0:10
Speaker 2: so many days wandering in the wilderness, We've got Green
0:12
Speaker 2: Bay Packers professional tackle football this evening. Now it's preseason
0:17
Speaker 2: professional tackle football. Kind of an important caveat there, large
0:22
Speaker 2: one to put in.
0:23
Speaker 1: Yes, it is, it is, it is.
0:25
Speaker 2: Nonetheless, the Packers will be cavorting on national television.

0:46
Speaker 3: real Green Bay Packers players playing football tonight and potentially
0:51
Speaker 3: for one last time, lining up against one of the
0:54
Speaker 3: greatest players in the franchise's history.
0:57
Speaker 1: Drew kickoffs are.
0:59
Speaker 3: Rarely, rarely do they live up to the billing, and
1:02
Speaker 3: this one most likely won't because we don't necessarily know
1:05
Speaker 3: if Aaron Rodgers will trot out in that eight jersey tonight.
1:08
Speaker 1: He might just have a sweet hoodie on.
1:10
Speaker 3: There might be a lot of talk about how much
1:13
Speaker 3: Jordan Love might play.
1:14
Speaker 1: He might throw three passes.
1:16
Speaker 3: But there's going to be some brand and CSA sightings,
1:18
Speaker 3: a lot of good ones to discuss, and a lot
1:20
Speaker 3: of fun to watch coming up and listen to. Starting
1:22
Speaker 3: up at six oh baby Packers OT This evening Packers.

1:59
Speaker 2: John Coon on the broad cast, along with a sprinkling
2:02
Speaker 2: of Shanna Quinn beautiful with us. I do get to
2:05
Speaker 2: see her very often because our hours are different, but
2:08
Speaker 2: we get to hang out tonight here at headquarters watching
2:10
Speaker 2: the Packers play the Steelers, And.
2:13
Speaker 1: Is anybody else find it interesting?
2:15
Speaker 2: Here we are, you know, Rogers, the vitriol's not there,
2:20
Speaker 2: the juice isn't there.
2:20
Speaker 1: It's the preseason, even if it was the regular season.
2:23
Speaker 1: Though he's been going.
2:25
Speaker 2: This is a fourth year and we were used to
2:28
Speaker 2: Jordan love. Now we've moved on and it's like seeing
2:30
Speaker 2: your ex. It's like, yeah, we moved on. Happy now
2:33
Speaker 2: with our current relationship, situationship more or less, and wish.
2:38
Speaker 1: Him the best.
2:39
Speaker 2: And but the weirdness about Rogers, his McAfee things, and
2:44
Speaker 2: just the weirdness of as basic as is he going
2:48
Speaker 2: to play tonight? Like generally speaking in the NFL, they're like, yeah,
2:50
Speaker 2: that we're gonna play this guy this many snaps, Like
2:52
Speaker 2: it's not you don't keep secrets. There's no subterfuge in
2:55
Speaker 2: the preseason right now. There's a lot of layers to this.
3:00
Speaker 2: Is Aaron Rodgers need to play Hell No, No, are
3:03
Speaker 2: the Packers gonna under Jonathan Ganna going to unveil anything
3:05
Speaker 2: any wrinkle that's going to help him in a month?
3:08
Speaker 1: No?
3:10
Speaker 2: Does does he need to does he need snaps under
3:13
Speaker 2: the lights at you know, a creezier Stateum No, he's
3:16
Speaker 2: played there before. He there's there's like no benefit. You
3:19
Speaker 2: want to get him used to the stage of the Yeah,
3:21
Speaker 2: playing on national TV at night, like, oh, that he's
3:24
Speaker 2: never done that in his career twenty two years.
3:26
Speaker 1: Want to get you comfortable player.
3:28
Speaker 2: Intellectually, you can make no reason for him to play,
3:31
Speaker 2: like the culture of the team. Is it going to
3:33
Speaker 2: be impact if he plays? No, I just don't think
3:35
Speaker 2: there is any reason.
3:36
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean it is a brand new head coach
3:39
Speaker 3: and a brand new coaching staff for the first time
3:41
Speaker 3: there in two decades. So like I think for for
3:44
Speaker 3: that part of the organization, there could be a little bit.
3:46
Speaker 1: Well for the other guys, but for Aaron.
3:48
Speaker 3: But if you're going to be the quarterback of the team,
3:50
Speaker 3: then if there's something.
3:52
Speaker 1: To like that guy being a part of it.
3:54
Speaker 3: I get it that he's forty two years old and
3:56
Speaker 3: he's played everything, but he hasn't with these guys and
4:00
Speaker 3: with this organization, with this coach at this time. So
4:03
Speaker 3: I get it if you would play. But I also
4:06
Speaker 3: totally understand.
4:07
Speaker 2: And that's where the weirdness comes in because you get
4:10
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy saying, oh, Aaron's begging to play, and then
4:13
Speaker 2: Rodger's like, Noah, that's not real.
4:15
Speaker 1: Football, I don't really care. It's like, if they play me, fine,
4:18
Speaker 1: if they don't play me, it doesn't matter. It's not
4:19
Speaker 1: real football.
4:20
Speaker 3: Well you know, but I like, this is the reality,
4:25
Speaker 3: exact same thing that you hear when Jordan love will
4:27
Speaker 3: go into week number three of Jordan Do you think
4:29
Speaker 3: that you should play?
4:30
Speaker 1: Do you want the guys to play? Well?
4:31
Speaker 3: I have their football players, so they should be ready
4:33
Speaker 3: to play. They're football players. They should be ready to play.
4:36
Speaker 3: And then how many times do they not play? So
4:37
Speaker 3: like again, if you're acting like there, this is the
4:40
Speaker 3: only time there's around the NFL or a weird It's just.
4:45
Speaker 1: This is how teams handle it.
4:47
Speaker 3: What's the weirdest thing in the NFL right now the
4:50
Speaker 3: fact that there's a freaking future Hall of Famer practicing
4:53
Speaker 3: with an NFL team and nobody seems to care.
4:56
Speaker 1: My man's just not under.
4:57
Speaker 3: Contract working out with the team at theacility right after
5:00
Speaker 3: practice in the same city that we're right now looking
5:04
Speaker 3: into a circumvention of the salary cap.
5:07
Speaker 1: Interesting deal, they're interesting thought. There interesting thoughts.
5:10
Speaker 3: Inside the same complex in Inglewood, on the same damn
5:14
Speaker 3: near plot of land. There's a lot of weirdness in
5:16
Speaker 3: the National Football League. This one is uh near the
5:19
Speaker 3: bottom on my on my totem pole of weirdness. So
5:22
Speaker 3: I just don't get why both teams can't decide like
5:26
Speaker 3: with a gentleman's agreement.
5:27
Speaker 1: We're just we just played Paddy Cake.
5:29
Speaker 2: I've already said I've said that for years that they
5:31
Speaker 2: should the quarterbacks wear red jerseys and.
5:33
Speaker 1: Then play them and they could make these things somewhat watchable.
5:36
Speaker 2: Well, you have joint practice for that, I know, but
5:38
Speaker 2: you have the but they can do it, and you know,
5:42
Speaker 2: you can make a case that joint practices are more
5:44
Speaker 2: compelling television broadcasts than the actual because they play on
5:48
Speaker 2: these national in these primetime slots.
