- 0:18Speaker 1: Just search Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. You are looking live. Now,
- 0:23Speaker 1: gather around because it's time to huddle up.
- 0:26Speaker 2: We know exactly what we got to do.
- 0:28Speaker 1: All right?
- 0:28Speaker 2: Let's go out and kick some shit. One, two, three.
- 0:30Speaker 2: We got some big plays coming.
- 0:32Speaker 1: What the hell's going on?
- 0:35Speaker 4: That son of a gun is thick.
- 0:38Speaker 3: Welcome to the huddle.
- 1:03Speaker 2: A lot of trouble to be had in the afternoon
- 1:05Speaker 2: as the happy hour, happy hour huddle returns the four
- 1:09Speaker 2: o'clock hour of the huddle sans drew Olson today, as
- 1:12Speaker 2: he's on some vocal maintenance, get ready for the world
- 1:15Speaker 2: series coming up on Friday night. And we are now
- 1:19Speaker 2: joined and L to the host. Big L being held
- 1:25Speaker 2: by me because I was not in line in lockstep
- 1:30Speaker 2: with the planning of the brand-new afternoon huddle, which features
- 1:34Speaker 2: Shanna Quinn at 4 o'clock on Wednesdays.
- 1:36Speaker 3: Yes, clearly Drew Olsen dropped the ball.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Why is it your L, Billy? That could be my L, too.
- 1:44Speaker 3: We love him, but we can talk trash. He's not here.
- 1:46Speaker 2: I don't mind that. I frequent in the pointing thumbs
- 1:50Speaker 2: and not fingers. That's nice. That is my problem. I
- 1:54Speaker 2: should have remembered it because when Shayla walks around in
- 1:57Speaker 2: this building. Big things happen. Shayna walks into a meeting,
- 2:00Speaker 2: she potentially gets two new jobs.
- 2:02Speaker 4: That is true.
- 2:04Speaker 2: That is a true thing. She is a mover and
- 2:07Speaker 2: a shaker. And for her to have to be the
- 2:09Speaker 2: one to walk in here and say, am I on
- 2:11Speaker 2: with you? I feel like I disrespected royalty, so I apologize.
- 2:14Speaker 3: You're very sweet. I appreciate you. But yeah, no, that's true.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Every time I walk into a meeting, it is a
- 2:18Speaker 3: new title.
- 2:19Speaker 2: It's incredible. It's incredible stuff.
- 2:21Speaker 3: It's not that I'm important. I'm a sucker. I don't
- 2:24Speaker 3: say no.
- 2:25Speaker 2: She does have a... You're talented and important. Yeah, does
- 2:28Speaker 2: have a problem with that one, two-letter word that a
- 2:31Speaker 2: lot of us have a problem with.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:33Speaker 2: A lot of us are not very good at saying no.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know what? We have a good time here.
- 2:37Speaker 3: And this is what makes it all worth it.
- 2:39Speaker 2: We're having it right now. And this is one of
- 2:41Speaker 2: the incredible joys of us moving to the afternoon. Not
- 2:44Speaker 2: only the fact that we don't wake up at four
- 2:46Speaker 2: in the morning.
- 2:46Speaker 3: Oh, I love that for you, that you no longer
- 2:48Speaker 3: have your alarm going.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Off that early. But now that we get to be
- 2:51Speaker 2: joined by a.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Lover of the Buffalo Bills, not a lover of the
- 2:55Speaker 2: Chicago Bears. That we get to celebrate the afternoon slot
- 2:59Speaker 2: on FM 106.1, which is also an award-winning radio station
- 3:02Speaker 2: that you need to be frequenting every time.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 3:05Speaker 2: But they grade trades in real time, Shanna.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 3:10Speaker 2: I think we're winning this trade. All due respect to Dolph.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Oh, Scott Dolphin is my dude. But I understand because
- 3:17Speaker 3: you're kicking out a Bears fan, like you said, and
- 3:19Speaker 3: you're getting a Bills fan.
- 3:21Speaker 2: And we're getting away from a Hawkeye before the Halloween
- 3:24Speaker 2: matchup of Iowa-Wisconsin. Like, this feels like a good win
- 3:28Speaker 2: for the huddle. So thank you for that. Yes, thank you.
- 3:31Speaker 3: I appreciate that.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Anybody would rather have a Bills fan than a Bears
- 3:33Speaker 2: fan around.
- 3:34Speaker 3: I know, but Scott Dolphin is a gem of all gems.
- 3:37Speaker 2: He's the gem. I love him. Billy said it, not me.
- 3:40Speaker 2: I'm not so sure it's an upgrade yet.
- 3:42Speaker 3: I get to relax this weekend. Besides watching the Brewers,
- 3:44Speaker 3: of course, but no Bills game this weekend. A little
- 3:47Speaker 3: bye week.
- 3:47Speaker 5: They got the bye week, and that'll be fun. It's
- 3:51Speaker 5: sort of when, I don't know how you guys feel.
- 3:53Speaker 5: We're feeling it this week with the Brewers having this
- 3:55Speaker 5: long layoff before the World Series.
- 3:57Speaker 2: You love your teams.
- 3:58Speaker 5: You love the passion, the excitement that goes along with
- 4:00Speaker 5: following them, but it can be an emotional burden sometimes.
- 4:03Speaker 5: So sometimes it is nice to have a little relaxation.
- 4:06Speaker 2: And not having to worry about a game.
- 4:07Speaker 3: For sure.
- 4:07Speaker 5: Not that you're not excited when they come, but it's like, okay,
- 4:10Speaker 5: a little bit of relaxing. But it'll be going on
- 4:13Speaker 5: in your house anyway with the World.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Series, right?
- 4:15Speaker 3: Well, yeah, for sure. And I do have to say,
- 4:16Speaker 3: humble brag. So when I moved here two years later,
- 4:19Speaker 3: the Bucs won their championships.
- 4:21Speaker 2: That's right. You were the good luck charm there. You're
- 4:23Speaker 2: bringing us trophies.
- 4:24Speaker 3: So since my hometown teams, the Buffalo Bills and the
- 4:27Speaker 3: Buffalo Sabres, have never won national championships.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Which they aren't going to, I mean, like, ever win, right?
- 4:32Speaker 2: That's just what happens in Buffalo. Okay, rude. Rude. I
- 4:36Speaker 2: want them to, trust me. You know I do. The
- 4:38Speaker 2: Sabres were close. They were beating the dummy outside of
- 4:41Speaker 2: the games this year.
- 4:43Speaker 3: They were really, really good this past year. Usually the
- 4:45Speaker 3: Bills and the Sabres are never good the same year,
- 4:47Speaker 3: so it was kind of like a fluke for us, but...
- 4:49Speaker 3: So now, you know, I got all in on the
- 4:52Speaker 3: Brewers and then they started to do really good. And
- 4:54Speaker 3: now they're going to the World Series. And the same
- 4:56Speaker 3: thing happened with the Bucs that run. Like I never,
- 4:58Speaker 3: I never cheered for a basketball team. I was like, okay,
- 5:00Speaker 3: I'll hop on this. And then they kept going.
- 5:02Speaker 2: You're a Brewers fan.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:03Speaker 5: I mean, being from Buffalo, is there like some sort
- 5:05Speaker 5: of like... I mean, I know there's some sort of
- 5:07Speaker 5: Toronto Buffalo thing going on.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Not really.
