who like the mayor or somebody like
6:23
Speaker 1: that compromises their coverage. It calls into question even if
6:27
Speaker 1: they're playing it straight, even if they're doing the job
6:29
Speaker 1: and calling people out, it's still compromises. Like the appearance
6:32
Speaker 1: of impropriety shades everything. And now the athletic they didn't
6:36
Speaker 1: fire because she resigned, but they would have had to
6:38
Speaker 1: fire her, yeah orfin and it wouldn't have been like
6:41
Speaker 1: a hey, she's just not going to be renewed here
6:43
Speaker 1: on June thirtieth.
6:44
Speaker 2: It would have had to be more a real deal.
6:46
Speaker 2: That's what was going to happen.
6:47
Speaker 1: True, there were people on the internet that just would
6:49
Speaker 1: not were relentless on the Matt Lafleur having a drink
6:55
Speaker 1: with the beat writers Froh Packers, how dare they no wonder.
7:00
Speaker 1: They're all in the tank for him. They won't say
7:02
Speaker 1: he should That's why. That's why they're not asking questions.
7:05
Speaker 1: They're all buddy, buddy that that's a perfecta you're just
7:09
Speaker 1: you're just worried that he's not going to come and
7:10
Speaker 1: have a glass of wine with That's a perfect example
7:12
Speaker 1: because of the same some of the same people that
7:14
Speaker 1: were barking about that are telling us stop talking about this. No,
7:16
Speaker 1: it's and we're in a culture where I'm allough from everyone.
7:20
Speaker 1: Reporters weren't really superstars and they weren't seeing as gods.
7:23
Speaker 1: And I gotta say it, it creeps me out a
7:27
Speaker 1: little bit. I get it. But we go to the draft.
7:29
Speaker 1: I saw people like waiting in line to get Adam
7:31
Speaker 1: Schefter's autograph. Oh yeah, And I'm like, oh yeah really
7:36
Speaker 1: and then yeah, and it's like that's the soup that
7:39
Speaker 1: we're in now, where the media stars are stars. It's like, man, well,
7:44
Speaker 1: ESPN has definitely put the E in entertainment to the
7:46
Speaker 1: point where it's close enough to entertainment tonight. Well, and
7:50
Speaker 1: well that's the other thing, ESPN. There was a study
7:54
Speaker 1: someone just came up with. They did a breakdown. ESPN
7:57
Speaker 1: in the last week devoted more time to the WWE
7:59
Speaker 1: than they to the MLB and the NHL.
8:03
Speaker 2: Shocker, where's their money going?
8:04
Speaker 3: Shocker? Where did they invest? Where did their money go?
8:06
Speaker 1: And you can say, well, the E in ESPN stance
8:09
Speaker 1: for Entertainment, entertainment and sports Programming network. But man, they're
8:14
Speaker 1: supposed to cover sports, entertainment and sports.
8:16
Speaker 3: Uh huh. This is an old thing.
8:18
Speaker 1: But you know, again, it goes back to my early
8:22
Speaker 1: days as a cover reporter when one of my first
8:25
Speaker 1: assignments was to write that three paragraph short about the
8:27
Speaker 1: wrestling card, you know, and then the paper stopped publishing
8:31
Speaker 1: results of the events of the AWA events at the
8:35
Speaker 1: Arena Auditorium because they just decided, well, it's not a sport.
8:39
Speaker 1: It's when the outcome is predetermined and it's scripted. It's
8:41
Speaker 1: not a sport, and we're not covering it like the
8:43
Speaker 1: same way we don't cover like, you know, plays at
8:45
Speaker 1: the you know.
8:46
Speaker 3: I'm a cecal place.
8:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm excited to see though, if they put
8:49
Speaker 1: up one of those super cool p ESPN PR graphics
8:52
Speaker 1: of whatever the numbers are for for an hour on
8:56
Speaker 1: ESPN two on Saturday Night, ESPN two and ESPN Sunday,
9:01
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be trying because it's also like frutal
9:04
Speaker 1: you know, open ground.
9:06
Speaker 2: There's NBA Playoffs, which.
9:07
Speaker 1: Again that might be something you could probably talk about,
9:10
Speaker 1: might be something you can talk about other than Live Morgan.
9:12
Speaker 1: As we speak, there's a w W now and it's
9:18
Speaker 1: like they're going overboard because they're in the tank now
9:20
Speaker 1: because they're Conversely, they've shown very little interest in the
9:23
Speaker 1: Diana receding Mike label story because they are now the league.
9:28
Speaker 1: Are they gonna report stories that are negative to the league?
9:31
Speaker 1: You got to question it now, I asked it. It's
9:33
Speaker 1: gonna be a huge It's gonna be one of the
9:35
Speaker 1: most interesting things to watch in the transition here that
9:41
Speaker 1: the nerdy side on the sports media side of me
9:43
Speaker 1: is like, what.
9:43
Speaker 2: Are they gonna do with Good Morning Football?
9:45
Speaker 1: And but the real one is how are you gonna
9:47
Speaker 1: cover a situation that transpires with I mean, you mentioned
9:51
Speaker 1: Robert Robert Crafts transgressions.
9:54
Speaker 2: A few years ago.
9:55
Speaker 1: Whether it's more if it's another concussion study, or if
9:58
Speaker 1: it would be a you know, and knock on what
10:00
Speaker 1: I hope it's never another situation like when ray Rice
10:03
Speaker 1: had his situation, Like, how does that continue to get
10:06
Speaker 1: covered and what's the persistence on it?
10:09
Speaker 2: Drew Right, it's in the breakers.
10:11
Speaker 1: It's the breaking news cycle, boom okay, but are you
10:15
Speaker 1: gonna continue to cover the parts that leak out after?
