- 2:56Speaker 2: of weeks ago, in honor of Phil Garner, his little frustration.
- 3:02Speaker 5: Venting after games hot take. Nothing is gonna top what

- 3:13Speaker 5: I'll take that. I sent it to your I sent
- 3:16Speaker 5: it to your your email account. But yeah, it is.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Uh, there's nothing better than being able to bask in
- 3:22Speaker 2: the glow of one of the all time greatest rants
- 3:25Speaker 2: against the fan base that you're ever gonna find. Armann
- 3:28Speaker 2: sent us the hell McCray rant, which is again a
- 3:32Speaker 2: tough one to top.
- 3:32Speaker 5: It's tough, but yeah, it's that was lee Elia. If
- 3:36Speaker 5: you're going to be known for something be legendary, right,
- 3:39Speaker 5: if you're running the all, you go out and do
- 3:41Speaker 5: it the right way. Ken had a storied career in baseball,
- 3:44Speaker 5: but he's known for the f bomb laden tirade captured
- 3:49Speaker 5: by the great, late great Les Grobs.
- 3:51Speaker 2: I was gonna say, and if it wasn't for if
- 3:52Speaker 2: it wasn't for Grobber walking around with a twenty pound
- 3:55Speaker 2: audio pack around his shoulder the early days of the
- 3:58Speaker 2: audio satchel, we would never have had this. And also,
- 4:02Speaker 2: you want to talk about somebody that has had everything
- 4:04Speaker 2: in honor of Tomos.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Les Crobstein at everything. All Right, here we go, guys,
- 4:10Speaker 1: you ready, Hi, let's forty three years ago today.
- 4:13Speaker 8: I'll tell you one thing. I hope we get hotter
- 4:16Speaker 8: and just to stuff it up them three thousand people
- 4:19Speaker 8: that show up every day, because if they're the real
- 4:25Speaker 8: Chicago fans, they can kiss my right downtown and print it.
- 4:32Speaker 8: They're really really behind you around here. Live am I
- 4:38Speaker 8: supposed to do? Go out there and let my players
- 4:41Speaker 8: get destroyed every day and be quiet about it. For
- 4:44Speaker 8: the nickel Dine people to show up. The monk don't
- 4:47Speaker 8: even work, that's why they're on at the game, by god,
- 4:51Speaker 8: and get a job and find out what it's like
- 4:53Speaker 8: to go out there in a living. Ayy five percent
- 4:57Speaker 8: who worlds working? The other fifteen come out here play.
- 5:03Speaker 6: That's knowing your fan base, players.
- 5:11Speaker 8: The guys enough people. What's the gun Mike?
- 5:19Speaker 6: Oh good god, it'll never get old.
- 5:23Speaker 1: The thing with the Helmut Gray's printed is the visual
- 5:27Speaker 1: is better with the helmet grey because he's throwing the coke,
- 5:29Speaker 1: he's throwing the phone, the guys walking out with the
- 5:32Speaker 1: bloody face, the cameraman, so you need.
- 5:34Speaker 5: That was that was my guy? Uh goop, alan Es
- 5:38Speaker 5: got hit with Wow.
- 5:41Speaker 6: Unbelievable.
- 5:42Speaker 5: So yeah, Lee Elia Day, great rants of all time.
- 5:46Speaker 5: That's hard to top. That one hard to top.
- 5:48Speaker 2: And as much as we uh and like you know,
- 5:51Speaker 2: fans didn't necessarily love when Murph said, Hey, why are
- 5:53Speaker 2: you guys booing? Our guys are guys are playing I
- 5:57Speaker 2: We're never gonna get Murph.
- 5:58Speaker 5: I don't believe to go out and a.
- 6:00Speaker 2: But when I hear that, all I do think of
- 6:03Speaker 2: is man if AI could just put Pat Murphy smiling
- 6:07Speaker 2: with all of you guys, all those guys in flannel
- 6:09Speaker 2: around and all of a sudden fire that right out
- 6:12Speaker 2: of the mouth.
- 6:12Speaker 6: I might watch that video NonStop.
- 6:14Speaker 5: That might never that might never get out of my algorithm. Murph,
- 6:18Speaker 5: Murph has that in him, but he's he's not gonna
- 6:21Speaker 5: let that publicly. What do you think fifteen years ago?
- 6:23Speaker 5: You think Murph could have let one of those things
- 6:25Speaker 5: out in his ASU days.
- 6:27Speaker 2: In his ASU days, I think he could, But now
- 6:29Speaker 2: he is definitely toned down.
- 6:31Speaker 5: Well, and the shaw on the talking text line eight
- 6:33Speaker 5: seven seven seven three is Murph reminding us all of
- 6:37Speaker 5: Ted Lasso?
- 6:39Speaker 3: That's a good question.
- 6:40Speaker 5: Last, by the way, Ted Lasso coming back in August. Oh,
- 6:43Speaker 5: it is all right, let's go new season. That means
- 6:47Speaker 5: at some point I'm gonna have to binge all the
- 6:48Speaker 5: old shows. Yeah, I guess Apple TV. I gotta start over,
- 6:51Speaker 5: yea ted Lasso but coming back August fifth, the new
- 6:54Speaker 5: season of ted Lasso, I.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Don't necessarily know if he's full because like the only
- 6:58Speaker 2: reason why I would I would call against ted Lasso
- 7:01Speaker 2: is that would make him sound like he doesn't know ball, right,
- 7:04Speaker 2: MERV knows every intricacy in and out of the game,
- 7:07Speaker 2: even though he might say that he likes football and
- 7:09Speaker 2: boxing better right like he might enjoy another sport a
- 7:13Speaker 2: little bit better. But he's gonna continue to have some
- 7:16Speaker 2: ted Lasso isms in him. But I don't know unless
- 7:19Speaker 2: unless they start uh smacking a belief sign when they
- 7:22Speaker 2: walk out of the clubhouse. Then then I'll start putting
- 7:24Speaker 2: the ted Lasso in. And I mean, let alone. We
- 7:27Speaker 2: don't want him playing. Murt's probably really good darts player,
- 7:30Speaker 2: though probably I don't think anybody. I don't think Mark
- 7:33Speaker 2: Attanasio is sleeping on on Murph's ability to play.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Dark, you know, slapping the wall that he had the
- 7:37Speaker 1: whole power friendship thing. Mrv's been around too long and
- 7:40Speaker 1: has adjusted too much now and balance his life too
- 7:42Speaker 1: well to not be dead. Least I'll type like I
- 7:44Speaker 1: don't think he'd get mad like that anymore, really, or
- 7:47Speaker 1: going a rant like that because he's not wound as
- 7:49Speaker 1: tight as he probably wonts.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Well, Teddy's a little dead. Ted Ted's dead is different. Yeah,
- 7:53Speaker 2: ted Ted's rant was a little bit more, uh, you know,
- 7:56Speaker 2: because he didn't have the peanut butter out where he
- 7:58Speaker 2: was able to scrab a little finger full and run
- 8:01Speaker 2: through it. We had a hot take on the talking
- 8:02Speaker 2: text line from our friend Matt and Wassaw hot take,
- 8:05Speaker 2: Jagger Burton your week one starter at center, Sean Ryan
- 8:09Speaker 2: moves back to guard, Drew I had to clarify.
