  Speaker 1: Oh my god, this man's been on all nine armand sorry,

  Speaker 1: we're reading.

  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin is on the.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Air, dominating a Thursday in the good Land, Drew billion
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: arm and it's the huddle of Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: nine twenty Milwaukee, ten seventy medison worldwide in the iheard
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: app streaming live, Facebook, YouTube and expert early Risers, insomniac
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: sociopaths and friends of the program, five o'clock clubbers, everybody
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: else who's huddled around at seven a m. On a Thursday.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Brewers beating the Reds last night. We'll talk about that
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: with Hunter Bombgart coming up. Still processing the Bucks moves
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and Bucks moves to come. Someone was asking me and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: did you see the Someone asked us before about the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Jannis murrel, which is not coming down anytime soon, according
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to the owner of the building, the PR firm that's there.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: They're keeping it, which I think is appropriate. I think
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I think it's appropriate.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I think it's the right side, even though it's going
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: to be a little bit different and strange than other places.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: No doubt, no doubt. Now people are still treating it
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: with respect to going and get photos and stuff, and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: this feels a little different than the exits of Brett
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: fav and Aaron Rodgers and others. I would agree with that,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a little different. Yes, it was a different than the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Craig Council loss, which stung so many, And that was
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a surprising one. That's the difference.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: I think the other ones you maybe could have seen,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: maybe not bright, but the rest you could see coming
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: the council when you didn't the honest one you did right,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: A lot of the.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Honest one you did prepare it for it. But what
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: if Craig had gone to Cleveland or New York. That's
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the thing.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: The anger with Counsel was simply because it was the
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: coups like it didn't many And.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: That's what I don't get intellectually, Like he could have
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: left to go somewhere else to take the money, but
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: instead he went right to our rival. And it's like, well,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: what what's isn't that like very ses? Yeah, it's like,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, he could have gone to New York to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: work with David Stearns, who he's worked with before and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: who he likes. Thet would be better off.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but you know fans are going to
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: take that personally true. I mean, that's the way that
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: I hate that team. Now you're a part of that team,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: so now we hate you. Like I think that's about
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: the easiest, easiest reasoning for it. But like if he
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: would have went to again the Guardians, it would have
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: been probably more of a tip of the cap and
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: hey they got he got a contract, good for him.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: And there was also like the belief that he was
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: going to go to New York for a long time.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Much like Giannis the belief was he was going to
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: go to Miami for for quite.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Some time time. This one is sadder than the far
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: of one.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Now you're also talking to somebody that as a pear
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: shaped youth, I think a fifth or sixth grader at
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: the time, cried when I found out that Brett Fire
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: retired for the first time. Yeah, now that was a
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: year and a half before he suited up for the Vikings.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: So like there was a long, long build there, they
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: also were coming off the heels of Now this is tough.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I was born in ninety four, so I don't necessarily
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: remember the three MVP years. He was coming off the
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: best year of his career that I had seen personally,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: right of like a like cognizant mind in O seven
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: and how good the Packers were for it to then
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: be right after that made it even tougher to swallow
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: at that point, like if the Bucks had just gotten
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: bounced by the Nicks in seven games and then Giannis
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: was flipped to Miami, there would be a lot more
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: venom and anger. I think at this exact moment, you're
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: right then with that one, which felt like wait a second, no, no, no,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: you still got good football and you're not gonna play year,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna play at all. You're gonna play it
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: better be in this this uniform. That's why we're getting
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: bring back Brett signs and you know posters and websites.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Right because you're ran on the cusp, right, You're you're
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: a an overtime away from a they had the ball
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: in overtime at home to go to the super Bowl.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: So you're thinking, with the year you had the researching,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: how close we were, You're gonna retire now. That's that
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: was the depressed last pass is gonna be a pick
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: and nobody knew what Aaron was gonna bring. That was
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: the depressing part. And then it was like he might
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: come back there was excitement for some because the thought
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: was like, this is great, We're gonna be the favorites
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: in the NFC.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: And then it was like, wait a minute, what's going.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: On here in the Aaron Rodgers Obviously nothing, we'll match
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: that saga, but you're right, the Bucks were nowhere near close.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: It was unraveling for a while. But I think for.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Fans there's a sense of you want your great players.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: You deep down somewhere inside you, you want them to
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: know or you want to think to yourself that there
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: they believe, that they feel they're more than a mercenary,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: that they feel what you feel, They desire what you desire,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: They love what you love, which is, you know, genuine
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: loyalty to the city, to the team, that they actually
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: love that and a lot of times it's just not
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: the case. For players. It's it's very rare for that
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: to happen. But we still look for that unicorn that's
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: a great player and also feels that. I think fans
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: around here for a long time thought Yannis was that guy,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: and then he was a great player, brought a championship,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: but the dream that he would be loyal to the
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Bucks above all else, even in the worst situations, the
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: worst team, maybe the coach he didn't want it, maybe
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: uncomfortable situations that he would never change and no matter what,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: love the team so much and he would never want leave.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Like many fans feel lifelong loyalty. That wasn't the case,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: and that hurts. That hurts for fans. You know, you
