  Speaker 1: We're glad you're with us, Friday in the Good Land,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: heading into a Labor Day weekend. Drew, Billy, and Armand,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio, 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison, everywhere
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: on that iHeart app of yours, streaming live on Facebook, X,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and YouTube. You can reach us, nicolaylaw.com, talk at text
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: line 877-794-1973. Some folks been pounded with rain in our area. Oh,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: goodness gracious. The last six-hour rainfall total is quite impressive.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Hope everybody's basement is dry and the pets are not
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: bothered by the thunderstorm.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: You got to keep them. So keep them some pumps rolling.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Cause goodness gracious. Five inches and say in six hours. Yep.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: My Lord. Holy cow. Digis pro digits. It's supposed to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: be a nice day. The middle of the day is
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: supposed to be pretty decent. Then maybe more chance of
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: showers tonight. Brewers lose last evening at Wrigley field. They
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: end up with a split. This is one of those
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: losses that you can't really ruminate over. What's there to say?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Like they scored one run. Andrew Vaughn hit a homer.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: PCA hit a homer. Theirs came with a guy on base.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Both pitchers were awesome. Both bullpens were great. Man, there's
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: nothing to say.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: No, and their guy in the home run that Pete
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Crow Armstrong hits out, I was watching it during the break.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Pitching Ninja did a sweet overlay.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: He pops one up to medium-depth right field in the
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: first inning, throws him the same 2-1 changeup in the
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: third inning, and he somehow gets enough barrel on it
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: to golf it out. That's a hat tipper. It's not
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: a strike. It's not a bad pitch at all.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: That's the thing.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: They can say that he made one mistake. I don't
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: even know that's really a mistake. That's a great piece
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: of hitting by a guy right now that's going to
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: win the MVP. You're going to lose a game like
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: that if you can only score one freaking run.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: And not get enough action.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: But Gosman was fantastic, you know, and that's the one thing,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: the one positive silver lining for Cubs fans coming out
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: of this thing because they came out the same spot
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: that you were in when you walked in.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: That was a... So that's a win. That's a great win.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: That's a resounding win for the Brewers. Correct. And not
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: lose any ground in that. Yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: But if you're looking at this from Chicago's standpoint and
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: they got to grab any glimmers of hope that they
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: can have, the two wins that they get are their
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: two deadline acquisitions. who pitched phenomenally. Gaussman was phenomenal yesterday.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Holmes was even better in game one. At least that's
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: a little bit of positivity for them because they're now
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: into a wildcard race, no longer a division title race.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: They know, okay, we feel comfortable starting those guys in
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a playoff series, knowing we paid for these guys in
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: terms of, you know, obviously capital, and they both pitched well.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: So that is their positive there, as now they have
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to deal with getting their playoff spot together.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: So Carson Kelly's single in front of the PCA home run. PCA...
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: And we can say, we could talk a lot about him.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You know, he's one of the guys, punchable face and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: all that, the blue haired kid, the hell of a player.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: He's going to be a thorn in Milwaukee side for
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a long time. He's embraced all that is Chicago going out.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: He's got a deal. He's got the deal. He's mixing
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it up with supporting the other Chicago team. He's already beloved.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: He's already iconic.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: We need one of those guys to have a business
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: deal that just goes really haywire and falls through. Because
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: we had this whole thing going on in 2011. We
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: had a great vibe of this rolling in 2010. Well,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: we had the double dose. Where you have two MVPs,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: and both are hanging out, and the quarterback of the
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: football team and the best player on the baseball team,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: seemingly our best friends, seemingly hanging out all the time.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: One of them's buying in on the Bucs. Then you
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: have Giannis buying in on the Brewers.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: And I don't know that I ever saw any of
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: those guys sitting behind the dugout hammering beers, hanging out
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: during the game.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Nope. That would have been nice. That would have been fun. Yeah, together,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. Yeah, they weren't together. Or individually. I
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: saw Rodgers and Braun hanging at the Wisconsin Sports Awards
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: one time. Yeah, for sure.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: But I'm saying from that standpoint, that's cool. You're waking
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: up as a Chicago sports fan today, and that is
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: absolute jet fuel for the fandom.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Would have been cool if that could have been the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: case for the last 15, 20 years. We had chances.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: With PCA, take his personality and all that stuff out
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: of it. If it looks like a duck, if it
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: quacks like a duck, The dude's an MVP and he
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: was bringing to mind Yelich's season in 18. Oh, very similar. Yes.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: All right. We need a double here. Here's a double.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Yelich is need a Homer. Here's a Homer. Oh, nobody's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: really doing anything. I'm four for four with, you know, you.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Know, Yellich's run started in middle of late July and
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: his started in the beginning of June.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Beginning of June when they moved him to the leadoff spot.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: The team took off and he took off. It's very
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: reminiscent of it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: It's a cool one to know that they're still going
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: to be hanging out in the wildcard series and potentially
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: getting bounced by Philly in round number one.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I'll take it.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: That is a beautiful, beautiful possibility there.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: At least if they don't lose that series, then Philly
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: gets bounced, and they're a threat to everybody. So, yeah,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: but that would be good if they played them in
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the first round. So, yeah, he's definitely, it seems like
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: his future is very, very bright, Drew, and he will
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: be a problem for a long time. You only hope
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: that somehow, some way, for some reason, that the early
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: part of his career is his best, and it's not
