Speaker 3: Let's go, yeah, we get excited, Drew.
4:45
Speaker 1: We did.
4:45
Speaker 2: We had a lot of fun during the high school
4:46
Speaker 2: football playoffs where we were rolling through and breaking down
4:50
Speaker 2: the farthest uh tracks that schools had to go once
4:54
Speaker 2: they got to like round three and round four. Now
4:56
Speaker 2: it's a little bit easier in the basketball side of
4:58
Speaker 2: the regions. There were some three four hour trips that
5:00
Speaker 2: we're rolling through here. Once you start talking about it
5:03
Speaker 2: for basketball, those become full, Like you know, Tuesdays and
5:07
Speaker 2: Wednesdays and Thursdays, you might end up finding more and
5:10
Speaker 2: more days off. Luckily, they haven't had a whole lot
5:12
Speaker 2: of snow days because, uh, for the schools that are
5:15
Speaker 2: sitting here looking towards a trip to Madison or trip
5:18
Speaker 2: to Green Bay for the state championship, you want to
5:20
Speaker 2: make sure that you can give a give everyone on
5:22
Speaker 2: that bus that free day off.
5:24
Speaker 1: Days. Just got a They got a number one seed
5:26
Speaker 1: in Division four.
5:27
Speaker 3: They're really really good. They're pretty good there. I think
5:29
Speaker 3: they're playing Kenosha St.
5:32
Speaker 1: Jose. Yeah, next, it's pretty cool. Indeed, this is the
5:34
Speaker 1: time of the.
5:35
Speaker 3: Year, you know, when the weather gets warmer and Metro
5:37
Speaker 3: Classic matchup ball's bouncing.
5:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it.
5:39
Speaker 3: I like it is a time where you can get
5:41
Speaker 3: your shamrock shake pretty soon and go watch some ball.
5:44
Speaker 3: That's always a tradition for me. They'll laugh at me, Billy,
5:48
Speaker 3: They'll laugh at me, billy, little shamrock shake action.
5:52
Speaker 1: And I just didn't I didn't it. I didn't expect
5:54
Speaker 1: that that was gonna get a drop in here. I'm
5:55
Speaker 1: probably a lot. I'm a fan of a sh.
5:57
Speaker 3: It's mark shamrock shake time. Although you can I go
6:00
Speaker 3: like the mint shape. It cops a little bit better
6:01
Speaker 3: because it's a little more really milk.
6:03
Speaker 2: People have been saying the the Costco milk mint ice
6:06
Speaker 2: cream is a different level treat that they're having different
6:12
Speaker 2: Try that.
6:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, not unfamiliar with their game.
6:15
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly try usually stay all the way from
6:17
Speaker 3: the from the Shamrock shake, although when somebody offers it
6:21
Speaker 3: to me, it's one of those things that I'm always
6:22
Speaker 3: kind of grabbed.
6:23
Speaker 1: They've brought him in before as part of a promotion.
6:25
Speaker 1: They're guys loving it. Somebody's got to bring me an
6:28
Speaker 1: archburger too, Like the burger wars are real, right, so
6:32
Speaker 1: are we?
6:33
Speaker 3: Am?
6:33
Speaker 1: I missing some of that. But they revamped the Whopper,
6:35
Speaker 1: I guess at burger King, which is something that does
6:38
Speaker 1: have to come back.
6:39
Speaker 3: I do think there's a chance that one day the
6:41
Speaker 3: Whopper can become great again, like when I was younger,
6:44
Speaker 3: Like to me, the Whopper was the best fast food burger.
6:46
Speaker 1: Now, of course burgering has fallen off. In our college
6:49
Speaker 1: hoops days, it was like we would go eat two whoppers, yeah,
6:53
Speaker 1: and then like look for something else, Like what else
6:55
Speaker 1: we got? The tough thing that Michael Phelps died back
6:57
Speaker 1: then eight calories a day, oh, just loading them up.
7:00
Speaker 2: The tough thing about burger King for me is I
7:03
Speaker 2: I struggle to find anything that smells better when you're
7:05
Speaker 2: driving by, like they have cornered the market on that
7:10
Speaker 2: the cent wafting from the location way too good.
7:14
Speaker 3: And you know what, I don't You don't hear about
7:17
Speaker 3: people going to Burger King as much. However, They're always there,
7:21
Speaker 3: always there, There's always there, and it always seems open.
7:23
Speaker 1: And you can, man that burg King looks open.
7:26
Speaker 3: You know, this is a feeling I have now that
7:28
Speaker 3: once upon a time, I remember years ago, they had
7:32
Speaker 3: chicken fries that were like ten for a dollar. I'm like,
7:35
Speaker 3: this is the last and only great deal in the
7:38
Speaker 3: history of fast food. You're talking about ten cents a
7:40
Speaker 3: chicken fry, like I'm going to get like underd of these.
7:43
Speaker 1: Armon was the king of the dollar menu.
7:44
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's Billy. You remember that still, right, Oh,
7:49
Speaker 3: I still remember that. I'm not that young. I'm not
7:51
Speaker 3: that young. I feasted on some. But when you get
7:55
Speaker 3: that ten dollars bill and get ten burgers or ten
7:57
Speaker 3: chickens or you know, you know, you know, make your
8:00
Speaker 3: menu at.
8:00
Speaker 1: Them and combine them together. Some people did that.
8:03
Speaker 2: You could do your own little like Wendy's Biggie bag
8:05
Speaker 2: deal and you can get yourself that little the ice
8:07
Speaker 2: cream cone after m chicken and make double and everybody
8:10
Speaker 2: else used to do something with those two sandwiches.
8:12
Speaker 3: These deals were important this time of year because not
8:14
Speaker 3: only has everyone rolled out the fish sandwich deals, but
8:17
Speaker 3: when you when you these were the hangover meals when
8:19
Speaker 3: you got tanked for Saint Patrick's Day, you know that's fair.
8:22
Speaker 1: Yes, big time, big time, or when you were you know,
8:26
Speaker 1: hitting four twenty correct, Yeah, yeah, load up and get extras,
8:30
Speaker 1: extra burgers to have them in the fridge, to pop
8:32
Speaker 1: them in the microwave.
8:33
Speaker 2: That is one of my favorite mathematic moments where you're
8:35
Speaker 2: sitting there like what but I don't want to leave
8:37
Speaker 2: the couch. So if I just grabbed four sandwiches now, like,
8:41
Speaker 2: it will taste it almost the same if.
8:43
Speaker 1: They already microwaved once, right, come on? But yeah, yeah, belly,
8:50
Speaker 1: you mentioned it the other day. When you realize you
8:51
Speaker 1: don't need the extra sandwich, you don't need you don't
8:54
Speaker 1: need like the big mac and the burger. You know,
8:57
Speaker 1: metabolism has slowed down and you just don't need a
9:00
Speaker 1: You are used to ordering that as a young ravenous
9:03
Speaker 1: you know. Oh, Yeah, calories be damned, young.
9:05
Speaker 2: Spicy chicken deluxe sandwich at a Chick fil A and
9:08
Speaker 2: a spicy chicken sandwich. Yeah, But you know what, then
9:12
Speaker 2: yesterday I felt I felt good after we had that conversation,
9:15
Speaker 2: and the extra spicy chicken sandwich is a.
