1:43
Speaker 6: sorry and bring it to you from headquarters on this
1:46
Speaker 6: Lil Chili Friday. In the good Line. Expecting some flurries
1:49
Speaker 6: this morning, just in time. When we slide down the
1:52
Speaker 6: back of the Dinosaur, you get into traffic in the snow.
1:56
Speaker 1: Beautiful.
1:56
Speaker 3: But the good thing is a lot while you're going,
1:59
Speaker 3: you're going the wrong way. You're going in with all
2:01
Speaker 3: the workers that everyone's gonna be looking around. But the
2:04
Speaker 3: good thing is that reminds me of like when I
2:06
Speaker 3: was coming back and trying to drive into my parents'
2:09
Speaker 3: house when I was working nights and I was living
2:11
Speaker 3: in the basement, but I was still, you know, going
2:14
Speaker 3: out till three or four in the morning, and then
2:15
Speaker 3: I crashed on somebody's couch and then you're just driving
2:18
Speaker 3: home and you're like, all right, I'm just dn all
2:20
Speaker 3: these people are going to work a mind about two
2:23
Speaker 3: hours of sleep and I'm gonna stop a quick trip
2:25
Speaker 3: and have an intermitute breakfast and they go right back
2:27
Speaker 3: to sleep. What a life we live, What a time
2:30
Speaker 3: it is, and what a week weatherwise that I do
2:33
Speaker 3: think even though we're getting sent out with snow, I
2:35
Speaker 3: think we might be getting out of the worst.
2:37
Speaker 1: Of this whole.
2:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the thing. That's the thing. The worst of
2:39
Speaker 5: the cold is gonna be behind us saw soon.
2:41
Speaker 1: Huh.
2:43
Speaker 5: Well. And the big, the big debate I've been going
2:45
Speaker 5: through personally is wanting to get my car washed, because
2:48
Speaker 5: like you know, everyone gets their car wash when it
2:49
Speaker 5: finally hits thirty two.
2:51
Speaker 1: But it's like, I really need to do that.
2:52
Speaker 5: Maybe I should just get a washed now when nobody
2:54
Speaker 5: else is and kind of just deal with consequences. What's worse,
2:58
Speaker 5: I mean, getting your car frozen or having the salt
3:00
Speaker 5: stay on your car all day?
3:01
Speaker 1: I don't know.
3:02
Speaker 6: I was at the auto parts store the other day
3:04
Speaker 6: and they had this stuff and it was a spray bottle.
3:07
Speaker 6: I had to go pick something up but something caught
3:10
Speaker 6: my eye a spray bottle of stuff, and it's like
3:12
Speaker 6: it's like car washing a bottle. And so since I
3:15
Speaker 6: have like underground parking and stuff, if I don't get
3:18
Speaker 6: the car, it's it's you know, every time, every time
3:20
Speaker 6: you get in and out of the car, you get
3:21
Speaker 6: the salt.
3:22
Speaker 1: On your coats, my pants every time. This is ye.
3:25
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's the spray stuff and it's basically you
3:28
Speaker 6: don't need any water. It's like it's like the waterless
3:30
Speaker 6: dog shampoo. I was gonna say, it's stry shampoo for
3:33
Speaker 6: your shampoo for your car. Raid it on, wiped it off,
3:36
Speaker 6: and like, hey, that worked actually pretty good.
3:38
Speaker 5: It just strikes me as some billy may seen on
3:40
Speaker 5: TV stuff. I mean it actually worked o And I'm like, okay,
3:45
Speaker 5: I and it.
3:46
Speaker 6: You know, it was like the bottle lasted for basically
3:49
Speaker 6: two scrubbings, but it got me through. It made it
3:52
Speaker 6: look a little bit more palatable. I'm sure I need
3:54
Speaker 6: to get some washed to get the salt off the
3:56
Speaker 6: undercarriage and stuff, but hey, it was awesome.
3:59
Speaker 3: Yeah I'm the bad I'm the test subject on that.
4:01
Speaker 3: I'll maybe get my car washed once a week. I'd like,
4:05
Speaker 3: I don't even think about it, and then all of
4:06
Speaker 3: a sudden it's like, oh, oh, there's nobody in that line.
4:09
Speaker 3: Maybe I'll do it, And then all of a sudden
4:10
Speaker 3: I actually do it. I'm like, damn, twelve dollars for that.
4:13
Speaker 3: I totally could have done that at home. I'm gonna
4:15
Speaker 3: do that at home coming the spring. I think about
4:19
Speaker 3: it in fall and I'm like, damn, I was gonna
4:21
Speaker 3: wash my car all summer and I didn't do it
4:22
Speaker 3: at all. So I'll usually go like one annual wash
4:25
Speaker 3: a year and then hopefully that works out for the boy.
4:27
Speaker 1: So yeah, ten days.
4:28
Speaker 6: From the Super Bowl, Yannis on the block packers with
4:33
Speaker 6: shifting things around you idiots are talking about the weather.

Speaker 6: so we get that to look forward to now a
5:00
Speaker 6: couple of points of order before we.
5:02
Speaker 1: Do dive into the meaty topics of the day.
5:04
Speaker 6: Today's it's the end of our first full week of
5:08
Speaker 6: the Huddle, and if my University of Wisconsin Education, like
5:12
Speaker 6: my University of wsconsin Milwaukee Education, is correct, this would
5:16
Speaker 6: be our ninth show.
5:19
Speaker 1: Correct, number nine trio and new.
5:22
Speaker 6: Ground broken today because I told you guys, one of
5:24
Speaker 6: the things about making the shift as I did from
5:27
Speaker 6: afternoons to mornings is that it's it's that my flight's
5:32
Speaker 6: at five am sleep, and every every fifteen minutes from
5:37
Speaker 6: two am on you're looking at the clock and you're wondering,
5:40
Speaker 6: you know. And I didn't learn to trust the alarm, right,
5:43
Speaker 6: It's like, oh, I gotta trust.
5:44
Speaker 1: The alarm on my phone.
5:46
Speaker 6: Ye this morning, like I got up a couple of
5:49
Speaker 6: times and I'm like, huh no, the alarm is set.
5:51
Speaker 6: I don't need to look at the clock. And then
5:53
Speaker 6: I woke up and looked at the clock. The alarm
5:55
Speaker 6: had not been set. I forgot to set the alarm.
5:58
Speaker 1: And it was about five minutes for the time that
6:00
Speaker 1: I usually have to leave stately os in manner, and
6:02
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, a little scramble this morning, and it's
6:05
Speaker 1: like that the palpitation start. That jump starts your heart. Yeah,
6:08
Speaker 1: it does. Right out of the rack. The heart rate
6:10
Speaker 1: goes up about twenty five beats per minute, and it's like, okay,
6:13
Speaker 1: game on. So this is the first time I did that.
6:15
Speaker 1: But I'm so ingrained now already that I feel like, Okay,
6:19
Speaker 1: I woke up naturally at just about the right time.
6:22
Speaker 6: Uh huh, You're screwed. But I gotta totally your body's
6:27
Speaker 6: in now. My body's in morning mode. So it took
6:30
Speaker 6: nine shows, and it doesn't took it two weeks. However,
6:32
Speaker 6: much of this the coffee.
