- 1:14Speaker 4: to Bill Schroeder and relive. We get to celebrate the
- 1:18Speaker 4: one-week anniversary. And celebrate the Brewers did by just putting
- 1:23Speaker 4: out an absolute six-minute masterpiece of team building, excitement. And
- 1:29Speaker 4: Drew just puts you right back in. into a game
- 1:32Speaker 4: five mode. Once again, it's a beautiful, beautiful week. We've
- 1:35Speaker 4: been living here in the state of Wisconsin. There've been
- 1:37Speaker 4: many MVPs in this whole process, but the real MVPs
- 1:41Speaker 4: amongst others are this Brewers media team.
- 1:43Speaker 2: I mean, they just kill it on social.
- 1:45Speaker 4: They had this, they had this beautiful epic one yesterday
- 1:48Speaker 4: with the parade and the slow-mo of the Miller light
- 1:51Speaker 4: can going through the air. Did you guys see that one?
- 1:53Speaker 4: That was just fantastic. The work they do is quite impressive.
- 1:58Speaker 4: I mean, this is pretty good stuff. You know, they, they, um,
- 2:02Speaker 4: They've really taken the kind of media highlight, you know,
- 2:06Speaker 4: content material to the next level. So we've known that
- 2:09Speaker 4: throughout the year. So, yeah, that was an awesome one.
- 2:12Speaker 4: I would recommend it for anyone who wants to bask
- 2:14Speaker 4: in the glory. It was merely one week ago that
- 2:17Speaker 4: the Brewers capped off their World Series victory.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Crazy. It's crazy. It's like we still don't want to
- 2:24Speaker 2: let go of this yet. No, I'm holding on to it.
- 2:27Speaker 2: I'm holding on to it. The great vibes were immaculate.
- 2:30Speaker 4: The whole thing, it was like, it's like, We did
- 2:32Speaker 4: need time to recover. We needed a little refractory period
- 2:35Speaker 4: to kind of regenerate a little bit. Well, and that's
- 2:37Speaker 4: the thing because you really never even came down. You
- 2:40Speaker 4: never sobered up before the parade. You just kept that
- 2:43Speaker 4: hangover rolling in. Thank God the Packers did play on
- 2:45Speaker 4: Thursday night this past week because Sunday would have been
- 2:48Speaker 4: completely washed out with energy and momentum. But now you
- 2:52Speaker 4: do just get to settle in and realize, all right,
- 2:56Speaker 4: Team stores, rally houses, and Dick's Sporting Goods are back
- 2:58Speaker 4: stocked up. Go and grab as much as you can possible.
- 3:02Speaker 4: And continue to enjoy it because there is one Cub
- 3:05Speaker 4: fan that lives in my neighborhood. And it does appear
- 3:07Speaker 4: that the number of different folks around our area have
- 3:12Speaker 4: all targeted him and let everybody know. Because it seems
- 3:15Speaker 4: like the number of Brewer flags that have... resurrected, as
- 3:19Speaker 4: Jordan Love would like to say about his wide receiver.
- 3:21Speaker 4: They've all resurrected flying directly into their yard, which is
- 3:25Speaker 4: a beautiful thing. Does it feel personal? Kind of the
- 3:27Speaker 4: reverse of that one. Seems very attacking, which I like.
- 3:29Speaker 4: You remember the Packer fan in Dallas that was just
- 3:32Speaker 4: hanging out at the end of his driveway dancing around?
- 3:34Speaker 4: It's kind of like the reverse of that, where he's
- 3:36Speaker 4: the only one around, so he's.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Going to get the brunt of it. It's been a
- 3:39Speaker 2: tough week. That guy's probably doing his same dance here today.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Gotta think so.
- 3:43Speaker 4: I hope he's doing the same dance down there in
- 3:45Speaker 4: Dallas today as big number one returns to practice and
- 3:48Speaker 4: starts doing some individual drills today, Drew.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Another good reason to celebrate on this beautiful hump day.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Very exciting.
- 3:54Speaker 3: It is.
- 3:54Speaker 2: It's Hot Take Hump Day. We'll take those at 877-794-1973.
- 3:56Speaker 2: If you got them. Drop them if you got them.
- 4:05Speaker 4: Drop them if you got them. Your hottest takes. Put
- 4:08Speaker 4: a quarter in Billy and ask what he thinks about
- 4:10Speaker 4: the Jacoby Brissette transaction. Well, I think, Drew, I was
- 4:13Speaker 4: pretty damn close to being right.
- 4:14Speaker 2: You were not.
- 4:15Speaker 4: I'm telling you, Billy's had his finger on the pulse
- 4:19Speaker 4: of this quarterback stuff because he did say, oh. Packers
- 4:22Speaker 4: going to listen to Tyron Taylor. And then lo and behold,
- 4:25Speaker 4: they did make a move on the quarterback side.
- 4:27Speaker 2: They did make a move. It was adjacent.
- 4:29Speaker 4: They swap around the practice squatters with Baltimore.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Not the guy that's actually going to play.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Jacoby Brissett gets traded from Arizona to Baltimore. He'll now
- 4:40Speaker 4: play for his seventh team in the NFL. He's traded
- 4:42Speaker 4: now for his second time in his career. And Drew,
- 4:45Speaker 4: that holdout that he had in the beginning of the
- 4:47Speaker 4: year really worked out. Because at least now you had
- 4:49Speaker 4: enough guaranteed money where they didn't want to just outright
- 4:53Speaker 4: cut him. But when Mike LaFleur stepped up to the
- 4:55Speaker 4: podium yesterday and said, yeah, we have this new quarterback
- 4:59Speaker 4: depth chart. It's going to be my boy Gardner Minshew,
- 5:01Speaker 4: number one. Carson Beck, the rookie's number two. Jacoby Brissett's
- 5:05Speaker 4: going to be the emergency guy's third string.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Oh, sweet.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Okay.
- 5:08Speaker 2: So you hate him.
- 5:09Speaker 4: So you can't wait for him to be out quick enough.
- 5:12Speaker 4: And then instantly there's a team that's desperate for one.
- 5:14Speaker 4: So it will not be Jacoby Brissett tomorrow night, but, uh, he'll,
- 5:18Speaker 4: he'll be their starter moving forward. And Derek Henry and
- 5:21Speaker 4: say flowers can, uh, can rejoice because my man Joe
- 5:24Speaker 4: Fiano is not going to be able to take them
- 5:26Speaker 4: the rest of the wager.
- 5:27Speaker 2: I can't imagine.
- 5:28Speaker 4: It's definitely a better option than those guys. Yeah, this
- 5:30Speaker 4: is definitely a better option. And the guy, yeah, I mean,
- 5:33Speaker 4: it seemed like Jacoby and the Cardinals went off on
- 5:35Speaker 4: the wrong foot early on this year, but he made
- 5:38Speaker 4: the move he had to make. Holding out, he's going
- 5:40Speaker 4: to get more money, and now he's going to move
- 5:41Speaker 4: on to somewhere else. But the quarterback moves now for
- 5:45Speaker 4: at least in the NFL. This is the one where
- 5:47Speaker 4: I think the deadline for trades in the NFL should
- 5:49Speaker 4: be like three or four weeks later. Because then you
- 5:52Speaker 4: actually get more action, Drew, like you do still in baseball,
- 5:56Speaker 4: where baseball is still maybe two or three weeks too
- 5:59Speaker 4: early for teams to really start realizing that you can
- 6:01Speaker 4: punt on it. Because for the next month here in November,
- 6:04Speaker 4: there's going to be two or three quarterbacks that get
- 6:06Speaker 4: lost for the year. And then those teams for the
- 6:08Speaker 4: next six or seven weeks just become completely unwatchable. And
- 6:12Speaker 4: that is the worst part of it. Not that team
- 6:16Speaker 4: seasons go down the wayside. It's the fact that we
- 6:18Speaker 4: got to watch some of these teams like Baltimore on
- 6:20Speaker 4: Thursday Night Football tomorrow night.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Now, tell me if I'm wrong. He doesn't have an agent, right?
- 6:24Speaker 2: Or he didn't.
- 6:24Speaker 4: That was like a well-known thing with Jacoby when he
- 6:26Speaker 4: was negotiating that deal. So did he negotiate this trade too? Like,
- 6:30Speaker 4: how does that work when you don't have an agent? Actually,
- 6:32Speaker 4: you don't, I guess. It's the teams that negotiate a trade.
