- 1:24Speaker 2: Armin Sarian. Happy Tuesday, gentlemen. A little wet one for you.
- 1:28Speaker 4: It's starting to rain out there. Yeah, Armin sees rain
- 1:31Speaker 4: and says free car washes for everybody.
- 1:32Speaker 2: That's right. You know, absolutely. I'm never going to turn
- 1:35Speaker 2: that down, right?
- 1:35Speaker 3: He's the optimist among us. You got to look at
- 1:38Speaker 3: the bright side, literally, even though it's not bright. Although
- 1:41Speaker 3: it was pretty warm this morning when I stepped out.
- 1:43Speaker 3: I was kind of surprised by that. Yeah, a little
- 1:44Speaker 3: bit balmy. Capitalized on it a little bit.
- 1:47Speaker 5: Got a lot of the October, I think, yard work
- 1:50Speaker 5: done this morning that generally I would have been doing
- 1:52Speaker 5: throughout October. But I was hunkered down too busy watching
- 1:57Speaker 5: Brewers baseball to think at all about leaves or grass
- 2:00Speaker 5: or anything like that.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Yeah, I think all of our timelines changed. All of
- 2:03Speaker 3: our timelines changed this year.
- 2:05Speaker 2: You good, bro?
- 2:05Speaker 5: It's a big old boy. I don't know what that is.
- 2:08Speaker 5: You're not touching that fly. I would not even think
- 2:12Speaker 5: about swatting it.
- 2:14Speaker 3: I got a big yellow jacket the other day. You
- 2:16Speaker 3: would have been proud of me. Although it was on
- 2:17Speaker 3: its last legs, literally.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Wings, I guess.
- 2:19Speaker 3: But no, this is the time of the year, right?
- 2:21Speaker 3: And usually we do all that stuff. But the Brewers
- 2:25Speaker 3: World Series run, I think, changed all of our timelines.
- 2:28Speaker 3: It was like you snap your fingers and it's November
- 2:29Speaker 3: because we're still in baseball season. Cause Hunter was telling
- 2:32Speaker 3: me the other day, you know, I think that baseball
- 2:34Speaker 3: is summer and summer wasn't over till the first, but
- 2:36Speaker 3: it was like October. And then you're like, wait a minute.
- 2:38Speaker 3: If you have a maple tree, you get a lot
- 2:39Speaker 3: of reliefs to pick up here.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Yeah. It's for, it's for a good reason, right? It's for,
- 2:45Speaker 2: and it was a warm, say the best. It was
- 2:47Speaker 2: the best. And it was a warm November too. So man.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:51Speaker 2: All that stuff. You're starting to catch up on.
- 2:52Speaker 3: It's like, it's been five days since they won the
- 2:54Speaker 3: world series.
- 2:54Speaker 2: It feels like five minutes to me, you know, that's true. Yeah.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Tomorrow's our one week anniversary. Me celebrating that for what?
- 3:04Speaker 5: Are we going to use it like you're a kid
- 3:07Speaker 5: when it goes from the weeks to then it's going
- 3:10Speaker 5: to be the month anniversary and then once you hit
- 3:12Speaker 5: a year, then you stop celebrating it?
- 3:15Speaker 2: Every single week and month?
- 3:16Speaker 3: We're only three months away from me saying a month
- 3:19Speaker 3: ago yesterday.
- 3:20Speaker 2: That's fair. Yeah, we are close. We are close to
- 3:23Speaker 2: that opportunity.
- 3:24Speaker 3: We're only a year and three days away from me
- 3:26Speaker 3: saying last year, Tuesday.
- 3:28Speaker 2: This week, Tuesday. Exactly. We'd love to hear from you.
- 3:34Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Surfed around last night. Watch a little bit of the
- 3:36Speaker 2: Bucs game. competitive for a little bit.
- 3:43Speaker 5: It was a man competitive for a while. They were trying.
- 3:46Speaker 5: They were out there. They were out there battling. I
- 3:48Speaker 5: watched a little bit of Marquette as well. Yeah, that
- 3:50Speaker 5: was not a close one. But yeah, it was nice
- 3:52Speaker 5: to see all the teams in full swing last night.
- 3:54Speaker 3: The Badgers played. Marquette played Panthers and obviously the Green
- 3:58Speaker 3: Bay Phoenix and the Bucks and the Bucks hung in there.
- 4:01Speaker 3: You know, they're playing hard, which I think is what
- 4:03Speaker 3: we wanted. They're playing hard.
- 4:05Speaker 2: They're just going to make it. But Tyler's pacing them.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Hawkins looks good.
- 4:07Speaker 3: They just can't finish games quite yet. They can't finish
- 4:10Speaker 3: wins quite yet.
- 4:11Speaker 2: No, I did not watch Marquette. Mercyhurst. The Lakers. The
- 4:17Speaker 2: Lakers from Erie, Pennsylvania. Is that right? I thought it
- 4:21Speaker 2: was North Carolina for some reason.
- 4:23Speaker 5: You could have told me 40 different states, and I
- 4:26Speaker 5: would have had no guess as to where that place was.
- 4:29Speaker 2: There are some teams like that where you're like, where's Stetson?
- 4:31Speaker 2: It felt very Vermont-ish. Stetson's in DeLand, Florida. I know that.
- 4:34Speaker 2: The Hatters. Yeah, but Marquette, they covered, I think.
- 4:38Speaker 4: It was like a 31-point... I think the Badgers did
- 4:41Speaker 4: not against the Denver Pioneers.
- 4:43Speaker 2: It's a classic hockey matchup. Wisconsin against Denver from back
- 4:48Speaker 2: in the.
- 4:48Speaker 5: Day and started talking about it during during Saturday's football
- 4:51Speaker 5: festivities because there wasn't a ton to talk about at
- 4:54Speaker 5: that point. But Drew, I think the the college game
- 4:57Speaker 5: is going to be an interesting example. And the Badgers
- 4:59Speaker 5: are probably one of those last night where, man, you
- 5:03Speaker 5: just have so many new players on every single one
- 5:05Speaker 5: of these rosters that they don't do. Well, they do
- 5:09Speaker 5: now somewhat preseason with how many exhibition games that they played.
- 5:12Speaker 5: They played three of them before last night, but it
- 5:14Speaker 5: makes you wonder as to how much you can take in.
- 5:18Speaker 2: On any of these games through the first month.
- 5:20Speaker 5: Or two like the classic lehigh or game where at
- 5:23Speaker 5: the cole center on a wednesday night in december over
- 5:27Speaker 5: finals week used to almost be the one forgivable one
- 5:30Speaker 5: but it feels like you're gonna have to be a
- 5:32Speaker 5: little bit more lenient the first couple of months.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Yeah and you have to get to know like you
- 5:35Speaker 3: said bill you have to get to know a brand
- 5:36Speaker 3: new team every year i mean there's just not as
- 5:39Speaker 3: many holdovers as in years past I mean, I try and,
- 5:42Speaker 3: you know, I try and follow Marquette as close as
- 5:44Speaker 3: you can. And still I'm looking at, I'm looking at
- 5:46Speaker 3: Samada through last night and I'm like, wait a minute.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Who is this guy? Transfer from Louisville.
- 5:51Speaker 3: Okay. I totally forgot about that. Played five years pro
- 5:53Speaker 3: in Germany. It's just a whole new world. Like it's
- 5:56Speaker 3: just a whole new world of roster building of what
- 5:59Speaker 3: a college athlete is. And I guess, I guess by
- 6:02Speaker 3: the second month, you'll start to get to know each
- 6:04Speaker 3: team just in time for the tournament to start. It
- 6:06Speaker 3: isn't time for the winter to start and just in
- 6:08Speaker 3: time for like tournament time. And then, Have to learn
- 6:10Speaker 3: a whole new one. But that's you're right, Billy. That's
- 6:12Speaker 3: what college basketball is going to be now. It's a
- 6:15Speaker 3: brand new brand new group of players every year.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of what we're up against.
- 6:20Speaker 5: And a guy named Harry Bates last night on Denver
- 6:22Speaker 5: was definitely that's just one that's on the all name team.
- 6:25Speaker 5: Whenever when he stepped up to the foul line, I
- 6:27Speaker 5: just couldn't couldn't help but laugh. I just see you
- 6:32Speaker 5: see anything and everything for 300 college basketball teams.
- 6:36Speaker 2: I'm glad the Badgers got one now with my man victory.
- 6:39Speaker 2: That's right.
- 6:39Speaker 3: They have a great name there as well. That's a
- 6:41Speaker 3: good point. I mean, you love having a guy in
- 6:43Speaker 3: the all-name team. It is fun to have that. It
- 6:48Speaker 3: is like you look at some of these and you're like,
- 6:50Speaker 3: are these the made up names that they have in
- 6:52Speaker 3: like Madden? It's not five years in on your Madden
- 6:56Speaker 3: franchise where things are just auto generating.
