• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I and I can't watch one of those things without
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: immediately making fun of it, So I think the only
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: way to do it is.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: To But how long of it do you watch? Generally
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: longer than you'd care to admit.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: It depends, and it's usually like you know, it depends, Okay,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it depends on the person, It depends on the city.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I don't watch the makeup ones. I don't care about
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the makeup sure tell. It's like there are some that
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: are more interesting than others, I'll admit, but all of
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: them I look at it. I'm like, this is I
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: just kind of laugh at it, although I feel like
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: you can make it a funny thing too, you know,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Like I.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Think my least favorite and the thing that I hate
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the most, however, I look for and always wait for
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: in that in whatever you know, get ready.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: One is the in the.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Dark flash on light or eyes closed, little fat wait

• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Job mounting a camera everywhere to walk.

  Speaker 1: We probably should be doing that more. Yeah, oh yeah,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you probably right, be wildly more successful.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Probably the next step of this thing is right is
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: doing all this but it's just yeah, get ready with me.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: But anyway, my point is about the YouTube. Smash the

  Speaker 2: So we appreciate you guys finding us whatever way you
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: can be sure to do that as well. All right,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Johnny Cribbage, speaking of you has a little puffin on
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: his picture there.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I think that's a puffin. It looks like the penguin,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: and only it's penguin.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Billy, Well, maybe he's hanging out with Dolf, who is
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: not going to be hanging out with us coming up
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: on a halftime, but instead he is gonna be hanging
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: out with the puffins because he landed in Iceland, what
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: an hour.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Or so ago.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, I was kind of starting to
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: track that flight and I totally forgot, so I think
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: he did about that time.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: So good.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: He talks about braves are still creeping on the second
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: best n L record, and by now he brings up
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a good point, Billy, because I'm noticing this thing, which
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: isn't a bad thing.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: It's a totally natural human thing.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: We are just already as a fan base looking toward October,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: looking toward trade deadline than October. And that's the conversation.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: But you know, there is still there are still a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: lot of goals to be had during the baseball season.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And just because we won multiple NL centrals in a row,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: just because we've been a playoff team. Now we just
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: talked about how the results are not guaranteed, even with
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the same players. I still think we should be excited,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: appreciated and being aware of what this team is still
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: doing every day. Like I know, there's an assumption, all right,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: we're gonna win the division, We're gonna go with the playoffs,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: no big deal.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: But this buye is a big factor.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can get that first round by obviously
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you get the rest, but obviously you avoid that risk
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: of losing in the first round. Yeah, you win, and
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the Brewers are locked into it with the Braves. Now
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: obviously we're in good shape, but there's no guarantee there.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You want to get that by The first guy that
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I remember bringing it up earliest was Hunter like three
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: weeks ago.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, had his eye on the on the bye, which
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I appreciate.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And and it is.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Brewers got a taste of it last year,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and I think that's a part of it, Arman, right,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: like getting to know just how important it is and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: how you know changing it is for how you are
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: one looking and getting into the dance. But then once
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you get in and you do advance out of that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: first you know, three game series. You saw it with
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Chicago last year their bullpen was was stretched. Their rotation
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: was in a spot where they started Boyd on what
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: two or three days rest, and then he was awful
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: in game one. Now better in game four, right, four,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: when he comes back and starts in Chicago. But it
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: puts you in a very precarious situation even if you
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: do get out of that round. We've seen it now,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: maybe our vision of it is a little clouded, Yeah,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: because the Brewers have gotten skunked in that round like that.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: That I think is one of the other parts, Like
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you've we've hosted those games and not gotten out of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: any of the three game series that you played in.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Right, It's no guaranteed all, but I think it's more
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: of a pressure on the favorite to try and beat
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: this eighty four win team.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: In the three game series. Sure, yes, because again, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I think this is one that you were. Were you
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a Game two of the Diamondback series the burn.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Star was that game one? I think it was game
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: one one? Yeah, I was that game one.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Remember we were talking about it going into game two
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: of like, hey, let's not just be sitting on the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: hands and knees in game two of the Mets series.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, yes, Oh, this is.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: A this is a tough moment because you know your
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: backs are against the wall and as Corbyn, Carroll or
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: catell Marte puts them up one nothing in the first
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: inning and every but he's looking around like, oh no, no,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the energy is going out of the building and now
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it gets really nervy and the pucker factor goes up immensely.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: So here, yeah, the bye is the bye is really
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: really significant. I just I want to make sure I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: know what you're saying. You're you're saying, enjoy the ride
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to it, but the job is not finished, because I
