• 1:04
  Speaker 5: Armin Sarian. On a Tuesday in the good land, World
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: Series Tuesday. Remember waiting all day till Sunday night? Remember
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: how quaint it was that we had to wait till
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Sunday for a Packers game? Now we gotta wait till
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Friday for a Brewers game. It seems like forever since
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: the Brewers played.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Drew, for a game and a sport that
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: becomes such a nightly companion, these off days stink.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I'm glad the team gets them. They need them. But
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: as the fans, it's kind of tough. Like, what am
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I going to do tonight? Watch reruns of Charmed? Watch
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Game Show Network? What are you going to do?
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: I'd watch some chain reaction on the Game Show Network.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you that much right now.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Sign up for that.
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: There's definitely an anticipation level where now it's Tuesday, but
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: we're going to be getting to these next couple days,
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: and it's going to be like, let's get this thing started.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: We're in the fall classic. Let's get it going.
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: Let's get it. Look at the schedule. It is going
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: to be an interesting situation if this goes game seven.
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: We talked a little bit about it yesterday, I think,
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: but with the trick-or-treating situation. But, I mean, not interesting
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: for me, because luckily, like, you know, it's still not
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: the age that we have to go around. We might
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: do it, but it's like.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Hold on, what?
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: All right, two years and, like, a couple months. Like,
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: she's not understanding enough yet to say, I need.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: To go trick-or-treating. Like, we'll do it, obviously.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I won't be doing it if we're in game seven.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I'll put it that way right now. Oh, you can
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: walk to a couple houses. You'll be fine. Game seven
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: of the World Series. I mean, I think. Put it
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: on your phone. I think we'll have other people. Also,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: who's going trick-or-treating at 7.15 at night?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Well, every.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that was the other question.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're going at five or six. You're going before
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: first pitch. I guess so, but every situation is different.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Every house is going to have it on at the
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: end of the driveway with dads trying to feed you.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: A Coors Light. That's the key right there.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I actually think I'd completely counter with you. I think
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: that should be one of your dreams. For somebody that
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: craves and just wants to be as neighborly as possible.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: For everyone to come together.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: And wants the grouping and the camaraderie of the neighborhood
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: to have vibes that exceed every kind of locker room celebration.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: That would be your trick or treat with all the
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: dads in the neighborhood. Everybody trying to outdo each other
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: on the outdoor setup of game seven.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: You're making me think differently now about it. I mean,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: that might be true. As somebody that gets, and Drew,
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: this is the best barometer here. Folks in my neighborhood,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: there's somebody set up a neighborhood get-together each Friday night
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: or Thursday night. Oh, yes.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: The block party. Drew, they sent out flyers with a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: QR code to RSVP. Wow.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: There's certain people that said, that's doing way too much.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Way.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: There's other people in this room that said, that's the
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: coolest thing I've ever heard of in my entire life.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. When are you going? What did you bring? Huge.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Remember my reaction when you first had that? I thought
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: that was the greatest. You're right, Billy. My reaction, I
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: don't know what it was.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: So you should be praying for this to be the
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: possibility because that is what you would get. Instead, you're
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: going to get a bunch of people shutting in, watching
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: it by themselves.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: If they're actually watching it. Now, you're right about that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: I wonder if, like, how many cul-de-sacs and things and
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: blocks will actually put up a.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Big screen and.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Well, everyone's going to be high on life too already
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: because the Badgers are going to beat down the Hawkeyes.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: When at Kinnick on Thanksgiving or Halloween day. Oh, that
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: is the 31st. 31st, 11 a.m.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Kick.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: So you'll be at home.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: You'll have listened to all of Badgers game day presented
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: by Cleary Building Corp on 1070 a.m.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Madison, 1310. Bill of Pride. Before the shamrocks applied. One
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of the best jingles of all time.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: And then you'll get right out there to enjoy Game
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: 7 World Series and a couple of Snickers bars.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And maybe you even enjoy an Almond Joy that night.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Maybe you really, really dig in deep, Drew, and have
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: some of the candy that you save for all the
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: ones that you don't like.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: All right, it is time for our Current Electric Superhero
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: of the Day, brought to us by our friends at callcurrent.com.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Current Electric, sponsor of this program since we started in January.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Big friends of ours. All the best. Superheroes on the
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: side of the van and inside.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: And Drew, I frankly, this week is hard not to
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: give it to Hunter Baumgart, providing us so much content
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: and Brewers fans so much content guarding up at five o'clock.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. He'll be back here after four 40.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Is anybody the superhero other than Rick Schlesinger for the
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: post that you just put out? Hey, I'll be able
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: to tamp down the timeless ticket. Freddie Peralta close second, right?
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Pitch in the raise the world series, ALCS MVP, phenomenal run,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: but being able to calm and quell problems is, And
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: that's exactly the spirit of what Current Electric does. You
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: got a problem that sparks up in your home, that
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden is illuminated in your home, you
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: go and solve that with Current Electric. Rick Schlesinger, president
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: of business operations for the Milwaukee Brewers, goes, wait a second,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: we got a problem going into game one of the
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: World Series at home, first one in 44 years? Correcting
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: the timeless ticket deal. Just make it my future problem
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: and let's push it away. Enjoy those tickets on us, guys,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: and cash that thing in next year.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: Now, if you've got that, so then you've not lost
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: your $ 1, 000 timeless ticket privilege. You've gotten some other perks
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: along the way. What is it, like eight or nine
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: games you can go to? They got a bunch of tickets, right?
