• 2:34
  Speaker 2: by the case, you know, when you get a changed.
• 2:35

• 2:38
  Speaker 3: to New Glaris and cow.

• 3:28
  Speaker 2: but someone in the neighborhood had a party. Oh and
• 3:31

• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and the text that it's so and Miller products courtesy

• 3:40
  Speaker 2: He always had that great employee uh whatever, which which
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I like because they get the cases and I don't
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: feel the guilt of being like, man, I'm drinking all

• 3:53
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? So, all right, thanks guys.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I mull just take it as a victory lamp. Yeah,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: see how many of these I can fill up and
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: do it like Lincoln. We'll say thanks at the end
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I remember what. I don't know what the perk is now,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: but it used to be pretty good, Like.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, used to be two. I thought
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: it was two cases a month.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Cases a month sounds about.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Which I don't know if that's true anymore.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Well, and then back in the day, I mean again,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: this is back when my grams was working. Yeah, I
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: was just grab what you could get, pig take whatever's
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: take whatever's out there, take whatever's out there, and go
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: in and grab.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: But that employee benefit is beautiful.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I do also like that they put it with a
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: courtesy of Hey, just so you know, let's make sure
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: you give a thank you. Who do we thank you?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Who do we make sure you go over and shake
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: this man's hands for bringing all the beer, smart smart
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: smart place.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: It is nice. Your grand was the working brewers, Billy.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: That's kind of cool, big one.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's a great lot of a lot of paps
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: neon signs from from my.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Grand school forty some years and that is awesome.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Apparently it was three cases a monthline how about.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: That man's so, I mean, just break that down, because
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: we're we're in Wisconsin. Case means thirty correct, four You
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: go just about anywhere else case means twenty four. I
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: think a case I'm grabbing a thirty rack, right like
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: that's how it's always been. But you think about thirty
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: six talking that's the real play.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Did they use to make the thirty packs back then?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Wisconsin's one of the only places you find thirty packs.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Like you go to Florida, there are no thirty racks,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: which makes me kind of sad because that's the box
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: the grab.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: It's true that one feels better in the hand.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: The costco thing reminds me of my first chambered up
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: game ball or kick to the balls. Let's get it going.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Game balls and kicks the balls a Monday tradition. In
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the huddle, we recap things that happen over the weekend.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: It can be pop culture, it can be whatever you want.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Don't have to be necessarily just sports. But if you
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: want to give someone a game ball for a job
• 5:40

• 5:49
  Speaker 1: chill the bleepout, Jake Rakes. Meanwhile, if you want to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: give someone a kick to the huevos and refocus them
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Put them on double secret probation. Kick
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to the balls? Is this?
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: I hope it doesn't, you know, come back to buy this.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Robert Roberts, hope it doesn't come back to bite us
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: losing to the brewkerw There you go, game balls and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: kicks of the balls. And I want to give a
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: game ball to my friend Max, who came up with
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the light of the day yesterday at State Fair. He
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: had never been to the Wisconsin State Fair and he
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: was strolling around and we strolled through the the expo hall.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You know, I want to see the salsa guy. I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: like a front center for the salsa guy making the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: salsa with the chopper, the mops and stuff. And after
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: about five minutes, Max observed, this is like a Costco
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: on meth.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Jake rags. That's funny.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I've been I've been looking for a great way to
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: describe the expo hall and the you know that is it?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, tubs, hot tubs.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Here, tarot readings here, uh, you know, sporting goods, admirals.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I saw friends.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: It gets because now at Costco you'll see that little
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: piece of cardboard. Hey man, buy two Brewers tickets right,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: get anything you want there.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And the thing about it is, you know, not only
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: do you have the like at Costco, get the free samples,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you have the items. Not only do you have the items,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: you had the guys that are marketing them, you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the hypeman, the broad call them brock, they're legit broadcasters.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Oh they're up all day, Mike, Yeah. Crazy.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I walk by with my two cases of water now
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: at Costco and the guy goes, hey, man, let me
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: tell you about how we can make.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: This little easier for you. Brother. I appreciate.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I've heard this.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I heard this feel about one hundreds, So that is
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: that is a great way of saying it. The other
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: thing is, you know that the best value is buying
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: three of them, whether it's a mop mop, vacuum cleaner,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: the salsa acher. In all reality, you're just trying to
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: figure out how can I offload two of these to
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: really get the value, because I'm not just buying one
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: for thirty five ninety nine when I could get three
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: for fifty.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: The pitches were great too. On the last day, it's like, well,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I only have a few left, but you
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: can buy them online for forty. But like if the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: next five people that come up. I'm gonna give you
