0:00
Speaker 1: Huddled up on a Tuesday. Let's get this club going up.
0:03
Speaker 1: What do you say, five o'clock clubbers, Welcome in, Thanks
0:07
Speaker 1: for waking up with us, Drew Wilson, Bill Schmid, Armand sorry,
0:10
Speaker 1: and let's turn it up. We gotta we got a
0:13
Speaker 1: lot to overcome today.
0:14
Speaker 2: At least that's true, Drew.
0:18
Speaker 1: I've got a triple case of the red ass. When
0:24
Speaker 1: you're angry. When when you're angry, Yeah, when you get angry,
0:28
Speaker 1: it's a that's a baseball terms like you've got the
0:30
Speaker 1: red ass. I don't know where that. I don't know
0:33
Speaker 1: the roots of it.
0:34
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, but I don't definitely better to
0:36
Speaker 2: have a pack on the front.
0:38
Speaker 1: But it is, uh, it's a term like you know,
0:40
Speaker 1: when a manager's upset or an umpire or anybody in
0:44
Speaker 1: the baseball clubhouse, they'll be like, watch out. You know,
0:47
Speaker 1: Armand's got the reds are now Armand very seldom has
0:49
Speaker 1: a red ass.
0:49
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's maybe only gets to like
0:52
Speaker 2: a slight version of pink.
0:54
Speaker 1: But but you know, last night as a as a
1:03
Speaker 1: night to stay up late for us, by our standards,
1:07
Speaker 1: to enjoy an excellent, much anticipated sporting event. And the
1:12
Speaker 1: US men's national team turns into flat, flaccid, flatulent performance. Yeah, well,
1:18
Speaker 1: it made me feel like I was rewatching the second
1:20
Speaker 1: half of Bears Packers at Soldier Fields. It turned out
1:23
Speaker 1: that we're too lane.
1:25
Speaker 2: I mean, I was, as Armine said yesterday, and he
1:28
Speaker 2: is a big fan of theseded knockout rounds, expanded playoff,
1:31
Speaker 2: expanded World Cup. And it was fun. It led us
1:33
Speaker 2: to a great time. But then I realized, Drew, oh,
1:35
Speaker 2: we're the group of five. Yeah, that was that was
1:38
Speaker 2: what I anticipated. The Rose Bowl was going to be
1:41
Speaker 2: like what we watched Indiana do a couple of years
1:42
Speaker 2: ago when they got dog walked right up out of
1:44
Speaker 2: that CFP and then they did the dog walking to Alabama.
1:47
Speaker 2: That was varsity against JV yesterday.
1:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the difference was, to your point, Drew, at
1:51
Speaker 3: least we look good for three quarters, well most some
1:54
Speaker 3: of the three quarters of that Packers Bears game.
1:56
Speaker 1: I mean, unfortunately, we were all classed throughout.
1:59
Speaker 3: I thought, I'm I mean, you had the you had
2:01
Speaker 3: the hope and the and the glimmer of hope with
2:03
Speaker 3: the equalizer early on the free kick by by till them.
2:07
Speaker 3: What I think really nice free kick off the deflection
2:09
Speaker 3: that gave you kind of hope, like, okay, we can regroup.
2:12
Speaker 3: Now we equalize, let's see what we can do. But
2:14
Speaker 3: right right away, I mean exactly, that's all. It was
2:18
Speaker 3: a minu and a half. Right away, they get it
2:19
Speaker 3: right back, just outclass from the start.
2:21
Speaker 1: Outclassed outplayed. Made you think that the Paraguay game was
2:25
Speaker 1: a mirage that I texted Nags in the middle of
2:28
Speaker 1: the at halftime, I texted Nags and I'm like, I said,
2:31
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of ball game left, but oof,
2:34
Speaker 1: I said, I felt like I was watching Bears pack
2:35
Speaker 1: first Soldiers field in the second half, and uh, next
2:39
Speaker 1: is like, this is the US men's national team that
2:42
Speaker 1: I'm accustomed to. Yeah, this is the team watching for
2:45
Speaker 1: thirty years. Right, this is it? Uh not right, We're
2:48
Speaker 1: not ready for prime time. Uh just it was a
2:51
Speaker 1: complete letdown. So you got that, and you're stilling on
2:54
Speaker 1: that now. The Brewers one uplift out, nice snatchback win
2:58
Speaker 1: in the first game of a series going into a
2:59
Speaker 1: big doubleheader today. Hamilton No David Hamilton queuing Jet Williams
3:05
Speaker 1: to pick up the white courtesy telephone. We'll talk more
3:07
Speaker 1: about that later we'll have Hunter Bombgrass report. But so
3:09
Speaker 1: the US men's national team loses. So I go to
3:12
Speaker 1: the Rack and I'm like, ah, that sucks. We'll well,
3:14
Speaker 1: we'll have stuff to talk about today. And then last
3:18
Speaker 1: evening being July sixth, around ten fifty, there's a fireworks
3:24
Speaker 1: display in my neighborhood. And it's not just people randomly
3:28
Speaker 1: and this was like an organized I don't know if
3:30
Speaker 1: it was a wedding or a private gig or what.
3:34
Speaker 1: There's like a fifteen or twenty minute fireworks display, waking
3:37
Speaker 1: me from sound slumber, driving the dog insane, walking on
3:41
Speaker 1: my head and trying to hacuse me. Fourth between the pillows,
3:45
Speaker 1: Like what the hell? The fourth is over? Yeah, this
3:48
Speaker 1: is the second I'm gonna have to like this is
3:49
Speaker 1: one where I'm pissed off enough about this, let's go
3:52
Speaker 1: check into an alderman like what, like who did this?
3:55
Speaker 1: Who approved this? And who has fireworks? Like around eleven
3:58
Speaker 1: o'clock and not nine and clement weather nine or the
4:03
Speaker 1: sun's down at nine, you can do it at nine,
4:05
Speaker 1: but to do it at ten and if this was
4:07
Speaker 1: a I don't know, if this was a private citizen,
4:09
Speaker 1: I want them brought up on charges. Oh yes, let's
4:11
Speaker 1: go now fifteen to twenty minute, like you know, come
4:14
Speaker 1: on getting what the hell? And there was it was
4:16
Speaker 1: actually it seemed like it was orchestrated because there was
4:18
Speaker 1: a finale. It's like you know in the backyard shows.
4:21
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess some guys have it coordinator. Maybe
4:23
Speaker 1: if you used to work part of.
4:24
Speaker 2: Lotas, Yeah, they might have might have some techniques, I guess.
4:27
Speaker 1: So all right, that's it's two coincidental to not be
4:31
Speaker 1: left over fourth of July.
4:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was thinking, said, excuse me, there's
4:35
Speaker 2: four boxes.
4:36
Speaker 1: Didn't get me. Yeah, they was packing up at this point,
4:39
Speaker 1: packing up from the fourth of the show, and they're like, oh,
4:41
Speaker 1: we forgot this. Let's fire these up to do it.
4:43
Speaker 1: Then we don't have to put them on the truck
4:44
Speaker 1: and take them out of here.
4:45
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we don't have to put them back in
4:47
Speaker 2: the tent. See them for eighty percent of the wedding Monday.
4:50
Speaker 2: But then again, Disco, that.
4:52
Speaker 1: Was the That was the second leg of the red
4:54
Speaker 1: ass stool, all right, and then the third leg is
4:56
Speaker 1: I'm driving and I'm you know, collecting my thoughts and
4:59
Speaker 1: zip along and again no, randomly for no reason. The
5:03
Speaker 1: orange barrels are up in the exit that I take,
5:06
Speaker 1: completely blocked off, yes, eloite road. And then it's like,
5:10
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you'll be hooking around forty three and getting
5:13
Speaker 1: off on late and driving the long way.
5:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, expanded for no reason.
