1:47
Speaker 2: uh at end of next week.

1:57
Speaker 1: Oh man, Yes, she's much more than that. I don't
1:59
Speaker 1: want to think that.
2:00
Speaker 4: I just we're doing a drop, but it was.
2:05
Speaker 1: There's worse ones that you could be remembered for.
2:06
Speaker 3: Let's fire up the stove on this hot tech compty.
2:08
Speaker 3: You can you know, fry an egg on the sidewalk today,
2:11
Speaker 3: but you get us your hot takes eight seven seven
2:14
Speaker 3: seven nine three Hot takes opinions on what the Brewers
2:18
Speaker 3: should do. Hot takes opinions on whether the Bucks uh
2:22
Speaker 3: whether they stepped over the line with Gary Trent.
2:24
Speaker 2: Junior, or if they have stepped completely into the batter's
2:28
Speaker 2: box of a playoff team with Braden Berry's being the leader.
2:31
Speaker 2: Electric Come on now, yes, my man is good only
2:34
Speaker 2: returns absolutely that hote humpty?
2:37
Speaker 1: Can we stop overreacting to Nate? Amen? Please?
2:40
Speaker 4: I mean I've seen too much slander over just his
2:43
Speaker 4: Summer League games. I'm not saying it's not a deal
2:46
Speaker 4: start for him or whatever. Maybe he's got a long
2:47
Speaker 4: ways to go, but let's support We're in a rebuilding process.
2:50
Speaker 4: So I shuddered to think how some Bucks fans and
2:53
Speaker 4: Bucks Twitter are going to really have to be able
2:55
Speaker 4: to deal with maybe the first time in their lives,
2:59
Speaker 4: because they're all twelve years that they haven't dealt with
3:01
Speaker 4: a fantastic team of a finished product. I don't like
3:04
Speaker 4: some of the stuff I'm seeing from Bucks Twitter now
3:06
Speaker 4: that I've been back for forty eight hours. Yes, amen,
3:09
Speaker 4: struggle a little bit but let's give this is our guy,
3:11
Speaker 4: let's support his journey a little bit. Let's give him
3:14
Speaker 4: some time. It is just summer league, all right. So
3:17
Speaker 4: that's why I'm gonna jump into hot Tay come there
3:19
Speaker 4: with that. It's like the slander's been a little caustic,
3:22
Speaker 4: all right, And I understand why we want it. We
3:27
Speaker 4: want to see great and Braden Bury's has been awesome.
3:29
Speaker 4: He's been fun to watch. We love seeing We love
3:31
Speaker 4: seeing that. And you know, if that's the way it is,
3:34
Speaker 4: that's the way it is. But let's just give our
3:36
Speaker 4: guys some time. There's been a lot of young guys
3:38
Speaker 4: that didn't necessarily, you know, a whole right away as
3:41
Speaker 4: finished products as young players in this league.
3:45
Speaker 1: Okay, no, it didn't show a bit different. Okay, that's
3:48
Speaker 1: a little different, a little different.
3:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tobias Harris was an unproven rookie as a Buck.
3:53
Speaker 1: There are guys out there.
3:55
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, also a Tennessee volunteer. I believe
3:58
Speaker 2: that's a good point. He was, He absolutely was.
4:02
Speaker 1: So I just I don't like this is like this
4:05
Speaker 1: kid's in the crucible of his young career. Didn't even
4:08
Speaker 1: play an NBA.
4:08
Speaker 4: Preseason game yet, this is just summer league. Let's lay
4:11
Speaker 4: off a little bit.
4:11
Speaker 2: Well, okay, I'm goad. I'll go on the other side
4:14
Speaker 2: of this. Tough enough, Buttercup, this is the NBA. Like,
4:16
Speaker 2: I understand, I understand what you're saying, Arman, and and
4:20
Speaker 2: I do appreciate more patience, uh, and and patented positivity
4:24
Speaker 2: is appreciated on this program.
4:25
Speaker 1: That's that's one of our favorite things.
4:28
Speaker 2: But like a couple of guys online griping that you're
4:31
Speaker 2: going two of three in a summer league game, if
4:34
Speaker 2: that's gonna break your confidence and and and rattle you through,
4:37
Speaker 2: then the league's probably not for you. Like I mean,
4:39
Speaker 2: I got I got bad news for you. It's only
4:42
Speaker 2: gonna get harder, louder, and worse. So I mean, like
4:45
Speaker 2: I'm I'm with you. Let's all let him have some chance.
4:48
Speaker 2: But it's never too early to learn good lessons. And
4:51
Speaker 2: Nate Amen can be learning some lessons of Hey, this
4:53
Speaker 2: is uh, this is we know the SEC is difficult. Yeah,
4:57
Speaker 2: the same Rocky tip. I just don't the same Rocky
4:59
Speaker 2: top anymore. Brother, this is this is Big Boy Club.
5:01
Speaker 2: We need you to be performing, and we'll give you
5:04
Speaker 2: a little bit of great panamach.
5:05
Speaker 4: Right, and I understand that, and it is a pro
5:08
Speaker 4: professional job. He's got to he's an adult now with
5:10
Speaker 4: the job, so he's got to understand.
5:11
Speaker 1: That's part of it.
5:12
Speaker 4: However, is young guy criticism might affect his confidence.
5:15
Speaker 1: I don't know, just something i'd seen, that's what I'm saying.
5:17
Speaker 4: You can't let that well, that's that's that's a part
5:20
Speaker 4: of that's a part of the learning process. It's easier
5:22
Speaker 4: said than done sometimes, so I hope we're part of
5:23
Speaker 4: the solution. But it's also early, is my point. We
5:27
Speaker 4: don't really know much yet about it, just because it's
5:29
Speaker 4: summer league. So okay, that's my hot that's my hot
5:32
Speaker 4: hump hote comday. Excuse me of that, and a really
5:35
Speaker 4: quick hot te compty about the weather when it's gonna
5:38
Speaker 4: be When it's gonna be ninety three and my weather
5:42
Speaker 4: app says cooler temperature is expected today, it's not really
5:45
Speaker 4: that much cooler, all right.
5:46
Speaker 1: It's a little bit deceiving. You don't get you don't.
5:49
Speaker 2: You don't. Here's the hot take. You don't get to
5:52
Speaker 2: bitch about the heat. I'm not complaining.
5:54
Speaker 1: I just I just want to know. I just want
5:55
Speaker 1: to make sure.
5:56
Speaker 4: But the way it's written lower temperature expected, well literally, yes,
6:00
Speaker 4: it'll be correct.
6:01
Speaker 2: It's a fact fact of the matter. It is not
6:04
Speaker 2: going to touch potentially one hundred. But for the folks
6:07
Speaker 2: that bitch and moan all winter long, me, I'm that
6:12
Speaker 2: about that weather and all fall and spring long. When
6:16
Speaker 2: you hit the heat excessive heat advisory, I hope you
6:19
Speaker 2: were running naked through the streets of Greendale yesterday enjoying
6:22
Speaker 2: all of the outside heat, all of the steam and
6:26
Speaker 2: humidity that you possibly could get, because I had to
6:29
Speaker 2: listen to it for probably nine months out of the
6:32
Speaker 2: year of people complaining about the weather here in Milwaukee.
6:34
Speaker 2: So I hope that you enjoyed it yesterday. I hope
6:36
Speaker 2: everybody had all love it as I sat right inside
6:40
Speaker 2: and I enjoyed all of that.
