- 1:00Speaker 3: Drew Olsen, Bill Schmidt, Armin Sarian. Three Musketeer in it
- 1:05Speaker 3: through our Monday in the Goodland. Victory Monday. Victory Chicken Monday.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Brewers are going to the World Series this week, boys.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Packers beat the Cowboys. Packers are 4-2 heading into a
- 1:14Speaker 3: matchup Sunday at Ford Field. Badgers, not so great at
- 1:20Speaker 3: the Rose Bowl on Saturday.
- 1:22Speaker 2: But, big helmet game coming in this weekend in front
- 1:25Speaker 2: of You know, a crowd. I'm going to say, Drew,
- 1:31Speaker 2: that's going to be an interesting... I'm very excited to
- 1:34Speaker 2: be in the building on Saturday night for Camp Randall
- 1:37Speaker 2: when USC comes to the camp because I anticipate it
- 1:41Speaker 2: is going to be one that is somewhat distracted, some
- 1:44Speaker 2: that is finding any way to really test that... Badger
- 1:49Speaker 2: football wifi that they have pumping through the stands because
- 1:52Speaker 2: there's going to be a lot of people trying to
- 1:54Speaker 2: watch two games there. Yeah. Understandably.
- 1:56Speaker 5: So it's one of those things where, you know, sometimes
- 1:59Speaker 5: you have tickets, you don't know what's going to happen.
- 2:01Speaker 5: And then you end up going to that game, sort
- 2:02Speaker 5: of like we did with our Bucks bowls situation, but Hey,
- 2:06Speaker 5: you know, there are a lot of kids at UW
- 2:08Speaker 5: that aren't out there from out of state.
- 2:10Speaker 2: So maybe they'll, there'll be a good contingent there. We'll see.
- 2:12Speaker 5: It's really not as much of a baseball fan, but
- 2:14Speaker 5: you're right, Billy, it will get tested.
- 2:16Speaker 2: I'm not talking about the students.
- 2:18Speaker 3: No.
- 2:18Speaker 2: No, I get that. I'm talking about the real pain customers.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Those that are all wondering, man, I wonder how many
- 2:26Speaker 2: TVs they have in that super special sweet south end zone.
- 2:29Speaker 2: Those people are going to be living the dream coming
- 2:31Speaker 2: up this weekend, Drew, because who knows? It might be
- 2:33Speaker 2: a beautiful one there.
- 2:34Speaker 5: Where's the biggest game you've ever watched that wasn't in
- 2:36Speaker 5: that arena? If that makes any sense. Like I watched
- 2:39Speaker 5: game six of the 18 NLCS at Pfizer for opening
- 2:42Speaker 5: night there.
- 2:43Speaker 2: We were all watching the concourse, the Brewers game.
- 2:46Speaker 5: I was working a Brewers game in 01 when the
- 2:49Speaker 5: Bucks and the Sixers had that game six in the
- 2:52Speaker 5: Eastern Conference Finals when Ray Allen went crazy. All-time game. So,
- 2:57Speaker 5: you know, sometimes it's like that. You don't think about
- 2:59Speaker 5: all the games that you've been at where there's been
- 3:01Speaker 5: another one people were huddling around TVs for.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Does that count with weddings and stuff, too?
- 3:07Speaker 1: Well, maybe.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Of course.
- 3:09Speaker 2: I dealt with that this weekend. Yeah, I was going
- 3:11Speaker 2: to say, Drew, where Armin's describing it would be me
- 3:14Speaker 2: as the pear-shaped youth at my sister's grade school, middle
- 3:17Speaker 2: school basketball games on Sundays. Because they always put these
- 3:20Speaker 2: stupid games right at 1 o'clock. on sunday and as
- 3:27Speaker 2: the 11 year old that's all i care about as
- 3:29Speaker 2: well let me go find the concession stand all right
- 3:31Speaker 2: fatty we know you want to go get some peanut
- 3:33Speaker 2: m & ms all right we get it no it's
- 3:36Speaker 2: the only place that has a damn tv.
- 3:37Speaker 3: I'm sorry gotta watch but.
- 3:39Speaker 2: While i'm here they're making me buy another hot dog
- 3:42Speaker 2: so i might as well sure.
- 3:45Speaker 3: All right, 877-794-1973 to the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Get us your game balls and kicks. We're going to
- 3:50Speaker 3: sprint through those. We might have to carry that over
- 3:52Speaker 3: until tomorrow because we also have to do who's hot,
- 3:53Speaker 3: who's not.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Why not?
- 3:54Speaker 3: Brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen Heating and Cooling and
- 3:57Speaker 3: your HVAC experts, Donovan Jorgensen. Boy, there's a lot of
- 4:01Speaker 3: candidates on both sides of this, but I guess we
- 4:04Speaker 3: can start with who's not. Kevin Porter Jr. waved by
- 4:06Speaker 3: the Milwaukee Bucks today.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Out just moments ago as the deadline comes up on
- 4:11Speaker 2: training camp rosters finalizing it. He is waved by the
- 4:14Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks. Kind of a chorus of moves around the NBA.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Brandon Miller hot, though, on the other side. Former number
- 4:23Speaker 2: two overall pick with the Charlotte Hornets. Just got a
- 4:25Speaker 2: five-year $ 209 million contract as Sham Sharania points it together. Yeah,
- 4:32Speaker 2: it's not bad. I do believe he's going to be
- 4:34Speaker 2: able to feed his family on that one. But the
- 4:37Speaker 2: Kevin Porter Jr. one is interesting, Drew, because the numbers
- 4:41Speaker 2: on a box score would say that he can fill
- 4:44Speaker 2: it up a little bit. And there's many people. I
- 4:48Speaker 2: know folks that maybe watched the preseason a little bit
- 4:51Speaker 2: more intently than everybody else, that were very excited and
- 4:55Speaker 2: are very excited about Braden Burries. We were over at
- 4:57Speaker 2: Media Day, and who was the first player they brought up?
- 5:01Speaker 2: Ryan Rollins. Ryan Rollins. Maybe that's where more of, like
- 5:07Speaker 2: we watched the Packers do this offseason, clearing the deck
- 5:10Speaker 2: for some of your young guys. They got a bunch
- 5:12Speaker 2: of young guys and a bunch of young guards. They
- 5:15Speaker 2: might as well see if they can play. Also, not hot.
- 5:19Speaker 2: A ruptured hamstring sounds bad. Yeah, when you rupture anything.
- 5:23Speaker 2: A ruptured hamstring sounds rough. That's what Sean McVay just said.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Devontae Adams suffered at the end of their 18-16 loss
- 5:32Speaker 2: against the Arizona Cardinals yesterday. Devontae ruled out for six
- 5:37Speaker 2: to ten weeks. That would mean that the Packers will
- 5:41Speaker 2: not see Devontae on Thanksgiving Eve.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Michael Parsons might play in that game and Devontae won't.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Plot thickens. Since the beginning of last year, I think
- 5:48Speaker 3: Devontae leads the NFL in touchdown catches.
- 5:50Speaker 5: He was having such a great start to the year. Yeah,
- 5:52Speaker 5: that stinks to see for a former Packer great. He
- 5:55Speaker 5: had that monster's hit.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Was that on Monday night where he just went crazy
- 5:59Speaker 2: for 16 grabs or whatever?
- 6:00Speaker 5: He was looking young and spry and everything.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Kevin Porter Jr., an older player, waved. The Memphis Grizzlies
- 6:06Speaker 3: are waving No. 18 pick Walter Clayton Jr.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Whoa.
- 6:09Speaker 3: And Micah Peavy.
- 6:10Speaker 2: They're waving. Okay.
- 6:11Speaker 3: And Dalton connect, who was a 17th overall pick in
- 6:15Speaker 3: 2024 of the Lakers has been waived.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Yeah. They've hated that guy from, from all indications. It
- 6:20Speaker 2: seems like every deadline they've tried to trade him and
- 6:23Speaker 2: everybody around the NBA is like, no, we'll pass, but brother,
- 6:25Speaker 2: we know you don't like him. So we know that
- 6:27Speaker 2: you're going to cut him at some particular point. The
- 6:29Speaker 2: Walter Clayton jr. One drew is a great example of
- 6:33Speaker 2: how different college basketball and the NBA are. You watch
- 6:37Speaker 2: that final four run in the championship run for Florida.
