2:06
Speaker 3: they should have swept. There were one strike away from
2:10
Speaker 3: sweeping a home stand against the two first place teams
2:13
Speaker 3: that they were on their docket.
2:14
Speaker 2: Can't get much better than that.
2:16
Speaker 3: Five and one home stand wrapped up with a delicious sweep,
2:19
Speaker 3: delicious victory. Yesterday, Packer's schedule came out much like the
2:23
Speaker 3: Packer's draft.
2:24
Speaker 2: It's in the books. It's as good as it could be.
2:27
Speaker 2: It's there.
2:28

2:34
Speaker 3: thirty live from Italy. She's wrapping up a semester abroad,
2:38
Speaker 3: and we have Paul Wagner to join us to talk
2:39
Speaker 3: about how wonderful the Brewers pitching is. And it's the
2:41
Speaker 3: Dockhounds home opener. If you're in Lake Country tonight, the
2:46
Speaker 3: Dockhounds are playing games that count on the standings.
2:48
Speaker 2: In Lake Country.
2:49
Speaker 5: If you're celebrating, Happy New Year, as we'd like to
2:52
Speaker 5: say on opening desks, the hope springs eternal, and it
2:56
Speaker 5: does for every single team. And whether it's Tax Day,
2:59
Speaker 5: whether it's now, you know, in the middle of March,
3:01
Speaker 5: or on a Wednesday in September, whenever that bad boy
3:04
Speaker 5: finally starts, you always believe you can be running yourself
3:07
Speaker 5: into gloriou. So I'm excited to talk to Wags about
3:10
Speaker 5: all the guys from the Dockhounds that are potentially gonna
3:13
Speaker 5: help them bring home a championship or you know, make
3:16
Speaker 5: their dream come true and find their way back to
3:18
Speaker 5: the big league.
3:18
Speaker 4: And don't look now, it should be a beautiful night
3:20
Speaker 4: for baseball. I mean, don't look now. But May turned
3:22
Speaker 4: out to be pretty nice here on May fifteenth.
3:25
Speaker 2: Or you're calling it for May, I'm calling it for May.
3:27
Speaker 4: It's it's here, springs here, the beautiful weather's here.
3:31
Speaker 2: We've gotten through the tough stuff.
3:32
Speaker 4: Nice weekend, I'm calling it right now, and I'm not
3:34
Speaker 4: gonna be eating ketchup on was it Monday? When they
3:38
Speaker 4: the original report week agoes that there might be like
3:40
Speaker 4: a polar vortex and snow in the nineteenth And I
3:43
Speaker 4: called that out right away.
3:44
Speaker 2: I think we're good to go. So everything's good. But
3:46
Speaker 2: what was the yeah?
3:48
Speaker 4: I said on Twitter, out you catch up live on
3:49
Speaker 4: air if it's snow in May nineteenth. That was such
3:51
Speaker 4: a ludicrous report that I saw from some weather guy
3:54
Speaker 4: on the internet.
3:55
Speaker 3: I know, symbolically yesterday, you guys, you know you got
4:00
Speaker 3: those of you who have yards and driveways, yes, and
4:03
Speaker 3: don't live in condos.
4:05
Speaker 2: You know you run the gas out of the snowblower.
4:07
Speaker 3: Well, for me, it was like yesterday, Oh, I think
4:10
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take this snowscraper out of the car.
4:12
Speaker 2: And big mult take it, take it away.
4:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, fourteenth, we made the transition. We're on to spring
4:18
Speaker 3: and summer.
4:19
Speaker 2: Damn.
4:19
Speaker 5: I gotta say, though, I think I would sacrifice the
4:21
Speaker 5: snow on May nineteenth if I got to watch you
4:23
Speaker 5: eat a bottle of Ketchup life on.
4:25
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think a lot of people were thinking that too,
4:27
Speaker 2: and I was, I'd be honest with you. Would you
4:29
Speaker 2: put parameters on it? Were you going to like were
4:31
Speaker 2: you just.
4:32
Speaker 3: Gonna take the bottle of Ketchup and a Shara Crisco
4:35
Speaker 3: or like, yeah, it's not crazy, it's Mayo. Some people
4:39
Speaker 3: have been roast out with that, like if you were
4:41
Speaker 3: just having a Ketchup packet, I don't know that that's
4:43
Speaker 3: much of a call.
4:43
Speaker 2: Like, I think you guys had to delete the entire bottle.
4:46
Speaker 4: I set a bowl of Ketchup. I did say, a
4:48
Speaker 4: bowl of Ketchup? But what kind of bowl?
4:50
Speaker 2: How big?
4:50
Speaker 4: Somebody asking you when in it? I would love that,
4:54
Speaker 4: but I think it's cheating even a couple of drops
4:56
Speaker 4: some mac and cheese? Could they pick the brand? I
4:58
Speaker 4: was like, I don't care as long as it's not
5:00
Speaker 4: like a weird Actually.
5:02
Speaker 2: I have to go to the store today and Ketchups
5:03
Speaker 2: on the list. Let's go.
5:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I need the no sugar added, healthy organic whatever
5:09
Speaker 3: that is, you know, the New Hunts.
5:10
Speaker 5: I was gonna say that the New Hunts, this stuff
5:13
Speaker 5: is better for you than that. I'm excited, So I
5:16
Speaker 5: apologize for interrupting that. I guess when I hear armands
5:19
Speaker 5: aren't gonna eat a bowl of ketchup or a bottle
5:21
Speaker 5: of Ketchup, I just get get caught. There's different things
5:24
Speaker 5: that catch your attention. Some you know, are right there
5:27
Speaker 5: in front of you. Some you gotta be digging for
5:29
Speaker 5: a little bit. Like you mentioned the schedule releases yesterday.
5:32
Speaker 5: Drew some of them right in your face with the
5:34
Speaker 5: laughter and the bit. Some of them you really had
5:37
Speaker 5: to dig deep, you know. And look at those street
5:39
Speaker 5: signs in the New York Post messages that pop up
5:41
Speaker 5: in the in the bottom corner.
5:43
Speaker 2: That was good the Vikings had when I saw that too.
5:45
Speaker 2: I mean, this is New Year's you mentioned years.
5:47
Speaker 4: This is also the super Bowl for the social media teams, right,
5:50
Speaker 4: they have to come out with their best heat and no.
5:52
Speaker 3: It's I don't know if I'm a conscientious objector or
5:55
Speaker 3: what But I avoided all that. I think it didn't
5:58
Speaker 3: want to watch any of it. I think they peaked
5:59
Speaker 3: when the Most Titans a couple of.
6:01
Speaker 2: Years ago and a couple of years ago with their more.
6:04
Speaker 3: Social media is really good. The stuff that they do.
6:07
Speaker 3: I just I'm not that interested. Tell me when the games.
6:10
Speaker 4: Are that we passed the like the peak of that stuff.
6:12
Speaker 4: I mean, I think just about everything.
6:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would totally disagree with what we can do
6:20
Speaker 5: on AI and uh video that gets produced through with
6:24
Speaker 5: c g I and things like that.
6:26
Speaker 2: That's the thing. Do you think that we're you think
6:27
Speaker 2: that we're past it? The tools are there.
6:29
Speaker 3: I just don't know valuing. Yeah, shocked or even that interested.
6:35
Speaker 4: But the title, Yeah, they made me laugh again with
6:37
Speaker 4: theirs and they're on the street again.
6:38
Speaker 2: I mean I thought it was funny. I'd like, it's
6:41
Speaker 2: hard to.
6:41
Speaker 4: Really make me audibly laugh out loud for something I
6:43
Speaker 4: see on X these days a lot of funny stuff,
6:46
Speaker 4: but to be actually like, wow, that was funny. I
6:49
Speaker 4: thought they did a pretty good.