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: like the Chris Bryant type of thing where it never
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: fulfills the rest of his destiny that you thought it would.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: That's all you can really hope for, but other than that,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: it seems like he's going to be a problem for
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: a long time. Because that's what we thought about Chris Bryant, too.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: And it didn't really last that way. And some of
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: those other guys were really good. Like, Yelich had his
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: peak year, two years, and was good otherwise, but hadn't
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: been the MVP yet.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. I like that. Plan a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: couple of seasons down there. You've got to hope for that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I like that. I'm not cheering for him to succeed,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: that's for sure.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that. You have to hope something bad happens.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: The Bryant one is a phenomenal comparison. Not a comparison
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: to PCA because he had a couple of years before.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: when he first came up, right? And he's been in
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: the system, in the big leagues for a tick. Bryant
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: walked in and was one of the best players in baseball.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Rookie of the year, I think. Rookie of the year,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: MVP in second year. And then all of a sudden, thanks.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: There haven't been a whole lot of case studies of
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: that where you walk up and not only are you
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: a really good player, you're freaking awesome to start. And
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: then all of a sudden... What, they can't even find
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: you in AAA in 10 years? Yeah, there are some
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: guys that have really fallen off. Maybe like Bellinger. I mean, obviously,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: we talked to him.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: He's still good. Bellinger's still a hell of a player.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: He's still an all-star this year.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: He just had a big drop-off, and Raleigh had a
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: big drop. But there are guys like that. I mean,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I expect PCA to still be a good player no
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: matter what. There's a certain floor there.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: That's going to be. Elite defensively, yeah, he's going to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: be a problem for a long time. So get used
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: to hating PCA because you're going to hate him. He's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: going to be the MVP. Sorry, go ahead. I was
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: just going to say, we're not talking enough about Logan Henderson. Yeah,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: he was good, man. Great start. Seven innings, three hits.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: The one pitch that was not a mistake that was
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: hit out of the park. It was a good pitch, really.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Didn't walk anybody. What did he strike out? Seven?
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Seven Ks and seven innings. And I don't know if
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: you guys thought he was going out for the seventh.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I sure as heck didn't.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: His ERA is 2.48. I mean, which is, again, if
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: he wasn't overshadowed by Miz, he'd be the talk of
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the town. Yeah, he really would be. To have that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: one-two punch, and he's, well, as of, like, We rely
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: on what we've seen most recently. He's pitching better than Miz.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: And you got three 24-year-olds, Kyle Harrison just turned 25
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, that are headlining your rotation
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: and probably all three going to be your playoff starters. Now,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: hopefully Harrison starts figuring it out and we can get
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: him starting at home. But that stuff from Logan Henderson
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: will play anywhere. He's an absolute stud. With the porn stash.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I was going to say the porn stash makes it
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: a lot better. I like the cut of his jib
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: when he first came up, Drew, because of the stash.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: And then when he walks out on the mound shoeless,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: elevates even more. Then you roll out here and shove
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: consistently and keep his super special streak of what? Never
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: giving up more than three earned runs in a start.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: He's given up more than three earned runs in a start.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: It's an incredible run that they have seen him go
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: on here.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, so his shoeless thing is great because he's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: pitching well. But, like, you know, J.J. McCarthy's meditation and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: sitting down, you know, that kind of stuff. It's not
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: washing over that great now because he's not been good.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just like even the stash. I mean, we
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: love it because he's pitching well. I mean, he's brought
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: out a great stash, too.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And the tightest pants of all time. The tightest
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: pants known to man.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: So they had the stash thing going on with the
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: young pitchers for a while. I wouldn't say Drohan's.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I said Drohan.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's really weird. was a stache,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: but he had some facial hair. So the stache is
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: definitely popular again. This is like the late 80s again.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Henderson and Harrison. Harrison's got some stuff to figure out.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: They've got to figure out with Miz, the mound. Mound stuff.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: They said they have a plan. Yeah, they have a plan.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: They don't want to share it. But Henderson's been just
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: an absolute constant, and it's fantastic.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: To see so well and I wouldn't have I thought
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: that they would be nursing him a lot more at
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: the back end of the year I think that might
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: be one of the most intriguing things because he battled
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: some arm issues coming up right struggled with staying healthy
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: early on and we've talked a lot about Harrison because
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: he's you felt his drop off here the most innings
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: that he threw five starts last year did Logan Henderson
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I pitched in triple-a obviously a decent amount but 25
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: big league innings last year to 83 he took what
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: six weeks off with that back injury He had about
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: six to eight weeks in the early part of the
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: summer off with that back injury, and maybe that's what
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: ultimately is allowing him to still be this good and
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: not kind of wear down here at the end of
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: the year. You just have too much youth in the
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: rotation to not expect somebody, and plan on a couple
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: of them, probably hitting a wall and at least crowbarring
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: in unforeseen, but it probably was a blessing in disguise
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: that he was down for that time to be able
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: to have this kind of a role that you're getting
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: in the back end of the year for him. Because
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: otherwise you'd be, otherwise you'd be cooked. Could you imagine
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: if he would have pitched all the way through there?
