  Speaker 3: But you are missing out if you don't go and
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: join the Thursday night huddle live and in person not
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: only because you can win with the phrase that pays
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: We have to select that. In fact, we should do
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: that right now. That's a good point.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: What should we make? The phrase that pays. Armin, people
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: are going to come up to you and ask for
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: gift cards. So what do you say?
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I'm blanking when the lights are bright. I'm blanking here.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you, I really wanted to do some kind
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: of fly the L, some kind of L for the offseason.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: We can do fly the L. Fly the L.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: But is attempting any fate that you're about to find
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: yourself into.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: The same fate that they did? No, no, no, no.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: We can celebrate their loss while acknowledging it's going to
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: be a tough matchup.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, I like that.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Or else, why are we doing this thing? We can't
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: have fun with the victories we get in sports. Like
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Drew always says, it's about getting kicked in the nuts. 90%
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: of it.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I don't get kicked in the nuts. I want to
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: at least enjoy it. We might get kicked in the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: nuts next week, so let's... I say let's do Fly
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the L. Fly the L.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Boom.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: There it is.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: The phase that pays is Fly the L. If you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: come up to the table tonight and say Fly the L,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: we're going to hand you a gift card while supplies last.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: It'll be awesome. Your point, though, Billy, is true. I mean,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: this is going to be a very, very tough matchup.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: It's going to be, I think, a long, hard series.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Because the idea that you will have to, you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: if this series was a sweeper, a four-gamer the way
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: you want, you'd have to win that game in San Diego.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: It looks very tough to win there, obviously, with that lineup,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: with that crowd, with that energy.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: It's going to be tough.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Miz and Logan Henderson aren't Matthew Boyd and a compromised
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Kevin Gosman.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Amen to that. Amen to that.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: We're not starting an older guy with a shoulder issue
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: here in game two with the season on the line.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: That's for sure.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And there's more than one way to do it. The
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: White Sox win 2-0. Kudos to them. 300 lost seasons
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: in a row, which is the epitome. You can't get
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: much lower than that. It's hard to lose 100 games,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: much less do it three years in a row. Did
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: they set the loss record in one of those years, too?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they might have.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Now they've got the papal blessing. You just got to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: give him credit. Because the Pope is a White Sox fan.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Gave him the papal blessing. And Will Venable gets some credit.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Venable, didn't they? Like, they went to game one and
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: had basically a bullpen day.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they waited. They saved their guy, Burke, yesterday.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: He was like, listen, guys, this is my life. I
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: don't have a girl.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I don't have kids.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: All I care about is baseball. So this is my life.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I would want that guy having the ball in game one.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: But you're right. I held that until game two. I
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: absolutely love that. That is great energy. Like, this guy's like...
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I remember in the finals against... I think it was
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: against the.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: when the Mavericks and the Heat played, when Chris Bosh said,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: I'm not doing anything for two weeks. I'm not leaving
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: my house. I'm not looking at anything except going to
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: the arena and coming back. My whole life is basketball.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: This guy's saying my whole life, I don't have anything
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: else but baseball. You've got to love that energy. White
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Sox are a great story, man. And I love it
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: because it annoys Cubs fans even more. Not that their
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: season just ended, but that the Sox are still playing.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: And that's something they never want to have happen. You
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: think the Brewers are a rival? They never wanted the
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Sox to be able to have any sort of success
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: there when you're a Cubs fan.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So what's that line? The enemy of your enemy is
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: your friend.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: That makes me a big Sox fan, which is a
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: full 180 from how I felt 30 years ago. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: that makes me wonder if that ever happens in any
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: other situation in sports where all of a sudden you
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: can live and arrival becomes the team you're cheering for.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Because the Sox used to be our rival when I
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: came to Chicago. It was never the Cubs. I used
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: to detest them in the 90s. And now I'm sitting
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: here cheering for them because they pissing off Cubs fans.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Brewers are a slight favorite. Over the Padres?
