Speaker 1: Six o'clock Clubbers at eight seven seven seven nine seven
0:03
Speaker 1: three nicolay Low dot Com talk and text line. We're
0:06
Speaker 1: talking Brewers, miss don Nelson, Hackers, Packers.
0:12
Speaker 2: Steelers, Bill. Do you want to see? Do you want
0:14
Speaker 2: to see Aaron Rodgers play on Thursday? Do you expecting it?
0:17
Speaker 2: I do.
0:17
Speaker 3: I'm not positive that we're gonna see it. But when
0:20
Speaker 3: I read that Aaron Rodgers is scheduled to do a
0:24
Speaker 3: media session with the local reporters here in Green Bay
0:27
Speaker 3: over the week, I would have thought maybe that he
0:28
Speaker 3: would very well could be then.
0:30
Speaker 2: And I think he just enjoys it, you know, the
0:32
Speaker 2: discard to get Phil Huber back.
0:35
Speaker 3: One question out of left field from Stuef Southing.
0:37
Speaker 4: I bet he'll play. I mean, gotta see him, don't
0:39
Speaker 4: we have me? Come on, he's for one series. You
0:43
Speaker 4: don't have to give me anything crazy. You don't have
0:45
Speaker 4: to roll out. You can just hand it off or
0:47
Speaker 4: throw a you know, a hitch. But man, come on,
0:50
Speaker 4: we gotta we gotta see him out there one more
0:52
Speaker 4: time again. The bed's our last well, maybe our last chance.
0:55
Speaker 4: Maybe it's gonna be a February fourteenth meeting. I understand,
0:59
Speaker 4: but we're all going on the way you're coach, Mike,
1:01
Speaker 4: you know.
1:02
Speaker 1: But this is the point, though, is the the controlled
1:06
Speaker 1: practice now preseason game three? Throwing it back a generation
1:10
Speaker 1: when they played four and the starters would playing in
1:12
Speaker 1: game three and then being bubble rap because the layoff
1:15
Speaker 1: between the last exbish game and the opener, it's like,
1:18
Speaker 1: what two weeks?
1:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, two and a half weeks A lot different. That's
1:21
Speaker 2: a lot different. So yeah, it's time to play.
1:25
Speaker 3: They're legit a month out if they play on Thursday
1:29
Speaker 3: night from when they play now. Matt Lafleur said, if
1:31
Speaker 3: you're you're a football player, if you're healthy, you should
1:33
Speaker 3: be expected, you should be ready to play. I do
1:35
Speaker 3: the wonder drew if they'd prefer to play them, if
1:38
Speaker 3: they're gonna get game action, If you'd get game action
1:41
Speaker 3: on Thursday, skip Denver, right, and then you get the
1:46
Speaker 3: joint practice, like you're talking to joint practices that you know,
1:49
Speaker 3: and the warm up at home, they'll come out, get
1:51
Speaker 3: in there early, they'll wave to the crowd, and then
1:54
Speaker 3: Love and all the other starters will take their paths.
1:56
Speaker 2: That's kind of what I'm wondering.
1:58
Speaker 3: Because you're right, that joint practice is schedule perfectly where
2:01
Speaker 3: it's much more that's.
2:03
Speaker 1: The third that's when they play, That's my guess. But
2:08
Speaker 1: rolling them out there like having Jordan Love play a
2:10
Speaker 1: series wouldn't be the worst thing.
2:12
Speaker 2: Not at all. Yeah, I wouldn't mind it.
2:14
Speaker 4: I know some people get nervous about those different approaches, right,
2:17
Speaker 4: but we don't really get that.
2:19
Speaker 2: You're right the old the old thing with the.
2:21
Speaker 1: Third game about Pittsburgh too, because that's where Jordy Nelson
2:24
Speaker 1: got the and they're throwing that little hitch on the
2:26
Speaker 1: first series of the game, the non football the non
2:31
Speaker 1: contact knee injury that he went down with like h
2:34
Speaker 1: and they are at a point where they're they've been
2:37
Speaker 1: uh and they got a lot of players who are
2:39
Speaker 1: in the all went healthy team Like.
2:41
Speaker 3: That would be that's the one thing that you could
2:43
Speaker 3: think back to and and be a little trepidation spot
2:45
Speaker 3: looking at when they've played in the preseason before, because
2:48
Speaker 3: he's played Jordan has played at least like one preseason
2:51
Speaker 3: game as the starting quarterback each year. The Cleveland game
2:56
Speaker 3: is the one that stands out in my mind a
2:58
Speaker 3: couple of years ago, and that was the first preseason
3:02
Speaker 3: game of twenty twenty three, I believe, or maybe that
3:07
Speaker 3: was twenty twenty four, throws one touchdown passes on Tavian
3:09
Speaker 3: Wex and then exits the ball game and then exits
3:12
Speaker 3: the entire preseason yep.
3:13
Speaker 2: And they wait until game one.
3:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was kind of the perfect scenario, right, we
3:16
Speaker 4: want to get you in once, we want to get
3:18
Speaker 4: you a series. Let's make it the quickest series possible
3:21
Speaker 4: by hitting a big tuddy right away. And that was
3:24
Speaker 4: just like perfectly, all right, it's all we need to see.
3:26
Speaker 4: You're good sitting out. So you know, it's always that
3:30
Speaker 4: kind of fine line between do you get your guys
3:32
Speaker 4: some run do you protect them because it's all well
3:35
Speaker 4: and good until one of them gets hurt and then
3:38
Speaker 4: everyone's gonna complain. So unfortunately, you can't totally be afraid
3:42
Speaker 4: of injury and football because it will happen eventually and
3:46
Speaker 4: you have to play at some point.
3:47
Speaker 2: But I get why people don't want to.
3:50
Speaker 4: And then the more and more that happens, the more
3:52
Speaker 4: less and less we care about preseason, and then it
3:54
Speaker 4: just becomes when's the regular season and it's that whole
3:56
Speaker 4: cycle again.
3:57
Speaker 2: So that whole cycle.
3:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, but someone's gonna play a year a year ago.
4:01
Speaker 3: Now it was at Lambeau. A year ago, would have
4:04
Speaker 3: been just under a month away from their first game
4:07
Speaker 3: August ninth, and they started up on September seventh, loving
4:10
Speaker 3: the first team offense played I believe two series. He
4:13
Speaker 3: was a robust, drew one of five right, and then
4:16
Speaker 3: exited the game and exited the preseason. So it's not
4:19
Speaker 3: necessarily just to get on a heater, but just to
4:22
Speaker 3: get the entire get the entire process.
4:24
Speaker 2: Rolling one process about the operation.
4:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So the Packers in practice abilia will
4:29
Speaker 1: be up there. Training Camp Live will air from eleven
4:32
Speaker 1: to one with Aaron Nagler in the co pilot's chair,
4:34
Speaker 1: which is going to be awesome.
4:35
Speaker 2: Which is going to be great.
4:36
Speaker 3: It's a g according to Mettlaflor, it is a high
4:40
Speaker 3: day today when a load day yesterday, high day today,
4:43
Speaker 3: load day tomorrow, walk through and then they'll and then
4:48
Speaker 3: they'll fire it up with with game action on Thursday night.
4:50
Speaker 3: So it should be a should be an intense one.
4:53
Speaker 3: We should get some one on ones, get a lot
4:55
Speaker 3: of a lot of it should be very very exciting.
4:58
Speaker 1: Now, it's been interesting because the last couple days way
5:01
Speaker 1: more from the public spotlight perhaps had some machinations, some
5:06
Speaker 1: things cooking, such as Anthony Belton being relegated to the number.
5:11
Speaker 3: Two unit and finding some I had thought that it
5:17
Speaker 3: was just going to be Anthony Belton moving around over
5:20
Speaker 3: to right tackle to allow for Jagger Burton and Jacob
5:24
Speaker 3: Monk to get some reps over there at right tackle.