- 8:12Speaker 6: Bumpin' slim down, trim down.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Anthony Belton, he said, out of a job and moving
- 8:17Speaker 2: Sean Ryan over to right guard.
- 8:19Speaker 6: I don't know that he's their week one starting center.
- 8:22Speaker 2: I do think Jagger Burton had a chance to potentially
- 8:24Speaker 2: be one of the guys that starts on that five
- 8:26Speaker 2: at guard up front.
- 8:27Speaker 5: Yeah is that where Yeah it could be a right guard. Yeah,
- 8:30Speaker 5: I would think he's in that mix. Center's not out
- 8:33Speaker 5: of the question. But the Sean Ryan thing. They paid
- 8:36Speaker 5: him center money, right and he's like kind of expect
- 8:38Speaker 5: him to take that, and he's got the familiarity and
- 8:40Speaker 5: they want.
- 8:41Speaker 2: To be especially since he there was like the one
- 8:43Speaker 2: spot that you kind of feel like you may have
- 8:45Speaker 2: unlocked him. Right, if there's one thing and one guy
- 8:48Speaker 2: that you may feel really good about coming out of
- 8:50Speaker 2: last year, the offensive line didn't drape themselves in no
- 8:54Speaker 2: optimism and glory and especially excitement rolling into twenty twenty six.
- 8:57Speaker 5: In the running game, being nice to have some explosive
- 8:59Speaker 5: runs or some one way or another.
- 9:01Speaker 2: And maybe that's where you think Burton adds a little
- 9:04Speaker 2: bit of nasty and a little aggression. I'm telling I'm
- 9:06Speaker 2: here to tell you. And Wayne Lairvie was continually singing
- 9:09Speaker 2: the praises. He said, Anthony Belton is almost unrecognizable, how
- 9:12Speaker 2: much weight he lost and how slim down and trimmed down.
- 9:14Speaker 2: He looks that to me, Drew sounded like Anthony Belton
- 9:17Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily isn't setting himself only at guard and he
- 9:21Speaker 2: might have some eyes towards one of those tackle spots.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Because we're assuming that Zach Tom's just gonna walk in
- 9:27Speaker 2: off a patella tendon injury and start Week one.
- 9:30Speaker 5: That's the rub. If they're without Parsons and without Zach
- 9:34Speaker 5: Tom again, they were missing three to four of their
- 9:38Speaker 5: best players, of their best guys, yeah, one percent, and
- 9:41Speaker 5: it's like okay, well, and then it might start the season.
- 9:44Speaker 5: It's not how you start, it's how you finish. So
- 9:47Speaker 5: if Parsons misses what two three games, is it possibly
- 9:50Speaker 5: he misses the first month.
- 9:51Speaker 2: In all reality, Drew, I wouldn't be surprised if you
- 9:54Speaker 2: saw all three of those guys on pup to start
- 9:56Speaker 2: the years, Tom Craft and Parsons. I would struggle to
- 10:01Speaker 2: think they all.
- 10:02Speaker 5: What they're gonna take. The high side of caution.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Would say Tucker's was the earliest in the middle of November. Right,
- 10:08Speaker 2: the Carolina game was middle of November. That's still a
- 10:11Speaker 2: heck of a sprint to being able to be ready
- 10:13Speaker 2: week one. And like you said, high side of caution,
- 10:16Speaker 2: I think that would feel like a pup for both.
- 10:18Speaker 5: Then you get so spoiled by the outlier because Watson
- 10:20Speaker 5: came back pretty quickly, damn near.
- 10:22Speaker 6: Not everybody does not.
- 10:24Speaker 5: Everybody's different, every rehab, every injury is different everybody, but
- 10:27Speaker 5: He's body chemistry is different. Hard to gauge it.
- 10:30Speaker 2: The tough thing for Watson is we were all staying
- 10:32Speaker 2: in there at training camp saying like I don't know,
- 10:34Speaker 2: I think this guy could probably.
- 10:36Speaker 5: He looks good enough in the sprint, it looks like
- 10:39Speaker 5: he could probably go, and they still held him out
- 10:41Speaker 5: till what week six? So I struggle to think that
- 10:45Speaker 5: they're just going to roll in healthy as what. I
- 10:48Speaker 5: think there's a possibility Burton starts, but I don't know
- 10:51Speaker 5: if it moves Sean Ryan. I think I'm comfortable giving
- 10:54Speaker 5: him the opportunity to win that.
- 10:55Speaker 6: Job right away. So good breakdown.
- 10:57Speaker 5: So all right, So who's your right tackle? If it's
- 11:00Speaker 5: not Tom If we assume Morgan's gonna hold down.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Left, that's where I think it would be. Anthony Belton
- 11:04Speaker 2: would be your right tackle at that that's not I
- 11:06Speaker 2: don't hate that.
- 11:07Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't hate that either, because he's got the footwork.
- 11:09Speaker 2: In last year he looked explosive enough and athletic enough
- 11:13Speaker 2: to play outside and that's where they started him for
- 11:15Speaker 2: the majority of the time.
- 11:17Speaker 5: Was that one of the flaws in field? There's probably
- 11:20Speaker 5: a lot of doovers that they'd like from last year,
- 11:22Speaker 5: but was one of the flaws continually like rolling down
- 11:26Speaker 5: with Rashid, I mean, and not hooking him and making
- 11:30Speaker 5: a change there.
- 11:30Speaker 6: See, I don't even know if it was as much that.
- 11:32Speaker 2: I think it was how they handled the Jordan Morgan
- 11:36Speaker 2: development right Like, I just still believe if you have
- 11:39Speaker 2: somebody that you want to at the end of the
- 11:42Speaker 2: day be your left tackle, and he's clearly struggling flipping
- 11:46Speaker 2: to the right side, to the left side, to the
- 11:47Speaker 2: right side, to the left side, back to the right side.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Now maybe back to the right side at some point,
- 11:52Speaker 2: just let him be a left side guy because he
- 11:54Speaker 2: ultimately needed that with Aaron Banks going down. I think
- 11:58Speaker 2: Rashid played well enough to continually play, but very much
- 12:05Speaker 2: gave himself an opportunity to have that job taken. Right Like,
- 12:07Speaker 2: I think if they wouldn't have had maybe if they
- 12:09Speaker 2: wouldn't have had the injuries around at the guard spots three,
- 12:12Speaker 2: that might be a less clumsy way of saying it.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Then they would have maybe experimented because they were trying
- 12:17Speaker 2: to get him onto the field all throughout the year,
- 12:20Speaker 2: but at some point during the year in the back
- 12:23Speaker 2: of their mind, I don't think I think they were
- 12:25Speaker 2: hoping for Rashid Walker to play his way into a
- 12:28Speaker 2: second contract.
- 12:29Speaker 5: Any of the offensive line guys. Part of that the
- 12:32Speaker 5: malaise and guys not happy with their roles and stuff.
