  Speaker 3: Or just like prepare polished because it's like trying to
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: be trying to be Ryan Braun while very smart, right like,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: because he is a very you can tell the dude
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: is very very uh intelligent, knows a lot of different things,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: but he is so hell bent on making sure that
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: he does not aggravate say anything in anything wrong, anything possible.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Everybody's fantastic. It's a great long experience. It's a beautiful
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: time and great opportunity. You know, he's a great leader
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of men and a great guy. He's got like fifteen
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: cliches that he just fires out, and he's going to
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the Tom Brady School of interviews.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: So he already drew you're right.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Came in as maybe the boringest, most difficult guy to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: get a SoundBite out of anywhere. Now he gets doubled
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: up with Tom Brady there in Las Vegas and Kirk Cousins,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: who now apparently shows a lot of personality and fun.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: It's like a Patriot dish.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have to deal with this for fifteen years
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: of my guys saying everybody's a fantastic opportunity. Yesterday after
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: the joint practice they had, that's just a great learning
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: experience and how's all opportunity and they got a couple
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of really good leaders, I mean over there, and it's like, dude,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: you can just take a deep breath and talk normal
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: for a couple of minutes.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: See. You gotta realize when I fell in love with
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Bernano Mendoza, he was like so.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: In love with Fernando.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was at cal and they had just gone
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: what six and five because they beat Stanford, and he
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: was still sort of anonymous, so I think he wasn't
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: necessarily as worried about being as polished because he was
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: the stage wasn't as big, and they caught him right
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: after that comeback win, and he was super emotional and
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: crying and talking about how it was the greatest moment
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: of his life. He'll never forget going ninety eight yards
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: with his boys and like all that stuff.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And I was like totally enamored and enchanted by it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I was like, you know, this is my guy, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I fell in love with it because that was super
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: authentic and organic, you know. And I'm not that he's
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: being fake now, but he's he's a lot more I
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: guess aware and concern about sounding like the Yeah, like
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: you said, Bill, he's super polished, all the things you
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: know in the in the right order and everything like that,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: And it does make for a little more boring. But
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: you gotta realize when he was an outim us for
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: a while at cal in a way, like, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: relatively anonymous, and it was different.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: But now I know what you're saying, first pick and everything.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It's it is.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Kind of it's hard to listen to the cliche machine.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: He was get fired up every day he sat down
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: with the busting with the boys. Guys are doing a
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: little camp tour and going around to a bunch of
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: different places. They had the four quarterbacks there in Las Vegas,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Drew and they're interviewing all four of them, and Kirk
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Cousins looks like just the disappointed dad as he's trying
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: to pull out all the stories. Right where you got
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the one kid that you're excited to tell all your
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: friends about and.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Just had a great day made National Honor Society. Tell
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: him about that, Tell them about that, Tell him about
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that test that you just got an A on, right,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: and then you go and tell the stories. Kurt is
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: just sitting in the corner, just like, all right, are
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you gonna tell the story? Or am I gonna have
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to Yeah, he ended up taking a fifty percent discount
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to go to Indiana and he was gonna go to
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Georgia and he called Kirby Smart but he didn't answer.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: And you want to tell it now, Okay, I'll tell
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: But no, Kirby Smart's a really really good coach. He's
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: a really nice guy, a great program. And Guners Stockton
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: would have been a very very difficult guy and it
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: would have been hard and I probably wouldn't have been
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: able to start right out of its brother, Yeah, take
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: any breath, you're okay? Yeah, I took a discount to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: play at Indiana and now I'm the greatest thing that's
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: ever come out of Bloomington, Indiana on the football side. Congratulations,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and now I'm Teflan. Just embrace it and celebrate yourself
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Kid, Loosen them shoulder.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Maybe one day he'll get mad at somebody and that'll
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: be fun to watch, like if.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: He actually gets mad.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: He did say his mom was the one that may
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: have made that decision for him. He said he picked
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: up the phone and dialed and was on the on
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the phone ready to call. Kirby Smart didn't pick up
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: in the first couple of rings, he said, my mom
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: was just staring daggers at me. So I quickly up
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the quickly hung up the phone, up, smacked the microphone,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: woke up the next morning and went to Indiana.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: So that bus actually drives? No, oh, I was gonna say.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: You said they're traveling around the bus with the boys.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: I like it, actually is that bus?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: That that bus I believe is a private planet. Yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm gonna guess that that is going to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: be a pro.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: It'll be cooler if they did, like the Madden button.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: They actually the podcast is in the bus. I thought,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the bus actually drives. That's impressive, like the Madden bus.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: But whatever, Okay, see that takes away a little but
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the excitement.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: For me, I just killed some of the excitement. I'm
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: sorry about that. I apologize.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Sometimes at some point we gotta see we got to
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: actually see the OS, right is that?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh, you got it right, the OS behind the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: bind the curtain.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: OK.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I just wanted that. I just wanted to make sure