5:25
Speaker 3: But to just straight go second unit felt like maybe
5:28
Speaker 3: more of an indication that the fifth round pick is
5:31
Speaker 3: going to play himself into one of these spots.
5:33
Speaker 1: Faco Bwell a return to the field, So right tackle
5:37
Speaker 1: is no longer that's no longer an issue, no longer
5:39
Speaker 1: a problem.
5:40
Speaker 2: Yes, but Belton was.
5:41
Speaker 1: Gonna start, and then now it looks like he might not,
5:44
Speaker 1: and he's looked like he's resigned to his fate already,
5:46
Speaker 1: even though a lot of ballgame left, Like don't you
5:49
Speaker 1: there's so much time, wouldn't you just say like there's
5:50
Speaker 1: still because somebody could get hurt and then he's a
5:52
Speaker 1: starter again, or you know, somebody could not have a
5:55
Speaker 1: good week and it could change. So it just seems
5:59
Speaker 1: like to declare, but it does seem like, well, he's
6:02
Speaker 1: a second teamer now.
6:03
Speaker 3: Well, and to feel like that is something that I
6:05
Speaker 3: think is one of the reasons why you do it
6:07
Speaker 3: as the coaching staff, Right, how do you handle it?
6:10
Speaker 3: How do you go back through the next three days
6:12
Speaker 3: or next week and a half, when we're still gonna
6:14
Speaker 3: have practice before you get a home preseason game in
6:16
Speaker 3: the third one and anything is decided. How do you
6:19
Speaker 3: handle running with the second unit? Do you take it
6:21
Speaker 3: and stride and do you play even better and elevate
6:23
Speaker 3: the unit or like this, is it a little bit
6:26
Speaker 3: more resigned to the fact of what's happening and just.
6:28
Speaker 2: Take it in stride like that.
6:29
Speaker 3: There's some mental tests I think here as well to
6:32
Speaker 3: the physical one, and that's an important part of it.
6:35
Speaker 3: Burton from the beginning of the offseason program had eyes
6:40
Speaker 3: on him, and it sounded like Lafleur had mentioned it
6:42
Speaker 3: a couple of times, like they're a good chance he
6:44
Speaker 3: could play his way onto the field. And maybe that's
6:46
Speaker 3: the other thing of just looking over his shoulder and seeing, well,
6:49
Speaker 3: that guy's really really good at that spot.
6:51
Speaker 2: He might be even better at it than I am.
6:53
Speaker 3: So I might just have to be moving on because
6:55
Speaker 3: I'm seeing what they're seeing as well.
6:57
Speaker 2: Is Belton in.
6:58
Speaker 1: A positional thing? Is he positionally pouting.
7:03
Speaker 2: I don't think.
7:04
Speaker 3: That's I don't think that's one thousand pounds no, because
7:09
Speaker 3: I think he's a tackle. Drew right like I thought
7:12
Speaker 3: he was a tackle coming out watching him last year,
7:14
Speaker 3: I thought he was more of a tackle. It's one
7:16
Speaker 3: of the reasons why Nags and I had talked about
7:18
Speaker 3: it throughout the off season that I think there could
7:21
Speaker 3: have been an opportunity if Jordan Morgan struggled early, which
7:25
Speaker 3: hasn't been the case. He's been really he's been pretty
7:28
Speaker 3: solid and I think improving each day, that maybe he
7:31
Speaker 3: got some looks over at left tackle. He would get
7:32
Speaker 3: a number of looks over at right tackle, in my opinion,
7:35
Speaker 3: if when Bacoboela is out and slow playing into team drills,
7:40
Speaker 3: but if you're not going to be be satisfied with
7:45
Speaker 3: rolling in wherever you can. He played well at guard
7:48
Speaker 3: a year ago, but I don't think he's the most
7:50
Speaker 3: comfortable at it.
7:52
Speaker 2: Maybe there is a little bit.
7:53
Speaker 3: Of this is the position I play, I'm better over here,
7:55
Speaker 3: and they're just not letting me be the best.
7:57
Speaker 2: Version of myself. I mean that consolation prize. I don't know.
8:01
Speaker 1: There are some guys who thought there were tackles end
8:03
Speaker 1: up being like ten year starters at guard, right, It's
8:05
Speaker 1: like that happened.
8:06
Speaker 3: Peter Skronsky is a great example of it. He was
8:09
Speaker 3: the number one tackle on the board coming out of
8:10
Speaker 3: Northwestern and he ends up being the eighth pick overall
8:14
Speaker 3: to Tennessee. Well, he's now in all Pro. Guarden just
8:17
Speaker 3: had a four year, one hundred million dollar deal minted
8:20
Speaker 3: in the track for a Hall of Fame career. Yeah,
8:21
Speaker 3: it'll play that way. You could see that a number
8:23
Speaker 3: at different times.
8:24
Speaker 1: So yeah, So that's fascinating. They do like Jacob Monk too.
8:28
Speaker 1: Is his stock rising because Belton's is falling?
8:31
Speaker 2: Or is it? Are they two things independent of each other.
8:34
Speaker 3: I think they're a little more independent of Jacob Mounks
8:37
Speaker 3: look good. He has looked really good. And the other
8:39
Speaker 3: part of it is he's gotten a lot of chances
8:42
Speaker 3: because the injuries, right, because of the injuries and Aaron
8:45
Speaker 3: Banks not being able to go in team. And I
8:47
Speaker 3: thought that was another way that Lafleur had made mention
8:50
Speaker 3: of it yesterday. It was mostly centered around Belton, But
8:53
Speaker 3: I can't give I want to say it was wildie,
8:55
Speaker 3: but I might be misremembering and who asked the question
8:57
Speaker 3: about Banks of at what point does he have to
9:00
Speaker 3: get on the field to like repetition, get some rhythm,
9:04
Speaker 3: and Lafloor only said, Drew, you want to get the
9:06
Speaker 3: operation rolling. You do want to make sure that we
9:09
Speaker 3: don't have procedural penalties with the snapcoun didn't say anything
9:11
Speaker 3: about cohesion, didn't say anything that we really love Aaron Banks,
9:14
Speaker 3: didn't say that he's the best version of himself, just said, yeah,
9:18
Speaker 3: you do want to get everybody on the field at
9:19
Speaker 3: some point.
9:20
Speaker 1: At what point do we say that Aaron Banks is
9:23
Speaker 1: the Jimmy Graham of the offensive line, A big, big
9:27
Speaker 1: expenditure for not much return, for.
9:29
Speaker 2: Not much return.
9:30
Speaker 3: He was good at times last year, but especially if
9:33
Speaker 3: you can get a former draft choice, a cheap labor
9:36
Speaker 3: guy that you think can play the same way, if
9:39
Speaker 3: not better, and more reliably in the lineup like Monk,
9:43
Speaker 3: it's it's a dangerous thing to be he set.
9:45
Speaker 2: Yourself up for. Yeah, he needs to get on the field.
9:49
Speaker 3: They can't make the club in the tub is one thing.
9:51
Speaker 3: He's gonna be on the club, right like that money's
9:53
Speaker 3: gonna be committee. He's gonna be on the club. But
9:55
Speaker 3: the lineup's another deal.
9:57
Speaker 2: The lineup is another deal and getting on the field
9:59
Speaker 2: man and for Jacob Monk this is year three.
10:03
Speaker 3: It was probably put up or shut up to the
10:05
Speaker 3: point of being on the team or not.
10:07
Speaker 2: And he has really.
10:08
Speaker 3: Answered the bell here the first two weeks, especially since
10:10
Speaker 3: the pads have come on.