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: think that's very much what our man Johnny is saying, like, hey,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: four and a half games is not a is not
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: an insurmountable lead. They're in the for the the race
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: for that number two seed, but for the division, man,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: seventy seven games in sixty games is a tough hill
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to climb. Absolutely, that's a very very tough hill to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: climb for the cub He's looking at you right now.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we put ourselves in a great position for the division. Obviously,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: those things are never going to be done done, but
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: you know, it's a tough hill to climb, to your point,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: and it's very true. So you put yourself in a
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: great position to do that. But yeah, I mean, I'm
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: agreeing with Johnny's point that he's making, and to your point,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: that's absolutely what I'm saying is this is not a
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: d a done deal situation for the Brewers just because, Okay,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: it looks like we're definitely in the playoffs. I understand
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the Brewers playoff percentage of like nine to nine percent.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: We're gonna be in the playoffs. But there's you're in
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: a race right now for a very important thing, which
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: is a free round in the playoffs.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a that's a get out of jail
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: free card. I mean that's you.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: You are fighting now to win those games to get
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: in that place, to make sure you have a buy
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: to be able to avoid that first round totally. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: in that sense, the Brewers are in a dog fight
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: and they will be in a dog fight probably until
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: near the end of the year. So don't lose sight
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: of that. Don't not pay attention to that just because
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: we're still Yeah, we're baseball group getting used to this
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: new playoffs system.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: We'll pay it, We'll pay attention to it.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: But I'll say this about Atlanta, I think they gotta
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: they gotta worry about their own house. Oh absolutely, I
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: mean they're gonna be more worried about Philadelphia and they
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: can battle in the East.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Again.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Four and a half games not insurmountable. In sixty games,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: it's a decent lead. Like that's that's a nicely. Now
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you're a one bad week away from potentially really really flipping.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: But uh, I'm still staring up and the race that
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at is for the number one.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Seed and good one.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe I shouldn't be because we saw how how strange
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that series can be. But in the two three two format,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: even more in the playoffs, it is a It is
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a strange one to watch because I think in the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: NBA you just get so accustomed to the two one
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: one one and the format of like, you lose one
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of those first two games, you might not get home.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: You very much don't aren't guaranteed to come home. That
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: is a little bit of a mind melt when all
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: of a sudden you're in it in game one is
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: into the eighth inning and your town two to one.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: There you you kind of forget quickly how it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: But the series life is one that we are as
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you mentioned I think still learning how to become, but
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it is exciting, it's tantalizing, and it's too close to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: being here to not be thinking about October. Every single day,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I get to smell the flowers. I get to enjoy
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: every single game, every enjoy every sandwich, enjoy today's three
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: to ten first pitch against the Rockies, and and make
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: sure you win two a three to be able to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: have all the races.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: But you get a bite of that apple.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: This postseason baseball is a lot of fun and it's
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I don't fault anybody for thinking, all right, but let's
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: just fast forward to the really really Yeah.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: It's like when you've played Mario enough times when you
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: know you can beat the early levels, you want to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: warp speed just to the super fowl.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: We get to that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Totally get it, and you're absolutely right, and listen, we've
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: built that situation for ourselves in Milwaukee where we can
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: afford to be excited and entitled. I guess it is
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the one word you can say. I don't know if
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: it's the right word to the point. I guess my
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: point is to the point where you know you'll be
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs and we know the Bruis will be
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. It's not been many summers here July
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: twenty fourth when even the biggest of eors is comfortable
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: saying that. But I mean, with the situation the way
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: it is, the Brewis will be in. So it's nice
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: knowing you have a spot in October and you can
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: say that, and that's because of the position you have
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: built for yourself, right, But it's also a situation where
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: you say, Okay, how many fans say this, now, how
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: can we win in October? Well, this is step one,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: is to try and get the best position you can,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: get the best seed obviously a first round by and
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: then look toward it. Because I don't know, Billy, I'm
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: just different, I guess than some people that automatically believe
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: because of what the Dodgers did to the Brewers last year,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: that it's gonna definitely happen again. And it's like, well,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: if we don't get so and so pieces in the
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: trade deadline, we're just gonna lose the Dodgers again.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think the Dodgers will be a favorite
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: against us, but I don't think it's a done deal.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I think it's his baseball. I think the Brewers had
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: a potential to play better. I think the Dodgers have
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the potential to have things happen to them, And I
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: think anything can still happen. I'm not I don't walk
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: into a series thinking this is absolutely the way it's
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: supposed to go and the way it's gonna go.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I just don't.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: So can the Brewers beat the Dodgers as currently constructed
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: in the seven games series?
