- 0:10Speaker 1: If you look, you don't even have to look that hard.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Drew Wilson, Armin Sarian bringing it to you. Billy Schmid
- 0:16Speaker 1: on his way to Green Bay for the Packers' joint
- 0:17Speaker 1: practice with the Arizona Cardinals. Matt LaFleur against baby brother Mike.
- 0:23Speaker 1: They're going at it just the way they used to
- 0:25Speaker 1: go at it when they were playing Madden.
- 0:27Speaker 2: That's right.
- 0:27Speaker 3: And, you know, sometimes the best fights are brotherly fights.
- 0:30Speaker 3: So I don't expect to see any on the field today,
- 0:33Speaker 3: but you never know because that's what brothers do, right?
- 0:35Speaker 2: That's what they do. You know, so.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Um, we saw that with, uh, well, Baron Sorrell and
- 0:40Speaker 3: Matthew Golden got into a practice and they're Texas brothers.
- 0:42Speaker 1: There will be skirmishes of some kind, but I don't
- 0:45Speaker 1: know about a big.
- 0:45Speaker 2: You know, I agree.
- 0:46Speaker 3: I don't think there'd be a big brawl, but not
- 0:48Speaker 3: a rock them, sock them, bro. Well, and then, and, uh,
- 0:51Speaker 3: Matt LaFleur joked about, Hey, tag me in. The thing
- 0:53Speaker 3: about it is drew. It's understandable. My dad asked me
- 0:56Speaker 3: when the saints and the Cowboys, what does it say?
- 0:58Speaker 3: They got right in their big fight. My dad asked me,
- 1:01Speaker 3: how can these guys, you know, be doing this stuff? Like,
- 1:03Speaker 3: don't they get fine?
- 1:04Speaker 2: Shouldn't they not? I'm like, you got to realize. it's
- 1:08Speaker 2: professional football. Okay. This is a very physical, violent game.
- 1:11Speaker 3: And when you have another guy pushing you and another
- 1:13Speaker 3: guy do these things just happen.
- 1:15Speaker 2: It's a very physical game.
- 1:16Speaker 3: And so we finally get a look at the, the
- 1:20Speaker 3: you know, the Packers in a joint practice against some
- 1:22Speaker 3: other players, some other starters and their team. It's going
- 1:24Speaker 3: to be interesting to see. And I'm glad Billy's going
- 1:26Speaker 3: to be up there to deliver all of it for us.
- 1:28Speaker 3: So yeah, Drew, we're getting close third preseason game, obviously
- 1:32Speaker 3: in a couple of days, Right. And we're going to
- 1:35Speaker 3: be on to what Labor Day weekend and then on
- 1:37Speaker 3: to the season. So it's amazing how fast the summer goes,
- 1:40Speaker 3: isn't it?
- 1:40Speaker 2: It's coming.
- 1:41Speaker 3: It's crazy. And you can feel that. You talked about
- 1:43Speaker 3: the crisp in the air. It's a little chillier in
- 1:45Speaker 3: the morning when we get up now. So it's just
- 1:47Speaker 3: amazing how fast it goes. I read a stat yesterday. Well,
- 1:50Speaker 3: stat is the weather stat that.
- 1:51Speaker 2: It hadn't hit 90 all of August, which surprised me
- 1:54Speaker 2: when I heard that.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Wow.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Because it felt like a super hot July. Yesterday felt
- 1:58Speaker 2: hot to me, man. It did. It was 80. I
- 2:01Speaker 2: wanted to go take a snooze at the pool in
- 2:03Speaker 2: the afternoon.
- 2:04Speaker 1: It was too hot. I had to get in the
- 2:06Speaker 1: water because I couldn't snooze.
- 2:07Speaker 2: On the lounge chair.
- 2:08Speaker 3: You know what? It's the impact of the sun, right?
- 2:10Speaker 3: Because when the sun goes down, it cools down.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Yeah, quickly. We were at Cops last night to get
- 2:15Speaker 2: a banana split. Oh, yeah.
- 2:17Speaker 3: For banana split day of which, you know, none of
- 2:20Speaker 3: the kids working there doing a great job, by the way.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Cops is a great, great run machine there. But they
- 2:26Speaker 3: none of them seem to know it was national banana
- 2:28Speaker 3: split day.
- 2:28Speaker 2: And I said.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Well, none of you must work in radio. You think
- 2:32Speaker 3: they would try and promote that maybe and push it.
- 2:33Speaker 3: But cops doesn't have to do that. The lines out
- 2:35Speaker 3: the door in the summer, no matter what.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Drew, as you well.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Are you going to celebrate National Cherry Popsicle Day today?
- 2:41Speaker 2: See, here we go. Now, I do have some bomb
- 2:43Speaker 2: pops at home for a while. Cherry Popsicle Day. Yeah,
- 2:47Speaker 2: this is only cherry.
- 2:47Speaker 1: It's also, and social media will be alive today, it's
- 2:51Speaker 1: National Dog Day.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Well, that's every day. So everybody's going to post pictures
- 2:55Speaker 2: of their dogs. Isn't that every day for dog lovers?
- 2:57Speaker 1: In my house it is. My dog absolutely gets celebrated
- 3:00Speaker 1: every day.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Pretty cool. Yeah. National dog day.
- 3:03Speaker 3: You know, what's funny is I hadn't like Laura and
- 3:05Speaker 3: I looked at each other. I'm like, when's the last
- 3:06Speaker 3: time you actually had banana split? And neither of us
- 3:08Speaker 3: had had one in forever.
- 3:10Speaker 2: That thing.
- 3:10Speaker 1: I haven't had one since I was a kid. And
- 3:12Speaker 1: it wasn't that good because of the, the gunky, uh,
- 3:15Speaker 1: strawberry fruit.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Laura. It was very delicious. Obviously cops custard. And it's
- 3:20Speaker 3: a behemoth of a Sunday.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Okay. For $ 8. 50, what you're getting is a lot.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Did you split it or did you get your own?
- 3:25Speaker 3: We all split it. I mean, that thing is huge.
- 3:29Speaker 3: But it's a big, messy mess, let me tell you.
- 3:31Speaker 3: The goopiness of the fruit filling and all the stuff
- 3:35Speaker 3: and the bananas and the melting ice cream. But it
- 3:38Speaker 3: was an experience to get.
- 3:39Speaker 2: So it was good to see. Now, I had not
- 3:42Speaker 2: been able to do.
- 3:43Speaker 3: In my head, I'm like, should I go to every
- 3:45Speaker 3: custard shop and rank? You know, go to Leon's, go
- 3:48Speaker 3: to kids, go to Oscars and rank everybody's. I don't
- 3:51Speaker 3: think that's necessary. Necessary, not feasible. It didn't happen, but
- 3:56Speaker 3: it was a good night last night. So all of
- 3:58Speaker 3: that to remark that, yes, this is the time of
- 4:00Speaker 3: the year when the sun's setting sooner and we're feeling
- 4:04Speaker 3: that crisp fall feel a little.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Bit earlier in the air. And when the leaves start
- 4:10Speaker 2: to turn, it's football time.
- 4:11Speaker 3: So.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Reach out to us, 877-794-1973, nicolaylaw.com, talk and text line.
- 4:18Speaker 1: And Hot Take Hump Day, get us your hot takes.
- 4:21Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time talking about last night's
- 4:23Speaker 1: Brewers game because there's so much to chew on from
- 4:24Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt being removed.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Lots to talk about there. We've talked about it all
- 4:29Speaker 2: these first two hours. Yeah, exactly.
