Intro
Packers' Final Game Uncertainties
00:00:21
Speaker
Aloha and welcome back to our final opponent preview for the regular season, the 2025 regular season. This is going to be a funky episode because the Packers have not practiced. We don't know who's going to practice at this point.
00:00:34
Speaker
So this is going to be the speculation espectacular, as one would say, just because...
00:00:43
Speaker
The Packers can't do anything about their playoff seeding. who knows who's gonna Who knows who will be medically cleared for this game? And byproduct of that, who is going to be allowed to play in this game because of the other guys who are medically not cleared to play in this
Player Participation Speculation
00:01:01
Speaker
game? So we are going to shoot the breeze tonight, Joe and I. Joe's got a new dog.
00:01:09
Speaker
i've got uh what's it called we're we're just gonna speculate abound here and we'll just see where the cards fall and honestly we i don't think we even necessarily need to do an over under today we can just kind of put down our thoughts on who is and isn't playing and that'll be our over under because it's gonna be really hard to figure out over unders when we don't even know who's gonna suit up for this game
00:01:38
Speaker
Right. Yeah. no clue. we can guesstimate on stuff. I even was looking to see if the Packers had something on their website and they don't for week 18, they don't even have a guesstimation. So I'm looking at the week 17 reports and I'm going to base my stuff off that.
00:01:59
Speaker
I know we've had kind of conversations, uh, you know, offline and all that about how I think certain players do need to play in this last game, even if it's just for a series or two.
00:02:15
Speaker
And sorry, Mike's given me some weird hand gestures. I just want to make sure everything's fine. I'm just checking it if the mute button on my headset works like it's supposed to okay
Should Jordan Love Play?
00:02:26
Speaker
continue. But,
00:02:28
Speaker
You know, like I know the big one and Monty and I kind of went ahead of back and forth on Twitter over it is Jordan love and the big thing is as people say he needs to sit well, I understand that and there's a risk with the final game of every season, especially going into the wild card playoffs, but he's not played for two weeks now.
00:02:54
Speaker
and I would rather him not have to knock off the rust in a playoff game. Let him at least get a series or two in the regular season finale and, and went into the playoffs a little bit prepared and no practice doesn't count for that.
00:03:20
Speaker
yeah Live action is where you're going to get your results.
00:03:24
Speaker
Yeah, i agree. Like, it's such a it's such a touch and go thing because, yeah, I definitely agree with you. We've seen it. You know, that's one of the reasons the Packers, you know, theoretically, they start slowly at the beginning of the season is because their key guys don't play in the preseason. I know they wanted Jordan to play more than he had in the previous couple preseasons.
00:03:46
Speaker
Who knows what that realistically means? He did play a decent bunch in the first preseason game when he broke his left thumb. But so I do think they were truthful when they said he would play more. Probably he would have played like the first half of every preseason game kind of thing.
00:04:05
Speaker
And at the same time, it's like, It's different because it's the regular season, you know, because in previous season, you're playing against like not the other team's full starting lineup. You're playing against half backups, almost all backups, depending on what the opponent decides to
Strategic Player Readiness
00:04:23
Speaker
do. Whereas this week, the you the the flip side of the coin from what Joe is saying is like, you're playing the Vikings who have nothing to play for except to, and and while they can't knock the Packers out of the playoffs,
00:04:39
Speaker
if they bloody our nose any more than it is, i e ding up Love again, you know potentially make him susceptible to a second concussion within a month, that just really, really puts whatever...
00:04:56
Speaker
you i I don't know how realistic a deep playoff run is at this point because of the in you know the fact that you don't have Micah, the inconsistencies on both sides of the ball, all that kind of shit.
00:05:08
Speaker
But at the same time, I do think they should beat whoever they play the first week in the wild cards because whether it's the Bears, whether it's they were the better team against the Bears with their backup quarterback for 60% of the game until they just all decided to collectively shit the bed in the final five minutes.
00:05:27
Speaker
And then... I think that's the odds-on favorite for who the Packers will play in in the the first round of the playoffs, unless the Lion – and that's the thing is that there's all these other things, but the Packers won't know – Unless even if they win or no, it doesn't matter what happens in their game.
