Who is the most famous non NFC North head coach named Matt? Matt Dave and Matt Ryan somebody else and celebrating 10 great years on ESPN Wisconsin. Can you repeat that question? Sorry, this is Will Be in Towsh presented by fellow Windows and Doors of Wisconsin The 11 o'clock out of Wilde in Towsh begins now the old Whistler's back. Yeah, big
Whistler. Time now to kick off the 11 o'clock hour with our weekend preview. Big weekend, fully loaded slate across multiple sports. We're gonna concentrate on football though the Brewers can clinch a playoff birth with a win tonight against the Cincinnati Reds at American Family Field 645 tonight Towsh that one streaming exclusively on Apple TV plus tonight if you want to watch it. I mean I do want to watch it. I'm not going to though because I'm just not. All right, then listen to it on 620 WTMJ I'm going to sit to it on 100.5 on my way home. There you go. I'll be listening. I think again, man, I am not going to sit here and cry about all of the different platforms these games are on. But at some point consumers are going to cry uncle and say enough and I think we're getting close. That's all I'm going to say.
I don't like that they put the cops did it for me. I think it's going to I think you're going to see more and more. It's like what? I don't even think this was on the schedule for this Apple. Was this on their announce this last weekend? Last weekend, they announced that are at the end of last weekend. It was a fairly late flex pick for Apple TV to pick this game up. Yeah, I think people are about at which end with this. I think we're going to see I think we're going to see some things in the future. So did you watch Rams 49ers? I did Netflix. No, I didn't. I heard I didn't miss much. Kind of a snoozer. Yeah. I did not. So I didn't miss much from Miles Garrett. Brams, super team. Seven points. Way to go. Yeah, all y'all. Remember, and y'all were saying they're going to go undefeated and I told y'all were idiots. Who are all y'all? No one is. I am not part of all y'all. If you're part of the all y'all, you can take credit for it. If you don't want to be all y'all, don't be all y'all.
I'm not part of all y'all. I don't care. Which of these games come up this weekend? The Rams are more likely. They were more likely to not make the playoffs and go 17 and oh, like what are we talking about? More likely to go 17 and oh. Our prize picks are all in five on our prize. Can I do the weekend preview? All the games coming up. What a bunch of just because they pick up a guy that comes off of his couch for two years. And he's a great player. Was you're now going to say you're going to go 17 and oh, and this league. Get out of here. Who? Anybody that all of anybody at y'all y'all's that thought that shame on y'all. What a reddit. Sometimes there's ridiculousness and then there's just absurdity. This is in the ridiculous absurdity. Way to go all y'all. This has been your weekend preview presented by Ed Holmes. 11th ranked Oklahoma at Michigan. Big house 11 a.m.
Oklahoma big next. No, not interested. Oklahoma big next Iowa state and 21st ranked Iowa. The prime time 630 NBC tomorrow night. Do we notice is it is there a swing back towards let the big games going later. Big noon kickoff is dying. No, it's just a coincidence that nobody scheduled well in the big 10 early season games. Starting to feel it. I think people are clamorant for more night. We all love the noon. I now. Oklahoma Michigan is one of the biggest nonconference games of the Oklahoma is going to truck them. Michigan stinks next number one Ohio state at number four. Texas 630. What is happening? I just five years. Jesse, I'm irritated that we play western Michigan at six whatever time we play because I want this. Ohio State Texas the real deal. That game I am I couldn't be more intrigued and I'm going to have to watch it in breaks.
I won't be able to watch it and I'm irritated. First off. We should be playing at 11 tomorrow not at 615. Devin, whatever. I'm not going to I can't whatever. I'm not going to complain about it. But Ohio State Michigan or Ohio State and Texas. That game is big boy football. I can't wait to see what is going to happen. Also just making sure you know you guys play western Illinois tomorrow. You did say western Michigan the moment ago. So what I'll let you know. You'll be on the call for that one just want to make sure you know I love how I let all you I let all y'all make mistakes. And I'll tell you off air. But boy if I slip up one second y'all a pouch like a wrap a wrap. If you were to use those of picking the rams to go undefeated. What should we do? Tows will be watching Wisconsin western Michigan tomorrow night. All y'all going to be watching Ohio State Texas not even knowing that they're not playing western Michigan. Then there's the NFL games on Sunday. Bill's Texans is our noon game on CBS.
