- 0:47Speaker 1: Bill schmidt that son of a gun is thick and
- 0:50Speaker 1: armin sarian daddy sarian welcome to the huddle.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Here he cranks a high line drive to.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Deep right field. Felix back, a leap!
- 1:22Speaker 4: What a catch.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Freeland takes it away from Freeman.
- 1:24Speaker 1: What a battle.
- 1:25Speaker 3: How does it end?
- 1:25Speaker 2: That's what ball for. Jake Bowers is impressive at the walk.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Christian Yelich.
- 1:29Speaker 4: Lines the ball. Center field.
- 1:30Speaker 2: It's down. Hamilton's in to score the tying run. Turing
- 1:32Speaker 2: comes in behind him. Milwaukee takes the lead.
- 1:34Speaker 4: And it's Christian Yelich coming through.
- 1:46Speaker 2: And that's going to be it.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:48Speaker 3: I mean, he's fatigued.
- 1:49Speaker 2: By far the shortest start of Yoshinobu Yamamoto's postseason career.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Out of the game in the third inning.
- 1:55Speaker 3: It's a high drive to deep center. Pahez going back.
- 1:57Speaker 1: It is gone.
- 1:58Speaker 2: And it's tied again. But Charles knew it. David Hamilton
- 2:07Speaker 2: leads off the sixth and got hit by Brock Stewart.
- 2:11Speaker 2: We've already seen you put this man on. You're flirting
- 2:13Speaker 2: with trouble if you're the Dodgers.
- 2:16Speaker 4: Now the Dodgers with a throw away.
- 2:17Speaker 2: That's going to be an interference on Freddie Freeman. Hamilton
- 2:22Speaker 2: will stop at second. He was going to get second
- 2:23Speaker 2: either way. To left field.
- 2:23Speaker 5: It is down.
- 2:24Speaker 2: It's Contreras delivering again.
- 2:25Speaker 3: Lowe is back in front. Contreras has knocked in three.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Of the five.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Got him.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Four up and four down for a rebound. Hamilton floats
- 2:41Speaker 2: around right field. Tucker watches it sink in.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Hamilton on for.
- 2:43Speaker 2: The fourth time. Here goes Hamilton, first pitch, throw from Smith.
- 2:46Speaker 2: It is not in time, and Hamilton continues to be
- 2:48Speaker 2: a terror.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Terrain.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Basic center field, guys.
- 2:49Speaker 3: Terrain, 6-5-0. Time to center field.
- 2:50Speaker 1: That's got to find a home.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Terrain hits third and comes home, and a score as
- 2:53Speaker 2: Pothos kicks it. Grotefeld is loaded, 7-4.
- 3:10Speaker 5: Pin perfection from Milwaukee and a 2-0 series.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Lead over the Dodgers.
- 3:21Speaker 6: Tuesday edition of The Huddle rolling along from headquarters, 920 Milwaukee,
- 3:26Speaker 6: 1070 Madison, iHeartRadio app, Facebook, X, and YouTube for your streamers.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Appreciate everybody listening to us, no matter where you are.
- 3:33Speaker 6: And maybe you're listening to us, you know, Five in
- 3:36Speaker 6: the morning in our old slot, walking the dog.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Amen. Get ready for your day.
- 3:39Speaker 4: We appreciate y'all.
- 3:40Speaker 6: Drew Wilson, Bill Schmidt, Armin Sarian, Brewers, Dodgers. Obviously, topic A, B,
- 3:47Speaker 6: and C today. Still thinking about the Packers getting ready
- 3:49Speaker 6: for Sunday night football. We're also, you know, the rest
- 3:53Speaker 6: of the world. There were a couple of exciting games.
- 3:54Speaker 6: After the Brewers buzz started to wear off last night,
- 3:58Speaker 6: settled in and watched a pretty good Monday night football game.
- 4:01Speaker 4: Yeah, that did not disappoint, man. Holy cow. And the undefeated.
- 4:05Speaker 4: Sorry, two and three.
- 4:07Speaker 3: L.A.
- 4:07Speaker 5: Rams come in with after an L. My goodness, Drew.
- 4:12Speaker 5: I mean, that passing game is legit. I see it,
- 4:15Speaker 5: but we saw this schedule early on, and goodness gracious,
- 4:19Speaker 5: they're going to be playing from behind here in the NFC.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Drew's victory lap.
- 4:23Speaker 1: It is.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Yeah. That was your magnum opus.
- 4:26Speaker 4: It was. I just, I just, why are we, why
- 4:28Speaker 4: would you even bring that up?
- 4:30Speaker 3: Come on. Now, still the.
- 4:33Speaker 5: Odds on favorites win the super bowl at most sports books,
- 4:36Speaker 5: including the Pottawatomie sports book, our favorite one in the
- 4:40Speaker 5: whole wide world. And the one that we'll be pre-gaming
- 4:41Speaker 5: game number four at on Thursday night, Ram seven to
- 4:45Speaker 5: one bill, seven and a half to one tied with
- 4:48Speaker 5: the San Francisco 49ers.
- 4:49Speaker 3: But yeah, how do you think they're right there in
- 4:50Speaker 3: the mix? Feel about that one. You know, the Niners
- 4:53Speaker 3: are looking pretty good right now. Obviously, um, other undefeated team,
- 4:56Speaker 3: the Vikings, but no one really believes in them. Right.
- 4:59Speaker 3: It seems like, but, um, I see why. I mean,
- 5:02Speaker 3: the Rams had the talent when they put it together.
- 5:04Speaker 3: But as CJ points out on the YouTube stream, they
- 5:06Speaker 3: could be one in four. He says they should be.
- 5:08Speaker 3: I mean, you could argue that they could have won
- 5:09Speaker 3: last night. They should have won last night, too, if
- 5:12Speaker 3: they block up a field goal. So there's a lot
- 5:13Speaker 3: of ways to look at these things.
- 5:15Speaker 6: Now, also, last night, you had a pretty good game
- 5:19Speaker 6: between the Guardians and the Rays. Game one, with the
- 5:22Speaker 6: Guardians beating odds, beating the odds and the expectations of
- 5:26Speaker 6: getting off the deck and winning their series against the
- 5:29Speaker 6: White Sox. And I thought, well, they're going to be
- 5:32Speaker 6: so hung over, they're going to get blown out. And
- 5:34Speaker 6: maybe it will because you go on adrenaline in some fashion.
- 5:38Speaker 6: It's like coming off a red-eye the day after. You
- 5:42Speaker 6: flow pretty well there, and then you get hit. Yeah,
- 5:44Speaker 6: the show-and-go aspect. I've seen it a lot when baseball
- 5:47Speaker 6: teams are coming off the West Coast trip and you've
- 5:49Speaker 6: got a game the next day. It hits you the
- 5:51Speaker 6: second day, so we'll see what happens tonight.
- 5:53Speaker 4: Yeah, like doing a 5 a.m.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Show after.
- 5:54Speaker 4: Exactly. But the Guardians.
- 5:57Speaker 6: And I'm getting the sense and we're watching you watch
- 5:59Speaker 6: that series because it's high level baseball.
- 6:01Speaker 3: B.A.
- 6:01Speaker 4: 's on the call. It feels familiar.
- 6:03Speaker 6: And and not for nothing, there's a chance that the
- 6:07Speaker 6: Brewers will be firing up a week scouting a week
- 6:09Speaker 6: from Friday against the the winner of that series. I
- 6:12Speaker 6: don't think anybody around here, I haven't talked to anybody
- 6:14Speaker 6: who has a preference either way. It's like Cleveland, Tampa,
- 6:16Speaker 6: bring it on. Once you slay the Dodgers, it's like,
- 6:20Speaker 6: bring it on, whoever.
- 6:21Speaker 5: Instead, there's going to have to be the moment just like,
- 6:25Speaker 5: what was it, the Arizona-Michigan game this year in the
- 6:28Speaker 5: NCAA tournament. You do have to realize that there's going
- 6:30Speaker 5: to be a UConn saying on the other side, right?
- 6:32Speaker 5: It feels like this is the World Series you're playing
- 6:34Speaker 5: right now. Only the second NLCS, hard to believe, that
- 6:38Speaker 5: there's been two 100-win teams. Feels like this is the
- 6:42Speaker 5: toughest one to slay, and whoever's on the back end
- 6:45Speaker 5: of it, you just figure it out and try to
- 6:46Speaker 5: win four games. But until Drew last night watching the game,
- 6:50Speaker 5: I didn't have a preference. Now I do, realizing that
- 6:53Speaker 5: for a lot of Milwaukee fans and Wisconsin fans, going
- 6:56Speaker 5: to Tampa might be the easiest time to go to
- 6:58Speaker 5: the World Series.
