Latest / The Huddle / 08/20/26 - Hour 1
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: You are looking live at a trio of somewhat tired
- 0:05Speaker 1: but enthusiastic dudes.
- 0:08Speaker 2: We call the show the Huddle, Drew Billy Arman. Some
- 0:12Speaker 2: Thursday sitting different this week, boys, usually I got springing
- 0:15Speaker 2: up now.
- 0:15Speaker 3: Maybe it's because the Brewers lost.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I also think it had something to do with
- 0:19Speaker 1: the Dustin May appearance, that that might take a little
- 0:21Speaker 1: wind out of your sales. No, we still love you,
- 0:23Speaker 1: Dustin May. We still love you. We don't love seven
- 0:25Speaker 1: runs in the first two innings. But yeah, I definitely
- 0:28Speaker 1: a little slower here on this Friday, Junior, one day
- 0:32Speaker 1: away from Packers and Broncos, one day away from apparently
- 0:36Speaker 1: more Jordan love playing like.
- 0:38Speaker 3: So, a little bit of wind in the sales. But Drew, your.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Boy had an absolute war with the snooze button this morning.
- 0:44Speaker 3: That's tough.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh a twelve round fight now. The sadly
- 0:50Speaker 1: for the snooze button. I'm prime Mike Tyson when it
- 0:53Speaker 1: ultimately comes up to it, like I will win the war.
- 0:56Speaker 1: But I was taking some absolute body blows and it
- 0:59Speaker 1: was a difficult one to wake up here this morning.
- 1:00Speaker 3: I'm glad that I wasn't the only one begs the question.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Early knock out round sometimes begs the question, what does
- 1:05Speaker 3: the alarm on your phone sound like? Ah? I actually
- 1:11Speaker 3: have no alarm, no sound.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Mine is just the hardcore vibration, uh from mostly just
- 1:18Speaker 1: the last three years having the kids within the earshot.
- 1:22Speaker 1: I had to have been trained myself to just figure
- 1:25Speaker 1: up on that vibration. And it's also like basically attached
- 1:29Speaker 1: to my boy. I guess the watch. Yeah, no, no,
- 1:32Speaker 1: I mean like the phone like I am, like where
- 1:34Speaker 1: I'll hold my hand and it's probably still touching one
- 1:37Speaker 1: of the last three digits on my Yeah, just because
- 1:41Speaker 1: I you know, I gotta keep that thing on me.
- 1:43Speaker 1: I keep that thing on me as a thirty two
- 1:45Speaker 1: year old that's now grown up and developed with it.
- 1:47Speaker 4: You keep the charger, And I've always wondered how you charge,
- 1:50Speaker 4: like when you charge your phone, Billy, because usually it's
- 1:52Speaker 4: not on your person, But do you just leave the
- 1:54Speaker 4: charger hooked up and then on phone the person. I've
- 1:57Speaker 4: always wondered that about your phone situation because it feels like.
- 2:01Speaker 3: You would have it. I'm glad.
- 2:04Speaker 1: I'm glad that I enter your thought process. So how
- 2:07Speaker 1: I do it is there's a small charging station next
- 2:10Speaker 1: next to my bed with a phone charger that has
- 2:13Speaker 1: a cord right and then I plugged that one in and.
- 2:15Speaker 3: You just keep it, keep it right there.
- 2:18Speaker 4: And I realized the reason I wonder is because like
- 2:20Speaker 4: my phone is too old where the chargers barely connect. Now,
- 2:23Speaker 4: you know that you got to wrap it around because
- 2:27Speaker 4: like in my world, for like probably over a year now,
- 2:30Speaker 4: I haven't been able to just charge a phone connection,
- 2:33Speaker 4: like leave it wherever. It's got to be like balanced
- 2:35Speaker 4: the right way, or like on a platform charger or.
- 2:38Speaker 3: Something like that.
- 2:38Speaker 4: So I guess that makes a lot of sense because
- 2:40Speaker 4: I'm always like, man, what is when does Billy's phone
- 2:43Speaker 4: get charged? Because my man's always ready to go with
- 2:46Speaker 4: with some more content on there, which is impressive.
- 2:49Speaker 3: But I appreciate that the vibration thing would make me nervous.
- 2:52Speaker 4: If that's all was counting on a wake me up
- 2:54Speaker 4: like then I wouldn't be able to fall asleep. But
- 2:56Speaker 4: so I have to answer your question. Do I have
- 2:58Speaker 4: the regular bump bum bump up? I think the Samsung alarm.
- 3:01Speaker 4: I don't know whatever it is, it's just you know,
- 3:04Speaker 4: And then I like had that little moment every time
- 3:07Speaker 4: it goes off where I'm like, that's not real, that's fake, Like.
- 3:11Speaker 3: It can't happen, like Tiffany Gomes that is not real.
- 3:15Speaker 3: That that is not real.
- 3:16Speaker 4: In the back of the plane as it then I realized, oh,
- 3:18Speaker 4: it is real.
- 3:19Speaker 3: This is my life.
- 3:20Speaker 4: I have to get up, down and go, you know,
- 3:22Speaker 4: And that's the reality of it. They crawl around looking
- 3:24Speaker 4: for a shirt and then we go, you know, crawl around.
- 3:28Speaker 3: Basically well, you know, in the dark. I don't want
- 3:30Speaker 3: to fall too much. Yeah, you know, mine is like
- 3:33Speaker 3: a series of musical notes.
- 3:36Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a nice little wakes yet yeah, spark today.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:40Speaker 2: My wife's like she doesn't even know. She's like, I
- 3:42Speaker 2: don't even know what it is. She's like, I'm semi
- 3:45Speaker 2: aware of it, but not really.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Well, I wake to it, and I don't know if
- 3:47Speaker 1: you guys are the same way, but uh, you know,
- 3:49Speaker 1: when we when me and my wife first date it,
- 3:51Speaker 1: we're starting dating. She was working far earlier than I was. No,
- 3:55Speaker 1: she was starting and opening around like six six fifteen.
- 3:58Speaker 1: She was up early. I was working nights at the time. Now,
- 4:02Speaker 1: your boy went actually snoozing rather much a bear, right,
- 4:06Speaker 1: Like for that three hours where it's gonna be hard down,
- 4:10Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to wake me up in any
- 4:12Speaker 1: any regard.
- 4:14Speaker 3: So I rarely would ever hear anything but you.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Stopping around, lights, flipping on, banging around different things.
- 4:23Speaker 3: I feel like at this point, like.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Not necessarily like pots and pants, but you may be
- 4:28Speaker 1: potentially getting some things fired.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Up, like your dad would do in the weekends, so
- 4:31Speaker 3: like everybody get up, or like.
- 4:33Speaker 1: When I was in my mid twenties living in the basement,
- 4:36Speaker 1: and I swear my dad had cinder blocks on his feet,
- 4:39Speaker 1: especially after he knew that there was a triple cripple
- 4:41Speaker 1: Thursday at Club four hundred, where you feel like I
- 4:45Speaker 1: got the like the flashlight on, just trying to tiptoe around.
- 4:49Speaker 3: Yeah, you're being considerate.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Yeah, you feel that there might be almost like a
- 4:53Speaker 1: little bit of a difference, but you try so hard,
- 4:55Speaker 1: And then I realized they probably aren't waking up.
- 4:57Speaker 2: For mind, when you visit your parents, you will realize,
- 4:59Speaker 2: my buddy just went through this, Like you know, pops.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Pops would get up six am, start unloading the dishwasher
- 5:06Speaker 2: as loudly as.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Possible, just to get everyone up in hots.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Pans, just just as loudly as possible.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Like if I'm up, everybody else, everybody else is meeting,
- 5:16Speaker 3: no doubt about it.
- 5:17Speaker 4: And it's like, you know, you're sleeping at Graham and
- 5:19Speaker 4: Grandpa's house, and I'm like, I don't want them to
- 5:20Speaker 4: think I'm, you know, sleeping too late like a bum.
