• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Armin Sarian boys. It seems like five minutes ago. We
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: were at Pottawatomie huddled up.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Just hung up, just walked out with Armin Sarian with
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: excitement in his eye, a handful of tickets and an
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: under on a random college football game that was being
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: played in the NFL stadium. What, Is better than Thursday nights?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I don't have anything for you. Who's laughing now? Who's
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: laughing now? Oh, Pat Narduzzi. Way to hold that football.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Way to hold that thing under 50 and a half.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: That's what I like to see.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my Syracuse-Pittsburgh under came through, and Billy comes out.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I got the under in this game, because
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: it was like the only game going for college.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, why not, you know?
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: And he goes, what do you know about Syracuse and Pittsburgh?
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I said, I know I want action, and I got
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the under. And it worked. All right, so... Yeah, you
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: guys are in big trouble down there on Canal Street.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: That's like $ 4.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: 60.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: But there's a few winners over there. There's your Josh
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Allen first touchdown ticket in there. We got the under
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: on that one. This boy is smiling from ear to ear.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: And really, Drew, the only kind of smile you can
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: have on your face after you leave the Pottawatomie Sportsbook.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of great institutions in America. There's a
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: lot of great bars to watch sports in the city
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: of Milwaukee. there's none that potentially pay you to come back.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: And Armin Sarian is going, Armin Sarian is rolling right
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: on back there today. Vince McMahon strutting across that skywalk. Yeah, no,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we had a great time last night and it was
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: great to be there with all of our, our listeners
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and friends, good crowd last night and great to have Wayne.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: I have to give Wayne obviously all the credit there.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: So that was great to see. We had a lucky
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: winner when a couple of Packers tickets courtesy of Jameson.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: So, Hey, that was great. I forget. I'm blanking on
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: her name. Kay, right.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Our friend Kay ended up walking away with the tickets.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: We got to meet our friend Charlie, cutting the greens.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: He was the best.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I was talking to him. So it's great to be
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: there last night. So yeah, what this just felt like
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: a few hours ago, which it was. It was a
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: great time. It basically was.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: And the Thursday night game almost ended by the time
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: we got up this morning. It was kind of a
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: longer game, but it was a shootout last night. Yeah.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: That's the way I felt about it. And the Lions.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: The Lions are in somewhat a disarray, aren't they?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Well, man, they walked into a hornet's nest last night, right?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: That's a tough spot and a tough ask for anybody.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: But they've now lost four of their last five road games,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: if we're going to do the same thing with the
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Packers and count back into last year. I don't know
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: a ton of football people do that, Drew. I don't
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: know necessarily people inside of these buildings are doing it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Like we do with home and road splits and different
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: things in baseball. You're like, hey, I got bad news
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: for you. Baseball people don't really give a care about Right.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Like that's not going to register as much. This one's
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: not going to register as much. This one last night,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: you watch Detroit, who in week one got up to
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: a sweet 21 nothing lead.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Look like they're just going to. blitz and March out
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the saints.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden they got a two point conversion
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: defensively to try to either win or lose the football game.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: And luckily somebody runs into another guy and Tyler Chuck
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: just has thrown out the back of the end zone
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and they end up surviving. They go out down 27
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to seven, but just before halftime, they get the field
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: goal to at least trim it in, made it a
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: 10 point game. And that was about as close as
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: they were going to find in that second half. Cause
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: James cook was running it in finally. Sam Laporta, Amon Ross, St.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Brown found the end zone. But man, Josh Allen would
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: not be denied. And I was doing this last night
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: as I'm driving home and I'm listening on the radio
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: to Kevin Kugler just describing a beautiful scene.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Then I realized, what am I doing?
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I need to hear Lomas Brown and Dan Miller with
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: some misery radio on the way home on the Detroit
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Lions radio network. And I definitely enjoyed hearing them drew
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: seem like they are in some disarray.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Those boys on.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: The radio broadcast for the Detroit lions last night, frustrated, confounded,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: and continually looking for answers as to how on earth
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: are we going to stop anybody? I know nobody's going
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: to be Josh Allen running and throwing it as well
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: as he was last night, but man, you start looking
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: at the last six quarters of Detroit lions, defensive football.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: It is 70 points. If you include the overtime and,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: They have not given much defense against anything.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: In 63, they've given up 63 first downs in two games,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: which I think is right around some of the all-time marks. But, yeah,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: so definitely not good numbers for them.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And they barely won week one. My pal Andy in
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: West Bend, friend of the program and big Lions fan,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I've never seen a display like this. Did they even
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: have 11 guys on defense? Somehow did.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, somehow had 11 guys on there. But when one
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: guy accounts for basically three of them, It's hard, man.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen is right now outside of his own mistakes,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: which is the only reason why they lost that game
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: in Denver a year ago. He is as close to
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: unstoppable for others as I think there is right now
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: in the sport because when he's on the outside and
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: he's got at least some kind of capable weapons and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid looks like he's taking that leap that they
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: anticipated he would coming out of Utah and being a
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: first round pick. They've got a couple of guys that
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: they know they can get the ball to They got
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Joe Brady, who loves cooking it up for Josh Allen.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you? And right now, they got one of
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the more dangerous guys in the sport when he runs
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and throws it. There's not a whole lot of answers
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you have when that defensive end is out there on
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the perimeter.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And he was doing it last night. He was as advertised.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And listen, fired up because he was in that beautiful
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: place that Josh Allen didn't build the stadium. But he's
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: a sure as a hell of a reason why they
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: got it. It's sort of like the honest effect, right,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: with him. And in some ways, I mean, Buffalo's Buffalo.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're going to have their franchise. And they
