  Speaker 2: you for going. And third of all, I'm not surprised
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: it was packed. Everyone's ready to party on a Friday. Yeah,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: it was pretty brisk business, including one of our Milwaukee
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: County sheriffs. Hey, there we go. Stopping in.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: They get themselves lathered up, ready to roll.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: They got a few up, too. They do. You know
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: what I mean? They do. Saw a couple of cops
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: last week. I love it. A couple of cops of cops?
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Cops of cops. Right, exactly. How about that? How about that?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: How's that happen? My dad thought that was hilarious. So
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: we're the cops.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Walking dad joke. We are spinning into a Labor Day weekend.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: We won't be in on Monday. A lot of folks
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: off on Monday. It's going to be a blast.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Laboring like nobody's business.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: We've got Brewers Reds over the weekend. Brewers Cubs is over.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: We're going to go through some withdrawals. And last night's
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: game felt like a playoff game. That's what playoff games
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: often look like.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Two to one.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Their guy pitched a little bit better. You hit the
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: home run with a guy on base. Yeah, you didn't
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: find that basket in straightaway center field.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: That's the only thing.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: The little basket, all you need is somebody to reach
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: on out there, Drew, and pull that thing on over.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Close moments, though. Dang, Cheerio was close.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Four days ago, Brewers go in there with an eight-game lead.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: They play four games and come out with an eight-game lead.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I think there was a smart host who said, this
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: is probably going to be a split. It's probably going to.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Most four-game series, a lot of them are splits. And
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it's where we are, and the Brewers held serve. It
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: was fine. It would have been nice to win last night,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: put a stamp on things. But you just tip your
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: cap and move on. Gosman pitched... slightly better than Henderson.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: They were both spectacular. The game was two hours and 12,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: 14 minutes.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: It was a beautiful game. I got to watch it all. Yeah.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: And Drew, as you mentioned, that's a playoff game. You're
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: going to play games like that.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: And if you, if you fall that way, no harm,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: no foul, get them the next day.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: And luckily you'll get them again coming.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Up on Monday, but Gosman and Holmes, if you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: you really dig into what happened, I guess, in these
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: two games, there are two guys that they had to
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: pick up at the deadline, both shoved and and helped
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: win their two games. And you got to save yourself
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: in a Mizorowski start that was then worst one of
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: the year. And then came back up off the mat
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: after giving up 17. So I think both teams can
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: feel good coming out of it. And then as we
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: said now, if you win one in the next three, awesome.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: If not, I still don't believe it's much of a
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: big deal because it would be five and what, 14
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: days to go?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: It's just not enough time. Yeah, the division's over. It's
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: not a big deal.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: But that part of it, is you would have liked
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: to get a window further, kind of push the Cubs
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: down and see what you can do to get them
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: to struggle.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, just to suck the life out of them
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: going into next week, which the Brewers kind of already did.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And right in the midst of doing it. Yes.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Division is, is it's over eight games with 21 to play.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: And yeah, you got the three head to heads, but.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I've seen Logan succeed. The math is the math. Yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Seeing Logan pitch well, I think, is a success, even
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: though he didn't get the win, obviously. He was terrific.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he gave up one to PCA, who got it
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: off the dirt.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: That was an incredible PCA. Yeah, man, that wasn't even
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: a strike. Yeah, that's a hat-tipper right there. Change up
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: out of the zone, he golfed it out. But that's it.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: It's the MVP, man. You got the mojo going.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Cubs didn't even get a hit after the fourth, so
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: you have to feel good about his start and how
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: he performed, considering.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no shame in that loss. There's nothing to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: ruminate over. It's like, yeah, well, their guy pitched great, too, and.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You didn't do anything. You scored one run and they
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: scored two. So just tip your cap and move on.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: It was one of those games.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: The only reason why you would have wanted to win
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: it more was the stuff that was happening with the
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: other pro athletes in the game. I really didn't care
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: much in the midst of Brewers and Cubs. I think
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: that matchup's done. You definitely wanted to beat it to
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: smack Oshkosh North's own back over to their home border.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Tyrese Halliburton.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: As apparently Tyrese Halliburton trying to you know, bridge the gap,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: mend the fences, put a bridge up. Cause you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: maybe Cattell Marte burned it down, but it's lighting the
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: way for them to go from Chicago to Hammond, Indiana.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: And then as you see the first picks of, you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Caleb Wilson and Caleb Williams right behind the Cubs dugout,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: that'd have been nice for them to see what happens
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: when all of a sudden the Brewers, you know, string
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: together four hits in the ninth inning.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: But it is what it is. It'll be okay because
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: they still had to look at that schedule. standings board
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: this morning. It is what it is. Absolutely. Reach out
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to us. 877-794-1973. Just check in.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Heading into Labor Day weekend. It hits different since school's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: already started.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: It's Labor Day. This is like a late Labor Day.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: It's late, man.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels late. That's for sure. It does feel late.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It's on the back end. Technically can be. Yeah, it's
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: on the back end of the first week of September here.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: But the weather still gives you that summer memory. We're
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: on to September.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: We got Badgers on Sunday night at Lambeau.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Cannot wait.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Cannot wait for college football.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: We had a couple of games last night. College football.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And listen, all he's going to say is he's back.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: All I'm going to say is I'm back.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: As Deion Sanders, Buffalo's rolled out and beat up the
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: rambling wreck and survive a wild one in Atlanta. They
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: score a touchdown late to take the lead and then
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: block a field goal to win the thing. The call
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: was phenomenal on the Colorado Buffaloes radio network that I
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: heard coming in.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I got to hear that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: It was an electrifying game. But, man, Deion Sanders, he's
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: still got the juice. Georgia Tech hadn't sold out a
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: home opener in 20 years.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Surprisingly, they do last night. That's hard to believe. Surprisingly,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: they do last night. They do.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Of course, he brings the juice still. Dion brings the juice,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: and they did it. That's hard to believe they haven't