- 5:23Speaker 4: So it's like I better get up and get going here,
- 5:25Speaker 4: you know, because then then they're gonna be like, ar man,
- 5:26Speaker 4: why are we you just sleeping so late? And then
- 5:28Speaker 4: I'm like, oh man, you know, I just think, yeah,
- 5:31Speaker 4: right exactly, but coffee's been ready. But see, I used
- 5:34Speaker 4: to be at night owl before we did this shift,
- 5:36Speaker 4: like you know, and I used to work, like you said, Billy,
- 5:38Speaker 4: different shifts afternoon late.
- 5:39Speaker 3: You know, guy, we've all done that. So I used
- 5:41Speaker 3: to be a night owl.
- 5:42Speaker 4: So I was like slamming away at the one am
- 5:44Speaker 4: seinfeldt on TBS.
- 5:46Speaker 2: You know most of my life has been as a
- 5:48Speaker 2: second shift worker.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So like I was, you know.
- 5:52Speaker 2: The covering sports and being at games, and I'm like,
- 5:54Speaker 2: you know, it's three to midnight basically, and then you
- 5:57Speaker 2: can eat a couple of hours stone wine, and your
- 5:59Speaker 2: day expand that way, it doesn't expand the other way
- 6:02Speaker 2: you don't get up earlier and go to bed right
- 6:03Speaker 2: after work, and then happened, it doesn't happen.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Which it was a great timing to hit the bar.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Then yeah, that thing that that was my much of
- 6:11Speaker 2: my beat career happened with my wife and say youngster
- 6:14Speaker 2: at home or just even my wife and well she's
- 6:18Speaker 2: already asleep. I can be home by eleven o'clock and
- 6:22Speaker 2: sit up until one, or I can go have a
- 6:24Speaker 2: couple of pops at the and then.
- 6:27Speaker 3: And then go, Yes, timing didn't change.
- 6:31Speaker 1: That's my That is my favorite when uh, when we
- 6:33Speaker 1: get the questions of us, so what's the what's the
- 6:35Speaker 1: morning show?
- 6:36Speaker 3: Like, Well, it's a little bit different it.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Compared to where I where we have all been at
- 6:40Speaker 1: different stages of life, where you laughed at the thought
- 6:42Speaker 1: of uh, wait a second, the only time I'm be
- 6:44Speaker 1: up at four am is for a flight. Now we
- 6:47Speaker 1: get to take flight with you and you know, basically
- 6:49Speaker 1: as send into the into the stratosphere over the next
- 6:51Speaker 1: couple of hours. Uh, And it's uh, it's definitely a
- 6:54Speaker 1: different realm. If it wasn't four kids, Drew, I mean,
- 6:58Speaker 1: there's a very good chance that Pat Murphy would be
- 7:01Speaker 1: right though in that intro, and that there will be
- 7:02Speaker 1: times I just yep, all night video games, rolling around.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Spin the clock, find my alarm. Here, this is my
- 7:10Speaker 3: I think this.
- 7:11Speaker 4: Is my young radio career. They used to tell me, oh, Armen,
- 7:13Speaker 4: you just spin the clock like that, and that's already
- 7:18Speaker 4: for a documentary.
- 7:20Speaker 3: No see.
- 7:20Speaker 1: But that's the nice ease in the ramp up, which
- 7:23Speaker 1: I hear is a very important deal in the wake
- 7:26Speaker 1: up deal daybreak.
- 7:27Speaker 4: That sounds like the audio version of the physical of
- 7:31Speaker 4: your slowly getting into the hot tub without jumping in too.
- 7:34Speaker 3: Hot, but you're climbing up a version. That's why the
- 7:39Speaker 3: sound is called. The alarm is called daybreak.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Take a little day is breaking at four a m.
- 7:46Speaker 4: I could figure mine out if you want, but it's
- 7:47Speaker 4: probably not as exciting.
- 7:50Speaker 3: I do.
- 7:52Speaker 2: You're you're just lucky that we keep you in the
- 7:54Speaker 2: group chat. You're the only guy that's not an Apple guy,
- 7:56Speaker 2: and you're always.
- 7:58Speaker 4: I've heard that. Then again, I hear that a lot
- 8:02Speaker 4: about my primary group chats.
- 8:03Speaker 3: I have about four of them. Yeah, yes I am.
- 8:06Speaker 3: I'm a truckle with dad. Okay, that's fine.
- 8:07Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a knuckle tragger, But I do hear that
- 8:10Speaker 4: about my group chats like arm and we're green because
- 8:13Speaker 4: of you or the green bubble. However we use the
- 8:15Speaker 4: one providing some content. It's a trade off. Then again,
- 8:18Speaker 4: people don't probably want that content. Question then yeah, RM,
- 8:22Speaker 4: stop texting us. You don't have to respond to everything.
- 8:25Speaker 3: There might be an element of that.
- 8:26Speaker 2: You're not the most egregious, so there are some people
- 8:29Speaker 2: who are just it's agonizing being in the reply all
- 8:31Speaker 2: and the group chat that you don't want to be
- 8:33Speaker 2: part of.
- 8:33Speaker 3: Appreciate that I've worked on that. Thank you. I've worked
- 8:36Speaker 3: on that. I've shown more restraint recently. No idea. I've
- 8:39Speaker 3: worked on that.
- 8:40Speaker 4: I know.
- 8:40Speaker 3: I believe it. I believe it.
- 8:41Speaker 1: But okay, let me ask you this. Do you set
- 8:44Speaker 1: more than one alarm? Because that's the other thing.
- 8:45Speaker 2: I do that, And it's dumb because I said it
- 8:48Speaker 2: in one like this news is like ten. I think
- 8:51Speaker 2: I have it set for ten, eleven, ten minutes or something,
- 8:54Speaker 2: and then the next alarm comes right behind it. And
- 8:57Speaker 2: sometimes I sometimes I'll wake up and I'm looking at
- 8:59Speaker 2: my phone, like what happened last night?
- 9:00Speaker 3: What am I gonna? What am I walking into? Yeah?
- 9:03Speaker 2: And then that in that period between the alarms, and
- 9:06Speaker 2: if I forget to turn off the second alarm, then.
- 9:08Speaker 3: It's like, oh, well, bleep, I gotta get up there.
- 9:11Speaker 1: It's rolling through, yeah, and mine all if you need
- 9:13Speaker 1: the second alarm, but I kind of need it. Yeah,
- 9:15Speaker 1: I needed to because mine to get out of bed
- 9:17Speaker 1: and stop looking at the phone. It tells me hey,
- 9:19Speaker 1: buddy at that time, because mine are also all different,
- 9:23Speaker 1: have different titles, right, so the first one is nice, well, yeah,
- 9:28Speaker 1: if the first one is hey, wake up that that
- 9:32Speaker 1: that fires up around three forty five, get yourself in here.
- 9:35Speaker 1: The very last one is get the bleep out of
- 9:38Speaker 1: bed or you will be late and you will get fired.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Like that is actually in all caps, just as much
- 9:44Speaker 1: of a line, just to allow yourself.
- 9:46Speaker 3: That's amazing. Sweet. I guess that's it. I guess that's
- 9:49Speaker 3: actually it.
- 9:50Speaker 1: And now, sadly, the one time that I got close
- 9:53Speaker 1: to missing it, this was when it was six to ten, uh,
- 9:56Speaker 1: just for kicks with Harmon and Billy on nobs. Uh
- 9:59Speaker 1: was this maybe no November? It was pretty quickly after
- 10:02Speaker 1: we had transitioned. Okay, I remember all that, and Arma
- 10:06Speaker 1: was just you know, taking deep breath hanging out sitting there,
- 10:08Speaker 1: and uh, I got the tap on the shoulder from
- 10:10Speaker 1: my wife as she came down from you know, putting
- 10:13Speaker 1: the little one back down butt five forty eight, five
- 10:17Speaker 1: point fifty, and she goes, hey, aren't supposed to be
- 10:19Speaker 1: at work. And I rolled over, looked at it and realized, yeah,
- 10:22Speaker 1: So I grabbed my phone, I didn't grab my keys,
- 10:24Speaker 1: I didn't change my shirt. I walked straight over to
- 10:26Speaker 1: the car, walked down though, and we I mean we
- 10:29Speaker 1: walked in here probably about thirty five seconds before we started.
