1:55
Speaker 3: It strikes me on the drive into the megaplex here
1:57
Speaker 3: to do the show on nine to twenty Milwaukee, ten
1:59
Speaker 3: seventy Madison. Ever, we're on the Ieart app and streaming
2:01
Speaker 3: live on Facebook X and YouTube. Strikes me that in
2:04
Speaker 3: most cases, with you know, the occasional, albeit now somewhat
2:10
Speaker 3: rare exception, Friday is the first day of the series.
2:14
Speaker 3: In the summer, Friday is the opener. Friday is the
2:17
Speaker 3: dawn of the series. It's the Brewers and the Dodgers tonight,
2:20
Speaker 3: for example, and most like. There are some wrap arounds
2:23
Speaker 3: that start Thursday, but for the most part, Friday is
2:27
Speaker 3: the start. And yet here we are on Friday, which
2:30
Speaker 3: should be the mother of all getaway days, because we're
2:33
Speaker 3: going into Memorial Day weekend. Folks, most off on Monday.
2:38
Speaker 3: You've either either Thursday was get away for you and
2:41
Speaker 3: you did what Our buddy Scott Dolphin from the country
2:43
Speaker 3: station down the hall then took Friday.
2:45
Speaker 2: And Tuesday off and the market ended it really.
2:48
Speaker 3: Long, and he bagged that week of vacation for just
2:51
Speaker 3: to the cost of today's veteran veteran play.
2:54
Speaker 2: But this is a great day to take off.
2:57
Speaker 3: Many do and just end this weekend, which is the
3:02
Speaker 3: unofficial start of summer.
3:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, the unofficial start of summer and Memorial Day weekend
3:07
Speaker 6: is the greatest way to kick it off because it
3:10
Speaker 6: allows us to honor and remember those who have fallen
3:13
Speaker 6: and given us the lives that we have here. Man,
3:16
Speaker 6: it's incredible to do. It's an incredible kickoff. Generally speaking,
3:20
Speaker 6: the weather can be somewhat of a time. I think
3:21
Speaker 6: it's gonna be decent this weekend. And it is one
3:23
Speaker 6: of those as well, where you take off today to
3:28
Speaker 6: kick off the weekend, or you're leaving first thing smoking
3:33
Speaker 6: and you are really fooling them today.
3:35
Speaker 2: So I think there are.
3:36
Speaker 6: Some folks that, even if I did not think to
3:39
Speaker 6: do what Scott Dolphin did and have already put it
3:42
Speaker 6: into the back of my mind for myself to forget
3:45
Speaker 6: next year around this exact time, to also miss it
3:48
Speaker 6: and not do the exact same thing that he did.
3:50
Speaker 6: There's a lot of folks that are waking up going
3:52
Speaker 6: to work today smiling knowing this might be the least
3:55
Speaker 6: productive day they've had at work since the NCAA turk
3:59
Speaker 6: like a mental vccasion.
4:00
Speaker 2: It's a good.
4:01
Speaker 6: Mental ups day where this room or as my dad
4:07
Speaker 6: used to say, oh did I fool him today?
4:09
Speaker 2: Did I fool him today? I had him, I had
4:11
Speaker 2: them hooked.
4:12
Speaker 5: A vacation for ourselves, George, that's what you wanted, you know,
4:15
Speaker 5: something like that. And yeah, just one of those days
4:17
Speaker 5: when listen and we're not saying we're gonna do that.
4:20
Speaker 5: We're giving you three your greatest hours you're gonna ever hear.
4:23
Speaker 5: I mean, we're giving you it all. You know, We're
4:25
Speaker 5: gonna give one hundred percent every segment. We're not stealing money, right, Yeah,
4:28
Speaker 5: we're doing it. I mean, we're absolutely doing it. But
4:31
Speaker 5: that being said at eight o'clock, you know, it's it's
4:34
Speaker 5: first thing smoking, is what.
4:36
Speaker 2: What Billy said?
4:36
Speaker 5: You know?
4:37
Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely absolutely, So.
4:39
Speaker 5: I'll say, you know what, the We'll be giving it
4:42
Speaker 5: to you for three hours, three hours, and then it's
4:45
Speaker 5: Denny's time, and then we're gonna hit that grand slam.
4:47
Speaker 3: Right what he just said, We'll be giving it to
4:49
Speaker 3: you for three hours, then it's Denny's time. You celebrate
4:52
Speaker 3: a Grand Slam with a Grand Slam, is what you're saying.
4:54
Speaker 4: I don't know.
4:55
Speaker 6: This is now we're five minutes in and arm And
4:58
Speaker 6: said we're gonna be giving it to you about seve time.
5:00
Speaker 6: So we're gonna let you know we're giving it to
5:02
Speaker 6: you here today, no pause. Everything's coming up, you know,
5:05
Speaker 6: nineties again. You know, the Knicks are in the Eastern
5:07
Speaker 6: Conference finals. They're up two.
5:09
Speaker 2: Oh oh boy.
5:09
Speaker 4: You know it feels like you were ten years old again,
5:12
Speaker 4: you know, so let's go.
5:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate to say we predicted that.
5:15
Speaker 2: Now here's the thing.
5:17
Speaker 3: And again, being a smart and good looking listener to
5:19
Speaker 3: the program and being essention human being and a person
5:22
Speaker 3: who considers their opinions doesn't just fly off the handle.
5:26
Speaker 3: On the one hand, I want to say that the
5:28
Speaker 3: Calves are cooked and that that that I said it
5:32
Speaker 3: last night with Hunter and Denis Brousia. Oh the Sports Rounds.
5:35
Speaker 3: Thanks for watching, guys.
5:36
Speaker 4: They're in easter hamd brother Okay, but.
5:37
Speaker 3: I said that they were like, you hate to say
5:40
Speaker 3: it because I don't put a lot of stock in
5:41
Speaker 3: game ones, in a game, a seven game series, because
5:43
Speaker 3: you can look, you can get blown on game one.
5:44
Speaker 3: Look oral, it doesn't have a lot of bearing because
5:46
Speaker 3: there's a lot of real estate between.
5:48
Speaker 2: You and the end. But the way the Calves lost
5:50
Speaker 2: Game one, I thought.
5:50
Speaker 3: That was a series altering, franchise altering, potentially loss that
5:56
Speaker 3: they're going to look back on.
5:57
Speaker 2: And now they're down two.
5:59
Speaker 3: Oh, and I thought to myself, wef they don't win
6:01
Speaker 3: game two, they're cooked and clearly they don't have an
6:04
Speaker 3: answer for Brunson and that there's time to make adjustments.
6:07
Speaker 2: But that's the tough part. I don't know they got it.
6:08
Speaker 2: But the road of.
6:09
Speaker 3: Them looks, it looks bleak, and especially now Game three
6:12
Speaker 3: is basically an elimination game, because if you go down
6:14
Speaker 3: three oh and a series, you're cooked.
