• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Taking no prisoners On a Monday of the good Land.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's the Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin Drew Wilson Armansarien
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: joined by our pal Bill Schmid on his way up
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to Green Bay.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Hello, Billy, what's happening? Fella's a good way to start
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: up a Monday.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, getting ready for Training Camp Live as you do
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: double duty. An hour of the Huddle and then Training
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Camp Live with the great Wayne Levy, who, by the way,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: joins us at seven to twenty five.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: That is a beautiful thing. Wayne, oh is going to
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: be in rare form because this is our final week.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: These are the final two days. Yeah, And it is strange, Drew,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: because we finish up camp. We're this close to the end,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: but we're still so far away from the actual game
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: that matters. So there is a waiting period, no doubt
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: about it. But this is high fashion week. This is
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the fun one. If you haven't been up there for
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: one of the training camp practices, you get two chances.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Might be a little late to make the arrangements for today,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: but definitely make sure you're there and there early coming
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: up on Wednesday, because that's gonna be one you want
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: to see and today. It's going to be the high
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: fashion practice of the year. Packer's winning thirty three thirteen
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: in the Mile High City on Friday, we were helming
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Packers ot it was a pretty good effort all around.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Trace Mack continues to shine. Marshall Lloyd caught a touch
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: on first offense.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Look good. Jordan Love didn't hit his hand on anybody's helmet.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: That's the best part, which is good because he ain't
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: gonna play on Friday night.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: No, and Drew, I was kind of doing this exercise
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: thinking through this is the least misjointed offseason that Jordan
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Love has had. That's true as the starter of the
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers the first year, every conversation, rightfully, so
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the first year as a starter, how are you going
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: to take over for Aaron Rodgers. Then he has the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: contract conversation where he misses the first week plus in
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the year two. Last year with the hand, wasn't taking
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: any snaps under center for a good week and a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: half two weeks, and then that even bled into the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: season where that was eliminated. And now I mean again,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: knock on wood, we're close, but not there. He's going
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to finish up training camp healthy, confident and practicing every
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: single day. That's a heck of a way to start.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: He's just got to get through Wednesday. Just got to
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: get through Wens not hit his hand on anybody's helmet,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and we got.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: The red jersey on. So let's not try to be
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: let's not try to be heroes.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Almost trying to be a hero Baron Sowell, Right, the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: guys like that, Yeah, yeah, or Josh Sweat. Maybe it's
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: gonna be interesting right with the joint practice because the
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: trend has been fights, not that this doesn't happen as
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: happens every year, but the trend has been fights across
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: the NFL.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine the brother Mike and Matt Gotta like,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you know, Laflour's not into that. He thinks it's stupid
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that they shouldn't fight, but it is hard to avoid. Well,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you can't control them as old as time. It happens,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: like every time there's a And.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I'm just excited to see who ultimately gets into it
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: because a couple of years ago when they did it
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: against c Yeattle, I think right was when Elton Jenkins
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: got into it then ended up finding himself playing the
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: whole first half of the final preseason game is a
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: nice little punishment. We'll see if anybody finds themselves in
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: on on Friday night that wasn't planning on playing.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: When you're talking about a game like football and guys
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: start seeing a different uniform finally, and one guy plays
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: harder than you think he should, and he's pushing harder
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: and you push back. It's hard to control the emotions
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and the minds and bodies when they see you red
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: athletes like that. You know, so you never know what
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: will happen.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: We'll never know, never know. Billy got to put a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: quarter in you and ask what you thought about the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: presentation last night of the Brewers and the Little League
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: World Series Classic against the Brave. Game didn't go their
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: way four to two loss, so they didn't sweep the series,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But what did you think of the pump and circumstance
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and the ceremony and the majesty and the mystery that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: was the Brewers trip to Williams Well.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I would say the social media department gets an A plus.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Like I thought, all the coverage online was phenomenal them
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: even getting off the plane.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it happened on Sunday morning morning.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Instead of on Saturday night, but made more sense to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: enjoy the whole day, like the full runway of the day,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and you could tell that the guys genuinely enjoyed it,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: and at some point you hope that you don't have to.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: But when guys have made millions upon millions of dollars
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: playing and they're in the midst of the most important
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: drive stretch, it's not like this was the Rockies and
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: A's right, like this is this is an important game.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: These are two extremely good teams, division leaders that are
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: trying to get themselves ready for the playoffs in a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: month and a half. And I don't know that everybody
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: would go into it to have as much fun and
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: just let it be as both teams seemingly did. It
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: seemed like it was phenomenal, from the interactions with the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: kids to Walt Weiss and Murphy getting interviewed during the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: game where you got to hear Murphy baby get out
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: by Okay, there.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: We go, there we go.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: So I thought it was I thought it was a one.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Now I will say I had accidentally tapped in on
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the alumni cast a couple of times back to the
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: other I didn't watch that one. I didn't realize that
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: there were two broadcasts. I didn't know it was. I
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: didn't know that it was a college football playoff game
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: where we needed where we needed to broadcasts. But I'm
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: glad we did the Cool Room by ESPN and it
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: was way better because Carl Raviitsch was there getting flowered.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: That's right. The only thing missing from that show from
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: ESPN's you know, bloated corporate human centipede of promotion was Macif.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I thought he was going to sing the seventh sing
