0:30
Speaker 2: as we're watching and getting a little bit into the
0:32
Speaker 2: joint practices and hearing more and more out of these
0:35
Speaker 2: rookies dialed in on Packers Cam talks more about that
0:38
Speaker 2: start us up. William Arman's boy Friendando Mendoza. Oh yeah,
0:44
Speaker 2: I think I think I'm going to be done listening
0:45
Speaker 2: to every interview that it fan Mendoz ever does well.
0:48
Speaker 2: After a while, it does become a little.
0:50
Speaker 1: Most boring athletes to come out in the last ten Oh.
0:53
Speaker 2: My god, he was on the uh was he is?
0:56
Speaker 2: He was born? The right word? Or just like prepare polished.
1:00
Speaker 2: It's like trying to be trying to be Ryan Braun
1:04
Speaker 2: while very smart, right, like, because he is a very
1:07
Speaker 2: you can tell the dude is very very uh intelligent,
1:12
Speaker 2: knows a lot of different things, but he is so
1:14
Speaker 2: hell bent on making sure that he does not aggravate,
1:17
Speaker 2: say anything in anything wrong, anything possible. If everybody's fantastic,
1:20
Speaker 2: it's a great long experience. It's a beautiful time and
1:23
Speaker 2: great opportunity. You know, he's a great leader of men
1:25
Speaker 2: and a great guy. He's got like fifteen cliches that
1:28
Speaker 2: he just fires out, and he's going to the Tom
1:31
Speaker 2: Brady School of interviews. So he already drew you're right.
1:35
Speaker 2: Came in as maybe the boringest, most difficult guy to
1:39
Speaker 2: get a SoundBite out of anywhere. Now he gets doubled
1:42
Speaker 2: up with Tom Brady there in Las Vegas and Kirk Cousins,
1:46
Speaker 2: who now apparently shows a lot of personality and fun.
1:49
Speaker 2: It's like a Patriot dish. We're gonna have to deal
1:51
Speaker 2: with this for fifteen years of my guys saying everybody's
1:53
Speaker 2: a fantastic opportunity. Yesterday after the joint practice they had,
1:57
Speaker 2: that's just a great learning experience and also all opportunity,
2:00
Speaker 2: and they got a couple of really good leaders, I
2:01
Speaker 2: mean over there, and it's like, dude, you can just
2:05
Speaker 2: take a deep breath and talk normal for a couple
2:07
Speaker 2: of minutes.
2:08
Speaker 3: See.
2:08
Speaker 4: You gotta realize when I fell in love with Bernano Mendoza,
2:10
Speaker 4: he was like so.
2:12
Speaker 2: In love with Fernando.
2:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was at cal and they had just gone
2:16
Speaker 4: what six and five because they beat Stanford, and he
2:19
Speaker 4: was still sort of anonymous, so I think he wasn't
2:21
Speaker 4: necessarily as worried about being as polished because he was
2:24
Speaker 4: the stage wasn't as big, and they caught him right
2:26
Speaker 4: after that comeback win, and he was super emotional and
2:28
Speaker 4: crying and talking about how it was the greatest moment
2:31
Speaker 4: of his life. He'll never forget going ninety eight yards
2:33
Speaker 4: with his boys and like all that stuff.
2:35
Speaker 2: And I was like totally enamored and enchanted by it.
2:38
Speaker 4: I was like, you know, this is my guy, and
2:40
Speaker 4: I fell in love with it because that was super
2:41
Speaker 4: authentic and organic, you know. And I'm not that he's
2:45
Speaker 4: being fake now, but he's he's a lot more I
2:48
Speaker 4: guess aware and concern about sounding like these Yeah, like
2:51
Speaker 4: you said, Bill, he's super polished all the things you
2:54
Speaker 4: know in the in the right order and everything like that,
2:56
Speaker 4: And it does make for a little more boring. But
2:58
Speaker 4: you gotta realize when he was an otymous for a
3:00
Speaker 4: while at cal in a way like, you know, relatively anonymous,
3:04
Speaker 4: and it was different.
3:05
Speaker 2: But now I know what you're saying, first pick and everything.
3:07
Speaker 2: It's it is.
3:08
Speaker 4: Kind of it's hard to listen to the cliche machine.
3:11
Speaker 4: He was get fired up every day he sat down
3:14
Speaker 4: with the busting with the boys. Guys are doing a
3:16
Speaker 4: little camp tour and going around to a bunch of
3:18
Speaker 4: different places. They had the four quarterbacks there in Las Vegas,
3:20
Speaker 4: Drew and they're interviewing all four of them, and Kirk
3:23
Speaker 4: Cousins looks like just the disappointed dad as he's trying
3:25
Speaker 4: to pull out all the stories.
3:26
Speaker 2: Right where you got the one kid that you're excited
3:29
Speaker 2: to tell all your friends about and just had a
3:31
Speaker 2: great day made National Honor Society. Tell them about that,
3:34
Speaker 2: Tell them about that, Tell him about that test that
3:36
Speaker 2: you just got an A on, right, and then you
3:37
Speaker 2: go and tell the stories. Kurt is just sitting in
3:39
Speaker 2: the corner, just like, all right, are you gonna tell
3:41
Speaker 2: the story or am I gonna have to? Yeah, he
3:43
Speaker 2: ended up taking a fifty percent discount to go to
3:45
Speaker 2: Indiana and he was gonna go to Georgia and he
3:47
Speaker 2: called Kirby Smart but he didn't answer. And you want
3:50
Speaker 2: to tell it now, Okay, I'll tell But no, Kirby
3:52
Speaker 2: Smart's a really really good coach. He's a really nice guy,
3:54
Speaker 2: a great program. And Guners Stockton would have been a
3:55
Speaker 2: very very difficult guy and it would have been hard
3:57
Speaker 2: and I probably wouldn't have been able to start right
3:59
Speaker 2: out of its brother, Yeah, take any breath, you're okay? Yeah,
4:03
Speaker 2: I took a discount to play at Indiana and now
4:05
Speaker 2: I'm the greatest thing that's ever come out of Bloomington,
4:07
Speaker 2: Indiana on the football side. Congratulations, and now I'm Teflan.
4:11
Speaker 2: Just embrace it and celebrate yourself a little bit. Kid,
4:14
Speaker 2: Loosen them shoulder.
4:15
Speaker 4: Maybe one day he'll get mad at somebody and that'll
4:17
Speaker 4: be fun to watch, like if.
4:18
Speaker 2: He actually gets mad. He did say his mom was
4:20
Speaker 2: the one that may have made that decision for him.
4:22
Speaker 2: He said he picked up the phone and dialed and
4:25
Speaker 2: was on the on the phone ready to call. Kirby
4:27
Speaker 2: Smart didn't pick up In the first couple of rings,
4:30
Speaker 2: he said, my mom was just staring daggers at me.
4:32
Speaker 2: So I quickly quickly hung up the phone, up, smacked
4:34
Speaker 2: the microphone, woke up the next morning and went to Indiana.
4:37
Speaker 4: So that bus actually drives? No, oh, I was gonna say.
4:41
Speaker 4: You said they're traveling around the bus.
4:42
Speaker 2: With the boys. I like it, actually is that bus?