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Big favorite in game one, rightfully so, with Miz on
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the mound. But for the series overall, slight favorite. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: saw a couple of people wondering, Drew, if what the
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: series line would be Hopefully for the NLCS, if it's
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Brewers and Dodgers and thinking that it might be a
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: little different. No, it's going to be the Dodgers will
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: be the betting favorite prohibitively.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Like there will be a significant favorite.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: This one, though, you do wonder if it'll start moving
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: because last impression that last taste in your mouth with
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: the San Diego Padres can be tough to bet against.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I think for the national folks.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: I definitely I think that's going to be a big factor,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: how hot they've been.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: So.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen the series market yet at Pottawatomie's.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: White Sox would be a heck of a case study, Drew,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: for the old you win one series and I'll suck
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: for 10 years after. Because that was their first playoff
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: series win since they won the title in 05.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And they're two years removed from the white flag of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: trading Garrett Crochet.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: And then boom.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: And Garrett Crochet comes in last night, the night that
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: they win the playoff series, and I don't believe records
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: an out, right? He came in and was right there
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: in the beginning of that runaway part for the Yankees
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: last night.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: The core that Tim Anderson, that core they were supposed
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: to have that totally collapsed two or three years ago,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: and they thought it was.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Going to be a huge... Moncada in there. Yes, yes.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: They thought it was going to be a huge rebuild, which,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: It's been obviously a few years of losing for them,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: but they've gotten this thing together, and it just shows
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: you what you can do these days in baseball without
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: having a great, great team. I mean, if the situation's right,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: wild cards, divisions, you can win 85 games.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: And get in the playoffs.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: You look at the Padres series, and you're like, well,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: they're hot. Well, yeah, they were hot in September. The
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Brewers have been.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Hot all year. All year. Been good all year.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: You look at it and like, well, look at their
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: home field. Look at how rocking that place is, how
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: loud it is. It's a tough environment.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: And it is. It looks like the party you want
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: to be at.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: It's like the waste management classic of baseball right now.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like an NBA arena outdoors.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Massive.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But who was the best home team during the 162-game
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: championship season? Who scored the most runs per home game?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Your Milwaukee Brewers.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Come on, man.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's what I'm talking about. So they're comfortable at
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: home as well. So Padres are on a roll, but
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the Brewers have been on a roll all year.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: And the other thing is for the home crowd, Drew,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is going to be quantifiable
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: or if it's accurate at all. But last year, there
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: were so many Brewers fans that were going into the
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: home games in the NLDS for my money.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Almost as worried.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: About the cub fans as they would have been about
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: the actual game that was happening on the field right
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: like how what's the split in the crowd going to
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: be what is the split in the crowd going to
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: be i can't imagine there's a lot of folks flying
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: in here from san diego to watch the games on
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: saturday i didn't even look to see what the secondary
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: market prices did when the cubs took a It probably
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: started dropping when the.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Cubs lost game one. I didn't even think about that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Check that out.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: But this is not going to be one where there's
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: any worry if it's 80-20 or 70-30 or how many
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: of their fans are going to be in there.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: What is the atmosphere going to be? It's going to
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: be all Brewers fans.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: So go in there and get your freak on and
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: have some fun.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that whole storyline is not a factor anymore.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And again, Brewers lack of power. Well, you know, hey,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: home runs play in the playoffs. Well, so do hits.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Cubs didn't get any of either, really, in their two
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: games against San Diego. But the Brewers were second in
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the majors in runs. And only five teams, I think,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: have three starters who had the Armand's favorite OPS over 800.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Bowers, Churrio, and Terang. Yeah, and that's why I can't
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: sit Bowers for these.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know some people have thought about different
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: things in platoons and Desvaughn.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: We have options.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Last year in the NLCS, in the four games, the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Dodgers out Homer DeBoer 6-1. but they also just hit.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: One guy hit three in a game.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Well, that was the irony of until game four is
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: that the Dodgers were not blowing the Brewers out in
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: those games.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was just that the pitching was so dominant,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: maybe not blowing them out, just suffocating, suffocating, bow constricting.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: It felt like that from the, from the pitching performances
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: for sure. But it wasn't like they were throwing crazy
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: amounts of runs.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: It was last year that Ms kind of emerged in
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and he wasn't starting. And now he started and,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: You hate to say it because, like I said before,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: it's not exactly profound to say the worst you can
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: do is a split in these first two games and
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: then you lose home field. But you just, you know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: but you take your chances. But is there more pressure
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to win both? There's more pressure to win game one.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Because if you don't win with Miz on them, that's
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: when you get worried. Because and then if he if
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: it rolls around and you try to start him in
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: a game five, right, that would be.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a tough scene.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, winning game one, if you're going to go one-on-one,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: it behooves you to win game– because put it this way.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: If the Padres win game one and the Brewers don't
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: win when Miz pitches, and anything can happen. Like Murph
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: pointed out the other day, there's no ghost runner, so
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: you might have a 13-14 inning game.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Could have a very long one, yes. You have to
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: lengthen the pitching staff.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: But if you lose game one, then your task– becomes
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you got to win three out of four against the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Padres without Miz.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Without Miz.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: And I heard some people talking about it in terms
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: of the three-game series, Drew, that you'll have one genius
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: nerds tell you that the analytics would actually say, you
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: should actually start your best starter probably game two. If
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: your backs are against the wall, then you'd have a
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: better chance. No, I need to get one win. I
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: need to get one win and get one into the Bay.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: He's ready to go.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: He's rested and That's what happened.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Like I've said it a gajillion times, the Brewers, the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: way it lined up when the Brewers faced the Dodgers,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: they had their pitching all lined up and the Dodgers
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: had their best four games of the year in that series.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: They peaked. They almost lost the damn.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: World Series, but they won it. But to get there,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: they had their best four games. So when will the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Brewers best four games be? This series will be the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: next round. Well, you know, the rest versus rust. Like
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: we said, there was no rest versus rust last year.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: They won the first two games. Six runs in their
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: first inning.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: They had three consecutive doubles to start the play.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: It wasn't a problem. So we'll see. Three one was a.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: A Padres victory at AmFam the one time Miz faced
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: the Padres here in 2026 that was that game that
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: the Brewers felt like they had won one nothing going
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: into the bottom of the ninth and that was when
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: you rebate filled his socks and it was in that
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: the middle portion of the early two months where McGill
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: wasn't great and then all of a sudden they handed
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: it to your rebate and then he got to let
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: go he back to McGill and there was a little
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: bit of a rotation in the back end Miz was
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: good though he struck out 10 across seven shutout innings
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: but a Two guys on in the ninth inning, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, Sheets hits a three-run shot, and
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: the home folks are walking out sad.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Sheets hit the home run yesterday, too.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I was going to say. Don't wear Ben Sheets' jersey. Man,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: and they're chanting, holy Sheets. What a genius chant. That
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: is pretty brilliant. What a genius call there from Padres fans.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: But it just shows.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was a playoff game. It's going to
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: be very, very similar in this one. Hit us up
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: with your thoughts.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Nicolay Law.com. Talk to Texan. Sorry, Armin. No, we're good.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Jay Andrews on Twitter said there's nothing to worry about,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: so I feel better now.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, on YouTube. He mentioned on YouTube there's nothing
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: to worry about. I mean, I guess it's that easy,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: so I feel pretty good about that. Do you think
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: the Brewers are going to be prepared here now to
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: try and push Miz deeper if they have to or
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: a little further?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: A lot's been made about, I think it is in
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: two ways.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: A lot's been made about the fact that he hasn't
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: pitched as many innings as some starters do over the
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: course of a long Cy Young campaign.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: He's only pitched 170 innings, not 220. Okay. Okay.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: So are they more prepared to push him further if
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: they have to, to put the pedal down? I don't
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: think they might be, yeah. Or is it a situation, though,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: where he also throws harder than everybody else in the world?
