All right 2nd our Big Easy busy hour though so we're going on I wish you were on t.v. So you could see what was going on on the other side of the glass Adam Ah get ready I need explanation. This program is brought to you by rocket mortgage by Quicken Loans Rocky mortgage is with you every step of the way to provide a seamless mortgage experience had a good 1st hour I open the program on Friday morning a way off in Dubai breaking down the Thursday night match up big match up last night Texans Colts toasty. As I mention with the Texans they had a showdown prior to that and it ended up being a beat down a hospital job so when you get knocked the hell out you're never sure exactly how you can respond you know some people bounce back immediately want to get right back in the fight others don't ever come back so I was curious to see how they would respond and they did except the officiating was an issue at the end that's not why they won that's not why the Colts lost but it was an official or it was an issue at the end none the less we talk about that we talked a little basketball with Chris Mack John in New York made his triumph in return of the program and there was a lot of reaction to that Adam really quickly and again we are not sound like cast today but we are on the radio I just noticed some commotion on the other side of the glass I noticed Alvin was up in the glass what was going on right as we were rejoining the show Alvan says Dude there is a big ass fighter on my board right now and there was and he had to go as it will Was it a big ass spider or like a little spider it was a big ass when I got to Rancho a big ass spider not its original but something that no one wants anything to do with but Alvin exterminated the spider in short order while also rejoining the show is very talented Ok since he exterminated the spider can he now go down the hall and take care of that big rat that I've been seeing running around in a few of those roaches. Except this rats only got ones he not too right so he eradicated and exterminate the spidery all good now we're all good. Ok good thank you very much well done Ali I knew something was going on Alvey was a get out of his chair behind the board something was happening.

How you doing my brother I guess I'm going to take the lead in 1st to Jeff in Southfield this is the real alter happened here thank you for your eloquent pitch for our product a little while ago the response has been thing and task stick to the point that our sales have gone beyond our wildest expectations actually making up for the hit we have been taking on our beef prices over this dumb ass tariff trade war with China which has been screwing our suppliers darn S.N.'s poll Rajai I'm a game against little Monmouth you from Jersey and pour mouth thing a young point guard to monitor no less born in Jersey City where I was born telling him to take his attitude back to the Gregg are the state. 1st reaction was the call still do not say at the beginning in green light is little less and why waste the time and the. Seem like the work class also Jimmy was tossed around by all of those heartland clowns like it was like I was 30 pieces a loose change one of my brother Greg Hall Rand from up 9 were people knock on doors with their elbows will tell you class is the coin of the fricken realm and one little point guard Georgie Pappas 170 soaking wet as the Stones the conus in the backbone to show you clodhoppers what real class is with that in your face still in doubt a clown in the announcing both makes it sound like like Rob starts a whole 80 taking those gunshots at the Red Wedding telling the only classy person in that gym to take his attitude back to Jersey I'll tell you hey see in the booth why don't you come on down to the corner of Jersey I have and 5th back home after they turn the street lights on and I will show you what real latitude and class are less to me very briefly for 30 years and change Thanks for taking my dime and showing the clones in America what real backbone talent and class are Congratulations on the Hall of Fame my brother it's been one hell of a ride in an absolute privilege and an honor to be aboard my brother was a jungle it was created and war general trash like us been out tramps like us trapper in Portland. A little something for that hayseed in the booth quote and of quote He talked about that it was there were that's the tooth he's talking about this go ahead Alvey roll that back he needs to get back to the jersey with that's up to the. Kansas Kansas was up $55.00 at the end of the game looking to dribble it out George Pappas $54.00 he's seeing it all go down he'd have it Pappas goes in Pick Pockets goes in for the slam and was looking to get into anybody and everybody's face and let them know that that's now a $53.00 point game that is right now it's going to be a double the final time I think that's where it's going to. Kristin a rule has taken away by Pappas is he was trying to dribble out the clock at Pappas throws down a duck and that gets up into or space he's got to get teed up and he sure can use 2 of the classic They can only go up the clock Pappa cups it takes the ball away proves that dunk at the talks trash he needs to get back to the Jersey where that's up attitude. Or Los Angeles right here in studio and tell me all about it