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: And then you can, yeah, and then, but if you
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: have the right to use that, basically for, again, free
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: that you paid for.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: But then to buy three at $ 1, 000 each, and those
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: are flippable. If they're going right, you can triple your money.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: This could be an investor's boon there. Or you can
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: take some friends and family. and split the cost up
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: a little bit.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: No, but, and what I was chewing on over the
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: break was, does this also open it up for them
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: to do it again?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Like now, I don't know, man.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Now people have seen, okay, they felt like it was
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: wrong to do the terrorist level, so they're definitely not
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: going to do it to us again.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: We could charge $ 1, 500.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: We could charge $ 1, 500, let you know that you're going
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: to get yourself maybe a loge ticket, lock in where
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: the subject to availability is, and then see, you know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: now that people have already cashed in on one, I
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised if all of a sudden in two
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: years they could.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: Do it again.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Now, other venues do this.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: I just got an email today from our friends at
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: the Papston Riverside Theaters, the local music in Milwaukee, and
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: they have like a concierge club where you can join
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: this club and you get access. You have your own
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: kind of ticket broker, and you can call. You get
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: two tickets available to a show of your choice, and
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: then you also have kind of an inside track to
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: purchase tickets. Any show you want to go to, you're
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: kind of– Kind of get like first call. Like you're
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: a season ticket holder. Yeah, kind of like a season
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: ticket holder, sort of. But it's like 500 bucks for
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: that privilege. And it's kind of a similar concept. But
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: the timeless ticket thing, we always had this thing with
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: the Wonka ticket. Just imagine everything for you in your
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: limo and you get to go wherever you want and
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: that kind of deal.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: The celebrity treatment, the court side, toes on the wood
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: type treatment.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: But the terms and conditions, like the Brewers have a
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: legal department.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: The vast one.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: Best available makes it subject to availability is the clause
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: that did the heavy lift there. And again, like we said,
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: let's say you have a concert venue or you want
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: to buy a ticket, this Wonka-type ticket to Fiserv Forum,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: and you're guaranteed for $ 1, 000 or $ 1, 500. First row tickets
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: to the show of your choice, like one first row ticket.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: First row. If it's spelled out that way, you get
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: to go in the first row. Okay. Well, then that's
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: not what this is, though.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: This is just the ability to buy tickets to any
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: game you wanted.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: That's why this is an easy win for the Brewers,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: but not one that I thought that they would necessarily take. Because, Drew,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I do believe that legal department, very much so, was
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: going to and had a very plausible argument and case
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: as to, hey, it is the availability.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: This is the availability we have. But then for Rick
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: to say we violated the spirit of it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. People thought, well, I'd get good seats. Yeah.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: When my man said I thought I was going to
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: be 10 rows up, I was laughing as I'm watching
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: the video.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm sorry, man. I get it if you
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: thought you were going to be in the bleachers.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Cool. That would be a good spot. That's not. I
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: know it's not the best ticket that you have available. Again,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: you're not going to be sitting next to Drew, the
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: official scorer. They're going to put you somewhere, and you're
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: going to have a nice view of the game.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: It was definitely a good win for them to roll
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: through with.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: But I'm fascinated to see if this would, just like
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: the stock sale, all of a sudden maybe this is our,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: this would be our chance to be able to cash
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: in a little bit extra here.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Like a revenue thing.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: The only thing is you do have to give something
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: tangible back eventually.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: But you're right, Billy.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: There's a revenue stream there. Maybe you could definitely increase
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: the pricing. after seeing inflation, markets, all that stuff.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: You could raise the price. And then also, I think
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: the one reason why I think more people would cash
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: in on the investment is because of drew what you
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: said of the opportunity to then flip three more.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: That you buy for a thousand bucks.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Like that's the big, that was one of the greatest
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: values of that timeless ticket that we found out about
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: this week.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: Also, if it becomes more than just a commodity and
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: like the social capital, which basically is what the stockholder
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: certificate did, it became your trophy to say, I'm, I'm,
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: one of the elite, one of the most important, one
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: of the better fans. If there's something to that where
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: you're so-and-so and you want to have that thing in
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: your mantle and more people know about it and say, wow, okay,
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: there you go, then that's, I think, another factor, Billy,
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: where people would be willing to pay for that a
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: little bit.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know, just a thought. And it's a good
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: way for Rick to say, like, hey, by the way,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: we were right.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: Like, we have legal, we're legally right, but we violated
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: the spirit of the rule. Just so you know, we
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: didn't actually violate the rule, but we violated.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: The spirit of the rule, so.