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: sold one out in that long, but then again, may
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: haven't been spectacular. Yeah, but they did, and they couldn't
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: get the win because... Deion had his buffs ready. I
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: read that he talked to his guy at halftime and
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: fired in front of everyone and fired him.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Up and said, this is your time. And he went
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: out and got it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of people that are making a
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: lot of noise on the strength coach for Colorado. Her
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: speeches to the team were garnering quite a bit of
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: attention coming in. And then, you know, Deion says the
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: tagline of the year. I didn't get some rolling. But
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the craziest one was, man, UMass. Hadn't been relevant since
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: John Calipari roaming the basketball sidelines roll up and they're
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: up 27 to seven on Rutgers. Rutgers had a whole
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: fireworks display set up. They got drunk differently. But they
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: still had to fire off the cannons because, hey, man,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: we paid all this money, Drew. We got to spend it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: All these folks are walking out of Piscataway sad, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: they got a heck of a watch and a heck
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: of an eye to see in the sky as they
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: walked out to their cars.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, realizing you don't blow the cannons off when the
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Minutemen are coming to town. And Paul Revere was on
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: his horse last night, letting everyone know. Paul Revere riding
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: the horse around town.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Good start for the Big Ten. UMass is back. UMass
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: is back. And UMass was playing better Big Ten football.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Then Rutgers. They found the punt at the one. This
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: is a terrible loss for the Big Ten. Well, I
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: actually don't know. Maybe UMass is going to be awesome
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: this year. No, it's terrible. Yeah. No, that is a
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: terrible loss. It's the definition of a terrible loss.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: It gives you 24 hours to make a revolutionary war
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: joke if you won.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: That's off and running.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Was the drama in the Colorado-Georgia Tech game, which is
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the lead story on ESPN.com at the moment.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: It's the lead because they don't want to talk about it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Was that more exciting? Yeah, they don't want to talk
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Was that more exciting than the courtroom drama of a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: nine-hour hearing.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Yesterday in Louisiana?
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Let them play. Yeah, that's the courtroom everyone was watching yesterday. Oh,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: my God. Not the other one.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Well, and there were three or four different judgments that
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: went down yesterday. And then the SEC decided they were
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: going to be suing the school LSU and Lane Kiffin,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: the acting head coach. And they're like, you sue you.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Sue me? Sue me?
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I'm suing you. So we now get litigation throughout. And
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: these guys are going to be able to suit up
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: because at the end of the day, the NCAA loses
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: in court. That's just how that ends up playing out.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: They always lose in court. And the thought that maybe
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the governing agency conferences would be able to put in
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: some actual legislation and have some own, their own backing
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: because they can make their own rules.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: And yeah, you might not be able to play in
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: our league. You can play in all these other ones.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Go, go talk to, The folks in the Ohio Valley,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: they might be interested in it. Missouri Valley Conference fires
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: up with a lot of good teams in FCS. Maybe
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: you could go play over there. They're going to be
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: in the midst of this drama. The best thing is, like,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: these are good players. They're not going to be the
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: reason why or why not LSU would be one of
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: the best teams in college football. But if it's Lane
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Kiffin and I can be in the midst of the
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: news cycle, You know I'm going to try. You know
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin is going to do anything and everything he
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: can to try to get himself right back into the
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: top priority in the top news cycle.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: When they say it just means more in the SEC,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I think this is what they mean. State courts, state
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: governments getting involved. I saw the Georgia AG involved saying
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: to say, you know, throw them out of the SEC. Like,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: they know what butters their bread down in the south.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Louisiana AG said these boys are supposed to give up.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Seven-figured working deal?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You can work in Louisiana. You can work in Louisiana.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: You can come work in Louisiana. We don't tell you
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: you can't work in this state.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: And the way that, well, you know, Billy, you got
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: a contact right up, right all the way up in
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: the government in Louisiana.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: You get the cell phone. Who is it? The, uh,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the deputy, the lieutenant governor.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: You got a cell phone text. Cause this is the biggest.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Nussmeyer might be able to help. Well, yeah, that's right.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: When they say it means more, this is what they mean.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Like, this is the biggest issue for any politician in, uh,
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: in the South is like, you gotta, you gotta.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Really messed up by not taking that guy up on, uh,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: our mardi gras invite that we got we did we
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: had all kinds of when we were down there for
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: the super bowl drew yeah he's the lieutenant governor he
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: gave us all these cool what were those things called.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Challenge coins challenge coins yeah pretty cool things my dad
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: was very excited about it but also handed us the
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: his phone number and said you boys won't come down
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: here in louisiana.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: And come down here in louisiana during a mardi gras
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take care of you. You got to
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: do your radio show. You got to do the radio
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: show right there. We got to give you one of
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the floats. One of the floats. They got a float.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: They got internet right there. We got to do the
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: show right there. We got to rub it down. You
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: never have more fun than you do in Louisiana. Never
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: have more fun than you will. Mardi Gras, Louisiana. You
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: got to come down, what, Monday through Monday through. That
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: was great.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Love it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: It was really fun. When he had those Louisiana State
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Police with him. Oh, my gosh. Those guys.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know that those troopers had a carb in
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: three years.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness, man. Those guys are pretty impressive. But
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: that humidity and you're walking around with that kind of
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: gear on. That crisp.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: My goodness. The brim of the hat was tight. The
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: shoe was.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: But the thing is, yeah, I mean, it just, you know,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: means more down there. And that's what means you get
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: courtroom late into the night to see if these guys
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: can play it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: You're right, Billy.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: If Lane Kiffin has a chance to be in the
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: middle of all the chaos, he loves that moment, right?
