10/021/26 - Hour 1 · The Huddle

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Back with you.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It is the huddle on Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. I'm
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Bill Schmidt alongside Armin Sarian. It is a drewless Wednesday
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: on a World Series Wednesday as we get ready for
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: game one.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: First pitch.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Just after 7 o'clock, 7.08 to be exact, on Friday evening.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: But we need all our boys rested, rejuvenated. A little
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: vocal maintenance, a little gastro intro maintenance. Make sure everything is.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Ready to roll.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Rock the rivers and shake the lakes coming up this weekend.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: It is a massive weekend that everybody needs to be
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: rested and rejuvenated for. So we are going to carry
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the load here today as the most important days... in
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: this town's baseball lore for the last 40-plus years happens
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: in one week. Armin Sarian's got the Brewers shirt on.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing a Brewers shirt underneath the Brewers sweatshirt, which
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: is then underneath a Brewers jacket. As he is bombered
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: out in the studio here today, ready to roll with
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you on the huddle.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Because, you know, I.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I love my layers, Billy, and I'm trying to convince myself. Now,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: you know, sometimes I run a little colder by nature,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: like sometimes, but I'll admit it's really not that cold
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: in here. I probably don't need the jacket, but it's
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: one of those things where it's like you try and
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: convince yourself it's the right climate for the brand new
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: clothes you got, like to go to school or like
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: your favorite thing, like. You want to show off, show out.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I just feel like I want to be wearing as
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: much Brewers stuff this week as possible. So I've got
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the Brewers jacket on. Don't think I really need it
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: in here, but hey, why not?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: We're going to rock it. We're going to represent. I mean,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: this is it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: This is the moment that we've been waiting for for
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: a generation.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: This is the time we've been waiting for for a generation.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: It's 50, you know, three hours away, right, from first pitch.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: And we're getting closer and closer as the Brewers– The
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: excitement continues. The Brewers have announced that tomorrow they're putting
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: the tickets up for public sale for game three and
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: four for the watch party at American Family Field.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And season ticket holders can get them today.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I'd imagine that's going to be another exciting hot ticket,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: probably the closest some people can get to a World
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Series game. But, hey, it might feel just as good.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, the game's on the field, but the atmosphere,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the atmosphere will be live. And I'm interested to see
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: just how many end up going with a little bit
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: of a runway.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: What was it?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Twelve hours of lead time before they sold 15 or
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: 18000 for game five. Or game four, I should say,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: of the NLCS. I anticipate it to be a pretty
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: raucous crowd on Monday and Tuesday. And then I expect
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: there to be one on Wednesday. This is where settling
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: in and consuming as much conversation about this series as
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: we are. The Brewers haven't had to stretch out. More importantly,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: us fans haven't had to stretch our patience muscle. throughout
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a seven game series.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Quite yet.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: You win the first, you win both in four, you
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: win two sprints. I anticipate this to be a knockout
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: drag out series in a set that you're not just
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: going to gentlemen's in five, even though I didn't anticipate
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and looking back on it, maybe what happened in the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: NLCS could have been a little bit more foreseen. Maybe
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: we should have seen it coming a little bit more
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: of a wounded Dodger team that was ready to be
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: taken out back and finished off by the crew. This hungry,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: pesky Rays team, I don't think is going to go
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: in and go down without a fight. And I think
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: this is in, and we are going to be in
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: for a knockout, drag it out series. And I think
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: that that thing is going to get pushed out to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the limits. And for those that are already wondering if
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: they're game six or seven tickets, hopefully not seven. Hopefully
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: this doesn't become the 40, Second seven game seven in
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: World Series history that we see.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: But Armin, I do anticipate that it's coming back here
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and I anticipate it to be a slugfest of a series.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: One that while many won't maybe put it down in
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the lore, I think it's going to be one of
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the more competitive ones we've seen over the last couple
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: of years.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I think it'll be a good one, too.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I think there's no question that this is the best
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: team in the American League all year. So we're getting
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the American League's best. It was a down year for them,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the league, but not for the race. They were a
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: really good team. I think them and the Yankees were
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the two best teams in the American League. So we're
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: getting the best of that league. I would still say
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: the most optimistic of us would have ever said, well,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: we should have expected a sweep in the Dodger series.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: But the reality is, yeah, I think maybe they were
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: showing those signs in that sense a little bit. But no,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I think this will be, in that sense, a war
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: of attrition. It'd be a little more.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Battling in terms of length here. Not that the LCS
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: games weren't battled, but the series length. It'll go longer.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Look, it'd be great if we could waltz home and
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: get another dominant, you know, like no pressure coronation of
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: a champion.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I don't expect it to be that easy. No, this
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: is a really good race team. They're gritty. They're there.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: They have a lot of similarities with the Brewers, as
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: you we've talked about a little bit, not exactly the same,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: but a lot of similarities.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: And it should be a very tough series. Very good series.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't. Yeah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: To your to your point, will it go seven? I
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: hope it doesn't because I hope we win earlier. But
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I do think it would be quite a moment to
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: win that game. The ceremony is to win that game. Obviously,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: you get to that point.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Anything can happen.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Halloween night in the city of Milwaukee in the state
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of Wisconsin be remembered forever. But whenever it would happen
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: or hopefully does, it will be either way. But to
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: the point, you see how the Rays have gotten here.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: You see how the Brewers have gotten here to somewhat.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Stark different paths, right? I mean, the Rays have been
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: able to ride Peralta and Rasmussen. They're starting pitching as
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: long as the wheels will fall off. The Brewers, what
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Robert Gasser's five innings in game three, I believe is
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the longest start that they have in the postseason. So
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: for the bullpen of the crew to be able to