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: So he's already had the strength.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Well, he's also 24. That's another factor.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's an innings buildup here that I think
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: kind of gets lost in that part of the conversation
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: going up against what?
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Sanchez had the 220? Sanchez, right.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Yep. And I think Sale was up there, too.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I don't remember.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Six, six innings of Ms. Uh, is better than six
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: and two thirds of most. So like, I'll be fine
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: if he doesn't give you an extra two outs and
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I have to give it to Ashby, your rebate and
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: McGill there in the backend. The thing for Ms. Though, Drew, you,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: you pointed out last year there was, I mean, I
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: remember doing the, having the conversation of like, How do
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: you use him?
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: You're going to use him.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: It's not like he's not going to be on the roster,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: but you don't necessarily know if you want him.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: To be in a big spot.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Wasn't he driving a little bit down Kyle Harrison Avenue
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: going into the playoffs? He lost his starting spot, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: then it was like, okay, we're going to try to plump,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: see how he does, and then he found it.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: In a situation where I think it's like, this guy's
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: been bumpy, the road's been bumpy for him, but his
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: arm is so live, you're not going to not try
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: and use him somewhere.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: That's kind of the Kyle Harrison dilemma right now. Yeah,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: it was rocky, but... I mean, he had a box
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: it and Miz was electric in the playoffs.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: He was amazing.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: He had the was a game two or game five
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: when he ran off fielding the ground ball and stepped
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: on first base and gave the scream into the crowd
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: fired up.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: He also did get get it out of the way.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: So this is going to be one that if indeed
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Fernando Tatis hits the first ball that Miz throws onto
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Bernie's slide, just know that has happened before, right? Like Suzuki,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I think hit that one into orbit last year in
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: the second inning. And then quick, then he was nails.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: So somebody is, I mean, with those kinds of power bats,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: somebody is going to time up a 102 mile an
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: hour fastball.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: But as long as the.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Walks are down, I'm feeling very, very, you worry about
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the Merrill Machado and Tatis law firm. And then in
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the playoff series, it's guys like Xander Bogarts that you've
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: got to hold down. Guys like that. So with the Brewers,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, you've got to worry about Churrio. And
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: people will say Yelich, Contreras, right? And then it's like
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the Bowers, right? But then Terang.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: But Ortiz.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: You need somebody to step up that. You don't expect
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Mitchell or somebody.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Come on down. Sheets hits the pinch hit home run
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: last night. That could very much be Andrew Vaughn's role, right? Like,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, you mentioned it that you want Bowers in
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: there every single day. I don't know how they're going
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: to maneuver those at bats around, but when there is
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: a left-handed pitcher on the bump, You best better believe
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Andrew Vaughn's going to be ready to roll, and you're
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: going to need one to two of those big swings.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: That's why, as you're watching.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: The Cubs series last year, felt like it might be magical,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: because you were getting that from Vaughn, who might have
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: been one of the under-expected guys to do that. Obviously,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: he was great throughout the season after he came over
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: in the middle of June, but to have those kind
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: of homers that you saw a year ago might not
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: be able to count on it. That game that I
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: was talking about, that 3-1 game, I'm at the duality
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: of the, of the game. The Padres had one hit
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: with runners in scoring position. It was the important one.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: The Gavin sheets, three run shot. They were one of
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: two with runners in scoring position. Didn't get anybody on base.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Only left four on brewers. 11, nine on base in
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: that game. One for 10 with runners in scoring position.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: And that drew was right in that time where you're like, wow,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: this team stinks. When the pressure's on, they can't hit
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: with runners in scoring position. How are they going to
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: do this throughout the year? Um, they were 23 and
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: 17 at that time. I think they figured it out.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: You get that many guys on base in the playoffs.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I'll feel good about being able to get.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: One into a gap.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Pretty much.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Keep them coming. Eight, seven, seven, seven, nine, four, one 97, three.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: If you're watching the other side of the bracket.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: The white socks are easy to root for because of
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: their turnaround. Uh, Yankees, um, stomp the red socks. That
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yankees race series is going to be really, really good.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: That is going to be knocked down.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: It's going to feel like the LCS and the Yankees
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: have looked good. And, You know, for all the reputation
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: they always get about the payroll and things like that,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: you know, it's the homegrown talent for the Yankees that's
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: gotten it done for them. I mean, when you look
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: at the guys that have played really well for them
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: and Schlittler and.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Rice and these guys.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, White Sox Guardians were battling all year in
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the division, but that doesn't have enough. That doesn't have
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the juice of Yankees race.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: No, it doesn't have the same juice. But I do
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: think this series is great. a good one to have
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: opposite of it drew. Cause I heard some people trying
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: to cry for the red side. How unfair is it
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: that they had to play the Yankees in this one? Well,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: tough nuts, tough nuts. Like don't finish third in the division. Well, Andrew,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: what was it? Don't be 14 games under 500 in
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: the middle of the year.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's, that's kind of the pens you pay.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: They only finished what two games ahead of Cleveland when
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: all was told after 162 games. So I think that's
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: going to be a great series. And I always enjoy
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: cheering for Stephen Vogt-led teams. So I'll have my eye
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: on that one for sure. But that AL Comedy Central, 85.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Wins, won it. Now they're going to have somebody in
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the ALCS. The Dodgers, you know, it helps them that
