- 1:33Speaker 2: I'm very excited to be in the building on Saturday
- 1:36Speaker 2: night for Camp Randall when USC comes to the camp,
- 1:39Speaker 2: because I anticipate it is going to be one that
- 1:43Speaker 2: is somewhat distracted, some that is finding any way to
- 1:46Speaker 2: really test that. badger football wi-fi that they have pumping
- 1:51Speaker 2: through the stands because there's gonna be a lot of
- 1:53Speaker 2: people trying to watch two games there yeah understandably so
- 1:57Speaker 2: um it's one of those things where you know sometimes
- 1:59Speaker 2: you have tickets you don't know what's gonna happen.
- 2:01Speaker 5: And then you end up going to that game sort
- 2:02Speaker 5: of like we did with our bucks bowls uh situation
- 2:04Speaker 5: but hey uh you know there are a lot of
- 2:07Speaker 5: kids at uw that aren't out there from out of
- 2:09Speaker 5: state so maybe they'll they'll be a good contingent there
- 2:12Speaker 5: we'll see Not as much of a baseball fan, but
- 2:14Speaker 5: you're right, Billy.
- 2:15Speaker 2: It will get tested. I'm not talking about the students. No. No,
- 2:19Speaker 2: I get that. I'm talking about the real pain customers.
- 2:23Speaker 4: Those that are all wondering, man, I wonder how many
- 2:26Speaker 4: TVs they have in that super special sweet south end zone.
- 2:29Speaker 4: Those people are going to be living the dream coming
- 2:31Speaker 4: up this weekend, Drew, because who knows? It might be
- 2:33Speaker 4: a beautiful one there.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Where's the biggest game you've ever watched that wasn't in
- 2:36Speaker 2: that arena? If that makes any sense.
- 2:38Speaker 5: Like I watched game six of the 18 NLCS at Pfizer.
- 2:41Speaker 2: For opening night there. We were all watching the concourse,
- 2:44Speaker 2: the Brewers game.
- 2:46Speaker 5: I was working a Brewers game in 01 when the
- 2:49Speaker 5: Bucks and the Sixers had that game six in the
- 2:52Speaker 5: Eastern Conference finals when Ray Allen went crazy. All time game. So,
- 2:57Speaker 5: you know, sometimes it's like that. You don't think about
- 2:59Speaker 5: all the games that you've been at where there's been
- 3:01Speaker 5: another one. People are huddling around TVs for. Does that
- 3:05Speaker 5: count with weddings and stuff, too?
- 3:07Speaker 1: Well, maybe.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Of course. I dealt with that this weekend.
- 3:10Speaker 4: Yeah, I was going to say, Drew, where Armin's describing
- 3:13Speaker 4: it would be me as the pear-shaped youth at my
- 3:15Speaker 4: sister's grade school, middle school basketball games on Sundays. Because
- 3:19Speaker 4: they always put these stupid games right at 1 o'clock.
- 3:23Speaker 2: On sunday and.
- 3:27Speaker 4: As the 11 year old that's all i care about
- 3:29Speaker 4: as well let me go find the concession stand all
- 3:31Speaker 4: right fatty we know you want to go get some
- 3:33Speaker 4: peanut m & ms all right we get it.
- 3:35Speaker 2: No it's the only place that has a damn tv.
- 3:37Speaker 4: I'm sorry gotta watch but while i'm here they're making
- 3:41Speaker 4: me buy another hot dog so i might as well
- 3:43Speaker 4: sure All right, 877-794-1973 to the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Get us your game balls and kicks. We're going to
- 3:50Speaker 2: sprint through those. We might have to carry that over
- 3:52Speaker 2: until tomorrow because we also have to do who's hot,
- 3:53Speaker 2: who's not. Brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen Heating and
- 3:56Speaker 2: Cooling and your HVAC experts, Donovan Jorgensen. Boy, there's a
- 4:01Speaker 2: lot of candidates on both sides of this, but I
- 4:03Speaker 2: guess we can start with who's not. Kevin Porter Jr.
- 4:06Speaker 2: waved by the Milwaukee Bucks today.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Out just moments ago as the deadline comes up on
- 4:11Speaker 4: training camp rosters finalizing it. He is waved by the
- 4:14Speaker 4: Milwaukee Bucks. Kind of a chorus of moves around the NBA.
- 4:19Speaker 4: Brandon Miller hot, though, on the other side. Former number
- 4:23Speaker 4: two overall pick with the Charlotte Hornets just got a
- 4:25Speaker 4: five-year $ 209 million contract as Sham Sharania points it together. Yeah,
- 4:32Speaker 4: it's not bad. I do believe he's going to be
- 4:34Speaker 4: able to feed his family on that one.
- 4:36Speaker 2: But the Kevin Porter Jr.
- 4:38Speaker 4: One is interesting, Drew, because the numbers on a box
- 4:42Speaker 4: score would say that he can fill it up a
- 4:44Speaker 4: little bit. And there's many people. I know folks that.
- 4:49Speaker 4: You know, maybe watch the preseason a little bit more
- 4:52Speaker 4: intently than everybody else that were very excited and are
- 4:55Speaker 4: very excited about Braden Burry's. We were over at media
- 4:57Speaker 4: day and who was the first player they brought up?
- 5:01Speaker 4: Ryan Rollins. So like maybe that's where more of like
- 5:07Speaker 4: we watched the Packers do this offseason clearing the deck
- 5:10Speaker 4: for some of your young guys. They drafted a bunch
- 5:11Speaker 4: of got a bunch of young guys and a bunch
- 5:13Speaker 4: of young guards. They might as well see if they
- 5:15Speaker 4: can if they can play also not hot. A ruptured
- 5:20Speaker 4: hamstring sounds bad. Yeah, when you rupture anything. A ruptured
- 5:24Speaker 4: hamstring sounds rough. That's what Sean McVay just said. Devontae
- 5:28Speaker 4: Adams suffered at the end of their 18-16 loss against
- 5:33Speaker 4: the Arizona Cardinals yesterday. Devontae ruled out for six to
- 5:38Speaker 4: ten weeks. That would mean that the Packers will not
- 5:41Speaker 4: see Devontae on Thanksgiving Eve.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Michael Parsons might play in that game and Devontae won't.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Plot thickens. Since the beginning of last year, I think
- 5:48Speaker 2: Devontae leads the NFL in touchdown catches.
- 5:50Speaker 5: He was having such a great start to the year. Yeah,
- 5:52Speaker 5: that stinks to see for a former Packer great.
- 5:55Speaker 2: He had that monster's hit.
- 5:56Speaker 4: Was that on Monday night where he just went crazy
- 5:59Speaker 4: for 16 grabs or whatever?
- 6:00Speaker 2: He was looking young and spry and everything. Kevin Porter Jr.,
- 6:03Speaker 2: an older player, waved. The Memphis Grizzlies are waving number
- 6:07Speaker 2: 18 pick Walter Clayton Jr. Whoa. And Micah Peavy. They're waving.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Okay.
- 6:11Speaker 2: And Dalton connect, who was a 17th overall pick in
- 6:15Speaker 2: 2024 of the Lakers has been waived.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:16Speaker 4: They've hated that guy from, from all indications. It seems
- 6:21Speaker 4: like every deadline they've tried to trade him and everybody
- 6:23Speaker 4: around the NBA is like, no, we'll pass, but brother,
- 6:25Speaker 4: we know you don't like him. So we know that
- 6:27Speaker 4: you're going to cut him at some particular point. The
- 6:29Speaker 4: Walter Clayton jr. One drew is a great example of
- 6:33Speaker 4: how different college basketball and the NBA are. You watch
- 6:37Speaker 4: that final four run in the championship run for Florida.
- 6:40Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Sure.
- 6:41Speaker 2: This is the best player I've ever seen. Best I've ever,
- 6:43Speaker 2: best on the floor, best you've seen, takes over games.
