3:04
Speaker 8: me with the grown up and Billy drove down a
3:08
Speaker 8: street last night that I often did, and I often

Speaker 8: a major sporting event, now Brewers Reds on a Tuesday night,
3:38
Speaker 8: at the end of camp and the dying days of
3:40
Speaker 8: spring training, the ultimate getaway game. I don't know how
3:43
Speaker 8: high fashion or marquis that is, but Billy and the
3:46
Speaker 8: fam took it in last night. That was awesome, Billy,
3:49
Speaker 8: the little lads got some scoreboard time, they got to
3:52
Speaker 8: enjoy life. And now I'm wondering, and this is the dilemma.
3:56
Speaker 8: Have I ruined them? What happens the next time we
3:58
Speaker 8: get seats in there in the terrace life?
4:00
Speaker 1: Oh that's just such a great point, Drew. Oh it's
4:02
Speaker 1: so true.
4:03
Speaker 8: So Daddy, I can't touch I can't touch Jet Williams
4:06
Speaker 8: from here.
4:07
Speaker 1: What are we even doing? Daddy?
4:08
Speaker 5: Where's the Why am I not standing on the glass

Speaker 1: Is this? But Carson?
4:16
Speaker 9: This is the Coca Cola family section in terrace reserved.
4:19
Speaker 9: I got you a free soda, but that doesn't Why
4:21
Speaker 9: are my toes not on the wood?
4:23
Speaker 6: Like?
4:23
Speaker 1: How does this look?
4:24
Speaker 5: Are we get to walk out onto the floor at
4:26
Speaker 5: the at the basketball game.
4:27
Speaker 1: This doesn't make any sense. I'm too far, Dad, too far.
4:30
Speaker 1: This is like family outing at the ballpark. I gotta know.
4:34
Speaker 8: I mean, it was the perfect timing to have a
4:36
Speaker 8: game at four o'clock. Well not maybe not on the
4:39
Speaker 8: back end when you're trying to put.
4:40
Speaker 1: Him to bed. That's fair, Yeah, that's fair.
4:42
Speaker 9: But kudos for you thinking of planning and planning it,
4:45
Speaker 9: not only to go to the right game where it
4:47
Speaker 9: was like you could get better tickets the star time.
4:50
Speaker 1: You know, it was good planning. By planning, it was
4:52
Speaker 1: really good planning.
4:53
Speaker 5: But it was also man shout out to the Milwaukee
4:55
Speaker 5: Brewers for the idea, right, like, I mean, just sit
4:59
Speaker 5: where you want.
4:59
Speaker 1: It's not in in season tickets. You can buy him
5:01
Speaker 1: if you want, and buy him whatever.
5:03
Speaker 5: And the first four or five rows, you know, I
5:05
Speaker 5: mean the field level I think was the only one
5:08
Speaker 5: that was on sale yesterday. There were a lot of
5:10
Speaker 5: youngsters that were saying, Dama, if I really could be
5:12
Speaker 5: in that low's level, the amount of foul balls I'd
5:14
Speaker 5: have right.
5:14
Speaker 1: Now, it would be different level.
5:17
Speaker 5: He gave some real COVID time vibes yesterday, looking out
5:20
Speaker 5: into the outfield and seeing completely empty bleachers and the
5:25
Speaker 5: lack of the pumped in crowd noise made it so
5:28
Speaker 5: one Heckler was having himself his most fun ever with
5:31
Speaker 5: the Red's first basement after he booted a couple of
5:33
Speaker 5: ground balls. But it was a tremendous, tremendous day yesterday,
5:37
Speaker 5: not only because I got to measure, no pause, my
5:42
Speaker 5: three year old son up against Jet Williams or South Freelick,
5:45
Speaker 5: because in all reality, it felt like they close to
5:49
Speaker 5: same height or at least two belt line of a
5:51
Speaker 5: number of the Milwaukee Brewers five eight kings. Dude, it
5:54
Speaker 5: was an awesome spot yesterday. And you're right, Drew, may
5:57
Speaker 5: we sit down? Dad messes up the seat number a
6:01
Speaker 5: number of times, so we walk in through the row,
6:03
Speaker 5: were sitting in the wrong seat, and we walked back.
6:05
Speaker 1: Into the row on other side. Thought that was your
6:07
Speaker 1: first time at the stadium, billity, first.
6:08
Speaker 5: Well, first time that closed, first time down the flying
6:12
Speaker 5: first class service. Yeah, almost toes on the on the dirt.
6:15
Speaker 5: I'm sitting here weaving back and forth, and I mean
6:18
Speaker 5: we did not even get the snacks out of the
6:20
Speaker 5: bag before that camera had the youngster up on the
6:24
Speaker 5: video board and he's.
6:25
Speaker 8: Like, wait, what's that.
6:28
Speaker 5: That's you, buddy, that's you man, all right sweet, and
6:30
Speaker 5: then every other inning popped up and we got a
6:33
Speaker 5: kit Alert, Kit Alert Christmas card worthy picture. Shout out
6:37
Speaker 5: to Chase uh Tracon on the Brewers video board team
6:41
Speaker 5: and everybody there, and also I mean shout out to
6:44
Speaker 5: Milwaukee Brewers for hitting a couple more home runs, Andrew
6:46
Speaker 5: Vaughan getting into the mix. Arman knows this first favorite player.
6:51
Speaker 1: Jake Bowers.
6:52
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, that must have been electric for young car
6:54
Speaker 9: sends one to the moon.
6:55
Speaker 1: So it was. It was a very very funny.
6:58
Speaker 8: After Brandon Sprude goes into the Hall of Fame, you
7:00
Speaker 8: can say I saw his first starting moent.
7:01
Speaker 9: Oh it Brolan looking pretty good, real, looking pretty good,
7:04
Speaker 9: absolutely years. And the thing is about that, now, did
7:08
Speaker 9: you didn't have any did you have any heads up you'd.
7:10
Speaker 1: Be on the screen. Was there one of those remote
7:12
Speaker 1: cameras in front of you or that was like last
7:15
Speaker 1: from the center field?
7:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, the second the second time, the time that we
7:17
Speaker 5: got the picture that I was able to post yesterday,
7:21
Speaker 5: I had no clue how one was coming.
7:22
Speaker 9: So that's even better on you for getting the picture,
7:25
Speaker 9: because that's the next stage of that.
7:26
Speaker 1: It's like, it's cool, scoreboard.
7:28
Speaker 9: We got to get that phone up as quick as possible,
7:30
Speaker 9: flip that camera app up to get a picture or else.
7:33
Speaker 1: It's like, did it even happen?
7:34
Speaker 5: Well in shout out to my friend Bart who was
7:36
Speaker 5: able to actually get the picture. Oh okay and sent
7:39
Speaker 5: it to me and it was able to So we
7:41
Speaker 5: got friends out there. You got friends out there, and
7:43
Speaker 5: also Drew U. You know again, shout out to the
7:44
Speaker 5: Milwaukee Brewers. You still do the fifty to fifty raffle.
7:49
Speaker 5: You know you're still getting yourself in there. You know
7:51
Speaker 5: you're still finding a couple of tickets. That might have
7:53
Speaker 5: been the moment where I thought about calling the hotline
7:55
Speaker 5: number if we're if we're getting the fifty to fifty
7:58
Speaker 5: raffle at the preseason baseball game. But it was a
8:00
Speaker 5: phenomenal one to be only forty five numbers away.
