2:04
Speaker 1: But it was uh, listen, we're we're doing it though
2:07
Speaker 1: for the people. And Armon was the one that was

2:16
Speaker 1: Armond was in here before Brave in the elements, in
2:20
Speaker 1: the real frigid look two and a half.
2:22
Speaker 2: Interests us to know out there that I should have
2:24
Speaker 2: listened to arm yesterday.
2:26
Speaker 3: I got a Kia told I should have listened to
2:29
Speaker 3: Army yesterday when he said go get gas today.
2:31

2:35

2:41
Speaker 2: last shot of do it.
2:42
Speaker 1: I said that to my wife and like Armand said
2:44
Speaker 1: I should go get gas today, because she goes, what
2:47
Speaker 1: is he your dad?
2:48
Speaker 2: Sometimes he gives the very fo radio.
2:51
Speaker 3: I might have to say gas in the style of
2:53
Speaker 3: our buddy Dobe Maxwell, who often does what cops do.
2:56
Speaker 2: He fills up his car while it's.
2:58
Speaker 3: Running so it stays war says warm, Yeah, like you're
3:02
Speaker 3: not supposed to do that.
3:02
Speaker 1: Well, he does that, do that all the time, I
3:04
Speaker 1: thought that was a big problem.
3:06
Speaker 2: Think it's a real risk. I still think they're mostly
3:08
Speaker 2: worried about people driving away and not paying the pump.
3:11
Speaker 2: It doesn't you got to be messed up if I'm
3:12
Speaker 2: taking that chance. Okay, I'm not.
3:14
Speaker 1: That's like you're smoking a cigar doing it well, yeah,
3:17
Speaker 1: but okay.
3:18
Speaker 2: I don't think you can hurt your car putting like
3:20
Speaker 2: having it run well, yeah, but.
3:21
Speaker 1: Armand sorry, and that wouldn't use his brights on a
3:24
Speaker 1: city street if it's I don't.
3:26
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's gonna be doing that.
3:28
Speaker 5: I might might distrack somebody soon might get issue. It
3:31
Speaker 5: might be an issue for somebody.
3:32
Speaker 3: It's Wednesday on the program. That means it's hot Teke
3:35
Speaker 3: hump Day. Arm And I don't know if there's just
3:36
Speaker 3: still a key in there that hunter le the Hot
3:38
Speaker 3: Hot Hot song.
3:41
Speaker 2: Or a little snoop drop it.
3:43
Speaker 3: But hot Take hump Day is upon us eight seven seven,
3:45
Speaker 3: seven nine four one ninety seven to three your best opinion. Now,
3:50
Speaker 3: back in the day when we started Hot Take comp Day,
3:52
Speaker 3: we thought we'd be sticklers. And it's got to be
3:53
Speaker 3: an opinion. It can't be like a prediction like Oh,
3:56
Speaker 3: this team's gonna win a champion. Bro, this team's gona
3:58
Speaker 3: win this minute game. But this team's gonna beat that team.
4:01
Speaker 2: So we've relaxed that why too early to be a stick.
4:08
Speaker 3: So if you have an opinion that you want to
4:10
Speaker 3: get off your chest on sports or anything, hot take
4:13
Speaker 3: Humpty is your vehicle. And I will start the bidding
4:16
Speaker 3: boys by saying, here's a hot take, and uh, it's.
4:20
Speaker 2: Coming up in less than a week.
4:23
Speaker 3: Southwest is getting rid of the boarding groups and they're
4:26
Speaker 3: always signed seats. And my hot take is that is
4:29
Speaker 3: going to make that airline less appealing.
4:31
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Yeah, that's a big debate. Oh my lord,
4:37
Speaker 1: I love that now. It's it's like the seat yourself.
4:39
Speaker 4: Think.
4:40
Speaker 2: I know, arman, You've gone back and forth.
4:41
Speaker 3: You were conflicted because you get nervous and anxiety about
4:44
Speaker 3: where you're gonna sit.
4:45
Speaker 5: It is nice knowing I'm as signed to a seat. However,
4:47
Speaker 5: I'll admit it's not like the airline. I have full
4:49
Speaker 5: in the most so I don't have experience with it.
4:51
Speaker 5: So I might like it if I did. But isn't
4:54
Speaker 5: it more about the bag fees too? There was a
4:56
Speaker 5: lot of things that made Southwest special of people that
4:59
Speaker 5: now they're just like any of the airline And I
5:00
Speaker 5: got news for you.
5:01
Speaker 2: That's what it's gonna be like.
5:03
Speaker 5: I mean, we are just gonna be cattle shepherded from
5:06
Speaker 5: pace to place.
5:07
Speaker 1: I had almost become like buddy that only wears Nike shoes,
5:11
Speaker 1: only flying Southwest for a while, Like I had flown
5:14
Speaker 1: Southwest so much that I felt like I was almost
5:17
Speaker 1: exclusive to it.
5:18
Speaker 2: You were loyal to it.
5:19
Speaker 1: And that's what companies want to do is create for
5:22
Speaker 1: the big reason of I know, I can walk onto
5:24
Speaker 1: this flight and in the mood that I am in,
5:28
Speaker 1: pick my location. Do I decide that I want to
5:31
Speaker 1: be the jerk that sits right in between on the
5:33
Speaker 1: middle seat row number one? Maybe maybe maybe I do.
5:38
Speaker 1: Maybe I do because I want to get off this
5:39
Speaker 1: plane immediately. Or maybe I want to push it all
5:42
Speaker 1: the way to row thirty two and see if possibly
5:46
Speaker 1: I can bunker into the corner and get a full
5:48
Speaker 1: road to myself and doze off.
5:50
Speaker 2: Idea. I love that part of it.
5:52
Speaker 1: And with the family now in our travel down to
5:55
Speaker 1: go see you know, the snowbirding grandparents, maybe go and
5:58
Speaker 1: catch a couple of ball games in Arizona. It's uh,
6:02
Speaker 1: it's non existent because the amount of fee that you're
6:04
Speaker 1: paying for the bags as well as picking your seat,
6:08
Speaker 1: which ends up being like forty to fifty bucks a
6:10
Speaker 1: piece here and not being able to pick your spot.
6:14
Speaker 1: I almost deleted the entire app. I'm thinking that is
6:17
Speaker 1: a hot take that I am going to be all
6:19
Speaker 1: over with that.
6:19
Speaker 3: Let's have your hot takes eight seven, seven, seven, nine,
6:22
Speaker 3: one ninety seven to three. David Monona's itching to get
6:26
Speaker 3: on the line, Dave Eve, welcome to the huddle.
6:29
Speaker 4: Oh you you just can't be going on a story
6:32
Speaker 4: of myself with Is that going to be the biggest
6:35
Speaker 4: cluster blank? Because you imagine street fat guys getting on
6:38
Speaker 4: the plane. I think I'm gonna sit here here and there,
6:41
Speaker 4: all the middle seats, all.
6:42
Speaker 1: My buddies, Yes, all my buddies, Dave, that that's that
6:45
Speaker 1: would be us wrong.
6:46
Speaker 2: Why don't we go sit in thirteen, fourteen and fifteen.
6:50
Speaker 4: Exactly, dude, all all a's and all.
6:52
Speaker 2: It all sweat too.