5:18
Speaker 1: No, there's nobody working, just like we just we have
5:21
Speaker 1: these extra orange barrels. We need to put them here
5:24
Speaker 1: and back for no reason. And then that Layton thing
5:27
Speaker 1: is all screwed up to It's all that's all we
5:30
Speaker 1: do is people.
5:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's basically Leyton Avenue right now is basically like
5:33
Speaker 3: a bobsleds sloalo them.
5:34
Speaker 1: You have to try and figure out the way. It's instant.
5:37
Speaker 3: It's like it's not that hard when there's a bunch
5:38
Speaker 3: of cars to follow, but when it's like, you know,
5:41
Speaker 3: very early in.
5:41
Speaker 1: The morning, the middle of spot picture lane, it's pick
5:45
Speaker 1: your luge, like your loose lane or whatever.
5:46
Speaker 3: So I had one of the Greenfield's finest redirect me
5:49
Speaker 3: a week ago.
5:50
Speaker 1: I was really I was going in the wrong way,
5:54
Speaker 1: go around. I think he really.
5:56
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, is he gonna wonder what
5:57
Speaker 3: I'm doing up driving a three thirty. The you know
5:59
Speaker 3: four whatever it was in the morning, But I don't
6:01
Speaker 3: think he did. I think he kind of knew I
6:03
Speaker 3: was he saw baby on board. That was that was
6:06
Speaker 3: the triple whammy. Yeah, that that's tough. And Nationals blocked
6:10
Speaker 3: off if you're going that way. So the boy and
6:12
Speaker 3: the national exit nightmare, nightmare fuel. So that's the triple
6:18
Speaker 3: whammy of me being pissed off today. Then it's a
6:21
Speaker 3: tough start. Uh.
6:22
Speaker 1: I got the group text. This was funny though this.
6:24
Speaker 1: I got the group text and I was just heading
6:26
Speaker 1: to the pool. I got the group text about Uh.
6:29
Speaker 1: Billy sent us the group text about the Giannis uh
6:32
Speaker 1: sit down with mister Jim.
6:33
Speaker 2: With mister Jim, we have thirty six minutes of sit
6:36
Speaker 2: down and uh.
6:37
Speaker 1: Because I dialed that in and treated it like a podcast.
6:40
Speaker 1: I didn't watch it, but I listened to it while
6:42
Speaker 1: while just chilling at the pool, and it was a
6:44
Speaker 1: good listen and you know, we love Jim Pashki and
6:47
Speaker 1: it was, you know, interesting to hear Giannis. And while
6:49
Speaker 1: that is hitting and the news is official and stuff,
6:52
Speaker 1: Giannis is on a kickstream with the douchebag neon you know,
6:56
Speaker 1: YouTube star or calling Malik Beasley on the phone, because
7:02
Speaker 1: you know, you want to consort with a gambler.
7:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to mean he had to see if
7:06
Speaker 2: Calci was making the right polls.
7:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, to give him credit because it's still funny, Like
7:09
Speaker 3: I think Neon.
7:10
Speaker 1: I would rather watch Neon with those the twerps from
7:14
Speaker 1: the whatever that is the hype house in sky bree
7:17
Speaker 1: then with jan.
7:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, I better watch Neon Bordeaux from Blue Chips.
7:24
Speaker 1: Well yeah, him too. Yeah, but that was weird. It
7:27
Speaker 1: was a weird juxtaposition, like while this hits and the
7:30
Speaker 1: earth is consuming this content that was carefully cracked, crafted
7:34
Speaker 1: and edited and well done. And of course it's classy
7:37
Speaker 1: because our friend Jimpaski is in it. He exudes class.
7:42
Speaker 2: It was done so well, and it was he's just
7:45
Speaker 2: chopping off and doing stupid stuff with a streamer, Like
7:48
Speaker 2: what what couldn't you have just waited for that?
7:51
Speaker 1: Like what are we doing? Yannestly? You know, he's not
7:54
Speaker 1: he's not our guy anymore. He can do what he wants.
7:56
Speaker 1: He can take his talents to South Beach. It's their
7:58
Speaker 1: circus and if he wants to create the circle is great.
8:01
Speaker 1: But it seemed like a weird and rare misstep by
8:03
Speaker 1: number thirty four who now might be number seven. Yeah,
8:06
Speaker 1: apparently he's said you might change his number.
8:08
Speaker 2: Now somebody might want to tell the Miami Heat because
8:10
Speaker 2: they were advertising thirty four jerseys yesterday.
8:12
Speaker 1: Right away I went and drop it. I guess Ray
8:13
Speaker 1: Allen would like a word. Yeah, I'm not.
8:16
Speaker 2: This ain't happening again. This is not It meets twice twice,
8:20
Speaker 2: Ray in two different spots. I'm not getting my thirty
8:23
Speaker 2: four swipe by you. Uh, I do wonder Drew like
8:27
Speaker 2: he I don't think. I don't know that Giannis takes
8:30
Speaker 2: like big advice, Like I think a lot of this
8:32
Speaker 2: is just him to the pants.
8:34
Speaker 1: The man's go and do it.
8:36
Speaker 2: And I don't know that there's anything overly to think
8:40
Speaker 2: about it. However, at some point you got to think
8:42
Speaker 2: about some of that stuff, like this kind of a
8:44
Speaker 2: move is being made, not exactly the time to mess
8:46
Speaker 2: with the mechanics of it.
8:48
Speaker 1: If I'm the Heat, I mean, I know we just
8:49
Speaker 1: came off the holiday weekend, except but you want him
8:51
Speaker 1: there at the first opportunity to like, oh, I'm gonna
8:53
Speaker 1: be there in a week. I'll get around to it
8:55
Speaker 1: when I get off when I get back from Greece,
8:57
Speaker 1: like I'm.
8:58
Speaker 2: Talking to I'm talking to this dude in our clothing store.
9:00
Speaker 2: We want to give you not exactly what I would want.
9:02
Speaker 2: We're about to give you a three hundred million over
9:05
Speaker 2: a quarter of a billion dollars. Could maybe, you know,
9:08
Speaker 2: maybe you could you find time to come here and
9:11
Speaker 2: like show up for our grip and grin. Yeah, very
9:13
Speaker 2: very strange deal, Like I a very very strange and
9:16
Speaker 2: I think you said it right, a rare misstep because
9:18
Speaker 2: it does like is this gonna be something that it tarnishes?
9:22
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. However, it just goes into a long line
9:26
Speaker 2: of weird steps. It's weird as those things happen like concurrently.
9:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he and then he got more fished
9:33
Speaker 1: by NBA sentel.
9:34
Speaker 3: With broad going to the Cleveland, which I thought was good,
9:38
Speaker 3: but it seems I wasn't, Like that's not all. That's fine,
9:43
Speaker 3: I think is the streaming thing.
9:46
Speaker 2: But armand didn't we do the same thing when when
9:49
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers went to the Jets, like you watched in
9:52
Speaker 2: consuming kind of talking about it still everything that he's doing,
9:54
Speaker 2: aware of everything else that he's doing, Like.
9:56
Speaker 1: I'll be aware of it.
9:57
Speaker 3: That's part true, But I'm talking about like when you juxtaposed.
10:01
Speaker 1: The Passke interview with the Neon.
10:04
Speaker 3: Stream, Like I just wasn't really gonna be on that
10:07
Speaker 3: neon stream to watch. I guess so to me, I
10:10
Speaker 3: didn't think of the two together. But it does remind
10:13
Speaker 3: you that Jannis, like you said, Billy does stream of
10:15
Speaker 3: consciousness stuff.
10:16
Speaker 1: He'll just say what comes to mind. He doesn't have
10:18
Speaker 1: a filter, which that's kind of cool. Actually, yeah it is,
10:21
Speaker 1: And that's exactly why. Again, it seemed so strange for
10:24
Speaker 1: them both to be dropping at the exact same time,
10:27
Speaker 1: because one was, oh, sure, I'll jump on your twitch,
10:30
Speaker 1: on your kickstream, let's do it. Have fun.