10:20
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the interesting one. The other thing is
10:22
Speaker 1: they also don't own a couple of the shows, right
10:24
Speaker 1: like McAfee. They air it, but they don't own what
10:29
Speaker 1: it says. And I question how much of it they
10:32
Speaker 1: own of whatever steven a show is because mostly everything
10:36
Speaker 1: he puts up is an advertisement to go to his
10:38
Speaker 1: YouTube page or go to a serious show. So I'm
10:40
Speaker 1: fascinated to see when those things happen. Because the NFL,
10:44
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen over the next year, and we'll see
10:47
Speaker 1: how it ultimately gets covered by them. Again, I came
10:49
Speaker 1: up in the old school era, and I tell the
10:51
Speaker 1: story all the time about how I went to a
10:52
Speaker 1: Brewis game that was T shirt giveaway and I wore
10:54
Speaker 1: that shirt to work one day and the old heads
10:56
Speaker 1: made me go home and change because he couldn't wear
10:57
Speaker 1: a Bruis shirt and work for sports, he can't be
10:59
Speaker 1: a fan, right and again, that's that's kind of eroded
11:03
Speaker 1: over the years, and Bill Simmons people said it was
11:05
Speaker 1: a quaint and literally it's like you've been neutered. And
11:08
Speaker 1: I've explained people all the time that you know, Brews win,
11:10
Speaker 1: it's great for business, great for the city, but it
11:12
Speaker 1: doesn't ruin my day if they lose. And I just
11:14
Speaker 1: know it no matter what, right, And that's that's the
11:17
Speaker 1: attitude of a b right, You're like it.
11:18
Speaker 3: You got to be like a judge. You are an umpire.
11:20
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to have a vested interest in the outcome,
11:23
Speaker 1: right emotionally or otherwise. And I've I've told people the story,
11:26
Speaker 1: like everybody thinks, like, oh, you know, it must be
11:29
Speaker 1: great covering a winning team most of most of the
11:31
Speaker 1: time the beat guys that you go to the press
11:33
Speaker 1: box and ask the Dodgers guys, and or even like
11:37
Speaker 1: the Cubs, like when the Cubs won the World Series.
11:39
Speaker 1: It was great for business and it elevated the profile
11:41
Speaker 1: of the reporters covering the team in some ways. But
11:44
Speaker 1: there were some of those guys that were rooting against
11:46
Speaker 1: them because they were.
11:46
Speaker 3: Sick of it.
11:47
Speaker 1: They were burnt out, and I don't want these ass
11:49
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, forget about it. So and it's it's
11:52
Speaker 1: hard to explain to people that aren't in it. But
11:55
Speaker 1: there was a time and al Hefe is the the
11:58
Speaker 1: bridge point of this because when I met John Greenberg,
12:02
Speaker 1: we met in college. The day that we met, we
12:05
Speaker 1: had this professor Greg Hoffman who had did this corny
12:07
Speaker 1: thing where you had to rather than get up and
12:09
Speaker 1: introduce yourself and the build camaraderie in the class in
12:12
Speaker 1: the first day, he'd pair you up and you had
12:14
Speaker 1: to interview somebody, and then you had to introduced the
12:16
Speaker 1: person that you interviewed.
12:17
Speaker 3: To the class.
12:17
Speaker 1: Oh okay, interview, interview this person for ten minutes, and
12:20
Speaker 1: then you give up. You get up and give a
12:21
Speaker 1: presentation on that person, and they'll do the same for you.
12:23
Speaker 3: I got paired up with el Hafe John green good start.
12:26
Speaker 1: He was a bad boy turned pr intern with the Brewers.
12:30
Speaker 1: I was answering the phones at the JS at Journal
12:33
Speaker 1: Center at the old then it was in Milwaukee Journal
12:36
Speaker 1: and the boss Uh the day that I met John,
12:39
Speaker 1: like the day before, the boss had told me, Hey,
12:42
Speaker 1: you're doing a good job writing these high school stories
12:44
Speaker 1: that would give you. We want to make you like,
12:46
Speaker 1: we only want you to be a writer all the time,
12:48
Speaker 1: and you can get off of that shift where you
12:49
Speaker 1: have to answer the phones and do the grunt work.
12:51
Speaker 1: But you got to find somebody to replace you. And
12:53
Speaker 1: I met Greeney. I'm like, you're getting paid by the brewers.
12:56
Speaker 1: I'm like no, I'm like, I want to work at
12:57
Speaker 1: the paper. I can get you paid. I can get your.
13:00
Speaker 3: Seven bucks an hour whatever the minimum wage was at
13:02
Speaker 3: the time.
13:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. He went in kind of had the same interview.
13:06
Speaker 1: I did you want to can you type? You know
13:08
Speaker 1: what the hours are? All right, you start Monday, come
13:11
Speaker 1: in and training. So I trained him up and he
13:13
Speaker 1: was working for us, and he was the Bruce pr intern.
13:16
Speaker 1: And in those days it was a little bit looser
13:18
Speaker 1: teams reporters, Like they used to give tickets to people.
13:20
Speaker 1: They don't do that.
13:21
Speaker 2: Stuff, oh for sure.
13:22
Speaker 1: Yeah. It was like so a buddy of mine who
13:24
Speaker 1: was also at the paper, uh green he got us
13:27
Speaker 1: two tickets and we went to the game, and the
13:29
Speaker 1: boss found out that we had comp tickets the game.
13:31
Speaker 1: He called us in and lit us up and he
13:32
Speaker 1: said it was like fireable offense, Like you can't take
13:35
Speaker 1: tickets from the Brewers. I'm like, he works with us
13:38
Speaker 1: and he works for the Brewers, and like, yeah, that's
13:41
Speaker 1: we probably shouldn't have that either, because he's in here
13:44
Speaker 1: and he hears stuff and he's there and he can
13:46
Speaker 1: be And then I'm like, well, I'm looking at our
13:50
Speaker 1: sports section and on page three or on page two,
13:53
Speaker 1: the bottom of the page is a half page add
13:55
Speaker 1: from the Brewers. We're taking their advertising. He's like, that's
13:59
Speaker 1: that's different, Okay, ethics for you, not for us. That
14:06
Speaker 1: was one of those. So it's like there's these push
14:08
Speaker 1: pull things all the time. There's always going to be
14:10
Speaker 1: a line for it. It's just like and I think
14:12
Speaker 1: we're we walk it as well with the with the
14:14
Speaker 1: sports gambling uh line, they continues to roll. Just because
14:18
Speaker 1: everybody takes the cash from gambling companies doesn't mean that
14:22
Speaker 1: you can turn them blind. I too when somebody is
14:24
Speaker 1: when when eyes are going into the game, because if
14:27
Speaker 1: there's ever a possibility that that calls into question, the
14:30
Speaker 1: integrity of the game calls into question, all of that pie.
14:33
Speaker 2: Gets taken away from everybody.
14:34
Speaker 1: When the Bradley Center open and you were there as
14:36
Speaker 1: a barb boy, they had this great buffet. It was amazing.
