- 2:49Speaker 5: get to talk about the Bucks win last night, or
- 2:51Speaker 5: maybe not wanting to talk about the Badgers game last night,
- 2:54Speaker 5: which I do have to apologize for quickly. Guys, I
- 2:57Speaker 5: do think I might have been the curse. I woke
- 3:00Speaker 5: right around eleven thirty when the Badgers had a five
- 3:03Speaker 5: point lead and flipped on the varsity app Yikes, and
- 3:09Speaker 5: got to listen to Matt and Butcher rolled through the
- 3:11Speaker 5: sixteen to two run that Oregon had, and then never looked.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Back like last I told Butch, I was like, I
- 3:18Speaker 3: will not be up watching this late tip.
- 3:19Speaker 2: However, you know, good luck.
- 3:21Speaker 3: But it is one of those things we talked about,
- 3:23Speaker 3: the schedule situation, and you ass could it be a
- 3:25Speaker 3: schedule law? It just I don't want to say Mick
- 3:28Speaker 3: Cronin's right, but there's something to the fact that when
- 3:30Speaker 3: you have to go west and you have to go east.
- 3:32Speaker 3: We see in the NFL all the time, it's a
- 3:34Speaker 3: different You know, you could sit there and say, look
- 3:36Speaker 3: at Oregon's Big ten record. Why they have problem? Well,
- 3:39Speaker 3: because you're off this long travel, you're going to their house,
- 3:42Speaker 3: You're you're going to a place that's had success.
- 3:44Speaker 2: And that was a b YOJ game last night. You
- 3:46Speaker 2: had to bring your own juice.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Yet juice, right, I mean it is. You know, Dane
- 3:50Speaker 3: Altman's had some good teams.
- 3:51Speaker 5: But you know, but those lily Pads were quite quiet
- 3:54Speaker 5: last night in the Land of the Ducks though. But Drew,
- 3:57Speaker 5: damn did you call that thing from a mile away yesterday?
- 4:00Speaker 4: I just looked at the schedule, four games up there,
- 4:02Speaker 4: due for a clunker, maybe get out of the way,
- 4:04Speaker 4: and they did it in the first game. Now you
- 4:06Speaker 4: would hope that they rise up and just throttle washing
- 4:09Speaker 4: and not shut the boxes and get ready for that
- 4:11Speaker 4: Perdue game, which is will be somewhat significant, but not
- 4:15Speaker 4: really sure, the measuring stick game with Perdue at the
- 4:18Speaker 4: end and then into the tournament.
- 4:20Speaker 2: But I just I could smell it coming.
- 4:23Speaker 4: Last year you had you're playing the seventeenth place team,
- 4:27Speaker 4: and you traveled, like you said, Arman, in my experience,
- 4:30Speaker 4: like traveling west is a lot easier than traveling west
- 4:32Speaker 4: to east.
- 4:32Speaker 2: East to west is better.
- 4:34Speaker 4: But I just knew that, like one of these two
- 4:36Speaker 4: look like they would, they would soil themselves. And when
- 4:39Speaker 4: you're not shooting, what boyd score two points in the second.
- 4:42Speaker 5: Half the second half, you give up fifty five And
- 4:44Speaker 5: the offensive glass was a big problem in that second half. Yeah,
- 4:47Speaker 5: you ask yourself, you know, just on the sirt, like
- 4:49Speaker 5: how could you lose to a team that does this
- 4:51Speaker 5: and this and that? But like Oregon shot fifteen percent
- 4:54Speaker 5: better from three than they have all year on average.
- 4:56Speaker 3: All right, these are the way these things happen. They
- 4:58Speaker 3: get a couple of guys getting hot, and that's the
- 5:00Speaker 3: way it goes now in college basketball, And that's the way.
- 5:03Speaker 3: Sometimes you can get beat in these road environments.
- 5:05Speaker 5: And you don't understand what can happen when that VENMO
- 5:08Speaker 5: Big Ten Rivalry Series logo appears on the floor around
- 5:12Speaker 5: the field, You just you don't know. You throw the
- 5:14Speaker 5: records out when it's the VENMO Big Ten Rivalry Series.
- 5:17Speaker 5: They painted that thing on the field at Barry Alvarez
- 5:20Speaker 5: Field at Camp Randall never took it off. I didn't
- 5:23Speaker 5: realize that. I thought they were starting it for the
- 5:25Speaker 5: Iowa game. They didn't. They did it for the Ohio
- 5:27Speaker 5: State game, which is obviously Wisconsin's bigger rival, and then
- 5:31Speaker 5: just rolled it the rest of the year. Again, I
- 5:32Speaker 5: Oregon in Wisconsin massive college basketball, right, as.
- 5:36Speaker 3: You know, over the years, over the years at IVEN
- 5:39Speaker 3: growing these these bas years. But on the flip side,
- 5:41Speaker 3: it's it's not something to get alarmed about because you know,
- 5:44Speaker 3: these are these the scenarios of which you could lose.
- 5:46Speaker 3: But to your point, I think it does make the
- 5:48Speaker 3: Washington game a little bit bigger because you don't want
- 5:49Speaker 3: to drop two to you know, Teas the sub fifty
- 5:52Speaker 3: a ken palm and net.
- 5:54Speaker 4: But the Badgers and we know this, like if they're
- 5:57Speaker 4: going to shoot twenty five from three they're gonna struggle
- 6:01Speaker 4: be tough. Last night they were fourteen for forty five.
- 6:04Speaker 4: And then compounding that problem with interest was when they
- 6:07Speaker 4: couldn't make a layup either.
- 6:08Speaker 2: They were just clanking shots, you know from close. That's
- 6:12Speaker 2: not good.
- 6:13Speaker 5: Yeah, when you're missing the horrible offensive night like the
- 6:16Speaker 5: Badgers as good as they can look when they're really good,
- 6:19Speaker 5: when the shots aren't falling, it can be a klankathon
- 6:22Speaker 5: and it can get ugly. Yeah, and especially when you're
- 6:23Speaker 5: gonna be much more of an offensive driven team than
- 6:25Speaker 5: they've been for the majority of all that time watch.
- 6:27Speaker 2: I don't think they've won a game.
- 6:29Speaker 4: They struggle to win a game when they don't score
- 6:30Speaker 4: eighty true, very much happy they won a game, like
- 6:33Speaker 4: I have to look it up, but they they gotta
- 6:36Speaker 4: they gotta rev at a certain rpm.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Yeah, they've They've got a number.
- 6:39Speaker 5: Now is the old I don't want to be the
- 6:42Speaker 5: old counting stat guy, and that is twenty wins still
- 6:46Speaker 5: like the the like first benchmark, like you gotta get
- 6:50Speaker 5: in the tournament.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Is that kind of a number? Pretty?
- 6:52Speaker 3: It's I don't I actually don't think so, but I
- 6:55Speaker 3: know I have a lot of buddies that.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Still believe that. Now it's still it's still a number
- 6:59Speaker 2: you want to reach.
- 7:00Speaker 3: But there's so much more of a picture to tell
- 7:02Speaker 3: besides just twenty wins to say, like are you in
- 7:05Speaker 3: the tournament or not? Because there's plenty of teams that
- 7:08Speaker 3: get to twenty wins that aren't gonna get you know,
- 7:10Speaker 3: close to it. And I think if the Badgers, let's
- 7:13Speaker 3: say they lost out right, I mean super doomsday scenario,
- 7:17Speaker 3: I still think they're probably in well, I mean, what
- 7:20Speaker 3: twenty one's in twenty wins in one of the two
- 7:22Speaker 3: or three best conferences, right, I'm not counting.
- 7:25Speaker 5: Akron with their twenty four wins or whatever they might have,
- 7:28Speaker 5: like right, but like they if you're in one of
- 7:30Speaker 5: those spots, it's one of the easier benchmarks. Like in baseball,
- 7:34Speaker 5: I think where the Brewers win lost total is at
- 7:36Speaker 5: eighty six and a half at Potwadamy Sportsbook, Drew. I
- 7:39Speaker 5: think eighty six generally is right around that number that's
- 7:41Speaker 5: probably gonna get you. And sure you might not in
- 7:43Speaker 5: one year, but that usually is a clean If you
- 7:45Speaker 5: ask like Garden, those guys, I bet they still say, yeah,
- 7:48Speaker 5: we got to get.