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: And let's be honest, it creates a fun backdrop for
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: this Clemson. Doesn't it give you a little more rooting
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: interest one way or the other if you do or
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: don't like Lane Kiffin or if you do or don't
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: like what's going on at LSU?
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I just think it does. Oh, for sure.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, Clemson has picked up 49 states worth of fans,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: 48 states worth of fans. I'd say even some of
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: theirs because I know that's cock country. pause down there
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: in South Carolina. And I don't necessarily know that they
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: love the tigers down there, but I think they've picked
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: up support by every single fan base around when Dabo
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: is telling people that it's just embarrassing.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: We have no rules. We have no governance. It's a joke.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: That's not new. That's been happening.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: But when you put the backdrop of this young man, Dequan, right.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Being in a Cleveland Browns, Jersey, the one visual that
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: won't be able to get out of people's heads will
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: be the one that continues to be hammered home throughout this.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: And much like courtroom proceedings that we're seeing play out
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: in football, professional and college here, this isn't.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Going to go away. This isn't going to go away
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: More than anything, I think this plays itself out, Drew,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: with the stays and all of the different restraining orders,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: probably until LSU is.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: 10 and 1. 11-1, 10-2, right there on the cut
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: line of the college football playoff. And then the SEC
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: is going to have to make a decision.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Do they want to back them to try to get
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: them into the college football playoff? Or do they stain
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: and embarrass us all year long? So the rift is
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: only starting. And I'm excited to see this paper to
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: shit shredded all year long.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Greg Sankey, man. Your ass is in the jackpot.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: But the thing is, it is funny to see the
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: culture war play out for college sports and the way
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: people feel about it because.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: It's.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Literally right there, you know, Dabo and Lane. It's like
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: the exact opposites, and they're playing this weekend. So, you know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: definitely they're going to be eyes on that game now
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: because of it. So it is interesting.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: And for those who are upset about it, like it's
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: a mockery of college sports. It's been going this way.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: You can blame the NCAA, in my opinion, for creating
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: this beast by not doing anything and then just kind
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: of backing up and saying, oh, well, I guess we'll
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: just let it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Everything is fine. And while the house is burning behind.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: You like that meme, Well, in this one in particular,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: the NCAA could have very much waited in this ruling
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: until November to say that kids in the 2022 class.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Also were eligible to have that run.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: They could have done it in January right there at
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the turn of the year, but they did it right
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: before the start of college football to act like that.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Wasn't Drew going to get challenged by people. Our bad. Oh, yeah.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: No clue that was going to happen. Well, yeah.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: If you'd have known, I wouldn't have gone to play
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and try to make an NFL roster and Well.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: God forbid the NCAA get ahead of something, right? I mean, yeah. Idiots, idiots.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: All right, 877-794-1973. How are you feeling about the Brewers
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: in general?
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Because, you know, Miz's start makes you think they've got
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to kind of, I don't know, back him off or
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: skip him.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I saw a lot of takes online yesterday about it, Drew.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: A lot of takes about that.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Terang's playing banged up and unproductive and under the radar,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: but he's been batting like 170 since August 1st.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Has not been himself.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: He was the hottest hitter in baseball last year in
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: the month of August. Battling a lot of things. A
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: lot of, you know, dings and dents. And Murph's talked
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: about it. Like, would they be better off maybe giving
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: him a day or two off?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Right? Maybe. And they have that luxury.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt's still kind of like in the Chateau Bow
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Wow a little bit. Not playing all the time. Defense
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: has been good. But do you have to find a
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: way to give Terang rest? I mean, they're going to
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: be able to rest people if they want, like we said.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: It's interesting now because it's, okay, start looking at magic numbers.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: And when will they clinch? the division when they'll clinch
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: a playoff berth sooner than anything. And then they'll clinch
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the division.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: And then they're still going to be churning for the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: number one seed.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: So I would, I want to start it with terrain
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: because he's the guy that has played the most has
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: been at the plate the most and probably drew on
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: the position side has the most, uh, injury tag right
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: now with what three or four different things. And then negative,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: most importantly, that knee, um, I think you very much should,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: if you feel any bit necessary, give him 10 days, right?