10:32
Speaker 2: The other one was a pre orchestrated sit down video
10:35
Speaker 2: at the Cousins Center where apparently he went one on
10:37
Speaker 2: one against a priest before they went and played. And
10:39
Speaker 2: this was shot like multiple weeks ago. It was obviously
10:42
Speaker 2: shot a couple of weeks ago when the trade was done,
10:45
Speaker 2: and knowing that this was a possibility, you want to
10:48
Speaker 2: be prepared. I think that it was executed perfect perfectly.
10:54
Speaker 2: And also I thought Jim Pashke drew for somebody that
10:57
Speaker 2: has a personal vested interest in the person that you're interviewing.
11:01
Speaker 2: That can't be super easy because it obviously wasn't a
11:04
Speaker 2: hard hitting let me sit down and drill you with
11:06
Speaker 2: the toughest questions. But he asked them the tough questions,
11:08
Speaker 2: and I think Bucks fans a lot of people were wondering.
11:10
Speaker 1: If he was going to I think that was cool.
11:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously like they were prepared for that. I would
11:15
Speaker 3: imagine Giannis was prepared for that, because that's why Jannest
11:18
Speaker 3: wanted Jim. He liked the relationship, and he was okay
11:20
Speaker 3: with those questions. Not sure if he pre screened him.
11:22
Speaker 3: I don't think it necessarily work like that, but he
11:24
Speaker 3: has an idea. You're gonna get questions like this. That's
11:26
Speaker 3: just gonna be the way it is, and obviously Janns
11:28
Speaker 3: can edit it the way he wants. We have no
11:30
Speaker 3: idea if there was you know, that was everything. It
11:33
Speaker 3: might have been. It might not have been. But I
11:36
Speaker 3: do appreciate this more than just the like it was.
11:38
Speaker 3: If Jannis just gave us the video like I expected,
11:42
Speaker 3: maybe like a bank you of video, a graphic, I
11:45
Speaker 3: in no way expected the thirty five minutes sit down
11:48
Speaker 3: magnum Opus interview masterpiece with all of his thoughts and
11:51
Speaker 3: all of this.
11:52
Speaker 1: I appreciated it, I did.
11:53
Speaker 3: I mean his transparency somewhat that you usually don't get
11:56
Speaker 3: from a guy that ostensibly means a lot to you
11:59
Speaker 3: as a Bucks fan.
12:00
Speaker 1: So I mean it worked on me.
12:01
Speaker 3: I don't know if if like some people are like,
12:03
Speaker 3: I'm not buying the hish stick anymore. Maybe some people
12:05
Speaker 3: looked at it that way and said I'm not dealing
12:07
Speaker 3: with it. But I appreciate hearing it, that's for sure.
12:10
Speaker 3: And the way I look at it now too, is like,
12:12
Speaker 3: you know your ex is gonna change a little bit.
12:14
Speaker 1: When they're with the new the new girl or the
12:16
Speaker 1: new you.
12:17
Speaker 3: Know, relationship, and they're gonna dress a little differently and
12:19
Speaker 3: try and act cooler maybe or try and get into
12:22
Speaker 3: different stuff they weren't to do with you.
12:23
Speaker 1: But that's all he's gonna be.
12:25
Speaker 3: Kind of like, maybe that's that's what the podcast thing
12:27
Speaker 3: was for me, this dream.
12:28
Speaker 1: So it is what it is.
12:30
Speaker 3: But I guess more than now that you can bring
12:32
Speaker 3: it up, it is kind of peculiar that it happened
12:34
Speaker 3: at the same time he waited.
12:36
Speaker 1: I guess I didn't think about it very strange with Neon.
12:40
Speaker 1: And that's one thing like Giannis hasn't He's not a
12:43
Speaker 1: tailor in Travis's wedding. He hasn't courted celebrity and fame.
12:47
Speaker 1: He doesn't remove with the glitterati of the NBA, and
12:50
Speaker 1: here he is with this guy.
12:52
Speaker 2: Well, I wonder if some of it Drew is like
12:56
Speaker 2: he he does go try to tap in more with
12:58
Speaker 2: the younger yeah out than than with I guess, like
13:01
Speaker 2: the rubb and elbows with the people that have been
13:05
Speaker 2: successful for quite some time. And Richard Dames, like I know,
13:08
Speaker 2: I saw him on some he did some kind of
13:10
Speaker 2: co op with another Instagram TikTok influencer who does a
13:14
Speaker 2: bunch of conversations about lifestyle and building.
13:18
Speaker 1: Wealth and things like that.
13:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it does appear like I think that a
13:21
Speaker 2: lot of it is being more interested in that, in
13:24
Speaker 2: wondering if maybe that gets more of a global reach.
13:26
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's a little strange.
13:28
Speaker 2: I do think that it was cool to see yesterday
13:31
Speaker 2: the Bucks jumped a gun phenomenal post as well that
13:34
Speaker 2: they put out thanking him, and it was it was
13:37
Speaker 2: it made a day that we knew was coming. We
13:39
Speaker 2: talked about it yesterday was gonna be weird, was gonna
13:41
Speaker 2: be tough. I thought it was all executed very very well.
13:45
Speaker 2: And now we can move on with number forty two Kyler.
13:48
Speaker 1: Into the Yeah, that's a wild one, and the person
13:52
Speaker 1: and not shockingly, the person who won the day and
13:55
Speaker 1: showed the most grace Mariah with her statement and her
13:58
Speaker 1: long little letter in farewell to Milwaukee, that was fantastic,
14:02
Speaker 1: well played, naive, but I believe it. I believe that
14:05
Speaker 1: that play the place means a lot. I believe that too.
14:08
Speaker 1: I don't think there. You don't manufacture that. It's not
14:12
Speaker 1: like you're not. I don't know that they're trying to.
14:15
Speaker 1: They're not trying to pull one over on anybody by
14:17
Speaker 1: saying this, because they don't really have to. It's Milwaukee,
14:21
Speaker 1: see you peace out.
14:22
Speaker 2: Like for sure, I think it also would quiet the
14:26
Speaker 2: crowd that was asking and drumming and beating the drum
14:29
Speaker 2: for why on earth are we not getting to thank you?
14:31
Speaker 2: You got a better one than a sweet AI graphic?
14:33
Speaker 2: Exactly That's the way I felt that. That's exactly why
14:36
Speaker 2: I felt that said.
14:38
Speaker 1: We knew that was coming, had no idea that the
14:41
Speaker 1: US was going to get served to play the whoopass
14:42
Speaker 1: and play a horrific Now did they did? We? Uh?
14:50
Speaker 1: Did the US men? Did the whole situation with the
14:53
Speaker 1: red card recession? Did that anger of the sports gods?
14:56
Speaker 1: Did it fire up Belgium? Sure did? Sure appeared to
14:58
Speaker 1: because from a moment they were down. When they scored
15:01
Speaker 1: that first goal, it's like, pooh, these guys are here,
15:03
Speaker 1: not mess around. And then when the US gets the
15:05
Speaker 1: equalizer on the Tillman master stroke, you know, they punch
15:09
Speaker 1: right back and it's like, oh yeah, in the same
15:11
Speaker 1: your night, it's like, eugh did that? Maybe? Would would
15:15
Speaker 1: the US have been better off without their leading scorer
15:17
Speaker 1: in this game?
15:18
Speaker 3: Ye?
15:19
Speaker 1: No, I don't.
15:20
Speaker 2: I don't think so drew because of the the outclassing
15:23
Speaker 2: that it was right, like I mean like that that
15:26
Speaker 2: again it.
