Speaker 1: in the good Land. Welcome to April, Welcome to the Huddle.
0:14
Speaker 1: Drew Wilson, Bill Schmid and of course Arman. Sorry and
0:17
Speaker 1: back there behind the glass helping us monitor the Nicolay lot.
0:19
Speaker 1: I'm talking text line eighty seven seven seven nine four
0:21
Speaker 1: one ninety seven three on a hot Take hump Day.
0:24

0:26
Speaker 1: ten seventy Madison, everywhere on the iHeart app and of
0:29
Speaker 1: course streaming live for those of you who want to
0:31
Speaker 1: watch us YouTube x and Facebook, Hot and bothered.
0:35
Speaker 2: Ooh is having fun with that? True? With those? Yeah,
0:39
Speaker 2: I had to bring the level down a little bit there.
0:40
Speaker 3: Sorry, I want to make it all right. Trying to
0:43
Speaker 3: find my old hot drops. You know, there's always a
0:45
Speaker 3: lot of good ones.
0:46
Speaker 4: Man.
0:46
Speaker 2: Did they delete most of the files in here and
0:48
Speaker 2: delete my backups and then to leave my backups?
0:51
Speaker 4: Yeah?
0:51
Speaker 2: Your boy actually had them for once, you know, Holy cow?
0:54
Speaker 2: Yeah goodness.
0:55
Speaker 3: They're gonna update the computer though my I don't when,
0:59
Speaker 3: but they're gonna update it all right.
1:01
Speaker 1: Third period, Get us your uh, get us your hot
1:04
Speaker 1: takes eight seven seven seven nine four one ninety seven
1:08
Speaker 1: to three looking for them. We've had robust discussions today
1:11
Speaker 1: about the Brewers, about Stebe Buckner, who kicked the call
1:14
Speaker 1: last night about the NBA MVP, the NFL ditching the
1:18
Speaker 1: doubleheaders on Monday night. Thank goodness, that's a good one
1:21
Speaker 1: to be able to get rid of. But they're gonna
1:23
Speaker 1: start taking over Wednesday so powerful, and.
1:26
Speaker 2: The tough thing is drew.
1:27
Speaker 5: As much as I want football every single day of
1:30
Speaker 5: the week, all right, right, like I'm fine watching football
1:32
Speaker 5: every single day of the week, I am understanding to
1:36
Speaker 5: those that have life right like I get like life
1:40
Speaker 5: kids in the way, and you can't always be able
1:42
Speaker 5: to make sure that you carve out a certain amount
1:44
Speaker 5: of time to be able to watch the NFL game.
1:46
Speaker 5: I don't think though, they're going to be in the
1:48
Speaker 5: position watching the way we consume media and desperately wondering
1:53
Speaker 5: what on earth we're gonna watch on a Wednesday night
1:56
Speaker 5: in the middle of November. State man, Okay, Colts Jaggs. Good,
2:00
Speaker 5: it should be fun. We can sit down for a
2:02
Speaker 5: little bit. But I'm however much they can bite off
2:06
Speaker 5: of this, and it then makes the eighteenth week make
2:12
Speaker 5: more sense as to why it's so coveted. They can
2:15
Speaker 5: break off one time slot for Netflix and make a
2:20
Speaker 5: hundred million dollars, right, it makes sense you grab all
2:23
Speaker 5: more of those primetime windows. That's so much more money
2:26
Speaker 5: that's gonna get funneled in. And I'm fascinated to see
2:29
Speaker 5: how much of that ultimately goes to the players as that.
2:32
Speaker 2: Give to the take of taking that eighteenth week.
2:35
Speaker 1: It is coming like a freight train coming down the track,
2:39
Speaker 1: rolling down the tracks.
2:40
Speaker 2: It's happening.
2:41
Speaker 1: And then it'll be two exhibition games and the players
2:43
Speaker 1: will need something back and J. C. Trader's got to
2:45
Speaker 1: try to save some face, I guess.
2:48
Speaker 5: And still somehow we'll sit there during training camp and
2:50
Speaker 5: be like, man, can we just get the real games going?
2:53
Speaker 4: Yeah?
2:54
Speaker 2: How long is this?
2:56
Speaker 1: I wonder it's still too long ago in college. Ain't
3:00
Speaker 1: no preseason in college. No, they just they fire up
3:02
Speaker 1: with Miami of Ohio games. And that one is the
3:05
Speaker 1: other hot take.
3:06
Speaker 5: Now, there have been a lot of things going on
3:09
Speaker 5: in the White House for all of those other This
3:11
Speaker 5: is not a political statement on it.
3:13
Speaker 2: The one thing that we do need to make sure.
3:15
Speaker 5: That we lock in out of all the executive orders
3:19
Speaker 5: that apparently we're trying to do in college sports. We're
3:21
Speaker 5: gonna lock in a time slot for Army Navy to
3:24
Speaker 5: be singularly focused on, and we need to kick off
3:28
Speaker 5: the college football season lect with Army Navy. Now the
3:31
Speaker 5: Badgers are going to go to Dublin next year. That's
3:34
Speaker 5: gonna be an awesome time. November or pardon me, August
3:38
Speaker 5: twenty fourth, I believe is the kickoff I'm proposing, Drew,
3:43
Speaker 5: Army Navy starts the college football season.
3:46
Speaker 2: We don't may wait till the end. We don't wait
3:49
Speaker 2: till the end.
3:50
Speaker 5: We don't have the situation where a couple of years
3:52
Speaker 5: ago I had I was like Spice Adams coming around
3:54
Speaker 5: the tree seeing we might get Army Navy back to
3:57
Speaker 5: back weeks. There was a moment in time where we
4:00
Speaker 5: were going to potentially get Army Navy for the American
4:03
Speaker 5: Athletic Conference Championship and then the pageantry of the Army
4:07
Speaker 5: Navy game. Feeling this right off of the feet of
4:10
Speaker 5: Joel Klatt. He has called it the national anthem of
4:13
Speaker 5: the college football season. And like the old Cincinnati Reds
4:18
Speaker 5: started up the first game of the baseball season, you
4:22
Speaker 5: start the football season. The college football season with Army Navy.
4:26
Speaker 5: I'd like it at the end of the.
4:27
Speaker 1: Season though, because these teams aren't really that relevant other
4:30
Speaker 1: than when they play each other.
4:31
Speaker 5: Well, see that's the thing, But that betting on the
4:33
Speaker 5: Pop Tart Bowl in the same time frame.
4:37
Speaker 2: Like Army Navy, where it is the end of the
4:39
Speaker 2: you know, it's.