- 5:10Speaker 2: People both like, do they expect you to be Yankee fan?
- 5:12Speaker 2: You're like, get out of here.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Like, no, I was a Yankee fan, but mostly because
- 5:15Speaker 3: my GMA race was a Yankee fan.
- 5:18Speaker 2: It's New York.
- 5:19Speaker 5: It's hard not to be like in that environment.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Yeah. We would go to see them more so play
- 5:24Speaker 3: Toronto than we would in the city because Toronto's two
- 5:27Speaker 3: hours from Buffalo and the city's like seven and a
- 5:29Speaker 3: half hours. But yeah, so I'm all in on the Brewers.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Garrett Mitchell, what's up?
- 5:34Speaker 1: Hey.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Hard not to enjoy that one.
- 5:37Speaker 3: Yeah, hey to your wife, too. She's hot and talented, too.
- 5:40Speaker 2: She's a big-time influence. They're having a baby, right? Yes,
- 5:43Speaker 2: she's pregnant. They're having a baby. Haley was on one
- 5:46Speaker 2: of the early starts of, and this makes some folks
- 5:50Speaker 2: sound very, very creepy, but when Garrett was drafted in
- 5:53Speaker 2: the first round, it was kind of like the, probably
- 5:56Speaker 2: would have been Vine.
- 5:57Speaker 3: Oh, that much of a throwback.
- 5:59Speaker 2: I don't know if it would have been full vine,
- 6:00Speaker 2: but like earliest of Tik TOK early dancing influencer NIL era,
- 6:07Speaker 2: just before NIL came in.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Okay.
- 6:09Speaker 2: She's a very popular player on the Oregon softball team
- 6:13Speaker 2: and doing the post game show. And all of a
- 6:16Speaker 2: sudden Garrett Mitchell gets drafted in the first round and
- 6:18Speaker 2: he's dancing on a Tik TOK or an Instagram. There
- 6:21Speaker 2: are a lot of folks saying, what is this?
- 6:24Speaker 3: Why are we doing this?
- 6:25Speaker 2: What are we doing here?
- 6:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:26Speaker 2: What are we doing here? There's not a batting cage
- 6:28Speaker 2: that we could be in. There's not film we could
- 6:30Speaker 2: be watching. Instead, we're doing the... Don't you love when
- 6:33Speaker 2: a guy's out to eat? We're hitting the nay-nay and
- 6:36Speaker 2: the whip in the same one.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 6:37Speaker 2: You see a player having dinner and people are like,
- 6:39Speaker 2: why is he home watching film? I can't stand when
- 6:41Speaker 2: people do that.
- 6:42Speaker 3: Oh, people get so heated about it.
- 6:43Speaker 5: That's like the lowest form of fandom besides blaming the
- 6:46Speaker 5: medical staff for it.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Okay, well, your boy was on the lowest level at
- 6:49Speaker 2: that moment. Because at that moment, that was not cool.
- 6:51Speaker 2: That was not as cool as it was now.
- 6:53Speaker 3: I don't care. He can do whatever.
- 6:55Speaker 2: He has now butted into an incredible star. And there's
- 6:59Speaker 2: not only folks that are feeling that for Shanna. Our
- 7:01Speaker 2: friend Hunter Baumgart, who was in that seat just before,
- 7:03Speaker 2: had been beating the Garrett Mitchell drum all year long.
- 7:05Speaker 2: That's so important.
- 7:06Speaker 3: I would text him and be like, that's a good-looking man.
- 7:09Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, home run. And I
- 7:10Speaker 3: was like, okay, I'm not saying that it's me, but
- 7:13Speaker 3: it could be me. I also love McGill so much.
- 7:16Speaker 3: His energy is my favorite. Like that clip that went
- 7:19Speaker 3: viral of him being like, I got more beer, boys.
- 7:22Speaker 2: It's one of the best videos you can get. It's
- 7:24Speaker 2: all about vibes.
- 7:25Speaker 3: He's the best, yeah. And then, obviously, I love Wild Bill, too.
- 7:29Speaker 4: I love him.
- 7:32Speaker 5: Hard not to get Contreras' vibes. He's had a great playoff.
- 7:35Speaker 5: A great one, and in the little mini-movie that the
- 7:37Speaker 5: Brewers have put out on social media that we.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Watch out there, there is a young lady, I think
- 7:42Speaker 2: it's after the home run in Game 2, has a
- 7:45Speaker 2: sweet sign that just says, DM me back, Contreras. Oh,
- 7:48Speaker 2: I love her.
- 7:49Speaker 3: Shoot your shot, baby.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Shoot your shot. They're waiting there at Contreras 42.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Oh, he's engaged?
- 7:57Speaker 2: Adamas' sister.
- 7:58Speaker 5: Right, Willie Adamas? Yeah, they were dating and stuff. That's
- 8:01Speaker 5: why everybody was hoping for a while Willie would stay.
- 8:03Speaker 5: I think that was, that's the right, am I right
- 8:06Speaker 5: with that, Billy?
- 8:06Speaker 2: It is Willie's sister, yes.
- 8:08Speaker 3: Oh, interesting.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Yeah, there was, because, yes, yes. For one second I
- 8:13Speaker 2: thought it was, but Contreras, I don't believe it's his sister.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Can I get the hot take real quick?
- 8:17Speaker 2: Please do.
- 8:18Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 8:18Speaker 3: People are probably going to get upset with me about this.
- 8:20Speaker 2: It is hot take, hum take, by the way. We
- 8:22Speaker 2: have not really talked much about that.
- 8:23Speaker 1: My bad.
- 8:23Speaker 2: I did not fire that one in. Another L being
- 8:25Speaker 2: held over on this side. First hot take comes in
- 8:28Speaker 2: here from Shanna Quinn. All right, let's take it.
- 8:29Speaker 3: I think people are going to get upset with me,
- 8:31Speaker 3: but I'm very sorry. The uke, hex, and letters. You
- 8:36Speaker 3: know how Pat will be like, I got another.
- 8:38Speaker 2: Sure, sure, sure.
- 8:40Speaker 3: I think it's really cringy.
- 8:40Speaker 2: You're not a fan? No, that's not an unusual take.
- 8:43Speaker 2: I mean, some people believe that.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Listen, I love Uke. I am all in on the
- 8:47Speaker 3: Angels and the outfield vibes with this team, that he
- 8:50Speaker 3: is there. I'm a very spiritual person, and I think
- 8:53Speaker 3: people show signs that they're there, and I think he
- 8:55Speaker 3: is there for them, and I love that, but I
- 8:58Speaker 3: don't like that.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Now, Yelich did say, he goes, yeah, Murph really thinks
- 9:02Speaker 2: it's funny. He kind of gave it the, you know,
- 9:06Speaker 2: dad really likes it, so it's going to stay and
- 9:09Speaker 2: we're not changing it. But last year when he first
- 9:12Speaker 2: did it, Shanna. It upset people. It upset people. It
- 9:14Speaker 2: got people very upset.
- 9:16Speaker 5: Really?
- 9:16Speaker 2: Our friend Timmy. That was one of the bigger arguments
- 9:20Speaker 2: Timmy and I have gotten on the radio. Got into it.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Where I was like, brother.
- 9:24Speaker 3: I think once it's fine.