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: take Me out to the Ball exactly.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Especially from that region, like kind of a West Virginia's.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh guy, that would have been that way more sense.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's so true. I didn't think about that.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: That's the one thing I was surprised because I think
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: moving forward, anytime they have anything like this where there's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a eyeballs on ESPN and you're gonna see Mackett Well
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and the.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: New one from Front Office Sports this past weekend, Marshans
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: was a part of that big sixty million dollars deal.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Is apparently every night that the Manning cast is not
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: going on, they're gonna.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Do the on field cast.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Now that's also going to be a hell of a
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: difference with the NFL because they haven't never let anybody
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: on the sideline.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: They doesn't have to be there.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: You and I get you, and I see it as
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: much that if you do not have the exact specific
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: they are as minimalistic on the sidelines as possible. Instead
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: of six guys that are standing right underneath the goalposts
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and maybe catching field goals, that'll be a different different
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: blend for the NFL.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: That's pretty wild. That's like a full on Remember when
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Syrah Goosa used to do it from the field.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and and Tony was just the best at it,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: right because Moose and Goose and all of a sudden,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: let's go down to Goose on the sideline and.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Get done here boy, fifteen degrees.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: He's got like maybe the lightest raincoat on you possibly could.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: It's a little wet, but it's gonna be okay. I
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: love that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: It wasn't like a regular sideline. Wasn't even a camera
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: like they would just turn his mic on sometimes. I
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: guess getting just starting to freeze a little bit down here,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: the wind swirling. All right, thanks, go let's go back upstairs.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Like the first edition of a GoPro camera that they
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: put on him before before that was over.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Well, you always have to push, you know, new limits
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: when it comes to broadcasting, and maybe this is the
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: next But that's an interesting observation.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't think about that, but I did.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Love I I really did appreciate and enjoy Like even
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Chris Saale Crow barring out the time right at the
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: end to be like, hey, I know we're trying to
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: go to a break, Carl, Oh, yeah, you're the Mitchell.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: For them to be able to do that and Carl
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Ravich have his moment and for him to be lighthearted
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: and have a joke about it with the commissioner like, hey,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: can you pull some strings and get me.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Back here next year?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: It's pretty while he's got to have some fun with it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: It's one of the most awkward situations in broadcast. I
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: thought he handled it perfectly.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: It was He's a class act.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Gotta say, right as his partner got twice what player
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: they were talking about?
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, whoops?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Well, how does Trevor how does Tyler Maley with Murphy
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: back behind the dish, how does that you know, calm
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: him down?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Pat Murphy started at Arizona State and went all the
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: way through Notre Dame. And it's been really really long
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: time baseball man. That's how it works, all right, it's
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: two and one. I think Carl was just picking it
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: up for Perez last night all night long.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: It was impressive stuff. That's what he does. It just
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: goes off. It just yes, all right. So one of
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the things I want to ask you is a media thing.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: There's no I. Media starts with me. We do a
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: lot of the navel gazing. That sale mismatchup was a
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: marquee game, but it was a three o'clock start on
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a Friday in the good Land. And then like Kurt
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Hogue tweeted the thing like miss asking like is this
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is smart media contingent? And Kurt said, and this is
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the default of any you know, Brewers beat guy, because
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that's what I would say too. Oh, the Packers are
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: playing tonight. Mm hm. Packers are playing in Denver and okay,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Carly Mrauda is there because they had the WTMJ the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: flag ship in Milwaugae for Packers preseason. She had to
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: be down there. But it wasn't so much the Packers
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: as it was high school football. Yeah, high school for
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: hig school football on Friday, and it's the first weekend.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Everybody's got their operation football and they're sending camera crews
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: out to all the games and stuff. And the game
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: first game ended at around six when they're on the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: sideline doing the live shots and they're getting ready for that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I think high school football dipped into the coverage more
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: than the Packers. Yeah, high school football.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: And the start time right like if checked, No, it's
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: six o'clock news. Get right up into the news. Yeah, exactly,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have to be there so like and and
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: let's be honest, that's what they're talking about. Like because
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Hunter was there and Gasping Hog and MC all the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: normal writers and radio wasn't. There wasn't a lot of
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: TV cameras just didn't have the cameras because they were working.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Yea one hundred percent. I don't believe it was as
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: much of a Packers thing. It wasn't a Packers thing
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: per se. It was more, I think, more high school
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: football and the timing. And we also found that out
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: because it didn't sound like there were a ton of
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Packers writers.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Out at at the Bestive He's in Denver.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: When Matt Lafour mentions it and goes, all right, who's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: ready for a short press conference. I think he looked
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: up and saw Mike Spofford and said, all right, let's
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: have some fun.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I think like spoff and spoon and that's about it.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I think it was those two.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, I mean, this is a bigger issue, right,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: but like, yeah, Jordan Love and Lafleur is their postgame
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: pressers at Lambeau on a Sunday in October can be
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: fifteen seventeen minutes at least.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And following the trend uh in Denver, it was three
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: minutes each.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was just the facts, man, the quickest,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the quickest in and out, am bam wam bam.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: That it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: That'll do it all right? Sweet?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: And also, by the way, I'm not talking tomorrow because
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: we got that one lately. Yeah, So, like I do,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I understand, like you said, it's the default setting. If
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: this was the early two thousands, maybe it's a different story.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: But it's the first week of high school football. And
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: it's also like the big games around the state on