00:05:47
Speaker
They won't know because forget if the Lions and the Vikings are playing after us. I think they are the Lions and the the Bears are playing after us. I'm pretty sure they are. So it's kind of like on one hand or not on one hand. Really, it is the risk reward is crazy.
00:06:05
Speaker
How important is it to the Packers to have Jordan in rhythm when you have nothing to gain other than him getting in rhythm, but you have, you know, as recently as last week 18, Jordan screwed up his shoulder a little bit, kind of, you know, he had like a stinger but basically and couldn't finish that week 18 game in 2024.
00:06:29
Speaker
And then on top of that, we don't know who of the receivers is going to play. We don't know if Zach Tom is going to be cleared to play. He's another one, though. And we talked about it a little on the Week 17 review where Zach is in a similar situation as Jordan where it's like you don't want him playing – cold coming in cold against a playoff game in a playoff game without having played also in a month and it's like okay like yeah like you you've got these two of your your two basically best players on offense two best most important however you want to weigh that and they haven't played in a month and it's like how do you reconcile that how do you how do you weigh that out
00:07:15
Speaker
Joe and I don't get paid the big bucks to make those decisions.
Resting Key Players
00:07:18
Speaker
you but I don't even know if fascinating is the right word to put with it, but that's the like only suspense unknown that goes into this game because, we said, there is nothing for the Packers to gain They're not going to knock the Vikings out of the playoffs. They are literally the last team in on the NFC.
00:07:41
Speaker
And yeah, i like I don't want to say I'm indifferent to this game, but there's nothing I'm really looking forward to. like the literal only thing would be is if like christian sits jaden sits because like joe brought up in the review show this team hasn't had a bye yes jaden sat for half the season yes christian sat for like a third of the season but neither of those guys those guys have played two months of consecutive football well jade in about a month christian about two months consecutive football
00:08:16
Speaker
And so it's like, do you give those guys a rest? Just, you know, we know what happened to Christian in week 18 last year. And then so that leaves the only thing you're really looking forward to is like, does Matthew Golden just get fed targets? And are they just like, fuck it, we're gonna get the kid his first touchdown. And I know some people be like, oh, it wouldn't matter. It does matter. Like, it it it really does matter for all parties involved because from the... It just does matter to a to a player to have those good stats going into an off season. And we've both talked about how Matt Golden has produced all season.
00:08:57
Speaker
He hasn't scored a touchdown, but that's not necessarily his fault. And then on the other side of it, the other side of it, which is the side that I find more important is you, you know, you're probably sitting Dobbs, wa some combination of Dobbs, Watson, and Reed.
00:09:15
Speaker
So Golden elevates to your wide receiver one or two, and it's like, get him and Jordan on the same page kind of thing and that get in that rhythm where it's like, all right, how often can you look for this
Maintaining Player Rhythm
00:09:25
Speaker
guy? Because the hesitation I have with Jordan playing, especially if the O-line is shorthanded, is the Vikings front seven, Flores' blitz packages, all that kind of stuff.
00:09:37
Speaker
But then the other side of it is like their DBs aren't really special and If you can get traction between Love and Golden, that's that's something good for both potentially this postseason and also moving into next season when Dobbs is almost certainly gone.
00:09:59
Speaker
Malik is already gone. Melton is probably gone. And... You need Golden and to a lesser extent Savion to step into bigger roles because you don't know out of Watson, Reed, and Wicks who is going to be back after that. so Yeah, like there is a lot to potentially gain from that end of it, but we'll see what happens because they would be very well within the rights to just say, fuck it. It's not worth risking Jordan. And if Watson, Reed, Dobbs are all sitting, Tom doesn't play, why are we going to? And and if they go that route, then I won't i won't necessarily say I'll like it, but I won't complain at all, if that makes sense.
00:10:47
Speaker
No, I get it. And I get everybody else's opinion on it, but I just, I keep going back to this team always seems to come flat out of a buy and this would just be a buy for them then, you know, and we can't have that. not if you want to be a legit contender and like i said and Like I said, with the Monty thing, well, are you going to be suffice if he just goes out there and plays three plays? Yeah, because that means he's seen live action for the first time in two weeks.