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: You got the issues rolling with Harrison right now. You
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: got Logan Henderson hitting a wall and potentially coming up
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: on an inning shutdown limit. It's one of the quieter
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: parts about drawing is that he's hit all the way
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: up against the ceiling that they put on his innings.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: And here into the month of September, you're the best
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: team in baseball and you'd be, running low on innings
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: with your best guys. They've, they had some very serendipitous
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: time off for some of these guys to be able
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: to keep them healthy and rolling at this point.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: That's right. That's right. 877-794-1973. So the big series to
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: end all series ends in a split. Not good for
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the Cubs. They needed more than that.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: No, this is a failure for the Brewers held service
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: for us.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: And I, you know, I still maintain that the division now,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: You don't want to have a letdown. You don't want
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to have a hangover. You're going to Great American Ballpark.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: It's going to be hot there. The ball's going to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: be jumping, as it always does. And they're going to
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: be swinging for those fences. Yeah. So that's different. And
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't that a park where Miz had problems with the mound? No,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: he's not going to throw that. That was where he
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: had his first ones last year. That's what I thought. Yep.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: And that's a band box at Place Small. During the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: game last night, I think it was Rosenthal asked counts
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: about what's it been like managing here? Because the Cubs
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: went crazy in August, but Wrigley Field has been an
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: absolute band box. It's been a launching pad. And Counts gave,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: as usual, a good answer off the cuff. He's just like, well, yeah,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: it changes the way we evaluate pitchers, and a five-run
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: lead feels like a two-run lead. You have to consider
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: it like that. Games are totally different. Yeah, and it's like,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: that's part of the calculus. It is what it is,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: but it was especially hitter-friendly in August. Well, for his team, too, yeah. Yeah, well,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the Cubs set a record for homers in a month, right?
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: The flip side of that is your pitchers are going
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to give them up. Yeah. It's the double-edged sword. And
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. So you have a five run lead.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: It's like, Oh, let's just let this guy keep going. No,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: because two swings and we're back into being even. And like, that's,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And that comes with managing at Wrigley. That and the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: day games.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: It might not be Coors Field, but the ball's jumping
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: out of there, especially in the day games, Drew.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: That's the other part. The day games when that wind
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: starts blowing.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: And you've got to be able to manage both sides
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: because in April and May, you've got to be able
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: to talk your hitters into the fact that you're not
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: the worst player of all time because you're trying to
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: fist everything out of the infield and you're hitting a
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: cinder block that's coming in when it's 42 degrees.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: There have been a lot of theories about the Cubs
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and that part of the reason that they haven't won historically,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: even with good teams, is is because of all the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: day games they play. Much like Coors Field is different
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: because it skews numbers and performance and you're playing at
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: altitude and a little bit band boxy, right? And we're
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a seven-run lead in Coors Field in the third inning
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: is not the same as a seven-run lead at American
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Family Field, right? No doubt. It's more temporary. But the Cubs,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: people say that, and I've heard them, they're starting to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: lean into how great it is to have all those
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: day games. Like PCA and those guys, like going out
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and having dinner and like, who, who hits free agency
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: in the big leagues, older guys, right. Guys that are
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: 30 guys who might have kids, Alex Bregman guys. Yeah.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And like the Alex Bregman, like, Oh, I can go
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: home and like hang out and play with my kids
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and then put them to bed and like be there
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and stuff. So it is a different existence with the, the,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the day games that they play. But there are some
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: who say, well, that's why they're, you know, the road
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: record's not usually as good. And I don't know. I mean,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: it's fascinating because they've won one World Series in 100 years.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: But they play, and everybody else is on the night schedule,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: but with the Cubs, you're on more of a day schedule.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I think it's an advantage. I know if I worked
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: for the team, if I covered the team, hell yes,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: sign me up. As somebody working for the team, it's
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a much, much better deal. Much better deal. Much better deal.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: As the players, I would... I would wonder how they
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: would feel about it. But Bregman, I think, is the
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: perfect example. My man's had his success in baseball. He
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: was looking for a contract, looking for one with zero opt-outs.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: He's like, I want to have as many guarantees as possible. Sweet,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: I'm going to get $ 35 million. I'm going to get
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: 10 of it. A year, uh, when I'm 50 or so,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: cause he deferred a bunch of the money.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Sweet. And I know that I'm gonna play 50 day games. Yeah.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Sounds good. Like I, I think that's a win.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: It also, I don't know what it would do to
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: your road or home splits and all that good stuff.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: But I also think it engenders just a certain type of, uh, cultures,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: everyone's favorite buzzword. But it's kind of a status thing.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: They're one of the touchstone franchise emblems in baseball. And
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I know that you're playing all those day games. A
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: lot of guys are going to feel intrigued to it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: I appreciate the fact that it gives a lot of
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: opportunities to watch day baseball when we should have more
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: of that during the week to be able to gamble on.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And a lot of those guys live, some of them
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: live within walking distance or easy commute. It's not like
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: they're going back to, you know. They're not living on
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Michigan Avenue, you don't think? Yeah, I don't think so.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: They're not getting stuck in traffic on the Edens and stuff.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: You had to drive back to Elgin today. I was
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: talking to Wayne about this. There's traffic everywhere. I talked
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to Wayne about this in the Beyond the Booth podcast.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: We talked about how, because Wayne lived it. He did
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of Cubs games. And I'm like, yeah, those
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Cubs players, they embrace it. And PCA is embracing it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: And they like that whole thing about going. You see
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: them out at restaurants at night because they're, you know,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: game's over. Sure. It's a good place to be. It's
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: in the summer. Great restaurants, great summer city. Yeah. Wayne
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, well, I lived in the suburbs, so
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I was in traffic. So I was sitting in traffic.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: He didn't get to enjoy the Cubs, the lifestyle. Once again,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: it depends. Some of those guys might have a different
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: stage of life. I don't care what anybody says. That
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: remains the number one circled trip in the big leagues
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: is going to Wrigley. I'm going to have my family
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: come to Wrigley. Oh, for players? Players stay on Michigan Avenue.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about visiting players. Yeah, visiting players. It's like, yeah,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you're going to come to this historic place. It's like
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: coming to Lambeau. But you've got the shopping on Michigan Avenue,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: you've got the restaurants, and it's just like, that is
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the spot. The issue used to be the facilities there, right?
