- 0:00Speaker 1: Locked and loaded, enjoying one of those 10% days in
- 0:03Speaker 1: the good land. Drew Billy and Armand, The Huddle, Fox
- 0:05Speaker 1: Sports Radio, Wisconsin, 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison, everywhere in the
- 0:08Speaker 1: IRD app. Streaming live, Facebook, X and YouTube for the insomniacs,
- 0:11Speaker 1: the early risers, sociopaths who are waiting for the health
- 0:15Speaker 1: club to open or just getting in there, getting after it.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Welcome in six o'clock clubbers and welcome to one of
- 0:23Speaker 1: the glorious Mondays in Wisconsin sports history.
- 0:25Speaker 2: I think it was Maddie Vee.
- 0:27Speaker 1: On the MLB set, or actually the Fox set, who
- 0:30Speaker 1: said that one of the fourth time in history that
- 0:36Speaker 1: the Brewers won a playoff game on the same day
- 0:37Speaker 1: that the Packers won a game.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Oh, I love that. I love that stat. I love
- 0:42Speaker 2: that crack research.
- 0:43Speaker 1: And when's the last time, it can happen in September,
- 0:47Speaker 1: but when's the last time that we had Badgers, Packers,
- 0:50Speaker 1: and Brewers all prevail during a weekend.
- 0:53Speaker 2: It's been a while. It's been a while.
- 0:55Speaker 3: One of the only ones I can think of is
- 0:57Speaker 3: Packers are playing. Now, maybe it was the end of
- 0:59Speaker 3: the regular season. But when they're coming off of the
- 1:04Speaker 3: Super Bowl, again, I mean, that 2010-2011 time frame as
- 1:09Speaker 3: a Wisconsin sports fan, kind of hard to beat. Now, granted,
- 1:12Speaker 3: we also had Monte Ellis. Monte can do it all.
- 1:15Speaker 4: You take out the championships, he's basically Dwayne Wade. We
- 1:18Speaker 4: saw the Monte Brandon Jennings thing was going to come together.
- 1:21Speaker 3: You were right there on the cusp there, but you
- 1:22Speaker 3: had the Brewers battling for the title, Packers coming off one,
- 1:26Speaker 3: and they just beat the absolute breaks off the Broncos
- 1:29Speaker 3: on one Sunday game. That was the one where I
- 1:32Speaker 3: believe McCarthy ripped into them at halftime because they weren't
- 1:34Speaker 3: winning by enough.
- 1:35Speaker 4: That was the one that has the really famously YouTube
- 1:39Speaker 4: famous Aaron Rodgers super long call where they hit Jordy
- 1:43Speaker 4: Nelson on that deep, you know, kind of post thing.
- 1:46Speaker 3: And so this would be, it might've been end of
- 1:49Speaker 3: September into October, but that was the most vivid time.
- 1:53Speaker 3: I remember drew of them actually doing brewers updates of
- 1:57Speaker 3: the score inside of Lambeau field.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Badgers are pretty good at that time. So that might've happened.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Maybe that could be.
- 2:04Speaker 3: But it is hard to think of the amount of
- 2:06Speaker 3: times they've been this good at the exact same time
- 2:08Speaker 3: the same way.
- 2:09Speaker 4: It's easy to forget. We get arrested by the moment. So, yeah,
- 2:12Speaker 4: it might have happened at some point, but this is
- 2:13Speaker 4: the one we're going to remember because of how exciting
- 2:17Speaker 4: it was. Now, the thing is, and you talk about
- 2:19Speaker 4: the Packers, it wasn't necessarily the most– a whelming victory.
- 2:23Speaker 4: It was an underwhelming victory, but it was a victory.
- 2:25Speaker 4: And the Packers are in dire need of anything positive
- 2:28Speaker 4: right now. And, hey, look, they're 2-2. So for most
- 2:32Speaker 4: of us, I know it was the Brewers, but it
- 2:34Speaker 4: was good to see everyone get a win over the weekend.
- 2:36Speaker 4: That was a fantastic thing. Mike Witt asked on YouTube,
- 2:39Speaker 4: where were you guys watching when Churrio did what he
- 2:41Speaker 4: did yesterday? Well, we were all probably home because we'd
- 2:43Speaker 4: just gotten off the air on Packers OT.
- 2:45Speaker 2: That's right.
- 2:45Speaker 4: You guys were on, doing a great job. talking about
- 2:47Speaker 4: a packers win during that so i think we were
- 2:50Speaker 4: all home in time to watch.
- 2:51Speaker 1: I was home yeah i was tempted to stop at
- 2:53Speaker 1: the ballpark i think doug russell went to.
- 2:54Speaker 4: The ballpark he did he told me he's like i'm
- 2:56Speaker 4: going right to the park armin i'll get you some
- 2:58Speaker 4: audio so that.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Was the whole thing i didn't go because like i
- 3:01Speaker 1: uh you know parking and all that stuff like i
- 3:03Speaker 1: just figured ah well it would have been a hassle
- 3:06Speaker 1: to get in because we by the time we got
- 3:08Speaker 1: off the air i did get home for the last
- 3:10Speaker 1: two innings though so i.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Was in the i was in the car when uh
- 3:13Speaker 4: When Yelich almost went yard and hit it to the track.
- 3:18Speaker 4: Then I got in just in time for the error
- 3:20Speaker 4: to give the Brewers a 3-2, cut the deficit to one.
- 3:23Speaker 4: Then watched it from the rest of the way there.
- 3:25Speaker 4: Very exciting moment.
- 3:27Speaker 3: We had gone over to the in-laws, and right as
- 3:32Speaker 3: my wife and I watched the Yelich one, we both
- 3:34Speaker 3: lost our minds, thought it was gone, got yelled at
- 3:36Speaker 3: by the three-year-old to quiet down.
- 3:39Speaker 4: Oh, really?
- 3:39Speaker 2: He told you to quiet down? He said, Daddy, quiet down.
- 3:42Speaker 2: I'm making pizza. Okay. Sorry, bud. All right. Sorry. I apologize.
- 3:45Speaker 4: You've got to understand the moment.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Well, he said it was warning track power. Well, I know.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Quiet down. It wasn't a bomb. How did Carson react
- 3:52Speaker 2: to the Churrio hit?
- 3:54Speaker 3: He was quite fired up because he kind of shut
- 3:57Speaker 3: the box, not going to lie. He had his Jackson
- 3:59Speaker 3: Churrio t-shirt on, but was switching in between yesterday, the
- 4:04Speaker 3: Yelich jersey and the Freelick jersey.
- 4:06Speaker 4: Ah.
- 4:06Speaker 3: So, I mean, all three aspects of the final play
- 4:09Speaker 3: he kind of had in there in the midst.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Wait a minute, he's the reason.
- 4:12Speaker 4: He was the good mojo.
- 4:14Speaker 2: He was quite fired up. He was quite fired up.
- 4:16Speaker 3: But all he kept doing was just hitting the C
- 4:19Speaker 3: that he had put little tape on the Yelich jersey
- 4:22Speaker 3: for as he was celebrating the slide.
- 4:25Speaker 4: I love that.
- 4:27Speaker 2: That's amazing.
- 4:27Speaker 4: So he's embraced the captain. You know, I always said...
- 4:30Speaker 4: He's already the captain now. Laura asked me why they
- 4:32Speaker 4: put the C there because I told her how they
- 4:34Speaker 4: didn't have a captain before and this is the first
- 4:35Speaker 4: time and She's like, well, sometimes where could they put
- 4:38Speaker 4: it on the shoulder, on the sleeve? I'm like, yeah,
- 4:40Speaker 4: they put it right above his heart because that's what's
- 4:42Speaker 4: beating for this team. Of course, I think that's the
- 4:44Speaker 4: hearts on the other side. She told me close.
- 4:45Speaker 2: It's on the left.
- 4:47Speaker 4: She informed me of that. I always wonder, like, what's
- 4:49Speaker 4: the C they're using? Are they using like the little
- 4:51Speaker 4: C when you do like a Mick, whatever? Like for
- 4:54Speaker 4: one of those names, what were they found a little C.
- 4:56Speaker 2: In like the, I mean, it doesn't matter. Yeah, I know.
- 4:59Speaker 4: I'm just thinking like, where'd they find the little C
- 5:01Speaker 4: probably when they have like, you know, the Mick, whatever.