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I used one armanence.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Next up next in the next segment, Drum going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: bust out a couple of Seinfeld references I love it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I love it. Why don't you bust out a current
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: electric superhero of the day.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you said that, because there is one brave
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: soul and I am very much trying to find this
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: young lady who went to the crosstown rivalry this uh yesterday,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: as the Chicago Cubs are taking out in the Chicago
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: White Sox, maybe the most excited this rivalry has been
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: in a long time. There was one thing that the
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Cubs and White Sox fans were uniting on. Not that
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: there's no fighting in the bleachers. They were very much
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: fighting in the bleachers on Monday night, but last night
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: they were all fighting one common enemy, a young brave
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: soul who I don't know her name, but the thank
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: you thank you here it is as they start a
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: goat pack or a Green Bay sucks chant. Now bring
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: that audio down because there's some cursing that comes in
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: here later on. Yeah, yeah, there's some background cursing. The
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: very much not a good thing to be able to play.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I apologize, That's why I was talking over it. One
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: young lady brings a big old G flag right into
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the bleachers at Wrigley Field and in the midst of
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the Green Bay Sucks chant trying to unify and bring
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: together Socks and Cubs fans. This brave soul carried the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: g like nobody's business and bust this flag out for
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: a full inning, waving it proudly. And that young lady,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know her name, is our current electric superhero
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: of the day.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: You know, the Cubs slash Packers fans confuse me, but
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: at least it's like, at least you got one of them.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Like there's a lot out there of some people that
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: you know are Bucks.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: But like Nathan Marzi on our big Bucks Twitter guy,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: he's a big Cubs fan, big Packers fan.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: He just he posted it and said ball. No, see,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: there are people that know ball.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Even though she's got a bad taste in baseball team
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I am going to guess that it is because her
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: her parents watched WGN.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: It was the only channel that they could get.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: So that was why they grew up in that way,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: just outside of Antioka, Illinois, or just outside of Kenosha,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and that's why they picked up.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: On that side.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: And we can forgive her for all of the trials
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and mistakes that we've had as long as coming up
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: on week five, we can celebrate her at lambeau Field,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: and hopefully she finds her way to lambeau Field in
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: week five as the packers beat down the Chicago and
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: how about.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: The classy milk drinkers in the in the bleachers and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: attack her, attack her.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's one lady that sounds like a mom of
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: four that said, we will learn nothing from Bartman. But
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: what what can you do? I mean, you can move
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: the zoo, but the animals are going to be there,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: and the animals are.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: In the wriggly bleachers. That's just the way it is.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: So but listen, the definition of carrying the G is
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: going into enemy territory and unfurling that suck.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, best flag I've seen there, and so I don't
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: know the yell one flew. So call Current dot com
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: if you want a superhero. Now, it might not be
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: that young lady to come and carry the G, but
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be one of the current electric superheroes. And
• 8:10

• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the Cern Electric trucks. It look like superheroes pulling up
• 8:16

• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Billy's hot take was the eight and four Badger football
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: season coming your way. Come on, it's coming, boys, It's coming.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: It's it's gonna happen.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: We saw a little bit of it last night with
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: the Calvers uniforms at Camp Randall for their open practice.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I got it. How about everybody who went to that
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: despite the weather and stuff. They had to delay the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: gates by an hour or say.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: It was a long time to be able to get
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: in there, but it still looked like a nice showing.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: And also shout out Rob Havenstein for getting there and
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: giving some pointers to the O line.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Boys that you like seeing.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I like seeing more and more of the alumni there.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Melvin Gordon was there, over the weekend. I know that's
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: been a push and rightfully so, I think I don't
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: want to speak for anybody that played there because I couldn't,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: but I imagine it was difficult when there was a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: lot of things said about the way Badger football had
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: been played and wanting to, you know, refresh and kind
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: of change the way it looks, and when one of
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: your own kind of gets passed up for the job
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Leonard did. I think there were a lot of
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Badger alumni that felt some sort of way. There has
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: been a clear, clear objective in edict to bring those
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: guys back, Brady Ewing being a big part of that
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: with the alumni relations, so I love seeing that.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Also, hot take.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Are they just letting everybody that has a cool YouTube
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: channel or a TikTok page go down?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Bernie Slide?
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Nowadays, it does seem like I'm seeing more of that,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: and I've been waiting to go down for a long time.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I think anybody got up there and I feel like Drew,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing these dudes do a sweet four kse stick
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: camera shots of it all the.
• 10:59

• 11:02
  Speaker 3: We want to spread the love and we want to
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: spread the word above the great stadium we have. But
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: and not to make this about me, but I'd like
• 11:08

• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I started YouTube. I gotta get more viral.