6:54
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yep, yep, Oh my god, is that going
6:57
Speaker 4: to be a cluster blank? But hey, it's been a
6:59
Speaker 4: great show up, great quotes. The one guy who says well,
7:02
Speaker 4: Matt Lafloor scored more points the first half. That's a
7:05
Speaker 4: great take, ye, I said Tom Brady.
7:09
Speaker 3: I said, Matt Lafleur, he blew some leads in the
7:12
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, double ditch. Who was coaching and who was
7:14
Speaker 3: calling the place when they built those double digit leads?
7:17
Speaker 2: He gets no credit building the leads the fourth quarter.
7:20
Speaker 4: Well, okay, games aren't one of the first half, buddy,
7:23
Speaker 4: they're one in the second.
7:24
Speaker 2: Hand can be lost in the first half.
7:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they can't be one.
7:32
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can, Billy,
7:34
Speaker 3: and we've seen it right now.
7:35
Speaker 4: Yeah.
7:39
Speaker 2: What was your next point, Dave?
7:40
Speaker 4: But the main one was on the defensive coordinators. Mala
7:44
Speaker 4: Flunk has not hired to namy one coordinator.
7:47
Speaker 6: I'm sure he can name one that he has hired.
7:49
Speaker 6: Us done any good? Pre posted after Okay, Jimmy Jeff.
7:53
Speaker 3: Miami you texted us and said that Lafleur wouldn't hire
7:58
Speaker 3: a defensive cordner who's any good because he'd be concerned
8:01
Speaker 3: about the guy being a threat to take his job,
8:03
Speaker 3: as he just hired a guy who was the second
8:06
Speaker 3: coach taking off the board behind Harbaugh.
8:08
Speaker 2: And the coaching one year what are you talking about.
8:11
Speaker 1: And hired a guy as a special teams coordinator that
8:14
Speaker 1: had just interim head coached the team playoffs.
8:17
Speaker 2: One year later, What do you mean one year later.
8:19
Speaker 4: He hired him.
8:20
Speaker 6: He didn't hire him back in Boston College when he
8:22
Speaker 6: was fired. I mean he was good.
8:24
Speaker 3: Definitely wasn't fired at he left Boston College.
8:28
Speaker 2: He got out of college. Yeah he did.
8:30
Speaker 4: He was. He was released by everybody. No, he was.
8:34
Speaker 1: He was head coached, he was head coaching the Raiders
8:36
Speaker 1: and took him interim coach, took him to the playoffs,
8:38
Speaker 1: and then got bounced because they because it was an interim.
8:41
Speaker 4: Get torched in Miami.
8:44
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, But your premise is that Lafleur won't hire
8:47
Speaker 3: a good is raheem Morris a threat to him because
8:49
Speaker 3: he's coached in the past.
8:50
Speaker 2: That's one of his bud.
8:53
Speaker 4: I want Morris and guys like that. But he's not
8:55
Speaker 4: going to hire Morris because he's going to be fired. Man, floor,
8:58
Speaker 4: I don't know what Ed was thinking. And mediocrity and consistency,
9:02
Speaker 4: and for those individuals who.
9:03
Speaker 6: Believe in believe in losers, you can't get better when
9:07
Speaker 6: you believe in consistency you.
9:10
Speaker 1: Can't get so you've got a bottom up, so you
9:13
Speaker 1: want to see the fiery so they would get better,
9:15
Speaker 1: So they would get better when they fired Matt Laflorida, where.
9:17
Speaker 4: They brought the best quarterbacks in football, you're not going
9:20
Speaker 4: to go.
9:21
Speaker 3: Now, Okay, you just said you can't get better if
9:24
Speaker 3: you're you're.
9:25
Speaker 4: Buffalo about them out now, it's buffaloing the bottom out.
9:29
Speaker 4: I have the best quarterback football.
9:30
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. I don't know that they're going
9:32
Speaker 1: to be better than they are right now. I don't
9:34
Speaker 1: know they're going to be better than they are right now.
9:36
Speaker 1: And when you when you take the swing at what
9:39
Speaker 1: you said is consistency and complacency, uh are are the
9:43
Speaker 1: same thing. You've seen teams time and time again try
9:46
Speaker 1: to go bigger and win bigger. Because they went to
9:49
Speaker 1: the playoffs and it wasn't good at HUT and then
9:50
Speaker 1: they hire Matt Patricia.
9:53
Speaker 4: That comes down into management, not individual individual. That comes
9:56
Speaker 4: down to who's organized, who's managed it. Green Bays in
9:59
Speaker 4: trouble because you don't have an owner up there who
10:01
Speaker 4: makes decisions.
10:02
Speaker 2: So you don't anything going on. Is what you say,
10:05
Speaker 2: is what you're basically saying, so you don't have the power.
10:08
Speaker 3: The general manager or the head coach is not going
10:11
Speaker 3: to be successful because they don't have a quarterbacks go
10:14
Speaker 3: So you prefer the Jimmy Haslim situation in Cleveland to
10:17
Speaker 3: the package.
10:18
Speaker 4: The last seven years? Well, how have they lost every years? Consistency?
10:22
Speaker 4: How they lost? How's the organization done to me? Repay
10:26
Speaker 4: that and replace the failures? Uh, don't ever run a business.
10:29
Speaker 2: This is won in the last seven years. Outside of
10:32
Speaker 2: the chiefs.
10:32
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter.
10:33
Speaker 2: I don't know it does. If you're analyzing it, doesn't
10:36
Speaker 2: it matter, Dave, doesn't it matter?
10:42
Speaker 6: Years?
10:44
Speaker 2: Okay, So super Bowl? Would you fire Kyle Shanahan because
10:48
Speaker 2: he hasn't gotten home yet?
10:54
Speaker 4: People? Is now what you did for me five, six,
10:56
Speaker 4: seven years ago? If you last I was pasted him,
11:01
Speaker 4: I was passed him by see later.
11:03
Speaker 2: All right, fire them all, then fire him out. Okay,
11:05
Speaker 2: would you fire?
11:06
Speaker 4: Uh?
11:06
Speaker 3: Well, should Detroit fire Dan Campbell because he's hit a ceiling?
11:10
Speaker 4: Oh? Oh my god.
11:11
Speaker 6: Dan Campbell should have been gone a long time ago
11:14
Speaker 6: after after what he did consistent.
11:16
Speaker 2: He did getting him to the championship game.
11:19
Speaker 4: All yeah, okay, yeah, but what but what do you
11:21
Speaker 4: do when he got there, he totally blundered it. You
11:24
Speaker 4: can't continually make.
11:26
Speaker 2: Hey, who are the good coaches in football?
11:28
Speaker 4: Make mistakes?
11:29
Speaker 2: Who are the good coaches in football? Who are the
11:31
Speaker 2: good coaches in football?
11:34
Speaker 4: I'm talking about consistent ones.
11:36
Speaker 1: Yes, And I asked, yes, it's consistent of making the
11:38
Speaker 1: playoffs six out of seven years?
11:40
Speaker 2: Is that consistent?
11:41
Speaker 4: I like Mike.
11:41
Speaker 6: I like Mike Griggel because the guy out in New England,
11:45
Speaker 6: he took a fourteen team and now the buck to.
11:47
Speaker 2: Go over the How did you like Mike Rabel when
11:49
Speaker 2: in Tennessee? Yeah?
11:51
Speaker 4: Okay, sobel Yeah, you might as well have been coaching Madison.
11:56
Speaker 4: I'll falling, we're coaching Tennessee.
