  Speaker 1: Let's get the party started. Let's get the Labor Day
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: weekend started. Let's get the huddle started. Welcome in, 5
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: o'clock clubbers. We love you, even though you might be
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: an early riser, insomniac, or a sociopath. Maybe why we
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: love you. Brisk crowd at the quick trip that I
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: visited to grab us some dunkers.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Come on now.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: To sustain us going into. Went with blueberry just because,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: why not?
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, those are fantastic. Blueberry dunkers, first
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: of all.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Top of my power rankings.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Second of all, thank you for going. And third of all,
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not surprised it was packed. Everyone's ready to.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Party on a Friday.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty brisk business, including one of our
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee County sheriffs.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Hey, there we go. Stopping in to get himself lathered up,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: ready to roll.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: They got a few up, too. They do.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? They do. Saw a couple
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: of cops last week.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: A couple of cops are cops? Cops are cops.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Right, exactly.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: How about that? How about that? How's that happen?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: My dad thought that was hilarious.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: The walking dad joke. We are spinning into Labor Day weekend.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: We won't be in on Monday. A lot of folks
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: off on Monday. It's going to be a blast. Laboring
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: like nobody's business. We've got Brewers Reds over the weekend.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Brewers Cubs is over. We're going to go through some withdrawals.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: And last night's game felt like a playoff game. That's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: what playoff games often look like.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Two to one.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Their guy pitched a little bit better. They hit the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: home run with.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: A guy on base. Yeah, you didn't find that basket
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: in straightaway center field.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: That's the only thing.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: The little basket, all you need is somebody to reach
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: on out there, Drew, and pull that thing on over.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Close moments, though.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Dang, Cheerio was close.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Four days ago, Brewers go in there with an eight-game lead.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: They play four games and come out with an eight-game lead.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I think there was a smart host who said, this
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: is probably going to be a split. Most four-game series,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of them are splits. And it's where we are,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and the Brewers held serve. It was fine. It would
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: have been nice to win last night, put a stamp
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: on things. But you just tip your cap and move on.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Gosman pitched... Slightly better than Henderson. They were both spectacular.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: The game was two hours and 12, 14 minutes.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: It was a beautiful game. I got to watch it all. Yeah,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and Drew, as you mentioned, that's a playoff game. You're
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: going to play games like that. Absolutely. If you fall
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: that way, no harm, no foul. Get them the next day,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and luckily you'll get them again coming up on Monday.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: But Gosman and Holmes, if you really dig into what happened,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I guess, in these two games, they're two guys that
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: they had to pick up at the deadline, both shoved.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and helped win their two games. And you got to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: save yourself in a Mizorowski start that was then worst
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: one of the year. And then came back up off
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the mat after giving up 17. So I think both
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: teams can feel good coming out of it. And then
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: as we said now, if you win one in the
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: next three, awesome. If not, I still don't believe it's
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: much of a big deal because it would be five
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and what, 14 days to go? It's just not enough time. Yeah,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the division's over. It's not a big deal.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: But that part of it, is you would have liked
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: to get a win to further kind of push the
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Cubs down and see what you can do to get
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: them to struggle for their home.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Wild card situation. Well, yeah, just to suck the life
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: out of them going into next week, which the Brewers
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: kind of already did.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but right in the midst of doing it, yes,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: no doubt. Division is, like we said, it's over. Eight
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: games with 21 to play. And, yeah, you got the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: three head-to-heads, but. I've seen Logan succeed. The math is
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the math.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Seeing Logan pitch well, I think, is a success, even
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: though he didn't get the win, obviously.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: He was terrific.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he gave up one to PCA, who got it
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: off the dirt. That was an incredible PCA.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, that wasn't even a strike. Yeah, that's a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: hat-tipper right there. Change up out of the zone, he
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: golfed it out.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: But that's it.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: It's the MVP, man. You got the mojo going.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Cubs didn't even get a hit after the fourth, so
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: you have to feel good about his start and how
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: he performed, considering.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no shame in that loss. There's nothing to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: ruminate over. It's like, yeah, well, their guy pitched great, too, and.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You didn't do anything. You scored one run and they
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: scored two. So just tip your cap and move on.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: It was one of those games.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: The only reason why you would have wanted to win
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: it more was the stuff that was happening with the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: other pro athletes in the game. I really didn't care
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: much in the midst of Brewers and Cubs. I think
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: that matchup's done. You definitely wanted to beat it to
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: smack Oshkosh and North's own back over to their home border.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Tyrese Halliburton. As apparently Tyrese Halliburton trying to bridge the gap,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: mend the fences, put a bridge up, because maybe Quetel
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Marte burned it down. But it's lighting the way for
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: them to go from Chicago to Hammond, Indiana. And then
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: as you see the first picks of Caleb Wilson and
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Caleb Williams right behind the Cubs dugout, that would have
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: been nice for them to see what happens when all
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: of a sudden the Brewers string together.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Four hits in the ninth inning. But it is what
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: It'll be okay because they still had to look at that–
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: standings board this morning.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: It is what it is. Absolutely. Reach out to us. 877-794-1973.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Just check in. Heading into Labor Day weekend. It hits
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: different since school's already started. It's Labor Day. This is
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: like a late Labor Day.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It's late, man. Yeah, it feels late.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: That's for sure. It does feel late. It's on the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: back end. Technically can be. Yeah, it's on the back
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: end of the first week of September here.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: But the weather still gives you that summer memory. We're
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: on to September.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: We got Badgers on Sunday night at Lambeau.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Cannot wait. Cannot wait for college football. That'll be so fun.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: We had a couple of games last night, college football.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and listen, all he's going to say is he's back.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: All I'm going to say is I'm back as Deion Sanders'
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Buffaloes roll down and beat up the rambling wreck and
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: survive a wild one in Atlanta. They score a touchdown
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: late to take the lead and then block a field
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: goal to win the thing. The call was phenomenal on
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the Colorado Buffaloes radio network that I heard coming in.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I got to hear that. It was an electrifying game. But, man,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Deion Sanders, he's still got the juice. Georgia Tech hadn't