14:39
Speaker 1: I ate there several nights a week and there was
14:42
Speaker 1: no charge. But my boss told me, like, we send
14:46
Speaker 1: the bucks a check. We send to cover your meals
14:50
Speaker 1: because you can't be taking free meals. Because people thought
14:52
Speaker 1: there was a time early on in my Beat days
14:55
Speaker 1: when if it was a bubblehead giveaway and they bring bobbleheads,
14:58
Speaker 1: everybody in the press boxes, everybody in the stadium got bibblehead.
15:00
Speaker 1: They're like, you shouldn't take that, oh, because your coverage
15:04
Speaker 1: could be compromised.
15:06
Speaker 3: Now they realized how silly that.
15:08
Speaker 1: Is, right, that's where exactly we had that, and then
15:13
Speaker 1: that kind of eroded over the years and stuff. The
15:15
Speaker 1: idea now they could stop getting heads. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
15:19
Speaker 1: And now you've got to pay for a meal at
15:20
Speaker 1: the press but the teams no longer. Well, but you
15:24
Speaker 1: know what, Drew, I don't know if these these Beat
15:26
Speaker 1: reporters up in Green Bay paid for these bunt cakes
15:28
Speaker 1: that I saw yesterday, sweet new Media workroom, Media Auditorium
15:33
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field, and there are bunt cakes sitting out there, Drew.
15:36
Speaker 1: They're Kurryan favors because they got cake yep. I don't listen.
15:40
Speaker 1: I just I want I want to hand the cake
15:43
Speaker 1: and eat it too, and eat it too.
15:46
Speaker 3: So yes, thank you, and again like you know, what
15:49
Speaker 3: does this matter?
15:50
Speaker 1: Well, everybody who bitched about Leaflour popping over at a
15:53
Speaker 1: party or Lafleura like has been on the She said
15:55
Speaker 1: to you do a pod with.
15:56
Speaker 2: Nags And.
15:58
Speaker 1: He was on with Nags and Corey Bank. And it's
16:00
Speaker 1: cool because it's like, okay, he's also then talking to
16:03
Speaker 1: the fans, and that's that's ultimately the goal of this
16:06
Speaker 1: whole thing is to be able to engender and keep
16:10
Speaker 1: interest in the league and interest in the games and
16:12
Speaker 1: and fun on the field.
16:14
Speaker 2: It's it's it's a big part of it.
16:15
Speaker 1: Tom Hardercourt and I would every spring have dinner with
16:18
Speaker 1: the late Phil Garner. We'd go in his favorite He
16:21
Speaker 1: turned us onto his favorite Mexican restaurant in uh In, Arizona,
16:25
Speaker 1: Los dos Milinos when we go there every year, and
16:27
Speaker 1: we just have a couple of pictures of sangria and
16:30
Speaker 1: some really really spicy food and just kind of chop
16:34
Speaker 1: it up. Didn't slant our coverage of it, but it
16:37
Speaker 1: was just like you can be cordial, but there is
16:39
Speaker 1: a line, see, and that's the things like those stories
16:43
Speaker 1: are not in a two person bungalow, right, like all
16:46
Speaker 1: of it. That's where like all of this is still
16:48
Speaker 1: come back to. As much as you know, you can
16:52
Speaker 1: go right, you can go and have a couple, you
16:53
Speaker 1: can have a couple of pops, you can have some tacos.
16:56
Speaker 1: Men and women can also go do that.
16:58
Speaker 2: Like's right.
16:59
Speaker 1: That doesn't but that it's not in a two person
17:01
Speaker 1: hot up. It's not pillow talk. It ends up being
17:03
Speaker 1: just a take difference right when you add in that's
17:05
Speaker 1: right fact eight seven seven seven, nine to four. Although
17:09
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe Garner would have liked to sit in
17:10
Speaker 1: the top with you guys. Maybe he wanted a hot
17:12
Speaker 1: sup with you on hot to court and he just
17:13
Speaker 1: never asked yeah, yeah, true, maybe you guys. Maybe guys
17:16
Speaker 1: could have been hot up. Heals could have been yeah,
17:23
Speaker 1: I'll be buddies.
17:24
Speaker 2: I love that.
17:25
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's so funny. When we come back,
17:29
Speaker 1: halftime has arrived at the huddle. It's the Friday edition.
17:32
Speaker 1: We're buckling up for some more storms when we come back.
17:35
Speaker 1: Scott Dolphin is going to join the party. We'll talk
17:36
Speaker 1: to him about the Brewers, the draft coming up as well.
17:40
Speaker 3: Anybody care.
17:41
Speaker 1: Like, again, Packer's not having a first round pick shouldn't
17:44
Speaker 1: be so diminished because they've been picking in the load
17:47
Speaker 1: in the in the low twenties. Anyway, there's something you
17:50
Speaker 1: put that number one next to somebody's name.
17:52
Speaker 3: That's what I want to talk about.
17:55
Speaker 1: And it's so funny too, because they don't have a
17:57
Speaker 1: first round pick for the next two years, and there
17:58
Speaker 1: were a lot of people said, let somebody all make
18:00
Speaker 1: the first round pick for Goody because he sucks in
18:02
Speaker 1: the first round. We're going to talk about that whole
18:04
Speaker 1: dynamic as we move forward. Dolph is in next.
18:07
Speaker 3: You're in the huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
18:10
Speaker 1: But on a Friday in the good Land, and Drew
18:12
Speaker 1: Billy Dave Gasper's in for arm and it's halftime of
18:14
Speaker 1: the show. We welcome Scott Dolphin from the country station
18:17
Speaker 1: down the hall. Dolph, on a scale of one to ten,
18:22
Speaker 1: how excited are you for the NFL Draft?
18:24
Speaker 3: I'm really excited. I'm always really excited, and then obviousually
18:28
Speaker 3: by the middle of you know, the third round, I'm like, okay,
18:31
Speaker 3: all right, I've had enough. They put the timer a
18:34
Speaker 3: little faster on this, Well, what is it?
18:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, So they shaved off two minutes each first round pick,
18:42
Speaker 1: so it's eight minutes that you get for the first round,
18:46
Speaker 1: seven minutes for rounds two and three, and then I
18:48
Speaker 1: believe it goes to five. So the Cowboys get less
18:50
Speaker 1: time since they have two picks, like teams with multiple
18:52
Speaker 1: picks in the first round should get less time for
18:54
Speaker 1: the second. Yeah, you should, but you know that if anything,
18:56
Speaker 1: they're going to get it extended because they got to
18:58
Speaker 1: get Jerry on camera at least three or four times.