- 5:03Speaker 4: Also you're saying, what do they do in the team
- 5:05Speaker 4: store when they get one? Yeah. So I can get
- 5:07Speaker 4: my own. Also. I love that Daniel de Montessori has
- 5:10Speaker 4: his own number. I think he's like number 95.
- 5:12Speaker 2: You should get one. Yeah.
- 5:13Speaker 4: I got to get that game.
- 5:15Speaker 2: There's one for you. Cause he's having a moment. He is.
- 5:18Speaker 4: Everyone likes, you know, loving, loving.
- 5:19Speaker 1: He's beloved in the clubhouse and with the media. But
- 5:22Speaker 1: I was like, I was going into the interview room.
- 5:25Speaker 1: I had been in the clubhouse on Saturday, and I
- 5:27Speaker 1: walked over to the interview room, and Daniel's parents were
- 5:32Speaker 1: with me because they wanted to watch him at the
- 5:34Speaker 1: podium in Turbo. It was very cool that they walked in,
- 5:37Speaker 1: and his parents got to see him, and they were
- 5:38Speaker 1: so stoked.
- 5:39Speaker 4: That is so cool.
- 5:40Speaker 2: It was like being behind a player's parents.
- 5:43Speaker 4: It's pretty interesting.
- 5:44Speaker 2: It was pretty cool that his parents were walking in
- 5:45Speaker 2: to see it.
- 5:46Speaker 4: You notice with the interview and everything like that and post-game,
- 5:49Speaker 4: He understands the question, Jack Centurio.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Yeah, he and Contreras both do.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty awesome. I'll say, that is one of
- 5:56Speaker 3: the most impressive things. That is a man in the
- 5:58Speaker 3: arena when he starts answering those questions.
- 6:00Speaker 4: So great, so great.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Their English is like, they can understand the questions. They
- 6:05Speaker 1: get the gist. They speak. They can get by, but
- 6:08Speaker 1: I don't begrudge them wanting to answer questions in there.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Not at all.
- 6:13Speaker 4: They want to make sure they say it the way
- 6:15Speaker 4: they want to say it. Exactly. And that's what's awesome
- 6:17Speaker 4: about it because you can really feel that.
- 6:18Speaker 1: And they trust Daniel and it's amazing. But then, yeah,
- 6:23Speaker 1: those guys do that. And I go back, I remember
- 6:25Speaker 1: when Hideo Nomo would do, he had his interpreter and
- 6:28Speaker 1: he would do the interview with us. And then the
- 6:30Speaker 1: Japanese writers would get at him. And that's kind of
- 6:33Speaker 1: the way it goes a lot with the big guys
- 6:35Speaker 1: like Ichiro and stuff.
- 6:36Speaker 2: And probably Shohei and stuff like that. Yeah, Shohei, they'll
- 6:39Speaker 2: do that. And Shohei speaks fine English. I was going
- 6:42Speaker 2: to say, he can speak very well now at this point.
- 6:44Speaker 2: I'll never forget.
- 6:45Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite memories back when Hideo Nomo
- 6:48Speaker 1: pitched for the Brewers. Tail end of his career. He
- 6:49Speaker 1: ran in the sausage race, by the way. That's not
- 6:52Speaker 1: as good a process. My three favorite Hideo Nomo stories.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Here's one for you. When he came over, one of
- 6:58Speaker 1: the first American phrases he learned, he liked wine, and
- 7:01Speaker 1: he learned how to order house red wine. Three of
- 7:04Speaker 1: the first English words he learned were house red wine.
- 7:07Speaker 2: He'd order house red wine. Well done.
- 7:08Speaker 1: So he won a game, and he hit some milestone
- 7:10Speaker 1: for the Brewers, and they got him an expensive bottle
- 7:12Speaker 1: of wine, and then they taped over it, house red wine.
- 7:14Speaker 2: House red wine. That was funny. It's up your alley.
- 7:18Speaker 2: It's the good stuff.
- 7:18Speaker 1: And he ran in the sausage race because he loved
- 7:20Speaker 1: the sausage race. He would get so excited when the
- 7:22Speaker 1: sausages would run by it. And this was County Stadium.
- 7:25Speaker 4: Right.
- 7:25Speaker 1: And then he ran in the sausage race and he had,
- 7:27Speaker 1: you could tell like his legs and he had the
- 7:29Speaker 1: Brewers shorts on, like the workout shorts.
- 7:31Speaker 2: And he was like. Wasn't hiding it very well.
- 7:33Speaker 1: I don't think anybody knew in the stance, but we
- 7:35Speaker 1: knew he was running the race that they were like,
- 7:36Speaker 1: you could just.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Say there's a day. Did he win? So that was
- 7:39Speaker 2: a highlight. I think he did. Good. He had to
- 7:42Speaker 2: have won. He might've.
- 7:43Speaker 1: And then the other one was, I walked in one
- 7:44Speaker 1: morning and I went to interview Phil Garner in his
- 7:46Speaker 1: office and he's sitting there and Hideo's there and they're talking.
- 7:48Speaker 2: I'm like, Oh, I'm sorry. You guys talking? I'll, I'll leave.
- 7:50Speaker 1: He goes, Oh, and Gar's like, come on in. Hideo's
- 7:52Speaker 1: teaching me Japanese. And it's like, really? He goes, yeah,
- 7:56Speaker 1: we're going to be able to communicate. He's teaching me
- 7:57Speaker 1: some Japanese. And they had like a book out and stuff.
- 8:00Speaker 1: And I'm like, why Hideo speaks perfectly good English. And
- 8:03Speaker 1: he looks at me, he goes, no, no. And he
- 8:05Speaker 1: shakes his head.
- 8:05Speaker 4: He's like, no, no.
- 8:06Speaker 2: I'm going to say, you just proved my point. I mean,
- 8:09Speaker 2: I know the jig is up. We got you, bud.
- 8:11Speaker 4: The jig is up.
- 8:12Speaker 2: You could be doing interviews with us in English, but
- 8:14Speaker 2: it's okay. It's all right.
- 8:16Speaker 3: One of my, well, and hilarious, the longer you're here,
- 8:19Speaker 3: it's hard not to, but I think one of my
- 8:20Speaker 3: favorites is a shack in company. I've now talked about
- 8:23Speaker 3: Yao Ming in the same way where there were some
- 8:26Speaker 3: guys in check and said, he's like, I've never talked
- 8:27Speaker 3: smack to Yao one time would never say anything to him.
- 8:30Speaker 3: All of a sudden, we're in the Western Conference Finals.
- 8:33Speaker 3: I got to back down, and I laid it up
- 8:35Speaker 3: to him. He goes, nice move.
- 8:38Speaker 2: You talk English? He goes, of course I talk English, Shaq.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Of course I can talk English.
- 8:43Speaker 4: That was a great one. I've seen that one. All right,
- 8:46Speaker 4: let's get some more. Let's get a couple comments in.
- 8:48Speaker 4: A lot of people chiming in. Everyone's excited. On YouTube,
- 8:51Speaker 4: Troy Castor, what a weekend, boys. Absolutely. October 4th, 2026,
- 8:55Speaker 4: says Mike will always be, well, he said removed, but
- 8:58Speaker 4: he'll always remain Jack Centurio Day in the state of Wisconsin.
- 9:02Speaker 4: I'm cool with that. At CJ6, Mega Victory Chicken Monday.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Heck yeah.
- 9:08Speaker 4: I mean, I think we're ready for that one. Pink Flamingo,
- 9:10Speaker 4: victory is ours.
- 9:12Speaker 2: There you go.
- 9:14Speaker 4: Everyone's really excited, guys. P. Chang, happy Monday, fellas. Wisco
- 9:18Speaker 4: Sports Sweep. I'm still re-watching the Jack-Jack at-bat. Can't get enough,
- 9:22Speaker 4: and I'll wait until Tuesday.
- 9:22Speaker 2: I'll always remember.
- 9:23Speaker 4: That's a good question. How many times have you guys
- 9:25Speaker 4: watched it from all the angles? The Brewer Social Media
- 9:27Speaker 4: Department is doing one heck of a job, giving us
- 9:29Speaker 4: all those cinematic angles, the different angles. I've been, like you, Billy,
- 9:33Speaker 4: trying to watch it a lot of times to see
- 9:35Speaker 4: every guy and what they're doing. I saw the Sal
- 9:37Speaker 4: Freelick-Garrett Mitchell embrace afterwards. I did finally, thanks to you,
- 9:41Speaker 4: see the William Contreras– worm on the ground.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
- 9:46Speaker 4: I didn't see that one.