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I think they can. I think things have to go
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: their way. I think guys have to play better. I
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: think your most important players have to hit better. I
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: think you have to be better in certain moments. But
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I think you can do it. I'm not gonna say
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: you're it's more likely or you're a favorite. But we
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: don't know who's gonna be healthy for both teams down
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: the stretch.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: We don't know what kind of runs guys will be.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Not harmonizing in there, there has to be there's a
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: lot of harmonizing in there. But I have the favorite
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: you know you no?
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: But and with with a Tarik Scoobale trade, are you
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the favorite?
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: No?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: But your margin like that's another but so you're you're
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: significantly better. I think we're kind of saying the same thing.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure because we're we're running
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: running around there for a second. The Brewers making moves
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: is still necessary. I think it's it's it's a huge paramount.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: It would definitely help you. But I also don't think
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: it guarantees anything. Right, Well, you understand it doesn't guarantee anything,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: but we're not saying.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Guarantee a title. But they have to make moves.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: They can't go into the playoffs as currently constructed if
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: they can't go down the stretches currently constructed.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, in terms of if you want to fill up
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: your your case, your case, you know, if you want
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: to fill up your tank, you want to be the
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: most amimal possible.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you want to win in the postseason, you
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: need to make I think multiple moves.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know that that's rather arguable. And you're saying,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: hope it's.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Not me saying like strategy, Like I understand, sure, could
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: we could watch Christian Yelich go six for thirteen in
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the playoffs three bombs?
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, guys get have bigger runs and stuff like that.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: I sure very much could.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I would bet the under on it from what we've
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: now watched over pass performance in those spots.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: But I'm gonna be rooting for it big time.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: You do need, though, to make and I think this
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: is the other part, Like you look at where the Brewers'
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: pitching staff is as currently constructed right now today was
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: sixty games to go. They might need reinforcements just to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: get through the next sixty games. So I mean I
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: get the maybe caution of sure, it's not gonna guarantee anything.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I think we all know that now.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: The big one is you need and you owe it
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to the rest of the fan base and the roster.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: I think more the roster than us to do something.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And make it be multiple or moves of significance because
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: they put themselves right back in the same position to
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: where a year ago. And if you get au Haino
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Suarez a year ago, do you win the series? No,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: probably not, But as currently constructed, I know you most
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: likely don't win the series. So give yourself every opportunity
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and any chance better to get past that demon that
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: is the La Dodgers.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I also think.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: This though, whether or not you get a game changing
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: player at the deadline, and it's probably gonna be a picture.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: It might be a offensive.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Not a whole lot of offensive players a picture.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: You will have to hit better with the guys in
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: your room now. To win that series, you will have
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to do it like the the reason that that game. Listen,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: this is gonna sound crazy maybe, but I'm gonna say it.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: The Brewers got swept by the Dodgers. But everyone likes
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: to talk about how dominant, how much we got dominated.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: It felt like that because the Brewers couldn't score more
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: than one run in any of those games. That's why
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I felt like that, because the Brewers were giving you
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: little and little hope to actually score runs.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: What you have to do to win baseball games, I mean,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: you could have the best picture. Is that is you
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: need to so it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I mean there was two to one, three one, five
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to one, like the Brewers were not. If you were
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: just looking at baseball scores, besides the fact that you
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: were swept, you wouldn't sit there and say the Brewers
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: were dominated. They weren't thirteen to two scores of twelve
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: to one. They were dominated because it felt like you
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: couldn't even put a ball in play because they were suffocated.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: And that's why it felt so bad, and that much
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: probably won't change, Billy. This is the guys we have,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: hopefully healthy in the lineup. We have that will have
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to swing the bat against those guys. Those guys will
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: have to swing the bat better. Now you have some
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: new guys obviously, I mean you have you know, Pratt
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: and Laura and those guys, and you know there's no
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Collins are Durban, but you will need guys to swing
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: the bat better against those guys and score more runs
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: against those guys to win. And those that cavalry probably
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: isn't coming. Now, you try and push the margins wherever
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: you can. If that special player is a closer we
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: talked about Maimiler or Schooble like everyone likes to talk about.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Maybe those are the ones that would be definitely a help.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: And all you're trying to do there is really put
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: yourself in the best position for when the first pitch
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: is thrown in those games, you give yourself the best
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: chance to win.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Currently at a ESPN and dot com.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: The conglomerate of different names and writers that they have
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: their Dodger writer Alden Gonzalez puts it out here of
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the updates on their full intel on the deadline, why
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers are in or out on Schooble, the Tigers
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: ultimately puts Schooble on the market, It's clear Los Angeles
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Dodgers would be the overwhelming favorites to lay in the ace.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe the other reason why you should be in the conversation,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: like because already I'm looking at it, Blake Snell, Tyler Glass,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: now Yamamoto, it might be worse potentially Otani and schoobl So.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: That might make it worse for the way what like,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: we assume it'd be better if they they sell on
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Schooble because we can get.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Them or the Dodgers get him. That's a scary. Then
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: you're just, you know, really hoping for What are the
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: names Robbie Ray or Kevin Gosman do for you? They don't,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: they don't.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: They don't send a tingle up my spine, but they're pieces.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, do they send one up yours?
