0:00
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's early.
0:01
Speaker 2: Welcome and Drew Wilson, Bill Schmid, Dave gasper in for
0:05
Speaker 2: armand Sari and who's still in the desert will join
0:07
Speaker 2: us at some point. We have not sent out a
0:09
Speaker 2: search party yet. We think he's coming back. We'll find
0:12
Speaker 2: out together on Monday. But first, so much unpack. On
0:16
Speaker 2: a Friday in the good Land Badgers going on to
0:18
Speaker 2: the championship game at the Frozen four in Vegas.
0:21
Speaker 3: I wonder if Armed found his way in well On,
0:23
Speaker 3: Wisconsin to the championship game, and it didn't look like
0:26
Speaker 3: he did. He looked like he found his way into
0:28
Speaker 3: the free event outside where I was getting a couple
0:31
Speaker 3: of different pictures and we were able to see some
0:32
Speaker 3: digital assets yesterday. But drew right away when I saw
0:35
Speaker 3: he posted the big picture of the rotunda outside of
0:39
Speaker 3: T Mobile Arena and the energy at the party. I'm like,
0:43
Speaker 3: sweet you sending us some postgame sound. Oh I lost.
0:46
Speaker 3: I missed the credential pickup line. However, he was enjoying
0:50
Speaker 3: as much as maybe the ninety nine cent trim cocktail
0:54
Speaker 3: in the two forty nine hot Dog that you can
0:56
Speaker 3: get a casino Royale. He was really enjoying the people
0:59
Speaker 3: watching and the misery watching of the fighting Hawk fans
1:04
Speaker 3: walking out of that building kind of dejected and stunned.
1:07
Speaker 3: It looked like they were ready for a full weekend,
1:09
Speaker 3: and instead they might be heading back to Grand Forks
1:11
Speaker 3: a little bit sad and earlier than they anticipated, because
1:16
Speaker 3: the second game was phenomenal.
1:17
Speaker 1: As well in the Frozen four.
1:18
Speaker 3: But the Badgers took hold of that thing early and
1:21
Speaker 3: then were able to hold on just long enough to
1:24
Speaker 3: be able to move on.
1:24
Speaker 1: That was an awesome game yesterday.
1:26
Speaker 2: If you had to answer the call of nature at
1:29
Speaker 2: a certain juncture of the first period, you missed the
1:31
Speaker 2: entirety of Wisconsin's offense in the game, right, Yeah, you
1:35
Speaker 2: appear only what seventeen twenty seconds a game time?
1:38
Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, Drew, I didn't think they were gonna
1:40
Speaker 3: beat two goals in thirty four seconds to be able
1:42
Speaker 3: to tie the game and make it into overtime to
1:45
Speaker 3: reach the Frozen four.
1:46
Speaker 1: Instead, they did it in that first period.
1:49
Speaker 3: They rushed like eighteen shots to two or eighteen shots
1:53
Speaker 3: to four in that first period.
1:54
Speaker 1: They were all over in North Dakota.
1:57
Speaker 3: And then you know, credit und they brought it back
2:00
Speaker 3: and at least got it within one. But there's a
2:04
Speaker 3: full almost two minute, five on three penalty kill that
2:07
Speaker 3: the Badgers had right there where Dexheimer got I don't
2:10
Speaker 3: know how my man went back out and skated Drew.
2:13
Speaker 3: If I would have taken that puck off of the ankle,
2:16
Speaker 3: I would have been in doctor Bong's office tomorrow and
2:21
Speaker 3: I would have been potentially in tears for a good
2:23
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes. Instead, like twenty minutes later, is back out
2:27
Speaker 3: of the ice playing the third period. It was. That
2:30
Speaker 3: was an incredible, incredible defensive effort for them to be
2:33
Speaker 3: able to hold onto that.
2:34
Speaker 2: It was a great game time for us, the best
2:37
Speaker 2: kind of game time.
2:38
Speaker 1: Yes, we had.
2:40
Speaker 2: So we had a Brewer free evening last night. Brewer's
2:44
Speaker 2: sitting on that lost. At least they had a nice
2:45
Speaker 2: day in the good Land to react to enjoy good one,
2:49
Speaker 2: no doubt about it, Rest and recharges. They get ready
2:51
Speaker 2: to face the Nationals tonight. This will be their first
2:55
Speaker 2: National League game, right and it.
2:58
Speaker 3: Will also be the first chance that we get you
3:00
Speaker 3: see against the Nationals Brandon Woodruff again at home, and
3:03
Speaker 3: the first chance that we get to see the Bobber
3:05
Speaker 3: jerseys and the new The New Sunset unis uh live
3:09
Speaker 3: and inactions they're playing them wearing them all three days.
3:13
Speaker 1: Wow.
3:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was logo that somewhat looks like the Washington
3:15
Speaker 3: National w which isn't it.
3:17
Speaker 2: The big news yesterday was the Buris City Connect reveal,
3:19
Speaker 2: which is actually a state connect and the leak was
3:23
Speaker 2: true a couple of weeks ago. Wisco that was that.
3:25
Speaker 2: That is indeed the Jersey. Gotta say it looks better
3:28
Speaker 2: when you pull back and see the whole thing that
3:30
Speaker 2: it did in that little picture of the Jersey leak.
3:33
Speaker 2: But I'm still not a fan, but nobody is really.
3:35
Speaker 2: It just has to grow on you.
3:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna have to see Brandon Woodruff striking out
3:40
Speaker 3: nine Nationals in it to really like it, right, or
3:43
Speaker 3: Bryce rang turning on a turning on a change up
3:45
Speaker 3: later on tonight to really see how I enjoy it.
3:48
Speaker 1: But there's little pieces of it.
3:49
Speaker 3: The barrel man is sweet, the like parts of the
3:52
Speaker 3: Jersey look kind of cool. I just I'm still struggling
3:56
Speaker 3: to get over Wisco. However, no one says Wisco. I'm
4:00
Speaker 3: just wondering what Wisconsin Luther High School paid or is
4:02
Speaker 3: getting in some nif exactly. They are getting the greatest
4:06
Speaker 3: advertising commercial institution where that.
4:09
Speaker 2: Phrase is uttered Wisco, Wisconsin Lutheran High School and University.
4:14
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't know, because Drew I appreciated in the
4:18
Speaker 3: because they're right, it's the state connect. And I did
4:21
Speaker 3: see a number of different people around the state really
4:25
Speaker 3: digging it and feeling like maybe they did get attached
4:28
Speaker 3: to so I hope they did. But that was the
4:30
Speaker 3: universal part. They're like, oh sweet, the color seems great,
4:33
Speaker 3: this logo's awesome. I actually like how the color behind
4:37
Speaker 3: the lettering goes from a blue to a nice yellow.
4:40
Speaker 3: It really does reflect looking at the sun going in
4:43
Speaker 3: off the lake. Still don't know a single soul that
4:46
Speaker 3: calls it Wisco. Even if you're hammered drunk of old
4:49
Speaker 3: fashions at a supper club in Mantello, nobody is calling
4:54
Speaker 3: it Wisco. But fanatics thought they did, and I think
4:57
Speaker 3: that's my favorite part of Go And then seeing the
5:00
Speaker 3: other seven teams that release City Connects. Drew, it's one
5:05
Speaker 3: of those deals where you don't always want to measure
5:07
Speaker 3: how much you like your house by how much you
5:09
Speaker 3: think it's better than other people's houses. But the Brewers
5:12
Speaker 3: City connect could be a lot worse. It could be
5:15
Speaker 3: the Baltimore ones that actually look like shrubs more be more,
5:19
Speaker 3: with it's built off of the bricks and the shrubs
5:22
Speaker 3: that you sit near the from the stoop to the
5:24
Speaker 3: yard was their slogan.