- 6:58Speaker 2: There's actual names that are rolling through.
- 7:00Speaker 5: I don't have as much of a problem in the
- 7:02Speaker 5: college game with the you mentioned the guys playing overseas
- 7:06Speaker 5: for a number of years. The Badgers new point guard Fox. Well,
- 7:09Speaker 5: he played what three or four years. They said overseas
- 7:12Speaker 5: in Australia.
- 7:13Speaker 2: I want to say.
- 7:14Speaker 5: I don't have nearly a kind of problem with that
- 7:16Speaker 5: as it seemed like some people did. It does appear
- 7:19Speaker 5: that it's going to make the basketball much better, though,
- 7:21Speaker 5: each and every year over here.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people are offended by that notion
- 7:25Speaker 3: that a guy could be pro and then go back
- 7:27Speaker 3: to college. But, I mean, this is the new age, right?
- 7:30Speaker 3: This is the new way, and you have to kind
- 7:32Speaker 3: of adjust to it. So, yeah, victory is a good one.
- 7:35Speaker 3: I also think they have a player, Jackson Ball. I mean,
- 7:38Speaker 3: that's a pretty good name for a basketball player.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Jackson Ball? Yeah, I mean, that's a pretty good one.
- 7:42Speaker 2: New Zealand guy.
- 7:44Speaker 5: So it's an older world. Well, the other ball one
- 7:47Speaker 5: last night, LaMelo, he was pretty good. You do start seeing,
- 7:52Speaker 5: and Armando, you mentioned that he can't close out games yet.
- 7:55Speaker 5: I don't know if the Bucs are going to find
- 7:57Speaker 5: that gear quite yet this year. But I did like
- 8:00Speaker 5: seeing Braden Burries get into the starting lineup, Drew. Nice
- 8:03Speaker 5: to start seeing some more moving and shaking into those reigns.
- 8:07Speaker 5: But I'll tell you, last night, my attention was on
- 8:11Speaker 5: on that, that game in Seattle and goodness gracious, the,
- 8:14Speaker 5: the NFC North does have a little bit of a
- 8:16Speaker 5: Chicago bears problem because that was one of the better
- 8:20Speaker 5: performances drew. I think we've seen all year long.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Yeah. Top to bottom. It was a spanking and that's
- 8:26Speaker 2: a good team. Well coached at home.
- 8:29Speaker 4: And it was a spanking starting to feel there was
- 8:32Speaker 4: a time in September where the Brewers played the Cubs
- 8:35Speaker 4: and And didn't they, like, come back and win and
- 8:38Speaker 4: maybe even walk them off at AmFam?
- 8:40Speaker 5: That sounds right in that little seven-game and 10-day stretch
- 8:43Speaker 5: that they had there.
- 8:44Speaker 2: There was a point.
- 8:45Speaker 4: Where the Brewers, like, and you just got the feeling
- 8:48Speaker 4: looking at it as, like, okay, the Brewers are now
- 8:49Speaker 4: a wagon, right?
- 8:50Speaker 2: The Brewers are a viable, not just happy to be there,
- 8:54Speaker 2: but a viable playoff, deep playoff run contender at that juncture.
- 9:01Speaker 2: Kind of felt that way watching the Bears last night.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Their offense is really, really good. You've got to start
- 9:06Speaker 2: to prepare yourself for the possibility of the Bears being
- 9:10Speaker 2: good and making a deep playoff run and maybe even
- 9:12Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. It's impossible to say right now. November 3rd.
- 9:15Speaker 4: There's so much real estate between now and February 3rd.
- 9:19Speaker 4: I watched that last night. I'm like, I have to
- 9:22Speaker 4: prepare myself mentally for the Bears being good enough to
- 9:26Speaker 4: make a deep run.
- 9:27Speaker 5: I think the other thing that people are going to
- 9:28Speaker 5: have to mentally prepare themselves or be able to grasp
- 9:31Speaker 5: is that What Caleb Williams, the shortcomings last year that
- 9:35Speaker 5: you were still able to kind of point to and
- 9:38Speaker 5: point out as the issues and the things that would
- 9:41Speaker 5: prohibit him from being one of those guys drew that
- 9:43Speaker 5: you can win because of he's cleaned up a lot
- 9:46Speaker 5: of the efficiency problems and with that quarterback and that coach,
- 9:49Speaker 5: it's going to be hard for me to not think
- 9:51Speaker 5: that they're going to make multiple deep playoff runs. I
- 9:53Speaker 5: think the division now after what we watched this week
- 9:56Speaker 5: and you know injuries happen there. They're a massive part
- 9:59Speaker 5: of the game. I I don't know that Detroit's defense
- 10:01Speaker 5: is at all the same without Campbell in the middle
- 10:03Speaker 5: of it. And, and I think that there, they have
- 10:06Speaker 5: some definite warts, even though you just lost the game there.
- 10:09Speaker 5: I think that one can very much be rectified. I
- 10:12Speaker 5: think those games in the back end of the year, though,
- 10:14Speaker 5: drew Christmas day in Chicago and week 18 against Detroit
- 10:20Speaker 5: to me are going to be the two differentiators.
- 10:22Speaker 2: In the division.
- 10:22Speaker 5: Like, Chicago is not going anywhere. That run game is legit.
- 10:26Speaker 5: I still don't even know if they had their best
- 10:27Speaker 5: running back available last night. And Swift ran for three TDs.
- 10:32Speaker 5: That's a hell of an offense.
- 10:35Speaker 2: And Luther Burden in his second year is becoming the
- 10:39Speaker 2: dream scenario layup throw that you can have. And they're almost.
- 10:44Speaker 5: able to just kind of punt with roma dunzey's nice
- 10:47Speaker 5: he's not that great of a top 10 pick wide
- 10:49Speaker 5: receiver but they don't really need him to be right
- 10:51Speaker 5: now with what they got with loveland burden and that
- 10:53Speaker 5: run game and offensive line is moving yeah.
- 10:56Speaker 3: And they seem to have not had to you know
- 10:58Speaker 3: had much effect from losing the center losing thalman.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Before the year and bradbury's been really good he's.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Been really good and then uh you know they're operating
- 11:05Speaker 3: like they have a window to take advantage of and
- 11:07Speaker 3: make the simmons deal he made a big impact last
- 11:09Speaker 3: night i thought and um You're right, though. Those games
- 11:12Speaker 3: are going to be important because I think Ben Johnson's
- 11:14Speaker 3: kryptonite so far has been the NFC North. What's his
- 11:17Speaker 3: overall record? It's two and something. Two and seven, I
- 11:18Speaker 3: want to say. Two and seven, two and eight or
- 11:20Speaker 3: something like that. So maybe, I don't know if that
- 11:24Speaker 3: includes the playoff game against us, but that seems to
- 11:26Speaker 3: be his kryptonite.
- 11:28Speaker 2: So that's the one thing. I don't like thinking about
- 11:30Speaker 2: that game.
- 11:31Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know that that's a great stat for
- 11:34Speaker 5: Packers fans to call out because the two would be
- 11:37Speaker 5: against you. No, that's absolutely true. You're right about that.
- 11:41Speaker 5: I do like where your head's at.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Well, no, because you think, okay, if that's a trend
- 11:44Speaker 3: that he's going to have to start winning some of
- 11:46Speaker 3: those games, if that's his kryptonite, it's a big one.
- 11:49Speaker 3: But maybe that's going to be his chance coming up
- 11:52Speaker 3: now as we approach Christmas to overcome that. Because you're
- 11:56Speaker 3: looking for something if you're a Packer fan.
- 11:58Speaker 4: As we're at the halfway point, and since it's election day,
- 12:02Speaker 4: let's do ranked choice voting.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Okay. Who are the five best teams in the NFL
- 12:05Speaker 2: right now? Are all of them in the NFC? I
- 12:09Speaker 2: still think still top five.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:11Speaker 5: I think Buffalo still finds their way in there.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Is San Francisco the best team going or are they,
- 12:16Speaker 2: I would, I would still put San Francisco.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Yes.
- 12:23Speaker 5: Above everybody else. Even though I think Chicago has a
- 12:29Speaker 5: massive case for it. And I also still think Kansas
- 12:31Speaker 5: city is really, really good. I don't know that I'm
- 12:33Speaker 5: a fully against putting them into that conversation. And the
- 12:36Speaker 5: team that we're going to see coming up tonight on
- 12:38Speaker 5: Thursday night, Drew, Don't look now. My Jacksonville Jaguars might
- 12:42Speaker 5: make a might have a case to be into that
- 12:44Speaker 5: top five coming up. They're still so spotty to me.