- 12:34Speaker 5: I mean, I think Morgan would be the one you
- 12:37Speaker 5: would think.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I thought he would be the one
- 12:39Speaker 2: of like, hey, I'm clearly a left side guy. I
- 12:42Speaker 2: did everything I possibly could to bounce all around and
- 12:44Speaker 2: try to win one of the spots.
- 12:46Speaker 6: And then I still don't get it.
- 12:47Speaker 2: But for for for big guys to be frustrating their roles,
- 12:51Speaker 2: it's just a tough it's.
- 12:52Speaker 5: A tough spot, right, It's a tough it's a tough.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Life to be living if you're gonna be the frustrated
- 12:57Speaker 2: offensive line movie role because generally that squeaky wheel at
- 13:01Speaker 2: getting whole lot agree.
- 13:02Speaker 1: It also was not an unbelievable unit by any stretch
- 13:04Speaker 1: last year. So if you're frustrated, go take control one
- 13:07Speaker 1: of these spots, to go be the best guy you
- 13:09Speaker 1: can be on those spots and make the club not
- 13:11Speaker 1: move you.
- 13:11Speaker 5: You know, that'd be mine.
- 13:12Speaker 2: I don't think it's a hot take to say it
- 13:13Speaker 2: was their their worst performing offensive line in.
- 13:17Speaker 6: Almost two decades. I think that's an easy thing to say.
- 13:19Speaker 1: It really felt that way at least in the moment,
- 13:21Speaker 1: especially that Browns game. But it really felt that way. Yeah,
- 13:24Speaker 1: So I would agree with you Billy no die. You know,
- 13:26Speaker 1: you go back and think of years. Maybe if we
- 13:29Speaker 1: went back in our our our memory banks to try
- 13:31Speaker 1: and go through each year and what what the guys were,
- 13:33Speaker 1: but especially on paper.
- 13:35Speaker 5: Yeah, man, funny because when we were analyzing this the
- 13:38Speaker 5: recent draft, and people said, who's going to have the
- 13:41Speaker 5: impact first? Like I said, if you consider yourself a
- 13:44Speaker 5: Super Bowl contender, the idea that you're going to get
- 13:46Speaker 5: like that you need immediate impact from your draft class
- 13:49Speaker 5: and from the rookies.
- 13:50Speaker 6: Is that that's folly. Yeah, it's hard, it's hard to equate.
- 13:54Speaker 5: It's a bonus, but it's like you you kind of
- 13:56Speaker 5: that's not the blueprint being a super Bowl teams like, well,
- 13:59Speaker 5: if this guy performed in the draft that we've never
- 14:00Speaker 5: seen play in the NFL, right, that's like a.
- 14:03Speaker 6: Lot of hope there.
- 14:04Speaker 5: Yes, that said though when my answer was McClellan right away, right,
- 14:10Speaker 5: because may up being the best guyst twenty Yeah, right,
- 14:13Speaker 5: So my definite years and it's harder to learn that
- 14:16Speaker 5: position to the learning curve. But I I just as
- 14:19Speaker 5: I think of McClellan and what he looked in the
- 14:21Speaker 5: way he got better in the second half of an
- 14:23Speaker 5: SEC season, I just flashed back to that Baltimore game
- 14:26Speaker 5: when they couldn't stop anybo anything, and it's like, dude,
- 14:30Speaker 5: he's kind of get some burn and he's got to
- 14:32Speaker 5: be productive, and he's going to get the chance to
- 14:35Speaker 5: make an impact and the amount of the amount of
- 14:37Speaker 5: snap says I've been thinking about it more. You're right,
- 14:40Speaker 5: he's going to get the volume because two of the
- 14:41Speaker 5: guys that you're counting on, right, there were two dudes
- 14:44Speaker 5: that they banked on being significant players for him last
- 14:47Speaker 5: year and Warren Brinson in his zer stackhouse.
- 14:49Speaker 6: Ye, well, they haven't dominated it. They didn't playing time.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Didn't you bring in somebody a little bit more highly
- 14:55Speaker 2: regarded in the higher draft pick to take some of
- 14:57Speaker 2: those snaps. The other injury is DeVante Why I have
- 15:00Speaker 2: almost like the least concern coming back because it felt
- 15:03Speaker 2: more clean break, get back onto the field, rehab through,
- 15:07Speaker 2: but staying healthy has been a massive concern for him
- 15:10Speaker 2: throughout his career.
- 15:11Speaker 5: He skated on that too. It's like Christian Watson gets
- 15:14Speaker 5: hurt all the time. The guy's a China doll, Like, well,
- 15:16Speaker 5: why it's.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Miss and and drafted in the same in the same
- 15:22Speaker 2: breath as Kway Walker didn't take nearly the amount of
- 15:25Speaker 2: heat that Walker did. No, I mean didn't make the
- 15:27Speaker 2: amount of consistent plays that Walker did either, So like
- 15:30Speaker 2: that's a I just I want to be extremely pumped
- 15:35Speaker 2: up and excited, and like you you mentioned it, You're
- 15:37Speaker 2: never gonna walk out of the draft and be like,
- 15:39Speaker 2: all right now ticketed to l A, Like this is
- 15:43Speaker 2: this is now how we're getting to sofi winning the Bowl.
- 15:47Speaker 2: But I saw them in a Power Rankings at like
- 15:49Speaker 2: seven yesterday and I was like, ooh, that almost feels
- 15:54Speaker 2: a little high. Almost almost feels a little high. Maybe
- 15:57Speaker 2: it's just because I they're so far removed for the
- 16:00Speaker 2: best that the football was in twenty twenty five and
- 16:03Speaker 2: you're still checkered with five consecutive l's on the way out.
- 16:06Speaker 2: But it does feel like it's gonna be a little
- 16:08Speaker 2: bit harder to fill out all of their football team, right.
- 16:11Speaker 5: It is hard to transport yourself back to the first
- 16:13Speaker 5: half of at Denver yes when they were rolling and
- 16:17Speaker 5: looking like a team that could be playing in the
- 16:19Speaker 5: Super Bowl.
- 16:20Speaker 6: Change so quick, michaeh.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Obviously, you get your first explosive run from Jash Jacobson.
- 16:25Speaker 2: It felt like a decade. He's probably about four weeks.
- 16:27Speaker 2: And Zach Tom getting hurt in that game too, right,
- 16:29Speaker 2: the same one.
- 16:30Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, because there were moments last year where you
- 16:32Speaker 1: felt after the Pittsburgh game that second half was a
- 16:35Speaker 1: great coming just for there are moments. But and then
- 16:38Speaker 1: to jump on that, we have a kind of a
- 16:40Speaker 1: hot take Iowa five to one five on the text
- 16:42Speaker 1: line he said that outside the Packer bubble, the Packers
- 16:45Speaker 1: are mediocre. That's his hot take, and talk about the
- 16:48Speaker 1: athletic power rankings and stuff like that.
- 16:50Speaker 6: The Packers below Chicago and Detroit might be a long year.
- 16:54Speaker 1: It is interesting to think about do we walk into
- 16:55Speaker 1: the they are losing town as well from you know,
- 16:58Speaker 1: the pre agency, there's a little transition how good the
- 17:01Speaker 1: Packers will be up to the bank.