9:17
Speaker 1: Part of the order. I put that one in the
9:20
Speaker 1: fridge and I did have it there. Game changer for
9:23
Speaker 1: me was that you can get the deliciousness of the
9:25
Speaker 1: Whopper cut the calories by going Whopper Junior just is good,
9:31
Speaker 1: just okay big, and you know, calorie dense, sometimes that much,
9:36
Speaker 1: but those are man. Wopper is a good sandwich, man,
9:39
Speaker 1: it really is. Yeah.
9:40
Speaker 2: And again, like I'm telling you, you walk out of target,
9:43
Speaker 2: it blows your mind that you don't go to the
9:45
Speaker 2: Burger King three times a week exactly because it just
9:47
Speaker 2: smells way way too good.
9:49
Speaker 1: I don't have to go fight.
9:50
Speaker 3: Should we get should we get burging? Another chance is
9:52
Speaker 3: that we should do? Is that what we're saying, Well,
9:54
Speaker 3: we might have to.
9:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think it's gonna probably get a better
9:57
Speaker 2: chance and a better opportunity at a second chance.
9:59
Speaker 1: Harmon.
10:00
Speaker 2: Then you and I gave George Webbs last year. But
10:02
Speaker 2: like Uh, but this one. I'm looking at this this
10:06
Speaker 2: menu right now. I think it's definitely going to get
10:08
Speaker 2: tapped here later on this afternoon. I have some friends
10:10
Speaker 2: in Tosa that were celebrating the uh. There's apparently a
10:13
Speaker 2: new outlet for Little Caesar's Pizza in wah with Tosa
10:17
Speaker 2: and they're like, oh, welcome back, hot and fresh, hot
10:20
Speaker 2: and ready.
10:21
Speaker 1: Come on.
10:22
Speaker 2: There's a drive through Little Caesars so in the uh
10:25
Speaker 2: in the Musquigo area, and uh. I laugh at it
10:27
Speaker 2: all the time because I'm like, damn, I need to
10:30
Speaker 2: go back through that.
10:32
Speaker 1: Is it still five bucks or is that going the
10:33
Speaker 1: way of the subway for I can't imagine they had
10:35
Speaker 1: pa How do you make how do you make margins?
10:39
Speaker 2: Definitely not ten. I want to say it's six or seven.
10:41
Speaker 2: I do believe that they've caved and had to go
10:44
Speaker 2: up a little bit on it.
10:45
Speaker 1: You could be area now. But isn't like Little Caesars
10:48
Speaker 1: and bird King. They're like, uh eh, I don't want
10:51
Speaker 1: to say you're slumming. You're spelunking a little bit through
10:53
Speaker 1: the through the pecking order, but yeah, Little Caesars. Sometimes
10:57
Speaker 1: it just hits.
10:58
Speaker 3: Man.
10:58
Speaker 1: I had buddies who work there and college, and they'd
11:00
Speaker 1: come home with crazy bread extra, you know, that left over,
11:04
Speaker 1: and that was always a feast late at night, crushed
11:07
Speaker 1: and it was.
11:07
Speaker 2: It was one of the great mind mess ups that
11:10
Speaker 2: you'd have because again you'd sit there and be like,
11:12
Speaker 2: all right, I'll buy the whole pizza, but I'm only
11:15
Speaker 2: gonna eat half, so then I'm gonna have a full
11:17
Speaker 2: meal then to be able to have here, so it's
11:19
Speaker 2: two for one. Yeah, it's only two fifty then for
11:21
Speaker 2: and then you eat the whole thing and they be like, damn.
11:23
Speaker 1: What am I going to do for dinner? Right? It
11:24
Speaker 1: never works.
11:25
Speaker 2: Because also the only bad thing about Little Caesars is
11:28
Speaker 2: if you don't eat it within about forty five minutes,
11:31
Speaker 2: you might as well eat the box.
11:32
Speaker 1: That's true, because that thing does not It does not
11:35
Speaker 1: hold up.
11:35
Speaker 2: No, turns your cardboard pretty quickly. So it is a
11:38
Speaker 2: sick home. Actually yeah, yeah, it's a sprint.
11:41
Speaker 1: That's why I eat half of it in the car, correct,
11:43
Speaker 1: And that's why it's gone right away.
11:45
Speaker 2: The crazy One of the craziest feats that I ever
11:47
Speaker 2: watch is one of my old college roommate's he to
11:49
Speaker 2: a double order of crazy bread and a little Caesar's
11:52
Speaker 2: pizza in about like fourteen minutes, and we blinked and
11:56
Speaker 2: looked back and we're.
11:56
Speaker 1: Like, damn, snowball. That was impressive. That was some impressive,
11:59
Speaker 1: impressive stuff.
12:00
Speaker 2: And then we all tried to do the exact same thing,
12:01
Speaker 2: and then none of us were able to, but it
12:04
Speaker 2: felt good because you had a whole pepperonium.
12:06
Speaker 1: My got Johnny Vegas, at the end of a great
12:08
Speaker 1: night on Downer Avenue, walked into McDonald's and ate the
12:10
Speaker 1: triple double and single he ate for the cycle.
12:13
Speaker 3: That's pretty impressive work.
12:16
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, yeah, I'm like, hey, you only need
12:17
Speaker 1: a single for this. And then I demanded a prize.
12:20
Speaker 1: So the manager on duty, he was probably a student too,
12:23
Speaker 1: gave it. Gave us a frosty. Here's your frosty. I'm like,
12:26
Speaker 1: that's not enough. So I stole a plaque off the wall,
12:29
Speaker 1: and then henceforth all the plaques were then bolted to
12:32
Speaker 1: the wall because that's a plact that it was the
12:34
Speaker 1: Wendy's creed about their mission and stuff. I had that
12:37
Speaker 1: in my kitchen for like ten years.
12:39
Speaker 3: I don't condone stealing and stuff like that, obviously, but
12:42
Speaker 3: that's a great little trinke. And to take it there
12:44
Speaker 3: was I mean, I'm not gonna lie that. It's pretty funny.
12:46
Speaker 1: I should have been arrested. But statute of limitations.
12:48
Speaker 3: The the culvers all across the state have like local
12:52
Speaker 3: flare because it's got like the Applebe's vibe, you know,
12:55
Speaker 3: like the Appleby's had a local flare. Like they tried
12:57
Speaker 3: to a lot of the culvers that are individually franchise
13:00
Speaker 3: and let the local because the one Greenfield's got like
13:03
Speaker 3: Greenfield and Witnew and Greendale stuff up. And I'm always like, man,
13:06
Speaker 3: that's a that's a pretty.
13:07
Speaker 2: Nice a little team never made it onto the onto
13:09
Speaker 2: the culvers wall.
13:10
Speaker 1: Never made it. Oh man, I played for a Culvers
13:12
Speaker 1: team once. Yeah, but you were four and twelve, they were, well,
13:15
Speaker 1: that is true. I do believe we were. I do
13:17
Speaker 1: believe we were cheeks.
