0:23
Speaker 1: out on a limb. Got the crystal ball out yep.
0:26
Speaker 1: You know how injuries like they happened in waves for
0:28
Speaker 1: a while. The sports hernia was the injury that was
0:31
Speaker 1: a big one. Yeah, that was a hot injury, and
0:33
Speaker 1: the oblique became the injury that everybody has across all sports.
0:37
Speaker 1: Right then, now a cl well that never really goes
0:39
Speaker 1: out of style. It's a little bit like the blue blazer,
0:41
Speaker 1: the little black cocktail dress. Always here. We are in
0:46
Speaker 1: our first hours of pictures and catchers reporting and people
0:50
Speaker 1: cavorting on fields in Florida and Arizona, and the hammate
0:54
Speaker 1: bone has emptered the chat already. Corbyn Carrol taking VP
0:59
Speaker 1: for the Diamondbacks yesterday hits a home run, looking good.
1:03
Speaker 1: Corbyn next pitch, foul ball, broken hamdmate bone. He's going
1:07
Speaker 1: to be out a couple months, Gonna need Surgery're gonna
1:09
Speaker 1: miss the WBC and be out for Opening Day Jackson
1:12
Speaker 1: Holliday Uh in Florida for the Orioles. Broken hamdmate bone,
1:16
Speaker 1: gonna be out. It's like already instantly. The Hamae bone
1:20
Speaker 1: is that little bone kind of near the pinky. We're
1:23
Speaker 1: the knob of the battle.
1:24
Speaker 2: I was gonna say so, it's not the meta tarsal.
1:26
Speaker 2: It actually goes through a little hook like.
1:30
Speaker 3: It's underneath the meta tarsal. I believed carpole.
1:36
Speaker 1: It's happened to other guys. It can happen on a
1:38
Speaker 1: check swing. It can happen on a normal swing. It
1:40
Speaker 1: can happen if you get hit. Uh and the hamdmade bone.
1:44
Speaker 1: It's not good. And we have two young stars sidelined
1:48
Speaker 1: already that are gonna miss the World Baseball Classic and
1:51
Speaker 1: spring training and opening Day, which we don't love would
1:53
Speaker 1: we hate?
1:54
Speaker 2: And you mentioned as we talked about our sports, UH
1:57
Speaker 2: are our niche sports are our little ones that we
1:59
Speaker 2: are guilty pleasures that we love. The World Baseball Classic
2:02
Speaker 2: has kind of become that for me like, I mean,
2:04
Speaker 2: as much as the whole baseball season is a beauty
2:08
Speaker 2: and I love the whole one sixty two, it is
2:10
Speaker 2: a little different when it's an immediate sprint to a finish.
2:13
Speaker 2: It's it's starting the season off with the playoffs, and
2:17
Speaker 2: to get two of the better players out for Team
2:20
Speaker 2: USA is gonna be tough. Cordy Carroll's absolute dog and
2:24
Speaker 2: to not have him a part of that that all
2:26
Speaker 2: star team that they're putting together is pretty disappointing. But
2:28
Speaker 2: it also makes me wonder, Like you're seeing all the
2:31
Speaker 2: clips from yesterday, full bearded Joey Ortiz as he gets.
2:34
Speaker 1: Ready to pay for tea. That's an adjustment for me. Sweet.
2:36
Speaker 2: Look, I almost wonder, Drew if they're trying to ramp
2:39
Speaker 2: up a little earlier and maybe we're gonna see more
2:43
Speaker 2: of these injuries a.
2:43
Speaker 1: Little earlier on the Edwin Diaz effect. A lord knows,
2:48
Speaker 1: if that happens. World Baseball Classic is amazing and that fun,
2:52
Speaker 1: you know, but so just keep an eye on that.
2:55
Speaker 1: The handmaid bone already entering the chat and if that's
2:57
Speaker 1: just and this is too like marquee players that are
3:01
Speaker 1: going to be out, just keep an eye on that file,
3:03
Speaker 1: that one away, and that's something that can strike. You
3:05
Speaker 1: can need to get hit. You can do it on
3:06
Speaker 1: a swing. You got a lot of different ways, a
3:08
Speaker 1: lot of different ways. Probably could heard it on sliding
3:10
Speaker 1: into a base almost. Yeah, hamm, let's go flexer, flexer
3:15
Speaker 1: for pictures. What would be the other two if we're
3:17
Speaker 1: going like Mount Rushmore's of strangest sounding bone, Oh, bleak
3:22
Speaker 1: has got to be part of the of the muscle.
3:27
Speaker 3: Never forget the time I was sitting in the press
3:28
Speaker 3: box and they announced Ryan Brown was out with a
3:31
Speaker 3: strange trapezius, the muscle which is I think the up
3:35
Speaker 3: upper back. Yeah, you know, the trapezius was one.
3:39
Speaker 1: Of the nickname from my old roommate Jeff Patrie. Yeah,
3:42
Speaker 1: there you go.
3:45
Speaker 3: Hamstring, of course is like the galways. It's like the
3:48
Speaker 3: milk and cookies of all that. It's like the peanut
3:49
Speaker 3: butter and calf strain with.
3:55
Speaker 4: All.
3:55
Speaker 1: Right. Now, if you break a bone, that's a different story.
3:57
Speaker 1: But if you have any sports injuries or orthopedic needs,
3:59
Speaker 1: are pals at Orthpedic Associates Wisconsin are the best in
4:02
Speaker 1: the industry, world class care right here at home. Check
4:05
Speaker 1: them out. I'm coming up on two years. It'll be
4:07
Speaker 1: April eighth. It'll be two years since I had my
4:09
Speaker 1: place by doctor Matthew Bong at Orthopedic Associates Wisconsin. Fabulous
4:13
Speaker 1: decision on my part. I waited too long. That's the
4:15
Speaker 1: only thing that stings me is I waited about a
4:17
Speaker 1: year and a half longer than I should have to
4:19
Speaker 1: go see doctor Bong, get the X ray, get the
4:21
Speaker 1: consolet and say yeah, you need a new hip man.
4:23
Speaker 1: And then now it's been fantastic to the point where
4:26
Speaker 1: I might have to do the other one just to
4:27
Speaker 1: keep them in symmetry and not have I'm starting to
4:30
Speaker 1: feel the pinch and the limp that I was having before.