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: For players, they used to hate the small clubhouse.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: They've upgraded a lot. They've upgraded all that stuff. That
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: was a big deal for a while. Pretty good now.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Nobody wanted to sit on top of each other in
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the locker room. There was no good facility, no good
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: bathroom for the players. I remember that was a big problem.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Their amenities now are... They fixed it. They put a
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: lot into it, yeah. And people would circle that, and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: that was not for the brewers because of the proximity,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: but for other... For other teams, if they do a
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: family trip, Chicago's included. It'll be like Chicago-St. Louis. I'd
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: rather go to LA.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I'd rather go to Anaheim like the Brewers had for
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: their family trip.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: That's a pretty good one to be allowed. That's a
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: good family trip, but I'm just saying, wives and girlfriends
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: definitely making the trip to Chicago. Yeah, and all that depends.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: It's probably closer, and it depends on the stage of
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: life they're in and all that stuff.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I could see it. They like it. Yeah, and then
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: even if you're there early in the week, day games
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: get to go to the nice restaurants that you hear
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: about and stuff. It's pretty cool. Pretty good life. I
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: know people here have animus towards Chicago sports teams. I
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: get that. But the city itself is a great place
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: to visit, man. I wouldn't want to live there unless
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I lived between the freeways, unless I was in the
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: hot zones of River North or downtown or something. But
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: pretty good city, got to say. I don't go there
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: very often like I used to, but I always enjoy it.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I've been there once in the last, I don't know,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: five years, and that'll probably be the last time I go.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's cool. It's fun. You'll be taking
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: your boys to a game at Wrigley. Even if the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Brewers aren't playing, you'll be taking your boys and making
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the pilgrimage. Maybe. You have to.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but Drew, for families driving in and out of
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: that area, that's not exactly a great time to be
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: able to take the 10-year-olds to.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Take the train. That's definitely not what I'm going to do.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I definitely don't want my kids rolling on three different
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: forms of public transportation in and out of the run,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: but I definitely know there's a lot of people that
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: will do it. Yeah.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: And I hope, I hope they have a great time
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: with it.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: If you're a kid, it's exciting to do. If you
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: don't do it much, go on a train, but then
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: it's like, it's also a hassle. It's like, all right,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I got to figure out where to go with these
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: kids and.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I don't want to lose them. I also got to
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: know where I'm going. That's what I'm saying.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I also don't know which one that I'm going on. Yeah,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: but again, I hope everybody has a great time down there.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: It is beautiful. They love their lasagna pizza. It is awesome.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: When their boys are older, you'll take them there. You'll
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: make a pilgrimage. I'm predicting it right now. I'll tell
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: you what, the traffic though, man, you can miss me
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: with that. Awful. I was going to say. Just off.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It's terrible. No, Drew, I'm sorry. The traffic's bad. Take
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the train down, get yourself to a hotel. You have to.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: And then just roll down. Yeah, it's not that hard. Yeah,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I'd much rather go to Florida if I'm spending my
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: vacation money.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: And again, I've never been to Boston. I've never been
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: to New York. Those ones are much higher up on
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: my list of going to. But I also have been there.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of unfair to be able to say.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: We'll see. At least it is a shorter trip for us.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I'll say that. It's drivable.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Easily.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Easily. 877-794-1973 gets in. When we come back, Scott Dolphin's
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: going to join the party from the country station down
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the hall. You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Halftime has arrived in the huddle. Drew Billion-Armond bringing it
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to you. We welcome our halftime correspondent, Scott Dolphin from
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: FM 106, the country station down the hall. Dolph, are
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you fired up for Labor Day weekend? I am.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: I'm going to do a little traveling, heading out to
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: my home state of Iowa to watch my beloved Hawks play.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Not in person. Just going to hang out with some buddies.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: And sports bar it. Oh, I love that.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: And then I'm playing at a golf tournament on Sunday
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: morning in the Quad Cities, a place I worked 40
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: years ago when I started my radio career. And those
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: guys that I work with, a couple of them still
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: put a golf tournament on every Labor Day weekend. So
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go back and hang with the fellas
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: from my first radio station.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. On Sunday. Taking the whole family, taking the dog.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: No, everybody else to stay home. It's just me traveling
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: and drinking beer and playing golf. But I'm going to be–
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: I'm excited.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I'm watching the Badgers. I'll be watching the Badgers Sunday night.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: You're going to bring one of the CMAs to that
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: golf outing? Yeah. I think you've got to.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: After that story you ripped out yesterday– With your older brother,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: you've got to drop that thing down.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Those guys that I work with, they had successful radio
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: careers as well. One of them is retired, and one
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: of them is now a station owner in Illinois. So
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: they did okay for themselves, too. I like that.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: He went from running one of the places to owning
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: one of the places. I liked it so much, I
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: bought the company. That's right.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: It's like when your dad's telling you that you should
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: go get one of those jobs at McDonald's, right, in
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: your high school. Like, hey, I know a guy. He
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: worked there, and now he owns one. Now he owns
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: two of them.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: They used to market that. I remember there were commercials about, like,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: my first job was 14. Now I'm the division president
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: of so-and-so McDonald's.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: They'd send him to Hamburger University. Remember? Yeah, down in Illinois. Yeah,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: management program.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I'm sure once upon a time, that was cool. I'm like,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: once upon a time, that probably felt cool to try
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: and do, like to work at your local. I just
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: don't think kids want to. People are doing that anymore.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Which is sad. I would love to go to Hamburger University.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I know, yeah. In Chicago, Illinois.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if you could own one of those franchises, I
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: can't imagine what it would cost to own a McDonald's
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: or something like a Culver's nowadays.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: How many kids are actually working there? You go to
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: most of those places, it's like two or three people. Well,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Kiosk to order, drive through. No
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: one eats in the dining room, so no one has
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to clean up and put the trays away. It looks
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: like every place now looks like a 3.30 a.m. stop
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: where there are two people in there.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: The first time I went into a McDonald's and it
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: was faced with that touchscreen, I'm like, oh, it was.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: The one on Blue Mound and Moreland and Brookfield. And
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, you can do this, Scott. Come on.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Come on, Boomer. Not punching those numbers.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: It is sad, though, a little bit, because it's basically
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: a takeout place now where.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Some people sit. The only time... The only time I
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: would do that and go in and order in the
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: kiosk is if the drive-thru line's too long. Too long, yeah.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I'm hacking the system here. I'm sticking it to the man.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I'm saving myself by five minutes.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: And if you were from here and went to Solid Gold,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: that was a whole experience. Solid Gold McDonald's on 76. Billy,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: you know how I feel about that place. And that
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: was our hangout for Greenfield High at their games. And
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: half of your friends were working at the place and
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: managing it, like running that kitchen. And the other half
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: were in the place hanging out, eating.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Or, you know, whatever. It's Arnold's American Graffiti. That was it.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: That was Arnold's, man. Watch out for the nostalgia. And
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: we didn't know how good we had it at the time.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: He was field. I'm like, you guys, this is our Arnold's.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Nobody gets that, but I was getting that at the time.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Shocked that nobody got that reference. I was understanding it
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: at the time.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: Didn't they have a Mac Tonight, the legendary piano player
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: sitting in there?