15:27
Speaker 1: Felt psychologically would Belgium have said, oh, they're without their
15:29
Speaker 1: best player and like, would there been psychological a little
15:32
Speaker 1: bit of a letdown as opposed to they're screwing us,
15:35
Speaker 1: let's go get them. Sure, it's the world against the
15:38
Speaker 1: US in this case, because everybody thought they were it
15:40
Speaker 1: was corrupt.
15:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I also think it's more that they're into
15:43
Speaker 2: enemy territory with seventy thousand people that absolutely despise and hate,
15:47
Speaker 2: like there's no we hear every athlete in any sports
15:50
Speaker 2: talk about how much more fun it is going on
15:52
Speaker 2: the road, true then going into your own home and
15:55
Speaker 2: winning that game, but being able to do that, and
15:57
Speaker 2: you saw how excited and how much fun they had
16:00
Speaker 2: silencing and mocking the crowd, and that was phenomenal. I
16:03
Speaker 2: still think there was a layer of it that.
16:05
Speaker 1: Was I know you do. Yeah, I know you do.
16:08
Speaker 2: And I think that there are some people that might like,
16:10
Speaker 2: I think you were getting whooped either way, Like I
16:12
Speaker 2: think you watched that game. I think they played that
16:15
Speaker 2: game one hundred times. Maybe the US gets one or two.
16:19
Speaker 2: But again, and if you looked at it more, the
16:21
Speaker 2: world rankings would have indicated that one is the top
16:24
Speaker 2: seventeen and one is the.
16:26
Speaker 1: Bottom one in the in the top sixteen were up
16:32
Speaker 1: in the excite we're the smartest guys that don't get
16:34
Speaker 1: swept up Vegas. US was favored. Man, they still won
16:40
Speaker 1: all that money, but the US was favored. They also
16:43
Speaker 1: had a lot of money domestically on them.
16:44
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, Like they they put them but
16:46
Speaker 2: they still put them at plus money for the majority
16:48
Speaker 2: of the time. They were taking all of the bets,
16:50
Speaker 2: all of the money. I think they knew exactly what
16:53
Speaker 2: they were doing. There's a lot of times you watch
16:54
Speaker 2: an NFL game and you're saying, how on earth is
16:56
Speaker 2: that team favored by three and a half?
16:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, wait, there's eighty per.
17:00
Speaker 2: Son of the bets coming in on the underdog at
17:01
Speaker 2: three and a half and now it's plus four.
17:03
Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense.
17:04
Speaker 2: Somebody knows something, and I want to be with someone
17:06
Speaker 2: they don't lose when they're taking in that kind of
17:08
Speaker 2: cash and that kind of rake.
17:09
Speaker 3: On one side, I'll say this, like US US Men
17:13
Speaker 3: team was definitely tentative in the back all night. Whether
17:16
Speaker 3: or not that was there, whether or not that was
17:18
Speaker 3: their best performance, I'll agree with you there. I think
17:21
Speaker 3: they could have definitely played better. But I still think, yeah,
17:24
Speaker 3: they the better t won last night. I still think
17:26
Speaker 3: it's the reality of it.
17:27
Speaker 1: I still think there's been progress, but this was a setback,
17:30
Speaker 1: and the the screw up by the goalie is one
17:32
Speaker 1: of the one for the agents. That was a colossal,
17:36
Speaker 1: A colossal like that was it could have been a
17:38
Speaker 1: foul but you can't. That was just like colossal screw up.
17:42
Speaker 2: That would have been the greatest bailout of all time,
17:45
Speaker 2: but that would have been Nick Young missing the three,
17:48
Speaker 2: turning around and then them calling a landing space.
17:51
Speaker 3: They played like they weren't a little bit used to
17:53
Speaker 3: the stage the whole night, like a little bit tended of, like, Okay,
17:55
Speaker 3: here we are in the route in the knockout stage
17:57
Speaker 3: against Belgium and all these things are happening.
18:00
Speaker 1: You can't do that against a team like that.
18:01
Speaker 3: They were just way too tendedive on both goals early
18:04
Speaker 3: in the first half. There was just you know, I'm
18:08
Speaker 3: not going to get the ball attacking you when you're
18:10
Speaker 3: in the back. You have to attack at balls and
18:12
Speaker 3: clear them, you know, with more confidence.
18:14
Speaker 1: They just didn't have it. So they just didn't have it.
18:17
Speaker 3: But but I think it is interesting that the conversation
18:21
Speaker 3: totally changed it last twenty four hours between just the
18:25
Speaker 3: way people wanted to make this about something besides soccer.
18:28
Speaker 3: But to me it was clearly about soccer in the end,
18:30
Speaker 3: and that it's to your point, Billy, but and.
18:33
Speaker 1: Whether he was hurt, just messed up, or Christian polistic
18:37
Speaker 1: bad game, bad game I didn't have a good tournament. No,
18:41
Speaker 1: he wasn't healthy, but who knows that, you know? Yeah,
18:45
Speaker 1: well that's the thing. It's like he was supposed to
18:47
Speaker 1: be the guy that lifted it up and he didn't.
18:49
Speaker 1: He was a non factor.
18:50
Speaker 2: You could definitely tell them that there's a little bit
18:52
Speaker 2: better version of American player, right like you, It does
18:55
Speaker 2: seem like they're getting into a little bit different tiers. Yes,
19:00
Speaker 2: like this is and and we can have this conversation
19:02
Speaker 2: again in what eleven hundred days when uh we when
19:05
Speaker 2: we get bounced side of the next World Cup and
19:08
Speaker 2: cope and talk about it in a number of different ways.
19:10
Speaker 2: But like the big dude that scored the last goal
19:13
Speaker 2: for Belgium who ran down into the corner and my
19:17
Speaker 2: man was juiced that dude's playing for Alabama, right the
19:22
Speaker 2: guy here domestically that looks like that, and is that
19:24
Speaker 2: athlete is playing basketball at Kansas. There's a number of
19:28
Speaker 2: incredible athletes and until they all get funneled into the
19:31
Speaker 2: youth program, I don't know that it changes a ton.
19:34
Speaker 1: But my man punch was picked last night. Yeah, Pochettino was, Well,
19:39
Speaker 1: he might be done too, because it's like I've taken
19:41
Speaker 1: this as far as I can go. Someone else can
19:42
Speaker 1: pick it up.
19:43
Speaker 2: And I was wondering if I was wondering if he
19:46
Speaker 2: was going to have the full Magic Johnson converce like
19:48
Speaker 2: press conference after So, how are we gonna rectify this
19:51
Speaker 2: over the next four years?
19:52
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's.
19:56
Speaker 3: With the US might be his last time. Coaches when
20:00
Speaker 3: they didn't play the best.
20:01
Speaker 1: One thing, you one thing that they got, one thing
20:04
Speaker 1: that will have to be adjusted, and you got to
20:06
Speaker 1: be on your top. You need your stars to show
20:08
Speaker 1: up and all that stuff. But you look at some
20:10
Speaker 1: of the major players that are still left. You play
20:13
Speaker 1: your worst game of the World Cup in the opener
20:17
Speaker 1: and improve from there. You don't play your best game
20:19
Speaker 1: first and then dump on yourself. And it's a little twist.
20:25
Speaker 1: It's a little we gotta go. We gotta go one
20:27
Speaker 1: to eighty, like you gotta survive your own bad performance
20:31
Speaker 1: and then move on and get better every game. We
20:33
Speaker 1: did not see that far.
20:35
Speaker 2: Let's take some notes so we remember them next time. Yeah,
20:39
Speaker 2: we'll put this going forward into the next world.
20:41
Speaker 1: We're in the same we're in the same We're in
20:45
Speaker 1: the same bucket as Germany and Brazil and other teams
20:47
Speaker 1: are like, oh god, you know well.
20:49
Speaker 3: That you have more expectations on them then, no doubt,
20:52
Speaker 3: no doubt. But the expectations started to grow because we
20:54
Speaker 3: were enjoying this so well and that's just it so
20:56
Speaker 3: which is fine, that make sports.