- 17:05Speaker 6: And the Lions weren't good last year.
- 17:06Speaker 1: So there's a lot of ways to look at this.
- 17:08Speaker 1: And we know how small the margins are in the NFL.
- 17:11Speaker 1: Things change quickly, But are we in for a worst
- 17:14Speaker 1: year than we expect or what the expectations are based
- 17:16Speaker 1: on what you say, Billy, I think it's pretty interesting, but.
- 17:18Speaker 5: Also the development of some of their guys.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Drew Red like last year, their defense was was built
- 17:23Speaker 2: upon Drian Cooper being one of like the top five
- 17:26Speaker 2: guys at the position.
- 17:27Speaker 6: He was good. He wasn't that, but wasn't that.
- 17:30Speaker 2: So now you see if you can get the development
- 17:33Speaker 2: you were thinking in the year two and year three
- 17:34Speaker 2: out of some of these guys who you've identified as
- 17:36Speaker 2: your core guys.
- 17:37Speaker 5: Well, Gannon's first year mirror would be better than Halfley's
- 17:41Speaker 5: first year.
- 17:43Speaker 1: It was a great question. I think it's got to
- 17:46Speaker 1: be if you wanted this team to do what we
- 17:47Speaker 1: hope they do.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Well, Definitely, I think is I will I'm gonna go
- 17:51Speaker 2: with yes, because I think Sutton is going to be
- 17:54Speaker 2: a legit dude on the outside and I think once
- 17:56Speaker 2: Micah comes back that pairing will be will be four. Also,
- 18:00Speaker 2: Zavier McKinney can't drop seven picks this year, that's right, Like,
- 18:03Speaker 2: I mean, that's one of the toughest parts of If
- 18:07Speaker 2: the turnover up and down scale is as dramatic as
- 18:10Speaker 2: as everybody hammered home last year with the Vikings, well
- 18:13Speaker 2: then the Packers are in for some kind of luck
- 18:15Speaker 2: to change.
- 18:16Speaker 5: Also, are we also underrating the change of sceneries? I
- 18:20Speaker 5: hear Franklin acquisition. I like that one a lot. Well,
- 18:23Speaker 5: he I mean, we just kind of forget that he's
- 18:24Speaker 5: in the mix, right, But that to me is an
- 18:27Speaker 5: upgrade over what they were running out there.
- 18:29Speaker 2: And he instantly becomes your green dot guy, a dude
- 18:31Speaker 2: that has seen everything in the NFL.
- 18:32Speaker 5: I'm with you on that.
- 18:34Speaker 2: And the other one is where the Gann into Halfley thing,
- 18:38Speaker 2: especially his past year. You know, it sounded really good
- 18:41Speaker 2: when Halfley was in front of a microphone, and I'm
- 18:43Speaker 2: not taking anything away from his credentials, but it's not
- 18:45Speaker 2: like they're their statistics in their defensive performance all year long.
- 18:49Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying.
- 18:50Speaker 2: It's like it seemed like just jumping into a head
- 18:52Speaker 2: coach and and it seemed like he was better the
- 18:54Speaker 2: first year.
- 18:55Speaker 6: Yes, they're definitely better earlier than last year.
- 18:58Speaker 5: Like you said, when you know you got a guy
- 19:00Speaker 5: and picking off passes like the first six to seven games,
- 19:03Speaker 5: that makes you look good.
- 19:04Speaker 6: Yeah, that'll make it. That'll make it a little bit easier.
- 19:07Speaker 2: It just they weren't as consistent last year as you
- 19:10Speaker 2: ever felt like they should have been. Because man, that
- 19:13Speaker 2: first two weeks, I mean that defense, those first two
- 19:16Speaker 2: weeks we were talking about like this is gonna be
- 19:18Speaker 2: the most exciting thing and e US watch all year
- 19:21Speaker 2: lost swarming.
- 19:22Speaker 5: They were fast, it was playing downhill was incredible.
- 19:25Speaker 2: And by the end of the year it felt like
- 19:26Speaker 2: you were just hanging on for dear life. So I
- 19:28Speaker 2: just couldn't stop. Anybody couldn't get off the field on
- 19:30Speaker 2: third and twenty.
- 19:31Speaker 5: And it was.
- 19:31Speaker 2: It couldn't have been only a couple of the injuries
- 19:33Speaker 2: that you had, because you had injuries, no doubt about it.
- 19:35Speaker 2: But there's there's too many depth questions for me to
- 19:38Speaker 2: feel real lock and key about them being one of
- 19:42Speaker 2: the most consistent and legit Super Bowl contenders. That being said,
- 19:47Speaker 2: last year day after the NFL Draft, I think it
- 19:49Speaker 2: was the Tuesday of the NFL Draft, Isaiah Simmons got signed.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Mentioned it a couple of times. Now they don't get
- 19:54Speaker 2: signed onto the compensitory pick. Hot take is this week
- 19:56Speaker 2: there will be a new member of the Green Bay
- 19:58Speaker 2: Packers from a veteran variety.
- 20:00Speaker 5: I don't know if it will be a Las Campbell.
- 20:02Speaker 5: I don't I would love it to be Campbell. I
- 20:05Speaker 5: would love it to be Khalis Campbell, but I think
- 20:08Speaker 5: it's gonna be one of the name defensive guys. Who's
- 20:12Speaker 5: a veteran player that's still hanging out there. There's a
- 20:14Speaker 5: number of them, whether it's Joey Bosa von Miller who
- 20:17Speaker 5: might be skeletal remains not tre Cam Jordan can still play,
- 20:21Speaker 5: might be Trayvon Diggs. They're gonna find him a new
- 20:23Speaker 5: number back. They're gonna they're gonna add have already brought it.
- 20:27Speaker 5: They're gonna add one veteran.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but they they couldn't until now if the
- 20:31Speaker 2: number of accounting towards their compensatory values. So like I
- 20:33Speaker 2: just I think there's there's going to be one veteran
- 20:36Speaker 2: signed and it's gonna be rather soon here for the team.
- 20:38Speaker 5: Okay, that's a good hot take. That's a prediction, but
- 20:41Speaker 5: we'll we'll allow it. Uh time for our current electric
- 20:44Speaker 5: Hero of the day called current dot Com is the website,
- 20:47Speaker 5: and I think we got to go with the guy
- 20:49Speaker 5: behind the Guy behind the guy, the guy who inspired
- 20:51Speaker 5: the flannel tribute at the Brewers game last night. So
- 20:55Speaker 5: we're gonna give our current electric hero superhero the day
- 20:59Speaker 5: is gonna be Spencer Willy And then let's go to
- 21:01Speaker 5: Hunter Bombguart's recap and spin through it again because he
- 21:04Speaker 5: mentions the proceedings, Let's do it. Throw it to Hunter,
- 21:06Speaker 5: take it away Hunter. Thanks guys.