- 10:32Speaker 1: And I looked over at arm and I'm like, you
- 10:33Speaker 1: don't understand how close you were to doing that whole show.
- 10:35Speaker 1: But you don't understand how close you were to doing
- 10:38Speaker 1: that whole thing by yourself.
- 10:39Speaker 3: But a moment when it fires in, we're ready to roll.
- 10:42Speaker 4: You know what's funny about it is, you know, with
- 10:44Speaker 4: this shift, you do worry about that morrow, and in
- 10:47Speaker 4: theory it shouldn't be any different than the other one.
- 10:48Speaker 3: You get up at a certain time whatever.
- 10:50Speaker 4: But man, I I always not as much now as
- 10:54Speaker 4: I'm older, but always had a paranoia of sleeping in
- 10:57Speaker 4: in the morning show. So because that I could never
- 10:59Speaker 4: get to bed. But to answer your question, because that drew,
- 11:01Speaker 4: I set four alarms. Now I've never gone past number two,
- 11:04Speaker 4: but that's good. That's a place that I want to be.
- 11:06Speaker 4: So I do set multiple alarms. But then it's like,
- 11:09Speaker 4: you know, you don't want to know you had those
- 11:11Speaker 4: alarms because it acts like a snooze button. And then
- 11:13Speaker 4: it's like, you know, I try not to wake up
- 11:16Speaker 4: Laura before I leave, but it's always Then we've had
- 11:18Speaker 4: to establish some rules, like arman, have your keys downstairs,
- 11:22Speaker 4: not on your dressers, so they don't jangle while you're
- 11:25Speaker 4: getting up, because then I get up and it's like, okay,
- 11:27Speaker 4: that's another thing. But four alarms is the way I go.
- 11:30Speaker 4: And I used to make fun of the multiple alarm
- 11:32Speaker 4: people because I used to just tell myself, well, you
- 11:34Speaker 4: already making excuses. I mean, I mean, I like you,
- 11:37Speaker 4: I mean like, are you gonna get up or not?
- 11:39Speaker 3: Like that.
- 11:39Speaker 4: Those alarms are just there for you to snooze. So
- 11:41Speaker 4: but I understand now they're all fail safe.
- 11:43Speaker 3: You want to make.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Sure eight seven seven seven nine three. What we've done
- 11:48Speaker 2: today is formed a support group for people in the
- 11:50Speaker 2: five o'clock club.
- 11:51Speaker 3: Yes, and just there going in.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Yeah, there are two types of people in the five
- 11:54Speaker 2: o'clock club. People who are willingly awake at this hour,
- 12:00Speaker 2: talk about it. We call them the early risers insomni
- 12:04Speaker 2: and the socio pass waiting for the health club to open.
- 12:07Speaker 3: And then there are people who have to be up
- 12:09Speaker 3: at this hour, which.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Is us, which is yeah, five o'clock club jets Man.
- 12:19Speaker 3: Number ninety nine. I don't think he's ever been number
- 12:21Speaker 3: one in the five o'clock clubs.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Well, statman Steve gets up to photograph sunrises and that's
- 12:25Speaker 2: what he's into. And he's a photographer, and that's okay.
- 12:28Speaker 2: Well that's he's a five o'clock clubber by choice.
- 12:33Speaker 3: That's it, right there. That's your alarm. That's it. That's
- 12:37Speaker 3: your alarm. Yeah, good or bad? What do you? I think?
- 12:40Speaker 3: That just sounds like an ice cream truck box, not
- 12:45Speaker 3: an alarm clock. I've got a music box. I opened up,
- 12:48Speaker 3: pallerina spinning around it.
- 12:51Speaker 4: Does actually right, something a ballerina something else sounds like
- 12:54Speaker 4: a music box.
- 12:55Speaker 1: And top and starts to dancing.
- 12:59Speaker 3: Gidd you imagine the sales on that. All right, sorry,
- 13:01Speaker 3: back to the big sales now.
- 13:03Speaker 1: If you want to talk about something that could get
- 13:05Speaker 1: put into action. Don't tempt people around the state of
- 13:09Speaker 1: Wisconsin of an arm and sorry and music boy.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Yeah, that'd be yeah. But Stavean Steem does it by choice.
- 13:14Speaker 4: It's part of his craft, right, He's got to get
- 13:16Speaker 4: up for Golden Hour.
- 13:18Speaker 3: Well he likes it. Yeah, Golden Hour, I guess golden Now.
- 13:20Speaker 1: I was gonna say, there's two Golden hours right in
- 13:22Speaker 1: the afternoon and in the morning sunrise. We had uh
- 13:25Speaker 1: at at Carroll University in my freshman year. Drew during
- 13:29Speaker 1: some you know a little bit of construction and renovation
- 13:32Speaker 1: that they were doing on the gym and realizing that
- 13:36Speaker 1: you're in there whenever they tell you that you have
- 13:38Speaker 1: the thirty five minutes to be able to use the
- 13:39Speaker 1: weight room or use the gym. Our six am workout
- 13:42Speaker 1: group turned into the five am workout group my freshman year.
- 13:46Speaker 1: That was the most consistently early I had waken I
- 13:49Speaker 1: had woken up at and there there were thirty five
- 13:54Speaker 1: forty of us ended up being thirty five forty of
- 13:55Speaker 1: our best friends. Like really a good group that we
- 13:57Speaker 1: had fun, fun time. The hike over from the dorm
- 14:02Speaker 1: over to the weight room there at four point thirty
- 14:03Speaker 1: in the morning was always a character building moment. But
- 14:07Speaker 1: there would be that one psychopath and I remember my
- 14:09Speaker 1: buddy Gianni.
- 14:10Speaker 3: This dude would wake up an.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Hour and a half to two hours before the five
- 14:16Speaker 1: am workout geez, simply to start getting the process going.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Right now, I don't know how many of the people
- 14:22Speaker 1: that are listening to us getting rolling and are waiting
- 14:25Speaker 1: outside of the YMCA. And he's actually the guy I
- 14:27Speaker 1: think of whenever you say the sociopaths waiting outside of
- 14:30Speaker 1: the YMCA in the little vestibule, waiting for them to
- 14:33Speaker 1: unlock the second door. He'd wake up like two hours
- 14:36Speaker 1: early to get a little bit of the pre workout going.
- 14:38Speaker 1: He always had to get in like three or four
- 14:39Speaker 1: games of Call of Duty to really get the blood flow,
- 14:42Speaker 1: get the heart pumping. It was one of the most
- 14:44Speaker 1: craziest things that I've ever seen. As I'm hating every
- 14:47Speaker 1: bit of my life, this dude is in full swing.
- 14:50Speaker 1: He's just wanted to get up and wanted to get
- 14:51Speaker 1: the day roll, wanted to get it started, wanted to
- 14:53Speaker 1: get it sparked up.
- 14:54Speaker 3: And there are a few folks like that.
- 14:57Speaker 1: I generally would laugh at that t of enthusiasm and
- 15:00Speaker 1: excitement to be up this early.
- 15:02Speaker 3: But it is commendable.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Like that is one thing where you do meet somebody
- 15:06Speaker 1: that just says, all I need to do is mac
- 15:08Speaker 1: collins at get my bare feet on the turf outside
- 15:11Speaker 1: and see that sunrise. That's willpower that I just wish
- 15:14Speaker 1: I had, and maybe at some point in my life
- 15:16Speaker 1: I will get to that maturity.
- 15:17Speaker 4: Well, you have gotten to the point where you've embraced
- 15:20Speaker 4: the sunrise. When we started doing that ship Billy into
- 15:23Speaker 4: the sunrises. Remember, you had to make sure you caught
- 15:25Speaker 4: it during the break and all that time.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Uff I gotta actually start timing that up again because
- 15:30Speaker 1: you know it's.
- 15:30Speaker 3: It's later and later. Obviously we used to past six
- 15:33Speaker 3: six a m. Sunrise.
- 15:34Speaker 4: I don't know what it is, but yeah, that was
- 15:36Speaker 4: always interesting to me. After the pre workout, I knew
- 15:38Speaker 4: a guy that got up one am for a morning show.