4:44
Speaker 2: That that bus I believe is a private planet. Yeah,
4:47
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm gonna guess that that is going to
4:49
Speaker 2: be a pro.
4:49
Speaker 4: It'll be cooler if they did, like the Madden button.
4:51
Speaker 4: They actually the podcast is in the bus. I thought
4:54
Speaker 4: the bus actually drives. That's impressive, like the Madden bus.
4:56
Speaker 4: But whatever, Okay, see that takes away a little but
5:00
Speaker 4: the excitement for me, I just killed some of the excitement.
5:02
Speaker 2: I'm sorry about that. I apologize. Sometimes at some point
5:06
Speaker 2: we gotta see, we got to actually see the ost
5:10
Speaker 2: right is that it is?
5:10
Speaker 3: Yeah?
5:11
Speaker 2: Oh, you got it right? The os behind the bind
5:12
Speaker 2: the curtain. I just wanted to that wasence. I just
5:15
Speaker 2: wanted to make sure I used one armanence. Next up
5:18
Speaker 2: next in the next segment, Drum going to bust out
5:20
Speaker 2: a couple of Seinfeld references. I love it. I love it.
5:23
Speaker 1: Why don't you bust out a current electric superhero of
5:25
Speaker 1: the day.
5:25
Speaker 2: I'm glad you said that, because there is one brave
5:28
Speaker 2: soul and I am very much trying to find this
5:31
Speaker 2: young lady who went to the crosstown rivalry this uh yesterday,
5:38
Speaker 2: as the Chicago Cubs are taking out in the Chicago
5:40
Speaker 2: White Sox, maybe the most excited this rivalry has been
5:43
Speaker 2: in a long time. There was one thing that the
5:47
Speaker 2: Cubs and White Sox fans were uniting on. Not that
5:49
Speaker 2: there's no fighting in the bleachers. They were very much
5:53
Speaker 2: fighting in the bleachers on Monday night, but last night
5:55
Speaker 2: they were all fighting one common enemy, a young brave
5:59
Speaker 2: soul who I don't know her name, but the thank
6:03
Speaker 2: you thank you here it is as they start a
6:06
Speaker 2: goat pack or a Green Bay sucks chant. Now bring
6:09
Speaker 2: that audio down because there's some cursing that comes in
6:11
Speaker 2: here later on. Yeah, yeah, there's some background cursing. The
6:14
Speaker 2: very much not a good thing to be able to play.
6:16
Speaker 2: I apologize, That's why I was talking over it. One
6:18
Speaker 2: young lady brings a big old G flag right into
6:21
Speaker 2: the bleachers at Wrigley Field and in the midst of
6:24
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Sucks chant, trying to unify and bring
6:28
Speaker 2: together Socks and Cubs fans. This brave soul carried the
6:31
Speaker 2: g like nobody's business and bust this flag out for
6:35
Speaker 2: a full inning, waving it proudly. And that young lady,
6:39
Speaker 2: I don't know her name, is our current electric superhero
6:42
Speaker 2: of the day.
6:43
Speaker 4: You know, the Cubs slash Packers fans confuse me, but
6:46
Speaker 4: at least it's like, at least you got one of them.
6:48
Speaker 4: Like there's a lot out there of some people that
6:51
Speaker 4: you know are Bucks. But like Nathan Marzi on our
6:54
Speaker 4: Big Bucks Twitter guy, he's a big Cubs fan, big
6:57
Speaker 4: Packers fan.
6:58
Speaker 2: He just he posted it and said ball. No, see,
7:01
Speaker 2: there are people that know ball. Even though she's got
7:03
Speaker 2: a bad taste in baseball team I am going to
7:06
Speaker 2: guess that it is because her her parents watched WGN.
7:10
Speaker 2: It was the only channel that they could get. So
7:12
Speaker 2: that was why they grew up in that way, just
7:14
Speaker 2: outside of Antioka, Illinois, or just outside of Kenosha, and
7:17
Speaker 2: that's why they picked up on that side. And we
7:20
Speaker 2: can forgive her for all of the trials and mistakes
7:22
Speaker 2: that we've had as long as coming up on week five,
7:26
Speaker 2: we can celebrate her at lambeau Field, and hopefully she
7:28
Speaker 2: finds her way to lambeau Field in week five as
7:31
Speaker 2: the Packers beat down the Chicago. But how about the
7:33
Speaker 2: classy milk drinkers in the in the bleachers and attack her?
7:37
Speaker 2: Attack her. Yeah, there's one lady that sounds like a
7:40
Speaker 2: mom of four that said bit we will.
7:43
Speaker 4: Learn nothing from Bartman. But what what can you do?
7:45
Speaker 4: I mean, you can move the zoo, but the animals
7:48
Speaker 4: are going to be there, and the animals are in.
7:49
Speaker 2: The wiggly bleachers. That's just the way it is. So listen.
7:53
Speaker 1: The definition of carrying the G is going into enemy
7:55
Speaker 1: territory and unfurling that suck.
7:57
Speaker 2: Yes, best flag I've seen there, and so I don't
8:00
Speaker 2: know the yell one flew. So call Current dot com
8:03
Speaker 2: if you want a superhero. Now, it might not be
8:06
Speaker 2: that young lady to come and carry the G, but
8:07
Speaker 2: it's gonna be one of the current electric superheroes. And
8:10
Speaker 2: Arman even said he saw the blue trucks driving around
8:13
Speaker 2: the Cern Electric trucks. It look like superheroes pulling up
8:16
Speaker 2: to you.
8:16
Speaker 4: Those cars in the trucks, the Corn Electric man, I
8:19

9:34
Speaker 1: eight and four Badger football season coming your way.
9:37
Speaker 2: Come on, it's coming, boys, It's coming. It's it's gonna happen.
9:39
Speaker 2: We saw a little bit of it last night with
9:41
Speaker 2: the Calvers uniforms at Camp Randall for their open practice.
9:45
Speaker 1: I got it. How about everybody who went to that
9:47
Speaker 1: despite the weather and stuff. They had to delay the
9:50
Speaker 1: gates by an hour or say.
9:51
Speaker 2: It was a long time to be able to get
9:53
Speaker 2: in there, but it still looked like a nice showing.
9:55
Speaker 2: And also shout out Rob Havenstein for getting there and
9:57
Speaker 2: giving some pointers to the O line. Boys that you
10:00
Speaker 2: like seeing. I like seeing more and more of the
10:03
Speaker 2: alumni there. Melvin Gordon was there, over the weekend. I
10:05
Speaker 2: know that's been a push and rightfully so, I think
10:09
Speaker 2: I don't want to speak for anybody that played there
10:11
Speaker 2: because I couldn't, but I imagine it was difficult when
10:15
Speaker 2: there was a lot of things said about the way
10:17
Speaker 2: Badger football had been played and wanting to, you know,
10:20
Speaker 2: refresh and kind of change the way it looks, and
10:25
Speaker 2: when one of your own kind of gets passed up
10:27
Speaker 2: for the job Jimmy Leonard did. I think there were
10:29
Speaker 2: a lot of Badger alumni that felt some sort of way.