4:40
Speaker 3: Like our little annual championship game before it is a
4:42
Speaker 3: real playoffs.
4:44
Speaker 2: I kind of agree, but I'd be okay with it being.
4:48
Speaker 3: The other part of it is as long as it's
4:49
Speaker 3: got the right platform, it deserves, correct.
4:52
Speaker 5: And the reason why also is because I think the
4:55
Speaker 5: dumbest thing they do in college football is take a
4:58
Speaker 5: month off before they play the playoffs. They should they
5:01
Speaker 5: should roll drew right off of the College Football off
5:05
Speaker 5: the conference championships or get rid of the conference championship. Yeah,
5:08
Speaker 5: and then play right away then. So that's the other part,
5:11
Speaker 5: Like where right now Army Navy would be sitting as
5:14
Speaker 5: the week after the conference championships, I think they're gonna
5:17
Speaker 5: be playing playoff games then, and I want that day
5:21
Speaker 5: whenever it ends up being, this is Army Navy Day.
5:25
Speaker 5: And whether or not that's in the third weekend in
5:27
Speaker 5: August instead of the second weekend in December. I want
5:30
Speaker 5: them to have their own time slot. So I think
5:32
Speaker 5: this is kind of a we got to move one
5:35
Speaker 5: to get what we ultimately need. We need the playoffs
5:37
Speaker 5: to be happening right after the college football season. So
5:40
Speaker 5: we're gonna give them their own platform and they're gonna
5:42
Speaker 5: be able to kick off the college football season with
5:45
Speaker 5: as cool as Brian Denny Stadium is and all of
5:48
Speaker 5: the other great pageantry in college football, there's nothing better
5:52
Speaker 5: than the Cadets and the midshipman walking in there into
5:55
Speaker 5: whatever NFL stadium they have in filling up that bowl.
5:58
Speaker 3: And the fact that it matters so much to everybody involved,
6:01
Speaker 3: and you see that, you see that passion on display.
6:04
Speaker 3: It makes for a better viewing experience. And so I
6:06
Speaker 3: agree with you, Billy, that'd be pretty I mean it
6:08
Speaker 3: would be bad. I'm not saying that's a terrible hot
6:11
Speaker 3: take at all.
6:12
Speaker 1: So eight seven three, share your hot takes with us,
6:16
Speaker 1: because that's what we do on Wednesdays in the huddle.
6:19
Speaker 2: Hot take.
6:21
Speaker 1: It was there were a couple of developments yesterday, but
6:24
Speaker 1: the Tiger Woods era is over. Tiger Woods is his
6:30
Speaker 1: relevance now for golf is that he's Tiger Jack Nicholas
6:34
Speaker 1: is going to be joining Amazon's crew for the Masters
6:36
Speaker 1: like a broadcast.
6:37
Speaker 5: Right, they got they got, they got holes now apparently sweet, Okay,
6:41
Speaker 5: they're nice.
6:42
Speaker 1: The first year they're doing some coverage. Okay, he's going
6:45
Speaker 1: to be doing that. Tigers shouldn't be near well, obviously
6:48
Speaker 1: he's going to rehabby now it's yesterday.
6:50
Speaker 2: He said he was going to do it. He's going
6:51
Speaker 2: to rehabbe his his post.
6:55
Speaker 1: Said, I know and understand the seriousness of the situation
6:58
Speaker 1: I find myself in today. Uh this of course is
7:01
Speaker 1: fourth major traffic incident. I'm stepping away for a period
7:04
Speaker 1: of time to seek treatment and focus on my health.
7:06
Speaker 1: This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my
7:08
Speaker 1: well being and work toward lasting recovery. Again, he was
7:12
Speaker 1: found with a couple of hydro codone bills in his pocket,
7:15
Speaker 1: and you know, he said it was just distracted. He pleaded,
7:19
Speaker 1: he pleaded not guilty, pled not guilty, and then and
7:23
Speaker 1: then going to rehab. All right, Well, whatever however the
7:26
Speaker 1: legal thing works out, he shouldn't be like in the
7:29
Speaker 1: mix as a Ryder Cup captain or any of that stuff.
7:31
Speaker 2: He's just like beat Tiger, And.
7:33
Speaker 1: But the the idea that he's gonna come and maybe someday.
7:37
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, I don't test it this year.
7:40
Speaker 1: I thought maybe when he goes to the Champions Tour
7:43
Speaker 1: and he'll play at Stricker's thing and come to come
7:45
Speaker 1: to Madison, it'll be great, right, But that town is
7:49
Speaker 1: not now, And I just think, like, let's just close
7:52
Speaker 1: the chapter on him being, you know, a seminal figure
7:55
Speaker 1: and wondering if he's gonna come back and try to
7:56
Speaker 1: win another major and trade tickle our hearts, pull out
7:59
Speaker 1: our heartstrings that way.
8:00
Speaker 2: I just don't see it not happening.
8:01
Speaker 5: No, And I hate the term realist when I say
8:05
Speaker 5: this a lot of times, I think he means pessimist.
8:07
Speaker 5: This one I think was all reality. He wouldn't gonna
8:09
Speaker 5: be able to do it again. And this one drew
8:11
Speaker 5: to your point, just like, eliminate it from the conversation
8:15
Speaker 5: and don't make it one of the talkers going into
8:19
Speaker 5: the Masters, because it should be about the guys that
8:21
Speaker 5: are playing right now. It should be the fact that hey,
8:23
Speaker 5: John Ramen is baling right now on the Live Tour
8:26
Speaker 5: and he's coming over to try to win the Masters,
8:28
Speaker 5: and you're gonna see bryceon de Shambeau coming back and
8:30
Speaker 5: how good Rory's been playing.
8:32
Speaker 2: In Scheffler and all that.
8:34
Speaker 5: That should be the story instead of Ken what once
8:38
Speaker 5: was the most impactful, important and just simply the best
8:43
Speaker 5: at his craft come back here to do it again.
8:45
Speaker 5: Because this is the arm and how do you say,
8:48
Speaker 5: the emperor with no clothes on?
8:49
Speaker 2: Yea, But like this is not like the third or
8:51
Speaker 2: fourth time.
8:52
Speaker 5: You've seen it, and now it's almost just of it's
8:55
Speaker 5: sad because it's clear that either it does register how
9:01
Speaker 5: dangerous it can be and or there's just a lack
9:05
Speaker 5: of care for everybody that ultimately gets put in danger
9:07
Speaker 5: in the situation.