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Give him a 10-day run. Get somebody else up here
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: that can help you out in the interim. Don't sit
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: there and waste away a roster spot for a week
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: when you can shut him down, let him cool down.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: And it's not going to be the same deal as,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, Sal Freelick ended up being out a lot longer,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I think, than some of us anticipated when they shut
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: him down to try to give that shoulder a little
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: bit of calming and a but I don't know how
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: much damage you can be doing day in and day
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: out to whatever the knee issue is.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: You go and get a second opinion. There's something wrong, right?
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: There's something structurally going on in there, but I don't
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: know how much healing you get in a week and
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: a half. I definitely know it's more than you're getting
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: right now by going out there playing every single night.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: And when you're playing 16 games in 16 days, so.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I would be down with them trying to find terrain
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: a time to close it down.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: While still knowing you will be able to get.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Him, what, eight to ten games worth of at-bats in
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: that final week of the season and get him right
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: back to speed.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Even a day or two here or there. I mean,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: just give him a couple days. Time to rest him
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and ramp him up. You can do it, and I
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: think that's what he needs.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: That's what they need. That's a concern, but there's other
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: guys like that, as we thought. Churrio woke up out
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of his slumber, and then Yelich is starting to come out,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and Wild Bill. But you need Terang hitting. You need
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: everybody hitting. Bowers is dinged up a little bit, too. Yeah,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: but terrain's one of your spark plugs in the engine.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: If that thing's not firing, you are going to be
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: struggling to go anywhere.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you definitely need him functioning at a high level.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Isn't he due to get hot, though? Defense is good.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: He's due to get hot, but it's hard when you're
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: banged up. That's the thing.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: If you're really limping around and stuff, it's hard.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: So... And that's the tough part, right?
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Only he can tell you how dinged up he actually is.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Romero's a fresh arm that they've added.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Uribe's kind of going to be rejuvenated now because he
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: had his scare and then backed off it, and McGill's
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: been lights out. So a lot of things are looking good,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: but they've got a couple things to tweak to go
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: into the games that really matter. Now, this was a
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: fun little playoff preview. It was an appetizer and a
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: mousse bouche. Really good taster.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was fun.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: 2-2.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Now you've got three games coming up next week. Put
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: them away and win one, and you basically have the tiebreaker.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: And then it's over, right?
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Then it's completely over, and whenever they end up giving
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: out the T-shirts, it's worth it. But you mentioned a
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: couple of guys in the back end that have performed well. Also,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: don't forget Aaron Ashby was much maligned in the month
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: of June.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: He was struggling throughout. He's killing it. He's in the
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: last six weeks giving up one run.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: One run.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Absolutely killing it.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's given up a little bit of traffic,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: but the ERA is disgusting since the turn to August.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: And if you get all four of those guys pitching
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: that way going into October, take your chances against anybody.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: So the losses for the Brewers were the 17-3 blowout
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: and then a 2-1 where you just tip your cap.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: They could have won three of the four for sure. Oh,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: very much could have.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: They also could probably say that they could have lost
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: a couple.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: For sure, because they were down in games, but it
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: was two gritty comeback wins in the middle. I think
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: they made a little bit of a statement. The statement
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: would have been completed last night. Taking three out of
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: four would have been like, you know. So do you
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: think the wind is in the sails?
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: You said yesterday was the dagger to the souls of
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Cubs fans coming up here on Labor Day.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I think Cubs fans have been a little bit neutralized
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: because I think they realize.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: They realize a split doesn't do it for them. And
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: they're not. Yeah, that wasn't it.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: And they're just kind of like, yeah, we'll just have
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: to work our way through the. kind of the other
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: side of the bracket. We're going to have to work
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: our way through that first series. And now they got
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: to start worrying about who they play in the first
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: round and their, their bullpen staring down the Phillies and
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: make you nervous.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: And even after getting a win, you know, not getting
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: a hit till after the fourth, they only got three
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: hits last night.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: It's not like they were spectacular, but they won their star,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: got the job.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: They're happy about getting a win that their bullpen held up,
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: but I'm sure they're still going to have, you know,
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: that pit in their stomach every time the bullpen, they
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: close out a game.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: So, I think that's what it is.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: I think it's like they get a win, they get
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: a split, but they have other fish to fry now,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: and unfortunately it's right in front of them like you mentioned, Billy.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: So now what the brewers need to do is figure
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: out a way to turn all this regular season success
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and good vibes into October success.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: It should be that easy, right? Yeah. That's the next step.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: All right. We're off and running. It's our holiday edition.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Dolph's going to join us in about an hour from
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: right now for halftime of our final show of the week.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I want to know, where does Labor Day rank in
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: your power rankings of holidays?
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what, Drew? We've got football. We've got
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: school back. Do we think about grilling?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I know there's some sales in the stores, but where
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: does it rank? It's nice having this three days.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: We're stocked up.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of those weird ones. It's a gray area.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: We'll discuss the gray tones around Labor Day. Next, you're
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: And he cracks a ball deep to left field. Happ
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: is back, turning around, right on cue.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Andrew Vaughn, deep into the bleachers to get Milwaukee on
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: the board.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: That's the deficit in half here in the fourth. There's
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: your offensive highlight from last night's Brewers game. That was quick.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Cubs 2, Brewers 1. Game was broadcast on Big Fox.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Adam Amin. Did he piss anybody off? Does he hate Milwaukee?
