06/11/26 - Hour 2 · The Huddle

0:01
Speaker 1: Always said, you show the huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew,
0:09
Speaker 1: Billy and arm and bringing it to you in the
0:11
Speaker 1: after globe. One of the greatest games in NBA Finals.
0:13
Speaker 1: It is one of the greatest games in recent sports memory. Right,
0:15
Speaker 1: amen to that, Drew. Yes, a lot of like of
0:17
Speaker 1: the big stage games have been less than compelling lately, well,
0:23
Speaker 1: especially when you look at the last two Super Bowls. Yeah,
0:25
Speaker 1: that's kind of the yardsticker. Yeah right, I mean like that,
0:27
Speaker 1: that's kind of the benchmark.
0:29
Speaker 2: The National Title game was was good, not great in
0:32
Speaker 2: college basketball.
0:33
Speaker 1: Kind of same in college football.
0:35
Speaker 2: It was compelling, It was close late, but you definitely
0:37
Speaker 2: felt like you knew who was still taking it away.
0:40
Speaker 1: These these have delivered.
0:42
Speaker 2: The Stanley Cup Final and the NBA Finals have delivered.
0:45
Speaker 2: And dude, I just you see young teams do it
0:49
Speaker 2: all the time. It's not like this is brand new.
0:51
Speaker 2: But now this makes it four out of four games, Drew,
0:55
Speaker 2: the Spurs have had a lead in the final two
0:57
Speaker 2: minutes of an NBA Finals and they've lost three of them.
1:03
Speaker 2: I mean, that is that is a tough one to
1:05
Speaker 2: grapple with when you go into the offseason knowing, uh,
1:08
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to stew on this and we're gonna
1:10
Speaker 2: get better. Guys, We're gonna get better. We're we're all
1:12
Speaker 2: gonna learn from this. And you know what, we're gonna
1:14
Speaker 2: be right back here. We're gonna be right back here,
1:17
Speaker 2: will you. Everybody always says you're gonna be right back here.
1:20
Speaker 2: You never know until in five or six years if
1:24
Speaker 2: you're gonna be back there.
1:25
Speaker 3: As the thunder ask a lot of teams. I think
1:27
Speaker 3: also because the NBA is so hungry to make Wemby
1:29
Speaker 3: the face and the star, and because he's not quite
1:32
Speaker 3: doing it. I mean last year was you know, he
1:35
Speaker 3: had a seventh game in the NBA Finals, but because
1:37
Speaker 3: obviously the Haliburton injury, but because it those two teams,
1:40
Speaker 3: it might not have felt the same because you know,
1:43
Speaker 3: it wasn't the sexiest of stars.
1:45
Speaker 2: Were also blowouts throughout that long, right, Like, there was
1:49
Speaker 2: a couple of routes in there. I know Indiana just
1:51
Speaker 2: dominated him in Game six, but there were some there
1:53
Speaker 2: were some duds in there.
1:54
Speaker 3: This one, yeah, but this one, with the chance for
1:56
Speaker 3: the NBA to make wemby their next phase and the
1:58
Speaker 3: Knicks being on the stage age, it just feels different
2:01
Speaker 3: and wow for the age last night.
2:03
Speaker 1: No doubt, no doubt our poet El Baldos Zabin, former
2:08
Speaker 1: co worker, he had he's authored the Ale theory. They
2:11
Speaker 1: always leave early, and Bill, you were talking about the
2:13
Speaker 1: traffic and it seem like it seemed like those fans
2:18
Speaker 1: stayed for like an hour after the game. They didn't
2:20
Speaker 1: want to leave, like if you're that and a little
2:22
Speaker 1: bit like that when the Bucks won, the party inside,
2:24
Speaker 1: the party outside was amazing, but the party inside like
2:27
Speaker 1: you didn't want to leave, and people uh wanted to
2:29
Speaker 1: hang out and maybe touch the court and pictures and stuff.
2:33
Speaker 1: Uh but he he just uh this morning put into
2:37
Speaker 1: the x exosphere a lot of people asking me about
2:40
Speaker 1: my Ale theory after last night. Ale, which again always
2:43
Speaker 1: leave early, is always off for championship games.
2:46
Speaker 3: And series, always couching. I always make fun of him
2:49
Speaker 3: for that, because that's couching. You have to make all
2:52
Speaker 3: these like different you know, exceptions and references. Then you
2:56
Speaker 3: shouldn't be doing that. So I always like to make
2:58
Speaker 3: fun of him for that one. But uh, yeah, I mean,
3:00
Speaker 3: especially if you pay all that money, there's no way
3:02
Speaker 3: I'm leaving.
3:03
Speaker 1: There's no I'm leaving early.
3:04
Speaker 2: Well, that's the tough thing if you if you paid
3:07
Speaker 2: the secondary market, I would also, And I mean Zave's
3:11
Speaker 2: the number one.
3:12
Speaker 1: Guy in it. I'm pretty dang close now, Like.
3:14
Speaker 2: I maybe I've just gotten really old, really really quickly
3:17
Speaker 2: in life. But I stare down that eighth inning. It's
3:20
Speaker 2: great as a great escape. I I'm glaring at that
3:23
Speaker 2: final two minutes, uh, thinking yeah, it might be.
3:26
Speaker 1: It might be a good one to watch.
3:27
Speaker 2: From the from the concourse, we might be able to
3:29
Speaker 2: get back over there. And you want to have the exceptions.
3:34
Speaker 2: You always think that there's gonna be a difference in
3:35
Speaker 2: the rule. There's there's somebody that left, right like there,
3:39
Speaker 2: there's somebody that left. But it happened early enough where
3:43
Speaker 2: I think there were a lot of folks in the
3:45
Speaker 2: building Drew that sensed something could be changing because of
3:49
Speaker 2: how tight like you could it was palpable, how tight
3:52
Speaker 2: the spurs got, especially into the fourth quarter. So maybe
3:55
Speaker 2: there were a few few less ailers, but I still
3:57
Speaker 2: probably to flip the coin.
3:58
Speaker 1: The ale theory also applied yesterday at Oracle Park in
4:02
Speaker 1: San Francisco, where the San Francisco Hygantes were trailing the
4:07
Speaker 1: Nationals of Washington nine to one entering the bottom of
4:10
Speaker 1: the eighth and ended up prevailing in the game eleven
4:14
Speaker 1: to ten on a walk off grand slam. And just
4:17
Speaker 1: think they left.
4:18
Speaker 3: Those people left the stadium thinking, man, this is the
4:20
Speaker 3: craziest comeback today.
4:21
Speaker 1: They scored five in the eighth and then five in
4:24
Speaker 1: the ninth, capped by Bryce Eldridge's walk off grand slam.
4:28
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good comeback. And he's the youngest player
4:30
Speaker 1: in MLB history hit'll walk off grand slam. He's also
4:32
Speaker 1: a strapping young lad, streaking young lad. And I mean
4:37
Speaker 1: I like the confidence because in the postgame interview he
4:39
Speaker 1: said he wants to be the face of the franchise. Yeah,
4:41
Speaker 1: he's like this team, I want to be the face
4:43
Speaker 1: of this franchise.
4:44
Speaker 2: Okay, he's six foot seven, you just might have a chance, brother,
4:49
Speaker 2: And he was raking against the crew. But I looked
4:53
Speaker 2: at my phone, I'm like, holy cow, Nationals, good work
4:55
Speaker 2: on you. Flip that thing off to the side. And
4:58
Speaker 2: then the scroll through social media is how I saw
5:01
Speaker 2: that one. A couple of walkoffs last night, and once
5:04
Speaker 2: I thought it was over. But you are talking to
5:06
Speaker 2: somebody that watched that beautiful Christian Yelich. Is that a
5:09
Speaker 2: three run home run against the White Sox and the
5:12
Speaker 2: thrilling comeback that the Brewers had in the series. One
5:14
Speaker 2: watched that behind the cement truck coming back from American
5:17
Speaker 2: Family Field, so we've seen some, but that's a tough
5:21
Speaker 2: one to be able to top right there, nine to
5:23
Speaker 2: one in the eighth.