6:50
Speaker 3: Now we've gone from where you know, you get like
6:52
Speaker 3: draft grades, free agency grades, and now we're going to
6:55
Speaker 3: grade social media teams on how they interpret their schedule
6:58
Speaker 3: release and I gotta say, it's not Monday, but it's
7:01
Speaker 3: not game balls and kicks the balls but game ball.
7:03
Speaker 3: To the NFL for keeping a pretty tight handle on
7:07
Speaker 3: the leaks because we didn't have the entire packer schedule.
7:11
Speaker 5: No they got they got the ones that they wanted
7:13
Speaker 5: out when they wanted them out, and other than that,
7:15
Speaker 5: I think by the time it came out at seven o'clock,
7:18
Speaker 5: you were able to bit and piece it together. But
7:21
Speaker 5: there was no PDF that got sent through the The
7:23
Speaker 5: embargoes were clean, that's for sure.
7:25
Speaker 2: But not without trying.
7:26
Speaker 4: I mean we had everybody and Tim Bunk two asking
7:28
Speaker 4: us if we had ideas for leaks, if we heard
7:30
Speaker 4: anything else. I mean, I mean former worker, court workers,
7:33
Speaker 4: for my father in law. I mean, everybody wanted to
7:35
Speaker 4: know if they were like, well, you just wait till
7:37
Speaker 4: you know, seven o'clock like everybody else and figure it out.
7:39
Speaker 4: But hey, I mean, nobody did leak it, So kudos
7:42
Speaker 4: to everybody. We had some fakes out there. You had
7:45
Speaker 4: to dodge those things, like you know, like like wrenches,
7:48
Speaker 4: but if you were good enough you could do it.
7:50
Speaker 5: Well, if you can dodge your rench, you can dodge
7:52
Speaker 5: ball and you can dodge your fake game.
7:54
Speaker 3: The NFL kept its record intact of making me chuckle
7:57
Speaker 3: with the preseason slate Packers at Pittsburgh August thirteenth to
8:02
Speaker 3: the sixteenth, Wow three days games wowween there at Denver
8:06
Speaker 3: twentieth to the twenty third, and then home against the Cardinals.
8:09
Speaker 3: Now that home weekend against the Cardinals, which is a
8:11
Speaker 3: gold package exhibition game, it is, Yes, I have there's
8:16
Speaker 3: a wedding I'm supposed to attend in Michigan that weekend,
8:18
Speaker 3: so it's kind of important that I know when that
8:20
Speaker 3: game is to whether it's good. Yeah, yeah, the Friday
8:23
Speaker 3: or you know, if I can attend their wedding on Saturday.
8:26
Speaker 3: You're killing me small, let's have let's lock that down.
8:28
Speaker 2: Those they don't they don't roll out for a while though, right,
8:31
Speaker 2: he's a joke generally not I know.
8:33
Speaker 5: August thirteenth, I believe is when they're actually playing the
8:35
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh game.
8:36
Speaker 3: But and you can't tell me that they don't know,
8:38
Speaker 3: because the Cardinals are coming in for the joint practice
8:41
Speaker 3: and they know when the game is right.
8:43
Speaker 2: They've they've got that.
8:44
Speaker 5: Locked in that I actually would say they probably don't.
8:47
Speaker 5: They don't necessarily well, do they have their whole practice plan.
8:50
Speaker 2: They probably don't.
8:51
Speaker 5: Probably don't have training camp set up, Like so if
8:53
Speaker 5: you're going to build it in with the joint practice,
8:55
Speaker 5: they don't probably know when they have training camp set up.
8:58
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think they probably do if they
9:00
Speaker 2: don't have the games.
9:02
Speaker 5: Like I mean, I I don't know that they have
9:04
Speaker 5: it fully built out.
9:05
Speaker 2: Were they felt like just under one hundred days away,
9:08
Speaker 2: I have to secure hotels and all that.
9:10
Speaker 3: I mean, I would think that they're like, we knew,
9:12
Speaker 3: we kind of knew that they were playing.
9:14
Speaker 5: I think they're worried about getting hotels for preseason games
9:16
Speaker 5: in the middle of August.
9:17
Speaker 3: Maybe there's some in some cities, maybe not Green Bay, Yeah,
9:22
Speaker 3: but in some cities, Oh, the welders are in and well,
9:24
Speaker 3: that's our week for the you know, the annual. Well
9:27
Speaker 3: try to get a hotel in Milwaukee when Northwestern mutuals
9:30
Speaker 3: in town.
9:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, well not wuck, you're not getting one in Milwaukee.
9:33
Speaker 5: So I don't I'm just saying it's like that, I
9:36
Speaker 5: don't know that it's not that big of a deal
9:37
Speaker 5: if you're planning on getting a Ruckus fifteen thousand people
9:40
Speaker 5: to ship in for the preseason with the players.
9:42
Speaker 2: If they know the team like two floors and that
9:45
Speaker 2: should be about it. I don't think it's that big.
9:46
Speaker 4: Of it if it's a matter of just game time though,
9:49
Speaker 4: I mean, if they know the general weekend, they should
9:51
Speaker 4: be okay. Yeah, this issue is the week the time though,
9:54
Speaker 4: so they don't really need that for hotels and stuff like.
9:57
Speaker 4: You don't need to know that if it's seven o'clock
9:58
Speaker 4: or noon or whatever.
9:59
Speaker 3: I don't know the date. I'm talking about the date,
10:01
Speaker 3: but a few different days. But yeah, they're gonna be
10:05
Speaker 3: in for a couple of days, let us know. And
10:08
Speaker 3: it would make sense that they play the last exhibition
10:10
Speaker 3: game on a Friday, I would think, wouldn't it.
10:12
Speaker 5: I mean the last couple of years it's been Saturday.
10:14
Speaker 5: We had a Sunday once, Yeah, we've had We've had
10:16
Speaker 5: we had a Sunday with Denver when they were there
10:19
Speaker 5: for a joint practice the last couple of years. I
10:22
Speaker 5: know they had the last home preseason game two years
10:24
Speaker 5: ago against Seattle and that was a Saturday.
10:27
Speaker 2: At didn't weren't two of them on Friday though? Last
10:30
Speaker 2: year Friday Night. That often happened get mixed up, but
10:34
Speaker 2: they often do.
10:36
Speaker 5: They wrapped up at home the last preseason game a
10:38
Speaker 5: couple of the last couple of years though Saturday at Saturday.
10:42
Speaker 3: It's it's so that to me is a joke that
10:44
Speaker 3: they can't nail that down. I mean, come on, you
10:46
Speaker 3: can nail down dates in December and you can't nail
10:49
Speaker 3: down dates in August.
10:50
Speaker 5: It seems well again, the ones that really matter, like
10:52
Speaker 5: as much as as difficult as it is, I don't
10:54
Speaker 5: think anybody cares about the preseason games other than the
10:57
Speaker 5: ones working for it. It's the ones in the like
11:00
Speaker 5: season has gotten, has fallen so far to people into
11:04
Speaker 5: the national sphere, you would never be able to take
11:06
Speaker 5: off in the middle of August. Instead, it's like, hey,
11:08
Speaker 5: why don't you take up off until like the end
11:11
Speaker 5: of August because nobody is necessarily worried about the games
11:15
Speaker 5: that nobody that is generally starting in the fact that
11:18
Speaker 5: the season opens.
11:19
Speaker 3: Like, Okay, there's the Wednesday before, but this season basically
11:22
Speaker 3: for the rest of the Humans, opens on the thirteenth
11:25
Speaker 3: of September and the Super Bowl is Valentine's Valentine's Day.