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of folks were just saying that they just
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: didn't seem to know a lot about the Brewers.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if Adam Amin was going to piss you off,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: it was because he's the Bulls announcer, I guess. More
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: than anything, I appreciated how John Schmoltz was having a
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Schmoltzgasm back there. My man was loving up that seventh inning.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Hold on. Is this actually happening? We got two starting
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: pitchers going into the seventh inning? You could feel the
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: warmth of his cockles throughout the broadcast.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: It was a unicorn.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Seeing Logan Henderson and Cosman go at it in the seventh,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: you don't usually see that.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: What is this happening again?
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Smoltz is the guy that's taken our ire more recently.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I like Adam. I don't have a problem. He's really,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Smoltz has slid into the chair previously occupied by Joe Morgan.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Morgan had that.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: He used to say stuff that pissed people off constantly
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: to the point where there was that website, that blog,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Fire Joe Morgan.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Fire Joe Morgan. Which was really good. At a time.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: And then they started taking on other media people and stuff,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and it was pretty funny. It turned out that... Then
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the guys were... They revealed themselves. They were like TV writers.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Well, they realized there was a market for it. And
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: then they started awful announcing? No. I was going to say,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: that would have been a good start. That would have
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: been a good turn. But, like, there was... Turnkey operations,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: some would say.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: There were a lot more fans that were predisposed to
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: dislike TV analysts.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Fire Joe Morgan.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: This was in the early days of the blogosphere and stuff.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: It was Michael Schur... He wrote under the pseudonym Ken Tremendous.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: That's a great nickname. That is a good name.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: He's the co-creator of Parks and Rec, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: The Good Place, as well as a writer for The Office.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: That's the name you give to a hotel. It was
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: hilarious takes. It was really funny stuff.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: There used to be great stuff like that.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, the early days of Deadspin, page two on ESPN,
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: when Simmons was writing. I mean, you know, I don't
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: want to sound old here, Billy. You know how I
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: do it, you know, with this stuff. But, yeah, there
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: was some good stuff. This was 20 years ago. Smoltz
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: does get excited when there's two guys going starting late
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: He was very happy.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: It's what he wants, what he needs. I get it. Listen,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: You know, if that's what you made your living doing
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: and the craft you love, it's hard to see it change, right?
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Let's do a behind the music of, like, Fire Joe Morgan, Deadspin,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Sports by Brooks.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: That would be a good one. Well, they couldn't track
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: him down, remember? That was Perlman's white whale. Perlman found
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: him but didn't want to write about it. And then
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: he's back now for a while. But I'm sure there
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: will be a documentary somewhere out there. I mean, there's
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: a documentary on everything now. So, you know, so.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Keep the cards and letters coming. You can comment
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: on Facebook, X, and YouTube. Also, 877-794-1973.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: So I mentioned Tyrese Halliburton throwing out the first pitch yesterday.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: He's been getting into it online with Nathan Marzian, who's
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: a Bucs online kind of blogger, tweeter. He's built himself
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: a big following now.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: And Cubs fan. Not a Brewers guy, yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: So he went back and he tweeted it yesterday when
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: the Halliburton news came out that he was going to
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: be thrown out the first pitch. He's like, if the
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Cubs lose, this is why. All right, blaming this guy,
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: and that's the problem. Tyrese was feeling himself last night
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: after probably sitting in a suite at Wrigley, hanging out
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: after throwing out the first pitch, said.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: We won.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: So what does that mean, Nathaniel? Well, Marziano wasn't going
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: to be outdone there. Instead, a tweet that has 1.9
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: million views said, it means you're still a guy that
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: went from a likable hometown kid to someone who goes
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: out of his way to be an a-hole towards Milwaukee.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: I thought that was where the dagger ended up closing.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: No.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Apparently Tyrese Halliburton was doing some digging and pulled out receipts.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: My man's got four tweets all the way back from 2020.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: The native posted Halliburton would be a huge steal in
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: this draft. 2021 Halliburton should win rookie of the year.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Listening to Tyrese Halliburton on the low podcast.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Today's fantastic. He said, this is how you talk about
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: a holes.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's I heard your widow feelings back in
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: back to back April's.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: OK, but that. Wow.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: But that doesn't go against what Nate was saying, because
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Nate said you were one time a likable guy.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: And I would assume at that point in.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: The draft, he became less likable when he did beat
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the buck.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: He did beat the buck. I will say this.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: If you get Tyrese Halberd net worth, I don't know,
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: a couple hundred million.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: This and that. It will be once he finishes the deal, yeah.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: If you get him to do that much, spend that
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: much time, energy, mental capacity on your old tweets as
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: just a dude, Nathan, I mean, he's grown this well,
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: but he's still just a dude, right?