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: last through a seven game series, six gamer that the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Rays just went through, you would hope. A little regression
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to the mean, the thought would be that one of
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: their horses would be due to get tagged early. And
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: if the Brewers are able to put together and string
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: a couple of Jake Powers at bats together and chase
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: one of those guys early like they did Yamamoto, it
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: would be a much different, much, much different series because
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: those two are their horses. And as much as Baker
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in the back end.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Is phenomenal.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know their middle relief being able to play
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: seven games of take your starter out in the middle
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: of the fifth or sixth. I don't know that they're
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: built to be able to withstand that type of series.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: much like the Brewers.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I totally agree. On paper, it seems that way.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you look at this as a battle
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: of attrition, if you can wear them down, get to
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: that soft underbelly, which is probably their middle relief. Not
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: that they don't have some good relievers, but that's not
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: their strength as it is for the Brewers.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I think the Brewers are better equipped.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Their plan is maybe get one reliever in their hand
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: to Baker and let him be an absolute horse in
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the back end.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: That's what they want.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: And the key for the Brewers is going to be
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: to get to their starters as early as possible. They've
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: been as good as anybody else. in baseball this year
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: to try and exert the most energy and pitches out
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: of starters against them as anyone else. We saw what
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: they did to Yamamoto. That was a magnum opus in
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: that sense of that style. It really felt like it.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to do. And the Rays have
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: relied on strength of two starters going as deep as possible,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: more than any other team in this playoffs, partly because
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Freddie has been so good and Rasmussen as well.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, That's going to be the.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Goal for the Brewers. Will they stay hot? I mean,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: those two guys have been very hot. You hope to
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: cool them down, but even if you can't score off them.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: The Brewers have shown the key to this is to
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: try and make them work, to try and bring their
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: pitch count up, to try and absolutely pull every ounce
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: of energy out of it. And they've been really good
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: at doing that. And the thing about Freddie, and we
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: loved him when he was here, and he had the
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: ability to get hot. His stuff was good. The one
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: thing we saw with him is sometimes he had to
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: nibble too much. The pitch count would get in trouble.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: The Brewers seemed to be the right team to face
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: that type of weakness. and you kind of hope that
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: comes through, and.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Then we haven't really talked about their offense yet, but
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: that seems to be the way to do it. In
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of ways, are the Rays the mirror image
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of the Brewers?
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: In some ways, yes. In some ways, no. There's just
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: so many subplots to this series. And I mentioned Brian
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Baker at the back end. He's been as good as
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: you possibly can be. As much as the Brewers bullpen,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: rightfully so, will be the talk of these playoffs and
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: going in for the World Series. Brian Baker, seven appearances,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: three base runners allowed. One hit, two walks, as he
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: has gotten five saves through the seven victories that the
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Rays have had.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Every one of the Rays' victories, though.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: in the postseason, Brian Baker has finished it out and
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: been a part of it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: 877-794-1973.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: The NicoletLaw.com talk and text line will be active throughout
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the day. YouTube, X, Facebook stream already up. Those comments
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: are rolling through. Our friend John Kurosawa asking, where is Drew?
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Drew off today. A little bit of vocal maintenance, a
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: little rest and recovery as we get ready for a
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: ridiculously massive week load.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Management so you get that you get that in now
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: you get that load management and now before the uh
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the big.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Week because we're barely chomping off the the front end
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: of what this marathon is going to finish off.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah we won't have about chomping up one one wing
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow will be one of the bigger days for us
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: obviously it's our double header as we'll be at the
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: pottawatomie uh just outside of the pottawatomie sportsbook at the
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: annex starting at 5, 5 to 7 for the Thursday
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: night huddle, 2 to 4 here. Hunter Baumgart will have
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: you from 4 to 5 while we embark on the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: travel down. But while that is all happening, and while
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: we are presiding over the normal happy hour huddle before
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the Thursday night huddle, media day at American Family Field
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: will take center stage. Brewers will be up at the
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: press table. Rays will meet the media and have all
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: sorts of conversation. on both sides. We'll hear from Brewers
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: owner Marc Antanasio, Matt Arnold, Pat Murphy. You're hearing Pat
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Murphy everywhere now. Pat Murphy's been on this station twice
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: in the last two days.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: He's been everywhere.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: I believe.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I believe I'm okay to say this.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: The only station in the city, the only station in
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the state that Pat Murphy has appeared on back-to-back days
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: has been Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. I think you might
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: be right about that. Joining Colin Cowherd yesterday. He was
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: on with DP earlier on today. We're going to play
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: you a little bit of him with Dan Patrick earlier
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: on today because it was very, very good and very
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: entertaining as it always is. But you'll get the full
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: gauntlet of conversation tomorrow. Maybe get some answers on Brandon
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Woodruff tomorrow. And then on Friday, it's it's all systems
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: go as we get ready for game one of the
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: World Series. Finally, here in Milwaukee made the journey out. Armin,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: as I know you did earlier this week, I got
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: to take in and had to a little bit of
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: what the atmosphere about the team store would be today.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty awesome. I would imagine.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Live doesn't necessarily do it justice. As about 10 to
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: 12 minutes before 11 when it opens, there's at least
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: 100 people lined up outside of American Family Field to
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: get into that team store.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's an excitement level, and everyone wants to be
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: part of it, and that's one way to do it
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: right now. And I think they added the signage up
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: around the park now for the World Series, if I'm
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: not mistaken. I saw someone popping a video of those
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: cherry pickers putting up the little banners and the light