- 7:48Speaker 2: To twenty eight. And my thing as the Brewers start.
- 7:51Speaker 4: The first goal like they always you want to win
- 7:53Speaker 4: the division, blob I butt. The first goal of the
- 7:55Speaker 4: baseball season is to get to ten over five hundred. Yes,
- 7:58Speaker 4: that is like the first goal for if you're a
- 8:00Speaker 4: good team, totally get to ten over five hundred how
- 8:02Speaker 4: whenever you can, but you want to do as early
- 8:04Speaker 4: as possible. If you do it like in the first half,
- 8:06Speaker 4: you do it in the first two months, that's pretty great, yep,
- 8:08Speaker 4: because that gives you that cushion to survive when you
- 8:11Speaker 4: lose eight out of ten or somewhere where. You know,
- 8:13Speaker 4: if you go on a five game skid, you got
- 8:15Speaker 4: that cushion.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Because it's good, it's gonna happen. It's gonna be baked
- 8:18Speaker 2: into the season.
- 8:18Speaker 5: You you're gonna have to and then you know, you
- 8:20Speaker 5: look at you look at the you're right here. On
- 8:22Speaker 5: the Badgers, I did the numbers here, Drew. They've won
- 8:25Speaker 5: two games where they haven't scored eighty points, both against Minnesota,
- 8:29Speaker 5: So every other win they've had has been eighty.
- 8:33Speaker 4: They have to be rolling, they got to be hitting shots.
- 8:35Speaker 4: So yeah, I still like them though, and I still think, yeah, agree,
- 8:38Speaker 4: I still think they're a dangerous Yeah, this change is nothing.
- 8:40Speaker 4: Black and Boyd are going to be a handful for everybody. Yeah,
- 8:44Speaker 4: they're gonna be good and now again like they have
- 8:47Speaker 4: if they miss shots and it's just not rolling some days,
- 8:49Speaker 4: and that's true for any Sometimes some days it just
- 8:51Speaker 4: feels like you get shoes on the wrong feet.
- 8:53Speaker 2: So it was just not there.
- 8:54Speaker 5: Have you have you did you ever have a night
- 8:56Speaker 5: where you were Saint John's what do they miss their
- 8:57Speaker 5: last twenty seven shots?
- 8:59Speaker 2: Last night? It was they put up forty points in
- 9:01Speaker 2: a forty minute day.
- 9:02Speaker 3: That was the John Starks game seven line ninety four.
- 9:05Speaker 3: You're like, oh for seventeen, oh for seventeen?
- 9:07Speaker 2: Yeah, the seven.
- 9:09Speaker 3: Yeah, there are nights like that when you do depend
- 9:11Speaker 3: on the three. I mean the badger shot. I think
- 9:13Speaker 3: forty five threes last night. That's just the way it
- 9:16Speaker 3: is when you depend on it. And there is let's
- 9:17Speaker 3: say it together, kids, three point variants.
- 9:19Speaker 2: You know, I love that. Sorry, I would say this.
- 9:22Speaker 3: The one thing that that the twenty wins is a
- 9:25Speaker 3: good benchmark.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Let's just put this.
- 9:26Speaker 3: It won't guarantee you anything, but it's still good benchmark.
- 9:28Speaker 3: Part of the reason is it's out moded is like
- 9:30Speaker 3: you just play so many more games than you used
- 9:32Speaker 3: to in college basketball. I mean you're almost up to
- 9:34Speaker 3: about forty games by the time the tournament hits.
- 9:37Speaker 2: That's just the way it is now.
- 9:38Speaker 3: But you know it's still a great benchmark to hit,
- 9:40Speaker 3: and the Badgers should get We had.
- 9:41Speaker 4: To watch, you know, we had to watch highlights and
- 9:43Speaker 4: just look at the box score and read it because you know,
- 9:45Speaker 4: ten o'clock tip. Now I'm wondering, like, is there anybody
- 9:48Speaker 4: up right now at six ten am? And who was
- 9:53Speaker 4: up till the end of that game? Yes, that was
- 9:56Speaker 4: a slog. It started at ten. And if you stayed
- 9:58Speaker 4: up and watched the Badgers shoot, you just might be
- 10:02Speaker 4: a super fan. I was gonna see probably get recognized
- 10:05Speaker 4: you on the last home game of the season. They
- 10:07Speaker 4: should walk you out to center court and give you
- 10:09Speaker 4: like a sweatshirt or something appreciation.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Yes, season, taking hold of the game. Fan of the game. Yeah,
- 10:14Speaker 2: you should be a fan of the millennium. Yeah, there
- 10:16Speaker 2: it is, Mike Witt.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Were you because Mike Witt was talking Badgers with us
- 10:19Speaker 3: this morning in the comments.
- 10:20Speaker 2: He's up there there on the screen. Now, howdy boys.
- 10:22Speaker 3: When Bucky Les, I don't know if he was, though
- 10:25Speaker 3: Dobbler as well, of course always involved. He's got a
- 10:27Speaker 3: little ghost emoji with what happened to the Badgers, So
- 10:30Speaker 3: you know these Hey, sometimes there are nights like that, guys,
- 10:33Speaker 3: but it's.
- 10:33Speaker 5: Gonna play on words, what the duck happened with that? Agree,
- 10:36Speaker 5: I do really appreciate he was waiting for that one
- 10:38Speaker 5: all night. Yeah, but but I don't know if that
- 10:40Speaker 5: means they're up to watch. So if you were up watching,
- 10:41Speaker 5: let us know.
- 10:42Speaker 4: So Arman as a big East guy, where do you
- 10:45Speaker 4: I mean, you're cheering against both teams, but Yukon Saint
- 10:47Speaker 4: John's with Saint John's like their worst loss ever under Patino, right.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tough one for me, worst loss to Yukon.
- 10:55Speaker 3: It's a tough one for me because you know, you
- 10:58Speaker 3: guys know my personal animosity with Providence.
- 11:00Speaker 2: Now, who's a disaster anyway, So that's nice to see.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Also, Matt, definitely, I would say this year their situation
- 11:08Speaker 3: is a little different because I don't think they're confident
- 11:09Speaker 3: their coach. But yeah, absolutely, and I would say Yukon
- 11:14Speaker 3: is a team that has always been really good and
- 11:16Speaker 3: Hurley is easy to kind of get annoyed with. But
- 11:19Speaker 3: over the years, I've also had that with Patino, so
- 11:21Speaker 3: it's really hard to differentiate between the two for me.
- 11:24Speaker 3: And I've actually grown to like Patino more over the years.
- 11:27Speaker 3: And I always think like Dan Hurley's personality is sort
- 11:31Speaker 3: of like he's croning with the championships, so it's like
- 11:34Speaker 3: he's the East Coast cronan, like short, little snarky, annoying guy,
- 11:39Speaker 3: but he has one national title, so you can't really
- 11:41Speaker 3: see anything.
- 11:42Speaker 2: So do I want to see either of them do really?
- 11:45Speaker 3: Well, not really, but I guess Patino is is less
- 11:49Speaker 3: bothersome to me than he used to be, so it
- 11:51Speaker 3: would be nice to see Yukon take it a little bit.
- 11:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely.
- 11:54Speaker 4: I went through a stretch Drew where I despise I
- 11:57Speaker 4: was despising Danny Hurley.
- 11:59Speaker 2: Yeah, really really hate Now. I do kind of appreciate
- 12:03Speaker 2: where he's just like, yeah, I get it, you don't
- 12:06Speaker 2: like me. I won twice fuck it.
- 12:08Speaker 5: Like I do kind of appreciate that he's like, I
- 12:10Speaker 5: don't know what you're gonna say to me that's gonna
- 12:12Speaker 5: upset me. Probably nothing. I'll make it look like I'm
- 12:14Speaker 5: very very offended and very very annoyed with you. But
- 12:17Speaker 5: you're you're not going to be able to say anything
- 12:19Speaker 5: to me that's gonna upset.
