  Speaker 1: And Armin Sarian.

  Speaker 3: Daddy Sarian. Welcome to the huddle.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Welcome to the huddle. Tuesday edition of the huddle. Oh baby,
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: our cup runneth over. World Series week. NBA opening week.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Badgers and Trojans, the men of Troy. infiltrating Camp Randall
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: on Saturday night, Packers Lions on Sunday. The buffet is bountiful,
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: but we are definitely focused on the Brewers' first World
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Series in 44 years.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy to even think about it. I've heard
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: the levering call probably 1,900 times now. Just keep it
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: going and keep it going.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and each time I want to hear it again.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: So it's almost like my little guy when he watches
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: the first 20 seconds of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Drew, you
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: just immediately grab that little slider on the bottom of
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the screen, pull that thing right back to the front
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and start that play over.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: It's like, you, there's something sometimes I'm halfway through it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I'm like, wait, wait, wait.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I wasn't totally mentally right. I want to start that
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: experience over again. The words were on the screen when,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: while I was watching the pitch. So I got to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: click that off first and make sure I time that up.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I just want to melt into every piece of brewers
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: content I can before the series. Like not that I'm
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: not excited for the world series.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: It's awesome.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: It's going to happen on Friday, but like, I want
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to try and bask in, like, really, you know, I say, like,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I wish I appreciated Mormonist here. Well, I'm doing a
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: hell of a job appreciating it.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Let me just put it that way. You're all about
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: the Brewers content.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I got some good stuff. Where do you stand on
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: the timeless ticket controversy?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, we got to talk about this. Because there's a
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: lot of discussion. You know, you start reading the comments.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know if these guys, it's going this way.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Explain the situation. A little more than a decade ago,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: the Brewers had an offer.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Someone came with, I think, an ingenious idea.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: In 2015, for $ 1, 000, you got a timeless ticket, which
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: is a keepsake, almost like a piece of Packer stock,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: though way more expensive. And you get a bronze ticket,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: and it says that you can attend. It's a sweet-looking ticket.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: You can attend any game you want in the future, including,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: and it did say in the marketing materials, Game 7
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: of the World Series.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: That's the whole point, yeah.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: You can redeem it for any game. It could be
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: on an opening day. I wonder how many people have
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: redeemed already or not, but they sold 1,000 of them.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Like $ 1, 000.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: $ 1, 000 a piece.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: And I want to give myself a little credit because
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I remember bringing this up mid-season in the winter at
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: some point or in the early summer. Yeah, the last
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: four years.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just want to remind you guys about that. Yeah, exactly.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: But I wouldn't think many people redeemed it yet because
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: they probably thought there wasn't value in doing it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Yet, right?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: $ 1, 000, unless you were guaranteed maybe right behind home players.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Game 7 of the 2018 NLCS at home would have
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: been a tough one to not cash in on. That
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: would have been one to cash it in. Good point, Billy.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: But now we're getting into the fine print of this
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: because the timeless ticket, they had some other ancillary.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Benefits to it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yep, little stuff in there.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: But it Also, it did say the best seat available,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: subject to availability.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Subject to availability.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: That is going to be the key phrase. That might
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: be our phrase that pays on Thursday. People who paid
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: for the $ 1, 000 are being offered a ticket. If you
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: want to redeem it for a World Series ticket, you're
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: being offered a seat in the 400s and the opportunity
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: to buy up to three more for $ 1, 000 apiece, which
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: is still... given the current market, it's.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Still a bargain.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: It's still a bargain now.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: And, and as much as the subject to availability, I
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: saw the, the young man talk. I can't remember what
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: news station is. And I apologize for which video I
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: watched on it saying, well, I'm going to be cheering
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: on the Bruce. I'm going to be doing it at home.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: That's a hell of a choice that you made his
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: brothers in Kenosha. Because at that point, if you did
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: make the investment and I understand, and now very much.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: So I'm, I got this piece of ground, and I'm
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: standing 10 toes down on it. I needed the best
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: available ticket. But when I heard my man say 10
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: rows up, I'm sorry. You lost me right there. You
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: lost the hell out of me. If you thought you
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: were going to be sitting in Mark Antanasio's seats for
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: the World Series with the timeless tickets, I got a
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: great beachfront property in Montana that I'd love to be
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: able to also sell you at a thousand bucks.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: It's a little main character energy with this guy. I
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: got to say now I understand like maybe he wanted him.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: What did you think they were going to do for you? Like,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: and subject to availability is you could say it's subjective.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: You could argue that there are better seats available, but
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: they're not really available.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: But they're not, those aren't available to timeless ticket.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: They're going to make it available to you and what
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: they're doing. And you're still getting the value and you're
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: getting the ticket. And you're right, Billy. I'm not going
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: on principle. You showed them. You won. Good job, Ari.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. Now, I don't.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Know where this falls on the sliding scale of here
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to the lady that tried to sue for the 50-50 raffle.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know where this is, but I got a
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: suggestion for the guy. You're not going to get much
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: support from people. You might as well just go to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the games and not regret your decision later to miss
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: your World Series game, which I'm telling you, he's going
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: to eventually do. He's going to roll up on Thursday saying,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. Can I please have a ticket? And
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going to happen. That's my prediction. Well,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: if you do that, then I don't know if you'll
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: get one.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I agree. Because, Drew, like that, the subject to availability, well,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: now definitely nothing else is available. So, yeah, exactly. Now
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: it's going to be really hard to find availability.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: But you're getting the ability to buy three more at
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: $ 1, 000 each. If you wanted to flip those, you could