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: You've done your job. That's a trophy on Nathan's wall.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: What job is that? To go after him, Drew, is
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: what they do on the internet now. You got him
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: run free.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say this. Tyrese has drawn my ire. Oh,
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: you hate this man.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: But you got to give him credit. He plays the
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: heel perfectly.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: He knows what he's doing, and you almost got to
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: respect how much he knows how to play the heel
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: because he knows it's going to make fans here mad,
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: and he's fine with that.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, I'll throw the first pitch out.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: I'll do it because the amount of whatever stuff people
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: talk about him in Milwaukee, I'm.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Sure he loves to do it. Here's the thing. Isn't
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: he shoving it because.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: The Brewers invited him to throw out a first pitch
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: and then rescinded the invitation?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Once they realized that it was going to not go
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: as well as they thought it was. Yes, 100%. So
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: I get why he's doing it. So he's, you know, trolling.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: You would, too. Yeah, if I was him, yeah. If
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: that's the type of person I wanted to be, which
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: he is, then I would, too.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the Brewers rug-pulled him, and he's like, okay, well,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I'll go throw. Who cares who he roots for and
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: who he... What jersey he wears, I don't care.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Because it's funny.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: It's not ending anyone's life. But it is supposed to
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: be funny. It's more of a joke. It's not a
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: life-altering occasion.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: No, it's not like they're going to, you know. Nobody
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: needs a restraining order or anything. No, this is fun
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: and games.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: If Tyrese and Nate actually got together, they'd joke and
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: they'd take a picture.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: It'd be like one of those things.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: But the thing I think is interesting about it is,
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: you know, we haven't now heard from Tyrese for a
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: while because he kind of had the off year.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: He had the shingles. Tyrese Halliburger is what he became.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: He had shingles. He got... married which is.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: No laughing matter shingles is a very serious thing especially
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: when it's on your face it's very very now and
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: painful now the thing is i'm curious to see because
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of people not to not to get
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: too off topic here that really think the pacers just
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: had a gap year and they'll be back to being
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: an eastern conference contender again in a very very very
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: good east and i'm not one of those people but
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: i so i'm very curious to see how they do
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: this year how tyrese does coming off this type of disease.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: It's not easy. So we'll see.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, I, he might, he might fade away into
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: the wilderness playing wise. He might never be the same
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: player again. He might never, he might have gotten lucky
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: all those years, Billy, you never know.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. Might've gotten lucky. Yeah, definitely might've gotten lucky. Oh,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: come on. Definitely might've gotten lucky. It will be hard
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: for the Pacers though in the East. Let's be honest.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: That's all.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Will you be cheering against the Pacers more than any
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: other team in basketball? Be cheering against the Pacers more
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: than the heat this year.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: That's a hard one, right? Because, I mean, I'm always
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: predisposed to cheer against the Celtics and the Heat. Now,
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Giannis is on the Heat, and we both said we
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: don't wish him bad, but we're not going to be
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: cheering for them. No, I don't think I'll be cheering
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: for the Heat to lose more than the Pacers. If
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: I see them playing head-to-head, I'm going to want Giannis
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: to dunk on Tyrese.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: But I don't want either of them to win a title.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: That's fine. Tyrese, in some ways, is the reverse. He's
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: the reverse Tyler Hero. Yeah, that's a good point.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: The hero's coming back into the fold now and going
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: to be warmly welcomed back.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: I would say very lowercase level on lowercase W on welcome.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, warm welcome. He has not really been welcomed back
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: very well by a lot of parts of the fan.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: We'll see. When people see him on the court.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: He's one of those players who's easier to cheer for
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: when he's on your team. And when he's playing right, true.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Like that's the part of it. Like when he's actually
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: scoring 25 a night, you realize he's a better player,
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: which I think he's going to make you think.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Yes. He's going to be the dude.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: So the funny thing is those dudes were really good
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: friends back in the day in the AAU circuit. And
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: it was a lot of parts in, in, you know,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: the hatred and disposition for Wisconsin fans about them was
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: they had like, there was one roster spot, one scholarship
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: that was going to go out to one of the
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: two at Wisconsin. They tried to give it to Tyler and, mitts, obviously,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: and then goes to Kentucky. By that time, Tyrese was like, oh, well,
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: you didn't want me. Poor Wisconsin got neither. And they
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: end up out in the cold without either of them.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: And then both of them have the chip on the
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: shoulder towards the Patrick's. That does not start a ringing
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: endorsement for the fan base, but it is fun. It
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: is fun to have somebody that is this level of
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: an athlete, right?
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: He's one of the top players. in the league.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: It was an Olympian a couple of years ago, whether
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: he just got an A on the group project, went
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: to the finals, was on the doorstep of being finals MVP.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: If they end up winning that game.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: And my man was cooking in that first five minutes,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: but is what it is from the state to go
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: to this level.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: That, to me, is still cool.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: That, to me, will still not be taken down or
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: knocked down just because of a couple of things that
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: he says against the team. But it's one of the
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: fun parts of it. He is public enemy number one.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: And it hurt me emotionally. I'll say it many times.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Feelings hurt my feelings.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: He just killed. I mean, the way we lost to
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: those games, that might have been the end of the year.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, that was just. But you're right.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: The connection actually is there with Tyler. Didn't his dad
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: recruit him to the.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: And you're right, though. Isn't that the bones of it, though?
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: It's like, how can he.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Forego the team from his state that he grew up
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: watching and stuff. It's like, well, once you start getting
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: a check from another entity, it's easy to forego those things.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: He makes you do a lot of things.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: How many Badgers players grew up in Minnesota basketball, especially?
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Those guys come over and it's like, do they feel
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: any allegiance to the Gophers at all?