- 6:40Speaker 3: Yeah, sure.
- 6:41Speaker 5: This is the best player I've ever seen. Best I've ever,
- 6:43Speaker 5: best on the floor. Best you've seen takes over games.
- 6:46Speaker 5: Find his way onto an NBA.
- 6:47Speaker 2: It is different.
- 6:48Speaker 5: It is hard to believe. Like, I watch a lot
- 6:52Speaker 5: of Kyle's basketball, Billy. There are players like that where
- 6:54Speaker 5: you see them on the floor and you're like, wow.
- 6:56Speaker 5: No matter what people say, this guy is going to
- 6:57Speaker 5: be one. Who was the guy in Seton Hall? Miles
- 7:01Speaker 5: Powell or Miles? He was just dominating the Big East,
- 7:04Speaker 5: and I'm like, yeah, he'll be good.
- 7:06Speaker 2: He's not. You never know.
- 7:07Speaker 5: Then you get a guy like Osa Godaro, former Marquette player,
- 7:10Speaker 5: good player.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Who's hot.
- 7:11Speaker 5: You never thought to yourself, oh, he's going to dominate.
- 7:15Speaker 5: He just got a three-year extension today with the Suns,
- 7:17Speaker 5: $ 29 million.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Who knows? Another guy that I thought was too small
- 7:21Speaker 2: to play in the NBA that definitely wasn't going to happen.
- 7:23Speaker 2: This guy named Jalen Brunson. And then all of a
- 7:26Speaker 2: sudden people like, yeah, well, I guess we'll give him
- 7:28Speaker 2: a shot in the second round. Now all of a
- 7:31Speaker 2: sudden he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. You want
- 7:33Speaker 2: to talk about a not hot debut, Drew? How about
- 7:36Speaker 2: the one Blake Groupie had for the LA Rams yesterday?
- 7:40Speaker 2: First kickoff, my man goes, tries to make a tackle.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Looks like he gets cut in half. I mean, the
- 7:49Speaker 3: guy weighs like 145 pounds. What's he doing? When you
- 7:54Speaker 3: see that contact, now maybe I'm wrong, name the injury.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Torn ACL was not what I saw.
- 7:59Speaker 1: No.
- 8:00Speaker 2: I saw head injury. I saw broken collarbone. I saw
- 8:05Speaker 2: separated shoulder. No, blew out his ACL. He's done for
- 8:07Speaker 2: the year.
- 8:08Speaker 3: Done for the year. Who's not hot? Chris Ballard?
- 8:14Speaker 2: Yeah, Chris Ballard would not be former Badger. Former Badger
- 8:17Speaker 2: wide receiver, right? Mm-hmm. And he is relieved of his
- 8:21Speaker 2: duties as the general manager for the Indianapolis Colts. Now,
- 8:25Speaker 2: one of the first things that happens when he gets
- 8:27Speaker 2: the job, Drew, two weeks before the start of the season,
- 8:31Speaker 2: Andrew Luck retires. And they have not been able to
- 8:35Speaker 2: figure it out since that moment. I have a tough break.
- 8:38Speaker 2: I mean, they're the only, I think, playoff run that
- 8:41Speaker 2: they had. You can call it a run because they
- 8:42Speaker 2: played one game and lost. was with Phillip Rivers as quarterback.
- 8:47Speaker 2: That's a great point, yeah. And that was five years ago,
- 8:50Speaker 2: six years ago. So it's been a disastrous, mediocre 10
- 8:55Speaker 2: years for the Indianapolis Colts. They're the only team in
- 8:58Speaker 2: their division in that 10 years that has not won
- 9:01Speaker 2: the division. Wow. That division holds the Titans, the Texans,
- 9:08Speaker 2: and the Jags. That's hard to believe. And they're the
- 9:11Speaker 2: only one that has not won it in that time.
- 9:14Speaker 2: I would have never guessed they didn't win it once.
- 9:16Speaker 2: I would have lost all my money if you would
- 9:19Speaker 2: have bet me that. I would never have guessed that.
- 9:21Speaker 3: Wow.
- 9:23Speaker 2: One team that has won it in that time, the
- 9:24Speaker 2: Houston Texans, who's hot. They got a big win over
- 9:27Speaker 2: the weekend. Maybe the best game of the weekend was
- 9:28Speaker 2: the first one there, Drew, on Sunday in London. Shoot up.
- 9:31Speaker 2: They get Tank Dell back. He'll play week seven. He
- 9:35Speaker 2: has last played when he tore his ACL. MCL and
- 9:40Speaker 2: I believe LCL as well. Just one more for the home.
- 9:43Speaker 2: One of the worst, one of the most devastating injuries
- 9:45Speaker 2: I've ever seen was I believe it was on Christmas Eve,
- 9:50Speaker 2: December of 2024 against the Chiefs. He will be back
- 9:53Speaker 2: coming up this week. So who's hot? Who's not brought
- 9:55Speaker 2: to you by Donovan Jorgensen heating and cooling. Also, who's not?
- 10:00Speaker 2: hot did mention not hot Badgers performance this weekend. Offense
- 10:03Speaker 2: got what? 240 yards. That's not hot, potentially hot Badgers
- 10:09Speaker 2: at Hawkeyes, big noon kickoff on big Fox coming up
- 10:13Speaker 2: on Halloween day. Best part of that. Full-on Badger game day.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Watch the Badgers hopefully beat the Hawkeyes for the first
- 10:22Speaker 2: time in five years. And more importantly, have it be
- 10:25Speaker 2: a one-score game than the last two where I think
- 10:27Speaker 2: they've lost by a combined 55. But more than anything,
- 10:32Speaker 2: then you get the full Badger game day in. Maybe
- 10:35Speaker 2: possibly game seven of the World Series that night. If necessary.
- 10:39Speaker 3: If necessary.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Boy, Halloween night. I was going to say, or you
- 10:42Speaker 2: just get to load up on candy and trick-or-treating, and
- 10:45Speaker 2: maybe the best block party your neighborhood has ever seen
- 10:50Speaker 2: is trick-or-treating going from 5 to 7, and then every
- 10:55Speaker 2: adult in the neighborhood just squatting up at the end
- 10:58Speaker 2: of their driveway is drinking, because that's basically what trick-or-treating is.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Or what's the blocks that just put up a big projection?
- 11:03Speaker 2: Somebody's going to put it on their garage.
- 11:05Speaker 5: You got to, because there's no way a... If you
- 11:09Speaker 5: cancel trick-or-treating, these kids will revolt. I mean, these kids
- 11:12Speaker 5: will push back.
- 11:13Speaker 2: You're not winning that battle. You're not.
- 11:14Speaker 5: So you've got to find a way to do both. And,
- 11:16Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, you can buy bags of.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Candy for the kids. I'm sorry. I'm not leaving. No,
- 11:20Speaker 2: I ain't going to work.
- 11:21Speaker 5: So, boy, that could be a conundrum on Halloween night. Well,
- 11:24Speaker 5: let's win it in five or six. Let's win it
- 11:26Speaker 5: in six.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Let's win it in four, actually.
- 11:28Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 11:28Speaker 3: We mentioned who's hot. We talked to Wayne Larry about
- 11:30Speaker 3: Jordan Love being hot. Jonathan Gannon's being hot right now.
- 11:33Speaker 3: A nice bounce back by Trey Smack. We're not giving
- 11:35Speaker 3: him his flowers.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Very well done. That was important. No really incredibly difficult kicks,
- 11:40Speaker 2: but all important ones. Consistency is difficult. Yes.
- 11:44Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 11:44Speaker 2: And also in the hot category would be for the
- 11:47Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals, Chad Ryland, their kicker. Six for six yesterday
- 11:51Speaker 2: in that 18-16 win. Who's hot? Who's not?
- 11:53Speaker 3: That's right. We could also, yeah, Michael Flores, you know.
- 11:57Speaker 3: That was a big, big win. Good for Mikey LaFleur's squad. Yeah,
- 12:02Speaker 3: I like that. Pesky, pesky bunch. Who would have bet
- 12:05Speaker 3: they were going to be two and four? I think
- 12:06Speaker 3: their over-under was three and a half. Who's not hot?
