0:00Three time was constant sports writer of the year Jason Wilde joining us now is the green Bay Packers new head coach Matt LaFour on Wilde in Towsh Packers, Halla Famer Mark Towshure Matt LaFour Matt Nagy and Matt Patricia Who is the most famous non NFC North head coach not named Matt? No, I'm sorry Broadcasting live from the Everlight Solar Studio at ESPN Madison. Who is the most famous non NFC North head coach named Matt Matthew and Matt Ryan somebody else and celebrating 10 great years on ESPN Wisconsin. Can you can you repeat that question? Sorry, this is Wilde in Towsh presented by fellow Windows and doors of Wisconsin The 11 o'clock hour of Wilde in Towsh. Now you're beginning. I thought you were heading down to Pato. I wasn't gonna go to it. Get them noodles that you've been talking about for two, three years. Oh, that's Jesse at the noodle bar at the other place

1:24I want to go to Ruyi Asian Kitchen for their sushi and all that kind of stuff. So it's all good Either way, I didn't have you as a sushi guy. I love sushi. Do your kids? Yeah, Sydney does Maddie is not as big of a fan Are we still vegetarian there? Is that changed because I don't think you can eat raw fish if you're a vegetarian. Halla is Okay, Maddie is Sydney makes an exception for chicken tenders Then you can't say yours. You can't I mean I guess you can do whatever the hell you want but I don't think that's allowed. It's not But other than that's really the only meat sheets It's chicken tenders from a variety of places. She's quite the connoisseur. That's her go-to So I was you know what I'm vegetarian I am also going to I'm going to

2:25Except for Jones Dera. I mean Jones Dere bacon and sausage. So my understanding ham is good to it. It's great My understanding is that instead of hearing from Jonathan Ganon or more from Stennell you have been peeping The text I'm just curious because I'm sure in listen man I understand people can get frustrated and get irritated and I'm okay with it. I love you I want to have an honest conversation. I feel this way. This isn't me trolling or Being I want the brewers to win a championship in a big way I think it would be so frickin awesome like there's just a lot of great things about it And I just agrees with that you were yelling at us for not feeling the same way you feel sick of your polluted mindset That's what I'm sick of You sick of a lot of things. Well, that's great. You it's just a really it's just a really weird way to celebrate winning a fourth straight division title Which is a heck of an accomplice. There's also a best record in baseball Jesse

3:27Let me tell you something it's awesome and it's a long slog for these baseball players You know how many times by the time our season would and we'd win a north We'd take the hat we put on we move on our business right one not done So there's there's a part of that is in my DNA and I understand baseball is totally different By the way, I'm always for celebrating. I want to see these guys spritz and champagne and beers and I think it's fantastic I love when you was there. I thought it was some of the coolest stuff. I think last night That's as good as it gets for sports. It's it's fantastic But I just I have a hard time getting my head wrapped around We're not the plucky little underdog anymore. We're We have to just embrace the fact we're really blank and good and I don't think we should be sitting there saying Oh, I'll shock some of this. I just don't want that mentality and for you Jason I know it's not a fan so I whatever For you and for George and for a lot of the people on the talk and text line

4:28I understand where we're coming from but If you don't will something and really expect it when is it gonna happen? Oh, he said you're not gonna get what you don't ask for What do you say for a championship? Well, I don't think whether you ask for it or not will affect whether you're getting a change We always say we want to demand the more you demand typically are From your non-scientific non-chat GPT analysis of the text that have come in when you read them on the screen There's some mean ones to me. There's some guy that calls me a jerk all the time Let me tell you something I'm gonna lose a wink to sleep over you call me a jerk. I promise you Um, would more do would you say more people agree with you? I Jessie I felt like for a minute he was censoring it But I did get to scroll through I although the screen doesn't let me do this. Yeah, I scrolled through four Yeah, I don't like it give me a sign that I can screen. I'd like a touch screen ashton. Let's go No

5:28We've also the hot tea That's it. How fun would that be if you get me hot for you I'll say what for you. I will not be working in the office as much. I probably I would bet I just reading through it. I understand brewers fans. I think I have been Ah, what's the word I'm looking for it start not star strip But it's kind of the rug's been pulled whatever that word bamboozled. It's not bamboozled. It's not that's too strong hoodwinked We don't want our hearts broke and I get it Packer fans were we were fine having our hearts broke because it happens and In the Milwaukee Brewer's case I just think that we're under selling and not having the same high standards for them Because of the financials that we do for the Packers and I want that to stop and I've wanted it for two years And I just feel like we're darn good enough to win it doesn't mean we will just like we didn't win it in 2021 Which we were definitely good enough. We are the Packers of 2020

