08/05/25 - Hour 3 · The Huddle

0:00
Speaker 1: We're having some fun with some hot takes. Time for
0:02
Speaker 1: a little current electric superhero the day though, Billy, you've
0:04
Speaker 1: got a good one.
0:05
Speaker 2: Holdsted up for us, got a good one.
0:07
Speaker 3: And whenever you can tip the cap to the mothers
0:09
Speaker 3: out there, I always wanted to do so. And yesterday
0:13
Speaker 3: was a hell of a day for one Judy Lombard.
0:15
Speaker 3: Now you might be wondering who that is, all right, Judy.
0:17
Speaker 3: Judy had herself a hag of a day as she
0:19
Speaker 3: was sitting there at Yankee Stadium watching her son, George Junior,
0:23
Speaker 3: alongside former outfielder George Lombard, watching George Lombard Junior, the
0:28
Speaker 3: highly ranked hop prospect in the Yankees organization, make his
0:31
Speaker 3: major league debut. While they were waiting for George to
0:34
Speaker 3: come up to the plate, Judy was doing what a
0:36
Speaker 3: lot of travel ball moms have done, watching one game
0:39
Speaker 3: on the phone while you're at the game at the
0:41
Speaker 3: other one. As she's watching Jacob about an hour into
0:45
Speaker 3: the Yankees game last night, crush his first home run
0:51
Speaker 3: in his professional debut about one thousand miles south of
0:55
Speaker 3: Yankee Stadium in a single a game in Jupiter, Florida,
0:58
Speaker 3: Jacob Lombard hit a hanging breaking ball in his second
1:02
Speaker 3: plate appearance.
1:03
Speaker 2: Out the same night that in his second plate.
1:07
Speaker 3: Appearance in his major league debut, George Lombard Junior went yard.
1:11
Speaker 3: So within about an hour of each other, they both
1:14
Speaker 3: were making debuts yesterday, both going yard, and only the
1:18
Speaker 3: person that could smile bigger than Dad was Mom. Because
1:22
Speaker 3: as much as George Lombards Senior, I think had a
1:24
Speaker 3: lot to do when the travel ball scene of these
1:26
Speaker 3: two young guys having last night happened, it ain't happen
1:29
Speaker 3: without Mama. Joe, Congratulations, Judy Lombard. Phenomenal day, our current
1:34
Speaker 3: electric superhero of the day, Baseball Moms. She just hit
1:37
Speaker 3: a pinnacle of it and she is the hero here today.
1:40
Speaker 3: As George Junior hits his first big league hit, Drew
1:44
Speaker 3: goes into the left field bleachers.
1:46
Speaker 1: And so Jacob makes his pro debut. George makes his
1:49
Speaker 1: MLB debut. The parents were on the way to go
1:52
Speaker 1: watch Jacob and he said, no, this is a time
1:55
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues.
1:56
Speaker 2: Man watching league game.
1:58
Speaker 1: So they go to that game and then Jacob's playing
2:02
Speaker 1: and there's a pitching change and he looks on a
2:05
Speaker 1: TV screen like near the dugout and sees like what
2:09
Speaker 1: he sees his brother at the plate, and then he
2:10
Speaker 1: sees his parent hugging, Oh my god, he must have
2:12
Speaker 1: done something. You must have gone yard. So he like
2:13
Speaker 1: saw it happen, saw it. And then George Homard and
2:17
Speaker 1: now the parallels here. They both hit homers and their
2:21
Speaker 1: second plate, second appearance both off of breaking balls. George's
2:25
Speaker 1: was thirty three degrees of launch angle one hundred point
2:28
Speaker 1: two miles an hour. Jacob's was thirty three degrees ninety
2:31
Speaker 1: nine point nine miles. A yea, So they were right
2:35
Speaker 1: there against each other. Uh, they were both playing Cardinals affiliates.
2:38
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
2:39
Speaker 1: One was playing the major league Cardinals, the other was
2:42
Speaker 1: playing this the football Cardinals, Beach Cardinals. And that's their
2:46
Speaker 1: respective debuts for major league baseball and minor league baseball.
2:50
Speaker 3: That's just trippy that you can't get a better day
2:52
Speaker 3: than that. That that is as weird and as much
2:56
Speaker 3: baseball is going to baseball as you possibly can have.
2:59
Speaker 3: And uh, I guess you could see George ripping the
3:02
Speaker 3: sleeves on that shirt. I don't know, you see you
3:04
Speaker 3: see that hug of George Senior. He was just my man,
3:07
Speaker 3: is missing no Buyson tries, he's missing no harm days.
3:12
Speaker 3: But he was celebrating that moment, and I think Mom
3:15
Speaker 3: may have even been happier. Yes, yes, that's crazy. He's
3:17
Speaker 3: hockey le esque. Yes percent. He might have ripped out
3:21
Speaker 3: one hundred show push ups right before that. Also, the
3:24
Speaker 3: Lombard family just remarkably remarkable story here and there in
3:28
Speaker 3: their entire family, as I learned about it earlier on today,
3:30
Speaker 3: but a trippy way and one that uh Wayne was
3:33
Speaker 3: very excited about George Lombard Junior yesterday. He said, they're
3:36
Speaker 3: calling him up, probably gonna go oh for four. But
3:38
Speaker 3: it is what it is. They can't hit it all.
3:40
Speaker 3: They can't hit at all, Billy, I don't.
3:43
Speaker 2: I don't know.
3:43
Speaker 3: I've ever seen a lineup that has more automatic outs.
3:46
Speaker 2: Than that one.
3:47
Speaker 3: Waits classic, Wayne. Wayne is just so famous about the Yankees.
3:51
Speaker 3: They might be the best team in the American League. No, no,
3:53
Speaker 3: not if he's why.
3:54
Speaker 2: I know it's so. I don't know they're gonna make
3:56
Speaker 2: the playoffs, that's outstand That's what he told me.
3:58
Speaker 3: That I love about that about it. I'm trying to
4:01
Speaker 3: find the guy. It was a he's kind of a
4:03
Speaker 3: career journeyman. He came up with the Yankees and he
4:06
Speaker 3: was a Bronx kid, and he hit a homer and
4:08
Speaker 3: his entire family was there and they like live right
4:11
Speaker 3: around the stadium and they were like, Mom was crying
4:14
Speaker 3: in the crowd, like because his kid hits home for
4:16
Speaker 3: the Yankees. I don't remember his name. It was a
4:18
Speaker 3: few years ago, but last quiz maybe I'll find it.