- 12:11Speaker 3: The Philadelphia Eagles medical staff. And poor coach, our poor
- 12:15Speaker 3: devil of the day, Tom Hardcourt-Ward. Tom Hardicore, by the way,
- 12:18Speaker 3: has a guest column in the journal SentinelJSONline.com.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Read it.
- 12:20Speaker 3: It's awesome.
- 12:21Speaker 2: He mentions me.
- 12:22Speaker 3: I was laughing.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Yeah, Drew got a mention.
- 12:24Speaker 3: I got a mention.
- 12:25Speaker 5: I was just ripping through it during the break. I
- 12:26Speaker 5: was telling him, that's a fun read.
- 12:27Speaker 3: But the medical staff, the Jalen Hurts thing with his
- 12:30Speaker 3: deep vein thrombosis of the calf and his embolism possibly
- 12:35Speaker 3: and his lungs and stuff.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Sounds like an EDM band.
- 12:37Speaker 3: They're talking about how they kept him up all night
- 12:39Speaker 3: before the game in London and he still played. That
- 12:42Speaker 3: was weird. There's just weird stuff about that. But they
- 12:44Speaker 3: made Nick Sirianni go to the podium. after kind of
- 12:48Speaker 3: a bland statement put out by the team. And he
- 12:51Speaker 3: got grilled for like 10 minutes about this. And like,
- 12:55Speaker 3: where is the team doctor? Where is the GM? Like,
- 12:58Speaker 3: give a brother some support there.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Maybe help me out a little bit.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Just don't make him sit there and, you know, take
- 13:02Speaker 3: it all.
- 13:02Speaker 2: What did you think?
- 13:03Speaker 3: Like, everybody's just going to take that release and just like, oh, well,
- 13:05Speaker 3: nothing to see here.
- 13:06Speaker 2: Well, and is it going to– could you help the
- 13:09Speaker 2: guy out a little bit, Drew? Because isn't the number
- 13:11Speaker 2: one thing people criticize and don't like Nick Sirianni for–
- 13:15Speaker 2: It's because they kind of think he's a dummy, right?
- 13:17Speaker 2: Like they gotta, they gotta think that he's stupid as
- 13:19Speaker 2: he walks up there, stumbles through answers a little bit,
- 13:23Speaker 2: like way to help him out a little bit. Maybe
- 13:25Speaker 2: the Eagles said, we're going to send you up there.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Cause you have no reputation anyway. So they're going to
- 13:29Speaker 2: roast you regardless of what you say. It doesn't matter
- 13:32Speaker 2: what you say. Cause you always sound goofy. So you
- 13:34Speaker 2: can't put us in a bad light.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:36Speaker 2: You're probably right. That whole situation. That would have been
- 13:39Speaker 2: a Howie Roseman moment. You would have thought that probably
- 13:41Speaker 2: should have totally.
- 13:42Speaker 3: So we, uh, we talked about Chris Ballard not being hot. Like,
- 13:45Speaker 3: Guess what? Guess what the rumor is churning around?
- 13:47Speaker 2: Uh-oh.
- 13:48Speaker 3: Colts want to talk to Peyton Manning about possibly helping
- 13:50Speaker 3: out and being in the GM. Come on.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Yeah, you still need a quarterback. I mean, you still
- 13:54Speaker 2: need players. I mean, you can try, but who's your quarterback?
- 13:57Speaker 2: I'm honestly more just amazed that Jim didn't do that
- 14:00Speaker 2: while he was alive. The barrister is wondering, he's like
- 14:03Speaker 2: a dumpster fire for the Colts. They fired Ballard. How
- 14:06Speaker 2: much for JT? Bring him back to Wisconsin. Well, Jonathan
- 14:10Speaker 2: Taylor should be available at the deadline. Now, will they
- 14:14Speaker 2: trade him? And Quentin Nelson would be the other one,
- 14:18Speaker 2: former top six overall pick, guard, perennial all-pro, that they
- 14:22Speaker 2: would both be fascinating guys. But when you fire the GM, Drew,
- 14:26Speaker 2: then you're like, okay, here, let's make two of the
- 14:28Speaker 2: more seismic moves that our organization has made in the
- 14:31Speaker 2: last decade to the guy that we're also going to
- 14:33Speaker 2: fire because you were... Our dude's right-hand man for the
- 14:36Speaker 2: last decade. Yeah, I mean, that's the other thing. It's
- 14:38Speaker 2: a tough trust to throw in there. That being said,
- 14:42Speaker 2: I would be 1,000% interested if the possibility to acquire
- 14:46Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor came up. I was trying to lead the
- 14:49Speaker 2: charge for it last time that it sounded like the
- 14:51Speaker 2: Packers were interested in trading for Jonathan Taylor.
- 14:53Speaker 5: The problem is I would think that you're not the
- 14:54Speaker 5: only team involved that would like to have him.
- 14:56Speaker 2: My guess is everybody wants Jonathan Taylor.
- 14:58Speaker 5: My guess is other people like him too, so that's
- 15:00Speaker 5: one of those situations. It is pretty remarkable how good
- 15:02Speaker 5: he is with how bad their team has been. And
- 15:05Speaker 5: how about the line there, Billy? What do you think
- 15:07Speaker 5: about the line there? I mean, opinions like.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Oh, their offensive line's decent. It's good, so he's not just...
- 15:12Speaker 2: I mean, Quentin Nelson, like I said, is one of
- 15:14Speaker 2: the best guards in football, but no one guy.
- 15:17Speaker 3: I think otherwise they're okay.
- 15:18Speaker 5: I was just trying to talk myself into thinking he
- 15:20Speaker 5: could be great with a bad line.
- 15:21Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm wondering that. But like, okay,
- 15:25Speaker 2: the Mike Wall, Marco Rivera lines in the early 2000s,
- 15:29Speaker 2: you know, the Tosh Clifton group, that was a good
- 15:32Speaker 2: offensive line. It wasn't the best in football. You know
- 15:34Speaker 2: why their numbers were? It was because Amon Green was
- 15:37Speaker 2: the best running back in football. So some of those
- 15:41Speaker 2: guys can make average groups look really good. Like Wayne
- 15:46Speaker 2: said an hour ago, Drew, there's not a whole lot
- 15:49Speaker 2: that you see right now, but a great running back
- 15:52Speaker 2: will see slivers that us on all 22 aren't able
- 15:56Speaker 2: to sense and find. I'm excited to see, hopefully with
- 15:58Speaker 2: some fresh legs, what Jacobs is able to find and
- 16:01Speaker 2: carve out for them.
- 16:02Speaker 3: All right, so who's hot, who's not, we've wrapped. But
- 16:05Speaker 3: I got a current electric superhero nominee for you, and
- 16:08Speaker 3: it's an entity, not a person, not a player, it's
- 16:11Speaker 3: an entity. Marcus Theaters.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Ooh!
- 16:14Speaker 3: With Brewer fever running rampant, they've announced that Marcus Theaters,
- 16:18Speaker 3: on Wednesday and Thursday this week, will have special showings
- 16:22Speaker 3: of both the Euchre documentary and just a bit outside
- 16:25Speaker 3: about the 1982 Brewers.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Let's go!
- 16:27Speaker 3: The theaters, if you go to MarcusTheaters.com, you will find
- 16:31Speaker 3: the information. Theaters like Green Bay East, Hillside in Delafield,
- 16:35Speaker 3: Hollywood in Appleton, Menomonee Falls, Oshkosh, the Renaissance in Racine,
- 16:39Speaker 3: the Ridge Theater in New Berlin, and the Valley Grand
- 16:42Speaker 3: in Appleton. Those theaters will be showing both of those movies.
- 16:46Speaker 3: If you've not seen them yet, what better way to
- 16:47Speaker 3: get ready for what's to come? to fill that Brewer's Fix.
- 16:52Speaker 2: You got to. Great idea.
- 16:53Speaker 3: The Adjustment Outside's been streaming for a while on Tubi
- 16:56Speaker 3: and other places, so that's kind of cool.
- 16:59Speaker 2: That is one that I have not seen, so that
- 17:00Speaker 2: is the one that I definitely should have to see
- 17:02Speaker 2: at that point. A lot of fun. That one, the
- 17:06Speaker 2: appropriate for the little guys, the kids, because I know
- 17:09Speaker 2: that 82 team had a lot of fun. I didn't
- 17:11Speaker 2: know how many had some good stories in there. No,
- 17:13Speaker 2: it's good. It's family friendly. Okay.
