- 0:29Speaker 1: of plates spinning. We've got the Packers tonight. Billy's going
- 0:32Speaker 1: to give us a little forecast.
- 0:35Speaker 2: We're going to go on the line coming up here
- 0:37Speaker 2: in a little bit. We're crunching some numbers here.
- 0:40Speaker 1: We will not be at Pottawatomie Sportsbook tonight for Thursday
- 0:44Speaker 1: Night Huddle.
- 0:45Speaker 3: So we told everybody that. There's a game.
- 0:47Speaker 1: We'll be up there doing Packers OT. Armin will be
- 0:49Speaker 1: working here. We'll be back in our natural habitat. Next
- 0:53Speaker 1: place for you to be watching the game is be
- 0:54Speaker 1: going over there to the Pottawatomie Sports. Yeah, we won't
- 0:56Speaker 1: be there, but there's more room for you to go.
- 0:58Speaker 1: They get there.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Early and watch.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Oh, avail yourself of the Brewers Phillies and watch them
- 1:03Speaker 1: both at the same time in a glorious, glorious setting.
- 1:06Speaker 3: So we recommend that you go check out our friends.
- 1:08Speaker 3: That's a good point.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Drew, because 505 first pitch, that game will be wrapping
- 1:13Speaker 2: up as the Packers are starting.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Indeed.
- 1:16Speaker 2: And it's the worst part about Amazon Prime. I love
- 1:18Speaker 2: their broadcast. I love the broadcasters. I love their pregame show.
- 1:22Speaker 2: The color, the crispness of the color.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Oh, it's phenomenal. freaking hate that I can't channel surf.
- 1:28Speaker 1: So you don't have to channel surf. You just let
- 1:30Speaker 1: them do it at the Pottawatomie sports.
- 1:31Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 1:31Speaker 3: The lack of being.
- 1:32Speaker 4: Able to flip is probably one of the toughest things
- 1:34Speaker 4: for people about this.
- 1:34Speaker 3: There's a convenience. Yeah.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Would you live without a remote? Cause we, I grew
- 1:38Speaker 1: up with a TV and they didn't have a remote.
- 1:40Speaker 1: You had to walk up and change the channel physically.
- 1:42Speaker 3: How about that?
- 1:43Speaker 2: So my kids are never going to understand that, uh,
- 1:45Speaker 2: that struggle, but we have the, the tough thing is, uh,
- 1:48Speaker 2: dad sits on the remote and then it just gets
- 1:50Speaker 2: eaten by the couch so many times that, uh, I
- 1:52Speaker 2: live without it quite often, uh, But we have this
- 1:55Speaker 2: super handy dandy app that now will be.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Your remote when it works. Now, that would be the one, Drew.
- 2:03Speaker 3: I installed that, too.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Oh, where you really start wondering, man, maybe it was
- 2:08Speaker 2: smarter when they just had dials on these things. And
- 2:10Speaker 2: all I knew that I had to get up because
- 2:13Speaker 2: here I am in year of our Lord.
- 2:15Speaker 3: 2026 going up and changing the damn channel that way.
- 2:18Speaker 1: And we have a couple of them here, the Roku
- 2:19Speaker 1: remotes that don't have the numbers that you can't just
- 2:21Speaker 1: punch in the number you want. You have to flip
- 2:23Speaker 1: and scroll and click the wheel.
- 2:25Speaker 3: That sucks as well.
- 2:26Speaker 1: So, yeah, we're talking modern conveniences because I left my
- 2:29Speaker 1: laptop at home.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Both of them.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Also, the ones that can really go to die on
- 2:33Speaker 2: that Roku remote that you have right there is the
- 2:37Speaker 2: buttons for the volume on the side of the remote.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Put them on the front of the remote and give
- 2:42Speaker 2: it a real button because somebody is inevitably just going
- 2:44Speaker 2: to hold that thing when they're sweating out a bet,
- 2:47Speaker 2: roll that thing all the way up to 100, and
- 2:49Speaker 2: then accidentally.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Wake the baby up in the bed. Good point.
- 2:52Speaker 1: I misplace the remote a lot, and there are times
- 2:54Speaker 1: when I'll be watching a show and engrossed, and invariably
- 2:57Speaker 1: at a time when a game's like it, it's... It's
- 3:00Speaker 1: inflection point.
- 3:02Speaker 3: And then the dog will jump off the couch, step
- 3:03Speaker 3: on the remote, and change the channel. Change the channel
- 3:05Speaker 3: on you.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Now, I've got the Roku that didn't have the volume
- 3:10Speaker 4: on the side, like the older one, and I got
- 3:13Speaker 4: a newer one that does.
- 3:14Speaker 3: So it depends on the TV.
- 3:15Speaker 4: And I've come to enjoy the volume on the side
- 3:18Speaker 4: because if I'm in the dark and I'm sleeping, I
- 3:21Speaker 4: know I can feel.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Around to where my buttons are.
- 3:23Speaker 4: And I want to be able to feel in the
- 3:25Speaker 4: dark because I know where to turn the volume. I
- 3:27Speaker 4: like to watch TV in bed sometimes, obviously, and put
- 3:30Speaker 4: the sleep timer on.
- 3:31Speaker 3: I can do all that.
- 3:32Speaker 4: So I was thinking I prefer it, but then again...
- 3:37Speaker 4: Little Lena does not have access to that Roku because
- 3:39Speaker 4: it's not there. So she might be the one to
- 3:41Speaker 4: adjust volume. She knows how to use the phone already.
- 3:44Speaker 4: It's really crazy. She knows what buttons to push and
- 3:47Speaker 4: how to turn on her shows. But the thing is,
- 3:51Speaker 4: you can't live without those now because TVs don't work
- 3:53Speaker 4: without remote.
- 3:54Speaker 3: That's very true. I mean, they do, but not really.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Not really. You can't really do it.
- 3:58Speaker 4: You're not going to try and deal with it that
- 4:00Speaker 4: way because you live without Wi-Fi.
- 4:03Speaker 3: I would say no. Watch people try to live without Wi-Fi.
- 4:07Speaker 3: They try to.
- 4:07Speaker 1: You're going to see people in a plane or in
- 4:09Speaker 1: a coffee shop or something.
- 4:11Speaker 3: What the hell?
- 4:12Speaker 4: A plane is one thing because you know you're up.
- 4:17Speaker 4: You can do a hotspot though on your phone. I've
- 4:20Speaker 4: done that in the past. As long as you have
- 4:22Speaker 4: a phone with good data and a good charger.
- 4:24Speaker 3: In theory.
- 4:26Speaker 4: You don't want to live that way. I think Wi-Fi
- 4:28Speaker 4: is an answer.
- 4:30Speaker 1: What modern convenience could do without for a day a week,
- 4:35Speaker 1: a year. I think the longer you get into going
- 4:38Speaker 1: cold turkey, the better off you'd be.
- 4:40Speaker 3: Then it's just over.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Billy, you said living without a garbage disposal. You wouldn't
- 4:45Speaker 1: have thought that that would be possible, but it is.
- 4:47Speaker 3: Yeah, 100%.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Listen, when I'm in college and that thing was the
- 4:52Speaker 1: MVP of the house, the only thing that did any cleaning.
- 4:56Speaker 3: Was the garbage disposal. Exactly.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I saw, speaking of college, the kids at my old
- 5:00Speaker 1: dorm at Sandburg Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
- 5:03Speaker 3: Stand up, stand up.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Elevators keep going down, and kids are having to walk
- 5:07Speaker 1: like 20 flights of stairs and stuff. Like, oh.
- 5:10Speaker 3: Those are terrible things. 20 is tough. It's like, it's
- 5:14Speaker 3: not a three-floor walk. You're in shape, though. You're young.
- 5:16Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:17Speaker 2: The third floor was the worst one, because that's where
- 5:20Speaker 2: I lived my freshman year, because it was just tall
- 5:22Speaker 2: enough where it was very, very convenient. But it was
- 5:26Speaker 2: also short enough of a walk where you could call
- 5:28Speaker 2: yourself a real fatso for not going up the three.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Flights of short stairs to get into your room.
- 5:32Speaker 1: In buildings like that, the elevators are always slow and...
- 5:35Speaker 1: And you know you're waiting for somebody. You get shamed, too.
- 5:40Speaker 4: If people are getting the elevator and you press that
- 5:42Speaker 4: three or that two, they're going to be looking at
- 5:44Speaker 4: you and judging you.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Oh, they're eyeing you. Yeah, no doubt about it.
