• 0:00
  Speaker 1: 20 minutes-ish.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Cannot wait.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Got Metallica tickets to give away. June 12th, Camp Randall.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Going to be a rockin' night. That's a Hall of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Fame act that you got to go see if you can.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: And then Hunter Baumgart talking Brewers. Brewers play the Phillies
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: this evening. It's appropriate that the Brewers play the Phillies.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Because if they just win, they wrap up. It's a buy,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and the Phillies are still charging.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Lock up the buy, and then, Drew, the way the
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: games play out here tonight, timing-wise, you can just take
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: care of your own business, take care of your own house.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Because I imagine with the 540 start, you'll be done
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: far before Reds and Braves.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: So even if.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Uh, my boy coming in here at four and four,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Brandon Williamson goes and locks down the Braves and the
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Reds give you a win. And that would have locked
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: up the buy anyway, your game will be long gone.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: So you can celebrate yourself.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: So magic number for a buy is one magic number
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: for the number one seed is four and a really fascinating,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: fascinating one later, uh, tonight.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Padres and Dodgers start up their three-game series, their last
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: one of the season. Padres in the wild card right now,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: squared with the Cubs.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Cubs have the tiebreaker.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: So Padres got to best them to host their three-game series.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: And then the Phillies just one game back of the
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Padres and Cubs. Phillies don't, you can't imagine they want
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: to play the Braves.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't think. You can't think they want to play
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the Braves.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: So they're going to be duking it out the last
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: week to see. And the Brewers are kind of right
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: here in the middle. Interested to see if they... finagle
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: their roster and their play any which way. I heard
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Jeff Levering talking about it when they clinched. He's like,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: you know, the Brewers might be able to help manipulate
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: who they play. I don't know that that's a world
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I really want to traffic in, Drew.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Me either. Trying to play my way into a matchup.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Anger the sports gods. You have to say, we're going
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to win 100 games and champions fear no one. Bring it, whoever.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: We got to play them. They're on the schedule. Let's go.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's in-game and it's in-season like that, I
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: don't want to manipulate. Now, if you wanted to mess
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: around and as I'm looking up all the timelines of
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: the NLDS, CS, and World Series games, if you wanted
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: to do it like some people have queued up of,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: the number one seed gets to pick their opponent on
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: a television special, then I'm okay for it. If you
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: start messing around playing games trying to get there, it
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: ain't going to work out for you. So just go
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: out there and play. Yeah, and especially this year, the NL, man,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: because who wants to play anybody? There's just so many good,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: talented teams. Listen, look at the Padres, how hot they've been.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, they are scorching hot right now. They won
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: five in a row again. They were scorching hot when
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: the Brewers visited. They were scorching hot when the Brewers visited.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know what they are. I mean, it was
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: like 9-10 or whatever they are. They're going crazy. So
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: who wants to play them? Who wants to play anybody
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: right now? And that's what I'm saying is the NL.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Is so strong. If the Brewers win, yeah. It makes
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: no sense to try.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It even because it's going to be tough. You might
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: go to the World Series and face the Yankees at
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: full strength.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: So it'll be tough either way. And so if you
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: accomplish it out of the NL, it's supposed to be,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and that's what it's going to be this year. It's
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: supposed to be. You have to be good all the time.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: What's the word on judge?
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: He went back on the IL, and now he's, like,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: maybe going to be able to go. Yankees and Rays
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: also start up a series here today.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Now, that division is all locked up. Yeah, celebrate, right?
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I think it's one game on the magic number for.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: That, unless you completely shut the box. But otherwise, the Yankees'
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: fate is pretty well set. They're going to host that
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: series against the Red Sox, same place they were last year.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: And if you think Brewers-Cubs is something that gives you
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: consternation and constipation to think of... Can you imagine what
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yankees Red Sox does knowing that that's only a three-game
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: series instead of a five-gamer? Oh, my man Wayne Larrabee
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: is already gearing up mentally, I think, for that one.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Emotionally and mentally for that one. Because it will be, obviously,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: any Yankees Red Sox postseason battle, as we've known from
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the early 2000s, is going to be absolutely crazy. And
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: this one's no exception. The AL East is going to
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: dominate the AL playoffs. There's no question about that. By
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: the way, you asked about Judge Quickbilly. He did enter
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: the 10-day... il on saturday his quote was quote i'd
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: like to be back by the postseason that's definitely the
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: plan the 10-day il so the 10th day is probably
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: the last game of the season so we'll see i've
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: got no answers for you on any timeline or anything
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: like that oh okay no thanks yeah i'm sure you'd
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: like to have some answers are the red sox one
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: of the best stories in sports this year yeah gotta
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: be from 10 and 17 to the playoffs how did
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: it happen i mean they they are i think for
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: sure caleb durbin's in the center of that you know
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: he really is He's represented the kind of emotional resurgence
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: the team has had.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Beloved now. Started out hated and now beloved. And they've
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: lost 7 of 11, right?