- 9:27Speaker 2: We didn't really think that. that he left this for
- 9:31Speaker 2: the last 10 months. That was your thing. That was
- 9:33Speaker 2: waiting in the oven, just waiting to be pulled out
- 9:36Speaker 2: and busted out when they beat the Chicago Cubs. But
- 9:39Speaker 2: there was a feeling that he played with a lot
- 9:40Speaker 2: of people's emotions and thoughts and dreams and hopes that
- 9:44Speaker 2: there would still be that connection to this team as
- 9:48Speaker 2: forever will be the spirit of Brewers baseball.
- 9:50Speaker 3: And I love that. I love the spirit behind it.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Like I said, I'm a big believer in that and
- 9:54Speaker 3: signs and whatnot. I was just like, if.
- 9:58Speaker 5: He made it more obvious, it wasn't real. Maybe I
- 10:00Speaker 5: think people now understand it's not. So to me, it's
- 10:03Speaker 5: kind of, it's kind of funny that he's still doing it.
- 10:05Speaker 2: And I kind of like that. He's like, everyone called
- 10:07Speaker 2: me cringy. So I'm going to still do it. But
- 10:09Speaker 2: at the time people thought it might be real.
- 10:12Speaker 5: And because we want to believe and have faith and
- 10:14Speaker 5: buy into it, stuff like that. And that was a
- 10:17Speaker 5: big issue for a lot of people that it wasn't.
- 10:18Speaker 5: They felt like they got hoodwinked. I think now as
- 10:23Speaker 5: we go on, it's a little more jovial.
- 10:27Speaker 2: The post-game speech is not an easy one to nail
- 10:30Speaker 2: because you only get one chance at it. And you
- 10:32Speaker 2: got a lot of people that are, one, just waiting
- 10:34Speaker 2: for you to shut up. I think that the post-game
- 10:37Speaker 2: speech for the manager, very similar to the best man speech.
- 10:42Speaker 2: It's not going to change the night. You might think
- 10:45Speaker 2: it's going to. You walking in there to say it,
- 10:48Speaker 2: you really believe your words are going to set this
- 10:52Speaker 2: night off to a different level. People aren't going to
- 10:55Speaker 2: remember in 25 minutes. People are going to be pouring
- 10:57Speaker 2: champagne bottles down spots that never should be. And at
- 11:00Speaker 2: a wedding, people are going to be eating, having cake,
- 11:03Speaker 2: and going off to their merry way. They're not going
- 11:05Speaker 2: to remember your time. That one, though, you will hype
- 11:09Speaker 2: up of, I got to have some kind of bar.
- 11:11Speaker 2: And he is playing it back of, Don't look now, guys.
- 11:16Speaker 2: I got a different one. I got a better one.
- 11:18Speaker 2: I'm excited to see what the three-day pass is, though,
- 11:21Speaker 2: because that's what he said. He said Yuki told him
- 11:22Speaker 2: that he's got a three-day pass.
- 11:24Speaker 6: Oh.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Coming up this week.
- 11:25Speaker 4: Thank God.
- 11:26Speaker 2: I don't know how they CGI him in there. Yuki
- 11:28Speaker 2: would laugh at all this, though. I'm sorry. I don't know.
- 11:31Speaker 2: I believe that, too.
- 11:32Speaker 5: So that's why part of me is like he would
- 11:34Speaker 5: laugh at people thinking, making too serious of a deal
- 11:37Speaker 5: out of it.
- 11:37Speaker 3: I just, I don't know. It's too much for me.
- 11:39Speaker 3: By the way, best man speech. I will always remember
- 11:41Speaker 3: the best man speech at our wedding. Because I got
- 11:45Speaker 3: a Jordan Love jersey out of it.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Whoa. You guys had some great speeches at your wedding.
- 11:49Speaker 2: I should have done that. And Wayne did the Grand March.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Wayne Larrabee did the intro. Yeah, the Grand March. Shout
- 11:55Speaker 3: out Uncle Wayne.
- 11:56Speaker 2: That's pretty good. I had to deliver my probably one
- 12:00Speaker 2: and only best man speech this past weekend.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Really?
- 12:02Speaker 2: How'd you do, Billy? How'd it go? I never got
- 12:04Speaker 2: a chance to ask you.
- 12:05Speaker 3: I feel like both of you, because you guys are
- 12:07Speaker 3: so loved and I feel like you have a billion friends,
- 12:09Speaker 3: you had to have been in a bunch of weddings.
- 12:12Speaker 3: I'm surprised you've only been a best man once, Billy.
- 12:14Speaker 3: I know you have, Armin.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Yep.
- 12:16Speaker 2: One time for best man, I've been in a couple
- 12:19Speaker 2: of weddings. I still have some stragglers, right? I still
- 12:21Speaker 2: have some friends that are still, you know, brother.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Yeah, what are we waiting on?
- 12:26Speaker 2: Come on now.
- 12:27Speaker 5: Get you over to the jewelry center. You've got a
- 12:29Speaker 5: lot more weddings to come. I think the peak season
- 12:31Speaker 5: for you is still coming.
- 12:32Speaker 3: That's true because he is a little bit younger. Wait,
- 12:34Speaker 3: hold on. Did you start it with, because my husband
- 12:36Speaker 3: and I drink every time someone does their speech and
- 12:38Speaker 3: starts it with, for those who don't know me, I'm blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 12:42Speaker 2: Did you start with that? No, I started with the
- 12:44Speaker 2: reddest of red meat possible because I got to go second. Okay.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Can we give it up for Kayla? That was a
- 12:51Speaker 2: phenomenal speech. Oh, good one.
- 12:53Speaker 3: Great job, Kayla.
- 12:54Speaker 2: Incredible, incredible job, right? Then thanks to the mom and
- 12:58Speaker 2: dad of the bride. Oh, perfect.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Yep.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Thanks to the mother of the groom for all of
- 13:03Speaker 2: the times that she allowed me to sleep over and
- 13:05Speaker 2: then made breakfast for me in the morning before I
- 13:07Speaker 2: had to wake up and be up. It was always
- 13:09Speaker 2: good for Robin.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Sounds scandalous.
- 13:11Speaker 2: So we fired up a couple of good jokes. I
- 13:13Speaker 2: tried to keep it as quick and concise as possible. Yeah.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Um.
- 13:19Speaker 2: But I don't know. I got some people coming up
- 13:21Speaker 2: to me saying that it was great. Some people saying that, oh,
- 13:23Speaker 2: my God, it was amazing. I didn't think it was
- 13:25Speaker 2: all that special.
- 13:26Speaker 3: Bumblebrag.
- 13:26Speaker 2: I also, I think the bigger one of people not
- 13:31Speaker 2: thinking it was great was I didn't write anything down.
- 13:36Speaker 2: if I would have wrote something down, I would have
- 13:39Speaker 2: been too excited to make sure I read my quote.
- 13:42Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Right.
- 13:43Speaker 2: That's why, like when you hear Jeff Levering call the
- 13:46Speaker 2: final out of the pennant, I couldn't have written something out.
- 13:50Speaker 2: I would have messed it up. But if I just
- 13:53Speaker 2: let it spew out naturally, then maybe it will be
- 13:55Speaker 2: somewhat coherent. So there were folks that couldn't believe the
- 13:59Speaker 2: fact that I didn't have written down notes. I think
- 14:03Speaker 2: they would have found it harder to believe. But you
- 14:07Speaker 2: orate for a living, so I'm not surprised.