00:11:21
Speaker
And i just i get the aspect of injuries and stuff like that, but
00:11:29
Speaker
i want to see a prolonged run in the playoffs. I don't want to see another one and done. And especially if it is against the bears, I would love to knock the bears out of the playoffs.
00:11:43
Speaker
And
Playoff Readiness Debate
00:11:43
Speaker
you're not going to do that if your quarterback is trying to shake off the rust for two quarters, the first two quarters of the game, you know? So I, I, I get it and i understand everybody's reasoning behind it.
00:11:57
Speaker
And, you know, you mentioned Zach, Tom, I kind of feel the same way about him also, but Then you get down to, okay, well, who do you sit and who do you don't sit or who don't you sit? And you were listing off like Dobbs and Watson. And well, then when you do that, who's going play receiver? Right. And that's the thing is like, you can only call two guys up from the practice squad. I know they're going to have like three roster spots because a guy's going on IR, but it's like, you're not going to put two more wide receivers on the active roster kind of thing. And you're not going to, Well, no, they don't have any more roster spots at the moment, do they? Because they claimed Jonathan Ford today and then they signed two of the DBs off the practice squad. Oh, that's right. I totally forgot. But then there. And so so that takes care of that. But then it's like, okay, do you elevate like if you sit those three receivers, do you elevate like Keeney James and Nayor or something like that? But but like you're limited. And that was kind of the other point that we talked about a little bit on Sunday night is
00:13:01
Speaker
What's it called? this isn't like I know a lot of people are like treated like the preseason, but the problem is you don't have the 90-man roster that you do in the preseason where you can just sit all your starters and you still have 40 guys to play. You don't have that at this point. now you You sit 13 guys. It's like, oh, so you're down to 35 players that can play in the game kind of thing. and Because that was one thing that Monty kept throwing back. Well, well, then do you just leave Edron and and Quay out there because of this? It's like that's not the point. You know, i mean, there's people that can play that spot if Quay and or Edron sit.
00:13:47
Speaker
You know, you've got McDuffie, you've got Tyron. Is Juman Johnson still on the active of roster or was he... I can't remember who is where that law on the depth chart anymore.
00:14:00
Speaker
Well, I know they had, they used his, uh, elevation. Yeah. I just don't remember if, uh, real quick search. No, he is not on the active roster. Okay. So I get that one. I mean, if they decide that,
00:14:19
Speaker
they want to do a call-up on that. But like you pointed out, there's only two call-ups that you can do from the practice squad. And even if you do those call-ups, then you have to decide, okay, well, who are they going to play over? And it it's a big mess. Yeah. Yeah. Like...
00:14:36
Speaker
I get it, but then it's like, where do you draw the line with who sits and who plays this kind of thing? you You just can't student body write all your starters off the field in in a regular season game. That's just not how it works. like you You get to sit like five players, basically. you You can fill your inactive list, but even that gets weird because then it's like, you only have so many players at certain positions, so it's like,
00:15:04
Speaker
how do you How do you do? They're heavy at D line. They're heavy at O line, sort of. they're heavy They're technically heavy at receiver. But if you sit three of them, then you're not heavy at receiver and you're using both your calls. So yeah.
00:15:18
Speaker
I mean, if I got to look at the roster, this is what I would do. There are a handful of guys that I know for sure that I would probably say just to not risk it.
00:15:30
Speaker
So the first one is Josh Jacobs. He's already ailing, you know, whatever set him. We've got a decent couple backups with Emmanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks. Let them ride the game. Plus, you've got the options with, you know, whatever.
00:15:47
Speaker
Sit Christian if Christian doesn't want to play. That's fine. Because, he you know, we... He's earned it. He's truly earned it. Yeah. Yeah. let's see, probably McKinney. I would let McKinney sit.
00:16:02
Speaker
Yeah. We've got, again, nursing some, and he's been nursing some ding-ups the whole season kind of thing too. So it's like, get him off his feet. The other one that I just literally thought of is like, okay, if you sit Jordan, you're using one of your practice squad call-ups on two. Clayton.
