  Speaker 1: Hold up on a Monday in the good land, Drew
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Billion-Armond bringing it to you as we do. Welcome in,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: 7 o'clock clubbers. The water is fine. We are basking
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: in the glow of a, it's the victory Monday of
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: all victory Mondays. Badgers win. Badgers volleyball won, we've been
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: informed as people told us.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, Badgers women's hockey raised their banner and won two games.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely. So the Badgers beat Michigan State. The Brewers
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: win a pair of games in electrifying fashion. Roofgate has
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: already been replaced because of the ninth inning yesterday and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Jackson Churrio's walk-off hit. Packers won a game. We'll talk
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to Wayne Larrabee in about 25 minutes from right now. Winsconsin, baby. Winsconsin.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah. Don't forget about the Admirals, though. Incredible. Oh,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Admirals start up their season with a win. Yes. Admirals,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: not only do they start their season with a win,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: they welcome back Jeff Orlowski, the Polish pipe.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Bomb back in the fold. That's the biggest win there is.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Pipe bomb was behind the board for the game. He
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: is back on the team.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: So you're telling me pipe bomb was in this building
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: on Saturday night when I came back here from Cam
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Randall and I missed him?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: You missed him. Apparently.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Son of a.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, he was. He made his travel return to the board.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Polish Pipe Bomb is back. And to the airway for
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the Admirals. That is awesome. That's one of the greatest moments.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: That's the best win of the weekend. That was the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: biggest breaking news we've had around here in like a week,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: in several weeks, because El Jefe broke that news on Wednesday.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: You guys were off, and it was me and Hunter
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and Dobie, and we talked to El Jefe, his first
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: visit of the season with us, And we mentioned, yeah,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the games, Aaron Sims is back and Jeff Orlowski is back.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: We're excited to have him back. Like he broke the news.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Let's go. Yes.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: The bomb squad is back, but, and as it is,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you know, we got to follow that up with, I
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: hate to say a major announcement. It's only major. If
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: you think it's major, we have an announcement of some
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: significance to lay on you. And it strikes me that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: we're just under, inside of four weeks from now, everybody's
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: going to adjust their clock because the Daylight Saving Time
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: hits that after Halloween, into November 1st. Yep, that November 1st.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: So in four weeks, you're going to have to adjust
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: your clocks, your alarm clocks, your home clocks, and your
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: body clocks a little bit. Well, we're going to get
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a jump on that. Very much so. A definite flip.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: One week from today, the huddle as you know it
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: existing between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m., will cease to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: exist in that window. We are moving on up to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the east side. One week from today, we will become
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: an afternoon program. The huddle will take place between 2
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and 5 p.m. every week. Let's go.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Very difficult news for the insomniacs and sociopaths outside of
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the health club waiting there.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: And the 5 o'clock club, we are emotional to say
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: goodbye to you. We're emotional to say goodbye to the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: 5 o'clock club, but there will be a show at
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: 5 o'clock behind us, generally held by Hunter Baumgart when
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: he's done with baseball and stuff, and we'll patch that together.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: But we are going to air from 2 to 5 p.m.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: one week from today, which means we can stay up
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: late again and watch the end of games, and we
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: will miss it. I've actually adjusted to it. I don't
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: mind it. I don't hate getting up anymore. I like
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: being done early in the morning.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Now, you've gone– this is the flip right back to
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the normal spot for you.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's where I was until January. Yeah, you're an
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: afternoon drive guy.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a heck of an adjustment. It's
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: going to be a flip. But 2 to 5 starting
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: on one week from today on Monday– Day after the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Packers beat the Chicago Bears and moved to 3-2, hopefully.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Come on now.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Hopefully the Brewers win game one of the NLCS.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And we will be, you will hear us between 2
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and 5. Same channels, same everywhere. YouTube, Facebook, X, we'll
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: be doing the same thing.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: But we're moving. And it's good for us because, you know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: We'll do a show whenever they tell us. We have
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: done it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: If you want us to go from 2 a.m. to
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: 5 a.m., we would do that. We'll show up because
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: we like doing this. That's my slot right there. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: will say it was a bit of a tester. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the Packers have a lot of primetime games. And it
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: was a bit of a tester when they played the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Thursday night against the Falcons. And we were up there
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: on the air until 1 a.m. and back at it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: At 5 a.m. here with a little drive for me
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: and Billy, a little drive back from Lambeau.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: It was a tight turn for you guys. It was
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a tight turn. But the bosses have decided and decreed,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and we're on board with it. Just tell us when
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to show up, but we will be doing this show
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: from 2 to 5. We're an afternoon show. So this
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: is our victory lap. Our farewell to mornings is this week.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And, uh, you know, October 12th in this, uh, in
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: this building is a fateful day that a lot of
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: us will remember quite, uh, quite negatively for quite some time.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: That is a, that is a, that is a day
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: in the calendar.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: It's a hell of a full circle moment for, for
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: all of us. Uh, the, the last year has been
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: about as turbulent as you could have, uh, in a
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: lot of different workspaces.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Ours is. No different than that.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And Drew, you said it, for the bosses to plan, think,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: care this much, want to, and feel it in not
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: only the company's best interest for us to continue on
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to roll, but also to move us to a spot
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: where they believe that we can get out, get more publicity, notoriety,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: opportunity to be engaged with fans. The Thursday night huddle,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you mentioned the test driver that the preseason game and
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the night games were. Us being active and the response