9:08
Speaker 3: And that's my thing, you know. I hope he he's
9:11
Speaker 3: doing he's doing the rehab. I hope he's doing it
9:13
Speaker 3: because he seriously believes it'll help him, it'll help the
9:16
Speaker 3: people around him, it'll help him, you know, be better
9:18
Speaker 3: for himself, for his family. And then he needs it
9:21
Speaker 3: not just because he thinks it'll fulfill a public you know,
9:24
Speaker 3: a pr move that the people says you.
9:26
Speaker 2: Need to do.
9:27
Speaker 3: I hope that because not just checking a box. I'll
9:29
Speaker 3: say this not as a player where I think that's
9:31
Speaker 3: where you're going, and I agree with you there.
9:32
Speaker 2: I think those playing days over.
9:33
Speaker 3: But I think as a figure in the golf community,
9:37
Speaker 3: I think golf does need him to be a figure
9:39
Speaker 3: for the rest of his life one day, but a
9:41
Speaker 3: positive one. And if he can't be a positive figure,
9:44
Speaker 3: it's gonna hurt a lot of people. It's gonna hurt
9:45
Speaker 3: the golf that people clearly care about him and his
9:48
Speaker 3: role and his and and his impact on golf is huge.
9:51
Speaker 2: It's much like Jordan and basketball. People always want that.
9:54
Speaker 3: So he if he can be better for himself and
9:57
Speaker 3: the people around him, that can be. It can truly
10:00
Speaker 3: be a great story and an inspiring story for a
10:02
Speaker 3: lot of people. That's up to him now. I mean
10:05
Speaker 3: it can go one of two ways. Hopefully it goes
10:07
Speaker 3: the better way. We'll wait and see if that happens.
10:09
Speaker 3: But as a player, you're right through.
10:11
Speaker 1: Those days and he dominated his sport and his impact
10:14
Speaker 1: on the culture in general ginormous. It's been thirty years
10:18
Speaker 1: since he played at Brown Ear and said hello world,
10:21
Speaker 1: right yeah, and the back half of that the fifteen
10:25
Speaker 1: the last fifteen years were marked by his infidelity scandal,
10:29
Speaker 1: you know, Elon going nuts on his car and the
10:31
Speaker 1: first you know, crash out night that was fifteen years ago.
10:34
Speaker 1: Then he rose up and won that Masters a couple
10:36
Speaker 1: of years after that, and it was like, Okay, that
10:38
Speaker 1: was the comeback what we all made it. That was
10:40
Speaker 1: the dopamine hit we all needed. And since then it's
10:42
Speaker 1: just been kind of stumbling around. And I'm not saying
10:46
Speaker 1: he needs to go away, but for now and in general,
10:49
Speaker 1: he should be like what Palmer was, like, he's put
10:52
Speaker 1: your name on a tournament, show up, glad hand and
10:54
Speaker 1: this like basketing the globe being tiger. Yeah, and let
10:57
Speaker 1: us like remember how great you were, not trying to
11:00
Speaker 1: like create a new you know, trying to He's he's
11:04
Speaker 1: kind of realized he's been chasing it, trying to come back.
11:06
Speaker 1: He's like, dude, that window is closed. That part of
11:08
Speaker 1: your life is over. Got to be hard to realize
11:10
Speaker 1: that any player who has gone from the transition from
11:13
Speaker 1: being at the top of your game to be in
11:14
Speaker 1: just a regular schmuck like Ray Liota in the last
11:17
Speaker 1: shot of Goodfellas, He's a wise guy stuck in a
11:21
Speaker 1: you know, pre fest subdivision. You know, I'm just a s.
11:27
Speaker 3: I just I think he has a chance to make
11:29
Speaker 3: this his greatest comeback story. Though personally I hope he
11:33
Speaker 3: embraces it that way and it's tasted it with a competitive.
11:35
Speaker 5: Firee you do hope so and Drew the more likely scenario,
11:39
Speaker 5: at least the one that we see somebody chasing it.
11:41
Speaker 5: He's almost like somebody that was in town a couple
11:44
Speaker 5: of weeks ago or last week, Rick Flair, or like
11:47
Speaker 5: Rick Flair was the most famous guy that had ever
11:51
Speaker 5: stepped into the squared circle and transcended from just being
11:55
Speaker 5: on a championship wrestling show to like one of the
11:58
Speaker 5: coolest figures around. But there's a time when no longer
12:02
Speaker 5: you're that guy, but you're still chasing being able to
12:05
Speaker 5: be in that light. And it's got to be difficult
12:06
Speaker 5: when all of a sudden that light just turns off.
12:09
Speaker 5: But when a lot of it is self inflicted, people
12:11
Speaker 5: aren't going to have as much grace for you, and
12:13
Speaker 5: you don't want him to be a caricature. And the
12:17
Speaker 5: more and more that this has continued to roll through,
12:19
Speaker 5: it kind of tarnishes a lot more of what you see.
12:21
Speaker 2: I wonder if, like Lawrence Taylor would.
12:23
Speaker 5: Be an example of somebody who like now, he's obviously
12:28
Speaker 5: had a number of different situations, right, but people will
12:31
Speaker 5: still look and say, who's the best defensive player of
12:33
Speaker 5: all time? You don't get very far down the list
12:36
Speaker 5: before you say, Lawrence Taylor is up there.
12:38
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods will be that for golf.
12:40
Speaker 5: But you don't need to be the guy that everybody
12:42
Speaker 5: still talks about, and hopefully you associate players that are
12:46
Speaker 5: playing right now when you think of the sport, not
12:48
Speaker 5: just him in weird situations.
12:50
Speaker 1: It's like with Michael Jordan being an owner and stuff
12:53
Speaker 1: hasn't had a great run of success.
12:55
Speaker 2: He didn't have a great run of success, right, No, No,
12:57
Speaker 2: Charlotte was not nice to him.
12:59
Speaker 1: And Tiger doesn't have to give anything. He's given more
13:03
Speaker 1: than most could possibly dream of giving to the sport, right,
13:06
Speaker 1: And he doesn't have to I don't think he has
13:08
Speaker 1: anything else.
13:08
Speaker 2: There's nothing else to give or do.
13:11
Speaker 1: And he'll elevate just by getting to like a normalcy
13:15
Speaker 1: and being kind of like the ambassador of the game
13:17
Speaker 1: and like maybe maybe Charlie's dad and that role as
13:20
Speaker 1: Charlie's dad will give him, uh some gravitas, But he
13:24
Speaker 1: doesn't need to give anything else, like if he just
13:25
Speaker 1: went away like Lawrence Taylor, Like there's a good example
13:28
Speaker 1: of Jordan.