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Week one, big we you end up getting a lot
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: better of the matchups like ahead Marquette, you saw the
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: incredible game with Kingston Allen against Nina Notre Dame and Nina,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: so like there was a lot of that. I also,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I do like that they are still manufacturing Drew. They've
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: now they're trying to win the division for the fourth
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: time and the fourth straight year. You do got to
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: manufacture a little bit of little brother syndrome too. Yeah, right, sure, Okay,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: we get it. The Packers are still number one. No
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: one really cares about us. That's fine, Like, let's get
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: a little bit more of that because the Murphy underdogism
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: is probably out the door now.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Kind of you can't I don't know that you can
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: really use that one games and you're you're playing on
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the Sunday night stage there to find to be a
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: little bit of a pen well, and that's we had
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: someone say, what did Sale get all the flowers for
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: being nice to Carl Ravage when Mitchell did the same
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: thing like armand said, you're looking to be aggrieved to that.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I could hear Mitchell's all I heard.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: All I heard was the wind. I didn't hear much
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: at all about what he was talking.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: It was great that he was He's really good media wized,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: but he also is like, I'm playing a game here,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and he was showing up for every pitch and he's
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: like looking down at his card for positioning and stuff.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Hang out a second, all right, looking where you play?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: He was he was not put it this way. He
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: was taking part in it, but wasn't distracted from the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: main task that he had, which was being ready for
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: every I mentioned.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: It's a little uncomfortable watching when you see the end
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: game interview in a game for a player that matters, like,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: but was it that had the Brewers had it? It
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: was an opening day I think for a first basement.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I'm blanking who it was now, but the Brewers had
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: a first basement that had to take the interview. I'm like,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: it's hard to play first and talk like and do
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: an interview because you're involved in every play. It's a
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: little uncomfortable because you're like, I don't want this guy
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: to get distracted. And in All Star game it's one thing. Now,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: yesterday it was a different type of game. But for
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: some reason, yesterday it seemed a little bit better.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I thought Garrett handled it really great.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: But you're right, believe the Mike was crying to struggle
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: into with the wind that stuff.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Is it really windy out there. We're getting a lot
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: of wind, and Garrett so sweetly, just like you said,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: the nicest, best media trained guy in the world, puts
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: his hand up to his ear, like, hold on, can
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: I make it any better?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: His mike was on the shirt, so it really didn't
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: help it all.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: But just like, hold on, let me see, let me see.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: I'll do whatever I can for the program. But by
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the way, the pitch is coming so totally.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: I mean Garrett, I mean, I remember he hits the
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: walk off two years ago in the playoffs and he's
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: fixing Sophia's XLR cable or something like that when the
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: mic wasn't working.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: He's trying to plug it in. Right, I'm like, what
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: a guy. I just love that guy, you know, yeah, yeah,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: no doubt what other impressions you have, Billy, Like just
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: watching it and seeing like one of the things I
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: came around to is the miss as they show this
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: social stuff. He's the pied piper, is an absolute star,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and we see him and we appreciate him, but like
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: it's it's like almost like, oh, you mean, the nation's
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: taking a notice too. When he country is watching too.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I think it was either Todd or Adam wrote that
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: they talked to an MLB official that had been there
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: for a couple of different times, like the only guy
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: that got this kind of pop from the little leaguers
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Aaron Judge, and you start to think about it, that's
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: not we haven't won multipot vpes, haven't been in the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: league for a decade, but that stardom right now is
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: as hot and shining as bright. And there's just a
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: relatability with miz that I think is a little different
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: than other stars, where he likes some of the stuff
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the kids, like he's ripping Pokemon pass.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: The honest like I'm getting to say, I got the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: same vibes last year. It's like he's coming on. Watching
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: him is like watching Giannis when he was young, and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: we're watching him emerge as this national star.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: And sale I thought hit it well where he's like, yeah,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the dude's obviously unreal, like that fastball is amazing, but
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: he's like, if anybody's gonna have that talent and have
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: this type of I don't know exactly how he phrased it,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: but he's like he's the right one to carry the mantle.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Of the g shucks, you know.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Of the guy that everybody's gonna love, the forest Gump,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: the one that all the kids really want to be.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: They picked the right guy to give the talent because well,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and Chris Sale, like look at his career and like
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: his popped on it, and look at his resume never
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: really resonated like nationally. Like it was a nice pitcher,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: and you like him in your market when he's pitching
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: for you, but he didn't have the profile. That was
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the most I had heard from Chris Sale.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: The only other thing I knew about him was cutting
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: up the jersey and yeah, because he didn't like to sleep.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say that's I mean, that's what I
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: remember about him, is like, so he's more of a
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: probably crusty guy based on that reputation.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Of just or.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: He said, I'm the best player on this team in
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: our team's ass. So how about you we do what
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I want to do. That's make it better. Let's make
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: it better here in Chicago.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Literally, you've got to be a special kind of guy
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: to also have the nuts to cut up jerseys pregame.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I get your point, Billy, but not everyone's that. Yeah,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: a lot of guys are a little more like I am,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I gonna do that. But but you're right, so I
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: think what he's saying is correct. It's like, it's one
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: thing to have the talent, but a guy like mis
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: was gregarious, and he's got the attitude of the kids
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: and stuff, and he's got that kind of youthful whimsy
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: about him right now as well, well, miss have it