• 11:12

  Speaker 1: like a lot of people you got to get more
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: videos of your cricket that.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Was out in the hallway, and then maybe you would
• 11:18

• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Hey, alright, baby, all right? Can I do it really quick?
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: And it was wrong?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: You made me think about something.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Brontae, come thay, I want to do a quick one
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Billy adjacent to yours. All right, enough of this excuse
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: that my dad and my grandpa and my great grandpa
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: listened to this radio one hundred years ago, and listen
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: to your team. Start chair for your home team. My
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: dad grew up in Wilmington, Delaware. You don't see me
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: chairing for the Phillies. Okay, I want the Citizens Bank
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Park once with a Carlos villanaway but t shirt, all right,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Brewers t shirt.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: All right, enough of this stuff.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: You cheer for your own home team, not your grandpa's,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: all right, and you know, listen, rest in peace to
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: everybody's grandpa.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he was a great guy. I'm sure you
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: have great memories. But you you can have. You can
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: cheer for your own home team, you know, all right there,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: you can cheer for whoever you want. I you can,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: But I mean, my job is to gatekeep. Okay, it's
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a fan, Okay, all right, let's get let's get in
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: there and do some Here's one that's not a hot take.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to serve it up and you can
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: supply your own hot take, although Andrew Marsham kind of
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: did in his lead. The least surprising story that will
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: hit your your browser today is that Pat McAfee is
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: going to be a member of Monday Night Countdown. Oh jeez,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: because he doesn't have a lot of exposure. What he
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: will join, Uh, and he will be a part of
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl coverage with He's going to joint Van
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Pel Jason Kelsey, Marcus Spears, Jason mccordy, mccordy replacing the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: fired Ryan Clark. Okay, yes, well again this isn't a shock,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: not surprise, but Andrew Marshawn's lead pretty much sums it
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: up for me. ESPNS motto is serving sports fans anytime anywhere.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: It soon may be serving Pat McAfee anytime anywhere, anytime anywhere.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and and three times as much as steven A
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: if it's sixty million. Now, Pat pays all the people
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to behind to actually like do the show and the
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: production and that kind of stuff. But uh, like when
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: they signed steven A to that five year, one hundred
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: million dollar deal and people were stunned all of a
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: sudden he was there on the desk for the finals.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: They they're gonna find a way to get in there.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I'm just surprised steven A and McAfee weren't a part
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: of the inside the NBA.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Coverage of the finals. That's true.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, like if that they're gonna fight. He's gonna
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: be the Little League World Series, I would assume. Then
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: they are pumping that Pat McFee on any and every
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: possible coverage shit they have. And as the Pat McFee
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: fan out of it, I'm like, hey, man, let's uh,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: let's slow the roll a little bit here. I don't
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: know that he needs to be on every show, every
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: single hour of every single game, my goodness, but but
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: It's like, hey, if it sticks, let's throw it out there.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: And that's what they're trying.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: And I thought Kelsey was going to start doing games.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: So he is still going to do the Monday night
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: countdown apparently, Okay, yeah, Now he might be the second
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: game that they're doing that because they have a number
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: of different ones in there.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: But wow, that so.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: It'll be the uh, it'll be the college game day
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: version of the Super Bowl pregame show for six hours
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: to bring it to.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Bring it all back home to Pat McAfee. You know.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: He put out the music the album though he did.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a diary of a polar figure
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: available on Spotify and YouTube.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Stephen Hayden, who is an Appleton native and was the
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: music editor at the A V Club and he worked
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: at the Grantlin for a while and yeah, the onion stuff.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Stephen Hyde's talented writer. He reviewed it. Someone asked him,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: as a music critic, would you review Pat McAfee's album Boy.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Hilarity ensued, as you can imagine all I can imagine? Yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and uh he is he said something. He tweeted something
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: effective to all of the people in inner circle of
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Pat McFee and all of his friends who didn't talk
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: him out of producing this and putting out this album,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: thank you, make sure you have it out there.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: It gave him something to tee up. I mean, I saw.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: People I didn't listen to any of it, admittedly, okay,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: it just didn't. But I saw a lot of people
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: debating this because, like I guess, there were some prominent
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: voices saying how it was truly a good like really
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: good and really awesome, and then everyone accused them of
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: just trying to suck up the Pat. And then I
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: didn't know if this whole thing was a big joke
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: or if it was serious. And it's just hard to
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: it's hard to know what to make of anything these days.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: But if you listenabillity to any of it. I can't
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: say I have. The headline is asking music critic, can
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you please review this Pat McVie album, and the subhead says,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: when making fun of a rich, malignant dufis obscures deeper,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: more important truths. You can kind of guess which way
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: this is good? Yeah, yeah, here you go. For those
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: who are unfamiliar and like, Okay, so Stephenhyden's audience, not
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: really maybe sports front Forward For those who are unfamiliar.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Pat McAfee is a former NFL kicker, will kicker, punter, kicker,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: or whatever, who is currently one of the most prominent
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: voices on ESPN, the sports cable network that, like MTV,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: was once beloved in the eighties and nineties, but now
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: has fully devoted into unwatchable reality TV, starring a shrinking
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: number of personalities that nobody on Earth actually likes but
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: nonetheless scan as famous. Yea, even those populating Pat's own
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: inner circle apparently can't stand the man, as nobody talked
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: him out of releasing The Diary of a Polarizing Figure,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: a melange of shop worn country boiler, PreK trap and
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the sort of uncut and unrelenting grievance that only a
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: man who has reportedly set to make sixty million dollars
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: a year to wear tank tops and look relatively cojin
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: while standing next to the oversized slab of molded silly
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: putty that is Ajhawk's face can reasonably muster aj ketch.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: From a man that doesn't like it or doesn't watch it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: He's sure got some takes on it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: It seems like, I mean, look, he Pat's popular. We
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: can't like he's got numbers.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: My thing is, is Pat one hundred percent serious with it?