- 12:47Speaker 5: They're going to be somewhere into the mix. But I
- 12:50Speaker 5: would I put Buffalo in there for sure. I would
- 12:54Speaker 5: put San Francisco in there for sure. And then I
- 12:59Speaker 5: think there's probably five teams that could make a case
- 13:02Speaker 5: for those next three spots in Chicago would absolutely be
- 13:04Speaker 5: one of them.
- 13:05Speaker 2: I would agree.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Chicago, Seattle, Denver, you know, and then the thing is like,
- 13:09Speaker 3: where do you look at Pittsburgh? I think that's an
- 13:10Speaker 3: interesting one. There's six and two, but I don't think
- 13:13Speaker 3: a lot of people believe in them yet. Just sort
- 13:14Speaker 3: of like the Vikings. They've only got one loss, but
- 13:16Speaker 3: no one really believes in them. There's a lot of
- 13:18Speaker 3: teams in that, in that kind of economy right there
- 13:21Speaker 3: that you.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Can make the, the case for.
- 13:23Speaker 5: Well, and Cincinnati has put up 35 in each of
- 13:27Speaker 5: their last three games and they've dog walked through.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Now they haven't played anybody.
- 13:30Speaker 5: They played Tennessee and, and, the Dolphins with also Baltimore
- 13:36Speaker 5: in there without Lamar. But now that team is going
- 13:38Speaker 5: to be without Lamar for the rest of the year.
- 13:40Speaker 5: So you're going to definitely start recalibrating some of these.
- 13:43Speaker 5: Cincinnati is going to say to claim there. Would you
- 13:45Speaker 5: put Chicago in there for sure, though? Definitively drew his
- 13:48Speaker 5: last night. I mean, that is a hell of a
- 13:50Speaker 5: place to play. Hellish place to play at night. Seattle
- 13:55Speaker 5: has been damn near unbeatable there. I mean, and they
- 13:57Speaker 5: just blitz them.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. It's bizarre to me that everything tracks
- 14:01Speaker 2: with the Bears, except they're in the division. They're winless.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Oven to it's weird. That's weird. But their point differential
- 14:07Speaker 2: is a solid 54.
- 14:09Speaker 3: And their biggest advantage to this argument would be in
- 14:12Speaker 3: their worst performance, they didn't have Caleb. So it's like, well,
- 14:16Speaker 3: when they're healthy, they're one of those teams. I think
- 14:18Speaker 3: that's how you look at that, right?
- 14:20Speaker 2: You'd have to say.
- 14:21Speaker 4: I can't put the Seahawks in my top five. No,
- 14:27Speaker 4: not after last night.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Perhaps. But if you're just going to say, well, it
- 14:31Speaker 2: was an off night. Everybody has those.
- 14:32Speaker 4: But yeah, it's like I got San Francisco, Buffalo, Chicago
- 14:36Speaker 4: in some way in my top five. And then it's like,
- 14:39Speaker 4: do we have to throw a bone to Minnesota? Do
- 14:41Speaker 4: we have to say that?
- 14:42Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't know that I can. The
- 14:44Speaker 2: Lions on the right day. Lions on the right day
- 14:47Speaker 2: are definitely in the mix there.
- 14:49Speaker 5: And that's where last night's result, Drew, is kind of
- 14:52Speaker 5: weirdly good for the Packers because anybody catching L's in
- 14:57Speaker 5: the NFC is a good thing right now to where
- 15:00Speaker 5: you sit up it. hard to say that, you know,
- 15:02Speaker 5: five and three is where you're really going to be
- 15:05Speaker 5: on the danger zone of, or on the, you know,
- 15:07Speaker 5: walking the plank potentially making the playoffs, but it's seven
- 15:10Speaker 5: teams for five spots, everybody, but Arizona in the West
- 15:13Speaker 5: and everybody in the NFC North and two teams are
- 15:17Speaker 5: going to win those divisions.
- 15:18Speaker 2: And there's gonna be three wildcard spots.
- 15:19Speaker 5: So as much as you always want to root against
- 15:22Speaker 5: Chicago and you'll be able to rectify that you can
- 15:25Speaker 5: take care of that tiebreaker by beating them on Christmas
- 15:27Speaker 5: day and leapfrogging them. Might be even better that Seattle
- 15:31Speaker 5: went and grabbed that fourth loss last night.
- 15:33Speaker 2: If the playoffs started today, the two seven seeds are
- 15:36Speaker 2: the team's meeting Sunday afternoon in Foxborough.
- 15:39Speaker 5: How about that? Oh, and people would be ticked. How's
- 15:43Speaker 5: the internet going to handle the Packers as a seven
- 15:44Speaker 5: seed again?
- 15:45Speaker 1: Again?
- 15:46Speaker 3: Our records didn't spot the dinner table. Like, our spot seventh,
- 15:50Speaker 3: it's kind of funny how that works. Although, maybe this
- 15:52Speaker 3: is a good time now for the Packers to start
- 15:53Speaker 3: sneaking up on teams. You know, they win games, not
- 15:56Speaker 3: incredibly amazingly, but they slowly start to win games. You know,
- 16:00Speaker 3: everyone else is getting talked about. You know, it's like, okay,
- 16:02Speaker 3: the Packers are seventh again. But if they have a
- 16:04Speaker 3: slow improvement, maybe this could be the time.
- 16:07Speaker 4: So the Panthers would be the four seed right now
- 16:10Speaker 4: if the playoffs started today.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Giants the three, right? And they're three and four.
- 16:13Speaker 4: But the Panthers' current playoff probability, according to NFL.com, is 33%.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Right, because they're out of the wildcard picture. They just
- 16:22Speaker 2: have anybody at NFC South. Somebody's got to win it.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Somebody's got to win it. Somebody's got to be in there. Packers, though.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Throw them all 30%. Who cares?
- 16:30Speaker 4: Packers at 5-3. They're fourth in their division. 49% playoff potential.
- 16:37Speaker 2: And I wonder how much last night helped that.
- 16:39Speaker 4: Because you then would have Seahawks are on the bubble
- 16:42Speaker 4: at 50.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Seahawks on the bubble at 50. Where do they have
- 16:44Speaker 2: the Rams in there as well at 4-4?
- 16:45Speaker 3: 42%. Okay. Okay.
- 16:50Speaker 5: They were, you know, I thought it was 60% to
- 16:52Speaker 5: go undefeated. Now they're sitting at four and four and
- 16:55Speaker 5: maybe getting miles Garrett back coming up this week. Maybe
- 16:58Speaker 5: like that's going to be that game on Thanksgiving Eve.
- 17:04Speaker 5: Netflix has to be salivating because there was a moment
- 17:07Speaker 5: in the beginning of the year where the Rams were
- 17:09Speaker 5: wanting to, the Packers just got the, their doors blown
- 17:13Speaker 5: off by Atlanta at home. And Netflix was sitting around saying,
- 17:17Speaker 5: who on earth is going to be wanting to watch
- 17:18Speaker 5: us on Blackout Wednesday? Now, Miles Garrett and Micah Parsons
- 17:22Speaker 5: might be coming back. And that game is going to
- 17:24Speaker 5: be a battle for two teams that desperately needed for
- 17:26Speaker 5: playoff positioning. Pretty solid scheduling at that point. That's going
- 17:29Speaker 5: to be a fun one and a huge one that
- 17:32Speaker 5: we already still have circled.
- 17:33Speaker 2: But. Foxborough this weekend. Opportunity against our Armand's boy, Drake May.
- 17:39Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to get something going on against him
- 17:41Speaker 3: because he's changing the narrative on me. And I can't
- 17:44Speaker 3: be wrong about him and Caleb because that's going to
- 17:46Speaker 3: be frustrating, even though my old account doesn't exist. Everyone
- 17:49Speaker 3: was bookmarking that one. I'm sure someone will. I'm sure
- 17:51Speaker 3: the Bears fans will find me.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Do those bookmarks save because you have the same?
- 17:55Speaker 3: No, it's a totally different. It's a totally different account.
- 17:58Speaker 3: So you're completely off the radar. It's like a new
- 18:00Speaker 3: house at the same address. It's going to start saying
- 18:02Speaker 3: some outlandish stuff on there. I'm going to have to
- 18:04Speaker 3: get back because I told them all a bookmark.
- 18:05Speaker 2: And I said the Bears won't be five hundred.
