  Speaker 1: the big room. Feels good, feels good, he's not behind
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the board. David Gasper sliding into the producer's chair. This morning,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: we are ready to bring it to you, and we
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: begin the show with the declaration that I am not,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: nor have I ever been pregnant, but I have this weird,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: suspicious craving for pea soup this morning. Oh okay, that's
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: what I just drove through to get to the megaplex.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Somebody run to the grocery store and get this man
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: some pea soup before that craving either goes.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Away or becomes very, very ornery. Nobody had the grocery
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: store has the pea soup to my standards, because Grandma
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: used to make this unbelievable with the leftover ham from
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: like the Easter ham or something. You go Grandma's and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you get the pea soup afterwards. It was incredible. Yeah,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: maybe a little extra bacon from breakfast thrown into.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: The two or three day Wednesday after a holiday of
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: just wait, Grahama's been cooking it up. Yep, that's always
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: one of the best days to return.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Grandma was cooking up every day every year show for
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: her house at luncheon. It was always soup from last
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: night's leftovers.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: And it was amazing nine or ten in the morning
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: getting ready for dinner that night.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Oh man, what a life. Incredible. But yeah, it's very
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: foggy out there, and then it's gonna burn away this morning,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and then we're gonna have a really nice sunny day.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: And at four o'clock here in our parts and earlier
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: in Madison, we're gonna get the fourth circle of hell
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: of flooding, rain, tornadoes, your weather people going twenty four
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to seven, and then finally we're gonna get some relief.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And I guess next week's gonna be dry. But man,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: batting down the hatches folks like you, guys that are
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: digging out one more day. How much carpeting have you
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: seen by the side of the road in the subdivisions
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and stuff. It's incredible. Yeah, I've seen a decent amount.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: And the tough thing is it's the folks that were
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: ahead of the curve right looking at this a little
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: bit forward thinking, and then us they'd get stuck in
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the mud and get into the back. Are the ones
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: that are waiting for it man, my neighbor. For the
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: last month, these two young people have been out just
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: grinding away in this yard. I mean going absolutely ham
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: laying stone, a lot of mulch, digging this part out.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: It was a bought the house last year, right, so
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: they're putting their touches on it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Andrew. The one thing that I didn't realize, what are
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: they what are they doing in front? Because obviously I'm
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a little nosy. Yeah, I'm old.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Now you're officially old. I'm officially old. I sit in
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: my house and I look at what other people are doing.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You can judge it.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: You sit in the garage during storms. You watch World
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: War two documentaries. Year old.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm finding I'm trying to find an outdoor rocker.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: If anybody has one, let me know. Facebook. Marketplace is
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a scary place, and I'm looking there and now by
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the front, up by the street, what are you doing? Well,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: they redug their little tunnel and funnel for the water
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: to run away from their house and run away from
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the yard. Well, they're the only ones that the water
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: is not standing across the street.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So it seems like if you are the.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Early bird, you can get the worm, and they dug
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of worms out. But right now the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: worms aren't flying through their drive now because they're getting
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: pushed up past the grass.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: My goodness. You can reach out to us on the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: nicolay lot dot com talking text on eighty seven seven
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: seven nine four one ninety seven three. Yeah, the weather
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: has been the big topic. How about the Brewers winning
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a series against fin America League champion Toronto Blue Jays
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: yesterday death by paper cut? They bunted their way to victory.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Who to thunk that?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And what's better than kicking the crap out of someone
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: two to one? Doing it twice? Yeah, back to back
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: days against the reigning defending Ale Central or ALE champs.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: And to be able to do it, Drew, uh, you
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: mentioned it in Brewer fashion, but also still not necessarily
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: get the big knock, would leave the optimistic fans to
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: say they're still around the corner. But also, you're gonna
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: have to be able to scrap away wins, however, you
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: dang well can with the lineup looking the way it is. Yeah,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you lose a game when you score seven, You win
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: a couple when you score two.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: That's a pitching game. That's a bullpen game. That's you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you had some heroics. A Sprote was good, Chad Patrick
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: was good the day before, and you gotta just you know, win.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: The way you can win tonight is Murph's mantra. And
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it's pretty a propos And maybe they have to focus
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: on bunting guys around because they don't have von Churio
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and now Yelich.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: You could argue in their lineup yesterday they had what
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: five or six of their best offensive players not in
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the lineup, like you can you can make an argument
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: of it. And then to still be able to prevail
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: is a tough is a big thing. I also love
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the fact that we've been we were sitting around. We
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: asked hunter yesterday, we asked folks at eight seven seven
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: seven nine four one nine seven three on the talking
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: text line, when's the next place that you see Trevor McGill.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: How is he deployed the next time out? Well, it's
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: in a eighth inning, high high leverage, and you get
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to see him screaming obscenities at the visiting dugout. Maybe
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: not the eighth inning in a leverage spot, but barking
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: at the opponent exactly I think what Trevor McGill needed
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to be able to get himself back on here.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was something else. Get a little dust
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: up in there, a little heat, yeah, a little juice,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and you know he got the warm embrace of Brewers fans.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: You know, people want him to be well, you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: welcome back. You know, you got a little ovation that's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you know, was noticed and uh when you look at this, yeah,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: it was too early to write the guy off. That
