0:05
Speaker 1: today Wisconsin broadcasting live Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine to
0:09
Speaker 1: twenty in Milwaukee, ten seventy in Madison. Drew Elsome, Bill Schmid,
0:12
Speaker 1: armand Sorry and live from headquarters here on I Buy
0:16
Speaker 1: or Sell Tuesday in the good Land. Get us your
0:20
Speaker 1: buyer sell propositions eight seven seven, seven, ninety four one
0:24
Speaker 1: ninety seven to three buy or sell early start here.
0:28
Speaker 2: We got an early one right away here from John
0:30
Speaker 2: on the YouTube comments here are let's go, what do
0:32
Speaker 2: we got?
0:33
Speaker 3: Sorry?
0:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, popping up again, buy or Sell. The Brewers won
0:36
Speaker 4: ninety games this season. He said, I know, wrong day, No,
0:39
Speaker 4: you get the right you.
0:40
Speaker 1: Got the right day, John Market markets, markets work, and
0:45
Speaker 1: Market's correcting. That'd be a seven step step down from
0:49
Speaker 1: ninety seven to ninety, but I can see it.
0:52
Speaker 3: I'm not going to write them off.
0:53
Speaker 2: Well, it would still be an over on the win
0:57
Speaker 2: total because of where may the numbers have come in
1:01
Speaker 2: for different teams across baseball, and the Brewers at the
1:04
Speaker 2: Potawatami Sportsbook right now sit at eighty five and a half.
1:08
Speaker 2: I think the only other team teams in the NL
1:11
Speaker 2: that were ahead of them were the Cubs. Braves were
1:13
Speaker 2: right there and neck and neck, and obviously the Dodgers
1:17
Speaker 2: and Phillies would would be in that conversation. But you
1:20
Speaker 2: it's weird to think that ninety games is almost expected
1:24
Speaker 2: is the wrong word, Drew. But that number doesn't seem
1:27
Speaker 2: as wild.
1:27
Speaker 1: And lofty as it would have if you would have
1:29
Speaker 1: told talked to me in twenty sixteen, like I would.
1:32
Speaker 1: I thought ninety games like, okay, that's that's that's something
1:35
Speaker 1: that doesn't really happen very often, and now you've just
1:37
Speaker 1: become accustomed to it for how they play.
1:40
Speaker 3: That's true.
1:41
Speaker 1: It's it's the expectations are have definitely shifted. But the
1:45
Speaker 1: perception of the Brewers is always going to be national.
1:48
Speaker 1: It's going to be the under right, because there's going
1:50
Speaker 1: to be underdogs. I just saw a list that MLB
1:53
Speaker 1: put out MLB Network, I think of the top ten
1:55
Speaker 1: second baseman and they have you know, Bryce Dranks tenth,
2:00
Speaker 1: which makes Bruce. You can choose to get mad at that,
2:02
Speaker 1: or you can just go that's just like that hashtag milk.
2:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I, of course my instant reaction is indignance,
2:10
Speaker 4: right when I hear that but you're right. As a
2:11
Speaker 4: Burer fan, you want to protect your own. But there
2:13
Speaker 4: are a lot of great second basemen in this league.
2:15
Speaker 4: When you start to stack him up, but just by
2:18
Speaker 4: you know, if you like the secondary and if you
2:19
Speaker 4: like war, if you like the analytics, and he's up
2:21
Speaker 4: there with anybody.
2:22
Speaker 3: So well, ye, reality, I.
2:24
Speaker 2: Don't know that many people that like that number, but
2:26
Speaker 2: I do believe there's a lot of Brewers fans myself included,
2:29
Speaker 2: that have been listening to Armin Sarians of the world
2:31
Speaker 2: say he's the most valuable player on the Brewers. All right,
2:34
Speaker 2: that's adorable. I know we all love Bryce Terrang. He's
2:37
Speaker 2: very nice, very good defensive player. But then you see
2:39
Speaker 2: the offensive pop that he gets in the second half
2:42
Speaker 2: of the year, there will be a lot more people
2:44
Speaker 2: that have the pitchforks up and the torch is ready
2:47
Speaker 2: to defend him after that. So the second baseman ranked
2:50
Speaker 2: ahead of him MLB now MLB Network Cattel Marte, pretty Good,
2:54
Speaker 2: Jazz Chisholm the Yankees, Nico Horner of the Cubs, Brenda
2:59
Speaker 2: Donov of Saint Louis, Marcus Semeon from the Mets, jose
3:03
Speaker 2: L Tuvey get along, in the tooth, another short king
3:06
Speaker 2: from Houston, Labor Torres from the Detroit that one I
3:10
Speaker 2: can understand Xavier Edwards of the Marlins and Brandon Lowe
3:15
Speaker 2: of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
3:16
Speaker 1: Okay, well, armand knows I like Brandon Lowe. I wanted
3:18
Speaker 1: him at the deadline last year. I'm gonna have to
3:21
Speaker 1: do the gut check here.
3:23
Speaker 2: I'm a man, Brendan Donovan, nice player four years and
3:25
Speaker 2: never had an eight hundred over Ops. There's a lot
3:29
Speaker 2: of guys in there that just on first stroke, you're like,
3:31
Speaker 2: definitely better.
3:32
Speaker 1: Isn't the platinum glove carry more weight than that? Doesn't
3:34
Speaker 1: it kind of like elevate you a little bit?
3:36
Speaker 2: You would think it would give you a leg up
3:38
Speaker 2: over Xavier Edwards. Again, like all due respect, but like
3:42
Speaker 2: when that name got brought up last year at the deadline,
3:45
Speaker 2: it felt like at so he could be Bryce Trang's backup,
3:49
Speaker 2: or Bryce Trang would be able to move over to
3:51
Speaker 2: shortstop and you're able to supplement there. But that to
3:54
Speaker 2: me doesn't sound like a list of guys outside of
3:57
Speaker 2: a couple and the name brand on L two vas.
4:00
Speaker 2: He's gonna have him, probably about that, even though I
4:02
Speaker 2: don't know how many games he's actually playing at second base. Now, Yeah,
4:06
Speaker 2: i'd have to struggle with a couple of those names,
4:08
Speaker 2: no doubt.
4:09
Speaker 3: No, I think he's top five. That's what buyer sells
4:11
Speaker 3: all about. Eight seven seven seven nine.
4:14
Speaker 1: For example, are you buying or selling that, though he's
4:18
Speaker 1: never won a championship game and guided his team to
4:22
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, that you'd rather have Jordan Love as
4:24
Speaker 1: your quarterback than either Sam Donald or Drake May.
4:29
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm selling that. You're selling You're taking Drake May.
4:31
Speaker 3: I'm selling I'm taking Rake. Yeah, Yeah, I'm taking Drake May.
4:34
Speaker 3: I thought it was more Donald. No, No, I'm gonna
4:37
Speaker 3: take the twenty thing.
4:39
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the twenty three year old that I
4:41
Speaker 2: think runs better to runs more willingly than Jordan I think,
4:45
Speaker 2: but he throws the ball.
4:47
Speaker 1: Told anything about guys that run, it's it's great and
4:51
Speaker 1: effective and invigorating for a couple of years, and then
4:55
Speaker 1: after a couple of years have taken shots, then they
4:57
Speaker 1: stop running and it's like it's like the and it's
5:00
Speaker 1: better off not to be or not as much of
5:03
Speaker 1: the running quarterback.
5:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still would take May to the point where
5:07
Speaker 2: what if he does, you could eliminate the running. To me,
5:10
Speaker 2: and I think he's the best young thrower of the
5:12
Speaker 2: football that we see in the league.
5:14
Speaker 4: It's hard to say no to Drake May because obviously,
5:16
Speaker 4: you know, being an MVP candidate at this age, and
5:18
Speaker 4: he's in a super Bowl, but he hasn't looked great
5:21
Speaker 4: for the last month. I'll be honest with you, I
5:23
Speaker 4: think he's got to do it again for me to convinced. Yeah,
5:26
Speaker 4: some way to convince me. But like, but Donald, for me,
5:29
Speaker 4: is the one that's convinced me. I mean Donald.
5:31
Speaker 1: Donald just played in his biggest game of his career.
5:33
Speaker 1: He played the game of his the best game of
5:35
Speaker 1: the season.
5:35
Speaker 3: He's really good. What did he throw this year? Fourteen picks?
5:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, he threw four picks against that Rams team already.
5:41
Speaker 2: Isn't that like fourteen picks in a season. That's like,
5:44
Speaker 2: that's tua. Guys like that led the NFL, he was,
5:47
Speaker 2: He was right near the top of the NFL, if
5:49
Speaker 2: not the league leader with those fourteen pats.
5:52
Speaker 3: He kind of Eli Manning in a big game.
5:54
Speaker 1: He stepped up in a big game, right, So he
5:56
Speaker 1: had his best game of the season in the biggest
5:58
Speaker 1: game of the season.
5:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, just Gino Smith and tow a tongue of ailoa
6:02
Speaker 2: right up there with Justin Herbert and somebody that I
6:05
Speaker 2: think got jobbed for the Pro Bowl yesterday, Trevor Lawrence.
6:08
Speaker 2: But there's a couple of guys in there, Drew like
6:11
Speaker 2: consensus wise, you ask people around the NFL, everyone would
6:15
Speaker 2: say that they would take Justin Herbert over all those guys. Well, now,
6:18
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert has had three opportunities in the playoffs, has
6:21
Speaker 2: blown a twenty seven nothing lead, twenty seven to nothing
6:27
Speaker 2: lead on the road through four picks against Houston last
6:31
Speaker 2: year when I think he threw three picks all of
6:32
Speaker 2: the regular season, and this year barely got off the
6:35
Speaker 2: plane when they scored three points on the road.
6:38
Speaker 1: So to that point, when it is a put up
6:41
Speaker 1: or shut up time, that's the first time, to be fair,
6:44
Speaker 1: the first time Darnold has really shut people.
6:47
Speaker 2: Up with his play in the biggest game of his career.
6:51
Speaker 2: But you only have to do it once to be
6:52
Speaker 2: the flavor of the month. I just I see the talent,
6:56
Speaker 2: I see everything around May and yeah, he might not
7:00
Speaker 2: have been great. You might also not be great when
7:01
Speaker 2: you're you're throwing the ball to Pop Douglas in Kaishan
7:04
Speaker 2: booty as much as he has to you throw him
7:07
Speaker 2: with some of the weapons that there are in the NFL.
7:09
Speaker 1: And I think he's just about as good as anybody.
7:10
Speaker 1: Okay eight seven, seven, seven, nine four one ninety seven
7:15
Speaker 1: to three? Now, Ike, what do you got for buying
7:17
Speaker 1: and selling? H buy or sell?
7:19
Speaker 2: Adam Stenovich will not be the Packers offensive coordinator next year.
7:24
Speaker 2: And it's not because he's getting a play calling job
7:27
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Bye bye bye. That's an interesting thing.
7:31
Speaker 4: We think so much about a coordinator's moving up right
7:34
Speaker 4: that it's linear. You know, you move up, new job,
7:36
Speaker 4: new organizm. And I always think about, well, what happens
7:38
Speaker 4: because it says just jumpling on the totem pole, right,
7:40
Speaker 4: I'm like, what happens to the guys with all the
7:42
Speaker 4: jobs of all the head coaches that get fired? The
7:44
Speaker 4: whole staff gets fired usually, right, So I'm like, all
7:46
Speaker 4: these other coordinators become available that might be coveted around
7:49
Speaker 4: the league, and then if you're looking to upgrade different positions,
7:52
Speaker 4: wouldn't this be the one to do it?
7:54
Speaker 3: Yeah?
7:54
Speaker 1: But would you say, could it be? Would he take
7:58
Speaker 1: advance Joseph. He has a defensive coordinator of a team
8:02
Speaker 1: he was once the head coach of Persteno. Persteno, you
8:06
Speaker 1: can stay. You gotta go back coach the line, that's
8:09
Speaker 1: the question, because the old line was good when he
8:11
Speaker 1: was the coach, and it was bad this year. And
8:13
Speaker 1: I don't know what Luke buckets and what their delineation
8:15
Speaker 1: of duties was, because again you don't know what goes on.
8:19
Speaker 1: But when a guy is the OC and doesn't call plays,
8:22
Speaker 1: it would seem then that he is you know that
8:25
Speaker 1: you're in the creative department. And especially when Lafleur has
8:30
Speaker 1: lauded in the past, especially when the Elik Willis games
8:33
Speaker 1: come through and the running ability and people are like, well,
8:36
Speaker 1: the run game just looks better. He gives a lot
8:38
Speaker 1: of credit in that realm to Adam Sinovic. He says
8:41
Speaker 1: he designs so much of their running issue game.
8:45
Speaker 2: Well, then that would also lay a lot of blame
8:47
Speaker 2: at his feet, because their worst offensive trait this year
8:51
Speaker 2: was their lack of their their inability to run the
8:53
Speaker 2: football consistently, and a team that went into the year
8:57
Speaker 2: I think doubling down on wanting to be a run
9:00
Speaker 2: first operation that stunted them big time in the development
9:04
Speaker 2: This year, we're into the late stages of December before
9:07
Speaker 2: they went to Denver. They're nine three to one, winning
9:09
Speaker 2: four straight games. We're still kind of wondering what the
9:11
Speaker 2: identity of the team is at that point. So I
9:13
Speaker 2: think it makes a lot of.
9:14
Speaker 1: Sense he's interviewing in Tennessee now that would be a
9:18
Speaker 1: play calling job to lead the offense for Camboard just
9:24
Speaker 1: because he worked with Robert Salad before in the past.
9:26
Speaker 3: I don't know necessarily that.
9:27
Speaker 1: That is good enough to get him the gig, but
9:30
Speaker 1: you would think there would have to be some kind
9:32
Speaker 1: of movie. Yeah, but Salah was advising the Packers during
9:36
Speaker 1: his sabbatical after he got fired, so he probably had
9:39
Speaker 1: contact on the offense side, saw him working, and so
9:42
Speaker 1: you know, so maybe there's the relationship there. We'll carry
9:45
Speaker 1: the day because we were talking earlier about these interview
9:48
Speaker 1: processes and what do you think it's like when you're
9:49
Speaker 1: interviewed for six different jobs, and how do you keep
9:52
Speaker 1: your story straight? And like, sometimes you feel good about
9:54
Speaker 1: an interview or the vibe, sometimes you feel bad.
9:56
Speaker 3: I'm still fascinated by that aspect of it.
