- 0:01Speaker 2: You know.
- 0:01Speaker 3: Again, we could talk to Butchie for an hour and
- 0:03Speaker 3: a half, put a quarter in his jukebox on the
- 0:05Speaker 3: Milwaukee Bucks because Butchy, I don't know, a lot of
- 0:08Speaker 3: people were dialed in on it. But Butchy was doing
- 0:11Speaker 3: post games on Lockdown Bucks as well. He is, and
- 0:13Speaker 3: get some conversation and some reaction to the hiring of
- 0:18Speaker 3: Taylor Jenkins, who we're gonna hear from coming up on Wednesday.
- 0:21Speaker 3: We're gonna hear from Jonathan Gannon officially Packers new defensive
- 0:24Speaker 3: coordinator later on today. Cam Acord also going to join
- 0:27Speaker 3: the special teams coordinator. He's gonna speak and Adam Stenovich

- 0:36Speaker 3: it is a game balls and kicks to the balls Monday,
- 0:38Speaker 3: it is seven o'clock. It is one where we let
- 0:41Speaker 3: our arms stretch. We don't have Hunter bombguard today. He
- 0:43Speaker 3: will join us coming up tomorrow. But a lot of
- 0:46Speaker 3: room for some game balls and kicks to the balls
- 0:48Speaker 3: for folks to be joining us and delivering some And
- 0:52Speaker 3: how about a kick to the balls armin for one
- 0:55Speaker 3: Jalen Brown.
- 0:57Speaker 4: Yeah, we got to spike breaking I think in the in.
- 1:00Speaker 1: The I don't know if you caught much of this
- 1:03Speaker 1: over the weekend.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Now the Sixers eliminate the Celtics on Saturday Night one
- 1:08Speaker 3: O nine, one hundred, Tyrese Maxi puts up thirty, Joe
- 1:10Speaker 3: el Embiidez thirty four. He was really really good, uh
- 1:14Speaker 3: in the last two games of this series. He came
- 1:17Speaker 3: back off of the appendicesitis, was had a rough first
- 1:22Speaker 3: return game, and then was maybe the best player on
- 1:25Speaker 3: the floor in each of the last three games that
- 1:28Speaker 3: the seventy six ers had, where he goes for thirty
- 1:31Speaker 3: three in Game five, which flips the series at three
- 1:33Speaker 3: to one, and then Maxi really took over in Game
- 1:37Speaker 3: six and maybe didn't have to do everything in Game six,
- 1:41Speaker 3: but they ran away from the Celtics in that third quarter.
- 1:44Speaker 3: And then last night or on Saturday night was the
- 1:46Speaker 3: difference in them getting a victory on the road in
- 1:49Speaker 3: a Game seven in Boston. Now, Jalen Brown's feeling some
- 1:53Speaker 3: sort of way about it. Jalen Brown was potentially an
- 1:57Speaker 3: MVP CANDIGET candidate this year. No, j Jason Tatum got
- 2:01Speaker 3: to flex his number one option muscles, got to be
- 2:05Speaker 3: a spectacular regular season player threw out, but then also
- 2:09Speaker 3: after a first round exit, got to be a Twitch streamer.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Sunday went through and took some issue with the officiating
- 2:16Speaker 3: as well as Sixers big man Joel embiid. Now, I'm
- 2:18Speaker 3: gonna read through it because there was some stuff on
- 2:21Speaker 3: this Twitch stream that you just can't say, and there's
- 2:24Speaker 3: also some audio fidelity that might not be perfect, which.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Is what happens on these to us streams. Now, this
- 2:30Speaker 2: is where you're get My man is staring straight into
- 2:32Speaker 2: the camera and saying, Joe em Bead's great player, one
- 2:35Speaker 2: of the best bigs in basketball history. But he flops
- 2:38Speaker 2: and he knows it. This isn't breaking news. It is
- 2:41Speaker 2: what it is. Brown continued.
- 2:43Speaker 3: If you're gonna call pushoffs and call this and call
- 2:46Speaker 3: that same move, same reps. Oh it's nothing, it's playing
- 2:49Speaker 3: on right, But you're gonna call me. Everybody deserve everybody
- 2:53Speaker 3: does it, But if it would have been me, it
- 2:57Speaker 3: had been an offensive file. Every good basketball player does this.
- 3:02Speaker 3: What are we all talking about? They clearly have an agenda.
- 3:05Speaker 3: If Jalen does this move called the offensive foul and
- 3:08Speaker 3: follow him every time. I don't know if it's because
- 3:11Speaker 3: I pissed off refs. I've been critical of them. I've
- 3:15Speaker 3: called them out a bunch of times. So they're like,
- 3:17Speaker 3: you know what I got you in the playoffs? Watch
- 3:20Speaker 3: this because that's exactly what they did.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's a kick to the ball. I think accordingly,
- 3:26Speaker 2: it's clearly an agenda. Come on, they move some refs
- 3:30Speaker 2: that I had shows that I had to choose, and
- 3:34Speaker 2: if I had to say it, say that there are
- 3:36Speaker 2: some refs that need to be investigated.
- 3:39Speaker 1: We had three of them in the last three games.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Arman Jalen Brown on his twitch it's the height of
- 3:44Speaker 1: loser talk.
- 3:44Speaker 2: It's the and I gotta be honest, like, I don't know,
- 3:47Speaker 2: Jalen Brown, you're the finals MVP. You should have a
- 3:50Speaker 2: little bit of a stately miss and stature in this
- 3:52Speaker 2: league that you're above this a little bit. It's the
- 3:54Speaker 2: height of loser talkability for me to sit there and say, well,
- 3:57Speaker 2: there's clearly an agenda against me and this league, Like,
- 4:00Speaker 2: give me a break. You were up three to one
- 4:01Speaker 2: in this series. You were up three one in this series,
- 4:03Speaker 2: and you were the two seed. You wanted to talk
- 4:05Speaker 2: all year about how everybody was wrong about you guys
- 4:08Speaker 2: and having a gap year wrong about you and you
- 4:10Speaker 2: couldn't close it out and the best you can come
- 4:12Speaker 2: up with as well, there must be an agenda about me,
- 4:15Speaker 2: Like there must be an agenda, league wide agenda to
- 4:17Speaker 2: like get back at me. Talk about main character energy billion.
- 4:21Speaker 2: He's a great plates, great play it is. He's a
- 4:24Speaker 2: great player in this game. There's no doubt about it.
- 4:26Speaker 2: But like, give me a break. I don't know if
- 4:28Speaker 2: he's sitting around saying we're gonna get Jaylen Brown back,
- 4:30Speaker 2: by god, Look you said it. This is the game.