- 15:40Speaker 4: I'm like, well, what's the point. Just spend the clock
- 15:42Speaker 4: and then go to bed after the show. Just let's ground.
- 15:45Speaker 4: I don't really understand it exactly.
- 15:48Speaker 3: Now, Drew.
- 15:49Speaker 1: I've seen a little bit of the universal time that
- 15:52Speaker 1: people are coming up with. Is this your full universal
- 15:54Speaker 1: time that there was some rumblings and maturations of or
- 15:57Speaker 1: is it kind of a spinoff bad verse version of it.
- 16:01Speaker 1: I'm not sure what you're referring to. I've seen some
- 16:03Speaker 1: different thoughts on it online. But as to where the
- 16:06Speaker 1: u IF daylight savings got just eliminated across the states?
- 16:10Speaker 1: Not the same as yours of every both think so
- 16:12Speaker 1: known on the same time thing as a global universal,
- 16:15Speaker 1: global universal time. Okay, there's been on that. I like
- 16:18Speaker 1: that one actually a lot better than the trouble. Universal
- 16:21Speaker 1: time gets rid of time zones. There's none of this
- 16:25Speaker 1: all the way around.
- 16:27Speaker 2: You wouldn't say it's six o'clock on the West coast
- 16:30Speaker 2: and nine o'clock on the East coast, because it would
- 16:32Speaker 2: be the same.
- 16:32Speaker 3: It would just be six the same time.
- 16:36Speaker 2: We would pick and we would shift everybody to where
- 16:38Speaker 2: it anywhere in the world. That's what time it is. Sure,
- 16:41Speaker 2: and it might seem upside down and you might have
- 16:43Speaker 2: to go with a twenty four hour clock kind of ver. Sure,
- 16:46Speaker 2: so you know, hey, the.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Brewers, Linda Military time Brewers are playing the Mariners today
- 16:52Speaker 1: at fourteen fourteen thirty and then okay, so it's fourteen
- 16:56Speaker 1: thirty everywhere in the world at the same time. I'll
- 16:58Speaker 1: be honest with you. It would make plan a lot easier.
- 17:01Speaker 1: It would make it would make the cross the theory
- 17:06Speaker 1: behind it. Conference calls.
- 17:09Speaker 2: My wife does a lot of business with people overseas,
- 17:11Speaker 2: and sure on the phone with people over seas and
- 17:13Speaker 2: sometimes oh, well, sorry, well we have to call. It's
- 17:16Speaker 2: your morning, my night. But for everybody, it's fourteen or
- 17:18Speaker 2: it's seventeen, or it's the same time, and we know
- 17:21Speaker 2: when the wake windows. And when I suggested this people,
- 17:24Speaker 2: you know, people freaked out and we had a long
- 17:26Speaker 2: discussion about it, and Arman.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Was part of this. Yeah, I remember that.
- 17:29Speaker 1: But but people were like, I don't want to eat
- 17:31Speaker 1: breakfast at eight at night.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Well it would still be morning, but it would just
- 17:35Speaker 2: be you we randomly. People don't realize that this construct
- 17:38Speaker 2: of time that we have is only like one hundred
- 17:40Speaker 2: and fifty years old or something like that.
- 17:41Speaker 3: So it's like, well, why wouldn't it just be It
- 17:44Speaker 3: wouldn't be fully breaking by the sun dial.
- 17:46Speaker 2: But it's like you, you would just have to wrap
- 17:48Speaker 2: your brain around instead of like I think that's the
- 17:50Speaker 2: part for school starts at eight am or seven am
- 17:53Speaker 2: for kids like it. It might start at fifteen, right
- 17:57Speaker 2: or whatever it might be, but it's not gonna change
- 18:01Speaker 2: your life.
- 18:01Speaker 3: It's just the same. The way I think we couldn't
- 18:04Speaker 3: handle it just blows people's mind.
- 18:06Speaker 1: I think at some point we would become like roundabouts
- 18:08Speaker 1: where ultimately people would figure it out. Right, at some point,
- 18:11Speaker 1: at some point you'd figure it out. A lot of
- 18:15Speaker 1: a lot of ugly starts, There'll be a lot of
- 18:18Speaker 1: in the middle, a lot of it would be a
- 18:19Speaker 1: bloody process to get there, but we would eventually get there.
- 18:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Well, and like, are they gonna punt to daylights it?
- 18:25Speaker 2: And probably not this year.
- 18:26Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 18:27Speaker 1: I didn't see and and again this is what happens
- 18:30Speaker 1: in stream of conscious. But I'm doing the Carry the
- 18:32Speaker 1: G radio the podcast my friend Aaron Angler today.
- 18:35Speaker 3: Uh and uh man.
- 18:37Speaker 1: I struggle with one time zone of Eastern time to
- 18:40Speaker 1: Central time. And if you one and you talk to
- 18:43Speaker 1: people on the East coast, you believe that is American time, right,
- 18:47Speaker 1: like that everybody in America would just go off what
- 18:50Speaker 1: their clock is and then adjust and do your own math. Right,
- 18:53Speaker 1: It's like, why don't you work around what everybody else does?
- 18:57Speaker 1: So uh, Luckily that one's dropping later on this afternoon.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Folks are listening looking for something to ease the time
- 19:03Speaker 1: and pass the time as you wait for packers and
- 19:05Speaker 1: Broncos coming later on.
- 19:06Speaker 3: Yeah, a segment. I love this one. That was Farms
- 19:09Speaker 3: time zone.
- 19:09Speaker 4: This is what it was.
- 19:10Speaker 3: Coordinated Coordinated Universal time. Yeah, that's right, Universal Court Universe.
- 19:16Speaker 3: We can't do a TC. We can't get this whole
- 19:18Speaker 3: world of humanity to do the same thing. How about that?
- 19:20Speaker 2: What if you lived in like, isn't there Indiana? Like
- 19:23Speaker 2: part of it has daylight sometime part of it doesn't.
- 19:25Speaker 2: Two time zones in a state.
- 19:26Speaker 4: They keep Chicago Land in Central Time and again like, uh,
- 19:30Speaker 4: I'm going to uh the Upper Peninsula next week for
- 19:34Speaker 4: a bachelor party.
- 19:35Speaker 3: Very excited for that one.
- 19:36Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna be the sleeping guy in the bachelor party,
- 19:38Speaker 1: but that's fine. There's also a casino there. The up
- 19:42Speaker 1: is should be Wisconsin, We've all known that and we
- 19:46Speaker 1: all agree on that. But the state of Michigan is
- 19:49Speaker 1: over here. The up is over here. Tell me why
- 19:52Speaker 1: the up is on Eastern Time while the rest of
- 19:55Speaker 1: the state of Michigan is on Eastern Time. And I
- 19:57Speaker 1: got to do my dang math to be able to
- 19:59Speaker 1: figure out when.
- 20:00Speaker 3: We're supposed to be there. Almost was late.
- 20:02Speaker 1: It's a week away. I was struggling with that kind
- 20:05Speaker 1: of As we've.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Said before, the UP should be the traveling trophy in
- 20:09Speaker 2: the Packers Lions series.
- 20:10Speaker 3: We play for the rights to the UP every year
- 20:12Speaker 3: and they just put it on a big on a
- 20:15Speaker 3: big plaqueage for this year.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Yes, you plant the flag really great. Now we're going
- 20:21Speaker 2: all right? Eight seven seven seven three. Brewers did lose
- 20:24Speaker 2: last night, ugly start by Dustin May bullpen held, they
- 20:27Speaker 2: chipped away, fell short. But there was one interesting aspect
- 20:30Speaker 2: of last night's game and we're going to discuss it
- 20:33Speaker 2: as it relates to the Brewers postseason projections and hopes
- 20:37Speaker 2: and dreams.