4:21
Speaker 3: But it reminded me of that where you could see
4:23
Speaker 3: mom and then like the dreams going through and seeing
4:26
Speaker 3: it like now, he wasn't a big prospect or anything,
4:29
Speaker 3: but he came up at the end of the player.
4:31
Speaker 3: Are you sure you're not a miss miscalculating a Yankee
4:34
Speaker 3: thing for a Giants thing? And this being Tommy DeVito
4:37
Speaker 3: who you're talking about. It wasn't DeVito. Wasn't DeVito, because
4:39
Speaker 3: I mean that's about it. That's again, like football version
4:42
Speaker 3: as good as it gets, grows up a Giants fan.
4:44
Speaker 3: Hey Tommy, Tommy football's playing this weekend, playing for the Giants.
4:47
Speaker 3: How you guysre gonna come to the game on Sunday?
4:49
Speaker 3: We gotta have some cutlets out there in the podcast
4:51
Speaker 3: right too.
4:51
Speaker 2: It was a very similar situation.
4:53
Speaker 3: That's awesome, And I don't he wasn't much of a
4:56
Speaker 3: he didn't have like a long career or anything.
4:58
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
4:58
Speaker 3: If it's hard to find, I'll find it. I'll find it.
5:01
Speaker 3: I keep tight hyping.
5:02
Speaker 2: I'm glad you're putting yourself on that project. I'm gonna
5:05
Speaker 2: do it.
5:05
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make it happen that and I'm gonna figure
5:08
Speaker 3: Rock stand out by the end of the day.
5:09
Speaker 2: All right. True, he's gonna be no good. He's gonna
5:11
Speaker 2: use to us for the next fifty.
5:12
Speaker 1: Two minutes eight seven seven, seven, nine ninety seven three
5:17
Speaker 1: nicolay Lot dot Com talk and text line.
5:19
Speaker 3: But superhero superheroes, current electric superheroes, especially this week, you
5:24
Speaker 3: want to talk about making sure that after some storms
5:27
Speaker 3: that have rolled through the state, you need some generator conversation.
5:30
Speaker 3: You don't want to be left out in the dark.
5:31
Speaker 3: We are praying for all of you and Mnasha Uh
5:34
Speaker 3: drove by there. I know you mentioned Drew when you
5:37
Speaker 3: guys talked to Butchie. Congratulations also to Butchy sold out
5:40
Speaker 3: basketball camp going on tomorrow. You can still make donations
5:43
Speaker 3: as well to help the Fox Valley out. But Uh,
5:46
Speaker 3: it is heartbreaking to see what's going on there in
5:48
Speaker 3: the Fox Valley and they're gonna be out without power
5:51
Speaker 3: for a long time. Don't let that and preventative. We
5:54
Speaker 3: hope that never happens in your area, into your neighborhood.
5:58
Speaker 3: But keep your family safe as much as you can
6:00
Speaker 3: with a whole home stand by generator. Current Electric can
6:03
Speaker 3: make that all happen. Call Current dot Com. That's called
6:05
Speaker 3: Current dot Com.
6:06
Speaker 1: We actually got to see Frank and Mariah from Current
6:08
Speaker 1: Electric yesterday.
6:09
Speaker 2: That was awesome.
6:10
Speaker 3: And then they also went on the Packers Stadium tour.
6:12
Speaker 3: They went on the Lambeau tour. Frank said he went
6:14
Speaker 3: to the Fenway tour. That's one that I feel like you.
6:17
Speaker 2: Have to go on. I did that.
6:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have never been to Boston, and that is
6:21
Speaker 3: one of the things that I like.
6:23
Speaker 2: Lambeau, Fenway.
6:24
Speaker 3: Those are something that I think you'd keep into that
6:26
Speaker 3: parallel of if you like walking around and seeing the
6:28
Speaker 3: nooks and grannies of a stadium, they're gonna show it
6:30
Speaker 3: completely off.
6:31
Speaker 2: I did that when it was like I was like
6:33
Speaker 2: twenty two. Maybe.
6:34
Speaker 3: We went there and I had my Carlos Villingaway with
6:36
Speaker 3: Brewers t shirt, Jersey on and it was. It was
6:39
Speaker 3: a very cool thing to be in that stadium. It's
6:41
Speaker 3: very unique. Unfortunately, like the tour guy, I think was
6:45
Speaker 3: get annoyed with me because I kept.
6:46
Speaker 2: Answering your questions. No way. She's like, all right, who
6:49
Speaker 2: knows Ted Williams like nicknames?
6:50
Speaker 3: And I kept doing it. I'm like, I'm just gonna stop.
6:52
Speaker 3: I think I'm ruined everyone's experience here.
6:55
Speaker 2: But it was.
6:55
Speaker 3: It was fun to be there. It's a cool stadium.
6:58
Speaker 3: That guy I was, I was of it.
7:00
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
7:01
Speaker 3: Mom's like, wow, you know all these questions, but I
7:03
Speaker 3: did the easy questions. We took the We took the
7:06
Speaker 3: youngster last year, Drew on the American Family Field Tour
7:10
Speaker 3: and we had an arm and on our tour, and
7:11
Speaker 3: I texted him in the middle of it, I'm like,
7:13
Speaker 3: you would you'd be going stride for stride at this
7:15
Speaker 3: guy coming in from Saint Louis, wanting to make sure
7:18
Speaker 3: that he had every question and every dad choke imaginable
7:21
Speaker 3: lined up.
7:22
Speaker 2: Oh that's good, cool.
7:24
Speaker 1: All right, keep him coming eight seven, seven, seven, nine, four,
7:26
Speaker 1: one ninety seven to three. Uh hot takes a plenty.
7:29
Speaker 1: We've been talking a lot about it. Give it up
7:31
Speaker 1: to us about Yelich if you want to hot take
7:34
Speaker 1: from a Packers camp. From my observation, Jessico Billy, Uh,
7:39
Speaker 1: that Brandon Seesa kid can play mm hmm big. And
7:42
Speaker 1: if Carrington Valentine has hamstring issues or any other issues,
7:46
Speaker 1: I could see I can envision the.
7:47
Speaker 2: Scenario where he's the weak one starting.
7:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he gets the first day Drew filling in
7:52
Speaker 3: for Keishawn Nixon when he had the hammy look good
7:55
Speaker 3: and then validates it these last two days when Carrington
7:57
Speaker 3: Valentine's been out uh with with his hammy issue. And
8:01
Speaker 3: now that you've put the pads on, that caveats not there,
8:04
Speaker 3: and I think he's moved almost better when the pads
8:08
Speaker 3: have been on, which is kind of a tough thing
8:09
Speaker 3: to do when you're at that size.