11:28
Speaker 2: Baby, we're pushing.
11:29
Speaker 3: Way back further and we're preparing for the eighteen game slate,
11:32
Speaker 3: which will be two preseason games, right, Yes, so that
11:37
Speaker 3: you're right, it's being marginalized.
11:39
Speaker 2: It's almost ridiculous.
11:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the lack of it also when we
11:43
Speaker 5: talked about it with Wayne Larvie when we were growing up.
11:45
Speaker 5: For training camp, we've done that the last couple of
11:47
Speaker 5: years of being there every day and broadcasting with Wayne,
11:50
Speaker 5: of talking and understanding that everything you see during camp
11:53
Speaker 5: is one thing, and then the first three or four
11:55
Speaker 5: weeks of the regular season ultimately turns itself into what
11:59
Speaker 5: basically he is preseason football two point zero because you
12:02
Speaker 5: don't know a whole lot about the teams and they
12:05
Speaker 5: don't necessarily know a whole lot about their outfits as
12:07
Speaker 5: well through the month of September, and that is only
12:10
Speaker 5: gonna grow. I thought a couple of key things from
12:12
Speaker 5: the schedule that that we're disappointing for fans. A lot
12:15
Speaker 5: of people were hoping that Tampa Bay game was sitting
12:17
Speaker 5: in the middle of November instead Week four and heat
12:21
Speaker 5: might be a thing. And two Thursday night Amazon Prime
12:25
Speaker 5: home kicks, neither of which Gold package dates.
12:29
Speaker 2: Those are good ones. Those are good.
12:31
Speaker 3: Not great for those of us who host radio shows
12:33
Speaker 3: at five am following this day. Yeah, that's fair, and
12:38
Speaker 3: we're gonna be that's a tight turn for us. Two
12:40
Speaker 3: tight turns, so.
12:42
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a wild ride. But hey, you know
12:44
Speaker 2: we're we're not pancake eaters around here.
12:46
Speaker 3: We're not pancake eaters. Call back to callback, call back,
12:50
Speaker 3: all right. So a couple of things that jump out Packers.
12:52
Speaker 3: Obviously opening against Minnesota. That's cool division opener, you know,
12:57
Speaker 3: I like the soft lining three or four on the road,
13:00
Speaker 3: a Thursday night home opener, and when you got two
13:02
Speaker 3: games in the can already. The Vikings and the Jets
13:05
Speaker 3: open on Thursday night against the Falcons and then go
13:07
Speaker 3: to Tampa as Billy mentioned for that October fourth matchup.
13:10
Speaker 3: So that's act three out of four to start, you're
13:12
Speaker 3: knocking out road games, getting them out of the way.
13:15
Speaker 2: Uh, what do you look for? You look for the buye?
13:17
Speaker 3: The bye is late, The bye is leading into their
13:20
Speaker 3: Wednesday Whiskey Wednesday game, which is later than the backers
13:24
Speaker 3: have had it.
13:25
Speaker 2: Right sitting with a week six buys. Yeah, so that's
13:30
Speaker 2: good timing.
13:30
Speaker 3: And then there's a couple of like mini buys built
13:33
Speaker 3: in as well, so that is cool. They'll be done
13:36
Speaker 3: playing the Vikings before the bye.
13:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I mean their back half of the schedule
13:41
Speaker 5: is almost all at lambeau Field. Once you get to December,
13:44
Speaker 5: if you're building it for December, quote unquote football, they
13:47
Speaker 5: close with four or five.
13:49
Speaker 2: It won't be well.
13:50
Speaker 4: They will get on a plane because they have fly
13:52
Speaker 4: to Chicago, but it's not a long.
13:53
Speaker 3: Flights and there's no stretch of there's no back to
13:56
Speaker 3: back division games. And you in that Bears game Christmas Day.
14:02
Speaker 3: We avoided when we avoided Thanksgiving, couldn't avoid Christmas. Packers
14:07
Speaker 3: at Bears Christmas Day with a noon.
14:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
14:09
Speaker 5: I know people people hate this. I think people like that.
14:13
Speaker 5: It's arms least favorite in the world.
14:17
Speaker 2: People love watching game.
14:19
Speaker 3: People with young kids and stuff. Like I think about like,
14:22
Speaker 3: you know, players and coaches, well, they're in the league.
14:25
Speaker 3: They got to sacrifice that. But I mean, if you're
14:27
Speaker 3: a coach, you guys, hey, you're gonna be on the
14:30
Speaker 3: road for Christmas Day and you're not gonna get watching it.
14:32
Speaker 3: You have to FaceTime the kids when they open their
14:33
Speaker 3: presence in the morning. If you can even do that,
14:35
Speaker 3: because you'll probably be on your way to Yeah.
14:37
Speaker 5: I struggle to only think about myself, but I I
14:41
Speaker 5: understand it like fans. That is why that number draw
14:44
Speaker 5: is so big. You're already with your family. There's gonna
14:47
Speaker 5: be great families that already have Bears on this side,
14:50
Speaker 5: packers on this side. That's setting up for a sweet
14:52
Speaker 5: Christmas Day, hopefully a lot better than Christmas Day Packers
14:55
Speaker 5: and Bears two thousand and six.
14:57
Speaker 2: Well, what gets me is like Blambolefield.
14:59
Speaker 3: And they're just flexing because that's a Friday, right If
15:03
Speaker 3: Christmas Day falls on a Sunday, and that's your league business, Okay,
15:07
Speaker 3: you can.
15:07
Speaker 2: Suck it up once every year. They don't. They're hunting
15:09
Speaker 2: for the audience. They're trying to steal.
15:11
Speaker 3: The NBA had the traditional stranglehold on Christmas Day for
15:14
Speaker 3: ratings and exclusion, which they don't anymore.
15:16
Speaker 2: That's the right. Is a business, and it will work
15:18
Speaker 2: for that. That's true. But it is true what you're
15:20
Speaker 2: saying has worked for that. I know it will. It
15:23
Speaker 2: has it will. Mark Murphy.
15:26
Speaker 3: Didn't Mark Murphy say, like, you know, we don't want
15:28
Speaker 3: our employees to have to work on Christmas Day. We
15:30
Speaker 3: don't want to have people have to come in, like
15:32
Speaker 3: people that the friendly faces we see the elevator operators
15:35
Speaker 3: and security guards.
15:38
Speaker 2: So it's a road game.
15:39
Speaker 3: So the Packers probably would say we don't, we'd rather
15:42
Speaker 3: not because that Mark Murphy made that point that he
15:44
Speaker 3: didn't want to play ya.
15:47
Speaker 5: You don't like to do you don't every year, we're
15:50
Speaker 5: going to play on Christmas, like we're going to play
15:52
Speaker 5: four days. Like it's not going to change, and this
15:55
Speaker 5: will happen for I mean, listen, oh it's going it's
15:58
Speaker 5: going forward. They're playing on Christmas Day exactly. They slowly
16:02
Speaker 5: pushed they said, don't play too, we'll play too if
16:04
Speaker 5: it's a Tuesday or Wednesday. It's like otherwise, saddle up
16:07
Speaker 5: for three.
16:07
Speaker 4: Let's slowly dip you in the wax a couple of
16:09
Speaker 4: years ago with the Wednesday Christmas Day and then it's like,
16:11
Speaker 4: all right, now you're used to it. You're gonna be
16:13
Speaker 4: playing now Thanksgiving Eve, like that's just the way it
16:16
Speaker 4: is now. So complaining about it, like I like to
16:18
Speaker 4: do as a mood point, because that's also.