- 5:47Speaker 4: I live on the third floor, too, Billy, but it
- 5:49Speaker 4: was just a stair building.
- 5:50Speaker 3: It was only a three-floor building. So that's interesting.
- 5:53Speaker 4: But, yeah, I always said, like, if I was in
- 5:55Speaker 4: a seven-floor building, anything four and above I could justify
- 5:59Speaker 4: for elevator. So, you know, that's why you wanted to
- 6:02Speaker 4: make sure you had to go to the fourth floor.
- 6:04Speaker 4: And if you had to go to the fourth floor
- 6:05Speaker 4: and walk down once.
- 6:06Speaker 3: You would do it. Yeah, then you're hosed. You would
- 6:08Speaker 3: do it. Yeah.
- 6:09Speaker 2: I'll say the other modern conveniences. We're talking about two
- 6:12Speaker 2: games in one time here tonight with the Amazon Prime.
- 6:16Speaker 2: The real convenience that I'm never going away from is
- 6:19Speaker 2: the second TV in the living room.
- 6:20Speaker 3: There you go. As much as my phone is a
- 6:22Speaker 3: great second screen.
- 6:24Speaker 2: And I can watch just about anything and sadly end
- 6:26Speaker 2: up doing that when generally one of them is commandeered
- 6:30Speaker 2: by Dancing with the Stars because we've got to watch
- 6:32Speaker 2: the Savannah Bananas guy on this one and Miss Rachel
- 6:34Speaker 2: on the other one.
- 6:35Speaker 3: Dad's watching the Brewer game on the phone anyway.
- 6:38Speaker 2: The two TVs is just something I can't get away from.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Even if they are at some particular point in my
- 6:44Speaker 2: RV living life, like when I– end up just selling
- 6:47Speaker 2: everything that i own and live in an rv just
- 6:49Speaker 2: living off the land that's after geezer palooza well after
- 6:52Speaker 2: geezer palooza i'm gonna try to get i'm gonna try
- 6:54Speaker 2: to get the rv from geezer palooza it's gonna be a.
- 6:56Speaker 4: Great year of retirement when you're driving around the rv.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Even if i have the 228 inchers with starlink or
- 7:02Speaker 2: whatever kind of uh internet they're sending out in the
- 7:05Speaker 2: woods oh yeah you gotta have the two screens for
- 7:07Speaker 2: me Yeah.
- 7:08Speaker 3: That's fine.
- 7:08Speaker 4: I mean, that's good. You can watch multiple things that way.
- 7:10Speaker 4: I would agree with you there. I mean, I've used
- 7:12Speaker 4: the laptop for a while as a second one, but
- 7:15Speaker 4: you're right. I mean, it's not that convenient because. And
- 7:17Speaker 4: you got to make sure it's charged. You got to
- 7:19Speaker 4: find the wire. You got to stretch it out. You
- 7:21Speaker 4: want to do other stuff on the laptop. So yeah,
- 7:24Speaker 4: that's a good one, Billy.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Two TVs.
- 7:25Speaker 4: I think once you're used to that, you don't sacrifice.
- 7:28Speaker 4: Once upon a time, I thought I couldn't live without cable.
- 7:30Speaker 4: And then I realized I could, you know, when I
- 7:32Speaker 4: do it, it's like, Hey, you know what you can,
- 7:34Speaker 4: it's not paying for 10 to other services.
- 7:36Speaker 3: That's the thing you do do that. But then you
- 7:38Speaker 3: pick and choose a little bit.
- 7:39Speaker 4: Now that's getting worse and worse as we go on
- 7:41Speaker 4: the streaming thing. But it's like, You learn to live
- 7:45Speaker 4: without what you don't have, and you just become used
- 7:48Speaker 4: to it after a while, in terms of at least
- 7:51Speaker 4: entertainment viewing options.
- 7:52Speaker 3: You just watch what's there.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Entertainment viewing options. Hunter Baumgart covering the Brewers for us.
- 7:57Speaker 1: He's our go-to guy. He's going to join us at 730-ish,
- 8:01Speaker 1: and we have a report from him last night, a
- 8:03Speaker 1: recap of the Brewers' win, victory number 99 for the
- 8:07Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers, who have set and continue to set franchise records.
- 8:11Speaker 3: Take it away, Hunter. Thanks, guys.
- 8:14Speaker 5: Another historic night for the Milwaukee Brewers, this time in
- 8:17Speaker 5: Philadelphia where they got a 4-1 victory. Logan Henderson, another
- 8:22Speaker 5: great start. He allows just one run. He has now
- 8:26Speaker 5: started his career with 23 straight starts, allowing three runs
- 8:29Speaker 5: or fewer. That ties the longest streak since 1893. Zach Gallin,
- 8:35Speaker 5: also 23 straight starts to begin his career of allowing
- 8:39Speaker 5: three runs or fewer. Super excited to see what Logan
- 8:41Speaker 5: Henderson can do in October. And he said last night, boy,
- 8:45Speaker 5: that's what you dream about, right? Pitching in these big games.
- 8:48Speaker 5: Trevor McGill, 30th save last night. He joins four other
- 8:52Speaker 5: pitchers to have multiple seasons of 30-plus saves for the
- 8:56Speaker 5: Milwaukee Brewers. Dan Plesak, John Axford, K-Rod, Josh Hader, and
- 9:01Speaker 5: now Trevor McGill. 30-plus saves in multiple seasons in Brewers history.
- 9:08Speaker 5: A great night all around. Brewers, 99 wins. They have
- 9:10Speaker 5: four chances tonight. to win 100 games. And it starts tonight,
- 9:15Speaker 5: 5.05 first pitch. No pregame show due to our Packers
- 9:18Speaker 5: coverage on Fox Sports 920 in Milwaukee. We'll have the
- 9:21Speaker 5: pregame show coming up tomorrow night when they host the
- 9:23Speaker 5: Cardinals for a weekend series. Not sure who's going to
- 9:26Speaker 5: start tonight yet. Bryce Wilson might be the guy activated
- 9:29Speaker 5: possibly from the IL today. But we know Robert Gasser
- 9:33Speaker 5: will start tomorrow. Dustin May will start on Saturday. And
- 9:35Speaker 5: then Jacob Mizorowski will start on Sunday. This report brought
- 9:39Speaker 5: to you by Import Minded, your trusted choice for exceptional
- 9:42Speaker 5: vehicle care on South 27th, just north of 894. I'll
- 9:45Speaker 5: join you guys at 725 to talk more about the crew.
- 9:47Speaker 3: Back to you guys. Thank you, Hunter B. Baby Hunter.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Import Minded, thank you as well. Come on now.
- 9:54Speaker 1: And Bryce Wilson, rise up, dude. Good good for Bryce
- 9:57Speaker 1: Wilson as he's going to factor in here in the
- 10:01Speaker 1: game that everybody is going to be 1000% dialed into
- 10:05Speaker 1: now that they've locked up the number one seed. They
- 10:07Speaker 1: really only need to get one one more two more
- 10:10Speaker 1: of these drew as you did the math for them
- 10:11Speaker 1: to be able to lock up all of home field
- 10:14Speaker 1: advantage throughout but Bryce Wilson not only getting a ring
- 10:18Speaker 1: earn in the ring that he's going to get He
- 10:20Speaker 1: might earn himself if somebody ends up going down some
- 10:23Speaker 1: piece or some way or shape or form in the NLDS.
- 10:27Speaker 3: Sure. There's a lot worse guys that I'd be handing
- 10:30Speaker 3: the baseball to than him. He's been fantastic. Knowing your role, too.
- 10:34Speaker 4: I was just going to say, no one's... excelled in
- 10:37Speaker 4: their role more than, more than Bryce Wilson. There's a
- 10:40Speaker 4: lot of better players on this team. A lot more
- 10:42Speaker 4: guys that are going to go down as we'll remember
- 10:43Speaker 4: that have impact winning and losing, but no one's embraced
- 10:46Speaker 4: what they've asked for him. You want to get cut me,
- 10:49Speaker 4: hire me, cut me again. I'll do whatever it takes,
- 10:52Speaker 4: whatever you guys want, pitch, whenever you want me to start,
- 10:55Speaker 4: finish multiple innings, not have a, be on the team,
- 10:58Speaker 4: be on the team. No one has been more of
- 11:00Speaker 4: a team player and establishing and embracing their role than
- 11:03Speaker 4: Bryce Wilson this year. There's got to be some award
- 11:07Speaker 4: for that. Literally, guys got to let go.