- 20:39Speaker 3: We will do that.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Be ready for hardcore fuck and we'll have Hunters recap
- 20:45Speaker 2: of the proceedings last night, and we'll talk to Hunter
- 20:47Speaker 2: today at seven twenty five. You're in the huddle Fox
- 20:50Speaker 2: Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew Billion arm and bringing it to
- 20:55Speaker 2: you the Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine to one,
- 20:57Speaker 2: Milwaukee ten seventy Madison everywhere in the iHeart app, streaming line,
- 21:00Speaker 2: Facebook x and YouTube for all of our five o'clock
- 21:02Speaker 2: club members starting to wake up a little bit, caffeine
- 21:07Speaker 2: starting to take effect.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Hey really does start figuring, almost as a tidal wave
- 21:14Speaker 1: takes a surfer from the deep water all the way
- 21:17Speaker 1: through and right as the beat drops. It does feel
- 21:19Speaker 1: like every single break, the caffeine gets a little.
- 21:22Speaker 3: Bit further and further and further, and then all of
- 21:24Speaker 3: a sudden it's able to send you right into the
- 21:27Speaker 3: second clock and run. I was hoping that we were
- 21:33Speaker 3: getting there close. I was running out of different parts
- 21:35Speaker 3: and things to.
- 21:37Speaker 4: The kids want the beat to drop so they can
- 21:38Speaker 4: buy twenty eight dollar Mayka red bulls. Let's go absolutely, Yeah,
- 21:43Speaker 4: my friends, I got a table over here.
- 21:45Speaker 3: We're good. Left.
- 21:48Speaker 4: No, these guys here, all the white collar shirts hanging out.
- 21:53Speaker 4: You think they're prop of my collar. Depends on the era,
- 21:56Speaker 4: depends on that. Maybe they are these days.
- 21:58Speaker 3: I don't know. I hope they are.
- 22:00Speaker 2: Brewers lose seven to five last night, they're down seven
- 22:02Speaker 2: runs after the two winnings.
- 22:04Speaker 3: Baseball guys got us.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Back Dustin may Yeah, maybe uh, an element of that,
- 22:09Speaker 2: But it was one of those things where the brus
- 22:11Speaker 2: will follow this formula before they've down early bullpen holds
- 22:14Speaker 2: where it is they chip away the woodpecker thing. They
- 22:17Speaker 2: packed us, they packed us well, and when the brus
- 22:20Speaker 2: were down, they came back. Joey Ortiz scraped through mister
- 22:24Speaker 2: rb I amazing. This guy's four RBI for joy fighting
- 22:29Speaker 2: most of the offense all right, but then undercurrentel so
- 22:34Speaker 2: it's Dustin May.
- 22:35Speaker 3: Give him a mulligan.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Not a great start, didn't have great control just the
- 22:38Speaker 2: first inning even like there's just something felt off maybe
- 22:40Speaker 2: yea twenty a hangover from scoring twenty two runs.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Well, and you know, Dustin May has been somewhat susceptible
- 22:45Speaker 1: to that this year when he's when he's blown up.
- 22:47Speaker 1: It's been in that kind of fashion right where it's
- 22:50Speaker 1: a very very short start, you can't control seemingly anything
- 22:53Speaker 1: anybody before you realize what happened, Like Terang had that
- 22:57Speaker 1: spinning play that he usually makes. Yep, it didn't. It
- 22:59Speaker 1: didn't go there, and he made them walk back in.
- 23:01Speaker 1: You're like, wait a second, it's two nothing already.
- 23:03Speaker 5: Ye.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:03Speaker 4: He made the point that a lot of the contact
- 23:05Speaker 4: wasn't necessarily hard.
- 23:06Speaker 3: It wasn't wasn't it was there was it was solid
- 23:09Speaker 3: hits and.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Death by paper cuts and bats, kind of bloopers and stuff, but.
- 23:12Speaker 3: A lot of Bruers type stuff to be yeah, Brewers.
- 23:15Speaker 2: So, but the bigger question is as the Bruers were
- 23:18Speaker 2: chipping away and had chances, there were a couple of
- 23:20Speaker 2: circumstances where Cooper Pratt came up with a chance to
- 23:24Speaker 2: do some damage and Luis Lara came up with a
- 23:27Speaker 2: chance to do some damage. He Lara had the three
- 23:30Speaker 2: pitch strikeout.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Which looked about as disappointing as a three pitch strikeout,
- 23:36Speaker 1: like it's it sounds bad and it looked.
- 23:38Speaker 3: Bad in that, but that's bad.
- 23:40Speaker 2: But then Pratt had a Pratt's circumstances where where he
- 23:45Speaker 2: was in a hitter's count and miss pitches and was
- 23:48Speaker 2: a bummer.
- 23:48Speaker 3: Yeah, so whereas that the reason they lost?
- 23:52Speaker 4: No?
- 23:52Speaker 2: Could it have you know, changed the game? Sure, those
- 23:54Speaker 2: those moments. Every game is full of moments like that.
- 23:56Speaker 2: We talked about the butterfly fact. But the greater question
- 23:59Speaker 2: is you're counting on rookies to play big roles, and
- 24:03Speaker 2: as you project and start to think about the playoffs,
- 24:06Speaker 2: can you count on Cooper Pratt and Luis Laart to
- 24:08Speaker 2: not do what they did last night. They've been hot,
- 24:10Speaker 2: they've been great for the most part, but in big moments,
- 24:13Speaker 2: you don't know how anybody's gonna play really in the
- 24:15Speaker 2: playoffs unless they have some kind of track record. And
- 24:18Speaker 2: even then, as we talked about in the past, the
- 24:20Speaker 2: Dodgers a couple of years ago, it got swept because
- 24:22Speaker 2: Bets and Freeman disappeared and it was never dark, So
- 24:26Speaker 2: you don't know.
- 24:27Speaker 3: But going in, is that plan flawed?
- 24:29Speaker 2: And will people say, oh, what were they counting a
- 24:31Speaker 2: rookie sort And I went back and I looked in
- 24:32Speaker 2: Bryce Terenk's first year of being a regular guy. His
- 24:35Speaker 2: rookie year was twenty three, the year they played the Diamondbacks. Okay,
- 24:39Speaker 2: run up and got run out, and he was like
- 24:42Speaker 2: sharing time with Owen Miller and Monasterio and he like
- 24:44Speaker 2: played two games and was in the series and didn't really.
- 24:47Speaker 1: Have didn't really factor in mind, it wasn't a factor
- 24:50Speaker 1: at all. No, But then dom Our buddy dom Caatronio.
- 24:55Speaker 1: He helms the official brewers the network post game show
- 24:58Speaker 1: or whatever on BRWIS Radio networking the flagship, and he
- 25:03Speaker 1: was getting a lot of He does stats for BA
- 25:04Speaker 1: and Lev he's an all around good dude friend of
- 25:07Speaker 1: the program. Yes, a lot of the They were in
- 25:10Speaker 1: the spotlight last night and he said, let me remind
- 25:12Speaker 1: you Jackson Curio's first two months in the show with
- 25:15Speaker 1: runners in scoring position, he was four for forty. That's
- 25:17Speaker 1: one hundred batting average, sixteen strikeouts, four walks and seven
- 25:20Speaker 1: RBI and forty chances with runners in scoring positions. Success
- 25:24Speaker 1: doesn't come overnight for rookies, is Dom's conclusion, And I'm like, yeah,
- 25:28Speaker 1: so is the premise flaw.
- 25:30Speaker 3: They got caught with their rookie showing in some key.
- 25:31Speaker 2: Moments, and that's gonna happen, but they've come through in
- 25:34Speaker 2: big moments.
- 25:35Speaker 3: How confident are you about the whole operation?
- 25:37Speaker 2: Does that make you think, well, maybe when Freelick comes back,
- 25:40Speaker 2: he'll be in there.
- 25:40Speaker 3: Would he have been better? Maybe not?
- 25:42Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe maybe not, But in that exact moment, Drew
- 25:47Speaker 1: and the game is built off of just situations and
- 25:50Speaker 1: circumstances that moment, I feel extremely confident in a sal
- 25:54Speaker 1: Freelick base hit, or being able to poke something through
- 25:57Speaker 1: to the right side and find a small little gap
- 26:00Speaker 1: like Laura kind of did later on in the game.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Right a little bit of a chopper that just finds
- 26:04Speaker 1: a nook in the defense and you're able to extend
- 26:07Speaker 1: the inning.