8:11
Speaker 2: Drew, did you did it feel like to you?
8:13
Speaker 3: On the sidelines he feels a little bit bigger than
8:15
Speaker 3: the six foot one ninety frame, like he fills it
8:17
Speaker 3: out pretty well.
8:19
Speaker 2: Uh, And it's just.
8:20
Speaker 3: Big yeah, really a smooth athlete like uh. And he's
8:24
Speaker 3: going up mostly against Matthew Golden, who looks about as
8:27
Speaker 3: in control of his own body as I've ever seen
8:29
Speaker 3: somebody on the outside. His control is pretty impressive in
8:33
Speaker 3: his route running right now feels as good as it's been.
8:36
Speaker 3: You just see a very very confident cat there on
8:40
Speaker 3: the outside. That's a tough thing to do six days
8:42
Speaker 3: into your pro career, very tough. And he yeah, he
8:45
Speaker 3: just fluid, just like he just looks like he belongs.
8:48
Speaker 3: And I also it also looks like he's going to
8:50
Speaker 3: be somebody that Jonathan Gannon's gonna enjoy because we got
8:53
Speaker 3: to see a double cat blitz earlier on the camp.
8:55
Speaker 3: We saw a couple of corner blitzz yesterday. That's a
8:58
Speaker 3: big win one. We also had a uh a hot
9:00
Speaker 3: take here on the talking text line about Brandon see
9:02
Speaker 3: you say, not only will he be the starting corner,
9:06
Speaker 3: he will be top three in defensive Rookie of the
9:08
Speaker 3: Year like that.
9:10
Speaker 2: That's a hot take that there.
9:12
Speaker 3: You know, Packers kind of need an impact player like
9:16
Speaker 3: that that position. Though, I mean it's been a while,
9:19
Speaker 3: I think you know obviously here when he came up,
9:21
Speaker 3: but when you also have three guys in the back end,
9:25
Speaker 3: and Drew mentioned it when he joined me yesterday. Uh
9:28
Speaker 3: at the end of training camp live, Evan Williams when
9:32
Speaker 3: you're running that three safety defense, and I think that's
9:35
Speaker 3: gonna be that's gonna be their base. With Buller Bullard
9:39
Speaker 3: in the slot, Williams as well as McKinney into the
9:42
Speaker 3: back end, you're gonna have as much opportunity to cover
9:45
Speaker 3: a lot of ground and then get your hands on
9:46
Speaker 3: the football. Hopefully have more opportunities for because you only
9:50
Speaker 3: had what fourteen Takeaways talked about how Nichol is basically
9:53
Speaker 3: based now for NFL defense.
9:55
Speaker 1: I kind of like, I walk into the Packers. It's
9:57
Speaker 1: my first practice of camp, second padded practice, right, So
10:01
Speaker 1: I walk in and I'm like, armin, Like it's a
10:03
Speaker 1: sensory overload. I don't know what to watch, Like you know,
10:06
Speaker 1: your your buddy, the elf, everything's like thing there, I
10:08
Speaker 1: gotta watch this, gotta watch this, and I'm trying to
10:09
Speaker 1: hear what the coaches are barking at guys, and you're
10:12
Speaker 1: just it's overwhelming. And then you gotta like, all right,
10:14
Speaker 1: I gotta focus on certain players and just watch. I'm
10:16
Speaker 1: gonna watch this drill. I'm gonna watch this player. It's
10:19
Speaker 1: just it's kind of overwhelming. But then I lock in
10:21
Speaker 1: and I see Evan Williams for a couple players. I'm like,
10:23
Speaker 1: that dude is really good. Really, He's like really really
10:26
Speaker 1: good man that you just you can just tell. He
10:29
Speaker 1: looks like to me, like that's a that's a special cat.
10:32
Speaker 1: And I know Tucker Craft's next in line to put
10:34
Speaker 1: pen to paper, but I think Evan Williams is gonna
10:36
Speaker 1: get one of those extensions too.
10:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
10:38
Speaker 3: In that defense, Uh, they got a chance, I think
10:40
Speaker 3: to be a really really good defense. They're they're rather
10:43
Speaker 3: young and and pretty athletic in that back end, and
10:46
Speaker 3: him and Bullard are both are out about the right stuff.
10:48
Speaker 3: Drew like they're they're both uh seemingly leaders and going
10:51
Speaker 3: into their third year. And Bullard's attitude and the physicality
10:56
Speaker 3: he plays with that's what you want in a defender.
10:59
Speaker 3: And Williams has just been in the right place at
11:01
Speaker 3: the right time. Also, thing Z I hear Franklin has,
11:05
Speaker 3: you want to see it happen in games, no doubt
11:07
Speaker 3: about it. That's another great caveat. But the issue last
11:11
Speaker 3: year felt like him in pass coverage. We haven't seen
11:13
Speaker 3: him tested a ton in it yet, but he has
11:16
Speaker 3: freed up a lot of what Edrin Cooper is doing.
11:18
Speaker 3: I mean he's lining up on the line of scrimmage
11:21
Speaker 3: a ton lining up outside, lining up inside of denied
11:25
Speaker 3: Dennis Sutton or Baron Serell yesterday at one point. So
11:28
Speaker 3: I was very, very excited to see what they're going
11:30
Speaker 3: to do with the multitude and multiple type of defense.
11:33
Speaker 3: But the other hot take that I had is Baron
11:35
Speaker 3: Serell is ready to play.
11:36
Speaker 2: Let's go.
11:37
Speaker 3: Baron Serell is ready to play, and he's ready to
11:40
Speaker 3: contribute in games. He's been lining up opposite Van Ness
11:44
Speaker 3: with the ones consistently through camp. He probably had the
11:47
Speaker 3: highlight in the play of camp so far, where yesterday
11:50
Speaker 3: they ran a sweet throwback screen to Jacob's had a big,
11:54
Speaker 3: sizeable game in like the first team period. Second team
11:56
Speaker 3: period comes they run probably not the exact same play right,
12:01
Speaker 3: but a similar motion into the backfield. I'll boot to
12:04
Speaker 3: the right for Jordan Love throwback screen and Baron Sorel
12:08
Speaker 3: drops out, picks it, runs it up to the house
12:10
Speaker 3: and celebrates and gets one of the rare pops for
12:13
Speaker 3: the defense. In training camp, he looks like a physical specimen.