- 18:07Speaker 5: Sure looking like they're gonna they're gonna think you were
- 18:09Speaker 5: just running from the grind deleting your account that's the
- 18:12Speaker 5: thing that bothers me the most i don't want them
- 18:14Speaker 5: thinking i was afraid of the smoke they're gonna think
- 18:15Speaker 5: you're that florida state fan that said he was gonna
- 18:17Speaker 5: eat the if his team ended up losing there you
- 18:20Speaker 5: go and then he disappeared on him and now they
- 18:21Speaker 5: had to fire their coach i'll eat it i'm happy
- 18:24Speaker 5: to i'm not happy to do it but i'll eat
- 18:25Speaker 5: it i'm not gonna i don't want to run i
- 18:26Speaker 5: don't want them thinking that they got me to run
- 18:28Speaker 5: from the grind that's the worst part about it yeah
- 18:31Speaker 5: no we're gonna have some very very interesting games in
- 18:33Speaker 5: this league coming up and uh Packers-Patriots will be one
- 18:36Speaker 5: of them. I do like that we keep seeing the
- 18:38Speaker 5: highlights of Packers-Patriots from the past, the Super Bowl highlights,
- 18:43Speaker 5: the 2014 matchup against Brady.
- 18:44Speaker 2: I was going to say, I prefer to not watch
- 18:46Speaker 2: the Conley highlight again. No, I don't need that one. No,
- 18:49Speaker 2: that's for sure. That was not a fun one. That
- 18:51Speaker 2: was a Matt Flynn game, but still.
- 18:53Speaker 3: The 2014 game is still one of my favorite regular
- 18:56Speaker 3: season games ever, probably. That Rodgers-Brady matchup at Lambeau, that
- 19:01Speaker 3: was such a fun one.
- 19:02Speaker 2: I enjoy seeing those replays. All week, but yeah, it'll
- 19:06Speaker 2: be a good one. It's going to be good.
- 19:08Speaker 4: Give us, you know, since it is election day, we're
- 19:11Speaker 4: going to rank choice voting.
- 19:12Speaker 2: We could go top five Tuesday, if you will. I
- 19:14Speaker 2: was thinking about five best teams in the NFL right now. Snapshot.
- 19:18Speaker 2: And again, that's what it is, is a snapshot. That is, yes.
- 19:20Speaker 2: Everybody's one injury away from not being a best in
- 19:23Speaker 2: the top five, right?
- 19:24Speaker 3: Oh, yes.
- 19:24Speaker 5: But now, Drew, it's like actually fair to do it, right?
- 19:27Speaker 5: Because you kind of blink and realize, holy cow, at
- 19:30Speaker 5: the end of this week, it's halfway through the NFL season.
- 19:32Speaker 2: We're halfway through. We're at the halfway point. So it's
- 19:34Speaker 2: time to take stock.
- 19:35Speaker 4: Some say, like Wayne Larrabee's always told us, it takes
- 19:38Speaker 4: you a month to four to six games to figure
- 19:40Speaker 4: out where you are.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Figure out who you're at.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Some would say the season doesn't really start till after
- 19:43Speaker 4: thanksgiving that's when you're you know when all the injured
- 19:47Speaker 4: guys get back and that's when you that's when you
- 19:49Speaker 4: start putting in the work.
- 19:50Speaker 2: When the packers might be fully whole.
- 19:52Speaker 4: Well yeah and especially if parson starts practicing today my
- 19:55Speaker 4: other thing in terms of the top five and this
- 19:58Speaker 4: one could get spicy well let's do it we're the
- 20:00Speaker 4: top five professional sports athletes in the state of Wisconsin
- 20:04Speaker 4: right at this moment. Ooh, at this very moment. At
- 20:07Speaker 4: this very moment. In terms of, I'm talking popularity, Q rating,
- 20:11Speaker 4: jersey rating, whatever. Like, who are the top, who are
- 20:14Speaker 4: your top five at this very moment?
- 20:17Speaker 1: Man.
- 20:17Speaker 2: That's so tough. I love that. We'll discuss this as
- 20:20Speaker 2: we move forward today. Ranked choice voting here. Why not?
- 20:23Speaker 2: We're huddled up.

- 21:06Speaker 4: so it's Election Day. That's a light sports calendar today
- 21:09Speaker 4: because of Election Day. How many stickers did you guys snag?
- 21:13Speaker 2: I didn't get any. I voted early. Oh, you didn't
- 21:15Speaker 2: get one?
- 21:16Speaker 3: I had to get my sticker. What, you try to
- 21:17Speaker 3: get extras so you can flex them? Well, where I
- 21:22Speaker 3: used to vote, they had future voter stickers. All right,
- 21:26Speaker 3: so I thought that was kind of cool. I remember
- 21:28Speaker 3: giving one to Lena like a year.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Or two ago.
- 21:31Speaker 3: And they didn't have them now where I vote. And
- 21:34Speaker 3: I said, you know, you guys don't have any of
- 21:35Speaker 3: those future voter stickers, do you? And she goes, no,
- 21:37Speaker 3: we don't. I'm like, that's all right. Can I get
- 21:39Speaker 3: a couple more for my kids while I have one child?
- 21:41Speaker 3: So I did snag one extra. I got three. But
- 21:45Speaker 3: I feel like that's okay as a sticker.
- 21:46Speaker 2: They don't care. They don't care, Billy. I'm glad you
- 21:51Speaker 2: got them. I'm glad you got them. Everybody, if you've
- 21:54Speaker 2: not voted, I know it's raining, but make a plan.
- 21:56Speaker 2: That's awesome. And take it easy on the poll workers,
- 21:59Speaker 2: all right?
- 21:59Speaker 3: I mean, the computers were down where I went, and
- 22:01Speaker 3: everyone was griping about it because it was taking longer.
- 22:03Speaker 2: It's definitely their fault. Yeah, like, take it easy. I mean,
- 22:06Speaker 2: they're out here working on it like the best they can.
- 22:09Speaker 2: They're volunteering. That's right. I mean, they might get paid something.
- 22:11Speaker 2: I really don't know poll workers, but they're out there.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Trust me.
- 22:13Speaker 3: This is not like, you know, the most peaches and
- 22:16Speaker 3: cream place to be, all right, is dealing with people
- 22:18Speaker 3: trying to vote, so... Take it easy out there. We're
- 22:20Speaker 3: all trying to participate in the process.
- 22:22Speaker 4: Apparently there's a polling place in Kansas that ran out
- 22:25Speaker 4: of ballots at 8 a.m.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Whoa.
- 22:27Speaker 4: That was a little clerical error because they ordered 100
- 22:30Speaker 4: ballots instead of 100,000 ballots.
- 22:34Speaker 2: That's amazing. That is amazing. I love that. Well done.
- 22:37Speaker 2: Did you imagine being the receptionist when that drop-off comes?
- 22:41Speaker 3: Whoops.
- 22:42Speaker 2: A couple more boxes, right? That's it. We got one.
- 22:47Speaker 3: And then there are some places that are just thinking
- 22:49Speaker 3: next level. The one I go to is actually a church.
- 22:52Speaker 3: And they funnel you out in one direction where they
- 22:55Speaker 3: had the bake sale going. And they're like, we're also
- 22:57Speaker 3: having a bake sale. The church ladies, they put it on.
- 22:59Speaker 2: Oh, there you go.
- 23:00Speaker 3: You're fundraising the whole church. I mean, you got me
- 23:03Speaker 3: crazy if you don't think I.
- 23:04Speaker 2: Bought like four donuts. I'm going to need that seven-layer bar. Yeah,
- 23:07Speaker 2: no doubt. Let's go.
- 23:08Speaker 5: So what you're telling me is if you're a Boy
- 23:12Speaker 5: Scout or a Girl Scout and you are not staked
- 23:14Speaker 5: out outside of one of the polling places, you might
- 23:15Speaker 5: be messing up.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. Treats.
- 23:18Speaker 5: Those popcorn buckets would be slapping walking out of there.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? You could sell candy and you
- 23:23Speaker 3: could sell concessions in line. I mean, that would be
- 23:26Speaker 3: the way to go. And then they had little flag
- 23:30Speaker 3: sugar cookies.
- 23:31Speaker 2: I'm like, that's perfect. I'm going to buy three of these.
- 23:34Speaker 6: So see, Billy, I'm participating. If you earn it, I'm paying.
- 23:38Speaker 6: You can participate. Well, first of all, you should participate
- 23:41Speaker 6: in the democratic process. Get out and vote today. But
- 23:44Speaker 6: our Our spin on it is we're doing ranked choice voting.
- 23:48Speaker 2: Top five Tuesday. We're the top five athletes in Wisconsin
- 23:51Speaker 2: right now.
- 23:51Speaker 4: Top five favorite and can be any way you want to. Greatness,
- 23:54Speaker 4: Q rating, top five jerseys you want to buy.