13:31
Speaker 2: Like Jordan's impact.
13:32
Speaker 1: Although they tried to put him on NBC broadcast to
13:34
Speaker 1: give us all the feels, didn't work. Yeah, exactly so.
13:39
Speaker 1: But but Tiger is like, and it's okay. That's the
13:41
Speaker 1: thing is like, it's okay, You're you're not gonna catch Jack,
13:44
Speaker 1: You're not gonna squeeze out four more majors. You're just
13:48
Speaker 1: you know, you can maybe dabble on the Champions Tour,
13:51
Speaker 1: but that won't be the same juice either. It's just well,
13:54
Speaker 1: and I don't think it's hard to everybody's got to
13:57
Speaker 1: wrap their brain around it that the Tiger era as
13:59
Speaker 1: we knew it as much as we wanted to play forever.
14:02
Speaker 3: And that's sometimes the hard thing with golf is there's
14:06
Speaker 3: more gray area to when you're playing. Days are truly
14:08
Speaker 3: over most other professional tour it's the game of a lifetime.
14:15
Speaker 3: People can play that game their whole life. So therefore,
14:18
Speaker 3: if Tiger can always play, you know, it's like, oh,
14:20
Speaker 3: what's he gonna do?
14:21
Speaker 4: Well?
14:21
Speaker 3: He shows greatness still, but the prime's over other sports.
14:24
Speaker 3: You don't have that like when you're done, you're done
14:26
Speaker 3: a lot of times. I mean there's no Champions Tour
14:29
Speaker 3: for a lot of sports. So golf teases you in
14:32
Speaker 3: that way, with that gray area, and that's sometimes the
14:34
Speaker 3: tough thing of just letting go.
14:36
Speaker 5: He's he's too good for many to think of it
14:38
Speaker 5: this way, but like you just want people to keep
14:41
Speaker 5: you in Jack Nicholas territory, not John Daily territory.
14:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
14:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the more weird and troubling situations you find
14:48
Speaker 5: yourself in, people will think if you drive around to
14:51
Speaker 5: the cart and on the Champion Store. Like my friend
14:54
Speaker 5: Eric is a huge golf fan, and he brought that
14:56
Speaker 5: up to me of him being on the Champions Store,
14:58
Speaker 5: and that will be like a great sign.
15:00
Speaker 4: I don't know.
15:00
Speaker 2: He's pretty fun on the TGL.
15:02
Speaker 5: The little bit that I actually watched of it, it
15:04
Speaker 5: seems he was having fun. He was cool, he was
15:07
Speaker 5: energetic and just never able to get away from from
15:11
Speaker 5: the demons that are are still right around the corner.
15:13
Speaker 5: And you said it, I think on Monday, Drew when
15:16
Speaker 5: we first talked about it, and he just said it
15:17
Speaker 5: there with Charlie's name, if he can be and and
15:21
Speaker 5: that's a lofty expectations to put on a young man.
15:24
Speaker 5: He's not going to be the same golfer that his
15:26
Speaker 5: dad was. But when you can hopefully reach some semblance
15:30
Speaker 5: of really good competitiveness, professional level, there will there might
15:36
Speaker 5: be that moment where we're all able to go full
15:38
Speaker 5: circle on it and say, hey, the Tiger's dad wasn't
15:40
Speaker 5: wasn't perfect.
15:41
Speaker 2: Right.
15:41
Speaker 5: There was a lot of conversation about that, and maybe
15:44
Speaker 5: he can be into that moment and that will be
15:46
Speaker 5: his last great act on a golf course of hugging
15:49
Speaker 5: Charlie after he wins a Masters instead of us hoping
15:52
Speaker 5: that he's gonna, I don't know, make the cut at
15:54
Speaker 5: plus four hundred here.
15:56
Speaker 1: And that should be your next act, right, just be
15:58
Speaker 1: Charlie's number one fan and the tournament ambassador and guru.
16:02
Speaker 5: Right they hit hit the first ceremonial shots. Yeah, that's
16:05
Speaker 5: what I mean.
16:06
Speaker 3: A statesman for the game what Jackson, jack and those
16:08
Speaker 3: guys are, and Tiger will never match up to them
16:11
Speaker 3: in terms of the personal side of it, in my opinion.
16:13
Speaker 2: A lot of a lot of people have that opinion.
16:15
Speaker 3: And that's I think his next goal, that's the next
16:18
Speaker 3: thing he has to attack like his next major is
16:21
Speaker 3: to try and tackle that that side of his life,
16:23
Speaker 3: the personal side, and to try and become the person
16:25
Speaker 3: a lot of people are doubting you can be.
16:27
Speaker 4: Now.
16:27
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot more to that.
16:28
Speaker 3: And obviously he's a dad and Charlie's a public figure,
16:32
Speaker 3: so he has to be hit there for him too,
16:33
Speaker 3: There's a lot of work he has to do and
16:35
Speaker 3: he has to attack it.
16:36
Speaker 2: Like he did any other golf match, I think the
16:38
Speaker 2: golf game. So all right, so we get a couple
16:41
Speaker 2: more hot takes him.
16:41
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I got a couple of really
16:43
Speaker 5: good ones. What about Ryan and Moschigo's take it take away? Okay, yeah,
16:46
Speaker 5: yeah it Ryan Uskeigo said hot take. The ABS system
16:49
Speaker 5: in baseball will expose the umpires to more scrutiny and
16:53
Speaker 5: will work its way down the ladder to college and
16:56
Speaker 5: youth umpires to the point where there will be no
16:58
Speaker 5: more people signing a volunt hearing to be umpires in
17:01
Speaker 5: three years now. I do think it's gonna make people
17:06
Speaker 5: more aggressive into their belief of they knowing the strike
17:10
Speaker 5: zone from the stands Drew, but there does need to
17:14
Speaker 5: be a checking yourself moment of There have been wild
17:16
Speaker 5: cards in the youth sports variety on umpires a long time.
17:19
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
17:20
Speaker 5: Exactly if I'm I'm completely dismissing his hot take there.
17:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that it's gonna completely well it
17:26
Speaker 2: up and.
17:29
Speaker 5: I mean no, well, and I don't think he's saying
17:31
Speaker 5: that they're gonna have a b I think it's just
17:32
Speaker 5: that people are gonna I thought he was saying that
17:36
Speaker 5: people are gonna turn themselves off of it.
17:38
Speaker 1: But okay, well, what my thought was of taking it already,
17:41
Speaker 1: it's already a thing that people don't want to sign
17:43
Speaker 1: up for.