11:58
Speaker 2: Okay, what about besides the guy who's good? You just
12:01
Speaker 2: said you fire him? I asked you, if you get
12:03
Speaker 2: rid of you fire.
12:04
Speaker 4: Him, hang on, hang on prior to this year and
12:08
Speaker 4: all the injuries to guys, how many odd championship games
12:10
Speaker 4: you've been to this year? No, After a while, people
12:15
Speaker 4: gets old. You're turning to coming me ask two guys.
12:18
Speaker 6: Are you guys satisfied with mediocrity in Green Bay? I
12:21
Speaker 6: don't believe that.
12:21
Speaker 1: No, And David, this is the part. This is the part.
12:24
Speaker 1: This is what we disagree on. I don't believe they're mediocre.
12:28
Speaker 1: That's the part we disagree.
12:30
Speaker 4: Straight years is that what you define a success?
12:33
Speaker 5: Straight?
12:34
Speaker 2: Seven straight years? Okay, Dave, appreciate it.
12:36
Speaker 1: Seven straight years of an over six hundred winning percentage
12:38
Speaker 1: is not what I define as mediocre.
12:40
Speaker 4: What I would define is number joceber mm hmm.
12:44
Speaker 2: September through December, Nochember through December.
12:46
Speaker 6: Nobody cares. January is what anybody cares about. Seven You're
12:51
Speaker 6: happy with seven straight years.
12:52
Speaker 4: Of how they've lost and does nothing to improve it.
12:56
Speaker 4: Come on, you're smarter than.
12:57
Speaker 2: That, No, Dave, I am.
12:58
Speaker 1: I absolutely because you also said that the development of
13:01
Speaker 1: the young quarterback that they drafted in there and developed
13:04
Speaker 1: is one of the top ten players at the position.
13:07
Speaker 2: That also goes to the head coach, doesn't it.
13:10
Speaker 4: And look what he Look what he's done with the
13:11
Speaker 4: last seven years.
13:13
Speaker 2: He's only been starting for three.
13:17
Speaker 4: How many years have they wanted people? January? That's all it.
13:20
Speaker 2: Matter, Dave, I get it, Okay, all right, I'm done
13:23
Speaker 2: with this. I'm so done with this. I don't know
13:25
Speaker 2: how to make me let this last so long.
13:27
Speaker 1: I appreciate and I really do appreciate the the consistency
13:31
Speaker 1: to it. But if you're gonna see of his illogic,
13:33
Speaker 1: but if you're gonna if you're gonna clump all seven
13:35
Speaker 1: years together, but then say you've only had this chance
13:38
Speaker 1: with this quarterback. He's only been the quarterback for three
13:41
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, and this one's only been the quarterback
13:45
Speaker 1: for three of them. So if we are gonna judge
13:47
Speaker 1: it the same way that then they do it with
13:49
Speaker 1: Lamar and uh John Harbaugh or Sean McDermott, and with
13:53
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. They got a full seven year runway with
13:56
Speaker 1: that quarterback. Now, I don't believe any of us thought
13:59
Speaker 1: in your twe that Rogers was going to be the
14:03
Speaker 1: player that we had just watched in twenty twenty in
14:06
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one elevate the team throughout the regular season
14:10
Speaker 1: and be the MVP quarterback that you had watched for
14:13
Speaker 1: those years.
14:14
Speaker 2: They had to kind of flip the pace, so that
14:16
Speaker 2: part of it.
14:17
Speaker 1: I struggle to tie all of them together as one
14:21
Speaker 1: seven year run. Like these other guys with one MVP quarterback,
14:25
Speaker 1: you also have one young quarterback that we all believe
14:27
Speaker 1: is very, very good I think he just came off
14:30
Speaker 1: of the best year of his career and then to say,
14:34
Speaker 1: all right, what we're gonna do is now change everything
14:37
Speaker 1: around you. I don't believe that puts that young quarterback
14:40
Speaker 1: in the best opportunity, in best position to succeed in
14:43
Speaker 1: winning a title that you're ultimately trying to do and
14:45
Speaker 1: win in January, which he said is the only thing
14:48
Speaker 1: that matters. Nobody here is disagreeing that the playoffs is
14:51
Speaker 1: what matters. You can only win in the playoffs if
14:55
Speaker 1: you get to the damn Dance. And there's a lot
14:58
Speaker 1: of teams that have not even come close to being
15:01
Speaker 1: in the dance. And what you're asking them to do
15:04
Speaker 1: is take the chance at going from a team that
15:08
Speaker 1: is going to have a guaranteed spot damn near in
15:10
Speaker 1: the tournament to being a fifty to fifty proposition if
15:14
Speaker 1: you make And that's why they're not mediocre. I agree.
15:16
Speaker 2: And to red Hot to Knot's point, what Madison fault
15:19
Speaker 2: to not deserve that straight?
15:20
Speaker 4: That was?
15:20
Speaker 2: That was That was a shine, no doubt about it.
15:23
Speaker 3: Dave is like Dave's like the aound guy on the
15:28
Speaker 3: teeter totter. You're getting on one end and it's tilted
15:32
Speaker 3: one way, and he gets on the other side.
15:34
Speaker 2: And it tilts the other way.
15:35
Speaker 3: He either wants his team to win the super Bowl
15:38
Speaker 3: or go oh to seventeen and get tank and get
15:40
Speaker 3: a draft pick.
15:40
Speaker 2: And and and build that way.
15:42
Speaker 3: He doesn't care about anything else, like the journey or
15:46
Speaker 3: just the idea that in order to win a super
15:49
Speaker 3: Bowl you actually, like Billy said, you have to kind
15:50
Speaker 3: of make the playoffs first.
15:52
Speaker 2: You have to be good consistent.
15:54
Speaker 3: And again I like the consistency because when until just
15:59
Speaker 3: recent vintage, when the Packers stopped winning division titles, back
16:03
Speaker 3: when they were winning division titles not winning Super Bowls,
16:05
Speaker 3: people say, well, what differences make winning the division if
16:07
Speaker 3: you don't win in January? Like Dave said, now those
16:11
Speaker 3: people have reframed their their view and say, well, he
16:14
Speaker 3: can't even win the division anymore.
16:15
Speaker 2: This is a debacle.
16:17
Speaker 3: You didn't care about the division before because it wasn't
16:19
Speaker 3: didn't lead to the super Bowl.
16:20
Speaker 2: He didn't lead to the Super Bowl.
16:21
Speaker 1: Chris and Lodi, and now you guys have gotten your
16:23
Speaker 1: fill of David Monona that we've dealt with for decades.
16:26
Speaker 2: Yes, that was fun, that was fun lot more. Yeah,
16:30
Speaker 2: but it's at some point it's I don't know.
16:32
Speaker 3: Dave is very steadfast in his opinions, but it's like
16:35
Speaker 3: kicking the crutch away from tiny tim there. His arguments
16:38
Speaker 3: are so house of cards ish if you ask him
16:41
Speaker 3: about Shanahan or would you fire Dan Campbell because he
16:44
Speaker 3: said his ceiling he missed January that matters.
16:47
Speaker 2: Well, should have been fired years ago.
16:51
Speaker 3: And then he said, what has Dan Campbell done except
16:54
Speaker 3: go to a franchise that had no hope with fans
16:57
Speaker 3: wearing bags over their heads for thirty years and gave them,
17:00
Speaker 3: gave them a surge of pride in the Honolulu One Pride,
17:05
Speaker 3: and they they've been incredible, but it's not good enough.
