This is the Pack a Day podcast.

Welcome to the Wednesday edition of the Pack of a Day podcast.

I'm one of your host, Dusty.

Be with me as always, Sarah Kelleher. no Steve Perash tonight. We had a really fun episode plan for tonight. We had a listener question. I think Jason Banger, I forgot to pull up his name beforehand, apologize. I know it was Jason. The first one was Jason. We're going to do like a draft of the NFC North players. we're going to do like we had to build an expansion team. I built a board out. I was getting all excited.

I,

my, like a draft of the NFC North players. We're going to do like we had to build an expansion team. I built a board out. I was getting all excited. My only assumption here, Sarah, is that Steve simply did not do his homework and panicked and then pulled out at the last minute here. So we will do that next week. We're very excited about that episode. Tonight, it's me and and you also excited about before we get into

the few things we have to discuss tonight sarah how are you doing yeah i'm good uh you took the words

right out of my mouth um about steve um i was going to say i think you know he just didn't want to prep

for the show today so you know scared to compete yep and you know scared that we were probably going to take all his players and he'd panic in the moment and all that. So anyways, other than that, I'm doing great. You know, having, having a good time here. Pretty much same old, same old. A lot of wedding planning starting to pick up. So that's been a lot of fun. And yeah, no complaints. And Dusty, what about you? What's going on in Kentucky? Any crazy things? School almost out. What's up with you? Yeah, man. Kids got about, we had quite a bit of snow and ice over the winter. So school's going a little longer. So they've got, I think, about two and half weeks left. We're currently right in the midst of standardized testing season. And so both the kids are fighting and clawing to not go to school every morning. So they're about done. I think we're all about done. We're almost there. Again, two and a half weeks. We're nice. Weather's nice for a nice walk today, grilled out today, did some pork tacos on the grill outside. It was just absolutely beautiful. So I'm doing good. We'll be doing better about two and a half weeks when the kids are out of school. But for now, we're good. We've got a little bit of football news. Not much, really. I mean, we've got, we're joking about before we start recording they everything has to be

a production now so we've got like thursday is the schedule release we already know the teams that

they're going to be playing we don't know what order they're going to be playing them in so we got

to wait for thursday for that but they're leaking things now but they've not leaked anything about

the only package related news that we've gotten so far. No international game this year. I can't remember, Sarah, I don't have a pull-up. I kind of forgot. It's the Saints and someone. Paris was the last game. And it's someone in the Saints playing in Paris. And that was the last game that, like, maybe the Packers were going to do that. That's the last slot filled. Steelers and Saints.

Steelers, that's right. So what we know now, we're going to go into this season, no international game for the Packers. Sarah, based on the way international games have gone for the Packers over the past few years, how do you feel about the news that we got no international game this year? That's okay. I'm okay with that.

I love how you kind of gave a spoiler in your question, you know, based on how it's gone in past years.

But no, I think it's fine.

I think, you know, every team and every coach, you know, when we talk about the

international games, it's always like, yeah, it's great, but it throws off our whole

schedule. We have to change our whole routine, and we know that routine and being on that consistent

schedule is huge when it comes to an NFL season and that it can make a big difference and that the

travel, the players have said, does weigh on them so if the
