0:00
Speaker 1: Is it too early to get a drink on the
0:01
Speaker 1: flight out there? I don't think so.
0:03
Speaker 2: Is he gonna be like they have any he shared
0:06
Speaker 2: some of the itinery. Is there any just like flop
0:08
Speaker 2: on the beach time? Like hungover, crash on the beach.
0:11
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you asked yes, so not there was
0:17
Speaker 1: a beach pool relaxing time. I believe that was from
0:22
Speaker 1: four to five thirty tonight. It might be a little different,
0:25
Speaker 1: but tomorrow there was a an optional event. You can
0:32
Speaker 1: opt in or opt out. I don't know if you
0:33
Speaker 1: had to sign a permission slip, but one to like
0:37
Speaker 1: the And I'm gonna potentially mess it up here, but
0:41
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it was like the Miami Botanical Gardens
0:45
Speaker 1: in a museum. Okay. And Arman's like, that sounds awesome,
0:50
Speaker 1: that sounds really fun. It's at like nine thirty in
0:52
Speaker 1: the morning. My brother, I got bad news for you.
0:55
Speaker 1: You're the only person that's going yeah, that's so true.
0:59
Speaker 1: There is no chance that anybody else is getting up
1:02
Speaker 1: by this batchel. But now maybe there are a bunch
1:05
Speaker 1: of people that are really into you know, the into
1:07
Speaker 1: ergonomics and definitely gonna want to get all of those uh,
1:11
Speaker 1: all those beautiful sights and sounds and visuals. But I'm
1:14
Speaker 1: pretty positive that's gonna be a U event. He's like, well,
1:18
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I'll just go and I'll just
1:20
Speaker 1: I'll just tell everybody what they missed. They made sure
1:23
Speaker 1: you do and make sure Drew I told him as well,
1:26
Speaker 1: Like in the uber back. I mean, you can do
1:29
Speaker 1: it on your phone. You can probably put a quick
1:30
Speaker 1: little power point together on Google slides. Just just go
1:33
Speaker 1: through the rundown and let everybody know about what they missed.
1:37
Speaker 1: I think they'd really appreciate that.
1:40
Speaker 2: Drinking their amotaging arm and come on, I just thought it.
1:44
Speaker 1: Would be a good idea. You have to fill everybody in. Hey, guys,
1:48
Speaker 1: this is what you missed. There were flowers. They were
1:51
Speaker 1: red and blue and white. Pretty. It was awesome.
1:54
Speaker 3: Uh.
1:54
Speaker 1: We got a lot of listener participation on the the
1:57
Speaker 1: YouTube comments though, because our boy Tim said, good to
1:59
Speaker 1: see you boys this morning. And so we're going to
2:01
Speaker 1: the games this weekend in Denver. Always a great time
2:04
Speaker 1: representing and supporting the crew at Coors Field. He said,
2:09
Speaker 1: it's the same elevation in Colorado Springs as it is
2:11
Speaker 1: in Denver. Drew there were a ton of Giants fans
2:15
Speaker 1: at American fans this weekend, and I guess I didn't.
2:20
Speaker 1: I don't think the Giants are a big bandwagon team,
2:23
Speaker 1: just a bunch of like families, And it felt like
2:25
Speaker 1: a lot of visitors going and taking in the ballpark
2:28
Speaker 1: here this weekend. They got a big fan base, they
2:31
Speaker 1: got a loyal one, that's for sure. But there were
2:34
Speaker 1: a ton of Giants fans this weekend, and I would
2:36
Speaker 1: assume there always are, but I would assume there's gonna
2:39
Speaker 1: be a ton of Brewers fans there at coors Field.
2:43
Speaker 1: I would think. Is coors Field like the baseball version
2:46
Speaker 1: of a Legion Stadium, where it's probably sixty forty visitor
2:50
Speaker 1: fans every single game. There's that's a city with a
2:53
Speaker 1: lot of transplants, a ton. Yes, everybody's moving to Denver
2:56
Speaker 1: in Nashville for a while. Yeah, And so that there's
2:59
Speaker 1: that element of it. And it's a They are a
3:01
Speaker 1: big regional team too, I mean, but they draw from
3:04
Speaker 1: like Wyoming, and oh that makes sense. Sure, They're kind
3:08
Speaker 1: of like the Cardinals in that way, like the Rockies,
3:10
Speaker 1: fans are spread out over those less populated states. It
3:13
Speaker 1: also has just a cool allure to it. I've never
3:16
Speaker 1: been there. I've had about two different Botch trips to
3:19
Speaker 1: Coors Field, and I've walked around and drank outside of
3:22
Speaker 1: the ballpark quite a few times. Being out in Denver
3:25
Speaker 1: seems like a great place for the ball get Low
3:27
Speaker 1: Dough neighborhood is kind of cool. Oh that is a
3:29
Speaker 1: good spot. Yeah, that is that is a good good
3:31
Speaker 1: time down there.
3:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's Yeah, it's interesting though, because you know, yeah,
3:36
Speaker 2: that's a destination for sure. And the Packers played there
3:39
Speaker 2: this year. That was the game when everything went off
3:41
Speaker 2: the rail. So we don't spend a lot of time
3:42
Speaker 2: talking about what a great party it was with people
3:44
Speaker 2: who went. But that is a destination for Wiscon, for
3:46
Speaker 2: anybody for Wiscon. It's lovely there year round. If you're
3:49
Speaker 2: into skiing and stuff, you can obviously go there in
3:51
Speaker 2: the winter, but if you're into I went to Veil
3:54
Speaker 2: one time in the summer and had a really good,
3:56
Speaker 2: cool time hiking and riding bikes and stuff.
3:58
Speaker 1: So I love that. I love that place. Uh, and
4:01
Speaker 1: and not only for the reasons that that came in
4:04
Speaker 1: near the uh you know, the twenty fourteen time Yeah,
4:07
Speaker 1: that was when I made my first trip out there,
4:10
Speaker 1: UH and took the tour of the uh the football
4:12
Speaker 1: stadium at elevation there and in power Field. They let
4:15
Speaker 1: you know everywhere drew Like, I think that's one place
4:18
Speaker 1: that's very proud of where they're at. They let you
4:20
Speaker 1: know every single spot in that stadium. This is over
4:25
Speaker 1: five thousand feet above sea level, just like just so
4:27
Speaker 1: you know, you're up in the clouds a little bit.
4:30
Speaker 1: You're you're up in the clouds a little bit. But
4:32
Speaker 1: it it is one of the stranger downtown sports maps
4:36
Speaker 1: because nothing's really close to each other, but nothing's really
4:39
Speaker 1: that far out of downtown. Yeah, right, like the State
4:43
Speaker 1: the Arena is on one corner. The baseball stadium's got
4:47
Speaker 1: its own little district. The football stadium you can kind
4:49
Speaker 1: of see from everywhere, but it's a little bit of
4:51
Speaker 1: a train ride out. It's a cool spot. They got
4:54
Speaker 1: really really good light rail system down there as well.
4:56
Speaker 1: Very cool there. Their version of what the hop is
4:59
Speaker 1: on that sixth Avenue. That's a cool hop. That's one
5:02
Speaker 1: that people drive that that's one that people actually take
5:05
Speaker 1: because it takes you all through all the different areas
5:07
Speaker 1: where you can go. It's a good, good time, great
5:09
Speaker 1: weekend for folks down there. Yeap.