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: played O'Canada last night.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: And I remember very cleanly that they were bringing up
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: ideas of going and playing some games at Rogers Center.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. They were very much thinking. A big
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: chunk of their fan base hails from Toronto.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Trying to figure out what are we going to do here.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: And instead, they get the kid from Wyoming to roll
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: through in Northern California.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, boom. We got the MVP.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: We got a brand new stadium. And we got a
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: lot of hope.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: They do have a couple, like basically two home markets,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: if you think about it. And Toronto is a huge,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: huge metropolis, people don't realize. And, yeah, that's a good point.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: You know, we think about our unique situation here with
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Milwaukee and the media home in Milwaukee with Green Bay.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: But it's a similar situation there, although a little less official.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I can't think of, I mean, I know they are
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: for two, for local TV and stuff, and they're two
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: hours apart. But Green Bay, Milwaukee, like Wisconsin, that's one market. Yeah,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that's one. One market. So we're still the most unique.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: We're still special. I understand that. You know, when the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Packers play the Rams, there are 30, I think 30
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: suburbs of Los Angeles that have higher populations than Green Bay. So,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you know. That's true. I mean, the Niners are in
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Santa Clara and all these things. So, yeah. No question
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: about it. Josh Allen was El Hombre again. Great night
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: for him in his new playground. The Lions, they weren't
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: exactly Brian Flores crazy, but they blitzed him 55% of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the dropbacks. How'd that work out? That's the highest rate
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that the Lions have had under defensive coordinator Calvin Shepard.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: On those blitzes, passing, Josh Allen was 12 for 17,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: 137 yards, two touchdowns. He scrambled five times for 49
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. And the quarterback sneaks four for
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: four on conversions with a touchdown.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: And listen, if you were one of the folks like
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Armin Sarian, maybe somebody else on the show, that were
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: waiting to see Josh Allen try to run in that
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: first touchdown... And he runs that sneak down to about
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the two-yard line. You think, oh, my goodness. How on
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: earth are you going to catch this thing? And they're
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: going to hand that thing over to number four, and
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: he's going to rumble on in. They line up in
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that QB sneak. I'd love to know how that huddle went.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Joe Brady right into the headset.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: You know what to do.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, you got.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Terminator back there and he's rolling as well as he
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: is right now. I would struggle to not only have
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: him run the football. Like I'm struggling with it and
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I'm going to watch Eastern Michigan against Wisconsin tomorrow and
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: talk about it on the badger radio network. And you
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: can listen to us on 13, 10 W I B
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a Colton Joseph, not Josh Allen.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Let's back that up.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Definitely six foot four, 225, 230 pounds. He's a stout kid,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: big dude. and he's going to want to run, and
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: guys want to run. Guys want to push the envelope
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: on running the football. I'm generally, let's dial that back,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: especially week two in the NFL, week three in college football,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: playing at directional school.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Let's pull that back just a little bit. Let's use
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: that when we need to.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: But I would struggle to not spam call the Josh
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Allen run outside and maybe dump it 15 yards down
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: to Dalton Kincaid, or maybe just try to run the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: bleep over somebody in the flat because he's pretty fun
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: at that and pretty good at it. And when he
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: has the kind of juice like he did last night,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I would struggle if I'm Joe Brady to not call
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: that almost every single time.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, especially when it works, right? When it's so effective.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Who's stopping it? It's hard.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Nobody can stop it. And it's hard to not do
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: it when it's so effective. I know once upon a time,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: and we always said this, and I think... People have
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: said it early on about Josh Allen, like eventually you
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: have to take him out of danger and not let
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: him run so much. But you're out there to produce,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: to move the ball, to gain yardage and win football games.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Like that's the goal of this.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: And when you can do it as well as you can,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: when you can put the defense at such a disadvantage.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: as Josh Allen does, I mean, that is a true
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: dual threat. We thought a little bit last night about,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: you know, should Jordan Love use his legs and more
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: things like that. This is an example of a true
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: dual threat quarterback that it's not necessarily that he's, you know,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: the Michael Vick juke master, Madden juke master. He does
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: do that though a lot. He's really good at it,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: but he's just a hoss. Like he's just a huge
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: unit of a man that can run well, throw and
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: on the run and do all these things. And it's
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: just so hard to stop and so effective that, because
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: you put the defense at such a disadvantage that it's
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: hard not to do that. And it's hard not to
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: call your own number if you have to, Billy. when
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: he knows in the back of his mind, look, if
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: this thing breaks down, I'm going to find a way
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: to get 10 yards. They can't stop me. They don't
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: want to stop me. And that's a great, you know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: we talk about how you stop the blitz or how
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: you stop.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Listen, it's hard. If that guy gets out.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: And can punish you for doing things like that as
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: a defense, It's really hard to deal with, and the
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Lions dealt with it last night through most of that game.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Through two games, Drew, Josh Allen has been sacked as
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: many times as he's scored rushing touchdowns. And he had
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: to get that first one. Got sacked twice against Houston.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe the best defense in all of football. Detroit last night,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: definitely not the best defense in all of football. Sacked
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: in each of those two games twice. A pair of
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: rushing touchdowns the first two games. He has already accounted
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: for nine TDs.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: In two games.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Uh, he was the odds on favorite to win the
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: MVP to start the year.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Shockingly.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: So at the Pottawatomie sports book, heavy favorite to win
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the MVP this morning on September 18th, uh, would be
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen. So at some point it maybe turns around,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: but maybe it doesn't, maybe he's 30 years old and
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: he's in the prime of his career. And, uh, the
