- 0:17Speaker 3: on the iHeart app, as well as Facebook x and
- 0:20Speaker 3: the youtubes. Drew, Billy and Arman. We're just contemplating that
- 0:25Speaker 3: armand Sorry and statue.
- 0:26Speaker 4: Yeah, figuring out where we're gonna put it out here.
- 0:28Speaker 5: Drew.
- 0:29Speaker 4: I mean, we've got a lot of places here at
- 0:30Speaker 4: the megaplexy probably he should be here.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Oh, is that what you're saying? Put it out here
- 0:34Speaker 1: at the station, because you know, I had the idea
- 0:37Speaker 1: for MVP Park for years, you know, to have a
- 0:39Speaker 1: statue park in Milwaukee, and you'd be the first one. Well,
- 0:43Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd be the first.
- 0:45Speaker 4: That's what you're talking about. And I love this main
- 0:48Speaker 4: character syndrome. That's what I'm talking about. Let's fire it
- 0:52Speaker 4: up right out of the day's.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Six O way brought it up, and it was a
- 0:55Speaker 1: great question on Hot Take hum Day.
- 0:57Speaker 3: If you could give up one, you can give up
- 0:59Speaker 3: your favorite food for a three in a row, for
- 1:02Speaker 3: a three peat for three years of not eating your
- 1:04Speaker 3: favorite food.
- 1:04Speaker 2: That's a small sacrifice.
- 1:06Speaker 4: I was gonna say, now, hold on the rest of
- 1:08Speaker 4: your life for three years, no rest of your life,
- 1:11Speaker 4: I believe he said, Oh he did, Okay, okay, because
- 1:14Speaker 4: I was gonna say, if it's just a three year periods,
- 1:16Speaker 4: then it's not tough at all. Then that then, I mean,
- 1:18Speaker 4: that just sounds like a diet. That sounds like lifetime. Yes,
- 1:22Speaker 4: that sounds like life. I might need to do eight
- 1:24Speaker 4: seven seven seven.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Nine four one ninety seven three. When it comes to pizza,
- 1:28Speaker 3: cheeseburger is my favorite food. I've eaten enough cheeseburgers that
- 1:32Speaker 3: I'll always remember what they're like, you know, and I
- 1:34Speaker 3: miss I'm sure remember what they're like.
- 1:36Speaker 1: That's my position.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Austin and spring Grove eight seven seven seven nine. I'd
- 1:41Speaker 3: give up smoking meat for three years for a three peat.
- 1:43Speaker 3: It would hurt, but it's worth it. Yah, off the Loston,
- 1:46Speaker 3: wouldn't it.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be? Wouldn't that be tough?
- 1:49Speaker 4: Not going out onto the smoker, firing that bad boy
- 1:52Speaker 4: up and throwing a big old pork shoulder on there.
- 1:54Speaker 2: That'd be tough.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Sorry you said, close, yeah, close, butt or something you
- 1:59Speaker 1: can't eat eat smoking himself or eat smoke. Now that's
- 2:02Speaker 1: different if I could still go and eat someone else's. Yeah,
- 2:06Speaker 1: of the fun is the smoking is the actual process. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:11Speaker 1: there's a big part of that and people, you know,
- 2:14Speaker 1: knowing people are eating your meat. Pause.
- 2:16Speaker 4: But you're correct, You're absolutely correct. That's the goal of it. Yeah,
- 2:19Speaker 4: dust And our friends said, he's already got a statue.
- 2:21Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about, Dustin. Okay, he's already built one.
- 2:24Speaker 1: You got a statue, Dustin. Congrats. I'd love to see
- 2:26Speaker 1: a picture of that.
- 2:27Speaker 4: Danny p of the shot is Arman equating himself to
- 2:29Speaker 4: Jesus talking about these sacrifices for people?
- 2:32Speaker 1: Is this real?
- 2:33Speaker 4: This would be a great topic for the Three Army
- 2:35Speaker 4: egos pots and never again, I think we should have
- 2:37Speaker 4: never equated myself to Jesus. No, come on, no, But
- 2:40Speaker 4: I mean you are talking about your sacrifice and making
- 2:43Speaker 4: sure that people remember it for years and decades and generations.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Upon n I think it's worth remembering if one man
- 2:49Speaker 1: took the sacrifice to get that, to get those titles
- 2:52Speaker 1: for everybody else.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Remember, it's not just me that would enjoy the championships.
- 2:55Speaker 3: You know, true, Chris and the Ben has a one
- 2:57Speaker 3: for you, though. Here's a hypothetical. What would be a
- 3:00Speaker 3: three peat from the team of your choice or one
- 3:03Speaker 3: championship each from the Packers, Brewers and Bucks in the
- 3:05Speaker 3: same calendar year?
- 3:08Speaker 1: Man, I love this, I love this one.
- 3:10Speaker 4: So I think the three and one year would be
- 3:13Speaker 4: the best because then you would know that. But I
- 3:18Speaker 4: can't say that one drew because again media does start
- 3:21Speaker 4: with me, And then that very selfishly would take away
- 3:24Speaker 4: one of the great evergreen topics for us to do
- 3:26Speaker 4: all of June and July of Would you have traded
- 3:29Speaker 4: one of those three titles for the Bucks, Brewers or
- 3:31Speaker 4: Packers for insert other team to win a title here?
- 3:35Speaker 1: That's right, Billy, that's so true. We wouldn't have that topic.
- 3:38Speaker 1: But think how much fun that year would be, the
- 3:39Speaker 1: Grand Slam of championships. Have three and one year, three parades,
- 3:42Speaker 1: three celebrations, three true. I mean, that would be the
- 3:45Speaker 1: greatest year ever of our lives. We'd be talking about forever.
- 3:49Speaker 1: We would call it the you know, we would just
- 3:51Speaker 1: make documentaries about it. The memories they'd be talking about
- 3:54Speaker 1: that year forever. I think I'm taking the one year
- 3:56Speaker 1: man and never get better though. That's the best. The
- 4:00Speaker 1: other problem, you know, you reached the pinnacle. It's like,
- 4:03Speaker 1: all right, that's it. Like we can still enjoy sports,
- 4:06Speaker 1: try and win again, but in any get better than that.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Three in one year pretty amazing. I mean quite a
- 4:11Speaker 3: year just spinning through the socials. And I saw that, uh,
- 4:15Speaker 3: seven hours ago or so, Yannis posted pictures of the
- 4:19Speaker 3: family trip to the zoo.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Get out of the zoo. Yeah, some good pictures.
- 4:21Speaker 3: That that's a great billboard there, pictures of the fam
- 4:24Speaker 3: and like that one greetings from Milwaukee Zoo looks like
- 4:26Speaker 3: a postcard that they're posing in front of He and
- 4:28Speaker 3: Mariah and the four the four kids having some fun, chilling.