20:58
Speaker 1: But those expectations were based on something that was tangible,
21:01
Speaker 1: which was good performances and solid like, hey, this is
21:04
Speaker 1: different when you lose. When you lose your best player
21:07
Speaker 1: for a half hour and still survive, that's like you're
21:10
Speaker 1: showing some some backbone there, and it's like that was great,
21:13
Speaker 1: but then it just disappears.
21:14
Speaker 3: Also, beating teams that were not as good as you,
21:16
Speaker 3: I mean it went, yeah, I mean that's just what
21:18
Speaker 3: it is. Yeah, I want to overcome that a little bit,
21:21
Speaker 3: and you dream of doing that. That's the goal in
21:23
Speaker 3: advancing these starts.
21:24
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man.
21:24
Speaker 2: Luckily, we're only sixty four days away from football that
21:27
Speaker 2: we actually like in that stage, right if you believe
21:30
Speaker 2: in the sports god, only sixty four days away.
21:32
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that's coming up quick. All right, we're
21:35
Speaker 1: off and running two's edition Brewers one. We're gonna hear
21:37
Speaker 1: Hunter's recap. Hunter's gonna join us live. They're going to
21:40
Speaker 1: need a new infielder utility man. I think Jet Williams
21:43
Speaker 1: might be getting the call. That's gonna be a forty
21:45
Speaker 1: man move that will be necessitated. And I will talk
21:48
Speaker 1: about all of that as we move forward on the
21:50
Speaker 1: program today. Take your thoughts. We're gonna do some buying
21:53
Speaker 1: and selling as well. The nicolay lot dot Com Talking
21:55
Speaker 1: text on eighty seven seven seven nine four one ninety
21:58
Speaker 1: seven three. Thanks for getting up early with us five
22:00
Speaker 1: o'clock clubers. You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin
22:05
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Wisconsin nine to twenty, Milwaukee ten seventy, Madison,
22:08
Speaker 1: everywhere on the iheard app live on Facebook X and
22:11
Speaker 1: YouTube for the insomniacs, early risers, associopaths at the health
22:16
Speaker 1: club already. We love you all, Five o'clock clubbers, welcome
22:20
Speaker 1: one and all. So the sobering loss by it doesn't
22:24
Speaker 1: negate what was a great run and it's still gonna
22:26
Speaker 1: be a great tournament. If you watch England Mexico, which
22:28
Speaker 1: was a great match, one for the ages, one of
22:30
Speaker 1: the great sports probably one of the better sporting events
22:32
Speaker 1: we'll see all year. England Mexico. But it might be
22:35
Speaker 1: usurped in the coming weeks by what's to come, right,
22:38
Speaker 1: because you know it's I think it's going to get
22:41
Speaker 1: better as the stakes get higher. Now definitely get better.
22:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, the US fans, well, the I mean, the
22:46
Speaker 2: crowds will be reduced on Brady Street in Milwaukee and
22:49
Speaker 2: all the outdoor viewing parties might be a little bit
22:52
Speaker 2: reduced in the fact that Mexico is out as well
22:54
Speaker 2: doesn't help.
22:55
Speaker 1: But the World Cup, I mean, this is again, it's
22:58
Speaker 1: it's it's an Olympic vibe. Every four years, like people, Billy,
23:02
Speaker 1: we had the discussion about hockey, like did that propel
23:04
Speaker 1: that we're saying, I didn't even look at We're Stanley
23:07
Speaker 1: Cup ratings up this year after did they get a bay?
23:09
Speaker 2: Were up?
23:09
Speaker 1: They were up a little bit, but it ended up
23:11
Speaker 1: did they get a bounce? But it was like, you know,
23:14
Speaker 1: but but everybody, We've been talking about having this debate forever,
23:17
Speaker 1: and I have for years of called soccer the dipping
23:19
Speaker 1: dots of sports, the support of the future because my
23:22
Speaker 1: childhood I was told soccer was going to be number
23:24
Speaker 1: one and that the metric system was coming, and neither
23:27
Speaker 1: one of them. One of them ended up rolling through
23:30
Speaker 1: the soccer is it's it's come to its level and
23:33
Speaker 1: look what it can generate. The World Cup is the
23:35
Speaker 1: world's tournament. This is like that, and it's and it's
23:39
Speaker 1: cool and it's cool to have it here and it's
23:41
Speaker 1: a big deal even when it's in a far flung place.
23:44
Speaker 1: But the US's position at soccer whereas the women dominate, dominate, Yes,
23:50
Speaker 1: but it's analogous. We are in soccer what France and
23:56
Speaker 1: other countries are in basketball. They're just trying to catch
23:58
Speaker 1: up after all the years of like not you know,
24:01
Speaker 1: yeah and oliping players and stuff. But we're so we're trying.
24:03
Speaker 1: We're on the back end of that. So the rest
24:05
Speaker 1: of the world is look at look at the top
24:07
Speaker 1: players in the NBA. It's all from far from places.
24:10
Speaker 1: Eventually our players will be stars in La Liga and
24:13
Speaker 1: Premier League and you know the league.
24:15
Speaker 2: You're starting to get that, right, Like you're starting to
24:17
Speaker 2: get starting to get but also I think you're starting
24:20
Speaker 2: to get like starter level players, right Like is that fair?
24:23
Speaker 2: Like you got like guys that, oh they're in the
24:25
Speaker 2: rotation over here on Newcastle and not the best players
24:30
Speaker 2: in the league. Right where you mentioned France or like
24:32
Speaker 2: other European countries, they're probably closer in terms of basketball
24:36
Speaker 2: than we are in soccer, because I mean, what eight
24:39
Speaker 2: of the last eight MVPs in the NBA have all
24:42
Speaker 2: been international players. Like it's it's wild to see David
24:47
Speaker 2: Stern his dream play out in real time now and
24:51
Speaker 2: sadly he's not able to see it, but you watch
24:55
Speaker 2: the sport be so international. But still the best league
24:58
Speaker 2: is here, Like league where everybody dreams of getting to
25:02
Speaker 2: is right here, right, there's like eight or nine different
25:04
Speaker 2: leagues that I think soccer players dream of playing.
25:08
Speaker 1: So it's been like any we don't. The Olympic basketball
25:12
Speaker 1: thing is not a cakewalk anymore. It's so it's a
25:16
Speaker 1: that's a forty year slog that's about what we've been
25:19
Speaker 1: slogging through and a couple of generations that takes you.
25:22
Speaker 1: It will for sure, it will for sure. And one
25:25
Speaker 1: of the interesting things about this is the way we
25:27
Speaker 1: approach soccer and everybody talks about, oh, the best athletes
25:30
Speaker 1: aren't playing, well, there's good athletes playing and like there
25:32
Speaker 1: are I go Brookfield Catholic Memorial, there's good athletes on
25:36
Speaker 1: the pitch that could be good football players. Or could
25:38
Speaker 1: be you know, good other places. But one of the
25:40
Speaker 1: things that's interesting is look at Norway and the Darling.
25:42
Speaker 1: Look how they're rowing. Forty years ago Norway made youth
25:46
Speaker 1: sports free for everybody in the country. We're making soccer
25:51
Speaker 1: really expensive at the highest levels of travel ball and
25:55
Speaker 1: our development is really expensive and we're creating that. Gee.
25:59
Speaker 1: Forty years later, Norway's on the cusp with doing something
26:01
Speaker 1: wonderful in the World Cup, and their sport has been
26:04
Speaker 1: free for youth sports have been free as part of
26:07
Speaker 1: their and we flipped it.
26:08
Speaker 2: Around and our sports went from free rec programs now
26:11
Speaker 2: those two.