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: time is now like if anybody's going to get one
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: out of the group of players at that position, win
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: a championship, it's the only thing left on his resume. Uh,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: it feels like it's, going to happen at some point.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills fans thought it was going to happen for
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Jim Kelly at some point.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: So we'll see.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: But he, with performances like that, he.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Quickly becomes, I think, America's favorite quarterback to watch. I mean,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: we've been saying it, and it's true. He deserves one.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, you can say the same about Lamar, too,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: but it just shows you how hard it is to
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: win the Super Bowl in this league. You know, it's
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: so hard to win it, and you can be really
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: good for a long time and have trouble doing it.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: So Andrew Fritch on YouTube, or give it to the
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: guy who led the NFL in rushing last year.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's another good option. I mean, there's options abound.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: So to your point, Billy, it sure looks like that
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: they are in good shape to make a run again.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Someone on Polymarket put $ 3. 3 million on Buffalo to win.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Cool.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: And it paid out $ 4. 7 million.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, hey, if you have money like that to invest,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he had money like that to lose, whoever
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: did that.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see that portfolio. That is awesome. Because
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you don't win every bet you make like that.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I definitely didn't send it that hard, but I'm glad
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Marcus in Iowa also. He said, Billy, thanks for handing
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: out that Josh Allen first touchdown pick yesterday.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Nailed it. Nailed it. Marcus, glad you were right on
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: that thing. Got me plus 600. Marcus also fired in.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I want Josh Allen to break Favre's consecutive starts record.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: But damn, they act like he's made of steel. I
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: just don't want him to get hurt, but they will
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: break you. The tough thing is when you're that big.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: You think you're going to break someone else.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: You just feel indestructible at some point, right?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: When you do that, right?
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's 6'6, 240 pounds at least, and he
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: knows how to run, knows how to maneuver. The thing
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: about Lamar when he runs, Drew, I don't know I've
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: ever seen him take a big hit. Lamar has an
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: uncanny ability to not get blown up. Jaden Daniels, conversely so.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've not seen him get split in half. Like,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels gets hit. It always looks like Gumby just
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: bouncing around and getting ragdolled around. Josh Allen does that
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to a lot of defenders, but he does take, like,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: smart shots. Yesterday, as he's doing one of the, it
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: felt like, seven or eight QB sneaks, looks like he
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: gets absolutely mollywhopped by a linebacker flying in. Devin White,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I think it was, late.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you realize Devin White's down.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: He realized that there's a Detroit guy down as he's
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: the one that just barreled into him. And Josh just
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: does that little thing where he just tries to fix
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: his uniform like the awkwardly fat kid when you're in
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: grade school football. And all you want to do is
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: pull your jersey down. All you want to do is
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: make sure that your stomach's not showing.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: You're just like, all right, hold on. Let me pull
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: it down real quick.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I'm all good. I'm all good. I'm ready to roll.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: And 248 passing yards later. Enjoy a day and enjoy
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: a game.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Buffalo folks.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: We're tailgating early into the day, and I can imagine
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Drew laid into the night last night with that celebrator.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, they were. I mean, jumping on a table. Ryan
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick jumping through a table. Well, in that postgame show,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: now you want to talk about something that just ended. Yeah,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: that's true.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: That postgame show goes forever. And I'm a fan of
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: guys just enjoying and having a good time. Drew and
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I wrapped up Packers OT yesterday. Two years ago, I
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: want to say, in one of these Thursday night games.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: And they had finished like 20 minutes before us. They
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: were just out doing Lambo leaps, running routes, hanging out
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: on the field. It is a really, really good show.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I think Prime has kind of dialed in some of
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: the honed in on all of the craft of broadcasting
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: NFL games now that they're into year five, which is
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: crazy to think of the Herb Street and Michael's experience.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: But I also thought just the nerdy side, the football
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: lover side. The sight lines and the grass looked gorgeous.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: In that stadium last night. On television, it looked phenomenal.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: And I'm excited to see a lot of games there
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: because I can imagine we're going to get a decent
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: amount of playoff games there coming up.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: It was nice to also see the open air and
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: everything like that. If you love that old-time football, the
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: open-air stadiums, because a lot are going to domes. I
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: know during the preseason, for some reason, I don't know.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I haven't been in Highmark, obviously, but there were a
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: lot of Twitter trends about how there was bad seats
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: in Highmark or some obstructed view, but it seemed like
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: nobody was complaining about that last night when they were
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: rolling up 41 points.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Some quick math, just because he piqued my curiosity.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Looks like Josh Allen's got 127 straight games, so 297
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: was Favre's number. Some quick math. He did 170 more games,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: so that's 10 seasons. 17 divided by So that's 10 seasons.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: So I guess he's 10 seasons behind Favre, if you're
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: thinking about the consecutive game streak. Obviously, he has one
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: more game per year than Favre did, so he has
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: a season shaved off there overall over the course of
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: 16 years. So if you're following that, we'll see you
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: in a decade. We'll see you at Geezerpalooza.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: All right, so maybe we'll know by then.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: It's an interesting study. That feels like one of those
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: records that would be unbreakable. But I think we thought
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: the same thing about when Garrick set that record that
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: there was not going to be somebody to.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Be able to come through.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: The game is just so physical now that I wouldn't
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: anticipate somebody's able to.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: But But the way quarterbacks are protected and plus the
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: recovery and the way they're staying healthy.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I would go recovery wise protected. Yes.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: But then I watched Josh Allen try to run through
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: a lean McNeil yesterday. And I don't know exactly how
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: much the protection is helping guys.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: To run through a defensive tackle. I'm like, I don't know.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: That's helping. Well, that's a good point. You know, everything
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: is an opposite reaction, right?