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: And this way the brewers don't have to give up
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: any of their current inventory that they were going to give.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: They don't have to kick anyone out of seats. They
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: don't have to give up money in that sense and
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: lose any. So good on the brewers. Once again, making
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: the right decision. On the field, upstairs, everywhere.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Pretty good.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Call Current.com, the website, Current Electric, the sponsor of the
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: Superhero of the Day segment.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: The best kind of people to be able to work
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: with and the superheroes that will save the day for you. Now, Drew,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: when you win, everything comes, good things roll around. Down
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: in Houston, apparently. New video, courtesy of KHOU. TV in Houston.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Jim Crane, owner of the Houston Astros, walking the red carpet.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: with Brewers assistant GM Matt Klein last week at the
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Houston Sports Hall of Fame event as Klein is reportedly
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: a candidate to be the new GM of the Houston Astros.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Not surprising that now the Brewers might be the Rays
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: of the NL where people are trying to pluck their
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: front office folks. The Rays have had people be churned
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: out of that organization, Matt Arnold one of them, and
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: continually plucked because of how good they've been over the
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: last two decades. See Andrew Friedman, who's maybe done it
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: better than anybody out in L out in Los Angeles.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: And he's done it better than a lot of folks.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: People tried to grab someone from new England. Everybody thought
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: they were going to get the next Bella check out
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: of new England. Bring that process here. And Jeannie, Patricia,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: all these guys didn't work, didn't work, but Friedman and,
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: and Arnold would be two of the case studies of,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: and you know, Matt Arnold didn't have to do it
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: all himself. Friedman probably more than anybody. was able to
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: kind of take that model of Tampa, bring it out
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: to the big market, and then supplement it with all
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: the cash in the world that they've had. Sounds a
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: lot easier to do than how the Dodgers have been
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: able to do it because David Stearns, right, he had
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: some training time down there in Tampa Bay, if I'm
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: not mistaken, and it doesn't seem like he's been able
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: to bring that out to New York.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not yet. No, but you're right.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, if you're other teams in this league, how
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: do you not just try to fill that soil?
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: It's the front office incubator. You got to.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: I mean, you got to look at the Brewers and say,
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: all right, we want to grab some of those guys.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: How do you not try and get a piece of
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: that magic potion and till that soil? That's to be expected.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: I think you're going to see a lot of that,
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: which is a compliment. You just reload. Listen, there was
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: concern when Council left. There was concern when Stearns.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Left, and the Brewers have reloaded and gotten better. So
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: that's what you want. That's what you want. Give it
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: to us.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: 877-794-1973.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: This game's getting tight in the NBA, Billy.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Pottawatomie Sportsbook, the matinee people are digging themselves right now.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: My goodness.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: And as somebody that may or may not have had
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: the Detroit Pistons before the game, the 24-7 run that
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: closed the gap in the third and now a 9-0
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: run to make it a one-point game in the fourth
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: makes this a little entertaining one for everybody that's checking
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: it out on happy hour. That's why the happy hour
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: huddle needs live sports. The only time we got live
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: sports while we were huddling up in the morning– Was what?
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: The Olympics that we got? Olympics in the hospital. We
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: got good taste of that. I said sports.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Don't do that to me.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: You might not like it, but it's an athletic endeavor.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Tennis is a very athletic endeavor. That's all I'm going
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: to say. Team sports.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Now that we get team sports on and much, much
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: better to invest on and folks will be able to enjoy,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: you know, there might not be a matinee, but there'll
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: be games tipping off on Thursday night at the Thursday
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: night huddle at Pottawatomie Sportsbook while we're there from five
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: to seven, Drew.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, no question.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: This would be a good one to be watching the
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: sports book. You'd be getting your money's worth. You're going
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: to get your money's worth on Thursday, though. You want
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: to talk about what we got coming up on Thursday
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: for the Thursday night huddle?
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Wayne Larravee live and in person. Love that.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Always fun when Wayne's on.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Your chance in person at the annex just outside of
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: the Pottawatomie sports book to register to win a pair
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: of tickets to see Bon Jovi at Soldier Field in July.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: have to be in person, must be there to register.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: We will pick the winner at a later date, and
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: you will be confirmed and let known if you have
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: won at a later time, but we will have to
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: draw it all there, or you'll have to register it there.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: we're going to get the greatest preview of world series game.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: Number one, because we're going to have Hunter Baumgart boots
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: on the ground, a few doors down at American family
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: field for the workout. So Thursday is a day. You're
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: not going to want to miss for the huddle. Cause
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: we've got it covered wall to wall for the Thursday night.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: Sweet.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. It would be sweet getting you ready.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: Um, Yeah, and Hunter will be providing us with reports
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: from the ballpark that day.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: It's going to be cool. Good sound that we're going
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: to get.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: That's going to be a heavy octane show coming up
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: on Thursday. And, I mean, oh, by the way, department,