Yeah. Bears Panthers is our noon game on box. Got to scout the enemy. And who do we think wins that one? Who do we like it now? The at at Carolina at Charlotte the Queen City. Yeah. Since the city. I will take the bears to win that game. What's the Emerald City Seattle Seattle. Okay. Why I feel like Charlotte should be the Emerald City. Cowboys giants is your Sunday night football game. Panthers beat the bears I think on Sunday. Are there other cities Baltimore is called Charm City. Milwaukee is Bruce City right? Or the cream city. Sure whatever. Yeah. That's what you want to call it. New York's the big apple city. All right. I'm sorry. That's it. That's your weekend preview which game stands out most to you. I want to see Wisconsin western Michigan all y'all going to be watching Ohio State Texas tomorrow night.
Yeah. That's the game. That's the big and that's the big. Jesse I'm surprised you're not going to jump into this the big this big nude kickoff. I think the whole concept of it was cute. People want to watch games at night. Fox should start thinking seriously about jumping back in. They ain't going to beat game day. They understand they came in trying to beat college game day. That's why they went with the 11 o'clock so they get more watchers for their whatever they call their pregame show. That battle is lost. It's over. Game day is crushing you. All right. It's time to say we're going to put big nude kickoff back to call it big six kickoff. Kick that thing off at six o'clock on a Saturday night. Nobody's going to watch the pregame show if it's on at six o'clock at night. I actually I this is I like Mickey Mouse in our Disney corporation in our ESPN properties as much as anyone. I think there was a clear void in the 11 a.m. kickoffs for a couple of years. Fox sensed an opportunity to put a big game there.
And I actually have enjoyed big noon kickoffs. I do wish there are some games that feel like they belong at night that get played at 11 a.m. And that stinks. But I do like the concept of having a big game at noon and 2 30 and 6 30. So all the games aren't all stacked against each other at night. Plus it's a Saturday night. It's nice to watch a game during the day and then be able to go out and go to dinner and do things on a Saturday night that people like to do. So I like the 11 a.m. kickoff. What? What will more people watch a Saturday 11 a.m. game or a Saturday seven o'clock game? Asked and answered your honor. What will draw more people? What will have more opportunities for people to watch? Jesse have the guts to code. It's a plead no contest. Come on. Numbers will show that big noon kickoff has done pretty well for Fox with the 11 a.m. kicks drawing. What if you better if it was on at seven o'clock at night? Arguably the biggest game of the year every year is Ohio State Michigan.
That one always has played at 11 a.m. Well before Fox and it would do better if it was at night. It would do better if it was that game was always at 11. I think it's been played at 2 30. One time they played it at 2 30 because it was number one versus number two. They moved it to 230 every other time it was 11 a.m. It. Why does a big noon kickoff to I got a better idea for big noon kickoff. Start your pre game show at noon when it's actually big noon. Will it end play the game at 2 30? Don't make us explain time zones to you. All y'all. Towsh instead of discussing time zones and big noon kickoff which the way you say it kind of sounds like big noon kickoff. Which is a totally different. I think they're going to change their tune. I think they're going to change their tune. But keep their clothes on. Towsh tell us to get about prize picks. I'm confused where did nudity come in to this?
I'm sorry you weren't listening. You've been watching those no big ads haven't you? Is that what you've been doing? The what? You old son of a gun? Oh I know you know. I know y'all know what you're talking about. Sydney Swini and Odech. Odech, you too. Haven't been watching the Sydney Swini ads on the inner webs. You're talking about nudity. Don't you two act all coy? I haven't seen a single one of those. I don't know what you all think about it. Explain this to us. I'm sure. Oh yeah, I'm sure. No I'll explain prize picks y'all talking nudity on here. I'm trying to talk prize picks all month long. Prize picks. Bringing users a new promotion every day including guaranteed picks every Sunday.