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: So the quarterback's testing the safety, right? I'm trying to
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: run more and things like that. You know, the whole
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Pat Mahomes, Caleb Williams, I'm going to bait you to
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: hit me out of bounds. So that's a good point too, Billy.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: So I guess we'll see what happens as we go.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: I remember for a while, Peyton Manning was only like
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: five or six seasons behind Favre while they were still playing. Obviously,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: he didn't get there, but I'm not sure it'll never
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: be broken. That's one that could be, like you said.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Eli's second on that list.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, wow. I think Eli might be second
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: on that list. That's impressive. I'm pretty sure he is.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: He's got at least 165 starts consecutive. You are correct.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Pretty impressive. You are correct. All right, you can reach
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: us on the NicoletLaw.com talk text line 877-794-1973. Once again,
• 17:13

• 17:22
  Speaker 1: have a little engagement on Thursday at Lambeau Field against
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. We can talk about that and the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: way it lines up when we come back. Also going
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: to talk Brewers. We'll have a report from Hunter Baumgart. Yes, sir.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Dodgers locked in. They got their clinch yesterday. I see it.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I'm watching a video of Kike Hernandez shoving a bottle
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: of champagne down Yoshinobu Yamamoto's pants.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: They look like they're having a good time. And then
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: when we're back at Pottawatomie Sportsbook in two weeks, guess what?
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: There'll be playoff baseball on.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: There sure will. We're going to be huddled up there.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: It's going to be phenomenal. What a fast summer. Get

  Speaker 1: portion of the program brought to you by Game Day

  Speaker 1: Men's Health. Check them out online. Game Day Men's Health.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Make an appointment at a clinic near you and see
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: how they can change your life. GameDayMensHealth.com. Get back in
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the game. The game last night, Buffalo-Detroit, was a good
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: little snacketizer. Packers play a week from last night at
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Lambeau Field, their opener. First, it's on to the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: But I got to say, Thursday night football, off to
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a pretty rocking start. Yeah, you get 72 combined points.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: That's a nice little work. Well, 49ers-Rams was not a
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: great game. It was a good matchup, not a great game.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Sure. Right?
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: But then Buffalo-Detroit, and then we follow that up with
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Atlanta-Green Bay, which may or may not be a good game.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: It's obviously a big game for us because it's the Packers.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Then October 1st, you got Aaron Rodgers going in to
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: face whoever's playing quarterback that week for the Browns, week four.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: That's a divisional game, rivalry game. Okay. Then Tampa Bay, Dallas.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Of course, Dallas has to make appearance on Thursday night football.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Has to, right. Seattle, Denver. That's spicy. October 15th.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean, hopefully Sam Darnold's back by that time.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Hopefully Bo Nix has dusted off the broken ankle rust
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: that he's got rolling here.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Then New England, Chicago. That's going to be a fun one.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: And we're moving towards the Halloween weekend. Carolina at Green Bay.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Which is the 29th Jacksonville, Baltimore and other good one. Yeah. Washington,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: New York, the giants, the guy Nats, Indianapolis, Houston. I'm
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: looking to be the grown for me. Yeah. I'm like,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing some groans here, but Denver, Pittsburgh, Kansas city,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the Rams. December. So basically what I'm coming around to,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing Minnesota at New England in December. That'll be good.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: San Francisco, L.A., the rematch on Thursday. That's always a
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: sexy matchup.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: 17th.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: That's the Chargers. Whatever, mine then. Houston, Philly, another spicy
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: matchup on Christmas Eve. And then they close out scheduled
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Baltimore at Cincinnati. I can remember when that was like
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the place where good games went to die on Thursday night, right?