13:18
Speaker 3: They're not even good enough for that in the the
13:20
Speaker 3: Witnell youth program.
13:22
Speaker 1: But that always was cool.
13:23
Speaker 2: Once they started putting the sponsor on the back of
13:25
Speaker 2: the T shirt, they like, sweet, sure that guys playing
13:27
Speaker 2: for Butterburger's right now, you guys playing for Dave's garage.
13:31
Speaker 3: We got some wild, thick yeah, I remember we had
13:33
Speaker 3: a health insurance one of our hats, Like I really
13:36
Speaker 3: felt like a NASCAR drive brother. Of course it didn't
13:39
Speaker 3: matter because I never got the game, but well I did,
13:41
Speaker 3: but no one saw me out there right field eight.
13:43
Speaker 1: Seven seven seven seven three. Who's hot and who's not?
13:48
Speaker 1: As broad just by Donovan Jorgensen, Billy, Like we said,

Speaker 1: entire Bucks team? Correct, yes, entire like the fools gold
13:59
Speaker 1: I raise hand. I was fooled by the Fools goal
14:01
Speaker 1: of eight out of ten. Thought they were playing better
14:03
Speaker 1: and the honest coming back is only going to help. Yeah,
14:05
Speaker 1: they're back in the back in the dregs, right down
14:08
Speaker 1: to it.
14:09
Speaker 2: And I would say one name that that's hot because
14:11
Speaker 2: people are laughing at the fact that the record that
14:14
Speaker 2: he compiled was good enough to get fired midseason. Adrian
14:18
Speaker 2: Griffin beat a lot of bad teams and ended up
14:20
Speaker 2: getting gassed in the middle of the year for it. Yeah,
14:22
Speaker 2: and people will point to and understandably so right like
14:27
Speaker 2: the slide happened after the Bucks fired Mike Butenholzer. I
14:31
Speaker 2: think most teams were firing Mike Butenholzer after what happened
14:35
Speaker 2: in that playoff series, the Adrian Griffin one, I'm not
14:37
Speaker 2: positive everybody would have. And if karma is a thing
14:40
Speaker 2: in sports, firing a first time head coach before he
14:43
Speaker 2: hits the All Star break, they've paid some of it,
14:47
Speaker 2: and the doc rivers questions like I love it when
14:51
Speaker 2: I get asked the question because quickly become guys the
14:55
Speaker 2: palms up emoji. I think everybody is still wondering what
14:59
Speaker 2: it would take for him to get moved on from
15:02
Speaker 2: or if they're just saying, hey, we're so done paying
15:04
Speaker 2: three coaches at one time.
15:05
Speaker 1: We're just gonna let it.
15:06
Speaker 2: Ride all the way until April fifteenth, and tax Day
15:09
Speaker 2: will also be cut day and the probably Black Monday
15:12
Speaker 2: in the NBA. So the Bucks are not hot very much,
15:15
Speaker 2: not hot very much, not hot with donand and if
15:17
Speaker 2: you really want to look for more reasons to inflict
15:19
Speaker 2: pain on yourself phone when you're following the Bucks. I
15:22
Speaker 2: mentioned that the bottom ten teams in the NBA standings
15:25
Speaker 2: right now have a combined like forty four game losing streak.
15:27
Speaker 1: I think that's right, forty four. It was it was
15:29
Speaker 1: forty going into last night. I think they lost. And
15:32
Speaker 1: if you went to eleven, the bottom eleven teams. Portland
15:35
Speaker 1: had lost two in a row. But Portland rose up
15:37
Speaker 1: last night and beat Memphis, which is awful, so something
15:39
Speaker 1: had to give in that game. Portland was outside the
15:41
Speaker 1: window of ten worst. They're eleventh, but the Blazers were
15:44
Speaker 1: red led by Drew Holliday who had thirty five points
15:47
Speaker 1: and eleven assists. Well, and that one we'll kind of
15:50
Speaker 1: sting too, like even though oh man, see if that
15:53
Speaker 1: guy was still around, I saw, and everybody's tracing it
15:56
Speaker 1: back to like that departure was the one. It's the
15:59
Speaker 1: departure that it probably then leads to what we were
16:01
Speaker 1: talking about with Adrian Griffin, right, because like he's brought
16:03
Speaker 1: in to coach a team that's gonna have Drew Holliday
16:05
Speaker 1: at the front of a defense.
16:06
Speaker 2: He's gonna be more of a defensive minded head coach.
16:08
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, wait, actually, Dame Liller's here. Yeah,
16:11
Speaker 2: that's one of the best scoring guys, is one of
16:14
Speaker 2: the defense optional players in the NBA is going to
16:17
Speaker 2: be leading the charge. And then that again, like you
16:19
Speaker 2: don't necessarily make I would still struggle to not make
16:23
Speaker 2: the deal. Drew if it was in front of me today,
16:26
Speaker 2: right like if we get teleported back to you and
16:29
Speaker 2: I driving up to a football feast when that news
16:32
Speaker 2: broke and we flipped on Arman and the franchise to
16:35
Speaker 2: do a basketball show when a baseball want was scheduled,
16:38
Speaker 2: You don't necessarily I still will do it again because
16:41
Speaker 2: of what we had just.
16:42
Speaker 1: Watched happen in the playoffs with Drew.
16:45
Speaker 2: It just it's tough to be able to look at
16:48
Speaker 2: because when you see the NBA and I was on
16:51
Speaker 2: our friend Mike Keller's show yesterday and he had asked me,
16:55
Speaker 2: you know, what team are you more disappointed in and
16:57
Speaker 2: what team's more disappointing over the last ten years. The
17:00
Speaker 2: Bucks couldn't weren't my answer, because of like the state
17:04
Speaker 2: of the NBA that we're sitting in, And as much
17:06
Speaker 2: as you want to be able to run through with
17:09
Speaker 2: three finals appearances, two titles, and you had to make
17:13
Speaker 2: it back to three or four conference titles, nobody in
17:16
Speaker 2: the last eight years has won the title and let
17:20
Speaker 2: alone repeated as champion made it to the conference finals
17:23
Speaker 2: the next year outside of the Lakers in the pandemic year.
17:26
Speaker 2: So like, I'm not going to hold this group in
17:31
Speaker 2: this era to what it had been for the generations
17:35
Speaker 2: before this in the NBA that had always been run
17:36
Speaker 2: by dynasties. But you're, you know, fractions and moments away.
17:41
Speaker 2: I think there's probably a bunch of different teams that
17:42
Speaker 2: can say that in organizations.
17:43
Speaker 1: I feel that way.
17:44
Speaker 2: But you know, you're like three or four plays away
17:46
Speaker 2: from and Jason Tatum not having the greatest game of
17:49
Speaker 2: his career still probably to date against you away from
17:54
Speaker 2: having a chance to go and repeat his champions.
17:57
Speaker 1: Very true, very true. So who's hot Who's not? Can
18:00
Speaker 1: we get it? Who's hot? Like the Bucks are not hot?
18:02
Speaker 3: Well?
18:04
Speaker 2: Careas Korea is pretty hot right now. They're up nine
18:06
Speaker 2: to three on the second game of the World Baseball Classic.