5:24
Speaker 1: My goodness, that's a true Ale comeback.
5:26
Speaker 3: I mean that is a true one because obviously you
5:29
Speaker 3: know and you would have thought I didn't go right
5:31
Speaker 3: to the win probability. I think Billy would be happy
5:34
Speaker 3: to know that you know when to come back like
5:35
Speaker 3: this in that Giants game or in the obviously NBA
5:38
Speaker 3: Finals game last night, you think I go right to
5:40
Speaker 3: the win probability chart, Billy, I know to test that one,
5:44
Speaker 3: but you'd be proud of me, Billy. I did not
5:46
Speaker 3: actually do that, So I did not check the win
5:48
Speaker 3: probability to see what it was last night, but I
5:50
Speaker 3: think it was up.
5:50
Speaker 1: Around ninety nine point two or something like that.
5:53
Speaker 3: I can only imagine it was higher for that Giants
5:55
Speaker 3: game because coming back from that situation in the baseball game, Man,
5:59
Speaker 3: incredible incredible stuff. So UH Sports gives it to you
6:03
Speaker 3: every day and it doesn't again. The Dodgers blue lead
6:06
Speaker 3: last night, so just crazy.
6:09
Speaker 1: The Brewers lost last evening, So they lost a series
6:14
Speaker 1: but had a winning road trip.
6:16
Speaker 2: That's a win where your pitching staff is in right now, Drew,
6:19
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna categorize that as a win, especially
6:23
Speaker 2: the fashion in which you win game number one of
6:25
Speaker 2: this series. I mean, there's there's the the lock of
6:29
Speaker 2: the century. It felt like on Tuesday night that somebody
6:31
Speaker 2: was gonna be able to get back off off the
6:33
Speaker 2: mat and the A's were gonna steal that one. I
6:35
Speaker 2: was wondering, how on earth I'm gonna go to bed
6:37
Speaker 2: after that comeback by the next and then I watched
6:39
Speaker 2: the ninth inning of the Brewers game. Luckily the top
6:42
Speaker 2: of the lineup put me right to bed. A good morning,
6:44
Speaker 2: good afternoon, good night for the crew. But once again
6:49
Speaker 2: they played in all their runs in this bandbox of
6:52
Speaker 2: a ballpark within the first three innings, and then it
6:54
Speaker 2: was silent throughout the rest of and Chad Patrick looked
6:58
Speaker 2: somewhat mortal in that in that little league ballpark of
7:01
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Park. But that's uh, that's one where you
7:04
Speaker 2: just ripped the page off. And luckily, is it bad
7:08
Speaker 2: that immediately after the Brewers lose, the first thing I do,
7:10
Speaker 2: instead of, you know, wondering how it happened and checking
7:13
Speaker 2: out the box score, I just go and look at
7:15
Speaker 2: the Cubs result.
7:16
Speaker 1: Well, you do, it is true. I mean, I don't
7:19
Speaker 1: think that that's what I do.
7:21
Speaker 2: And I mean there's a fourth place in the division.
7:22
Speaker 2: Maybe I should go and look what the Cardinals did.
7:24
Speaker 2: Maybe I should try to see what the Pirates did.
7:26
Speaker 2: They came back and beat Otani's Dodgers yesterday. No, it
7:28
Speaker 2: doesn't matter whatever happened to course, what about the White Sox.
7:33
Speaker 2: They're they're mirroring the Brewers. The Brewers got boat raced
7:36
Speaker 2: in that opening series at Yankee Stadium. Yeah, White Sockx
7:40
Speaker 2: came to Milwaukee, got just pummeled. Yep, got molly wopped.
7:43
Speaker 2: And last night they moved into first place in the
7:45
Speaker 2: Ale Center.
7:48
Speaker 1: Against the Braves. Last night it got two to one win.
7:50
Speaker 3: I mean, theme on, they're pretty impressive story right now
7:54
Speaker 3: around baseball, the way they've been doing it, and they're
7:56
Speaker 3: in that weaker al Central, so they have a shot
7:58
Speaker 3: at it.
7:59
Speaker 2: There's the there the story in baseball right now. Right
8:01
Speaker 2: outside of the team that's in their own division that's
8:04
Speaker 2: going to sell the back to back Cy young Ward winner.
8:07
Speaker 2: Right like, it feels like the White Sox are the
8:10
Speaker 2: talk of the sport.
8:10
Speaker 1: Because they're the feel good story. The Tests are the
8:13
Speaker 1: feel bad story. Two ends of the spectrum. That's a
8:18
Speaker 1: good way to look at it.
8:19
Speaker 3: And there's always going to be the Yankees, you know,
8:21
Speaker 3: Dodger situation, But the Brands.
8:23
Speaker 2: Are the best team in ball and nobody's talking about it,
8:25
Speaker 2: right like they just fly by night, and like, okay, sweet,
8:28
Speaker 2: we actually more care about the teams that are cheeks
8:30
Speaker 2: in that division that we thought were going to be
8:32
Speaker 2: amazing in the Phillies and Mets.
8:34
Speaker 1: Uh.
8:34
Speaker 3: And if the White Soxe continue to do this, Billy
8:37
Speaker 3: as we get through the summer, it will be I
8:39
Speaker 3: think one of the more base bigger baseball stories, because
8:41
Speaker 3: it is kind of shocking the way they've been able
8:43
Speaker 3: to turn it around from the depths of despair that
8:45
Speaker 3: franchise seem to be in a couple of years ago.
8:47
Speaker 1: So I'd agree with you there, yeah on that one.
8:50
Speaker 2: Also, pull one good trade and it works out, and
8:52
Speaker 2: you can you can flip some things around pretty quickly.
8:54
Speaker 1: It's crazy how that happens. So Brews in need of
8:57
Speaker 1: a day off, they will fire up uh a weekend
9:01
Speaker 1: series at home with the Phillies in town.
9:04
Speaker 2: And it's gonna be a fun series with the Phillies
9:07
Speaker 2: in town, balls and me flying out of that park.
9:08
Speaker 1: I would assume, I think with some heat because humid.
9:11
Speaker 1: I would think it would.
9:13
Speaker 2: And you mentioned in Drew they desperately needed this day off.
9:15
Speaker 2: I mean they haven't had one all month. The last
9:17
Speaker 2: day off that they had was May twenty eighth, before
9:21
Speaker 2: the Houston series. So it's one of those where like
9:24
Speaker 2: at some point you're gonna have these runs where you
9:27
Speaker 2: just have to you give yourself the opportunity to run
9:31
Speaker 2: five and five in an L ten column and to
9:34
Speaker 2: make it six and four with the Tops turby nature
9:37
Speaker 2: of what this last ten games felt, starting with the
9:40
Speaker 2: Giant series, where you just beat the breaks off of
9:42
Speaker 2: them in game one and then you drop the last
9:44
Speaker 2: two and feel kind of nasty getting onto the plane
9:47
Speaker 2: flying out west. I'll take the four and two road trip,
9:50
Speaker 2: especially when you're going out West any day of the
9:51
Speaker 2: week with the Yeah, I'm old enough as many are,
9:54
Speaker 2: and remember two and four West Coast road trips were
9:57
Speaker 2: a lot more common, you'd sell and it's so good
9:59
Speaker 2: about you're right to be celebrated, right then, I'll be
10:02
Speaker 2: happy to get back in a major league ballpark.
10:04
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it.
10:05
Speaker 3: I mean, no more, no more, like you know, guys
10:08
Speaker 3: hitting their first home or their career in this ballpark,
10:10
Speaker 3: Like how many times are the a's What was it,
10:12
Speaker 3: Akia Williams or Akira Alika Akira, I don't know what
10:15
Speaker 3: his name is.