- 14:08Speaker 3: That's true.
- 14:09Speaker 2: You orate for a living.
- 14:11Speaker 5: Yeah, you're off the cuff. My first and only best
- 14:14Speaker 5: man speech was, to this date, I was like 24. Now,
- 14:17Speaker 5: I've stood up in like 15, 16 weddings.
- 14:19Speaker 2: I've been in a lot. No way.
- 14:20Speaker 5: I've been in a lot of weddings. You need a
- 14:23Speaker 5: men's warehouse punch card. Oh, brother, I got so much
- 14:25Speaker 5: credit at men's warehouse. I got like three free suits.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Good for you.
- 14:29Speaker 5: Because like once you spend a thousand bucks and tuxedo racking,
- 14:32Speaker 5: as we know, rental is the biggest rack in America.
- 14:35Speaker 2: For sure. The biggest rack in America. Just buy one.
- 14:37Speaker 2: You're going to get used out of it in like
- 14:39Speaker 2: two times for a freaking rental.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:41Speaker 2: And you have to give it back the next day.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Like it's like a man or whatever. Like a rental. No, no.
- 14:47Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, it's like the Gestapo on that.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Really?
- 14:51Speaker 3: 15, 16 weddings?
- 14:53Speaker 2: Oh, I could, yes.
- 14:54Speaker 5: I've had, now my, the summer I was 32, I
- 14:58Speaker 5: want to say I went to one like every week.
- 15:01Speaker 2: It was like eight weddings.
- 15:02Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 15:02Speaker 2: It was like eight weddings. It was crazy. It's coming, Billy.
- 15:05Speaker 2: That's what I have to look forward to this year?
- 15:06Speaker 5: A lot of weddings, a lot of Saturdays in the
- 15:08Speaker 5: summer that you're going to have to wear a, you know,
- 15:11Speaker 5: get hot in the summer.
- 15:12Speaker 2: Hopefully that outdoor weddings.
- 15:13Speaker 3: Speaking of weddings, I have a wedding to go to
- 15:16Speaker 3: on Friday.
- 15:17Speaker 2: That's tough. I want to listen.
- 15:19Speaker 3: And the bride is so upset about it.
- 15:22Speaker 2: She's like, I feel terrible.
- 15:23Speaker 3: Everyone's going to be watching the game. I was like, girl,
- 15:25Speaker 3: I'm going to make sure they might be watching the
- 15:28Speaker 3: game on their phones, but I'm going to make sure
- 15:30Speaker 3: they're doing it on the dance floor.
- 15:31Speaker 2: Will we get the grand march in and everything before 708?
- 15:35Speaker 2: That's the key. Get it in.
- 15:37Speaker 3: I believe so. I think she said dancing starts at
- 15:40Speaker 3: like 730. Yeah, but that's so sad if the whole
- 15:43Speaker 3: dance floor is just going to be open.
- 15:44Speaker 2: It's tough.
- 15:45Speaker 5: I went to a wedding for a former radio colleague
- 15:48Speaker 5: in 2018, Game 7 in the NLCS.
- 15:50Speaker 2: I was at the wedding. And it was a big problem.
- 15:51Speaker 3: Yeah, but the Brewers weren't in that.
- 15:53Speaker 2: No, 18.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- 15:55Speaker 2: It was Brewers-Dodgers.
- 15:56Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:57Speaker 5: And like, it was tough because the bride's dad didn't
- 16:01Speaker 5: want TVs and he wanted people to focus.
- 16:02Speaker 2: I'm like, I get it, brother. It was tough.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:05Speaker 2: It was tough. Do you want us to focus or
- 16:07Speaker 2: do you want us to leave? See, it could be
- 16:09Speaker 2: the greatest night ever. It could be the greatest night ever.
- 16:11Speaker 3: That's more of her thing, too. She was like, I
- 16:13Speaker 3: can handle it if people are watching the game on
- 16:15Speaker 3: their phone. She's like, I don't want people to leave
- 16:17Speaker 3: and go to a bar or whatever. I'm like, yeah.
- 16:20Speaker 2: It's all about the communal experience. One of the best
- 16:23Speaker 2: times that Shannon and I ever had together was watching
- 16:26Speaker 2: a Bills game at the Admiral's Christmas party that one time.
- 16:29Speaker 3: That's the thing.
- 16:29Speaker 6: Yes.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 16:30Speaker 3: We had a blast. We sat at the bar. The
- 16:32Speaker 3: players got into it. They're like, what's going on? I'm
- 16:34Speaker 3: into this. What's going on with the Bills? Yeah, it
- 16:36Speaker 3: was so fun. There was a player that was a
- 16:38Speaker 3: legit Bills fan on the Admirals.
- 16:39Speaker 2: There was. There was. There was a defenseman. I can't
- 16:41Speaker 2: remember his name. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 16:43Speaker 3: So we had a blast. We were screaming at the bar.
- 16:45Speaker 2: That was awesome. Yeah, it was a blast. I woke
- 16:47Speaker 2: up the next day with a full Domino's pizza that
- 16:49Speaker 2: I had delivered. Didn't remember it getting delivered. That's like
- 16:53Speaker 2: Billy move.
- 16:55Speaker 5: I think to your point, Billy, you always talk about
- 16:57Speaker 5: why you having weddings in October, right?
- 16:59Speaker 2: There's too much going on in October.
- 17:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:01Speaker 2: I also, yeah, that's the problem. I don't feel too
- 17:03Speaker 2: bad for your, for your friend. That's the, that's the one,
- 17:05Speaker 2: that's the one issue of in the month of October. Yeah.
- 17:10Speaker 2: She actually could have had it on Saturday. Not a
- 17:12Speaker 2: great college football slate on Saturday. Like, there were certain
- 17:16Speaker 2: individuals that got married this past weekend on Saturday. Indiana,
- 17:20Speaker 2: Ohio State?
- 17:21Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a big day.
- 17:22Speaker 2: Tennessee, Alabama? The third Saturday in October happens every year.
- 17:26Speaker 2: You know that that's Tennessee, Alabama. It's hard. There were
- 17:29Speaker 2: people that got married on the day of Mormons versus
- 17:32Speaker 2: the Catholics. Yeah, that's tough.
- 17:33Speaker 3: You can't do it.
- 17:34Speaker 2: In BYU, Notre Dame. But luckily, your friend only has
- 17:38Speaker 2: one baseball game that I have to clear out of
- 17:39Speaker 2: the way.
- 17:40Speaker 3: What are the odds? What are the odds? I just
- 17:42Speaker 3: feel bad for her, but it'll be fine. I'm going
- 17:44Speaker 3: to believe people.
- 17:45Speaker 2: 44 would be what it would come down to potentially
- 17:47Speaker 2: at that point.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:49Speaker 3: Well, it'll be fun. We're still going to have a blast.
- 17:51Speaker 2: They're going to have a great time. The dance floor
- 17:53Speaker 2: will be packed. There will just be a couple of
- 17:55Speaker 2: folks that just say. You just need somebody sitting at
- 17:58Speaker 2: the bar with the pointer.
- 17:59Speaker 3: What's the song that would get you guys on the
- 18:01Speaker 3: dance floor that you'd be like, okay, you know what?
- 18:02Speaker 2: I got to go out there and dance. All of
- 18:03Speaker 2: them for me.