- 23:58Speaker 2: Who are they? Who's on it? Who are your top five?
- 24:01Speaker 5: So the tough thing, Drew, as I was trying to
- 24:03Speaker 5: do this during the break, is at some point I
- 24:06Speaker 5: have to put a Green Bay Packer in there.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Of course.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Yeah. Right.
- 24:09Speaker 5: Well, OK, but for for the longest time, that would
- 24:14Speaker 5: never have been the case. I heard our friend Matt
- 24:16Speaker 5: Vaskersian talking about his moments, realizing just how high up
- 24:23Speaker 5: on the pedestal the Brewers are or the Brewers are
- 24:25Speaker 5: right now over the Packers.
- 24:27Speaker 2: He was joking about it with levering.
- 24:28Speaker 3: He's like.
- 24:28Speaker 5: Guys, they used to make a bottled water distributor change
- 24:32Speaker 5: and people would go up.
- 24:33Speaker 2: There for the press conference instead of this.
- 24:35Speaker 5: And Drew, you would make this list and you could
- 24:37Speaker 5: list off the left guard before you'd be able to
- 24:40Speaker 5: put the second brewer.
- 24:41Speaker 2: That's right. It's so true. I mean, that's the reality.
- 24:43Speaker 5: So let me know what you guys think, because I
- 24:46Speaker 5: put this one and it's probably more because of the
- 24:49Speaker 5: youths than any.
- 24:50Speaker 2: I put Miz as the number one in the state.
- 24:53Speaker 3: Right.
- 24:53Speaker 2: That's pretty reasonable. Number one. I mean, he's about to
- 24:56Speaker 2: win the Cy Young, which is for a pitcher about
- 24:58Speaker 2: the highest honor you can win. And I got to
- 25:00Speaker 2: think after Drew. Now, maybe I'm wrong.
- 25:02Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not an elite ball knower like you.
- 25:05Speaker 5: I did not anticipate Bryce Terang being top three and
- 25:08Speaker 5: MVP voting last night.
- 25:09Speaker 2: Impressive.
- 25:10Speaker 5: When that news came out, I wonder if Miz is
- 25:12Speaker 5: going to find himself on some ballots for that one
- 25:14Speaker 5: as well.
- 25:15Speaker 2: You should get votes.
- 25:16Speaker 3: I think if they're voting the way they are now,
- 25:18Speaker 3: which is a lot of war based stuff, they both
- 25:20Speaker 3: have very high wars. There's no reason to think you
- 25:22Speaker 3: shouldn't get some sort of votes. And I would say
- 25:24Speaker 3: kind of a lean year for obvious superstar MVP-type candidates
- 25:28Speaker 3: in the NFL.
- 25:28Speaker 2: A lot of good teams. But, yeah, I think Miz
- 25:31Speaker 2: is a good one, though.
- 25:31Speaker 3: I mean, you're talking about a guy that, you know,
- 25:34Speaker 3: throws faster than anybody, so he's got the excitement spectacle.
- 25:37Speaker 5: He's got the phenom part of it.
- 25:39Speaker 2: He's got the relatability part, which I think is the
- 25:41Speaker 2: number one. He's got the hardware and everything.
- 25:43Speaker 4: The fact that Terang is going to finish third behind
- 25:45Speaker 4: PCA and Shohei is like, oh, well, okay then.
- 25:48Speaker 2: That's a hell of a graphic to put yourself on. But, yeah,
- 25:52Speaker 2: I mean, PCA is going to win. by acclimation likely unanimous.
- 25:56Speaker 5: He's the mvp i was gonna say i would be
- 25:57Speaker 5: almost surprised if it wasn't unanimous especially how how much
- 26:01Speaker 5: shohei dropped off at the end of the year it
- 26:02Speaker 5: would have been fun to watch them actually go and
- 26:04Speaker 5: duke it out the rest of the year uh but
- 26:06Speaker 5: i was glad ultimately that shohei wasn't himself at the
- 26:08Speaker 5: end of it.
- 26:09Speaker 4: You got ms first that okay i mean that's you
- 26:11Speaker 4: know he pitched what 28 30 games or whatever it's
- 26:15Speaker 4: like yeah he's starting pitcher but he's That's not a
- 26:18Speaker 4: bad pick by any stretch.
- 26:19Speaker 3: Right.
- 26:20Speaker 2: I just met number one. And I think he related
- 26:22Speaker 2: to be around for a while. And he's dominant. He's
- 26:24Speaker 2: national news every time he pitches.
- 26:25Speaker 5: In the smile, the Forrest Gump part of it, because
- 26:29Speaker 5: this is come on, because Drew number one was always Giannis.
- 26:32Speaker 5: And it wasn't just because he was the biggest, baddest
- 26:35Speaker 5: dude in the NBA.
- 26:36Speaker 2: It was because of the buddy, the L factor.
- 26:38Speaker 5: I think this is the only one with a little
- 26:39Speaker 5: bit of that. But at least his basketball run is
- 26:42Speaker 5: my number two man for Jackson Churio. Apparently, he loves hoops.
- 26:47Speaker 5: I saw him shooting a little bit after the game
- 26:48Speaker 5: last night. And they were shooting at the Bucks game Saturday.
- 26:52Speaker 5: Him and Pratt were shooting, putting up jumpers.
- 26:53Speaker 2: Listen, if anybody has a hoop in a court, he
- 26:57Speaker 2: might want to run threes. He could play in any game.
- 26:59Speaker 5: Uh in this state and for two guys under the
- 27:02Speaker 5: age of 25 to be my one two i think
- 27:04Speaker 5: is pretty damn impressive as to what they've built.
- 27:06Speaker 3: Yeah jackson's uh shot look good last night the marquette
- 27:08Speaker 3: game so did bryce's jumper look wet but i don't
- 27:10Speaker 3: know if you realize that jackson's dad is also a
- 27:12Speaker 3: big nba fan and apparently they're all named after nba
- 27:16Speaker 3: players well jackson brian is the middle name and that's
- 27:19Speaker 3: after colby and the younger uh jason the younger brother's
- 27:23Speaker 3: middle name is o'neill After Shaq.
- 27:25Speaker 2: And then there's another one, I think, for Anthony, for Carmelo.
- 27:28Speaker 2: I don't think, I didn't realize that. That's tremendous.
- 27:29Speaker 3: And so I read, I forget whose article it was.
- 27:31Speaker 3: I should know this, that I read last night. But
- 27:34Speaker 3: the Cheerios, Mr. Cheerios, a big, big NBA fan, and
- 27:38Speaker 3: they're all kind of got homages to NBA players.
- 27:41Speaker 5: Well, listen, that's a good one because he's the closest
- 27:44Speaker 5: thing to an NBA player I have on my list.
- 27:46Speaker 2: No bucks at all. No, no, I'm sorry. As much
- 27:49Speaker 2: as I would love to put... Mr. Falcon himself?
- 27:51Speaker 5: I would love to put Tyler here on the list.
- 27:54Speaker 5: He reached the HM category. He's just hanging out in
- 27:57Speaker 5: the honorable mentions.
- 27:57Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
- 27:58Speaker 2: I didn't know about the HM. Not HNM, just in
- 28:00Speaker 2: the HMs.
- 28:04Speaker 5: I thought about Jordan Love after the Drew, but I
- 28:08Speaker 5: did crowbar in William Contreras.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Now, three brewers before Yelich is a hell of a...
- 28:15Speaker 2: A hell of a move, right?
- 28:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, but this Brewers team has so many candidates.
- 28:20Speaker 4: The X Factor, because he's the, you know. He's the emeritus,
- 28:24Speaker 4: the captain. He's the favorite emeritus.
- 28:26Speaker 2: But he wouldn't.
- 28:28Speaker 5: None of these guys have gotten that I know of.
- 28:30Speaker 5: Have people been calling us for three years asking to
- 28:33Speaker 5: have traded?
- 28:34Speaker 2: True.
- 28:34Speaker 5: So that was where I did struggle. Maybe all of
- 28:38Speaker 5: that is completely forgiven for Yelich now. And I do
- 28:41Speaker 5: put him up there into the top five. But I
- 28:43Speaker 5: could put Contreras three. I put Jordan Love four. He's
- 28:48Speaker 5: got to be in the top five somewhere. Oh, I
- 28:52Speaker 5: put Sal Freeling number five.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing. And that's what John Kurzawa said, too, here.
- 28:56Speaker 2: I put Sal Freeling number five. Because he'd get the votes.
- 28:58Speaker 3: Whether or not you think he's as good as these
- 29:01Speaker 3: other guys, he's the people's champ.
- 29:03Speaker 2: I mean, right?