- 21:08Speaker 10: The Brewers get a thirteen to two win over the
- 21:10Speaker 10: Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night at American Family Field. Boy
- 21:14Speaker 10: Ol Boy Sal Freeli got the scoring going early with
- 21:16Speaker 10: a home run for his first home run since a
- 21:18Speaker 10: week ago Saturday, when Rang homer it in Miami. So
- 21:20Speaker 10: that stops that streak. And then they scored eight runs
- 21:23Speaker 10: in the sixth inning. Freelick started that ending with a
- 21:25Speaker 10: single and then a bun single by David Hamilton. Have
- 21:28Speaker 10: you noticed how much David Hamilton is bunting?
- 21:31Speaker 3: I asked him about it after the game.
- 21:32Speaker 10: How much has your confidence grown with bunting in the
- 21:35Speaker 10: last month or so seeing the success theyre having it
- 21:38Speaker 10: with it.
- 21:38Speaker 6: I've never I feel like I've never really been that
- 21:40Speaker 6: good of a bunner. You know, I don't really know
- 21:43Speaker 6: what happened.
- 21:43Speaker 5: I think it was a smurf and Spring always telling
- 21:45Speaker 5: me to bunt, to use the speed and just practice
- 21:49Speaker 5: it every day, and yeah, it's gotten better.
- 21:51Speaker 10: And also Garrett Mitchell has been in the middle of
- 21:53Speaker 10: the offense all season long. Pat Murphy telling us after
- 21:56Speaker 10: the game that he wasn't so sure that Mitchell was
- 21:59Speaker 10: ready at the start of the season to be at
- 22:01Speaker 10: the major league level.
- 22:02Speaker 3: He's proved him wrong.
- 22:03Speaker 9: He's hungry. He's hungry.
- 22:04Speaker 7: He's hungry. He's hungry. You know, like as bad as
- 22:07Speaker 7: spring training as you could have. He needed that time. Again,
- 22:09Speaker 7: I didn't think he was ready. I thought, hey, give
- 22:11Speaker 7: go to cinematrip play. Let him get comfortable, dive and
- 22:14Speaker 7: slide into all that kind of stuff. And he's He's
- 22:16Speaker 7: proven us, proven me wrong. He's ready, and he's done
- 22:19Speaker 7: a really nice job.
- 22:20Speaker 10: So the Burg's goet a thirteen to two win. They
- 22:22Speaker 10: also get a win on flannel Night. Yes, a bunch

- 23:52Speaker 5: LFE the Admirals. They ended their season on Sunday in
- 23:56Speaker 5: Winnipeg with the loss to the Moose, Stupid Manitoba Moose.
- 24:00Speaker 5: We'll be moving on. The Admirals will not be playing
- 24:02Speaker 5: in the conference finals for the third straight year, but
- 24:04Speaker 5: we'll talk to John Greenberg and put a bow on
- 24:06Speaker 5: the season and talk a little puck and look forward
- 24:08Speaker 5: to the next year. El Hefe is next. It's the Huddle.
- 24:11Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. We're we're on the iHeart app
- 24:20Speaker 5: Drew billion Arman, Hail to the Chief, Hail to John Greenberg,
- 24:25Speaker 5: l Hafe, President of Milwaukee, Admiral's friend of the Huddle,
- 24:28Speaker 5: and it's our last visit of this twenty twenty five
- 24:32Speaker 5: twenty twenty six season. Greeney, welcome to the program, and
- 24:35Speaker 5: we're bummed that it's over, but we got to say
- 24:38Speaker 5: it was a great ride as always.
- 24:41Speaker 9: Well thanks guys. It's certainly unfortunate that it ends in April.
- 24:46Speaker 9: We're not used to that around here. But it was
- 24:49Speaker 9: a really fun year. And thanks to all you guys
- 24:52Speaker 9: for helping me spread the word and everything that the
- 24:56Speaker 9: station does to get our games on the air and
- 25:00Speaker 9: you know, get us out there in front of everybody.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Well and John you mentioned it to have a season
- 25:06Speaker 2: where the attendance hits different record numbers and consistently getting
- 25:13Speaker 2: an incredible turnout night in and night out.
- 25:16Speaker 5: Is it difficult to.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Allow yourself or how long will it take for you
- 25:20Speaker 2: to sit back maybe and enjoy and smile about how
- 25:24Speaker 2: successful year was because it ends too quickly and the
- 25:27Speaker 2: sting of it is always difficult to think about that,
- 25:30Speaker 2: you know, this quick after the season ends.
- 25:32Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, certainly you want your team to go longer.
- 25:36Speaker 9: We had our team meeting with everybody on Monday. The
- 25:42Speaker 9: exit interviews were all taking place, and I really encourage
- 25:45Speaker 9: people if you want a good listen is to listen
- 25:48Speaker 9: to Aaron Sim's podcast Led Summer where he does exit interviews.
- 25:53Speaker 9: And it's an hour and a half this time of
- 25:55Speaker 9: talking to every single player, just about every single player,
- 25:58Speaker 9: plus Harris and myself about the season. And I think
- 26:02Speaker 9: once we kind of get through that whole process. You know,
- 26:04Speaker 9: the guys are clearing out now today. Most of the
- 26:08Speaker 9: guys are leaving today heading off. I wish I had
- 26:11Speaker 9: a couple of players go back to the ECHL to
- 26:14Speaker 9: participate in the playoffs. So, you know, it's it does
- 26:18Speaker 9: kind of go crazy at the end once it's time
- 26:22Speaker 9: to be finished. It's not like you just pull out
- 26:24Speaker 9: the plug and it's all over with. It's you know,
- 26:27Speaker 9: guys are heading back to wherever they're going. They're getting
- 26:29Speaker 9: their marching orders for what to do during the summer.
- 26:32Speaker 9: We're getting ourselves crank back up, you know for next year.
- 26:36Speaker 9: So yeah, there's a morning period. This one's a little
- 26:40Speaker 9: shorter than normal because obviously our playoff run was a
- 26:42Speaker 9: little a little more abrupt. But we're we immediately go
- 26:47Speaker 9: into getting ready for next year.
- 26:50Speaker 5: John Greenberg joining us from the Milwaukee Admirals. This season
- 26:53Speaker 5: ended in Manitoba over the weekend on Sunday. Heartbreak. That
- 26:57Speaker 5: doesn't begin to describe it, especially when you win the
- 26:59Speaker 5: opener like that. But Greeny, what does the off season
- 27:02Speaker 5: look like? It's going to be a little bit longer
- 27:04Speaker 5: for you guys. Does that mean you get more creative
- 27:06Speaker 5: and even better theme nights and promotions and stuff. It's
- 27:11Speaker 5: Billy had a good point for people who don't work
- 27:13Speaker 5: in sports. You always say it's like you you measure
- 27:16Speaker 5: success by wins and losses. Yeah, to a point, but
- 27:19Speaker 5: you guys off the ice were hugely successful this year,
- 27:22Speaker 5: like Billy alluded to, And you know, part of that
- 27:25Speaker 5: is what you guys do in the off season to
- 27:27Speaker 5: get ready to get ready to roll once October rolls around.
- 27:31Speaker 5: So what does that look like. When is the retreat
- 27:33Speaker 5: going to be, when's the brainstorming? When does that process begin?
