And with not addressing quarterback or running back in the Draft, how do the guys feel about Desmond Ridder and Marshawn Lloyd being the primary backups at two key offensive positions for the Packers this season? The guys review commentary on both positions from Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst.

Should I hold it up? I swear I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it Should I hold it up? I swear I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it Looking on you till you get I feel I'll keep chasing and I'll miss you Should I hold it up? I swear I'm making better Should I hold it up? Should I hold it up? Should I hold it up? Should I hold it up? We go ahead with the 10 o'clock hour Late as it often is Of Wildean's house So Towsh, you joined us yesterday Were you out of racetrack? No, we were out there We rented a couple of spots So we were just outside on a beautiful lake It's a boating, did a little, you know So we were out there and the birds were chirping They were chirping away But for those that missed it, they can tune in

On the ESPN app or go back and watch on YouTube You can hear the birdies chirping as Towsh is talking to us But not everyone listens every day So your overarching thought of the draft class was what? Surprise that was such a few amount of players Very surprised that you traded up Got rid of picks to get a kicker It was, it just reiterated to me And when I joined you guys on my show yesterday It was, I thought very telling that Is there anybody that you're looking at saying They're going to need to make a huge contribution Outside of smack To win a championship Barring injury No, right I think when you look at it, it's like yeah, it's great that Our first or second round pick is talented He's obviously got all the skill, you know All of the tangible things But are we going to count on him from day one? I'm guessing no

Hopefully by Thanksgiving we're like What a great draft pick this kid's going to be the guy for a while That would be awesome McClellan, if you put him in And he's going to be a nice depth piece to start And maybe he'll be a insurance policy If Devante White leaves, right? Maybe that's going to be a part of the operation But this is Goody saying we're going to add pieces But our move was made in August the last year Correct Our team is good enough to win We need to stay healthy, we need these guys But we really need the serrals And those type of players to take that really big jump Because those are the guys that are going to be counted on The championship this year, these are all players that can help Can do some things But we're not going to lean on them In any major way, especially in September and October

Maybe they'll have to elevate their roles and play later in the season And if that's the case, we think they're talented enough And coaches, you better be coaching them up Because the limited amount of pieces was probably the biggest news As I've gotten some time to kind of take a longer look at it That was the big overall theme that I looked at Yeah, and I thought you made a good point earlier about the pressure That is put on trace smack Not only of being drafted but also them trading up to do so I think Goody's argument would be The guys that we liked that we would have probably chosen in the seventh round We got them as undrafted free agents We did not have seventh round grades on them We didn't have enough guys that we liked so we figured we could package those picks And I think that that's a fair position for him to hold But to your point about what impact they might have

Goody trotted out one of my favorite lines about what decides a team's success When he was asked if they are closer to winning a Super Bowl based on how the draft played out Over many years but how much closer do you feel over the last three days That you and the team got to the ultimate goal of obviously getting back in Super Bowl winning Yeah, I think when you're looking at the draft I mean, you know, our most seasons are determined by the guys that are coming back Not necessarily the guys that are getting to the draft These guys are just starting their NFL journey and they're so much in front of them And I feel really good about all of them You know, and I think they're going to have a chance to have an opportunity to be very good players in this league But you know, you don't win the Super Bowl during the draft, you know But certainly I felt like over the course of the three days that we did some good things to help our football team And help the group that's coming back But it remains to be seen how these guys in the NFL careers will go The chance to have an opportunity, a new variation on the chileism of a chance to have a chance

That's a Ted Thompsonism, right? You know, the players that are here are the ones that are going to decide whether or not Your core players in your stars are what make the, that's what makes you tick These other guys are going to have a chance to become really good players and then maybe a star Like if you were counting on Tucker Kraft as a rookie to be the guy that he is when he comes back from this injury You're going to be disappointed There are guys that can play David Bakhtiari He'll tell you all the time, he struggled his rookie year, he was good enough to play and he did it But that wasn't prime David Bakhtiari You're prime time players, every coach I've ever primed, big time players make big time plays in big time games I mean, that's as simple as how do you go win a championship? Use that sentence, you can say it over and over because that doesn't matter if it's NASCAR, if it's basketball If it's football, that's how it works And bringing people in and you can find some rookies that will make huge contributions