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: always want to believe that they're like you know, Robin.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: We believe that with Robin Young, even when Mahler left,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: like the idea that he didn't really want to leave,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: and he wore nineteen for Robin Young when he was
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: in Toronto and he still put a Brewer's cap on
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame. Fans desired that so much, to
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: believe that their favorite player, their star, is not just
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: a mercenary, that there's someone that feels what you feel
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: and loves what you love. And I think that's the
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: part that hurts with Giannismore and anything is there was
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: a thought and a dream that that was the guy,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: and every indication showed.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: You he would always be that guy.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: But people change and it's normal and circumstances change.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: He always said, I'll be in Milwaukee. I love Milwaukee
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: as long as we have a chance to compete for
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a title. Yeah, and I know people are equipping and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: that's you know, And to me, it's like, then he's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: thirty one and he's got like a three year window
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to chase a ring and play it level and the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Bucks aren't on schedule to win in three years right now.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: But Drew, I also think like the part of that
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: is also trying to turn a blind eye to the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: fact that he was complicit or also part of the
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: reason why they found themselves in this spot, right So,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: like I think that's the well, you demanded we do this,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: you demand we do this, you demand we do this.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Now we're in the tough spot, and now you want
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: to go like that, I think is where it becomes
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: more painful. Justin in North Carolina at eight seven seven seven,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: nine four one nine seven three texted in Giannis is
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: worse because he built his entire career off not being
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: that guy. But the truth from the Jimmy opiece is
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: that he was that guy.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: But a lot worse.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: The tough thing of the worst one is I and
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I saw some people saying like he didn't know how
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: to make demand. Goddess knew exactly how to make demands,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: and he was doing it partially, but I do believe
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: there's something too, not wanting to be feeling like you
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: might be the bad guy, not wanting to necessarily be
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the bad guy, but then also like if you're if
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: you're ten toes down on, this is my organization, my team,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna have some say then when it doesn't go right,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: you gotta double down and still be there. And it
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: seemed like drew from my accounts of the Jimmy opiece,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: it felt like he thought, Okay, I maybe over step
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: my bounds a tick with the Griffin one. Maybe I
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: was a part of that one. Now I am gonna
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: go hands on. I'll let you guys figure this out.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I'll let you get But at that point, now, I mean,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: you're in the mix, you made this known, you want
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: to be in the mix. Now that it didn't go well,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: you're gonna help us figure this thing out. And it
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: felt like at that point it was, well, that's not
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: necessarily my decision.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Is that fair?
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Like that That's how I read it, That's how it
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: seemed of I'll put my two cents in, but if
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: it doesn't go right, then I'm gonna step back where
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: most star players. If it doesn't go right, let's get
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: back to the table and figure out how we're gonna
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: make this right. Let's figure out the next move that
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: we're all going to put together that is going to
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: write that wrong.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: And in the end, I think even in the ozar
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Ska article, you saw the point where he wanted to
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: try and wield more influence on doc and he could
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: have saved the books maybe a little bit if he did,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: but he then he became so worried about his image
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: doing that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: So that was a.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Driving force for him. He was so worried about what
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: people would think of him. He didn't want to be
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: that guy. But he's still deep down wanted to wield
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: the influence. So in that sense, there was a little
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: bit of double talk that instead of what you would
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: always say, you know, your agent would say it, but
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: then he would say, I didn't say it, it didn't
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: come from me, and I didn't ask for anything. But
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: instead it became the Greek leak, you know, where it
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: would just leak out like that a little bit.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And I think the.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Problem is that was distasteful for some Bucks fans that
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: didn't want it that way.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But let's be honest. They wouldn't have liked it either
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: if he came out and said it with his chest. Oh,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: very true.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: People say that I would have rather I used to
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: move been upset at that too. You would have been
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: up for the the most, you know, the most travel
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: of us Bucks fans. Anything more than Yana saying no
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: matter what, ride or die, I'm here, no matter what
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: I love, I'll do my best.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: That would have hurt us.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: So the Greek leak thing, I think when he became
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: that and when it started to dribble out, that's when
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: it started to be like, all right, well, unfortunately he
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: wants to wield the power.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe once upon a time he wouldn't have done this,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and you know he changed. If the Bucks had won
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: fifty and played in the conference semi finals last year,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: would he be leaving? Probably not no, but the situation
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: would have been better.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: But again, also, I mean his health and being able
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: to rest and allow yourself a lot, maybe a longer
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: time to get back onto the floor would have also up.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: But I'll be honest with you, Drew, it felt like
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: he was kind of checked out throughout the year last year.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean he didn't.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: It didn't seem it didn't seem like even when he
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: got on the floor and there.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Wasn't part of that as doc to and again that