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: a whole thing for twenty but I only have a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: few left because it's only last day.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: There's only there's only thirty eight more estate fairs to go, Like,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: come on, come on, we know you're going somewhere else next.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but the last thing you want to do is
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: pack those sons of guns up and load them up.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Now, is that like the corporate version of
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: a Carney, like, you know, a Carnie.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely carnies.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: But I mean, aren't they like the more white collar version.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know about.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know that they're I don't know that we
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: got to disrespect carnies out here, that's fair, I don't
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: So you're disrespecting the blue collar Carnes, is what I'm hearing.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Flipping their stuff in. They're not like setting up the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: rides and setting up the yeah, bungee thing and you're
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: like a dress wheel.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: You're traveling. Salesmen are traveling. I don't know what the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: right term. Salesman's probably the right because these guys are,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: they're fine. So the blue collar world is the Carneys,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and the white collar world is the guy selling the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: sham walls, so we know which ones you care about
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: or respecting one. Listen, I know works harder, the cartneys
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: work harder. Those guys are, you know, an interesting group
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: of characters. Though, Let's be honest. Let's just be honest.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, hit us up game balls and kicks the balls.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: We got fresh powder on the mountain here. I have
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: whatever you like. Obviously, I think Jake Bowers is in
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: line for a game ball. So is Logan Henderson.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Logan in general, I mean both of those absolutely, But
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: how about one because of Logan Henderson a kick to
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: the balls to Scott Harris.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Kick him Tiger's general manager. Scott Harris was sorry about that.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: I hope it doesn't, you know, come back to buy this.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Understandably so wanted Logan Henderson. Wasn't going to do a
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: deal if it didn't include Logan Henderson. I wasn't even
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: going to talk much about a deal if it didn't
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: include one Logan Henderson. Now Tarrek Schouogle, phenomenal pitcher. He
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: did have a very nice day yesterday. Wasn't unhittable by
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: any stretch of the imagination. But for Scott Harris to
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: not want to really convene and discuss and as but
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: BA said it very well yesterday. I don't know if
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: you caught this on the broadcast, Drew. I think it
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: was maybe second inning. They jumped right into it, and
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: they went right into it. But I love Dilly admittedly
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: like I wanted him to get Schooble. I thought they
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: were gonna and BA said it, it felt pretty preordained
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: that he was gonna go to the Dodgers. He's like,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I'm not. I don't know if there was anything to
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: ferry us going on?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Very well?
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Did BOMs up Ba in the broadcast, But I'm not saying,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: just saying, Man felt like everybody I talked to, everybody
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: knew he was gonna go to La And if that
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: was the hill to die on for the Brewers, then
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: not go get Schooble was keep Logan Henderson. I'll enjoy
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: watching forty three pitch for the next four or five
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: six years, however long he is here, and Scott Harris
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: can keep that weird little collared sweater back up in Detroit.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Enjoy enjoy River Ryan in your enjoyment to country club
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: sounding guy of twenty eight year old rookie. They liked
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: that package a lot more than whatever the Brewers were
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: gonna offer up, and I'm glad ultimately that Logan Henderson
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: was not a part of that package.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: It is wild. It's gonna be nice watching Logan Henderson.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I'm mature because he's already looking pretty damn good. But uh, yeah,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: be careful what you wish for the Bruce just beat Schooble.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Beat him out and we'll see.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Now, maybe we'll most likely see him again, right, like, yeah,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the likelihood is you see him again sometime in October,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: and maybe it faces better. But uh, schoobl threw like
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: three straight heaters right at the top of the zone
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: to Johnny Rockets and you could hear Ba. And how
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: about a game ball to Ba and Tim Dillard as well.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: I hope it doesn't, Jake.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: They were phenomenal over the weekend. And Dilly's like this
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: dude just clearly doesn't care about him. He's very much
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: does not know who Johnny is, does not care about
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: the nine hole hitter for the Brewers. I'm gonna feed
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: him three straight fastballs and beat him third one. He
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: rips into the gap and gets a base hit and
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: keeps a roll rally roling. It's funny to see the
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: names jump not jump off at anybody in baseball, but
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: be able to perform that way. And shout out to
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Pat Murphy for his recall on who his kid.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Played him about that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: That's the son Kai right, played travel ball with this
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: guy or against this guy. Could never get him out,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and he played with guys who ended up in the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: big And this guy was the best guy on the team.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: But he's the best.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: He's like the best player on the team. He's like,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: why on earth is this guy not on the not
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: on a roster? Bring him on in All he does
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: is hit Rocket's.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Hilarious, amazing. Yeah, that's pretty good. All right, all right,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the seal is we've we've opened, We've cracked the seal.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Let's go. What do you got?