- 17:15Speaker 3: I would say, yeah.
- 17:16Speaker 2: I did like seeing Greg Marcus rocking the brew crew
- 17:19Speaker 2: stuff in LA. He was, yeah. When they panned the
- 17:22Speaker 2: camera over right there. I mean, he wasn't sitting right
- 17:25Speaker 2: next to Mary Hart, but Greg Marcus has some pretty
- 17:28Speaker 2: damn good seats. He wasn't sitting in the back row
- 17:32Speaker 2: of the theater.
- 17:32Speaker 3: He had some field access afterwards as well.
- 17:34Speaker 2: He was enjoying it up. I love that.
- 17:36Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:37Speaker 3: So that's our current electric superhero called Currents. the website
- 17:41Speaker 3: to find out about the best in the business when
- 17:43Speaker 3: it comes to all your electrical needs, superheroes on the
- 17:45Speaker 3: side of the van, which now I see everywhere since
- 17:47Speaker 3: we started talking about them.
- 17:48Speaker 2: I know. They're everywhere. I see them everywhere now. I
- 17:50Speaker 2: totally agree with you. I see those things everywhere. Yeah,
- 17:53Speaker 2: but that's a good idea because this is the week.
- 17:55Speaker 5: Where, I don't know about you guys, I'm trying to
- 17:58Speaker 5: consume every piece of Brewers content there is.
- 18:00Speaker 2: I constantly am just looking at stuff, old, new, whatever.
- 18:04Speaker 5: When you get a moment like this and you want
- 18:06Speaker 5: to bask in the glow of and just, and just
- 18:10Speaker 5: kind of ensconce yourself in it. There's no, there's no
- 18:13Speaker 5: better way than just to just pull up any piece
- 18:15Speaker 5: of kind. I'm, I'm finding old brewer specials from green
- 18:18Speaker 5: Bay TV stations in the eighties. Like I'll just take
- 18:21Speaker 5: anything on YouTube right now.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Anything. Have you ensconced yourself in any of those pop-up
- 18:28Speaker 2: merch stands? Have we found any of those? Are they
- 18:30Speaker 2: sweeping the city still?
- 18:31Speaker 5: You know, I drive by the, by old boy on
- 18:33Speaker 5: 84th and late and every day, you know, I drive
- 18:35Speaker 5: by him and I always think about stopping and I
- 18:38Speaker 5: see that at sweet, like Jackson Cheerio kind of knockoff
- 18:41Speaker 5: kind of it's angled a little bit differently player T,
- 18:44Speaker 5: but you know, there, there, there's some good stuff out there. No,
- 18:47Speaker 5: I went down to the, to the stadium. I went
- 18:49Speaker 5: to American family field with Laura and Lena. And that
- 18:51Speaker 5: was a great little outing for a Saturday. Took some pictures.
- 18:54Speaker 5: I did get a t-shirt, Billy.
- 18:55Speaker 2: You'll be happy. Oh, which ones you go with? Got
- 18:57Speaker 2: the Nike world series. One with the cursive across.
- 18:59Speaker 1: Okay.
- 19:00Speaker 2: I kind of like that more than actually champions. Cause
- 19:02Speaker 2: what if we win it all?
- 19:03Speaker 5: So on this one commemorates world series and, you know,
- 19:06Speaker 5: spending $ 45 for a t-shirt is usually not in my repertoire,
- 19:10Speaker 5: but I said, this is the moment.
- 19:11Speaker 2: Let's just do it. So I decided to, well, that,
- 19:14Speaker 2: and you know, your, your lovely and talented wife probably
- 19:17Speaker 2: gave you the nudge and the, why don't you say,
- 19:19Speaker 2: if you're going to get, if we're here, we're going
- 19:21Speaker 2: to get one. You should get one. Like, this is
- 19:22Speaker 2: the moment.
- 19:23Speaker 1: So, yeah.
- 19:24Speaker 2: I like Laura saying, Drew, we're not coming back, all right?
- 19:27Speaker 2: So we might as well get it if we're doing it.
- 19:28Speaker 2: Just get it if we're going to do it. Might
- 19:29Speaker 2: as well.
- 19:30Speaker 3: I thought about the hat.
- 19:30Speaker 2: I'm waiting on the hats. Now they have the ones
- 19:32Speaker 2: at the side. I saw them well restocked with the hats.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Big time.
- 19:39Speaker 3: Big time.
- 19:39Speaker 2: All right.
- 19:40Speaker 1: 877-794-1973.
- 19:40Speaker 3: When we come back, we're going to fire up some
- 19:42Speaker 3: game balls and kicks to the balls. And then Hunter
- 19:45Speaker 3: Baumgart's going to join us, and we'll talk baseball with
- 19:47Speaker 3: him because he's got a show behind this one beginning
- 19:50Speaker 3: at 5 o'clock tonight.
- 19:51Speaker 2: And people are juiced up, as you should be. You

- 20:35Speaker 2: Yeah, and luckily we're about 35 minutes away from a
- 20:38Speaker 2: Drift Seltzer coming up here, Drew.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Sounds like it could be a Blackstone Drift Seltzer night.
- 20:43Speaker 3: You might be on to something there. That's what I'm
- 20:45Speaker 3: talking about.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Yes.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Now, at 420, the what are you high element of
- 20:49Speaker 3: is for everybody who's continually refreshing and getting sticker shock
- 20:52Speaker 3: about the price of Brewers World Series tickets. Is somebody
- 20:55Speaker 3: high that they're paying like $ 2, 500 to get in the door?
- 20:59Speaker 3: for standing room for 400 level for $ 2, 500. I should
- 21:04Speaker 3: be right behind Mark Adonisio and getting some TV timer
- 21:06Speaker 3: with front row.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Amy, you answer, you ask the question that I've been
- 21:10Speaker 2: wanting to ask, but haven't. And I'm glad you said
- 21:12Speaker 2: it earlier of, I see that it's being listed for that.
- 21:17Speaker 2: But are people buying it for that?
- 21:19Speaker 3: And like, I will tell now if, if Tampa fans
- 21:22Speaker 3: aren't buying tickets in their own park, What makes you
- 21:26Speaker 3: think any of them are going to travel and juice
- 21:29Speaker 3: the demand? So it's all cheesers, but it's 44 years
- 21:32Speaker 3: of pent-up frustration, of euchre love, of just the chance
- 21:35Speaker 3: of celebrating 82.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Basking in the full glow.
- 21:40Speaker 5: We're in more of an experience-driven culture, I think, than
- 21:43Speaker 5: we used to be because there's social capital involved, because people,
- 21:47Speaker 5: just this generation is more so willing to do things
- 21:50Speaker 5: like that and say, all right, well, I'm in debt
- 21:54Speaker 5: now anyway.
- 21:54Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.
- 21:55Speaker 5: I just think we'll know. Time will tell if this
- 21:58Speaker 5: market will hold. But right now, it's not moving down.
- 22:01Speaker 3: It's not moving down.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Anything is going up. It is wild to think you
- 22:04Speaker 2: can be sitting seven rows behind the dugout for $ 240
- 22:09Speaker 2: or right next to the dugout for $ 400 for the
- 22:13Speaker 2: potential clincher tonight at the Tropicana Field. And, you know,
- 22:19Speaker 2: that wouldn't even get you into the door. It wouldn't
- 22:21Speaker 2: even get you a sniff right now.
- 22:22Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
- 22:24Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. And this could break the record for highest
- 22:26Speaker 2: series ticket. It's already on pace. Right now. higher gate
- 22:30Speaker 2: than it was to get into the Super Bowl. It is.
- 22:32Speaker 3: It's the Super Bowl prices. It's unreal.
- 22:35Speaker 5: All I can say is, doesn't this prove how great
- 22:39Speaker 5: we are as a fan base?
- 22:40Speaker 2: That's the angle I'm going for. I think that's not bad.
- 22:42Speaker 2: We're passionate. We're committed. We want it.
- 22:44Speaker 3: The sticker shock and just the shock of the prices
- 22:49Speaker 3: of get-in-the-door tickets for the World Series is stark, and
- 22:52Speaker 3: that's why we're dedicating 420 to it. Once again, happyplacehemp.com.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Use the code HUDDLE for 25% off. You know what's
- 22:59Speaker 3: better than paying $ 2, 500 for a ticket?