- 4:33Speaker 2: If he flops, he flops, so be it. Like this
- 4:35Speaker 2: is the way the game is. Like figure it out,
- 4:37Speaker 2: overcoming and will your team to victory. One of the
- 4:39Speaker 2: women is nonsense about how there's some league wide agenda
- 4:42Speaker 2: against you. That's the height of loser talk to say, well, well,
- 4:45Speaker 2: this game's rigged. That's why I lost my bet. We
- 4:47Speaker 2: hear this all.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Because of me, And I also love that it's because
- 4:50Speaker 3: of me that that I pissed off the raft. That's
- 4:54Speaker 3: why they've said it against me because my personality is
- 4:56Speaker 3: so compelling. Yeah, Like, are you that good of a
- 4:59Speaker 3: player where individual officials would set and put their livelihoods
- 5:05Speaker 3: and reputations at stake to go and get Jalen Brown.
- 5:08Speaker 3: I appreciate that you think that way, but it's just folly.
- 5:12Speaker 3: That being said, I also think that it's comical that
- 5:15Speaker 3: his best two games, at least scoring wise, were the
- 5:17Speaker 3: two games that they lost. Yeah about that Game two
- 5:19Speaker 3: in Game seven, right, his two thirty pieces were both
- 5:21Speaker 3: in those games. Now, it wasn't like he was a
- 5:23Speaker 3: slouch in the rest of the series, but was definitely
- 5:26Speaker 3: a different player ones Tatum came back, and Tatum's re
- 5:30Speaker 3: emergence into the lineup might have been a different beast.
- 5:32Speaker 3: And then obviously they don't have them in game seven.
- 5:35Speaker 3: When that news came out two hours or so before
- 5:37Speaker 3: the game, I'll be completely honest with you, it almost
- 5:41Speaker 3: went over my head that he exited Game six because
- 5:43Speaker 3: it was such a whoopin in the second half that
- 5:46Speaker 3: you almost forgot about the fact that he checked out
- 5:49Speaker 3: and that he possibly could be missing Game seven. But
- 5:51Speaker 3: you watched a lot of great players end up missing
- 5:53Speaker 3: Game seven, a lot of players that when you're looking
- 5:56Speaker 3: at the conversation around the NBA in the regular season,
- 6:00Speaker 3: and now I think the load management is a little
- 6:02Speaker 3: bit over exaggerated when you actually dig into the amount
- 6:06Speaker 3: of games that a number of guys playing, the players
- 6:08Speaker 3: that right now are driving the bus for the NBA,
- 6:12Speaker 3: it is more times than not.
- 6:14Speaker 1: A significant amount of games.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Right Like, they're not just sitting out random games because
- 6:18Speaker 3: they don't feel like it. And also, teams that are
- 6:21Speaker 3: paying salaries are the ones with hiring trainers that are
- 6:24Speaker 3: sitting guys down.
- 6:25Speaker 1: They're just the.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Quiet part out loud. But when the Raptors are missing
- 6:31Speaker 3: brandon Ingram, Celtics are missing Jason Tatum, Franz Wagner was
- 6:36Speaker 3: a complete difference maker for Orlando if we missed the
- 6:39Speaker 3: last three games. Like, the injuries are going to be
- 6:41Speaker 3: a major, massive piece of it, and you know, to
- 6:45Speaker 3: localize it and think about it from the Bucks perspective,
- 6:48Speaker 3: it kind of feels like it rips. Jalen Williams is
- 6:51Speaker 3: also an injury question mark on the Western side. Don't
- 6:53Speaker 3: even get me started with the West on the injuries
- 6:55Speaker 3: that they have going through. It feels like the injuries
- 6:58Speaker 3: have We've seen it debilitate the Milwaukee Bucks, but it
- 7:03Speaker 3: almost feels like a fact of the roster build and
- 7:06Speaker 3: teams that are now maybe a little bit forward thinking
- 7:09Speaker 3: on it, and you can only you can only wish
- 7:12Speaker 3: cast injury luck so much. Right There's only so much
- 7:16Speaker 3: prepping you can do for players that have been durable
- 7:19Speaker 3: or guys that are able to withstand the series and
- 7:22Speaker 3: maybe get better as the series goes on. There's only
- 7:25Speaker 3: so much forecasting you can do. But we're seeing it
- 7:28Speaker 3: every single year, and maybe re emphasized Harsher this time
- 7:31Speaker 3: around that it's always going to end up being the
- 7:33Speaker 3: healthiest team always goes through this two full month grind
- 7:37Speaker 3: of a NBA playoff, And I feel like.
- 7:39Speaker 2: It hasn't always been historically dis impactful in the NBA,
- 7:42Speaker 2: and we usually talk about it billion in terms of
- 7:44Speaker 2: the NFL and the NFL playoffs, about who's healthy by
- 7:46Speaker 2: the end of the year, but it seems like lately
- 7:48Speaker 2: it's been a lot of that and whether or not
- 7:50Speaker 2: the load menal some people have strong opinions on this.
- 7:52Speaker 2: The load management doesn't help as much as we think
- 7:54Speaker 2: it does, or it helps or hurts, or are guys
- 7:57Speaker 2: playing through stuff the way they used to, or guys
- 7:59Speaker 2: just simply saying I'm not going to play through certain injuries.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Not really sure, it's an individual thing, case by case.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Only those guys know what the reality is. These injuries,
- 8:06Speaker 2: Billy are having a big effect. And you know we
- 8:09Speaker 2: saw the Jaylen Brown numbers. Yeah they went up, but
- 8:11Speaker 2: he also took a lot of shots there in that situation,
- 8:13Speaker 2: so it's not a good look for him. I think
- 8:15Speaker 2: to complain after him and give him the chance to say, Okay,
- 8:17Speaker 2: can you do it yourself? Can you wild this team
- 8:19Speaker 2: to victory and letsten I get it. Maybe the roster
- 8:22Speaker 2: isn't what it was with Tatum out, but they couldn't
- 8:25Speaker 2: get it done and the Sixers did, and you know,
- 8:27Speaker 2: run to that excuse. I don't know, pretty rough one.
- 8:29Speaker 2: But the injuries are having a monster effect. That Wagner
- 8:32Speaker 2: won is a monster, monster impact on that Celtics. I'm
- 8:36Speaker 2: sorry the Magic and Piston series and we know how
- 8:39Speaker 2: that one turned out. So yeah, I think that's a
- 8:41Speaker 2: fair kick to the balls, I really do.
- 8:43Speaker 3: What about a fair game ball too? Even though in
- 8:45Speaker 3: a losing effort. Hollo Bencaro my man answered the bell
- 8:51Speaker 3: after he had a dismal four for twenty performance on
- 8:55Speaker 3: Friday night in Game six at home, where we almost
- 8:59Speaker 3: had back to where teams were trying to out brutalize
- 9:03Speaker 3: each other in the terms of they were trying to
- 9:05Speaker 3: play the worst half of basketball any of us have
- 9:07Speaker 3: ever watched.