some credible play and then no sooner than he got done by the way what Pappy sure done he should still be hanging from the room right now he should never like oh he should have got up thrown one down and start to swing from the ram and he should be there right now still but then again if he still were swinging from the Ram He would not be able to get back down and get up in people's Karylle and f. Bomb them twice the way he did. So the Jayhawk faithful were not happy about that. In fact palaces coach King Rice was not really happy about that but let the record reflect Jim Rome is really happy about that I'm still beaming about that I'll never see anything like that my life down 55 damn dribbling out the last 5 ticks Pappas thinks to himself Hell no I'm not having this there is still time left on the clock played a game played a game not until we hit double 0 triple 0 quad 0 mega 0 not until every last person is out of his building we're going to play the game Krystyna rule has taken away by Pappas yet he did ripple out the clock at papa's throws down a duck and it gets up interest place he's got to get teed up and he should be used to it the class you think it will only go up because he does. Things like all aiming came into the game was over the talks to heat up with that attitude teed up teed up what that guy should be statute. Teed up statute up not only would I never ever no offense if you do not only would I never ever aware of another adult's Jersey I'm still looking for this kid's Jersey all Rocket Man keep paps his name out your mouth all of you in the sure here to glorify Pappas .

Get nice things about a really nice welcome back I'm Jim I say that because in the next half hour of guy Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers That's coming up next to right here in this spot I've got the head coach of the Indiana Pacers 4th season as Pacers head coach he has led them to the playoffs 3 straight years Indiana. Certainly and 2nd in the central there at home against Orlando tomorrow night their head coach is Nate Nick Millen Nate good to have you back are you naked a visit to be Brooklyn on Monday night it's a game where Aaron holiday had 24 and 13 assists Justin Holliday ne had 20 points on the outside was pretty cool to see a pair of brothers go for 20 on the same team what did you make it away day to get an opportunity to play this season and you know he's really shown a lot of growth and start the last couple games for us because Malcolm Malcolm has been out but he was starting at the to go after this and in place so it's very new and with Malcolm and it shows some growth on maturity the more time that he gets out on the floor and certainly just and. That's what he's been been unleashed for well brings that experience. We have to start both because of that court. Now and you know I think you know with so it's just been out there with Aaron it's certainly give him some comfort to have an older brother out there with a fiasco to see from the outside one absurd family that is the holiday family naming Millen joining us and they laid that out I mean you've been without knocking broadband you've been without Jeremy Lamb you've got a break between games before you face Orlando tomorrow I'm guessing that if you've had 8 different guys combined to miss 51 games Nate that the rest really is valuable Have you got about using this time. Well we were really need at this time we took a couple of days off to allow you know not only the guys who would plan to to get some life support but the guys we had some guys with some tweaks that needed some time off some of our guys are still recovering we're hoping to get a couple of those guys back from last night again for the land but this was needed much needed for us at this time which I had a McMillan It made me ask about demand as a bonus he had 16 and 18 in the win over Brooklyn he said 8 straight double doubles and they're not cheap ones either he's having 17 points and 16 boards this month you and I have talked about him in the past and his growth as a player but he seems to get better and better and better what makes him so special is a player Well he fits the status is our style of play you know we want to play a physical style on both ends of the floor you know defense you know you know making people feel less we certainly need his rebounding you know rebound and there has been an emphasis in the last couple years that he has been the one guy that has really helped us rebound. You know we've been on the basketball but you know you can't do it by himself but he establishes that with the mouse being out he's been planned really the solo big out there for the last few games and he's been doing a nice job of defending the basket rebound them ball and initiating a lot of our off and some of the office of them fleeing again without Malcolm being out there you know we've had a lot of new faces with Aaron holiday just in the holiday t.j. Warrant. You know if you're caught Sampson and t.j. Leave a lot of new faces in our starting lineup and we don't much is that one guy that. Has been able to help us settle everybody down stablish the style that we want to play on the deepest of them before as well as the office of them before and as you mentioned just continues to grow and get more confident about their plan which