- 4:32Speaker 3: I saw people posting up pictures of them, like, hey,
- 4:35Speaker 3: Giannis is here, but I'm not gonna bug him, right,
- 4:36Speaker 3: And he retweets those and says, thank you for respecting
- 4:39Speaker 3: his privacy and honest, we want you to stay, but
- 4:42Speaker 3: we're prepared for your departure.
- 4:44Speaker 2: And you know it is his downtime.
- 4:47Speaker 3: But doesn't this make you think like they're up in
- 4:49Speaker 3: Appleton eating ice cream, They're they're they're checking out as
- 4:51Speaker 3: much of Milwaukee as they can in their last months.
- 4:54Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say d I thought like you
- 4:55Speaker 4: could use it on both ends. Like one is like
- 4:57Speaker 4: he's walking around saying, man, look at all much look
- 5:00Speaker 4: at how great this is. I'm not gonna buy a
- 5:02Speaker 4: I'm never gonna be able to do this. If I
- 5:03Speaker 4: go to Boston, I'll never be able to do this.
- 5:05Speaker 4: I went to New York or it is Uh, I
- 5:07Speaker 4: am gonna make sure I hit all of the last
- 5:09Speaker 4: stops before uh. These kids go and experience something else,
- 5:12Speaker 4: and then they can remember it when we come back
- 5:15Speaker 4: here in fifteen years. I saw it more of the set,
- 5:18Speaker 4: more of the latter. But if there's anything that would
- 5:22Speaker 4: make you feel a little bit more envious and sentimental
- 5:26Speaker 4: of what you had, I would think those moments would
- 5:29Speaker 4: be the times where he's like, Wow, this is this
- 5:31Speaker 4: is kind of nice. The grass might not always be
- 5:33Speaker 4: greener wherever I end up going, it'll never be like
- 5:35Speaker 4: that again anywhere else.
- 5:36Speaker 1: And the duality of man, how you see the same
- 5:39Speaker 1: situation from two perspectives. I definitely saw it the first way.
- 5:42Speaker 1: I found as like, man, this doesn't seem like a
- 5:44Speaker 1: guy that wants to leave, or or it is gonna
- 5:47Speaker 1: appreciate it.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Why wouldn't already be gone, like to Greece or something,
- 5:50Speaker 3: or you know, you think he'd be.
- 5:51Speaker 1: He's in town for a reason, and it's like, Okay,
- 5:54Speaker 1: for all the talk about where kids are in school,
- 5:56Speaker 1: it's like, he sure seems like a regular guy that's
- 5:58Speaker 1: enjoyed the state in this like the rest of us.
- 6:01Speaker 1: And that's precisely what he always said he loved about
- 6:04Speaker 1: Milwaukee was that he was not bothered, he could become
- 6:06Speaker 1: a regular guy, his family felt safe, all those things
- 6:10Speaker 1: that in a lot of ways they're priceless, right, I mean,
- 6:12Speaker 1: to be able to live that life and not be
- 6:13Speaker 1: bothered and stuff like that. But it's interesting that the
- 6:16Speaker 1: other way you can look at it is like, well,
- 6:18Speaker 1: I'm gonna soak it up now, because this might be it.
- 6:20Speaker 1: This might be our last summer in town. All this stuff.
- 6:23Speaker 1: It's also interesting for me to think, whatever happens in
- 6:26Speaker 1: the rest of his basketball career, will one day he
- 6:29Speaker 1: have a presence in Milwaukee, maybe not a permanent home,
- 6:32Speaker 1: maybe not live here permanently, but keep a home here,
- 6:34Speaker 1: or keep a presence in Milwaukee, look at it as
- 6:37Speaker 1: his second home forever. Is he going to treat the
- 6:40Speaker 1: city like that because I think most of his career
- 6:42Speaker 1: we felt like he probably would. Right, So that's something
- 6:45Speaker 1: for down the road maybe, but something across my mind
- 6:47Speaker 1: as well.
- 6:49Speaker 4: I don't think you're off base on that, Arman, Like
- 6:51Speaker 4: I don't think it's I don't think it's I don't
- 6:53Speaker 4: think it's outland. I should think so, right, because like,
- 6:55Speaker 4: at some point, you're gonna want to go where everybody
- 6:57Speaker 4: knows your name as they as the song would say,
- 7:00Speaker 4: but you also want to go somewhere that like he's
- 7:03Speaker 4: gonna have made enough money that he's not gonna need
- 7:05Speaker 4: to go broadcast games or anything. Sure, but if there's
- 7:08Speaker 4: anywhere that he would that he would potentially want to,
- 7:11Speaker 4: or that he would that it would work, it would
- 7:13Speaker 4: be here.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Like I, I don't think you're I don't think you're.
- 7:16Speaker 4: All you're completely out out of bounds thinking that he
- 7:18Speaker 4: would have some kind of presence.
- 7:19Speaker 1: I think he would want to. I do think that's
- 7:22Speaker 1: something that matters to or something.
- 7:23Speaker 4: In the basketball operation, something something involved, Like I do
- 7:26Speaker 4: think that's something that matters to fans a lot that
- 7:28Speaker 4: we don't talk about a lot, is that if you
- 7:31Speaker 4: have said legend in your town.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Is he gonna remain a factor or a presence for
- 7:38Speaker 1: years to come? I think that's one thing, Michael Jordan
- 7:40Speaker 1: I think about a lot. Was the Supernova starball Stars
- 7:44Speaker 1: but basically has no presence anymore in Chicago. Does that
- 7:47Speaker 1: bother Bulls fans? Does it not? Do they care or not?
- 7:49Speaker 1: I think they'd like to have him in Tom Moore
- 7:51Speaker 1: or at least a factor. Maybe not, as you know,
- 7:54Speaker 1: you don't have to be GM of the Bulls, but
- 7:55Speaker 1: just to be a guy that said, I still enjoy
- 7:57Speaker 1: my legacy, enjoy Chicago and enjoy those memory. He's not
- 8:00Speaker 1: just say thanks for everything. I'm never coming back.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Does it bother you that, you know? Well, Sterling Sharp
- 8:05Speaker 2: said he's never coming back. Now that's different.
- 8:07Speaker 3: At his moment, But what about far of he's not
- 8:09Speaker 3: exactly a presence. I mean, comes back and does some signings,
- 8:11Speaker 3: but right, he's not a thought.
- 8:13Speaker 4: Well, and this is the other part it bothers Arman,
- 8:16Speaker 4: It might not bother normal.
- 8:19Speaker 1: That's totally fair. I'm speaking like, are there fans like
- 8:21Speaker 1: me that think that maybe not? Maybe it's a vast majority,
- 8:24Speaker 1: don't you know. I think there are more than not
- 8:27Speaker 1: though that might think about that, But then again, I'm
- 8:29Speaker 1: biased in my own opinion, you know, to think that
- 8:32Speaker 1: that some people care about stuff like that, or is
- 8:35Speaker 1: it just we care about what you did here?
- 8:36Speaker 3: Thanks for projecting your feelings onto others. Well we do
- 8:39Speaker 3: that like hit that bell, we hit that belt.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Well we all do that in life a little bit,
- 8:42Speaker 1: don't we.
