Speaker 2: Twins camp was buzzing.
2:09
Speaker 1: I was Minnesota Twins camp was buzzing.
2:11
Speaker 2: It was a good time, good spot. I think Lee
2:14
Speaker 2: Health Park an older spot that they had. However, legitimately,
2:18
Speaker 2: guys in the in the outfield just like ten fifteen.
2:22
Speaker 2: I gotta imagine Hunter that the jersey, the names, the
2:26
Speaker 2: jerseys without names on them.
2:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, the eighties.
2:28
Speaker 2: Training in the eighties into like the seventies, eighties and
2:31
Speaker 2: nineties generally means like, you know, insert double a prospect here.
2:35
Speaker 2: But they were all having a great time hitting whiffle balls,
2:38
Speaker 2: throwing throwing the rock around, playing out on the field.
2:41
Speaker 2: It was a good time yesterday for the twins first
2:43
Speaker 2: full squad practice. But I assume that the vibes will
2:47
Speaker 2: be just as high at American Family Fields for those
2:51
Speaker 2: that you know, read the calendar right and are in
2:54
Speaker 2: Cactus League and not the grape Fruit Legue cover them

Speaker 5: on the two. You know, that's the other factory as
3:02
Speaker 5: you continue to battle through it, you know, potentially nicer,
3:05
Speaker 5: potentially nicer, And I know I yelled, talked, and we'll
3:07
Speaker 5: get into it. But it was nice to see young Carson.
3:10
Speaker 5: I saw him playing catch on the field yesterday. Was
3:12
Speaker 5: that on the actual spring training outfield grass, So that
3:16
Speaker 5: was on.
3:16
Speaker 2: The grass of the park that they'll play their spring
3:21
Speaker 2: training games. And I should have kept the name of
3:24
Speaker 2: the minor league team that plays there there's or there's
3:28
Speaker 2: a there's a team that's playing there all year long.
3:31
Speaker 2: Uh so that field gets used, yeah, and I mean
3:35
Speaker 2: armand you would have loved it. Right as we step
3:37
Speaker 2: onto this beautiful piece of turf grass, I don't I
3:41
Speaker 2: hear a guy right behind me walk up to one
3:43
Speaker 2: of the security guys. So it's just uh, Kentucky blue
3:49
Speaker 2: or they're a little mixture in here with so with
3:51
Speaker 2: some artificial because this is this is real.
3:53
Speaker 5: Nothing like talking grass, nothing like talking to gronomy with
3:56
Speaker 5: the guy hanging out there that is the most chilled out,
4:00
Speaker 5: like this is spring training, Like we're just enjoying life,
4:03
Speaker 5: dudes talking So what do we got here? Kentucky bluegrass?
4:07
Speaker 5: Or what kind of grass is this? What do we
4:09
Speaker 5: got here?
4:09
Speaker 1: Like he's the grounds they weave this.
4:12
Speaker 2: In every year. This is this fresh stuff.
4:15
Speaker 5: And I love that he assumes that the security guy,
4:18
Speaker 5: you know, knows what's going on with the grass.
4:20
Speaker 1: You know what it's like, I don't know, that's just grass,
4:23
Speaker 1: all right? You want to go, you want to go?
4:26
Speaker 2: However, best part is security guy.
4:29
Speaker 5: You know.
4:29
Speaker 2: Actually I think it's a I think it's a sixty
4:31
Speaker 2: forty mixture and that's what I had to walk away
4:35
Speaker 2: when I realized that I was gonna have two agronomous
4:37
Speaker 2: game for that.
4:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're getting older, but you're not that old yet, Billy,
4:41
Speaker 1: you're not.
4:41
Speaker 2: You're not that old.
4:42
Speaker 5: You're not talking grass blends yet. Yeah, and John, and
4:45
Speaker 5: John brings up and John brings up a good point.
4:47
Speaker 1: You're not in Arizona. You're not an hour or two behind.
4:49
Speaker 5: That's what made me more mad during the break when
4:51
Speaker 5: I started thinking about it, because I forgot.
4:53
Speaker 1: I forgot yourn Eastern time zone.
4:55
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, it's seven o'clock there, buster all right, Well,
4:58
Speaker 5: what guys mad at seven o'clo because you're up in
5:00
Speaker 5: the morning. Get up, I mean, you're in this and
5:02
Speaker 5: I don't want to call. I don't know how late
5:03
Speaker 5: the guy sleeps in, but come on, I'm assuming he
5:05
Speaker 5: gets up a little earlier than he used to.
5:07
Speaker 1: It was six when he was when I was working.
5:12
Speaker 1: Come on, you know what, guys probably retired, Just relaxed.
5:15
Speaker 5: Just put something on, you know, said breath, if you
5:18
Speaker 5: got beef, put on a pork chop, all right on
5:20
Speaker 5: the grill. All right, I'm enough of this stuff, Like
5:22
Speaker 5: like this guy's getting ridiculous there.
5:23
Speaker 3: But I looked at the Fort Myers Mighty Muscles. It
5:28
Speaker 3: looks like they play now.
5:30
Speaker 1: Is that muscles as in that's it? I love the
5:32
Speaker 1: nicknames of minor league teams. Isn't like just so different?
5:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're in the had Is that muscles is just
5:37
Speaker 5: like as in getting swollen, getting ripped, or muscles in
5:39
Speaker 5: as in like the seafood.
5:40
Speaker 2: I think it's like alam like they have a logo.
5:47
Speaker 7: Us.
5:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the sweet mascot, although he well it might
5:51
Speaker 3: be a little scary that that might It.
5:52
Speaker 2: Was out there yesterday, Okay, not as scary in person, however,
5:58
Speaker 2: you know that you just deviate path right, Yeah, unless
6:03
Speaker 2: it's not running up for yes, when somebody's running up
6:06
Speaker 2: to them, probably one that you're gonna go and pick,
6:08
Speaker 2: pick yourself a different paddle. But it was a great
6:11
Speaker 2: time yesterday, and and spring training is a phenomenal opportunity
6:14
Speaker 2: for Brewers fans baseball fans alike. Get on out, see
6:17
Speaker 2: a couple of games, see some players, get up close
6:20
Speaker 2: and personal. Guys are not that worried about it. Guys
6:22
Speaker 2: are very very loose and hunter. You know this, You've
6:26
Speaker 2: you've gotten the chance to be out there, and it
6:28
Speaker 2: probably is an earlier morning. As we're on that subject,
6:32
Speaker 2: then you would than you would think or that you
6:34
Speaker 2: usually be four. But the early bird gonna get the
6:38
Speaker 2: worm and gonna get to see all the best players.