- 12:20Speaker 3: And there's something about Patino like being like the whole
- 12:22Speaker 3: career arc that just like the Calipari, they both had
- 12:25Speaker 3: like similar career arcs, like like brash young hotshots in college,
- 12:29Speaker 3: had a lot of success, went to the NBA for
- 12:31Speaker 3: an East Coast team, didn't do well, had to take
- 12:34Speaker 3: their legs, go back to big time college teams did well. Patino,
- 12:37Speaker 3: you know, goes to the Battalion restaurant with the lady whatever.
- 12:41Speaker 2: He's banished, she has to go to Iona.
- 12:42Speaker 3: I guess it's like this this Kuyxote and your journey
- 12:46Speaker 3: that they had to go through, And it is sort
- 12:48Speaker 3: of interesting to see, like now these are the old
- 12:50Speaker 3: guys that we're gonna sit there and.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Say, oh, the old guard is leaving. You know, one
- 12:53Speaker 2: day we're gonna sit around saying like, oh the old boys, Like.
- 12:56Speaker 5: Did Calipari become lovable after he left Kentucky?
- 13:01Speaker 2: Maybe Morsel and Warsaw, Yeah, Warso.
- 13:03Speaker 5: I mean like the then Bergen, the big bright right
- 13:06Speaker 5: bull suits are fun.
- 13:07Speaker 3: Yeah, they went they both went to Kentucky. Bold left Kentucky.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Is just a funny thing.
- 13:11Speaker 2: But you kind of just agent too it.
- 13:12Speaker 4: We talked about that where Izzo's now your grandpa who
- 13:16Speaker 4: just he's out of bleeps to give and he just
- 13:18Speaker 4: like he's just lays it out there and.
- 13:20Speaker 2: That's is gonna be Isz. That's what like Patino these days,
- 13:23Speaker 2: well to some extent.
- 13:25Speaker 4: Hasn't job hopped, yes, and he doesn't have a history
- 13:27Speaker 4: in an Italian restaurant. I think that was Portese or
- 13:33Speaker 4: the recruiting uh practice would have been under his watch
- 13:36Speaker 4: too about that, didn't know anything about n't didn't has
- 13:42Speaker 4: been the eight final fours and everybody says you don't
- 13:44Speaker 4: want to play them in March. They're always dialed in
- 13:46Speaker 4: and stuff. And they haven't won a title since two thousand.
- 13:49Speaker 4: That's crazy, Like they're going twenty five years without the
- 13:52Speaker 4: big prize.
- 13:53Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not a Michigan State fan, but
- 13:55Speaker 2: is there are people like this isn't good enough?
- 13:57Speaker 5: Oh no, I think that right, that's fair. I wonder
- 14:01Speaker 5: I wonder if that would be the case. But just
- 14:02Speaker 5: because they're so good on the second game, like that
- 14:05Speaker 5: was always the craziest one to me is like the
- 14:08Speaker 5: forty eight hour turnaround. They dominate. If they win the
- 14:11Speaker 5: first game, they'll get themselves out of the weekend, which
- 14:14Speaker 5: is fine.
- 14:14Speaker 2: That's why I stuck.
- 14:15Speaker 3: When I saw Marquette and that uh seven pairing, my
- 14:19Speaker 3: stomach dropped because you're like, okay, you're two seven against
- 14:22Speaker 3: Michigan State, but trying to beat that even it was
- 14:24Speaker 3: one of Market's best teams, and you know, the cold
- 14:27Speaker 3: play bad It is tough.
- 14:28Speaker 5: If the Badgers are on that seven ten line, are
- 14:30Speaker 5: they the are they the worry to one of those
- 14:33Speaker 5: I think in there, I don't think you ever want
- 14:35Speaker 5: to see the Badgers the way they can play, the
- 14:37Speaker 5: way they can shoot and get hot.
- 14:38Speaker 4: Yeah, so the Badgers were clanking last night. They shoot
- 14:40Speaker 4: thirty two or thirty three percent or whatever they're they're clanking.
- 14:43Speaker 4: They have an off night. They can reset and get
- 14:45Speaker 4: right if they throttle Washington. You hope that's what happens.
- 14:48Speaker 4: Bucks keep winning though, and as a you see it
- 14:51Speaker 4: and you're just like, all right, that's that's great, Like, oh,
- 14:53Speaker 4: look at you know Kevin Porter Junior A Force rounds
- 14:56Speaker 4: has been good all year, all year. Marco Simms like
- 14:59Speaker 4: Miles who doubleto Sims double double and he's a he's
- 15:03Speaker 4: an elevator man getting the you know, he's got his
- 15:05Speaker 4: hand up at the top of the window, like you
- 15:07Speaker 4: know in alley oops and stuff.
- 15:09Speaker 2: But is this a good thing? Should they?
- 15:10Speaker 4: Would it be better for the overall health of the
- 15:12Speaker 4: franchise if they were tanking games the way the rest
- 15:14Speaker 4: of the league is. You watch some of the highlights
- 15:16Speaker 4: or actually low lights, remember, and it's a couple of
- 15:19Speaker 4: weeks away when I dump on one shining moment, but
- 15:22Speaker 4: remember that the dumb shining moment that the montage with
- 15:26Speaker 4: the video game music of the low lights of the
- 15:28Speaker 4: NCAA tournament, like guys kicking the ball all over and
- 15:31Speaker 4: guys running into each other. And you know, I see
- 15:34Speaker 4: highlights like that all over the league of teams just
- 15:36Speaker 4: being inept and the team's not really even trying to win.
- 15:40Speaker 2: And I'm like, shouldn't the Bucks be in that camp?
- 15:42Speaker 4: Or are they doing being smart? Because they should make
- 15:45Speaker 4: the playoffs. Get Gianni's back, have him in an atmosphere
- 15:47Speaker 4: where he feels good about KPJ and Cam Thomas and
- 15:50Speaker 4: Jericho Sims, Like, what's the mission for the Bucks, like,
- 15:54Speaker 4: let's get into the playoffs, because that used to be it.
- 15:57Speaker 4: That's when they were in CBA purgatory under the herb
- 15:59Speaker 4: Co was like, let's just get in and make a
- 16:01Speaker 4: series and then we'll get a crappy draft pick and
- 16:04Speaker 4: next year we'll do the same thing.
- 16:05Speaker 5: I think the problem the difference is Drew Like those
- 16:08Speaker 5: teams that were in that purgatory were then trying to
- 16:11Speaker 5: figure out how do we find the star? Right, you
- 16:13Speaker 5: have the star, you're trying to get him back at
- 16:15Speaker 5: right and you're trying to keep him. And I think,
- 16:17Speaker 5: like with the building, winning habits is something that I
- 16:19Speaker 5: still never will will excuse as a as a meaningful
- 16:23Speaker 5: thing in sports, because I still think Philadelphia is still
- 16:26Speaker 5: trying to figure their way out of the paper bag
- 16:28Speaker 5: of admitting the fact that they're going to lose and
- 16:31Speaker 5: be okay with it. Like that just that seeps into
- 16:33Speaker 5: the organization. I never will find it and want to
- 16:38Speaker 5: lose games, especially when it means like the Trey Young
- 16:41Speaker 5: video the other day, he comes back to Atlanta, big moment.
- 16:44Speaker 5: He's one of the better Hawks of all time. I
- 16:47Speaker 5: didn't realize that he's in the mix. He's in the mix,
- 16:49Speaker 5: Peo more crying in the stands when the guy that
- 16:51Speaker 5: was holding the flat he was holding a tray young
- 16:53Speaker 5: jersey his wife and tears away. His wife gave him
- 16:55Speaker 5: a little out of boy, like hey, it's okay, It's
- 16:57Speaker 5: gonna be all right.
- 16:58Speaker 2: I mean, he represented hope for them for a while.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Eight years. There were two games away from the NBA Finals,
- 17:02Speaker 2: you know, like, and he was an All Star, and
- 17:05Speaker 2: he was an All Star. He was a guy. He
- 17:07Speaker 2: had the celebrations.