- 8:43Speaker 4: You You literally just answered it by projecting again the
- 8:47Speaker 4: answer on more people.
- 8:48Speaker 1: How many Celtics fans you think wish Larry Bird was
- 8:51Speaker 1: their guy, not the Pacers guy.
- 8:53Speaker 4: I don't necessarily know that it matters to too many
- 8:55Speaker 4: of them. However, Like if we bring this to a
- 8:58Speaker 4: Brewer side of it, uh, does it bother you that
- 9:00Speaker 4: you don't see robbin you out every single time? But
- 9:03Speaker 4: he found found his way back. He ended up being
- 9:05Speaker 4: a bench coach at one point. Like he has remained
- 9:08Speaker 4: very Milwaukee positive, that would be the case, and he
- 9:11Speaker 4: shows up a lot.
- 9:12Speaker 1: I would say he's a round. I mean he's around Milwaukee.
- 9:14Speaker 4: Obviously, gonna make it his living permanent spot. He said
- 9:16Speaker 4: that very cleanly on the broadcast. Yeah, to see me
- 9:19Speaker 4: a whole lot more. Maybe not, but just know you're
- 9:22Speaker 4: always right here. You're always always right here.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's fine. I don't expect I don't expect
- 9:27Speaker 1: him to like be honest to his days.
- 9:29Speaker 3: M wants all Wisconsin athletes, especially like higher up on
- 9:33Speaker 3: the food chain, to be like AJ Dillon.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Well, you know, and he has a connection obviously he's
- 9:39Speaker 1: married to someone in Wisconsin. But you know, just the
- 9:41Speaker 1: idea that like, I cared about being here and I
- 9:43Speaker 1: enjoyed it as much as you might think I did.
- 9:45Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it matters to some fans.
- 9:47Speaker 3: AJ Dillon gets more coverage than any current packer during
- 9:50Speaker 3: the Officers. That's pretty to be breaking cards with Luke Combs. Yeah,
- 9:55Speaker 3: breaking cards with Luke pick Away.
- 9:57Speaker 2: They're getting Lambeau ready for Luke Combs the weekend here.
- 10:00Speaker 1: I do have a little bit of fom on not
- 10:02Speaker 1: going to that. I bet that's gonna be a rock JOCKO.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Posted he's got an extra ticket if you want to go.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Oh, come on, a jocoss.
- 10:08Speaker 2: I'm sorry in the pit, I don't know that I can.
- 10:10Speaker 4: I don't know that I could go to a concert
- 10:12Speaker 4: with Chocolate because I'd be so much less cool than him.
- 10:14Speaker 2: That's true. Like, as as self conscious as I might
- 10:18Speaker 2: have to be.
- 10:18Speaker 4: I don't know that I could go to a place
- 10:20Speaker 4: with somebody that's gotten far better hair than I.
- 10:22Speaker 2: That's a good point.
- 10:22Speaker 4: That would be a tough thing for That would be
- 10:24Speaker 4: a tough thing for my ego to say, Oh my goodness, hey, Billy,
- 10:27Speaker 4: time to do a little Who's hot?
- 10:28Speaker 2: Who's not? Brought to by Donovan Jorgenson Heating and cooling.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Who do you got for? Who's hot and who's not?
- 10:33Speaker 4: So a couple of opportunities now definitely hot category. Yesterday
- 10:36Speaker 4: Paul Skeins took a no hitter into the seventh inning
- 10:39Speaker 4: again as he is unreal in night games so far
- 10:43Speaker 4: and just unreal in general, and frankly, might be somebody
- 10:46Speaker 4: that you might have to seems like they might have
- 10:48Speaker 4: some staying power. Who's also hot? Kyle Schwarber has homered
- 10:51Speaker 4: in his last five games, and Victor webmin Yama was
- 10:56Speaker 4: very much hot last night after being in the hot
- 10:58Speaker 4: category for a different reason earlier in the weeks. Drew
- 11:01Speaker 4: no elbows thrown thirty three minutes, twenty seven points, seventeen boards,
- 11:06Speaker 4: also five assists and three blocks from Wemby last night
- 11:10Speaker 4: as his Spurs roll through the Minnesota Timberwolves and make
- 11:13Speaker 4: that series a three to two lead. I'm gonna put
- 11:16Speaker 4: Brandon Sprout in the hot category for winning his first
- 11:20Speaker 4: game as a brewery yesterday, getting his first decision, his
- 11:22Speaker 4: first w but.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Also in the month of May.
- 11:26Speaker 4: Now, granted, I get it, two starts, small sample size here,
- 11:29Speaker 4: nine and the third innings. Pitched seven hits, given up
- 11:32Speaker 4: three runs, all earned. They were all in last night's start.
- 11:35Speaker 4: But that's eleven k is through nine plus innings and
- 11:38Speaker 4: an ERA for the month of under three. It's hard
- 11:42Speaker 4: to start out at a twenty one earned run average
- 11:44Speaker 4: and bring that.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Son of a gun down to a respectable spot.
- 11:48Speaker 4: But Drew by the middle of May, he's sitting there
- 11:49Speaker 4: right at a five, and it could be a lot worse.
- 11:52Speaker 4: Seems like he's really starting to figure some stuff out
- 11:54Speaker 4: longing in. Yeah, absolutely, we'll talk to Rock about that.
- 11:57Speaker 4: Put into the not category. Your boy Matt Walder last
- 12:00Speaker 4: night for the San Diego Padres, not only because he
- 12:03Speaker 4: was two and two thirds and gave up six ernies
- 12:05Speaker 4: on the eight hits. My man was struggling. When he
- 12:09Speaker 4: got that got that funt. You could tell everything was
- 12:13Speaker 4: starting to create in on him. And then when David
- 12:14Speaker 4: Hamilton decided that he was gonna lay that thing down
- 12:17Speaker 4: right in front of her, right in front of home plate,
- 12:19Speaker 4: Waldron goes and thinks he's gonna get the lead runner
- 12:22Speaker 4: at third and then has to.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Go turnover pivot to Hamilton.
- 12:26Speaker 4: Not category for the young man that gave up the
- 12:28Speaker 4: small market rally last night to the Brewers and their
- 12:30Speaker 4: six four w yeah.
- 12:31Speaker 1: And to his like, you know, maybe he thought he
- 12:34Speaker 1: was making the right play. I think he thought he
- 12:36Speaker 1: was making the right play in the middle of it,
- 12:38Speaker 1: and then turned around and realized that Hamilton is super
- 12:40Speaker 1: fast and that ain't gonna work. Like maybe against most
- 12:43Speaker 1: guys you could do the quick checkover and then throw
- 12:46Speaker 1: it a first in time still, but it definitely didn't
- 12:48Speaker 1: work last night for him. So, you know, Patton and.
- 12:50Speaker 3: Brewers rally like you guys have wall Market, woodpeckers, paper cuts,
- 12:56Speaker 3: as many as you need, We'll take all adds up.