6:40
Speaker 2: Like that is the time when if you want to
6:42
Speaker 2: go and see at spring training, you know, you're there
6:45
Speaker 2: for two or three days and you're trying to see
6:47
Speaker 2: all of the guys that are gonna be factoring in
6:49
Speaker 2: for your Brewers in twenty twenty six. And you get
6:52
Speaker 2: to that complex when they're getting there and everybody is
6:55
Speaker 2: a lot happier and a lot more smiling at at
6:58
Speaker 2: American Family Fields, then you're going to catch him during
7:01
Speaker 2: the one sixty two.
7:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, they start they start early.
7:03
Speaker 3: Those days start at you know, for the players seven
7:06
Speaker 3: thirty eight am, and the media is in there at
7:09
Speaker 3: eight am doing interviews, and that's when you really talk
7:11
Speaker 3: to him. If they have a game later in the day,
7:14
Speaker 3: then you were able to talk to him after the game,
7:16
Speaker 3: but otherwise, you know, it's not necessarily about the games.
7:19
Speaker 3: It's obviously about more so just talking to him about
7:22
Speaker 3: the season coming up and how they're feeling and everything
7:25
Speaker 3: like that. Like Christian Yealich did yesterday and he was
7:27
Speaker 3: able to talk to the media. He usually does his
7:29
Speaker 3: It's kind of like a state of the Union so
7:32
Speaker 3: to speak with Christian Yelich when he comes into camp. Yes, yes,
7:36
Speaker 3: so he arrived I think like Saturday in Maryvale and
7:38
Speaker 3: then talked to the media for the first time yesterday.
7:40
Speaker 3: The full squad was there yesterday and then officially the
7:43
Speaker 3: first workout is today. So this courtesy of Todd Rosiak
7:47
Speaker 3: of The Journal Sentinel and Christian Jalich asks about most
7:51
Speaker 3: really of the same position group outside of like Caleb
7:53
Speaker 3: Durban coming back for twenty twenty six.
7:56
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's a lot of those same guys
7:57
Speaker 7: from really like last year the last couple of years,
8:00
Speaker 7: continue to build and grow together and yeah, you know,
8:04
Speaker 7: you saw I got to make a propose last year.
8:05
Speaker 4: From one year to the next.
8:06
Speaker 7: And as kind of progress driver your career, you try
8:09
Speaker 7: to keep getting better and keep building.
8:11
Speaker 4: So I expect a lot of the same.
8:13
Speaker 7: Stuff from these guys and continue to watch them grow
8:17
Speaker 7: and just become more you know, complete, you know, better players.
8:21
Speaker 1: What you like most of right now, what the group
8:24
Speaker 1: did last time.
8:24
Speaker 2: I mean you kind of talked sometimes about Step one
8:27
Speaker 2: is care Basically, we're going to take each of back.
8:31
Speaker 4: What did you what impressed? I thought we just competed.
8:33
Speaker 7: We compete really well and find ways to win and
8:37
Speaker 7: just have that uh edge and ability to just make
8:42
Speaker 7: the place to win the game. Like whoever finds themselves
8:44
Speaker 7: in a situation did a really good job of executing
8:47
Speaker 7: and doing what they needed to do to give us
8:49
Speaker 7: a chance to win, whether that was somebody on the mound,
8:51
Speaker 7: somebody at the plate and finding a way to.
8:54
Speaker 4: You know, contribute to it.
8:56
Speaker 3: You know, they were obviously pretty young last year. A
8:58
Speaker 3: couple of Rookie of the Year can't top five, Isaac
9:00
Speaker 3: Collins Caleb Durban unfortunately both not coming back this year
9:04
Speaker 3: with the with the major league club. But I do
9:07
Speaker 3: wonder at what point do we shift from okay, they're
9:10
Speaker 3: a young team to their okay, they're their experience now,
9:14
Speaker 3: Like right, like South Freelik is not necessarily a young,
9:19
Speaker 3: you know, new guy in the league anymore. Bryce ter
9:22
Speaker 3: Raang is not a young new guy either, young ger,
9:25
Speaker 3: but they're they're more they're more experienced now. So I'm
9:28
Speaker 3: I mean, it makes me excited because they're entering their
9:30
Speaker 3: prime and everything and Jackson Curio is going to be
9:33
Speaker 3: still young till he's like his fifth or sixth year
9:35
Speaker 3: in the league probably, But other than that, most of
9:37
Speaker 3: those guys they're not necessarily young anymore. And so you
9:42
Speaker 3: it makes you excite as a Bruist fan because they're
9:44
Speaker 3: heading into their prime.
9:46
Speaker 2: Well and it does, and and people will scoff at
9:48
Speaker 2: the give a give a rip factor and the care factor.
9:51
Speaker 2: Uh when when it is this long of a season
9:55
Speaker 2: on a night in a night out, basis, when you're struggling,
9:58
Speaker 2: and I include the when you're struggling, that's got to
10:01
Speaker 2: be one of the toughest things, like because we all
10:04
Speaker 2: have it in every walk of life. Any job, stuff
10:07
Speaker 2: gets hard. There is a moment where you're just like this, right,
10:11
Speaker 2: like what else am I supposed to do?
10:12
Speaker 5: Here?
10:13
Speaker 2: What?
10:13
Speaker 5: What?
10:13
Speaker 2: What? What else am I supposed to do?
10:14
Speaker 5: That?