16:21
Speaker 3: That's also a short week. I mean, not as short
16:24
Speaker 3: ast play on Thursday, obviously, but it's still a short
16:26
Speaker 3: week for to turn around Sunday to Friday, which is
16:29
Speaker 3: an interesting dynamic late in the season that a beat up.
16:32
Speaker 2: Right stuff.
16:32
Speaker 4: But then they don't have to travel, so you have
16:34
Speaker 4: to look at it that way. Yeah, it's like a
16:35
Speaker 4: mini but yeah it is, I mean it is kind
16:37
Speaker 4: of they no, they travel a little bit.
16:39
Speaker 5: Bill Huber put it together in just like the rest breakdown,
16:43
Speaker 5: which was a really really interesting way of looking at it,
16:45
Speaker 5: that both different games again or the final game against
16:49
Speaker 5: the Lions. Obviously there's not a whole lot there, but
16:53
Speaker 5: Detroit will have one day advantage because the Packers will
16:55
Speaker 5: be coming off of a Monday night game the time
16:58
Speaker 5: that they played Detroit earlier in the season. In Week seven,
17:01
Speaker 5: Detroit will have a full week of rest advantage over
17:04
Speaker 5: and Bill captioned it with like NFL screws the Packers
17:08
Speaker 5: in terms of bie weeks and schedule differences. That there's
17:11
Speaker 5: some big division games that the rest difference and the
17:14
Speaker 5: rest quotient would be out of their out of their scales,
17:17
Speaker 5: out of their balance.
17:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, play them when you can.
17:20
Speaker 5: And they have six primetime games which we anticipated one
17:24
Speaker 5: before behind the most at seven, and they're gonna be
17:29
Speaker 5: smack dab in the middle of all the most important windows,
17:32
Speaker 5: Netflix said, how much money are we paying for these games?
17:35
Speaker 5: We would prefer the Green Bay Packers in Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah,
17:37
Speaker 5: could you give us the good games? Could you not
17:40
Speaker 5: stick us with the with the Titans and Bills or well,
17:43
Speaker 5: we'll take all of the best ones that you have.
17:45
Speaker 2: Thank you very You.
17:46
Speaker 4: Know what, this is one that people aren't gonna complain
17:48
Speaker 4: about too much with the streaming either, because everyone's got Netflix.
17:50
Speaker 4: That's the one thing like I could see people with
17:52
Speaker 4: like Prime or.
17:54
Speaker 5: Funny thing is more people have Prime and they don't
17:56
Speaker 5: realize they have Prime.
17:57
Speaker 4: Well that's probably true, but I feel like I feel
17:59
Speaker 4: like net Flix is probably one of the most common ones.
18:02
Speaker 2: I mean, so I don't I don't anticipate too much
18:04
Speaker 2: complaining about it.
18:05
Speaker 5: They're the streamers games to Amazon Prime games to Netflix
18:08
Speaker 5: games and wrapped up with not a whole lot of
18:11
Speaker 5: home noon games only the first home nooner is that
18:15
Speaker 5: week what seven game against the Vikings at homes right,
18:17
Speaker 5: which is you.
18:18
Speaker 2: Know, frustrating for some people.
18:19
Speaker 3: You would think that you would think that given that
18:23
Speaker 3: they're playing the Monday night January fourth, that that next
18:27
Speaker 3: game would be a Sunday that they'd push it to.
18:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be a Sunday, you would.
18:30
Speaker 3: Think, But you never know what the implications will be
18:33
Speaker 3: and what if there are more pressing games with the
18:36
Speaker 3: It depends on, you know, the implications and standings in.
18:39
Speaker 5: The Yeah, but I mean I I generally think both
18:41
Speaker 5: of those teams are going to be in the mix
18:42
Speaker 5: there in Week eighteen, and you know we've seen that
18:44
Speaker 5: a lot. Generally they want those all played at the
18:47
Speaker 5: same window. But there's a ton of Lambeau at night.
18:51
Speaker 5: Lambo at Night was the was the goal of the
18:54
Speaker 5: schedule maker, so I know they're putting it apparently through
18:57
Speaker 5: AI helping them figure out how to uh how to
19:00
Speaker 5: make this schedule lineup as good as possible. They said, hey,
19:04
Speaker 5: how about you get us the cool visuals of Lambeau
19:06
Speaker 5: Field under the lights, because that's what they indicated they
19:09
Speaker 5: want all year long.
19:11
Speaker 2: Which is which is cool to watch.
19:12
Speaker 4: But I think the one thing is, you know a
19:14
Speaker 4: lot of fans like want their newing games and they're
19:16
Speaker 4: gonna complain. And I'll say this, I think for all
19:18
Speaker 4: the resellers, it's gonna be it's gonna be tough because
19:21
Speaker 4: a lot of fans don't want to go to those
19:23
Speaker 4: night games and they resell them, So we might be
19:26
Speaker 4: in for a year of complaining about the not enough
19:28
Speaker 4: green and goals.
19:29
Speaker 5: You're expecting a lot of Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers
19:32
Speaker 5: fans to take over on the Thursday nights.
19:33
Speaker 2: So what you're saying.
19:34
Speaker 4: Maybe not the Panthers, but maybe Atlanta and just in
19:38
Speaker 4: general or frustrated fans that like.
19:40
Speaker 2: Are like, we gotta go to this game because we
19:41
Speaker 2: can't resell them.
19:43
Speaker 3: Commodity bro owners like don't like the Thursday games yesterday,
19:47
Speaker 3: and they're not big fans of like even Monday, you know,
19:49
Speaker 3: because they like the Sundays because you get Saturday and Sunday.
19:52
Speaker 3: If you're gonna get two nights, stay out of people
19:54
Speaker 3: and try to make a minimum.
19:56
Speaker 2: So yeah, a lot of ramifications.
19:58
Speaker 3: Schedule sets up pretty well, and you're right, Billy, three
20:01
Speaker 3: I believe if it's.
20:02
Speaker 2: Three of the first four home games are night for
20:05
Speaker 2: the Packers.
20:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, Atlanta Thursday night, they played the three twenty five window. Now,
20:09
Speaker 5: granted it's in October before daylight saving, so it's a
20:11
Speaker 5: little bit different for the Bears, but that's gonna be
20:13
Speaker 5: watched by just about everybody in the country. Sunday night Dallas,
20:17
Speaker 5: Thursday night Carolina and week ten pardon me, November fifteenth,
20:21
Speaker 5: that's the only only.
20:23
Speaker 2: Scheduled home noon one before the bye.
20:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was like the way the schedule lays out,
20:30
Speaker 3: it's gonna be uh, it's gonna be a fun ride
20:32
Speaker 3: buckle up. The schedule seems logical, just like the draft
20:36
Speaker 3: seem logical. That's so it's coming to my mind is
20:38
Speaker 3: that the draft was logical what they did. The schedule
20:41
Speaker 3: seems logical. But hey, you never know that four or
20:44
Speaker 3: five at home is so advantageous. That is, and so
20:47
Speaker 3: is the soft kind of the soft open with the Vikings, Jets,
20:50
Speaker 3: Falcons and Bucks before you get Micah Parsons back and
20:53
Speaker 3: Tucker Craft at one hundred percent.
20:54
Speaker 5: Well, and it also lines up right week five, four
20:58
Speaker 5: weeks on the pup. Both of those those guys could
21:00
Speaker 5: in theory start it on PUP and then get activated
21:04
Speaker 5: and be there in time for the Bears.
21:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, not that.
21:06
Speaker 5: And also gold package shout out Bears, let's ride. Let's
21:10
Speaker 5: make that a rackus crowd. And the season starts October eleventh,
21:14
Speaker 5: damn it be awesome. That one's gonna be good. All right,
21:16
Speaker 5: we're off and running, shooting shirts are off. Plenty to

Speaker 2: Three six forty games in a row, Is that right?
22:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, all night games down at regularly, And as much
22:52
Speaker 5: as they'd love to make the Brewers and Twins a
22:55
Speaker 5: real border battle, it looks good though on the T shirts.
22:58
Speaker 5: It does look good on the the nice little old
23:00
Speaker 5: penance that they used to make in the border battle.
23:02
Speaker 2: Nobody calls it. Nobody calls it.
23:04
Speaker 3: So if you have thoughts on that, the talking text
23:06

Speaker 6: I have been fantastic. How have you guys been doing
23:25
Speaker 6: It's been a minute, it's.
23:26
Speaker 2: Ten a minute. We haven't been having nearly as much
23:28
Speaker 2: fun as you. I'll tell you that. I think I
23:29
Speaker 2: can say that very very cleanly.
23:31
Speaker 3: I get tired and I feel broken, have to check
23:33
Speaker 3: my accounts looking at your Instagram because of all the
23:36
Speaker 3: stuff that you're doing over there.
23:37
Speaker 2: Kate, you're doing it right. So how are you feeling?
23:40
Speaker 7: I am feeling exhausted, but in the best way. I
23:44
Speaker 7: made sure to take an advantage of study abroad. I
23:47
Speaker 7: was trying to travel as much as possible, basically every weekend.
23:50
Speaker 7: But now, of course it's finals time, so I kind
23:52
Speaker 7: of have to lock Oh.
23:54
Speaker 2: Got a lock it.
23:58
Speaker 4: I love that you're doing it right, But what's gonna
24:00
Speaker 4: be like when you know, get home and you look
24:02
Speaker 4: more like an ordinary left ordinary but like you know,
24:04
Speaker 4: you're back to like you know, yeah, doing the laundry
24:07
Speaker 4: and just.
24:08
Speaker 2: Going to historic cities every weekend, just seeing the quick trip.
24:11
Speaker 4: I'm not a quick trip, right going like to pick
24:14
Speaker 4: and say, You're not going to see like you know,
24:16
Speaker 4: like his most historic churches and like ruins of Europe,
24:19
Speaker 4: like all these things.
24:20
Speaker 2: It's gonna be an adjustment.
24:22
Speaker 7: It's gonna be a very very hard adjustment. I've already
24:25
Speaker 7: talked to some of my friends because I'm here a
24:27
Speaker 7: lot longer than the majority of people due to my
24:29
Speaker 7: exchange program. Most of my friends have been home for
24:32
Speaker 7: two weeks, almost a month some of them, and I
24:35
Speaker 7: got to tell you, none of them are thriving as
24:37
Speaker 7: much as.
24:37
Speaker 6: I am right now. It's an adjustment.
24:40
Speaker 7: You go from seeing the Duomo and my casual walk
24:43
Speaker 7: to class to I'm gonna be seen.
24:45
Speaker 6: I mean, I missed Chipotle.
24:46
Speaker 5: So at least I'll yes true, the Cilantro rice is
24:51
Speaker 5: still good, don't worry about it. It'll it'll still be there,
24:53
Speaker 5: the pizza. Enjoy the last couple of them here. But
24:55
Speaker 5: you mentioned the exchange program. Now, so my brother in
24:58
Speaker 5: law is doing the exact same thing, I believe next
25:00
Speaker 5: next year. So he's already scheming it up. How long
25:03
Speaker 5: in the making was this for you? How long had
25:05
Speaker 5: you thought about studying abroad? And I mean, I think
25:08
Speaker 5: the dumb question, but the easy one is was it
25:11
Speaker 5: worth it? Was it everything that you kind of dreamed
25:12
Speaker 5: it would be?
25:13
Speaker 7: Absolutely? This was Studying abroad was always a big dream
25:17
Speaker 7: for me. I didn't know if I would actually be
25:19
Speaker 7: able to do it, because, of course, there are very
25:21
Speaker 7: pricey programs, which is why when I found out about
25:23
Speaker 7: exchange programs where I'm just paying the same tuition that
25:26
Speaker 7: I'd be paying at Madison, immediately I knew that I
25:29
Speaker 7: needed to apply to every single one the Business school had.
25:33
Speaker 7: Of course, I love Italian food. I've always wanted to
25:35
Speaker 7: go to Italy, so I put that as my number one.
25:37
Speaker 7: But it's always been a dream of mine. This has been.
25:40
Speaker 6: Over three years in the making.
25:42
Speaker 7: It was my senior year of high school when I
25:43
Speaker 7: found out about the option because I had a friend
25:46
Speaker 7: at Madison, and so since then I've just been making
25:49
Speaker 7: sure I've been taking the right classes at Madison and
25:51
Speaker 7: making sure that I was applying to the right programs.
25:53
Speaker 7: And now it's all transferring over seamlessly. Hopefully, I say
25:57
Speaker 7: this again, Let's hope the finals go well, but hopefully
25:59
Speaker 7: all this will transfer back very nicely.
26:02
Speaker 6: This is everything I could have wanted.
26:04
Speaker 3: Is it safe to say that you've learned more just
26:06
Speaker 3: traveling around Europe and experiencing the world than you did
26:09
Speaker 3: sitting in the classroom. I'm sure the professors and stuff
26:11
Speaker 3: at the university that you're at are great, but isn't
26:15
Speaker 3: it like you learn more outside the classroom?
26:17
Speaker 6: Oh?
26:18
Speaker 7: Absolutely, every single every every new city that I've been to.
26:21
Speaker 7: I mean, you're you're learning so much about different cultures,
26:23
Speaker 7: but you're also I don't know, it's just kind of
26:25
Speaker 7: fun to just meet new people because you're meeting all
26:27
Speaker 7: these different people from all all across the world, all
26:30
Speaker 7: of these different professions as well. So I mean, like
26:33
Speaker 7: I feel like that's half the fun, is just learning
26:35
Speaker 7: from new people and also trying to learn a new language.
26:38
Speaker 7: I still still struggling with that a little bit, but
26:41
Speaker 7: you know the language. Who cares what the language barriers?
26:43
Speaker 7: Do you still learn as much as you can?
26:45
Speaker 2: We got translate apps for that.
26:46
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say, so, was it all dual
26:48
Speaker 5: lingo or were you just like, was your Google Translate
26:51
Speaker 5: app like your best friend?
26:52
Speaker 2: And are you gonna miss them?
26:53
Speaker 5: Because, like I I would say, you've probably spend so
26:55
Speaker 5: much time talking into your Google Translated app.
26:57
Speaker 2: It's like a friend that all of a sudden moves away.
27:00
Speaker 7: Do you know those like widgets on your iPhone when
27:02
Speaker 7: you're on an app so constantly that they start to
27:04
Speaker 7: just pop up on the massive widget Google Translate is
27:06
Speaker 7: my massive widget right when I opened my phone. Yes,
27:09
Speaker 7: because I'm on it so so much, I'm definitely gonna
27:13
Speaker 7: miss it. Seriously, blessed technology, because I don't know how
27:16
Speaker 7: I'd be able to get into half the airbnbs or
27:18
Speaker 7: hostels that I've been saying and without a little bit
27:20
Speaker 7: of help from that.