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: So it's one of those tough deals where the baseball
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: season is going to happen as it happens.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: There's going to be the ebbs and flows.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: But now, just like I think Drew in the first
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: two weeks of the season, now you get to overreact
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: even more to how the recent play is. Yep. It
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily much matter when they play those three games.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Are you closed out the year? But it'll be one that.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: The fan base looks at even more as, well, you're
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: just rolling in. Your weights are slow. All the socks.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: This being a buy or sell Tuesday, you can hit
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: us with your propositions. Prop Joe.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, back here among the Tyrant Strip Club ads, the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Tigers played a game last night. River Ryan pitched. His
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Tigers debut. The key guy in the Scooble train. First
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: major league appearance since 2024. Three innings, two hits, one walk,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: three strikeouts. And he hit 98 miles an hour.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. His debut.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Buying or selling that, we're going to look back and
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: say it's a good thing the Brewers didn't get Scooble
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and that they hung on to Logan Henderson. I'm going
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to buy it just because I think Logan Henderson is
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that good. I don't know that I'm, I will still struggle,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: especially once game two rolls around and Scooble's lining up
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: on the mound at American Family Field in the NLCS,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: saying that it's not a great thing that they didn't
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: get him.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: But I will when the Brewers chase him in the
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: fifth inning with like six hits and four earnings and
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: traffic on the base pads.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: So I'm still manifesting it, Drew. But I can't say
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I'm not nervous about facing 29 in the playoffs. Yeah,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: this is hard because Scooble is so talented. He's going
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: to be good, I think, in the playoffs, just the
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: way he is. And also because it's the Dodgers. I
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: think that's where you sell it. But I definitely buy
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: it in terms of I do think we consistently overrate
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: deadline acquisitions. We did it last now. Scooble's special, though. But, yeah,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: losing Logan Henderson would have been tough, too. So I'm
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: okay with where we're at. Although I know it's not
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: the right attitude for some because that attitude has not
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: gotten us a World Series. And if Scooble is that
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: difference in an LCS, to your point, Billy, yeah. I mean,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I might second guess that. But I'm going to want
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Logan Henderson.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: So I am buying it. I am buying.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to trade Logan Henderson going into it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: When I knew he was the price tag, I told
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: myself I'm going to be okay with it. So, Drew,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I've got to remind myself when the process hits that
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: moment when they're going to face off against them. it
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: might be Henderson and Scooble, which might be even better.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: That matchup might even be more appetizing. The thing is,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Scooble got to the Dodgers and he's getting better, healthier,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: and they have the luxury of like.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: You know, we're just playing for October. Just, you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: help us out here.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And just like the good stuff will start in a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: little bit, you know, but the thing is with the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: coaching the Brewers have with Hook and Henderson.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: What would they have done with Scooble and It is tantalizing.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: See, and that's the coaching part of it for both
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: sides too, right? Like that's the part that the Dodgers
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: don't get nearly enough credit for on the periphery is.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: They got a great game planning and strategy department, just
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: like the crew does, right? It's one of the reasons
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: how you are able to supplement, not only just because
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: you have great players, but they also have Andy Paz
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: turned into an all-star because of their development. They were
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: going to be able to, once they got their hands
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: on him, I imagine spruce him up even more. But
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: pitching behind Yamamoto, that's going.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: To be a hell of a run.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I can't wait and bad... to be already looking for
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: that series already?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Because you still got to win a five-gamer.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: But man, do I got my eyes peeled and glued
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: to that seven-game NLCS for.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: When LA wins it.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of us do, which is probably,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: like you said, a very fool's errand because getting through
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: the DS is going to be tough no matter who
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: you face in a five-game series. And it will be
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: an accomplishment. And I don't want to hear anyone say
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: differently if they do it, but they don't. But you're right.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Looking toward the LCS, I think everyone's got the... The
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Dodgers is the big bad wolf, the boogeyman that we
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: have to finally slay.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: And maybe that's going to be remaining the case. Hopefully
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: they do it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: The thing with Scooble is also you, because of how
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: special he's been. his standard is higher for what you
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: think you should be getting from him.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Like if you.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Look at Scooble's numbers with the game logs with the Dodgers,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: they're good, but there's only been one shutout performance. I
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: think when it comes to playoffs and trying to make
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: the world series and getting the most special guys, you need,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: you need, him to be for bad lack of a
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: better term. You need him to be the Sabathia to
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: like never give up a run. And I know that's
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: an impossible standard. And obviously everyone gives up runs literally,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: but if Scooble is just good enough, but not dominant,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: is that enough for what you think you should get
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: from him?