26:11
Speaker 1: Now the only rich kids can play soccer, you know,
26:14
Speaker 1: only the Whitefish Bay and bro Field least, and like
26:17
Speaker 1: only the rich kind of because here it's the world's
26:19
Speaker 1: game you can play. They play with crumpled up socks.
26:21
Speaker 2: Well yeah, you know, well baseball, volleyball, like everything can be.
26:26
Speaker 2: But to Drew's point, though, the strange part about soccer
26:29
Speaker 2: being in that conversation, we talked about it with hockey
26:32
Speaker 2: you got to buy everything, right, Like that's an expensive.
26:36
Speaker 1: The cheapest sport you can possibly play.
26:38
Speaker 2: It should be the easiest and most successful and easiest
26:40
Speaker 2: one to then get the most players into it. Probably
26:44
Speaker 2: is everybody's first sport. Yeah, right, it was the first
26:46
Speaker 2: one I played in first grade or whatever it is.
26:49
Speaker 2: But then like you start splintering off and you go
26:51
Speaker 2: into a bunch of different ones. But I do kind
26:53
Speaker 2: of think, and I was trying to think about this
26:55
Speaker 2: morning in the shower where a lot of times I do.
26:56
Speaker 2: My best thinking was soccer like the first aa U
27:00
Speaker 2: sport in America and then quickly got passed by by everything.
27:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, except for some of those clubs.
27:06
Speaker 2: The club club like volleyball and soccer were the first ones.
27:09
Speaker 1: I remember soccer like it came from the ethnic clubs
27:13
Speaker 1: like the Bavarians, the Croatians, and because that's where the
27:16
Speaker 1: game is retten internationally locally stuff. Yeah, and that's where
27:20
Speaker 1: it was incubated. And then yeah, like we've we're ruining
27:24
Speaker 1: all sports, like very very It's a whole discussion, right,
27:28
Speaker 1: it's a whole different discussion. But but Norway made the decision.
27:33
Speaker 1: And again they're they're the social democracy or whatever, but
27:35
Speaker 1: they're like we're yeah, it's going to be free and
27:39
Speaker 1: lo and behold, here they are on the cusp of
27:41
Speaker 1: doing something wonderful, and they got a team that's captivating
27:44
Speaker 1: the world.
27:44
Speaker 3: They also have a golden generation coming through now, whether
27:47
Speaker 3: or not the Tour corollary, maybe that's true. But they
27:49
Speaker 3: also have Holland, which is one of the great like
27:51
Speaker 3: players in the world, helping them win games.
27:53
Speaker 1: Sure, and he saved them from you know, that helped me.
27:56
Speaker 3: It's like, it's like the Bucks creating finally a championship
27:58
Speaker 3: team as you honest being the centerpiece that would take
28:01
Speaker 3: you over the time.
28:01
Speaker 2: It is just kind of different though, Like, again, we
28:04
Speaker 2: see Holland, he's the best player maybe.
28:06
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, right, He's awesome.
28:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, for him to be the best player on that team,
28:12
Speaker 2: you're like, Okay, that's one that can carry you. When
28:15
Speaker 2: your best player is the second line guy or whatever
28:19
Speaker 2: you'd call it, or just a replacement level player in
28:22
Speaker 2: one of the better leagues, then it makes it difficult
28:24
Speaker 2: to be able to compete at that kind of level.
28:27
Speaker 1: I would I would love for the US.
28:30
Speaker 2: To get to a point where it is the number
28:32
Speaker 2: one sport, but I just I can't fathom that when
28:37
Speaker 2: the money domestically is so greater in all other professional
28:41
Speaker 2: sports than it is in soccer.
28:42
Speaker 3: But it doesn't mean you can't still get better. And
28:44
Speaker 3: I think that's what they're doing. It's just slow and nonlinear.
28:46
Speaker 3: But you're right, Drew or Abilly. I think it's like
28:48
Speaker 3: you guys both said it. Our best players aren't playing soccer.
28:51
Speaker 3: That's just the reality where but the difference is our
28:55
Speaker 3: expectations and how we judge everything in the United States
28:57
Speaker 3: is are we the best in the world that we've
29:00
Speaker 3: I feel that's what we're judging it on, is to
29:02
Speaker 3: try and be number one in the world where there
29:04
Speaker 3: has been real improvement over the generations and over the decades.
29:07
Speaker 3: But it's improvement to get to like top fifteen, struggle
29:10
Speaker 3: to be top ten in the world. But we're But
29:13
Speaker 3: since we're judging it on are we the best, that's
29:15
Speaker 3: a high stand range.
29:17
Speaker 2: Well in granted, Germany might not be the class of
29:19
Speaker 2: this because they're already bounced out and we're sitting right
29:22
Speaker 2: where they are as well. But like when I think
29:25
Speaker 2: it was Rich Eisen I heard telling the story when
29:28
Speaker 2: the NFL teams go over to Munich, one practice at
29:31
Speaker 2: the Bayern Munich Professional Complex, the other one practice at
29:36
Speaker 2: the Bayern Munich Youth Complex.
29:39
Speaker 1: Right at the development complex.
29:40
Speaker 2: He's like, I would actually argue, I think the development
29:43
Speaker 2: one better than the ones for the pros. They're training
29:47
Speaker 2: and developing such great athletes with it. We're even like
29:50
Speaker 2: their best coaches would then be coaching the U twelve thirteen,
29:54
Speaker 2: fourteen eighteen team instead of just you know, the adults
29:57
Speaker 2: who have now been trained and taught the right way
30:00
Speaker 2: developed in practice.
30:01
Speaker 1: I mentioned basketball as the example before, where the rest
30:03
Speaker 1: of the world is catching up to the US, and
30:06
Speaker 1: like baseball, there are a lot of international players. We've lost.
30:10
Speaker 1: Some of the best athletes aren't playing baseball anymore here domestically.
30:14
Speaker 1: Very true, very true. And we did not win the
30:16
Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic Venezuela be the US and a thriller, right,
30:20
Speaker 1: So it's like we don't have that stranglehold after one
30:23
Speaker 1: hundred years.
30:23
Speaker 2: So it just takes time, I know, And it's like, oh,
30:26
Speaker 2: we'll never get there. I'll never say never.
30:29
Speaker 3: We also can't win everything all the time. I mean,
30:31
Speaker 3: we think of ourselves as like the.
30:33
Speaker 1: Well, that's not how we want that attitude.
30:36
Speaker 3: We won't win everything, especially with two fifty and everything
30:41
Speaker 3: like that. I mean, I hope we win all the
30:44
Speaker 3: important stuff, like the important wars and stuff like that.
30:46
Speaker 3: I hope we win all the big stuff. But listen, no,
30:50
Speaker 3: in all seriousness, like we think of ourselves as dukera Alabama,
30:52
Speaker 3: and like if we do this with Olympics, it's like, okay,
30:55
Speaker 3: who's our American in any random sport shooting, archery or whatever.
30:59
Speaker 3: It is hard to win everything all the time and
31:01
Speaker 3: be the best all the time when in reality and
31:03
Speaker 3: soccer we're more like Kansas.
31:05
Speaker 1: State or Creighton r.
31:07
Speaker 3: No. It is we're like breaking into the Elite eight
31:09
Speaker 3: or sweet sixteen is a good year.
31:11
Speaker 2: It's a true uh statement on our on our sports complex.
31:14
Speaker 2: Where like Jordan stoles right has one of the great
31:17
Speaker 2: Olympics starts that you possibly could could ever have, and
31:19
Speaker 2: the only thing that people are talking about is, well,
31:22
Speaker 2: why didn't he win the other four events too? You
31:24
Speaker 2: lost a race, he didn't, he didn't shut the box drew.
31:27
Speaker 2: He could have win six for six and won all
31:29
Speaker 2: of these gold medals. So, I mean it was good,
31:30
Speaker 2: but it's just great.
31:34
Speaker 1: I just heard too.