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I've got a kicking the balls. But it could be
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: a game to game balls as well, so I.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Hope it doesn't. You know, come back to buy this.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I want you guys are your opinion on this? I
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: saw the match Stamen tweet from yesterday and it made
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: me think, well, what side do I go on? This
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Lafloor just torn to Baron serel and booted him from
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: a drill. Every bull rushed Anthony Belton into a Jordan
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: into Jordan Love and knocked the quarterback down. So I
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: just said to myself, oh, well, kicking the balls to
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Baron Serell, you got to call to the principal's office.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: But then I said, shouldn't be kicking the balls to
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Anthony Belton for not stopping him. I mean, what are
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: we doing here, you know, I mean, what's the point here?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: We're trying to play hard and try and do our
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: job well. So I thought that was interesting. Leafloor Toren
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: to Baron Sorel, and I'm like, well, maybe he shouldn't
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: be you should be tearing into Anthony Belton. I just
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: didn't know how you guys felt on that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Well, because if the drill is no bull rush, and
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: then you consistently bull rush, sure that's generally not going
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: to be to the drill.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: So I get the idea you're not to follow on
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the rules and that's the point of it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but right, it's and and the rule is to
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: stay off the quarterback, stay away from the quarterback. I
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: guess what would be the what would be the worst
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: thing to do if you don't just stay off the quarterback.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Throw a three hundred plus pounder at the quarterback's legs. Sure, yeah,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: that will definitely get you kicked out.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: It was interesting because I do understand that and the
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: point that's good logic and the points true, that's the
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: point of this drill. But you know, the comments. It
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: was incredible to see the comments and everyone's saying, let
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: a hungry dog eat. Maybe the problem is a belt
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: in the floor.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: No eat during the season, eat during games, right, Eat
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: when the red jersey is not on the guy that
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: is throwing the football and makes fifty million dollars when
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: the buffets ready, that's you get.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: You get maybe one of those in a stern warning,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: But more than that, you're getting to getting.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, look no further than Derek Hall, who the
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Seahawks just paid after he helped them win a championship.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: They got Mike McDonald, who's a defensive coach, kicked him
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: out of practice because he's like Derek. That's twice. That's
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: now twice I've had to yell at you to stay
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: off of the quarterback. So how about you stay off
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the field, And now we won't have the conversation like
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: it is the quickest way to get kicked off of
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: any field, any football practice. I've ever been around. Number
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: one rule, stay off the quarterback. Yep, And it's the
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: number one thing that gets yelled throughout practice. Not cut
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: him and crack him, Not outside leverage, no, not strong arm.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: It's stay off of the quarterback.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: And that's why that Crosby thing in Las Vegas was
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: so hilarious with Cousins. Apparently Max Crosby just hits quarterbacks.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: He just runs through, Smaxim in the back, Smaxim on
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: the ass, like the tags the arm. Every once in
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: a while throughout practicing, Kirk Cousins like.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Hey, buddy, yeah, but you cut it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Why I think we're not doing this. We don't do this,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: No one does it, so stop doing.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: And I think part of this, maybe there's like an
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: opinion divide, is some people think that if you're got
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the right football aggressive mentalities, that you should always be
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: looking to break rules and push the edge and do
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. And I think that's where some people
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: had disagreed. I appreciate your perspective, Billy, because I had
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: never practiced on a football field as a football player,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: so I it in my mind I'd be like, yeah,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that the point of this drill is to do this
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: is the right way to get working. But it's just
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: it was amazing to me the amount of people that
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: were saying, you know, Lafleur's going after the wrong guy.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: So I appreciate the perspective. So we'll give him a
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: kicking the balls for that one.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: There you go, you're looking for clarity. Yeah.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: It is also one of my favorites of when fights
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: start rolling through because joint practices happen and there's gonna
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: be Yet they have not had one, and I think
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Xavier McKinney had mentioned it early in camp, Drew of listen,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: we got bigger goals, bigger fish to fry.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: That is one of them.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: The other thing is like, as cool as it is
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: to see everybody get excited and the match football guy
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: in you is like, let's go, come on, we want
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: to see a little bit of that physically. We want
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: to know that this matters to you. You know what
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: also matters being able to play in games. You know
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: what you can't do when you throw a punch play
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: in the game. So as much as you can replicate
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: it and say it's practice, it's a different beast. You're
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: gonna want to understand that if you throw one bow
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: in the middle of a joint practice, if that's a
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: real game, whoever it is, you're out and you just
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: put us in a massive disadvantage. So as cool as
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: it is to get the energy going and the excitement,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: and I for one tomorrow on training camp live when
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: they go full pads, would be excited to see a
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: little scuffle. If it's next week at the joint practice,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: you kind of want to see a little edge. There's
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: a reason why they've eradicated it pretty much from practice,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: and I would be I'd be pretty surprised if all