- 18:04Speaker 5: But, you know, I love getting on the dance floor
- 18:07Speaker 5: at weddings. But, you know, when we got married, I said, Laura,
- 18:11Speaker 5: let's start it up with Montel. This is how we
- 18:13Speaker 5: do it.
- 18:13Speaker 2: Everyone will start.
- 18:14Speaker 3: Your wedding, the dancing was incredible.
- 18:16Speaker 2: You had a great time there. That's what I like
- 18:18Speaker 2: to hear.
- 18:18Speaker 3: His family taught us all these Armenian dances. They were amazing.
- 18:22Speaker 3: I love his family. So great. I got video and Laura's.
- 18:25Speaker 2: I got some good video.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Good times.
- 18:26Speaker 3: I didn't dance well, but I did have a good time.
- 18:28Speaker 5: That's what I like to hear. We also didn't have
- 18:30Speaker 5: like a World Series game to deal with.
- 18:32Speaker 2: The only one to me is La Bamba. La Bamba's
- 18:35Speaker 2: a banger, dude. Yeah, you get La Bamba, then I'll
- 18:36Speaker 2: get out there. Otherwise, you'll see me over by the
- 18:40Speaker 2: open bar generally for the entire night. I believe you'll
- 18:43Speaker 2: absolutely be involved in a lot more than just La Bamba.
- 18:45Speaker 3: Billy definitely dances.
- 18:46Speaker 2: There's no way.
- 18:47Speaker 3: Yes, you definitely dance.
- 18:50Speaker 2: I got bad. I got yelled at a couple of
- 18:53Speaker 2: times this past weekend because I wasn't dancing.
- 18:56Speaker 3: I've seen you dance before.
- 18:57Speaker 2: I'm going to ask.
- 18:58Speaker 3: Your wife more.
- 18:59Speaker 2: I'm a good dancer. Kind of like Murph said earlier
- 19:02Speaker 2: today on Dan Patrick. Listen, there's a couple of things
- 19:04Speaker 2: that I will be braggadocious about. I am a good dancer.
- 19:07Speaker 3: Good for you.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Yeah, I am a good dancer. I believe it. But
- 19:10Speaker 2: I can only bust it out at certain times. Maybe
- 19:14Speaker 2: next week, Wednesday at 4 o'clock, we'll have a throwback
- 19:16Speaker 2: old school Hunter dance party. Ooh, I love that. All
- 19:20Speaker 2: wedding hits?
- 19:21Speaker 3: Has to be Shania Twain on. Oh, Hunter says absolutely not.
- 19:24Speaker 3: He's outside and he's saying no.
- 19:26Speaker 2: What's that about?
- 19:27Speaker 3: We'll play you some Russell Dickerson.
- 19:29Speaker 2: You'll be fine.
- 19:29Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 19:30Speaker 2: We'll play Macarena. We're getting everybody on the dance floor. Oh, shoot.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Russell Dickerson, Blue Tacoma might not be the one that
- 19:36Speaker 2: gets everybody on the dance floor.
- 19:37Speaker 3: This song came... No, that's why I said happened to me.
- 19:39Speaker 3: This song came out before Hunter was even a thought.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Oh, this was a big one. The better one would
- 19:44Speaker 2: be what's the song that gets you off of the
- 19:46Speaker 2: dance floor? Because it was always.
- 19:49Speaker 3: all that. Oh, I hate that.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Because there was always the quick one would
- 19:53Speaker 2: be I'll be by Edwin McCain. And then there was
- 19:55Speaker 2: the rush of five folks that were You were hoping
- 20:01Speaker 2: to potentially dance. If not, all right, well, sweet. I
- 20:03Speaker 2: guess we got to go to the bathroom. That's when
- 20:04Speaker 2: we go to the drink line. I guess we're going
- 20:05Speaker 2: to go get a drink. I guess we're going to
- 20:06Speaker 2: go walk over here. Check out the desserts. Shanna, thank

- 22:01Speaker 2: Fitbit or a ring heart rate monitor, Old school pedometer
- 22:06Speaker 2: they used to have during gym class where you'd have

- 22:26Speaker 2: because it'll definitely help you ease the tension, relax, and enjoy...
- 22:32Speaker 2: the first World Series in this town in 44 years. Now,
- 22:34Speaker 2: that is where our conversation for 420, what are you
- 22:39Speaker 2: high story, comes from. And Armin Sarian wanted to hold
- 22:41Speaker 2: it and wanted to hold on. As our friend, Patrick... Zaloopski. Zaloopski. Zaloopski.
- 22:49Speaker 2: You could have knocked me over the feather. I did
- 22:50Speaker 2: not know. Patty Z. I didn't know who the Rays
- 22:53Speaker 2: owner was from Adam until this morning. Now, they did
- 22:55Speaker 2: just recently get sold. I believe last year the sale
- 22:59Speaker 2: to Mr. Zaloopski became official.
- 23:02Speaker 5: Yeah, 25 with a group of investors that entered in
- 23:05Speaker 5: negotiations to purchase the Rays. And not move them out
- 23:09Speaker 5: of Tampa Bay. Yeah, their first notion was to threaten
- 23:12Speaker 5: to move them to Orlando if they didn't get the deal,
- 23:15Speaker 5: the ownership deal. So now I think they have the
- 23:18Speaker 5: deal in place for the new stadium.
- 23:19Speaker 2: They've got it. They've got the deal for the new stadium.
- 23:21Speaker 2: It's going to happen. They're going to be in Tampa
- 23:23Speaker 2: all day. They're going to stay in Tampa. However, Mr. Zalupski,
- 23:27Speaker 2: Arman Sarian, doesn't think. The Rays fans are going to
- 23:31Speaker 2: stay in Tampa. You ever hear of Dream Finders Homes, Billy?
- 23:35Speaker 2: This is what this guy did. I've heard of My
- 23:37Speaker 2: Lottery Dream Home.
- 23:38Speaker 5: He's basically a house flipper. Now, who isn't these days
- 23:41Speaker 5: on HGTV trying to flip houses? I guess he did
- 23:43Speaker 5: successful enough to become a billionaire and buy this team,
- 23:46Speaker 5: so congratulations to him. Now, he's a Stetson Hatter. He
- 23:51Speaker 5: graduated from Stetson University.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Those are the Hatters. One of my more fun... Could
- 23:56Speaker 2: be a Mad Hatter. Yeah, one of the more fun
- 23:58Speaker 2: mascot names, but... Now, listen, this guy's probably a good guy.
- 24:02Speaker 2: I know what he's doing here. When I'm going to
- 24:04Speaker 2: play this audio, he's got a pander to his fan base.
- 24:06Speaker 5: He's got to kind of like carry the flag for
- 24:09Speaker 5: Tampa Bay's raise nation.
- 24:10Speaker 2: If there is one.
- 24:12Speaker 5: But listen, I know what he's doing. So I'm not
- 24:14Speaker 5: that mad about it, but I do think it's a
- 24:16Speaker 5: little funny. And it made me say, what are you high?
- 24:19Speaker 5: This is him in the locker room during the champagne
- 24:21Speaker 5: celebration of the LCS, trying to defend his fan base.
- 24:25Speaker 4: This narrative that Tampa Bay fans don't show up is
- 24:27Speaker 4: total nonsense. It was as loud in there tonight as
- 24:31Speaker 4: I've ever heard for a baseball game. My entire life.