- 17:09Speaker 5: And he comes back and he's watching the tribute video
- 17:11Speaker 5: and my man's like a healthy scratch because the Wizards
- 17:14Speaker 5: traded for him and they're like, yeah, we want him
- 17:18Speaker 5: for twenty.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Six, twenty seven. Yeah, we we can't do this. We
- 17:20Speaker 2: can do this now.
- 17:21Speaker 5: Like, so that part of it I just can't be
- 17:23Speaker 5: okay with. True to the point, like, if you come
- 17:26Speaker 5: out of this season with anything, whether it's the ninth
- 17:29Speaker 5: pick or the fourteenth pick, if it means that you
- 17:32Speaker 5: have two players that you think are legitimate pieces rolling
- 17:36Speaker 5: forward that can keep you honest, that to me is
- 17:38Speaker 5: way better than seven spots in the clearly, you know.
- 17:40Speaker 4: If you read the tea leaves and like you ignore
- 17:43Speaker 4: the chatter from Windy and Chams and all those guys.
- 17:49Speaker 4: It would seem the way the Bucks are approaching things
- 17:51Speaker 4: is that their goal is to convince.
- 17:53Speaker 2: You honest to sign the extension. Totally agree.
- 17:55Speaker 4: So they're going into that like they're not thinking. Because
- 17:57Speaker 4: if their plan was to trade honest and get what
- 17:59Speaker 4: they could and do a rebuild, they're doing it wrong,
- 18:02Speaker 4: you know, by winning these games, and you know they're
- 18:05Speaker 4: hiding them themselves in that. But I've said before and
- 18:08Speaker 4: I'm going to be on the Sports Roundtable today Spectrum Sports,
- 18:11Speaker 4: Billy's got it with you guys. Yeah, Billy's got a commitment.
- 18:15Speaker 4: So we can't make it, but uh, we'll probably talk
- 18:19Speaker 4: about this. And the thing is, and you look at
- 18:21Speaker 4: John Horst and he get he did get camp time,
- 18:24Speaker 4: he got KPJ right, got Ryan Rellinds, they've they've he's
- 18:27Speaker 4: he's done a decent job. Like the Dame thing didn't
- 18:30Speaker 4: work out, Lebron Lucas not working out, that's fair, and
- 18:33Speaker 4: so the Dame thing didn't work out, but they had
- 18:35Speaker 4: to take that swing.
- 18:37Speaker 2: Anybody who pines and says they should have kept.
- 18:38Speaker 4: They wouldn't have won with d reality again, we saw
- 18:41Speaker 4: dreality get cooked in the by Jimmy. But yeah, I'm
- 18:45Speaker 4: glad somebody else saw what we were all watching series
- 18:48Speaker 4: thank you, So they weren't gonna win there so But
- 18:51Speaker 4: John horse job number one job is to win a title. Actually,
- 18:53Speaker 4: his number one job is to keep you honest in
- 18:55Speaker 4: town to let them win a title. So keeping Giannis
- 18:57Speaker 4: happy is his number one job. And he has done
- 18:59Speaker 4: that I agree with very well. So he has done
- 19:02Speaker 4: his job. He hasn't won a title since the one
- 19:05Speaker 4: that they won, but that to me, in if they
- 19:07Speaker 4: keep you honest, and we talked about it before, intellectually,
- 19:10Speaker 4: I say they should probably get ready honest and rebuild.
- 19:13Speaker 2: He's thirty two, he's on the decline. He's got the
- 19:15Speaker 2: beginning of the decline. Three years of nagging calf injuries
- 19:18Speaker 2: could be a question.
- 19:19Speaker 4: But he means too much of the city and the franchise,
- 19:21Speaker 4: and they've got season ticket holder renewals up, and they
- 19:24Speaker 4: got sponsorships, and he means too much. He's the life
- 19:27Speaker 4: flout of the franchise and keeping him and then not
- 19:29Speaker 4: winning a championship is better than tearing down and maybe
- 19:32Speaker 4: winning a title with a hope in a payer of
- 19:33Speaker 4: five years from now.
- 19:34Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I think they figure maybe also their best
- 19:37Speaker 3: chance to try and get back to the promised Land
- 19:40Speaker 3: is trying to keep and get healthy and right a
- 19:42Speaker 3: top twenty five player of all time, then trying to
- 19:45Speaker 3: just tank and hope you can find one in the draft.
- 19:47Speaker 3: And so it might happen, but maybe they figure, Okay,
- 19:50Speaker 3: our chances are lowered to do.
- 19:51Speaker 5: I also wonder, guys, if the organization's history leads and
- 19:54Speaker 5: lends itself to this as all or at all as well,
- 19:57Speaker 5: Like where was sure Kareem's the number one overall pick.
- 20:00Speaker 5: That's a different story, that's a different piece. But they
- 20:02Speaker 5: picked the honest out of the crowd at thirteen. Their
- 20:05Speaker 5: number two overall pick, who we thought Jabari was potentially
- 20:09Speaker 5: going to be better ended up never really being able
- 20:11Speaker 5: to be a factor for you in the competitive windows.
- 20:13Speaker 5: So like look at Oklahoma City, everybody uses them as
- 20:16Speaker 5: the model of tanking.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Drew. They traded away a lot of good players they did.
- 20:21Speaker 5: The one that they got ended up being the best
- 20:23Speaker 5: player that they've had all of them. And and I
- 20:26Speaker 5: think Chet's the only guy that's picked above six or seven.
- 20:30Speaker 5: Like Jalen Williams was a twelfth. Overall, that's a good point.
- 20:33Speaker 5: Like the number of guys they had were in the
- 20:35Speaker 5: middle of the round.
- 20:38Speaker 4: I've changed the paradigm though, and the Luca Lebron thing
- 20:41Speaker 4: like the other night, like Luca has a look, a
- 20:43Speaker 4: last look and passes to Lebron.
- 20:44Speaker 2: And they fail. Weird heave. I think there I heard
- 20:52Speaker 2: the other day.
- 20:53Speaker 4: I think they're like minus eighty when Luca and Lebron
- 20:55Speaker 4: are on the court together. It's just it's not working. No,
- 20:58Speaker 4: you can't.
- 20:59Speaker 2: It was a good idea in theory, but it ain't.
- 21:01Speaker 4: Work, which is funny because Damon Giannis never got the chemistry.
- 21:05Speaker 2: No, but they were also not healthy a lot together.
- 21:07Speaker 3: True, everyone said that their ratings when they were on
- 21:10Speaker 3: the court the other were super good and super high,
- 21:11Speaker 3: so it's kind of interesting. I think it does make
- 21:14Speaker 3: it a little if you've decided, as the Bucks, we're
- 21:16Speaker 3: gonna try and keep you on asign the extension.
- 21:18Speaker 2: And then you know, if you take him at his.
- 21:20Speaker 3: Word that he wants to see a winner out of
- 21:23Speaker 3: the group they have, he wants to see potential to win.
- 21:25Speaker 2: So it makes it easy a decision.
- 21:27Speaker 3: Why say, all right, then we're gonna try and do
- 21:28Speaker 3: all we can to win games, right, everything, like we said,
- 21:31Speaker 3: serves our purpose to do that.
- 21:32Speaker 4: Like we've said, when John Horst, he's creative, he's he's
- 21:36Speaker 4: like stealth. He makes things happen, and you give him
- 21:38Speaker 4: picks and money to play with, he's.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Look out, he might cook.
- 21:42Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think you go into this offseason now,
- 21:44Speaker 4: I'm thinking, well, what can we get for Miles Turner?
- 21:47Speaker 4: What package can we get to to move Myles Turner
- 21:49Speaker 4: to a team that needs a big fellow because that
- 21:51Speaker 4: hasn't worked out much practice jerseys.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Yeah, and then who said that Krispy.
- 21:55Speaker 4: Kremes he had a fifteen point he hit one, three out,
- 22:01Speaker 4: very excited.
- 22:03Speaker 2: It's all excited like.
- 22:05Speaker 4: He's a little expensive to be a role guy and
- 22:08Speaker 4: sports gas a little shaking.
- 22:12Speaker 2: Let's go.