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that we've already gotten being up in the daylight hours
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and for the Thursday night huddle has been impressive enough.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: So we really, really thank everybody for being able to.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: care and listen and be around with us for as
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: long as we've gone through some turbulent waters to the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: point now where it feels like it could be a
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: little bit of growth spot.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Indeed.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: You, the listeners have sustained us. You've been the wind
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: beneath our wings, the fans throughout this situation. Billy's talking
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: about the last year. It's so true.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: It is kind of ironic that it's that same date.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: We don't want to complain, too. We're still doing what
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: we love. But it was something that was unusual, but
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: now hopefully bigger and brighter things as we move to
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the afternoons. Although, you never get used to this time slot.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: People keep asking, do you get used to getting up
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: that early?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: You never get used to it. You learn to manage it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: I think we all kind of were getting in that groove.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And I think there's pros and cons.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: The cons are, now I can't pretend I'm a blue-collar guy.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: All the time getting up that early.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, that used to be that fake hustle all
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: the time. You know, I can have that in the
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: back of my mind. Hey, what time do you guys
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: get up for work? You know, we're done with our
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: day when you start, you know, that whole thing. But
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: very excited, very happy to be going to afternoons with
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: you guys because we can be part of the community more.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: We can get out and meet listeners more. We can
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: be part of that conversation.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: That is a big part of it is that we're
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: available for remote broadcasts with listeners around. It won't change
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the Thursday night huddle. We'll just start at Pato earlier. Yes.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: That's TBA, whether it'll be from 3 to 7, but
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: we'll be there in our normal spot from 5 to 7,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: but we'll be there longer. Tough work, William. We're going
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to be there longer. Son of a gun. Oh, no.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Darn.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. Sorry, honey.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: No.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Sorry.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I got to get there earlier. It's going to be rough. But, yeah,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: it is. It's a little bittersweet. I mean, I like
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that we're moving into the afternoons for that reason. And
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I do selfishly be able to attend games and be
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: able to stay up and not have that push-pull of,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: all right, do I nap to go out? Like this week,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: obviously like this week, the Brewers are playing tomorrow night.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: And what is the 8.30 first pitch? Yes, 8.30 first
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: pitch tomorrow. 8.30 or 8.38 first pitch. And so that's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: going to be a tester for you boys, right? That's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: going to be tough. You know, Sunday night football, Monday
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: night football, Thursday night football. It's hard for us to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: stay up and watch those games. You end up. you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: catching up. Thank God for the technology and condensed games
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and stuff, able to watch it and catch up. But
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: so life-wise, it is, you know, better. But I like,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: especially in the summer, I like to have mornings off
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: in the summer. And I spent a lot of time
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: at the pool this year. Oh, for sure. We're going
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to be working in the middle of the day. And
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: so it is a trade-off and we will miss. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: we created the five o'clock club and shout out. That
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: was a suggestion by our buddy, Dobie Maxwell.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Who say, yeah, make it special for those people who
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: are up that first hour, because you guys are there,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and they're there, and you're in it together, and we
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: will miss the 5 o'clock club.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Because that was our most, I don't want to say
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: most special, but that was the most unique group of listeners,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: and you guys proved to us that you're out there,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: and you showed up big time.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I will say that that was eye-opening for me. Yeah,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: me too. You guys were doing mornings a little bit too,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: and I was stunned at how many people are up
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and around and functioning at 5 a.m. I had no
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: idea that world existed. Most of my adult life has
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: been in the sports industry, and I've been at games,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and I've been late, and I've basically been kind of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: a second shift worker. Now we've switched to where we
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: were almost third shift. We're like two and a half
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to be where we were, and we were done. And
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I was driving in rush hour, driving home in rush
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: hour at eight in the morning. So that was a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: bit of a trip. Yeah. I, I, I will say
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I got used to it. You never really like Armin.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: You're right. You don't really love it, but I adapted
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to it and it had its benefits, but this is
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: going to be good for everybody and it's good for us.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And if you own a company, you want us to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: broadcast from your place of business, we're more than happy
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to do it. And that's a big part of it
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: is that we're going to be able to be out
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: in the community and do stuff. And let's say there's
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a game, you know, at the Brewers are playing, uh, uh,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the Brewers are playing a game on a Tuesday night
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta. And the game starts at 6 our time. Well,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: we'll get you ready. We'll be at a bar eating
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: wings and getting you ready, and we'll be able to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: do the kind of pregame parties on a regular basis.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, and we're getting a lot of people, like our
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: friend Mike Witt said, listening to you guys every morning
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: when I'm driving home from work. Since I'm a third shifter,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to miss you guys, but I completely understand.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: The nice thing is the power of technology. Like our
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: friend Paul said, I got a bunch of different shows
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: during that time slot, but I'll be listening to you
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: on the podcast later. Luckily, if you listen to us
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: in the morning, you can still listen to our show
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: from the day of. That's a thing. Listening on YouTube,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: going right back in. Podcasting and technology makes it luckily
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: that Time slot shows are, it's just when you actually
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: do the show.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Luckily, they are shows, right?