18:11
Speaker 2: I think baseball is about to be quite hot here
18:13
Speaker 2: coming up. But I think what's really in the who's
18:16
Speaker 2: hot Who's not? Category? With our friends at Donovan Jurgenson,
18:19
Speaker 2: they love Milwaukee people, they love Wisconsin Heights. They've been
18:22
Speaker 2: servicing Wisconsin, honest Wisconsin people, doing great work for over
18:25
Speaker 2: forty years. You can ask them about sixty sixty month
18:29
Speaker 2: zero percent interest deals going on on Select systems now.
18:31
Speaker 2: Donovan Jurgenson dot com for more information.
18:34
Speaker 1: Well, I think.
18:35
Speaker 2: Who's Hot would be the action that's going to be
18:38
Speaker 2: played at Mousqugo High School coming up on Thursday, March fifth, tonight,
18:43
Speaker 2: seven o'clock tip between the Witnell Lady Falcons and the
18:48
Speaker 2: green Field Hall.
18:52
Speaker 3: Coming down to the wire. It's the battle for seventy six.
18:55
Speaker 3: It's a battle for Leyton Avenue. It's coming down to
18:57
Speaker 3: the wire. The rivalry. Finally, Billy and I are very
18:59
Speaker 3: you know.
19:01
Speaker 1: This between you two has to bring in the glazers.
19:03
Speaker 3: All right, I like this or or that simile thereof
19:07
Speaker 3: I don't pass by a quick trip anymore.
19:10
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, yeah, let's be honest.
19:12
Speaker 2: Before and it would have been the Honey dep right,
19:13
Speaker 2: like you gotta you gotta go to one of the
19:15
Speaker 2: green Field establishments.
19:16
Speaker 1: We're gonna find a good one. We're gonna find one.
19:19
Speaker 2: It meets you at cops for the celebration in the
19:21
Speaker 2: Victory Star later tonight.
19:22
Speaker 3: Let's go and and you know what, you know what
19:25
Speaker 3: I gotta give. I gotta give myself a little credit,
19:27
Speaker 3: but I really a should give Hunter. We finally got
19:29
Speaker 3: the audio fixed. I know you guys been battling through
19:31
Speaker 3: it here on the on the stream with us for
19:33
Speaker 3: the last few segments the audio was choppy. It's fixed now,
19:36
Speaker 3: so thanks Ton and I collaborate our minds.
19:39
Speaker 1: But really it was his idea.
19:40
Speaker 2: So wait, that was right after Boss Dobbler suggested, Hey,
19:42
Speaker 2: I got an idea, bring Hunter in to do sign
19:46
Speaker 2: language so we can understand.
19:50
Speaker 1: Good every other day. And then today it.
19:51
Speaker 3: Just it got underwater a little bit. I've been battling through.
19:55
Speaker 3: I know why it was under not water now on
19:57
Speaker 3: the stream, so somebody let the somebody let the see
20:01
Speaker 3: if you want to peek behind the curtain.
20:02
Speaker 1: Everybody.
20:03
Speaker 3: We have a computer one that's dedicated to our stream,
20:06
Speaker 3: and if you have any other audio that's rolling on
20:09
Speaker 3: that computer as well.
20:10
Speaker 1: It'll mess with the audio.
20:11
Speaker 3: And and there was a site that was running some
20:13
Speaker 3: audio that I didn't real I want to blame the
20:19
Speaker 3: Four Letter Network because they always have pop ups running.
20:22
Speaker 3: So yeah, well listen, our long national nightmare is over.
20:24
Speaker 3: So we're gonna get the dolphin next clean audio.
20:27
Speaker 1: Our streaming numbers are down, and we're blaming our It's
20:30
Speaker 1: on me. But but now we're back temporary setback. All right, Well,
20:34
Speaker 1: it's halftime. We're making our adjustments. That's what we do
20:36
Speaker 1: at halftime on the program. And at halftime our halftime
20:39
Speaker 1: reporter comes in our sideline. Guy Scott Dolphin from the
20:42
Speaker 1: Country station on the hall is going to pop in. Next.
20:45
Speaker 1: It's the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. It's a foggy
20:53
Speaker 1: morning in the good Land, but we got to raise
20:55
Speaker 1: sunshine here on the huddle. Our buddy Scott Dolphin from
20:58
Speaker 1: the Country station down the hall is joining the already,
21:00
Speaker 1: Hello Dolf, Hi Drew.
21:01
Speaker 4: I'm just fascinated by this Chechia Korea World Baseball Classic game?
21:06
Speaker 1: Is this live? You better believe. I can't believe that.
21:09
Speaker 2: Four am first pitch Tokyo Dome always goes hard.
21:12
Speaker 4: How does a guy named Shay Whitcombe play for Korea?
21:16
Speaker 4: What's the background you?
21:17
Speaker 1: That's a fair question.
21:19
Speaker 2: Probably it might have something with the Lars Newt bar
21:22
Speaker 2: playing for Team Japan.
21:24
Speaker 1: Or Routy to Les playing for Mexico.
21:26
Speaker 3: I mean, I did Ryan Bolt right and Luke Fisher
21:27
Speaker 3: playing the Armedian national basketball team.
21:29
Speaker 1: Nobody still need somebody big that's funny hired guns maybe huh.
21:34
Speaker 3: Let me tell you they weren't rolling. They weren't rolling
21:36
Speaker 3: Baklema at Luke Fisher's out.
21:38
Speaker 4: I'm gonna deep dive today maybe on YouTube on Chechia Baseball,
21:42
Speaker 4: just to see what the history is over there.
21:44
Speaker 2: They have nice facilities. We got a sweet logo, I'll
21:46
Speaker 2: tell you that much. It is a nice cr is
21:48
Speaker 2: a sweet logo on the half. So this whole tournament,
21:52
Speaker 2: they've got something here, right. This is because it's spring
21:54
Speaker 2: training and otherwise who cares? And you send the stars
21:57
Speaker 2: to these all star teams. You you juice the interest
22:00
Speaker 2: in baseball.
22:01
Speaker 1: You're coming off in Olympics where everybody was kind of
22:03
Speaker 1: into the national thing and now you got this.
22:06
Speaker 4: So it's like perfect timing for them. And so a
22:08
Speaker 4: lot of it's done out west. And then now these
22:10
Speaker 4: games that we're watching here, this is Tokyo. Is that
22:12
Speaker 4: where this is? You start in Tokyo? Yeah, are okay?
22:14
Speaker 1: All right?
22:14
Speaker 4: So they'll play for a week and then they'll all
22:17
Speaker 4: get together into their semi finals.
22:18
Speaker 1: So they'll play.
22:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like four or five days worth of pool play.
22:22
Speaker 2: There's one I want to say in San Juan is
22:24
Speaker 2: one of the other pool play sites, Tokyo, Houston, Miami,
22:27
Speaker 2: and then the quarterfinals will be in Houston, Miami Championships,
22:31
Speaker 2: semi final and Championship in Miami, and I do think
22:34
Speaker 2: they have something Drew like. It definitely embodies what you
22:38
Speaker 2: want to see. The sport is almost more important to
22:43
Speaker 2: it's I shouldn't say almost, it's more important to other
22:45
Speaker 2: countries when you see the passion that they get to
22:48
Speaker 2: see than it is here. And I think it raises
22:50
Speaker 2: people's appreciation for how good the ball is here.