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: in ten years. Who knows how things will change, I mean,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: but right now he's got it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Oh though he'll get a little jaded, well, well he'll
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: get he'll get a little jaded at something point. But
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: make no mistake, last night was cool to see the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: guys having fun, like Acuna and Contreras is back and
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: forth of when o'cuna stole second and then Contrera's back
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: picks him over third, the staredowns, the celebrations. That was
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: cool to see because you you got to see it
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: begin during the year with the Venezuelan team and then
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: here crescendo before we get to the playoffs.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: And it matters too much to message. By the way,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: what if Wild Billet connected and that ball had gone out, Yeah,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: that would have been amazing. That would have been storybook.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: It's off the bad.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I thought there was no way it was being held
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: into that park with no second deck. I thought those
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I thought the ball was gonna fly out.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: That cast did say it would have been a home
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: run in seven big league parks, not American Family Field.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: It's just one of those things.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Though you run all these things, it reminds you that,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: like of all the things surrounding baseball, troubles bait business,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: the way pro sports has changed, it's still great to
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: see these guys having fun and you see it organically.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: And they were doing it. They were enjoying the moment,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and not every team would have embraced that. I believe
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: baseball leans into it because what are what are you
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: going to do in the NBA, like celebrate the AAU
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: stuff in the summer, like it doesn't have they don't
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: have that offer game at Rucker Park would be pretty sweet.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: The NFL, it would be.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: That would be like the only thing that you would do,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: but I don't know how you'd actually do.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: It's Hockey's equivalent a bit at the Outdoor Classic. I
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: would say a little bit. Yeah, that's like where you
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: get yeah, and that's the funny thing too, is like
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: we talk about it, uh, you know hockey, oh the
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: kids and playing on the pond or playing in you know,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: flood in the backyard and stuff. Anybody really do that anymore?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Because at the highest levels of these kids, a lot
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of them can can go from you know, mites to
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: juniors and like and never play outside on the pond.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Like they never have to.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: They're getting driven to practices and teams, charter family status.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: A little convo I remember when the Admirals did their
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: game in Minnesota and it was super cold that day,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: and it's a great memory and ye Aaronson, but there
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: was a little convo during that time. It's like, how
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: many of these kids are are just like you know,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: pond rats anymore that that grow up doing this? And
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: it's like, if you're special, you get picked up early
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: and you are traveling and the whole travel ball part
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: of this is the underlying.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Probably more likely are some of the admiral players having
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: to flood the backyard for their five year olds. I
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: like the ones of like, all right, the little kid
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: wants to go play on the slab, and that's probably
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Adamirals did that as a promo a couple of years ago.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Remember they sent players to like backyard rinks and they're
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: skating around like backyard rinks. There aren't that many of them.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying no and and Drew.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: It's also like they they couldn't play an NFL game
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: at the sight of Friday night lights right like that.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: There's not there's not another way that you could do it.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: No baseball you can. And they've done a really really
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: good job of the Field of Dreams one in this one.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And I also, I mean Rob Manford takes a lot
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: of arrows, some very well deserved, the other ones that
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: he doesn't deserve. Though, is they've done a really good
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: job of selling the game and selling this part of
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: And for the record, it's not just because of my
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: hatred of Field of Dreams, but the Little League World Series,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: the Hoopla is cooler to me than the Field of Dreams.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Thing, well because because the real kids are involvement of
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: the kids, Yeah, they were not talking about the involvement.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: And I also there's there's a part of me and
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: when I had asked about it, there looks like on
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: one of those pictures, Jackson Curio's team might have gotten
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: pretty far. I don't know, if you guys look through
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the rollers of youth pictures that they had Ja Jackson
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Curio had the Latin America one.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: They were they were swagged out.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: They had gotten pretty good, shockingly, so he was on
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: a good travel team. But to be able to also
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: have the guys put themselves back in that same spot
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: and then realized, like Jackson Curios could have been playing
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: in this a decade ago.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: That's the thing.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Man ten years what ten years? He's only ten years
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: older than these kids. It was a kid that's throwing
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: seventy mile an hour gas from forty five feet away.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: And the birds were running all that stuff. And then
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: they were asking guys and it's like, you know, Chris
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and Yeliza, the older guys, like hey, you remember your
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: first home run, like over the fence, And then he's like, nah,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: not really, I don't remember.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Karen Mitchell, it was eight years old. It was a
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: windy day, yeah.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And meanwhile I was just like, I don't know, I
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: think it was I don't remember.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Also, in the pictures, the best part is my wife
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: called it out, like you look at Yelich's picture.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: It's clearly a picture, sure of a photograph. Oh yeah,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: all the.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Other ones are. All the other ones are Oh, dal Hall,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: it's picture day. Mom, bring your iPhone. All right, boom,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: there we go, We're all.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: I did love Angelvanna the same exact swing that he
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: did when he was like eight years old. Yeah, that
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: was pretty cool, and I thought like we had we
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: got Sal back with the big club, just in time
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: for the social media team, because Sal was the one really.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Enjoying that like whole thing with the different pictures. He's
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: gonna be back this week. Yeah back, I's gonna add
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: a little juice. We also got some news about Brandon Wood,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: if we'll talk about that as we move forward. That
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: was like whoa, okay, but still gonna be like hitting
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: an inside straight there. I rubbed my eyes. I'm like,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: wait a second, a minute, not getting it. I jumped
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: up out of my seat. That's getting surgery and could