5:12
Speaker 2: Now, as much as we extol the virtues of Denver,
5:15
Speaker 2: the back of the burrs are going to Vegas after this.
5:17
Speaker 1: Yes, and that's that's and also a good time.
5:20
Speaker 2: From the Nicola talking Textaine eight seven seven seven nine
5:23
Speaker 2: four seven three from the six of eight. Why didn't
5:25
Speaker 2: the brus games in Vegas?
5:27
Speaker 1: Uh? Why didn't they get Ballyhood does an epic party? Well,
5:32
Speaker 1: the number one reason is because of how far it
5:35
Speaker 1: is like it would be an epic party for the
5:38
Speaker 1: Vegas games and will be when they play those games
5:42
Speaker 1: on the strip. Yeah, this is a little different. This
5:44
Speaker 1: is gonna be a This is gonna be a little different.
5:46
Speaker 1: I do know a decent amount of people that are
5:48
Speaker 1: going out there. Our buddy the franchise going out there. Uh,
5:51
Speaker 1: and he's just gonna hang out. But now he knows
5:53
Speaker 1: Vegas better than anybody. I think it's like ninth time
5:55
Speaker 1: or something going out there. But is a legit. Twenty
6:00
Speaker 1: five minutes from the strip, gonna be beautiful views. You
6:03
Speaker 1: can go over to Red Rock Casino, which is a
6:05
Speaker 1: phenomenal spot across the street from the ballpark. Yep. But
6:09
Speaker 1: this is a full minor league stadium getting major League
6:12
Speaker 1: Baseball games, and uh, it doesn't seem like that. Many people,
6:19
Speaker 1: I don't know Drew are fully understand just how far
6:22
Speaker 1: away it is. Like it is, it is. It is
6:25
Speaker 1: a hike. It's like if you're going and staying downtown
6:28
Speaker 1: Milwaukee and they're playing these games at the corners of Brookfield. Yeah,
6:31
Speaker 1: that's a good, pretty good analogy. I mean, maybe even
6:35
Speaker 1: a little further, maybe maybe they're going and playing on
6:37
Speaker 1: Ocachi Lake, Like this is close to being in downtown
6:42
Speaker 1: Milwaukee and going and seeing our buddy Paul Wagner at
6:45
Speaker 1: the Dockhounds, which again you probably should tonight Tonight's Glazer Night.
6:49
Speaker 1: Oh that's it, Tonight's Glazer Night. Huge. If you're not
6:52
Speaker 1: going to the Dockhounds game, I don't know what you're
6:54
Speaker 1: doing out there on the All Timers. That is one
6:56
Speaker 1: of the greatest promotions I have ever heard of. Definitely
7:00
Speaker 1: one that I should be taking advantage of. Our friend
7:02
Speaker 1: Mike Wit said, howdy boys, two things. First nine runs
7:06
Speaker 1: and you lose. Yikes, yeah, one, but he got two
7:09
Speaker 1: guys bring gas cans to the mound. That'll generally happen.
7:13
Speaker 1: Woodford Reserve just lit the Bourbot on fire yesterday when
7:16
Speaker 1: he went out there and took the bump. But he
7:19
Speaker 1: also got called in in fireman duty after one guy
7:21
Speaker 1: got laced across the forearm. Secondly, as Mike Witz said
7:25
Speaker 1: here on the YouTube comments, Drew Christian Watson extends, awesome,
7:28
Speaker 1: get Tucker Craft done next and we're good. The Craft
7:33
Speaker 1: contract has to be next, you would assume, but there's
7:37
Speaker 1: definitely gonna be one to two more. They got a
7:39
Speaker 1: lot of salary cap room. And Parsons was discussing it
7:42
Speaker 1: the other day. No, he didn't spin through all of
7:44
Speaker 1: what Micah had talked about, but he talked about like
7:47
Speaker 1: windows and these things are these things are finite. You
7:51
Speaker 1: gotta be able to strike while the iron's hot. And
7:53
Speaker 1: we know that this is more about the playoffs. When
7:56
Speaker 1: you got a certain amount of guys making a bunch
7:57
Speaker 1: of money, the window gets a little tighter. The Watson
8:01
Speaker 1: and Reid contracts and the one yesterday four years, one
8:03
Speaker 1: hundred and ten point seventy five million, whatever it is,
8:06
Speaker 1: thirty one million signing bonus guaranteed up front. That's gonna
8:10
Speaker 1: at least I feel like Drew open you up to
8:14
Speaker 1: keeping more players that you believe are still core, core
8:18
Speaker 1: foundational pieces like an Evan Williams or Demonte whyatt then
8:22
Speaker 1: if you had to go the full Cincinnati method where
8:25
Speaker 1: they're paying two guys, especially on the outside top top
8:27
Speaker 1: of the market with Higgins and Chase, and then you
8:30
Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot of wiggle room to do
8:32
Speaker 1: anything else. Like you you pay five guys and that's
8:36
Speaker 1: gonna be it. You're gonna have a ton of draft
8:39
Speaker 1: picks that are gonna have to hit with you. They're
8:41
Speaker 1: now going into a spot where they still have a
8:43
Speaker 1: little bit of maneuverability if they'd go and grab somebody.
8:47
Speaker 1: But they wanted to lock a lot of these guys up,
8:48
Speaker 1: and they're using a decent amount of cap space here.
8:50
Speaker 1: Now that's what they have it for. They saved it,
8:53
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, are they gonna go get Are we
8:55
Speaker 1: gonna unload this eighteen million Drew on Josh Sweat, Yeah no,
8:59
Speaker 1: I'm Christian Watson and Tucker Craft and buying a couple
9:02
Speaker 1: of lakefront properties with the direct deposits that are yeah, yeah,
9:06
Speaker 1: that's my goodness. We live in interesting times and the
9:09
Speaker 1: packers are going about their business, and I again, we
9:11
Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprised because this probably should have been expected
9:16
Speaker 1: these moves. Yeah, the reader will still seem surprising. Does
9:21
Speaker 1: the timing surprise you? Maybe more of it, like the
9:24
Speaker 1: Read one definitely surprised me on Draft night or day
9:28
Speaker 1: two of the draft one, because I thought the NFL
9:31
Speaker 1: just tried to embargo it and say, hey, guys, do
9:33
Speaker 1: all your clerical work either before the draft or after
9:36
Speaker 1: the draft. Don't take a don't take away from our
9:38
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh event. But tonight the Watson one, you could clearly
9:42
Speaker 1: say they had it pencil as soon as we could
9:45
Speaker 1: sign them. Again, we're going to do it. And they
9:48
Speaker 1: they took that fifty year option essentially last year and
9:52
Speaker 1: then re upped them for big cash, but a little
9:54
Speaker 1: bit less than Alec Peerscott, who seems like the number
9:58
Speaker 1: one comp people were trying to make yesterday for somebody
10:02
Speaker 1: that at least season that was the name you heard
10:06
Speaker 1: more than any other. Is that fair? They play a
10:11
Speaker 1: similar game, right, They're both kind of explosive guys. The
10:16
Speaker 1: the tough part about Pierce is, I mean his contract
10:19
Speaker 1: came and then they immediately had to trade Michael Pittman right,
10:24
Speaker 1: like they had. They had to trade him off the
10:25
Speaker 1: books to be able to pay Piers. Now, you could
10:28
Speaker 1: say the Packers did that since they let Bob's walk
10:31
Speaker 1: and then signed Red and Watson. But I don't know
10:35
Speaker 1: a whole lot of Packers fans that were against those moves.