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: was a hell of a bounce back after a couple
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: of stinker outings and we were wondering, Yeah, it was
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: started as an opener. We were like, you know, we
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: still don't know who tonight's starter is, David Gaspers. Here
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: have they declared a starter for tonight.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: They have not declared officially, but yesterday's triple A starter,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Coleman Crow, was mysteriously scratched before the game, so that
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: a short flight to Miami. Yeah that's a remarkable name,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Coleman Crow. Oh yeah, just wait till you see his curveball.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Colman Crow CC throwing Big Seed. Loved his work directing
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the movie Almost Famous. Oh wait, that was Cameron Crow.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, never mind, not of the counting Crows,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Colman Crow.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: He needs to have them as like his walkout music,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: like to start the game playoffs.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: That's gotta be. Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Well, and to be able to get sprout somewhat back
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not somewhat back on track. He was phenomenal yesterday
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and getting himself out of a couple of big jams.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: This is the early portion of the baseball season, right,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: There's always gonna be the ups and downs. I think
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: my favorite part, though, Drew, you mentioned it the embrace
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: for McGill from the fans.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I guess maybe maybe.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: We should have made a bigger deal out of the
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Murpha not liking the fans booing, because it didn't seem
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to me to have many legs outside of all of
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the conversations with different you know, father in laws around
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the state, They're like, man, he was mad at the fans.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Isn't mad at the fans. I don't even think the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: fans were that mad. They were mad at Trevor McGill,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: who likes watching somebody blow a lead in the ninth
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: inning back to back games, But it was more of
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: a frustration of the fact that this team had lost
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: six straight.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Come on, Fellas.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: It felt like more of a booing of the Brewers
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: than the individual walking off of the mound exactly.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And for Murph.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: To be able to couch it and go right at
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: it probably big time in the locker room. And I
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: think for fans yesterday it was hey, Fellas, we love you.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: But we got a little bit of a standard now
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: here because we've been we've grown accustomed to a certain
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: standard of living. Drew these early two thousands and nineties
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Brewers are not what people are expecting nowadays. They're expecting, true,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: at least eighty one wins, and we're not going to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: celebrate that game, so we don't have a losing season.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: There is indeed a standard and uh yeah, I mean expectations.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It's funny that it's you know, I'm still it's still
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: novel to me. Even though it's like this this run
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of success, people like playoffs is like not acceptable anymore.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: We got to go further than just making the playoffs.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Like I think making the playoffs is still pretty good.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: The playoffs still really good. Run still pretty good. I
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: don't know when I'll get tired of that, but I'm
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: not yet. No, you know, it's like, oh, Okay, make
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, and if you don't win a series, why
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: even bothering that whole thing? Like, okay, like let's look
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: at the bucks. They just they just end a run
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of being in a playoffs. Which do you prefer one
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and done in the playoffs or not in the playoffs.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I'll take the one and done in the playoff. Yeah,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I'll take the one and done in the playoffs. And
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I was tapping around a little bit this morning before
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: we got in here on Doc Rivers now doing the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: he's doing the car wash, the podcast car Wash Media
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: car He was doing.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: It before, and it's like he's quick, he's getting in there.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: What happened was Buddy Bill Simmons. What happened was suddenly
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: players have time on their hands, and Miles Turner is
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: doing a pod and other people are popping in and
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: talking about and corroborating the shams reporting of the dysfunction
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and toxic nature of the locker room.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: The way that Miles Turner said it is. I don't
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: know who they might They must have had a tape
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: recorder in there, because it felt like it was word
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: for words. But yeah, it happened. Yeah, it definitely happened
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: it was. It was I'm not the snitch. I'm not
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the snitch. But yeah, that's exactly that's pretty much. Yeah
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: that whoever it was happened, whoever it was must have
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: taped it.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Well, and you know, I don't know, maybe maybe there
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: was an assistant coach that the one of the job
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: and we've we've seen how that could potentially happen. I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: just I'm fascinated where he said it to Simmons and
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: just you know, a Doc fashion, I.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Was talking ownership a couple of months ago, and all
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, like seven weeks ago, he comes up
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: to me. We had this really good meeting, great meeting,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: and all of a sudden they're talking about what do
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: we want to do the next year year and a half.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: And I said, oh no, oh no, I'm done. I'm done.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna be I'm out. So he was he was
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: in the straight Magic Johnson with about seven weeks to go.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: That would also have been before said meeting. So if
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: it was seven weeks ago, makes sense how that March
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: twenty first meeting went, because it would the timeline would
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: map out that right around the end of February, Doc said, yeah.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be, this is gonna be for me. Yeah.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Well then Doc, if you're trying to fire the boys up,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: like once more into the breach boys, what do you
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I mean? You just like trying to protect your all
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: time record and winning percentage, just watching it go down
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: like you're a four ho one k when the market
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: goes bad, like what.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: I've taken sorrier teams to the playoffs in this and
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: I totally thought this was gonna be a team.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's incredible, doctor.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: By the way, I'm old enough to remember. I'm old
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: enough to remember Doc Rivers playing at Marquette and uh,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Doc Rivers, wonderful guy. Everything about him in his uh,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: every time he's come through Milwaukee. He has been a
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: great ambassador. Deserves to be in the Hall of Fame
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: for his longevity. What is he in the top five?