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: So it just continues on and will live. And luckily,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: you can listen and consume it, hopefully, whenever you want.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: But we do understand that this is an adjustment for everybody.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: But there's a lot of people that are going back
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: and forth. I like this one from Eddie and Stalas, though.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the happy hour huddle is a good spot to land.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: That's a great one.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: That's a great tag for us to be hanging out,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: that it could be a lot of different happy hours
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: throughout the summer.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe some patios. No, Sam, we're not kicking you out
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of the 5 o'clock club. The club will always exist, Sam.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: It will always be there. The club, the 5 o'clock club,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: will be in full force on Thursdays at Pottawatomie. That's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a great point. In the fall here. So, yeah, it's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit bittersweet. I know some people are going
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to be disappointed. People don't like change. I mean, we
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: changed and we took– Entered this slot in late January,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and here we've been doing it, and we've adjusted to it,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and we've built an audience. We hope everybody will come
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: with us. And like Billy said, you can consume the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: shows nowadays anytime. Whenever you want. Podcast it when you're
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: walking the dog. You can do it on your schedule.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: But for us and for the radio station, now a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: lot of folks are asking what's going to air in
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the mornings. Well, stay tuned on that front. That's all
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: we can say. Stay tuned on that front. And then,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: like we said, between 5 and 6, there will be something.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: going on between 5 and 6. It might be, for
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a while, it might be a replay of the 2
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: o'clock hour of our programming. It might be, you know,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Hunter's tied up in baseball right now, but sources close
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to my situation say there's a really good chance that
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Hunter might be helming that hour of the, manning that
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: hour for us. You know, Doug Russell's in the mix here.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: He's got other stuff. Admirals have starts where there will
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: be something behind us as well, but our show will
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: air from 2 to 5 beginning next week, which is
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: after the Bears start Packers game after we hope Brewers
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: in game one of the NLCS. So we're looking for it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And it's going to be better for us in a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: lot of ways. Much better. Yes. And here's a little insight. We'll,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: we'll lift up the skirt a little bit, like the skirt,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: lifting up the skirt. Wayne Larrabee is going to join
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: us at seven 25 in this time slot. That's the,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: John Greenberg joined us at 725. All of our, those
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: guys are coming with us, right? And Rock is coming
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: with us. But it's asking a lot for people to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: get up at 725 after they worked at night or
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: if they, you know.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And that was our one spot really to get guests
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: because we didn't really want to ask and impose on
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: people to get up. Hey, you want to join us?
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Are you free at 530 a.m.? It's a bring you
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: great guests. We can get more guests and a better
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: slate of guests in this time slot. We can do
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: more remote broadcasts. We can sleep in. We can go
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to games. We can be out and go to bars
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and restaurants and wherever you want us to be between
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: 2 and 5. So we look at this as positive.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: We're looking forward to it, and I kind of will
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: miss the 5 o'clock level.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and a couple of important ones to get to
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: that are hitting us up on the talking text line.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Steven Madison, will this new time slot air on 1070
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: in Madison?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, Steve.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: We are on 1070 in Madison, 2 to 5. So
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: that means we'll also, as you said, lead into sometimes
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Admirals hockey in Madison, sometimes Badgers women's hockey we'll lead
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: into as well.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: That'll be the tie-in.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Marks in Iowa, goodbye 5 o'clock, hello 2 o'clock happy hour.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: That's how you look at it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: And like Maggie in Georgia said, I'm sad that we're
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: going to lose Dolph.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Bummer.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: But now maybe Shanna will be joining us once again.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Shanna Quinn. Always nice to have Shanna Quinn joining the show.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: That's confirmed. That is beautiful. Her reply to my text
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: was basically LFG.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: And she's got a sweet new podcast that we got
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: to talk about as well.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: The player to be named later will be Shanna Quinn
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: because Dolph won't be able to join us because he'll
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: be taking naps and going about his day. But we
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: will have Shanna join us on a regular basis.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: And I do appreciate, like Brian and Madison said, I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: thought the announcement was one of you guys was leaving
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I'm happy it's good news. We're glad that it's very
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: much good news. We'll do the show whenever they tell
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: us to. We just appreciate that we're going to be
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: on from 2 to 5. 2 to 6 now local.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: There is that piece. We're buying an extra hour of
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: local programming into this deal as well.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: And we know for some of you, the schedule changed
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: and it was better this, so you're going to miss
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: us in the morning.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: We wish we could be on for you all day, guys.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: So sorry. It's one of those.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: That's the bummer side. I don't know that we would
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: be good for 24 hours, though.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: No, but we'd be there.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we wouldn't be good.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we'd be good at that point.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: But like Billy said, and it's become a popular thing,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: YouTube's always there, very easy to listen back to shows.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: We see a lot of people doing it, and obviously
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: the podcast as well. So the ones that can't join
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: us in the afternoon because of your schedule will miss you,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: but we're always there for you in different ways.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: If that makes sense. Absolutely. So that is our announcement. Again,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: it's significant to us and our families. Significant if you're
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: a hardcore listener. Is it a major news? No, I
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: always get when people say major announcement, then they underwhelm.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: It's an announcement of some significance. It's going to change
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: for us. So beginning October 12th, the huddle will convene
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: at 2 p.m. on these here airwaves and interwebs. We're