6:34
Speaker 3: What you gotta Celsias, maybe a diet mountain do whatever
6:37
Speaker 3: your caffeine pill of choice will be. Nothing will wake
6:40
Speaker 3: you up quite like the experience that you just explained.
6:43
Speaker 5: That rush of dopamine adrenaline to know, oh my goodness,
6:46
Speaker 5: hearing my flight's about to leave.
6:47
Speaker 1: AKA, we're about to be on.
6:49
Speaker 5: And absolutely that is the case now because you go
6:52
Speaker 5: through the at least for me, I go through the
6:53
Speaker 5: turmoil of do I set the daily alarm ahead of time?
6:57
Speaker 1: Because I do that. Laura doesn't like it because he's
6:59
Speaker 1: like you're.
6:59
Speaker 5: Gonna forget the weekends, and you will forget on the
7:01
Speaker 5: weekends the turn, she's gonna be mad.
7:04
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, Well that androids you can't set the
7:09
Speaker 1: day that it rings. Well, you can do it, I
7:10
Speaker 1: just I don't figure out how to do it anything correctly.
7:13
Speaker 1: And then you know, and.
7:15
Speaker 5: So then I'm like, you know, I'm gonna set this
7:16
Speaker 5: thing every day, but then you get the little morning
7:18
Speaker 5: show paranoia inside you. But like you know, one if somehow,
7:21
Speaker 5: for some reason, this first alarm doesn't work, So then
7:24
Speaker 5: I just set like fourteen of them in.
7:25
Speaker 1: A row, I said, going off, I said to the
7:30
Speaker 1: time that I need to get up, and one for
7:31
Speaker 1: the time that I absolutely have to in the bathroom.
7:34
Speaker 1: So yeah, and then the thing is like you wake
7:38
Speaker 1: up for the first one, and if you don't turn
7:40
Speaker 1: off the second one, I'm being mid shower hammering away.
7:45
Speaker 3: That's not buzzing off of the table, and that falls
7:48
Speaker 3: and wakes everybody up.
7:50
Speaker 6: Anybody who's listening to us is already up, either for
7:53
Speaker 6: work or you have a purpose, or you're just wired
7:56
Speaker 6: that way, or maybe you're one of the sociopaths waiting
7:58
Speaker 6: to get into the y.
7:59
Speaker 1: When they open it five.
8:00
Speaker 3: Well, and that those folks will be more panicked and
8:03
Speaker 3: upset if they missed that right, If they missed the
8:05
Speaker 3: five am as to when they were supposed to start
8:07
Speaker 3: spinning class, that's gonna be a nauseating experience. I appreciate though,
8:12
Speaker 3: that I got too extremely mature and veteran guys like that,
8:16
Speaker 3: because I appreciate that you panicked about it.
8:19
Speaker 1: I was so nonchalant about it.
8:21
Speaker 3: I accidentally set my alarm poorly drew A couple of
8:23
Speaker 3: weeks ago one of our final shows that Arman and
8:25
Speaker 3: I were doing, and my wife just backhands me, Hey go,
8:29
Speaker 3: you gotta get out. I think you're supposed to be
8:31
Speaker 3: at work by now, and I just got I just
8:33
Speaker 3: sat up and grabbed the keys and walked right out.
8:35
Speaker 1: It was maybe one of the worst decisions of all time.
8:38
Speaker 1: But that quick.
8:39
Speaker 3: Dopamine again, we'll get you going. Don't l like caffeine.
8:42
Speaker 3: It fired us up right away at six am.
8:44
Speaker 5: It's the also the fifteen seconds or twenty seconds when
8:47
Speaker 5: I when it does go on a sudden change of
8:49
Speaker 5: not understanding what's going on, like the law I don't
8:52
Speaker 5: have consciousness yet, of like oh I'm actually supposed to
8:54
Speaker 5: be up right.
8:55
Speaker 1: Now, this is reality. I'm going to work today.
8:57
Speaker 5: Like whatever weird dream I was having, you know, which
8:59
Speaker 5: I have many of as you know, Billy, whatever weird
9:02
Speaker 5: dream I was having is basically not reality. And the
9:05
Speaker 5: reality is you're supposed to be upright. Always takes like
9:07
Speaker 5: fifteen seconds to get back into that stream of consciousness
9:10
Speaker 5: where I do.
9:11
Speaker 1: Want offensive possession. Yeah it is by it's too late.
9:15
Speaker 5: Luckily my shot clock is in twenty four and I
9:18
Speaker 5: have to do it over and over again, you know,
9:20
Speaker 5: with without no play called and you know, no semblance
9:23
Speaker 5: of organized to keep well, never mind, that's a that's
9:26
Speaker 5: a totally different.
9:27
Speaker 1: Ran for sure.
9:27
Speaker 3: This just gets more painful and painful by the day
9:29
Speaker 3: watching this team and living and dying with Yeah, that was.
9:33
Speaker 1: Tough last night, only our third loss to the Wizards
9:35
Speaker 1: this year. Don't worry.
9:36
Speaker 6: That is that strike That that is striking when you
9:40
Speaker 6: lose to the Wizards three times and look hapless and
9:42
Speaker 6: like Myles Turner. There's a reason Indianna let Myles Turner
9:46
Speaker 6: walk right, I mean, nice player and all, but is
9:48
Speaker 6: he he's not the dude?
9:50
Speaker 3: No, well and clearly not the dude when he does
9:54
Speaker 3: when he has to be the number one guy, right,
9:56
Speaker 3: Like I mean, he he likes to try to take
9:58
Speaker 3: the mantle over, but it has not been.
10:00
Speaker 1: A successful venture.
10:01
Speaker 3: And especially when you know a guy that Earlier on
10:04
Speaker 3: in the year, when Giannis was out for a couple
10:07
Speaker 3: of games, Ryan Rollins put a little bit of a
10:08
Speaker 3: cape on and had people thinking he was a potential
10:12
Speaker 3: All Star. Yeah he's you know, he's Ryan Rowland is
10:14
Speaker 3: a really good player. He's a nice player in the NBA.
10:16
Speaker 3: But when you're counting on them to be your your
10:19
Speaker 3: bucket fillers night in and night out, you're gonna be
10:21
Speaker 3: in a tough spot. And Bobby Porter starts out with
10:23
Speaker 3: what thirteen points in the first half, then the water
10:26
Speaker 3: just completely shuts off in the second. Couldn't stop a
10:29
Speaker 3: sieve defensively drew. There's a couple of things that are
10:32
Speaker 3: gonna be even more nauseating. But when a guy named
10:34
Speaker 3: Bub he s gitimately calls himself bub drops thirteen on you,
10:39
Speaker 3: and it seems like could.
10:40
Speaker 1: Have had a much better name.
10:42
Speaker 3: Those are the times when just vibes wise, Oh yeah,
10:44
Speaker 3: you'll really get down in the dumps.
10:46
Speaker 1: Yes, he is that little of respect for himself army.
10:49
Speaker 1: He's legit asking.
10:50
Speaker 3: People to call him Bob absolutely and dropping thirteen on
10:53
Speaker 3: you off the bench. And that wasn't even the worst part.
10:55
Speaker 3: When George comes in with twenty three and you sit
10:59
Speaker 3: here at the Potawatam Sports Book like, well, this guy's.
11:01
Speaker 1: Totally going to get six boards.
11:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally going to get six boards with that twenty
11:06
Speaker 3: three and five stat line.
11:07
Speaker 1: Oh no, I thought, at least you're gonna save some
11:09
Speaker 1: solace last night. Oh no, you're still waiting for those boards, man.
11:12
Speaker 3: But my goodness, I mean, just the water shuts off
11:16
Speaker 3: for this team. That's the month that started with them
11:19
Speaker 3: winning the three of four, the victory in La and
11:23
Speaker 3: now Drew they've lost to in the last week, the
11:30
Speaker 3: likes of the Wizards, Sixers had a game postponed, and
11:33
Speaker 3: that was the best thing to happen.
11:34
Speaker 5: Happened was that American Airlines go get the plane off
11:37
Speaker 5: the ground in Dallas, especially if Cooper had played did
11:39
Speaker 5: last night. That is the best thing that happened to him,
11:41
Speaker 5: no doubt.
11:42
Speaker 3: This month of January is quickly drew, becoming reminiscent of
11:45
Speaker 3: a Packers game where the Bucks really we had him
11:49
Speaker 3: in the first half of the month. Yep, that that
11:52
Speaker 3: January eighth moment when we had that that article from
11:55
Speaker 3: sam Amic, that was the twenty three to twenty one
11:58
Speaker 3: to three lead we may have had. And now quickly
12:00
Speaker 3: we just watched them score uh DJ more touchdown And
12:03
Speaker 3: this is becoming very painful.
12:05
Speaker 6: The churn, I'm the honest, And we're a week away
12:09
Speaker 6: right from the trade does less. Then we're inside of
12:12
Speaker 6: a week and the churn it's it's you can't avoid
12:17
Speaker 6: it now, like they had a little uh to do
12:20
Speaker 6: for Peter Fagan outgoing president of the Bucks, and like
12:23
Speaker 6: it's that's that's the cloud over the franchise, over the city. Uh,
12:27
Speaker 6: the uncertainty and the churn of it. I've been it's unavoidable.
12:32
Speaker 6: So every podcast, everything in your social is somebody on
12:36
Speaker 6: a podcast chirping about this. And what cracks me up
12:41
Speaker 6: is the national media, the Ringer guys and the zach
12:44
Speaker 6: Low's and the Chams's and and Windhorse to a point
12:48
Speaker 6: where they're they're approaching the story like like a lot
12:51
Speaker 6: of us, they're sick of it already. They're they're the
12:54
Speaker 6: fatigue and they're they're complaining about the fatigue from the
12:58
Speaker 6: stuff they've been feeding us for like five years. They're
13:01
Speaker 6: tired of the story that they've been the shoveling coal
13:04
Speaker 6: into this first for the fire, yes, and then they're
13:07
Speaker 6: sick of the fire. I used to say that about
13:09
Speaker 6: Brett Fire all the time because he had this uncanny
13:11
Speaker 6: knack to kick up a bleepstorm. Sure, he's the guy
13:14
Speaker 6: who kicks over the lantern in the barn and its
13:17
Speaker 6: torches it up, and he's like, what are those fire
13:18
Speaker 6: trucks doing here?
13:19
Speaker 5: On?
13:19
Speaker 1: Guys, what happened? Yeah, Jack Waffle, you did this?
13:22
Speaker 3: Why did you guys all fly down here to Mississippi
13:24
Speaker 3: for my golf outing?
13:25
Speaker 1: Yeah.
13:25
Speaker 6: It's coming to the point where I just it's like this,
13:30
Speaker 6: I guess, and I've never been through this. I think
13:32
Speaker 6: some of our smart, good looking listeners could weigh and
13:34
Speaker 6: maybe maybe some attorneys in a certain specialized field or
13:37
Speaker 6: some people who have gone through rocky relationships can tell me.
13:39
Speaker 6: It's like a divorce where you know, we're staying together
13:43
Speaker 6: for the kids, and somebody's got to step up and say.
13:46
Speaker 1: I want out. That's it.
13:48
Speaker 6: Otherwise you're just gonna sit here. The bucks are Hey,
13:50
Speaker 6: we can just sit He hasn't asked for a trade.
13:52
Speaker 6: People are calling us, we're listening, but he hasn't until
13:55
Speaker 6: he asks for a trade.
13:56
Speaker 1: I don't why would we trade him?
13:57
Speaker 6: Why would we trade a generational player, the face of
14:00
Speaker 6: our franchise, the you know, the biggest star in our city.
14:04
Speaker 6: There was a debate online yesterday about whether Yannis is
14:06
Speaker 6: the most lovable athlete in Wisconsin sports history. I did
14:08
Speaker 6: see that one. Yeah, Dan Shaffer fired that up. Yeah,
14:12
Speaker 6: he's going to mix and then he's in the mix
14:15
Speaker 6: for it for sure. I still think maybe a couple
14:19
Speaker 6: of quarterbacks were more lovable at a time. But then
14:22
Speaker 6: it's hard to separate what happened after they were here
14:25
Speaker 6: than remembering what it was like while they.
14:27
Speaker 1: Were applying for correct Some some do a good job
14:30
Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, separation.
14:32
Speaker 6: Plus, it's a it's a flawed argument because there's no metric.
14:36
Speaker 6: There's it's a subjective. It's like, oh, that's your favorite athlete. Well,
14:40
Speaker 6: and there can't be any debate. Oh yeah, there can everything.
14:44
Speaker 6: My daughter's favorite player was Bill Hall, and she has
14:46
Speaker 6: Bill Hall probably ahead of honest, So shut up.
14:48
Speaker 1: It's what everybody's their own. You know, everybody likes their
14:51
Speaker 1: own of.
14:51
Speaker 3: The thirty one flavors available, and it's easier to use
14:54
Speaker 3: the word subjective or objective, depending on however you want
14:57
Speaker 3: the narrative and the conversation to fit right. Objectively, nobody
15:02
Speaker 3: has meant more to the city. Well, you could also
15:04
Speaker 3: say one for three decades of futility and then bringing
15:07
Speaker 3: another generational Hall of Fame player first ballot guy because
15:11
Speaker 3: he was that good. That might have objectively meant more
15:13
Speaker 3: to the organization.
15:15
Speaker 6: Of course, like and then there are the olds who
15:17
Speaker 6: are gonna say, well, what about part what about Henry
15:19
Speaker 6: Aaron and Warren Spahn and what about you know, Robin Yea.
15:23
Speaker 6: So it's it's all your own filter, and it's a
15:26
Speaker 6: fun discussion, but there's never gonna be a definitive who's
15:30
Speaker 6: the most loved?
15:31
Speaker 5: And it's like, I guess, let's actually put on the
15:36
Speaker 5: ballot in this date of Wisconsin. But somebody would win.
15:39
Speaker 5: The My point is somebody would win, But it doesn't
15:40
Speaker 5: mean you get one hundred percent of anything.
15:42
Speaker 6: Nobody my least favorite and I know, uh armand still
15:47
Speaker 6: getting smoke from Bears fans of course, but whatever my
15:50
Speaker 6: least favorite reply to any question or poll that we
15:52
Speaker 6: ever throw out is like why is this even a question?
15:58
Speaker 1: That right up there is the conversation for me. Yeah,
16:02
Speaker 1: why why is there even why is this even a question?