- 6:59Speaker 4: We're taking over. They're... LCS tickets are far from sold out.
- 7:05Speaker 5: I mean, there's a lot of space in there, and
- 7:08Speaker 5: I'm seeing right now a lot of snowbirds already down
- 7:10Speaker 5: in the Tampa area. Red hot leading the charge from
- 7:13Speaker 5: the bar for brunch on the pregame. I mean, that
- 7:17Speaker 5: place could be 50-50 coming into Tampa Bay.
- 7:21Speaker 4: Here's the thing. I have a friend who's a long time.
- 7:24Speaker 6: He was a baseball guy for USA Today for years,
- 7:26Speaker 6: and he's been a sports journalist for a long time.
- 7:29Speaker 4: And he lives in he's born and raised there, but
- 7:31Speaker 4: he lives in Tampa, St.
- 7:33Speaker 5: Pete.
- 7:34Speaker 6: And he had a post about this because you saw
- 7:36Speaker 6: it in the upper reaches of the upper deck.
- 7:38Speaker 3: And I immediately went to their website.
- 7:40Speaker 4: He said, did you?
- 7:42Speaker 6: He said, dynamic pricing in sports is out of control.
- 7:46Speaker 6: Until last weekend, the Rays and MLB had the entire
- 7:49Speaker 6: upper deck at Tropicana Field priced at one hundred and
- 7:51Speaker 6: sixty five per per ticket to the ALCS. For a
- 7:55Speaker 6: part of the ballpark that's mostly been closed for 15 years. Yeah,
- 7:58Speaker 6: they tarp over it always, yeah. Having sold few tickets,
- 8:00Speaker 6: they slashed the prices over the weekend.
- 8:02Speaker 4: To $ 84. Too bad if you paid $ 165. Yikes, yeah.
- 8:05Speaker 6: They even cut some tickets to $ 41 for teachers and
- 8:08Speaker 6: first responders, which was a nice gesture.
- 8:10Speaker 3: Ouch.
- 8:11Speaker 6: When the game started, the top 15 rows of the
- 8:13Speaker 6: entire upper deck were empty. It looked like a dozen
- 8:16Speaker 6: marching bands had gotten up to take the field at
- 8:17Speaker 6: halftime of a college football game. This means that the
- 8:22Speaker 6: Rays and MLB either kept those seats exorbitantly priced or
- 8:26Speaker 6: screwed up their own dynamic pricing program and forgot to
- 8:28Speaker 6: discount those too. Fans eventually moved down into those seats,
- 8:32Speaker 6: but the Rays fell 5,000 short of selling out the
- 8:34Speaker 6: first ALCS game in St. Pete since 2008. Don't blame
- 8:38Speaker 6: the fan support or the market on this one. This
- 8:41Speaker 6: is the team and the league being short-sighted, tone deaf,
- 8:44Speaker 6: and making the simple process of buying a ticket infuriating.
- 8:47Speaker 3: And there probably is something to that, because I know
- 8:50Speaker 3: the idea is, oh, Tampa, here we go.
- 8:51Speaker 4: Tampa's not supporting.
- 8:52Speaker 3: He probably wants to protect that market, because there probably
- 8:54Speaker 3: is something to that. And it's probably an ugly process
- 8:57Speaker 3: when they don't usually sell the tickets, and they are.
- 8:59Speaker 3: The list of attendance last night was 35, 361. Now,
- 9:03Speaker 3: I think when they open it all up, it's 42, right?
- 9:06Speaker 3: But then when they don't tarp it like normal, they
- 9:08Speaker 3: only do it for special, special events.
- 9:10Speaker 4: It's 25.
- 9:10Speaker 6: So the flip side of that, I was talking to
- 9:13Speaker 6: somebody who said, yeah, the Dodgers don't even sell out
- 9:15Speaker 6: their stadium. Do you see that that series they had
- 9:17Speaker 6: against the Braves? I'm like, well, wait a minute.
- 9:19Speaker 3: There's 109.
- 9:20Speaker 4: Those empty seats were on the surface of the sun. Yeah,
- 9:23Speaker 4: it was 104.
- 9:24Speaker 6: And those seats were in the upper deck as close
- 9:27Speaker 6: as you can get to the sun there.
- 9:28Speaker 4: And it was roasting.
- 9:30Speaker 6: I don't know how many people that would have the
- 9:32Speaker 6: Constitution to sit in those seats forever.
- 9:34Speaker 4: More than an inning.
- 9:35Speaker 5: Yeah right now though you go on for game three
- 9:39Speaker 5: of the nlcs uh at dodger stadium ton of tickets.
- 9:43Speaker 3: To see bobby gasser well they have 50 remember they
- 9:46Speaker 3: see 56,000 56,000 and they sell it out every night
- 9:49Speaker 3: right so you're right clearly not i mean i was
- 9:52Speaker 3: gonna say during the regular season they definitely don't but
- 9:56Speaker 3: and here's the thing like there is in that market
- 9:59Speaker 3: they're a lot of people, a lot of Dodgers fans
- 10:01Speaker 3: don't live in LA. Well, they've also been their fan
- 10:04Speaker 3: base and they've been to the, the, the rodeo several times,
- 10:08Speaker 3: a ton of times. Yeah.
- 10:09Speaker 4: Third straight time. By the way, we're relit.
- 10:12Speaker 6: We are reliving a Contreras is home run now watching
- 10:15Speaker 6: the trot for the ages as they replay it on
- 10:18Speaker 6: MLB network here in the studio. But those fans, you know,
- 10:22Speaker 6: the Dodgers fans. So it was hot at that game.
- 10:25Speaker 6: And if that 2-0 is a chilling effect.
- 10:30Speaker 3: Oh, big time.
- 10:30Speaker 4: It's like, oh, they're down 2-0. Well, then it's not
- 10:32Speaker 4: worth our effort.
- 10:33Speaker 5: I mean, down the line, fifth row, $ 290. Like a
- 10:38Speaker 5: full rose available at Dodgers Stadium for this upcoming game.
- 10:42Speaker 4: There's cheaper than you'll find at AmFam.
- 10:44Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 10:44Speaker 5: I mean, people were people were paying 200 easy to
- 10:47Speaker 5: get into the upper level. So, I mean, listen, you
- 10:49Speaker 5: got to be Hunter Baumgart and fly out to L.A.,
- 10:51Speaker 5: but it wouldn't be a bad idea. Hunters me joining
- 10:54Speaker 5: us with boots on the ground for these games. But
- 10:56Speaker 5: there's there's a lot of tickets available. And you're right, Drew.
- 10:59Speaker 5: The chilling effect is real. And I am fascinated to
- 11:03Speaker 5: see if the Brewers were to win tomorrow night. And
- 11:08Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, they're a wolf pack of
- 11:10Speaker 5: badgers descending upon Pasadena, California, and a large contingent of
- 11:16Speaker 5: folks that are reaching over there to go to the
- 11:18Speaker 5: Rose Bowl on Saturday night. There might be a decent
- 11:21Speaker 5: amount of Wisconsin folks already planning on being out near L.A.
- 11:25Speaker 5: that are going to be capitalizing and going to these
- 11:27Speaker 5: next couple of years.
- 11:28Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 11:29Speaker 4: And a lot of people, this dynamic pricing is so interesting.
- 11:32Speaker 3: The way the market works now is because the commodity
- 11:35Speaker 3: of a ticket is basically predicting human behavior.
- 11:38Speaker 4: And human trends. And that's so true.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Like our Dodger fans, like, you know, chilled out by
- 11:43Speaker 3: this to all deficit or are.
- 11:45Speaker 4: They just like we've been there or are they.
- 11:47Speaker 3: Waiting for tickets to, you know, just to see how
- 11:49Speaker 3: low they can get them or you're right, Billy. Will
- 11:51Speaker 3: the will the possibility of clinching there? bringing influx of
- 11:54Speaker 3: people there. It's funny. I was talking to my dad
- 11:57Speaker 3: about this. Usually it used to be the ticket prices
- 12:00Speaker 3: were generally fixed, right? Except for like street scalpers. And
- 12:04Speaker 3: it was all about time and commitment. You just had
- 12:06Speaker 3: to wait in line long enough to get the price
- 12:08Speaker 3: or to get the ticket at the price. Now it's
- 12:10Speaker 3: a money commitment. You don't have to do any of that.