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: going to go from 2 to 5.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Thanks for indulging us. We got a lot more to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: work through. We're going to have our current electric superhero
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: of the day coming up. This portion of the program
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: today has been brought to you by Game Day Men's Health.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Check them out online, gamedaymenshealth.com. See how they are changing
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: lives for men nationwide. I'm headed there right after the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: show to see my friends in Brookfield. So gamedaymenshealth.com. Wayne
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Larravee joins us in about 15 minutes. You're in the huddle,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Huddled up on a Monday, Drew
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Billion-Armond bringing it to you. 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison. Just
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: if you missed it, our announcement was that this is
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: our last Monday in this time slot. A week from today,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: we will move the show 2 o'clock p.m. to 5
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: o'clock p.m. From the 5 o'clock club to the happy
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: hour club. That's right. Thanks for hanging out. It's going
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to be a blast. 877-794-1973. Is this Jamie and Reedsburg
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: on line one?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Jamie and Reedsburg, welcome to the huddle.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: Hey, guys. I just want to say I am so
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: happy that there's going to be local radio on doing
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: sports on 1070 in Madison from 2 to 5 or
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: in the afternoon. I enjoy listening to you guys every
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: morning when I go to work, but I also enjoy
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: listening to local radio. You guys are on my way
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: home from work, so I'm excited. Thank you. I'm happy
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: for you guys.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Jamie. Thank you very much. We're excited, too. Again,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: we're going to miss this, and we built a little
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: core here. I hope people will come with us. We
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: understand if this is your availability. Like Janie and Appleton.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Her husband's going to be able to listen to us now,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: but it's a trade.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Well, and the tough thing is, Drew, there's different ways
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: of it, right? Jamie said on the way to work
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: is a good one, but there's a tone and a
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: tenor that are a little bit different. We're going to
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: keep doing the same show, but then you get to
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: maybe smile a little bit more because you don't have
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: the eight-hour day staring down the barrel and you only
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: get us for 15 minutes. Then you can maybe hang
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: out in the car for an extra 10 minutes if we're,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know, chopping it up with Wayne Larrabee or
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: One of our other guests, maybe our wake and bake
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: story of the day hits a 20 after four time again.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Who knows? I would say there's a good chance of
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: that coming back. Pretty good chance of that happening. We'll
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: shift some things up and we'll freshen it up because
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: we started this little program of ours in January and
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I think it's time to freshen some things up. We'll
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: have a new show open for those people who are complaining,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I'm sick of that open. We'll change things up a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: little bit. We'll spice it up a little bit. We'll
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: have some different ones. Yeah, we'll let you guys cut
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the open. I'm just kidding. You are so not kidding.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God, was he mad.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I do like doing them.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: And the other thing is, I'll have more time now
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: to do production before the show.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: The chalice of tears.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Because it is harder to do it unless you get
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: up at like, you know, three in the morning.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: And so it's on balance. It's going to be a
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: good move for us, as we say. So yeah, hit
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: us up.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: 877-794-1973.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Our current electric superhero of the day. I mean, Evan
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Williams had a good day for the Packers, and Colton
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Joseph had a pretty good day for the Packers. Come on,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: there's one hero.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: There's one superhero of the day. Give us Adam Amin's
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: call again, would you? Just give me a second to
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: rack it up.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because the superhero of the day today. And you
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: wanted to be the superhero of the day. I'm clearly
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: not Jackson Terrell. Kern Electric, shut up and find the highlight,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: will you? Current Electric, callcurrent.com is our sponsor for this.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: And we pick a superhero every day because they have
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: superheroes on the van, on the side of the vans,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: and superheroes inside. The techs, the people, the customer service
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: is second to none. Current Electric, callcurrent.com. Have them do
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: all your electrical work. And they have our superhero of
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the day. And it's Jackson Turio because of the moment.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Just getting him to the plate in itself was a
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: victory and getting the bases loaded. The only way that
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: could have been more dramatic... is if he had hit
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: a grand slam.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, get some launch angle on it, kid,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: and make it a little bit better. Drew, and like
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: all heroes, you want to come up like a phoenix
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: from the ashes. Jackson gets out in the seventh in
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: a really similar situation, bases juiced, knowing Miller's coming in
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: for a six-out save. That felt pretty damn daunting, but
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: he gets one more opportunity, one more chance, and delivers.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: A bat for the ages and a moment for the ages,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: and now Harmon hit it.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Cheerio.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Hits it hard.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Touchdown.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Touchdown.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: Yard scores.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: Here comes Brown.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: Plan to play.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: And Johnson-Chanel meets the ball at Ward's game two. You'll
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: never forget that one. Brewers fans will never forget that one. Yeah,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: there have been bigger moments, technically speaking, in its recency bias,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: but that's in the snaps. It's in the discussion for
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: one of the great electrifying moments.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Is it also because of who it is? Like, no
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: disrespect to Niger Morgan and his family, but when it
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: is the guy that is now the chosen one to
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: be the next face of the franchise... who now has
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: kind of already taken over that. He probably did, you know,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: maybe last year, but that has completely eliminated any question
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: or wonder. He is the face. He was anointed that with.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: The $ 80 million.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Deal before he plays a game. And it just might've
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: turned the corner. Like you think about the best teams
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: and the ones that do end up cracking through. Think
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: of the 19 nationals. Was it Murph this past weekend?