- 24:34Speaker 4: It was unbelievable. And we need these fans to show
- 24:36Speaker 4: up in Milwaukee and we're going to take over Milwaukee.
- 24:40Speaker 2: We're going to take over Milwaukee belly. There he is.
- 24:43Speaker 5: We're going to take over. Milwaukee was his claim, his hope.
- 24:47Speaker 5: And I'm sorry, that's a pipe dream. You're not going
- 24:50Speaker 5: to take over Milwaukee. Your fans will not be taken
- 24:52Speaker 5: over Milwaukee.
- 24:53Speaker 2: It ain't going to happen. And all I can say
- 24:55Speaker 2: is Patrick's Lupski. What are you high? Ah, maybe some
- 24:59Speaker 2: happy place. Hemp.com, uh, using promo code huddle. Now I
- 25:02Speaker 2: don't know. Zalupski likes a deal. He probably does. If he, uh,
- 25:06Speaker 2: turned that little fortune, uh, company into the fortune to
- 25:10Speaker 2: buy the Tampa rays, he probably likes the value found
- 25:12Speaker 2: a little bit of a value with Tampa rays. I
- 25:14Speaker 2: got bad news for you. There's no values to be
- 25:15Speaker 2: had out here with tickets to the world series. And
- 25:19Speaker 2: if you're going to one and you are a Tampa
- 25:21Speaker 2: rays fan, uh, I don't know how on earth you
- 25:24Speaker 2: settled upon flying up here to go to the game
- 25:28Speaker 2: because there is a lot of accessibility to tickets down
- 25:34Speaker 2: in the Clearwater, St. Pete, Tampa area. And up here,
- 25:38Speaker 2: no can do'sville baby doll. I love the fact that
- 25:41Speaker 2: he laid into it though and said, no, we're taking
- 25:43Speaker 2: that thing over. He's trying.
- 25:44Speaker 5: I mean, he, and I'm really not upset. Cause like,
- 25:46Speaker 5: he's got to do that a little bit. He's got,
- 25:47Speaker 5: I just know what he's doing, but he knows deep down.
- 25:49Speaker 2: It's nonsense. You know, it's kind of funny.
- 25:51Speaker 5: It was as loud as I've ever heard. Why do
- 25:54Speaker 5: you got to go to some more ball games? My guy,
- 25:56Speaker 5: you've never heard of a louder. Let me tell you
- 25:58Speaker 5: something from what I saw at that watch party.
- 26:00Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 26:01Speaker 5: I mean, it's so loud that they're finally opening up
- 26:03Speaker 5: those sections to sell.
- 26:04Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 26:05Speaker 5: It's so loud that they average 17,000 a game when
- 26:08Speaker 5: the Brewers have averaged 34.
- 26:10Speaker 2: We double your attendance, big boy.
- 26:11Speaker 5: All right.
- 26:12Speaker 2: I'm sorry. And let's be honest.
- 26:14Speaker 5: I don't think you're taking over Milwaukee.
- 26:17Speaker 4: This narrative that Tampa Bay fans don't show up is
- 26:19Speaker 4: total nonsense. It was as loud in there tonight as
- 26:23Speaker 4: I've ever heard for a baseball game my entire life.
- 26:26Speaker 2: It was unbelievable.
- 26:27Speaker 4: We need these fans to show up in Milwaukee, and
- 26:30Speaker 4: we're going to take over Milwaukee.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Ooh. Okay, okay, yeah.
- 26:35Speaker 5: I got to say, Junior Caminero does make it lit
- 26:38Speaker 5: with his 45-second home run trots and stuff like that.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Cam and arrow or Contreras on the home run trot.
- 26:44Speaker 2: Who will, whose will last longer during the world series?
- 26:47Speaker 5: I mean, I hope we have more of them, but
- 26:49Speaker 5: the reality is Kevin here was longer and it's not
- 26:52Speaker 5: that like, like William does take his time, but this guy,
- 26:55Speaker 5: this guy's going to climb up on the backstop next.
- 26:58Speaker 2: I mean, he's going to be going crazy. The next thing,
- 27:00Speaker 2: the pause right at home plate doing the Randy arose
- 27:03Speaker 2: arena celebration, looking at Randy arose arena. That was pretty sweet.
- 27:06Speaker 2: That was a pretty cool one, I'll say that.
- 27:09Speaker 5: It's funny, and I'm definitely not an unwritten baseball rule guy,
- 27:12Speaker 5: but he definitely crosses a line. Not that there's a
- 27:15Speaker 5: line anymore to cross, but if there was one, he's
- 27:18Speaker 5: the line. I mean, it's just a little ridiculous, but
- 27:21Speaker 5: I'm not going to.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Get mad about it. Are you going to slash have
- 27:25Speaker 2: you started to build up the rays as villains during
- 27:28Speaker 2: this series.
- 27:29Speaker 5: It's kind of hard to find the villain aspect of it,
- 27:32Speaker 5: but I am getting into like making it personal with
- 27:35Speaker 5: some of these guys on Twitter, which I enjoy that
- 27:38Speaker 5: are telling me we don't get what's about to happen
- 27:40Speaker 5: when we come down to Tampa and.
- 27:41Speaker 2: All this stuff. And I'm just generally trying to make
- 27:43Speaker 2: fun of all these guys. Okay, buddy.
- 27:46Speaker 5: I'm talking about, um, Making fun of me because everyone
- 27:51Speaker 5: from Wisconsin moves to Florida.
- 27:53Speaker 2: And I'm like, well, it has nothing to do with baseball.
- 27:56Speaker 2: All right, buddy.
- 27:56Speaker 5: It has everything to do with your incredible weather. I'm
- 27:59Speaker 5: getting it going a little bit on Twitter with some
- 28:00Speaker 5: of these guys. So it's fun to see that there
- 28:03Speaker 5: are a.
- 28:03Speaker 2: Few out there. So we are going to a little
- 28:06Speaker 2: who's hot, who's not. Donovan Jorgensen, heating and cooling. And
- 28:08Speaker 2: then on the other side, we do have the first
- 28:11Speaker 2: statement from... Josh Jacobs on the season. A little bit
- 28:15Speaker 2: of a lengthy first opening statement with the media. We
- 28:20Speaker 2: will play that for you coming up in about five
- 28:22Speaker 2: or ten minutes from right now. But who's hot, who's not?
- 28:24Speaker 2: Brought to you by Donovan Jorgensen. Heating and cooling the
- 28:27Speaker 2: number one largest employee-owned HVAC company in the state of Wisconsin.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Four locations that best serve you. McGuanagoe, West Dallas, New Berlin.
- 28:35Speaker 2: And now in Menominee Falls as well, DonovanJorgensen.com. Who's hot? Well,
- 28:41Speaker 2: he was kind of hot. That being Sam Laporta. Tight
- 28:44Speaker 2: end for the Detroit Lions. Not necessarily about what he's
- 28:47Speaker 2: done on the field. Well, kind of. In a podcast
- 28:50Speaker 2: interview with, pardon my take, Armin of Barstool fame. Okay.
- 28:55Speaker 2: The Lions tight end let some frustration show on the
- 28:59Speaker 2: current lack of contract negotiation conversation. He said that the
- 29:04Speaker 2: team is, quote, not showing the love and indicating that
- 29:09Speaker 2: he would be, quote, okay with playing elsewhere in 2027.