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: I know football is kind of a hard thing to
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: focus on. Got a huge tilt coming up on Sunday, 325,
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: the Brady game, Packers and Lions, but also a nice
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: one on Thursday night. Armin, have you availed your eyes
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: to the Thursday night matchup this week? Maybe your greatest
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: hate watch in the NFL of quarterbacks, Drake May and
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: the New England Patriots against Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that will be one.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, May's turned it around since I talked,
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: so maybe I should watch myself. But I guess you're
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: going to get to cheer for those two guys or
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: cheer against both of them in a way, but that'll
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: be a good one.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see. Caleb came back, played well, obviously,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: for the Bears.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: I got a feeling you might be one of the
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: only ones cheering against Drake May in this area.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not like a hater of him. I just wasn't
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: impressed with him.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: And then he, you know, they called him the schedule
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: last year because of the week schedule. Did obviously go
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: deep in the, you know, went to the Super Bowl,
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: but had a good year. Had a tough start to
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: this year. Turned it around a bit. I really don't
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: have anything against him. I'm not like a Duke guy.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Or anything like that.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: You know, but it's like, it's like, I just wasn't
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: as impressed with them, but maybe I'll be wrong. I'd
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: much trust me. Oh, there's no question. I want the
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: bears to lose. Is that what you're wondering? It's not
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: personal for me. Like it is with Caleb and Ben Johnson.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: That's personal.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: No, just when you say cheering against, I don't know
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: that there's anybody here cheering against Drake may other than you.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: I just let that just proves we'll cheer for a
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: lot of things to make sure we're No, I'm.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: Cheering to be right in that one. That's no question.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: Because it doesn't really do anything to my fandom. It
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: just has to do with my ability, hopefully, to be right.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: But that'll be a fun one. Because a hate watch
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: is just as good as a love watch.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: Like we said, a hate watch helped the Brewers-Dodgers receive
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: record ratings.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Amen to that.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: Or the biggest in years, because people wanted to see
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: the Dodgers lose. And there were a lot cheering for
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: our side on that one. You need stuff to cheer for.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: We cheer for Rob and Chris at HappyPlaceHemp.com. We're coming
• 17:33

• 18:07
  Speaker 4: point to and that we could go to here for
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: the four 20 story of what are you high, but
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: I just got to say the four 20. What are
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: you high story is the NBA tipping off the NBA
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: season at two o'clock.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: And it's kind of interesting. Isn't it?
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Is, is that, is that too low hanging a fruit?
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: You have banner night, drew $ 1, 800. Get in the door price.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: LeBron James and his new hometown team. Well, his team
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: playing against his hometown team as he's living in New York,
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: playing for the 76ers at Madison square garden.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: That's all you need to tip it off, baby.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: We didn't need these, you know, incredible deviled eggs that
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: we're getting the appetizer of Boston Celtics in Detroit.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I'm glad we got them just like all the hors d'oeuvres.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: I am never upset that they come around, but when
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: you've put the filet mignon in front of you for
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: the main course and don't know that we needed the appetizers.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: What are you high NBA two o'clock on it? Love that.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Two o'clock on a Tuesday.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: It works for like a weekend day, like a, like
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: a long Saturday of games and stuff like a kickoff
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: day or a tip off day.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: But this is kind of odd.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's Tuesday at two o'clock now it's a
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: good game, but I'm sure a lot of people aren't
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: aware of it. I thought you were going to go
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: with the, what are you high Billy of the, the
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: story you sent me the other day of the, the,
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: the poor soul that traveled 1200 miles for his AI
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: dream girl.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: That was tough. That was tough. That was a tough one.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a 49-year-old bricklayer, 1,200 miles, only to discover that
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: his dream girl was.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: He laid a brick. Beware out there. Like me at
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Open Gym.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that's a brick, dude. That's my
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: man Airball in that thing.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's pretty... Yeah, it's a computer chip. I mean,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of fake stuff on the internet, guys,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: That's true. It's pretty sad. We've touched that base. You
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: are in the huddle.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew Billion-Armond huddled up on this
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Tuesday in the good land. We did get some news
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: today regarding a musical act. Armand was saying that reports
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: are that Jay-Z tabbed himself after an extensive search of
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: the hallway to headline the Super Bowl.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, and he's never done it. It is obviously
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: a big name, but it's kind of funny because he
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: runs it.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: He's like, you know what?
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I'm just picking myself. I'm activating myself like Dorn in
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Major League Two.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: We did get an announcement about a musical act at SoFi, though.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: The NFL announced that at halftime of the Thanksgiving Eve
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: matchup between the Packers and the Rams, you too will perform.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Whoa. Okay.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: From opening the sphere to that game is on the Netflix.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, indeed.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: So you too for the Packers second game in franchise
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: history on a Wednesday. The other was September 28, 1938
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: against the Chicago Cardinals in Buffalo.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: Now, was that one moved because of the World Series, too?
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Like the Bucks-Bulls on Friday night at 3 o'clock?