5:26
Speaker 1: So it could be a lot worse.
5:27
Speaker 2: I think of the well eight unveiled yesterday, the Brewers
5:31
Speaker 2: were not in the bottom four.
5:32
Speaker 3: No, no, And I thought the San Diego ones were
5:36
Speaker 3: probably my favorite out of all of them. But again,
5:39
Speaker 3: it's one of those things that we've been able to
5:41
Speaker 3: see so many teams get fanatics, and we thought it
5:46
Speaker 3: was Nike. It's definitely fanatics, but it could be a
5:49
Speaker 3: lot worse. Again, we could be the Royals, which looks
5:51
Speaker 3: like a strange complement of like old like camel cigarettes
6:00
Speaker 3: eating a rolls, Royce Nagle, which is a strange, strange
6:02
Speaker 3: look to be honest.
6:03
Speaker 2: The be More the Orioles looks almost like a Miami Hurricanes.
6:08
Speaker 3: Dude, it's a really really awkward look. Now, I did
6:10
Speaker 3: appreciate the it's kind of more of a throwback for
6:13
Speaker 3: the Braves than anything.
6:15
Speaker 1: The Cincinnati.
6:16
Speaker 3: They're really still trying to make that three D strange
6:19
Speaker 3: looking seed work.
6:21
Speaker 2: It doesn't work. And the red on red. Where are
6:24
Speaker 2: you with the Badgers when they wear the red pants?
6:26
Speaker 2: I think it looks more classic when they wear the.
6:28
Speaker 3: The red and white is much better. The red on
6:31
Speaker 3: red gives us it's got to be a night.
6:33
Speaker 2: Game field about Rutgers vibes, you know, like that's what
6:36
Speaker 2: crappy teams do. The Rangers just went with Tahas and
6:39
Speaker 2: they're kind of The Rangers just stole the reds Jersey.
6:41
Speaker 4: Horrendous Rangers is the worst one of the grip. It
6:45
Speaker 4: reminds me of Division III Baseball.
6:47
Speaker 2: Well, so a lot of these do, that's true. The
6:50
Speaker 2: Braves are the winners. Pirates is like, man, they've done
6:52
Speaker 2: variations of that. That's nothing like nothing great Royals is
6:55
Speaker 2: kind of classy.
6:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an interesting, interesting sight of it. I like
7:01
Speaker 3: what the Pirates looks a little bit droopy, a little
7:04
Speaker 3: bit fun. And I think the San Diego one's cool.
7:07
Speaker 3: Just bring back some of the older colors to it.
7:09
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's uh. I just they took a swing.
7:14
Speaker 3: They took a big swing, and sometimes you hit a single,
7:18
Speaker 3: and I think they hit a single. However, I was
7:20
Speaker 3: in the team story yesterday Drew you couldn't tell me
7:22
Speaker 3: that it was a single in there. I mean people
7:24
Speaker 3: were grabbing, loving, people were loving it, people were buying
7:27
Speaker 3: all the gear. Saw some some old friends in there.
7:30
Speaker 3: Saw a lot of people getting every single thing imaginable.
7:33
Speaker 3: They did have a sweet barrel Man sweatshirt that seemed
7:37
Speaker 3: to be boughting out of most of the sizes, So
7:40
Speaker 3: people were getting in there. People will be supporting it
7:42
Speaker 3: with the City Connect tonight. However, I just can't get
7:46
Speaker 3: over the w where you're gonna play the whole series
7:49
Speaker 3: against the Nationals and it actually might be the Nationals
7:52
Speaker 3: W there on the logo Nationals Walgreens.
7:55
Speaker 2: W is good to be everywhere because of people. And
7:58
Speaker 2: it's in this era when any body can be a
8:00
Speaker 2: graphic designer true AI just tell it what you want
8:03
Speaker 2: and spits it out for you and you can get
8:05
Speaker 2: something kind of reasonable it whether be at a logo
8:08
Speaker 2: or you know, for your family softball, you know, picnic
8:11
Speaker 2: or anything you.
8:12
Speaker 1: Want, anything you possibly can dream and they come up
8:15
Speaker 1: with that.
8:16
Speaker 3: It's like, what that would be the time that you
8:18
Speaker 3: just say, hey, University of Wisconsin, we'd love to be
8:21
Speaker 3: able to honor that big old motion W What if
8:23
Speaker 3: we throw that one on top of the logo.
8:25
Speaker 2: The Wisco thing, I don't know, man like no one
8:28
Speaker 2: like we said, no one calls it Wisco. What do
8:30
Speaker 2: we call it? I call it Cheeseville to my friends
8:32
Speaker 2: who don't live here. Yeah, I gotta go back to Cheeseville. Yeah,
8:35
Speaker 2: the state of Wisconsin. How about the head of what
8:38
Speaker 2: if it had said forward, which is the state motto?
8:41
Speaker 1: I would have liked.
8:41
Speaker 3: Madison, there's this the mingos there who do a great
8:44
Speaker 3: job with their running their operation. I appreciated that they
8:48
Speaker 3: explained why forward was in the backing of it, but
8:50
Speaker 3: I think that was our state motto.
8:52
Speaker 1: That'd be kind of cool, right, that would be.
8:54
Speaker 3: The barrel leaves down the sleeve was a cool accent
8:57
Speaker 3: that I guess that we didn't necessarily get to see
9:00
Speaker 3: right away. But they did a good job with the
9:02
Speaker 3: barrel man logo. That should be pretty prominent. The bobber
9:05
Speaker 3: shirt that they had because they transitioned the little grill
9:09
Speaker 3: logo to a you know, fishing lure or a fishing bobber.
9:13
Speaker 3: That's a hitter like that's the one that if indeed
9:17
Speaker 3: they're going to throw gear all around Monocua and Ryine
9:21
Speaker 3: Lander and woodroof Wisconsin, and obviously Eagle River because they
9:26
Speaker 3: dropped it in there from the Milwaukee River to Eagle River.
9:28
Speaker 3: That's the one I got a feeling is going to
9:30
Speaker 3: do some significant numbers. Put that on a hat and
9:34
Speaker 3: just watch it. Insane numbers. Even the w the light
9:40
Speaker 3: blue flex fit hat which I saw a lot of
9:42
Speaker 3: people buying again yesterday.
9:44
Speaker 1: It has the Whisco one right there.