8:05
Speaker 9: Man, you're getting closer, Billy, you're getting closer. You get
8:08
Speaker 9: season four one of these times, you're going to get
8:10
Speaker 9: it now. The other factor here is when you don't
8:12
Speaker 9: know where you're sitting and you had to keep moving.
8:14
Speaker 1: Okay, no big deal.
8:16
Speaker 9: Only problem is when you're doing it that close and
8:18
Speaker 9: you keep checking the ticket and you look confused. It's
8:20
Speaker 9: tough because then someone might think you're trying to, you know,
8:23
Speaker 9: sneak into the section like that was the old arm
8:25
Speaker 9: and move when you you know, the old armor move
8:26
Speaker 9: when you sneak into the lower.
8:28
Speaker 1: Side of my ticket, or you.
8:30
Speaker 9: Just check it like this and you look like you
8:31
Speaker 9: know where you're going, and you just do but like
8:33
Speaker 9: you pretend you know where you're going.
8:35
Speaker 1: That's the key. But then they kick you out.
8:36
Speaker 9: You have to act like you're confusing check the ticket like, oh,
8:39
Speaker 9: hold on here, what's going on. So that's the obvious
8:42
Speaker 9: telltale sign someone tried to sneak in when they start
8:44
Speaker 9: fake checking their ticket for you, I was worried, like,
8:47
Speaker 9: maybe they're not going to think you really belong.
8:49
Speaker 1: Here, billy, and you actually about the ticket.
8:50
Speaker 5: No, And luckily it was just h you know, a
8:53
Speaker 5: dummy alert of one, two, three or eleven, twelve thirteen. Oh,
8:57
Speaker 5: we've been there. Those those are clean differences, clean difference
9:00
Speaker 5: on the different aisles.
9:01
Speaker 8: Hey man, all bets are off when you're getting up
9:03
Speaker 8: at three forty five.
9:04
Speaker 9: That's the thing I mean it's a totally you look
9:06
Speaker 9: at things through a totally different prism, as they would say, Yeah.
9:10
Speaker 1: I mean my wife has been out of town.
9:12
Speaker 8: I've been having a viking week me and the dog
9:15
Speaker 8: and uh throw everything.
9:17
Speaker 1: She's just like, yeah, how'd you guys? What do you
9:18
Speaker 1: guys do that?
9:19
Speaker 8: Mike that almost nothing, basically walked around in a fog,
9:23
Speaker 8: wondered when it was time to go to bed.
9:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, same as situations. Have you debated that?
9:28
Speaker 1: Have you debated internally the nap always? Should you should?
9:32
Speaker 7: I not?
9:33
Speaker 9: Yeah?
9:33
Speaker 1: I think you do it early and short. I think
9:35
Speaker 1: that might help. I mean it's.
9:36
Speaker 5: Actually almost tougher though, like because once you start thinking
9:39
Speaker 5: about the nap, you think about the nap, you've now
9:41
Speaker 5: put it off far enough where it probably should happen.
9:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like they should just be like involuntary.
9:47
Speaker 5: It's like a naturally, I'm gonna rest my eyes like
9:49
Speaker 5: the old dad, like, yeah, my eyes for a minute,
9:52
Speaker 5: a train or something not like an Olympic napper like
9:56
Speaker 5: our former teammate Elbaldo, who Armin's going to see this weekend.
10:00
Speaker 1: I am he could fall though nap and you know,
10:04
Speaker 1: a commercial break he.
10:05
Speaker 9: Could fall asleep in the middle of the you know,
10:07
Speaker 9: I mean I joke about this, like, let's say it's
10:09
Speaker 9: like a middle of a segment. I mean is if
10:10
Speaker 9: he's not he could fall asleep wherever he needs to
10:13
Speaker 9: fall asleep.
10:13
Speaker 1: You know, I felt that the always.
10:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think one of my favorites was our friend
10:19
Speaker 5: Aaron Nagler when we went out to the combine. It's
10:21
Speaker 5: about eight thirty nine o'clock, just layered in a big
10:25
Speaker 5: old steak at Saint Almos.
10:26
Speaker 1: You know that.
10:27
Speaker 5: There was a couple of riom cocktails in there and
10:29
Speaker 5: a couple of good cocktails. Goes, Hey, I'm gonna meet
10:33
Speaker 5: you guys out in thirty minutes. What you're gonna go
10:36
Speaker 5: change or something? No, I'm just gonna take a quick
10:38
Speaker 5: twenty minute nap.
10:41
Speaker 9: How do you do that?
10:42
Speaker 1: Man, that's the Da Vinci thing. He used to do that.
10:44
Speaker 9: You know.
10:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were try doing that once. Try to do
10:47
Speaker 1: that like that. I tried doing that. I'm gonna meet
10:49
Speaker 1: you out. I'm gonna meet you out tomorrow morning. It's
10:51
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the better sleeps that we ended
10:54
Speaker 1: up getting. Larious ability.
10:56
Speaker 9: I look to my uh my brother in law, my
10:59
Speaker 9: assist Lara's sister's husband. I looked at him the good
11:02
Speaker 9: doctor for advice. I'm like, how do you take naps
11:04
Speaker 9: and you're on these twenty four hour calls and things
11:06
Speaker 9: like that. He said, The key is you can't be
11:08
Speaker 9: in your own bed, he said, if you nap in
11:10
Speaker 9: your own bed, it won't work.
11:11
Speaker 1: Armors. You get what they'd say. That kind of screws
11:14
Speaker 1: up your sleep too.
11:14
Speaker 8: And the other thing that screws up your sleep is
11:16
Speaker 8: doing things in bed that aren't conducive to sleep, perhaps
11:21
Speaker 8: like just like watching TV.
11:22
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know that other stuff. Yeah, the activities for.
11:28
Speaker 8: Sure, But if you lounge on your bed, if you
11:31
Speaker 8: use that as like a piece of furniture like a
11:33
Speaker 8: couch and stuff during the day, then it makes it
11:36
Speaker 8: tougher at night. Should be dedicated to sleep scientists.
11:39
Speaker 1: You need to have it under your desk like a Stanza.
11:42
Speaker 1: Sleep science is like the.
11:43
Speaker 8: It's one of the the last frontiers of like the
11:46
Speaker 8: sports science. They're really getting into it now, tracking it.
11:48
Speaker 8: I'm surprised they don't make guys where aura rings like
11:50
Speaker 8: the way they make them where the tracking devices on
11:53
Speaker 8: practice fields they can see how much they're running, how
11:55
Speaker 8: much they're sweating, how much they're hydrated, and.
11:58
Speaker 1: Like the sleep thing is, you know, it's the next runt.
12:00
Speaker 1: You had nap pods in all the college that's the same.
12:03
Speaker 9: And yeah, and it's one of those things where it's
12:07
Speaker 9: it's one of the last things that can't be controlled
12:09
Speaker 9: by the team. I feel like because you can control
12:11
Speaker 9: a lot of meals. Now you can control Yeah, you
12:14
Speaker 9: can control lives. No, maybe not, well some teams do.