6:41
Speaker 4: Eric, and I hope I hope all these people that
6:44
Speaker 4: say they can just put another layer on when it's
6:46
Speaker 4: a negative five degrees and negative forty wind chill, we'll
6:49
Speaker 4: at least admit that yesterday evening was a lot more
6:52
Speaker 4: pleasant than having.
6:53
Speaker 1: To deal with the It was pretty easy.
6:55
Speaker 2: I just went inside and stay in the air conditioning,
6:57
Speaker 2: just like I do in the winter, and I stay
6:58
Speaker 2: inside in the heat.
6:59
Speaker 1: It's not that bad. That's a good point. That's that's
7:02
Speaker 1: a fair point. It was pretty easy, Okay. I will
7:05
Speaker 1: say it was.
7:06
Speaker 6: Just lovely at four forty five when we were strolling in. Yes,
7:11
Speaker 6: absolutely lovely. Perfect temperature was like you know, seventies and
7:15
Speaker 6: you know, high dew point. Felt very comfortable, all sick.
7:18
Speaker 6: It's so humid that all the wall windows fog up.
7:20
Speaker 1: Disgusted.
7:21
Speaker 4: It's just part you walk outside and you feel like
7:23
Speaker 4: you walked into water. It's just awful hot. Take Could
7:27
Speaker 4: it be too hot to grill? Is that possibility?
7:29
Speaker 2: I got out there last night. No, Okay, then then
7:33
Speaker 2: it's not for a good hour and a half after.
7:36
Speaker 2: But but you will after anyway, you will anyway. I
7:38
Speaker 2: had to have a towel with me last summer.
7:40
Speaker 1: We had one of those hot ninety plus humid days
7:43
Speaker 1: and fired up breakfast on the Blackstone and it's like
7:46
Speaker 1: I had to have a towel because I was I
7:48
Speaker 1: was Schwitzen. Yeah.
7:49
Speaker 4: The man that the man that perfected the sweat towel
7:52
Speaker 4: for me was Ted Davis when he was at the
7:54
Speaker 4: hottest Romotes of the summer years and years ago, when
7:56
Speaker 4: we were at State Fair and he's like arming. One
7:58
Speaker 4: thing you learned about in Texas As you always have
8:00
Speaker 4: a sweat towel with you. And he broke that thing out,
8:02
Speaker 4: broke it out and with them so helped. Ted's down
8:05
Speaker 4: their door. Well in the retirement.
8:07
Speaker 3: And I know where you can get a good sweats
8:09
Speaker 3: heel from our pals at iron Jack poly Holts and

Speaker 2: How would I not thought of the golf bag that's
8:32
Speaker 2: an electric ad.
8:33
Speaker 3: So you got the towel to wipe off your clothes,
8:35
Speaker 3: but you need to tell the wipe off your face,
8:36
Speaker 3: and you don't want it to be the same towel.
8:37
Speaker 1: You don't want it to be the same towel for me.
8:39
Speaker 2: It's also the arms right there that'll get glazed up
8:42
Speaker 2: pretty badly and there'll be a lot of sweat dripping
8:44
Speaker 2: down at that point, and you're right with the different
8:47
Speaker 2: size towels too. You won't look like that guy in
8:49
Speaker 2: the gym that always like.
8:52
Speaker 1: Yeah the he the hell was that armin a little
8:55
Speaker 1: double audio there, Sorry about that.
8:58
Speaker 2: But like when you when you see Buddy walking around
9:01
Speaker 2: the gym with the with the old school, really scratchy
9:05
Speaker 2: white towel wrapped around the neck drew and he's like
9:07

9:09
Speaker 2: won't look like that, Chad. You'll look like the cool
9:12
Speaker 2: guy that people want to go and interact.
9:14
Speaker 1: With in the gym.

9:18
Speaker 2: over the bench.
9:19
Speaker 3: It's right hot takes, and it's a hot day, so
9:21
Speaker 3: perfect day for hot takes. Eight seven seven seven nine
9:25
Speaker 3: seven three Send them to the nicolay lot dot com
9:26
Speaker 3: talking text line. I'll pass along a hot take from
9:28
Speaker 3: a friend of mine who said if Cody Bellinger had
9:32
Speaker 3: hit the monster home run and Miguel Vargas had the
9:34
Speaker 3: two run single in the first inning, Bellinger still would
9:37
Speaker 3: have been the MVP.
9:38
Speaker 1: Because Yankees ooh, I could see that. Yeah, I could
9:42
Speaker 1: see that.
9:42
Speaker 2: That's for sure.
9:43
Speaker 1: One. Yeah, I could see that.
9:45
Speaker 2: I'll be completely honest with you, I kind of forgot
9:48
Speaker 2: that they hand I almost forgot they handed out the
9:51
Speaker 2: MLB All All Star Game MVP, especially in a game
9:54
Speaker 2: where the MVP probably should have been like the defensive
9:56
Speaker 2: line should have been the Super Bowl MVP when the
9:58
Speaker 2: Eagles blitz the the Chiefs probably should have just been
10:01
Speaker 2: the al pitching staff.
10:02
Speaker 1: But you can't get out, can't give it well baths.
10:04
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was so that. That was interesting.
10:07
Speaker 3: And another moment last night, another thing that kind of
10:11
Speaker 3: goes flying under the radar. Mike Trout. Didn't it seem
10:15
Speaker 3: like he was getting the Irving J. Thalberg Award for
10:17
Speaker 3: Meritorious Service, And it's like, Okay, here's this guy. Hasn't
10:19
Speaker 3: been an All Star for a while because he's been
10:21
Speaker 3: hurt and it's forty minutes from his child at home
10:23
Speaker 3: where he's a legend, and he's been like one of
10:26
Speaker 3: the great non factor superstars of our time. I saw
10:31
Speaker 3: a perfect way of saying it, like people don't think
10:33
Speaker 3: of him like they should. He's been in subway commercial stuff,
10:35
Speaker 3: but he's been one of the great players for the
10:37
Speaker 3: last decade and a half a god, and it's insane,
10:41
Speaker 3: and yet here he you know, it's almost like he's
10:43
Speaker 3: an afterthought.
10:44
Speaker 1: He was.
10:45
Speaker 2: He was like the player that you were always told
10:47
Speaker 2: about and somewhat of a figment of imagination if you
10:51
Speaker 2: didn't watch on West Coast games, because first off, you're
10:53
Speaker 2: watching a West Coast game.
10:54
Speaker 1: The last thing you're doing is watching an Angels game.
10:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's about six different teams that I'd rather watch
10:58
Speaker 2: before Ardi Moreno's Angel absolutely instead. I mean, he's got
11:02
Speaker 2: over four hundred and twenty bombs in his career. He's
11:05
Speaker 2: gonna hit five hundred if he can play a couple
11:07
Speaker 2: more years. And you're right, he's been i mean the
11:10
Speaker 2: last what five six years ever since COVID he plays
11:14
Speaker 2: obviously the strikes, the shortened season for COVID at fifty
11:17
Speaker 2: three games, and I'm thirty six eighty two, twenty nine.
11:21
Speaker 2: He's been so dinged up you almost wonder if Drew
11:23
Speaker 2: he would have been like the commissioner's pick on the
11:26
Speaker 2: American League side, if Verlander hadn't been there, right like
11:28
Speaker 2: the OPIEA, some of his numbers would still indicate he
11:31
Speaker 2: should should get there, but it's it's a different He's
11:34
Speaker 2: one of the players that you've you've been told is great,
11:38
Speaker 2: but almost feels like he was the opposite of Jalen
11:42
Speaker 2: Brown for the analytics crowd. You guys don't understand how
11:44
Speaker 2: good my croud is, right, Well, yeah, I guess i'd
11:47
Speaker 2: understand if I saw him in any game of significance,
11:50
Speaker 2: right like where I can watch this guy win every
11:52
Speaker 2: single night and Jalen Brown say, yeah, but the analytics
11:55
Speaker 2: act he's actually not that good. This guy, his numbers
11:57
Speaker 2: are phenomenal. You don't realize because you just don't ever
12:00
Speaker 2: really watch him on his four at bats when they're
12:03
Speaker 2: winning seventy five games.