This is Wilde in Towsh presented by Pella Windows and Doors of Wisconsin called today 855 Pella WI and online. At PellaWI.com slash radio.
I still don't understand what this commercial is for but I looked on YouTube and found this Sydney Swini ad that he referenced. Yeah. Provocative. It's provocative. I love how you two. I love how y'all actually you didn't know Sydney Swini hits. It's like, come on now. First of all, I think you can go on now. Come on, Cindy. But I don't want to correct you. I do know who Sydney Swini is. I have not seen said ad. I'll say Sydney like Sydney Alvarez. It's Cindy Crawford. Carl Crawford. Carl Brooks. Brooks Bollinger. Mike Sweeney. You don't need to know anything about Sydney Swini or whatever ad that's for.

So fisticated relaxation, incredible flavor and a full night out all in one place. At Padwad and Casino Hotel Time Now for headlines. So here's how it's going to go this year. The Towsha's headline academy and I had a summit at the Wildean Towsha 10th anniversary event last weekend. And what we've decided is this year headlines are us versus the machine.
Rage against it. We can rage against the machine. So I have spent this off season with my lovely assistant Chatti coming up with some great house music for us to enjoy because everyone knows headlines were best when they were musical. Right Jason? We all agree. Everyone does know that. In fact, I don't want I'm not outing anyone. But I am here to tell you that I learned at the 10th anniversary that the shift to filmography was not unanimous according to sources. Wow. Oh boy. So what we need is everyone to unite on the human frontier. And so what we will have each week is a musical number provided by our house band Chatti and the G.P.T.s. And then we will decide to pick against or with the house band.
So without further ado. So wait a minute. So the academy is retired. Like they're not inputting any of the information. Like it was it Pat by the way major despite him and I disagreeing on the film left turn that we took on headlines. He is he is really bright sharp creative guy. So I don't want anyone to think that I question his creativity or his intellect because he is really he's a he's a good guy to have on your team or in your academy. And it was great to talk with him and have him on stage and he had me read that scene. It was great. But so now all of that brilliance is being turned over to AI he is not inputting any of his thoughts it's all AI all the time is what you're telling me no I'm still doing a headline I will still give a headline and we're going to compare and contrast our headlines first is chatty's head.
That's not how that was explained. Without further ado. The first entry from the machine headlines 2026. 10 years ago. A segment was born with how it's evolved reviews are torn. What started out simple predicting the game has somehow gotten longer and every possible way is time for headlines Sunday afternoon. Another packer season is about to boom no presidential punts no movie scene just this packers win 23 to 17 new season of head lights so turn it up now. Prediction so bold it'll make you proud the packers beat the Viking some way and somehow and just like in Madison.
The season starts now. Thank you Jason thank you Mark thank you Jesse and thank you to the headline academy. Was that city sweetie? Sounded very sultry it did sound so so so so. Pat's got to be like inputting some of this information or is Jesse doing it. That was doing that. That was really good. I think it's a good game performance by the chatty and the GPT's. And now we're going to judge our headlines and what we think happens versus chatty GPT's at least that's what I'm going to do you guys could do it ever you want. So they have the packers winning and they're taking in all these data points are transcripts and everything else I don't know how Jesse's prompting said chatty but. I look at this differently. I'm looking at this differently than chatty GPT I want to be as musical and as lyrical but I've said when the schedule came out I didn't like it thought this is going to be a tough battle.