12:16
Speaker 9: I still laugh that.
12:18
Speaker 8: You know, football teams stay at hotels before home games.
12:21
Speaker 1: The night before hotel. Yeah, that cracks me up. But
12:23
Speaker 1: you can't make a guy fall asleep.
12:25
Speaker 8: And yeah, so a lot of those guys are getting
12:27
Speaker 8: crappier sleep than they would right, So what are we
12:30
Speaker 8: even doing?
12:30
Speaker 1: Like why are we put control? It should be more
12:34
Speaker 1: it's control.
12:34
Speaker 5: I get it, But ultimately the control for professionals might
12:38
Speaker 5: not need to be in And you guys like hockey
12:39
Speaker 5: is the most regimented thing because they have the morning
12:42
Speaker 5: skate followed by a big meal and then everybody goes
12:44
Speaker 5: down for the nap and they do it.
12:46
Speaker 8: It's like the you know, team wide want to reach
12:48
Speaker 8: somebody on a hockey team in the late afternoon.
12:50
Speaker 1: Good luck, good luck. Yeah, they're sacked out and and
12:54
Speaker 1: the uh.
12:54
Speaker 5: I think one of my favorite ones was when Hard
12:57
Speaker 5: Knocks fired it up with one of the offensive line
12:59
Speaker 5: coaches in their first meeting, says, all right, how many
13:02
Speaker 5: of you guys have a have a sleep at in
13:04
Speaker 5: me a mask? How many guys got a machine? See
13:06
Speaker 5: pat one. You're all getting them, all getting them. I'm
13:09
Speaker 5: not taking any for an answer, no matter what, figure
13:13
Speaker 5: it out. We're gonna get all of you one of those,
13:15
Speaker 5: because you are too big and too necessary for our
13:18
Speaker 5: success to not be getting a good seven to eight hours.
13:20
Speaker 8: Hilarious, eight seven seven seven nine. We're humping hot takes today,

13:41
Speaker 8: be back watching Brewers baseball. I'm very excited for this season. Also,

Speaker 8: on you. And then he went on to say that
13:53
Speaker 8: the heckler Billy is talking about was right behind my family.
13:55
Speaker 8: He was funny, but I can't believe some of the
13:57
Speaker 8: crap he said.
13:58
Speaker 1: Dude was wiling out, wiling out.
14:01
Speaker 5: One of my favorites was he asked what the opposite
14:04
Speaker 5: of a gold glove is the guy playing first base?
14:07
Speaker 8: Well, that would be the cast iron skillet. We used
14:10
Speaker 8: to say, Yeah, what is he is? He playing with
14:12
Speaker 8: a cast iron skillet back there, you know, as a
14:16
Speaker 8: skillet for a crappy field, as.
14:17
Speaker 9: A skillet, right, Robin Mitz, Right, as a guy that's
14:19
Speaker 9: been a heckler from time to time, but trying to
14:21
Speaker 9: do it still in a friendly, like funny, jovial way, like.
14:26
Speaker 1: Like the third school, third grade camp counselor way. I
14:29
Speaker 1: don't know, I just want to make everyone laugh.
14:31
Speaker 9: I'm not if it's really tough, because you're starting to
14:33
Speaker 9: get a laugh out there, you really are, Like, I
14:35
Speaker 9: gotta start doing more.
14:36
Speaker 1: I gotta ramp it up. I gotta think of more stuff.
14:38
Speaker 9: My laughs are a drug. I had eight material I
14:41
Speaker 9: only prepared for five minutes.
14:42
Speaker 1: On stage. Dobey's been there, so you have to really
14:44
Speaker 1: do it.
14:45
Speaker 9: You know.
14:45
Speaker 8: It's like me in second period, after I'd been up
14:47
Speaker 8: all night watching the late night comedy shows, you know,
14:50
Speaker 8: spitting back the material.
14:51
Speaker 1: Let me let me see how many of you guys
14:53
Speaker 1: were listening to this one.
14:54
Speaker 8: It was the only one, and I was the only
14:56
Speaker 8: one in fifth grade watching the tonight show.
14:58
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
14:59
Speaker 9: It's like it's sort of like when a substitute teacher
15:00
Speaker 9: would come in and Billy was in there, right, and
15:03
Speaker 9: he's cracking jokes for ten minutes.
15:06
Speaker 8: The theme today is that Billy got to fly first class.
15:10
Speaker 8: Billy and the family were like second row, right off
15:12
Speaker 8: the field, right second row seats at a Brewers exhibition.
15:15
Speaker 1: Even though it's a big league game. It doesn't matter.
15:17
Speaker 8: If you're at a Milkman game and sitting close brings
15:20
Speaker 8: its own juice and you expose the family to that
15:23
Speaker 8: and it's great.
15:24
Speaker 1: So you basically flew first class.
15:25
Speaker 8: And now when you go back to coach, it's gonna
15:28
Speaker 8: be a big adjustment.
15:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be tough.
15:30
Speaker 8: And so now the things we need to explore the difference, Like,
15:34
Speaker 8: obviously it is a different game, and even in spring training.
15:37
Speaker 8: The ballparks are smaller. Press boxes are closer to the field.
15:40
Speaker 8: You can hear umpire and catch your interactions. Sometimes you
15:43
Speaker 8: can catch snippets, which I'm sure you did last a
15:45
Speaker 8: lot of a lot of the Empire and stuff, which
15:47
Speaker 8: is that's a layer of the game you don't.
15:49
Speaker 1: You don't get to see.
15:50
Speaker 8: Yeah, now in the expensive seats, So where you were,
15:53
Speaker 8: I'm wondering, like the drunk Heckler in four fifty in
15:57
Speaker 8: section four to fifty shooting in the mountain.
15:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, they toy like lose steam, but I don't know.
16:01
Speaker 8: The guys closer feel like they're the players can hear
16:04
Speaker 8: them so that they're so it might be more intense.
16:06
Speaker 1: So the differences between first.
16:08
Speaker 8: Class and then the rest of the life, like the
16:11
Speaker 8: difference is like what are other differences, like better food,
16:14
Speaker 8: better service, obviously better seats. You're you're you're looking around. Oh,
16:18
Speaker 8: there's David Gruber, there's Jim Kezmer. You feel almost important
16:21
Speaker 8: literati around you, the people that you recognize. My buddy
16:25
Speaker 8: Guido the door man for years had those seats right behind.
16:27
Speaker 1: The Yeah, by the visitors, by the visitors.
16:29
Speaker 5: In every shot with the herey came well, no, no,
16:32
Speaker 5: I always appreciated the way he did it.
16:34
Speaker 9: He didn't just take the seat and use him and
16:36
Speaker 9: stay on his phone. He was an active participat so
16:38
Speaker 9: always like when you thought to yourself, when I grow up,
16:41
Speaker 9: if I have seats like that games.
16:43
Speaker 8: I got the ride shotgun with him for a couple
16:45
Speaker 8: of games, and my phone never has blown up, which
16:47
Speaker 8: as it did that.
16:49
Speaker 1: How's that beer tasting? Are you gonna get another bag
16:51
Speaker 1: of peanuts?
16:52
Speaker 8: Like?
