engagement so sad that she's not here but uh dusty how you doing my friend doing my friend? Doing good, man. Listen, we got a Hall of Fame game, which I watched a little bit of and then turned it off to watch something else. I'll tell you, I started watching 28 years later. And then my son came out 20 minutes later. It was like, Daddy. And I was like, oh, no. He was like, can we watch football? Like, yes, we can. So watch the end of that game. We got practice going. We got the Packer's first preseason game coming up. Listen, I'm doing great, Steve. I am doing great. Weather's cooling down. It's been like not 95 degrees outside, man. It's been just beautiful. things are things are going well Steve how are you you know I'm doing pretty good I'm doing pretty good

gets to do a little outside, man. It's been just beautiful. Things are, things are going well. Steve, how are you?

You know, I'm doing pretty good. I'm doing pretty good. Got to do a little, didn't have any of the kids after work today, and so I needed to get out of the house and got myself a new Lego set, so I was very excited about that. I got the, the EWalk, so I went to the Lego store. There's a $130 EWalk. So I got that guy. I'll start working on him soon. Just finished up, uh, Lilo and Stitch. So that was, uh, it's my, I have like four going on at once that my kids start them. And then they just leave them on trays around the apartment. And so I finally was like, I bought

a new one. I'm like, I should probably finish some of these other ones before I get going. But

you know, nerd in and out as always. And, you know, weather's getting better. Works going good,

man. I'm in Packers football. So, you know, it's all things are pointing up right now, my friend.

Agreed. A hundred percent agreed. All right. So let's now, my friend. Agreed.

A hundred percent agreed.

All right. So let's jump into some news and notes. And we're going to let you do this. There's a couple of hit and miss things going on here for the Packers, some good, some bad, some in between. So what's been going on in the Packer world today? Yeah, we'll hit the smaller stuff first. little bottom of the roster turn, which you know Goodukens likes to do all year,

but especially this time of year. So they wave Sam Brown Jr., which I was a little upset about on draft a free agent on Miami. I really liked him, but he was injured. They waived him with an injury designation. And then to fill his roster spot in, they signed Laceda Smith, 6 foot 3, 314 pound left tackle. Six-round pick for the Cardinals in 2022 out of Virginia Tech, I'm not mistaken. Started a couple games. I think started one game last year for the Patriots. All in all has been like not great. Just seems like, you know, another body at a little competition. I don't think he's going to stick. But get a guy that that you know we get six round kind of a bigger dude played at a decent school if he hits maybe you get something there but i this is one of those by next week we'll probably

be talking about they release lecitha smith and they sign someone else probably but

rosser guy coming in yep i was gonna say we we see this a lot. I mean, the bigger thing is, and I know you talked about this a little earlier today with Andy or yesterday with Andy from the sounds of it, but Nate Hobbs surgery, he missed, I think he was out on, he was not there for family night, I think. The news out of, of i think bill huber at the time was just

i was sitting out he had uh he had a knee issue i think he had surgery they're saying now

surgery to repair partial tear and his meniscus uh he will miss all of preseason they expect him back

by week one uh what was just out of curiosity steven what were you're when you were talking

andy what were what were some of your thoughts on on Hobbs about him missing? I know those conspiracy theories flooding around, which I don't even know that we need to talk about necessarily. But what are your thoughts on? We got a question about the conspiracy theory. Don't worry. We'll get asked. We absolutely did. We absolutely did. it was kind of the I the best way to

kind of describe