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: make a good amount of money on your $ 1, 000 investment,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: which there was no monetary kickback in this. You were
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: just going to use your ticket at some point.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Yes. Good point.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: You can't say you're losing value because those value is there.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: it's face value to the ticket of, we're going to
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: give him terrace, right?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I could see maybe if they were going to give
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: him SRO and not even let him put his butt down,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I could maybe see, okay.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, then I would have had a problem with it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Let me sit down. I need a guaranteed view and
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: a seat in the chair.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: If you bought one timeless ticket, you know, they don't
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: necessarily have to extend the offer to buy the extra three.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Very true.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Take your family and then pay, you know, you're already
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: in for your seat and then you're paying less than,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: almost a third of face value for the others.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: The 10 roses were, you're right, Billy. That was legit.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: That was where, if it would have said, I thought
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: maybe in the bleachers, I would have been sympathetic. You
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: know what? You could have found my man a spot
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: in 202. You could have very much found him a spot.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: And Armin, I would actually push back because I've seen
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of sympathy and a lot of folks backing
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: him up in the comments at least. I thought a
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: lot more online were saying, Brewers need to do the
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: right thing. I love when people say that. I don't
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: know what the right thing exactly is. Are we supposed
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: to walk them down and hang out in the dugout? Again,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: there are 900 folks that probably bought them and are
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: probably fired up to go hang out in the timeless
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: ticket section and tell their stories to each other about
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: how they've been waiting for the last decade to be
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: at game one of the world series. And they're all
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: hanging out together. And I think you hit it on
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the head, Billy.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I think there's a little ego involved with all these
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: guys that bought these one, everyone to know that they
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: were the ones that invested. They were the ones that
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: took that chance. And now they were like, they want
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: people to think, Oh, these are the smart guys. Look,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: these are the ones that did it. And they want
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to be honored as such. Like maybe they do want
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: to have like a walk around the warning track or something.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I don't really know what it is, but There's a
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: little bit of that involved, a little main character energy maybe. Listen,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: if you really feel aggrieved about it, maybe, but I
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: don't think it's going to get anywhere, first of all.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: And maybe there are some people that say, okay, I
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: have to go check. I love reading comments, Billy.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: You know me.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to have to go back and read
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the comments to see what people think. A lot of
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: people that are just saying... See, I think a part
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: of it is a lot of people wish they could
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: have a World Series ticket right now and are upset
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: they can't have one. And a lot of people are
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: saying that I've seen, just be happy and be grateful
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you're going to go to the World Series and watch
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: a game and getting what you basically paid for, which
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: was a guaranteed spot. And they did guarantee the spot.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: The Brewers did.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: The value of the extra tickets, Drew, I did not
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: read far enough into the story. That I actually have
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: so much less sympathy for now. Yeah. Knowing that you
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: could then buy up to three more at a thousand
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: a ticket right next to you. Cause that would be again,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: if I'm thinking back to where I would have been now,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: your boy was trying to scrounge up every $ 25. He
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: could for something in 2015, that would have been a junior,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: a senior in college drew their one $ 10. That wasn't
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: going to a discount liquor down on Barstow for her,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: for a potential box of red dog at some point.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: But to think if you're buying that $ 1, 000 ticket and
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: then all of a sudden push came to shove and
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: you're on the phone with a young lady and she says,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: all right, sweet, we got one ticket for you in
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: section 210. All right, one ticket. Cool.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Can I get another one?
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for $ 4, 500 a pop. Yeah. I like that. They
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: very much could have flipped it around both ends. And
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I know, boss, I know that it is more... Armin,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: cause you're spot on. Everybody wants to go in right now.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: There feels like there has to be a villain in
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: this thing. That's it. People are comfortable with that. There's
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: a reason why people tagged it and have a once
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: in a lifetime event. The tickets are buying. I've seen
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: now multiple. We, I answered my own question that we
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: had yesterday, drew who's buying the $ 2, 500 terrace. Exactly. I've
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: seen a lot on Facebook. groups being sold at $ 2, 250, $ 2, 400.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: They're out there and people are paying it.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: That means as much as it might price some folks out,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: they're probably right on par with what they should be
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: because the supply and the demand are are neck and
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: neck for which one's winning right now. Absolutely.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a crazy concept, but it's so
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: hard for people to grasp. And I do think maybe
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: people are comfortable with trying to make somebody a villain.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And a lot of times that's the big, bad, rich
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: guy or the big, bad, rich team that's saying, you know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: you're screwing us with these prices. You're screwing us with these.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: It's just the reality of the situation that you're talking
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: about an event that everyone wants to go to. I
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sure if you, I'm sure if you pulled, there's
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: 6 million people in Wisconsin.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I'm sure if you pulled them all, they'd all say,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I'd like to go to a world series game or
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: at least a big chunk of them. Let's say half conservative.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Let's say a third. That's 2 million people. There aren't
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: 2 million tickets available. All right. So what happens? The
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: market's going to go up.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: That's just the reality of the situation. Sometimes we have
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: to accept that. And then, and it's not, I'm sorry,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the greatest tragedy in the world either. Then I'd be
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: able to go to a world series game.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: It's not, I mean, How many people, if you get
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: FOMO and the Brewers win a World Series and you
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: don't go, how many of those people then say, damn it,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I'm not letting that happen again? And let's say the
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: planets align and the Packers are playing in the Super Bowl.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: It's so fine. It's a similar price. Now, granted, airfare, hotel.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: You can add to it. Everything that comes to it.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: But then do you go all in?