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: of a sudden the Cardinals came in here and watched
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Paris Johnson, their left tackle Drew start picking a bunch
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: of fights, because I got to imagine the little floor
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: brothers are pretty in sync with that, that sentiment of
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: what and how they want practice looking like.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I would absolutely think so all right, keep him coming
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: eight seven seven, seven nine four one ninety seven to
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: three nicolay Lo dot Com talking text. I want your hot,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: not how it takes your game, balls and kicks, and
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: it can be about anything about how.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: About Jake with the glasses still hitting us up with
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: a game ball. Trace Mack for dominating the preseason game
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: on Thursday night. Let's go Jacobs. Remind everybody about that.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: And also.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: To the Dodgers defensive effort yesterday. Whether, hey, don't don't
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: kick Dino Ebel, the infield coach for the Dodgers. I
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: know he's third base coach, might have might have something
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: to do there. Yeah, Hey, we can't be shut throwing
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: any shade at Dino, right, all right, Dino's birth two
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: young future Milwaukee Brewer stars. But we appreciate Dino over
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: in third base. Hey, maybe holding ta Oscar Hernandez yesterday
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: a little early, maybe trying to throw up a couple
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: more stop signs Dino into the family. I like what
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: he was doing yesterday. And again it's all it's a
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: dose of perspective. Brewers went three out of four from
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers, and look who's struggling for the Dodgers. And
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: look at think think back to the winner and the
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Dodgers got him to this sucks. Kyle Tucker went to
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers, Edwin Diaz went to the Dodgers. What more?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: They just take everybody and those guys now suck getting.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Both got booed off the field this week and it's amazing.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, does it?
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Does it make anybody else happy? When Kyle Tucker struggles.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know what exactly about him in the but
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I've really enjoyed that.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I really enjoy rooting against Houston for brighter pastures, right,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: And he probably should have stayed in Houston and been
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: happy there.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: He's an easily dislikable figure.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: He is quite quite Quinn.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, just I was gonna mention quick game ball
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: to the voice of the Packers, Wayne Larvie, who will
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: be joining us A seven twenty five. Can't wait talk
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: to Wayne.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be amazing, all right, that is good news,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: good news right now. Keep the game balls and kicks coming.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, huddled up
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: on a Monday, Drew Billion arm and bringing it to
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you game balls and kicks to the balls eight seven, seven, seven,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: nineven to three. Let's get it about a game ball
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: and this will surprise you. Game ball.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Kishawn Nixon, somebody had to come on. Let me hear
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: why Kishan?
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: You know, I think he knew he's aware the guys
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: can say they're not aware of what's going on, but
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: you know, the social media churn and the guys on
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the beat been writing about it. He's got to compete
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: for a starting job and all that. And then apparently
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: he walked towards the locker and saw the vulture circling
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and said, well, you all creeping for let's get it
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: like and he went right into it and said damn well.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: He said, I feel like I'm being punished, and then
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: went on to say it doesn't matter. I'm gonna find
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: my way on the field. Play me with the two's,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: play me with the threes. I don't care. I'm just
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: out here trying to get better and blah blah. So
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: he said all the right things, but what everybody glombed
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: on to was I feel like I'm being punished, and
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: people are like, yeah, because you don't tackle.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: That would be one that would be a reason. And
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: that's basically you know, I wonder if he meant it
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: more like I feel like I'm being picked on, like
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: in a way, because like a little bit, but there
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: was a whole thing. There's a thing with like, Okay,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: are you guys just looking for something now? In the
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: film of me doing everything, like, am I the one
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: that's got the bulls eye on me? And look, that
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: comes with the territory. Though, if you're gonna say things
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: like I'm the cornerback one, I want to be the guy,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: that means you have an important role in the team,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: which means you will have a spotlight on you more,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: you know, So I wonder if that's what he meant
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: more And maybe that's partly true. It's like if you
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: if you're a guy that holds a lot, okay, reps
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: are gonna look for you more to hold and then
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: like like what's the catch twenty two? It's you know
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: what feeds into the other. You get to try and
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: overcome that so well.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: And that's where he I understand the feeling like you're
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: being punihed because he is coming off at now listen,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: this means a little different.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: It is a Pro Bowl season.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: I means something different, right, But he has played a
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: ton of football for them. What do you have, like
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: almost a thousand snaps a year ago, and when you
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: join on a minimum salary, when you first get there
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: and then work yourself into one of the main starters,
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: you have some feeling and pride into the way that
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: he had played. And and I think there's there's obvious
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: holes in his game, no doubt about it. There's holes
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: in every player's game. His might be a little more
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: glaring when it feels like some of it is effort related,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: right like now. I also everybody can look at a
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: different video and say and see a different thing, like