- 9:07Speaker 2: This was a if you were, like, if you were
- 9:10Speaker 2: nostalgic for those nineties NBA, especially like little mid to
- 9:13Speaker 2: later when there's seventies and eighties, those.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Games Thursday and Friday, where you're hell.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Those were your games. Just beating the hell out of
- 9:18Speaker 2: each other, can't make shots, a struggle to score, just
- 9:21Speaker 2: an absolute rock fight type feel. That was your moment
- 9:24Speaker 2: right there. Yeah, but my.
- 9:25Speaker 3: Man Ben Caro came out with thirty eight yesterday, knocked
- 9:28Speaker 3: down four triples. He did everything but win that damn
- 9:31Speaker 3: game for for Orlando, they were close, but just not
- 9:34Speaker 3: good enough. Kate Cunningham's legitimate, amazing, amazing, incredible and feels
- 9:39Speaker 3: like one of the players that now the rest of
- 9:41Speaker 3: the NBA world is starting to be able to learn
- 9:44Speaker 3: a little bit.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Well, you know, when you're a young team, Billy and
- 9:46Speaker 2: you have a season like that, sixty wins, first of
- 9:48Speaker 2: all that stuff, there's a little bit of all right,
- 9:50Speaker 2: but you gotta show us what you can do in
- 9:52Speaker 2: the playoffs more so than ever. I think you'd say, right,
- 9:54Speaker 2: because this is the era where the regular season the
- 9:57Speaker 2: playoffs have been the most vastly different. Right, So it
- 10:00Speaker 2: could be a lot of you showed us a great
- 10:02Speaker 2: season regular season, but what does that really mean? How
- 10:04Speaker 2: good really are you? And for the first four games
- 10:07Speaker 2: of the series it was like, I guess you're a
- 10:09Speaker 2: paper tiger, like the Emperor has no close Like you
- 10:11Speaker 2: aren't that team, You aren't very good. And to the
- 10:14Speaker 2: Pistons credit, they find a way to reverse that whole
- 10:16Speaker 2: Titanic around and and bring the ship back up and
- 10:19Speaker 2: and and reverse the entire narrative around that team and
- 10:23Speaker 2: around what they're doing. Now we'll see what they can
- 10:24Speaker 2: do the next round. The East is wide open. But
- 10:26Speaker 2: to their their credit, you can and I like the man.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Carrol also in the post game came out and said, look,
- 10:31Speaker 2: I'm gonna be completely honest with you. We haven't gotten
- 10:34Speaker 2: in the first round, so I'm not really sure if
- 10:36Speaker 2: we're if we do have enough talent to go deep
- 10:38Speaker 2: in the playoffs, I don't know if we are that team.
- 10:40Speaker 2: He was He was honest about it. He didn't give
- 10:42Speaker 2: a he didn't give any excuse ones, that's for sure,
- 10:45Speaker 2: and maybe that's what you need out have of a leader,
- 10:46Speaker 2: because the Magic are hoping that he's gonna be that
- 10:48Speaker 2: guy obviously in the future, to emerge as their centerpiece,
- 10:52Speaker 2: as the guy that can bring them to deep playoff depth.
- 10:54Speaker 2: So well, the is that a message to the front
- 10:57Speaker 2: office say we need to get better? Ah?
- 10:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Also, if I remember correctly, there were some good uh
- 11:03Speaker 3: headbutting going on between him and the head coach, him
- 11:05Speaker 3: and Jamal Moseley, I believe is the pronunciation I'm a
- 11:08Speaker 3: man's name.
- 11:09Speaker 1: YEAHO that that feels like.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Uh, that guy out of here? Hey, al right there,
- 11:16Speaker 2: and maybe uh hey, we need some more help, we
- 11:18Speaker 2: need to be honest. I'm not really sure if this
- 11:20Speaker 2: is all posturing now, I want to before I forget,
- 11:23Speaker 2: wanted to mention quickly, I'm a Jaylen Brown thing. One
- 11:25Speaker 2: hundred and thirty six to one hundred and thirty two
- 11:27Speaker 2: foul calls in that series, so pretty even. Oh wow,
- 11:29Speaker 2: that doesn't really help for his argument there as opposed
- 11:32Speaker 2: to like Buck six Ers two thousand and one, where
- 11:35Speaker 2: they had like the Bucks had like twice the amount
- 11:37Speaker 2: of foul calls.
- 11:38Speaker 1: I was gonna say, almost doubled up.
- 11:39Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say that, Yes, twenty five years later,
- 11:41Speaker 2: I don't know if I'll ever get over it. That's
- 11:43Speaker 2: just the way it is. I suld like that.
- 11:45Speaker 3: Chase Jalen Brown is just like, hey man, they're screwing me.
- 11:49Speaker 3: How are you guys not watching this?
- 11:50Speaker 2: But you know't believe it's these twitch streams. I mean,
- 11:52Speaker 2: we talked about posta. They get people in trouble with
- 11:55Speaker 2: people talking. I mean now twitch streams are doing it.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Quick game ball to my man, Dave let's go day.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Feeling in the Bruis show yesterday, Well done, Davey. You
- 12:04Speaker 2: sounded great. I was listening to it, getting the getting
- 12:06Speaker 2: the Bruis fans ready yesterday, well done. And I think
- 12:08Speaker 2: you're doing it today as well.
- 12:09Speaker 5: Damn, I'm feeling in for Hunter again today. He needs
- 12:12Speaker 5: another day. Let's go kind of recover there. And and yeah,
- 12:15Speaker 5: talking baseball for an hour is surprisingly not that difficult
- 12:18Speaker 5: for no, no, no.
- 12:19Speaker 1: No, that's so that's a labor alone.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Let him know, let him know, let him know. And
- 12:24Speaker 2: I want to say, I don't know the right way
- 12:25Speaker 2: to say that. It's like kick to the balls all
- 12:26Speaker 2: baseball fans right now, we saw the Johnson.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to give John Sterling a game ball.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Well he gets the game ball.
- 12:35Speaker 1: He gets the game ball.
- 12:35Speaker 3: But you're right, it's a kick to sports fans. You're right,
- 12:38Speaker 3: it is a kick to all sports fans.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Uh.
- 12:41Speaker 3: Coming out over the last couple of minutes that the
- 12:43Speaker 3: legendary voice of the New York Yankee, John Sterling, has
- 12:46Speaker 3: passed away eighty six years old.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Uh.
- 12:49Speaker 3: He is the voice of some of the greatest catchphrases
- 12:52Speaker 3: in all abroadcast.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a master at doing it.
- 12:55Speaker 3: A true u performer of the industry. Not as much
- 12:59Speaker 3: any more. Are you allowed to.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Again? I want to make sure they do this right.
- 13:05Speaker 3: Put on more of a performance, a lot more of it.