5:50
Speaker 1: So I've said that for years.
5:51
Speaker 2: Put they were in jerseys and then just you know,
5:54
Speaker 2: find the hell out because the only thing that would
5:57
Speaker 2: keep you from playing at Jordan love Or and Aaron
5:59
Speaker 2: Rodgerson they are football players, is the idea that some
6:02
Speaker 2: Jabron who's trying to make a team, sure if you're
6:04
Speaker 2: of injury, yeah, who's playing you know, you know, trying
6:07
Speaker 2: to make a name for himself, will wipe them out.
6:10
Speaker 1: But yeah, that also too.
6:11
Speaker 3: Now we found out over the last week that it's
6:13
Speaker 3: not just no name guys that would do it. It's
6:15
Speaker 3: also like the best pass rushers in football of Max
6:18
Speaker 3: Crosby apparently just hits guys in red jersey's an entire career.
6:21
Speaker 3: He apparently now gets Finally somebody with hundred millions said buddy,
6:26
Speaker 3: you're not hitting me. I have a red jersey on
6:28
Speaker 3: for a reason. So everybody engagement end up being different.
6:33
Speaker 3: Kid in the sphere where you might hit their hand
6:35
Speaker 3: by I mean, I don't know if you ended up
6:36
Speaker 3: seeing hard knocks.
6:37
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald, Derek Hall.
6:38
Speaker 3: They just gave almost one hundred million dollars to one
6:40
Speaker 3: of their star edge rushers.
6:41
Speaker 1: He kicked them out of.
6:42
Speaker 3: Practice and said, hey, looks like I'm running the practice.
6:46
Speaker 1: Looks like I'm in charge. No, you're gonna stay away
6:48
Speaker 1: from the quarterback.
6:49
Speaker 3: And that's a defensive guy yelling at his defensive players.
6:52
Speaker 3: Stay off the quarterback, and if they don't listen to
6:54
Speaker 3: me back to back times, you're gone. You can't turn
6:58
Speaker 3: it off that easily. That's just the way they meant.
7:00
Speaker 3: The Wayne Simmons of the world.
7:01
Speaker 2: The whole thing with Rogers unless they meet in the
7:04
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, Packers and Steelers which.
7:07
Speaker 1: Are highly unlikely. No, but let's pray for that because
7:10
Speaker 1: that would be GOODU be good.
7:11
Speaker 2: There's well tonight if he plays a serious give you
7:14
Speaker 2: any sense of closure? Or I'm gonna ask Arman because
7:17
Speaker 2: he's the geekiest fan of all geeky fans, does give
7:20
Speaker 2: you any like tingle that Rogers is playing against the
7:23
Speaker 2: Packers and throwing passes?
7:25
Speaker 3: It'd give you a tingle, but not a big, big
7:27
Speaker 3: overall closure like big moment. But if it wasn't Lambo,
7:30
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit more. But no, However, I would
7:33
Speaker 3: say it's still cool though, like it doesn't have to be.
7:36
Speaker 3: It reminds me this is the goofiest goofiest example. It's
7:40
Speaker 3: like when Jeff Saturday in the Pro Bowl took that snap,
7:43
Speaker 3: changed sides and took that snap from Peyton.
7:45
Speaker 1: It was a cool moment.
7:46
Speaker 3: For those guys and for the fans, but it was goofy,
7:48
Speaker 3: but it was kind of cool for a second. Cool
7:50
Speaker 3: for a second. I mean, that's all we were living in.
7:53
Speaker 3: Though we're living for moments in life, all right. This
7:55
Speaker 3: is a moment like we could be out there, take
7:57
Speaker 3: a couple of passes, come off and give up, maybe
7:59
Speaker 3: give a no players.
8:00
Speaker 2: Okay, but you will be marginally not even thrilled. You
8:04
Speaker 2: will not even be like at half mast in terms
8:07
Speaker 2: of your two.
8:08
Speaker 3: Miss, I'll be more interested in him in that series
8:11
Speaker 3: than anybody else would well here.
8:13
Speaker 1: So okay, that's my point.
8:15
Speaker 2: I guess I'm looking at the counterbalance of it, though,
8:17
Speaker 2: Like the excitement you feel if you see Aaron Rodgers
8:21
Speaker 2: play this series or maybe two against the Packers tonight,
8:24
Speaker 2: that will Wayne, How does that compare to the disappointment
8:29
Speaker 2: you'll feel if he doesn't play.
8:31
Speaker 1: Oh no, I mean it's not yet.
8:33
Speaker 2: It's not like I'll so It's like there's a line
8:36
Speaker 2: and you're a couple of centimeters on one side of
8:39
Speaker 2: the line and a centimeter or two on the other
8:40
Speaker 2: side of the line. It's like, I don't care if
8:42
Speaker 2: he plays. If he plays, that'd be kind of cool.
8:44
Speaker 1: I'll watch it like I'd always rather see interesting players
8:48
Speaker 1: on the field. But again, isn't the storyline.
8:50
Speaker 3: Don't we always say that the league is a soap
8:52
Speaker 3: opera about quarterbacks? So again, like whether or not it's
8:55
Speaker 3: an inch on one side or another, that position is
8:58
Speaker 3: totally different than everybody else.
9:00
Speaker 1: It draws way more way more eyes.
9:02
Speaker 3: It would be far different and so much better if
9:05
Speaker 3: it was at Lambo and Rogers met with the media yesterday.
9:07
Speaker 3: The Green Bay Media said it with Packers reporters and
9:10
Speaker 3: robbed Demofski wrote out it said how much different had
9:13
Speaker 3: he hoped it was in Green Bay?
9:14
Speaker 1: He said one hundred percent.
9:15
Speaker 3: When I heard it was possible for my two former
9:17
Speaker 3: to play my two former teams, I was really hoping
9:20
Speaker 3: this was gonna be in Green Bay, not just to
9:21
Speaker 3: go back to Lambo one more time, head out to
9:23
Speaker 3: Chives for dinner, maybe out to Green Bay Country Club
9:26
Speaker 3: for a quick nine or something. I was hoping it
9:28
Speaker 3: was going to be in Green Bay for a lot
9:29
Speaker 3: of reasons. But it was gonna be strange and being
9:31
Speaker 3: in that visitor's locker room. But I would have found
9:33
Speaker 3: my way over though, like so many former players over
9:35
Speaker 3: the years, see some of the guys, some of the trainers,
9:37
Speaker 3: equipment staff, all the people I really care about that
9:39
Speaker 3: still work there.
9:40
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:41
Speaker 3: I was definitely bummed out that we weren't in Lambeau
9:44
Speaker 3: for this one. And that was a massive drop of
9:46
Speaker 3: the ball by the NFL not to be able to
9:49
Speaker 3: just say, hey, why don't we just swap one of
9:52
Speaker 3: these things through. You guys get we'll make this date up.
9:55
Speaker 3: This will be in IOU. We'll make this date up
9:57
Speaker 3: coming up next year. But let's slide that thing over
9:59
Speaker 3: here for anything entertainment purposes. Only it's on the NFL network.