10:31
Speaker 2: There has been a clear, clear objective in edict to
10:36
Speaker 2: bring those guys back, Brady Ewing being a big part
10:39
Speaker 2: of that with the alumni relations, so I love seeing that. Also,
10:42
Speaker 2: hot take. Are they just letting everybody that has a
10:45
Speaker 2: cool YouTube channel or a TikTok page go down? Bernie Slide?
10:48
Speaker 4: Nowadays, it does seem like I'm seeing more of that,
10:50
Speaker 4: and I've been waiting to go down for a long time.
10:52
Speaker 2: I think anybody got up there and I feel like Drew,
10:55
Speaker 2: I'm seeing these dudes do a sweet four kse stick
10:58
Speaker 2: camera shots of it all the time now online Now, Yeah,
11:01
Speaker 2: and that's okay.
11:02
Speaker 4: We want to spread the love and we want to
11:03
Speaker 4: spread the word about the great stadium we have. But
11:06
Speaker 4: and not to make this about me, but I'd like
11:08
Speaker 4: to go down. I mean, hey, I don't know, man,
11:10
Speaker 4: I started YouTube. I gotta get more viral.
11:12
Speaker 2: I guess Billy to do it. But it does seem
11:14
Speaker 2: like a lot of people you got to get more
11:15
Speaker 2: videos of your cricket that was out in the hallway,
11:17
Speaker 2: and then maybe you would have that and then you'd
11:19
Speaker 2: get to go down.
11:20
Speaker 4: The slide one of the coolest but Katie did one
11:22
Speaker 4: of the coolest belief cricket.
11:23
Speaker 1: Isn't that like an incentive an option now for I
11:26
Speaker 1: know season tickets, seen ticket holder, maybe precial packages. People
11:29
Speaker 1: that can do that. They you buy the partial and
11:31
Speaker 1: then you get to slide down the slide or you
11:33
Speaker 1: get to take like BP on the field and oh.
11:35
Speaker 2: Really, okay, well then that's then that makes sense.
11:37
Speaker 1: Okay, Kirks, But you're right though, it does seem it
11:40
Speaker 1: does seem like to be more prevalent.

Speaker 2: What he will join?
13:47
Speaker 1: Uh and he will be a part of the Super
13:49
Speaker 1: Bowl coverage with He's going to joint Van Pel, Jason Kelsey,
13:53
Speaker 1: Marcus Spears, Jason mccordy, mccordy replacing the fired Ryan Clark. Okay, yes,
13:57
Speaker 1: well again, this isn't a shock, not surprise, but Andrew
14:02
Speaker 1: Marshawn's lead pretty much sums it up for me. Espnz
14:05
Speaker 1: motto is serving sports fans anytime anywhere. It soon may
14:09
Speaker 1: be serving Pat McAfee anytime anywhere.
14:12
Speaker 2: Anytime anywhere. Yeah, and and three times as much as
14:16
Speaker 2: steven A if it's sixty million. Now, Pat pays all
14:19
Speaker 2: the people to behind to actually like do the show
14:21
Speaker 2: and the production and that kind of stuff. But uh,
14:25
Speaker 2: like when they signed steven A to that five year,
14:26
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollar deal and people were stunned all
14:28
Speaker 2: of a sudden he was there on the desk for
14:30
Speaker 2: the finals. They they're gonna find a way to get
14:33
Speaker 2: in there. I'm just surprised steven A and McAfee weren't
14:36
Speaker 2: a part of the inside the NBA coverage of the finals.
14:39
Speaker 2: That's true, I mean, like, if that they're gonna fight,
14:41
Speaker 2: he's gonna be the Little League World Series, I would assume.
14:43
Speaker 2: Then they are pumping that Pat McFee on any and
14:48
Speaker 2: every possible coverage shit they have. And as the Pat
14:53
Speaker 2: McFee fan out of it, I'm like, hey, man, let's uh,
14:55
Speaker 2: let's slow the roll a little bit here. I don't
14:57
Speaker 2: know that he needs to be on every show, every
15:01
Speaker 2: single hour of every single game, my goodness, but but
15:04
Speaker 2: it is.
15:05
Speaker 4: It's like, hey, if it sticks, let's throw it out there.
15:07
Speaker 4: And that's they're training.
15:07
Speaker 2: And I thought Kelsey was going to start doing games.
15:10
Speaker 2: So he is still going to do the Monday night
15:12
Speaker 2: countdown apparently, Okay, yeah, now he might be the second
15:16
Speaker 2: game that they're doing that because they have a number
15:18
Speaker 2: of different ones in there. But wow, that so it'll
15:21
Speaker 2: be the uh, it'll be the college game day version
15:23
Speaker 2: of the Super Bowl pregame show for six hours.
15:26
Speaker 1: To bring it yeah, to bring it all back home
15:28
Speaker 1: to Pat McAfee. You know, he put out the music
15:31
Speaker 1: the album though he did.
15:32
Speaker 2: I thought that was a.
15:34
Speaker 1: Diary of a poll figure available on Spotify and YouTube.
15:37
Speaker 2: Now.
15:37
Speaker 1: Stephen Hayden, who is an Appleton native and was the
15:41
Speaker 1: music editor at the A V Club and he worked
15:43
Speaker 1: at the Grantlin for a while. And yeah, the onion stuff.
15:47
Speaker 1: Stephen Hyde's talented writer. He reviewed it. Someone asked him,
15:50
Speaker 1: as a music critic, would you review Pat McAfee's album Boy.
15:54
Speaker 1: Hilarity ensued as you can imagine.
15:55
Speaker 2: All I can imagine? Yeah, and uh he is he
16:01
Speaker 2: said something.
16:01
Speaker 1: He tweeted something effective to all of the people in
16:03
Speaker 1: inner circle of Pat McFee and all of his friends
16:06
Speaker 1: who didn't talk him out of producing this and putting
16:09
Speaker 1: out this album, thank.
16:10
Speaker 2: You, make sure you have it out there. Thank you.
16:14
Speaker 2: It gave him something to tee up.
16:16
Speaker 4: I mean, I saw people I didn't listen to any
16:18
Speaker 4: of it, admittedly, okay, it just didn't. But I saw
16:21
Speaker 4: a lot of people debating this because, like I guess,
16:24
Speaker 4: there were some prominent voices saying how it was truly
16:26
Speaker 4: a good like really good and really awesome, and then
16:29
Speaker 4: everyone accused them of just trying to suck up the Pat.
16:31
Speaker 4: And then I didn't know if this whole thing was
16:32
Speaker 4: a big joke or if it was serious. And it's
16:35
Speaker 4: just hard to it's hard to know what to make
16:37
Speaker 4: of anything these days.
16:38
Speaker 2: But if you listenabillity to any of it. I can't say.
16:43
Speaker 1: The headline is asking music critic, can you please review
16:45
Speaker 1: this Pat McVie album, and the subhead says, when making
16:47
Speaker 1: fun of a rich, malignant dufis obscures deeper, more important truths.