10:11
Speaker 2: Well, your best five out there. We got to get
10:14
Speaker 2: our best five out there, and.
10:16
Speaker 1: What you make on the first and fifteenth doesn't weigh
10:18
Speaker 1: into that equation always. And for Anthony Belton, the tough
10:22
Speaker 1: thing is that the right tackle reps maybe have taken
10:27
Speaker 1: away some of the.
10:28
Speaker 3: Opportunity at right guard. But if you're not playing the
10:31
Speaker 3: best way, the best ball over at right guard. I
10:33
Speaker 3: think that was the other part he had said it.
10:35
Speaker 3: At this level for a reason, we got to be
10:38
Speaker 3: able to adjust. Obviously it's different, for sure, but there's
10:40
Speaker 3: no reason to make excusive. I've got to build a
10:42
Speaker 3: smooth transition because that's what we're here for, is to
10:45
Speaker 3: play ball and be versatile. The Packers versatility push with
10:49
Speaker 3: offensive linemen, I think you saw it last year, probably
10:53
Speaker 3: stunted Jordan Morgan's development a little bit. When you're still
10:57
Speaker 3: on the right side, still on the same side that
10:59
Speaker 3: you're going to be mostly going to.
11:00
Speaker 2: I think it would help.
11:01
Speaker 3: For Anthony Belton going right tackling right guard because they're
11:04
Speaker 3: going to need a swing guy there, and if his
11:07
Speaker 3: competition becomes more of Darien Cannard, that's that's a different
11:11
Speaker 3: place than they were anticipating being.
11:13
Speaker 2: Coming up in twenty twenty six. But not a bad spot.
11:15
Speaker 3: Have a former second round overall pick or second round
11:18
Speaker 3: pick two years in the ball being your break last
11:22
Speaker 3: in case of emergency guy in your swing tackle. That's
11:24
Speaker 3: not a terrible place to be, but definitely not as
11:27
Speaker 3: good as locking up a starting spot like he did
11:29
Speaker 3: after six or seven games.
11:30
Speaker 2: A year ago. Agreed.
11:31
Speaker 1: The intrigue isn't just on the offensive line defensive room.
11:35
Speaker 1: Here the secondary room. Oh my goodness, Keyshawn Nixon?
11:41
Speaker 2: Is he starting not so fast? Like?
11:43
Speaker 1: Let's who's running with the ones? Who's your is Keishawn Nixon?
11:47
Speaker 1: That that number one corner that he purported to be
11:50
Speaker 1: didn't have the juice yesterday, that's for sure. As Benchin
11:53
Speaker 1: Saint juice lines up with Brandon cs with the with
11:56
Speaker 1: the number ones. Now, I'll believe that when I see
11:59
Speaker 1: it in game action and for how much Benjamin Saint
12:04
Speaker 1: Juis is going to be able to perform in.
12:06
Speaker 2: That spot in the regular season.
12:08
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you this, Drue, nobody was celebrating more
12:11
Speaker 3: of that development yesterday than Packer's Twitter and anybody online,
12:14
Speaker 3: cause I don't know that anybody gets the I R
12:16
Speaker 3: up online like twenty five does.
12:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the number one enemy of Packer's Twitter, there's
12:20
Speaker 2: no question about it.
12:21
Speaker 4: That's just and maybe that's the way it's always going
12:23
Speaker 4: to be for a guy in that position. But they
12:26
Speaker 4: didn't even give him a break when their own guy,
12:27
Speaker 4: Matthew Golden was cooking it a little bit, because I'm like,
12:29
Speaker 4: all right, well, it's our guy, Like, you know, we
12:31
Speaker 4: can be happy about that, right, But it's like, oh no,
12:33
Speaker 4: here we go again with Keishan.
12:35
Speaker 2: But you're right, believe he gets cooked by Packer's Twitter.
12:37
Speaker 2: He does. That's just the way it goes. Though sometimes
12:40
Speaker 2: with that.
12:40
Speaker 1: Question, when I saw this, I'm like, all right, is
12:42
Speaker 1: this just the equivalent of like throwing the bats in
12:44
Speaker 1: the shower? So one practice like wake up call refocusing
12:48
Speaker 1: or would he register it that way? Would he you know,
12:52
Speaker 1: is it in the front because that hasn't happened very
12:54
Speaker 1: often that he ain't run out with the ones like
12:56
Speaker 1: do you remember, Like, no, it hasn't, hasn't happened much.
12:59
Speaker 3: I would think it would be somewhat of a little
13:01
Speaker 3: shot across the bow right would be getting a message
13:04
Speaker 3: of some kind one hundred percent. But I think also
13:07
Speaker 3: some of it is celebrates more of just how good
13:12
Speaker 3: and how legit.
13:13
Speaker 1: Brandon sees looks. Early on, I was impressed. It's the
13:17
Speaker 1: first time I'm watching him in drills, like, oh, he's
13:18
Speaker 1: really fluid. Oh man, he really moves. And then he's
13:20
Speaker 1: running stride for stride down the field with Christian Watson.
13:23
Speaker 2: Who's pretty fast. I'm like, well, okay, they got something
13:26
Speaker 2: with this guy. See what they like?
13:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows when the you know, when it starts
13:30
Speaker 1: counting for real, they'll get caught with his rookie showing
13:32
Speaker 1: at certain points, I'm sure, But man, i'm the raw
13:36
Speaker 1: skills are there.
13:37
Speaker 3: The skills are there, the physicality looks to be there,
13:39
Speaker 3: and I do think as well, he is going to
13:42
Speaker 3: be a welcomed edition in the tackling department on the outside, right,
13:45
Speaker 3: like his run fits seem to be be pretty on point.
13:49
Speaker 3: To he's not going to get run over and run
13:51
Speaker 3: away from over on the outside, and he is. He's
13:55
Speaker 3: confident in himself, just like you have to be at
13:57
Speaker 3: that spot. There's also a a old amount of self
14:00
Speaker 3: confidence you have to have to play corner in the
14:03
Speaker 3: National Football League, and this would be uh something that
14:06
Speaker 3: maybe takes a shot at the confidence. But again there's
14:08
Speaker 3: there's ways to respond to it, and Nixon has responded
14:12
Speaker 3: pretty well in his career, right like when when challenged
14:16
Speaker 3: he has responded well, maybe not too top cornerback in
14:20
Speaker 3: the league like people were hoping he was when he
14:22
Speaker 3: said I'm gonna be cute uh CB one on this
14:25
Speaker 3: team didn't say in the entire league.
14:27
Speaker 2: But I'll be.
14:29
Speaker 3: Surprised if Saint Juice is out there again with the
14:31
Speaker 3: ones here today.
14:32
Speaker 2: But you'll have to tune into training Camp live to
14:35
Speaker 2: find out that's right. Yeah, yeah, to find out.
14:38
Speaker 3: Maybe you have to be there right here on five
14:40
Speaker 3: Sports Radio cont to find out.
14:42
Speaker 2: Outstanding eight.
14:45
Speaker 3: And thank God for these beautiful position battles for us
14:49
Speaker 3: not to have to talk about smack right out of
14:50
Speaker 3: the kates after family night, yeah yeah, no, no kicking
14:54
Speaker 3: conversation we had seventeen minutes talking Packers and then have
14:57
Speaker 3: to kick made some kicks at Family Knights, so it
15:00
Speaker 3: was like, well, okay, yeah, def Con three.
15:03
Speaker 2: Hit a couple of good ones, missed one. That's fine.
15:05
Speaker 3: We're going to miss a couple of kicks. We'll figure
15:07
Speaker 3: it out. Smack the ball just looked like he striked
15:10
Speaker 3: the ball. Well, that's for sure.