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: be gonna start throwing and could be ready by prepare
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: yourself to be disappointed. Anybody who's thinking like Brandon is
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: gonna like just turn them things real blue, real quick.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Let's pump the let's pump the Brakes.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Hey, I remember, I remember when Reggie Whites and he
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: got healed in ninety five. All right, yeah, I keep
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: dreaming that was Remember that miracle, that big thing.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: God wanted to play. This is how I'm thinking. Okay, exactly,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: all right, when we come back, we've reached halftime of

• 20:23
  Speaker 2: still have more preseason game.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Away, and we still have a it feels like a
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: month until the opener. Actually it's okay. Yesterday I thought, okay,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and three Sundays we'll have football, right, that's.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: It, Yes, three Sundays, Scott Hanson will be taking over

  Speaker 1: Sports Radio Wisconsin nine to twenty, Milwaukee ten seventy, Madison
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: worldwide in the I heard up streaming live, Facebook X

  Speaker 1: and YouTube and streamers now get to see our halftime
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: correspond at Scott Dolphin from the country station down the
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Hall FM one oh six.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Hello Dolph, Happy Monday, if there is such a thing. Yeah,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: I did notice more action on the freeway this morning.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's that people are getting back
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: to s now or what, but there is that. There
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: were a lot of schools.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of first day of school photos
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: in my feed. Yeah.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Now, I know a lot of the public systems in
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Wisconsin don't go back till September one, yep, but a
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: lot of school districts are back this.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I have had schools, and yeah, a lot of districts back.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: High school football's.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Fired up now there's there's going to be like three
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: or four games and before kids get into school that
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: after Labor Day. Crowd has had to take a step
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: back because it's the latest Labor Day we possibly could have.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: It is it is crazy.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: They started high school football this past weekend, right on
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: the with the twenty something of August.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: That would be generally around the start time we'd always
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: start have like our first game probably last week of August.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: It's a nine game high school schedule. There's ten. That's
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: a good question. I think it makes sense because we
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: get two in before September, right, and you want to
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: be you know that means your championship games are going
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: to be played. What the week before Thanksgiving? Is that
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: what it normally is before their season starts the night
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: before deer season.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: The night before the season's right, Like your season starts
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Saturday at dawn. Our last game will be Friday night
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: as the lights going.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: On Friday will be done.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Like if you made varsity though football and you had
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: to play two games before school started, don't you get
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: robbed of two days of walking around school with your
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: jersey on and feel cool?
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, you do that different game day, right.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Wasn't that the biggest moment, right, Billy, when you finally
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: got that varsity jersey?
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: The walk around school or do that? Or did you
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: guys have to dress up? The most important exciting thing
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: was actually playing games that.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're talking to a guy that if I
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: made a team, I'm not playing, so I'm not used
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: to playing, so my thoughts. I'm part of the team,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: and people now I can prove it. Yeah, and you
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: know it was not just a rumor that I might
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: be an part.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Of the team.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Army's talking about those pep rallies you had on game
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: days in the gym.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe do they still do that? Maybe he won?
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe for homecoming, Yeah, maybe for homecoming they'll they'll
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: rip one of those out.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: But I mean the kids also aren't wearing their their
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: letterman sweaters all throughout the week like Armen.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: It of in the same vein of all the little
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: sweater to bed. I'm wearing that. Okay.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like it's a big deal, like you
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: finally you grow up, You're like, I want to play
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: for my high school team, and you make.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Someone was selling on Facebook Marketplace. They were selling like
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: a vintage Marquette High letterman's jacket that had on it
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: and it said the letter though had said manager on
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the letter. And I'm like, that's Armine's perfect high school
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: for not putting that on my letter. Okay, killed it,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: all right, killed it. They did have the academic though,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the academic academics a badge of honor, though that's a
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: good thing. That was something. Remember all the wrestling guys
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: always had their medals all over to ye, I.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Was gonna say it was that in like field, not
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: not even necessarily track, but if you were if you
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: were throwing, you were doing three different events, you had
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: that thing layered up.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: I had medals on on my letterman's jacket. We got
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: them for uh like winning district championships or going to
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: the state tournament and whatever sport.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: You just little medals.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you sold them on your major letter sure,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: and then on the back we had our patches for
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: our conference championship.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I still have my jacket. Not everyone won championships that much.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Well, everybody was as good as Dolf was high school.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Sorry, we're pretty damn good.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: All my state championships were on my front. Wrestlers had pins.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: I remember that. The wrestlers had it for every time
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: they got a pin.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah right, So, Dolf, One of the
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: things I love to do is I just, you know,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: consider my opinions and call myself out of my own hypocrisy.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: ESPN's coverage of the Little League World Series have been
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: very critical of it because it's cheap programming and they
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: exploit the kids on the road to Williamsport when you
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: get to Williamsport. And last night was really cool the
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: way they melded the Little League World Series. They paid
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: it off and had the Brewers in it. Now, granted,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't have watched a lot if it had
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: been you know, National's Royals. Yeah, but I was watching.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I was dialed in because it was Brewers Braves and
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: we had Brewis braids here leading into it. And then
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: my hypocrisy comes from the fact that I think they
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: exploit those kids and I don't like that they show
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: every you know, step of the way. But that aside.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Another thing that I'm a hypocrite about is I've always