- 9:47Speaker 2: He was pounding like a toddler. He's pounding his back
- 9:49Speaker 2: in the ground.
- 9:50Speaker 4: That's the greatest thing about these moments. You see grown
- 9:53Speaker 4: men act just like kids in this moment. You can
- 9:55Speaker 4: tell the true feeling, the exuberance, nothing that money and
- 9:59Speaker 4: fame and none of that can touch.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Those moments one of the first guys over the rail
- 10:02Speaker 2: was ms.
- 10:03Speaker 3: So excited instantly over and we gotta watch out but
- 10:07Speaker 3: with the high jump in there for ms though.
- 10:09Speaker 1: There was some talk of that when yannis was traded
- 10:11Speaker 1: it's like okay who's the face of wisconsin sports And
- 10:15Speaker 1: is it Jay Love just because he's QB1 on the Packers?
- 10:17Speaker 1: And people thought, well, it's definitely Miz because of the
- 10:19Speaker 1: electricity he brings. It's like, Curio would like a word.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Yeah, he might be right in that conversation.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I mean, he missed a mug, but he still put
- 10:25Speaker 1: up great numbers, and he's 22 years old. I mean,
- 10:28Speaker 1: come on, he's younger than Braylon Allen, isn't he?
- 10:30Speaker 3: Well, and he already has, he's three years in, and
- 10:33Speaker 3: he's now beaten what we had for five or six
- 10:36Speaker 3: years as the best thing to say in sports radio
- 10:39Speaker 3: about the Brewers. He's now the biggest bargain the Brewers
- 10:42Speaker 3: have ever had. He's now already supplanted Freddy Peralta as
- 10:46Speaker 3: the greatest value in all of sports with the deal
- 10:49Speaker 3: that they now still have sitting there for the next
- 10:51Speaker 3: seven years.
- 10:52Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about him being a flight
- 10:54Speaker 1: risk and free agency. And like they could extend him now.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Build a statue.
- 10:57Speaker 3: All right.
- 10:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I did say that.
- 10:59Speaker 3: That was my reaction that I did laugh at because
- 11:01Speaker 3: I have laughed when people are like, how do you
- 11:04Speaker 3: rip up the contract and give him another one?
- 11:06Speaker 2: I might say, hey, Jackson, let's go.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Let's figure out what we're going to do here in
- 11:10Speaker 3: these 10 years after the 10 years that we have
- 11:12Speaker 3: you for.
- 11:12Speaker 4: And even if he doesn't want to give you that
- 11:15Speaker 4: much a chunk of time, if you can even add
- 11:17Speaker 4: any time to it, any time.
- 11:20Speaker 2: He's terrific, but he's also displaying the Ryan Braun knack
- 11:24Speaker 2: for the moment. That's the thing. That's it, dude.
- 11:26Speaker 4: You just know he believes in that moment.
- 11:28Speaker 2: He can get it done.
- 11:28Speaker 1: And there was a time, like in 18, 19, when
- 11:31Speaker 1: Yelich was at the peak of his powers, it Well,
- 11:33Speaker 1: and I said this about the blue-haired kid from Chicago, too.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Like, you need a triple here? Here's a triple. You
- 11:39Speaker 2: need a homer? Here's a homer. Here it is. Oh,
- 11:41Speaker 2: this guy's the toughest guy we're going to face?
- 11:44Speaker 1: Let me face him. And that's what– Truro, put it
- 11:47Speaker 1: this way. That situation last night against– is there anybody
- 11:51Speaker 1: else on the team you want batting?
- 11:52Speaker 4: No way.
- 11:53Speaker 2: It's not even close. Not even close right now. It's
- 11:55Speaker 2: not even close.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Contreras has somewhat of a knack for it, and he
- 11:59Speaker 1: hit the big bomb in game one. And Contreras is
- 12:03Speaker 1: in the discussion, but he's a runner-up because it's Churrio.
- 12:07Speaker 3: And it's a distant runner-up to me. They flash Jackson's numbers. Now,
- 12:11Speaker 3: I can't remember if it was career or just on
- 12:13Speaker 3: the year. He's 371 with the bases loaded.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Crazy. That's insane production at that moment. The fact that he.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Already owns the franchise record for postseason homers.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Again, another one of the great bar tricks in Brewers
- 12:26Speaker 3: fan history. You're no longer going to be able to say, yeah,
- 12:30Speaker 3: leader in postseason home runs Orlando Arcia you want a
- 12:33Speaker 3: lot of free beers being able to do that no
- 12:35Speaker 3: longer it's gonna be Jackson Churio for forever he's gonna
- 12:38Speaker 3: set that mark too far that anybody's gonna be able to.
- 12:40Speaker 4: Get it absolutely yeah you lost your chance then it's
- 12:43Speaker 4: just the fact that it was Orlando for a while
- 12:45Speaker 4: um it's just you know there have been so many
- 12:48Speaker 4: times in my life like so many years I've gone
- 12:51Speaker 4: through the whole clutch player thing to see, you know,
- 12:53Speaker 4: is it real? Is it not? I've gone back and forth,
- 12:56Speaker 4: try to convince myself, didn't know if I believed that
- 12:58Speaker 4: clutch was a real skill, but then a guy like
- 13:01Speaker 4: Jackson makes you question everything you believed on that. Cause
- 13:04Speaker 4: it just seems so obvious that there are certain people
- 13:06Speaker 4: that have no fear in that arena. And like you were,
- 13:10Speaker 4: he was up there last night. Ready to and expecting
- 13:13Speaker 4: to win a game off the best closer in baseball.
- 13:16Speaker 4: Talk about, you know, the first couple, you know, Mason
- 13:19Speaker 4: blew by those fastballs and he went after each one,
- 13:22Speaker 4: took that big, big pitch in the dirt. That was
- 13:24Speaker 4: a huge one that he spit at and just said,
- 13:26Speaker 4: I'm going to hit this guy's best pitch. I'm going
- 13:28Speaker 4: to do it. And he did it. It was incredible.
- 13:30Speaker 3: The fall off on the 104 fastball drew where he
- 13:34Speaker 3: sniffs the bat and is so mad at himself for
- 13:38Speaker 3: missing it. Pierzynski is like laughing on the broadcast saying
- 13:41Speaker 3: he's trying to fool him. He's trying to fool him
- 13:44Speaker 3: to get him to throw him another slider so he
- 13:47Speaker 3: can catch up to it because he knows he wasn't
- 13:49Speaker 3: on it. I'm like, I don't know what game you're watching, Pierzynski.
- 13:52Speaker 3: I thought he was right on it.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Just missed it.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Agreed.
- 13:54Speaker 4: That was a win.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Just missed it.
- 13:56Speaker 4: And generally, I've been okay with Pierzynski and Wainwright.
- 13:59Speaker 2: I think they're really good.
- 14:00Speaker 4: But they've been good.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Give me them over Smoltz every day and twice on Sunday.
- 14:04Speaker 4: I totally agree. And I don't expect them to be
- 14:06Speaker 4: all brewers all the time like a lot of them.
- 14:07Speaker 4: I know fans are upset because these are neutral observers.
- 14:10Speaker 4: But I thought that was odd, too. At first, I
- 14:12Speaker 4: was like, he was on top of that.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Right on it.
- 14:14Speaker 1: We're not even going to get to game balls and
- 14:15Speaker 1: kicks today, I don't think. Armand, do you have sounders
- 14:17Speaker 1: for him? There's a lot of game balls.
- 14:18Speaker 3: I do.
- 14:19Speaker 2: I do, yeah. Oh, my bad. We could do. All right.
- 14:21Speaker 2: I wondered if you even had that.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Because, all right, let's fire that up.
- 14:25Speaker 2: 877-794-1973. Game balls, kicks to the balls. A Monday tradition
- 14:29Speaker 2: in the huddle. Today, a game ball is.
- 14:31Speaker 4: Johnson Jr. meets the Bulldogs!
- 14:36Speaker 2: I'm sure you're shocked.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Perfect, because my first game ball was going to be
- 14:38Speaker 1: Adam Amin for nailing that call.
- 14:40Speaker 2: Nailing the moment. Very good. He was terrific. Yep. He
- 14:43Speaker 2: was fantastic.
- 14:43Speaker 1: Jackson Trurio meets the moment. Everybody else is like, Jackson
- 14:46Speaker 1: Trurio walks it off, or Jackson Trurio meets the moment again,
- 14:49Speaker 1: which he did. So Adam Amin gets the first game ball,
- 14:51Speaker 1: and then a kick to the balls is what?