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: was all like I go back to the Griffin higher,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: he had a championship ready team and he had like
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: one last run. We hired a guy who's never called
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a time out and he.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Was also he was a big part of that from
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: the from the Jimmy OPI he's he was a big
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: part of that and and part.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: He was a big part of getting bught out. But
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: he and Chris and Drew met with Griffin. The rumor
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: is that he was pushing for Griffin. I don't know
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: who was pushing for Adrian Griffin chef. That's what we like.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: There was a decent The word is that horse wanted
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: somebody else and that ownership pushed him to higher. Adrian Griffin.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I just think there's there are something then oh yeah,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: that's right, and.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Nature there are some things where it's like we believe,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: we don't believe how he could have changed, but it's
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: like most humans would go through these situations and when
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: they grow and they and when you reach a level
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: of fame and rich, I don't know. I just feel
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: like that's why I don't have as much anger, because
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: it doesn't surprise me that those changes could occur as
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: much as we didn't want them. And if you're asking
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: like why did Yiannis, we look checked out and well,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: the whole situation around you seems unseerious. If the front off,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: if if the coaching is un serious and the players
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: are un serious, and the situation is that way, then
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: you are gonna.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Start to Also, it's hard to find that we romanticize
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: other situations. But Robin you almost left a time or two, right,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and Bud kind of he wanted to play golf, the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: car whatever. Now that was a ruse. He held out because
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: he was hurt and hurting himself on a motorcycle. Didn't
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: want the team that was That was a ruse. But
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I mean Robin jon almost left and was talked in
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the staying he could have gone and played for the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Angels or somebody else. And uh, Kobe Bryant Vanessa was
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: looking at houses in Chicago. Put me in a Bulls
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Bulls jersey. You always bring that up. Put me in
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: a Bulls jersey. He was, so he was looking around.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: So even the athletes who stay in one city for
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the entire career, they get the wandering eye. I'm just saying,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: so that's like a natural, like they show me somebody.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know that anybody is is faulting it for
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: having a wandering eye.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: No, I don't. I don't know that that's the well.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: But again, what people fault is like you can't. To me,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it's like you can't. Well, he said he wanted to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: stay in Milwaukee, who loved the city, and then he left. Well,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: he still doesn't. He did want to stay in Milwaukee,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: he still does love the city. I don't believe he
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: wanted to stay in Milwaukee. I believe he did until
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: it went so far south that it turned so futrid
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: that he's like this, we can't win in the next
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: three years of my of where I'm going to be
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: pretty good, and then I'll be on the back slope.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: But so he did. But but he didn't because those things,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: when those things diverged, that's when he wanted out.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: But was he all in on helping them figure out
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: how they were going to compete for a championship.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I think he was until he saw how it was
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: completely helpless until it was and again that's what it was,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Arsky's pieces, all the steps along the way that made it,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you know, and again mostly just getting hurt in the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: playoffs and like trading well, trading Chris is that was
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: going to happen, but there were all these little uh
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: it was death by paper cut. It's never one thing
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: that that ends a marriage, like oh, the for the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: millionth time I've told you to put the plates in
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: facing this way instead of this way, and then it's like,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: oh that one last time. It was always it was
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: an erosion of many things. But so it's like did
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: he I think he was in it until until it
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: became I think he was in it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: I think he was in it until he started getting
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: backlash for it and then didn't want to be the
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: bad guy. So again like we I think we can
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: all have different different opinions on it, but like there
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: there's some of it where in joy and then when
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: when things didn't go the way we wanted to back up,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: like if you're gonna sit, And that's the saying it
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: with the chess part that I think is frustrating to some.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: It may have helped them out in the long run.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Again, though, like so like I'll talk both out of
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: both sides of my mouth here him not demanding I'm
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: going to Miami and nowhere else very publicly allowed them
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: to get more here at the end. But the wishy
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: washy nature of it, I think also allowed or bought
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: more of the idea of we can continue to push here,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: we get one more, we can say, hey, if we
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: do wave and stretch Miles Dame and then we get
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Miles Turner in here, then all of a sudden you
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: will be a part of it because you're gonna like
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: playing with Miles Turner. And that one quickly eroded. And
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know that that was the Buck's fault. I
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: think there's some more blame that would go towards thirty
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: four into that situation.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And how much are the Bucks relieved that this is over?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: And that's that they can because okay, like Freddy Peralta,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: how many people were pissed off that the Brewers couldn't
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: hang on to fastball Freddy. We love him, we love him.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: It's like they weren't going to pay them the money,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and they traded him a year early, got some stuff
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: for him, won the trade clearly right, and then like,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: and now he's not as he sagged a little bit.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Could this be like that too, where the Brewers, like
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the Brewers knew what they were doing, they have to
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: divorce themselves from sentiment and with knowing. Having Giannis on
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a non competitive team is a little bit like parking
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a Lamborghini outside your double wide. Well yeah, it's a
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: little bit like okay, putting up with with the diva