9:58
Speaker 1: What we were talking about earlier about how this thing
10:02
Speaker 1: is a little bit like dating apps. You know, we
10:05
Speaker 1: met with this guy and if you're a jam like
10:08
Speaker 1: I never talked to this guy before he blew me away,
10:10
Speaker 1: or I didn't get good vibes from him, well in
10:13
Speaker 1: vibes like okay. And I will say at the outset
10:16
Speaker 1: for me, because I've had very few interviews in a
10:19
Speaker 1: long sports media career. The first one, know, I got
10:24
Speaker 1: my job as a messenger at the paper. I was
10:26
Speaker 1: like in the newsroom, like delivering mail and taking paper.
10:29
Speaker 1: When the papers came out off the press, I would
10:31
Speaker 1: take them and deliver them to everybody's desk.
10:34
Speaker 3: And that's an awesome gig.
10:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was I had to open the mail,
10:37
Speaker 1: which I had really good books and CDs because they
10:39
Speaker 1: would send them for reviews, and there were extra.
10:41
Speaker 3: Copies, like taking this one home.
10:43
Speaker 1: I supplemented my interim by taking that stuff home my
10:46
Speaker 1: own personal like library.
10:47
Speaker 4: Well, we've done that, we've got we've gotten books here.
10:49
Speaker 4: They sent his advanced copies.
10:51
Speaker 1: A guy I went to college with was in the
10:52
Speaker 1: sports department, which was adjacent to the messenger's desk, and
10:56
Speaker 1: he was leaving to go He graduated. He was leaving
10:58
Speaker 1: for a part time job in Rugby, North Dakota, and
11:00
Speaker 1: he's like, hey, you should replace me.
11:02
Speaker 3: Walk me into the sports enter's office. Hey, how about
11:03
Speaker 3: this guy?
11:04
Speaker 1: Sports enter puts down his cheeseburger, he goes, hey, can
11:06
Speaker 1: you type? Yeah, you know what the hours are? Yeah,
11:08
Speaker 1: all right, come in Monday and learn. That was my interview.
11:10
Speaker 3: That was my entire career hinged on that interview after
11:13
Speaker 3: I got the job free AI. And the reason I
11:16
Speaker 3: got the.
11:16
Speaker 1: Messenger job is because I knew about it because my
11:19
Speaker 1: sister worked in the credit department in a different department,
11:22
Speaker 1: and she would go to the bar across the street
11:23
Speaker 1: and new people from the newsroom, and she heard, Hey,
11:25
Speaker 1: they're looking for an editorial assistant a messenger. So I
11:27
Speaker 1: went to pay for that. That's my whole career depends
11:30
Speaker 1: on those two interviews. I've had a couple of other ones,
11:33
Speaker 1: but the rest of it not really not really a
11:35
Speaker 1: go put on a tie and interview for a job.
11:38
Speaker 3: It works.
11:39
Speaker 4: It's amazing how much things change, how much they stay
11:41
Speaker 4: at the same. You know, it's all about who you know.
11:43
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna do you got one, baby?
11:45
Speaker 2: No, I was I was just gonna say, I think
11:47
Speaker 2: it lends itself to maybe you want some people from
11:50
Speaker 2: the outside to be able to get some new eyes
11:51
Speaker 2: under this thing.
11:52
Speaker 3: I like that. I like that one.
11:53
Speaker 4: All right, buying some I'm gonna try and say this
11:55
Speaker 4: in a non clunky way. No one has head and
11:57
Speaker 4: sell more, thank you. No one said had more respect
12:01
Speaker 4: from people in the league and less respect from fans
12:04
Speaker 4: outside of the league than Mike McCarthy.
12:07
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know anyone else that's that.
12:09
Speaker 4: The league seems to respect more corners franchises, the Packers,
12:14
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, the Steelers, while so fans treat him like
12:19
Speaker 4: he's the second coming of Rich co Tight or something
12:21
Speaker 4: bumbling idiot that's done nothing in this league when you
12:24
Speaker 4: know his.
12:25
Speaker 5: Numbers are very sh there you go and Harbaugh and
12:29
Speaker 5: Harbaugh they all want for that Super Bowl and they
12:32
Speaker 5: all like, they all have very similar winning percentages and
12:36
Speaker 5: the stats just and McCarthy gets no credit like, oh
12:38
Speaker 5: he should have won in Dallas, Like oh really, who's
12:41
Speaker 5: who else has won?
12:41
Speaker 3: They're under Jerry nobody. Yeah, in the last thirty years.
12:44
Speaker 2: I also think the uh, well, let's let's call spade
12:48
Speaker 2: spade part of it is disappearance. That's part of it
12:51
Speaker 2: is the appearance, because people are like well in the
12:54
Speaker 2: day and age of in the day and age of
12:57
Speaker 2: the thousand percent. But the only reason we like Andy
12:59
Speaker 2: Reeves as he leans into it and they're they're giving
13:01
Speaker 2: him cheeseburgers after the game, and he's.
13:03
Speaker 1: The lovable fat guy that you can laugh at. And
13:05
Speaker 1: you're right, he's got Super Bowl. I'm not gonna be
13:07
Speaker 1: mad when he eats a P thirteen burger at the
13:09
Speaker 1: sports book, at the Bottle Watomy sports book, go get it.
13:12
Speaker 4: That's a great burger, by the way, so much, that
13:14
Speaker 4: is an incredible burger.
13:15
Speaker 2: Sorry I had, But when you are in an offense
13:21
Speaker 2: that has great players, people look more to the great players,
13:26
Speaker 2: and he gets for some reason, he only gets the
13:30
Speaker 2: hinderance to Aaron Rodgers getting back to a second Super
13:33
Speaker 2: Bowl instead of any admiration and glow for getting him
13:36
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl.
13:38
Speaker 3: He ended up.
13:38
Speaker 2: Winning, right, and like similar, I don't think it's I
13:41
Speaker 2: don't think it's very different from Matt Lafleur, where you
13:44
Speaker 2: didn't really seem to get any credit for what happened
13:47
Speaker 2: when Aaron Rodgers was here. Let's also remember there's a
13:52
Speaker 2: reason why there was a statement from the president of
13:56
Speaker 2: the organization to Aaron Rodgers that said, hey, by the way,
13:59
Speaker 2: let now you don't be the problem, right.
14:02
Speaker 3: Like, there's a reason to know that when.
14:04
Speaker 2: They hadn't gone to the playoffs in two years, that
14:07
Speaker 2: you needed to rejuvenate him, and all of a sudden
14:10
Speaker 2: he ends up winning two MVPs.
14:11
Speaker 3: He gets none of that respect. So I would I
14:13
Speaker 3: would buy it.
14:14
Speaker 1: I think, you know, La Floor might be in that
14:16
Speaker 1: same thing, but it's the it's the price that have
14:18
Speaker 1: a great players.
14:19
Speaker 3: Fan is a price having great players.
14:21
Speaker 1: The follow up to Arman's buy or sell or buy
14:23
Speaker 1: or sell that Matt Lafleur is underrated probably is local
14:27
Speaker 1: or locally is underrated, and then nationally it's he's you know.
14:32
Speaker 4: Properly and that respect That goes back to one of
14:35
Speaker 4: the biggest epidemics. It's always been this with humans, but
14:37
Speaker 4: I guess more so in sports than ever, that the
14:40
Speaker 4: grass always is greener on the other side, that whatever's
14:42
Speaker 4: on the other side of the fence looks much better.