- 27:37Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's a great question. It's uh, you know,
- 27:41Speaker 9: first we uh my staff has done an unbelievable job
- 27:44Speaker 9: all year long of working really hard to pull off
- 27:48Speaker 9: all the things that we've done this year. We did
- 27:50Speaker 9: some pretty special things with EMO Night, with our Hockey
- 27:53Speaker 9: Romance Night, with our ASLL night, with so much other
- 27:57Speaker 9: stuff going on. You know, we've actually submit ourselves for
- 28:01Speaker 9: some legal awards that we hope that we'll get. They're
- 28:05Speaker 9: a great opportunity and validation for the work that we do.
- 28:09Speaker 9: So there's been a lot of time spent kind of
- 28:11Speaker 9: summarizing this past year, and there was. There's a board
- 28:15Speaker 9: in our office where people can go and write ideas
- 28:17Speaker 9: of things that they want to do maybe next year,
- 28:20Speaker 9: even the year after, And that board was full at
- 28:23Speaker 9: the end of the season. So they're already starting to
- 28:26Speaker 9: think about things to do for next year. And you know, yes,
- 28:29Speaker 9: a little extra time is certainly a good thing for that.
- 28:33Speaker 9: But I guarantee every single person the staff would rather
- 28:35Speaker 9: still be playing. But yeah, the creative juices are going
- 28:39Speaker 9: and everybody's getting ready for next year already.
- 28:41Speaker 1: Well, there's no question that you guys are always in
- 28:43Speaker 1: Your staff is always in the cutting edge of marketing, game, entertainment, creative.
- 28:48Speaker 1: You mentioned them nights, but any sort of creative angle
- 28:52Speaker 1: that always, I think touches the pulse of what the
- 28:55Speaker 1: what the trends are, or what the you know, in
- 28:58Speaker 1: this meme culture we're in. And I'm sure you saw
- 29:00Speaker 1: last night. Maybe you didn't, but if you did, you
- 29:02Speaker 1: will soon. I'm sure all the spaghetti sneak in. We've
- 29:06Speaker 1: been talking about all mornings, fans that snuck in spaghetti. Now,
- 29:10Speaker 1: what's the weirdest thing or is anyone you know? I
- 29:13Speaker 1: know you're you're always walking the concourse and you're always
- 29:15Speaker 1: right there in the front end of it. It's a
- 29:17Speaker 1: situation is a little different with you guys in the
- 29:19Speaker 1: arena rules and things, but we know how hockey hockey
- 29:22Speaker 1: fans are. Has anyone tried to sneak anything unusual into
- 29:25Speaker 1: an Admirals game like that? Can you remember anything like
- 29:28Speaker 1: that or is it just your treat like hockey fans stuff?
- 29:32Speaker 9: Yeah? Yeah. I think the goofiest thing so far in
- 29:35Speaker 9: Milwaukee that I've seen it for an Admirals game, which
- 29:38Speaker 9: which actually got us a little bit of trouble and
- 29:41Speaker 9: I didn't have the greatest response to was the guy
- 29:44Speaker 9: who brought in the raw, broughtwurst and when Sweet scored
- 29:50Speaker 9: a goal, decided he was going to throw them on
- 29:52Speaker 9: the ice. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We caught the guy
- 29:59Speaker 9: right away. I just said, what is your thought process here?
- 30:02Speaker 9: And he's like, you know, they they throw the fish,
- 30:06Speaker 9: you know, in a lot of places, and the acta
- 30:08Speaker 9: pus and over this is walking. So I thought he
- 30:10Speaker 9: should throw broughtwerds. They said, well that's a terrible.
- 30:12Speaker 5: Idea, we should you got a tough job.
- 30:16Speaker 9: He was asked to.
- 30:18Speaker 5: Leave, and we were all dumber for listening to your idea.
- 30:21Speaker 5: You get no point in the.
- 30:25Speaker 9: Idea.
- 30:25Speaker 6: We saw the rotissery chicken in the Duck series.
- 30:27Speaker 2: You know, I saw one of my favorite things that
- 30:29Speaker 2: I saw green. He was somebody with a box of
- 30:31Speaker 2: glazers and I don't even know that it was a bat.
- 30:33Speaker 6: I was just jealous. I was like, wait, can I snag.
- 30:38Speaker 5: One of those? It is a It is a fascinating deal.
- 30:40Speaker 9: Now.
- 30:40Speaker 2: I don't know how much you can build off of,
- 30:43Speaker 2: but whenever you see something on the internet, I imagine
- 30:45Speaker 2: there might be a spaghetti in a bag night. Uh,
- 30:49Speaker 2: similar to a walking taco that you might see on
- 30:51Speaker 2: that suggestion board.
- 30:52Speaker 5: So I'd watch out.
- 30:54Speaker 9: Well, as long as they don't make the spaghetti now
- 30:56Speaker 9: and hold it for the six months. Okay, But.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Well I know our friends, right, I mean they've got
- 31:05Speaker 1: ribs in a bag.
- 31:06Speaker 6: Yeah, they baggar ribs. That would be a good one.
- 31:09Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah. And our buddy Burt Lauderdale was involved in this,
- 31:11Speaker 5: and he's a big Admirals fan who goes to a
- 31:13Speaker 5: lot of hockey games.
- 31:14Speaker 6: So you might be thinking about it. Yeah, there might
- 31:16Speaker 6: be past to night.
- 31:16Speaker 5: He'd be in the middle of that viral moment. But Greedy,
- 31:21Speaker 5: how closely will you follow the Calder Cup playoffs now
- 31:24Speaker 5: that they're going on, Will you divorce yourself with that?
- 31:26Speaker 5: And I know you can't. You're a hockey guy. You
- 31:27Speaker 5: got to watch the NHL. So do you have a
- 31:30Speaker 5: rooting interest? There's no preds, there's there you know, you
- 31:33Speaker 5: guys are out, So you have a rooting interest in
- 31:35Speaker 5: either tournament bracket. There's some good action going on in
- 31:38Speaker 5: the NHL. That Boston Buffalo game last night was pretty sweet.
- 31:42Speaker 5: So who are who are you watching?
- 31:44Speaker 6: Who you like?
- 31:45Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a good question. I would tell you that
- 31:48Speaker 9: I've been on Buffalo for about a month or so.
- 31:51Speaker 9: I just love the the fact that that EU city
- 31:55Speaker 9: has invented the playoffs for so long, and how excited
- 31:58Speaker 9: they are, and they've got a really fun young team,
- 32:01Speaker 9: and it's you know, people don't see a lot of
- 32:03Speaker 9: Buffalo Sabers games on TV. So that's my team that
- 32:08Speaker 9: I've decided to attach right itself to, which means they'll
- 32:11Speaker 9: be eliminated shortly, but you know in our league. Yeah,
- 32:16Speaker 9: there's a little bit of I don't want to pay
- 32:19Speaker 9: attention to this now that I'm not participating in it,
- 32:21Speaker 9: but I can tell you that, you know, I'll look
- 32:24Speaker 9: at the scores every night and see who's doing what,
- 32:26Speaker 9: and gem very curious to see how long it takes
- 32:29Speaker 9: Grand Rapids to dispatch of Manitoba, because I don't know
- 32:33Speaker 9: that either one of us was going to get past them.
- 32:37Speaker 9: They've had a whole ten days to get ready for this.