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: stuff and the money is like, it was time to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: move on for them too. That's why it's like the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: parting of the ways, like the things diverged. The Bucks
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: did everything they could to provide honest and the environment
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: to win and to stay here and be happy, and
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: it still wasn't enough.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: So they're like, I'm done. I'm done trying to lose
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: twenty sunk costs. Yes, it's a sunk cost, and it's
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: like we have to move on too. And so it's
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: like the idea that the Bucks please honest, please don't
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: go by the end, they're.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Like, okay, what can we get form? It's time to
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: move in a different right. We got a new coach,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: change in the culture, each.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Other, and then we know that it's not gonna happen
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: and that's where sometimes both sides will see that the
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: same thing in different ways, exactly different ways, because on
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: one hand, the moment you check out, and then because
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: you believe that they're ready to move on from you,
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: that's where you can say they weren't loyal to me.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: I'm saying Yannis in the end right and say he
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: was loyal either.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Then you know, when he's worried.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: About and talking about the the Luca deal from the
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Jimmy opiece of that really started to freak him out
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: that superstars could get traded. Brother, they called about you
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: and they said no, no, So like it's that to me,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: is like, well, they could.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Trade me any time.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: They tried to do the exact deal for you, and
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: they said no for a younger player who's offensively potentially
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: more uh more explosive at this particular moment, been on
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: the floor particular potentially more than you at this exact moment,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: just went to the finals. Like so, I we can
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: all see different ways, and everybody has their vantage of it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: But both sides I think got so set into their
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: ways again that they at the end of it ended
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: up hating each other.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: And that's a that's a tough spot to be in it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: And it seems like Billy when you say something like
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: that is true because they could train me anytime. That's see,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: that's a little disingenuous, when to your point didn't. So
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: that to me strikes me as someone that just wants
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: to argue themselves into the position they already want to
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: be in. Right like Jannison already wanted to feel the
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: way he wanted to feel, but that was his way
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: to cope with it and argue with himself about it.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And I think in the end, the worst.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Look for him is that is that Wolf of Wall
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Street posts like I'd never blanket leaving when you already knew,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: you had already engaged and talks about it. That one
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: really made you look like, Okay, you're just kind of
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: like you're being you're you're you're doing double talk here,
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: like you're being disingenuous. That in the end was probably
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: the worst one, because that's gonna make you look worse
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: if you if it comes out later on that you
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: already knew or you already thought about leaving and already
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: had it dissipated leaving and we're gonna through back channels
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: ask for it which we are learning is what happened.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: And I think that one is what makes fans feel like, well,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: after all these years, you posted that knowing this, like,
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: I feel manipulated. Now I feel like a fool. I
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: feel like you treated me like after we had this
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: relationship for so long, should we.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Be talking about a divorce or should we be talking
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: about a wedding?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: RM?
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And how excited is Lara to hear the rumors of
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: a July fourth weekend nuptials between Travis Chalcey and Taylor
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Swift at Madison Square Garden, where they apparently have rented
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the arena for July second through the fourth, expecting a
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: one hundred person gathering on the second and a thousand
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: people on the third. Crazy. Also a report that several
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: members of the Kansas City Chiefs have booked rooms at
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the Marriotte Marquee and we'll be staying in that. Amtrak
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: police officers have been told to expect a wedding and
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: a crowd around the arena of the weekend of July fourth.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Which is funny because there was always the rumor that
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: I was going to be private and no one who
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: know about it and stuff like that. Well, This is
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: pretty much not you know, the if you would have
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: read the most Famous Arena.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's exciting.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Although you know, there was always rumors and you never
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: know what to believe, but it seems like this could
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: be a possibility.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Big Red.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Andy Reid was asked earlier this month whether he'll be
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: attending the event. He said, I can't talk about it.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Somebody's talking.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: I can't talk about it, probably on NDA's That sounds silly,
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: but they probably.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: But somebody's talking about it because it's out that this
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: is going to happen.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: So it seemed like there were some people that are
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: trying to say there's no way they're going to do
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: it at Madison Square Guard.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: No, Yeah, they're doing it at MSG. Why that's awesome.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: We need something to root for.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: We're rooting for them the famous Arena and will uh
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: as Nick Wright has been saying on f S one
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: for a while that that Patrick Mahomes would be dancing
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: at Travis's wedding in the summer and starting for the
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Chiefs Week one and my one could be off the
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: list coming up next week he dancing there, I got
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: to assume he's playing Week one, right, like the Chiefs
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: are going to be in the midst.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Of all these primetime games.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: They don't think that he's going to be ready to
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: go week number one and Travis Kelcey one final year.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Heck of a way to start it up at MSG yehness. Definitely,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: when we come back, Hunter Bombuart's going to join us,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: we'll talk Brewers and Red's and ugly victory last night,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: but a gutty victory that is up next. You're in