- 12:12Speaker 3: You just have to be willing to pay up that
- 12:13Speaker 3: whatever the market's going to change to. as Brewer fans
- 12:17Speaker 3: are starting to talk about the next round of what
- 12:18Speaker 3: World Series tickets might cost. It's very interesting to see it.
- 12:22Speaker 1: You're right.
- 12:22Speaker 3: I mean, it might be cheaper to go there and
- 12:24Speaker 3: buy a ticket and come back. Now, what was the
- 12:27Speaker 3: super special golden ticket? The golden ticket, when they sold
- 12:31Speaker 3: that ticket, and I want to blank it out. I
- 12:33Speaker 3: believe it was $ 1, 000. $ 1, 000, and you were guaranteed a
- 12:36Speaker 3: seat to any game. How about that? How many people
- 12:38Speaker 3: were sitting around with that ticket waiting to redeem it?
- 12:41Speaker 3: I don't know if there are any, and I don't
- 12:43Speaker 3: know what the deal is, but I'm just curious to
- 12:45Speaker 3: know if anyone else is thinking about that.
- 12:46Speaker 4: They released that. They sold at least 500 or so
- 12:49Speaker 4: when they, when they put it out.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:51Speaker 5: Now I know they, they released the number that they
- 12:53Speaker 5: actually sold when they did.
- 12:54Speaker 3: Now, if you bought it just for the plaque and
- 12:56Speaker 3: just for the, cause you don't pick the seat they
- 12:58Speaker 3: pick for you. They could give you, I'm sure SRO
- 13:00Speaker 3: or they can give you. And then it's like, do
- 13:02Speaker 3: you do it for game one?
- 13:03Speaker 4: Do you wait till game seven?
- 13:05Speaker 3: Do you not do it? You know what I mean?
- 13:06Speaker 4: Or are some redeemed already?
- 13:08Speaker 3: For last year's NLCS or 18 Game 7. Or Father's Day.
- 13:13Speaker 3: A lot of possibilities. I don't know. Maybe you laid
- 13:17Speaker 3: it in there for a certain day. You wanted to
- 13:18Speaker 3: make sure you were in there.
- 13:19Speaker 5: I would be interested because right now, at the Trop,
- 13:23Speaker 5: they have theirs on sale for the next round. Again,
- 13:27Speaker 5: looking ahead, like Armin said, you mentioned fans don't have
- 13:30Speaker 5: to wait. Fans don't have to dare to dream.
- 13:32Speaker 4: Unless you believe in the jinx and all that.
- 13:34Speaker 5: About $ 400, $ 500 for an upper-level World Series ticket. You
- 13:38Speaker 5: pay $ 1, 000 for that golden ticket, and that's where they
- 13:40Speaker 5: see you. Armin would be losing his mind, Drew. He
- 13:43Speaker 5: would be furious with that one.
- 13:46Speaker 4: I got a bunch of fans today. I got a
- 13:47Speaker 4: bunch of buddies.
- 13:48Speaker 3: Basically 1,000, 1,200 for terrace level. I mean, that's what
- 13:52Speaker 3: people are looking at right now. It will be glorious
- 13:54Speaker 3: to be there again. Are you kidding me? I mean, goodness.
- 13:57Speaker 4: I can't imagine.
- 13:58Speaker 3: I think that's everybody's looking at it in Milwaukee. Like,
- 14:00Speaker 3: we've never done it. We've been waiting for this moment.
- 14:02Speaker 3: We look at it. A lot of us are looking
- 14:04Speaker 3: at this as a, you know, we wait forever, break
- 14:07Speaker 3: the bank once in a lifetime, and that will drive
- 14:10Speaker 3: those prices up, you know? Yeah.
- 14:12Speaker 6: And then what's the effective? And again, I don't want
- 14:15Speaker 6: to jinx anything. What's the effective game?
- 14:17Speaker 3: Six.
- 14:18Speaker 6: Then this is unnecessary, and then people have money to roll.
- 14:23Speaker 4: Oh, for sure.
- 14:25Speaker 6: The investors in games 6 and 7 in the NLCS,
- 14:27Speaker 6: if those games are deemed not necessary by a Brewers
- 14:29Speaker 6: winning and not having to come back, there's a lot
- 14:32Speaker 6: of money to be spent on World Series, which would then,
- 14:35Speaker 6: the ticket prices will inflate heavily, so maybe now's the
- 14:38Speaker 6: time to jump on World Series tickets because that glut
- 14:41Speaker 6: of money is going to, the economics tell me, I
- 14:45Speaker 6: only took Econ 103, but I think that would tell
- 14:47Speaker 6: me that demand will go up and people.
- 14:50Speaker 4: Will have cash.
- 14:51Speaker 5: You are spot on. They have not released when they're
- 14:53Speaker 5: going to put it out yet. So you can still buy, obviously,
- 14:56Speaker 5: your season tickets going forward.
- 14:58Speaker 6: Season ticket holders can buy.
- 14:59Speaker 3: That, yeah.
- 15:00Speaker 5: But the pre-sale, like the Wisconsin pre-sale, which ended up
- 15:03Speaker 5: being when they ended up releasing season tickets for both rounds,
- 15:07Speaker 5: that one has not been released.
- 15:08Speaker 4: I would assume probably in the next couple of days.
- 15:10Speaker 3: It will be.
- 15:11Speaker 4: You know, it's like you run the risk.
- 15:12Speaker 3: It's like you run the risk of waiting for it
- 15:14Speaker 3: to drop or could go up. a buddy told me
- 15:17Speaker 3: he could have bought the whole playoff strip for basically
- 15:19Speaker 3: the same price as what he bought his game six
- 15:21Speaker 3: tickets for.
- 15:22Speaker 4: And he's now, this would be game six of the
- 15:24Speaker 4: world series.
- 15:24Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Uh, and he's, and he's basically regretting not
- 15:27Speaker 3: getting the strip. Well, Brewers love to hear that because
- 15:29Speaker 3: now every time now people are thinking, I better just
- 15:32Speaker 3: get the playoff strip now for all the games. And then,
- 15:35Speaker 3: you know, then you sell your tickets, then you have
- 15:37Speaker 3: credit for the season ticket holders. You kind of lock
- 15:39Speaker 3: them in. So, um, it's an exciting time for sure
- 15:43Speaker 3: to be a Brewers fan.
- 15:43Speaker 4: You guys, uh, Here's one for you.
- 15:46Speaker 6: You guys missed it by a generation, but there was
- 15:49Speaker 6: a time when they would offer media tickets.
- 15:53Speaker 4: They'd send a.
- 15:54Speaker 5: Little email to people in the media.
- 15:57Speaker 6: Not a credential, but if you worked in media like
- 16:00Speaker 6: our jobs, they offered you a chance to buy two,
- 16:03Speaker 6: and you had to buy them at face, but Hell yeah.
- 16:07Speaker 4: That would have been like man. It was a courtesy.
- 16:09Speaker 3: They did.
- 16:09Speaker 4: Now we don't get those. Screw the media. We don't
- 16:12Speaker 4: need you anymore. We haven't even got one of those
- 16:14Speaker 4: sweet sweatshirts.
- 16:15Speaker 3: That's true.
- 16:16Speaker 4: Now a shirt or something.
- 16:17Speaker 6: I need to remind our pal Leslie from the Brewers
- 16:20Speaker 6: that we are in the afternoons. Now we're still doing shows.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Yeah. Those box bags.
- 16:24Speaker 4: Pretty sweet.
- 16:25Speaker 5: I don't know that we can do the full John
- 16:26Speaker 5: Gruden unboxing video, but I think we'd put something pretty
- 16:29Speaker 5: solid together.
- 16:30Speaker 3: I'll take something. I won't resell it. I promise. I'll
- 16:33Speaker 3: wear it. For sure. Yeah, for sure.
- 16:36Speaker 6: 877-794-1973, nicolaylaw.com, talk and text line. While we're here and
- 16:41Speaker 6: thinking about it, let's give a shout out to Saz
- 16:44Speaker 6: and the folks at Saz. We had a good day
- 16:45Speaker 6: there yesterday. Armin, sorry you missed out. We didn't save
- 16:47Speaker 6: you any pork belly or tenderloin sliders. You know what, though?
- 16:51Speaker 3: I felt your presence anyway, guys.