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: this series is going three. And with the winner take
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: all tonight in Atlanta, Braves-Phillies. But that's not an easy
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: draw for the Dodgers. They're going to get tested. Oh,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: one of those two teams.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Phillies didn't last year.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers play like they breeze through Colorado and roughed
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: them around. And they got Cincinnati in the three game.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I'm in Cincinnati.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: And then they had Philadelphia and they just dog walked
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: a year ago.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: But that Cincinnati thing was a layup. They did.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: They treated Cincinnati last year the way I remember it
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: being the way that the Padres treated the Cubs.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: It's like not even as light. Yes, it was like
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: never trailed and it was like light work.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: So.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Dodgers, Phillies, Braves, and then Brewers, Pods. It's
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: careening towards a rematch of Brewers, Dodgers. And I just
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: think it would be delicious if the Brewers win their
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: first World Series by beating the Dodgers and then the Yankees.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: And then we go into a winter where everybody says
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: small markets can't compete against big markets.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: It'll be right there in line. It'll be glorious. I
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: would love that. I'll be there for the Braves. That'll
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: be the backdrop.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: And you have to trip off... knock off the $ 3. 9
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: billion sold team in the San Diego Padres on the
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: way in. Like you said, the wannabe small market squad. Yeah,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: they spent money too. Small market stolen valor. You're not
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: a small market in San Diego. Not when you're valued
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: They're the guy down the street you forget what he's
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: got because he's not showing you all the time.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: John Kurzawa, were the Padres that good or the Cubs
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: that bad? I'll say yes. Both are true. I don't know.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: When your two main bats go 0 for 15 in
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: two games.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, that bad in two games.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: That bad in two games.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: If Churio and Contreras go 0 for 15 in two games,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I like the Brewers' chances of
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: being 500 going into San Diego for game three.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: I remember the year that Betts and Freddie Freeman did that.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: That's exactly the reminder. And then it was like, they
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: can't do it in the playoffs. Then they won World
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Series after that. That's what happens. Um, and again, okay. So, uh, 103,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: the one division, what does it matter? Well, it matters
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: that they didn't have to go play a three game
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: series and risk losing game one because, and look what
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: we just saw three of the four teams that, that
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: one game one didn't have to see a game three.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: That's how it goes in this thing, dude.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit less, uh, emphasized in a five gamer,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: but for the Brewers game one with Ms.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: To me, he's like, you gotta win that. That is
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: the must win. You got to win because I don't know.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I like the Brewers. Maybe I would say the.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Brewers 65% to win the series in my sports book.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Okay. Okay. I like that. But if Miz loses game one,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: that goes down to like. 45.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, Miz loses game one. If
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I'm sitting at 65, that flips to me like 65
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: on the other side.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: As you said, you got to win three out of
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: four without that guy.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tall order. Daunting.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Not impossible, but winning game one and take care, hold
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and serve at home in game one, huge. And then
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: all the pressures on San Diego going into game two
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: with Henderson. Boom, take your chances. All right, when we
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: come back, he's a Bears fan.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: He's a Yankees fan. He's a Hawkeyes fan.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: As Dobie told him yesterday, it's time for Scott Dolphin
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to buy a lottery ticket.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: It's his time. No kidding. He's going to join us next.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: year in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Drew Billion-Armond reunited. It feels so good. Thursday morning edition
• 19:57

• 20:09
  Speaker 1: L's lately. Our pal Scott dolphin from the country station
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: on the hall FM one Oh six. And Dolph is
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: a fan of the Iowa Hawkeyes beating Michigan hosting game
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: day Saturday, the New York Yankees steamrolling their hated rival.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: House money now as they go to Tampa. And he's
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: a fan of the Chicago Bears. Bear down who thumps Philadelphia.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: That's a good life to live.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: And the Milwaukee Brewers. So I'm hoping for a quadruple
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: sweep here starting Saturday.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: It very well could happen. So golf is in the
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: mix for that. Saturday is very good for you on
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: the viewing side, right? Like the timing is going to
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: work out for 730 first pitch.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Brewers to 30 Hawks win over Ohio State upset of
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: 14 and a half points.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: The only problem is I'm going to the Brewers game.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: So I'm going to have to take my phone and
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: watch the Hawks for the most part on because we'll
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: be tailgating as soon as they let us in the
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: lots out.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. Okay. Yeah. So you'll be
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: a little, you know, it's supposed to be a nice
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: day Saturday. It is supposed to be beautiful. What low
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: 60s is sunshine. Perfect.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: That seems like Dolph the day that you should be
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: taking the kitchen TV and putting that thing in the
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: back of the in the bed of the truck.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I like the idea.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Like a generator from our friends. Fire up the call
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: current electric generator. Or some of these things have, some
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: of these new trucks have, I mean, honestly, full voltage plugs.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: So we've got a Bronco, which has, I don't know
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: how many different outlets in it.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: That's basically a generator that you're driving around.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Allow me to take that to the ballpark, though.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: Those Broncos are nice, man. They're super nice. But the
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: problem is, my wife, man, we park in the corner
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: of every park. It far reaches remote locations. Parking space
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: you can find in any major parking lot.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Always with a new car.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: And this car, though, is over a year. It's like
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: a year and a half old. But it doesn't matter.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: She wants to keep that thing as scratch-free and ding-free
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: as possible. Is that the Sport or the big one? No,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: we got the big one. That makes you feel tough.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: We got the big one. We bought it. $ 1, right,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: for me, right? That'd be tough, right?