10:16
Speaker 1: Guy that looked like a movie extra.
10:18
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, this guy looks like a baseball movie extra,
10:21
Speaker 3: like one of the guys from like the bad team
10:23
Speaker 3: in a baseball movie that gets his first career home
10:25
Speaker 3: run because you know, from angels in the outfield. I'll
10:28
Speaker 3: just be happy to get back in a major league
10:30
Speaker 3: ballpark where.
10:31
Speaker 2: That's a loser's lament when there's seven runs score in
10:34
Speaker 2: the game.
10:34
Speaker 3: But I don't care, Billy, all right, It's just I
10:36
Speaker 3: want normal things to happen again. Give me the a's
10:39
Speaker 3: again on a normal major league ballpark. I think we're
10:41
Speaker 3: gonna do a lot better there. There's my excuse for that.
10:44
Speaker 1: All right. So I'll be happy to get back in
10:46
Speaker 1: a regular ballpark.
10:47
Speaker 3: Although it was you know, that was the guy two
10:50
Speaker 3: days ago saying, stop complaining about how weird the series is.
10:53
Speaker 1: It's only too glad. I'm glad you remembered it. I did.
10:56
Speaker 1: Don't worry.
10:56
Speaker 2: That's when we won, right, It's still really entertaining. I
11:01
Speaker 2: really liked seeing being able to enjoy it.
11:03
Speaker 3: It's a memory we'll have if the Brewers would have
11:05
Speaker 3: held out of their lead last night and we're like,
11:06
Speaker 3: all right, two out of three, had that weird kind
11:08
Speaker 3: of series in Vegas in the minor league ballpark. But
11:11
Speaker 3: then it was enough to annoy me where I'm like,
11:13
Speaker 3: all right, we shouldn't have played here. So I kept
11:15
Speaker 3: that non consistent energy for you right there.
11:18
Speaker 1: But it'll be bad. It'll be good to get.
11:19
Speaker 3: Back into a regular ballpark against the regular team, you know,
11:23
Speaker 3: major league team, major league ballpark.
11:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, and things going again.
11:26
Speaker 3: Although the A's were they had some pretty impressive moments.
11:29
Speaker 3: They have some nice young talent and they just nobody
11:31
Speaker 3: knows about them. No, yeah, no, and they they will so.
11:35
Speaker 1: Yeah eight seven seven, seven nine four one nine Nicola
11:37
Speaker 1: dot Com talk and text line Now Packers also were
11:41
Speaker 1: cavorting at Mini Camp and the highlight was the past
11:44
Speaker 1: that I saw from Jordan Love to jayde and Reid.
11:47
Speaker 1: That was sweet music right there, Drew. Yeah, that was
11:51
Speaker 1: a good little uh that wet the whistle a little bit.
11:53
Speaker 1: Oh that'll play yeah, And there's a couple of things
11:56
Speaker 1: that I will just body and just you know, twists
11:58
Speaker 1: around under center, under center play action, Drew.
12:02
Speaker 2: I know that that's what a lot of folks are
12:04
Speaker 2: gonna be waiting for, and I hoping that we.
12:05
Speaker 1: See a little bit more of observation.
12:07
Speaker 2: And then also the I mean that that from the
12:10
Speaker 2: on field work got everybody excited. But man, then when
12:13
Speaker 2: Tucker Craft stands at the locker and let's out the uh,
12:16
Speaker 2: let's the cat out of the bag of when.
12:17
Speaker 1: He's expecting to be back.
12:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see him on the sidelines and walking around practice.
12:22
Speaker 1: He looks phenomenal.
12:23
Speaker 2: I mean, there's not many guys more uh physically put
12:27
Speaker 2: together right now than Tucker Craft. But when he says
12:28
Speaker 2: I feel great, my quad looks great, swelling is minimal.
12:32
Speaker 2: No weird pains, nake's coming well, quad, that would be
12:35
Speaker 2: more groinless, I get it. No weird pains are eights
12:39
Speaker 2: coming out of my treatment. My training, so really excited
12:42
Speaker 2: to get this thing rolling. We're gonna take off talked
12:44
Speaker 2: about I would say, I'm going to be all I'm
12:47
Speaker 2: going to get all the conditioning I need, I need
12:49
Speaker 2: to start camping. I ain't start week one with no
12:52
Speaker 2: pitch count. So he's playing to be back week one
12:54
Speaker 2: with no pitchcount. We'll see if the Packers ultimately allow
12:57
Speaker 2: him to do that. Exact same thing as he said, Drew,
13:00
Speaker 2: he felt like he was the best tight end in
13:02
Speaker 2: football when he went down last year. I don't think
13:04
Speaker 2: there were a lot of people that were complaining or
13:06
Speaker 2: arguing outside of Trey McBride down in Arizona. And that's
13:10
Speaker 2: some of the best news that you could get because
13:11
Speaker 2: we got the let down news, the putdown news of
13:16
Speaker 2: Micah Parsons, and let's tamper the expectations as to when
13:19
Speaker 2: he'll be back last week, just to rise him right
13:22
Speaker 2: back up here at the end of many camp with
13:24
Speaker 2: Tucker Craft potentially busting out being ready to go week
13:27
Speaker 2: one against the Vikings, that's great news to happen.
13:29
Speaker 1: Huge.
13:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, their offense was is so so disjointed when he
13:33
Speaker 2: tapped out and you didn't get her full chance to
13:36
Speaker 2: see him and Christian Watson together rolling on all cylinders,
13:41
Speaker 2: and they've now identified their top four pass catchers if
13:44
Speaker 2: you include Matthew Golden. We didn't see all four of
13:47
Speaker 2: them on the field together once. In twenty twenty five,
13:50
Speaker 2: Justin and.
13:51
Speaker 3: Jacksonville texting in, guys might have talked about it already,
13:54
Speaker 3: but let's get Tucker locked up asap. So that was
13:56
Speaker 3: enough for Justin and Jacksonville just to say, let's let's
13:59
Speaker 3: give him that deal.
14:00
Speaker 1: Let's go. I love that energy. He's gonna get a
14:03
Speaker 1: big deal. He's gonna get a deal. Definitely, will be
14:05
Speaker 1: a matter of when, not if.
14:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I wonder if they if anybody is waiting
14:10
Speaker 2: to see him get back, if if anybody up upstairs
14:13
Speaker 2: in Green Bay would be waiting, or if Drew.
14:15
Speaker 1: I mean, these are two way streets.
14:16
Speaker 2: And you know Luis Lara's interview yesterday with the press,
14:20
Speaker 2: it was really cool to hear him and the story
14:22
Speaker 2: as to how quickly his contract kind of came about.
14:24
Speaker 2: But it takes two to tango, right and like for
14:27
Speaker 2: Tucker craft side it, Yes, you want to get that security.
14:30
Speaker 2: You might want to do what Christian Watson and Jade
14:32
Speaker 2: Reed just did and grab some money right out of
14:34
Speaker 2: the gates and feel like you're set secure and I
14:36
Speaker 2: can go play ball and earn some more. Or he
14:39
Speaker 2: can say I'm gonna earn some more in the first
14:41
Speaker 2: four games and then let's hit that renegotiating.
14:43
Speaker 1: Table in the middle of the year or something.
14:45
Speaker 2: A lot of guys don't want to talk contract once
14:47
Speaker 2: the games start drew, but I got a feeling once
14:50
Speaker 2: he gets back on the field that contract is gonna
14:52
Speaker 2: consummate pretty quickly.
14:55
Speaker 1: What's the who's the highest paid tight end in the league?
14:57
Speaker 1: Because will Tucker Craft enter that strata? Because it seems
15:02
Speaker 1: like those guys are compared to receivers a little bit underpaid.
15:05
Speaker 2: Yes, uh, and Kittle is at nineteen. McBride is alt.
