• 1:16
  Speaker 3: and women's hockey program. He's super, super awesome guy. So
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: that was a phenomenal time yesterday.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Cool, you just mentioned Ken Shamrock and I had a
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: flashback that Johnny Vegas and I were out with one
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of his co workers many many years ago, and his
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: coworker struck up a conversation with a very strikingly attractive
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: mid thirties Ish woman and then she went to go
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to the bathroom and the bartender said, you might not
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: want to be talking to her.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: It's like, well why not?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Like wow, her most recent X is Ken Shamrock and
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: he comes in here a lot, so hey, you.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Know what I love?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: It is like a bartenders for the heads up. Yes,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: we'll be leaving the pay our tab. We're giving you
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: a nice tip on our way out of that getting
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: good advice.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: That's a good bartender.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: You know. It's like, you know, she's just being nice
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to you because she's a pro or something. No, No,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: it was like I was gonna say, what is she
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: gonna watch?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Watch?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: It's like word to the wise. Okay, No, we need
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Ken Shamrock flashback.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: That's what you can't. You know, you gotta I gotta
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: know why, like you know what I.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Mean Ken Ken Shamrock flashbacks? How about flashbacks to Pittsburgh
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Brewers get swept yesterday.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: A gut punch of a loss.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Winning that one would have been a mood changer, would
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: have get you go into La with wind in your sales,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: even though you lost two out of three. But they
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: lose four three and eleven innings and it was mostly heinous. Yes,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: it was stinging, to say the least.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Drew the last play, even with a great throw by Laura,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: a pretty good throw. If it's a great throw, it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: a little bit lower and you might still be playing.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Who knows he made the.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Great catch and Mitchell did two an extra, so all
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: those things kind of the great start by Dustin may
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: go by the wayside.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately. Yeah, the Dustin May was something like.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: There the silver lining is Dustin May gets the ball
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and pitches into the eighth with eighty three pitches. He
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: walked the first guy in the eighth, so Murph went
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to get him. M all right, eighty three pitches. Yeah,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: but thirty you know you can you can make the
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: case that that's okay and you should rested bullpen.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Let's go right, and Patrick walked a couple of guys.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Ashby didn't cover first base, but you can focus on
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the pitching. But once again, the Brewers were two for
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: fifteen with runners in scoring position. Oh my goodness. They
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: left thirteen men on base, and of the fifteen at
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: bats with runners in scoring position then ended in strikeouts.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, frustrating. It was heinous.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: They struck out with a base loaded three guys struck
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: out like they left the base loaded.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: In the eleventh thing, and that's what really hurt him.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Right, Casanchez gets the RBI double, will lead it off,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: but then it's okay, great, now you're gonna take control
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: and get some.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: More than you need.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: The crooked number, especially when you're on the road, and
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: now that one really hurts. So they just blew a
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: chance to break it open, and then ren Heatho comes
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: in and he's had some I mean, I'm sorry, Sends.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: The tailor had some bad luck again, you know, bad
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: just bad result.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, vallerball. So you blame that. You
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: can blame the bullpen, but it's the it's the offense
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that's mm hmm.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: This is when when Drew they leave that many guys
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: on on basin in scoring position. I mean there was
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: also two for eleven where the padres, but a lot
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: of that. They lost a lot of their men on
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: base because your defense was final.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: What at four double play was a double play machine.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Well, and even at the point it looked like that
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: double play in the fourth inning that they turned right
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: after a botch that should have gotten him out of
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the inning might have been the biggest pitch of the
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: game if they win it, who knows, because it would
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: have been a moon changer. Could have been the biggest
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: pitch of the road trip. If you go out there
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: and do something good against the Dodgers. Robbie Ray got
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Robbie Ray didn't pitch well. And that's another thing. Dustin
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: May outpitched.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Robby Ray, a guy who a lot of people would
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: rather have had, Yeah, but he was way better.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Dustin May has been. Its pretty pretty damn solid pick up.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: That's the silver lining. But the first played eleven.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Innings and they only got five hits, right, And like
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I said, two and fifteen play appearances with runners in
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: scoring posions.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Five hits, but they got ten walks. Yeah, on base playing.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Traffic all day. That's why they had all the guys stranded.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: And it's just an awful offensive day, an awful day
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: all around. Ashby's got to cover first base. He gives
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: you a chance you'd probably win the game if he
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: covers first base.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So I was.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I was listening on the radio at that point, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: it sounded like they were being very potentially nice in
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: that criticism. That was a that was a blow by
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Ashley copying there, right, And it was.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Just then he overran the bag and Tattis scored.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, Because all of a sudden you hear Tattoos
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: rolling around and I'm like, okay, that's just one of
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the base stealers in the league running.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: But it was just another botch on the side.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: I was still super close, Like when I watched the
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: replay over and over to see, like, all right, how
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: late was he because obviously he's a left you come
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: down on the right back, so it's hard to turn
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: around wheel. And he did get down in sprint and
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: it was just like a split second of a step late.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: But if he gets you, it's just reaction if you
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: If he gets there a split second earlier, obviously on
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: the reaction, he might.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Have had a chance to beat him. Do you think
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Bower's gonna beat him?