- 6:34Speaker 4: But I always wonder about the few players that don't
- 6:37Speaker 4: have agents and that choose to represent themselves.
- 6:40Speaker 2: There's just one last call that's got to be made. Yeah,
- 6:42Speaker 2: I think so, basically. The team's got to call you instead.
- 6:45Speaker 4: And he's going to say, you know what, I don't
- 6:47Speaker 4: have to shave any percentage for anybody else except for myself.
- 6:51Speaker 4: So I guess that part of it's good. But yeah,
- 6:54Speaker 4: that was in the back of my mind when I
- 6:55Speaker 4: was thinking about all this stuff is that I remember,
- 6:57Speaker 4: because that was kind of a storyline around his... like
- 7:00Speaker 4: hold in that he, that he negotiated in his own deal.
- 7:03Speaker 4: Cause he doesn't have an agent. So, well now him
- 7:05Speaker 4: and he goes to Baltimore where one of the more
- 7:08Speaker 4: famous guys without an agent in the NFL resides. Lamar
- 7:11Speaker 4: Jackson has negotiated all of his deals.
- 7:14Speaker 2: It's true. Without an agent.
- 7:15Speaker 4: He has, his mother is a part of his decision-making
- 7:20Speaker 4: process and negotiating, but he's negotiated. They've negotiated their last
- 7:25Speaker 4: two contracts. They've had, you know, some advisors and some
- 7:27Speaker 4: lawyers around as well, but, He's in line to make
- 7:31Speaker 4: the biggest contract in the NFL that we've ever seen.
- 7:34Speaker 4: He's also negotiated to the point where he's got a
- 7:37Speaker 4: full no trade clause and like $ 75 million do at
- 7:41Speaker 4: the end of the year. So Baltimore is really hamstrung.
- 7:44Speaker 4: And I like it from this standpoint, true. They're like,
- 7:46Speaker 4: we're not going to watch the next two and a
- 7:48Speaker 4: half months and have our team just completely punt. We're
- 7:51Speaker 4: too good to be able to do that. I like
- 7:53Speaker 4: that in the NFL. At least there's some guys that
- 7:55Speaker 4: are doing it. I thought maybe Tyrod Taylor would be
- 7:58Speaker 4: in the mix, but But maybe because of Veronica and
- 8:01Speaker 4: Jordan's Halloween costume inspiration.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Oh, how about that? The Packers drew like, we just
- 8:06Speaker 2: can't give up on our backup quarterback.
- 8:09Speaker 4: Way too many shots being taken by our quarterback to
- 8:13Speaker 4: put ourselves into that danger zone. Yes, they were blind refs,
- 8:16Speaker 4: if anyone doesn't get that reference that they were doing.
- 8:18Speaker 4: So that was kind of a funny one.
- 8:21Speaker 2: That was pretty good.
- 8:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:23Speaker 2: The sunglasses, the white canes. Well, it was the video.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Falling down and throwing the flag while you're falling down.
- 8:29Speaker 2: The video, too, was pretty good.
- 8:30Speaker 4: The in motion falling down flag throw drew was a one.
- 8:34Speaker 4: It's as good as it gets. I think you see.
- 8:37Speaker 4: Will he have to apologize for that coming up tonight? See,
- 8:40Speaker 4: I thought about that because, like, you know, you never
- 8:42Speaker 4: get anything from Jordan. I sure hope he doesn't apologize
- 8:44Speaker 4: for it when he steps up to his locker coming
- 8:46Speaker 4: up here in a couple of minutes. No, he'll just say, oh,
- 8:48Speaker 4: my wife wanted to do it. Maybe he'll blame Veronica.
- 8:50Speaker 4: I would definitely blame the missus for that one. He
- 8:52Speaker 4: doesn't necessarily... I can't get fined.
- 8:54Speaker 2: It was her fault. Exactly.
- 8:55Speaker 4: He doesn't reveal a lot about himself, and he's not
- 8:57Speaker 4: super open about certain things. Like, you know, he's pretty
- 8:59Speaker 4: even keel at the podium.
- 9:00Speaker 2: It's a lot of.
- 9:01Speaker 4: But Veronica's the one that gave us the silly body
- 9:04Speaker 4: thing that gave us this thing, too. So maybe she's
- 9:07Speaker 4: the one to... To reveal Jordan's personality a little bit more.
- 9:10Speaker 4: And I'm okay with that if that's the case. Well,
- 9:12Speaker 4: I mean, like every, most relationships, she probably picked out
- 9:15Speaker 4: the costume.
- 9:16Speaker 2: She picked it out. She came up with the whole idea.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Laying it out.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Congratulations. Pretty good. You're going to make some news with this.
- 9:22Speaker 4: We weren't making fun of NFL referees. We were just
- 9:26Speaker 4: referencing Foot Locker employees. Yes.
- 9:27Speaker 2: That's what we were doing.
- 9:28Speaker 4: That's what it was we tried to buy some jordans
- 9:31Speaker 4: for the little one and they just kept stumbling and
- 9:34Speaker 4: fumbling their way through my wife told me we're doing
- 9:36Speaker 4: a tiktok video i don't know what these things are
- 9:37Speaker 4: all right i just i just put the costume on
- 9:39Speaker 4: and did it okay sorry we have a baby at.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Home i don't have snap face yeah i don't have snap.
- 9:43Speaker 4: Face the plausible talk or whatever murph said that's just
- 9:47Speaker 4: like the plausible deniability that old guy coaches have about
- 9:51Speaker 4: social media is always perfect because you know they kind
- 9:53Speaker 4: of know but they can always say i don't know
- 9:55Speaker 4: what that what's going on with that i'm not on
- 9:57Speaker 4: the internet all right guys yeah I don't know Yo,
- 10:00Speaker 4: Belichick thing. He's probably further behind the curve. Yeah, especially
- 10:04Speaker 4: now after somebody left out of here.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Well, now that he doesn't have to put mermaid pictures
- 10:08Speaker 2: up on the internet, right?
- 10:10Speaker 4: I mean, Hudson's like seeing someone else. But they still
- 10:13Speaker 4: hang out and work together and she's seeing someone else apparently. So, okay,
- 10:17Speaker 4: hold on. You got more tea on this. So she's
- 10:19Speaker 4: still working there? Yeah, that's what, they still work together
- 10:22Speaker 4: and they're still around. There was a picture of them
- 10:24Speaker 4: in Nantucket this summer.
- 10:25Speaker 2: He's probably scared of her.
- 10:26Speaker 4: He's probably scared she's going to pull some sort of
- 10:28Speaker 4: contract deal on. I guarantee that's what it is. Well,
- 10:31Speaker 4: it's a fascinating view. He's the only one that survived
- 10:33Speaker 4: the whole thing.
- 10:34Speaker 2: I mean, think of him. Lombardi's gone for.
- 10:38Speaker 4: Interesting reasons about recruiting and different companionships that seemingly were
- 10:43Speaker 4: happening throughout.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Steve Belichick is gone. Yeah.
- 10:48Speaker 4: I guess I wouldn't be surprised if he would want
- 10:50Speaker 4: to make sure that nobody thought anything weird about him.
- 10:52Speaker 2: It's a weird deal. And my man Billy Edwards is playing.
- 10:55Speaker 4: Post yesterday, Bill Belichick's family is breathing a sigh of
- 10:58Speaker 4: relief following his split from Jordan Hudson.
- 11:00Speaker 2: But their worries are far from over.
- 11:03Speaker 3: My.
- 11:04Speaker 2: The family's concerns haven't completely gone away. That is so
- 11:07Speaker 2: well dramatically written.
- 11:10Speaker 4: Well, they don't know what the collateral damage is going
- 11:13Speaker 4: to be until they kind of wait.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Bill's family never really had an issue with the age.
- 11:16Speaker 4: Difference between him and Jordan. Their concerns were more about
- 11:19Speaker 4: how involved she became in his professional life.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the issue.
- 11:22Speaker 3: That's fair. Yeah.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Yeah, we all had that problem. You can be a
- 11:26Speaker 2: young girl.
- 11:26Speaker 4: There were certain people that were very proud and excited
- 11:28Speaker 4: for him. Very involved in his business affairs, but they
- 11:32Speaker 4: don't really know the full extent.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Of her involvement.