- 13:09Speaker 3: People just believe it, all right, you're just doing the job,
- 13:12Speaker 3: blocking and tackling. What is the start? Say cut him
- 13:14Speaker 3: and crack him. The x's and o's are the broadcast.
- 13:16Speaker 3: That might not have been what everybody would listen. However,
- 13:19Speaker 3: you listened to John Sterling, you were gonna get the
- 13:21Speaker 3: x's and o's. He was gonna do it properly. But
- 13:24Speaker 3: my man was an absolute showman, and that celebration.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Of Yankees or he's just going nine rounds invisible boxing
- 13:34Speaker 2: there in the broadcast. My man getting hit in the
- 13:36Speaker 2: head with a baseball and then continuing to do a
- 13:39Speaker 2: do an inning outs that hurt, that hurt, that.
- 13:41Speaker 1: One actually cut me.
- 13:43Speaker 3: He'd like people would think he was almost the greatest
- 13:47Speaker 3: broadcaster in like a cartoon, because you're like, this guy
- 13:51Speaker 3: sounds there's no way that's actually him actually really, Oh,
- 13:54Speaker 3: he did it every single day to the greatest level.
- 13:59Speaker 3: It's uh, it's sad that he again feels like what
- 14:02Speaker 3: we said this with Bob when when you unfortunately passed
- 14:05Speaker 3: away last year, and it feels like we're losing those
- 14:08Speaker 3: guys every single and it does feel like John Sterling
- 14:11Speaker 3: might be like the last of that great generation of
- 14:15Speaker 3: dudes that did it just a different way that I
- 14:17Speaker 3: don't know the folks coming out of Syracuse are going
- 14:21Speaker 3: to be able to do anymore. Like I don't believe
- 14:23Speaker 3: there's ever gonna be the putting on the performance and
- 14:26Speaker 3: the art of broadcasting and loving the game that way.
- 14:30Speaker 2: Yeah, to your point, it wasn't necessarily like the you know,
- 14:33Speaker 2: the Vince Scully like you know, picture of perfect blocking
- 14:36Speaker 2: and tackling textbook way to do it. But in a
- 14:39Speaker 2: lot of ways, Billy and you talk about those golden
- 14:41Speaker 2: age guys, he was the one that almost was made
- 14:44Speaker 2: more for this generation of media, for the videos on
- 14:48Speaker 2: the broadcasters, for TikTok, for the catchphrases, for the funny
- 14:52Speaker 2: highlight moments. In a lot of ways, he was more
- 14:55Speaker 2: built for that with the way he was delivering the
- 14:58Speaker 2: delivering the goods and delivering the cond So another.
- 15:01Speaker 1: Fair it might it might.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Actually allow folks to feel like you can be a
- 15:07Speaker 3: little bit more boisterous and have some fun in there now.
- 15:09Speaker 3: Granted he's also in a booth right like, he's not
- 15:12Speaker 3: gonna be like our kids that high point that had
- 15:14Speaker 3: the broadcast cam on them were losing their ever loving
- 15:17Speaker 3: minds on the court. That's a little different when you're
- 15:20Speaker 3: sitting up in a booth and you're broadcasting two fans
- 15:23Speaker 3: like he got to be the biggest fan on the radio.
- 15:26Speaker 3: That was pretty cool and uh a sad one to lose,
- 15:29Speaker 3: because that's an absolute legendary, legendary guy. A text message
- 15:34Speaker 3: for a mark to share a bomb are just the
- 15:36Speaker 3: greatest ability to give nicknames.
- 15:39Speaker 2: Gardener plants one remember that one.
- 15:41Speaker 3: Another great one wives where gardeners were planting a lot
- 15:46Speaker 3: of things from what.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Our pause pause, Yeah, no doubt about it. And like
- 15:49Speaker 2: I said, I just feel like, you know, this day
- 15:52Speaker 2: and age, every broadcaster coming up is gonna have a
- 15:54Speaker 2: tape on himself, right, I mean, and like he never
- 15:58Speaker 2: came up that way, but he just did it because
- 15:59Speaker 2: that was the way he did it. And that's what
- 16:01Speaker 2: I always appreciated about John Sterling. So it's tough, it's uploading.
- 16:04Speaker 2: Obviously did it for the iconic franchise, the New York Yankees.
- 16:08Speaker 3: They also, if I'm not mistaken, didn't they like he
- 16:11Speaker 3: kind of retired and then they're like, hey, by the way,
- 16:13Speaker 3: the game suck.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Now they more games.
- 16:16Speaker 2: He brought him back. Yeah, that's right, and then they
- 16:18Speaker 2: almost won the title, which would have been the year
- 16:21Speaker 2: that they brought him back.
- 16:22Speaker 3: I would have been that would have been a great
- 16:24Speaker 3: cap cap to it. Instead, you've done good, rest, rest easy,
- 16:28Speaker 3: bud all rise, Here comes the judge?
- 16:30Speaker 2: Was that Aaron Judges? I'm just trying to find the
- 16:32Speaker 2: best telling them, you know, famous l copy time. Uh,
- 16:36Speaker 2: it's a Soto photo. He's wonderful. Just there's so many
- 16:41Speaker 2: Robbie Cano don't you know. Yeah, that's another good one.
- 16:44Speaker 3: Don't you know? He was hitting a lot of bops.
- 16:47Speaker 3: Robbie had a lot of help for that time. Oh,
- 16:51Speaker 3: that's that's a tough one. That's a that is a
- 16:53Speaker 3: titan of broadcasting. Uh lost and John Sterling, congratulations on
- 16:58Speaker 3: a beautiful sports life, well well lived eight seven seven
- 17:02Speaker 3: seven nine seven three. Also kicking the balls to Celtic's
- 17:07Speaker 3: Nikola Vusovich.
- 17:08Speaker 4: Who breaking up in the uh in the cabin.
- 17:12Speaker 3: Yeah, there might be a fistfight breaking down in the
- 17:14Speaker 3: cabin after that video. Did you see the video that
- 17:16Speaker 3: uh that they were able to capture a five bitch
- 17:18Speaker 3: sitting on the sideline picking his nose and eating it.
- 17:21Speaker 2: I think I missed that one, and I'm kind of
- 17:23Speaker 2: happy I did the way you're describing, but I don't
- 17:25Speaker 2: think I saw it.
- 17:26Speaker 3: I'm man, I like they zoomed in on this dude
- 17:28Speaker 3: at the absolute worst possible time, had to do a
- 17:32Speaker 3: conversation quickly.
- 17:33Speaker 1: I mean a little seven second.
- 17:35Speaker 3: Here's Nikola Vutsovich, who they picked up at the trade
- 17:38Speaker 3: deadline and then ultimately got hurt. I think he broke
- 17:40Speaker 3: his hand and missed like maybe a month and can't
- 17:42Speaker 3: really get himself back in and now here's here's my
- 17:45Speaker 3: man doing the third grade move, picking his nose and
- 17:48Speaker 3: eating the bogger.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Now, be honest, guys, now that we're on camera all
- 17:51Speaker 2: the time in this business, don't you get worried about
- 17:53Speaker 2: that a little bit?