10:16
Speaker 2: It's inevitable to have that moment, but to be able
10:19
Speaker 2: to fight through that for the young player, that's it's ultimately,
10:24
Speaker 2: I think what separates the guys that are eight to
10:26
Speaker 2: ten year pros and the guys that kind of flame
10:29
Speaker 2: out after a while. To be able to have that
10:31
Speaker 2: many guys going through all of those At the same time,
10:35
Speaker 2: I think it's easier to go through tough experiences with
10:39
Speaker 2: like minded people, people that are in a lot similar
10:41
Speaker 2: walk of life. That's one of I don't know that
10:43
Speaker 2: that's groundbreaking, but when you see somebody who's gotten through
10:46
Speaker 2: all of them m hm, just chilling at the top
10:49
Speaker 2: and as comfortable and confident talking to everybody and helping
10:53
Speaker 2: with everybody else, like Yelich's voice in those struggles and
10:58
Speaker 2: those ups and downs for the young player has to
11:00
Speaker 2: be pretty difficult and different level of ability to be
11:05
Speaker 2: able to level with all of the players, Right, I've
11:07
Speaker 2: been in your shoes. Maybe maybe you weren't a first
11:09
Speaker 2: round pick like I was, but but I was also
11:12
Speaker 2: a stick seventy ops player. And if you have enough
11:16
Speaker 2: guys who are able to get through that, you're you're
11:18
Speaker 2: finding what he just mentioned there of, Hey, it's going
11:21
Speaker 2: to be a care factor through the entire year, but
11:22
Speaker 2: we're going to be able to get through a ton
11:24
Speaker 2: of this stuff together.
11:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, And the culture that Pat Murphy has instilled in
11:28
Speaker 3: the guys, and and the closeness of the team last year,
11:31
Speaker 3: and uh. Yelich also talked about how good it is
11:34
Speaker 3: to be back and with the guys in the clubhouse again.
11:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean the offseason's nice kind of getting some
11:39
Speaker 7: time away, spend the time.
11:40
Speaker 4: With Rental family. But obviously were around those guys a
11:43
Speaker 4: lot during the year, so it's it's good to see
11:45
Speaker 4: everybody and you're going to be back. Obviously we have
11:48
Speaker 4: a close team and guys really joking around each other.
11:50
Speaker 7: So that's the that's the cool part about the first
11:53
Speaker 7: few as it can to just get to see everybody
11:54
Speaker 7: again and catch up and you know, talk about the offseason.
11:59
Speaker 1: There you go.
12:00
Speaker 2: You know, we spend a lot of time and time
12:01
Speaker 2: together as you always spend a lot of time together,
12:03
Speaker 2: so it is nice. It is nice to be able
12:05
Speaker 2: to get a couple of a couple of months away.
12:08
Speaker 2: It does have to be a good deep breath moment
12:10
Speaker 2: where you're like, I'm glad I haven't had to see
12:12
Speaker 2: rich in about three months.
12:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
12:15
Speaker 5: Although I don't I don't think if Yelly is the
12:17
Speaker 5: kind of guy that's gonna be great and you know
12:19
Speaker 5: he's gonna start, you know, getting annoyed with people after
12:21
Speaker 5: a while. I don't see Ellie as that guy, although
12:23
Speaker 5: you never really know with him because he kind of
12:25
Speaker 5: keeps it right here, you know, so he kept he
12:27
Speaker 5: keeps it even keel all the time. So maybe inside
12:30
Speaker 5: there's a blood boiling of like what I gotta get.
12:32
Speaker 1: Away from these guys right now?
12:33
Speaker 2: Man, clubhouse, do you identify Arman? Is that you just
12:37
Speaker 2: mentioned that would get annoyed with a number of individuals.
12:39
Speaker 5: It's gotta be Bryce just because you never hear anything
12:41
Speaker 5: from him, and that's not in a bad way. But
12:44
Speaker 5: like I think the fire burns, like you know, still
12:47
Speaker 5: waters run deep, and then I think Bryces, not that
12:49
Speaker 5: he doesn't like everybody and all these guys they're close,
12:51
Speaker 5: but I'm sure he's like, man, these guys gotta stop
12:53
Speaker 5: talking right now, like I need to get I need
12:57
Speaker 5: to get because like these guys and now Freddy's gone up.
13:00
Speaker 5: But like the guys that are always joking around, dancing
13:02
Speaker 5: and excited all the time, you know, the arminds of
13:04
Speaker 5: the clubhouse.
13:05
Speaker 1: You know, they they're deep down.
13:07
Speaker 5: There were people that we were annoyed with me at
13:09
Speaker 5: probably the type of that type of personality that just didn't.
13:12
Speaker 2: Don't know that it was all that deep.
13:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exact.
13:15
Speaker 2: Like I look but like I do, no, I I
13:17
Speaker 2: think like I could see Bryce ter Rang again. He
13:19
Speaker 2: could be the nicest individual in the world in armand sorry, it's.
13:22
Speaker 1: Not a fact.
13:23
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning doing it by about the date seven,
13:27
Speaker 2: if that guy asked me one more time how I'm doing? Right,
13:31
Speaker 2: Like I can't wait to not have to listen to
13:32
Speaker 2: this guy ask me how I'm doing, Like.
13:34
Speaker 5: This guy tells me one more story again about every
13:36
Speaker 5: city we go to, Like I just don't want to
13:38
Speaker 5: deal with it.
13:39
Speaker 1: No more historic facts.
13:41
Speaker 5: You guys aren't into talking as much. Some guys don't
13:44
Speaker 5: want to, you know, you know, it's don't want to
13:46
Speaker 5: be at one hundred all the time. So that's just
13:48
Speaker 5: some guys live in silence.
13:49
Speaker 2: Some guys only move in silence.
13:51
Speaker 3: Sorry Hunter, continue, No, no, I mean Terrang and Yelly
13:55
Speaker 3: have their lockers right next to each other in the
13:57
Speaker 3: clubhouse in Milwaukee.
13:58
Speaker 2: So wow, what a Yunian.
14:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally or.
14:01
Speaker 2: As or as chilled out as you could possibly be
14:03
Speaker 2: in that corner. I love that one.
14:05
Speaker 1: Yes, And then there's and then there's Bowers in Vaughan.
14:08
Speaker 3: So you have Vaughn who's also not incredibly talkative as well,
14:12
Speaker 3: at least in interviews. I mean, maybe behind the scenes,
14:14
Speaker 3: he is a little sure, but yeah.
14:16
Speaker 5: So.
14:16
Speaker 3: Then also Christian Yelich asked about the NL Central how
14:19
Speaker 3: it shapes up this year and of course being underdogs.
14:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think we have a pretty good division.
14:24
Speaker 7: You know, everybody kind of like stop hole on a
14:26
Speaker 7: little bit, but you know, I think it's a lot
14:28
Speaker 7: of good quality teams.
14:29
Speaker 4: Top to bottom.
14:31
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I started to become that way last
14:34
Speaker 7: year a little bit, and even.
14:35
Speaker 4: More so this year, where there's a lot of quality teams.