15:10
Speaker 2: Kittle's at nineteen point one. Sorry, I apologize. Oh go on,
15:13
Speaker 2: what's one hundred thousand amongst friends? That's an eagle Kittle
15:16
Speaker 2: nineteen point one McBride nineteen. Underneath that is Travis Kelce
15:20
Speaker 2: with that fugazi seventeen million. Then he got in that
15:23
Speaker 2: weird deal and then it's sixteen for Hockinson and then
15:26
Speaker 2: falls right off so very very cleanly. Could be the
15:29
Speaker 2: first twenty million dollars tight end.
15:31
Speaker 1: That seems to stands the reason. And there's a what
15:34
Speaker 1: a couple dozen twenty million dollar receivers right, oh at
15:37
Speaker 1: least yeah, I mean that's like the going rate for
15:40
Speaker 1: number one receivers.
15:41
Speaker 2: Right, there's what was the annual value for Christian Watson's
15:44
Speaker 2: was twenty seven and I think he ranked fifteenth amongst.
15:48
Speaker 1: The wide receivers.
15:50
Speaker 3: So yeah, there's a ton of those guys, and it's
15:52
Speaker 3: the importance of tight ends continues to increase. We saw
15:55
Speaker 3: that last draft. Is what this last draft, how more
15:57
Speaker 3: guys are being taken? I think that doesn't increase the
15:59
Speaker 3: value of that position.
16:00
Speaker 1: So as you look at the the tectonic plates of
16:03
Speaker 1: salaries in the NFL, running backs are making less and
16:06
Speaker 1: tight ends are elevating. Is that safe to say? I
16:09
Speaker 1: think that's very safe to say. Yep. Yeah.
16:11
Speaker 2: And you're seeing more and more teams realizing, like Armine
16:14
Speaker 2: just said, how valuable they are the twenty If you're
16:17
Speaker 2: making twenty million dollars a year, that would be equivalent
16:20
Speaker 2: to your boy Jacobe Myers, who signed a three year,
16:25
Speaker 2: sixty million dollar deal with Jacksonville and Wandale Robinson annual
16:30
Speaker 2: value of seventeen and a half or Romeo Dobbs and
16:33
Speaker 2: Chris Godwin. That's a different level if you're going for
16:36
Speaker 2: the number one wid tight end on that mark.
16:38
Speaker 1: And then my question would be, and good thing we
16:39
Speaker 1: have these devices to do quick research because Statman Steve's
16:43
Speaker 1: out taking pictures of clouds and son But Statman Steve,
16:48
Speaker 1: we might have to change his moniker shutterbug Steve. I
16:51
Speaker 1: was gonna say, his texts now are mostly pictures and
16:55
Speaker 1: it used to be stats. How he got the name
16:56
Speaker 1: Statman's Deep Yeah, it might have to be mke photo.
16:59
Speaker 2: Steve like, I was like, we're gonna we're gonna have
17:01
Speaker 2: to drop something on there that that we see on
17:03
Speaker 2: spectrums Twitter.
17:04
Speaker 1: My question is it's to the point where tight end
17:06
Speaker 1: is a very important position. You need not just one,
17:09
Speaker 1: but two productive and quality tight ends. So what's the
17:13
Speaker 1: outlay and are we going to see teams spend thirty
17:16
Speaker 1: million just on tight ends and then allocate to receivers
17:20
Speaker 1: because you gotta have to. You need a Batman and
17:23
Speaker 1: a Robin, right, you gotta have two. And the packers
17:26
Speaker 1: the drafted muskra I, they were hoping, they were thinking
17:28
Speaker 1: they were getting to Yeah that and well and Drew.
17:31
Speaker 2: They also have to do a little bit of different things, right,
17:33
Speaker 2: Like you kind of want one to be the blocker
17:36
Speaker 2: crew pass catcher, one to be more of a blocker.
17:38
Speaker 2: You're lucky you have Tucker, who's a legit all around guy.
17:41
Speaker 1: He is a beast.
17:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, right, and he's more in that realm of McBride.
17:46
Speaker 2: Can block a little bit, but he's he's much more
17:49
Speaker 2: of a pass catching guy. You need to You need
17:51
Speaker 2: them to do different things. And the way that the
17:54
Speaker 2: defenses are playing you now is having to be able
17:56
Speaker 2: to run the ball. You need guys that are able
17:59
Speaker 2: to be an additive right there. And some guys are
18:01
Speaker 2: damn near Darryl Darnell Washington there in Pittsburgh, who's a
18:05
Speaker 2: sixth offensive.
18:05
Speaker 1: Lineman out there at almost two ninety. I think I'm
18:08
Speaker 1: old enough to remember when the Packers were paying like
18:10
Speaker 1: what ten or twelve million of Jimmy Graham to not
18:12
Speaker 1: block or catch passes. Hey, now, that was a good investment.
18:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that was on the heels of the Martellis
18:20
Speaker 2: Bennett investment, which was just about it as good. The
18:24
Speaker 2: only guy ever to have a problem with the Packers
18:26
Speaker 2: Medical Star. God, that's a that's a good memory as well.
18:31
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, it's halftime with the
18:33
Speaker 1: Thursday edition of the Huddle, and Scott Dolphin is gonna
18:35
Speaker 1: drop in today provided his house didn't get power knocked
18:39
Speaker 1: out and all that stuff. We'll catch up with Dolph.
18:41
Speaker 1: And we're watching. We have the local news on yes
18:44
Speaker 1: now and yeah, storms are rolling across they're they're talking
18:47
Speaker 1: about this. Yeah, we're thinking about you, Dodgeville, three three
18:51
Speaker 1: bouts of it? What the hell is going? What they
18:53
Speaker 1: do in Dodge County to deserve the constant pounding? Always
18:56
Speaker 1: them they always get pounded. Myira horricon Beaver Dam. I'm
19:00
Speaker 1: gonna stay safe everybody.
19:01
Speaker 2: When you see warning and it says Dodgekin like that
19:03
Speaker 2: one is just it's always got them dot there the
19:06
Speaker 2: final licke in Dodge counsn away.
19:07
Speaker 3: Yes, it is rough for a good part of the state.
19:10
Speaker 3: And today we're gonna have another round of battles. So
19:12
Speaker 3: hunker in, strap up all that right, charge up that
19:15
Speaker 3: weather radio, charge it up, get those batteries ready.
19:17
Speaker 1: Scott Dolphin will join us next year in the Huddle.
19:20
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Drew Billion Arman huddled up on
19:33
Speaker 1: a Thursday in the good Land, and we welcome Scott Dolphin.
19:37
Speaker 1: Mo to fellas to the huddle. Dolphin. It's like we're
19:40
Speaker 1: getting ready. The World Cup gonna kick off, and in fact, football, Paul,
19:45
Speaker 1: the World's foot Ball begins today with Mexico and South
19:49
Speaker 1: Africa two o'clock and the World Cup games are gonna
19:51
Speaker 1: be airing on Fox Sports Radio nine twenty Milwaukee and
19:54
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio ten seventy in Madison, and that includes
19:58
Speaker 1: of course USA park Way at eight pm. But I'm
20:02
Speaker 1: excited about the World Cup. I know it's gonna be cool,
20:04
Speaker 1: there's gonna be great moments, but will anything top what
20:07
Speaker 1: happened last night at Madison Square Garden. No, you're gonna
20:09
Speaker 1: bet the under on that. I don't know how if
20:12
Speaker 1: you're the Spurs, if you come back from this, if
20:15
Speaker 1: the World Cup final goes down to penalty kicks, maybe yeah,
20:19
Speaker 1: that's always exciting, one of the most exciting things in sports, right,
20:22
Speaker 1: But yeah, last night, oh my god. I mean, if
20:24
Speaker 1: you're San Antonio, you're just still shocked and dumb this morning.
20:28
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's such a big swing because if
20:32
Speaker 1: if DeAndre Fox backs out or just dribbles around and
20:35
Speaker 1: doesn't go try to take it to the cups, boneheaded move.