14:44
Speaker 3: How excited would a lot of fan base.
14:46
Speaker 4: Is being to get a guy like Kyle Shanahan but
14:48
Speaker 4: then I'm sure there are forty Niners fans up and
14:50
Speaker 4: down that call him overrated because he's never actually won
14:52
Speaker 4: a super Bowl and things like that. I mean, it's
14:54
Speaker 4: just one of many examples you could probably come up with.
14:56
Speaker 1: Okay, are you buying or selling that the Packers are
14:59
Speaker 1: closer to being a super Bowl team? Then most people
15:02
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin would believe buying not by that right there,
15:06
Speaker 1: But they.
15:07
Speaker 3: Lost the last five and they didn't be themselves so
15:10
Speaker 3: many times. That's that's for me, And so that's what.
15:12
Speaker 1: I'm saying, is like, but again, like the pessimism runs
15:16
Speaker 1: runs very it flows freely in these parts.
15:18
Speaker 2: That's why I would almost sell it, because I think
15:21
Speaker 2: there's a part of me that things and maybe this
15:24
Speaker 2: is just from the the pessimism that we're reading, is
15:27
Speaker 2: that people really believe this is a Super Bowl roster
15:32
Speaker 2: if there wasn't the kind of venom and frustration and
15:34
Speaker 2: anger at the coach and the coaching staff and how
15:37
Speaker 2: well they did, Like, you don't, in my estimation, get
15:41
Speaker 2: that angry and believe that there needs to be that
15:44
Speaker 2: kind of change if you think they're a team that
15:46
Speaker 2: is like the six or seven seed, right, So I
15:48
Speaker 2: think there are people that thought and looked and watched
15:51
Speaker 2: and said, this team needs to go to a super
15:53
Speaker 2: Bowl other than that.
15:54
Speaker 3: Of it just being.
15:56
Speaker 1: The fact that it's been fifteen years since they've gone
15:59
Speaker 1: and and that's the only thing that raises the urgency.
16:02
Speaker 1: It feels like people believe they were closer, and let's
16:06
Speaker 1: be honest, they were the odds on favorite to win
16:07
Speaker 1: it going into week fifteen, and halfway through their game
16:11
Speaker 1: in Week fifteen, it would have been all right, buy
16:13
Speaker 1: or sell, the live will be closed up shopping two years.
16:18
Speaker 4: Oh bye, I'll say by, and you have a lot
16:21
Speaker 4: of money to do it, because they seem to be
16:22
Speaker 4: flush with cash. Now that thing has been that's been
16:25
Speaker 4: the worst disaster in sports history, except for those guys
16:28
Speaker 4: got paid. And I keep hearing that back from people like,
16:30
Speaker 4: oh yeah, but all those guys make good for their
16:32
Speaker 4: bank accounts. But that's still not It was not a
16:35
Speaker 4: success in any any way, shape or form. There I
16:39
Speaker 4: decided to say it. Sorry, Billy, there you go, there's
16:41
Speaker 4: Matt rant.
16:42
Speaker 2: I'm glad you said it. I'm selling it. I still
16:43
Speaker 2: believe that they will be around. I don't know that
16:46
Speaker 2: it will be the fruitful endeavor just because Brooks Koepka
16:50
Speaker 2: decided that he didn't want to do it anymore.
16:52
Speaker 3: Bryson D.
16:53
Speaker 2: Schambeau I believe did re up, and John Rahm has
16:57
Speaker 2: backed that he is going to continue to stayry McRoy
17:00
Speaker 2: was dunk in the football last night, was spiking that
17:03
Speaker 2: bad boy at the TGL and enjoying, Like, Wow, it
17:06
Speaker 2: seems like maybe they're not getting what they wanted over there,
17:09
Speaker 2: or maybe Brooks Kafka is just never happy.
17:11
Speaker 4: That's I think that's both can be true. I think
17:14
Speaker 4: they're not successful. I don't think that they don't care.
17:16
Speaker 4: I don't think brook scares and actually have a good point, Billy.
17:18
Speaker 4: They might still be around because they don't have to
17:20
Speaker 4: turn a profit or they have to do anything successful.
17:22
Speaker 4: Like those guys have enough money to do whatever they want,
17:25
Speaker 4: so it can be a lot.
17:25
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, but like you're also acting like all
17:28
Speaker 1: sports leagues that started two years in were humming exceptionally well.
17:32
Speaker 4: Well, no, but I don't think I mean much interest
17:34
Speaker 4: there in this one specifically.
17:36
Speaker 3: You're right though they.
17:37
Speaker 1: Were saying the same thing about the NBA when they
17:39
Speaker 1: were tape delaying the NBA finals.
17:41
Speaker 3: Okay, hey, Armage. Still I don't see much interest in
17:43
Speaker 3: this one.
17:44
Speaker 1: I just went to Freezing Cold Takes and I found
17:46
Speaker 1: armed Sarran from a couple of years ago saying that
17:48
Speaker 1: these these satellite, little pop up excess felt leagues are
17:51
Speaker 1: gonna because people love football, They're gonna wall football.
17:54
Speaker 3: I said that those will all be successful.
17:55
Speaker 1: I'll be success every league that came down the pipe.
17:58
Speaker 1: Armors like, people love football, It's gonna.
18:00
Speaker 3: Fine if you.
18:01
Speaker 4: If you If your argument is no one likes the
18:03
Speaker 4: National Lacrosse League either, that's fine, but nobody, nobody, nobody
18:07
Speaker 4: cares about this golf league. I'm sorry, don't talk to
18:09
Speaker 4: people watch the sports book about the lacrosse league. People
18:12
Speaker 4: are people are wagering, people are having fun. I'm much
18:15
Speaker 4: one hundred percent, a million percent rather watch one of those.
18:18
Speaker 3: You don't like golf, Well that's the part. You're a
18:21
Speaker 3: terrible I don't like watching golf.
18:23
Speaker 4: You're a bad test case. That's a fair point. So
18:25
Speaker 4: maybe i'm not because you're not watching the PGA Tour.
18:28
Speaker 4: Now I'll watch the Masters in the US opening those
18:30
Speaker 4: type of things. Yeah, you're absolutely right, Billy. You have
18:33
Speaker 4: a great point there. Maybe I'm not the best test case,
18:35
Speaker 4: but I'm still gonna talk about it.
18:37
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, But again, you don't have to get defensive.
18:41
Speaker 3: I'm just saying I'm not defense.
18:42
Speaker 1: There are spots here where you know, they're still gonna
18:45
Speaker 1: make some money.
18:46
Speaker 3: And I want to hear. I that's why I am
18:48
Speaker 3: interested to.
18:48
Speaker 4: Hear when golf fans talk about it, because they're more
18:50
Speaker 4: than test case in this.
18:51
Speaker 3: Mike says Morning Boys by herself. Can Billy, you know,
18:53
Speaker 3: beat Armored in a forty yard dash? Yeah?
18:55
Speaker 4: Gone, but I think you can. I'm not a fast
18:57
Speaker 4: guy at all. Billy might be bigger than me, but
18:59
Speaker 4: I think he's probably.
19:00
Speaker 3: More of a Yeah.