14:38
Speaker 7: Everybody's everybody seems to be, you know, trying to win
14:42
Speaker 7: for the most part and put together a really competitive team.
14:45
Speaker 4: And we're doing the same thing.
14:47
Speaker 7: So at the end of the day, you still have
14:49
Speaker 7: to play the games and execute and and find a
14:52
Speaker 7: way to win to see you come out on top
14:54
Speaker 7: of uh.
14:56
Speaker 4: You know, we're starting.
14:58
Speaker 7: Today to make that happens. It's one of those things
15:02
Speaker 7: where it doesn't really matter.
15:03
Speaker 2: But if people.
15:04
Speaker 4: Project at the beginning of the year whether you're gonna
15:07
Speaker 4: win the division lose the division, like you have to
15:08
Speaker 4: go play the game.
15:09
Speaker 7: Just because they say one or the other doesn't really
15:12
Speaker 7: mean much either way. Is there any party that likes
15:14
Speaker 7: from the projections we're gonna under a shoot.
15:18
Speaker 4: Well, honestly, we just don't care. I mean, it's the
15:21
Speaker 4: same story every year.
15:22
Speaker 2: You know.
15:22
Speaker 7: It's like I said, just because they say you're gonna
15:24
Speaker 7: be bad, or just because they say you're gonna to
15:26
Speaker 7: be good, like you still have to play the games
15:28
Speaker 7: and play the six month season and everything that comes
15:30
Speaker 7: with that, and then when all that settles, you kind
15:35
Speaker 7: of find out what kind of team you were.
15:38
Speaker 4: So we kind of ignore it and block.
15:40
Speaker 7: It out, and it's kind of business as usual every
15:43
Speaker 7: single season, kind of the same story.
15:46
Speaker 4: So go out and play and see where're at.
15:49
Speaker 2: Why do you think that is?
15:50
Speaker 7: Why is it the same story every year that you
15:52
Speaker 7: guys are always overlooked?
15:55
Speaker 4: I don't know. I couldn't tell you.
15:57
Speaker 1: I love that. I don't know.
16:00
Speaker 2: I don't know.
16:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do like that this is annoyed or at
16:04
Speaker 5: least I rolls the prognostications as much as we do
16:08
Speaker 5: around here.
16:09
Speaker 3: I kind of like, yeah, yeah, well, And they talked
16:12
Speaker 3: about that throughout the season last year, like they just
16:14
Speaker 3: did not care about the outside noise, you know what
16:16
Speaker 3: people thought about them. They were just going to go
16:18
Speaker 3: out and I mean, look, they know it, they know
16:22
Speaker 3: that Milwaukee isn't necessarily going to be projecting to beat
16:25
Speaker 3: Chicago every year, especially when Chicago does what they do
16:28
Speaker 3: in the off season and spends the type of money
16:30
Speaker 3: they did this off season. But look, they have good
16:33
Speaker 3: of a chance as anybody because of the team they're
16:35
Speaker 3: bringing back.
16:36
Speaker 2: I think Murph talking about it last year was the
16:39
Speaker 2: he was the loudest right, like he would whenever. It
16:42
Speaker 2: seemed like for the first month and a half, you
16:44
Speaker 2: guys mentioned everybody around you, well, what do we do
16:48
Speaker 2: in the off season? It's attracted everybody else got better?
16:52
Speaker 2: What did you expect? Everybody else got better? And there's
16:54
Speaker 2: an understanding in the central like, hey, you're going to
16:58
Speaker 2: have to be able to keep up. And even the
17:00
Speaker 2: Pirates are offering like one hundred million dollar contracts now
17:03
Speaker 2: someone signing for one fifty. Maybe it wasn't all that genuine,
17:06
Speaker 2: but like they're out here actually somewhat trying for the
17:09
Speaker 2: first time in a long time. You got the Reds
17:12
Speaker 2: who have clearly made a conscious decision to not be
17:15
Speaker 2: cheeks every single year again, and they have a decent
17:18
Speaker 2: baseball history, So people are trying. But I do like
17:21
Speaker 2: how he mentioned Arman as well, like the national perspective
17:24
Speaker 2: is just the division's gonna be a walkover. Well, the
17:25
Speaker 2: AL Central might have been, but it is a flyover
17:30
Speaker 2: part of being in the Central Division. It feels like
17:33
Speaker 2: everybody on the East coast, we'll talk about how brutal
17:36
Speaker 2: the al NL East are, and then people on the
17:38
Speaker 2: West coast only at the Dodgers and like, well, who
17:40
Speaker 2: cares about this side? But it is a flyover spot
17:43
Speaker 2: of the competitiveness that the NL Central was put together
17:46
Speaker 2: over the last year and a half, and it is
17:48
Speaker 2: going to get better because teams are The only team
17:51
Speaker 2: now that's punting is maybe the strangest one out of
17:53
Speaker 2: all of it, guys, And that's the same Lewis Cardinal.
17:56
Speaker 5: Why's the one I was gonna say, basically, is that
17:58
Speaker 5: that's the one team that's pretty much said, all right, well,
18:00
Speaker 5: we're not going to try any more to be good
18:01
Speaker 5: and we're just going to be bad for a while
18:02
Speaker 5: and we just don't care. Never thought that would happen,
18:05
Speaker 5: but yeah, that the prognostication about the division that it
18:08
Speaker 5: was going to be down was last year and then
18:10
Speaker 5: it proved it wrong.
18:11
Speaker 1: So I thought it might change a little bit. But hey,
18:13
Speaker 1: I guess maybe that's part of it again, but this
18:15
Speaker 1: should be a good division.
18:17
Speaker 3: Also, last one here for you just I thought it
18:19
Speaker 3: was a really good answer here, just talking about what
18:23
Speaker 3: the really Christian Yelich and he once he went to
18:27
Speaker 3: the offseason kind of regrouped and thought about the season.
18:30
Speaker 3: His takeaways from twenty twenty five as a team.
18:32
Speaker 4: As a baseball season. You know, there's a lot of
18:34
Speaker 4: ups and downs.
18:35
Speaker 7: I don't think we ended the year how wad up
18:37
Speaker 7: like to, you know, step away from where we wanted
18:42
Speaker 7: to be. There's a lot of good things, but not
18:44
Speaker 7: the end. It wasn't what we wanted.
18:47
Speaker 4: Read. We just didn't play well in that last series,
18:51
Speaker 4: and that's what happens.
18:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, don't play well for a few days and that's
18:55
Speaker 7: a wrap.
18:56
Speaker 4: But I thought we did a lot of good things also.
18:58
Speaker 7: And you know, it's a new year and we've got
19:01
Speaker 7: a lot of new guys, and you know, this team.
19:03
Speaker 4: Story is starting today and we'll see where it ends up.
19:07
Speaker 7: You know, there's a lot of good things we can
19:08
Speaker 7: take from Last year is obviously a specially year.
19:11
Speaker 4: For there's a lot of different reasons for a lot
19:13
Speaker 4: of guys.
19:14
Speaker 7: I think we were counted out more so last year
19:16
Speaker 7: than a lot of the years. There's a lot of
19:19
Speaker 7: question marks going into it. You know, we're not going
19:22
Speaker 7: to talk too much about last year is because it's
19:26
Speaker 7: last year and it has no really impact on this year,
19:29
Speaker 7: good or good or bad.
19:31
Speaker 4: You know, the one thing I will say about last
19:33
Speaker 4: year is I thought it.
19:34
Speaker 7: Was cool to you know, see people and see the
19:37
Speaker 7: fan base kind of rally around that team.
19:40
Speaker 4: And that's the cool.
19:42
Speaker 7: Thing about baseball and what special teams can do like
19:45
Speaker 7: that is it brings people together. If you watch people
19:47
Speaker 7: create memories with their friends, their their friends, their family,
19:50
Speaker 7: And it was cool energy in the city.
19:52
Speaker 4: And uh, it makes those kind of seasons more special
19:54
Speaker 4: when it's like that.
19:55
Speaker 7: And you know, obviously what you could have taken it
19:57
Speaker 7: the whole way because of how special it was, but uh,
20:00
Speaker 7: guys are around last year can kind of see that
20:02
Speaker 7: and try to create more of the same kind of
20:06
Speaker 7: you know magic going out of this year.
20:08
Speaker 2: Do love hearing him talk wistfully and appreciatively about the city, right,
20:15
Speaker 2: Like I mean, obviously he's been here long enough, Like
20:17
Speaker 2: you know that it was gonna be and it at
20:20
Speaker 2: some point we'll we'll tug on the heart strings to
20:22
Speaker 2: see people be able to make those memories. But I
20:24
Speaker 2: just like every time I hear Christian Yelich hunter, it
20:28
Speaker 2: brings me back to my first spring training situation. I'm
20:31
Speaker 2: there with the franchise and two individuals that I used
20:34
Speaker 2: to work with, and Gary Ellerson right playing in the NFL,
20:38
Speaker 2: playing for the Badgers, Like, you're not necessarily gonna not
20:42
Speaker 2: be yourself in the situation, right, Gary's gonna be not
20:46
Speaker 2: apologetically Gee, He's gonna be him, all right. So we're
20:48
Speaker 2: in there and he's talking and Christian Yelich weaves through
20:51
Speaker 2: to go and grab something just got traded, and he's like, hey,
20:54
Speaker 2: make can we talk? Can we can we get you
20:56
Speaker 2: for a couple of minutes, and yellis rick ryl No,
20:59
Speaker 2: Garry just like backhamp palm right to the chest. Come on, brother,
21:03
Speaker 2: with just four players for you to a hundred million bucks.
21:05
Speaker 2: Everyone want to hear from you, man, come on now,
21:07
Speaker 2: everyone wants to hear from you. All right, yeah, sure, fine,
21:13
Speaker 2: And then in the in the conversation he was he
21:16
Speaker 2: was really good, but you could tell it was like
21:19
Speaker 2: not that he's it's gonna be hard for to get
21:21
Speaker 2: him to speak, he wants to say something not necessarily profound,
21:26
Speaker 2: but it seems like he wants to say something that
21:27
Speaker 2: he is going to matter at the end of the day, right,
21:30
Speaker 2: and like to be able to hear him talk about
21:33
Speaker 2: the city and how much it mattered to everybody around.
21:36
Speaker 2: I thought that was pretty cool for somebody who was
21:39
Speaker 2: I mean, he obviously grew up and was born and
21:42
Speaker 2: raised in California. Early part of his career is gonna
21:45
Speaker 2: be in Miami, but there's a different portion of his life.
21:48
Speaker 2: His real adult life has been spent pretty much only
21:51
Speaker 2: here in Milwaukee.
21:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was a special season, and it's gonna
21:55
Speaker 3: be It's gonna be interesting because I think a lot
21:57
Speaker 3: of us are gonna we're gonna compare it to last
21:59
Speaker 3: year as we go throughout this season because of how
22:01
Speaker 3: fresh it is and how special it was, and and
22:05
Speaker 3: you know, we kind of twenty eighteen sticks out, right,
22:07
Speaker 3: there's those years that stick out. Twenty twenty five is
22:10
Speaker 3: going to be won, but hopefully they can kind of
22:12
Speaker 3: prove people wrong again because again it's kind of back
22:15
Speaker 3: to that. Yeah, they're going to be counted out a
22:16
Speaker 3: little bit because of what they subtracted instead of added
22:19
Speaker 3: in the offseason.
22:20
Speaker 2: I'm not going to talk about last season, Arman, but
22:22
Speaker 2: really quick, one thing about last season. Yeah, I just
22:25
Speaker 2: I do. I do appreciate he's like, hey, I'm not
22:27
Speaker 2: going to do this. I Am just going to say
22:28
Speaker 2: one last name.
22:29
Speaker 1: On the birthday. Yeah, but it's about it. I like that.
22:31
Speaker 5: I do think some fans have to like that. He
22:34
Speaker 5: didn't say, you know what, it was a great year.
22:36
Speaker 1: We won a lot of games.
22:37
Speaker 5: We won one of the biggest playoff series in the
22:39
Speaker 5: Game five. So he didn't rest on the laurels and
22:42
Speaker 5: the positives of what it was, because you know, that's
22:44
Speaker 5: one of those NFL, your films, your books, ars, you
22:47
Speaker 5: can make that the big year, like oh we won
22:48
Speaker 5: this big playoff series and we end a crowning achievement
22:51
Speaker 5: and all these things like no, we want to get
22:53
Speaker 5: to the World Series. We expected to, and because we didn't,
22:56
Speaker 5: we weren't happy with it. So you have to like that,
22:58
Speaker 5: if you're like a ring guy, amp and Chip or
23:00
Speaker 5: bus guy, you have to like that. He didn't sit
23:02
Speaker 5: there and talk about like, oh, we did so many
23:05
Speaker 5: great things and it was the season of dreams and
23:07
Speaker 5: all that, because for a lot of fans, it still
23:09
Speaker 5: was you know, hey, we lost the Dodgers, but it
23:11
Speaker 5: was still one of those unbelievable years.
