- 0:00Speaker 1: Live from headquarters, Wednesday edition, The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin,
- 0:04Speaker 1: 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison, iHeartRadio app, Facebook X, YouTube. You
- 0:10Speaker 1: can find us. If you look, you don't even have
- 0:12Speaker 1: to look that hard. Drew Wilson, Armin Sarian bringing it
- 0:14Speaker 1: to you. Billy Schmid on his way to Green Bay
- 0:17Speaker 1: for the Packers joint practice with the Arizona Cardinals. Matt
- 0:21Speaker 1: LaFleur against baby brother Mike. They're going at it just
- 0:24Speaker 1: the way they used to go at it when they
- 0:26Speaker 1: were playing Madden.
- 0:27Speaker 2: That's right. And, you know, sometimes the best fight is
- 0:29Speaker 2: a brotherly fight. So I don't expect to see any
- 0:32Speaker 2: on the field today, but you never know because that's
- 0:34Speaker 2: what brothers do, right? That's what they do. Yeah. Um,
- 0:37Speaker 2: we saw that with, uh, well, Baron Sorrell and Matthew
- 0:40Speaker 2: Golden got into a practice and they're Texas brothers.
- 0:42Speaker 1: There will be skirmishes of some kind, but I don't
- 0:45Speaker 1: know about a big.
- 0:45Speaker 2: You know, I agree. I don't think there'd be a
- 0:47Speaker 2: big brawl, but not a rock them, sock them, bro. Well,
- 0:49Speaker 2: and then, and, uh, Matt LaFleur joked about, Hey, tag
- 0:52Speaker 2: me in. The thing about it is drew. It's understandable.
- 0:56Speaker 2: My dad asked me when the saints and the Cowboys,
- 0:58Speaker 2: what does it say? They got right in their big fight.
- 1:00Speaker 2: My dad asked me, how can these guys, you know,
- 1:02Speaker 2: be doing this stuff? Like, don't they get fined? Shouldn't
- 1:04Speaker 2: they not? I'm like, you got to realize, uh, it's
- 1:08Speaker 2: professional football. Okay. This is a very physical, violent game.
- 1:11Speaker 2: And when you have another guy pushing you and another
- 1:13Speaker 2: guy do these things just happen. It's a very physical game.
- 1:16Speaker 2: And so we finally get a look at the, the,
- 1:20Speaker 2: you know, the Packers in a joint practice against some
- 1:22Speaker 2: other players, some other starters and their team. It's going
- 1:24Speaker 2: to be interesting to see. And I'm glad Billy's going
- 1:26Speaker 2: to be up there to deliver all of it for us.
- 1:28Speaker 2: So yeah, Drew, we're getting close third preseason game, obviously
- 1:32Speaker 2: in a couple of days. And we're going to be
- 1:35Speaker 2: on to, what, Labor Day weekend? And then on to
- 1:37Speaker 2: the season. So it's amazing how fast the summer goes,
- 1:40Speaker 2: isn't it? It's coming. It's crazy. And you can feel that.
- 1:42Speaker 2: You talked about the crisp in the air. It's a
- 1:44Speaker 2: little chillier in the morning when we get up now.
- 1:47Speaker 2: It's just amazing how fast it goes. I read a
- 1:49Speaker 2: stat yesterday, well, a stat, this is a weather stat,
- 1:51Speaker 2: that it hadn't hit 90 all of August, which surprised
- 1:54Speaker 2: me when I heard that. Wow. Because it felt like
- 1:56Speaker 2: a super hot July. Yesterday felt hot to me, man.
- 1:59Speaker 2: It did. It was 80.
- 2:01Speaker 1: I wanted to go take a snooze at the pool
- 2:03Speaker 1: in the afternoon.
- 2:04Speaker 2: It was too hot.
- 2:05Speaker 1: I had to get in the water because I couldn't
- 2:07Speaker 1: snooze on the lounge chair.
- 2:08Speaker 2: You know what? It's the impact of the sun, right?
- 2:10Speaker 2: Because when the sun goes down, it cools down. Yeah, quickly.
- 2:13Speaker 2: We were at Cops last night to get a banana split. Oh, yeah.
- 2:17Speaker 2: For banana split day of which, you know, they know
- 2:20Speaker 2: none of the kids working there doing a great job,
- 2:22Speaker 2: by the way. Cops is a great, great run machine there,
- 2:25Speaker 2: but they, none of them seem to know it was
- 2:27Speaker 2: national banana split day. And I said, well, none of
- 2:30Speaker 2: you must work in radio. You think they would try
- 2:32Speaker 2: and promote that maybe and push it, but cops doesn't
- 2:34Speaker 2: have to do that. The lines out the door in
- 2:36Speaker 2: the summer, no matter what drew, as.
- 2:37Speaker 1: You know, well, Are you going to celebrate National Cherry
- 2:40Speaker 1: Popsicle Day today?
- 2:41Speaker 2: See, here we go. Now, I do have some bomb
- 2:43Speaker 2: pops at home for a while. Cherry Popsicle Day. Yeah,
- 2:47Speaker 2: this is only cherry.
- 2:47Speaker 1: It's also, and social media will be alive today, it's
- 2:51Speaker 1: National Dog Day.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Well, that's every day. So everybody's going to post pictures
- 2:55Speaker 2: of their dogs. Isn't that every day for dog lovers?
- 2:57Speaker 1: In my house it is. My dog absolutely gets celebrated
- 3:00Speaker 1: every day.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Pretty cool. Yeah.
- 3:02Speaker 1: National dog day.
- 3:03Speaker 2: You know, what's funny is I hadn't like, Laura and
- 3:05Speaker 2: I looked at each other. I'm like, when's the last
- 3:06Speaker 2: time you actually had banana split? And neither of us
- 3:08Speaker 2: had had one in forever. That thing.
- 3:10Speaker 1: I haven't had one since I was a kid. And
- 3:12Speaker 1: it wasn't that good because of the, the gunky strawberry fruit.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Laura, it was very delicious. Obviously cops custard. And it's
- 3:20Speaker 2: a behemoth of a Sunday. Okay. For $ 8. 50, what you're
- 3:24Speaker 2: getting is a lot. Did you split it or did
- 3:25Speaker 2: you get your own? We all split it. I mean,
- 3:26Speaker 2: that thing is huge. But it's a big, messy mess,
- 3:31Speaker 2: let me tell you. The goopiness of the fruit filling
- 3:34Speaker 2: and all the stuff and the bananas and the melting
- 3:36Speaker 2: ice cream. But it was an experience to get. So
- 3:40Speaker 2: it was good to see. Now, I had not been
- 3:42Speaker 2: able to do. In my head, I'm like, should I
- 3:44Speaker 2: go to every custard shop and rank? You know, go
- 3:47Speaker 2: to Leon's, go to Kitts, go to Oscars and rank everybody's.
- 3:50Speaker 2: I don't think that's necessary. Not necessary, not feasible, and
- 3:54Speaker 2: it didn't happen. But it was a good night last night.
- 3:57Speaker 2: So all of that to remark that, yes, Drew, this
- 4:00Speaker 2: is the time of the year when the sun's setting
- 4:02Speaker 2: sooner and we're feeling that crisp fall feel a little
- 4:06Speaker 2: bit earlier in the year. And when the leaves start
- 4:10Speaker 2: to turn, it's football time, so.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Reach out to us, 877-794-1973, nicolaylaw.com, talk and text line.