- 4:31Speaker 1: If you're just waking up, we've been talking about Brewers
- 4:33Speaker 1: losing extras. Cooper Pratt lifted after... Well, it's a combination
- 4:37Speaker 1: of things. Didn't get a bunt down and won at bat.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Then the next bat hit a pop-up to the right
- 4:41Speaker 1: field side. Did not run hard. Probably could have, should
- 4:44Speaker 1: have been on second base.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Didn't.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 4:47Speaker 1: And was removed for a pinch runner immediately. It was
- 4:50Speaker 1: a jarring thing. It was a wake-up call. Wake-up call. Now,
- 4:53Speaker 1: David Hamilton went to third base. Ortiz went to short.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Hamilton made a throwing error on the final play of
- 4:58Speaker 1: the game. The Brewers lost in 10. And a lot
- 5:03Speaker 1: of folks said, wow, see, if Cooper Pratt had been there,
- 5:05Speaker 1: they wouldn't have lost. Well... Again, I disagree with that.
- 5:09Speaker 1: And that wasn't like the play to me. It was
- 5:12Speaker 1: like as with many as with any baseball game, there's
- 5:15Speaker 1: all these moments, including the Brewers going two for 14
- 5:18Speaker 1: with runners in scoring position, striking out four times in
- 5:21Speaker 1: four at bats in the final two innings with runners
- 5:24Speaker 1: in scoring position.
- 5:25Speaker 2: That's the crux of the loss to me. Yeah. Plus,
- 5:29Speaker 2: when you score two.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Runs in a game, you don't have a very reasonable
- 5:32Speaker 1: argument that you should have won.
- 5:34Speaker 2: I agree.
- 5:34Speaker 3: And the irony of it for me was they were
- 5:37Speaker 3: very close to getting that hit from Hamilton, who everyone
- 5:40Speaker 3: seems to be kind of pointing their barbs at because
- 5:42Speaker 3: his error kind of was the final run of the game.
- 5:45Speaker 3: And therefore, a lot of people I saw more than
- 5:49Speaker 3: we expected, Drew, were going after Murph, saying that's the reason.
- 5:52Speaker 3: And to me, and we talked about it all show.
- 5:54Speaker 3: I think they missed the point. I think last night
- 5:57Speaker 3: did what they had to do in terms of Murph
- 5:58Speaker 3: handled it the way he felt he had to. The
- 6:00Speaker 3: vets handled Cooper, and Cooper handled it well in the postgame.
- 6:04Speaker 2: He did. Except for the result of the game, which
- 6:07Speaker 2: is what most people look at. That's the thing. The
- 6:09Speaker 2: people ripping Murph and like, what's the matter? What happened
- 6:12Speaker 2: to win tonight? Had the Brewers won, they'd be celebrating
- 6:18Speaker 2: the move.
- 6:18Speaker 1: So it's a results-based thing, and I don't cut into
- 6:21Speaker 1: that because you and I are about to process it.
- 6:23Speaker 3: And I also, I, I, we are, but I also
- 6:25Speaker 3: think in this case, I don't think Murph looks at
- 6:27Speaker 3: it as like by putting Hamilton in for Pratt, he's
- 6:31Speaker 3: necessarily sacrificing a win. I think he believed his team
- 6:34Speaker 3: could and should have won that anyway.
- 6:35Speaker 2: For sure. So that, that shouldn't matter. And, and he.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Hamilton almost got the hit that would have broken the
- 6:40Speaker 1: game open, but lean door made an unbelievable catch.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Well, there's a web gem.
- 6:44Speaker 3: There were plenty of, plenty of, plenty of chances for
- 6:47Speaker 3: the Brewers to score with their best bats up that
- 6:49Speaker 3: didn't come through. So yeah, there you go. Um, Drew,
- 6:53Speaker 3: so a lot of conversation in that.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Hot takes.
- 6:55Speaker 1: We talked about the hot, well, it's not even a
- 6:56Speaker 1: hot take, but that Dolly Parton was a national treasure,
- 6:59Speaker 1: beloved by virtually everybody. It's hard to find anybody saying
- 7:02Speaker 1: anything bad about her. Somebody on the text line said
- 7:04Speaker 1: she was overrated, which I think is ridiculous.
- 7:07Speaker 2: I can't believe that anyone would ever say that.
- 7:10Speaker 1: As a humanitarian and a philanthropist and a star and
- 7:13Speaker 1: a movie star.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Overrated, like what is that?
- 7:16Speaker 1: Prolific, a songwriter, wrote two of the best songs, like
- 7:18Speaker 1: two of the top 100 songs of all time on
- 7:21Speaker 1: the same day.
- 7:22Speaker 2: What's next? You're going to rip on Picasso? Yeah. Like,
- 7:25Speaker 2: what's next? Unbelievable. Well, I think Moses was overrated by
- 7:29Speaker 2: parting the sea. Like, what's next? This is Steve has one.
- 7:33Speaker 3: He said, back in Antonio Freeman's early years, he would
- 7:35Speaker 3: often drop passes early in the game. Holmgren would ream
- 7:38Speaker 3: him a bit, and then Freeman would make some amazing
- 7:40Speaker 3: catches happen in multiple games.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Pretty good memory. Freeman was a rookie in 95. Show
- 7:45Speaker 2: me a young player who doesn't go through that. Exactly.
- 7:47Speaker 2: So I think the way you handle it is important.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Devontae Adams, people wanted him out of town his first
- 7:51Speaker 2: two years. Great, great example.
- 7:53Speaker 3: He was absolutely getting it for dropping all those passes
- 7:57Speaker 3: in the second year, I think.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Christian Watson's first play as an NFL player. He dropped
- 8:00Speaker 2: a pass.
- 8:01Speaker 3: I remember people were ripping Jamar Chase as a rookie
- 8:04Speaker 3: in his preseason drops. And then he became the best
- 8:07Speaker 3: receiver in the world. So, you know, these things happen.
- 8:11Speaker 3: He said, my hot take is Hortiz and Hamilton are in.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Pratt on the bench in the playoffs. Well, I don't
- 8:18Speaker 3: know about that.
- 8:18Speaker 2: We'll see. I don't know. Ortiz has a pretty good
- 8:21Speaker 2: bat right now. You might play him at third.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 8:23Speaker 2: You have you're going to have matchups every game.
- 8:25Speaker 3: There's not going to be one lineup, as we know, Drew,
- 8:28Speaker 3: that the Brewers are going to go into every playoff
- 8:29Speaker 3: game saying, you know, this is an 82. This isn't
- 8:31Speaker 3: like we're writing the lineup out the same every day.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Let's go get them, boys. Like it's going to be.
- 8:37Speaker 3: That and the pitching matchups will be tinkered with on
- 8:40Speaker 3: a daily basis.
- 8:41Speaker 2: That's very true. That's just the way it goes. Very true.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Ryan and Muskego.
- 8:45Speaker 3: Guys, I'm good with what happened if he comes back
- 8:47Speaker 3: and rebounds. However, if he goes into a slump, then what? Well,
- 8:52Speaker 3: then you have to get out of it, I guess.
- 8:54Speaker 3: He's talking about Pratt, I'm assuming. Would that prove Murph
- 8:58Speaker 3: being right or wrong, Drew, in your eyes?
- 9:00Speaker 2: Would it?
- 9:01Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 9:01Speaker 2: I mean.