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: posts and stuff like that.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: You know, probably should have been more in tune with that,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: you know, but I probably should have been looking for more.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I was curious how, when they would do it.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And I saw the paint on the, on the field,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: as you could get a little bit of a look,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a look from where, you know,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: probably five to six rows deep of SRO standing room only.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: We'll be looking on to American family field coming up on,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: on Friday night.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Pretty awesome.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, all that, those all little things
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: to make it feel more and more real. as you
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: approach game one here, and I would just imagine people
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: want to take pictures, be there just to be a
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: part of it, to peruse through the options. I know
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: the team store is doing a lot of numbers, obviously,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: with the shirts, the hats, all the stuff coming in.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Phenomenal numbers.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Phenomenal numbers, and just the excitement of the moment for everybody.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: It's one of those things, Billy, that you don't want
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: to say it'll sustain a generation, because we hope it'll
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: happen more than once a generation from now on, but... boy,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: there's no question that we're starting to feel the excitement
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: of it in the air, especially with this fall weather
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: and everything, but the sun's still out.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Pretty awesome stuff. As the comments roll in, everyone has
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: their story, Billy.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Everyone has their own story about where they were, what
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: their memory is, what their memory they're going to make is,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: their efforts to try and be there to be a
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: part of it somehow and we're going to hear a
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: lot of those as people love being interactive we love
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: it as well.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Already getting them on the nickel a lot i can't
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: talking text line 877-794-1973 ups ben hits us up will
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: there be more brewers fans at game three and four
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: watch parties at amfam or Tampa Bay Rays fans at
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the game in their own stadium.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: I love this question because, you know, you know what
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I like to do, Billy, once these things get fired
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: up is, and it just starts to, it just seems
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: to happen.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: You know, you say I seek it out. Maybe that's true.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Maybe they come to me, but somehow I get in
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: these fan bases on social media. Somehow I get up
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: in these fan bases business a little bit on social media. And,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: you know, I have no clue how you do that
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: with throwing out different, you know, lead pipes worth of content.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: But there are a few race fans coming at me
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: because I keep talking about how we're taking over Tropicana.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It's going to be himself. Danny Boy Kane.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Those Milwaukee guys are in for a big shock when
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: they come to the trap for game three. We heard
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: during the Yankee series. We heard during the last series. And,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: you know, some more comments we'll get to from the
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Rays owner. You can miss me with all that. I
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: think the Brewers are going to have a massive contingent
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: down there. I think we're going to have a massive
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: contingent at American Family Field for these watch parties. We've
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: been waiting for this, you know, a long time, and
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: we want to gather, and we want to be together
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: for this stuff.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: And Milwaukee fans have showed it, man.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Their passion is nearly unmatched with some of these fan bases, Billy.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: I was thinking about market size a lot, too, and
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: how the Brewers are considered a small market or the
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: smallest in baseball based on how MLB ranks it. But
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: when you consider the fact that our market is not
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: just Milwaukee, it's really regional for the state of Wisconsin.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: And even though Tampa's market size is technically half, you know,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: midway through the MLB, theirs is very provincial and it's
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: not as regional for the whole state. you really just
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: can't compare the depth of excitement and the depth of
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: passion that this whole state has.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: And we've known that for a long time, and now
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: we're starting to see it. All right. You piqued my
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: interest here.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: What were these comments by the Rays owner that I
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: have not seen yet?
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: You know, it's pretty funny. I'm just perusing through today
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: looking at content, obviously. And it was part– I don't
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: know how I missed it initially. It was part of
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: the celebration, the champagne celebration– when Tampa won the pennant.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: And it was the owner of the.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Patrick is the owner and the principal owner and co-chair
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: of the race.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: All right. Now I was going to save it. I
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: was going to save it for.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Like 420 because I heard some of this stuff and
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I couldn't.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: OK, OK. And I'm going to pipe it. Well, do
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: you want to save it for 420? Because it was
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: like 420 worthy to me. OK, let's do that.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Let's do that.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: And then we'll and then we'll get the we'll get
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: the audio. Well, if it was part of the champagne celebration,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: maybe we can find some of the audio.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: We'll have that.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: OK, I like that. I like this little Patrick Zalupski.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Is that how I'm pronouncing my name? Zalupski. I don't
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: know what it is. He's got a nice little smile.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: It might be taking off that face if the Brewers
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: win this thing in six.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I've learned more about him in the last, like, four
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: hours than I ever did. You couldn't have knocked me
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: over with any sort of name, what the Ray's owner was.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: CEO of Dream Finders. Yeah, he's a house flipper. He's
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: a house flipper. He's a house flipper. He grew up
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: in Detroit, you know, and he was working in Detroit.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Then he became a house flipper and made some money
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: on it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: It was really good. I mean, good for him, whatever.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: You know, so just.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: pretty funny uh comment i saw and i was like
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: i'm not really sure about that.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: So you know a little bit of that we'll maybe.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: We'll get to it in 420 or maybe you can
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: run it earlier if you really want we can run
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: it twice.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Well no let's uh if you think it's if you
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: think it's 420 worthy uh as somebody that definitely in
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: vibes with that uh and knows a lot about the
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: 420 area armin i'm gonna take your word for it
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: so i'm excited to hear what that comes uh how
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: that comes to fruition we are gonna hear some from
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: from some legends can't wait on the show here today
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: larry heisel Cecil Cooper, Jerry Augustine will fire you up
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: like nobody's business, Wisconsin.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: They got the best guys for the World Series.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: And obviously Robin you out. They all talked earlier on
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: today on a zoom call went for almost an hour
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: worth of conversation back and forth fielding questions talking about
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: this year's team how it made them feel watching and