10:38
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I don't know that there were
10:40
Speaker 1: many people that I was finding out or talking to
10:42
Speaker 1: that would have done it differently.
10:45
Speaker 2: Is this a well this is goody russ ball? How
10:48
Speaker 2: much is that policy involved in this? Just saying you guys,
10:51
Speaker 2: good job, guys. What's going on over here? You guys
10:53
Speaker 2: know you spend that money? Okay, good, make sure we
10:55
Speaker 2: spent some of that. We don't know like the the
10:58
Speaker 2: machinations of this, and we don't know who's next, but
11:02
Speaker 2: we assume it's Craft and Wyatt and that the deals
11:04
Speaker 2: will get done in camp or before the first game.
11:07
Speaker 1: Do you think Craft they anybody wants to wait just
11:10
Speaker 1: to see him get back on the field. I mean fans, yes,
11:14
Speaker 1: But I don't know about the organization. What do you think?
11:16
Speaker 1: I mean? I couldn't. I don't know about the organization.
11:20
Speaker 1: I wonder if like his agency is like, hey, let's
11:22
Speaker 1: just get you on the field, ball out a little bit,
11:25
Speaker 1: then we'll hit him again. But I mean, when you're
11:27
Speaker 1: coming off an injury, in acl injury, hard to say
11:29
Speaker 1: you're gonna keep banking and betting on yourself when there's
11:31
Speaker 1: guaranteed money thrown at you. That's the thing with Watson,
11:34
Speaker 1: Like both sides could have played hardball with this. I
11:38
Speaker 1: don't know that it would have been advantageous for either side.
11:41
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily know I would have done it. Somebody's
11:44
Speaker 1: floating a thirty one million dollars signing bonus in front
11:47
Speaker 1: of my face, Drew, It's gonna be hard for me
11:49
Speaker 1: to say no. Hard to say no, hard to say
11:51
Speaker 1: no to that. But I that's what agents are there for.
11:55
Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt talked about it when Scott Bors was on
11:57
Speaker 1: his line of the eight year fifty million, he got
12:00
Speaker 1: to look at all the other options. There's a spot
12:02
Speaker 1: when later into the year, eleven twelve games in Christian
12:07
Speaker 1: Watson's one of the top say, fifteen receivers in football
12:11
Speaker 1: yard as wise, maybe top ten, big red zone production,
12:16
Speaker 1: big touchdowns. But they're looking at this thing saying, man,
12:19
Speaker 1: if we would have just we would have just waited,
12:21
Speaker 1: we would have made them tag us, or we would
12:22
Speaker 1: have been able to really break the bank at the
12:25
Speaker 1: end of the year, or you know, the injury questions
12:28
Speaker 1: become even more concerns over the next couple of years
12:31
Speaker 1: and becomes a problem. Either way, you're not going to
12:35
Speaker 1: bankrupt your salary cap with whatever these financials look like.
12:41
Speaker 1: Is that fair to say? Like? Yeah, either way, if
12:43
Speaker 1: this goes as bad as possible and he is not
12:47
Speaker 1: able to put the injuries behind him, I don't think
12:50
Speaker 1: this is going to cripple you or hamstring you going
12:52
Speaker 1: forward to being able to do a couple more moves,
12:54
Speaker 1: I don't think.
12:55
Speaker 4: So.
12:55
Speaker 1: That's the genius part of it, for US ball to
12:57
Speaker 1: be able to stripe all the irons hots.
13:00
Speaker 2: That's the calculus that goes in. All right once again
13:02
Speaker 2: eight seven seven, seven ninety four, one ninety seven to three,
13:06
Speaker 2: some positive news from the Packers again, I expect. I
13:09
Speaker 2: don't know what the timing will be. Maybe you're right,
13:11
Speaker 2: Tucker Craft, maybe it'll be announced later. But Wyatt's got
13:14
Speaker 2: to be during camp, I would imagine, because you look
13:17
Speaker 2: at that position and those are the next two guys,
13:19
Speaker 2: and then I start looking around at the other spots
13:21
Speaker 2: on the roster, and that's when I came up with
13:23
Speaker 2: the Evan Williams Xavier McKinney kind of deal. Yeah, which
13:27
Speaker 2: I think that's like, what where does this leave those guys?
13:30
Speaker 2: And as Xavier McKinney on his way out, you know,
13:33
Speaker 2: because packers like to the draft and develop and reward
13:38
Speaker 2: the guys who've been here, right.
13:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, and McKinney you don't necessarily think about. But I
13:42
Speaker 1: mean they don't give out a hell of a lot
13:44
Speaker 1: of third contracts, right, I mean, we were expect expecting
13:48
Speaker 1: that with the Josh Jacobs conversation. That's why many people
13:53
Speaker 1: were wondering what his number would be. McKinney playing on
13:56
Speaker 1: a restructuring of the four year sixty seven million. They
13:59
Speaker 1: just did it earlier this year. They've fully guaranteed a
14:02
Speaker 1: bunch more on the signing bonus to lower his cap number.
14:07
Speaker 1: But next year the dead cap money or the cap
14:10
Speaker 1: hit will be twenty four million bucks. So they're either
14:12
Speaker 1: gonna avoid it and move more things around, or you
14:15
Speaker 1: would think Drew extend him after this year and try
14:19
Speaker 1: to push even more money of that around. Right now,
14:21
Speaker 1: they've already put two and a half million into twenty eight,
14:26
Speaker 1: twenty nine, and thirty. So they're moving some of this
14:29
Speaker 1: stuff around there. They're manipulating the cap as if they
14:32
Speaker 1: are fully believing they're a super Bowl caliber roster. Like
14:36
Speaker 1: you start doing these gymnastics when you believe you're in
14:39
Speaker 1: the window to compete, and they believe they're right there
14:41
Speaker 1: at that spot, he converted three million of his base
14:44
Speaker 1: salary to an eight point and an eight point seven
14:47
Speaker 1: million dollars roster bonus to a signing bonus. What that
14:50
Speaker 1: means is he got all that money up front. Yeah,
14:53
Speaker 1: And I think that's one of my favorite parts of
14:55
Speaker 1: watching the Packers operate in this mode, Drew. They talk
14:58
Speaker 1: about that war chest, They talk about that reserve up
15:02
Speaker 1: there in Green Bay, that whatever reserve account that continues
15:06
Speaker 1: to get some oodles of cash in there. And ed
15:09
Speaker 1: Policy was talking about it that it's going to be
15:10
Speaker 1: difficult for us at certain points in time to be
15:13
Speaker 1: able to keep up with the Joneses where people are
15:14
Speaker 1: just throwing all this private equity money into NFL. Packers
15:17
Speaker 1: got a nice little sum that they're sitting on right now,
15:21
Speaker 1: because whenever they need to, they much prefer to give
15:23
Speaker 1: you the cash up front. We'll give you the money
15:27
Speaker 1: and then let's let's play ball, because we got the
15:29
Speaker 1: money to give you right now. And who doesn't like
15:32
Speaker 1: a bigger signing bonus.