00:16:19
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. So it's like, so you're down to one spot. So yeah, like, so what is that that's three of them that i've come up with i would sit either i you know i would probably sit no because i think of yeah i would probably sit lucas uh i i mean yeah he just coming back from an injury but here's my reasoning behind it they they
00:16:50
Speaker
reactivated all Colin Oliver and and Britain Cox and those guys are going to need some playing time before and Baron Sorrell are going to need some playing time before the playoff game because you know is Colin going to live up to his new nickname of baby Micah or is he going to be a little rough around the edges until whatever because you know this will be his first action in the NFL period He didn't even get a preseason.
00:17:22
Speaker
So i would say i know people would hate me on this, but one of either Lucas or Rashawn need to sit. Yeah. I don't know if Rashawn just needs to sit to get his mind right or whatever, which is weird because I got that right there, but looking watching me over my shoulder. But
00:17:43
Speaker
but Don't want to risk one of those two with the lack of pass rush we've been having as, I mean, they've, they've been getting some pressure, but it hasn't been a full on attack. So I would sit one of those two guys. And then I don't know if there's any buddy on the offensive line that I would just say, sit their ass down because they haven't even been playing that great.
00:18:08
Speaker
Yeah. Maybe just for the hell of it Sean Ryan just so they could throw Jacob Monk in there to see if he's going to do anything. I think it's one of those where he starts the game but doesn't play more than like a quarter kind of thing or something like that. And then, yeah, yeah just because you see that you you can only you could only elevate one offensive lineman. They're not rolling into a game with eight less than eight kind of thing. And then like you're and that's like, are you down Tom, whether he's cleared or not cleared kind of thing? So it's like, yeah, you you're already your options are already limited and stuff.
00:18:48
Speaker
And
00:18:52
Speaker
I want to see Monk be able to take some meaningful snaps. Yeah, I agree. I totally agree. That's going to give you an idea on if you're going to be able to roll with him at all next season.
00:19:04
Speaker
Yep. Told and you. So I think that's where I'm sitting on guys who need to sit. Otherwise, play them all. They they especially on defense, they have not earned the right to not play in a game. Yeah.
00:19:18
Speaker
Especially after last week and the mess that they they put themselves into. I will say this. I am gaining even more and more respect to Javon Bullard.
00:19:31
Speaker
because did you were you able to catch his locker room presser yeah he he called everybody out he called himself out and in so many words he called everybody out but you know he pretty much said what everybody every fan has is is on their mind right now and I allot him for that especially being only a second year player he stepped up and said that stuff so you know if you if you guys haven't heard it yet, then go out. I would suggest go spending three, four minutes to go listen to what he had to say. Cause he was pretty dead on after that.
00:20:09
Speaker
Yep. I totally agree with you. Like just, yeah, you, you just can't come out like that when you already know you're down your, you're down your quarterback kind of thing. And then you just can't have the defense just shit the bed like that. But yeah,
00:20:26
Speaker
Like I said, they've just got to find something at this point. I don't know what it necessarily is, but have something that you're confident about going into the
Potential Playoff Strategies
00:20:35
Speaker
playoffs. Like you don't have your quarterback. You haven't had your quarterback the last couple of weeks. Your defense just got the shit kicked out of it the last 65 minutes of game time. Like put some so good stuff on tape to feel decent about whether it's, you know,
00:20:54
Speaker
And, you know, some people will say, like, you know, if, like, Rashawn plays or Lucas plays and they get, like, a three-sack game, it's like, oh, like, what use is it? of Like, sometimes guys just need to see good shit on... You know, we talked about it with Tucker as a rookie. is It's like, throw the guy a bone every once in a while so that...
00:21:12
Speaker
he's not just seeing himself losing a block every play kind of thing like let him see like oh yeah you turn that two yard catch into into a 10-yard gain kind of thing with like rashaun and lucas see you can get sack a sack or sacks in a game kind of and like neither you know lucas has definitely played better like better on a snap to snap basis than rashaun has i'm not gonna uh mince words or anything like that but like The pass rush overall, the past three games, four games really, you know they're playing quarterbacks who are run threats. And it's like you weren't going to just get to tee off on any of these guys. And I i know that as things set right now, they're going to play the Bears again and they're going to play Caleb again. but it's like
00:22:01
Speaker
It would be nice to just see them go against a more immobile quarterback and be able to tee off on the pocket again, like they did against the Vikings back before Thanksgiving.