12:04
Speaker 6: It was the eleventh time he was elected to start
12:06
Speaker 6: in the All Star Game. That ties him with Cal
12:11
Speaker 6: Ripken and George Brett. And this again he's right by
12:15
Speaker 6: his you know, he's from Millville, New Jersey, which is
12:17
Speaker 6: forty miles on them from the Citizens Bank. And he's
12:21
Speaker 6: having a great time.
12:22
Speaker 3: You know, two time All Star Game MVP, three time
12:24
Speaker 3: League MVP.
12:26
Speaker 1: He's thirty five this month. That's gone quick. Thirty five.
12:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's he's having kind of a renaissance season
12:33
Speaker 3: playing center field again. You know, he's back to playing
12:36
Speaker 3: outfield where he's elite and always has been. He's got
12:39
Speaker 3: eighteen bombs this year, and it's just yeah, it's just
12:43
Speaker 3: a weird you know. He is one of the He
12:46
Speaker 3: is one of the more bizarre cases of like superstar studies.
12:50
Speaker 2: Well, and then if it was in any other market,
12:53
Speaker 2: how many years would we have heard the drum get
12:55
Speaker 2: beaten that he needs to go to a big market
12:57
Speaker 2: team that's going to give m a chance to win,
12:58
Speaker 2: or it would get hung over him like why are
13:00
Speaker 2: you not choosing to go somewhere and win? Why are
13:03
Speaker 2: you not demanding a trade to Philadelphia and go help
13:05
Speaker 2: out the Phillies their outfield.
13:07
Speaker 4: I mean, it gets, it gets, you know, hung around
13:09
Speaker 4: Aaron Judges deck that he hasn't won a World Series
13:11
Speaker 4: or hasn't done in the playoffs. You don't really hear
13:13
Speaker 4: that for Trout as much, right, I mean, And and
13:16
Speaker 4: you know what adds to that enigma is that he's
13:19
Speaker 4: sort of in that big market but sort of not
13:21
Speaker 4: also man like the idea that he's in a second
13:24
Speaker 4: fiddle in the world. Yeah, he's in LA, but it's
13:26
Speaker 4: not LA, it's Anaheim. So it is a unique situation,
13:29
Speaker 4: and you're right though he doesn't get that pressure from
13:32
Speaker 4: the public to validate his career like they do with
13:35
Speaker 4: Judge and some of these guys like he's almost like
13:37
Speaker 4: Tim Duncan, and Duncan never won a title, like consistently dominant, but.
13:41
Speaker 1: You're like never.
13:42
Speaker 3: You know, here's a couple from my boy, Tom Berducci.
13:45
Speaker 3: Trout hasn't played on a winning team in eleven years.
13:48
Speaker 3: The Angels in that time are seven seven and eight
13:53
Speaker 3: eighty six, a winning percentage of point four point fifty one,
13:56
Speaker 3: and they've burned through two hundred and thirteen pitchers in
13:59
Speaker 3: eleven years. He's only one of the two hundred and
14:03
Speaker 3: thirteen pitchers won more than twenty five games, and his
14:07
Speaker 3: name was Shoheo.
14:08
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say he was better at as
14:11
Speaker 1: a hitter. They have had in eleven years seven managers,
14:16
Speaker 1: three general managers, and they'll have a fourth because they
14:21
Speaker 1: have they're an interim GM right now. John Moseleyack, who
14:24
Speaker 1: used to be with Saint Louis Lewis.
14:26
Speaker 2: So does the when when he made his All Star
14:29
Speaker 2: debut at nineteen and nineteen years old, yep, nineteen years
14:32
Speaker 2: old fifteen years ago and now god and that year
14:37
Speaker 2: and this year, this year, the Angels could they're on pace,
14:41
Speaker 2: they could lose one hundred very much so. And like
14:43
Speaker 2: you just read there, it's not like he didn't have
14:45
Speaker 2: any teammates.
14:46
Speaker 3: So he has four and a half years in about
14:48
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty million dollars left on his contract.
14:51
Speaker 3: He has a total no trade veto power, and he
14:54
Speaker 3: said he doesn't think he's going to get traded, and
14:57
Speaker 3: that they don't really think they're going to trade him.
15:00
Speaker 3: You would think he'd be one a ring chase and stuff.
15:02
Speaker 2: You would think, I guess Drew. The other part of
15:04
Speaker 2: it is, I wouldn't. I would hope that he would
15:07
Speaker 2: get an opportunity to play somewhere with some relevance. But
15:10
Speaker 2: I just that als should be right for the taking.
15:14
Speaker 2: If you think that you have some kind of competency
15:17
Speaker 2: in the general manager chair and in the roster building,
15:19
Speaker 2: that you'd be able to compete with everybody else there.
15:22
Speaker 2: But last night, being in Philly, I thought that would
15:25
Speaker 2: if there would be anything that would give you and
15:28
Speaker 2: get the itch to say, I appreciate it. I think
15:31
Speaker 2: I've done my time here. Yeah, would you guys, move
15:33
Speaker 2: me somewhere else, and it would be to a team
15:35
Speaker 2: that you'd have obvious connection with. Philadelphia could use him.
15:39
Speaker 2: I mean, they desperately need some out here and right
15:41
Speaker 2: handed pop. I know that's what they're gonna be looking
15:43
Speaker 2: for at the deadline. But there's a lot of players
15:46
Speaker 2: there in Anaheim that they would be the They would
15:50
Speaker 2: be the test study where the players Association is cheering
15:53
Speaker 2: for the Brewers to win, right where you can win
15:56
Speaker 2: and not spend money. I think the owners are looking
15:58
Speaker 2: for the Angels and be like, see, spent a bunch
16:00
Speaker 2: of money and not do anything. This doesn't help at all.
16:02
Speaker 2: He had three hundred million dollars to Anthony Rendon, who.
16:05
Speaker 4: Apparently hates baseball, no doubt he's kind of like the
16:07
Speaker 4: anti Jannis. But the taste of success has not overwhelmed
16:10
Speaker 4: him to make the tough decision to leave, because I
16:13
Speaker 4: think that's what you happen to be honest, you know,
16:14
Speaker 4: I mean we can debate that.
16:15
Speaker 2: I don't know that the taste of success can happen
16:18
Speaker 2: If all they got and if your derve tray that
16:21
Speaker 2: walked into the other room.
16:22
Speaker 4: I think that's part of it. Once he tasted that world.
16:25
Speaker 4: He wanted to be back. He did not want to
16:27
Speaker 4: be irrelevant. And Mike Trout's okay with it because he
16:30
Speaker 4: didn't know what he doesn't know, and he doesn't know
16:31
Speaker 4: success as a team success, right? And that also, isn't
16:34
Speaker 4: that proof that this is the ultimate team game? Like
16:36
Speaker 4: Trout could do it as much as you can individually.
16:38
Speaker 4: You never help this team win if.
16:40
Speaker 1: They don't have any pieces around him. Not that they
16:42
Speaker 1: never did. Once upon a time there was a head
16:44
Speaker 1: at one point they were rolling on him, Poohols.