10:03
Speaker 3: ESPN would have been able to make that string be pulled.
10:06
Speaker 2: Now again, with all the caveats that there's to me,
10:09
Speaker 2: there's like no upside really for him playing The risk
10:12
Speaker 2: isn't worth the reward, and there's no no juice or not.
10:15
Speaker 2: You know, the fans in Pittsburgh do they need to
10:17
Speaker 2: see him for a series or two? They'll get over.
10:20
Speaker 2: That's the preseason. It's but you buy your ticket, you
10:22
Speaker 2: take your chances. Right, you're not you know you're not.
10:24
Speaker 2: You know you're gonna see understudies and reserves and guys
10:27
Speaker 2: that aren't bottom of.
10:27
Speaker 1: The roster guys. But had the game in Ben and Lamba,
10:30
Speaker 1: would he have for sure played then?
10:32
Speaker 3: I think he for sure would have come out, come
10:33
Speaker 3: out and at least took the opening snat right given it,
10:36
Speaker 3: given a series.
10:39
Speaker 1: Series, come out in the middle and do a wave.
10:41
Speaker 2: Yes, but that's just it. You won't get that tonight.
10:44
Speaker 2: That's not on the table. So to me, it's like
10:46
Speaker 2: I'm going into the saying he ain't playing.
10:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I mean like again, they're also they're also
10:53
Speaker 3: in a spot where again they come in with a
10:55
Speaker 3: new coach. Like all the people that you said that
10:57
Speaker 3: don't need to see him play, I think the one
10:59
Speaker 3: guy that might want to players with the Harley success
11:01
Speaker 3: football coach.
11:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, like that for a season. So there's uh.
11:05
Speaker 3: And Mike has played people in the preseason, albeit until
11:10
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen when that one kind of shifted around, and
11:13
Speaker 3: you look into what they did in Dallas, they played
11:15
Speaker 3: a lot in the preseason under him as well, So like, uh,
11:19
Speaker 3: you look at some of the guys of how they
11:21
Speaker 3: do business. A lot of times they do it'll be
11:23
Speaker 3: interesting to see if he does. Yes, you are a
11:25
Speaker 3: thousand percent right, it will. It will not change how
11:28
Speaker 3: the rest of the game goes. But that's generally speaking
11:31
Speaker 3: for a preseason football because even Pat Mahomes probably plays
11:34
Speaker 3: more than any quarterback in the preseason. Last I checked
11:37
Speaker 3: his results in the regular season, we're pretty good. So
11:39
Speaker 3: maybe there's some kind of correlation there. Maybe I don't know,
11:43
Speaker 3: but he'll probably play the most out of anybody in
11:46
Speaker 3: maybe play three series in the first one, so we
11:48
Speaker 3: all understand what we're signing up for. To my opinion
11:51
Speaker 3: on this always has been this, like you can use
11:53
Speaker 3: discretion and it's smart to do that, you know, so
11:56
Speaker 3: you can you can play guys and try to keep
11:59
Speaker 3: them as much you can harm's way while still trying
12:01
Speaker 3: to get productive working. Because if you're just gonna bubble
12:03
Speaker 3: wrap him all the time, why even practice. And a
12:06
Speaker 3: lot of NFL teams don't practice as much as they
12:08
Speaker 3: used to.
12:08
Speaker 1: But you have to.
12:09
Speaker 3: You have to find a balance and a fine line
12:11
Speaker 3: between preparation and risk management. But there is a fine line,
12:15
Speaker 3: Like it does go both ways. I mean Aaron, I
12:18
Speaker 3: know it was just for fooling around and he wasn't
12:20
Speaker 3: getting hit, But Aaron was like playing defensive edge of
12:23
Speaker 3: practiceteelers practice like it might have been funny and I
12:26
Speaker 3: get it, and he wasn't getting touched and stuff like that.
12:28
Speaker 1: But he was. I've had all these cut ups.
12:33
Speaker 3: But you can also when he's got the beanie, he's
12:35
Speaker 3: got the red beenia, but you can also call plays
12:37
Speaker 3: from that pretty much. We'll protect him from getting in
12:39
Speaker 3: harm's weight. You're not gonna call rollouts, but you can
12:42
Speaker 3: still get him a series or two or one series
12:45
Speaker 3: or three plays and make sure he's protected. So I
12:47
Speaker 3: think there's a fine line between totally not playing at
12:51
Speaker 3: all and finding a way to manage the risk because
12:54
Speaker 3: you they are going to prepare to play a season
12:56
Speaker 3: and whether or not, you know, people believe it. He
12:59
Speaker 3: can just wink up and run the offense. I know
13:01
Speaker 3: he can, but how effective can he be? How much
13:04
Speaker 3: does he want to get a sweat on a workout
13:06
Speaker 3: in That's always.
13:07
Speaker 1: Going to be the case. So I think it's okay
13:09
Speaker 1: if he plays well, we can't.
13:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can get your work out in the indoor,
13:12
Speaker 3: but I will the other the fascinating one going forward
13:18
Speaker 3: and to hear somebody do it like lead CBS football
13:22
Speaker 3: analyst JJ Watt yesterday on DP on these same airways,
13:26
Speaker 3: just a couple hours after we were done, he said,
13:28
Speaker 3: you got to play football to be good at football,
13:31
Speaker 3: So you got practice football to be good at football.
13:33
Speaker 3: Tans like, well, what did you do to maybe get
13:35
Speaker 3: get yourself out of a training camp at all? Hear
13:37
Speaker 3: yourself out of those practice if it sucks so bad,
13:41
Speaker 3: JJ Watt, Dude, do you think I was trying to
13:43
Speaker 3: get out of practice. Yeah, I was always about it.
13:46
Speaker 3: I hated it, but I was always about it. You
13:48
Speaker 3: got to be able to play to improve, and the
13:51
Speaker 3: math of the thirty reps in the preseason those guys
13:54
Speaker 3: stay healthier going forward. I'm very, very interested to see
13:58
Speaker 3: where the NFL got that data and pumped it out
14:00
Speaker 3: to all their own NFL teams.
14:01
Speaker 1: I would I would just love to know. Very convenient
14:04
Speaker 1: to find.
14:04
Speaker 3: That data when you got to be able to cram
14:06
Speaker 3: in some more content and get all these games on
14:09
Speaker 3: your streaming package and make sure everybody can watch all
14:12
Speaker 3: of them, so we'll see. I would be really surprised though,
14:17
Speaker 3: if there's not a large sum of Packers starters, and
14:20
Speaker 3: if Jordan Love is out there playing, most likely the
14:22
Speaker 3: first team offensive line is going because you're not putting
14:24
Speaker 3: him behind some makeshift unit.
14:26
Speaker 2: I was going to say, who on the Packers has
14:28
Speaker 2: the status that you'd bubble wrap him. Zavy McKinney maybe potentially,
14:34
Speaker 2: but again I think they need in.
14:36
Speaker 1: There all right. But then.
14:40
Speaker 3: Probably because of the injury stuff and like a hurt probably,
14:44
Speaker 3: but he was also the driving force. He was the
14:46
Speaker 3: one that said during all of the offseason that he
14:48
Speaker 3: wants to play in the preseason. I think I think
14:51
Speaker 3: Zach Bockobwell is probably one of the reasons why they're
14:54
Speaker 3: playing more the preseason.
14:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll probably uh Well, I was just saying they'll
14:58
Speaker 1: bubble wrap him.
14:59
Speaker 2: But I'm just trying to think of any Are there
15:00
Speaker 2: any Packers who you'd know, like back in the day,
15:03
Speaker 2: they weren't gonna play Clay Matthews and they weren't gonna
15:05
Speaker 2: play Davante and they weren't gonna play. But is there
15:07
Speaker 2: anybody at that status because you know, do you sit
15:10
Speaker 2: Zaire Franklin?
15:13
Speaker 1: Uh?
15:13
Speaker 3: I think McKinney makes the most sense. I think Franklin
15:16
Speaker 3: will play because he wants. They'll want to at least
15:18
Speaker 3: do somewhat of the operation, maybe a little bit. Probably
15:22
Speaker 3: Devonte Wyatt's still returning. He hasn't he wants been a
15:24
Speaker 3: full go yet in team drills. Aaron Banks hasn't been
15:27
Speaker 3: a full go yet in team drills. But I'm telling you,
15:30
Speaker 3: I would be surprised if if Ziebach isn't playing tonight
15:34
Speaker 3: again just because of he He was one of the
15:36
Speaker 3: main reasons why and he was now for the last
15:38
Speaker 3: week or so been pretty much a full go in
15:41
Speaker 3: team drills. Josh Jacobs sting dub he won't go. Maybe
15:43
Speaker 3: you don't see Christian Watson Jane Reed. Those are two guys. Yeah,
15:47
Speaker 3: those are side. I got some guys play, that's the thing.
15:54
Speaker 3: And I mean, if you guys played, Love's gonna be
15:56
Speaker 3: out there. I don't know that you're gonna throw it.
15:58
Speaker 3: Have him throwing to JM Michael Sturdvan Will Shepherd and
16:00
Speaker 3: Isaiah Nayer the whole time. That's the thing I mean.
16:02
Speaker 3: And also, I don't know. Yeah, we can debate this
16:05
Speaker 3: all day, but I want to win week one. I
16:07
Speaker 3: want to win Week two. Like we can debate all
16:09
Speaker 3: day what the impact is. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't.
16:11
Speaker 3: But if there's a way to help yourself get prepared
16:14
Speaker 3: for that game, I think you have to play a
16:16
Speaker 3: little bit. Now, the Packers were really prepared in the
16:18
Speaker 3: first two weeks last year, or he'sn't seemed that way.
16:20
Speaker 3: They played great, and then it wasn't the same the
16:22
Speaker 3: rest of the year, So I don't know.
16:24
Speaker 1: I don't think that was an issue last year.
16:26
Speaker 2: Recently, I mean, I'm looking at some of the top
16:28
Speaker 2: quarterbacks outside of Kansas City, right, because that's the outlier,
16:32
Speaker 2: but most top quarterbacks.
16:34
Speaker 3: Did Jordan Love play a snap last year? Jordan Loves
16:37
Speaker 3: played in all of his preseasons. Yes, he has played
16:39
Speaker 3: in the opener of every preseason as the starting quarterback
16:41
Speaker 3: and then.
16:42
Speaker 1: That's it and then shut it down. And then last
16:45
Speaker 1: last year. I know Dak hasn't played one since twenty nineteen.
16:48
Speaker 3: Last year he played, Yeah, after his ankle bent the
16:51
Speaker 3: wrong way that that was kind of the resident him.
16:54
Speaker 1: There are certain guys out here.
16:54
Speaker 3: He played against the Jets last year and then that's
16:56
Speaker 3: when he got dinged. So that was when he hit
16:59
Speaker 3: that hand on the helmet. They went one for five
17:02
Speaker 3: and he did not play the rest of the time.
17:05
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty four, they played the first game of the
17:08
Speaker 3: preseason in Cleveland, had one series, drove down for a
17:12
Speaker 3: quick touchdown hit don Tavian Wis three plays in, and
17:15
Speaker 3: then did not return for the rest of the preseason.
17:17
Speaker 3: So a lot of times they've played one game and
17:19
Speaker 3: then that's been that's been a game.
17:21
Speaker 2: One game, you know, one series. Again, it used to
17:24
Speaker 2: be the measure with one or two series. The first game,
17:27
Speaker 2: the second game you'd play like the first half. The
17:30
Speaker 2: third game, you touch the third quarter and get you'd
17:32
Speaker 2: go in for half time and come back out the
17:33
Speaker 2: little sweat going out a halftime.
17:35
Speaker 1: You knew what that was like. And then you bubble
17:37
Speaker 1: wrap the fourth game.
17:38
Speaker 2: But so now that's completely out because you only have
17:40
Speaker 2: three and you have the controlled practice, the controlled scrimmage,
17:44
Speaker 2: which is basically like the week three now where that's
17:46
Speaker 2: where you guys will get a ladder. Yeah, and then
17:49
Speaker 2: they'll they'll bubble wrap them for the in the stadium.
17:51
Speaker 1: So that's changed.
17:52
Speaker 2: But so it's like the fluidity comes in weeks one
17:56
Speaker 2: and two now and most teams do do like the
17:59
Speaker 2: controlled scrimmage.
18:00
Speaker 3: Are there any outliers of teams that I believe every
18:02
Speaker 3: team is doing every practices. Yeah, and a lot of
18:04
Speaker 3: them are doing.
18:05
Speaker 2: And that's where the starters iron Sharpen's iron and you
18:08
Speaker 2: get the starters against the starters.
18:09
Speaker 1: They probably drew one of the only teams that are
18:11
Speaker 1: only doing one.
18:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point. I mean, Robert Salad his
18:14
Speaker 3: boy's doing three of them.
18:16
Speaker 1: You'd have thought they would have had one in Denver too,
18:18
Speaker 1: I would have thought.
18:19
Speaker 3: So Wayne did mention that of it being a long trip,
18:23
Speaker 3: and that seemed like it wore on the process and
18:26
Speaker 3: for Lafleur and everybody because like, we got out there,
18:29
Speaker 3: we flew on Wednesday, then we had to practice on
18:32
Speaker 3: Thursday in the morning, recap, watch, wait, hang out Friday,
18:37
Speaker 3: then the game's late night Saturday. It's like I felt
18:40
Speaker 3: we were out there for a week and a half.
18:41
Speaker 3: So I wonder if that was a little bit of
18:43
Speaker 3: the separation for it. I would be surprised though, if
18:46
Speaker 3: they don't do multiple going forward. I mentioned like the
18:48
Speaker 3: Tennessee Titans now granted new coach, new system, new offense,
18:51
Speaker 3: young quarterback, They're doing one for every one of their
18:54
Speaker 3: preseason games.
18:54
Speaker 1: They're like, we want to figure out who we got.
18:57
Speaker 3: And as as much as I've beat the drum for
18:59
Speaker 3: the should put those joint practice on TV, maybe I
19:03
Speaker 3: don't want that because then they will.
19:04
Speaker 1: Become preseason games. Two point zero.
19:06
Speaker 3: We just can't listening to Brian Gudokuns, which she's at TV.