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not as much of the color rush Titans
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: and Jags from 2018 every single week.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now it's like they got some legit games.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Well, and it's matchups, but it's also what the performance
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: is going to be, right? There were a lot of
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: 16 to 13 affairs.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Too, on those nights. Yeah, but it's just like Amazon
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: flexed or something because they're getting some decent matchups. Well,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: when you pay a certain amount of cash.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, when you pay $ 60 million a run
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: for one of these things, you're going to want some
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: good games. The other part of it is at the
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: onset of Thursday Night Football, When they first came up
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: with the idea, it was its own product. It was
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: the NFL's own product because it was on NFL Network.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Then when they started selling it around and sold it
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: to Fox for that number of years, you started to
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: get some interesting ones, and you got Joe Buck and
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Troy Aikman doing double time. Jim Nansen, Romo would do
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: two games a week when it would be on CBS
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: for a couple of years as well. And then when
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: they sold it as its exclusive package, and also I
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: think the first of what will ultimately be a full
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: package that Amazon is getting, Uh, they started saying, Hey man,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: we're at the table.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: We've now shown that we can do it.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: We've now shown that we're pretty good at the production,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: that our cameras are pretty good, that the streaming isn't
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: a problem on the quality that.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Everybody pretty much has prime.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, Armand's deal with Netflix that you said that
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: you've griped a couple of times, like at least everybody
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: actually has that one. The amount of people that probably
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: have Amazon prime and don't realize that they pay for
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Amazon prime.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Is vast. And if you have Amazon prime, you have
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: prime video.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: So it like the, the value and the amount of people,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: the accessibility, I think was a little higher.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: And yeah, drew, when you start ponying.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Up this kind of cash for it, Amazon Bezos said, sir,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: We're not going to settle for the Cardinals and the
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Browns every single week.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: You're going to have to give us the good guys.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: And it speaks to the reality that we all know
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: that NFL is what drives everything in terms of if
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: you are a streaming company that wants to get subscribers,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: if you want to get eyeballs, you know, when you
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: put the public's feet to the fire, if you dangle
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: an NFL game in front of them, it will force action.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: More than like, you know, even like some reality show
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: or some... My folks popped for Netflix last week. That's
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: the thing. I mean, and like, you would never have
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: thought that they would have done it, right? They're not
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: a thing on there that they'd be watching. At some,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: you gripe and you complain and then say, all right,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: we'll have to do it. And that's why, you know,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: and not only that, they've set the culture. Like, over
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: these many years where Thursday night football, instead of being
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: a curiosity, has become a destination like Monday night football did.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: It's not.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: And I mean, you, you, you got me messed up.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: If you don't think they're going to try and do
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: it another night. I mean, they're going to NFL is
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: going to try and maybe in conjunction with another streaming place, say,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: let's do this on Friday night. What let's make Friday
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: night football thing.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Well, I think that would, you know, and, and this
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: is my, uh, this is my maybe half-baked theory. that's
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: what ultimately the international series is going to be. Is
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: it going to be a Fridays? Well, it's going to
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: come into a different day of the week. Now, the
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: tough thing is, obviously, with the time zone changes, you
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: can't always crowbar it into the same slot.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: But that.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Very much could be the package that Netflix would end
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: up buying again. Because, again, the folks that you want
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: to impress, you do certain things for.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: There are a lot of people that are listening to
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: us that are out of their dating lives. But when
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: you really were trying to impress, guess what? You might
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: buy that filet instead of saying, you know what? I
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: might just go with the shrimp cocktail I ate before this.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I'm really not that hungry. But you're going to try
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: to step up a little bit. You want to flex
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: for the folks that you're trying to make.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: A new deal with.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: And soon are going to gone be the days of
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: them working and doing handshake agreements and to help out
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: CBS and Fox. They want to help out Amazon, Netflix,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: and the other streamers because that's ultimately where they're going
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: to try to sell the biggest package to, I would assume,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: in the next rights deal.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: And a new revenue source. And that's always exciting for
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: those guys.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: You could see it, though.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Hey, that's how Roger Goodell makes $ 60 million a year, right?
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Instead of me poo-pooing it, this is how he makes
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: his money by getting revenue sources.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Drew, do you want to tell them?
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Do you want to tell them?
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Go ahead.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: You can. I got bad news for you. It's going
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: to be more.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: He's going to make more on this new contract than
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the $ 60 million.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: He's getting a bump. He's getting a bonus. Is it
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: more than that? I thought it was $ 60. Wow. I
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: think $ 60 was his last deal. Yeah, that's what I thought.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: $ 60 was his previous contract. I thought I heard $ 60
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: was the new one. $ 60 was his previous contract.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: What's $ 10 million?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Amongst friends?
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: But you could see at least drew a little bit
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: of the shift here when they put the Rams and
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Packers on that Wednesday night test run on Netflix bears
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Packers on Christmas day.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. They're getting the brands on the streamers because
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: they said, wait, all right. 50 million for this game.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: 50 for this game.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: We're going to need, we're not watching the Titans. We're
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: going to need some good games. And the NFL is, is,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: is complicit with it. They're putting their best products on
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of these ones. You listen through that, that
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: run of games and yeah, It's not a coincidence that
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Green Bay and Kansas City are Netflix's team this year.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: The Packers play four streaming games.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: You want to get the brands that are going to
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: not only be local, but the ones that do also
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: somewhat stretch internationally, because I do believe that's the streamers focus.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: So they want the brand. And we are one of
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: the big brands. And obviously, as long as we're halfway decent,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: which the Packers have been. Hey, and if you miss
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: having a noon game on Sunday every weekend, I'm raising
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: my hand sometimes, but hey, you got one this weekend,
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: so enjoy it. Now, we have two competing Al Michaels
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: techs on the NickLayLaw.com talking text line. Sort of competing,
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: so I might as well read them both since we're
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: talking about the business of football here. Marcus and I, well,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: first I'll start with it. Anyone notice Al Michaels getting
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: tired in the fourth quarter, not in game shape yet? Yeah, brother,
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: he's 81. Like, I don't know what else to say.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: It's pretty impressive to see what he's doing at this age.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: To be honest, I think the one that I noticed
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: more is Al, like after the two minute warning in
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: the first half.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Cause he knows he's hungry. He knows that steak's getting
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: wheeled in.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: He knows he's turning around and there's about to be
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: a big old hunk of meat right there.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: No pause.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: So I think that was when you started seeing the,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Bit of Al being like, all right, let's expedite this thing,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: all right?