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: No.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: It's totally different. And it's totally different. Exactly.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: And then once you make that leap and start getting it,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: and then they'll never have an allegiance to the university
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: of Wisconsin ever.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Right. Well, the state never loved Tyrese back. I mean,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: that's the other thing.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: He never had any allegiance from any state school. So
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: I don't blame him.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: And now if Tyrese starts trolling with wearing bear stuff, Well.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: I figured he was walking.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: I figured he was going to come out in a
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Hammond Bears hat because I thought that was the part
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: of it. I thought the real big deal was let's
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: just let everybody know that's on the north side. It's
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: really not that bad of a drive.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: What if he had been sitting with Caleb Williams behind
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the dugout?
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: I thought they were going to find a spot for
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: him in the cool athlete section.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Caleb Wilson right there. Fourth overall pick. A couple other
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: guys that I totally knew their names. Make Colts fans mad, though.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't that make Colts? Because he's Indianapolis. He's not Chicago.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: So I wonder if that would make Colts fans mad
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: if he did that. Perhaps. Maybe. Maybe there are some
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Colts fans that get upset. That might be kicking that
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: hornet's nest. But there's some out there.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: We got to go see if that Seth kid was
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: upset about it. one that was singing the Colts songs.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: This is our Colts. We love you. Oh man. Yeah.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, but that is the thing with Tyrese.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: It's like, you can say he's spurting the state, but
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: the state never like showed it, showed him love in
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: terms of no one that recruited him.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: No one did anything. He never got drafted here, obviously.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: And I knew that stuff. And then his dad went
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: after Giannis and we all turned on the whole. Oh,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: and then they became the worst. The wrestling heels. Family
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: of all time. It's the best. You're right, though. Once
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: you're a pro, you come back to beat that team.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: It's not like you're.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, Larry terrorized the Pacers when he came back
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: to Indiana, but people loved him still.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: It was one of those things. And then he ended
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: up working for the Pacers. I was going to say,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: and then he ran the Pacers.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: The story arc will be at some point, Hal Burton
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: will finish his career with a cup of coffee playing
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: for the Bucs.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: And then it'll be all will be forgotten. Yep.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: All will be forgotten. Hey, Tyler Hero is going to
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: be a lot more popular in a couple months in
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the state than he was ever. Does he make it
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: through the season?
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Well, that depends on how.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: They're doing and what they can get for him at
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: the deadline. Even then, if he plays well, they're building
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: a foothold and a rebuild here. If he helps drop
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: a pylon, an anchor... and then goes and you flip
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: him into something that's usable, yeah, he'll be regarded.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I should know this. Was he at the Miles Turner
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: summer camp? Was he there? Yeah, he was there. He
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: was playing. I did not see him on the boat,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: but there were a couple of heads turned.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: I saw him. He was definitely playing, hooping. He gave
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: one of the little hat tips with the cool cowboy hats.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: There's not enough room on that boat anyway. I don't
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: blame him. Tyler probably had his own boat. He needed
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: a bigger boat.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: All right, we've got to get to the Labor Day conversation.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: We'll do that next. You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Does Queen Bay really suck?
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Historically, no.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Would I like to see the Packers get swept this year?
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm excited to go to all those games
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: and show out just like he is and has.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know. You'll have to ask the masses on
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: that one. They'd have a different answer, I think. Now,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: who was that, Armin? PCA. Thanks, Billy, for alluding me
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: to that, sending it to me.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: PCA answering the question from the Airstyle Fourth.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Estate, or is it Fifth Estate? I always forget. Fourth Estate.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: Fourth Estate, the Chicago Assemble Media. Does Green Bay really suck?
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: The hard-hitting journalistic questions.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Did you see PCA's walk-off interview with Junior Rosenthal? I
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: didn't see it.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: No, he said, what if I told you in March
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: that you'd be having this kind of season? He basically said, yeah.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: He didn't know how to answer because he came around
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: to saying, I kind of expected that.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: I had this ability. I was believing in myself.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: He kind of expected that he had this ability. I
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: believed I was capable of a performance like this.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: That's probably the only way you can answer that, because
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: otherwise you sound like the guy that is either.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Way too confident. Golly, geez, yeah. I'm even surprising myself.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: It's really nice to be able to hit one of
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: these sliders.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: He's walked up. I mean, he knows he's good.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: He's been playing well. It wasn't like this was his
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: first year. Yeah, so I understand that he believes that.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he totally did.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: When you're on Team USA as a 12-year-old, you probably
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: have a well-built-up.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Thought of yourself. I think he had some self-confidence. All
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: those guys believe. I mean, Monte L still thinks it.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course. So me and Steph Curry. Right.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: We're rolling into Labor Day weekend. What is what's the cookout?
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: What's the tradition? See Labor Day weekend to me. It's
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: always bittersweet. I like having the Monday off.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I like that. It's usually nice weather here, especially in
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: the good land.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: September, some of our best weather, you know, raining today
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: a little bit this morning, but free car washes, as
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Armand would say.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: But.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: It's tinged with sadness because it's the end of summer.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: It's the ceremonial end of summer, and football's back, which
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: we like.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Thank goodness.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: But at the same point, school's back in. If you
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: dread that, you're getting back into routines, and you know
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: winter's coming. It's like I'm hanging on to summer with
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: my fingernails on the side of the mountain. I don't
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: want summer to go away. So it's a bit sad. Now,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: you don't hear about I'm sure the stores will be
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: crowded today and this weekend because people are going to
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: be stocking up. But what's the traditional cook of? Is
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: it the last cookout of the year? Is it the
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: last run to get brats? Like, what is it? What
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: is the tenor other than, okay, there's a Labor Day
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: parade and we celebrate the working folk, all that. But
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: what about, you know, the logistics of it? It's just another,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: it's just a free day. People go shopping for mattresses.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Like, what do we do?