- 11:35Speaker 4: Well, that's the, that's the, that's going to be the
- 11:36Speaker 4: complicated thing to untangle.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Well, also how much of his holding she has for
- 11:39Speaker 2: all of her real estate holdings and all the things.
- 11:41Speaker 2: But didn't the story say they broke up like a
- 11:43Speaker 2: year ago? That's the thing.
- 11:45Speaker 4: So if the family's just finding out about it now,
- 11:48Speaker 4: good for them.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Maybe they were still hanging out. Late last year, they
- 11:51Speaker 2: called it quits.
- 11:52Speaker 4: It takes a long time to release yourself sometimes to
- 11:54Speaker 4: those things.
- 11:56Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 11:56Speaker 4: Maybe she was still living there or at least had
- 11:58Speaker 4: some sort of like driving his car. You don't know
- 12:00Speaker 4: what's going on with these. Hey, that's the bed you
- 12:04Speaker 4: get in there. That's the soup you get in.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Yeah, pause.
- 12:07Speaker 2: I mean, it's a wild thing. That's the bed you
- 12:09Speaker 2: get in. He gets nervous and immediately goes back to
- 12:11Speaker 2: soup and food.
- 12:12Speaker 4: Listen, I didn't say I wasn't. I'm not going to
- 12:15Speaker 4: sit here and say I told everyone that was going
- 12:17Speaker 4: to end badly. He immediately goes to aisle two, Drew, to.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Try to clean it up. Whatever. Yeah, aisle two.
- 12:23Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:25Speaker 4: Well, listen, but that's the thing. If she's still involved
- 12:28Speaker 4: with the program, she's got to have something going on then.
- 12:31Speaker 2: That's interesting. That's a fascinating deal.
- 12:34Speaker 4: We would have had a lot more Bill Belichick smoke
- 12:36Speaker 4: this week if they would have been able to finish
- 12:38Speaker 4: the job.
- 12:38Speaker 3: That's right.
- 12:39Speaker 2: They would have won this past weekend.
- 12:40Speaker 4: They also would have potentially completely ended Notre Dame's season.
- 12:44Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys were watching and following
- 12:46Speaker 4: any of the college football drama that went down last night.
- 12:49Speaker 4: They were the much less important polls that came out
- 12:52Speaker 4: last night.
- 12:53Speaker 3: And.
- 12:54Speaker 2: People were not happy about it.
- 12:56Speaker 4: People were not happy about where Notre Dame went, where
- 12:59Speaker 4: Miami went, where Ohio State went.
- 13:01Speaker 2: But apparently.
- 13:01Speaker 4: Well, those are the polls everyone was watching last night.
- 13:03Speaker 4: Bill Belichick could have knocked Notre Dame completely out of
- 13:06Speaker 4: the college football playoff. They would have been able to
- 13:07Speaker 4: finish that thing off on Saturday night. That was a
- 13:10Speaker 4: fascinating thing to be.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Able to see.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Well, and that's why you're following it, Billy. I was
- 13:15Speaker 4: trying to eye it up. I was watching as much
- 13:17Speaker 4: of it as possible. Also, I love how mad people get. Guys,
- 13:23Speaker 4: it's week eight. It's week nine in college football. It'll
- 13:26Speaker 4: be okay. There'll be plenty of time for them to
- 13:28Speaker 4: fix it. They might even have four more games to
- 13:31Speaker 4: be able to play for all of this to actually
- 13:33Speaker 4: settle itself. Yeah, you can, you know, as a team,
- 13:35Speaker 4: you can control your own destiny a bit by, you know,
- 13:37Speaker 4: winning games in the field.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Win the one this weekend. It might help. Win the
- 13:41Speaker 2: game this weekend.
- 13:41Speaker 3: It might help.
- 13:42Speaker 4: It's like, but you said it a while ago. When
- 13:45Speaker 4: it was just four, it's the greatest. It's basically an invitational.
- 13:48Speaker 4: It's just the greatest invitational party there is. And you're
- 13:51Speaker 4: trying to get an invite to that party. And that's
- 13:53Speaker 4: all it is. So, hey, everyone's excited as we get
- 13:57Speaker 4: closer to the playoffs for those polls and things like that. So,
- 14:01Speaker 4: it's excellent.
- 14:02Speaker 2: Did the Badgers get a mention, Billy? Just wondering because
- 14:04Speaker 2: I know people were trying to.
- 14:06Speaker 4: I think they got the only mention they got was
- 14:08Speaker 4: despite their lone sizable victory being against Wisconsin. Yeah, the
- 14:14Speaker 4: Badgers didn't even get a shout out.
- 14:16Speaker 2: In Notre Dame's best win.
- 14:18Speaker 4: They gave that at least on the bottom third to
- 14:20Speaker 4: their win against North Carolina this past weekend.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Which was a three-point road win.
- 14:26Speaker 4: I would have thought, I would have hoped they would
- 14:28Speaker 4: have thought, you know, beating the brakes off Wisconsin week
- 14:30Speaker 4: one at Lambeau would have been categorized as that.
- 14:33Speaker 2: But no, they slid back.
- 14:34Speaker 4: Iowa did insert themselves back into the top 25. The
- 14:38Speaker 4: Bruins right up there near the top and the Hoosiers.
- 14:42Speaker 4: Indiana was one that people were very upset about. They
- 14:46Speaker 4: drew a 60-yard field goal to tie the game just
- 14:49Speaker 4: to get into overtime. And they slotted in at four,
- 14:52Speaker 4: and people were like, wait a second. So if they
- 14:54Speaker 4: would have rowed the boat and got up out of
- 14:56Speaker 4: there with the victory, 16-13, would they have been out?
- 15:00Speaker 2: Fascinating. It is interesting. Notre Dame is still the number
- 15:03Speaker 2: one trending topic on X.
- 15:05Speaker 4: As they will continue to be. Just where we left
- 15:08Speaker 4: off a year ago. But luckily, we'll change it to 24,
- 15:11Speaker 4: and none of this will matter. There are crazy states
- 15:14Speaker 4: of the world that we're upset about not getting in.
- 15:15Speaker 4: It almost seems like they're... They're engagement farming here a
- 15:19Speaker 4: little bit with the Bulls.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Let's get people talking.
- 15:22Speaker 4: You might be right about that. And then the market
- 15:24Speaker 4: might correct them. Cooler heads will prevail and it'll settle. Well,
- 15:28Speaker 4: ESPN would make some sense to throw six SEC teams
- 15:33Speaker 4: in there.
- 15:33Speaker 2: It spices up a lot of their matchups coming up
- 15:35Speaker 2: this weekend. Definitely.
- 15:36Speaker 4: You've got to have some good tinfoil hat. When you
- 15:38Speaker 4: start getting into college football, there's more territorialism than just
- 15:44Speaker 4: about anything in sports. And your frustration of they are
- 15:47Speaker 4: still out to get us, it never ceases to amaze me.
- 15:50Speaker 4: It is conspiratorial a lot for a lot of people.
- 15:53Speaker 4: They think there must be a reason that they don't
- 15:55Speaker 4: like us. This guy hates us for this reason because
- 15:58Speaker 4: he actually lost to us when he was a player
- 16:00Speaker 4: 28 years ago.
- 16:01Speaker 3: Yes.
- 16:01Speaker 2: That's why you're eight and not six. That's exactly why.
- 16:05Speaker 4: That's when they start investigating every part of the story
- 16:08Speaker 4: of every individual person on the committee.
- 16:10Speaker 2: I remember when the Badgers didn't get a seat they liked.
- 16:15Speaker 2: And it was in the NCAA tournament.
- 16:17Speaker 4: And it was because so-and-so didn't like the fans throwing
- 16:20Speaker 4: bottles in Milwaukee or why they didn't kind of, what
- 16:22Speaker 4: was that last year for the tournament? Why they didn't
- 16:24Speaker 4: kind of Milwaukee and everyone was on it about this
- 16:26Speaker 4: one guy that didn't like it. It is, it is.
- 16:28Speaker 2: You're right, Billy. It's very tribal in that sense.