27:21
Speaker 4: Yes, also your youtubel, you're also YouTube algorithms and your
27:24
Speaker 4: you know, direct marketing algorithms are all cooked right now,
27:27
Speaker 4: right Probably it's gonna be like a different thing when
27:29
Speaker 4: you come back. So that's it hard to keep up
27:31
Speaker 4: with the local sports over there while you're there, Like
27:33
Speaker 4: are you just having to get up in the middle
27:35
Speaker 4: of the night, are you just checking the score during
27:37
Speaker 4: the day or it's just just like, oh, okay, I
27:38
Speaker 4: see the Packer schedule came out. That's pretty good. When
27:42
Speaker 4: you wake up you get to see the Brewer score.
27:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
27:45
Speaker 7: No, I will say it's definitely not as exciting because
27:47
Speaker 7: I definitely cannot say up late.
27:49
Speaker 6: To watch it in the middle of the night.
27:50
Speaker 7: But it is fun because my roommates that were one
27:53
Speaker 7: of my roommates, Funny enough, we live in this lounge area.
27:56
Speaker 7: He's also from Wisconsin. So in the morning we'll come
27:58
Speaker 7: over it. Well, we'll talk about here's a Packers schedule,
28:01
Speaker 7: what games are we going to attempt to try and
28:03
Speaker 7: go to, or what's the Brewers schedule?
28:05
Speaker 6: How are the Brewers doing right now.
28:07
Speaker 7: It's a lot of fun being It's a very good
28:09
Speaker 7: bonding experience because none all of us love sports that
28:12
Speaker 7: I'm surrounding myself with here, But as much as we
28:15
Speaker 7: love sports, we're really struggling to stay up late at night.
28:18
Speaker 7: So it's fun for us to meet up and talk
28:20
Speaker 7: about it.
28:20
Speaker 3: Afterwards, we are chatting with Kate Sutton Kapa, Kate friend
28:23
Speaker 3: of the program, our correspondent for the Olympics.
28:25
Speaker 2: Earliest year. That seems like a year ago to me.
28:27
Speaker 3: I'm sure the way that you've been living life, it
28:29
Speaker 3: probably seems like a long time ago too.
28:31
Speaker 7: It literally feels like a different lifetime when I'm still
28:34
Speaker 7: in the airports. Of course, Italy has all the Milan
28:37
Speaker 7: has all the Milan Courtina Olympic memorabilia everywhere. Still they're
28:41
Speaker 7: still trying to push it as much as possible.
28:43
Speaker 4: Oil.
28:43
Speaker 6: But it's just like when.
28:44
Speaker 7: Every time I go to the airport and I see it,
28:46
Speaker 7: it genuinely feels like a lifetime ago that I watched
28:49
Speaker 7: the USA women's team win gold.
28:51
Speaker 6: Like it's just I've experienced so much here that it's
28:54
Speaker 6: just I have no words.
28:56
Speaker 3: Well, you've experienced so much there, including your twenty five
29:00
Speaker 3: first birthday, Kate, twenty one abroad, no birthday with a family,
29:05
Speaker 3: but you got to do so. How did you celebrate
29:06
Speaker 3: your birthday? And I'm curious, Kate, Statute to limitations. You're
29:10
Speaker 3: among friends, your dad's listening in Pittsburgh on his way
29:12
Speaker 3: to Germany. But do you do a ceremonial destruction of
29:18
Speaker 3: the fake ID that you had for all these years?
29:20
Speaker 3: Or do you put it in a frame and keep
29:21
Speaker 3: it somewhere, or do you tell it or do you
29:24
Speaker 3: use it like you know? Do you use it out
29:25
Speaker 3: of habit?
29:26
Speaker 7: Now?
29:26
Speaker 3: Then when your real idea, we'll get you into places.
29:28
Speaker 3: What is the deal with turning twenty one abroad?
29:32
Speaker 6: Turning one abroad?
29:32
Speaker 7: I will say, wasn't as exciting due to the fact
29:35
Speaker 7: that I have been legal here for so much.
29:37
Speaker 2: That's going to kill it.
29:38
Speaker 7: Yeah, climactic, Like it was pretty anti climatic.
29:42
Speaker 6: I popped some champagne right at midnight.
29:43
Speaker 7: My friends and I all went crazy, and they're like,
29:45
Speaker 7: all right, well, now let's just let's go out to
29:47
Speaker 7: some clubs.
29:48
Speaker 6: We went out to uh.
29:49
Speaker 7: We went to Croatia for my twenty first birthday. We
29:53
Speaker 7: went to Split Croatia, gorgeous city. Definitely not once in
29:57
Speaker 7: my life at everythink that that was where I was
29:59
Speaker 7: gonna spending my twenty first birthday. But you know, that's
30:01
Speaker 7: the fun of it, and my fake I d I
30:03
Speaker 7: funny enough, did bring it here just so I could
30:06
Speaker 7: put it side by side and say goodbye to it.
30:08
Speaker 7: But I think it's gonna be a little bit more
30:10
Speaker 7: ceremonious if I go back home in the second that
30:13
Speaker 7: I land in the US actually with my friends.
30:16
Speaker 6: What it's gonna mean a little bit more.
30:18
Speaker 3: That that first trip to the KK is illegal different,
30:23
Speaker 3: Jen Magnus.
30:27
Speaker 7: First thing I'm doing when I go to Madison is
30:29
Speaker 7: going to the KK.
30:32
Speaker 2: Don't worry. The floor is still sticky. Flora is still.
30:34
Speaker 7: Stick the state if I didn't hear if my converse
30:38
Speaker 7: were sticking to the floor every time I was walking in.
30:41
Speaker 3: There, it's the same sticky floor from beer spilled when
30:43
Speaker 3: your mom was there.
30:44
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, we've all we've all all of
30:46
Speaker 5: a sudden, we've.
30:47
Speaker 2: All been there. Yeah, we all know that's funny. So
30:50
Speaker 2: when are you done? What are finals looking like?
30:52
Speaker 3: I know you're some of your classes like you were
30:54
Speaker 3: saying you didn't have them on Friday and stuff, So
30:56
Speaker 3: when are you wrapping up?
30:57
Speaker 2: And when do you come back stateside?
30:59
Speaker 7: So sadly, my classes are officially done. They my final
31:04
Speaker 7: class was on Wednesday, and now it is all finals prep.
31:07
Speaker 7: So my friend took a final this morning. I don't
31:09
Speaker 7: take my first final for one more week. Mineus next Friday,
31:13
Speaker 7: and I have exam's Friday, Monday, Tuesday, and then after
31:17
Speaker 7: that I have two days to myself and then lovely
31:19
Speaker 7: Stephanie and Brian, my parents will be visiting me. We
31:22
Speaker 7: weren't able to do it earlier in the year, but
31:24
Speaker 7: it works out better this time, So they're gonna come
31:26
Speaker 7: May twenty eighth, and then we're gonna be I'm gonna
31:28
Speaker 7: be showing.
31:28
Speaker 6: Them around Italy as much as possible.
31:30
Speaker 7: I'm still building their itinerary, and then we're gonna go
31:33
Speaker 7: back to Stateside June fifth.
31:35
Speaker 5: All right, that is awesome, just in time to see
31:38
Speaker 5: your brother graduate Bright perfect timing exactly. So now I
31:45
Speaker 5: know you've been having way too much fun, so you
31:47
Speaker 5: probably haven't been talking to your friends that are back here.
31:49
Speaker 5: Did you hear all the wildness that went down with
31:51
Speaker 5: the classes and the finals at Madison? It sounds like
31:54
Speaker 5: the software broke. Now are we doing the are we
31:57
Speaker 5: doing the finals in person? Or are they trusting it
31:59
Speaker 5: to the software that apparently blew up down there.