I don't feel better about the green Bay Packers and I did when I said that then. There's things I feel really good about and there's things I don't feel really good about and my headline for this week's game Packers bloody Murray. The old fashioned way but the Vikings Sour Packers opener we get beat 24 23 I got the Viking. The green Bay is. Wow. Yeah. This is a stunning turn of events don't like where our heads are at and then we'll compare contrast if I'm right if chatty's right if you're right. I don't like where we're at offensive line wise there's too many question marks and I think we're going to scramble and battle back late but I think we I think we get beat this weekend. I'm curious bloody Murray old fashioned Sour this is a really good headline did you do it all by yourself or was.
No I remember the Academy helping you still unidentified sources with the help. Good job Pat. Okay Jesse do you have we just we we should at least occasionally talk about things before we do them on the air. I was told that we were doing AI. So I think we should I don't have another headline I want to play chatty in the GPCs I agree with the machine I think Packers win in a narrow victory this weekend so I'm with the machine. Towsha is going against the machine picking the Packers to lose which I did not see it was the development on today's show but there it is I think the Packers win I do I think I think 2317 sounds like a great number two from chatty and the GPCs so do we have time to play that again or no sir. Ten years ago a segment was born with how it's evolved reviews are torn what started out simple predicting the game has somehow gotten longer and every possible way is time for headlines Sunday afternoon
Another Packer season is about to boom no presidential punts no movie scene just this Packers win 23 to 17 new season of headlines so turn it up now The Packers beat the Vikings some way and somehow and just like in Madison the season starts now thank you Jason thank you mark thank you Jesse and thank you to the headline Academy. You're welcome chatty you are anytime I don't know if I should be amazed or really concerned voice no they'll be different whenever our
I was like very very in the genre of Boston my favorite band can you do that we'll see what we can do we'll see what we do that's when they play the patriots we do that should probably fit with who we're playing right you would think that would make sense now. All right so just so we can satisfy John in the ESPN Madison YouTube comments and elsewhere are we're still going to do ours that's that's how we're going to do this now it's us again I want to know yeah I was it's not a big machine judge the machine now it's and we're saying good enough to versus the machine and we'll see who's more accurate all right well I will my bad I thought Jason I thought Jesse had a long conversation with the Academy and they worked it out so that's on me for now I'm not in the Academy so I was communicating I was unaware so next week I will so I can do I sing my headline next week or do I do it everyone. Jason we've learned like we've learned from you whatever makes you happy and comfortable and whatever that quote is what is that quote again Jesse he doesn't have it I'm not going to give it to he doesn't he doesn't know it I like it I'll be happy I like it I would I want some more of it I want you to tell me about MoMA instead well if you've been dealing with pain in your knee shoulder back or neck any joint.
You don't have to tough it out go ahead check out MoMA the Midwest orthopedic and musculoskeletal alliance they bring together trusted local providers oh I W S M O C innovative pain and they make it easy to find the right specialist and the right treatment for you I've been going to ortho laser my knee has felt that I have not felt this good in a long time I've been in got my laser and getting it in the blood flow going back to my knee been able to play golf getting my steps in been able to go function out in society which I couldn't do.

That was headlines next have you turned woe nellie over to the chatty g pt's no no no no no selective requests from my assistant this year just steinhoffle sleeper grading and with headlines.
Well no this next it's will be in Towsh. This is will be in Towsh driven by Zimbrick Chevrolet in sun prairie on 100.5 ESPN see their full inventory at Zimbrick Chevrolet dot com. 10 years ago a segment was born with how it's evolved reviews are torn what started out simple much like a chatty g pt says about the headlines for movies and people being torn. I'm so torn on this because I am not an AI stand and yet this is really catchy and I'm fascinated that it creates this. I like it. I think it's good to you. So I don't know how to feel. I do know that I'm excited for what we've got going on with Dr. Pepper and in fact I was thinking today might be the day that I swing by the o'nita street McDonald's to try this dirty Dr. Pepper that Jesse has tried.