- 9:03Speaker 3: I think Pratt could go into a slump anyway. I
- 9:06Speaker 3: don't think one would necessarily cause the other. Do you
- 9:09Speaker 3: think Pratt's more likely to go into a slump now
- 9:11Speaker 3: because he's upset or something?
- 9:12Speaker 2: I don't think so. No, I don't either. I think
- 9:14Speaker 2: it's about the process. You want to talk slumps? What
- 9:16Speaker 2: do you do to get Churio out of his? That's
- 9:18Speaker 2: a slump that we're dealing with right now.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Churio's been, he's not swinging at strikes and he's not,
- 9:22Speaker 1: they're not throwing him strikes because he's swinging at everything.
- 9:24Speaker 3: And they obviously need him once the playoffs start to
- 9:27Speaker 3: be really good.
- 9:27Speaker 1: You need him in September on the stretch. Contreras went
- 9:30Speaker 1: through that where he was chasing. And now he's been
- 9:33Speaker 1: more disciplined, and he's starting to get the results.
- 9:34Speaker 2: Had a nice night last night. Yellich had the RBI double.
- 9:37Speaker 3: So, I mean, it's the ebbs and flows of this,
- 9:40Speaker 3: as you know, with the lineup of guys that you
- 9:42Speaker 3: believe are talented but aren't necessarily going to necessarily give
- 9:44Speaker 3: you the result you want every moment.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Can't be perfect.
- 9:47Speaker 3: No.
- 9:47Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Yeah, so keep those coming.
- 9:51Speaker 2: 877-794-1973.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Time for a little Who's Hot Who's Not brought to
- 9:53Speaker 1: us by Donovan Jorgensen Heating and Cooling. Check them out.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Trusted HVAC repair, installation, and maintenance experts. since 1985. If
- 10:03Speaker 1: your furnace needs a tune-up, if it was on its
- 10:05Speaker 1: last legs, get it looked at. Might be a good
- 10:08Speaker 1: time to set up the air conditioning for next year.
- 10:10Speaker 1: If you need a thermostat, a boiler, if you need
- 10:13Speaker 1: duct cleaning, whatever you need, Donovan Jorgensen's the place.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Check them out at donovanjorgensen.com. Now, who's not hot? I
- 10:19Speaker 2: guess we can go right to Jackson Churio and Cooper Pratt. Yeah.
- 10:24Speaker 2: We just mentioned those guys. Not hot. Those are the
- 10:26Speaker 2: guys not hot. Cooper, for obvious reasons, and Jackson's not.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Jackson's not 0 for 5 again last night.
- 10:32Speaker 2: He just looks lost. Yeah. Indeed. Well, they need him.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Who's hot? He's now perennial.
- 10:38Speaker 1: He's been on this list every day, but Cal Raleigh.
- 10:43Speaker 2: He is, absolutely.
- 10:44Speaker 3: He had a three-homer game and had another one.
- 10:47Speaker 1: He homered in four straight at-bats.
- 10:49Speaker 3: He's been struggling all year, but all of a sudden
- 10:51Speaker 3: he's figured it out, I guess, and he's the Cal Raleigh,
- 10:54Speaker 3: at least for the last couple days we've expected.
- 10:56Speaker 2: So no one's hotter than him.
- 10:59Speaker 3: Yes, the Cubs were hot with 30 straight unanswered runs,
- 11:02Speaker 3: which was a club record, until they blew the game
- 11:05Speaker 3: last night, which made all of us very happy. So
- 11:08Speaker 3: they were hot as well. Who's not hot, Drew, also?
- 11:14Speaker 3: Pro players trying to come back to college. The SEC
- 11:16Speaker 3: and the Big Ten have now both said, nope, we're
- 11:18Speaker 3: not letting it happen. The Big Ten was the first
- 11:21Speaker 3: to do it. And the SEC now has voted no,
- 11:23Speaker 3: 16 to nothing. So Lane Kiffin's plot has been foiled,
- 11:27Speaker 3: some people say, to get college kids back or pro
- 11:31Speaker 3: players back into college. That was a big topic the
- 11:34Speaker 3: last couple of days as well. And it looks like
- 11:36Speaker 3: that's not going to happen, at least in those two leagues.
- 11:39Speaker 3: They're not going to take anybody like that.
- 11:40Speaker 2: So, yeah.
- 11:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Pretty interesting who else is hot uh james harden 37th
- 11:45Speaker 1: birthday today celebrating with his new contract.
- 11:49Speaker 3: Oh that's a bad way to celebrate i mean i
- 11:52Speaker 3: listen you we've talked about this no one's been able
- 11:54Speaker 3: to convince a guy teams to give him more money.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Than james card oh my god it's been impressive so
- 12:00Speaker 2: yeah no.
- 12:01Speaker 3: Question um here's i also have another one and she
- 12:04Speaker 3: might actually be more apt for the hero of the
- 12:06Speaker 3: day so.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Maybe we can just do that as well drew if
- 12:09Speaker 2: you want to.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Um But yeah, it's it's Kinley Rasmus. And she's playing
- 12:15Speaker 3: in the Little League for George for I'm sorry, Alabama.
- 12:19Speaker 3: And she's pretty much been incredible in Alabama. I think overcame.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Washington. She pitches. She hits. She's like one of the
- 12:27Speaker 2: best players in the team. So her highlight package is incredible.
- 12:30Speaker 3: Kinley Rasmus, if you haven't heard, is has been doing
- 12:34Speaker 3: an awesome job. She's playing for the Little League team
- 12:37Speaker 3: in Alabama. So in the World Series, she's She's been dominating, basically.
- 12:41Speaker 3: So I think she's a good quality candidate.
- 12:45Speaker 2: All right. And of course, Dolly Parton, we're going to
- 12:46Speaker 2: put in for. She's the breakout star of the Little
- 12:49Speaker 2: League World Series. I think she's up there. Yeah, a
- 12:51Speaker 2: lot of she's getting a lot of pub. Kinley Rasmus
- 12:53Speaker 2: from Phoenix City, Alabama. And her dad's the I think
- 12:57Speaker 2: her dad's the manager. If I'm not mistaken, or one
- 13:00Speaker 2: of the coaches. So. All right.
- 13:01Speaker 1: She closed her team's 4-2 win over Washington by catching
- 13:04Speaker 1: an infield pop up. In the top of the sixth,
- 13:06Speaker 1: ending a desperate rally by the Northwest representative. And so,
- 13:10Speaker 1: Kinley Rasmus.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Yes. All right.
- 13:14Speaker 1: So, we have to watch her exploits because Armin is
- 13:17Speaker 1: an early adopter on Kinley Rasmus.
- 13:19Speaker 3: Yes, why not? And I've been enjoying watching this tournament.
- 13:22Speaker 3: It started with Wisconsin's run. And I just keep watching.
- 13:25Speaker 3: And obviously, because it's on during the day. So, that's
- 13:28Speaker 3: another thing. 26 girls have played in the tournament since
- 13:31Speaker 3: its first entry in 47. And this year is just
- 13:35Speaker 3: the fourth in which two girls have played. There's another
- 13:37Speaker 3: girl playing, Carson Meyer, who plays for Nevada.
- 13:40Speaker 2: So there you go.
- 13:41Speaker 1: All right, so her dad was a big leaguer, played
- 13:46Speaker 1: parts of four seasons for the Braves and Angels, right-handed reliever.