6:16
Speaker 2: And so if they can win that and then you
6:17
Speaker 2: gotta Even.
6:18
Speaker 3: If they get to two to two and have a
6:19
Speaker 3: breath of fresh air, they're going back to the garden.
6:21
Speaker 2: And I still like the Knicks now, but but they're
6:22
Speaker 2: back in the land.
6:23
Speaker 3: But here's the thing here, here's the thing. Like, intellectually
6:25
Speaker 3: it's like, well, Cleveland's cooked. I could see them getting
6:28
Speaker 3: blown out in game three and going down softly. But
6:31
Speaker 3: in the same time, I have to remind myself of
6:34
Speaker 3: when we were watching the Bucks on their quest to
6:36
Speaker 3: the championship, falling behind two oh in hopeless fashion twice
6:39
Speaker 3: and then thinking they were dead and we're shoveling dirt
6:42
Speaker 3: and I'm going, oh, this is great, Well what I
6:43
Speaker 3: gotta do now, and then they got up off the
6:45
Speaker 3: mat and won. So does Cleveland have the heart of
6:48
Speaker 3: a champion? I don't think so, but we'll see.
6:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, well what we are going to be able to
6:53
Speaker 6: find out, Drean. I'll be honest, they fought better than
6:56
Speaker 6: I thought they were going to last night, right, so,
6:58
Speaker 6: like at least early at least, and I think they
7:00
Speaker 6: ran out of gas similarly to Game one and in
7:04
Speaker 6: the overtime, and the pair of seven game series seemed
7:07
Speaker 6: to be taken a little bit of a toll on them.
7:08
Speaker 6: So I don't know the series goes long. I think
7:11
Speaker 6: it's a big problem for them. But you talk about
7:14
Speaker 6: the lessons the Bucks have taught us, I think the
7:15
Speaker 6: Game one lesson is a beautiful one that you learned
7:18
Speaker 6: from the Milwaukee Bucks because even after coming back from
7:22
Speaker 6: down to oh winning Game seven in Brooklyn, come back
7:25
Speaker 6: and inexplicably drop Game one to Trey Young and the
7:27
Speaker 6: Hawks at home, right, it just in egregious fashion where
7:32
Speaker 6: it looked like they were up seven with like two
7:33
Speaker 6: to golf. I'm not mistaken, right, And Trey Young just
7:35
Speaker 6: did whatever he wanted. He shot from anywhere on the
7:38
Speaker 6: on the floor and did whatever he wanted. And Mike
7:41
Speaker 6: Budenolzer teams had been putrid in game ones of series, so.
7:45
Speaker 2: They can be a little funny.
7:46
Speaker 6: I thought last night at least Cleveland showed a little
7:49
Speaker 6: bit of of intestinal fortitude and they got a little
7:52
Speaker 6: bit of something going with their bigs and then just
7:54
Speaker 6: went away with from it. After the first quarter, which
7:57
Speaker 6: was hilarious to see. But the Knicks are and and
8:02
Speaker 6: I don't know if you see it every single year
8:06
Speaker 6: every few years, they got the little bit of trips
8:09
Speaker 6: the team of Destiny on them, like they just they
8:11
Speaker 6: feel like they've got a little bit of the taste
8:13
Speaker 6: of inevitability right now. Albeit I don't think they're one
8:17
Speaker 6: of the best two teams, but you could very much
8:19
Speaker 6: see them getting through and winning one fluky game next
8:23
Speaker 6: round and then being able to pull out and win
8:27
Speaker 6: the thing in in seven in the finals, like I have,
8:30
Speaker 6: I had not thought of them as a legit finals
8:34
Speaker 6: championship team, but they just feel like they have a
8:37
Speaker 6: special sauce that might be able to get him over
8:39
Speaker 6: the hump.
8:39
Speaker 3: Yeah.
8:39
Speaker 4: And to Cameron's point when he was almost stephen A.
8:41
Speaker 5: Smith, I almost never think of them as a legit
8:44
Speaker 5: final team because they always find a way to screw
8:46
Speaker 5: it up.
8:47
Speaker 4: However, once Boston lost and.
8:49
Speaker 5: The Seas sort of parted for them a little bit,
8:52
Speaker 5: and they and they were able to figure things out
8:54
Speaker 5: and then start to dominate, you know, and the the
8:57
Speaker 5: Knicks start to dominate this playoffs and as started saying,
8:59
Speaker 5: oh okay, this does feel like a team that can
9:01
Speaker 5: make the finals, albeit probably lose in the finals, but
9:04
Speaker 5: at least make it to your point. Not one of
9:06
Speaker 5: the two best teams, Billy, but they're they're probably the best,
9:09
Speaker 5: you know in the East. Yes, this is probably their
9:11
Speaker 5: time now to make the finals. I don't see them
9:14
Speaker 5: fumbling the bag at this point. It would be pretty
9:16
Speaker 5: bad if they did. But I don't see them fumbling
9:18
Speaker 5: the bag to at least make it to the finals
9:20
Speaker 5: here and probably you know that that whole like Philadelphia
9:24
Speaker 5: against La Vibe, they might win a game that you know,
9:27
Speaker 5: when AI stepped over Tyron Lou. They might win a game,
9:30
Speaker 5: but that would be it, I think, in the finals
9:32
Speaker 5: for them. But that's kind of the vibe I'm getting
9:33
Speaker 5: now from the Knicks and the Garden Party and the
9:36
Speaker 5: fans in New York can finally get their Eastern Conference
9:39
Speaker 5: championship in this next week.
9:42
Speaker 4: I do anticipate it happening. How many games is the
9:45
Speaker 4: remaining question?
9:46
Speaker 2: That is the remaining question.
9:47
Speaker 3: Hey, you can reach us eight seven seven seven nine
9:50
Speaker 3: three with any questions that you may have. We kind
9:54
Speaker 3: of buried the lead because it's a big night tonight.
9:56
Speaker 3: Brewers Dodgers Bruce start a homestand Dodgers and Cardinals coming
9:59
Speaker 3: in a couple of cup clubs that are playing well,
10:03
Speaker 3: historic franchises, if you will.
10:05
Speaker 6: And the Cardinals, you want to talk about a team
10:07
Speaker 6: that's got got a nice little special sauce rolling. I'm
10:09
Speaker 6: rolling through them in the first two months. They are definitely,
10:12
Speaker 6: definitely like.
10:12
Speaker 3: Whereas Pittsburgh and Cincinnati have already kind of crashed back
10:16
Speaker 3: to earth, the Cardinals keep rolling and Cardinals come in
10:20
Speaker 3: behind the Dodgers. And tonight, of course, I don't know
10:24
Speaker 3: if they consulted Armine on this, but tonight is boy
10:27
Speaker 3: Band Night.
10:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's wild at the ballpark.