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Because it is stunning, though, that get-in-the-door prices of Game
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: 1 of the World Series are higher than get-in-the-door prices
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: for a Super Bowl. Because that seems to be the
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: highest ticket outside of everybody's price range is a Super Bowl.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: And yet right now, it was cheaper to go to
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: last year's Super Bowl in Santa Clara than.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: It would be to go to game one. And probably
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: the last two because we were in New Orleans and
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I had. been continually looking throughout the week because it
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: was a fascinating conversation with the Chiefs going three consecutive years.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: What was it going to do to the prices? And
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: they plummeted towards the end of it. Again, maybe if
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: you can stomach it and wait until 90 minutes before
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: when officially all the secondary markets will lock down their
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: data for what the average get in the door price is,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: then maybe it will change. But drum with you, there's
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: going to be many people that think about it. Cause
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I've still been thinking about it since 2021. After I
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: read that great text that drew sent to all of us,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: a couple of us on the station as the bucks
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: win game four and we're celebrating deliriously of the sunblocks
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: that buy your game six tickets now. Like, wow, that's
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: what I did. That's a cute thought. That's a cute thought.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I probably should, but I'm not.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I'm going to wait until game five. And then they
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: went 18 times, whatever it was, and standing room was $ 1, 300.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: So I've still been kicking myself for that exact moment.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: I wonder if there are a lot of folks that
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: are doubling it up because they didn't take advantage of
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: that moment on that great, what was it, Thursday afternoon
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: when it was 80 degrees out in the Deer District
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: and everybody was thinking about spending their life saving. Great point.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: And it's just speculation like any other market. I think
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: people are... Trying to predict what other people are going
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: to do, which are just predicting what other people are
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: going to do. It's more of an experience-driven culture than
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: ever before. Guys, in the span of just six days,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: we're on track to see the most expensive ticket prices
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: ever for the World Series, obviously. Brewers had raised game
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: one 3.1 thousand right now. NBA regular season, which is
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: the Knicks 76ers game today, which is 1.8 thousand.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, God, yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: And the WNBA Finals, the Dream at the Valkyries, game
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: one for $ 2. 75. So, I mean, it doesn't sound a lot,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: but that's the most expensive ever. So is this just
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: a trend of us as American consumers? Are these events
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: really that great of events compared to the ones in
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the past? Or is there just an infinite market now
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: for ticket demand? And some people have money to throw away.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Not throw away. That's the wrong way to say it.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: They have money to... They have disposable income.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: They have more disposable income to invest and spend, and
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: they're just going to do it? It is interesting, because
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: you think to yourself, there has to be an end
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: to that.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: But what is it? And is there? So someone's paying
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: $ 1, 800 to watch LeBron James break everyone's hearts tonight at
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Madison Square Garden?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: This is according to my man, Ticket Data Keith. He's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite followers in the last week, as
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: you know, Billy, who loves to analyze ticket data on the.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: sports and concerts.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: He said this was a few hours ago after steadily
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: declining ever since the matchup was announced on August 11th.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: They get impressed for tonight's Sixers.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Nick's game has suddenly skyrocketed to almost 2000. That's the
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: highest it's been at any point more than double what
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: it was 24 hours ago.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Well, that must be interesting because maybe there's some folks
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: that are sitting here at outside of MSGC and Tracy
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: McGrady rocking what only can appear to be a reverent outfit. Um, on,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: on national tell that you just missed it. He's got
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: the full small little white collar. That's hilarious. But that
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: does that. That was the time in New York. People
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: had been waiting.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: What?
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Since the seventies for their last title that they just
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: clinched up. So they had waited that long and I
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: was dumbfounded by the prices at the finals. And Armin,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: you did hit it on the head. We are an
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: experience-driven culture. That is one thing that social media has magnified, Drew,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: of being in the venue and being there. That is
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: one time that this one will be something. And I'm
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: excited to watch LeBron go and break everyone's heart.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: You know, for some influencers, they can make the argument
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: or they can cope with the fact that, hey, This
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: is part of my business.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: I have to be at these events. Your girl Bree
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: was at the Dodger games. You think her business model
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: is cracking in for SRO? I think her business model works,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: but not because of me. I'm calling my girl.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Okay. But I think her business model does work, unfortunately,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: because of some situations out there that are kind of
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: human interest.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Billy, can I get a clarification on the, oh, yeah,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: McGrady does look like a, he's a. Doesn't he look
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: like a reverend right now? I mean, Catholic priesthood.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, 100%. Is that blasphemous?
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: They don't sell that on the United Life Church, where
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: you can get the $ 39. 95 packet so you can be ordained.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Billy is a reverend.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Actually, William.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: My question is, Sixers-Knicks, when you're doing the stats, is
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: this a home game for LeBron since it's in Manhattan?
