10/021/26 - Hour 1 · The Huddle

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Back with you.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It is the huddle on Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. I'm
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Bill Schmidt alongside Armin Sarian. It is a drewless Wednesday
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: on a World Series Wednesday as we get ready for
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: game one.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: First pitch.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Just after 7 o'clock, 7.08 to be exact, on Friday evening.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: But we need all our boys rested, rejuvenated, a little
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: vocal maintenance, a little gastro intro maintenance, make sure everything
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: is ready to roll, rock the rivers and shake the
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: lakes coming up this weekend. It is a massive weekend
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: that everybody needs to be rested and rejuvenated for, so
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: we are going to carry the load here today as
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the most important days.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: in this.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Town's baseball lore for the last 40-plus years happens in
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: one week. Armin Sarian's got the Brewers shirt on. I'm
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: guessing a Brewers shirt underneath the Brewers sweatshirt, which is
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: then underneath a Brewers jacket. As he is bombered out
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: in the studio here today, ready to roll with you
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: on the huddle.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Because, you know, I... I love my layers, Billy.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: And I'm trying to convince myself now, you know, sometimes
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I run a little colder by nature, like sometimes, but
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: I'll admit it's really not that cold in here. I
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: probably don't need the jacket, but it's one of those
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: things where it's like you try and convince yourself it's
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: the right climate for the brand new clothes you got,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: like to go to school or like your favorite thing, like.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: You want to show off, show out. I just feel
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: like I want to be wearing as much Brewer stuff
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: this week as possible. So I've got the Brewer's jacket on.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Don't think I really need it in here, but hey,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: why not?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: We're going to rock it. We're going to represent. I mean,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: this is it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: This is the moment that we've been waiting for for
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: a generation. This is the time we've been waiting for
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: for a generation. It's 53 hours away from first pitch,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and we're getting closer and closer as the Brewer's The
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: excitement continues. The Brewers have announced that tomorrow they're putting
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: the tickets up for public sale for game three and
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: four for the watch party at American Family Field. And
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: season ticket holders can get them today. I'd imagine that's
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: going to be another exciting hot ticket. Probably the closest
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: some people can get to a World Series game. But hey,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: it might feel just as good. I mean, the game's
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: not in the field, but the atmosphere is there. The
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: atmosphere will be live. And I'm interested to see just
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: how many end up going with a little bit of
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: a runway.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: What was it?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: 12 hours of lead time before they sold 15 or
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: 18,000 for game five. or game four, I should say,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: of the NLCS. I anticipate it to be a pretty
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: raucous crowd on Monday and Tuesday, and then I expect
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: there to be one on Wednesday. This is where settling
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: in and consuming as much conversation about this series as
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: we are, the Brewers haven't had to stretch out. More importantly,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: us fans haven't had to stretch our patience muscle. throughout
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a seven game series.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Quite yet.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: You win the first, you win both in four, you
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: win two sprints. I anticipate this to be a knockout
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: drag out series in a set that you're not just
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: going to gentlemen's in five, even though I didn't anticipate
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and looking back on it, maybe what happened in the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: NLCS could have been a little bit more foreseen. Maybe
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: we should have seen it coming a little bit more
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: of a wounded Dodger team that was ready to be
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: taken out back and finished off by the crew. This hungry,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: pesky Rays team, I don't think is going to go
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: in and go down without a fight. And I think
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: this is in, and we are going to be in,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: for a knockout, drag it out series. And I think
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: that that thing is going to get pushed out to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the limits. And for those that are already wondering if
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: they're game six or seven tickets, hopefully not seven. Hopefully
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: this doesn't become the 47. Second seven game seven in
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: world series history that we see.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: But Armin, I do anticipate that it's coming back here
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and I anticipate it to be a slugfest of a series.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: One that while many won't maybe put it down in
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the lore, I think it's going.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: To be one of the more competitive ones we've seen
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. I think it'll be
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a good one too.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I think there's no question that this is the best
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: team in the American league all year. So we're getting
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the American league's best. It was a down year for them,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the league, but not for the race. They were a
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: really good team. I think them and the Yankees were
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the two best teams in the American league. So we're
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: getting the best of that league. I, I would still
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: say the most optimistic of us would have ever said, well,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: we should have expected a sweep in the Dodger series.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: But the reality is, yeah, I think maybe they were
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: showing those signs in that sense a little bit, but no,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I think this will be in that sense, a war
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: of attrition. It'd be a little more battling in terms
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: of length here. Not that the LCS games weren't battled,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: but the series length is, It'll go longer. Look, it'd
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: be great if we could waltz home and get another dominant,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: you know, like no pressure coronation of a champion.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I don't expect it to be that easy. No, this
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: is a really good race team. They're gritty.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: They have a lot of similarities with the Brewers, as
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: we've talked about a little bit. Not exactly the same,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: but a lot of similarities. And it should be a
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: very tough series, a very good series.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, to your point, will it go seven? I hope
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: it doesn't because I hope we win earlier. But I
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: do think it would be quite a moment to win
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: that game. The ceremony is to win that game. Obviously,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: you get to that point, anything can happen.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: A Halloween night in the city of Milwaukee, in the
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: state of Wisconsin, would be remembered forever. But whenever it
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: would happen, or hopefully does, it will be either way.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: But to the point, you see how the Rays have
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: gotten here. You see how the Brewers have gotten here.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: To somewhat... stark different paths, right? I mean, the Rays