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: It's on the hot plate.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Let's get this thing rolling. At the end of the night,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: he knows he's getting into a plane and flying home.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: So I think he's okay with that one. The one
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: at halftime, I could see him... visibly frustrated with how
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: long it was taking in between the two minute warning
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: when they signed off.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: And people, you can say like, is he getting tired? Like,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, I get tired and I'm half the age,
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: so I'm pretty impressed with what he's doing. At least
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I know some people get on Al. I don't, I
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: think it's pretty impressive what he's doing at this age.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: I think he sounds pretty good. And then Justin Jacksonville
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: with another Al McGuire, Al McGuire, man, Al Michaels take
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: kind of on the other way. He said, I think
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Al Michaels bitching about the quality of games. The network
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: is what helped them get good matchups.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: It might not have hurt. Probably not. I don't think
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: it hurts, so Al maybe has a little power there.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Pretty interesting.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: A couple takes on Al early this morning.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Al might have a little bit of sway there.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: More than anything, it's that they know Al's going to
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: say the quiet part out loud.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. He doesn't care. He's going to say whatever
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: he wants, and that's what people like about it. He'll
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: say it. Excuse me.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Guys, can we get somebody else here other than the
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Jets and Giants? Fellas, we need to have something good.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: If I'm missing my Kings game where I have ice
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: side seats and I'm up on the glass, come on.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: We got to get some kind of good event here
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: that I'm missing this for.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Quite classic. 877-794-1973 gets you into the NicoletLaw.com talk and
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: text line. Taking your thoughts now. We're far removed from
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: a Brewers game, but they're back at it tonight in
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: the land of the crab cakes. In Baltimore, Camden Yards.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: By the way, I'm a huge fan of the crab cake.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: The local fish seafood restaurant by me does a really
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: good job, and I'm kind of hooked on that damn sandwich.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: The crab cake sandwich is delicious, man. Little Old Bay.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: And they fly it in fresh, man. It's incredible.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: My dad lived in Baltimore for a while, so he
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: always has a take on that. And around here, you
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: don't get a lot of crab cakes, so they usually
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: fall on deaf ears.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: He needs to come to my hood. There's like a
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: million different recipes. I know, Drew.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: There's good spots there. And, of course, your old friend
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Antonio Freeman was all about the crab.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: All about the blue crab. Yeah, he's big time. He's
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: a Maryland guy. He's always bragged about his crab cooking skills.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: He loved talking to the crab. Ooh, there we go.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Crab cake sandwich. And that's the thing. When we would
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: go to Baltimore and Camden Yards, it's like, Visiting writers,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: the way they get excited about the brats in the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: American family field press box, which I got to say,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: all due respect to my friends there, those aren't the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: best brats in the planet. They're brats. They're brats. Yeah.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: They're not the best. That's not a great representation. It's
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: probably the way people felt about the crab cakes. in
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the media dining room at Camden Yards that I got
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: so excited about and I ate every night. You're like,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: oh my God, it's the greatest thing. Yeah, because it's
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: once a year. I got to fill up. It's a tradition.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: But now I found a spot near me where I
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: can get them all the time. Yeah, you do.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Notice when they put those halftime curds and brats out
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: at Lambeau, the visiting swath.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Of media is right to the curds. And they're like,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: wait a second. You can dip this thing in ranch? Yeah,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: it's a novelty. Oh, my gosh.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, now we're talking. It's more of just like to
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: let your freak flag fly.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: That's right. You get to do whatever you want with
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: these curds. A little salsa? Why not? Those curds in
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the Lambo press box are the saltiest curds too, man.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Because they know what brings the people in. Well, I mean,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: it is a tourist novelty, right?
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: You get excited.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: It's like when I went to New York, the Big
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: East Terminal, I was all excited to go to Kansas Deli.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: Of course.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I'm sure nobody else was as excited as me. Or
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: when I went, I went to see the Brewers and
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Citizens Bank. This was so many years ago now, I
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: think what, oh nine or 10 maybe. And you know,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: I'm taking pictures of myself getting a Philly cheesesteak at
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: the concession stand. I'm sure that's the most basic Philly
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: cheesesteak in all of Philadelphia, but it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Was the one there.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: And I might actually be able to make you one
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: of those things on the blacks probably.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: And listen, I mean, now it's like, Oh, you go
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: to Tony Luke's or you go to Pat's.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And Joe, what are you doing? You tourist? What are
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: you doing? You tour? Do I care?