15:12
Speaker 1: I didn't see on social Maybe I was too busy
15:14
Speaker 1: with the Brewers stuff and the injuries and that, but
15:16
Speaker 1: I didn't see, uh who which of the quarterbacks did
15:19
Speaker 1: the best job dropping at the bucket.
15:21
Speaker 2: I didn't see any highlights like that either. Usually that's
15:23
Speaker 2: a big one. Usually that's a big one.
15:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Wayne got excited when they started doing the
15:28
Speaker 3: celebration of the net drill. Hey you, Him and Larry
15:31
Speaker 3: were rather excited on the broadcast Love It.
15:34
Speaker 2: I think Love hit it once or twice. I did.
15:37
Speaker 3: I was rolling the two TVs, but the audio on
15:40
Speaker 3: the Brewers came at some point, so I missed that one.
15:42
Speaker 3: But hard not to miss the dropping of the bucket.
15:44
Speaker 3: The real life version of Jordan loved Matthew Golden.
15:47
Speaker 2: It's a good look. I mean that one awesome.
15:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that that shot that they get from the
15:52
Speaker 3: field maybe one of the best camera angles you possibly.
15:55
Speaker 2: Could get, maybe even better throw and better catch.
15:58
Speaker 3: So I like the dropping of the buck or the
16:00
Speaker 3: throwing it into the net when there's actual humans out there.
16:03
Speaker 3: And if Matthew Golden is going to be the net
16:05
Speaker 3: it celebrate. He's been maybe the talk of camp and
16:08
Speaker 3: it doesn't seem like it's going to slow down after
16:10
Speaker 3: his family.
16:10
Speaker 4: Now we are getting true indications he might be having
16:13
Speaker 4: a big year, and let's pray that that's real. Let's
16:15
Speaker 4: pray this is because that would be huge for the
16:17
Speaker 4: Packers if you get him and Jayden and wil Oh
16:20
Speaker 4: my goodness, I mean, that would be fantastic. If he
16:22
Speaker 4: took that next step and he's the guy that we
16:24
Speaker 4: hope he could be, that could be huge, huge for
16:26
Speaker 4: this team. So I'm just hoping it's all going to
16:28
Speaker 4: come to fruition, you know that we're I mean, it's
16:30
Speaker 4: a lot to be excited about this time of year,
16:32
Speaker 4: and then you have to wait to see what actually
16:34
Speaker 4: is true and not when the seasons starts.
16:35
Speaker 2: So, yeah, he gonna takes a month into the season.
16:38
Speaker 2: Has told us more than once.
16:39
Speaker 1: It takes a while to see what you got and
16:41
Speaker 1: see if everything this kind of starts to shake out
16:44
Speaker 1: a little bit. Damn near almost half a season now too,
16:47
Speaker 1: and when Parsons gets back, the Packers will be an
16:49
Speaker 1: entirely different operation.
16:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, much different there. Their weight room looks like a
16:53
Speaker 3: pretty sweet operation. Jake Laser getting that shout on ig Live.

18:22
Speaker 1: Wisconsin always been shank paps, can't go wrong. It's a
18:28
Speaker 1: good lineup of shows. But uh, you're of a vintage
18:31
Speaker 1: well you you might have some Don Nelson memories for us.
18:34
Speaker 1: And he's an Iowa guy. He's a Hawk guy, that's right.
18:36
Speaker 1: He forget he grew up in Rock Island, Illinois. Quad
18:39
Speaker 1: City's my first radio market.
18:40
Speaker 5: By the way, uh I, I wasn't around when he
18:44
Speaker 5: played at Iowa, but I always heard the stories about
18:46
Speaker 5: Nelly and uh those.
18:48
Speaker 2: Teams were okay.
18:49
Speaker 5: But remember, I don't know people remember Connie Hawkins was
18:52
Speaker 5: there at the same time but got caught up.
18:55
Speaker 2: Unfairly into a point shaving scandal.
18:57
Speaker 5: And Nelly always said if the Hawk could have played,
19:00
Speaker 5: this team would have been incredible because Ohio State was
19:02
Speaker 5: national champions, number one in the country with John Lucas
19:05
Speaker 5: and those guys. But Don Nelson a great hawky on
19:08
Speaker 5: some good Iowa teams back in the day when not
19:10
Speaker 5: too many teams went to the NCAA tournament.
19:12
Speaker 2: That's true, true.
19:15
Speaker 1: Right back he was an Iowa guy and then a
19:16
Speaker 1: Celtic and then a Bucks legendary coach. We were talking
19:19
Speaker 1: about his impact and just on the league and everything
19:23
Speaker 1: that he did. You know, he was revolutionary in terms
19:27
Speaker 1: of like still like his impact today still you know,
19:30
Speaker 1: and he retired as the winningest coach of all time.
19:32
Speaker 2: Right.
19:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wish I would have been here when he
19:34
Speaker 5: was here. I was in the Bay Area pretty much
19:37
Speaker 5: the entire time. He was out there the first time
19:38
Speaker 5: around with like a run TMC those guys. You know,
19:42
Speaker 5: I was there when Nelly was there, but I missed
19:44
Speaker 5: the fish ties and the drive and the tractors downtown
19:47
Speaker 5: and the press conferences at major gouls.
19:49
Speaker 2: Who's so I've been told. Yeah, oh my god, yeah,
19:51
Speaker 2: his availability, those are the best stories. He's just like, oh,
19:54
Speaker 2: there's the Bucks.
19:55
Speaker 1: Coach, like you'd see him like on water Streeter, like
19:57
Speaker 1: on the It was just like, Okay, he's out hanging
20:00
Speaker 1: Out'll be Taylor Jenkins.
20:02
Speaker 3: Now, maybe we'll just see Taylor Jenkins hanging out at
20:04
Speaker 3: the Milwaukee Public Market, just hang out, grabbing some fly.
20:07
Speaker 1: So he played at Brooks Central, uh, and then got
20:10
Speaker 1: into the basketball industry as well and being a GM
20:13
Speaker 1: and Donnie right yeah, yeah, Nelson was always a free spirit.
20:16
Speaker 1: I just love even even in his later days living
20:19
Speaker 1: in Hawaii, he grew the hair out, oh well.
20:21
Speaker 2: Known to Yeah.
20:22
Speaker 1: And then then his whole the whole farm thing that
20:25
Speaker 1: he did got him in with Willie Nelson and then
20:27
Speaker 1: they got the weed business together.
20:28
Speaker 2: I love that. So they were farming so great. He
20:30
Speaker 2: became a farmer, a weed farmer.
20:33
Speaker 1: But yeah, his second act was just something else that's
20:35
Speaker 1: as good as way playing poker with Willie Nelson, Woody Harrelson,
20:38
Speaker 1: guys like.
20:40
Speaker 5: Killing in and those Bucks teams were so good they
20:43
Speaker 5: just quite couldn't get over the hunt because oh, by
20:45
Speaker 5: the way, you had teams like the Fixers and the.
20:47
Speaker 2: Mixers and Celtics and all that.
20:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, there we go, Thanks Billy for your help.
20:51
Speaker 3: Nelly was Nell was looking at it right into my face.
20:54
Speaker 3: But that works basketball visionary for U with you know,
20:58
Speaker 3: in terms of coaching and stuff, point forward stuff with
21:01
Speaker 3: Paul Pressey and the stuff that he did and very innovative.
21:04
Speaker 2: Well I like that.
21:04
Speaker 4: Everyone's also just shouting on in the comments today their
21:07
Speaker 4: favorite eighties Bucks players A sid Mon Creeve. You mentioned
21:09
Speaker 4: Paul Pressey, Mike wit said Terry Cummings, although you spell them,
21:13
Speaker 4: I think it's spelled more like Whitney.
21:15
Speaker 2: It was a scene, but still good. You know about uh, you.
21:18
Speaker 4: Know you're gonna get a Paul mlkeskons in there.