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: It's tough because Vaughan's going to his right right in
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: that place, so I don't know. It might have been
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: might have been able to slide in and beat him
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: with the foot.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: That's a tough situation. I'd have to watch it again
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to see.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: But I saw Murph's post came and he said, you
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: know this has happened to Ashby before, and it's like
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: four or five times.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: It's like something in his career. You got to get
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: better at it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: And then he basically said, the first baseman's got to
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: dive for the bag.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: You can't trust Ashby.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: It was an option, I said, is he gonna try
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and dive here? Yet?
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: As we all know who we're working with, maybe we
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: just take matters into our own hands.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: It's just tough because you once he once he.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Got it roll over. I'm like, he's out of this.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Said, here's Murph saying it's been going on. You've seen
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: that with Ashby in his career, maybe four or five times.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Seems like it's always comes at a critical time. The
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: first basement has got to die for the base. You
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: can't leave it up to Ashby. It's a good point.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: That's a love way.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: The Birs offense sucked, but nobody could be mad at
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Christianellege because he' one of the guys that did not play.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: It was it was not in there.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: But then this game, this was such a blow and
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: they were in the series three for twenty eight with
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: runners in scoring position.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: So we're back to that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: And you think that's got to like just regressive the meeting.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: It's got to get better, right, But you keep waiting
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: for it.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: But they went through one of these death spirals and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you know, the defense is still there, the pitching is
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: still there. They pitched well enough to win. Didn't hit
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: You can, okay, they should have got a bat at
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the deadline. Well maybe the bats they have should be better.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Well that's the thing.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, I still firmly believe the best bats
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: that were available at the deadline is Jackson Surio, Bryce
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Terrang and William Contreras hitting like their baseball cards.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: So it was it's so deflating yesterday that, in a
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: rarity and probably a season first, Murph called a postgame
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: meeting to address the truth.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Wow, okay, come on now, big meeting guy. Now we
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: need to figure this out and have a meeting, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: not a player's only meeting. It's a full team roof
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: talking too.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now I did.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I also like Jake Bauer statement after the game where
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: he's I think we all just need to child up
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: out a little bit. And now it's it's a lot
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: easier said than done, right there. The Paul Rudd in
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: uh forgetting Sarah Marshall.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Just do less, just do less? All right, Well, now
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you're not doing anything at all. Do more, but do
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: more but less.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: But you got to figure out easier to be able attics,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: easier to be able to get yourself dialed in while
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: also not being so hell bent on on the swings
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: and missus because there's gonna be too many of them
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: to keep yourself out of the Game for.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Asked about his message, Murph said, sometimes it goes the
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: other way. All I know is that on August twelfth,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: we have the best record of baseball. Well now the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: race do actually saying no longer. If you've got the
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: best record in baseball, you're still going to go through
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: times like this when things are aren't very good and
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: everything seems to go against you.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: But it's in your head. Things are going against you.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: You've got to not feel sorry for yourself and just
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: keep your head up and not go, oh, well, now
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: we've got the Dodgers. They're the best team. You just
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: get opportunity after opportunity and take advantage. I'm proud as
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: hell of this team. So for everybody who's looking like,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: oh wow, what's going on the pod, there's a hot
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: team in baseball, look it up. They've got a bunch
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: of superstars, all playing good. They've got a great pitching staff,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: especially the bullpen, some of the best in the game.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: We cut them at the wrong time or we win
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: two out of three, for sure, but we didn't. Here
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: we are, teams are closing in on us. Everybody's talking
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: about the Cubs. Hey, give the Cubs credit. They're an experienced,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: educated team. They showed up their team with as much
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: as they could and they're playing great. Hats off to them.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: We can't worry about any of that. Just worry about
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: ourselves and keep rolling, keep fighting, keep playing the way
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: we have. We can't look behind. We have to play
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the way we play. Fantastic.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I love the way he puts it. All you can
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: do is get back on the horse and go again
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: and try to make you get opportunities. Jilly just said
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: that you could if they sweep the Dodgers.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: It's a winning trip could happen and if you likely
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: but it could if.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: You win the series.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Again, this is just the stuff that probably they aren't
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: forecasting or looking for. You win the series three out
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: of four, you win the season series against the Dodgers, Yeah,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: and you will have that tiebreaker over for basically an
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: extra half game lead in the standings for the buy.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: And a trip that started in a nightmares. You're suddenly,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you know, suddenly our three of four would feel real good.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, three and four would be you know, three and
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: four would be great after going on with three.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: It's they're in a position where at least you know
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have miss and Henderson in the back end
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: of the trip. Henderson against School is gonna be one
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: of the more fascinating pitching matchups I think all year long.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: And you just hope that you don't have to You
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: just pray that Miz doesn't have to be the stopper,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: because if that's the case, then this swoon through August
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: definitely takes a different type of tailspin. And we were
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: talking about a five and a half game lead going
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: into September. That lead that you built up through the
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: last three months could completely dissipate because nobody's helping you.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Nobody's clubs aren't gonna lose man. That's what this way.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: It feels like freaking Alex Bregman all of a sudden
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: found his baseball.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden, He's going nuts, right, What was he?