- 12:58Speaker 4: And in the not category for who's hot Who's not
- 13:02Speaker 4: had been shoe Hao Tani. Now he got back on
- 13:04Speaker 4: track with the Homer last night, but he was four
- 13:07Speaker 4: of four for thirty one drove Holy Cow four for
- 13:09Speaker 4: thirty one one Oh my goodness.
- 13:11Speaker 2: They were in punch outs.
- 13:12Speaker 4: They were sounding the alarms and asking Dave Roberts, what
- 13:14Speaker 4: are you going to do.
- 13:15Speaker 3: With this guy? He's like, I think you might have
- 13:17Speaker 3: to give Hm a day off. He starts to chase
- 13:19Speaker 3: a little bit. His balance is off, but then he
- 13:21Speaker 3: finds it. Like I said, he was off. When show
- 13:25Speaker 3: Hey takes VP on the field, that's when he's really
- 13:28Speaker 3: searching for it because he doesn't usually hit on the field. Sure,
- 13:31Speaker 3: and then he did like I remember he did in
- 13:32Speaker 3: the playoffs. He wasn't he wasn't feeling good, went hit
- 13:35Speaker 3: on the field and then hit three home runs against
- 13:37Speaker 3: the Brewers.
- 13:37Speaker 4: Yeah, and then hit three bombs and then closed out
- 13:39Speaker 4: like uh. There are certain guys that are beautiful to
- 13:42Speaker 4: watch execute their toil, and Steph Curry in pregame would
- 13:47Speaker 4: be one of those guys. I would pay big money
- 13:49Speaker 4: to sit in a recliner right behind the cage and
- 13:52Speaker 4: just watch Shoe Hayo Tani threep.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:54Speaker 4: That would be a next level experience.
- 13:56Speaker 1: For US playoff and in the not category guys that
- 13:59Speaker 1: were Last year, cal Rawley was in an over thirty
- 14:02Speaker 1: eight that finally got snapped. I mean, really really bad
- 14:05Speaker 1: shower with his entire clothes on. That was his entire
- 14:08Speaker 1: key to success, to wash up the bad mojo. Have
- 14:11Speaker 1: you guys ever done anything like that? I think that
- 14:13Speaker 1: was like no one had been talking about Calra.
- 14:14Speaker 4: I've jumped in the pool with my clothes on before that.
- 14:17Speaker 3: I did after a buddy's wedding and my tex My
- 14:19Speaker 3: rented Tucks. Everybody was in the level tuxes and bridesmaids dresses.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Everybody is awesome.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Took that sucker back wreaking of chlorine.
- 14:28Speaker 4: Better than suit bag with dripping a fond due because
- 14:32Speaker 4: my buddy thought that would be a fun thing.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Catch this chocolate sauce. You know how I feel about
- 14:36Speaker 1: Tucks rentals, so I'm very happy you.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Did that scam that.
- 14:40Speaker 4: There is racket also one final one for who's hot
- 14:43Speaker 4: Who's not? In Donovan Jorgensen heating and cooling the best
- 14:47Speaker 4: around and they do HVAC. They do HVAC better than
- 14:50Speaker 4: anybody else because they do it consistently. How about former Brewer.
- 14:54Speaker 4: Let's throw him in here and I'll pour one out.
- 14:57Speaker 4: Erics still playing Major League baseball and hit too jobs
- 15:00Speaker 4: last night at Dodger Stadium first Giant ever to hit,
- 15:03Speaker 4: first Giant catcher to ever hit two bombs at Dodger Stadium.
- 15:07Speaker 1: So congratulations, Eric Costa.
- 15:09Speaker 2: I love that.
- 15:09Speaker 3: And first year manager Tony Vittello saying that he's the
- 15:12Speaker 3: next Jake Taylor. He's like, this might be major League
- 15:14Speaker 3: four four. He's totally Jake Taylor, straight from the Mexican League.
- 15:19Speaker 1: You make a reference to major League, you know, I'm
- 15:21Speaker 1: here for it at anytime. Digging that.
- 15:24Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we also right shout it down Van Jorganson,
- 15:26Speaker 3: but we also are superhero of the day. I think
- 15:29Speaker 3: I'm thinking brought to us by Current Electric. I think
- 15:32Speaker 3: that might have to be Jason Collins.
- 15:33Speaker 4: Yeah, and Jason Collins uh passed away yesterday with a
- 15:37Speaker 4: long battle with brain cancer. And uh he was the
- 15:40Speaker 4: first openly gay NBA player. Now, I had a couple
- 15:45Speaker 4: of very very nice run ins with with Jason Jason
- 15:48Speaker 4: Collins when he was a guy on the Hawks and
- 15:52Speaker 4: I was just a nobody ball kid. Just treated everybody
- 15:55Speaker 4: with immense, immense respect and a very very sweet man.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Uh.
- 15:59Speaker 4: Just a are horrifying, horrifying disease. And Ramona Shelburne put
- 16:04Speaker 4: together a very cool piece yesterday and a really really
- 16:07Speaker 4: good statement. She knew Jason Collins very well, but passed
- 16:11Speaker 4: away yesterday age of forty nine. It's far too young
- 16:13Speaker 4: to be losing people. And we lose way too many
- 16:15Speaker 4: people every single day from cancer. And there's people that
- 16:19Speaker 4: you know, battling and amongst us, there's people that are
- 16:22Speaker 4: fighting it every single day at all these hospitals and
- 16:24Speaker 4: finding more information and new cures and everything. But man,
- 16:29Speaker 4: it affects everybody, and it does not matter your sexual orientation,
- 16:33Speaker 4: your race, your gender, your economic class, wherever you are.
- 16:37Speaker 4: That disease does not discriminate. And it took one far
- 16:40Speaker 4: too early yesterday.
- 16:41Speaker 1: And Jason.
- 16:42Speaker 2: When I heard that, and.
- 16:42Speaker 3: Then I heard ABC Nightly News talk about Brandon Clark
- 16:46Speaker 3: from the Grizzlies past twenty nine years old overdose, my wife's.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Like another NBA guy passed like it. That's you know.
- 16:53Speaker 3: Jim mcaveaan's told us about big guys having a short
- 16:55Speaker 3: life expectances and he's trying to guard against that, and
- 16:59Speaker 3: a lot of guys struggle with their weight and things
- 17:01Speaker 3: like that. But man, to lose two guys like that,
- 17:03Speaker 3: it's a strange I mean, granted, you get past your
- 17:06Speaker 3: playing days in your your upper forties, early fifties. You
- 17:10Speaker 3: can get anybody cancer especially but Brandon clerklessly it might
- 17:13Speaker 3: have been an overdose at twenty nine and Active Player
- 17:15Speaker 3: Active player. Yeah, that was in the same day. Both young, Yeah, terrible,
- 17:18Speaker 3: but yeah. Jason Collins gets that superhero nod for me.