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Is his point to make people like talk about it
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: and laugh about it and just be goofy like that's
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: my number one thing?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Is he really intending to be a musical?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Hearing him talk about it, it's definitely something that he
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: like cared about that he definitely wanted to do the project.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: He definitely spent a bunch of money to paid a
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: bunch of money to be able to do it. Like
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: he's got a lot of people in Nashville that were
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: trying to make it sound good from what I'm guessing, and.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Then hiding goes on. Before we get into this, I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: need to register my usual reservations when it comes to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: pans of self evidently garbage albums. One, I don't necessarily
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: relish reviewing a preordained artistic disaster, even when it's made
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: by our rich, malignant dufus. The easiest and most satisfying
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: target there is. Two. The very easiness of the target
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: is why I don't relish it. Three because mocking rich
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: malignant dufus, as well undoubtedly fun and popular on the Internet,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: often distracts from some deeper truth that's more interesting and
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: probably more meaningful. So stephen hiding thing is pretty damn
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: pretty damn well, I definitely got to find some of
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: that stuff that's way more meaningful. Yeah, I mean, I
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: gotta find.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: The way more meaningful stuff that that my man Stevens
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: writing about.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, if you, if you're an art critic,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: you you are really into a.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Lot of art.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure he has somebody he's into. But art
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: is all subjective, let's say that.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: So I mean that's yeah, I mean, well, I mean.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Honestly, I have not listened to any part of the album.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: I don't think I will not not not that I
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: don't really, I just don't plan on coming across it,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: you know. But but I'll.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Be watching the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can watch
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: the show and not by the album and listen to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the album and put it on your Spotify playlist.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah if you, and and and for the fans, and
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: for the Pat fans out there, they don't like hearing
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: stuff like this.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they love Pat, right, I mean, that's what I mean.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But like also, I don't like, you don't have
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: to love everything that somebody does, like, even if you're
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: a fan, Like I've been a fan of a lot
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: of guys that I've definitely disagreed with things that they've done.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I also just like, I love though, how mad he
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: can make people, And it is remarkable how in people's
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: feelings him doing anything can make people like they the
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: the frustration when his name is attached to anything is
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: really impressive. That's a that's an impressive impact you can
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: have on the world, and you can make people that frustrated.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: But some things are timeless and timelessly bad, you know,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: like William Shatner's music. I didn't even know he made me.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: It was a great artist in his way as an actor, right,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's I mean, like Shack made album.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: He's putting out like a metal album now William Shatner is,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: but he's got oh yeah, oh damn, he is going
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: back to the sixties. He put out yeah, oh yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: William Shotton has been doing music for a long time.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: But and guys, and I always think athletes want to
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: be entertainers, and entertainers want to be athletes.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: That's definitely a true. In sixty eight, put out a
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: dramatic spoken word album that is still people play as
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: if used play a comedy bits back in the day.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Oh damn, yeah, I gotta go check that out. Yeah,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you gotta check it out. So I don't know, and
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: people get Army's favorite word, hubris. They do like everything
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I do is awesome. So I'm gonna put this into
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the world and people will like it. And then people
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: make fun of it and you're like, oh, you're just
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: a hater. Just hate him because he's successful and famous, Like, no,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I hate him because he put out this thing that's up.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: But there's also people that he could come out with,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: like the cure of cancer, and people would be like,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: that's ridiculous. No, that's not care, who cares, That's not
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: what we're talking about you guys are lightning rods.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no question. And I don't know is Pat
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: working on a cure, because that I could get behind.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: If he's got sixty million bucks coming in his way
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: per year, he might have a chance.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: He might have a chance, or he'll just try to
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: make a hundred million and be on more shows. All right?