- 22:12Speaker 4: He did come a little bit, doctor Johnny came back there,
- 22:18Speaker 4: Johnny Sorry, oh my god, tables Basic War. When we
- 22:22Speaker 4: come back, it's halftime of the Thursday edition. Scott Dolphin
- 22:26Speaker 4: is going to join us for a little fresh air
- 22:28Speaker 4: and we'll make our adjustments and be right back at you.
- 22:30Speaker 4: It's The Huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin for the Thursday
- 22:39Speaker 4: edition of The Huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew Billy
- 22:43Speaker 4: and Arman bringing it to you nine to twenty Milwaukee,
- 22:45Speaker 4: ten seventy Madison and we welcome our pal Scott Dolphin.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Our halftime reporter from the conversation on the hall.
- 22:50Speaker 6: Hello, Dolph, Billy Armand's playing Jake Owen because we were
- 22:53Speaker 6: just talking in the kitchen that Jake is headlining the
- 22:56Speaker 6: Christian Yellwich Homeplay charity event which is at that new venue,
- 23:01Speaker 6: Landmark Credit Union Live, which is being open tomorrow night
- 23:04Speaker 6: on the Deer District. But Jake's headlining that along with
- 23:07Speaker 6: the lead singer the Frey whose name escapes me right now,
- 23:09Speaker 6: and Charlie Barns will be there too.
- 23:11Speaker 2: I didn't realize he was coming to town.
- 23:12Speaker 3: We saw him at Summerfest, and I want to say
- 23:14Speaker 3: it was during Colvid movie.
- 23:16Speaker 2: That was a huge show. That was the Fall Summerfest.
- 23:18Speaker 2: The Fall Summer Fest.
- 23:20Speaker 3: I remember because I had a bad a hoodie on
- 23:21Speaker 3: and all that, and uh well, I guess you can
- 23:24Speaker 3: sometimes have that in the summer too, down by the lake.
- 23:26Speaker 3: And it was a great, great show. I remember in
- 23:28Speaker 3: the pit by you guys. It was awesome.
- 23:30Speaker 6: I remember freezing so cold one night I may have
- 23:32Speaker 6: told the story before. White Snake was playing the U
- 23:35Speaker 6: Line stage, which is on the far north end of
- 23:37Speaker 6: the grounds. There's a drastic weather change from the south
- 23:40Speaker 6: end of the Summerfest grounds the end of the ground. Amen,
- 23:41Speaker 6: And I remember David Coverdale White Snake. One night they
- 23:44Speaker 6: played like for thirty five minutes, and he said, and
- 23:47Speaker 6: they're ripping through all the hits and they end the
- 23:48Speaker 6: show and he goes, I'm sorry, Milwaukee, I'm so bleeping cold, and.
- 23:52Speaker 2: He walked off the stage. That was it was over.
- 23:55Speaker 2: He couldn't put a jacket out and keep the show.
- 23:58Speaker 4: He had a scarf on and we had a jacket on,
- 24:00Speaker 4: but he was he had had enough. We needed to
- 24:02Speaker 4: get a space heater out there for him. Right.
- 24:04Speaker 3: Don't they have a countdown, guys and Drew, you know
- 24:06Speaker 3: this on the stages for how long they have to
- 24:08Speaker 3: play it somewhere?
- 24:09Speaker 4: How does that work when you're doing it? Yeah, a
- 24:10Speaker 4: lot of times they have a little clock somewhere on
- 24:12Speaker 4: the stage. Well, they get a lot more angry when
- 24:14Speaker 4: you go over. Oh yeah, if you're the headliner, it's
- 24:17Speaker 4: like you're okay. But if you're one of those openers. Yeah,
- 24:19Speaker 4: I got off yeah, because you know yeah, her boy
- 24:24Speaker 4: KB played that and I was, you know, guitar teching
- 24:27Speaker 4: and stuff, and the stage mat would be next to me.
- 24:28Speaker 4: Get them off, no more songs, this is it? Get
- 24:31Speaker 4: them off? Yeah, change it over. It's got a pressure.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, no doubt.
- 24:36Speaker 6: I can't imagine what it would be like to run
- 24:37Speaker 6: that place, because you also have I remember one year,
- 24:40Speaker 6: this years ago, we had Keith Urban on one of
- 24:42Speaker 6: the stages and Ray Charles was playing the stage next door, Wow,
- 24:45Speaker 6: And they held Keith until Ray was done or until
- 24:48Speaker 6: he had started, and people are like, let's go. The
- 24:51Speaker 6: show's twenty minutes late, and they had no idea that.
- 24:54Speaker 6: And I remember Urban saying I want to go out there,
- 24:56Speaker 6: and some of the stage match said, if you go
- 24:57Speaker 6: out there, you don't get paid.
- 25:00Speaker 2: That'll change it. Yeah, that'll change the check.
- 25:02Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what happened with Ohio State in Iowa last night.
- 25:05Speaker 4: They went long, forcing the Badger's ten pm tip to
- 25:09Speaker 4: be delayed.
- 25:09Speaker 6: Ye like yeah, like you're ten o'clock start isn't late enough?
- 25:13Speaker 2: And then are two souls here on the text line
- 25:17Speaker 2: or four one four?
- 25:17Speaker 3: Ye?
- 25:17Speaker 2: I was there to the bitter end. There's gonna be
- 25:19Speaker 2: a long day. But what made it.
- 25:20Speaker 5: Worse is that stupid Iowa Ohio state that pushed it back.
- 25:23Speaker 4: And we were just saying that anybody who stayed up
- 25:25Speaker 4: to the end of that game and then is listening
- 25:27Speaker 4: to us, now, you're a First of all, you're a psychopath,
- 25:29Speaker 4: and we're proud of you. You're sleep deprived, and you
- 25:31Speaker 4: also should be recognized at halftime of the last game
- 25:34Speaker 4: of the Coal Center, like for for watching the Badgers
- 25:37Speaker 4: shoot thirty percent and lose a clunker.
- 25:40Speaker 3: So I was gonna say, isn't it better? You're already
- 25:41Speaker 3: up late, so you might as well make it ten
- 25:43Speaker 3: more minutes later. You know, at that point it doesn't matter, right.
- 25:46Speaker 5: I just I would I would disagree with that, but
- 25:48Speaker 5: I like that, dude, math, that is some great dude.
- 25:51Speaker 2: This is already up, so I might as well stay
- 25:53Speaker 2: up even later.
- 25:54Speaker 4: You could have flown out of Milwaukee at like six
- 25:56Speaker 4: o'clock and made it in time for the second.
- 26:00Speaker 5: Tweets saying that, like, I think I could fly there.
- 26:02Speaker 5: Obviously get a ticket because it doesn't look like there's
- 26:04Speaker 5: a whole lot of folks in that in that spot.
- 26:06Speaker 6: And welcome to the new Big Ten. I mean, that's
- 26:08Speaker 6: your new normal. Now, at least one trip a year,
- 26:10Speaker 6: you're gonna be having ten o'clock starts on a weeknight.
- 26:14Speaker 6: And I remember I was in the Dominican a couple
- 26:15Speaker 6: weeks ago when Iowa did that same leg Eugene on
- 26:18Speaker 6: a on a Wednesday night, and that in the Dominican
- 26:20Speaker 6: that started at midnight. The funny part about that is
- 26:23Speaker 6: I woke up early the next morning to get and
- 26:26Speaker 6: and the game was still on my device. I actually
- 26:28Speaker 6: watched the end of that game and the Dominican as
- 26:29Speaker 6: I was getting ready for the morning show.
- 26:31Speaker 5: You gotta ask, You got to ask your brother, because
- 26:33Speaker 5: it's one of my favorite parts of the Big Ten,
- 26:35Speaker 5: the new Big Ten now. And last night we celebrated
- 26:38Speaker 5: the Venmo rivalry series, the Big Ten rivalry series between
- 26:41Speaker 5: Oregon and Wisconsin, the long time rivals. I gotta see
- 26:44Speaker 5: if he's noticed it on all the courts and fields
- 26:46Speaker 5: that he goes to, because once they put it on,
- 26:48Speaker 5: I think they just keep it there.