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: the one that gets isolated on on Thursday Night.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: That's gonna be a That's gonna be a tough play.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: When you got somebody of your own colors, your own team,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: jumping into your legs and diving in front of you,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: that's gonna be a tough play. The one in Chicago
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: where you're gonna jump out of the way of a score,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: that's an easy one to be able to lamb too.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: But the the other part of it is he he
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: looks around.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: I thought the rest of what he had said was
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: was pretty well stated, like when he had mentioned uh
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: and Jason Wilde kind of encapsulated it well and talked
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: about he's like, you know, a lash out of coaches.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: He didn't complain and moan, He didn't really complain. He
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: just knows that he's going to compete for a job.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: If you're in the NFL and you're going into your
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: age thirty year as a corner and you don't have
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: any guaranteed money, that was already understood. But once it
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: gets thrown into your face and shoved into your face
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: of Benjamin Saint just going in front of you in
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: the ones, it probably becomes a little bit more real.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Now you've got to see how he responds, and I
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: think in practice, Drew he has responded decently well. I
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: think he's played. He's played al right, he's played well.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Has he been the greatest corner that you've ever seen? No,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: But if you're anticipating this guy to be prime drel Revis, Yeah,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: then let's go watch somebody else.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: That's that's the case, and you made the case last week.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: It's like he didn't annoyed himself the number one corner.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: The Packers handed him the job, the team did, Yeah,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: and he made a Pro Bowl. As such as it is,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I think it's yeah, played all played throughout the year
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: they handed him, they signed him to, you know, the
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: number one role. You can say, well they should be
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: better there, okay, but you know it is what it is.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: They gave him the gig. They can also take it away, yes,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: very much, very quickly. But it's yeah, it's fascinating. I mean,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: and he has been a lightning rod because of the tackling,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: because people don't think he's in it's like a starting
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: pitcher that people don't think. He's an ace Freddy Peralta.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: He's their best picture, he's their opening day picture. He's
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: the guy that would start game one. But he's not
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: an A's kind of that's Keyshawn Nixon's their number one corner.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: But he's not a number one corner. Yeah, he's not
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: a shutdown number one corner. Again, he's not pat certain. No,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: he's not a guy you game plan to avoid. Right,
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: So and he did and he what did he give
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: up last year? I mean his you know, the passer
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: rating against him was pretty high.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I know, well the best, right.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: But he's also going to get a decent they're they're
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: gonna have a decent amount. But like for where you
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: rank him in all of football, like Pro Football Focus
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: had him ranked as the forty first cornerback of all
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: one hundred and fourteen corners. That's still above average right now.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was where you want him to be
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: if he's your number one, sure, no, absolutely nice.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: He's above average, So he's.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Above average, and he had plenty of touchdowns, caught him,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: no doubt about it. I know he had a mistackle percentage,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: but he was still their best corner, and when you
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: look at it right now, he's still probably their second
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: best corner behind Brandon Sis. We'll see if Benjamin Saint
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Juice for the rest of his career goes. But this
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: is the devil, you know, in the devil you don't know.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of folks that have never watched Benjamin
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Saint Juice's sizzle reel from when he was playing with
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: the Washington Commanders and playing all the time.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: You might want to watch Keyshot Nixon's.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Then if you watch him play at corner, it's gonna
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: be tough to see because Saint Juice, Oh, I'm saying
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: he had some rough years. I mean, Saint Juice had
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: some rough years as a number one in a starting corner.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: So be careful what you wish for, because all of
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: a sudden, Devin Witherspoon isn't walking out there door.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Every corner gets torched. Every every corner can look bad
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: on a tackle play. But with Keishawan, it is consistently
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the tackling right, and that's what they're trying to To me,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: it's like, that's what they're doing. It's trying to motivate
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: them get better, better in supporting the run game. But
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: wants that wants guys that will come up. And it
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: looks like c says one of those dudes.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: One of the reasons they picked him.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, his tackle percentage and Wayne mentioned it during the
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: draft show, is mentioned on Training Camp Live. His his
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: tackle percentage UH in college was some of the best
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: in college football. And I think that was exactly why
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: brought into what That's what the that's what they're looking for.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: So again, I mean, but players are who they are,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and the idea that a guy who's going to to
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: this age thirty season entering freegency is going to change
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: his you know, he wants to get a bunch of picks.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: He wants to make some flashy, shutdown plays to make
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: a statement and get paid. Right. So it's I'm not
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: shocked at all that he's not pouting and he's not
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: gonna do anything to jeopardize anything but try to get
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: on the field and make as many plays as he
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: can't to get paid.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I think this should be his most productive year. Probably.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: He's probably more worried about when the lights come on,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: and because it's hard for me to get too worried
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: because it was a preseason game, and I know how
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: we look at it.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: A week one, he's gonna be trailing around Jefferson.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: That's that's when it's important. Like that's when character Like