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Three for three with three taters?
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: You three all? I didn't see that. Yeah, three for
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: three with three bombs. That's disgusting. Yeah.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: I try to avoid when I see them put up
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: quoked numbers. I try and avoid the rest of the score.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: But uh, I think understanding too, Like, no matter how
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: good the season is in totality. There's gonna be rough spots,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: rough waters, there's gonna be turbulence in that flight.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: That's okay.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: It's not like you're accepting it and you're saying, hey,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: we're just not gonna try our best. No one's saying that,
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: but understand the reality of it and saying, look, these
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: are times you gotta get through what you gotta make
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: sure they pass.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: You gotta do all you can get out of it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: And once you do, you know, we just talked about
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: the Cubs understanding the fact that you know, they might
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: have a stretch like this at some point too, and
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: it might all even out. So I can do is
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: what you can do, right, And if the Cubs are
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: that good and they're gonna be unstoppable that much, so
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: be it.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a dogfight.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Then they're gonna earn their position and we'll see what
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: happens in September. But that's just the way it goes sometimes.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: But the Brewers have to get healthy, just get one
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: guppish nide, find a way to put some runs up
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: and try and get yourself feeling all right, we're back
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: in the track.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: The frustrating thing is I thought they were. I thought
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: they did the Tom Hondacord. I thought they were gonna
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: kick the crap out of somebody two to one. Sure,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: feel real good on their quick flight up to Los
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles, uh, and maybe get a nice steak dinner
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: when you land.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: And instead weren't going in and they weren't going out
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to any ocean app places. Last, first of all, they
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: bust from San Diego to.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Really Oh yeah, oh dang, that's probably quite a ride
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: in traffic. But they do BUSCA say that's a decent
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: that's a decent jaunt. Yeah. Kurt Hog has an interesting
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: story about trying to pin down the Brewers offense. Is
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: it good they're fifth in the league and runs scored?
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: What if I had have told you in spring training
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: that August thirteenth, the Brewers be fifth in the league
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: and run score? You take it right, Yeah, absolutely, But
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: then you say, are they good? Are they a good offense?
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: And you watch the bats and you watch the three
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: for twenty eight runs in correcase, you say no, not
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: really well, but it's at the point of it always,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: this is always the debate, and it goes back to
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the whole moneyball.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: You're trying to get runs. You're just trying to Oh yeah,
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: you get hits, you're trying to get runs.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Were third, and runs scored last year sixth the year before.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three there were seventeenth.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: A lot of that's the walks, A lot of that,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: A lot of that is because it's not slugging for
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: this team.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: A lot of that is getting on base understanding you
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: know how to do it. Put a pressure on Brews
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: are second in baseball and walk rate. Well, they had
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: ten walks yesterday and didn't turn them into anything. They
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: don't chase as many pitches as any other team. They're
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: very good in played discipline, so that's a thing. But
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: then where there's no homers and there's no you know,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the clutch hitting, it just isn't there.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing, is that the clutch hitting is
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: just as has escaped them. And while I'm not here
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: to be the captain of the Christian Eellege fan club,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: that was one spot where at least there had been
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: a couple of hits earlier on in the year late
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: and in clutch moments you had seen some of that.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: They're going through a massive tailspin right, massive team wide malaise,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: and there's got to be something that you can do
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: to try to crack this thing through. But it happens
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: to every great team. BTS isn't just a South Korean
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: boy band. BTS is what Tom Hardercourt and I would
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: call bad team syndrome. Like brus are not a team
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: by any stretch, but they're going through They're in a
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: bad team syndrome right now.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Whereas every mistake you make, every.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Ashby not covering the bag terrang, making a base running error,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: a fielding air like the Botch double play didn't hurt
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: them because they got a double play on the next play.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: But everything's a butterfly effect and it just has a
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: cascading effect. So there's you know, bad team syndrome, like
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: when you on the nights that you hit, you know,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: we scored seven runs.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And we gave up nine. They're the worst version of
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: a good team exactly. There.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: It's just bad team syndrome and every every good team.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers just went through it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they just lost point.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers just sputtered through it, and the Brewers are
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: going through it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Right. Sometimes you do it and it's the timing.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Wow. They can't compete with the Podres and Dodgers. I
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: don't know that it matters who you play, because they
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: struggled against the Twins, and they struggled offensively against everybody.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I think the Padres also are going to be just
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: about anybody these last couple of days.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Right, and merv mentioned it.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: They're as hot as hell, and I think they've won
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: what fourteen of eighteen or fifteen of nineteen now.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just like they're going on that stretch.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: They also have one of the we talk about payroll
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: be uh, one of the biggest factors in performance and
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: wins and losses in baseball. They got one of the
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: bigger payrolls and all the ball and and drew. They
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: have one thing that is in I don't know that
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: it's a neutralizing factor, but it is a It is
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: a tough one for other teams to deal with, is
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: that they are the only show in town and that
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: place is live every single night. Like you could hear
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: it throughout the last three or four innings. Yesterday it
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: was live in there and for a matinee in the
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: middle of the week, and uh, they love their Padres.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Going on the.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Extra inning, they wanted to walk. They wanted to walk
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: tatiss at one point and Murphy was yelling and nobody
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: could hear because when you're out in the music in
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: the atmosphere. It took a while and it was like, oh,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: they might not see this that they want to put
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: them on and they.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: How do we figure out to get their uh sound?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Guy?