- 26:49Speaker 2: So I just would love to know if maybe it's just.
- 26:52Speaker 5: Me who used to love in the NBA when it
- 26:55Speaker 5: was the playoffs and they actually put the sticker of
- 26:58Speaker 5: the NBA playoffs right there on the side, right like
- 27:00Speaker 5: they actually had this stuff here on the floor.
- 27:02Speaker 2: They just keep that on the field.
- 27:03Speaker 5: They're like, hey, we're always rivals because everybody knows the
- 27:07Speaker 5: biggest game is today's game at the big time.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Oh, I thought it was funny last night.
- 27:10Speaker 6: I saw the commercial with it was at Matt Leinert
- 27:12Speaker 6: and who was the USA soccer star Carli Lloyd. Lloyd Yes,
- 27:17Speaker 6: And Matt Lyer says, well, you know, now we can
- 27:19Speaker 6: watch all our favorite Big Ten games together. And I'm thinking,
- 27:22Speaker 6: you never played in the Big Ten and neither did she. Well,
- 27:24Speaker 6: she went to Rutgers, but at the time it was
- 27:26Speaker 6: in the early nineteen nineties. So it's just a trip
- 27:28Speaker 6: how they're trying to make this thing happen. But I'll
- 27:30Speaker 6: have to ask my brother. I know he has his
- 27:32Speaker 6: favorite and least favorite Big Ten places to fly to.
- 27:36Speaker 4: I know Penn State is at the bottom. That's got
- 27:38Speaker 4: to be right at the bottom to fly into, no doubt. Well,
- 27:41Speaker 4: and Eugene's got to be tough.
- 27:42Speaker 2: It's just so far, like you don't realize just how
- 27:45Speaker 2: west that place actually it is.
- 27:46Speaker 6: Up there it is, and you know, and then you
- 27:48Speaker 6: go to Seattle after this, so at least you get,
- 27:50Speaker 6: you know, a little big city field.
- 27:51Speaker 2: But yeah, you're right, Eugene is feeling like going to
- 27:53Speaker 2: the end of the girl.
- 27:54Speaker 3: When it comes to the worst places to go in
- 27:56Speaker 3: the big ten, those are the best things that ever
- 27:58Speaker 3: happened to perdue.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Because then worst Loafia is not in the rankings anymore. Yeah,
- 28:03Speaker 2: it is. Basically last night what happened was Nike throttled
- 28:06Speaker 2: under armour.
- 28:07Speaker 3: Yeah, basically that's what it was. I mean, if you
- 28:09Speaker 3: want to go by the shou game, you.
- 28:11Speaker 2: Know, like I couldn't.
- 28:13Speaker 6: I was really quite surprised when you see that Wisconsin
- 28:15Speaker 6: team on Sunday against Iowa, and you mentioned you take
- 28:20Speaker 6: your you take a bet on them against anybody in
- 28:22Speaker 6: the NCAA tournament. But this is the reason why they
- 28:25Speaker 6: can't get that net ranking higher is because they follow
- 28:28Speaker 6: an incredible win two top ten wins a couple of
- 28:30Speaker 6: weeks ago with the disappointing lost Ohio State. And now
- 28:32Speaker 6: you do the same thing going to Oregon, one of
- 28:34Speaker 6: the worst teams in the league. When they don't make shots,
- 28:36Speaker 6: it can get ugly.
- 28:37Speaker 3: Yeah, thirty three, and well, like a team like Oregon
- 28:40Speaker 3: who really hasn't been that great offensively all year. They
- 28:43Speaker 3: have a fifty times point a half. I mean, what
- 28:45Speaker 3: are you gonna do?
- 28:46Speaker 2: Yeah, they shot seventy percent of the team. Just gets
- 28:47Speaker 2: crazy hot. They get crazy hot, you know, just tip
- 28:50Speaker 2: your cap.
- 28:50Speaker 4: All right, Dolf, we got to put a quarter and
- 28:52Speaker 4: ask what you thought of the Brewers social media extravaganza
- 28:55Speaker 4: with Miseroski exploding an apple off a Cooper Pratz.
- 28:58Speaker 6: Hright, all right, it was at Ai. That was my
- 29:01Speaker 6: first question, just craftily edited. Okay, not Ai. Okay, See
- 29:05Speaker 6: immediately my brain now goes to what's real and what's
- 29:08Speaker 6: not anymore, where you.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Should be should be skeptical. We were talking about that earlier.
- 29:12Speaker 4: Be skeptical of everything, think everything's fake until proven of exactly.
- 29:15Speaker 6: I was so impressed with that. I don't know if
- 29:17Speaker 6: you saw what Shannon and I did down the hall,
- 29:19Speaker 6: but we recreated that.
- 29:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:20Speaker 5: Actually because my wife said, why are you guys not
- 29:23Speaker 5: doing more cool stuff like Scott China.
- 29:25Speaker 2: It is not not Dolph that's doing the cool stuff.
- 29:27Speaker 2: It's all Shannon.
- 29:28Speaker 5: Well listen, you're getting Dolph. I want you to know
- 29:30Speaker 5: you're getting a lot of the credit as well. The
- 29:33Speaker 5: TikTok fame is rolling over to Scott Dolphin. As much
- 29:36Speaker 5: as Shannon probably deserves more of the credit, it seems
- 29:39Speaker 5: like the highlight is coming towards Scott Dolph. I really
- 29:41Speaker 5: appreciate that we need to create a Huddle TikTok account.
- 29:43Speaker 2: We probably should. It kind of seems like it I
- 29:45Speaker 2: was getting dunked on at home, were.
- 29:47Speaker 3: Well, well.
- 29:50Speaker 2: This is all Shannon. Okay, here it is. If you
- 29:53Speaker 2: can get it, Oh there, it is perfect.
- 29:58Speaker 6: You got it first try and then what you're not
- 30:02Speaker 6: real what's not in that edit is I crippled. I
- 30:05Speaker 6: buckled to the floor with rotator cuff paint, because that's
- 30:08Speaker 6: I love it. My shoulders one pitch in me.
- 30:12Speaker 2: All fantasy campers, what's funny about that? And what you said?
- 30:15Speaker 3: Your wife said, Billy, But what's funny about that is
- 30:17Speaker 3: that's true. Now for like every other you know, social
- 30:20Speaker 3: media team in baseball, their bosses are saying, why can't
- 30:22Speaker 3: you do it?
- 30:23Speaker 2: They're doing do it. That's what we need to be doing.
- 30:25Speaker 3: So this is the worst thing that happened to the
- 30:27Speaker 3: employees every Now they're feeling everybody's.
- 30:29Speaker 4: Like, you know, we need a Harlem shake. Craze that
- 30:32Speaker 4: everybody can glomb onto right, try to.
- 30:35Speaker 3: Create because there's nothing worse down the street has a mercy,
- 30:38Speaker 3: It's nothing.
- 30:39Speaker 4: Worse than trying to make something Like the Brewers knew
- 30:41Speaker 4: this was going to be here, This is gonna because
- 30:43Speaker 4: they had workshop and you watch Jay R. Ratcliffe has
- 30:45Speaker 4: a story about how they did it. They practiced it
- 30:47Speaker 4: at amp fam you know, in the concourse. But it's like,
- 30:51Speaker 4: if you try to do something that's gonna go viral,
- 30:53Speaker 4: it's always going to be a turd. Yeah, of course
- 30:55Speaker 4: if you try it. But if you you know, just
- 30:57Speaker 4: make good content and hope that's something hit. It's normally
- 31:00Speaker 4: the most random things that end up exactly. I mean,
- 31:03Speaker 4: you think you know through the years, Uh was it
- 31:05Speaker 4: Charlie bit my finger?
- 31:06Speaker 2: What else is big?
- 31:07Speaker 3: Uh?
- 31:08Speaker 2: Yeah? Can I bet that dog Charlie? Yeah? They bet me.
- 31:17Speaker 3: Video?
- 31:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 31:19Speaker 4: Well, and then our all time favorite that we play
- 31:20Speaker 4: every summer Backup Terry Terry Left.