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yes. This is in a home game because the
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: helicopter from his place to Madison Square Garden that I
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: think he said that he bought, you know, two years
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: ago because he wanted to play for the next was
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: was planning on playing for the next. But then they
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: messed it up and went and won the championship last year.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: So I guess I can't play there.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: That's a good one.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: This is definitely a home game. No helicopter ride tonight.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Or maybe the, you know, maybe the ecosystem wins because
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: we have to gas up that helicopter to fly down
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: to Philadelphia.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Now, they are also raising their banner tonight, I should say.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: So maybe that adds some interest for Knicks fans. Yeah,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: what kind of, you just bought the chopper. Just, I'm
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: going to buy a chopper, and he doesn't have to
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: commute today. I thought we learned how that went. Now,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I got to ask you one final thing.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Wow. The Valkyries dream game, is that in Atlanta, or
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: is that at Golden State?
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I'll check that out for you.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. Because if it's in
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Golden State, I'm surprised. Those people have watched so much
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: championship basketball, they don't know what else to do with themselves.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: They're like, wait, Warriors aren't going for a number of years,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: so we might as well jump on this first-year team
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: rolling through out here by the bay. In Atlanta.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: In Atlanta. And they're two-and-a-half-point favorites if you want to
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: jump on that.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: That viewing party at Magic City tonight is going to
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: be off the charts. Do you imagine? Do you think
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: they'll have that game on?
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I don't see why not. They're playing for a championship
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta, right? Yeah, what else are you going to
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: watch while people are eating wings? Isn't that why people
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: go there?
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, watch TV.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: The lemon pepper wings. Yeah. Lemon pepper.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. They watch TV. Lou Williams. If Lou Williams is
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: not hosting a watch party at Magic City, that feels
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: like a mess.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Now, Fernando Mendoza went there.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Was that fake on the Internet?
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: He got takeout.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: He got takeout. He got takeout there. Yeah, he got
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: takeout the night before. That's good. That was well done.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: He had to prep himself for Vegas. He's probably getting
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: no-boot delivered a couple of times. He's got to. Door-dashing
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: maybe the Wynn Buffet every once in a while.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a tough one. Barry's out at Circa. Because
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: you can't enjoy the buffet the way you normally would
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: on a door-dash. I feel like that's got to be
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: an in-person experience. You would think.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you would think so.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Interesting conversation about this. Tickets, and a lot of people
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: have opinions on the.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll spin through some of these. Let us know.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, the one thing that I do have to
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: kind of push back against.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: is people who are seeing these ticket prices and saying, oh,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: the Brewers and MLB are so greedy.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: This ain't them.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: These people that are listing these 400 levels for like $ 3, 000,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: they didn't.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Pay $ 3, 000 for them.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, unless they bought them on the secondary market,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: and then they suddenly can't go or are trying to
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: make a profit on them.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, Drew, it's as my wife said, it's the
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: mean people that are not just selling that for face
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: value to other Brewers fans. I love that. That's what
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I love about it. I love the altruism.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: A lot of bands, like there's a Springsteen message board
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: and they had a ticket exchange. You could only sell
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: them for face value.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: That's what the Savannah Bananas do.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: You could only sell them for face value to other
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: like-minded folks. And sometimes bands will do that. Fan groups
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: will do that. If you're going to sell them here,
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: you've got to do it for face. This is what
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: you have to do.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Or you lose fan points and stuff. Yeah, a little bit.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: It's fascinating.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Again... It is what it is, folks. That's the market.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: The cost of being, oh, darn, I've been wanting for
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: 44 years for the Brewers to go to the World Series,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: so I could bitch about not being able to afford
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: a ticket. That's why, you know what you just need
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: is the Brewers to go like three times in five years.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: And then, you know, that game three ticket in 29
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: will be much cheaper, much more affordable.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: All we have to do is become a World Series dynasty.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, it'll take the family of four if you're
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: becoming a dynasty. Then we'll get bored with it, right?
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Then we might not even show up for game four.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: of the NLCS if our team's on the brink of elimination.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: They'll be having to use those. Let's get the champagne
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: problems wrong. Fan appreciation coupons for those games. I wonder
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: if my broad bad time was taken up. What would
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: they say to me there? Well played. All right.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: 877-794-1973.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: You are in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Back on the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, 920 Milwaukee,
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: 1070 Madison, iHeartRadio app, X, YouTube, and Facebook for the stream. Drew, Billy, Armin,
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: and you. Talking about a number of things. Brewers, Rays,
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: World Series. A couple of similarities between these two teams.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, both expansion era teams that have changed their names.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, I like that one.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: From Seattle Pilots to Milwaukee Brewers and from Devil Rays
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: to Rays. But I like that they're busting the Devil
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Rays stuff back out. I was going to say, both
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: leads to the throwback. By far better than their stuff
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: that they have now. The hat looks clean, too.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: And I never disliked their current colorway and logo and imagery,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: the TB. It's pretty solid, clean, navy blue. But there's
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: something cool about that big old ray with the wings
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: and the colors, kind of that purple and green.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I agree with you.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: So I'd say that's a similarity, both leaning into their
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: throwback look. Yeah.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: We've been talking about the timeless ticket and the, again,
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: shocking prices in the secondary market. Anybody else bitching about
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: $ 98 hoodies?