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: sold out a home opener in 20 years.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Surprisingly, they do last night.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Surprisingly, they do last night.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Of course, he brings the juice still. Deion brings the juice,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: and they did it. That's hard to believe they haven't
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: sold one on that long, but then again, may haven't
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: been spectacular. Yeah, but they did, and they couldn't get
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: the win because Deion had his buffs ready. I read
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: that he talked to his guy at halftime and fired
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: him up and said, this is your time. And they
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: went out and got it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of people that are making a
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: lot of noise on the strength coach for Colorado.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Her speeches to.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: The team were garnering quite a bit of attention coming in.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, Deion says the tagline of the
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: year and gets them rolling. But the craziest one was, man,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: UMass hadn't been relevant since John Calipari roaming the basketball sidelines.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: roll up, and they're up 27-7 on Rutgers. Rutgers had
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: a whole fireworks display set up. They got drummed. But
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: they still had to fire off the cannons because, hey, man,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: we paid all this money, Drew. We got to spend it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: All these folks are walking out of Piscataway sad, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: they got a heck of a watch and a heck
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: of an eye to see in the sky as they
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: walked out to their cars.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, realizing you don't blow the cannons off when the
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Minutemen are coming to town. And Paul Revere was on
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: his horse last night letting everyone know. Paul Revere riding
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: the horse around town.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Good start for the Big Ten.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: UMass is back. UMass is back. And UMass was playing
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: better Big Ten football. Then Rutgers. They downed the punt
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: at the one.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: This is a terrible loss for the Big Ten. Well,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I actually don't know. Maybe UMass is going to be
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: awesome this year.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: No, it's terrible.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: No, that is a terrible loss. It's the definition of
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a terrible loss.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: It's the definition.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: It gives you 24 hours to make a Revolutionary War
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: joke if you won.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: That's off and running. Was the drama in the Colorado-Georgia
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Tech game, which is the lead story on ESPN.com at
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the moment.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: It's the lead because they don't want to talk about it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Was that more exciting?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't want to talk about it. Was that
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: more exciting than the courtroom drama of a nine-hour hearing
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: yesterday in Louisiana?
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Let them play.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the courtroom everyone was watching yesterday.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Not the other one. Yeah. Well, and there were three
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: or four different judgments that went down yesterday. And then
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the SEC decided they were going to be suing the school.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: LSU and Lane Kiffin, the acting head coach. And they're like,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you sue you. Sue me?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Sue me? I'm suing you. So we now get litigation throughout.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: And these guys are going to be able to suit
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: up because at the end of the day, the NCAA
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: loses in court. That's just how that ends up playing out.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: They always lose in court. And the thought that maybe
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the governing agency conferences would be able to put in
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: some actual legislation and have some own, their own backing
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: because they can make their own rules. And yeah, you
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: might not be able to play in our league. You
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: can play in all these other ones. Go, go talk to,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: The folks in the Ohio Valley, they might be interested
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: in it. Missouri Valley Conference fires up with a lot
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: of good teams in FCS. Maybe you could go play
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: over there. They're going to be in the midst of
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: this drama. The best thing is, these are good players.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: They're not going to be the reason why or why
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: not LSU would be one of the best teams in
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: college football. But if it's Lane Kiffin and I can
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: be in the midst of the news cycle, You know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I'm going to try, you know, Lane given is going
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: to do anything and everything he can to try to
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: get himself right back into the top priority in the
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: top news cycle.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: When they say it just means more in the sec.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I think this is what they mean. State courts, state
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: governments getting involved. I saw the Georgia AG involved saying
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: to say, you know, throw them out of the sec.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Like they know what butters their bread down in the,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: down in the South.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Like Louisiana said, uh, these boys are supposed to give up.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Seven-figured working deal? Yeah.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: You can work in Louisiana. You can work in Louisiana.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: You can come work in Louisiana. We don't tell you
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: you can't work in this state. And the way that.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, Billy, you got a contact right up,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: right all the way up in the government in Louisiana.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: You get the cell phone.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Who is it? The, uh, the deputy, the lieutenant governor.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You got a cell phone text.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Cause this is the biggest. Well, yeah, that's right.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: When they say it means more, this is what they mean.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Like, this is the biggest issue for any politician in, uh,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: in the South is like, you gotta, you gotta.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Really messed up by not taking that guy up on,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Our Mardi Gras invite that we got.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, we did.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: We had all kinds of.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: When we were down there for the Super Bowl, Drew,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: the lieutenant governor, he gave us all these cool... What
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: were those things called?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Challenge coins. Challenge coins.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty cool things. My dad was very excited about it.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: But also handed us his phone number and said, you
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: boys won't come down here in Louisiana. You can come
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: down here in Louisiana during Mardi Gras. I'm going to
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: take care of you. You got to do your radio show.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: You got to do the radio show right there. We're
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: going to give you one of the floats. One of
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: the floats. They got a float. They got internet right there.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: We're going to do the show right there. We're going
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: to rub it down. You'll never have more fun than
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: you do in Louisiana. Never have more fun than you will.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Mardi Gras, Louisiana. You got to come down, what, Monday through,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Monday through. That was great.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Love it. It was really fun.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: When he had those Louisiana State Police with him.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. Those guys had the Chinese shoes. I
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: don't know that those troopers had a carb in three years. Oh,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: my goodness, man. Those guys were pretty impressive. But that
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: humidity and you're walking around with that kind of gear on.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: That crisp.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: My goodness.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: The brim of the hat was tight.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: The shoe was.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: But the thing is, yeah, I mean, it just means
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: more down there. And that's what means you get courtroom
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: late into the night to see if these guys can
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: play it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: You're right, Billy.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: If Lane Kiffin has a chance to be in the
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: middle of all the chaos, he loves that moment, right?