22:54
Speaker 1: Also, yeah, I mean we I roll at Great Britain
22:56
Speaker 1: in Italy, but.
22:57
Speaker 4: Some of these countries are baseball and we know the
22:59
Speaker 4: austral Aliens can play right, and we know a lot
23:02
Speaker 4: about Puerto Rico, Dominican Republican of course, uh you know Venezuela.
23:06
Speaker 4: But but there's always a handful of Major leaguers from Panama.
23:09
Speaker 4: There's always a handful from Brazil. Countries like the Columbia,
23:13
Speaker 4: not a lot, but they're there.
23:14
Speaker 1: And Japan who's dominating.
23:16
Speaker 2: They won the last one, I mean that's one. Three
23:18
Speaker 2: out of the five. They won three out of the five.
23:20
Speaker 2: They have the best player that's ever walked to the
23:22
Speaker 2: face of the Earth, and they also have maybe the
23:24
Speaker 2: most impressive player in the sport coming off of what
23:28
Speaker 2: we watched in the World Series in Yaalamoto.
23:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great Like I mean, you you play.
23:32
Speaker 2: This thing right after October, Yamamoto might be the headlining
23:35
Speaker 2: star for what he had just done.
23:36
Speaker 1: Dominicans got like six of their nine starters are all
23:39
Speaker 1: stars like a star. Yes, they're they're looking pretty solid.
23:42
Speaker 4: But that being said, you look at that USA roster
23:44
Speaker 4: and you think, I don't know, the problem is, it's
23:47
Speaker 4: not like Olympic hockey because we've already heard what is it,
23:50
Speaker 4: s Google or Skiens one of them. They're gonna they're
23:53
Speaker 4: gonna do one start that's it.
23:54
Speaker 1: Yes, once one start, one and done.
23:56
Speaker 4: So it's not like we it's not like you USA
23:58
Speaker 4: hockey where we're getting all of our best all the
24:00
Speaker 4: time in every game.
24:01
Speaker 1: Yeah.
24:01
Speaker 2: Well, and that's where I wonder Drew guys, like when
24:04
Speaker 2: this gets to twenty twenty eight, and I know baseball
24:07
Speaker 2: is gonna be back in the Olympics in twenty twenty eight.
24:09
Speaker 2: Right now, it's not with MLB players, But before the
24:16
Speaker 2: before that happens, the collective Marketing Agreement will come up.
24:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder if that will be I.
24:20
Speaker 2: Wonder if that would be a point of contention, I
24:22
Speaker 2: wonder if that would be a thing, because weren't players
24:25
Speaker 2: rather boisterous and wanting to be able to play in
24:28
Speaker 2: this More like the timing of that would be brutal.
24:30
Speaker 2: It would be very similar to what the NHL players
24:33
Speaker 2: just did, and they took a massive hiatus. I don't
24:35
Speaker 2: know that you could actually do that in baseball. Think
24:37
Speaker 2: they would with the timing, But I mean, in all reality,
24:40
Speaker 2: you could take a week and a half and have
24:41
Speaker 2: the entire tournament. This is all done in a week
24:43
Speaker 2: and a half they take they take five days off
24:46
Speaker 2: for the All Star break already depends on how malleable
24:49
Speaker 2: they'd actually want to make.
24:49
Speaker 1: It's the deadest point in the in the sports calendar.
24:52
Speaker 1: Yeah great, right, yeah, it is perfect for hockey. I
24:55
Speaker 1: think it makes perfect sense. I don't you. Top players
24:57
Speaker 1: from around the world are simply not.
24:59
Speaker 4: There or with baseball got a lot more guys than
25:02
Speaker 4: every roster, I guess got people would still go to
25:04
Speaker 4: the games, but baseball and basketball could survive a lot
25:07
Speaker 4: more than hockey.
25:08
Speaker 1: Good, all right, So what's more attractive this World Baseball
25:10
Speaker 1: Classic that's going on right now where you're watching? Oh yeah,
25:13
Speaker 1: catch you're watching Korea, you're watching these players. Or to
25:18
Speaker 1: start your season with Carolina Arizona in the Hall of
25:22
Speaker 1: Fame game. Oh, this is the United States of America.
25:26
Speaker 1: We care about the NFL. How about that in Canton
25:30
Speaker 1: Carolina and Arizona are playing in the Hall of Fame.
25:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, well listen Fitzgerald and Keigley makes it makes the
25:36
Speaker 2: sense on the headliner?
25:38
Speaker 1: I know, but good guy, I mean yeah, I mean,
25:40
Speaker 1: is do you expect something better?
25:42
Speaker 2: Drew?
25:42
Speaker 1: I'm kind of I don't know what the reaction is.
25:44
Speaker 1: Do you expect more? No, it's just always that game
25:49
Speaker 1: always gets a huge rating because people are so thirsty
25:51
Speaker 1: for It's always a horrible game, is or you know,
25:55
Speaker 1: you lackluster facility, like when the Packers were there and
25:57
Speaker 1: they didn't even play right exactly.
25:59
Speaker 4: But I don't want to. I don't think I'll be watching.
26:03
Speaker 4: The Bears were there a couple of years ago, and
26:04
Speaker 4: I didn't even watched because that game has become such
26:06
Speaker 4: a it's just it's just scrump and it's like, yeah,
26:10
Speaker 4: that's pre preseason.
26:11
Speaker 1: It is pre pre zero. Can you bet on it? Yeah?
26:14
Speaker 1: Oh well oh yeah, and I have Yeah. Well then,
26:17
Speaker 1: speaking of and will of can you bet on it
26:20
Speaker 1: is your favorite little undercovered story in the dark corner
26:24
Speaker 1: of the interwebs these days, that rigged poker game that
26:28
Speaker 1: Damon Jones and Chauncey Billups were part of with the
26:30
Speaker 1: mafia and ripping people off and getting whales in and
26:34
Speaker 1: stealing fifty grand from the love story. I haven't seen
26:36
Speaker 1: the developments. Yeah, well you have twelve of the defendants
26:39
Speaker 1: are taking plea deals now smart not at this point
26:43
Speaker 1: Chauncey Billups and and Damon Jones. But they were the
26:46
Speaker 1: show ponies to get people in, and they were in it,
26:48
Speaker 1: and they were getting a kick of it. And the
26:52
Speaker 1: rigged shuffling machines, the X ray goggles, the x ray
26:55
Speaker 1: tables that allowed them to see like they had, you know,
26:57
Speaker 1: hidden cameras. They were just nuts, cheating their asses off,
27:01
Speaker 1: incredible and ripping off rich guys. Yeah, and if the
27:05
Speaker 1: government's after you, they're gonna get you when it comes
27:06
Speaker 1: to So I read that book Hot Dog Money, which
27:10
Speaker 1: was kind of blew the roof off of college the
27:12
Speaker 1: seediness of college basketball to the point and football to
27:16
Speaker 1: the point where I think that was the precursor to nil.