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Eight seven seven seven nine year in the Huddle, Fox
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio Wisconsin Drew billion arm in this portion of
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the program brought you by Game Day Men's Health. Check
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: them out online. I'll be visiting the Brookfield location after
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the show today. Game Day Men'shealth dot Com helping men

  Speaker 1: improve their lives with a variety of services. Great people
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: doing great work. Game Day Men's Health dot Com. Check
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: them out, all right? Eight seven seven seven nine four
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: seven three. We're hot, take humping. We're not neglecting the
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: fact that the Brewers spanked the Mariners twenty two to
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: nothing last night. What a rollicking good time on a
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: stormy night in Milwaukee.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: It's nice to be able to run through a team
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: like that, especially one that I mean, like people would
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: say Seattle's an awful team. Well, a year ago they
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: were pretty dang good a year ago. Check me if
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong. Weren't they a series away from going to
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: the World Series just like you were. I mean, this
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: was one that you had circled in the preseason, and
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: then you realize that it's a It's not always about
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Drew who you play, it's when you're playing.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: When you're playing results here, Look at the Blue Jays.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Look at all these teams that were good last year
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: not good this year, but they all slept talent, right,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: That's the point.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: So it's always good to get those Mariners are in
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: just a weird spot. They're eight games under five hundred
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: and four games out of winning the division.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the wild card also is no good either
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: in the AL, so they you have opportunities if you
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: literally have one good week in the American League to
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: make it move. It is a weird spot, it kind
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: of It's one of those situations where I guess it's
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: good for a certain fan base.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: It's to have hope in that regard, but their teams
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't win, and they was by twenty two. If the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: playoffs started today, the American League wildcard would be the Yankees,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Red Sox and Rangers. And the other dame was Baltimore, Right,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: So Rangers that jumped up. Yeah, the Twins and Blue
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Jays are a half game out of that, The Guardians
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Orioles and Tigers are a game out of that, and
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: the Mariners are three games out of that.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Gotta be remarkable for Blue Jays fans that have been
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: bad all or inch from winning the World Championship last year,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: have been bad all year, but still realistically could make
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: a playoff run if they are, you.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Know, nine teams with an easy striking distance of a
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: wildcard berth Right, now, that's incredible.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: And I mean, whether or not it's a good thing
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: or a bad thing, it's what expanded playoffs did for you.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: It's keeping all these teams somewhat into it, somewhat relevant.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: And I mean to like the Blue Jays, who wants
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: to face if he's healthy, Shane Bieber, Dylan Cees and
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Jose Soriano.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: They grabbed it the deadline in a three game series,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: like if they can bump anybody out there for you.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: They have guys and they just need their their lineup
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: to get runs those individual days. Like that's what it's about, right,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: So it should be pretty interesting to see what happens there.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: And they also need their best player to uh to
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: actually play to his baseball card with a lot of
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: good smoke for cal rally justifiably.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: So yep, you look at vlag Guerrero's numbers this year, I.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Mean his are astoundingly down sixty six ninety three ops.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I think he said seven bombs all year long. And
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: this was a dude that knocked on the door of
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: what forty or fifty a year ago.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: That's crazy, right, And even the guy they lost to
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: the Mets, shit right, I mean, yeah, he's had it
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: down here. So it's funny how how many guys have
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: struggled that you expect to be good Tucker? Yeah, and
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: for a while tatists, although one I smiled by, Yeah
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: you see Kyle hot take was Kyle Tucker crying in
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: the dugout or do you have something in his eye? Like?
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: He sure looked like he was wiping away some tears
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: on that Dodgers dugout after he dropped that fly ball
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: up and the one, Yeah, it's a tough look for
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: any human being. Also really wish the Cubs would have
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: locked him up instead of this Alex Bragman that would
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: have been nice.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it took Bregman a while to get going, but
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: he's a good player. Yeah.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I was really enjoying first, you know, ninety game Alex
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Alex Bragman. Now I'm not nearly enjoying him as much
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: since he's like, what a three hundred average and plugging
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: four ninety or whatever.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: He's been good that old lineup is there's no question.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: And you mentioned another guy really quick. Tatis had a
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: great game last night, two homers in the Great Catch,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: and he was the guy that started off slow this year,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: but he's really played a lot better lately, figured it
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: out for the Padres who were.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Making their run. He didn't hit a homer for the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: first two months of the season. That's crazy. It's just
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: remarkable someone with that much talent can have that many appats.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Now due were you? Were you ever MVP ballot or
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: did you have all the other about? Okay all the time?