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: said that the dumbest thing in youth sports is the
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: fake paddy Cake handshake. But I liked it when the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: big league guys did it last night. It works out
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: game game. It's such a trite, stupid thing for the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: you sports. But I thought it was the ceremony with
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: those guys, Yes, no doubt about it, it did. I
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: enjoyed it.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: I like the you know, the the All Star esque
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: talking to Garrett Mitchell while he's playing center field, even
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: though he was locked in, he goes, oh, hang on
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: a second, hang on in between plays. I love the
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: the flashbacks to the Brewers, you know, youth pictures.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Who did you see who was it that was wearing a.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: Timber Rattlers jersey that David Hamilton, David Hamlison grew up
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: in Texas.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: He's wearing a Timber Rattlers jersey. I hadn't I had
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: to do like eight double takes.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: I'm like, wait a second, is this a Halloween costume
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: that my man got or is that just how good
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: and how big they do it in the state of time.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: They just find all the funniest minor league team. Maybe
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: those are the clubs you get.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: You know, and then talking to the dudes about their
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: little you know, their memories that they had and how
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: far they got and they're still hanging on to that stuff. Man,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: Kyle Harrison, I was eight years old, you know, and
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: uh you know we did we got beat in the
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: whatever the region it.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, still bugs him to this day. And then
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: the Indo bullpen. He's still thinking, I'm carrying up that
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: kid shining more tag me for a two run double
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: and nine, you right.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: He remembers those stories. It's amazing how that works.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I also did appreciate the home runs. It's like I
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: was eight years old. I was nine years old South
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Like I think I was a junior in high school.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It was a little guy. He was a little guy. Yeah.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Although in Little League you count everything as a home run, right,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: even if it goes through the shortstops leg and gets
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: past the thinner fielder, You're gonna count that hard shure.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. That's why you have to specify
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: the over the fence home run.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Garrett.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: We know how speedy where you're probably in t ball
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: getting getting four baggers. Let's figure out how we, you know, delineate.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: That when we start to literally gone about you guys,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: not every place head fences. I mean we played a
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: lot of places offenses. It was eventually Conkle Park open, yeah, offences,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: but no one was touching that.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: We didn't have fences either, Army when I played little
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It's like, you're not gonna get
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: over the fence home run.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: That would be the scary part though, when you were
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: playing softball, especially when you were the fat and they
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: put you out in the outfield because they're like, well
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: kids knocking to be agile enough to be able to
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: get son of a gun with no fence, and you're
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: walking out to the Eppier League Softball field like it's
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: gonna be a long day and a lot of areo
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: because I know exactly where they're picking this spot. I
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: know exactly who they're targeting and trying to line up
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: in that that's funny.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: So you saw them like shifting to hit to where
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: you were in right field, Billy, they.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Would be it would almost be like a running start.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Let's see how let's see how much I can turn
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: my body in this batter's box to see if I
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: can dart one right at this fat.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: And then you surprised them to show them how swift
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: a foot you were.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then drop one fly ball and then it
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: was just game on. I mean I did end up
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: getting out of the inning, but it was it was
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: a dicey night for for your point, especially when I
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: realized beer league softball meant you drink.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: After that, it was like.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: During that's my first no, that was my first game.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I thought you, me and my buddy were just pre
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: gaming in the parking lot. Came out you know we
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: do this after the game. Okay, sure, Julie noted immediately
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: we did that. People would drink pregame.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Duly noted that media League was a farce. It was
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: everybody brought rings, everybody brought this this cigar man. We
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: had a team.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: We weren't iHeart then, but we had a team, and
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: I sure of got we had like four people that
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: worked here on that team.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: I know it was talking about and then the quote
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: unquote the Bucks media and then all these other teams
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: that had.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Like drapping, you know, interns, air quotes, interns. We were
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: there to get together and have fun, you know. Yeah,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: all right, So Doff, I know you were at the
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Brewers game on Friday. What was that atmosphere?
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: The game was incredible. It was electric, Uh tailgating got
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: a little dicey with those nasty thunderstorms rolling through. We
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: fortunately stayed in the lot and we're under a tree
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: for a while until it started lightning. Then we just
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: got in the car. It was car wash, rain and
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: thunder and lightning. And I felt so bad because there
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: was a section of probably a thousand or so people
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: going across that footbridge towards center field and it just
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: car It just opened up. It was a deluge of water.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Those people got soaked. But once we're inside, it was
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: it was great an atmosphere. I thought we're I thought
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: it might be slipping away there. Uh late got a
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: little dicey, yeah, but they got it done. Yeah, it
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: was fun. It was a fun thing to be a
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: part of seeing that pitching matchup.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Especially. Did you laugh at all though?
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: As you watched the folks walking across the bridge just
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: getting thoust was the little part of you that was like,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: all right, I know I could get bad for them,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: but I am going to have to chuckle here I did.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, how could you not enjoy a little
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: bit physical swimming, physical comedy.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: You go.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: Something to be said about being kicked into every game
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: by the fine police officers and orange shirts on bicycles
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: out in the parking lot.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: That was a hell of an adjustment for me when
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden it was in the third ending
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: that hey, you guys got to go where you gotta
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: get out?