- 23:01Speaker 2: What's better than that? Three tickets. Yes, they are.
- 23:04Speaker 3: We have a pair of tickets to see Bon Jovi
- 23:05Speaker 3: at Soldier Field. We have a pair to give away.
- 23:08Speaker 3: The concert is July 21st, so you already have a jump.
- 23:11Speaker 3: They don't go on sale until a week from Friday.
- 23:13Speaker 3: But we have a pair of tickets for you right now,
- 23:15Speaker 3: and you're going to have to answer a trivia question.
- 23:17Speaker 3: You Bon Jovi fans, put your thinking caps on.
- 23:21Speaker 2: 877-794-1973.
- 23:21Speaker 3: The trivia question is, you have to tell us, first
- 23:24Speaker 3: correct answer will win these tickets right now. First correct answer.
- 23:29Speaker 3: And the question is, give me the name of the
- 23:31Speaker 3: professional sports franchise for which Bon Jovi was a part owner.
- 23:36Speaker 3: He was a part owner of a professional sports franchise.
- 23:40Speaker 3: I need to know the name of that franchise.
- 23:43Speaker 2: 877-794-1973. Noted sports fan? He likes to rip it up
- 23:50Speaker 2: a little bit at some games. But now, I've seen
- 23:53Speaker 2: him at a number of different ones, right? Like, I
- 23:56Speaker 2: feel like I've seen him hanging out in the owner's
- 23:58Speaker 2: suite of, like, 12 or 13 different owners.
- 24:01Speaker 3: He's tight with, like, Bob Craft.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Definitely the Crafts. Definitely. But you never know. I mean,
- 24:07Speaker 2: he could also have the effect like Springsteen has on Murph,
- 24:10Speaker 2: where all of a sudden there's somebody that just says,
- 24:12Speaker 2: you know. Bon Jovi's got a song, guys, that really
- 24:15Speaker 2: speaks to me in this moment. And all of a
- 24:16Speaker 2: sudden you see Bon Jovi hanging out in the locker
- 24:18Speaker 2: room after a game. Could be.
- 24:19Speaker 3: All right, so 877-794-1973. And you can Google it.
- 24:24Speaker 2: It's nothing.
- 24:24Speaker 3: It's a public record. But what franchise did Jon Bon
- 24:27Speaker 3: Jovi own a piece of for a time? And Armin,
- 24:31Speaker 3: who's on line one?
- 24:32Speaker 2: Jon from Burlington was first in.
- 24:34Speaker 3: Jon from Burlington.
- 24:35Speaker 2: Welcome to the huddle, my friend.
- 24:36Speaker 1: How are you, fellas?
- 24:39Speaker 2: We're good.
- 24:39Speaker 3: We're good.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Jon.
- 24:41Speaker 3: What franchise did Jon Bon Jovi own a piece of?
- 24:44Speaker 2: The Philadelphia Soul.
- 24:47Speaker 3: The Philadelphia Soul Arena Football League team.
- 24:50Speaker 2: It was arena football. I was joking when I said Mustangs. Yes, indeed.
- 24:53Speaker 2: He did.
- 24:54Speaker 3: He was rumored to be involved with a group that
- 24:56Speaker 3: was trying to buy the bills at one point.
- 24:58Speaker 2: He was, yes. That would have been a good investment.
- 25:00Speaker 3: So, Jon, you're a Bon Jovi fan, or is there
- 25:03Speaker 3: a lady in your life that is?
- 25:04Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I was there from the beginning, and we
- 25:08Speaker 2: parted ways over the years. But, yeah, no, always been
- 25:10Speaker 2: a fan.
- 25:11Speaker 3: Well, you're going back. You can go home, yes. Who
- 25:13Speaker 3: says you can't go home to Bon Jovi? All right,
- 25:16Speaker 3: you're going July 21st. Soldier Field, hang on the line
- 25:18Speaker 3: so Armand can get your information. People really win on
- 25:21Speaker 3: the huddle. Yeah, John and Burlington. Now, here's the thing.
- 25:25Speaker 3: We'll have another pair to give away live. You must
- 25:28Speaker 3: be present to win. You have to sign up to win.
- 25:30Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 25:30Speaker 3: We're not going to do the drawing, but you just
- 25:32Speaker 3: have to show up and sign up, and you can
- 25:34Speaker 3: win a pair of Bon Jovi tickets July 21st.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Soldier Field. You have to be there to enter, yeah.
- 25:39Speaker 3: I'm not a big fan of football games at Soldier Field,
- 25:41Speaker 3: but I've been to some good concerts there.
- 25:42Speaker 2: See, now I've heard a lot of people say that
- 25:45Speaker 2: it's a solid, solid concert venue.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Because for a football stadium, it's okay, right? Like, it's
- 25:51Speaker 2: not great. The sight lines aren't always phenomenal. But that walk-in,
- 25:55Speaker 2: that lead-in in the middle of the summer, not a
- 25:57Speaker 2: bad one. Not bad. That's not a bad July night
- 26:00Speaker 2: to be ripping it up. Cooler by the lake, obviously,
- 26:02Speaker 2: in the summer. So all that stuff. Congratulations to John
- 26:05Speaker 2: and Burlington.
- 26:06Speaker 3: And don't forget, we'll have a way for you to
- 26:09Speaker 3: sign up. But if you show up at Pottawatomie and
- 26:12Speaker 3: drop your name into a box, you have a good
- 26:14Speaker 3: chance of winning the other pair that we have to
- 26:15Speaker 3: give away this week.
- 26:16Speaker 5: Yeah, so we have two pairs. We gave away the
- 26:17Speaker 5: first pair.
- 26:18Speaker 2: Oh, he's been waiting and sitting on that one. Not
- 26:22Speaker 2: as good as the first time. I know, but... Not
- 26:24Speaker 2: as good as the first time.
- 26:25Speaker 3: That's good.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Arena Football League... Maybe took the best run at being
- 26:29Speaker 2: the second football league in America. I would agree with that.
- 26:32Speaker 2: They had their moment.
- 26:33Speaker 3: It is so true.
- 26:34Speaker 2: They had a good run there for a little bit.
- 26:36Speaker 2: Like it was actually on NBC. It could kind of
- 26:40Speaker 2: follow the teams. Remembered like where the teams were at
- 26:43Speaker 2: and people actually went to some of them.
- 26:45Speaker 3: I was the Milwaukee Mustangs beat writer for like two games.
- 26:48Speaker 3: And then I got reassigned. It was like a boss
- 26:52Speaker 3: calls me and like, I got something for you. You're
- 26:53Speaker 3: going to cover. And I'm like, wait, wait, wait for it.
- 26:55Speaker 3: What's this is my big bump. It's like, I'm going
- 26:57Speaker 3: to be a made man. You're going to cover the
- 26:59Speaker 3: Mustangs arena team. I'm like, oh, all right.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Okay, whatever.
- 27:02Speaker 3: And I did like two games and I was hauled
- 27:04Speaker 3: on to other duties. But then the other duties included
- 27:09Speaker 3: backing up Bob McGinn and covering the Packers.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Oh, for sure, yes.
- 27:11Speaker 3: I remember walking across the, as you do, you walk
- 27:14Speaker 3: from practice field. Back then it was the other side.
- 27:17Speaker 3: Ray Nitschke Field was not. We were on the other
- 27:19Speaker 3: side where the Don Hudson, in front of the Hudson Center,
- 27:23Speaker 3: Clark Hinkle Field. And I'm walking across the street and
- 27:26Speaker 3: I found myself next to Ron Wolf. And being the
- 27:28Speaker 3: cub reporter and the intrepid inquiring mind that I am,
- 27:31Speaker 3: I asked Ron Wolf. I said, I discovered a couple
- 27:34Speaker 3: of arena league games. I'm like, hey, Ron, are you
- 27:36Speaker 3: guys going to scout the arena league at all? Are
- 27:38Speaker 3: you going to like find, you know, maybe find some players?
- 27:40Speaker 3: Nice thought, young man. But no, we're not stupid to that.
- 27:43Speaker 3: We're not going to look at the arena league.