4:32
Speaker 1: I'm gonna nip this one. I'm not gonna suffer as
4:34
Speaker 1: long as I did because now I know or the
4:36
Speaker 1: Pedica Associates Wisconsin, there is a difference. Visit ORTHO Wisconsin
4:40
Speaker 1: dot com for more information. But getting guys hurting to
4:42
Speaker 1: your point, Billy, there will be guys. The juice that
4:45
Speaker 1: comes from the World Baseball Classic Pictures are going to
4:47
Speaker 1: go harder than they would on a Tuesday at one
4:49
Speaker 1: o'clock at Peoria Stadium. No doubt I mean, it's just
4:53
Speaker 1: going to ramps things up.
4:55
Speaker 2: Cause uh Vescursion, Lauren Shahati and Harold rend had Bryce
5:00
Speaker 2: terrang on yesterday.
5:01
Speaker 1: They did a phenomenal job.
5:02
Speaker 2: They did a phenomenal job trying to get all the
5:05
Speaker 2: pieces of audio out of Brice training, which isn't always
5:06
Speaker 2: the easiest easiest task. However, he had mentioned he's like
5:10
Speaker 2: some of us been here for like almost a month now,
5:12
Speaker 2: where like, and then I started putting it into my
5:14
Speaker 2: thought like he's gonna go play. He doesn't want to
5:17
Speaker 2: only have two weeks of regular spring training to get
5:20
Speaker 2: loaded up. And they got what five or six pitchers
5:22
Speaker 2: that are going to go play for a bunch of different.
5:23
Speaker 1: Teams as well. That was my thought too. It's like
5:25
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll was hurt like on the day, like pitchers
5:27
Speaker 1: and catchers report and there's a position guy in there
5:29
Speaker 1: taking hacks. Well, they've been in early and it's funny
5:33
Speaker 1: because that was one of the things and when the
5:35
Speaker 1: Brewers made their evolution kind of where they are now.
5:37
Speaker 1: You talk about culture, there was a time when burus
5:41
Speaker 1: pictures and catchers report and then like that second day
5:44
Speaker 1: after their first day of playing catch, you'd see the guys.
5:47
Speaker 1: You know, some of the star guys would show up
5:49
Speaker 1: and they would show up and they would you know,
5:51
Speaker 1: put their shorts on and they would go and the
5:54
Speaker 1: best backwards hats and they would go take their hacks
5:56
Speaker 1: and the coaches would throw to them and stuff soft
5:58
Speaker 1: toss in. And then ned Yos came up with a thing.
6:01
Speaker 1: He's like, well, first of all, if you're gonna come
6:03
Speaker 1: and work out, you're dressing in full Uni. This isn't
6:05
Speaker 1: the beach right, You're gonna were the pats. You're gonna
6:07
Speaker 1: wear what everybody else that's working is where? And his
6:10
Speaker 1: thing was, you can't show up on Tuesday and then
6:12
Speaker 1: work out and then Wednesday decide you want to go
6:14
Speaker 1: to the pool or to go play golf. Once you're in,
6:17
Speaker 1: you're in, Like you're here every day, so you can
6:20
Speaker 1: come in whatever you want. But once you're here, ain't vacation.
6:24
Speaker 1: Do like the soft move in the drop off that
6:27
Speaker 1: it was a cultural change of a little bit, like
6:29
Speaker 1: you know, that's is that a hard ass thing? That's
6:32
Speaker 1: a demand. It's like this is if you're going to
6:33
Speaker 1: be in, you're welcome. But if you come in, you're
6:36
Speaker 1: not just dropping your bags off, taking some hacks and
6:38
Speaker 1: then we'll see you next week. If you're in, you're in.
6:41
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure what Murph's thing, what his approach is,
6:44
Speaker 1: but now that's a cool standard to set though. One
6:47
Speaker 1: of the things now in baseball is that they got
6:50
Speaker 1: to tell guys to dial back, like when when Murph
6:53
Speaker 1: like remember when Damas wouldn't take a day off and
6:55
Speaker 1: contrast they didn't want to day and guys that just
6:59
Speaker 1: in spring training was different. Braun had his own like,
7:01
Speaker 1: you do what you need to get. How many bats
7:03
Speaker 1: do you want? Ryan like, when do you want to play?
7:05
Speaker 2: We were we were there for the We don't get
7:07
Speaker 2: paid by the hour quote from Ryan down at spring training.
7:10
Speaker 1: Yeah and so and it is they it has evolved
7:14
Speaker 1: to where it's a little bit they're more efficient now
7:16
Speaker 1: it's quicker. And the thing about baseball is, like I
7:19
Speaker 1: bet I was around teams where they were disorganized to
7:22
Speaker 1: the point where workouts took longer because they needed a
7:25
Speaker 1: pitching machine on a field to do a drill. And
7:28
Speaker 1: it wasn't there like that. The logistics. Yeah, the uh
7:32
Speaker 1: that's organized, the choreography that goes on with the workouts,
7:35
Speaker 1: like we're going to do this drill We're gonna do
7:36
Speaker 1: like a pop up drill. It's like, oh, we need
7:38
Speaker 1: the machine to hit the throw the pop ups in
7:40
Speaker 1: the air, like, oh, it's not here, and then you
7:41
Speaker 1: wait fifteen grab some water. We got we got some time.
7:44
Speaker 1: That was that. So now it's like military and you
7:46
Speaker 1: don't see that in football. You go to Packers camp,
7:47
Speaker 1: it is to the second choreographed, right, And baseball is
7:50
Speaker 1: like that now too.
7:51
Speaker 2: Yes, where like when I first went to spring training
7:54
Speaker 2: with Timmy, it was like a decade ago, and it
7:56
Speaker 2: was we've waited a little while and all of a sudden, oh, well,
7:58
Speaker 2: hold on, we got a couple of there's a lot
8:01
Speaker 2: more standing around where you go to an NFL practice.
8:04
Speaker 1: Kurtzignetti's big on it right now, and everyone's excited.
8:06
Speaker 2: We're in there our thirty hour, forty five minutes, all right,
8:09
Speaker 2: no waste any time.
8:10
Speaker 1: We're gonna be efficient when we're in there.