9:46
Speaker 3: If that in that font had Brewers with the color scheme,
9:49
Speaker 3: I think it would do numbers. I'm not a merchandising guy,
9:52
Speaker 3: but we just play ones on radio and a lot
9:55
Speaker 3: of our suggestions, at least the nicolay lodic I'm talking
9:58
Speaker 3: text line, these are the ones Drew that I don't
10:00
Speaker 3: know if you're seeing the same thing. I think we're
10:02
Speaker 3: getting agreed with a lot more on our Jersey beliefs
10:07
Speaker 3: and takes than we ever do with our sports takes,
10:10
Speaker 3: no doubt, no doubt, And you could share your takes
10:12
Speaker 3: with us eight seven seven seven nine four one ninety
10:14
Speaker 3: seven three nicolay lo dot com talking text line. Burrs
10:16
Speaker 3: posted a tweet and the first reply I saw was
10:19
Speaker 3: from our pal Bob Brainer.
10:20
Speaker 1: The blond Bomber. Oh there we go.
10:22
Speaker 2: Oh, come on, Bobby, Wisconsin High School Football Coaches Association
10:24
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, You damn right, he said. I want
10:27
Speaker 2: to know who sits in a meeting announces these are
10:29
Speaker 2: great and signs off on them without any input from
10:31
Speaker 2: players or fans or does Nike just draw them up
10:34
Speaker 2: on a cocktail napkin and shove them down the team's
10:36
Speaker 2: throat take it or leave it? Oh and Wisco isn't
10:39
Speaker 2: uttered by anyone, by anyone, anyone just it's I'm telling
10:45
Speaker 2: you the best way that they sell these. When do
10:49
Speaker 2: the Hornets play?
10:49
Speaker 3: All the teams play on Sunday, Hornet's got to be
10:52
Speaker 3: playing before Sunday. Con Kin Nipple needs to walk in
10:55
Speaker 3: with one of these, and then immediately it makes some sense. Hey,
10:58
Speaker 3: we're actually honoring right now maybe our greatest export potential
11:02
Speaker 3: rookie of the year in the NBA, Conka Nipple. That's
11:04
Speaker 3: why we put Wisco on the front because he might
11:07
Speaker 3: be one of the only ten thousand people because he
11:09
Speaker 3: graduated from Wisconsin luther In High school that calls it.
11:11
Speaker 1: Wisco.
11:12
Speaker 3: I've been trying, Drew, after you said it to Cheeseville.
11:15
Speaker 3: What if there is a shorthand way that I say
11:18
Speaker 3: Wisconsin to friends or out of Stahors.
11:21
Speaker 2: I always thought Scannie was invented by people from Illinois
11:25
Speaker 2: who went to Madison.
11:26
Speaker 3: So they could shorthand say it and celebrate that's fair Wisconsin.
11:31
Speaker 2: They call him Scannie. That seemed to me to come
11:33
Speaker 2: from the outside. I guess you don't refer to yourself
11:36
Speaker 2: that often.
11:37
Speaker 1: I just call it home.
11:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true Milwaukee Home. I like that one, Dave.
11:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, we could have put home on the front, and
11:43
Speaker 3: I think it would have sold a ton. Yeah, talk
11:46
Speaker 3: about being the States team or you're always home when
11:48
Speaker 3: you're in with us and you're watching Brewers baseball in
11:50
Speaker 3: the state of Wisconsin. Maybe was Canson, but they would
11:53
Speaker 3: have had to use Yeah. They would have had to
11:55
Speaker 3: get t Payne to sign off. Yeah, yeah, get the
11:57
Speaker 3: accent Wisconson. That would have been a fun one with
12:00
Speaker 3: just a mansion.
12:00
Speaker 1: Silhouette in the background.
12:02
Speaker 3: More than anything, I would have liked to hear Mark
12:03
Speaker 3: Richards introduced the Brewers and try to throw pain into it.
12:08
Speaker 3: Maybe they have Mark do it and then play it
12:11
Speaker 3: through a tee pain edit on AI.
12:13
Speaker 1: That would be something that you'd be able to play with.
12:15
Speaker 3: But we're going to see them in action, and we're
12:18
Speaker 3: going to see just how many people because our friend
12:21
Speaker 3: Man of the mill right away, waking up with us
12:22
Speaker 3: on the chat, said, uh, those marks are buying all
12:25
Speaker 3: of that stuff.
12:26
Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna.
12:26
Speaker 3: See how many there were, because I assume if you're
12:30
Speaker 3: if you bought it, you bought it so you can
12:31
Speaker 3: wear it this weekend and support the squad.
12:34
Speaker 2: I was stunned at how popular the light blue brew
12:37
Speaker 2: Crew previous City connects were. It was those took fire
12:40
Speaker 2: and it was an absolute merchandising home run for the Brewers. Yeah,
12:45
Speaker 2: and I love that'll see this one. People like this though.
12:48
Speaker 2: It'll take off, I think. And it's weird that they
12:50
Speaker 2: just did the powder blue jersey top and incorporated that
12:55
Speaker 2: into their mix, which we talked about, which huh doesn't
12:58
Speaker 2: look as good with the gray pants it should than
13:00
Speaker 2: powdered blue pants as well. But now with the sales
13:05
Speaker 2: are that cool. While people buy the shiny new Wisko stuff,
13:08
Speaker 2: people like to buy new gear.
13:09
Speaker 3: People like the new gear. I think the blue, the
13:12
Speaker 3: powder blue will do maybe bigger numbers if there are
13:15
Speaker 3: more of them. Again, I love the Jersey. I'm with
13:19
Speaker 3: you on the blue pants. It would just be way
13:21
Speaker 3: too easy of a layup. The one that I don't
13:24
Speaker 3: see a lot of people rocking is the pin stripe,
13:27
Speaker 3: the white pin stripe. Since the change has been made,
13:30
Speaker 3: I love the brew Crew. I had a couple of
13:32
Speaker 3: people online and being like you are you have no eyes?
13:36
Speaker 3: If you liked the brew Crew one, that might be
13:38
Speaker 3: the worst logo that they've ever come up with.
13:39
Speaker 1: I thought it was sweet.
13:40
Speaker 3: I thought it made a lot of sense, and you're right,
13:42
Speaker 3: it was a merchandising home run. So I am interested
13:45
Speaker 3: to get the full feedback from the Brewers and how
13:47
Speaker 3: much people are doing it. Because people also liked to
13:49
Speaker 3: sport the squad. People like supporting the team. Eric and
13:52
Speaker 3: a dump truck, bad take. Baltimore was a good city.
13:55
Speaker 3: Connect Texas was the worst. What do you like about Baltimore?
13:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, we could agree with the Texas is the war.
14:00
Speaker 3: I can't get on with get get on board with
14:02
Speaker 3: the uh with the ones on Baltimore being good, However.
14:06
Speaker 1: A different strokes for different Yeah, that's totally subjective.
14:08
Speaker 3: It's all subjective, and that's where you're hitting that there's
14:11
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of people that say this is
14:13
Speaker 3: my favorite Bruisers or.
14:14
Speaker 2: And this will be the new look moving forward for
14:17
Speaker 2: all baseball and softball teams from Wisconsin Lutheran High School.
14:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, it has to be.
14:21
Speaker 4: I like, you gotta be like you know, in another
14:24
Speaker 4: three years extra, Yeah, in another three years when they
14:28
Speaker 4: cycle through and get news city connects, the Brewers can
14:30
Speaker 4: just donate these two Wisconsin Lutheran.
14:33
Speaker 3: You're getting all the blanks and guess what you guys
14:35
Speaker 3: can actually we can. We're gonna do something really special
14:37
Speaker 3: for you. We're gonna screen, We're gonna put your names
14:39
Speaker 3: on the back of them. Yeah, we got all these letters.