31:35
Speaker 3: It's just our American sporting ethos that we that we
31:38
Speaker 3: should win everything all the time and if we don't,
31:40
Speaker 3: it's a failure, which there's understandable because we we were
31:43
Speaker 3: you know, we have a lot of resources, we have
31:45
Speaker 3: a lot of people, we have a lot of power
31:47
Speaker 3: and ability and like field that.
31:48
Speaker 1: All these things. But we do win a lot.
31:51
Speaker 3: But it's just like we think about the times we
31:53
Speaker 3: don't win first and it's like, well.
31:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we're not young win everything all the time.
31:58
Speaker 2: I will tell you though, I will be thinking about
32:00
Speaker 2: the goalie pulling the young Way coup for a while.
32:06
Speaker 2: That's a tough look, Mike. In the Dell's five o'clock
32:08
Speaker 2: Cluber on the talking text line, Belgium exposed the two
32:10
Speaker 2: biggest US weaknesses, the back four and the goaltender. Simple
32:14
Speaker 2: as that, Mike and the Dell's Well, Mike, I will
32:16
Speaker 2: agree with you as well that that goaltender was definitely
32:18
Speaker 2: a week spot.
32:19
Speaker 1: Yeah it was yesterday. It was definitely a weak spot.
32:22
Speaker 2: And his foot has to be feeling weak today. I
32:24
Speaker 2: can That's got to be one of the more painful
32:27
Speaker 2: ones to watch. And then they just kept showing it.
32:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's a good lesson.
32:32
Speaker 3: Here is terrible. There's a good lesson in being a fan, right,
32:34
Speaker 3: the levels of losing. So if we would have lost
32:37
Speaker 3: a heartbreaker. Let's say we lost in PK's last night.
32:39
Speaker 3: Is that easier to take than just getting beat like
32:41
Speaker 3: last night? Not making competitive? You make the decision. I
32:44
Speaker 3: don't think either feels good.
32:46
Speaker 1: Now. One's definitely more heartbreaking this one.
32:49
Speaker 2: This one shakes the core of every that makes everybody think, oh,
32:52
Speaker 2: we'll never get there.
32:53
Speaker 1: It definitely kicks you down. This one. The goodwill of
32:57
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks.
32:58
Speaker 3: See, I don't know that I want to talk more
32:59
Speaker 3: about that because I said someone else told me that,
33:01
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I still have good memories of this
33:03
Speaker 3: team in this run. I enjoyed them. They were packed
33:05
Speaker 3: in South Milwaukee last night on Milwaukee.
33:08
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they blocked up.
33:09
Speaker 3: The's gonna take away that those feelings, right, beating Bosnia
33:12
Speaker 3: and winning.
33:13
Speaker 1: I don't know.
33:14
Speaker 2: Maybe you can, you can, you can hold on to them,
33:16
Speaker 2: I do. I mean, I know you're gonna hold them
33:18
Speaker 2: with theirs, but it leaves you with just a hopeless feeling,
33:21
Speaker 2: kind of like David Freeze, like me with a real
33:24
Speaker 2: hopeless feeling in twenty eleven.
33:25
Speaker 1: That's very true.
33:26
Speaker 2: I have great memories of the twenty eleven Brewers. You
33:28
Speaker 2: know how many times I talk about them.
33:30
Speaker 1: Not a whole lot, but be honest, did you expect, Hey,
33:33
Speaker 1: brewers got you a measure of revenge last night? Yeah
33:36
Speaker 1: they did. We're gonna hear from Hunter Bombguard and his recap.
33:38
Speaker 1: Hunter joins US Live at seven twenty five to talk
33:41
Speaker 1: about the Brewers, who another big injury that they got
33:44
Speaker 1: to overcome. We will talk about that next. You're in
33:47
Speaker 1: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin Huddle Up on a Tuesday, Drew,
33:58
Speaker 1: Billy and Arman bringing it to you from headquarters. Today.
34:03
Speaker 1: We're talking about the US men's national teams disappointing exit
34:08
Speaker 1: from the World Cup stage. Hey tried talking about Gianni's
34:11
Speaker 1: exit from Milwaukee and Wisconsin from our sports scene as
34:14
Speaker 1: we turn over a new leaf for the Bucks and
34:18
Speaker 1: his entrance into South Beach.
34:19
Speaker 2: Hey, as I watched more Summer League than I had
34:22
Speaker 2: anticipated last night Braden Berry's I saw him get to
34:26
Speaker 2: the Cup a couple of times before first couple of minutes.
34:28
Speaker 3: And Cam Jones scored eight points. I didn't watch. I'm
34:31
Speaker 3: not gonna lie, but I'm just happy to hear that
34:34
Speaker 3: would you look good in a couple of moments that
34:36
Speaker 3: I watched? So I was excited. Nice, nice, but.
34:42
Speaker 1: We're never far from our awareness. As the Brewers meting
34:45
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and come back another comeback. They didn't do
34:49
Speaker 1: much early, no, I mean Rang made an error that
34:53
Speaker 1: you know, paved the way for the Cardinals to take
34:55
Speaker 1: the lead. Brewers claw their way back and win four
34:57
Speaker 1: to three. That was a phenomenal way to be able
34:59
Speaker 1: to bounce back. That era was the only blemish really
35:02
Speaker 1: on drowing. He has been phenomenal this year. Man, pretty good.
35:06
Speaker 1: You know what else is pretty good? Hunter Bombuart. We
35:08
Speaker 1: have a recap from our boy, Hunter Bombguart brought to
35:10
Speaker 1: us by Import Minded. Take it away, Hunter, Thanks guys.
35:14
Speaker 4: The Brewers get a four to three comeback victory last
35:16
Speaker 4: night over the Saint Louis Cardinals. They've won five straight
35:18
Speaker 4: against the Red Birds this year, and they are also
35:22
Speaker 4: eight and a half up on the Cardinals now in
35:24
Speaker 4: the National League Central Cardinals now forty seven and forty one,
35:27
Speaker 4: Brewers fifty six and thirty three, a season high twenty
35:30
Speaker 4: three games over five hundred. Trevor McGill slams the door
35:33
Speaker 4: in the ninth inning. He gets another save. He is
35:36
Speaker 4: unscored upon in his last thirteen outings.
35:39
Speaker 1: For the Brewers.
35:40
Speaker 4: He's been really good, really since those two hiccups in April.
35:43
Speaker 4: Chad Patrick with a couple of good innings. He's had
35:45
Speaker 4: a great last four games. Change Droen battled out there
35:47
Speaker 4: for six innings, which was big because the team has
35:50
Speaker 4: a double header today and wanted to save all the
35:52
Speaker 4: bullpen arms. They could more on that coming up in
35:54
Speaker 4: a moment. On the offensive side of the Brewers, four
35:57
Speaker 4: runs in the seventh inning, that's all they needed. David Hamilton,
36:00
Speaker 4: who run double, left the game right after with hamstring tightness,
36:04
Speaker 4: and Brewis manager Pat Murphy afterwards saying that as hamstrings go,
36:08
Speaker 4: usually they take a little time to heal, so he
36:10
Speaker 4: does anticipate that with Hamilton. We'll see if a roster
36:13
Speaker 4: move is made today before that doubleheader. Now, of course
36:16
Speaker 4: they'll get a twenty seventh man in the doubleheader today,
36:18
Speaker 4: and I anticipate that to be Robert Gasser, who will
36:20
Speaker 4: likely start Game two. Jacob Zowski gets the starting Game
36:23
Speaker 4: one one fifteen first pitch Game one of the doubleheader,
36:26
Speaker 4: and then Game two, first pitch will be six forty five,
36:29
Speaker 4: and I'll have you for the Baseball pregame show before
36:31
Speaker 4: that game five point thirty until six thirty this evening,
36:34
Speaker 4: getting a set for Game two of the doubleheader and
36:36
Speaker 4: looking back at Game one on Fox Sports nine to
36:39
Speaker 4: twenty in Milwaukee, and of course our social channels also
36:42
Speaker 4: Join you guys at seven twenty five to talk more
36:44
Speaker 4: about the crew. This report brought to you by Import Minded.