17:08
Speaker 3: But I agree that it's just like that guy who's
17:10
Speaker 3: always gonna be thumbs down.
17:12
Speaker 2: No always.
17:12
Speaker 5: I mean, if the Packers don't have an owner, they
17:14
Speaker 5: will never be successful, like their whole entire franchise history.
17:17
Speaker 5: They've never bet the franchise in the history of But
17:21
Speaker 5: that's not the issue, I guess.
17:23
Speaker 3: And then yeah, I'd rather have Jimmy haslam be, you know,
17:26
Speaker 3: go get to Sean because that's rational.
17:30
Speaker 4: Coach.
17:31
Speaker 2: They did make a big move.
17:32
Speaker 5: Do people still forget they made a big move to
17:34
Speaker 5: try and improve on their playoffs standing and try and improve.
17:37
Speaker 2: His big complaint is what are they done. They're like,
17:38
Speaker 2: that's why you go get a Micah.
17:40
Speaker 3: Parsons, That's why that's and that undercuts the whole They're
17:43
Speaker 3: satisfied with mediocrity, are they? So they went and got
17:47
Speaker 3: Micah Parsons to be mediocre and to sell jerseys so
17:50
Speaker 3: that they could be And.
17:52
Speaker 1: Again I also disagree with mediocre. To me, mediocre is
17:56
Speaker 1: the teams that are are seven to ten or like
18:00
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys who were seven to eight and one,
18:02
Speaker 1: and the teams that end up not into the turn that,
18:05
Speaker 1: to me is the mediocre one. Now, I think this
18:06
Speaker 1: one's interesting for Mike Witt because he goes I'm not.
18:09
Speaker 2: As heated as Davis.
18:10
Speaker 1: However, I do have a hard time rewarding Matt after
18:13
Speaker 1: the twenty one to three loss. Still, I think he's
18:16
Speaker 1: a good coach though, and Mike, Mike and I are
18:18
Speaker 1: in the same vantage point, right, And I think that's
18:21
Speaker 1: the part of it where you do almost have to
18:23
Speaker 1: separate the two drew right, it's not a reward for
18:27
Speaker 1: what transpired in the final five games. And this is
18:31
Speaker 1: where I think this would take a lot of truth
18:34
Speaker 1: serum and maybe as we'd like to say, and I
18:37
Speaker 1: want to adopt this from Dream Kibbi one, you know,
18:40
Speaker 1: with beers on the table, I think we'd be able
18:42
Speaker 1: to openly say I don't think the packers ever meant
18:46
Speaker 1: for it. I don't believe ed policy ever planned for
18:49
Speaker 1: this to be. We're making a declaration on Matt Lafleur's
18:54
Speaker 1: job security every single week when he made the statement
18:58
Speaker 1: of yeah, I don't really like lame duck guys, right,
19:01
Speaker 1: So I don't even believe the contract extension here was
19:04
Speaker 1: a reward for what happened in twenty twenty five. The
19:07
Speaker 1: contract extension was because his contract was up and you
19:11
Speaker 1: weren't going to go get another one. I do believe
19:13
Speaker 1: that's a part of it where you almost have to
19:15
Speaker 1: separate it. It's not a reward, and I'm totally with you.
19:19
Speaker 1: I also struggled to think how you came back after
19:21
Speaker 1: the twenty one to three. But if you're able to
19:24
Speaker 1: separate it from it's not a reward for the finish
19:28
Speaker 1: of the season or for what you did in this year.
19:31
Speaker 1: It's a totality and an understanding of we're better off
19:35
Speaker 1: together than we are apart, which I do believe. For
19:38
Speaker 1: a week, and maybe for an hour or two throughout
19:41
Speaker 1: that week, I think both sides allowed themselves to think
19:43
Speaker 1: of last week. I think both sides allowed themselves to think, Matt,
19:47
Speaker 1: if I'm in Atlanta, or if I'm with cam Ward
19:50
Speaker 1: in Tennessee, or if I go and hang out in
19:53
Speaker 1: South Beach and I'm running up against Drake mayin company
19:56
Speaker 1: and the Patriots and Josh Allen and Buffalo, Or if
20:00
Speaker 1: I'm right here with the group that I have right
20:02
Speaker 1: now and a quarterback that I think I can continue
20:04
Speaker 1: to elevate and ascend with. I think that's the That's
20:07
Speaker 1: the conversation that we're having with some of the teams,
20:09
Speaker 1: and some of them have openings to David Monona's point,
20:12
Speaker 1: who do you consider mediocre in the NFL?
20:15
Speaker 2: Miami, Tennessee, Cincinnati.
20:19
Speaker 5: Good examples, Dallas, Dallas, I'd say Pittsburgh for a while.
20:22
Speaker 3: He Commy's Washington. There's a middle class like there's there's
20:26
Speaker 3: also like the Saints right now and the Giants and
20:29
Speaker 3: the Jets and the Browns.
20:31
Speaker 2: That's the dregs. But those teams that are mediocre.
20:34
Speaker 3: They don't enter every season with Super Bowl aspirations and
20:37
Speaker 3: people realistically saying, if everything liigns up, this team could
20:40
Speaker 3: go to the super Bowl. Like they just don't have that,
20:42
Speaker 3: whereas in Green Bay you do. We say it every
20:45
Speaker 3: year like well and not just us. It's not us
20:48
Speaker 3: being like Shills because you watch these Nationals sos. Yeah
20:51
Speaker 3: the Packers can, Yeah they could.
20:52
Speaker 4: Again.
20:53
Speaker 1: The other one is for me, like you, you look
20:55
Speaker 1: around the division and I think if Kevin O'Connell as
20:57
Speaker 1: one of the best examples and these one of the
21:00
Speaker 1: best coaches in the game, I think he's shown that
21:02
Speaker 1: every single year that he's had a healthy and competent
21:05
Speaker 1: quarterback playing the position.
21:06
Speaker 2: There.
21:06
Speaker 1: However, I guess you would have to consider them mediocre
21:10
Speaker 1: or him bad because he has not won a playoff game.
21:12
Speaker 1: Ben there twice has not won one. So like it's
21:15
Speaker 1: a it's a tough spot to roll through and and
21:19
Speaker 1: feel that kind of disappointment when you're not that spot
21:24
Speaker 1: now Tyler in nine two oh and I totally agree.
21:27
Speaker 1: I will say this, I do miss playoff games at Lambeau.
21:29
Speaker 1: You got to get those when you win the You
21:31
Speaker 1: get those when you win the division, and that was
21:34
Speaker 1: again their case in points goal the stated goal for
21:38
Speaker 1: this year. They got close, did not finish it, but
21:41
Speaker 1: again improved significantly off of the year prior to when
21:45
Speaker 1: you were a fingernail away from getting swept in the
21:48
Speaker 1: division where you were above five hundred in the division
21:52
Speaker 1: including the playoffs four and two with an asterisk because
21:54
Speaker 1: he laid down in the last game. Yeah, four and
21:58
Speaker 1: three if you include the playoffs, you know, but again
22:01
Speaker 1: four and three I would consider above five hundred that
22:03
Speaker 1: I don't put it in mediocre, but there's a difference.
22:05
Speaker 3: YEA love it eight seven seven seven nine three.
22:09
Speaker 2: We need your hot takes, get them to us.