8:12
Speaker 2: And that the more and more you have it, the
8:14
Speaker 2: more and more that players are getting paid, the more
8:17
Speaker 2: and more that they're on there, you have to be
8:20
Speaker 2: as I think proactive, lining out how much time you're
8:23
Speaker 2: actually gonna be on task and then off your feet,
8:25
Speaker 2: because I also wonder Drew like when for baseball, so
8:28
Speaker 2: many guys want and need different different things to get ready, right,
8:32
Speaker 2: does that make sense where maybe on a practice field
8:35
Speaker 2: at American Family Fields of Phoenix, you're not getting the
8:38
Speaker 2: exact work that you necessarily need to get ready that
8:41
Speaker 2: you have with your trainer. But it feels like in
8:43
Speaker 2: baseball there's almost less personalized trainers in different proactive spots
8:47
Speaker 2: out in California where guys are training than in the NFL,
8:50
Speaker 2: where there's you know, we focus on the strength coach
8:54
Speaker 2: for the packers. In all reality, he only gets to
8:57
Speaker 2: set a program for like four weeks because everyone's like, yeah,
8:59
Speaker 2: my training module that I got here, that my trainers
9:01
Speaker 2: got me.
9:02
Speaker 3: Got their own things, all got their own private thing.
9:04
Speaker 3: How much is the team building aspects still part of
9:06
Speaker 3: spring training? I think once upon a time we romanticize
9:09
Speaker 3: it a lot more than it really is. Like I
9:11
Speaker 3: think it's still there. You guys lived together like they
9:14
Speaker 3: used to. I mean, is that no thing? It used
9:16
Speaker 3: to be a thing.
9:17
Speaker 2: And maybe they all used to stay at the Dobson
9:19
Speaker 2: Ranch in in Mason. It's like a hotel or like
9:21
Speaker 2: would stay too I mean you guys in the hot
9:23
Speaker 2: tub or walking through the bar and like you.
9:26
Speaker 3: Was like, you know, like they you would show a
9:28
Speaker 3: major league where you're living in the barracks.
9:31
Speaker 1: That never happened, right, yeah, yeah, they probably.
9:33
Speaker 2: I mean if anybody would maybe have a couple of airbnbs,
9:36
Speaker 2: were goyose.
9:39
Speaker 1: Guys have you know, if you're a big enough star,
9:41
Speaker 1: you have a house live out there, yeah, or someone
9:43
Speaker 1: has a house out there.
9:43
Speaker 2: And I was thinking about that for Caleb Durban, I mean,
9:46
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, he's walking in. He's got his
9:48
Speaker 2: nice white kicks that he had in the hand yesterday
9:50
Speaker 2: as the Boston Red Sox admin put him up of
9:55
Speaker 2: new newest Red Sox clocked in ready for work right
9:58
Speaker 2: early sunrising, and the in the Garly League and damn,
10:03
Speaker 2: I he's only in his second year, so he probably
10:05
Speaker 2: didn't feel confident enough Drew to go and buy a
10:08
Speaker 2: house near the complex or out there in Fyoria.
10:11
Speaker 1: But he had his plans on where he.
10:12
Speaker 2: Was gonna stay and had a lot of things probably
10:14
Speaker 2: lined up to be getting out to Arizona, and all
10:16
Speaker 2: of a sudden, like hey, by the way, yeah Fort
10:19
Speaker 2: Myers tomorrow, yep, Fort myers. WHOA, okay, sweet, that'll be
10:21
Speaker 2: a little bit different. I guess, a little bit jarring. Yeah,
10:23
Speaker 2: they help you out. You get a little extra little
10:26
Speaker 2: wiggle room there for cale, they give you a little
10:27
Speaker 2: allowance for like for housing, nice relocation fee. Yeah, the
10:31
Speaker 2: minor league guys and the really young guys might be
10:33
Speaker 2: at a hotel where they get on a bus every
10:35
Speaker 2: morning to go to the complex and work out and stuff.
10:37
Speaker 2: But for the most part, guys are but they are together.
10:41
Speaker 2: And that was one of the things that Counts did
10:42
Speaker 2: and I'm I'm sure Murph probably kept us too. But Counts,
10:46
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of times and you go to
10:48
Speaker 2: big league clubhouses and especially in spring training, the lockers
10:52
Speaker 2: are assigned by number, like number one here, two, three, four, five,
10:55
Speaker 2: and that's how it is. But yeah, a council did
10:58
Speaker 2: the social engineering where he wanted a young guy next
11:00
Speaker 2: to an old guy and a Latin guy next to another,
11:02
Speaker 2: and to put people from different backgrounds together, make them
11:04
Speaker 2: sit and talk and get to know each other.
11:06
Speaker 1: It was all about connectivity, right, And so there is that,
11:09
Speaker 1: and you're the days are you know, it is still
11:12
Speaker 1: pretty long. They're there six thirty seven in the morning
11:16
Speaker 1: until if they're playing a game, you might not leave
11:19
Speaker 1: until four five.
11:20
Speaker 2: The funniest thing is baseball gets the respect from other
11:23
Speaker 2: sports when the athletes go and see what baseball players
11:27
Speaker 2: do right, and they're like, holy cow, you guys are
11:29
Speaker 2: here for ever hours a day and twelve hours a
11:33
Speaker 2: day every single day. Wait what time do you get
11:35
Speaker 2: here for a seven o'clock game? And like that, it's
11:38
Speaker 2: a different kind of grind. I almost wonder if part
11:40
Speaker 2: of that Drew is the biggest realization and the training
11:45
Speaker 2: that you have. Obviously the hand eye coordination of as
11:48
Speaker 2: much BP as you need, and ground balls and fly
11:51
Speaker 2: balls and all that, but it's like getting your body
11:54
Speaker 2: prepared for how long you're gonna be on task about
11:57
Speaker 2: the ballpark and the grind that it ends up being.
11:59
Speaker 2: I do also wonder how much you know, you talk
12:01
Speaker 2: about the the Tom roddery and team building aspect of it,
12:04
Speaker 2: how much of that also happens on the golf course, right,
12:07
Speaker 2: or if the golf course has now turned into the
12:09
Speaker 2: pickleball court, right, maybe less active for something, a little movement,
12:13
Speaker 2: good competition, hand eye there's some great trash talking and
12:18
Speaker 2: competing that rolls in there. Probably not only on the
12:21
Speaker 2: sticks of a PS five that are and football.