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: So, yes, this marks the first time that the NFL
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: Thanksgiving football starts on Thanksgiving Eve, as well as the
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: 50th anniversary of U2.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's go, U2. Come on.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: Now, that's going to be a good audience for them.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Because I'm assuming, at least Netflix is planning on it,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: that they get more of an international audience for that game. Obviously,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: all of their subscribers throughout the globe. So, good time
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: for them. There were a lot of people that had
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: a lot of takes on U2 after the Sphere show.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: But when you say 35-year celebration of U2.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: 50th, 50th.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Bro, they could walk out there and put the guitar
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: down and walk out. And I think people would be okay.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: 50 year celebration.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: They've had a, they've done, did everything you can imagine.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, look at Armand spinning through.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Nice work.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Come on now. They got hits.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: A lot of hits. I think they've got some songs.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: They've got a few.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: Tom Crean used to love you too. I mean, everyone did,
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: but you know, it's kind of like the band of
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: the eighties. It was a little, I would say, you know,
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: and beyond, but definitely in the eighties. The, The song
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: was the Badgers intro for the longest time, and they
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: demanded it came back.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Once again is.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: And Marquette used it for a long time with Kareem
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: for theirs, too. So there was always a little debate
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: on who was first on that one.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, you guys copied us. Same old stuff. But yeah,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: he loved them. Kareem loved them. I mean, yeah, everyone does.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, those guys were awesome. They rock. It's a big, big.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: That's a cool thing. Big concert.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: On Blackout Wednesday.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Got to get used to that. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Personally,
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: it's like I do like going out on the Wednesday
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: before Thanksgiving, but I also like not working on Thanksgiving itself.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Both are okay. Yep, yep. Either one's going to work.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Media starts with me.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: We do Packers OT, and we've had to juggle things
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: on Thanksgiving the last couple years.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: And this is going to be the first year that
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I've been entrusted for the massive family Thanksgiving season.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Your boy's on bird duty this year.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Huge.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Today you are a man. That's a huge deal. Bill's
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: got the turkey.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: But I do know, and again, sometimes Drew Olsen rings
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: in my mind. I remember one time Drew saying, you're
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: never going to feel more like a man. I might
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: get the verbiage wrong. The adult is when you're standing
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: there on Thanksgiving with the bird that you just cooked
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: and everybody's looking at you with that knife saying.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: All right, let's see what you got. Now you gotta
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: slice it. Now what? See what you got. Perform. Get
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: the electric knife out. Because you can't, you'd mess that up.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Your ass in the jackpot. I don't care how well
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: it's cooked.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: You slice that thing wrong, you're going to look like
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: the biggest beginner of all time.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: Outside of that drive home with your wife and newborn,
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: a few more adult smacking you in the face moments.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: The torch has been passed. It's now on you.
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: Are you smoking that bird outside, Billy? Is that what
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: the process is? You better believe it. Traeger's going to
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: get one bird. I believe there's a There's a possibility
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: with the amount of people we might need two.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: So there might be one in the oven, one on
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: the smoker. But there will definitely be one on the Traeger.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: I've been waiting too long to be able to do that.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Just don't deep fry it and set something on fire.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: No. We've seen that.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Those deep fryer things, the deep fryer mishaps with the
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: turkeys are as good as the backup terrier.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: That's the basically. Thousand percent.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: Basically.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Backup terrier. That's basically the backup terrier. Backup terrier. Also,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: the butterball hotline, I think, is still active.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: The other one is the boiling water frozen in the
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: freezing temperature and throwing it out into the backyard and
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: people still not realizing that stuff's going to come back
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: at you.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a problem. That one's going to blow back
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: at you.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Be very careful.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: That is not a good plan. That one's not rolling
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: very well. No, I've been waiting to smoke the bird
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: on the Traeger.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Pause, yeah. No pause, actually. Sorry about that. I appreciate it.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: I appreciate you trying to pause me smoking meat.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Just get the right bird, man. That's the main thing.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: You just want to make sure it's a texture turkey. Well,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: it's also got to be well brined.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: That's a big thing. You got to brine that thing.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: It's a big thing for people now. All the videos
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: that we watch on YouTube now, Billy, all the time
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: that we send back and forth about meat, it's all
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: about brining it, right?
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Drive by it at age, this and that. So what's
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the brine going to be? Failing, you know, failing....
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: To prepare is preparing to fail. So the preparation is
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: going to be perfect for this one. We're going to
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: figure it out. We've got plenty of time to be
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: able to deal with that. You've got a lot of time.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: More than anything, Drew, I'm just glad that throughout that
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: whole night, luckily the Packers aren't going to deal with
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Devontae Adams that night. Sad news for Devontae Adams. I
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: hate that he's going on IR. Ruptured hamstring does not
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: sound like something you come back from in the same year,
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: but he's going to try to do it with a
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: cleanup of the hamstring. But That beat came and went
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: from one of the most marquee games of the year
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: to two weeks ago. People thinking might be cheeks might
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: be an awful, might be an awful game. Miles Garrett
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: might not be playing. The Rams can't beat the Cardinals
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: and the Packers can't block anybody. And now I do
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: believe is going to have massive playoff implications. Once that
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: thing comes back around, because you're going to be able to,
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: somebody is going to be able to feast on the
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: NFC East team that.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Wins that division.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Those wildcard spots are going to be tightly contested with
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: the NFC North and the NFC West.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: So you're going to want that game big time. Yeah, absolutely.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: But we're on to Detroit right now. We should be
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: focusing on the Lions and the fact that Josh Jacobs might,
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: may or may not, but very likely will tote the
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: rock a couple times on a pitch count for the Packers.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: And could it be Aaron Banks and Kevin Zeitler starting
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: at guard? I'd be surprised with Banks, but should I be?