19:00
Speaker 1: I haven't ran a forty yard dash in probably a decade,
19:04
Speaker 1: and I will put a lot on that because if
19:07
Speaker 1: I can't beat Arman in a forty yard dash, I
19:10
Speaker 1: don't know.
19:12
Speaker 3: I don't know that it makes sense to even have cleats.
19:14
Speaker 3: I'm they have to hang them up. Yeah, I don't.
19:16
Speaker 1: I don't think I need to have cleats anymore. I
19:18
Speaker 1: can do some things, but sprinting is not it, you know.
19:21
Speaker 1: And again I'm not gonna say that I'm I'm very
19:24
Speaker 1: fleet of foot, but I still believe drew as long
19:26
Speaker 1: as the Hammies hold up.
19:28
Speaker 3: Now that's gonna be a problem. That's a problem because
19:30
Speaker 3: you do know your boy is going to be well.
19:33
Speaker 1: Mas effort balls the walls from the start. You might
19:36
Speaker 1: be heard after pops off, I am going to be booking.
19:40
Speaker 1: My advice to any Weekend Warriors or anybody who thinks
19:43
Speaker 1: they're athletic and stuff.
19:44
Speaker 3: Let's say your thirties. In your thirties, is you.
19:47
Speaker 1: Know you can running, cycling, whatever you do. Cardio is
19:51
Speaker 1: probably overdy. You need to strengthening, but the number one thing
19:53
Speaker 1: you gotta do is mobility and flexibility. Stretch like absolutely, stretch, yoga,
19:58
Speaker 1: do whatever you have to do. Because prevent those poles
20:02
Speaker 1: there we were playing flag football. You could almost see
20:06
Speaker 1: like orthopedicsosis in Wisconsin. They could have had just that,
20:09
Speaker 1: they could have had that ortho asap spot in the
20:12
Speaker 1: parking lives.
20:14
Speaker 3: Because youknew that there was going to be a couple
20:16
Speaker 3: of them.
20:17
Speaker 1: God blown out in his elbows, fingers dislocated.
20:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, buddy, Wisconsin, there is a difference.
20:23
Speaker 2: My buddy is fiance who works at Orthopedic Exsociates at
20:25
Speaker 2: Wisconsin thing. Uh said, She's like, yeah, I'm gonna stop
20:28
Speaker 2: going now. Yeah, I'm doing three different gigs.
20:33
Speaker 3: Your stress, too much stress.

21:11
Speaker 6: stump Dolphin in the country.
21:13
Speaker 1: You've been hot wax from the back of the stack years.
21:18
Speaker 3: You know every country song that Dolf's been pumping waters
21:20
Speaker 3: in your cottage for decades. I played all this stuff new.
21:24
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness me. So where is in the country landscape.
21:27
Speaker 1: There's the new guys, there's the new guard, and then
21:29
Speaker 1: there's the old school old like you know, I guess
21:32
Speaker 1: what does that be?
21:33
Speaker 3: Like George Strait like.
21:34
Speaker 1: Or even like the older older William It does say,
21:39
Speaker 1: like my friend was saying about country music is from
21:41
Speaker 1: Steve Earl.
21:42
Speaker 3: It ain't country music unless you're singing about killing people.
21:48
Speaker 3: The themes have changed.
21:50
Speaker 6: Oh, but it's like the great song I mean, I
21:52
Speaker 6: mean considered the sorcer. Steve Earl had some dark times
21:55
Speaker 6: in his past, and yes he was always on the
21:57
Speaker 6: fringe of country. Those are the guys that I like the.
22:00
Speaker 3: Right, you know.
22:01
Speaker 6: Although when I first started raising some of these songs, Yeah,
22:04
Speaker 6: back in the nineteen eighties, Steve Earl was pretty mainstream country.
22:07
Speaker 6: I mean he had Guitar Town and Goodbyes all we
22:12
Speaker 6: have left something like that. And then after the Copperhead
22:14
Speaker 6: Road he started venturing off in a different roa folky now.
22:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had that one man.
22:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw him in fer Girl Beard. This could
22:24
Speaker 1: be my this could be my retirement life. But it
22:27
Speaker 1: is there is like the old country. Yeah, that's true.
22:31
Speaker 1: That's what they call the country West, Okay. Where is Brooks?
22:34
Speaker 1: Where is Garth Brooks? Is he now old?
22:36
Speaker 3: It is?
22:36
Speaker 6: I mean classic country now thirty five almost forty years ago,
22:40
Speaker 6: when Darth Brooks broke onto the scene. Arman with the
22:42
Speaker 6: country western reference there reminds me of the Blues Brothers
22:45
Speaker 6: when they were looking for a gig and they went
22:46
Speaker 6: into Bob's country bunker and said, what kind of music.
22:50
Speaker 3: Did you play here? Bob?
22:51
Speaker 6: He goes, oh, we play both kinds country and West
22:53
Speaker 6: Preston there was a show.
22:56
Speaker 1: But that's what I mean by old country, the Bob
22:57
Speaker 1: Wills and the Texas playboys right like that. Yeah, I
23:00
Speaker 1: mean you're talking swing, old old and then it's like
23:03
Speaker 1: follow the linea that's like cash.
23:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the dawn of country music with Bob Wills
23:08
Speaker 3: and Will.
23:09
Speaker 4: But there's no more tradition in country than country music
23:13
Speaker 4: fans arguing about certain artists and songs or country. Oh
23:16
Speaker 4: my god, that's what everyone does. You just do that now,
23:18
Speaker 4: I mean, now we have that with uh who am
23:22
Speaker 4: I like? The Brown family had Cale Brown is Freddy
23:27
Speaker 4: Pearlton Ace.
23:29
Speaker 3: It's the same thing. It's the exact same thing.
23:32
Speaker 6: You're so right, I mean, armand every generation has that guy.
23:36
Speaker 6: Can you imagine the reaction that wasn't around. Could you
23:38
Speaker 6: imagine the action reactions to Johnny Cash back in the
23:42
Speaker 6: day when he's doing cocaine blues. Took a shot of cocaine,
23:45
Speaker 6: then I shot that woman down.
23:46
Speaker 3: How did that go over with talking about country music
23:49
Speaker 3: about killing people? My god, great songs?
23:52
Speaker 1: Okay, well then post Malone shot a man and Reno
23:55
Speaker 1: just to watch now beer bongs and Bentley's doesn't sound
23:59
Speaker 1: as hot to play for Post Malone's old, old, old
24:02
Speaker 1: album cover.
24:03
Speaker 3: It's true. It makes a lot more sense than then.
24:06
Speaker 3: You can move around a little bit.
24:07
Speaker 1: This is this discussion is just a warm up because
24:09
Speaker 1: in the next hour we're giving away tickets to see
24:10
Speaker 1: Luke Bryan at Alpine Valley and not.
24:12
Speaker 2: All of them are just drinking beer out on the
24:14
Speaker 2: on the dock and like the water roll.
24:16
Speaker 7: On somewhere about drinking on a country road, you know,
24:20
Speaker 7: like or going to an old town road, old town
24:23
Speaker 7: another one, yeah, or Broadway then Broadway goes alone.
24:27
Speaker 3: You know.
24:27
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different thematic aspects of It's a
24:30
Speaker 1: big evening in the Dolphin family, is it not? The
24:32
Speaker 1: Big ten schedule gets released this evening?
24:35
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, that's always a big that's always.
24:38
Speaker 3: When when is it?