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Like all time wins of NBA Colls definitely top ten
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to deserve it. Hall of Fame for coach not he
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: might not have been a Hall of Fame player, but
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: they do. They are pretty generous with those jackets. Yeah,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and they go like service to the game. Yeah, he
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: definitely is a Hall of Famer. And he's I think
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: from everything I've heard, like a Hall of Fame person
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: in terms of interactions, and he's with the city in
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the community. Uh, but I think he's kind of overrated
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: as an NBA coach, right, And he was not wrong.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: He was not the right man for the job. When
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the Bucks brought him in, it was like, what are
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: you papering over? It reminds me of when when the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Bucks ownership, when Lasar and Edens in this new group
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: came in. Remember they had Gus Johnson be their TV
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: guy for a year. Anybody asked for that? Is Gus
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Johnson a fit for Milwaukee? No? No, like they thought
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: it would work and find out on that Kyle Lowry
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: came winner. Yeah, and when he went nuts and yeah,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: it's like, is that a fit?
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: It was?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Did it get you attention? Did it get you did
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: it in any way? Did it help the you know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: seemed like it should have worked. We could take a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: big name and a guy who was successful and put
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: him in, put him in and it works. I got
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a big name and put him in. You're like, that's
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: not necessarily how things work in these parts anyway?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Well, in these parts and kind of in sports trew right,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: like it just always sounds best. Grab the big name,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: pay the most money, and it works out. Now granted
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: that there's really there can be real uh credence, I
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: think to fans frustrations of Haslam and whatever effects he's
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: had on the team, because that's.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Kind of what they do in Cleveland. Yeah, right, right,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: like it does. It's Don Watts's not working.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Let's give it to Sean Watson eighty million dollars more
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: than anybody else has given him, and we see how
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: that plays out. The thing about Doc when they moved
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: off of Griffin, which we I think the biggest argument is,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: was Griffin the right hire at the beginning when you
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: could have had Kenny Atkins, who you know, has had
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Cleveland as the number one seed a couple of times,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: still hadn't done anything in the playoffs. Nick Nurse, who
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: has Philadelphia into the playoffs, still haven't done anything since,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: still going there, So like that's there's a weird one
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: as to who you would have went with. But once
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: you decided to relieve Griffin in the middle of the year,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: it was like, dang, this is a pretty pretty small
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: pool that we're going to be fishing in and it
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: made some sense, I guess, But when you have to
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: give him four years and forty million and you're already
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: still paying two others, he you were, you were locked
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: in for a while, and it was it was pretty
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: clear after what maybe year one one and a half
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: that it wasn't gonna work, but they were still so
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: sunk with it. They were pot committed that there was
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: nothing else to go with. And Doc Hall of Fame
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: SoundBite always tremendous for the media. That's where we had
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of time where you could possibly see that
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: the coach on the sideline might not have been that great,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: but every time that he walked into the press conference
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: was dang, we're gonna get something. And for the radio
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: show the next day, it's where we were smiling ear
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to ear knowing that he was gonna give a sound
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: bite and uh delivered enough of them, and now we
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: need to figure out who on earth is I'm fine, though, Drew,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: if the next guy's a brutal SoundBite, as long as
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: they can win games.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: That's the trade off. I make that trade.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I'll make the trade, and we'll sacrifice for the good
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: of the content of the show because we'll make up
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: We'll take it. If the next Bucks coach is not
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a good SoundBite, as long as they went, well, why
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: did people put up with belichicks as long as they did?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: In his antics, which being a copycat, top down operation
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: like now football and sports is every coach tried to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: copy that and tried to be you know, Docs, Murph's
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit different. He beat.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: He vibrates as Yeah, he vibrates at his own frequency.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: And I've said before like yeah, Murph's act, introduce yourselves.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: And when we're playing the Dodgers and you got fifty
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Japanese reporters who were like, what is this going on?
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: What custom is this? Like we're not used to this?