16:52
Speaker 1: You can kind of guess which way this is good? Yeah, Yeah,
16:57
Speaker 1: here you go. For those who are unfamiliar and like, Okay,
17:00
Speaker 1: so Stephenhyden's audience, not really maybe sports front Forward For
17:04
Speaker 1: those who are unfamiliar. Pat McAfee is a former NFL kicker,
17:07
Speaker 1: will kicker, punter, kicker, or whatever, who is currently one
17:09
Speaker 1: of the most prominent voices on ESPN, the sports cable
17:12
Speaker 1: network that, like MTV, was once beloved in the eighties
17:14
Speaker 1: and nineties, but now has fully devoted into unwatchable reality TV,
17:18
Speaker 1: starring a shrinking number of personalities that nobody on Earth
17:20
Speaker 1: actually likes but nonetheless scan as famous. Yeah, even those
17:26
Speaker 1: populating Pat's own inner circle apparently can't stand the man,
17:29
Speaker 1: as nobody talked him out of releasing The Diary of
17:31
Speaker 1: a Polarizing Figure, a melange of shop worn country boiler,
17:36
Speaker 1: PreK trap, and the sort of uncut and unrelenting grievance
17:39
Speaker 1: that only a man who has reportedly set to make
17:40
Speaker 1: sixty million dollars a year to wear tank tops and
17:42
Speaker 1: look relatively cojin while standing next to the oversized slab
17:45
Speaker 1: of molded silly putty that is Ajhawk's face can reasonably muster.
17:49
Speaker 2: Aj ketch from a man that doesn't like it or
17:53
Speaker 2: doesn't watch it. He's sure got some takes on it.
17:56
Speaker 4: It seems like, I mean, look, he Pat's popular. We
17:59
Speaker 4: can't like he's got numbers.
18:01
Speaker 2: Now.
18:01
Speaker 4: My thing is, is Pat one hundred percent serious with it?
18:04
Speaker 4: Is his point to make people like talk about it
18:07
Speaker 4: and laugh about it and just be goofy like that's
18:10
Speaker 4: my number one thing? Is he really intending to be
18:13
Speaker 4: a musical?
18:14
Speaker 2: Hearing him talk about it, it's definitely something that he
18:16
Speaker 2: like cared about that he definitely wanted to do a project.
18:20
Speaker 2: He definitely spent a bunch of money to paid a
18:22
Speaker 2: bunch of money to be able to do it. Like
18:24
Speaker 2: he's got a lot of people in Nashville that were
18:26
Speaker 2: trying to make it sound good from what I'm guessing.
18:29
Speaker 1: And then hiding goes on. Before we get into this,
18:31
Speaker 1: I need to register my usual reservations when it comes
18:33
Speaker 1: to pans of self evidently garbage albums. One, I don't
18:36
Speaker 1: necessarily relish reviewing a preordained artistic disaster, even when it's
18:39
Speaker 1: made by our rich, malignant Dufus. The easiest and most
18:42
Speaker 1: satisfying target there is.
18:44
Speaker 2: Two.
18:44
Speaker 1: The very easiness of the target is why I don't
18:46
Speaker 1: relish it. Three because mocking rich malignant Dufus, as well
18:49
Speaker 1: undoubtedly fun and popular on the Internet, often distracts from
18:52
Speaker 1: some deeper truth that's more interesting and probably more meaningful.
18:54
Speaker 1: So Stephen hiding thing is pretty damn pretty damn.
18:57
Speaker 2: Well, I definitely got to find some of that stuff
19:00
Speaker 2: that's way more meaningful. Yeah, I mean, I gotta find
19:04
Speaker 2: the way more meaningful stuff that that my man Stevens
19:07
Speaker 2: writing about.
19:07
Speaker 4: Well, you know, if you if you're an art critic,
19:10
Speaker 4: you will you are really into a lot of art.
19:12
Speaker 2: And I'm sure he has something he's into. But art
19:14
Speaker 2: is all subjective, let's say that.
19:15
Speaker 1: So, I mean that's just yeah, I mean, well, I.
19:18
Speaker 4: Honestly I have not listened to any part of the album.
19:21
Speaker 4: I don't think I will not not not.
19:23
Speaker 2: That I don't really on it. I just don't plan
19:25
Speaker 2: on coming across it. You know, but but I'll be
19:29
Speaker 2: watching the show.
19:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can watch the show and not
19:34
Speaker 1: by the album and listen to the album and put
19:36
Speaker 1: it on your Spotify playlist.
19:39
Speaker 4: Yeah if you, and and and for the fans, and
19:42
Speaker 4: for the Pat fans out there, they don't like hearing
19:44
Speaker 4: stuff like this.
19:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, they love Pat, right, I mean, that's what I mean. Yeah,
19:48
Speaker 2: But like also, I don't like, you don't have to
19:50
Speaker 2: love everything that somebody does, like, even if you're a fan,
19:53
Speaker 2: Like I've been a fan of a lot of guys
19:55
Speaker 2: that I've definitely disagreed with things that they've done. I
19:57
Speaker 2: also just like I love though, how mad he can
20:02
Speaker 2: make people, And it is remarkable how in people's feelings
20:07
Speaker 2: him doing anything can make people like they the the
20:10
Speaker 2: frustration when his name is attached to anything is really impressive.
20:14
Speaker 2: That's a that's an impressive impact you can have on
20:16
Speaker 2: the world, and you can make people that frustrated.
20:18
Speaker 1: But some things are timeless and timelessly bad, you know,
20:22
Speaker 1: like William Shatner's music.
20:24
Speaker 2: I didn't even know he made me.
20:27
Speaker 4: It was a great artist in his way as an actor, right,
20:29
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's I mean, like Shamane album he's.
20:31
Speaker 1: Putting out like a metal album. Now William Shatner is,
20:34
Speaker 1: but he's got oh yeah, oh damn, he is going
20:37
Speaker 1: back to the sixties. He put out yeah, oh yeah.
20:40
Speaker 1: William Shotton has been doing music for a long time.
20:42
Speaker 4: But and guys, and I always think athletes want to
20:45
Speaker 4: be entertainers, and entertainers want to be athletes.
20:47
Speaker 2: That's definitely a true.
20:49
Speaker 1: In sixty eight, put out a dramatic spoken word album
20:52
Speaker 1: that is still people play as if used play a
20:55
Speaker 1: comedy bits back in the day. Oh damn, yeah, I
20:57
Speaker 1: gotta go check that out. Yeah, you gotta check it out. So,
20:59
Speaker 1: I don't know, and people get Arma's favorite word, hubris.
21:03
Speaker 1: They do like everything I do is awesome. So I'm
21:05
Speaker 1: gonna put this into the world and people will like it.
21:07
Speaker 1: And then people make fun of it, and you're like, oh,
21:09
Speaker 1: you're just a hater. Just hate him because he's successful
21:11
Speaker 1: and famous. Like, no, I hate him because he put
21:13
Speaker 1: out this thing that's up.
21:14
Speaker 2: But there's also people that he could come out with,
21:16
Speaker 2: like the cure of cancer, and people would be like,
21:18
Speaker 2: that's ridiculous. No, that's not care, who cares, That's not
21:21
Speaker 2: what we're talking about. Guys, are lightning rods.
21:25
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no question. And I don't know is Pat
21:27
Speaker 1: working on a cure, because that I could get behind.
21:30
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know. If he's got sixty million
21:32
Speaker 2: bucks coming in his way per year, he might have
21:34
Speaker 2: a chance.