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Because that place sounds like a freaking party. It is
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: these next four nights at l A in l A. Yeah,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: but still like whenever the brewers are up, they'll fire
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: up the jams in that place. That place will lie.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: I've been up at very very smart times. Right, That's it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I think it's the key moment and infusion of oh
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: it sounds like this is a big moment.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Why don't we crank up the volume a little bit
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: and see it?
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like they're very strategic within Dodger Stadium.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: San Diego is just allowed all of it. It's so
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: funny because California is supposed to be laid back. San
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Diego is loud beginning to end. It's a loud play.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: It's a vibe. You're right, it's a party.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: It's the uh waste management classic of baseball.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: And then the Dodgers are.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: You know, the celebrities and everybody shows up late because
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: of traffic and everything.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: But no, they get you right in the moments. They
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: get it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: By the seventh inning, when everyone's there. That's when it
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: really gets like California is supposed to laid back. Go
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: to a Brewers game and you see Miss and like
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: it's picked up a little bit. But you would think
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: that when Miss throws the first pitch one hundred and
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: four or has two strikes on the leadoff batter of
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: a game, you might have a little.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Like juice, but we don't.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: It's it's picking up a little bit, but it's nowhere
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: near what it where it will be like in the playoff.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: It won't be like dead.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: But that's why I said I wanted Cooper Pratt to play,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: and I want because that's the that's a playoff preview,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: that atmosphere, and that's why I say that teams like
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: the Twins and the and the Rockies get excited coming
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: to Milwaukee because to them it feels like the playoffs,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: even though it's not the same. It's where we're a
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: level below San Diego. And it was a full house.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: It was the home series I want to say that
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Pratt played against the Cubs, but he had mentioned it
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks later that he is like, I
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: gripped the bat a little bit too tight in those games,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: right I was. I was feeling the atmosphere, feeling the intensity.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: So it's a would have been a thing. So, yeah,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Yellic's didn't play. It wasn't his fault yesterday. But he's
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: part of the problem. But everybody's part of the problem.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: And we talked about the injuries, the nagging stuff like
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I guess Churio's hands bugging him and Terang's got a
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: sprain thumb well.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: And then Murph yeah, then Murph yesterday is like, oh,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: by the way, yeah, I misspoke. Actually Terran doesn't have
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: a sprain thumb.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: It's actually Cheerio. Sorry, Like when when when we're messing
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: that part up, by the maybe we got Ran got
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: a big knock yesterday and he's he continues you expect
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: him or any series.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: He gets hit, and he got rob from another one
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: by the Crone Zone. Jake Croninworth. Fletcher was excited about
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: that one.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: And by the way, not only not only did he
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: pitch in this series, but Elgary hit the home run
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: to get him going.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: He was the main offense. Did think that was just
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: the case. All you needed was him to pitch to
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: wake up the bats.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: When when that thing that would have been such a
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: nice one to get and Mason Miller walked to guys.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Had a chance off him. I had a chance. I
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: had a chance.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Like it's still a long shot because he's really good,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: but fascinating to watch and to argue about whether this
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: offense is good or functional or can it win. Yeah,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: as we've said, the Brewers, when they're going and when
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: they're rolling, they can beat anybody. They can also lose
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: to anybody.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Well, you mentioned butterfly in fact, and I promised an
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: inspirational text from Ronda and Morono speaking of butterflies, morning, gentlemen.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: I finally released three male monarch butterflies. You know she
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: raises monarch butterflies, and of course I named them appropriately.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: So we've all got one Drew billion armon their pictures.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: I'm heartbroken with the Brewers, but I'm putting positive out
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: there and I'm likening the Brewers to my monarchs.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: You start off cute and happy like a caterpillar. Then
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the ugly.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Period, transitioning to in the chrysalis, and then finally emerging
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: to fly free.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Strong pavilion against storms.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: During migration, the Brewers will merge from the ugliness and
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: a fly despite these storms. I spit in the face
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: of negativity. Let's go, let's go.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Let's go, let's go fly. We are a lot of fantastic.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Well, and I'll tell you I was a very hungry
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: caterpillar before.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I became that beautiful butterfly.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Your boy was munching on those on those plumbs on Wednesday,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: and you can argue, I mean before strawberries on Thursday.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I was there for him. Let's go.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Can't wait for those five ora inches tomorrow on Friday,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: and then that's Saturday that I'm gonna feast.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Oh goodness, it's gonna be funny.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Going through an ugly transform and becoming as beautiful as
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: I can relate to that. You know, it's a monarch
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: my goodness.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Also, like Maggie, tell them MLB to quit scheduling seventeen
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: games and seventeen days. It's already happened once this season,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: and that turned out the eighteen games in seventeen days
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: September is just as ugly?