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Now we don't know yet what he's going to do
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: with the playoffs. He might turn it on.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: He might be super special when it comes to that,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: but it's almost like you need the best of the
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: best performances.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: If you're going to get a guy like that. Well, Yeah.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: They haven't been totally getting them. I mean, they've been
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: getting good performances. Was he supposed to be prime Cy Young?
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people expect that from a
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: guy like School. They say he's the best pitcher in baseball,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: and they want him to be that guy. And you
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: are going to trade a lot for him. You want
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: that return from him. But is that unrealistic?
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Probably. That's where I agree. I mean, it's unrealistic.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Prime side here. That's like comparing anybody to what CeCe
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: did here. It's like, oh, well, why don't you win sevens?
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Bowls like Tom Brady?
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Well, but isn't that what you are looking for when
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: you trade for a guy like that? In two of
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: his last three outings, I get his last one wasn't great.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: He gave up four runs in five innings. He went
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: seven shutout and giving up three hits in one walk.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: That was his best start since coming to the Dodgers.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Seven and a third, four hits, two runs. Two walks,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: five Ks. He's been pretty good. And he's pitching better
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: than he did in Detroit. Pretty good is not what
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: people wanted Scooble for, is my point. If we got that,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, people would be disappointed so far with
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: what he's given you. I'm just giving my... This is
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: what I think fans would say. I'm not saying they're right, but.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: It's a buy or sell Tuesday.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: 877-794-1873.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Buying or selling one of the more underrated brewers of
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the season has been Shane Drohan.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. That's for sure he has been. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: He is underrated, underregarded. People are like, oh, yeah, he's
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: on the team. He's second in innings on the team, right?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's... And way more than he had ever
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: thrown before, Drew. Like, that's where they've also... I mean,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Kyle Harrison, it's been... Exacerbated, the right word? It's been
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: highlighted even more strongly because he was so good early on.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: He kind of hit in innings.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: high for his entire career big leagues and minor leagues
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: combined and for drone throwing 120 i think that was
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: way more than they would have ever anticipated that he
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: was throwing and him going in and out of the
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: rotation i mean we'll talk about with hunter because i
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: don't know that there is a bigger fan of shane
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: drone in the bullpen than hunter bomb guard he'll be
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: one of the Does it come down to him and
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Harrison for who ends up making the playoff roster? Because,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, the way Bobby Gasser's been pitching, he's for
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: sure locked his hand.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's locking it.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: And it's going to be interesting to see who gets
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: that 13th pitching spot because it kind of feels like
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: it might come down to those two. And one's got
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: some experience pitching at least well out of the bullpen.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: And the other one, I don't know, he's gotten one
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: out coming out.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Of the bullpen. Yeah, you can't trust Harrison right now.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: He's giving up a lot of hits.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: The whip is high, but he's been a good replacement
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: plus innings eater.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: He's a strikeout and inning guy.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I think you'd avoid using him in the postseason, obviously,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: unless you have to. But I think he's an important
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: guy to have on a team like this where you've
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: had to eat.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Up innings, get through it.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: He's a representation of good depth, if that's not a
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: better term for that. I think absolutely he's been important.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I guess I can check myself here. It's been a
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: while since he's thrown this many innings, but in 2023,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: between AA and AAA, he threw 123 innings on 25 starts,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: 27 games pitched. 129 innings in 2022 from high A
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: to AA. But I mean, 120 big league innings is
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: a little bit different than what those are. And I
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: also do think the fielding independent pitching for him, some
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: of the other numbers that a lot of people like
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: to use are pretty solid. I'm fascinated to see how
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: much they use them because Henderson or Harrison obviously gets
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: the credit from that deal, but Drowan has been just
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: as good, Drew, because they needed somebody to get a
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: number of innings for the majority of this season.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: And the youth and the staff, I don't know that
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of people were planning on him being one
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: of them. You're planning on Brandon Sprook being a bigger one.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And Drowan kind of became that guy. Lance McCullers
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: being one of those guys. What is he doing right now?