10:30
Speaker 3: The theme night theme boy band music, in game entertainment,
10:34
Speaker 3: and the special theme night. Tickets include a brew Crew
10:37
Speaker 3: boys T shirt boy z of course, yeah, so my wife,
10:40
Speaker 3: and then a postgame fire fireworks show. Now, my wife
10:43
Speaker 3: was so excited when the when the announcement came out
10:47
Speaker 3: of boy Band Night, that not only did we buy
10:50
Speaker 3: tickets immediately nice, we got the shirts doubled up in
10:55
Speaker 3: her size so that she could have two. Because as
10:57
Speaker 3: all as exciting as it I thought it was, I
11:01
Speaker 3: don't know that I was walking around with a boys
11:02
Speaker 3: band T shirt on with Christian Yellis, Bryce Terranging company
11:05
Speaker 3: on it sweet looking shirt thought, but it's it's gonna
11:09
Speaker 3: be a hot night at the ballpark here tonight and listen.
11:13
Speaker 3: I think you could very easily make American Family feel
11:17
Speaker 3: a little bit more of a raucous environment with the.
11:19
Speaker 2: Tunes that you play tonight.
11:21
Speaker 6: Maybe not so, but Freddie Freeman looks like a guy
11:24
Speaker 6: that likes a boy band or two. Mookie Betts has
11:27
Speaker 6: got some rhythms, so I bet he'll be enjoying a
11:28
Speaker 6: little bit of the Backstreet Boys. Maybe we throw the
11:31
Speaker 6: Boys in Blue off their game just a little bit.
11:33
Speaker 6: Joey Ortiz definitely seems like somebody that is built for
11:36
Speaker 6: boy band night. So there's it's gonna be an exciting one.
11:40
Speaker 6: But Garrett Mitchell is a boy you know what, didn't
11:42
Speaker 6: you say? Garrett Mitchell, he's like the Matt and a Idol.
11:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair.
11:47
Speaker 4: He's Bryan Latrelle, He's the Timberlink.
11:49
Speaker 6: He had the dances going on with with Haleians and
11:51
Speaker 6: TikTok videos.
11:52
Speaker 2: That's fair. I feel like he's the one.
11:54
Speaker 5: And then, like you know, Bryce Terrang is the strong,
11:56
Speaker 5: silent type that gives you no expression in the back,
11:58
Speaker 5: you know.
11:59
Speaker 6: Sales, trying to act like he doesn't like any of
12:00
Speaker 6: the songs, but in all reality, he's singing out in
12:03
Speaker 6: right field pretty much everything.
12:04
Speaker 5: It'll be a fun night at the ballpark with a
12:05
Speaker 5: boy band situation. We're already going Tuesday. We're going next Tuesday.
12:09
Speaker 5: So we didn't we didn't up going tonight, although the
12:11
Speaker 5: shirt looks pretty cool as a smart move by by
12:13
Speaker 5: Alli there to get.
12:14
Speaker 4: One of the rotation in case ones in the wash.
12:16
Speaker 6: Yeah you said, by the way, you don't want that one, right, Yeah, No,
12:21
Speaker 6: I think we're good on that.
12:21
Speaker 4: We're good on that one.
12:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
12:23
Speaker 3: So the weekend starts with boy band night with the
12:25
Speaker 3: fireworks show tonight.
12:27
Speaker 2: That's that's kind of cool.
12:28
Speaker 6: It doesn't look like rain is going to impede the
12:31
Speaker 6: fireworks show, like there was a little bit of worry
12:33
Speaker 6: about earlier on in the week so it should be
12:35
Speaker 6: a should be an exciting one there.
12:36
Speaker 3: And on Saturday giving away a red, white and blue
12:38
Speaker 3: patriotic brewer's hat for twenty fives and to show.
12:42
Speaker 6: Up I'm a fan of that one. Rock was a
12:44
Speaker 6: big fan of that hat. On the broadcast, he was
12:47
Speaker 6: he was digging it Rock digs him some Memorial Day. Also,
12:50
Speaker 6: let you know that, Vinnie, you're not touching this thing again.
12:52
Speaker 3: Sorry, family members who have served Sunday Brewers pennant kids
12:56
Speaker 3: giveaway first five thousand ticket advance under fourteen get a
12:59
Speaker 3: pennant on Sunday.
13:01
Speaker 2: I like that.
13:01
Speaker 5: I mean the pennant. This is something that's gone by
13:03
Speaker 5: the wayside over the years.
13:05
Speaker 3: And then on Monday, Oh, they got all kinds of
13:08
Speaker 3: stuff going on, but it's our hot Dog.
13:09
Speaker 6: Day, which is the headliner, rightfully, So yeah, absolutely dollar
13:14
Speaker 6: hot Dog Day draws numbers to the ballpark also Sunday,
13:19
Speaker 6: I believe, according to our friend Hunter Bombguard on his
13:22
Speaker 6: social media's at Hunter be on air, Packers and Brewers
13:27
Speaker 6: fans can unite when Matt Lafleur throws out the first pitch,
13:31
Speaker 6: any Bears still sucked you out? Going on, Well, Matt
13:34
Speaker 6: Lafloor runs out or will they keep it to a
13:36
Speaker 6: go pack?
13:36
Speaker 2: Oh?
13:37
Speaker 5: If we do it, it's only because the Bears have
13:39
Speaker 5: been doing it to the Chicago fans, I should say,
13:42
Speaker 5: have been doing it to us, so you know, we're
13:44
Speaker 5: clapping back. But other than that, that's the only reason
13:47
Speaker 5: we're not in their.
13:47
Speaker 4: Heads that you get.
13:49
Speaker 5: I just had to I to clarify that because as
13:51
Speaker 5: any good sports rivalry now it's all passive aggressive. You
13:54
Speaker 5: have to trip over yourself to remind everybody you're not
13:56
Speaker 5: thinking about it.
13:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's them that care more about it. Would there
14:01
Speaker 6: possibly be, as I saw some in the comments on
14:04
Speaker 6: on Hunter's immediate post, any smattering of booze expected?
14:08
Speaker 5: That's interesting question. Well, people are always upset with Packer's coach.
14:13
Speaker 5: There's always people upset with the floor, so that would
14:15
Speaker 5: be pretty interesting to actually hear booze.
14:17
Speaker 6: I think you'll be drowned out, but I do believe
14:19
Speaker 6: you'll get You'll get a couple in the forty thousand
14:22
Speaker 6: potentially that.
14:23
Speaker 5: I think it's more likely you wouldn't get audible booze,
14:25
Speaker 5: but you'd get like the big uncle energy and dad
14:27
Speaker 5: energy of you know, while I throwing on you know,
14:29
Speaker 5: if this guy spent more time watching film and coming
14:32
Speaker 5: up with game plans and hanging out at the ballpark
14:35
Speaker 5: and drinking with Louke Holmes, maybe we'd be better than
14:37
Speaker 5: the seventh seed.