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: have been able to ride Peralta and Rasmussen, their starting pitching,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: as long as the wheels will fall off. The Brewers, what,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Robert Gasser's five innings in game three, I believe is
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the longest start that they have in the postseason. So
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: for the bullpen of the crew to be able to
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: last through a seven game series, six gamer that the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Rays just went through, you would hope A little regression
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to the mean, the thought would be that one of
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: their horses would be due to get tagged early. And
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: if the Brewers are able to put together and string
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: a couple of Jake Powers at bats together and chase
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: one of those guys early like they did Yamamoto, it
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: would be a much different, much, much different series because
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: those two are their horses. And as much as Baker
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in the back end.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Is phenomenal.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know their middle relief being able to play
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: seven games of take your starter out in the middle
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: of the fifth or sixth. I don't know that they're
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: built to be able to withstand that type of series
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: much like the Brewers.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I totally agree on paper. It seems that way.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you look at this as, as a
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: battle of attrition, if you can wear them down, get
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: to that soft underbelly, which is probably their middle relief. Not,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: they don't have some good relievers, but But that's not
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: their strength as it is for the Brewers.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I think their Brewers are better equipped. Their plan is
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the hand is maybe get one reliever in their hand.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: It's a Baker and let him be an absolute horse
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: in the back end.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: That's what they want.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: And the key for the Brewers is going to be
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: to get to their starters as early as possible.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: They've been as good as anybody else.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: In baseball this year to try and exert the most
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: energy and pitches out of starters against them.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: As anyone else, we saw what they did to Yamamoto.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: That was a magnum opus in that sense of, of that,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: that style.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It really felt like it. I mean, it's hard to do.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: And the rays have relied on strength of two starters
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: going as deep as possible, more than any other team
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: in this playoffs, probably because of Freddie has been so
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: good and Rasmussen as well. So yeah, That's going to
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: be the goal for the Brewers. Will they stay hot?
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, those two guys have been very hot. You
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: hope to cool them down, but even if you can't
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: score off them, The Brewers have shown the key to
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: this is to try and make them work, to try
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: and bring their pitch count up, to try and absolutely
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: pull every ounce of energy out of it. And they've
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: been really good at doing that. And the thing about Freddie,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: and we loved him when he was here, and he
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: had the ability to get hot, his stuff was good.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: The one thing we saw with him is sometimes he
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: had to nibble too much, the pitch count would get
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: in trouble. The Brewers seem to be the right team
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: to face that type of weakness. And you kind of
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: hope that comes through. And then we haven't really talked
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: about their offense yet, but that seems to be That
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: seems to be the way to do it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of ways. Are the Rays the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: mirror image of the Brewers? In some ways, yes. In
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: some ways, no. There's just so many subplots to this series.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: And I mentioned Brian Baker at the back end. He's
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: been as good as you possibly can be. As much
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: as the Brewers bullpen, rightfully so, will be the talk
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: of these playoffs and going in for the World Series.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Brian Baker, seven appearances, three base runners allowed. One hit,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: two walks, as he has gotten five saves through the
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: seven victories that the Rays have had. Every one of
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the Rays' victories, though, in the postseason. Brian Baker has
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: finished it out and been a part of it.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: 877-794-1973.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: The NicoletLaw.com talk and text line will be active throughout
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the day. YouTube, X, Facebook stream already up. Those comments
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: are rolling through. Our friend John Kurosawa asking, where is Drew?
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Drew off today. A little bit of vocal maintenance, a
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: little rest and recovery as we get ready for A
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: ridiculously massive weekend.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Load management.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: So you get that in now. You get that load
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: management in now before the big weekend.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Because we're barely chomping off the front end of what
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: this marathon is going to finish off with. Yeah, we
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: won't have about chomping off one wing of that. Tomorrow
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: will be one of the bigger days for us. Obviously,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: it's our doubleheader, as we'll be at the Pottawatomie, just
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: outside of the Pottawatomie Sportsbook at the Annex, starting at 5,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: 5 to 7 for the Thursday night huddle. two to
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: four here, Hunter Baumgart will have you from four to
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: five while we embark on the travel down. But while
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: that is all happening, and while we are presiding over
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the normal happy hour huddle before the Thursday night huddle,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: media day at American Family Field will take center stage.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Brewers will be up at the press table. Rays will
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: meet the media and have all sorts of conversation. on
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: both sides. We'll hear from Brewers owner Marcantanasio, Matt Arnold,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Pat Murphy. You're hearing Pat Murphy everywhere now. Pat Murphy's
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: been on this station twice in the last two days.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: He's been everywhere. I believe I'm okay to say this.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: The only station in the city, the only station in
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the state that Pat Murphy has appeared on back-to-back days
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: has been Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. I think you might
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: be right about that. Joining Colin Cowherd yesterday. He was
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: on with DP earlier on today. We're going to play
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: you a little bit of him with Dan Patrick earlier
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: on today because it was very, very good and very entertaining,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: as it always is. But you'll get the full gauntlet
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: of conversation tomorrow. Maybe get some answers on Brandon Woodruff tomorrow.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And then on Friday, it's all systems go as we
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: get ready for game one of the World Series, finally
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: here in Milwaukee. Made the journey out, Armin, as I
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: know you did earlier this week. I got to take
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: in and had to a little bit of what the
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: atmosphere about the team story would be today. Yeah, pretty awesome,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I would imagine. Live doesn't necessarily do it justice. As
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: about 10 to 12 minutes before 11 when it opens...