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Does it happen to every team?
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: By the way, my husband is tired and hearing me
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: bitch about the Brewers schedule.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Well, Maggie, that's fine.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: You can.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: You can gripe to all your friends here on the
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: huddle as well. But it is a they only had
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: once the calendar flipped or post All.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Star breaks through.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I think they had six off days after the All
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Star break, like it was gonna stack up. The rent
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: was gonna come due. For the early season off days
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: that they got. There were a lot of Thursday off
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: in that month of April.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: In the month of August, the Brewers have had two
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: games where they've scored more than four runs, So they're
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: due for some crooked numbers. Maybe they'll come when they
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: get home after a day off Monday. We'll see, But
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: regression is real and they're due.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Maybe they just need to smack a couple of Dodger
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: dogs there you go, right, I mean, just house a
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: couple of Dodger dogs. Channel the old Babe Ruth who
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: was real PCA and then just all of a sudden,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: going and mashed like three or four homers, telling and
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: I think there's one glazer left in the box.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Dolphice coming in next and we're to see if he
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: wants it. Oh, he's gonna have to have three days
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: or it's fully fully cleaned.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Outs, right, and he's off the next couple of days,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: So Dolph will be in. It's halftime. You're in the huddle.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wiscons.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Now here's traffic from trialph Hi Drew. What's up, Fellas?
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: So plenty plenty Packers tonight against the Steelers, and we're
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: picking through what probably will have to rank as the Brewers'
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: worst loss of the year. Yesterday one that we got
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: to see unfold. Yeah, watching the highlights from Monday, I
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: thought that was stinging, and then yesterday was just you
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: got that sinking feeling in the late innings that it
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: was probably gonna happen.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: But then, okay, Brewers, you know what was the deal?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: The eleventh? Eleventh eleventh? Yeah, that was your here, we thought,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: your reprieve. Yeah, here we go. We're gonna take one
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and then carry that mo into LA And it was
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: for fifteen runners in scoring position with ten strikeouts.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: And it was it was set up pretty sweet too,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: because I was at the State Fair yesterday. While the
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: game is finishing up. I thought that we were gonna
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: be able to watch the end of the game and
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: then roll through, But we enjoyed the extra innings wandering
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: through Every TV at every bar has the game on.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: People are going crazy when they take the lead.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: The Lara catch gets a big pop in then and
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: then an instant flood out, almost like the pig races
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: letting out, where all of a sudden the stands just
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: empty and there's just a sea of people rolling through.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: That was Ghoulsby's and.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: The worst bar in every camp bar that there was.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Everybody just flooding out right after the last time. All right, well,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: I guess we can go find the potato.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Suddenly the old fashion at camp bar didn't taste quite
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: as sweet.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody wanted another turtle Sunday. I did.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: But just like the non Brewers play we talked about,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Ashby not covering first, Terrain gets thrown out trying to
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: steal as the placed runner at second base, he gets
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: thrown out for the first out there trying to steal third.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: A weird one.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: You're in scoring position, Bryce, You're fast enough to score
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: on just about any singles.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's stunk. What are you doing?
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: And then Lara in that situation, Lara gets a pitch
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: timer a strike. He loses a strike to a pitch
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: timer like a clock violation can't happen.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: No, he wanted that steal to get too changed just
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: because of like how bad they've been with runners in
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: the square position getting hits. Think the impetus was like,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: I got to create something, get of ourselves too.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Said, I don't know what, but it was a boneheaded play.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: You can't say it's it's too risky to even do it,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: but if you're gonna steal it, you can't get thrown out.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, but it's like it was out by a mile,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: And it's like.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Lockridge the other night though, like at some point you
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: do know when you get a good jump or not,
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: right like you there is a I know it's tough
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: to you have to commit or not, but like Lockridge
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: gets an awful jump the other night when he tries
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: to steal second ends the game, and it felt like
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: the same thing for its harang. It's like if you
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: know that, you don't have it get thrown out by
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: that that much. It feels like there was more of
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: a hint that you weren't going to be in there.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: What do you guys read into these players only meetings?