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: And let's be honest, it creates a fun backdrop for
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: this Clemson. Doesn't it give you a little more rooting
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: interest one way or the other if you do or
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: don't like Lane Kiffin or if you do or don't
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: like what's going on at LSU?
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I just think it does.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, for sure.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, Clemson has picked up 49 states worth of fans,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: 48 states worth of fans. I'd say even some of
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: theirs because I know that's cock country. pause down there
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: in South Carolina. And I don't necessarily know that they
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: love the tigers down there, but I think they've picked
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: up support by every single fan base around. When Dabo
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: is telling people that it's just embarrassing. We have no rules.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: We have no governance. It's a joke.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: That's not new. That's been happening.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: But when you put the backdrop of this young man,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Dequan Wright being in a Cleveland Browns Jersey. the one
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: visual that won't be able to get out of people's
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: heads will be the one that continues to be hammered
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: home throughout this. And much like courtroom proceedings that we're
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: seeing play out in football, professional and college here, this
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: isn't going to go away. This isn't going to go
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: away at all. More than anything, I think this plays
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: itself out, Drew, with the stays and all of the
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: different restraining orders, probably until LSU is 10 and 1. 11-1, 10-2,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: right there on the cut line of the college football playoff.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: And then the SEC is going to have to make
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: a decision. Do they want to back them to try
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: to get them into the college football playoff? Or do
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: they stain and embarrass us all year long? So the
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: rift is only starting. And I'm excited to see this
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: paper to shit shredded all year long. Yeah, Greg Sankey, man.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Your ass is in the jackpot. But the thing is,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: it is funny to see the culture war play out
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: for college sports and the way people feel about it because.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: It's.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Literally right there, you know, Dabo and Lane. It's like
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: the exact opposites, and they're playing this weekend. So, you know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: definitely they're going to be eyes on that game now
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: because of it. So it is interesting. And for those
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: who are upset about it, like it's a mockery of
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: college sports, it's been going this way. You can blame
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: the NCAA, in my opinion, for creating this beast by
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: not doing anything and then just kind of backing off
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: and saying, oh, well, I guess we'll just let it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Everything is fine while the house is burning behind you
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: like that meme.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Well, in this one in particular, the NCAA could have
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: very much waited in this ruling until November to say
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: that kids in the 2022 class also were eligible to
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: have that run. They could have done it in January
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: right there at the turn of the year, but they
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: did it right before the start of college football to
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: act like that wasn't Drew going to get challenged by people.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Our bad.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: No clue that was going to happen.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah. If you'd have known, I wouldn't have gone
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: to play and try to make an NFL roster and Well.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: God forbid the NCAA get ahead of something, right? I mean, yeah. Idiots, idiots.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: All right, 877-794-1973. How are you feeling about the Brewers
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: in general? Because, you know, Miz's start makes you think
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: they've got to kind of, I don't know, back him
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: off or skip him.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Saw a lot of takes online yesterday about it, Drew.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: A lot of takes about that.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Terang's playing banged up and unproductive and under the radar,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: but he's been batting like 170 since August 1st. Has
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: not been himself.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: He was the hottest hitter in baseball last year in
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: the month of August.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Battling a lot of things. A lot of, you know,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: dings and dents. And Murph's talked about it. Like, would
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: they be better off maybe giving him a day or
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: two off?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: And they have that luxury.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt's still kind of like in the Chateau Bow
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Wow a little bit. Not playing all the time. Defense
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: has been good. But do you have to find a
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: way to give Terang rest? I mean, they're going to
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: be able to rest people if they want, like we said.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: It's interesting now because it's, okay, start looking at magic numbers.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: And when will they clinch? the division when they'll clinch
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: a playoff berth sooner than anything. And then they'll clinch
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the division.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: And then they're still going to be churning for the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: number one seat.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: So I would, I want to start it with terrain
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: because he's the guy that has played the most has
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: been at the plate the most and probably drew on
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: the position side has the most, uh, injury tag right
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: now with what three or four different things. And then negative,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: most importantly, that knee, um, I think you very much should,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: if you feel any bit necessary, give him 10 days, right?
