- 1:43Speaker 5: If you've got a proposition for us, m lay it
- 1:46Speaker 5: on us. Are you buying or selling? Are you buying
- 1:50Speaker 5: or selling that you're okay to run the gas out
- 1:53Speaker 5: of the snowblower?
- 1:54Speaker 2: Now you're good. Now I'm buying it, Drew. I'm buying tomorrow.
- 1:57Speaker 6: We're on to April, and I'm doing it this weekend, right,
- 2:00Speaker 6: I think this weekend in the midst of smoking the
- 2:02Speaker 6: big old Christmas Easter ham pause with a no, okay,
- 2:08Speaker 6: smoking a ham on the trigger? Yeah, I thought I
- 2:12Speaker 6: said I was smoking a sausage length and maybe it
- 2:14Speaker 6: would make a little bit more sense. We're smoking an
- 2:16Speaker 6: Easter ham smoking the meat and uh at that, we're
- 2:19Speaker 6: gonna get some beautiful aroma going with some cherry wood
- 2:23Speaker 6: and then with some beautiful fossil fuels, and we're gonna
- 2:25Speaker 6: burn that gas right on out of there.
- 2:26Speaker 2: I think you're good to do it.
- 2:28Speaker 7: Although it might, it might snow again, it might at
- 2:30Speaker 7: least flurry again, but not to the point where you
- 2:33Speaker 7: just can't let it nature ticket its course and melt.
- 2:35Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I would say. Yeah, that's because
- 2:37Speaker 2: it's gonna be cold.
- 2:38Speaker 5: I mean, it's not gonna be like four, but it
- 2:40Speaker 5: won't like if we got one of those weird five
- 2:43Speaker 5: inch snow dumpings, it'd be gone in a day.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Which we got in eighteen. We got April twenty eighteen.
- 2:48Speaker 7: The second week we got a pretty decent snowfall and
- 2:50Speaker 7: lasted three or four days.
- 2:51Speaker 2: How do you remember that?
- 2:52Speaker 7: I remember because I remember because my dad had heart
- 2:55Speaker 7: surgery that week, and and I remember it being kind
- 2:58Speaker 7: of a significant week. And I remember thinking, while it's
- 3:00Speaker 7: weird that it's snowing so much this week, And I
- 3:02Speaker 7: was thinking to myself, you know, I, in all the
- 3:05Speaker 7: midst of what was going on, do I have to
- 3:07Speaker 7: go and do his driveway and all those things.
- 3:09Speaker 2: But can I just leave it here? Honestly, it was
- 3:12Speaker 2: I do remember that time. Yeah, we're all worried, we
- 3:14Speaker 2: were all.
- 3:15Speaker 3: But.
- 3:17Speaker 2: No, I appreciate it. Everything's good.
- 3:18Speaker 7: But but I I remember just you know, the snowfall
- 3:22Speaker 7: because it melted in a few days though, but it
- 3:23Speaker 7: took a few days, so it's possible. But we'd get
- 3:26Speaker 7: through it, I think without it. So I think you're
- 3:28Speaker 7: good to run the snowblower down, but you're not gonna
- 3:31Speaker 7: Well there's a chance you're weighing some gas and you
- 3:34Speaker 7: know me, I'm trying to conserve at all times.
- 3:37Speaker 2: No, actually, I think I will do it. That's a
- 3:39Speaker 2: good idea. I will. I will do it. I'll run
- 3:41Speaker 2: this snowblower.
- 3:42Speaker 4: Run.
- 3:42Speaker 6: Don't do it if you're not comfortable with it, right,
- 3:44Speaker 6: We don't want you. We want you to be not comfortable.
- 3:46Speaker 6: We want you to be comfortable.
- 3:47Speaker 2: In your role, all right. We want you to know.
- 3:49Speaker 6: Your role and be confident and play to the best
- 3:52Speaker 6: of your ability. And that's where my first buyer cell
- 3:54Speaker 6: comes in here, guys, because I'm buying first off, if
- 3:58Speaker 6: they sold prints of it, I might buy picture of that.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Coaches picture that they take at the owners meeting.
- 4:06Speaker 6: Matt Lafleur and Mike Lafleur's parents, I would assume would
- 4:09Speaker 6: like a big, old one that they could have in
- 4:11Speaker 6: a canvas print, because those two gentlemen right front and
- 4:16Speaker 6: center next to the Harbob Brothers as the NFL put
- 4:18Speaker 6: them right next to each other. But are you guys
- 4:20Speaker 6: buying or selling the quote from Matt Lafleur yesterday that
- 4:24Speaker 6: it did play a part in the lack of late game.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Success for the Packers.
- 4:29Speaker 6: If I'm gonna be honest with you, I think there
- 4:31Speaker 6: were some guys that were upset about their roles last year,
- 4:34Speaker 6: and I think it took a toll on our football team.
- 4:36Speaker 6: You need guys to bring that energy, great energy every day,
- 4:40Speaker 6: and I think from a coaching standpoint, role clarity is key.
- 4:44Speaker 6: So we've got to obviously do a better job communicating
- 4:46Speaker 6: to our players, Hey, here's your role. If you're unhappy
- 4:49Speaker 6: about your role, it's on you to do something about
- 4:52Speaker 6: it to carve out a new role on this football team.
- 4:54Speaker 6: But yeah, the buy in is absolutely critical, getting guys
- 4:58Speaker 6: in there that are juiced and ready to go to
- 5:01Speaker 6: work each and every day.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Is going to be critical for us you're buying or selling.
- 5:06Speaker 6: There was maybe some more rifts and some more anger
- 5:08Speaker 6: in that Packers locker room.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Well, I thought, is it a role thing?
- 5:12Speaker 5: I mean that Rashan Gary can't play a certain amount
- 5:15Speaker 5: of snaps? Is it like you know, and that other
- 5:17Speaker 5: guys are on him about its conditioning? That's not a
- 5:19Speaker 5: role thing, but we don't know. Yes, I'm buying that
- 5:25Speaker 5: that can happen. But it's also strange to hear a
- 5:28Speaker 5: coach talk about that, because isn't that like the coach's
- 5:30Speaker 5: job to create the culture where guys know their roles
- 5:33Speaker 5: and are competing within and are in a positive way.
- 5:36Speaker 5: And when you win games obviously, when you lose.
- 5:38Speaker 2: All bets are off.
- 5:39Speaker 5: And they did lose, and the snowball rolled down the
- 5:43Speaker 5: hill and got bigger, But it's kind of the coach's job.
- 5:47Speaker 5: So isn't that kind of like a self indictment there?
- 5:49Speaker 6: There was there's clearly a lot of ownership taken. I
- 5:52Speaker 6: thought there where it was like, hey, I have to
- 5:54Speaker 6: do a better that kisses people off. I gotta starts
- 5:56Speaker 6: with me and starts with me. But but that was
- 5:59Speaker 6: a roundabout way I thought drew of just admitting exactly
- 6:02Speaker 6: what you said, of like, hey, I need to set
- 6:04Speaker 6: this a lot clearer. And I wonder if some of
- 6:06Speaker 6: that is going to be inherent when you bring in
- 6:09Speaker 6: the best player on your football team a week and
- 6:11Speaker 6: a half before they play a game, right, Like Michael
- 6:14Speaker 6: Parsons comes in and is immediately the best player on
- 6:17Speaker 6: your team. True, and for that to be sweet now
- 6:20Speaker 6: it's kind of Micah's team. I wonder if that was
- 6:23Speaker 6: a riff that was not maybe nipped in the butt
- 6:25Speaker 6: early and were there you know, obviously the guys who've
- 6:28Speaker 6: left at are Squeaking Romeo Dobbs and kway Walker.