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: celebrating and cheering on the crew as they went out
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: and dethrone the defending champion Dodgers and also the answer
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: from Robin you out a couple of them that I
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: think people have been waiting for one. How did he
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: feel about to get the call by Pat Murphy and
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Christian Yelich about the captaincy. What kind of honor was that?
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: What did he feel and think of that moment? And
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: will this one maybe take away some of that sting
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: that he's talked about of 1982 in game seven, having
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: right there in living with for the last 44 years.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Awesome question. Maybe even better answer from Robin.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Can't wait for that.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Cause I think if, if you did watch the 82
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Brewers documentary, just a bit outside, uh, that was one
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: of the more emotional moments of the documentary and to
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: see Robin get emotional. So to get a little more
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: of that is going to be super interesting. Um, loved it,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: you know, peek behind the curtain when they were doing
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: this and Hunter was, uh, involved in the zoom.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: The best part about it, Billy is they didn't want
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: to leave. You could tell they didn't want to get off.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, they, they love talking to each other, being
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: with each other again and talking about this. And, And
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: you could see the glint in the eye, the happiness
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: it gave them. So that, I think, was the coolest part.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: But we'll hear all that audio. A lot of comments
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: coming in now on YouTube. Obviously, the NicoletLaw.com talk and
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: text line. We'll get to all you guys. I love
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: a lot of joking around. Possible Drew locations today. World
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Series-related activities.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Vacation or scoping the on-the-porter auction items in Franklin. I
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: don't know about the last one, but it's pretty funny. Yeah,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: they're having that. They auction it off? Yeah, they are.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: They're having the estate sale finally? Yeah, they're auctioning some
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: stuff off. That's pretty funny.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe they have a chair that I fell asleep in
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: at one time. You can buy that. 877-794-1973.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And you wouldn't have to rip it out like people
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: did at stadium chairs at County Stadium.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I remember those days.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Aaron in Carolina. Tampa fans aren't true fans like us
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Brewers fans. We are ride or die. The Tampa Bay
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Rays stadium is empty until right at the end. It's ridiculous.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Aaron also said the commitment to our teams. is night
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: and day, bro. Not even close.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Aaron, I like that. You have to agree. I mean,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: they do tarp off. I would tend to believe some
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: They tarp off a bunch of their stadium because they
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: don't sell those tickets. And whether or not there's a
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: reason for it.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: I believe the tickets that I'm sitting in for game
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: three potentially are tarped off ones.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: They have on.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I think that's a very, very good chance that they
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: are the tarp section.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: But it's going to be a phenomenal, phenomenal time. And
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: we haven't talked about that yet, Billy.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: You have jumped in and are going down there for
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: game three, which I think is extremely exciting.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: So that should be a lot of fun. You've got
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to be excited for that. Oh, Corey said, Drew's booking
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: game four flights for all. Well, that's nice of him. Thanks, Corey,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: from Portage. Appreciate that. That would be nice of him
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: to be able to do. Yeah, I love that. Absolutely.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Thanks for the compliment The jacket guys can get it
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: in team store. Well, they probably have one similar to this.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: I think this is a few years old style.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Boys, have you?
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: That was nice of him to be able to throw
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: you that red meat because you've been waiting to be
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: able to talk about your jacket again.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I don't need to be complimented on it, but it
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: does gas up the ego a little bit.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: And I do appreciate that because I think it is
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. John, have you boys went in that thing
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: back there yet?
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: No, actually, it's not that warm yet back here. I
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: don't know why, but I will probably I probably will.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Armin rocking three layers, a sweatshirt and a jacket here today. Inside,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: we bring you some beautiful conversation on a 72 degree
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: October day.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: This is the thin one, the thin sweatshirt. So it's
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: more like that. And the other one's just under iron jock.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Iron Jack t-shirt. So that's not too bad.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: John asking, have you boys heard the win our way
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Brewers anthem? By Brookfield Pastor Brian Mitchell.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I have not. No, I haven't.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: But I could use some new anthems. So if you
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: want to send them my way to play, if you know,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: you know. Yesterday didn't really hit the.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Way we wanted.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: No, that one definitely didn't hit. I'm pretty surprised that
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: this is now Wednesday. And I don't think I've heard
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: you spin through turning up the heat or come see
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: what's brewing.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll get them.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Those are choices. That's a choice. One that's been made.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: But listen, it's still a couple of days away from
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: first pitch. We're still tempering the excitement. But I think
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: it's building to a point. That is a little bit
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: higher than a fever pitch. It's hard to contain the
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: excitement as we get ready for the first World Series
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: in this city in over 40 years, but also getting
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: excited for your four and two Green Bay Packers taking
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: on the Motor City Kitties.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: That's going to be another one. Don't forget about them.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Brady and Burkhart. 325 action. Through your favorites, Billy. Well,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: they are my favorites. Kevin Burkhardt, maybe not as much.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I really enjoy Tom Brady. I know you don't necessarily
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: enjoy Tom Brady as much. As a broadcaster, he's definitely
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: gotten better, though. He's growing on me a bit. I
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: would say if people are frustrated with Fox announced teams,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: the football one, definitely not frustrated with. very, very into
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: their football broadcasting team, their pregame and postgame show.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I know we're going to be.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Distracted by this little thing called the World Series, the
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Brewers are in, but this is a big opportunity for
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: the Packers, no question about it. You've really turned your
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: thing around here in that sense with the rough start
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: to the year, but the last two games have been good.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: You roll up to Detroit and get it done. You're
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: talking about a 5-2 and a win like that, so
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: it's a big opportunity, no question.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: And a certain person might be back in the fold.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: We'll talk a little bit about Josh Jacobs' potential availability.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Matt LaFleur answers some of those questions later on here today.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: We'll bring you his comments after he hits the podium
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: up in Green Bay. Armand Sarian's right there. I'm Billy Schmidt.