- 14:53Speaker 2: Maybe hungover.
- 14:54Speaker 4: I couldn't help myself.
- 14:56Speaker 2: That could be in perpetuity.
- 14:58Speaker 4: I promised myself I was not going to forget to
- 15:00Speaker 4: use that for a kick to the balls. Yes.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Maybe hungover.
- 15:03Speaker 1: You can get us your game balls and kicks, 877-794-1973.
- 15:06Speaker 1: He still might be after that homer that he had
- 15:09Speaker 1: in game one.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Goodness gracious.
- 15:10Speaker 4: They have a great story, huh?
- 15:11Speaker 1: So we'll fire that up, and we'll also, we can
- 15:14Speaker 1: check a box, too. Who's hot, who's not, presented by
- 15:17Speaker 1: Donovan Jorgensen, heating and cooling. The Brewers are hot, and
- 15:21Speaker 1: the Padres are not. And here's one for you. Here's
- 15:23Speaker 1: a number for you, courtesy of Sarah Langs and others.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Teams that win the first two games of a division series...
- 15:31Speaker 1: Go on to win that series, and the Brewers are,
- 15:35Speaker 1: last year, they're part of the stat. They win the
- 15:38Speaker 1: series 83 of 93 times, 89% of the time. If
- 15:43Speaker 1: you have a 2-0 lead, you're winning a five-game series.
- 15:45Speaker 1: Now there's an 11% chance that the Padres can come
- 15:48Speaker 1: back and steal this thing and then Walk and beat
- 15:51Speaker 1: the Brewers in game five Friday in Milwaukee.
- 15:55Speaker 3: That's good news to know as Wisconsin pre-sale tickets for
- 15:58Speaker 3: the NLCS go on sale today at 10 o'clock. It's
- 16:01Speaker 3: also one of those where it's like, man, if you
- 16:04Speaker 3: got flight credit, maybe you go out and enjoy it
- 16:06Speaker 3: in that Hornets desk.
- 16:07Speaker 2: Or maybe you don't.
- 16:08Speaker 3: Maybe you don't want to go and poke the bear
- 16:10Speaker 3: out there in San Diego. Well, there's a couple ways
- 16:12Speaker 3: to look at it. It doesn't seem like a Philly crowd.
- 16:15Speaker 4: No, it seems like a fun crowd.
- 16:16Speaker 3: Seems like a fun crowd. Seems like a nice crowd.
- 16:18Speaker 3: But I don't know if I want to be. I
- 16:19Speaker 3: don't know if I'd want to attempt fate. Although I
- 16:22Speaker 3: got one huckleberry bone to pick. I don't know exactly
- 16:24Speaker 3: what the cat's name is.
- 16:26Speaker 4: It's that clown on that Channel 7 San Diego station
- 16:29Speaker 4: walking the Concord. You guys have seen this by now.
- 16:31Speaker 4: Walking the concourse and saying, this crowd looks like they're depressed.
- 16:35Speaker 4: They're not like the crowd in San Diego. This crowd stinks.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Look at these guys.
- 16:38Speaker 4: No one's excited here. This idiot farming to his audience.
- 16:43Speaker 4: I know what he's doing out there. I know what
- 16:44Speaker 4: you're doing pandering to your local TV.
- 16:46Speaker 2: I got to check this out.
- 16:46Speaker 4: It was basically like you with the Philadelphia reporter at
- 16:50Speaker 4: the Super Bowl, Billy.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Just spit in his face.
- 16:52Speaker 4: It was just kind of annoying. I don't know who
- 16:54Speaker 4: this guy was. I couldn't find the name of the reporter.
- 16:56Speaker 2: Whatever.
- 16:57Speaker 4: It's a local report, but... It's just kind of annoying me. Listen,
- 17:00Speaker 4: there's one way to look at it, though. You could
- 17:02Speaker 4: just say to yourself, well, they might be going to L.A.
- 17:04Speaker 4: So you take that little.
- 17:05Speaker 2: Flag credit there.
- 17:07Speaker 3: I did see a couple of videos of the Dodger
- 17:10Speaker 3: fans hate watching and celebrating the Brewers' victory.
- 17:13Speaker 2: Oh, they hate San Diego.
- 17:14Speaker 4: That's how the Brewers.
- 17:14Speaker 2: Hating San Diego?
- 17:15Speaker 4: That's good.
- 17:15Speaker 3: Well, that was the only thing they got to celebrate
- 17:17Speaker 3: last night because they walked out of there sad as
- 17:19Speaker 3: they're now tied 1-1 with the Braves. I got a
- 17:22Speaker 3: couple on the who's hot, who's not. How about a
- 17:24Speaker 3: hot former Packer, Emmanuel Wilson?
- 17:27Speaker 4: Hmm. Oh, monster, monster.
- 17:29Speaker 3: Would 21 totes for 81 yards and two tugs be.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Nice for the Packers right now?
- 17:34Speaker 4: How many fumbles did he have in the red zone?
- 17:37Speaker 4: That would have been because I don't know. You can
- 17:40Speaker 4: do that, right? You can run the ball about fumbling.
- 17:42Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:43Speaker 4: Yeah. Unbelievable.
- 17:45Speaker 3: I don't know where you'd put Taekwon Thornton in the
- 17:47Speaker 3: hot or not category because he had five catches for
- 17:50Speaker 3: 111 yards and two touchdowns yesterday, but then he dislocated
- 17:54Speaker 3: his ankle on the final one. So I don't know
- 17:56Speaker 3: if that would be hot or not. Like the Adrian
- 17:58Speaker 3: Cooper thing. Kyrie Kill said he is in contact. Ted
- 18:02Speaker 3: McMillan was hot last night. 14 catches, a buck 92
- 18:05Speaker 3: and two touchdowns against the Detroit Lions.
- 18:07Speaker 4: How about that result? Lions losing.
- 18:10Speaker 3: And the worst one was this Kyle Menungai, who's going
- 18:14Speaker 3: to be running for the Bears this weekend. Their two-headed
- 18:16Speaker 3: monster against the Packers. He went for 30 carries for
- 18:19Speaker 3: 146 yards and two touchdowns against the New York Jets
- 18:23Speaker 3: this weekend.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Man.
- 18:25Speaker 4: Yikes.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Yikes. Okay. All right.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Ben Johnson said, you guys know what week it is.
- 18:30Speaker 3: Enough said. How about not category, Drew? Freaking TJ Hawkinson.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings win 1510 over the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins
- 18:42Speaker 3: do not cover their first number in four weeks. And
- 18:45Speaker 3: TJ Hawkinson decides at the one-yard line, after 13 grabs
- 18:50Speaker 3: for 119 yards, to not go for the 120th yard,
- 18:54Speaker 3: a touchdown, and the cover. Oh, brutal.
- 18:58Speaker 2: TJ Hawkinson. TJ Hawkinson.
- 19:01Speaker 3: You are 1,000% dead to me and reminded me one
- 19:03Speaker 3: last time why.
- 19:04Speaker 2: You never, ever, and I mean ever, trust somebody from Minnesota.
- 19:10Speaker 2: There you go. TJ Fleck is on that list, too.
- 19:14Speaker 2: That's right. He might've been in the hot list that
- 19:16Speaker 2: a little brown jug celebration row in the boat. Oh
- 19:18Speaker 2: my God. All right.
- 19:19Speaker 1: So Donovan Jorgensen, the leaders in HVAC, check them out.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Employee owned for 40 years, Donovan Jorgensen.
- 19:26Speaker 2: And they would never leave you at the one yard line. Never.
- 19:29Speaker 2: They would never leave you out in the cold at
- 19:31Speaker 2: the one yard line.
- 19:31Speaker 3: Like TJ Hawkinson did leaving you at the Pottawatomie sports book,
- 19:35Speaker 3: sitting there with a ticket with two thirds of a
- 19:37Speaker 3: touchdown parlay cashed. No, they would never do that to you.
- 19:40Speaker 3: They complete the job on time. And way better than
- 19:44Speaker 3: any standards that anybody else is going to have.
- 19:46Speaker 2: DonovanJorgensen.com. Son of a bitch. I hate that guy right now.
- 19:51Speaker 2: That's brutal.
- 19:52Speaker 4: That's the epitome of brutality.