14:41
Speaker 3: Then we got to get rid of it. Here you
14:42
Speaker 3: go take them the personalizing station.
14:44
Speaker 2: We have this conversation and I'm wearing a jacket with
14:47
Speaker 2: the Bucks alternate logo colorways and stuff like that. See
14:51
Speaker 2: the Lake Michigan blue that they incorporated, and and I
14:54
Speaker 2: like that they call it Lake Michigan blue. I think
14:55
Speaker 2: it should be a Lake Wisconsin blue. But they should
14:57
Speaker 2: call it Lake Wisconsin or it should be like Milwaukee.
14:59
Speaker 2: I saw that petition going around yesterday, but.
15:02
Speaker 1: Drew right there they have of Milwaukee. Right, we can
15:05
Speaker 1: figure out how we steal that.
15:07
Speaker 3: We got the Bucks logo with the state right there
15:09
Speaker 3: on the on the side on the chest. Yep, the
15:12
Speaker 3: Brewers have a state logo, So I do wonder if
15:15
Speaker 3: they were.
15:16
Speaker 1: They didn't realize that we should just push this one.
15:18
Speaker 3: But they're leaning into it more and I appreciate it
15:20
Speaker 3: because as much as we love the Milwaukee Bucks, we
15:25
Speaker 3: celebrate the Bucks.
15:26
Speaker 1: I don't know a ton of folks that.
15:28
Speaker 3: Are watching Bucks basketball potentially in Eau Claire, or how
15:31
Speaker 3: many people are fully die dialed in in Steven's point.
15:34
Speaker 3: I do know throughout the summer you can go on
15:38
Speaker 3: all different TVs and all radios across the state people
15:40
Speaker 3: are listening and watching Brewers baseball. So absolutely to connect
15:44
Speaker 3: with the rest of the state, they have a good
15:46
Speaker 3: chance to be able to do some of it. I'm
15:48
Speaker 3: always in my own personal power rankings considered, you know,
15:51
Speaker 3: the Packers are one, two, three, and four, and then
15:53
Speaker 3: the Brewers are five. Mm hmm. That's fair as everybody else,
15:56
Speaker 3: and then everybody else follows said behind me.
15:58
Speaker 2: But I'm saying the brew are the second most popular
16:01
Speaker 2: entity statewide.
16:03
Speaker 3: They're the only one that you can get takes from
16:05
Speaker 3: and people are consuming across the states right now. Maybe
16:08
Speaker 3: Brewers TV took a little bite into that. I don't
16:11
Speaker 3: think so. I think there's gonna be a lot more
16:12
Speaker 3: people that are going to be watching more of the
16:14
Speaker 3: league and it might be better for MLB at the
16:16
Speaker 3: end of the day.
16:17
Speaker 2: So I'm wearing this bucks in part because I love
16:19
Speaker 2: the weight of it for today's weather, but also because
16:22
Speaker 2: it's their last home game tonight and they've declared Giannis
16:26
Speaker 2: out inactive. It could change today, they have that flexibility,
16:29
Speaker 2: but it probably won't. It never does. When guys are
16:32
Speaker 2: declared out the day before a game. They're very, very
16:35
Speaker 2: rarely elevated to active on game day, which means we
16:38
Speaker 2: won't get to see Giannis one last time. He won't
16:40
Speaker 2: get to play with his two brothers in front of
16:42
Speaker 2: his mom and his kids, and that's a bit of
16:45
Speaker 2: a bummer. So to all the people who bought tickets Speculator,
16:50
Speaker 2: and they did the twenty dollars deal. With ten dollars
16:52
Speaker 2: in concession, you can get in the ability and anything
16:54
Speaker 2: they could, Yeah, which is nice, but you know, there
16:57
Speaker 2: are probably more people further west On watching Brewers.
17:01
Speaker 3: In a hundred percent would I hope that they at
17:04
Speaker 3: least give him the key on dueling microphone and let
17:06
Speaker 3: him talk before the game, right like it's fan appreciation night,
17:10
Speaker 3: So a lot of times they would let have one
17:12
Speaker 3: of the players say, hey, we really appreciate all the support,
17:14
Speaker 3: all the fans support all year long. Hopefully they let
17:16
Speaker 3: that be honest to give at least somewhat of a
17:20
Speaker 3: vocal sendoff. But tonight would have been a great night
17:23
Speaker 3: for him to have this, the same moment that Lebron
17:27
Speaker 3: ended up having last night, where you know, he got
17:29
Speaker 3: to have a pass, a breakaway bounce pass from Bronnie
17:33
Speaker 3: to him finished with a slam first father son assist
17:37
Speaker 3: to dunk in the NBA because they're the first saw
17:39
Speaker 3: their son ever played together in the NBA. But for
17:42
Speaker 3: to have that moment where they could have done the
17:44
Speaker 3: little Harlem globetrotter's hand off there at center court and
17:47
Speaker 3: move around the perimeter for two three possessions, it would
17:53
Speaker 3: have made it worth the while. But I do wonder
17:57
Speaker 3: just how sticky this has gotten if there were so
18:00
Speaker 3: many hurt feelings that at one point drew what we
18:03
Speaker 3: just explained was the hope was the goal and then
18:06
Speaker 3: over the last two weeks, things have changed because feelings
18:08
Speaker 3: have gotten hurt. If that would be the case, I'd
18:10
Speaker 3: be really disappointed because we all kind of knew it
18:13
Speaker 3: was trending towards this. Don't let what's happening in the
18:16
Speaker 3: last moments be what you remember from a hell of
18:19
Speaker 3: a basketball life lived from Jannis and Milwall Sage advice,
18:23
Speaker 3: William Sage advice, Thank you.
18:24
Speaker 2: I was trying early to be that profile. I got
18:26
Speaker 2: my glasses on that.
18:27
Speaker 3: I am feeling feel little philosophics, Martin Boy glasses.
18:32
Speaker 2: On eight seven, seven, seven, nine four, one ninety seven
18:35
Speaker 2: to three. We got Frozen. Four, we got Janieis Saga,
18:38
Speaker 2: which is heading into its maybe final chapter. Brewers City Connects,
18:42
Speaker 2: Brewers and Nationals. This evening, we've got a pretty fun
18:46
Speaker 2: show holstered up for you. We're glad that you're up
18:48
Speaker 2: early with us. You Insomniac's early risers and psychopaths, sociopaths
18:51
Speaker 2: outside the health club banging on the door waiting to
18:53
Speaker 2: get that preferred staremaster. We appreciate each and every one
18:56
Speaker 2: of you, and we're going to do our best to
18:58
Speaker 2: inform and entertain. Until they ripped the microphones away from us.
19:02
Speaker 2: At eight o'clock in this fine morning, you're listening to
19:06
Speaker 2: the Huddle on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, broadcasting.
19:11
Speaker 1: LAVE from headquarters. Rulson, Bill Schmid, Dave Gasper.
19:13
Speaker 2: In for Arman, who's enjoying another day in the desert
19:16
Speaker 2: along with all the Whisco residents.
19:20
Speaker 3: A lot of Whiskos out there at the Badgers beat
19:25
Speaker 3: number two, the Fighting Hawks of No Dak North Dakota.