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Wait? What do you mean? Yeah? I know, a beautiful day.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: What do you talk looking about?
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Or the ones after the game, Because for a long
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: time that was here, that was when the tailgating happened
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: for my family when my dad would be working right
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: up until game time. Basically, so we yeah, we'll pack
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: the Bronzewell sitting out after and let the traffic clear out.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Let's get out of here, folks.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: And they're they're they're pretty lenient until traffic is flowing
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: really well, and then they'll they'll start coming down, you know,
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: and then you almost hear that.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Then then and then and then then the three bikes
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: start rolling kicking you out. Yeah, all right, sof I
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: have to ask, because we were ensconsin packers of Broncos
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: and Wayne Larvy joins us in about an hour to
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: talk about the that and what lies ahead here at
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the end of camp. How are your Bears doing? Because
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I heard that they couldn't stop Josh Johnson.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: That's true forty forty His first game was in like
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: two thousand and seven, uh, and he was he was
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: the man against the Bears the other night.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't see a minute of that game.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: I guess the first team offense, Caleb rolled them down
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: the field and then uh they had a p I
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: that put them out of a touchdown race. So they
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: got a field goal, and I think that was it
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: for them. The defense struggled though against Cincinnati against their
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: first team, but that's what you look at, right, starters
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: and starters.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: And it's I mean, it's the oldest quarterback room in
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: the league in Cincinnati with Joe Flacco and Josh Johnson,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I'm battling it out.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Was not a spring chicken anymore either.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Closing in on thirty and I mean Sean Clifford, you
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: still think of a young player. He's been in the
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: league for a while now, he's twenty eight. He was
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: one of the older college guys. Yeah, in football, so
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: it is a it is a thick one in terms
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: of age for those guys. But that's rare.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Play your starters when you had the joint practice before.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: But he Ben Johnson said they didn't get enough run,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: they didn't get enough of a sweat, so they had
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: to play well.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: He has the cash checks because he said they're going
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: to be the highest scoring offense since the thirteen Broncos.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: They want shutouts in thirty seven was he supposed to
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: do now? He has to make sure his team's are
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: on all cylinders right golf. I mean, that's what he said.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: That's your guys. So yeah, I can't wiggle. He fails,
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: they're going to be a good off fence arm and
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: they're gonna be good. They're gonna be fine.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: The defense is what worries me right now because they
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: lost so much personnel and then of course you have injuries.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: But well, maybe he'll sleep in the office this week
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: until everybody Maybe I would.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Assume that was it for Caleb.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: He didn't play at all in the first game, and
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: I would assume that series was probably it for him.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: That's probably Josh Johnson credit, though he's one of the
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: rare guys. If you looking at a spot track page,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: he made less money in his career than years he played.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: That's not easy in the NFL to do.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: He played seventeen years and his career earnings are thirteen
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: point four.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: But think about that.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I don't think he's ever had a multi
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: year contract. He's never He's made the minimum every year,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: every year. And that's what jeeves. He got a spin
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: on the guy's grave.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I respect it. It's a true grinder. But that's amazing. Well,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: you get excited, he's a little bit. We get excited
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: about stories about guys like that. Though.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: I remember the year we went down to Arrowhead to
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: see the Packers play Kansas City shortly before COVID and
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: who was there. Mahomes was hurt that night, so they
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: fucked out Bet Moore, a high school gym coach who
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: they had signed earlier in the week.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: And you get excited about story like that. Theers three
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: or four years ago. He almost beat him that night.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: That was like a four game. What says NFL preseason
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: more than paying full price to see case Keenumagans. I know.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: When you see Miller Moss taking reps when you that's
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: when you know you're stumbled into the UFL game.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: It's like a season ticket holders freaking. It's a crime
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: to them that they have to pay for these tickets.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Well, in the two and a half minute diatribe that
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: uh Rogers went into, when Mike Clemons asked him about
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: how would you fix preseason, the first thing he said,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: how about you lower the prices?
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: What do we do this?