But you're not going to see a rookie lead a team to a championship They're going to be a part of it, they can be a piece to it But tell me a time that you saw a rookie player Even Tom Brady in year two or three when he won his first Super Bowl That wasn't his show He did what he needed to But it was, you know, the defensive guys That is the essence of what Brian Goody could say And I could not agree with him more That's always the case Drafts are incredibly important Getting young players that are going to be really good players for you at some point Is the goal of it It's not to have studs right out of the gate now If you can do it, good on you But I don't think that was the thought process by Brian Goodykin's heading into this year's draft Has it been since like Clay Matthews is a rookie that we've seen a rookie have a massive impact immediately Like he had double-digit sex as a rookie year, if I remember

I mean, Belaga obviously is a starting right tackle on the Super Bowl team I guess if you're seeing right from the jump I don't even, he left to remind me on Clay in 09 How much he played right away I don't know if he started right out of the gate I think BJ Rajee started right out of the gate But the point on that is that wasn't the Super Bowl year anyways Right The point on that The point on that And Brian came in, what, October-ish And he struggled to, he had to get his bearings at bottom And by, you know, Thanksgiving And Christmas time he's getting confident and playing within himself That's kind of the road map if you're going to be a rookie You can start right away and if you're a first-round pick or a second-round pick That's, you know, I think the initial goal But then you're typically, when you're leaning on that, that's usually not the formula that wins So Goody knows it, I think Matt LaFlora knows I think they all understand that this is all part of being on the team

But if this team is going to win and Ted always said And matter of fact, the one of the rare times Ted came down into our meeting room Which is now your media room was to come out and say It was disappointing season, he didn't do his job But he also wanted to reiterate, man, it was, at that point I was in right in the meet of my career I took that, you take it hard when a coach, or when a GM tells you Our guys, we need all of our veteran players didn't play well enough this year And that's why Mike Sherman's walking out the door It's not because that is why teams win or lose Is your elevator years, your core veteran players are going to be the guys that do it This is all just a way of kind of almost subsidizing or bringing, if you're counting on these five or six guys To be monster contributors in this team, they're not winning a championship

Clay Matthews as a rookie Ten sacks Three fumble recoveries, one forced fumble, a touchdown return of a fumble Proble selection Third in the defensive rookie of the year balloting Then in his second season, when you guys won the Super Bowl Proble again, first team all pro finished second in the defensive player of the year balloting So that would be Jason, that's what helped me see say, how do we say that? Yeah, Brandon see say That would be the trajectory, I mean, if you could get that, that is, like Clay Matthews is a borderline hall of fame player I think he'll have a really good opportunity to get it I think we forget how good he was, like, because people were frustrated with him late in his time Even though he wasn't as injured as everybody thought, and he played middle line backer

But if you could have, and especially in that room, that corner back room, which we all thought needed to be addressed And Goody, that was obviously the spot he felt as well, and he told you that If this cat could come out and be a shut down, I might even ask him to be in all pro If he could just be a solid starting number one or two corner, he's successful, that's a successful draft pick And if he can elevate and be in that case of a Clay Matthews name, I'd be a hell of a career And I'd be great if any of these guys could be in that category We will go from discussing immediate impact by rookies to the importance of the backup, quarterback position As Goody discussed with us on Saturday evening, we'll do that after Towsh tells us about Amphan Oh, American Family Insurance, a proud partner of Wilde and Towsh from the jump And you know, playing in Green Bay for over a decade, I learned quickly

You gotta have the right protection up front, you can then play with confidence That's what American Family Insurance has been doing for almost a hundred years protecting your home auto And the dreams that you're building with your family so you can focus on what matters most Enter carefully and dream fearlessly with American Family Insurance, get a quote or find an agent at Amphan.com Jesse with one of his most clever lines, I've seen from him in a while on the run down I'll tell you what it is next, it's Wilde and Towsh This is Wilde and Towsh, presented by Pella Windows and Doors of Wisconsin Call Gina Della from Pella today, 855 Pella WI and online at www.comslashradio

So, Jesse, when you watch TV, which I know you do a lot, and no longer on the baby phone like you used to Like, these shows, they have, I think they're called cryons or cryons where they have like, at the bottom of the screen they're telling you what they're talking about This one, ridder me this, is some of your best work I think we should start putting these up during conversations Thank you, thank you Because there is a question about the back-up quarterback scenario And Desmond Ritter is the leader in the clubhouse, the Packers did not As we talked about before the draft, I didn't find it likely that they were going to draft the quarterback they didn't I didn't find it likely that they were going to sign Cursons they didn't Do I think it's likely that they would trade for Anthony Richardson? I don't If Anthony Richardson were to get released, do I think they might have an interest? I do, by the way, people forget this because they were busy killing Towsh about it