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: There's at least a hundred people lined up outside of
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: American family field to get into that team store.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: There's an excitement level and everyone wants to be part
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: of it. And that's one way to do it right now.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: And I think they added the signage up around the
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: park now for the world series. If I'm not mistaken,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I saw someone popping up video of those cherry pickers
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: putting up the little banners and the light posts and
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: stuff like that.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: You know, probably should have been more in tune with that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: You know, but I probably should have been looking for more.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I was curious how, when they would do it. And
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: I saw the paint on the, on the field, as
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: you could get a little bit of a look, a
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: little bit of a look from where, you know, probably
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: five to six rows deep of SRO standing room only.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: We'll be looking on to American family field coming up on,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: on Friday night.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Pretty awesome.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, all that, those all little things
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: to make it feel more and more real. as you
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: approach game one here, and I would just imagine people
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: want to take pictures, be there just to be a
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: part of it, to peruse through the options. I know
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: the team store is doing a lot of numbers, obviously,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: with the shirts, the hats, all the stuff coming in.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Phenomenal numbers.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Phenomenal numbers, and just the excitement of the moment for everybody.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: It's one of those things, Billy, that you don't want
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: to say it'll sustain a generation, because we hope it'll
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: happen more than once a generation from now on, but... boy,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: it is no question that we're starting to feel the
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: excitement of it in the air, especially with this fall
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: weather and everything, but the sun's still out. Pretty awesome stuff.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: As the comments roll in, everyone has their story, Billy.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Everyone has their own story about where they were, what
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: their memory is, what their memory they're going to make is,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: their efforts to try and be there, to be a
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: part of it somehow. And we're going to hear a
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: lot of those. People love being interactive.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: We love it as well.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Already getting them on the Nicola Law.com talking text line 877-794-1973.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: UPS Ben hits us up.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Will there be more Brewers fans at game three and
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: four watch parties at AmFam? or Tampa Bay Rays fans
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: at the game in their own stadium.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: I love this question because you know, I, you know
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: what I like to do, Billy, once these things get
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: fired up is, and it just starts to, it just
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: seems to happen.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: You know, you say I seek it out. Maybe that's true.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Maybe they come to me, but somehow I get in
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: these fan bases on social media. Somehow I get up
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: in these fan bases business a little bit on social media.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: And you know, I have no clue how you do
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: that with throwing out different, you know, lead pipes worth
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: of content.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know that Arman, sorry.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: And online, but there are a few raised fans coming
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: at me. Cause I keep talking about how we're taking
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: over a Tropicana.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It's going to be MPM South Danny boy cane.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Those Milwaukee guys are in for a big shock when
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: they come to the trap for game three. We heard
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: during the Yankee series. We heard during the last series. And,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: you know, some more comments we'll get to from the
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Rays owner. You can miss me with all that. I
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: think the Brewers are going to have a massive contingent
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: down there. I think we're going to have a massive
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: contingent at American Family Field for these watch parties. We've
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: been waiting for this, you know, a long time, and
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: we want to gather, and we want to be together
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: for this stuff.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: And Milwaukee fans have showed it, man.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Their passion is nearly unmatched with some of these fan bases, Billy.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: I was thinking about market size a lot, too, and
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: how the Brewers are considered a small market or the
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: smallest in baseball based on how MLB ranks it. But
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: when you consider the fact that our market is not
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: just Milwaukee, it's really regional for the state of Wisconsin.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: And even though Tampa's market size is technically half, you know,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: midway through the MLB, theirs is very provincial and it's
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: not as regional for the whole state.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: You really just can't compare.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: The depth of excitement and the depth of passion that
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: this whole state has.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: And we've known that for a long time, and now
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: we're starting to see it.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: All right. You piqued my interest here. What were these
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: comments by the Rays owner that I have not seen yet?
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: You know, it's pretty funny. I'm just perusing through today
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: looking at content, obviously. And it was part– I don't
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: know how I missed it initially. It was part of
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: the celebration, the champagne celebration– when Tampa won the pennant.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: And it was the owner of the, Patrick Zalupski is
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: the owner and the principal owner and co-chair of the Rays.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: All right, now I was going to save it. I
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: was going to save it for.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Like 420 because I heard some of this stuff and
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to pipe it. Well, do you want
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: to save it for 420? Because it was like 420
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: worthy to me.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's do that. Let's do that.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: And then we'll get the audio. Well, if it was
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: part of the champagne celebration, maybe we can find some
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: of the audio. We'll have that at 420. Okay, I
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: like that. I like this little Patrick Zalupski. Is that
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: how I'm pronouncing my man's name?