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: He's going to get a ring. Heck yeah, he's going
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to get a ring.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he is.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: He's probably, what is he doing right now? Probably watching.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he's doing.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Lance McCullers Jr. is a baseball free agent. I don't
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: think anyone picked him up yet, right? I didn't hear
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: about that. I didn't know if he would go and
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: try to help the Milwaukee Milkmen finish off their championship
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: run that they were just on.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Or the Long Island. Could have went and found himself
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: some innings. What's that independent league in New York everyone
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: plays with? Or Jersey? The Long Island Ducks or something
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: like that? I don't remember what it was. Yeah, that
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: would have been nice. I'm really glad you said Ducks.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: What else was I going to say? I don't say
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: those bad words on radio. Yeah, I would think he's
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: waiting for a ring, I would say. But Drone's been,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: you know, the depth piece. I mean, you need to
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: have guys like that.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: And you never know.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Maybe if you need innings, maybe if you need a
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: spot starter, Drone can come up big and you never
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: know when. Buy or sell the Milwaukee Brewers playoff party
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: going on here later on today. Starting up at 4 o'clock.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: They have a pre-sale going on for playoff tickets starting.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Up at 10 a.m.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: So that'll be a feverish race to try to get
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: some of those remaining ones for Wisconsin residents only. Wisconsin
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: residents only pre-sale goes on, starts at 10. Then full
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: playoff tickets for the wildcard round. Don't buy the wildcard round.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: They're not going to play in it. And the division series,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: which will start up on October 3rd. Are you buying
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: or selling $ 65.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Playoff tickets in the terrace level? It's a lot more.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Right about where I thought they would be. It's more
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: than it used to be, but I don't think it's
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: a bad price these days.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: I think it's right about where I thought they would be.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: They still haven't fully let the cat out of the
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: bag on all of the prices. So I wonder if
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: they'd be a little more dynamic and they'll move around here.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Different games will be moving around.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: These days, yeah.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: I'm very excited because I'm going to go check out
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: the event coming up here later on today. The Win
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Our Way, they knew it. They just didn't want to
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: let everybody know they do have the Win Our Way
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: t-shirts ready. They have the Win Our Way signage all
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: over the ballpark. It's going to be post-seasoned out, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: our friends from Brewers TV are going to be doing
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: a little pregame show live from the right field concourse
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: coming up today for the little playoff party.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited to check that out. Love that.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: You know, I know money's tight these days, but I
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: do hope fans are out there in the DS ready
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: to go, be loud, and ready to eat. I hope
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: it's not like we'll wait till the next round type
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: of thing. We'll save our money for the World Series
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: because you never know. They're going to need our support
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: every way they can. And I think he proved it
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: last year in the DS against the Cubs. I mean,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Brewers fans showed up for game five in volume and
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: in throat.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Pause.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: So I think it's going to be as important this
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: year whether or not it's the Cubs. I know the
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Cubs added extra juice, but... Um, getting through the DS
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: is going to be difficult. So hopefully fans are there.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know it'll be sold out, but I, well,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I'll expect it to be. And I hope they're ready
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: to be, um, at full feral throat to help this
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: team through. So feral throat, feral, you know, like feral fan.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know why you went back to the throat one.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: There you go. That was a risk. Feral Throat, they're
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: playing at the Rave this week. They're opening? Yeah, they're opening. Listen,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: and it's going to be a fun playoff. What kind
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: of tunes do they play? I don't know. Pipe Bomb's favorite.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: But we do risk the whole, like, well, Packers have
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: been in the wild card before.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: We need to be hungry.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: We need to be ready to, you know, get after
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: it no matter what because these things can end quick
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: if you're not in your game.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: So I do hope fans, yeah, 65. I'm excited to
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: see you out there.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: I'd like to go to a game i don't know
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: what the schedule situation is going to be like they'll
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: play on october 3rd so unless you were going to
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: see the badgers against michigan state i think you should
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: be okay saturday well sunday you can't make it i'll
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: be coming back for my anniversary outing the night before
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: but maybe we'll be able to make it yeah i'm
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: hoping actually i can then at that october look at
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: you a little like little anniversary getaway now it's a
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: five year it's a five year anniversary I got to
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: do something for the five. We can't go to Subway again.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? For the anniversary, for.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: The five years.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: So, all right, mister. Now we let the cat out
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: of the bag before Dolph gets back here. What do
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: we got cooking up here for the anniversary surprise?
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: She's not listening. Well, no, it's no surprise. It's not
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: really a surprise. We planned it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: But, you know, you guys were talking about vacationing in Detroit,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: or Detroit, in Chicago.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Don't do vacation. No, we're not going to Detroit.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Remember it was like, was it like a month ago
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: you guys were arguing about if Chicago is a good
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: place to visit?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Drew loves it. I'm very lukewarm. So we're going
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: to spend the day at night in Chicago. Look at you.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: That's how that started. I'm not afraid to walk into
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: enemy territory. No, I bought it. Okay. It was definitely purchased.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: You cheap. Armin's like, wait, wait, wait, wait. Where do
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I get this?
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: That was for Billy because he accused me of cheaping
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: out on my anniversary.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: There's freebies?