- 17:54Speaker 1: No, because I don't eat my books.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Okay, I don't eat my boogers either, But I'm sure
- 17:59Speaker 2: I'm sure that if you if one hundred percent of
- 18:02Speaker 2: the time, I'm not perfect, not embarrassing myself on this
- 18:04Speaker 2: yere stream, which, by the way, you can find us
- 18:06Speaker 2: at uken x Facebook. We're always on there.
- 18:10Speaker 1: A really good question.
- 18:11Speaker 2: ASK's huge. I mean, I gotta be honest with you, guys.
- 18:13Speaker 2: You know it's me. I'm not one hundred percent perfect.
- 18:16Speaker 2: I mean, I trip over stuff in my own house
- 18:18Speaker 2: all the time. Like so, I'm sure I embarrassed myself,
- 18:20Speaker 2: but thankfully, I don't think anyone cares enough yet to
- 18:22Speaker 2: make me viral for like scratching my nose or like
- 18:25Speaker 2: you know, yeah.
- 18:26Speaker 3: I think like boogers when when the first thing I did,
- 18:30Speaker 3: uh me personally, I'm not gonna speak for everybody else,
- 18:32Speaker 3: but for me personally, my like my first week getting
- 18:37Speaker 3: paid in uh sports media. Yes, right after I was
- 18:40Speaker 3: in intern and by that they mean a guy that
- 18:43Speaker 3: works for free and gets coffee, I uh and cut podcasts.
- 18:47Speaker 3: I was tasked with going to the Greg Monroe introductory
- 18:51Speaker 3: press conference, your big break, right, my.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Big break, big moment, big signing. At the time, obviously
- 18:57Speaker 2: we went crazy.
- 18:58Speaker 3: Here's fifty eight million bucks was gonna that was gonna
- 19:01Speaker 3: be a legit piece. That was excit was the interior
- 19:04Speaker 3: score that you needed well and dave that you actually
- 19:06Speaker 3: still dropped the ball into the post and let the guy,
- 19:08Speaker 3: you know, god forbid play play play big when when
- 19:12Speaker 3: the Moose was being interviewed by Sophia Minnertu, I potentially
- 19:16Speaker 3: put my recorder back in my pocket and readjusting myself
- 19:20Speaker 3: right live on camera. So I think I've done like
- 19:22Speaker 3: the worst things you can be doing in in video.
- 19:25Speaker 3: So like maybe that's just where I don't have any
- 19:27Speaker 3: shame in the video stream being able to see us.
- 19:31Speaker 3: But I think that just softened the blow for me. Arman, Like,
- 19:33Speaker 3: there's not gonna be much that this stream on YouTube
- 19:35Speaker 3: is gonna catch that's gonna be worse than the twenty
- 19:37Speaker 3: year old Billy looking straight into the red light of
- 19:40Speaker 3: at the time Fox Sports Wisconsin and then realizing like,
- 19:43Speaker 3: oh my god, I'm about to get fired, and then
- 19:47Speaker 3: my phone buzzing, and then realizing that the unit was
- 19:50Speaker 3: talking about it and did two hours on it.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Oh wow, dude, it was well, actually it was. It
- 19:55Speaker 2: ended up being the big break because I got back
- 19:57Speaker 2: and my man, my.
- 19:58Speaker 3: Man, Mario that trained me go. I wish I would
- 20:00Speaker 3: have grabbed myself like that two years ago.
- 20:02Speaker 2: You never know what's gonna work for you.
- 20:04Speaker 3: I wish I would have grabbed myself on camera four
- 20:06Speaker 3: years ago. I'd have been in a lot better spots.
- 20:08Speaker 3: So listen, you never know, kids, what's gonna be that
- 20:10Speaker 3: moment you turn that frown upside down. Yeah, you turn
- 20:13Speaker 3: chicken into chicken salad, and then all of a sudden
- 20:17Speaker 3: you could be sitting here hanging.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Out with armand sorry and interns. Almost could be made true.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Dave Gasper's on the other side. He's producing the program today.
- 20:24Speaker 3: He's also hosting the baseball pregame show tonight. As the
- 20:27Speaker 3: Brewers get set to take on the Saint Louis Cardinals,

- 21:14Speaker 3: Heating and cooling is what they do and they've been
- 21:16Speaker 3: doing it better than everybody else because they're the largest
- 21:18Speaker 3: employee owned HVAC company in the state. Donovan Jorgenson dot
- 21:21Speaker 3: com for more information. Who's hot category of who's hot,
- 21:25Speaker 3: Who's not? Hard to not put Jarrett Allen in that mix.
- 21:29Speaker 3: My man closed out the game last night Center for
- 21:32Speaker 3: the Cleveland Cavaliers.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Like nobody's business.
- 21:35Speaker 3: Dominant twenty two nineteen, Boards had a double double in
- 21:40Speaker 3: the third quarter when they ultimately outscored the Raptors by
- 21:43Speaker 3: twenty and won the game. Charles Barkley a couple of
- 21:46Speaker 3: days ago on Inside the NBA said that he's like, man,
- 21:50Speaker 3: this guy's like a really nice guy, and he could
- 21:53Speaker 3: be like the most dominant player in the league, but
- 21:55Speaker 3: he's just a nice guy. And he decided that he
- 21:57Speaker 3: wasn't going to be so nice in that third quarter
- 21:59Speaker 3: and just started Ye I'm on. Everybody got himself in
- 22:02Speaker 3: on a super special graphic that said only him and
- 22:05Speaker 3: Lebron James. That's generally a good group to be in. Sure,
- 22:09Speaker 3: only twenty five and ten playoff performances by a Cleveland
- 22:13Speaker 3: Cavalier in history, Yeah, that's a pretty good company to
- 22:16Speaker 3: be in. Ultimately earns you in the hot category.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Yeah. Can I give an honorable mention for hot for
- 22:23Speaker 2: hockey in French Canada, the Canadians last night winning Game seven.
- 22:27Speaker 2: We haven't got a chance to talk a lot about
- 22:28Speaker 2: it yet. It's not often, Billy, you went into a
- 22:31Speaker 2: game in hockey and only nine shots on goal, But
- 22:34Speaker 2: that's what they did two to one. Only nine shots
- 22:36Speaker 2: on goal. But found a way to get a big
- 22:38Speaker 2: Game seven win, and you know they're excited up in Quebec.
- 22:41Speaker 2: You know how it goes up there, and they love
- 22:43Speaker 2: it because Toronto's out of there, you know, they haven't
- 22:45Speaker 2: been involved and they get to make fun of them
- 22:48Speaker 2: while winning a playoff series.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Now will the rest of Canada adopt the Canadians.