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: So we bought it almost nine months after the kids.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: It's 2025, so we got a better deal on it.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: For sure. Yeah, they're fun. They're big. They're not fun
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to fill up right now, I can tell you that. Oh,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: my goodness. Yeah, that's fair. Emotional damage, right? I mean,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: that's bad.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: I'm only allowed to drive it to the car wash
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: and the gas station.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's it.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Everything else is out of your purview. Those are the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: important places for us. You don't go off-roading on it.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: You don't take it up to the.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: You can find me in my 2017 manual transmission Jeep Wrangler.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: I had a buddy that was really into that type
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: of vehicle, right? I remember when we were in high school,
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: the Hummer came out, and he's like, this is my
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: dream car. I want the Hummer, like the original.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I'm like... And like the one LeBron was posing with
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: on SI. Yeah.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: And he's like, you know, living in urban environments. Okay.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: So I'm like, what are you going to do? Park
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: that in a parking garage? Like, I'm like, you don't go,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: you are not living out on the ranch.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Like you're not going ranching and off-roading, but it's just,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I know that we love those cars. That's type of
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: cars in America. They're fun. I mean, they look better.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: So Dolph is not a front runner. He's a brewer's guy.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: He goes to like, you go to regular games, high
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: fashion games. Well, Ben, I mentioned yesterday that because the
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Cubs are gone and the Padres aren't expected to travel
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: heavily into Milwaukee.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Ben from the University of Arrowhead. Good morning, gentlemen.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I just did a quick look at the secondary ticket market.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Right now, it appears ticket prices for game one are
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: down by an average of $ 185.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Per ticket on the field level. Whoa. So $ 185 field
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: level tickets. That's not terrible, right?
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: That's how much they're down. I think that's how much
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: they're down. I think they're still probably sitting around $ 200- ish.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: But yeah, they had ballooned there for a while.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: And I'm sure the hope, if you're a scalper, you
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: wanted to see the Cubs, obviously. But now it's San Diego.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: And it's good for the Brewers. It's still going to
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: be electric. The crowd's going to be earth ear shattering
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: loud on Saturday night. And I can't wait to be
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: there for it.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: I did lay the groundwork already with with the with
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: the wife of like maybe now with the 730 game,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: because I mean, 1130 kickoff for Bucky.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I'm homecoming.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: And then a very celebratory postgame show to dominate Pat
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Fitzgerald and the Michigan State Spartans head into the bye week.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I'm probably back by about 6.30.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: It feels like the perfect time to still be able
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: to make it out there.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I think so, Billy. But I have to punt on bedtime.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: So I did have to lay the groundwork to then
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: be able to just right off of 94. Why not
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: weave right there? Stop quickly at Potawatomi. Brewers score first
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: and win, and then pay for the ticket that way.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Canal Street's right there. You float the travel in first.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: You have to float it out there.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: And the way I've done it, Billy, strategy-wise, is I thought,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: maybe I can throw out something I can do for
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: her first. couch it that way and be like you
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: know i was thinking so so and so i could
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: get all these things done uh and then and then
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: start the conversation like you know i'm working out it's
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: a long day that is genius.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: By you armin holy cow right over and then i
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: can tell you i've done that and it has backfired
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: though yeah it doesn't always work i remember getting two
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: speeding tickets within a month i didn't say anything i
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: didn't say anything until christmas morning when my wife opened
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: her favorite present And then I laid it on her
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: that I had done.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, it softened the blow quite a bit.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but you ruined her moment for the Christmas.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: That was 25 years.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: She brings that up every year at Christmas time, that story,
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: how I dropped the two speeding ticket story on her
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: when she was opening her favorite present.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: And those are the things you think about. I mean, obviously,
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Saturday's game won. But, you know, Laura and I have
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: our anniversary situation. So you want to make sure you
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: don't totally step in it. You know, because there's some concrete,
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: if you step on it, it hardens and it doesn't change,
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: you know, like that.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: There's some things you can't repair. Hey, Billy knows it
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: comes with that. You guys all know this. It comes
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: with having a family. There's certain sports sacrifices you will
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: make in your lifetime.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: No doubt. You get the day off.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: During the week, though, Billy. No, that was, you know,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, we'll find some ways. Brian Bush told me once,
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: it's all battlefield, Armin. People these days, everybody's capable of multitasking.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: And on Sunday, that'll mean listening to Packers OT while
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: you're watching the Brewers game.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, come on. That's going to be the best way
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: to hang out.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Packers OT, you know, through the beginning portions of the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Brewers game.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: You don't want to be listening to that broadcast. That's
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: going to give you way too much consternation. The best
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: way to calm your Brewer fans' soul is listening to
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: us on Packers OT.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Hopefully talking about a victory because they're facing Jalen Daniels,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Lance Leipold's quarterback out of Kansas.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: If you can't win this game. It's going to get long.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: In this game, you got bigger problems than just the
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: offensive line.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: He's a nice player, but that's a tall task to ask.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: You got an undrafted rookie free agent.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I think the Packers, I would like them even if
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Baker was playing. think. Yeah, I didn't. I don't know
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: if it's a tough place to play. It's hot, right?