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. Go ahead.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: All right. Yeah.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: You don't want me to bring that one in here.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I would buy that one. I thought we'd be starting
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: with that conversation today.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Whatever.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I don't care. But you were wet going out on
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: the field.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: It was wet, but the good news was it was
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: 67 degrees, so it wasn't really cold.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: It wasn't hot, you know? There's a big difference there.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, there's been opening days for the Brewers
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: where it's been like a 40-degree rain.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: That's a big difference. That's true, yeah. Other than the weather,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln? Now we're talking. Let's
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: talk about the football.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Brutal.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: It was brutal. I mean, as a Bears fan, it
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: was frustrating. You had Swift fumbling on the goal line,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: and then... Caleb goes down with the injury when he
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: had looked like a clear path to the end zone.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: And that second touchdown, you walked out of it going,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: what happened? But I wasn't underestimating.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: The Vikings defense after the Packer game. I became a
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: believer in that damn defense after watching them on Sunday.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: They are, there's some boys on that roster, man. They
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: can get after you.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Man, Paul Allen said it in their final call. He said,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Chicago meet Dallas. Talking about Dallas Turner, who was all
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: over the field. Yeah.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: He's a monster.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: We got welcome to that week one, and he took
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: a big jump this year.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: He really did, and I don't think there was any...
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: When he came out of Alabama, I mean, he was.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: What was he? He was eighth or ninth overall? He
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: was top 15 pick. So I'm thinking, you know, it's
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: not like we didn't know who he was, but you're right.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: This year, all of a sudden, two games in, are
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: the Vikings now the favorite to win the division? I
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: guess you'd probably have to make them that.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: That's interesting because on a buy or sell Tuesday, there
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: are eight teams in the NFL... this morning with 2-0 records.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: And I think probably three of them are going to
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: miss the playoffs at least.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Ooh, that's a good hot take.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Bills, Bengals, Chiefs, Raiders, Eagles, Vikings, Seahawks, and... Certainly the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Raiders are the most surprising out of all of those.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe the Vikings are too. We don't know what they're
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: going to do with Kyler now. And they might come
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: back to earth. But the thing about the Vikings is
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: no matter who they have in there. Tell me if
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: you guys disagree. Because of their coaching, they're always tough.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: They're always good.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Like a tough out. They're never bad.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Because of O'Connell and Flores, I mean, they're always good.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: And they have good talent, you know, obviously, around their team.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Against the Packers where they blitz 80% of the time,
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: you're thinking they cannot sustain that type of defense against
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: good NFL offenses. But they had a game plan for
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: the Bears and it worked. I mean, the Bears looked
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: lost on offense at times, missing blocks. Just not being
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: able to move the ball on the ground. Now, they
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: did end up with over 100 yards. I don't know
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: what it was, but that was a frustrating day for
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: a Bears fan watching that offense against that defense.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Well, it also felt like they got opportunities.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: They made it into the red zone, what, three times
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: and were over three in the red zone? That red
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: zone defense, I think, is the best part of what
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Minnesota brings to the party because they do. They make
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: you guess right. seven to eight times, right? Like the only,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: the only way to consistently beat them is how the
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Packers were, which is you got to get big plays.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Cause you've got to make sure a couple of those
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: drives are three or four time decisions. They're going to
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: bring six or seven guys in line of scrimmage. And
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: you're going to have to guess who's coming.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: And be right consistently down the field. That's, that's a
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: hard thing to ask a team to do. And it
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: was a slog with the weather in that game for
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: both teams. I mean, Minnesota, they have three field goals.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: They had 200 and some yards of total offense. But
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Kyler Murray's back this week. I don't know if that
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: will be an improvement over Carson Wentz. I guess we'll
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: find out. Who do they play this week?
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: The Vikes?
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Minnesota gets a good one.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: They get Tampa Bay.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Who needs a win after what they went through? Needs
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: a win. Yeah.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the hounds are out calling for them right now, too.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Vikings could be 4-0 when they go to the New
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Orleans Saints coming up because they get the Dolphins right
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: after they get the Buccaneers.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: We've buried the lead, tap-danced around it as a Bears fan.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: What'd you think of all the memes about Caleb Williams yesterday?
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: It was nonstop entertainment for us. I actually found it
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: very entertaining myself. I mean, people are clever, man. Some
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: of them are very clever.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: What was the tone? What was the tenor? What was
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: it like right away, though, in the stadium? Oh, it
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: was like a funeral, man. I mean, the way he
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: went down, was pounding the turf. I'm thinking, oh, man,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: that's a knee. I was in the opposite end zone.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Achilles knee something.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Non-contact injury. Non-contact, yeah.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: I thought I was thinking the worst as was everybody else.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: So we were immediately everybody in the stadium.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: And then carted off. Did people go nuts when he
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: gave the thumbs up and the towel? Yeah, of course.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: At first, you know, he's underneath the towel. And then
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: we see him come out and do the fist pump.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Like, okay. All right. So maybe it's not terrible. Well,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: then we find out it's not as bad. So walking
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: out of the stadium, what was the pep talk to
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: each other?