- 13:51Speaker 1: He also played for Phoenix City National Little League during
- 13:54Speaker 1: the 99 Little League World Series when they won the U.S.
- 13:56Speaker 1: championship before losing to Osaka in the finals. Her grandfather, Tony,
- 14:00Speaker 1: coached that team, and Corey is an assistant coach on
- 14:02Speaker 1: the Phoenix City team this year.
- 14:04Speaker 3: There you go.
- 14:05Speaker 2: And her uncle is Colby Rasmus.
- 14:08Speaker 3: The 10-year MLB event.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Did you mention that? I'm sorry.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Well, and another uncle, Case, was drafted as a catcher
- 14:16Speaker 1: and played in the minors.
- 14:17Speaker 2: For four seasons. It's in her blood, clearly, baseball. And
- 14:20Speaker 2: he's managing. So, yeah.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Case's son, Riker, is Kinley's cousin, also on the team.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Her maternal uncle, Jeff Mathis, was a catcher in the
- 14:28Speaker 1: MLB for 17 seasons with the Angels, Marlins, Diamondbacks, Rangers,
- 14:33Speaker 1: Blue Jays, and Braves. He was a 194 hitter, but
- 14:38Speaker 1: a great defensive player. Her mother, Jill, played softball at
- 14:42Speaker 1: Southern Miss. Man, she was born to it.
- 14:43Speaker 3: Born to it, right? I mean, that's kind of what
- 14:45Speaker 3: it is, so. And her highlight reel has been impressive.
- 14:47Speaker 1: She's not like the best girl in the tournament. She's
- 14:49Speaker 1: like one of the best players in the tournament.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I know, yeah. Wow, okay.
- 14:53Speaker 3: It's like a little Monet Davis action. Reminds me of
- 14:57Speaker 3: Icebox from Little Giant. All right, we'll make her our

- 15:16Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Looking for heroes at 11 o'clock. Training camp live. Wayne Larravee,
- 15:22Speaker 1: Bill Schmid from the perch at Ray Nitschke Field. The
- 15:26Speaker 1: last public practice of training camp. Now, Armin, you love
- 15:30Speaker 1: a good cockle warming story.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Absolutely. Love it.
- 15:34Speaker 1: The Packers, this practice is a little later than usual,
- 15:38Speaker 1: starting at 1130. Maybe the Cardinals contingent needs to get acclimated.
- 15:43Speaker 1: the Midwest time zone, maybe enough.
- 15:45Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:46Speaker 1: But they also, uh, they want to do the dream
- 15:47Speaker 1: drive with the kids and the bikes.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 15:50Speaker 1: And the Cardinals are going to be in it too.
- 15:52Speaker 1: So Packers and Cardinals. So you need twice as many
- 15:54Speaker 1: bikes and twice as many kids.
- 15:55Speaker 3: And I think school started like for a lot of kids.
- 15:58Speaker 1: So I'm wondering how they're going to accomplish that, but they're,
- 16:00Speaker 1: they're planning on doing it and they want like a
- 16:02Speaker 1: lot of, you'll see it tonight, but both teams will
- 16:05Speaker 1: be doing it.
- 16:06Speaker 3: If you put the word out, I would imagine there'd
- 16:07Speaker 3: be a lot of kids with bikes. I'd love to
- 16:09Speaker 3: remember when the Texans did it.
- 16:11Speaker 2: And, um, Like J.J. Watt rode a bike.
- 16:15Speaker 1: So the teams that come in generally take part in
- 16:17Speaker 1: it to be part of the tradition and to get
- 16:19Speaker 1: a flavor for what it's like to be a Packers player.
- 16:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. Pretty cool.
- 16:23Speaker 3: Now, I wonder if these kids are going to start
- 16:24Speaker 3: giving e-bikes out. That's why all the kids are riding
- 16:27Speaker 3: e-bikes now.
- 16:29Speaker 2: The players and their contract ride it.
- 16:30Speaker 3: I was going to say, who's bringing the e-bike?
- 16:32Speaker 2: And which players have to say, no, no, no, I
- 16:34Speaker 2: can't use that.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Armin, you're ahead of the curve because Kinley Rasmus is
- 16:37Speaker 1: getting run on Good Morning America right now.
- 16:39Speaker 2: It's a cool story. I mean, and she's good. It's
- 16:41Speaker 2: fun to watch her highlights. That swing is, like, legit.
- 16:43Speaker 3: She's got a great swing. She pitched also. She was
- 16:46Speaker 3: throwing up and in on a kid. I don't know
- 16:50Speaker 3: if she did it on purpose, but just a good-looking
- 16:53Speaker 3: ball player in terms of the swing, the fundamentals and everything.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Yeah, she's getting it done. 877-794-1973.
- 17:01Speaker 1: If you got any hot takes, let's have them. We'll
- 17:03Speaker 1: continue to discuss the Brewers. They move on today. Disappointing
- 17:06Speaker 1: loss last night, but the Cubs lost as well. Murph
- 17:09Speaker 1: made his stand. He's done it before. That's the thing.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Murph has done this before. A two-time manager of the year.
- 17:15Speaker 1: He did it to Sal Freelick. He did it to
- 17:17Speaker 1: Caleb Durbin. He did it to Tobias Myers at a point.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Didn't he do it just recently with Harrison?
- 17:23Speaker 2: No. Who did he hook? Drone. Drone. Drone, right? Drone
- 17:28Speaker 2: in the middle of a 2-0 count.
- 17:29Speaker 1: He's done it like twice this year, removing pitchers in
- 17:31Speaker 1: the middle of a batter, which is Verrer. So Murph
- 17:34Speaker 1: is making a stand here, and I guess some people
- 17:37Speaker 1: don't like it because the Brewers lost a game.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Yes.
- 17:41Speaker 3: And I think it's that and maybe a little deeper, like,
- 17:45Speaker 3: don't get on my kid.
- 17:46Speaker 2: And we look at Cooper as our kid. I don't know.
- 17:49Speaker 2: There's something there. A little maternal. I don't know. It
- 17:52Speaker 2: could be. All right. Hit us up. Give us your
- 17:54Speaker 2: hot takes. 877-794-1973.
- 17:55Speaker 1: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 18:01Speaker 2: The huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Drew and Armand bringing it to you while Billy's headed
- 18:05Speaker 1: up to Green Bay for the combined practice with the
- 18:07Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals and Green Bay Packers. You'll hear it on
- 18:10Speaker 1: training camp live today, 11 to one with the voice
- 18:13Speaker 1: of the Packers and legend Wayne Larrabee.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Best. Yeah, that's awesome. Indeed.
- 18:19Speaker 1: And it's going to be a great to hear those
- 18:21Speaker 1: guys describe what's happening in the most important practice of it.
- 18:25Speaker 1: It's basically the third preseason game.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:27Speaker 2: And they've done a really good job with it.
- 18:29Speaker 3: And especially Billy, I've enjoyed now, obviously I've listened or
- 18:33Speaker 3: been here producing it, but I've enjoyed the way Billy,
- 18:34Speaker 3: because they can't, we can't see the action. but they
- 18:37Speaker 3: described the action and it feels like, uh, it feels
- 18:40Speaker 3: like you're there.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Yeah. It feels like I'm there. Right. Which I enjoy.
- 18:42Speaker 3: And I find myself, you know, especially when he's with Wayne,
- 18:46Speaker 3: cause it's Wayne, right.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Play by play the best, uh, when they kind of
- 18:48Speaker 2: follow along and okay.