19:30
Speaker 2: No Dak is their their alternate jersey if they had
19:33
Speaker 2: a team, I was.
19:33
Speaker 3: Gonna say that would be their city connecting, sorry, stay connected,
19:36
Speaker 3: state connected. I guess Fargo wouldn't really want that to
19:38
Speaker 3: be a part of the Bismarck.
19:41
Speaker 2: We're broadcasting live nine twenty Milwaukee, ten seventy Madison everywhere
19:44
Speaker 2: on the iHeart apps, dreaming live for you early risers,
19:46
Speaker 2: and the conversation has already begun on YouTube, X and Facebook.
19:51
Speaker 2: We have plenty to talk about today with what the
19:54
Speaker 2: Brewers firing up again, Jannis's status he won't play tonight,
19:58
Speaker 2: which I gotta say that was a little torn. I'm
20:01
Speaker 2: going to the Brewers game tonight, mm hmm. But I
20:04
Speaker 2: was like I had some fomo and now that has
20:06
Speaker 2: been east.
20:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, it quickly got extinguished, and now I'm happy that
20:10
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be as you mentioned, a couple of miles
20:12
Speaker 3: west over at the ballpark tonight to be able to
20:15
Speaker 3: see that instead of what ends up being a merciful
20:19
Speaker 3: end to the Buck season. I saw Nate Marcion, who's
20:22
Speaker 3: one of the better guys on SOCIALI follow watching Bucks basketballs.
20:26
Speaker 1: Like the Buck season ends in two days. We've finally
20:29
Speaker 1: made it.
20:30
Speaker 3: There's a long time where generally you just wake up
20:32
Speaker 3: and you're excited on a night in, a night out
20:34
Speaker 3: basis when there's a Bucks game. For the last three months,
20:37
Speaker 3: it's been tough to have that. But for a for
20:41
Speaker 3: a relationship that seems to be coming to a close
20:45
Speaker 3: as well, the time for change that everybody was hoping
20:48
Speaker 3: for that you wanted to see throughout the year, It's
20:50
Speaker 3: gonna happen here pretty soon. Then it just depends on
20:53
Speaker 3: how vast the change is, how much of it is
20:56
Speaker 3: full roster or just the coach to a new coach
21:00
Speaker 3: coming in and changing that kind of a vibe. But
21:02
Speaker 3: it it's going to be a much much different looking
21:05
Speaker 3: Bucks team. So also, let's send it off, Doc Rivers
21:08
Speaker 3: and round of applause Hall of Famer when they announced
21:11
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame coach here tonight.
21:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, if maybe they do. He left us the bread.
21:15
Speaker 2: Crumbs that he's done after this year, and that's pretty
21:18
Speaker 2: much doing him.
21:19
Speaker 3: I mean, the Buck's doing him a solid. Said, That's
21:21
Speaker 3: all I gotta say about not.
21:22
Speaker 2: Firing him during the season, which would have been stupid,
21:25
Speaker 2: right because Darvin Ham moving over would not have changed
21:28
Speaker 2: anything at any point this season.
21:30
Speaker 1: I don't think, No, it would not have alved, especially
21:32
Speaker 1: with three out your.
21:34
Speaker 2: Last fifteen games, and when they're below we're right at
21:37
Speaker 2: five hundred or below when Gianni's played, So yeah, it's
21:41
Speaker 2: down to the studs. If Yiannis goes, who's even I know,
21:45
Speaker 2: Kevin Porter signed for a year and you got you know,
21:47
Speaker 2: Ryan Rollins is cheap and uzman Zang looks promising. Maybe
21:51
Speaker 2: build around those guys and trade everybody else. But yeah,
21:55
Speaker 2: it's it's like I would trade Myles Turner.
21:57
Speaker 3: Oh you're trading anybody ever has someone out of value.
22:00
Speaker 2: Everything must go. It's like down to the studs on
22:03
Speaker 2: this rebuild.
22:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you see how quickly and how much
22:07
Speaker 3: the trust is with John Horse, like he keeps he's
22:10
Speaker 3: gotten just got an extension, Drew, So like the thoughts
22:13
Speaker 3: of been bringing somebody else in to do the job
22:16
Speaker 3: and actually do the rebuild, I don't necessarily think they
22:19
Speaker 3: would have signed him that extension.
22:20
Speaker 1: However, this is the NBA.
22:22
Speaker 3: Where if you win the Coach of the Year in
22:24
Speaker 3: the next two years, you're probably on the chopping block.
22:26
Speaker 3: Like so, I don't know how much that buys you
22:29
Speaker 3: for sure, knowing that he's gonna be the focal point here,
22:33
Speaker 3: but he's now become more of the front man for
22:36
Speaker 3: the rest of the guy. He's the only one that
22:38
Speaker 3: we've heard really answer questions from the ownership group outside
22:41
Speaker 3: of Eden's conversation with Ramona Shelburn. So it would appear
22:44
Speaker 3: that he's going to get full control to make this
22:48
Speaker 3: roster what he wants it to be. It's gonna be
22:50
Speaker 3: a much different one because they've always been one of
22:52
Speaker 3: the oldest teams, always pushing chips into the middle of
22:55
Speaker 3: the table. You gotta try to be able to recoup
22:57
Speaker 3: recoup some of those draft assets that you've thrown out
23:01
Speaker 3: for you know, five second round picks for Jake Grouder, no.
23:03
Speaker 2: Question, no question. So that is what they're charged with.
23:06
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a very interesting offseason for the Bucks.
23:09
Speaker 2: I imagine we'll get Doc Rivers news like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
23:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm guessing it'll be pretty quick, right.
23:16
Speaker 2: It should be that they mutually agreed that he will
23:18
Speaker 2: not coach in the last year of his contract and
23:20
Speaker 2: then he'll be an advisor because he ain't walking away
23:23
Speaker 2: from the money.
23:23
Speaker 1: He's not gonna walk away from ten million.
23:25
Speaker 2: But it's it's I would think it's pretty clear that
23:28
Speaker 2: in somehow, some way he's going to step aside.
23:31
Speaker 3: And I wonder, but then and it'll be graceful. It
23:33
Speaker 3: won't be like we're firing him. No, it'll be a
23:35
Speaker 3: nice it'll be a nice message.
23:36
Speaker 1: He wants to spend time with his grandkids.
23:38
Speaker 3: It'll be a sweet I don't know if they'll have
23:40
Speaker 3: AI do it or if they'll have one of the
23:42
Speaker 3: people on staff do the sweet graphic thanking Doc. And
23:46
Speaker 3: it'll probably be a thank you doc in a retirement
23:48
Speaker 3: and like you said, or a transitioning of roles as
23:51
Speaker 3: you mentioned.
23:52
Speaker 1: But it's not.
23:52
Speaker 3: Going to be a ruthless firing and walking out you
23:57
Speaker 3: know here and meet me for breakfast. And then don't
23:59
Speaker 3: even go to day like, yeah, it's gonna be a
24:01
Speaker 3: little bit different deal. I would assume than that.
24:03
Speaker 2: A little bit, a little bit eight seven, seven, seven, nine, four,
24:06
Speaker 2: one ninety seven to three.
24:07
Speaker 1: Uh so we will be talking.