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: So like when you fill that out, cause I'm looking
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: at it and I mentioned it to Armin here today,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: you're you got to fill out ten votes right like
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: you fill it up that way? Is there any place
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: for a guy like Tatis who has a ridiculous second half,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, his team is scorching hot.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: When he was the combination of A and cheeks in
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the season, and now all of a sudden,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: he's like rolling Like Jackson Merrill is the one of
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the best hitters on the planet, but his numbers in
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the year wouldn't have given him any
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: thought for that spot.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: No, you can definitely factor that in, but it's gonna
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: be like a ninth or tenth.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and somewhere down on the bottom of one of
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: those last little guys and you're looking end up giving.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: You're looking for the top and like, yeah, I mean
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Tetty's fifteen homer sixty R that's not great. Those are
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: not MVP numbers. No, But in the context of what
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: he meant and when he got hot, yes, but it
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: is a full season award. You're rewarding somebody's full season.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: So a guy who had a much better body of
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: work throughout the season is going to get this. He's
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: going to get the look. Yeah, it's one that I
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: always forgot about.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Like when you see how good Lorenzo Caine actually was
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: in eighteen, Like he garnered a lot of MVP votes
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: high War, and rightfully so, because he was so ridiculously
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: good in the center field, scored a ton of runs
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: as the leadoff guy for that team every single day.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: They made that big deal, and you know, it was
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: really for that first year, first couple of years, but
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: that first year, because he wasn't to the same hand,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: But there was that concern even with Yelch's great second half.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I remember Billy that they.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Were gonna split votes a little bit, that some people
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: would take things away because the War was somewhat similar.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: And that's when people.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: That's when people will started realizing that the value of
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: that spot, the value of that number. I remember when
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Gomez had a big War year and everyone started like
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: realizing what his value was in center field.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Pretty interesting? Could uh for what sixth that year? I think, yeah,
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: I mean like that's impressed that he got it. By
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: the way, Yelich was unanimous that year, so they yes, yes,
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: they were. They were very much correct there. Baiez was
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: very very good, but he wasn't wasn't close to winning it.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Drew.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: You want to hear one of the more embarrassing things
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: that I've done. I went yes, I went full arm
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: in sorry in yesterday.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: All right, you watched the nineteen four open to the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals, close, close.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't that I dug up nineteen ninety six
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Packers preview before the divisional round.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Game against the forty nine Ers.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: No, it was that I was watching a watching television
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: and watching somewhere on the Four Letter Network.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Then breakdown just how.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Good PCA has been, just how good and how impressive
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: his season is, and they listed off that there have
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: only been two guys to lead the league in war
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: his favorite stat and go thirty thirty. It was Mike
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Trout and I'm gonna forget the I'm gonna forget the
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: other individual.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: It was way. It was more back into the early
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: two thousands, if I'm not mistaken, Like was the Bonds
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: maybe or somebody like that.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: I thought it was Bonds, but I don't believe it
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: was because I don't think he was stealing thirty bags
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: when he was leading the league in war that way, right,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Like I was right near the end of it. But
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: it was Mike Trout and insert other really good player here,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: hold on, here, hold on, excuse me. I'm not trying
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: to be the Department of corrections here, you're gonna tell
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: me shoe Heo Tani was the first fifty to fifty
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: player to not also lead the league in war and
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: go thirty thirty and win the MVP unanimously, which I
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: just watched him to a couple of years ago. So
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I had to go to Baseball Reference, dug it up,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: pulled up the screenshots, and then found out that I
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: was wrong, and then had to verify it and send
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: it to Arman Sari and to talk about just how
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: good Aaron Judge has been. I went in to correct
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: a stat that I saw on television where they clearly
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: vetted it a couple of different times.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Because Drew I was hell bent on the fact that
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I was right. You knew you were right.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I knew I was right wo and I knew I
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: was flat wrong. After I looked at Aaron, Aaron Judge
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: had I think it was a ten point nine.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Crazy wins above replacement. Most guys never have another season
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Shoe Heyo Tani had the first season in baseball history
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: that went fifty homers in fifty stolen bases. He was
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: only nine wins above replacement. So I don't know what
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: that stat is. I don't understand it. I don't think
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I ever will. I am very glad that it is
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: here so we can look back and tell people about
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: how good guys were. But don't ever ask me to
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: figure out what it means, because if that wasn't the
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: most impressive season of all time, I don't know what
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: is Apparently Aaron Judge though, is that maybe a little underrated,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: a little underappreciated. It's just insanely good he is.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Is that a good reminder how good?