• 23:27
  Speaker 1: You'll be a believer in Brewer fever when you feel
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the excitement of the big home run. Stomping your feet,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: clapping your hands, you're part of the team.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: That music brings in one of our absolute favorites as
• 23:47

• 24:19
  Speaker 2: to discuss some Milwaukee Admirals hockey. Greeny, always appreciate it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: And I know how excited everybody around the city of
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee is. But maybe none more than our own John Greenberg.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: What does it feel like for you out of all
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: the times going to County Stadium, American Family Field, formerly
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Miller Park? to be finally back in the World Series,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: and as much baseball as you've watched, can you believe
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: that 44 years has gone so quickly?
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Well, certainly it has gone quickly. There were some lean
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: years in there, for sure, but this last, oh gosh,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: 15 years really of Brewers baseball has been so great
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: to watch, and it's very rewarding for those of us
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: who are front office alumni to feel like we're still
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: part of this thing. I've been in touch with a
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: lot of people that I worked with over the years
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: and a lot of people that I haven't heard from
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: in a long time who want to know how they
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: can get tickets.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: So....
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: I don't have a whole lot of context to be
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: able to help them with that, but it's very rewarding
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: and it's very exciting. And I was at the World
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: Series in 1982 as a 15-year-old kid. To think that
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: it has taken this long to get back there is
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: kind of crazy, but the feeling of being so close now,
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: it's really, really electric.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you told them all. Tickets are available at MilwaukeeAdmirals.com.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Greeny, it is funny.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: I saw you this week in the arena, and we
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: talked a little bit about that aspect of it is
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: amazing how something like this is obviously exciting for all
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: of us, But the best part is the way it
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: brings people together and reunites people. And you just talked
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: about it, all the people you worked with when you
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: were an employee of the Brewers and all the memories
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: and everyone that kind of had a hand in it
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: all along the way, as happy for those guys as any. And,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: you know, you, like, wasn't your old desk in, like,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: the shower at County Stadium or something like that? Just
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: from those humble beginnings, the memories have to be overwhelming.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Telling the stories about how Hank
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Aaron used to take a shower in my office is
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: always a good story, but it was true. My office
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: at County Stadium before we moved into Miller Park was
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: in the shower room of the original stadium. Brewers locker room,
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: what was the Braves locker room. So, yeah, crazy stuff.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: But it does bring us together. I tell people when
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden you're high-fiving strangers and hugging people
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: you don't even know because everybody's so excited being part
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: of something and seeing the viewing parties and seeing people
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: just talk about Brewers and wear their Brewers stuff. It's
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: why sports is so important to a community. It brings
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: us together. We're really happy to be part of that
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: fraternity of sports teams here that get the opportunity to
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: offer this to people in southeastern Wisconsin.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Winning is contagious. John Greenberg, president of the Milwaukee Admirals,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: joining us here on the huddle. Greeny, I think the
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: excitement of sports, we touched on it maybe a little
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: last week, but When this happens, people get a little
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: bit more sports craze. They get excited to be around.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: They get excited to be at games, at events. And
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Admirals hockey is always one that's going to deliver on
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: the entertainment side. But when it coincides with game one
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: of the World Series, you guys made the move to
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Armin and I may or may not have been wondering
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: about this coming up for the last week and a
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: half because Armin and I were both slated to be
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: at games. Panther Arena on Friday night, but now it'll
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: be a little bit different of a Sunday matinee to
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: be able to clear the way for people to be
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: able to celebrate on Friday night.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we have been talking about this for about 10
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: days prior to the Brewers clinching a spot in the
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: World Series. We all knew the calendar that this was
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: a possibility, and we're grateful to be able to move. Frankly,
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: it takes a lot of different approvals to get something
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: like this done. Your league has to approve doing something
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: like this and making sure you have officials, the visiting
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: team has to approve be available and willing to change.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Your building has to be open and willing to change
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: and also be able to staff the building so that
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: when people come, they're getting the same experience they would
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: if it was the game that was on the schedule.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: So a lot of moving pieces and a lot of
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: people that were very happy that we were able to
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: make this decision. None more so than myself so that
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: I can go to the game. But excited that they
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: were able to do it and uh thankful to everybody
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: who made it.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Possible well i'm sure harris feels the same way he
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: told me he was going to the game so yeah
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: he was gonna find his way in there do you
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: think people appreciate i know fans can get impatient and
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: you want instant results a lot of it you know
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: if the brewer's announcing a watch party and things like
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: that and what's taking so long i think fans get
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: excited for these moments and so impatient because they want
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: something else to grab onto that they're waiting for these
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: things but i don't think they really appreciate and you're
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: in this position how hard how many things have to
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: happen and and all the the different levers that have
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: to take place to move something like that you're talking
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: about employees you're talking about uh changing all kinds of
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: like obviously you said venue approvals and things like that
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: teams there's a lot that has to go on that
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: people don't appreciate uh greeny Yeah, it's not as easy.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: As just saying, hey, yeah, we're just going to change
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: the game. Or, hey, we're just going to open up
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: our facility and be available for... In the ballpark case,
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: it could be I don't know how many people they're
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: going to have for those viewing parties, but they theoretically
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: could have 40,000 people out there. You can't just snap
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: your fingers and make that happen. A lot of things
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: have to get organized. As much as you don't want
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: to be superstitious, those of us who have to make
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: the decisions don't allow superstition to come in. Somebody may say, hey,
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: why didn't you just get ready for it? No, you
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: can't do that. They might not get there. Anyway, it's
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: a matter of Just getting your ducks in a row,
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: and it's part of running a business and just being
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: prepared to make a switch when you need to.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Well, and we are lucky to be one of the
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: smallest little pieces and be around your business. You operate
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: incredibly well. and fortunate enough to be there on Sunday
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: for the new start time, 1 o'clock face-off against the
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Chicago Wolves, and a sweet giveaway with a Gruber Law
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Office t-shirt with Greeny, the logo of my youth. Again,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: one that makes me feel some sort of way. Winning
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: is contagious. That logo's got some winning to it as
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: well of the little retro t-shirt giveaway that we're seeing
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: on Sunday.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the Admirals logo from the year that they
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: won the Calder Cup back in 2004. So I'm thankful
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: to the folks at Gruber for being open to being
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: able to move this on to the Sunday. So the
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: first 4,000 fans will get that t-shirt and all the
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: promotions that we had scheduled for Friday night. all move
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: to Sunday. If you have tickets from Friday night and
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: you're going to come on Sunday, you don't need a
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: new ticket. Just use the same ticket will work. But
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: we have an Ian's Pizza student night deal that is
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: normally on Fridays. We've moved that to Sunday. So $ 15
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: with your student ID gets you a ticket to the
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: game and a slice of Ian's Pizza at the retail locations.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: The fair deal Friday has been moved to Sunday. So
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: a ticket to the game and a ticket to the
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: state fair will for next year, which that'll be here
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: before we know it. And so you can get your
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: first crack at that. So a lot of things that
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: we had planned for Friday just get moved to Sunday.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: There you go. There you have it, Greeny.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: The phrase, a rising tide lifts all boats, I know
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: has been thrown around, but I really believe it's the
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: case when it comes to the energy of a sports town,
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: of a sports excitement in a city. And do you
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: expect that a little bit now as hopefully we move
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: through the end of the Brewer season with the World
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Series victory? And we hope that it'll just whet everyone's
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: appetite for more sports excitement, more sports live viewing as
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: we head into the winter with Admirals Hockey.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's certainly our expectation and we have seen it before. So,
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: you know, I think we've seen it even with our
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: own business back when we won 19 games in a row.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: That absolutely got everybody's attention and everyone wanted to be
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: part of it. And we anticipate what the Brewers are
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: doing being a positive for us. Tomorrow we'll actually be
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: making an announcement of some Brewers Admiral's business. So keep
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: an eye out for that. That'll be good for for
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: the rest of the season as well. So a lot
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: of good things. We're glad to be partners with the Brewers.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: It's been a longstanding relationship and we're really proud to
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: support them.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: And we are.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Proud to be able to let people know that if
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: you are trying to get a really exciting moment also