- 27:45Speaker 2: No, no. He's like, nice thought, young man. Good question.
- 27:50Speaker 2: That's adorable.
- 27:50Speaker 3: Thanks for the question. That's very adorable. But no, we
- 27:54Speaker 3: have our own scouting department. We'll find our players, but
- 27:56Speaker 3: we won't be looking at you. And lo and behold,
- 27:59Speaker 3: later on, they did use that as a bit of
- 28:01Speaker 3: a farm system.
- 28:02Speaker 2: And they were, yeah.
- 28:03Speaker 3: In its earliest days, though, Ron Wolfe was not interested.
- 28:07Speaker 3: He said, yeah, that's adorable. We will not be doing that.
- 28:10Speaker 3: He basically patted me on my head and sent me
- 28:12Speaker 3: along on my way.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Good thought, champ. Yeah, good thought.
- 28:15Speaker 3: Good hustle, kid. You know, when you got a real question,
- 28:19Speaker 3: that is so good.
- 28:20Speaker 2: It's so funny.
- 28:20Speaker 1: It was.
- 28:21Speaker 2: I'm telling you, man, it had a nice little, nice
- 28:23Speaker 2: little run there of like two or three years. And
- 28:25Speaker 2: then like all these other great leagues go bankrupt and
- 28:28Speaker 2: can't pay the players, can't pay the salaries, what have you.
- 28:30Speaker 2: But it just shows, man, how dominant the NFL is.
- 28:33Speaker 2: I got called and asked to. do a hit before
- 28:38Speaker 2: the Thursday night game in Canada. And they're talking about
- 28:41Speaker 2: the CFL and they're kind of roasting the other American
- 28:44Speaker 2: football leagues. And I'm like, well, yeah, people bet on
- 28:47Speaker 2: your league more than they're going to bet on the UFL.
- 28:50Speaker 2: That one actually has real teams and organizations and funding.
- 28:53Speaker 2: They can't find that here. But when you got Jon
- 28:57Speaker 2: Bon Jovi sitting in the Wells Fargo arena, giving some
- 29:00Speaker 2: waves to the Philadelphia crowd, that thing had a little
- 29:03Speaker 2: bit of juice and a video game too. That's when
- 29:06Speaker 2: you knew you had a real chance when EA Sports said,
- 29:11Speaker 2: you are in the game.
- 29:12Speaker 5: And a cool ball, right? A multicolored ball. I think
- 29:15Speaker 5: that is a big factor. Wasn't it multicolored?
- 29:17Speaker 2: Yeah, but it wasn't as cool as the XFLs. I
- 29:22Speaker 2: got to push back on you on that one because
- 29:23Speaker 2: it was like a weird tan look.
- 29:25Speaker 5: But you could keep it. That was the big thing, right?
- 29:28Speaker 5: You could keep it in the crowd.
- 29:29Speaker 2: That's true.
- 29:30Speaker 5: It was a big deal to catch a souvenir. And, like,
- 29:33Speaker 5: guys would be, you know, just getting slammed into the
- 29:35Speaker 5: pads and stuff.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a good time. That and the lingerie link.
- 29:40Speaker 3: League that became, by the way, the, the, the best
- 29:42Speaker 3: part of covering the Mustangs. Well, it was two good
- 29:45Speaker 3: parts of it there. The games were like impossible to cover.
- 29:48Speaker 3: Cause like color scheme, you'd be keeping track of what
- 29:50Speaker 3: was happening in the first half.
- 29:51Speaker 2: Like it mattered.
- 29:52Speaker 3: And the scores were like 60 to 45 or something.
- 29:55Speaker 3: Nothing mattered in the first half. So it was like,
- 29:56Speaker 3: that was eyeopening. So just, You literally didn't have to
- 29:59Speaker 3: start paying attention until the back half of the game.
- 30:01Speaker 3: But there were some attractive cheerleaders who were in my
- 30:06Speaker 3: age bracket at that time.
- 30:07Speaker 2: That's usually a draw.
- 30:08Speaker 3: And the coach of the inaugural coach for the Mustangs
- 30:12Speaker 3: was Lou Saban. Legendary football man, Lou Saban.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Holy cats. That's pretty cool. Yeah. That is wild.
- 30:19Speaker 3: At the time, you don't know, though, right.
- 30:21Speaker 2: What it's going to be. I mean, you don't even
- 30:23Speaker 2: know the name, obviously, but like.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Yeah, so Lou Saban was the coach of the first
- 30:28Speaker 3: year of the Mustangs. Anyway, yeah, the Arena League, Jon
- 30:30Speaker 3: Bon Jovi. Philadelphia, so bringing it all back home. That
- 30:33Speaker 3: was a great pull on that part, Drew. That was
- 30:36Speaker 3: phenomenally well done.
- 30:37Speaker 2: And I'm glad you did have something good, too, for
- 30:40Speaker 2: Wake and Bake as well, because I was watching and
- 30:42Speaker 2: could not stop watching this incredible AI video of the
- 30:46Speaker 2: Sopranos trying to— playing soccer just outside of Bada Bing.
- 30:52Speaker 2: It's remarkable what AI is doing right now. I know
- 30:55Speaker 2: Brewers fans are seeing a lot of the, all the
- 30:59Speaker 2: Bob Euchre calls that Armin was watching as I walked
- 31:01Speaker 2: in earlier on here today.
- 31:03Speaker 5: But the thing is though, I've been expecting more like
- 31:06Speaker 5: AI Bob calls the last out.
- 31:09Speaker 2: I haven't really on the acoustic version. I don't want that.
- 31:11Speaker 2: I have, I have not seen this. She's setting the mood,
- 31:15Speaker 2: setting the mood here at four 30. Come on. I
- 31:17Speaker 2: did not mean to get the like acoustic strings version.
- 31:21Speaker 2: Sorry about that. Everybody. No, I have not seen as much.
- 31:26Speaker 5: I have not seen as much of the AI Bob
- 31:28Speaker 5: as I thought I would, which is probably a good thing.
- 31:30Speaker 5: I like to hustle people trying to, I like to
- 31:33Speaker 5: hustle people trying to attach old Uker calls to the
- 31:36Speaker 5: current highlights and But then we went.
- 31:39Speaker 2: Through a Bob. It's better when they don't put Dwayne
- 31:41Speaker 2: Mosley in there. Yeah.
- 31:43Speaker 5: I mean, the amount of people that still think that Dwayne,
- 31:46Speaker 5: that he called the last out and not the Wayne
- 31:48Speaker 5: Mosley stuff. I, I make it my life's mission to
- 31:51Speaker 5: correct everyone in the internet and the comments.
- 31:52Speaker 2: Like actually that was Dwayne Mosley on just that. Well, no, no.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Many other things, but that's one of them.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Many.
- 32:01Speaker 3: Other ones, Billy, that.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Hey, did you guys know that if the Brewers played Cleveland,
- 32:05Speaker 2: it would be the Major League Series?
- 32:06Speaker 3: It'd be the Harry Doyle special.
- 32:08Speaker 2: I mean, how many times have you heard that now?
- 32:11Speaker 3: Or the insurance series.
- 32:12Speaker 2: How many YouTube shorts pop up?
- 32:14Speaker 3: With Progressive Against American Family.
- 32:16Speaker 2: You know, actually, that's a good one. Major League was
- 32:19Speaker 2: filmed at Milwaukee County Stadium. That's right. Yeah, we knew that.
- 32:23Speaker 2: My goodness. A bunch of amateurs.
- 32:24Speaker 3: All right, when we come back, I think we've covered
- 32:27Speaker 3: a bunch of bases, but when we come back, Our
- 32:29Speaker 3: pal Hunter Baumgart is going to drop on in because
- 32:31Speaker 3: he's hosting the show behind this one today. And he'll
- 32:35Speaker 3: be talking baseball.
- 32:36Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. That's who people want to
- 32:38Speaker 2: hear from.
- 32:38Speaker 3: That's who people want to hear. Hunter Baumgart is going
- 32:40Speaker 3: to drop in next. You are in the huddle, Fox
- 32:42Speaker 3: Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew Billion-Armond on this Monday in the
- 32:57Speaker 3: good land. We are about to slide down the back
- 33:01Speaker 3: of the dinosaur. Our day is ending. Hunter Baumgart is
- 33:04Speaker 3: here with us. He's going to take over the airwaves
- 33:06Speaker 3: and interwebs beginning at 5 o'clock. I'm just excited to
- 33:10Speaker 3: listen on.