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Zalupski, Zalupski. I don't know what it is. He's got
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: a nice little smile. It might be. taken off that
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: face if the Brewers win this thing in six.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I've learned more about him in the last four hours
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: than I ever did. You couldn't have knocked me over
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: with any sort of name, what the Ray's owner was.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: CEO of DreamFinders. Yeah, he's a house flipper. He's a
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: house flipper. He's a house flipper. He grew up in Detroit.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: I think he was working in Detroit. Then he became
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: a house flipper and made some money on it. It
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: was really good.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, good for him, whatever.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Just for.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Pretty funny comment I saw, and I was like, I'm
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: not really sure about that. So, you know, a little
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: bit of that. We'll get to it in 420, or
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: maybe you can run it earlier if you really want.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: We can run it twice.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Well, no.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: If you think it's 420 worthy, as somebody that definitely
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: in vibes with that and knows a lot about the
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: 420 area, Armin, I'm going to take your word for it.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited to hear how that comes to fruition.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: We are going to hear from some legends on the
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: show here today.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Larry Heisel.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Cecil Cooper, Jerry Augustine will fire you up like nobody's business, Wisconsin.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: They got the best guys for the World Series.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: And obviously, Robin Yount. They all talked earlier on today
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: on a Zoom call. Went for almost an hour worth
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: of conversation, back and forth, fielding questions, talking about this
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: year's team, how it made them feel watching and celebrating
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: and cheering on the crew as they went out and
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: dethroned the defending champion Dodgers. And also the answer from
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Robin Yount, a couple of them that I think people
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: have been waiting for. One, how did he feel? to
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: get the call by Pat Murphy and Christian Yelich about
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the captaincy. What kind of honor was that? What did
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: he feel and think of that moment? And will this
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: one maybe take away some of that sting that he's
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: talked about of 1982 in game seven, having right there
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: in living with for the last 44 years. Awesome question.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe even better answer from Robin.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Can't wait for that.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Cause I think if, if you did watch the 82
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Brewers documentary, just a bit outside, uh, That was one
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: of the more emotional moments of the documentary and to
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: see Robin get emotional. So to get a little more
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: of that is going to be super interesting.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Loved it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: You know, peek behind the curtain when they were doing
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: this and Hunter was involved in the zoom. The best
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: part about it, Billy, is they didn't want to leave.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: You could tell they didn't want to get off. I mean, they,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: they love talking to each other, being with each other
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: again and talking about this and, And you could see
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: the glint in the eye, the happiness it gave them.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: So that, I think, was the coolest part. But we'll
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: hear all that audio.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: A lot of comments coming in now on YouTube. Obviously,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: TheNickelyLaw.com talking text line. We'll get to all you guys.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: I love a lot of joking around. Possible Drew locations today.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: World Series-related activities. Vacation or scoping the on-the-porter auction items
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: in Franklin. I don't know about the last one, but
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: it's pretty funny.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're having that. They auction it off? Yeah, they are.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: They're having the estate sale finally? Yeah, they're auctioning some
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: stuff off. That's pretty funny.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe they have a chair that I fell asleep in
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: one time. You can buy that.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: 877-794-1973.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And you wouldn't have to rip it out like people
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: did stadium chairs at County Stadium.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I remember those days.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Aaron in Carolina. Tampa fans aren't true fans like us
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Brewers fans. We are ride or die. The Tampa Bay
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Rays stadium is empty until right at the end. It's ridiculous.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Aaron also said the commitment to our teams. is night
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: and day, bro. Not even close. Aaron, I like that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: You have to agree. I mean, they do tarp off.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I would tend to believe some of that. They tarp
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: off a bunch of their stadium because they don't sell
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: those tickets. And whether or not there's a reason for it.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: I believe the tickets that I'm sitting in for game
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: three potentially are tarped off ones.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: They have on.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I think that's a very, very good chance that they
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: are the tarp section. But it's going to be a phenomenal,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: phenomenal time.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: And we haven't talked about that yet, Billy.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: You have jumped in and are going down there for
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: game three, which I think is extremely exciting.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: So that should be a lot of fun. You've got
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to be excited for that.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, Corey said, Drew's booking game four flights for all. Well,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: that's nice of him.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Corey from Portage. Appreciate that. That would be nice
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: of him to be able to do. Yeah, I love that. Absolutely.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Thanks for the compliment on the jacket. You guys can
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: get it in Team Store. Well, they probably have one
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: similar to this. I think this is a few years
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: old style.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: That was nice of him to be able to throw
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: you that red meat because you've been waiting to be
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: able to talk about your jacket again.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I don't need to be complimented on it, but it
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: does gas up the ego a little bit, and I.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Do appreciate that because I think it is pretty cool. John,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: have you... You sweating in that thing back there yet?