27:19
Speaker 1: That was one of the big big things that they said,
27:21
Speaker 1: we really need something else because this isn't working because
27:23
Speaker 1: guys were taking envelopes full of money. That was the
27:25
Speaker 1: one the riflemen went down in Chuck Chuck person. Yeah
27:30
Speaker 1: he got snagged up in that. But read that. I
27:34
Speaker 1: question wanted to but.
27:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great book, Billy, question for you. Was
27:38
Speaker 4: Damon Jones a buck when you were a ball boy?
27:41
Speaker 4: Now while I was a ball boy?
27:42
Speaker 1: No? Not while I was a ball boy.
27:43
Speaker 2: I want to say he was a calve while I was,
27:46
Speaker 2: because I definitely he was in the league.
27:48
Speaker 1: While I was.
27:49
Speaker 4: Okay, I remember him out. Yeah, of course, Jauncy Bhillips
27:52
Speaker 4: was a terrific.
27:53
Speaker 1: Player, and wasn't he one time the president of the
27:57
Speaker 1: Players Associated was that? That was what I was thinking
28:00
Speaker 1: he was.
28:01
Speaker 2: He was also the bront of the Players Association, which
28:03
Speaker 2: business man.
28:04
Speaker 1: Apparently this is before Billy's time. You may have seen it, though,
28:08
Speaker 1: but Arman will remember this, and all I feel remember
28:10
Speaker 1: it the nineteen ninety four movie Blue Chips with Coach Bordeaux. Yeah,
28:15
Speaker 1: Penny Hardaway and that they were paying Shack and Penny. Yeah,
28:19
Speaker 1: the old Bob Knight guy had the cave and start
28:21
Speaker 1: paying guys and trying shack and penny like that was.
28:25
Speaker 1: It was probably dead on guys were getting paid.
28:28
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, I wanted to watch every
28:31
Speaker 3: like sports movie there was, right, you guys know about
28:33
Speaker 3: the pantheon of great nineties kids sports movies.
28:36
Speaker 1: It was a legacy right of the year, Yeah, rookie
28:38
Speaker 1: of the year.
28:39
Speaker 3: He doesn't line them up, little big league money, ducks ball,
28:42
Speaker 3: all those sandlots. So I kind of thought every sports
28:45
Speaker 3: movie in the nineties when I was a kid was
28:47
Speaker 3: like that type of movie. And I remember I knew
28:50
Speaker 3: Blue Chips was about basketball, So I told my I
28:52
Speaker 3: wanted to rent Blue Chips.
28:53
Speaker 1: We rent the Blue Chips.
28:55
Speaker 3: I remember thinking, like, this is totally different stylid movie
28:57
Speaker 3: that I'm used to, Like where's the field at moments?
29:00
Speaker 3: Where's like the you know, when did they go and win?
29:04
Speaker 3: Why are they cheating? Like I remember this was that
29:06
Speaker 3: was tough for me. Billy you're a laugh, Like that
29:07
Speaker 3: was a tough one for me. So that was Blue Chips.
29:10
Speaker 3: But that was a great movie. The older I got,
29:12
Speaker 3: I realized what kind of great, you know, really good stuff.
29:14
Speaker 1: I should go back and watch the movie. One on
29:16
Speaker 1: one with Robbie Benson. I loved that movie as a
29:18
Speaker 1: HIC recruit. I love that I could still quote parts
29:22
Speaker 1: of that movie. Robbie Benson and who was the woman
29:24
Speaker 1: He was fantastic played his tutor tutor in college at
29:28
Speaker 1: Western State, and the coach was crooked and hated him,
29:32
Speaker 1: and Robbie Benson was this phenom. And I remember he
29:35
Speaker 1: threw up thirty five against Notre Dame er Michigan and
29:38
Speaker 1: then and then went into the office and said about
29:40
Speaker 1: that scholarship, you can all the way up with the
29:42
Speaker 1: red hot poker, and then he walked out go anywhere.
29:45
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, yeah, I love pretty good.
29:47
Speaker 4: That was pretty net somebody was the right a net
29:52
Speaker 4: O'Toole yes good eight.
29:55
Speaker 1: Seven seven seven, So that I know the end doesn't
30:00
Speaker 1: want a big spotlight on it, but it's a core
30:02
Speaker 1: Get twelve of the defendants taking plea deals and that
30:04
Speaker 1: usually you know, the Feds when it comes to stuff
30:07
Speaker 1: like this, they don't lose, They rarely miss, they don't
30:09
Speaker 1: miss no never. So I mean Chauncey and Damon Jones
30:13
Speaker 1: can they're gonna they can afford some really good lawyers.
30:16
Speaker 1: But when the cases as open and shut as it
30:20
Speaker 1: looks to be. Yeah, good luck and they're probably their.
30:22
Speaker 4: Days being anything associated with basketball or over right. But
30:26
Speaker 4: you know, Michael Vick survived his ordeal and his back
30:30
Speaker 4: being yes relevant again.
30:32
Speaker 2: Not only just relevant, like given given opportunity to impact
30:35
Speaker 2: people and has done a really really good job of
30:38
Speaker 2: being able to repair it.
30:39
Speaker 3: Uh.
30:39
Speaker 2: The I'm fascinated when this first came out and the
30:43
Speaker 2: first like week, the big smoke was who Damon Jones
30:46
Speaker 2: was most connected to, and recently the one that he's
30:49
Speaker 2: been most connected to would be Lebron James.
30:52
Speaker 1: So like that was.
30:54
Speaker 2: It was also in the midst of the time that
30:56
Speaker 2: Lebron was out, he had he had been ramping up
30:59
Speaker 2: to be able to play. So I am personally glad
31:01
Speaker 2: that part.
31:02
Speaker 3: Has such and and we know this, there's an appetite
31:04
Speaker 3: in market, a big one out there for people that
31:06
Speaker 3: want to find something on Lebron.
31:08
Speaker 1: They will, yeah, something.
31:09
Speaker 3: Trying for twenty years, been squeaky clean for twenty years,
31:12
Speaker 3: and they'll do anything they can they can get if
31:14
Speaker 3: they can get catch one case, they'll do it right.
31:16
Speaker 2: How dare he yeah, how dare he love his freaking son?
31:19
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, you don't play basketball and building
31:21
Speaker 2: schools and stuff like that. He should have been out
31:23
Speaker 2: educating kids.
31:24
Speaker 3: He should have been out there betting fifty seven thousand
31:26
Speaker 3: on a golf game like slim Bowler. I don't know
31:28
Speaker 3: who else would have done that, You know, I don't
31:30
Speaker 3: know who else would have been playing in Atlantic City at
31:32
Speaker 3: two in the morning.
31:33
Speaker 1: You know, what do you think Jordan dropped on golf
31:34
Speaker 1: games in his lifetime?
31:36
Speaker 3: So oh, they try to come up with the number one.
31:38
Speaker 3: So how much money it was? I smile and listen.
31:41
Speaker 3: I think I'm much more Michael Jordan positive than I
31:43
Speaker 3: ever have been before.