16:52
Speaker 1: This is creepy as hell? What the hell? Being watched
16:57
Speaker 1: the Truman Show. Everybody knows like.
16:59
Speaker 5: All the and it's baseball, big brother, You're the main
17:03

Speaker 8: go to this cheap Trick show and we're sitting there
18:21
Speaker 8: and were hanging out and I'm enjoying the hockey game
18:23
Speaker 8: and I was actually looking at my phone and she's
18:26
Speaker 8: just like, and you know, Elfe, they knew where they
18:29
Speaker 8: put me. So I was a little bit set up.
18:32
Speaker 8: And I was on the jumbo tround for like ten
18:34
Speaker 8: or fifteen seconds during and you know, during the time
18:36
Speaker 8: that you guys would be talking during one of the
18:38
Speaker 8: dead time hours. Sure, and I just looked down and
18:43
Speaker 8: I refuse to look up.
18:44
Speaker 1: It was a test of wills.
18:46
Speaker 8: And the kid is telling me, Dad, Dad, we're on
18:48
Speaker 8: the jumbo trund, We're on the jump trun It's like, honey,
18:50
Speaker 8: I'm on TV every week.
18:51
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm not gonna go crazy.
18:54
Speaker 8: It's a big moment for her, and it was like
18:56
Speaker 8: but she didn't make a big deal of it either.
18:58
Speaker 8: And then it's like, yeah, yeah, it'll go away, back
19:01
Speaker 8: to action. But then I got like five texts my
19:04
Speaker 8: buddy Trapper sheep, Oh you're in the building tonight, let's
19:06
Speaker 8: let's you know, I'll meet you over and meet you
19:08
Speaker 8: in between periods. I had a bunch of people, Oh,
19:10
Speaker 8: you're at the Admirals game, so that was cool. The TV,
19:13
Speaker 8: the Fox Sports Wisconsin thing, the bombarded during the Bird
19:16
Speaker 8: game was a distraction, but it was only people in
19:18
Speaker 8: the arena.
19:19
Speaker 1: That's something.
19:19
Speaker 5: Yes, when there's an immediate ability for a payoff and
19:22
Speaker 5: a Coors Light or a Miller.
19:25
Speaker 7: Beer.
19:25
Speaker 1: Oh you're gonna are you gonna go? Are you on
19:27
Speaker 1: the ice for the show, Like what are you gonna?
19:29
Speaker 1: You know?
19:29
Speaker 5: It makes that one a lot better, Yes, a lot different.
19:32
Speaker 5: You get some instant I was.
19:34
Speaker 8: I was steelying my resolve to not look up at
19:36
Speaker 8: the jumbo tround because I would resist the urge to
19:39
Speaker 8: probably flip it off or something, and then that's gonna
19:43
Speaker 8: follow me around.
19:43
Speaker 9: At least it wasn't all. At least it wasn't like
19:46
Speaker 9: a call to action cam like raise the roof came, or.
19:48
Speaker 1: You also could have been on that reverse cam when
19:50
Speaker 1: you're eating. Reverse cam is Oh that's discussing. I gotta say.
19:55
Speaker 9: It does make me happy to know because this generation,
19:57
Speaker 9: younger generations are not are used to being on camera
20:01
Speaker 9: more than any other civilization there used to be on
20:04
Speaker 9: camera good eight K cameras too. Yeah, I think they
20:07
Speaker 9: would be desensitized by it. But I mean we know
20:09
Speaker 9: what Billy working the game, working the school day game.
20:12
Speaker 9: Those little kids do in the Fortnite dances. Just yeah,
20:17
Speaker 9: they're just begging you can I get on the video board,
20:19
Speaker 9: And I'm like, I love that you saw the passion
20:21
Speaker 9: to be on screen when literally you can be doing
20:23
Speaker 9: that at any time on your phone.
20:25
Speaker 8: They stopped, Yeah, but they still stop walking into Target.
20:27
Speaker 8: They see the closed circuit and they're like, it's fun.
20:31
Speaker 9: It's like my twenty month old daughter the first time
20:33
Speaker 9: she sees yourself in a mirror, It's like, is that me?
20:38
Speaker 1: That's me? Nothing was that.
20:41
Speaker 5: Nothing was better for that than when we went down
20:43
Speaker 5: to the snowbirding grandparents and uh, you know, in any
20:46
Speaker 5: condo down in Florida, you gotta have the Florida ceiling mirrors.
20:49
Speaker 5: My mother could not hate those things more, right, I mean,
20:51
Speaker 5: like the interior decorator. She's like, this is the grossest
20:54
Speaker 5: thing of all time. Those two went down there. It
20:58
Speaker 5: was the greatest party they had ever seen.
21:00
Speaker 1: No tower in a funhouse. Yeah, all right, so awesome.
21:03
Speaker 8: Today's theme Tales from the Front row tails from first
21:07
Speaker 8: class when of you had that Wanka ticket that Billy
21:09
Speaker 8: had last night at the Brewers game. Godam second row seats.
21:13
Speaker 8: I mean you could make that happen on a Tuesday
21:15
Speaker 8: night in July too, But it's just not the same.
21:17
Speaker 8: It's like you had like an relatively empty stadium and
21:21
Speaker 8: drew atmosphere. And you know this, You've been to a
21:25
Speaker 8: million vps.
21:26
Speaker 5: So the ball prop when you hear somebody say the
21:28
Speaker 5: ball off their bat just sounds different. It sounds different
21:32
Speaker 5: when you're that close to the bat. Oh yeah, when
21:34
Speaker 5: they're pumping a hondo and you're hitting and the crack
21:37
Speaker 5: of the bat is rolling, you feel a different type
21:39
Speaker 5: of energy. And then when the ball actually does fly
21:41
Speaker 5: out of the park, yeah, you can hear a little
21:43
Speaker 5: bit difference on that one.
21:44
Speaker 8: It's funny because I'd be talking to guys and uh
21:46
Speaker 8: Sorilla always used to tell me, no, don't turn your
21:48
Speaker 8: back on the field. If I was standing facing the
21:50
Speaker 8: dugout and he was at third bait, he would like
21:52
Speaker 8: a love baseballs at me, like, don't turn your back
21:53
Speaker 8: on the field. You always test me, don't turn me
21:56
Speaker 8: back on the field. But if I was there were
21:57
Speaker 8: times when I'd be talking to a coach and you're
22:00
Speaker 8: just like it's a normal conversation, and then someone would
22:03
Speaker 8: hit one like that, one of those rockets, and they toronto.
22:05
Speaker 1: Who is that? What was? Like that happens?
22:08
Speaker 8: It's been NonStop bat Hickory meeting horse Hide for like
22:11
Speaker 8: a half hour. And then the coach be like, wait
22:13
Speaker 8: a minute, who hit that? Whoa was?
22:15
Speaker 1: Different? Ones that just make.
22:18
Speaker 5: It is the most impressive thing ever. First, and you
22:22
Speaker 5: sit that close. I've never understood how you hit a baseball.
22:25
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Never don't understand.
22:27
Speaker 9: Those are the nastiest things coming in and when they're moving, like.
22:30
Speaker 8: When you're that close like I've been, I've been on
22:32
Speaker 8: the field when guys are throwing pens and stuff, and
22:34
Speaker 8: like you can hear all fastball coming and then when
22:37
Speaker 8: you hear it as it's zooming in and about to
22:40
Speaker 8: hit the glove is.