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, yeah, I'm a tourist. I can't stand
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: when people are like, Oh, why are you doing all
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: the tourist stuff? Cause I'm a tourist.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: That's what we do. Did you get a, did you
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: get ridiculed at all on that trip? Yeah. Oh, you
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: like this story.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I'm wearing my brewers, my brewer shirt. And like, yeah,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: it was, it was an uncomfortable experience. What did I
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: ask for an empty cup or something? Cause I had
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: sunflower seeds and they just shot me a look like, no,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I don't do that here in Philadelphia.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, fine. Get out of here.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: It was like, man, I'll spit them on the ground.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Like a, like an uncivilized human. I didn't expect that.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't expect it. I'm like, okay, boo me. I
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: don't care.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: This is Philadelphia.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Boo me.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Like it was kind of, whatever that's Philly for you.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: The overrated city anyway.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't know what was going to come out of
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: that question, but I'm glad I asked because it was
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: exactly what I was hoping for.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I thought you knew that story. No, I've never heard
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: that story. Yeah, they were super rude to me. Our
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: boy Jason Wildey was walking into the stadium in Philadelphia
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: to cover a Packers game as he was, and he
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: happened to be wearing, because he's Jason Wildey, he was
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: wearing a pink Oxford shirt.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: And one of the guys looked up from his tailgate,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: nice shirt, douchebag.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Jeez.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: That's mean. Welcome to Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: It's so overrated. I mean, in a nutshell, there you go.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: That is just so perfect.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: So perfect outside of the, cause it was either going
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: to be the pink Oxford shirt or we're going to
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: have some, uh, in Oregon, uh, Robin and instead he's like, yeah, yeah.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Get up out of here, dude. Get your salmon out
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: of here. Oh, that's fun. I love when I remember when.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Billy boat up to the Philly TV news guy at
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: the Superbowl.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: When he was like i hate.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Your city oh my god who do you think's gonna
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: win i don't know but i sure as hell hope
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: it ain't you.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: That was so funny i'll tell you i don't want
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: it to be he loved it though that was good
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: yeah he actually did respect oh he loved it they
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: have i mean they do act you know what i
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: hate is your football team that's great that was fun
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: i mean they act like they invented beef and cheese
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: like i got news for you harvey's does that like
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: we all.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Do that like Early on in my ball riding career,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: they used to have media shuttles and stuff and accommodations.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: They don't do that. Baseball stopped doing that forever. It's
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: so funny because the football guys are like, hey, where's
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: the media hotel for the World Series? I'm like, they
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: don't do that. You're on your own, man. Baseball guys
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: are on your own. Go find a hotel. This was
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: before Airbnb. Really? Call somebody, see if you can sleep
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: on their couch. But we're getting off the bus one
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: time at Yankee Stadium, and they were getting ready. They're
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: playing the Padres in the World Series.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, great.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: 98, right?
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Our bus rolls over, and people are like,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Padres suck. Padres suck. First guy gets off. This is
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: a media bus. Media sucks. Media sucks. Media sucks. We
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: got 10 minutes of media sucks. They just kept going
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: after it, man. You all suck. That's kind of fun, actually.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: That's fun. They were charged up to boo somebody. I
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: like it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: Love it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Justin in Jacksonville.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Every restaurant in Baltimore will say they have the best
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: crab cakes, and to be honest, I've never had a
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: bad crab cake living in Baltimore.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: That is kind of true.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Is that ultimately like, I was going to say like
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: a broader pizza or.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Wings in Buffalo. Yeah.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: They had that on the media spread yesterday, Drew, and
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: they don't even call them Buffalo wings. It's just wings.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: There's just wings with medium sauce.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Don't worry. But they're going to be better than anything
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: else you're having. Exactly. Just wings.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: We're off and running. We got to solve some problems
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: of the world here today. We got to figure out
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: how the Packers are going to do, how the Badgers
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: are going to do. And at what point will the
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Brewers wrap up the only thing left on their plate,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: which is to get that number one seed? You can say, well,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: they've got to clinch the bye. Bye's coming. Be one
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: of the top two. That's coming. I think that's a foregone.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: That's a fait accompli, to use an Armand term. That's
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion. We can worry about the Doyers as
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: we move forward, and they're going to have a little
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: hangover as well now that they've celebrated. But the Brewers
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: celebrated first. Just saying. Bottles in their pants. That's a
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: weird way of celebrating. You are in the huddle, Fox
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio Wisconsin. Drew, Billy, and Armand bringing it to you,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: the Friday edition of the Huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison. Our boy Hunter Baumgart has spent,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: it seems like, a month in Pittsburgh. It's actually just
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: been a couple of days. He's coming back this morning.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he is doing a lot of great work over
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: there this week.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: He was there for the clinch. They took care of
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: business early, but he's continued to cover the series and
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: persevered for us on the banks of the three rivers.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: And he has a report from the getaway game, which
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: we didn't talk about it during the huddle at all yesterday,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: the evening huddle, the Thursday night huddle at Pottawatomie. Brewers
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: losing the getaway game, won the series. Kyle Harrison imploded again.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: And a lot of folks wondering, is he going to
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: be in the rotation? I'm like, I don't think they're
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: going to let him near anything that's important at this juncture.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Give him a sweatshirt. That'll be about as close to
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the playoffs as he gets. Just about it. But let's
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: hear what Hunter had to say about the Brewers' loss
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: on getaway day. in Pittsburgh. Thanks, guys.
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: One more report here from Pittsburgh at PNC Park.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Look at that view.