12:17
Speaker 3: He worked out with Parsons and his trainer pretty much
12:19
Speaker 3: all off season long. Awesome and going into year number
12:22
Speaker 3: two from the SEC. You know, he contributed in the
12:26
Speaker 3: SEC on a good Texas team, but now to see
12:30
Speaker 3: what you have to do and how you have to
12:32
Speaker 3: be able to counter moves in the NFL. I think
12:34
Speaker 3: he's ready to go, And don't be surprised if ninety
12:37
Speaker 3: nine is a contributor for you throughout the season.
12:39
Speaker 2: Well would love that.
12:40
Speaker 3: I mean that would be great, especially you know, you
12:42
Speaker 3: always want an impact player from that that type of
12:45
Speaker 3: area from the draft. If he can become that. But
12:47
Speaker 3: also we all full in love of them at for
12:48
Speaker 3: his first press conference, being here at Lambeau when he
12:51
Speaker 3: was drafted, being here in Green Bay and walking across,
12:54
Speaker 3: wouldn't it be great if he was able to be
12:56
Speaker 3: caught that type of contributor.
12:58
Speaker 2: The Impackers would need somebody like that that make great.
13:00
Speaker 2: It would love that.
13:02
Speaker 1: The uh earlier we've been we talked about Yelich and
13:05
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, maybe get him out of his snap
13:07
Speaker 1: the slump, play him in the left field for a game,
13:09
Speaker 1: play yellows in the outfield, give him something to think about it,
13:12
Speaker 1: let him work.
13:12
Speaker 2: Shake it up a little bit. Come on, well, has
13:14
Speaker 2: it happened because of trades.
13:15
Speaker 1: The Phillies had to put Bryce Harper in right field yesterday,
13:18
Speaker 1: his first time in the outfield since April sixteenth, twenty
13:22
Speaker 1: twenty two.
13:22
Speaker 2: Uh oh.
13:23
Speaker 1: And he goes rolling out there and at Citizens Bank
13:26
Speaker 1: the bleacher creatures are giving him a rousing ovation. He
13:29
Speaker 1: gives him the Eddie rows out there. You said, the ball,
13:32
Speaker 1: first pitch, fly ball the right field, right.
13:34
Speaker 2: To you, and Stilly gets yourself right pick. Oh my, most.
13:38
Speaker 1: Time in six years. It took one pitch for him
13:40
Speaker 1: to get a ball hit to him.
13:41
Speaker 2: It's pretty funny how that works. Ball don't lie man, No,
13:44
Speaker 2: the ball will find you.
13:45
Speaker 1: And that's why anybody who says he put chruson Yellow's
13:48
Speaker 1: ninth while you bet him. And I'm like, he's gonna
13:50
Speaker 1: come up with guys on base. It's gonna happen Joey
13:52
Speaker 1: or days it's gonna happen.
13:54
Speaker 2: Well and Drew.
13:55
Speaker 3: I mean, at that point, I would wonder how much
13:57
Speaker 3: they've talked about like utilizing, because again we can really
14:01
Speaker 3: dig into the baseball refords. I think he's got four
14:03
Speaker 3: pinch hits this year. He's got three hits, so maybe
14:07
Speaker 3: some would say, maybe you Matt stares it and only
14:09
Speaker 3: bring him in the certain spots, but you're gonna be
14:13
Speaker 3: up with guys on in scoring position, and that's kind
14:16
Speaker 3: of been where he's been best so far. Now, He's
14:19
Speaker 3: not been great in a lot of roles, if any,
14:21
Speaker 3: throughout the year, but like you mentioned, late and close,
14:26
Speaker 3: his numbers are still probably best on the team, so
14:29
Speaker 3: down in the order maybe.
14:30
Speaker 2: He has more opportunity to have guys on base.
14:32
Speaker 3: I also do feel like once you get to late
14:35
Speaker 3: September and into October, as long as he's giving you
14:38
Speaker 3: the quality at bad, I feel decent about him getting
14:41
Speaker 3: on base, and then you have to see if as
14:44
Speaker 3: Eric from the Prairie mentions on the YouTube comments, I
14:46
Speaker 3: don't think Yellie's back can handle left field.
14:48
Speaker 2: We'll see if it can.
14:49
Speaker 3: I also want to know how much it can handle,
14:51
Speaker 3: you know, maybe stealing a couple of bases, because I
14:53
Speaker 3: do think that could be Drew.
14:54
Speaker 2: If he can get on you can still be.
14:57
Speaker 1: The base runner that is an additive to the squad,
15:00
Speaker 1: can be batting one ninety nine for a month like
15:02
Speaker 1: he is. And I still think if I'm managing a game,
15:06
Speaker 1: and to the point of someone earlier bringing up Caleb Durbin, Like,
15:09
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, like where Yelich is in the lineup more
15:12
Speaker 1: than Caleb Durban, right, because it's especially because it's a
15:14
Speaker 1: lefty thing and as cartoon thing. But I'm like, I'm like,
15:17
Speaker 1: I'm not game planning around.
15:18
Speaker 3: Caleb Durban per se, No, no, no, no, Yelich I
15:21
Speaker 3: would be the name still jumps off the stage.
15:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still commands respects.
15:25
Speaker 3: Just like laid into his career, Braun's name still carried
15:28
Speaker 3: a different level away when you saw it in the lineup.
15:31
Speaker 3: I also would be interested to see how much we
15:35
Speaker 3: can get from just as much Andrew Vaughn as possible
15:40
Speaker 3: as a good thing. Now the Jake Bauers injury, he
15:43
Speaker 3: might force Vaughan into the lineup a little bit more.
15:46
Speaker 3: But you've seen it throughout. They really quietly made sal
15:50
Speaker 3: the fourth outfielder this year. It'll be interesting to see
15:53
Speaker 3: if fully healthy, if you will see manufactured days where
15:58
Speaker 3: Yelich comes into the game lay maybe is just against lefties,
16:01
Speaker 3: and then he enters the game as a DHR pinch
16:04
Speaker 3: hits Hitto the fifth inning. But both of those guys
16:06
Speaker 3: bats in the lineup is gonna be a key last night.
16:10
Speaker 3: I mean for the last month and a half, How
16:11
Speaker 3: on earth is Garrett Mitchell only hitting six? How on
16:13
Speaker 3: earth is he hitting seventh? He's the guy that you
16:15
Speaker 3: move up to move alt right back down. Oh for
16:18
Speaker 3: four or three K's just sometimes it happens like that,
16:20
Speaker 3: and then you know, Churio has a three eight games,
16:23
Speaker 3: So you just never know.