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Give him a 10-day run. Get somebody else up here
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: that can help you out in the interim. Don't sit
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: there and waste away a roster spot for a week
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: when you can shut him down, let him cool down.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: And it's not going to be the same deal as,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, Sal Freelick ended up being out a lot longer,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I think, than some of us anticipated when they shut
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: him down to try to give that shoulder a little
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: bit of calming and a little bit of work. But
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much damage you can be doing
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: day in and day out to whatever the knee issue is.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: You go and get a second opinion. There's something wrong, right?
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: There's something structurally going on in there, but I don't
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: know how much healing you get in a week and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: a half. I definitely know it's more than you're getting
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: right now by going out there playing every single night
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: and when you're playing 16 games in 16 days. So
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I would be down with them trying to find terrain
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: a time to close it down. while still knowing you
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: will be able to get him, what, eight to ten
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: games worth of at-bats in that final week of the
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: season and get him right back to speed.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Even a day or two here or there. I mean,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: just give him a couple days.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Time to rest him and ramp him up. You can
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: do it, and I think that's what he needs.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: That's what they need. That's a concern, but there's other
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: guys like that, as we thought. Churrio woke up out
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of his slumber, and then Yelich is starting to come out,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and Wild Bill. But you need Terang hitting. You need
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: everybody hitting. Bowers is dinged up a little bit, too. Yeah,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: but Terang's one of your spark plugs in the engine.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: He is, for sure.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: If that thing's not firing, you are going to be
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: struggling to go anywhere. Yeah, you definitely need him functioning
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: at a high level.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Isn't he due to get hot, though? That's my regression
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: to the meat.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: He's due to get hot, but it's hard when you're
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: banged up.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Get him healthy. If you're really limping around and stuff,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: it's hard. Yeah.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: And that's the tough part, right? Only he can tell
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: you how dinged up he actually is. Romero's a fresh
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: arm that they've added. Uribe's kind of going to be
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: rejuvenated now because he had his scare and then backed
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: off it.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: And McGill's been lights out. So a lot of things
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: are looking good, but they've got a couple things to
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: tweak to go into the games that really matter. Now,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: this was a fun little playoff preview. It was an
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: appetizer and a moose boosh. Really good taster. Yeah, it
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: was fun. 2-2. Now you've got three games coming up
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: next week. Put them away and win one, and you
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: basically have the tiebreaker. And then it's over, right?
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Then it's completely over, and whenever they end up giving
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: out the T-shirts, it's worth it. But you mentioned a
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: couple of guys in the back end that have performed well. Also,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: don't forget Aaron Ashby was much maligned in the month
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: of June. He was struggling throughout.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: He's killing it. He's in the last six weeks giving
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: up one run.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: One run.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Absolutely killing it.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's given up a little bit of traffic,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: but the ERA is disgusting since the turn to August.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: And if you get all four of those guys pitching
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: that way going into October, take your chances against anybody.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: So the losses for the Brewers were the 17-3 blowout
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: and then a 2-1 where you just tip your cap.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: They could have won three of the four for sure. Oh,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: very much could have.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Nope. They also could probably say that they could have
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: lost a couple.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: For sure, because they were down in games, but it
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: was two gritty comeback wins in the middle. I think
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: they made a little bit of a statement. The statement
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: would have been completed last night. Taking three out of
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: four would have been like, you know.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: So do you think the wind is in the sails?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: You said yesterday was the dagger to the souls of
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Cubs fans coming up here.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: On Labor Day.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I think Cubs fans have been a little bit neutralized
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: because I think they realize.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: They realize a split doesn't do it for them.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: And they're not, yeah. That wasn't it. And they're just
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: kind of like, yeah, we'll just have to work our
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: way through the, you know. Kind of the other side
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: of the bracket. We're going to have to work our
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: way through that first series. Now they've got to start
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: worrying about who they play in the first round. Their
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: bullpen is going to make you nervous.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Even after getting a win, not getting a hit until
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: after the fourth. They only got three hits last night.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: It's not like they were looking spectacular.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Their star got the job done. And the MVP hit
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: a home run.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: They're happy about getting a win that their bullpen held up.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: But I'm sure they're still going to have that pit
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: in their stomach every time they close out a game.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: So, I think that's what it is.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I think it's like they get a win, they get
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: a split, but they have other fish to fry now,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: and unfortunately it's right in front of them like you mentioned, Billy.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: So now what the brewers need to do is figure
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: out a way to turn all this regular season success
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and good vibes into October success. It should be that easy, right?
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: That's the next step. All right, we're off and running.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: It's our holiday edition. Dolph's going to join us in
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: about an hour from right now for halftime of our
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: final show of the week. I want to know, where
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: does Labor Day rank in your power rankings of holidays? Well,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: you know what, Drew? I got take on it.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: We got football.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: We got school back. Do we think about grilling? I
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: know there's some sales in the stores, but where does
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: it rank? It's nice having this three days. We're stocked up. Yeah,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: it's one of those weird ones. It's a gray area.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: We'll discuss the gray tones around Labor Day. Next, you're
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: And he cracks a ball deep to left field. Happ
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: is back, turning around, right on cue. Andrew Vaughn, deep
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: into the bleachers to get Milwaukee on the board. That's
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: the deficit in half here.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: In the fourth.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: There's your offensive highlight from last night's Brewers game.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: That was quick.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Cubs 2, Brewers 1. Game was broadcast on Big Fox.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Adam Amin, did he piss anybody off? Does he hate Milwaukee?