12:23
Speaker 1: Has adopted more of the baseball model during camp because
12:26
Speaker 1: they're there all day, they're eating there, they just they
12:29
Speaker 1: feed them. And the same thing with the Bucks to
12:32
Speaker 1: the basketball, you're on the court, like they don't practice
12:35
Speaker 1: that much in the NBA. You never have a hard practice,
12:40
Speaker 1: like the Bucks talked about that when they had like
12:42
Speaker 1: a couple of days off before they played Atlanta. Gonna
12:44
Speaker 1: have like a mini training camp, like two or three
12:46
Speaker 1: hard practices in a row, doesn't happen.
12:49
Speaker 2: Nipple was on Bill Simmons podcast and he has some win.
12:52
Speaker 2: The last time they had a practice was I think
12:54
Speaker 2: four weeks ago.
12:55
Speaker 3: Because think about it, they probably don't recommend too much
13:00
Speaker 3: activity because if they're recommending old management for games, they're
13:03
Speaker 3: not get hurt. Yeah they're putting they're putting in concepts
13:06
Speaker 3: in film and plays, but they're not.
13:08
Speaker 1: And Kobe went at it and practice harder than a
13:10
Speaker 1: lot of guys, do you know in games.
13:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not going to run on ladders and sprints
13:14
Speaker 3: and things like that, I don't think.
13:16
Speaker 1: But the guys at the bottom of the roster have
13:18
Speaker 1: to do their own and have to get their individual workouts.
13:21
Speaker 1: But yeah, it has evolved now in the NBA, when
13:23
Speaker 1: practice is over, they got these lounges and guys will
13:25
Speaker 1: sit and play video games and chaffing up. So there's bonding,
13:28
Speaker 1: but it's not the same as it once was.
13:31
Speaker 3: And I would think a lot of the bonding used
13:32
Speaker 3: to take take part after hours. Billy, you always used
13:35
Speaker 3: to say a team that drinks together. But are these
13:37
Speaker 3: guys doing that? I mean, this generation doesn't hit the
13:39
Speaker 3: bars and not as much.
13:42
Speaker 2: But my my KEG decale theory does still hold up, right,
13:46
Speaker 2: because that's the private spot, right. What what spring training
13:50
Speaker 2: is great for, and what like summer workouts and football
13:52
Speaker 2: are great for, is the the team cookout, right, Sure,
13:56
Speaker 2: get everybody in there. Obviously there's a number of coolers.
13:59
Speaker 2: Ones got one's got electrolyte drinks. One's got some more
14:03
Speaker 2: Gatorade in it, some blue Gatorade, maybe some orange Gatorade,
14:06
Speaker 2: maybe some pillsner Gatorade. And then you really get to
14:10
Speaker 2: start bonding with the boys. I don't know that as
14:12
Speaker 2: much of that happens because they got to be upso
14:14
Speaker 2: damn early, right, Like even though in football you were
14:17
Speaker 2: up for running you'd sweat out a decent amount of
14:20
Speaker 2: the cookout from the day before. There's a lot more
14:23
Speaker 2: time that you can stand around and be hungover in
14:25
Speaker 2: a big league clubhouse, So I can't imagine they need
14:28
Speaker 2: to be able to get into that as much. I
14:30
Speaker 2: still thought my favorite evolution of the team bonding drew
14:34
Speaker 2: was when you walk into the locker room and immediately
14:37
Speaker 2: you had ps four ps four, ps four, ps four
14:40
Speaker 2: on the card table. We're generally right, don't go and
14:43
Speaker 2: talk to the guys while theyre playing cards. Yeah, don't
14:44
Speaker 2: go and talk to the guys wh are sitting on
14:46
Speaker 2: the couch. You don't go and talk to him others sid.
14:47
Speaker 1: At the table.
14:48
Speaker 2: But then all of a sudden we got four headsets
14:50
Speaker 2: on and everybody in a quad box playing Fortnight College
14:54
Speaker 2: around the table. That was a sweet moment where we're like,
14:56
Speaker 2: all right, no, no, it's a different generation.
14:59
Speaker 3: It's totally in terms of like what we think of
15:02
Speaker 3: as fans as players are commodities and and just pieces
15:05
Speaker 3: that move. Yeah, they're real guys that Now you got
15:08
Speaker 3: to learn a whole new clubhouse of places to go.
15:10
Speaker 1: Where do I Where do I land?
15:11
Speaker 3: Like?
15:11
Speaker 1: Who're you know?
15:12
Speaker 3: Who's the traveling guy that tells me where to go,
15:15
Speaker 3: what facility?
15:16
Speaker 1: Who are the people I know?
15:17
Speaker 3: Have I met any of these guys, It's probably a
15:20
Speaker 3: totally different thing. I saw Anthony Siegler walking in with
15:23
Speaker 3: the Brewers bags and stuff. Obviously that was where his
15:25
Speaker 3: gear was, and it reminded me of this iconic picture
15:30
Speaker 3: of when malder what went to the Blue Jays. He
15:33
Speaker 3: had his stuff in a Brewers bag and he's pulling
15:34
Speaker 3: his Blue Jays jersey out because he didn't have any
15:38
Speaker 3: Blue Jays bags yet.
15:39
Speaker 1: It was just.
15:41
Speaker 3: It was an interesting visual because for some reason you
15:43
Speaker 3: just don't think of it is that you separate the
15:47
Speaker 3: athletes from reality in some ways, Like, yeah, you know what,
15:50
Speaker 3: I probably would have the same backpack too if.
15:51
Speaker 2: I switched schools. But he had this breath, he had
15:54
Speaker 2: his Brewers bag and he had his Blue Jay stuff
15:56
Speaker 2: in that.
15:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just weird. Not like they're gonna FedEx you, No,
16:01
Speaker 1: that sucks bag.
16:02
Speaker 2: When you get traded, you'll get me got a haul
16:05
Speaker 2: of your gear somehow exactly.
16:06
Speaker 3: So it's it's just, uh, it was It's a kind
16:08
Speaker 3: of a stark visual, better than that.
16:10
Speaker 2: Than a lot of times when you get traded and
16:12
Speaker 2: you're on a road trip and all of a sudden
16:14
Speaker 2: they just garbage.
16:15
Speaker 1: Bag it up and send it to FedEx box. Could
16:17
Speaker 1: be a lot worse. Yeah, I mean, where's the nearest
16:19
Speaker 1: good Will in Whitefish Bay? Because there's probably a lot
16:22
Speaker 1: of good brewers, large stuff that Craig Councils got rid.