20:39
Speaker 1: If he does that and they hold on and win,
20:41
Speaker 1: suddenly they're going back and you're like, oh, the Knicks
20:43
Speaker 1: are gonna choke this away. This is unbelievable. So at
20:47
Speaker 1: the end, like obviously there's a million moments that want sure,
20:50
Speaker 1: like many of the Packers games against the Bears, Yeah,
20:52
Speaker 1: Packers totally, the Brandon Bosta game. There's like eleven things
20:56
Speaker 1: we can go back and say, this had been different.
20:57
Speaker 1: This it's Murphy's law. Anything that can go wrong will
21:00
Speaker 1: go on. The Domino effect, Yeah, the butterfly effect, that
21:02
Speaker 1: whole deal. Yeah, and that happened last night to fox Man.
21:05
Speaker 1: I mean he even said afterwards, he said, that was
21:07
Speaker 1: just stupid of me to do. There's a real it's
21:10
Speaker 1: kind of one of the reasons he he got the
21:12
Speaker 1: boot out of Sacramento. He would do that every once
21:14
Speaker 1: in a while, but he.
21:15
Speaker 3: Thought he had a clear lane of the basket, right, Like, yeah,
21:17
Speaker 3: I understand if you think you do you take the layup,
21:21
Speaker 3: and that's always even that.
21:22
Speaker 2: Really there's ten seconds to all is everything, All is everything?
21:25
Speaker 2: In that time, it's a race to get to zeros
21:28
Speaker 2: more than a race to get to a three point lead.
21:30
Speaker 3: I agree, but you're I'm just saying it's happened a
21:32
Speaker 3: lot in those situations in basketball where you're gonna get filed,
21:35
Speaker 3: so a lot of times you to avoid the free throws.
21:37
Speaker 3: People do take the basket, even though we always say
21:39
Speaker 3: take the file. Oh, that's that's the kind of bad judgment.
21:42
Speaker 1: That's the kind of play I see up and down
21:43
Speaker 1: through the NCAA tournament and it pisses me off and say,
21:46
Speaker 1: how can these guys who play more games now than
21:50
Speaker 1: ever before AAU summer. These guys play and they play
21:54
Speaker 1: an NBA season when they're thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, they play
21:58
Speaker 1: more than an NBA seasont on right they playing? Like
22:01
Speaker 1: tell me those these guys are playing less than one
22:03
Speaker 1: hundred games, you know, year, and they still don't have
22:06
Speaker 1: the awareness, the situational awareness, and the basketball IQ to
22:10
Speaker 1: negotiate moments.
22:12
Speaker 3: Like well, I just I still think a lot of
22:14
Speaker 3: them are afraid of the free throws and they'd better
22:15
Speaker 3: take the lay up if they can. That's I don't
22:18
Speaker 3: think it's as like, yeah, it's not a bone head
22:20
Speaker 3: necessarily as always being bone headed as much as but
22:23
Speaker 3: also reaction.
22:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's also something that uh, you know, you
22:26
Speaker 2: might be able to discuss in a timeout. That's a
22:29
Speaker 2: good point, Billy might be able to discuss in a timeout.
22:31
Speaker 2: Mitch Johnson, what's up over there on that side? I
22:34
Speaker 2: was glad at least at the four and a half
22:35
Speaker 2: minute mark that he was awake over on the sideline
22:38
Speaker 2: as a seventeen to four run was happening against his team.
22:41
Speaker 1: And when you're when you're what seven or eight possessions
22:44
Speaker 1: in a row or missed threes?
22:46
Speaker 2: Like shut eight consecutive threes, bro fellas, Watch y'all get
22:49
Speaker 2: in here real quick, all right, lunch attention for every
22:51
Speaker 2: single one of you.
22:52
Speaker 1: If I see anybody shooting another trip, how about a
22:54
Speaker 1: paint touch? Yeah? Maybe maybe?
22:56
Speaker 2: What what would the old coach say, I falls, Drew?
22:58
Speaker 2: Why don't you step on in get a better look? Yeah,
23:01
Speaker 2: take a couple of steps in and get yourself a
23:02
Speaker 2: better look. I don't know, maybe a fifteen free throws too.
23:06
Speaker 1: To your point, Arman, but Johnson, his dad is a
23:09
Speaker 1: Milwaukee legend, right, John Johnson.
23:12
Speaker 2: And they're sitting there when Wemby steps up with the
23:15
Speaker 2: what was a minute and forty seconds left or whatever
23:17
Speaker 2: for those free throws huge and he alf You could
23:20
Speaker 2: see he does that super cool deep breath where the
23:23
Speaker 2: shoulders go like all the way up to the shin
23:25
Speaker 2: and then drop down. He couldn't even get the shoulders
23:27
Speaker 2: up because his arms were shaking.
23:30
Speaker 1: On that second one.
23:31
Speaker 2: They zoomed in on him and he left it short
23:33
Speaker 2: right away. And I mean, it happens that the the
23:36
Speaker 2: young team will be affected even more by it. But
23:39
Speaker 2: the basketball IQ, the intel, all this kind of stuff
23:41
Speaker 2: can be aided in that moment. You mentioned it though.
23:44
Speaker 2: With the Kings, you well, one more kick in the nads.
23:47
Speaker 2: The Kings fans. We talked about that twenty eighteen draft.
23:50
Speaker 2: In that twenty eighteen draft, the Sacramento Kings had the
23:52
Speaker 2: second pick. Jalen Brunson was taken in that draft. Shake
23:55
Speaker 2: Gilders Alexander was taken in that draft. This cat named
23:58
Speaker 2: Luka Doncic was taking one pick after they took the
24:01
Speaker 2: second pick in that draft, and they ended up with
24:04
Speaker 2: Marvin Bagley, Oh, who last I think was bagging groceries,
24:08
Speaker 2: like I don't know, I don't know what my man,
24:10
Speaker 2: Marvin Bagley's doing right now. He's probably super successful overseas
24:14
Speaker 2: sure as hell. Ayton Sacramento though, I like that one
24:16
Speaker 2: was as short lived of an experience as he possibly go.
24:20
Speaker 1: And we saw some growth with that team a couple
24:22
Speaker 1: of years ago when they you know, they made some
24:23
Speaker 1: nice trades and then all of a sudden, now it's
24:25
Speaker 1: just again it's looking bleak they had and then they
24:28
Speaker 1: had to watch the I didn't know that.
24:30
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, sweet, there go Marvin Bagley, let's go, come on,
24:32
Speaker 2: congratulations was we'll see I They also have their former
24:36
Speaker 2: head coach when you mentioned the nice little run they
24:38
Speaker 2: had in the second seed, he's not the coach of
24:41
Speaker 2: the Knicks.
24:41
Speaker 1: I'm like that.
24:42
Speaker 2: And uh dearon Fox playing in the finals. There there's
24:45
Speaker 2: also this other kid that they drafted. I can't remember
24:48
Speaker 2: his name, Tyrese Haliburton.
24:49
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was pretty good. He was. He was
24:51
Speaker 1: pretty decent playing in the finals last year. Kings.
24:54
Speaker 2: You talk about ninety percent of being a sports fan
24:56
Speaker 2: is getting kicked in the nads. Ninety nine point nine
24:58
Speaker 2: percent of being a Kings fan, and must be getting
25:00
Speaker 2: kicked in the nads with those numbers.
25:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're in Sacramento, which, other than the capital
25:04
Speaker 1: of the state of California, it's not exactly a juggernaut
25:07
Speaker 1: of a sports although they do have the A's. Actually
25:10
Speaker 1: that's West Sacramento, but they do have the A's playing
25:12
Speaker 1: there this summer.
25:13
Speaker 2: They got a little taste. Yeah, that's true, and probably
25:15
Speaker 2: nice nice weather up there.