- 19:53Speaker 2: He is now numero uno on the watch list. Corbin
- 19:57Speaker 2: Burns moved back, Armin.
- 19:59Speaker 1: I got one more for the who's not, and we
- 20:02Speaker 1: can pretty much retire it after this one.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Who's not hot? Lance Barrett. home plate umpire yesterday. Horrible.
- 20:11Speaker 4: I don't like doing this, but this crew is actually,
- 20:14Speaker 4: I do like it. This crew has been terrible. I mean,
- 20:17Speaker 4: the amount of times they've been getting corrected on ABS challenges,
- 20:20Speaker 4: the check swings, the check swings guys. Are you kidding me?
- 20:24Speaker 2: Some of those sheets that said all the way around
- 20:26Speaker 2: the ridiculous.
- 20:28Speaker 4: This is a playoff crew. Get it right guys. Tighten
- 20:31Speaker 4: it up. Tighten it up. Let the catchers call balls
- 20:36Speaker 4: and strikes at this point. They know his own better
- 20:38Speaker 4: than you, Blue.
- 20:39Speaker 3: He'd have a better chance with the coach calling it
- 20:41Speaker 3: from behind the pitcher's mound.
- 20:43Speaker 4: My dad call it.
- 20:44Speaker 2: He knows.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Yeah, he had 10 overturned calls yesterday. He was 89% accurate.
- 20:51Speaker 2: That is embarrassing. It was horrific.
- 20:53Speaker 3: Now, the only bone that I would have to pick
- 20:55Speaker 3: with the challenges, Adam Amin keeps saying they have two
- 20:58Speaker 3: incorrect challenges available.
- 21:01Speaker 4: Right.
- 21:01Speaker 3: No, you only get one incorrect challenge to continue challenging.
- 21:05Speaker 2: I was confused on that, too. I was getting messed
- 21:07Speaker 2: up with that one.
- 21:08Speaker 3: But you could have given him 15 challenges yesterday because
- 21:12Speaker 3: they needed them all because he was so bad behind
- 21:14Speaker 3: the plate.
- 21:14Speaker 4: There was even one he didn't see Contreras tapping his head.
- 21:16Speaker 4: I'm like, he called for the challenge, guy. Figure it out.
- 21:20Speaker 3: But yellow's stolen base. The whole ball is in the zone.
- 21:22Speaker 3: He's out of the zone, and he calls it a strike.
- 21:25Speaker 3: That was brutal.
- 21:26Speaker 2: Okay. Horrific. All right. Dolph is going to be in next.
- 21:30Speaker 2: We've reached halftime. of the program.
- 21:33Speaker 1: It's flying by today because everybody's riding high. I mean,
- 21:37Speaker 1: Hunter probably didn't even need a plane to get to
- 21:38Speaker 1: San Diego.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Oh, my man's going to be in boarding group A
- 21:41Speaker 2: the way he's feeling. He is rolling. He's rolling. We're rolling, too.
- 21:44Speaker 2: We have a major announcement coming up at 7 o'clock.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Stay tuned. You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Back on the huddle. It's halftime.
- 21:52Speaker 1: The Monday edition of the huddle means we visit with
- 21:54Speaker 1: Scott Dolphin from the country station down the hall, FM 1061.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Do you have a voice left after being in the
- 21:58Speaker 1: ballpark for the last two?
- 21:59Speaker 5: I do. I think if this was Yesterday morning, I
- 22:02Speaker 5: probably wouldn't, but yesterday.
- 22:04Speaker 4: I promise that wasn't a joke.
- 22:06Speaker 2: Sorry, your mic's on.
- 22:07Speaker 4: That was not a joke, I promise.
- 22:09Speaker 2: Your mic's on.
- 22:10Speaker 4: Sorry.
- 22:10Speaker 2: Yeah. That's funny.
- 22:12Speaker 5: But yeah, yesterday was kind of rough, but today I
- 22:14Speaker 5: feel okay. I got to bed early last night. Of course,
- 22:16Speaker 5: Saturday night game, I think I got home at 1230
- 22:19Speaker 5: after we got out of the parking lots.
- 22:22Speaker 1: I was at the game Saturday, and we were doing
- 22:24Speaker 1: Packers OT yesterday. I went to all the press conferences.
- 22:28Speaker 1: I was in the clubhouse. And I waited until they
- 22:31Speaker 1: locked down the club. I was like, okay, no more
- 22:33Speaker 1: media allowed. And then I kind of shuffled out, and
- 22:36Speaker 1: I still got stuck in hellish traffic.
- 22:37Speaker 2: I was just going to say, and it was still loaded?
- 22:39Speaker 2: It was unbelievable. People didn't want to leave, I guess.
- 22:42Speaker 2: I guess so. I mean, it was not moving. And
- 22:43Speaker 2: then it rained.
- 22:45Speaker 5: We're talking about, oh, we got seven straight days of
- 22:47Speaker 5: just beautiful, clear skies.
- 22:48Speaker 2: We walk out Saturday night. What is this? It was
- 22:51Speaker 2: raining and coming down pretty good, by the way. The
- 22:53Speaker 2: funny part is all the people complaining about the roof
- 22:55Speaker 2: being closed.
- 22:55Speaker 4: They're like, it was a beautiful night and walking. I'm like,
- 22:57Speaker 4: none of you were there. What are you talking about?
- 23:00Speaker 4: It's raining right now.
- 23:01Speaker 2: And that's the other thing.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Yesterday's game was so memorable that it has already eclipsed
- 23:06Speaker 1: the news cycle of 24 hours of roof gate.
- 23:08Speaker 3: True.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Couldn't even think about it. Yeah.
- 23:09Speaker 1: It's an afterthought that we had this incredible, in 25
- 23:13Speaker 1: years of the ballpark being with convertible roof, we had
- 23:15Speaker 1: this moment.
- 23:16Speaker 2: And it's like, I forgot it. Is that the first
- 23:18Speaker 2: time it's ever happened, Drew?
- 23:20Speaker 4: Well, no.
- 23:21Speaker 1: In 2008, in the playoffs, Jason Wirth hit a ball
- 23:24Speaker 1: and ended up being caught by Craig Council at third base.
- 23:26Speaker 1: It looked like it was going to go to the outfield,
- 23:28Speaker 1: kind of a fly ball. It was a monstrous ball,
- 23:30Speaker 1: and it hit the roof, and Council caught it diving
- 23:32Speaker 1: on the infield.
- 23:33Speaker 4: Wow.
- 23:33Speaker 2: When the left fielder's getting ready to catch it, and then...
- 23:36Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, it was like 100
- 23:37Speaker 2: feet away almost.
- 23:38Speaker 4: Yeah. Wow.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was wild. But this is the first
- 23:42Speaker 1: one where it's like, that ball might have gone out.
- 23:43Speaker 1: We don't know.
- 23:44Speaker 4: And then it.
- 23:45Speaker 1: As the umpires were huddling, there was confusion. And Billy
- 23:48Speaker 1: and I were talking about this. Because if you were
- 23:49Speaker 1: watching on television, Dolph, you were in the house. And
- 23:51Speaker 1: people in the stands, I was getting texts from people
- 23:53Speaker 1: who were in the stands.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Like, what's going on? What's going on? That's what I was.
- 23:55Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, no, this doesn't look good. It doesn't
- 23:57Speaker 2: come up. Like, what's the ground rule?
- 23:59Speaker 1: And the ground rules specifically state if the ball hits
- 24:02Speaker 1: any part of the roof in foul territory, it's dead ball.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Yep, dead. Like you can't catch it. Upon touching.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Yeah, if it touches the ball, if it touches the
- 24:09Speaker 1: roof in foul territory, if it comes down and someone
- 24:11Speaker 1: catches it, it's not an out, it's just a dead ball,
- 24:13Speaker 1: instantly dead ball.
- 24:14Speaker 2: If it touches the roof in fair territory, it's in play.
- 24:18Speaker 1: So you can have something where like, you know, the council,
- 24:21Speaker 1: the council thing, if he hadn't made that catch, it
- 24:23Speaker 1: would have been like the highest possible single probably.
- 24:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Like Richie Sexton's longest triple of all time down at
- 24:31Speaker 3: minute made.
- 24:32Speaker 1: The guys on TV were saying like, I, I, and
- 24:34Speaker 1: there were, I think they were confused. Like there's a
- 24:36Speaker 1: rule in Tampa that if it hits the second ring, it's.
- 24:39Speaker 2: A home run.