- 16:30Speaker 4: People get to be like very conspiratorial about their own
- 16:34Speaker 4: team and, and stuff. But yeah, to your point, Drew,
- 16:36Speaker 4: that's probably what they want. Engagement farm. I think that's
- 16:39Speaker 4: what they're doing. Get as much conversation as possible. They
- 16:42Speaker 4: take over right now in a lot of spaces. That
- 16:46Speaker 4: would be very 2026 of them. They just need one
- 16:51Speaker 4: Gen Z-er in the back to say, guys, I do
- 16:53Speaker 4: think you need to move a couple of these teams around.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Not good enough rage bait.
- 17:00Speaker 4: This isn't going to trend nearly enough. You guys got
- 17:03Speaker 4: to spice this thing up.
- 17:04Speaker 2: A little bit.
- 17:05Speaker 4: You guys don't know how to go viral on the internet.
- 17:06Speaker 4: How do we throw Utah in at three? Let's really
- 17:09Speaker 4: spice this thing up.
- 17:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm digging that. So, it's been one week, as mentioned.
- 17:14Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Bill Schroeder momentarily. Oh, I
- 17:16Speaker 2: can't wait. Cannot wait.
- 17:18Speaker 4: And I'm wondering, my question would be to you guys
- 17:22Speaker 4: and to everybody out there, have the parade and rally
- 17:26Speaker 4: memories and mental images usurped the baseball highlights in your
- 17:31Speaker 4: montage of, like, glory and as you think about it?
- 17:34Speaker 2: That's a good question, Drew. It's been a week. Celebration
- 17:36Speaker 2: versus actual moments.
- 17:37Speaker 4: But, yeah, the shotgunning of beers and the parade. That's
- 17:41Speaker 4: what I remember now. And I have to think back
- 17:43Speaker 4: because we were having this discussion about your favorite moments
- 17:46Speaker 4: from the run and stuff like that.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Vogelboxinging on stage. It's definitely the algorithm's favorite right now.
- 17:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:52Speaker 2: It's all parade. I'm still getting it. I'm still getting videos.
- 17:55Speaker 2: I'm getting all parade out. And I still watch. I'm
- 17:57Speaker 2: not turning them off. No doubt about it.
- 17:59Speaker 3: Hell no.
- 18:00Speaker 4: And I saw maybe my favorite meme of it yesterday
- 18:03Speaker 4: was a video making fun of it because it's You
- 18:06Speaker 4: spending 20 hours of your day telling your kid to
- 18:09Speaker 4: get off of their phone or to give you back
- 18:11Speaker 4: your phone in case of me. And instead, it's just
- 18:14Speaker 4: me scrolling and watching Sal Freelick dance around the stage
- 18:17Speaker 4: a couple more times.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I keep trying to tell Lena, don't you want
- 18:20Speaker 2: to watch a parade?
- 18:21Speaker 4: Like, instead of Miss Rachel, we can watch a parade.
- 18:23Speaker 4: I can put that parade back on TV. You know,
- 18:26Speaker 4: I still haven't watched the eight hours end-to-end. Well, the
- 18:29Speaker 4: thing about it is, you know, people will talk about, okay,
- 18:31Speaker 4: this is a great baseball market. Look at the ratings.
- 18:33Speaker 4: Look at the people. Look how passionate these fans are.
- 18:36Speaker 4: That's all true. But right behind being a great baseball market,
- 18:39Speaker 4: we're a great... Party market?
- 18:41Speaker 2: I mean, we love the party. We love the gathering.
- 18:43Speaker 2: We love the party.
- 18:44Speaker 4: We embrace that more than anything else. We embrace celebrating
- 18:47Speaker 4: more than anything. We're the city of festivals. I mean,
- 18:49Speaker 4: that's what we do. So I think it is a
- 18:51Speaker 4: wonderful thing. I don't think people want to let go.
- 18:53Speaker 4: This has been the fastest week ever. I don't think
- 18:55Speaker 4: we should let go. In fact, I don't think... This
- 18:59Speaker 4: is my... I don't want, obviously, baseball stoppage lockout. But
- 19:03Speaker 4: if there was any year to do it, this is
- 19:05Speaker 4: the one year I can stomach it more.
- 19:07Speaker 2: You can roll around it.
- 19:08Speaker 4: Because we can roll around that stuff longer. And more importantly,
- 19:11Speaker 4: I can make my proposition for my first hot take
- 19:14Speaker 4: of the day that we should just do a parade
- 19:16Speaker 4: every two weeks.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Just redo it. Rerun the parade. Let's do it again.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Why not?
- 19:22Speaker 2: Why do we have to stop parading?
- 19:24Speaker 1: I want to do it again.
- 19:25Speaker 2: Because Armin. Man, I think it was over so quick.
- 19:27Speaker 2: I'm like, let's do it again.
- 19:28Speaker 4: It would draw 10 people who are wired like you
- 19:30Speaker 4: and everybody else would go about their lives.
- 19:32Speaker 2: We would beat the Valkyries parade today.
- 19:34Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
- 19:34Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 19:36Speaker 4: I like the fact that you were doing exactly what
- 19:38Speaker 4: Murph thought we were doing. Was just going around in
- 19:41Speaker 4: a big circle and seeing the same people again. Run
- 19:42Speaker 4: it back.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Run it back one more time. Or what you dogged
- 19:46Speaker 2: Oklahoma City for potentially wanting to do. They had to.
- 19:48Speaker 2: The city blocks weren't long enough.
- 19:50Speaker 3: I got.
- 19:51Speaker 4: But at least I'm jealous of them. Yesterday, I got
- 19:53Speaker 4: fed like 25 or 30, you know, South Freelike dance
- 19:56Speaker 4: videos and, you know, Robin riding on and Euchre's bike
- 20:00Speaker 4: and stuff like that from the parade.
- 20:02Speaker 2: And then one... montage of uh josh mauer calling the.
- 20:06Speaker 4: Eight run calling the barrage yes yeah and like then
- 20:09Speaker 4: it's like listen to josh mauer describe the hits.
- 20:11Speaker 2: And like and i watched all the hits again i'm like.
- 20:14Speaker 4: But it was like 20 to 1 parade to actual
- 20:16Speaker 4: baseball to parade to baseball and the one that i
- 20:18Speaker 4: saw that still that really stuck with me and i
- 20:21Speaker 4: i think we want more of baseball parade The actual
- 20:25Speaker 4: celebration after, I think as many of the news folks
- 20:28Speaker 4: and the people that were down there, Hunter and company
- 20:31Speaker 4: that were in the locker room, still just digging through
- 20:33Speaker 4: their B-roll. I think it was Carly Murata had a
- 20:36Speaker 4: video of Robin Yount talking to Logan Henderson about all
- 20:39Speaker 4: the people that they had made happy. They had a
- 20:43Speaker 4: minute and 20 seconds of just sheer glory and happiness,
- 20:48Speaker 4: and one got in an unk telling the youngster about
- 20:51Speaker 4: all the people that he just changed their lives for.
- 20:53Speaker 4: It is one of the cooler videos around. I want
- 20:55Speaker 4: more of those, Drew, because those I'll soak up for
- 20:58Speaker 4: as long as possible. Well, for Yount and those guys,
- 21:00Speaker 4: they got some closure. They got some big-time closure. As
- 21:03Speaker 4: happy as Ryan Braun was, like Yount and Molitor and
- 21:06Speaker 4: Simmons and Fingers and those guys who came up short in.
- 21:09Speaker 2: 82, they felt like this validated. Like, okay, now we're... You.
- 21:13Speaker 4: Know, even for Ted Simmons to say it, who did
- 21:15Speaker 4: win one, but to also not have that still fulfillment
- 21:18Speaker 4: because of how close they were with that exact group
- 21:21Speaker 4: in 82. Yeah, I felt it the most from Ted.
- 21:23Speaker 4: And I felt like he felt like most of us did,
- 21:26Speaker 4: that it was... like a history wrong by that team
- 21:29Speaker 4: not winning a world series because they're good enough and
- 21:31Speaker 4: they were a world series winning caliber team that they
- 21:33Speaker 4: should have won and i always was hoping that they
- 21:35Speaker 4: would feel that sort of burden lifted but you don't
- 21:38Speaker 4: really know because it's still not you you know that
- 21:40Speaker 4: never changes that you didn't win that but it really
- 21:43Speaker 4: felt that way when ted was talking about it when
- 21:45Speaker 4: he held up that trophy and he's like you these
- 21:48Speaker 4: guys made us all feel like champions finally wow that
- 21:50Speaker 4: was powerful that was powerful absolutely Bill Schroeder is going
- 21:54Speaker 4: to join us to reminisce the one-week anniversary of the
- 21:56Speaker 4: Brewers wrapping up their World Series championship. Oh, baby. We're
- 22:01Speaker 4: going to talk to Shanna Quinn today.