32:03
Speaker 7: So I honestly, a few of my friends, thankfully they
32:06
Speaker 7: I asked them about it. They all had professors that
32:08
Speaker 7: were very great with communication. Some of them pushed their
32:11
Speaker 7: exams back like a day or two, which some of
32:13
Speaker 7: my friends definitely needed that. So maybe it was a
32:15
Speaker 7: blessing in disguise that the canvas shut down, But I mean,
32:18
Speaker 7: I can't. I mean, during that period of time it
32:20
Speaker 7: was the most Two of my friends were just freaking
32:23
Speaker 7: out back at Madison because all the slides, everything is
32:25
Speaker 7: on that Canvas website. So the second it shut down.
32:28
Speaker 7: Half of them were excited, half of them were in despair.
32:31
Speaker 7: So I was trying to support them both. But I
32:34
Speaker 7: can't believe the timing of that.
32:36
Speaker 2: That was just what happened. Happened.
32:38
Speaker 5: I'm sorry like that, It's sorry you and you would
32:40
Speaker 5: be able to explain about Canvas.
32:42
Speaker 2: That's like the whole learning like that. That is the learning.
32:45
Speaker 5: Website, the platform from all of the all of the lesson.
32:50
Speaker 2: And tests and everything was on it and just went out.
32:54
Speaker 6: Everything went out.
32:54
Speaker 7: So basically, Canvas is this website that includes you can
32:57
Speaker 7: take exams on it. It has every single one of
33:00
Speaker 7: your slide shows, it has all of your assignments. It's
33:02
Speaker 7: basically anytime you sit down in a classroom, you have
33:06
Speaker 7: to open up Canvas so you can go through and
33:08
Speaker 7: understand what the lesson plan is. So of course study
33:11
Speaker 7: guys and everything. When finals come out, you're attached to Canvas. Well,
33:15
Speaker 7: apparently someone hacked the Canvas system, shutting down the entire
33:20
Speaker 7: system all across the country. So now students all throughout
33:24
Speaker 7: the US were having to deal with the fact that Canvas,
33:26
Speaker 7: which is their go to thing in order to study
33:29
Speaker 7: and do their exams or courses, is now out, so
33:33
Speaker 7: very poor timing, But again I will say TikTok, that
33:36
Speaker 7: day was entirely entertaining because just studying, and they're like, well,
33:41
Speaker 7: guess we'll just doom scroll and post plenty content there
33:44
Speaker 7: at time.
33:45
Speaker 5: Wow, they don't understand how many times I dreamed to this.
33:47
Speaker 5: You would love this, Billy, I had this dream every
33:51
Speaker 5: other day. Is that all of a sudden the whole
33:53
Speaker 5: campus portal is just gonna shut down?
33:56
Speaker 2: Sorry, if I can't do anything? Ever been your Roman
33:58
Speaker 2: Empire now?
33:59
Speaker 4: Like your greatest moment that would be yes, Oh my god,
34:02
Speaker 4: all these ransomware the jaggers are crazy these days.
34:05
Speaker 2: Wow.
34:06
Speaker 3: So you didn't miss out on that fun kate being
34:09
Speaker 3: where you are, But what about, like any any stuff
34:12
Speaker 3: with the Kapas, any stuff with your sisters. Was there
34:14
Speaker 3: a spring formal that you missed out on that you have?
34:16
Speaker 3: Did you have any fomo because those of us here
34:19
Speaker 3: Stateside totally have fomo with what your experience. I would
34:22
Speaker 3: trade place with you in a heartbeat. But what do
34:24
Speaker 3: you feel like you missed in the semester abroad?
34:28
Speaker 6: Oh?
34:28
Speaker 7: I missed those capa formals and we have our spring formal,
34:33
Speaker 7: we have our date parties. We have really fun day
34:35
Speaker 7: parties where it's kind of like anonymous invite to so
34:37
Speaker 7: you're able to send out like you don't know what
34:40
Speaker 7: the guys or girls that are invited have no idea
34:42
Speaker 7: who invited them. You just write the name down so
34:45
Speaker 7: they just are told to show up at this time,
34:47
Speaker 7: and it's always super fun when like everyone's trying to
34:49
Speaker 7: figure out who invited them.
34:50
Speaker 6: So that definitely had some FOMO from that event.
34:53
Speaker 7: I mean a bunch of my I'm in a business
34:55
Speaker 7: fraternity as well, all of my senior friends.
34:58
Speaker 6: All of them had their big moments.
35:00
Speaker 7: We had we have this thing called we have banquet,
35:02
Speaker 7: so they did a whole party bus that I wasn't
35:04
Speaker 7: able to be on and that looked so much fun.
35:07
Speaker 7: So definitely a lot of those student events, and I'm
35:11
Speaker 7: really going to miss my seniors that all graduated as well.
35:13
Speaker 7: But it's just it's been crazy, like living life from
35:17
Speaker 7: far away, like I was. I was at all this
35:19
Speaker 7: last semester, but now it's like I just it's so
35:21
Speaker 7: I feel so detached, but I'm excited to go back
35:24
Speaker 7: so I can see everyone.
35:25
Speaker 4: And seeing it through social media though that that's other things.
35:27
Speaker 4: So you're kind of acted but not connected. It's interesting.
35:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, the seventy degree days on the terrace in May
35:33
Speaker 3: are pretty good.
35:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, my friends drinking beers sit in a memorial union. Yeah,
35:39
Speaker 7: that's that's something I definitely do.
35:41
Speaker 6: Miss.
35:41
Speaker 7: I have been receiving a lot of phone calls though,
35:44
Speaker 7: and it's our time difference is extremely entertaining because I
35:48
Speaker 7: still don't I don't get the phomo from the drug
35:50
Speaker 7: phone calls from a majority of my friends. Anytime they're
35:53
Speaker 7: at these events, they still try to include me. But
35:56
Speaker 7: at this point, it's like five in the morning, six
35:58
Speaker 7: am my time when they start calling me. So then
36:00
Speaker 7: I'm woken up quite early in the morning to it.
36:03
Speaker 3: But I was gonna say, yeah, they're calling you on
36:07
Speaker 3: the way to class.
36:08
Speaker 2: When they're going to class, there can call you. That's
36:10
Speaker 2: the only time.
36:11
Speaker 3: But when they're out booze and you're shut down, you're done,
36:13
Speaker 3: your party's over.
36:15
Speaker 7: I'm out for the night that I'm picking up the
36:17
Speaker 7: phone of screaming on the other end, that's they're inside.
36:19
Speaker 7: I think it was Wanda's one night and they're like
36:21
Speaker 7: and they're like sherring a fish polar clock.
36:27
Speaker 3: That is spectacular. That is spectacular. All right, Well, Kate,
36:30
Speaker 3: get back to studying. You know, crush your exams. You've
36:33
Speaker 3: crushed this whole semester. Unbelievable. What a great time and

Speaker 3: oh man to have. Now you're going to be done
36:40
Speaker 3: and your parents are coming back to pick up some
36:42
Speaker 3: checks for you. You can, like, you know, you can go
36:44
Speaker 3: to some places that you wouldn't have gone by yourself.
36:45
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, make sure that itinerary is all
36:48
Speaker 5: the things that you wanted to do. And also you
36:50
Speaker 5: look at that bank account and said, all right, well sweet,
36:53

36:56
Speaker 2: Now it's all the culture tours and the music, all right,
37:01

37:13
Speaker 3: your brother graduate and you're gonna be the celebrations there.
37:16

Speaker 3: When you get home, you'll celebrate Will's graduation, and then
37:20
Speaker 3: we want you to come in for a recap for

Speaker 1: Man.
38:02
Speaker 5: And I'll tell you this, this makes me feel real old.
38:05
Speaker 5: I got I'm getting all the notifications of when I
38:07
Speaker 5: was in college. We took our study abroad trip, our
38:09
Speaker 5: week and a half it ten years ago, this week.