14:38
Speaker 4: You know, you're gonna have.
14:39
Speaker 2: That and like get a few of them marks.
14:41
Speaker 5: Everyone's dad and everyone's uncle is gonna give you that,
14:44
Speaker 5: you know, and maybe throwing.
14:45
Speaker 2: The big ape coach, maybe not throwing that big hook.
14:48
Speaker 6: Maybe we should be figuring out out of throwing safety
14:50
Speaker 6: blitz in there outside.
14:52
Speaker 5: I guess no one's gonna hold them accountable for that pitch.
14:54
Speaker 5: You know, you know, you know the old a word,
14:57
Speaker 5: you know you love accountable. Man, I saw that one
15:00
Speaker 5: flowing around again.
15:01
Speaker 2: That was always fires me up.
15:04
Speaker 3: Yeah eight seven seven, seven nine four one ninety seven
15:07
Speaker 3: three Yeah, coach, coach misses one.
15:09
Speaker 2: What was the problem out there? Well, it starts with me,
15:11
Speaker 2: It starts with me. Framing was good. I just I
15:13
Speaker 2: just missed my spot.
15:15
Speaker 3: Funny thinking about that, Like, think about the arc of
15:20
Speaker 3: Matt Lafleur. Now he's gonna be you know, he's gonna
15:22
Speaker 3: be down in Milwaukee hanging out. He was shotgun on
15:25
Speaker 3: beers with the boys with Lake Luke Holmbs. And this
15:28
Speaker 3: was a guy who we wondered if he was coaching
15:30
Speaker 3: for a sp well some wondered if he was coaching
15:32
Speaker 3: for his job at certain points last season. And then
15:34
Speaker 3: he gets the extension and then now we had the
15:36
Speaker 3: reports of guys weren't.
15:38
Speaker 2: Happy with their roles and all that is this?
15:39
Speaker 3: Now, is this a calculated pr effort to ingratiate himself
15:43
Speaker 3: and show up with the players and shotgun a beer?
15:45
Speaker 3: This was obviously, it's a very good question. This is
15:48
Speaker 3: obviously it's I don't know if it's not out of
15:50
Speaker 3: the norm, but for the floor.
15:54
Speaker 6: A little bit though, right, Like I guess, because I
15:57
Speaker 6: would say he would always have been at least open
16:00
Speaker 6: to conversation or open to being a little bit more
16:04
Speaker 6: of the fun guy. Right the first year he's playing basketball,
16:06
Speaker 6: popping his achilles, playing hoops with the guys. But get
16:09
Speaker 6: back to a little bit of that after you've been
16:11
Speaker 6: in the job for almost a decade. I imagine that
16:13
Speaker 6: could grizzly you up a little bit, take you away
16:16
Speaker 6: from the fun action for a few years.
16:18
Speaker 2: I would think so. So that's an interesting deal.
16:22
Speaker 6: Also with young kids, he does get to look cool, right,
16:26
Speaker 6: like get to throw out the first pitch. That's an
16:29
Speaker 6: easy yes, no matter how many times you get it right,
16:31
Speaker 6: you got it, I mean, I think, George, I gotta
16:33
Speaker 6: imagine Jordan Love makes the appearance just about every year,
16:37
Speaker 6: especially if he's cool sitting in the stands like he
16:39
Speaker 6: was this year. Now maybe if he's not sitting, if
16:41
Speaker 6: he gets put in a suite, he'll definitely be here
16:43
Speaker 6: every single year. But Lafleur likes to find the opportunities
16:48
Speaker 6: to bring the boys down and give the OTAs a
16:51
Speaker 6: day off and flex a little bit of the old cannon.
16:54
Speaker 6: I imagine the old quarterbacks excited to be able to
16:57
Speaker 6: get down there. But some of growing with the young
17:00
Speaker 6: team is being able to I was listening to a
17:02
Speaker 6: really really cool conversation that the bus with the Boys
17:04
Speaker 6: guys had with Sean McVay, and he was extremely open
17:08
Speaker 6: drue about how different he is now than he was
17:12
Speaker 6: even three years ago in the job. Then five and
17:15
Speaker 6: seven years ago when he was thirty years old getting
17:18
Speaker 6: a head coaching job. You're going to change and you're
17:21
Speaker 6: gonna evolve. The floor wasn't too far behind. What was
17:23
Speaker 6: he thirty seven, thirty eight when he gets hired. So like,
17:26
Speaker 6: you're gonna go through some ebbs and flows. But I
17:29
Speaker 6: do wonder if the rigidity around him maybe gets softened
17:34
Speaker 6: a little bit and you find that you do have
17:37
Speaker 6: to be a little bit calculated as to when you
17:39
Speaker 6: let the guys in a little bit more, because especially
17:41
Speaker 6: the ever changing player that they're coaching. That personal relationship
17:45
Speaker 6: and the caring and the fun factor. It's got to
17:49
Speaker 6: be there because other college coaches have changed around young athletes.
17:52
Speaker 6: So once they get into the NFL, not that you've
17:54
Speaker 6: got to completely acquiesce to them, but I do imagine
17:56
Speaker 6: there's a little bit of that gotta be.
17:59
Speaker 2: Like, there's got to be a.
18:00
Speaker 6: Little bit of openness, even more so because the players demanded,
18:05
Speaker 6: and it's gonna be as such as culture shock to
18:08
Speaker 6: some coming when, as McVeigh joked about, I think their
18:12
Speaker 6: whole fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh round, all those guys took.
18:16
Speaker 2: Pay cuts coming to the NFL.
18:18
Speaker 6: It becomes a little bit of a different different life
18:20
Speaker 6: than they were living ten fifteen years ago.
18:22
Speaker 3: No doubt, we're looking forward to your interaction today. This
18:24
Speaker 3: is one of those ask us anything Fridays. We're not
18:26
Speaker 3: gonna mail it in, but we're gonna do a pretty
18:28
Speaker 3: good approximation.
18:30
Speaker 2: We listen, We're just gonna weigh it up on the scale,
18:33
Speaker 2: send it out, see if it works.
18:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, Because uh, well, Burrs didn't play, We had the
18:37
Speaker 3: NBA to talk about. We had the shocking news last
18:42
Speaker 3: night about Kyle Busch brutally, brutally said, well, absolutely, absolutely
18:47
Speaker 3: shocking news. We'll talk about that as we move forward
18:49
Speaker 3: as well, because I don't I would confess all the time.
18:53
Speaker 3: NASCAR and I kind of pro wrestling, two things kind
18:57
Speaker 3: of outside my orbit, my my sphere.
19:00
Speaker 2: You're of my I.