23:13
Speaker 1: But he's like, no, we want to win World Series.
23:14
Speaker 1: So pretty cool.
23:15
Speaker 2: But I thought he and Armen, I know we're going
23:18
Speaker 2: out and we're gonna get Dolph here on the other side.
23:19
Speaker 2: But I do think he did a perfect job of
23:22
Speaker 2: just like a little nod stat like what special runs
23:25
Speaker 2: can do. Sure it was a run, but we want
23:28
Speaker 2: we want a deeper run, and now we have become
23:30
Speaker 2: accustomed to seeing this run, we want to see what
23:32
Speaker 2: the next ring of the ladder is like and being
23:35
Speaker 2: able to get back to the place that this team
23:37
Speaker 2: has only been one time in nineteen eighty two. Scott
23:39
Speaker 2: Dolphin going to join us. Coming up on the other side.
23:42
Speaker 2: I'm Billy Schmid hanging out with us. Our friend Brian

Speaker 2: from f M. One oh six to one. Dolph, you
24:15
Speaker 2: missed the action this morning. I don't know if I
24:16
Speaker 2: don't know if the boys filled you in. No, we
24:19
Speaker 2: did it. We we had a we had a little
24:21
Speaker 2: bit of a potential kerfuffle this morning when when we
24:25
Speaker 2: fired this bad boy up six o'clock here at the
24:29
Speaker 2: at the the Hills, you know, the the adult fifty
24:32
Speaker 2: five and over facility, Uh that we're staying at my parents.
24:36
Speaker 1: Here the Hills, not not like the Pines and mark Gables.
24:39
Speaker 2: Or the Steiffer's Hills or there's like everything. There's like
24:44
Speaker 2: ninety four different signs out in these front areas, and
24:47
Speaker 2: every one of these places kind of looks the same
24:48
Speaker 2: along these golf courses. So it's the Hills, the Eye
24:51
Speaker 2: whatever it ends up being what one of these spots, Dolph.
24:55
Speaker 2: We had some action. I woke up one of the
24:57
Speaker 2: individuals and he grabbed some some pebbles and was throw
25:00
Speaker 2: it up here, trying to to throw us off our
25:02
Speaker 2: game because we we threw him off his morning routine.
25:06
Speaker 2: But it does seem like everything's calmed down. But we
25:09
Speaker 2: had some action this morning. It was, it was, It
25:11
Speaker 2: was an interesting start.
25:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, right off the bat, you threw me because you
25:14
Speaker 6: said hills, and I think Florida.
25:17
Speaker 1: That's kind of an oxymoron, isn't it. There are there?
25:19
Speaker 2: Correct?
25:20
Speaker 1: Are there actually hills in Florida?
25:23
Speaker 2: No, very much man made over here on this golf course.
25:25
Speaker 2: Like I mean this, like thirteen foot undulation that I
25:28
Speaker 2: think these guys are trying to hit over here on
25:30
Speaker 2: their par five. That would be about it. But you're right,
25:33
Speaker 2: yes it would. It would be the palms or something
25:35
Speaker 2: like that. But they'll find different ways.
25:38
Speaker 5: Oh so no, wait, not only not only was an
25:40
Speaker 5: eastern time that you're also on the golf course there,
25:43
Speaker 5: so guys hit balls into this guy's yard anyway, all
25:46
Speaker 5: the windows. So this guy again has less to complain
25:49
Speaker 5: about for me. So I'm getting more and more mad
25:51
Speaker 5: with old boy below.
25:52
Speaker 1: Billy.
25:53
Speaker 5: That's that's crying about this right now, Go cry somewhere else.
25:56
Speaker 5: Big guy and golf really quickly brought up something to us.
26:00
Speaker 5: It's fat Tuesday.
26:01
Speaker 1: He should to be celebrating, right, he should be. It
26:03
Speaker 1: is fat Tuesday.
26:04
Speaker 5: We forgot to mention that it's a fat Tuesday, just
26:06
Speaker 5: like yesterday, I forgot to mention his President's Day.
26:08
Speaker 1: So I'm not on top of my game here this week.
26:10
Speaker 6: Well, President's Day is one of those days where you know,
26:13
Speaker 6: if you're in banking, or in education or in government,
26:17
Speaker 6: you probably don't pay much attention to it unless you're
26:19
Speaker 6: looking for a sweet deal at best Buy or maybe
26:22
Speaker 6: you can get half of everything.
26:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Bob's discomfort.
26:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, but but but fat Tuesday is pretty special around Milwaukee.
26:32
Speaker 6: And I I knew nothing about this tradition before I
26:34

Speaker 2: Well, Dolph, because that you you were just gonna almost
27:49
Speaker 2: stepped right on the hornets nest. That is one of
27:51
Speaker 2: my favorite parts of Fat Tuesday in the city is
27:54
Speaker 2: because armand Will Will wonder when we used to live
27:56
Speaker 2: in a proper radio society, when there was just like,
27:59
Speaker 2: what do you say, why are there not boxes of
28:01
Speaker 2: these just sitting here in the back? Why are they
28:04
Speaker 2: not just boxes?
28:06
Speaker 5: I do say that once a year. Now it does
28:08
Speaker 5: seem like that. It feels like those days. And maybe
28:11
Speaker 5: it was COVID. We used to have so many of them.
28:13
Speaker 5: We used to be up to our noses in jelly
28:17
Speaker 5: filled donut.
28:21
Speaker 6: And ambulance used to drop off tray after tray of canol.
28:28
Speaker 1: But hey, well I want abut am. I The nice
28:31
Speaker 1: thing is I'm not going to complain about it. Good.
28:34
Speaker 2: I am glad you're not going to complain about it,
28:35
Speaker 2: because that would have been something that you totally would
28:38
Speaker 2: have done in a prior life. But it is uh
28:40
Speaker 2: and and I even saw like cream City Coffee was
28:44
Speaker 2: I was firing in everyone's jumping on it, Dolph. I
28:50
Speaker 2: guess I'll try. I guess I can't knock the prune
28:52
Speaker 2: because I don't know that I've actually ever grabbed the prune.