- 4:18Speaker 1: And Hot Take Hump Day, get us your hot takes.
- 4:21Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time talking about last night's
- 4:23Speaker 1: Brewers game because there's so much to chew on from
- 4:24Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt being removed.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Lots to talk about there. We've talked about it all
- 4:29Speaker 2: these first two hours. Yeah, exactly.
- 4:31Speaker 1: If you're just waking up, we've been talking about Brewers
- 4:33Speaker 1: losing extras. Cooper Pratt lifted after... Well, it's a combination
- 4:37Speaker 1: of things. Didn't get a bunt down and won at bat.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Then the next bat hit a pop-up to the right
- 4:41Speaker 1: field side. Did not run hard. Probably could have, should
- 4:44Speaker 1: have been on second base.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Didn't. Yeah.
- 4:47Speaker 1: And was removed for a pinch runner immediately. It was
- 4:50Speaker 1: a jarring thing. It was a wake-up call.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Wake-up call.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Now, David Hamilton went to third base. Ortiz went to short.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Hamilton made a throwing error on the final play of
- 4:58Speaker 1: the game. The Brewers lost in 10. And a lot
- 5:03Speaker 1: of folks said, wow, see, if Cooper Pratt had been there,
- 5:05Speaker 1: they wouldn't have lost.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Well.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Again, I disagree with that, and that wasn't the play
- 5:11Speaker 1: to me. As with any baseball game, there's all these moments,
- 5:16Speaker 1: including the Brewers going two for 14 with runners in
- 5:18Speaker 1: scoring position, striking out four times in four at-bats in
- 5:22Speaker 1: the final two innings with runners in scoring position. That's
- 5:25Speaker 1: the crux of the loss to me. Plus, when you
- 5:29Speaker 1: score two runs in a game, you don't.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Have a very reasonable argument that you should have won.
- 5:34Speaker 2: I agree, and the irony of it for me was
- 5:36Speaker 2: they were very close to getting that hit from Hamilton,
- 5:39Speaker 2: who everyone seems to be kind of pointing their barbs
- 5:42Speaker 2: at because his error kind of was the final run
- 5:44Speaker 2: of the game. And therefore, a lot of people I
- 5:48Speaker 2: saw more than we expected, Drew, were going after Murph,
- 5:51Speaker 2: saying that's the reason. And to me, and we talked
- 5:53Speaker 2: about it all show. I think they missed the point.
- 5:55Speaker 2: I think last night did what they had to do
- 5:58Speaker 2: in terms of Murph handled it the way he felt
- 6:00Speaker 2: he had to. The vets handled Cooper, and Cooper handled
- 6:03Speaker 2: it well in the postgame. He did. Except for the
- 6:05Speaker 2: result of the game, which is what most people look at.
- 6:08Speaker 2: And that's the thing. The people ripping Murph and like,
- 6:11Speaker 2: what's the matter? What happened to win tonight?
- 6:16Speaker 1: Had the Brewers won, they'd be celebrating the move. So
- 6:18Speaker 1: it's a results-based thing, and I don't cut into that
- 6:21Speaker 1: because you and I are about to process it.
- 6:23Speaker 2: And I also, I, I, we are, but I also
- 6:25Speaker 2: think in this case, I don't think Murph looks at
- 6:27Speaker 2: it as like by putting Hamilton in for Pratt, he's
- 6:31Speaker 2: necessarily sacrificing a win. I think he believed his team
- 6:34Speaker 2: could and should have won that anyway. For sure. So that,
- 6:36Speaker 2: that shouldn't matter. And, and he.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Hamilton almost got the hit that would have broken the
- 6:40Speaker 1: game open, but lean door made an unbelievable catch.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Well, there's a web gem. There were plenty of, plenty of,
- 6:46Speaker 2: plenty of chances for the Brewers to score with their
- 6:48Speaker 2: best bats up that didn't come through. So yeah, there
- 6:51Speaker 2: you go. Um, Drew, so a lot of conversation in that.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Hot takes.
- 6:55Speaker 1: We talked about the hot, well, it's not even a
- 6:56Speaker 1: hot take, but that Dolly Parton was a national treasure,
- 6:59Speaker 1: beloved by virtually everybody. It's hard to find anybody saying
- 7:02Speaker 1: anything bad about her. Somebody on the text line said
- 7:04Speaker 1: she was overrated, which I think is ridiculous.
- 7:07Speaker 2: I can't believe that anyone would ever say that.
- 7:10Speaker 1: As a humanitarian and a philanthropist and a star and
- 7:13Speaker 1: a movie star.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Overrated, like what is that?
- 7:16Speaker 1: Prolific, a songwriter, wrote two of the best songs, like
- 7:19Speaker 1: two of the top 100 songs of all time on
- 7:21Speaker 1: the same day.
- 7:22Speaker 2: What's next? You're going to rip on Picasso? Yeah. Like,
- 7:25Speaker 2: what's next?
- 7:26Speaker 1: Unbelievable.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Well, I think Moses was overrated by parting the sea. Like,
- 7:30Speaker 2: what's next? This is Steve has one. He said, back
- 7:33Speaker 2: in Antonio Freeman's early years, he would often drop passes
- 7:36Speaker 2: early in the game. Holmgren would ream him a bit,
- 7:39Speaker 2: and then Freeman would make some amazing catches happen in
- 7:41Speaker 2: multiple games. Pretty good memory. Freeman was a rookie in 95.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Show me a young player who doesn't go through that.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Exactly. So I think the way you handle it is important.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Devontae Adams, people wanted him out of town his first
- 7:51Speaker 1: two years.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Great, great example. He was absolutely getting it for dropping
- 7:56Speaker 2: all those passes in the second year, I think.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Christian Watson's first play as an NFL player.
- 8:00Speaker 2: He dropped a pass. I remember people were ripping Jamar
- 8:03Speaker 2: Chase as a rookie in his preseason drops. And then
- 8:06Speaker 2: he became the best receiver in the world. So I,
- 8:09Speaker 2: you know. These things happen. He said, my hot take
- 8:12Speaker 2: is Hortiz and Hamilton are in Pratt on the bench
- 8:16Speaker 2: in the playoffs. Well, I don't know about that. We'll see.
- 8:19Speaker 2: But Hortiz has a pretty good bat right now. You
- 8:21Speaker 2: might play him at third. Oh, yeah. You're going to
- 8:24Speaker 2: have matchups every game. There's not going to be one lineup,
- 8:27Speaker 2: as we know, Drew, that the Brewers are going to
- 8:28Speaker 2: go into every playoff game saying, this isn't 82. This
- 8:31Speaker 2: isn't like we're writing the lineup out the same every day.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Let's go get them, boys. It's going to be... That
- 8:38Speaker 2: and the pitching matchups will be tinkered with on a
- 8:40Speaker 2: daily basis. That's very true. That's just the way it goes.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Very true. Ryan and Muskego. Guys, I'm good with what
- 8:46Speaker 2: happened if he comes back and rebounds. However, if he
- 8:49Speaker 2: goes into a slump, then what? Well, then you have
- 8:52Speaker 2: to get out of it, I guess. He's talking about Pratt,
- 8:55Speaker 2: I'm assuming. Would that prove Murph being right or wrong, Drew,
- 8:59Speaker 2: in your eyes? Would it? I don't know. I mean.