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of folks were just saying that they just
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: didn't seem to know a lot about the Brewers.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if Adam Amin was going to piss you off,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: it was because he's the Bulls announcer, I guess. But
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: more than anything, I appreciated how John Schmoltz was having
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: a Schmoltzgasm back there. My man was loving up that
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: seventh inning. Hold on. Is this actually happening? We've got
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: two starting pitchers going into the seventh inning? You could
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: feel the warmth of his cockles throughout the broadcast.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: It was a unicorn. Seeing Logan Henderson and Gosman go
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: at it in the seventh, you don't usually see that.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: What is this happening again?
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Smoltz is the guy that's taken our ire more recently.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I like Adam. I don't have a problem. He's really,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Smoltz has slid into the chair previously occupied by Joe Morgan.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Morgan had that. He used to say stuff that pissed
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: people off constantly to the point where there was that website,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: that blog, Fire Joe Morgan. Fire Joe Morgan.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Which was really good. At a time.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: And then they started taking on other media people and stuff,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and it was pretty funny. It turned out that... Then
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the guys were... They revealed themselves. They were like TV writers.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Well, they realized there was a market for it. And
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: then they started awful announcing?
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: No.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, that would have been a
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: good start. That would have been a good turn. Turnkey operation,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: some would say.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: There were a lot more fans that were predisposed to
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: dislike TV analysts.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Fire Joe Morgan.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: This was in the early days of the blogosphere and stuff.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: It was Michael Schur... He wrote under the pseudonym Ken Tremendous.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: That's a great nickname.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: That is a good name. He's the co-creator of Parks
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and Rec, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and The Good Place, as well
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: as a writer for The Office. That's the name you
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: give to a hotel. It was hilarious takes. It was
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: really funny stuff.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: There used to be great stuff like that. I mean,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: the early days of Deadspin, page two on ESPN, when
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Simmons was writing. I mean, you know, I don't want
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: to sound old here, Billy. You know how I do it,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: you know, with this stuff. But, yeah, there was some
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: good stuff. This was 20 years ago. Smoltz does get
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: excited when there's two guys going starting.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Late like that.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: He was very happy.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It's what he wants, what he needs.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I get it. Listen, I do.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: You know, if that's what you made your living doing
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: and the craft you love, it's hard to see it change, right?
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Let's do a behind the music of, like, Fire Joe Morgan, Deadspin,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Sports by Brooks.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: That would be a good one. Well, they couldn't track
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: him down, remember? That was Perlman's white whale. Perlman found
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: him but didn't want to write about it. And then
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: he's back now for a while. But I'm sure there
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: will be a documentary somewhere out there. I mean, there's
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: a documentary on everything now.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: So, you know, so. Yeah.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Keep the cards and letters coming. You can comment on Facebook, X,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: and YouTube. Also, 877-794-1973.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: So I mentioned Tyrese Halliburton throwing out the first pitch yesterday.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: He's been getting into it online with Nathan Marzian, who's
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: a Bucs online kind of blogger, tweeter. He's built himself
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: a big following now. And Cubs fan.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Not a Brewers guy, yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: So he went back and he tweeted it yesterday when
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: the Halliburton news came out that he was going to
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: be thrown out the first pitch. He's like, if the
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Cubs lose, this is why. All right, blaming this guy,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: and that's the problem. Tyrese was feeling himself last night
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: after probably sitting in a suite at Wrigley hanging out
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: after throwing out the first pitch. He said, we won.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: So what does that mean, Nathaniel? Well, Marziano wasn't going
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: to be outdone there. Instead, a tweet that has 1.9
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: million views said, it means you're still a guy that
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: went from a likable hometown kid to someone who goes
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: out of his way to be an a-hole towards Milwaukee.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I thought that was where the dagger ended up closing.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: No.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Apparently Tyrese Halliburton was doing some digging and pulled out receipts.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: My man's got four tweets all the way back from 2020.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Nate had posted Halliburton would be a huge steal in
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: this draft. 2021 Halliburton should win rookie of the year.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Listening to Tyrese Halliburton on the low podcast. Today's fantastic.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: He said, this is how you talk about a holes. Yeah,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: but I heard your whittle feelings back in back to
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: back April's. Okay.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: But that doesn't go against what Nate was saying. Cause
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Nate said you were one time a likable guy. And
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: that I would assume at that point in.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: The draft, He became less likable when he did beat
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the buck. When he did beat the buck. I will
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: say this.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: If you get Tyrese Halberd net worth, I don't know,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: a couple hundred million- This and that.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: It will be once he finishes the deal, yeah.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: If you get him to do that much, spend that
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: much time, energy, mental capacity on your old tweets as
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: just a dude, Nathan, I mean, he's grown this well,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: but he's still just a dude, right? You've done your job.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: That's a trophy on Nathan's wall.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: What job is that?