16:46
Speaker 2: And three of the best players of a generation of
16:50
Speaker 2: two generations. Yeah, him and Otani for sure.
16:53
Speaker 4: They were given that team like fifteen war and no
16:55
Speaker 4: one else could do anything, you know.
16:57
Speaker 3: So here's one in his Mike Trout's first All Star
17:01
Speaker 3: Game twenty twelve. He's nineteen years old. He replaced Josh
17:05
Speaker 3: Hamilton when he entered the game. Oh jeez, and he
17:08
Speaker 3: singled off Ra Dickey. That seems like it's like you're
17:12
Speaker 3: watching black and white film thinking those names.
17:14
Speaker 1: Man, all right, Dicky, what a story he was? Oh
17:16
Speaker 1: my goodness, former brewer like far Man, then became a
17:19
Speaker 1: knuckleballer wall Yeah, David Gasper still stinking about that. That's
17:23
Speaker 1: another one. Yeah, that's a good point. How'd they let
17:27
Speaker 1: that guy go? All right? Eight seven, seven, seven, nine
17:29
Speaker 1: four one, ninety seven three.
17:31
Speaker 2: Twenty fifteen, they're getting forty one bombs from Trout, they
17:35
Speaker 2: get forty bombs from Albert Pooholes.
17:37
Speaker 1: I remember he hit forty one year.
17:39
Speaker 4: That's okay, all right, then that's impressive, impressive stuff.
17:42
Speaker 2: No, his last four, his last three or four years
17:45
Speaker 2: were tough, but I mean he was still hitting twenty eight,
17:47
Speaker 2: forty thirty one, twenty three, twenty three. He was still
17:50
Speaker 2: hitting some bombs. It was just looking a little bit
17:52
Speaker 2: different in that poolholes Jersey. Once he hit thirty five,
17:54
Speaker 2: forty years old. Absolutely, that became a little bit different deal.
17:57
Speaker 4: That was. So they won eighty five games in fifteen.
17:59
Speaker 4: I guess that was their closest to That was their
18:02
Speaker 4: taste of relevancy.
18:03
Speaker 2: That was them walking by with the bacon wrapped shrimp
18:07
Speaker 2: and being like, see, this is what you get if
18:09
Speaker 2: you get to go to the playoffs.
18:10
Speaker 1: Let's have a meal. That would goods. All right, We've.
18:13
Speaker 3: Reached halftime of the week, halftime of today's show, indeed,
18:17
Speaker 3: and that means that Scout Dolphin's gonna pop and we'll
18:19
Speaker 3: get his thoughts about the Midsummer Classic.
18:21
Speaker 6: Bit of a snoozer, but it was it was baseball,
18:25
Speaker 6: it was there, it was on come on, it was
18:27
Speaker 6: on World Cup as well.
18:29
Speaker 1: Got another big match tonight with England and Argentina. They
18:31
Speaker 1: don't like each other, no, and I like that. I
18:34
Speaker 1: like that teams don't like each other.
18:35
Speaker 2: And I don't know, Drew, I thought people were a
18:37
Speaker 2: lot more messy positive.
18:39
Speaker 1: Uh.
18:39
Speaker 2: One of my best friends, one of the biggest soccer
18:41
Speaker 2: fans I know, Despieses apparently the messy angle. So I'm
18:44
Speaker 2: excited the Harry Kane fans or the messy fans today.
18:49
Speaker 1: He's looking a little tired, but he's thirty eight. What
18:51
Speaker 1: are you Oh, he's going through that grind of an
18:53
Speaker 1: MLS season. Yeah. Absolutely. The World Cup's taking its toll man.
18:57
Speaker 1: He's high level, high pressure games. We'll get to it.
19:00
Speaker 4: But it's like a Lebron Jordan thing. It's a messy
19:03
Speaker 4: Ronaldo thing.
19:03
Speaker 1: It's deeper.
19:05
Speaker 3: We've got Scott Dolphin from F one six country station
19:08
Speaker 3: on the whole. He's an next it's halftime, you're in
19:10
Speaker 3: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew,
19:18
Speaker 3: Billy and Arman, Halftime of the Program, Halftime of the Week,
19:21
Speaker 3: Halftime hits Different on Wednesday, and here's Scott Dolphin to
19:24
Speaker 3: help us through it.
19:25
Speaker 6: Hello Dolph, I Drew. I'm surprisingly alert this morning.
19:28
Speaker 1: I didn't not stay up for the end of the
19:30
Speaker 1: All Star It was also to stay awake halfway.
19:33
Speaker 3: Well, it was not surprising unless you're a big pitching fan.
19:36
Speaker 3: There wasn't much to get excited about. The National League
19:38
Speaker 3: didn't put a man on second base. Yeah, that was
19:41
Speaker 3: pretty brutal.
19:41
Speaker 6: I did enjoy the ceremonial signing of the Declaration of
19:45
Speaker 6: Baseball Independence.
19:47
Speaker 1: Kind of cool.
19:47
Speaker 6: That was probably the highlight for me. I thought, what's
19:50
Speaker 6: Chicago gonna do next year? Good luck Wrigley Field. Yeah,
19:53
Speaker 6: rig le Field is on the clock.
19:54
Speaker 3: Now they get the next All Star Game, and begs
19:57
Speaker 3: the question again, when's Milwaukee getting another one?
19:59
Speaker 2: It's our turn, it's been We've waited long due, So
20:02
Speaker 2: that answers my question. They don't go American League, National League.
20:05
Speaker 3: They just they they used to, but then they got
20:08
Speaker 3: off of the kilter and they just yeah, And I.
20:10
Speaker 2: Think somebody from the players Union said that kind of
20:13
Speaker 2: leaked out. The twenty twenty eight is going to be
20:14
Speaker 2: somewhere in California to accommodate the players potentially playing in
20:19
Speaker 2: the Olympics as well. So it's interesting to see who
20:22
Speaker 2: twenty thirty could be up.
20:23
Speaker 1: We'll do it.
20:23
Speaker 6: Who hasn't had one in a while? Out there? Petco's
20:25
Speaker 6: had it. They even call it Petco anymore.
20:27
Speaker 1: I don't even know.
20:28
Speaker 2: I want to say he said San Francisco, but I'm
20:30
Speaker 2: not possitive.
20:31
Speaker 1: I think San Franco. Yeah, and they've had one since
20:34
Speaker 1: we've had one, oh for sure. If it's when Anaheim
20:37
Speaker 1: had their last one, it's been a while.
20:38
Speaker 6: But if it's the logistics, I guess California would be
20:41
Speaker 6: would be the choice for the Olympics. But we we
20:44
Speaker 6: deserve one. Man, this is such a great baseball city.
20:46
Speaker 6: The are going to draw the three million again this year.
20:48
Speaker 6: It's been it'll be twenty and five.
20:51
Speaker 1: Years that It's not like the team hasn't been going.
20:53
Speaker 1: Lucky's come a long way. We kind of got ripped
20:55
Speaker 1: as like po Dunk and stuff.
20:56
Speaker 6: There were people who have to stay in Kenosha and stuff,
20:59
Speaker 6: and they were bitching about it and.
21:00
Speaker 1: I remember the articles.
21:01
Speaker 4: What do I have to go to Milwaukee where there's
21:03
Speaker 4: only four good restaurants and all these jerks Back then
21:07
Speaker 4: they had we had no recourse to clap back at them.
21:09
Speaker 1: There was no Now we have tall buildings and everything.