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin dominating a Thursday. It's
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Drew billion Arman the huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. That's
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the time of the week when we were joined by
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: our pal, Hunter Bombguard, our boots on the ground, our
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: baseball go to guy, brought to us by Import Minded
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: and Hunter will be patrolling the airwaves this evening within
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee's Baseball Tonight, getting you ready, recapping the Brewer series
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: against the Reds and getting you ready for Brewers Cubs,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: which is what we want to do. Good morning, Hunter,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: thank you for joining us.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Absolutely.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this team's gonna be running a four game winning
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: streak into the weekend, and that's the kind of momentum
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: you want heading into a series against the Cubs.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Right, it's nice when you got a four game winning
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: streak and you're not playing well well, but well they
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: were until last night and late, but then doesn't seem
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: like they're playing well and Hunter that last night was
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: one of the uglier wins that you're going.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: To hang in the museum totally.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, that was one of those I'm not really sure
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: how they won that game, but they somehow did. And
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: that's that'll happen throughout the season. There's games that go
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: the other way, and they all kind of even out
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: when you look back at the season after one hundred
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: and sixty two, and last night was one where you're
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: sitting in that ninth inning, the Reds of the bases
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: loaded with one out, Koonell's throwing his thirtieth pitch and
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: you're like, I don't know about this. It just feels
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: like it's gonna go the Reds way there at home.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: They got the winning run in scoring position, but boy,
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: both teams were awful with runners in scoring position in
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: the series, and that you know.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: It ended how the series went.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: Right, the Reds were not able to capitalize I having
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: the bases loaded with one out, they get the double
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: play Cooper Pratt little bit of a little bit of
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: a bobble, but he's able to get the ball out
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: to Terrang and they they get the win in their
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: first sweep in Cincinnati since July of twenty twenty three.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: And for them to also, I mean the Reds get
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Ellie back in here. I know they've been missing that
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: bat in the lineup. He has not been kind to
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Brewers pitching in his career. Good to be able to
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: hold him down as well. But just from the standpoint
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: of not having your three top guys yesterday, you could
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: shock that up. As We'll let you know on Thursday
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: how we feel about the road trip. But with two
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: tough luck losses on Friday and Saturday, to come out
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: of here four and two and now have Joe Koonell
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: being one of your high leverage arms, maybe going I
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: don't know, that might be a definite maybe in that situation.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: But Hunter Drew and I've been talking. You need to
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: add something in that bullpen, whether it's Jared caning off
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: maybe the longest rehab assignment that I've seen in a
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: long in quite some time, whether it's Konell or one
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: to two pieces on the outside this month, you got
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: to figure out how many arms you need to have
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: going into the playoff race. It feels like they got
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: some answers there yesterday as who could and who couldn't.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: I mean there is a steep drop off right now
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: between your A bullpen and your B bullpen right there.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: You know, they both pitched.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: You know, the B bullpen was used against the Guardians
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: and the series finale last Thursday didn't go well. They
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: end up losing four to two, and yesterday it's used
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: again and they gave up four runs and then almost
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: lose it, but they somehow get out of there with
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: the six five victory.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: But yeah, they just were trying to find whoever could
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: have it. Last night.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Obviously McGill and Ashby were down. Your rebay was suspended,
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: so you were down to Patrick couldn't really find it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Grant Anderson definitely couldn't find it. Yoho got the one
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: pitch and got out of the jam in the seventh,
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: but couldn't find it really in the eighth, and then
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: Koonel was able to kind of be the star of
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: the evening. He wasn't great, I mean, he worked, he
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: was in traffic, but somehow was able to maneuver out
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: of it. And I think he is your one guy.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: You know, he's more of a veteran. He's been there,
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: done that. I think that helps. So he was the
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: one that kind of kind of get out of there.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: But you're right, I think Jered keeneg it sounds like
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: it's going to be back this weekend against the Cubs.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I would think he'll be activated.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: Tomorrow, and then you have Robert Gasser is actually going
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: to be available out of the bullpen this weekend as well. Now,
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Pat Murphy also said he hinted basically at the fact
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: that that's before Robert Gasser returns to the rotation. So
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: I'm wondering if he's maybe going to take this spot
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: a drow and I love drowing in the bullpen.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: He has a really good era out of the bullpen.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: So if I were to pick one of those two,
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: I would say, yeah, let's get Drown back in that
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: bullpen because I think he's more almost more of a
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: weapon there. I get you've needed a starter right when
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Brandon Woodriff was out. You needed to start it. But
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: if you're going to a five man rotation, I say
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: stick with Gasser in that rotation, put drown in the bullpen.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: It bolsters your bullpen at least for now, and then
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: I do see them making a trade for a bullpen
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: arm before the trade deadline on August third.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Talking to Hunter Bombguard, our Baseball go to Guy Okay, Well,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the Orthropedic Associates of Wisconsin injury report has Jared Canan
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: coming back, right, and so we were talking about him earlier.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: What do you expect his role to be in what
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: do you expect him. He's had a long rehab, like
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: eleven outings Billy in the minor leagueles. So Hunter, what
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: do you expect when he returns? What will his role be?