15:33
Speaker 2: So you have to look at like the dead cap
15:35
Speaker 2: money and like what the if they were going to
15:38
Speaker 2: cut McKinney after this year.
15:42
Speaker 1: Just under fifteen million bucks? See that seems to me
15:46
Speaker 1: like that is the way they'll go with a restructure
15:50
Speaker 1: or with a cut one way or the other. Yeah,
15:53
Speaker 1: I guess I'd have to know the language.
15:55
Speaker 3: Ye.
15:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well he's twenty seven, right, because it seems like
15:58
Speaker 2: he's a veteran player, which he is because he's been
16:00
Speaker 2: playing six years. But ah, I mean the extension you're
16:06
Speaker 2: kind of buying the declining years, aren't you?
16:09
Speaker 1: You would you generally would think they got the best.
16:12
Speaker 1: Like you.
16:12
Speaker 2: They squeeze that bar rag and get the juice out,
16:15
Speaker 2: and you know then they say thank you.
16:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, and whoever you think is behind him as well?
16:20
Speaker 1: Right like if if you believe you got somebody that
16:22
Speaker 1: is waiting in the wings. Evan Williams plays a little
16:24
Speaker 1: bit different spot. But I don't think they also want
16:26
Speaker 1: to learn or sadly learn that lesson twice right with
16:30
Speaker 1: a number thirty three who has good ball skills and
16:33
Speaker 1: instincts like Micah Hyde felt like he did, and Evin
16:37
Speaker 1: Williams feels like he does. You just don't want to
16:39
Speaker 1: lose that one as well. I Uh, I'm fascinated to
16:42
Speaker 1: see how the cornerback position and how they're not spending
16:47
Speaker 1: money there, Drew, maybe allows them to keep both of
16:50
Speaker 1: those guys because that's a high paying position. On the outside,
16:54
Speaker 1: that's a high, high paying position. And maybe the fact
16:58
Speaker 1: that you're still you're rolling into that the rookie contract
17:00
Speaker 1: with CSA. Hopefully he's one of your guys, Nixon whatever
17:03
Speaker 1: people believe or think of him and Valentine and I'm
17:06
Speaker 1: making a ton of money, so they're not killing you.
17:07
Speaker 1: That that route, uh, that could be. That could be
17:10
Speaker 1: a spot. Mike Witt also asking us for any updates
17:13
Speaker 1: when Brandon Woodruff is coming back or is due back
17:16
Speaker 1: this season. We talked about that with Hunter yesterday. Drew
17:19
Speaker 1: Hunter made it sound like sometime during June could be
17:23
Speaker 1: the Woodruff return. They desperately need him, right, Like, as
17:27
Speaker 1: much as you want to be patient with all of
17:30
Speaker 1: your guys, especially that arm, they're gonna be needing somebody.
17:34
Speaker 1: When you started talking about that subscap for DL Hall
17:36
Speaker 1: that Murph was talking about and Hunter's update, that gets
17:39
Speaker 1: me a little bit nervous as to where they're going
17:41
Speaker 1: on the staff. That's cause for concern. That's a dicey
17:45
Speaker 1: that's a dicey tag to be putting on somebody's injury,
17:48
Speaker 1: no question, all right eight seven seven seven nine four
17:51
Speaker 1: seven three nicolay lot dot Com talk and text line. Yes,
17:54
Speaker 1: we're skating shorthanded today.
17:56
Speaker 2: Billy is handling it now. He's like a duck in water.
17:58
Speaker 2: He's figured out the board. He's good to go.
18:00
Speaker 1: I'm figuring it out. We got the fancy now. Luckily,
18:03
Speaker 1: our guys Tim and Mike are helping us out. Our
18:05
Speaker 1: boy Tim, I moved to Wyoming in twenty twelve. Definitely
18:08
Speaker 1: draw fans from all over to the Rockies in that region,
18:12
Speaker 1: But in Wyoming they feel similarly about Coloradoans as we
18:17
Speaker 1: do in Wisconsin about folks from Illinois. I love that,
18:20
Speaker 1: So there's some good conflict there, Drew. I like that.
18:23
Speaker 1: I like that Tim's giving us some information. He's also
18:25
Speaker 1: letting everybody know there is a Wisconsin bar basically across
18:29
Speaker 1: the street from Coors Field. That is gonna be a
18:31
Speaker 1: little bit of a rallying spot, in a little bit
18:33
Speaker 1: of a spot to gather here today before Brewers and
18:36
Speaker 1: Rockies comes in.
18:37
Speaker 2: This is our gathering spot. It's the Huddle Fox Sports
18:39
Speaker 2: Radio Wisconsin. When we come back, our buddy Scott Dolphin
18:43
Speaker 2: from the Country Station down the Hall is gonna pop
18:45
Speaker 2: on in for halftime. It's the armin list version of
18:48
Speaker 2: the Huddle on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Top Beach, South Beach,
18:52
Speaker 2: Sorry and wearing a romper and going to a bachelor
18:54
Speaker 2: party for the weekend. Billy's behind the board and we
18:57
Speaker 2: welcome our pal Scott Dolphin from the Country Station down
18:59
Speaker 2: the Hall.
19:00
Speaker 1: F M one O six one is here. Howdy boys.
19:03
Speaker 2: I gotta say I did not attend the Parker McCollum
19:06
Speaker 2: concert yesterday, but I live close enough that I could
19:09
Speaker 2: hear really every note. Yeah, that's the stage that I
19:13
Speaker 2: get free shows on my deck.
19:15
Speaker 1: So it's just they could hear it.
19:17
Speaker 2: So for those of us who tried to go to
19:18
Speaker 2: bed earlier, good luck Parker was keeping me awake. I
19:21
Speaker 2: wish the Brewers had been playing because it would give
19:23
Speaker 2: me something else to watch during that time.
19:24
Speaker 4: The Beamo Pavilion faces directly at your place. Huh pretty
19:28
Speaker 4: much that place. What a great idea when they built
19:30
Speaker 4: that thing, because remember before that, it was just that old.
19:33
Speaker 4: It was the M and I Bank Rock stage, and
19:35
Speaker 4: it butted up against the Amphitheater, and wasn't it And
19:39
Speaker 4: all you wanted.
19:39
Speaker 1: To do was go to Bart Louis to be able
19:41
Speaker 1: to get something to drink. Right, I'd be pumping into
19:43
Speaker 1: people that are listening over there.
19:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. It was not ideal. No, this the Beamo
19:48
Speaker 4: Pavilion is awesome. And then of course now you can
19:50
Speaker 4: use it for six months out of the use.
19:52
Speaker 2: Right, and it's it's a good looking stage, like when
19:54
Speaker 2: they have like the kind of you can see like
19:55
Speaker 2: the lake behind it and stuff.
19:57
Speaker 4: It's awesome. It almost looks like it's green screened. Hind
20:00
Speaker 4: you see sailboats going behind the way set down, and
20:03
Speaker 4: it's like, yeah, that is the stage that I can hear.