- 6:32Speaker 2: They were very hey guys, were they?
- 6:34Speaker 5: Guys like kway Walker was never really happy I don't
- 6:37Speaker 5: think with his kind of role, right.
- 6:39Speaker 6: Which was strange because he was given the green Dowton
- 6:41Speaker 6: being able to run the entire.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Defense, yet they don't.
- 6:44Speaker 6: He doesn't want to be that, I guess so, but
- 6:47Speaker 6: he had that opportunity multiple different times. And Dobbs, I
- 6:50Speaker 6: think we've kind of had an idea that he'd be
- 6:52Speaker 6: upset potentially with his role because we saw the situation
- 6:56Speaker 6: that happened in twenty twenty four I don't know that
- 6:58Speaker 6: he was. I think he understandably believe that he's a
- 7:02Speaker 6: one thousand yard receiver and never really got the touches
- 7:05Speaker 6: for it.
- 7:05Speaker 2: But the.
- 7:07Speaker 6: Clear and concise understanding of this is what you're expected
- 7:11Speaker 6: to do, and we're gonna count on you to do
- 7:13Speaker 6: it each and every week, Drew. I think there's there's
- 7:15Speaker 6: a lot to it that it is the coach, and
- 7:17Speaker 6: I wonder if some of it was what we all
- 7:20Speaker 6: saw play out in the clunkiness of their offense in
- 7:23Speaker 6: the middle of the year, right like understanding, hey, this
- 7:26Speaker 6: is when you can be expecting the football, this is
- 7:28Speaker 6: this can be when you can expect your three to
- 7:31Speaker 6: four touches, not just when Tucker Craft's gonna bail us
- 7:34Speaker 6: out in the Pittsburgh game, because that kind of was
- 7:36Speaker 6: their offense into October was let's keep it close and
- 7:40Speaker 6: then throw the ball to Tucker Craft and see if
- 7:42Speaker 6: it will work out.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Well.
- 7:43Speaker 7: It's also interesting because at the end of the year
- 7:45Speaker 7: before it was a lot of well, there might have
- 7:47Speaker 7: been a leadership void in this locker room.
- 7:49Speaker 2: There might have been you know, we need to have
- 7:51Speaker 2: guys that are more.
- 7:51Speaker 7: You know, leadership serious, and things like that, and then
- 7:55Speaker 7: at the end of this year, you heard Michael Parson saying,
- 7:57Speaker 7: guys at the look in the mirror and see what
- 7:58Speaker 7: they're gonna do to make this team better? So are
- 8:00Speaker 7: there were there more turmites in the wood than you
- 8:03Speaker 7: realize when you realize that the foundation might not have
- 8:06Speaker 7: been as strong, But we only hear that after the loss.
- 8:09Speaker 7: Like so it's like it's almost like everything seems to
- 8:11Speaker 7: be good, but we don't realize there are these underlying
- 8:14Speaker 7: issues under the surface that seemed to come to light
- 8:17Speaker 7: once the team loses, and then in the off season
- 8:19Speaker 7: we're talking about it. I'm like, all right, so what's
- 8:21Speaker 7: the real story here? What's it really like? Is they're
- 8:23Speaker 7: really a leadership void? Was it really a kumbai in
- 8:25Speaker 7: the locker room?
- 8:26Speaker 3: Was it not?
- 8:26Speaker 7: And how much does that affect the pride to the
- 8:28Speaker 7: field because the team was winning both years until they
- 8:31Speaker 7: weren't and then it was like, well what happened here?
- 8:33Speaker 5: You know, are you buying or selling at Policies saying
- 8:36Speaker 5: he was shocked that there was even a question that
- 8:38Speaker 5: he was going to extend Matt Brian How could he
- 8:42Speaker 5: have been shot?
- 8:42Speaker 2: I mean that's a floor.
- 8:44Speaker 7: I mean he must have thought that himself after that loss.
- 8:46Speaker 7: I think everyone had to.
- 8:47Speaker 5: Policy players sought him out to support la floor mm hmm.
- 8:52Speaker 5: He said that they are the right duo to lead
- 8:54Speaker 5: the Packers to a Super Bowl. Policy stress the importance
- 8:57Speaker 5: of weighing entire ten years of lafleur and goodecounts rather
- 8:59Speaker 5: than making an emotional decision off one game or a
- 9:01Speaker 5: few games. His quote was, I always believed you don't
- 9:04Speaker 5: make football decisions out of emotion.
- 9:06Speaker 2: I agree, but that mean he's never gonna get fired.
- 9:08Speaker 5: Now you have seven years, You had seven years to evaluate,
- 9:13Speaker 5: and it's like, do you throw out, you know, discount
- 9:15Speaker 5: that and go on the one game that they blew
- 9:18Speaker 5: a lead against the Bear.
- 9:19Speaker 6: I think I think in all reality, he's mostly shocked,
- 9:23Speaker 6: because I would buy that he's a little bit shocked
- 9:25Speaker 6: as to how big of a story the comments that
- 9:28Speaker 6: he made in the beginning of the year became, and
- 9:30Speaker 6: the backdrop of the entire season that it became when
- 9:34Speaker 6: he kind of again first time in the position being
- 9:39Speaker 6: the head decision maker and the president of the organization,
- 9:42Speaker 6: when he says, I don't like lame ducks, so we're
- 9:46Speaker 6: something's gonna happen. I don't know that he anticipated and
- 9:49Speaker 6: I think he was more shocked Drew that every single
- 9:51Speaker 6: time they lost, it felt like people were calling us
- 9:54Speaker 6: on Packers Otis saying, are they gonna ask him if
- 9:57Speaker 6: he thinks he's gonna get fired today? Because this is
- 9:59Speaker 6: this is ridiculous.
- 10:00Speaker 7: I think that was maybe where he would come to
- 10:03Speaker 7: the shot level. Well that at Policy have a word
- 10:05Speaker 7: with our pal match Sneidman for saying that, you know,
- 10:08Speaker 7: lu was coaching for his job. You know, in essence
- 10:12Speaker 7: and pro sports, everybody's coaching for their job every day.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Every day, every week.
- 10:15Speaker 6: Yeah, you can always you can always get hired in
- 10:17Speaker 6: fire And that's where I would push back on like
- 10:18Speaker 6: that He's not going to get fired. But I do
- 10:20Speaker 6: think he looks at it and says we have one
- 10:22Speaker 6: of the better coaches in football. I'm kind of surprised
- 10:25Speaker 6: people want him fired because they lost on the string
- 10:29Speaker 6: on out.