- 18:50Speaker 3: So, you know, Trey's getting ready for a kick and
- 18:51Speaker 3: I'm kind of on the edge of my seat, like
- 18:53Speaker 3: cheering for it to happen. Like, you know, it's, it's
- 18:55Speaker 3: been a lot of fun to listen to. And, uh,
- 18:57Speaker 3: they've been blessed with some great weather and it looks
- 18:59Speaker 3: like another, uh, Pick day.
- 19:01Speaker 2: That's right. Chamber of Commerce Day. Chamber of Commerce Day. Absolutely. 877-794-1973.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Nicoletlaw.com. Talk and text line. We spent time today talking
- 19:11Speaker 1: about Pat Murphy's decision to remove Cooper Pratt for a
- 19:14Speaker 1: pinch runner and the ramifications of that. We also, we
- 19:19Speaker 1: talked a lot about Dolly Parton today. And on Hot
- 19:22Speaker 1: Take Hump Day, I've said it before, and I will
- 19:25Speaker 1: crystallize it into a hot take. Dolly Parton is one
- 19:29Speaker 1: of the few people Remaining public figures whose appeal was
- 19:36Speaker 1: universal across all spectrums. She was universally liked and respected.
- 19:43Speaker 1: You don't find many people saying bad things about her.
- 19:46Speaker 1: We mentioned Betty White. There's just not many figures like that.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Who else is in that strata? In terms of athletes,
- 19:56Speaker 1: I can only think of Shaq.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Shaq's a good example. I think Barkley maybe.
- 20:01Speaker 3: It wasn't always like that for Charles. While he was playing,
- 20:04Speaker 3: he had controversies. The whole, I'm not a role model thing.
- 20:07Speaker 3: But as he's grown older... I think universally it's harder
- 20:11Speaker 3: to find those people. I always said like it is
- 20:14Speaker 3: someone that likes everyone and who is liked by everyone.
- 20:17Speaker 2: It's a blessing and a rarity in this world. And,
- 20:20Speaker 2: and those two had it.
- 20:21Speaker 3: And unfortunately now gone Betty and talking about Betty white with, uh,
- 20:24Speaker 3: and of course, uh, Dolly Parton now will pass, um,
- 20:27Speaker 3: pretty sad. Like, you know, and, and, and you can
- 20:31Speaker 3: make an impact on people by, by being that type
- 20:33Speaker 3: of person. But, There aren't many like that anymore, Drew,
- 20:35Speaker 3: at least. You think about the sports world, there are
- 20:38Speaker 3: some broadcasters. I think Bob was one, you know, Bob Uecker.
- 20:41Speaker 3: Who didn't like Bob, right? I think Bob's a good
- 20:44Speaker 3: example of that.
- 20:44Speaker 2: Bob was up there. Unfortunately, not as many. I would
- 20:48Speaker 2: say there's one guy who's a centenarian, Dick Van Dyke.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Dick Van Dyke's a good one. I mean, Marv Levy?
- 20:57Speaker 2: Dick Van Dyke, Willie Nelson. Yeah, Willie, yeah.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Willie Nelson cuts across and basically universally loved.
- 21:03Speaker 3: Yeah, there isn't going to be many people that are
- 21:06Speaker 3: going to make some sort of snarky meme content centered around,
- 21:10Speaker 3: you know, any sort.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Of joke when they pass. Like, you're right. I mean, like,
- 21:14Speaker 2: that's kind of how you can really, really tell. Ernie Johnson.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Ernie Johnson, great one. Uke, Vin Scully. A lot of
- 21:23Speaker 2: the broadcasters. A lot of the broadcasters. Like, a lot
- 21:25Speaker 2: of the broadcasters in, you know, John Madden?
- 21:30Speaker 3: In our industry, John Madden, although now, like, are people
- 21:34Speaker 3: going to say that about Buck and Aikman? No.
- 21:37Speaker 2: Like, they should in a lot of ways.
- 21:40Speaker 3: I mean, you're talking about just broadcasting versus the type
- 21:43Speaker 3: of person they are, but, like, you know how it
- 21:44Speaker 3: is with those guys. I mean, they're going to catch
- 21:46Speaker 3: it from, you know, oh, Buck hates my team, and
- 21:49Speaker 3: so-and-so was terrible, and he hates my, like, people are
- 21:53Speaker 3: weird about that now. So I wonder if that comes
- 21:55Speaker 3: with age and time, where people will appreciate them over time.
- 21:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:59Speaker 3: Like, well, people talk about Joe Buck the way they
- 22:02Speaker 3: had done the last 15 years, the way they would
- 22:03Speaker 3: when he's in his 80s and 90s. I hope they don't.
- 22:07Speaker 3: I hope it's universally revered. And as they get older,
- 22:10Speaker 3: maybe they would. I mean, I'm sure during Marv Levy's
- 22:13Speaker 3: coaching career, it was a lot more about his lack
- 22:15Speaker 3: of ability to win the Super Bowl than now, where
- 22:19Speaker 3: Marv Levy's another one, 100 years old, I believe, that's
- 22:22Speaker 3: just led an amazing life that I think most people
- 22:25Speaker 3: love and appreciate, not just Bills fans.
- 22:28Speaker 2: I do, yeah.
- 22:29Speaker 1: It's like one of the last things that people agreed on,
- 22:31Speaker 1: that they liked Dolly Parton. Or even if you didn't
- 22:35Speaker 1: get it, you didn't hate her.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Sure. I don't think politicians are going to be ever
- 22:40Speaker 2: in this mix. Never. But you think, okay, what other musicians? Snoop?
- 22:45Speaker 2: Might be in that class.
- 22:47Speaker 3: There's going to be some people that say, I never
- 22:48Speaker 3: liked rap, or I never liked Snoop, or I never
- 22:50Speaker 3: liked this. But Snoop's become one of the most, whoever
- 22:54Speaker 3: would have thought, one of the most palatable public figures now.
- 22:58Speaker 2: I mean, Snoop is.
- 22:58Speaker 3: That guy now that's like America's guy.
- 23:01Speaker 2: Like he's on the NBC Olympics. He does all these things.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Mel Brooks. He does commercials with the, yeah, Mel Brooks.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Carson.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Johnny Carson was that way. Is Jay Leno in that class?
- 23:13Speaker 2: Not everyone likes the way, Conan might be more than Jay. Yeah,
- 23:16Speaker 2: not everybody likes the way that it ended in the
- 23:21Speaker 2: back room dealings. Yeah. So some people might hold him
- 23:24Speaker 2: accountable for that.
- 23:25Speaker 3: I don't. do that because it's just business and everything
- 23:28Speaker 3: but like some people you know yeah late night guy
- 23:31Speaker 3: even Seinfeld has people that you know guys like that
- 23:34Speaker 3: that you think are made men have people that say
- 23:36Speaker 3: oh so he was overrated or he wasn't good or
- 23:38Speaker 3: he's too snarky now or he has these political.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Views you know what I mean so you know I
- 23:44Speaker 2: mean not.
- 23:45Speaker 3: Many people are Teflon like that anymore because I think
- 23:48Speaker 3: in a way we look to take any public figure
- 23:52Speaker 3: find something to identify them with that might, you know,
- 23:56Speaker 3: we want to identify them in a certain way. Maybe
- 23:57Speaker 3: it's politically or a lot of culturally how they live
- 23:59Speaker 3: their life. And we try and find ways to assign
- 24:05Speaker 3: a controversy to them. I mean, Giannis would have been
- 24:08Speaker 3: that guy in Milwaukee, but like, obviously now it's different
- 24:10Speaker 3: for a lot of people.