- 17:21Speaker 4: Yeah, and uh again, just certain individuals that have an
- 17:26Speaker 4: impact for no apparent reason that you remember. Just an
- 17:29Speaker 4: incredible run and in a hell of a life. Live
- 17:32Speaker 4: from Jason Collins thirteen NBA seasons as well. Current electricall

- 19:22Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 19:23Speaker 2: How was park at the park night last night?
- 19:26Speaker 5: I wasn't there. I wasn't there, I wasn't working. I'm
- 19:29Speaker 5: not doing the series. It's well, I was watching on TV.
- 19:35Speaker 5: They had a lot of dogs on. It was pretty entertaining.
- 19:39Speaker 5: It was pretty good. Vinnie and Vinnie and Jeff were
- 19:42Speaker 5: pretty good with some of their some of their lines
- 19:45Speaker 5: last night.
- 19:46Speaker 4: When the doorbells start getting the dogs howling in the
- 19:49Speaker 4: middle of the third inning, I don't know if that
- 19:51Speaker 4: woke up the rally, but whatever, you need to get
- 19:53Speaker 4: the bats going. I know the the animals in the
- 19:56Speaker 4: clubhouse used to be a thing rock for a Joe
- 19:58Speaker 4: Madden team. But you bring h dog's into the second level,
- 20:01Speaker 4: maybe you wake some offense up in the nine hole.
- 20:04Speaker 5: About Joey. Maybe it should be every day should be
- 20:07Speaker 5: park at the park day. Joey with the home run
- 20:09Speaker 5: and another head And yeah, it's good for him, man.
- 20:12Speaker 5: I mean, you know you're root for Joey. He's been
- 20:15Speaker 5: he's been scuffling at the plate, but I'll tell you,
- 20:18Speaker 5: his defense is why he's able to stay in the game,
- 20:21Speaker 5: stay in the lineup all the time. Just a incredible
- 20:23Speaker 5: defense by Joey. But good for him last night with
- 20:26Speaker 5: the bat.
- 20:27Speaker 3: He's one of those I know, fans get mad at
- 20:29Speaker 3: him because he seems like comes up with the basement
- 20:31Speaker 3: all the time, but he seems like one of those
- 20:32Speaker 3: guys who's a good teammate. And that reaction last night
- 20:35Speaker 3: to his homer was real. You don't fake that. Guys
- 20:37Speaker 3: were happy for him because.
- 20:38Speaker 5: He's Yeah, he's working hard. I mean, you know it's looking.
- 20:42Speaker 5: I mean, this is the results oriented business, and you
- 20:46Speaker 5: know everybody you know has their pain on things. But
- 20:50Speaker 5: you know he does work at it. I mean, you know,
- 20:53Speaker 5: Eric theon and you know he's working hard with him
- 20:56Speaker 5: every single day. You know, he and vogelim back and
- 21:00Speaker 5: you know it's good that it was. He's able to
- 21:02Speaker 5: come through in last night's game. So Brewers are playing
- 21:05Speaker 5: really good right now. You know, I was sitting here,
- 21:08Speaker 5: you know, you know, I go online and I want
- 21:10Speaker 5: some of this stuff from MLB and they have the
- 21:12Speaker 5: power rankings. You know, the power rankings come out. I
- 21:15Speaker 5: don't know how often it happens, but the Brewers are
- 21:17Speaker 5: fifth in the power rankings right now. You know, I
- 21:21Speaker 5: don't I don't really put a whole lot of stock
- 21:23Speaker 5: into stuff like that unless it's really good for the
- 21:25Speaker 5: Brewers that I talk about it. But you know, there's
- 21:31Speaker 5: the power rankings are fifth. I think they're right behind
- 21:34Speaker 5: you know, the Cubs are ahead of them. But you know, hey,
- 21:37Speaker 5: they're playing great ball, and it's it's really good now
- 21:40Speaker 5: that Murph has this full compliment of offensive players now
- 21:42Speaker 5: for the first time all year. And you know, who knows.
- 21:46Speaker 5: I mean, it's going to be a tough schedule in name,
- 21:48Speaker 5: tough schedule in May coming up, but or throughout the
- 21:52Speaker 5: rest of this month. But well, you know, we'll see
- 21:54Speaker 5: how it all works out.
- 21:55Speaker 4: Take a good time to start playing better. Rocket and
- 21:57Speaker 4: you mentioned it of where they'll rank them amongst baseball.
- 22:00Speaker 4: Their run differential is really really good. I know, the
- 22:03Speaker 4: wins and losses may not be exactly what some people
- 22:06Speaker 4: had to hope for or dreamed of, but man, when
- 22:08Speaker 4: you start winning ten of thirteen, it can jump on
- 22:11Speaker 4: you quick. You mentioned the full offense being back. Just
- 22:14Speaker 4: how much of that is the production and what happens
- 22:18Speaker 4: in the locker room Because we talked about it before,
- 22:21Speaker 4: yes and yelling. He's so different when he's active in
- 22:23Speaker 4: being able to be a part of it.
- 22:26Speaker 5: Well, when you're when your leader is you know, on
- 22:27Speaker 5: the injured list, I mean, it just doesn't have that
- 22:30Speaker 5: same appeal. You know, it doesn't have that same impact.
- 22:33Speaker 5: But you know, now all of a sudden, you've got
- 22:35Speaker 5: Vaughn back, You've got Churio back, you got Yelli's back.
- 22:38Speaker 5: I mean that's just gonna make everybody relax a little
- 22:41Speaker 5: bit more. You know. It's going to strengthen the lineup
- 22:43Speaker 5: for sure, I mean that's obvious. But you know what
- 22:45Speaker 5: it else. It does. It strengthens your bench too. When
- 22:47Speaker 5: your players, when your bench players are expected to be
- 22:51Speaker 5: productive on a daily basis, that puts a lot of
- 22:53Speaker 5: pressure on them. They're not expected to do that and
- 22:57Speaker 5: when you you know, ask them to do that, I
- 22:59Speaker 5: mean that's that's pressure, and then you know you're when
- 23:01Speaker 5: you're when your bench players are in the starting lineup,
- 23:04Speaker 5: then you know your your your bench is weaker as well.
- 23:07Speaker 5: So I think it just helps everything. I think that
- 23:09Speaker 5: the pitchers are going to relax now. I think they're
- 23:11Speaker 5: going to be able to score a few more runs.
- 23:13Speaker 5: And you know where the Brewers are right now is
- 23:16Speaker 5: basically because of their pitching and how good it has been.
- 23:19Speaker 5: I mean, bullpen and starting will take. How about Sprote yesterday?
- 23:22Speaker 5: I mean that guy, he's got some nasty stuff out there.
- 23:25Speaker 5: I mean it's you know, the way it comes out
- 23:27Speaker 5: of his hand, It'll cut, it will sink. And then
- 23:30Speaker 5: you got to ask me coming out of the bullpen.
- 23:31Speaker 5: I mean, it's been great, and then today you got
- 23:34Speaker 5: the midzes. I mean, how how much how good can it?