16:24
Speaker 2: You take the ebbs and flows as they come.
16:26
Speaker 3: You. You hope at the right time. All guys are
16:28
Speaker 3: kind of hitting their crest. But the team is I mean,
16:31
Speaker 3: seventy fastest and seventy wins in franchise history. That's the
16:34
Speaker 3: one thing you can say about this is that they
16:36
Speaker 3: win in the midst of all this stuff.
16:38
Speaker 2: That's I don't know why last night felt like a
16:39
Speaker 2: bigger win.
16:40
Speaker 3: I think because they like after the trader had to
16:42
Speaker 3: get up off the shot last night, and I thought
16:46
Speaker 3: that was a big win.
16:47
Speaker 2: It was. Well, we have.
16:48
Speaker 1: Orthopedic associates with Wisconsin Injury Report because Kyle Harrison coming
16:51
Speaker 1: back after the yes, you know he returns.
16:55
Speaker 3: He gets the face Skeens tonight. Skeens has not been greater.
16:58
Speaker 3: You mentioned it a little earlier in his life. Last
17:00
Speaker 3: two outings, uh five and a third. Gave up six
17:03
Speaker 3: hits five ernies against the Cubs in an eleven ozer
17:06
Speaker 3: Pirates loss.
17:07
Speaker 2: They lost eight seven.
17:08
Speaker 3: His last time out against the Red the Reds, where
17:11
Speaker 3: he gave up five on seven hits and just four innings,
17:14
Speaker 3: walked four. So then the numbers have not been schemes
17:17
Speaker 3: like since the All Star break. Necessarily Harrison. We heard
17:20
Speaker 3: from him earlier from a hunter. He's back tonight with.
17:22

20:45

20:51
Speaker 1: Brewers at home.
20:52
Speaker 2: More traffic on nine ninety four.
20:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say National Avenue good luck, like
20:57
Speaker 3: this is a this is a toeve week week and
20:59
Speaker 3: a half for that. But it makes for a great doubleheader,
21:03
Speaker 3: right like it does make for a beautiful Sunday matinee
21:07
Speaker 3: Brewers and Twinkies, beat the twins, go over and enjoy
21:10
Speaker 3: dinner at the State Fair. Walk around my favorite the
21:12
Speaker 3: pavilion you grab yourself that baked potato, then hit that
21:17
Speaker 3: grilled cheese. That's one cap it off with the Sunday
21:19
Speaker 3: like you don't even have to leave and you get
21:21
Speaker 3: the whole three courses.
21:22
Speaker 2: That's a must have for me.
21:23
Speaker 3: Yes, you know what, Yeah, that was the one that
21:25
Speaker 3: came to mind now that I think of it, when
21:27
Speaker 3: you talked about what are your state fairit must have?
21:29
Speaker 3: It is probably the one and only time all year
21:31
Speaker 3: I actually go for a baked potato. I usually don't
21:34
Speaker 3: make one at home or order in the restaurant, but
21:37
Speaker 3: when you're at the products pavilion.
21:38
Speaker 2: There that the grilled cheese obviously you talked about drew
21:41
Speaker 2: pretty good. Yeah, we did pretty good.
21:43
Speaker 3: But then to also now that like apple cider donuts
21:46
Speaker 3: was something that you were generally only getting at the
21:48
Speaker 3: state Fair. Now in the months of September and October,
21:51
Speaker 3: you can't stumble away from apple sider donuts.
21:54
Speaker 2: The State Fair.
21:54
Speaker 3: With the cherries and different things in that Wisconsin Products pavilion,
21:57
Speaker 3: You're gonna taste to some stuff that generally you're just
22:00
Speaker 3: not going to see. True, it's just one of my
22:02
Speaker 3: absolute favorite spots and I will belly up in there
22:04
Speaker 3: for quite some time.
22:05
Speaker 2: You could do the doubleheader.
22:08
Speaker 1: You can do the State Fair is cool during the day,
22:10
Speaker 1: especially on a weekday, I agree, but it's always good
22:14
Speaker 1: opening day as well. But the Brewers play a one
22:17
Speaker 1: o'clock game tomorrow, and you could do the Brewers game
22:20
Speaker 1: and then State Fair. You could You could also do
22:23
Speaker 1: State Fair in the morning first it's stay Fair in
22:25
Speaker 1: the morning, or you can do that doubleheader on Sunday
22:28
Speaker 1: as well, and then the Brewers are out of town
22:29
Speaker 1: there on the West Coast next week. Yeah, and the
22:31
Speaker 1: breakfast at the State Fair was always a favorite.
22:34
Speaker 3: I used to take my grandma all the time. My
22:36
Speaker 3: Gramma used to take me and then I would be
22:37
Speaker 3: able to push her around for a little bit.
22:39
Speaker 2: It was. That was one of my absolute favorites.
22:41
Speaker 3: When that would wake up, when you'd be able to
22:43
Speaker 3: get in there by about nine am and get some
22:46
Speaker 3: eggs and bacon and pancakes all of a sudden in
22:48
Speaker 3: there and know that you're capping it off with the
22:50
Speaker 3: blue ribbon brownie at the.
22:51
Speaker 2: End of the day. That's a tough thing to beat.
22:54
Speaker 2: That is that's a tough day to beat. It's a
22:56
Speaker 2: great time of the year, although it is melancholy because
22:58
Speaker 2: it's the end of summer. It means that it's getting close. Yeah,
23:02
Speaker 2: we got football back, so that's good. Thank you.
23:04
Speaker 3: Football saves the day in that regard. Also, Morning State Fair, Drew. Good,
23:09
Speaker 3: if you're going to go and buy potentially three vacuums,
23:13
Speaker 3: right like, if you're gonna hit if you're gonna hit
23:15
Speaker 3: the Expo Center, and I mean hit the Expo Center,
23:18
Speaker 3: walk out of there with a couple of salsa makers. Okay,
23:20
Speaker 3: you're definitely gonna have some kind of new we thank you. Yes,
23:26
Speaker 3: four to six kit knife right, Sorry, this is a
23:29
Speaker 3: bread knife. This is a steak knife. This is a
23:31
Speaker 3: medium rare steak knife. My Pineapple Corps never worked the
23:34
Speaker 3: way the guy did it. Okay, I mean I'm sorry.
23:37
Speaker 3: And those guys working the mic, those are the you know,
23:39
Speaker 3: this is the original mic work right there that says,
23:41
Speaker 3: you know, that's where you practice. I mean, those guys
23:43
Speaker 3: spitting out that spiel.