But multiple reports indicated that the Packers did inquire about Justin Fields before he was dealt So, Towsh was not as off-base as some people wanted him to be But as of now, Towsh, it appears to be, ridder me this And I asked both Goody and LaFlure about that, and I'm going to be writing about it later today, spoiler alert But before we play what they said, my question for you is, how do you feel about that? I feel fine about it We all had the same conversation with Malik Willis until Malik Willis got developed by Matt LaFlure And he didn't really tell us So, Jordan Love is the guy, we all know that If he gets dinged up, I would think that, you know, then what we've seen from Goody is if he doesn't think Ritter or who's the other guy

Kyle Gord If either of those guys aren't good enough and don't show enough in training camp, he'll go find somebody else I just trust this system, I trust what these guys are doing because they've handled the backup quarterback and the quarterback position really well Developed it, you have to go off of, you know, if I was talking about other positions, what? I love Sean Clifford, great dude, he reminds me a lot of Matt Flynn But like, he didn't get called into action during 2023, right? Jordan Love stayed healthy that whole first season as the starter And then Goody decided after training camp that a guy that he'd spent the fifth round pick on was not in fact good enough But so I went and traded for Malik That's my point, he makes the moves that he feels like our need to be made even though they're tough The easy thing that year would have been, Jordan's young, he's going to stay healthy

Sean Clifford, we still think he can develop, they didn't feel that way So they pulled the cord And I know you're talking, I don't want to get all morbid here You have to be willing to pull the cord when it's time And Goody has shown he's done that and it's not, this is a results business And I know everybody always wants to talk process and that is great and that's what you should do You should trust your process Goody's trusted his process in these quarterback scenarios and they've gotten it right That doesn't mean Ritter's going to be any good or McCord's going to be any good Hopefully we don't have to find out But I am giving benefit of the doubt Ritter's started games, he's beating the Green Bay Packers So now I do believe he's saying to Matt LaFloor and his coaching staff Here's a guy who's talented, he won a lot of games at Cincinnati He's a good player, he's struggling, that's why he's here

Turn him into another reclamation project Let's get him in the same boat as Malik If he has to play, I want you having him ready and I want you to rock and roll And if by August 30th, they don't feel that way My guess is they'll go scouring And that's when you can really get critical if you want Because had we went out and lost two or three games the year Jordan got hurt and that opener in Brazil I guarantee you we had a crushed Goody and with good reason But when you win and you're right, you deserve the benefit of the doubt And that's why I might give it to him Here is my question to Goody And his response about the backup quarterback position Desmond did start 18 games in Malik He had him for a little while before, he seemed like Do you feel like maybe you can catch lightning and bottle the way you did with Malik And develop him to be that kind of an insurance policy

Yeah, that'd be nice I mean, I think again, I'm excited about the competition in that room And we'll see if we add to it along the way But it's a really important thing for us I mean, Jordan in the last two years has missed some time And we've needed somebody to come in there and play at a high level to win those games So whoever's called to palm, we're going to expect that And you know, when you lose a guy like Malik, it is It's something you're going to have to replace And we're going to try to do that I know it's a fact and he's acknowledging a fact But the fact that he says that Jordan has missed time You know, that shows that he's being realistic about the importance of that role Because let's be honest During your time with Farve And quite frankly, the year that Rogers broke his collarbone in 13 Where they had Vince Young in camp They had like three quarterbacks in camp, they didn't keep any of them Right? They brought in Scotty Tollsine, they brought in Senegal Wallace More often than not, the backup quarterback position, nobody even thought about it

Because Farve played through everything and Rogers played through everything except broken collarbones And it was just something that was not... It was more seen as an asset to trade stuff away To be able to go get picks for the guys you were developing Than actually developing them to fill in for them, right? Not everybody's Aaron Rogers and Brett Farve Right? So I think it was great that this was highlighted We hope that we don't see it I hope we don't even ever talk about a backup quarterback again until I know we will in August But once it gets to be September 12th or whatever day that first game is Yeah, I hope we don't even broach it because that means that that means good things So you need to address it, you need to have a plan And then the big thing is you need to make sure that you're prepared with that plan I don't fully understand, I just listen to that What kind of bottle is Goody got? Is he that strong? Because I'm trying to like crinkle my water bottle like that