22:41
Speaker 9: Speaking of zooming in, we're gonna talk about it. But
22:44
Speaker 9: like a guy like Miz, for instance, I'm not even
22:46
Speaker 9: talking about Mike Dejon around that thing.
22:48
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Mizz. They can throw it, nastiest thing.
22:51
Speaker 9: And he was on mccabee yesterday and McCabe wants to
22:54
Speaker 9: throw his armouth to raise some money. He was cracking
22:56
Speaker 9: McAfee up what he was. That's a good pairing those two.
22:59
Speaker 9: So we'll get that piece of audio.

Speaker 8: So Billy enjoyed the Brewers victory last night, and the
24:23
Speaker 8: last wasn't technically a Cactus League game because it wasn't
24:26
Speaker 8: in Arizona, but it was still counted as an exhibition preseason.
24:29
Speaker 5: Good spring training game, my wife's training game. My wife said,
24:31
Speaker 5: we had to go to spring training this year.
24:33
Speaker 8: So yeah, so you didn't make it happen, all right, didn't.
24:35
Speaker 8: It wasn't one hundred and six degrees, thank you.
24:38
Speaker 5: It was thirsty weather on the burm and not the
24:40
Speaker 5: two brand for the airbnb, which also was nice.
24:43
Speaker 8: I had some friends who went last week, and a
24:46
Speaker 8: friend of mine, huge Brewers fan, goes to a ton
24:48
Speaker 8: of games and he'd never been a spring training I'm like, oh,
24:50
Speaker 8: you're gonna love it.
24:50
Speaker 1: When are you leaving?
24:51
Speaker 8: He's like, oh, we're leaving Wednesday. Like, oh, it's gonna
24:53
Speaker 8: be like one hundred and five.
24:54
Speaker 9: Yeah.
24:55
Speaker 8: Check the schedule because they moved, they slid some games
24:58
Speaker 8: to night to avoid.
24:59
Speaker 1: The the They're twenty five degrees above normal craziness.
25:03
Speaker 8: It's like, I don't remember many triple digit days in
25:06
Speaker 8: spring training, like you get February March in Phoenix is
25:09
Speaker 8: just chamber of commerce weather. It's mostly like it is
25:12
Speaker 8: pulstcard stuff. I always called it like my retirement weather.
25:15
Speaker 8: Wherever I retire, I want it to be like this every day,
25:17
Speaker 8: right every day, like seventy five during the.
25:19
Speaker 1: Day and like nicely night.
25:21
Speaker 8: Yeah, where where you might wear a sweater at night.
25:24
Speaker 1: You want to, but you don't need to.
25:25
Speaker 8: But you know, if I moved there, I think the
25:27
Speaker 8: first like five years, I would only need a good
25:31
Speaker 8: iron Jack hoodie.
25:32
Speaker 1: I was going to say a lightweight iron Jack hoodies
25:35
Speaker 1: life chain.
25:36
Speaker 8: It's funny though, because when it gets to be fifty there,
25:39
Speaker 8: god forbid, dips into like the forties, they act like
25:42
Speaker 8: it's ark it's like an Arctic expedition.
25:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's our snowe Yeah. Oh my god. They're getting
25:47
Speaker 1: right on the radio shows, all the North Face stuff.
25:50
Speaker 1: It's like, really, come on, you know.
25:52
Speaker 9: I was also thinking with the Brewers coming up a
25:55
Speaker 9: couple of days earlier, it just makes the turnaround easier.
25:57
Speaker 9: Lara was wondering yesterday, asking me is like, you know,
26:01
Speaker 9: we're seeing the Twins in the Red Sox. They're still
26:03
Speaker 9: in floorists, aren't. Aren't they going to have to come
26:05
Speaker 9: up pretty quick? And it's gonna be a quick turn.
26:07
Speaker 9: I'm like, yeah, they're still down there, But then the
26:09
Speaker 9: Brewers aren't. I was explaining to the Bruis and these
26:11
Speaker 9: exhibition games, and she's like, why does every team do that?
26:13
Speaker 9: I'm like, that's a good question. I mean, I guess
26:15
Speaker 9: everybody has great weather. That is a great weather in America.
26:17
Speaker 9: Do weel with a dome?
26:19
Speaker 1: That's the thing? Yeah, And I don't know.
26:20
Speaker 8: I mean, the Brewers this it's not a money making proposition.
26:24
Speaker 8: These games weren't like part of the TV package. No,
26:27
Speaker 8: it's like a practice.
26:28
Speaker 1: So it was almost like, yeah, it's a thing.
26:30
Speaker 8: They're like, oh, make sure the toilets flush make sure
26:32
Speaker 8: the ushers know where the new rushers get oriented so
26:34
Speaker 8: they're not confused.
26:36
Speaker 1: On opening day, great great trial run for the parking folks.
26:39
Speaker 5: They had the whole squad of like ten or twelve
26:42
Speaker 5: huddled together and making sure that everybody was getting getting
26:45
Speaker 5: themselves logistically.
26:46
Speaker 1: And then we talked to Marty Ronsky or Rick s Ussnger.
26:49
Speaker 8: They're like, yeah, these are really good, you know, for
26:51
Speaker 8: us to make sure everything's good, ready to rock and
26:53
Speaker 8: roll when you get inundated on Thursday. And then Friday,
26:56
Speaker 8: all the tourists will be gone. We'll be back to normal.
26:57
Speaker 8: Friday will feel more like, yeah, like a normal last
27:00
Speaker 8: couple of nights.
27:01
Speaker 5: That was the tough thing of Friday Saturday, because they're
27:05
Speaker 5: off Friday, which was.
27:06
Speaker 1: Still the dumbest thing in the world. Is weird.
27:08
Speaker 5: If indeed it was that husband and wife that were
27:10
Speaker 5: still making the MLB schedule, they would not have made
27:12
Speaker 5: that mistake. They would not have put that built in
27:14
Speaker 5: off day there because they knew that we have a study.
27:16
Speaker 1: A couple of those two are the best. Yeah, we've
27:18
Speaker 1: had a couple of those, but.
27:19
Speaker 5: The one one part drew of the of realizing and
27:23
Speaker 5: wanting and the youngster saying like, wow, so this is
27:25
Speaker 5: how life is. So so we get to go to
27:27
Speaker 5: we get to go to the hockey game. I get
27:29
Speaker 5: a park, I get to go down by the eyes,
27:31
Speaker 5: go to a baseball game. I'm basically getting sprayed by
27:34
Speaker 5: the pine tar spray that they're putting on the handle.
27:36
Speaker 1: Each time.
27:37
Speaker 5: You could hear the bat crack. Yeah, I said, well,
27:40
Speaker 5: the bruise play on Thursday. We should go to that game.
27:43
Speaker 5: It's like, well, that's a that's a great thought, buddy,
27:45
Speaker 5: but that's not in our wheelhouse quite yet. He goes, well,
27:49
Speaker 5: I'm older now, so I can. The baked in confidence
27:55
Speaker 5: is something that you know. Once you're sitting there that close,
27:57
Speaker 5: you just start getting swelled up with a radition.