- 9:03Speaker 2: I think Pratt could go into a slump anyway. I
- 9:06Speaker 2: don't think one would necessarily cause the other. Do you
- 9:09Speaker 2: think Pratt's more likely to go into a slump now
- 9:11Speaker 2: because he's upset or something? I don't think so. No,
- 9:13Speaker 2: I don't either. I think it's about the process.
- 9:15Speaker 1: You want to talk slumps. What do you do to
- 9:16Speaker 1: get Churio out of his?
- 9:18Speaker 2: That's a slump that we're dealing with right now.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Churio's been, he's not swinging at strikes and he's not,
- 9:22Speaker 1: they're not throwing him strikes because he's swinging at everything.
- 9:24Speaker 2: And they obviously need him once the playoffs start to
- 9:27Speaker 2: be really good.
- 9:27Speaker 1: You need him in September on the stretch. Contreras went
- 9:30Speaker 1: through that where he was chasing. And now he's been
- 9:33Speaker 1: more disciplined, and he's starting to get the results.
- 9:34Speaker 2: Had a nice night last night. Yellich had the RBI double. So,
- 9:37Speaker 2: I mean, it's the ebbs and flows of this, as
- 9:40Speaker 2: you know, with the lineup of guys that you believe
- 9:42Speaker 2: are talented but aren't necessarily going to necessarily give you
- 9:44Speaker 2: the result you want every moment. Can't be perfect. No. Yeah, definitely. Yeah,
- 9:49Speaker 2: so keep those coming. 877-794-1973.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Time for a little Who's Hot Who's Not brought to
- 9:53Speaker 1: us by Donovan Jorgensen Heating and Cooling.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Check them out.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Trusted HVAC repair, installation, and maintenance experts. since 1985. If
- 10:03Speaker 1: your furnace needs a tune-up, if it was on its
- 10:04Speaker 1: last legs, get it looked at. Might be a good
- 10:08Speaker 1: time to set up the air conditioning for next year.
- 10:10Speaker 1: If you need a thermostat, a boiler, if you need
- 10:13Speaker 1: duct cleaning, whatever you need, Donovan Jorgensen's the place.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Check them out at donovanjorgensen.com. Now, who's not hot?
- 10:19Speaker 1: I guess we can go right to Jackson Churio and
- 10:22Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Yeah. We just mentioned those guys. Not hot. Those are
- 10:26Speaker 2: the guys not hot. Cooper, for obvious reasons, and Jackson's not.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Jackson's not 0 for 5 again last night.
- 10:32Speaker 2: He just looks lost. Yeah. Indeed. Well, they need him.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Who's hot? He's now perennial.
- 10:38Speaker 1: He's been on this list every day, but Cal Raleigh.
- 10:43Speaker 2: He is, absolutely. He had a three-homer game and had
- 10:46Speaker 2: another one. He homered in four straight at-bats. He's been
- 10:49Speaker 2: struggling all year, but all of a sudden he's figured
- 10:51Speaker 2: it out, I guess, and he's the Cal Raleigh, at
- 10:54Speaker 2: least for the last couple days, we've expected. So no
- 10:57Speaker 2: one's hotter than him. Yes, the Cubs were hot with
- 11:01Speaker 2: 30 straight unanswered runs, which was a club record, until
- 11:04Speaker 2: they blew the game last night, which made all of
- 11:06Speaker 2: us very happy. So they were hot as well. Who's
- 11:10Speaker 2: not hot, Drew, also... Pro players trying to come back
- 11:15Speaker 2: to college. The SEC and the Big Ten have now
- 11:17Speaker 2: both said, nope, we're not letting it happen. The Big
- 11:19Speaker 2: Ten was the first to do it. And the SEC
- 11:22Speaker 2: now has voted no, 16 to nothing. So Lane Kiffin's
- 11:26Speaker 2: plot has been foiled, some people say, to get college
- 11:29Speaker 2: kids back or pro players back into college. That was
- 11:34Speaker 2: a big topic the last couple of days as well.
- 11:35Speaker 2: And it looks like that's not going to happen, at
- 11:37Speaker 2: least in those two leagues. They're not going to take
- 11:40Speaker 2: anybody like that. So, yeah. Yeah. Pretty interesting. Who else
- 11:42Speaker 2: is hot?
- 11:43Speaker 1: Uh, James Harden, 37th birthday today, celebrating with his new contract.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Oh, that's a bad way to celebrate. I mean, listen, you,
- 11:53Speaker 2: we've talked about this. No one's been able to convince
- 11:55Speaker 2: a guy teams to give him more money than James card.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Oh my God. It's been impressive. So yeah, no question. Um, here's,
- 12:02Speaker 2: I also have another one and she might actually be
- 12:05Speaker 2: more apt for the hero of the day. So maybe
- 12:07Speaker 2: we can just do that as well. Drew, if you
- 12:09Speaker 2: want to, um, but yeah, it's it's Kinley Rasmus and
- 12:14Speaker 2: she's playing in the little league for George for, I'm sorry, Alabama.
- 12:19Speaker 2: And she's pretty, pretty much been incredible in Alabama. I
- 12:22Speaker 2: think overcame Washington. She pitches, she hits, she's like one
- 12:27Speaker 2: of the best players in the team. So her highlight
- 12:29Speaker 2: package is incredible. Kinley Rasmus, if you haven't heard is
- 12:33Speaker 2: has been doing an awesome job. She's playing for the
- 12:36Speaker 2: little league team in Alabama. So in the league world
- 12:38Speaker 2: series she's, She's been dominating, basically. So I think she's
- 12:42Speaker 2: a good quality candidate. All right. And, of course, Dolly
- 12:46Speaker 2: Parton we're going to put in for.
- 12:47Speaker 1: She's the breakout star of the Little League World Series.
- 12:49Speaker 2: I think she's up there. Yeah, she's getting a lot
- 12:51Speaker 2: of pub. Kinley Rasmussen. From Phoenix City, Alabama. And her
- 12:55Speaker 2: dad's the, I think her dad's the manager, if I'm
- 12:58Speaker 2: not mistaken, or one of the coaches. All right.
- 13:01Speaker 1: She closed her team's 4-2 win over Washington by catching
- 13:04Speaker 1: an infield pop-up. In the top of the sixth, ending
- 13:06Speaker 1: a desperate rally by the Northwest representative. And so Kinley Rasmus.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Yes. All right.
- 13:14Speaker 1: So we have to watch her exploits because Armin is
- 13:17Speaker 1: an early adopter on Kinley Rasmus.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Yes, why not? And I've been enjoying watching this tournament.
- 13:21Speaker 2: It started with Wisconsin's run, and I just keep watching.
- 13:25Speaker 2: And obviously because it's on during the day, so that's
- 13:28Speaker 2: another thing. 26 girls have played in the tournament since
- 13:31Speaker 2: its first entry in 47. And this year is just
- 13:35Speaker 2: the fourth in which two girls have played. There's another
- 13:37Speaker 2: girl playing, Carson Meyer, who plays for Nevada. So there
- 13:40Speaker 2: you go.
- 13:41Speaker 1: All right, so her dad was a big leaguer, played
- 13:46Speaker 1: parts of four seasons for the Braves and Angels, right-handed reliever.