- 16:53Speaker 4: I felt like I was there.
- 16:54Speaker 6: It was great hanging out with Saz. Wojo from the
- 16:55Speaker 6: Admirals dropped by. We talked to a lot of people.
- 16:57Speaker 6: I got a message from a fellow who was like,
- 17:00Speaker 6: I wanted to talk to you, but you were on
- 17:01Speaker 6: the air. Oh, wait for the shuttle. Yeah, he was
- 17:04Speaker 6: waiting for the shuttle. I'm like, oh, you should have
- 17:05Speaker 6: interrupted us. It's not like we're doing anything that important.
- 17:08Speaker 4: No, 100%.
- 17:08Speaker 5: Got to see my man Stein, head baseball coach over
- 17:11Speaker 5: at Carroll U.
- 17:12Speaker 4: He was out there.
- 17:13Speaker 5: He's not even a Brewers fan. He was taking it in.
- 17:15Speaker 5: He's like, I can't miss this kind of atmosphere. You
- 17:17Speaker 5: got me messed up if you think I'm missing this one.
- 17:19Speaker 5: As he's a transplant from St.
- 17:21Speaker 3: Louis.
- 17:22Speaker 4: But he was very open to being able to cheer
- 17:24Speaker 4: for the crew against the L.A.
- 17:25Speaker 3: Dodgers.
- 17:26Speaker 5: It was packed there yesterday, Drew. And I mean, listen,
- 17:29Speaker 5: catching the fever. Saz was catching the fever yesterday.
- 17:32Speaker 3: That's awesome.
- 17:33Speaker 5: You could tell for a group that generally not even
- 17:36Speaker 5: open really on Mondays for any kind of traffic, them
- 17:39Speaker 5: to be open and busted open a little bit different
- 17:42Speaker 5: for the shuttle. That's playoff baseball, baby. And it was quick.
- 17:46Speaker 5: People realizing, yep, we're going to be over at Saz.
- 17:49Speaker 4: And when you're around Saz himself, it's like being around this, like,
- 17:51Speaker 4: a legend. He's truly the finest. He is the finest.
- 17:54Speaker 3: There's no doubt.
- 17:55Speaker 4: CJ on YouTube, you guys need to do every show
- 17:56Speaker 4: of Saz's non-brewers game day.
- 17:58Speaker 3: Hey, I don't make the rules. Hey, man.
- 17:59Speaker 4: Hey, if it works.
- 18:00Speaker 3: If it works, it works. We're there, man.
- 18:02Speaker 4: I'm not going to argue it, especially if they got
- 18:04Speaker 4: more seat cushions. Yeah. They found some old collectible.
- 18:08Speaker 5: The old school Saz's brewer color foam seat cushions.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Oh, like... Oh, like the ones that go at the games?
- 18:16Speaker 3: That you bring to the game. Oh, for the bleacher seats?
- 18:20Speaker 3: It said, put your finest on the finest. It was great.
- 18:24Speaker 5: And it was the finest. That's frame-worthy, one of those.
- 18:27Speaker 5: That patio was phenomenal. It was roasting yesterday in that
- 18:30Speaker 5: heat dome. But I'll tell you what was nice and cool.
- 18:34Speaker 5: My bum, my finest, was phenomenal yesterday sitting on that thing.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Well, isn't it amazing? We had this glorious, unusual, I
- 18:41Speaker 3: don't know if you call it Indian summer, but these
- 18:42Speaker 3: warm days, and we've Some people would still find a
- 18:44Speaker 3: way to complain about it was too hot last night
- 18:46Speaker 3: at the game.
- 18:47Speaker 4: It was so unusual. Yeah, it was like 80 degrees.
- 18:49Speaker 5: As the folks that one of the folks that carries
- 18:52Speaker 5: the flag for October, it does need to chill out
- 18:55Speaker 5: just a tick.
- 18:56Speaker 2: Pause.
- 18:56Speaker 3: No, I mean, I pause like literally you're saying chill out. Yeah,
- 18:59Speaker 3: you just got to calm down just a little bit.
- 19:02Speaker 3: 86 needs to be 76. And that's perfect fall. That's perfect.
- 19:05Speaker 3: October hot day. Indeed. 86.
- 19:07Speaker 5: A little bit tough on it. What's the text line
- 19:11Speaker 5: running up here? Is that what you're staring at here?
- 19:13Speaker 5: There's just a couple of them, yep. I'm going to
- 19:14Speaker 5: try to get you guys in here.
- 19:15Speaker 3: A lot of good ones, and everyone welcoming us to
- 19:18Speaker 3: our second day, the 4 a.m. of the afternoon. We're
- 19:20Speaker 3: glad you all traveled with the Steve's video experience. I'm
- 19:23Speaker 3: going to check out that experience sometime. While Bill might
- 19:25Speaker 3: be the MVP of the series, guys, I mean, maybe.
- 19:28Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of good options, and that's
- 19:30Speaker 3: what's so exciting about this. Hard to even just say
- 19:32Speaker 3: might be. I think he's for sure.
- 19:34Speaker 4: He's in the mix for sure. Ian Ashby, I want
- 19:36Speaker 4: to say, could be.
- 19:37Speaker 3: I mean, I wouldn't.
- 19:38Speaker 5: Well, even going forward, I think Contreras this past weekend
- 19:42Speaker 5: was 25 or 30 to one to win World Series MVP.
- 19:47Speaker 5: He's now 11 to one right behind Jose Ramirez for
- 19:50Speaker 5: odds on winner.
- 19:51Speaker 4: That's a guy that's pretty scary.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Yes.
- 19:53Speaker 3: You get to the next round.
- 19:55Speaker 5: The two cats that did it last night for the
- 19:58Speaker 5: Guardians were their main guys, right? The lauder, their rookie
- 20:01Speaker 5: and Ramirez, each with three knocks. their top of the
- 20:04Speaker 5: lineups legit and it would be apropos for both of
- 20:09Speaker 5: them to be the teams that meet back-to-back managers of
- 20:12Speaker 5: the year on the national league and american league side
- 20:15Speaker 5: vote and uh vote and murph i wanted to ask
- 20:17Speaker 5: uh rock about this i'll make sure to put it
- 20:19Speaker 5: in later you think about it drew how for a
- 20:23Speaker 5: while it felt like baseball was trending towards the man
- 20:26Speaker 5: managers don't really matter Like all these decisions are kind
- 20:29Speaker 5: of pre-made. We got it listed out. Our analytics department
- 20:32Speaker 5: tells us when we're going to watch which guy that
- 20:34Speaker 5: guy is not as important. Those two dudes would completely
- 20:38Speaker 5: flip that narrative on its head. And yesterday you mentioned
- 20:41Speaker 5: it with the Freddie Freeman moment. Like that's the exact
- 20:45Speaker 5: thing that no analytic can quantify being able to go
- 20:49Speaker 5: and figure out when I can freeze the game for
- 20:51Speaker 5: about a minute and a half. and go and calm
- 20:53Speaker 5: this thing down, be able to rip a joke with
- 20:55Speaker 5: the first baseman so I don't get kicked out of
- 20:56Speaker 5: here with the umpire.
- 20:57Speaker 3: And the trainer talking to Hamilton.
- 20:59Speaker 5: That ability is something that, for a long time, was
- 21:02Speaker 5: celebrated with managers. It feels like it's really overlooked in
- 21:05Speaker 5: today's game.
- 21:05Speaker 4: Right.
- 21:07Speaker 3: 100%.
- 21:07Speaker 4: No question about it.
- 21:08Speaker 3: Hit us up, 877-794-1973.
- 21:09Speaker 4: You are in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 21:19Speaker 6: Back on the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, Drew Billy
- 21:21Speaker 6: and Armin bringing it to you, basking in the glow
- 21:23Speaker 6: of the Brewers 2-0 lead against the Dodgers.
- 21:25Speaker 4: Game three tomorrow night on the West Coast. Get a
- 21:28Speaker 4: little break today.
- 21:29Speaker 6: Is there anything happening sports-wise tonight other than the Guardians
- 21:33Speaker 6: and Rays game two?
- 21:34Speaker 5: Other than that, can I interest you in Delaware against
- 21:38Speaker 5: Middle Tennessee?
- 21:39Speaker 1: Yes.
- 21:40Speaker 4: I'm not, I'm not enough of a degenerate to.
- 21:42Speaker 5: Florida international against Jacksonville state.