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, that was my spot, man. Mac Tonight at the piano.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: That was my spot. I would get my McChicken and
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: my McDouble.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I sure hope that McDonald's is still the hangout for people.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: kids after a high school football game.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: They don't have hangouts.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Friday night, you gotta have somewhere that you're post-game. That's
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: where the Falls.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Kids used to fight the Hamilton kids.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: That's where the squad up was?
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: That was the spot on Appleton Avenue. Sharks and Jets.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: That's right. You need a third space. We don't have
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: third spaces in society anymore. And you know what, Billy?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I hope it is, but I don't think there are
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: any hangouts. Where are the hangouts now? The internet. Are
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: there still hangouts for the kids? You almost drifted into
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: a little Rob Parker there. Where are the hangouts? There's
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: no one to go to. Rob Parker. But I do think,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know exactly if there was a spot because
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: there would be the one on the Highway 100 in
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Forest Home McDonald's.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: They renovated it, turned that son of a gun into
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: a 24-7.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. They had to beg us to leave that place
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: at 1 a.m. I don't know if a lot of
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: places are doing that anymore. Growing up in a small town,
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: we didn't have a McDonald's, so we went to... you know,
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: a little local family restaurant slash bars.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: You know, arcade game where the kids could hang out.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: That's what we did. You went to the gas and sip?
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Right. 7-Eleven. They used to hang out at the stoplight, Drew. Yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: that was it.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: By the big silo in Iowa, right? That's right.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Or the world's largest truck stop out there on Interstate 80.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Hey, man, fun was fun. It didn't matter. Dolph is
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: making the pilgrimage to Iowa where it's, what, Quick Star
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: instead of Quick Trip, right? Yeah, same place, basically. I
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Maybe they're owned by the Quick Trip people, but for
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: some reason they call it a Quick Star. They were
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: something to do with some sort of Well, when I
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: was in California, they had quick trips with a queue.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Maybe there's some of those in Iowa and maybe that's
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: why they call them quick star.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I think that might be right. Yeah. But you'll be
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: stopping at a quick trip as we do. And we're
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: eating the dunkers this morning. And did you see the
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: major news? They're getting rid of the rollers. Oh no.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Some brats and tornadoes. They're going to be individually wrapped
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: and put in the hot bar. Cause people just aren't,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: they don't like to do their own, you know, poking around,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: poking around. For years, Dolph, it's been a dream of
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: mine when we have the locker room back there is
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: to get a hot dog roller and always have hot dogs,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: especially for Packer games when we're sitting here, road games.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: It would be phenomenal. You guys had that popcorn machine
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: back there. We had a popcorn machine back there, and
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Doug Russell's the only guy who knows how to work
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: at a popcorn machine. I was going to say, Dougie
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: makes some absolute smacking corn. He does.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: He definitely will during the season. One of my wife's
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: cousins or uncles has one of the rollers.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: We might have to bring that son of a gun.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: You can get them. They're like 75 bucks on there.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Really not bad. That would be electric to get that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: Thing in here.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: And a bun steamer. Throw some dogs on there. Come on.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Butter that thing up. Steam that bun up.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: My little guy had one of them, and he just
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: looked over and goes, Daddy, this is the best hot dog. Oh, nice. Well,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: that's a good feeling.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Shoot, this is going to cost me a lot. Give
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: me an expensive hot dog. When he says that, that's
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: a good feeling. And not only that, you can put
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: other things. You could heat up little enchiladas.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Put other sausages on there? I don't know. I'm putting
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: that one. Well, you could put sausages, pause, but you
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: could put enchiladas and the torpedo. What do they call it? Torpedoes? Tornadoes. Tornadoes. Yeah.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I bet you could put a hot pocket on there
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: if you manage it right.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Egg rolls.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: It won't roll correctly, but you could find a way.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Egg rolls, obviously. Mozzarella sticks. Mozzarella sticks. Let's see what
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: we can cook on that thing. Bring it in. Let's
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: do it. Let's see what we can cook. I think
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: we should just buy one. I was going to say,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I think I got to buy one. Bring that locker
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: room back to life.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's pretty dead right now. We can't be humans,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: but we got hot dogs. It's pretty dead right now.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I got to say. I'm still back there with Hunter.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: We're back there. Billy's back there sometimes. We hang out.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Well, I can't really go back there because my computer's broken.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Did I show you that?