- 13:51Speaker 1: He also played for Phoenix City National Little League during
- 13:54Speaker 1: the 99 Little League World Series when they won the U.S.
- 13:56Speaker 1: championship before losing to Osaka in the finals. Her grandfather, Tony,
- 14:00Speaker 1: coached that team, and Corey is an assistant coach on
- 14:02Speaker 1: the Phoenix City team this year.
- 14:04Speaker 2: There you go. And her uncle is Colby Rasmus. The
- 14:09Speaker 2: 10-year MLB event. Did you mention that? I'm sorry.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Well, and another uncle, Case, was drafted as a catcher
- 14:16Speaker 1: and played in the minors.
- 14:17Speaker 2: For four seasons. It's in her blood, clearly, baseball. And
- 14:20Speaker 2: he's managing.
- 14:20Speaker 1: So yeah, Case's son, Riker, is Kinley's cousin, also on
- 14:24Speaker 1: the team. Her maternal uncle, Jeff Mathis, was a catcher
- 14:28Speaker 1: in the MLB for 17 seasons with the Angels, Marlins, Diamondbacks, Rangers,
- 14:33Speaker 1: Blue Jays, and Braves. He was a 194 hitter, but
- 14:38Speaker 1: a great defensive player. Her mother, Jill, played softball at
- 14:42Speaker 1: Southern Miss. Man, she was born to it.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Born to it, right? I mean, that's kind of what
- 14:45Speaker 2: it is, though. And her highlight reel has been impressive.
- 14:47Speaker 1: She's not like the best girl in the tournament. She's
- 14:49Speaker 1: like one of the best players in the tournament.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I know, yeah. Wow, okay.
- 14:53Speaker 2: It's like a little Monet Davis action. It reminds me
- 14:57Speaker 2: of Icebox from Little Giant.
- 14:58Speaker 1: All right, we'll make her our Current Electric superhero of

- 15:16Speaker 2: 877-794-1973.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Looking for heroes at 11 o'clock. Training camp live. Wayne Larravee,
- 15:22Speaker 1: Bill Schmid from the perch at Ray Nitschke Field. The
- 15:26Speaker 1: last public practice of training camp. Now, Armin, you love
- 15:30Speaker 1: a good cockle warming story.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Absolutely. Love it.
- 15:34Speaker 1: The Packers, this practice is a little later than usual,
- 15:38Speaker 1: starting at 1130. Maybe the Cardinals contingent needs to get acclimated.
- 15:43Speaker 1: the Midwest time zone, maybe enough.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:46Speaker 1: But they also, uh, they want to do the dream
- 15:47Speaker 1: drive with the kids and the bikes.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 15:50Speaker 1: And the Cardinals are going to be in it too.
- 15:52Speaker 1: So Packers and Cardinals. So you need twice as many
- 15:54Speaker 1: bikes and twice as many kids. And I think school
- 15:56Speaker 1: started like for a lot of kids. So I'm wondering
- 15:59Speaker 1: how they're going to accomplish that, but they're, they're planning
- 16:01Speaker 1: on doing it and they want like a lot of,
- 16:03Speaker 1: you'll see it tonight, but both teams will be doing it.
- 16:06Speaker 2: If you put the word out, I would imagine there'd
- 16:07Speaker 2: be a lot of kids with bikes. I'd love to
- 16:09Speaker 2: remember when the Texans did it. And, um, Like J.J.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Watt rode a bike.
- 16:15Speaker 1: So the teams that come in generally take part in
- 16:17Speaker 1: it to be part of the tradition and to get
- 16:19Speaker 1: a flavor for what it's like to be a Packers player.
- 16:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. Pretty cool. Now, I wonder if
- 16:23Speaker 2: these kids are going to start giving e-bikes out. That's
- 16:26Speaker 2: why all the kids are riding e-bikes now. The players
- 16:29Speaker 2: in their contract ride them. I was going to say,
- 16:31Speaker 2: who's bringing the e-bike? And which players have to say, no, no, no,
- 16:34Speaker 2: I can't use that.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Armin, you're ahead of the curve because Kinley Rasmus is
- 16:37Speaker 1: getting run on Good Morning America right now.
- 16:39Speaker 2: It's a cool story. I mean, and she's good. It's
- 16:41Speaker 2: fun to watch her highlights. That swing is legit. She's
- 16:44Speaker 2: got a great swing. She pitched also. She was throwing
- 16:47Speaker 2: up and in on a kid. I don't know if
- 16:50Speaker 2: she did it on purpose, but just a good-looking ball
- 16:53Speaker 2: player in terms of the swing, the fundamentals and everything.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Yeah, she's getting it done.
- 17:01Speaker 2: 877-794-1973.
- 17:01Speaker 1: If you've got any hot takes, let's have them. We'll
- 17:03Speaker 1: continue to discuss the Brewers. They move on today. Disappointing
- 17:06Speaker 1: loss last night, but the Cubs lost as well. Murph
- 17:09Speaker 1: made his stand. He's done it before. That's the thing.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Murph has done this before. A two-time manager of the year.
- 17:15Speaker 1: He did it to Sal Freelick. He did it to
- 17:17Speaker 1: Caleb Durbin. He did it to Tobias Myers at a point.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Didn't he do it just recently with Harrison?
- 17:23Speaker 2: No. Who did he hook? Drone. Drone.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Drone, right? Drone in the middle of a 2-0 count.
- 17:29Speaker 1: He's done it like twice this year, removing pitchers in
- 17:31Speaker 1: the middle of a batter, which is Verrer. So Murph
- 17:34Speaker 1: is making a stand here, and I guess some people
- 17:37Speaker 1: don't like it because the Brewers lost a game.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Yes, and I think it's that and maybe a little deeper, like,
- 17:45Speaker 2: don't get on my kid. And we look at Cooper
- 17:48Speaker 2: as our kid. I don't know. There's something there, a
- 17:50Speaker 2: little maternal. I don't know. It could be. All right.
- 17:53Speaker 2: Hit us up. Give us your hot takes. 877-794-1973.
- 17:55Speaker 1: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 18:01Speaker 2: The huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Drew and Armand bringing it to you while Billy's headed
- 18:05Speaker 1: up to Green Bay for the combined practice with the
- 18:07Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals and Green Bay Packers. You'll hear it on
- 18:10Speaker 1: Training Camp Live today, 11 to 1, with the voice
- 18:13Speaker 1: of the Packers and legend, Wayne Larravee.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Best of the best. Yeah, that's awesome, indeed.
- 18:20Speaker 1: It's going to be great to hear those guys describe
- 18:22Speaker 1: what's happening in the most important practice of, it's basically
- 18:26Speaker 1: the third preseason game.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Yeah, and they've done a really good job with it,
- 18:29Speaker 2: and especially Billy. I've enjoyed, now obviously I've listened or
- 18:33Speaker 2: been here producing it, but I've enjoyed the way Billy,
- 18:34Speaker 2: because we can't see the action. But they describe the action,
- 18:39Speaker 2: and it feels like... It feels like you're there. Yeah,
- 18:41Speaker 2: it feels like I'm there, right, which I enjoy. And
- 18:43Speaker 2: I find myself, you know, especially when he's with Wayne,
- 18:45Speaker 2: because it's Wayne, right, play-by-play. Yeah, the best. When they
- 18:48Speaker 2: kind of follow along, and, okay, you know, Trey's getting
- 18:51Speaker 2: ready for a kick, and I'm kind of on the
- 18:52Speaker 2: edge of my seat, like, cheering for it to happen. Like,
- 18:55Speaker 2: you know, it's been a lot of fun to listen to,
- 18:56Speaker 2: and they've been blessed with some great weather, and it
- 18:59Speaker 2: looks like another... Pick day. That's right. Chamber of Commerce Day.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Chamber of Commerce Day. Yeah, absolutely. 877-794-1973.