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: You were at the press conferences on Saturday. I think
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Murph mentioned, he's like, not always the best team wins.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: He mentioned the 19 nationals by name.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: And one of the.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Reasons they did was because they had this 22 year
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: old guy named Juan Soto, who was the best player
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: on the field every time he stepped onto it.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: And he came in that way.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: And whether or not this team does the exact same
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: thing that that one did, they might have the superstar
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: young pitcher that is taking the world over. They had Strasburg.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: You have Miz. They had Soto. You have Churio. And
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: you need to have one on each side. They're both
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: right now 25 to 1, or at least they were
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: to begin the weekend, Drew, to win World Series MVP.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: And if you think the Brewers get there, It's hard
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: to think they win it without those two guys being
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: superhuman and game-changing.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: And you got.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: That, luckily, from Jackson yesterday because you survived the game
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: and you won one where Miz was far from it.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: That's a great point, Billy.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: And Jackson was the guy, and he's the hero, and
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: he's the best hitter in the Brewers right now. He's
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: the one guy you have confidence in all the time.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: But you can't overestimate that this exemplified this team in
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: many ways. The star of the team for this team
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: is the team, right? Everyone stars in their role. And
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Sanchez working the walk, Yellich getting it started as well,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: getting on base, getting the steal, Freelick working the walk.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: They might, if you don't know.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: In the back of their mind, it's like, I don't
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: know if I'm going to be the guy to be
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: the hero against this dude, but I'm going to be
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the guy to get to the next guy, to star
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: in my role, to be part of the solution, to
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: do my part, to help put the right guy on
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: the right stage for the right moment. And that's what
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: everybody was doing there. So that was what was... Awesome
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: to me as well about that whole thing. In example five,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: this team is all about Gary Sanchez's walk might be
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: forgotten for history, but we'll remember how important that was
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: to get Jackson to that spot right on base right there.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: So the only thing I could think.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Of guys, and you know, I've been on a little
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: every now and then, and I make my jokes about Salvatore,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: but as soon as that thing went through, I said,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Sal is the right guy to be on second right
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: now because I know he's going to score. I know
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Sal Freelick will absolutely do everything in his power to
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: make sure his hand touches home plate, and he did.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: And that's the best part about having a guy like
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: that in his team. I don't know if you can
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: measure his size. Any number you can put against him,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: exit velocity, you can't measure heart. And you know he's
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: got a big one pumping right there. So it was
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: an awesome, awesome moment, not just for Jack Centurio, but
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: for the whole team.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: It absolutely was. For the whole city.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Marcus in Iowa, the current electric shut up and find
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the highlight of the day has a lot longer runway
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: than the year.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I love that. Well played. That is one of my
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: absolute favorite things I've ever heard.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: My favorite thing I've ever heard is the fact that
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: right now the winter upgrade special is going on the
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: electrical upgrade special with current electric. You have a chance
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: to get your home winter ready and save 200 bucks.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: What?