- 11:10Speaker 3: And come back.
- 11:11Speaker 4: It's just hilarious. But listen, you might be right, Billy.
- 11:15Speaker 4: Sports are crazy like that. Maybe he'll have a big
- 11:17Speaker 4: role and get a big out and big inning in
- 11:18Speaker 4: the playoffs that we don't expect.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Hey, I didn't think Nick Mears was getting any outs
- 11:22Speaker 3: in the playoffs. Exactly.
- 11:24Speaker 4: You didn't think that, and then all of a sudden
- 11:25Speaker 4: he was the one. So you never know when you're
- 11:28Speaker 4: going to need somebody to be the hero that night.
- 11:30Speaker 3: Love it. Robert Gasser in the rotation for sure in
- 11:34Speaker 3: the playoffs, Drew?
- 11:35Speaker 1: It's a great question. He's pitching Friday night. Miz pitches Sunday.
- 11:40Speaker 2: The way they're lining it up, obviously they can do
- 11:43Speaker 2: all the logistics that they want on an off week.
- 11:46Speaker 3: I think he might. That's the thing. Do you need
- 11:48Speaker 3: a fourth starter in a five-game series?
- 11:52Speaker 2: You just might just because of the days off, there's
- 11:55Speaker 2: only one, the one day off, right? Like that feels
- 11:58Speaker 2: like it might be a Saturday, Sunday off and then,
- 12:00Speaker 2: and then Tuesday, Wednesday. Oh, then Thursday off and then Friday.
- 12:04Speaker 2: So yeah, you probably could, you could do it if
- 12:07Speaker 2: you wanted to go three. I just, I think they
- 12:10Speaker 2: would go for, um, and you know, Hunter brought up
- 12:13Speaker 2: a good point there yesterday that that game three, albeit
- 12:17Speaker 2: he hasn't been nails at all, uh, that just might
- 12:21Speaker 2: be Dustin may one because of the Hornets nest that
- 12:23Speaker 2: you're walking into first playoff game on the road in
- 12:27Speaker 2: that environment, give it to somebody that's pitched in the
- 12:29Speaker 2: playoffs a number of different times before. I do like
- 12:32Speaker 2: that thought. And granted, I mean, he pitched in one
- 12:34Speaker 2: of the weirder playoffs that we've ever seen. He was,
- 12:37Speaker 2: he was at the Dodgers in that, in that COVID
- 12:39Speaker 2: one to go and play at globe life, but perform
- 12:43Speaker 2: pretty well in that one. I know if I remember correctly.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Yeah, that's, that is, that is a concern, but yeah,
- 12:48Speaker 1: having him pitch now, Yeah, what about there's guys who
- 12:51Speaker 1: have different splits home and away?
- 12:53Speaker 3: Well, Harrison for a while had that.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Yeah, Harrison had that. Harrison was going to be the
- 12:57Speaker 2: biggest one. I think he's pitching himself right out of
- 12:59Speaker 2: that conversation.
- 13:00Speaker 3: I would say. We don't have that one right now.
- 13:02Speaker 3: I would say he's iffy for the roster to me. Like,
- 13:04Speaker 3: you know.
- 13:05Speaker 2: Bryce Wilson or Kyle Harrison, I'd feel a lot better
- 13:07Speaker 2: if they gave the ball to Bryce Wilson in any spot.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Especially if you're only looking for three innings. Yeah, I'm
- 13:12Speaker 3: looking for something.
- 13:13Speaker 2: And most likely that situation is either you're up 8-3
- 13:17Speaker 2: and all I want to do is get three outs
- 13:19Speaker 2: to be able to get it to the hammers and
- 13:20Speaker 2: finish the thing, or... We're down 8-3, and I just
- 13:23Speaker 2: don't want to burn anybody else. I think Harrison, I
- 13:25Speaker 2: don't know that I'm for sure Harrison's getting you through
- 13:28Speaker 2: the rest of that game.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Yeah, no question.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Bullpen game today, then Gasser, and then who's pitching on
- 13:34Speaker 1: the interim? Because then we have Miz on Sunday, and
- 13:37Speaker 1: he'll pitch, what, three, four innings? He said May again
- 13:40Speaker 1: on Saturday.
- 13:41Speaker 3: May, Saturday. So May, Saturday, that would line up for
- 13:44Speaker 3: him to be right in there. Yeah, that would line up.
- 13:47Speaker 4: I think Asher's just been so good.
- 13:48Speaker 1: And Henderson's going to throw the simulated game for the
- 13:51Speaker 1: first one.
- 13:51Speaker 2: In the workout probably. In the workout probably, yep. And
- 13:54Speaker 2: whenever they end up firing those up, I imagine they'll.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Let people know. I imagine, you know, they're going to
- 14:00Speaker 1: open Saturday. So the workout day slash media stuff will
- 14:05Speaker 1: be Friday with both teams.
- 14:07Speaker 3: But I think, yeah, Tuesday. He'll give them Monday off probably, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
- 14:13Speaker 3: Light workouts.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Tuesday, I got made an optional, and then Wednesday, Thursday,
- 14:16Speaker 2: they'll get after me. They'll really ramp up. They'll fire
- 14:18Speaker 2: something in. And listen, Saturday is get ready for.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Another matinee Saturday, because I got to assume they will
- 14:26Speaker 1: be the opener of all those games that fire up.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Was it last year they did an open workout? I
- 14:29Speaker 1: think we broadcast from outside of the line of Kugel's.
- 14:32Speaker 6: Yep.
- 14:34Speaker 2: They did an open workout because I want to say
- 14:38Speaker 2: Hunter was on the field for you guys.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Yeah, Hunter was on the field and we were there.
- 14:42Speaker 1: We were doing afternoons then and we were perched there
- 14:45Speaker 1: watching the workout. Trying to dive out of the way
- 14:48Speaker 1: of home run balls. We were sampling some of the
- 14:50Speaker 1: playoff food. Yeah, it was good stuff.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Playoff food is phenomenal. It was going to be impressive.
- 14:56Speaker 3: But the tough thing is they had it out and
- 14:57Speaker 3: showcased a couple of.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Them the other night at the rally that we went to.
- 15:03Speaker 1: those tacos at the food truck stand are going to
- 15:05Speaker 1: be tough for me to pass up. Like everything that
- 15:07Speaker 1: our chef is cooking up that he went and talked
- 15:08Speaker 1: to us on Andrew Vaughn day.
- 15:10Speaker 3: That was great. I remember that.
- 15:11Speaker 2: I was a fan of all of it, but when
- 15:13Speaker 2: they wheel out that burrito at that red taco, I'm
- 15:15Speaker 2: going to be struggling to pass that up.
- 15:17Speaker 4: Hard to say no, which is why going back to
- 15:19Speaker 4: what you were saying yesterday about opening up the stadium for,
- 15:22Speaker 4: for the road playoff games. I know people are going
- 15:24Speaker 4: to want to eat, you know, I know if you,
- 15:26Speaker 4: if you might sell some, you know what I'm saying?
- 15:28Speaker 3: We're hungry.
- 15:30Speaker 4: I got a couple comments here. P Chang on YouTube says,
- 15:34Speaker 4: happy throwback Thursday, fellas. Four chances to get 100 dubs.
- 15:37Speaker 4: Will Murph be the three-time manager of the year? If
- 15:40Speaker 4: we do, he had that question first. Then he also
- 15:43Speaker 4: asks how the O-line responds tonight. Let's blank and go.
- 15:46Speaker 4: I'll let you guys answer both on that one if
- 15:49Speaker 4: you want. Well, let's chew on the offensive line one
- 15:54Speaker 4: in a little bit. But the Murph one is fascinating
- 15:56Speaker 4: to me, Drew.
- 15:57Speaker 3: I think.
- 15:59Speaker 1: he should have every opportunity to win it, right? Like,
- 16:02Speaker 1: I don't think that it's a fatigue thing. I think
- 16:05Speaker 1: there's probably more deserving candidates this year, not more deserving
- 16:09Speaker 1: than him, more deserving in competition of him. The last
- 16:15Speaker 1: couple of years he's walked in and it's been rather unopposed.
- 16:18Speaker 1: This year I could very easily, if they gave it
- 16:20Speaker 1: to Walt Weiss or they gave it to Don Mattingly,
- 16:22Speaker 1: I wouldn't bat an eye.