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: we're talking about this the last few days because that's
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: what we've had to go on. But it's still preseason.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: It really doesn't matter. And I don't as much as
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: people want to say it does. Everyone knows it doesn't.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: And and it does for some guys, but maybe never
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: and and I'm sure players it's heapsenting them into them.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna try and get hurt in the preseason game.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens when the lights come on.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: That's when that's when we have to worry about it.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I'vebout a game ball the Tucker Craft for his return
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: full fledged. Right, he's back, Jake Rakes, he's back doing
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: eleven on eleven stuff without a contract.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: I was I didn't think Drew that he would hit
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: the practice field outside and come off of pup without
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: a contract.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Definitely think he wouldn't.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: I definitely didn't play on him returning two team periods
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: full padded running before preseason games are over out.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: A contract and there he is. Yeah, gotta admire it.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: You do, and you gotta know that it's going to
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: happen here sooner rather than later. But I also loved
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: the way he had mentioned it yesterday. He's like, Yeah,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I think people that watched the games and like fans
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: and everybody on the team, they understand.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Everybody in the organization knows.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Every fan knows that we're a different team when I'm
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: out on the field. I think that's pretty obvious without
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: sounding arrogant, not arrogant, factual that that is true because
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: everybody watching last year and now that people are rolling
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: through their NFC previews. I heard Chris Long do his
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: on the Packers in the NFC North yesterday. It's like,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: if you watched their games pre and post Tucker craft injury,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: it was a completely different offense because of just how
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: reliant in the run game and the pass game they
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: were on how dominant he can be, whether in the
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: run game at the point of attack, paring him against
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: that with Zach tom formerly he's Zach Bacabawelli coming up
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: this year. That was their only path to really being
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: able to run any outside zone. In the past game,
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: he was your greatest equalizer. And if that's gonna be
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: the case again this year, he's ready to seems like
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: he'd be ready to roll coming up week one. Everything
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: that he said that he had planned on doing eight
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: seven seven seven three game balls and kicks the balls.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: That's the Nicola lotta Com'm talking text on where you
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: can send them. Also send them on the Facebook comics,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I mean the streaming contents, comments, YouTube and stuff. Can
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I kick to the balls? And I hate to do
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: it because it's so it's it's so easy to do
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: every time. Kick to the balls, arman.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: I hope it doesn't, you know, come back to buy this.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't come back about his people who
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: You can't have it both ways. You can't pine and
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: bitch and say the burers don't get any respect nationally.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Then when they play a national TV game, bitch about
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: how the announcers favor the other side. Ah, that's fair, yes,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: because they really don't. They don't really. I mean John
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Smolts was not tearing down miss.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: He's not jumped on that comment about the strike out.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like John Smoltz is you can say
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: he's a clown on it for all teams, he's equal opportunity.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, and I don't know what it
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: is about that chair because back in the day, Joe
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Joe Morgan, when he had that chair, I mean, there
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: was a whole blog, a whole industry. The fire Joe
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Morgan was a blog of like it started with stupid
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: stuff he said. Then it's fun into stupid stuff that
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: everybody in the sports media said.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: And it's like Joe moment, like he's taking a shot
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: at my childhood saying anything bad about Joe Morgan.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Sunny mister anti analytics and everything.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: McCarver will go after guys. We love that real man,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: but you're a real mande.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: And you got to say, like Joe Davis, he went
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: to Beloit, right, he's a yeah, he come on now,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: he was a buccaneer. But it's they're not. And I
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: say that's about the same thing with the football guys.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: They're not anti packers. You're just hearing it that way
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: because everything you're hyper, you're hyper focused on it. It's
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: just they're not.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: I didn't notice the Joe, the Joe Davis frustration on
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: the home run until like I heard, like the ISO
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: caught up or whatever. Then I went online because I
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: wanted to get across referenced, right, you know, verify it. Yeah,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: we're gonna be journalists on this show, Drew, we got it.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: We gotta do something examining exactly. And I saw all
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: these Dodger fans being like, yeah, how about Brian Anderson's
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: calling ta oskar and Anders's home run to take the
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: leading Game two A the nlcs Y last year. Okay,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: It's almost like these guys are human like that if
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: you do follow a team for six or seven months
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: of the year, that there might be something to it. Also,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: I think that's cool, Like that part of it I
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: enjoy even more. Joe Buckett said it, and I don't
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: know if it was in an interview or he got
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: right up about something. Mike Breen called the NBA Finals
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: this year. He has called Knicks games for forty years.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Grew up in New York, grew up a Knicks fan,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: and you would not know the way he called that finals,
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: and I wonder if there were some Knicks fans that
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: wanted to hear a little bit more from.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Their guysault about it. I'm a dude in them.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: In Flyover Country that also kind of wanted him to
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: write because, like, I like that personality of it. I
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: like when it comes out that way. I didn't see