• 33:43
  Speaker 2: that you can grab and have some of the best
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: seats in the house. But Greeny, um, Today at MKE Admirals,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: see this Milwaukee Admirals deer camp specialty jerseys coming up
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: for the 14th of November. When you start to wonder
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: of the unofficial tertiary colors of Wisconsin, everybody thinks green
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: and gold, blue and yellow, maybe some red and white,
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: obviously Admirals blues. But let's be honest, blaze orange is
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: the unofficial third color.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Of wisconsin i'm glad that we're able to enjoy that
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: with some admirals hockey coming up in.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: November yeah yeah we're excited to do this uh it's
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: a brainstorm of uh some members of our team here,
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: and with hunting season rapidly approaching, we wanted to get
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: a head start on it, so the week before hunting,
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: deer hunting starts, we're doing deer camp night, and we're
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: going to wear some camo with a blaze orange Admirals
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: logo on it, and it's really, really sharp, so we're
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: going to auction those off for the Admirals Power Play Foundation,
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: so you can get the ones that our players are wearing,
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: and we'll have plenty of camo and orange merch in
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: the store, so And it's a lot of fun to
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: be able to put these things together. And that first
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: specialty jersey was pretty sharp.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is phenomenal. I'm excited to be able to
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: see that. And I'm excited to get my hands on
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: some of that merch. Because if you know anything about me, Greeny,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: I want to go to deer camp. I'm not really
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: the hunting type. I'm not the sitting out in the
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: cold and waiting for Bambi one. But I want to
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: go and be about deer camp. I want to go
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: and just hang out with everybody in the orange and
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: in the camo and be in the warmth. So this
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: is the perfect place to be able to do that.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, and I'm sure we're going to have a lot
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: of fun that night doing a lot of hunting-related things
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: that don't involve actual hunting, but the things that go
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: with deer camp.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: The perfect kind.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Greeny, always appreciate it.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Good luck tonight as the Admirals are on the road
• 35:41