21:34
Speaker 1: He might have a chance, or he'll just try to
21:36
Speaker 1: make a hundred million and be on more shows. All right?
21:40
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven seven nine year in the huddle, Fox
21:43
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Wisconsin Drew billion arm in this portion of
21:47
Speaker 1: the program brought you by Game Day Men's Health. Check
21:48
Speaker 1: them out online. I'll be visiting the Brookfield location after
21:51
Speaker 1: the show today. Game Day Men'shealth dot Com helping men
21:53
Speaker 1: improve their lives with a variety of services. Great people
21:56
Speaker 1: doing great work. Game Day Men's Health dot Com. Check
22:00
Speaker 1: them out, all right? Eight seven seven seven nine four
22:02
Speaker 1: nine seven three. We're hot, take humping. We're not neglecting
22:05
Speaker 1: the fact that the Brewers spanked the Mariners twenty two
22:09
Speaker 1: to nothing last night. What a rollicking good time on
22:12
Speaker 1: a stormy night in Milwaukee.
22:13
Speaker 2: It's nice to be able to run through a team
22:16
Speaker 2: like that, especially one that I mean like people would
22:19
Speaker 2: say Seattle's an awful team. Well, a year ago they
22:21
Speaker 2: were pretty dang good a year ago. Check me if
22:23
Speaker 2: I'm wrong. Weren't they a series away from going to
22:26
Speaker 2: the World Series just like you were. I mean, this
22:28
Speaker 2: was one that you had circled in the preseason, and
22:31
Speaker 2: then you realize that it's Ah, it's not always about
22:33
Speaker 2: Drew who you play, it's when you're play, when you're
22:35
Speaker 2: playing here.
22:37
Speaker 4: Look at the Blue Jays. Look at all these teams
22:39
Speaker 4: that were good last year not good this year. But
22:41
Speaker 4: they all sleft talent, right, That's the point. So it's
22:44
Speaker 4: always good to get.
22:45
Speaker 2: Those Mariners are in just a weird spot. They're eight
22:47
Speaker 2: games under five hundred and four games out of winning
22:50
Speaker 2: the division.
22:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the wild card also is no good either
22:54
Speaker 4: in the AL, so they you have opportunities if you
22:57
Speaker 4: literally have one good week in the American League to
22:59
Speaker 4: make it move. It is a weird spot, it kind
23:02
Speaker 4: of It's one of those situations where I guess it's
23:04
Speaker 4: good for a certain fan base. It's to have hope
23:07
Speaker 4: in that regard, but their teams doesn't win, and they
23:09
Speaker 4: was by twenty two.
23:10
Speaker 1: If the playoffs started today, the American League wildcard would
23:13
Speaker 1: be the Yankees, Red Sox and Rangers and.
23:16
Speaker 2: The other Dame was Baltimore, right, So Rangers that jumped up.
23:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Twins and Blue Jays are a half game
23:22
Speaker 1: out of that, The Guardians Orioles and Tigers are a
23:24
Speaker 1: game out of that, and the Mariners are three games
23:26
Speaker 1: out of that.
23:27
Speaker 4: Gotta be remarkable for Blue Jays fans that have been
23:29
Speaker 4: bad all or inch from winning the World Championship last year,
23:33
Speaker 4: have been bad all year but still realistically could make
23:36
Speaker 4: a playoff run if they are, you.
23:38
Speaker 1: Know, nine teams with an easy striking distance of a
23:42
Speaker 1: wildcard berth Right, now.
23:43
Speaker 2: That's incredible, And I mean whether or not it's a
23:45
Speaker 2: good thing or a bad thing, it's what expanded playoffs
23:48
Speaker 2: did for you. It's keeping all these teams somewhat into it,
23:51
Speaker 2: somewhat relevant. And I mean to like the Blue Jays,
23:54
Speaker 2: who wants to face if he's healthy, Shane Bieber, Dylan
23:57
Speaker 2: Cees and Jose Soriano. They grabbed it the deadline in
24:01
Speaker 2: a three game series, like if they can bump anybody
24:03
Speaker 2: out there for you.
24:04
Speaker 4: They have guys and they just need their their lineup
24:06
Speaker 4: to get runs those individual days. Like that's what it's about, right,
24:09
Speaker 4: So it should be pretty interesting to see what happens there.
24:12
Speaker 2: And they also need their best player to uh to
24:14
Speaker 2: actually play to his baseball card with a lot of
24:17
Speaker 2: good smoke for cal rally justifiably. So yep, you look
24:20
Speaker 2: at vlag Guerrero's numbers this year, I mean his are
24:23
Speaker 2: astoundingly down sixty six ninety three ops. I think he
24:29
Speaker 2: said seven bombs all year long. And this was a
24:31
Speaker 2: dude that knocked on the door of what forty or
24:34
Speaker 2: fifty a year ago. That's crazy, right, And even the.
24:36
Speaker 4: Guy they lost to the Mets, shit right, I mean, yeah,
24:39
Speaker 4: he's had it down here. So it's funny how how
24:41
Speaker 4: many guys have struggled that you expect to be good Tucker?
24:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, and for a while tatists, although one I smiled by,
24:47
Speaker 2: Yeah you see Kyle hot take was Kyle Tucker crying
24:50
Speaker 2: in the dugout or do you have something in his eye?
24:53
Speaker 4: Like?
24:53
Speaker 2: He sure looked like he was wiping away some tears
24:55
Speaker 2: in that Dodgers dugout after he dropped that fly ball
24:58
Speaker 2: up ten to one. Yeah, it's a tough look for
25:01
Speaker 2: any human being. Also, really wish the Cubs would have
25:05
Speaker 2: locked him up instead of this Alex Bragman. That would
25:07
Speaker 2: have been nice.
25:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, it took Bregman a while to get going, but
25:09
Speaker 1: he's a good player.
25:10
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was really enjoying first, you know, ninety gamele
25:13
Speaker 2: Alex Bregman. Now I'm not nearly enjoying him as much
25:16
Speaker 2: since he's like, what a three hundred average and plugging
25:20
Speaker 2: four ninety or whatever. He's been good.
25:21
Speaker 4: That old lineup is there's no question. And you mentioned
25:24
Speaker 4: another guy really quick. Tatis had a great game last night,
25:27
Speaker 4: two homers in the Great Catch, and he was the
25:29
Speaker 4: guy that started off slow this year, but he's really
25:31
Speaker 4: played a lot better lately, figured it out for the
25:33
Speaker 4: Padres who.
25:33
Speaker 2: Were making their run. He didn't hit a homer for
25:35
Speaker 2: the first two months of the season. That's crazy.
25:38
Speaker 4: It's just remarkable someone with that much talent can have
25:41
Speaker 4: that many appats.
25:42
Speaker 2: Now, Drew were you were you ever MVP ballot or
25:45
Speaker 2: did you have all the other about?
25:46
Speaker 1: Okay all the time.
25:47
Speaker 2: So like when you fill that out, cause I'm looking
25:50
Speaker 2: at it and I mentioned it to Armin here today,
25:52
Speaker 2: you're you got to fill out ten votes right like
25:54
Speaker 2: you fill it up that way. Is there any place
25:57
Speaker 2: for a guy like Tatis who has a ridiculous second
26:01
Speaker 2: half and all of a sudden his team is scorching hot.