19:09
Speaker 3: He stopped by the Corey Banky Palace yesterday. Great conversation
19:14
Speaker 3: they get those guys had with him.
19:16
Speaker 1: Uh.
19:16
Speaker 3: He had mentioned He's like, listen our public practice. We
19:19
Speaker 3: have thirteen of them. A lot of other teams have
19:21
Speaker 3: uh have like three, so there's a lot more opportunity
19:25
Speaker 3: for them to work on stuff behind closed doors and
19:28
Speaker 3: without cameras and stuff.
19:29
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons why they.
19:30
Speaker 3: Freak out on filming so much, and one of the
19:33
Speaker 3: reasons why they probably want to see how many opportunities
19:36
Speaker 3: they can have uh under some camouflage to work on
19:40
Speaker 3: some of the stuff they want to have ready for
19:41
Speaker 3: week one, So they have some of those unscouted looks
19:44
Speaker 3: for the Minnesota Yeah, which is always we got to.
19:45
Speaker 1: Have that buzzword.
19:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have it looks, which is always the coaches, Sorry,
19:50
Speaker 3: guys like that.
19:51
Speaker 1: You're firing in that crank it up. We gotta go
19:54
Speaker 1: to break.
19:55
Speaker 3: But they're always worried about yeah, trying good things in secrecy,
19:58
Speaker 3: and they don't want we don't want people to know
19:59
Speaker 3: what we're doing. You have to be able to do things, yeah,
20:01
Speaker 3: and not get look not let people see them. NFL
20:04
Speaker 3: coaches will always football coaches will always be worried about
20:07
Speaker 3: that other teams spying on him and looking at him.
20:09
Speaker 3: He said, uh wod he was mentioning. You know, I
20:12
Speaker 3: used to make fun of Ted Thompson for looking over him, like, hey,
20:14
Speaker 3: there's somebody on the rush center.
20:16
Speaker 1: Go check out who that is. It's a constant paranoia.
20:18
Speaker 3: It's like then all of a sudden, I became the GM.
20:20
Speaker 3: I saw some guys on the rush center. Who that is?
20:24
Speaker 3: I mean we went to Cincinnati for enjoyed practice. He's like,
20:26
Speaker 3: they're about seven or eight skyscrapers around him. Was like,
20:29
Speaker 3: maybe I need to be a little less paranoid.
20:31
Speaker 1: I mean, going on.
20:32
Speaker 3: Starting little giants when Rick moranis uh called the cops
20:35
Speaker 3: on Ed O'Neill, first mine on the first mine on
20:37
Speaker 3: little kids, even though it was his brother and.
20:39
Speaker 1: The other coaching, other team coach and spying on his kids.
20:42
Speaker 2: With the Igo oh or Men Classic eight seven seven
20:46
Speaker 2: seven nine.
20:48
Speaker 1: Packers Tackle Football.
20:49
Speaker 2: The fact that we can talk about Packers Steelers tonight
20:50
Speaker 2: will delay us from talking about the Brewers and others
20:55
Speaker 2: they're thanking us for yesterday at in sand Sandy goes
20:58
Speaker 2: on to Los Angeles today after just a sleepwalking series
21:02
Speaker 2: in San Diego.
21:03
Speaker 3: Hey, we can still win the series. We can still
21:04
Speaker 3: win the road trip.
21:05
Speaker 1: Yesterday.
21:06
Speaker 2: It was a crusher, though, what a crush it was? Emotionally, Yeah,
21:09
Speaker 2: quite the bummer. We'll talk about all that and more.
21:11
Speaker 2: You're in the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.

22:30
Speaker 3: That's six states. They go fast and ever expanding Packers
22:33
Speaker 3: Radio network. I like that we're in the land of
22:35
Speaker 3: the jack Rabbits.
22:36
Speaker 1: Good.
22:37
Speaker 3: That good that Tucker Craft's home home state is able
22:40
Speaker 3: to listen to him dominate once we get some regular
22:43
Speaker 3: season games up there against the Minnesota Vikings.
22:46
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, yeah.
22:48
Speaker 2: Can you uh so yeah tonight? What else are you
22:51
Speaker 2: gonna watch? First of all, it's the first question is
22:53
Speaker 2: how much the starters play. And then after that we've
22:57
Speaker 2: talked about how the Packers don't have there's not a
22:59
Speaker 2: lot of of open competition like the on the edges
23:02
Speaker 2: there hardcore position battles. There's not as many as many
23:05
Speaker 2: hard core position battles. It's more about like because we've
23:08
Speaker 2: seen some shuffling. But I still think Keishaw Nixon is
23:12
Speaker 2: gonna start.
23:13
Speaker 1: No, I would agree.
23:14
Speaker 2: Carson Valentine probably gonna start, but maybe we'll see, you know, you.
23:17
Speaker 3: Get and you get a good run look at Brandon
23:20
Speaker 3: c Say, you get a hopefully extended look at Marshawn
23:22
Speaker 3: Lloyd Drew in a game where he gets tackled to
23:25
Speaker 3: the ground and then has to pop back up.
23:26
Speaker 1: Those are good things to be able to see. Those
23:28
Speaker 1: are the things to watch.
23:29
Speaker 2: But what else are we going to be watching tonight,
23:30
Speaker 2: because again, everybody's vanilla and they We're not going to
23:33
Speaker 2: get much of a rid on Jonathan Gannon's approach because
23:36
Speaker 2: everybody just keeps everything just kind of bland, and that's
23:38
Speaker 2: by design.
23:39
Speaker 1: But you see players.
23:41
Speaker 2: Play, and you get about to get him out there
23:42
Speaker 2: and get them sweaty and stuff. I'm looking, I think
23:45
Speaker 2: a lot, Well, how does Belton react to recent events?
23:49
Speaker 1: Yes, how does he play?
23:50
Speaker 3: And and I'm interested to see how they rotate Jagger
23:52
Speaker 3: Burton and Jacob Monk and maybe Anthony Belton over there
23:56
Speaker 3: right guard because that competition looks like it's very much
23:58
Speaker 3: wide open.
23:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's that. And then how much did we
24:02
Speaker 2: said did they play Jayden Reid?
24:04
Speaker 1: Maybe not? Like did they probably not?
24:06
Speaker 3: He was dinged up him and him and Golden both
24:09
Speaker 3: missed the Monday practice, so I could very much see
24:13
Speaker 3: both of them.
24:14
Speaker 1: End end up out.
24:16
Speaker 3: I would anticipate Golden would play at least the tick,
24:20
Speaker 3: but then Watson and Watson would play only with love.
24:24
Speaker 3: One good deep ball to love, and that's probably about it.
24:26
Speaker 1: Only with love, and then when love goes out, he'll
24:28
Speaker 1: go out.
24:29
Speaker 3: Very excited to see save on Williams though in that
24:30
Speaker 3: wide receiver room, if we're talking about it, Wayne and
24:33
Speaker 3: I have mentioned a lot of the guys who are
24:34
Speaker 3: battling for some of the final spots, but Williams is
24:37
Speaker 3: a guy that's probably battling more for an opportunity to
24:41
Speaker 3: get real looks and get real opportunities uh in game
24:45
Speaker 3: action because a year ago he was hampered by a
24:47
Speaker 3: foot injury. For the majority in the back half of
24:49
Speaker 3: the year. He was still returning kicks even though he
24:52
Speaker 3: was walking around in a boot most of the week.