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: No, actually, it's not that warm yet back here. I
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: don't know why, but I will probably... Arm.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: And rocking three layers, a sweatshirt and a jacket here today.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Inside as we bring you some beautiful conversation on a
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: 72-degree October day.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: But this is the thin one, the thin sweatshirt, so
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: it's more like that, and the other one's just under
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: an iron jock.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Iron Jack t-shirt. So that's not too bad.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: John asking, have you boys heard the win our way
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Brewers anthem? by Brookfield pastor, Brian Mitchell.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I have not. No, I haven't, but I could use
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: some new Anthem.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: So if you want to send them my way to play,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: if you know, you know, yesterday's didn't really hit the
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: way we wanted.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: No, that one definitely didn't hit. I'm pretty surprised that
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: this is now Wednesday. And I don't think I've heard
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: you spin through turning up the heat or come see
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: what's brewing.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll get them.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Those are choices. That's a, that's a choice. One that's
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: been made, but listen, it's a, it's still a couple
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: of days away from first pitch. We're still tempering the excitement,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: but I think it's building to a point where, that
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: is a little bit higher than a fever pitch. It's
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: hard to contain the excitement as we get ready for
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: the first World Series in this city in over 40 years,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: but also getting excited for your four and two Green
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Bay Packers taking on the Motor City Kitties.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: That's going to be another one. Don't forget about them.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Brady and Burkhart, 325 action. Three of your favorites, Billy. Well,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: they are my favorites. Kevin Burkhardt, maybe not as much.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I really enjoy Tom Brady. I know you don't necessarily
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: enjoy Tom Brady as much. As a broadcaster, he's definitely
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: gotten better, though. He's growing on me a bit. I
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: would say if people are frustrated with Fox announced teams,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: the football one, definitely not frustrated with. very, very into
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: their football broadcasting team, their pregame and postgame show.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I know we're going to be.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Distracted by this little thing called the World Series, the
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Brewers are in, but this is a big opportunity for
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: the Packers, no question about it. You've really turned your
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: thing around here in that sense with the rough start
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: to the year, but the last two games have been good.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: You roll up to Detroit and get it done.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: You're talking about a 5-2 and a win like that,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: so it's a big opportunity, no question.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: And a certain person might be back in the fold.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: We'll talk a little bit about Josh Jacobs' potential availability.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Matt LaFleur answers some of those questions later on here today.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: We'll bring you his comments after he hits the podium
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: up in Green Bay. Armin Sarians right there.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I'm Billy Schmid.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: You're on the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line. Drew Olson
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: out today. He'll rejoin us tomorrow and make sure that
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: he's ready to roll for a massive doubleheader on World

  Speaker 2: We always have your chance to be able to walk
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: away with some Pottawatomie gift cards. We also have your
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: chance to win Bon Jovi tickets tomorrow.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: That's exciting for us.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Must register in person between 5 to 7 tomorrow at
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: the Pottawatomie Sportsbook. More details on that coming up as
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: we continue. And our friend John Greenberg stops by on
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: the other side from the Milwaukee Admirals, president of the
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee Admirals. And we'll talk some crew as well and
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: a little adjustment to their schedule to celebrate the World
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Series that we'll discuss with Greeny on the other side.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Huddle up with us, folks.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: It's a Wednesday edition of The Huddle on Fox Sports
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Radio Wisconsin.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Come catch the fever. The fever we're brewing is for everyone.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: You'll be a believer in Brewer fever when you feel
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: the excitement.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Of the big home run. Stomping your feet, clapping your hands,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: you're part of the team.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: That music brings in one of our absolute favorites as
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: we huddle up with you on Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Billy Schmidt, Armin Sarian with you today. Drew Olson out.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: He'll be back with us tomorrow for our doubleheader as
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: we get ready to roll into the World Series at
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: American Family Field on Friday. Drew will be joining us
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: for our doubleheader of our Thursday night huddle live from
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: the Pottawatomie Sportsbook at the Annex just outside of the
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Pottawatomie Sportsbook coming up tomorrow. But coming up on Sunday,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: 325 is a Packers kickoff, 1 o'clock faceoff at UW-Milwaukee
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Panther Arena. And our next guest, John Greenberg, joins us
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: to discuss some Milwaukee Admirals hockey.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Greeny, always appreciate it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: And I know how excited everybody around the city of
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee is. But maybe none more than our own John Greenberg.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: What does it feel like for you out of all
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: the times going to County Stadium, American Family Field? formerly
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Miller Park, to be finally back in the World Series.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: And as much baseball as you've watched, can you believe
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: that 44 years has gone so quickly?