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: To go after him, Drew, is what they do on
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: the internet now.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: You got him run free.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say this. Tyrese has drawn my ire.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, you hate this man. But you got to give
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: him credit.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: He plays the heel perfectly. He knows what he's doing,
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: and you almost got to respect how much he knows
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: how to play the heel because he knows it's going
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: to make fans here mad, and he's fine with that.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, I'll throw the first pitch out.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I'll do it. Because the amount.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Of whatever stuff people talk about him in Milwaukee, I'm
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: sure he loves to do it.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Isn't he shoving it because... The Brewers invited him to
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: throw out a first pitch and then rescinded the invitation?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Once they realized that it was going to not go
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: as well as they thought it was. Yes, 100%. So
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I get why he's doing it.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: So he's, you know, trolling.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: You would too.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if I was him, yeah.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: If that's the type of person I wanted to be,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: which he is, then I would too.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the Brewers rug pulled him and he's like, okay, well,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I'll go throw. Who cares who he roots for and
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: who he... What jersey he wears, I don't care.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Because it's funny. It's not ending anyone's life. But it
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: is supposed to be funny. It's more of a joke.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: It's not a life-altering occasion.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: We all understand that. It's not like they're going to...
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Nobody needs a restraining order or anything.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: No, this is fun and games.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: If Tyrese and Nate actually got together, they'd joke and
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: they'd take a picture. It'd be like one of those things.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: But the thing I think is interesting about it is,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: you know, we haven't now heard from Tyrese for a
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: while because he kind of had the off year.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: He had the shingles.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Tyrese Halliburger is what he became. He had shingles. He got.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Which is no laughing matter. Shingles is a very serious thing.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Especially when it's on your face.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: It's very, very. And painful.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Now, the thing is, I'm curious to see, because there's
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of people, not to get too off topic here,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: that really think the Pacers just had a gap year
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: and they'll be back to being an Eastern Conference contender
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: again in a very, very, very good East. And I'm
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: not one of those people. So I'm very curious to
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: see how they do this year, how Tyrese does coming
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: off this type of disease.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: It's not easy. So we'll see.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, he might fade away into the wilderness playing-wise.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: He might never be the same player again. He might
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: have gotten lucky all those years, Billy.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: You never know.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Might have gotten lucky. Yeah, definitely might have gotten lucky. Oh,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: come on. Definitely might have gotten lucky.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: It will be hard for the Pacers, though, in the East.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Let's be honest. Will you be cheering against the Pacers
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: more than any other team in basketball? Will you be
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: cheering against the Pacers more than the Heat this year?
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: That's a hard one, right?
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Because, I mean, I'm always predisposed to cheer against the
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Celtics and the Heat. Now, Giannis is on the Heat,
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: and we both said we don't wish him bad, but
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: we're not going to be cheering for them. No, I
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: don't think I'll be cheering for the Heat to lose
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: more than the Pacers. If I see them playing head-to-head,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: I'm going to want Giannis to dunk on Tyrese.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: But I don't want either of them to win a title.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: That's fine. Tyrese, in some ways, is the reverse. He's
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: the reverse Tyler Herro.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Our hero's coming back into the fold now and going
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: to be warmly welcomed back.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I would say very lowercase level on lowercase W on welcome.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, warm welcome.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: He has not really been welcomed back very well by
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of parts of the fan. We'll see. When
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: people see him.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: On the court, he's one of those players who's easier
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: to cheer for when he's on your team. And when
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: he's playing, right, Drew? That's the part of it.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: When he's actually scoring 25 a night, you realize he's
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: a better player than people make you think.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Which I think he's going to do because he's going
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: to be the dude.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: The funny thing is those dudes were really good friends
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: back in the day in the AAU circuit. And it
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: was a lot of parts in the hatred and disposition
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: for Wisconsin fans about them. There was one roster spot,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: one scholarship that was going to go out to one
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: of the two at Wisconsin. They tried to give it
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: to Tyler. Mitz, obviously, and then goes to Kentucky. By
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: that time, Tyrese is like, oh, well, you didn't want me.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Poor Wisconsin got neither. And they end up out in
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: the cold without either of them. And then both of
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: them have the chip on the shoulder towards the Patchers.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: That does not start a ringing endorsement for the fan base.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: But it is fun.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: It is fun to have somebody that is this level
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: of an athlete.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: He's one of the top players. in the league.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: He was an Olympian a couple of years ago. Whether
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: he just got a name in the group project, went
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: to the finals. He's still an Olympian. Vanquished the Bucs twice.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Was on the doorstep of being finals MVP if they
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: end up winning that game, and my man was cooking
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: in that first five minutes, but.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: is what it is from the state to go to
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: this level. That to me is still cool.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: That to me will still not be taken down or
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: knocked down just because of a couple of things that
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: he says against the team.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: But it's one of the fun parts of it. He
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: is public enemy number one. And it hurt me emotionally.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: I'll say it many times. Feelings hurt my feelings.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: He just killed.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, the way we lost those games, that might've
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: been the end of the, I mean, that was just,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: but you're right. The connection actually is there with Tyler.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Didn't his dad recruit.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Him to the, and you're right though. Isn't that the
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: bones of it though? It's like, how can he, forego his,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: the team from his state that he grew up, you know,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: watching and stuff. It's like, well, once you start getting
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: a check from another entity, it's easy to forego those things.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: How many, he makes you do a lot of things.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: How many Badgers players are grew up in Minnesota basketball,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: you know, especially like those guys come over and it's like,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: do they feel any allegiance? No, it's totally different.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: And it's totally different. Exactly.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: And then once you make that leap and start getting
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: it and then, they'll never have an allegiance to the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: university of Wisconsin ever.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Well, the state never loved Tyrese back. I mean, that's
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: the other thing. He never had any allegiance from any
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: state school. So I don't blame him.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: And now if Tyrese starts trolling with wearing bear stuff, Well,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I figured he was going to come out in a
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Hammond Bears hat because I thought that was the part
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: I thought the real big deal was let's just let
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: everybody know that's on the north side.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: It's really not that bad of a drive. What if
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: he had been sitting with Caleb Williams behind the dugout?