21:12
Speaker 1: We've come a long way in twenty some years we
21:14
Speaker 1: had the skyscrapers. I mean the third word is growing.
21:18
Speaker 4: We're going to get the fun bronze fans like updated
21:21
Speaker 4: or up or Pisa.
21:22
Speaker 1: Bronz Fons is being maintained right now. They took it.
21:24
Speaker 4: Down, so we're going to have that not there. Maybe
21:26
Speaker 4: I'm saying spruce. It'll be spruced up by then. It'll
21:29
Speaker 4: be sprucedybody then will have MVP park Billy my my
21:32
Speaker 4: dream for uh yeah, totally.
21:33
Speaker 1: They totally should do that stuff. Yeah, they totally should
21:35
Speaker 1: build that one. But I don't know what they're going
21:37
Speaker 1: to do with Wrigley next year. I don't know. Make
21:39
Speaker 1: everyone pretend they like old style beer.
21:41
Speaker 6: Maybe come out and take a bite of Chicago dog
21:43
Speaker 6: before that would be funny jumping line.
21:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody make Italian beef. They had to get in line.
21:48
Speaker 4: They get to pretend you're like, you know, deep dish,
21:50
Speaker 4: pizza and old style.
21:52
Speaker 2: Or if anything, they just ran out and gave him
21:53
Speaker 2: a cake shake from Portillo's.
21:55
Speaker 1: That would be a good one.
21:56
Speaker 2: Now, trying to run around the bases after loading your
21:58
Speaker 2: stomach with that good porn.
22:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the rickets. They'll probably try and block everyone's
22:02
Speaker 1: view and make them pay for it. Crush that Geno's East,
22:04
Speaker 1: but get to first base, you gotta eat us a
22:06
Speaker 1: big piece of Geno's East. Yeah, the dish that is
22:12
Speaker 1: the Bronze Fawns.
22:13
Speaker 6: You bring people that are visiting from out of town,
22:16
Speaker 6: is that one of the things on your go to.
22:17
Speaker 1: Lit You take them to the Bronze Fawns.
22:19
Speaker 3: I don't know about that. People usually ask about it,
22:21
Speaker 3: but it's yeah. But I know when artists play the
22:25
Speaker 3: paps here, they always walk over. They want to know
22:27
Speaker 3: because it's right there.
22:27
Speaker 6: So a lot of artists will do that, will put
22:29
Speaker 6: their take their pictures there and stuff because they.
22:33
Speaker 4: I think it's kind of like one of those things
22:34
Speaker 4: where people hear that we have a statue of the
22:36
Speaker 4: Faunds and then like really and then yeah, like you said,
22:38
Speaker 4: it's close enough to walk to it. But I don't
22:40
Speaker 4: think you go out of your way to see you guys,
22:42
Speaker 4: got to see the bronze fans for.
22:43
Speaker 1: Coming in towns. It is a checklist thing, though.
22:45
Speaker 4: Come on, Mary Tyler Moore is in Minneapolis, right, Yeah, yeah,
22:48
Speaker 4: I don't make a lot of Minneapolis for that's all.
22:51
Speaker 6: I remember when they were maybe it was the first
22:53
Speaker 6: year we we we were interviewing Tom Bosley, mister Cunningham
22:57
Speaker 6: from Happy Days, and I said, putting the bronze fads
23:00
Speaker 6: in the river walk here Milwaukee.
23:02
Speaker 1: I said, how about that?
23:03
Speaker 6: Your show's gonna live on for He seriously said, that's
23:06
Speaker 6: the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of.
23:08
Speaker 1: In my life.
23:09
Speaker 6: Oh grumpy, wow, not on board with the bronze fawns.
23:15
Speaker 1: I guess he liked it. I mean he thought he
23:19
Speaker 1: should get the stack Cunningham's hardware store. I run Cunningham's Hardware.
23:23
Speaker 1: What about me? Wow, fons was a thorn in his
23:26
Speaker 1: side some of the time.
23:27
Speaker 6: I think Milwaukee should bring back from the opening scenes
23:30
Speaker 6: of Lavernon Sureley, the Milwaukee was it welcomes you?
23:33
Speaker 1: Is that what it said on city?
23:37
Speaker 6: That wasn't me, That wasn't here when I got here.
23:40
Speaker 6: That must have been back in the seventies. That would
23:42
Speaker 6: do you remember that sign sign?
23:44
Speaker 1: Yeah? That was like, yeah, they could put up different
23:46
Speaker 1: messages and stuff.
23:47
Speaker 2: Would there be any way that we could ride out
23:49
Speaker 2: the starters on like a Harley?
23:51
Speaker 1: That would be good.
23:52
Speaker 4: Now, that would be right, you know, we are you
23:55
Speaker 4: know the thing, and people should start buying Harley.
23:57
Speaker 1: I don't know. They all have their uh no Motorcycle
23:59
Speaker 1: club their contracts, so maybe we can do sidecars.
24:04
Speaker 4: I remember when Robin Youll rolle out on his bike
24:07
Speaker 4: right in the eighties or something like that.
24:09
Speaker 1: Wasn't that the big deal? You were on the field.
24:11
Speaker 2: So San Francisco had it in two thousand and seven,
24:14
Speaker 2: so they would have been closer than Milwaukee was.
24:18
Speaker 1: Otherwise, it's been pretty standard.
24:21
Speaker 2: Anaheim had one in twenty ten, was the last time
24:23
Speaker 2: they had one, and then it was supposed to be
24:25
Speaker 2: at Dodger Stadium in twenty twenty obviously canceled due to
24:28
Speaker 2: the pandemic, and then they had it in twenty two.
24:30
Speaker 1: So the Brewers are kind of right in line with
24:32
Speaker 1: some of these.
24:33
Speaker 2: The only other one that's somewhat close was Cleveland had
24:36
Speaker 2: it in twenty nineteen and they had it in nineteen
24:39
Speaker 2: ninety seven, So six years.
24:41
Speaker 6: Has anybody waited longer than us? Twenty five, twenty six years?
24:45
Speaker 6: Whatever it's been.
24:46
Speaker 2: So Boston had it in nineteen ninety nine and it
24:50
Speaker 2: has not been back at Fenway.
24:52
Speaker 1: That surprises That does surprise me.
24:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially with all the success they've had and the
24:56
Speaker 4: fact that it's Fenway. And but that was the Ted
24:58
Speaker 4: Williams one right where all.
24:59
Speaker 2: The play Yeah, and then it was Safeco in two
25:03
Speaker 2: thousand and one, and it has not been back to Seattle.
25:06
Speaker 2: It would be right into that wheelhouse of where the
25:07
Speaker 2: Brewers were. Maybe they want the rest of the renovations
25:10
Speaker 2: to get figured finished before. Maybe they do that and
25:13
Speaker 2: they get it win arized, you know for the Royal Rumble,
25:15
Speaker 2: then they'll be ready for you know, the All Star Game.
25:18
Speaker 1: They'll put it in Vegas as soon as they humanly
25:21
Speaker 1: intantly possibly can, because the A's haven't hosted an All
25:24
Speaker 1: Star Game since nineteen eighty seven. Oh yeah, that's that
25:26
Speaker 1: one's coming for sure, So.
25:27
Speaker 6: Probably twenty twenty eight that they're going to get in Vegas.
25:30
Speaker 6: The Rays have never hosted a game, please, and they
25:32
Speaker 6: answered the league.
25:33
Speaker 1: In ninety eight they don't need to host a game.
25:36
Speaker 2: They might They might when they get their new stadium,
25:38
Speaker 2: but yeah, they won't. Now Colorado still hasn't hosted one
25:40
Speaker 2: since ninety eight.