- 21:45Speaker 3: Trigger trigger trigger.
- 21:46Speaker 5: Um, maybe some preseason NBA of the, uh, calves and magic.
- 21:52Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:52Speaker 4: I think I'll just hockey. Isn't there hockey?
- 21:54Speaker 3: There's some, there's some NHL.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:56Speaker 3: Yeah. No doubt.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:57Speaker 5: You could, you could check out those sabers and Canadians.
- 21:59Speaker 5: I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do, Drew.
- 22:01Speaker 5: And I've already got it planned out in Vegas and
- 22:03Speaker 5: the Preds later on tonight. Um, I'm dialing in, sitting
- 22:06Speaker 5: back and watching a little bit more of Packers and Bears.
- 22:09Speaker 5: I've watched ticks, ticks in piece, bits and pieces of
- 22:13Speaker 5: the all 22. It's pretty fun. If you want to
- 22:16Speaker 5: watch Jordan love, it's pretty fun. If you only want
- 22:19Speaker 5: to watch where the football goes, because it kind of
- 22:21Speaker 5: goes to the right guy every single time. But I
- 22:24Speaker 5: do want to fully in vibe one last time in
- 22:28Speaker 5: that victory, because I don't know that with the Brewers excitement,
- 22:33Speaker 5: rightfully so. I don't know that I fully understand. enjoyed
- 22:36Speaker 5: the fact enough that after eight months of making it
- 22:41Speaker 5: their carpe diem, seize the moment, take the North and
- 22:44Speaker 5: never give it back. Their first opportunity to do that
- 22:48Speaker 5: in the NFC North this year, the Bears.
- 22:51Speaker 4: Scored six points.
- 22:53Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
- 22:53Speaker 4: Against Carson Wentz and the Minnesota Vikings at home.
- 22:57Speaker 3: Their second time being able to take the North back
- 23:00Speaker 3: and never take it away and never give it back.
- 23:04Speaker 4: They got pantsed.
- 23:06Speaker 3: 31-7. And they couldn't even chant Green Bay sucks, even
- 23:10Speaker 3: though there were a number of different Illinois plates. As
- 23:13Speaker 3: good as it gets. Driving up to Lambeau Field. Drew
- 23:17Speaker 3: and I are driving up Armin on Sunday. Yeah. And
- 23:20Speaker 3: what did I say to you?
- 23:21Speaker 4: I thought, this might be 50-50. Like, I'm nervous.
- 23:25Speaker 5: I'm nervous how many Bears fans are going to be
- 23:27Speaker 5: in there. I thought it was going to be worse
- 23:29Speaker 5: than the Honolulu blue wave that came through Lambeau a
- 23:32Speaker 5: couple of years ago on that Thursday night. It was
- 23:34Speaker 5: like 35%. Packers got beat up, and they were chanting,
- 23:39Speaker 5: let's go Lions all night long. And instead, he just
- 23:43Speaker 5: obliterated him and sucked the life out of him to
- 23:45Speaker 5: the point where Ben Johnson couldn't even say good game
- 23:48Speaker 5: or see on Christmas on the handshake.
- 23:50Speaker 4: Drew, he was mute. So I do.
- 23:53Speaker 5: Think I need to sit back on my couch and
- 23:55Speaker 5: fully enjoy what transpired on Sunday.
- 23:58Speaker 4: That's not bad.
- 23:59Speaker 5: Because that's a pretty good reminder as to where the
- 24:02Speaker 5: NFC North could be.
- 24:03Speaker 3: That is one of those masterpieces you got to enjoy.
- 24:05Speaker 3: It's like when you really feel like you cut the
- 24:07Speaker 3: lawn right in. You just got to look at it
- 24:08Speaker 3: for a little bit longer and take another lap around
- 24:11Speaker 3: and ask people if they saw it. That is just
- 24:14Speaker 3: that feeling. It wasn't fluky. It wasn't an ugly. It
- 24:18Speaker 3: was just the most glorious. And the fact that the
- 24:21Speaker 3: way the Packers did it by finding a weakness, exploiting
- 24:24Speaker 3: it over and over again, just absolutely just throwing daggers
- 24:29Speaker 3: into their heart after every time. You know, LaFleur just
- 24:33Speaker 3: absolutely took. That whiny guy, Ben Johnson to the woodshed,
- 24:37Speaker 3: it was glorious.
- 24:38Speaker 6: There's a lot of talk in LeFleur. He downplayed it,
- 24:43Speaker 6: took the Denny Green high road. He was like, eh,
- 24:46Speaker 6: it's about us. He has never bought, and some people
- 24:50Speaker 6: were ripping him for that.
- 24:52Speaker 4: Very much so, yes.
- 24:53Speaker 6: A lot of panelists and former players and stuff, the
- 24:56Speaker 6: media pundit class.
- 24:57Speaker 4: Wanted him to get more mad.
- 24:58Speaker 6: They wanted him to get more mad and say, no,
- 25:00Speaker 6: screw you, you're in our house. But then he just
- 25:02Speaker 6: let the game go.
- 25:04Speaker 4: Do the talking.
- 25:06Speaker 6: And that was an interesting part, but you did feel
- 25:08Speaker 6: a rumbling billion. There was a rumbling that the players
- 25:13Speaker 6: kind of felt like they had his back and the
- 25:14Speaker 6: players wanted to, especially like the Luther burden thing. And
- 25:17Speaker 6: like that totally agree that players wanted to Cape up
- 25:20Speaker 6: and maybe, maybe I'm sure it was probably something like, Hey,
- 25:24Speaker 6: It's about don't say anything about them. Don't don't even
- 25:26Speaker 6: do it. Let's just take care of it on the field.
- 25:28Speaker 6: But it was an undercurrent big time.
- 25:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:31Speaker 5: And it's one of those where hearing from the guys
- 25:33Speaker 5: that are there all, you know, every single day, you
- 25:36Speaker 5: could almost feel that they could sense a little bit
- 25:39Speaker 5: more mounting optimism and belief that way. But the other
- 25:42Speaker 5: part of it is, Drew, like. How many times last year,
- 25:46Speaker 5: especially against Chicago, were you wondering for somebody to be?
- 25:50Speaker 5: I mean, the badass is kind of the easier stated
- 25:53Speaker 5: way of saying it, but the vocal leader on the
- 25:55Speaker 5: field that can somewhat calm something down or rile everybody up.
- 26:00Speaker 5: And it appears they might just have that in Zaire
- 26:02Speaker 5: Franklin because his play on the field has not been great.
- 26:06Speaker 5: Like you go back and watch that Atlanta game, not tape.
- 26:09Speaker 5: You want to watch for Zaire Franklin. He missed a
- 26:11Speaker 5: lot of tackles in that game. He has been maybe
- 26:13Speaker 5: not the most assignment sound throughout the entire year. Pro
- 26:17Speaker 5: football focus probably doesn't love his grade, but the one
- 26:20Speaker 5: thing they can't grade is the fact that they needed some,
- 26:22Speaker 5: they needed some more adults in the room. And that's
- 26:25Speaker 5: not saying that they had guys that were stepping out
- 26:28Speaker 5: of bounds or being late or not, you know, doing
- 26:32Speaker 5: the right professional things. But I do believe, Drew, that
- 26:34Speaker 5: there's a confidence that that guy has, a swagger that
- 26:38Speaker 5: they desperately needed to add to that group. And I
- 26:41Speaker 5: think you heard him being able to be the one
- 26:43Speaker 5: that spouted off about Burden after the game, that he
- 26:47Speaker 5: was one of the guys that said, fellas, we'll be
- 26:49Speaker 5: able to chirp after. Tucker Kraft said, we'll let our
- 26:51Speaker 5: pads do the talking. And they did want, though. And
- 26:54Speaker 5: you do need somebody to be able to vocalize. And
- 26:56Speaker 5: I was glad I was glad Zaire Franklin decided, hey, man,
- 27:00Speaker 5: I'll be your guy. from our seats, we could see
- 27:02Speaker 5: pockets of people wearing orange.
- 27:04Speaker 6: It was like in different, like about 10 sections over
- 27:07Speaker 6: the orange, orange, orange smatterings.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Yep.
- 27:09Speaker 4: You're right.
- 27:09Speaker 6: But we saw a lot of Illinois plates on the
- 27:10Speaker 6: way up and they were quiet because the Packers were
- 27:13Speaker 6: up 14 to nothing.
- 27:13Speaker 3: Right.