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Save $ 200 and get all your winter electrical upgrades in,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: roof edges.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Heat tape.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Get those exposed pipes with outdoor GFCI outlets with weatherproof cases.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Make sure those are locked in in the month of
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: October and get that deal. That's what I like to hear, Armin.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Hey, Marcus, I might not be always there when you call,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: but I'm always on time. You are not on time, actually.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: That's a great point. I was like 10 seconds late.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: It's almost like the day late on the, this day
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: on this day, 15 years ago yesterday.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But you get that. You get the highlight in
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the end.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't have been your brand if you would have
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: been on time with it.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Well, and like, when you look back, wasn't it better
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: than Jackson got in the ninth to walk it off
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: and not in the seventh. If you had a choice,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: like if you could play, that's the thing, you know,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: it's like, we wish Jackson got that hit the seven.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Too, but Yeah. Man, that was awesome.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: It was incredible. Awesome moment. Packers win a game. We
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: have the pleasure of talking to the voice of the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers and our friend, Wayne Larravee. We get
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: to break the news to him that we're moving to
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the afternoons. I think he'll be happy. I think he
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: will be. I think he'll be thrilled. Wayne Larravee is
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: going to join us next. You're in the huddle, Fox
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio, Wisconsin. We are huddled up in the good
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: land on a victory Monday. The victory Monday of all
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: victory Mondays. Badgers. Brewers, Packers, Brewers, we're winning everything. Billy
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: called it Winsconsin, and it's a win for us in
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the huddle as we get to welcome our friend Wayne Larivey,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: the voice of the Green Bay Packers, after what I
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: imagine was a happy flight back from Tampa, Florida. Wayne,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: before we start, there's no I in team. Media starts
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: with me. Don't know if you were with us for
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the announcement, but this is our last Monday in this
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: early morning slot. A week from today, we'll be patrolling
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the airwaves between 2 and 5 p.m., my friend, and
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you'll be coming with us.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you'll be... in civilization now.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: You get to broadcast in civilization.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: We're no longer, no longer, uh, the zombie apocalypse. And
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I don't mean people out there.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, in the studio here, it's the zombie apocalypse, uh,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: between five and 8.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: But we're moving the show.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Um, uh, Wayne, I like that. A civilized time for
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: you guys to chop it up.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: We'll be, we'll be glad to have you aboard as well. Um, Wayne,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: I mentioned yesterday on the Packers OT, uh, that football
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: is measured in yards and sometimes it's called a game
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: of inches, but the distance between one and three and
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: two and two is a galaxy, a hundred thousand miles.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: And for the Packers to get to two and two,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I don't care what style points aside, it was very
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: important and much needed yesterday.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no question about it, Drew, because really, and you
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: were just mentioning the schedule starts now with the Bears
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: game coming up this week and then Dallas and and
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: I can't look much farther than that. But to play
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: three games on the road, and if you go back
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: to the preseason, it seems like, all right, we played, what,
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: six games, counting preseason. Are there about seven games, something
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: like that? Only two of them have been home. So
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: this team's been on the road virtually for a month
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: and a half, and now it'll be good to get
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: home for a couple of games. The Bears just finished
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: a three-game homestand, so they're exactly the opposite of what
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: the Packers did. But No, you know, and yeah, was
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: there relief? And did it feel good to win a game,
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: especially under the conditions? And with Tampa playing desperate because
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: they didn't want to go to 0-4, yeah, it felt good.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: But you know what? There was a pall over the
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: whole thing because of the injury to Edgerin Cooper. I
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: don't know, people, the laymen probably don't realize how important,
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: how good, what a star Edgerin Cooper was becoming and
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: went down with that non-contact injury. And it's an Achilles
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: from what we understand. It probably is season ending. And
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: it's just really, you feel terrible first for the player.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Then you feel bad for the coaching staff. And then
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: you feel bad for personnel. And then you feel bad
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: for yourself as a fan and observer because you don't
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: get to see this guy play. But it's tough. And
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: the injuries are part of the deal. I get that.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: But boy, these big time devastating injuries. Jaden Reed going up. Drew,
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: you've said this so many times. That offense, that passing
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: game is not the same without Jaden Reed. And it
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: won't be the same. without Jaden Reed. They don't have
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: a replacement for him, and he's gone for the season.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: These injuries are tough. Hey, that's the ultimate challenge of
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: the NFL these days. It's injuries, not competition. It's can
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: you survive the injuries you incur?
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I totally understand the question. Pete Doherty is
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: one of the best and has done it for a
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: long time. He asked the question, but I totally understand
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: and I thought the response from Matt LaFleur was as
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: honest and true as possible. What are you going to
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: do now without Cooper? How do you get where you
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: want to go without Cooper?
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know because he's just that good.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: And Wayne, you're right.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: In NFL circles, he was quickly becoming not only a
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: household name, but somebody that people were planning on. I
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: think there were a lot of people that early on
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: were planning on circling him on a number of different ballots,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: including potentially all pro. He was that good. He was
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: having that good of a game yesterday. It was arguably
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: the best game of his career yesterday that he was having.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no question about it, Billy. Jonathan Gannon, I asked
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: him this summer, You know, what about the plans for Coop?