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't necessarily talk about a lot of
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: tingles that I have necessarily, but I mean Kevin Gosman's
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: a big time, big time dude. Now this year he
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: hasn't pitched potentially well, but a lot of players in
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Toronto haven't haven't been good.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's been a.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Sub three five era guy for the majority of the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: last five or six years.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I think he's pitched in a ton of big games.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I think Robbie Rays an interesting one. He's probably dealted
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the deadline. I think he's on an expiring contract with
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: San Francisco.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Clay Holmes is another one.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Obviously, we've talked a ton about Freddy Peralta. Michael Waka
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: seems to be one of the names that's gonna be
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: on the move, simply because his value is never gonna
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: be higher at thirty seven, thirty five years old and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: coming off an All Star year, are you buying too
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: high on that one and enjoying one more year of
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: control at the end. There's a lot of different starters,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and we've only talked about School because he's at the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: top of the list, and rightfully so, he's been that good.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: But the game changing arm in the back end of Miller,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I know they're they've been read hot, so they're probably not.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: But oro all this Chapman two weeks ago was was
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest names to be able to be
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: floated around. I'm excited to see what other relievers pop
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: onto the market in the next couple of days. Because
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: we're still over a week away August third, is still
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: a significant amount of time for teams to go up
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: and down. Eight seven seven seventy nine four one nine
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: seven three. We're gona flip it to some football conversation
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: on the other side, and there we're Wayne Larvy join

  Speaker 1: Arman Sorry and myself Billy Schmid on the huddle back
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: after this stay with us on Fox Sports Radio wisconcept.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I may have been there for a u a date,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: no for a night storm event at one particular point
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: in time back when I was in high school. I
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: was that was a little pasture time into that. It
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: was I don't know what night story those were. Those
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: were supposed to be like big parties for not eighteen
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: year olds, like a club, like a race plave club party,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: somewhat outdoor, but you weren't weren't twenty one, oh, like.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Like when I went like when I was in college
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: when I went to Park Bar on Friday nights for
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: eighteen and overnight, but it was like not you couldn't
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: buy an alcohol.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, very similar situation, a very similar situation which
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Park part which became Whiskey Bar. I very much could
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: be wrong.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: It could have been some other random Field County area.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I have no clue where I thought it was Washington
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: kind of very very much could be.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: It was cool rolling up with the football team.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I was the cool I definitely
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: was not the cool guy in the group.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: That was for that was for sure.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of cool dudes there though, a
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: lot of cool people, a lot of cool guys, a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: lot of cool.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Events cars, that's for sure.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: We're heads right, A lot of nice you know, some
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: all Tom boys like Dustin Lynch just said right.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Uh, no, it was It wasn't necessarily as much country
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: music as their playing.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: This was this was all this was.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were trying to turn anything into a club.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: That night Storm thing was an interesting phenomenon. There was
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a there was a couple of years there where it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Was popular, definitely braves and underground things.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was similar to like Club Kiss. I know
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: that was that was a hot hot there for a minute.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: You got ready to go to Summerfest for Club Kiss.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: You got your brand new Abercromby T shirt on for
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Club Kiss?
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Man, Do you have all your stuff ready to club
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: it up and enjoy? Packer's training camp coming up next week?