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: No, you didn't.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I got the big error message on my computer, the
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: desktop back here.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: The two screens. The blue screen of death? Oh, no. Oh,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: it's straight black. They said with a big error message,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I don't want it. Everyone's busy, you know, signals and
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: things like that.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: This place is a museum for desktop computers. I had
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: one at my desk until last year. And the dude
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: from My Heart got on the phone and said, you
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: got to give it up.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: That thing's a 2007.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: They're going to tell me that, so I don't want
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: to get one up. What's older, the computers or the
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: cars in the fleet outside? It might be both. Yeah,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's a neck and neck race. And a
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: couple 2008s out there. MySpace was open today, though. From
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: companies that no longer exist, automakers that no longer exist.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: That's right. I was going to say two out of
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: the five. You drive until they go.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: That one runs better than most out there, the one
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: from Saturn.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: No payments. Saturn Outlook.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you, that dually, though, that I got to
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: ride with, Scott Dolphin's name right there on the side.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Not only because I know that I'm driving a Scott
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Dolphin truck.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: That makes you feel good in and of itself.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: We're getting that re-wrapped. So you won't hear the flutter
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: of the FM 106 falling off. I still feel.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: That supercharge of the six wheels right in my gut
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: when I'm driving down the freeway.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's powerful.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I like driving your station vehicle because then people think
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: you're somebody when they roll by.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: That's true. People get excited when they see you. You
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: know what? Is that Dolph in there? Is that Dolph?
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I love the fact you guys drive those to Lambeau Field.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: People are constantly sending us photos through social media.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Hey, good to see you're at the ball game today.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Vehicle parked up there in the lot as they walk
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: into the game. Some guy jumped us. We were. We
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: were at one of our quick trip stops, and a
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: guy jumped us, and he was pitching about the signal
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: on FM1. It was because he lived up in Sheboygan
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: or something. I used to be able to get it.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Now I can't get it. I'm like, well, thanks for asking.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: We're going to work out for it. I actually control
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: it right here in the cab. We don't even work there.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: So let me fix it for you. Sorry. I think
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: we still get to Sheboygan. Yeah, well, not as good
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: as this guy's car. Not to that individual at 1 a.m.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Not this guy's car. He was mad.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: I just love that he thinks you can fix it
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: right there in the cab or truck, you know?
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'll take your complete right to management, sir. Let
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: me do this. You know what? Now that you said that,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: let me flip this switch. And therefore, it's probably. Hey,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Dilly Dan says Culver Slug's the ownership program. How about that? 601.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: That's Mississippi area code says I'm a certified barbecue judge.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, Mike and Racine. Okay. To become one of the best.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Spend a Saturday learning about and eating barbecue better than
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: hamburger you.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Listen, I'm down for that, Mike. You let me know
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: how to sign up for that course. And I am
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: in because I am trying to take that barbecue game
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: to the next level.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I don't need a course to look for the smoke
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: ring and to taste what I like. But more than anything,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: it's the excuse to do it.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: The tough thing about barbecue is you're making a large portion.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: I better start early, honey. I got to get out
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: of here. I got to get out of here. Sorry.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: And the only way that I can have it is
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: if I crack a couple of beers. I really appreciate
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: people that take it to the next level. Like they
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: spend all day smoking brisket or whatever they're doing.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I don't do that. I don't have the patience for that.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: They don't talk about the missus. Like, oh, I made
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: this brisket, and it dried it out, and it sucked.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: That's why the brisket is still scary to me.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: It's an expensive piece to potentially really mess up.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: So I've been going on the poor man's brisket of
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the chuck roast. Okay, solid.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: And then smoke it like the brisket. Tell yourself it's
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: a brisket. It's almost the same thing.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: And how do you find time with your busy schedule?
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Just pretty easy. Just neglect your family. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Don't let anybody know.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: It's not true. Hey, buddy, hold on.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Watching one more episode of Bluey. Daddy's got to wrap
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: these ribs up quick. Daddy's got to make sure that
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: we pull off the membrane on the back.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I hate to.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: I want to watch you grow up, son, but I
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: have to get out back and smoke this meat for you.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: It's like.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: It's basically like the modern day version of I'm going
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: out and hunt for our food, like hunter gatherers.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Go pull this out here for us. Don't worry about it.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Let me know, guys. It is a labor of love.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: I'm here to feed my family. Hey, so Iowa this weekend,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of people. are getting on Drew and the
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: text line for his Chicago tourism ad last segment.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm just saying, I mean, Billy has
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: to take his sons to Wrigley at some point. It's
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: so close. Why would you not? This was a contention.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: And I thought it was funny. And you guys are like, oh,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: the traffic. And I was like, come on.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: I spent more time there than Billy because I have
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of family there. But I do understand the challenges.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: But I thought it was interesting that Dolph's.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Going to Iowa. Because we heard from Drew that Chicago
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: is the place to visit.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Hey, I'm still trying to talk Billy into going to
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: Kinnick on Saturday. on Halloween for Wisconsin and Iowa.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: The only problem is that's Game 7 of the World Series. Oh,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: it is? Don't the Packers play the next day, probably?
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: The Packers play the next day, so it's Game 7
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: of the World Series. You have to do the Tom
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Oates doubleheader. That would be the move. That's a night game,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: isn't it? No, it's a 4 o'clock?