6:30Mind of 2021. We are it's it's it's at least for me It is and and I want to get to these texts so we can get to trivia. I would say this. I would like to see Robin Yount Standing at Amfam field for game seven of the World Series like I saw Ray Nitschke in 1996 January of 1997 Watching the Packers beat the Carolina Panthers and here's this I mean you guys Everybody calls me soft. I get it. I prefer kind, but that's fine But here's the ultimate tough guy And it's bitterly cold and the tears are freezing to his cheek But he's got tears streaming down his face Watching this moment of the Green Bay Packers 29 years Remove from their last Super Bowl Going back to the Super Bowl And that is what the Brewers are currently and they're like the text from Joe and McGwana go that's not on the screen anymore Is really good because the Dallas Cowboys in the 90s were the team those standing

7:34Between an up and coming Packers team that was getting closer and closer to doing what the Lombardi era guys did Which was make it to a Super Bowl Obviously they did far more and they have stood in their way now maybe Like the 1996 postseason someone else will take care of the Dodgers for you And then you can go to the World Series by beating somebody else Jason. What did every one of those teammates? What did all those players tell you they wanted the Cowboys? Yeah, I wanted to win one. We're not but I'm not that was really not the point of that statement What was that? I'm just I'm just pointing out that that's how that ended up playing out the Brewers knock knock knock at the door Just like the Packers did right? Maybe this is the year okay beat the Dodgers And then you feel differently about them. So why don't we feel that way? Because they haven't done it yet. You don't feel that way until you do it It's word was there anybody Jason you you covered you were maybe not covered you were still down at Wisconsin

8:36Do you think that the overarching thought of the fans were of the Cowboys beat us again It's because they spend too much money or was it we need to get it done So I what I would what I would say is is what that 1995 team did By going into San Francisco and beating of defending Super Bowl champion 49ers was that moment where you were like Okay This is really truly special because before they beat the Lions and playoff games But we beat it's complex here. What the purers have done we kind of beat the what happened exactly. Yep. So so the Dodgers If they beat the Dodgers let's and Jesse I don't know the playoff bracket Is there a way they could face the Dodgers before the NLCS or not? If the Braves end up knocking on Well, no, it's highly unlikely because the okay The Dodgers basically have to lose every game and the Podders would have to win every game for the Dodgers to not win their division for that to happen Maybe the two three seed right

9:38True, I guess yeah the Brewers were the two and the Dodgers were the three they could play in the NLDS correct So my point is is that Until you've done until that team did it I think we looked at 96 differently because of what they did to the 49ers on the road I just think that that and the Brewers don't have that moment right like the rest of it I guess beating the Cubs in five games Is kind of like that, but it's not quite like that like I again you tell me all I'm saying is I have no doubt that like you as a player The dudes in that clubhouse that were spritz in the champagne are like bring it on We can do this and I want our fans to feel the same way that's all right and we're not I think you what you have found during the 10 years of this successful run is that You having played in the NFL for 11 years you are wired very differently than us civilians and

10:38We're not we just don't think the same way like you You were and I'm always impressed let me be clear I am always impressed by professional athletes That sometimes arts at the point of in my opinion being delusional thinking they can win games that they have no business winning And every once in a while they do win those right is it delusional that's my point I'm I'm trying to explain the difference in your mentality I think every Brewers fan says bring it on we can take them after the experience of losing to them last year And knowing how miss has improved and how the offense has improved fans do believe that we can be this is like Notre Dame all over again This is nothing like Notre Dame fans believe we can be we finish foreign whatever last year like there's no you can't don't don't try and conflate Wisconsin going up to lamb find I'm just using the word. It's not an exact comparison We just did the comparison though

11:39You are really hard to argue Because I don't roll over no because every because then you take other parts of the The Yeah, that is I got a feeling usher George is gonna call me after it say you didn't enjoy today's show The Brewers can beat the Dodgers we all believe the Brewers can beat the Dodgers But if you're saying go to hard rock right now and put a wager on who's going to win that Realistically every Brewers fan because there is no proof of concept yet and knowing the challenge that the Dodgers Have presented every team in baseball in the last handful of years Everyone's gonna say the Dodgers are the smarter bet to win that series That's good that you said that Jesse because that would be my Towshoe always say Put your put your paycheck on it when these guys make predictions on television I do probably guarantees is what I said when they make sure when you look at the Brewers