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Packer's shareholders meeting starts up on Monday. Your boy Florio
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: was uh is bringing his fastball on Pro Football Talk
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: as he had a video going on talking and mentioning
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: some you know, potential uh problems going forward long term
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: with Packers ownership.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Just this is Florio season.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: You gotta find anything possible to talk about that doesn't
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: include guys actually playing football, because people haven't been playing.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Football yet around the entire NFL.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: But teams are starting to clock in the Panthers and
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Cardinals are into camp, and then one week from today
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the Packers will be getting ready for their third training
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: camp practice.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Well, super exciting. Obviously, we're getting closer and closer. And
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: now finally the football season when when cam starts and
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: that in that sun drenched rain Ichkie Field where it
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: still feels like summer but you can feel fall, if
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: that makes any sense, because you know this is gonna
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: be right around the corner. And yeah, Florio, I mean,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: you know, I I don't know if Florio. It seems
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: like he needs an anti Packers. Although I agreed with Florio,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: which was unusual for me, but I agreed with him
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: last week about one of his takes he had. I
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: think it was an Aaron Rodgers deal, but this was Yeah,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: that's interesting. But Billy, at that time of year, we're
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: gonna start talking football, but not actual football yet, if
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: that makes sense, because the camps are about to start
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: and everyone's about to watch and start watchton for players
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: that pop, and it's going to be beat writer tweet
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: season about who made the big play camp that day,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: you know, and it's gonna be all that stuff.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: So I'm pretty excited for this.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Now newly minted and newly paid Davonte Wyatt. He probably
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: won't get as many of the training camp highlight play
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: by play stuff, but there will be obvious eyes when
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: you get three years and fifty seven million dollars.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: That's more of the flash number.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: You really dig into more of it, as they always
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: generally do when when signing contracts and extensions. Done it
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: now three times over the summer where it's large amounts
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: of money up front, we can give you a big
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: chunk of change right out of the gates, and then
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the rest of the money that's going to be reported
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: on the surface, like Christian Watson's deal or even Jade
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Reid I think his was twenty million guaranteed as well.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Three years fifty million. There's a lot more to earn
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot more out in front. Because Devonte Wyatt,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: you can, you can call it what it is, went
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: on the field and went healthy. He has made a
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: lot of plays, especially last year, is making a ton
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: of plays alongside Micah Parsons, and the defense was was
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: splashy when both of them were on the field. Wyatt
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: checks out he gets hurt before before Parsons, he gets
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: hurt in Detroit on Thanksgiving I believe was when was
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: when his injury occurred, So you already had seen it
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: start to decline a little bit because he didn't have
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: any real interior rush. I'm very excited for what the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: hard Grave and Wyatt pairing on third down brings, especially
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: later into the season, assuming health, that we can get
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Parsons and Hardgrave and now DeVante Wyatt with the extension
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: rushing the passer and add in the fourth whoever that
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: may be right. If that's if that is Lucas van Nesta,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. And then he's locked in there. My man
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: denied Dennis Sutton. That's another one rookie third round pick
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: or is it one of the guys that's been there
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: now for a couple of years. Baron Serell, he's trying
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: to We're going through it on the camp Battles yesterday,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: me and Aaron Nagler, and like that spot is one
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: of the more appealing conversations the the third or fourth
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: edge rusher, because that guy's gonna play armin And there's
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: a question as to who's actually gonna make the team.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a two big ones right, because obviously I
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: have Jonathan Gannon in there now, how how will things
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: change or be different or how is this affected by
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: what Jonathan Gannon will bring to the table. And uh
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: also because of the early season injuries and we don't
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: know when we're gonna see Mikey yet, where will the
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: pass rush come from. There's opportunities there, whether or not
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: that that means there's gonna be a lack of pass
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: rush or or there will be some. There's gonna be
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: opportunities there for guys to come up big and a
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: renewed focus maybe on that D line because of that,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: because of that gan in factor. But I think you
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: can't we can't totally eliminate the impact of how much
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Micah loved having Devonte Wyatt there and how much he
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: spoke up during the season about how great Devonte. You know,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: he would say he would mention d why every time
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: he had a mic in his front in his hand.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: And I don't think that's that's not for nothing, because
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: if a guy, if Mike is that guy right now,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: that's going to anchor that whole thing. And he has
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: his guys that he likes or he believes that's going
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: to help him play better. Those guys will be taken
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: care of. So I think the fact that you have
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: him back now is a great thing. Hardgrave and the
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Packers do business that way by giving the money up
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: front and you can prove it the rest of the way.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: That seems to be a shared compromise that players and
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: the organization do enjoy having. And we'll see in an
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: action Billy, and hopefully a big start to the season
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: for Lucas Vands, because I think a lot of people
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: are pointing to him saying, this has got to be
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: it put up or shut up time for you, and
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: you've got to have a big year because we need
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: your pass rush and we need you and you need
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: it for your career.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: As the as the coverage of training camp ramps up
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: coming up next week and we get into full tilt
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: and then, I mean, three weeks from yesterday, the Packers
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: play a preseason game.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Crazy. That's just wild. And we're aware of that obviously
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: because what we're doing.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: But well, and I know I know you're ready for it.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I know you've been counting down the days.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Well, but you two this time of year, yah, counting
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: down the days, and ready is we hope we hopefully ready? Yes,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: which which name are you most excited to hear the
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: updates from?