- 16:23Speaker 3: So I struggle to think he wins it again. But
- 16:26Speaker 3: you don't think it's a fatigue thing? I don't think. No,
- 16:28Speaker 3: not necessarily. I don't think it's necessarily.
- 16:30Speaker 2: I think there's actually two guys that probably, that would
- 16:34Speaker 2: deserve it.
- 16:34Speaker 3: In any other year as well. Yeah. Mattingly especially.
- 16:38Speaker 2: And there's also like, it's the prognostications, the eggs on
- 16:42Speaker 2: the face of fan graphs.
- 16:44Speaker 1: I don't know that it's necessarily on the face of
- 16:46Speaker 1: anybody else. They're the ones that keep predicting them to
- 16:48Speaker 1: win 82 and a half games.
- 16:49Speaker 2: People that actually watch the games and the ones that
- 16:51Speaker 2: are voting on it are the guys that are watching
- 16:54Speaker 2: the games being like, wow, I love watching these dudes play.
- 16:56Speaker 2: They play this way every single year, seemingly for the
- 16:59Speaker 2: last half decade.
- 16:59Speaker 4: The way the Padres have played. I mean, Craig Stammen
- 17:02Speaker 4: might get a look, but I don't think it'll be him, but.
- 17:05Speaker 1: And does Dave Roberts get overlooked because his team is
- 17:07Speaker 1: always good? They're supposed to win.
- 17:08Speaker 3: Always.
- 17:09Speaker 4: Always.
- 17:09Speaker 3: And that's going to happen.
- 17:10Speaker 7: Always.
- 17:11Speaker 4: But interestingly enough, the Brewers haven't gotten to the point
- 17:13Speaker 4: where people expect them to be good enough to not
- 17:15Speaker 4: give him any credits.
- 17:17Speaker 3: That's true.
- 17:17Speaker 4: They still give him credits.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Well, yeah. It'll be interesting to see what happens with
- 17:20Speaker 3: that one. I mean, when you consider the youth of
- 17:23Speaker 3: the roster, nobody's doing it like they are. No, and
- 17:28Speaker 3: that's the thing.
- 17:28Speaker 1: He absolutely deserves it. He deserves consideration because he deserved
- 17:32Speaker 1: the award. Well, we would say yes, but if you
- 17:35Speaker 1: look at it, like you said, you can make the
- 17:37Speaker 1: case for a couple other guys.
- 17:39Speaker 2: There would be plenty of years where if this insert
- 17:41Speaker 2: a name here would have won it, I would have
- 17:43Speaker 2: laughed and said that's folly. This one, I don't know.
- 17:47Speaker 2: We all expected that they were going to be pretty
- 17:48Speaker 2: damn good, and they were. And let's say it now.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Craig Council, as manager of the Brewers, never won a
- 17:53Speaker 2: manager of the year award. He should have won it
- 17:55Speaker 2: at least once, if not twice. He definitely should have
- 17:57Speaker 2: won an 18. That was the travesty of the year.
- 18:01Speaker 3: Absolutely. Bizarre. When we come back, Scott Dolphin is going
- 18:04Speaker 3: to pop in. We've reached halftime. Oh, baby.
- 18:08Speaker 1: When are we going to do the on-the-line thing? I
- 18:10Speaker 1: was going to say right after Dolph.
- 18:11Speaker 2: You want me to walk the line and get everybody
- 18:15Speaker 2: on the line and figure it out at Pottawatomie Sportsbook?
- 18:16Speaker 3: After Dolph. Yeah, let's do that. We'll figure it out.
- 18:19Speaker 1: And then Hunter joins us again at 725. Scott Dolphin
- 18:21Speaker 1: is up next. You're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Drew Billion-Armin, it's halftime of the huddle. game day in
- 18:32Speaker 1: the good land packers play tonight home opener against the
- 18:35Speaker 1: falcons thursday night football but we have a business to
- 18:39Speaker 1: take care of first scott dolphins here halftime correspondent from
- 18:41Speaker 1: the country station down the hall fm 106 good morning
- 18:43Speaker 1: dolph fellas you see that.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Moon this morning glorious i just went out there and
- 18:48Speaker 2: checked it out again during the uh break at the
- 18:50Speaker 2: top of the hour oh.
- 18:50Speaker 7: My god i was oblivious i had to look it
- 18:52Speaker 7: up i should have known this it's the harvest moon
- 18:54Speaker 7: yeah which happens at the end of a giant orange
- 18:57Speaker 7: ball in the sky.
- 18:58Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's pretty incredible.
- 19:00Speaker 7: They say this one is bigger and brighter than most
- 19:02Speaker 7: because it, I don't know, there's science behind this, but
- 19:04Speaker 7: that's why it looks so big in the sky. Apparently
- 19:06Speaker 7: that's why, that's when you harvest the crops.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Don't you feel like we're getting cheated a little bit
- 19:10Speaker 1: because it's only been in the 60s? Like we're getting
- 19:12Speaker 1: October weather now?
- 19:13Speaker 3: Yes, thank you. I feel seen, finally. We should be
- 19:17Speaker 3: up in the back half of the.
- 19:19Speaker 7: 70s right now. I'm kind of digging it. Last night
- 19:22Speaker 7: I went out on my deck and I'm like, ooh.
- 19:24Speaker 3: Oh, breathe that in, that cool, crisp bottom there. The
- 19:27Speaker 3: ball is here, Dolph. It is a beautiful win.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Start thinking about a pumpkin spice latte and a chunky
- 19:32Speaker 1: sweater and your Ugg boots.
- 19:33Speaker 3: Oh, wait. None of this 130 degrees on the field temperature.
- 19:37Speaker 3: I want to know. I want it to be a
- 19:39Speaker 3: little warmer, man.
- 19:39Speaker 7: If I see another sideline reporter get one of those
- 19:42Speaker 7: temperature guns and go down and check what the synthetic
- 19:45Speaker 7: turf is.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what we use on the Blackstone. We don't
- 19:49Speaker 2: need to use that on football. turf to be showing people.
- 19:51Speaker 3: How hot it is in Nashville and Jacksonville. Kind of
- 19:54Speaker 3: tired of that.
- 19:54Speaker 4: It just seems like, I get it's hot, but it
- 19:56Speaker 4: seems like they're just going for a big number now.
- 19:58Speaker 3: It's like an elevated wind chill.
- 20:00Speaker 4: Like, is that really, is it really like that hot?
- 20:03Speaker 3: Like, come on.
- 20:03Speaker 7: It's right up there, Armin, with local reporters going to
- 20:06Speaker 7: an Ace Hardware store before the first big storm and
- 20:09Speaker 7: show how many shovels and bags of salt are left
- 20:11Speaker 7: on the shelf.
- 20:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
- 20:12Speaker 4: It is. But, you know, you got to have a
- 20:14Speaker 4: good story, sensationalize, not sensationalize, but, you know.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Get it, you know, get a little more dramatic. He's
- 20:19Speaker 1: trying to give you a little perspective of what the
- 20:21Speaker 1: guys are going through. Then you add shoulder pads and
- 20:23Speaker 1: a helmet on there. It might be a little bit different.
- 20:26Speaker 1: I'm not doubting it's hot. I'm not doubting it's better
- 20:28Speaker 1: to play football in this weather. But I, okay, I.
- 20:31Speaker 3: Do whine a little bit when summer ends. Billy knows this. Yeah,
- 20:34Speaker 3: but it is a beautiful moon out there.
- 20:36Speaker 4: Now, last month, when the Packers played their preseason game
- 20:39Speaker 4: at home against the Cardinals, It was a sturgeon moon.
- 20:44Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 20:44Speaker 4: And Wayne and Larry were, you know, speaking of the
- 20:46Speaker 4: Packers broadcast, Wayne and Larry were talking about that. This
- 20:48Speaker 4: is a harvest moon. It was actually a sturgeon moon,
- 20:51Speaker 4: but that was like a really bright, bright pink.
- 20:53Speaker 3: Almost. This is a nice bright orange, I'd say.
- 20:55Speaker 7: Yeah, like Drew said, it's got like an orangish-yellow kind
- 20:58Speaker 7: of shade to it.
- 20:59Speaker 3: But it's also how low it is. It looks so big.
- 21:01Speaker 4: Massive. I mean, it's hard to believe that that's the
- 21:03Speaker 4: same moon that hangs high in the sky some nights,
- 21:05Speaker 4: and it's just nature amazing.