16:04
Speaker 6: Because we live because like I feel this way and
16:06
Speaker 6: like you know, my opinion is right.
16:08
Speaker 3: Well it comes that comes down to Drew, how we
16:11
Speaker 3: argue and how we debate things. Now it's no longer
16:14
Speaker 3: why my point is right. It's why your point is wrong.
16:17
Speaker 3: Why you are an idiots. I've been saying that for years.
16:19
Speaker 6: It's like it used to be whether it well, no
16:21
Speaker 6: matter what it was, religion, politics, sports. Yeah, I have
16:24
Speaker 6: my opinions and my values, you have yours, and we.
16:27
Speaker 1: Will both exist.
16:28
Speaker 6: Now it's like your opinion is my opinion is right,
16:31
Speaker 6: yours is wrong, and yours should not exist, should never exist,
16:35
Speaker 6: You shouldn't even exist or be allowed to express it.
16:38
Speaker 1: And then it I have to stomp that down, like
16:40
Speaker 1: did we all?
16:41
Speaker 3: We all went too far into the uh sorry, I apologize,
16:44
Speaker 3: I'm not movie literate. The Ferris Bueler one. We are
16:46
Speaker 3: all dumber for I heard hearing what you just said.
16:49
Speaker 3: You get no points, no points as a yes, Billy
16:55
Speaker 3: Madison is where everybody immediately says no, No, that's that's horrible.
16:59
Speaker 1: You can't share that anymore.
17:01
Speaker 3: You don't deserve to be able to say ridiculousness like that.
17:04
Speaker 3: I also just it depends on how old you are,
17:07
Speaker 3: It depends on where you're at, It depends on the sport,
17:09
Speaker 3: and how much it impacts your life as to which
17:12
Speaker 3: one would be more important.
17:13
Speaker 1: I think the.
17:14
Speaker 3: Better part of the conversation that question, when you're talking
17:17
Speaker 3: about the loveability is has there been one that hasn't
17:20
Speaker 3: gone through the similar end game and the similar fin
17:25
Speaker 3: final end in Wisconsin where it's somewhat of an unceremonious exit,
17:31
Speaker 3: where sure Giannis's will feel I think a little bit
17:34
Speaker 3: more celebrated because people are happier for him, seemingly because
17:38
Speaker 3: they also don't want to or we don't put any
17:40
Speaker 3: of the things that have transpired over the last couple
17:43
Speaker 3: of years on him right, wrong, or indifferent. But he
17:46
Speaker 3: will be lauded, I think a lot more than those
17:48
Speaker 3: guys were right away.
17:50
Speaker 6: On the way out. But we should be conditioned to this.
17:52
Speaker 6: We had Curly Lambeau does left. The contra that's Lombardi left,
17:58
Speaker 6: right right, far left, Aaron Rodgers left, Kareem left we've had,
18:04
Speaker 6: we've we've gone down this report. We had an entire
18:06
Speaker 6: franchise ripped away from our city in the sixties.
18:09
Speaker 1: They left, so we should be scarred over. But you're never.
18:12
Speaker 1: You never are You're never. You never want this to end.
18:15
Speaker 6: That's why I did say, and at the risk of
18:19
Speaker 6: separating my shoulder, patting myself on the back for years
18:22
Speaker 6: when the time I've been behind a microphone and Giannis's
18:25
Speaker 6: entire career, I'm like, enjoy this kid, enjoy them while
18:27
Speaker 6: I was here, Go go to games, watch games, make yourself.
18:30
Speaker 1: Even when they were bad. He was so entertaining and gangly.
18:33
Speaker 6: And I was so entranced by his buddy, the elf
18:35
Speaker 6: persona when he first got here, and it's like, you
18:38
Speaker 6: gotta watch this kid.
18:38
Speaker 1: You gotta watch this kid.
18:39
Speaker 6: And they should build a statue, to be honest, and
18:41
Speaker 6: probably a smaller statue to John Hammond for bringing him
18:44
Speaker 6: in and for drafting a generational player, because you'll never
18:47
Speaker 6: have that story and that that whole vibe that he brought. Again,
18:52
Speaker 6: we watched this kid grow up.
18:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing. We watched and wet and it's
18:57
Speaker 1: a little bit that way.
18:58
Speaker 6: It was a little bit that way with far Aaron
19:00
Speaker 6: Rodgers was more plug and play in terms of development.
19:02
Speaker 6: But if Farv came here, the bumpkin, the third stringer
19:06
Speaker 6: went from the like almost out of the league in
19:09
Speaker 6: Atlanta to you know, one of the goats. So it's
19:14
Speaker 6: we get these stories, enjoy them. It's why we watch
19:16
Speaker 6: the sports. It's it's gonna be tough, and more and
19:20
Speaker 6: more people now, it seems, are at peace with.
19:22
Speaker 1: The idea of if he has to go, he has
19:24
Speaker 1: to go.
19:25
Speaker 6: Cleveland went through this with Lebron, and we didn't really
19:27
Speaker 6: pay a lot of attention that hole the decision thing.
19:29
Speaker 6: They got their guts ripped out then they then he
19:32
Speaker 6: came back and won a title.
19:33
Speaker 1: Fear from that.
19:34
Speaker 6: That story is Shakespearean in its own way too. And
19:36
Speaker 6: now he might finish there. You might go there next
19:39
Speaker 6: year and play one last year with Cleveland like a
19:41
Speaker 6: farewell rocking chair tour.
19:43
Speaker 1: I'm here for it, you know, It's like, why not.
19:45
Speaker 3: It's a great story lives out the best sports story
19:49
Speaker 3: life of all time.
19:50
Speaker 1: For Lebron James.
19:51
Speaker 3: I think I might have to craft that and start
19:53
Speaker 3: to adopt that phrasing for the best.
19:55
Speaker 5: Story life, the best sports story story life of all time.
19:59
Speaker 5: You get the bait on it, but that's what we're
20:00
Speaker 5: talking about, right, I mean everyone can have.
20:02
Speaker 3: More from somebody to grow up on Sports Illustrated and
20:06
Speaker 3: the ESPN literally crowbar out national high school coverage, to
20:12
Speaker 3: be able to show your games, play in your own hometown,
20:15
Speaker 3: come back there where you're villainized. It's it's a hell
20:17
Speaker 3: of a sports life when you are told to be
20:21
Speaker 3: the greatest and then become one of the greatest. Giannis
20:24
Speaker 3: was again, Drew just it's a simple plan to execute again.
20:29
Speaker 3: Just pick a random guy out of the crowd who's
20:32
Speaker 3: almost seven feet tall, ever make him the best player
20:35
Speaker 3: you've ever seen. That's pretty simple. Just do it again,
20:38
Speaker 3: Like I think, we just draft right in the middle
20:40
Speaker 3: of the first round every year and just look around.
20:45
Speaker 1: That guy and maybe maybe you get lucky again.
20:48
Speaker 3: Because that's how that's how crazy it felt like of
20:51
Speaker 3: a lottery ticket win when in twenty thirteen he came
20:54
Speaker 3: with that pick when all I wanted was Shane Larkin. Yeah, I.
20:59
Speaker 1: See in Miami. Come on, didn't you see it in Miami?
21:01
Speaker 1: Barry Larkins kid, that everything you want. He understands what
21:06
Speaker 1: it's like to be a pro.