He is like the Hulk with this water bottle, just let's play that again Desmond did start 18 games in the league, I had him for a little while before Do you feel like maybe you can I thought I know they have an official water of Green Bay Is that bottle just like that strong? Maybe he was really irked by Jason's question Or that tells me he's very anxious about where they're at with the quarterback So here's what we need to check because I asked Matt Laflour about the backup quarterback position too Let's see if he takes a drink of his water bottle But the drink, it's the crushing of that I know, but I think it's the water in there You get one of those baby bottles of water that aren't strong plastic You can crunch it up and then you can get all anybody can do that Goody does that, I don't know if that is that This is more of a harder bottle Desmond did start 18 games in the league, I had him for a little while before

Do you feel like maybe you can That's violent Okay, so Matt Laflour usually Goody has caught on to the Matt Laflour trick He got the memo A welding question will be long enough that you can get a pull of your water bottle Let's see, do we have Matt Laflour? Does he drink? You sure do Well, let's find out You didn't drop the quarterback You obviously have Desmond and you have Kyle There's a lot of bottle there I see you feel like you have the best insurance policy in the league last year Is that hard to replicate? I think we all know how we felt about Malik His ability to go out there Give us a chance to go win games And he did exactly that I think it's a work in progress I don't want to speak too early We haven't even done classroom work with these guys I mean, we had a limited exposure to Desmond last year

But what I can say is those guys are doing a great job in the meetings And we're looking forward to getting our hands on them as we progress into phase two All right, so that's a good quote I'm going to use it in my story But now I've got to get after Josh Tommascio That's not someone crinkling a paper in the audience That is the water bottle Quality of the water bottle It's not the excruing the cap on It's him like crunching the body of the water bottle Check it one more time Because Josh says the sound doesn't match It totally does match I'll read him to develop him to be that kind of an insurance policy Here we go Yeah, that'd be nice I mean, I think I'll get back it up Desmond did start 18 years in the league I've had him for a little while before Do you feel like that? You can catch white people His right hand and grip is gripping in as he's putting the water bottle down And he's obviously squeezing it

Yes Josh doesn't know what he's talking about Don't go on this hill Josh You have too many good points you bring up You're wrong on this Good crush Good to crush bottle Good to crunch That deserves more attention Than it's probably going to get Josh may not know what the heck he's talking about But associated bank knows what it's talking about when it has great customer service And brewers checking Listen to all these perks you get From the associated bank brewers checking 20% off the brewers team store When you show your brewers card Up to 50% off home game tickets For brewers checking account customers Express entry through that beautiful Associated bank entrance at American Family Field Concert and event access Pre-sale access to designated concerts

Go to associatedbank.com to find out more More will the attached straight ahead stick around This is Will the Entouch Driven by Zimbrick Chevrolet and Sun Prairie on 100.5 ESPN See their full inventory at Zimbrick Chevrolet.com So one of the conversations that we've been having in recent weeks

Is about our confidence in the Packers starting Frontline starters on offense and defense And that leads to what we discussed earlier About they don't necessarily need anyone Other than potentially trace smack Which should be a linebacker's name To have an impact immediately If guys have an impact rate If the dentist comes in and has five sacks Awesome But they don't necessarily because of their quality On each side of the ball starting lineups with the exception of our doubts about the offensive line That has been a recurring theme over the last several months on this program Fair, fair So things are good when you're talking about Oh, who's going to be the backup quarterback And now who's going to be the backup running back And again, Pete already covered you during your playing career He did He's got kind of an old school curmudgeonly approach

And basically what he said to Goody was a statement not a question You can't really have Marshall and Lloyd as your backup running back can you Given his injury history That sounds like a question Can you? Is a question Well, I mean, I think he added the can you when he realized it wasn't actually a question It was more of a statement How would it go? How would it go over if Goody said back to him, is there a question in there? How would that go over in that big new You don't think we laugh You don't trust Marshall Lloyd to stay healthy, right? Go ahead That would be a better way Jesse, you have the clip go ahead Only six picks there were things that you couldn't get done too What are you going to do back up running back? I mean, you can't count on Lloyd because of the injury history can you know I mean, I think it's one of those things I mean, certainly we can count on his talent We just got to get him out there and get him out there and healthy