- 21:08Speaker 3: It's like special effects out of a Hollywood movie. Pretty
- 21:10Speaker 3: cool stuff.
- 21:11Speaker 4: But yeah, if you're going to go harvesting tonight, the harvest.
- 21:13Speaker 3: That's right.
- 21:14Speaker 4: Is there any harvest dances going on?
- 21:16Speaker 3: They'll get some big shots of that on Amazon tonight. Oh,
- 21:19Speaker 3: big time. Rolling it. No doubt about it.
- 21:22Speaker 4: Good luck to everyone picking their crops tonight.
- 21:24Speaker 7: The full moon isn't until Saturday, I guess. So you'll
- 21:26Speaker 7: probably also get great shots during the Badger-Penn State game.
- 21:29Speaker 3: There you go. That's good.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Listen, and that game is going to be a welcome
- 21:34Speaker 2: to the Big Ten, Mr.
- 21:35Speaker 3: Cyclone. Sorry, Matt Campbell. I know it's been nice and happy. Really?
- 21:39Speaker 1: And it's been really nice and fun in Happy Valley.
- 21:41Speaker 1: But I love a little smash mouth football game. I
- 21:44Speaker 1: would not be shocked if Bucky hangs in this one.
- 21:48Speaker 7: Of course, that's me being biased as an Iowa fan
- 21:51Speaker 7: because most of that roster is wearing Nittany line colors
- 21:55Speaker 7: were cyclones last year.
- 21:56Speaker 3: There was a lot of Maroon on that, on that roster. Yeah.
- 21:59Speaker 3: So I mean, there's certainly red. They want to call
- 22:01Speaker 3: themselves over there. Right. Exactly.
- 22:03Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 22:03Speaker 3: I wouldn't say the way Wisconsin played Saturday. I know
- 22:05Speaker 3: it's Eastern Michigan, but they look good.
- 22:07Speaker 2: They listen, they can run. I think they're going to
- 22:09Speaker 2: be able to run the football. Abu Sama going to
- 22:10Speaker 2: be back, ready to roll. And Colton Joseph dial in
- 22:14Speaker 2: with a couple of these receivers. It would be nice
- 22:15Speaker 2: if we could get Malachi Coleman back. It would be
- 22:17Speaker 2: very nice if we could get him for sure back.
- 22:19Speaker 2: But Chris Brooks looks like something in the secondary. Now,
- 22:22Speaker 2: I just– there's plenty of time to be talking college football.
- 22:25Speaker 2: But there's nothing funnier to me that Hank Brown– If
- 22:29Speaker 2: there's any quarterback that sounds like a country music singer
- 22:32Speaker 2: is playing for dolls.
- 22:33Speaker 3: I walk. And he's from Nashville. Hey, just perfect. He's
- 22:37Speaker 3: from Nashville. Yeah. That's the, you couldn't write it.
- 22:39Speaker 2: And when you throw a mandolin on the side, well,
- 22:41Speaker 2: when he throws his ball cap on too, it looks
- 22:43Speaker 2: like a little bit of a nice little blonde mullet.
- 22:45Speaker 2: It's a perfect look for what Hank Brown should look like.
- 22:48Speaker 3: Yeah. Brown is doing playing quarterback of the Hawks.
- 22:50Speaker 1: All right.
- 22:50Speaker 4: Best country singers of all time. Name Hank.
- 22:53Speaker 3: Hank Williams, obviously. He's the GOAT.
- 22:55Speaker 4: Right.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Right at the top.
- 22:56Speaker 4: I think you had Hank Thompson.
- 22:58Speaker 3: Am I right?
- 22:58Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 22:58Speaker 3: Hank Thompson. All right. Six-pack to go. I remember that song.
- 23:01Speaker 3: I don't know anybody else. Hank Hill. Hank Hill. Yeah.
- 23:05Speaker 3: God dang it, Bobby.
- 23:07Speaker 4: I just saw that.
- 23:10Speaker 3: I love it. All right. All right.
- 23:12Speaker 4: All right.
- 23:12Speaker 3: Let's do it right now. It's a good one. Let's
- 23:14Speaker 3: do it right now. Name two.
- 23:15Speaker 4: All right.
- 23:16Speaker 3: I don't know anymore. Hank's one of those names. That's
- 23:18Speaker 3: all I got, but we got Dolph. I thought maybe
- 23:19Speaker 3: you got one. Hank is one of those names that's
- 23:22Speaker 3: short for Henry, right? Correct.
- 23:24Speaker 7: There's certain names, you know, Bobby is Robert, you know,
- 23:27Speaker 7: what he built, but there's certain ones that you don't
- 23:29Speaker 7: really think of much, like Hank for Henry. The one
- 23:32Speaker 7: that always kind of scratched my head, I had a
- 23:33Speaker 7: teacher named.
- 23:35Speaker 3: Margaret, and they would call her Peggy. Peggy. Margaret Peggy.
- 23:38Speaker 3: I don't know how that happens.
- 23:39Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 23:41Speaker 3: And that one, I never really understood.
- 23:42Speaker 4: There's all kinds of stuff. I mean, I'm not really,
- 23:44Speaker 4: I haven't brought it up yet, but Billy knows I
- 23:46Speaker 4: prepared to. Cause I love talking about names and pro athletes.
- 23:49Speaker 4: I mean, trace Mac.
- 23:50Speaker 3: All right. Is a great name. All right. Trace Mac.
- 23:53Speaker 4: Everybody know trace max full name.
- 23:54Speaker 3: I learned this last week.
- 23:56Speaker 4: All right. James Woodrow smack. I think he should have
- 23:59Speaker 4: stuck with Woody.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Woody Smack? Are you kidding me right now? That's good.
- 24:03Speaker 3: Have you tried going through high school with that being
- 24:05Speaker 3: your name? Hey, and when you start kicking balls. Smacking
- 24:07Speaker 3: the Woody, dude? What are we doing over here? You
- 24:10Speaker 3: can't be rolling that. That's an adult film name, Armin. Like, what?
- 24:16Speaker 3: He's not even taking his pet in the street that
- 24:18Speaker 3: he grew up on. Oh, my God. That's classic.
- 24:22Speaker 7: So this is a dumb question from a non-Packers fan. Okay,
- 24:25Speaker 7: is he Trey because of field goals or three?
- 24:28Speaker 3: No, he's the third. He's the third.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Anybody who's the third becomes a Trey.
- 24:32Speaker 4: You don't think his parents thought of Woodrow in 2000
- 24:36Speaker 4: and whatever, do you?
- 24:37Speaker 3: Woodrow Smack. Yeah, yeah. Woody Smack, that's an adult film. That's, yeah.
- 24:42Speaker 1: You can't be. People are panting that. Big money to
- 24:45Speaker 1: be able to utilize that one in the industry.
- 24:47Speaker 4: Best kicker ever named after a former president, though?
- 24:51Speaker 3: Just kidding. Hey, you got to have a little fun.
- 24:54Speaker 6: What about Chester Arthur, Chester Markle? There you go. That
- 24:58Speaker 6: might be a win right there. Well, I agree with
- 25:00Speaker 6: you guys. It is kind of a porn star name,
- 25:01Speaker 6: but I'm going to stick with it for a while.
- 25:03Speaker 6: I'm going to try and make Woody Smack stick.
- 25:05Speaker 3: We'll see what happens. My nephew has a cat named
- 25:07Speaker 3: Chester Arthur. Oh, that's good.
- 25:10Speaker 4: Oh, Chester Cat.
- 25:12Speaker 3: You name your dog or cat after a human name,
- 25:14Speaker 3: I'm a fan.
- 25:15Speaker 4: Yes.
- 25:16Speaker 3: I'm always going to be a fan of that one.
- 25:17Speaker 7: I see where Leo made the top five cat names
- 25:20Speaker 7: according to some list.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Popular name. Yeah.
- 25:24Speaker 1: Yeah, the human names for the puppies, they're quite popular. Yeah,
- 25:28Speaker 1: ours is Opal, as a matter of fact. Opal was
- 25:31Speaker 1: in the office yesterday.
- 25:32Speaker 3: We weren't here. She was? I missed Opal. Opal had
- 25:35Speaker 3: a vet visit down the street, so I ran her
- 25:36Speaker 3: over here to iHeart. Your dog to work day. Yeah,
- 25:39Speaker 3: it was cool. She loved it. I think everybody else did, too.