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, he was in coverage so much last year.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: He didn't have the impact. He didn't have the splash
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: plays he had as a rookie. He said, oh, we've
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: got plans for Coop. Don't worry about that. So, yeah,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: and they were using him. He and Evan Williams, guys,
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: were developing into two stars. And Evan, God willing, is
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: still healthy. But, you know, those are two young stars
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: on that defense. And they were going to take this
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: unit to the next level, along with Micah Parsons. And
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: when Devontae Wyatt came back up to speed. But, you know,
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: to lose a guy like that, that is devastating. It's tough.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: It's the National Football League. It's the way it is today.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: I've never seen in 49 years now so many non-contact
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: major injuries. Did they happen 40 years ago? Sure they did.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: But not like this, it seems like. And I don't
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: know what that is. I'm not qualified to tell you.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Is that the way they're training? Is that, nutrition? Is
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: that there's too much going on with these guys in
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: terms of their bodies and the way they prepare? I
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: don't know. But I just know we're seeing a lot
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: of it, and it's really devastating. This was a tough
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: blow for the Packers, believe me. So that win was
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: tempered by that feeling coming back on the plane.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: No question. And the idea that, well, eventually Micah Parsons
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: is going to come back and he's a field tilter,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: but having both of those guys would have taken the
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: defense to another level.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Here's the other thing, Drew, and I kept thinking about
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: this on the plane ride home. We're expecting when Micah
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: comes back that he's going to be the Micah Parsons
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: that left last December, right? That's what we're all assuming.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: We're just laymen. We're assuming that, right? Devontae Wyatt should
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: be where he was last Thanksgiving when he went down.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: Tucker Kraft should be exactly where he was before. Well,
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: you know, Devontae's back. So is Tucker. They're playing, but
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: they're not back. And it's taking time. And it will
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: take time for Micah as well. Now, he's superhuman. He
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: still may make an impact early on, but he won't
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: be Micah Parsons that we know and love Until he
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: gets back into the flow of things. And, you know,
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: that's the thing that's hard for us as laymen. We're thinking, okay,
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: we got Devontae Wyatt back. We're back now. He's back playing,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: but he's not back to where he was before. It
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: took them, you know, here's the thing, folks. Think of
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: it this way. It takes these athletes time to get
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: to where they are superstars. When they come off an
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: injury like this, it will take them time to get
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: back there again because you don't get to start from
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: where you left off.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: That is a good point. Talking to Wayne Larivey, the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: voice of the Green Bay Packers here on the huddle.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: And Wayne is brought to us by Belly.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Brought to you by Miller Lite. Legendary moments start with
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: a Lite. Pottawatomie Sportsbook, your sport, our stadium, and Wisconsin
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Concrete Coatings, your trusted partner for premium concrete coatings.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Wayne, that's a good point. You just gave us a
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: cautionary tale because Kevin Zeitler's been a Pro Bowl player,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: and if he's ramped up and ready to run through
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the tunnel on Sunday and face the Bears, what's he
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: going to have? The offensive line did look improved, and
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: there were times where I said to Billy, and Billy's
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: our offensive line guy, I said, Billy, look. There's players
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: on the other defense on the ground. It's not just
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Packers players on the ground. There was an improvement there.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Lakin Tomlinson had a couple of missteps, but he looked okay.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: And Travis Glover held his own. So the remaking of
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: the offensive line kind of started yesterday, and it's going
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: to continue as we move forward with Mekhi Becton and
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Kevin Zeitler.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: I'll be curious to see what the smart guys come
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: up with on the analytics on Travis Glover because to me,
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: to the naked eye, it looked like he was fine
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: at left guard. And, you know, so it'll be interesting
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: to see, you know, getting these guys on, there's a
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: certain amount of know-how that goes with it. Maybe they're
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: not in their pro pole selves of the past, but
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: there's a certain know-how there. And here's another thing that
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: was interesting. And I heard this on a podcast with
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Mike Wall, the former offensive lineman. And he said, you know,
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: and people were saying, well, what about the coaching can't
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: be good, all this other stuff. He said, no, it's
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: not coaching. He said, you know, he learned more from
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: the veterans he came in under as he started his
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: career than he ever learned from a coach. The guys
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: on the field, okay, look for this. On the field,
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: in the middle of a game, on the offensive line,
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: as they break the huddle, hey, keep an eye out
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: for this, for this, that, and the other. So he learned,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: people learn how to play the position of offensive line
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: in the trenches differently. More from those who are in
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: the trenches with them than they do from any kind
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: of coaching. Now, coaching is important. Don't get me wrong.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: And the Packers have good coaching. But the fact is,
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: you need leadership players. What was the deal this year?
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Who are the leaders on that Packers offensive line? Who
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: are the established veterans on that offensive line? Zach Bakobole.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: But he was coming back from a devastating injury. And
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: now he's gone again. So, you know, there wasn't much there.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: And I think that's something that we missed and something
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: that we didn't talk enough about is who are these
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: young guys learning from? Because you don't have veterans on
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: the field. Well, now they've got three veterans in camp,
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: two of whom are going to play, that can really
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: show these guys how it's done. And it's not just
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: on the field. It's off the field and how you
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: prepare and how you get ready to play each week.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: This was a very young offensive line with one guy
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: who had been around and done that before. And, you know,
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: unfortunately now Zach is out.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Two players in the way that I think are going
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: to feel the impact the most. I, neither of them
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: are Jordan love it's Jordan Morgan and Sean Ryan, because
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, Sean Ryan is still to your point, still
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: kind of learning to play center, what seven starts last year.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: And then he's got two guys that are. first year
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: starters in the NFL alongside that you're bringing along. And
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Jordan Morgan's only played a handful of games in the
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: NFL at left tackle, trying to do that. Now he
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: gets somebody who's played 10 years alongside him.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: You could just see what the switches and the exchanges.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Simple four man fronts and stunts that they were getting
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: beat on. against Atlanta. And that did feel like a
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: lot of communication. And, you know, Matt LaFleur mentioned to
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: the NFL network crew this year that Jordan love has
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: been elite with moving protections and being able to, before
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: the play diagnosed with defenses are doing, I think they
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: were in the guys up front were unable to communicate it,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: that trade-off and that confidence that those guys are going
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: to bring. I do think is going to impact Jordan
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Morgan even more because he seemed very settled yesterday.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought the line in general. Now, again, Billy,
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: as we went into the game, Tampa was not a
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: highly successful pass-rushing front. Now, they were very good defense,
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: and they were extremely salty against the run going into
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: that game. But they had trouble pressuring the quarterback, despite
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: the fact they blitzed a lot. They were one of
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: the highest blitz rate teams in the league, but one
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: of the lower pressure rate teams in the league, which
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: doesn't make a lot of sense, except that your blitz
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: is not getting home. I thought yesterday the protection was good.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: No sacks, two quarterback hits on the official scorecard. Obviously,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: that'll be adjusted a little bit, but I thought for
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: the most part, Jordan was kept clean. Some pre-snap penalties.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: There were two drives where I think the drives started
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: with a false start and maybe a.