- 27:14Speaker 4: So it was, they were on their hands and didn't
- 27:16Speaker 4: have much to cheer about throughout the day. The TV
- 27:18Speaker 4: copy had a good shot of old boy with his
- 27:20Speaker 4: head in his hands.
- 27:20Speaker 3: Just looking. Yeah.
- 27:22Speaker 4: It was a great shot.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Tennessee guy from the 55, nothing game years and years ago.
- 27:27Speaker 6: And then I saw a number of pictures of guys, um,
- 27:30Speaker 6: at tailgates dressed as Ditka, as you often see. That
- 27:33Speaker 6: was a tribute. So the guys were dressed as Ditka.
- 27:36Speaker 6: And I'm with you, Billy. I thought it would be
- 27:39Speaker 6: a lot more. And then I guess maybe it's the
- 27:41Speaker 6: events of the game that there was no.
- 27:43Speaker 3: Could have been.
- 27:44Speaker 6: And now, Armin, to use one of your favorite words,
- 27:47Speaker 6: was Bears Nation guilty of hubris in that, oh, we
- 27:52Speaker 6: can beat these. We beat them the last couple of times.
- 27:53Speaker 6: We can beat them. We play great with our backup quarterback.
- 27:56Speaker 6: I saw Danny Parkins and one of the Fox Sports
- 27:59Speaker 6: panelist guys. saying that, you know, I expect him to
- 28:04Speaker 6: outplay Jordan.
- 28:05Speaker 4: He's got the better coach. He's got a dunce. He's
- 28:07Speaker 4: got Loveland. He's got a running game. He's got a
- 28:09Speaker 4: better offensive line. He's got, you know, well yeah where that.
- 28:14Speaker 5: Would meet because you might have roma dunzey congratulations we
- 28:17Speaker 5: actually have a guy that actually hit in the first
- 28:19Speaker 5: round and right is turning out to be one of
- 28:21Speaker 5: the better wide receivers in the league right now and
- 28:23Speaker 5: matthew gold.
- 28:23Speaker 6: And that and your take on them being a top
- 28:26Speaker 6: tandem is not far off either because the numbers are
- 28:28Speaker 6: putting up i was wondering like even though they have
- 28:31Speaker 6: a dedicated group now instead of this by committee thing
- 28:33Speaker 6: they've been doing about pascal beers okay so who's their
- 28:36Speaker 6: thousand yard guy is it going to be craft is
- 28:38Speaker 6: it going to be Watson. Well, it looks like it's
- 28:40Speaker 6: gonna be Watson golden and maybe craft too. I was
- 28:42Speaker 6: gonna say it might be all three.
- 28:43Speaker 5: It looks like they're very much drew gonna be in
- 28:45Speaker 5: the in the running to have 2000 yard receivers and
- 28:48Speaker 5: to start the year. I don't know anybody in their
- 28:50Speaker 5: wildest dreams plan that they would especially with how bad
- 28:53Speaker 5: the offensive line was through three games. It's like this
- 28:55Speaker 5: is now even more. There was Jordan loves first year 2023.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Correct.
- 29:01Speaker 4: I just want to make sure I have the timing
- 29:02Speaker 4: right 2023.
- 29:03Speaker 3: Yeah, they played.
- 29:05Speaker 5: They played Dallas on a Sunday three 25 kick. It
- 29:12Speaker 5: is the McCarthy Rogers reunion. Remember McCarthy comes out in
- 29:16Speaker 5: the peacoat walks out, has the big Lombardi feel and
- 29:20Speaker 5: Him and Rogers had the nice moment in the broom
- 29:23Speaker 5: closet they talked about. The Packers went out through for
- 29:25Speaker 5: four touchdowns and roundhouse the Cowboys. They had just broken
- 29:30Speaker 5: their losing streak, which had lasted 42 days a couple
- 29:33Speaker 5: of days prior to or had lasted about three or
- 29:36Speaker 5: four weeks prior to that.
- 29:38Speaker 3: And then they got.
- 29:40Speaker 5: Tennessee on a Thursday night and it's like, okay, now
- 29:42Speaker 5: you got to, Stamp your rival. Now you got to
- 29:45Speaker 5: validate exactly what you did. Just like Wisconsin against Michigan
- 29:49Speaker 5: state a couple of weeks ago. Now you got to
- 29:50Speaker 5: validate that win and make sure it's for real because
- 29:53Speaker 5: they're going to get drew a lot of talk this week.
- 29:57Speaker 5: They're going to be a lot of team, a lot
- 29:58Speaker 5: of people at the national desk saying it.
- 30:01Speaker 4: They might have just weathered the storm. They might be
- 30:03Speaker 4: on the other side of this thing.
- 30:05Speaker 5: They might be a sneaky team to be able to
- 30:08Speaker 5: go on a run late into the year. Look at
- 30:10Speaker 5: all these great numbers that they have underlying in the
- 30:12Speaker 5: past game. Now you got to be able to validate
- 30:14Speaker 5: it and beat a wounded animal that's coming in here
- 30:17Speaker 5: a little bit more rested and very embarrassed. Dallas is,
- 30:21Speaker 5: after the way they got it taken to on Thursday night.
- 30:24Speaker 4: And that's the thing.
- 30:24Speaker 3: You feel great after this game, and that's fine, and
- 30:26Speaker 3: that's wonderful. But you also played one out of five
- 30:30Speaker 3: games really well.
- 30:31Speaker 4: So can you do it again?
- 30:32Speaker 3: You have to make it who you are, a trend,
- 30:35Speaker 3: not just an outlier.
- 30:36Speaker 4: That's the question.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Can they do it? You like to think so, but
- 30:39Speaker 3: if they want to turn this thing around, yes, it's
- 30:41Speaker 3: the next step of doing it again.
- 30:43Speaker 4: Welcome to the afternoon, boys. This is on the talking
- 30:45Speaker 4: text line.
- 30:45Speaker 5: Not having to listen to a dank Bears and Cubs
- 30:47Speaker 5: fan on Madison Airwaves is a welcome change. Well, listen,
- 30:51Speaker 5: we are glad that everybody is able to find us
- 30:53Speaker 5: throughout the afternoon. There's a lot of rides home that
- 30:56Speaker 5: are going to be made a lot better now.
- 30:59Speaker 3: I'm not going.
- 31:00Speaker 5: To toot our own horn here, Drew, but I'll Timmy
- 31:03Speaker 5: Trumpets and blow this thing and let everybody understand. Your
- 31:07Speaker 5: afternoons are going to be a lot more fun driving
- 31:09Speaker 5: home at this point. No question. These four hours where
- 31:12Speaker 5: you're going to be able to consume us and some
- 31:14Speaker 5: local content, get used to it. Even though our boy
- 31:17Speaker 5: Tommy and Stalis did have a... a little bit of
- 31:19Speaker 5: a disappointment. He said, guys, I was on time for
- 31:21Speaker 5: work yesterday and today.
- 31:23Speaker 3: Oh no.
- 31:23Speaker 5: I blame that a hundred percent on you guys not
- 31:26Speaker 5: being there to distract him.
- 31:27Speaker 3: Well, we're, we're sorry.
- 31:29Speaker 5: Productivity is going to go up in the morning, but
- 31:32Speaker 5: into the afternoon, just make sure you punch that clock
- 31:34Speaker 5: out at two.
- 31:34Speaker 3: So you can be here. I do.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:36Speaker 3: I do wish we could help you there. I'm happy
- 31:38Speaker 3: to be helping everybody in the afternoon here, but, uh,
- 31:41Speaker 3: It is a pretty good thing. YouTube, no noob guy.
- 31:45Speaker 3: I think noob guy, is that right? Ooh, I like
- 31:47Speaker 3: this new Showtime. Oh, thanks. We do, too. Good afternoon, guys.
- 31:51Speaker 3: This has been the best October, by far, I've ever had.
- 31:54Speaker 3: And not because of the Packers. Go Brewers and go Badgers.
- 31:57Speaker 3: All right, well, the Packers can be part of that
- 31:59Speaker 3: if they keep playing well.
- 32:00Speaker 4: But I like to hear that as well.
- 32:01Speaker 3: Yeah, the Badgers.
- 32:03Speaker 4: seem to be turning things around.
- 32:04Speaker 3: I mean, that's a good sign.
- 32:05Speaker 5: Uh, currently on, uh, uh, since we can't see them
- 32:09Speaker 5: at the Potawatomi sports book currently on the, uh, Polly
- 32:12Speaker 5: market trading site, Badgers, uh, 20% chance to make the
- 32:16Speaker 5: college football playoff.