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I did the Billy, but I don't know that
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: that's anything out of the ordinary for me. Yeah, I
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: hear that a lot.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: That's something, Ed Billy.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I did buy the $ 45 t-shirt just because I couldn't
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: not get something.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: The hats, I think, are pretty 40-something. That's still a lot,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: but it's for a hat that's pretty. Well, the hats
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: are no different than every hat, right? And now a
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: 59-50 hat is costing you 50 bucks.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: That's right. The on-field one, that one's not necessarily different.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I didn't see that being... Too much of an issue.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I agree with you there. A sweatshirt, Billy?
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I'll be also interested to see how many people are
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: jumping off and jumping at the jerseys with the super
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: special World Series patch on it.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: That's the one I think. See, I think most people
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: would like to buy a patch and put it on themselves.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: They're not making that available like they used to probably.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Once upon a time, you could probably get a World
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Series patch. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would think they're
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: going to make sure they don't sell those individually. Because
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: people would just add it to an existing jersey. They
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: used to put it on the sleeve, looked cooler. It
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: used to be a little bit bigger of a look.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Now it's right there on the chest, which I believe
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: there's going to be plenty of those running around here.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Well, it was funny because I was wondering if they
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: would just sell C's for people to add to their
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: yellow jersey for the captain's patch. That would be a
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: smart one. That would be a smart one to do.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't think that's hard to do. To sell in
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: that sense. I don't know. When I went to the
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: team store, I didn't look at the patches, but that
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: World Series jersey, it's going to be sweet. Especially if
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: the Brewers win, you're going to want every piece of
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: memory you can. It's like the Bucs deal. Here's one
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: if you want to get all verklempt today. On the
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Brewers socials, they posted a video of the painting of
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: the World Series logo onto the field. I was wondering
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: when they were putting up the signage outside and stuff
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: like that. I would imagine people want to take pictures
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: and Yeah, on the field. It's cool that we're here.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a dream come true. We're lifted to
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: the heavens. But it's also cool having this little extended
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: layoff because you can think about those things and enjoy them.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: And not have to be rushed into it.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: And the Brewers, as I figured, they're going to get
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: their flowers now, and people are going to be glazing
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: them for a while. Jake Bowers and his wife on
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Good Morning America telling their story. how much you like
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: the health insurance, how he almost walked away, but then
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: needed to, uh, you know, you needed that insurance.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Amazing. Good.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Great story for, you know, leading into what everybody's talking about,
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: health care because of the election and everything.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it is the five hours of pregame that
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: you usually get for the Super Bowl.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: It's the five days of pregame. It's spread out, yeah.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: It just gets spread out throughout, and you get every
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: story that you're going to have told. The Bowers one
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: is going to be a great story to tell. The
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: ties between the two organizations is going to be a
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: fun one. I'm excited to have a little bit of
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: maybe the shine off of over the last couple of weeks, right?
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Like not that, not that he won't get eyes on
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: him and excitement for when he takes the ball in
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: game one, but drew, there isn't the demand and the
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: thirst to hear from him because he hasn't been necessarily
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: greatness to start saying, take a little bit of pressure
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: off the young man that has been working and living
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: in that kind of pressure cooker all year long. Pretty,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: pretty wild.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: I would say that, Oh, yeah, by the way, we
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: got this guy who throws harder than anybody.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, more 100-mile-an-hour pitches are going to win the Cy
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Young going away, but he's probably like.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: The fourth or fifth story right now.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Well, he'll do an availability on Thursday, and then they
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: will build that into a lot of the pregame and
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: just the early coverage at the outset of game one.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: As good as Miz has been, and he hasn't been
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: bad by any stretch in the playoffs, but I think
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: we're still waiting to see his best performance in the playoffs.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think he can, I would hope so.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: He hadn't had much of his command at all throughout
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: the play.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Right. He's good enough for to get by kind of,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: and keep you in games with that and still be
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: a good starter. But obviously we've seen what his potential
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: could be. And it hadn't really been there yet in
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. So you would have to hope, okay.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Well maybe, maybe it's coming here in the world series.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Hope so. I mean, this is the time. That's a good,
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: that's probably the thing to hope for. Time to be
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: their best.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: And maybe with the extended layoff, I know people have
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: talked a lot about it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Will it hurt? Will it help?
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of debate on that, too. I mean,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I know there's some stats. But you would think for
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: a team, power pitching, heavy team, power arms, rest would help, right?