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, LeFleur kind of hinted at it. He had
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: his best week of practice, and he looks good. He
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: laid the groundwork for it.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Now, we talked to Lincoln Tomlinson on Packers OT, and
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: I think he's been really good. He's been better than
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Travis Glover, who's gotten a lot of shine because Glover
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: was so surprisingly good. Going back and watching the game
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: this past weekend, it's definitely Kevin Zeitler time. You watch
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: it a little bit more, Drew, and that all 22
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: came out. Glover has played okay, but now I think
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: there's definite room for improvement there.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: But you have the money committed to banks.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I guess it makes sense to take the shot, but
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: I really like what I've been seeing on that left
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: side with Tomlinson. I would not be quick to be
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: flipping that left guard around. I'm excited about right. Not
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: necessarily at, at the left side, but Kevin's either also
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: played in Detroit.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: He's, he'd be ready to.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Go for this one. I would assume he had one
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: of the best years of his career there a couple
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: of years ago. When they ultimately didn't re-sign him.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: You and I were talking about why aren't the Packers
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: jumping at that a couple of years ago. That could
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: be a seismic change.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Matt LaFleur did mention and was asked about Jacobs and
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: what kind of impact he can have. More than anything,
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Adam Stenovich was talking about Jacobs. just how big of
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: a boost it is having him in the backfield. Sure,
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: he can just make you right so many more times
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: than the Packers have had the ability to be made
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: right by the group that they have in the backfield
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: right now. They just right now don't have anybody that
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: has the ability to.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Create some gap where there's a little bit of movement.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: It's not always four guys laying on the ground in
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: the opposing shirts, but there is some room. You got
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: to be able to dig through instead of it. Earlier
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: on today, Josh will definitely help. He's an excellent player.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: He'll provide some spark for us on offense. He'll also,
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: you would assume drew. provides some spark, again, in the
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: locker room because it's a dude that's been voted captain
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: back-to-back years. That's a good point. And he has been
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: one of their biggest attitude players, I would say, in
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: his time in Green Bay.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Well, definitely. We used to talk about him that way.
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: He's the guy that wanted to lead, wanted to be
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: that type of guy and bring that type of energy.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: And look, the Packers' run game cannot get much worse.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: So I don't think any of these things would help.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: It's hard to imagine it struggling more than it would.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: You know, you could.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: You look at last week's game, and it went well
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: for the Packers, and they won. And thanks mostly to Jordan.
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: The running game struggled. You could say Pierre Strong's their
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: best option at back right now, which is I don't
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: think something many people would have said going into this.
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: No, he hasn't moved the needle much.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: And that's the problem, I think. That's the reality of it.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: So anything to help, I would say.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: I saw Najee Harris got released by the Giants.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's an option, but.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: No, that one's definitely not an option. But did you
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: see who their new option at QB.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Is going to be coming up potentially this week? The
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Mac Jones rumor?
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: No.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Did you see what nine now 2.0 did? Oh yeah.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: In the fourth quarter, my man put up 230 yards passing.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: Oh, I thought there was something else I didn't hear about. Oh,
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: McCarthy had a great game in that second. I was
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: shocked as anybody. Now he wasn't, no, you can't scout.
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: Maybe you didn't scout for him or whatever it was,
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: or it was soft zone. I don't know what to,
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: I don't explain that, but the man looked like a
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: totally different.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: He did throw a pick, which again, there is a
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: wide open receiver on the left side.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: He throws it to the right side.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Directly into defenders chest. Yeah. Still a little bit of
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy in there. Still best case scenario for the giants.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Look at this guy. He can give us a chance.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: That's how they can talk to themselves. That's how it's been.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: I was jumping ahead because the Philadelphia thing, they might
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: trade a second rounder for Mac Jones.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: And that one, that one makes sense. That one makes
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: way too much. Your team is too good. And that
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: division is awful right now. Yeah.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: You can't just forfeit the rest of the, you know, I.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Think that I heard a stat. If it's correct, it's mind-boggling.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: It's the first time in NFL history this late into
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: the year, no team has won back-to-back games in the division. Wow.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: That's stunning.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: That doesn't even sound like it is possible. But when
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: you look at what they've done, they've just been very,
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: very herky-jerky. And I think the Giants would have had
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: the best opportunity to do so, but stumbled upon it
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: potentially with darts.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: That is a winnable division with the best players out there. And, yeah,
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Mac Jones, the 49ers, they watered that bamboo. They always
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: say you got water bamboo three times a day, doesn't
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: grow a lick. Six months later, sprouts six feet in
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: six weeks. So I ain't been watering that bamboo. They
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: turned that thing into a second round big drew. That
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: is a win on that Mac Jones signing that they had.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Hey, we're final in Detroit. How about Detroit?
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: After Billy's throwing strays at the entire city.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: Well, this week, they're going to catch a lot of strays.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: We're not Detroit. Yeah, it could be a lot worse. Hey,
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, we could live in Detroit.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Nice comeback against the Celtics here. They went final. Hooper's
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: loving it. You guys know Hooper. He's the mascot for
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: the Pistons. I think it's a horse. I did not
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: know that.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a whooper. Oh, okay. I don't know why. Definitely not.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: I got bad news for you. He's not the most
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: impressive mascot in the NBA. That guy lives in Utah.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see. You like him. I'm blanking on the
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: name now. I don't know.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: It's a weird gorilla bear looking thing. Kind of looks
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: like Bigfoot.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That guy is a menace. Probably is actually. Absolute menace.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Bango's birthday party. They bring in all the mascots.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm. You'd have to have one guy watching him every
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: single time. All of a sudden, you look over, and true,
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: the guy's standing on a railing right next to a fan.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: What are we doing, sir?