12:40Do you feel so confident that you would put a meaningful amount of money on them to go to the world series? Yep Okay, great I don't think I don't think there's as many people that look at it that way like you do Okay, they're hopeful all right. I don't think they're willing to give up money You guys are miss I mean you guys are missing the point I'm not guaranteeing that they're gonna do it. Obviously the Dodgers are a hell of a team. We all know that The difference because we do so much packers and I know how our fans are I just want the same Energy and thought process. I don't want it to say we don't spend enough money so we can't do it That's the attitude I want ridden Because we proven that we can do it in the regular season. I know postseason is different But why is it different in the mentality We've been more successful than the Packers have been the last four years as Brewer fans or as Brewer's as an organization But we don't have it just doesn't correlate and I want to understand why

13:42That's all if this was one year or two years. I'd say yeah, I get it guys. You're right. This is four years This is not some blip Like we're damn good And I just don't understand why we can't just embrace that That doesn't mean we're gonna go win the World Series But we certainly should feel like and if we don't we should be gutted Like we are when the Packers get beat by the Bears That's all do you not remember how sad it was when The Dodgers swept them last year. Everybody was like oh, it's the Dodgers I'm sight that's what it felt like we all felt like when we got beat I think it was a game two or three Up there with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth the game one And he ducks out of the way of a pitch that would have hit him and would have tied the game And if he takes the hit on the shoulder or wherever it would have got him The entire series could have been different, but he ducks out of the way He ends up striking out the Dodgers win game one And they take off the rest of the series and Otani puts up a legendary performance the best

14:42The best playoff performance for an individual athlete of all time in game four And they ran away with the thing and it was depleting every game knowing that the brewers were close But they weren't there yet Well all I want to say is congratulations on another awesome season And I think that we should have the same expectations that we do with the Green Bit Packers And I don't think that's the case And that's what this show for me has been about So if usher George wants to be irritated about that that's fine That's where I'm at and if I did not construe that properly That's on me I think it's I think we're underselling How good this Milwaukee Brewer's team is And our expectations should be sky high because I guarantee in that club us it is And I don't feel like that's the case Thanks to everybody that submitted all their text messages on this subject Taoist tell us about UW credit unions so we can get ready for trivia Well for every state of life UW credit union is here forever you You probably serving Wisconsin for over 90 years are going to help you reach your financial goals

24:09But if it's not the show must go on it's time for woe nally on will the entouch There was one more clip from Adam Stenevich that i wanted to hear what both of you thought of From yesterday's press conference. Here's what he said About not freaking out after one game I'm not gonna Freak out or overreact or anything like that like this is the first game of a 17 game season So that's one thing we just got to make sure We keep improving we keep focusing on the things that we can control And that's the biggest thing is guys just got to make sure They're on a weekly basis on a daily basis just trying to improve a little bit at time And i think over the season that'll become big We like that messaging is that not urgent enough? What do we think? It sounds a lot like taush though because i think taush As ridiculous as our argument was about the dodgers and the brewers um I think taush is exactly right it perfect storm of the

25:11Environment and the scheme Made what was already a problematic offensive line Look completely inept and my miss identifying how you viewed it taush No, I think it is A very difficult spot that everybody's thrown in and that's why i thought that the Minnesota Vikings would beat us And they did and we could argue about what it was but the guys up front it was it was a tough day at the office And i would anticipate them Not having a day that bad again the rest of the season Whoa Ridiculous argument though. I don't I don't want to relitigate it was not ridiculous It was executed ridiculously by you guys All right one more from Jonathan Ganon here he is talking about how the defense played over the weekend in Minnesota Uh Pretty good, you know, I always think we can do everything better which obviously when you give up that many points

26:12We got to do a lot better But I thought that for the first game out there For that extended period of time for the guys that were out there rushing Did a pretty good job, you know, and there's a couple of the times that we showed where it was Where it was really good and where we can improve and then also that goes with that A couple third downs. I thought that were converted Um the back ends got to do a little bit better, you know, so it's it's kind of rushing cover with as it goes What do you think when he said that in that press conference yesterday Jason? I missed Jeff Halfley That was what I thought I believe that's what you thought I believe it too You know that glazing will be for a sweatshirt that he's wearing I don't care about the glazing of the sweatshirts. I care about the uh insight and the more extensive Explanations then we got a little bit we got to do a little bit better job in the back end I do think the defense played fine. I agree

27:15Um, especially no micah You know past rush wise. I think you hope for a little bit more, but that defense It three bunk calls that ended up making this thing look a lot worse than it was Was it as bad as your price picks results?