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: You know, it happens in every sport when you're struggling,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: and the Brewers held one yesterday after the game, you
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: get deep, you believe in this. What do you think, Drew, Yeah,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: it's like, well, it's a lot of eyewash, but it's
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: also if it works, you say, it was great and
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: it's a turning point. But a lot of teams have
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: meetings after a lot of losses and it doesn't really
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Uh my take on that is was shaped by uh,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Damian Miller, the Lacrosse native who used to be for
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: the Brewers and he played for the Diamondbacks when they
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: won the World Series and he was talking I was
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: talking to him during that run and he said, yeah,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: we had a couple of times this year where we
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: had have uh you know, we had we had we
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: had meetings, like because they had a very veteran team.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: It was they'd all seen you know, they had Matt Williams,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Luis Gonzalez counsels on there, Brandy.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Johnson, shilling.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, we've had a couple of team meetings
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: this year, but we tend to do it on the
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: days going into games when Shilling or Johnson pitch, we're
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: not idiot. We'll have the meeting and then they'll go
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: out and pitch good and we'll win again. But we
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: kind of like seated the clouds there a little bit.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: We kind of like prime the pump, like we were
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: not idiots.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Like that's brilliant.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: But he did say most most meetings in baseball are
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: stupid and eyewashed and just like, well, because it's so tough,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: you say you're clearing the air or whatever, but it's
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: like grip the batmore right, bat less try.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: To Hey, let's try to win. Let's let's try to
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: get a hit with runners and scoring.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: But I mean, I think so much of it has
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: to just be like exuding more cond fidence in each other. Again,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: as as uh nerdy as that might sound, and some
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: people think that it's it's very very waxy and too nice,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: there is something too to feel the confidence.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: This power of friendship thing.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: They're in it together and it's like I want to
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: come through in this situation to help all the other guys.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: It's not just like oh, sure itself a grandize which
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: is that's a good trait, but everybody is squeezing.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: The handle pressure on you to not let someone else.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: It's palpable when you see guys trying to like trying
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: to do too much to use their exactly exactly what
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: you're talking and and then guys are trying it's not
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: for lack of effort, but again, try easier, go, get
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: hammer hungover whatever.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: You don't think that's a bad idea. I think that's
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: probably what the theme of that meeting was.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I always say it's like people say, well, who's
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: the leader who's going to call the meeting. It's like,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: you know, leadership in baseball, especially leadership is not who
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: calls the meeting and said, let goose guys. It's who
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: gets the two run hit with two outs. That's leadership
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: to hit with two out, driving or run.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: And frankly, I don't care if it's Luis Lara or
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: or Christian Yellich as long as they win, win one
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: their rolls through here. But I am in on the
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: the go out and grab a couple with the boys
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: mantra like they're getting up to l a. Those places
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: stay open very very late on days. Let's go out
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: and I'm not saying we got to stay out till
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: five in the morning. We got to see sun up
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: and go get breakfast on Rodeo Avenue before you go
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: in here and take a nap. But go out here
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: and sorry, he's slapping on your I didn't want to know,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: but I had to do it, so sorry, Billy.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: All right, just to light in the mood here right now,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I've got it.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I've got a Rodeo Drive, little story here right on
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: the West Boulevard. My sister and brother in law came
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: out to visit, and we did a couple of days
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: in l A. And we visited Beverly Hills and we
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: were on Rodeo Drive, just just a window shop, you know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: and just to have some fun. And a couple of
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: places we went into and one was a perfume store.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: And my brother in law is hilarious. He should be
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: a stand up comedian.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: First off, he went up to the security guard and said,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: is that is that a Texas fifth?
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: He called it a Chanel number five over the window,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: and if so, how much is it? And then we
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: go into.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: A painting store where they didn't have a painting less
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: than five grand in those days, and they had some
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: as high as fifty sixty thousand dollars and against arm
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: guards around the place. And he walked up to one
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: of them and said, uh, you got any dog shooting
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: pool or playing poker.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I liked it. I'd like that for my wreck room.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: And that guy did not smile.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Damn, I was hoping all of a sudden, he said, yeah,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: and it's eighty four dollars exactly. I'll give you one
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: if you want to buy it, but I charge you.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: This n was my one and only time on Rodeo Drive.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I enjoy that. I love that one.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, listen, the dog's playing poker was a
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: stable poster.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Especially when it was in black velvet with the light
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: with black lights.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, if one.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: So, Billy and I are going to be doing packers
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: ot like. That's the one way we stay awake for
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: a West Coast game. It'll be on while we fired. Yeah,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: it's a great reason to be up. So what you
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: think of Aaron Rodgers' comments that he was bummed out
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: that the game wasn't being played in Green Bay?
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: I shared him. I shared him. I was very disappointed.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: I thought I thought the NFL should have done a
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: little IOEU. We had the conversation earlier today of like,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: how it matters if he plays or not, It won't
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: change what the overall viewing is. It would be very
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: very I would be very bummed though, if the game
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: was in Green Bay and he did play, he doesn't
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: play an act for sure, I'll feel okay about it.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I'm with you, and I just don't.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: I just don't think he's gonna So these schedules, though,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: are out.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I mean they're not out, but there it seems like
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you play the.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Same opponent in the non conference year after year, doesn't it?