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I thought they were going to find a spot for
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: him in the cool athlete section. Caleb Wilson right there,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: fourth overall pick. A couple other guys that I totally
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: knew their names. Make Colts fans mad, though? Wouldn't that
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: make Colts? Because he's Indianapolis.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: He's not Chicago. So I wonder if that would make
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Colts fans mad if he did that.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Perhaps.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe there are some Colts fans that get upset. That
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: might be kicking that hornetsness.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: But there's some out there. We got to go see
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: if that Seth kid was upset about it. The one
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: that was singing the Colts songs?
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Seth, man, respect.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: This is our Colts. We love you.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Banger, though.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. Be honest with you. Raps. Yeah, I mean,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: but that is the thing with Tyrese. It's like.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: You can say he's spurring the state, but the state
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: never showed him love in terms of no one that
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: recruited him.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: No one did anything.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: He never got drafted here, obviously, and all that stuff.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: And then his dad went after Giannis, and we all
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: turned on the whole.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, and then they became the worst. The wrestling heels.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Family of all time. It's the best. You're right, though.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Once you're a pro, you come back to beat that team.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: It's not like you're.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, Larry terrorized the Pacers when he came back
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: to Indiana, but people loved him still.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: It was one of those things. And then he ended
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: up working for the Pacers. I was going to say,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: and then he ran the Pacers. Exactly.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: The story arc will be at some point, Hal Burton
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: will finish his career with a cup of coffee playing
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: for the Bucs.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: And then it'll be all will be forgotten.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Yep, all will be forgotten. Hey, Tyler Hero is going
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: to be a lot more popular in a couple months
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: in the state than he was ever. Does he make
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: it through the season? Well, that depends on how they're
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: doing and what they can get for him at the deadline.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: And even then, if he plays well and they're building
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: a foothold on a rebuild here, If he helps drop
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: a pylon or an anchor. and then goes and you
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: flip him into something that's usable, yeah, he'll be regarded.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I should know this. Was he at the Miles Turner
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: summer camp? Was he there?
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was there.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: He was playing. I did not see him on the boat,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: but there were a couple of heads turned.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I saw him, yeah. He was definitely playing, hooping.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: He gave one of the little hat tips with the
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: cool cowboy hats they all had. There's not enough room
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: on that boat anyway. I don't blame him. Tyler probably
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: had his own boat.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Need a bigger boat. All right, we've got to get
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: to the Labor Day conversation. We'll do that next. You're
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Does Queen Bay really suck? Historically, no.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Would I like to see the Packers get swept this year?
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to go to all those games and show
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: out just like he is and has.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: You'll have to ask the masses on that one.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: They'd have a different answer, I think.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Now, who was that, Armin?
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Uh, PCA. Thanks Billy for alerting me to that. Sending
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: it to me.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: PCA answering the question from the, uh, air style, uh,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: for the fourth.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Estate or is it fit the state?
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: I always forget. Fourth estate, the Chicago assembled media. Does
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: green Bay really suck? The hard hitting journalistic questions.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Did you see PCA walk-off interview with the junior Rosenthal?
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: He said, no, he's, He said, what if I told
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: you in March that you'd be having this kind of season?
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: He basically said, yeah. He didn't know how to answer
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: because he came around to saying, I kind of expected
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: that I had this ability. I was believing in myself.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: He kind of expected that he had this ability. I
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: believed I was capable of a performance like this.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: That's probably the only way you can answer that, because
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: otherwise you sound like the guy that.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Is either way too confident. Golly, geez, yeah. I'm even
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: surprising myself.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: It's really nice to be able to hit one of
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: these sliders.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: He's walked up.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: He knows he's good.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: He's been playing well. It wasn't like this was his
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: first year. Yeah, so I understand that he believes that. Yeah,
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: he totally did.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: When you're on Team USA as a 12-year-old, you probably
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: have a well-built-up.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Thought of yourself. I think he had some self-confidence.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: All those guys believe. I mean, Monte L still thinks it.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Me and Steph Curry.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: We're rolling into Labor Day weekend. What's the cookout? What's
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the tradition? See, Labor Day weekend, to me, it's always bittersweet.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I like having the Monday off. I like that it's
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: usually nice weather here, especially in the good land. September,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: some of our best weather. You know, raining today, a
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: little bit this morning, but free car washes, as Armand
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: would say. Yes. But- It's tinged with sadness because it's
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: the end of summer. It's the ceremonial end of summer
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: and football's back, which we like.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Thank goodness.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: But at the same point, school's back in. If you
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: dread that, you're getting back into routines and you know
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: winter's coming. It's like I'm hanging on to summer with
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: my fingernails on the side of the mountain. I don't
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: want summer to go away. So it's a bit sad. Now,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: you don't hear about I'm sure the stores will be
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: crowded today and this weekend because people are going to
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: be stocking up. But what's the traditional cook of? Is
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: it the last cookout of the year? Is it the
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: last run to get brats? Like, what is it? What
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: is the tenor other than, okay, there's a Labor Day
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: parade and we celebrate the working folk, all that. But
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: what about, you know, the logistics of it? It's just another,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: it's just a free day. People go shopping for mattresses.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Like, what do we do? Yeah, I was today years
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: old when I found out that there's Labor Day parades.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I'll also be missing those events. But I would say,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: I think to me, Drew. Any day that you can
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: celebrate that you are actually a part of. What did
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Mike Holmgren say at the end of the 96 Super
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Bowl day? Everybody had a say in it. Everyone got
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: it done.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: He said, everyone had a say in it.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Everyone got it done. I'm proud of you. I'm proud
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: of all of you because this is the day that
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: you earned. You earned this day for us to do
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: absolutely positively. Nothing if you want because this is not
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: the day that you got to remember or honor or
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: thank or buy a present for anybody. You just thank
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: yourself when you kick your feet up there at the
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: 9.30 mark in the morning and say, we earned this.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I've been busting my ass all year. You know what
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: I should?