  Speaker 2: part of Milwaukee Admirals hockey.

  Speaker 1: I like that you say appearing. I must be honest.
• 36:20

• 36:25
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Trust me.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Nobody comes to see me, but people come to see

  Speaker 2: Armin Sarian at a Milwaukee Admirals game.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Listen, speaking of pause and Hawes was there on dog night.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: You should have seen the way they were excited to

  Speaker 3: see me when I had all those rescue dogs around me.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: It was a great dog night, by the way. Then

• 36:47
  Speaker 3: another great one. I appreciate you saying that, Billy, because
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: I like to pretend that. No, you're not pretending. Even
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: though we have the mic set, everyone came for us.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: I like to pretend that, but... But awesome. Awesome to
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: be a part of it. Awesome that the Brewers and

  Speaker 3: Admirals continue their great partnership. The patches are on the jersey,
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: as you know.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: He posted a very official statement with letterhead and everything
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: that I probably should have had and probably should have read.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: But he summed it up even better. But he mentioned it.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Our ties with the Milwaukee Brewers run deep, beginning with
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: our owner, Harris Tour, who is also a proud Brewers
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: minority owner.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Indeed.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: And more importantly than minority owner for Harris Tour. Brewers fan,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Harris Stewart.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Number one, he was so excited. Brewers fan, Harris Stewart.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: I stopped him downstairs and I saw him. I was like,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: you're going Harris to the games? Probably one of the
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: dumbest questions I could ask. But I just went, you're
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: going to the games? He's like, oh yeah, I'm going. Yeah,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: I'll be there. I'll be there, Armin. He was so excited.