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: Well, certainly it has gone quickly. There were some lean
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: years in there, for sure. But this last, oh gosh,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: 15 years, really, of Brewers baseball has been so great
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: to watch. And it's very rewarding to for those of
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: us who are front office alumni to, you know, feel
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: like we're still part of this thing. And, you know,
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: I've been in touch with a lot of people that
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: I worked with over the years and a lot of
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: people that I haven't heard from in a long time
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: who want to know how they can get tickets.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: So.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: I don't have a whole lot of context to be
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: able to help them with that, but it's very rewarding
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: and it's very exciting. And I was at the World
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: Series in 1982 as a 15-year-old kid. You know, to
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: think that it has taken this long to get back
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: there is kind of crazy. But the feeling of being
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: so close now, it's really, really electric.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you told them all. Tickets are available at MilwaukeeAnimals.com. Greeny,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: it is funny.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: I saw you this week in the arena, and we
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: talked a little bit about that aspect of it is
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: amazing how something like this is obviously exciting for all
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: of us. But the best part is the way it
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: brings people together and reunites people. And you just talked
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: about it, all the people you worked with when you
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: were an employee of the Brewers and all the memories
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: and everyone that kind of had a hand in it
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: all along the way, as happy for those guys as any.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: And you, like, wasn't your old desk in, like, the
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: shower at County Stadium or something like that? Just from
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: those humble beginnings, the memories have to be overwhelming.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. Telling the stories about how Hank Aaron
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: used to take a shower in my office is always
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: a good story, but it was true. My office at
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: County Stadium before we moved into Miller Park was in
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: the shower room of the original stadium. Brewer's locker room,
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: what was the Braves locker room. So, yeah, crazy stuff.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: But it does bring us together. I tell people when
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden you're high-fiving strangers and hugging people
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: you don't even know because everybody's so excited being part
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: of something and seeing the viewing parties and seeing people
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: just talk about Brewers and wear their Brewers stuff. It's
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: why sports is so important to a community. It brings
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: us together. We're really happy to be part of that
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: fraternity of sports teams here that get the opportunity to
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: offer this to people in southeastern Wisconsin.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Winning is contagious.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: John Greenberg, president of the Milwaukee Admirals, joining us here
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: on the huddle. Greeny, I think the excitement of sports,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: we kind of touched on it maybe a little last week,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: but When this happens, people get a little bit more
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: sports craze. They get excited to be around. They get
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: excited to be at games, at events. And Admirals hockey
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: is always one that's going to deliver on the entertainment side.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: But when it coincides with Game 1 of the World Series,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: you guys made the move to... Armin and I may
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: or may not have been wondering about this coming up
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: for the last week and a half because Armin and
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: I were both slated to be at.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Panther Arena.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: On Friday night, but now it'll be a little bit
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: different of a Sunday matinee to be able to clear
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: the way for people to be able to celebrate on
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Friday night.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we had been talking about this for about 10
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: days prior to the Brewers clinching a spot in the
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: World Series. We all knew the calendar that this was
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: a possibility, and we're grateful to be able to move. Frankly,
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: it takes a lot of different approvals to get something
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: like this done. Your league has to approve doing something
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: like this and making sure you have officials, the visiting
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: team has to approve be available and willing to change.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Your building has to be open and willing to change
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: and also be able to staff the building so that
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: when people come, they're getting the same experience they would
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: if it was the game that was on the schedule.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: A lot of moving pieces and a lot of people
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: that were very happy that we were able to make
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: this decision. None more so than myself so that I
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: can go to the game. But excited that they were
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: able to do it and I'm thankful to everybody who
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: made it possible.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure Harris feels the same way. He told
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: me he was going to the game. Yeah, he was
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: going to find his way in there.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Do you think people appreciate, I know fans can get
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: impatient and you want instant results. A lot of it,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: you know, if the Brewers announcing a watch party and
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: things like that and what's taking so long, I think
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: fans get excited for these moments and so impatient because
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: they want something else to grab onto that they're waiting
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: for these things. But I don't think they really appreciate
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: and you're in this position, how hard and how many
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: things have to happen and all the different levers that
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: have to take place to move something like that. You're
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: talking about employees. You're talking about changing all kinds of,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: like obviously you said, venue approvals and things like that, teams.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: There's a lot that has to go on that people
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: don't appreciate, Greeny.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not as easy as just saying, hey, yeah,
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: we're just going to change the game. Or, hey, we're
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: just going to open up our facility and be available for...
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: In the ballpark case, it could be how many people
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: they're going to have for those viewing parties, but they
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: theoretically could have 40,000 people out there. You can't just
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: snap your fingers and make that happen. A lot of
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: things have to get organized. As much as you don't