16:25
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, the inside here and fold that one up. Uh.
16:32
Speaker 1: We we are probably a couple of days away.
16:34
Speaker 2: Drew right from getting the the in clubhouse videos and
16:37
Speaker 2: conversations for Murph. Yes, I don't know if this one
16:40
Speaker 2: that I found uh overnight. This might be reheart brought
16:45
Speaker 2: back every single year in Brewer spring training. But this
16:49
Speaker 2: one uh from the Omaha archive because you got to enjoy.
16:53
Speaker 2: Even though pro baseball is still on the horizon, college
16:57
Speaker 2: baseball's coming up even faster in games that will count
16:59
Speaker 2: for college World Series have come up. How about one
17:01
Speaker 2: from Pat Murphy as the manager at not Arizona State,
17:05
Speaker 2: but Notre Dame, way back in the day, telling you
17:08
Speaker 2: how to treat empires.
17:09
Speaker 4: Another area I want to touch on today is relationships.
17:13
Speaker 4: You know, relationships are so important. Relationships with the umpire
17:19
Speaker 4: for a picture, we know what that is relationships for
17:23
Speaker 4: an umpire. Treat an umpire like your sister just brought
17:30
Speaker 4: over a date from the prom. You know, just a
17:35
Speaker 4: went to the prom, brought a date. Treat him upire
17:37
Speaker 4: the same way. Hi, how you doing?
17:39
Speaker 1: Nice to me?
17:40
Speaker 4: Said, Hey, great, that's great. Be very cordial, very nice,
17:43
Speaker 4: very professional.
17:45
Speaker 1: Don't ever show him up.
17:46
Speaker 4: Don't ever make him feel bad about what he's doing.
17:49
Speaker 4: Don't ever make him feel not welcome around you, and
17:53
Speaker 4: realize he's got a job to do and you got
17:56
Speaker 4: a job to do. You know, you don't have to
18:02
Speaker 4: be buddy buddy with him. You don't want to go
18:03
Speaker 4: to the problem with your sister and her date.
18:07
Speaker 1: To be buddy buddy. Just be CARDI will be nice.
18:09
Speaker 1: Never show him up.
18:11
Speaker 4: He's getting paid to do this thing. He's calling balls
18:14
Speaker 4: to strike. He's gonna make some mistakes. You're not even
18:16
Speaker 4: gonna know some of the mistakes he makes. You don't
18:18
Speaker 4: know what it takes to be an umpire. The one
18:20
Speaker 4: thing an umpire doesn't want is some fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,
18:24
Speaker 4: twenty to twenty two year old showing him up. He
18:30
Speaker 4: doesn't want that, so don't give it to him, it
18:32
Speaker 4: can only hurt you. They're human. I believe that basically
18:36
Speaker 4: they all do an honest, good job. They're human. Treat
18:41
Speaker 4: him with respect. They're trying to help you, and they
18:43
Speaker 4: can be a great friend for you. But they can
18:47
Speaker 4: also destroy it if you show him up. You don't
18:50
Speaker 4: need to do that. After a real close call, and
18:54
Speaker 4: he calls it a ball boom, he knows if he.
18:55
Speaker 1: Missed it or not. And he sure appreciates a.
18:58
Speaker 4: Young man that walks away and doesn't say anything because
19:02
Speaker 4: he sure as heck doesn't show you up. When you're
19:04
Speaker 4: walking the yard out there, throw a strike way, I'm
19:08
Speaker 4: trying to umpire. Can you imagine that?
19:13
Speaker 1: So you don't do it to him? Heckling the umpire,
19:16
Speaker 1: heckling by the umpire. And we send that video to
19:19
Speaker 1: like Jim Wolf and Tony Rendozzo and some of the
19:22
Speaker 1: umps who have had to run Murph in the last
19:24
Speaker 1: couple of years.
19:25
Speaker 3: And I'm sorry, if there's more unearthed old vintage Pat
19:29
Speaker 3: Murphy video, please are unearth it, Like who's out there
19:32
Speaker 3: sitting on this?
19:33
Speaker 1: We need this content.
19:34
Speaker 2: Just what a golden treasure in the treasure chest of
19:39
Speaker 2: old Murph video. Yes, we want all of it because
19:41
Speaker 2: I'm not going to spring training. At some point when
19:43
Speaker 2: the Cubs drop by American Family Field, I will I
19:47
Speaker 2: will have I'll get a couple of minutes with the
19:49
Speaker 2: former Brewer skipper. And I know he's like not he's
19:52
Speaker 2: like public public enemy number and he's in the top
19:55
Speaker 2: five round here.
19:55
Speaker 1: I still get starting to slide down after. I want
19:58
Speaker 1: to get him. I want to get five good minutes
20:00
Speaker 1: with him because like the way the stories that Counts
20:03
Speaker 1: as told about the guys on the team bus when
20:04
Speaker 1: they played at Notre Dame under Murph and how everybody
20:07
Speaker 1: did a Murph impression and the stuff like he said,
20:10
Speaker 1: like after bad losses and when Murph would be just
20:12
Speaker 1: pissed in the back of the bus, they'd be trying
20:14
Speaker 1: not to laugh and have fun because everybody was doing
20:16
Speaker 1: their Murph impressions and stuff. I gotta get some of that,
20:18
Speaker 1: because that's gonna be gold. That is gonna be gonna
20:20
Speaker 1: be going. It'll be going, hopefully statute of limitations will
20:24
Speaker 1: run out and people will take it in the spirit
20:25
Speaker 1: in which it's intended, which is just fun and to
20:27
Speaker 1: celebrate Murph Willies here right.
20:29
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but I mean, we got the fun in
20:31
Speaker 2: all of it. Drew is getting some people passed. Yeah,
20:33
Speaker 2: that's true. That's also fun.
20:35
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely eight seven seven seven ninety seven three gets
20:40
Speaker 1: you to the nicolay law dot Com talk and text
20:42
Speaker 1: on we are huddling up on a Thursday in the
20:43
Speaker 1: good Land the Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. From the
20:47
Speaker 1: Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine to twenty, Milwaukee ten seventy, Madison,
20:52
Speaker 1: everywhere on the iHeartRadio apps, streaming, Facebook x and the
20:56
Speaker 1: youtubes reach out to us eight seven seven seven nine
21:00
Speaker 1: seven three. What plates do we have spinning today? When
21:01
Speaker 1: we were celebrating Camp Thomas's thirty plus thirty four point
21:06
Speaker 1: night less.