- 6:45Speaker 5: Can't find his way onto an NBA floor. It is different.
- 6:48Speaker 5: It is hard to believe. I watch a lot of
- 6:52Speaker 5: Kyle's basketball, Billy. There are players like that where you
- 6:54Speaker 5: see them on the floor and you're like, wow. No
- 6:56Speaker 5: matter what people say, this guy is going to be one.
- 6:58Speaker 5: Who was the guy in Seton Hall? Miles Powell or Miles?
- 7:02Speaker 5: He was just dominating the Big East, and I'm like, yeah,
- 7:05Speaker 5: he'll be good.
- 7:06Speaker 2: He's not. You never know. Then you get a guy
- 7:08Speaker 2: like Osa Godaro, former Marquette player, good player. Who's hot.
- 7:11Speaker 5: You never thought to yourself, oh, he's going to dominate.
- 7:15Speaker 5: He just got a three-year extension today with the Suns,
- 7:17Speaker 5: $ 29 million, so Who knows?
- 7:19Speaker 4: Another guy that I thought was too small to play
- 7:21Speaker 4: in the NBA. That definitely wasn't going to happen. This
- 7:23Speaker 4: guy named Jalen Brunson. And then all of a sudden,
- 7:27Speaker 4: people like, yeah, well, I guess we'll give him a
- 7:29Speaker 4: shot in the second round. Now, all of a sudden,
- 7:31Speaker 4: he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. You want to
- 7:33Speaker 4: talk about a not hot debut, Drew? How about the
- 7:36Speaker 4: one Blake Groupie had for the LA Rams yesterday? First kickoff,
- 7:42Speaker 4: my man goes, tries to make a tackle.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Looks like he gets cut in half. I mean, the
- 7:49Speaker 2: guy weighs like 145 pounds.
- 7:52Speaker 4: But when you see that, when you see that contact, now,
- 7:55Speaker 4: maybe I'm wrong. Name the injury toward ACL was not
- 7:58Speaker 4: what I saw. No, I saw head injury. I saw
- 8:03Speaker 4: a broken collarbone. I saw separated shoulder. No, blew out
- 8:06Speaker 4: his ACL.
- 8:07Speaker 2: He's done for the year. That's who's, who's not hot.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Chris Ballard.
- 8:14Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 8:14Speaker 4: Chris Ballard would not be for my old former Badger
- 8:17Speaker 4: Badger wide receiver, right?
- 8:18Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
- 8:19Speaker 4: And he is relieved of his duties as the general
- 8:23Speaker 4: manager for the Indianapolis Colts. Now, one of the first
- 8:26Speaker 4: things that happens when he gets the job, drew two
- 8:29Speaker 4: weeks before the start of the season. Andrew Luck retires.
- 8:33Speaker 4: And they have not been able to figure it out
- 8:36Speaker 4: since that moment. It's a break there. I mean, they're
- 8:39Speaker 4: the only I think playoff run that they had. You
- 8:42Speaker 4: can call it a run because they played one game
- 8:43Speaker 4: and lost. was with Phillip Rivers as quarterback.
- 8:47Speaker 2: That's a great point, yeah. And that was five years ago,
- 8:50Speaker 2: six years ago. So it's been a.
- 8:53Speaker 4: Disastrous, mediocre 10 years for the Indianapolis Colts. They're the
- 8:57Speaker 4: only team in their division in that 10 years that
- 9:00Speaker 4: has not won the division. Wow. That division holds the Titans,
- 9:07Speaker 4: the Texans, and the Jags. That's hard to believe. And
- 9:11Speaker 4: they're the only one that has not won it in
- 9:13Speaker 4: that time. I would have never guessed they didn't win
- 9:16Speaker 4: it once. I would have lost all my money if
- 9:18Speaker 4: you would have bet me that. I would never have
- 9:21Speaker 4: guessed that.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Wow.
- 9:23Speaker 4: One team that has won it in that time, the
- 9:24Speaker 4: Houston Texans, who's hot. They got a big win over
- 9:27Speaker 4: the weekend. Maybe the best game of the weekend was
- 9:28Speaker 4: the first one there, Drew, on Sunday in London.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Shoot up. They get Tank Dell back. He'll play week seven.
- 9:34Speaker 4: He has last played when he tore his ACL. MCL
- 9:40Speaker 4: and I believe LCL as well. Just one more for
- 9:42Speaker 4: the home. One of the worst, one of the most
- 9:44Speaker 4: devastating injuries I've ever seen was I believe it was
- 9:48Speaker 4: on Christmas Eve, December of 2024 against the Chiefs. He
- 9:53Speaker 4: will be back coming up this week. So who's hot?
- 9:54Speaker 4: Who's not? Brought to you by Donovan Jorgensen.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Heating and cooling.
- 9:59Speaker 4: Also who's hot did mention not hot Badgers performance this weekend.
- 10:03Speaker 4: Offense got what?
- 10:04Speaker 2: 240 yards. That's not hot, potentially.
- 10:07Speaker 4: Hot Badgers at Hawkeyes, big noon kickoff on big Fox
- 10:12Speaker 4: coming up on Halloween day. Best part of that. Full-on
- 10:17Speaker 4: Badger game day. Watch the Badgers hopefully beat the Hawkeyes
- 10:21Speaker 4: for the first time in five years. And more importantly,
- 10:25Speaker 4: have it be a one-score game than the last two
- 10:27Speaker 4: where I think they've lost by 55.
- 10:28Speaker 2: But more than anything... Then you get the full Badger
- 10:33Speaker 2: game day in. Sure.
- 10:34Speaker 4: Maybe possibly game seven of the World Series that night,
- 10:38Speaker 4: if necessary, if necessary.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Halloween night.
- 10:40Speaker 4: I was going to say, or you just get to
- 10:43Speaker 4: load up on candy and trick-or-treating, and maybe the best
- 10:46Speaker 4: block party your neighborhood has ever seen is trick-or-treating going
- 10:51Speaker 4: from five to seven, and then every... adult in the
- 10:56Speaker 4: neighborhood just squatting up at the end of their driveway drinking.
- 10:59Speaker 4: That's basically what trick-or-treating is. Or what's the blocks that
- 11:02Speaker 4: just put up a big projection? Somebody's going to put
- 11:04Speaker 4: it on their garage. You got to, because there's no
- 11:06Speaker 4: way a.
- 11:08Speaker 5: If you cancel trick-or-treating, these kids will revolt. I mean,
- 11:11Speaker 5: these kids will push back. You're not winning that battle.
- 11:14Speaker 2: You're not.
- 11:14Speaker 5: So you've got to find a way to do both. And,
- 11:16Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, you can buy bags of candy for
- 11:19Speaker 5: the kids.
- 11:19Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm not leaving. No, I ain't going to work.
- 11:21Speaker 5: So, boy, that could be a conundrum on Halloween night. Well,
- 11:24Speaker 5: let's win it in five or six. Let's win it
- 11:26Speaker 5: in six. Let's win it in four, actually. Yeah.
- 11:28Speaker 2: We mentioned who's hot. We talked to Wayne Larry about
- 11:30Speaker 2: Jordan Love being hot. Jonathan Gannon's being hot right now.
- 11:33Speaker 2: A nice bounce back by Trace Mack. We're not giving
- 11:35Speaker 2: him his flowers. Very well done. That was important.
- 11:38Speaker 5: No really incredibly difficult kicks, but all important ones.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Consistency is difficult. Yes. Absolutely.
- 11:44Speaker 4: And also in the hot category would be for the
- 11:47Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals, Chad Ryland, their kicker. Six for six yesterday
- 11:51Speaker 4: in that 18-16 win.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Who's hot?
- 11:53Speaker 1: Who's not?
- 11:53Speaker 2: That's right. We could also, yeah, Michael Flores, you know.
- 11:57Speaker 2: That was a big, big win. Good for Mikey LaFleur's squad. Yeah,
- 12:02Speaker 2: I like that. Pesky, pesky punch. Who would have bet
- 12:05Speaker 2: they were going to be two and four? I think
- 12:06Speaker 2: their over-under was three and a half. Who's not hot?
- 12:11Speaker 2: The Philadelphia Eagles medical staff. And poor coach, our poor
- 12:15Speaker 2: devil of the day, Tom Hardcourt-Ward. Tom Hardicore, by the way,
- 12:18Speaker 2: has a guest column in the journal SentinelJSONline.com. Read it.
- 12:20Speaker 2: It's awesome. He mentions me. I was laughing. Yeah, Drew
- 12:23Speaker 2: got a mention. I got a mention. I was just
- 12:25Speaker 2: ripping through it during the break. I was telling him,
- 12:27Speaker 2: that's a fun read. But the medical staff, the Jalen
- 12:30Speaker 2: Hurts thing with his deep vein thrombosis of the calf
- 12:32Speaker 2: and his embolism possibly and his lungs and stuff. Sounds
- 12:36Speaker 2: like an EDM band. They're talking about how they kept
- 12:38Speaker 2: him up all night before the game in London and
- 12:40Speaker 2: he still played. That was weird. There's just weird stuff
- 12:44Speaker 2: about that. But they made Nick Sirianni go to the podium.
- 12:47Speaker 2: After kind of a bland statement put out by the team.
- 12:51Speaker 2: And he got grilled for like 10 minutes about this.
- 12:54Speaker 2: And like, where is the team doctor? Where is the GM? Like,
- 12:58Speaker 2: give a brother some support there. Maybe help me out
- 13:00Speaker 2: a little bit. Just don't make him sit there and,
- 13:01Speaker 2: you know, take it all. What did you think? Like,
- 13:03Speaker 2: everybody's just going to take that release and just like, oh, well,
- 13:05Speaker 2: nothing to see here.
- 13:06Speaker 4: Well, and is it going to, could you help the
- 13:09Speaker 4: guy out a little bit, Drew? Because isn't the number
- 13:11Speaker 4: one thing people criticize and don't like Nick Sirianni for?
- 13:15Speaker 2: It's because they kind of think he's a dummy, right?
- 13:17Speaker 4: Like they gotta, they gotta think that he's stupid as
- 13:19Speaker 4: he walks up there, stumbles through answers a little bit,
- 13:23Speaker 4: like way to help him out a little bit.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Maybe the Eagles said, we're going to send you up there.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Cause you have no reputation anyway.
- 13:28Speaker 4: So they're going to roast you regardless of what you say.
- 13:31Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what you say. Cause you always sound goofy.
- 13:33Speaker 2: So you can't put us in a bad light. Yeah.
- 13:36Speaker 2: You're probably right. That whole situation. That would have been
- 13:39Speaker 2: a Howie Roseman moment. You would have thought that probably
- 13:41Speaker 2: should have totally. So we, uh, we talked about Chris
- 13:43Speaker 2: Ballard not being hot. Like, Guess what? Guess what? The
- 13:46Speaker 2: rumor is churning around. Oh, Colts want to talk to
- 13:49Speaker 2: Peyton Manning about possibly helping out and being in the GM.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Come on. Yeah, you still need a quarterback. I mean,
- 13:54Speaker 2: you still need players.
- 13:55Speaker 4: I mean, you can try, but I'm still I'm honestly
- 13:58Speaker 4: more just amazed that Jim didn't do that while he
- 14:00Speaker 4: was alive.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Right.
- 14:01Speaker 2: The the barrister is wondering he's like a dumpster fire
- 14:04Speaker 2: for the Colts. They fired Ballard. How much for JT?
- 14:07Speaker 2: Bring him back to Wisconsin. Well, Jonathan Taylor should be
- 14:11Speaker 2: available at the deadline. Now, will they trade him?
- 14:15Speaker 4: And Quentin Nelson would be the other one, former top
- 14:18Speaker 4: six overall pick, guard, perennial all pro, that they would
- 14:22Speaker 4: both be fascinating guys. But when you fire the GM, Drew,
- 14:26Speaker 4: then you're like, okay, here, let's make two of the
- 14:28Speaker 4: more seismic moves that our organization has made in the
- 14:31Speaker 4: last decade to the guy that we're also going to
- 14:33Speaker 4: fire because you were... our dude's right-hand man for the
- 14:36Speaker 4: last decade. Yeah, I mean, that's the other thing. It's
- 14:38Speaker 4: a tough trust to throw in there. That being said,
- 14:42Speaker 4: I would be 1,000% interested if the possibility to acquire
- 14:46Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor came up. I was trying to lead the
- 14:49Speaker 4: charge for it last time that it sounded like the
- 14:51Speaker 4: Packers were interested in trading for Jonathan Taylor.
- 14:53Speaker 5: The problem is I would think that you're not the
- 14:54Speaker 5: only team involved that would like to have him.
- 14:56Speaker 2: My guess is everybody wants Jonathan Taylor. My guess is
- 14:58Speaker 2: other people like him too, so that's one of those situations.
- 15:01Speaker 4: It is pretty remarkable how good he is with how
- 15:03Speaker 4: bad their team has been.
- 15:05Speaker 2: And how about the line there, Billy? What do you
- 15:07Speaker 2: think about the line there? I mean, opinions like. Oh,
- 15:10Speaker 2: their offensive line is decent. So he's not just.
- 15:12Speaker 4: I mean, Quentin Nelson, like I said, is one of
- 15:14Speaker 4: the best guards in football.
- 15:16Speaker 2: But no one guy. I think otherwise they're okay.
- 15:18Speaker 5: I was just trying to talk myself into thinking he
- 15:20Speaker 5: could be great with a bad line.
- 15:21Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm wondering that. But like, okay.
- 15:25Speaker 4: The Mike Wall, Marco Rivera lines in the early 2000s.
- 15:29Speaker 4: You know, the Tosh Clifton group. That was a good
- 15:32Speaker 4: offensive line. It wasn't the best in football. You know
- 15:34Speaker 4: why their numbers were? It was because Amon Green was
- 15:37Speaker 4: the best running.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Back in football.
- 15:39Speaker 4: So some of those guys can make average groups look
- 15:45Speaker 4: really good. Like Wayne said an hour ago, Drew, there's
- 15:48Speaker 4: not a whole lot that you see right now, but
- 15:51Speaker 4: a great running back will see slivers that us on
- 15:54Speaker 4: all 22 aren't able to sense and find. I'm excited
- 15:57Speaker 4: to see, hopefully with some fresh legs, what Jacobs is
- 16:00Speaker 4: able to find and carve out for them.
- 16:02Speaker 2: All right, so who's hot, who's not, we've wrapped. But
- 16:05Speaker 2: I got a current electric superhero nominee for you, and
- 16:08Speaker 2: it's an entity, not a person, not a player, it's
- 16:11Speaker 2: an entity. Marcus Theaters.
- 16:14Speaker 5: Ooh!
- 16:14Speaker 2: With Brewer fever running rampant, they've announced that Marcus Theaters,
- 16:18Speaker 2: on Wednesday and Thursday this week, will have special showings
- 16:22Speaker 2: of both the Euchre documentary and just a bit outside
- 16:25Speaker 2: about the 1982 Brewers. Let's go! The theaters, if you
- 16:28Speaker 2: go to MarcusTheaters.com, you will find the information. Theaters like
- 16:32Speaker 2: Green Bay East, Hillside in Delafield, Hollywood in Appleton, Menomonee Falls, Oshkosh,
- 16:38Speaker 2: the Renaissance in Racine, the Ridge Theater in New Berlin,
- 16:41Speaker 2: and the Valley Grand in Appleton. Those theaters will be
- 16:44Speaker 2: showing both of those movies. If you've not seen them yet,
- 16:47Speaker 2: what better way to get ready for what's to come?
- 16:50Speaker 2: then to fill that brewer's fix. Now you got to
- 16:53Speaker 2: a great idea. Just a bit outside. It's been streaming
- 16:55Speaker 2: for a while on to be in other places. So
- 16:58Speaker 2: that is, that is one that I have not seen.
- 17:00Speaker 2: So that is the one that I definitely should have
- 17:02Speaker 2: to see at that point. That one, the appropriate for
- 17:06Speaker 2: the little guys, the kids are, cause I know that
- 17:10Speaker 2: 82 team had a lot of fun. I didn't know
- 17:12Speaker 2: some good stories. No, it's good. It's family friendly. Okay.
- 17:16Speaker 4: I did like seeing Greg Marcus rocking the brew crew
- 17:19Speaker 4: stuff in L.A.
- 17:20Speaker 2: He was. They panned the camera over right there.
- 17:23Speaker 4: I mean, he wasn't sitting right next to Mary Hart,
- 17:27Speaker 4: but Greg Marcus has a pretty damn good seat.
- 17:29Speaker 2: He wasn't sitting in the back row of the. He
- 17:32Speaker 2: had some field access afterwards. He was enjoying it up.
- 17:35Speaker 2: I love that. That's pretty good. Yeah. So that's our
- 17:38Speaker 2: current electric superhero called Currents. the website to find out
- 17:41Speaker 2: about the best in the business when it comes to
- 17:43Speaker 2: all your electrical needs, superheroes on the side of the van,
- 17:46Speaker 2: which now I see everywhere since we started talking about them.
- 17:48Speaker 2: I know. They're everywhere. I see them everywhere now.
- 17:50Speaker 5: I totally agree with you. I see those things everywhere. Yeah,
- 17:53Speaker 5: but that's a good idea because this is the week where,
- 17:55Speaker 5: I don't know about you guys, I'm trying to consume
- 17:58Speaker 5: every piece of Brewers content there is.
- 18:00Speaker 2: I constantly am just looking at stuff, old, new, whatever.
- 18:04Speaker 5: When you get a moment like this and you want
- 18:06Speaker 5: to bask in the glow of and just kind of
- 18:10Speaker 5: ensconce yourself in it, there's no better way than just
- 18:14Speaker 5: to just pull up any piece of kind. I'm finding
- 18:16Speaker 5: old Brewer specials from Green Bay TV stations in the 80s.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Like, I'll just take anything on YouTube right now, anything.
- 18:23Speaker 4: Have you ensconced yourself in any of those pop-up merch stands?
- 18:28Speaker 2: Have we found any of those? Are they sweeping the
- 18:31Speaker 2: city still?
- 18:31Speaker 5: You know, I drive by old boy on 84th and
- 18:34Speaker 5: Layton every day. I drive by him, and I always
- 18:36Speaker 5: think about stopping. I see that sweet Jackson Cheerio kind
- 18:40Speaker 5: of knockoff. It's angled a little bit differently, player T,
- 18:44Speaker 5: but there's some good stuff out there.
- 18:46Speaker 2: No, I went down to the stadium.
- 18:49Speaker 5: I went to American Family Field with Laura and Lena,
- 18:51Speaker 5: and that was a great little outing for a Saturday.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Took some pictures. I did get a T-shirt, Billy. You'll
- 18:55Speaker 2: be happy to know that. Let's go. Which one did
- 18:57Speaker 2: you go with? Got the Nike World Series one with
- 18:59Speaker 2: the cursive across.
- 18:59Speaker 1: Okay.
- 19:00Speaker 2: I kind of like that more than actually champions. Cause
- 19:02Speaker 2: what if we win it all?
- 19:03Speaker 5: So on this one commemorates world series and, you know,
- 19:06Speaker 5: spending $ 45 for a t-shirt is usually not in my repertoire,
- 19:10Speaker 5: but I said, this is the moment let's just do it.
- 19:12Speaker 2: So I decided to.
- 19:14Speaker 4: Well that, and you know, your, your lovely and talented
- 19:16Speaker 4: wife probably gave you the nudge and the, why don't
- 19:19Speaker 4: you say if.
- 19:19Speaker 5: You're going to get, if we're here, we're going to
- 19:21Speaker 5: get one, you should get one.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Like this is the moment.
- 19:23Speaker 1: So, yeah.
- 19:24Speaker 4: I like Laura saying, Drew, we're not coming back, all right?
- 19:27Speaker 4: So we might as well get it if we're doing it.
- 19:28Speaker 4: Just get it if we're going to do it.
- 19:29Speaker 5: Might as well.
- 19:30Speaker 2: I thought about the hat. I'm waiting on the hats.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Now they have the ones at the side.
- 19:33Speaker 4: I saw them well restocked with the hats.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Big time. Big time.
- 19:39Speaker 2: All right. 877-794-1973. When we come back, we're going to
- 19:42Speaker 2: fire up some game balls and kicks to the balls.
- 19:44Speaker 2: And then Hunter Baumgart's going to join us, and we'll
- 19:47Speaker 2: talk baseball with him because he's got a show behind
- 19:49Speaker 2: this one beginning at 5 o'clock tonight.
- 19:51Speaker 4: And people are juiced up, as you should be. You
- 19:53Speaker 4: want to talk about consuming more Brewers content. Absolutely.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Absolutely. That lies ahead. You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.

- 20:35Speaker 4: Yeah, and luckily we're about 35 minutes away from a
- 20:38Speaker 4: Drift Seltzer coming up here, Drew.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Sounds like it could be a Blackstone Drift Seltzer night.
- 20:43Speaker 2: You might be on to something there. That's what I'm
- 20:45Speaker 2: talking about.
- 20:47Speaker 4: Yes.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Now, at 420, the what are you high element of
- 20:49Speaker 2: is for everybody who's continually refreshing and getting sticker shock
- 20:52Speaker 2: about the price of Brewers World Series tickets. Is somebody
- 20:55Speaker 2: high that they're paying like $ 2, 500 to get in the door?
- 20:59Speaker 2: for standing room for 400 level for $ 2, 500. I should
- 21:04Speaker 2: be right behind Mark Adonacio and getting some TV timer
- 21:06Speaker 2: with front row.
- 21:07Speaker 4: Amy, you answer, you ask the question that I've been
- 21:10Speaker 4: wanting to ask, but haven't. And I'm glad you said
- 21:12Speaker 4: it earlier of, I see that it's being listed for that,
- 21:17Speaker 4: but are people buying it for that? And like, I
- 21:20Speaker 4: will tell now if, if Tampa fans aren't buying tickets
- 21:24Speaker 4: in their own park, What makes you think any of
- 21:26Speaker 4: them are going to travel and juice the demand? So
- 21:29Speaker 4: it's all cheesers, but it's 44 years of pent-up frustration,
- 21:33Speaker 4: of euchre love, of just the chance of celebrating 82.
- 21:39Speaker 5: And we're in more of an experience-driven culture, I think,
- 21:43Speaker 5: than we used to be because there's social capital involved,
- 21:45Speaker 5: because people, just this generation is more so willing to
- 21:49Speaker 5: do things like that and say, all right, well, I'm
- 21:53Speaker 5: in debt now anyway.
- 21:54Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.
- 21:55Speaker 5: I just think we'll know. Time will tell if this
- 21:58Speaker 5: market will hold. But right now it's not moving down.
- 22:01Speaker 2: It's not moving down. It's going up.
- 22:02Speaker 4: So it is wild to think you can be sitting,
- 22:05Speaker 4: you know, seven rows behind the dugout for 240 bucks
- 22:10Speaker 4: or right next to the dugout for 400 bucks for
- 22:13Speaker 4: the potential clincher tonight at the Tropicana Tropicana Field. And,
- 22:19Speaker 4: you know, that wouldn't even get you into the door.
- 22:21Speaker 4: It wouldn't even get you a sniff right now.
- 22:22Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable.
- 22:24Speaker 5: And this could break the record for highest series ticket.
- 22:27Speaker 4: It's already on page two. Right now it's... higher gate
- 22:30Speaker 4: than it was to get into the Super Bowl.
- 22:32Speaker 2: It is. Super Bowl prices. It's unreal.
- 22:35Speaker 5: All I can say is, doesn't this prove how great
- 22:39Speaker 5: we are as a fan base?
- 22:40Speaker 2: That's the angle I'm going for. I think that's not bad.
- 22:42Speaker 2: We're passionate. We're committed. The sticker shock and just the
- 22:47Speaker 2: shock of the prices of get-in-the-door tickets for the World
- 22:51Speaker 2: Series is stark, and that's why we're dedicating 420 to it.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Once again, happyplacehemp.com. Use the code HUDDLE for 25% off.
- 22:58Speaker 2: You know what's better than paying $ 2, 500 for a ticket?
- 23:01Speaker 2: What's better than that? Three tickets. Yes, they are. We
- 23:04Speaker 2: have a pair of tickets to see Bon Jovi at
- 23:06Speaker 2: Soldier Field. We have a pair to give away. The
- 23:08Speaker 2: concert is July 21st, so you already have a jump.
- 23:11Speaker 2: They don't go on sale until a week from Friday.
- 23:13Speaker 2: But we have a pair of tickets for you right now,
- 23:15Speaker 2: and you're going to have to answer a trivia question.
- 23:17Speaker 2: You Bon Jovi fans, put your thinking caps on. 877-794-1973.
- 23:21Speaker 2: The trivia question is, you have to tell us, first
- 23:24Speaker 2: correct answer will win these tickets right now. First correct answer.
- 23:29Speaker 2: And the question is, give me the name of the
- 23:31Speaker 2: professional sports franchise for which Bon Jovi was a part owner.
- 23:36Speaker 2: He was a part owner of a professional sports franchise.
- 23:40Speaker 2: I need to know the name of that franchise.
- 23:42Speaker 4: 877-794-1973.
- 23:42Speaker 3: Noted sports fan?
- 23:49Speaker 4: He likes to rip it up a little bit at
- 23:50Speaker 4: some games. But now, I've seen him at a number
- 23:54Speaker 4: of different ones, right? Like, I feel like I've seen
- 23:56Speaker 4: him hanging out in the owner's suite of, like, 12
- 24:00Speaker 4: or 13 different owners.
- 24:01Speaker 2: He's tight with, like, Bob Craft. Definitely the Crafts. Definitely.
- 24:05Speaker 2: But you never know.
- 24:06Speaker 4: I mean, he could also have the effect like Springsteen
- 24:09Speaker 4: has on Murph, where all of a sudden there's somebody
- 24:11Speaker 4: that just says, you know. Bon Jovi's got a song, guys,
- 24:14Speaker 4: that really speaks to me in this moment. And all
- 24:16Speaker 4: of a sudden, you see Bon Jovi hanging on a
- 24:18Speaker 4: locker room after a game.
- 24:19Speaker 2: Could be. All right, so 877-794-1973. And you can Google it.
- 24:24Speaker 2: It's nothing. It's a public record. But what franchise did
- 24:27Speaker 2: Jon Bon Jovi own a piece of for a time?
- 24:30Speaker 2: And Armin, who's on line one? Jon from Burlington was
- 24:33Speaker 2: first in. Jon from Burlington. Welcome to the huddle, my friend.
- 24:36Speaker 4: How are you, fellas?
- 24:39Speaker 2: We're good. We're good. Jon. What franchise did Jon Bon
- 24:43Speaker 2: Jovi own a piece of?
- 24:44Speaker 5: The Philadelphia Soul.
- 24:47Speaker 2: The Philadelphia Soul Arena Football League team. It was arena football.
- 24:51Speaker 2: I was joking when I said Mustangs. Yes, indeed. He did.
- 24:54Speaker 2: He was rumored to be involved with a group that
- 24:56Speaker 2: was trying to buy the bills at one point. He was, yes.
- 24:58Speaker 2: That would have been a good investment. So, John, you're
- 25:01Speaker 2: a Bon Jovi fan? Or is there a lady in
- 25:03Speaker 2: your life that is?

- 25:45Speaker 4: it's a solid, solid concert venue.
- 25:47Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 25:47Speaker 4: Because for a football stadium, it's okay, right? Like, it's
- 25:51Speaker 4: not great. The sight lines aren't always phenomenal. But that walk-in,
- 25:55Speaker 4: that lead-in in the middle of the summer, not a
- 25:57Speaker 4: bad one.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Not bad.

- 26:23Speaker 2: I know, but... Not as good as the first time.
- 26:25Speaker 2: That's good. Arena Football League.
- 26:28Speaker 4: Maybe took the best run at being the second football
- 26:30Speaker 4: league in America.
- 26:31Speaker 2: I would agree with that. They had their moment. It
- 26:33Speaker 2: is so true. They had a good run there for
- 26:36Speaker 2: a little bit. Like it was actually on NBC. It
- 26:39Speaker 2: could kind of follow the teams. Remembered like where the
- 26:43Speaker 2: teams were at and people actually went to some of them.
- 26:45Speaker 2: I was the Milwaukee Mustangs beat writer for like two games.
- 26:48Speaker 2: And then I got reassigned. It was like a boss
- 26:52Speaker 2: calls me and like, I got something for you. You're
- 26:53Speaker 2: going to cover. And I'm like, wait, wait, wait for it.
- 26:55Speaker 2: What's this is my big bump. It's like, I'm going
- 26:57Speaker 2: to be a made man. You're going to cover the
- 26:59Speaker 2: Mustangs arena team. I'm like, oh, all right. Okay, whatever.
- 27:02Speaker 2: And I did like two games, and I was hauled
- 27:04Speaker 2: on to other duties, right? But then the other duties
- 27:08Speaker 2: included backing up Bob McGinn and covering the Packers. Oh,
- 27:10Speaker 2: for sure, yes. I remember walking across the, as you do,
- 27:13Speaker 2: you walk from practice field. Back then it was the
- 27:16Speaker 2: other side. Ray Nitschke Field was not. We were on
- 27:18Speaker 2: the other side where the Don Hudson, in front of
- 27:22Speaker 2: the Hudson Center, Clark Hinkle Field. And I'm walking across
- 27:25Speaker 2: the street, and I found myself next to Ron Wolf.
- 27:28Speaker 2: And being the cub reporter and the intrepid inquiring mind
- 27:30Speaker 2: that I am, I asked Ron Wolf. I said, I
- 27:33Speaker 2: discovered a couple of arena league games. I'm like, hey, Ron,
- 27:36Speaker 2: are you guys going to scout the arena league at all?
- 27:38Speaker 2: You're going to like find, you know, maybe find some place.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Nice thought, young man. But no, we're not stupid to that.
- 27:43Speaker 2: We're not going to look at the arena league. We're not.
- 27:46Speaker 1: No, no.
- 27:46Speaker 2: He's like, nice thought, young man. Good question. That's adorable.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Thanks for the question. That's very adorable. But no, we
- 27:54Speaker 2: have our own scouting department. We'll find our players, but
- 27:56Speaker 2: we won't be looking at you. And lo and behold,
- 27:59Speaker 2: later on, they did use that as a bit of
- 28:01Speaker 2: a farm system. And they were, yeah. In its earliest days, though,
- 28:05Speaker 2: Ron Wolf was not interested. He said, yeah, that's adorable.
- 28:09Speaker 2: We will not be doing that. He basically patted me
- 28:11Speaker 2: on my head and sent me along on my way.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Good thought, champ. Yeah, good thought. Good hustle, kid. You know,
- 28:17Speaker 2: when you got a real question. That is so good.
- 28:20Speaker 2: It's so funny.
- 28:20Speaker 4: I'm telling you, man, it had a nice little run
- 28:24Speaker 4: there of like two or three years. And then, like
- 28:26Speaker 4: all these other great leagues, go bankrupt and can't pay
- 28:29Speaker 4: the players, can't pay the salaries, what have you.
- 28:31Speaker 2: It just shows, man, how dominant the NFL is.
- 28:34Speaker 4: I got called and asked to do a hit before
- 28:38Speaker 4: the Thursday night game in Canada. And they're talking about
- 28:41Speaker 4: the CFL and they're kind of roasting the other American
- 28:44Speaker 4: football leagues. And I'm like, well, yeah, people bet on
- 28:47Speaker 4: your league more than they're going to bet on the UFL.
- 28:50Speaker 4: That one actually has real teams and organizations and funding.
- 28:53Speaker 4: They can't find that here. But when you got Jon
- 28:57Speaker 4: Bon Jovi sitting in the Wells Fargo Arena, giving some
- 29:00Speaker 4: waves to the Philadelphia crowd.
- 29:02Speaker 2: That thing had a little bit of juice. And a
- 29:04Speaker 2: video game, too.
- 29:06Speaker 4: That's when you knew you had a real chance when
- 29:10Speaker 4: EA Sports said, you are in the game.
- 29:12Speaker 5: And a cool ball, right? A multicolored ball. I think
- 29:15Speaker 5: that is a big factor. It wasn't a multicolored.
- 29:17Speaker 2: Yeah, but it wasn't as cool as the XFLs.
- 29:22Speaker 4: I got to push back on you on that one
- 29:23Speaker 4: because it was like a weird tan look.
- 29:25Speaker 5: But you could get, you could keep it. That was
- 29:27Speaker 5: the big thing, right? You could keep it in the crowd.
- 29:29Speaker 2: That's true.
- 29:30Speaker 5: It was a big deal to catch a souvenir. And
- 29:33Speaker 5: like guys would be, you know, just getting slammed into
- 29:35Speaker 5: the pads and stuff.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a good time. That in the laundry link,
- 29:39Speaker 2: the legends league that became, by the way, the, the,
- 29:42Speaker 2: the best part of covering the Mustangs. Well, it was
- 29:45Speaker 2: two good parts of it there. The games were like
- 29:47Speaker 2: impossible to cover. Cause like color scheme, you'd be keeping
- 29:49Speaker 2: track of what was happening in the first half. Like
- 29:51Speaker 2: it mattered. And the scores were like 60 to 45
- 29:54Speaker 2: or something. Nothing mattered in the first half. So it
- 29:56Speaker 2: was like, that was eyeopening. So just, You literally didn't
- 29:59Speaker 2: have to start paying attention until the back half of
- 30:01Speaker 2: the game. But there were some attractive cheerleaders who were
- 30:05Speaker 2: in my age bracket at that time. That's usually a draw.
- 30:08Speaker 2: And the coach of the inaugural coach for the Mustangs
- 30:12Speaker 2: was Lou Saban. Legendary football man, Lou Saban. Holy cats.
- 30:16Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. Yeah. That is wild.
- 30:19Speaker 5: At the time, you don't know, though, right, what it's
- 30:22Speaker 5: going to be. I mean, you're doing the name, obviously.
- 30:24Speaker 2: But like. Yeah, so Lou Saban was the coach of
- 30:27Speaker 2: the first year of the Mustangs. Anyway, yeah, the Arena League,
- 30:30Speaker 2: Jon Bon Jovi. Philadelphia, so bringing it all back home.
- 30:33Speaker 2: That was a great pull on that part, Drew. That
- 30:36Speaker 2: was phenomenally well done.
- 30:37Speaker 4: And I'm glad you did have something good, too, for
- 30:40Speaker 4: Wake and Bake as well because I was watching and
- 30:42Speaker 4: could not stop watching this incredible AI video of the
- 30:46Speaker 4: Sopranos playing soccer. just outside of bada bing. It's remarkable
- 30:53Speaker 4: what AI is doing right now. I know Brewers fans
- 30:56Speaker 4: are seeing a lot of the, all the Bob Euchre
- 30:59Speaker 4: calls that Armin was watching as I walked in earlier
- 31:02Speaker 4: on here today.
- 31:03Speaker 5: But the thing is though, I've been expecting more like
- 31:06Speaker 5: AI Bob calls the last out.
- 31:09Speaker 2: I haven't really... Oh, the acoustic version. I don't want that.
- 31:12Speaker 2: I have not seen... Oh, listen to this. She's setting
- 31:15Speaker 2: the mood here at 4.30. Come on now.
- 31:17Speaker 5: I did not mean to get the acoustic strings version.
- 31:21Speaker 5: Sorry about that, everybody. No, I have not seen as much...
- 31:26Speaker 5: I have not seen as much of the AI Bob
- 31:28Speaker 5: as I thought I would, which is probably a good thing.
- 31:30Speaker 5: I like to hustle people trying to.
- 31:32Speaker 2: Probably.
- 31:33Speaker 5: I like to hustle people trying to attach old Euchre
- 31:36Speaker 5: calls to the current highlights and But then we.
- 31:39Speaker 4: Went through a Bob. It's better when they don't put
- 31:41Speaker 4: Dwayne Mosley in there.
- 31:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:43Speaker 5: I mean, the amount of people that still think that Dwayne,
- 31:46Speaker 5: that he called the last out and not Dwayne Mosley.
- 31:48Speaker 5: It's tough. I, I'm making my life's mission to correct
- 31:51Speaker 5: everyone in the internet and the comments.
- 31:52Speaker 2: Like actually that was Dwayne Mosley on just that. Well, no, no.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Many other things, but that's one of them.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Many.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Other ones, Billy, that.
- 32:02Speaker 5: Hey, did you guys know that if the Brewers played Cleveland,
- 32:05Speaker 5: it would be the Major League Series?
- 32:06Speaker 2: It'd be the Harry Doyle special. I mean, how many
- 32:08Speaker 2: times have you heard that now? Or the insurance series.
- 32:12Speaker 2: How many YouTube shorts pop up? With Progressive Against American Family.
- 32:16Speaker 2: You know, actually, that's a good one. Major League was
- 32:19Speaker 2: filmed at Milwaukee County Stadium. That's right. Yeah, we knew that.
- 32:23Speaker 2: My goodness. A bunch of amateurs. All right, when we
- 32:25Speaker 2: come back, I think we've covered a bunch of bases,
- 32:27Speaker 2: but when we come back, Our pal Hunter Baumgart is
- 32:30Speaker 2: going to drop on in because he's hosting the show
- 32:32Speaker 2: behind this one today. And he'll be talking baseball. That's
- 32:36Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. That's who people want to hear from.
- 32:38Speaker 2: That's who people want to hear. Hunter Baumgart is going
- 32:40Speaker 2: to drop in next. You are in the huddle, Fox
- 32:42Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew Billion-Armond on this Monday in the
- 32:57Speaker 2: good land. We are about to slide down the back
- 33:01Speaker 2: of the dinosaur. Our day is ending. Hunter Baumgart is
- 33:04Speaker 2: here with us. He's going to take over the airwaves
- 33:06Speaker 2: and interwebs beginning at 5 o'clock. I'm just excited to
- 33:10Speaker 2: listen on my drive home.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Hi, Hunter.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Oh, thank you guys. Good to be on with you.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Good to see you. You've been traveling. The jet center,
- 33:18Speaker 2: Hunter Baumgard. It's like I need an appointment to find
- 33:20Speaker 2: Hunter these days because he's out and about covering ball.
- 33:23Speaker 5: By the way, Hunter's also a part-time travel agent if
- 33:26Speaker 5: anyone's interested.
- 33:27Speaker 2: That's right. He's been looking through websites and flight sites
- 33:31Speaker 2: and Here Hunter is like, you've been covering the birds
- 33:34Speaker 2: for a couple of years and you're already going to
- 33:35Speaker 2: the world series. You know, didn't have to wait 30 years.
- 33:38Speaker 3: For it to happen. I, yes, you and all of
- 33:41Speaker 3: those who have covered the team for a long time
- 33:43Speaker 3: were on my mind. I said to Todd Rosiak, cause
- 33:45Speaker 3: we left the press box that night. I said, that's
- 33:47Speaker 3: who I'm happy for. Obviously it's going to be a
- 33:49Speaker 3: really cool experience, but I'm happy for those who have
- 33:52Speaker 3: invested so much time, whether it be covering the team
- 33:54Speaker 3: or obviously, uh, Fans as well who've waited so.
- 33:57Speaker 2: Long for this. I always think when people say, do
- 33:59Speaker 2: you root for the Brewers? Wins and losses, not for me.
- 34:03Speaker 2: but my friends like Tony Miliaccio and Phil Roswitz and
- 34:07Speaker 2: those guys, Tom Flanagan, the guys who are lifers, man. Yeah.
- 34:10Speaker 2: I just, I'm happy to see them enjoy this. Mike Vassallo,
- 34:14Speaker 2: Andrew Grumman. Dapping up everybody right away.
- 34:16Speaker 4: When I saw him jump up to the top step
- 34:18Speaker 4: of the dugout, that was a cool moment.
- 34:19Speaker 2: And you know, not for nothing, those guys, it's a
- 34:22Speaker 2: nice little salary bump. That world series share that they're
- 34:24Speaker 2: going to get is a, it's a pretty life-changing event. I,
- 34:28Speaker 2: that's what I hear. Yeah. So not for us. And
- 34:32Speaker 2: I talked to Rosiak and he's here. Rosiak's come into
- 34:35Speaker 2: the harsh realization that he's working like his arse off
- 34:39Speaker 2: as his hunter. And then on the first and 15th,
- 34:41Speaker 2: there's nothing extra.
- 34:44Speaker 1: Thanks.
- 34:45Speaker 2: Thanks a lot. You ground yourself to a pulp and you, uh,
- 34:48Speaker 2: you probably took a year off your life, but thanks
- 34:50Speaker 2: for it.
- 34:51Speaker 3: And you know, appreciate it.
- 34:52Speaker 2: What do you got for us now? Experience. Yeah, but
- 34:54Speaker 2: it's worth it. That's why you grab a couple of
- 34:56Speaker 2: those free soaps on the road. It's all worth it. Yeah,
- 34:58Speaker 2: that's right. That's right. All right. So, Hunter, it's game six.
- 35:03Speaker 2: I've been I've had a lot of people ask me,
- 35:05Speaker 2: who do you think the Brewers want to face? I said,
- 35:06Speaker 2: I don't think they care. Is that the vibe you got?
- 35:09Speaker 3: That's what Ryan Braun said on one of his TV interviews.
- 35:11Speaker 3: Like he was exactly right. Like they, they don't. And, and,
- 35:15Speaker 3: and I, I think they're the better team. Whoever comes
- 35:18Speaker 3: out of the AL, if you can sweep the Dodgers,
- 35:20Speaker 3: I think you can sweep anybody at this point. But I,
- 35:22Speaker 3: I also think that like the rays are better. I
- 35:25Speaker 3: think that the guardians as a whole, I think they're
- 35:26Speaker 3: a better team. I think they have more talent. I
- 35:28Speaker 3: think they're, probably more equipped to beat the brewers and
- 35:30Speaker 3: they play a similar brand. I was watching the game
- 35:32Speaker 3: last night and like, Oh yeah, I could see the
- 35:34Speaker 3: brewers in the rays a little bit in these different parts,
- 35:36Speaker 3: but they're, they're a little less, you look at the numbers,
- 35:38Speaker 3: especially in the post season and like every, the brewers
- 35:42Speaker 3: are first and pretty much everything, especially offensively. And then
- 35:44Speaker 3: the rays are more middle of the pack. So I it's,
- 35:48Speaker 3: they are the brewers, but I don't think they're as
- 35:50Speaker 3: good of a version of the brewers. And so, The Brewers,
- 35:53Speaker 3: no matter who they face, should be able to win.
- 35:55Speaker 2: I struggle to think that the Rays or the Guardians
- 35:58Speaker 2: are better than not only the Dodgers, but the Padres.
- 36:00Speaker 2: The Brewers have beaten two tougher teams to get here.
- 36:03Speaker 2: And again, you can't take anything for granted. And the
- 36:06Speaker 2: layoff is, you worry about the layoff, even though they've
- 36:08Speaker 2: been through this before. But we'll see. And how sharp
- 36:12Speaker 2: is Miz? That's the one thing.
- 36:14Speaker 4: The thing that would scare me about the Rays is
- 36:16Speaker 4: they probably have, I wouldn't say probably, they have the
- 36:19Speaker 4: guy that's pitching the best. So you're going to face
- 36:21Speaker 4: Rasmussen at least twice if you go and see five games.
- 36:25Speaker 4: You thought you were going to see Scooble at least twice.
- 36:27Speaker 4: Williams has been no joke either. But the one thing
- 36:33Speaker 4: about Cleveland is they'll have a little team of destiny
- 36:36Speaker 4: feel to them if they get through this. Although it
- 36:39Speaker 4: is Cleveland, right? So they can have a team of
- 36:42Speaker 4: destiny feel. You think you're the lovable losers and are cursed.
- 36:45Speaker 4: Then live by the mistake on the lake there for
- 36:47Speaker 4: a while. And then you really realize that you got
- 36:49Speaker 4: some problems. So I also, I don't believe that they
- 36:53Speaker 4: should worry about it. I think the fans should definitely
- 36:55Speaker 4: be cheering for it to be the race because it
- 36:57Speaker 4: appears that like right now, if it is Tampa, I mean,
- 37:02Speaker 4: that place is going to be am fam South because
- 37:05Speaker 4: there's going to, it's going to be the easiest ticket
- 37:07Speaker 4: to get possible to get down there and possibly back
- 37:12Speaker 4: for less than it would be to go to game
- 37:14Speaker 4: one or two right here.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Well, it's also interesting.
- 37:17Speaker 5: With Cleveland, you know, you had both, you know, another
- 37:20Speaker 5: manager kind of in the same vein of, You know,
- 37:23Speaker 5: during that offseason, both won manager of the year.
- 37:26Speaker 2: That'll be an interesting chess match as well, Hunter. It's
- 37:29Speaker 2: hard to remember. I remember the first series when the
- 37:31Speaker 2: Brewers dog walked the White Sox to open the season
- 37:34Speaker 2: at Amphin Field. The Rays came in next. Yeah. They
- 37:37Speaker 2: won a game 3-2, and then they lost on the
- 37:39Speaker 2: way out of town 6-2 and 8-2. Yes. I remember
- 37:44Speaker 2: next to nothing about those games.
- 37:45Speaker 4: I remember being at one of the games that we
- 37:49Speaker 4: were at, Armin. And that was the one, I believe
- 37:52Speaker 4: that was when Armin Sarian popped up the sign that
- 37:55Speaker 4: he was going to put up that we were going
- 37:56Speaker 4: to go 13-0 to start the season.
- 37:58Speaker 2: Oh, wow, that's right. With the Milwaukee Admirals. And we
- 38:01Speaker 2: lost that game. And we lost. That's right, because that
- 38:04Speaker 2: was our first loss of the season then.
- 38:06Speaker 3: It was 3-2 was the only loss, as.
- 38:08Speaker 2: You said, Drew. Yeah, 3-2 was the first game, the
- 38:11Speaker 2: opener of that series.
- 38:12Speaker 3: Oh, McGill took the loss, so that was.
- 38:15Speaker 2: So maybe I shouldn't go.