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Can't be doing that. There's way too much liability here.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: It's hilarious. But wow, how about that? The NBA season
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: is now underway. Off with a bang. Off with a bang,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: and the Pistons with a comeback win over the Celtics.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Take the L, Boston. Take the L. Take the L.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: 877-794-1973.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: NicoletLaw.com.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: Talk and text line. You're running out of time to
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: text us today. We're going to take a quick break,
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: and when we come back, Hunter Baumgart is coming back
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: for more as we're talking Brewers and everything else. It's
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio. All right, Drew, Billy, and
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: Harmon coming to the end of our Tuesday run. Hunter
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: Baumgart joining us. He's getting ready to do a little
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: baseball show.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: This week is just unbelievable. We're going to talk a
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: little ball. You can talk ball all night, Hunter. Yeah.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Ready to talk ball, ready to do shows, ready to travel.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: He'll do anything. We have the matchup, Brewers and Rays.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: We already kicked around the Brandon Woodruff possibility, but then
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: after you left, we saw the Ken Rosenthal piece about
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: how they might not be able to replace him because
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: that might be deemed a chronic problem, not a flare-up. Unless,
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: as Billy said, he camouflages it as a twisted ankle
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: or a back injury.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Finding a way to do it.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's the thing, right? I think they're
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: going to talk to, and it sounds like they have
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: talked to Major League Baseball and probably got clarification, like, okay,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: here are the lines. Now, how can you prove any
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: of that? That's a good question, but they're clearly going
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: to them and trying to get a little more information.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: This is the World Series.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: It would give everybody a little warm and fuzzy, and
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: it would hit you in the feels if Woodruff can
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: throw again. But didn't I hear the manager say just recently,
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: this is a tryout?
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Well, 100%.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: He said that. Isn't there like a conflict there? Yes.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: I think if they talk to Major League Baseball and
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: they think that there is a chance that if he
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: pitches and cannot pitch anymore, that he cannot be replaced
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: on this roster, I don't know if they're going to
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: want to risk that when they have a chance to
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: win a world title.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: I get the story.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: I get Woodruff.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: But I just don't know if they're willing to make
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: that risk.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: If he doesn't. Get added to the roster for this series.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: Has he thrown his last pitch for the Brewers? Was
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: that July 4th?
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Possibly.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, I would struggle to see it, especially if, and again,
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: now this is not tryouts. This is not here for
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: feel-good stories. But if he did bust his ass now
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: for the last three months and this being the pinnacle
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: and you talked about it and you planned it and
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: you worked it out and you thought about it and
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden he comes up to you and says, look,
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: this is what I just did against live hitters. I
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: know that I can do it.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: I'm ready. I might not have gone through three rehab stints.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: I wasn't going to do that either way. I'm going
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: up against big league hitters. I can get you three outs.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: And then they say no? I'd struggle to come back.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: I would definitely struggle to be coming back.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Yep. You did all that you could over the last
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: three months, and then you're not able to get on
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: that roster.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: It's not like you owe me anything.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: No.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: But if you believe and believed in the beginning of
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: the year that I could be the leader of the rotation,
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: now I believe that I could get you three outs,
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: that would be a tough one to come back from. So, Drew,
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: I would say at that point he would.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: What about you?
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: Nobody owes anybody anything, really. And it is about winning
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: the World Series. And what's your value and your utility?
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: At the same time, they've got two guys that haven't
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: pitched in the playoffs at all.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: And one guy that didn't, you know, Sensatella, Hunter didn't
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: even notice Sensatella didn't pitch in the four.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Games against the Dodgers. You're right. It's like you have
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: a little wiggle room there.
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: You do.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: You absolutely do. This would be different if those guys
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: had been a key part.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: You can get special dispensation for injured players to sit
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: in the dugout in uniform.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: He's got to at least do that. Well, he's done that.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: He's got to at least do that.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: We were saying have him throw out the first pitch
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: before game two because you don't know if.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: You're coming back after game two. That would be a
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: good one.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: Even if he's not on the roster, let him throw
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: out a first pitch and be recognized that way and
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: get the thunderous ovation that he'll get.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: It's fascinating.
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: The thing is, I think you've got to see that
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: he can get guys out and be effective.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: That's what it's about right now. For sure.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: There's a chance where he faced live hitters today and
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: it did not look great, and they say.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nice try.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: But if he goes three up, three down... Cooper, Pratt, Luis, Lara,
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: and Joey Ortiz... Yes, absolutely, Billy. That's the other part.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: He did come back in his, what, the one after
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: his first injury. Did he make a rehab start? I
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: thought he threw his bullets right at the big league level.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: How long has he been throwing? Like six weeks?