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Like 90 degrees with humidity. It's hot.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: That's the toughest thing about it. Raymond James is not
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: a difficult place to go and play, but the heat
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: is going to be one thing that you got to
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: deal with. The heat in your own house is tough
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: enough to deal with. They have to be able to
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: try to establish some kind of ground game. And I
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: wonder if that's a little bit more of the Hawkeye,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Caleb Johnson, who's got a little bit of pop. You
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: got to hold on to the football, but he's got
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: a little bit of pop. And at least he's got
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: a little bit of vision North and South, because I mean,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: the way the bears are playing right now, they can
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: line anybody up at quarterback and run because they've got
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: a system and they got an identity.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Packers got to find their identity.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: And you would hope that they would be able to
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: get a running game against this team. I mean, Tampa
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Bay just seems even more, lost than green bay right
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: now it's it's just watching them it's like what happened
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: to this once proud team that baker mayfield took to
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: the playoffs what.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah how many times they might you'd say they're desperate
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: for a win but so are the packers so it's
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: a weird situation it's and.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: With mayfield what is it he 56 57 straight starts
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: before getting hurt it was it was a hell of.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: A long time yes and i mean he played that's
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: one of the reasons why he's not in cleveland Because
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: he tore that labrum on his non-throwing shoulder and played
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: with it all year long, came up here to Green Bay,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: gave up four Christmas gifts, INTs on the 25th, just
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: slid down the back of the dinosaur in that final
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: year there.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: And Stefanski's like, yeah, I'm done with this. We're not
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: playing this.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the best part about his career with the Browns
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: was the commercials he did where he actually lived at
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: the stadium.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Those are good. He's out there walking. They're so good.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: The progressive things. Progressive, yeah. Yeah, that's right.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Well, they used to call it, you know, before the
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Packers started really, you know, improving, getting good in the 90s.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Early 90s was just the bad pigs, right? Drew, was
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: this the joke about guys?
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: NFC Central.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Because Tampa and Green Bay were both stinking up the joint.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: That was such an oddball. I always thought Dallas, that
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: was the oddball being in the NFC East. But when
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: the Buccaneers joined the NFC Central, that topped it.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Detroit, Minnesota, Chicago, Green Bay, and Tampa. It was
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: an automatic two wins for everybody every year.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, until they started getting good, right, in the late 90s.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: You know, the All-Star War done.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: There has been so, obviously, there have been a lot
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: of battles between these, one in 2020 that we don't
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: like to think about.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: But I can't see the two helmets and not think
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: of Mike Sherman and Warren Sapp.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's the one. It's just instantly where my
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: mind goes when I think of Raymond James.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: And he was about to, but I got to give
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Mike Sherman credit. He pointed right back at him. And
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: we know how dangerous points can be now.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I can't remember.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: Did he did he use the P word like Nick
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: Sirianni did on Monday Night Football when he was pointing
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: at Warren?
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: You know what? That's a John boy.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: I'd like to go back in time type of thing.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: Like I was a John boy. I don't know what
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: the word would be. Retribution to go back and try
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: and look at that to try and break that down
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: because we didn't get a full. We got like a
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: half mic on that kind of a pickup. Yeah, it
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: was a little bit. But I think Warren.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: I think Mike's probably good that it didn't go that way.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of things that I would say in
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: that situation. The Nick Sirianni would.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Not have been one of them. That would not. have
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: been one of them.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: A lot of things you could say, and that would
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: have been something that would have been as far off
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: on the lexicon of Mike Sherman as possible.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: I remember when he hit Clifton. That was the play
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: that pissed him off. Clifton was messed up for a
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: while after that.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: He was. Did he play the rest of the year?
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I don't remember. He was pretty messed up. I got
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: to meet him.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: We did a years and years. We used to go
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: to Nashville for fanfare. Now it's called the CMA Music Festival.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: And he was a Nashville resident, Tennessee, University of Tennessee, right?
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: Was Chad Clifton of all?