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: You would think that getting those guys revved up, gassed
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: up with the freshest arm possible.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Would help the Brewers. Well, what about Bowers, Drew? I mean,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: you talk about a guy that has had a number,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: he was walking around with like five different injuries this year,
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: and maybe not surprisingly so, he gets a little bit
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: of rest, and then he has his most productive run
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: of a week in the last two months or so.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: Isn't it interesting that the respective MVPs of the LCSs,
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: I say that alphabet soup, Bowers and Freddie are both
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: heading into free agency at the worst possible time when
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: the industry is going to shut down December 2nd, Everybody's
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: going to, if they miss the regular season games, owners
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: are going to cry poor and that's going to depress
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: the free agent market.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: It's talk about bad timing.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: There's no, uh, Larry Brown's my man that played corner
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: for the, uh, the Cowboys, right? That's the pick sixes
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: in the Superbowl. No Larry Brown moment for these guys.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: No owner is just going to be able to jump
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: out and pay it quickly. Or will they, I've heard
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: some folks trying to throw this one out there. I
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: think it was buster only on his podcast this week,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: drew of teams saying that Well, maybe we can jump
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: the gun and try to sign guys before this lockout
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: comes in. Before the December 2nd, you get a month
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: and see if you can get some guys grandfathered in,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: depending on how whatever this new salary structure goes.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: I'm fascinated to see, but you're right.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: These guys are walking in at the worst possible time
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: to strike while the iron's hot, because it'll be about
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: May when you have to go and call up these
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: October highlights again to say, this is how valuable I
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: can be again.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: This is how valuable I can be again. Make sure
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: you sign me.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Jake Bauer is going to be the guy to break
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: the mold and be the back-to-back starting first baseman for
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: the Milwaukee Brewers on opening day.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: That's a great question. There's a lot of questions up
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: in the air about that. He's a free agent. There's
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: this looming lockout potentially. The qualifying offer I saw got
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: pumped up to, what, $ 23 million? It just got dropped today.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: That would be what the Brewers would have to offer him,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: and I would think he'd want to take that. But,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not a good year to be a
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: free agent. But that's a good question, Billy.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: It is. A couple of good times for some free
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: agents in the NFL. Former Packers signing some deals here.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Rams signing veteran kicker Drew Brandon McManus.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, now.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: He and Rappaport, their kicker saga has been very well documented.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: They bring up Blake Groupie after cutting Harrison Mevis. Groupie's
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: first kick as a member of the Rams. He blows
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: out his ACL trying to tackle somebody and getting dusted
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: off like a feather on a shoulder.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: So now they had to go find somebody else. Didn't
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: they get mace for a while too? When Mason was
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: knocking around a bit at the end of his career,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I thought they got Mason for a couple of games.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: So that would be kind of a little trend. Yeah,
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: I'll have to check on that one. He's been gone
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: for quite some time. The 2026 Rams did not dust
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: off the Mason Crosby one.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying I remember him. He was off for
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. I don't think that was the case.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: I do think there was a fact that they had
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: tried Matt Prater, who you want to talk about skeletal
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: remains there, but their punter drew was about to have
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: the greatest week possible. Come in, kick the extra point,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: the game winning extra point. They were about to escape. 16,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: 15 until they didn't until Jack kicked the game winning
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: field goal in the final 40 something seconds of that game.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: The other one and something you want to talk about
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: a reunion that just continually happens. Marquez Valdez, Scantling signing
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: on the practice squad with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Let's go
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: that got to get one more run with MVS. Hang
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: on MVS.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Now, could he get someone to watch his dogs is
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: the question. Because that was a big thing.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: That's a big thing. They went overseas, if you remember.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: I need to know what was going on at the
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: Schmidt household last evening. Were you hard down watching Freddy?
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Rays punch their ticket to the World Series in Milwaukee,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: or were you watching Commanders and Niners?
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: I did sadly watch more of that Commanders-Niners first three
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: quarters than.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Meets the eye.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: It was an ugly affair early, but I luckily was
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: able to watch a decent amount at the end. But
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I was, I was trying to time it up drew
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: as to when to make the final purchase. Cause we
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: had the game three tickets down in Tampa wanted to buy,
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: get the hotel and the on certain airlines, non-refundable airline
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: ticket wanted to make sure that that game was going
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: to happen. So I was as dialed in and as
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: much of a Tampa Bay Rays fan as the members
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: of the faithful waving the towels at the drop yesterday.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: I was living and dying with that Yandy Diaz swing
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: when he put that dagger into him and got those
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: two runs back that the Rays had just given up.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: But 49ers and Commanders, 49ers look pretty dang good, Drew.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: 49ers look pretty dang good as Brock Purdy last night
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: officially becomes official and officially qualified and is now the
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: all-time record holder for passer rating in.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: The National Football League.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: And he's qualified.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: He's in.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. Wow.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Amongst qualified passers. He's been able to cross that threshold.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Remarkable.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: He was the first seventh-round quarterback to start a Super Bowl.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: And for.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Many of us, me being one.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Of those that led the charge to say, dude's just
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: not that good.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know what anybody is watching.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: He's not that good. That was your jihad for a while, yeah.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, God.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: He is continually dunked on that narrative.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: After watching last night, which of the unbeatens will be
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: the first to drop a game? Chiefs, Niners, or Vikings?