on a page there is head basketball coach Nate McMillian you mention Miles Miles Turner he's a member of Team USA or was at the World Cup this year and even though you were not on the staff at that time I know you paid really close attention for example as you pointed out you didn't seem post up one time in the World Cup So what's that tell you about how much his game has changed since the style of play you know that n.b.a. Is going to even in the World Cup. What with Bret. Style of basketball that's been played in the n.b.a. a Post-up game the game is you know used to be played from the inside out where you post the basics of the game is now in play from the outside and where you are writing the confession trying to attract that lamb or get you know 3 point attempts and with the national team you know his role was to clean and roll to the basket to try to collapse that defense and if. You know if they collapse the defense then they would hit him with the 3 point shot from the parameter so I thought it was good for him to play with the National Team 7 years with Coach k. You know working with the staff in each year we felt like the guys was much better when they went into their n.b.a. Season and I felt you know. Mouse. I get that experience that opportunity to play in that competition and it would help him with sure not really felt that he did you know he came in. Later you know communicating with this team the understanding of what we want to do this season you know a lot of the guys that he came in with are now gone so he understands what needs to be done and that really that leader on the chain that he saw maturity which is going to name it Millen and will do so for a few more moments I appreciate the Nate what about Victrola Deepal he went to a full court practice yesterday and was able to get up and down the court live with you for the 1st time since tearing that quad tendon How did he look to you and how do you go about handling his return. He seems to want good you know he's working extremely hard working all summer long or you know getting himself back in and as strong as he possibly can Yesterday was just. Practice where we didn't have to control the scram it's really pretty much went up and down for about 30 minutes and he was able to play you know live play you know a lot of contact for about 30 minutes for the past month or so what he has been doing is plan half court basketball 5 on 5 but he's been planted in the half court not been for court and he has had to go every other day so he's you know spent some time with Archie League team on a week ago to try to get some full court play and his 1st time with the school for court yesterday and you know did good you know it was good to see him out there still a ways away but it was good to see him out there you know going for court with the guys again so when I thought about that for let you go because I think the fans don't really identify or even take the time to think about this when you deal with a player I mean any player but certainly want to special as all of the ball who suffered that kind of an injury how much of that rehab process is about the physical side of recovery and how much of that is about the mental and psychological side. Which says if the I mean the menso the mental part of it is just as important as the physical part of it and you know he has hit this I mean I mean going 100 percent we've had to really back him off of his workouts you know he has a trainer he's working with our trainers. You know we have a name get himself back together but you know that their head has. Taken this and it's really motivated him to come back you know if possible better than he was and not watched him over the summer you know going through this rehab workout. Has been and still is really hard. Trying to come back strong really looks good he hasn't had any x. You know since. He's been working out throughout the summer and when the team and I really feel he's going to come back you know just as good as he was before he left off but we have to be patient and we have to you know follow the doctor's orders and the trainers and everything but I think he's going to be fine when he comes back it's good again he has his 4th season as head coach of the Indiana Pacers led them to the postseason 3 straight years there and 2nd in the Centro their inaction at home tomorrow against Orlando McMillan my guest Nate so good to have you back you know I appreciate you and it's always good to have you on the show ne thanks so much All right Jim Thanks for having me great talking to you Nate I always look forward to it always look forward to it Nate make Millen such a great player too and extremely under a coach really good coach extremely well respected but I think may not even necessarily get the kind of run that he's earned that he deserves and I say that because my guy gets the most out of any roster he has always has no matter where he's coached no matter what he's had he's got the most out of it and what he has right now is a really young nucleus a nice nucleus though so bonus miles Turner broadband and oil depot is coming back and a big Millen says he is determined or Depot to come back better than he was if that's possible. All right we will return in fact if it's possible I would like to come back even better than we were.