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Guys.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: It's okay. Tyson Bajan's really good. You got Bajan. Tyson
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Bajan's really good. I actually like him more than Caleb. Yeah.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: No, that wasn't it at all. The only thing that
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: was being chanted outside the stadium was Green Bay sucks.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Just like every other Bear game, as you head out
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: and go through those multiple tunnels outside Soldier Field, it's
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: just Green Bay sucks.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Green Bay sucks. And with the Vikings fans chiming in.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Yes, 100%.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: A lot of Viking fans there as well on Sunday.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: But the Bears do have, I mean, one of the
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: higher priced backups, I would say, right?
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: What he's making. I have no idea what Tyson did.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I know. I remember when he signed the deal. It
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: was a very emotional press conference. Yeah, it was a
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: pretty big glue they gave him.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Five million a year, I want to say. He's a
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: great story, by the way.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: D2, right, Billy?
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: D2.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Through your 10 million bucks. Yeah. Came in cold the
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: other day.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: You know, I mean, time was running out, but he
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: drove him inside the 20. He drove him into the
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: red zone, called off the bench.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: And the time he's gotten in the league, he's played well.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people really like him and
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: think he's a very sensible backup. And that's why you
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: have a guy like that.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Shepard University? Is that where he came from? You are correct.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Shepard University in, I believe, in the PSAC. PSAC. There
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: you go.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, didn't know much about him, but he was able
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: to stick with the Bears, and now he's in his...
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Fourth year?
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and his dad's also like a world champion arm wrestler.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: So I got to imagine that for the folks that
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: are a little bit frustrated as they're eating their Italian beef,
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: that their quarterback's painting their nails. They would like to
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: know this guy with an arm sleeve, dad arm wrestler.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: A little bit of contrast of the two cats. There
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: you go.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah. With Caleb, the memes were funny. Bears fans, I think,
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: were a little bit triggered by it. But, you know,
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: it's the world we live in right now. And Caleb's
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: a lightning rod for whatever reason.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: People triggered by something? No way. Can you believe it?
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Guy who painted his nails. Just saying.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Is there anything wrong with that? I have friends who
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: paint their nails. Yeah.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: And that's just between that and crying in his mother's
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: arms when he was at SC.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: So he's an easy target, I guess. But he brings
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: a lot of that onto himself. But as far as
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: toughness goes, the dude has started 36 games in a
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: row ever since he was when they first said, guess what?
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: We drafted you. Now the job is yours. And he
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: got the hell beat out of him. Almost 70 sacks
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: his rookie year. So I would never, for one, question
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: his toughness. You go from 59 points, though, to three.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: That was the thing.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: That pretty stark. No doubt. I think after week one,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Bears fans started having those dreams.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: In their eyes.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: It was not a great day.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, again, a swift fumbles on the goal line.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Caleb's got what looked like a clear path to the
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: end zone. Those are two touchdowns that came off the board.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: They got a field goal blocked. Got a field goal blocked.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: The weather was miserable. So, you know. Yeah, I mean,
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: I think it was more the day. I mean, you guys,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: I didn't see the Packer game, but you saw it.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: That was raining too, right?
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Raining too. It was nasty.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: And the other thing is, I mean, they've made that
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: field at least a little bit more, how do I
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: say it? able to withstand the conditions. I think we'll,
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: we'll see it in December, but it's a natural grass
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: field and it's going to rain. Like at some point
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: it's going to get slick. It's going to get tough to,
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: to move. And they definitely did. I'm still Dolph. I'm
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: still closer with you. I think their offense is going
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: to be really, really good and really tough to beat
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: because they still could run the football. I mean, you
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: mentioned the numbers.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: It was tough sledding.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: But that Vikings team, I do think you can run
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: at them a little bit more because if you just
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: keep drop back passing, you're going to be.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: In a tough life. Yeah, eventually it got to that point.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: They ended up with 300 and some yards of total offense.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: It wasn't a great day. They outgained Minnesota.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: But, you know, there's a lot of work to be
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: done there, whether it's with or without Caleb.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Now, what are we hearing?
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Is it going to be three weeks, one to three weeks?