- 32:40Speaker 9: But you know, I think everybody would expect that Grand
- 32:44Speaker 9: Rapids and Providence should be playing for the championship. But
- 32:47Speaker 9: we'll see how it all plays itself out.
- 32:49Speaker 2: And you tell you you are old with me, then greeny,
- 32:52Speaker 2: if I'm reading between the lines that like, there's certain
- 32:54Speaker 2: people that are like, well, I want to lose to
- 32:56Speaker 2: the team that wins the championship. I'm petty and I'm
- 33:00Speaker 2: bashly into it. No, no, no, possible as soon as possible,
- 33:05Speaker 2: and you know, rudely. So I'd like it to be
- 33:07Speaker 2: in heartbreaking fashion, Rightly, I generally hope it to either
- 33:10Speaker 2: be as gut renching as possible or just get sweet
- 33:13Speaker 2: yeah ushered out in an ugly sweet So I'm glad
- 33:15Speaker 2: you and I are in the same boat there.
- 33:16Speaker 9: Yeah. Absolutely. I used to think I wanted the team
- 33:21Speaker 9: to beat me, to to wear the whole thing, but
- 33:23Speaker 9: screw them.
- 33:24Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you.
- 33:25Speaker 5: I want to look at that jersey again.
- 33:27Speaker 6: I'm not trying to look at that sweater anymore.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Speaking that, I wasn't mad at that Rockford lost. I
- 33:31Speaker 1: was pretty happy to see that they lost to Texas.
- 33:33Speaker 1: So we had our run ins with Rockford this year,
- 33:35Speaker 1: no doubt. But yeah, it's been a It's no doubt.
- 33:38Speaker 1: It been a great year. And I have to say,
- 33:40Speaker 1: if we're doing Emo Night again, man, that's a night
- 33:42Speaker 1: I'll never forget. I've never worn I've never worn a
- 33:45Speaker 1: dog collar yet for work, but now I can say
- 33:47Speaker 1: I have.
- 33:48Speaker 6: So there you go.
- 33:49Speaker 1: But thanks for another great year of fun entertainment and
- 33:52Speaker 1: in great hockey.

- 34:14Speaker 1: us win an award, it'll all be worth it.
- 34:17Speaker 6: Incredible, that would be that's pretty funny.

- 34:23Speaker 5: Thanks for joining us. We will catch up with you
- 34:25Speaker 5: down the road. And if you got anything to promote,
- 34:27Speaker 5: I mean, I know Rosco's all over the place at

- 34:35Speaker 5: just hang out and have some cold ones.
- 34:37Speaker 9: I'm sure, I'm sure just those garage sale has been scheduled.
- 34:42Speaker 9: We'll get this announced, but you we'll break news here
- 34:44Speaker 9: for May thirtieth.
- 34:45Speaker 5: So here we go.
- 34:48Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll wait for that every year.
- 34:49Speaker 5: I love that.
- 34:50Speaker 6: Get some gear.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Fantastic sale. October tenth will be here before you know it.
- 34:54Speaker 5: That's true. Yeah, we'll enjoy them, we can. Thanks Greedie,
- 34:57Speaker 5: appreciate it.
- 34:59Speaker 9: Thanks boys.
- 35:00Speaker 5: Jon Greenberg, president of Milwaukee Admirals. Sadly their season came
- 35:02Speaker 5: to an end Sunday, but it was a good ride.
- 35:04Speaker 5: We had a lot of fun catching up with Greene
- 35:06Speaker 5: on a weekly basis on the huddle and fire that
- 35:08Speaker 5: up again. And he has a standing invite to jonas
- 35:10Speaker 5: whenever that he wants anytime.
- 35:11Speaker 2: That really is the toughest thing, Drew like. For some
- 35:13Speaker 2: of the teams that you were covering, there was the
- 35:16Speaker 2: death March of like, all right, sweet September thirtieth, can't
- 35:19Speaker 2: get here soon at off cars are packed. But man,
- 35:22Speaker 2: when it ends so abruptly like that, you don't necessarily know.
- 35:25Speaker 2: Like he said, obviously you were gonna it was a
- 35:28Speaker 2: puncher's chance. You get a chip in a chair, you
- 35:30Speaker 2: get a shot. But there's some deep runs that they've
- 35:33Speaker 2: made in the playoffs before, especially as of late. The
- 35:36Speaker 2: season just ends so abruptly, so quickly, that it can
- 35:39Speaker 2: be hard to at any point within the first three
- 35:41Speaker 2: weeks look back fondly at it. But they had a
- 35:44Speaker 2: great run, especially behind the scenes. The business side of
- 35:47Speaker 2: it was no moment all year long.
- 35:48Speaker 1: And I think it goes out saying every team in
- 35:50Speaker 1: that league is always young, you know, at that level,
- 35:52Speaker 1: but this was an exceptionally young team and there's a
- 35:57Speaker 1: good foundation set.
- 35:58Speaker 6: I think a good amount of the guys should be back,
- 36:00Speaker 6: so uh.
- 36:01Speaker 1: Hell hopefully hopefully uh bud well for the future next
- 36:04Speaker 1: year for another good one. But yeah, it was a
- 36:06Speaker 1: bummer not to get home games in the playoffs too,
- 36:08Speaker 1: so we were so close to that. Those are always
- 36:10Speaker 1: the most electric on the and the crowd gets crazy.
- 36:12Speaker 6: But we'll be back sooner.

- 37:43Speaker 2: because I said I got a good one here. However,
- 37:45Speaker 2: I almost feel bad saying it because the wagon bake
- 37:47Speaker 2: story once again comes to the Diana Rassini Mike Vrabel storyline.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Here we go because as as you wake up this morning.
- 37:55Speaker 2: Now the video is some TMZ guy walking down the
- 38:00Speaker 2: tunnel and walking through the airport all the way to
- 38:03Speaker 2: the car with Mike Vrabel, Yeah and kinda with a
- 38:06Speaker 2: four K you know, stick camera questioning and interrogating him,
- 38:10Speaker 2: asking him as many questions as possible. Do you think
- 38:12Speaker 2: you're gonna get fired? What do you think accountability sounds
- 38:14Speaker 2: like to you? What do you think it looks like
- 38:15Speaker 2: at this moment? And man, you gotta be on some
- 38:20Speaker 2: kind of adrenaline and or ridiculously confident and self assured
- 38:27Speaker 2: that you're not gonna get knocked a bleep out walking
- 38:30Speaker 2: up to Big Mike Vrabel and acting like this guy was.
- 38:33Speaker 2: I mean, as I'm listening, and I'm all for I'm
- 38:37Speaker 2: not advocating this, but at any moment during that minute
- 38:40Speaker 2: and thirty eight second video, I was waiting for for
- 38:42Speaker 2: able to turn and just give the quick flinch Drew
- 38:45Speaker 2: and just say it too for flinching, because this guy
- 38:48Speaker 2: is letting him have it. Through the airport, they got
- 38:51Speaker 2: pictures of his wife hanging out through the airport. They
- 38:54Speaker 2: were haunted. I loved the picture of Rabel buying the sweatshirt.