17:44
Speaker 5: That's what I was gonna say. I don't know that
17:45
Speaker 5: there were a ton of girls signing up to do
17:47
Speaker 5: it anyway.
17:47
Speaker 3: I don't think people are not gonna do it though,
17:49
Speaker 3: because they're afraid of being I think his point is
17:52
Speaker 3: that people are gonna be afraid of being held accountable
17:54
Speaker 3: or afraid of being correct.
17:55
Speaker 5: I think there's there's bad there's angry and upset, bad
17:58
Speaker 5: fans and parents and that, like in all the youth
18:01
Speaker 5: sports said regardless, there there was that when I was
18:03
Speaker 5: playing it.
18:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're afraid of scrutiny, you're not being an
18:06
Speaker 3: official anyway, So I don't think this is necessarily to
18:08
Speaker 3: deter people. I do think though, the conduct of people
18:13
Speaker 3: toward officials at that youth level is the main problem.
18:16
Speaker 3: So if this exacerbates like the fangs out of fans
18:20
Speaker 3: for officials, then maybe there's something there. I think people
18:23
Speaker 3: are gonna want to officiate because they love the game
18:25
Speaker 3: at that level more, because that's what you're doing it for.
18:27
Speaker 3: You You've done it, Billy. You're not doing it for
18:28
Speaker 3: the money. It's not like tremendous money. It's some money.
18:31
Speaker 3: You're doing it because you love being around sports and
18:33
Speaker 3: you want to want to get back.
18:34
Speaker 2: So hopefully people still still want to do that. You know,
18:37
Speaker 2: you go, who's our Current Electric superhero?
18:41
Speaker 4: To day?
18:41
Speaker 2: Billy Current Electric.
18:43
Speaker 1: I've you know, ever since I sent you that picture
18:45
Speaker 1: of their van that I saw with the superhero s.
18:48
Speaker 1: It's like, I see them everywhere. Now they're following me around.
18:51
Speaker 1: I saw one as I'm walking the dog and I'm like,
18:53
Speaker 1: I sent a picture of Billy. Look Current Electrics everywhere.
18:55
Speaker 1: They're in my neighborhood today helping people. And then I'm like,
18:58
Speaker 1: now everywhere I turn around, they're everywhere and listen.
19:00
Speaker 5: They they're popping up around every single corner. Because when
19:03
Speaker 5: you got a deal like they have right now to
19:05
Speaker 5: give you some peace of mind going into the summer,
19:06
Speaker 5: making sure your home is as safe as possible, twenty
19:10
Speaker 5: six dollars and ninety nine cents.
19:11
Speaker 2: Twenty six dollars ninety nine cents.
19:13
Speaker 5: That is the price for the superheroes that Current Electric
19:15
Speaker 5: to come out and do a safety inspection on your
19:18
Speaker 5: home and give you some of that peace of mind.
19:19
Speaker 5: So that's why, Drew, you're seeing them all over the place.
19:21
Speaker 5: There a lot of people going to call Current dot Com.
19:23
Speaker 5: Call Current dot Com twenty six ninety nine. You're not
19:25
Speaker 5: gonna beat that for a safety inspection on your home.
19:28
Speaker 5: As we're getting ready to roll into uh the summer
19:31
Speaker 5: months now, I'm struggling to pull up the super to
19:35
Speaker 5: find the full superhero. I would like to say that
19:38
Speaker 5: it would be the individual that's getting Tiger Woods.
19:41
Speaker 2: To actually commit to a rehab brood.
19:45
Speaker 5: I don't want to I don't want to say that,
19:47
Speaker 5: But whoever ultimately gets him to make the decision and
19:49
Speaker 5: gets him there, that might be the ultimate superhero of
19:52
Speaker 5: the day.
19:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think sometimes superheroes are in places. I got one,
19:55
Speaker 3: Billy if you want places you don't expect, and that
19:59
Speaker 3: one yesterday is in the community notes section of X
20:04
Speaker 3: of Twitter. Now I like the community notes readers adding context.
20:07
Speaker 3: One of my favorites, John Rostein it is still college
20:09
Speaker 3: basketball season. We still have a great Final Four come
20:11
Speaker 3: up this weekend. He did have the the tweet after
20:16
Speaker 3: the Yukon shot against Duke for the first time in
20:19
Speaker 3: forty two and a half years.
20:20
Speaker 2: I am speechless and.
20:21
Speaker 3: The true superheroes of the day by Colonel Electric are
20:25
Speaker 3: the people that put together the community notes adding readers
20:29
Speaker 3: added context of all the other times in his past
20:32
Speaker 3: he's been rendered speechless, and it was like nine times,
20:35
Speaker 3: and they pulled up every tweet in the last fifteen
20:38
Speaker 3: years where he said I'm no speechless. So thank you
20:42
Speaker 3: to the readers adding context part of the community notes
20:45
Speaker 3: that have done their due diligence and just a reminder
20:48
Speaker 3: that it is still an app that is free and
20:50
Speaker 3: people are still doing their due diligence and their heroes
20:54
Speaker 3: work to find the funny area.
20:55
Speaker 2: Notes also known as get a hobby.
20:57
Speaker 3: Get a hobby, and sometimes those are the hero because
21:00
Speaker 3: clearly they don't.
21:01
Speaker 5: There's holding the receipts and throwing those out at him.
21:06
Speaker 3: Actually been less speechless multiple times in the past, so
21:09
Speaker 3: this isn't.
21:09
Speaker 2: The first time in how many years?
21:11
Speaker 1: But how many tweets has John Rosstein put into the
21:13
Speaker 1: Twitter verse?
21:14
Speaker 4: Oh?
21:14
Speaker 1: Nosymore because I'm not getting paid.
21:18
Speaker 3: So maybe a real hero of the day for Colonel
21:20
Speaker 3: Electric is the Evan search function.
21:22
Speaker 2: Dude, that's hilarious. That's a good one, Rostein.
21:24
Speaker 5: I also I thought you were going to roll with
21:26
Speaker 5: the video of him and Wally Serbiak watching the Yukon shot.
21:29
Speaker 5: That's a good one too, And that would also fly
21:31
Speaker 5: in the face of him being speechless, because my man
21:34
Speaker 5: was not speechless. He didn't shut up. He literally called
21:36
Speaker 5: the play while it was happening. It was hilarious. Like
21:39
Speaker 5: all of us that are at our couch.
21:40
Speaker 2: He loves he loves basketball, there's no question about that.