20:05
Speaker 4: So I heard basically every note of Parker mccaf You
20:07
Speaker 4: got to use.
20:08
Speaker 1: Those sweet new reusable uh earphones or ye hadn't thought
20:15
Speaker 1: of that, billy, that would have been that. Where were
20:17
Speaker 1: you last night? You know? Summer Fest dropped off Summer
20:22
Speaker 1: Fest ear plugs. Yeah.
20:24
Speaker 4: Uh and they they got the little smiley face on them.
20:26
Speaker 1: They their new vendor this year. Those the two local
20:29
Speaker 1: girls that started this. Oh that's really cool trying to
20:31
Speaker 1: make those. Yeah, they were giving them out at that
20:33
Speaker 1: Summerfest preview party we were at. Oh I miss that. Yeah, well,
20:37
Speaker 1: I mean I was at the part of it. I
20:38
Speaker 1: didn't get the ear plugs, but you found where the
20:39
Speaker 1: beer was first, potentially. Yeah, I did the Mozzarell Marinara shots.
20:46
Speaker 2: They had shot classes with mini mots dipped in Marinera like,
20:50
Speaker 2: and so they were handing them out.
20:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was cool, little shot classes I did. I
20:55
Speaker 4: walked in the door, turned dead right and right there
20:57
Speaker 4: was the bar. Nobody was in line, so I had
20:59
Speaker 4: to get a ice called miller leg.
21:01
Speaker 1: Well, if anything, at that point, it's rude to not
21:04
Speaker 1: say hi to the far ti. Yeah, you got to
21:06
Speaker 1: make your round, say hello to everybody, and that's one
21:08
Speaker 1: of the first stops because you're gonna be taking care
21:09
Speaker 1: of him.
21:10
Speaker 4: I did them a favor. I started the tip jar.
21:12
Speaker 4: It was like the first one, right, make sure hey
21:14
Speaker 4: this is this is it? Right?
21:15
Speaker 1: Everybody? Yeah? Dropping in first, I'm first one in.
21:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, so uh to give the plug right, the charmed
21:22
Speaker 2: ear plugs, Okay, Kate and Courtney, two friends, we couldn't
21:26
Speaker 2: find earplugs that they loved because they didn't fit right
21:29
Speaker 2: or there. So they made their own reusable ear plugs
21:32
Speaker 2: and then they have the little summer Fest charm on
21:34
Speaker 2: them for the Summerfest thing.
21:35
Speaker 1: So they're selling these signature things.
21:36
Speaker 2: And I don't know, Well, if you go to a
21:39
Speaker 2: lot of shows, I've been to a lot of shows
21:40
Speaker 2: in my life, I've just kind of recently discovered the
21:44
Speaker 2: joy of wearing ear plugs.
21:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you could.
21:46
Speaker 2: Still get the nuance without the sheer volume.
21:50
Speaker 1: Definitely. I never I never remember them.
21:52
Speaker 4: And now twice in the last year I actually had
21:54
Speaker 4: to go buy ear plugs at a venue because my
21:57
Speaker 4: ears were physically hurting. The last time was at the
21:59
Speaker 4: Mill Highlight Theater. My wife and I had great seats
22:02
Speaker 4: fourthrow for Alabama Shakes. Great show, but I was in
22:06
Speaker 4: physical pain the music was so loud. I went out
22:09
Speaker 4: and they have vending machines now where you just you know,
22:11
Speaker 4: you put your credit card in and out pops eleven
22:14
Speaker 4: dollars earplugs.
22:15
Speaker 2: That costs three cents to make. Yeah, sounds like Daytona.
22:19
Speaker 1: That was. That was the spot where all of a sudden,
22:22
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm going to experience this, Yeah, experiencing for
22:24
Speaker 1: a couple of laps, and then I throw those sons
22:26
Speaker 1: and guns right back on in there, because if you're
22:28
Speaker 1: feeling that two hundred horsepower, oh yeah, by you every
22:31
Speaker 1: single moment. But those those engines are gonna run.
22:32
Speaker 4: Through NASCAR and Indy. Do they still do people still
22:34
Speaker 4: wear the big over the year?
22:37
Speaker 1: I think so? Yeah, bones, Yeah, they got the full
22:39
Speaker 1: over the years. There's some some of them like patch
22:42
Speaker 1: in the the oh you can get the spotters and
22:46
Speaker 1: you can hear the spotters talking to the race teams.
22:48
Speaker 1: Those are intense. I don't know that I could possibly
22:52
Speaker 1: focus enough like you would get a different appreciation before
22:55
Speaker 1: they're at But then there are some that just take
22:58
Speaker 1: their toddler's big ole over the head of earphones and
23:00
Speaker 1: just put those things on.
23:01
Speaker 4: Sure or look like they're cutting the grass. Yeah, you
23:05
Speaker 4: see that around neighborhood.
23:06
Speaker 1: You see the wooden guy cutting the grass with the
23:09
Speaker 1: phones on. Sure, is it that loud? I never had
23:13
Speaker 1: a lawn more that that's loud. Where I had the
23:15
Speaker 1: big ones, but they had a radio built in, so
23:17
Speaker 1: I was actually listening Oh radio yees? Was that the
23:20
Speaker 1: Walkman drew Is that was this?
23:21
Speaker 2: The big over the ear had the cans and little
23:23
Speaker 2: radio hang on the side and I could listen.
23:26
Speaker 4: You thought you were on the cutting edge of technology.
23:28
Speaker 4: Those things on, right, dude.
23:30
Speaker 2: But then you're kind of negating the savings because you're
23:33
Speaker 2: listening to the radio at volume to get over the lawnmower,
23:38
Speaker 2: like I'm listening to So instead of listening to my
23:40
Speaker 2: lawnmower at a loud volume, I'm listening to the radio
23:43
Speaker 2: at loud. This is just kind of like I thought
23:45
Speaker 2: about it. It wasn't the utility, but I was able to
23:47
Speaker 2: keep up with what was going on while cutting along
23:49
Speaker 2: at Statelyy.
23:50
Speaker 1: Also manor West to show how nerdy of a thirteen
23:52
Speaker 1: year old kid I was, or potentially how cool I
23:55
Speaker 1: was at thirteen. I had gotten a couple of noise
23:58
Speaker 1: complaints on listening to Sports Rate you in the backyard
24:00
Speaker 1: while I was playing in the summer, too loud by
24:02
Speaker 1: the certain neighbors. So the Walkman Sony earbuds they were money.
24:07
Speaker 1: They were pretty sweet. I got that got baptized into me,
24:11
Speaker 1: and I wore those sons of guns. Yeah, Walkman was
24:13
Speaker 1: was awesome.
24:14
Speaker 4: That was probably the coolest thing I ever got h
24:17
Speaker 4: as a gift, other than I think when I was
24:19
Speaker 4: nine or ten, the mister microphone.
24:21
Speaker 1: Do you remember, mister microphone. I remember the.
24:22
Speaker 2: Commercials ohrophone, Hey good looking, We'll be back to pick
24:25
Speaker 2: you up later.
24:28
Speaker 1: Hey good microphone. These dudes stalking this.