21:06
Speaker 2: Thirty four points, A little love from thirty four, maybe
21:09
Speaker 2: a second option that the bucks have desperately needed and
21:12
Speaker 2: been waiting for for quite some time. And frankly, just
21:16
Speaker 2: a little bit of a smile from our friend Giannis
21:18
Speaker 2: A that a gumba that always makes it, that always
21:19
Speaker 2: makes it fun.
21:20
Speaker 1: Makes it. He was hanging out at Disney get some stuff.
21:23
Speaker 2: A little bit of a when you wish upon a star,
21:26
Speaker 2: makes no difference who you are. Cam Thomas could run
21:28
Speaker 2: out there the Kia Center drop thirty four and beat
21:31
Speaker 2: the Orlando Magic and maybe give you just a sliver
21:34
Speaker 2: of hope that you can make up those two games
21:35
Speaker 2: to get that ten seed.
21:36
Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, get y up. Thanks for the memories.
21:41
Speaker 1: We won't be tanking in Milwaukee this year. We'd rather
21:43
Speaker 1: just play in the tournament and just get a participation trophy.
21:46
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe get another home game, you know, maybe get
21:49
Speaker 2: another home game.
21:50
Speaker 1: How about that.
21:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little bit of a dilemma, I'm sure
21:53
Speaker 3: for the Bucks and the whole organization is well, we
21:56
Speaker 3: probably like more ping pong balls, but we want to
21:58
Speaker 3: keep you, Honus happy, and we want to growth Because
22:01
Speaker 3: I always said about taking eventually you have to try
22:03
Speaker 3: and win, and eventually you have to build a culture
22:05
Speaker 3: of winning.
22:05
Speaker 1: Eventually you have to put forth effort to do it.
22:07
Speaker 3: And I think that was always the most insidious problem
22:10
Speaker 3: with tanking, is that like, okay, so when do you
22:12
Speaker 3: start winning?
22:13
Speaker 2: The funny thing is, Arman, what you just explained was
22:15
Speaker 2: what I thought the Wizards did, and when I was
22:17
Speaker 2: going to give them some actual credit because you know
22:19
Speaker 2: what they said, Drew. You know, we know we should
22:21
Speaker 2: try to do maybe win some games. We know we're
22:24
Speaker 2: not going to be the best team in the league.
22:25
Speaker 2: But maybe we don't want to win seventeen games every year, right,
22:29
Speaker 2: Maybe we try to try to crazy idea win forty one.
22:35
Speaker 1: Maybe we try to be five hundred.
22:37
Speaker 2: Maybe we try and cash into some of these chips
22:39
Speaker 2: and play competitive basketball.
22:42
Speaker 1: On a night in a night out basis.
22:43
Speaker 2: And then what they did was shut down the player
22:45
Speaker 2: that they got who I thought was going to give
22:47
Speaker 2: them that opportunity. So it's a really difficult balancing act
22:51
Speaker 2: because some teams, again I can't say that I think
22:55
Speaker 2: the Utah Jazz are gonna beat Oklahoma City in a
22:57
Speaker 2: seven game series.
22:58
Speaker 1: So will they win the title?
22:59
Speaker 4: No?
23:00
Speaker 2: But at some point, does it make more sense for
23:02
Speaker 2: your fan base, the people that actually pay money for
23:05
Speaker 2: season tickets night in the night out to I don't know,
23:09
Speaker 2: play your best players all four quarters. I think that
23:12
Speaker 2: I think that's a fair ask. I think that is
23:14
Speaker 2: a fair ask to be able to go to. Definitely,
23:16
Speaker 2: And it might be one that the Bucks and sure though,
23:19
Speaker 2: is it the greatest thing to be able to do?
23:21
Speaker 2: And if you're doing an NBA sim would this be
23:25
Speaker 2: the time to shut everybody down?
23:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be, But you can't live this thing
23:29
Speaker 1: in a simulation.
23:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you also really can't guarantee what you're gonna see.
23:33
Speaker 3: I know people are gonna joke about the conspiracy theories
23:35
Speaker 3: and things like that. You don't know what to what
23:37
Speaker 3: you're gonna get in the ping pong ball kind of situation.
23:40
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously you give yourself more balls, you give
23:42
Speaker 3: yourself a better percentage chance, but that doesn't come through
23:44
Speaker 3: a lot of times for teams that thought they were
23:46
Speaker 3: gonna do that and then what just happened.
23:48
Speaker 1: Then you just.
23:48
Speaker 3: Wasted a whole year of product for the for the
23:53
Speaker 3: ball that didn't come up, and you didn't get the
23:54
Speaker 3: prize you want, and the next thing you know, you
23:56
Speaker 3: get the tenth pick trying to startle over again.
23:58
Speaker 1: That's no way to feel.
23:59
Speaker 3: The competitive sport business, in my opinion is So is
24:02
Speaker 3: this an NBA problem? I think it is, And there's
24:04
Speaker 3: deeper questions and answers to be figured out to be
24:07
Speaker 3: beside that. But you know, what you do as a
24:10
Speaker 3: team is tough, and I actually think it's a little
24:12
Speaker 3: easier on the Bucks because they have and I said
24:14
Speaker 3: that before, they have a tangible reason to try and win,
24:16
Speaker 3: and that's to impress upon their best player and their
24:19
Speaker 3: most important natural resource that they want to try and
24:22
Speaker 3: win and that he can be part of winning here
24:24
Speaker 3: again in Milwaukee. So you might as well try and
24:26
Speaker 3: go for it because you're trying to convince him to
24:28
Speaker 3: eventually stay. And I would think sign an extension in
24:32
Speaker 3: my opinion, that's a goal, right, you would think.
24:34
Speaker 2: I also wonder Drew if there's some of for Giannis
24:37
Speaker 2: remembering what happened to him when they were the number
24:40
Speaker 2: one team in the Eastern Conference and then got beat
24:43
Speaker 2: right like, and got beat by a team that did
24:45
Speaker 2: play in the play in tournament once, they're like, yeah,
24:47
Speaker 2: why can't we do that to Detroit if that they're
24:49
Speaker 2: the team that ends up there this.