00:22:12
Speaker
Just, you know, I know I'm not really a believer in, like gay like, multiple game momentum, but I do think there is something to, like, guys putting good film multiple, you know, at least a game after having a few down weeks or a bad stretch because it's, like, there is that mental hurdle of, like,
00:22:34
Speaker
Yeah, I still can do stuff, like good stuff on the field. This whole team needs that. like And like you said, that's where I do agree that I don't care if it's three plays or 30 plays.
00:22:47
Speaker
I do want to see Jordan play again in the regular season where... like i like and Like, I just listened about why this game doesn't matter. But even more so, I want to see him get, like you said, get to knock some rust off in a game that has no... What's it called? No... no holds on it. Like, there you know, there's no, there's no stress or there's not no stress, but there's nothing at stake.
00:23:17
Speaker
Yeah. and So it's like, okay, just go and let it rip a few times. And like, like you said, you don't want it to be where, The first time he's seeing a pass rush is it's like, oh, and then it's like, oh, and Zach wasn't ready for that first pass play too kind of thing and stuff. So, yeah. That's basically where I'm at, you know. It's, again, you know, how many times has this team fallen flat after a bye week?
00:23:45
Speaker
And if you treat this like a bye week, then you're going to be going into the first playoff game as a bye, coming off a bye week. and like i said earlier, this team so far has not earned the right to sit most of their players.
00:24:05
Speaker
Yep. So we, we won't continue to beat the dead horse on that one. Like they're, they've got a lot of things to figure out over the next, you know, what is it?
00:24:17
Speaker
10 days or whatever it is by the time you're listening to this episode. But they don't have time to like They don't have time to wait to figure things out. they've got and like We kind of pointed this out.
00:24:31
Speaker
Because of the losses on defense, they're at the point where LaFleur has to put his best game plan together to score 30 points. And I know some people are like, well, if they face the Eagles or they're...
00:24:44
Speaker
But that has to be the goal. It might be a pie in the sky goal, but this whole do enough on both sides of the ball to control the pace, you're not going to do shit in the playoffs if that's your mindset going in. you're not You don't have the best trump cards on either side of the field. The only trump card you have is Jordan going nuclear at this point.
00:25:05
Speaker
and just putting 40 on another team. And like I said, you can't expect to score 30 plus every game of the playoffs, but you can make that your goal.
00:25:16
Speaker
Like it can't be an expectation, but you just draw your best shit up to make that your, that that has to be the target you're aiming for. And if you shoot, you you take your best shots, you unload the clip and you just don't get there. So be it.
00:25:31
Speaker
But yeah, This team cannot be going, we're going to ice down Jacob so that hopefully we can control the tempo of the game. The other teams in the playoffs are probably better at you playing that game. You have to just come out and throw haymakers.
00:25:46
Speaker
And if they connect, you're probably moving on to the next round. And if you don't, hey, you have nothing to complain. I won't complain about, oh, they just couldn't make the plays they if they try to.
00:25:59
Speaker
Just don't. leave it to chance by trying to play this slow, bleed-it-out game that they have always... Because it's bitten them in the ass every opportunity it could, starting with the Cleveland game, all the way through the then the the Chicago... The last Chicago game. So, like...
00:26:20
Speaker
Don't fuck around. You've already found out. you've You've fucked around so much and you've found out multiple times this season. You can't win. You're not. And I'm going to just say you can't win that way anymore because you're either out Kraft, you're out in Parsons,
00:26:38
Speaker
Rashawn is a lost soul right now. Jacobs is walking wounded. like you have too many things that are working against you that you can't count on any of those things turning around at this point.
00:26:52
Speaker
For sure. So I do like them adding Jonathan Ford. I know he's not going to give you a ton, but he should at least give you a little bit in the run-stopping game.
00:27:06
Speaker
maybe a little bit more than what they've had already. oh I was kind of a little bit high on him when he came to the Packers in the draft. And I just, I, you know, we've had conversations where I just couldn't understand why they didn't use him. And yeah, I don't know, but what are your thoughts on them bringing in,
00:27:35
Speaker
oh Oh, I just blanked on his name. Diggs, the guy that was just released by the Cowboys. Do you think it would be a...
00:27:46
Speaker
I'm all for it because they just need bodies. Yeah. I'd be for it if they could somehow get him to agree to sign like a two base what would you amount to a two-year deal.
00:27:57
Speaker
I know it's only for like one game. Just because I don't see how he could possibly be in any sort of physical condition to give them anything. this If he couldn't he just couldn't consistently couldn't get on the field for Dallas, I don't see how he's just going to turn around and be healthy to play well for them. this and me Because he's taken some of Micah's juice. Yeah.
00:28:19
Speaker
And who knows, maybe he it is one of those. He does just have three to four games in him kind of thing. And, you know, Dallas was trying to play the long game. We have him signed to this long term contract kind of thing.
00:28:32
Speaker
And maybe Green Bay is like, how many games you got in you? Fuck it. Like, you know, so like they're at the point where and, you know, it's. not so much that we changed our opinion on what Asante Samuel Jr. is. It's just that they have no other, their, their options are basic. And like I said, when it came to like the trade deadline or like who it they could get, the options were a guy with a broken, a surgically repaired neck or a, or a, so an ancient Stefan Gilmore at the time where the street free agent options.
00:29:10
Speaker
And then, This is where Diggs falls in, where it's like, I don't trust that he'd be healthy to play at any point these playoffs. But like you said, screw it. Why not at this point? like that That's where I fall on the on the barometer as well. So like it's not going to cost them anything. you know It's going to cost them a prorated vet minimum deal, which is nothing at this point.
00:29:35
Speaker
And it totally is a, why the fuck not? my My thing is, is would you rather have the chance that dig steps in and can do something?
00:29:47
Speaker
Or would you rather have one of your UDF is that you just signed off of the practice wide chase around, you know, the NFL caliber receivers? You know, do do we want to look Darius Gunther back out there chasing a Julio Jones? Or do you want to take a chance that Diggs is going to come in and actually maybe provide something? And I know that both of us have at different times, you know, we've noted how like, you know, stats and production have overrated him in terms of how good of a coverage corner he really is. But like...
00:30:20
Speaker
Fuck it. If he comes in and catches an interception or two in the playoffs, that's found money. like That's more than any of the Packers did. Exactly. So, like, at this point, why not?
00:30:33
Speaker
Like, that's my attitude is just why the fuck not? But other than that, you got anything else on your plate for this one? Like, like I said, it's hard for us to do over-unders because we have no clue who the fuck is going to play at this point.
00:30:48
Speaker
And like I said, the the team is playing to find things out about itself. Like, like I know that like people are like, what does that even mean? But it's like it's like, can you just get the ball rolling literally and figuratively so that, like you said, you're not cold going into the playoffs?
00:31:08
Speaker
So we'll see. Who really knows at this point? Right. No, I don't have much more else for it. I just, yeah. I mean, we've pretty much said it all that, uh,
00:31:21
Speaker
I do have to say that, you know, reiterate what you said earlier about LeFleur needing to reach into the bag and really call a game and not just half ass it.
00:31:34
Speaker
And and same with Halfley. You know, i know the the Vikings are definitely going to be without JJ. Not that it's going to make much of a difference, but you know what is who is it that they've got over there? Is it still that Bosmer or Brosmer or whatever? Yeah, Brosmer.
00:31:55
Speaker
And he's not shown a ton They beat the Lions last week because the Lions couldn't stop turning the fucking ball over. and There was a point where he had like completed 10 passes for like 60 yards or something. like or No, it was like 10 passes for like 30 yards or something like that. so I don't even think it was that because ended up with like only a net seven yards or net 17 yards. Yeah, they were negative like net yards at halftime or some shit like that. So, yeah.
00:32:25
Speaker
Yeah, and so I'm not too worried, but if they don't, if the Packers just let but him have it, then, you know, he's going to, uh, he was nine for 16 for 51 yards.
00:32:43
Speaker
He was sacked seven times.
00:32:46
Speaker
So yeah. If you let that kid run all over you like a Tommy DeVito or Bailey Zappi, then you don't deserve a playoff spot.