21:07
Speaker 5: You know what, we will always uh fall in love
21:10
Speaker 5: to well, we'll never be callous to it, because the
21:12
Speaker 5: whole thing of being a sports fan is all about emotions.
21:15
Speaker 1: It's about love.
21:15
Speaker 5: It's about investing your own vulnerabilities into loving something that's
21:20
Speaker 5: bigger than yourself.
21:21
Speaker 1: So in a way, that's the way it should be.
21:23
Speaker 1: That's why it hurts.
21:24
Speaker 5: It hurts because it was so special, you know, I
21:25
Speaker 5: think a lot of people did appreciate the time here.
21:27
Speaker 5: That's why we know it's gonna be ending. And it
21:30
Speaker 5: hurts to know that that part is ending, and that
21:31
Speaker 5: part of our own lives is ending. So it's it's
21:34
Speaker 5: how you transition to the next phase and and it's
21:37
Speaker 5: and it kind of reflects our own lives. And it's
21:39
Speaker 5: very hard because I think we saw a taste last night,
21:42
Speaker 5: in the last couple of weeks of what life was
21:44
Speaker 5: like before, You're honest, and what life will be like
21:46
Speaker 5: after for a while. It's true, and that is, I'm sorry,
21:48
Speaker 5: just a lot less interesting.
21:50
Speaker 1: It's fun. It's bleak, no question about it. We're off
21:53
Speaker 1: and running, shooting shirts are coming off.
21:55
Speaker 6: We're working up a little lather for you on this
21:57
Speaker 6: Friday we're gonna break the tape strong because Matt Lape,
22:00

Speaker 6: We should be able to watch the show at any time,
22:37
Speaker 6: at any given point in time.
22:38
Speaker 3: Now. The problem is when you become so rapidly successful,
22:43
Speaker 3: people start getting nervous about the quick ascent to the top.
22:47
Speaker 1: So they're trying to do anything they can to stunt
22:49
Speaker 1: the growth.
22:49
Speaker 3: Here. Yeah, before we even get to double digits, Drew,
22:52
Speaker 3: they're trying to take down the platform because they've heard
22:54
Speaker 3: The Huddle is the hottest show in the world.
22:56
Speaker 1: That's crazy, how quickly the last show in our listening area.

Speaker 3: that it's running through.
24:47
Speaker 1: Well. Brother, we are here waking up with you.
24:49
Speaker 3: And thinking about a cruise on Lake, Michigan already.
24:54
Speaker 1: Would that be wonderful?
24:55
Speaker 5: I want to get out there in the water pretend
24:57
Speaker 5: like you're cool.
24:58
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite things about Data.
24:59
Speaker 5: I It makes me feel like I'm one of the
25:02
Speaker 5: most important people when I'm riding on that beautiful boat
25:04
Speaker 5: and there's music and I'm waving the people out in
25:06
Speaker 5: the sidewalk going down the Milwaukee River, and I'm like,
25:09
Speaker 5: I'm the.
25:09
Speaker 1: Man out here. You guys see me. I'm on a boat.
25:12
Speaker 3: Like one of the horn blows and you look and
25:16
Speaker 3: you just give the little captain's wave.
25:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, the captain's wave. I wear a little hat,
25:20
Speaker 5: you know, like a little bucket hat. Maybe like I'm Gilligan,
25:23
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.
25:23
Speaker 3: Would that be Drew if you went on the All
25:26
Speaker 3: Milwaukee Day. Would that be a part of the All
25:29
Speaker 3: Milwaukee Day. Gotta be up I gotta be up there,
25:31
Speaker 3: right like Miles Turner. Now, luckily he went through the
25:34
Speaker 3: full gamut of Wisconsin stuff, you know, and then they
25:36
Speaker 3: start playing basketball.
25:37
Speaker 1: So I'm glad that. I'm glad that he did all that.
25:39
Speaker 3: In the offseason, he had you know, cheese cards, went
25:42
Speaker 3: to a Packers game, went to a Brewers game, went
25:44
Speaker 3: to the Art Museum, Like you hit a bunch of
25:46
Speaker 3: different things at Whit's cruise at the end of the
25:48
Speaker 3: night might be the best one. I still remember my
25:50
Speaker 3: first first trip on the cruise, and that was when
25:53
Speaker 3: my buddy looked at us as we got on and
25:55
Speaker 3: friend Travis and I are sitting there.
25:56
Speaker 1: Saying, man, we got twenty six dollars the rest of
26:00
Speaker 1: the night. This is gonna be kind of tough. All right,
26:02
Speaker 1: We're gonna all right, right.
26:03
Speaker 3: He taps us on the shoulder, goes, all right, guys,
26:05
Speaker 3: secret with this is so all you can drink, So
26:07
Speaker 3: get to every single time you walk up.
26:10
Speaker 1: What let's go. That was a bad deal. That was
26:13
Speaker 1: a bad thing to tell us because came a competitive
26:15
Speaker 1: cop competitive night.
26:17
Speaker 5: For the best thing about Ada Wes too is like
26:20
Speaker 5: it would doc and and like let off at the
26:22
Speaker 5: same spot right on there, so you could go right
26:25
Speaker 5: right to Buckheads, you know what I mean.
26:26
Speaker 6: Our pal the port of call restaurant that he's talking about.
26:29
Speaker 6: It then morphed into at one point a place it
26:32
Speaker 6: was called Peer one oh six. Sure we were the
26:34
Speaker 6: street and we did a remote that I remember I did.
26:36
Speaker 6: We did like a remote and a podcast tape, beers
26:39
Speaker 6: on the table, right, the beers on the table remote.
26:41
Speaker 1: We had all Wagner there the first time up.
26:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, the first I met Wags and I told Wags,
26:46
Speaker 5: I said, I really enjoyed watching you pitch man, and
26:48
Speaker 5: he goes, why were you drunk?
26:50
Speaker 1: And that was the best. That was like, all right, now,
26:52
Speaker 1: I know this is Wags, like you know what I mean.
26:53
Speaker 5: It's your introduction to him, and he goes, man, I
26:56
Speaker 5: know you didn't enjoy watching my five point eighty r
26:58
Speaker 5: A and Milwaukee or whatever.
26:59
Speaker 6: The one year curreal that I was covering the Brewers
27:02
Speaker 6: and Wags who I played high school hoops against in
27:04
Speaker 6: baseball and stuff like, and he was pitching for the Bruis.
27:07
Speaker 1: Right, It was almost surreal.
27:09
Speaker 6: Contemporaries all right, seven nine four, one night three love
27:13
Speaker 6: that text and yes, we love to make that happen.
27:15
Speaker 1: Big fans.
27:15
Speaker 6: I uh, I live on the river, and I was
27:17
Speaker 6: gonna say, rights, I see them all the time. I
27:20
Speaker 6: waved to them for when I'm at my pool, you
27:22
Speaker 6: could jump in. I almost could you stop at my dock?
27:25
Speaker 6: Let me off?
27:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it really and it does become one of
27:28
Speaker 3: those deals where you you live in Milwaukee, have lived
27:30
Speaker 3: here my whole life, and all of a sudden you
27:33
Speaker 3: go on on one of the crews and you're.
27:34
Speaker 1: Like, Damn, why do I not do this all the
27:37
Speaker 1: time time? Why don't I do this all the time?