25:42
Speaker 1: The Jays that Toronto our neighbors, so the Word nineteen
25:45
Speaker 1: ninety twenty one, they did nineteen ninety one, the Oriols
25:49
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three. Ooh, that's another.
25:52
Speaker 4: They put the Socks as a the White Sox as
25:56
Speaker 4: a host.
25:57
Speaker 1: Has it been Chicago?
25:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, the White Sox were two thousand and three, right, yep, Yeah,
26:01
Speaker 2: Astros two thousand and four after the Brewers.
26:03
Speaker 3: So there's a couple of teams are shafted in this
26:06
Speaker 3: all right A starting now, you would think Camden Yards
26:11
Speaker 3: was like the model that everybody wanted, like when that opens,
26:14
Speaker 3: like let's get a new park and make it look old.
26:16
Speaker 1: That was the big thing. And that's still my favorite ballpark.
26:20
Speaker 6: Like the just a sitting and exally just sitting in
26:24
Speaker 6: the ballpark and it looks like it's been there forever.
26:25
Speaker 6: You feel like you're watching that ballpark in the natural
26:28
Speaker 6: never been. But I know, if I remember my history,
26:31
Speaker 6: was it the the the out right field? Didn't baby wear,
26:34
Speaker 6: wasn't Babe Ruth raised there in an orphanage or something
26:37
Speaker 6: in that area area. I knew he's a Baltimore guy.
26:41
Speaker 6: The Inner Harbor is close, right, Yeah, I'd get some
26:43
Speaker 6: soft craft.
26:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's a There's Pickles Pub is the spot
26:47
Speaker 1: like this bar kind of just off of right field
26:49
Speaker 1: where he allegedly kind of grew up, Like Pickles opened
26:52
Speaker 1: that one after he was done with The Wire. Pickles Pub.
26:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, damn, that's a good comeback story from walking around
26:58
Speaker 2: the streets.
26:58
Speaker 1: Open in your old bar.
27:00
Speaker 3: That was Bubbles in the way, Bobbles Bobbles is a
27:03
Speaker 3: better name. Yeah, Pickles is the name of the pub instead.
27:06
Speaker 2: I do remember the camping yard scene from from The
27:09
Speaker 2: Wire when the kids getting interviewed outside of the stadium
27:12
Speaker 2: on opening day.
27:12
Speaker 1: Just like great movie, Great great Babe.
27:15
Speaker 4: Ruth's family lived a four or six conway in his
27:17
Speaker 4: street and his father operated a cafe on the ground
27:20
Speaker 4: floor this exact location situated in what is today the center.
27:23
Speaker 1: Fields of the stadium. That's cool. So there you go,
27:27
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. I didn't realize that the you know you.
27:30
Speaker 6: I remember as a kid, the National League never lost
27:32
Speaker 6: this game when I was growing up. They won every
27:34
Speaker 6: single year. Now the American League has won I think
27:38
Speaker 6: and and like in like twenty nine of thirty seven.
27:41
Speaker 6: It's been since nineteen eighty eight. They have just owned
27:44
Speaker 6: this series.
27:45
Speaker 2: And the funny thing is, Dolph, all the wins in
27:47
Speaker 2: the regular season have been on the National League side, true, right,
27:49
Speaker 2: I mean the National League dominated Inner League yes again
27:52
Speaker 2: this year, and instead they just shove on the pitching side.
27:57
Speaker 2: I did enjoy seeing though, a couple of future potential
27:59
Speaker 2: Milly Brewers on that on the on.
28:01
Speaker 1: That mounts as in future, as in as.
28:04
Speaker 2: In like hopefully in three weeks whether or not we
28:07
Speaker 2: can somehow pry the Red Sox into like an eight
28:10
Speaker 2: game losing streak and get them into cell mode and
28:12
Speaker 2: rold As Chapman can be up on that bomb or
28:15
Speaker 2: Joe Ryan come on down.
28:16
Speaker 1: Looked good in his one an.
28:18
Speaker 6: What sucks is the Red Sox have won what they
28:21
Speaker 6: went nine to no on their last road trip. They're
28:23
Speaker 6: a game out of the playoffs, and the American League,
28:25
Speaker 6: UH Central is awful, but everybody's in the Haunts right now.
28:31
Speaker 6: Everybody's right there, and the next land has some nice pitching.
28:35
Speaker 1: There's uh.
28:35
Speaker 2: There was a stat that Ken Rosenthal said that twenty
28:38
Speaker 2: two or twenty three of the Major League Baseball teams
28:42
Speaker 2: are within five or six games of.
28:44
Speaker 4: A playoff spoty right at this point, right now, And
28:46
Speaker 4: that's what expandon Walker was designed to do, right Yeah.
28:49
Speaker 2: But I mean, but I also don't know that it's
28:51
Speaker 2: ever done it to this exem It hasn't done it
28:53
Speaker 2: to this level yet. Right where, at this point in
28:56
Speaker 2: the season, this many teams can still convince themselves that
28:59
Speaker 2: they're not only in the race, but maybe should be
29:02
Speaker 2: higher up in the standings as to what kind of
29:03
Speaker 2: year they've already had.
29:04
Speaker 4: Emeric, the Royals and the Angels are ten games back
29:07
Speaker 4: of a wildcard. Those are the two that are really
29:09
Speaker 4: at the bottom. Other than that, the farthest out of
29:12
Speaker 4: the A's at six and a half games. Six and
29:14
Speaker 4: a half games is nowhere near an insurmountable thing to
29:17
Speaker 4: make up. I mean, I understand you're gonna jump teams.
29:19
Speaker 4: It is the wildcard race, but yeah, that's kind of
29:21
Speaker 4: what it is. And you know, back when we only
29:23
Speaker 4: had two divisions per league, or even way way back
29:25
Speaker 4: when it was one, you could be out of it
29:27
Speaker 4: by now and totally looking at you know, next season.
29:30
Speaker 6: How far where the Brewers back was it the one
29:32
Speaker 6: sixty three the game one sixty three year was that
29:35
Speaker 6: the year they came from They were.
29:37
Speaker 2: Five and a half back at the All Star break
29:39
Speaker 2: that year, okay, and I think four left with one
29:41
Speaker 2: a month ago. I mean they went in a nasty
29:43
Speaker 2: run obviously, so it was a good run. I mean, well,
29:46
Speaker 2: and then just looking at it, that does even more
29:48
Speaker 2: army when you put it in brass tacks. There's seven
29:50
Speaker 2: teams that are further than four games out. The Nationals
29:53
Speaker 2: are four games out of a wildcard spot.
29:55
Speaker 1: And even there they were going to trade abrams and
29:57
Speaker 1: they were gonna fire sale fires. Even they're in it.
30:00
Speaker 3: We'll see the next But as as Doug Melvin said,
30:04
Speaker 3: you know, your team will tell you. It dictates that
30:07
Speaker 3: the two weeks now, the next two weeks, all right,
30:10
Speaker 3: teams are going to decide whether.
30:11
Speaker 1: They're in it or not.
30:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what we get out
30:14
Speaker 6: of the Mets, who are here early next week. Right,
30:16
Speaker 6: If you come out of the break and you lose,
30:18
Speaker 6: you know, five out of seven, it makes your gmsa
30:21
Speaker 6: all right, great point cashing it ends well.
30:23
Speaker 3: This week. It's a huge week. This is a very
30:24
Speaker 3: important week for a lot of teams to decide.
30:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is moving day. This is Saturday at the Masters.