24:09
Speaker 2: We're inside of two weeks till the NFL Draft, which
24:12
Speaker 2: is not hitting the same as it did last year
24:14
Speaker 2: when it was in Green Bay and the Packers went
24:16
Speaker 2: and picked Matthew Golden and snapped their streak of not
24:18
Speaker 2: taking a wide receiver.
24:19
Speaker 1: It was such a spectacle.
24:20
Speaker 2: And the Packers this year don't have a first round pick,
24:22
Speaker 2: which means people don't have to really fire it up
24:25
Speaker 2: until day two. It's hard enough to study up on
24:27
Speaker 2: the draft. We've got experts, you know, Galore and Billy.
24:30
Speaker 2: You're gonna be covering it with Wayne the Chief said.
24:32
Speaker 2: TV Draft Guide is out. Yes, it is awesome, go
24:34
Speaker 2: get it now. But given the circumstances, there will be
24:37
Speaker 2: more juice around the NBA Draft this year, which hasn't
24:40
Speaker 2: had juice for Bucks fans in a long time.
24:42
Speaker 1: Because they're picking at the botom of the first round.
24:43
Speaker 2: They don't have a great track record of picking and
24:45
Speaker 2: getting out from the draft.
24:46
Speaker 3: Drew It's been one of those deals where like even
24:48
Speaker 3: the draft lottery, I haven't known when it's gonna be
24:52
Speaker 3: until the day of the draft lottery.
24:54
Speaker 1: Now it's going and there's gonna be a point of
24:56
Speaker 1: viewing for us this year.
24:57
Speaker 2: So the Yeah, the the tectonic plates have shifted in
25:00
Speaker 2: that regard. So the NBA Draft is now something that
25:03
Speaker 2: I'll probably watch more intently.
25:05
Speaker 3: Then you're gonna watch the you know, watch the combine.
25:08
Speaker 3: You're gonna watch some of those three on three drills
25:10
Speaker 3: that they have going back and forth and downe there
25:12
Speaker 3: in the guy's vertical jump. But it's like, you know,
25:14
Speaker 3: it's like watch them do the standing broad jump. Oh god,
25:17
Speaker 3: the forty at the at the NFL coman, the combine
25:20
Speaker 3: is a is a beautiful, beautiful thing. However, it is
25:24
Speaker 3: a fascinating deal. How we've made that national television for
25:27
Speaker 3: the NFL side. NBA, they wish that they could get there.
25:30
Speaker 3: But I did get at least a little bit of
25:32
Speaker 3: an excitement, a little hankering for the NFL Draft when
25:35
Speaker 3: I heard Dane Brugler, the guy that puts out the Beast,
25:39
Speaker 3: the massive draft guide over at the Athletic Drew and
25:42
Speaker 3: his favorite splash player no one's talking about was Riley
25:45
Speaker 3: Nowakowski in the fifth round. Like when I heard him
25:48
Speaker 3: being a potentially he goes, this guy's just gonna be
25:50
Speaker 3: a great special teams player for you do a lot
25:53
Speaker 3: of stuff on offense, probably play.
25:54
Speaker 1: For ten years and have a great career.
25:56
Speaker 3: All right, Well, that sounds like a great guy to
25:57
Speaker 3: be doing it for the Packers because we said that
25:59
Speaker 3: they need to get it. Yeah, or too tight end
26:01
Speaker 3: behind Tucker Kraft pick up a guy like that. So
26:04
Speaker 3: being able to find some weeds. But you're going really
26:07
Speaker 3: really deep into these lists to find the players that
26:10
Speaker 3: the Packers are going to be taking. They're on that
26:13
Speaker 3: second night, and got.
26:14
Speaker 2: To look at small schools. You've got to look at
26:16
Speaker 2: you know, well very much so the small schools that
26:19
Speaker 2: they also have it. They also have a they got
26:21
Speaker 2: a type when it comes to the relative athletic score.
26:24
Speaker 2: Athletic guys, the freaks, and then guys from Georgia they
26:27
Speaker 2: like so one hundred percent.
26:29
Speaker 3: And there's a number of guys that are going to
26:30
Speaker 3: be into that realm. And we can bore you with
26:32
Speaker 3: some of those names of guys that most likely won't
26:35
Speaker 3: be Packers. But Jay Goldie Goldie linebacker from Cincinnati grew
26:39
Speaker 3: up a Packers fan, gonna be right there in the mix.
26:41
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to get into it.
26:44
Speaker 3: But that's just because I'm a nerd and I have
26:45
Speaker 3: a sick, twisted love affair with the NFL. Like you've
26:48
Speaker 3: gotta be into that realm, I think to be juiced
26:52
Speaker 3: up for a draft wark again, Like, I guess the
26:55
Speaker 3: rarity of this has been kind of lost on me.
26:58
Speaker 3: They haven't gone into the offseason without their first round
27:00
Speaker 3: pick since the Hatel trade, that's true, and they haven't
27:03
Speaker 3: picked necessarily in the first round. But you're a bit
27:06
Speaker 3: of a unicorn though, because you're you're a football guy,
27:09
Speaker 3: and there are people who I know, people who will
27:11
Speaker 3: watch the NFL.
27:12
Speaker 1: They don't give a rats ass about college football. That's fair.
27:15
Speaker 2: And you are basically prepping for the draft all year
27:18
Speaker 2: because you're following college football and you're watching who's good,
27:21
Speaker 2: and you're you're you're dialed into that, so you're not
27:23
Speaker 2: coming into it cold like a lot of people who
27:25
Speaker 2: ignore college football and like save their saturdays for going
27:28
Speaker 2: to home depot and bed, bath and beyond and doing
27:31
Speaker 2: a little yard I don't want to watch any of
27:34
Speaker 2: that crap.
27:35
Speaker 1: I don't care.
27:36
Speaker 2: So there there is that delineation of fans like it's
27:39
Speaker 2: not as pronounced. I would say most people are like
27:41
Speaker 2: if you like football, you like football and you watch it.
27:44
Speaker 1: But you're not as dialed in.
27:45
Speaker 2: You mean people guys who are even guys who are
27:47
Speaker 2: in fantasy leagues. That that takes up bandwidth and that
27:51
Speaker 2: might not make you want to watch the Mac game
27:54
Speaker 2: on a Wednesday, that Billy will be hard down watch it.
27:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, And and that is the one that's the one
27:58
Speaker 3: deterrence of the NFL trying to take over every single day, Drew,
28:02
Speaker 3: they might be stealing my match on Wednesday, Like I
28:04
Speaker 3: don't know that. I'm I'm ready for me to not
28:07
Speaker 3: be able to sit down with Akron and Bowling Green
28:10
Speaker 3: and have to decide if I'm gonna watch Jags Titans.
28:12
Speaker 1: Instead.
28:13
Speaker 3: So it is it's kind of the culmination where you
28:15
Speaker 3: get to watch guys like Gabe Jackis, who was a
28:18
Speaker 3: stud at Illinois all year long, then go into the
28:22
Speaker 3: NFL and finally get their chances. And it gives a
28:25
Speaker 3: little bit more fun when when Wayne Lairvie sits next
28:28
Speaker 3: to you for the entirety of the draft.
28:29
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and.
28:31
Speaker 3: He is an absolute savant like that is one of
28:34
Speaker 3: my favorite parts of doing the draft covers.