36:46
Speaker 4: You're trusted choice for exceptional vehicle care on South twenty seventh,
36:50
Speaker 4: just north of eight ninety four.
36:51
Speaker 1: Back to you guys. Thank you, Hunter B. Now let's
36:54
Speaker 1: go at Hunter B on air. He'll be joining us
36:56
Speaker 1: at seven twenty five to talk about this. Money's on
36:58
Speaker 1: Jet Williams, isn't it?
37:00
Speaker 2: I would think so, Drew right, Like the other reason,
37:02
Speaker 2: why is it just gives you a natural reason to
37:04
Speaker 2: bring him up. I think that that's one of the
37:06
Speaker 2: tough parts when you have a logjam of good players
37:09
Speaker 2: and you're winning these games, and we what was a
37:11
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, Cooper Pratt got promoted, and like
37:14
Speaker 2: right after that, Jet Williams had two homers in a
37:16
Speaker 2: game for the Yeah, and then we got Andrew Fisher
37:19
Speaker 2: telling me that on foul territories like Jet Williams is
37:22
Speaker 2: gonna hit big homers for the Brewers in the playoffs. Man, Okay,
37:25
Speaker 2: I like the full of confidence from you about all
37:27
Speaker 2: your about all your boys being able to take over
37:29
Speaker 2: the hot corner. And maybe it does happen, but you
37:32
Speaker 2: need some kind of a natural reason to.
37:34
Speaker 1: Uh.
37:35
Speaker 2: The adage and the old statement of you don't lose
37:38
Speaker 2: your job due to injury could never be less true.
37:41
Speaker 1: It's it's always it's always kind of not been true, Drew.
37:45
Speaker 2: Uh, and this one, I don't think it's gonna necessarily
37:48
Speaker 2: happen unless he comes up and lights the world on fire,
37:50
Speaker 2: because Hamilton has definitely been fined in something. But uh, yeah,
37:53
Speaker 2: it just makes way too much sense to bring him
37:55
Speaker 2: up for at least a couple of weeks and get
37:57
Speaker 2: him that get him that full taste with a winning team.
37:59
Speaker 1: That uh, don't lose your job to injury has always
38:02
Speaker 1: been like from the get go from Wally Pip was
38:06
Speaker 1: the most famous one, took a day off and lou
38:09
Speaker 1: gerrig set a settled in for the next two thousand games.
38:12
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, it's just like that's professional sports and the
38:17
Speaker 2: only yeah, it's the only way, uh that you're gonna
38:20
Speaker 2: be able to continue to grow the sport and continue
38:22
Speaker 2: to grow the game.
38:23
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see. Hopefully it is him.
38:25
Speaker 2: I was wondering with miss starting game two because I
38:30
Speaker 2: heard Hunter mentioned that uh yesterday on the Baseball pregame show,
38:34
Speaker 2: that he was most likely to start game two. Is
38:37
Speaker 2: there any like rationale to if you have two games
38:40
Speaker 2: in one day as to who you'd start first. Would
38:43
Speaker 2: you rather it made more sense to start him first,
38:45
Speaker 2: so then you can try to stack up and stock
38:47
Speaker 2: up on the bullpen into the later game. Go with
38:50
Speaker 2: your main horse first, because you know Gasser, it's not
38:53
Speaker 2: like it's gonna be a bullpen game. Hopefully you can
38:54
Speaker 2: give you some some some length you desperately need him.
38:58
Speaker 2: I guess it does make the most sense to have
39:01
Speaker 2: him go and unload your best bullet early and see
39:03
Speaker 2: if you can save up some of the pen.
39:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless you find that there's some sort of weird
39:08
Speaker 3: day night split. I don't know what else. I mean,
39:10
Speaker 3: does it really make it?
39:11
Speaker 1: But it might.
39:12
Speaker 2: I'm not I wouldn't even think about the splits. I
39:14
Speaker 2: would think more about the guy, right, like, which one
39:16
Speaker 2: do you prefer?
39:18
Speaker 1: Yeah? I guess I think that is the That is
39:20
Speaker 1: the thinking, though, Billy. It's like if we can get
39:22
Speaker 1: Miss to maybe touch the get you through six, you
39:25
Speaker 1: count on her for six at least and one hundred pitches. Now,
39:28
Speaker 1: they've had a string that terrible timing as always in baseball,
39:32
Speaker 1: but they have had a string of short starts, no doubt.
39:34
Speaker 1: This last trip through the rotation has been pretty brutal,
39:38
Speaker 1: and so they do need to stabilize. And when you
39:40
Speaker 1: got two games in a day, yeah, I would say
39:43
Speaker 1: you're better off having Miss go first.
39:45
Speaker 2: And then you know, you could see hooking uh murph
39:48
Speaker 2: looking at each other yesterday with Drowan, what do you
39:50
Speaker 2: reach like thirty four pitches in that inning and they're
39:52
Speaker 2: looking at each other like the son of a gun.
39:54
Speaker 2: Better figured this out, because we need to try to
39:57
Speaker 2: get as much length on him as possible. And it
40:00
Speaker 2: was to them to be able to go and gut
40:01
Speaker 2: through three more innings after it. That was really really impressive,
40:04
Speaker 2: six and strong.
40:05
Speaker 1: That he game. And that's just the soup they're in
40:07
Speaker 1: right now. I was trying to eat up innings, you know,
40:09
Speaker 1: as pointed out by Mike Vasalo too, the Brewers are
40:12
Speaker 1: now five hundred as a member of the National League,
40:14
Speaker 1: and it took a long time to dig out what
40:16
Speaker 1: a great stat, right stat? So that that was a
40:19
Speaker 1: long time to dig out from that, A little bit
40:21
Speaker 1: like how the Packers had that losing record against the Bears.
40:24
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember thirty years to dig out from that.
40:27
Speaker 1: I was like eleven.
40:27
Speaker 3: I remember trying to do the math on how we
40:29
Speaker 3: could finally overcome like a twenty some.
40:31
Speaker 1: Game deficit to the Bears, and lo and behold, we
40:33
Speaker 1: did it.
40:34
Speaker 3: Now that's one thing I couldn't believe, you know, as
40:36
Speaker 3: I grew older that we I remember looking that thing
40:38
Speaker 3: up and doing the math, like we only played him
40:40
Speaker 3: twice a year, we'd have to win for ten straight years.
40:43
Speaker 1: And oh and then we actually did it. So I
40:46
Speaker 1: was like happy about that great stat.
40:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt pretty stupid when they first sat it
40:50
Speaker 2: on the postgame show and.
40:52
Speaker 1: You're like, haven't they played more games? I thought they
40:54
Speaker 1: meant this year. I'm like, I knew that.
40:56
Speaker 2: I knew the National League was way better than the
40:58
Speaker 2: American League. I'm like, wow, that's a great state. How
41:00
Speaker 2: on early are you twenty four games or five hundred?
41:02
Speaker 1: Oh? You mean all time? Thank you?
41:05
Speaker 2: Okay that if I'm messing that one up, definitely time
41:08
Speaker 2: to turn the phone off.
41:09
Speaker 1: Definitely time for me to roll over and go to
41:11
Speaker 1: bed at that one. Love it, love it all. Right,
41:13
Speaker 1: we're off and running. We're gonna do some buying and
41:15
Speaker 1: selling as we move forward. To take your thoughts about
41:16
Speaker 1: the US men's national team, about Giannis's interesting day, and
41:21
Speaker 1: of course Brewers Sandwich and Cardinals. You have a Muslim
41:26
Speaker 1: guy of pork Sandwich. That all lies ahead. You're in
41:29
Speaker 1: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin,