26:04
Speaker 2: When he was the combination of A and cheeks in
26:08
Speaker 2: the beginning of the season, and now all of a sudden,
26:10
Speaker 2: he's like rolling Like Jackson Merrill is the one of
26:12
Speaker 2: the best hitters on the planet, but his numbers in
26:15
Speaker 2: the beginning of the year wouldn't have given him any
26:17
Speaker 2: thought for that spot.
26:18
Speaker 1: No, you can definitely factor that in, but it's gonna
26:22
Speaker 1: be like a ninth or tenth.
26:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, and somewhere down on the bottom of one of
26:26
Speaker 2: those last little guys and you're looking for you end
26:28
Speaker 2: up giving.
26:28
Speaker 1: You're looking for the top and like, yeah, I mean
26:31
Speaker 1: Tetty's fifteen homer sixty R that's not great. Those are
26:34
Speaker 1: not MVP numbers. No, But in the context of what
26:37
Speaker 1: he meant and when he got hot, yes, but it
26:40
Speaker 1: is a full season award. You're rewarding somebody's full season.
26:43
Speaker 1: So a guy who had a much better body of
26:45
Speaker 1: work throughout the season is going to get this.
26:47
Speaker 2: He's going to get the look. Yeah, it's one that
26:49
Speaker 2: I always forgot about. Like when you see how good
26:51
Speaker 2: Lorenzo Caine actually was in eighteen, Like he garnered a
26:54
Speaker 2: lot of MVP votes high War, and rightfully so, because
26:57
Speaker 2: he was so ridiculously good in the center field, scored
27:00
Speaker 2: a ton of runs as the leadoff guy for that
27:02
Speaker 2: team every single day. They made that big deal, and
27:05
Speaker 2: you know, it was really for that first year, first
27:07
Speaker 2: couple of years, but that first year, because he wasn't
27:09
Speaker 2: to the same half. But there was that concern even
27:11
Speaker 2: with Yelch's great second half. I remember Billy that they
27:14
Speaker 2: were gonna split votes a little bit, that some people
27:16
Speaker 2: would take Mos away because the war was somewhat similar.
27:20
Speaker 2: And that's when people say that he did.
27:22
Speaker 4: That's when people will started realizing that the value of
27:25
Speaker 4: that spot, the value of that number. I remember when
27:28
Speaker 4: Gomez had a big War year and everyone started like
27:31
Speaker 4: realizing what his value was in center field.
27:34
Speaker 2: Pretty interesting? Could uh for what sixth that year? I think, yeah,
27:38
Speaker 2: I mean like that's impressed that he got it. By
27:41
Speaker 2: the way, Yelich was unanimous that year, so they yes, right,
27:43
Speaker 2: yes they were. They were very much correct there. Baiez
27:46
Speaker 2: was very very good, but he wasn't wasn't close to
27:48
Speaker 2: winning it. Drew. You want to hear one of the
27:52
Speaker 2: more embarrassing things that I've done. I went yes, I
27:54
Speaker 2: went full arm in sorry in yesterday.
27:57
Speaker 1: All right, you watched the nineteen four open to the
28:00
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals.
28:01
Speaker 2: Close? Is that close? And it wasn't that I dug
28:04
Speaker 2: up nineteen ninety six Packers preview before the divisional round
28:10
Speaker 2: game against the forty nine Ers. No, it was that
28:13
Speaker 2: I was watching a watching television and watching somewhere on
28:16
Speaker 2: the four Letter Network. Then breakdown just how good PCA
28:19
Speaker 2: has been, just how good and how impressive his season is,
28:23
Speaker 2: and they listed off that there have only been two
28:25
Speaker 2: guys to lead the league in war his favorite stat
28:29
Speaker 2: and go thirty thirty. It was Mike Trout and I'm
28:34
Speaker 2: gonna forget the I'm gonna forget the other individual. It
28:37
Speaker 2: was way. It was more back into the early two thousands,
28:40
Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, Like was the Bonds maybe or
28:42
Speaker 2: somebody like that. I thought it was Bonds, but I
28:44
Speaker 2: don't believe it was because I don't think he was
28:45
Speaker 2: stealing thirty bags when he was leading the league in
28:47
Speaker 2: war that way, right, Like I was right near the
28:50
Speaker 2: end of it. But it was Mike Trout and insert
28:53
Speaker 2: other really good player here, hold on, here, hold on,
28:57
Speaker 2: excuse me, I'm not trying to be the department of
29:00
Speaker 2: corrections here, you're gonna tell me shoe Heo Tani was
29:04
Speaker 2: the first fifty to fifty player to not also lead
29:07
Speaker 2: the league in war and go thirty thirty and win
29:10
Speaker 2: the MVP unanimously, which I just watched him do a
29:12
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. So I had to go to
29:14
Speaker 2: Baseball Reference, dug it up, pulled up the screenshots, and
29:17
Speaker 2: then found out that I was wrong, and then had
29:19
Speaker 2: to verify it and send it to Arman Sari and
29:22
Speaker 2: to talk about just how good Aaron Judge has been.
29:24
Speaker 2: I went in to correct a stat that I saw
29:27
Speaker 2: on television where they clearly vetted it a couple of
29:29
Speaker 2: different times. Because Drew I was hell bent on the
29:31
Speaker 2: fact that I was right.
29:32
Speaker 1: You knew you were right.
29:33
Speaker 2: I knew I was right WO and I knew I
29:36
Speaker 2: was flat wrong. After I looked at Aaron, Aaron Judge
29:39
Speaker 2: had I think it was a ten point nine crazy
29:41
Speaker 2: wins above replacement. Most guys never have another season like that.
29:44
Speaker 2: Shoe Heyo Tani had the first season in baseball history
29:48
Speaker 2: that went fifty homers in fifty stolen bases. He was
29:51
Speaker 2: only nine wins above replacement. So I don't know what
29:54
Speaker 2: that stat is. I don't understand it. I don't think
29:57
Speaker 2: I ever will. I am very glad that it is
29:59
Speaker 2: here so we can look back and tell people about
30:01
Speaker 2: how good guys were. But don't ever ask me to
30:03
Speaker 2: figure out what it means, because if that wasn't the
30:05
Speaker 2: most impressive season of all time, I don't know what
30:08
Speaker 2: is Apparently Aaron Judge though, is that maybe a little underrated,
30:14
Speaker 2: a little underappreciated. It's just insanely good he is. Is
30:17
Speaker 2: that a good reminder how good?
30:19
Speaker 4: I mean, certain guys have been like like he, he's
30:23
Speaker 4: been so good. But because he hasn't won a World
30:25
Speaker 4: Series an he's a Yankee like Captain, he doesn't get
30:27
Speaker 4: the love. Maybe people get desensitized by it. But pretty remarkable.
30:31
Speaker 2: I'm out here screenshotting Drew MVP ballot results from twenty
30:36
Speaker 2: twenty four and sending him around and highlighting different parts,
30:41
Speaker 2: and I'm like, dude, you're full armating yourself right now,
30:44
Speaker 2: as you just got off at our Belgium quick trip
30:48
Speaker 2: on I forty three to do a little bit of work.