North and they've got a big one they're all big but a really big one coming up on Sunday night there at San Francisco Aaron Rodgers is my guest Aaron it's good to have you back in the jungle how are you I'm doing great Jim because they were than any of that that you just mentioned is that I'm back on the humor room show in the jungle did no good jungle karma thanks go to my man Aaron it's been a long time it is so good to have you back so having said that I think I know the answer but you're 82 you're coming off a bar you got that big game against San Francisco you're back in the jungle how is life for you right now I mean today at the 1240 Central Time is pretty damn good you know. Then a long time. It's been a you know it's been a good year to be out of my media for games and. In November and December obviously we haven't had that last couple years so it's pretty pretty exciting around here in fact I was here say that because before the by Aaron you and Jimmy Graham have been talking about the 1st 10 games and the fact that both of you have been through some pretty challenging seasons I know you're not going to plan a victory parade for being 82 but when you've been around that leave for little while Aaron more of an appreciation of how special it is to be in this spot right now oh for sure without a doubt especially the older you get to realize how the opportunities like this don't come along every single year and you know we knew coming out of camp we had a good team but it was going to be a struggle you know finding our foot in the our fans and not even it was a question mark as well you know with a lot of new pieces but the beauty of the season has really been the chemistry and over the years you know we've had some some really good teams here the best of those teams have that close knit feel to it and this is the closest that we've we've been over the last few years for sure and it's not really a surprise in that sense that we have been playing well because you know I think chemistry is one of the most overlooked and under-appreciated qualities of good teams which often Aaron Rodgers you know when you mention chemistry and you've got a good mix of younger guys and veteran talent part of what you did was remind of the younger guys hey listen you got this by we coming up let's stay on our game don't do anything foolish but just made a reference to the fact that back in 2010 quote I think a lot of us wanted to win for Charles or Pickett and some of the older guys but we're not asking for that and quote So why was that important that 2010 team but not something you'd ask for with this team. Well I think Jim the point of that is is that authenticity is always the best the best leadership in the event and the best motivator and I think that the culture we've created here nowadays is just one that allows guys to rethink free themselves and I think you've seen the biggest change in there has been when you had a guy like Preston Smith and a guy like that there is Smith you have such big personalities in the current charismatic guys I think it's a lot of the guys to kind of relax and be themselves a lot more because the whole tone of the team led by those guys and I guess it's just a little more fun loving and it's been great having those guys in the locker room I think you know for me it with that quote you know I knew how important was to Charles who would really accomplished everything at every level you know I've been choppy water and defensive player of the year and. Going to be a Hall of Famer and this was kind of the capper for him and guy like Ryan Pickett who did everything the right way and it was a you know savvy of that but the beauty in that team as I look back on it is we had guys like Howard Green who you know was cut from the Jets drove his car to Mississippi and then got a call on the way and next thing you know he's on our squad and you make some of the biggest plays and threw a $45.00 hidden penalty threw it in there was a pick 6 off for that matter Wilhelm was a big stalwart on special teams were us and there was just a lot of guys who really understood their role and played it to the max you know and again that might seem like a trivial you know piece to the to the puzzle but it's actually not it's an integral part of success and 7 guys who truly understand their role and played with with pride and I think that's what we've seen this year from our guys and it makes you really proud as a leader the football team and our interactions joining us you recall those times in those moments is really amazing to me and when you talking about rollers and you talk about being a leader on that football team I want to read you one more quote something you said that really struck me and I want to talk about this you said my brain in responsibilities it operates at a different level than other positions everybody has different responsibilities and it's important that when I'm trying to convey a message that it's his clearest possible end quote Personally I like that a lot but can you lay that out what do you mean by that. Well Mike and I actually had a conversation about this many years ago just about how I see the game and what's coming to my mind when I break the auto compared to other guys in the most and just sort of a good reminder the most important thing when you're making a check with you when you're communicating their responsibilities is to remember who you're talking to and then everybody's brain and comprehension and focus level is different and the most important thing is being on the same page not you know making the perfect check and just a good the I think it's been a good reminder this year with a new system a new terminology a new verbiage and informations even though I've picked it up and feel really good in it. You know to make sure that my 15 year brain is is remembering what it was like to be a younger player in the most important thing is not you know showing off my back human on the field is the most important thing is