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: And how long will it take him to approach his
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: effectiveness from the last year or two.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: That's the thing you're looking to get back to that spot.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: He really hasn't been himself even in spring training and
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: then to start the year and now with the injury.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: So you're looking for maybe even that velocity to go
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: up a little bit as well. Pat Murphy said yesterday
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: before the game that he kind of he's hoping that
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: maybe the major league adrenaline and everything gets the velocity
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: up a little bit.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it will.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: That does for almost everybody, but I think it's not
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: necessarily going to be like him in a high leverage
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: seventh inning role, right you know, or the eighth inning
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: like we've seen in the past. Right away maybe, But look,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: they need lefties in that pen.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: So I think it is.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: You know, they have just Ashby right now, so you know,
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: you need a guy who's going to come out of
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: that pen. Obviously, Gas or if he's in the pen
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: this weekend, will be a lefty guy as well. But
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: you need a guy who can come in and put
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: out a fire. And Jeryck Kanig has been very good
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: at that and very good in those high leverage roles,
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: so I think he'll grow into that.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Will it be right away, not so sure.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Obviously, Aaron Ashby is your highest leverage lefty, and I
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: don't that's not going to change.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: He's not going to take Ashby's role.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: Ashby's vering unique in what he can do and pitch
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: a lot and pitch multiple innings and everything like that.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: So I think they'll work them in. If you know,
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: it'd be nice one of these games to get a
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: blowout win. I know they did on Sunday, and that
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: was obviously big. You just had Gasser and Patrick pitch
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: and that was big to save the bullpen for you
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: need them in the Red Series.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: So that's good that you're able to save him there.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: But man, it would be nice to get him kind
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: of acclimated back to the big leagues and maybe a
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: blowout type scenario where winning by a lot and it's
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: not a high leverage situation, but they may have no choice.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you have some lefties coming up in
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: the Cubs lineup, whatever it is this weekend, you might
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: see him in a spot where it's maybe a three
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: to one game Brewers lead and you need him in
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: the sixth or seventh or something like that. You may
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: not be able to help yourself, but I do think
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: he'll Hopefully, the hope is right you grow go back
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: into that role and you can be a guy when
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: maybe Ashby's down the rare days that Ashby can't pitch,
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: kN Nig is the guy who's the left do you
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: call upon in those middle innings in a leverage role.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: That's the hope. I don't know if it's right away,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: but hopefully that's where he gets to Hunter.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Do you think this team and maybe this is not
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: a great question for June, but what the heck, I'll
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: ask it anyway. When the thing I keep thinking, when
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: you talk about everybody, it's all true what you're talking about,
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: and the depth and the embarrassment of riches it seems
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: the Brewers have and pitching and options and how well
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: they're playing.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Can this team win one hundred games?
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: And doesn't matter rightther On pays for about one hundred
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: and two right now based on their percentage, and how
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: much does it matter? But would it be cool if
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: they did it? I know last year we kind of
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: flirted with that a little bit when they had the
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: late run. But they've been just incredible and they've been
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: doing it earlier and more consistently this year. Is that
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: a real option or a real possibility for this team?
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're twenty games over five hundred, and they didn't
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: get to that mark until July twenty first last year.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: They got to it on June twenty fourth this year,
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: so that's almost a full month. You know, I had
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: a schedule in that department, and I don't think they
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: got their forty ninth win to like July fifth, So
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: they're ten days ahead on that as well. Yeah, it
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: doesn't matter, I think is a great question because obviously
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: what we saw last year, ninety seven wins, it was
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: I think the it depends on what you as a fan,
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: I think prioritize.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: And obviously we all want a World Series championship.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, yes, we know that that.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we know that that.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Aside, you also want to enjoy a baseball season, a
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: baseball season six months. And last year was one of
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: the most enjoyable baseball seasons in the history of this franchise,
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: because they won ninety seven wins, because there were so
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: many storylines, because of the winning streaks, because of Misbursted
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: onto the scene. There are so many different things that
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: went on in the season last year, the walkoff wins
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: and the comeback wins and everything like that, and it
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: was such an enjoyable season. Yeah, So I think this year,
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: I think you're starting to see some of the similar
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: things play out right where it's just another enjoyable baseball season. Look,
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: I know that that is not the goal of just
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: you know, especially in that clubhouse and in that front office,
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: they want to win a World Series. There's no doubt
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: about that. And last year they got one step closer
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: winning a playoff series, So don't I don't think it's
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: bad to win as many games you can't, especially in
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: a NL right now where the Dodgers are obviously, you
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: know they're fifty two and twenty nine, but you're just
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: one and a half games behind them right now, you're
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: now one and a half games ahead of the Braves.