- 19:07Speaker 1: NicoletLaw.com. Talk and text line. We spent time today talking
- 19:11Speaker 1: about Pat Murphy's decision to remove Cooper Pratt for a
- 19:14Speaker 1: pinch runner and the ramifications of that.
- 19:18Speaker 2: We also, we talked a lot about Dolly Parton today.
- 19:21Speaker 1: And on Hot Take Hump Day, I've said it before,
- 19:25Speaker 1: and I will crystallize it into a hot take. Dolly
- 19:28Speaker 1: Parton is one of the few people Remaining public figures
- 19:34Speaker 1: whose appeal was universal across all spectrums. She was universally
- 19:42Speaker 1: liked and respected. You don't find many people saying bad
- 19:44Speaker 1: things about her. We mentioned Betty White.
- 19:49Speaker 2: There's just not many figures like that. Who else is
- 19:52Speaker 2: in that strata? I don't know. In terms of athletes,
- 19:56Speaker 2: I can only think of Shaq. Shaq's a good example.
- 19:59Speaker 2: I think Barkley maybe. Shaq for sure. But it wasn't
- 20:02Speaker 2: always like that for Charles. While he was playing, he
- 20:04Speaker 2: had controversies. The whole, I'm not a role model thing.
- 20:07Speaker 2: But as he's grown older... I think universally, it's harder
- 20:11Speaker 2: to find those people. I always said, like, someone that
- 20:14Speaker 2: likes everyone and who is liked by everyone, it's a
- 20:17Speaker 2: blessing and a rarity in this world, and those two
- 20:20Speaker 2: had it, and unfortunately now gone, Betty, and talking about
- 20:22Speaker 2: Betty White with, and of course, Dolly Parton now will pass.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Pretty sad. And you can make an impact on people
- 20:32Speaker 2: by being that type of person, but There aren't many
- 20:35Speaker 2: like that anymore, Drew, at least. You think about the
- 20:37Speaker 2: sports world, there are some broadcasters. I think Bob was one,
- 20:40Speaker 2: you know, Bob Uecker. Who didn't like Bob, right? I
- 20:43Speaker 2: think Bob's a good example of that. Bob was up there. Unfortunately,
- 20:46Speaker 2: not as many.
- 20:47Speaker 1: I would say there's one guy who's a centenarian, Dick
- 20:52Speaker 1: Van Dyke.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Dick Van Dyke's a good one. I mean, Marv Levy?
- 20:57Speaker 2: Dick Van Dyke, Willie Nelson. Yeah, Willie, yeah.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Willie Nelson cuts across and basically universally loved.
- 21:03Speaker 2: Yeah, there isn't going to be many people that are
- 21:06Speaker 2: going to make some sort of snarky meme content centered
- 21:10Speaker 2: around any sort of joke when they pass. You're right.
- 21:13Speaker 2: That's kind of how you can really tell. Ernie Johnson.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Ernie Johnson, great one. Uke, Vin Scully. A lot of
- 21:23Speaker 2: the broadcasters. A lot of the broadcasters. A lot of
- 21:25Speaker 2: the broadcasters in... John Madden? In our industry, John Madden,
- 21:31Speaker 2: although now, like, are people going to say that about
- 21:35Speaker 2: Buck and Aikman? No. Like, they should in a lot
- 21:39Speaker 2: of ways. I mean, you're talking about just broadcasting versus
- 21:42Speaker 2: the type of person they are, but, like, you know
- 21:44Speaker 2: how it is with those guys. I mean, they're going
- 21:46Speaker 2: to catch it from, you know, oh, Buck hates my team,
- 21:49Speaker 2: and so-and-so was terrible, and he hates my, like, people
- 21:53Speaker 2: are weird about that now. So I wonder if that
- 21:55Speaker 2: comes with age and time, where people will appreciate them
- 21:58Speaker 2: over time. Yeah. Like, well, people talk about Joe Buck
- 22:01Speaker 2: the way they had done in the last 15 years,
- 22:03Speaker 2: the way they would when he's in his 80s and 90s.
- 22:05Speaker 2: I hope they don't. I hope it's universally revered. And
- 22:09Speaker 2: as they get older, maybe they would. I mean, I'm
- 22:11Speaker 2: sure during Marv Levy's coaching career, it was a lot
- 22:14Speaker 2: more about his lack of ability to win the Super
- 22:16Speaker 2: Bowl than now, where Marv Levy's another one, 100 years old,
- 22:21Speaker 2: I believe, that's just led an amazing life that I
- 22:24Speaker 2: think most people love and appreciate, not just Bills fans.
- 22:28Speaker 2: I do, yeah.
- 22:29Speaker 1: It's like one of the last things that people agreed on,
- 22:31Speaker 1: that they liked Dolly Parton. Or even if you didn't
- 22:35Speaker 1: get it, you didn't hate her.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Sure. I don't think politicians are going to be ever
- 22:40Speaker 2: in this mix. Never. But you think, okay, what other musicians? Snoop?
- 22:45Speaker 2: Might be in that class. There's going to be some
- 22:47Speaker 2: people that say, I never liked rap, or I never
- 22:49Speaker 2: liked Snoop, or I never liked this. But Snoop's become
- 22:52Speaker 2: one of the most, whoever would have thought, one of
- 22:55Speaker 2: the most palatable public figures now. I mean, Snoop is
- 22:58Speaker 2: that guy now that's like America's guy. Like he's on
- 23:02Speaker 2: the NBC Olympics. He does all these things. Mel Brooks.
- 23:04Speaker 2: He does commercials with the, yeah, Mel Brooks.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Carson.
- 23:08Speaker 2: When Johnny Carson was that way. Is Jay Leno in
- 23:11Speaker 2: that class? Not everyone likes the way, Conan might be
- 23:15Speaker 2: more than Jay.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Yeah, not everybody likes the way that it ended in
- 23:18Speaker 1: the back room dealings.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Yeah. So some people might hold him accountable for that.
- 23:25Speaker 2: I don't. do that because it's just business and everything.