24:39
Speaker 2: There's rumors that it's gonna be Halloween night, rumors of
24:44
Speaker 2: of that game being right.
24:45
Speaker 3: Around Halloween Iowa City this year, you better believe it.
24:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, we already have our friend on the talking text
24:52
Speaker 1: line who has been urging me to become more Iowa friendly,
24:57
Speaker 1: and and I really appreciate it.
24:59
Speaker 3: I do.
25:00
Speaker 2: I would love to be a better human being. I
25:02
Speaker 2: think it would definitely help out a lot of things.
25:04
Speaker 2: And our friend Brandon is very very nice about it.
25:07
Speaker 2: What I don't think you want to be more Iowa friendly, Billy.
25:10
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna put that out Armon's Iowa f well,
25:13
Speaker 2: because I'm looking at some of these other cheek states
25:16
Speaker 2: that we have in the Midwest, Iowa might deserve a
25:19
Speaker 2: little bit more love than I've given it, because, as
25:22
Speaker 2: Dal said, I did go to Grinnell, Iowa the one
25:24
Speaker 2: time and made a very sweeping assessment of the worst
25:27
Speaker 2: state in the Union off of maybe it's worst sick.
25:29
Speaker 6: You know what's funny is I'm born and raised in
25:31
Speaker 6: the state of Iowa, and I have never been to Grinnell, Iowa.
25:33
Speaker 3: And Billy has actually been there.
25:36
Speaker 6: I know it's somewhere down there from where I grew
25:38
Speaker 6: up kind of that way and that way, but I
25:40
Speaker 6: don't really I.
25:42
Speaker 2: Was down the corridor over a hill and on the
25:45
Speaker 2: way to grandmother's houses.
25:46
Speaker 3: The way it felt like I feel like we were
25:48
Speaker 3: half way to the equator.
25:49
Speaker 1: Hardly any experience with Iowa. I've been there a couple
25:51
Speaker 1: of times, but like the Iowa Cubs, University of Iowa.
25:55
Speaker 1: Cal Eldred was a guy on a cover in my
25:57
Speaker 1: career was a big Iowha.
25:58
Speaker 3: He was a hawk Eye. That's the legend he was in.
26:00
Speaker 1: He did TV The Jokers was And I would tell
26:03
Speaker 1: Cal this, Hey, you're the you know, the second best
26:06
Speaker 1: thing to come out of Iowa.
26:07
Speaker 3: What's the first? What's the best thing? I eighty It
26:10
Speaker 3: just lasts. It takes you out of the state.
26:13
Speaker 6: I'm a little biased because I grew up there, but
26:15
Speaker 6: I encourage you to take a little road trip to
26:19
Speaker 6: extreme Eastern Iowa or extreme Yeah Quad City where he
26:22
Speaker 6: started my radio career, or extreme Western Iowa on the
26:24
Speaker 6: Missouri River over near Council bluft Omaha or Sioux City
26:28
Speaker 6: down to get.
26:28
Speaker 1: To the ed Yeah, Chillyill that's where Brandon said, he goes.
26:34
Speaker 1: They got to send you guys down, Billy. We need
26:36
Speaker 1: to start building you a love for Iowa.
26:38
Speaker 3: Now. I'm why because.
26:41
Speaker 1: I do believe we need to be a little more
26:42
Speaker 1: neighborly in twenty and again, is it is it better
26:46
Speaker 1: to like people from Iowa than people from Minnesota.
26:50
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to say.
26:51
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get issues here here. I'm just
26:53
Speaker 1: saying Iowa.
26:54
Speaker 2: I'm not I haven't even said the idiots out wandering
26:56
Speaker 2: around tank that people try to throw out there.
26:59
Speaker 3: I think they're very people over there. That's the Iowa
27:01
Speaker 3: that you're talking about, the Iowa acronym.
27:03
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, clear, So I'm gonna I'm gonna hang out
27:05
Speaker 2: with I'm gonna I'm i might be hanging out with Iowa.
27:07
Speaker 3: And thank you for that, Arman. Yeah, no problem, thank
27:09
Speaker 3: you for that.
27:10
Speaker 1: By the way, I got you did not realize what
27:12
Speaker 1: thank you by trying to start what we're saying.
27:14
Speaker 3: No, I'm talking about the Iowa acronym.
27:17
Speaker 1: You're down with Caitlyn Clark, Cooper, de g you go,
27:21
Speaker 1: some of the athletes that came from Iowa.
27:22
Speaker 6: Well, he's an offensive line guy, so he's more down
27:25
Speaker 6: with Tristan wurfs and and Audie Crooks. You are talking
27:29
Speaker 6: about my don't don't I just said offensive line, don't go.
27:35
Speaker 3: Not Brian Iowa. One of the best athletes in Iowa.
27:40
Speaker 3: I'm telling she might be one of the best athletes
27:42
Speaker 3: in the world. Yeah, no doubt.
27:43
Speaker 2: She's a Mott book shot is the next level technician.
27:47
Speaker 2: And you're right, probably more of a three technique, but
27:50
Speaker 2: like definitely a a offensive guard she could pull if necessary.
27:55
Speaker 3: But I'm in for the Tyler Linda Moms company. Yeah.
27:57
Speaker 1: But back to the where we start. The big schedule
28:00
Speaker 1: released tonight. Then it used to be like you had
28:02
Speaker 1: the you had the opponents and the dates basically for
28:05
Speaker 1: like five years out in college football.
28:07
Speaker 3: Now because of what's happened, like you can't and it's
28:10
Speaker 3: the TV.
28:10
Speaker 1: We're all and Billy you were saying, like you'll find
28:13
Speaker 1: the date, not the time until like three or four
28:15
Speaker 1: days before you'll find out what time kickoff is.
28:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, well even you know a few years ago you
28:18
Speaker 6: got it was like the week and the Monday before
28:21
Speaker 6: you found out for your travel plans if you were
28:23
Speaker 6: following your favorite team on the road. And now you're
28:25
Speaker 6: right now it's weak of oftentimes drew because of TV
28:28
Speaker 6: and because the Big Ten is in bed with everybody
28:30
Speaker 6: you know, well how many networks everybody, but abcbody, but
28:35
Speaker 6: ESPN and ABC yes, So it's everybody else peacock and
28:39
Speaker 6: they all have And I guess maybe Matt would want
28:43
Speaker 6: to talk about it, maybe he wouldn't. Maybe maybe Gary
28:45
Speaker 6: would be able to give me some more heads up
28:47
Speaker 6: on it. But like all of them have different veto powers, right,
28:50
Speaker 6: So like I think Fox gets we get four of
28:53
Speaker 6: your games that we decide in our big noon window.
28:56
Speaker 6: So that's why it takes so long to be able
28:58
Speaker 6: to get them get the dates out. But Drew, the
29:01
Speaker 6: funny thing is you mentioned it, like I thought we
29:03
Speaker 6: used to know the opponents for years.
29:04
Speaker 2: Oh yeah you do. Oh you still know their Big
29:07
Speaker 2: ten opponents. I'm pretty sure for the next like five
29:10
Speaker 2: to six years you'll know all their non conference games.
29:13
Speaker 3: Think you do, because now they're gonna.