- 38:58Speaker 6: That's okay, right.
- 38:59Speaker 2: Now you're making me feel bad for laughing and enjoying
- 39:03Speaker 2: the story so much.
- 39:04Speaker 1: Now now we got to chill out a little bit here.
- 39:06Speaker 1: We're getting to a point. Yeah, now it's getting a
- 39:07Speaker 1: little aggressive. I agree and don't. And then a picture
- 39:10Speaker 1: of his wife, I'm like, leave her alone, Like, come on, now,
- 39:13Speaker 1: her fault, leave her alone? Like, like, at what point
- 39:16Speaker 1: is it too much where you know we shouldn't we
- 39:19Speaker 1: shouldn't be invaded. I don't know the right word is
- 39:23Speaker 1: prying anymore? Like there's a point where it's like feels
- 39:26Speaker 1: uncomfortable to me. I don't know what that is. Definitely
- 39:28Speaker 1: when it comes to taking pictures of his wife and stuffing, like.
- 39:31Speaker 3: Like like leave these people.
- 39:32Speaker 5: Yeah, it's still not sure. I'm there because I'm still
- 39:33Speaker 5: reading every bit of it, right, I'm still open every
- 39:35Speaker 5: story of it.
- 39:36Speaker 2: Now, sadly we're getting the paywall season dresses where the
- 39:40Speaker 2: Daily Mail is is firing out paywall articles. I didn't
- 39:44Speaker 2: realize this was going to reach those levels that we're
- 39:46Speaker 2: going behind the five dollars ninety nine cent month paywall
- 39:49Speaker 2: to be able to get the information on the Innersian
- 39:52Speaker 2: Mike Vrabel and.
- 39:52Speaker 1: No people want to know and it's going to produce
- 39:54Speaker 1: And that's just the reality of it, right, And.
- 39:55Speaker 5: They're looking in that, they're looking at every tweet of
- 39:58Speaker 5: hers during her time covering the type.
- 40:01Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, it is a deep, deep, deep dive and
- 40:05Speaker 1: really quick speaking of that on that ILK, like and
- 40:08Speaker 1: maybe this is for hot Take the dude that stole
- 40:10Speaker 1: the ball from the little girl yesterday. Now we're going
- 40:12Speaker 1: too far with it, all right. You people are trying
- 40:14Speaker 1: to get him fired. You're trying.
- 40:15Speaker 5: It's a little.
- 40:16Speaker 1: Ridiculous on that and too so we as a society
- 40:19Speaker 1: tend to swing too far in the other direction a
- 40:22Speaker 1: little bit. Maybe we should relax on that a little
- 40:24Speaker 1: bit too.
- 40:24Speaker 5: How do you get that fired up about a guy
- 40:26Speaker 5: that you've never met, that you'll never see the thing?
- 40:29Speaker 1: I agree you shouldn't have done. But let's laugh at
- 40:32Speaker 1: him and move on. Enough of this trying to find
- 40:34Speaker 1: out who is, where he is, docs and all this.
- 40:37Speaker 6: Enough of that. It's just gone too far, all right.
- 40:39Speaker 5: But he's a private investigator online, that's for sure, and
- 40:43Speaker 5: a good one at that, and they find it.
- 40:45Speaker 1: People can get themselves frenzied mad about things they really shouldn't.
- 40:49Speaker 1: It's like you know what, gold touch grass, look for
- 40:51Speaker 1: a bird and trees and just enjoy yourself.
- 40:54Speaker 2: So do you really look for the birds or the
- 40:55Speaker 2: birds come to you with that super sweet birdhouse?
- 40:57Speaker 6: That just well, I haven't gotten the new one yet.
- 41:01Speaker 6: I can't wait because I'm pretty sure there's bluebird around me.
- 41:04Speaker 5: Ye when is uh? When will this die down for
- 41:08Speaker 5: Vrabel or will it? Does he need to take a
- 41:10Speaker 5: leave of absence? Well, that was that's the other part
- 41:12Speaker 5: of the time.
- 41:13Speaker 2: I mean, like the waken big part of it, Drew
- 41:15Speaker 2: is like, there's the internet rumors that he the Patriots
- 41:18Speaker 2: are I and Mike Tomlin in case this goes south.
- 41:20Speaker 6: There's no way he's losing his job over this. I
- 41:23Speaker 6: wouldn't think so, I can't.
- 41:24Speaker 2: I like that the worst case, he was the lead
- 41:27Speaker 2: football decision maker and he was m I A during
- 41:30Speaker 2: Day three of the draft. I think that's about as
- 41:32Speaker 2: much of a suspension as you can get for an
- 41:33Speaker 2: extra marital affair.
- 41:35Speaker 5: And then he's missing, like you know the early stuff
- 41:37Speaker 5: in Elliott Wolf's like it's you know, business as usual. No,
- 41:39Speaker 5: it's not your head coaches in around.
- 41:41Speaker 6: Definitely not business as usual. Definitely not business as usual.
- 41:44Speaker 2: That no, And and it's also Drew in the spot
- 41:47Speaker 2: where like this was. I remember when Rabel said, any
- 41:52Speaker 2: idea of what is going on here that is thinking
- 41:55Speaker 2: that it's more than just a harmless interaction is laughable.
- 41:58Speaker 2: The only thing laughable now are every one of the statements.
- 42:02Speaker 2: I still contend. I mean, we are such a forgiving society.
- 42:06Speaker 2: You just tell the truth and none of this stuff happens.
- 42:10Speaker 5: That's the thing. I mean. The details though, more secret rendezvous,
- 42:14Speaker 5: the casino picture after he was fired, the canoodling at
- 42:18Speaker 5: a New York restaurant six years ago and she was
- 42:20Speaker 5: still engaged to her now husband, and then like the
- 42:24Speaker 5: Spotify playlist shared.
- 42:26Speaker 2: Yeah, the spotifying streak. The Spotify playlist is awesome. It
- 42:29Speaker 2: did remind me of like zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens
- 42:32Speaker 2: in a high school musical where she just starts singing
- 42:35Speaker 2: through the middle of the crowd to inspire him, and
- 42:37Speaker 2: Troy Bolton comes out and drops fifteen right, like, hey man,
- 42:40Speaker 2: you're in the middle of a four game losing streak.
- 42:42Speaker 2: Let me send you some Let me send you some
- 42:44Speaker 2: Kesha to fire you out, Mike, That'll make you feel
- 42:47Speaker 2: so much better.
- 42:47Speaker 6: Man, crazy.
- 42:49Speaker 5: Well, it's looking a little diabolical and like she's now
- 42:55Speaker 5: receded into the you know in the background, stugs on motherhood. Now, yeah,
- 42:59Speaker 5: there you go.
- 43:00Speaker 2: Alright, focusing on focusing on motherhood. All right, We're focusing
- 43:03Speaker 2: on getting through the rest of this week. We made
- 43:04Speaker 2: it through Wednesday. We're over the hope hope you enjoy
- 43:06Speaker 2: your Wednesday.
- 43:07Speaker 5: We'll be back at it tomorrow and uh, we'll see
- 43:11Speaker 5: you at five am and highly caffeinated again. Peace