19:00
Speaker 3: That's true.
19:01
Speaker 1: And now luckily he's not on the yacht, so we
19:03
Speaker 1: don't have to crowbar in that foothold for it. But
19:06
Speaker 1: he's got he's gotta said their first off, he's got
19:08
Speaker 1: clean off the roofs chriss and then go out and
19:10
Speaker 1: figure out what he's gonna do, because I imagine Jerry is
19:13
Speaker 1: doing the now Michael's in there and he's having himself
19:15
Speaker 1: a nice stake during the draft.
19:16
Speaker 3: Packers first pick will come a week from today.
19:19
Speaker 1: Week from today, some Iowa boys. Unless dude, he said
19:24
Speaker 1: there's a chance. Yeah, craighting up, you're saying there's a chance.
19:27
Speaker 1: That's why we're in here for the first round of
19:29
Speaker 1: the draft night, all the chaos. Yeah, there's a chance
19:31
Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney will walk into the studio this morning, bikini
19:35
Speaker 1: stud probably like that. That's how we got him in
19:38
Speaker 1: here this morning, exactly, I do. That's the only hope here.
19:42
Speaker 3: But I love that first round because of that. There's
19:44
Speaker 3: all these fireworks where you're going, what are they doing?
19:47
Speaker 1: I hate the Nerrave because people in the past let
19:49
Speaker 1: somebody else make the first pick for Goody because he
19:51
Speaker 1: sucks in the first round, to which my replies, my
19:53
Speaker 1: Stock replies, oh, you don't like Jordan Love.
19:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like Jordan Love. Not a big fan
19:57
Speaker 2: of him.
19:58
Speaker 1: I mean Jay r Alexander Darnell's avage, kway Walker. Yeah,
20:03
Speaker 1: the DeVante why it's not a bad one though, that's
20:07
Speaker 1: one that a lot of us can still scratch our
20:09
Speaker 1: heads for. But there's listen. But I think was a
20:13
Speaker 1: damn good for a very very good player, very good.
20:15
Speaker 1: By the way, you see JayR Uh talking about his
20:17
Speaker 1: mental health and everything. He shouted out the Baltimore Organization
20:22
Speaker 1: for being active with Contivers's mental health issues in Baltimore?
20:27
Speaker 3: Is that a backhanded the pack with him the best
20:29
Speaker 3: shouting out the rate thing?
20:30
Speaker 1: So it didn't seem as much like it. It just
20:32
Speaker 1: felt like they they kind of caught in the middle
20:35
Speaker 1: of it, like hey, and he basically said, that's why
20:37
Speaker 1: he's out of the game. He said, you know, but anyway,
20:40
Speaker 1: my thing about the draft is we we overinflate the
20:43
Speaker 1: importance of the first round. Sure, it's important, but to me,
20:46
Speaker 1: if you draft David Baktiari and what the fourth m
20:50
Speaker 1: that's a good draft. He's the first round player. You
20:52
Speaker 1: can get first round equivalents, right, Christian and the Packers
20:56
Speaker 1: have a string of second round picks who have been
20:57
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, a lot of times you get Jon
21:00
Speaker 1: Watson your second round pick, you get notoriety for the
21:03
Speaker 1: first round, you get paid for the second and third round,
21:06
Speaker 1: and you build winners in the third or the fourth
21:08
Speaker 1: through seventh round. To me, it's like if you let's
21:10
Speaker 1: say you get seven picks, usually Goody has more. But
21:12
Speaker 1: if you get seven picks, uh, what's your paradigm? I say,
21:16
Speaker 1: like two starters, four contributors, and then maybe one guy
21:22
Speaker 1: maybe two that you signed past their rookie deal. Yeah,
21:25
Speaker 1: that's a good draft. Yeah, you got to No matter
21:26
Speaker 1: what the first round guy is, he can be the
21:28
Speaker 1: biggest bust ever if the other guys come through. If
21:30
Speaker 1: you sign two guys the second contracts, that's a winner. Yeah,
21:33
Speaker 1: right like that. That means that you got two bona
21:35
Speaker 1: fide core pieces.
21:35
Speaker 3: You know a lot of those guys are going to
21:36
Speaker 3: be special teamers, and some of them, there's always a couple,
21:39
Speaker 3: especially late late round picks on Saturday, that just aren't
21:42
Speaker 3: going to pan out. They might for somebody else, they
21:44
Speaker 3: might catch on to a couple of practice squads, but
21:47
Speaker 3: you draft them, chances are averages are they're not gonna pan.
21:50
Speaker 1: Out and in some way, and I'm I'm always fixated
21:53
Speaker 1: on this this time of year. The AJ Hawk thing.
21:56
Speaker 1: Like if AJ Hawk had been a third round pick,
21:58
Speaker 1: people would love him. But there are still some people
22:00
Speaker 1: who denigrate his contributions to the Packers because he was
22:03
Speaker 1: a first round pick and he didn't make the Hall
22:04
Speaker 1: of Fame, which they think at number six or whatever
22:07
Speaker 1: he was overall should make the Hall of Fame if
22:09
Speaker 1: he wasn't better than Brian or Lacker, even though he
22:11
Speaker 1: won a super Bowl and he's an ultime leading tackler
22:13
Speaker 1: and he showed up and he took pay cuts and
22:15
Speaker 1: he was a solid dude, but people like because of
22:17
Speaker 1: the expectations that came with the first pick. So in
22:19
Speaker 1: some ways it's better that they let them all. Like
22:22
Speaker 1: what if they didn't have numbers attached to him, It's
22:24
Speaker 1: like and they did it in secret, and here's our
22:26
Speaker 1: seven guy.
22:27
Speaker 2: Then people would have been fired up that they took
22:28
Speaker 2: Ovin Williams in the first round and they got him.
22:30
Speaker 3: Talk amongst yourself, guess who was number one? Who was
22:33
Speaker 3: number seven? Because we don't like to label them, why
22:35
Speaker 3: would you, guys?