24:31
Speaker 4: Woman walking down the sidewalk and they're in a car,
24:33
Speaker 4: and mister microphone would actually you could go right over
24:36
Speaker 4: your radio, right.
24:37
Speaker 2: Any FM radio. You could just dial in and broadcast over.
24:40
Speaker 2: It was like an early karaoke type.
24:43
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it is on. It was broadcast over the
24:45
Speaker 1: FM signal.
24:46
Speaker 4: The commercial Drews referred to is these guys in the
24:48
Speaker 4: car and this pretty girls walking down the sidewalk, and
24:51
Speaker 4: this dude gets on mister microhson, Hey good looking, We'll
24:54
Speaker 4: be back to pick you up later.
24:57
Speaker 2: Cheesy, cringey seventies mister microphone.
25:01
Speaker 1: Yeah.
25:02
Speaker 2: This whole headphone talk though, has me like this was
25:04
Speaker 2: a controversy at my house when my sprout was very young,
25:07
Speaker 2: because my wife came home and I was wearing my
25:09
Speaker 2: lawnmowing over the ear ear protection, holding my crying baby,
25:13
Speaker 2: and my wife's like, what are you doing. I'm like,
25:15
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm I'm I'm taking care of the kid.
25:19
Speaker 2: She's like, that's awful.
25:20
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, it's not. She doesn't know. It's like
25:23
Speaker 1: six months old. She doesn't know. I'm just gonna cry.
25:25
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna make it more pleasant for me. There's
25:27
Speaker 2: nothing I could do to stop the crying. And it
25:31
Speaker 2: wasn't like an upfront. I'm like, I thought this was
25:33
Speaker 2: a marketing opportunity to sell dad. And then maybe when
25:38
Speaker 2: your wife's complaining that you didn't load the dishwasher, you
25:40
Speaker 2: put those on again.
25:42
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live, bitch, Yeah, dude, I on Monday Night,
25:47
Speaker 1: I invoked this exact same strategy, and I thought of
25:50
Speaker 1: Drew as I did it, and he goes, I'm just getting
25:53
Speaker 1: mercilessly screamed at h. I'm like, brother, you are okay,
25:57
Speaker 1: you are okay, everything is fine. You're gonna burn out
26:00
Speaker 1: those little thirteen month old vocal cords, screaming I put
26:03
Speaker 1: the cans on. Really, oh that's hilarious, And then you know,
26:06
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes later was asleep, Like, how do you think
26:09
Speaker 1: of that? Why didn't I think of that? Right across
26:12
Speaker 1: away from me? Gave me the idea, and he got
26:14
Speaker 1: yelled at for it. I got called the genius.
26:15
Speaker 2: Yes see, times changed, so good acceptance is really the
26:20
Speaker 2: only reason. So yeah, but the Parker MCCONWM think he
26:22
Speaker 2: kept me awake. But it sounded like a good show.
26:24
Speaker 2: I'm sure people had a good time.
26:25
Speaker 1: Looking at social media, it looked like it was pretty full. Yeah,
26:28
Speaker 1: he's a pretty legit production like his you know.
26:31
Speaker 4: Right, uh, kind of an appeteezer to the summer Fest
26:35
Speaker 4: concert season which is really gonna start kicking in. It
26:38
Speaker 4: was PrideFest started last night, so I guess that's the
26:40
Speaker 4: official pajor concert kickoff at some first one.
26:44
Speaker 1: Of the grounds.
26:44
Speaker 2: And then yeah, last night, and so yesterday was we're
26:47
Speaker 2: two weeks out, two weeks from Yesterdayeah, it was day
26:50
Speaker 2: one of Summerfest.
26:51
Speaker 1: Next week you get Polish Fest. That's right. I don't
26:53
Speaker 1: know who's coming to that. They are still selling mister microphones,
26:56
Speaker 1: all right, really scene on TV. However, time have changed
27:01
Speaker 1: the wireless karaoke microphone and it does not look like
27:06
Speaker 1: it is somehow pluggable into a radio. But now they've
27:11
Speaker 1: allowed it, and they even advertise that can be used
27:15
Speaker 1: for kids podcasting. Wow, so there's some speakers here onto
27:19
Speaker 1: the side of it that it almost appears like that's
27:22
Speaker 1: where the volume comes from.
27:24
Speaker 4: I would assume after a while the SEC probably deemed
27:26
Speaker 4: that thing illegal to be going over FMPA, we think,
27:29
Speaker 4: but maybe not. It doesn't interfere with anything more than
27:32
Speaker 4: the radio night you're hooked up to.
27:34
Speaker 1: Kind of like a Bluetooth nineteen seventy eight commercial. Hey,
27:37
Speaker 1: what's that point? You set the dial on your FM radio.
27:40
Speaker 3: And these kids are having a fabulous time with mister microphone,
27:48
Speaker 3: the cordless microphone that actually puts your voice on the radio.
27:52
Speaker 3: There are no attaching wires, so you're free to move
27:56
Speaker 3: around broadcast over any FM car radio.
28:00
Speaker 1: Hey, good looking, we'll be back to pick you up.
28:02
Speaker 1: There it is, there, it is. I'll remember that. Look. Cringey,
28:12
Speaker 1: Oh my, cringey cringe.
28:14
Speaker 4: That is hilarious. It's not like Bob Costas doing the
28:16
Speaker 4: voice over there too.
28:17
Speaker 1: That was actually his thirteenth demmy he won on that one.
28:21
Speaker 1: Oh it gets even it gets even better. This this
28:23
Speaker 1: cat's shirtless in his backyard worried it is in serio.
28:28
Speaker 3: Professional entertainers use mister microphone for rehearsing.
28:31
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I don't believe that out and.
28:34
Speaker 3: You can too. It's practical and great fun for the
28:38
Speaker 3: whole family. And for only twelve eighty eight, they really
28:42
Speaker 3: make really yes, the perfect Christmas gift at Walgreens, Wilworth
28:46
Speaker 3: Wilco Osco Adventure we Bo's Montgomery Ward.
28:50
Speaker 1: Montgomery Ward Reward.
28:52
Speaker 4: I remember Coach Ditka had an endorsement with Montgomery Ward.
28:55
Speaker 1: Oh my god, So that's just why we used to
28:58
Speaker 1: call it monkey Warts. Yes. The best thing is the
29:02
Speaker 1: the thirteen seconds or the three second video. The clip
29:06
Speaker 1: of hey good looking. We'll be back to the video
29:07
Speaker 1: up later is the icon and it is just the
29:11
Speaker 1: creepiest guy with a beautiful set of curly locks that
29:16
Speaker 1: are only out of the late seventies. It's amazing, and
29:19
Speaker 1: he's got a grin on his face like just so
29:22
Speaker 1: you know, good looking, they're coming.
29:24
Speaker 4: There's a reason you hire these Madison Avenue advertising execs
29:29
Speaker 4: to do your thing because they're timeless.
29:31
Speaker 1: I mean, there's certain things you remember from your childhood.
29:33
Speaker 4: For guys like Drew and I, we remember that we
29:35
Speaker 4: remember I fallen on I can't get up where's the
29:37
Speaker 4: Beef stuff like that, but I'll never forget Hey, good looking,
29:42
Speaker 4: We'll be back to pick.