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: any issue with it. But I'm also really really Joe
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Davis positive. I think he's one of the best broadcasters
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: we have football and baseball, and I love any time
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: that he's on the soundtrack.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: The John Schmoltz one, I just Schmeltz. I love that.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: I didn't think he was. I didn't think he was.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: I didn't think he was taking a shot at miss.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: I just thought it was the dumbest thing I've ever heard,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: well exactly that. All the time, I was trying to
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: figure it out. Wait, so it is bad to strike
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: out for it.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't think it was personal idea, but but
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I could see why Brewis fans thought that. But I agree, Billy.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: I just didn't like the take of Schmoltz eating some smelt.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: But my thing is this, where was the origin story
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: for Smoltz and Brewers fans. I think it was when
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Counsel flipped the lineup around with that Wade My League
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: opener start. He was very upset about it, and he
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: was so mad about it. He took it personally, I thought.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: And that's the time when I was like, well, like
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: John Smolts, what are you doing here? What do you say?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Like you you should understand the strategy at least if
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: you don't like it, like what the Brewers have to do.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: And I think for some Brewers fans they think that
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: that's always in the back of the mind for Smoltz.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Even if it's not, it's in the back of the
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: mind for Brewers fans to think he's got it out
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: for us.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: That was when they took Binley out after the one
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: and the one to flip the line up around, flipping around, Okay,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: I liked it hilarious, and I remember him going, what's
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: going on here? This is crazy? Like, well, I don't
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: find that actly. He's yeah, so real man dance anytime.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: And fans, you know who John Smoltz is tight with
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: and who he sees all the time and plays golf with.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: B A. Yes, I was gonna say they're Boys're gon.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: He is not hating on the Brewers. He's not. It
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: just he's you might say dumb things. I was gonna say,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: he's equal opportunity when it comes to saying dumb things.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: To me.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's a great analyst at all.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: He's a great pace. It's hard for analyst. It's hard
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: for fans when you watch your local broadcast and they're
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: doing it just like you and their fans and there,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: and then you see the national broadcast and it's not
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: the same feel. It's hard to adjust to that for
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: some fans.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: I agree, all right, game balls and kicks, keep them coming.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: It's halftime of the huddle. We're past half time. Do
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: we pass it all the huddle? I'm Wayne Larvy at
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: seven twenty five. You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin confrontation.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Tim Mccarver're confronted saying.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Right right now, I got some real man.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: You know that you are a real man.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: And I'll say that like every one of these guys
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: comes in here and and we this is a violent
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: sport and we risk life and limb. You know, guys,
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: guys have to medically retire from they banging heads, they
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: got messed up next backs. You know, how many times
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: can you blow an e? You know, guys, guys keep
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: fighting and calling to come back into this locker room.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: And that's the that's the reason I do it. You know,
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: there's other attributes. I want to leave a legacy on
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: this sport as a whole. You know, I want I
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: want my my children to see the lengths I would
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: go to to fight for something I love. And I
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: think I have it right here in the g.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Right here in the g.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Arman, sorry presiding over that clip.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: And that's just six to midnight for Packers.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Like you see somebody hears somebody representing and
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: loving your favorite football team the same way you do.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Tucker Craft seems to embody that.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: But also, man, you learned this a lot, Drew, And
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: we get to talk to and hear from athletes all
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: the time and watch this stuff that like, when it's
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: taken away from these athletes, it means so much more
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: to get back on the field. Watching how he played
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: coming into the NFL, I'm nervous for people that are
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: gonna line up against him with that type of chip
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: on his shoulder and that kind of reference for football again,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: that's that's a different level of attitude and excitement.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's game balls that kicks with the balls Monday
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: hit us up eight seven seven three. This portion of

• 35:16
  Speaker 1: in that game ball to the late Tommy John, Jake Rakes,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Tommy John Man oh Man, Yeah, talk about impactful. The
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: first guy to undergo that career saving, career rejuvenating surgery
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: surgical procedure that Frank Job, doctor Frank Job pioneered where
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: they transplant the ligament and redo and redo your elbow.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: That ulner collateral ligament transplant Tommy John surgery, which so
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: many thousands of pictures have gone undergone now and it's
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: still like they've shaved time off. But it's still like
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: a year in the wilderness, a year of oh for sure,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: boring exercises and trying to get.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: You know, back, and yeah, people look at his maintenance.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: But it's not Billy No.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: And I mean like I had, I had obviously pieced
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: the name together and understood it. But you look at
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: the Baseball Reference page of Tommy John and maybe the
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: most impressive thing I've ever seen.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: He had it after missing that yeary.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: He pitched like thirteen or fourteen years after that.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: It's unreal.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Miss is seventy five and pitches until nineteen eighty nine.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: And you could argue his best years were right now,