- 10:29Speaker 5: Are you buying or selling the idea that Goody Policy
- 10:35Speaker 5: and Lafleur could have met with folks in Green Bay
- 10:40Speaker 5: and not make people fly to Arizona to get these
- 10:42Speaker 5: The first interview with Matt Lafleur like this, the Circus
- 10:46Speaker 5: that they've created that we have to cover this and
- 10:47Speaker 5: like the owner, the owners me should be just meetings, right,
- 10:51Speaker 5: do they have to be covered?
- 10:52Speaker 2: And like do they oh there's news out of there droo. Yeah.
- 10:55Speaker 5: Well and if I'm a reporter and I was for
- 10:57Speaker 5: many years, like yeah, yeah, I want to go to Phoenix.
- 10:59Speaker 5: I gotta be where they actual and more. Yeah, built
- 11:01Speaker 5: more and cruise around her. You know, I used to
- 11:04Speaker 5: my condo and spring training used to be right next
- 11:06Speaker 5: to the Biltmore is pretty amazing.
- 11:08Speaker 6: That's a nice spot, but it's nestled right in between
- 11:12Speaker 6: all the spots you want to be.
- 11:13Speaker 5: They create this, and it's like now the owners meeting,
- 11:16Speaker 5: we went from the combine, Like now coaches don't go
- 11:19Speaker 5: to the combine, Like, couldn't have done this?
- 11:21Speaker 2: Like do we need that?
- 11:22Speaker 5: They're feeding the beast, they're shoveling coal in the furnace,
- 11:25Speaker 5: they're the top dogs, they're the number one sport. But
- 11:28Speaker 5: having the local, you know, the conversation, having it here
- 11:31Speaker 5: would have been fine.
- 11:32Speaker 2: With me more than anything. Drew.
- 11:34Speaker 6: I think it's I think it's ridiculous that you haven't
- 11:36Speaker 6: heard from the head coach after he signs the contract extension.
- 11:41Speaker 6: After they hired a defensive coordinator and they hired a
- 11:45Speaker 6: new special teams coordinator after a surprising exit again quote
- 11:50Speaker 6: unquote surprising because everybody was expecting him to get gassed,
- 11:52Speaker 6: then for three weeks he doesn't, and then he leaves
- 11:55Speaker 6: like all of those. I'm more surprised that it took
- 11:59Speaker 6: until now for us to finally hear from the head
- 12:01Speaker 6: coach since the day after they lose to the Chicago
- 12:05Speaker 6: Bears like that one to me is sunning. Now, you
- 12:08Speaker 6: guys buying or selling the fact that, uh Rich Bassacia
- 12:13Speaker 6: never gave Matt Lafleur the answer, and frankly, Matt never
- 12:17Speaker 6: cared the quote, was never had that direct conversation with
- 12:20Speaker 6: him when asked why special teams coordinators Rich Bassachia stepped down,
- 12:24Speaker 6: But he came into me after we got back and
- 12:27Speaker 6: was just hoping that we'd have a different feeling.
- 12:31Speaker 2: The guy's done it for a long time.
- 12:33Speaker 6: I don't want to speak for him, but I think
- 12:35Speaker 6: a lot of it has to do with getting closer
- 12:37Speaker 6: to being back home his home base. Obviously, his family
- 12:40Speaker 6: is important to him. He's got ties down in Florida,
- 12:42Speaker 6: so I think that was a big reason, as to why.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm selling that.
- 12:46Speaker 7: I'm sorry, there's no way you asked him in that
- 12:48Speaker 7: conversation at all. Doesn't come up. Why do you want
- 12:51Speaker 7: to leave? There is no way. I mean, it's you
- 12:54Speaker 7: don't have to tell us.
- 12:55Speaker 2: I get it. It's just I just that's my opinion.
- 13:00Speaker 2: I sell. I'm selling that. I'm selling that.
- 13:02Speaker 7: And if they didn't have the conversation, then that's a
- 13:04Speaker 7: bigger that's a bigger red flight to what the relationship
- 13:07Speaker 7: was in the first place. If you can't even talk
- 13:09Speaker 7: about it with some of you're close to in the building,
- 13:11Speaker 7: that's my opinion.
- 13:12Speaker 2: You're buying or selling.
- 13:13Speaker 5: Goody's comment on Jordan Morgan his first couple of years
- 13:16Speaker 5: in the league, the way we had to move him
- 13:17Speaker 5: around to do what's best for the team probably wasn't
- 13:19Speaker 5: the best for him. I'm excited for him to maybe
- 13:22Speaker 5: stay in one place. We'll see if that transpires. Yeah, yeah,
- 13:26Speaker 5: I am buying that, because when the guy comes.
- 13:28Speaker 6: In playing two thousand snaps at left tackle, and we
- 13:33Speaker 6: always want to be smarter, and we always want to
- 13:35Speaker 6: look at the arm frame and the length and the size,
- 13:38Speaker 6: and you watch the guy's feet, you can tell that
- 13:41Speaker 6: he plays tackle right like, you can tell that that
- 13:43Speaker 6: is the position that he's going to be most comfortable with.
- 13:45Speaker 6: And there's a reason why guys hate flipping from the
- 13:48Speaker 6: right side to the left. And the joke is it's
- 13:51Speaker 6: like wiping with your other hand. There's a reason why
- 13:54Speaker 6: you wipe with one hand, because you're good at it.
- 13:56Speaker 6: You might not be good with the other hand.
- 13:58Speaker 3: And I think.
- 14:00Speaker 6: Succinctly with the punching his with his timing and the
- 14:04Speaker 6: leverage plays, you can tell he's much more comfortable playing
- 14:08Speaker 6: left tackle. And I think there's been a this is
- 14:13Speaker 6: how we do business in Green Bay. We're always gonna
- 14:16Speaker 6: cross train, and I think this year, in this offseason,
- 14:19Speaker 6: in particular Drew, you've seen the Packers maybe change up
- 14:22Speaker 6: some of their old school practices, signing three different players
- 14:26Speaker 6: that now quickly become.
- 14:27Speaker 2: Five of the oldest guys on their roster, five or
- 14:30Speaker 2: ten of.
- 14:31Speaker 6: The three out of the top oldest players on their roster,
- 14:34Speaker 6: and Hard Graves Saint justin company.
- 14:36Speaker 2: Then you double it down with we like.
- 14:40Speaker 6: Belton, he plays tackle, we'll move him over to right tackle.
- 14:43Speaker 6: But he's only gonna play right side during camp. Okay, well,
- 14:45Speaker 6: why is he different? Than the guy that you took
- 14:47Speaker 6: in the first round two years ago. Then he's the
- 14:50Speaker 6: right guard and we're just gonna put him at right guard.
- 14:52Speaker 6: I think there might be some course correction on what
- 14:56Speaker 6: if we make them proficient and good at one spot,
- 15:00Speaker 6: then we try to build off.
- 15:01Speaker 2: On the utility. That's interesting because not everyone's TJ.
- 15:05Speaker 6: Lang where you can bump around three different spots and
- 15:07Speaker 6: play that all in one game.
- 15:08Speaker 5: Yeah, it was an interesting year on the offensive line
- 15:13Speaker 5: for a lot of reasons. But the thing to me,
- 15:15Speaker 5: the most interesting story arc was the Sean Ryan like
- 15:17Speaker 5: going from I know I'm out of here to all
- 15:19Speaker 5: of a sudden, Oh, I got the extension.