24:54
Speaker 3: So that was a very, very impressive showing he had
24:56
Speaker 3: a year ago. But he's been fully healthy and he's
24:58
Speaker 3: been flashing every days.
25:00
Speaker 1: So Monty Jackson drawn any attention.
25:02
Speaker 3: He has not really practiced much, Drew, and there was
25:05
Speaker 3: a he hasn't haven't heard much. Pete Boardy asked uh
25:09
Speaker 3: Lafleur Tuesday. I believe it was. Uh, did Money Jackson
25:13
Speaker 3: have core muscle surgery? A long pause. Malford looks down
25:18
Speaker 3: in and goes, who told you that? He was like, well,
25:21
Speaker 3: I knew it was a core injury. Uh during the
25:23
Speaker 3: spring he was, Yeah, that's separate from it. But he
25:25
Speaker 3: did have that working through some other stuff. But he
25:28
Speaker 3: hasn't really flashed much at all because he hasn't really
25:30
Speaker 3: been in there in team drills. Jalen Simpson is the
25:34
Speaker 3: guy that has probably flashed the most over there, and
25:37
Speaker 3: then he might make the he might be making this
25:39
Speaker 3: the club.
25:39
Speaker 2: I was thinking, like Demanie Jackson's a guy, would you
25:42
Speaker 2: expect him to like make plays on special teams and stuff?
25:44
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
25:45
Speaker 2: But Bokeem Melton will be ready to go for drills.
25:49
Speaker 2: Chris McClellan and denied Dennis Sutton. Is this their night
25:51
Speaker 2: to shine on national TV? Chris McClellan definitely going to
25:54
Speaker 2: get a lot of opportunity. My boy Anthony Campbell, who's
25:57
Speaker 2: been one of the talks of camp gonna absolutely get
25:59
Speaker 2: a chance there. And I would also you mentioned Ziar
26:02
Speaker 2: Franklin as one of those guys that maybe gets bubble
26:04
Speaker 2: wrapped again.
26:05
Speaker 1: Probably like a series or two.
26:07
Speaker 3: Real extended run for Tyron Hopper because Isamh McDuffie will
26:10
Speaker 3: play a decent amount most likely, but he's extended. You
26:14
Speaker 3: know what you have in Isaiah McDuffie. They'll get him
26:16
Speaker 3: some looks and reps just to get himself ready. But
26:18
Speaker 3: I would assume there's a lot of development opportunity for
26:22
Speaker 3: Tyron Hopper, who doesn't get a ton of defensive snaps
26:25
Speaker 3: in the regular season as one of the core backups,
26:29
Speaker 3: but he ended up playing huge last year in the
26:32
Speaker 3: playoff game, had a pick down near the goal line,
26:35
Speaker 3: and has just not had a ton of opportunities. Brandon
26:38
Speaker 3: Cis though and Nags and Bank. He talked about it
26:41
Speaker 3: with Brian Gudokunz. There's certain players you have to see
26:47
Speaker 3: how they react in different settings. See say not gonna
26:50
Speaker 3: go up against DK metcalf or Michael Pittman for the Steelers.
26:54
Speaker 3: Roman Wilson's got real NFL speed, though, and to see
26:57
Speaker 3: how he reacts in an NFL stadium with that kind
27:01
Speaker 3: of pressure. He played in the SEC. He's seen bigger
27:03
Speaker 3: crowds than he'll see tonight, but very excited to see
27:06
Speaker 3: how he translates it, but I did hear Arman mention
27:09
Speaker 3: it real briefly. There the one spot in the one
27:13
Speaker 3: thing you're gonna see manufactured, the one thing that you're
27:15
Speaker 3: gonna see Crowbard into tonight's game. I think I can
27:19
Speaker 3: safely bet there will be three to four field goals attempted.
27:23
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And if the Packers are sitting Drew right
27:26
Speaker 3: near like say, the twenty eight yard line, and it's
27:30
Speaker 3: third and two, they're throwing that thing as deep as possible,
27:34
Speaker 3: not being upset. If it goes right out of the
27:35
Speaker 3: back of the end zone, they will not go forward
27:37
Speaker 3: on fourth down. And I imagine they're gonna take every
27:39
Speaker 3: opportunity to send Tray Smack out there and get a
27:42
Speaker 3: look in the stadium, because that's what they've said multiple
27:45
Speaker 3: times is what's only going to matter in this evaluation
27:48
Speaker 3: process and figure out if they need to bring somebody
27:50
Speaker 3: else in. Yeah, we gotta see this guy kick. We
27:52
Speaker 3: gotta see a kick, big Dog, we gotta see you
27:53
Speaker 3: kick in this building. And whether or not the results
27:56
Speaker 3: are good, they'll least learn something from it. And the
27:58
Speaker 3: thing is, you're right, Billy, it helps make decisions going forward.
28:01
Speaker 3: I think they're sticking with him. They're gonna work through
28:02
Speaker 3: whatever issue they are, But it always comes down to
28:04
Speaker 3: how bad is it, because this is still a business
28:06
Speaker 3: of winning in this league and that's what you have
28:09
Speaker 3: to do. So we will see Trey smack some and
28:12
Speaker 3: if he misses some, they will be talking smack around here,
28:15
Speaker 3: right Howeverfty, I hope he nails all of them. I
28:22
Speaker 3: hope he booms him right through the uprights with room
28:24
Speaker 3: to spare. But we're all gonna feel that before he
28:28
Speaker 3: kicks it. Does any of us really expect it to
28:30
Speaker 3: really go perfectly? I don't, But however it might and
28:33
Speaker 3: that would be great. Maybe he'll just be great at
28:34
Speaker 3: kicking in the bowl, which is really where it matters anyway. Yeah,
28:38
Speaker 3: the NFL stadiums is where it really does matter, Arm
28:40
Speaker 3: And you're right, as much as we would love to
28:42
Speaker 3: see you go perfect out at Rainichki Field, that really
28:45
Speaker 3: doesn't much matter much. Because I watched Greg Joseph half
28:48
Speaker 3: days where he would shut the box and then they
28:50
Speaker 3: quickly escorted him right on out of the lambeau Field
28:53
Speaker 3: locker room if they were very much okay moving on
28:56
Speaker 3: from him at any.
28:57
Speaker 1: Point in time.
28:57
Speaker 3: I watched Brandon mcmannons nail him at Rayniski Field all summer.
29:00
Speaker 3: I mean, boy, you would could not miss from fifty sixty.
29:05
Speaker 1: But you know what he did miss in the NFL playoffs. Yeah,
29:07
Speaker 1: only only in the biggest the biggest spots. It sometimes
29:10
Speaker 1: is like that.
29:11
Speaker 3: You you mentioned Drew, What else are you gonna watch?
29:13
Speaker 3: There's a decent amount of other NFL games. There's one
29:16
Speaker 3: going on as well, right in the same wheelhouse, uh,
29:19
Speaker 3: six o'clock kick in the NFC North, the Lions take
29:22
Speaker 3: on the Bengals.