28:00
Speaker 8: Though your mom took you to opening days, correct, Yeah,
28:03
Speaker 8: starting when I was ten, So your mom took you
28:05
Speaker 8: to opening days.
28:05
Speaker 1: You had that experience.
28:06
Speaker 8: And when he gets to be ten, that's maybe when
28:09
Speaker 8: and then but you were ten years old. It's again,
28:12
Speaker 8: we've talked about it. It's crested. The shamrock shuffle is
28:15
Speaker 8: the young people's rate of spring now to get hammered.
28:17
Speaker 1: It's an opening day.
28:18
Speaker 8: That's where mom and dad used to go get crazy
28:21
Speaker 8: and have their winters over you know ritual, the pagan
28:24
Speaker 8: ritual that is that used to be Opening Day where
28:28
Speaker 8: you know, seventy percent of the people were bouncing off
28:31
Speaker 8: the walls and twenty percent of the people were puking.
28:34
Speaker 5: Yes, and the one guy was still peeing in section
28:37
Speaker 5: one fourteen.
28:37
Speaker 9: The other ten percent is like, come on, who's watched
28:40
Speaker 9: guys watching baseball?
28:41
Speaker 1: It was this is about baseball, were schooling.
28:43
Speaker 8: Car It was like trying to have a common council
28:47
Speaker 8: meeting in the middle of spring break Codderdale or something
28:50
Speaker 8: like the middle of a wet t shirt contest over
28:52
Speaker 8: there or something.
28:53
Speaker 5: Opening Day, man was like the first time that I
28:56
Speaker 5: knew that the shuttles existed, and I kind of thought
28:58
Speaker 5: they were only opening day shuttles, right because like every
29:01
Speaker 5: cornerbar was running something to a game and being able
29:04
Speaker 5: to drop a little squad off at.
29:05
Speaker 8: And I figured I knew that having this availability and stuff,
29:09
Speaker 8: I thought it might lessen the.
29:11
Speaker 1: Crush on Thursday.
29:12
Speaker 8: But Thursday, the media crush is always you know, that's
29:16
Speaker 8: where all the stations from Wassaw and up north, everybody
29:19
Speaker 8: comes and then they disappear.
29:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, but but I.
29:23
Speaker 8: Thought they would, you know, like people who wanted to
29:25
Speaker 8: interview miss they had did a couple of days a
29:27
Speaker 8: crack at him totally, and like and for especially for
29:30
Speaker 8: the outlets that didn't cover spring training, which you know,
29:33
Speaker 8: a lot of budgets have been cut. Our own Hunter
29:35
Speaker 8: Bombart didn't go to Arizona this year either, so he
29:38
Speaker 8: got to get some interviews. By the way, we'll be
29:41
Speaker 8: listening to Hunter's recap of last night's festivities momentarily.
29:45
Speaker 1: In fact, we probably do that next segment.
29:46
Speaker 5: But Drew, you're right, like for the for the lack
29:49
Speaker 5: of availability to spring training, because like I mean, we
29:52
Speaker 5: have we have stations and newspapers cutting their entire sports departments,
29:55
Speaker 5: so like the amount of accessibility to the players and
29:59
Speaker 5: to the stories hasn't necessarily come up. It's a great
30:02
Speaker 5: chance for it. It's a great chance for everybody to
30:04
Speaker 5: be able to be in the ballpark for the first time,
30:07
Speaker 5: for the four hundred levels folks to become one hundred
30:09
Speaker 5: level viewers. But also I mean for us to get
30:11
Speaker 5: our first eyes on Brandon Sprote and Kyle Harrison. They
30:15
Speaker 5: made a lot of people forget about the tradings away
30:19
Speaker 5: of a fifty one and a twenty one yesterday because
30:22
Speaker 5: both looked really good.
30:24
Speaker 1: Both were very, very fun. Sprote was phenomenal, and I
30:27
Speaker 1: get it.
30:28
Speaker 5: We're going you're going up against a big league lineup
30:30
Speaker 5: that was incentivized to swing. I don't know that I've
30:33
Speaker 5: seen that many that swing percentage in terms of pitches
30:38
Speaker 5: that you sing ever see get your hacks in.
30:41
Speaker 1: They're calling him an inch off the plate.
30:43
Speaker 5: It had the U twelve feel that way to it yesterday,
30:46
Speaker 5: but he was he was mixing it up, he was
30:48
Speaker 5: moving around and the only solo shot from Ellie de
30:51
Speaker 5: la Cruz and a sweet celebration. It's hard to beat
30:55
Speaker 5: the day that you were able to get yesterday if
30:57
Speaker 5: you're just there taking some ball and relax. It did
31:00
Speaker 5: feel like the Saturday crowd that takes the deep breath
31:03
Speaker 5: during the second ingle.
31:06
Speaker 1: I'm just so glad the real baseball fans out here,
31:09
Speaker 1: I'm just so glad. I'm so glad.
31:12
Speaker 5: But let's embrace that because Drew, You're You're onto it.
31:17
Speaker 5: It's not as much of a benchmark Milwaukee Holiday as
31:21
Speaker 5: it had always been, and I think we need to
31:23
Speaker 5: try to get back.
31:24
Speaker 8: To that well be able to get Sas is bringing
31:28
Speaker 8: it back, the bands and the pregame and the tent outside.
31:31
Speaker 8: He's got alternative parking if you look east down State
31:34
Speaker 8: Street from SAS's establishment at fifty fifth in State. So
31:38
Speaker 8: Sas is doing his part on the fiftieth anniversary. In fact,
31:40
Speaker 8: I'll probably be dropping by there after our show on Thursday.
31:44
Speaker 8: We might have to drop by, a billy and grab
31:46
Speaker 8: a snack on the way into the yard.
31:47
Speaker 5: I guess I'm gonna have to have some ribs delicious ballpark. God,
31:54
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to have sour creaman shive for nothing
31:56
Speaker 5: like having those, you know, on a chillier day, maybe
31:59
Speaker 5: warm delicious.
32:00
Speaker 1: But you know, I get your point, Billy.
32:02
Speaker 9: Do you think it's become You think it's because the
32:04
Speaker 9: Brews have won so much now this era that it
32:06
Speaker 9: has become more transactional. Like it's like are you gonna
32:09
Speaker 9: be good or not today? Like I'm gonna go up,
32:10
Speaker 9: you guys are good. It's this team exciting, you know,
32:13
Speaker 9: because the Yankees series that take the starts out of
32:15
Speaker 9: that a little bit, I think for people. But that's true,
32:17
Speaker 9: You're right, it does seem a little bit more transactional
32:19
Speaker 9: than it used to be. That's about like we're going
32:21
Speaker 9: for the love of like being here with each other
32:23
Speaker 9: and the right of passage and more like I'm not
32:26
Speaker 9: doing it this year.
32:27
Speaker 1: I mean, we won ninety games. Again, We're gonna lose
32:29
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers.
32:30
Speaker 8: There is there is more juice for a Friday night
32:33
Speaker 8: in May than there used to be.
32:34
Speaker 1: That's true. The ballpark is throughout the summer.
32:37
Speaker 8: The ballpark's place, because it used to be like, all right,
32:39
Speaker 8: we'll go in for a lot of people that opening day,
32:41
Speaker 8: especially in the County Stadium here when fifty four thousand
32:44
Speaker 8: people that's the one game they went.