27:39
Speaker 3: How many times have I been backing zero?
27:44
Speaker 1: But that's again the thing.
27:46
Speaker 3: You're like, Damn, I'm really messing up because I need
27:48
Speaker 3: to be back and that is a great way to
27:51
Speaker 3: celebrate a summer day. And we need to start thinking
27:53
Speaker 3: about those good summer days, thinking about those days because
27:56
Speaker 3: they are coming. They are coming sooner rather than later.
27:59
Speaker 3: And uh, I hate that we're already doing this, Drew,
28:02
Speaker 3: because this also does feel like it's because of the
28:04
Speaker 3: basketball team and because we're inside of two weeks away
28:07
Speaker 3: from pitchers and catchers reporting we're gonna get to baseball season.
28:11
Speaker 1: But it's gonna it's gonna be it's gonna be a grind.
28:13
Speaker 3: We we're gonna have to live through potentially some real
28:16
Speaker 3: dark and cold sports days because the entertainment value is
28:20
Speaker 3: low right now in the NBA for us, yes it is.
28:24
Speaker 1: If you look elsewhere. Again, the NBA. NBA is going
28:28
Speaker 1: through a weird arc hasn't it like very much? Self?
28:30
Speaker 1: It's usually successful. Look at the salaries they can pay, right,
28:33
Speaker 1: they're not selling pencils or anything. They're gonna have another CBA.
28:37
Speaker 5: And all that.
28:37
Speaker 1: But there's it was.
28:39
Speaker 6: It's always trippy because they have fifteen men rosters and
28:42
Speaker 6: you got guys who you consider kind of stiffs, replaceables
28:45
Speaker 6: making ridiculous cash compared to a lot of suspectrum of
28:49
Speaker 6: baseball guys. And look at what I don't even know
28:52
Speaker 6: what does Aj Green make? Not that Aj Green I'm
28:55
Speaker 6: not picking on, right, but for what does he make at.
28:57
Speaker 3: Least ten I think he signed a four year, forty
29:00
Speaker 3: eight for year forty four million dollars deal.
29:03
Speaker 1: Uh in the season eleven point two five, he's on
29:06
Speaker 1: a four to forty five right.
29:07
Speaker 6: So like the guy's like and he's kind of a
29:09
Speaker 6: fringe starting almost adjacent player, a rotational player, right, sometimes starting.
29:15
Speaker 1: Good good way, but eleven million and then like Caleb
29:19
Speaker 1: Durban made six hundred grand or seven hundred or whatever
29:22
Speaker 1: the middle half of the Brewers starting lineup, damn near did, right,
29:25
Speaker 1: He's just yeah, well, what's Caleb Wes make?
29:27
Speaker 5: I mean that's the same in the NFL when you're
29:29
Speaker 5: on a rookie salary, you're making a million unless you're
29:32
Speaker 5: a high drag.
29:32
Speaker 1: Guess he's making a Yeah. But the numbers just become
29:36
Speaker 1: so astronomical in the NBA.
29:38
Speaker 6: They comes almost like Bobby Portois a starting player, but
29:41
Speaker 6: not an all star, right, No, that he was six
29:45
Speaker 6: Man of the year.
29:46
Speaker 1: Possible he's starting? Is he six man? Like would he
29:48
Speaker 1: start on some team? Sure? Other team's invitation.
29:51
Speaker 5: He's on like a three forty three, And everyone said
29:53
Speaker 5: that was a pay cut, like that was a hometown
29:55
Speaker 5: discounts of the bucks.
29:56
Speaker 1: Yeah.
29:57
Speaker 6: So but the NBA, I'm just saying, like the amount
29:59
Speaker 6: of money that they they pay and the job part
30:04
Speaker 6: of it is social media where the NBA leaned into
30:06
Speaker 6: that and they put out the best highlights and stuff,
30:08
Speaker 6: but there's no clips, and now that inside the NBA's
30:11
Speaker 6: can been kind of shelves by ESPN. That was the
30:14
Speaker 6: hub where I would watch Ernie Shack and the crew
30:18
Speaker 6: know what happened. I would watch them, but not the
30:21
Speaker 6: games that they were bumping into, like I'd watch their
30:23
Speaker 6: the panel. But that was better than the games. And
30:26
Speaker 6: it's become regional the way that baseball has in some ways.
30:29
Speaker 6: But for example, last night, great game Cooper Flag against
30:32
Speaker 6: Conkinepple yep.
30:33
Speaker 1: Like the game of the night last night was the
30:34
Speaker 1: two rookies going at it.
30:36
Speaker 6: Cooper Flag scores forty nine, but the Hornets win and
30:39
Speaker 6: that's just a great that's a great night of entertainment.
30:42
Speaker 1: Was that on anybody's radar to I didn't even know
30:44
Speaker 1: until like last night going on.
30:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, so it was going on. I don't know until
30:48
Speaker 6: it was in progress. Like, it's not that they don't
30:51
Speaker 6: plant that seed. And you the NBA, you can you
30:54
Speaker 6: can be an NBA fan. And I think there are
30:56
Speaker 6: a lot of people who are NBA fans who don't
30:58
Speaker 6: have NBA TV, don't even watch.
31:01
Speaker 1: A full game.
31:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the highlights watch the highlights are so good
31:06
Speaker 3: and the amount of the accessibility as to how they've
31:09
Speaker 3: beat They've allowed their product to be repurposed online. It's
31:13
Speaker 3: kudos to Adam Silver because it is adopted into the culture.
31:17
Speaker 3: I might not be able to sit down and watch
31:19
Speaker 3: two and a half hours of a game, especially in
31:21
Speaker 3: the midst of a Bedtimes circus that we're gonna roll
31:25
Speaker 3: through in the house, but sixteen minutes at the end
31:28
Speaker 3: of the game condensed in where I'm gonna see everything
31:31
Speaker 3: is a difficult beast to pass up. And I think
31:35
Speaker 3: the other part of it is Drew that that they've
31:37
Speaker 3: battled with are the games are so good in the playoffs,
31:41
Speaker 3: but there's so much volume in the regular season. You
31:45
Speaker 3: can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't
31:48
Speaker 3: make the kind of money that they do. You can't
31:51
Speaker 3: have the kind of luxury, luxurious travel and accouterments to
31:57
Speaker 3: the bill that you have if you don't play all
31:59
Speaker 3: of the those games and you don't have that much
32:01
Speaker 3: gait and those many banked nights to sell to networks. However,
32:06
Speaker 3: I think everybody watching the game on any given January nights, like,
32:10
Speaker 3: I mean, this is water.
32:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, we could make this sixty five and I think
32:14
Speaker 1: we'd all be okay. Like the viewers want less.
32:17
Speaker 3: I think the players want less, but everyone knows there's
32:20
Speaker 3: no chance you can have less because then the life
32:22
Speaker 3: that we've become accustomed to living goes away. And I've
32:25
Speaker 3: become accustomed to a certain standard of living. And I
32:27
Speaker 3: don't think the NBA is trying to go back.
32:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's an absolute catch twenty two BILLI you're right
32:31
Speaker 5: about that. I mean in terms of the lifestyle, in
32:33
Speaker 5: terms of the product as well. When it's so good
32:35
Speaker 5: in the playoffs and it's so different from the regular season, well,
32:38
Speaker 5: the reason that difference is stark, and people know that
32:41
Speaker 5: is like, okay, then they're gonna casual their way through
32:43
Speaker 5: the regular season.