23:45
Speaker 1: When they're talking, they were the original concept for really
23:48
Speaker 1: about the Pineapple Corps with something someone bought us. I've
23:51
Speaker 1: never purchased a full pineapple in my life because my
23:55
Speaker 1: wife hates pineapple. I have to get mine on the side.
23:58
Speaker 1: I get the already cubed version and yeah, hate you
24:04
Speaker 1: in the cocktails rail against pred pineapple is not a
24:08
Speaker 1: bad little summer. I'm allergic to pineapple. So that's the one.
24:12
Speaker 1: That's the one where I've not I've not gotten into
24:14
Speaker 1: that one.
24:15
Speaker 2: Ves or what is it like? Throw close up a
24:17
Speaker 2: little bit, man.
24:18
Speaker 3: That's tough. Yeah, that's tough. I love pineapple, but it
24:21
Speaker 3: is hard to maintain. Now, if you want to ripe pineapple,
24:24
Speaker 3: you have to pull out the spikes on top.
24:26
Speaker 2: And if they pull out easy, they're ripe.
24:27
Speaker 3: A guy told me that once at the fruit stand
24:29
Speaker 3: at the fruit shop or the fruit stand or some
24:31
Speaker 3: grocery store.
24:32
Speaker 2: I never I never like, how long do you hang
24:34
Speaker 2: out in the produce aisle? Oh?
24:35
Speaker 3: Man, you can get some good stuff done in produce, man,
24:37
Speaker 3: you can get some good stuff done.
24:39
Speaker 2: But I you know, this is a tough time of
24:40
Speaker 2: the year.
24:41
Speaker 3: The yeah, I haven't done so I haven't done that one, Drew.
24:45
Speaker 3: I have done the Salca maker a couple of times.
24:47
Speaker 2: That's good. The salta maker is a legit beast.
24:49
Speaker 3: When you're just swirling that thing around and it's dicing
24:52
Speaker 3: everything up with scrambled eggs for a little while. Actually
24:55
Speaker 3: might be a little bit of a weapon with the
24:57
Speaker 3: blackstone right dicing up the onion and peppers. Pull that
25:01
Speaker 3: right on, dice up the throw the eggs in there
25:03
Speaker 3: and you can scramble them up, pour them right into
25:05
Speaker 3: the islet.
25:06
Speaker 2: It might be even a better hacky.
25:07
Speaker 3: Shop machines like those type of things. Those are those
25:09
Speaker 3: are really useful because you are saving time and you know,
25:12
Speaker 3: onions with with the tears and everything like that, it
25:14
Speaker 3: can be painful.
25:15
Speaker 1: So I need I need the Blackstone pancake batter, dispenser.
25:19
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful to one of those.
25:21
Speaker 2: Broke.
25:21
Speaker 3: Get the real one though, yeah, because my my wife
25:24
Speaker 3: got me.
25:24
Speaker 2: The team of one and that one didn't that one.
25:26
Speaker 3: This is why state Fair Sex because we're such marks.
25:29
Speaker 3: You say we are who guys this stuff at State Fair?
25:32
Speaker 2: And listen to us. We're marks. We buy the.
25:35
Speaker 1: Stuff at State I gotta spend an hour walking through
25:37
Speaker 1: the pavilion after we had a couple of pops.
25:39
Speaker 2: I'll be honest. The Expo Center is my favorite part
25:42
Speaker 2: of State Fair. Well I was a kid. I'm like,
25:43
Speaker 2: who's out here buying a hot tub?
25:45
Speaker 3: Mind?
25:45
Speaker 1: But someone is roofing, siding, hot tubs.
25:51
Speaker 3: When we would be doing the uh when when I'd
25:53
Speaker 3: be working at the buckstand, it was like the best
25:55
Speaker 3: part of knowing every day you could crowbar out about
25:59
Speaker 3: thirty minutes for your want to be lunch break and
26:01
Speaker 3: it was just walk around and I'd try to get
26:03
Speaker 3: into as many conversations as i could. Love that I
26:06
Speaker 3: would try to have the brief because at some point
26:08
Speaker 3: by the end of the week, when I'm tearing down
26:11
Speaker 3: this stand and you're tearing down that one, you don't
26:13
Speaker 3: want to pack all that inventory up, you you know
26:17
Speaker 3: you want. I mean, you'd be proud of the deals
26:18
Speaker 3: that I was able to grab as a sixteen seventeen
26:20
Speaker 3: year old kid on the final day when everybody's tearing
26:23
Speaker 3: down the banners there in the expo center, because it
26:25
Speaker 3: is it's a deal maker's haven, and everyone's got something
26:29
Speaker 3: to sort of business going there. You got to be creative.
26:31
Speaker 2: Like the guy that cuts up the license plates to
26:33
Speaker 2: make people's names.
26:34
Speaker 3: You know, that's another good one. But that's another good
26:37
Speaker 3: one that the tax at every place. Yeah, I never
26:41
Speaker 3: saw anyone by and walk out with the stuff Grizzly Bear,
26:43
Speaker 3: but one of these days. I'm like, how do they
26:45
Speaker 3: what are they just sending these things home? Who's buying
26:47
Speaker 3: these things? But people want them obviously, And my cousin
26:50
Speaker 3: bought the like the wood sculpted Bucky Badger the one time,
26:54
Speaker 3: the big old timber log that was all painted up,
26:57
Speaker 3: and I'm like, wow, I did not actually know that
27:00
Speaker 3: somebody that they actually let you walk out of here
27:02
Speaker 3: with it. Now that they let you, they want you
27:04
Speaker 3: to walk around with that thing and let everybody know, Hey,
27:07
Speaker 3: we got some of those over the jersey guy a
27:08
Speaker 3: Lynn Dicky jersey one, which I'm like, all right, I
27:10
Speaker 3: haven't seen a number twelve Lynn Dickie. That's pretty good.
27:13
Speaker 3: So you know, you can always get one of everything.
27:15
Speaker 2: I like that.
27:17
Speaker 3: Also, go see our friends at the Milwaukee Admirals in
27:19
Speaker 3: the Xposent. You want to talk about something in the
27:21
Speaker 3: expos Center, the kids can do. They can always shoot
27:23
Speaker 3: the shoot the puck. They got merchant there, some ticket deals.