32:45
Speaker 1: So that's the flip side of it.
32:46
Speaker 8: And it could be it could be awful, but you know,
32:49
Speaker 8: and then and then maybe they would go to a
32:51
Speaker 8: high fashion series in July or August, but there weren't
32:54
Speaker 8: many of those, right, true, So it is it's more
32:56
Speaker 8: of an ongoing concern. They've done a good job. The
32:58
Speaker 8: ballpark's a good place. Goes still affordable. They've kept the
33:00
Speaker 8: ballpark's nice. They're always updating and sprucing things up. Uh,
33:04
Speaker 8: it's it's a good Probably, it's eighty you got eighty
33:07
Speaker 8: one chances you don't have to be at the first game,
33:10
Speaker 8: but it's just it's not what it was where it
33:12
Speaker 8: used to be you had to be. It felt like
33:14
Speaker 8: you let you missed out, You missed the party of
33:15
Speaker 8: the year if there.
33:16
Speaker 5: Was big time social capital, like and you're right, it
33:20
Speaker 5: was the party of the year. Now the parking lots
33:22
Speaker 5: are still going to be an absolute riot tomorrow.
33:24
Speaker 1: Like let's not let's not say.
33:25
Speaker 5: It's not nice chance of rain, but pretty nice out,
33:28
Speaker 5: but let's let's make sure that we're continuing to drive
33:30
Speaker 5: home the fact like, hey, you can take the one
33:33
Speaker 5: day of truancy if you're talking about a middle schooler, right,
33:38
Speaker 5: or if you're talking about a college kid, which I
33:40
Speaker 5: did four different times during the years. Those were Those
33:42
Speaker 5: are some fun mornings in college where say, all right,
33:45
Speaker 5: we got to find the cheapest ticket in this park,
33:46
Speaker 5: knowing we're never going to actually get to.
33:48
Speaker 9: This was taking the thirty bus down Wisconsin Avenue.
33:52
Speaker 1: That was the thing.
33:52
Speaker 9: I mean, there were just opportunities in the early two
33:55
Speaker 9: thousands of go to games if it was an opening day,
33:58
Speaker 9: because there'd be eight thousand people the next day. So
34:00
Speaker 9: you're right, Billy, you know, gotta find ways to get
34:02
Speaker 9: everyone excited about that?
34:04
Speaker 1: Is that the idea? I think?
34:05
Speaker 6: So?
34:06
Speaker 1: Yeah.
34:07
Speaker 5: Now we had some folks already our seven to one
34:10
Speaker 5: to five is checking in from o'claire saying, I'm not
34:12
Speaker 5: seeing any spectrum channel.
34:13
Speaker 1: It's Carry and Brewers and e Claire.
34:15
Speaker 5: I got a feeling there's gonna be a lot of
34:17
Speaker 5: screaming tomorrow. It's not showing anything on the TV guide
34:19
Speaker 5: channel three oh eight. The guides have been wrong before.
34:23
Speaker 5: We'll see seven five. I do believe we're gonna hear
34:25
Speaker 5: tomorrow where the other games are going to be. But
34:28
Speaker 5: check out tomorrow. Game will be on crestrial television. Yeah,
34:34
Speaker 5: over the year there, but there's.
34:35
Speaker 8: No you know, it's like, yeah, you'll find it soon up,
34:39
Speaker 8: but there's no programming like there isn't. That's the tough thing, yes, thing,
34:43
Speaker 8: it's like, this isn't a full service channel that.
34:46
Speaker 1: You're looking for the pre game.
34:47
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's like it's gonna be a dead station. It's
34:50
Speaker 8: not like you can leave it on like you did
34:52
Speaker 8: with Fan duel.
34:52
Speaker 9: You're not gonna see do North outdoors afterwards? No, no
34:55
Speaker 9: like that.
34:56
Speaker 5: But what are they gonna do with Sophia's Dominican Republic base.
35:00
Speaker 1: I don't know. We haven't wait for rainde Lace. I've
35:03
Speaker 1: been waiting to see that.
35:03
Speaker 8: Yeah, random Eventually, No, eventually, they want this channel to
35:07
Speaker 8: have more programming and stuff.
35:08
Speaker 1: But right now it's just getting off the ground. I
35:11
Speaker 1: was gonna say, but it's the ground floor.
35:12
Speaker 8: It is amazing the amount of people freaking out that
35:15
Speaker 8: they don't know what channel to find the game on. Like,
35:17
Speaker 8: it's okay, just think about it as a Friday night
35:20
Speaker 8: when you realize, oh, it's on it's on Peacock tonight.
35:22
Speaker 9: Yeah, because I'm telling you I know the DNA people.
35:26
Speaker 9: It's like the same thing with like I don't have
35:27
Speaker 9: my admirals think it's the on armor and okay, dad,
35:29
Speaker 9: hold on. It's that deep down they feel like they're
35:32
Speaker 9: not going to get it. Deep down they feel like
35:34
Speaker 9: the rug will be pulled and they're not going to
35:36
Speaker 9: be able to watch.
35:36
Speaker 1: The Brewers, and that that idea is painful.
35:39
Speaker 8: Will you know, Well, there will be if they can't
35:42
Speaker 8: get it up on on the Bird and people who
35:43
Speaker 8: are cable subscribers who have been told don't worry, don't
35:46
Speaker 8: worry there they will freak out and bitch.
35:48
Speaker 1: That's what I mean, you know, get ten dollars off.
35:52
Speaker 5: Well and take it up with the cable companies and
35:54
Speaker 5: no longer take it up with the Brewers, right like,
35:57
Speaker 5: that was the one thing that was the one piece
35:59
Speaker 5: that I learned last week Drew when rix Lessinger talked
36:02
Speaker 5: about it, and he's been pretty open about it. Hey,
36:04
Speaker 5: we don't have much control now, yeah, right, major League
36:06
Speaker 5: Baseball is making the decisions, they're they're having the negotiations,
36:10
Speaker 5: they're doing.
36:10
Speaker 1: The calls going to be.
36:12
Speaker 5: We don't have a whole lot to do other than
36:14
Speaker 5: let you know, once it ends up there.
36:15
Speaker 9: It has nothing to do with the Brewers being cheap.
36:17
Speaker 9: Sorry now, for goodness sakes, it has nothing to do
36:20
Speaker 9: with Hunter. Stop innundating questions. He doesn't know, but he's
36:24
Speaker 9: a young guy, so he should know this stuff. Though,
36:26
Speaker 9: Oh we don't know the Brewers channel yet. All these comments,
36:29
Speaker 9: it's still funny. I spiced up Hunter a little bit
36:32
Speaker 9: on it last week, though. I think I think I
36:34
Speaker 9: think knows. He's just not dolling us guys.
36:36
Speaker 1: I think Hunter does know. I think he does.
36:38
Speaker 8: I think we should call it probably probably eight seven
36:41
Speaker 8: seven seven, nine seven to three. Billy's coming down after
36:45
Speaker 8: being in first class. Nothing better on the flight last
36:47
Speaker 8: night at American Family Field, second row seats, you'd have
36:51
Speaker 8: been rubbing elbows with the ownership group if it'd have been.