- 22:03Speaker 2: We've got El Jefe popping in. Let's ride.
- 22:05Speaker 4: We've got some hot takes to hump. Let's get after it.
- 22:08Speaker 4: So Wednesday in the Goodland, you're in the huddle. Fox
- 22:10Speaker 4: Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Monstrous winds are showing up all over Potawatomi.
- 22:28Speaker 4: Drew Billy Harmon celebrating.
- 22:33Speaker 2: That's right. Celebrating today. Still celebrating. I don't know when
- 22:37Speaker 2: it's going to end, but we don't want it to.
- 22:38Speaker 2: The one week anniversary. The Brewers winning the World Series.
- 22:42Speaker 4: And joining us now on the NicoletLaw.com Talking Text Line,
- 22:44Speaker 4: our pal from Brewers TV, Bill Schroeder. Rock, happy anniversary,
- 22:49Speaker 4: my friend.
- 22:50Speaker 3: My goodness, I hope it never ends. I hope it
- 22:53Speaker 3: never ends. This is the most amazing feeling, I'm telling you, sports-wise,
- 22:58Speaker 3: that I've ever had in my entire life. Realizing when
- 23:02Speaker 3: you wake up, and the Brewers have won the World Series.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Sometimes I just don't want to... If I'm dreaming, don't
- 23:09Speaker 3: wake me up. I've said it a hundred times, but
- 23:11Speaker 3: this is incredible. I never thought I'd see it happen,
- 23:14Speaker 3: but here we are.
- 23:17Speaker 4: That phrase right there, Rock, I think there's a lot
- 23:19Speaker 4: of us Wisconsinites that are saying the same thing. I
- 23:21Speaker 4: hate to admit it, but I think a lot of
- 23:24Speaker 4: us thought that we never would see it happen. To
- 23:27Speaker 4: feel it in the realization as you're rolling through the
- 23:30Speaker 4: streets and the celebration is on and the parade is
- 23:33Speaker 4: rolling through. How amazing was it and how meaningful was
- 23:36Speaker 4: it for the stops and the celebration right around this?
- 23:40Speaker 4: yukes memorial and the the mural because it was a
- 23:43Speaker 4: phenomenal moment as so many of the news cameras captured everybody.
- 23:48Speaker 3: Crossing by there It didn't surprise me the way the
- 23:51Speaker 3: Brewers fans had come out all season long, the way
- 23:54Speaker 3: they filled the trop in Tampa Bay. It was unbelievable
- 23:58Speaker 3: the number of Brewer fans that were in that ballpark,
- 24:00Speaker 3: particularly on that final game. It seemed like it was
- 24:04Speaker 3: all Brewers fans. Of course, the Tampa Bay Rays didn't
- 24:06Speaker 3: have much to celebrate, didn't have much to cheer about.
- 24:10Speaker 3: During that game, but I tell you, you know, when
- 24:13Speaker 3: you made the stop when we were in that parade
- 24:16Speaker 3: and you're at the Euchre Memorial, or Euchre... Mural, yeah. Mural, yeah, mural. And,
- 24:23Speaker 3: you know, you had that parking structure that was right
- 24:25Speaker 3: across the street, and there were, like, thousands of people
- 24:27Speaker 3: hanging over the wall. and just waving and cheering and,
- 24:31Speaker 3: you know, let's go Brewers and all that. It's unbelievable.
- 24:35Speaker 3: It was mind-boggling. It really made you stop and realize
- 24:38Speaker 3: how important a World Series victory was to the people
- 24:42Speaker 3: in Milwaukee, the people in Wisconsin, Brewers fans all over
- 24:45Speaker 3: the place. I had no less than 150 text messages
- 24:48Speaker 3: over the last week from people I haven't heard from
- 24:51Speaker 3: in years. and just congratulating us and congratulating the brewers,
- 24:57Speaker 3: and they were pulling for the brewers and all this
- 24:59Speaker 3: kind of stuff. So it's been an amazing time. I
- 25:02Speaker 3: hope the celebration never ends. I hope the drinks stop
- 25:06Speaker 3: at some point. I hope the celebration continues without the alcohol.
- 25:14Speaker 3: My goodness.
- 25:14Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point.
- 25:16Speaker 3: I haven't bought a drink in Wisconsin in a week.
- 25:20Speaker 2: That's amazing. It better not stop. It better not stop.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Let me know where those free ones are.
- 25:24Speaker 4: You know what's amazing, too, is, you know, winning a
- 25:27Speaker 4: World Series is a dream come true. It's never happened.
- 25:30Speaker 4: We waited for it. But also, it was the acclimation
- 25:33Speaker 4: of a really dominant, great team. It wasn't, you know,
- 25:35Speaker 4: it would have still been great if this was an
- 25:37Speaker 4: 88-win team that got hot and made a run in
- 25:39Speaker 4: the playoffs and things fell their way.
- 25:41Speaker 2: You know, it'd still feel great to win the World Series.
- 25:43Speaker 4: But to do it with this team, a dominant team,
- 25:45Speaker 4: the best team wire to wire all year, and.
- 25:48Speaker 2: The way they dominated the playoffs rocked. I think that
- 25:50Speaker 2: is one of the most fulfilling things.
- 25:52Speaker 3: Yeah. 11 and two in the playoffs, one of the
- 25:55Speaker 3: best playoff runs, you know, when you have, you know,
- 25:57Speaker 3: all the rounds in the playoffs and they didn't even
- 25:59Speaker 3: go through the, uh, the wildcard round. And so 11
- 26:03Speaker 3: and two is not a bad run through some pretty
- 26:05Speaker 3: good teams. You know, you beat, you beat some of
- 26:07Speaker 3: the top teams, you know, in baseball, you know, uh,
- 26:11Speaker 3: and you know, the sweat, the Dodgers nearly swept Tampa and, uh,
- 26:14Speaker 3: you know, San Diego was running pretty hot when they
- 26:18Speaker 3: got into the playoffs. So, uh, 103 wins, then he
- 26:21Speaker 3: had 11. How many is that? 120, 114, something like that?
- 26:27Speaker 3: That's an amazing season. I think that my math skills
- 26:31Speaker 3: have gone awry a little bit here.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Well, that's all right. Talking to Bill Schroeder, Brewers TV here.
- 26:35Speaker 4: All right, Rock, when I saw you and Kate in
- 26:38Speaker 4: the car and everybody's cheering for you and stuff, and
- 26:40Speaker 4: I had friends that took video of you guys and
- 26:43Speaker 4: waving to you and stuff, I'm thinking, does that allow
- 26:46Speaker 4: you to maybe leave your ice cream bowl in the
- 26:49Speaker 4: sink instead of putting it in the dishwasher? Maybe leave
- 26:52Speaker 4: a dirty towel on the bathroom floor and not get
- 26:54Speaker 4: yelled at that Kate got to share in that.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Ride with you? Does that buy you any goodwill whatsoever?
- 26:58Speaker 4: Because it has to be the highlight of everybody's marriage
- 27:01Speaker 4: or life.
- 27:02Speaker 3: No goodwill on that. It would have been worse had
- 27:05Speaker 3: she not been in the car. Just kidding, just kidding.
- 27:11Speaker 3: It was funny, because we were at the Baird Center,
- 27:12Speaker 3: and I'm getting in the car, and then Kate says, well,
- 27:14Speaker 3: how am I going to get down to the Summerfest grounds?
- 27:17Speaker 3: And Tyler Barnes is standing there and says, well, just
- 27:20Speaker 3: have Kate jump in the front seat with you. So
- 27:22Speaker 3: there you go. It wasn't even planned out. It just
- 27:24Speaker 3: happened organically, and that's probably the best way it could
- 27:27Speaker 3: have happened. So I kind of took Tyler to the
- 27:30Speaker 3: side and said, make sure you tell Kate that I
- 27:32Speaker 3: asked about her getting in the car with me. That's it.
- 27:37Speaker 3: So I still have to pick up my dirty towels
- 27:40Speaker 3: off the bathroom floor.
- 27:41Speaker 4: I was going to say, she posted a picture right after.