28:55
Speaker 1: Sure, I'll admit that one.
28:56
Speaker 6: I don't know if there's actual prunes in the prune.
29:00
Speaker 6: I know it's it's prune flavored, but I've always liked
29:04
Speaker 6: sweeter fruits, and I know people make fun of prue.
29:07
Speaker 1: It's there, you know, it keeps you moving and all
29:09
Speaker 1: that stuff. Are they more bitter? Prunes are sweet? They're
29:12
Speaker 1: like an apricot. Yeah, prune juice is bitter. Maybe that's
29:16
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. No, it's not. What are you drinking
29:17
Speaker 1: over there?
29:18
Speaker 5: I don't drink prune juice, but one time I I
29:22
Speaker 5: don't want to get to one time I drank some
29:24
Speaker 5: prune juice for a reason. Yeah, and I didn't find
29:28
Speaker 5: it all that sweet. Tasties, you're just saying it's sweet.
29:31
Speaker 1: You know, normally it's sweet.
29:32
Speaker 6: I haven't had prune juice in a long time, but
29:34
Speaker 6: I eat prune.
29:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you when you have the day old version,
29:38
Speaker 2: it's probably a lot cold grosser, Like I mean, when
29:41
Speaker 2: you have the when you have the one that has
29:43
Speaker 2: the reduced tag on it. That's probably why the prune
29:46
Speaker 2: juice wasn't so sweet. It was a little sour because
29:48
Speaker 2: it's been sitting there for a while.
29:49
Speaker 5: Look, I figured discom prune juice was fine, all right,
29:53
Speaker 5: I mean prue themselves are dried.
29:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, well right, it does say that prune is usually
29:59
Speaker 3: the prunes are used in there, pitted prunes and then
30:02
Speaker 3: some small amount of water, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest,
30:06
Speaker 3: and then you get you get kind of that thick
30:08
Speaker 3: mashed blended paste. If you enjoy a prune.
30:14
Speaker 5: I know Hunter loves. I don't think I'm speaking of
30:17
Speaker 5: turn you like dessert cake?
30:19
Speaker 2: Cake?
30:20
Speaker 1: Is that is my Yeah? That is my go to you.
30:22
Speaker 1: Are you a big punch like, are you big? Don't
30:24
Speaker 1: like guy?
30:25
Speaker 5: Yeah?
30:25
Speaker 3: I I enjoy it, donut I don't have them as much? Yeah, yeah,
30:31
Speaker 3: I know, so I think that's that's uh.
30:34
Speaker 1: Hey, look it.
30:35
Speaker 2: Sounds like sounds like Hunter needs to be available of
30:39
Speaker 2: a kink cake to celebrate fat Cake? Is that I
30:43
Speaker 2: mean if we're if we're gonna yeah, if we're going
30:45
Speaker 2: to celebrate fat Tuesday, then we go get you a
30:47
Speaker 2: king cake. If you're you're a cake.
30:49
Speaker 1: Guy, you see if there's something in it right that's
30:51
Speaker 1: right for the baby.
30:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta go.
30:55
Speaker 1: I remember that in school. Yeah, full the full disclosure.
30:57
Speaker 1: I am not a kink cake guy.
30:59
Speaker 6: I never really care for the texture and the it's
31:02
Speaker 6: a little it's almost like they're doing it on the cheap,
31:05
Speaker 6: but they're not well very expensive.
31:08
Speaker 5: It's glitter and it's it's all the glitter thing. Yeah,
31:10
Speaker 5: but the frost and can be the colors are cool. Yeah,
31:14
Speaker 5: but the colors prize and margins involved. It's kind of
31:16
Speaker 5: like a like a poor man's cinnamon roll.
31:19
Speaker 1: Now, I'm I'm sure it's like.
31:22
Speaker 2: It's like a it's like a fun fetty cake meat
31:25
Speaker 2: cinnamon roll, and both sides are not as good as
31:27
Speaker 2: it probably could be. I'm kind of wiped off on
31:29
Speaker 2: that one.
31:29
Speaker 6: But I love tradition and I love this the story
31:32
Speaker 6: behind the King Cake, and I think it probably goes
31:34
Speaker 6: back to the birth of Christ or something, right, I mean,
31:36
Speaker 6: if it's a little baby and a cake, I'm sure.
31:38
Speaker 1: I don't know that.
31:40
Speaker 5: I don't know if they were in Jerusalem bacon kink,
31:43
Speaker 5: but maybe yes.
31:46
Speaker 2: What else I mean, I don't know, maybe maybe there
31:49
Speaker 2: was something else. I know that there was some MRD
31:51
Speaker 2: that was dropped off at Three Kings. Maybe they grabbed
31:54
Speaker 2: them a cake too.
31:55
Speaker 1: Did have three Kings? You had the gifts wiscons gold
32:01
Speaker 1: and now, yeah, it would be king cake.
32:03
Speaker 5: You know what else you bring to the party, you know,
32:06
Speaker 5: dip and uh and summer sausage.
32:12
Speaker 2: Appearing appearance would bring in the dip and to the
32:15
Speaker 2: dessert platter, Dolph as as we're we're enjoying the Fat
32:19
Speaker 2: Tuesday celebration. It does also then bring into uh, I
32:23
Speaker 2: guess I get to give up talking about giving something
32:25
Speaker 2: up for for lent. That'll be fun to be able
32:27
Speaker 2: to get into tomorrow for the conversation. But uh, I
32:30
Speaker 2: appreciate the fact that now I'll just be able to
32:33
Speaker 2: feast on a couple of Klondike bars tonight and then
32:35
Speaker 2: I don't have to feel bad about it.
32:37
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, giving up for I remember as a kid,
32:40
Speaker 6: grew up Catholic, I used to dread it because I thought,
32:43
Speaker 6: first off, what am I going to give up? Sure,
32:46
Speaker 6: and my mom would always tell me, now, it can't
32:47
Speaker 6: be something that you don't really like, because that was
32:49
Speaker 6: kind of my youmo at the time, Well I'm gonna
32:52
Speaker 6: give this.
32:52
Speaker 1: I was always fact, you don't like, you gotta give
32:55
Speaker 1: up something.
32:55
Speaker 6: So so that was I thought, how am I going
32:57
Speaker 6: to live without this particular thing for the next six weeks?