- 29:03Speaker 5: He did the Lambo leap that everybody loves. He's the smaller, slender,
- 29:10Speaker 5: smaller guy. He gets jokes from the manager. However, still
- 29:16Speaker 5: comes up in big moments. And, I mean, that home
- 29:19Speaker 5: run in game two. is going to be on the
- 29:23Speaker 5: sizzle reel.
- 29:24Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, the Cooper Pratt one probably should. And
- 29:27Speaker 2: if they would have won it in game four, Cooper
- 29:29Speaker 2: Pratt is into that list.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Right.
- 29:32Speaker 5: But since that one's going to get kind of lost
- 29:34Speaker 5: into the shuffle of the amazing moments they had, the
- 29:38Speaker 5: free lick one i think is going to be one
- 29:39Speaker 5: of the main backdrops when you walk into american family
- 29:43Speaker 5: field for the next number of years so i put
- 29:45Speaker 5: free like number five.
- 29:45Speaker 3: Which is amazing for a guy i mean that i
- 29:48Speaker 3: think i think you could objectively say was their worst
- 29:52Speaker 3: starter or their worst regular this year. But Sal is
- 29:55Speaker 3: the people's champ. That's the regular season, not in the playoffs.
- 29:57Speaker 3: The playoffs, you got it done. Everything's a snapshot. There's
- 30:00Speaker 3: some recency bias with the Brewers, for sure.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Big time.
- 30:03Speaker 4: Three weeks from now, if he has a big day,
- 30:05Speaker 4: does Micah Parsons nudge his way back into the top five?
- 30:08Speaker 2: You would think, yes. Because Drew, you know, out of sight,
- 30:12Speaker 2: out of mind is a big part of it. Big deal.
- 30:13Speaker 2: Big part of it.
- 30:15Speaker 4: And like, Golden and Watson make, you know, it's like
- 30:17Speaker 4: Matthew Golden, like, hey, wait a minute. Free, like, had
- 30:20Speaker 4: a nice season and all, but look what I'm putting up. Like, Well,
- 30:22Speaker 4: and Christian Watson walking out of the ambulance. That's a
- 30:26Speaker 4: pretty baller move. Damn, if you're going to.
- 30:27Speaker 5: Put one of the Packers on there, he might be
- 30:29Speaker 5: ahead of Jordan Love after that moment.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Well, yeah. And Jordan Love's playing phenomenal right now. Yeah,
- 30:34Speaker 2: Jordan Love's numbers. He is playing so well right now.
- 30:36Speaker 2: And ball numbers know it. I heard. Tom Brady on
- 30:39Speaker 2: with Colin Cowherd.
- 30:40Speaker 4: We should probably listen to some of that because Brady's
- 30:42Speaker 4: going to be on the call Sunday. He's returning to Foxborough,
- 30:44Speaker 4: going to be emotional for him. And that's a great call, Drew.
- 30:47Speaker 2: But yeah.
- 30:48Speaker 4: And Brady was saying like Jordan love is balling out. Like,
- 30:50Speaker 4: and he is anybody who knows ball knows what he's
- 30:53Speaker 4: up against. When you look at how bad the offensive line,
- 30:55Speaker 4: like historically bad, how non-existent the running game is for
- 30:59Speaker 4: him to still be dropping balls in a bucket and
- 31:02Speaker 4: having explosive plays and, What is he leading the yard?
- 31:06Speaker 4: Leading the league in yards, 16 to six and touchdown
- 31:10Speaker 4: to interception.
- 31:10Speaker 2: I think he's top five in touchdowns. There was 16. Yeah.
- 31:14Speaker 4: I mean, he's having an incredible season without.
- 31:16Speaker 2: A lot of help.
- 31:17Speaker 5: And drew with, I mean, Bill Huber's piece on just
- 31:21Speaker 5: how awful the running game is of, you know, damn
- 31:24Speaker 5: near the worst running game of all time in the NFL.
- 31:29Speaker 5: And playing, I mean, behind a guy this past week
- 31:32Speaker 5: when he, you haul off and have the game you
- 31:35Speaker 5: do against Carolina, who was the last offensive lineman to
- 31:39Speaker 5: make the team as the backup left tackle playing center.
- 31:43Speaker 5: The shuffling and the maneuvering they've had to do up front.
- 31:47Speaker 5: Speaks volumes to what Matt LaFleur was mentioning in the
- 31:50Speaker 5: beginning of the year, that soundbite that Stacey Dales and
- 31:52Speaker 5: Brian Baldinger had a training camp of he him manipulating
- 31:56Speaker 5: the rush and the pocket and understanding what to do
- 32:00Speaker 5: at the line of scrimmage. He's showcasing it because he
- 32:02Speaker 5: probably should be have been sacked a large number of
- 32:06Speaker 5: times more than he is right now, only at 14.
- 32:10Speaker 5: And you're looking at guys that have been sacked upwards
- 32:12Speaker 5: of 30 times already.
- 32:14Speaker 3: Yeah, he just, I don't think Jordan's ever going to
- 32:16Speaker 3: get the acclamation that he deserves probably for how well
- 32:19Speaker 3: he's playing. It's just the way it is, whether it's
- 32:22Speaker 3: his style or whether it's how unassuming he is. But he's,
- 32:26Speaker 3: I said during last week's game, he should be somewhere
- 32:28Speaker 3: in the MVP conversation. Don't think it's going to happen.
- 32:32Speaker 3: You're going to get a lot more pub out of
- 32:33Speaker 3: other guys. Obviously, Caleb's going to take a lot of
- 32:35Speaker 3: shine in the way he plays. It is what it is,
- 32:37Speaker 3: but Jordan is playing as well with as much adverse effects.
- 32:40Speaker 3: You should not be able to complete this many passes
- 32:43Speaker 3: without a running game, and the Packers have one of
- 32:45Speaker 3: the worst of all time right now. I mean, that's
- 32:47Speaker 3: just the way it is. So it makes it all
- 32:49Speaker 3: that much tougher, and he's playing well. So I think
- 32:52Speaker 3: Jordan deserves to be in the top five somewhere.
- 32:54Speaker 1: There.
- 32:55Speaker 2: It's funny.
- 32:55Speaker 3: We haven't even mentioned like Aaron Ashby yet. Like there
- 32:57Speaker 3: are so many guys you can think of. There's just,
- 32:59Speaker 3: it's just the, the, the reasons the effect of this
- 33:01Speaker 3: great Brewers run makes it hard.
- 33:04Speaker 5: But, um, and that's what, that's why it's five is
- 33:07Speaker 5: a tough thing to get into.
- 33:08Speaker 2: There's a lot of very lovable guys. Jake Bowers, man
- 33:11Speaker 2: in the hour. I didn't make it. That's another good one.
- 33:14Speaker 2: I mean, that's, yeah.
- 33:15Speaker 5: I mean, if you did him again after game four.
- 33:17Speaker 5: Trevor McGill, mister, we need more beard than McGill. There's
- 33:20Speaker 5: a lot of guys that people would like to put
- 33:21Speaker 5: in here. That's a tough, tough list to make. And
- 33:24Speaker 5: it's a subjective list. You might have Garrett Mitchell on
- 33:26Speaker 5: yours because you like the cut of his jib.
- 33:28Speaker 2: For sure. Well, I think there's a lot of female
- 33:29Speaker 2: fans that might have Garrett Mitchell. Yeah, that's for sure.
- 33:31Speaker 2: A lot of female. A lot of them.
- 33:33Speaker 3: A lot of the sound effect there. You might have
- 33:35Speaker 3: Bobby Diesel. He was probably our best starter in the postseason.
- 33:39Speaker 2: I mean, Bob Guest.
- 33:40Speaker 3: So, you know, there's a lot of guys that you could.
- 33:42Speaker 4: Well, and again, this is a snapshot because three, four
- 33:47Speaker 4: months from now, Armand might be extolling Nigel James Jr.
- 33:51Speaker 2: As his guy. I hope so.
- 33:53Speaker 3: If he has the type of year that Marquette fans
- 33:55Speaker 3: hope for, that would be pretty nice.
- 33:56Speaker 2: So.
- 33:58Speaker 3: Uh, David Koenig regarding top five Wisconsin athletes right now,
- 34:00Speaker 3: almost feel like how many spots you have to get
- 34:02Speaker 3: down to list before you encounter a number. Yep. That's
- 34:04Speaker 3: basically what we've been saying. A good point on YouTube.
- 34:07Speaker 3: Jordan loving that slot.
- 34:09Speaker 4: I think I'm reading the sarcasm font because wildcat Mark
- 34:13Speaker 4: friend of the program said his top five picks. Number one,
- 34:16Speaker 4: Colton Joseph. Number two, Doug Gottlieb. Number three, Luke fickle.