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: They don't know if he might play this week. I'd
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: be surprised at that.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: We were saying they might have to just keep him
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: out just for appearances.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Just to help him out a little bit.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: I've always heard with that type of an injury, though,
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: you can go from grade one to grade three, whatever,
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: in a hurry if you aggravate it.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Very much can. Very much can.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: But again, he started his rehab right away, Dolph. Yeah,
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: the guys carry him off the field. It looked like
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: he immediately went to the heating pad, got the cart,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: wasn't trying to be one of these Tommy Tough guys
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: and walk off the field with an injury and make
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: it worse. He said, I am focused on my team,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: and I'm getting myself back right away. He had the
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: towel over the face.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Because actually, when you don't have a hyperbaric chamber, you
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: move around the oxygen and the CO2.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Actually, that's better for you. That's right. He was the
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: next level thinking arm.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: This is an injury that every schmuck like me that
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: played softball can relate to. You know, this is the
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: one we do more than anything else is pull that
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: damn hammy. And then you try to come back four
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: games later, beer on base softball, and you just make
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: it worse.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: And then the summer's lost.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: I pulled mine the other night trying to get out
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: of the little guy's bed.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: That guy. I got him to bed, did like the
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: sweet rollover. Oh, your boy thought I was smooth.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I reached the leg over the side and it pulled
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: right as I stretched that leg out and I collapsed
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: onto the floor. So I felt Caleb's pain there for
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: a little bit. Now, listen, again, I did grin and
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: bear it. I got out of the room and didn't
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: wake the kid up. So I felt like I finished
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: the run. Didn't need to be carted out of the
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: kid's bedroom. I gave him a thumbs up though.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Towel over the head. Yeah, that's awesome. He was ready
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: for the next game. That was the key. Hey, rough
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: weekend for quarterbacks.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Not only Caleb, but what happened with, yeah, last night
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: with Jackson Dart, Washington.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: So I guess that fever dream I had of what's
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the media going to be like if the Knicks and
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Giants are both good at the same time?
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: I guess we can pump the brakes on that a
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: little bit. Yeah.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Although Jalen Brunson's going to be hosting Saturday Night Live,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: and who would have bet that?
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Who would have bet on that like years ago? Like
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: even before he got to New York.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Not a chance.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're probably kicking themselves out. How many Knicks will
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: be involved and how many cameos of athletes? Will they
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: bring back Jeter or somebody?
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Well, and how will they craft in his new family
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: business of sports agency in there? You got to get
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: at least one good promo for your new business in there.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you would think.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: See, there's a Wisconsin resident, a native that's going to
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: be a regular on SNL now.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a female, and she was a cast member. Chippewa Falls,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: 25 years old. It's her first year.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: She's debuting this week on the Jalen Brunson episode. That's
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: pretty good. Now we're talking? Come on. What about Grace Ryder?
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: There you go, Grace Ryder.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: R-E-I-T-E-R. Looking forward to it. That's pretty good.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I imagine she's a Packers fan, probably a Lionel Kugel's
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: fan being from that part of the state.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: I would think so.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: She starred in HBO's The Chair Company and built a
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: massive following on TikTok.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: That's how you do it these days. I've definitely seen
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: this girl on TikTok. Yeah, she is hilarious. Yeah, she's
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: going to be representing.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Following the footsteps of some other Wisconsin cast members.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Obviously, the great Chris Farley.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: And Ann Risley grew up in Wisconsin and served as
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: a regular cast member during.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: The 80-81 season. That I did not know. I don't
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: know what that is.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Now, those were the dark days of Saturday Night Live,
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: the early 80s, other than Eddie Murphy.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: When Lauren was gone. Eddie Carrier. Yeah, it was pretty bleak.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: It was that period when Lauren was gone and Euchre's buddy,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Dick Ebersole, kind of took over.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. It was kind of bleak back then.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Although Julie Louis-Dreyfus was I think part of those cast for.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: One year like one or two one year I think
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Brad Hall I think she got fired too didn't she
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: pretty sure she did tomorrow move huh not no probably
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: was not yeah I'm just saying yeah Farley was the
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: one and Armin you love when I went to Saturday
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Night Live and for the taping He did the warm-up,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: audience warm-up, wearing the Marquette rugby jacket.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, I love that. He kept that thing forever. I mean, obviously,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: he had it in Tommy Boy, too. Tommy Boy, yeah.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Kept that one forever.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: 1818 Kilbourne, I think, is the house he was in
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: with the rugby house. And when he was at Marquette,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure exactly. It was kind of a pilgrimage.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: You had to go.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: You know, you stumble by. Marquette campus isn't that big.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: So everybody's like, that's where Farley lived.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: That's where Farley lived, and that's where Dahmer lived.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Well, that's gone. Oh, wait, they tore that down. That's
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: gone now.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: That's also Marquette property, isn't it? Yeah, it's like 27th
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: and Wells. It's actually off campus. So it actually has.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Nothing to do with it.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: I thought they owned the property, though, and they decided
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: to tear the building down.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: They might have.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like 25th and Wells, something like that.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Is there a plaque where Farley used to live, or
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: is there anything on campus that honors him?
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: There might be now.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Is there a plaque in the elevator at Schrader Hall
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: where he soiled himself?