32:44
Speaker 1: That's just the reality.
32:45
Speaker 5: I mean, even the most fervative NBA fans know that
32:47
Speaker 5: there isn't that much of a risk of missing part
32:52
Speaker 5: of a game in December or January when you know
32:54
Speaker 5: they're big ones coming up.
32:55
Speaker 1: So that's just the way it is.
32:57
Speaker 5: And the game becomes such a different game in the
32:59
Speaker 5: playoffs you're almost watching a different sport in a lot.
33:02
Speaker 1: Of ways in the regular season and something.
33:03
Speaker 5: But you're right, Billy, there's no way. They don't want
33:05
Speaker 5: to keep let that money back. They don't want those
33:07
Speaker 5: ticks getting smaller.
33:08
Speaker 1: So wild, and again we circle back to the honest thing.
33:12
Speaker 6: While the NBA media establishment, the media industrial complex is
33:16
Speaker 6: complaining and bemoaning, uh, the honest situation because everybody's tired
33:20
Speaker 6: of it and they want a resolution. And the GNIS
33:22
Speaker 6: hasn't come out and said he wants a trade, and
33:24
Speaker 6: the Bucks have and said anything. They're complaining about it.
33:28
Speaker 6: But what would they be talking about if.
33:30
Speaker 1: Not for that. Well, that's the thing.
33:31
Speaker 5: It's filled up their content, It's filled up.
33:34
Speaker 1: The storylines in the league.
33:37
Speaker 6: Like we're gonna argue, We're gonna would we have be
33:39
Speaker 6: having heated debates about whether Cooper Flagg Orkankinipple's rookie.
33:42
Speaker 1: Of the Year.
33:43
Speaker 5: No, okay maybe, but not a clicks won't get anything
33:48
Speaker 5: trades people want.
33:50
Speaker 1: People say, you know, this is like worse than anything
33:53
Speaker 1: Lebron ever did. Is it really like you know, it's
33:56
Speaker 1: the edge lords again.
33:59
Speaker 6: I think Zach Low called it, or Howard Becker, one
34:01
Speaker 6: of those guys, called it the most passive aggressive trade
34:05
Speaker 6: U demand.
34:06
Speaker 1: Oh that I would have all time, because I think
34:09
Speaker 1: I might agree with the passive aggressive part is it's
34:12
Speaker 1: like he won't say it, but his agent, like James
34:14
Speaker 1: Harden exists.
34:15
Speaker 3: But yes, yeah, there were guys that did something, but
34:17
Speaker 3: James Harden demanded a trade.
34:20
Speaker 1: You're also you're.
34:20
Speaker 3: Also talking to the guys talking about guy but that
34:23
Speaker 3: did demand trades. Yeah, the other one say I want
34:27
Speaker 3: to trade, but won't say it because they don't want
34:28
Speaker 3: to be the bad guy.
34:29
Speaker 5: Oh, Jimmy, that would be the different. Jimmy Butler's opposite
34:31
Speaker 5: of the Spectrum. He like bullied everyone practice and said.
34:34
Speaker 3: I'm yeah, I'm gonna put the ball kids before I play. Yeah.
34:38
Speaker 6: Absolute Classic eight seven seven seven nine four seven three.
34:41
Speaker 6: In addition to talking to Brooke Brighton from Spectrum News
34:46
Speaker 6: one about the weather and about other things and just
34:47
Speaker 6: catching up and talking to the voice of the Badger
34:50
Speaker 6: Sos Matt Lapey. We have a pair of Luke Bryant
34:53
Speaker 6: tickets to give away later in the program. That will
34:55
Speaker 6: be in the seven o'clock hour. It's our last pair
34:57
Speaker 6: for the show September twenty six at Alpine Valley, so
35:01
Speaker 6: stay tuned for that.
35:03
Speaker 1: The Honest Debate is interesting though.
35:05
Speaker 6: Who else would be in the discussion of the most
35:07
Speaker 6: loved athletes in Wisconsin sports history. We can tee that
35:11
Speaker 6: up if you have thoughts, If you just waking up,
35:13
Speaker 6: We're glad you're hanging out with us. It's the huddle
35:14
Speaker 6: on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Yeah, it's the Huddle Fox
35:18
Speaker 6: Sports Radio Wisconsin. Drew Arman and Billy Billy just uh,
35:21
Speaker 6: he just rose up.
35:24
Speaker 1: Up from the ashes like a phoenix. We will rise.
35:27
Speaker 3: Realized my chair was on why on earth, am im
35:30
Speaker 3: so down this morning.
35:32
Speaker 1: I'm not looking down at everything. I don't wake up
35:34
Speaker 1: a little bit.
35:35
Speaker 5: He had that moment he finally realized, it's sort of
35:37
Speaker 5: like sunrise time when Billy goes out during the break
35:41
Speaker 5: to watch the sunrise.
35:41
Speaker 1: You know the day's really starting.
35:43
Speaker 5: I mean, we're here, we exist, we're on, we're delivering
35:45
Speaker 5: the great content still since five am. But uh, you
35:48
Speaker 5: know there's a time they're like, all right now, no,
35:51
Speaker 5: really happened. Now the cobwebs are out. Boris and Brookfield,
35:54
Speaker 5: thanks for providing early morning, good local sports talk so early.
35:58
Speaker 1: This is fantastic. Thank you for being and wanting that content.
36:06
Speaker 1: Natasha doing Boris happy entertained. Yeah it sounds Russian. Is
36:11
Speaker 1: that the well, he's your penis, Boris and Natasha, it
36:14
Speaker 1: was a cartoon. Let google. I thought that one google
36:22
Speaker 1: the reference Armen a couple.
36:25
Speaker 4: You know.
36:25
Speaker 6: I have local political blogger Dan Schaeffer said tweet yesterday.
36:29
Speaker 6: Jannis is far and away the most beloved Sconson professional
36:32
Speaker 6: sports athlete of my lifetime. Definitely head of any individual
36:36
Speaker 6: Brewers player. And maybe this is a Milwaukee Central opinion,
36:38
Speaker 6: but I have him head of Rogers and Farv to
36:41
Speaker 6: quote it's not close now, recency bias, local bias, sure,
36:46
Speaker 6: but that started a bleep storm yesterday people replying, and
36:50
Speaker 6: one of the better replies came from a local journalist
36:52
Speaker 6: who said Milwaukee's view of the Wisconsin sports landscape is
36:55
Speaker 6: pretty skewed. To be honest, there are parts of the
36:57
Speaker 6: state where you can hardly watch a Brewers game, and
37:00
Speaker 6: stretches that don't care about basketball.
37:02
Speaker 1: Packers are the clear defaults statewide. Yeah, that's true. I
37:06
Speaker 1: think that's true. I think I like Dan.
37:08
Speaker 5: I think it's a little bit of a blind spot
37:10
Speaker 5: with you know, being in Milwaukee and you know that.
37:12
Speaker 5: But that's totally understandable. But outstated is that. But it's
37:15
Speaker 5: also okay.