- 26:08Speaker 3: The two zero counts in the eighth.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Inning, it did feel like you were going to call
- 26:12Speaker 1: back to the sixth inning every single time. And then
- 26:14Speaker 1: in the seventh and eighth he gave yourself a lot
- 26:16Speaker 1: of opportunities as well. Like they were around, they had
- 26:20Speaker 1: plenty of chances. It's a frustrating one to see them
- 26:23Speaker 1: not be able to come through. When you look at
- 26:25Speaker 1: the rookies in and of themselves, I think Freelick is
- 26:28Speaker 1: absolutely a part of it, just because of the DNA
- 26:31Speaker 1: that he's shown. That's fair, yes, that being said in
- 26:35Speaker 1: the batter's box, in one of those moments, I expect
- 26:38Speaker 1: Luis Laara to put up a legitate bat. Cooper Pratt
- 26:41Speaker 1: not as much. And I'm trying to also think back
- 26:44Speaker 1: to like twenty eighteen, Orlando Arcia was one of their
- 26:49Speaker 1: best offensive players in the playoffs and he was consistently
- 26:54Speaker 1: down to the bottom of the order. Feels very much,
- 26:55Speaker 1: hopefully like what Joey Ortiz potentially is providing you throughout
- 26:59Speaker 1: this one. It's one of the reasons why you hit
- 27:02Speaker 1: the nail on the head last week of It was
- 27:04Speaker 1: disappointing to not have Pratt around and available to go
- 27:08Speaker 1: on the West Coast string get forty thousand in San Diego,
- 27:12Speaker 1: forty thousand in LA. The juice of those games, those
- 27:15Speaker 1: were playoff like games in a legit atmosphere that is
- 27:19Speaker 1: tough that you can't manufacture that now he's seen everything
- 27:22Speaker 1: that there is to play at home. These Cubs series
- 27:24Speaker 1: in Cubs games are gonna be a big telltale of it.
- 27:27Speaker 1: The tough thing is, Drew, I don't know where else
- 27:29Speaker 1: you necessarily would turn other than the law firm of
- 27:32Speaker 1: Hamilton and Nortiz, and I kind of think that's almost
- 27:36Speaker 1: where Murf is gonna lean, right, Like, as much as
- 27:39Speaker 1: you want to be a development guy and you want
- 27:41Speaker 1: to be able to get these guys a lot of
- 27:43Speaker 1: opportunities and if they're on the team, they're gonna play.
- 27:46Speaker 1: I would be surprised if you don't see more of
- 27:49Speaker 1: the horses that he felt like got him there, and
- 27:52Speaker 1: those being the Ortiz and Hamilton Once this thing turns
- 27:54Speaker 1: to October, Yeah.
- 27:55Speaker 3: There's nuance here. There's no question.
- 27:57Speaker 4: I think it does depend on the guy a little
- 27:58Speaker 4: bit because there are certain guys you never worried about
- 28:01Speaker 4: their confidence, Like I never worried about Brian Bron's confidence
- 28:03Speaker 4: in Oh wait, even though he was a young guy.
- 28:05Speaker 4: He always had confidence in big moments. But but there
- 28:08Speaker 4: are but there are instances of both that veterans come
- 28:11Speaker 4: through sometimes don't. But it would have been nice to
- 28:13Speaker 4: have those guys get the experience in the room.
- 28:16Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
- 28:16Speaker 2: I was in the press box when Andrew Jones was
- 28:19Speaker 2: a star in the World Series. You can be a
- 28:21Speaker 2: young team, you can be young, you can do it,
- 28:23Speaker 2: and some guys do. And didn't have any problem with
- 28:25Speaker 2: miss last year. They were kind of protecting him and
- 28:27Speaker 2: he was blowing doors.
- 28:28Speaker 1: Yeah, and and they they saddled him up in Game
- 28:31Speaker 1: five of a winner take all game, and he was
- 28:33Speaker 1: gonna either be the horse that rode him to the
- 28:36Speaker 1: NLCS or the one that You went into the offseason
- 28:39Speaker 1: saying you had to get the experience right. And that's
- 28:41Speaker 1: the toughest part about the development part. And you mentioned
- 28:44Speaker 1: Andrew Jones. It's why I thought if the free if
- 28:47Speaker 1: the terang thing was long term and he was gonna
- 28:50Speaker 1: be out for the remainder of the season, Sure you
- 28:53Speaker 1: could go here with Johnny Rockets at second base, but
- 28:55Speaker 1: I think you already know what that is. Yeah, then
- 28:57Speaker 1: you go for the big time lottery ticket and you
- 29:00Speaker 1: see if if Modde could do it, because we've at
- 29:03Speaker 1: least seen you give the special opportunity for somebody that
- 29:06Speaker 1: just might be that kind of a player.
- 29:07Speaker 2: I think Pratt and Laura are going to be great,
- 29:09Speaker 2: but right now and then, of course, the backdrop and
- 29:13Speaker 2: timing being what it is in Norfolk last night, so
- 29:16Speaker 2: Free hit a lead off homer and had an RBI
- 29:18Speaker 2: single and it's like he's looking like he's what more
- 29:21Speaker 2: does he have to prove a triple A? After you know,
- 29:23Speaker 2: a night like that, it's like, well, okay, then you
- 29:25Speaker 2: bring it back. What does it look like? What does
- 29:28Speaker 2: the outfield look like? You're playing him right away to
- 29:30Speaker 2: get him rolling, you continue to play Lara, do you
- 29:32Speaker 2: play him both? And it just like, what does it
- 29:35Speaker 2: look like if you're facing the Dodgers or the Cubs
- 29:39Speaker 2: in a deciding game, Who's who's jogging out there? Who's
- 29:44Speaker 2: jogging out there?
- 29:44Speaker 3: To start?
- 29:45Speaker 4: Well?
- 29:45Speaker 1: And uh, there was a top point in time when
- 29:47Speaker 1: everyone would just lock in Garrett Mitchell as one of
- 29:50Speaker 1: those guys. Now, he's obviously been the mayor of Slump
- 29:53Speaker 1: City for the month of August, and it's a crowded city,
- 29:56Speaker 1: though very much so population yell Contrarius twelve players Orte's
- 30:04Speaker 1: is sitting out on the lawn chair being like, you guys,
- 30:06Speaker 1: enjoy the rooms in there.
- 30:07Speaker 3: That's the thing.
- 30:07Speaker 1: You've got plenty of vets that are struggling, that's the thing.
- 30:10Speaker 1: And then so vets aren't immuneto it either. It's hard
- 30:12Speaker 1: to predict what anybody's gonna do.
- 30:13Speaker 3: But do you feel.
- 30:15Speaker 2: More I guess, like blame or like, well, we put
- 30:18Speaker 2: the rookie in that position and he didn't come through.
- 30:20Speaker 3: We were counting on a rookie. Is that flood? I mean,
- 30:22Speaker 3: we just saw the mechanism.
- 30:24Speaker 2: We saw the Packers, you know, kind of like we're
- 30:26Speaker 2: blaming the part of the last three years of playoff
- 30:28Speaker 2: failure on being the youngest.
- 30:29Speaker 3: Team of the leaguest in football.
- 30:31Speaker 1: But you boasted that right like and when it would
- 30:34Speaker 1: come up, you dump your CHESTU. We're the youngest team
- 30:36Speaker 1: in football and we're developing, and I think the Brewers
- 30:38Speaker 1: prefer to let everybody know we give the young players
- 30:41Speaker 1: the opportunity. We give you everybody the runway, We give
- 30:44Speaker 1: everybody the leash. H Garrett Mitchell two years ago in
- 30:47Speaker 1: the Mets series, he.
- 30:50Speaker 3: Kind of was the everyday guy, right or was that more.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Of a pin shit opportunity when he comes up in
- 30:55Speaker 1: Game two and lights the world on fire with the
- 30:58Speaker 1: two run shots to put them up Jackson. Churio was
- 31:00Speaker 1: obviously phenomenal in the playoffs and and that's also he
- 31:04Speaker 1: will break the curve for all of the other rookies
- 31:07Speaker 1: because Churio walked in was like the best postseason player
- 31:10Speaker 1: I think we've seen.