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: My sister was riding up with him after a hard
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Saturday night.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: We used to say that would have been the toughest
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: RA job to be his RA. That would have been
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: the toughest of all RA jobs. No, I don't think
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: there is. Unless the College of Communication has something in
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: the building down in Johnson Hall.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, I'm wondering about that. They might.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I haven't been back in a while. I'm not on
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: the famous alumni board, so I'm not really. No, I'm not.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, so is that why you don't go back and talk? Well,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying I'm boycotting, but I'd love to.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: That sounds like it. Well, you know, I mean, you
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: got to reach out.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: You're going to be in one of these sweet advertising
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: pictures with the crew neck and the collared shirt over
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: the top of it.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: You'd look great in one of those. I'd look great.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, I would.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: You know, that's an arm and move right there. No,
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that'd be nice if they did something
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: for him. I mean, the legendary figure. I think they
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: should get a bronze.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Bronze Farley.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: By the way, did you see the... Right next to
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: the pair of Marquette's. Did you see the argument? Back
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: to the Bears thing. Back to the Bears, thank you.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Did you see the argument that they had on... Not
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: first take, first things first with Danny Parkins and Nick Wright.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Parkins is like, you know, it.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Was a tough day to score.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: It was six to three, you know, it was 20
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: mile an hour winds and 500 flights were canceled out
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: of O'Hare. And Nick Wright is like, it was hard
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: to score because flights were canceled at O'Hare? Starting to
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: sound like Justin Herbert. Chris Broussard's like, it's 106 degrees
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: on the turf in Tennessee.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: You got to give Nick Wright credit because he always
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: finds a way to craft the debate the way he wants.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: But I get the point, like the weather, but there's
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of flights in O'Hare. That's hilarious.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: How about yesterday, some dude cut through a cable, a
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: fiber optic cable, canceled a thousand flights on the East Coast.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: FAA had a bad time.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: Hopefully the brewers are fine now when they fly charter, right?
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Because Philadelphia was one of the most affected airports yesterday.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: So hold on.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: My man just took the scissors and just sliced it
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: in half?
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: It was a construction guy cut through it or something.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: And then the government, the DOT blamed an Amtrak crew,
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: an Amtrak fire back.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: No, no, this was on New Jersey Turnpike Authority property.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: That wasn't us, bro. That was somebody else.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know about you guys. It makes me nervous
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: to know that our whole family. FAA structure flights in
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: America is based on one line.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Well, did they not call Diggers Hotline before they did?
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Nobody spraying, they're marking the flags.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Orange spray paint was clearly marked on the ground. Is
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: that working now in a Southwest commercial?
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Want to get away? You can't because we cut the cable.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Those were brilliant. That was the Snickers, right? That's great,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: but who are the chefs? Yeah, who are the chefs?
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: The want to get away and real men of genius
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: would have to be on my Mount Rushmore favorite ad
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: campaigns because those would walk you into.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Some of the best ones. Real men of genius, Bud Light.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Bud Light.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Real men of genius. Mr.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Pulling your hamstring, getting out of bed. You deserve an
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: ice cold Bud Light.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I know you guys, and we're going to give away
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Metallica tickets in a little bit. That's a big deal
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: for us. Camp Randall, June 12th. Already circled the calendar.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: After ACDC rocked it this summer, they're bringing Metallica in.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a pretty good follow-up. Yeah, it's
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: a pretty good follow-up. But Dolph, did you guys have
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: occasion on your show or on the station yesterday to
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: play Earth, Wind & Fire? Because it was actually September.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: You did? Yeah, every 21st of September.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: In fact, your listeners are aware of the significance of
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: that date in that song.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Unlike our producer, Armin Sarri. So Armin, you were on
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Game Time yesterday with us, right? I wasn't here yesterday. Yes,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I was. And wasn't that the topic? It was dates
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: in songs, movies, or TV shows? Right, but because of
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: what happened here, I kind of was able to cheat.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I would have got it wrong. I don't know if
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: you didn't hear, but I didn't realize it was the 21st.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: So you used your insider trading information that we learned
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: on this show because we walked you through basically every
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: song with a subliminal message or a date in it.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Because you didn't know that the 21st of September is
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: in the song? I don't know why you had to
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: call me out on it, but yes, I did, okay? Hey,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: it's about personal growth, all right? It's about self-improvement. Armand,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: it's the first line. Do you remember the 21st? That's
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: what these guys said. I did not remember. Time for
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Who's Hot, Who's Not brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: heating and cooling.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Hey, 0% financing. We're up to 60 months on select systems.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Donovan Jorgensen does heating and cooling, and they do it
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: better than anybody else. You know why? Because that's what
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: they do. They don't try to do four or five
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: different things to your home. Heating and cooling, four systems
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: to better serve the communities. New Berlin, McGuanagoe, West Allis,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: and Menominee Falls. All right, I got a couple of
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: who's hot. Now, Drew, what's hot? comes into who's hot. Julie,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: WNBA's back off of their international play break.
• 35:37