24:50
Speaker 1: Year's that element too. Yeah. When it comes to the
24:53
Speaker 1: systemic problem, though, isn't it interesting that you can make
24:56
Speaker 1: the case that the NBA, more than any other league
24:59
Speaker 1: needs to show and it's regular season, whereas baseball plays
25:01
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two games and one hundred and
25:03
Speaker 1: eighty four days. Yeah. Amen, And that's like, you know,
25:07
Speaker 1: we cruise along. Pitching injuries are an issue, and there
25:10
Speaker 1: are things in baseball, but in the NBA, like a
25:14
Speaker 1: sixty game regular season might be this sweet.
25:17
Speaker 2: It just makes way too much sense. True, it is
25:18
Speaker 2: seventy games, five games, sixty games. It just makes way
25:21
Speaker 2: too much sense that the product right now is not
25:25
Speaker 2: good enough to one not address and look at some
25:29
Speaker 2: of the issues, but to then just say, you know,
25:31
Speaker 2: we actually need to talk about adding two more teams.
25:34
Speaker 2: Like they have some of the most talent they ever
25:36
Speaker 2: have in the league, and the most amount of talent
25:41
Speaker 2: that sitting in street close every single night. Yeah, and
25:43
Speaker 2: for somebody that loves the league as much as like,
25:46
Speaker 2: there's some real viewership problems in the lack of competitiveness
25:50
Speaker 2: on a night in a night out basis. It's awesome
25:52
Speaker 2: that you know, NBC gave you two point three billion
25:57
Speaker 2: dollars to be able to broadcast the games for eleven years,
26:00
Speaker 2: But by the end of the eleventh year on that deal,
26:02
Speaker 2: what is the product that they're getting? And unless you
26:05
Speaker 2: do some real drastic changes, it's it's going to continue
26:09
Speaker 2: to slide.
26:09
Speaker 1: Make it more scarce. Embrace that. And it's joke the
26:13
Speaker 1: Bucks wanted last year, But the end season tournament, the
26:15
Speaker 1: NBA Cup or whatever something like that in a shorter
26:18
Speaker 1: season might have more weight, and then embrace on the
26:21
Speaker 1: back end of it the WBC model what the Baseball
26:25
Speaker 1: does with the World Baseball Classic. Yeah, invite and embrace
26:28
Speaker 1: international competition to make that part of your TV package
26:30
Speaker 1: kind of in the off season or in the run
26:33
Speaker 1: up to write the regular do something like that where
26:36
Speaker 1: you're leaning into that too. Totally agree where you have,
26:39
Speaker 1: you know, lean into that and make that part of
26:41
Speaker 1: your package, and don't think of it as we can't
26:44
Speaker 1: lose twenty games, we'll lose the revenue. We'll replace it.
26:46
Speaker 1: Replace it with an international tournament of your own in
26:49
Speaker 1: non Olympic years, yep. And replace it with the NBA
26:53
Speaker 1: Cup kind of beefed up in like more people, you know,
26:55
Speaker 1: beef that up, make people care about it more, and
26:58
Speaker 1: make that kind of like, you know, half championship.
27:01
Speaker 2: The other part of it, Drew that I struggle with
27:03
Speaker 2: is like the way the money is lined. We never
27:06
Speaker 2: want to lose money. I totally get that, right, totally
27:09
Speaker 2: get it. I totally understand. We don't want to lose
27:10
Speaker 2: six home games if we go to seventy games in
27:13
Speaker 2: the regular season and every owner is gonna be clutching
27:15
Speaker 2: their pearls to this but again, if the fifty to
27:18
Speaker 2: fifty split means that your max contract guy goes from
27:21
Speaker 2: fifty eight million to fifty five million, contrary to.
27:25
Speaker 1: What James Harten said yesterday that we got to look
27:27
Speaker 1: out for our.
27:27
Speaker 2: Families, well, I'll see that problem. Got to make business decisions.
27:31
Speaker 2: We gotta make business sists.
27:32
Speaker 1: Go ahead, go ahead.
27:33
Speaker 2: We're all still gonna eat right like it is. We're
27:36
Speaker 2: also gonna make a ton of money. We're all actually
27:39
Speaker 2: potentially gonna be healthy when the playoffs come around. Because
27:43
Speaker 2: that's the other part, Like this isn't going to be
27:45
Speaker 2: able to be studied. And this will sound wrong to
27:48
Speaker 2: some folks. The way the game is played, like I
27:51
Speaker 2: know Lebron said it on his podcast like that it's
27:53
Speaker 2: it's more. It asks so much more of your body
27:57
Speaker 2: for how up and down it is, how fast paced,
27:59
Speaker 2: the howe out the game is.
28:01
Speaker 1: It's not the same, guys, It's just not as in
28:03
Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties. It's much harder to play now.
28:05
Speaker 1: That was his point.
28:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like the travel is so less hard,
28:09
Speaker 2: but the forty eight minutes that you're playing in the
28:11
Speaker 2: training and the amount of specialization that we talked about
28:14
Speaker 2: a couple of days ago. That I do think leads
28:16
Speaker 2: itself to some of the injuries that we're seeing. Tyres
28:18
Speaker 2: Haliburn and Jason Tatum shouldn't be tearing their achilles at
28:20
Speaker 2: twenty six years old.
28:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, how much the miles on the tires playing
28:24
Speaker 1: twelve AAU games a weekend hit that bell?
28:26
Speaker 4: Yep.
28:28
Speaker 1: But the big picture is still in the culture of it.
28:30
Speaker 3: I still think the problem is for fans, they want
28:32
Speaker 3: to better product, but for the league and players, their
28:35
Speaker 3: big picture is still money.
28:36
Speaker 1: And I don't know where you. You know, it's easy
28:38
Speaker 1: to say they'll be fine with.
28:39
Speaker 3: Three million less Billy, I agree with you, but I
28:41
Speaker 3: don't think the players will. I don't think they're gonna
28:43
Speaker 3: want to give any money back. I don't I see,
28:45
Speaker 3: and I disagree. I think it's the owners more than
28:47
Speaker 3: the players. Well, I would say, I think I think
28:49
Speaker 3: the players would prefer to have less games on the schedule.
28:52
Speaker 3: I think the players would prefer to have a better
28:55
Speaker 3: chance of rolling in and being healthier.