- 34:20Speaker 4: Number four, Josh Jacobs. And number five, trace Mac. I
- 34:24Speaker 4: don't think he understood the assignment. I don't think he
- 34:27Speaker 4: quite got it.
- 34:28Speaker 2: I think that's a sarcasm fund as a top five.
- 34:30Speaker 2: I like it. I like the sarcasm. Well, we could
- 34:32Speaker 2: do that side of it, too. I don't know why
- 34:33Speaker 2: we have to be negative. Ranked choice voting. Top five,
- 34:37Speaker 2: bottom five. It's all good. Everything is open for discussion today. Oh,
- 34:43Speaker 2: my goodness.
- 34:43Speaker 4: Because we're doing ranked choice voting on Election Day. Top
- 34:46Speaker 4: five Tuesday is a throwback to a previous era.
- 34:50Speaker 2: That's hilarious. Top five Tuesday.
- 34:51Speaker 1: All right.
- 34:52Speaker 4: 877-794- 197.3. You are in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio.
- 34:57Speaker 4: Drew Billion-Armin on this Tuesday in the good land. Election Day.
- 35:00Speaker 4: We're having some fun with that in the huddle. Ranked
- 35:02Speaker 4: choice voting, if you will. It's basically top five Tuesday.
- 35:05Speaker 4: Top five in any category you feel like. For example,
- 35:09Speaker 4: top five either pieces that you have or pieces that
- 35:13Speaker 4: you covet of Brewers Championship memorabilia.
- 35:17Speaker 2: That's good because people are accumulating them now. They are.
- 35:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 35:20Speaker 2: They are.
- 35:20Speaker 4: And still sticker shock is still a thing because a friend,
- 35:24Speaker 4: my friend went and bought her sister a hoodie and
- 35:26Speaker 4: spent 90 bucks at Kohl's on a hoodie.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Yeah, still 90 bucks.
- 35:30Speaker 3: That's the one that's getting me. And I understand they're
- 35:32Speaker 3: going to be a lot, but 90 bucks for a
- 35:33Speaker 3: hoodie is a lot. Although I'm going to cave and
- 35:35Speaker 3: get one.
- 35:35Speaker 5: But the thing is, I don't know that there's a
- 35:38Speaker 5: lot of hoodies that you're getting for 30 bucks anymore.
- 35:40Speaker 3: Not 30.
- 35:41Speaker 2: I kind of thought they'd be 60 or 70, to
- 35:42Speaker 2: be honest.
- 35:45Speaker 3: I know we're just talking about 20 more dollars, but
- 35:47Speaker 3: I just, that was what little, cause I think I'm
- 35:49Speaker 3: trying to remember what they were when the bucks won.
- 35:50Speaker 2: And I thought they were in that 65, 70 range.
- 35:53Speaker 5: But if you're getting the Packers, I would just say
- 35:57Speaker 5: any kind of sideline gear at the Packers pro shop
- 35:59Speaker 5: is probably right in that same wheelhouse.
- 36:02Speaker 2: I think they're up there now. I don't know that.
- 36:04Speaker 5: I don't know that anything, if you're getting anything that's
- 36:06Speaker 5: going to be dug out official, you're getting a, for
- 36:08Speaker 5: less than less than 90.
- 36:10Speaker 2: The Peter Millar stuff is a, is crazy now too.
- 36:13Speaker 4: By the way, just check the old Amazon. The champion hoodie,
- 36:17Speaker 4: the classic pullover fleece hoodie, $ 30. That's not the reverse weave, though. Oh,
- 36:24Speaker 4: but that's not 30 for a champion hoodie. Even a
- 36:26Speaker 4: zip up hoodie is like maybe 40 at the most.
- 36:29Speaker 2: Okay.
- 36:30Speaker 4: And then Hanes, you can get like some midweight fleecy.
- 36:34Speaker 4: I like the champion 20 bucks. I do like the champion.
- 36:37Speaker 2: It's high quality. I do too. There's definitely like an authentic,
- 36:40Speaker 2: you know, you got a.
- 36:41Speaker 5: Nice little uncle bill vibe to you when you walk,
- 36:43Speaker 5: rock that little small little C logo right there on
- 36:45Speaker 5: the side.
- 36:46Speaker 1: Yes.
- 36:46Speaker 3: I mean there's definitely a little bit of fanatics ruben
- 36:49Speaker 3: nike gouge up there but it is what it is
- 36:51Speaker 3: i understand.
- 36:52Speaker 4: If you got a ball at one of the games
- 36:55Speaker 4: that would be in your top five if you caught
- 36:56Speaker 4: a beer can during the parade yes i mean there
- 37:00Speaker 4: was a girl that got interviewed she was you know
- 37:03Speaker 4: she had like a giant knot on her forehead because
- 37:06Speaker 4: she got hit by the can that someone threw off
- 37:08Speaker 4: of the the parade for the bus.
- 37:10Speaker 2: That's kind of a cool, that's kind of a cool entry.
- 37:11Speaker 4: It's like, oh yeah, well that's, you know, did you
- 37:13Speaker 4: get to keep the can or you got the souvenir.
- 37:16Speaker 2: Of a not a hold on to that thing? There's
- 37:18Speaker 2: no way I'm letting anybody touch that can at that point, boss.
- 37:21Speaker 3: Brewer's video team doing great work again today with that
- 37:24Speaker 3: slow motion of the Miller Lite can flying through the
- 37:26Speaker 3: air at the parade. Check it out on Twitter. They
- 37:28Speaker 3: just put masterpieces of art together. They are so, so good.
- 37:32Speaker 3: there's going to be a lot of time for them
- 37:34Speaker 3: to put them together too. Like there's going to be
- 37:36Speaker 3: a crazy amount of those still shots to be able
- 37:40Speaker 3: to cycle through.
- 37:41Speaker 2: There'd be one. I got a, my little guy in
- 37:44Speaker 2: back in April had a ball thrown to him from
- 37:49Speaker 2: Miserowski during one of the batting practice days. That would
- 37:51Speaker 2: be one to be able to hold on to.
- 37:52Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 37:53Speaker 5: I think there's a lot of folks though that are
- 37:54Speaker 5: trying to grab every one of the The 47 brand
- 37:57Speaker 5: is throwing a lot of different hats out.
- 37:58Speaker 2: Here now for the World Series champ.
- 38:00Speaker 3: And I like that hitch kind of design, which is
- 38:05Speaker 3: kind of a crown.
- 38:06Speaker 2: It's a great day. A lot of great hats.
- 38:07Speaker 3: Billy, the one you guys really good. People are going
- 38:10Speaker 3: to be continuing to try and enjoy it. And that's
- 38:12Speaker 3: one way to enjoy it is to.
- 38:13Speaker 2: By all the gear. By the newspapers. That's the one.
- 38:17Speaker 2: That's the other one. Newspapers.
- 38:18Speaker 3: Those are hard to find now. So you can order
- 38:20Speaker 3: them right online there, like special editions.
- 38:23Speaker 1: Am I right?
- 38:23Speaker 5: Todd Rosiak put out a piece today with everything and
- 38:29Speaker 5: all of the listing of either frame, not frame, prints. uh,
- 38:33Speaker 5: second printed stuff, fun, great resource to know exactly where
- 38:37Speaker 5: you wanted to go because drew, I did have that moment. And, uh,
- 38:40Speaker 5: I don't know if you'd be proud or laugh, but
- 38:42Speaker 5: my wife goes, Hey, where do we get a paper nowadays?
- 38:45Speaker 2: And I'm like, it's real. It's reality.
- 38:47Speaker 5: Dang, yeah, there's not one down the road. There's not
- 38:49Speaker 5: the paper box that I would go to generally. And
- 38:52Speaker 5: three different gas stations that I went to were sold
- 38:54Speaker 5: out of those. Weren't sold out of lottery tickets, so
- 38:56Speaker 5: I was able to get the scratchers, but I wasn't
- 39:00Speaker 5: able to get the paper that I was looking for.
- 39:01Speaker 3: The cold water in my face drew the next day
- 39:03Speaker 3: when we were talking about it, and you noted the
- 39:05Speaker 3: fact that it wouldn't be in the paper.
- 39:06Speaker 2: That's a good call. Not the next day.
- 39:08Speaker 4: People went out looking the next day, and I was like, no,
- 39:10Speaker 4: that gets printed in Peoria, and it won't be here
- 39:12Speaker 4: until the day after.
- 39:14Speaker 3: Imagine telling a young lad, Jeroldson, that the Brewers would
- 39:16Speaker 3: one day win the World Series and it wouldn't be
- 39:17Speaker 3: in the paper of record the next day.