21:43
Speaker 3: And maybe a little bit of a honorable mention of
21:47
Speaker 3: a hero of the day for whoever's idea was first
21:50
Speaker 3: to put a camera on raft And and grand Hill
21:53
Speaker 3: so we'd get Bill announce cam is the best obviously,
21:57
Speaker 3: Kevin Harlan, the Furmingale that stuff, that's the best one.
22:00
Speaker 2: So it is just pretty cool to see it.
22:02
Speaker 3: And now, I mean everybody in their mother that broadcast
22:04
Speaker 3: uses announcer cam now, so yeah, I.
22:06
Speaker 5: Almost just got God, guys, I almost just got got
22:09
Speaker 5: what happened on an April Fool's Day, Joe, I almost
22:12
Speaker 5: just got got.
22:13
Speaker 2: You gotta have your guard up today, Billy, come.
22:15
Speaker 5: On, breaking the packers are signing Aaron Rodgers or one
22:19
Speaker 5: You're eleven million dollars.
22:20
Speaker 2: Oh man, I almost got got.
22:22
Speaker 5: So bad that's not even realistic though. Come on, buddy
22:25
Speaker 5: wants he wants to retire as a packer. Wouldn't that
22:28
Speaker 5: have been awesome.
22:29
Speaker 2: And awesome if he was our back I'm a backup yet?
22:31
Speaker 3: Really?
22:32
Speaker 5: Actually, no, Aaron Rodgers is a backup than Kirk Cousins yeatnam.
22:36
Speaker 2: It means what they were talking about at the owners
22:38
Speaker 2: meeting yesterday, and now I'm being talked into the idea.
22:40
Speaker 1: Either way, we mentioned yesterday that the only place to
22:43
Speaker 1: go for fun on April Fools and knowing that you're getting,
22:46
Speaker 1: you know, your leg pulled. Yes, I'm milwaukee dot com.
22:49
Speaker 1: The lead story At'm milwaukee dot com. Yana shows commitment
22:52
Speaker 1: to Milwaukee by joining Tuesday Night Bowling League.
22:55
Speaker 2: You know what, he might do it too. That's the
22:57
Speaker 2: that's true. The strangely, you gotta.
22:59
Speaker 1: Get some pictures with he and his brothers, the Nassas
23:01
Speaker 1: and Alex he's joining.
23:03
Speaker 2: Would definitely do it. Oh my god, are you kidding me?
23:05
Speaker 2: That'd be electric.
23:06
Speaker 5: What do you think would figure out the oil patterns first?
23:09
Speaker 5: That's pretty good. I think the NASAs would be pretty
23:11
Speaker 5: dialed in. Yeah, Janas has the competitiveness of it though,
23:14
Speaker 5: but with all those the long arm that tanasas a
23:17
Speaker 5: little bit more compact, I think he's probably striking that
23:19
Speaker 5: son of a gun.
23:20
Speaker 1: The ant Koombrose have started a team with a couple
23:22
Speaker 1: of regulars at Highland Lanes on Blit Street in Washington Heights.
23:26
Speaker 1: Jannis has also already booked four birthday parties at the lanes,
23:28
Speaker 1: one for each of his children.
23:30
Speaker 3: I love Island Lanes, Ulie, the neighborhood bowling alleys and
23:36
Speaker 3: not only really exists anymore, oh Man.
23:39
Speaker 2: The south Side.
23:40
Speaker 1: On the first night of league play last week, it
23:42
Speaker 1: was clear the brothers would require a little time to
23:43
Speaker 1: get comfortable with the new sport. First off, they found
23:45
Speaker 1: the head to order their own special shoes because Highland
23:48
Speaker 1: Lanes didn't have any size seventeen enough.
23:52
Speaker 2: Why don't we come back?
23:53
Speaker 4: L Hafe.
23:54
Speaker 1: John Greenberg, president of the Milwaukee Admiral's Friend of the Program,
23:56
Speaker 1: will join us. I want to hear if Philly and
23:58
Speaker 1: Armon behave themselves at the Admirals gathering at the Brewers
24:00
Speaker 1: game Monday night at am Fanfield. Also want to know
24:03
Speaker 1: what it's like as they continued their playoff push. L
24:06
Speaker 1: Hefe is next, it's the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
24:14
Speaker 2: To hear that.
24:15
Speaker 1: Song because it means well. Time to chat with l
24:18
Speaker 1: FA himself. President of Milwaukee Ameral's Friend of the Program,
24:20
Speaker 1: John Greenberg joined us at Greeney. Before we dive into hockey,
24:23
Speaker 1: I got to get the scouting report of how the
24:25
Speaker 1: Admirals Night and am fam Field went on Monday and
24:28
Speaker 1: did Billy, Armon and by extension, everybody else that was
24:31
Speaker 1: there as your guests behave.
24:32
Speaker 2: Themselves minderately, it was a night to love lose. You
24:39
Speaker 2: played three games.
24:40
Speaker 1: It's three nights you've had, you know, towards the end
24:43
Speaker 1: of the long season, a little respite before the playoff push.
24:47
Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely, And they had players a practice the next
24:51
Speaker 4: morning and our guys are front off the stuff and
24:54
Speaker 4: I give them the morning off, but they all answered
24:57
Speaker 4: the belly yesterday afternoon, so all, well that ends.
25:00
Speaker 5: Well, that's the important one, right the boy the boys
25:03
Speaker 5: get out have a good time, and it's it's unique,
25:06
Speaker 5: Greeny And I'm probably a bigger proponent of team than
25:11
Speaker 5: most because I just I love the camaraderie that sports brings,
25:14
Speaker 5: and we lose that in a lot of things. But
25:16
Speaker 5: for a group that has gone through a ton together, right,
25:19
Speaker 5: six seven months together, there's a there's a playoff push here,
25:23
Speaker 5: and hopefully that extends for a couple more months, and
25:25
Speaker 5: you're able to enjoy each other and get to go
25:28
Speaker 5: to practice the next day in another game.
25:30
Speaker 2: But there's a finality.
25:32
Speaker 5: Of sports that it's cool towards the end of the
25:34
Speaker 5: year to have a moment like that, right where all
25:36
Speaker 5: the guys are able to go and enjoy themselves, knowing
25:39
Speaker 5: that this group will only be together for you usually
25:42
Speaker 5: this season.
25:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is very true. And I also think it's
25:46
Speaker 4: really important that our front office staff and our players
25:49
Speaker 4: get to hang out together. You know, usually the other
25:52
Speaker 4: players are kind of doing their thing, they'll generally come
25:55
Speaker 4: in our offices at all once in a while. Our
25:58
Speaker 4: staff doesn't spend any time, you know, in the locker
26:01
Speaker 4: room obviously, so to be able to get them a
26:03
Speaker 4: chance to interact together and hang out together. It is
26:07
Speaker 4: a lot of fun. And you know, it was supposed
26:10
Speaker 4: to be a team effort to both inside the room
26:13
Speaker 4: and in our office, so to be able to do
26:15
Speaker 4: things together. And I know that our coaches know how
26:17
Speaker 4: important it is that our front office staff and our
26:20
Speaker 4: players get to be together. So it was a really
26:22
Speaker 4: nice night.
26:23
Speaker 3: And you can tell it's a true family you guys
26:26
Speaker 3: have down there. Billion I see it firsthand. It's it's
26:28
Speaker 3: a great The Admirals family is a true family, and
26:32
Speaker 3: you can tell how they work together by how much
26:34
Speaker 3: they enjoy spending down together. So that's a credit to
26:36
Speaker 3: you and the whole organization. And I have to say
26:40
Speaker 3: it was also a good reminder that you know, Jordan
26:44
Speaker 3: olsterly threw the first pitch out Milwaukee Admirals defenseman and
26:47
Speaker 3: he threw an absolute perfect diars right two player. Yeah,
26:50
Speaker 3: player of the week in the EHL. Good reminder how
26:52
Speaker 3: great athletes these guys are too.
26:54
Speaker 4: John, Yes, it was you know, when we found out
26:59
Speaker 4: it was going to be him doing it. I immediately
27:01
Speaker 4: told him, I said, you might want to practice a little,
27:03
Speaker 4: you know. We gave him a few days in advance
27:05
Speaker 4: that I said, and just so you know, you don't
27:07
Speaker 4: have to go all the way to the top of
27:08
Speaker 4: the mountain, but if you don't, your teammates are going
27:10
Speaker 4: to ridicule you like you couldn't believe. So there were
27:13
Speaker 4: a lot of players that came down to the to
27:16
Speaker 4: the field level and we're chanting for him and everything else.
27:19
Speaker 4: So he felt the pressure for sure, a different kind
27:22
Speaker 4: of pressure than you field us so during a game.
27:24
Speaker 4: But he did a good job. And then Nicole bergandal
27:28
Speaker 4: of our staff, we were gifted two spots to throw
27:31
Speaker 4: out first pitches the other night, and we were able
27:35
Speaker 4: to pick a hard working part of our team. Everybody
27:38
Speaker 4: could enter the drawing if they really wanted to do it.
27:41
Speaker 4: So she threw her name in there and we picked Harrister,
27:46
Speaker 4: our owner was there and picked out the winner. And
27:49
Speaker 4: it was Nicole who immediately said, I've never held a
27:51
Speaker 4: baseball before. So and she spent spent a good five
27:57
Speaker 4: days practicing and we thought out she was a left
28:00
Speaker 4: so that was that was good and from right at
28:03
Speaker 4: the front of the front of the mound and she
28:05
Speaker 4: got it there too. Nope, bouncing right out of target.
28:08
Speaker 4: So I guess we got some athletes in our office too.
28:11
Speaker 1: That is talking with John Greenberg, president of Milwaukee Admirals.
28:14
Speaker 1: Playoff pushes on the Admirals are in the last panel
28:17
Speaker 1: of that pocket schedule, Like we were down to one
28:20
Speaker 1: one April road trip this weekend starting it's the traditional
28:25
Speaker 1: road trip that people go on vacations to Cleveland and Winnipeg.
28:32
Speaker 4: Yes, the uh, it's gonna be a real treat for
28:34
Speaker 4: the guys. Uh, it's we're excited to get to Cleveland.
28:38
Speaker 4: They do a great job there. They actually lead the
28:40
Speaker 4: league in attendance, so so its a good atmosphere in Cleveland,
28:43
Speaker 4: and then important games there. You know, Cleveland's in a
28:46
Speaker 4: playoff spot in their division where we're certainly trying to
28:49
Speaker 4: you know, improve our position. You know, if the season
28:51
Speaker 4: ends to day, we'd be in the playoffs, but we
28:53
Speaker 4: wouldn't object to moving all the way up to the
28:55
Speaker 4: third place. So these games are important this weekend. And
28:59
Speaker 4: then off to Winnipeg, where it feels like we just
29:03
Speaker 4: were because we were just there, and play a couple
29:06
Speaker 4: there before finally getting back home here.
29:08
Speaker 5: Well and Greene, when you talk about trying to get
29:11
Speaker 5: into a different playoff position, right like if the season
29:14
Speaker 5: end of the day be in the five spot, but
29:16
Speaker 5: the opportunity to host a couple of games. Then also
29:20
Speaker 5: you mentioned the three that would solidify you right into
29:23
Speaker 5: the five game playoffs. So it's almost it's like a
29:26
Speaker 5: play into spot as to how much you're gonna get.
29:29
Speaker 2: But being able to have home games.
29:32
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously it feels like a redundant, easy thing,
29:35
Speaker 5: but that's a very very vital and important piece of this,
29:38
Speaker 5: isn't it.
29:40
Speaker 4: It is we want to be able to play games,
29:42
Speaker 4: playoff games in front of our own fans, in our
29:44
Speaker 4: own environment, and it's going to take getting ourselves to
29:47
Speaker 4: third or fourth place to be able to do that.
29:49
Speaker 4: If we finish in fifth, we're going to have to
29:51
Speaker 4: go either to Winnipeg or to Texas to play that
29:56
Speaker 4: entire three game series because of the distance between the teams.
29:59
Speaker 4: So being able to play at home is important and
30:03
Speaker 4: the guys recognize that, and that's why you know these games.
30:07
Speaker 4: You can't just look ahead to the games in Winnipeg
30:08
Speaker 4: and think those are the ones we have to win.
30:10
Speaker 4: We have to take care of business in Cleveland as well,
30:13
Speaker 4: So it's you know, points are critical at this point.
30:17
Speaker 4: You just want to keep going. Our guys have played
30:20
Speaker 4: well over the last three weeks, and we want to
30:23
Speaker 4: just keep that going.
30:24
Speaker 1: But the games against the Moose, that's head to head,
30:26
Speaker 1: that those are doubly They're all important, but those are
30:29
Speaker 1: doubly important. That that little trip to the Manitoba is
30:34
Speaker 1: gonna is gonna tell us some things. But Greedy, it's
30:36
Speaker 1: like you've gone into the playoffs as like Division champs
30:40
Speaker 1: with the head of steam. It almost seems like, I
30:43
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe I'm just being a cock eyed optimist,
30:45
Speaker 1: but it's like coming in this way and trying to
30:47
Speaker 1: have the battle and scrap and then catching fire and left.