- 15:21Speaker 2: Extension. Yeah, that was pretty much. That was wild and
- 15:24Speaker 2: Goody addressed that yesterday too.
- 15:26Speaker 6: And to know that you have a guy like Ryan
- 15:29Speaker 6: who clearly you you wanted to extend. You want to
- 15:34Speaker 6: have your draft picks stay with you. You want your
- 15:37Speaker 6: draft picks to be guys that you can consistently keep.
- 15:41Speaker 6: But for Ryan, he was as up and down as anybody.
- 15:44Speaker 6: And and frankly, Drew I just didn't see it right,
- 15:47Speaker 6: Like I hadn't seen that he was going to be
- 15:49Speaker 6: that player for him, But for Goody to be able
- 15:51Speaker 6: to come out and feel confident in him going forward.
- 15:54Speaker 6: That's that's a huge boost for that young man to
- 15:57Speaker 6: be able to roll through. It you buying Goody's on
- 16:00Speaker 6: Rashan Gary that they were pretty down with bringing him back.
- 16:04Speaker 6: The question was, were you surprised that you got a
- 16:06Speaker 6: fourth round pick for Rashan Gary. A tough part about
- 16:10Speaker 6: Rashawn is he's such a good player. But I think
- 16:12Speaker 6: you're gonna go into a football team. He made quite
- 16:14Speaker 6: a bit of sense, quite frankly. A guy with sixty pressures,
- 16:18Speaker 6: seven and a half sacks, and a guy you can
- 16:21Speaker 6: count on consistently. There are not a lot of those
- 16:24Speaker 6: guys in the National Football League. He's still a pretty
- 16:26Speaker 6: young player, probably his best football still ahead of him.
- 16:30Speaker 2: So I'm not surprised at all.
- 16:32Speaker 6: Oh my going to move on from him unless we
- 16:36Speaker 6: could get something that made sense for us.
- 16:38Speaker 2: If he sounds like a guy he'd love the trade.
- 16:40Speaker 7: A guy that's young, consistent performer, best days ahead of him.
- 16:44Speaker 7: Let's see what we can get for this guy. Yeah,
- 16:46Speaker 7: I mean, I'm totally buying that. No, I'm sorry, and
- 16:50Speaker 7: I'm by it. Here's the thing about it, though, I
- 16:52Speaker 7: will say this. I think they would be cool bringing
- 16:55Speaker 7: him back if there were no good offers in the
- 16:57Speaker 7: trade and he took a significant pay cut, I think
- 17:00Speaker 7: they would have said, oh, okay, well, yeah, at a bargain,
- 17:03Speaker 7: at a bargain, yeah, exact Franklin.
- 17:05Speaker 6: Yeah, and he took a significant one with the with
- 17:07Speaker 6: the cowboys, he certainly did.
- 17:09Speaker 2: I just so, No, obviously I'm selling that. I don't there.
- 17:13Speaker 5: You go, all right, it's so funny to Billy. It's
- 17:16Speaker 5: time for a little who Who's hot and who's not?
- 17:19Speaker 5: Brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson Heating and Cooling. And
- 17:22Speaker 5: you mentioned it's almost windows open season, and pretty soon
- 17:25Speaker 5: it'll be air conditioning season too.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:28Speaker 6: In this week, you might uh do a little flipping.
- 17:30Speaker 6: You might feel buying as selling. You might do a
- 17:32Speaker 6: little flipping on the heat, flipping on the air. If
- 17:34Speaker 6: you need somebody to fix or replace your furnace or
- 17:36Speaker 6: air conditioner, do you want the owner of a company
- 17:38Speaker 6: or some guy that claims to be.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Well an electrician or maybe he's just a plumber.
- 17:43Speaker 6: Billy Schmid here, guys, the easy choice is to give
- 17:46Speaker 6: the call to the owner and go to Donovan Jorgenson
- 17:48Speaker 6: because they are the largest employee owned a track system
- 17:51Speaker 6: company in the state of Wisconsin for over forty plus years.
- 17:54Speaker 5: Donovan Jorgenson dot com. I'll say, who's hot? Sky Moore
- 17:58Speaker 5: sounds like he's got a legit chance not only be
- 18:00Speaker 5: the punt returner and kick returner for the Packers. They
- 18:03Speaker 5: signed in to some guaranteed cash. He's gonna be on
- 18:05Speaker 5: the team. He's not gonna get McCole hartin it doesn't appear.
- 18:08Speaker 5: And the other guy that's hot, let's just be honest
- 18:10Speaker 5: with it. He's you knew he was going.
- 18:13Speaker 6: To roll in with some more confidence off of the
- 18:16Speaker 6: WBC and Bryce Terrang is just a walking double right now,
- 18:19Speaker 6: and it is nice to have him atop the lineup, Drew.
- 18:23Speaker 6: And if there's the worried about roles that Matt Laflorida
- 18:26Speaker 6: has talked about, maybe we make it pretty clear Bryce Tterrang,
- 18:29Speaker 6: you're gonna be our leadoff hitter until Jackson Cherio gets back.
- 18:32Speaker 6: Then you'll be the two hole hitter after or maybe
- 18:34Speaker 6: you just stay at the top and we just set
- 18:36Speaker 6: it and forget it and roll.
- 18:37Speaker 2: That could be, And he's a cautionary tail on that.
- 18:40Speaker 2: I said it wrong. He's a reminder of what you.
- 18:42Speaker 7: You cautionary tale about giving up on a player ability
- 18:45Speaker 7: too early in terms of what he was as an
- 18:47Speaker 7: offensive player his you know, his first year, in his
- 18:50Speaker 7: first couple of years, here's the guy that's improved offensively
- 18:53Speaker 7: every year. He's become a force in little line up
- 18:55Speaker 7: with his bat. And you know his rookie year when
- 18:57Speaker 7: his glove was good, but he was sitting there at
- 18:59Speaker 7: the five eight mark, everyone was saying, we can't handle
- 19:02Speaker 7: this hole in our lineup. You never know how players
- 19:03Speaker 7: are gonna progress. You don't want to give up on
- 19:05Speaker 7: a guy too early. So that's that's always my favorite
- 19:07Speaker 7: one to think about when I think about guys in
- 19:09Speaker 7: the futures and things like that.
- 19:11Speaker 5: He's a first round pick and his dad played in
- 19:12Speaker 5: the big leagues. It's not a surprise that he's gonna
- 19:14Speaker 5: be good, right, Yeah, it's like he's supposed to be
- 19:16Speaker 5: good som.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Hmm and well.
- 19:18Speaker 6: And the funny thing is they have just been so
- 19:20Speaker 6: bad at first round picks that you're almost surprised that
- 19:23Speaker 6: they end up hitting on one. But the development and
- 19:26Speaker 6: just the simple ballplayer mentality that he has is is
- 19:30Speaker 6: pretty elite the other who's hot?
- 19:32Speaker 2: But now he might not be.