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, certain guys have been like like he, He's
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: been so good, But because he hasn't won a World
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Series and he's a Yankee like captain, he doesn't get
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: the love.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe people get desensitized by it. But pretty remarkable.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: I'm out here screenshotting Drew MVP ballot results from twenty
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: twenty four and sending him around and highlighting different parts,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, dude, you're full armating yourself right now,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: as you just got off at our Belgium quick trip
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: on I forty three to do a little bit of work.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: It just any wonderful. I just I pull I had
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: to look at it. I had to pull over. I
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: had to check it out.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Pull over when you when you have to pull over
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: on the road to check a baseball reference, that is
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: peak army.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: That is full arm I appreciate it. I can fully empathize.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: The only way it would have been more armament is
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: if it had happened and you were shopping for produce
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: at Pick and Safe. Uh maybe, oh yeah, I had
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: put down the tangerines for the day old and the
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: discounted produce.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, you know what it made me think though, when
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: you said, look at the day Old bakery. Listen, that's listen.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Thanks for the long John's. By the way, we didn't
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: thank you yet today. No, those are those are this morning? Sorry,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: but yeah, thirty thirty seasons. A lot of Brewers fans
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: will never remember Tommy Harper. It was in the first
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: year the Brewers exists, right, and because it was like,
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: you know, the Brewers had just existed. They moved from
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Seattle from the pilots, and they weren't very good. And
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: you know, obviously we don't remember much previous to the
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: eighties Brewers when they started getting good. But Tommy Harper
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: went nineteen seventy had thirty eight stolen bases, thirty one homers,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: so for a team that was just starting out, not
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: very good for the Bruise though, he was the star,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: so that's that's kind of a good looked him up.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: You had a seven war that year, so maybe the
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: early the early star for the Brewers. I would say,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: no question. And I would say, when you think of
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: underappreciated or seasons that were good but we'll be forgotten,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: I think about and I saw a cut up today
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: of Chris Carter's twenty sixteen Brewer season led the NL
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: with forty one homers. What a great one ninety four
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: RBIs and then he had a twenty one ops and
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: he'll never be remembered again. In a way, he was
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: never heard from again. And then the Brewers just started
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: getting really good after that. So in a lot of
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: ways we'll never remember it. But now we'll speak your name,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Chris Carter, and that one season you have there, you go, yeah,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Arm's going to keep it alive.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Keep that thing going, baby.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: But he's he's on the like the Mount rushmore forgotten
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: great Brewer seasons as well.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Is did he ever play again?
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: He played one year again. I think he got signed
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: for the Yankees for like eight hundred K. After a
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: year like that, I'm like, nobody wants a high homer guy.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: That could d h Yeah. No one wanted to cast
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: in Hrey either. Oh my god.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that was me and I didn't have to
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: still get it. I had to say that one listen,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: don't give up. Weamers out there playing joy play well. No,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: but Chris I think played for the Yankees, and then
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: that was it.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I think one more year would Lorenzo Caine be a
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: possibility for a playoff first pitch? I wouldn't be surprised.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Like I'm because you can only dust off
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: throw having Robin you throw how many?
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: That's true, He's throwing a series every World series. You know,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: we gotta start digging into some of those some of
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: those other early.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Hearts and the yeah, j J, those guys Domes is
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: definitely gonna be I mean, we've we've tried to Niger
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Morgan out there, how many different Yeah, Niger Morgan is
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: the Brewers, Brandon Jennings.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I think Randy Wolf should hit the hit the first
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: pitch for a homer just her.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: That would be a good possibility. When's mad Garz's first pitch?
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Sean Harkamy, when's Mark I'm coming back. I'm Fan Appreciation Night.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: When we return, We're going to have Awake and Bake

• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I could go through a number of different frustrations
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I have with this ESPN press release as to their
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: NFL coverage. Most importantly Kurt Warner not being on game
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: day mornings on NFL network is a frustrating one. But
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: we will go instead to last night, and I don't
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: think we have to go any further than we're Julio
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Rodriguez struggled off a fly ball off the bat of
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Christian Yelich, who had already gone yard in the night,
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: caught a ball with one out in the eighth inning,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: threw that son of a gun right up into the stands.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: You would think to him admiring an excited young lad.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: But I'm pretty sure if you go back and look
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: at the highlight, I think he throws it out of
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: the stadium. He turns around, fires it over the Miller
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Lite deck. But the best thing is, and Arman, this
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: should be in the station account. You should be able
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: to access it in the DMS. Over there was Pat
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Murphy and audio is courtesy of our friend Pat timlin
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Over of WISN twelve fame and Pat Murphy spoke after
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: the game last night and was asked about that moment
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: and asked about how on earth can a Major League
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: baseball player in the midst of a game not be
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: laser focused and dialed in? And know this, mur If
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: you've seen a lot of baseball, you've coached a lot
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: of baseball, has this ever happened?
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: For?
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: How does this happen? Murph?