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: This is a great question. I like this. Well, we
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: ran through the Vikings schedule a tick. Yeah. It's hard
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: about a week. It gets harder for them. They've got
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: losses coming. Yeah. Probably not this week. I think the
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Chiefs are really, really dangerous. The Vikings will lose at
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Detroit next week. So I'm going to go with the Vikings.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go with the Vikings because the 49ers
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: do just seem... I mean, like, they're rolling. And they have, like,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: all of the little Infinity Stones that the Avengers ended
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: up having.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: They're all activated. And you thought that you had a
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: little bit of an extra one with Mike Evans.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: Their offense is definitely different and was different when he
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: went out of the game last night with that Achilles tendonitis.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Might be an injury I'd be shutting somebody down with. Drew,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: if you, I would say as many people were watching
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: the baseball game, you didn't get probably treated to seeing
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Mike Evans trying to stretch out his Achilles in the
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: tunnel at different times on the field as well. He's
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: doing like downward dog yoga poses and then pulls up lame.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: They were not nearly the same kind of offense when
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: he was not on the field. So maybe that ends
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: up being an issue when they go and take on
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: the Falcons. But the 49ers go to Atlanta, host the Raiders.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: at the Cowboys, and home against the Vikings. I'm seeing
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: some more wins on that schedule, especially if the Cowboys
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: team that we just watched at Lambeau is the one
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: that they face on the 15th of November.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: It's funny because going into the year, everyone was worried
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: about them being good but being kind of old and
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: injured and battered, and it feels like everybody else are
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: the ones that are doing that right now. So I
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: probably would agree with you there, Billy. I don't really
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: believe in the Vikings, although they keep winning. Of course,
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: I'm biased, and I don't like when the Vikings win,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: so that's part of the problem. For me, so yeah.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Vikings had the early bye and a tough slate on
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: the back end of that.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Like after next week, we went through it yesterday. It's
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: pretty rough. Out of those three teams, the Vikings would
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: also be the one that I would bet to miss
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. Like if you were going to go and
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: try to take some kind of swing on Thursday night
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: at the Pottawatomie Sportsbook and you're really trying to bet big,
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: bet bold, and bet above the rest. become an absolute
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: legend in the eyes of Armin Sarian.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: That might be the value that's end up firing it.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Definitely like that.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Really quick on YouTube. Mike Witt dropping one about McManus.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: He said, can't wait for the night before Thanksgiving when
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: he lines up for a field goal to win.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: It versus us and misses. Oh, let's go, Mike.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. I like that.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: One guy, one former Packer that won't be lining up
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: for that one. Devante Adams with a ruptured hamstring. Walked
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: off with a ruptured hamstring. Terrible. I like Devontae a lot,
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: but I think it's great that they won't have to
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: face him. Very much so.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: It's definitely going to help us.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Just saying. Oh, and Terry McLaurin's season is over. Dunzo.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: This Jalen Hurts story continues to get stranger and stranger
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: out there in Philadelphia. Getting spicy as well.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: When we come back, we'll do a little Who's Hot,
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: Who's Not brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Heating and cooling. You are in the huddle.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. We are huddled up on a
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Tuesday in the good land. Drew, Billy, and Armin coming
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: at you. 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison. We are rolling through
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: a Tuesday. And we're talking about this Brewers timeless ticket thing.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: And I just saw that the Brewers have released a statement.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: This is a stunner.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: Rick Schlesinger released a statement saying in part that the Brewers, quote,
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: did not live up to the spirit of the timeless
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: ticket program.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: So.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: Any fans who accepted subpar seats through the Timeless Ticket
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Program will get to keep those seats for the World
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: Series and keep the Timeless Ticket for Redemption for another
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: game in any future season.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Let's hear it for the Brewers. They didn't have to
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: do this. This is pretty impressive in my opinion. And
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: they're smart to do it.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: They didn't have to do this, but Armin, before you
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: congratulate too much, it's called Damage Control PR 101.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: That would be doing the right thing as people were
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: asking them to do.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: That's for sure.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: It's smart, but.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: They would have been fine without it, but you're right.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: It's smart because now they're just pushing the debt off.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, but yeah, this is great. I mean, at
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: this point, now you're like, all right, we're going to
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: do right by you.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: This is a good move.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: Rick's quote was, we subsequently erred in our internal communications
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: on the logistics of fulfilling the requests. While we were
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: able to accommodate all with seats, we received feedback from
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: some that they were unhappy with their seat locations. Clearly,
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: even with extraordinary limitations on available seats, we did not
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: live up to the spirit of the program.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: We have been working through a resolution. This is good.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: He said, we regret our mistake and look forward to
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: welcoming them to America Family Field for their World Series experience.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: We aired in the internal communications of the logistics.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: That is smart. I'm going to write that down. We'll
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: use that in email. We'll break that down for brass
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: tacks of what they did. We sat down, had a meeting,
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: and realized we might have messed up. I realized that
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: we were going to get absolutely roasted for the next
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: week and a half. We don't want all this negative
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: juju going into our biggest week of... Yeah, we're not
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: trying to have anybody talking bad about our organization rolling
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: into the most important run that we've had. And also,
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: very much so. They didn't have to do this. I'm
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: kind of surprised they did. Me too. But the one
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: part of it is, Drew, to your point, all they
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: end up doing is coming up roses.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: You know what that is? Future Rick Schlesinger's problem.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: That's exactly it. Very true.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Future my problem.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Marty Aronsky, that's here. Put that on your plate. Marty,
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: we'll deal with that next year. We'll deal with that
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: next year when they try to cash in again for
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: NLCS worthy. And then on a little who's hot, who's
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: not with Donovan Jorgensen heating and cooling, number one HVAC system,
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: employee-owned HVAC company in the state of Wisconsin. Who's not hot?
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: If I'm reading that correctly, it would be two old
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: boys in Kenosha that decided that they weren't going to
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: get the tickets.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, we took the tickets.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Great. You just won the great lottery ticket. I got
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: to believe that they'll be able to cash in and
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: keep third. You would think.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: You have to now after this, because then they could say, well,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: the Brewers screwed us again.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Well, no, you screwed yourself. Well, I agree with you.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Should have just taken the meal that was in front
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: of you. Somebody would have made it right at the
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: end of the day.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, but after they said, we'll make it right.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: This way, and then don't give me that's a bait.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: They'll have to do it. But you're right, Billy. But
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: will they, Armin?