30:50
Speaker 2: It just any wonderful. I just I pull. I had
30:53
Speaker 2: to look at it. I had to pull over. I
30:54
Speaker 2: had to check it out.
30:55
Speaker 4: Pull over when you when you have to pull over
30:58
Speaker 4: on the road to check a baseball reference, that is
31:01
Speaker 4: peak army.
31:02
Speaker 2: That is full arm I appreciate it. I can fully empathize.
31:05
Speaker 1: The only way it would have been more armament is
31:07
Speaker 1: if it had happened and you were shopping for produce
31:09
Speaker 1: at Pick and Safe.
31:10
Speaker 2: Uh maybe, oh yeah, I had put down the tangerines
31:14
Speaker 2: for the day.
31:15
Speaker 1: Old and the discounted produce.
31:17
Speaker 2: Hey, you know what it made me think though, when
31:19
Speaker 2: you did look.
31:19
Speaker 4: At the day Old bakery. Listen, that's listen. Thanks for
31:23
Speaker 4: the long John's. By the way, we didn't thank you
31:25
Speaker 4: yet today. No, those are those are this morning? Sorry,
31:27
Speaker 4: but yeah, thirty thirty seasons. A lot of Brewers fans
31:31
Speaker 4: will never remember Tommy Harper. It was in the first
31:34
Speaker 4: year the Brewers exists, right, and because it was like,
31:36
Speaker 4: you know, the Brewers had just existed. They moved from Seattle,
31:39
Speaker 4: from the pilots, and they weren't very good. And you know,
31:42
Speaker 4: obviously we don't remember much previous to the eighties Brewers
31:45
Speaker 4: when they started getting good. But Tommy Harper, when nineteen
31:48
Speaker 4: seventy had thirty eight stolen bases, thirty one homers, so
31:52
Speaker 4: for a team that was just starting out, not very
31:54
Speaker 4: good for the bruise though, he was the star, so
31:56
Speaker 4: that's that's kind of a good looked him up. You
31:58
Speaker 4: had a seven war that year, so maybe the early
32:02
Speaker 4: the early star for the Brewers. I would say, no question,
32:05
Speaker 4: And I would say when you think of underappreciated or
32:08
Speaker 4: seasons that were good but we'll be forgotten. I think
32:11
Speaker 4: about and I saw a cut up today of Chris
32:13
Speaker 4: Carter's twenty sixteen Brewer season led the NL with forty
32:16
Speaker 4: one homers.
32:17
Speaker 2: What a great one.
32:18
Speaker 4: Ninety four RBIs and then he had a twenty one
32:20
Speaker 4: ops and he'll never be remembered again. In a way,
32:23
Speaker 4: he was never heard from again. And then the Brewers
32:25
Speaker 4: just started getting really good after that. So in a
32:29
Speaker 4: lot of ways we'll never remember it, but now we'll
32:31
Speaker 4: speak your name, Chris Carter, and that one season you
32:33
Speaker 4: have there, you go, yeah, Arm's going to keep it alive,
32:36
Speaker 4: keep that thing going, baby. But he's he's on the
32:39
Speaker 4: like the Mount rushmore forgotten great Brewer seasons as well.
32:43
Speaker 2: Is did he ever play again?
32:44
Speaker 4: He played one year again. I think he got signed
32:46
Speaker 4: for the Yankees for like eight hundred K. After a
32:49
Speaker 4: year like that, I'm like, nobody wants a high homer guy.
32:51
Speaker 2: That could d h Yeah. No one wanted to cast
32:54
Speaker 2: in here either.
32:55
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
32:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that was me and I didn't have to
32:57
Speaker 4: still get it. I say that one listen, don't give up.
33:02
Speaker 4: Weamers out there playing joy play well. No, but Chris
33:06
Speaker 4: I think played for the Yankees and then that was it.
33:08
Speaker 2: I think one more year would Lorenzo Caine be a
33:11
Speaker 2: possibility for a playoff first pitch?
33:14
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised.
33:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Like I'm because you can only dust off
33:18
Speaker 2: having Robin you throw how many that's true, He's throwing
33:20
Speaker 2: a series every World series. You know, you got to
33:23
Speaker 2: start digging into some of those some of those other
33:25
Speaker 2: early hearts and the yeah, j J, those guys Domes
33:30
Speaker 2: is definitely gonna be I mean, we've we've tried to
33:32
Speaker 2: Niger Morgan out there, how many different Yeah, Niger Morgan
33:34
Speaker 2: is the Brewers, Brandon Jennings. Yeah, that's a great. Yeah.
33:40
Speaker 4: I think Randy Wolf should hit the hit the first
33:42
Speaker 4: pitch for a homer just her.
33:44
Speaker 2: That would be a good possibility. When's mad Garz's first pitch.
33:49
Speaker 1: Sean Harkamy, when's Mark, I'm coming back.
33:52
Speaker 2: I'm Fan Appreciation Night.

34:49
Speaker 2: Well, I could go through a number of different frustrations
34:51
Speaker 2: I have with this ESPN press release as to their
34:54
Speaker 2: NFL coverage, Most importantly, Kurt Warner not being on game
34:56
Speaker 2: day mornings on NFL network is a frustrating one. But
35:00
Speaker 2: we will go instead to last night, and I don't
35:03
Speaker 2: think we have to go any further than we're Julio
35:05
Speaker 2: Rodriguez struggled off a fly ball off the bat of
35:08
Speaker 2: Christian Yelich, who had already gone yard in the night.
35:11
Speaker 2: Caught a ball with one out in the eighth inning,
35:13
Speaker 2: threw that son of a gun right up into the stands.
35:15
Speaker 2: You would think to him admiring an excited young lad.
35:19
Speaker 2: But I'm pretty sure if you go back and look
35:21
Speaker 2: at the highlight, I think he throws it out of
35:23
Speaker 2: the stadium. He turns around, fires it over the Miller
35:27
Speaker 2: Lite deck. But the best thing is, and Arman, this
35:30
Speaker 2: should be in the station account. You should be able
35:32
Speaker 2: to access it in the DMS. Over there was Pat
35:35
Speaker 2: Murphy and audio is courtesy of our friend Pat timlin
35:38
Speaker 2: Over of WISN twelve fame and Pat Murphy spoke after
35:42
Speaker 2: the game last night and was asked about that moment
35:46
Speaker 2: and asked about How on earth can a major League
35:49
Speaker 2: baseball player in the midst of a game not be
35:52
Speaker 2: laser focused and dialed in? And know this, Murph. You've
35:55
Speaker 2: seen a lot of baseball, You've coached a lot of baseball.
35:57
Speaker 2: Has this ever happened?
35:57
Speaker 1: For?
35:58
Speaker 2: How does this happen?
35:59
Speaker 1: Murph?
36:00
Speaker 3: I mean at that point, at that point, you know,
36:04
Speaker 3: I was playing catch in the hallway here with Jackson,
36:08
Speaker 3: So I could be guilty of that too, because Jackson
36:11
Speaker 3: and I were playing catch. Yeah I didn't see the play,
36:14
Speaker 3: but yeah, that can happen. You know, guys lose their
36:17
Speaker 3: focus for a second, especially a guy that's played as
36:20
Speaker 3: long as he has and understands the game and has
36:23
Speaker 3: done so much for the game. You know, those things happen,
36:28
Speaker 3: especially the scores like that.