28:56
Speaker 2: I don't think the owners want to give up home gates.
28:58
Speaker 2: I don't think the owners want to give up that
29:00
Speaker 2: slice of the pie. But again, it is it is
29:02
Speaker 2: a fifty to fifty split, So it is as clean
29:05
Speaker 2: cut as how much money you're gonna make. You're still
29:07
Speaker 2: going to make thirty five percent of whatever the pie is.
29:10
Speaker 2: It's just a different pie. And you know, maybe you're right,
29:12
Speaker 2: maybe the players wouldn't want to because the teams are
29:14
Speaker 2: still ending up holding them back and not ending up
29:17
Speaker 2: having them play. But then when you're also seeing, like nikolea.
29:22
Speaker 2: Jokic is the best player in the league, he can't
29:24
Speaker 2: be on the All NBA team because of the stupid
29:27
Speaker 2: sixty five game rule, sure, which we all thought was
29:30
Speaker 2: great because you needed to be able to limit how
29:32
Speaker 2: much guys were sitting. Well, Nikole Yokic had two legitimate injuries.
29:36
Speaker 2: He's play, he's gonna play over twenty one hundred minutes,
29:39
Speaker 2: but he's not gonna be able to be in the
29:40
Speaker 2: All NBA team because of the arbitrary couple of numbers
29:43
Speaker 2: that put in. So like all of the things that
29:45
Speaker 2: you thought were gonna aid, it still have been more detractors.
29:49
Speaker 1: When the clearest answer Drew is shortened season. Just shortened season.
29:52
Speaker 1: It'll be all good, absolutely absolutely all right. On the
29:56
Speaker 1: way out here, arman, You're gonna pour one up for
29:58
Speaker 1: James Vanderbeek. That's very sad.
30:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dawson's Creek, Yeah, really said obviously, Dawson's Creek and
30:07
Speaker 3: Varsity Blues. That's just we lost a great one too early.
30:11
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm not I don't know much about Hollywood,
30:14
Speaker 3: but I know he was a real one. And and
30:15
Speaker 3: what he had col rechal cancer, I believe so very Yeah,
30:19
Speaker 3: he was in some of the most iconic roles man
30:21
Speaker 3: growing up for us.
30:22
Speaker 1: He's he was always on the list of like celebrity
30:25
Speaker 1: packer fans. Yeah, ye there, Jeff Harry Styles and and
30:29
Speaker 1: James Vanderbeek.
30:30
Speaker 2: And he also was like he also ended it felt
30:33
Speaker 2: like Drew at some point during uh, during a great
30:35
Speaker 2: sitcom era in my lifetime, was like he made a
30:38
Speaker 2: cameo in every show. True, Like he was at your Mother,
30:43
Speaker 2: Like he was in just about every show at some point.
30:46
Speaker 1: Uh.
30:46
Speaker 2: And as somebody that is not movie literate sat down
30:50
Speaker 2: to watch the Varsity Blues.
30:51
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's some one of the awesome movies.
30:55
Speaker 2: And in that speech right there in the locker room,
30:57
Speaker 2: it is is way way too sad. And then you
30:59
Speaker 2: see the thing family and the kids that he leaves
31:01
Speaker 2: behind man. Cancer is the absolute absolute worst. Absolutely yeah,
31:06
Speaker 2: five or six kids? Six six kids?
31:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, sick, yeah awful, Yeah, thoughts with them. And now
31:13
Speaker 1: you're gonna tonight you're gonna binge like Dawson's Creek on
31:15
Speaker 1: a marathon. That's more odd.
31:17
Speaker 2: I'd like to but if by the time, I don't

Speaker 2: mean to sound like, well, nods got armand's got some
31:22

33:22
Speaker 2: Uh.
33:23
Speaker 1: The niche sport thing and this is perfect for the
33:26
Speaker 1: Olympics because the winter sports like the Pears figure skating. Arman,
33:30
Speaker 1: is that your thing too? Is at your jam? You
33:32
Speaker 1: like figure skating? What about pears? It is Pears is okay.
33:35
Speaker 3: I mean I'm not really as much into that one
33:37
Speaker 3: as as some others, but Pears is is. Uh is
33:40
Speaker 3: interesting to watch and it's got amazing our Unfortunately, we
33:43
Speaker 3: had a silver metal not of gold yesterday for the
33:45
Speaker 3: Americans and they were kind of disappointed in that. But
33:48
Speaker 3: it's tough because it's a judge sport and some of
33:51
Speaker 3: those you know, it's easier to take when you know
33:53
Speaker 3: someone crosses the finish line before you, but when you
33:55
Speaker 3: just don't get the scores you think you should and
33:57
Speaker 3: someone else wins. It was the It was the same
34:00
Speaker 3: deal when Nancy Kerrigan had her come back to her
34:02
Speaker 3: and everyone thought she skated the gold medal skate and no,
34:05
Speaker 3: we're gonna give a talks on a vyule and there's
34:07
Speaker 3: a lot of questions about the judging there.
34:09
Speaker 1: So it is what it is.
34:11
Speaker 3: It's fun to watch because what their ability to do
34:13
Speaker 3: with their skill is incredible. I can't say it's one
34:15
Speaker 3: of my favorite sports though. Uh it's a watch, but
34:18
Speaker 3: it's it's not bad or anything like that.
34:21
Speaker 1: I'll have it on. But it's been fun talking to
34:23
Speaker 1: people about their Yeah, you know, they're kind of like
34:25
Speaker 1: Gil not even guilty pleasure. It's like, what are you
34:28
Speaker 1: into that it's kind of outside the mainstream that people

Speaker 1: grave site, often at all hours, but often in the morning,
36:28
Speaker 1: and often with his current wife sitting in the car
36:31
Speaker 1: waiting for him. He relieved himself. Now we've been talking
36:36
Speaker 1: about niche passions and hobbies. You gotta find something else
36:40

37:13
Speaker 2: get past that, like you got to get over like

Speaker 1: If the maybe she's in your head that much where
37:19
Speaker 1: you do every day. I mean, I hope it felt
37:21
Speaker 1: good to him all those years later. You're still obsessed,
37:24
Speaker 1: Still still obsessed. That is why era when you can
37:27
Speaker 1: get trouble for following your ex on social media. Yeah, yeah,
37:32