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was quaint because you're winning, because
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you're in the NLCS. If you're losing, that worse thin
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and people get sick of everything. Like you can have
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the most popular guy in the world. If you don't win,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you're not going to be that popular long enough to
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: become the villain very very quick. And that's Doc's thing. So, Docs,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: depending on what happens with the Honest and where the
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Bucks go from here, if the Bucks bounce back from this,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and like they somehow rise up and are successful pretty quickly.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna remember like Doc's tenure. Really it's going to
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: be like nah, blip on the radar kind of deal. Yeah,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: it could end up being like it could up being like,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: oh man, when they heard that guy is when it
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: really went, you know, the beginning of the end.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Uh huh.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Well, and people now it seems like the race to
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: say what the beginning of the end was, and some
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: people are still saying the firing of Mike Botenholzer.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I think that one was pretty That one was pretty justified.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: You were the number one overall seed and he got
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: smacked by an eight seed at the time, or or
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: it was the Damian Lillard trade, or it was the
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: firing of Adrian Griffin instead drew it all. Some people
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: still I do believe we're going to go back to
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: that ownership change. As to when it changes, I don't
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: know that I can pinpoint it there, but you can
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: definitely tell that was when everything around the situation kind
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: of changed. And maybe that's more of when it changed
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: with Giannis was when the people that he was the
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: most familiar with, that he had grown up with, that
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: he remembered and knew everybody.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: When that started.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Changing, well, you didn't seem like you had the same Uh,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: what's the best way of putting it. You didn't get
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: the benefit of the doubt as much exactly every single
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: year that you were going to be able to make
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: something good.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a reminder of uh.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: And when Joannist didn't play in the All Star Game,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: when he was hurting on the sidelines, that was kind
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: of a preview of what life was like when there
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: was no bucking uniform and the remembrance. But this is
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: gonna be a reminder of how long the NBA playoffs
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: are When you're not in it, they grind out. But
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: like the a little bit like the NFL playoffs, it's
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: like you just have you just like, oh man, it
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: it's you know, it's it's a different We're seeing the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: other side now and you can get spoiled quickly. It's
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: not it is it is now.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: We are the squid Ward meme where we're sitting out
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: seeing everybody run around, have fun, get excited about their
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: two seven matchups and they're four fives and sure we
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: maybe get in the second round.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: With like did you see crowds, you're seeing face painters,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: and you're just sitting here like, well, wh when's the draft?
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I guess I gotta watch three on threes in Chicago,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Illinois and yeh draft. Okay, So and I was thinking
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: about this too because would get ready for the draft.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: And I looked at some mocks believe it or not,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I'm on, now, all right, let's go, and I'm looking up.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at that first round and I'm like, wow,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Chiefs have a top ten pick. When's the last time
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: that happened? And it's like Chiefs fans they experienced it
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: like last year, Like what we're not We're not in
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the conference championship game every year?
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: What the hell this isn't wait? I thought it was
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: the Eurowhead Invitational.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Ray Liota on the porch at the end of Goodfellas,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: like you know, it's like I used to be something
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and now I'm just a schnook and I'm living like
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: everybody else.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Luckily Bucks, Yeah, Luckily that schnuck might still have its
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: game coming back a little bit later, if depending on
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: when when Number fifteen gets.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Some offensive liman to protect the guy that will. But
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: they have a top ten pick, and they haven't been
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: in this situation, so maybe that's novel for them that
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: they're paying attention to the top of the draft and
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: they're paying attention to the first hour of coverage, whereas
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: in the past they probably didn't well in the rams.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, they went from a time when they would
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: legit buy a vacation for draft week because they're like,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: we got like four picks and they're all on Day three.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: We'll figure it out then, but we're gonna be hanging
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: out here in Malibu with everybody. All right, bring your families,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: bring your wives, whatever, have some fun. Now they got
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: to pick in the top thirteen and they had two
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: first round picks, so they flipped the script on where
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: they're at. I'm excited for it, and I'm also excited
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: for Drew. I was joking about it with Nag's yesterday.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: The shortest draft of all time, the shortest first round
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: of all time. After the NFL moves off two more shaves,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: off two more minutes of the first round clock, now
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: granted two first round picks for the Cowboys means that
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: they're gonna go there full eight minutes and potentially plus
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: because Jerry's got to get like four or five different
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: versions of has Time on there, but it's gonna be
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: the fastest first round of all time. And I'm just
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: disappointed that we don't get to enjoy the benefit of
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the packers picking in I don't know, twenty six and
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: that happening in two and a half hours instead of
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: four and a half hours like we were accustomed to.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Exactly, we are looking forward to your interaction today. Seven.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I'll admit, even with like no Brewers game to watch
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: last night, there was nothing really on my plate last night.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I have fomo for an event that took place last night,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and I will tell you what that event is. I
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: it's and it's like it's almost I won't say it's
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: crushingly disappointing that I did not partake in this event,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: but it is. Uh, it's a regret after after a
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: little bit reviews with more of it too. Yes, indeed

  Speaker 2: that kid in the in the the locker room stand.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I think I got my swaga back. I happened to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: be a fan of the team bonding things that.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Blake Perkins was suited and booted like he had the