- 24:12Speaker 2: So over time that changes again, probably totally.
- 24:15Speaker 3: But that was kind of funny how that, how that
- 24:18Speaker 3: works locally. I think we've had some, I think Bob
- 24:21Speaker 3: Harlan was that guy. I think Ron Wolf was that guy.
- 24:24Speaker 3: universally loved right don't know if everyone felt that way
- 24:28Speaker 3: about bud although i do yeah you know but people
- 24:31Speaker 3: some people didn't like the way bud spent or didn't
- 24:33Speaker 3: spend or how he handled things as commissioner or you
- 24:37Speaker 3: know just to be fair there are some people that
- 24:39Speaker 3: detract that but i think buds or the tie you
- 24:42Speaker 3: know so dolly parton bart star bart that's a great
- 24:46Speaker 3: one bart star is a great one even though he
- 24:49Speaker 3: didn't win as a coach most people don't don't really
- 24:51Speaker 3: care about that.
- 24:52Speaker 2: No, that's been, that was forgiven. Yeah.
- 24:54Speaker 1: And the fact that like the stuff that he did,
- 24:56Speaker 1: like writing letters to every starting quarterback at the start
- 24:58Speaker 1: of the season and stuff like that.
- 25:01Speaker 3: He's famous for like not missing a kid. If you, you,
- 25:04Speaker 3: you wrote in asking for a picture, he sent an
- 25:06Speaker 3: autograph picture back. Like almost everyone's like, you know, a
- 25:10Speaker 3: lot of kids have experiences of getting one back.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Like, you know, yeah.
- 25:14Speaker 3: Obviously he was a gentleman, the raw hide stuff, the
- 25:16Speaker 3: boys ranch stuff. So did a lot of good. Is
- 25:21Speaker 3: Tom Cruise in that class?
- 25:24Speaker 2: No. He's just weird.
- 25:27Speaker 3: I think people all universally acknowledge his greatness as an actor.
- 25:32Speaker 3: Tom Hanks is probably closer than Tom Cruise.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Tom Hanks would probably be that guy. I think Hanks
- 25:37Speaker 2: is maybe that guy.
- 25:38Speaker 3: He's the Jimmy Stewart of our generation.
- 25:41Speaker 2: If some people....
- 25:43Speaker 3: If these guys do anything in their personal life that
- 25:45Speaker 3: some people find extreme or controversial, then that takes away
- 25:48Speaker 3: a segment of the universal love for them, right?
- 25:51Speaker 2: Yeah. So, Dobler says Howard Stern. I don't agree there
- 25:54Speaker 2: at all. I mean, he's quite polarized.
- 25:56Speaker 3: Some people, he's one of the most, I mean, he's successful, clearly,
- 26:00Speaker 3: and he's had one of the greatest shows, you know,
- 26:03Speaker 3: king of all media.
- 26:04Speaker 2: But successful, like, always has a backlash, too. Yeah, yeah.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Like, sports-wise, Derek Jeter, pretty much universally respected, even by
- 26:12Speaker 1: Red Sox fans.
- 26:13Speaker 2: But people will say he was a bad owner. Jordan. Jordan. LeBron. Jordan,
- 26:18Speaker 2: bad owner.
- 26:20Speaker 3: And some people will push back against Jordan just because
- 26:25Speaker 3: they don't like the way LeBron's... Some people are LeBron fans.
- 26:30Speaker 1: One of our colleagues in the industry was going off
- 26:32Speaker 1: on Jordan saying that since his playing days, his personal
- 26:36Speaker 1: life and just his life, he's like a loser.
- 26:39Speaker 2: He's a rich guy, but Right, he's kind of gone away.
- 26:41Speaker 1: The way he comports himself and his lack of success
- 26:44Speaker 1: in NBA ownership and stuff.
- 26:47Speaker 2: Except for now, he's had the motorsport success. Is Magic
- 26:51Speaker 2: Johnson in the Dolly Parton class? I think Magic's up there.
- 26:54Speaker 2: He's up there.
- 26:54Speaker 3: I think Magic's got to be a guy that's pretty
- 26:56Speaker 3: universally liked.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Dilly Dan said Morgan Freeman. Yeah, that's a good one.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Who doesn't like Morgan Freeman, right? Yeah. Wildcat Mark said
- 27:06Speaker 2: Robin Yount locally. Yes. Yes. Yeah, he's amazing. For sure, locally,
- 27:09Speaker 2: not as much on the national radar. No, but that's
- 27:14Speaker 2: a great one. Yeah. Other actors, I'm not sure. Like Denzel, maybe.
- 27:19Speaker 2: I think Denzel's in that class. Will Smith could have been. Oh, God, yeah.
- 27:24Speaker 2: Until he started smacking people. Until he slapped Chris Rock.
- 27:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Will Smith was on that track for
- 27:28Speaker 3: some people. Although some people always said, oh, Will Smith
- 27:30Speaker 3: is corny. Like, nobody would have said that about Dolly,
- 27:33Speaker 3: you know? No.
- 27:34Speaker 2: Dobler says Mr. Rogers. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah,
- 27:38Speaker 2: that's pretty good. Henry Winkler now.
- 27:39Speaker 3: Yes.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Great one. Henry Winkler. Henry Winkler's in that mix. Yeah.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Like he hasn't really been involved in the politics at all.
- 27:47Speaker 3: Ron Howard kind of has, or else I'd say Ron
- 27:48Speaker 3: Howard too, but some people aren't going to maybe like
- 27:51Speaker 3: the politics aspect of it. Yeah.
- 27:53Speaker 2: This is the internet age where people will always find
- 27:55Speaker 2: someone that's. How about Jed York? We forgot to add
- 27:58Speaker 2: him to who's not hot. Jed York. Yeah, you're right.
- 28:01Speaker 2: We didn't do that. Deshaun Watson, not hot. Oh, they're
- 28:03Speaker 2: kind of like perennials.
- 28:05Speaker 3: Um, definitely, you know, what group I'm going to say
- 28:08Speaker 3: this to drew, you know, a group of people now
- 28:10Speaker 3: in this day and age, that is, it's an industry.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Now it's a group of people that I don't think
- 28:16Speaker 3: where people will ever look finally upon is, is universally
- 28:21Speaker 3: are influencers in general. Like, I think that even if
- 28:26Speaker 3: you're a successful influencer, even if you have a lot
- 28:28Speaker 3: of followers and you get engagement on your posts and
- 28:30Speaker 3: make money, there are so many people that just hate
- 28:33Speaker 3: the idea of influencers. in general, that there's always going
- 28:37Speaker 3: to be some people.
- 28:38Speaker 2: That just want... You hate Mr. Beast?
- 28:40Speaker 3: Yes, there'll be some people that are just going to
- 28:43Speaker 3: dislike influencing. No influencer, if they're known only for influencing,
- 28:50Speaker 3: will ever have universal appeal to everybody.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Alex Earl? Great example. A lot of people think they're
- 28:57Speaker 2: just vapid. What have you put into the world?
- 29:00Speaker 3: Not saying it's appropriate always, but just saying there's going
- 29:03Speaker 3: to be some people that never like them. I mean,
- 29:07Speaker 3: if you ask a lot of influencers now, I bet
- 29:09Speaker 3: they would tell you most of their job, if they're successful,
- 29:11Speaker 3: is just being insulted.