- 31:24Speaker 3: The Louisiana Leprechaun or the album and Saint Patrick's Day,
- 31:28Speaker 3: The Leprechaun and the Tree.
- 31:29Speaker 2: You guys remember that. I remember that one one of
- 31:31Speaker 2: the great early ones.
- 31:32Speaker 3: But those are like real things that happened, like, You're right,
- 31:35Speaker 3: you can't plan it out sometimes.
- 31:37Speaker 6: So I'm glad to know that that was actually the
- 31:39Speaker 6: miss because immediately, you know, my cynical play is going
- 31:42Speaker 6: like what's real and what.
- 31:43Speaker 2: Is the editing? It was craftily edited.
- 31:45Speaker 5: I do just appreciate though, that Dolf was drew like
- 31:48Speaker 5: I said, me as an eleven year old kid saying
- 31:51Speaker 5: when I watched WWE, saying this is probably not what
- 31:54Speaker 5: you should be doing at home, right, Maybe that should
- 31:56Speaker 5: have been the start or right after that video of hey,
- 32:00Speaker 5: don't try to throw a baseball and hit an apple
- 32:02Speaker 5: off your brother's head outside because it might not work
- 32:04Speaker 5: as well as it did right here.
- 32:05Speaker 6: Okay, so I'm an idiot. Who was who had the
- 32:08Speaker 6: apple on their head? Who was that?
- 32:09Speaker 5: That's one of their young triper Pratt? I think, yes, okay,
- 32:12Speaker 5: I gotta be triple A shortstop, right, He's gonna be
- 32:14Speaker 5: triple A shorts up this year.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Think. So he's got the name on the jersey in
- 32:18Speaker 2: spring training. That's always a bonus.
- 32:20Speaker 4: It is eighty seven, right, so like but now that
- 32:23Speaker 4: is letting you know, pecking order, brother, but we're gonna
- 32:25Speaker 4: put your name on the jersey this year.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Normal thing to see those high numbers right rosters.
- 32:31Speaker 3: The first guy I really thought that at a high
- 32:33Speaker 3: number that was really really good was Josh Hayter. When
- 32:36Speaker 3: he came up with seventy one. I'm like, all right,
- 32:38Speaker 3: you know what it was this guy. But then he
- 32:39Speaker 3: starts pumping him in there and he's dominating people. I'm like,
- 32:42Speaker 3: number seventy one is legit. Now let's go right.
- 32:45Speaker 4: The Yankees announced that they're retiring c C's number. I
- 32:47Speaker 4: saw that, but they're not a big demand for fifty two. However,
- 32:50Speaker 4: the Yankees don't have that many available number.
- 32:52Speaker 2: They're running out.
- 32:53Speaker 6: I don't think they have any between one and ten anymore,
- 32:55Speaker 6: do they.
- 32:55Speaker 3: They're no, they're running out. They don't have anybody's being
- 32:57Speaker 3: won on ten and and the Celtics are like this too.
- 33:00Speaker 3: And I've long thought, what's going to happen when these
- 33:02Speaker 3: places start running out of numbers.
- 33:04Speaker 6: You're gonna have to start reissuing the numbers, and you
- 33:07Speaker 6: know there should be only a few. I was surprised
- 33:09Speaker 6: by that one drew until I read I guess he
- 33:11Speaker 6: was there eleven years?
- 33:12Speaker 2: Is that right?
- 33:13Speaker 6: Something like that one ring? You know, you wouldn't loop
- 33:16Speaker 6: him in with the Jeters of the world. But obviously
- 33:17Speaker 6: he was very important to the Yankees fans. But I
- 33:19Speaker 6: was surprised he was there that all that long. But
- 33:22Speaker 6: I remember, as a Bears fan growing up, I thought
- 33:24Speaker 6: it was a crime. Every time I saw fifty one
- 33:26Speaker 6: trot out there, I said, how can you not? How
- 33:28Speaker 6: can you have somebody wearing Dick but kisses number?
- 33:30Speaker 2: Sure, that's absurd.
- 33:30Speaker 6: Yeah, And that was up until recent history when they
- 33:32Speaker 6: finally said, okay, that's probably true.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Hard to believe.
- 33:35Speaker 4: Packers never retired Horning's number, but they don't issue it
- 33:38Speaker 4: very off issue it really much.
- 33:39Speaker 2: The Brewers have never issued seventeen since Daniel.
- 33:42Speaker 3: It's not retired but unofficial bankfully, like you said, seventeen
- 33:47Speaker 3: is one of those that people aren't like, I want
- 33:48Speaker 3: to wear seventeen usually when they came up.
- 33:51Speaker 5: Well and one was I don't really obviously not issued
- 33:54Speaker 5: even much at all this year until Micah decided and
- 33:56Speaker 5: he's like, hey do that one?
- 33:58Speaker 2: Can we ask?
- 33:59Speaker 5: Can we think of Curly and say hey, yeah, let's
- 34:02Speaker 5: go to it and I'm gonna.
- 34:03Speaker 2: Throw it on there, and they were Michael, wats one?
- 34:05Speaker 2: You give my number?
- 34:07Speaker 4: One?
- 34:07Speaker 2: That's he wanted double zero. You can give that to
- 34:09Speaker 2: him too.
- 34:10Speaker 3: That's what makes it easy that judge war is ninety
- 34:12Speaker 3: nine because they'll easily be able to retire that one,
- 34:14Speaker 3: no problem.
- 34:15Speaker 2: And that's a big number.
- 34:16Speaker 6: So, speaking of the Brewers, I was reading on the
- 34:17Speaker 6: World Baseball Classic this morning. Did I see this if
- 34:20Speaker 6: fourteen guys taking part with different teams, including two with England.
- 34:24Speaker 2: England is in the World Baseball Class.
- 34:26Speaker 5: Yeah, we I mean we got Team Canada with Tyler
- 34:29Speaker 5: Black being a part of We got a couple in Venezuela. Uh,
- 34:32Speaker 5: and yeah, they're Dominican. Dominican Joey your tees shortstop for
- 34:37Speaker 5: Team Mexico. So that yeah, they're gonna be all over
- 34:39Speaker 5: the place. From what it teams.
- 34:40Speaker 2: Rank's the only Team USA player, right, yes.
- 34:42Speaker 5: The only Captain America. But he's our second baseman and
- 34:45Speaker 5: that's where he's hitting two bombs yesterday he is ready
- 34:48Speaker 5: one off like batters.
- 34:49Speaker 4: Oh my god, he had a grand Slam, two bombs
- 34:53Speaker 4: and one off the batters and nothing he can't do. Yeah,
- 34:55Speaker 4: Hunter's gonna tell us about the Brewers and he's gonna
- 34:58Speaker 4: be in about an hour from right now, as we
- 35:00Speaker 4: twenty minutes now from right now, Right, we're less than
- 35:02Speaker 4: a month away from quick is this thing going? Yeah,
- 35:04Speaker 4: we're flying. We're less than a month from opening day. Yeah,
- 35:06Speaker 4: you're right, we're inside of that window.
- 35:08Speaker 6: Yeah, the twenty six so uh so, Actually it's probably
- 35:11Speaker 6: four weeks from today, right, since this is a Thursday,
- 35:13Speaker 6: it's opening day on a Thursday.
- 35:15Speaker 2: Right, it's four weeks from today. Week from today. Do

- 35:32Speaker 4: at Dilly and get him to wave to that.
- 35:34Speaker 5: Right, that right field corner gets the most action because
- 35:36Speaker 5: the field level is the little kids area apparently revamped
- 35:39Speaker 5: this year.
- 35:40Speaker 2: So I'm excited to sell the most levels tool too.
- 35:43Speaker 6: They got the food trucks down there now, and they
- 35:45Speaker 6: put in that cocktail bar with the you know, the
- 35:48Speaker 6: icys and stuff that.
- 35:49Speaker 5: They did also say though they kept the baseball glove
- 35:51Speaker 5: the picture good. The glove for the picture is still there,
- 35:54Speaker 5: just a different path.
- 35:55Speaker 3: That's becoming that's becoming like a right a passage kind
- 35:58Speaker 3: of the thing.