- 22:53Speaker 2: No, I don't think that's how it works up there.
- 22:54Speaker 2: I could be wrong, like you, You and I might
- 22:56Speaker 2: assume that, but I'm pretty sure that's not how it
- 22:58Speaker 2: works in canad.
- 23:00Speaker 3: I thought everybody was cheering for the Oilers the last
- 23:02Speaker 3: couple of years, right because they're in the final. They're
- 23:05Speaker 3: trying to finally get a Canadian and they're.
- 23:08Speaker 2: A Central while they're like a Central North Canada team,
- 23:11Speaker 2: Legacy Canada.
- 23:12Speaker 1: Trail is a little different story.
- 23:13Speaker 2: I think they're more like to some people. You know,
- 23:16Speaker 2: remember they were they were gonna secede and do all
- 23:18Speaker 2: these things and Copeg. So I think there are a
- 23:20Speaker 2: lot of people that aren't like big fans of manch Now,
- 23:22Speaker 2: maybe Edmonton was more than United, I'm not really sure.
- 23:25Speaker 3: Maybe like Ottawa's like that, I'm not really sure. Like that,
- 23:27Speaker 3: I like that there's a little bit of a divisiveness
- 23:29Speaker 3: up there in Canada.
- 23:30Speaker 2: And then they're like, we know how long it's been
- 23:31Speaker 2: for Canada to get a uh, you know, a Stanley
- 23:34Speaker 2: Cup winner, and then they were the last ones and
- 23:37Speaker 2: ninety three. So we'll see, maybe Montreal can do it,
- 23:39Speaker 2: but uh, I don't know.
- 23:40Speaker 3: One of my favorite memes of all time was Tiger
- 23:43Speaker 3: Woods and John Daly, uh the t box and Dailey
- 23:47Speaker 3: smoking the sick. Of course, Tiger Woods was like Colorado
- 23:50Speaker 3: Avalanche nine goals, John Daly Canadians nine shots.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Both teams won.
- 23:58Speaker 4: Both ball teams went last night as there was a
- 24:00Speaker 4: nine to six final as the Avalanche, in a wild performance,
- 24:04Speaker 4: beat the Minnesota Wild in game with one with four
- 24:08Speaker 4: goals in.
- 24:09Speaker 1: The third period. That will win you most games.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Also in the hot category, Kate cunninghamp because his name
- 24:14Speaker 3: is hot after this playoff run that he's happened thirty
- 24:17Speaker 3: two and twelve yesterday, as Detroit basketball avoided being the
- 24:22Speaker 3: goat in the old.
- 24:23Speaker 2: Fashion of what it used to mean. Yeah, that's a
- 24:25Speaker 2: good point. That's a good point. Billy tough and in
- 24:28Speaker 2: that regard the grinders, all right, I got a good
- 24:30Speaker 2: who's not for you. This is a who's not. This
- 24:33Speaker 2: is somebody will never say, I mean almost never, very
- 24:37Speaker 2: very rarely will we ever say this man is not
- 24:40Speaker 2: and for him it's not. Shoe Heel Tani goes hitless
- 24:43Speaker 2: in his fourth straight game. This is very rare. It
- 24:47Speaker 2: hasn't happened in four years now. A lot of baseball
- 24:49Speaker 2: players go hitless for four games. That things just happen.
- 24:52Speaker 1: That's a normal occurrence.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Yeah, man, Yeah, well emotional damage you had to throw
- 24:58Speaker 2: Joey and oh yes, always always notes the not.
- 25:03Speaker 3: If it wasn't, If it wasn't after Donovan Jorgensen heating
- 25:07Speaker 3: and cooling, who's hot who's not?
- 25:08Speaker 2: The not category would potentially be the Jones Ortiz cat
- 25:12Speaker 2: that would be. But I just think it's less fair.
- 25:14Speaker 2: But yes, that's true. Well it's fair.
- 25:16Speaker 1: It's no, it's very fair. I mean it does not
- 25:19Speaker 1: have an extra base hit.
- 25:20Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not that's not a.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Good We're now trending.
- 25:24Speaker 2: We're at what six weeks into the state in the seas. Yeah,
- 25:27Speaker 2: well today the day is the one extra base hit.
- 25:30Speaker 2: I think today it's going to happen. And that's my prediction.
- 25:33Speaker 5: Look at you, Okay, one and a half total basis
- 25:36Speaker 5: a sportsbook.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Get ready for armand sarians over one and.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Betting today was the day. Come on, if you didn't know,
- 25:43Speaker 2: I believe today's the day. All right, Today's the day.
- 25:47Speaker 2: By the way, show Hayes over his last fourteen that
- 25:49Speaker 2: hasn't happened since twenty two years old. Twelve.
- 25:52Speaker 3: I saw him get plunked yesterday on like the slowest
- 25:55Speaker 3: curve ball of all time. Yeah, and right center cheap,
- 26:00Speaker 3: I mean, like split the cheeks with a sixty nine
- 26:03Speaker 3: mile an hour curveball, and he's just laughing going on
- 26:05Speaker 3: that's less yea, well, sweet, I actually get on base now.
- 26:08Speaker 2: At least it gets a stretch a little bit. The
- 26:10Speaker 2: least the mine I'll ever heard of. One of those situations.
- 26:12Speaker 3: Who's hot category, I gotta put Logan Henderson in there.
- 26:15Speaker 3: That man was beautiful yesterday. Six innings, three hits, two runs,
- 26:19Speaker 3: both earned because he fell going to cover first base.
- 26:23Speaker 3: That's a tough scene, a tough scene for Logan Henderson.
- 26:26Speaker 3: But eight k's no walks now, Dave, you said you
- 26:29Speaker 3: think he's going to be in the rotation for at
- 26:31Speaker 3: least another start, potentially two.
- 26:33Speaker 5: Yeah, I would expect that just with Brandon Woodruff being
- 26:37Speaker 5: on the il now, Woodroff says he thinks it's going
- 26:40Speaker 5: to be a minimum stint.
- 26:42Speaker 1: We'll see about that.
- 26:43Speaker 5: I'm not necessarily so convinced because he dropped eight miles
- 26:46Speaker 5: an hour in velocity.
- 26:47Speaker 3: And I also don't think Dave, that it would be
- 26:50Speaker 3: a bad thing to make it an additional turn through
- 26:53Speaker 3: the rotation, right, Like I think, like in all reality
- 26:55Speaker 3: we were talking about it, of forecasting him, if you
- 26:58Speaker 3: got twenty two stars twenty two million, you felt pretty
- 27:02Speaker 3: happy about that, Like you knew he was gonna be
- 27:04Speaker 3: baked in that you're gonna have to give him a
- 27:05Speaker 3: little bit of rest. And if it's the most important
- 27:07Speaker 3: to be pitching games in August and September, this doesn't
- 27:10Speaker 3: feel like a bad time.