22:36
Speaker 1: But it is what it is. I get it, and
22:38
Speaker 1: it's it's gotten worse. But this whole thing now, as
22:40
Speaker 1: a Bears fan, what are you looking for from that
22:43
Speaker 1: team in the draft? Because we know where the Packers
22:45
Speaker 1: holes are, but what are the some serious holes too? Now,
22:49
Speaker 1: say they've had some attrition, they have injuries to camouflage,
22:51
Speaker 1: they're gonna have guys, you know.
22:53
Speaker 3: Now they claim to have addressed the offensive line. You know,
22:58
Speaker 3: after Drew Dlmand suddenly doctingly retires, they went out and
23:02
Speaker 3: got the center for the Patriots who was with the
23:03
Speaker 3: Vikings a lunch time. But I think both sides of
23:06
Speaker 3: the ball. Bears really need help with their pass rush.
23:09
Speaker 3: On the defensive side of the ball. You know, they
23:11
Speaker 3: didn't make any splash moves in the offseason, so you
23:14
Speaker 3: got to get Montes. What a bookend. On the other side,
23:18
Speaker 3: they got some good young players, but that's I would
23:20
Speaker 3: think first and foremost, they're probably going to go get
23:22
Speaker 3: an edge rusher with their first round pick.
23:24
Speaker 1: Well, and I mean, the thing for them is they're
23:27
Speaker 1: kind of set at some of the most important positions, right,
23:29
Speaker 1: like at the skill positions, wide receiver, they're they're pretty plentiful.
23:33
Speaker 2: Even though they got rid of DJ Moore.
23:35
Speaker 1: Right they're using the first round pick of Roma Dunze
23:38
Speaker 1: in second round pick from Burden a year ago.
23:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, and lovely, here you go. Here are the keys.
23:43
Speaker 3: I think Burn's going to be a superstar in this league.
23:45
Speaker 3: Just watching him as a rookie and some of the
23:48
Speaker 3: moves he made in his speed, it's like, oh my god,
23:50
Speaker 3: this kid is he can fly, he's crafty, he's smart kids,
23:53
Speaker 3: So I think he's probably going to be the number
23:55
Speaker 3: one there brought. Roma Dunze was kind of disappointing last year,
23:58
Speaker 3: I mean some of us because it so he's got
24:00
Speaker 3: to step up. You got Colston Lovelin, who I think
24:03
Speaker 3: is also going to be a multi time All Pro
24:05
Speaker 3: before it's all said and done.
24:06
Speaker 1: So you got like with the Packers the second round,
24:08
Speaker 1: Jayden Reed, Ja Watson, Christian Watson, Tuckercraft third rounder that
24:13
Speaker 1: broke the string of third round picks that were just
24:15
Speaker 1: horrendic third repick.
24:17
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is like this, they look at it
24:18
Speaker 3: in totality.
24:20
Speaker 1: I put Evan Williams in there as a fourth rounder
24:22
Speaker 1: as well a couple of years ago, because he's a
24:23
Speaker 1: core player going forward.
24:25
Speaker 3: He's he's a definite time beyond the room. Well, the
24:28
Speaker 3: big wrap on the Packers is always been why aren't
24:29
Speaker 3: you taking a receiver, you know, in the first round. Well,
24:32
Speaker 3: they did pretty good with second round picks.
24:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean and they wanted to take Christian
24:37
Speaker 1: Watson in the first round, but the Vikings wouldn't trade
24:40
Speaker 1: that thirty second pick. They'll trade the thirty fourth, but
24:42
Speaker 1: they'll trade that thirty fourth. History, there wasn't it. Jordan Nelson,
24:45
Speaker 1: Randall Cup, James Jones, all Sex second rounders. Yeah, Greg
24:48
Speaker 1: Jennings second rounder and Jones a fourth rounder, but still
24:52
Speaker 1: ultimately Super Bowl champion. Big reason why he ended up winning.
24:54
Speaker 1: That was because of what they were doing. Devonte was
24:56
Speaker 1: the second rounder, wasn't he? Devonte was second? Yeah, and
24:59
Speaker 1: it you start wondering how the draft starts getting impacted
25:03
Speaker 1: more and more by the nil kids, right, and the
25:07
Speaker 1: moveability of players, how much they've they've seen in college football,
25:12
Speaker 1: how much of pros they've been in college football. Because
25:14
Speaker 1: you could say that you're somewhat pro ready when you
25:17
Speaker 1: come out, there's also a negative side of that, where
25:19
Speaker 1: you're like that potential might be uh fully tapped, or
25:23
Speaker 1: you've moved around so much that you haven't been able
25:25
Speaker 1: to fully develop, and we think that we're gonna pull
25:27
Speaker 1: a ton out of you that nobody else was able
25:30
Speaker 1: to in like seven months that you were only playing
25:31
Speaker 1: there in college football.
25:32
Speaker 2: That's a great point.
25:33
Speaker 3: I don't think it's as much in football as it
25:35
Speaker 3: is in basketball, obviously because they have much lesser chance
25:38
Speaker 3: of making the lead because of the international players coming over.
25:41
Speaker 3: But in football, if you can make a couple mil
25:44
Speaker 3: or more now to stay on campus, although you could
25:47
Speaker 3: probably still make more with your if you're a high
25:49
Speaker 3: pick with bonus money going to the nf Yeah.
25:51
Speaker 1: If you're a high pick, you can if you're in
25:53
Speaker 1: like the first round. I don't know anybody paying full
25:56
Speaker 1: like first round slot money for players other than what
26:00
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith likes.
26:02
Speaker 2: There's a couple of guys that I know are making that.
26:05
Speaker 1: What's minimum now minimum for the first round if you're
26:08
Speaker 1: like one of the top five picks. I still think
26:09
Speaker 1: it's not I mean, in general, let's say your mid
26:12
Speaker 1: round pick minimum salary is point two maybe, so it
26:16
Speaker 1: is it over a million dollars now? I believe it's
26:18
Speaker 1: over a million? Yeah. And now once you get once
26:20
Speaker 1: you get lower in and you're kind of non guaranteed
26:23
Speaker 1: in like six seventh round, it might be a little different.
26:25
Speaker 3: It's like eight eighty five for rookies, okay, you know,
26:27
Speaker 3: and then you're gonna get bonus money on top of that.
26:29
Speaker 1: That's interesting for if you have for veterans, it's one
26:32
Speaker 1: point three is the Okay, that's it. One point three
26:34
Speaker 1: is the yeah.
26:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, to eighty for minimum.
26:38
Speaker 2: Well, then I'll tell you this, there's a lot of
26:39
Speaker 2: people making that in college.
26:41
Speaker 1: You can get a nice house in Green Bay for that.
26:44
Speaker 1: You can feed everybody, Yeah, you can. You can feed
26:46
Speaker 1: the family with that in in Green Bay. That's no
26:49
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Now, maybe not in Vegas, right, Like
26:51
Speaker 1: there's certain places that might not go as far. And
26:54
Speaker 1: maybe that's why, like Xavier McKinney said, I lived in
26:56
Speaker 1: New York when I was young. Now maybe I'm starting
26:59
Speaker 1: to be a little more. I want to focus on
27:01
Speaker 1: ball in my bank account. Maybe I'll go Green Bay.
27:03
Speaker 1: We'll cost a living. So we were talking about the draft,
27:06
Speaker 1: and we've got to tell people about our coverage because
27:08
Speaker 1: Billy and our pal, the Voice of the Packers, Wayne Larvy,
27:11
Speaker 1: is gonna be teaming up. By the way, Happy birthday,
27:13
Speaker 1: Wayne Larvy. Yeah, Wayne's birthday today. Let's go Voice of
27:17
Speaker 1: the Packers, Wayne Larry Packers. Wayne Larvy is gonna be
27:20
Speaker 1: teaming up with Billy for our coverage. Now, in the
27:22
Speaker 1: event of an admiral's conflict, it'll be on social media, yeah,
27:26
Speaker 1: which would be you can be the second screen, which
27:29
Speaker 1: is honestly one of the best ways to enjoy the
27:32
Speaker 1: coverage we've had. We've had the Wayne can before. We're
27:34

27:54
Speaker 1: gonna be with you for five hours, eleven to four
27:56

28:08
Speaker 1: our sponsors Potato Sports Book, So listen, doal. I might
28:12
Speaker 1: be catering, but if they're bringing in parlays that are winning, yeah,
28:15
Speaker 1: that's all that matters, all right, as long as we're
28:18
Speaker 1: winning there and we're betting above the rest the pot
28:20

28:31
Speaker 3: can't describe that video wall to people that have not
28:35
Speaker 3: seen it, well, you can try I've shown it to
28:37
Speaker 3: people just on my phone. Look this is but when
28:40
Speaker 3: you go there, your mouth just drops open for the
28:42
Speaker 3: first five minutes you're outside.
28:43
Speaker 1: Of the circa sports book. It's like as good as
28:46
Speaker 1: there is, as good as there is. And people laugh
28:49
Speaker 1: when when I say it. I'm like, it is if
28:51
Speaker 1: you thought that there was going to be any corners cut.
28:56
Speaker 1: Don't go to the Potawatame sports Book because you will
28:58
Speaker 1: then start seeing the owners being cut on everything else
29:01
Speaker 1: that you go in frequent because they have spared no
29:04
Speaker 1: expense in that place.
29:05
Speaker 2: It is sublime.
29:06
Speaker 1: I was just in there obviously yesterday watching the end
29:08
Speaker 1: of the Brewers game, and they're a good, good swath
29:11
Speaker 1: of people hanging out. They're like, you know what, We're
29:13
Speaker 1: not going to go to the game. We're just gonna
29:15
Speaker 1: sit here and drink beer and have a ten dollars
29:17
Speaker 1: broaden beer deal that they have done.
29:19
Speaker 3: I haven't asked your opinion since the governor signed the
29:21
Speaker 3: deal where we can have a sports betting in our
29:23
Speaker 3: pocket in Wisconsin. Now it's a trip.
29:25
Speaker 1: Man.
29:25
Speaker 2: When I go home to Iowa.
29:27
Speaker 3: As soon as you cross that Wisconsin Iowa bridge into debut,
29:30
Speaker 3: it just pops right up there and you can do
29:32
Speaker 3: whatever you want.
29:32
Speaker 1: Seconds are crazy how they know?
29:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, with GPH knows where you are.
29:38
Speaker 1: They know.
29:38
Speaker 3: Al hey, here's your notification. You want to put a
29:41
Speaker 3: bed in, We'll.
29:41
Speaker 1: Get you a profit boost. It's gonna be awesome to
29:45
Speaker 1: be able to have the ability to do it from wherever.
29:48
Speaker 1: But also U like some of the things I've been
29:52
Speaker 1: privy to seeing some of the trial balloons and the
29:55
Speaker 1: little test subjects, especially what we might be able to
29:57
Speaker 1: help out with here on the huddle, and like things
29:59
Speaker 1: that you might be able to see content straight to
30:01
Speaker 1: the app. It's gonna be pretty pretty amazing for all
30:05
Speaker 1: of the different things, not only just looking at the
30:07
Speaker 1: best that you can place, but what other people are doing,
30:10
Speaker 1: your trends, how good you've been doing, how potentially down
30:13
Speaker 1: you are, how much we can start scraping our way up.
30:16
Speaker 2: It's phenomenal.
30:17
Speaker 3: It's interesting so that basically if the stick is on
30:20
Speaker 3: tribal land, the server is on tribal Yeah, okay, got it.
30:25
Speaker 1: How can we I've messed it up already here, but
30:29
Speaker 1: it's throughout the country. Uh. And as long as the
30:32
Speaker 1: server is similarly to in Florida, UH, the only difference
30:36
Speaker 1: with this one in Florida is the operator is not
30:39
Speaker 1: a different entity like they have hard rock licensed out. Okay,
30:43
Speaker 1: here it'll be all the tribes will have the opportunity.
30:45
Speaker 2: To produce their own one. That is right.
30:47
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to it.
30:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're more excited about the NFL Draft than
30:50
Speaker 1: you are the ww WrestleMania weekend.
30:53
Speaker 2: I gotta feeling Dolph. Yeah, you know what.
30:56
Speaker 3: I am not a huge wrestling guy, but I am
30:58
Speaker 3: fascinated by what you see on on cable, the what
31:03
Speaker 3: is it dark side of the ring if you watch
31:05
Speaker 3: these shows, or from Beyond the Terror from the Territories,
31:09
Speaker 3: these old school stuff, yeah guys, and it's amazing how
31:13
Speaker 3: these most of them died young. It's kind of sad
31:16
Speaker 3: what they put their bodies through for the w w
31:18
Speaker 3: E and w c W over the years and then
31:20
Speaker 3: they just don't live on. But I'm fascinated by the stories.
31:23
Speaker 1: My favorite wrestling offshoot is the Andy Kaufman saga.
31:26
Speaker 3: Yeah he did, and they cover that in depth. And
31:30
Speaker 3: Beyond the Territories with Waller and that Mid South wrestling
31:33
Speaker 3: down in Memphis that was unbelievable, show up in like
31:35
Speaker 3: long underwear the wrestle women and was he the intersexual champion?
31:43
Speaker 1: Intersexual intersexual Champion. He's wrestling women. And then when Lawler
31:47
Speaker 1: smacked him on the Letterman show.
31:49
Speaker 3: He hit him hard and knocked him off his chair
31:52
Speaker 3: and Letterman thought it was real. He got up and
31:54
Speaker 3: left the studio. It was nuts and it was all yeah,
31:56
Speaker 3: it was all best end yea Lady Coffin's funeral.
32:02
Speaker 1: And Jerry Lawler gets people all the time that way
32:05
Speaker 1: because they're very, very good at not knowing whether it's
32:08
Speaker 1: a work or not.
32:09
Speaker 3: They did a thing with him and I don't remember
32:12
Speaker 3: who the other wrestler was where they were in a
32:13
Speaker 3: feud and this dude said, I'm gonna hit you with
32:15
Speaker 3: my car, but I'll tell you just I'll tell you
32:18
Speaker 3: when to you know, I'll give you a signal to
32:20
Speaker 3: jump and jump.
32:22
Speaker 1: Yeah.
32:22
Speaker 3: Well this dude was going a lot faster than he
32:25
Speaker 3: should have been. Lawler hit the hood, hit the windshield,
32:28
Speaker 3: flew through the air. I mean, he was hurt and
32:31
Speaker 3: it was nuts, but oh he was all for it
32:33
Speaker 3: because it would look good on camera.
32:35
Speaker 1: The King was such it was so into that. I
32:37
Speaker 1: mean people thought that maybe they maybe when he had
32:40
Speaker 1: a cardiac arrest on television. They're like, wait, are we
32:42
Speaker 1: sure that this is it? Okay, No, actually it is
32:44
Speaker 1: all right. Good wrestling. Prayers up for the King and
32:47
Speaker 1: ultimately you still survived because he's King Lawler. He dominates
32:51
Speaker 1: through that stuff.
32:51
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolute. People got shot from somebody in Chicago at
32:56
Speaker 3: the old Auditorm took a shot at one of the
32:58
Speaker 3: wrestlers and hit a woman in the front row.
33:01
Speaker 1: People were really into this thing. It's still are to
33:04
Speaker 1: this day. Yeah. Much different, much different now though. I'm like,
33:07
Speaker 1: their their Netflix unreal is now like how you would
33:10
Speaker 1: consider uh, the Gulf Full Swing version? Okay? I like
33:14
Speaker 1: that right, so where it goes through all of what
33:16
Speaker 1: they do on travel and families and things like that.
33:19
Speaker 1: And I mean, frankly, it's on ESPN, So there's gonna
33:21
Speaker 1: be a lot of people that are like, wait, what
33:22
Speaker 1: is this doing on my TV? Or what's this doing
33:26
Speaker 1: on my ESPN streaming service package that we don't have.
33:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubts. It's going to be quite the weekend.
33:31
Speaker 3: And today you batten down the hatches for another round
33:34
Speaker 3: of storm.
33:34
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
33:34
Speaker 3: They said we could get another couple inches of rain.
33:36
Speaker 3: We don't need it. We don't we flood were saturated.
33:39
Speaker 3: I was gonna drive out the Iowa this afternoon. I
33:41
Speaker 3: might reconsider because they show these super cells that are.
33:44
Speaker 1: Coming through, driving right into it, and it's listen, we've
33:50
Speaker 1: had this conversation. Good. I was being so good and
33:54
Speaker 1: supportive of Iowa. Other than Dolf. The best thing to
33:57
Speaker 1: come out of Iowa was I eighty just saying, hey,
34:00
Speaker 1: you mentioned out of Iowa's me returning to m.
34:04
Speaker 3: He was I think he called Hocket football. He was
34:07
Speaker 3: on KSTT in Davenport, Iowa early in his career, and uh,
34:11
Speaker 3: he still has fond memories that Billy Badgers at Kinnick
34:14
Speaker 3: this year. You got to get out there, man, gotta
34:16
Speaker 3: get there, Billy.
34:17
Speaker 2: I believe they are. Yeah, I believe that potentially Halloween night,
34:21
Speaker 2: it is Halloween. Yeah, I think it's Halloween. Think it's Halloween.
34:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta go to Tennech Stadium. He's gotta it.
34:25
Speaker 1: Depends on if he's got to thread that needle and
34:27
Speaker 1: you'd have to do the tom Oates doubleheader. And then
34:29
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that might be a tom o'ds
34:31
Speaker 1: double either back here or in Green Bay to the
34:34
Speaker 1: next day Oh yeah, it'd be tough after night.
34:36
Speaker 2: Think that would be at Kinnick Halloween.
34:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, so that's gonna be a night game,
34:40
Speaker 1: pending the that's almost guaranteed, depending the uh, the Packers schedule.
34:45
Speaker 1: Like Billy and I, our lives are on hold till
34:46
Speaker 1: the Packers.
34:47
Speaker 2: So when when do we get that? Is it next month?
34:48
Speaker 1: Yeah?
34:49
Speaker 2: Uh yeah?
34:50
Speaker 1: They said like May fourteenth, So they said either May
34:53
Speaker 1: twelfth or May fourteenth. Okay, if you don't have it
34:55
Speaker 1: settled by May twelfth, what's the difference those two freaking days.
34:59
Speaker 3: They're looking for the best day to have their TV show.
35:01
Speaker 3: We do know there's how many there's a record number
35:02
Speaker 3: of international games, that's right? Who got stuck to is it?
35:05
Speaker 3: The forty nine ers of the Rams have to play
35:07
Speaker 3: two of them?
35:07
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers and Kyle Shanahan said at the owners meeting,
35:11
Speaker 1: they requested us to go down there. You best better
35:14
Speaker 1: believe I'm requesting them to go to Mexico City with us,
35:16
Speaker 1: not because it's a competi advantage, just because I want
35:18
Speaker 1: them to have to do exactly over.
35:20
Speaker 3: Okay, So they're playing in Australia, they're playing on Mexico City,
35:23
Speaker 3: in Mexico City. Oh that's fine, that's rough man wild And.

35:29
Speaker 1: they couldn't end up playing that game.
35:30
Speaker 2: In mex See.

Speaker 1: part of our Who's Hot? Who's Hot? Well, our friend
36:25
Speaker 1: Janny had the bobber yesterday and sent us a picture.
36:28
Speaker 2: Man whoever crafted that hot design?
36:31
Speaker 1: A phenomenal, phenomenal cup right there? Maybe on the not category,
36:35
Speaker 1: she said, I had to get one fly. It was
36:37
Speaker 1: forty dollars with a tip for a double. However double
36:41
Speaker 1: on the old fashioned You're gonna feel pretty good at
36:44
Speaker 1: that particular point, but definitely gonna put Trevor McGill. I
36:48
Speaker 1: want to say in the hot category, we can't go there.
36:50
Speaker 1: He's lukewarm. We can put Aaron Ashby in there, though.
36:53
Speaker 1: I mean, my man has been on fire to start
36:56
Speaker 1: the year five and zero comes in and gets Brandon
36:59
Speaker 1: Sprote out of the situation yesterday, since he gave up
37:02
Speaker 1: two in that two and a third innings affair on
37:07
Speaker 1: Friday night against the Washington Nationals, has come in a
37:09
Speaker 1: little bit of a fireman role each time and giving
37:12
Speaker 1: up a clean frame for the crew, and it seems
37:16
Speaker 1: like just the tale as old as time.
37:17
Speaker 2: You just throw Bryce Terrang and keep him sitting there.
37:20
Speaker 1: Once again continues that on base streak does not subside,
37:23
Speaker 1: does not go away, and maybe the best acquisition the
37:27
Speaker 1: Brewers have had through three weeks of a baseball season.
37:31
Speaker 1: Garry Sanchez coming home and coming back to American Family Field,
37:34
Speaker 1: a phenomenal deal. My man's got an eleven eighty six ops.
37:39
Speaker 1: I guess when you have five homers drew through whatever
37:42
Speaker 1: it is at eighteen games, I can imagine the slug
37:46
Speaker 1: is gonna boost that up quite a bit. But the
37:48
Speaker 1: on bass has been phenomenal for Sanchez as well, and
37:51
Speaker 1: he's going to be playing a ton taking so many
37:54
Speaker 1: of these dh at bats from Yelich. It is a welcomed,
37:59
Speaker 1: welcome site that they have him in the fold this year,
38:02
Speaker 1: unlike last for this you know six weeks that or
38:05
Speaker 1: more that you might be without Christian Yelich, should we
38:07
Speaker 1: say Greg gardis Hutt got the contract extension, got his
38:10
Speaker 1: first portal edition there, we got Gray Autrey from George
38:12
Speaker 1: Washington joining the Badgers according to numerous reports. Yeah, and
38:16
Speaker 1: I watched a ton of George Washington basketball, so now
38:19
Speaker 1: I know all of Trey's exploits. But I'm guessing there's
38:23
Speaker 1: a really good possibility he's gonna come in and be phenomenal. Right,
38:26
Speaker 1: like it just the way the way they the way.
38:28
Speaker 2: They've hit in the portal, they really have.
38:31
Speaker 1: It's it feels like you just kind of in guard
38:34
Speaker 1: we trust on that side. Who's not Mark Canna? Old
38:38
Speaker 1: friend released yesterday as he was given his release and
38:42
Speaker 1: he seeks a big league opportunity from the Texas Rangers
38:45
Speaker 1: since he was not with their big league club. Bring
38:47
Speaker 1: the question, Mark, that could be a question. Bring him
38:51
Speaker 1: you bringing Mark Canna back to the end of the fold.
38:54
Speaker 1: Can you play some first base? I guess he can. Yeah,
38:57
Speaker 1: I mean, is Ren he gonna play it first? As
38:59
Speaker 1: he figured it out? Well, they're trying, you know. I'd
39:02
Speaker 1: rather see Reneitho at first than Gary Sanchez, all due
39:04
Speaker 1: respect to Gary Sanchez. Yeah, yeah, is not going to
39:07
Speaker 1: injure a pick.
39:07
Speaker 2: You'd rather see Gary, Yes, that's very true. I'd rather
39:11
Speaker 2: see Gary Sanchez at the plate, though. Is Whren Heitho's
39:13
Speaker 2: writing an OH for twenty Yeah, yep.
39:15
Speaker 1: That's what we're We're throwing Gary Sanchez in that DH
39:18
Speaker 1: roll uh gs d H that that those four letters
39:22
Speaker 1: can just sit next to each other for the next month.
39:24
Speaker 1: By the way, the Joey O haters, I mean they're
39:27
Speaker 1: they're not hot because he bunted them to victory yesterday.
39:30
Speaker 2: Bunt them to victory. Hey, safety squeeze.
39:32
Speaker 1: As long as we can put it in forty corrective
39:35
Speaker 1: might might might be the best offense show your teas
39:39
Speaker 1: provides all year is just bunting his way through life.
39:42
Speaker 2: So let's see if that works.
39:43
Speaker 1: Let's see if the Brewers break the Uh break the Molden.
39:47
Speaker 1: They're the heaviest bunting team in all of baseball. Because
39:50
Speaker 1: it comes down to you're gonna have to play a
39:52
Speaker 1: little bit different than you have for the majority of
39:55
Speaker 1: your time under Murph because you just don't have the
39:57
Speaker 1: big boppers. Granted, you're not a power Leyden squad to
40:01
Speaker 1: begin with on paper, but when you're without four of
40:04
Speaker 1: your most productive hitters on a daily basis, you're gonna
40:08
Speaker 1: have to find.
40:08
Speaker 2: Other ways to win one more.
40:11
Speaker 1: Last Who's Hot, Connor McDavid wins another scoring title?
40:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, just unbelievable.
40:17
Speaker 1: Unbelievable player some value if you're going to the Potwuadamy
40:20
Speaker 1: Sportsbook on one of those teams to win the West.
40:22
Speaker 1: That might be a team there in the Edmonton Oilers
40:24

40:27
Speaker 1: Who's not, Last hour of the week coming up the huddle,