- 35:58Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of the thing.
- 36:00Speaker 3: I was gonna running out of time, so I was
- 36:01Speaker 3: going to ask you to name the all the Yankees
- 36:03Speaker 3: retired numbers, because so.
- 36:06Speaker 2: Billy Martin, you know, there's a couple of single.
- 36:08Speaker 6: Digits that have two guys attached to it, you know,
- 36:12Speaker 6: Billy Martin, Derk Jeter two, you got lou Garry three,
- 36:16Speaker 6: garyar The DiMaggio.
- 36:19Speaker 2: Six is kind of tough because you don't think of
- 36:21Speaker 2: this guy's a Mantle six. Six? Was that it's not
- 36:24Speaker 2: Elston Howard?
- 36:25Speaker 3: Was it? No, it's it's not a player who wasn't
- 36:28Speaker 3: to Oh, I would never get six.
- 36:31Speaker 2: Man O was seven.
- 36:33Speaker 6: Mickey first came up Yogi eight, Yogi eight, and then nine.
- 36:36Speaker 6: I think has two guys attached to it, don't they.
- 36:37Speaker 2: Eight was Bill Dickey and Yogi, But that was nine
- 36:40Speaker 2: is Roger mar Marris.
- 36:41Speaker 6: Okay, got it, And that one's kind of controversial. I
- 36:45Speaker 6: know he broke the home run record, but he really wasn't.
- 36:47Speaker 3: He didn't have a exclusively Yankee came up with Kansas City, right,
- 36:50Speaker 3: I get it?

- 37:13Speaker 6: I don't have the numbers in front, but it was
- 37:14Speaker 6: ridiculous how many championships they won.
- 37:16Speaker 4: You could almost make It's fifty two is not that
- 37:19Speaker 4: popular number. You can almost make a case the Brewers
- 37:21Speaker 4: put that in the rafter for CC's gonna.
- 37:24Speaker 2: Say is eight weeks.
- 37:25Speaker 3: Yeah, we could loosen up our requirements a little bit,
- 37:27Speaker 3: you know, no, keep the standard, you know, should retire.

- 38:33Speaker 5: heroes in a certain basketball tournament, Current Electric knows that
- 38:38Speaker 5: with spring right around the corner, you need to start
- 38:39Speaker 5: thinking about the time that you want to spend outside
- 38:41Speaker 5: your backdoor living space becomes really important.
- 38:44Speaker 2: Question can be how do you make it better? We
- 38:46Speaker 2: always want to get better.
- 38:47Speaker 5: Packers are looking at how to get better, maybe seeking
- 38:49Speaker 5: some impact talent. Teams looking for some impact talent. You know,

- 39:16Speaker 5: I'd love to say, though, a couple of heroes that
- 39:19Speaker 5: I didn't necessarily think of. One Ken Border Junior last
- 39:22Speaker 5: night game winner for the Milwaukee Bucks twenty points again
- 39:25Speaker 5: and just continues to be a savant in the pick
- 39:29Speaker 5: and roll that fourth quarter. Him and Jericho Sims on
- 39:31Speaker 5: that pick and roll every single time down the floor,
- 39:34Speaker 5: the calves, we were just doing anything they could have
- 39:37Speaker 5: tried to get it out of Porter Junior's hands.
- 39:38Speaker 2: That they're finding it. It was awesome to put on
- 39:41Speaker 2: a clinic. That's great.
- 39:42Speaker 5: Now you've seen this at different spring training venues and
- 39:45Speaker 5: one of your favorite things. As you mentioned, when you
- 39:48Speaker 5: go to American Family Fields of Phoenix at a spring
- 39:50Speaker 5: training park, just walk around the entire facade right the
- 39:52Speaker 5: whole concourse.
- 39:53Speaker 2: Get two innings of walking in while you're still watching
- 39:55Speaker 2: the game. And then there's.
- 39:56Speaker 5: Usually a g Grand Canyon University. They're selling burgers, right,
- 40:00Speaker 5: they might have a burger spot, there might be a
- 40:02Speaker 5: food truck. There's obviously a couple of built in concessions stand.
- 40:05Speaker 5: But yesterday a certain food truck came to the Brewers
- 40:09Speaker 5: and Giants game, and well, one San Francisco Giant welcomed
- 40:15Speaker 5: the food truck with a home run over four hundred
- 40:18Speaker 5: feet off of the food truck hit by Harrison Bader.
- 40:22Speaker 2: You know.
- 40:22Speaker 5: Monica Godfrey, owner of Cactus Bowls, was asked to move
- 40:26Speaker 5: her a Sie bowl truck from behind home plate out
- 40:30Speaker 5: into left field before the game at American Family Fields
- 40:33Speaker 5: of Phoenix.
- 40:34Speaker 2: As she told Todd Rosiacks, she asked, what happens if
- 40:37Speaker 2: somebody hits a home run or something.
- 40:39Speaker 5: Well, she found out in the fourth inning when Harrison
- 40:41Speaker 5: Bader blasted one off of the backside of the Asie
- 40:45Speaker 5: build your own food bowl at American Family Fields of
- 40:49Speaker 5: Phoenix as Rosiacking Company went out there to see if
- 40:52Speaker 5: everything was okay. He said, hey, you might want to
- 40:54Speaker 5: see if Baterer would sign it. Sure enough, Harrison Bader
- 40:57Speaker 5: signed at San Francisco Giants Number nine was just a
- 41:00Speaker 5: little sorry right there to the d's.
- 41:04Speaker 2: Here in American family Fields and Phoenix.
- 41:07Speaker 4: Our current electric hero of the day. That's amazing for
- 41:09Speaker 4: a guy that I don't you generally like.
- 41:11Speaker 5: For some reason, I've had some weird dislike for Harrison
- 41:14Speaker 5: Bater Maybe because he came up as a card and
- 41:16Speaker 5: I liked him better when he was Hunter Pence. That's fair, Yes,
- 41:20Speaker 5: very replaceable, same.
- 41:21Speaker 2: Guy, yea, but yeah, painting your ass player.
- 41:24Speaker 5: But now Baier should probably be a Brewer right five nine,
- 41:27Speaker 5: five ten. You might just fit the profile a little
- 41:30Speaker 5: bit too much. Shortcase short king. I think he was
- 41:32Speaker 5: at one point a lake short chinook. If I'm not mistaken, well,
- 41:35Speaker 5: that's about right.
- 41:36Speaker 2: I didn't see. If I'm right, I think he might
- 41:37Speaker 2: have been a lake shortchanok. Perhaps that Giants demo is fine.
- 41:40Speaker 5: That game yesterday was wild crazy to see the finish
- 41:44Speaker 5: of a thirteen twelve game where uh eight runs scored in.
- 41:47Speaker 2: The final nine outs.
- 41:49Speaker 4: That's a spring training ball, ring training ball for you.
- 41:52Speaker 2: You know, that's.
- 41:55Speaker 4: You can get flagged for saying this game is really
- 41:57Speaker 4: flying in spring training. Now with the pitch clock, it's
- 41:59Speaker 4: so you weren't that one, Yeah, no doubt. The days
- 42:02Speaker 4: of the four hours bring training games are pretty much
- 42:05Speaker 4: gone again. And the hero whoever came up with the
- 42:07Speaker 4: idea that if a pitcher is walking the yard, how
- 42:10Speaker 4: about we get him out, bring somebody in to help.
- 42:12Speaker 4: If you really need him to go up and down,
- 42:14Speaker 4: you can throw him back in next inning. But he's
- 42:16Speaker 4: gonna pitch twenty five, throw twenty five pitches, and get
- 42:19Speaker 4: yourself out of here, because we need to get this
- 42:20Speaker 4: thing moving.
- 42:21Speaker 3: We got tight times summer of twenty thirteen. How about
- 42:23Speaker 3: that he played? I thought, so let's go nickname Tots.
- 42:28Speaker 2: Who knew?
- 42:28Speaker 5: Wow, that's what was Wikipedia says nickname Toots. Well, he
- 42:31Speaker 5: does look like a little bit of a tater tot.
- 42:35Speaker 2: I'm getting hungry. It's the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin