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: I.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Think there was a hold on there or a legal
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: shift on one of them.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: A legal shift or some goofy thing like that.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: They were all on first downs, Wayne.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: On first downs to start a series of plays and So,
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: you know, the third down stuff, they were two for 10,
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: but they averaged five and a half yards to go
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: on third down, mostly because of penalty situations like that.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Uh, Wayne Jordan love had six interceptions. And by my count,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: three of them were drops between that and fumbling twice.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: You do that against a better outfit. It's going to be,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: it's not a recipe for success. How can they clean
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that up? Like we, we talked about drops all last year.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I think they led the league and, And they're leading
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: it again. What has to happen? What, what has to,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: what switch can be flipped?
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: That's a good question. Um, Tucker craft has had a
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: number of drops. Now he made a nice catch and,
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: and kept his feet in on that goal line, uh,
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: catch yesterday. And again, I'll go back to it. I mean,
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Tucker's not the player he was when he went out
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: last November, whenever it was, um, not yet, but he's
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: getting there. Uh, and he'll get there. There's no question
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: about that. He'll be a stud, uh, by the end
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: of the season. But, you know, some of the other stuff,
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know. And, you know, Jordan's not quite as
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: pinpoint as he was last year. I don't know. I
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: don't have analytics. Bill Huber's got all the analytics in
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: the world. Great writer, great beat writer for the Packers.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: As Sports Illustrated, on the Packers beat, he's outstanding. He'll
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: have analytics on this, but I'll tell you what, it
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: just looks to me like Jordan, and I think it's
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: a product of how much he's been hit, in the
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: first month of the season, really the first three weeks,
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: not quite as accurate as he was last year. I
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: think that's going to get better too, is the protection
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: is better. He will get better in that regard, but
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: you know, there he missed, I want to say over
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: through two or three open receivers yesterday. Um, You know,
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: the interception in Tampa Territory, the fumbled loss by Caleb
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Johnson deep in Tampa Territory. I mean, that game could
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: have been an easily, well, 17-point margin.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Easily.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know who you hand it to. I don't
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: know who you hand it to right now because you
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: have to be able to run it. You saw how
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: different their run game is, Wayne, or their offense is
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: when you have a run game.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: But I don't know who you hand it to at
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: this point. That's just it.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: I don't either because, you know, Caleb Johnson, you get
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: him lathered up and all of a sudden, boom, puts
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: the ball on the carpet. You can't have that. You know,
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: Chris Brooks is really best in that third down roll.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: And then Marshawn Lloyd hasn't had much to run through,
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: and his vision, he's still getting that back. But I
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: thought what I saw yesterday, and this was good, you know,
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: they got the ball to Marshawn Lloyd a couple of
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: times in the flat.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: In space.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: Just a little swing pass. Get him into space, okay?
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: He doesn't have to read anything but open field. Get
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: him into space, and then you saw him hurdle that defender.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: What a spectacular play that was. For a non-scoring play,
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: that was as good as it gets.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: He hurtled that defender and then had a false start.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Those are the things he can do.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: And then a false start on the next play and
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: then almost fumbles the ball.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Luckily, it went out of bounds two plays later. That's
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: the thing. Avoiding the mistakes. And there's, again, the trickle
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: down with missing Josh Jacobs. And Bo Melton had a
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: drop on a key play on a third down. It
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: would have been a first down. And if Jaden Reed's
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: not hurt, he's not the target there.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: And Drew, you're shaking your head and you're exactly right.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: And as I've looked at the first month of the season,
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: the Packers have had to battle four different opponents. They
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: make them five because they've been battling themselves. in a
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: lot of these games, trying to overcome all these penalties,
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: these turnovers, and not the number of turnovers, but when
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: they occur, my goodness, they are kind of backbreakers in
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: some regards. But I thought yesterday things were better. They
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: controlled the football a little bit better. The protection was better.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: They actually won time of possession. The Packers came in
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: last in the universe in time of possession. And they
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: at least got, they had the ball for 30 minutes.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: They won by, I don't know what, 10 seconds over Tampa.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: But at any rate, they had a little, they controlled
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: the football a little bit more. And that was crucial
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: yesterday in that heat down there because Larry kept saying
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: it throughout the game. Larry McCarron, you know, it is
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: harder to play defense in the heat. It takes more
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: energy to play defense in the heat. to rush the quarterback,
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: that type of thing. And, you know, at least the
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: offense had some long drives.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Wayne, thank you for joining us. We appreciate it. We
• 40:23