- 39:20Speaker 2: I know. I know. OK, so let's get a couple
- 39:24Speaker 2: in here. Stephen Metz on YouTube. Yesterday's news tomorrow, right? Yeah, exactly.
- 39:28Speaker 2: Steve Metz has Pat Murphy in there.
- 39:30Speaker 1: There.
- 39:30Speaker 2: Does he count? He's not an athlete.
- 39:31Speaker 4: Well, I did say athlete, not coaches, but you can
- 39:35Speaker 4: throw Murphy in there as a figure.
- 39:36Speaker 3: Contreras, Turing, Miz, Ashby. So he's going all burrs there.
- 39:40Speaker 3: Let's see here. David Pratt. What about Pratt? Bad at
- 39:45Speaker 3: 350 with seven RBI. Ashby's dominance. Probably the honorable mention
- 39:47Speaker 3: outside the top five. That's how special this Brewers team is.
- 39:50Speaker 3: This Brewers run is, is there's so many, so many guys.
- 39:53Speaker 5: Well, in Pratt, I mean, maybe he should be more
- 39:56Speaker 5: involved just because of the contract that he signed.
- 39:59Speaker 2: That's the other part of this.
- 40:00Speaker 5: Like some of them, some guys you don't necessarily want to,
- 40:04Speaker 5: like Bryce Terang should be higher up there. I think
- 40:08Speaker 5: there's some folks around the stage, Drew, and definitely Brewers fans,
- 40:11Speaker 5: maybe a little more guarded with their love of Bryce Terang,
- 40:13Speaker 5: knowing this could be a short-term love. my man is
- 40:17Speaker 5: now pricing himself completely out of all range so maybe
- 40:21Speaker 5: there's a little bit of hold it back where cooper
- 40:24Speaker 5: pratt you already know you buy that 12 jersey this
- 40:27Speaker 5: year you're going to be able to rock that at
- 40:28Speaker 5: american family field for the next half decade even.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Longer well and that's a big thing for a lot
- 40:33Speaker 3: of people that are going to drop money on jersey
- 40:35Speaker 3: you want to know that won't go obsolete i used
- 40:37Speaker 3: to buy blanks for that very reason because a lot
- 40:39Speaker 3: of times You never knew what Brewer was going to
- 40:41Speaker 3: be on the team every which year.
- 40:42Speaker 2: And you said, Billy, once or twice, and it's very true.
- 40:47Speaker 3: You got to have that kind of Hallmark guy that's
- 40:49Speaker 3: going to be able to, you know, sell jerseys, you know,
- 40:51Speaker 3: wear that, you know, be there on opening day every year.
- 40:55Speaker 3: For years, it's been Yellich, and now the Brewers have
- 40:56Speaker 3: a few of them, which is pretty nice.
- 40:58Speaker 2: You know, the guy, the Churrio, the Prats that have
- 41:01Speaker 2: signed their deals. It's a pretty nice thing.
- 41:03Speaker 4: Did we have any Brewers sightings in the wild today
- 41:06Speaker 4: after Yelich's trip to Raising Cane's yesterday?
- 41:08Speaker 2: Might be the first day I didn't see one. Might
- 41:09Speaker 2: be the first day we haven't seen one. But, you know,
- 41:13Speaker 2: the day is still young. Yeah, I was going to
- 41:15Speaker 2: say it is young.
- 41:16Speaker 5: It is Tuesday, so I would assume maybe there's not.
- 41:19Speaker 2: This would be a nice little brunch day that they'd
- 41:21Speaker 2: probably be out for. And now that we're to Tuesday
- 41:23Speaker 2: and we're coming up on one week, have the crowd
- 41:26Speaker 2: slow down at Dick's, the team store, at Rally House,
- 41:29Speaker 2: the places that sell.
- 41:31Speaker 5: I got to think so. I would think I would.
- 41:35Speaker 5: I would hope so. Just for the folks that are
- 41:37Speaker 5: working there, maybe that they get a little bit of
- 41:39Speaker 5: a reprieve. But I also wonder if now it's well,
- 41:42Speaker 5: let's slow it down here. Let's let them restock. And
- 41:46Speaker 5: then people are now just penciling it in on all
- 41:49Speaker 5: their little wish lists for for the holiday season, because
- 41:52Speaker 5: that's the one thing. Once you reach a certain age,
- 41:55Speaker 5: mom asks you, what do you want this year?
- 41:57Speaker 2: I don't know. New socks.
- 41:59Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 41:59Speaker 2: Now everybody's lists are all made for him. Well, I
- 42:02Speaker 2: got 14 different pieces that I definitely send you over.
- 42:05Speaker 5: I got links if you'd want them to. I think
- 42:07Speaker 5: people might be stashing them a little bit here. Being
- 42:10Speaker 5: close to the holidays.
- 42:11Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Any of your favorite players? Jersey with the
- 42:13Speaker 2: World Series patch. Yeah, this is definitely going to be
- 42:16Speaker 2: pretty money. And which one do you like better? The
- 42:18Speaker 2: World Series patch of them playing or the World Series
- 42:21Speaker 2: championship one? I've been going through that. That's a tough decision.
- 42:24Speaker 2: I've been going through that with the hat. Hopefully DHK just.
- 42:28Speaker 3: Puts both of them on there. That would be pretty nice. Oh,
- 42:31Speaker 3: I can imagine the way they do the patches. Yeah,
- 42:34Speaker 3: but it's like, do you want the National League champion stuff?
- 42:38Speaker 2: It should start to be on sale.
- 42:39Speaker 3: I always thought that was funny in 96 when everyone
- 42:42Speaker 3: had the NFC champion stuff. I'm like, well, wait, you
- 42:43Speaker 3: don't think they're going to win the Super Bowl? Like,
- 42:45Speaker 3: what's up with that? So that should be another good one. Yeah,
- 42:48Speaker 3: I didn't see any Brewers in the wild sightings. The
- 42:50Speaker 3: closest thing I found was this Twitter account, House Tracker,
- 42:54Speaker 3: that I follow that claims Christian Yelich listed as Malibu
- 42:57Speaker 3: Mansion and that he's going to, you know, be moving
- 43:01Speaker 3: to his family to Wisconsin.
- 43:02Speaker 2: I'm not really sure if that last part is true, but.
- 43:06Speaker 2: He has a house in Arizona, too. He has a
- 43:07Speaker 2: big house in Arizona. Yeah, so I don't think anything.
- 43:10Speaker 2: Is that the one that you sent me?
- 43:11Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 43:11Speaker 5: That was listed for $ 30 million?
- 43:14Speaker 2: Yeah, $ 30 million.
- 43:15Speaker 3: If you're on water in Malibu like that, Billy, I
- 43:17Speaker 3: would imagine that that's what.
- 43:18Speaker 2: Well, that's one of the craziest complexes I've seen.
- 43:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 43:22Speaker 5: I don't know who has the $ 30 million to drop
- 43:25Speaker 5: on an estate, but that was exactly what I thought
- 43:29Speaker 5: a $ 30 million house would look like.
- 43:32Speaker 3: Listen, I don't know how much this is accurate, but
- 43:35Speaker 3: paid 5.5 for the lot.
- 43:39Speaker 2: 5,300 square feet, four bedrooms. It was built. Only four bedrooms? Well, yeah,
- 43:44Speaker 2: six bathrooms. What's up with that? You don't want somebody
- 43:47Speaker 2: doing that where you're going to take a shower. Probably not.
- 43:51Speaker 3: That's a guest bathroom. This tweet also claims he's moving
- 43:54Speaker 3: his family to Wisconsin. We don't know that.
- 43:56Speaker 2: Maybe he's buying Giannis' house.
- 43:58Speaker 3: Now, that would make sense, except I don't Hold on
- 44:01Speaker 3: to that, because the Heat are 2-5. The Heat are
- 44:04Speaker 3: 2-5 now.
- 44:05Speaker 2: That's true. You're not wrong. All right. We're having some
- 44:08Speaker 2: fun on this Tuesday. A little ranked choice voting for you,
- 44:12Speaker 2: or as we used to call.
- 44:13Speaker 4: It, Top 5 Tuesday. Having some fun. Matt Miller is
- 44:17Speaker 4: going to join us after 4 o'clock today. A man
- 44:20Speaker 4: about film. Be good to catch up with Matt, the
- 44:23Speaker 4: ultimate Brewers fan. And we will catch up with him
- 44:26Speaker 4: about a lot of things.
- 44:27Speaker 2: It's going to be beautiful. Including movies and stuff like that.
- 44:30Speaker 2: I wonder how many movies they're going to make about
- 44:31Speaker 2: this year. Exactly. That's what I was thinking of asking him.
- 44:34Speaker 2: Buckle up. You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