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: suit jacket buttoned up.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Miami. Yeah, there are some fans of a certain age
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and back during my Beat days, they may have PTSD
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: because of a famous incident with the Brewers in sweep suits. Mmm.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I believe it was like one, I don't I have
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to check it. My memories foggy like the weather outside.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: But the Brewers swept a series at Wrigley and then
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: they decided to celebrate, and they were on their way
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh, and they said they had had these suits,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: so they all dressed up like gangsters, like kind of
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: zoot suits. They all looked like the twenties. Yeah, and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: then were it was a team bonding thing. It was funny,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and they were waiting to sweep a series on the
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: road and they put the suits on, and then they
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: went to Pittsburgh and they were thirty eight and thirty
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: four at that time. They went to Pittsburgh and got
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: swept and they lost sixty of the last ninety games
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: in the season. Oh oh no. And they finished the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: season sixty eight and ninety four, So that sweep suit
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: got a lot of runs. The sweep suit got a
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: lot to run. It was like the curse of the
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: sweep suits. Good job, you guys are rolling, you're four over,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: you're on a high. Let's put on these dumb suits.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Fly to Pittsburgh and get ours. Yeah, so that special.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: This was no. This was Ned yost Oh, that was Ned,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: and you know Ned was net. When Ned came in,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I always thought it was stupid. There was a striction
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: that guys they had to travel and get away ams.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: If they're flying somewhere, they wear suits were And I
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: was like, that's really dumb because you're getting you go
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: from a bus to the tarmac and a charter and
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: maybe the flight attendancy, and you're flying to the next
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: city and you get into the hotel at three in
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the morning and there's like maybe a couple of autograph
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: seekers and the hotel people and janitors. But who are
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: you impressing with these suits? Like hockey players do it right?
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: You know, well, they travel, they dress up for games
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and stuff, but when they travel, like the admirals by bus,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: they put on the track suits. Yeah, they put on
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the tracksuit. College athletes always in tracksuits. But anyway, this
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: so it was like, oh, the curse of the sweep suits.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Curse of the sweep suits.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Often thought about that too with the with the incredible outfits.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I'll use that adjective instead that.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: We see like in walk in So like in the NBA, NBA,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I do give credit to the to the players because
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: literally you're putting that goofy thing on right after anyway,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: and NFL you're seeing these guys walk in with some
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: kind of elaborate look wild fit, and then they walk
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: out to the post game in the sweatsuit. It's like, no,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: you put that, You put that clown suit right back
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: them on if you're gonna go out of here after that.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan of the team theme. Now, there's always
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: the thing where you make the rookie stress up for sure,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: which is you know a lot of times they made
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: them dressing drag and that's it's it's story time Friday.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: But yeah, there was one time they did that to
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the rookies. Mark Loretta's rookie year. Loretta of course, like
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: now he's an executive, he's a smart guy. They did
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: it in New York. They're flying to New York and
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: they made. They had the bus drop the rookies off,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and some of them were in drag and some of
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: them were in ridiculous clown suits. And I think Ronnie
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Belliard might have been like the Hamburglar or something like
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: so he was in like a maror mccheese or a Hamburglar.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: But so they had these and they what they did
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: was they dropped the rookies off like two blocks from
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the Grand Hiat where they used to stay, right in
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Grand Central Station. So they dropped the rookies off, and
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: then the bus came in and the veterans were all
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: in the lobby and they wanted to jeer them and
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: like kind of make a gauntlet for them to have
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: to walk through. Well, Loretta being the link ring leader
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: in the Northwestern grad who when he signed with the Brewers.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: The Brewers were competing against Kmart, which wanted to give
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: him a big bonus to join their executive program. So
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: they had to up their offer by twenty five grand
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to get anyway. But they were competing against the corporate
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: giant of the time, Kmart. But Loretta found a way,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and I don't know he might have tipped somebody or something,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: but he got him in a side door and they
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: averted the main lobby and they got in and the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: veterans were sitting there and they never showed up. So
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: it was like the ultimate fu. Oh that's perfect. But yeah,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: so you always it was always dicey. It's like, well
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: we got they would go to Goodwill and there's always
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: veteran guys that would go and get the suits, and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: they would kind of sometimes they put thought into it.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Brewis used to have this guy, Alan Leverrell, this kind
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of beefy reliever and he had to be a Hooters
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: girl the orange shorts and the halter and it was
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: not a good life for that dude. It was who
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: so he So they did that and they put thought
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: into but you had to do it if you were
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: you had to thread the needle. You wanted to do
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: it after a win, Yeah, you don't want to be
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: doing get We just lost, Yeah, we just lost, and
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: we gave up a walk off Grand Slam in the ninth. Oh,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: let's put on these funny suits and like the be
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: a lot better guys. Yeah. Yeah, So the sweep suit
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: thing they were rolling, It's like, let's go, and it
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: was the curse of the sweep suits. So I'm glad
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: they did this. I like it when it's the whole team.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: They've done the football jerseys before, they did the Uker
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: dress up, the Uker theme, loud sport coats and stuff.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I'm a fan of that. Well, you gotta be doing
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: some other you gotta be doing some stuff. Is to
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: stay connected and behaving out and break up there with
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: each other so long and you're right drew the break
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: up the monotony. If you're like, well, what do you
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: mean it's three weeks in, Well, it's over two months