- 24:39Speaker 3: One of the catwalks is a Homer. One of them's
- 24:41Speaker 3: in play.
- 24:42Speaker 1: So, and then they were, I think they were confused
- 24:44Speaker 1: by that, but I also wondered, cause I went back
- 24:45Speaker 1: and listened to it. Were they saying that that would
- 24:48Speaker 1: have been a home run? That's a, that was a
- 24:50Speaker 1: go ahead Homer. Like if it hadn't hit the roof.
- 24:53Speaker 1: And so there was confusion, even people watching at home.
- 24:56Speaker 3: That was the argument I was making. I thought they
- 24:59Speaker 3: were trying to say, if that ball goes through, it's
- 25:02Speaker 3: hitting X-Golf. Like, that ball was as cleanly poked as
- 25:05Speaker 3: I thought you could see one. I know that there
- 25:07Speaker 3: are people pulling up the StatCast nerds and saying, that
- 25:09Speaker 3: would have gone 330 feet. No, I think it would
- 25:11Speaker 3: have been gone. I never know.
- 25:14Speaker 2: We'll never know.
- 25:15Speaker 4: Trust the science.
- 25:16Speaker 2: But then.
- 25:17Speaker 1: Yeah, we've not had it come up in that moment.
- 25:21Speaker 1: So it was a break for the Brewers, no doubt.
- 25:23Speaker 1: So I've only looked at it once or twice. was
- 25:27Speaker 1: it fair or foul?
- 25:27Speaker 2: What do you think? Well, that's the question. I think
- 25:28Speaker 2: that's a bigger question for me. That's harder to tell.
- 25:31Speaker 1: But also it's like it, it might've hooked foul, but
- 25:35Speaker 1: when it hit in fair territory, as it was, you know, yeah.
- 25:38Speaker 4: Over the pole.
- 25:39Speaker 3: I'm not doing, I'm not going anything over any polls
- 25:42Speaker 3: after what I watched on Friday night in Blacksburg, Virginia.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Oh boy.
- 25:47Speaker 3: Hosed with the field goal going over the pole would
- 25:50Speaker 3: have been good. It would have been a game winner
- 25:52Speaker 3: for James Franklin and company. That's, I don't know what
- 25:54Speaker 3: you call it at that point.
- 25:55Speaker 5: That was such a freak thing. You know, I feel
- 25:57Speaker 5: bad for them for the loss. But also, was it
- 26:00Speaker 5: a 34-yard field goal?
- 26:01Speaker 2: 34-yard field goal. Kick the damn thing through the uprights.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Put it right through the uprights. No doubt.
- 26:05Speaker 1: I mean, everybody talks about, oh, raise the uprights. Well,
- 26:07Speaker 1: then still, how high do they have to be? But
- 26:10Speaker 1: can't they shoot like a beam of light that you
- 26:12Speaker 1: can see?
- 26:12Speaker 2: Thank you, Drew. I'm surprised they don't. It's freaking 20.
- 26:15Speaker 3: 26, we got every microchip imaginable in this football. And
- 26:18Speaker 3: we're talking about some geezer down here underneath the upright
- 26:22Speaker 3: to tell me if it was good or not.
- 26:23Speaker 2: How do I know the guy's not cross-eyed here in
- 26:26Speaker 2: the middle of it?
- 26:26Speaker 4: There should be something that we do it, but like
- 26:29Speaker 4: how high can you make the uprights? I think about
- 26:30Speaker 4: the 65 playoffs where the Packers had the Don Chandler
- 26:33Speaker 4: field goal that people talk about still check cashed. And
- 26:37Speaker 4: you know, that was good, but some people say it wasn't,
- 26:39Speaker 4: but that's back.
- 26:40Speaker 2: When you're right. You're putting it in the eyes of
- 26:42Speaker 2: a guy who's a high school principal. Yeah, what are
- 26:44Speaker 2: we doing? Standing underneath it. That's wild. Unfair to that
- 26:48Speaker 2: young man. You were just this far away from a
- 26:51Speaker 2: Kings weekend. Big time. Had Iowa prevailed over the Buckeyes.
- 26:56Speaker 5: Fortunately and unfortunately for me, yesterday and the day before,
- 26:59Speaker 5: I didn't see a second of football. I was following
- 27:02Speaker 5: on my phone, obviously, in the parking lots, but we
- 27:05Speaker 5: were already tailgating, or we were on our way to
- 27:07Speaker 5: the lots, I guess, when Hank Brown fumbled first.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Play, second play.
- 27:11Speaker 5: I'm like, uh-oh, this isn't going to go well against
- 27:13Speaker 5: this Ohio State team, and You know, they hung around.
- 27:15Speaker 5: It was 10-6 for a while in the second quarter.
- 27:18Speaker 4: And it wasn't really close in the end, so it
- 27:19Speaker 4: makes you feel better.
- 27:20Speaker 3: But the worst part is there's a Julian Sane fumble
- 27:23Speaker 3: when it's 10-6 and there's, I think, two and a
- 27:26Speaker 3: half minutes to go in the first half where it's
- 27:28Speaker 3: laying there at the 50-yard line.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Right, right.
- 27:31Speaker 3: Just laying there on the ground. It's clear as day.
- 27:34Speaker 3: They recovered that one.
- 27:35Speaker 2: Who knows?
- 27:35Speaker 3: Because it could have turned around. But the bad thing
- 27:38Speaker 3: is Jeremiah Smith was on the field the entire time.
- 27:40Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 27:40Speaker 2: 200 yards receiving....
- 27:43Speaker 5: Iowa's not in their class. I mean, clearly, Ohio State.
- 27:45Speaker 5: It looks like the cream of the crop in the
- 27:47Speaker 5: Big Ten.
- 27:47Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 27:47Speaker 5: Maybe Indiana has something to say about that. Maybe Northwestern
- 27:50Speaker 5: has something to say about that. Two weeks, that CBS
- 27:52Speaker 5: game is going to be wild with Ohio State and Indiana.
- 27:56Speaker 5: And the sad thing is, that game's going to go
- 27:59Speaker 5: on at 2.30, and there's going to be people in
- 28:02Speaker 5: America that decide to get married on October 17th.
- 28:06Speaker 2: Right in the middle of that game. It's cheaper, right?
- 28:10Speaker 2: Right in the middle of that game. That's going to
- 28:12Speaker 2: be a wild, wild thought.
- 28:14Speaker 3: Smith is going to have to be the first guy
- 28:15Speaker 3: since Keyshawn Johnson to be the wide receiver taking number one.
- 28:18Speaker 3: Without a doubt. Best player in college football. He's going
- 28:20Speaker 3: to be the number one overall pick. Anybody goes before him,
- 28:23Speaker 3: I would be just stunned.
- 28:26Speaker 2: We've already launched game balls and kicks to the balls.
- 28:28Speaker 2: You can get them to us.
- 28:29Speaker 4: 877-794-1973.
- 28:29Speaker 2: Can we give a kick.
- 28:33Speaker 2: To the NFC North for one of the uglier three
- 28:35Speaker 2: and one slates. Packers game was ugly. Hit that again.
- 28:40Speaker 4: Armin.
- 28:41Speaker 2: Maybe hung over.
- 28:45Speaker 1: I mean, the Packers struggled. The lions lose at Carolina.
- 28:48Speaker 1: And then the Vikings, 15 points against the Dolphins.
- 28:52Speaker 3: 15 points.
- 28:53Speaker 2: No touchdowns. Why don't they ever lose either?
- 28:56Speaker 1: And Dolphs Bears, maybe they got dragged into the mud
- 28:58Speaker 1: in the battle of former teammate coordinators.
- 29:00Speaker 4: The Bears look the best of anybody.
- 29:02Speaker 2: The Jets, they scrapped. They're horrible. They're horrible, but they scrapped,
- 29:06Speaker 2: and the Bears weren't great. When I saw that, I'm like, okay, 23-12.
- 29:09Speaker 5: But then I got to look at the stats, and
- 29:11Speaker 5: I went, oh, well, the Bears had 34 first downs
- 29:14Speaker 5: to seven.
- 29:14Speaker 4: Well, they actually looked– and the thing is, they're obviously
- 29:17Speaker 4: playing with Bajent. They didn't go with Case.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Right.
- 29:20Speaker 5: And that's Ben Johnson saying, I can put anybody out
- 29:22Speaker 5: there and you can't stop it.
- 29:23Speaker 2: I mean, that's just his ego.
- 29:25Speaker 3: Oh, man. And I want to hate it, but God,
- 29:29Speaker 3: do I love it. That's impressive stuff to just say, no,
- 29:33Speaker 3: I'm going to win it with anybody. And they also
- 29:36Speaker 3: spotted the Jets, their first interception in over 650 days.
- 29:40Speaker 4: Wow.
- 29:40Speaker 3: One of the worst, worst numbers of all time ends
- 29:45Speaker 3: for Aaron Glenn in a game that he loses the
- 29:47Speaker 3: Johnson them.
- 29:48Speaker 2: And I liked that.
- 29:49Speaker 3: He set the, set the tenor early because it's now
- 29:52Speaker 3: bears week, this Buccaneers game, as much as we're talking
- 29:54Speaker 3: about it, not much talking about, but yeah, Put that
- 29:57Speaker 3: thing to bed. Now it's Bears week, and now the
- 29:59Speaker 3: thing really starts up here.
- 30:00Speaker 2: Anything can happen. Anything can happen.
- 30:04Speaker 4: I expect anything to happen. Because at some point, this
- 30:06Speaker 4: Ben Johnson small, you know what energy is going to
- 30:09Speaker 4: collapse on him, and I'm here for it. Might not
- 30:11Speaker 4: be this year. Might not be five years. But it's
- 30:13Speaker 4: going to happen one day, and I'll be here for it.
- 30:14Speaker 4: And that's just the reality of the situation.
- 30:17Speaker 1: So that was a grinding victory by the Bears. They
- 30:20Speaker 1: grounded out Aaron Glenn. I mean, they had their backup
- 30:23Speaker 1: running back run it for 150 yards. It's a pretty
- 30:27Speaker 1: good day at the office.
- 30:28Speaker 4: They're a good team.
- 30:29Speaker 2: They can run the ball. For sure. Yeah. I mean,
- 30:31Speaker 2: and they did. And the Jets are bad. But that
- 30:33Speaker 2: was like, yeah, it was a grinder.
- 30:35Speaker 4: Is there any trepidation for them when Caleb comes back?
- 30:38Speaker 4: Or no, because they've been using Case and Tyson. You
- 30:41Speaker 4: mean like to put him back in the lineup? Like
- 30:44Speaker 4: that they get worse when they put Caleb Williams into
- 30:46Speaker 4: the game? Not necessarily worse, but he's a different kind
- 30:48Speaker 4: of quarterback than these guys. Ben Johnson probably thinks, all right,
- 30:51Speaker 4: these are bad guys. How many points did they score
- 30:53Speaker 4: in week one?
- 30:53Speaker 2: How many did they score in week two?
- 30:56Speaker 1: Armin, why don't you go into the caller ID and
- 30:59Speaker 1: the history here of this text line. Call Charles in
- 31:02Speaker 1: Arkdale and see if Malik Willis should have started for
- 31:04Speaker 1: the Packers last year when Jordan Love came back.
- 31:06Speaker 4: Yeah, that was his thing. Charles in Arkdale.
- 31:08Speaker 1: You're Charles in Arkdale-ing the Bears, dude.
- 31:10Speaker 2: We've got to trade Jordan now while we can. You
- 31:11Speaker 2: don't sit your quarterback.
- 31:13Speaker 4: I'm with you.
- 31:14Speaker 3: Backups are backups. The problem is, Armin, he's really good.
- 31:19Speaker 3: I know that this is a problem.
- 31:22Speaker 2: They're winning.
- 31:23Speaker 3: He's really, really good.
- 31:25Speaker 2: We can win with anybody. Keenan Bajent doesn't matter. No, Armin.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Caleb Williams is their quarterback. QB1 is QB1.
- 31:33Speaker 4: Okay, yeah.
- 31:34Speaker 1: You just asked off if there's going to be any
- 31:36Speaker 1: controversy about replacing.
- 31:39Speaker 4: Yes. Okay, then Caleb's in.
- 31:41Speaker 2: So Malik Willis should have replaced Jordan Love.
- 31:43Speaker 4: I don't think it's the same.
- 31:46Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is.
- 31:48Speaker 4: Okay, so this is Steve.
- 31:49Speaker 3: Kick to the balls for Ben Johnson because he's Ben Johnson.
- 31:53Speaker 2: I like that one, Steve. I'm kicking Armand to the
- 31:55Speaker 2: balls right now for that.
- 31:56Speaker 4: All right, fine. Kick me out.
- 31:57Speaker 1: We're even thinking that the Bears would think about, oh,
- 32:01Speaker 1: we're rolling with this backup.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Let's not play QB1.
- 32:04Speaker 4: They play different. That's all I'm saying. They play different.
- 32:07Speaker 5: They also took advantage of the schedule, Armand. When you
- 32:10Speaker 5: look at, you got the Phillies that are, Yes. Still
- 32:13Speaker 5: trying to find themselves. And then, you know, the one
- 32:16Speaker 5: question mark was the rainstorm lost to the Vikings.
- 32:18Speaker 2: I don't know how. Well, turnovers killed them there.
- 32:20Speaker 4: I mean, yeah.
- 32:21Speaker 3: And I mean, still, they had, what, three trips into
- 32:23Speaker 3: the red zone. I mean, they moved the ball on
- 32:25Speaker 3: the Vikings. First and goal at the one. And that
- 32:27Speaker 3: Eagles game looks a lot different if that that win
- 32:30Speaker 3: against the Eagles. Twenty seven seven with Case Keenum on
- 32:33Speaker 3: the field looks a lot better. If the Eagles finish
- 32:36Speaker 3: the last eight minutes of the game and don't Packers
- 32:39Speaker 3: all over themselves. I mean, goodness gracious, blowing that lead
- 32:42Speaker 3: to the Rams yesterday. That was devastating for them. And
- 32:46Speaker 3: for the Rams might have been a season saver.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Just about a two and two now. We also I
- 32:54Speaker 2: know you didn't watch the Packers because you were at the.
- 32:57Speaker 5: The neighbors in the tailgating lot, shout out to Frank
- 33:01Speaker 5: and Jason, they had the TV rolling and the big
- 33:05Speaker 5: speakers on.
- 33:06Speaker 1: So we were able to watch some of the Packers
- 33:08Speaker 1: game anyway. We should probably give a game ball to
- 33:11Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Well done.
- 33:13Speaker 1: And Evan Williams for sending Evan Williams on the last
- 33:15Speaker 1: three plays and locking it down.
- 33:17Speaker 2: But then a kick. But then a kick to.
- 33:22Speaker 1: Injuries in Edger and Cooper is done for the year.
- 33:26Speaker 2: That is absolutely brutal.
- 33:28Speaker 3: And also, I did see yesterday, we'll talk about it
- 33:32Speaker 3: going forward, the tense moment at the podium. We talked
- 33:36Speaker 3: about it a little bit on postgame yesterday when Matt
- 33:39Speaker 3: was asked, how can you do whatever you want to
- 33:42Speaker 3: do this year without Edger and Cooper?
- 33:43Speaker 2: He goes, I don't know, Pete.
- 33:45Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 33:45Speaker 2: I don't know, Pete. I don't know.
- 33:47Speaker 3: Because in all reality, guys, we ask these dudes to
- 33:50Speaker 3: be honest in key moments. I think that was as
- 33:53Speaker 3: brutally honest as you can be.
- 33:54Speaker 2: I don't know. I found out 20 minutes ago that
- 33:56Speaker 2: he's out for the year. We'll figure it out.
- 33:58Speaker 5: And more than any other coach, maybe he will show
- 34:00Speaker 5: you how he feels probably more than he's going to say.
- 34:02Speaker 5: I mean, that's a dude that wears his heart on
- 34:04Speaker 5: his sleeve when it comes to his emotions with his
- 34:06Speaker 5: football team.
- 34:06Speaker 2: That's right. Oh, my goodness.
- 34:09Speaker 3: Dolph, my favorite question, most important one, tailgate back-to-back days.
- 34:13Speaker 3: Did we go with the same spread? Did we change
- 34:16Speaker 3: it up? What was on the menu for the tail?
- 34:18Speaker 3: Cause it, I drove down yesterday to our favorite place
- 34:21Speaker 3: in the whole wide world, the Pottawatomie sports book. It's
- 34:23Speaker 3: about nine 30 in the morning. There were, I counted
- 34:28Speaker 3: 20 cars lined up waiting to get into the tailgate.
- 34:32Speaker 2: We were one of them.