- 23:37Speaker 5: How much better can it get when you have mids
- 23:39Speaker 5: on the mount? I mean, I'm amazed that this ballpark
- 23:41Speaker 5: isn't filled up every time he pitches, and it's pretty
- 23:45Speaker 5: close anyway. But you know, he's something else. I mean,
- 23:48Speaker 5: he's on He's on the next level.
- 23:50Speaker 3: Yeah, talking about Strodeer Brewers TV that game against the Yankees,
- 23:53Speaker 3: Rock I was watching it from Costa Rica when watching
- 23:56Speaker 3: your show in Costa Rica when Miz was mowing down
- 23:59Speaker 3: the Yankees. That was impressive, man, that for him to
- 24:02Speaker 3: do that, there's always extra juice when the Yankees come
- 24:04Speaker 3: to town. We talked about it on Monday.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no matter.
- 24:09Speaker 5: They would have swept a little bit of a payback
- 24:12Speaker 5: from last year, right when he started a year ago.
- 24:18Speaker 5: That's that's a big deal, you know. I mean, you know,
- 24:22Speaker 5: they just got taken apart Yankee Stadium. But it was great.
- 24:24Speaker 5: I mean, all three games were great. The pitching was phenomenal.
- 24:28Speaker 5: You know, the bullpen, I mean, very timely, opportunistic offensively,
- 24:33Speaker 5: and you know with Terang with the big home run,
- 24:37Speaker 5: about that guy, I mean, I tell you, this guy
- 24:40Speaker 5: is going to make a heck of a lot of
- 24:41Speaker 5: money at some point in his career. So and so,
- 24:44Speaker 5: you know, just enjoy what's going on out there right
- 24:47Speaker 5: now with the Brewers. I mean, now that they're fully healthy,
- 24:50Speaker 5: you're going to be getting Priester back. He's going on
- 24:52Speaker 5: a rehab assignment. So everything is looking up for this
- 24:55Speaker 5: these guys.
- 24:56Speaker 3: We talked about Bark at the Park night being good
- 24:58Speaker 3: for Joe Yo, but Rock like the rally came yesterday
- 25:02Speaker 3: with Matt Arnold dropping in you at the home there.
- 25:05Speaker 3: It's like, what's Matt Arnold ters of generating runs when
- 25:07Speaker 3: he drops into the booth.
- 25:08Speaker 2: With you guys.
- 25:10Speaker 5: Yeah, he doesn't really like going on the air too
- 25:12Speaker 5: much with us, but I don't think it's personal. But
- 25:15Speaker 5: he keeps says pretty close to the vest. I mean,
- 25:17Speaker 5: he has done such a spectacular job, you know, since
- 25:20Speaker 5: he's been he's taken over the reins as president of
- 25:24Speaker 5: Baseball Operations. I mean, think about all the moves that
- 25:27Speaker 5: he has made, and there there aren't too many you
- 25:30Speaker 5: know that hasn't worked out. I mean, you know, he
- 25:33Speaker 5: works on a shoe string budget pretty much. I mean,
- 25:36Speaker 5: and he's able to get guys and they bring them
- 25:39Speaker 5: in and especially pitching with Chris Hook and Jim Henderson
- 25:42Speaker 5: and those guys get their their claws into them. I mean,
- 25:45Speaker 5: they become bona fide Big leaguers. And you know, so
- 25:48Speaker 5: Maddy Maddie comes on, you know, I know that he's
- 25:52Speaker 5: kind of uncomfortable with it because he doesn't like talking
- 25:54Speaker 5: too much about what he has been doing and talking
- 25:57Speaker 5: about himself. But he's been phenomenal. It's phenomenal, well.
- 26:01Speaker 4: In phenomenal, and he seems like he's a little bit
- 26:04Speaker 4: easier and likes to get the microphone. You guys, getting
- 26:07Speaker 4: to talk with with CC this weekend and getting to
- 26:10Speaker 4: honor him Rock. How cool is it to think of
- 26:13Speaker 4: how what a launching pad that two thousand and eight
- 26:16Speaker 4: trade season ultimately was for the organization. I mean, you
- 26:21Speaker 4: were calling the games before that, when you were our entertainment,
- 26:25Speaker 4: we appreciated you.
- 26:26Speaker 2: A lot more.
- 26:26Speaker 4: You got to know how much we appreciated you at
- 26:28Speaker 4: that point. Rock something to watch. But now for the
- 26:31Speaker 4: last twenty years, man, it's been incredible, and it all
- 26:34Speaker 4: feels like it started in eight.
- 26:37Speaker 5: It's that a comedy act anymore, right, you know, back
- 26:39Speaker 5: in the old days with me and Best Scourge and
- 26:41Speaker 5: then you know, Darren Sutton and we had Bob Brainer,
- 26:44Speaker 5: you know, doing stuff, doing some goofy stuff, and you know,
- 26:47Speaker 5: the Buckethead Brigade.
- 26:48Speaker 4: I still got my bucket Head somewhere my parents. It's
- 26:51Speaker 4: in my parents' basement somewhere, just so you know, I still.
- 26:53Speaker 2: Have it somewhere in there.
- 26:55Speaker 5: Yeah. By the way, I have a whole box of
- 26:56Speaker 5: those T shirts, but I just I can't even give
- 26:59Speaker 5: him away. I think waxed my car with him. But anyway,
- 27:03Speaker 5: but ever since CC came came around, and I mean,
- 27:07Speaker 5: things were going pretty well, you know in eight you know,
- 27:10Speaker 5: you know before that. But you know, when he came
- 27:12Speaker 5: in early in July and you know, put together eleven
- 27:15Speaker 5: and two record and earn run average just a little
- 27:18Speaker 5: over one, I mean, it was it was a difference maker.
- 27:20Speaker 5: And I think that when he walked into that clubhouse
- 27:23Speaker 5: and gave everybody the confidence, said hey, this organization now
- 27:26Speaker 5: they want to win. And ever since that time, you know,
- 27:28Speaker 5: it's been onward and upwards, you know, and you just
- 27:31Speaker 5: hope that at some point for it's going to be
- 27:33Speaker 5: able to get that brass ring and get into the
- 27:35Speaker 5: World Series. But I like their chances this year. You know,
- 27:38Speaker 5: the clubs are tough. You know, the division is really
- 27:42Speaker 5: good this year. So we'll see, we'll see. You know,
- 27:45Speaker 5: that Yankee series said a lot about the makeup of
- 27:48Speaker 5: these guys and and what they expect and what Murph
- 27:51Speaker 5: expects out of them, and you know, it's it's been
- 27:54Speaker 5: it's been a blast ever since ever since CC came
- 27:57Speaker 5: walking through that service level and we had a we
- 27:59Speaker 5: had a on him, and you know, things have changed
- 28:02Speaker 5: for this organization in a big way.