- 23:28Speaker 2: But like some people, you know, yeah. Late night guy,
- 23:31Speaker 2: even Seinfeld has people that, you know, guys like that,
- 23:34Speaker 2: that you think are made men have people that say, Oh,
- 23:36Speaker 2: so he was overrated or he wasn't good or he's
- 23:39Speaker 2: too snarky now, or he has these political views. You
- 23:41Speaker 2: know what I mean? So, you know, I mean, not
- 23:45Speaker 2: many people are Teflon like that anymore because I think
- 23:48Speaker 2: in a way we look to take any public figure,
- 23:52Speaker 2: find something to identify them with that, might, you know,
- 23:56Speaker 2: we want to identify them in a certain way. Maybe
- 23:57Speaker 2: it's politically or a lot of culturally how they live
- 23:59Speaker 2: their life. And we try and find ways to assign
- 24:05Speaker 2: a controversy to them. I mean, Giannis would have been
- 24:08Speaker 2: that guy in Milwaukee, but like, obviously now it's different
- 24:10Speaker 2: for a lot of people. So over time that changes again,
- 24:14Speaker 2: probably totally. But it was kind of funny how that,
- 24:18Speaker 2: how that works locally. I think we've had some, I
- 24:20Speaker 2: think Bob Harlan was that guy. I think Ron Wolf
- 24:23Speaker 2: was that guy. universally loved right don't know if everyone
- 24:28Speaker 2: felt that way about bud although i do yeah you
- 24:31Speaker 2: know but people some people didn't like the way bud
- 24:33Speaker 2: spent or didn't spend or how he handled things as
- 24:35Speaker 2: commissioner or you know just to be fair there are
- 24:38Speaker 2: some people that detract that but i think buds or
- 24:40Speaker 2: the tie you know so dolly parton bart star bart
- 24:46Speaker 2: that's a great one bart star is a great one
- 24:48Speaker 2: even though he didn't win as a coach most people
- 24:50Speaker 2: don't don't really care about that. No, that's been, that
- 24:53Speaker 2: was forgiven. Yeah.
- 24:54Speaker 1: And the fact that like the stuff that he did,
- 24:56Speaker 1: like writing letters to every starting quarterback at the start
- 24:58Speaker 1: of the season and stuff like that.
- 25:01Speaker 2: He's famous for like not missing a kid. If you, you,
- 25:04Speaker 2: you wrote in asking for a picture, he sent an
- 25:06Speaker 2: autograph picture back. Like almost everyone's like, you know, a
- 25:10Speaker 2: lot of kids have experiences of getting one back. Like,
- 25:12Speaker 2: you know, yeah. Um, obviously he was a gentleman, the
- 25:15Speaker 2: raw hide stuff, the boys ranch stuff. So did a
- 25:18Speaker 2: lot of good. Is Tom Cruise in that class? No.
- 25:25Speaker 2: He's just weird. I think people all universally acknowledge his
- 25:30Speaker 2: greatness as an actor. Tom Hanks is probably closer than
- 25:33Speaker 2: Tom Cruise.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Tom Hanks would probably be that guy.
- 25:35Speaker 2: I think Hanks is maybe that guy. He's the Jimmy
- 25:40Speaker 2: Stewart of our generation. If some people... If these guys
- 25:44Speaker 2: do anything in their personal life that some people find
- 25:46Speaker 2: extreme or controversial, then that takes away a segment of
- 25:49Speaker 2: the universal love for them, right? Yeah. So, Dobler says
- 25:52Speaker 2: Howard Stern. I don't agree there at all. I mean,
- 25:55Speaker 2: he's quite polarized. Some people, he's one of the most,
- 25:58Speaker 2: I mean, he's successful, clearly, and he's had one of
- 26:01Speaker 2: the greatest shows, you know, king of all media. But successful, like,
- 26:06Speaker 2: always has a backlash. Yeah. Yeah.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Like, sports-wise, Derek Jeter, pretty much universally respected, even by
- 26:12Speaker 1: Red Sox fans.
- 26:13Speaker 2: But people will say he was a bad owner. Jordan. Jordan. LeBron. Jordan,
- 26:18Speaker 2: bad owner. And some people will push back against Jordan
- 26:23Speaker 2: just because they don't like the way LeBron's... Some people
- 26:28Speaker 2: are LeBron fans.
- 26:30Speaker 1: One of our colleagues in the industry was going off
- 26:32Speaker 1: on Jordan saying that since his playing days, his personal
- 26:36Speaker 1: life and just his life, he's like a loser.
- 26:39Speaker 2: He's a rich guy, but Right, he's kind of gone away.
- 26:41Speaker 1: The way he comports himself and his lack of success
- 26:44Speaker 1: in NBA ownership and stuff.
- 26:47Speaker 2: Except for now, he's had the motorsport success.
- 26:49Speaker 1: Is Magic Johnson in the Dolly Parton class? I think
- 26:52Speaker 1: Magic's up there.
- 26:54Speaker 2: He's up there. I think Magic's got to be a
- 26:55Speaker 2: guy that's pretty universally liked.
- 26:57Speaker 1: Dilly Dan said Morgan Freeman.
- 26:59Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good one. Who doesn't like Morgan Freeman, right?
- 27:03Speaker 1: Wildcat Mark said Robin Yount locally.
- 27:07Speaker 2: Yes. Yes. Yeah, he's amazing. For sure, locally, not locally.
- 27:11Speaker 2: as much on the national radar. No, but that's a
- 27:14Speaker 2: great one. Yeah. Other actors, I'm not sure, like Denzel maybe.
- 27:19Speaker 2: I think Denzel's in that class. Will Smith could have been. Oh, God, yeah.
- 27:24Speaker 2: Until he slapped Chris Rock. Yeah, I think Will Smith
- 27:27Speaker 2: was on that track for some people. Although some people
- 27:29Speaker 2: always said, oh, Will Smith is corny. Like nobody would
- 27:32Speaker 2: have said that about Dolly. No. Dobler says Mr. Rogers. Oh,
- 27:37Speaker 2: that's a good one. Yeah, that's pretty good. Henry Winkler now. Yes.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Great one. Henry Winkler. Henry Winkler's in that mix. Yeah.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Like he hasn't really been involved in the politics at all.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Ron Howard kind of has, or else I'd say Ron
- 27:48Speaker 2: Howard too, but some people aren't going to maybe like
- 27:51Speaker 2: the politics aspect of it. Yeah. This is the internet
- 27:53Speaker 2: age where people will always find someone that's.
- 27:55Speaker 1: How about Jed York? We forgot to add him to
- 27:59Speaker 1: who's not hot.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Jed York. Yeah, you're right. We didn't do that. Deshaun Watson,
- 28:03Speaker 2: not hot. Oh, they're kind of like perennials. Um, definitely,
- 28:06Speaker 2: you know, what group I'm going to say this to drew,
- 28:09Speaker 2: you know, a group of people now in this day
- 28:11Speaker 2: and age, that is, it's an industry. Now it's a
- 28:14Speaker 2: group of people that I don't think where people will
- 28:17Speaker 2: ever look finally upon is, is universally are influencers in general. Like,
- 28:25Speaker 2: I think that even if you're a successful influencer, even
- 28:28Speaker 2: if you have a lot of followers and you get
- 28:29Speaker 2: engagement on your posts and make money, there are so
- 28:32Speaker 2: many people that just hate the idea of influencers. in general,
- 28:36Speaker 2: that there's always going to be some people that just...
- 28:38Speaker 2: You hate Mr. Beast? Yes, there'll be some people that
- 28:41Speaker 2: are just going to dislike influencing. So no influencer, if
- 28:48Speaker 2: they're known only for influencing, will ever have universal appeal
- 28:52Speaker 2: to everybody. Alex Earl? The exact great example. A lot
- 28:55Speaker 2: of people think they're just vapid. What have you put
- 28:59Speaker 2: into the world? Not saying it's appropriate always, but just
- 29:03Speaker 2: saying there's going to be some people that never like them.