- 27:11Speaker 1: To give him two weeks to be able to build
- 27:13Speaker 1: that thing back.
- 27:14Speaker 5: No, it's certainly not a bad time to just give
- 27:16Speaker 5: him a little bit of a rest there, just try
- 27:17Speaker 5: and make sure that velocity comes back. And also, this
- 27:20Speaker 5: is why you got all the depth that you did
- 27:22Speaker 5: in the offseason. That's why you got Kyle Harrison and
- 27:25Speaker 5: Shane Drowen and Brandon Sprote to help fill out this rotation,
- 27:29Speaker 5: and you have all those depth options down there in
- 27:31Speaker 5: triple A that you can turn to, like a Logan
- 27:34Speaker 5: Henderson to come up and fill in.
- 27:36Speaker 2: And without skipping a beat.
- 27:37Speaker 5: I mean, if you had a healthy Brandon Woodruff, is
- 27:40Speaker 5: he gonna throw six innings a two run ball? Probably Bill,
- 27:44Speaker 5: I mean Logan Henderson. Yeah, this is exactly why you
- 27:47Speaker 5: have this depth, and I'd expect them to run with
- 27:50Speaker 5: him until Woodroff comes back.
- 27:51Speaker 3: I also would would urge them to use Logan Henderson
- 27:54Speaker 3: because he's just been good when he's come up.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Now.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Granted, I know he's twenty four, and I know last
- 27:58Speaker 3: year when he make one or two starts, right, he
- 28:00Speaker 3: had the first start was really really good and at
- 28:03Speaker 3: some particular point you don't want to be wasteis is
- 28:08Speaker 3: good bullets now there in a we're just joking about
- 28:11Speaker 3: it with wags in a in a sad, almost morbid sense.
- 28:14Speaker 3: You know, these guys that are pumping ninety six ninety
- 28:16Speaker 3: seven upwards of one hundred miles an hour are going
- 28:19Speaker 3: to potentially have an injury at some particular point.
- 28:22Speaker 1: If the guy can get big league hitters out doing.
- 28:25Speaker 2: In the big leagues, let's get big league hitters out,
- 28:28Speaker 2: let's do this instead of getting guys out of Triple A.
- 28:30Speaker 1: He had a one O two E ra A for Nashville.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Is that too? That seems pretty cool? Saying that's pretty coo.
- 28:37Speaker 3: He also looks like he also appears to be because
- 28:41Speaker 3: he's not as small as Zach Davies, but gives a
- 28:44Speaker 3: little bit of Zach Davies vibes. He does seem like
- 28:47Speaker 3: the uh, like the guy that you'd not be worried about.
- 28:51Speaker 3: She tells me not to worry about al some Logan
- 28:53Speaker 3: Henderson comes up mustache and he's like, yeah, don't worry man,
- 28:57Speaker 3: We're just we're just friends.
- 28:58Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent.
- 29:00Speaker 3: All of a sudden, well, she's ghosting you because she
- 29:01Speaker 3: got Logan Henderson. Now she said, uh, get out of here,
- 29:04Speaker 3: bat boy good. That is a wild story, Dave. Has
- 29:07Speaker 3: anybody ever followed up on the Zach Davies love and
- 29:10Speaker 3: no longer love story?
- 29:12Speaker 2: That's a great question.
- 29:13Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything.
- 29:14Speaker 2: It crossed my mind a couple months ago that I
- 29:16Speaker 2: remember that happening. I think the reason people haven't done
- 29:18Speaker 2: it much is because he hasn't been that good in
- 29:21Speaker 2: the in the Major league since he's.
- 29:22Speaker 3: Been he still I was gonna say, I think he's
- 29:25Speaker 3: still in the big leagues if I'm not mistaken.
- 29:27Speaker 1: At least he's on this year's MLB The Show.
- 29:29Speaker 2: You know what, I don't know. I mean he has
- 29:31Speaker 2: not listened anywhere this year on Baseball Reference.
- 29:33Speaker 1: In the majors in twenty twenty three. Wow, maybe it
- 29:37Speaker 1: ruined his career.
- 29:38Speaker 2: Wow, that shocked me. So I guess that's your answer.
- 29:42Speaker 2: He thought he was the man and he was hot
- 29:43Speaker 2: cheeks that last season at Arizona.
- 29:45Speaker 3: In the Who's Not category, Zach Davies after he ghosted
- 29:48Speaker 3: his wife and just basically told her that we're no
- 29:51Speaker 3: longer married because I'm blocking your number and never talking
- 29:53Speaker 3: to you.
- 29:53Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounded like a real piece of work with that.
- 29:56Speaker 1: That sounds like it sounds like a guy that's in
- 29:58Speaker 1: the not category.
- 29:58Speaker 2: Potentially who's hot? Maybe Zach Davey's ex wife I have,
- 30:02Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't. Maybe trend line could be going
- 30:04Speaker 2: way up for her. Oh, I didn't mean physically. I
- 30:06Speaker 2: just meant like in terms of success and.
- 30:09Speaker 3: Why, I know what you meant, life, life, enjoyment, we're
- 30:13Speaker 3: gonna make Also, probably I was gonna say, probably not,
- 30:16Speaker 3: probably not super unfortunate looking eight seven seven seven nine four.
- 30:18Speaker 2: We'll try to do some research on this. I'm gone,
- 30:20Speaker 2: I'll try and work on this. Someone's gonna be on
- 30:22Speaker 2: a podcast. Someone's gonna carenna say, wait, this feels like
- 30:26Speaker 2: a Kelly Stafford podcast and waiting.
- 30:28Speaker 1: I wonder if Jonathan Lucroy will dive into that. That's
- 30:31Speaker 1: the next oneodcast.
- 30:32Speaker 2: That's yeah, that's that's gonna come up this week sometimes.
- 30:35Speaker 3: So the Lucroix video that I saw you mentioned it,
- 30:38Speaker 3: by the way, Donovan Donovan Jorgenson Heating and cooling the
- 30:41Speaker 3: best employee on largest employee on HVAC company in the
- 30:45Speaker 3: state of Wisconsin, Donovan Jorgenson dot com. Don't get somebody
- 30:49Speaker 3: that acts like an expert, go to the experts. That's
- 30:51Speaker 3: Donovan Jorgenson dot com.
- 30:53Speaker 2: What was the video?
- 30:53Speaker 3: Is that Jonathan Lucroy's podcast that I saw the video
- 30:56Speaker 3: of him trying to trash and see me trying to
- 30:59Speaker 3: make the brew look bad in the trade conversation that
- 31:01Speaker 3: he was having.
- 31:02Speaker 1: I think that was someone else's poet. So he was
- 31:04Speaker 1: a guest on somebody else's podcast.
- 31:06Speaker 2: I'm trying to source the actual podcast.
- 31:08Speaker 1: The whole conversation.