30:50
Speaker 1: That's the way you haven't really explored in a while,
30:52
Speaker 1: and it could work. It could get you into the
30:54
Speaker 1: Calder Cup.
30:55
Speaker 2: Picture.
30:57
Speaker 4: No, you want to be playing well. You know, it's
31:00
Speaker 4: creating that momentum going into the playoffs is critical. And
31:03
Speaker 4: I was actually talking to Joseph Jordan Oilst early about
31:06
Speaker 4: that and he said, it's like we've been playing playoff
31:10
Speaker 4: games for the last three weeks because we weren't in
31:12
Speaker 4: a good place back then, And I think guys are
31:16
Speaker 4: learning how to win, doing what it takes to win,
31:19
Speaker 4: and guys are starting to sacrifice, you know, out on
31:22
Speaker 4: the ice a little bit more. You know, those shot blocks.
31:25
Speaker 4: You notice it doing. Guys, you know, you know a
31:29
Speaker 4: game that maybe you're up four to one, are still
31:31
Speaker 4: blocking shots and making it easier for your goalie and
31:36
Speaker 4: giving it up for each other is really important. So
31:38
Speaker 4: you're gonna see playoff hockey out of our group all
31:41
Speaker 4: the way through for.
31:42
Speaker 2: As long as this goes, John, I'm curious about something.
31:46
Speaker 2: You know, this the Frozen Fours happening now.
31:48
Speaker 3: The Badgers are back in for the first time in
31:50
Speaker 3: a long time, and a lot of the players in
31:51
Speaker 3: the Admirals. I think fans forget are still pretty young guys. Obviously,
31:55
Speaker 3: they might know a lot of guys that are playing
31:57
Speaker 3: college hockey or involved with a lot of guys that
31:59
Speaker 3: you know, everyone crosses pass. Are they locked in a
32:02
Speaker 3: lot to the to the Frozen four at all?
32:03
Speaker 2: What they're doing? Are they?
32:04
Speaker 3: Is it just so much tubelevision for their season or
32:07
Speaker 3: do you hear some chatter about what's going on in Madison?
32:11
Speaker 4: No, for sure, you definitely know what's going on to
32:14
Speaker 4: college level. So many of our guys have played, you know,
32:16
Speaker 4: at the college level, and coaches have played at the
32:19
Speaker 4: college level. Matt Donovan, our assistant coach, played at Denver
32:23
Speaker 4: and so he's you know, he's certainly gonna be chirping. Uh,
32:28
Speaker 4: anybody who from the Badgers or North Dakota. You know,
32:32
Speaker 4: it's just uh, it's just kind of part of the
32:34
Speaker 4: fun of it as well. So uh you know, yeah,
32:37
Speaker 4: we also this is the time of the year where
32:38
Speaker 4: we start to get some guys that their teams were
32:41
Speaker 4: eliminated for the college playoffs. So we just signed Aiden
32:45
Speaker 4: Fink yesterday, who came from Penn State, and uh, he's
32:49
Speaker 4: had a great college career. He was a Hoby Baker
32:51
Speaker 4: finalist last year. So uh, you know, he's gonna be
32:54
Speaker 4: a nice addition to see what he's capable of doing
32:57
Speaker 4: over the next few days and or a few weeks.
32:59
Speaker 4: And it's that time of year.
33:01
Speaker 5: Well, let coach know, the the pioneers we need to
33:04
Speaker 5: be talking about and worrying about are the Carroll Pioneers,
33:06
Speaker 5: not the Denver Pioneers.
33:08
Speaker 2: I love it. I come on, coach, love it, love it.
33:10
Speaker 2: Love it.

33:40
Speaker 5: Ads have had so much success as of late in
33:42
Speaker 5: the last number of years where they've been the division
33:45
Speaker 5: title holder, they've had first place and then holl mice advantage.
33:49
Speaker 5: This being able to play playoff games leading into it.
33:52
Speaker 5: We see it in a lot of sports where you
33:53
Speaker 5: generate the momentum towards the end and you know that
33:56
Speaker 5: your backs are against the wall, you mean a little
33:58
Speaker 5: bit more dangerous of a unit.
33:59
Speaker 2: It was.
33:59
Speaker 1: It was looking a little sketchy there and then they
34:01

36:07
Speaker 7: He just said, Hey, what they're calling is that he

38:56
Speaker 5: Well, listen, I think the wake and Bank story of
38:59
Speaker 5: the day was going to be, uh just watching Cbe
39:02
Speaker 5: Buckner playing and trying to figure out how the strike
39:05
Speaker 5: zone was gonna roll today. But actually, uh, the waken
39:08
Speaker 5: By story that I got was not actually through that process.
39:11
Speaker 2: But uh, did you.
39:12
Speaker 5: Guys familiar with the Baby the rapper?
39:17
Speaker 2: Only that only that he's a rapper?
39:19
Speaker 5: Well, I was unfamiliar with his game on trash talking
39:23
Speaker 5: fans that roll into Hornets games.
39:26
Speaker 2: Again, First off, Hornets fans being able.
39:29
Speaker 5: To trash talk different level of excitement, right, they have
39:32
Speaker 5: not had anything to talk trash about.
39:34
Speaker 3: Uh.
39:35
Speaker 5: The Baby was sitting courtside for the Knicks and Hornets
39:38
Speaker 5: game and Drew my man was having the best time
39:42
Speaker 5: with like fifteen different Knicks fans behind him. Now, sadly,
39:45
Speaker 5: I can't play any the audio. No, that's not don't
39:47
Speaker 5: play any of the audio. He was legit like people
39:51
Speaker 5: were handing him their belts to take to the Jalen
39:55
Speaker 5: Brunson jersey over the weekend. As he's just standing up
39:58
Speaker 5: during the entire game getting dabbed up by Brandon Miller
40:01
Speaker 5: after he makes a layup. He did not sit down
40:04
Speaker 5: or shut up the entire game, and it was fuel
40:07
Speaker 5: to the fire.
40:07
Speaker 2: I love any Knicks.
40:08
Speaker 5: Fan getting trash talk right right because all we have
40:11
Speaker 5: to do is watch ESPN and Knicks fans trash talk
40:13
Speaker 5: every other fan base.
40:14
Speaker 2: In the league.
40:15
Speaker 5: So to see him go absolutely haywire on these guys
40:19
Speaker 5: and not give in, then I realized that I think
40:21
Speaker 5: it was thirteen to six when he first started the BTA.
40:24
Speaker 2: Love it good, aggressive, love it Happy.