25:17
Speaker 1: Right, it's hot. It's one of those places that's it's
25:20
Speaker 1: really hot all the time because you're in the in
25:22
Speaker 1: the agricultural part of California, but you're on the way
25:24
Speaker 1: to Tahoe and Reno, which is nice. Well, I'm always gonna.
25:28
Speaker 3: Be Well, it's like central so you get some of
25:29
Speaker 3: that crop produce the lot of stuff, a lot of
25:32
Speaker 3: In fact, I haven't been to the King's New Arena,
25:35
Speaker 3: but when I lived out there, we'd occasionally go to
25:37
Speaker 3: the old Arco Arena and armand that was in the
25:39
Speaker 3: middle of nothing but farm fields.
25:41
Speaker 1: Well, it's a big pair growing region. From what I read,
25:43
Speaker 1: did Sacramento give Milwaukee vibes like of the city that's
25:47
Speaker 1: you know, sort of a smaller, cooler come on, I
25:52
Speaker 1: think it's it's probably similar size, but I'm with Armond.
25:55
Speaker 1: We had much more of a cooler vibe, at least
25:57
Speaker 1: when I was out there. You know what I found
25:59
Speaker 1: to have real Milwaukee vibes other than the fact that
26:02
Speaker 1: it's got mountains in an ocean. Vancouver, we got to
26:05
Speaker 1: spend some time up there, and it's the most beautiful city,
26:08
Speaker 1: nice and I think the most beautiful city in North America. Really,
26:11
Speaker 1: it's awesome. It's awesome. But when you go through neighborhoods,
26:14
Speaker 1: you could have said, Okay, you're on the east side
26:16
Speaker 1: of Milwaukee right now, and I would have believed yeah,
26:18
Speaker 1: But then like yeah, then you get in the mountains
26:20
Speaker 1: and the water, It's like, holy cat, I don't think
26:22
Speaker 1: we're getting Winter Olympics anytime. So this does look beautiful
26:25
Speaker 1: and it's incredible, and you go to like the Whistler
26:27
Speaker 1: and all that and like the Victoria Yeah a l
26:30
Speaker 1: a yeah.
26:31
Speaker 3: Okay, So so Bagancouver, Cooorland, Sacramento, and it's not close.
26:37
Speaker 1: Is that what we've come up with here in the
26:38
Speaker 1: last Well yeah, well but I was talking to somebody,
26:41
Speaker 1: uh last night, and somebody was talking about Pittsburgh. Came up,
26:44
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, Pittsburgh and Milwaukee and Cleveland are
26:48
Speaker 1: very similar, similar vibes, Like you know blue collar accents
26:52
Speaker 1: are different rust belty, Uh, but Pittsburgh and Cleveland a
26:55
Speaker 1: little bit faster paced in East Coast more but then
27:00
Speaker 1: we're a little bit more laid back, sure, but very
27:02
Speaker 1: similar vibe, like you know, someone's gonna hand your beer,
27:04
Speaker 1: and yeah, those cities are bigger obviously. Now we spent
27:07
Speaker 1: four days in Cleveland last July. We hiked and we
27:09
Speaker 1: went to the Rock, and I did not dig it
27:11
Speaker 1: as much as I thought I would, to be honest
27:12
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, down town there was okay, yeah, it
27:16
Speaker 1: did not a lot happening, but you know, we had
27:19
Speaker 1: a good time. Then there went downtown Milwaukee. You got
27:21
Speaker 1: driving and throw a bowling ball, stay here a tumbleweed
27:24
Speaker 1: to roll out there for a while. Point.
27:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's uh, there's something to the the uh
27:30
Speaker 2: nostalgia both of those ones you mentioned, Drew. There's at
27:33
Speaker 2: least a little bit more East Coast probably in Pittsburgh.
27:35
Speaker 2: But just like in Milwaukee, it's either gonna be a
27:37
Speaker 2: Miller light that somebody's handing your a PBR they're handing
27:40
Speaker 2: in an icy or an icy light icy light in Pittsburgh and.
27:42
Speaker 1: Hanging out and having some times shape and then and
27:44
Speaker 1: then probably just probably yngling too right that's in Pennsylvania.
27:47
Speaker 2: And then being frustrated about the traffic. Right, Like, it
27:49
Speaker 2: does feel like a spot where you can get right
27:51
Speaker 2: back into your roots pretty quickly.
27:53
Speaker 1: Guys who travel at least in the major leagues, they
27:55
Speaker 1: refer to Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Cleveland as like sleeper towns, like
27:58
Speaker 1: you go in there and if you go in in

28:23
Speaker 1: in West Allis. That's what we heard what the pod
28:24
Speaker 1: raiser are doing, right a couple of weeks ago that
28:28
Speaker 1: there was really I don't I don't think well, there
28:30
Speaker 1: was a story on the Miz showing up at the
28:32
Speaker 1: cars saying hello, to a kid and and it went
28:34
Speaker 1: on social media and the owner said at that time,
28:36
Speaker 1: that's some of the I think it was the Podrais.
28:38
Speaker 1: Were they in a few weeks? Yeah? They were in
28:39
Speaker 1: a few weeks. Yeah. Yeah, the pods had stopped in
28:42
Speaker 1: as well. They changed.
28:43
Speaker 3: Yea.
28:44
Speaker 1: Well, listen, everyone's in for the command.
28:47
Speaker 2: We got to see we can get what kind of
28:49
Speaker 2: Pokemon slates they got in here to you bet?
28:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's massive Pokemon yu gi Oh? What was your billy?
28:55
Speaker 1: What were you more of Pokemon yu gil? I was
28:57
Speaker 1: more yu gi Oh?
28:58
Speaker 3: Yeah?
28:58
Speaker 2: I was now was a bigger fan the yu gi
29:00
Speaker 2: Oh show. Yu Yo Yugi was a weapon? Oh ye
29:04
Speaker 2: had that sweet that he had on his arm. I
29:06
Speaker 2: begged my parents to get me that one for a
29:07
Speaker 2: long time. But if I had, if I still was
29:12
Speaker 2: able to access the shoe boxes full of those cards
29:15
Speaker 2: that I had, granted they're probably they'd be all destroyed
29:18
Speaker 2: and muddled up and bent through because I was definitely
29:21
Speaker 2: playing the game. Everybody totally knew how to play the game.
29:24
Speaker 2: I would just wonder if I had any gems in there.
29:28
Speaker 1: Every everyone thinks that they threw away their Beanie Baby collection.
29:31
Speaker 1: That would have paid for their mortgage.
29:33
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, no, I was the tough thing is
29:36
Speaker 2: I got to my kid just crumbled up these two cards.
29:39
Speaker 1: I'm like, buddy, what are these things? Oh oh, oh oh, why.
29:42
Speaker 2: Am I seeing these Jacob Mizerowski rookie cards that you
29:45
Speaker 2: had here the first time? Bent like it's a paper football.
29:49
Speaker 2: You never know what could be in put our bikes.
29:53
Speaker 1: That's true. We flipped for that's my dad. I would
29:55
Speaker 1: have had all the fifty seven tops Yankees if I didn't. Okay,
29:58
Speaker 1: here we go again. It was well. And when I
30:01
Speaker 1: met Tim Dillard's dad and I told him like, hey,
30:03
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's heard this many times, but I used
30:05
Speaker 1: to get your baseball card in every pack and he goes,
30:07
Speaker 1: really and I said, yeah, you and Biff Poka Roba
30:09
Speaker 1: and he laughed. He says, I know, Biff, that's funny.
30:11
Speaker 1: And I'm like, literally, I got packs like another Steve
30:14
Speaker 1: Dillard and another Biff Poker Roba. One of the best
30:16
Speaker 1: names in baseball history, Biff Poker Robo. It was a
30:19
Speaker 1: great one. That's amazing. Those were the cards of our youth.
30:22
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm like Dolph of these kids, like armor
30:25
Speaker 1: was it teenage mutant Ninja Turtles for you missed that
30:28
Speaker 1: wave or because that was that's more of a millennial time.