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: How many tickets are available now? They might say this
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: is still against the principle, and they want to stand
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: by their principles, you know, and say, hey, I still
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: want a better ticket, right?
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Sure, but subject... Okay, well, you do that, then you're
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: just a jackass. That's what I... If that's your case,
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: then you deserve to sit at home and watch the game.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: But if now you actually.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: If you're those two cats, yes, we'd love to be
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: able to help you out.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Don't have anyone. Now, if you're talking about real subject
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: to availability, show me where the availability is. Unless you're
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: taking away the players tickets that Tampa Bay ends up
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: turning back in. It's, you know what?
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: We could use two more auxiliary ushers in the auxiliary
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: press box. What have they got that chance to work?
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: I thought about that. I was like, man, that would
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: have been the ultimate flex is if you got a
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: part-time job this year at American family field and now
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: could go to the world series because of it. But
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: you're right, Billy. I mean, yeah, maybe that if they're SOL, right. S-O-L,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: maybe your S-R-O.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Good one.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Find your way in there.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: S-R-O-S-O-L.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Good on the Brewers.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: You didn't have to, but you did.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: The Brewers PR is now hot thanks to Donovan Jorgensen
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: after being not hot. Who else we got for who's
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: hot and who's not brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen? DonovanJorgensen.com,
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: your HVAC leaders.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Well, Yandy Diaz definitely hot last night with a bomb
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: that ended up capping it off. Junior Caminero hot as
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: well during the playoffs. Those will be the two bats.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: For the Brewers to be able to watch and have
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: to watch and hold down during the World Series starting
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: up on Friday. But who's hot right now? The Philadelphia,
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: the Detroit Pistons were on a 24-7 run to try
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: to close the gap against Boston. They were down 20. Drew,
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: they're getting 20-pieced by Paul George and the Boston Celtics.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Who's laughing now? Who's laughing now at the biggest offseason
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: trade was Jalen Brown for Paul George. People thought... Boston
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: was ridiculous for saying that they were targeting Paul George.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: My man was five of seven from downtown today. And
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: one of the big reasons why they sit with a
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: six-point lead with two minutes to go in the Motor
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: City against the Detroit Pistons coming on here. Also, who's hot?
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Brock Purdy.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: 1,500 passing attempts last night. Becomes the all-time leader in passing...
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: a passer rating in the NFL. Also George Kittle, five catches,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: 69 yards and a touchdown last night. Remarkable stuff. This
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: cat's doing off of a torn Achilles amazing in January. He,
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: we talked about it and we have throughout Packers OT
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: Devante Wyatt, Tucker craft starting to look like himself again,
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: a little bit more. George Kittle's just wrecking that curve.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's Adrian Peterson. He's pulling an Adrian Peterson
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: on this Achilles rehab, Drew.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: And coming back as good, if not better than he
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: was before. The outlier that people hold up, right? It's like, see, see,
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: you can do it. He just did it. You should
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: be able to be like that. Yep.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Who else is hot?
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: Anybody who smacks that Bucs over for 25 and a
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: half victories?
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Don't you think they're going to win more than 25? Okay,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: I want somebody else to be talking me into the
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Bucs over 25 and a half.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: We'll talk more about it tomorrow because they kick off tomorrow.
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: But just out of curiosity, I'm like, where did that
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: end up at? I'll be honest with you, I'm not convinced.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: I saw him live and I was preseason only for
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: a quarter and a half. While my daughter was climbing
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: all the seats. I did see Chris Mannix in his
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: preseason predictions had Kal-El Ware as the most improved player
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: in the NBA.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: That'd be good. I like that.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: He's going to get a lot of ops. It would
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: be a fun story. Especially if you ship somebody off
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: at the deadline.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: That would be good.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: If this team was better than people thought. I mean,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: KPJ's not on the team anymore. A lot of people
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: are wondering why. But hey, listen, I'm going to be mad. Hey,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I saw somewhere that Jay-Z picked himself for a halftime
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: show at the Super Bowl.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Did you get sent out? I haven't seen.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think I think that was on a legit. Well,
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: he is on. He is the search committee. Yeah. So
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: the headline is he picked himself report. So, well, now
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: that would be smart.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: I thought Chris Ballard should have tried to do that
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: when he was on the search committee for the Wisconsin
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Badgers A.D.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Role last year.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: I thought he was saying, hey, you know what? I
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: was searching around this country. You know who might be
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: pretty good at it? There's a guy that's GM of
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts. Yeah, who had it? New York Post. Yeah,
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: it's floating around at a couple of sites. I'll take
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: that as a W. It's from a report.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Listen, if the report's wrong, that's not my problem because
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: I read the newspaper headline. Or is it?
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: That's one of those that I read somewhere. Well, I
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: wrote it down and then I read it.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: But, but, but this is a good brand. This is
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: not like, yeah, this isn't Jim. This isn't Jimbo on
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: sports.com or something.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Timberwolves super fan. One that Mike Keller ran at me with,
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: they just traded for Kevin Durant. Hey, that's on him.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: That's on Mike. And I'm one for one. Cause I
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: got that game seven thing right today. So I'm one
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: for one.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: So I'm feeling myself. I'm feeling myself.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Yes. All right.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: When we come back, our current electric superhero, Hunter Baumgart,
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: is going to join us in the 4 o'clock hour
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: of the program, talk more Brewers, and he's getting ready
• 42:29