- 27:44Speaker 4: Just so he knows, he's still got to go get
- 27:45Speaker 4: the Christmas tree down from upstairs.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:49Speaker 4: That sounds like Tyler's got to be getting himself a
- 27:51Speaker 4: nice Omaha steak box or something.
- 27:54Speaker 2: He just upgraded himself on the Christmas list after that one.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I owe him some dinner. I think
- 27:58Speaker 3: I owe him some dinner. I'll tell you, the Brewers
- 28:01Speaker 3: did a magnificent job with that day, with the parade
- 28:05Speaker 3: and the way they put on that rally. I mean,
- 28:09Speaker 3: 18,000 people in there, and I thought the rally went
- 28:11Speaker 3: extremely well. B.A. did a great job. And I'll tell you,
- 28:14Speaker 3: some of those players, they stole the show. How about Bowers?
- 28:17Speaker 3: He was great. And then Frelick. I don't know where
- 28:20Speaker 3: he is in his 100,000 beers that he's got to drink,
- 28:23Speaker 3: but if he's getting close, I'm not too far behind, actually.
- 28:27Speaker 2: You're probably right.
- 28:28Speaker 4: He's going to be in a danger zone, Drew. Every
- 28:30Speaker 4: time he goes out for a breakfast or a coffee,
- 28:32Speaker 4: people are.
- 28:32Speaker 3: Going to be giving him.
- 28:35Speaker 2: They eat breakfast and.
- 28:35Speaker 3: People are handing them beers. He's going to have to
- 28:38Speaker 3: have a cooler strapped to his arm back to his
- 28:40Speaker 3: back because people are going to expect him. When you
- 28:43Speaker 3: say something in Wisconsin, you better hold to it.
- 28:45Speaker 2: Yeah, you better hold up.
- 28:46Speaker 4: Rock, what did it mean for you to share that
- 28:49Speaker 4: with Robin and Pauly and the guys you play with
- 28:51Speaker 4: and Simmons and Fingers to have those guys around and
- 28:54Speaker 4: let them share in that? I thought that was one
- 28:56Speaker 4: of the cooler things of the ceremony, the kind of link,
- 28:59Speaker 4: the bridge to the past that 82 teams have been
- 29:00Speaker 4: celebrating for so many years. Now we got this 26 group.
- 29:04Speaker 4: but they were involved in part of it. What was
- 29:05Speaker 4: it like for you to share that with them?
- 29:09Speaker 3: Those Hall of Famers showing up and, you know, I
- 29:11Speaker 3: was able to play with each and every one of
- 29:13Speaker 3: those guys. And, you know, I mean, their comments up
- 29:16Speaker 3: on that stage were incredible. Raleigh talking about a, you know,
- 29:19Speaker 3: a bullpen. I'm not going to be able to, you know,
- 29:21Speaker 3: use the words he did, but, you know, a kick-butt bullpen.
- 29:25Speaker 3: And that's exactly what they had talking about a kick-butt reliever, right?
- 29:29Speaker 3: Raleigh Fingers. If anybody knows about that, you know, that's him.
- 29:32Speaker 3: All the three of those guys all said the right things.
- 29:35Speaker 3: They were saying good things about Murph, the organization, I mean,
- 29:38Speaker 3: they're all class acts. And four guys did a great
- 29:42Speaker 3: job up there. So the best part of it for
- 29:45Speaker 3: me was at the Baird Center when we were getting
- 29:47Speaker 3: ready to get the parade going, they had a breakfast
- 29:50Speaker 3: for us. And I was able to sit with Kate. and,
- 29:53Speaker 3: you know, BA and the four Hall of Famers there.
- 29:56Speaker 3: And we had a chance to, like, reminisce and chat
- 29:59Speaker 3: and things like that. Those are the most important times
- 30:03Speaker 3: for me, those personal times when you have with those guys.
- 30:07Speaker 3: And you're really able to reconnect They all taught me
- 30:13Speaker 3: so much about the game of baseball and the game
- 30:16Speaker 3: of life, for that matter, and enjoying the good times.
- 30:18Speaker 3: Because when you have bad times, it makes the good
- 30:22Speaker 3: times even better. And those are some of the lessons
- 30:26Speaker 3: that those guys have taught me over the years.
- 30:28Speaker 4: We were just remarking, Rock, about how— and you played, obviously,
- 30:32Speaker 4: with Robin and Paul and these guys— How it really
- 30:35Speaker 4: felt like Ted Simmons. It was cathartic for him. And
- 30:38Speaker 4: hearing him talk about it was just fantastic. I love
- 30:40Speaker 4: hearing Ted talk and, and the way he said that
- 30:43Speaker 4: this team made him feel like a champion.
- 30:45Speaker 2: And that was fantastic.
- 30:47Speaker 3: Nobody's more cerebral about the game of baseball than Ted Simmons.
- 30:50Speaker 3: He taught me so much when I played for a
- 30:53Speaker 3: short period of time with him, with the Brewers. You know,
- 30:55Speaker 3: he was a bench coach with Ned for a year
- 30:58Speaker 3: or two. And, you know, he really thinks the game
- 31:02Speaker 3: at a different level. It's a chess game for Simba.
- 31:05Speaker 3: Not just offensively, but setting up hitters and the way
- 31:09Speaker 3: you navigate through innings and things like that. He taught
- 31:12Speaker 3: me so much about all those types of things. Sometimes
- 31:17Speaker 3: he was way ahead of his time. He was into
- 31:20Speaker 3: the metrics long before metrics were even a thing because
- 31:24Speaker 3: that's the way he thought about the game.
- 31:27Speaker 4: I had forgotten that he and Murph worked together when
- 31:31Speaker 4: Ted was in the front office with San Diego, when
- 31:33Speaker 4: Murph was in their organization managing.
- 31:35Speaker 2: I'd forgotten that.
- 31:35Speaker 3: They were together back then. A lot of respect, a
- 31:39Speaker 3: lot of respect going back and forth. And we saw
- 31:41Speaker 3: that when we were at the Baird Center getting ready
- 31:43Speaker 3: for that parade. And they had a nice long chat
- 31:46Speaker 3: and they have a lot of respect for each other.
- 31:49Speaker 3: I have a lot of respect for everybody who was
- 31:51Speaker 3: involved in this whole thing. I think the Brewers really
- 31:54Speaker 3: stepped it up. I mean, in Tampa Bay, they had
- 31:57Speaker 3: like 350 employees of the Brewers. They flew them all down.
- 32:02Speaker 3: There was like five jets that went down. There were
- 32:05Speaker 3: a bunch of buses. There were hotels. They spent a
- 32:07Speaker 3: lot of money making sure this whole organization felt a
- 32:11Speaker 3: big part of this World Series adventure. And I tell you,
- 32:13Speaker 3: I can't thank them enough for that.
- 32:15Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what the rings look like. Yeah.
- 32:18Speaker 2: It's going to be wild.
- 32:21Speaker 3: Well, if history stands, Pat, baseball TV broadcasters get rings.
- 32:27Speaker 3: So I am praying, hoping and praying I'm still on
- 32:30Speaker 3: that list. Oh, baby. Yeah, you will.
- 32:32Speaker 2: There's no doubt.
- 32:33Speaker 4: And there will be no phishing scam email coming like
- 32:36Speaker 4: there was on the NBA. championship absolute ridiculous rock when
- 32:42Speaker 4: you see it and you talk about the appreciation how
- 32:45Speaker 4: are the how do the young.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Guys appreciate fully what they just went through.
- 32:48Speaker 4: Like cooper pratt he said it's been a nice four
- 32:50Speaker 4: months it's gonna be a nice eight years watching that
- 32:53Speaker 4: kid play and grow but him and cheerio 22 years
- 32:56Speaker 4: old how can they fully appreciate just what they were.
- 32:58Speaker 3: Able to accomplish I think that Murph, I think that Yelich,
- 33:03Speaker 3: I think that Woodruff, I think a lot of the
- 33:05Speaker 3: veteran guys made them understand you better enjoy this because
- 33:09Speaker 3: this is not as easy as it looks to you.
- 33:11Speaker 3: A lot of us have been toiling a long time.
- 33:14Speaker 3: These Brewer fans have been waiting 44 years for a
- 33:18Speaker 3: playoff run. Uh, and don't take this for granted. This
- 33:22Speaker 3: is not something that's going to happen every single year. So, uh,
- 33:25Speaker 3: understand that this is a, this is a special time.