- 32:17Speaker 4: Hey, that's pretty good.
- 32:18Speaker 5: They now go, they go to UCLA this week, play
- 32:21Speaker 5: against a backup quarterback, a guy that I think he's
- 32:25Speaker 5: on his third different school, a kid that's going to
- 32:28Speaker 5: start for UCLA. Cause Nico email the AVA out now
- 32:31Speaker 5: for the rest of the season, uh, and you go
- 32:34Speaker 5: mess around and win this game they're a two and
- 32:36Speaker 5: a half point dog drew only a two and a
- 32:40Speaker 5: half point dog against a team that right now comes
- 32:42Speaker 5: in 12th in the country bob chesney is on colin
- 32:45Speaker 5: before we came on people.
- 32:47Speaker 3: Are loving the bruins go out to the rose bowl get.
- 32:51Speaker 5: A dub and it could be a fascinating change uh
- 32:54Speaker 5: for luke fickle squad so it's a good good time
- 32:56Speaker 5: to be here It is.
- 32:58Speaker 3: It is.
- 32:58Speaker 6: I just saw my pal Bob Nightingale posted a picture
- 33:01Speaker 6: from the press box at Dodger Stadium.
- 33:03Speaker 4: Come on, Bob.
- 33:04Speaker 6: And Dodger Stadium, it's old, but it's magical. You go
- 33:09Speaker 6: there and just like it's hard to describe.
- 33:11Speaker 5: So I'm in the rare camp that I want to
- 33:14Speaker 5: go to Dodger Stadium more than Fenway Park. Is that
- 33:17Speaker 5: I mean, I know they're both they're both going to.
- 33:20Speaker 4: I would say go to both.
- 33:21Speaker 6: But yeah, Dodger Stadium is pretty cool, especially he just
- 33:24Speaker 6: posted this photo and he said it's Milwaukee weather here
- 33:27Speaker 6: in L.A.
- 33:27Speaker 4: 75 and sunny. You brought it with you.
- 33:30Speaker 6: You said last time the Dodgers played here, it was 102.
- 33:33Speaker 3: Goodness gracious.
- 33:34Speaker 4: Yes.
- 33:35Speaker 6: Remember, it was hot when the Brewers got to San Diego, too. But, yeah,
- 33:39Speaker 6: you see the palm trees, and you're in the ravine,
- 33:41Speaker 6: and it's just you walk up. The stadium's kind of sunken,
- 33:44Speaker 6: and you walk up.
- 33:45Speaker 4: The San Gabriel Mountains. It's pretty cool. How far is
- 33:47Speaker 4: that from the road? Pasadena and that, that would be
- 33:50Speaker 4: somewhat in the.
- 33:52Speaker 5: In the neighborhood i should ask armin mr geography major
- 33:55Speaker 5: of all these pasadena areas.
- 33:56Speaker 3: Not just not just that i love maps but that's
- 33:58Speaker 3: where all the armenians live but you go north and
- 34:00Speaker 3: west i think from dodger stadium to go to burbank
- 34:03Speaker 3: and pasadena um i think i know that because i
- 34:06Speaker 3: think that's uh where our boy hunter's gonna stay out
- 34:09Speaker 3: there it's.
- 34:09Speaker 6: 10 miles yeah you know which two and a half
- 34:12Speaker 6: hours yeah two hours at least it's 10 miles uh
- 34:16Speaker 6: yeah It's a straight line.
- 34:18Speaker 3: I don't think it's that bad of a distance, but
- 34:21Speaker 3: the traffic, but I'm pretty sure it's not that far
- 34:24Speaker 3: because I think we're Dodger Stamps in like the northwest
- 34:27Speaker 3: part of, if I'm not wrong, by Hollywood and L.A.,
- 34:30Speaker 3: which is where Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank is.
- 34:33Speaker 5: You said San Gabriel Mountains. That's the only other time
- 34:35Speaker 5: I hear it. So I'm immediately thinking, boom, shot, shot.
- 34:38Speaker 3: It's like Vegas. Oh, I can see it.
- 34:40Speaker 4: It's got to be right next door.
- 34:42Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 34:43Speaker 6: You know, the few times that we get to play
- 34:44Speaker 6: at like country clubs and stuff where everything's like the
- 34:46Speaker 6: grass is perfect.
- 34:48Speaker 4: It's kind of like that. Like you just feel like
- 34:51Speaker 4: it's it's it's it's kind of there's a.
- 34:53Speaker 5: Reason why minutes 10 mile drive. There's a reason why
- 34:57Speaker 5: that many people live there because it's kind of awesome.
- 35:00Speaker 5: Like it is. I love Joel Klatt was talking about
- 35:03Speaker 5: this when people were roasting the USC fans and similarly
- 35:06Speaker 5: the Dodger fans when it was like 100 or something.
- 35:08Speaker 5: They weren't at the Sacramento State game, San Jose State game.
- 35:12Speaker 3: It's like, guys, it's LA.
- 35:14Speaker 5: If it's 10 degrees over 80... people shutter in. It
- 35:19Speaker 5: reaches 50. People are getting a north face out. He's like,
- 35:22Speaker 5: it's got to be perfect because it's always perfect. Why
- 35:26Speaker 5: would we go out when it's not 75 and sun? Well,
- 35:29Speaker 5: let's wait two days and it will be 75 and sunny.
- 35:31Speaker 4: Go and live it up. The real estate will tell
- 35:33Speaker 4: you that too, right?
- 35:33Speaker 3: All right.
- 35:34Speaker 4: So you're in Dodger Stadium. You're going northeast to Pasadena.
- 35:36Speaker 3: I got you very excited about this.
- 35:38Speaker 4: West of Glendale.
- 35:39Speaker 3: I'm going to get in there for you right there.
- 35:41Speaker 3: Get all this information for you.
- 35:43Speaker 4: I get we're in the afternoon, but you can't get
- 35:44Speaker 4: that Pause. I'm very excited. Getting all up in there.
- 35:47Speaker 3: I'm proud of you.
- 35:48Speaker 4: You go to mini kebab there in Glendale.
- 35:51Speaker 3: Get some shish kebab. Wonderful.
- 35:54Speaker 4: But here, we're there to go win a pennant.
- 35:56Speaker 3: Yeah. We're there to go win a pennant and enjoy
- 35:58Speaker 3: your weather and then come home. And then party there,
- 36:01Speaker 3: then come home. Like Max and Paul Hornig did before
- 36:04Speaker 3: Super Bowl I. Same thing.
- 36:06Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about.
- 36:07Speaker 3: We're there to party, win this trophy, and.
- 36:08Speaker 4: Then come home. Same deal. That's amazing.
- 36:11Speaker 6: I will say that my time's going to LA. I
- 36:12Speaker 6: love being at the ballpark, but everybody's like, oh, it
- 36:14Speaker 6: must be cool going to LA. It's like, eh, it's
- 36:16Speaker 6: tough to get around.
- 36:17Speaker 4: That's the thing. You're going to go to Santa Monica
- 36:19Speaker 4: or something. In Milwaukee, you can go to different neighborhoods.
- 36:22Speaker 1: Amen.
- 36:22Speaker 4: That's what we're used to. It's like, hey, this is
- 36:24Speaker 4: kind of boring. Let's go somewhere else.
- 36:25Speaker 6: And, you know, if you're locked in, like if we're
- 36:27Speaker 6: going to Santa Monica, we're going to Santa Monica. That's
- 36:29Speaker 6: the only place we're going. You're not leaving and going
- 36:31Speaker 6: somewhere else. Zipping around from place to place.
- 36:34Speaker 5: I've been there one time and it was a very
- 36:38Speaker 5: in and out, a quick experience. But I got to
- 36:39Speaker 5: see like seven homeless people. So I felt like I
- 36:41Speaker 5: got the I got a little.
- 36:42Speaker 3: Bit of a flavor. Yeah, absolutely.
- 36:44Speaker 4: We've got we met before a smoke. I was 13.
- 36:48Speaker 3: We had one.
- 36:49Speaker 6: We mentioned it earlier that Garrett Mitchell's kind of the
- 36:52Speaker 6: who's hot, who's not guy.
- 36:53Speaker 3: Mr.
- 36:54Speaker 4: Donovan Jorgensen.
- 36:54Speaker 6: We'll have who's hot, who's not for you coming up.