21:22
Speaker 2: I mean all those.
21:22
Speaker 4: Guys Conlin, Sigma, Yeah, Sigma Sikma obviously, John Luke, I mean,
21:27
Speaker 4: pick your guy, all right, but he.
21:29
Speaker 2: Missed kareem right, Nelly missed Kareem by a year or two.
21:32
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I think because Kareem left in seventy seven, right, Drew,
21:36
Speaker 4: I think before that, Yeah, before that, Okay, I think
21:39
Speaker 4: that's when Nelly.
21:40
Speaker 2: Nelly started in seventy confirm that re believe, So that's
21:42
Speaker 2: my Yeah, it was the.
21:43
Speaker 1: Post uh Kareem era that he came in, as he
21:47
Speaker 1: had never coached. I remember a story that he was
21:50
Speaker 1: going to be a referee at one point. Really well,
21:53
Speaker 1: he wanted to stay in the game, but he wasn't sure,
21:54
Speaker 1: and then he ends up on Larry Costello's staff and
21:57
Speaker 1: then takes over. I don't think he ever got enough
21:59
Speaker 1: credit for being on those incredible Celtics teams that won
22:02
Speaker 1: so many championships. Picked although he was a key contributor
22:04
Speaker 1: to guys like Russell and he was always a double
22:07
Speaker 1: digit point guy, so he was a Yeah, he was
22:09
Speaker 1: a contribute. He wasn't just a bench guy Towel Waiver.
22:11
Speaker 1: He actually played and yeah, yeah, solid.
22:14
Speaker 4: Assistant for the Bucks in seventy six, then was head
22:16
Speaker 4: in seventy six seventy seven, So there you go.
22:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, that's quite the legacy. Yeah, it is,
22:24
Speaker 2: it is.
22:24
Speaker 1: I just thought of you because he was a people
22:26
Speaker 1: don't remember that he went to Iowa, That's true.
22:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know in Rock Island, American almost in Iowa's
22:30
Speaker 5: just across the bridge, across the Mississippi and the Quad Cities.
22:33
Speaker 5: And yeah, I got a history lesson on him when
22:36
Speaker 5: I was down there for my race first radio job,
22:38
Speaker 5: and actually his a couple of his teammates went to
22:42
Speaker 5: Iowa with him and played on that team from.
22:44
Speaker 2: Rock Island High School, the Rocks.
22:46
Speaker 5: One of the best high school nicknames, the Rock Island Rocks.
22:53
Speaker 2: It was just perfect, makes sense.
22:54
Speaker 4: You have to think too much about it, you know,
22:56
Speaker 4: the oldest thing about ourselves, the Rocks.
22:58
Speaker 2: In Industry town.
22:59
Speaker 5: Johnny Cash did Rock Island line one of his songs,
23:02
Speaker 5: Wow in the Day.
23:03
Speaker 2: Yeah about that, that's okay, Abs. So Dolph, did you
23:06
Speaker 2: make it the State Fair over the weekend?
23:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, got out there Friday night, saw Here Come the Mummy,
23:09
Speaker 5: saw a couple other bands.
23:10
Speaker 2: Baby. Yeah.
23:11
Speaker 5: It was a fun time. Had had some huge crowd
23:14
Speaker 5: on Friday, big, big, big crowd.
23:16
Speaker 2: Nice weather.
23:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean State Fair has been busting into the seams.
23:20
Speaker 1: There are times when navigating the crowds at stay fairs.
23:23
Speaker 1: It reminds me that there were days when Summerfest was
23:25
Speaker 1: like that. Summerfest a lot easier to navigate now than
23:27
Speaker 1: State Fair.
23:28
Speaker 5: It is, despite the fact that Summerfest gets you in
23:31
Speaker 5: free just about every day if you want to go.
23:32
Speaker 2: But it's just a different crowd. You've got a little
23:34
Speaker 2: bit of oldercross.
23:35
Speaker 5: So many families at State Fair, and it doesn't matter
23:37
Speaker 5: if it's the you know, the start.
23:38
Speaker 1: By the way and Lenna and Billy you I mean
23:41
Speaker 1: Lena and yes, Billy, your your boys, Carson and Benson
23:44
Speaker 1: love them. They should go to State Fair. Get them
23:46
Speaker 1: home after eight o'clock. The strollers after eight pm. I
23:50
Speaker 1: will die on that hill. I raised a child. If
23:52
Speaker 1: you got your kid at State Fair after eight pm,
23:54
Speaker 1: you are selfish bastard.
23:56
Speaker 2: You're there for you because they're not for them.
23:58
Speaker 1: Yes, and you can have beery your house, you know,
24:01
Speaker 1: just you don't need to be clogging up the walkways
24:04
Speaker 1: and all exposing your kids to the drunks after eight pm.
24:06
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, Drew. The last part is the
24:08
Speaker 3: exposure that you get. You learn a lot of things
24:10
Speaker 3: there after clock. Oh yeah, at state Fair. And also
24:14
Speaker 3: there's it can't be comfortable the head cramped down laying
24:19
Speaker 3: there like trying to rest their head and the stroller
24:21
Speaker 3: on their shoulder.
24:22
Speaker 4: Just get them to the bed right right, You couldn't
24:25
Speaker 4: set set it better. I mean, it's just about yourself
24:28
Speaker 4: at that point.
24:28
Speaker 2: It's it's a good point. And they need to hear
24:30
Speaker 2: loud cover bands.
24:32
Speaker 3: They probably do enjoy a little seazy tops. My kids
24:36
Speaker 3: do like a sharp dressed man every once in a while,
24:38
Speaker 3: and then when they hear somebody ripping that one.
24:40
Speaker 5: Off, you'd probably have to put headphones on them. If
24:41
Speaker 5: you're sticking around some of those cloud out there. You
24:45
Speaker 5: know one place you mentioned Summerfest. One place where state
24:48
Speaker 5: Fair trump Summerfest is the beer scene. State Fair has
24:51
Speaker 5: so many different beers if you want, and it doesn't
24:55
Speaker 5: matter what brew you're talking about. They've got the Micro
24:58
Speaker 5: which has I don't know, forty your f fifty different beers. Right,
25:01
Speaker 5: but Yingling's got a place out there now. You can
25:03
Speaker 5: get yourself a black and tan, you can get you
25:05
Speaker 5: can get everything from bush Light to miller Lite.
25:07
Speaker 2: That's right.
25:08
Speaker 3: That Micro is a weapon, though, that is an absolute
25:11
Speaker 3: weapon in a dangerous spot, insanely packed by the way
25:14
Speaker 3: on Friday Night.
25:15
Speaker 1: And the food offerings I mean because it goes without
25:17
Speaker 1: saying the food is like way way more expansive than Summerfest.
25:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
25:22
Speaker 1: Music at Summerfest is superior, sure in virtually every aspect
25:26
Speaker 1: but food and drink. I get you to give you.
25:28
Speaker 1: I like them both. They're different experiences. I like them both.
25:31
Speaker 3: That's what I like about them being in different parts
25:32
Speaker 3: of the summer. The other part about State Fair that
25:34
Speaker 3: just cannot go unmatched by anybody.
25:38
Speaker 2: It is the greatest people watching you're ever going to see.
25:40
Speaker 2: No doubt y.
25:41
Speaker 3: State Fair is the best people watching you're ever going
25:43
Speaker 3: to see. From people walking in getting four to five
25:45
Speaker 3: vacuum cleaners.
25:46
Speaker 2: That was my old boss.
25:47
Speaker 3: He's like, we lived in the middle of the state,
25:49
Speaker 3: so we came down here for all of our shopping.
25:52
Speaker 3: My mom would get a vacuum cleaner. We're getting free
25:54
Speaker 3: because it's a deal. All of a sudden, it's flooring.