28:36
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be some maybe late night, but who knows.
28:39
Speaker 3: Maybe we're in here late on Thursday night, round one
28:43
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, sitting at twenty six, we
28:45
Speaker 3: see that beautiful G pop up and the Packers straight up.
28:49
Speaker 1: We don't know that's gonna be.
28:50
Speaker 3: That might be a little too rich for their lightning liking.
28:52
Speaker 3: But they've moved around before. They only have seven picks.
28:56
Speaker 3: I would assume they have taken at least two cornerbacks.
28:58
Speaker 3: I think this is gonna be Christmas morning for Jonathan Gannon.
29:01
Speaker 3: It appears that two and three he'll have a two
29:04
Speaker 3: day Christmas celebration because they're going to give him defensive help.
29:07
Speaker 1: I would imagine Nanny Lineman.
29:09
Speaker 3: They probably need another backer like in as much as corners.
29:13
Speaker 2: Absolutely they'll double up on corners. Do you think the
29:17
Speaker 2: thing that you know?
29:17
Speaker 3: Nagler and I were talking about it on Carry the
29:19
Speaker 3: G Radio the podcast this week or you can available
29:21
Speaker 3: now wherever you get your.
29:22
Speaker 1: Podcast plug.
29:24
Speaker 3: That drew like they've been very okay with starting Carrington
29:29
Speaker 3: Valentine as a seventh round corner.
29:31
Speaker 1: So I wonder if on day two.
29:34
Speaker 2: Chris Johnson of San Diego State it's a second round
29:36
Speaker 2: corner and he'll start over carrying them back.
29:38
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely so.
29:39
Speaker 3: But like I wonder if they're not going to be
29:42
Speaker 3: as hell bent on grabbing one right away because they're like, hey,
29:46
Speaker 3: we've done it before, we started having Williams in the
29:48
Speaker 3: fourth round, Like if they're looking for more experienced guys
29:52
Speaker 3: who might fall down a little bit, it's not necessarily
29:55
Speaker 3: a I love when people say it's not a great draft.
29:58
Speaker 3: It's a really good draft. No one really knows. No
30:01
Speaker 3: one knows. What we do know is a lot of
30:04
Speaker 3: the highest end players that you anticipated seeing coming out,
30:08
Speaker 3: A number of them are still in college, especially at
30:10
Speaker 3: the quarterback spot. But there's players that have played twenty five,
30:16
Speaker 3: thirty five upwards of forty games still in college football
30:21
Speaker 3: and have operated now for most of their college life
30:24
Speaker 3: drew as a pro athlete. So this is like the
30:27
Speaker 3: full one of the first full on nil talent drafts,
30:32
Speaker 3: and I'm excited to see how those players start to
30:35
Speaker 3: transition and more how much much more pro ready certain
30:39
Speaker 3: guys are because of the path they took in college.
30:42
Speaker 3: I mentioned Evan Williams, he went in as a senior
30:47
Speaker 3: to Oregon, and he's like, it was basically like I
30:49
Speaker 3: was a rookie because I got thrown in. I had
30:50
Speaker 3: to learn the playbook and I was expected to perform
30:53
Speaker 3: right away. That kind of early expectations learning a playbook
30:57
Speaker 3: and being able to go right into a system. Maybe
30:59
Speaker 3: it does tailor itself a little bit more to some
31:01
Speaker 3: of these young guys learning Ganatan system because there's really
31:04
Speaker 3: no holdovers the last couple of years we've looked at,
31:07
Speaker 3: especially in the linebacker room. Isaiah McDuffie had a leg
31:10
Speaker 3: up because he worked at Boston College with Jeff Hafley.
31:14
Speaker 3: Tyron Hopper and Isaiah McDuffie are all starting at even
31:17
Speaker 3: playing fields. The only one that's got a leg up
31:19
Speaker 3: is Drin Cooper because they're excited to give him a
31:21
Speaker 3: second contract at some particular point in time. And right
31:25
Speaker 3: the guys that we already signed, all those guys we
31:27
Speaker 3: have some back.
31:29
Speaker 1: Those guys have a you know, trust factor.
31:32
Speaker 3: We're gonna start seeing the guys at Ella and I'm
31:34
Speaker 3: interested to see if they bring in one or two
31:36
Speaker 3: more guys that they could because after the draft, no
31:38
Speaker 3: money goes against your compensatory value, So that to me
31:43
Speaker 3: is also they have seven picks. As you said, I
31:46
Speaker 3: think that they have probably seven to ten, seven to
31:49
Speaker 3: eight spots that are legit available, and I wouldn't be
31:52
Speaker 3: surprised if they make a move after the draft with
31:55
Speaker 3: more veterans because then it doesn't count against their compensatory
31:58
Speaker 3: value next year in free agency. And they have been very,
32:01
Speaker 3: very cautious with dipping into that pool. They want all
32:03
Speaker 3: the fourth round picks in twenty twenty seven.
32:05
Speaker 2: YEA draft is heating up, it's getting closer again. It's
32:08
Speaker 2: not hitting the same this year, but it's still important.
32:11
Speaker 2: We'll be talking about it plenty on this Yeah, it
32:13
Speaker 2: just doesn't hit the same because we're not gonna be
32:14
Speaker 2: partying up there as.
32:15
Speaker 1: Nope, that's our frat house. We won't have.
32:19
Speaker 3: You know, I got people that I didn't know liked
32:22
Speaker 3: football asking me if I was going to the draft
32:24
Speaker 3: and where I was going to see them last year.
32:25
Speaker 2: Quite the spectacle, and in some ways it's like reticularly
32:28
Speaker 2: ten years ago, and it was last year.
32:30
Speaker 1: That's very true.
32:31
Speaker 2: Life comes at you fas it flies in there.
32:34
Speaker 1: It's the Friday edition of the Huddle.
32:36
Speaker 2: Scott Dolphin's going to join us about six thirty for
32:38
Speaker 2: a little halftime report. It always puts wind in our

34:59
Speaker 3: gets the boom, quick dap and the smile that went
35:03
Speaker 3: on his right as the signing up bill happened. I
35:07
Speaker 3: was there and I got to see the live reaction.
35:10
Speaker 3: The funniest part was my man Austin being like, wait,
35:13
Speaker 3: why did you get a Texan idn' Why did you
35:15
Speaker 3: Why did you get to learn I didn't. Everybody wanted
35:17
Speaker 3: to know it first, so it was a There was
35:20
Speaker 3: gonna be a big celebration, I assume once I left,
35:23
Speaker 3: But there was some I mean cutting the cake cutting
35:25
Speaker 3: it up. Early yesterday there were a decent amount of
35:28
Speaker 3: men's leagues in there drew. Like you can tell, there
35:30
Speaker 3: were some groups that said we're going to do the
35:33
Speaker 3: Scott Dolphin play nine early tell our wives were playing
35:36
Speaker 3: twenty seven and then we're gonna go to the casino
35:38
Speaker 3: and then we're gonna go straight to the bottle out of
35:40
Speaker 3: me in our golf gear and watch the Masters, because
35:43
Speaker 3: they were having themselves a banner time.