- 29:14Speaker 2: How about that? The quote from Laporta, I'm going to
- 29:19Speaker 2: continue to do my thing and ball out in these
- 29:22Speaker 2: three months. And in three months, if I don't get
- 29:27Speaker 2: to wear the Honolulu blue and play for the Lions anymore,
- 29:29Speaker 2: it's going to be all good. I'll go get paid
- 29:33Speaker 2: somewhere else. So whatever. Okay. How about that? he's okay
- 29:40Speaker 2: i like that i like that little bit of a
- 29:43Speaker 2: little bit of frustration rolling into a massive game in
- 29:46Speaker 2: the division coming up this weekend i'd.
- 29:48Speaker 5: Love it too he's talented billy is he worthy of
- 29:50Speaker 5: a huge deal i mean i don't know what he's
- 29:52Speaker 5: looking for i guess that's a relative term I.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Think he'd be looking for exactly what the rest of
- 29:56Speaker 2: the tight end market would be getting. I think he's
- 29:58Speaker 2: looking right in line with what Tucker craft ended up
- 30:02Speaker 2: signing for. Sam Laporte is the goods, man. I mean, he's, he's,
- 30:04Speaker 2: he's pretty solid player. Really, really good player. And I
- 30:07Speaker 2: had a massive rookie season in his game so far
- 30:11Speaker 2: this year, six grabs, 52 yards and a touch against
- 30:15Speaker 2: the bills and a loss. Eight catches on 13 targets
- 30:19Speaker 2: for 84 yards and a touch against Carolina. I mean,
- 30:22Speaker 2: he puts up numbers. He puts up really good numbers
- 30:25Speaker 2: and is one of the more electrifying tight ends, especially
- 30:29Speaker 2: in the past game in the NFL. But he's never
- 30:32Speaker 2: been a thousand yard guy. They have 10 touchdowns in
- 30:34Speaker 2: his rookie year last year, kind of marred by injury.
- 30:36Speaker 2: So maybe that is where they're holding back on. But
- 30:40Speaker 2: I like that. You got to be a little hot
- 30:41Speaker 2: towards your team rolling into this week. Not hot. Detroit
- 30:45Speaker 2: Lions conversations with their star tight end. Hot Brewers bullpen.
- 30:50Speaker 2: This courtesy of ESPN Insights. Brewers have been shutting down
- 30:55Speaker 2: hitters with their off-speed and breaking pitches this postseason, Armin Sarian.
- 30:59Speaker 2: Milwaukee has held opponents to the lowest batting average on
- 31:03Speaker 2: non-fastballs of any team. The problem, who's hot, Tampa Bay
- 31:09Speaker 2: Rays hitting non-fastballs with a 242 batting average against off-speed. Well,
- 31:15Speaker 2: that's one of those chicken and egg deals, right?
- 31:17Speaker 5: Because you are more successful with off-speed when your speed
- 31:21Speaker 5: is that good, right? Isn't that how that works usually?
- 31:23Speaker 5: So it's about keeping hitters off balance. It's about all that. Look,
- 31:27Speaker 5: this is the World Series, so this is going to
- 31:29Speaker 5: be a heavyweight battle. Two teams, it's going to be
- 31:30Speaker 5: a tough team. I'm sure both of these teams have
- 31:33Speaker 5: those type of rankings for a reason, so... It's going
- 31:36Speaker 5: to be good on good, and we'll see who comes.
- 31:38Speaker 2: Out with it. We like to believe our guys are
- 31:40Speaker 2: good enough to do it. Indeed, Billy. If they hit
- 31:42Speaker 2: off-speed well, we're going to throw them the heat. Who's hot,
- 31:44Speaker 2: who's not? Final one last night, not hot, the New
- 31:48Speaker 2: York Knicks. They lose their ring night to the 76ers, 106-100,
- 31:51Speaker 2: but maybe even more not hot. was the Boston Celtics.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Jason Tatum. Dude, we watched some of that game play
- 32:00Speaker 2: out here yesterday and saw Paul George lead the Boston Celtics.
- 32:05Speaker 2: 38 points, 7 of 12 from downtown, and they had
- 32:09Speaker 2: a 20-point lead in the third quarter. They ended up
- 32:12Speaker 2: losing by 8, and you're right. Who's not hot? Jason Tatum.
- 32:15Speaker 3: 6 for 23.
- 32:19Speaker 2: That's your king? All of 7 from downtown. That's him? Boy,
- 32:24Speaker 2: if he didn't get hot that one game against the
- 32:26Speaker 2: Bucs in game six, I'm sorry. We're winning that game.
- 32:30Speaker 2: He did have 11 assists, but I don't think that's
- 32:33Speaker 2: a hot take, Armin. Oh, my goodness. He had 46
- 32:36Speaker 2: in the eight of 15 from three.
- 32:37Speaker 5: He had the game of his life, or else we're
- 32:39Speaker 5: going back to the final. I mean, that's just the
- 32:41Speaker 5: way I feel. After that game five, after Drew Steele,
- 32:43Speaker 5: I felt like we're going. But you know what the
- 32:45Speaker 5: reality is, Billy?
- 32:46Speaker 2: And this is true. It is going to be a
- 32:47Speaker 2: long season.
- 32:48Speaker 5: You just don't know because people side-eyed the Celtics when
- 32:52Speaker 5: they got Paul George.
- 32:52Speaker 2: Like, really, it's Paul George. And look at him yesterday.
- 32:55Speaker 2: He had a good game.
- 32:55Speaker 5: So hard to know what to expect. It was opening night.
- 32:59Speaker 5: Wemby was 0 for 12.
- 33:01Speaker 1: Right?
- 33:01Speaker 5: Yeah, he was awful last night. He still didn't make
- 33:04Speaker 5: a basket yet this year. So who really knows what
- 33:07Speaker 5: to expect? After the playoffs last year, Wemby was everyone's king,
- 33:10Speaker 5: and Chet looked like leftover dinner.
- 33:12Speaker 2: And Chet Holmgren had a nice, you know. I was
- 33:14Speaker 2: going to say, ended up 1 of 13 from the floor,
- 33:17Speaker 2: 0 of 4 from downtown was Victor Weminyama last night.
- 33:22Speaker 2: 12 points, 13 rebounds. But you're right, Chet was much
- 33:25Speaker 2: better than he was in any of the finals games.
- 33:27Speaker 2: But 32 from Shea Gildress Alexander. Last checked, he's pretty good.
- 33:32Speaker 2: Hopefully hot tonight. Milwaukee Bucks start up their season. Come
- 33:35Speaker 2: on now. Let's get a win. Why not, Bucks? Can
- 33:37Speaker 2: we get to 27 victories? That's the number to count
- 33:40Speaker 2: to in the Pottawatomie Sportsbook. We will be counting about
- 33:43Speaker 2: it all year long with you right here on the huddle.