  Speaker 3: good one there, no doubt. I don't know what this Brewers.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Enjoy bullpen conversations with Harris. I enjoy off-season Brewer conversations
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: with Harris. Always tuned up for some Brewers baseball and
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: always for some admirals hockey and if you go and
• 37:58

  Speaker 2: you can't put him on the penalty kill for one
• 38:17

  Speaker 1: Well, we need him to be able.

  Speaker 2: To do 10 more days of service to the other team.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe wait until the season ends for that. Yeah, 10
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: more days of service for the other team. Then he
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: can start doing some runs.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: I'd love to see him on skates and see what
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: he could still do. Because I'm sure he could get.

  Speaker 1: Up and down the ice.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I heard from Christian Yelich talking about trying to tackle him.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: It feels like he's still got his football ability with him.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: I imagine he's still got a little bit of hockey
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: acumen to him.

• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Sportsbook could love. If it was in the middle of January. Yeah,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: let's be honest.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: If these two teams were playing in February.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: It'd be a potentially really tough watch to see from
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: a team that earned the number one overall.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Pick last year. They won the lottery. But they earned it.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: They went through every loss that you had.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: To to be able to get A.J.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: DeBonsa, who will not be on the floor tonight. You
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: won't even see him. Yeah, that's true.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: So there's always excitement. We love our Bucs. It's a
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: new journey for them.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: A new look. Very new journey. Might be different.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: But they do play tonight a regular professional season basketball game.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: Regular season professional basketball game. They will play tight. So look,
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's not there. The Wizards have other big names.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: It might make you scratch your head, but let's hope
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: they don't want to know tonight. You know, I'm not
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: going to be pessimistic. Let's hope that the Bucs surprise
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: some people.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Would you have guessed that as you sit here getting
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: ready for the 26-27 regular season for your Milwaukee Bucs,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: that they would be only a four and a half
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: point underdog in their first game? No, I wouldn't have
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: guessed that. I would have guessed it'd be a little
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: bit bigger.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: But, you know, maybe this can give us some hope
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: that the gulf between them and other teams isn't as wide.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know what they're booking this on. Is it
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: because of the Bonsa or because of the unknown? Western
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Conference Finals stud, Justin Champagny.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Sorry, is that his? No, Champagny is on the. Right.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I did not know that he was on the. I
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: did not know that he made the move over from
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: San Antonio. You know what?
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Or is that a brother of Julian Champagny who we
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: watched with the San Antonio Spurs?
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: I'll admit I haven't followed the Wizards offseason as closely
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: as I probably should.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest. Just realize now that they
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: are aware.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: And the team that was lucky enough to end up
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: this offseason with DeAndre Ayton.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: That I do remember. I would guess that maybe is
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: a fortunate thing. They were talking about that. A one-year
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: deal at $ 8 million.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Because I think DP was talking about that early in
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: the summer, late summer, because he always likes to talk
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: about Wemby and things like that.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: It was an interesting night in the NBA last night.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: I know this is not on top of mind for
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: any of us this week. For a lot of people,
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: but there are bucks diehards out there. We're all diehards.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: We're all fans.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: We're all excited. We're just, our attention is swayed.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: When you potentially turn on my 24 for free Milwaukee
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: bucks basketball season long.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: That's the nice thing about starting up tonight.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: You, you might not know, but you will see the
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Anthony Davis and Trey young led Washington wizards against.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: They've got stars, the hometown kid. Yeah.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: They've got Tyler hero, miles Turner, Braden Burry's hometown hero,
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Ryan Rollins, AJ green going out there battling for your milk.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: You got a bunch of guys kill all wear aware.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: This is a new look bucks team.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Very exciting. Got to be honest.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Thank God they're on, uh, not opposite of world series
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: game because there would not be a lot of eyeballs
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: going on, on Taylor Jenkins. First game is Milwaukee bucks
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: head coach. We want those eyeballs on them.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's reality. And that's fair.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: And they start up a good double header on Friday.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Three o'clock bucks home opener against the Bulls. Maybe beat
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: the baby Bulls, then roll through game one World Series.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: If you got any extra cash laying around after getting
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: your World Series tickets, you might as well go over there.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: You might as well stick right here. We got a
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: lot more from coming at you. We got Hunter Baumgart