- 31:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he was right there.
- 31:12Speaker 1: Even the Cup series last year when he's got the
- 31:14Speaker 1: hamstring issue and he's pulling it every time he's running
- 31:18Speaker 1: up to first base. He had like four hits in
- 31:20Speaker 1: a three run shot and too like so he was
- 31:22Speaker 1: so good that I think you do believe that everyone
- 31:25Speaker 1: will just be able to play it that way. But
- 31:28Speaker 1: I bring up Mitchell now he's got the sore foot.
- 31:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 31:31Speaker 1: The other thing is Drew we're five and a half,
- 31:33Speaker 1: six weeks away from from the playoffs. I think it's
- 31:37Speaker 1: a spin the wheel and let me know who's there. Like,
- 31:40Speaker 1: especially the last month they have had such a top
- 31:43Speaker 1: Sea Turby run with injuries, right, I can't trust that
- 31:46Speaker 1: any of these guys are getting all the way home.
- 31:48Speaker 1: You sure hope that you are getting healthier at the
- 31:50Speaker 1: end of the year. We already know that's just not
- 31:51Speaker 1: how baseball works, and especially for this team in this year,
- 31:54Speaker 1: they are con perpetually dinged, and it feels like somebody
- 31:58Speaker 1: by the time we get to October is not going
- 32:01Speaker 1: to be a part of it, just because they're out
- 32:03Speaker 1: for four to.
- 32:03Speaker 3: Say, yeah, it was six weeks ago.
- 32:04Speaker 4: You just have no idea what the team So that's
- 32:06Speaker 4: why I think in the end, you know, we can
- 32:08Speaker 4: find examples both ways, but you just have to stick
- 32:11Speaker 4: with who you think is the healthiest and playing the
- 32:13Speaker 4: best in that position at that time.
- 32:14Speaker 3: Because young guys have come through, vets have come through.
- 32:17Speaker 4: I mean it also, you know it felt good to
- 32:19Speaker 4: have like Jerry Harrison and Curtis Granderson and those guys
- 32:21Speaker 4: too during that time for steady moments, but you also
- 32:25Speaker 4: knew you're gonna need your best guys to play well.
- 32:27Speaker 4: So I think in the end you just have to
- 32:28Speaker 4: roll with who you think your best guys are, your
- 32:31Speaker 4: most talented the ones playing the best. End to your point,
- 32:33Speaker 4: Billy the healthiest, because you know, the youth thing can
- 32:36Speaker 4: be an experience thing, can be an important thing, but
- 32:39Speaker 4: it can also be an excuse to why you didn't
- 32:41Speaker 4: play well. I mean, I could think all day, like,
- 32:44Speaker 4: if Devin Williams didn't knock his hand into the wall
- 32:46Speaker 4: and play the year before, what do you have given
- 32:48Speaker 4: up to save the year after?
- 32:49Speaker 3: I really have no idea.
- 32:50Speaker 4: You might be able to tell yourself, well, that experience
- 32:52Speaker 4: would have helped him, but it might not have helped
- 32:54Speaker 4: him make a better pitch in that situation, or not
- 32:55Speaker 4: tip or whatever you want to say. Sometimes you just
- 32:58Speaker 4: got to roll with the guys you have and hope
- 33:00Speaker 4: for the best. Guyardo had great games, okay in the
- 33:03Speaker 4: playoffs in oh wait, you know, and or down the
- 33:06Speaker 4: stretch closed to wait when when he came off that injury,
- 33:09Speaker 4: and then again at eleven.
- 33:11Speaker 3: You know, really good players have had slumps in the playoffs.
- 33:14Speaker 4: We talk about yelling. Sometimes you just don't know. So
- 33:17Speaker 4: I think rolled your best and you're healthiest at that time.
- 33:20Speaker 3: That's what.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Uh well, that's the question. Who are their best? You
- 33:23Speaker 1: know that, I mean, and one of the leaders of
- 33:27Speaker 1: the Sal Freelick hate club. I wonder if he believes
- 33:29Speaker 1: that salth Freelick would ever get himself into that conversation.
- 33:33Speaker 3: Well, Sal's hitting better.
- 33:34Speaker 4: At the in the middle of September than Garrett is.
- 33:37Speaker 4: I think you have to think of it. He had
- 33:39Speaker 4: a big homer in the playoffs in Game three. Jake
- 33:41Speaker 4: Bowers has to play in the playoffs. That that that's
- 33:44Speaker 4: one guy.
- 33:44Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think Jake power is gonna be pretty much.
- 33:47Speaker 4: But so there are some guys, you know, like all right,
- 33:50Speaker 4: like Andrew Bomb might not get at bad because I
- 33:53Speaker 4: can't sit Jake Bowers because of what he's done this
- 33:56Speaker 4: year and what he's done the playoffs last year. So
- 33:58Speaker 4: I guess there's a little experience bias heaping into my mind.
- 34:01Speaker 3: But that's the reality of it.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Well, and you know Lockridges all gets optioned back down
- 34:05Speaker 1: at some point. You know, Mur's gonna want to get
- 34:07Speaker 1: lockerage back probably. You know he's gonna Wane Breckinridge.
- 34:10Speaker 2: Around, gonna go on a heater in Triple A and
- 34:12Speaker 2: then they'll bring him back, bring him back.
- 34:14Speaker 3: Come on.
- 34:14Speaker 2: It's just the thought I had last night, because are
- 34:16Speaker 2: you comfortable with that? And are you ready, because you know,
- 34:19Speaker 2: rookies can sink or swim. Sometimes they'll surprise you. Sometimes
- 34:22Speaker 2: you'll you'll say, oh, if we only we'd had a
- 34:23Speaker 2: more experienced player there. And this is where the people
- 34:26Speaker 2: the Greek chorus will say they should have gone and
- 34:28Speaker 2: gotten a bat at the deadline, and they didn't do it.
- 34:30Speaker 3: Well, there were no bats really out.
- 34:31Speaker 2: That was the toughest thing it was, and you got
- 34:34Speaker 2: you went for the best players school the ten teams
- 34:36Speaker 2: hovering around three below five hundred in the American League
- 34:39Speaker 2: that think they're in it when they were legitimately are
- 34:41Speaker 2: and they didn't want to deal.
- 34:42Speaker 3: So it was like, well it wasn't it wasn't.
- 34:44Speaker 1: A robust Why we need the old August thirty first trade,
- 34:48Speaker 1: then yeah, that would be sweet. That The other part
- 34:51Speaker 1: about the waiver one is they were almost always good
- 34:54Speaker 1: players well, and that like legit contract, legit dudes moving
- 34:58Speaker 1: teams late.
- 34:59Speaker 2: There was the asidural thing where like everybody in baseball
- 35:02Speaker 2: after the July thirty first deadline would go through through
- 35:04Speaker 2: would go through waivers. And then obviously you wouldn't put
- 35:07Speaker 2: in acclaim on Jackson Churio because you know the Brewers
- 35:10Speaker 2: were pulling back, so it was like folly, but they
- 35:12Speaker 2: had to do it procedurally, but throw them all through
- 35:14Speaker 2: and yeah, wild.
- 35:16Speaker 3: That was one of my favorite things.
- 35:17Speaker 1: I remember Alex Rios getting moved at the death at
- 35:19Speaker 1: the waiver trade deadline, somebody picked up the contract.
- 35:22Speaker 3: They're like, oh my god, it picked up.
- 35:23Speaker 1: Three years and sixty million dollars White Sox Wake, thank
- 35:26Speaker 1: you very much. Yeah, thank you, thank you, appreciate you,
- 35:29Speaker 1: thank you very much.
- 35:30Speaker 3: But you could get good players to your point. That's
- 35:32Speaker 3: three get real names, no doubt about it.