30:31
Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles was definitely, yeah, it's more his era. But
30:33
Speaker 1: I mean that's what I thought. I collected cards, a
30:36
Speaker 1: lot of cards. I colicked it, but it was sports cards.
30:38
Speaker 1: Car of course you didn't be that cartoon cartoon cards.
30:41
Speaker 3: I collected baseball cards and basketball cards and football cards.
30:44
Speaker 3: You still have some, Uh yeah, I do have a
30:46
Speaker 3: couple of boxes somewhere and a couple I used to
30:48
Speaker 3: a couple of years. I had a top set and
30:50
Speaker 3: then arranged them by team, and I just can't bring
30:53
Speaker 3: myself to part with them.
30:54
Speaker 1: So maybe my kids will be interested. I doubt it.
30:57
Speaker 3: Dobey told me that's your only chance because none of
30:59
Speaker 3: the ninety tops are worth I have like all the
31:00
Speaker 3: nineties top sets, and I'm like, I asked Dobe at Maxwell,
31:03
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, what are they gonna be worth?
31:05
Speaker 1: Because he's the expert.
31:05
Speaker 3: He's like, they're worth firewood arm and just keeping for
31:07
Speaker 3: your kids and keeping for your memory.
31:09
Speaker 2: No anything, anything pre eighty nine is the one that
31:12
Speaker 2: really starts going and everything posts, you know, two thousand
31:15
Speaker 2: and five or so on. The cards definitely has a
31:16
Speaker 2: lot more value because there was just so many there
31:18
Speaker 2: in the nineties.
31:19
Speaker 1: Based on scarcity.
31:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, if everyone had them, they're not gonna be worth anything,
31:22
Speaker 3: even if it's the best player, Ken Griffy Rookie and.
31:25
Speaker 1: They are crazy valuable Honus Wagner rookie. I don't have that.
31:29
Speaker 3: If I had that, Now, if I had, if I
31:31
Speaker 3: had a something like that, then I'd be selling it,
31:33
Speaker 3: all right, Billy, not my finals tickets, But then I'd
31:36
Speaker 3: be saying.
31:36
Speaker 1: Then you'd be selling Was it Gretzky or somebody that
31:38
Speaker 1: had the Honus Wagner? I don't know. They're faking those
31:41
Speaker 1: a lot too, are they didn't Charlie Sheen have one?
31:43
Speaker 1: Maybe that was it. I don't have one. Here had
31:45
Speaker 1: some rare cards too.
31:46
Speaker 3: It's just a trophy for rich people. Oh I got
31:48
Speaker 3: a Holeness Wagoner T one hundred whatever they call. You
31:50
Speaker 3: don't have T one twenty.
31:51
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah. They came with a cigarette pack. Sure it was.
31:54
Speaker 1: It was a tobacco card, that's right. Yeah. Back way
31:56
Speaker 1: before tops well and back in our ero they uh,
31:59
Speaker 1: you know, you didn't want the cards on the outside
32:01
Speaker 1: of the pack, and there was the gum residue that
32:03
Speaker 1: would hit like the that's rightiness of the gum whatever
32:05
Speaker 1: that preservative powder they would put a gum, that gum
32:08
Speaker 1: would survive the nuclear.
32:11
Speaker 2: Still still can show that stuff of all sudden, the
32:14
Speaker 2: packs from the eighties, but it goes in cycles of
32:17
Speaker 2: arm and there might be a point where nineties cards
32:18
Speaker 2: are back because everybody threw theirs a way.
32:20
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to keep just in case, and you know
32:23
Speaker 1: who's who's to say, And it went through ways like
32:25
Speaker 1: once COVID hit never was organizing their cards out of boredom.
32:28
Speaker 1: It's like then the market started to pop. Yeah, it
32:31
Speaker 1: was like that was wild. I don't think you could
32:34
Speaker 1: make a living on it, but.
32:36
Speaker 2: Oh big time can. I mean like you're looking at
32:38
Speaker 2: you yeah, I mean you're you're looking at this is
32:41
Speaker 2: a this is a different spot. Like I mean, some
32:44
Speaker 2: of the most famous or popular videos right now online
32:47
Speaker 2: are guys just breaking packs and breaking boxes and they're
32:51
Speaker 2: buying and selling for three hundred dollars. You get the
32:53
Speaker 2: a's in this box. So every A that comes through here.
32:56
Speaker 2: As I ripped through twelve or fourteen packs, you get
32:59
Speaker 2: all those. You know, maybe you get lucky and you
33:01
Speaker 2: get an autograph or you get a jersey card. Otherwise
33:03
Speaker 2: you're finding up with a bunch of Lawrence Butler's one.
33:06
Speaker 1: When I leave my Pick and Save in Debut after
33:08
Speaker 1: a week of grocery shop and there's a massive Pokemon
33:13
Speaker 1: machine right in the vegetable as you go out, and
33:15
Speaker 1: there's always somebody there feed money into that thing.
33:17
Speaker 3: Your point, billion, though, it is more about the influence.
33:19
Speaker 3: That's how you made people make a living. It's about
33:21
Speaker 3: the influencer. They become influencers.
33:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yes and no.
33:24
Speaker 2: I mean like the guys that are selling at card
33:28
Speaker 2: shops and card shows, they're not influencers necessarily. Those guys
33:31
Speaker 2: just have bundles and they're selling them off for one
33:34
Speaker 2: to one K three K. I mean, there's ridiculously big
33:38
Speaker 2: money in there that that is rolling through here. It's uh,
33:41
Speaker 2: it's no longer just oh, my Aunt Girtha gave me
33:45
Speaker 2: a box of tops to rip through here.
33:47
Speaker 1: It's a it's a full business. Just kicking myself when
33:49
Speaker 1: I hear this that and all my my old you know,
33:51
Speaker 1: vintage vinyl back in the day when I was a kid.
33:53
Speaker 1: I wish music is so collectible too.
33:56
Speaker 3: It's coming back last week, and I went to a
33:59
Speaker 3: whole bar that only did Vinyl right.
34:02
Speaker 1: Arlon's listening lounge. So that means we'll get more of
34:06
Speaker 1: those here now, because I remember like years ago going
34:08
Speaker 1: to Kansas City and there were these cigar bars and
34:10
Speaker 1: I saw these like hot girls smoking cigars and you know,
34:13
Speaker 1: hanging out. And five years later we got one, Like,
34:16
Speaker 1: we're five years behind Kansas City. That's not good what
34:20
Speaker 1: we're doing. So did the Pokemon card machine replace the
34:23
Speaker 1: red Box? DVD Rental pretty much did Kiosk right there
34:27
Speaker 1: next to the lottery tickets. Red Box was huge for
34:34
Speaker 1: a hot second. That was huge. You'd see outside Walgreens
34:36
Speaker 1: a lot, big time, and maybe you still do, right
34:39
Speaker 1: next to the payphone. But red Box came in right
34:41
Speaker 1: the red Box right around the same time. Remember Netflix,
34:44
Speaker 1: I remember, h we had a sales guy here, came
34:46
Speaker 1: in one day says, you have you heard about this Netflix?
34:48
Speaker 1: You get like three movies and then when you're done,
34:51
Speaker 1: you just mail them back and then they mail you
34:52
Speaker 1: three more. Netflix is kind of advancing.
34:55
Speaker 3: They just finally ended that program because my mom was
34:57
Speaker 3: one of they still have it. Well, I thought they
34:59
Speaker 3: ended it or something my mom was doing. Yeah, I
35:02
Speaker 3: think they were still My mom was doing that right
35:03
Speaker 3: to the end. She was still sending back DVDs like
35:06
Speaker 3: two or three years.
35:07
Speaker 1: I didn't know that it lasted this long.
35:09
Speaker 3: Well, during COVID that might have been nice for some
35:11
Speaker 3: people that didn't want to stream. Yeah, and just something
35:13
Speaker 3: interesting in getting the mail.