22:11
Speaker 3: I don't know if we can top the Southwest Airlines
22:14
Speaker 3: hot take, but we'll try that.
22:16
Speaker 1: That is, dude, that's a really, really tough hot take.
22:20
Speaker 1: Can I hit you with one before we go.
22:22
Speaker 2: To a time? Absolutely hot take.
22:25
Speaker 1: I did the least amount of work and thought that
22:28
Speaker 1: I was really grinding this morning when I decided that
22:31
Speaker 1: I was going to take the shovel go all the
22:33
Speaker 1: way down the tire path of the driveway to be
22:36
Speaker 1: able to clear. You cleared a tire path for yourself.
22:38
Speaker 1: I cleared a tire path for myself.
22:40
Speaker 2: Now, that's absolutely like, least I have to do it.
22:43
Speaker 2: That's the most fake hustle. I got a hot take.
22:48
Speaker 2: I should have just driven on it. What are you doing?
22:51
Speaker 5: I mean, I get the idea if you drive, once
22:53
Speaker 5: you drive over the snow, it does paken and with
22:57
Speaker 5: this freezing cold, you ain't get that up though. But
22:59
Speaker 5: that's that's what spring is for. But business, that's crazy.
23:03
Speaker 1: When I when I was pushing that, when I was
23:05
Speaker 1: pushing that shovel, I'm like, holy cow, I am.
23:08
Speaker 2: I'm a next level thinker. I'm playing chess, not checkers.
23:11
Speaker 1: They don't realize that was the That was the softest
23:13
Speaker 1: grind that you constantly gonna have.
23:14
Speaker 5: But at least you did something like it was early.
23:16
Speaker 5: I didn't do anything except drive, drive.
23:18
Speaker 2: Bet too bad.
23:19
Speaker 3: I already moved out of my house and downsize to
23:21
Speaker 3: a condo because I could have given you my uper
23:23
Speaker 3: Scooper Billy, the big metal, stainless steel shovel on wheels
23:27
Speaker 3: that you used to move a lot of snow.
23:28
Speaker 5: At the time, the big West Admirals ice pushersaking.
23:32
Speaker 2: We're gonna have greeny necks though, good? How about these ones?
23:36
Speaker 5: I'm seeing now where they're basically like little snow snowblowers
23:41
Speaker 5: on shovels, where people are pushing a shovel on the
23:44
Speaker 5: snow throws electrically by its side.
23:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, sat Lee Olsen manor West had a big driveway
23:49
Speaker 3: and I had kind of the Lady Nariko, the snowblower
23:53
Speaker 3: that was not made for heavy duty. It was made
23:55
Speaker 3: for like tiny little you know, people who live in
23:58
Speaker 3: Kentucky or Tennessee.
23:59
Speaker 2: When you get the you were shaving an Armenian beer
24:01
Speaker 2: with a micro touch max. I was exactly what I
24:04
Speaker 2: was doing. I think that's what I was doing. Armand yes,
24:07
Speaker 2: that's all right.
24:08
Speaker 3: When we come back, our buddy John Greenberg, president of
24:10
Speaker 3: Milwaukee Admirals, is going to join the program. Got to
24:13
Speaker 3: ask him what's happening with this club? What's on tap?
24:15
Speaker 3: And old Baby? I want to ask about Emo Knight.
24:18
Speaker 3: I'm Triday.
24:18
Speaker 2: How that was.
24:19
Speaker 3: Something with Billion Armond presiding on the jumbo tron for
24:23
Speaker 3: Emo Night.
24:24
Speaker 2: He is up next something else. You're in the huddle.
24:28

24:51
Speaker 5: H Yes, you're right about that, John Greenberg, President, I
24:55
Speaker 5: was just setting other program.
24:58
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, armed for God, It's okay, it's kind of long.
25:01
Speaker 2: Maybe you know. I was just setting you up for that. Okay,
25:04
Speaker 2: all right, there you go on your toe.
25:07
Speaker 3: I mean when we talked to Bill Schruder, if we
25:09
Speaker 3: don't play that dancing Queen song, he.
25:10
Speaker 2: Won't even talk to hang up.
25:12
Speaker 3: Sean Greenberg knows that what we're up against. Greeney, welcome
25:15
Speaker 3: to the program.
25:17
Speaker 4: Good morning. You know I don't buy it a little
25:19
Speaker 4: entered the stand man. That's quite all right.
25:20
Speaker 2: It's a pretty good walk up to a good third
25:23
Speaker 2: period song for this.
25:24
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the closer in John Greenberg closing
25:27
Speaker 1: out the program.
25:29
Speaker 3: De's and walk up song give you a lot what
25:30
Speaker 3: that's true. It's talking about its admirals against Grand Rapid.
25:34
Speaker 3: Juwel here on nine to twenty in Milwaukee on Fox
25:37
Speaker 3: Sports Radio Wisconsin and Greeney, I gotta start because when
25:40
Speaker 3: last we spoke, it was a week ago. It was
25:42
Speaker 3: in the afternoon, seems like a month ago. And Uh,
25:45
Speaker 3: we were talking about Emo Knight at the Old Barn
25:48
Speaker 3: and Billy and Arman I saw the pictures. They looked amazing.
25:51
Speaker 3: How did Emo Knight treat you and your fans?
25:55
Speaker 4: It was epic, It really was was. It was probably,
26:00
Speaker 4: you know, one of the best promotional things I see
26:03
Speaker 4: us do in at the least the last ten years.
26:06
Speaker 4: I Uh, I was really impressed. Our team really went
26:10
Speaker 4: all in and the crowd responded to it was a
26:13
Speaker 4: it was a different kind of crowd. Like we saw
26:15
Speaker 4: a lot of people we probably have not seen it
26:17
Speaker 4: a game before, and we hope we give them some
26:21
Speaker 4: you know, we get some return business out of that.
26:23
Speaker 4: But from beginning to end, and you know, Harmon and
26:26
Speaker 4: Billy were, they were in character. It was we got
26:29
Speaker 4: all stuff. There's no question.
26:31
Speaker 5: You got to commit to the bit, as someone once
26:33
Speaker 5: told me early out of my career. And uh, you know,
26:37
Speaker 5: I was thinking about that as I was putting the
26:39
Speaker 5: dog collar on and I was putting the other what
26:42
Speaker 5: was the other, you know, the wig on and all
26:44
Speaker 5: these things in the lip rings. I said, I was
26:46
Speaker 5: thinking about that. You get to commit to the bit,
26:48
Speaker 5: and we sure did. I mean, but you're absolutely right
26:50
Speaker 5: there was a There was a great crowd there and
26:52
Speaker 5: a different vibe, and I thought it really worked well
26:54
Speaker 5: with you, Billy as well.
26:56
Speaker 2: To add the hair in your face the whole time.
26:57
Speaker 2: I don't know how you were doing those hits in
27:00
Speaker 2: those cous and just just trying to get in and
27:02
Speaker 2: be a little bit emotional.
27:03
Speaker 1: But I was more worried that people were going to
27:05
Speaker 1: be distracted by Armann looking so dang good over there.
27:08
Speaker 4: Anyway.
27:08
Speaker 1: Wait, we're trying to play professional ice hockey. You don't
27:11
Speaker 1: want somebody being distracted from Marmon sorry and actually looking
27:14
Speaker 1: like a member of all American regions.
27:16
Speaker 2: That was my altar there on the wall. Yeah, that's
27:18
Speaker 2: my alter ego for sure. So it was it was
27:20
Speaker 2: a lot of fun.
27:22
Speaker 3: And tonight, Greeny, another match against Grand Rapids, the team
27:25
Speaker 3: that you're that you're looking up at.
27:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think we're all going to be
27:30
Speaker 4: looking up at them this year. I think, well, you know,
27:33
Speaker 4: we've kind of gotten to the point where we don't
27:35
Speaker 4: expect a big collapse out of that team, and so
27:38
Speaker 4: you know, we're working at getting the second place. I
27:41
Speaker 4: think that's what the goal is for everybody else in
27:43
Speaker 4: the division at this point, But that doesn't mean that, yeah,
27:46
Speaker 4: you don't go out there and try and beat those games.
27:49
Speaker 4: We've played Grand Rapids really well this year. We're one
27:52
Speaker 4: of the few teams that can say that. I expect
27:56
Speaker 4: another good performance tonight. It is a crazy travel thing.
27:59
Speaker 4: We were just there on Saturday, came back on Sundays
28:02
Speaker 4: and you know, practice here on Monday, got back on
28:05
Speaker 4: the bus yesterday. I went back there and it's uh,
28:08
Speaker 4: you know, then after tonight the guys will we're gonna
28:11
Speaker 4: bust to Chicago to get down a plane tomorrow to
28:15
Speaker 4: go to Minnesota to get ready to play outside on
28:18
Speaker 4: Friday night. So it's a crazy week.
28:20
Speaker 3: Okay that that Friday night game the outside. The Jerseys
28:23
Speaker 3: love the sweaters, but it's going to be it's in Hastings, Minnesota.
28:26
Speaker 3: It's five o'clock face off, and I think it's going
28:29
Speaker 3: to be in the minus eight to minus ten range.
28:31
Speaker 3: Is there a stranger that it's too cold to play
28:34
Speaker 3: outdoor hockey?
28:35
Speaker 2: Is it a thread at all?
28:37
Speaker 4: Uh? No, We've we've had some calls to weather calls
28:40
Speaker 4: and yeah, it's going to be cold. I don't think
28:42
Speaker 4: there's any questioned about that. Both teams want to play,
28:46
Speaker 4: and so we have another weather call today and there
28:50
Speaker 4: are the good news is for the fans that are coming,
28:53
Speaker 4: and those people are in Minnesota, Hardy and I know
28:55
Speaker 4: we've got quite a few admirals fans are making the
28:57
Speaker 4: trip over there. But there are heated tenths behind the bleachers,
29:02
Speaker 4: giant tents that people can come, you know and get
29:04
Speaker 4: out of the cold for a while. So if you
29:05
Speaker 4: want to watch hockey for a few minutes and then
29:07
Speaker 4: get out of the cold. You know, we're gonna work
29:09
Speaker 4: on this. Heated benches for the players, heated booths for
29:15
Speaker 4: for broadcasts and things, so Aaron won't sound like a popsicle,
29:19
Speaker 4: you know, trying to call the game. So it's gonna
29:22
Speaker 4: be unique. It may end up being the coldest professional
29:24
Speaker 4: hockey game ever played. Wow, you know, it's going to
29:28
Speaker 4: be a very unique setting. But the guys are are
29:31
Speaker 4: excited for this, and you know, I think when we
29:34
Speaker 4: get there and have our workout tomorrow afternoon that you know,
29:38
Speaker 4: they'll get a little sense of it. Albeit it's supposed
29:40
Speaker 4: to be above zero tomorrow, so it'll be a little
29:43
Speaker 4: bit of a different set thing when we get there
29:45
Speaker 4: on Friday night.
29:45
Speaker 1: Well, and it's going to be different, and it's difficult
29:47
Speaker 1: to forecast, not being never doing it before, but Greeny
29:52
Speaker 1: looking at it, you guys are going to play in
29:54
Speaker 1: potentially like minus thirty degree Winshills while I'm looking at
29:58
Speaker 1: a stadium series advertisement for a game is gonna be
30:02
Speaker 1: played in Tampa and and I mean, I guess I
30:05
Speaker 1: don't know what the possibilities and the logistical hurdles with
30:09
Speaker 1: that one are, but I would assume it's better to
30:11
Speaker 1: play in the frigid subarctic cold than impossible temperature of
30:18
Speaker 1: Tampa in February, where all of a sudden it hits
30:20
Speaker 1: sixty and you have more problems with the ice.
30:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, we won't have an ice problem. There is no
30:26
Speaker 4: questions about that. You know. I think somebody, if you
30:29
Speaker 4: know you want to buy a beer, you better probably
30:30
Speaker 4: it's one of those things that you know, sometimes you
30:33
Speaker 4: want to get a beer, what you gotta drink it
30:34
Speaker 4: so it doesn't get warm. We will not have that
30:36
Speaker 4: problem on Friday.
30:37
Speaker 2: No problem, you got.
30:40
Speaker 4: So it's uh, it's gonna be a really interesting experience.
30:44
Speaker 4: And yeah, you can hear it here on you know,
30:48
Speaker 4: Fox Sports nine twenty and Aaron will have the call
30:51
Speaker 4: and he'll, i'm sure, be giving lots of color of
30:53
Speaker 4: what it's like to be in that environment. And then,
30:57
Speaker 4: you know, if people want to watch the game, Sports
31:00
Speaker 4: is actually putting that out there as a free event,
31:03
Speaker 4: so you can go to Flow. You can go to
31:04
Speaker 4: Flow and you can watch and get get what it's like.
31:07
Speaker 4: And I'm looking forward to seeing it. It's going to
31:10
Speaker 4: be beautiful. I will tell you that it'll be cold,
31:12
Speaker 4: but it's going to be beautiful.
31:14
Speaker 2: It's gonna be pretty sweet.
31:15
Speaker 3: John Graeenberg, President of the Admirals, joining us here Milwaukee
31:17
Speaker 3: Admirals dot Com, the website. And then are you guys
31:20
Speaker 3: going to travel with the Iowa wild Back for the
31:23
Speaker 3: home game on Saturday night at Panther Arena.
31:27
Speaker 4: No, it's it's a bus. It's a bus race. So
31:30
Speaker 4: we're going to see it. We're going to see you know,
31:32
Speaker 4: I'm sure that you know, after what will be an
31:36
Speaker 4: interesting shot, this is gonna be weird, interesting showering experience
31:40
Speaker 4: for both teams because the showers are kind of kind
31:43
Speaker 4: of sort of outside.
31:44
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'm skipping.
31:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they're you know, they'll go and quickly rinse
31:50
Speaker 4: themselves off and hop on the bus, and you know,
31:53
Speaker 4: my guess is, if everything goes well, they should be
31:55
Speaker 4: back on the road by eight fifteen or eight thirty
31:58
Speaker 4: and you're hopefully here by twelve thirty or one o'clock,
32:02
Speaker 4: and I'm sure that that'll be a sleepy bus on
32:05
Speaker 4: the way back. I'm sure this is going to take
32:07
Speaker 4: a lot out of guys to go through this, but
32:09
Speaker 4: same for both teams. And then we're back here on
32:12
Speaker 4: Saturday to play at six o'clock indoors, so it'd be great.
32:17
Speaker 4: But both teams are wearing the same uniform on Saturday night,
32:21
Speaker 4: so we can see what those uniforms look like in person.