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: It's anything before a 4 o'clock. So I think it'll
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: be an 11 a.m. or a 2.30. The tough thing is,
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: I want to go to Kinnick Stadium and enjoy it
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: with Scott Dolphin. I don't want to be sitting there.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: If I'm going to get the full Iowa experience... And
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: it be better than the last time I went to Iowa,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: which made it potentially the longest night of my entire
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: life going to Iowa and driving through that, that state.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure that I'm living it up.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: We got to do it the right way. You went
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: to central Iowa, too, didn't you? You went way past
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Iowa City. Brunel, Iowa? Yeah. It's so good to be
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: back in the great state of Iowa. Like, this place sucks.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Iowa City's only like 50 minutes past the Mississippi River
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: from Illinois.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: So it's a lot easier. It's on this side of Iowa.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Because that was, I mean, people, Illinois, the back end
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: of Illinois, the actual girthy part of Illinois is a
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: tough drive.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: It is tough.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: At least there were a couple of hills that I
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: went over there in Iowa. It wasn't as flat. It
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: wasn't as flat as that spot was.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: You want hills in Illinois. Southern Illinois has some good hills.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: And then northwestern Illinois, out near Galena, that area.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big tourist area.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Everyone goes to tourism at Galena. I'm telling you, I
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: could look there and see for about 100 miles. This
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: is exhilarating time. Exhilarating time. Dolph, what does Labor Day
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: mean to you? For your wife and daughter, it's back
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: to school, back to work. Summer vacation's over because we're
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: talking about it. It's a melancholy holiday.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: For me, it means fantasy football draft. We always hold
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: our draft fantasy or Labor Day weekend. Actually, we're pushing
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: ours to Tuesday this week because all the boys are
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: heading up to the Badger game on Sunday night and
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: probably Monday. And we're going to play a little golf
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: on Monday, too. But yeah, so it means my fantasy
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: football draft and a nice day off.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: That's basically what it means. But yeah, in terms of like,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: is it the last round for brats? Is it the
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: last hurrah? I think a lot of people.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's the last hurrah, but people
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: are heading up north. I saw 750,000 people are going
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: to be on Wisconsin roads this weekend. So a lot
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: of people are heading up north. That's what you do, right?
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: For the most part, you go to your cabin or
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: your lake house.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: But it is weird because some schools have been in
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: school for two weeks. I know. That's different. Yeah, I know.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Even Milwaukee has been in school for most of this week. Well,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: when it wasn't too hot. When it wasn't too hot.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: They did take a day off. Right. They had to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: take one bed. But yeah.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: And, and football, I get excited because the fall is
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: here and, you know, hope springs eternal.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: But that's the, that's the, it's the gray area though.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Cause you get in, you're saying goodbye to summer. It
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: gets dark earlier. You know, what's coming. You dread the winter. Yeah.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I see. We're rolling. What'd I see the other night?
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Our last seven o'clock sunsets coming up fast until April.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: But I just love the fact that you're excited about
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: your team. Although, remember the day when the NFL would
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: always start on Labor Day weekend. That's long gone.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Talking about how great it would be to have the
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: slate of Sunday games and then have Monday off and
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: watch Monday Night Football and then go to work Tuesday. Yeah.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's long gone. God, the Packers don't open until
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: September 24th at home. That's the last week of September
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: until their home opener now.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: A week three Thursday night home opener. Hell of a schedule.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: And they only have, what, two home noon kicks.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: The first one is all the way into November when
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: they kick one off at home in June.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Did you see the 1923 throwbacks they're going to wear
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: against the Bills? I saw that announcement.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Those things are sweet. Those helmets are awesome. And they
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: look really, really good.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: But the Packers don't play the Bills all the time,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: and the Bills Packers have sweet unis. Sweet unis.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: It would have been a sweet look, but oh well.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: That would have been a good one for the Falcons game. Yes.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: And the Panthers game would have been a good one
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: for these fake rivalry uniforms.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: You know what game probably doesn't need new uniforms? Packers Bears.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Packers Bears. Thank you.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: I like new uniforms. I'm a uniform guy, but that
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: game probably doesn't need it.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Doesn't scream for it. Doesn't really need it. I like
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: the 23 uniforms better than the rivalry uniforms. I do too.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: And those helmets, Dolph, I got a picture. The painting
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: of it is unbelievable. The craftsmanship I get on those
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: leather-like helmets. I like those a lot. The Buffalo won't
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: wear a throwback, though.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know. They might wear those weird gray ones
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: they got. Yeah, they might have an excuse.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: They also, correct me if I'm wrong, I think this
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: is the first year that they, or maybe last year was,
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: where they fired up the retro red helmet.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: So they got a couple of old throwbacks. That might
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: be a part of it.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: From the four straight Super Bowls. I wonder if they
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: ever bring back the old, like when OJ was there,
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: where they just had a Buffalo. There wasn't a bolt
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: going through it. It was just a Buffalo on the side.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: It's a weak logo, honestly. Those are pretty cool. You
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: like them?