29:23
Speaker 1: Bengals have played Joey b a couple.
29:25
Speaker 3: Of times uh in recent years, trying to spice themselves up,
29:29
Speaker 3: get themselves ready to roll. But really, Packers and Steelers
29:32
Speaker 3: turns into the undercard the first time. Really, I think
29:35
Speaker 3: that we can safely assume we're gonna watch a West
29:37
Speaker 3: Coast Brewers game with the New Hours live. We're gonna
29:42
Speaker 3: we're gonna get live viewing of Living Dodgers tonight.
29:44
Speaker 1: That's true.
29:45
Speaker 3: We'll be hanging out with you, so while you're watching
29:47
Speaker 3: rap hang out with us for Packers ots.
29:49
Speaker 1: It's a good point. We'll be careful not to uh,
29:53
Speaker 1: not to miss anything, not to miss anything.
29:56
Speaker 2: And uh, you know we missed uh Charles and Arkdale
29:59
Speaker 2: because we were watching them Brewers.
30:01
Speaker 3: Well, as long as we don't take a Freddie Freeman
30:02
Speaker 3: and just stumble right through the whole thing, I think
30:04
Speaker 3: we'll be okay, we should be all right.
30:06
Speaker 1: I'll stay I'll stay focused.
30:07
Speaker 3: So you guys make sure stay vigil You guys can
30:09
Speaker 3: watch that and that's good.
30:10
Speaker 1: And we got listen.
30:11
Speaker 3: And we have avoided talking Brewers so far, so I
30:14
Speaker 3: feel that's a service. But I also feel like we're
30:16
Speaker 3: gonna have to do it. So we do have a
30:17
Speaker 3: hopeful text from Rondo. We'll have to get to that,
30:19
Speaker 3: all right. Roda has them up for us and he
30:22
Speaker 3: does love it.
30:22
Speaker 1: Very unique.
30:23
Speaker 3: But you gotta in a streak like this, you gotta
30:25
Speaker 3: find some way to try, and you gotta squint for
30:27
Speaker 3: some open squint for some optimism is a good way
30:29
Speaker 3: to put it.
30:30
Speaker 1: So that's right.
30:30
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven seven nine four one ninety seven three
30:33
Speaker 2: gets you in. It's game day in the good Land.
30:35
Speaker 2: We're very excited. We will talk Brewers and Padres although
30:37
Speaker 2: we don't want to, but we're on to la Brewers, uh,
30:41
Speaker 2: you know, licking their wounds after their third I think
30:43
Speaker 2: it's the third time they've been swept this season in
30:45
Speaker 2: the series. Goodness gracious, and this one just done field
30:48
Speaker 2: to see the other times we're by Pittsburgh and Washington.
30:51
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. Yes, Washington and Washington was at home,
30:54
Speaker 1: wasn't it. I believe early in the year. I believe so.
30:57
Speaker 1: All right, that made me feel a lot better, Drew,
30:59
Speaker 1: Thank you. I needed that up. Yeah, yeah, you're in
31:01
Speaker 1: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. The preseason opener for
31:08
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers is as.
31:10
Speaker 2: An opener, what do we prefer preseason? Exhibition? Still exhibition?
31:14
Speaker 1: To me?
31:14
Speaker 3: I was gonna say exhibition is a good one. I
31:16
Speaker 3: usually end up saying preseason because it's the easier one
31:19
Speaker 3: to determine what sport we're talking about, Right like spring
31:24
Speaker 3: training you only talk about for baseball. You don't call
31:27
Speaker 3: the boys cavorting in Maryvale Baseball Park.
31:30
Speaker 1: Pardon me, American Family Fields of Phoenix.
31:32
Speaker 3: Yes, we don't call that training camp, even though there
31:35
Speaker 3: will be, Drew, I imagine every single year that you
31:38
Speaker 3: would be out there for six to seven weeks. Maybe
31:40
Speaker 3: how's training camp going good? And spring training is beautiful?
31:43
Speaker 3: It's one of my easiest lines of demarcations, so you
31:46
Speaker 3: separate and know what the sports are. I've always called
31:48
Speaker 3: the Bucks games the exhibition games as well in the NBA,
31:51
Speaker 3: those are I mean, you aren't really talk about an
31:53
Speaker 3: exhibition half the regular season.
31:56
Speaker 1: Could also feel like.
31:57
Speaker 2: That's true, you don't get any of those, but preseason
31:59
Speaker 2: exit ambition doesn't matter. They're going to be playing tonight
32:03
Speaker 2: on the banks of what are.
32:05
Speaker 3: The Rivers, the Allegheny, the Ohio? Right? Yeah? And the
32:11
Speaker 3: third one is the third tenor is the hardest the
32:14
Speaker 3: manga manga I got.
32:19
Speaker 1: I got closer than I did last time you go.
32:21
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. I remember a guy.
32:24
Speaker 3: Once upon a time there was a site that sold shirts.
32:27
Speaker 3: It was I think it was awful announcing maybe not,
32:29
Speaker 3: but it was naming wrongs, you know. And you could
32:31
Speaker 3: get the shirt that said I miss so and so,
32:33
Speaker 3: And I remember the guy wore the I missed three
32:35
Speaker 3: Rivers Stadium shirt around uh Miller Park at the time,
32:39
Speaker 3: was wearing it in for a Pirates game, Like, all right,
32:41
Speaker 3: this guy's a real one right here.
32:43
Speaker 2: Three Rivers and then Veterans Stadium were two of the
32:45
Speaker 2: great dumps. Was a dump, but it was hard. I
32:50
Speaker 2: mean but Veterans Stadium, man, that entire place smelled of vomit.
32:57
Speaker 2: In San Francisco smells like garlic because they make the
32:59
Speaker 2: garlic fries.
33:00
Speaker 1: The whole ballpark smells like garlic. And it's kind of cool.
33:03
Speaker 2: Uh, That Veteran stadium on a hot summer day and
33:06
Speaker 2: muggy summer day smelled everywhere you went smelled like vomit.
33:09
Speaker 3: What did smell like mash like the malt from the bit.
33:14
Speaker 3: It was like a little.
33:15
Speaker 1: Suet, little little summer day sewage.
33:18
Speaker 2: Or what no, trying to think it was more it
33:21
Speaker 2: was like there was a musty mustiness to it. There
33:23
Speaker 2: we go, I like that, especially like in the bowels
33:26
Speaker 2: like that. It was like always damp and kind of
33:28
Speaker 2: kind of musty, kind of basically like it was basement t.
33:33
Speaker 3: But it wasn't like completely unpleasant and like your ant's
33:36
Speaker 3: basement where you'd always go and hang out because they
33:39
Speaker 3: keep a TV down there.
33:40
Speaker 1: It wasn't really.
33:40
Speaker 2: Before the kids wanted to play to get away from
33:42
Speaker 2: the parents so they could adult conversation.
33:44
Speaker 1: They kept but it was kind of musty, Yeah, a
33:46
Speaker 1: little bit.
33:47
Speaker 2: Musty, but it was with the seating bowl and stuff,
33:50
Speaker 2: and when they got a breeze through there, it was nice.