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Which name?
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Are you going to be sitting there tapping the fingers
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: and continuing to refresh at Arman?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Sorry?
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: And the old account is the new account again for
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: you to be able to see who's making splash plays
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: or who are you going to be frustrated when you're
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: not seeing the entire gaggle of beat writers posting about
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the play by play.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Well, it's gonna be tough for either our receivers or
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: our secondary because one is gonna beat the other one
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: on a lot of these plays. And unfortunately, in training camp,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: unfortunately you'll always.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Have a winner, but you always have a loser. So
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be if.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Our receivers are making great plays, that's great, who's getting
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: beat on our secondary? And if our secondary is making
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: great plays, that's great. Why aren't Jordan Love and our
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: receivers completing ball? So that's gonna be an interesting one.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: But Billy and I know we're gonna do this again.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: We don't like it's talking about kickers, Tray and Mack
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: is gonna be a big focus of camp. I think
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be a lot of what we have here
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: in the kicking game, because it's a situation where you
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: don't to talk about it until you don't have a
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: guy that's consistent. And that's exactly what the Packers had
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: and didn't have last year. They had a guy until
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: they didn't. So what will Trace Mack bring to the table?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: What will he be? We're gonna be kind of probably
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: magnifying what he does or doesn't make. So that's gonna
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: be a big one. And Tucker Craft, I mean, he's
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: coming off the injury, and will he be the next
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: in line? He'd get a deal probably, Yeah, he's definitely
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: next in line.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the craft I mean now, he
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: said it very curtly. He's gonna be ready, you're ready.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: He's eyeing a week one, and that he was gonna
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: be ready to go in that train camp. I would
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: assume that there would be a little bit of a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: ramp up for him getting there. Now, maybe there will,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: maybe there won't be, and maybe it'll be instant that
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: he is into team drills and everything. But if he's
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: with the rehab group, he might not be able to
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: say and talk a lot about it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: That.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: That's one of the restrictions when you get up there
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: is that you can't talk about mentioned too much of
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: the rehab group, give any kind of play by play
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: what they're doing. But last year it was hard not
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: to see what Watson was doing on the rehab side,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: like that looks explosive, that looks that looks exciting. He
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: looks like he's going to be ready to play sooner
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: rather than later. We can give that kind of inklings
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: on Tucker Craft and hopefully that that is the case.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: You mentioned trace Mack not really a battle, but he
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: is in the battle with a couple of things, obviously
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: his own personal right foot. Figuring out how we correct
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the misses that happened in mini camp, which was to
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: the right side and to the left side a lot
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: easier when you know, hey, we're pushing everything line right. Okay,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: that's that's a swing problem. We can correct that. Well,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: we're missing both sides in this year, right, Lucas have
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: her sick, is going to have to I think maybe
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: miss one to two kicks all camp and watch trace Mack.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Really collapse to win the job. Like, is that fair?