- 28:04Speaker 3: I saw people from other markets, I think Cincinnati, maybe
- 28:07Speaker 3: in Chicago, like Brewers are putting him on a wall
- 28:09Speaker 3: of mount what are they doing? He played, He pitched
- 28:11Speaker 3: like fifteen games like you weren't here, man, You do
- 28:14Speaker 3: know the impact. They don't make the playoffs without him.
- 28:16Speaker 3: And how he was taking the ball three days rest,
- 28:19Speaker 3: going into free agency, risking his arm and his health
- 28:22Speaker 3: to carry the team to the playoffs.
- 28:24Speaker 1: It was absurd.
- 28:25Speaker 3: I mean, no players had more of an impact in
- 28:27Speaker 3: a short time than cc Sabathia and Milwaukee.
- 28:31Speaker 5: Yeah, and how many guys would go three days rest
- 28:33Speaker 5: in their in their free agencies. And you know, and
- 28:36Speaker 5: not only did not only did he was able to
- 28:38Speaker 5: get through that, but I think it really increased his
- 28:41Speaker 5: value as a guy. That's not he's selfless. I mean
- 28:44Speaker 5: he doesn't. He wants to win, and he understood how
- 28:48Speaker 5: important it was for him to get out there on
- 28:50Speaker 5: the mountain. The only the only regret that I have
- 28:52Speaker 5: is that he didn't have that that no hitter in Pittsburgh.
- 28:55Speaker 5: I upset about that. You know, you remember that Drew,
- 28:58Speaker 5: I mean that little comeback to him and one office
- 29:01Speaker 5: glove and the official Scolandula Roach gets a little comebacker
- 29:04Speaker 5: and he goes off his glove. The only hit they
- 29:06Speaker 5: got in that game. And it still burns me a
- 29:08Speaker 5: little bit. But anyway, he remembered and I mentioned it
- 29:11Speaker 5: to him when he when we were off air, I said,
- 29:14Speaker 5: you remember that game in Pittsburgh, sofye, Andy L. Roach,
- 29:17Speaker 5: I could have had an air. So guys, don't forget
- 29:21Speaker 5: that kind of stuff. But you know, you know, he's
- 29:24Speaker 5: such a class act. He works from Major League Baseball
- 29:26Speaker 5: now as an ambassador. He goes around to different teams
- 29:30Speaker 5: and has chats with him. I'm sure that there's a
- 29:31Speaker 5: lot to talk about with respect to the you know,
- 29:34Speaker 5: the the union and you know the you know, the
- 29:37Speaker 5: the deal that I hope that they're going to be
- 29:39Speaker 5: able to put together before next season. But you know,
- 29:43Speaker 5: she's about He is one of the classiest guys that
- 29:46Speaker 5: you'll ever meet. And you know, Dave Parker, you know,
- 29:49Speaker 5: he had a presence as well. You know Dave Parker
- 29:52Speaker 5: and Dave Winfield. I think in my mind when when

- 29:58Speaker 5: They commanded the room and they no two guys I
- 30:01Speaker 5: can recall had more, he showed more, he showed more
- 30:05Speaker 5: respect to those guys than those two.
- 30:07Speaker 4: Was Dave Winfield one of the best athletes you ever saw.

- 30:29Speaker 5: presence he was, how good he was. It was towards

- 31:52Speaker 3: saw Judge over the weekend and for a lot of people,
- 31:55Speaker 3: like in Milwaukee, that's the first time I saw him
- 31:57Speaker 3: in person. We got plenty of Otani uh last year,
- 32:00Speaker 3: but when you see those guys, you just your jaw
- 32:03Speaker 3: drops and how big they are and.
- 32:05Speaker 2: How good they are. And it's just not the same
- 32:07Speaker 2: seeing them on TV as it is in person.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Is it.
- 32:10Speaker 5: But they got some pretty big dudes on that team.
- 32:12Speaker 5: I mean Jones, I mean he's right there with them.
- 32:14Speaker 5: I mean, the Brewers were able to handle that lineup
- 32:17Speaker 5: like crazy, right, I mean the Yankees weren't able to
- 32:21Speaker 5: score too many runs, and they came in on a
- 32:22Speaker 5: hot streak. And you know, I remember the first time
- 32:26Speaker 5: I ever saw Aaron Judge. We were going into the
- 32:28Speaker 5: Yankee stadium, just got off the bus and we walked
- 32:30Speaker 5: into the stands and he's in the batting cage, and
- 32:33Speaker 5: I swear to you, it looked as though his helmet
- 32:36Speaker 5: was scraping the top of the batting cage. It was
- 32:38Speaker 5: like a giant in the batting cage. And not only
- 32:42Speaker 5: not only is he a great athlete, and he's got
- 32:44Speaker 5: he saw that throw that he made, you know in
- 32:46Speaker 5: the tenth inning, uh the other night. I mean, he's
- 32:49Speaker 5: got a terrific arm, he's got great, you know, skills
- 32:53Speaker 5: in the outfield, and more importantly, he's a great person.
- 32:57Speaker 5: I mean he has time for everybody. I remember Don
- 33:01Speaker 5: Don was talking to him the other you know, one
- 33:03Speaker 5: of those days that they were in town. He's got
- 33:05Speaker 5: he has time for everybody. It doesn't matter who you are.

- 35:41Speaker 3: halfway through the week.
- 35:42Speaker 1: We'll over the.
- 35:43Speaker 3: Everybody else is getting their Wednesday started. We appreciate you
- 35:45Speaker 3: hanging out with us in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio
- 35:48Speaker 3: Wisconsin Radio Wisconsin. Having a good day here. Always good
- 35:55Speaker 3: to catch up with rock kicking around the top. They
- 35:57Speaker 3: still time for you to get in some hot takes
- 35:59Speaker 3: eight seven seven seven ninety four seven three. Are there
- 36:02Speaker 3: any lion around arming that we didn't get to hot takes?
- 36:06Speaker 1: Yeah, there definitely are. Let me just grab some of
- 36:08Speaker 1: these here. There definitely are. Now. One of them was
- 36:10Speaker 1: in general it was not a hot take, I guess.
- 36:13Speaker 1: But boss or Dobbler doesn't like hypothetical questions in general.
- 36:16Speaker 1: He gave us a thumbs down. Dobbler, I'm sorry, we're
- 36:20Speaker 1: gonna talk hypotheticals here.
- 36:21Speaker 5: Now.
- 36:21Speaker 1: We know you're one of our mainstays. We love you.
- 36:23Speaker 1: But that's what I like that.
- 36:25Speaker 4: Doddler's just got a locker room mindset. We're not dealing
- 36:28Speaker 4: with hypothetical Yeah, we're dealing with the year and now
- 36:31Speaker 4: in the real stuff.