35:46
Speaker 2: So this is obviously they're not online up and running yet,
35:49
Speaker 2: but they've got the okay, not yet, but it's gonna
35:52
Speaker 2: be close to the app, so it'll and legally the
35:56
Speaker 2: way that it will play through that they call it something,
35:59
Speaker 2: and I don't have it in front of me, I
36:00
Speaker 2: shouldn't know exactly through.
36:02
Speaker 3: But the server is what will be on the land
36:05
Speaker 3: and then any operator as long as you're within the
36:08
Speaker 3: state confines on your mobile device, that's to register with
36:11
Speaker 3: Potawatamy and then you'll be able to invest in sports
36:15
Speaker 3: legally from your mobile device right from your couch. Also,
36:19
Speaker 3: the other tribes will be allowed to, I believe, operate
36:23
Speaker 3: their own if they would like to like. So there's
36:25
Speaker 3: people that listen to us in Neroneida and they have started.
36:29
Speaker 1: The capabilities of it. They'll also be able to, but.
36:32
Speaker 3: Potawatami will be ahead of the curve because they've been
36:35
Speaker 3: working on this for a long time and our friend
36:37
Speaker 3: Justin Arnett has been doing a ton of work behind
36:40
Speaker 3: the scenes. Is man Eric there as well has been
36:43
Speaker 3: They've been going NonStop trying to develop this thing and
36:46
Speaker 3: make sure it is as cool as possible.
36:48
Speaker 1: And how cool is it going to be?
36:49
Speaker 3: Drue It says real as it's going that it'll ever
36:53
Speaker 3: have been in Milwaukee where you can be sitting in
36:56
Speaker 3: your seat in section two twelve, not one of the family.
37:00
Speaker 1: Sections, maybe right, maybe not that might.
37:03
Speaker 3: Now also have to say no alcohol or sports betting
37:06
Speaker 3: on your phone, but maybe not on the family section.
37:09
Speaker 3: But somebody gonna be sitting in his seat saying Brewers
37:11
Speaker 3: down to nothing going into the sixth this is right
37:15
Speaker 3: when they get hot plus two fifteen on the money line,
37:17
Speaker 3: and you can bet it right from your phone, right
37:19
Speaker 3: from your seat, right in the stadium. It's gonna be
37:22
Speaker 3: a paradise and a beautiful place to be able to live. Finally,
37:25
Speaker 3: once again, it's always been a great place to live.
37:27
Speaker 3: It's why we love it so much. That's why we
37:28
Speaker 3: call it home on our jerseys. And also why drew
37:32
Speaker 3: our friend Mary apparently on the talking or on the
37:35
Speaker 3: YouTube chat, we found one. Mary said, I say Wisco
37:39
Speaker 3: all the time when I talk to my family back
37:41
Speaker 3: in Wisconsin. Love the jersey, love the barrel manhat in
37:44
Speaker 3: the inside or the outline of Wisconsin.
37:46
Speaker 1: So we found one. We do find. We have Mary
37:49
Speaker 1: who calls it Whisco. You're free one my.
37:54
Speaker 2: Whole life, and no one calls it Whisco.
37:56
Speaker 1: We have not, we haven't been able to encounter. So
37:58
Speaker 1: I'm glad we found one. I'm glad we found one.
38:00
Speaker 3: If you are also one eight seven seven seven nine
38:02
Speaker 3: four one seven three, let's see what we can add
38:04
Speaker 3: some more in there.
38:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get it.
38:06
Speaker 2: So the the news about being able to bet it's
38:08
Speaker 2: the hub and spoke thing where the ser yes, yeah,
38:12
Speaker 2: that has to be on the tribal land.
38:14
Speaker 3: And then you know, and every there's a I should
38:17
Speaker 3: say every. There's a number of different states that have
38:19
Speaker 3: a very similar model. The hub and spoke was first
38:22
Speaker 3: kind of in Florida at the Seminole casino all through Tampa,
38:26
Speaker 3: and it's uh, it's it's a very very popular popular.
38:30
Speaker 2: But what happened was they had to hold off the
38:32
Speaker 2: lobbying from draft Kings and FanDuel mm hmm. They didn't
38:36
Speaker 2: want that, Like the tribes didn't want that. They wanted
38:39
Speaker 2: to have not daily fantasy. They want daily you know,
38:43
Speaker 2: yeah in sports. Well, and the other part of it
38:45
Speaker 2: is and and this is you know, really into the
38:46
Speaker 2: weeds of it. But when when you go into uh
38:52
Speaker 2: business with the DraftKings and and the fanduels and such
38:55
Speaker 2: like that they have such overwhelming portfolios and capital that
39:00
Speaker 2: they can offer ridiculous different you know, boosts and benefits
39:03
Speaker 2: and things like that that ultimately benefit them, not generally
39:09
Speaker 2: as much the player as much as the player thinks
39:11
Speaker 2: it does. And then they also take the majority of
39:15
Speaker 2: the funds. Where this was very very important to the
39:18
Speaker 2: state as well into Governor Evers, was that the money's
39:21
Speaker 2: must stay with the tribes here. And this is where
39:24
Speaker 2: this is the best model for it to be able
39:26
Speaker 2: to have all tribes be able to be a part
39:29
Speaker 2: of it, everybody be able to be into the gaming
39:32
Speaker 2: Commission as well as it just be legalized and it
39:35
Speaker 2: be governed and watched. I know there's a lot of
39:38
Speaker 2: people Drew that have said a lot of things, rightfully
39:40
Speaker 2: so and understandably so. Of the questioning how much more
39:44
Speaker 2: conversation about sports wagering does there need to be and
39:48
Speaker 2: how many more issues you know, Dante jun Are I
39:52
Speaker 2: mean from Daman Jones, pardon me from Cleveland and such
39:57
Speaker 2: for us to then say, why don't we just walk
39:59
Speaker 2: away with it? Those things are getting nipped in the
40:02
Speaker 2: butt because there are legal eyes and governing bodies watching
40:05
Speaker 2: it every single day. That kind of stuff doesn't necessarily
40:08
Speaker 2: happen if it's not as legal and above board. Given
40:10
Speaker 2: the convenience of being able to place bets from your
40:12
Speaker 2: your palm, from the bathroom or the stadium or whatever.
40:16
Speaker 2: You still love going to the sports book at Patawatami Casino.
40:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.
40:20
Speaker 3: So.
40:20
Speaker 2: Will you then change your you know, habits? It's going
40:24
Speaker 2: to be tempting for you. That's a good question, Drew.
40:26
Speaker 2: That's a great question, I mean. And that's what it's
40:29
Speaker 2: the old thing about. Back in the day, the Brewers
40:32
Speaker 2: games were never at home, games were never on TV
40:34
Speaker 2: because they didn't want to do it. They didn't want to.
40:36
Speaker 2: They didn't want to They want people to come to
40:38
Speaker 2: the games. But then they realized putting the games on
40:40
Speaker 2: TV made people come to the game of the games.
40:42
Speaker 1: You're right, I minded them. I think it might.
40:44
Speaker 3: Then I also want to go cash in at the casino,
40:46
Speaker 3: so I might as well have to get there and
40:47
Speaker 3: did the paper ticket.
40:48
Speaker 2: Always still feels good in plenty to unpack. We're through
40:51
Speaker 2: the first hour. Shooting shirts are off. It's a Friday
40:54