25:57
Speaker 3: We're gonna get six boxes if we're gonna drive it
25:59
Speaker 3: back up. Tom.
26:01
Speaker 2: If you're going to the Expo hall, the big Expo.
26:03
Speaker 5: Hall, you might just want to cool off because it's
26:05
Speaker 5: always air conditioning in the middle.
26:07
Speaker 2: It rains. But yeah, you can walk out of there with.
26:09
Speaker 3: A hot tub yep, a new mattress, yeah, golf cart
26:13
Speaker 3: that seats nine people.
26:15
Speaker 5: Right, maybe you just want to swing on the cirp
26:16
Speaker 5: days things in the back. I mean, there's just something
26:19
Speaker 5: there for everybody. Man, the amount of knives people buying.
26:22
Speaker 3: I mean cutting around the sala maker is also a
26:26
Speaker 3: weapon that you're gonna laugh at the salta maker. And
26:28
Speaker 3: then when you spin that son of a gun and
26:31
Speaker 3: you fire in those onions as quick as possible, it.
26:34
Speaker 5: Is worse weapon the trip to go up every aisle
26:37
Speaker 5: at least watch.
26:39
Speaker 2: That's what they recruit new broadcasting talent.
26:41
Speaker 4: I swear, Oh you guys, run here to just see
26:44
Speaker 4: what I'm doing right here with these I know you
26:45
Speaker 4: do it.
26:46
Speaker 2: You do it right there in front of you.
26:47
Speaker 4: The onions and the tomatoes, onions and the tomatoes, and
26:49
Speaker 4: now you've thrown a little bit of pepper, and look
26:51
Speaker 4: out quick.
26:52
Speaker 2: I can do it.
26:52
Speaker 3: And the thing is they can't. They can't have a
26:54
Speaker 3: moment like the young lady did on QVC that fireroll
26:57
Speaker 3: this past weekend. Right, I can find that they make
26:59
Speaker 3: one slip up and call a blowout a blow something else.
27:03
Speaker 2: They can't start laughing. It's great.
27:05
Speaker 3: They gotta keep rolling because they got a live audience.
27:08
Speaker 2: They're a live action.
27:09
Speaker 3: In there, and that's the people sitting there in those
27:11
Speaker 3: very very uncomfortable small folding chairs and.
27:13
Speaker 4: They work all day to possibly get fifteen to twenty
27:16
Speaker 4: marks right in front of them and make a couple
27:17
Speaker 4: of sales and try and make a living.
27:18
Speaker 2: That's that's life, right.
27:19
Speaker 5: I did a live thing at the Wheel and Sprocket
27:21
Speaker 5: Bike show earlier this year, and they put me right
27:23
Speaker 5: next to the gutter guard guy where they have the
27:24
Speaker 5: little display with the water run. Yeah, and you know
27:28
Speaker 5: he's doing a show every time somebody walks by. And
27:31
Speaker 5: I turned to him, I said, dude, where do you
27:33
Speaker 5: find the energy to do this radio?
27:35
Speaker 2: Right?
27:36
Speaker 5: I know, I mean just NonStop And most people are like,
27:39
Speaker 5: you know, sneering at your saying no thanks or whatever,
27:41
Speaker 5: you know, ninety nine point nine percent.
27:43
Speaker 2: But boy, that's a different breed of people that does that.
27:46
Speaker 5: And they go to every state fair in every market
27:49
Speaker 5: or whatever festival.
27:50
Speaker 3: Now that's the person to ask if Wisconsin State Fair
27:52
Speaker 3: is better than the Minnesota State Fair. Yeah, right, Like
27:55
Speaker 3: they would actually have that had to had comparison. Now,
27:58
Speaker 3: they probably gass you up because they're trying to get
27:59
Speaker 3: a sure, but they'll let you know because they've seen
28:02
Speaker 3: every single one of them.
28:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, Minnesota State Fair likes to break their is a
28:05
Speaker 5: little later, right is it around day day?
28:08
Speaker 1: It's back to school time for college. It's quite the time.
28:11
Speaker 1: And their complex is massive. I've seen it is, and
28:14
Speaker 1: they've got good food there too.
28:15
Speaker 5: Their their music, headliner entertainment is better than ours, but
28:20
Speaker 5: they have a far bigger budget. There was a time
28:22
Speaker 5: when the Wisconsin State Fair. When I got here in
28:24
Speaker 5: the mid nineties, George Strait played the Wisconsin State Fair.
28:28
Speaker 5: Garth Brooks played the Wisconsin State Fair. Garth you never
28:31
Speaker 5: see that. I mean I remember def Leppard playing out
28:33
Speaker 5: there years and years ago, and you just don't see
28:35
Speaker 5: that quality. Although Bailey Zimmerman Saturday Night, he's the next
28:38
Speaker 5: big arena concert stadium act, and you know he was
28:42
Speaker 5: getting one hundred and twenty dollars a ticket Saturday Night.
28:45
Speaker 2: I'm he and l Langley are soon to be in
28:47
Speaker 2: State Wow on fire.
28:50
Speaker 4: I was in Target and I heard the Texas song
28:53
Speaker 4: Choose in Texas and there was like every people singing
28:56
Speaker 4: that song as I was walking through.
28:59
Speaker 2: West It is one of the thickest earworms around right now.
29:02
Speaker 2: You're probably not gonna see her at State Fair next year.
29:04
Speaker 3: No no, but you might see her throwing on a
29:07
Speaker 3: brewer's jersey or a packer's journey. She was like, damn
29:10
Speaker 3: near broke the internet in Baltimore when she threw on
29:12
Speaker 3: that Raven's jersey att M and T Bank Stadium. She said, y'all,
29:16
Speaker 3: don't worry about it. I written abou jet my dress
29:17
Speaker 3: and can I just say dress just on zips in
29:19
Speaker 3: the middle of the sests She's like, give me something
29:21
Speaker 3: to cover this up before I give the internet more
29:23
Speaker 3: fuel to the moon than they possibly can have.
29:26
Speaker 5: And it's so exciting for me to see this because
29:28
Speaker 5: country music radio just just sucked at playing female artists
29:32
Speaker 5: up until a couple of years ago. And now you
29:33
Speaker 5: got three of them that are selling out arenas and stadiums.
29:36
Speaker 5: Ella Langley, Lanny Wilson and Megan Maroney sold that summer
29:40
Speaker 5: in a couple of houses.
29:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, they really are.
29:42
Speaker 4: Can you can you answer? Like this is a radio
29:44
Speaker 4: DJ question for me. Do we is it popular because
29:48
Speaker 4: we hear it? Or do we hear it because it's
29:49
Speaker 4: popular or is it just some of both? Is that
29:52
Speaker 4: the reality of this? Well with those trees a lot.
29:54
Speaker 4: I mean, but that's because people like the song. But
29:56
Speaker 4: we hear it a lot. We tend to like songs.
29:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're hearing it because it's popular when it comes
30:00
Speaker 5: to those three right, Yeah, I mean Elani Wilson. They
30:02
Speaker 5: did an incredible Netflix special on that you can still
30:04
Speaker 5: see right now to see her life story.
30:06
Speaker 2: Pretty cool. But he's also got a football connection, she does.
30:10
Speaker 2: Duck Hodges married to Duck Hodges. Their husband a great
30:13
Speaker 2: name who had a couple of starts with the Steelers.
30:16
Speaker 3: He was the Mason Rudolph before Mason Ruck. He would
30:19
Speaker 3: just start like three games for like four consecutive years
30:21
Speaker 3: because they didn't want to win, but they couldn't get
30:23
Speaker 3: anybody better.
30:24
Speaker 4: To be like, you're just a cool guy. If your
30:26
Speaker 4: nickname is waterfowl, you know what I mean? Right? Run out?
30:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, Duck.
30:32
Speaker 5: Now he's like an outdoor influencer living. Yeah, you kind
30:36
Speaker 5: of have to Devlin. If your name was exactly, if
30:38
Speaker 5: your name was Duck and you weren't an outdoor influencer,
30:41
Speaker 5: what you'd like?
30:42
Speaker 2: You know? It just wouldn't work. And his real name
30:44
Speaker 2: is Devlin. Definitely great name.
30:46
Speaker 1: Definitely Duck Hodges Brewers are having a country music night
30:48
Speaker 1: later in the they are col Swindell Girls Game Concert.
30:53
Speaker 2: That's August twenty eighth.
30:54
Speaker 4: I thought that had for the longest time was a
30:56
Speaker 4: CS that he wears. And it's actually Georgia State, right,
30:58
Speaker 4: Georgia or Georgia Southern.
31:01
Speaker 5: I forget which one. Whatever his alma monter is, that's
31:03
Speaker 5: what he's wearing, that GS. And I'm with your arm
31:06
Speaker 5: And I think I asked him that question all the time.
31:08
Speaker 5: I said, are you wearing your own?
31:09
Speaker 2: Merchant?
31:09
Speaker 4: I thought he branded himself, which is normal for guys.
31:13
Speaker 5: If my memory serves to be right. He was Luke
31:15
Speaker 5: Bryan's merch guy, and Luke kind of ushered him into
31:18
Speaker 5: the business. They I think they both went to Georgia Southern.
31:21
Speaker 5: Maybe you're right, maybe just Georgia State. He went to
31:24
Speaker 5: a star, so it is Georgia Southern. Okay, Okay, Yeah,
31:27
Speaker 5: he went from merch guy to the stage.
31:29
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's a glow up right there.
31:31
Speaker 5: I think Luke kind of took care of him and
31:33
Speaker 5: you know, tutored him in the ways of country music
31:37
Speaker 5: and now look at him.
31:37
Speaker 2: I love that, Yeah, I love stories. Yeah he's so.
31:40
Speaker 2: He's playing the birds game. It's been a while since
31:41
Speaker 2: save down a country night. That's true.
31:43
Speaker 4: And I heard mixed reactions about the Nelly show at Summerfest.
31:46
Speaker 4: He was a big I'm sorry to stay fair.
31:48
Speaker 2: What's the deal?
31:48
Speaker 4: Well, it depends what you hear from. Some people thought
31:50
Speaker 4: it was good. Some people didn't think he played enough
31:52
Speaker 4: of the old, you know, hip hop band.
31:54
Speaker 2: I got some new stuff coming up.
31:56
Speaker 4: That's the thing. My buddy Brad, Brad Slwawski, big listener.
31:59
Speaker 4: If you're out there, I go all the way back
32:00
Speaker 4: with him for a little league. He's like my wife
32:02
Speaker 4: loved the country stuff, but I wanted to hear the
32:04
Speaker 4: old hip hop bangers.
32:05
Speaker 2: He's like they played.
32:06
Speaker 4: He played Pimp Choos only for sixty seconds.
32:10
Speaker 2: Sixty seconds of Pimpchus.
32:13
Speaker 4: I was like, Brad, he's got too many bangers that
32:15
Speaker 4: kids now, it's hard to be a pimp. Maybe it
32:17
Speaker 4: ain't easy, as they won time. So if you didn't
32:20
Speaker 4: like this show Nelly, just wait a few months. He's
32:22
Speaker 4: coming back.
32:23
Speaker 2: Nell.
32:23
Speaker 4: He plays so much in Milwaukee, it feels like he does.
32:25
Speaker 4: He's a road dog, for sure. He's a road dog.
32:28
Speaker 4: He was not turning down any checks for shows.
32:30
Speaker 3: You know, I'm a little disappointed that Big Time Rushes
32:33
Speaker 3: and that State Fair like it was last year though
32:36
Speaker 3: they were the ones that are they were the ones
32:38
Speaker 3: that got rained out, uh last year from State Fair
32:41
Speaker 3: and Big Time Rush that Nickelodeon show turned boy band
32:45
Speaker 3: true spectacular viewing back.
32:47
Speaker 2: But you get you get a j R. You get
32:50
Speaker 2: all American regions.
32:51
Speaker 5: He just said, yeah, great man, it's a solid lineup
32:54
Speaker 5: this year at the State Fair.
32:54
Speaker 2: You know, the Beach Boys dropped off at the end,
32:56
Speaker 2: but that was.
32:56
Speaker 5: The old haven't They weren't all They weren't do you guys?
33:00
Speaker 5: She Shannon and I go round and round about this
33:02
Speaker 5: and she hates me for it. I'll go to set list.
33:05
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we've had this debate.
33:07
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned Nelly.
33:08
Speaker 5: Before I decide to go, I'm gonna see what the
33:10
Speaker 5: set list is, and it does change. And you got
33:12
Speaker 5: guys like Springsteen who never repeat a set list. Never,
33:15
Speaker 5: It's always different. Most artists will give you that same
33:18
Speaker 5: set list. So if you see a couple of days
33:19
Speaker 5: before you go, okay, I'm gonna have to check this.
33:21
Speaker 2: Lara loves that, Shannon hates me.
33:24
Speaker 3: For it, just wants to be there, takes out. There
33:28
Speaker 3: is something to be said for planning for it. If
33:30
Speaker 3: you're at Summerfest friends, I'm kind of like golf, so
33:32
Speaker 3: I was always trying to see if I can find
33:33
Speaker 3: the Christmas presents. Yeah, I'm taking her out in the
33:36
Speaker 3: in the closets, seeing if I can see what.
33:37
Speaker 2: We understandable and then I can be traffic I can.
33:39
Speaker 1: It's one of my dang right beefs with Tom Petty,
33:42
Speaker 1: Like he didn't change the setless night tonight or tour
33:44
Speaker 1: to tour.
33:45
Speaker 2: Sometimes it was the same same songs in the same order.
33:48
Speaker 2: He didn't, you know, it was incredible to see him.
33:50
Speaker 5: But yeah, you did the same set list and you
33:52
Speaker 5: get the same But if you so much, thank you
33:55
Speaker 5: so much.
33:56
Speaker 4: If you know what you're getting is that it is exciting,
33:59
Speaker 4: Like that's part of it too. It's sort of like
34:01
Speaker 4: I know what I'm getting my grandma wrapped as present,
34:03
Speaker 4: but we went shopping at Coole, so I already know
34:05
Speaker 4: what's a packer's jersey, Like I love a backer's jersey,
34:07
Speaker 4: but there's no surprise there, so it goes back and forth.
34:10
Speaker 4: I can see both sides of it, you know, And
34:12
Speaker 4: there's the way to plan and say, you know what,
34:13
Speaker 4: I don't want to hear the new stuff. I want
34:15
Speaker 4: to hear my banger and leave. And I get that too,
34:18
Speaker 4: because I'm an older guy now and I'm an old man.
34:20
Speaker 2: Yeah you are. You're probably gonna go watch Peter Noon
34:22
Speaker 2: of Herman Hermots. Yeah, there you go. I don't actually
34:25
Speaker 2: know what that is Happy Together Tour. No, I don't know.
34:31
Speaker 5: Something tells me I'm into something good, right, Herman Hermot's doll.
34:35
Speaker 2: Thank you for dropping by. Thanks you always.
34:37
Speaker 1: We made it through halftime of the huddle on the
34:40
Speaker 1: Monday edition, Donovan Jorgenson heating and cooling, Billy, Who do
34:45
Speaker 1: you got for? Who's hot and who's not?
34:46
Speaker 2: I get to say who's not hot?