36:31
Speaker 2: How does that happen?
36:31
Speaker 4: Murph?
36:32
Speaker 2: How does that happen? What are you going to? What
36:33
Speaker 2: would you do if that happened in your clubhouse? I
36:35
Speaker 2: don't know. I would have been guilty of the same thing.
36:37
Speaker 2: I love that. There's just nobody better and twenty two
36:40
Speaker 2: runs Drew will make you breathe a little bit easier
36:42
Speaker 2: and probably feel a little bit better talking into a microphone.
36:45
Speaker 2: But Murphy is as good as it gets. And that
36:47
Speaker 2: one last night was Chef's kiss. Sorry, I was playing catch.
36:51
Speaker 2: I didn't even see what happened. Yeah, you guess, tell
36:53
Speaker 2: me what happened. It's hilarious.
36:54
Speaker 4: You have to accept the reality that even though it
36:57
Speaker 4: was like, okay, that's bad for it was an unusual
37:00
Speaker 4: baseball situation. It was like it was like they're just
37:02
Speaker 4: goofing around. It was the end of a blowout. Guys
37:05
Speaker 4: are throwing ephis pitches. It was not I'm almost one
37:08
Speaker 4: hundred percent sure if the game was two to one
37:10
Speaker 4: in the ninth he wouldn't have done that. Okay, let's
37:12
Speaker 4: be honest. So now Milton Bradley did it once for
37:14
Speaker 4: the Cups. That was my favorite because that was in
37:16
Speaker 4: the middle of a close game. Milton Bradley threw a
37:19
Speaker 4: ball in the bleachers when there was more there was
37:21
Speaker 4: less than it out, or there was less than two outs,
37:23
Speaker 4: and he thought there was two outs there was one out.
37:25
Speaker 4: That one was always one that wore my cockles. If
37:27
Speaker 4: you want to go look that one up, because that
37:28
Speaker 4: was really a boneut play that costs the Cup.
37:30
Speaker 2: It's a five to three game in the top of
37:31
Speaker 2: the eighth inning, he catches the ball thing and in
37:33
Speaker 2: the inning is over, they score one run. My man
37:35
Speaker 2: runs around and all of a sudden get two bases
37:38
Speaker 2: after another tag up and boom, we're playing a couple
37:40
Speaker 2: in this game is over on Wgport. And the thing about.
37:43
Speaker 4: Milton Bradley is he was a guy everyone loved to
37:45
Speaker 4: get on like he was the lightning ride. He was
37:47
Speaker 4: a you know, the the the one every other fan
37:50
Speaker 4: base hated. So that was funny. This one, I can excuse.
37:53
Speaker 4: It's a twenty one to eighteen nothing whatever it was like,
37:55
Speaker 4: give me a break.
37:56
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter at that point.
37:59
Speaker 1: It's still a bad low.
38:00
Speaker 2: It's a bad look. I get it. It's the worst
38:03
Speaker 2: look possible. However, the best answer that you could possibly
38:07
Speaker 2: come up. Hey man, I'm not going to trash somebody
38:09
Speaker 2: else's player. I'm just gonna make fun of myself. Yeah,
38:12
Speaker 2: I'll let you know. The last thing drew when you
38:15
Speaker 2: see Steven Vote and who is it? Tory Lavello got
38:18
Speaker 2: into it and they had to move the frustration and
38:22
Speaker 2: the anger because the tarp was trying to come out.
38:24
Speaker 2: They're like, guys, we didn't need to get the tarp
38:25
Speaker 2: on here. It wasn't the fact that Steven Vote was
38:28
Speaker 2: mad about what had happened. He was mad that he
38:30
Speaker 2: was talking to my players. Don't you talk to my players.
38:33
Speaker 2: I'll handle my guys. I'll handle mine like that your
38:38
Speaker 2: locker room, I got hated.
38:39
Speaker 1: Julio Rodriguez makes what eighteen million? That sounds about right.
38:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's signed, He's sign a pretty big deal. Yah.
38:44
Speaker 4: But if we're throwing position players, then the game's over
38:47
Speaker 4: and everyone is accepted.
38:48
Speaker 1: That kangaroo kangaroo court though, all right, kangaroo courd. Kangaroo
38:52
Speaker 1: court should get him.
38:53
Speaker 2: So is that going to be a pretty impressive spread
38:54
Speaker 2: that he has to treat everybody to or does he
38:56
Speaker 2: buy dinner tonight or because that's absolutely a thing.
39:00
Speaker 1: I hope they still do kangaroo courd. I don't even
39:02
Speaker 1: know if they do. Well.
39:03
Speaker 2: That was big during raining.
39:05
Speaker 1: Guys just look at their questions.
39:06
Speaker 2: I was gonna say it either their phones or bring
39:09
Speaker 2: their PS five and load that up into the into
39:12
Speaker 2: the clubhouse. I would assume he's got to pay some
39:15
Speaker 2: kind of good penance for that, because yeah, man, that's
39:18
Speaker 2: that's a hard one, hard one to forget. But it's
39:20
Speaker 2: also very you know, synonymous with how their season is gone.
39:25
Speaker 2: It's pretty symbolic as all the Mariners season has rolled through.
39:28
Speaker 1: I don't know how the Mariners are doing. Here you go,
39:30
Speaker 1: here you go, here's the game, ball in the stands
39:32
Speaker 1: with two outs. That's where we're at, with a third
39:35
Speaker 1: basement pitching, eighteen million dollar guy with the third basement pitching,
39:38
Speaker 1: and we're down in the worst loss in franchise. Ah, well,
39:41
Speaker 1: what the hell? Like I said, though, turn the page,
39:43
Speaker 1: like they could still win the series.
39:45
Speaker 2: They could still win the series. They could very much
39:47
Speaker 2: score twenty on you tonight. Also, did anybody have a
39:49
Speaker 2: better two days than Kyle Harrison's e R A drew? Oh,
39:53
Speaker 2: he went on a scoring decision over took off five
39:57
Speaker 2: runs in that San Diego game.
39:59
Speaker 1: I get what they appealed it because there were five
40:01
Speaker 1: runs in the balance, But I still don't think bait
40:04
Speaker 1: I thought that was a low throw and it was
40:05
Speaker 1: not normal effort to try to hold the bag and
40:08
Speaker 1: catch that throw. I guess, but what do I know?
40:10
Speaker 2: His era went from three four seven to two nine
40:13
Speaker 2: to nine, and then last night's five scoreless moved that
40:16
Speaker 2: son of a gun all the way down to two
40:18
Speaker 2: eight four, and Kyle Harrison is right back where he
40:20
Speaker 2: wanted to be.
40:21
Speaker 1: He'll take it, He'll take it for sure, all right.
40:23
Speaker 1: Tomorrow on the program, more Brewers, Mariners talk, Packers getting
40:27
Speaker 1: ready to travel to Denver for their second preseason Wayne
40:31
Speaker 1: talking about that might even mix in some Badger's talk
40:34
Speaker 1: as well. Let's see it tomorrow at five am.
40:37
Speaker 2: Peace,