29:43
Speaker 1: I'm glad that Where's the Beef? Though, is fully timeless.
29:46
Speaker 1: I mean, we had a kid playing at Arrowhead, one
29:49
Speaker 1: of our offensive linemen whose name was men Wellington, right,
29:54
Speaker 1: so it all felt like beef Wellington. He quickly became
29:57
Speaker 1: Where's the Beef and had t shirts made up by
29:59
Speaker 1: the end of that's at his tenure. That's one of
30:01
Speaker 1: the greatest captions. Always beef. It's what's for dinner? Don't
30:05
Speaker 1: You don't lose some of those, especially when it's as
30:08
Speaker 1: creepy as that.
30:09
Speaker 2: There's nothing that's going to replace that, all right, Yeah,
30:12
Speaker 2: that's cringey, all right? Dolph Christian Watson got his deal.
30:16
Speaker 2: Are we numb to this? Like Billy and I were
30:18
Speaker 2: talking about They got him for one hundred and ten million,
30:20
Speaker 2: like thirty million dollars signing bonus. What's that like when
30:23
Speaker 2: that hits your direct deposit, when that hits your account
30:26
Speaker 2: before it gets dispersed to the investment guys and the
30:29
Speaker 2: money guys.
30:30
Speaker 4: So what does your check look like? Every two weeks.
30:32
Speaker 4: What does it go from?
30:33
Speaker 1: What was what was he pulling down this past season?
30:37
Speaker 1: You know? Ah, he was a five to six million
30:40
Speaker 1: something like that, a little more. Yeah, his deal a
30:44
Speaker 1: year ago. As I have nineteen different keyboards to be
30:47
Speaker 1: able to get the number for you. Uh, he has
30:49
Speaker 1: signed what eleven million a year ago? Drew So it
30:52
Speaker 1: was his game check is probably in the seven hundred thousands. Yeah,
31:00
Speaker 1: taxes probably five five. Yeah, man, when you when you
31:03
Speaker 1: see that green, go right next bank account and it's
31:07
Speaker 1: just a three to one and a whole bunch of
31:10
Speaker 1: zeros back there.
31:10
Speaker 4: There's not a house you can't afford in Brown County.
31:14
Speaker 4: You might be able to afford the entire neighborhood down
31:16
Speaker 4: now for sure by a subdivision. Do the Packers you
31:20
Speaker 4: guys would know this. Did the Packers like have their
31:21
Speaker 4: own subdivision where they all live.
31:24
Speaker 2: No, they're kind of spread out, yeah there, but there
31:26
Speaker 2: are some where there's like a couple of coaches and
31:29
Speaker 2: maybe a player or two that live in the same development.
31:32
Speaker 1: Okay, because was that like a see now, Dolph, we
31:35
Speaker 1: need to bank this one. Because Arman would have this
31:37
Speaker 1: dialed in from in ninety six they did a prank
31:40
Speaker 1: on Mike Holmgren where they went trick or treating far
31:44
Speaker 1: of Bebe and I think Frank Winners, and it was
31:47
Speaker 1: something like Bbe lived in the neighborhood as home grind. Okay,
31:50
Speaker 1: they knew exactly where everyone knew where everyone was at. Yeah,
31:53
Speaker 1: but they were all close enough that they were able
31:55
Speaker 1: to get in there for kind of some trick or treats.
31:57
Speaker 1: I assume didn't Coon say this. It was he close
31:59
Speaker 1: to McCarthy the same area, I believe.
32:01
Speaker 3: So.
32:01
Speaker 1: Yes, So Watson this year was one year, eleven million,
32:05
Speaker 1: and that was a six million dollar signing bonus. So again,
32:08
Speaker 1: I mean you're getting a certain amount of that up
32:10
Speaker 1: front right out of the gates. And I think back
32:12
Speaker 1: to it was Hard Knocks when John Dorsey with the
32:17
Speaker 1: every single day crew neck sweatshirt and the button down
32:20
Speaker 1: shirt collar out of the out of the crew neck,
32:22
Speaker 1: looks down at Baker Mayfield says, all right, so you
32:25
Speaker 1: sign here initial here, one signature here, and then we'll
32:29
Speaker 1: have a twelve point seven million dollar direct deposit in
32:31
Speaker 1: your account on Tuesday. And he like has the pen
32:34
Speaker 1: in his hand, he leans back, he's like smoke. After that,
32:41
Speaker 1: I need a second, what an amazing thing to experience.
32:44
Speaker 1: Oh my, that would be.
32:45
Speaker 2: We talk about it like it's just monopoly money or something,
32:48
Speaker 2: but it's real money. These guys are. They're basically winning
32:51
Speaker 2: the lottery all the time.
32:52
Speaker 1: Sport. It's like, oh, man, I remember.
32:54
Speaker 4: When a Rod's the baseball player, not the football. Yeah,
32:58
Speaker 4: he signed that first big two d fIF ty million
33:00
Speaker 4: dollars to do. Was it the Rangers too?
33:01
Speaker 1: Yeah.
33:02
Speaker 4: I remember sitting down and saying, Okay, here's the tech
33:05
Speaker 4: Texas tax laws and just what he was going to
33:07
Speaker 4: bring in.
33:08
Speaker 1: And it was just insane.
33:10
Speaker 4: Obviously insane money for us, but now it's just pretty commonplace.
33:14
Speaker 2: Doug Melvin was general manager of the Rangers at the time.
33:16
Speaker 2: Tom Hicks was the owner. In Hicks's like, we're gonna
33:18
Speaker 2: go make this big move and ended up not really
33:21
Speaker 2: working out. But Doug said when he signed the contract,
33:23
Speaker 2: his hand was shaking because of how much money was involved.
33:27
Speaker 4: Fifty two million dollars, that's insane. You bring up Tom Hicks, Okay,
33:31
Speaker 4: going down.
33:32
Speaker 1: Here to twenty five million dollars year for ten years.
33:34
Speaker 4: He was one of the long time ago partial owners
33:38
Speaker 4: of this radio stage indeed Clear Channel back in the
33:41
Speaker 4: day Hicks Tate MWS was the big agency, and yeah,
33:44
Speaker 4: they had a big stake in US way back when,
33:46
Speaker 4: probably twenty twenty five years ago.
33:48
Speaker 1: Oh Man, Tom Hicks owner of the Rangers. So at
33:51
Speaker 1: some point I can say my paycheck would have been
33:55
Speaker 1: signed by the same guy that signed Alex Rodriguezz kind
33:58
Speaker 1: of sort of kinda sorta I moved around four different ways.
34:01
Speaker 1: It's been so long since I've seen a paycheck. I
34:03
Speaker 1: don't know who signs our paychecks. It's very true, been
34:07
Speaker 1: so long since I've received it. So ten years, twenty
34:10
Speaker 1: five million a year, it's almost like that can be
34:12
Speaker 1: how you end up buying into an NBA team. Yeah,
34:15
Speaker 1: you get that kind of money that early on for
34:17
Speaker 1: a rod That kind of makes sense how a rod
34:19
Speaker 1: Korp started. Tom Hicks just died like right before Christmas?
34:22
Speaker 1: Did he really? Wow? George w was a part of
34:24
Speaker 1: that too, wasn't he he was? Yeah?