- 33:28Speaker 3: You know, you don't pick the playoff, the playoffs pick
- 33:31Speaker 3: you and more importantly, world series victories. pick you. And
- 33:35Speaker 3: they earned every bit of it. And they dominated. They
- 33:39Speaker 3: showed all season long who the best team in baseball was.
- 33:42Speaker 3: And they proved it in the postseason. You know, that's
- 33:44Speaker 3: the one thing I was hearing all season long going
- 33:47Speaker 3: into September. Yeah, they're good now, but what's going to
- 33:50Speaker 3: happen in the playoffs? Well, they proved They're the best
- 33:52Speaker 3: team in the playoffs this year. I think a lot
- 33:55Speaker 3: of people would have been very disappointed had they been
- 33:57Speaker 3: knocked out of the playoffs by the Dodgers again and said, well,
- 34:00Speaker 3: here we go again. Well, they knocked that down very quickly.
- 34:03Speaker 3: They swept the Dodgers, went in, and they took four
- 34:07Speaker 3: out of five against the Tampa Bay Rays. They proved
- 34:09Speaker 3: to all the doubters that they're good, but they also
- 34:12Speaker 3: showed all the people that believed in them that there's
- 34:15Speaker 3: a reason why you believed in us and we believe
- 34:18Speaker 3: in you.
- 34:19Speaker 4: On the way out here, Rock, what was, I mean,
- 34:21Speaker 4: I know we were just talking about how the images,
- 34:23Speaker 4: the visual images, the memories of the parade and the
- 34:26Speaker 4: rally have kind of like taken some of the bandwidth
- 34:28Speaker 4: away from the on the field between the lines stuff.
- 34:31Speaker 2: All I can see.
- 34:31Speaker 4: What was for you, when you look back and think
- 34:35Speaker 4: of your top two or three moments from the games
- 34:37Speaker 4: themselves in this postseason, what are the moments that are
- 34:40Speaker 4: going to stand out to you?
- 34:42Speaker 3: Well, you know, the Cheerio at-bats and, you know, the
- 34:44Speaker 3: Jake Bauer at-bats in L.A. and those types of things.
- 34:48Speaker 3: And the amazing work that Aaron Ashby did, you know,
- 34:52Speaker 3: in the playoffs. I mean, he set a record for
- 34:54Speaker 3: the most scoreless innings. What was it, 16 or something
- 34:57Speaker 3: like that? 16, 19? I forget what it was. But unbelievable, unbelievable,
- 35:03Speaker 3: you know. And all these young kids. And how about
- 35:05Speaker 3: Cooper Pratt in Tampa? This young kid. He's barely old
- 35:08Speaker 3: enough to drink. He's dominating. He had five hits in
- 35:13Speaker 3: a row at one point or something. these guys look
- 35:19Speaker 3: at a very young age and it gives you a
- 35:21Speaker 3: hope for the future. I mean, I know the Brewers
- 35:23Speaker 3: need to figure out a few things with Bowers and Terang.
- 35:27Speaker 3: And I know they offered Bowers a contract and Contreras
- 35:32Speaker 3: and those guys. But I think the future is bright
- 35:35Speaker 3: for this organization because they're so young. And Matt Arnold,
- 35:38Speaker 3: I'm telling you, this guy knows what he's doing. He
- 35:40Speaker 3: does not make mistakes when he makes moves.
- 35:43Speaker 4: Yeah, the people are very important. Murph always talks about
- 35:46Speaker 4: it being the most important. Rock, as somebody that's been
- 35:48Speaker 4: around the game forever and has seen a lot of
- 35:52Speaker 4: iterations of it, I got to think you can appreciate
- 35:55Speaker 4: the rally heater story that's coming out about this year's
- 35:58Speaker 4: team from Jeff Passan of, you know, ripping a heater
- 36:01Speaker 4: so you can rip the heater during the game. I'm
- 36:04Speaker 4: not going to ask you to rat anybody out or
- 36:06Speaker 4: sell anything out, but how long and how early on
- 36:09Speaker 4: in your baseball career life did you find a tobacco
- 36:13Speaker 4: sacrifice because if the others always won whether it's the
- 36:16Speaker 4: but whether it's the big league chew over the top
- 36:19Speaker 4: of the red man back in the day this uh
- 36:21Speaker 4: this relationship with tobacco and uh in baseball.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Go back a long way.
- 36:26Speaker 3: I started with the skull packages, those pouches. I was
- 36:32Speaker 3: back in college. I was a Copenhagen snuff guy in baseball,
- 36:38Speaker 3: but I couldn't do it while I was catching. I
- 36:40Speaker 3: was afraid I'd get a foul tip and end up
- 36:43Speaker 3: swallowing it. That didn't last very long. I was never
- 36:47Speaker 3: a big smoker. Every now and again, back in the day,
- 36:50Speaker 3: it was cool. That didn't last long either, but... You know,
- 36:54Speaker 3: I find that, you know, that kind of stuff is
- 36:57Speaker 3: going by the wayside. I know some ballparks in baseball,
- 37:01Speaker 3: it's against the law to do it. You can't even dip.
- 37:03Speaker 3: I think it's San Diego, isn't it? They're not allowed
- 37:05Speaker 3: to do that in San Diego. I think that's where
- 37:07Speaker 3: it was, I believe. But anyway, you know, I was
- 37:10Speaker 3: never a believer in, I was a believer in good
- 37:14Speaker 3: luck stirrup socks, good luck t-shirts. If I had a
- 37:18Speaker 3: good game, I wouldn't watch them. Of course, good for
- 37:23Speaker 3: the rest of my teammates. I didn't have too many
- 37:25Speaker 3: good games, so I haven't watched a lot. Anyway, I
- 37:29Speaker 3: wasn't a big believer in the good luck. sniff snuff
- 37:32Speaker 3: or chew or you know good luck beers or things
- 37:36Speaker 3: like that.
- 37:37Speaker 4: It'd only be bad for the umpire that had to
- 37:39Speaker 4: sit back there i got it from our pal johnny
- 37:41Speaker 4: adam when he was the assistant trainer in the early
- 37:43Speaker 4: 80s told me his job was to make sure there
- 37:45Speaker 4: were two packs of marble reds and a book of
- 37:47Speaker 4: matches on the back of the bench right near harvey
- 37:50Speaker 4: and there were certain teammates of yours rock who if
- 37:52Speaker 4: they had to score from second on a hit they
- 37:54Speaker 4: would go right up the tunnel and have a heater
- 37:55Speaker 4: right away.
- 37:58Speaker 3: That's the way they got the air back in their lungs.
- 38:01Speaker 2: That's right.
- 38:02Speaker 3: And I know that that's... Back in the day, that
- 38:04Speaker 3: was something.
- 38:04Speaker 4: I like that the tradition is alive a little bit,
- 38:06Speaker 4: that these guys were smoking heaters in the cage before games. Hey,
- 38:10Speaker 4: we've heard of, like, the Red Sox teams that won
- 38:12Speaker 4: World Series would do a rally shot, you know, before
- 38:14Speaker 4: games or during games. We watched the cappuccino thing. Is
- 38:18Speaker 4: there the espresso thing with the WBC? You just got
- 38:20Speaker 4: to get a little heat in you. Got to get
- 38:21Speaker 4: a little juice in you.
- 38:23Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, guys. You want to have a
- 38:24Speaker 3: hilarious show one day, you put Johnny Adam on and
- 38:26Speaker 3: have him tell stories. I mean, that guy is the
- 38:30Speaker 3: funniest human being that has ever been born. And all
- 38:33Speaker 3: of his stories, all of his stories are absolutely true.
- 38:36Speaker 3: And he will have you laughing until you cry.
- 38:39Speaker 4: He's a dangerous combination because he was there for all
- 38:42Speaker 4: of it.
- 38:42Speaker 2: He has an incredible memory. And he's the funniest guy
- 38:45Speaker 2: in the world. It's a dangerous combination.
- 38:48Speaker 3: And he helped us with the book, I remember. Yeah.
- 38:51Speaker 2: Oh, no doubt.
- 38:52Speaker 3: A lot of those stories. A lot of the stories
- 38:55Speaker 3: in there, we were reminded of from him.