- 29:06Speaker 2: I mean, if you ask a lot of influencers now,
- 29:09Speaker 2: I bet they would tell you most of their job,
- 29:10Speaker 2: if they're successful, is just being insulted on a daily basis.
- 29:14Speaker 2: I mean, the comments on most influencers' pages are just
- 29:18Speaker 2: ripping on them a lot of times. Maybe that's just
- 29:21Speaker 2: my anecdotal kind of observation, but... That was KB's thing.
- 29:25Speaker 2: You know, I don't ever want to be successful. I
- 29:27Speaker 2: think that's a good example of that. Good example. I
- 29:29Speaker 2: always think about KB saying that, and I think it's true.
- 29:34Speaker 2: He didn't want the smoke. Exactly. A lot of that
- 29:37Speaker 2: comes with being successful. That's what makes the dahlia partners
- 29:39Speaker 2: of the world so unique jonah and river falls said
- 29:41Speaker 2: uh what about jim paschke a little before my time
- 29:44Speaker 2: but i got to meet him oh yeah i think
- 29:46Speaker 2: that's good for johnny mclachlan local johnny mac as well
- 29:49Speaker 2: locally yeah wayne i haven't i haven't really met anyone
- 29:52Speaker 2: oh yeah like oh sure wayne obviously yeah Wink McAllister
- 29:59Speaker 2: says best. Oh, Wink McAllister. I love that. How about that?
- 30:02Speaker 2: That's a blast from the past. I think we found
- 30:04Speaker 2: some good ones. I mean, the all-time greats, though, they're
- 30:07Speaker 2: probably not as many as there used to be, I think,
- 30:11Speaker 2: that are just totally flying above the clouds, above the fray.
- 30:15Speaker 1: One of the things is that it's a national pastime.
- 30:19Speaker 1: It's not up there with bitching and moaning on the internet,
- 30:21Speaker 1: which is the actual national pastime. But building people up
- 30:24Speaker 1: and then tearing them down and delighting in their fall.
- 30:26Speaker 2: Is part of the culture. Yeah, it's the society.
- 30:30Speaker 1: For a while, Taylor Swift could do no wrong, and
- 30:32Speaker 1: then people got sick of her, and now they're anti-Taylor Swift.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Yeah, and just because so many people like her, there's
- 30:41Speaker 2: going to be the exact amount of people that dislike her.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Although I think she's universally appealed now as the great
- 30:48Speaker 2: musician of a generation. But you're right. I mean, her
- 30:51Speaker 2: mere existence on TV angered so many people during those
- 30:54Speaker 2: football games. Yeah. Just her existence was firing people up. Yep. So,
- 31:00Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 31:01Speaker 1: You still live in a Swifty household? Lara's still a Swifty?
- 31:04Speaker 2: I mean, she always loved to put Taylor Swift on.
- 31:07Speaker 2: Always will be. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So, absolutely. Absolutely. So, yeah,
- 31:10Speaker 2: you will not waver. What about boy bands? What about
- 31:13Speaker 2: Backstreet Boys? Oh, man. No, there's going to be always
- 31:16Speaker 2: people that didn't like them either. True. Yeah. True. Yeah.
- 31:21Speaker 1: Dave Grohl had that until he had his.
- 31:23Speaker 2: He got busted up a little bit. Yeah, until he
- 31:25Speaker 2: got busted up. Although that's different than people acknowledging their art.
- 31:30Speaker 2: There are some people that will always acknowledge the greatness
- 31:33Speaker 2: of their art, right?
- 31:35Speaker 1: One of the principles of my life. the pillars of
- 31:38Speaker 1: my philosophy is trust the art, not the artist.
- 31:40Speaker 2: Yeah, which is a good way to look at it
- 31:42Speaker 2: in a lot of ways. But this very discussion is
- 31:44Speaker 2: about the artist.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but it's like that's, you know, yeah, because
- 31:48Speaker 1: we're lumping that in, but a lot of people can't
- 31:50Speaker 1: separate those.
- 31:53Speaker 2: Tom Cruise is a good example. I don't think anyone
- 31:55Speaker 2: objectively is going to say he's not a great actor.
- 31:58Speaker 1: I don't think I'd want to have dinner with Mel Gibson,
- 32:00Speaker 1: but some of his work on screen is pretty good.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 32:03Speaker 1: And I would say the same if people don't agree with, like,
- 32:07Speaker 1: Tim Robbins or anybody's politics separate their work from their beliefs, right?
- 32:13Speaker 2: Well, I think that's a good way to go about
- 32:15Speaker 2: it to an extent. I think so. You have to
- 32:18Speaker 2: draw the line somewhere, though. I mean, O.J., I mean,
- 32:20Speaker 2: you know, there are certain guys you have to... But, yes, O.J.
- 32:23Speaker 2: was a great running back independent of his murder or whatever.
- 32:28Speaker 2: I mean, obviously alleged, but he... Allegedly. He did it. Oh, Armin.
- 32:32Speaker 2: He did it. I'm going to say it.
- 32:33Speaker 1: All right. I don't think you're going to get sued
- 32:34Speaker 1: because I think that's a pretty popular opinion.
- 32:36Speaker 2: But you get my point, though. Yeah. It's independent of
- 32:41Speaker 2: the artist. The art is independent of the artist. That's true.
- 32:45Speaker 2: That's it. That's it. All right.
- 32:46Speaker 1: When we come back, we're going to be waking and

- 34:05Speaker 1: Tears in our eyes just like Cooper Pratt at his
- 34:07Speaker 1: locker list.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Tears in our eyes. Phil had a hot
- 34:11Speaker 2: take based on that. He said, hot take, someone telling
- 34:13Speaker 2: you in spring that we're gaining four minutes of light.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Doesn't hit the same as someone telling you we're losing
- 34:17Speaker 2: four minutes of light in the fall. Losing it every day. God,
- 34:20Speaker 2: it gets darker earlier. It sucks.
- 34:22Speaker 1: I'm bumming about that. I'm excited about football, but I'm
- 34:24Speaker 1: bumming about the saying goodbye to summer.
- 34:27Speaker 2: Days are getting smaller. Still time to get us. 877-794-1973.

- 34:55Speaker 1: you might not have thought of.
- 34:57Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 34:57Speaker 1: Armin, you ever been in a big city? Have you
- 34:59Speaker 1: taken a Waymo ride yet?
- 35:00Speaker 2: I have, actually. I took one at the Miami Bachelor
- 35:04Speaker 2: Party I was at for my cousin. Yes. My younger
- 35:08Speaker 2: cousin had ordered it. He said he's getting an Uber
- 35:11Speaker 2: or whatever it is. I didn't think much of it.
- 35:13Speaker 2: And he goes, look, I got a Waymo. And I
- 35:15Speaker 2: don't remember if I told you, but I did take one.
- 35:17Speaker 2: I did take one. And it was kind of a, well,
- 35:19Speaker 2: very weird experience at first.
- 35:21Speaker 1: For those who don't know, Waymo are the driverless Ubers.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Right. The ones in Vegas are called Zoox, I think. Zoox, yeah.
- 35:27Speaker 2: But they're a little different. But the Waymos are regular cars.
- 35:30Speaker 2: They're driverless Ubers. It's a weird feeling to get in
- 35:33Speaker 2: one of those things. Okay. They don't go on the freeway.
- 35:36Speaker 2: That's right. So it is, it's weird.