29:15
Speaker 1: Start fanaggling them around to see if it's going to
29:16
Speaker 1: help you out into the playoff. But the sport asks
29:22
Speaker 1: no other sport asks more of their in person viewing
29:25
Speaker 1: public than college football, although when in person, maybe no
29:30
Speaker 1: sport is better in person than college football.
29:33
Speaker 3: I agree with that.
29:34
Speaker 6: I mean the whole atmosphere of what takes place on
29:37
Speaker 6: a college football Saturday or now Thursday, Wednesday line. Yeah, yeah,
29:43
Speaker 6: I mean just the pageantry of it all is unsurpassed.
29:45
Speaker 6: I think, I don't think there's anything better. And I
29:47
Speaker 6: love going to NFL games, but yes, it's just the
29:50
Speaker 6: experience other than clearly what the product in the field
29:53
Speaker 6: is still better, obviously, but everything else surrounding the day
29:56
Speaker 6: is better.
29:57
Speaker 3: In college football. Well, and think about it this way.
29:59
Speaker 2: You Knowdnesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, even what about a kickoff
30:03
Speaker 2: on a college football Sunday. How the Badgers will kick
30:06
Speaker 2: off this year up at lambeau Field on Sunday of
30:09
Speaker 2: late day weekend against Notre Dame.
30:10
Speaker 3: At LAMBA about that. That's right, that's the one game
30:13
Speaker 3: we know, so we do know that one. We know
30:14
Speaker 3: a couple of them.
30:15
Speaker 1: We'll find out the rest of them Western Illinois and
30:17
Speaker 1: Eastern Michigan.
30:18
Speaker 3: And Eastern Michigan.
30:19
Speaker 2: And there was going to be Pitt on the schedule,
30:21
Speaker 2: but that was one of those that kind of gets
30:23
Speaker 2: moved around because competitive ballance. Listen, we gotta make sure
30:26
Speaker 2: that we have ourselves lined up if we're one of
30:28
Speaker 2: those at large bids late into the year.
30:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, Badgers say, not laughing.
30:34
Speaker 1: You never know, come on at home this year, Badgers,
30:37
Speaker 1: Michigan State, Rutgers, Minnesota, USC the Road, Iowa, Maryland, Penn State, Purdue.
30:41
Speaker 3: And UCLA.
30:42
Speaker 6: It's better than last year, a lot better than last year.
30:45
Speaker 6: It's like they have to improve just by the schedule
30:46
Speaker 6: being this.
30:47
Speaker 3: Year, you would think so. On the road, Yeah, you
30:50
Speaker 3: gotta go to Worst Lafayette. Tough, you do have to
30:52
Speaker 3: go to the Worst Lafayette.
30:54
Speaker 2: You gotta go take on the Bruins and those thirteen
30:56
Speaker 2: thousand folks that will be watching at the roast Ball.
30:58
Speaker 3: If you're going to work Slavia.
31:00
Speaker 4: You you're going to Purdue, bring a book, bring your
31:04
Speaker 4: bring something to do.
31:05
Speaker 6: Let me tell you there's a football and basketball ross
31:09
Speaker 6: Aid Stadium.
31:10
Speaker 3: My wife will not be happy with my commentary here.
31:12
Speaker 6: There's nothing wrong with UH going to sporting events at Purdue.
31:17
Speaker 6: But you're looking for night life in West Lafia and Indiana. Oh,
31:20
Speaker 6: I hope you like the fern bar at the Handle.
31:22
Speaker 4: Oh they have a great bar. Yeah, that the bar
31:25
Speaker 4: was going crazy for the Final four. The bar there
31:28
Speaker 4: it's called like the the Neon Cactus or something that
31:31
Speaker 4: totally doesn't fit with Indiana.
31:33
Speaker 2: Well, I believe it's tonight the battle for the state
31:36
Speaker 2: of Indiana.
31:37
Speaker 3: It is Indiana. Purdue's a big game is tonight and
31:41
Speaker 3: uh and we also have Michigan Nebraska, right, Michigan.
31:43
Speaker 2: Nebraska is still unefeated. By the way, they might never
31:46
Speaker 2: lose again. Leana might actually win this game tonight. They're
31:48
Speaker 2: honoring the football team.
31:50
Speaker 3: There you go.
31:50
Speaker 1: You want you want to talk about bringing in a
31:52
Speaker 1: secret weapon, Let's bring in Kurt because we've been doing
31:55
Speaker 1: buy or cell today and you can hit us up
31:57
Speaker 1: with your buyer cell propositions eight seven, seven, seven, nine
31:59
Speaker 1: four one ninety seventy three. Throw this to the panel
32:01
Speaker 1: buying or selling that the golden age of watching sports
32:06
Speaker 1: in a sports bar is now on life support. Like
32:10
Speaker 1: that people still do it. But when you think of
32:12
Speaker 1: watching a big game is your first I'm gonna go
32:14
Speaker 1: with my buddies at the bar and get wings and stuff.
32:15
Speaker 3: I think that's that seems like a quaint thing that
32:18
Speaker 3: we used to do.
32:18
Speaker 1: Yesterday's starting to get like a little gauzy black and
32:21
Speaker 1: white filter of let's go to the bar and let's
32:23
Speaker 1: watch the game together. Do people still do that as much?
32:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm I'm buying the fact that you're right.
32:30
Speaker 3: I think I think it's peaked. I think a lot
32:33
Speaker 3: of more people of our generation drew you and me.
32:36
Speaker 6: Yeah did that that was that was what you'd give
32:38
Speaker 6: man pre internet and pre phones.
32:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, you spend all day.
32:41
Speaker 6: But yeah, I mean now with social media, with streaming,
32:45
Speaker 6: I think gen Z years are like.
32:47
Speaker 1: Nah, the one day or the one event that still
32:50
Speaker 1: draws people out is the tournament, the first weekend of
32:52
Speaker 1: the tournament.
32:53
Speaker 3: That will never change.
32:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, full day and you'll see full bars full then.
32:57
Speaker 1: But like for NFL playoff games and stuff, most people
32:59
Speaker 1: are watching at home. I got a seventy inch er,
33:02
Speaker 1: I got my own bathroom, and you also do have
33:06
Speaker 1: to know that you're gonna save that cash. But I
33:08
Speaker 1: also wonder if sports wagering. Some people thought it would
33:11
Speaker 1: take people away from the bars, the people that will
33:13
Speaker 1: go to the bars if you can get it mobilely,
33:15
Speaker 1: I think it'll continue to enhance. But it's like it's
33:18
Speaker 1: the you know, ten pole events, super Bowl, March Madness,
33:23
Speaker 1: and that might be about it, right like those probably
33:26
Speaker 1: I don't even know super Bowl. I don't even know
33:28
Speaker 1: if they have to bring on extra staff for Super
33:30
Speaker 1: Bowl anymore, because people would have parties at their house,
33:32
Speaker 1: you know, it's like house parties dominate Super Bowl Sunday.
33:35
Speaker 6: Now, I wasn't out for that Packers Bears game that
33:38
Speaker 6: was on streaming was on Amazon, but maybe that helped
33:42
Speaker 6: having it other than Milwaukee and Madison.
33:44
Speaker 3: Maybe that helped getting people into the bars because you
33:46
Speaker 3: couldn't see whatever reason. Yeah, that's true, so you're not
33:48
Speaker 3: in the local market. You had to kind of but yeah,
33:51
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know.
33:51
Speaker 2: I guess I again, I guess I'm just newer to that.