32:59
Speaker 6: And how am I not going to eat meat on
33:02
Speaker 6: Friday for the next six weeks? You always found a way,
33:05
Speaker 6: but it was it was the struggle was real when
33:08
Speaker 6: you were nine and ten years old man back in
33:10
Speaker 6: the day.
33:10
Speaker 5: Because you want to you have to give up something
33:12
Speaker 5: that's worth giving up. Like that's gonna count. Like you
33:15
Speaker 5: can't just say I'm giving up broccoli. You have to
33:18
Speaker 5: give up something you indulge in.
33:20
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, My Protestant fends would rub it in my face.
33:21
Speaker 6: You know, they were sitting there eating brats in front
33:23
Speaker 6: of me. How's it going, bro Oh?
33:27
Speaker 2: Well, And the best thing is I went to a
33:29
Speaker 2: I went to a Catholic grade school growing up, so
33:31
Speaker 2: we had we had all of the fish sticks and
33:34
Speaker 2: everything else. Yeah, for lunch on Fridays golf. I don't
33:37
Speaker 2: eat anything that swims, so any kind of scent of
33:42
Speaker 2: the fish, uh, becomes a little bit of a of
33:45
Speaker 2: a trigger and a reflex for your boy. Little did
33:48
Speaker 2: I know that I was going to raise a kid
33:49
Speaker 2: who literally asks for tuna fish to go to bed with,
33:53
Speaker 2: so like, like as a nighttime snack, can we get
33:56
Speaker 2: some tuna fish? So, like, I guess I'm prepared for
33:59
Speaker 2: that part. It is. I don't even worry about the
34:02
Speaker 2: sacrifice or the giving something up. It's the fact that
34:04
Speaker 2: I gotta smell so much fish all the time, and
34:07
Speaker 2: then I gotta talk to people about it all the
34:09
Speaker 2: time as to why I don't eat fish because it's
34:11
Speaker 2: slimy and weird tasting. That's why I know you guys
34:15
Speaker 2: make it better than everybody else. I know that the
34:18
Speaker 2: folks over here at your spot for Friday fish fry,
34:22
Speaker 2: I have to try that one than everyone else's. It'll
34:27
Speaker 2: be the same slimy piece of fish. And I appreciate
34:30
Speaker 2: that you like it, but stop trying to make it
34:33
Speaker 2: then force it down my throat? No pause?
34:35
Speaker 6: What about some deep fried like coconut shrimp, billy?
34:41
Speaker 1: What about it? If you have it with this? What
34:43
Speaker 1: about this?
34:43
Speaker 6: I mean, tuna fish is a very odoriferous smelling fish.
34:48
Speaker 3: Word good word there? Yeah he chose, uh, little one chose. Yeah,
34:55
Speaker 3: that's that's quite a choice there. If you're if you're
34:57
Speaker 3: not loving the smell, what's.
35:00
Speaker 2: Then you decide, Hey, maybe some tuna fish before.
35:08
Speaker 6: The traumatical experience in your past growing up that you
35:10
Speaker 6: just decided you didn't like fish eating it?
35:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, arman, thank you, Yes, eating it I'd
35:17
Speaker 2: like No, I mean I probably did throw it up
35:20
Speaker 2: one time, right, Like there might have been a moment
35:22
Speaker 2: where it was. But I just don't like the texture.
35:25
Speaker 2: I don't like the smell. I don't like the way
35:27
Speaker 2: it feels in my hands. Like it just it's a
35:30
Speaker 2: correct thank you like to me, just it feels like
35:33
Speaker 2: a pauseworthy moment the whole time I'm eating dinner and
35:37
Speaker 2: I just I can't have it. I will go with
35:40
Speaker 2: a lot of cheese pizzas potentially, or or I'll just like,
35:44
Speaker 2: you know, walk over with a steak and I'll sit
35:46
Speaker 2: down and my wife will be like, yeah, you know
35:48
Speaker 2: what data is Like me and the big guy got it.
35:52
Speaker 2: We got a deal. All right, we got a deal.
35:55
Speaker 2: We're we're wiping this one clean. Well, we'll talk about
35:58
Speaker 2: it next.
35:58
Speaker 6: Well, if you get special mission from the big Remember this
36:01
Speaker 6: happened on opening day.
36:02
Speaker 1: Several years ago.
36:03
Speaker 6: The archbishop stepped in and said, it is okay for
36:05
Speaker 6: this one good Friday. You and you're a you're all good,
36:11
Speaker 6: go ahead to have your brought worst on good Friday.
36:13
Speaker 1: I'm not any bean brots or whatever they.
36:15
Speaker 6: You know, I haven't tried that. I know, I haven't
36:17
Speaker 6: even beat the black bean burger. That's all right're okay.
36:22
Speaker 6: I like beans, but it's just not the same. It
36:24
Speaker 6: doesn't replace it. It's not that I dislike it, just
36:27
Speaker 6: doesn't replace it. If we gave Billy a taste test,
36:29
Speaker 6: could he decide the difference between a black bean burger
36:32
Speaker 6: or an impossible burger and a real burger?
36:34
Speaker 1: Yes, I think he could.
36:36
Speaker 2: Now the impossible one. I don't know that I was.
36:39
Speaker 1: Some of those are really good, really tough.
36:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I will, and I'll mess around with the
36:44
Speaker 2: black bean burger once in a while. I'll definitely always
36:47
Speaker 2: choose real burger, sure with meat and you know, maybe
36:51
Speaker 2: a little bit medium to get a little pink in there,
36:53
Speaker 2: because I I don't want it move in, but I
36:55
Speaker 2: want to I want to feel a little bit of it.
36:57
Speaker 1: Sure, I would.
36:58
Speaker 2: I would definitely say, though, Dolph, they do some pretty
37:02
Speaker 2: impressive stuff with some of those fate those those mock
37:05
Speaker 2: burgers that are not nearly as bad as I would
37:08
Speaker 2: like to tell my wife.
37:09
Speaker 1: They northwestern Wisconsin, you're superior.
37:11
Speaker 6: If you ever get to that area, the Luth, the
37:13

Speaker 6: love wild rice too. Yeah, I do too. I never
37:28
Speaker 6: have it, but I should get that often right. And
37:31

Speaker 6: It's not actually rice, it's it's grass. It's wild grass.
37:37
Speaker 6: Wild rice as wild grass. There's your fact of the day.