- 36:31Speaker 1: He's here to gatekeep on hot takes, not have a
- 36:34Speaker 1: hot take, he said, these are not hot takes. Hot
- 36:36Speaker 1: take is it quickly produced, strongly warded, and often deliberately
- 36:39Speaker 1: provocative or controversial opinion, a reaction to a current eventter topic. Yes,
- 36:44Speaker 1: hypotheticals are different than hot takes. It's not hot. It's
- 36:48Speaker 1: not a hypothetical hump day. But you know, we're open
- 36:51Speaker 1: to all kinds of discussions here. I mean, we're not
- 36:54Speaker 1: gonna we're not gonna pitch and we're gonna test our
- 36:56Speaker 1: limits here, you know. So I think that was that
- 36:58Speaker 1: was an interesting one.
- 36:59Speaker 4: I think we might have to I think we might
- 37:01Speaker 4: have to throw hypothetical hot hypothetical take day into the equation.
- 37:05Speaker 4: That might have to get thrown into the hopper at one.
- 37:07Speaker 4: Maybe that might be a fun June day. Maybe that
- 37:10Speaker 4: might be that might be Awaken Bake Day. But you
- 37:13Speaker 4: that sounds like we put in all of our half
- 37:15Speaker 4: baked theories and questions about sports and we just unload
- 37:19Speaker 4: all of the possibility.
- 37:21Speaker 2: That's it.
- 37:21Speaker 1: That's what we did. That would be it four.
- 37:23Speaker 2: Point line in the NBA.
- 37:25Speaker 4: Dounks are were three, and we could find a lot
- 37:27Speaker 4: of interesting hypotheticals as to how that would change his
- 37:29Speaker 4: story or like you said earlier in the show, he
- 37:32Speaker 4: had his own hot take trade brown blank glove Mitchell
- 37:36Speaker 4: to Atlanta for a working non cloudy centerfield TV camera.
- 37:39Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. Forh the sounds so is Garrett Mitchell.
- 37:44Speaker 1: We get it, okay, Wisconsin sports fanatic, No overseas game
- 37:47Speaker 1: for the Packers. They always lose a home game when
- 37:49Speaker 1: they play overseas, stay home. Pack They also lose games
- 37:53Speaker 1: when they play overseas.
- 37:54Speaker 4: Am I wrong lost their two international games. Now, the
- 37:57Speaker 4: expectation was they were going to be because all the
- 38:01Speaker 4: home teams have been announced, all of the road teams.
- 38:03Speaker 4: Are the ones going to be announced later on here
- 38:06Speaker 4: today in what about nine minutes or so, I think
- 38:07Speaker 4: eight am Central is when it officially gets dropped. But
- 38:11Speaker 4: this year they have the additional home game. I think
- 38:13Speaker 4: the additional home game is going to go to the
- 38:15Speaker 4: Green package. So this would have been a year that
- 38:17Speaker 4: they possibly would have lost one, but they were not
- 38:21Speaker 4: in line to be losing it.
- 38:23Speaker 3: This week this year. So, yes, the list is out.
- 38:25Speaker 3: Yes the Packers are staying domestic.
- 38:26Speaker 1: Staying home, staying home.
- 38:28Speaker 3: Come on now, Week one, San Francisco at La Melbourne, Australia.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Gotta like that for both of those teams.
- 38:35Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a travel and that's a fascinating game because
- 38:37Speaker 4: it's gonna be played at like ten to thirty local time.
- 38:40Speaker 2: Week three in Rio Ravens and Cowboys.
- 38:44Speaker 1: M okay.
- 38:45Speaker 3: Week four in London, Colts and Commanders, five in London,
- 38:50Speaker 3: Eagles and Jags. That's a really good game. Week six,
- 38:54Speaker 3: Jags doing the double dip. They're staying in London.
- 38:56Speaker 4: Texans at Jags, another really good game. Division game out
- 39:00Speaker 4: there for the Texans and Jakes. That's a fast that's.
- 39:02Speaker 3: The game in Paris, the first one week seven, October
- 39:04Speaker 3: twenty fifth, the Florida Lee. The Saints will be the
- 39:06Speaker 3: favorite because of the logo facing the Steelers.
- 39:10Speaker 4: Ooh, Aaron's gonna have to go international again. Played in Paris.
- 39:14Speaker 1: So I imagine you.
- 39:14Speaker 3: Enjoyed the probably dig it Week nine in Madrid. You've
- 39:17Speaker 3: got the Bengals and Falcons.
- 39:19Speaker 4: I think we should have given them a worse game
- 39:22Speaker 4: than that, But now you know what you get in
- 39:24Speaker 4: middle of the road teams.
- 39:25Speaker 3: Okay, Week ten in Munich November fifteenth, so you're clear
- 39:30Speaker 3: of Octoberfest Patriots at Allions.
- 39:33Speaker 4: Okay, do they get page six in Munich? That's a
- 39:37Speaker 4: great questions. That's why you can advertise the frame of one.
- 39:40Speaker 3: Week eleven Mexico City, where they've had some issues and
- 39:42Speaker 3: stuff before.
- 39:43Speaker 2: But Vikings and forty.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Nine forty nine Ers now.
- 39:47Speaker 4: Shanahan said that he had tried to pitch for the
- 39:49Speaker 4: Rams also to be in that game, because he said
- 39:51Speaker 4: they requested us, so I'm gonna request in them. I
- 39:53Speaker 4: think the Minnesota game is a Monday night game. If
- 39:55Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, they're in Mexico City. That'll be for
- 39:58Speaker 4: twenty seconds. So that's your Internet national slate that was
- 40:01Speaker 4: released today. Packers staying home.
- 40:02Speaker 2: Now.
- 40:03Speaker 3: The question for me is what are they gonna do
- 40:05Speaker 3: on the holidays? They were talking about playing a game,
- 40:07Speaker 3: talking about Black Friday. They're talking about would the Packers
- 40:11Speaker 3: play on Thanksgiving for the third fourth year in a row.
- 40:13Speaker 4: I was gonna say fourth year in a row. I
- 40:15Speaker 4: think they're gonna play on Thanksgiving. I don't think they're
- 40:18Speaker 4: gonna play on Thanksgiving Eve. I think they're gonna play
- 40:19Speaker 4: Detroit on Thanksgiving unless the Bears are just the primetime
- 40:24Speaker 4: slate game of the year and they are all of
- 40:27Speaker 4: the national favorites, which I totally could see, they're the
- 40:30Speaker 4: flavor of the day. I could see the Bears leading
- 40:32Speaker 4: off the NFL season drew and playing on Thanksgiving.
- 40:35Speaker 2: See it.
- 40:35Speaker 1: But I like Packers aligned too much.
- 40:37Speaker 3: All Right, we've cruised through a Wednesday, We're halfway through
- 40:40Speaker 3: the week. Brewers Padres game two tonight. We'll have that
- 40:42Speaker 3: to talk about.
- 40:43Speaker 2: Tomorrow, as well as getting ready for the schedule release.
- 40:46Speaker 4: Oh can't wait and those flaming hot PGA Championship predictions.
- 40:51Speaker 3: Can't wait, can't wait. Thanks for hanging out with us.
- 40:53Speaker 3: We will see you again at five a m. Thursday,