27:26
Speaker 3: Our friend Hojo will be in there. They will be
27:28
Speaker 3: hanging out with with all the kids and all the
27:30
Speaker 3: puck controllers. So that'll be a good time to be
27:32
Speaker 3: able to go and stop in. But they also then
27:35
Speaker 3: at some point the lumberjack games are gonna be in
27:37
Speaker 3: there again. X Post Center is a tough thing to
27:39
Speaker 3: beat during the State Fair. Uh, I am not gonna
27:42
Speaker 3: be in the State Fair cream puff eating contest.
27:45
Speaker 2: However, I might just make myself one.
27:47
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, you're gonna be like the year
27:48
Speaker 3: kolbe Ashi was banned, just do it from the crowd,
27:51
Speaker 3: like just the protest, because like that was I thought
27:53
Speaker 3: that was kind of sad.
27:55
Speaker 2: You weren't gonna be in the contest, you know, so, But.
27:57
Speaker 3: You know what, Listen, I was unable to make the
27:59
Speaker 3: tournament a CHAMPI is last year and beat Dario, so
28:02
Speaker 3: he kind of retired as the champ. Yetierrez was doing
28:06
Speaker 3: it too for a while. Well, and now, listen, I
28:08
Speaker 3: would tell you this. I think I almost lost my fastball,
28:11
Speaker 3: most importantly because the one time that I went face first,
28:14
Speaker 3: Drew and I got the cream up the nose.
28:16
Speaker 2: Pause.
28:17
Speaker 3: Oh boy, pause. That was a tough moment. And that's
28:20
Speaker 3: something that you don't really get over very quickly. That's
28:22
Speaker 3: one that kind of sticks into your mind for a
28:24
Speaker 3: long time, and it's a difficult one to get over.
28:27
Speaker 3: It's almost like a like a player coming back from injury. Yeah,
28:30
Speaker 3: you don't fully trust yourself unless you throw yourself.
28:32
Speaker 2: Back into the situation. Exactly.
28:34
Speaker 3: I love that I have to while we still have
28:37
Speaker 3: time and it's still hot. Hot take hump day. I
28:39
Speaker 3: have to bring up with a lot of people were
28:41
Speaker 3: talking about you yesterday, a hot take about the decision
28:45
Speaker 3: by Matt la Florida not let let the officials give
28:48
Speaker 3: the good or no good signal on the field goals
28:51
Speaker 3: for Trace Mac.
28:52
Speaker 2: Now what do we all think about?
28:53
Speaker 3: This has been like a little bit of a testy
28:55
Speaker 3: topic for some Packer fans on the interwebs and things
28:58
Speaker 3: like that.
28:59
Speaker 2: Is it saw?
29:00
Speaker 3: Is it helpful to like not, you know, let let
29:03
Speaker 3: the media keep a score. And I don't have the
29:04
Speaker 3: sound right now. But Matt la Floor said he loved
29:07
Speaker 3: making love how uncomfortable this makes you, guys. I love
29:10
Speaker 3: how mad this makes you guys. Phil Youver really went
29:12
Speaker 3: in on it a couple of different times. I I
29:16
Speaker 3: somewhat agree with Lafleur's practice. He went somewhat Ai, yeah,
29:22
Speaker 3: his version of Alan iverson. Guys were talking about practice.
29:25
Speaker 3: All right, this is practice. These don't matter. We're not
29:28
Speaker 3: in a stadium where you're actually gonna kick the wind
29:31
Speaker 3: is going to be completely different. Uh, That's when I'll
29:33
Speaker 3: start caring. You definitely turn up the temperature drew.
29:36
Speaker 2: On every one of those preseason kicks.
29:37
Speaker 3: Not like he wasn't gonna put all that pressure on
29:40
Speaker 3: himself already. But I'm not as frustrated about it because
29:46
Speaker 3: they still don't have the full operations set because matd
29:49
Speaker 3: Orzic is still out with the strain and that's changing.
29:51
Speaker 1: Lamp is a little bit high. Wheelan will still get
29:54
Speaker 1: it down, but the timing will be off.
29:56
Speaker 2: Timing will be off.
29:57
Speaker 3: Wheeland's still figuring out exactly how Smack likes to hold. Like.
30:01
Speaker 1: That's that there's a lot of work moving parts there
30:04
Speaker 1: that people don't just always on the kicker. My thing is,
30:08
Speaker 1: all right, so they draft a kicker, they moved up
30:10
Speaker 1: to get him, and we know how precious picks are,
30:13
Speaker 1: especially in Green Bay. All right, but he's the kicker,
30:15
Speaker 1: and they lost a couple of games last year.
30:17
Speaker 2: You can argue because of the fair failures kick away,
30:21
Speaker 2: it's going to be under scrutiny this time last year. McMahon.
30:24
Speaker 1: My thing is like, you know, kickers don't matter until
30:26
Speaker 1: they matter, and it's like umpires you don't notice until
30:29
Speaker 1: then you notice them. It's like they're just make the
30:32
Speaker 1: extra points, make the kicks you should make, and then
30:34
Speaker 1: if we get into a situation where you have to
30:36
Speaker 1: hit a walk off, you know, be nice.
30:37
Speaker 3: To yeah, then then be able to cap one and
30:39
Speaker 3: we'll smile, but with smack.
30:41
Speaker 1: In other markets, do you get ten guys at the
30:45
Speaker 1: same time tweeting the results of the kick and like
30:48
Speaker 1: keeping the tally even if it's unofficial, like.
30:51
Speaker 2: He's eight for thirteen in camp? Was that happen in
30:54
Speaker 2: other places? Into a frenzy? Let's face, do we go to?
30:58
Speaker 2: Did we go?
30:59
Speaker 1: Earlier in Giannis's career, when he was struggling at the line,
31:02
Speaker 1: did we go to?
31:02
Speaker 2: That's the thing I thought?
31:06
Speaker 3: Like, The thing is we are watching practice, right and
31:09
Speaker 3: we're watching guys work on stuff, So it's like, that's
31:12
Speaker 3: the thing I thought about. It's like if someone was
31:14
Speaker 3: inside during a Jannis practice when he was all in
31:16
Speaker 3: the gym counting his free free throws and put him
31:19
Speaker 3: on Twitter, that would be a little counter productive.
31:21
Speaker 2: Maybe, so maybe think of this in a different way.
31:23
Speaker 3: When initially I was put off by the well, what
31:25
Speaker 3: does it matter if he makes me or not. But
31:27
Speaker 3: it's like, well, he has a point that right now,
31:30
Speaker 3: in practice working on stuff, you can't just use good
31:33
Speaker 3: and no good as the only.
31:34
Speaker 2: Result and the only brown.