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: He's he's a seventh round pick. Sure, but they are
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: sixth round pick. Sure, they traded two seventh round picks
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: to go get him. They needed, they wanted identified that
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: he was the best kicker in the draft. You're not
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: cutting that guy unless it is blatantly, blatantly, blatantly.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Obvious that he can't do the job.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a hard thing I believe to show and
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: indicate in five weeks time.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, And you have to be really good to if you're.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: A if you're a personnel guy or GM, you have
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: to be really willing to put your own ego and
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: check in that sense. I mean, if you if you
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: think you made a mistake, you have to come off
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: of that mistake quick. The Packers did that in ninety
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: seven with Brett Conway. It was very probably tough because
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: he was a third rounder, you know, and they're like,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: we need to have a future at this position. It
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: was awful in camp long well was great. We're just
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: cutting bait. Moving on the bucks to that with Joe Alexander,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: which is rare at the time.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, very rare. Good good call back. I don't know.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I agree with you, Billy, even though it's
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: only a six round pick and a lot of fans
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: might side eye those picks as like, well, whatever, those.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Are important picks.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: And you when you spend a pick on a kicker,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: you probably gonna be fully invested in that pot, committed
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: to make sure it works.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: And the Packers seem to be, I mean at least
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: for a year.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: If she were with Andnters Carlson, that was basically that
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: was the same equivalent, right, he was a six round
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: pick him out of Auburn.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: No, so that that's a big That's a big part
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: of it. Uh.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: But the the other one that you know, obviously I
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: think through camp Trace Max is gonna have to battle
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: is the uh is the angst that comes from the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: crowd every single time that you start kicking right like
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I mean there right like there, there will be a
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: nervous send your energy, I would imagine from the rain
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Inski field stands and once they start playing preseason games
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: every time he lines up, because uh, we've we've seen
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: kicking be a problem for a while, especially when you
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: leave seven points on the board during a playoff game
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: and then you get bounced back.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we feel like one of those uh dogs you
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: get at the shelter where they've been like with kickers abuse.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Not the special team side for a while. We're always
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: afraid in a way.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: That's why sky Moore has a chance to be a
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: lot of people's very much favorite low level.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Pack just like mcle we thought McCole Hartman. You were
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: hoping mCOL Hartman would be. It's a great point, Billy.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I think the Packers are so committed to trying to
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: solve their kicking problems long term. They're they're just like
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna move, We're gonna move into another
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: draft pick. We're gonna do all we can identify the
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: one kicker we want, draft him and hope this is
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: our you know, our guy for ten years. It's not
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: that easy, right, I mean, obviously we know about kicking,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: and the threshold is just getting higher and higher of
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: expecting like performance in kicking now where it's like you
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: can't miss kicks anymore because people remember that. But Packers
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: are trying. Then this is the next foray into it.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: The other specialist I remember was b J.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Sander.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: I think the Packers drafted a punter b J. Sander
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: that didn't want Yes, you just don't know it'll it'll
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: happen Sander was h third round pick's high fun. Maybe
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: it feels like the higher they went for a guy,
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: the worse it became. So it was quite interesting. And
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: I guess the other one, Billy, in terms of that,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: pops into my head. For guys, I'm intrigued to watch
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: and excited for the.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Third round pick in two thousand and four out of
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: the Ohio state universe.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, third round Ohio State.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, despite just one year, won the Ray Guy Award
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: and then got drafted.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: The Packers made their move.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: However, the following year he played in NFL Europe. Punted
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: respectably in the first half.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Of the season.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: However, the cold weather started in Green Bay, he struggled
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: again and ended up near the bottom.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: In all that.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what we said about JK. Scott a lot
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: early on. Is JK Scott a great starts to the year,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: And he had, I mean he had some cold following
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: a little bit, but then when the weather started things
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: were inconsistent and turned around.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: So that's one that's a whole nother storyline.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: That is, that is a whole other can of worms.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Somebody I didn't anticipate. I was talking about the holder
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: in punters still now for the LA Chargers Marshawn Lloyd,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: though I think it too cold for him.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: That's the other one in my head, like our finally
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: our chance to see him healthy, especially when we might
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: need him the most. Right there's a big role possibly
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: there for Marshawn Lloyd.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: What will he do? How does he look? Can he
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: be on the field.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: That's the one that I'm also thinking about looking forward
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: to seeing.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited to know that day after right, like
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: you have the big day and back on the field.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: The next day. Yeah, because you're like the rebound and
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: how you feel that.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: That's obviously the number one for him because every time
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Arman he has touched the football, you do you do
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: realize like, okay' he's got something there, He's got some talent.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I will caution even though very excited to be at
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: be uh covering the Green Bay Packers and training camp
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: right around the corner.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: And cannot wait for all of it.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: We also talked a lot last year about Matthew Golden
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: was gonna jump all year off the page. He did
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: jump off the tape early and then disappeared for a while,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: but we saw some of that some of that work.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: How he comes back in year number two and the
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: potential you know, not gonna see my man bulked up.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I would assume I've been doing a lot of fishing though,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I've been seeing him hanging out, relaxing, vibing, getting ready
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: for the year, and keeping kind of a low profile
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: to hopefully have a mass year or two. Because how
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: their offense is built and the guys they let walk
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: out the door of Don Tavian Wicks and Romeo Dobbs,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: either Jayden Reid or Matthew Golden. One of those two
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: needs to make up for the significant volume production that
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs gave you week in and week out. Now,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I know both of them didn't have the full chance,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: requisite chance a year ago because of Reid's injury and
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: the in and out nature of Golden his injury as well.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: He got hurt and that that really slowed his momentum
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: there in the middle of the year. But understanding now
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: what's required and how you are going to have to
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: age throughout the year for Golden, those are no numbers
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: to sneeze at for what Romeo Dobbs gave you a
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: year ago. Almost eight hundred yards and what nine touchdowns production.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of production to be able to fill up,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: and you need more of it if you're gonna be
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: able to get home. Eight seven seven seven nine four one,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: nine seven three. We'll go to Who's Hot Who's Not?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Our hero of the day? Coming up on the other
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: side as well. That is Arman Sorry, and I'm Billy Schmid.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: You are on the nicolay Lo dot com talking text
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: line at eight seven seven seventy nine to.

• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Bore one night three, Arman Sorry, Yeah, is over on
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: the other side, and he has been anxiously in highly
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: i don't know, highly anticipated all these different clips that
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: we're getting from Yannis and the podcast that he's going
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: on in the media tour that's now happening now very much.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: We can find every microphone very interesting. For the last
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: two years, you haven't been able to find him answering
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: any questions into a microphone outside of on the analysis
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: and at those points and times obviously not answering much
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: about what was happening, but now we're talking about it.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Now he's talking about it. However, yesterday.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: The audio not good because it is a Greek podcast
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: that he was on.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: But he mentioned.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Something that I know Armand's been waiting for. Not what
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: is he planning to do with the beautiful home that
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: and compound that he has here in Milwaukee Hills there,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: but about his wish to return to Milwaukee one day now.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: The transcript by the Heat Central, which I gotta give
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: some credit to Heat Central. I'm not gonna be following.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: I get a lot of their content throughout this whole thing.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Whoever's running that Heat Central account is working.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: It's a good fan.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: This aggregation of anything related to Giannis or heat or
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: anything that they wanted to be a part of it.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: If you're a heat fan, I mean you can get
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: it all there. He covers it.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, have massive props to the work ethic. Transcribe
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: this from the you wanna you want to pronounce that
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: podcast name. The quote is I really believed that I
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: would stay in Milwaukee for my entire career, but then
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I saw I was in my comfort zone. I wanted
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: something different. I am happy to be in Miami. I
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: can't lie. I don't feel comfortable in Miami. I'll go
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: there and do my best. I bleed purple and green
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: basketball wise. I had a great time there. That will
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: always be in my heart, that will never leave. I
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: don't know, but I hope when the Miami chapter closes,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: and I don't know when or if it will, and
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many years I'll spend there, but
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I wish to return to Milwaukee if they'll have me.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Wow, how about that? I mean, that's amazing, amazing words
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: to hear. I think if you're a Bucks fan, you
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: already get cold feet.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: I think there's no question this has been a man
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: in inner turmoil, and I think it's not that crazy
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: to think about when anyone has a big change in
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: their life, whether or not you're a very public, rich
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: figure like he is or not, you still have those
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: same emotions.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: And he's dealing with it and deal with.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: The reality that he has to have one or the other,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: and it's going to be a difficult decision. I think
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: sometimes we worry about translation. Does it get lost there?
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I think the comfort part might be dangerous. I think
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: we've heard enough of him talk about the importance of
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: feeling uncomfortable in growth. So maybe his heat fan or
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: fans are like, how can you say you're not comfortable here?
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I think his point was he knew he was position
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: was comfortable in Milwaukee. Yeah, so they wanted to make
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: sure he didn't stun his growth based on that.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Right, that's a.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Really that's a good explanation, and I agree with it
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: that that there's a there's a a competitive nature to
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: needing to be comfortable being uncomfortable.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: That's something the coaches will talk about all the time.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: He's talked about it.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: When he's talked about it, like you have to be pushed,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: you have to be be continually motivated, and and if
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: you feel like you are losing some of that drive
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: that made you who you are, you got to go
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: find it again and reclaim it. He also continued that
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: he admits he was worried that Bucks fans would feel
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: betrayed after if he asked for a trade quote. Yes,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I certainly did. You can't make a decision based on
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: what others would think. The opinions of others never feed you, right,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I asked people who I love, what do you think?
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I also wanted to get different opinions other than my
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: agents or friends.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: I was scared a little bit.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I thought people would say, after thirteen years, you were
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: practically raised here, we loved you, this is your team,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: and you leave us that. People didn't react that way
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: at all. I saw it was something they wanted for me.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's he's got a point that maybe
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: that's what he's seeing because like a lot didn't, but
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: a lot also did. There's some of both, And I
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: think that's totally fair to say we see a lot
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: of Bucks fans right now, I think, understandably so dealing
• 38:38