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: So he was a neighbor of this record executive dude
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: out in a posh area of Franklin, Tennessee. And and
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: they had Kip Moore doing a little pool party, playing
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: his little swim shorts. And Chad Clifton strolled across the.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: street and hung out with us for a while it's
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: pretty cool awesome yeah it's pretty cool that's see now
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: that's what nashville used to now it's franklin tennessee now
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: it's just every the franklin of the rich all over the.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Place huh ritzy part of it can't even just have
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: somebody strumming a six-string sit down in your swim shorts
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: used to live in a proper society.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: As uh our friend kb calls it a nashville's daytona
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: with a belt buckle now It has completely changed.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. It has changed for the better
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: in a lot of ways.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: I remember going down there early in my radio career,
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: and you did not go down to Broadway, which is
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: now the famous part of Nashville, after dark.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: You didn't do it. It was like Times Square in
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: New York at one point.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: Until the 90s rolled around, once the Shania Garth stuff hit,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden you started seeing country
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: stars with restaurants and bars, and then.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden you got.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: The only thing that I don't like about Nashville is
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: the day after. Like, that hangover flight, that hungover flight
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: home or drive home is brutal.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Otherwise, while you're there, way too much fun. And the
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: surge pricing.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Like, when the Titans are in town or, you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: especially if they're playing a team like the Packers and
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: your Miller Lite goes from $ 5 to $ 12.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Or when Tobias Myers is pitching for the Sounds. Oh,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: that's fair. Yeah, that's going to blow the place up
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Yeah.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I'm glad that Nashville is still holding firm because it
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: feels like Austin. Is trying really hard to take over.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: That's a bucket list item.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Have you been there, Drew? Yes. I haven't been. Yeah,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: like it. I would love to go there sometime. That's
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: a good spot.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: We were listening to, I mean, Miles Turner was telling
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: us at Bucks Media Day on Monday, Drew. He's like,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: one of the reasons why he had all the boys
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: down to Austin was like, had a bunch of guys
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: on the team that had never been they never been
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: to austin i didn't realize that it was becoming like
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: vegas nashville new york austin.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: For music lovers there's always been that segment you know
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: texas the texas music scene and austin is obviously the.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Street that's you know where the university is that's their
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: state street austin city music clubs austin city limits one
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: of my favorite shows.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Great show it's been on for 50 60 years right
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: so you get that you get that texas sound that
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: hill country texas sound in different A lot of people
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: come out of that state, and now they've got the
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: South by Southwest music festival that runs in March.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: It sounds like it just, but every time you go there,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: there's another wing of it that keeps getting built up.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: It just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because Austin, like 20 years ago, was like the
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: hidden gem type.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Everyone wanted to go there, and then it blew up.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: And then it was like, oh, keep Austin weird because
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: so a lot of people were moving there.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Exactly, but now it's grown to where it's choked its infrastructure.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Too many people have moved there. The roads can't handle it.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: It's kind of a mess. It's fun, downtown and stuff,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: but living there would be rougher than it would be. Well,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: it happened in Phoenix, too.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I was just going to say Phoenix. Dallas-Fort Worth, I
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: remember when that was still manageable. Now it's ridiculous. Cudahy, St. Francis,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: South Milwaukee, same thing. That corridor. Lane Avenue is just
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: crazy when it gets backed up. Son of a gun.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: While you're still basking in the glow of all your
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: recent victories, do you know who's starting for your beloved
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Bears on Sunday, or does it matter?
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Playing the Jets.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: You have to play the hot hand. I don't think
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: there's a question. You don't go to Tyson Bajan at
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: this point. Love the kid. He's a great backup, but
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: you've got.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: To go with the hot hand.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: But then why the mystery? Like yesterday, Ben Johnson wouldn't declare.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: He's like, we know what direction we're going, but why
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: not just say it? Because Ben thinks he's.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Cool now and funny and smart. That's really the reason.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: All right, there you go.
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: That's what it is. As long as he keeps his
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: shirt on. It's what we see in sports. It's what
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: you saw the Padres saying last night. We have no
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: idea who we're starting in game one. We'll figure that out.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: You know you're starting in game one.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Spray champagne and then we'll figure it out. He's got
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: some real gamesmanship. Got a lot of juice. But I'm
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: with you, Dolph. There's no way I'm turning away from
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Keenum after that. I don't know how you could.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, you're playing the Jets at home. He's comfortable
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: at Soldier Field after Monday night, obviously. Stick with the
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: hot hand. I would think. If he has a bad game,
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: maybe he can pull the switch.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Unless, as he said, he is 38. The body getting
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: back is going to be a little bit difficult.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: True.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: He might have to watch a little too much Bluey,
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: it sounded like, on that post-game interview with Scott Van Pelt.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: So I immediately think the cold water to the ice tub.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: But what else in this modern technology? You guys are
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: on the Packers enough to know. Do they have those
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: infrared spas now that they get in?
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Hyperbaric chambers.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: All of it. All of it.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Well, and the Theragun's nothing anymore. It used to be
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: that was the cutting edge. Now that's everyone's Black Friday purchase.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Everybody's got.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: The interesting one is the full leg sleeves. Like the
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: stem leg sleeves would be the one.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: That they're sitting around in. That feels very good. There
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: is the one where you realize like, well, I understand
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: why people sit in these all the time.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: So that would be it. All right.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Never got to give us intrigue because, you know, the
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Jets won't know who to prepare for.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Like, it matters. Yeah, right. Yeah.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: I still think it's a little little middle finger to
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: his old coordinator, pal. I mean, this is the this
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: is the battle that is the battle of that broke
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Dan Campbell. Hadn't been the same since these two walked
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: out of the doors.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: That was tough for the Lions. I mean, yeah.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't know if there's a team in the
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: NFL that can't say the same thing when you lose
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: a great offensive defensive coordinator.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe the Patriots.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: I guess they were able to do just fine every
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: year when somebody like Romeo Cornell or.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but the only one that's done anything since has
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: been Josh McDaniel. So he gets a he gets his
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: ninth head coaching job, fails after nine more games and
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: they bring him back and then they can win.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: How about that? That guy's a lot of confidence around
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: the league.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: But apparently I don't think he's getting another job from
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: what I heard he did in Jim Irsay's bathroom.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: That might not happen. That might not happen.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I heard about this. Or was
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: it Jim Irsay did it in Josh McDaniel's bathroom? You
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: know what?