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: If you can pull ahead of the Braves here and
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: stay ahead of the Braves, winning as many games is
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: going to be important so you can get that buy
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: not have to play that three game series when anything
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: can happen. And I think so, I think it's very important.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: And hey, you're on pace for one ZHO two go
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: win a hundred after a ninety seven win season last year.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Well, and the seeding does kind of matter when you
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: talk about potentially being able to avoid one of those two, right,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: like we talked about it on Monday, Hunter and Champions
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: fear No One absolutely. So if indeed you got to
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: the playoffs and you didn't have to face Atlanta or
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles, well one of them cannibalized the other, I
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: would not be upset.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: So like the one seed almost feels like it would
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: be the most.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Important this year because then you get to do exactly
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: what it was last year didn't work out for you,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: But Philadelphia and Los Angeles last year felt like they
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: were on a collision course and at least one of
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: them knocked the other one out. It is somewhat attainable
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: and feels like that they're eyeing that up. Not just
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: try to win every single night, but they seem to
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: be aware of everything around them and the chases that
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: they're in already, even though it's not even July yet.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and they because they have experience with it. Last
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: year it was you know, they were trying to get
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: that last year, trying to get that one seed eventually,
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: did you know the battling with Philly whoever it was.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: You know, Dodgers were the three seed last year. They
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: didn't have the best record in the National League. They
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: ended up, you know, disposing of the Reds and then
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: moving on and we all know what they did after that.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: But it, you know, they're so it and look, even
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: a home field advantage, all that stuff matters. And so
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: I do think that, and look, Pat Murphy going to
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: want to win every single game. We know his mantras
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: win tonight, So I think it's important. I think this
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: team has definitely learned how to win over one hundred
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: and sixty two, obviously coming off the franchise setting you
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: know season last year.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: So I think this is going to be a spot where.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: The Brewers are definitely it's it's I know, as from
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: a fan perspective, it's like, oh, what are they going
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: to do in October? Well, enjoy this because they're a
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: really good baseball team, and the more you win in
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: the regular season, the more it gives you confidence that
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: you can win in the postseason and beat some of
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: those teams.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Liking that Hunter a great stuff? Anything else we need
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: to know about this ball club today as they enjoy
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: an off day and then get ready for a series
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: that will get magnified. We'll it gets swallowed up by
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: summer stuff and by a World Cup and by you know,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: summer fast Or will this these three games like really
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: stay with us? Will this be a playoff preview? Will
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: it have the intensity that we envision what lies ahead?
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: I think it'll have the intensity, especially with mis on
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: the Mount tomorrow. I think that game will be you know,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: the atmosphere in there is going to be awesome. A
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: quick reminder, it's on Apple TV. Uh, and so make
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: sure you're you know, getting your free trial whatever you
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: need to do. They're actually on Apple TV the next
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: two Fridays.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: So maybe you just want to also if you do
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: the month to buy this. Okay, yep, thank you, heads up.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just a little tip for you. They're in Arizona
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: next week and they're on Apple TV. I mean actually
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: they're signlining report Atricia Whitaker. I'm gonna have her on
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: Milwaukee Baseball tonight and then uh maybe even you guys.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Can all right, she'll be huddling up with us tomorrow morning,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: no doubt about it.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Thanks, yes, so but so, but you know, so it's
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: a nationally televised game tomorrow. I think when you have
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: miss Harrison and Woodruff coming up against the Cubs, I
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: think it's going to be a very very exciting, intense
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: you know, these two teams getting together whenever. Now, of course,
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: since council went over, there is is a it's a
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: fun series to watch, it's an intense series. The fans
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: obviously are in a Bruce Cubs games have always been
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: like that. I think this weekend is going to be different.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: This is a team they look the Cubs are coming
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: you know, they play I think the Mets one more
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: time today and the boy that Mets committed six ers
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: last night. So they're helping the Cubs in every way
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: they can. But you know, the Cubs are playing a
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: little bit. The offense is coming around a little bit
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: more off for the Cubs, and so it'd be nice
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: if the Brewers, you know, pitchers, because they're gonna throw
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: their top three, be nice if they just kind of say, yeah, yeah,
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: your offense has been nice over the last few Yeah,
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: we're gonna throw Miz Harrison and see it.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Put it on the table on them what to see it.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: That's what you do here with the rotation. Now.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: I would ask Tricia if you could hunt her if
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: she sent sal Perez the dry cleaning built for last
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: week Apple TV. She got absolutely dumped on. But you