- 19:34Speaker 6: Now it might just be all over for our friend
- 19:36Speaker 6: Joey Weimer, who last night tied the all time record
- 19:41Speaker 6: for reaching base on your first ten played appearances of
- 19:45Speaker 6: a season and a verse ten played appearances with a
- 19:47Speaker 6: brand new team that he was retired back to back times. However,
- 19:52Speaker 6: on base three out of the five of play appearances
- 19:54Speaker 6: last night for the Washington Nationals in the nine hole,
- 19:57Speaker 6: Joey Weimer. There's a reason why people wanted to get
- 20:00Speaker 6: a Joey Weimer haircut. I think we might forgive about
- 20:03Speaker 6: that at American Family feel that they were giving people
- 20:05Speaker 6: Joey Weimer cuts back in the day in the UH,
- 20:08Speaker 6: in the bleachers. He was a fan favorite. And you
- 20:10Speaker 6: want to talk about somebody that you're excited for. I'm
- 20:13Speaker 6: definitely happy that he can find himself in the hot category.
- 20:16Speaker 6: Not very happy Drew that this uh, this Johnny Laduca
- 20:18Speaker 6: guy was definitely hot last night, reaching base on a
- 20:21Speaker 6: walk then hitting the solo shot. Big time onions for
- 20:25Speaker 6: him to be able to score the winning run last night,
- 20:28Speaker 6: and uh, clearly who's hot? Cooper Pratt with a fifty
- 20:30Speaker 6: million dollars him too.
- 20:31Speaker 5: Yeah, we could have just gone Joey Weimer for Who's
- 20:34Speaker 5: hot and Caleb Who's not? Yea for Caleb Durbin drew
- 20:38Speaker 5: a walk in the season opener as part of an
- 20:40Speaker 5: OH for three tough against the Reds, but that was
- 20:44Speaker 5: okay because the Socks won that game. Then he was
- 20:47Speaker 5: oh five, oh four and last night oh for two
- 20:50Speaker 5: in their losses, so the Socks are winning for it.
- 20:52Speaker 7: Caleb Durbin has yet to get a base hit started
- 20:54Speaker 7: the oph in the uh not a good start for him.
- 20:57Speaker 7: Socks fans are not happy about it, but hey, it's
- 20:59Speaker 7: a long year. But yeah, another example, Joy Weiemberg guy,
- 21:01Speaker 7: way to go and never gave up. Turn his thing
- 21:03Speaker 7: around here, See if you can make a career on
- 21:05Speaker 7: of this thing. And you know, another another success story.
- 21:08Speaker 2: Good luck to him.

- 22:26Speaker 5: So how deep are you into baseball? Do you got
- 22:29Speaker 5: the you know, you take a trip every year, You're
- 22:32Speaker 5: you know the Brewers are back. We are four games in.
- 22:35Speaker 5: How deep are you are you a hook line and
- 22:37Speaker 5: sinker on this? Or oh yeah, are you are you
- 22:43Speaker 5: hard down? Preparing for the Milwaukee Film Festival.
- 22:46Speaker 3: I mean that's bullet.
- 22:49Speaker 4: I mean that is that is I mean that I
- 22:52Speaker 4: contain multitudes. So I got a lot of I mean
- 22:56Speaker 4: hockey playoffs as well. For those leave the NBA postseason,
- 23:01Speaker 4: this is happening too well, it's.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Gonna be good. It's the only part that's good.
- 23:04Speaker 6: It's the part that's gonna be good for the NBA,
- 23:06Speaker 6: which which is nice that they need something to go
- 23:08Speaker 6: their way. Yeah, Matt, we talk about drama and we
- 23:13Speaker 6: talk about unintended consequences over the last couple of days.
- 23:16Speaker 6: I don't know that MLB would have thought that the
- 23:19Speaker 6: replay challenge system would bring drama into an atmosphere and energy,
- 23:24Speaker 6: but it's now the largest crowd pop that happens. William
- 23:27Speaker 6: Mtreer sits a home run last night. Awesome place is excited.
- 23:31Speaker 6: It blast off the fireworks. Bernie hits the slide when
- 23:35Speaker 6: they when they wrung somebody up for a called third strike.
- 23:39Speaker 6: Bryce Terrang won that challenge and it was a ball
- 23:41Speaker 6: that place pops like no other. I don't know where
- 23:45Speaker 6: that kind of drama attens, so you can't manufacture that.
- 23:48Speaker 6: But sometimes, like in film, you just stumble upon greatness
- 23:51Speaker 6: and it feels like baseball kind of did with this one.
- 23:54Speaker 4: Yeah. And I was a little nervous about the ABS
- 23:57Speaker 4: thing because I saw it in action in Triple A
- 24:00Speaker 4: like a year or two ago. I think it was
- 24:02Speaker 4: in Durham, Durham, North Carolina, Sey and the Durham Bulls,
- 24:06Speaker 4: and I was a little nervous because you know, with
- 24:08Speaker 4: a lot of these replay things, it really can ruin
- 24:12Speaker 4: the kind of rhythm of the game and the kind
- 24:14Speaker 4: of excitement.
- 24:15Speaker 3: I think a lot about the in the Premier League
- 24:20Speaker 3: and their review system.
- 24:21Speaker 4: Yes, and how you know when they integrated that every
- 24:25Speaker 4: time there was a goal, instead of this like thrilled
- 24:28Speaker 4: pop from the crowd var ar yeah, yeah, instead of
- 24:34Speaker 4: the crowd being like super excited when a goal happened,
- 24:36Speaker 4: there would be an excitement and then an immediate like wait, wait, wait,
- 24:40Speaker 4: we have to let and we have to make sure.
- 24:42Speaker 3: We have to you know what if there was a
- 24:44Speaker 3: brief moment where.
- 24:47Speaker 4: You know, a toothpick gap, the person was off side
- 24:50Speaker 4: by that much, and it kind of ruined the energy
- 24:54Speaker 4: of the game in some cases. And I was worried
- 24:56Speaker 4: with ABS, where it was like, okay, big exciting strikeout
- 24:59Speaker 4: to end an in saying oh wait there's a review. Okay,
- 25:03Speaker 4: the audio the crowd has to like kind of like
- 25:05Speaker 4: maintain their excitement. But thus far from for four or
- 25:10Speaker 4: five games into the season, it seems to be a hit.
- 25:14Speaker 4: And I think part of it is, you know a
- 25:16Speaker 4: lot of in a lot of cases it's bad calls
- 25:18Speaker 4: from umpires, you know, getting corrected correctly, and the crowd
- 25:23Speaker 4: is loving it. And I think going to the tennis
- 25:26Speaker 4: approach of having the kind of like exciting like the
- 25:30Speaker 4: visual of zooming in on where the ball lands, and
- 25:35Speaker 4: it's weirdly good drama.
- 25:37Speaker 3: And hopefully, I mean credit to him, it's worked out
- 25:40Speaker 3: so far.
- 25:41Speaker 4: We'll see at some point there's going to be a
- 25:43Speaker 4: weird ABS thing and we're going to be like, oh,
- 25:45Speaker 4: you know, you win, some you loose.
- 25:46Speaker 3: Or something like that.
- 25:48Speaker 4: But I'm happy it seems to be working out so
- 25:50Speaker 4: far and is resulting in a correct calls and b
- 25:55Speaker 4: somehow even more fun.