- 33:10Speaker 2: My drive home.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Hi, Hunter.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Oh, thank you guys. Good to be on with you.
- 33:14Speaker 3: Good to see you.
- 33:15Speaker 2: You've been traveling.
- 33:17Speaker 5: The jet center, Hunter Baumgard. It's like I need an
- 33:19Speaker 5: appointment to find.
- 33:20Speaker 3: Hunter these days because he's out and about covering ball.
- 33:23Speaker 5: By the way, Hunter's also a part-time travel agent if
- 33:26Speaker 5: anyone's interested.
- 33:27Speaker 3: That's right.
- 33:28Speaker 5: He's been looking through websites and flight sites and.
- 33:32Speaker 3: Here Hunter is, you've been covering the Brewers for a
- 33:34Speaker 3: couple of years and you're already going to the World Series.
- 33:36Speaker 3: Didn't have to wait 30 years for.
- 33:38Speaker 2: It to happen.
- 33:40Speaker 4: Yes, you and all of those who have covered the
- 33:42Speaker 4: team for a long time were on my mind. I
- 33:44Speaker 4: said to Todd Rosiak as we left the press box
- 33:46Speaker 4: that night, I said, that's who I'm happy for. Obviously,
- 33:49Speaker 4: it's going to be a really cool experience, but I'm
- 33:50Speaker 4: happy for those who have invested so much time, whether
- 33:53Speaker 4: it be covering the team or obviously fans as well
- 33:56Speaker 4: who've waited so long.
- 33:57Speaker 3: I always think when people say, do you root for
- 34:00Speaker 3: the Brewers? Wins and losses, not for me, but my friends.
- 34:05Speaker 3: Tony Migliaccio and Phil Roswitz and those guys, Tom Flanagan,
- 34:08Speaker 3: the guys who are lifers, man. I'm happy to see
- 34:12Speaker 3: them enjoy this. Mike Vassallo, Andrew Grumman. Dapping up everybody
- 34:16Speaker 3: right away.
- 34:16Speaker 2: When I saw him jump up to the top step
- 34:18Speaker 2: of the dugout, that was a cool moment.
- 34:20Speaker 3: Not for nothing, those guys, it's a nice little salary bump.
- 34:23Speaker 3: That World Series share that they're going to get is
- 34:25Speaker 3: a pretty life-changing event. I, that's what I hear.
- 34:29Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 34:29Speaker 3: So not for us. And I talked to Rosiak and
- 34:33Speaker 3: he's here. Rosiak's come into the harsh realization that he's
- 34:37Speaker 3: working like his arse off as his hunter. And then
- 34:40Speaker 3: on the first and 15th, there's nothing extra. That's going
- 34:43Speaker 3: to be the same deal.
- 34:44Speaker 2: That's going to be the same deal.
- 34:44Speaker 1: Thanks.
- 34:45Speaker 2: Thanks a lot.
- 34:46Speaker 3: You ground yourself to a pulp and you, uh, you
- 34:49Speaker 3: probably took a year off your life, but thanks for it.
- 34:51Speaker 3: And you know, appreciate it. What do you got for
- 34:53Speaker 3: us now? What's next?
- 34:54Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's worth it. That's why you grab a
- 34:56Speaker 2: couple of those free soaps on the road. It's all
- 34:58Speaker 2: worth it. Yeah, that's right.
- 34:59Speaker 3: That's right.
- 35:00Speaker 2: All right.
- 35:00Speaker 3: So, Hunter, it's game six. I've had a lot of
- 35:04Speaker 3: people ask me, who do you think the Brewers want
- 35:06Speaker 3: to face? I said, I don't think they care. Is
- 35:08Speaker 3: that the vibe you got?
- 35:09Speaker 4: That's what Ryan Braun said on one of his TV interviews.
- 35:11Speaker 4: He was exactly right.
- 35:14Speaker 3: They don't.
- 35:14Speaker 4: And I think they're the better team, whoever comes out
- 35:18Speaker 4: of the AL. If you can sweep the Dodgers, I
- 35:20Speaker 4: think you can sweep anybody at this point. But I
- 35:23Speaker 4: also think that the Rays are better, I think, than
- 35:25Speaker 4: the Guardians as a whole. I think they're a better team.
- 35:27Speaker 4: I think they have more talent. I think they're probably
- 35:29Speaker 4: more equipped to beat the Brewers. And they play a
- 35:31Speaker 4: similar brand. I was watching the game last night and like, oh, yeah,
- 35:33Speaker 4: I could see the Brewers winning. in the rays a
- 35:35Speaker 4: little bit in these different parts, but they're, they're a
- 35:37Speaker 4: little less, you look at the numbers, especially in the
- 35:39Speaker 4: post season and like every, the brewers are first and
- 35:42Speaker 4: pretty much everything, especially offensively. And then the rays are
- 35:45Speaker 4: more middle of the pack. So I it's, they are
- 35:48Speaker 4: the brewers, but I don't think they're as good of
- 35:50Speaker 4: a version of the brewers. And so, The Brewers, no
- 35:53Speaker 4: matter who they face, should be able to win.
- 35:55Speaker 3: I struggle to think that the Rays or the Guardians
- 35:58Speaker 3: are better than not only the Dodgers, but the Padres.
- 36:00Speaker 3: The Brewers have beaten two tougher teams to get here.
- 36:03Speaker 3: And again, you can't take anything for granted. And the
- 36:06Speaker 3: layoff is, you worry about the layoff, even though they've
- 36:08Speaker 3: been through this before.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 36:10Speaker 3: But we'll see. And how sharp is Miz?
- 36:13Speaker 2: That's the one thing. The thing that would scare me
- 36:15Speaker 2: about the Rays is they probably have, I wouldn't say probably,
- 36:18Speaker 2: they have the guy that's pitching the best. So you're
- 36:20Speaker 2: going to face Rasmussen at least twice. If you go
- 36:24Speaker 2: and see five games, you thought you were going to
- 36:26Speaker 2: see Scooble at least twice. Williams has been no joke either.
- 36:29Speaker 2: But the one thing about Cleveland is they'll have a
- 36:35Speaker 2: little team of destiny feel to them if they get
- 36:37Speaker 2: through this. Although it is Cleveland, right? So they can
- 36:41Speaker 2: have a team of destiny. Feel you think you're the
- 36:44Speaker 2: lovable losers and are cursed and live by the mistake
- 36:46Speaker 2: on the lake there for a while. And then you
- 36:48Speaker 2: really realize that you got some problems. So I also,
- 36:51Speaker 2: I don't believe that they should worry about it. I
- 36:54Speaker 2: think the fans should definitely be cheering for it to
- 36:55Speaker 2: be the race because it appears that like right now,
- 37:00Speaker 2: if it is Tampa, I mean, that place is going
- 37:03Speaker 2: to be am fam South because there's going to, it's
- 37:06Speaker 2: going to be the easiest ticket to get possible to
- 37:09Speaker 2: get down there and possibly back for less than it
- 37:13Speaker 2: would be to go to game one or two right here. Well,
- 37:16Speaker 2: it's also interesting.
- 37:17Speaker 5: With Cleveland, you know, you had both, you know, another
- 37:20Speaker 5: manager kind of in the same vein of, You know,
- 37:23Speaker 5: during that offseason, both won.
- 37:25Speaker 2: Manager of the year.
- 37:26Speaker 5: That'll be an interesting chess match as well, Hunter.
- 37:28Speaker 2: It's hard to remember.
- 37:29Speaker 3: I remember the first series when the Brewers dog walked
- 37:32Speaker 3: the White Sox to open the season at Amphanfield. The
- 37:35Speaker 3: Rays came in next.
- 37:36Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 37:37Speaker 3: They won a game 3-2, and then they lost on
- 37:39Speaker 3: the way out of town 6-2 and 8-2.
- 37:43Speaker 2: Yes.
- 37:43Speaker 3: I remember next to nothing about those games.
- 37:45Speaker 2: I remember being at one of the games that we
- 37:49Speaker 2: were at, Armin, and I believe that was when Armin
- 37:53Speaker 2: Sarian popped up the sign that he was going to
- 37:56Speaker 2: put up that we were going to go 13-0 to
- 37:57Speaker 2: start the season.