- 36:57Speaker 6: Also going to name our current electric superhero of the day.
- 37:00Speaker 6: And we've got a return engagement between 419 and 421.
- 37:04Speaker 5: Eddie and Salah said finally an afternoon show with a spark.
- 37:08Speaker 4: Absolutely. We will spark it there.
- 37:10Speaker 6: You are in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew, Billy,
- 37:16Speaker 6: and Armin huddled up on a Tuesday in the good land.
- 37:21Speaker 6: Brewers just knocked Henriquez out of the game. Reliving game
- 37:25Speaker 6: two of the NLCS.
- 37:27Speaker 2: It's glorious.
- 37:28Speaker 4: I love doing this.
- 37:29Speaker 5: Now, the one time that I did this, Drew, where
- 37:32Speaker 5: we rewatched a playoff game with somebody, it did not
- 37:34Speaker 5: go as well. Rewatched while doing a show one time
- 37:37Speaker 5: with Leroy Butler, the TO game.
- 37:40Speaker 3: Yeah, good decision. Yeah, good decision. Watch it with him
- 37:44Speaker 3: during that. I don't think he'd be happy about that.
- 37:47Speaker 3: It was kind of dirty pool. It was kind of
- 37:49Speaker 3: dirty pool. Well, I had to get his reaction to it. Listen,
- 37:52Speaker 3: I like that. I had to see what he thought of,
- 37:54Speaker 3: and he definitely was still disappointed that a... I don't know.
- 37:58Speaker 3: Can we say his name?
- 37:59Speaker 5: A certain safety was not at his appropriate depth there
- 38:02Speaker 5: on the play.
- 38:03Speaker 4: Somebody was supposed to be on the goal line.
- 38:06Speaker 3: But the reality is, and Mike Holmgren said, if you
- 38:08Speaker 3: watch the NFL greatest games, not to get too deep
- 38:11Speaker 3: into this game. Sorry, I apologize. He said, I believe
- 38:15Speaker 3: I called the right defense.
- 38:17Speaker 4: We just didn't play it very well. Just didn't play
- 38:19Speaker 4: it very well. Which is true.
- 38:20Speaker 3: I mean, the window that Steve Young threw. See, there's
- 38:23Speaker 3: some games that are hard to get over, and then
- 38:25Speaker 3: some games I can't. And that's not one of them
- 38:28Speaker 3: I can't. Just because it was a wild card game
- 38:30Speaker 3: on the road. I don't know if they were going
- 38:31Speaker 3: to beat, you know, the Vikings were dominant that year,
- 38:33Speaker 3: although they didn't end up obviously.
- 38:34Speaker 5: Didn't look very dominant in the championship game, right? They
- 38:37Speaker 5: lost to the Falcons. But, well, they could have.
- 38:40Speaker 1: No, sorry.
- 38:40Speaker 5: I'm thinking of two years later when they get massacred
- 38:44Speaker 5: by New York.
- 38:45Speaker 3: The 41-0.
- 38:46Speaker 4: But the thing is, there are certain games. And, you know,
- 38:48Speaker 4: you showed young Carson that 2014 NCAA championship. That's just bad.
- 38:54Speaker 4: First game I showed him. That's just the rough. I'm
- 38:57Speaker 4: the young child.
- 38:58Speaker 3: I'm sorry. You got to learn this world is not
- 39:01Speaker 3: sunshine and rainbow.
- 39:02Speaker 4: That's true. You know what else we watch?
- 39:04Speaker 3: Man, that's tough.
- 39:05Speaker 4: Game six of the Eastern Conference Finals 2019. Now we're now. Okay.
- 39:10Speaker 3: Let's go up 12 going into the fourth quarter. Let's
- 39:13Speaker 3: learn it real quick. Another bad one, yeah.
- 39:15Speaker 4: Let's learn it real quick. This is not going to
- 39:16Speaker 4: be easy.
- 39:17Speaker 3: I just hope you show them the good and the bad.
- 39:19Speaker 4: We want to foster and culture dreams. We've watched game
- 39:22Speaker 4: five of the Cubs series enough. We watched last night
- 39:25Speaker 4: a lot.
- 39:25Speaker 5: Now we're going to have to be able to get one,
- 39:27Speaker 5: a couple.
- 39:27Speaker 4: More wins and then have some more.
- 39:29Speaker 6: Jake Bowers just got a base hit to pie has
- 39:31Speaker 6: who kicked the ball and let the runner.
- 39:34Speaker 4: The replay is outstanding.
- 39:35Speaker 6: It's so fun to relive this.
- 39:38Speaker 3: Bowers Contreras, his favorite players are kind of stepping up big.
- 39:41Speaker 3: Is that exciting for Carson? Is he like really into it? Yeah,
- 39:44Speaker 3: he's having, he's having a pretty good run. His guys
- 39:46Speaker 3: are having a pretty good run. Yelly was, was the
- 39:48Speaker 3: first favorite.
- 39:50Speaker 5: So now having the taped on C of, of the
- 39:54Speaker 5: yellow shirt, he enjoys that very, very much, but it's just,
- 39:59Speaker 5: it's hard not to get swept up in every little
- 40:00Speaker 5: piece of it. I mean, who's not a David Hamilton
- 40:03Speaker 5: fan after yesterday. I don't, I don't think there were
- 40:05Speaker 5: a lot of guys drew. You mentioned it to rock.
- 40:07Speaker 5: He's a total throw in guy.
- 40:09Speaker 4: In that deal.
- 40:10Speaker 5: And when Murph talked about him in spring training, I
- 40:13Speaker 5: remember vividly joking about it on the air. I'm like, yeah,
- 40:16Speaker 5: tell me more about how the guy with a 500
- 40:17Speaker 5: OPS is going to be a, a difference maker on
- 40:20Speaker 5: this team.
- 40:21Speaker 4: That's right. I'm excited to see it.
- 40:22Speaker 6: And Matt Arnold's like, we wanted him in the deal.
- 40:25Speaker 6: We like, we wanted him. He was one of the
- 40:26Speaker 6: guys who wanted the protection.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Sure.
- 40:28Speaker 3: And can we say, I mean, yes. I mean, can
- 40:31Speaker 3: we say the, the hater trade is the book closed now?
- 40:34Speaker 3: Or not.
- 40:34Speaker 4: I mean, we'll debate that forever.
- 40:35Speaker 6: If you win a World Series and if Contreras is
- 40:39Speaker 6: the MVP of the NLCS, you can make a pretty
- 40:43Speaker 6: good case that that closes the book. In fact, someone
- 40:45Speaker 6: asked Brandon Woodruff about that, about how it decimated the club.
- 40:49Speaker 6: But now you see. And even Adonazio said it in
- 40:52Speaker 6: the Nightingale piece. It's like our fans started to realize that,
- 40:55Speaker 6: you know, kind of know what we're doing. And we're,
- 40:57Speaker 6: you know, there was some trust there because that ended up.
- 41:01Speaker 6: The pain of that, that's the one year they've missed
- 41:03Speaker 6: the playoffs. The one year they missed the playoffs.
- 41:05Speaker 4: And it is ironic. And it was devastating, but it
- 41:07Speaker 4: set them up. It set them up.
- 41:10Speaker 6: For what they've been doing since.
- 41:12Speaker 3: It is ironic, too, because you also thought at the
- 41:14Speaker 3: time maybe you already got the best years of Hayter. Now,
- 41:17Speaker 3: he did get paid afterwards, so he would have to
- 41:18Speaker 3: pay more.
- 41:19Speaker 4: Oh, you never would have paid him for that.
- 41:20Speaker 3: You wouldn't, but in his 30s, he's had the best
- 41:23Speaker 3: two years of his career probably the last two years.
- 41:25Speaker 3: As dominant as he was early on, his last two
- 41:27Speaker 3: years have been really awesome.
- 41:29Speaker 5: He's been really, really good. The resonance in the locker
- 41:33Speaker 5: room was a tough thing to go. I love, and
- 41:35Speaker 5: I know he's told the story before, but I loved
- 41:37Speaker 5: in that Nightingale piece, Drew, that you referenced where he
- 41:40Speaker 5: talks about Bud calling him. He's like, Mark, you got
- 41:43Speaker 5: to walk me through this one. You got to explain
- 41:45Speaker 5: this one to me when they trade Caleb Durbin. You
- 41:47Speaker 5: can tell just one how much both of those guys
- 41:50Speaker 5: still love that team and love that team.