- 25:56Speaker 7: It is interesting how it works better in some sports
- 25:58Speaker 7: than others when you know, during the NCAA tournament, some
- 26:01Speaker 7: of these games you've just been so frustrated about the
- 26:04Speaker 7: so many reviews and how long some of them have taken.
- 26:06Speaker 4: So well, yeah, the infamousity the NBA, right, the finals
- 26:11Speaker 4: of a game take fifteen to thirty minutes because oh
- 26:15Speaker 4: the ball went out of bounds, but who did it
- 26:17Speaker 4: go off of? And you know, is the spirit of
- 26:20Speaker 4: the rule that like this, You know, it's I'm not
- 26:25Speaker 4: looking forward to that in the NBA playoffs because that's
- 26:27Speaker 4: the end of every game.
- 26:28Speaker 3: There's very few.
- 26:30Speaker 4: I think that was what was exciting about a lot
- 26:32Speaker 4: of the NCAA tournament games, or at least in the
- 26:35Speaker 4: first round, was that you didn't have too many of
- 26:38Speaker 4: those like, oh man, Jesus, final thirty seconds is thirty minutes.
- 26:42Speaker 4: There was a lot of just like pure back and
- 26:44Speaker 4: forth excitement. I mean, the Wisconsin high point ending wasn't
- 26:48Speaker 4: good for Badger fans, but it was good for people
- 26:51Speaker 4: who enjoyed, you know, just exciting basketball that was happening
- 26:55Speaker 4: in front of your eyes. The buzzer beater with Kentucky, right,
- 27:00Speaker 4: was Kentucky and Santa Clara. You know that there was
- 27:04Speaker 4: that there wasn't this kind of review quagmire that that
- 27:08Speaker 4: broke out, and instead it was just kind of pure
- 27:10Speaker 4: basketball for a while there.
- 27:12Speaker 3: So it's really great so far.
- 27:15Speaker 4: I mean remember last year though, four games and we
- 27:17Speaker 4: were talking about torpedo bats, We're going to revolutionize the
- 27:21Speaker 4: sports baseball and how maybe things would never be the
- 27:24Speaker 4: same again. So for all we know, at the end
- 27:27Speaker 4: of the season, Abs is going to be like, oh no,
- 27:29Speaker 4: what have we done?
- 27:30Speaker 3: What demon have we unleached on our sport? But right
- 27:33Speaker 3: now it rules.
- 27:35Speaker 2: Talking to Matt Miller. He's filling in for Scott Dolphin. Today.
- 27:37Speaker 5: You can find Matt a man about film on the
- 27:39Speaker 5: X and or the Iowahawkeyes. Love your Notre Dame takes
- 27:46Speaker 5: because of your wife, we got that.
- 27:47Speaker 3: That's all right, but yeah I'm married into that, no doubt, no.
- 27:51Speaker 2: Doubt, Matt.
- 27:52Speaker 5: I want to know what your thoughts are because I
- 27:53Speaker 5: mentioned the Milwaukee Film Festival is approaching the Uker doc.
- 27:58Speaker 5: It was a big talk at opening day because the
- 28:00Speaker 5: producers have been making the rounds and doing the media
- 28:02Speaker 5: car wash. Obviously, this is a piece that they were
- 28:05Speaker 5: working on for a couple of years. What do you
- 28:08Speaker 5: expect and what do you think people will get from
- 28:11Speaker 5: this kind of a lasting tribute to an immortal Wisconsin figure.
- 28:16Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's kind of well, there hasn't been a
- 28:18Speaker 4: proper Yuke doc really ever, especially because A he's such
- 28:23Speaker 4: a great storyteller and b he has so many stories
- 28:26Speaker 4: to tell.
- 28:30Speaker 3: Yeah, for those who don't know, this is the opening
- 28:32Speaker 3: night selection at the Milwaukee Film Festival this year, which
- 28:35Speaker 3: is a great choice on their part, and I'm a
- 28:39Speaker 3: looking forward to it. Like I said, I mean, half.
- 28:41Speaker 4: Of the quality of a documentary is choosing the right subject,
- 28:46Speaker 4: and Bob Buker is the perfect subject for a documentary.
- 28:50Speaker 3: Again, what a life he's lived, you know, what a
- 28:53Speaker 3: career he had.
- 28:54Speaker 4: Both you know, obviously in the broadcast booth, but then
- 28:57Speaker 4: you know, you add in the entertainment side of things.
- 29:00Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be super crowd pleasing. It's gonna
- 29:02Speaker 4: get the festival started on the right note in terms
- 29:06Speaker 4: of people you know, coming.
- 29:07Speaker 3: In and and and leaving probably feeling really really good
- 29:11Speaker 3: spirits high.
- 29:13Speaker 4: And also, I mean, you know, the Milwaukee Film Festival
- 29:16Speaker 4: has said this awkward thing where they're competing with baseball.
- 29:19Speaker 4: Basically they're competing with the start of the Brewers season,
- 29:22Speaker 4: and now they kind of get the best of both worlds.
- 29:24Speaker 4: They kind of are like, Oh, don't worry, you're missing
- 29:26Speaker 4: the Brewer game. This over the next two weeks, we'll
- 29:29Speaker 4: see you. You know, you get your Brewer's baseball a
- 29:31Speaker 4: little bit, and then you know, you get to see
- 29:34Speaker 4: the film festival as well. I'm really looking forward to it.
- 29:36Speaker 4: It's it's gonna be a great festival this year. I
- 29:38Speaker 4: already have have napped everything out for myself, and I
- 29:42Speaker 4: hope my pregnant. If that baby of mine be careful,
- 29:48Speaker 4: he better listen. I have never been early for anything
- 29:52Speaker 4: in my life, and this kid better not merely stay in.
- 29:56Speaker 2: We've got the film festival.
- 29:57Speaker 5: It is interesting you should be fine about having a
- 30:00Speaker 5: child right before the draft.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
- 30:03Speaker 7: Yeah, It's interesting how sports and documentary filmmaking have collided
- 30:08Speaker 7: over the decades.
- 30:09Speaker 2: Now.
- 30:10Speaker 7: I mean, once upon a time that you know, I
- 30:12Speaker 7: think the original the original genre of documentaries. Tell me
- 30:16Speaker 7: if I'm wrong. We're about things, you know, life, things
- 30:19Speaker 7: in the world and things like that, and then it's
- 30:21Speaker 7: slowly delved into sports, and then thirty for thirties became
- 30:24Speaker 7: very popular and now sports documentaries have taken on this
- 30:27Speaker 7: whole new life form, some good, some bad. We've talked
- 30:29Speaker 7: about the Untold series on Netflix kind of boring, but
- 30:32Speaker 7: it is amazing how that's kind of those two worlds
- 30:35Speaker 7: have collided.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Man.
- 30:37Speaker 4: Yeah, and you think about Hoop Dreams in the nineties,
- 30:41Speaker 4: a massive doc for its time, And I think what
- 30:45Speaker 4: has been a little sad over these and this is
- 30:47Speaker 4: just documentary in general, not just sports documentaries, is.
- 30:50Speaker 3: How much they've become like sponsored content.