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: want to be superstitious, those of us who have to
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: make the decisions don't allow superstition to come in. Somebody
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: may say, hey, why didn't you just get ready for it? No,
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: you can't do that. They might not get there. Anyway,
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: it's a matter of Just getting your ducks in a
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: row and it's part of running a business and just
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: being prepared to make a switch when you need to.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Well, and we are lucky to be one of the
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: smallest little pieces and be around your business. You operate
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: incredibly well. and fortunate enough to be there on Sunday
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: for the new star time, one o'clock face off against
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: the Chicago wolves and a sweet giveaway with a Gruber
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: law office t-shirt with greenie, the logo of my youth. Again,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: one that makes me feel some sort of way winning
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: is contagious. That logo has got some winning to it
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: as well of the little retro t-shirt giveaway that we're
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: seeing on Sunday.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the Admirals logo from the year that they
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: won the Calder Cup back in 2004. So thankful to
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: the folks at Gruber for being open to being able
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: to move this on to the Sunday so the first
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: 4,000 fans will get that t-shirt. And all the promotions
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: that we had scheduled for Friday night, all move to Sunday.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: If you have tickets from Friday night and you're going
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: to come on Sunday, you don't need a new ticket.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Just use the same ticket will work. But we have
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: an Ian's Pizza student night deal that is normally on Fridays.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: We've moved that to Sunday. So $ 15 with your student
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: ID gets you a ticket to the game and a
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: slice of Ian's Pizza at the retail locations. The fair
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: deal Friday has been moved to Sunday. So a ticket
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: to the game and a ticket to the state fair
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: will for next year, which that'll be here before we
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: know it. And so you can get your first crack
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: at that. So a lot of things that we had
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: planned for Friday just get moved to Sunday.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: There you go. There you have it, Greeny.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: The phrase, a rising tide lifts all boats, I know
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: has been thrown around, but I really believe it's the
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: case when it comes to the energy of a sports town,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: of a sports excitement in a city.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: And do you expect that a little bit now.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: As hopefully we move through the end of the Brewer
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: season with the World Series victory? And we hope that
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: it'll just whet everyone's appetite for more sports excitement, more
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: sports live viewing as we head into the winter with
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Admirals Hockey.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's certainly our expectation, and we have seen it before.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: So I think we've seen it even with our own
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: business back when we won 19 games in a row.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: That absolutely got everybody's attention, and we really wanted to
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: be part of it. We anticipate what the Brewers are
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: doing being a positive for us. Tomorrow we'll actually be
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: making an announcement of some Brewers-Admirals business, so keep an
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: eye out for that. That'll be good for for the
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: rest of the season as well. So a lot of
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: good things. We're glad to be partners with the Brewers.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: It's been a longstanding relationship and we're really proud to
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: support them.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: And we are proud to be able to let people
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: know that if you are trying to get a really
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: exciting moment also for Sunday, October 25th, The front row crew,
• 33:29

  Speaker 2: That is an incredible, that is an incredible crew package
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: that you can grab and have some of the best
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: seats in the house. But Greeny, um, Today at MKE Admirals,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: see this Milwaukee Admirals deer camp specialty jerseys coming up
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: for the 14th of November. When you start to wonder
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: of the unofficial tertiary colors of Wisconsin, everybody thinks green
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: and gold, blue and yellow, maybe some red and white,
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: obviously Admirals blues. But let's be honest, blaze orange is
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: the unofficial third color. Yes.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Of Wisconsin.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that we're able to enjoy that with some
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Admirals hockey coming up in November.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're excited to do this as a brainstorm of
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: some members of our team here. With hunting season rapidly approaching,
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: we wanted to get a head start on it. So
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: the week before deer hunting starts, we're doing deer camp night,
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: and we're going to wear some camo with a blaze
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: orange Admirals logo on it, and it's really, really sharp.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: So Um, we're going to auction those off, uh, for
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: the utmost power play foundation. So you can get the
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: ones that our players are wearing and we'll have plenty of, uh,
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: camo and orange, uh, merch in the store. So, uh, it's, uh,
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: it's a lot of fun to be able to put
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: these things together. And that first specialty jersey was pretty sharp.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is phenomenal. I'm excited to be able to
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: see that. And, uh, I'm excited to get my hands
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: on some of that merch because if you know anything
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: about me, Greeny, I want to go to deer camp.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not really the hunting type. I'm not the sitting
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: out in the cold and waiting for Bambi one, but
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I want to go and be about deer camp. I
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: want to go and just hang out with everybody in
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: the orange and in the camo and be in the warmth.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: So this is the perfect place to be able to
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, and I'm sure we're going to have a lot
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: of fun that night doing a lot of hunting-related things
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: that don't involve actual hunting, but the things that go
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: with deer camp.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: The perfect kind. Greeny, always appreciate it.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Good luck tonight as the Admirals are on the road
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: at the Iowa Wilds, 7 o'clock face-off right here on
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports 920 in Milwaukee.
• 35:46

• 35:48
  Speaker 4: Thank you, guys. Appreciate it.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Greeny. John Greenberg, president of your Milwaukee Admirals,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: joining us here On the huddle. We do not take
• 35:57

• 35:59
  Speaker 2: part of Milwaukee Admirals hockey.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, Billy.