30:29
Speaker 2: We're gonna start figuring out who's going to be in position,
30:31
Speaker 2: where everyone's going on Sunday.
30:32
Speaker 6: Speaking of which, moving day, Billy dropping a golf reference
30:35
Speaker 6: on us, The Open Championship is this Weekend's right? Yeah,
30:38
Speaker 6: it starts about midnight tonight. Actually right, no one and
30:41
Speaker 6: no one cares. It's been like I still say, the
30:43
Speaker 6: PGA Tour and the golf overlords, they've screwed up their
30:46
Speaker 6: calendar so badly that they've they've just moved into the
30:49
Speaker 6: dustbin of irrelevance.
30:50
Speaker 2: We know where it is, because I mean, if it's
30:52
Speaker 2: in England, they got England though, Well, they're definitely not
30:54
Speaker 2: paying attention. They're not pani well they all they care
30:57
Speaker 2: about is today coming up at two o'clock.
30:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, two o'clock today, England and Argentina going at it
31:01
Speaker 3: and then semi and then they'll probably care when they
31:04
Speaker 3: lose Argentina.
31:05
Speaker 1: Oh I don't know, is that gonna happen? Yeah, fall right?
31:08
Speaker 3: If well, if England wins and they play in the final,
31:11
Speaker 3: it'll be nuts and that would be Sunday and Sunday
31:14
Speaker 3: Day of the British of the Open Champions. Yeah, it's
31:17
Speaker 3: at one of the Royals, right, Royal something Kirker.
31:20
Speaker 1: My boy, my boy, one of my buddies is playing
31:23
Speaker 1: Saint Andrews today. He's in oh, Scotland. Nice playing St
31:27
Speaker 1: Andrews day. He got through and he got that Royal
31:29
Speaker 1: Birkdale Golf, Birkdale.
31:31
Speaker 6: I always look forward to this tournament because I love
31:34
Speaker 6: to see these guys struggle with bad conditions. Sometimes there's rain,
31:38
Speaker 6: there's always wind, and the courses look like they're from
31:42
Speaker 6: medieval times, which they are in a lot of cases. True,
31:45
Speaker 6: they're not pretty, the esthetics aren't great, but you know,
31:48
Speaker 6: I love the fact that they can hit a three
31:49
Speaker 6: iron three hundred and thirty five yards on a window.
31:52
Speaker 1: Let it roll, Yeah, just let it roll like it's
31:54
Speaker 1: in a parking lot.
31:55
Speaker 2: And I was the I was the kid that would
31:56
Speaker 2: wake up at like four forty five and turn on
31:58
Speaker 2: anything ESPN really, so this was like one of the
32:01
Speaker 2: first times I watched golf when I was a kid.
32:03
Speaker 2: And then when I went to a golf course, I
32:04
Speaker 2: didn't realize that not every uh sandtrap had like a
32:09
Speaker 2: full wall in front of you. You had to get
32:11
Speaker 2: over that you're only finding here, which is too aesthetically good.
32:14
Speaker 6: Those pot bunkers you need a ladder to get in
32:16
Speaker 6: and out of. That's what you see at the at
32:17
Speaker 6: the Open Championship.
32:19
Speaker 1: Too funny, that's fun.
32:20
Speaker 2: It's also definitely our our game, right, Like, this is
32:23
Speaker 2: our tournament meeting the morning showtime, right, Like, if there's
32:26
Speaker 2: ever going to be some event that you get to

32:56
Speaker 6: I love Michael Kim and Tom Kim. A lot of
33:00
Speaker 6: good Kim. There's a lot of good Kim.
33:02
Speaker 4: There's a lot of LPGA might sound crazy, but I
33:05
Speaker 4: can't believe anyone would want to do that.
33:07
Speaker 1: Arm likes Kim Kardashian. But that's fair, that's fair solid
33:10
Speaker 1: Kim right to get up in one of the morning
33:12
Speaker 1: this year.
33:13
Speaker 2: There's a lot of folks I want to up at
33:15
Speaker 2: one am to see Kim Kardashian.
33:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, some guys like Shuffler. I think off at what three,
33:20
Speaker 6: four am something like that.
33:22
Speaker 4: Is it that important to watch someone golf that you
33:23
Speaker 4: gotta get up, man, that's cool for if you were
33:26
Speaker 4: really that into.
33:26
Speaker 1: It, but just to watch the starting lineups. I'm not
33:28
Speaker 1: really going to these guys.
33:29
Speaker 4: So why am I chairing for I never understood chairing
33:31
Speaker 4: for the individual, Like, I don't get it.
33:34
Speaker 1: Not my brother. Like as for the timing, it is
33:37
Speaker 1: nice it will have something on the live yeah, absolutely, yeah,
33:40
Speaker 1: but uh.
33:41
Speaker 3: I had someone I had someone bitching me like why
33:44
Speaker 3: are these games on? Like you know yesterday with Spain
33:46
Speaker 3: France a huge game, and why why is that game
33:48
Speaker 3: in the.
33:49
Speaker 1: Middle of the afternoon. Why don't they have it at night?
33:51
Speaker 3: I wonder they didn't want to go against the All
33:53
Speaker 3: Star game last night. Well yeah, that and that's for
33:56
Speaker 3: the world and the teams involved, or it's prime time
33:59
Speaker 3: for them.
34:01
Speaker 1: Europe's Roman Empire. They don't watch in the middle of
34:04
Speaker 1: the night. This is for it's for Europe, and so
34:06
Speaker 1: it is. It's the World Cup, so therefore afternoon games
34:09
Speaker 1: here is like that.
34:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, it slapped me in the face when I when
34:12
Speaker 2: Belgium scored their first goal of their four against the
34:15
Speaker 2: USA and everyone was in like winter jackets and was
34:18
Speaker 2: three am.
34:18
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, they got to be pissed. Oh, yeah,
34:20
Speaker 1: they gotta be pissed. Absolutely. Do you find yourself rooting
34:23
Speaker 1: for other than the Ryder Cup?
34:25
Speaker 6: Do you find yourself rooting for Americans in golf tournaments
34:28
Speaker 6: like the British Open?
34:29
Speaker 1: A great question.
34:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically you play under a flag, especially because all
34:33
Speaker 2: the betting favorites are all European guys. Matt Fitzpatrick, John Ram,
34:37
Speaker 2: Scottie Scheffler's not giving us a whole lot of reason
34:40
Speaker 2: to believe.
34:40
Speaker 1: Now he missed the cut last week. Did any of
34:42
Speaker 1: the Scottish? Did not look good at all. But it's
34:44
Speaker 1: not like the Olympics.
34:45
Speaker 2: We cheer even though even though in Tennessee so some
34:48
Speaker 2: of us do, I was rooting for some of us don't.
34:51
Speaker 2: Hang up our patriotic life. Well, sorry, we don't pick
34:55
Speaker 2: and shoes though.
34:56
Speaker 4: When I was watching Wimbledon, I always look for what
34:58
Speaker 4: Americans are left first.
35:00
Speaker 1: Sure, but it's just we don't think of it the same.
35:03
Speaker 1: Maybe they were doing I'm wrong, I don't because I was.
35:06
Speaker 6: I was hoping Rory would get the the Grand Slam
35:09
Speaker 6: at the Masters a couple of years ago. I was
35:10
Speaker 6: pulling for Rory. I well, I'm of Irish descent. Maybe
35:15
Speaker 6: that's why.
35:17
Speaker 2: Wheelhouse that one plays. I mean, yeah, so you're a
35:20
Speaker 2: big Shane Lowry fan. Generally speaking, I always cheer for Shane.