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: I mean at that point, at that point, you know,
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: I was playing catch in the hallway here with Jackson.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: Uh so I could be guilty of that too, because
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: Jackson and I were playing catch. Yeah I didn't see
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: the play, but yeah, that can happen. You know, guys
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: lose their focus for a second, especially a guy that's
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: played as long as he has and understands the game
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: and has done so much for the game. You know,
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: those things happen, especially the scores like that.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: How does that happen?
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Murph?
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: How does that happen? What are you going to? What
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: would you do if that happened in your clubhouse? I
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: don't know. I would have been guilty of the same thing.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: I love that. There's just nobody better and twenty two
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: runs Drew will make you breathe a little bit easier
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: and probably feel a little bit better. Talking into a
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: microphone but Murphy is as good as it gets, and
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: that one last night was Chef's kiss. Sorry, I was
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: playing catch. I didn't even see what happened.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you guess, tell me what happened. It's hilarious.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: You have to accept the reality that even though it
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: was like, okay, that's bad for it was an unusual
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: baseball situation.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: It was like it was like they're just goofing around.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: It was the end of a blowout. Guys are throwing
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: ephis pitches.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: It was not I'm almost one hundred percent sure if
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: the game was two to one in the ninth he
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have done that. Okay, let's be honest. So now
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Milton Bradley did it once for the Cups. That was
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: my favorite because that was in the middle of a
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: close game. Milton Bradley threw a ball in the bleachers
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: when there was more there was less than it out,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: or there was less than two outs, and he thought
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: there was two outs there was one out.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: That one was always one that wore my cockles.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: If you want to go look that one up, because
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: that was really a bonhut play that costs the Cup.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: It's a five to three game in the top of
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: the eighth inning, he catches the ball thing and in
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: the inning is over, they score one run. My man
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: runs around and all of a sudden get two bases
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: after another tag up and boom, we're playing a couple
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: in this game is.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Over on WG.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: And the thing about Milton Bradley is he was a
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: guy everyone loved to get on, like he was the
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: lightning ride.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: He was a you know, the the one every other
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: fan base hated. So that was funny. This one, I
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: can excuse. It's a twenty one to eighteen nothing whatever
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: it was like, give me a break. It doesn't matter
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: at that point. It's still a bad low. It's a
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: bad look. I get it.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: It's the worst look possible. Well, however, the best answer
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: that you could possibly come up. Hey man, I'm not
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: going to trash somebody else's player. I'm just gonna make
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: fun of myself. Yeah, I'll let you know. The last
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: thing drew when you see Steven vote and who is it?
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Tory Lavello got into it and they had to move
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: the frustration and the anger because the tarp was trying
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: to come out. They're like, guys, we didn't need to
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: get the tarp on here. It wasn't the fact that
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Steven Vote was mad about what had happened. He was
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: mad that he was talking to my players. Don't you
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: talk to my players. I'll handle my guys. I'll handle
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: mine like that your locker room.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: I gotted Julio Rodriguez makes what eighteen million? That sounds
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: about right. Yeah, he signed, He's sign a pretty big deal.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: If we're throwing position players, then the game's over and
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: everyone is accepted.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: That kangaroo kangaroo court though, all right, kangaroo courd. Kangaroo
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: courd should get him.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: So is that going to be a pretty impressive spread
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: that he has to treat everybody to or does he
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: buy dinner tonight or because that's absolutely a thing.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: I hope they still do kangaroo cour I don't even
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: know if they do. Well, that was big during raining.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Guys just look at their questions.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say it either their phones or bring
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: their PS five and load that up into the into
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: the clubhouse. I would assume he's got to pay some
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: kind of good penance for that, because yeah, man, that's
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: that's a hard one, hard one to forget. But it's
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: also very you know, synonymous with how their season is gone.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: It's pretty symbolic as all the Mariners season has rolled through.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know how the Mariners are doing. Here you go,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: here you go, here's the game, ball in the stands
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: with two outs. That's where we're at, with a third
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: basement pitch, eighteen million dollar guy with the third basement pitching,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: and we're down in the worst loss in franchise. Ah, well,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: what the hell?
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Like I said, though, turn the page, like they could
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: still win the series. They could still win the series.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: They could very much score twenty on you tonight. Also,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: did anybody have a better two days than Kyle Harrison's
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: e R A drew? Oh, he went on a scoring
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: decision over took off five runs in that San Diego game.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: I get what they appealed it because there were five
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: runs in the balance, But I still don't think bait
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a low throw and it was
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: not normal effort to try to hold the bag and
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: catch that throw. I guess, but what do I know?
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: His era went from three four seven to two nine
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: to nine, and then last night's five scoreless moved that
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: son of a gun all the way down to two
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: eight four, and Kyle Harrison is right back where he
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: wanted to be.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: He'll take it, He'll take it for sure, all right.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow on the program, oh more, Brewers, Mariners talk, Packers
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: getting ready to travel to Denver for their second preseason