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was today years old when I found out
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: that there's Labor Day parades. I'll also be missing those events.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: But I would say, I think to me, Drew. Any
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: day that you can celebrate that you are actually a
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: part of what did Mike Holmgren say at the end
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: of the 96 Superbowl day?
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Everybody had a, had a say in it. Everyone got
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: it done. He said, everyone has proud of it.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: I'm proud of you. I'm proud of all of you.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Cause this is the day that you earned. You were
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: in this day for us to do absolutely positively nothing.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: If you want, cause this is not the day that
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: you got to remember or honor or or thank, or
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: buy a present for anybody. You just thank yourself when
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: you kick your feet up there at the 9.30 mark
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: in the morning and say, yeah, I've been.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Busting my ass all year. You know what I should?
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: I do deserve a laborless Labor Day.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Or by that, maybe I earned myself one day to
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: go out on the lawn and cut down all these
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: branches that I've been saying I was going to do
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: for the last six weeks.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: The labor I want to do on my terms, but
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: it does represent the blue collar workers, the guys like us,
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: like me.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: So I do appreciate that. Barbecues, so there's like cookouts, gatherings.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: It's sadder to me.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: Because it is the end and we will go through
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: this forever about fall and spring and things like that.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: It means summer's ending and it means that winter's upon
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: us eventually. Um, but I will say this, we have
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: some good days ahead of us still. So it means
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: getting together. Definitely some barbecue action, definitely some, but, but I,
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: I pushed back at the notion that it's the last
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: day to get brats and burgers and grill.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Like you can do that all the time. Of course
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: you can, but it does seem like it doesn't hit
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: the same.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously on the fourth, it's like, you know, Go
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: stand in line to buy brats and dogs.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Now it'll be a little bit tougher. Well, I mean, Billy,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: we start making chili.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: I've been waiting for a good time to be able
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: to fire up a pot pie.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Great ribbon award winning chili for Harmon.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: I'll make it, but I don't think of Labor Day
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: as chili. No, but now you can start. Now this
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: is the ceremonial thought that you put them away. I
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: don't know that anybody's really doing a bunch of grill
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: outs and cookouts. This is also why I've said for
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: a long time, the NFL should be playing this weekend.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: They absolutely should.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: The fear and trepidation and the shuddering in turmoil. How
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: on earth are people going to structure their Labor Day
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: weekends to watch NFL games?
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: They're going to watch NFL games. We're going to watch
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: college games. Are we going to watch the freaking U.S. Open?
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: We're waiting to watch the NFL. Just put the games on.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: And then we'll have an extra day to rest after
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: week one. That would be incredible. The way that you
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: said U.S. Open, that hurt me.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: I know it did.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: That really hurt me. No one's watching that stuff, right? See,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: that's different.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to sit here and expect people are
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: going to watch it, like sit down and watch a
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: whole tennis match.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: But the way you said it, Drew, everything just... No,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: you're right. It is still a baseball weekend for me.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I thought we had Osaka. Alcaraz could walk into the
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: studio with a box of dunkers and I wouldn't know
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: who the guy is. No clue. No, but i think
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: you might know i.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Don't think i would is he is he is he
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: stacked up he he a thick cat would i understand
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: that he's a professional short but he's he's cut pretty
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: wiry yeah i was just gonna say a little wiry
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: frame see i center he's not michael chain i'm just
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: glad you're on my side on this one drew that
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: like they should be playing nfl games this should be
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: totally this is not the big travel weekend in the
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: last big up north trip that a lot of people
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: think those.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Days are yeah That is, you're right. Because I know
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: it is kind of a big travel. People are going
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: up north. You don't think people are doing that? Not much.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Well, get the boat out of the water and just
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: shut down the lake house, all that, and get into
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: the grind.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: But you can still do that in the weeks to come.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: And it's still going to be nice out. And you
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: can also do that on Saturday and then be ready
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: for the Packers game on Sunday. For sure. There's plenty
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: of time for it. For sure. I've laughed at that idea.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: And as they expand the schedule, they're definitely going to
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: at some point occupy it. But they have just been,
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: I'm a little concerned about playing on Labor Day.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Who cares?
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: We'll get texts on this thing. I'm sure we'll get
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: some as we kick off next hour and stuff like that.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: It's our day. We want to watch football. You should
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: be honoring us by playing.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: One thing about Labor Day versus Memorial Day, this is
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: the time of the year when the bugs peak outside. And, man,
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: it's kind of tough with the mosquitoes and the yellow
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: jackets and the wasps out there.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Man, they're peaking right now. That's all, Billy. They're peaking.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: When my building, when they want to drain the pool,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: because I've got to use it. I was going to
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: say that I can be in the pool swimming around.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: I've got to take advantage of it.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: First hours in the books. Dolph will join us at 625.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Wayne Larrabee scheduled to appear at 725. Yeah, we'll see.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: We'll see. It's a holiday weekend. We'll check touch base
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: with the voice of the Packers.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