You can experience game day like never before if you win the pair of tickets to see green bay host Chicago on October 11th which will include reservations to the tundra trio green base upscale tailgating destination with homes steps away from the stadium and featuring gourmet food and premium drinks and it's all brought to you courtesy of Dr. Pepper and ESPN Wisconsin all you got to do is go to ESPN Wisconsin dot com right now ESPN. And I don't know Jason. Thanks. Go to ESPN Wisconsin dot com to enter and you know nothing hits Jesse knows this like a dirty Dr. Pepper. The unmistakably Dr. Pepper flavor with a touch of vanilla and cold foam now available at McDonald's no purchases necessary just enter by September 20th time now for Wonelly.
Topic is good. The guys discuss just the other morning I'd like to say trace the Rocker's houses mama bought out 15 floodgates. He said mama take my father and blood. I gotta say, oh, I love Cronson. But if it's not the show must go on. It's time for Wonelly on will be in tow. Simple question today with the Packers opening with the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon. Do you prefer when the Packers play a big division rivalry game in week one to start the season with the extra juice like they have the last couple of years. Or do you prefer when they open against the team like the Jaguars or the Saints that has a little more of a welcome back. Get back into the field of things type flavor to it. Towsh. I like the latter. The excitement of opening a season is enough juice. I don't need added juice. It's nice to have juice on top of juice. But I'm going to be juiced up regardless of who the Packers played open the season and I prefer having our sea legs under us a little bit because these division games mean a lot.
In essence a game and a half or two games when you're talking about tie breakers and you know divisional record and whatnot so I don't need to have this I'm glad it's not the bears if it was a Sunday night game there be juice on top of juice. There's going to be plenty of juice on top of juice in a couple weeks when they actually do play the Chicago bears. But I don't need it. If we're playing needed or don't need it I'm saying. Give me the Titans or the Jaguars or somebody else and I will still be just as excited as I'm going to be for the Viking game comes Sunday made it or don't need it. One's the last time we played that. Ben a minute. I don't really care who they open with. I'm excited to go to Minnesota and cover the game and finally have actual evidence of what the Packers may or may not be as opposed to all these opinions. I think or I wonder. I do wonder this and not anymore because I typed in ESPN Wisconsin Contests dot com that website is also still active and it'll take you to your doctor pepper and ESPN Wisconsin ultimate fan weekend contest where you can click and enter so you got that going for you which is nice.
We need to get to feel good Friday painted by home and Lindsey paints but we can't do that until Towsha's told us one more time about Tito's vodka. Well, Tito's vodka what a weekend we got football over the place beautiful weather if you want to get out and golf you want to go fish whatever you want to go do. It's fun to have a cocktail in your hand and of course that'll be Tito's handmade vodka is always our go to made in Austin, Texas at the first legal distillery in that state. It's just still six times for a clean and smooth finish and it goes great with whatever you're looking for the transfusion it's still transfusion season for me but whatever it is make sure Tito's is in your glass crafted to be savored responsibly. Feel good Friday. Painted by home and Lindsey paints his next this will be a Towsha. The will the entouched podcast on the ESPN Wisconsin app is brought to you by Brown Strauss a 100% employee own steel company helping build the Midwest learn more at Brown Strauss dot com.
Before we get to feel good Friday painted by home and Lindsey paints Jesse's got to pick a trivia winner. I've done it Brad in white waters. Yesterday's contest and nicely done you he had part of the perfect week on like Ryan earlier today congrats Bradson's necessary. Towsha you've been telling us about the Pierce 9-11 stair climb in Lambo field tomorrow. I think that's a great feel good Friday and they've been great to be a sponsor that for what 14 years now. 14 years they've been doing it and tomorrow at Lambo you can do it I tell you today obviously it's 9-11 and a lot of heavy hearts. A lot of tributes the firefighters they deserve it and you can join that Pierce manufacturing walk go over again to Pierce MFG dot com slash climb climb and Lambo steps for all of those heroes that took that had their lives taken from them climb it up to try and be. To do everything in the right way on that faithful day 25 years ago it's a great memory to it's a great way to honor that memory again that is tomorrow up at Lambo field.