33:54
Speaker 2: Super Bowl to me is still definitely one of those
33:56
Speaker 2: that you're you're finding some somewhere to go. Like the
33:58
Speaker 2: Potawatami Sportsbook, you can get your reservations now dot Com
34:02
Speaker 2: forward Slash sports Book for their spots at the Big Game,
34:05
Speaker 2: and they have multiple different events for Big Game Sunday.
34:08
Speaker 2: If you want to be in the book, you want
34:09
Speaker 2: to be in the Anax Rock and Bruise. They got
34:11
Speaker 2: a bunch of different opportunities. Russ Douglas was there watching
34:14
Speaker 2: the UFC event.
34:16
Speaker 3: That's what's those fights.
34:17
Speaker 4: When it's the fights around it is so packed there
34:20
Speaker 4: the discussion about going out to places, you know what,
34:22
Speaker 4: there's a longer discussion we had, but we are losing
34:25
Speaker 4: those third spaces a little bit in our society. Now,
34:28
Speaker 4: third spaces you know, you have home, you have work,
34:30
Speaker 4: and the face well that specifically and that love. That
34:33
Speaker 4: term that they use third space is like the neighborhood bar,
34:36
Speaker 4: or like the church or whatever it is. We're losing
34:38
Speaker 4: those level because no one wants to go out anymore
34:40
Speaker 4: and help each other, talk to each other, connect with
34:43
Speaker 4: each other.
34:43
Speaker 3: I still have mine, the palapa at St. Paul's. Fishman.
34:48
Speaker 3: Everyone's got a spot locally, the bar that we probably
34:51
Speaker 3: have a few establishments. That's my go to sports. Your
34:58
Speaker 3: third space, that's where it should be.
34:59
Speaker 1: Adolph, do you know anything about the Register's annual Great
35:03
Speaker 1: Bicycle Ride across Iowa.
35:04
Speaker 3: It's legendary Ragbriye.
35:06
Speaker 1: Okay, so Rob said, Billy, you want to show that athleticism,
35:12
Speaker 1: do the Ragbriye.
35:13
Speaker 3: I've done four and a lot of great things to see.
35:15
Speaker 2: Rob, This boy is not I'm not claiming i athleticism
35:19
Speaker 2: at all. I'm definitely not biking across the state Iowa.

35:24
Speaker 3: they dip their This is what it was when I
35:25
Speaker 3: was growing up.
35:26
Speaker 6: They dipped their back tire of their bike in the
35:27
Speaker 6: Missouri River, and then when they finished the front tire
35:30
Speaker 6: into Thessissippi River, and all across the state. These little
35:33
Speaker 6: towns show up and throw massive parties. It's cool, and
35:36
Speaker 6: they sleep in the town parks and stuff. All these bikers,
35:38
Speaker 6: thousands of them take part in Ragby every year.
35:40
Speaker 3: It's part Okay.
35:41
Speaker 2: That sounds like a little bit better idea than it was.
35:43
Speaker 2: That sounds a lot better than I was thinking.
35:45
Speaker 3: Hey, Billy, you.
35:46
Speaker 1: Might have to go to start at baby Steps the
35:48

36:46
Speaker 1: I already have it. Oh, I'm all right.
36:49

36:52
Speaker 3: all day. He's Billy Schmid. Well, we're right back.
36:54
Speaker 1: It's the Huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin Rolling Along Tuesday
37:00
Speaker 1: edition of The Huddle. We were talking earlier about Orthopedic
37:02
Speaker 1: Associates Wisconsin. It came up organically, as it does because
37:06
Speaker 1: they provide the best care anywhere right here at home.
37:10
Speaker 1: Ortho Wisconsin dot com is the website. Check them out.
37:14
Speaker 3: Uh.
37:15
Speaker 1: Doctor Matthew Bong, friend of Billy's friend of mine. My
37:18
Speaker 1: surgeon replace my hip. Greatest move, one of the greatest
37:22
Speaker 1: decisions of my adult life. If you're suffering from any
37:25
Speaker 1: kind of injury or orthopedic malady, sore neck, back, wrist, elbow, knee,
37:30
Speaker 1: whatever it might be, ankle issues. If you've got a
37:32
Speaker 1: sports injury, go see our friends. They're the best, or
37:35
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin dot Com Ortheedic Associates Wisconsin. There is a difference.
37:39
Speaker 4: I hate to say, that's the type of the type
37:41
Speaker 4: of people we're gonna need as we get all, no
37:43
Speaker 4: doubt for sure, as I see this side of forty,
37:46
Speaker 4: it's like, oh man, Indeah.
37:48
Speaker 1: Especially if you're still trying to be active and stuff,
37:50
Speaker 1: which I encourage. But then again it comes with the
37:52
Speaker 1: downside of the nsily. If you're running forty yard dash.
37:58
Speaker 2: Forty yard dash things to happen, well, that's the bad one.
38:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. We've only been talked about that for eight years.
38:07
Speaker 3: The huddle combine would be good.
38:09
Speaker 1: I committed to not blown out my HANDI though we've
38:11
Speaker 1: got some more buying or selling, and we were also
38:13
Speaker 1: I asked Dolph if the buying or selling of the
38:15
Speaker 1: sports bar culture is yeah, way it seems like it's
38:18
Speaker 1: on life support. You know, there are other We've done
38:20
Speaker 1: a lot of things that Buffalo Wild Wings Friends of
38:22
Speaker 1: the Program, sports Book, that's a bar, but it comes with.
38:25
Speaker 3: An asterisk because of the it's different.
38:27
Speaker 1: Yea, they have an element that's not available at you know,
38:31
Speaker 1: Spanky Sports Lounge hundred percent. And while also Spankys might
38:34
Speaker 1: have something you're not allowed to have its sports but
38:37
Speaker 1: the hotel portion.
38:38
Speaker 2: But like there there's a spot where, like I think
38:40
Speaker 2: it's the best sports bar in the city, but it
38:42
Speaker 2: is a different element to it, Mike and m K.
38:45
Speaker 3: He said, Listen, bar culture for football very much still alive.
38:49
Speaker 1: My friends and I go to a new bar every
38:51
Speaker 1: Football Sunday and try and rank their wings.
38:55
Speaker 3: Love that.
38:55
Speaker 2: Now, Mike, I hate to tell you you're gonna have
38:57
Speaker 2: to give us the rankings. Gonna need your rankings of it,
39:01
Speaker 2: because that sounds a lot like what I did with
39:04
Speaker 2: the franchise at spring training Drew, where we took it
39:08
Speaker 2: upon ourselves to run through the Cactus League, not show rankings.
39:13
Speaker 2: That's so, but again, you're going in with a mission.
39:16
Speaker 2: These boys are not only just doing it for the
39:18
Speaker 2: camaraderie and the friendship. They're doing it because they have
39:20
Speaker 2: a task where actually has the best wings in the
39:24
Speaker 2: city with Milwaukee, because there's only I don't know eighty
39:27
Speaker 2: seven different places they have.
39:29
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, and everyone says these are the best. Should
39:32
Speaker 3: have said sixty seven, should have six seven six seven.
39:37
Speaker 1: Be better in our three. I'll be better. I'll be
39:39
Speaker 1: better in our three. I'm sorry, guys, I got the
39:41
Speaker 1: ultimate buyer sell for Billy. It's I'm gonna We're gonna