38:12
Speaker 5: Giddy up and all of a sudden you blink and
38:15
Speaker 5: realize how long it's been. Man, She's gonna have those
38:17
Speaker 5: memories forever. That is so much fun and my twenty
38:19
Speaker 5: year Marquette reunions coming up. That was like a call, Oh,

Speaker 5: you're about to be squalking.
38:23
Speaker 2: In there like Vince mcmah. I wish. Yeah.
38:25
Speaker 4: By the way, put Croatia the home of Tony Kuk coach.
38:27
Speaker 4: There you go where she went.
38:29
Speaker 3: I just thought, I can't not feel old just watching
38:33
Speaker 3: Sports Center. Like I said the other day, Ryan Weathers
38:36
Speaker 3: is flirting with a no hitter. It's like Ryan Weathers
38:38
Speaker 3: was a fat two year old running around the tunneling
38:40
Speaker 3: around the clubhouse with his dad, Dave, when I was
38:43
Speaker 3: covering the Brewers. It's like that fat little kid who
38:45
Speaker 3: his dad said was going to play offensive line for
38:47
Speaker 3: the Tide, his beloved Crimson Tide is now pitching in
38:50
Speaker 3: the Major league.
38:51
Speaker 2: Pitching in the major leagues. Oh my god, I want
38:53
Speaker 2: to feel old.
38:55
Speaker 4: Drive down my street and maybe, and maybe it's Ryan,
38:58
Speaker 4: because David Weathers definitely wasn't.
39:00
Speaker 2: Any stormy, no stormy stortorm classic. No, he was good.
39:03
Speaker 2: He was a good all timer. All right, Uh, good
39:06
Speaker 2: to talk to Kapa Kate.
39:07
Speaker 3: We're gonna have Wags join us at seven thirty Doc
39:09
Speaker 3: Hounds tonight. We are gonna talk more about the Packer schedule,
39:13
Speaker 3: your thoughts about it, if you got anything you want
39:14
Speaker 3: to dump your your bucket about the schedule, and we're
39:17
Speaker 3: gonna talk Brewers because some good stuff happening over at
39:20
Speaker 3: American Family Field. You're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
39:27
Speaker 3: The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew, Billy and Armon
39:29
Speaker 3: bringing it to you from headquarters on this Friday in
39:31
Speaker 3: the good Land. We're headed for a great weekend. We've
39:33
Speaker 3: got the Packers schedule. We've got Brewers, twins Brewers. A
39:36
Speaker 3: five and one home stand should have been six and
39:38
Speaker 3: o five and one, though, can't quibble.
39:41
Speaker 2: No, that's one that you want to get back.
39:43
Speaker 5: But uh, being able to have a five and one
39:45
Speaker 5: home stand in the midst of a may drew where you,
39:48
Speaker 5: as we're talking about Packers schedule, you're trying to find
39:50
Speaker 5: the soft underbellies and the tough runs. This is one
39:53
Speaker 5: of those that you looked at and said, ooh, that's
39:55
Speaker 5: a that's a little bit of a daunting may And
39:57
Speaker 5: to have a five and one home stand right there
39:58
Speaker 5: in the middle of it. W if guys coming back
40:02
Speaker 5: albeit for four at bats and Christian yell, it's just
40:04
Speaker 5: sake you like to be able to see that thing
40:06
Speaker 5: rolling while I mean, Surio's kind of struggling since coming
40:10
Speaker 5: back after that one big game, like you're finding ways
40:12
Speaker 5: to win when your big guns are still not necessarily
40:15
Speaker 5: humming on full cylinder.
40:17
Speaker 4: It's a cliche too, but I think it's impressive seeing
40:19
Speaker 4: them get right back off the mat after losing the
40:21
Speaker 4: game the way they did on you know, Wednesday night,
40:24
Speaker 4: kind of a heartbreaker.
40:25
Speaker 2: You could let that linger into a day game. Boom
40:27
Speaker 2: right away.
40:28
Speaker 4: We're gonna put up runs, We're gonna take control of
40:29
Speaker 4: the series. We're gonna get out the matt respond to adversity.
40:32
Speaker 4: It's kind of cliche, but I like the way they
40:34
Speaker 4: responded to adversity. They show a little metal and character
40:37
Speaker 4: that was huge.
40:37
Speaker 3: Yeah liking it, And yeah, Ren hefo suddenly a hit machine.
40:41
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say, you were on it earlier
40:43
Speaker 5: in the week and he he was kind of in
40:45
Speaker 5: the middle of everything on Tuesday night, and then the
40:47
Speaker 5: last two nights he's been nails. I wonder drew how
40:51
Speaker 5: much he would admit or if it did or didn't
40:54
Speaker 5: affect him, Like how different his role is here that
40:56
Speaker 5: it has been in years past.
40:57
Speaker 6: Right.
40:58
Speaker 5: I mean, he's been an everyday player pretty much the
40:59
Speaker 5: rest of his career, and now he's kind of relegated
41:02
Speaker 5: to a little bit of a platoon and whenever you
41:05
Speaker 5: start rolling.
41:05
Speaker 2: He's one of the woodpeckers.
41:06
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, they're still they're still doing the small market rallies.
41:10
Speaker 2: That still cracks me up.
41:11
Speaker 5: The four walks yesterday in a row, I meant I
41:15
Speaker 5: made the crack of a small market rally. I had
41:17
Speaker 5: to explain it to my wife. She didn't necessarily understand it.
41:19
Speaker 5: Then I rephrased it to It's like when the young
41:22
Speaker 5: guns would show up to the well established slow pitch
41:26
Speaker 5: softball and the fifty something sixty year old group was like, Hey,
41:30
Speaker 5: we're gonna teach these young young kids something.
41:33
Speaker 2: You better be dotting this plate.
41:35
Speaker 5: Otherwise we are going to walk around this entire thing
41:38
Speaker 5: and it's going to be the worst night ever for
41:40
Speaker 5: that young man standing on the pitcher's mountain.
41:41
Speaker 3: When you played hoops against guys who are old and slow,
41:44
Speaker 3: and they had the old man moves and all knew
41:46
Speaker 3: how to god, they knew how to hold down your
41:48
Speaker 3: they'd hand check you and hold your hip down so
41:50
Speaker 3: you couldn't jump. They would do like little things when
41:52
Speaker 3: they're boxing out. They just old man moves. You learn
41:54
Speaker 3: that stuff and it's like you don't know it. You're
41:57
Speaker 3: getting by on athleticism and youth. But the Brewer they
42:00
Speaker 3: have figured they've cracked the code and we're gonna talk
42:03
Speaker 3: to Wags and you can't you can't emphasize it enough.
42:06
Speaker 3: They're winning with pitching. That they're pitching like they're starting
42:08
Speaker 3: pitching was ridiculous. This homestand it's it's been great and.
42:12
Speaker 5: They're starting pitching was the one thing Drew that I
42:14
Speaker 5: was like slightly worried about coming into the year because
42:17
Speaker 5: there was so much use and so much inexperience.
42:19
Speaker 2: And do you really miss Freddy Barolta that much? Not
42:23
Speaker 2: really at all?
42:23
Speaker 3: Is that a glaring hole right now? No, And they
42:26
Speaker 3: don't have Priester and they're gonna get him back.
42:28
Speaker 2: They filled in the spot nicely.
42:30
Speaker 5: The only time I've thought about Freddy was when I
42:31
Speaker 5: keep seeing these rumblings that the Cubs are going to
42:34
Speaker 5: be trying to trade for him if the Mets keeps slide.
42:36
Speaker 3: I can't talk enough about miss and that's that's also good.