34:26
Speaker 2: Was he the president of the Rangers partner or something? Okay,
34:29
Speaker 2: so whatever they call it, I think he was president.
34:31
Speaker 2: But yeah, Hicks owned like three teams and he did
34:34
Speaker 2: make that merger. It was clear Channel merged with AMFM Inc.
34:38
Speaker 1: Wow.
34:39
Speaker 4: In the day I just remember we went through I
34:41
Speaker 4: think four owners in two years here. I don't even
34:43
Speaker 4: remember who they were, but I know we ended up
34:45
Speaker 4: with Clear Channel. I'm thinking maybe they'll have us a
34:47
Speaker 4: year or two and then here we are, Yeah, thirty
34:49
Speaker 4: years later, still clear Channel.
34:51
Speaker 1: Chan. When you buy a company and you get a
34:53
Speaker 1: Scott Dolphin like employee, you gotta just keep riding with it,
34:56
Speaker 1: and nothing's going to get better than that, really from
34:59
Speaker 1: your mouth. Guy, Yeah, I just gotta let you know, Dolph,
35:02
Speaker 1: I'm gonna listen to more mister microphone commercials throughout the Hey,
35:05
Speaker 1: good looking. I think I'm gonna show that to just
35:08
Speaker 1: about everybody I encounter today. Keep that just holstered up
35:12
Speaker 1: on my YouTube. And hey, have you seen this video
35:14
Speaker 1: from nineteen seventy eight. It's timeless. It's held up well
35:17
Speaker 1: over the years, hasn't it. That is so fun? Good looking?
35:21
Speaker 1: Pick you up later.
35:22
Speaker 2: All right, Well, golf Dolf, you're golfing today or you're planning.
35:25
Speaker 1: To right Monday. I'll miss you guys Monday morning. On playing.
35:29
Speaker 2: We've play today because like we're getting rain across the
35:31
Speaker 2: area's coming for the listening area, it's coming down pretty
35:33
Speaker 2: good and we haven't had it in a while, with thought, Oh,
35:35
Speaker 2: how bad does that suck?
35:36
Speaker 1: For it?
35:36
Speaker 2: It's been dry for six weeks and then you got
35:39
Speaker 2: a golf date on Friday and like here comes the rain.
35:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, Billy, have fun with that. Well, luckily, you know what,
35:44
Speaker 1: I think I might just go to Fuzzies instead. Okay,
35:45
Speaker 1: there you go. It feels like a bloody, bloody marian
35:48
Speaker 1: An omelet might be it might be about now you're talking.
35:50
Speaker 2: That might be chok Dolph, Thanks for hanging out, appreciate it. Thanks,
35:54
Speaker 2: We're over the We're past halftime of the armand Sorrow. Sorry,
35:57
Speaker 2: unless huddle. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin Quarters.
36:01
Speaker 2: Drew Wilson and Bill schmid. Arman is out South Beach, sorry,
36:04
Speaker 2: and he's bachelor partying follow his exploits on Snapchat because
36:11
Speaker 2: his ex account has been hijacked.
36:15
Speaker 1: Now, I told him, Drew, he really needs to figure
36:17
Speaker 1: it out. He really needs to get with the times
36:20
Speaker 1: and get a get a TikTok or an Instagram right,
36:23
Speaker 1: Like I mean Instagram. Miami is Instagram territory, no question.
36:29
Speaker 1: I think I think that might be Miami's favorite social
36:32
Speaker 1: media would be ig and the you know, the the
36:35
Speaker 1: dancing videos that you can find on different yachts like that.
36:38
Speaker 1: He'll probably be hanging on with all this newfound crypto
36:40
Speaker 1: cash he's got. But I would assume that there's gonna
36:43
Speaker 1: be a couple of those, Yeah, I would think. So
36:46
Speaker 1: you got to get some of it leak out. We
36:47
Speaker 1: gotta be able to see a little bit of it now.
36:49
Speaker 1: I don't know that he'd be posting too much good
36:52
Speaker 1: stuff on Twitter throughout the Bachelor party, But how do
36:57
Speaker 1: you think Armon's going to be handling it down there
36:59
Speaker 1: in South Beach with even more rumblings of his favorite
37:03
Speaker 1: Giannis ad de to Kumbo going to the Miami Heat. Yeah,
37:06
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the thing.
37:07
Speaker 2: Like we talked about how the Christian Watson thing kind
37:10
Speaker 2: of just fell out of the sky, much like the
37:11
Speaker 2: Jayden reied.
37:12
Speaker 1: Things like, oh, Christian Watson got extended.
37:14
Speaker 2: Wow, that's the Yannis trade is gonna happen Like You're
37:17
Speaker 2: gonna be in the middle of the day and it's
37:18
Speaker 2: like poop, like oh yeah, four team nine player deal.
37:24
Speaker 1: Yeah quick, it's gonna happen quick, and uh, it's gonna
37:27
Speaker 1: happen after yesterday. It seems like it's it's pretty locked
37:30
Speaker 1: in that it will happen at some point during what
37:35
Speaker 1: do you think the next week? Two weeks? Yeah, I'd
37:38
Speaker 1: say we're two minus two weeks. I'm just not sold
37:41
Speaker 1: though that they're all locked in for sure on Miami
37:44
Speaker 1: as much as people are. No me either.
37:48
Speaker 2: Like I said, it's gonna be like a complicated bank
37:50
Speaker 2: shot of teams and players and players going this way
37:54
Speaker 2: and that way and draft picks.
37:56
Speaker 1: There's a sudden little drum beat for Boston too, his
38:00
Speaker 1: camp for and his camp kind of dropped it out there, like, hey,
38:03
Speaker 1: Giannis is very intrigued about going to going to Boston.
38:06
Speaker 1: Would he go to okac a similar market? Like does
38:09
Speaker 1: he really want to win? Does he want to live there?
38:11
Speaker 1: Is that you know it's Milwaukee, like Drew, that's a
38:14
Speaker 1: great question. I don't know what we're gonna find out
38:16
Speaker 1: exactly what he wants because it's always been he wants
38:20
Speaker 1: the bright lights of New York. Well, he wanted to
38:22
Speaker 1: be a Nick. They're not going to trade for him, right,
38:25
Speaker 1: They're not. They're not blowing up that team. They're gonna there.
38:28
Speaker 1: We both think they're gonna win the title. So that's
38:32
Speaker 1: out of the equation if you really want to go
38:34
Speaker 1: to Miami, that feels like the South Beach Bucks to
38:37
Speaker 1: me with whatever that team ends up looking like after
38:40
Speaker 1: the trade. If you really want to go and win championships,
38:44
Speaker 1: which this has always been talked about, the best place
38:47
Speaker 1: to go would be Okay, see for sure. But I
38:49
Speaker 1: don't know. And this is maybe the test that we're
38:52
Speaker 1: seeing more of. What is the interest in Giannis as
38:57
Speaker 1: much in front office circles and is it much as
39:00
Speaker 1: it is in fan circles. That is a great question.
39:03
Speaker 1: That is one that we'll find out in a couple
39:04
Speaker 1: of weeks. Absolutely, Hey, what does Dad want for Father's Day?