- 31:09Speaker 3: The impetus of it was Jonathan Lucroy trying to make
- 31:13Speaker 3: David Stearns look like a bad guy. From at least
- 31:15Speaker 3: what I was able to gather in the conversation of
- 31:18Speaker 3: he put out teams that were on his no trade list,
- 31:22Speaker 3: gave that to the Brewers.
- 31:23Speaker 1: The Brewers then traded him.
- 31:25Speaker 2: To a team that was on his trade list in
- 31:28Speaker 2: the Cleveland at the time.
- 31:29Speaker 3: I believe Indians. Yes, now, first off, wasn't a bad
- 31:33Speaker 3: place to go. Would have been a good place to go.
- 31:35Speaker 3: They were a good team at that point. If I'm
- 31:36Speaker 3: not mistake, they seems like a good year to go
- 31:40Speaker 3: to the Cleveland Indians Instead. Jonathan Lucroy decided otherwise because
- 31:44Speaker 3: he did not want to go there. He wanted to
- 31:46Speaker 3: go to the Dodgers from all conversation, and there was
- 31:50Speaker 3: one other team too, he said he it seems like
- 31:52Speaker 3: he was trying to put the Brewers on blast.
- 31:54Speaker 2: I don't know that it landed as well as he
- 31:56Speaker 2: kind of made it thought that it was going. It's
- 31:58Speaker 2: funny because a lot of people feel it did. I've
- 32:00Speaker 2: been I've been kind of back and forth on it.
- 32:02Speaker 2: I don't know how to feel about it. He did try.
- 32:05Speaker 2: I think it's gonna work for him because there are
- 32:07Speaker 2: so many angry Mets fans right now and they need
- 32:09Speaker 2: a villain, they need a scapegoat, and that's Sterns, right,
- 32:12Speaker 2: And that's it was about Sterns. So I think that's
- 32:15Speaker 2: why he's gonna get a lot of support because this
- 32:17Speaker 2: is the this is the big piece of meat. That's
- 32:19Speaker 2: the Mets fans need to get to make Sterns the.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Villain might be public enemy number one, That's.
- 32:24Speaker 2: What I'm saying. So I think that's why he'll get supported,
- 32:27Speaker 2: whether or not he put.
- 32:28Speaker 3: I meant it must have been reading it more with
- 32:30Speaker 3: Brewers algorithms.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Which you should, which you should be. I mean, obviously
- 32:33Speaker 2: that's a worldview on the problem.
- 32:35Speaker 3: With lot of the comments I'm at least making off
- 32:38Speaker 3: of it, I was like, well, yeah, they took the
- 32:42Speaker 3: best trade package.
- 32:43Speaker 1: At the trade deadline. That is kind of the deal
- 32:45Speaker 1: he did.
- 32:46Speaker 2: It was kind of sketchy where they weren't going to
- 32:49Speaker 2: say it to his face to the team that he
- 32:50Speaker 2: was getting.
- 32:51Speaker 1: Traded, not telling him which team.
- 32:53Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, well you told me that you're trading me,
- 32:55Speaker 5: you might as well just tell me what team it is.
- 32:57Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk out here and find out then.
- 32:58Speaker 5: So yeah, and just kind of like the people management
- 33:02Speaker 5: of it just kind of seems off, you know, like
- 33:05Speaker 5: the people skills there for David Searns, Like cause if
- 33:08Speaker 5: if you want just the best package, you'll be like, hey,
- 33:11Speaker 5: we traded you to Cleveland. We think they got the
- 33:13Speaker 5: best package, and you know, just think it over. That
- 33:17Speaker 5: probably would have gone a whole lot differently. Now David
- 33:19Speaker 5: Stern's twenty sixteen this would have been one of his
- 33:22Speaker 5: first was his first full season, first full season because
- 33:25Speaker 5: he takes over the last like week and a half
- 33:27Speaker 5: of twenty fifteen.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, yeah, got hired then, so you grow into
- 33:32Speaker 1: the job. I get that.
- 33:34Speaker 3: I like, but again there's there's certain times where it
- 33:37Speaker 3: is supposed it doesn't have to be super touchy feely
- 33:40Speaker 3: his job. Yeah, and like there's there's a there's a
- 33:43Speaker 3: way of doing business, no doubt about it. And and
- 33:45Speaker 3: could you be more with a better bedside manner? I
- 33:49Speaker 3: guess he's also the first year on the job. I
- 33:51Speaker 3: also just love the fact that uh LUCROI conversation is.
- 33:55Speaker 1: Hot on the algorithm. It's big it's big, immediate.
- 33:58Speaker 2: I didn't know that he was like some one of
- 34:00Speaker 2: a political activists and that that's the undercurrent to this
- 34:03Speaker 2: whole thing. It seems like people are taking a position
- 34:06Speaker 2: on this Jonathan Lucroy's game. It seems like people are
- 34:08Speaker 2: taking a position on this whether or not they like
- 34:09Speaker 2: his other stuff, which is fine, but I think that's
- 34:12Speaker 2: one thing you have to at least acknowledge when you're
- 34:14Speaker 2: discussing this specific clip and how it relates to Sterns,
- 34:17Speaker 2: is that some people also seem to have an opinion
- 34:19Speaker 2: on it one way or the other. And that's what
- 34:21Speaker 2: it is. By the way, this was the to the
- 34:23Speaker 2: Majors podcast hosted by MW veterans Cody Allen and Kevin
- 34:26Speaker 2: Pillar or Pillar or Polar. I think, yeah, so I
- 34:29Speaker 2: don't know, I've never heard of this podcast before that,
- 34:32Speaker 2: but then again that's true. A lot of them, so yeah,
- 34:34Speaker 2: that's true. A lot of those will help their algorithm
- 34:36Speaker 2: speaking of it. So a lot of discussion on them,
- 34:38Speaker 2: and that's Twitter about it.
- 34:41Speaker 3: Met's Twitter is a fun place to go to you'll
- 34:43Speaker 3: talk about just like people watch.
- 34:45Speaker 1: Yeah, one of the beautiful.
- 34:47Speaker 3: Things about Summer State Fair summerfest, all the beautiful festivals
- 34:50Speaker 3: that are going around in the state of Wisconsin during
- 34:53Speaker 3: the summer. People watching one of my favorite parts of it.
- 34:55Speaker 3: Uh hate watching on Twitter and seeing folks lose their
- 35:00Speaker 3: loving minds about their team. Being cheeks is a beautiful
- 35:03Speaker 3: thing to be able to do. So congratulations Jonathan mucro.
- 35:06Speaker 3: I hope he's happy. Didn't realize that he was getting
- 35:07Speaker 3: into a world of political activism, but hey, I'm down
- 35:10Speaker 3: for it. Man, go and live here content the content guy.
- 35:14Speaker 1: Now that's awesome. Yeah, okay, good for him.