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: that they've already been long.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, longer guys were working out at the complex. So
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan of those reci of days. The rookie
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: hazing thing, it's a little bit like fraternity hazing that
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: some some franchises are like, now, I don't do that,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: don't ostracize it. We want them to be, uh, you know,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: we want them to be in a good mental place, like,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: don't beat them down, yeah, make them carry your paths,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: don't do anything. Yeah yeah they don't. Yeah. Yeah. They
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: send them on a coffee run in Chicago. Yeah, that's
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: what they do, full that or uniform do get coffee
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: that's tradition, and make sure you give me a cake pop. Yeah. Yeah.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: If you forget that, you're going back. Remember when Jeff
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Jenkins was a rookie, he had to provide a box
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: of donuts in a fresh USA today at the locker
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: of like Greg Vand's locker every day, every day, every day.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I had to do it. Otherwise, what are you doing?
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Where's my donuts? Dude?
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: That was like, that was like in that Showtime Lakers
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: documentary where it was I think Magic had to bring Kareem.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, paper man, I ain't doing that. I ain't
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: doing that, but sorry, I like that. But it did
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: make me think of the sweep suits, so that that
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: a memorable moment in Brewer's history. Like they probably would
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: have gone off the rails anyway, but a lot of
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: people blame the damn dress up day because they were
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: thirty eight and thirty four and then they went and
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: got swept four games. It was a horrible series in Pittsburg.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: And then like the Wheels came off, Well.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: If the if the Brewers go off and beat the
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: team that we anticipated they would be in and planed
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: on them being playoff team and potentially a division title
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: winning team. Will the Murph calling out the fans for
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: booing Trevor McGill. Will that be the turning point, the
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: turning point of the season. There will be a lot
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: of those. But yeah, we'll forget about that. My money's
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: on us forgetting about that. I was gonna say, I
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: think there's gonna be ten or twelve new ones and
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: might spit up a few more. Probably that's the way
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: baseball works.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: We'll see I don't know that he's out of the
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: woods yet, but he's out of.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: The woods, I do think, And I don't know for
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: touchdown a little yesterday after seeing him and seeing the situation,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Hunter called it perfectly. He's like, just because uh Rebay
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: was in there, well you do it again. He had
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: pitched a couple of days in a row, and yeah,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: about throwing them right back in there. If I got
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: the ninth and uh, I do believe for the majority
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: of the time, you'll probably be seeing uh after a rebate,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I think closing spot.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I think so too. That's probably gonna happen. So there's
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: no Brewers game to watch last night, but there was
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Brewers activity in town. It was the debut of the
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Yukre documentary in full, Like I didn't stick around on
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: opening day to watch the preview and I didn't get
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: an invite, and uh I felt bad about it. At
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: the Oriole is a great historic theater, opening night of
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Film Festival, they had like a red carpet.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: The sausages were downtown on Farwell in North there and
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: it was like a big deal. And I had a
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: friend who was at it, and he texted me on
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: his way in. He's like, I'm going in to see
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the uk Oh, I'm jealous. Like I didn't get a ticket.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I could have tried some strings or something,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: but I didn't think of it and didn't didn't happen.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I will wait, like the Schnook, I will wait until
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: the theatrical release in the Marcus theaters this summer, just
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: like the Just a Bit Outside Dock, which I saw
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: three times. So we're gonna have some I'll probably see
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the thing. And then he texted me a dan He goes, oh,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: you make a little cameo. You're there's a shot at
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: you in the press box. There we go movie cigars,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: all right, Well that makes me not want to go
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: see them anything. I mean, I have this like creepy
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: thing where I can't watch myself do anything I've never watched,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: like a TV show I've been on or anything.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: The little bits that Drew and I appear on that
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Packers pregame show when we're driving up.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we quickly quickly click, yeah, exactly click. I don't
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: do it, but you know, I want to see this movie.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: The producer seem like good dudes, and how can you
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: have a bad doc about Uker? But I feel bad
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: that I missed the opener and my my eye and
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the sky. My reporter, my spy said, yeah, it's really
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: a fun movie. I heard He's really good.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: From from all the small little bits of reviews that
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: we saw last night was it was phenomenal. And I
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: mean twelve hundred people theater back to back nights for
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: two sold out shows, or more than twelve hundred people
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: are going to see it over the next two days.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's more.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Than twelve hundred people that need to see the story
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: told of Bob Buker. So I'm excited for when this
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: gets a little bit of a Marcus run how long
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: it goes and much like just a bit outside kind
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: of like the A Road at Night with the Howard
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Moore documentary that that was incredibly, incredibly moving. People will
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: go out and see it when they've been told about it,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: and there is a little bit of a sense of urgency,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: right they say, Hey, this is gonna be out for
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: a short time.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: People are gonna be flooding theaters to be able to
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: see that. Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. It's good. It's
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: gonna be cool. And maybe the Burghs will do something
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: where they show it after a game in full or something,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: or they do something like that. We'll see.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that might be a that might be a good
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: idea esp end of the year if you, uh, you know,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: hold off a certain amount of the traffic there during
• 31:22

• 32:21
  Speaker 1: for Armen Today. Armand scheduled to appear on Monday on
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the program yesterday to do this the Elbaldo's Podcast with
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Butchy Ah.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Wow, is that during na he's in childcare?