If he's healthy, we know he can help us Certainly bringing Chris Brooks back that was a big part of that We have a lot of faith in him to be able to do things we do So like I said, I feel very good about that group You know, we'll see as it goes if we feel we need to add to it we will But right now I don't really think we need to I like Chris Brooks too I like him as a full back I like him as a third down guy picking up blitzes I like him as a special teams guy Do I like him getting 28 carries in a game if Josh Jacobs is injured? I'm not sure I do But again, this is where they are I mean, he flat out says there and that answer to Pete That I don't think we need to add to the running back room So they've got Josh Jacobs younger brother in for a tryout And they signed one running back in their undrafted class Is this something that we are not paying close enough attention to? Should this be a concern especially given what Josh Jacobs dealt with health wise last season? I'm not concerned I think I was hoping that this was one of those positions

That especially if there was somebody with home run hitting ability As we talked about with you in Gabe yesterday It's just something that could have added another layer to this offense But you can find running backs as undrafted free agents There's going to be guys that are going to be released That other teams have that maybe they have a stable of backs that maybe people One of the obviously a mind green is one of the all-time greats Ryan Grant was had for literally almost nothing when we traded for him with the giants That's more along the lines of what I think is going to happen I don't think Chris Brooks is going to be that guy I think he can be a really solid steady running back But I do want a home run header and it does need to be March on light They obviously believe and he is showing again incredibly small sample size That he can be a difference

And he can make some big splash plays I can't count on him though Goody can't either I just don't think that and that I think was the crux of Pete's point So am I overly concerned? I'm not because Josh Jacobs has shown that he can be a bell cow and he can do that And maybe that is just not where this offense is until you find that guy This is going to be a physical run duo run the football You know if we can get five yards of carry which has not been the case for a while And then we're going to be explosive as blank in the past game That's where this team is It would be awesome to have an explosive run game as well That's not where they're at as we sit here in late April I asked you this yesterday I brought up Mike Niel's name The idea of a guy who's injured and injured and injured and then finally makes an impact

He did make an impact in 2010, right? I'm curious if you were Goody or if Goody called the show And so do you think I'm crazy for thinking that Marshawn Lloyd can help us this year? What would you tell him? I would say you're not crazy to think that but you're better not bank on it I wouldn't count on that I wouldn't like there's always risk of injury but when someone has been as injured as he has been It's really difficult to really count on any production from him If you are you're probably going to be disappointed and if you get some boy you're going to be pleasantly surprised That's how I would approach that I would wholeheartedly agree Alright so I want to get to something else that Matt LaFlure said Because whether it's running back or elsewhere I do wonder if there are going to be other instances of players that once the draft is over

There's usually a small it's not a huge wave But it's kind of a ripple of teams make picks and then guys get released that maybe can help other teams I'd be curious and that's kind of the market that Matt LaFlure was talking about We'll hear from him coming up after you hear from me and you tune in to the Bucks Plus Audio Network To check out the new season of Behind the Bucks Been telling you about it for a while It's Bucks versus the World Season 6 of the Bucks Behind the Bucks on the Bucks Plus Audio Network presented by Gallagher You're trusted insurance broker and HR and benefits consultant again The Bucks versus the World Narrated by Charlie Barrett's available now And you can find it on Bucks.com slash Plus The Bucks app, the ESPN Wisconsin app and wherever you get your podcast Behind the Bucks presented by Gallagher Where will the entire straight ahead stick around Taylor Jenkins is in is the Bucks head coach

So you're bringing in a guy who knows how to develop and build a culture Yannis may not stay like this may not be the thing that's going to keep Yannis here And that is okay This is Madison's home of the Bucks 100.5 ESPN We'll the attached rules on So we're discussing backups Life's pretty good Don't you agree? That's what we're focusing on I mean from our end I like a little more drama Rites for them Life is pretty good I don't know You ask a question as far as like do I think that Talking about the backups means that we're all set And I don't think so