- 35:38Speaker 1: And that might be a little bit of a wake
- 35:40Speaker 1: and bake feeling for someone to get in a car
- 35:42Speaker 1: and sit in the back with no driver.
- 35:45Speaker 2: Very weird. It was crazy. Okay. Yeah.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. And this is where the wake
- 35:52Speaker 1: and bake thing comes in because there are a lot
- 35:53Speaker 1: of people who are worried about flock cameras and you know,
- 35:58Speaker 1: their utility and like, spy state, you know, what they
- 36:02Speaker 1: can tell about people.
- 36:03Speaker 2: That's one thing that seems to be uniting people.
- 36:04Speaker 1: They want to use it as a crime-solving thing, but
- 36:06Speaker 1: they're also using it, and who knows what else they're
- 36:09Speaker 1: doing about your habits and when and where you're driving.
- 36:12Speaker 1: It's storing a lot of data on you, and a
- 36:15Speaker 1: lot of folks are not down with that. That's an
- 36:18Speaker 1: infringement of rights to privacy, right?
- 36:21Speaker 2: Exactly, right. That's what some people are saying, yeah.
- 36:25Speaker 1: We've had people pulled over because for mistaken identity with
- 36:28Speaker 1: the license plates and stuff like that, and it's kind
- 36:31Speaker 1: of weird, but also you wonder if they're selling your
- 36:32Speaker 1: data to see like when you're going to go to
- 36:34Speaker 1: the store and when you're going to go to what
- 36:35Speaker 1: fast food places you're going to. And like, and you're
- 36:38Speaker 1: going to be hit with targeted ads.
- 36:40Speaker 2: It's always fraught with potential for this use. All right.
- 36:43Speaker 1: So the flock camera thing has brought in this whole
- 36:45Speaker 1: nanny state thing, but, and this is where the Waken
- 36:47Speaker 1: Bay comes in story from the Nashville banner newspaper.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Cool name for a paper. Okay. Parked Waymo vehicles.
- 36:57Speaker 1: Waymo's for those who don't know, it's like, it's, They
- 37:01Speaker 1: hit Nashville a while back, and there's more than 50
- 37:05Speaker 1: white driverless Jaguars with out-of-state plates parked around.
- 37:09Speaker 2: And you can order them as like an Uber.
- 37:11Speaker 1: And they have large spinning sensors shaped like top hats
- 37:14Speaker 1: on the roofs, carting people around downtown Nashville, going to
- 37:18Speaker 1: the riverfront, lower Broadway, Music Row.
- 37:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 37:22Speaker 1: The vehicles use a combination of radar and LiDAR sensors,
- 37:25Speaker 1: external audio and video from both in-car camera systems, 29
- 37:29Speaker 1: external cameras to operate and train the vehicles to make
- 37:32Speaker 1: them safe. But even when the vehicles are empty, if
- 37:37Speaker 1: they're parked and they're running, which you can tell when
- 37:41Speaker 1: the sensors are spinning, they record audio and 360 degrees
- 37:45Speaker 1: and video. So they're taping you all the time. To
- 37:48Speaker 1: continuously perceive the world around the vehicle. Yeah, because they
- 37:52Speaker 1: need that for the function of it. A spokesperson for
- 37:54Speaker 1: Waymo said that Constant recording is necessary for parked vehicles
- 37:57Speaker 1: to respond to like emergency vehicles to get out of
- 38:00Speaker 1: the way or other hazards.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Yes.
- 38:03Speaker 1: And they're engineered with privacy by design, but the sensors
- 38:05Speaker 1: remain active when the vehicle is parked to maintain awareness.
- 38:08Speaker 1: So now how long do they store the data? Company
- 38:12Speaker 1: said it's too costly to store large amounts of random
- 38:14Speaker 1: footage or audio that doesn't help train the vehicles or
- 38:16Speaker 1: pertain to a specific incident, but they won't say how
- 38:21Speaker 1: long they keep. the data and idly collect.
- 38:23Speaker 2: Okay. Interesting. So they said it's just a reasonably.
- 38:25Speaker 1: Appropriate amount of time to improve our automated driving system.
- 38:29Speaker 2: What does that mean? Right.
- 38:31Speaker 1: They're in residential neighborhoods or do they do it in,
- 38:33Speaker 1: in potentially sensitive areas?
- 38:37Speaker 2: It's a little bit, you start to think about it
- 38:39Speaker 2: and it's a little bit freaky. Let's say, yeah, let's
- 38:41Speaker 2: say you're, there's one parked somewhere in a downtown area
- 38:45Speaker 2: and you live in an apartment above that and your
- 38:47Speaker 2: windows open and you're on the balcony and In theory,
- 38:51Speaker 2: it could be taping you all the time, talking or anything. Now,
- 38:54Speaker 2: I guess that's true of a lot of things these days.
- 38:56Speaker 2: There could be cameras everywhere, but you might not think
- 38:59Speaker 2: there is one with those Waymos. You might not realize
- 39:02Speaker 2: that it could be taping you. So it is kind
- 39:05Speaker 2: of a weird thing, Drew. It makes you wonder. That's
- 39:08Speaker 2: the wake and bake aspect of it, right? That's right.
- 39:10Speaker 2: It makes you wonder what could they be recording.
- 39:12Speaker 1: So last week, it came out that Flock is trying
- 39:16Speaker 1: to broker a deal to access in-car footage from Uber
- 39:19Speaker 1: and Lyft. To help its sweeping surveillance network?
- 39:23Speaker 2: To help to help surveillance right uh that's not not
- 39:27Speaker 2: great bob well you know and this is you know
- 39:30Speaker 2: you talk about things that are universal this has been
- 39:32Speaker 2: one thing that some i think a lot of people
- 39:34Speaker 2: sort of like that in data centers have like united
- 39:37Speaker 2: people on totally it seems like a lot of people
- 39:39Speaker 2: are not comfortable with the experience and when you start
- 39:41Speaker 2: looking for flock cameras you do see them pop up
- 39:43Speaker 2: everywhere and they're on my street now i mean Good
- 39:47Speaker 2: thing they're just going to see me walking up and
- 39:48Speaker 2: down the street with my headphones and my Brooks listening
- 39:52Speaker 2: to gin blossoms. But I mean, that's a, that's a
- 39:55Speaker 2: thing a lot of people argue about, but okay, Drew,
- 39:57Speaker 2: but stepping in a Waymo and when that thing started driving,
- 40:00Speaker 2: it freaked me out, man. I believe. But then what
- 40:02Speaker 2: was odd is how quickly I got used to it. Yeah.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Cause it operates correctly and well. Yeah. And if it works,
- 40:09Speaker 2: you're like, now I'm in the car and it's going
- 40:10Speaker 2: to work weird. It's weird.
- 40:13Speaker 1: But anyway, the, for all the novelty and the coolness
- 40:16Speaker 1: of it took away a driving job. People are making money.
- 40:21Speaker 2: That's right. And they're surveilling you. It's kind of frightening.
- 40:24Speaker 2: All right.
- 40:25Speaker 1: Thanks to doll for coming in. Check out training camp
- 40:27Speaker 1: live today. We'll talk about Packers practice tomorrow. Brewers Mets
- 40:30Speaker 1: as well.
- 40:31Speaker 2: We're over the hump. We'll see you Thursday at 5. Peace.