  Speaker 2: And to be a part of that moment where they
• 36:04

  Speaker 2: You know, media does start with me. Armin and I
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: were both scheduled to be appearing at the Milwaukee Admirals
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: game on Friday.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: I like that you say appearing. I must be honest.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're working. It's not like people come to
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: see us, but I do appreciate it.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Trust me.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Nobody comes to see me, but people come to see

  Speaker 2: Armin Sarian at a Milwaukee Admirals game.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Listen, speaking of Paws, and Hawes was there on dog night,
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: you should have seen the way they were excited to
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: see me when I had all those rescue dogs around me,
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: you know? It was a great dog night, by the way.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Then I have another one I know, but that's another
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: great one. I appreciate you saying that. I like to
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: pretend that.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: No, you like. Not for us. Not pretending. Even though
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: we have the mic side, everyone came for us. I
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: like to pretend that, but. But awesome.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: Awesome to be a part of it. Awesome that the
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Brewers and Admirals continue their great partnership. The patches are
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: on the jersey, as you know.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: He posted a very official statement with letterhead and everything
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: that I probably should have had and probably should have read,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: but he summed.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: It up even better. But he mentioned it.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Our ties with the Milwaukee Brewers run deep, beginning with
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: our owner, Harris Tour, who is also a proud Brewers
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: minority owner.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Indeed.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: And more importantly than minority owner for Harris Tour. Brewers fan,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Harris Stewart.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Number one, he was so excited. Brewers fan, Harris Stewart.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: I stopped him downstairs and I saw him. I was like,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: you're going Harris to the games? Probably one of the
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: dumbest questions I could ask. But I just went, you're
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: going to the games? He's like, oh yeah, I'm going.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be there. I'll be there, Armin. He was
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: so excited.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: He was just, you could see it. We've got a
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: good one there, no doubt. I don't know what this Brewers.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Enjoy bullpen conversations with Harris. I enjoy off-season Brewer conversations
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: with Harris. Always tuned up for some Brewers baseball and
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: always for some admirals hockey and if you go and
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: enjoy that coming up this weekend you can go and
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: enjoy a great uh free t-shirt which we always like
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: we love free and i don't know what the business
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: full disclosure we have no idea what it is can't
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: we get a shift out of free lick i mean
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: you know he was obviously you know how good he
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: was in high school football billy he was a great
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: hockey player in high school too you can't tell me
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: you can't put him on the penalty kill for one shift.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: He'd be ready to go.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Well, we need him to be able to do 10
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: more days of service to the other team. Maybe wait
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: until the season ends for that. Yeah, 10 more days
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: of service for the other team. Then he can start
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: doing some runs.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: I'd love to see him on skates and see what
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: he could still do. Because I'm sure he could.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Get up and down the ice.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I heard from Christian Yelich talking about trying to tackle him.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: It feels like he's still got his football ability with him.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: I imagine he's still got a little bit of hockey
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: acumen to him.
• 38:44

• 41:03
  Speaker 1: be honest.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: If these two teams were playing in February. It'd be
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: a potentially really tough watch to see from a team
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: that earned the number one overall pick last year.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: Earned.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: They won the lottery.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: But they earned it. They went through every loss that
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: you had to, to be able to get AJ DeBonsa
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: who will not be on the floor tonight.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: You won't even see him. Yeah, that's true. So there's
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: always excitement. We love our bucks. It's, it's a new
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: journey for them. A new look, very new journey.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Might be different, but they do play tonight. A regular
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: professional season basketball game, regular season, professional basketball game. They
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: will play tight. So look, I mean, he's not there.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: The Wizards have other big names. It might make you
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: scratch your head, but let's hope they don't want to
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: know tonight. You know, I'm not going to be pessimistic.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Let's hope that the Bucs surprise some people.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Would you have guessed that as you sit here getting
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: ready for the 26-27 regular season for your Milwaukee Bucs,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: that they would be only a four and a half
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: point underdog in their first game? No, I wouldn't have
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: guessed that. I would have guessed it'd be a little
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: bit bigger.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: But, you know, maybe this can give us some hope
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: that the gulf between them and other teams isn't as wide.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know what they're booking this on. Is it
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: because of the Bonsa or because of the unknown? Western
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Conference Finals stud, Justin Champagny.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Sorry, is that his? No, Champagny is on the.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: I did not know that he was on the. I
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: did not know that he made the move over from
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: San Antonio. Or is that a brother of Julian Champagny
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: who we watched with the San Antonio Spurs?
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: I'll admit I haven't followed the Wizards offseason as closely
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: as I probably should.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Just realize now that they are aware and the team
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: that was lucky enough to end up this offseason with
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: DeAndre Ayton.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: That I do remember. I would guess that maybe is
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: a fortunate thing. They were talking about that. A one-year
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: deal at $ 8 million.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Because I think DP was talking about that early in
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: the summer, late summer, because he always likes to talk
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: about Wemby and things like that. It was an interesting
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: night in the NBA last night. I know this is
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: not on top of mind for any of us this week.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: for a lot of people, but there are bucks diehards
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: out there. We're all diehards. We're all fans.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: We're all excited. We're just, our attention is swayed.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: When you potentially turn on my 24 for free Milwaukee
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: bucks basketball season long.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: That's the nice thing about starting up tonight.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: You, you might not know, but you will see the
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Anthony Davis and Trey young led Washington wizards against.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: They've got stars, the hometown kid.
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: They've got star Tyler hero, miles Turner, Braden Burries. Hometown hero.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Ryan Rollins.
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: A.J.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Green.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Going out there battling for your Milwaukee Bucks. You got
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: a bunch of guys. Kalel Ware. Kalel Ware. This is
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: a new look Bucks team. Very exciting. Gotta be honest.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Thank God they're not opposite a World Series game. Because
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: there would not be a lot of eyeballs going on
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Taylor Jenkins' first game as Milwaukee Bucks head coach.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: We want those eyeballs on them. Yeah, that's reality. And
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: that's fair.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: And they start up a good doubleheader on Friday. three
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: o'clock bucks home opener against the bulls. Maybe beat the
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: baby bulls. Then roll through game one world series.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: If you got any extra cash laying around after getting
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: your world series tickets, you might as well go over there.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: You might as well stick right here. We got a
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: lot more from coming at you. We got Hunter Baumgart
• 44:26