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I thought that was classic. I like their 90s versions.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I think Shanna's got some of that gear. I bet
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: she does.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: They rolled some of it out when they celebrated the AFL.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: That was the logo that they threw back out. They
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: kind of redesigned it a tick, but that's a standard one.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: It is. Anytime that you can also, I mean, I'm
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: just glad that Dolph said the name. So we didn't
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: have to.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: That era of Bills football needs to get discussed a
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: little bit more because that man was running loose all
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: over the place.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: He was running loose, dude. You see those– Well, I'm
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: just saying. That's true.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know how many other players I could name.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Joe Ferguson, I think, was the quarterback in those teams back.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: In those days. Back in the day, yeah. I don't know,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: but when O.J. was just running wild, you see the... Yeah,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: he was running wild all right. He was running wild
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: all right in Brentwood. 2,000 yards in a season. Dolph,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: safe travels to Iowa. Thank you, fellas. Thank you for
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: hanging out with us. We'll see you in the middle
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: of next week. Enjoy your Labor Day, and we'll see
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: you Wednesday, Thursday? Thursday, I think. Thursday, we'll see you
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: on Thursday. Come on now. Absolutely. Enjoy, enjoy. All right,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break. When we come back,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: a little Who's Out, Who's Not for you. You're in
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew Billion-Armond bringing it
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: to you from headquarters here on this Friday heading into
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend. Happy that you're along with us. About
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: to welcome the 7 o'clock clubbers. And they're ready to party.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: They've been waiting outside, Drew, in that line. They have been.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: The velvet rope is just chomping at it. And these
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: are the guys that have money. They can get into
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: the club late. Time for a little Who's Hot, Who's
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Not brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen, our friends, the
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: best HVAC care around. DonovanJorgensen.com. Who's hot? We've got to
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: say it once again. It's been for much of the summer.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Andrew Fisher. Oh, my goodness. Where's minor league prospect? 44
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: homers in the minor leagues. He's the Sadaharu O of
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: minor league baseball.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: And I saw the nickname come across for, I think
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Biloxi put it out, of the fish tank. How did
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: it take us that long? How did it take us
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: that long to call him a fish tank? When he's
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: hitting bombs like that, the nickname is going to have
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: to come, and that will be the right field bleachers
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: potentially when he rolls up here.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: That's ridiculous, ridiculous production. Second most homers in a minor
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: league season this century. He's the number five prospect. And
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I don't care at all about the strikeouts. We'll figure
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: that out. 24 homers since being promoted to Biloxi.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: And now what's that jump like drew. It's definitely not
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: as much the two to three, right? Yeah.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Not as pronounced, but the home run leaders since, uh, The,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: let's see, 1983 reorganization. Bill McNulty hit 55. Gorman Thomas
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: hitting 51. Come on, Gorman. In the 70s. Wow. Put
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: some barbecue sauce on that. He really hit a lot.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Ryan Howard. Ken Phelps, my baseball people told me. Ken Phelps.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Ken Phelps. Dave Duncan, who was famous for being a coach.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Great pitching coach.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Phil High, Greg Brock, Chris Bryant is on the list.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Brandon Wood, Danny Tartable. So there's some names of guys
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: that you've heard of. Never heard of like Adrian Garrett
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: from 1971, but some names you've heard of on this
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: list of home run leaders in the minor leagues.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Greg Brock, the brewer, right? He was a brewer in
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: the late 80s, 87 team was on that team. Known
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: more for being like an average hitter though.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like. Joey Meyer was a guy that hit
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of homers and brewers minor leagues, but this is,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: it's insane what he's doing. Who do you got for
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: who's not hot, Billy? Who's not hot?
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a couple of different examples that you could
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: list off here, and the Cubs bullpen has seemingly been
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: right there at the top of it. But the Chicago
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: White Sox find themselves very much not hot in the
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: chase to win their division. It felt like they were
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: running away with it. Now they've lost four or five.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: They lost three of four to the Astros, including a
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: 6-2 game yesterday in which Wisconsin's own Marshfield's own Darlton
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Varshow continued to stay really hot with the Houston Astros
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: since coming over in the trade season. as he was
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: one for two with a RBI triple. He's been really
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: good for the Astros since they brought him in over
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: from the Blue Jays, and they're trying to chase themselves
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: down into a playoff spot.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Luckily, they're still in the AL Central, so I think
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: they have a few games. You know who else is not?
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Both of those divisions are absolute cheats. Michael Lombardi, I
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: was going to say. Another guy, Michael Lombardi's not hot.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Steve Belichick. He's out in the UNC. He's out amid
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: HR complaints.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened there. Pablo Tari was on
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: that one early, and Pablo Tari's apparently going to drop
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: another story today.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: I was just going to say, that's going to be
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: a very much not hot situation for a baseball team
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: in Los Angeles.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Who's not hot? Steve Ballmer, I would say. Lawrence Frank. Well,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Lawrence Frank.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Whoever that business operations guy is that's also suspended for
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: the year.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Who's hot? Pablo, for sure. Oh, big time. He's big
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: time out right now. But he did put it out
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: there yesterday, Pablo did, that he's already got the drop
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: and it's, it involves the Dodgers and what the bag,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: the big trophies.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Dude, that picture of Mark Walter and president Trump and
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: the whole team sitting there as they're all sitting back.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Hattori already is lining it up that there's a lot
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: of money.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: There's a magic Johnson sighting potentially into this, into this
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: intertangled web. There's some money coming from some certain place
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: coming in this one.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: It's going to be crazy. Very fascinating to watch. And
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I'm just grabbing my popcorn. I was going to say,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I'm grabbing some popcorn. Let Pablo cook. Start cooking them up, Doug.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: We need some popcorn. Yeah, Dougie, let's get in there.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Let's roll this thing up. Let's go. All right.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: We're going to break the tape strong. It's our mission.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: It's our solemn duty on a Friday to break the
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: tape strong. And we plan to, even though we're off
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Monday and we're going to be chilling. We're totally not
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: eyeing up a three-day weekend. Totally not. Can't wait for it.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: No.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Definitely not. Totally not doing that. Well, Billy, you'll be
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: working on Sunday. We will have Wayne, by the way,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: at 725. Wayne's going to join us at 725. That's
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: the way to finish the week strong, is to talk
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: to the legend, the voice of the Packers, Wayne Larrabee.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: All right. We shall be right back. Wayne's coming up
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: at 725. You're in the huddle of Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