- 35:34Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll hear Hunter Bombguard's recap of
- 35:38Speaker 2: the proceedings. Last night, Brus lose seven five. They'll try
- 35:40Speaker 2: to win the series this afternoon. The rubber match starts

- 36:16Speaker 1: place to be able to hang out and just converse
- 36:18Speaker 1: in Arman always talks about having a communal experience. Yeah,
- 36:21Speaker 1: that's a good thing to be able to find, right,
- 36:23Speaker 1: and this ever changing landscape and world we're in.
- 36:26Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. H our Man.
- 36:28Speaker 2: Hunter Bombguard boots on the ground at American Family Field
- 36:32Speaker 2: last evening as the Birds lost seven to five, and
- 36:34Speaker 2: he will be joining us live today at seven twenty
- 36:37Speaker 2: five ish. But let's take a listen to Hunter's recap
- 36:41Speaker 2: of last night's proceedings. Take it away, young man.
- 36:45Speaker 3: Thanks guys.
- 36:46Speaker 6: Brewers fall last night seven to five of the Seattle Mariners.
- 36:48Speaker 6: Dustin May unfortunately with a rough couple of innings on
- 36:52Speaker 6: the mound in his first two starts at a bruise
- 36:54Speaker 6: uniform thirteen innings, three earned runs total, but then he
- 36:56Speaker 6: gave up seven earn runs in two innings last night
- 36:59Speaker 6: in his start. He assessed the start after the game.
- 37:02Speaker 3: There was a lot of stuff that I could have
- 37:03Speaker 3: executed better.
- 37:05Speaker 5: But this is one of those outings where like, you
- 37:07Speaker 5: can't be super frustrated with yourself just because you didn't
- 37:11Speaker 5: really give up any hard contact on stuff, so like
- 37:13Speaker 5: you were still beating guys, but they're just putting.
- 37:15Speaker 3: It where we mark time now.
- 37:16Speaker 6: After he exited the bullpen through seven shutout innings and
- 37:20Speaker 6: kept the Brewers in it, and they kept fighting and
- 37:23Speaker 6: clawing back. Joey Ortiz with four runs driven in, including
- 37:26Speaker 6: a two run home run. The guy's hitting three sixty
- 37:28Speaker 6: four in August.
- 37:29Speaker 3: He cannot be stopped.
- 37:31Speaker 6: But unfortunately Luis, Laura and Cooper Pratt up in big moments,
- 37:34Speaker 6: couldn't quite come through. All a learning experience for them.
- 37:38Speaker 6: BIRS manager Pat Murphy talked about the youthful at bats
- 37:41Speaker 6: by those two in those situations.
- 37:44Speaker 5: He's a young player, you know, just like Laura and
- 37:47Speaker 5: the bases loaded situation. You know, it's it's really unfortunate.
- 37:53Speaker 5: He let the pitch before that might have been a ball.
- 37:55Speaker 5: We were out of challenges. Another tough thing he pitched
- 37:58Speaker 5: before that might have been a ball, don't know, but
- 38:01Speaker 5: he let that really bother him. Then we went to
- 38:03Speaker 5: the next pitch and he wasn't his focus check Swain,
- 38:07Speaker 5: you know, again, that's a youthful mistake. He came back
- 38:09Speaker 5: the next time and had a great at bat. So
- 38:12Speaker 5: Pratt's last two at bats just left his own and
- 38:15Speaker 5: left his own.
- 38:16Speaker 6: Also last night, unfortunately, Jake Bauers did not get on base,
- 38:18Speaker 6: so his twenty game on base streak comes to an end.
- 38:21Speaker 6: But the Brewers, we'll go for the series win today
- 38:23Speaker 6: one to ten. First pitch on the mound for the Brewers,
- 38:25Speaker 6: Robert Gasser. Also, Garrett Mitchell was out last night with
- 38:28Speaker 6: a sore foot. They're going to reassess today to see
- 38:30Speaker 6: if he can go in the series finale. This report
- 38:33Speaker 6: brought to you by Import Minded, your trusted choice for
- 38:35Speaker 6: exceptional vehicle care, on Sound twenty seventh, just north of
- 38:37Speaker 6: eight ninety four. I'll join you guys at seven twenty
- 38:39Speaker 6: five to talk more about the crew.
- 38:41Speaker 3: Back to you guys, thank you. Hunter looked forward to
- 38:44Speaker 3: catching up with you in a couple hours.
- 38:46Speaker 1: And for Dustin may Drew a cat that has definitely
- 38:52Speaker 1: and obviously great stuff, maybe gets away from at times.
- 38:56Speaker 1: You could tell though last night he was about as
- 39:00Speaker 1: confounded on the mound as he was there. He's still
- 39:03Speaker 1: trying to grab uh grass his mind as to how
- 39:06Speaker 1: did that happen, and how did all those little bleeders
- 39:08Speaker 1: find their way through? And how did the Mariners get
- 39:10Speaker 1: all the Josh Naylor like hits like the last one
- 39:13Speaker 1: that he had, which was the softest looping fly ball
- 39:17Speaker 1: that you're gonna find. It felt like they had seven
- 39:19Speaker 1: of those last night, as they cashed in almost all
- 39:21Speaker 1: of them right away. That's pretty good Naylor hits.
- 39:25Speaker 3: Josh Naylor is an interesting cat.
- 39:27Speaker 1: It sounds like Josh Naylor is not the most beloved
- 39:29Speaker 1: guy in the places that he's gone. John Boy had
- 39:32Speaker 1: a phenomenal one of him with some Cleveland Guardians players
- 39:35Speaker 1: of the one Catcher being like, Bro, no one even
- 39:37Speaker 1: likes you.
- 39:38Speaker 3: I find this, no one even likes this. I gotta
- 39:40Speaker 3: build some anger toward them today. Yeah I can. I
- 39:43Speaker 3: can help you out. It's a good one. It's a
- 39:44Speaker 3: good one.
- 39:45Speaker 4: But we do it.
- 39:45Speaker 3: We do like his brother Bo like we like his
- 39:48Speaker 3: brother both. He can.
- 39:50Speaker 1: He's one of the only good Canadians. So you can,
- 39:52Speaker 1: you Canadian? How do I not like the I'm a
- 39:58Speaker 1: big bow guy. Also, the the one reason why Josh
- 40:01Speaker 1: Naylor is an interesting cat. He's one of the fluffier
- 40:03Speaker 1: guys in Major League Baseball. But he's also like top
- 40:06Speaker 1: five in the American League and steals.
- 40:08Speaker 3: So he's like, he's got good athleticism for a big guy.
- 40:11Speaker 3: I liked it.
- 40:11Speaker 1: Also very deceptive right lakesfielder, he gets over to first base,
- 40:16Speaker 1: You're like, okay, he's boy is definitely not running.
- 40:18Speaker 3: He's listed at five ten five, he's.
- 40:23Speaker 4: A biscuit shy at two sixty from what it looks
- 40:26Speaker 4: like little fodder guys for thought as we head to
- 40:28Speaker 4: the next hour into the break here, Dustin May's obviously
- 40:31Speaker 4: been really good for the Brewers. You know, last night
- 40:33Speaker 4: was his first dud, but he does pitch to a
- 40:35Speaker 4: lot of contact, high whip, always has been there. Does
- 40:38Speaker 4: that concern you come playoff time and get all those
- 40:40Speaker 4: guys on base?
- 40:40Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 40:41Speaker 1: In the back of your mind, you know it is
- 40:44Speaker 1: well in him, and it's it's kind of saying that
- 40:48Speaker 1: after his first two starts, does it feel like him
- 40:50Speaker 1: and Harrison for the last spot though, if you if
- 40:52Speaker 1: you shrink it down to three, maybe because it's kind
- 40:54Speaker 1: of those those two, because it feels like Logan Henderson's
- 40:57Speaker 1: gonna be a hard one to pull out.
- 40:58Speaker 3: Piggybacking do some piggybacking more. We'll give it three weeks,
- 41:01Speaker 3: and we'll see how much we like any of you.
- 41:03Speaker 2: Exactly exactly, all right, first hours in the books. Let's
- 41:07Speaker 2: welcome the six o'clock clubbers. Be nice, five o'clockers plenty.
- 41:10Speaker 2: Are room on our train. You're in the huddle. Fox