19:01
Speaker 3: Don't have the bandwidth to follow either. And but what
19:04
Speaker 3: I do know, and I'm going to test my theory
19:06
Speaker 3: about Kyle Busch with people, and I want to know
19:09
Speaker 3: from our hardcore fans who love the left turns and
19:11
Speaker 3: the bull ring. And Billy's been to a NASCAR event,
19:13
Speaker 3: been to a copy, so I want to ask because
19:17
Speaker 3: this it is a set and this was a shocking
19:20
Speaker 3: you know, this is you hate to like make comparisons
19:23
Speaker 3: of this level, but this was like the Kobe News
19:25
Speaker 3: kind of what yeah, very very so not about it
19:29
Speaker 3: when I was at an event last night that I
19:30
Speaker 3: will also tell you about that. Nudge, nudge, wink wink.
19:35
Speaker 3: We're just getting rolling. It is the Friday edition. It's
19:38
Speaker 3: a getaway day edition. It's a Friday into a holiday weekend.
19:41
Speaker 3: Let's have some fun together today. You're in the huddle.
19:43
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
19:51
Speaker 2: Friday edition of the huddle.
19:53
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine, twenty, Milwaukee ten seventy, Madison
19:56
Speaker 3: everywhere on that. iHeart app Billy. What are you chuckling about?
19:59
Speaker 2: I'm chuckling at.
20:00
Speaker 6: I don't know what what level of competition this is,
20:03
Speaker 6: but Sports Center showing the goaltender for some I'm thinking,
20:07
Speaker 6: EHL Championship. My man hoists this cup up three full
20:13
Speaker 6: polls to be able to thing that pull that thing
20:15
Speaker 6: over his head and drew. As he's proudly holding that
20:19
Speaker 6: championship trophy over his head.
20:22
Speaker 2: My man busts his stuff worse.
20:25
Speaker 6: Than anything I've seen in a long time, almost just
20:28
Speaker 6: cracks his head open onto the ice, but miraculously saves
20:32
Speaker 6: the cup. That's what this time of year is all about.
20:34
Speaker 6: You got to protect that cup at all costs. In Montreal,
20:37
Speaker 6: trying to bring the Canadians even closer to another Cup
20:40
Speaker 6: for the first time in thirty plus years.
20:43
Speaker 4: Old Cole Calawfield scoring a goal. I saw that instantly.
20:46
Speaker 4: They jumped out of him early.
20:47
Speaker 2: That was a big win for them.
20:48
Speaker 5: Alexey Menachuk is the one that dropped the trophy and
20:51
Speaker 5: he is playing for Locomotive Iaroslova the Continental Hockey league.
20:55
Speaker 4: That's of course in Russia.
20:56
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, that's the league. Sweet looking trophy.
21:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty cool.
21:01
Speaker 2: It's an impressive looking trophy.
21:02
Speaker 4: It's like a team who Stanley Cup. Almost.
21:05
Speaker 2: It was a little bit like it.
21:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, like if you got a toy Stanley Cup from
21:08
Speaker 5: somebody and you know it was packed in that house.
21:11
Speaker 4: It's like ten people in the stands.
21:12
Speaker 2: There was crazy, strange, strange. All right, you can reach
21:14
Speaker 2: us eight seven seven seven A four one ninety seventye.
21:17
Speaker 3: Getting any comments on the YouTube's we were talking about
21:19
Speaker 3: the stunning news of Kyle Busch's passing two.
21:22
Speaker 2: Time Cup Serious champion.
21:23
Speaker 3: He won more across all the platforms than anybody forty
21:26
Speaker 3: one years old.
21:27
Speaker 2: Just a shocking, tragic thing.
21:29
Speaker 3: Like the word that I heard and it got to
21:32
Speaker 3: me kind of as it was breaking last night.
21:34
Speaker 2: Someone told me. I was like, wow, stunning it.
21:37
Speaker 3: He stepped out of a simulator on Wednesday and was
21:40
Speaker 3: disoriented and like taking to the hospital and then they
21:42
Speaker 3: announced yesterday like he won't be racing this weekend.
21:45
Speaker 6: His family put out a statement with you Yeah, yesterday
21:48
Speaker 6: morning around like ten ten thirty put out a statement
21:51
Speaker 6: saying that he was going through a serious illness which
21:54
Speaker 6: required hospitalization, and that he would be out for this
21:58
Speaker 6: weekend's festivities, because again, this is a it's a huge
22:00
Speaker 6: weekend in motorsports. Memorial Day weekend is a massive weekend
22:04
Speaker 6: in motorsports because you get the d five hundred.
22:07
Speaker 2: Obviously, Co Cola six hundred.
22:09
Speaker 6: At Daytona five hundred at the Daytona International Speedway, which
22:12
Speaker 6: is a different type of race, and he was gonna
22:16
Speaker 6: miss the entirety of it. He won the Truck Series
22:20
Speaker 6: race last week, and in the interview, Drew just almost
22:26
Speaker 6: like catches himself from choking up in the statement of
22:31
Speaker 6: She's the reporter asks him, why do you celebrate these
22:35
Speaker 6: so much? Or why are these so monumental? And why
22:37
Speaker 6: do they feel so good each time? It's because you
22:39
Speaker 6: never know when the last one is gonna be And
22:42
Speaker 6: he has like a pause and catches himself like, which
22:45
Speaker 6: I know all too well right now going through some
22:47
Speaker 6: tough stuff and you don't know what There's a lot
22:49
Speaker 6: of forecasting, a lot of wondering, a lot of questioning online,
22:53
Speaker 6: you know, had he possibly been sick there. It's a
22:55
Speaker 6: lot of people with great interactions with him over the
22:58
Speaker 6: last couple of weeks at events, at autograph signings, and
23:01
Speaker 6: then like the guy looked far from sick. He had
23:03
Speaker 6: a bit of a sinus thing that was going on,
23:06
Speaker 6: and there's a lot of speculation in question to it,
23:09
Speaker 6: which happens when you don't have answers, and it is
23:12
Speaker 6: so shocking.
23:13
Speaker 5: He is.
23:15
Speaker 6: There's a lot of ways that you could describe his
23:19
Speaker 6: racing ability and his competitiveness, but he was the ultimate
23:23
Speaker 6: in a singular person sport, the greatest. If he's on
23:28
Speaker 6: your team, you absolutely love him. If he's on the
23:30
Speaker 6: other team, that was freaking despise him. And he was
23:35
Speaker 6: so so fun to splice into every single race, any
23:41
Speaker 6: single event. You knew that there was going to be
23:44
Speaker 6: energy when Kyle Busch walked out, whether it was good
23:47
Speaker 6: or bad, whether you loved watching him drive that Peanut
23:49
Speaker 6: M and M car for so long or you just
23:52
Speaker 6: hated his absolute guts like my mother did for so long,
23:55
Speaker 6: even she's yesterday was was was taken aback and stunned
23:59
Speaker 6: like it was. It was one of those where people
24:01
Speaker 6: love to hate him so much that you can't almost
24:04
Speaker 6: fathom what the races are gonna look like without him. Now, Yeah, nobody.