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: I have a friend who donates his he's a Bear season,
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: he donates him to Bears charities.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: He just gets rid of this. That's cool, doesn't go
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: to any preseason game. Good for him.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: That is the That is the right way of going
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: about it though, too, because then you know that the
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: ghost families are going to be finding them. And for
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: the thing is, for the pageantry of it, it is
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: still football right Like it's it's like if you're going
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: to the Eastern Michigan game against Wisconsin, it's still going
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: to be college football.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: You're going to get everything in there. I don't think different.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: But you get the go to a game. If you
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: try to sell them though, you can't even get face value,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: So then what's the point You're You're at a loss anyway.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: So what you just said, Billy is it's so true
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: for for people that have never been to Lambeofield, they've
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: been Packer fans their whole life. You still get the
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: pageantry of going to a Packer game, maybe under the
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: lights and you know, and seeing the team come out
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: with the shiny helmets on, and that's.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Like under the lights. They still introduced starters. They do,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: they do all the fire and everything that you possibly
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: could have. Our friend Dasius Smith Jenkins is always going
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: to be a midch season form. So it's still a
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: good time.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: When I was a kid, they in college basketball, they
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: don't do this anymore. But they had those traveling teams
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: that were like kind of barnstorming teams that were like prosh.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Marathon oil right.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Or when I was in Marquette, the first time I
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: was ever the student section was against Team EA Sports
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: and it was exciting. It was still we did all
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: the chance and we did all the introduction stuff. To
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: your point, Billy, it was still the same.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: So you're probably not old enough to remember, but Drew
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: as I know, when your favorite college team would play
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: like the Soviet national team.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: The Bucks played them and likeies, didn't they probably get
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: some event.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Mecca.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: I remember when I I uh, it was almost still
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: like you know, uh it was. It was a tragedy
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: for me in my youth when the Globe Trotters were
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: like one hundred and ninety eight No, and then they
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: went to Michigan State and got absolutely curb stopped by MS.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: They started trying to play games for real. That was
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: a bad idea, bad idea.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: That would be like the Savannah banana is going in
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: and taking on the taking on Brewers.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Not a good luck, not a good look. Dolph, thank
• 35:30

  Speaker 1: time for a little Who's Hot Who's not? Brought to
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: us by Donovan Jorgensen. You're Heating and Cooling Experts employee
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: owned for forty years, Donovan Jorgenson. Billy, who you got
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: for who's hot Who's not?
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: One in the not category will be Deshaun Watson as
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: he sued it up and.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Played for the Cleveland Browns this weekend.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: In a thirty one to seven victory for the Buffalo
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Bills in Cleveland, Shaduur Sanders to a touchdown and his
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: final chance to make the club and maybe win the
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: starting job, But Deshaun Watson didn't fare as good as
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: the nine for eleven seventy four yards.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: And a touchdown and an interception for Shirdur Sanders.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Instead, it was a quarterback rating of fourteen Deshaun Watson
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: five of twelve for thirty six yards and a pick,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: an average of three yards per pass. But that was
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: not where he drew the most criticism. That was in
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: the postgame press conference when he spoke of the booze
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: that came his way during the game. He said, quote,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: it's a disrespectful thing from fans and both of the
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: same fan base that bowed me in the last time
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I was on that field, I tore my achilles. It's
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: nothing about performance at all. It's a personal thing. Well, DeShawn,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: I got to say, at least your self awareness appears
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: to be better than the play on the field. Understanding
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: that it's not only the performance at they're upset. No, no,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: it's a you thing. This is where he had to
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: give them pause.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: He can't get out of his own way, man, like
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: they were gonna give him the starting job. He's going
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: to start. It's been coming out of the shoot. He's
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: been getting the first reps he's been getting starting these
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: preseason games. And then he does that and it's like, oh,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: all right, where so they're they're at a crossroads now.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: It's like they want to start him over shadure. But
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: he said that and like he's gonna get booed anytime
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: there's a bad play, he's gonna get booed at home.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: You want to sign up for that? True?
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Like you you had all you had to do was
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: make it to the regular season and give yourself a chance, because,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: like you said, the money's spent, Like why with the
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: sun cost Cleveland wants to play him because you might
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: as well, Like there's no there's no reason.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: To guarantee a shot.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and now I don't know how you do after that,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Like that is that's one of the dumbest things you
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: possibly could say. However, for a human being that's lived
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: on a lot of dumb things, Deshaun Watson will be
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: right there in the middle of it. Also, we have
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: a historic twist. I don't know where this goes in
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: hot or not category. We're going to have the first
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: NFL player former NFL player playing college football this year.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: It will be a hot day for LSU as d
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Kwon Wright was waived by the Browns yesterday and has
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: an agreement per agent Drew Rosenhaus and Kyle Lincoln, as
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: they told Adam Schefter on Sunday that once he clears waivers,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: he will play in twenty twenty six for Louisiana State University.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Believe to be the first player to ever have a
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: signed agreement to play in the NFL then to return
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: to college. He signed with the Eagles after the draft
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: was claimed on waivers by the Browns on August eleventh. Now,
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: I don't fault him at all. He's going to go
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: make some money. Dakwan Wright's probably hot in this case
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: because he was going to be cut in a week
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: now in the NFL and be looking for a job. Instead,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: He's probably going to make close to seven figures to
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: go play college football and gets playing the SEC and
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: then maybe improve his draft stock.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: I give him a lot of credit though. On I
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: think it's a that he's going back to pursue education
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: like this.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: I mean the fact you want to get your degree.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: He wants to go back to for.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: The pursuit of education, and it's not always about, you know,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: the money and all. It's pretty cool to see that
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: he wants to go back to school. Obviously because he
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: wants to go back to class.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Drew Rosenhaus was on McAfee last week and said, I
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: did not tell the Kwan to do It's actually I
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: had urged him to maybe do the opposite.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: But I work for the Kwan, So if he wants
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: to do it, that's where I go.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Interesting that it turns the other way for the agent
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: when you know there's gonna be more money.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Of all, Hey, I work for him. It's not my
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: not my decision.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not the one that told him to go do it,
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: but I will take my three percent.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Should we just go ahead and name Carl Ravich as
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: our superhero to day for we can call Current dot
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Com perfect? Yes, Carl class act. It was on his
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: way out.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: That was as good as it possibly could have been
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: for him on his way out. And to take the
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: little joke and the stab at your old bosses. When
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Manfred was on there, he plenty strings get me back.
• 39:57