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: some of his really best years.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, those Yankee years and then.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Obvious eighty eight wins. Like a lot of folks said
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: he should have made the Hall of Fame just because
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: he was the first guy and they named the surgery
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: after him. That is one of the biggest surgeries in baseball.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: But pitchers survive what would have been career ending injuries
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: the generation previous.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: But to your point, you're right, people remember the surgery
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: because of the name, but he had a great career
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: without that. I mean they should remember the player. Yeah,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: two hundred eight eight wins, he had a sixty one war.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: I mean a lot of guys are in the Hall
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: of Fame with numbers like this. Brewers faced him twice
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: in the ALCS in eighty two. So, uh, he pitched,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: he was forty six. So he had an amazing career,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: amazing player. And you know, obviously you always talk about
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: can you tell this story of this the league without
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: this guy? Well he's definitely one guy. Yeah, you can
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: never tell the story of baseball without he changed it. Now,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: maybe you know he being the patient not the surgeon.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: But the reality is obviously that was a big one.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: But we think, like I said, yeah, we think about
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: the surgery, and that's how he's remembered. He should be
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: remembered also for a great career. Rest in peace, Tommy John.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Great play, a great picture, and I'm glad he beat
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: you in Game four and eighty two.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Well now it almost feels like now it almost feels
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: like you're fixed, like pictures are fixed. Now they say,
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: if all of a sudden you get, you get the
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: surgery and instead, Uh, it was just a mind melter
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: for modern science at that point of how do you
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: keep somebody from having this injury? And that's where like
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: as the mizz is throwing on Saturday, and immediately when
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: people watch him throw that hard with that velocity, well
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: he's got Make sure it doesn't get hurt. Make sure
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: it didn't get hurt. What picture doesn't have some kind
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: of injury, right, What athlete doesn't get hurt at some
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: particular point in time. Now, many are much more catastrophic
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: than others. But you look at like an acl in
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: the NFL to what that looked like twenty years ago before.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, Adrian Peterson came back in a number in
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: whatever it was eight months and won the MVP. You're
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: starting to see like achilles tears looking more like that.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: I'm just reading a story right now about Wisconsin's own
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: George Kittle, who is trying to come back in week
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: one from blowing his achilles out in the wild card
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: round wild Well, that would be nine months from when
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: he popped his in Philadelphia and got himself back onto
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: the field. That used to be what potentially almost a
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: year and a half two year injury. This one, like
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: you said, Drid, it's still wandering around in the ABYSS
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: for eight to nine months. But they have even different
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: versions where if you're a position player, you can go
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: out and play rather soon, like we saw with Otani hidden.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: That's right, keep the game, balls and kicks of the
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: balls coming. The other question that I popped into my
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: brain this week, and it's a lot of ballgame left,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: but that game that mis pitched and the way he
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: you know, the way he handled Otanian Freeman in big situations,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: he may have wrapped up the SiO.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: That's gonna be a hard one to beat. Yep, I
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: would be with you.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: On that one, on that stage against that team. He
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: was trending that way away. And now I think guys
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: just like they'll still watch it. But I think most
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: of the voting populous. Whatever the thirty two guys are
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: is gonna they're gonna be like, yeah, he's the guy,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: is it.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of moments that are involved with it, right,
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Like I think of that with the Heisman voting and
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: with the MVP, Like you gotta have some moments, some
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: callback shots. For Mendoza this year, it was that drive
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: against Iowa where he throws the touchdown Penn State. That drive,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: what's gonna be on the sizzle reel when they do
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: the celebration video him pumping his fist after striking out
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Otani and Freeman might be the first one.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: The uh, that one game when he pitched and he
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: was struck out seven of the first nine or whatever,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: and like it was ridiculous.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: The Phillies fifteen strikeout him with the hands up in
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: the air.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: That'll be the culmination of the video. I think it's
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: trending that way at this point. I don't see how
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: he cannot win it.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: At the Pottawatami Sportsbook, he was minus five hundred last
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: week to win the cy Young or minus four to
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: thirty five, I should say, to win the sy Young,
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: he's not minus a thousand. That means you got to
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: put up one hundred bucks if you want to walk
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: away after they announced the victory for you to profit
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: a whopping ten dollars. Oh, so they're pretty much locked in. Well,
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Jacob Zerowski is gonna be getting that award. A win's
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: a win, all right.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Carmin's catching flocking it in a.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: Pair of the Brewers to win the division and Brewers
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: to win the divisions minus seven fifty or seven to fifteen.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Oh you can't combine though. Sorry, I got I thought
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: I thought I was gonna crack the code for it.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: I'll find some more for you, don't. You'll find some
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: juice for us to get some minus the favorites in there, Lockridge,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: no home run. It's gotta be it like minus three
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: thousand somewhere.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Loving it, loving it well, keep the game balls and kicks,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: the balls coming. You're gonn to hear from Wayne Levy,