- 29:12Speaker 2: On a daily basis.
- 29:14Speaker 3: I mean, the comments on most influencers' pages are just
- 29:18Speaker 3: ripping on them a lot of times.
- 29:20Speaker 2: Maybe that's just my anecdotal kind of observation, but....
- 29:25Speaker 3: That was KB's thing. You know, I don't ever want
- 29:26Speaker 3: to be successful. I think that's a good example of that.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Good example. I always think about KB saying that, and
- 29:31Speaker 2: I think it's true. He didn't want the smoke. Exactly.
- 29:36Speaker 2: A lot of that comes with being successful. That's what
- 29:38Speaker 2: makes the Dalai Lama.
- 29:40Speaker 3: So unique jonah and river falls said uh what about
- 29:42Speaker 3: jim paschke a little before my time but i got
- 29:44Speaker 3: to meet him oh yeah i think that's good for
- 29:46Speaker 3: johnny mclachlan local johnny mac as well locally yeah wayne
- 29:51Speaker 3: i haven't i haven't really met anyone oh yeah like
- 29:53Speaker 3: oh sure wayne obviously yeah.
- 29:58Speaker 2: Wink McAllister says, oh, Wink McAllister. I love that. How
- 30:01Speaker 2: about that? That's a blast.
- 30:03Speaker 3: So I think we found some some good ones. I mean,
- 30:05Speaker 3: the all time greats, though, they're probably. Not as many
- 30:10Speaker 3: as there used to be, I think, that are just
- 30:12Speaker 3: totally flying above the fray. You know, one of the
- 30:16Speaker 3: things is that it's a it's a national pastime. It's
- 30:19Speaker 3: not up there with bitching and moaning on the Internet,
- 30:21Speaker 3: which is the actual national pastime. But building people up
- 30:24Speaker 3: and then tearing them down and delighting in their fall
- 30:26Speaker 3: is part of the culture. Yeah, it's the society. For
- 30:30Speaker 3: a while, Taylor Swift could do no wrong, and then
- 30:33Speaker 3: people got sick of her, and now they're anti-Taylor Swift. Yeah,
- 30:37Speaker 3: and just because so many people like her, there's going
- 30:41Speaker 3: to be the exact amount of people that dislike her.
- 30:44Speaker 3: Although I think she's universally appealed now as the great
- 30:48Speaker 3: musician of a generation.
- 30:49Speaker 2: But you're right.
- 30:50Speaker 3: I mean, her mere existence on TV angered so many
- 30:54Speaker 3: people during those football games.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Yeah. Just her existence was firing people up.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Yep.
- 30:59Speaker 2: So, I don't know. You still live in a Swifty household?
- 31:03Speaker 2: Lara's still a Swifty? I mean, she always loved to
- 31:06Speaker 2: put Taylor Swift on. Always will be. Yeah.
- 31:08Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 31:08Speaker 2: All right.
- 31:08Speaker 3: So.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Absolutely. So, yeah, you will not waver. What about boy bands?
- 31:13Speaker 2: What about Backstreet Boys? Oh, man. No, there's going to
- 31:16Speaker 2: be always people that didn't like them either. True. Yeah. True. Yeah.
- 31:21Speaker 1: Dave Grohl had that until he had his. He got
- 31:24Speaker 1: busted up a little bit. Yeah, until he got busted up.
- 31:26Speaker 3: Although that's different than, like, people acknowledging their art. There
- 31:30Speaker 3: are some people that will always, like, acknowledge the greatness
- 31:33Speaker 3: of their art, right?
- 31:34Speaker 2: One of the principles of my life. the pillars of
- 31:38Speaker 2: my philosophy is trust the art, not the artist.
- 31:40Speaker 3: Yeah, which is a good way to look at it
- 31:42Speaker 3: in a lot of ways. But this very discussion is
- 31:44Speaker 3: about the artist.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but it's like that's, you know, yeah, because
- 31:48Speaker 1: we're lumping that in, but a lot of people can't
- 31:50Speaker 1: separate those.
- 31:53Speaker 2: Tom Cruise is a good example.
- 31:54Speaker 3: I don't think anyone objectively is going to say he's
- 31:57Speaker 3: not a great actor.
- 31:58Speaker 1: I don't think I'd want to have dinner with Mel Gibson,
- 32:00Speaker 1: but some of his work on screen is pretty good.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 32:03Speaker 1: And I would say the same if people don't agree with, like,
- 32:07Speaker 1: Tim Robbins or anybody's politics separate their work from their beliefs, right?
- 32:13Speaker 2: Well, I think that's a good way to go about
- 32:15Speaker 2: it to an extent. I think so. You have to
- 32:18Speaker 2: draw the line somewhere, though. I mean, OJ, I mean,
- 32:20Speaker 2: you know, there are.
- 32:21Speaker 3: Certain guys you have to... But, yes, OJ was a
- 32:24Speaker 3: great running back independent of his... murder or whatever, you know,
- 32:28Speaker 3: obviously alleged.
- 32:29Speaker 2: But he, he did it. Okay. Oh, Armin. He did it.
- 32:32Speaker 2: I'm going to say it. All right. I don't think
- 32:34Speaker 2: you're going to get sued because I think that's a
- 32:35Speaker 2: pretty popular.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Opinion, but you get my point though. So yeah, it's,
- 32:41Speaker 3: it's independent of the artist or the art, the art
- 32:43Speaker 3: is independent of the artist.
- 32:44Speaker 2: That's true. That's it. That's it. All right.

- 34:11Speaker 2: take based on that.
- 34:11Speaker 3: He said, I'll take someone telling you in spring that
- 34:13Speaker 3: we're gaining four minutes of light. Doesn't hit the same
- 34:16Speaker 3: as someone telling you we're losing four minutes of light
- 34:18Speaker 3: in the fall.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Losing it every day. God, it gets darker earlier. It sucks.
- 34:22Speaker 2: I'm bumming about that.
- 34:23Speaker 1: I'm excited about football, but I'm bumming about the saying
- 34:26Speaker 1: goodbye to summer.
- 34:27Speaker 2: Days are getting smaller. Still time to get us.

- 34:55Speaker 1: you might not have thought of.
- 34:57Speaker 2: I don't know. Armin, you ever been in a big city?
- 34:58Speaker 2: Have you taken a Waymo ride yet?
- 35:00Speaker 3: I have, actually.
- 35:02Speaker 2: I took one at the Miami Bachelor Party I was
- 35:05Speaker 2: at for my cousin.
- 35:05Speaker 3: Yes. My younger cousin had ordered it. He said he's
- 35:11Speaker 3: getting an Uber or whatever it is. I didn't think
- 35:13Speaker 3: much of it. And he goes, look, I got a Waymo.
- 35:15Speaker 3: And I don't remember if I told you, but I
- 35:16Speaker 3: did take one. I did take one.
- 35:18Speaker 2: And it was kind of a very weird experience. For
- 35:21Speaker 2: those who don't know, Waymo are the driverless Ubers.
- 35:23Speaker 3: Right.
- 35:23Speaker 2: The ones in Vegas are called Zoox, I think. Zoox, yeah.
- 35:26Speaker 3: But they're a little different. But the Waymos are regular cars.
- 35:30Speaker 3: They're driverless Ubers.
- 35:32Speaker 2: It's a weird feeling to get in one of those things. Okay.
- 35:34Speaker 2: They don't go on the freeway. That's right. So it is,
- 35:37Speaker 2: it's weird.