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: I'll have to do some Googling during the break. You
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: got to do some Googling during the break. Yeah, you
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: got to do some Googling during the break.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: That's separate than the Brable? That's not the Brable thing?
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: No.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: There has to be a Netflix series already. If not,
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: there has to be one on the life of Jim Irsay.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: I would watch all two seasons, three seasons.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: We are five days away from the Saban doc coming out.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: Oh. Oh, wow.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: And I cannot agree. Are these all untolds, though? Saban
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: is a 30 for 35 part series.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Now we're talking. Now we're talking. While you're 30 for
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: 30 multiple part, now we're going to get a good production.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. Armand's now excited.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: They've got a camera of him telling Tua and Jalen
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Hurts that they're changing during the national championship game.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: He's been building this one for a while. They've got
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: some content. And that's Nick Saban. What are you going
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: to say to him? What are you going to say?
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: It's Nick Saban. That's Lombardi. Like, okay. It's true.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: He is the Lombardi of college football. Dolph, thanks for
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: hanging out with us. Appreciate you.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Thanks, fellas.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: We will be back quickly with Who's Hot, Who's Not
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen. Don't forget, Hunter Baumgart
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: joins us at 7. Bill Schroeder at 725. You're in
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Back on the huddle,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, Drew, Billy, and Armin. Time for
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: a little Who's Hot, Who's Not brought to us by
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Donovan Jorgensen, heating and cooling the HVAC.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Experts, employee-owned for 40 years. Billy, who do you got
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: for Who's Hot, Who's Not?
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I got one guy who was very hot last night. Now,
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: it was for a couple of different reasons. Man, we
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: talk about Sonny Gray. The audio that Sonny Gray had
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: after the game was hilarious to listen to. You could
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: hear it in his voice, the frustration. He said, I'm
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: the best in the American League going third time through
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: the order. I think that's a fact. When he looks
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: up and looks at the reporters and said, I think
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: that's a fact. You could tell he was a little
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: ticked after being pulled in the fifth inning and then
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: quickly run crosses for the Yankees. They freight train with
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: six in the sixth inning, and it was curtains for
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: there for the Boston Red Sox, who had one of
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: the best returns.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say to glory.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: To relevancy, and then into the postseason on their, what
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: did they go, 30-4 in the middle of the year?
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. At one point, 30-6 to be able to get here.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: And then they get two games in the Bronx and
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: a quick exit and an early trip to Cabo. So
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: not hot were the Boston Red Sox. One guy that's
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: very hot in that series, though, and hopefully the Brewers
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: can have one of their young rookies, perform like George
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Lombard Jr.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: Is. Oof.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: In the two games, he hits 500, comes through yesterday
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: with a big base hit, scores a run, drives one in.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: He had been phenomenal starting at shortstop, and he's going
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: to get a ton of opportunities. It could be a
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: pair of rookie shortstops, if both make it all the way,
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: of a Cooper Pratt, Lombard Jr. Pairing there in the
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: World Series. He's definitely hot. Also, Cody Bellinger with a
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: three-run shot yesterday. Yeah, Bellinger threw out his dad threw
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: out the first pitch.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: To him, right? Yeah. How do you describe... Bryce Harper's
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Day yesterday. Is that hot or not? Oh, man, both.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, the redemption from GOAT and the old use
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: of GOAT to hero.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: I was going to ask the official scoring acumen on
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: the show, the hometown call there on the double, or
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: what did.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: You think of that one? I don't think so. I mean,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: it's like guys take bad routes and stuff. You just.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: As somebody that had this play or not, as somebody
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: that had Drake Baldwin over one and a half total
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: bases at the Pottawatomie Sportsbook, I was very glad they
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: ruled it a double. I didn't think they were ruling
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: it a double. They clanks off the glove. But the
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Phillies go back to back with Schwarber and Harper. Those
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: two hot. They did it twice in the regular season.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: One time yesterday to stave off elimination. Phillies win it
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: for three. Alec Boehm with the game winner in the tent.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: So.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: They play a game later on tonight. That's definitely going
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: to be a hot.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: One to be able to watch. Yeah. Cubs definitely not hot.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: BCA 0 for 8.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Bregman 0 for 7.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: In the series.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: As well 15 they go over 15 in the two
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: games they scored one run and had eight hits in
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: two games there is your most prolific offense during the
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: regular season.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: Top ops in all baseball and the most homers in
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: the nl third in baseball oh we always thought that
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: that's what plays in the playoff so it doesn't play
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: when you don't do.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: It There you go. Donovan Jorgensen, sponsor of Who's Hot,

  Speaker 3: and France, all. Two hits last night. Jackson Merrill's been
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: a freight train lately. Those are the guys to watch.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Good players. Good players. You're going to face good players.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: You got to beat good players to be able to
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: get to where you want to be hard. Absolutely. And
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: the Brewers have good players, too. And talk about who's hot,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: who's not.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: I got a story from Yahoo Sports here, Drew, of
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: the hot seats and the biggest buyouts in college football.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Crazy what one win against the top 15 team can do.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Eight coaches listed here with Lincoln Riley, Shane Beamer, Mike Loxley,
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Bill Belichick, Mike Norvell. Sonny Dykes, Greg Shiano, Deion Sanders.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Not one mention of one Luke Fickle. Stack it up
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: with a win here today, and you won't be on any.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Of those lists.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Let's call that progress. Let's call that progress. You're off
• 40:40