- 30:54Speaker 4: The amount of the amount of these documentaries that come
- 30:57Speaker 4: out that feel like it is just about you know,
- 30:59Speaker 4: brand management, rather than finding a good story and wanting
- 31:03Speaker 4: to tell that story truthfully and honestly and in a
- 31:07Speaker 4: way that is compelling.
- 31:09Speaker 3: That that's kind of sad, and you that's.
- 31:11Speaker 4: Across I mean, all these music documentaries that basically just
- 31:14Speaker 4: exist to puff up the star, you know, all these
- 31:18Speaker 4: brand rehabilitation documentaries that just exist to you know, be like, listen,
- 31:21Speaker 4: I know you've heard bad things, but I'm actually a
- 31:23Speaker 4: great person.
- 31:25Speaker 3: So obviously with the Uke.
- 31:28Speaker 4: Doc I don't think you're going to have that because again,
- 31:30Speaker 4: you know, who are we puffing up here like that?
- 31:34Speaker 4: He is no longer with us, but but also you know,
- 31:38Speaker 4: it's such a great story. Again, it's it's wild that
- 31:41Speaker 4: we haven't really had the proper Uke thirty for thirty
- 31:44Speaker 4: style treatment here.
- 31:46Speaker 5: My question is how do you keep it under four hours?
- 31:49Speaker 2: That's the problem. It's going to be a career. The
- 31:52Speaker 2: Tonight Show thing.
- 31:53Speaker 5: Hell, just the clips of uh, Norm MacDonald and already
- 31:56Speaker 5: Lang if you've never seen.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Those, amazing right.
- 32:00Speaker 4: The stories he has to tell too, Like you could
- 32:02Speaker 4: probably make a documentary of just him sitting at like
- 32:06Speaker 4: a bar with the documentary.
- 32:09Speaker 3: Incredible story.
- 32:10Speaker 5: I got to see many of his stories in the
- 32:12Speaker 5: dining rooms across.
- 32:15Speaker 7: And he's one of the rare guys that had you know,
- 32:18Speaker 7: he had a show every day in a lot of ways.
- 32:20Speaker 7: He if you slog through all the old broadcasts, he
- 32:23Speaker 7: did a show every day. There's so much content there.
- 32:25Speaker 7: It's just an incredible, incredible resource. I wish they had
- 32:28Speaker 7: video of him doing the furry conversation. It's one of
- 32:31Speaker 7: the many I think got all the documentary parts. I
- 32:34Speaker 7: wish we had live video.
- 32:35Speaker 5: Of Montreal Jean Jacques smythe thing too, I think, And
- 32:39Speaker 5: I don't know, and I didn't talk to producers. Hunter
- 32:42Speaker 5: interviewed the guys. I haven't talked to the producers yet.
- 32:44Speaker 5: I look forward to doing so. But I think I
- 32:47Speaker 5: was telling Billy and Arman the other day that what
- 32:49Speaker 5: people will be if they if they get into it,
- 32:51Speaker 5: like they will marvel at Uke's resilience and what a
- 32:54Speaker 5: tough s ob he was to go through the medical
- 32:57Speaker 5: things that he went through, especially at the end that
- 33:00Speaker 5: last season when he was getting through it and uh
- 33:03Speaker 5: trying to get to the World Series of heartbreaking loss
- 33:05Speaker 5: against the Mets with that last sign off. But man,
- 33:08Speaker 5: that dude brown recluse, spider bite, open heart surgeries you know,
- 33:12Speaker 5: can't serve scares, aortic aneurysms. Believe he had like ten
- 33:17Speaker 5: things that would have killed anybody else, and he lived.
- 33:20Speaker 3: The man lived, the lunch, the man got his money.
- 33:23Speaker 3: Did that is one hundred absolutely did. That's the kind
- 33:27Speaker 3: of life that a documentary is made for.
- 33:31Speaker 5: Anybody who gets both knees replaced at the same time,
- 33:34Speaker 5: that would be a winner, a medical marvel. They don't
- 33:36Speaker 5: even let you do that, No, but you did it
- 33:38Speaker 5: and got them funny because.
- 33:41Speaker 7: We were joking earlier in the show about an ill
- 33:44Speaker 7: fated attempt I had to recreate a moment from the
- 33:46Speaker 7: eighty seven Brewers team yearbook, and it made me think
- 33:48Speaker 7: they don't really do those things anymore.
- 33:50Speaker 2: And you can narrate it all those things.
- 33:52Speaker 7: So it's a different deal in a day and age
- 33:55Speaker 7: where the best, some of the best media and filmmaking
- 33:58Speaker 7: comes from there.
- 33:59Speaker 2: It is from the staffs of teams now.
- 34:03Speaker 7: I mean after the Yellich home run, they did the
- 34:05Speaker 7: pomp and circumstance and the video, the cinematic quality video.
- 34:09Speaker 7: It's like media staffs of teams now are putting on
- 34:12Speaker 7: some of the best quote unquote filmmaking there is, you know.
- 34:16Speaker 4: Well, and also I think, you know, every team now
- 34:19Speaker 4: has like their social media team and their filmographers, and
- 34:24Speaker 4: everyone's kind of got the same kind of house style
- 34:27Speaker 4: in a way where everybody's got the same thing they're
- 34:29Speaker 4: going for.
- 34:30Speaker 3: And you do miss the days of like each team.
- 34:33Speaker 4: Having like their radio guy who was like, you know,
- 34:38Speaker 4: a storyteller in his way and had his jokes in
- 34:42Speaker 4: his way and his weird you know brand you know,
- 34:45Speaker 4: you're the weird kind of off brand companies that he
- 34:48Speaker 4: did reads for and stuff like that, And there is
- 34:52Speaker 4: something very chary, I don't know if we'll ever have
- 34:54Speaker 4: like a Yuke again in any sport. You know, a
- 34:58Speaker 4: person who sticks around that long, who has the leash
- 35:02Speaker 4: to have the freedom to talk about the game and
- 35:05Speaker 4: bring audiences in the way you did.
- 35:09Speaker 3: I just don't know if. And a lot of that too.
- 35:11Speaker 3: It's just how the longevity in the career.
- 35:13Speaker 4: You know, how many people can put in forty years
- 35:16Speaker 4: in this job and build the kind of you know,
- 35:19Speaker 4: respect and love and adoration.
- 35:20Speaker 3: That you could where he could. And I mean it
- 35:23Speaker 3: goes for.
- 35:23Speaker 4: For the Dodgers radio ants or whose name I'm Scully
- 35:30Speaker 4: Vin Scullett, Yeah, leads. Thank you these guys who who
- 35:35Speaker 4: turns the game into an art, you know, who talked
- 35:38Speaker 4: about the sport in a way that felt like you
- 35:40Speaker 4: were watching a story, not just a meaningful a meaningless game.

- 37:19Speaker 5: conversations we've been having so far, Billy. One thing we
- 37:22Speaker 5: didn't talk about was the Jaden Ivy story released by
- 37:25Speaker 5: the Chicago Bulls.
- 37:26Speaker 2: Wow, tough development for Purdue fans. Well, yeah, that is
- 37:30Speaker 2: kind of sense, But he's a tough development.
- 37:34Speaker 5: Here's me swirling and some mental health issues released for
- 37:37Speaker 5: conduct detrimental to the team. Uh, he got rid of
- 37:41Speaker 5: like most of his social media, but then he went
- 37:43Speaker 5: on a an.