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: The preseason a lot of times is is some deals
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: That's a good point.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Nels they've been playing the Steelers every single year in
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: the in the preseason. On the bit, they have played
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: them a couple of times since that. In twenty fifteen, they.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Went on a run where I think they've played the
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Browns each of the last couple of years.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: They stunted that one.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: I assume they'll play the Cardinals for the next three years,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: right until Mike is fired. Yeah, I would think they
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: could lay that in and I would They'll do something
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: there with a joint practice. They've now played the Broncos
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: the last couple of years of Infinity. Maybe for Sean,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: I wonder if you can put a request in as
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: to who you'd like to play for me. It seems
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: like the Bears always play the Browns, they always play
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: the Bills, and they always play the Chiefs.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: It just seems like those are the three teams they play.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, it feels like a Bears
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Bills preseason game has been happening since I was in
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: first grade.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's the case, but it
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: just seems like preseason.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm excited for the Bears and Colts battles
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: that are coming up here pretty soon.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Indiana, That's what I'm saying.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, big announcement maybe today, Billy you were saying I was.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: I was reading yesterday online that apparently there is a
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: an expected Bears stadium announcement coming later on here today
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: of maybe not like a full finalized deal, but one
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: that is is getting closer and closer.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Gary Bears, the Gary Bears, maybe am and Gary. Why
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: not Indiana Bears.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Something called Ben Divine is the one that had said
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: a finalized stadium deal is expected tomorrow, with the Chicago
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Bears landing in Indiana. Per source, Indiana is so heavily
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: incentivizing the deal as to include a name change to
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Indiana and the team name when the stadium completes. That
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: shockingly had four point four million views. Yes, but David
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Hall of The Score and and formally I think of
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: The Sun Times had said that sources indicate the Bears
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: are expected to make an announcement regarding the stadium project.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: They haven't addressed it for months.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Bears rep in state officials across the border that they'll
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: want to hear what the team has to say, raising
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: hopes again. So we'll see. It should be interesting coming
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: up here later on. Maybe there's a little confirmation as
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: to where they're going.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I would still be surprised if they end up across
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: the state line, although that basically is still the Chicago area.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I don't think people that live there really consider themselves
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Colts fans.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I would think more Chicago correct.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: I've known a lot of people of yours that live
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: there and commute into the city.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: It's almost the house for half the taxes.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: They think they're Southsiders. Yeah, basically socks, fans and stuff
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: down there.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: They think they're Southsiders, and a lot of the Chicago
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: is on the south side is closer in to Indiana.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: We've talked about this, you know, it's not just where,
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: you know. But in the end, is this all just
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: a game of chicken for Arlington? This is so interesting.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I think it's a game of chicken somewhere in Illinois
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: with the Illinois legislature and the government all that stuff.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think it is a game of chicken.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: But it's just ridiculous that it's gotten what.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: They might walk it all the way up to the
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: point where it's like, all right, we're calling we're doing it.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: We had to call through this. We're doing Indiana. Yeah,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Nuts, because if you want to see Snoopy and Prickly
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Pete right drew the horses.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: George Costanz has got two horses, so that you have
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: to go all the way to the end. Now, I
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: don't believe the Indiana Bears part though, that's hard to believe.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: But you never know.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Do you think the Lakers will be sold yesterday by
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: biker you.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Know, for two billion more than they were last year?
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Two and a half billion, a half billion more Jesus
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: flip teams. Now they're flipping teams like houses. My man,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Mark Walter, one of the best return rollis you've ever
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: seen in the entire world. One year, had the Lakers
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: turned in an extra two point five billion, he sat
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: and watched his team play for a year and then
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: flipped him for two and and you know what, he
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: just covered the bill on Atani, Mark Walter, owner of
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers. It just covered the bill and quadrupled it
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: for the seven hundred million or six hundred and eighty
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: two million if they still all Atani.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: If you can afford a team anywhere, La would be
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: the play other than the Cowboys because they're kind of gonna.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: They just got. The Cowboys just got evaluated as.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: The highest and most profitable, most valuable franchise at fifteen
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: and a half billion billion, and then the Rams are second, right,
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: And they reportedly were talking about the Vegas franchise. It's
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: gonna cost ten billion dollars to get into the NBA.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: They like, why on earth would we do that and
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: then have to build a brand. If all we got
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: to do is pay an extra two and a half
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: and we get.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: The biggest one like the rebuild project in Milwaukee on
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: ninety four.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Good prist keeps going up. Uh yeah.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Mark Welter from Iowa. By the way, I didn't know that.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I was not aware of that. Creighton University can make
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: it big if you go to the Northwestern for his
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: smart guy Guggenheim Partners. Well, he owns the Dodgers and
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: no longer the Lakers. No longer the Lakers, but pretty
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: good situation. Cedar Rapids, Yeah, gets done.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, the Sparks and he's got all those teams. I
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: think he also controls Chelsea in the I was gonna say, yeah.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Also, isn't that that grouping of the sports investments?