31:44
Speaker 2: As I'm watching him just dominating. I should be making
31:47
Speaker 2: more money on his team, and it's gotten NASCAR. But
31:50
Speaker 2: I think it's fun that his uh, his driver who's
31:52
Speaker 2: dominating right now is driving a casino car.
31:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is funny.
31:56
Speaker 3: He does have a.
31:57
Speaker 2: Chump of casino car being driven around for team. Jump
32:00
Speaker 2: in and listen. Not surprisingly, they're right there at the
32:03
Speaker 2: front doing pretty well.
32:05
Speaker 1: Go figure it works out. They hit multiple debts he paid,
32:07
Speaker 1: he tried to add him up.
32:08
Speaker 3: I mean, he wrote so many gambling debts for golf
32:11
Speaker 3: gamb but he was so you know he had a
32:12
Speaker 3: competitive problem.
32:13
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just saw it on tiptok guy got
32:16
Speaker 1: fed the Jeremy Ronick telling the story about how he
32:19
Speaker 1: was playing Mike in golf and then he beat him,
32:21
Speaker 1: and Jordan got pissed, and it's like, you know, another
32:24
Speaker 1: eighteen and like tried to press him, and it's like,
32:27
Speaker 1: you got a game to night, dude, and it's like
32:28
Speaker 1: they're playing in the afternoon another beer eighteen, crushing beers,
32:32
Speaker 1: and then on the way out, Ronick beat him in
32:34
Speaker 1: the second eighteen and Jordan's like, all right, let's double
32:38
Speaker 1: or nothing that we win by thirty tonight or we
32:40
Speaker 1: went by twenty tonight and I score like thirty five
32:43
Speaker 1: and Ronick's like, no way, and he scored forty.
32:48
Speaker 4: Dude was and probably hasn't lost any of that competitive spirit.
32:52
Speaker 4: Ronick was a legendary gambler in his own right. I
32:55
Speaker 4: remember my old partner on the radio, Karen, telling me
32:57
Speaker 4: her and her husband were in Monte Carlo all places
33:00
Speaker 4: at a casino, and Jeremy Ronick was there and had
33:03
Speaker 4: a mountain of chips this side that was probably worth
33:05
Speaker 4: hundreds of thousands of dollars.
33:06
Speaker 1: You can always buy in for that he was a
33:09
Speaker 1: young Blackhawk. I was covering a lot of hockey, and
33:11
Speaker 1: I went down and did a bunch of Blackhawks games
33:13
Speaker 1: and interviewed the bunch of times. Great interview, great dude,
33:16
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and a great yeah, great, no doubt. And
33:21
Speaker 1: he was living the dream like the Chicago young athlete
33:26
Speaker 1: in Chicago, he lived the dream.
33:28
Speaker 4: Are you saying it's not the same for the young
33:29
Speaker 4: athlete in Green Bay?
33:31
Speaker 1: I'm saying that's probably true. I don't think it.
33:33
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you this, it's not the It's not
33:35
Speaker 2: the same for the young athlete Chicago. Now.
33:37
Speaker 1: Well, Pete crow Armstrong's living pretty good. Jonathan Taste and
33:40
Speaker 1: those guys lived a pretty good life. It's the the
33:43
Speaker 1: rookie this young. But it sure is different.
33:48
Speaker 2: It's different, sure is different there they're the toast of
33:51
Speaker 2: the town.
33:52
Speaker 1: But it is a definite different existence. Yeah, that's for sure.
33:54
Speaker 3: Absolutely, But really quick, I did find this. This is
33:57
Speaker 3: an article only from like about two months ago that
34:00
Speaker 3: I was. Barkley claimed that Jordan and him at a
34:01
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars putt once.
34:03
Speaker 1: I believe, no doubt, no doubt. So the Bucks might
34:07
Speaker 1: get right. They played the Jazz on Saturday, one team
34:10
Speaker 1: with the worst record. I was telling the boys, I
34:12
Speaker 1: think the bottom ten teams in the NBA right now
34:15
Speaker 1: have combined for forty four straight losses. Oh my god,
34:18
Speaker 1: they're on. They're on a forty four game lou combined
34:21
Speaker 1: losing streak. No one in the top no one in
34:23
Speaker 1: the bottom ten has won a game in a while.
34:24
Speaker 4: I remember saying Friday, I said, yeah, the Bucks are
34:27
Speaker 4: gonna they can coast into this playing tournament.
34:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's over, It's over.
34:31
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you could see the frustration Gianni's
34:33
Speaker 4: fire in the ball last night. It's just it's it's
34:35
Speaker 4: gonna get ugly before it's bleak. At least Arman has
34:40
Speaker 4: Mark Utt. Well, hey, Market won their second game last night.
34:45
Speaker 1: Yeah they did that. They made Providence. They look good
34:48
Speaker 1: doing it.
34:48
Speaker 3: I was happy to see James and Stevens playing well.
34:51
Speaker 3: But I didn't need that.
34:52
Speaker 4: I mean, at least we talked about that Badger's blow
34:55
Speaker 4: up Maryland, but Nolan Winter got hurt.
34:56
Speaker 1: Hopefully serious man, I'm excited for Market. I think they
35:00
Speaker 1: why not? Why couldn't they upset Yukon on Saturday? They
35:03
Speaker 1: could Let's go, Yeah, let's make it happen.
35:05
Speaker 2: I'm going to the game. I'm gonna be there to
35:06
Speaker 2: see some appreciate coming.
35:08
Speaker 1: Let's go. What time is it eleven thirty am? Oh
35:11
Speaker 1: maybe I can. Actually, I guess with the Golden Eagles.
35:13
Speaker 1: You got tickets for me, Thank you. Actually, I don't
35:17
Speaker 1: know what they aren't. I think they'll pay you ten
35:20
Speaker 1: bucks to go market on a Saturday. You know, you
35:23
Speaker 1: can probably get in for forty bucks upstairs. Probably it's
35:26
Speaker 1: the Shamrock Shuffle, so there's a lot more. Yeah it is.
35:29
Speaker 1: That's that one. All right, Maybe I will. If you
35:32
Speaker 1: can't have anything left to play for besides seeding in
35:34
Speaker 1: the n C, I think they can.
35:35
Speaker 3: I think they are playing for a one seat. The
35:37
Speaker 3: question is, well they get it. I think they have
35:39
Speaker 3: a chance, but Florida has something to say about that.
35:41
Speaker 1: They will have their foot on the gas. This would
35:43
Speaker 1: be a quad three loss Market. Yeah, they lose to Markett.
35:47
Speaker 1: They probably getting one seat, so I don't think they
35:49
Speaker 1: want to lose. Yeah, they're going to be Uh, they're
35:51
Speaker 1: be going at it. Thanks for popping by. I always
35:53

Speaker 1: it's a bit of a nail by our careers.
37:00
Speaker 2: Eleven to four turned into a bit of a runaway
37:02
Speaker 2: here with Korea on the on the.
37:04
Speaker 1: Former Czech Republic. What are they now, Armine cech Cech.
37:07
Speaker 1: I looked up their roster.
37:08
Speaker 3: I couldn't really recognize anybody, so I felt bad about that.