33:51
Speaker 2: But in the concourses and down especially down below the
33:54
Speaker 2: service level where we spent a lot of time, it
33:57
Speaker 2: was like basement dish, not horrible, not definitely not vomit smelling.
34:02
Speaker 3: I think it was always helpful that kind of the
34:03
Speaker 3: bleachers were separate from the rest of the bowl. So
34:07
Speaker 3: was it one continuous, you know thing, So it was
34:09
Speaker 3: a wide open there in that sense that was that
34:11
Speaker 3: was always good. I uh no, I don't know exactly
34:13
Speaker 3: what uh the Late Country Dockhounds stadium smells like after
34:17
Speaker 3: Wednesday night last night, Fellas they had a they had
34:22
Speaker 3: a legend amongst us world all time, maybe the greatest
34:28
Speaker 3: competitive athlete in American history.

Speaker 3: of eight seven seven. This is like, you know that
35:14
Speaker 3: that old grainy video of somebody beating Jordan at the
35:17
Speaker 3: one on one at the Nike camp, But then like
35:18
Speaker 3: they actually got video of this. Wow, this is a
35:21
Speaker 3: pelt you can have on your wall forever. Because Joey
35:23
Speaker 3: Chestnut's not a one trippony. He holds multiple eating records.
35:26
Speaker 3: People think he's just a hot dog. He he's ticked. Yeah, oh,
35:29
Speaker 3: he is ticked in this video.
35:31
Speaker 1: That they have that's beating Jordan in a dunk content.
35:33
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, he's sitting there stewing with the Nathan
35:37
Speaker 3: Tot dog eating belt on waiting and a top counts jersey,
35:41
Speaker 3: and the decision goes to the man in the red
35:43
Speaker 3: shirt with a camouflage hat. He came straight out of
35:47
Speaker 3: a tree stand with a beautiful ginger beard and a
35:49
Speaker 3: heart and desire like nobody else to be able to
35:52
Speaker 3: hoist up the Tater Tot belt at formerly WBC Park.
35:56
Speaker 1: Does he look pissed? You're right, I mean, oh my god.
35:59
Speaker 3: That is a of somebody who cannot believe that they
36:03
Speaker 3: just caught a fat old And that's a face of
36:05
Speaker 3: somebody that's the clock's never offer him like he's gonna
36:08
Speaker 3: win every he's gonna keep his reputation all the time,
36:11
Speaker 3: like they're coming at the king at all times, and
36:12
Speaker 3: he takes that seriously. I really apologize, guys, but I
36:15
Speaker 3: that video was just that's great captivating me in a
36:18
Speaker 3: different type of way. Jordan in a dunk contest. Maybe
36:24
Speaker 3: not Barns in a home run hitting contest, because you
36:26
Speaker 3: know that's not happening, but you're not beating like like
36:29
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think like did ever kid ever beat
36:31
Speaker 3: Like was there a quarterback that that ever got beat
36:34
Speaker 3: by a kid in like a tire throw?
36:35
Speaker 1: Is just beating Tiger Woods in a Quicken nine in
36:38
Speaker 1: your local muni?
36:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's not even possible, right, So you almost
36:41
Speaker 3: think to yourself like this is you're doing the impossible.
36:44
Speaker 3: You're beating Joey Chestnut, Like maybe it's a food he's
36:47
Speaker 3: not if it's a food he's unfamiliar with, or how
36:49
Speaker 3: it was judged, I'm sure he's gonna complain about how
36:51
Speaker 3: it was judged in one of those deals. Maybe I
36:53
Speaker 3: don't know. I have no idea, But all I know
36:56
Speaker 3: is you got a pelt on your wall forever. When
36:58
Speaker 3: you say I beat hey kid. You know that famous guy,
37:01
Speaker 3: I beat him once, And I see that belt up
37:03
Speaker 3: there that I got. I got that from beating Joey Chess.
37:05
Speaker 3: Tell me about the grand place. That's impressive stuff right there. Wow,
37:10
Speaker 3: I don't know that we're going to see anything that
37:11
Speaker 3: impressive tonight drew in preseason opener number one or exhibition opener.
37:15
Speaker 1: Next question, I got, I got. I got a sneaky suspicion.
37:18
Speaker 3: That's gonna be the best video that we see inside
37:21
Speaker 3: of a stadium today, unless the Brewers go and beat
37:23
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, then we would see something a lot better,
37:26
Speaker 3: because Lord knows they need one.
37:27
Speaker 1: Joey chest not.
37:27
Speaker 3: By the way, it's fifty five world records across fifty
37:30
Speaker 3: five disciplines. They say, I don't know if competitive eating
37:33
Speaker 3: could be. So there you go, and he's the number
37:36
Speaker 3: one rank he's first in the world, first ranked in
37:40
Speaker 3: the world by m l E and majorly eating. That's
37:42
Speaker 3: kind of discipline I wanted when I was a kid. Yeah,
37:45
Speaker 3: I means he said I got the time out discipline. No,
37:47
Speaker 3: why don't I get the chicken wing wing eating contest discipline?
37:50
Speaker 1: He's got eighteen Mustard yellow belts? So what more to beat?
37:53
Speaker 3: Jack Nicholas for majors? Are there any other majors? And
38:00
Speaker 3: special one more? Yeah? They do some wild stuff. I'm
38:05
Speaker 3: pretty sure they eat fried rice as one of the
38:07
Speaker 3: competitions that too. Yeah, I mean do you imagine that
38:10
Speaker 3: stone run? Oh my goodness, that's hard to deter Is
38:13
Speaker 3: it just by bounces or I.
38:15
Speaker 1: Believe it's wait, yeah, I believe it's weight eating.
38:17
Speaker 3: He's also a nine time world ribating champion, but it
38:20
Speaker 3: looks like the last one was ten years ago, so
38:22
Speaker 3: might be passed his prime on that.
38:23
Speaker 1: It might be Listen, he might just be over the hill.
38:25
Speaker 1: Well he's forty two. What's the prime for an eater?
38:28
Speaker 1: That's a fair point question. That a young man's game.
38:31
Speaker 1: I mean, Westbrook retired.
38:32
Speaker 3: Maybe he has to in Sussex like beating Steph Curry
38:35
Speaker 3: in a three point contest, that's exact. That's a good one. Yeah, yeah,
38:38
Speaker 3: it's a good one. That would be a that's a
38:40
Speaker 3: fair comparison. That's impressed. I wonder about the convos like
38:43
Speaker 3: to with him and the other guys at the table
38:44
Speaker 3: right before, because we've been doing some of those admirals
38:46
Speaker 3: eating contests. But the guys are kind of chummy because
38:49
Speaker 3: they're all fans and they all kind of joke around before.
38:51
Speaker 1: I'm like, is he just stare like who's finishing? Second?
38:54
Speaker 3: Like the old Larry Bird, he walked he walked out
38:58
Speaker 3: like Paul Cogan in the seventies. I mean, people are tapping,
39:01
Speaker 3: people are high five and they're smacking his bag as
39:04
Speaker 3: he's walking down this like very very tight corridor.
39:07
Speaker 1: That was a wild, wild wide Wold oh Man.

39:38