35:14
Speaker 1: I don't know it was.
35:16
Speaker 3: It was one of those things that hit at the
35:18
Speaker 3: right time and then would flame out, obviously because of technology.
35:20
Speaker 1: So that speak to our laziness. Was that a sign
35:23
Speaker 1: because people instead of going driving to Blockbuster, they would
35:26
Speaker 1: rather just sit on their ass so much and like,
35:28
Speaker 1: rather than going to Taco Bell, I'll hit Uber has
35:31
Speaker 1: replaced that, rather than going to the mall, just have
35:34
Speaker 1: somebody drop three packages on your porch. All right?
35:37
Speaker 2: When when do we think that Netflix officially ended their
35:41
Speaker 2: iconic DVD by mail service.
35:43
Speaker 1: I thought it was a.
35:43
Speaker 3: Long time ago, but apparently now, I'll say twenty three,
35:46
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three.
35:47
Speaker 1: Oh, you got the month too, No, September twenty ninth,
35:52
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three.
35:53
Speaker 2: They officially ended, with the company sending out their final
35:56
Speaker 2: batch of famous red envelopes and completely shut down operation
35:59
Speaker 2: of that after twenty five years of mailing movies.
36:03
Speaker 1: And people have short term memories, they forget. That was
36:06
Speaker 1: what we thought when we thought of Netflix, we thought, oh, yeah,
36:08
Speaker 1: that's the mailing service. Just like Amazon. It was all books. Books.
36:12
Speaker 1: There's still a video of Bezos on YouTube floating around
36:15
Speaker 1: where he's standing in New York City wearing a boat
36:16
Speaker 1: tie and he said, here's my idea. Books are the future.
36:19
Speaker 1: We're gonna do books. We're gonna do a lot of books,
36:21
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be about mailing books right to and
36:23
Speaker 1: he just goes on and on and on about this.
36:25
Speaker 1: It was just books. That's when I must have the
36:27
Speaker 1: right to buy it, right And they did turn it down. Good.
36:30
Speaker 3: How one thing changes history. We talk about it in
36:33
Speaker 3: sports and situations like this. There is nuts pretty good.
36:36
Speaker 1: Hey dog, thank you for popping in asciate it for
36:39
Speaker 1: the halftime report. We'll move forward. We might talk to
36:42
Speaker 1: Hunter Bomguart, but he doesn't have power, so he might
36:44
Speaker 1: not be able to. I'd be tough, might be nice, tough, Thanks,
36:47
Speaker 1: might be tough. We'll find out. You're in the huddle.
36:50
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
36:56
Speaker 4: Thanks guys a tough one last night for the Milwaukee Brewers,
36:59
Speaker 4: falling four to three in the series finale. They had
37:02
Speaker 4: a three to one lead heading to the seventh inning,
37:04
Speaker 4: but unfortunately Chad Patrick gave up three runs in three batters.
37:08
Speaker 4: Just unlike him. He's been dyning Knight out of the
37:11
Speaker 4: bullpen as of late, but unfortunately that was not the
37:13
Speaker 4: case last night, and the Brewers fall four to three.
37:16
Speaker 4: They couldn't muster a comeback. Brandon Sprote though his best
37:19
Speaker 4: start since April. He completed six innings for the first
37:22
Speaker 4: time since mid April and allowed just one run, so
37:25
Speaker 4: that was a great step in the right direction for Sprote.
37:27
Speaker 4: But otherwise, unfortunately, other than the Gary Sanchez and Jackson
37:31
Speaker 4: Curio home runs early Burrs, offense couldn't come through with
37:34
Speaker 4: runners in scoring position. So the Brewers lose just their
37:37
Speaker 4: second series in their last thirteen, which is a really
37:41
Speaker 4: good mark. So we don't want to get too disappointed. However,
37:44
Speaker 4: you'd never like losing a series, but we leave the
37:47
Speaker 4: Vegas series behind and we now moved to this weekend,
37:51
Speaker 4: which starting tomorrow night, it'll be the Phillies in town.
37:53
Speaker 4: In Milwaukee, Jacob Mazarowski will get the mound coming up
37:57
Speaker 4: Tomorrow night, six forty. First pitch Shane Drow and I'll
38:00
Speaker 4: get the start on Saturday, and then on Sunday in
38:02
Speaker 4: the series finale, it'll be Kyle Harrison. I'll have you
38:04
Speaker 4: for Milwaukee Baseball tonight coming up at six o'clock this
38:08
Speaker 4: evening on Fox Sports nine to twenty and our social
38:10
Speaker 4: media channels, talking all about the A series and looking
38:13
Speaker 4: ahead to the series against the Phillies this weekend. We'll
38:16
Speaker 4: also talk a little bit about the Luis Lara contract
38:20
Speaker 4: as well, coming up tonight at six.
38:22
Speaker 1: Back to you guys, Thank you Hunter, Hunters, but import
38:26
Speaker 1: minded your go to experts on twenty seventh Street, just
38:30
Speaker 1: north of eight ninety four.
38:31
Speaker 2: So when I was driving up on Monday to listening
38:34
Speaker 2: to you guys before going to the Children's Wisconsin events,
38:38
Speaker 2: did I hear Hunter right that the Dodgers series was
38:41
Speaker 2: the only series they had lost since the Pittsburgh series.
38:44
Speaker 1: Yes, that was the NFL Draft. Unbelievable. Just that's just
38:50
Speaker 1: put that again in God.
38:51
Speaker 2: And that was the NFL Draft weekend when the Pittsburgh
38:54
Speaker 2: Pirates came here and took two to three. So it's
38:56
Speaker 2: an insane run there on. It's just there's gonna be
39:00
Speaker 2: months in a baseball season, Drew right where you gotta
39:02
Speaker 2: go five hundred. Yeah, you just gotta go five hundred.
39:05
Speaker 2: And I know that that's a tough thing to do,
39:06
Speaker 2: especially when you rattle off twenty and twenty out of
39:09
Speaker 2: twenty seven games. There's gonna be a moment where you're
39:12
Speaker 2: gonna come back down to earth a tick. And if
39:14
Speaker 2: this is your coming back down to Earth sounds okay,
39:17
Speaker 2: you'll take it. You'll take it and figure it out.
39:19
Speaker 2: Going six and five or six and four in a
39:22
Speaker 2: ten game span, that's it's hard to be that consistently good,
39:27
Speaker 2: and to be that good with a pitching staff that again,
39:31
Speaker 2: the back end of the rotation right now, you've got
39:33
Speaker 2: a great start from Sprout last night.
39:35
Speaker 1: Much better than I think a lot of folks were anticipating.
39:37
Speaker 2: You're gonna see from Brandon sproat right spot, but you're
39:40
Speaker 2: battling so many injuries in that back end of the rotation.
39:43
Speaker 1: You take it right now.
39:44
Speaker 2: This is this is why you build yourself that nice
39:46
Speaker 2: little cushion of fifteen games over five hundred that you
39:49
Speaker 2: can get Vegas to come.
39:50
Speaker 1: That's where it comes into play. And then that lets
39:52
Speaker 1: you celebrate when the Cubs lose to a row to the.
39:55
Speaker 2: Rockies, dude, And I uh, it's hard to sweep a
39:59
Speaker 2: serious We just talked, we just talked about that last
40:01
Speaker 2: week with the Giants, But come on, Colorado, why not
40:05
Speaker 2: just put the salt in the world. And one more
40:08
Speaker 2: loss for the Cubs and they had went under five
40:10
Speaker 2: hundred team with two ten game winning streaks and a
40:13
Speaker 2: ten game losing streak, and they could be under five
40:15
Speaker 2: hundred by Arman's favorite day and line of demarcation flag day.
40:19
Speaker 1: Day three more days. Sorry, all right, we're gonna be
40:24
Speaker 1: back to close up shop for the six o'clock hour
40:26
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be back with a vengeance. You're in
40:29
Speaker 1: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin