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: I do deserve a laborless Labor Day.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Or by that, maybe I earned myself one day to
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: go out in the lawn and cut down all these
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: you know, branches that I've been saying I was going
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: to do for the last six weeks.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: The labor I want to do on my terms, but
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: it does represent, you know, the blue collar workers, the
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: guys like us, like, you know, like me. So I
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: do appreciate that.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: Barbecues.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: So there's like cookouts, gatherings.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: It's sadder to me because it is the end and
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: we will go through this forever about fall and spring
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: and things like that. it means summer's ending and it
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: means that winter's upon us eventually. Um, but I will
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: say this, we have some good days ahead of us still.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: So it means getting together. Definitely some barbecue action. Definitely some, but,
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: but I, I pushed back at the notion that it's
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: the last day to get brats and burgers and grill.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Like you can do that all the time.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Of course you can, but it does seem like it
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't hit the same.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously on the fourth, it's like, you know, go
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: stand in line to buy anything.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But now it'll be a little bit tougher.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, Billy's going to, is it, We start
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: making chili.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I've been waiting for a good time to be able
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: to fire up a pot. Great ribbon award winning chili
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: for Harmon. I'll make it, but I don't think of
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Labor Day as chili. No, but now you can start.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Now this is the ceremonial thought that you put them away.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know that anybody's really doing a bunch of
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: grill outs and cookouts. This is also why I've said
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: for a long time, the NFL should be playing this weekend.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: They absolutely should.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: The fear and trepidation and the shuddering in turmoil. How
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: on earth are people going to structure their Labor Day
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: weekends to watch NFL games?
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: They're going to watch NFL games. We're going to watch
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: college games. Are we going to watch the freaking U.S.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Open? Come on.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: We're waiting to watch the NFL. Just put the games on.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Games on.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: And then we'll have an extra day to rest after
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: week one.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: That would be incredible.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: The way that you said U.S.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Open, that hurt me.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: I know it did. That really hurt me.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Armin, no one's watching that stuff, right?
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: See, that's different.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to sit here and expect people are
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: going to watch it, like sit down and watch a
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: whole tennis match.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: But the way you said it, Drew, everything just.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: No, you're right. It is still a baseball weekend for me.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: I thought we had Osaka.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Alcaraz could walk into the studio with a box of
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: dunkers and I wouldn't know who the guy is.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: No clue. No, but I'd thank him.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: You might know I don't think I would.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Is he stacked up? Is he a thick cat? Would
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: I understand that he's a professional athlete? He's kind of short,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: but he's cut pretty well. Wiry?
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I was just going to say, a little wiry frame. Center.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: He's not Michael Chang. I'm just glad you're on my
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: side on this one, Drew. They should be playing NFL
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: games this weekend. They should be, totally. This is not
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: the big travel weekend in the last big up north
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: trip that a lot of people think it is.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Those days are, yeah. That is, you're right. Because I
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: know it is kind of a big travel.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: People are going up north.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: You don't think people are doing that?
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Not much.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Well, get the boat out of the water and just
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: shut down the lake house, all that, and get into
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: the grind. But you can still do that in the
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: weeks to come. And it's still going to be nice out.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: And you can also do that on Saturday and then
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: be ready for the Packers game on Sunday.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: For sure. There's plenty of time for it. For sure.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: I've laughed at that idea. And as they expand the schedule,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: they're definitely going to at some point occupy it. But
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: they have just been, I'm a little concerned about playing
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: on Labor Day. Who cares?
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: We'll get texts on this thing. I'm sure we'll get
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: some as we kick off next hour and stuff like that.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: It's our day. We want to watch football. You should
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: be honoring us by playing.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: One thing about Labor Day versus Memorial Day, this is
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: the time of the year when the bugs peak outside. And, man,
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: it's kind of tough with the mosquitoes and the yellow
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: jackets and the wasps out there.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Man, they're peaking right now. That's all, Billy. They're peaking.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: When my building, when they want to drain the pool,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: because I've got to use it.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Every last minute I can be in the pool swimming around.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: I've got to take advantage of it. All right, first
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: hours in the books. Dolph will join us at 625.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Wayne Larrabee scheduled to appear at 725. Yeah, we'll see.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: We'll see. It's a holiday weekend. We'll check touch base
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: with the voice of the Packers. You're in the huddle,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