- 37:58Speaker 3: With the Milwaukee Admirals. And we lost that game. And
- 38:02Speaker 3: we lost.
- 38:03Speaker 2: That's right, because that was our first loss of the
- 38:05Speaker 2: season then.
- 38:06Speaker 3: It was 3-2 was the only loss, as you said, Drew. Yeah,
- 38:09Speaker 3: 3-2 was the first game, the opener of that series. Oh,
- 38:12Speaker 3: McGill took the loss, so that was... So maybe I
- 38:15Speaker 3: shouldn't go.
- 38:15Speaker 4: So that was when, obviously, McGill was not having a
- 38:18Speaker 4: great start to the season, as we know. And then
- 38:20Speaker 4: he completely turned it around. But yeah, so they took
- 38:22Speaker 4: 2-3 from Tampa. And then they took 2-3 from the
- 38:24Speaker 4: Guardians in the middle of June. 2-1 victory and 9-4 victory.
- 38:29Speaker 4: And then they lost 4-2 in the finale. If you
- 38:32Speaker 4: would have told me that these two would be the
- 38:33Speaker 4: two teams playing for the AL title at those times
- 38:36Speaker 4: the Brewers played them, I probably would have went.
- 38:38Speaker 3: I'm not so sure about that.
- 38:39Speaker 5: Well, the thing is, Hunter, that's a good point because
- 38:41Speaker 5: it's kind of capped off an interestingly unusual year for
- 38:44Speaker 5: the AL.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 38:45Speaker 5: Weaker across the board. Cleveland was in that battle all
- 38:48Speaker 5: the way through with the White Sox. They were in
- 38:50Speaker 5: second most of the year. But then again, the Rays
- 38:52Speaker 5: had been kind of the best.
- 38:53Speaker 2: Team with the Yankees all year. You guys, that's my picture.
- 38:56Speaker 2: That's me. Yeah, I blew it there.
- 38:58Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're watching.
- 38:59Speaker 2: 162-0. Hey, but you know what? We can win the
- 39:01Speaker 2: World Series. So then it'll work. Yeah, you have to.
- 39:05Speaker 2: Come on, there's some things.
- 39:06Speaker 3: It would work.
- 39:06Speaker 5: I think if I remember right, I was going to
- 39:08Speaker 5: leave early, Billy. So I wanted that picture just in case.
- 39:12Speaker 5: That was exactly what it was. Yes, it was exactly
- 39:15Speaker 5: what it was. You said, I'm going to do this
- 39:17Speaker 5: because we're going to win. There's also a video that
- 39:19Speaker 5: goes along with it that I probably won't post.
- 39:23Speaker 2: Did I swear or something? I don't remember, but I
- 39:26Speaker 2: definitely will AI in their World Series champs. And then
- 39:30Speaker 2: if they lose, then you will definitely be the jinx
- 39:33Speaker 2: for it. What if we win? Then I'll be the man.
- 39:35Speaker 2: Then you'll be the man. Hey, he'll be the absolute man.
- 39:38Speaker 3: See, that's a good thing that can happen on the
- 39:39Speaker 3: other side.
- 39:40Speaker 2: Hunter's the man. He'll be having a full hour next. Drew,
- 39:43Speaker 2: I don't know. Did you have something there?
- 39:44Speaker 3: I was just going to say, I'm looking at this
- 39:46Speaker 3: box score and the play-by-play from that game. Angel Zerpa
- 39:49Speaker 3: pitched in that game.
- 39:50Speaker 2: Let's go.
- 39:51Speaker 1: All right.
- 39:52Speaker 3: And McGill did give it up. McGill came in in
- 39:53Speaker 3: a tie game, 2-2, as you do with the closer.
- 39:57Speaker 3: He got Caminero out on a ground out. He struck
- 40:00Speaker 3: out Ben Williamson. He walked Johnny DeLuca. And then Nick
- 40:03Speaker 3: Fortes got a RBI double to knock in what was
- 40:06Speaker 3: the winning run. And Ian Seymour shut down the Brewers.
- 40:09Speaker 4: Can any of you name the cleanup hitter for the
- 40:11Speaker 4: Milwaukee Brewers on that night? Fourth game of the season.
- 40:14Speaker 3: Cleanup hitter.
- 40:15Speaker 2: These are all the guys that are going to get rings.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Luis Renjifo.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Renjifo.
- 40:19Speaker 3: Cleanup hitter for your Milwaukee Brewers.
- 40:21Speaker 2: Why was he fourth?
- 40:23Speaker 3: He was fourth. Bowers was fifth.
- 40:25Speaker 4: We didn't know it was the year of Jake Bowers
- 40:27Speaker 4: quite yet, although people were saying in the spring.
- 40:29Speaker 3: The Brewers did play them, and Tampa did visit Milwaukee.
- 40:33Speaker 3: It seems like a million years ago, but that was
- 40:34Speaker 3: like March, April, and the Brewers won two out of three.
- 40:37Speaker 5: You think they're going to wear the Devil Rays? They've
- 40:39Speaker 5: been leaning into wearing the old Devil Rays throwbacks a lot.
- 40:42Speaker 2: They should.
- 40:42Speaker 3: They're way better than the jerseys they have now.
- 40:44Speaker 4: Imagine telling someone three years ago that, hey, in three years,
- 40:47Speaker 4: Freddy Peralta is going to be pitching for the Rays
- 40:48Speaker 4: to try to send his team to the World Series.
- 40:50Speaker 3: To face the Milwaukee Brewers. Freddy Peralta is going to
- 40:52Speaker 3: pitch a World Series game at AmFam Field for a
- 40:55Speaker 3: different team.
- 40:56Speaker 2: That too. I wouldn't have taken that back.
- 40:58Speaker 3: He'll be ready. Well, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
- 41:02Speaker 2: Probably three.
- 41:02Speaker 3: He'll pitch Sunday.
- 41:05Speaker 2: It could be Sunday.
- 41:05Speaker 3: That'd be the off day.
- 41:06Speaker 2: He'll pitch in Tampa. Unless it goes seven. Yes, true.
- 41:13Speaker 3: Then Freddie could pitch game seven if it goes seven.
- 41:15Speaker 5: Finally, Freddie pitching game seven for a World Series at
- 41:17Speaker 5: the stadium in American Family Field.
- 41:20Speaker 3: So the Brewers are going to be rested. The whole
- 41:21Speaker 3: rest versus rest, they've been through this before. It hasn't
- 41:24Speaker 3: affected them. I mean, this is a longer one. This
- 41:26Speaker 3: is a longer one than they've had since spring training
- 41:28Speaker 3: because it's a full week.
- 41:29Speaker 2: This is longer.
- 41:29Speaker 3: Now, if Cleveland steals one tonight and they have to
- 41:32Speaker 3: play another game, then you're looking at the team that
- 41:35Speaker 3: wins going to party their asses off and then have
- 41:37Speaker 3: to fly and get here for the workout the next day.
- 41:40Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'd say if you're a Burris fan, you're
- 41:42Speaker 4: cheering for Cleveland tonight.
- 41:46Speaker 2: There was an awesome video. Kurt Hogue had it, and
- 41:47Speaker 2: I know you talked to everybody after the game. When
- 41:51Speaker 2: are we thinking we're hearing this potential news on how
- 41:54Speaker 2: the simulated game went for Brandon Woodruff?
- 41:57Speaker 4: As soon as someone is able to make contact with
- 41:59Speaker 4: someone over at the ballpark.
- 42:01Speaker 2: It's crazy.
- 42:03Speaker 3: There's a chance. There's a chance.

- 42:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 42:13Speaker 2: You can't let this man do all this work. To

- 42:23Speaker 2: Back end of the game? We're in more high leverage? No,
- 42:26Speaker 2: like fifth inning.
- 42:27Speaker 3: We're going to talk about this on the show.
- 42:28Speaker 2: That's right.
- 42:29Speaker 3: You're going to hear B.A. on the call tonight. I'll

- 42:32Speaker 3: going to play, potentially. Hunter's got the next hour for you.
- 42:36Speaker 2: It's going to be fun. Thanks for dropping in, Hunter.