- 25:41Speaker 3: She had a good time. She didn't pee on the floor,
- 25:43Speaker 3: which is nice. That's a win. That's a huge win.
- 25:45Speaker 3: That's why we can't bring the one-year-old in here. It's
- 25:48Speaker 3: just ridiculous. It's just everywhere.
- 25:50Speaker 4: Well, I remember when Fred Jackson was first in here,
- 25:53Speaker 4: and that's a wild one. Fred, the Shannon's dog.
- 25:55Speaker 3: Scared the prospector. Yeah. Got the company-wide email. Oh, my goodness. Oh, yeah.
- 26:01Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness.
- 26:02Speaker 3: There's an animal. There's an animal in there. And he
- 26:05Speaker 3: ran loose. There's an animal in there.
- 26:08Speaker 4: He ran like Fred Jackson.
- 26:09Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 26:10Speaker 4: That dog ran like Fred Jackson.
- 26:11Speaker 3: He still does, yeah. Fred's an athlete for sure. I
- 26:14Speaker 3: like Fred.
- 26:15Speaker 4: Fred was always friendly. I like when he's around the
- 26:17Speaker 4: hallways and stuff. That's pretty cool. We haven't seen Jet,
- 26:21Speaker 4: I don't think.
- 26:22Speaker 3: Not in a while, no, a couple years. By the way,
- 26:24Speaker 3: Fred Jackson, not to get back to Iowa football, but
- 26:26Speaker 3: Fred Jackson's son? is a horse, man. He's a running
- 26:29Speaker 3: back at Iowa. Oh, man. Yeah, he's a track star.
- 26:33Speaker 3: He had a couple tutties on Saturday. Brayden, right? Brayden Jackson, yeah.
- 26:36Speaker 7: He can absolutely fly, and I'm excited to watch him
- 26:39Speaker 7: for the next game.
- 26:40Speaker 2: They've got enough backs now. I like this Moulton kid.
- 26:42Speaker 2: I didn't realize he was going to be a three-touchdown
- 26:44Speaker 2: kid in a game. I'm not a big fan of
- 26:47Speaker 2: how well they're playing on offense. You mentioned the sun
- 26:51Speaker 2: will be setting.
- 26:51Speaker 1: It's a 5 o'clock kick East Coast time for the
- 26:54Speaker 1: Badgers in State College. What's the spread in that game now?
- 26:58Speaker 1: Is it 10, 11? It was at nine and a
- 27:00Speaker 1: half yesterday.
- 27:01Speaker 2: It will go on in a little bit more into
- 27:02Speaker 2: the direction towards Bucky, but we got to go to
- 27:05Speaker 2: different institutions and find that one.
- 27:07Speaker 3: Well, all right.
- 27:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 27:07Speaker 3: It's like, well, that'd be a nice dub. Yeah.
- 27:09Speaker 7: Teams are still, you know, this is the big 10
- 27:11Speaker 7: opener for both teams. Teams are still trying to feel
- 27:13Speaker 7: their way around at this point of the season. You
- 27:16Speaker 7: see a lot of progress made. And you're really kidding.
- 27:18Speaker 7: Now you're originally, you're thinking, well, you know, Notre Dame
- 27:20Speaker 7: is stacked and that, that loss, that one got away,
- 27:22Speaker 7: but Wisconsin was in that game into the third quarter.
- 27:26Speaker 7: And then things went to South because of turnovers and
- 27:28Speaker 7: other things. But you look at Penn state, they really
- 27:31Speaker 7: haven't been tested this year.
- 27:32Speaker 3: Who have they played? What's their toughest.
- 27:35Speaker 2: Marshall, Buffalo and temple. And the temple game was on
- 27:39Speaker 2: the road. And that being Lincoln financials field, where it
- 27:42Speaker 2: was mostly Penn state alums in that spot.
- 27:45Speaker 3: And I think that game was like a, seven or
- 27:48Speaker 3: eight point game at half. Okay. And it was kind
- 27:49Speaker 3: of a slog early. So they've played well.
- 27:52Speaker 2: They've definitely pulled away from teams, but they're the, they're
- 27:55Speaker 2: one of the biggest case studies and the ones that
- 27:58Speaker 2: you're seeing, everybody trying the Signetti modeling college football. Don't
- 28:01Speaker 2: only get the coach, but so when you let us
- 28:05Speaker 2: know what quarterback are you bringing and how many of
- 28:07Speaker 2: those kids on that team are you bringing? How many
- 28:08Speaker 2: of your North Texas guys are you bringing to Oklahoma state?
- 28:11Speaker 2: And for him, it was Rocco Beck, who's played for
- 28:14Speaker 2: three years at Iowa State.
- 28:15Speaker 3: He's a really good quarterback.
- 28:16Speaker 2: And a number of different guys. Carson Hanson, their number
- 28:18Speaker 2: one running back at Penn State, too. Badgers got their second, though.
- 28:22Speaker 3: They did.
- 28:22Speaker 1: And Abu Sama might be having some for that guy.
- 28:24Speaker 1: I think he's the better one after watching him the
- 28:26Speaker 1: last couple of years.
- 28:27Speaker 3: I'm with you. Speed for days.
- 28:29Speaker 2: So I'm excited. It's going to be a fun game
- 28:30Speaker 2: to be able to see. And just happy Valley.
- 28:33Speaker 4: Just.
- 28:34Speaker 3: Give them a little bit of.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Frustration that fan base is they want to be very
- 28:39Speaker 2: excited but you want to talk about one that will
- 28:41Speaker 2: be consternated very quickly and frustrated very quickly it is
- 28:45Speaker 2: always Penn.
- 28:46Speaker 1: State just ask James Franklin So if that game kicks
- 28:48Speaker 1: five o'clock, it'll be getting dark towards the end.
- 28:51Speaker 3: It'll be majestic. It should be cool shots.
- 28:53Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 28:54Speaker 3: That's not really a night game there.
- 28:55Speaker 1: It's kind of in between because night games there have
- 28:57Speaker 1: a different vibe.
- 28:58Speaker 3: That's a good point, Drew.
- 28:59Speaker 2: It's not going to be the full whiteout effect that
- 29:01Speaker 2: you get for the night game, but it'll be damn close.
- 29:04Speaker 3: It'll be close.
- 29:04Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Golden hour. Roll right through into it. Golden hour.
- 29:07Speaker 7: It's going to be majestic on TV. And this is
- 29:09Speaker 7: the time where we start thinking about our games and scheduling. Now, tonight,
- 29:12Speaker 7: for example, Brewers first pitch is five.
- 29:15Speaker 4: Yeah the equinox is here yeah so that game pitches
- 29:18Speaker 4: five that game might be over by kickoff might be
- 29:22Speaker 4: it'd be close it could be but like there's uh
- 29:25Speaker 4: that's the tough part here dolphin one of the reasons
- 29:27Speaker 4: why pot of water sports books a great place for
- 29:29Speaker 4: a thursday night yes is otherwise you're gonna be sitting
- 29:32Speaker 4: there eighth.
- 29:32Speaker 2: Inning and you're gonna have to decide am i gonna
- 29:34Speaker 2: be flipping this out of cable to prime uh app
- 29:38Speaker 2: every single time here am i just gonna land lock
- 29:40Speaker 2: myself on the football game or the brewers.
- 29:42Speaker 7: Places like the sportsbook are gonna be a must and
- 29:43Speaker 7: we mentioned last week if the brewers win one playoff
- 29:46Speaker 7: series that nlcs is gonna run into packers bears And
- 29:50Speaker 7: chances are really good they're going to be on at
- 29:51Speaker 7: the same time because we already know Packers-Bears is a
- 29:53Speaker 7: 325 game.
- 29:55Speaker 3: 325 game, yep. It's right in the middle.
- 29:57Speaker 2: And that Packers-Cowboys game the next week is going to
- 30:00Speaker 2: be right there in line with one of those games
- 30:01Speaker 2: as well.
- 30:02Speaker 3: And that's 720-720 kick.
- 30:02Speaker 1: We're going to have some delicious conflict cooking it. I
- 30:07Speaker 1: do remember a Brewers-Badgers doubleheader Saturday afternoon. Early Brewers playoff game,
- 30:14Speaker 1: and then I went to Lambeau for the night game.
- 30:16Speaker 3: Oh, I like that.