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: are talking to a Brewers fan that's trying to say it.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Drews mentioned, there's a lot of stuff going on. It's summer.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Summer Fest is happening, a lot of big concerts, grad
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: parties that are running through. You get one ticket to
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: one of these three games, which one are you urging
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: a Brewers fan to go.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: To I will always urge a Brewers fan to see
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: Jacob Mizarowski pitch in person. That is that is the
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: one if I weurus to say, do you know, it
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: doesn't matter who they're playing, go and see miss in
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: person this year, like it is just it's just.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: A different level.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: Like and maybe you know he's probably gonna have a
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: bump in the road at some point, but look that velocity,
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: you know, being able to look up, you know, look
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: up at that little scoreboard in right field and say,
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: do you see that he just you know, hit one
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: O three point five on that pitch and it's the
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: sixth inning or whatever like that. That is just again
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: it's something we have not seen before. And so you
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: and you also have a chance every time that guy
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: takes the mount to witness history, whether it's a no hitter,
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: whether it's a nine incomplete game shutout with fifteen strikeouts,
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: like it's it's you have a chance to see something
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: that you've never seen before when that guy takes the mount.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: And look, Harrison's been really fun to watch obviously, Wood
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: he was amazing the other night in Cincinnati. I pick
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: but look, hey, and that's a good pick. You know,
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: you want to see the veteran just go out and
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: just dominate like he has so many times before.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Well, you can't go wrong. And it is going to be,
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: you know, an intense atmosphere. Like you said, Hunter, the
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: rivalry always is. And that's why I'm excited. I'm excited.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I'll be there Friday.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: But Billy wants me to tamp down my energy just
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: because apparently I'm sitting around some Vlars Perdue alumni.

  Speaker 1: to top yesterday's waken Bake story. What do you got today? Well,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: tough to top.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: I do have an update on yesterday's waken Bake story.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: There were some folks saying, let's call it the funniest
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: part of the trash can story for the JP Morgan
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Chase executive that was fired over dumping out and taking
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: the trash can off of the street and then taking
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: it into the subway with her. Yeah, they're selling them
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: online by DSNY Home Waste Basket twenty twenty six New
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: York Knicks Championship Edition. Now Darren Revel is saying this
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty eight dollars trash can. Yeah, but
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: that's not one that was actually used in the street,
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: was not at the parade, And Revel says it's only
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: a quarter of the size. Oh yeah, Revel apparently authentic. Yeah,
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: apparently size matters.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: So that one.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: That's just a slight update on that story. But you
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: know what a story that we have not gotten updated
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: on quite some time. Fellas was authenticated. Sorry was the
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Diana Rossini story. Oh there's finally an update. We've been
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: waiting for something. Well, there's finally an update from her
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: former employer. Yesterday The New York Times really least a
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: rather scathing piece on Rassini, who, as they reported in
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: the story, was one of the highest paid employees at
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: the New York Times after they had purchased The Athletic
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: a couple of years prior to she really became the
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: face of the sports department. Shouldn't make it nearly eight
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: hundred grand with the Athletic And in the midst of
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: the piece, Ione bort you with all the details. I
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: would urge you to go read it like there is
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: a ton of stuff in here, not only the stuff
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: that you saw with the New York Post and TMZ things.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: But you know, sometimes you might not want to tell
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: on yourself. Sometimes you might not want to tell on yourself.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: There's a story in here of Diana Rossini first being
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: looked into by bosses when she told a story on
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Stu Goatt's show, which you hear on Fox Sports Radio,
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: about a time that she was pulled over. She was
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: trying to break the news that Sean McDermott had been
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: fired by the Buffalo Bills, but drew she was texting
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: and driving.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Oops.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: It was gonna be her second time in a week
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: that she was pinched for texting and driving, and when
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: the officer came up to her window, she said, sorry, sir, Sorry, sorry, officer,
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: but Sean McDermott just got fired. I have to report
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: the news. He goes, yeah, I don't care. I'm a
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: whatever football team fan, and the officer was unmoved. That's
• 38:23

  Speaker 3: not said to be for sure Mike Rabel was the
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: coach that she called that day, but when her company
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: started investigating the Rabel one, different PiZZ pieces of her
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: past came up, and that one definitely did Flarett, as
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: well as when she told a story at a somewhat
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: kind of looking like an upfront situation for the Athletic,

  Speaker 3: a big New York Times event, speaking to a little
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: bit of a panel, Yeah, like a panel, and well,

  Speaker 3: The interview, she explained, was rather boring until she asked
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: him a throwaway question involving his pet Peeve.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Then the story went everywhere.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: This person who has been so robotic, as Rassini said,
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: talking about things in the NFL, then he became real
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: life and the video went everywhere and everyone can relate.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: She said, it was insane about how open he was
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: talking about his at peeves, Like, what's wrong with this person?