37:16
Speaker 6: And Giannis is now if he goes somewhere and let's
37:21
Speaker 6: say in three years, Giannis's new team plays the Bucks
37:24
Speaker 6: in the finals, is he then the villain, the guy
37:26
Speaker 6: that we hate?
37:27
Speaker 3: Well, he said he didn't want to be a time
37:29
Speaker 3: where he ends up getting booed. That would be a
37:31
Speaker 3: time where you you'd be on the enemy side.
37:34
Speaker 6: Rogers and Farv had that gilded time, and they had
37:36
Speaker 6: their run a little bit longer than Giannis's, perhaps twelve
37:40
Speaker 6: twelve about to the same twelve years, you know, and
37:43
Speaker 6: but they had heel turns at the end and that was.
37:47
Speaker 1: Not you know, well, and I've always what about Reggie White? Yeah,
37:52
Speaker 1: retired when came back to Carolina.
37:55
Speaker 6: There was a time when if you just said Reggie
37:57
Speaker 6: White was absolutely people would have argued at the top
37:59
Speaker 6: and then they would have like, oh, what about like
38:01
Speaker 6: Paul Horning, what about Bart Star?
38:03
Speaker 5: Sure?
38:03
Speaker 1: What about you know those guys went to New Orleans?
38:05
Speaker 1: About Kareem went? And the olds will say what about Kareem?
38:08
Speaker 1: One of that time? What about John McLaughlin universally loved.
38:10
Speaker 3: I know my dad's waiting with Baited Brett to say
38:13
Speaker 3: Ray Nichke as the old packer that would actually walk
38:17
Speaker 3: through the parking lots and hang out with folks either
38:19
Speaker 3: before mostly after the game to see how everybody was
38:23
Speaker 3: doing and celebrating the victory.
38:25
Speaker 1: Also Pro Football Hall of Famer Leroy I would like to.
38:28
Speaker 3: Include into that conversation as somebody that is just every
38:32
Speaker 3: single time he walks up, people immediately get put into.
38:35
Speaker 1: A phenomenal mood.
38:37
Speaker 3: But there's always points in time where things potentially rocky
38:42
Speaker 3: or whatever it goes to I've always pushed back you
38:45
Speaker 3: you'd be able to answer a little bit better than I.
38:48
Speaker 3: I mean, I was born when Brett makes the dive
38:51
Speaker 3: in against the Falcons right in ninety four, So he's
38:54
Speaker 3: already started to ascend to people's favorite athlete in the world, right,
39:00
Speaker 3: and he's about to win three consecutive MVPs. So when
39:04
Speaker 3: I'm really cognizant of Brett Farvre, there's nothing better than
39:08
Speaker 3: Brett Farv.
39:08
Speaker 1: He can do absolutely no wrong.
39:10
Speaker 3: Then two thousand and three transpires, you know, and like,
39:13
Speaker 3: and then on seven goes through, and then there's like,
39:16
Speaker 3: there's little bits and pieces of it. But I never
39:18
Speaker 3: thought there would be a point in time where people
39:20
Speaker 3: would hate or me personally would hate Brett Farv. And
39:25
Speaker 3: then he plays in two thousand and nine with the
39:26
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings, and I don't know that I've ever hated
39:28
Speaker 3: somebody in professional sports more or at.
39:30
Speaker 1: Least in that moment at that time.
39:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that full back and forth, I don't know
39:36
Speaker 3: I'll ever people will ever get there with Giannis where
39:39
Speaker 3: there is a full, full fledged venom towards it.
39:42
Speaker 1: You made a two year calculated move to go and
39:46
Speaker 1: stick it to us.
39:47
Speaker 3: Not them, not Ted Thompson, but to the folks that
39:49
Speaker 3: were sitting here with the big bringback Brett dot Com
39:52
Speaker 3: banner that I was on every single morning, So that
39:55
Speaker 3: one felt a little bit more personal. I never felt
39:58
Speaker 3: like there was the full emotion, resonance or connection with
40:02
Speaker 3: Rogers that there was too.
40:04
Speaker 1: Far Absolutely nature.
40:05
Speaker 5: It was the emotional He wasn't cherished emotionally like far
40:09
Speaker 5: It was because a lot of people could relate to
40:12
Speaker 5: Farv in the way they felt they were in their
40:15
Speaker 5: perception at.
40:15
Speaker 6: Least, But it's also baked in that, you know, when
40:17
Speaker 6: Farv came he was part of the renaissance after thirty
40:20
Speaker 6: years ago, and Giannis had that too, has that too,
40:24
Speaker 6: Jihannas has that as well. Because they were The Bucks
40:26
Speaker 6: were bad. The Bradley Center Bucks were mostly bad.
40:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, That's why.
40:30
Speaker 6: There's no one oasis of the year that Arman can't
40:33
Speaker 6: forget with the one year age three, yeah, and going
40:35
Speaker 6: to the Eastern Conference Minel.
40:36
Speaker 1: But other than that, they were mostly bad in the ble.
40:39
Speaker 1: That's why there's another great player.
40:40
Speaker 5: Nothing will replace Giannis for most Bucks fans in that
40:42
Speaker 5: feeling like nothing's you know, yeah, but Gianna's was different
40:45
Speaker 5: and it will always be that way. That's why people
40:47
Speaker 5: will feel that way about it.
40:48
Speaker 3: Is it surprising to you as we go an hour
40:49
Speaker 3: number two that there's not another Brewer on this list
40:52
Speaker 3: since the maletor yachts.
40:53
Speaker 6: Motor you out, Well, that's here's the thing. Braun would
40:57
Speaker 6: be on that list for people if not for a
40:58
Speaker 6: certain little incident. Yeah, if it wasn't for a house
41:01
Speaker 6: that was to go to eight twelve, if you were
41:03
Speaker 6: of that age, and yeah, that was like, that was
41:06
Speaker 6: the zenith of Wisconsin sports. Was when Braun and Rogers
41:09
Speaker 6: were buddies and MVPs and pack Super Bowl and that
41:13
Speaker 6: was it.
41:13
Speaker 1: Man, that was the until Braun stepped in it. I
41:15
Speaker 1: don't you know.
41:16
Speaker 5: And and Young turned out to be a greater statue
41:19
Speaker 5: of a player in general on a Hall of Famer
41:21
Speaker 5: first ballot, all that Broun wasn't. But I still don't
41:24
Speaker 5: think it's because of the way people perceived UN's personality
41:28
Speaker 5: was and the way he was what he was about.
41:30
Speaker 5: They saw themselves in him, right, that quiet working class
41:33
Speaker 5: type thing that he becomes so loved beloved. So I
41:36
Speaker 5: don't know that even bron would have overtaken in that
41:39
Speaker 5: regard he'd be in the discussion. I think for you
41:41
Speaker 5: was good for the generation, for the people who grew up.
41:44
Speaker 1: This is how old are you? Absolutely? What again? How
41:47
Speaker 1: old are you?
41:48
Speaker 6: And who was the biggest star when you were in
41:50
Speaker 6: the sweet spot between eight and thirteen?
41:52
Speaker 5: Yeah?
41:52
Speaker 1: And a fan? Sure?
41:53
Speaker 3: Well, and you know that's where Robin yout and Paul
41:55
Speaker 3: Mouder are. Are not even in my zenith, right, they're
41:58
Speaker 3: not even in my in my conversation just to you
42:00