making sure that all 11 on the same page at all times and and it's been a good reminder and Bridget of that conversation many years ago and that's on my mind a lot and right here is back in the jungle and he's joining us for a few more moments you mention the new system and there's been a lot made about the authenticity how different it is this year now that you're in it how different is it I mean is the change significant or did people make way too big of a deal out of that. I think you're answering the question right there exam I think in the absent when there's not that honest always going on you know I think that in the media naturally you know I don't have a problem with it and they try and find one or 2 things that they think could be a big big story later so they get on the front end of it there's a lot of speculation about the relationship between Matt 9 and the relationship between like our quarterback and me in the new system and I think you know thankfully that's mostly gone away as you've seen you know my comfort level and increased over the weeks and Matt Nies relationship on the field of play caller and quarterback is it really messed well and obviously we get along well off the field enjoy each other's company but you know you have to kind of go through that 1st dredge to to go again you know and girdles I guess that these you know experts say that all these questions that you can make it work and right here is joining us as we get foreigners here on Sunday night which means you're going up against that defense and that there's a pass rush What kind of society when you look at them. Well I hope and I hope we can hold up you know that's the that's the thoughts they haven't a fantastic pass rushing and I think that 39 sacks this year they've created 22 turnovers so there's a really smart football team and their defense is kosher really well they're there and I think they have enough savvy players on the back end and then some really good young players I was in that boat so there's a you know guys going to be around for a long time and be a you know perennial pro ball I think they're really really like and like that when he was coming out got to normal but Fred Warner who's been I've done a really nice job in the middle of a sideline to sideline Creighton turnovers getting those guys lined up you know just like anything and they have a lot of good role players you know who are playing at a really high level and guys are just do their job to get their spots a drop a bright spot they tackle well they could be for the ball and that's what I think is a staple of any any great unit off answered their defensive and obviously you know front to get a couple 67 guys in with a pocket to get their hands up their stout against Iran their key has been you know the timing of the passing and they're getting so many pressures and sacks on the quarterback of the defense I think as well more confidence being aggressive on the outside and jump on routes and and you know they've really gotten down on the offense out of all this you're right there before you go me ask you really quickly about Aaron Johnson talking about the defense and you've also been really I know in John's I've had him on the show actually a number of times personally I cannot be more impressed with him the way how has business on and off the field in your mind what makes him unique. Well I think as a person it's the humility I mean just he is such a humble great kid I mean it's yes or no answer when he comes to work and really hasn't great focus about himself you've got to really get present and I think that's the fun thing to see is as kind of his stardom has grown this year in the production has matched what we've all seen talent level and he just he has just a such a sweet humility about him and a great presence in the locker room that everybody respects and we give him the couple game balls he's trying to throw the ball the off ice a line because that's just the kind of guy is and it's not a fake humility that anybody can sniff out and it's a it's a genuine appreciation for the guys who help what can help them accomplish what he does on the field every week and he couldn't ask for a Better get out of the play with these super sharp on the field and just try to get the ball in space quickly as they can and not to pry but the buy week like it does point your life it is point your career we able to get away from football and implied or once you're in season do you stay in that grind and stick to your process regardless what you do without by. I don't blog I mean a years past I've gone out of the country many times usually to the beach somewhere just went back to Southern California and and went to the beach still but I'd enjoyed my time and definitely unplugged and you know 3rd turn the phone off the social media and just relax and get a lot of body work done I mean I'm getting old Jim you know I've been coming on here for a while not you know it's been a couple years but. You know if if the year so I'm smart about what I did physically during the bye week get some work outs and I've got somebody work but what a great time on blogging for us you know this latest pie that I've ever had as a starter and I think it came in a really good time from a physical standpoint we've had byes in the past week 3 week 4 and those those bring along a stretch of games after that and haven't we can live on the coast was pretty helpful you know we went way too long but this is such an amazing conversation final thing since you came back set in California Aaron and you and I had done this for a long long time your California guy on the California guy we dropped our oldest son off the University of Wisconsin this year and we're actually building a house in Eagle River I'm getting more and more acclimated with the state do you have any advice for me what do you as a California guy said in California guy what do I need to know about the state of Wisconsin because I'm spending more and more time there now.