36:54
Speaker 5: Well, Drew, I'm glad you said that they did have
36:56
Speaker 5: the They did have the usher still standing guard on
36:58
Speaker 5: Marque's seats. I thought like, hey, why don't we so

Speaker 6: The exhibition finale took place for the Milwaukee Brewers on
39:29
Speaker 6: Tuesday afternoon. They beat the Reds four to one. Brandon
39:32
Speaker 6: Sprote with the one to start the game.
39:33
Speaker 1: He went four.
39:34
Speaker 6: Innings of shoutout baseball. He's going to get the start
39:36
Speaker 6: on Sunday in the series finale against the Chicago White Sox.
39:38

39:40
Speaker 6: Yesterday, Brewers manager Pat Murphy told us the story of
39:43
Speaker 6: how he told Brandon Sprote that he's on the opening
39:45
Speaker 6: day roster. It's a funny story and Murph fashion right.
39:48
Speaker 6: But Brandon Sprote was hearing that he was on the
39:50
Speaker 6: opening day roster through his teammates. Pat Murphy heard that.
39:55
Speaker 6: Saw him in the hallway, and you can hear the
39:57
Speaker 6: rest for yourself.
39:58
Speaker 7: So I saw him in the hallway. I was from
40:01
Speaker 7: here to the videographers away, and so he's broke. You're
40:04
Speaker 7: on the team. Deal with it, Okay, that's pretty funny.
40:08
Speaker 7: First time I ever let anybody know across the room
40:10
Speaker 7: or you know, down the hall and just tell him
40:13
Speaker 7: to deal with.
40:13
Speaker 6: It against Brote to start on Sunday. It was made
40:16
Speaker 6: a trade on Tuesday afternoon as well, sending prospect Casey
40:19
Speaker 6: Hunt to the Rays for Jake Woodford. He's a veteran
40:22
Speaker 6: bullpen guy could start if they needed to, but mostly
40:25
Speaker 6: out of the bullpen. He is going to be used,
40:28
Speaker 6: and he's a guy who's been there, done that. He's
40:30
Speaker 6: a right hander. They have a lot of lefties out there,
40:32
Speaker 6: so this will help adding a veteran right hander to
40:35
Speaker 6: that bullpen. GM Matt Arnold saying they've had an eye
40:38
Speaker 6: on him for a long time and excited to get
40:41
Speaker 6: him in the mix. This video brought to you by

41:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, there you go for reserved. I liked that you've
41:02
Speaker 5: been sitting on that. Matt Arnold didn't know. I didn't
41:04
Speaker 5: know armand was so bourbon literate. I was gonna say,
41:07
Speaker 5: coming out of the winter, and he's got.
41:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I might not. I don't necessarily drink got
41:12
Speaker 1: such hair on your chests. You've been drinking the brown,
41:14
Speaker 1: you know what.
41:15
Speaker 9: I don't necessarily drink it that much, but every now
41:17
Speaker 9: and then, or you're going to this week though. I
41:19
Speaker 9: do look at the labels in the grocery store though.
41:21
Speaker 9: But yeah, but this week, maybe all you're gonna be
41:23
Speaker 9: with this squad out there in Vegas.
41:25
Speaker 8: Ye.
41:25
Speaker 1: Now, the the.
41:27
Speaker 5: Acquisition of Woodford we kind of talked about was that
41:30
Speaker 5: last week on hot Day, hot Te hump Day or
41:33
Speaker 5: we kind of brought it up of would they bring
41:34
Speaker 5: in some kind of a veteran would they try to
41:37
Speaker 5: find somebody else to supplement? He mentioned, I know Matt
41:41
Speaker 5: Arnold did that. He's a bullpen Guy's pitched out of
41:43
Speaker 5: there a lot. He did also, I think say he
41:46
Speaker 5: could open games for us, or he could be first
41:49
Speaker 5: up in some games. Yeah, maybe the right handed rob
41:52
Speaker 5: Ze for a for a pitching staff that's pretty left
41:54
Speaker 5: handed dominant, and rob Z's on the comeback trail as
41:58
Speaker 5: his Priester and Yoho too, They're gonna have options.
42:01
Speaker 1: They're going to use a lot of guys, yeah, just
42:03
Speaker 1: are for I don't know if there were any big
42:06
Speaker 1: k C. Hunt fans.
42:07
Speaker 5: I don't We didn't check in on Gasper to give
42:09
Speaker 5: us his stats on low a ball last year.
42:11
Speaker 1: I'm sure he didn't like it, but I can't think
42:13
Speaker 1: he was happy.
42:14
Speaker 5: How can they give up Casey Hunt, Casey Hunt, the
42:17
Speaker 5: guy was gonna be the next mic like, how could
42:20
Speaker 5: you possibly let him go?
42:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, what were you thinking? Unbelievable. That's a difficult one
42:25
Speaker 1: to lose anyway, and I.
42:28
Speaker 9: That was well done, well done, but we will have
42:30
Speaker 9: to get wood.
42:33
Speaker 1: That's a good one right there.
42:34
Speaker 9: Well, you know, I thought it was right there as
42:36
Speaker 9: badially the fact that he might be in there as
42:39
Speaker 9: a bullpen guy.
42:40
Speaker 1: Just in case that type of thing. So eight seven
42:42
Speaker 1: seven seven nine four one nine seven three.
42:44
Speaker 5: Jeff and Fox Points and my in laws had tickets
42:46
Speaker 5: to the Brewers back in the old eighties.
42:48
Speaker 1: County Stadium days.
42:49
Speaker 5: When Miller Park opened, they were given second row seats
42:52
Speaker 5: and I've had them ever since. My wife and I
42:55
Speaker 5: are our own season ticket holders in the club level,
42:58
Speaker 5: but when we bring the kids to the game, we
42:59
Speaker 5: usual sit in the grandparents' second row seats. And when
43:02
Speaker 5: I get to sit down there, like yesterday, it's an
43:04
Speaker 5: amazing moment watching the pitches, the movement of the pitches,
43:07
Speaker 5: the sound of the ball hitting the bat. Being so
43:08
Speaker 5: close to the action is next level, Jeff in fox Point,
43:12
Speaker 5: it really is. Andrew, you mentioned like obviously yesterday. Think us,
43:15
Speaker 5: we're twenty five bucks. So it's a lot easier to
43:17
Speaker 5: sit in that position. Yeah, for a exhibition game, but
43:21
Speaker 5: on a random Tuesday in May. The accessibility to those games,
43:27
Speaker 5: those seats the life changing, uh maybe you know, prospective
43:32
Speaker 5: changing seats a lot more accessible there than they are
43:36
Speaker 5: when you get those toes on the wood deal at
43:38
Speaker 5: the end in the NBA.
43:39
Speaker 1: But those are a different piece too.
43:41
Speaker 5: That's where you start hearing some different stuff and get
43:44
Speaker 5: a different appreciation for the ball.
43:46
Speaker 8: Absolutely, eight seven seven three. It's a hot take hump day.
43:50
Speaker 8: We're going to get to those. We got Dolph coming
43:53
Speaker 8: and Greene as well.
43:55
Speaker 1: Loaded. We're loaded, Let's go to the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin,