- 38:59Speaker 2: No question. No question.
- 39:00Speaker 4: Rock, enjoy yourself, my friend. We're still on cloud 11,
- 39:03Speaker 4: I think, because it just.
- 39:04Speaker 3: Hasn't ended yet. I hope it never goes away, guys.
- 39:08Speaker 3: And I really had a good time with you guys
- 39:10Speaker 3: this year. Thank you so much for going to the afternoon.
- 39:12Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to next year. You bet, brother. You bet.
- 39:16Speaker 2: We can't wait. We'll talk to you soon, buddy.
- 39:18Speaker 3: All right. Thanks, guys. You bet.
- 39:20Speaker 4: Bill Schroeder, Brewers TV, friend of the program right here
- 39:23Speaker 4: in the huddle, only appearing on the huddle.
- 39:26Speaker 2: What an epic, epic run.
- 39:27Speaker 4: Dude, you can just hear the excitement and the emotion.
- 39:30Speaker 4: and the happiness in his voice.
- 39:31Speaker 3: So happy.
- 39:32Speaker 2: That is just a beautiful, beautiful thing.
- 39:35Speaker 4: And, you know, they won it for a lot of folks,
- 39:36Speaker 4: and I'm glad that he gets to celebrate that. He
- 39:39Speaker 4: better not worry. He's just got to worry about fitting
- 39:42Speaker 4: that ring. Got to make sure that we know that size, Rock,
- 39:45Speaker 4: because they're going to slap that bad boy on. That's
- 39:47Speaker 4: going to be awesome. Spectacular. Going to be spectacular.
- 39:50Speaker 2: All right, Shanna Quinn is going to join us today
- 39:51Speaker 2: after 4 o'clock.
- 39:53Speaker 4: El Jefe, John Greenberg, who also has an affiliation with
- 39:56Speaker 4: those Brewers teams from back in the day.
- 39:58Speaker 2: He saw a lot of things as a bad boy.
- 39:59Speaker 4: I was going to say, he might have known a
- 40:02Speaker 4: rally heater or two. He knows, absolutely. He's going to
- 40:05Speaker 4: join us on the back end of the program. In
- 40:07Speaker 4: the meantime, hot take, hump days upon us.
- 40:09Speaker 2: Get them to us, 877-794-1973. You're in the huddle, Fox
- 40:10Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 40:19Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers try to win their second.
- 40:37Speaker 2: It's the one-week anniversary of the Brewers winning the title.
- 40:40Speaker 4: Micah Parsons is back on the practice field for the
- 40:42Speaker 4: Green Bay Packers.
- 40:43Speaker 2: Individual work to start, and then we'll see. Thank goodness.
- 40:47Speaker 4: Looking like cleared for liftoff the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, perhaps.
- 40:51Speaker 2: The game at SoFi against the Rams.
- 40:53Speaker 4: Which should be a heck of a game to get
- 40:55Speaker 4: him out there for. You got to be able to
- 40:57Speaker 4: pressure Matthew Stafford. You got to be able to get there.
- 41:00Speaker 4: And it just might be when Miles Garrett is returning.
- 41:02Speaker 4: Netflix would love that, as the Packers are, Drew. The
- 41:06Speaker 4: streamers team. The streamer's team. Two Amazon games this year.
- 41:12Speaker 4: Two Netflix games this year. They are the streamer's team.
- 41:16Speaker 4: Everybody loves to be able to see them streaming live.
- 41:18Speaker 2: I like it. Bucks at the Garden tonight. That should
- 41:21Speaker 2: be fun. No Jason Tatum. Oh, come on now.
- 41:24Speaker 4: Let's go get that second win of the year. Is
- 41:26Speaker 4: that what you're telling me? I think he's on a
- 41:28Speaker 4: rest day or something. If teams do this against us,
- 41:31Speaker 4: I think we get a chance to.
- 41:32Speaker 2: Make that over of 25.
- 41:33Speaker 4: I know the bucks have started slow in the wins column,
- 41:36Speaker 4: but if teams are looking at us like the rest night,
- 41:38Speaker 4: you know, like the load.
- 41:39Speaker 2: Management night, there's going to be a few teams doing that.
- 41:41Speaker 4: We got a shot at this thing. I mean, you know,
- 41:43Speaker 4: when I say at this thing, I mean, getting 26 wins. Well,
- 41:46Speaker 4: they've already lowered it at the Pottawatomie Sportsbook to 23
- 41:49Speaker 4: and a half.
- 41:49Speaker 3: Oh, really? Okay. All right.
- 41:50Speaker 4: Well, if you waited, you might get a chance for
- 41:52Speaker 4: some value here. But you got to believe in your
- 41:54Speaker 4: team a little bit. You have something to shoot for.
- 41:56Speaker 4: You know, it's going to be a year of transition
- 41:58Speaker 4: for the Bucs, but I think they hang in there
- 42:00Speaker 4: tonight against the Celtics.
- 42:01Speaker 2: They did it against the Wolves. Let's see if they
- 42:03Speaker 2: can get a dub.
- 42:04Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe.
- 42:04Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe.
- 42:06Speaker 4: Listen, they're still looking for that elusive first road win,
- 42:10Speaker 4: which could definitely come tonight. I like that they've at
- 42:13Speaker 4: least put up 100 in every single game that they've
- 42:15Speaker 4: played here this year.
- 42:15Speaker 2: They haven't gotten.
- 42:16Speaker 4: Completely blown out or, you know, they haven't been hanging
- 42:19Speaker 4: in games.
- 42:20Speaker 2: Celtics are favored by 11 and a half. Well, a couple, yes.
- 42:22Speaker 2: I was going to say there's a 132-100 in there.
- 42:26Speaker 2: Back in blown out. Expectations are adjusted this year. That's
- 42:30Speaker 2: all I'm saying.
- 42:30Speaker 3: That's fair.
- 42:31Speaker 2: No, listen, we're pulling for him tonight. 11 and a half,
- 42:34Speaker 2: you said?
- 42:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 42:35Speaker 2: Okay, okay.
- 42:37Speaker 4: I would have guessed about 13 or 14. Probably with
- 42:39Speaker 4: the Tatum news goes down a little bit. Man, the
- 42:42Speaker 4: Celtics are explosive. They're the team, Drew, that everybody forgot
- 42:45Speaker 4: about last year because their postseason was so bad.
- 42:47Speaker 2: That's true.
- 42:49Speaker 4: You kind of forget how good and how much of
- 42:51Speaker 4: a wagon they were during the regular season. And if
- 42:55Speaker 4: you don't like watching teams shoot threes, don't watch here tonight.
- 42:57Speaker 4: Because Boston is going to shoot... A ton of them.
- 43:02Speaker 4: Paul George still knocking them down after his first game, Armin?
- 43:05Speaker 2: You know what?
- 43:05Speaker 4: I haven't checked his game log, but he was hot
- 43:07Speaker 4: for them. There's no question about it. He went crazy
- 43:10Speaker 4: on that. He was questionable with a shoulder. That's another
- 43:13Speaker 4: one to be helpful for. The Caitlin Clark of the NBA,
- 43:16Speaker 4: according to Reggie Miller. Oh, my.
- 43:19Speaker 2: Yeah, that gives us something to watch. Cause you need something.
- 43:24Speaker 4: Otherwise I'm just going to keep this MLB network on
- 43:27Speaker 4: where it's just rolling through every single game of the
- 43:29Speaker 4: Brewers playoff run, which.
- 43:30Speaker 2: I'm not going to be upset about.
- 43:32Speaker 4: I'm not going to turn that down, but it's just,
- 43:35Speaker 4: it's some point I do want to be able to, like,
- 43:38Speaker 4: I can, I see now every angle of Jake Bowers,
- 43:42Speaker 4: bad flip in LA.
- 43:43Speaker 2: I think I need a little something more.
- 43:45Speaker 4: I was watching Maddie and, uh, Matty B and Harold
- 43:49Speaker 4: today were talking about brewers and how they're set up
- 43:51Speaker 4: for future years. It was just so much fun having
- 43:55Speaker 4: your team be the topic of discussion.
- 43:57Speaker 3: The toast of the town.
- 43:58Speaker 2: It is nice having everybody want to talk about your
- 44:00Speaker 2: team a lot more. Sal was on Barstool. There's content
- 44:02Speaker 2: coming through.
- 44:03Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