00:33:00
Speaker
Yeah. So yeah. Who knows what they're going to show in this, in this game, because you know, they've played that, like I said, both sides of the ball, they played that like, Oh, let's control the tempo of the game. I don't know if half these going to really unveil anything in week 18, but it would be nice to see a little bit of something, but yeah, like I said, we won't keep continuing to beat the same horse at this point.
Facebook Giveaway Details
00:33:27
Speaker
You want to just go into our little giveaway session preview or anything else you wanted to talk about? No, we can go ahead and talk about it. i was going to pull up real quick the link and show it.
00:33:41
Speaker
If I can think how to do it. Share my screen. Or your screen, not mine. Uh, well, I was just going to show the link.
00:33:52
Speaker
This is riveting. I tell you,
00:33:57
Speaker
Oh, screw it. Just go to Facebook. so as we mentioned last, last episode, we are going to try to do a, what do you want to call it? A, uh,
00:34:12
Speaker
oh a drive to to get some more followers over on our Facebook so we can start doing live streams over there. has sent some good stuff. We got some good stuff from couple people.
00:34:27
Speaker
so I'm going to grab them out of the box and then if it's something Mike gave, he can describe it. So the first thing I got is I don't have good lighting. This eight by ten signed by david Dave Robinson, donated to us by John Delray of Clubhouse Sports.
00:34:48
Speaker
Mike's lucky so far. It's all been my shit. This signed by McManus and Malik Willis. There is no COA of it. if If that if you're a collector and you know what that is, because I got those in person.
00:35:05
Speaker
This is one of Mike's things. He's going to be able to tell you a little bit more about it. So those are Aloha Macs. So in short, just chocolate covered macadamia nuts. I believe they're all dark chocolate in the box that I sent over to to to Joe. So there are, depending on how Joe decides to break up the memorabilia, we'll split up the the the cases of Aloha Macs.
00:35:32
Speaker
o This is the stuff we were kind of talking about last time too. All right. Lee Hing Powder. So basically, yeah short the short on it is that is Hawaii-based candy Coke, cocaine. but you Don't snort it. This is our PSA right now. Don't snort it.
00:35:54
Speaker
It burns. Don't ask me why I know that.
00:35:59
Speaker
but So it is the it is a flavoring powder, pickled plum, and you can put it on, like, you go to Hawaii and they put it almost on anything. It's mixed into shaved ice flavors. It's put just straight on shaved ice. You can put it on ice cream. You can put it cakes.
00:36:17
Speaker
People put it on things like... like hot dogs and stuff. Whatever you want to, you know, if you taste it and you think you want to put it on something, you can put it on it and just say whoop-de-doo and have fun with it. That's, we're you know, the melting pot of the Pacific. We're all for experimentation. oop And we got this from Mike.
00:36:42
Speaker
And so one example, Sour Patch Kids, everyone's fit but these ones have the Li Hing powder on it. So it'll give it a sort of a an extra so extra tart sour kick, but also a sweetness to it. So it just adds a little bit different depth of flavor to the candy.
00:37:01
Speaker
I'm throwing this in there. This is actually from the factory that I had security guard at. This was given to us during their family day. it's It's a hay baler, and it's got the JDOTUM, or JDOW, which is John Deere Otoma Works.
00:37:22
Speaker
and they cut this out of one of the lasers it's a solid metal solid steel and it's very you can't see it on my camera right now but it's very intricate cuts and so that's one of my contributions from iowa
00:37:42
Speaker
i think i got one more thing in here and that is just rra so what's it rice crackers it's got like a soy sauce based uh flavoring on top of it it's dry like yeah and you can yeah they feel like crackers yeah uh you can eat it alone uh the big thing in hawaii is you mix it with your popcorn really yeah eat it with your popcorn eat it that way just the look and the feel of them they remind me of like oyster crackers
00:38:14
Speaker
A little bit and yeah, you can garnish it on a whole bunch of things. But popcorn is the biggest one that like I said, you it standalone or you throw it on, throw it in with your popcorn. Gives it a little bit of different texture change up and it tastes really good.
00:38:29
Speaker
So that's the stuff we got here. On top of that, we are going to throw, you know, whoever wins can have a choice of the merch out of our merch shop, an item out of there.