24:08
Speaker 5: Nobody denied his talent though as a racer, he was
24:10
Speaker 5: a fantastic obviously racer.
24:12
Speaker 2: Pure talent. He won a lot, you know that.
24:14
Speaker 5: And obviously I always looked at those type of things
24:17
Speaker 5: individual sports like NASCAR as in a way with pro wrestling.
24:21
Speaker 4: You had to have heels, you had to have And.
24:25
Speaker 3: That was exactly my thought is like he slipped in
24:28
Speaker 3: like Dale Earnhardt had that too, Jeff Gordon, love him
24:31
Speaker 3: or hate him, right.
24:32
Speaker 5: Totally, those guys made the sport better. He took the
24:34
Speaker 5: mantle of that.
24:35
Speaker 3: And then he was you know the post race fights,
24:38
Speaker 3: the feuds, getting kicked off or leaving different motors teams,
24:43
Speaker 3: you know, and so he was he pinged around. So
24:46
Speaker 3: he was he was the I don't know like I
24:49
Speaker 3: saw him and I again two sports I don't follow,
24:51
Speaker 3: but he was like a Bobby Heenan type guy, you know,
24:54
Speaker 3: like one of those dudes who you know, just an
24:57
Speaker 3: incredible successful performer, agitated a lot of people.
25:01
Speaker 4: Yep, great racer agitator.
25:04
Speaker 3: You're right, you either loved rooting for him or love
25:07
Speaker 3: rooting against him, but either way you were rooting right, yes,
25:09
Speaker 3: had you like you know.
25:11
Speaker 6: His nickname was rowdy, and I think in honor of
25:13
Speaker 6: there's another movie character, but I always thought of Roddy
25:16
Speaker 6: Piper because that was the exact exact same way for
25:19
Speaker 6: rowdy Roddy Piper of he would be in your stuff
25:23
Speaker 6: and in your kitchen all day long. But he was
25:26
Speaker 6: so good I got Boss Dobbler to sent his picture
25:28
Speaker 6: of them. Him with Kyle Busch in two thousand and
25:31
Speaker 6: five at the Milwaukee Mile. W always liked his aggressive
25:34
Speaker 6: style and his no bs attitude gone far too soon
25:36
Speaker 6: and it's just it's it's stunningly and shockingly sad.
25:40
Speaker 2: Uh.
25:41
Speaker 6: He just posted earlier this week again when he won
25:43
Speaker 6: this past weekend. It was his son, Brexton's eleven year
25:48
Speaker 6: eleventh birthday, and his son is an up and coming
25:52
Speaker 6: young go kart and small model racer, and he he
25:58
Speaker 6: just lived it, dude. And from every and all the
26:00
Speaker 6: interviews that I've heard of him and listen and been
26:03
Speaker 6: able to listen to, he dug the heel role like
26:09
Speaker 6: he saw it in He saw the possibility, saw the
26:13
Speaker 6: whole in racing, saw the possibility in the void that
26:17
Speaker 6: earned her kind of left of that was like I'll
26:20
Speaker 6: be your guy. Wait, we need somebody to mix it up,
26:23
Speaker 6: and I need somebody to mix it up.
26:25
Speaker 2: I'll help you.
26:26
Speaker 6: And it's good for the sport when that kind of
26:28
Speaker 6: attractiveness and aggressiveness breeds questions and excitement and potential havoc.
26:36
Speaker 4: And you gotta have and.
26:37
Speaker 5: To come up in that world, you know, you got
26:39
Speaker 5: to have confidence, you got to have brashness, you have
26:41
Speaker 5: to have fearlessness. And I think that attitude probably came
26:44
Speaker 5: with a little bit of that. He was of, you know,
26:47
Speaker 5: one of those guys that when he came up, I mean,
26:49
Speaker 5: he was super young, but he caught the attention of everybody.
26:53
Speaker 5: You know, he had that supreme kind of talent from
26:56
Speaker 5: a young age and he and he.
26:58
Speaker 4: Brought that conference with me. I think he saw that.
27:00
Speaker 5: As the soul of racing in a lot of ways,
27:02
Speaker 5: the NASCAR soul of like you know, the old Rubb
27:05
Speaker 5: and his race and the intimidator obviously, and all those legacies.
27:09
Speaker 5: And he was kind of probably in the back of
27:11
Speaker 5: his mind trying to you know, carry that on a
27:12
Speaker 5: little bit. And he wasn't afraid to mix it up,
27:15
Speaker 5: which I'm sure endeared a lot of people to him
27:17
Speaker 5: as much as didn't it was one of those things
27:19
Speaker 5: though if you owned a team, you he might annoy
27:22
Speaker 5: from time to time, but you want him in your.
27:23
Speaker 4: Car during the race.
27:25
Speaker 5: You wanted you got him driving your car during the
27:28
Speaker 5: race because he was so successful in such a talented driver.
27:31
Speaker 2: So just a shocking loss for the community, and.
27:33
Speaker 3: So people people are looking for like always explanations and
27:36
Speaker 3: stuff and all summer connecting dots because it was a
27:39
Speaker 3: couple of months ago that he had an accident at
27:41
Speaker 3: home and suffered a severe cut on his leg a
27:44
Speaker 3: twenty four stitch, Yeah, gashing his leg from like apparently
27:47
Speaker 3: like fell out.
27:48
Speaker 2: I heard ladder, I heard stool.
27:50
Speaker 3: He was changing batteries and a smoke detector and the
27:52
Speaker 3: stool broke or something and had this big cut and
27:56
Speaker 3: then twenty four stitches and stuff, and you think, oh,
27:58
Speaker 3: that's no big deal, right, but the people are saying, oh,
28:02
Speaker 3: that that might have been. Then he reported that cold
28:04
Speaker 3: in the race at Walking Glenn, like you said, really
28:06
Speaker 3: and folks are winning. Is it's some kind of like
28:08
Speaker 3: blood infection or sepsis or some kind of thing related
28:11
Speaker 3: to the big cut that he had or sometimes things
28:15
Speaker 3: like that lead to pulmonary embolisms. I'm no doctor, I'm
28:18
Speaker 3: no medical examiner, but people are always they're trying to
28:21
Speaker 3: connect the dots.
28:21
Speaker 2: And it's like, because it just shocks.
28:23
Speaker 3: You when a forty one year old guy at the
28:24
Speaker 3: peak of his powers.
28:26
Speaker 6: And and it's just the questions people have so many
28:30
Speaker 6: of them, and nobody has answers right now. They'll there'll
28:33
Speaker 6: be a time and hopefully something positive can come out
28:37
Speaker 6: of it where you know, some thoughts of and and
28:40
Speaker 6: this is this is true of anything. But guys a
28:43
Speaker 6: lot of times go without thinking that something is wrong.