32:24
Speaker 4: And we're auctioning our jerseys off, which has already started.
32:28
Speaker 4: That auction is going. I can go to our website
32:30
Speaker 4: to learn more about that, but proceeds from not are
32:33
Speaker 4: going to go to the Powerplay Foundation as well as
32:35
Speaker 4: to the United Heroes League, which is the organization that
32:39
Speaker 4: is putting on this scheme, is part of Hockey Day
32:41
Speaker 4: and Minnesota, so it's a great chance to get what
32:45
Speaker 4: will be probably a historic jersey because playing in that
32:48
Speaker 4: temperature will be something that may never be done again.
32:52
Speaker 3: Speaking of jerseys, aren't you giving away youth jerseys on Saturday.
32:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, one thousand for kids, so it's the first the
33:00
Speaker 4: kids fourteen and under, we'll get a replica of the
33:03
Speaker 4: jersey that we're wearing for the outdoor game thanks to
33:06
Speaker 4: our friends and Children's Wisconsin. So get there early. Love.
33:11
Speaker 5: That's the kind of game out my dad with a
33:13
Speaker 5: major Owls they were at for sure, no doubt.
33:16
Speaker 2: Yes, do you do you guys issue?
33:19
Speaker 3: I remember you guys the traveling party when we see
33:22
Speaker 3: your players and stuff, great sweatsuits, track suits like that's
33:25
Speaker 3: the hockey kind of uniform off ice and for bus rides.
33:28
Speaker 2: I'm sure.
33:29
Speaker 3: But do you guys have the big parkas and things
33:32
Speaker 3: like ball teams would have. Do you have that stuff?
33:35
Speaker 3: Did you have to order it special? What's the equipment situation?
33:37
Speaker 3: Like I imagine this is like more you have to
33:39
Speaker 3: take more equipment to this game than you would to
33:42
Speaker 3: any other.
33:42
Speaker 4: I would think, Yeah, we're actually taking us an actual
33:47
Speaker 4: truck to take all of our stuff with us on
33:49
Speaker 4: this as opposed to a normal road trip where they
33:51
Speaker 4: would just get all the equipment underneath the bus and
33:54
Speaker 4: keep moving. So here we've got a truck that's leaving
33:57
Speaker 4: today to go to Minnesota with the extra equipment, and
34:00
Speaker 4: our equipment guys have done an unbelievable job about having
34:04
Speaker 4: stuff that's ready to go. So uh there's heated heated
34:08
Speaker 4: jackets for the staff and and coaches, and uh uh,
34:13
Speaker 4: there's lots of under you know, under gear that's special
34:17
Speaker 4: for playing out the cold, lots of handwarmers, you know,
34:21
Speaker 4: lots of Aqua four for the faith and good one
34:24
Speaker 4: gaters and all that kind of dumb. So our guys
34:27
Speaker 4: have done a really great job of I'm getting our
34:30
Speaker 4: guys prepared to do this.
34:32
Speaker 2: You going to be taking us one and on slow hockey?
34:34
Speaker 4: Are you?
34:34
Speaker 2: Are you going to be You're gonna be on the bench.
34:36
Speaker 2: You mean that heated booth next to Aaron.
34:39
Speaker 4: I will be wherever the closest heater is is.
34:42
Speaker 3: Where President Yeah l himself, where it's going to be warm.
34:50
Speaker 2: That's going to be epic, absolutely epic.
34:51
Speaker 5: Pretty cool though, And it takes a lot to pull
34:54
Speaker 5: off to prepare the equipment and all that stuff the
34:56
Speaker 5: staff and you've got the right.
34:57
Speaker 2: Organization for it. You guys are doing a great job.
34:59
Speaker 3: Pick it's available for Saturday night, Milwaukee Admirals dot Com.
35:03
Speaker 3: Six o'clock face off against the Iowa Wild. They always
35:06
Speaker 3: had it, but never feared Iowa Wild. In a back
35:08
Speaker 3: to back outdoors in Hastings, Minnesota, Saturday night at Panther Arena, A.
35:12
Speaker 2: Feeling there might be some feisty folks on us fun.
35:16
Speaker 2: I'd be okay for fighting, Greedy. Thanks for joining us man.
35:18
Speaker 2: We appreciate it absolutely.
35:20
Speaker 4: Thanks, congratulations on the new show.
35:22
Speaker 2: Thanks Greedy training. We're digging it.
35:25
Speaker 3: John Greenberg, President of Milwaukee Admirals Milwaukee Admirals dot com.
35:29
Speaker 2: This is like Mystery Alaska, the movie Come to life.
35:31
Speaker 3: That's the thing, and I'm wandering like truth be told.
35:34
Speaker 3: You know, we have this romantic notion of kids growing
35:37
Speaker 3: up playing pond hockey and stuff shinny playing outside when
35:40
Speaker 3: it's cold like this.
35:41
Speaker 2: I bet most elite hockey players never play outside. No,
35:44
Speaker 2: probably not anymore.
35:47
Speaker 1: The the I don't believe there are a whole lot
35:49
Speaker 1: of backyard ponds that people we were able to play
35:53
Speaker 1: in unless you're hanging out by somebody version of Kelly
35:56
Speaker 1: Lake over here in Hailes.
35:57
Speaker 3: Canada and stuff like that. It's like, yeah, true, you
36:00
Speaker 3: wonder how they grow up. It's like having a hoop
36:02
Speaker 3: in the driveway. If you're aau kid time you're going
36:05
Speaker 3: to games and practices, and you're like.
36:07
Speaker 1: I had one buddy growing up whose dad would flood
36:09
Speaker 1: the backyard. Not the whole backyard, but they had they
36:12
Speaker 1: had the concrete slab ACKed a rink yard. Enough of
36:15
Speaker 1: her rank, they put up the little bit of borders,
36:17
Speaker 1: and uh, your boy was too fat to skate, so
36:20
Speaker 1: that that wasn't happening. However, if indeed you needed a goalie,
36:25
Speaker 1: I was a dangerous cat. I was wearing tennis shoes
36:28
Speaker 1: and I was just gonna have one knee down, just
36:30
Speaker 1: trying to block whatever I could and try to flinch
36:33
Speaker 1: one knee. Don good blockers, saying right out of the gates, I'm.
36:37
Speaker 2: Not letting want to go five hold on.
36:38
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's funny because you're like too fat
36:41
Speaker 3: to skate. It's like already laying from the Stern Show.
36:43
Speaker 3: His autobiography was called Too Fat to Fish.
36:46
Speaker 2: Told his mommy's going fishing. She said, you're too fat
36:49
Speaker 2: to fish? Like what does that mean?
36:52
Speaker 5: Then you're trying to convince your mommy go to Dunham's
36:54
Speaker 5: and my goalie pads, and she's like, why do you
36:56
Speaker 5: need these.
36:56
Speaker 2: Why do you need this? Because I want to play
36:58
Speaker 2: at Brents Because this week in the driveway we were playing. Yeah,
37:01
Speaker 2: We've played one time and now I'm going to the NHL.

38:26
Speaker 3: and you got a hot.
38:27
Speaker 2: Take for us.
38:28
Speaker 5: I do have a hot take, and this is one
38:29
Speaker 5: obviously I put out there on on Twitter a couple
38:32
Speaker 5: of days ago, so I guess it's pretty obvious. My
38:34
Speaker 5: hot take is the Bears will not God five hundred
38:37
Speaker 5: next year. I asked people to bookmark me, and boy
38:40
Speaker 5: have they. I think got like over a thousand book marks.