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: A month or six weeks he's been throwing, starting on
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: flat ground, and then he got up off the mound recently.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: The mound was like 1st of October-ish is when they
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: were going to talk about it.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: So three weeks off a mount.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: So Lindo's sim game, he's basically where starting pitchers would
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: be in their first spring training start.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: You're good for one inning. Yeah.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: 25, maybe 30. That is where you're at. If there's
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: a couple guys on, you're out. You're not finishing the inning.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: A lot of times they do because the hitters are
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: behind at that point. But again, it's in tryouts. It's
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: not about the feels.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: As cool as the story is, you want a guy
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: who's just that, that much of a wild card in
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: the World Series?
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Is it worth it?
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: What gets me is the not being able to replace
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: him thing. That whole codicil in the rule book is like,
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: if you could replace him, no problem, then, yeah, all right.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: I'm fine in a second circuit, Josh. I'm going full
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: SEC and finding some kind of a loophole into this
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: deal on the injured. All I need is a week.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: I need a week's restraining order on your rule. But
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: the other part is, like, it is a wild card.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: So are the two guys that you would potentially pitch
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: that haven't pitched in a game. Kyle Harrison or Chad Patrick.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you're going to throw Chad Patrick in
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: what a three run game, that's as much of a
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: wild card as anybody could be at this moment.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: That's a really good point too. And obviously Kyle Harrison
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: had the shaky end of the season to put it
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: lightly and has not pitched in the postseason. Like you said, they,
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: those guys have not pitched in a game setting. since
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: the end of September. And now we're October 20th. It'll
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: be the 23rd by the time the world series starts.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: If, and again, if I understandably, so the Harrison one
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: is break glass in case of emergency, somebody has to
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: wear it, meet and throw 60 pitches.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: That's something Woody probably couldn't do. It couldn't do at
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: this moment, but yeah, God bless you, Kyle Harrison. If
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: I'm going to roll the dice and say this guy's
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: first playoff appearance or this guy's season vet most appearances
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: and has pitched in the playoffs before, I'm throwing Woody
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: out the path.
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: I just remember them wheezing to the finish in a...
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: In an important game, extra innings and having Junior Guerra
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: throw until his arm was falling off.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Junior Guerra, what a pull. Had to just go out
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: there and get the innings. You're there until it's over.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: That's all we got. You're there until it's over. Because
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: you're not pitching Bowers and Sanchez at this point.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Right, exactly.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: And Bryce Wilson isn't on the roster.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right. That was his main role. So, yeah,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: that's fascinating. Always ready to get signed. I cheer for
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: the story, and Woodruff would be amazing. It would be awesome.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, I would love to see him on that mound.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: It would have to be as an opener, though.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: I just can't see.
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: It just makes way too much sense.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: You might as well get the first three, get the
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: post and go. It'd have to be as the opener.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: Because you can predict what the score will be when
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: he takes the mound.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: And it's going to be 0-0. And he'll be facing
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: the top of the order. Diaz and Caminero. Are you
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: surprised Chad Patrick still doesn't pitch? I'm surprised.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: I thought he would be that sixth inning guy or so.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: And they've been able to just get around it, whether
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: it's been Ben Romero, whether it's been Dustin May, whether
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: it's been whoever it is, Uribe's come in in the
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: sixth inning. Those guys have done that. And then they've
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: used Ashby for a million innings at the end of
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: the game as well. And that has– if you use
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: Ashby for two or three at the end, okay, that
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: gets rid of one of your guys that you have
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: to use. And they've just trusted Ashby. I mean, look
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: at Ashby and what he's done at the 12th shutout inning.
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: That's– while you fear the long layoff for some guys–
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: The Uribe and Ashby needed it and will be better,
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: I think.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: And the Rays haven't seen them. Totally.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: I think the rest helps them for sure.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I think it helps them more than it hurts the
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: other guys. For sure.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: I think Bowers has been beat up as good as
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: he's been playing. He's still beat up. Joey's still beat up.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: These guys are still battling stuff. Everybody's battling stuff at
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: this point.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: But that rest....
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: As much as people are like rust and all that,
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not too worried about that. The
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: Rays have a three-day off period as well.
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: They've dealt with it before. And then how about Miz
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: is just like empty the tank time.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. That's where I was wondering. Where are we
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: sitting here?
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: This is potentially your last start of the season.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. If you can win in five, we might not
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: need you again.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: So if he's throwing 104- Well, and that'll be another
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: pitch six.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: And if he's holstered up and your season gets onto the,
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: onto the brink somewhere that it hadn't been here.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: When do you go to him potentially in a non-normal role?
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Got to be ready for that in game seven.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: He was ready to do it in San Diego.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: You have to be ready for that. Stay tuned.
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: Hunter Baumgart's got you from five until six o'clock this evening.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: Tomorrow on the program, we've got a hot take hump day.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: We got LFA. Yes.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: And we'll probably try to rope in one of our
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: other guests. Who's on with you tonight, Hunter?
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: Vinny Retino will be on at 520.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Pride of Racine. Setting that up for us. All right.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: We will see you again tomorrow at 2 o'clock.
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: Hunter, have fun. Be listening to you on the drive home.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: Peace.