37:11
Speaker 3: But they do have, you know, a bunch of ball players.
37:13
Speaker 3: That is, they got guys in uniforms. Yeah, it showed
37:17
Speaker 3: that they won the European Championship in ninety seven, if
37:19
Speaker 3: I'm not mistaken on their Wikipedia.
37:21
Speaker 1: So they check with my buddyamb all over there. I mean,
37:24
Speaker 1: my buddy Kevin is a huge international baseball guy. He
37:28
Speaker 1: gets up early and watching just a little freaky. That's
37:31
Speaker 1: his hobby man, big time international baseball guy. I love it.
37:35
Speaker 2: I mean, like again, I just I like seeing how
37:37
Speaker 2: intense other people in other countries watching about it. Yeah,
37:41
Speaker 2: and I also like watching how it's consumed, right like
37:45
Speaker 2: European soccer. For me, I don't I don't think the
37:48
Speaker 2: game is bad. I just it needs I just need
37:51
Speaker 2: a little bit more pace, any a little more actually,
37:52
Speaker 2: I need a little more condensed.
37:53
Speaker 1: I also would it would be better if you knew
37:55
Speaker 1: the players.
37:56
Speaker 2: My favorite part of watching a UH Premier League match
38:01
Speaker 2: is watching the crowd feel in the international games all
38:06
Speaker 2: kinds of energy that way, Like when you start watching
38:09
Speaker 2: KBO when that stuff was on, and watching games in Japan,
38:13
Speaker 2: it's watching the crowd and then you go and see
38:16
Speaker 2: the energy that they had for the Dominican Republic.
38:19
Speaker 1: That stuff was next non stop, non stop in the crowds.
38:22
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, So Justin and Jacksonville said, I think
38:24
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic should be played during All Star Week,
38:27
Speaker 1: players and pitchers already in game shape. Plus I think
38:29
Speaker 1: guys would care more. Is there any disagree? I like
38:32
Speaker 1: this now because you know the teams together for a while,
38:35
Speaker 1: and you know.
38:35
Speaker 2: That's what I like the WBC right now, Like I
38:37
Speaker 2: think to kick off the sport the season, Like you said, Drew,
38:40
Speaker 2: there's nothing, there's no sport that's gonna get a better launch.
38:42
Speaker 1: It's like spring trainings is not sexy, and then this is.
38:45
Speaker 1: And it's not every year, it's every couple every couple
38:47
Speaker 1: of years. The Olympic one.
38:49
Speaker 2: I do believe they would be they would benefit greatly
38:53
Speaker 2: if they found a way to be malleable and do
38:56
Speaker 2: it right.
38:56
Speaker 1: Like again, I don't know that you could come down
38:59
Speaker 1: for two Can you shut down for two weeks?
39:01
Speaker 2: Sure? But I don't know that you can shut down
39:03
Speaker 2: for two weeks? Could you, scent? Could you play a
39:05
Speaker 2: bunch of Triple A guys for a week?
39:07
Speaker 1: Right? Like?
39:07
Speaker 2: Could you play a significant amount of Triple A guys?
39:09
Speaker 2: Could you have seven to eight players on each team?
39:12
Speaker 2: Be Triple A players? I don't think it's crazy to think.
39:15
Speaker 1: Of you limit it to one guy per team? So
39:17
Speaker 1: then it's like, but then does everybody have to be represented?
39:20
Speaker 1: Does it? You have what a thirty man roster with
39:22
Speaker 1: one guy from every team? How do you do it?
39:24
Speaker 2: I get that's great, But I just I think you
39:26
Speaker 2: I think baseball would greatly and MLB would greatly greatly
39:30
Speaker 2: benefit by trying to find a way to do it.
39:32
Speaker 1: Like in your that's a good point.
39:34
Speaker 2: Maybe you eliminate how many or a certain number of
39:37
Speaker 2: players that you could. But for especially for what could
39:41
Speaker 2: come down the horizon in twenty twenty seven, if indeed
39:44
Speaker 2: they have some kind of significant work stoppage and then
39:47
Speaker 2: MLB players don't find their way into the Olympics in
39:50
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight, that would be a huge miss on
39:53
Speaker 2: an opportunity to try to get back some good will.
39:55
Speaker 3: Well, one of the best memories of Brewers fans is
39:56
Speaker 3: when Ben Sheets won that won that championship, the gold
39:59
Speaker 3: medal game was it against Q but Drew I think
40:00
Speaker 3: he was the starter and won that game to the US,
40:02
Speaker 3: and that's one of our best memories, I know, as
40:05
Speaker 3: young Brewers fans excited about a prospect getting to see
40:08
Speaker 3: him play on the big stage, win a big game,
40:10
Speaker 3: and then obviously matriculated to the Brewers system become their
40:13
Speaker 3: star A So that was yeah, I think that there's
40:15
Speaker 3: the energy is there for it?
40:17
Speaker 1: Would they would extend the All Star break from July
40:20
Speaker 1: ninth to the twenty first in twenty twenty eight to
40:23
Speaker 1: accommodate the tournament with the All Star Game likely would
40:26
Speaker 1: be in San Francisco, San Diego or Vegas that year.
40:30
Speaker 3: There you go, Hey, another thing that's been great about
40:33
Speaker 3: the WBC. It's given us another chance to rip on fanatics.
40:36
Speaker 3: Who's doing it again, colle fanatics. They find a way
40:39
Speaker 3: to screw it up again. My man Billy trying to
40:41
Speaker 3: get a Blue Terrain jersey not available right, and then
40:45
Speaker 3: I started investigating more. If you order the jersey the
40:48
Speaker 3: day they were available. They don't come in until the
40:51
Speaker 3: day the tournament's over. That's a big l for fanatics.
40:54
Speaker 3: Thanks for not having so. You cannot get a WBC
40:57
Speaker 3: American jersey if at all during the tournament, It's not possible. Also,
41:03
Speaker 3: their sweatshirts say USA undefeated.
41:05
Speaker 1: Why that's like it needs to be explained to me.
41:07
Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense because we're not undefeated a and
41:09
Speaker 3: everybody has that undefeated no matter what country you buy.
41:12
Speaker 1: Doesn't make sense.
41:13
Speaker 3: And I saw on Aaron Judge jersey mock up or
41:16
Speaker 3: whatever it was that then the numbers were all crooked.
41:18
Speaker 3: So way to go fanatics for doing it again, putting
41:21
Speaker 3: us in the sports fan merchandising personal hell that you
41:25
Speaker 3: put us in for low these many years.
41:27
Speaker 2: Please somebody save us from this sports gear hell. Please,
41:30
Speaker 2: Where on earth is Russell Athletic when you need him?
41:32
Speaker 2: Russell Majestic? Anybody?
41:34
Speaker 3: I will take anybody at this point, I'll take Stephen
41:37
Speaker 3: Barry's at this.
41:38
Speaker 2: Point, Stephen Barrys would have an absolute time right now
41:41
Speaker 2: if they be able to answer the chat.
41:43
Speaker 1: They did just as good a job for a lot
41:45
Speaker 1: less money.
41:45
Speaker 2: The really tough thing is you do buy some jerseys