I don't feel good about the corner back room And I still don't feel great about the offensive line I mean fun name Jagger what's his last name? Jagger bomb Jagger Jagger Burton Sounds like an old actor He almost had it though Sounds like an old actor that would be on Magnum PI Jagger Burton Did he have a partner? Magnum PI Yeah T.C. and then the other guy Well I think Jagger Burton could have been his partner Magnum PI What would he be a villain or a partner? Yeah it sounds like a little villainous nickname Yeah it's a little villain like John Wesley The villainous John Wesley sure Do we feel better about the old line? Like I think we all feel the same way Rick it was Rick and T.C. and then of course Higgins Who was the Butler guy I think we still feel the same about it all hangs on Jordan Morgan

You can be in good right? I don't know I think it hangs on Aaron Banks Be in the guy that we've paid him to be Sean Ryan's going to be in it That to me Yeah Jordan Morgan's huge no question But you know when you say Just when you said that coming back from break Pretty good huh? They were just worried about that Who's got that good with us? No I don't agree with that Okay Good I'm glad you don't Good I'm glad you don't agree What makes you feel it? So you feel that way Well because I feel like they at least know who their starters are on the line Now we need to find out how good they are Like Jordan Morgan's a first round pick If he stinks then we have some serious questions about Goody's evaluation Well it's one player but did this draft Give you the sense of urgency that Goody has been asking for Well it's hard to do that with only six picks It's that's his decision to only have six picks

Well he tri No sixes This draft is six picks none the richer You how long have you been Did I have no answer now? No that was fresh That was pretty good That was pretty good Look so let's go across the offensive line Can you answer my question? Yes I will And I'm going across the offensive line Because you said that it's only one player But it's actually more than that Because Jordan Morgan is now your left tackle A first round pick If Goody was wrong about him and he's not any good they're in trouble Left guard is a guy that you reconfigured the rest of your offensive line for And now have given 43 million dollars in a year's time to him So where he... Aaron Banks has to play like a guy that got paid 43 million dollars in 12 months At center you did something that I don't know if you were going to do it mid season And resign Sean Ryan

You know they weren't going to it mid season Because you didn't have any other options Because it appears that you don't think even though now you're saying nice things about him You don't think that Jacob Monk could have come in and been a starter in year three Right? Coming off of an injury late in the year or whatever else You've got... You've got... You've got Anthony Belton Yes, Jaggerbaum could be the center You've got... But you paid... You paid a three year contract to your new center And maybe Sean Ryan can move the right guard again after he got paid to be the center But you also have a rookie that how good do we think... Belton is Do you think he's good? Like... Again, played well for a rookie ish But we don't know how good he is And then the guy that we believe is your best offensive lineman is coming off a ruptured patellar tendon So no, your concern is well placed

The idea that there's urgency off of the six player draft? No, of course not I got to ask... Next time you see Zach Towne There was a lady who was a minister She did laying out hands No, that we talked to down at Talladega She knew that we were packers And she is somehow related to Zach Towne Very much Not to be confused with Darian Kinnard who's related to Dalai Park No, it's not We did not see Dalai I would have loved to have seen Dalai But we didn't, so I'll have to ask Next time we get in touch with Zach Towne we'll have to have that conversation Because I'd like to hear more about that Okay, she's a minister Yes Pentecostal... Pentecostal... We were discussing As we were all kind of sitting around And she wanted a photo with... I think it was with some of us There was a crash On the bat and turned three Back in Talladega It's a tough turn She kind of... We ended up holding hands and we were kind of praying For the safety of all the judges

Wait a minute I know you're a good Catholic But so there was a crash And she... At her urging... She did the... You guys all held hands? No, I was right now She was very... She loved us She was very like... Well who wouldn't? She was very... Like... We'll see? No, very close And she just kind of grabbed... I don't know who was standing next to me But we both kind of... Because that's... You know, she's not a Catholic She's a minister... She just has a lot of faith And I think she led the prayer For before... To all the race... The race car drivers... Prior And so that was... I thought a really nice moment that you just tried to... Blast from eyes a little bit I met Blast... No, it was a little blast for me So you're telling me... So you're telling me... I felt like... Oh you're holding... You act like I'm Rossini and Rabel with her Which was not the case, this is the first stop No, that's not it at all There wasn't no blast for me in Jason's state And that was... There might have been a little blast for me It was not Rossini and Rabel