- 30:17Speaker 2: I like that one a lot better than the doubleheader
- 30:19Speaker 2: of the Badgers and Brewers that we got last year.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Because that was when the Brewers played the Cubs in
- 30:24Speaker 2: game five.
- 30:25Speaker 3: That's right. That's right. Iowa. Oh, boy. One of those
- 30:27Speaker 3: results was awesome. One of those results was phenomenal. I
- 30:31Speaker 3: won't ask you which one.
- 30:34Speaker 1: What was awesome was Matt LaPay missing a call for
- 30:36Speaker 1: the first time in his career and saying, I'm sorry,
- 30:38Speaker 1: I was watching the brewery.
- 30:38Speaker 3: Sorry, I was watching the brewery. He's the best. What
- 30:41Speaker 3: are you going to do, Taush yell at me? What
- 30:43Speaker 3: are you going to do? He channeled his inner Harry
- 30:47Speaker 3: Doyle on that one. Mike Witt had a question for Dolph.
- 30:50Speaker 4: Well, first he said, I can't wait until Hobby Week
- 30:51Speaker 4: in Iowa, Wisconsin. Mike Witt said, just bought two tickets
- 30:56Speaker 4: to Kenny Chesney and Eric Church at AmFam in July.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Any advice, Dolph? Enjoy it? I don't know. What would
- 31:01Speaker 3: you say? Make a day of it, Mike.
- 31:03Speaker 7: Tailgating is just like it is at Brewer's opening day
- 31:06Speaker 7: when Chesney is in town.
- 31:07Speaker 3: The parking lots are packed. It's festive. People are throwing
- 31:10Speaker 3: beers to you. Here, have a beer. They don't care
- 31:12Speaker 3: where you're from.
- 31:13Speaker 4: Pirate flags and stuff.
- 31:14Speaker 7: Pirate flags everywhere. You see a lot of blue chair
- 31:16Speaker 7: bay rum. floating around that's kenny's brand no.
- 31:20Speaker 4: Shoes nation will be out in full force is.
- 31:21Speaker 1: That oh yeah and then cheryl crowe is i was
- 31:24Speaker 1: gonna say my advice would be get in early because
- 31:26Speaker 1: there's some pretty good music on the front oh yeah
- 31:29Speaker 1: so you got to get your time your your uh you.
- 31:31Speaker 2: Know yeah i was gonna say that's the tough thing
- 31:33Speaker 2: about the full day deal because you are gonna want
- 31:35Speaker 2: to get in for that one a decent decent amount
- 31:37Speaker 2: early so you do have to i know it's not
- 31:39Speaker 2: a fun thing to throw in there but wojo does
- 31:41Speaker 2: always let us know You got to mix in the
- 31:43Speaker 2: water depending on where that temperature.
- 31:44Speaker 3: Is going to be at. Absolutely.
- 31:45Speaker 1: I was at the Farm Aid show at American Family Field,
- 31:48Speaker 1: and it's a hazy memory for many reasons, but I
- 31:51Speaker 1: know I left early. But I don't remember what I saw.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Not much that stands out to me of that day.
- 31:58Speaker 1: It's kind of a blur.
- 31:59Speaker 3: Did you see Kenny Chesney? Do you remember seeing him?
- 32:01Speaker 3: He was on fairly early that day. I think I
- 32:03Speaker 3: saw him, yes. Who headlined that show? Do you remember? Mellencamp.
- 32:06Speaker 3: He used to do all the Farm Aids. No, I
- 32:08Speaker 3: don't think. Well, Dave Matthews, I think, was on that show,
- 32:10Speaker 3: wasn't he? Dave Matthews was on that show. And then
- 32:12Speaker 3: you get Willie and Neil Young.
- 32:13Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 32:13Speaker 3: I can't imagine why I can't remember.
- 32:14Speaker 4: That's... Willie Neil Young.
- 32:18Speaker 3: I know. I know. It's a blur. Were you helping
- 32:20Speaker 3: the crops? Were you helping the farm? There's a back
- 32:22Speaker 3: story there. Try to make a joke. It's just for
- 32:24Speaker 3: off the air.
- 32:24Speaker 7: There's a back story. Farm Aid, I think, is that
- 32:26Speaker 7: this weekend? It's usually right around now, right? Now there's
- 32:28Speaker 7: a Nor'easter, so it's like, who knows?
- 32:30Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 32:31Speaker 3: That's not good.
- 32:32Speaker 7: And by the way, is anybody going to watch golf
- 32:33Speaker 7: this weekend? It's the President's Cup starting today at Medina.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Nobody cares. No. No. They ruined the PGA Tour.
- 32:42Speaker 1: And this is, again, like where, you know, Armin and
- 32:44Speaker 1: I get in this with his tennis open. Move your
- 32:48Speaker 1: sports away from football season because then we can pay
- 32:51Speaker 1: attention to them. You know when I would love to
- 32:54Speaker 1: be overtly patriotic and scream at the Europeans that we're better?
- 32:59Speaker 3: In the middle of August.
- 33:00Speaker 1: When I could watch this, but now this being right
- 33:02Speaker 1: in the middle of football season, there's no chance that
- 33:04Speaker 1: I can.
- 33:05Speaker 3: And I can't scream about how much better America should be.
- 33:08Speaker 7: We'll at least DVR, we'll at least cock an eye
- 33:11Speaker 7: that way during the Ryder Cup, right?
- 33:13Speaker 3: Yes, 100%. Not during the President's Cup. You can only
- 33:15Speaker 3: watch so much.
- 33:17Speaker 2: We've lost the Ryder Cup a couple of times, so
- 33:19Speaker 2: maybe we just start really dialing into the President's Cup
- 33:22Speaker 2: because we can win that one.
- 33:23Speaker 7: Apparently, we've also lost the President's Cup. They said they're
- 33:26Speaker 7: going for their 11th straight win. in the President's Cup,
- 33:29Speaker 7: which means you're probably thinking back to, I don't know,
- 33:31Speaker 7: when Jason Day was one of the top golfers in
- 33:34Speaker 7: the world.
- 33:34Speaker 3: Maybe they beat us at that point. This is everybody
- 33:36Speaker 3: else besides Europe, right? Like the whole world, right?
- 33:40Speaker 7: The cat from South Africa won the British Open this year.
- 33:43Speaker 7: So there's some talent over there.
- 33:44Speaker 3: Matsuyama.
- 33:45Speaker 7: But, I mean, seven of the top ten golfers in
- 33:49Speaker 7: the world are Americans, and they're all playing in the
- 33:50Speaker 7: President's Cup, led by Scheffler.
- 33:52Speaker 3: This shouldn't be a match.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Scheffler was on a part of my take, and he
- 33:55Speaker 2: was hilarious talking about how much he– He might not
- 33:59Speaker 2: love this either because he is a football fan.
- 34:02Speaker 3: And he's like, we need to get this golf out
- 34:04Speaker 3: of the way of football season. Hook them horns, right?
- 34:06Speaker 2: I need to be watching Texas and I need to
- 34:07Speaker 2: be watching the Dallas Cowboys and having them break my
- 34:09Speaker 2: heart every single Sunday.
- 34:10Speaker 7: Nice.
- 34:11Speaker 4: I'm going to defend myself a bit. At least I
- 34:12Speaker 4: don't expect anyone to watch tennis like these golf guys do.
- 34:15Speaker 6: All right.
- 34:15Speaker 3: That's all.
- 34:16Speaker 1: Are you going to watch the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and
- 34:18Speaker 1: the Formula One?
- 34:19Speaker 4: I absolutely will not watch anything happening in that country.
- 34:22Speaker 3: I didn't think so.
- 34:22Speaker 4: Oh.
- 34:23Speaker 6: F1.
- 34:23Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? I didn't think you would. Yeah, right.
- 34:26Speaker 3: Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Don't get me started. It's about to end.
- 34:30Speaker 3: Mark Richards, who's now the public address announcer. Yeah.
- 34:34Speaker 7: He was in our building for a long time here.
- 34:35Speaker 7: And he'd always come in. You're getting up at 5
- 34:37Speaker 7: o'clock tomorrow morning. I'm like, why would I do that?
- 34:39Speaker 7: I'm up at 5 o'clock this morning.
- 34:40Speaker 3: F1, baby, it's Monica. I'm like, oh, okay, thanks for
- 34:44Speaker 3: the reminder. He was obsessed with F1.
- 34:46Speaker 2: So he was into F1 before it was cool.
- 34:49Speaker 3: Is what I'm hearing. Before the Netflix show.