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: Just absolutely fantastic. If you're watching this on YouTube, Facebook,
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: or X, you're seeing this beautiful view, one of the
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: best views in baseball, and I've gotten to enjoy it
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: for the first time over the last three days. So
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: thankful for it. Brewers clinched the NL Central. They fall
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: in the series finale yesterday, 7-4. The big, really, storyline
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: coming out of yesterday was Kyle Harrison gives up five
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: runs over one and two-thirds. All of those runs coming
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: with two outs. He talked to us after the game
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: and said this may be the toughest stretch of his
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: career so far.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'll be straight up. It's just, it's been tough,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: you know, first time I've kind of really gone through
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: this like consecutive starts, not really going my way. Um, yeah,
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: definitely tough, but, um, just looking at the routine, looking
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: at the work, it's not going to change. You know,
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: I'm going to keep putting in the work and to
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: keep fighting and, um, that's all you can do, right? Um,
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: go out there and compete and, um, Yeah, I thought
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: stuff was pretty good today, but yeah, anytime you hear
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: about the free passes coming up by pitches, leads to.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: Not good things.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: He's going to keep putting in the work, and Brewers
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: manager Pat Murphy and the Brewers not going to give
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: up on him yet. They are going to send him
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: back out there. Here is Pat Murphy talking about the
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: plan for Kyle Harrison.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, we're going to throw him in there again.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: I don't know if it will be in the front
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: end or in the middle. I think we just got
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: to make sure that the properties of his pitches get
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: back His delivery has got to be impeccable, and his
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: mental state has to be improving because when you go
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: through a stretch like this, it's very tough to get
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: yourself together. It's very tough to handle it all.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: It's like a hitter that's all for 30.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: It's a.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: Tough game, but he'll use this and get better from it.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: We still have tremendous faith in him.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: And get this, Kyle Harrison over his last four outings,
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: nine innings, 24 runs, 21 of them earned. The Brewers
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: now go to Baltimore to face the Orioles the next
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: three days. Tonight, 6.05 first pitch, Dustin May on the mound.
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: I'll have you for the baseball pregame show live in
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: studio in Milwaukee at 5 o'clock on Fox Sports 920
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: and our social channels. This report brought to you by
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: Import Minded, your trusted choice for exceptional vehicle care on
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: South 27th, just north of 894. It's been a blast
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: joining you guys from Pittsburgh all week. Looking forward to
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: the stretch run and the postseason.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Back to you guys. How about that Hunter Baumgartner? Great stuff.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Traveling back and still going to host a baseball pregame
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: show tonight. That's impressive work.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: And as much as I agree, it's been awesome having
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Hunter there, boots on the ground and enjoy. I'm excited
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: for him to be back here for the stretch run.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: I'm excited for it to be mostly at American Family
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Field and hopefully getting some more sights and sounds from
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: the celebration because. It did appear, Drew, you're rubbing off
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: on young Hunter a little bit. Seemed like he stayed
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: relatively dry. Seemed like he was able to have some
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: veteran moments in that celebration.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Didn't seem like he got doused too much.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: It seemed like he was working the peripheries, and he
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: is starting to become a little bit more of a
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: seasoned vet in this stuff.
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: You quickly realize it's not your party. It's their party.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: You're just kind of there. I've been in a lot
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: of those parties. Chaperone. Yeah. Kind of you're the, okay, just.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Nobody really wants you here, but no one's going to
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: ask you to leave kind of thing. One of those deals. Yeah,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: for sure. Pretty much how it rolls. You know you're there.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: But it's like you still want to be part of
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: it and say you were, but it's like great stuff, though,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: from Murph and Kyle Harrison. Obviously the tough stretch, but
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: he's heads up.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: He's standing up there. They're not going to let him
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: anywhere near a meaningful game unless he writes a ship
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: in the next, you know, what? 10 days.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: It's hard to see it, even if he does have
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: a good start, because you're talking about having to get
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: the process back.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: But I like what Murph said about that. It's like,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: you worry about his.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: Pitch, properties of his pitches, but more importantly, his mental state.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: It's like, keep your head up, go through this, because
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: that's what happens sometimes. But just know you've got to
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: stick with the process, the plan, and stay positive and
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: try and stay focused, because it can't be easy for
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: a young guy to have to face adversity like that.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: If they hadn't clinched already, there's no way they'd be
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: running him out there. Exactly.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: You have the luxury right now to try and Let
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: him have that leash to see if he can figure
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: it out.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: This is a case where, you know, why are they like,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: you know, you're trying to win every game. You're trying
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: to beat the Dodgers. You're trying to win a hundred,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: but You're also trying to develop, and this kid's part
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: of the blueprint for the future, so you're just trying
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: to invest.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: If there is a season in 27, he's going to
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: be a big part of it. He will be a
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: big part of it in 28, 29, and 30, you
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: would hope. And some of it needs to be development,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: honing in. And also, maybe this is just too simplistic.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: I also think it's a dude hitting an absolute wall.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: He wouldn't be the first 24-year-old to hit a wall.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: And a lot of times in sports, when you hit
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: that wall, it is quick and very, very unforgiving.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: And it has really been for Kyle Harrison as of late.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the mental thing is probably the toughest.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: So he's just got to work through it. And the
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: best way is to try and focus on what works
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: for you and execute it.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: The best you can. So it's all about the process, right?
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Trust the process, Armand.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Process over results. But we do need some results to
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: get a little damn better. I don't care how good
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: the process is. If these are the results, I'll live
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: with someone else's process.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing about that, because you don't take
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: every pitcher with you to the postseason, so he can
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: be just right along. He still gets to hang out. Yeah,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: he'll be a right along. All right, as we move forward,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: we'll continue. We'll talk more about the Brewers and their
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: prospects for this week. I'm going to slip in some
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Badgers talk, because Billy's going to be at Camp Randall.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Cannot wait, baby. Come on.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