- 38:15Speaker 3: So that was when, obviously, McGill was not having a
- 38:18Speaker 3: great start to the season, as we know. And then
- 38:20Speaker 3: he completely turned it around. But yeah, so they took
- 38:22Speaker 3: two or three from Tampa. And then they took two
- 38:24Speaker 3: or three from the Guardians in the middle of June.
- 38:26Speaker 3: 2-1 victory and 9-4 victory. And then they lost 4-2
- 38:30Speaker 3: in the finale. If you would have told me that
- 38:32Speaker 3: these two would be the two teams playing for the
- 38:34Speaker 3: AL title at those times the Brewers played them, I
- 38:37Speaker 3: probably would have went, eh. I'm not so sure about that.
- 38:39Speaker 5: Well, the thing is, Hunter, that's a good point because
- 38:41Speaker 5: it's kind of capped off an interestingly unusual year for
- 38:44Speaker 5: the AL.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 38:45Speaker 5: Weaker across the board. Cleveland was in that battle all
- 38:48Speaker 5: the way through with the White Sox. They were in
- 38:50Speaker 5: second most of the year. But then again, the Rays
- 38:52Speaker 5: had been kind of the best team with the Yankees
- 38:54Speaker 5: all year.
- 38:55Speaker 2: You guys, that's my picture. That's me. Yeah, I blew
- 38:57Speaker 2: it there.
- 38:58Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're watching.
- 38:59Speaker 2: 162-0. Hey, but you know what? We can win the
- 39:01Speaker 2: World Series.
- 39:03Speaker 3: So then it'll work.
- 39:04Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to. Come on, there's some things. It
- 39:06Speaker 2: would work.
- 39:06Speaker 5: I think if I remember right, I was going to
- 39:08Speaker 5: leave early, Billy. So I wanted that picture just in case.
- 39:12Speaker 5: That was exactly what it was. Yes, it was exactly
- 39:15Speaker 5: what it was.
- 39:15Speaker 4: You said, I'm going to do this because we're going
- 39:17Speaker 4: to win. There's also a video that goes along with
- 39:20Speaker 4: it that I probably won't post.
- 39:23Speaker 2: Did I swear or something? I don't remember. But I
- 39:25Speaker 2: definitely will AI in their World Series. champs.
- 39:30Speaker 4: And then if they lose, then you will definitely.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Be the jinx for it. What if we win? Then
- 39:34Speaker 2: I'll be the man. Then you'll be the man. Hey,
- 39:36Speaker 2: he'll be the absolute man. See, that's a good thing
- 39:39Speaker 2: that can happen on the other side. Hunter's the man.
- 39:41Speaker 2: He'll be having a full hour next. Drew, I don't know.
- 39:43Speaker 2: Did you have something there? I was just going to say,
- 39:45Speaker 2: I'm looking at this box score and the play-by-play from
- 39:47Speaker 2: that game. Angel Zerpa pitched in that game. Let's go.
- 39:51Speaker 1: All right.
- 39:52Speaker 2: And McGill did give it up. McGill came in in
- 39:53Speaker 2: a tie game, 2-2, as you do with the closer.
- 39:57Speaker 2: He got Caminero out on the ground. He struck out
- 40:00Speaker 2: Ben Williamson. He walked Johnny DeLuca. And then Nick Fortes
- 40:04Speaker 2: got a RBI double to knock in what was the
- 40:07Speaker 2: winning run. And Ian Seymour shut down the Brewers.
- 40:09Speaker 3: Can any of you name the cleanup hitter for the
- 40:11Speaker 3: Milwaukee Brewers on that night? Fourth game of the season.
- 40:14Speaker 3: Cleanup hitter.
- 40:15Speaker 2: These are all the guys that are going to get rings.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Luis Renjifo.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Renjifo.
- 40:19Speaker 3: Cleanup hitter for your Milwaukee Brewers.
- 40:21Speaker 2: Why was he fourth?
- 40:23Speaker 3: He was fourth. Bowers was fifth. We didn't know it
- 40:26Speaker 3: was the year of Jake Bowers quite yet, although people
- 40:28Speaker 3: were saying in the spring.
- 40:29Speaker 2: The Brewers did play them, and Tampa did visit Milwaukee.
- 40:33Speaker 2: It seems like a million years ago, but that was
- 40:34Speaker 2: like March, April, and the Brewers won two out of three.
- 40:37Speaker 5: You think they're going to wear the Devil Rays? They've
- 40:39Speaker 5: been leaning into wearing the old Devil Rays throwbacks a lot.
- 40:42Speaker 2: They should. They're way better than the jerseys they have now.
- 40:44Speaker 3: Imagine telling someone three years ago that, hey, in three years,
- 40:47Speaker 3: Freddy Peralta is going to be pitching for the Rays
- 40:48Speaker 3: to try to send his team to the World Series
- 40:50Speaker 3: to face the Milwaukee Brewers.
- 40:52Speaker 2: Freddy Peralta is going to pitch a World Series game
- 40:54Speaker 2: at AmFam Field for a different team. That too. I
- 40:56Speaker 2: wouldn't have taken that back.
- 40:58Speaker 3: He'll be ready.
- 40:59Speaker 2: Well, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Probably three. He'll pitch Sunday.
- 41:05Speaker 2: It could be Sunday. That would be the off day.
- 41:07Speaker 2: He'll pitch in Tampa. Unless it goes seven. Yes, true.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Then Freddie could pitch game seven if it goes seven.
- 41:15Speaker 5: Finally, Freddie pitching game seven for a World Series at
- 41:17Speaker 5: the stadium in American Family Field.
- 41:20Speaker 2: So the Brewers are going to be rested. The whole
- 41:21Speaker 2: rest versus rest, they've been through this before. It hasn't
- 41:24Speaker 2: affected them.
- 41:25Speaker 3: I mean, this is a longer one. This is a
- 41:26Speaker 3: longer one than they've had since spring training.
- 41:28Speaker 2: This is longer. It's a full week. This is longer. Now,
- 41:29Speaker 2: if Cleveland steals one tonight and they have to play
- 41:32Speaker 2: another game, then you're looking at the team that wins
- 41:35Speaker 2: going to party their asses off and then have to
- 41:37Speaker 2: fly and get here for the workout the next day. Yeah.
- 41:40Speaker 3: So I, I say, if you're a Burr fan, you're
- 41:42Speaker 3: cheering for Cleveland tonight.
- 41:43Speaker 2: When is the, uh, there was an awesome video. Kurt
- 41:47Speaker 2: Hogue had it.
- 41:47Speaker 4: And I know you guys all, you talked to everybody
- 41:49Speaker 4: after the game. When are we thinking we're here in
- 41:52Speaker 4: this potential news on how the simulated game went for
- 41:55Speaker 4: Brandon Woodruff? I, as soon as someone is able to
- 41:58Speaker 4: make contact with someone over at the ballpark, I it's crazy. I.
- 42:03Speaker 3: There's a chance. There's a chance.
- 42:05Speaker 2: And if the chance. There's a chance.
- 42:07Speaker 4: And if there is a chance, he better be on
- 42:10Speaker 4: the bumping game too.
- 42:12Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah, you can't let this man do all this work.
- 42:16Speaker 2: To not pitch at home. I think to relieve, though, right?
- 42:21Speaker 3: I think the bigger question is where are you putting him?
- 42:23Speaker 4: Back end of the game? We're in more high leverage? No,
- 42:26Speaker 4: like fifth inning.
- 42:27Speaker 3: We're going to talk about this on the show.
- 42:28Speaker 2: That's right. You're going to hear B.A. on the call tonight.
- 42:30Speaker 2: I'll be settled in watching it. See who the Brewers
- 42:32Speaker 2: are going to play, potentially. Hunter's got the next hour
- 42:35Speaker 2: for you. It's going to be fun. Thanks for dropping in, Hunter.
- 42:38Speaker 2: You bet.
- 42:39Speaker 3: Thank you, guys.
- 42:39Speaker 2: We'll see you guys tomorrow at 2.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Peace.