28:47
Speaker 6: Like our friend Mike will talk about it time and
28:49
Speaker 6: time again in his work with the Heart Foundation of
28:53
Speaker 6: Cardiology that man, you don't need to be proud. If
28:57
Speaker 6: you're feeling something and something's off, go and get get checked,
29:00
Speaker 6: get it looked at, whether or not it's absolutely nothing
29:04
Speaker 6: or you know, it could lead to you finding out
29:08
Speaker 6: that there's there's something waiting and somewhat of a ticking
29:11
Speaker 6: time bomb, and.
29:12
Speaker 2: No one knows.
29:12
Speaker 6: I mean, I saw a couple of people say that
29:14
Speaker 6: it was a sinus thing that was underreported as well.
29:17
Speaker 2: They could have led us.
29:18
Speaker 6: I'll wait for every all the medical examiners to come
29:20
Speaker 6: out with it but it is a it's a moment, man,
29:23
Speaker 6: where you just hug your people and realize that this
29:25
Speaker 6: life is not promised at all. And this weekend, walking
29:29
Speaker 6: into Memorial Day, you can think about it and be
29:31
Speaker 6: even more reverent for it. But uh, you, you think
29:35
Speaker 6: that all of these moments in life are ahead of us,
29:39
Speaker 6: and if you don't soak in and enjoy each one, man,
29:43
Speaker 6: they're gonna fly right by you.
29:44
Speaker 2: And you never know when the last one's coming.
29:46
Speaker 5: Well, said Billy, I mean, you know, nothing is promised
29:48
Speaker 5: in this world to anybody, and these are the stark,
29:50
Speaker 5: unfortunate reminders we have from time to time. And I
29:53
Speaker 5: think for a lot of people, probably on the outside,
29:55
Speaker 5: look at a guy like him, you know, a NASCAR star,
29:58
Speaker 5: probably it looks like he ha everything, you know, And
30:01
Speaker 5: you said, you say to yourself, wow, boy, it would
30:03
Speaker 5: be great.
30:04
Speaker 4: You know, he has everything.
30:05
Speaker 5: But it's some things you can't buy, you know, and
30:07
Speaker 5: some things you can't guarantee. And it's one of those
30:09
Speaker 5: things where every day is a gift because you don't.
30:11
Speaker 4: Know what's gonna happen.
30:13
Speaker 5: And it does give that perspective a little bit to uh. Well,
30:17
Speaker 5: and you said, Billy, you know, hug your clothes ones
30:19
Speaker 5: a little tighter because it gives you a reminder of
30:22
Speaker 5: what things are important in life.
30:23
Speaker 2: And having everything Arman.
30:25
Speaker 6: And then also like I saw this from from a
30:27
Speaker 6: number of different people, and growing up, my dad watches
30:31
Speaker 6: every single race and and my mom loves every single race.
30:34
Speaker 6: And Kyle Busch was one of our favorites that dislike
30:36
Speaker 6: because he was fun to dislike. There's also like an
30:39
Speaker 6: air of and you know, Wisconsin's on. Matt Kenseith has
30:43
Speaker 6: this for a lot of people that you know, you
30:46
Speaker 6: you get gravitated towards quarterbacks and running backs and point
30:52
Speaker 6: guards and and three hoole hitters and and they can
30:55
Speaker 6: become role models and and for guys that love sports,
30:57
Speaker 6: they're almost superheroes. When you watch race car drivers going
31:02
Speaker 6: one hundred and eighty one hundred and ninety miles an hour,
31:04
Speaker 6: flying through smoke, whipping through the track and being able
31:08
Speaker 6: to walk away from these incredible, just mangled messes of Rex,
31:12
Speaker 6: there's a little bit of a superhero thought that gets
31:17
Speaker 6: cloaked over him. And I think that's another tough part
31:19
Speaker 6: of it here, where you almost look at this sport
31:24
Speaker 6: that it breeds and you know builds superheroes, and that
31:27
Speaker 6: dude was a hero while also being a great villain
31:31
Speaker 6: like there is that that's the other part of it,
31:33
Speaker 6: where he was a phenomenal dude. Everybody that had interactions
31:37
Speaker 6: with him, even the guys that had like great rivalries
31:39
Speaker 6: with him last night, almost felt bad putting it out,
31:43
Speaker 6: but said, he made me so much better and I
31:46
Speaker 6: enjoyed our interactions so much more because of how intense
31:51
Speaker 6: he was.
31:51
Speaker 2: Like it was.
31:52
Speaker 6: That was a it was a weird duality where you
31:54
Speaker 6: saw so many guys struggling with Wow, I hated this
31:58
Speaker 6: guy for so long, competitive felcossally, but I don't know
32:02
Speaker 6: what our whole community is gonna be like without him.
32:04
Speaker 6: That's a that's a wild, wild.
32:06
Speaker 5: Moment, especially because that community knows everybody. They all the
32:09
Speaker 5: families know each other. And that's immediately where you go
32:11
Speaker 5: and you think about and your heart breaks for is
32:13
Speaker 5: the people close to them that you know all all
32:17
Speaker 5: of a sudden are left without him and have to
32:20
Speaker 5: try to process and make sense of something they'll never
32:22
Speaker 5: be able to make sense out of.
32:23
Speaker 4: And I think that's the hard part for a lot
32:25
Speaker 4: of people when you.
32:26
Speaker 5: See somebody that was you know, you drive a car
32:28
Speaker 5: that fast, there's got to be you're seemingly and you
32:31
Speaker 5: feel invincible, you feel those type of things. And to
32:34
Speaker 5: see this happen to somebody, that happened so young. I
32:37
Speaker 5: think we all in life sometimes try and make sense
32:39
Speaker 5: of it. And that's why there's always so much, you know,
32:41
Speaker 5: searching for cause and reason and we have to be
32:44
Speaker 5: able to make sense of it somehow, and sometimes you can't.
32:46
Speaker 5: And that's just the and that's just the unfl you know,
32:49
Speaker 5: the unfair reality of life that it gives you sometimes.
32:53
Speaker 5: So nothing is promised, and all you can do is
32:56
Speaker 5: take take every moment and appreciate it for what it's
32:58
Speaker 5: worth and try and have the person what really matters, right,
33:01
Speaker 5: And we when we get reminded in these moments, so
33:04
Speaker 5: very sad to see an icon of the sport.
33:06
Speaker 4: No doubt he'll be remembered.
33:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, and in the middle of a career too, that's
33:10
Speaker 3: even right in the middle more shocking.
33:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's where like you you mentioned the Kobe uh
33:14
Speaker 6: and it's it's not like a comparison, but a model
33:17
Speaker 6: or a thought back to it. It brings you back
33:20
Speaker 6: to that moment because like that's that's the caliber of
33:24
Speaker 6: star in that sport that you're talking about, right, Like,
33:28
Speaker 6: I mean a generation's best of all time. Uh, but
33:32
Speaker 6: in the midst of his career is just it's it's stunning,
33:35
Speaker 6: it's shocking, and you just pray and think of the
33:39
Speaker 6: family because yeah, they got young kids, man, and uh.
33:44
Speaker 2: There was a there was a lot of thought last night.
33:46
Speaker 6: There was a lot of those moments and a lot
33:47
Speaker 6: of sitting back just realizing like, uh, that's a night
33:51
Speaker 6: to put your kids to bed, that's a night to
33:54
Speaker 6: sit back and think about it and enjoy uh, every
33:58
Speaker 6: moment because you just never know who's enjoying their last
34:02
Speaker 6: one and what people are going through. And guys, if
34:05
Speaker 6: you have anything going on, just go get looked at,
34:07
Speaker 6: go get checked theres there's there's nothing against a couple
34:10
Speaker 6: of minutes and it'll it. It can change and save
34:13
Speaker 6: your life. So hopefully that's it. Lastly, it can it
34:16
Speaker 6: can save someone.
34:17
Speaker 4: What is that Billy.
34:17
Speaker 5: His last tweet was a happy worth to do his
34:19
Speaker 5: son Brex and Bush and it just breaks your heart
34:22
Speaker 5: to see it. You know, your mom and I are
34:23
Speaker 5: so proud of what you're turning out to be the
34:24
Speaker 5: best knut and out the track. Amaze this every day.

Speaker 3: second floor, but there was another like maybe there's a
39:26
Speaker 3: vi P within the v P, but this older stopped

39:36
Speaker 3: a security guy stepped on and went up to the
39:38
Speaker 3: second floor to do his media obligations and stuff. So
39:40
Speaker 3: he was moving around the building. So right away the
39:43
Speaker 3: first person I see is like Christian Yellich the.
39:45
Speaker 2: Right person to see event.
39:46
Speaker 3: The first person I actually saw was our friend Andy

Speaker 2: Over the place. It's a well organized event.
40:04
Speaker 3: They do a pretty good job, uh running it, even
40:06
Speaker 3: though it's kind of run Christian and his family and
40:09
Speaker 3: there's out of stage.
40:10
Speaker 2: Can you say there's a lot of cooks in the kitchen?
40:12
Speaker 2: Not a lot, but it's a big event.
40:15
Speaker 3: And the venue i'd never been to, so uh being
40:18
Speaker 3: at Landmark Credit Union was kind of cool. If you've
40:19
Speaker 3: been to the Sylvian Madison, it's similar. I think it's
40:22
Speaker 3: a little bigger and it's ah and as we speak,
40:24
Speaker 3: there there you go. There's a film of Christian from
40:27
Speaker 3: last night. Now last year we broadcast from the event
40:30
Speaker 3: and the run up and Christian drop by and that
40:32
Speaker 3: was cool. But I got to see my friends Katie
40:34
Speaker 3: and Lindsay Line and Coogle. Uh, and their dad Dick
40:37
Speaker 3: was there, so I got to talk to him, spent
40:38
Speaker 3: time talking to David.
40:39
Speaker 6: Gruber, Rob elbows Man, Pie's everywhere.
40:44
Speaker 2: It was just fun to hang out and not have
40:46
Speaker 2: to work.
40:46
Speaker 3: But it was funny because, Uh, Katie Lining Cool is like, so.
40:50
Speaker 2: You you're here with no responsibilities at all. I'm like, yeah,
40:53
Speaker 2: it's pretty nice. I have no responsibilities.
40:56
Speaker 6: I don't did you notice anybody looking at you like, hey,
40:59
Speaker 6: why are you you not working? Or hey, no, I
41:02
Speaker 6: gotta be careful around there because this might be salooting around.
41:06
Speaker 4: Maybe our show will be sponsored by them soon.
41:07
Speaker 3: Well then always right, you know, Well it's one of
41:11
Speaker 3: those if you know, you know, because I had a
41:12
Speaker 3: couple of people say like, aren't you going to bed soon?
41:15
Speaker 2: I'm like yeah, as a matter of fact, they're listening,
41:18
Speaker 2: they're out there. I won't be seeing the Encore, I'll
41:20
Speaker 2: tell you that much. So I didn't.
41:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw the Nicotines also have played this event
41:24
Speaker 3: like three years in a row. I think it's something
41:26
Speaker 3: that's friends of Christian And then that Isaac Slade from
41:29
Speaker 3: the Fray came out with a full bando paid Uh.
41:32
Speaker 3: Some of his music, and then I had to dip
41:34
Speaker 3: because I couldn't hang around for Jaco and because we
41:36
Speaker 3: had a show.
41:37
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, we got to work for the
41:39
Speaker 6: for the music fans and you you know this, But
41:42
Speaker 6: how's the sound in the new spot?
41:43
Speaker 2: Well it sounded pretty good. Yeah, the sound was pretty good.
41:47
Speaker 3: And the balcony seats there's not really a bad place
41:49
Speaker 3: to see the show.
41:50
Speaker 2: I like that.
41:52
Speaker 3: And the building opens up the back of it, you're
41:54
Speaker 3: looking at you know, Turner Hall, and you can see
41:57
Speaker 3: five Serve and it's like cool vistas.
41:59
Speaker 2: And I was in.
42:00
Speaker 3: I somehow managed to get into a VIP area at
42:03
Speaker 3: that venue too that I didn't belong in.
42:05
Speaker 2: But I just kind of, you know, follow the crowd.
42:07
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, you walk far, and I went
42:09
Speaker 3: from one VIP event to I guess I walked in
42:11
Speaker 3: an entrance that was also a VP. So there were
42:13
Speaker 3: brew players all over. I didn't bug anybody those though,
42:16
Speaker 3: Joey Ortiz and they were having a good time. They
42:18
Speaker 3: were also christ the one guy I didn't see Murph there,
42:22
Speaker 3: you know. And it's funny because we talked about Matt
42:23
Speaker 3: Lafleur shotgun and beers and hanging out with the boys.
42:25
Speaker 2: But yeah, I didn't. I didn't see Murph there. I
42:26
Speaker 2: don't know if he was. I don't think he attended
42:28
Speaker 2: last year either, come to think about it.
42:30
Speaker 6: Or he was in that bed a time with his
42:31
Speaker 6: boys watching them play, watching the boys play, or maybe
42:35
Speaker 6: he was in that other room.
42:36
Speaker 2: Maybe he was in that even.
42:40
Speaker 5: Room.
42:40
Speaker 2: Who knows.
42:40
Speaker 6: Maybe murphysy, I'm not hanging out with these unwashed players.
42:43
Speaker 6: I saw a pal Andrew.
42:44
Speaker 3: Gruman from Brewers pr and just hanging out, So it
42:46