34:48
Speaker 3: To the La Dodgers celebrate that whenever you can one
34:51
Speaker 3: in eight in their last nine, they try.
34:54
Speaker 2: To get that big guy. I have that big guy
34:55
Speaker 2: that they picked up. Who's that?
34:57
Speaker 4: What?
34:57
Speaker 2: That guy? What's that?
34:58
Speaker 3: The trade deadline side Young Guy Scooba will start today
35:02
Speaker 3: for the Dodgers as they try to put the paddles
35:04
Speaker 3: to their last week and a half who don't look
35:07
Speaker 3: now drew the red hot Atlanta Braves if the season
35:11
Speaker 3: and today would be their number two seed in the
35:13
Speaker 3: National as Dodgers.
35:16
Speaker 1: Let the Dodgers play that first round series, get a
35:18
Speaker 1: chance to lose, and just put some miles on the tires.
35:21
Speaker 2: Really love it? Absolutely no. Yeah, who's hot? Who's not?
35:25
Speaker 1: Donovan Jordanson employee owned for forty years. They're hot, always hot,
35:28
Speaker 1: always hot, always hot. Yeah, it looks like you never
35:33
Speaker 1: know what the Brewers, but it looks like we could
35:35
Speaker 1: be on track for a Henderson Scoobale matchup on Sunday
35:39
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium. And how sweet would that be? I mean, like,
35:42
Speaker 1: like the irony department.
35:43
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say, could the irony department write a
35:45
Speaker 3: better script for that?
35:46
Speaker 2: The guy everybody wanted against? The guy the Brewers wouldn't
35:48
Speaker 2: give up?
35:49
Speaker 3: And frankly, I haven't encountered a ton of Brewers fans
35:53
Speaker 3: that have been disappointed with that decision. I've heard a
35:56
Speaker 3: ton of national people clown the decision, and understandably so,
36:00
Speaker 3: you don't watch a ton of Brewers baseball if you're
36:03
Speaker 3: you know, doing national television shows and Schooble's the bigger name,
36:07
Speaker 3: and it's definitely the pop. But I just from the
36:11
Speaker 3: quality of the return, how much he needed. I'm excited
36:14
Speaker 3: for Wednesday. You want to talk about the matchups of
36:16
Speaker 3: the acquisitions Ray against may Brewers and Padres, because don't
36:20
Speaker 3: look now the Padres, they've won seven of their last ten.
36:22
Speaker 3: They've been pretty good. They just won their series against
36:25
Speaker 3: the Astros over the weekend. And who's also hot. Fernando
36:28
Speaker 3: Tutis had been potentially one of the worst hitters in
36:31
Speaker 3: baseball all year long. It took him, I think it
36:35
Speaker 3: was four weeks or six weeks to hit his first
36:38
Speaker 3: home run. He's got three in the last five games.
36:41
Speaker 3: He had an absolute tank shot yesterday into the third
36:47
Speaker 3: deck area that they have there in Petgo Park. That's
36:49
Speaker 3: super cool building that they have there down the left
36:52
Speaker 3: field line, absolute mammoth shot. He had a double as
36:54
Speaker 3: well in three RBIs. Fernando Tutis has been hot and
36:57
Speaker 3: it's one of the reasons why the Padres. One didn't
36:59
Speaker 3: trade Mason Miller, didn't trade any of their bullpen guys. Instead,
37:02
Speaker 3: they tried to add and the Brewers will be there
37:04
Speaker 3: coming up tonight. Later on tonight, also in the hot department,
37:08
Speaker 3: winners of eight of their last ten. They just continually are.
37:11
Speaker 3: You can just keep them in here for the seemingly
37:13
Speaker 3: the rest of time. How about the Boston Red Sox,
37:15
Speaker 3: They're ever gonna start losing here again, Drew. They lost
37:18
Speaker 3: two straight games to just Sully and soil their entire
37:22
Speaker 3: month of August, losing a series against the A's seven
37:26
Speaker 3: to three, and then a four to three decision yesterday.
37:28
Speaker 3: But it has been a magic carpet ride, to say
37:32
Speaker 3: the least, for the Boston Red Sox in the last
37:34
Speaker 3: month and a half. Loving that, I think I mark
37:36
Speaker 3: the stadium also what in the that category. I saw
37:39
Speaker 3: a lot of people complaining about the new high Mark
37:41
Speaker 3: Stadium in Buffalo too many. Oh, I saw nobody complaining
37:43
Speaker 3: about the stadium. I saw everybody complaining about the jerseys
37:46
Speaker 3: they wore that looked like PEPSI I saw some of that,
37:48
Speaker 3: but a lot of people I thought I saw obstructed
37:51
Speaker 3: views and things like that. The smaller video board.
37:54
Speaker 4: I don't know there was some of that on the
37:56
Speaker 4: X for me, So I don't know if you guys
37:58
Speaker 4: saw it, maybe not, But.
38:00
Speaker 3: No, I didn't see any of that I saw a
38:01
Speaker 3: lot of people clowning the again the weirdest Silver Bills
38:07
Speaker 3: jerseys that they decided to have Josh Allen trot out
38:10
Speaker 3: for in their open practice. Stadium looks sweet, looks massive.
38:13
Speaker 3: Also looks like every other NFL stadium pretty much. That's
38:16
Speaker 3: kind of getting built right now. They all look like
38:18
Speaker 3: they're going from the same spot. Also in the hot
38:22
Speaker 3: keat Girl, Let's celebrate the Hall of Famers. Larry Fitzgerald,
38:25
Speaker 3: one of the classiest human beings of all time, goes
38:27
Speaker 3: into the Hall of Fame alongside Luke Keikley, Adam Venattieri,
38:31
Speaker 3: Roger Craig who if you really look at his impact
38:35
Speaker 3: on football and how that running back room plays should
38:38
Speaker 3: have been in a long time ago as well. Very
38:41
Speaker 3: very exciting weekend for all of the Hall of Famers,
38:44
Speaker 3: to say the least. Andrew Brees first ballot Hall of
38:47
Speaker 3: Famer goes in great. Great weekend for the Hall of Fame.
38:50
Speaker 3: Always one of my favorite ones to wash it because
38:52
Speaker 3: it's the nerdy moment we get to enjoy all he's
38:55
Speaker 3: been through. Some of the speeches I listened to a
38:58
Speaker 3: decent amount of them. Larry Fitzgerald was one that I
39:00
Speaker 3: just could not miss. I tuned in and saw the
39:02
Speaker 3: kicker up there for a while.
39:05
Speaker 2: Was up there. He was up there for a while,
39:06
Speaker 2: that's for sure.
39:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, he was not pulling any punches out of
39:10
Speaker 3: Venari had some fun uh and uh he had Jim Mersey,
39:14
Speaker 3: the late Jim Mercy's daughter uh be the one that
39:17
Speaker 3: inducted him.
39:17
Speaker 2: Larry Fitzgerald was a sad one man.
39:19
Speaker 3: His dad was set to uh introduce him and inducted
39:22
Speaker 3: him into the Hall of Fame, passed away lost his
39:24
Speaker 3: battle with I believe cancer a couple of months ago,
39:26
Speaker 3: so Larry had his son induct him. And Larry was
39:31
Speaker 3: one of those guys who he was my favorite player
39:33
Speaker 3: to watch on a team that I thought would just
39:35
Speaker 3: never impact my Packers fandom. And then we got fitzgeralded
39:39
Speaker 3: there in the twenty fifteen playoffs and I had to
39:42
Speaker 3: hate him for like seven minutes. But he's the nicest,
39:44
Speaker 3: classiest player and I never watched him drop a ball.
39:47
Speaker 3: Hard to hate that dude. An incredible, incredible player.
39:50
Speaker 2: By the way.
39:51
Speaker 1: On the way out here, Billy Schmid is our current
39:53