- 33:45Speaker 2: Come back on the other side. Josh Jacobs speaks for
- 33:48Speaker 2: the first time in 2026, fresh off the commissioner's exempt
- 33:52Speaker 2: list and not on the Packers injury report. A couple
- 33:56Speaker 2: of very important offensive players on that injury report. We'll
- 33:58Speaker 2: run through that before we get out of here. Hanging
- 34:10Speaker 2: out on the huddle with you. One final couple of
- 34:13Speaker 2: minutes here before we get out of here. Round third,
- 34:16Speaker 2: head for home, head for the Thursday night huddle coming
- 34:18Speaker 2: up tomorrow. We will have your opportunity to win a
- 34:21Speaker 2: pair of tickets to see Bon Jovi in concert at
- 34:24Speaker 2: Soldier Field coming up. Got to be live in person
- 34:28Speaker 2: to register to win. Coming up tomorrow, we will not
- 34:31Speaker 2: draw the winner tomorrow night at Pottawatomie Sportsbook. But between
- 34:34Speaker 2: 5 and 7, you need to register in person to
- 34:38Speaker 2: win those tickets. More information coming up tomorrow. Live at
- 34:42Speaker 2: 2 is when we'll fire up the huddle. We'll be
- 34:44Speaker 2: at the Thursday Night Huddle, though, as I mentioned, coming
- 34:47Speaker 2: up tomorrow live at 5 and your opportunity to win
- 34:50Speaker 2: and have a chance to get registered in to win
- 34:52Speaker 2: those tickets. All right. Mentioned in the previous segment that
- 34:57Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs just delivered his first opening statement after returning
- 35:03Speaker 2: to the Green Bay Packers following his six-game stay on
- 35:07Speaker 2: the commissioner's exempt list. Sounds remorseful, sounds impactful. It's about
- 35:11Speaker 2: a minute and a half long. Just met with a
- 35:14Speaker 2: slew of reporters up at 1265 and Josh Jacobs on
- 35:18Speaker 2: his return to the Green Bay Packers. Let me try
- 35:22Speaker 2: to get out.
- 35:22Speaker 5: Of the way here.
- 35:23Speaker 6: All right, go ahead, Josh. First, I'm excited to be
- 35:28Speaker 6: back with the team, with the guys. I want to
- 35:31Speaker 6: say Thank you to the organization really for supporting me
- 35:36Speaker 6: throughout this whole process and how everything played out. With
- 35:40Speaker 6: that being said, I can't get into a lot of things,
- 35:43Speaker 6: like specifics of things, but obviously, man, I'm remorseful and
- 35:50Speaker 6: sorry for putting this team in this situation. You know,
- 35:54Speaker 6: sometimes when you go through life, situations occur, and for
- 36:00Speaker 6: a second, three second decision, you know, can alter your life, honestly.
- 36:05Speaker 6: But with that being said, man, I'm still a human being, man.
- 36:10Speaker 6: Still trying to learn, still trying to grow from the
- 36:12Speaker 6: whole process. Actually learned a lot throughout this process, legally
- 36:17Speaker 6: and just personally. But yeah, man, going forward, man, I
- 36:23Speaker 6: just try to be better. I know for some people
- 36:27Speaker 6: this might be, you know, a stain on me and
- 36:30Speaker 6: my character. I feel like I don't have to really
- 36:33Speaker 6: speak on my character. A lot of people that know
- 36:35Speaker 6: me in this locker room or that's been around me,
- 36:38Speaker 6: I let them do that. But for me, man, I'm
- 36:41Speaker 6: just trying to come back in here and play ball,
- 36:44Speaker 6: learn from this mistake and move forward.
- 36:49Speaker 2: That is Josh Jacobs moments ago in Green Bay as
- 36:52Speaker 2: he comes off of the commissioner's exempt list. Today was
- 36:55Speaker 2: his first day back at practice. And he is not
- 36:57Speaker 2: listed on the injury report. So you would assume he's
- 37:00Speaker 2: a full go going into week seven against the Detroit Lions.
- 37:03Speaker 2: Guys that are on that injury report. Baggers did not
- 37:06Speaker 2: practice today. They did a jog through. So these are
- 37:08Speaker 2: all estimations. But limited participants would have been Brandon Cisse
- 37:13Speaker 2: with his shoulder neck injury off that stinger. Bo Melton.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Important one. DNP would have been a DNP, but the
- 37:22Speaker 2: ones to look at Matthew golden with a shoulder, Christian
- 37:25Speaker 2: Watson with an ankle and Jordan love limited participation with
- 37:29Speaker 2: a back injury as it's listed. I can't imagine why.
- 37:34Speaker 2: I can't imagine why as he continually peels himself up
- 37:37Speaker 2: off the turf to his back. However, That's his first
- 37:43Speaker 2: time on the injury report this year. Something to watch. Obviously,
- 37:48Speaker 2: limited participation during a jog through. He'll be playing on Sunday.
- 37:51Speaker 2: But a very important thing to be able to keep
- 37:54Speaker 2: eyes on. Because Josh Jacobs, I do believe, is going
- 37:57Speaker 2: to have a big impact on this team. And I
- 37:59Speaker 2: think it's going to be pretty quick. I appreciate, Armin,
- 38:03Speaker 2: that he did, though, point out and... understandably so, say,
- 38:09Speaker 2: I get that there's going to be people that put
- 38:11Speaker 2: this as a stain on my character. Which is true.
- 38:14Speaker 2: There are, and I can't say that I disagree with
- 38:19Speaker 2: certain folks and their thought processes here. Everybody's entitled to
- 38:22Speaker 2: your opinion on how this will make you feel, him
- 38:25Speaker 2: suiting back up for the Green Bay Packers. He's going to.
- 38:28Speaker 2: He's going to be out there on the football field,
- 38:31Speaker 2: and his talent hopefully is able to be a big
- 38:35Speaker 2: time lift for what they're doing X's and O's wise.
- 38:38Speaker 2: But I did, I thought those words were very well stated,
- 38:43Speaker 2: very well put together. And I thought you could hear
- 38:46Speaker 2: it in his voice, the emotion that he is clearly
- 38:49Speaker 2: holding back for not only putting himself in this situation,
- 38:52Speaker 2: but the football team as well. Clearly.
- 38:54Speaker 5: And he was contrite. I think in that situation, what
- 38:56Speaker 5: he said is true. There'll be people that will never
- 38:58Speaker 5: forget about this. Unfortunately, you know, fortunately or unfortunately, however
- 39:01Speaker 5: you look at it, I guess when his name is
- 39:03Speaker 5: attached to it, but, He has a chance now to
- 39:05Speaker 5: try to do the right things going forward and do
- 39:06Speaker 5: the best he can, and I believe he's going to
- 39:08Speaker 5: try and do that, you know, according to what he says. And, yeah,
- 39:11Speaker 5: I mean, you could see that vulnerability in his voice
- 39:13Speaker 5: the way he said it, no doubt. And excited to
- 39:15Speaker 5: see how he puts that into practice coming up on
- 39:17Speaker 5: the field, coming up tomorrow, or coming up on Sunday.
- 39:20Speaker 2: All right, we are going to round third. We're out
- 39:22Speaker 2: of here, coming up here for the day. Hunter Baumgart
- 39:25Speaker 2: is going to be on the other side. He's our
- 39:27Speaker 2: current electric superhero of the day. Always is. He really
- 39:30Speaker 2: is all week long and for stopping in here with
- 39:33Speaker 2: us joining us coming up here at five and we
- 39:36Speaker 2: will see you tomorrow. We'll be live at five tomorrow
- 39:39Speaker 2: at Pottawatomie Sportsbook at two until then for Armin Forger
- 39:43Speaker 2: Olson will rejoin us coming up tomorrow. I'm Billy. It's
- 39:45Speaker 2: been the huddle on Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 39:48Speaker 4: Peace.
- 39:49Speaker 2: Oh, you got him.