35:24
Speaker 6: I would love to have a couple of beers in
35:27
Speaker 6: the pub with Shane Lowery, and it.
35:28
Speaker 2: Appears Shane has a couple. That's That's generally why I'm
35:32
Speaker 2: always Shane Lowry the weirdest damn thing.
35:34
Speaker 6: When we were over there a couple of years ago,
35:36
Speaker 6: we were drinking, and we're on this side of island.
35:38
Speaker 6: We were in County Claire, County Cork, and we're drinking Murphy's.
35:41
Speaker 6: They love Murphy's Irish style and the locals are drinking
35:44
Speaker 6: cores light. I'm like, what are you doing?
35:46
Speaker 1: He said?
35:46
Speaker 6: If we drank that all day every day. They'd have
35:49
Speaker 6: to take us out of here in a wheelbarrow. So
35:51
Speaker 6: a tourist light in Ireland that was disappointed. That's the spacer.
35:56
Speaker 6: That's their version of them getting two messed up. I'm
35:58
Speaker 6: switching the beer. I'm switching to a marror, switching the beer.
36:00
Speaker 1: I'm getting too I'm getting too turned up. And that's
36:03
Speaker 1: a switch to beer.
36:04
Speaker 3: That's a Wisconsin thing, all right, Dolf, good run today,
36:07
Speaker 3: Thank you very much for getting us through halftime. And
36:10

36:21
Speaker 1: It's the huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
36:33
Speaker 3: I take compte get him to us eight seven seven
36:35
Speaker 3: seven nine seven through Drew Billy and arm and Fox
36:38
Speaker 3: Sports Radio Wisconsin.
36:41
Speaker 1: Hot Take.
36:43
Speaker 3: Folks like our buddy Elbaldo and al Michaels and I
36:47
Speaker 3: guess Andy Herman and others are having a moment right now.
36:50
Speaker 3: The people who don't eat salads and a lot of
36:52
Speaker 3: leafy greens and produce it's the explosive diarrhea outbreak that's
36:56
Speaker 3: going on, and they're telling you like not.
36:58
Speaker 1: You eat salads and stuff. They're like, I'm wait ahead
37:00
Speaker 1: of you. This is their moment. This is their moment
37:03
Speaker 1: waiting for kid.
37:03
Speaker 4: If you're a ten year old kid and you're doing
37:05
Speaker 4: your homework, this is when you tell your parents, I
37:07
Speaker 4: can't eat vegetables this week. Sorry, I just need chicken nuggets.
37:11
Speaker 4: MZ put out that Taco Bell was linked to it,
37:14
Speaker 4: and I was like, wait a second. I just thought
37:15
Speaker 4: that was a byproduct, Like I thought that was part
37:17
Speaker 4: of I thought that was like getting wet on a
37:20
Speaker 4: water ride, exact explosive diarrhea. Yeah, it's part of the effect.
37:24
Speaker 4: It's part of why you go.
37:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, people say that, like, that's not even spicy food.
37:28
Speaker 3: It's not so bland, and Taco Bell is so not, like,
37:31
Speaker 3: you know, authentic. Don't come at Taco Bell.
37:34
Speaker 2: Hold on, you're telling me the fast food drive through
37:39
Speaker 2: American Mexican chain is not authentic.
37:42
Speaker 1: You're telling me a is not authentic Mexican, that it's
37:47
Speaker 1: gonna give you diarrhea or like somehow upset your stomach.
37:50
Speaker 1: Come on, it doesn't any I agree, it's just a
37:53
Speaker 1: it's just a joke. It's a revenue. Yeah, it's a joke.
37:55
Speaker 6: It's an old deal, Like you know, it's an old
37:57
Speaker 6: joke about oh yeah, you go to Taco Bell.
37:59
Speaker 1: Dobe had that years ago. Can you run for the border, No,
38:02
Speaker 1: run for the crapper. Sure, it's a joke, but I
38:05
Speaker 1: think it's a fact. I don't know.
38:06
Speaker 2: I don't know that you don't get explosive diary from
38:09
Speaker 2: going to Taco Bell.
38:10
Speaker 4: I've gone a lot of times and not gotten it.
38:12
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, okay, but I get that that's sort
38:15
Speaker 4: of the fun.
38:15
Speaker 1: After you eat.
38:16
Speaker 2: Taco Bell, you know what you're in for the next morning. Well,
38:19
Speaker 2: you you don't get you have.
38:20
Speaker 1: It as a fourth meal. Maybe it's the other things
38:22
Speaker 1: that you're consumer. I don't.
38:23
Speaker 2: I don't.
38:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like that's that's just a part of it. No,
38:27
Speaker 1: I get the point.
38:28
Speaker 4: I get the point is it's not because the let
38:30
Speaker 4: is it's already that I don't go.
38:33
Speaker 1: To Taco Bell ever. Really a lot of taco trucks
38:37
Speaker 1: because they're all over the place, you know, and that's
38:39
Speaker 1: much better. Those are good too. I'm not I'm not.
38:43
Speaker 1: But why don't.
38:44
Speaker 6: Then why don't Why doesn't Why don't q Dooba and
38:47
Speaker 6: Chippotle have those same reputations.
38:50
Speaker 1: I think they probably do. Nobody talks about explosive that
38:54
Speaker 1: nobody makes it. Did you have to go to because
38:57
Speaker 1: one of them has a drive through?
39:01
Speaker 2: I don't know why that's that dumb. I don't know
39:03
Speaker 2: how that's a crazy difference. It's like that's like calling
39:06
Speaker 2: burger king and five guys the same thing. They're clearly
39:09
Speaker 2: different on one's a fast casual you sit down, one
39:13
Speaker 2: of them is the middle of the grease by the
39:15
Speaker 2: bottom of the burger.
39:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think the point is what is the
39:18
Speaker 4: specific thing that one should get the reputation over the other.
39:21
Speaker 4: You're saying it's based in fact, I don't know that
39:23
Speaker 4: there's data to support it, though maybe.
39:26
Speaker 1: Eighty years of data would probably be the cakes.
39:30
Speaker 4: Well okay, but but I don't know, Okay, whatever.
39:33
Speaker 1: But was the implication that the food like that's clean,
39:36
Speaker 1: that the kitchen's not cleaned, I don't know. Maybe maybe
39:38
Speaker 1: that's the theory. They were the first ones to like
39:40
Speaker 1: just say, and Michigan's been where a lot of the
39:42
Speaker 1: outbreaks are like they're Michigan's like getting hammered with outbreaks
39:46
Speaker 1: or they're reporting the most. So I guess the Taco
39:49
Speaker 1: Bells and Michigans that we're not serving lettuce or cilantro
39:52
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, the stuff that's.
39:53
Speaker 2: Kind I'm trying to get the cantina where we're telling
39:56
Speaker 2: you that it's healthy stuff at Taco Bells.
39:58
Speaker 1: Oh, that's the problem.
40:00
Speaker 2: It's like if you go if you went to McDonald's
40:02
Speaker 2: and got the salad, yeah, you probably weren't gonna enjoy as.
40:05
Speaker 1: Much as a quarter pounder with cheese. Yeah. Yeah, but
40:07
Speaker 1: you're right. This is now the renaissance for the anti
40:10
Speaker 1: vegetable CRUs it is.
40:11
Speaker 3: So they're having a moment right now. I'm just saying, hey,
40:13
Speaker 3: it's sick for Who's Hot?
40:14
Speaker 1: Who's not?
40:15
Speaker 3: Brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson Heating and Cooling. We
40:17