31:36
Speaker 3: Well, and it's also like the practice kicks are not
31:38
Speaker 3: the equivalent of your training your spring training at bats
31:42
Speaker 3: right that would be your preseason game. This would be
31:45
Speaker 3: as if you're doing simulated.
31:46
Speaker 2: Games, this is bps BP.
31:48
Speaker 1: So like, should we be charting how Chris Youellich hits
31:50
Speaker 1: during VP and see if that correlates to the game, Like.
31:52
Speaker 2: Right, Drew, don't give anybody any eye. In the history
31:54
Speaker 2: of baseball, no one's ever really done that.
31:57
Speaker 3: There'll be people sneaking into to try to make sure
31:59
Speaker 3: that they get yell it. Just be beted it now,
32:01
Speaker 3: you see, you know Hunter's going to be for.
32:03
Speaker 2: The right field. He's pulling it too much, rolling over.
32:07
Speaker 3: And I think I understand it because there's a frustration
32:09
Speaker 3: of having to go through the odgit of a kicker
32:12
Speaker 3: every year.
32:12
Speaker 2: We don't we've got this problem.
32:14
Speaker 3: We haven't had a reliable kicker for a while, So
32:16
Speaker 3: I definitely get it.
32:17
Speaker 2: You know you think you did.
32:19
Speaker 3: Then he misses him in the playoffs McManus. But the
32:22
Speaker 3: thing is if you hope to invest in the guy
32:24
Speaker 3: for long term and to have it be your guy,
32:26
Speaker 3: it might not always look pretty early on all the time.
32:28
Speaker 2: It might not be that.
32:29
Speaker 3: Look at Mason's numbers. The first four years of his
32:32
Speaker 3: career were.
32:32
Speaker 2: Up and down.
32:33
Speaker 3: Man, I think he was like a mid seventies in
32:36
Speaker 3: terms of field goal percentages his first three or four years,
32:38
Speaker 3: and anders was the eighty one percent and that wasn't
32:41
Speaker 3: reaching the threshold anymore. And that's what's changed around the
32:43
Speaker 3: spot to the point. Mason made big kicks.
32:46
Speaker 2: That's it.
32:47
Speaker 3: And like even when you still struggle early, do you
32:50
Speaker 3: make the big ones?
32:51
Speaker 2: Like you can.
32:51
Speaker 3: Make the most of make your extra points, make most
32:55
Speaker 3: of them that you have to. But when the money
32:57
Speaker 3: is on the table, can you smack one through? And
32:59
Speaker 3: that's gonna be the real question. And that's something that
33:02
Speaker 3: you cannot manufacture as much as you put fifty seconds
33:05
Speaker 3: on the clock. And twenty eight, twenty six, and Wayne
33:08
Speaker 3: and I are joking about it on Monday, and now
33:09
Speaker 3: the Packers line up to beat the Chicago Bears and
33:11
Speaker 3: send themselves to its NFC North Division title. That doesn't play,
33:16
Speaker 3: and you can't you can't play that way, especially when.
33:19
Speaker 2: The backdrop is the same.
33:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't the same, right, Like you're not kicking into
33:23
Speaker 3: the resh center when we play NFL games, that backdrop
33:27
Speaker 3: is gonna be a little bit different. And that's the
33:29
Speaker 3: bad memory of McManus memory in the playoffs of what
33:31
Speaker 3: should tell us that what happens this time of the
33:34
Speaker 3: year doesn't do anything for what's gonna happen in the
33:36
Speaker 3: middle of the winter. McManus couldn't miss last year if
33:39
Speaker 3: you remember. I mean, we always would talk about how
33:41
Speaker 3: good he was, you know, in practice and nailing sixty
33:44
Speaker 3: yards and things like that.
33:45
Speaker 2: I don't know.
33:46
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, you have to give it time. And
33:49
Speaker 3: so maybe this methodology by Matt Lafloor to say, you
33:54
Speaker 3: know what, we're just gonna avoid anyone trying to talk
33:56
Speaker 3: about it. Put pressure on the kid. Maybe that'll help.
34:00
Speaker 3: It might work. It might, it might be, Mike might
34:04
Speaker 3: might not. Might yield different results. Listen, they've been struggling
34:07
Speaker 3: anyway without it. So lots of soccer players Wisconsin sportsman
34:11
Speaker 3: egg looking for it.
34:12
Speaker 2: I did like that. Yeah, there's a lot, a lot
34:14
Speaker 2: that might be.
34:15
Speaker 3: There's also only some that I think would would be
34:17
Speaker 3: able to make the transition. Now, that was big in
34:19
Speaker 3: the nineties. Tony Miola was the guy. But what about
34:21
Speaker 3: I mean the goalie for the US team. I would
34:24
Speaker 3: look even no further than the cat in Dallas. I
34:27
Speaker 3: mean he was a soccer player for the long term ago.
34:29
Speaker 3: His wife was like, wait a second, you could do that.
34:30
Speaker 3: That was that's become a thing for a Look that
34:33
Speaker 3: are you kidding me? That was in high school. Yeah,
34:34
Speaker 3: and why don't you try it? Why don't you get
34:36
Speaker 3: out of the house a little bit, billy?
34:37
Speaker 2: Didn't they have it with no where? The kid from
34:38
Speaker 2: the soccer team came over to kick.
34:40
Speaker 3: We had a foreign exchange student from Germany. He was
34:43
Speaker 3: our kicker. Manu my man had himself a good time. Yeah,
34:46
Speaker 3: there you go. You want to talk about living the
34:49
Speaker 3: American dream coming over from Germany, beyond the beyond the
34:52
Speaker 3: football team, be the soccer player and the kicker and
34:55
Speaker 3: also like one of the coolest, best looking guys in school.
34:58
Speaker 2: That's a tough thing to beat. There you go, that
34:59
Speaker 2: tough life to beat. That's rough. Good four months. That
35:02
Speaker 2: kid had a very good four months.
35:04

36:42
Speaker 3: it and underneath says what the head coach. Of course
36:45
Speaker 3: this hasn't been done before, but we're not crazy. So
36:47
Speaker 3: you're not going to be able to drum up maybe
36:50
Speaker 3: three straight neil bounds on a fake punt on fourth down.
36:53
Speaker 2: They're not doing that. It's within a reason.
36:55
Speaker 3: What is it.
36:55
Speaker 2: You get to sit with the coaches, but you get to.
36:58
Speaker 3: Game plan up for offensive coordinator game giving one lucky

Speaker 3: new ways to bring our fans closer.
37:25
Speaker 2: To the program. You can't get closer than that.