38:42
Speaker 5: Pretty nasty work by these Bear fans who've been coming
38:44
Speaker 5: at me in my mentions.
38:45
Speaker 2: I'm also one of those. But as bes Bilt, yeah
38:47
Speaker 2: you are, which is great. I love the energy.
38:49
Speaker 5: Keep you to it because I want to be you know,
38:51
Speaker 5: I'm not going to run from the smoke if I'm wrong.
38:53
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, But.
38:53
Speaker 5: As Billy likes to say, I do ask for it
38:56
Speaker 5: a little bit on these Twitter streets sometimes, so that
38:59
Speaker 5: is my main hot take right there.
39:00
Speaker 1: So he just walks in and just asks for all
39:03
Speaker 1: the shots.
39:05
Speaker 2: I mean, he's just like, excuse me, I want to smoke.
39:08
Speaker 1: Some way too nice of the Tuesday Wednesday morning for me,
39:11
Speaker 1: I definitely need to have more venoms spewed at me
39:14
Speaker 1: from south of the border. And I really am glad
39:17
Speaker 1: somebody's here for it. I'm glad that he's ready to
39:19
Speaker 1: do it, and he does it every single week. Jonah
39:21
Speaker 1: nerver falls fired in a hot take here Drew, and
39:23
Speaker 1: it's it's a hot one to have here today. As
39:25
Speaker 1: much as I hate to say it, still prefer minus
39:27
Speaker 1: ten then one hundred degrees outside.
39:29
Speaker 2: I don't believe that a million.
39:30
Speaker 5: I want to know these people that are coming with
39:32
Speaker 5: that energy. I really don't believe you, and put your
39:36
Speaker 5: money where your mouth is. You're gonna go outside and
39:38
Speaker 5: hang out to No, I'm sorry. Yeah, it's hot one,
39:40
Speaker 5: it's one hundred degrees, but it's a lot more pleasant
39:42
Speaker 5: than this.
39:42
Speaker 2: I And every summer they do this to me. Billy
39:45
Speaker 2: and they come with this argument, I would still much
39:47
Speaker 2: rather sleep in this, oh, because the home's heated, Because
39:51
Speaker 2: your home's heated, and they're.
39:53
Speaker 1: Correct, But in the air conditioning and when it's hot outside,
39:55
Speaker 1: you can only take off so many layers. You can
39:57
Speaker 1: always put another blanket on, you can always put another's
39:59
Speaker 1: pair socks on, you can always put a sweatshirt on.
40:02
Speaker 2: It's much different. That's where I'd rather be cold than hot. Yeah,
40:05
Speaker 2: But if you can regulate your home temperature either way,
40:08
Speaker 2: does it? Sometimes we're not able to do that, Armin. Okay, fine,
40:11
Speaker 2: I understand not everyone.
40:13
Speaker 5: Has the ability. Most people can eat their homes all
40:15
Speaker 5: right in the winter, right.
40:16
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes it's tougher to be able to cool in
40:20
Speaker 1: the summer. Sometimes you break the air conditioning unit and
40:23
Speaker 1: you haven't fired into your twenty twenty six this tradition
40:27
Speaker 1: and New Year's resolution of being able to fix stuff yourself.
40:31
Speaker 2: Okay, that fair enough. I have multiple weeks where you're
40:34
Speaker 2: sitting there with no AC.
40:35
Speaker 1: Would you add, that's still where I was definitely saying
40:37
Speaker 1: the exact same thing Jonahs saying, where I was craving
40:40
Speaker 1: for a day like today.
40:41
Speaker 5: Well, there's a reason an ac unit's not necessary, But
40:44
Speaker 5: a furnace is.
40:45
Speaker 2: That's all I'm gonna say. You need to eat your home.
40:48
Speaker 5: You don't need to cool it, okay, because nobody would
40:50
Speaker 5: rather have their furnace break now than the air conditioner
40:52
Speaker 5: in July.
40:53
Speaker 2: That's I'm sticking with it, Billy. We can argue about
40:55
Speaker 2: this till the end of time. No, I'm you can.
40:57
Speaker 2: You can have your opinion. I got mine. You don't
40:59
Speaker 2: have to dis credit my opinion.
41:00
Speaker 1: I don't know why you gotta be so condescending, like
41:02
Speaker 1: people are saying on the.
41:03
Speaker 2: Talking text line, We're doing what I disagree with, folks,
41:06
Speaker 2: discredit opinion. Hey, Tom Pellisero.
41:11
Speaker 3: Just in the last minute, the Bills requested an interview
41:13
Speaker 3: with Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Yudinsky for their head coaching job.
41:17
Speaker 3: He's got a second interview with the Browns job on Friday.
41:20
Speaker 6: Is any of that?
41:21
Speaker 1: And he looks like the Johnny Manziel angel figure right
41:27
Speaker 1: Like if there was the angel in the devil on
41:29
Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel's shoulder, Grant Yadinsky is the angel thirty years old.
41:33
Speaker 1: Thirty years old? Correctly, yes, folks, and he is. He's
41:36
Speaker 1: been deemed like the next one. He's been deemed the
41:39
Speaker 1: next wonder child of of pro football guy. And you
41:43
Speaker 1: listen to him talking, I understanod. I love listening to
41:46
Speaker 1: him talking. Broke down a Jacoby Myers round concept that
41:50
Speaker 1: I was sitting there with my jaw dropped. He's a
41:53
Speaker 1: fascinating study. They I think they would want him in
41:56
Speaker 1: Cleveland because they could pair him with a veteran defensive coordinator. However,
42:03
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz seems like he ain't keeping that defensive coordinator
42:05
Speaker 1: job unless he's the head coach. So it's it's a
42:09
Speaker 1: wild spot Drew where the offensive side has gotten gutted
42:12
Speaker 1: so much over the last number of hiring cycles that
42:15
Speaker 1: they're going to thirty year old guys that worked with
42:17
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence for a year and they won eleven games.
42:20
Speaker 3: If you're an NFL coach, and you can call Liam
42:22
Speaker 3: Cohen an old man, like.
42:24
Speaker 2: What the hell, what are we even doing? Totally different
42:26
Speaker 2: piece Sam, Liam Cohen's like thirty nine.
42:29
Speaker 1: That's why there's so many defensive guys getting hired because
42:31
Speaker 1: they haven't gotten hired for five or six cycles, I suppose,
42:35
Speaker 1: and that's why they're grabbing one year off of you
42:37
Speaker 1: called place for seventeen games.
42:39
Speaker 2: Get on, didn't hear him?
42:40
Speaker 3: We are ahead, coach. It can't be that bad. Well,
42:42
Speaker 3: when Cohen came for through the Rams and then.
42:46
Speaker 1: And then the Bucks, and then he was with Tampa
42:47
Speaker 1: and he was Baker's i think third offensive coordinator he
42:51
Speaker 1: had in three years.
42:53
Speaker 3: Hey, we get to do this again tomorrow at five am.
42:55
Speaker 3: But hopefully it'll be an easier drive in and drive home.
42:58
Speaker 3: Drive safely out there. Shout out to our plow people
43:00
Speaker 3: and snow removers and people who work outside when it's
43:03
Speaker 3: this freaking cold out.
43:04
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be cold getting gas today. I should have
43:07