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Probably yeah, probably nai wildcare mode. Yeah. It probably
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: worked it around nap time. But we're not. We bust
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: armas balls, but it's all good. The old thing is,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: we wouldn't do it if he wasn't so much fun exactly.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: But it's so fun when someone is not part of
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the panel and you're used to them, and it's like
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: we're used to having an arm in here. I'm going
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: on vacation in early May. Feel free to rip me
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: every day for three hours. Yep. Yeah, I'll be on
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: a beach. I'll be drinking beers and like the umbrella drinks. Well,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: it's a tale as old as time.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: And it's also like one of the best parts of
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: somebody else going on vacation is disdaining that person for
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: a good three or four days and being jealous as hell,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: having a bunch of fomo, like we were talking about
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: last night. I didn't I don't really hate the people
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: that were in the U at the Oriente last night
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: being able to see the ucred doc. But I had
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of fomo and kind of hated myself
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: for happying one of them. So that's where that's where
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: the vacation one comes into.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my family's all hanging out in Florida right now,
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: just enjoying the beach in the sunshine and me while I'm.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Here, and you're waking up at the crack of dawn. Yeah,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: right before the crack of dawn. That is fair. Yeah,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: far before the crack of dawn. Let's be honest, all right.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: So in this era of shortened attention spans and TikTok
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: and the news cycle, and I always say, life comes
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: at you now out of a fire hose. It used
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: to come as a trickle, used to be that kind
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: of like that trickle hose that you put on when
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: you freshly plant something. You know, like a steady hose
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: you could drink out of. Life is fire hose right now,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: And when the draft fires up next week, there may
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: be one last gasp of this Rossini story when Rabel
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: has to talk. And like the Diana Rossini and Mike
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Rabel has been a story and it's had a life
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: kind of and it's still getting churned. Michelle Beadle Wing
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: in yesterday saying that she knows stuff about other female reporters,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: and it's it's sorted, it's tawdry. Why is this a story?
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: People that a bitch about it? Like, are you new here? Yeah?
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? It's got on Patriots, it's
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: got a coach that was just in the Super Bowl.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: It's got a million dollar inside or the highest paid
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: employee of the New York Times it's got, it's got everything.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: It's acting a head coach having a potential affair with
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: somebody that covers the NFL, one of like the top
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: five newsbreakers in the NFL. That's a big story because otherwise,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: if you could tell me when it's happened again, if
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: you could point to me when it has happened before,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: then I would admit that you know it's enoughing seen before.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: A friend of mine, a former coworker, called him the
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister. A good friend of mine. Uh. He posted
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: something yesterday and I craft to reply, and it's funny.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I think I put my phone down and then I
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: didn't hit I didn't put it in the ether till
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: this morning, right before the show. But his take was
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this. I keep coming back to
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: one question, what does this story accomplish. It doesn't affect
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: the league or the game. There's no crime. Does it
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: show poor judgment? Sure, people in every walk of life
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: show poor judgment every day. They both have every building
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: to do with their families. But it doesn't affect anyone
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: else at all. I saw that an anonymous Patriot player
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: believes rabel owes the team an explanation Okay, then every
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: player that's unfaithful, well, it still has to do the same, right, Well,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: then they're gonna have to do the same. Sure, they
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: won't have any time to game plan. They'll all be
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: owning up to Tryst's every day and at halftime. This
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: will be hard to hear for some of you, but
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, they are still thinks that aren't
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: any of our business. This isn't any of our business.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Stories like this are why the public hates the media.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Just a hit piece written to take down public figures,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: useless and hollow. I'm hearing that a lot. Why is
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: this story?
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Move on?