My point was... I don't think the Catholics Hold hands in church where they pray Maybe you should go to church if you don't Because you do The Lutherans don't We don't hold each other safe Where you're acting like you're an expert at Catholicism And that wasn't the case So you're holding hands The last time you went to church And you guys said the Lord's Prayer Y'all held hands with the Lord Yes we did The whole role No, I do with my family So do you hold hands with the Lord? I'm not getting an argument with Catholicism about you That's crazy town Anyways, I don't even know where do we get to on this If she led the prayer for the entire race That makes a lot more sense She was the crash The drivers have a driver's only meeting where they go over Like the different rules of the track There's a double yellow line You can't go under the double yellow If you go under the double yellow You're going to get a penalty You can't do the dead You can't pray for you You have a certain speed coming in And Denny Hamman Sped through the deal And he ended up losing a lap And he ended up not even being a relevant and a race

By the way, they do this new thing And back in the old days Pre-Dale Or when Dale was still around That they just ran 300 laps And if you fell behind tough blank Now they do these cycles And it's super exciting Till there's crashes And then it's a really good time They need to do And I'm going to fix NASA Oh my god Oh god Yeah, I'm fixing NASA Of course you are Praise the Lord! He's here to fix NASA Why are you so blasphemy? I don't understand When you, they need to do Ten lap races Ten of them And with Tony Stewart No, and Gamble Art Because the most exciting Like winning a phase You get like these points For the NASCAR Cup championship Whatever they call it They need to do more of it So have these high pressure shootout races So people are jockeying And because the excitement People get up and they whip their hat around And guys 30 days with no t-shirts That is what NASCAR needs to do

Make it more March-Madnessy And they can do that every race Because there's downtime They take breaks now They give them a beat They could do like eight car pods Like bracket style tops To advance I think that's a great Yeah I think that's a different way That they could do it And then it'd be less Rub around the road Like yeah, I think that's a smart move So that could do that Especially at Talladega The chaplain by the way Probably the term you're looking for For your lady She was a minister The cha But she was a minister The person that leads the Group in prayer I think they call that the chaplain at the race I think a lie to you guys We all have our own religious beliefs Which we respect We should She was a minister She wasn't a chaplain Well, she's somehow related to Zach time That's the other part of this thing I know Because she mentions Zach time Numerous times And she took a shot at her

And I don't want to put her business on the street I think you're a little late for that She took a shot at her daughter What? She took a Yeah, because she has a nephew That is potentially going to be an NFL player in her opinion And he said He's very strong He sits and he lifts his mother And she said His mother Is a bigger gal Not big Linda ass She didn't go down big Linda road But she said she's over 200 pounds Which I thought But that's the road A shot out at your daughter So I don't know where to go with that again I thought it was interesting That's all I'm going to say Bobby Allison I'll say one thing though He's got He is an intriguing young man He lifts his mom Or he lifts his wife Who's the lady's daughter No, he is her niece Or he is her niece

He is her nephew Alabama man No, it's grandson Because it's her daughter's kid Which I believe it's grandson You guys know I struggle with second cousin removed That's always been a struggle, my husband It's her grandson Her daughter is a heavier set gal And she is so strong That he's lifting mom Which would be her daughter Does that make sense? Yes, understood Followed out But nobody even asked any questions She was just telling it And then we had to stop for a prayer Obviously when there was a big crash down I turned three And we all held hands And prayed for the safety of the driver And for I don't understand the fun things It's getting more and more blasphemous And I don't get that I'm still laughing at the niece Who's the nephew Who's being lifted over her head Out of her head I think it's more of like a bench press situation It was my guess

I don't think they're like sitting there and doing overhead lifts And not if she's a heavy set gal 200 pounds I don't think a lot of people are putting 200 pounds over their head Old Talladega Tammy That's Hard Rock Casino Rockford Boy, that's a cool place to go That's a great spot And if you did this NASCAR deal I don't know how much wealth to check How much NASCAR racing They have done at Hard Rock Casino Rockford But I knew of this It's a short drive And it's a premier entertainment destination Just off I-90 And Rockford Illinois Most generous And most frequent promotions of any casino in the Midwest And I think it's Thursday still April When's May 1st It is Your last Thursday coming is Thursday 10 to AM to 8 p.m. You're a chance to win a grand prize of $2,000 in free slot play You can earn 200 tier credits while playing At your favorite slot machine to activate The prospector's plunge tournament game And at the end of the tournament