- 37:44Speaker 2: Hour long man he was.
- 37:46Speaker 6: Yeah, he was going on like multiple like long visual
- 37:49Speaker 6: long video rants of him recording and basically up his nostril,
- 37:54Speaker 6: but going in on on a lot of different religious beliefs.
- 37:59Speaker 3: Uh.
- 37:59Speaker 6: There were a lot of of anti NBA and LGBTQ
- 38:03Speaker 6: statements in there as well. He also though, took the
- 38:06Speaker 6: flamethrower to Steph Curry. And now some people are saying,
- 38:09Speaker 6: you can say a lot of things. You start taking,
- 38:11Speaker 6: you start taking shots to Steph Curry, we're gonna have
- 38:13Speaker 6: some problems, but uh, you know it is It's he
- 38:15Speaker 6: had like a month or so ago, right after the
- 38:18Speaker 6: Bulls acquired him after a game, was like, yeah, the
- 38:22Speaker 6: old the old j nineties dad.
- 38:23Speaker 7: The old Jay, the old dead, I'm alive in Christ
- 38:27Speaker 7: no matter what the basketball setting is.
- 38:28Speaker 2: Obviously you know his faith is not.
- 38:30Speaker 6: But he's also like, I'm just not the same player
- 38:33Speaker 6: and like that, all right, problem might be a good
- 38:35Speaker 6: warning sign of uh, we might have a problem here.
- 38:38Speaker 6: And it only went when crazier and more haywire from
- 38:43Speaker 6: there drew. It's it's one of those tough ones where
- 38:45Speaker 6: you have the right now the best team in basketball,
- 38:48Speaker 6: and they're cool parting with a young star that they
- 38:50Speaker 6: took sixth overall, they might know what's going on better
- 38:54Speaker 6: than you do. It seems like maybe the Detroit Pistons
- 38:58Speaker 6: were like, all right, before any of this stuff really
- 39:00Speaker 6: hits the newswire, get him out of here and get
- 39:03Speaker 6: anything we can.
- 39:04Speaker 7: And it's it's a wild three months that's taken his career.
- 39:08Speaker 5: Was there was a former player who's who tweeted something
- 39:12Speaker 5: like prayers for him or pray for him.
- 39:14Speaker 2: And Josh Giddy said he hope he gets the help
- 39:16Speaker 2: he needs. Yeah, there's a lot of that. There's a
- 39:19Speaker 2: lot of that.
- 39:19Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm thinking of like Delonte West and other guys
- 39:22Speaker 5: who have had mental health issues and stuff. But that's
- 39:24Speaker 5: it seems to be trending that way. And it's like, yeah, man,
- 39:27Speaker 5: it's mom's a coach at Notre Dame.
- 39:28Speaker 6: That was the other part. His mom's the coach at
- 39:30Speaker 6: Notre Dame. And then there was a lot of Christianity
- 39:31Speaker 6: and Catholicism things in there. Said she might have some
- 39:34Speaker 6: some weird conversations here tonight, but you know, you you
- 39:38Speaker 6: go through the stages of it, and and being in
- 39:42Speaker 6: the uh, you know, being in the public eye will
- 39:43Speaker 6: do stuff to you. Be and and being in the
- 39:46Speaker 6: public eye from a very very young age will do
- 39:48Speaker 6: stuff to you. And he was one of the most promising,
- 39:50Speaker 6: hyped up young players that there was. And you do
- 39:54Speaker 6: you really just hope that he gets the help that
- 39:55Speaker 6: he needs or you know what, maybe he doesn't want
- 39:58Speaker 6: right now, and whenever he's ready, it happens, because that
- 40:02Speaker 6: is a that's one thing that you always are are
- 40:05Speaker 6: hoping for the best of the guys being able to
- 40:07Speaker 6: move forward in life. Because there's only a short time, Drew,
- 40:11Speaker 6: and whether it's something like this or there's a lot
- 40:15Speaker 6: of guys that once the NFL, NBA or Major League
- 40:19Speaker 6: Baseball tells them they're done with their career, they really
- 40:21Speaker 6: struggle with something else because it's been their identity for
- 40:24Speaker 6: so long.
- 40:25Speaker 7: The quote was, and this was on I believe the
- 40:27Speaker 7: delta flight you were talking about. He's boarding a Delta flight.
- 40:29Speaker 7: While he's doing this, like fifteen minutes. Imagine getting seated
- 40:32Speaker 7: in that situation. I mean on the flight. You know,
- 40:34Speaker 7: you got your headphones on. You're just trying to he says,
- 40:37Speaker 7: Steph Curry, don't know. Jesus, I pray he saved it
- 40:39Speaker 7: in Jesus name. All that stuff isn't gonna matter on
- 40:42Speaker 7: judgment day. All them rings, he got, all them rings,
- 40:43Speaker 7: Lebron got, Jordan got. They're gonna try and stop me,
- 40:46Speaker 7: but I'm gonna keep speaking the truth. And then and
- 40:49Speaker 7: then he had a power down because you can't use
- 40:51Speaker 7: you know, in flights, you can't use the phone.
- 40:54Speaker 2: You know, sir, are you using data? We'd love for
- 40:57Speaker 2: you to get our Wi Fi.
- 41:00Speaker 5: And if he okay, So the LGBTQ stuff that's always
- 41:05Speaker 5: like a hot issue, always against Night. But there are
- 41:08Speaker 5: certain people who would like, hey, that's our guy, right,
- 41:10Speaker 5: that's hey, good for him speaking out. But then he
- 41:12Speaker 5: was ranting about Steph Lebron, the cookie monster. He was
- 41:15Speaker 5: wandering all over them.
- 41:17Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't just like, it wasn't just hey, this
- 41:19Speaker 2: is the problem. It wasn't a single issue thing.
- 41:23Speaker 5: Catholicism and like you're right, well, and Christianity a tick.
- 41:28Speaker 6: I mean Aaron rodd I'm not saying I'm not equating
- 41:31Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers and Jade and Ivy together. Aaron Rodgers would
- 41:34Speaker 6: say something of conflict with one side's political party, and
- 41:39Speaker 6: that's why I would be like as the as the
- 41:42Speaker 6: NFL player that we need. Then he's like, hey, I
- 41:44Speaker 6: don't want to be associated with any of you guys.
- 41:47Speaker 6: And then I think everybody started listening like, oh, he's
- 41:49Speaker 6: got conflicting beliefs on both sides. Jaye and Ivy's just
- 41:51Speaker 6: got beliefs. He did also say, like you said, cookie monsters,
- 41:58Speaker 6: some weird stuff.
- 41:59Speaker 7: He made a point about pie. I think at some
- 42:01Speaker 7: point I likes apple pie. Yeah too, that doesn't like
- 42:04Speaker 7: apple pie.
- 42:06Speaker 5: When we come back, we're gonna catch up with Badger's
- 42:08Speaker 5: hockey coach Mike Hastings on his way to the Frozen
- 42:10Speaker 5: Four in Vegas after a throwing weekend in Woosta. That's
- 42:14Speaker 5: coming up, Bill Schroeders, coming up at seven three. You're