- 34:52Speaker 4: He also never took his IP. I walk around hanging
- 34:54Speaker 4: from his ear all the time.
- 34:56Speaker 7: That fires me up. I see him at the press
- 34:59Speaker 7: box on the regular. Oh, yeah, well, tell him I
- 35:00Speaker 7: said hello and that I'm still not watching F1.
- 35:02Speaker 1: I'll tell him. I will absolutely tell him. I'm going
- 35:04Speaker 1: to see him on Friday night. He's a good guy.
- 35:06Speaker 3: I like him. I'll tell him that. All right. Speaking
- 35:09Speaker 3: of PA announcers, the Lakers guy. Oh, man. What a legend.
- 35:12Speaker 3: Most iconic voices in sports.
- 35:16Speaker 7: Everybody only knew him by his initials for the most part.
- 35:19Speaker 7: I've come to think of what his name was. This
- 35:21Speaker 7: dude was there for the Showtime Lakers in the 80s
- 35:24Speaker 7: and did every game up until the end of this
- 35:26Speaker 7: past season, 76 years old.
- 35:28Speaker 3: He was hanging with the Jack Nicholson's of the world.
- 35:32Speaker 1: And he was as big a star in the forum
- 35:34Speaker 1: and the Staples Center as anybody.
- 35:36Speaker 3: Came through radio, too, by the way. Long-time L.A. radio guy.
- 35:39Speaker 3: That's awesome. 43 seasons. Yeah, how about that? Amazing. Think
- 35:42Speaker 3: about those 80s. Showtime Lakers.
- 35:44Speaker 1: How long has Eric Jensen been in the chair? He's
- 35:46Speaker 1: the ranking guy right now. He's been with the Bucs
- 35:48Speaker 1: since the Bradley Center days, I think.
- 35:49Speaker 3: That's a great point. Him and the dude in.
- 35:53Speaker 2: cleveland who i've been listening to basically my entire life
- 35:56Speaker 2: with lebron i feel like those are the longest reigning
- 35:58Speaker 2: guys in those chairs.
- 35:59Speaker 4: Those are the guys that really will stay i mean
- 36:01Speaker 4: even sometimes longer than team broadcasters because they move on
- 36:04Speaker 4: but those guys are stalwarts i mean it's true before
- 36:06Speaker 4: eric it was jack gallo right and that was it
- 36:08Speaker 4: jack gallo and eric johnson i think unless there was
- 36:10Speaker 4: somebody in between i don't realize or i don't.
- 36:12Speaker 3: Think there was i think that might have been.
- 36:13Speaker 4: It you know market fans like jackie bowski did it
- 36:16Speaker 4: might take so long.
- 36:17Speaker 3: Yeah Interesting stuff. Dolph, thanks for popping in. Appreciate it.
- 36:21Speaker 4: All right.
- 36:21Speaker 3: Have fun tonight, fellas. Yeah. Probably see you tomorrow. What's
- 36:24Speaker 3: left of us. We'll see you. Yes, sir.
- 36:26Speaker 4: Good.
- 36:26Speaker 3: It's going to be fun. All right. When we come back,
- 36:28Speaker 3: Billy's going to have some investment advice for us. Brought
- 36:30Speaker 3: to us by Pottawatomie Sportsbook. On the line. I'm ready
- 36:34Speaker 3: to roll. And I got some winners, winners, winners. Let's go.
- 36:37Speaker 3: You're in the huddle.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew, Billy, and Armin bringing it
- 36:54Speaker 1: to you. Game day in the good land. Packers and
- 36:57Speaker 1: Falcons tonight. Or as Dan Needles used to say, Flackens.
- 37:01Speaker 3: They're ready to rock. His favorite mistyping was Flackens and Gynats. Oh, God.
- 37:09Speaker 2: Every single year. It would fire one up, Billy. Let's
- 37:11Speaker 2: let's go behind the lines.
- 37:13Speaker 3: Shall we? Or let's flip the line. Let's find you
- 37:16Speaker 3: a beat on the line.
- 37:18Speaker 2: As you try to beat the book over at the
- 37:20Speaker 2: Pottawatomie sports book bet above the rest, your sport, their
- 37:24Speaker 2: stadium over at Pottawatomie sports book, the best place to
- 37:27Speaker 2: go here. For a day where the Packers take on
- 37:31Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons and the number sits at 43 in
- 37:35Speaker 2: terms of total points. Now, a little bit of juice
- 37:38Speaker 2: towards the under. One of the reasons why, because people
- 37:41Speaker 2: are always going to want to bet the over life's
- 37:43Speaker 2: too short to bet the over at 43. One of
- 37:45Speaker 2: the chorus numbers and most common final scores results right
- 37:49Speaker 2: around 41 to 44 sits 43. squarely in the middle.
- 37:54Speaker 2: I like the under here tonight. I think both teams
- 37:56Speaker 2: struggle to be with long standing drives. I don't think
- 38:01Speaker 2: the Falcons defense is all that great. However, they have
- 38:05Speaker 2: been bit last week. They had two picks one for
- 38:09Speaker 2: six against Carolina and it looked a lot worse than
- 38:12Speaker 2: it actually was. I think in the 40 34 to
- 38:15Speaker 2: three game for their defense, I think the Packers defense
- 38:17Speaker 2: is their best and strongest unit. I like the under 43.
- 38:20Speaker 2: I do like the Packers laying the five, even though
- 38:23Speaker 2: it is a little bit of a square number. Drew,
- 38:24Speaker 2: you mentioned it that a large number of the money, 73%
- 38:27Speaker 2: that certain books is on the Falcons while only 20
- 38:31Speaker 2: plus percent of the bets are being on the Falcons.
- 38:33Speaker 2: That means the biggest money betters, generally what they like
- 38:37Speaker 2: to call the sharp betters, like the Falcons with the value.
- 38:41Speaker 2: They can run the football and B. John Robinson has
- 38:43Speaker 2: ran it and touched it a ton. Packers are going
- 38:46Speaker 2: to have to show that they can stop him. I
- 38:48Speaker 2: do like B. John Robinson's over on rushing and receiving
- 38:52Speaker 2: yards right now where he's At the Pottawatomie Sportsbook, it
- 38:54Speaker 2: looks like 125 and a half, mostly because he's had
- 38:58Speaker 2: 263 over two games, and they've had no complimentary offense.
- 39:02Speaker 2: They give anybody else with him, they're going to give
- 39:05Speaker 2: him the ball 25 times tonight, and he's going to
- 39:08Speaker 2: have every opportunity to hit that number.
- 39:09Speaker 4: He'll get that value. There's no question, right, Billy? And
- 39:12Speaker 4: I think it's interesting also to see what the Packers
- 39:15Speaker 4: running game will do because they've had notorious struggles. First
- 39:18Speaker 4: couple of weeks and there's some value there.
- 39:19Speaker 2: They don't necessarily, nobody knows for sure, but I think
- 39:23Speaker 2: a interesting line to watch would be the rushing yards
- 39:27Speaker 2: for the Packers, the offerings. are more towards Caleb Johnson
- 39:31Speaker 2: than Marshawn Lloyd.
- 39:32Speaker 3: Interesting.
- 39:33Speaker 2: They actually, Chris Brooks had more plays and more snaps
- 39:38Speaker 2: in New York and Caleb Johnson and Marshawn Lloyd actually
- 39:42Speaker 2: snapped the the exact same amount of times on scrimmage plays.
- 39:46Speaker 2: So it feels like Johnson is trending, Drew, in the
- 39:50Speaker 2: direction of kind of taking over as the first and
- 39:52Speaker 2: second down back and maybe Marshawn Lloyd a little bit
- 39:54Speaker 2: of a change of pace and maybe it's a little
- 39:56Speaker 2: bit more of an even split. They have, for rushing yards,
- 40:00Speaker 2: Marshawn Lloyd at minus 200 to just get 20-plus. His
- 40:03Speaker 2: over-under on rushing yards sits at 24.5. Caleb Johnson, 37.5.
- 40:09Speaker 2: Folks at Pottawatomie Sportsbook are expecting Caleb Johnson to run
- 40:11Speaker 2: the football a lot more here tonight.
- 40:13Speaker 3: And so am I.
- 40:14Speaker 2: I like that over 37 and a half. He showed
- 40:16Speaker 2: some burst. And I think you get a little bit
- 40:18Speaker 2: of wiggle with number 26.