- 35:38Speaker 1: And that might be a little bit of a wake
- 35:40Speaker 1: and bake feeling for someone to get in a car
- 35:42Speaker 1: and sit in the back with no driver.
- 35:45Speaker 2: Very weird. It was crazy. Okay.
- 35:48Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. And this is where the wake
- 35:52Speaker 1: and bake thing comes in because there are a lot
- 35:53Speaker 1: of people who are worried about flock cameras and you know,
- 35:58Speaker 1: their utility and like, spy state you know what they
- 36:02Speaker 1: can tell about people that's one thing that seems to
- 36:04Speaker 1: be uniting people they want to use it as a
- 36:05Speaker 1: crime-solving thing but they're also using it and who knows
- 36:08Speaker 1: what else they're doing about your habits and when you're
- 36:11Speaker 1: where when and where you're driving it's storing a lot
- 36:12Speaker 1: of data on you and a lot of folks are
- 36:16Speaker 1: not down with that that's an infringement of rights to
- 36:19Speaker 1: privacy right.
- 36:21Speaker 3: Exactly right that's what some people are saying yeah.
- 36:23Speaker 1: Flock cameras and we've had people pulled over because for
- 36:27Speaker 1: mistaken identity with the license plates and stuff like that
- 36:30Speaker 1: and It's kind of weird, but also you wonder if
- 36:32Speaker 1: they're selling your data to see, like, when you're going
- 36:34Speaker 1: to go to the store and when you're going to
- 36:35Speaker 1: go to what fast food places you're going to and, like,
- 36:38Speaker 1: are you going to be hit with targeted ads?
- 36:40Speaker 2: It's always fraught with potential for misuse.
- 36:42Speaker 1: All right, so the flock hammer thing has brought in
- 36:44Speaker 1: this whole nanny state thing, but, and this is where
- 36:47Speaker 1: the Waken Bay comes in. Story from the Nashville Banner newspaper.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Cool name for a paper. Okay. Parked Waymo vehicles.
- 36:57Speaker 1: Waymos, for those who don't know, it's like, it's, They
- 37:01Speaker 1: hit Nashville a while back, and there's more than 50
- 37:05Speaker 1: white driverless Jaguars with out-of-state plates parked around, and you
- 37:09Speaker 1: can order them as like an Uber. And they have
- 37:11Speaker 1: large spinning sensors shaped like top hats on the roofs,
- 37:15Speaker 1: carting people around downtown Nashville, going to the riverfront, lower Broadway,
- 37:20Speaker 1: Music Row.
- 37:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 37:22Speaker 1: The vehicles use a combination of radar and LiDAR sensors,
- 37:25Speaker 1: external audio and video from both in-car camera systems, 29
- 37:29Speaker 1: external cameras to operate and train the vehicles to make
- 37:32Speaker 1: them safe. But even when the vehicles are empty, if
- 37:37Speaker 1: they're parked and they're running, which you can tell when
- 37:41Speaker 1: the sensors are spinning, they record audio and 360 degrees
- 37:45Speaker 1: and video. So they're taping you all the time. To
- 37:48Speaker 1: continuously perceive the world around the vehicle. Yeah, because they
- 37:52Speaker 1: need that for the function of it. A spokesperson for
- 37:54Speaker 1: Waymo said that Constant recording is necessary for parked vehicles
- 37:57Speaker 1: to respond to like emergency vehicles to get out of
- 38:00Speaker 1: the way or other hazards.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Yes.
- 38:03Speaker 1: And they're engineered with privacy by design, but the sensors
- 38:05Speaker 1: remain active when the vehicle is parked to maintain awareness.
- 38:08Speaker 2: So now how long do they store the data?
- 38:11Speaker 1: Company said it's too costly to store large amounts of
- 38:13Speaker 1: random footage or audio that doesn't help train the vehicles
- 38:16Speaker 1: or pertain to a specific incident, but they won't say
- 38:20Speaker 1: how long they keep. the data and idly collect.
- 38:23Speaker 2: Okay. Interesting. So they said it's just a reasonably.
- 38:25Speaker 1: Appropriate amount of time to improve our automated driving system.
- 38:29Speaker 2: What does that mean?
- 38:29Speaker 3: Right.
- 38:31Speaker 1: They're in residential neighborhoods or do they do it in,
- 38:33Speaker 1: in potentially sensitive areas? It's a little bit, you start
- 38:39Speaker 1: to think about it and it's a little bit freaky.
- 38:41Speaker 3: Let's say, yeah, let's say you're, there's one park somewhere
- 38:44Speaker 3: in a downtown area and you live in an apartment
- 38:46Speaker 3: above that and your windows open and you're on the
- 38:49Speaker 3: balcony and In theory, it could be taping you all
- 38:52Speaker 3: the time, talking or anything. Now, I guess that's true
- 38:55Speaker 3: of a lot of things these days. There could be
- 38:57Speaker 3: cameras everywhere, but you might not think there is one
- 39:00Speaker 3: with those Waymos. You might not realize that it could
- 39:02Speaker 3: be taping you. So it is kind of a weird thing, Drew.
- 39:06Speaker 3: It makes you wonder. That's the wake and bake aspect
- 39:09Speaker 3: of it, right?
- 39:09Speaker 2: That's right. It makes you wonder what could they be recording.
- 39:12Speaker 1: So last week, it came out that Flock is trying
- 39:16Speaker 1: to broker a deal to access in-car footage from Uber
- 39:19Speaker 1: and Lyft. To help its sweeping surveillance network?
- 39:23Speaker 3: To help to help surveillance right uh that's not not
- 39:27Speaker 3: great bob well you know and this is you know
- 39:30Speaker 3: you talk about things that are universal this has been
- 39:32Speaker 3: one thing that some i think a lot of people
- 39:34Speaker 3: sort of like that in data centers have like united
- 39:37Speaker 3: people on totally it seems like a lot of people
- 39:39Speaker 3: are not comfortable with the experience and when you start
- 39:41Speaker 3: looking for flock cameras you do see them pop up
- 39:43Speaker 3: everywhere and they're on my street now i mean Good thing.
- 39:47Speaker 2: They're just going to see me walking up and down
- 39:48Speaker 2: the street. Exactly.
- 39:49Speaker 3: My headphones and my Brooks listening to gin blossoms. But
- 39:54Speaker 3: I mean, that's a, that's a thing. A lot of
- 39:55Speaker 3: people argue about, but okay, Drew, but stepping in a
- 39:58Speaker 3: way more. And when that thing started driving, it freaked
- 40:00Speaker 3: me out, man.
- 40:01Speaker 2: I believe. But then what was odd is how quickly
- 40:03Speaker 2: I got used to it.
- 40:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Cause it operates correctly and well. Yeah. And if it works,
- 40:09Speaker 2: you're like, now I'm in the car and it's going
- 40:10Speaker 2: to work weird. It's weird.
- 40:13Speaker 1: But anyway, the, for all the novelty and the coolness
- 40:16Speaker 1: of it took away a driving job.
- 40:19Speaker 2: People are making money. That's right. And they're surveilling you.
- 40:23Speaker 2: It's kind of frightening. All right.
- 40:25Speaker 1: Thanks to doll for coming in. Check out training camp
- 40:27Speaker 1: live today. We'll talk about Packers practice tomorrow. Brewers Mets
- 40:30Speaker 1: as well.
- 40:31Speaker 2: We're over the hump. We'll see you Thursday at 5. Peace.