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: That's not a story? Well, I reply, and I might
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: as well just share it here because past yeah, please do.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: My reply was, if a city hall reporter is having
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: an affair and sleeping with the mayor, would you trust
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: that reporter is providing honest coverage of the day's news
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: and events, or would you assume that every story was
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: slanted favorably toward the mayor? Would you trust that the
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: reporter's employer if they knew about this relationship, and we're
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: you know, benefiting from these scoops and these reportings that
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: they're objective in any other venue an arena, and that
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: their coverage is on the up and out or with
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: any of their any of their subsidiaries. In story time,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I once wrote a column about a player who he
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: was coming up, and it's like, he deserves his contract extension.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: They should commit to this guy. He deserves that. He's
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: earned it and and that's a great price trying story.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: The player loved the piece, kind of like if I
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: wrote a piece by Yeah. The player loved the piece
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: so much that he said, oh man, that was great.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: You know, his agent liked it, so that was awesome.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: He was like looking at a catalog that he gets
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: that players who are under Nike contracts used to get catalogs.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: It was like they get thousand dollars for the free
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: merch every year or whatever, and so I used to
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: take care of the club. He's get them all shoes
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: and stuff. He's like, hey man, there's a set of
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Nike golf clubs. You want the I'm gonna get you
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: these golf clubs. I'm like, that's fine, dude, you don't
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: have to talk. He was like, I'm gonna get you
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: these and he's like, what kind do you want? I'm like, nah,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: it's okay. So how about you and your wife? You
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: want to go on a cruise when the season's over.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I said, that's not how this works, dude, Like that,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna write something tomorrow that you're gonna hate. You're
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: gonna want me killed. Yep, that's that's you know, that's
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: that's I didn't. You know, you can't. I'm not taking
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not in this for that right. And it's like,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: that's not how this works. And then he said, well,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: then what can I do for you? I'm like, I
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: tell you what you can do for me. As long
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: as you're here, I come to your locker, you'd be there,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: talk to me, answer my questions, take my calls, and
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: be honest. Yeah, just beyond that to you, that's the
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: end of me, the answers. But the thing is, I'm
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: a man, and I worked alongside women have come even
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not like I was in the locker
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: room in the seventies when women weren't allowed. But there's
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: now women at every game, every press conference, there's women
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: in every social media, every aspect of media, every level,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: basically even play by play. Lisa Byington, you know, every level.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: There are women at every level, and they become so
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: common that the stigma when even when I was in
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: my beat days, guys would see female reporters and there's
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: always mouth breathing fans and you could hear it, like
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: from fans when we're walking all the rest box and
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: getting off the bus at the World Series or something.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: They'd be like, oh, she's sleeping with players to get scoops,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: you know, and that was like they had I didn't
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: have that hurdle, no, but they did amazingly. Nobody ever
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: suggested that's what you were doing with noa no, but
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: you know, people would say, you know, Dreud, you don't
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: know ball, or you're an idiot, you know, different, dealt
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: with that different, but no one said that I was trading,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: you know, sexual favors for scoops. Now the thing is
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: that now a lot of people are back to that
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: and they're saying that about female reporters and she's kind
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: of pick that scab and it's back and it's it's
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: unfair that you know, everybody's painted and now some women
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: are caping. I'm saying, well, does everybody all these insiders
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: When Schefter got caught sending that letter for approval to
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: a GM and a new story before it was but
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: which is a complete cardinal thin and spire ball offense
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: in my opinion. But uh, you know, did that impugne everybody? Well,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: it's kind of it's different because women are there's a
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: predisposed where people thought that, and it's like then they've
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: brought that back into the fore. And my thing was
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: and consenting adults and marriages, and that's all that matters
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: is that marriage, and that's you live by your own
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: moral code. And I've always said, you know, you plant
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: your freak flag, do what you want, do what you
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: want to, You do what you want on your own time.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: If you are an insider of a sport and you
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: want to get romantically involved with someone in a high
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: level in sport that can give you information and can
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: be in that part of that wheelhouse, you can't cover
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: that league anymore. If Diana Rossini said I want to
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: have this relationship with Mike Able, be it on a
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: side piece or anything, Yeah, go to your bosses and
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: say I want to cover the NBA, I want to
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: switch to MLB, And you can do that, but not
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying it's a little bit like
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: if you're a fan of a team, you can't cover
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: that team like a fan like you can't you can't
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: cover the league and root and openly slant your coverage
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: to that team. It's like, that's not how it works.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: It's just it's a different beast.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: And for this this one in particular, like when you
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: are going to potentially have say, is a tough way
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: of putting it, but some influence on the way people believe,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: whether it's the availability, the excitability of a player going
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: and playing for a certain guy, like the Max Crosby one,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: they came out everything that she's done is called in
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: question at that point, and everything that they publish is
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: called in the question everything, and and it was one.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Of those your credibility is everything, and once.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: You lose that, especially when in a business where your
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: credibility is you tell the truth.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: And the worst thing in here was the cover up,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: exactly by far that the worst thing is the cover up.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: All right, We're off and running. It's the huddle on
• 41:03