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, brands are left for him that I mean, that's wild.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Budge held the Lakers.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he sold the Lakers and made two and a
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: half billions, made two and a half billion to Bob Iger.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: And Josh Kushner Jared's brother. Yeah, and Kushner a parent's
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: baby brother. One of the big guys that that has
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: a large sum of the money.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: And Bob Iger uh runs Disney and then he's like,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: you know what, I'm gonna retire, but I gotta have
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: something I'm gonna be so bored if I don't do something,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: I might as well own the Lakers.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: When I hear stories like this, I always thinking, when
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: I retire, I'm gone. I'm going to enjoy retirement. But
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: I guess some people just always have to be doing
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: something of.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: My pop said too. And now all of a sudden
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: he's delivering a couple of days a week.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I got to get out of the house.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Was he doing the door dash thing or something or what?
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: You did anything and everything.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, here's a little bit of cash in the pocket,
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: big bills getting in Good God, What am I gonna.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Do with Mark Walter also is the main guy for
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Andretti Global Racing World. How many more can we Indy
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: and he his the spinoff Gamebridge. The insurance company that
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: they have is the Gamebridge field House. Oh yeah, and
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Indy bought the NEMA rights there.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I wonder if he'll be in Milwaukee in a couple
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: of weeks for Indy Racing. That's coming to the question.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Good question, very much mine.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: I'm excited for that he'll be in Milwaukee if he
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: wants to see the Dodgers play in the playoffs. Maybe
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: because I will be watching him this weekend.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Probably. Yeah, actually I think they were.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: I think he was sitting right there in the those
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: sweet owner's seats, right and right alongside last last.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Year, I had to look at his.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Oh wild, do you see Anton Ausio and l in
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: in San Diego? He just looked like any other Joe
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: out there hanging out washing now like a two day beer.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: A hoodie on.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: I wonder if I wonder if he helicoptered to that
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: game or if he actually had. You know, there's some
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: nice places to stay in San Diego, probably still be
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: some good ocean front.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I've made that trip. I've made that drive, but it's
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: been a long time.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: What is it an hour and a half two hours
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: we talked about I thought it.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Was about three.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: To love it when their play the Dodgers or the Angels,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Dodgers uh and Padres and had a day off in between,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I would stay at like the Dana Point Marriotte in between.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Beautiful Yeah, Cliff there, it's amazing set. I just remember
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of nothing on that trip back in the day.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: You know, the marine base is down there in ocean
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: side that area. But yeah, once you get out of
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Orange County. It gets a little, it's a little, it's
• 35:45

• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Who do you like?
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: Sadly Alex pregnant three for three last night, seven RBIs
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: on three homers for the Cubs as they shrink the
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Brewers lead in the NL Central.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: The Brewers hit three homers in a week.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good problem.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Many weeks have they gone with hitting three homers in
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: a week? That's a great if you went through the
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: entire season, how many would it be?
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Again? It is like, how are they fifth in the
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: league in run score? We might have to put Hunter
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: on that on his flight home. That might that might
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: that might.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: That might have to be a plane study for a
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Hunter to roll through. But in the not category they lived,
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: and they actually nearly had the hot category renamed after
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: the Boston Red Sox. They went twenty seven and three
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: over thirty games drew. They've now lost five straight games
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: as they drop one to the Blue Jays yesterday. So
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: all's in, all folks near Fenway and Yanquewei very frustrated.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Sky might be falling there again in Boston because they
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: might have blown their wide trying to get back into
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: the race. Now, let's see if they have enough to
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: be able to stay in it. Regression is real, it
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: starked there as well. And three it's gonna what's gonna
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: happen next? Also, hottest team in baseball or the hottest
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: team in baseball is also now the best team in baseball.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: The Tampa Bay Rays take that over over the Brewers
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: with a half game lead now for the best record
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: in baseball and a five hundredths of a point winning
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: percentage better with a nine game winning streak, and they
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: thumped the A's in that minor league park in Sacramento
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: over the last couple of days ten to six, twelve, four, eight,
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: four yesterday, and Junior Camonaro now has thirty five bombs
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: on the year, just catering all.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Over that place, and as well.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: One of the other teams that has remained as one
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: of the hotter teams in ball, Houston Astros.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: They lead the Al West.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: The Brewers are going to see the team that a
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: lot of people thought was going to be leading the
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: AL West the Seattle Mariners, who are now five and
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: a half games back. They lose six straight games at
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: this moment, so they'll probably win the final game of
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: their series coming up on Sunday and then come in
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: feeling red hot at ten games under five hundred. Right, So,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: for the way the Brewers are rolling right now, that
• 39:50