- 34:33Speaker 5: You were, I think we were eighth in line yesterday
- 34:36Speaker 5: to get into the tail.
- 34:37Speaker 2: What time did you guys get there? And then what
- 34:38Speaker 2: was on the menu? We got there.
- 34:39Speaker 5: We met at 1030, so we were in the queue
- 34:42Speaker 5: before 11.
- 34:43Speaker 2: That is impressive.
- 34:44Speaker 4: In the queue, I loved it.
- 34:45Speaker 5: In the queue, I loved it. The queue, which is
- 34:47Speaker 5: now called the Platinum Lot. That used to be the
- 34:49Speaker 5: Rideshare Lot at AmFam. Now it's the Platinum Lot. I
- 34:52Speaker 5: don't know what those people pay to park there. It's
- 34:53Speaker 5: probably $ 100 for a flat. It's the Platinum Lot.
- 34:57Speaker 2: It's hilarious. The poor Rideshare people, they jettisoned them all
- 35:00Speaker 2: the way out towards the freeway. All the way into
- 35:01Speaker 2: that back old General Lot. Almost up on Blue Mound.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Awful spot, yes. Yeah, you got to hike now, man.
- 35:06Speaker 2: But that's all right. Money talks.
- 35:07Speaker 4: That's probably the right way to do it, though.
- 35:09Speaker 5: It is.
- 35:09Speaker 2: But as far as food goes, Billy, we pack light.
- 35:11Speaker 5: We usually get some subs or sandwiches, but our neighbors
- 35:14Speaker 5: were amazing both days. I mean, Saturday, we had two brothers.
- 35:17Speaker 5: One lives in Chicago. One lives in Green Bay now.
- 35:20Speaker 5: And they were cooking everything from pork chops. Yeah, so
- 35:24Speaker 5: they shared with us. And then yesterday, the neighbors were
- 35:27Speaker 5: offering us brandy old fashions and giant sausages.
- 35:31Speaker 2: That's amazing. No pause. No pause. That is what I
- 35:35Speaker 2: am talking.
- 35:36Speaker 3: That is America right there in Wisconsin.
- 35:38Speaker 4: You talking about at the game?
- 35:39Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:40Speaker 4: You take it with your neighbors? That's awesome. Yeah. Do
- 35:42Speaker 4: you guys go together?
- 35:43Speaker 2: No, our neighbors in the parking lot. We just met
- 35:46Speaker 2: for the first time yesterday and Saturday.
- 35:48Speaker 4: Sorry, I totally misinterpreted that. I thought you meant you
- 35:50Speaker 4: and your neighbors. Were you listening?
- 35:51Speaker 3: Are you yelling at people on the YouTube stream? I
- 35:53Speaker 3: didn't say neighbors.
- 35:55Speaker 2: I did say neighbors. I did.
- 35:56Speaker 4: I wasn't thinking right. You meant your parking lot neighbors.
- 35:58Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 35:59Speaker 5: Yeah, but it was– you can't– somebody that's not from here,
- 36:02Speaker 5: it's hard to explain tailgating.
- 36:04Speaker 4: No, I get it now.
- 36:05Speaker 2: No, they will not. They won't necessarily understand it.
- 36:08Speaker 3: It's either in the Midwest or in the South because
- 36:10Speaker 3: those SEC tailgates look like it is as neighborly as you.
- 36:14Speaker 2: Can possibly get. Yeah, good point. You throw a tent up,
- 36:16Speaker 2: you can party.
- 36:17Speaker 5: Very few Padre fans in the stands yesterday. I think
- 36:20Speaker 5: I only saw one. Saturday night, there were a few.
- 36:22Speaker 5: You saw them getting up and clapping in the bleachers
- 36:25Speaker 5: and in the loge level, but for the most part,
- 36:26Speaker 5: it was– There wasn't anybody there that wasn't wearing blue
- 36:29Speaker 5: and yellow.
- 36:30Speaker 2: It was pretty wild. Pretty wild.
- 36:32Speaker 1: It's going to be a great ride. Dolph, thank you
- 36:34Speaker 1: for joining us. Appreciate it. As always, we will return
- 36:37Speaker 1: to our normal festivities. Reminder, an announcement of some significance
- 36:41Speaker 1: coming up at 7 a.m.
- 36:42Speaker 2: Here in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Oh, that's sweet.
- 36:50Speaker 1: We are huddled up on a glorious Monday in the
- 36:54Speaker 1: good land. Wayne Larvey is going to join the party.
- 36:57Speaker 1: After about seven 30, very excited.
- 36:59Speaker 3: To be able to discuss somebody and the heat. Cause drew,
- 37:04Speaker 3: he was suffering. He had said it in there. He mentioned,
- 37:06Speaker 3: he's like, I got some empathy for these players. It
- 37:08Speaker 3: is hot down there. Larry's like, nice for you to
- 37:11Speaker 3: say sitting in here in your air conditioned booth.
- 37:14Speaker 4: Yeah. Although it wasn't open the window.
- 37:16Speaker 2: We're kind of feeling it.
- 37:17Speaker 4: My sources in the booth said it was still pretty
- 37:19Speaker 4: warm because the way the booth was configured and the,
- 37:22Speaker 4: where the vent was for the AC, it kept it cool. Obviously.
- 37:25Speaker 4: But it was still humid up there, and the gaffer's
- 37:28Speaker 4: tape wasn't even getting stuck for the wires. It was
- 37:31Speaker 4: hard up there for these guys.
- 37:32Speaker 2: To deal with.
- 37:32Speaker 4: It was a struggle.
- 37:33Speaker 2: Goodness gracious. Oh, my goodness.
- 37:35Speaker 4: Well, everyone made it through, you know?
- 37:36Speaker 2: Yep. Everyone made it through. Yep.
- 37:39Speaker 1: Still basking in the glow of Jack Centurio's at bat
- 37:41Speaker 1: for the ages, and the Brewers' victory is one of those...
- 37:45Speaker 1: I mean, for most people, that's in your top five
- 37:47Speaker 1: of all-time Wisconsin sports games, singular games. Now, there have
- 37:51Speaker 1: been bigger games and bigger.
- 37:53Speaker 2: Outcomes.
- 37:54Speaker 1: But, man, for most people, in a singular game, that
- 37:57Speaker 1: inning especially was absolutely incredible.
- 37:59Speaker 2: My friends and I automatically started fighting.
- 38:01Speaker 4: Was it top five?
- 38:02Speaker 2: Oh, I like that.
- 38:02Speaker 4: Was it a top five game in Brewers' playoff history?
- 38:05Speaker 4: I said it probably was, but it might be close
- 38:07Speaker 4: if you start really thinking about all the games. But
- 38:09Speaker 4: recency bias is part of that, but we were talking
- 38:11Speaker 4: about that last night. I have some buddies and I.
- 38:12Speaker 2: I mean, yeah. Well, the short list. Game five of
- 38:15Speaker 2: the ALCS.
- 38:17Speaker 4: 82. I'd say 11 NLDS has got to be there, too.
- 38:19Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a serious clincher. It's your first serious clincher
- 38:22Speaker 3: since the ALCS of 82.
- 38:23Speaker 4: So, yeah. I think game one of the 18 LCS
- 38:28Speaker 4: with Woodruff, that moment. Yeah, that was a big one.
- 38:32Speaker 4: But this is probably in there five or four, maybe
- 38:34Speaker 4: in that mix kind of thing.
- 38:35Speaker 2: So it'll be one that continues to get played.
- 38:37Speaker 3: And that highlight that you played coming back from ESPN radio,
- 38:40Speaker 3: a book Shambi is it's awesome to hear the variety
- 38:44Speaker 3: of different calls here. How many different people had their,
- 38:48Speaker 3: their different imprint on it. We can play most of them.
- 38:50Speaker 3: We obviously can't play the one that was, was here,
- 38:53Speaker 3: but I'm very happy, Drew. that we are in a
- 38:56Speaker 3: day and age where the announcer cam is now a thing.
- 38:59Speaker 3: It's not necessarily main character syndrome, but it's we just
- 39:04Speaker 3: want to see if these guys are reacting as much
- 39:07Speaker 3: as we are.
- 39:08Speaker 2: And Boog Shambi standing up in that call, that was phenomenal.
- 39:11Speaker 2: And that's the thing. And for everybody, the announcer hates
- 39:15Speaker 2: your team. Boog Shambi's the Cubs guy.
- 39:17Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 39:18Speaker 2: He just loves games.
