• 3:03
  Speaker 6: excited to have you back in the fold in Milwaukee.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: You know, you played with the team twenty twenty, twenty
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: twenty one, and now we're back in this assistant hitting
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: role here. How has the transition been from player to
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: coach and coming into Milwaukee, Yeah.
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: I mean it's definitely it's definitely different.
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: You're learning every day. I mean you learn every day
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: as a player, no matter how long you do it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: So being something new just it's nice to have something new,
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: but with familiar a couple familiar faces already being here
• 3:36
  Speaker 8: and kind of knowing how some of the stuff you
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: know works from you know, seeing how it was when
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: a player. But for me, it's just continuing to learn
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: every day and leaning on some guys that have done
• 3:48
  Speaker 8: it for a while and just continuing to follow in
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: their footsteps and hopefully I can bring some stuff to
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: the table too, and just continue to help each other
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: because at the end of the day, it's it's all
• 3:59
  Speaker 8: about trying to get as many wins as possible for sure.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: And as you mentioned some familiar faces. What do you
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: remember most about your time playing here in Milwaukee?
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: Winning It's why you play the game, It's why you
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: want to be a part of teams. Is you want
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: to win. It's a long season and you play a
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: lot of games, and winning is winning makes everything better
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: and winning's fun.
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: It's hard to win in the big leagues.
• 4:27
  Speaker 8: And it was something that I enjoyed every minute of it.
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: It was a great group of people, the culture.
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: Everybody came to the ballpark with one thing in mind,
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: and that was how are we going to score more
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: one more run than them tonight and win a game.
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: And it's really cool when you have a group that
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: starts from top to bottom that everybody's.
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: In it for the same reason.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: When it was announced that you were coming back to
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: Milwaukee in this coaching role, I know a lot of
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: people were circulating the video of the walk off Grand
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Slam against the Cardinals, one of the great memories of
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: your time in Milwaukee. What do you remember about that
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: at bad at just that moment in front of the
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: Brewers fans in September and a Pennant race.
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think what you just said was the biggest thing.
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: I just I had been hurt for you know, two months,
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: a month and a half, whatever the time was, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: the team was playing really well, and anytime you come back.
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: You just you just want to contribute.
• 5:19
  Speaker 8: And when you're not able to play, and you're not
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: able to contribute, it's hard to watch from the outside,
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: but you just want to get back as fast as possible,
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: and when you do, you just want to do what
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: you can to help the team win. And obviously, with
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: me being injured, you know, your role changes a little
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: bit coming back. So it kind of went from starting
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: to pin hitting, which was perfectly fine with me because
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: we were winning and you know, when you get your
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: number called, it's you just want to do what you
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: can to you know, help the team win, and that
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: was just a pretty cool moment that it was able
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: to come through.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, I know, I know Brewers fans absolutely loved it
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: and excited to have you back in Milwaukee. Last year
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: you were a special assistant for hitting with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: What made you want to get in to coaching so
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: soon after playing.
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: Uh, I don't know that it was like a plan.
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: I just think that, you know, when I was done playing,
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: I always said when I was done, I was done.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: I wasn't gonna linger. I wasn't gonna, you know, just
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: play to play. Very thankful for the career that I had. Uh,
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: wouldn't change it for anything. And just when I was done,
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: you know, there was opportunities that kind of presented itself
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: and talking with my wife and kind of seeing, you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: what path we wanted to go.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: I just you know, I love the game. I just
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: I love the competition.
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: I love winning in the big leagues, and like I said,
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: it's really hard to do and it's something that you know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: the playoffs is addicting.
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: And I didn't get to win a World Series when
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: I played.
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: Obviously got to play in the playoffs, but something that
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: I definitely am still want to do, and it's uh
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: so the only way to do that is to get
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: back in the game. And I love help people and
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: I love being a part of good groups, and this
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: is just something that presented itself, and uh, you know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: I'm just gonna dive into it and see where it
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: takes me.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: For sure.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And what did you learn?
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: You know, a couple of things that you learned last
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: year in that first year as a coach in Pittsburgh
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: that you that can I'm sure help you as you
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: come into Milwaukee this season.
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think, you know, going from playing to coaching,
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: I think that obviously, when you play, you don't control everything.
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: You don't control a lot, but you still have some
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: control of the game. Uh And when you're on this side,
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: you really don't have any control because you're not playing anymore.
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: So I think the biggest thing is just you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: continuing to you know, prepare like you can and help
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: as much as you can.
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: But at the end of the day, it's.
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: All about them, and it's no longer about you, or
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: it's no longer about you.
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: Know what I have to do tonight to it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: It's no longer about yourself, never never will be, and
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: it's about them and the games about the players, and
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: it's always been about the players, and so it's just
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: something that you have to put everything into them, and
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: you know, when you do that, that's the fulfilledment that
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: you get back, rather than when you play. You know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: the fulfillment you get back is you know your performance
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: on what you did to help the team that night. Well,
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: you don't perform anymore because you don't play anymore. So
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: for me, it's putting everything you can into the players
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: and watching them perform and seeing them performance the fulfillment
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: that you get back.
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: Do you feel like that adjustment and mindset from player
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: to coach was pretty easy just because of how long
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: you've been around the game.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: At the major league level, it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: Was definitely an adjustment.
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I like to think that When I played,
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: I like to I always pry to myself and trying
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: to be a good teammate, and I think that that
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: comes with helping others and being there for others.
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: So I think it's a lot of the same thing.
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: I think that you'll be a good teammate as a player,
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: and you can be a good teammate as a coach,
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: because at the end of the day, players players need you,
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: and you know they can help them out when you're playing,
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: not necessarily much as the coaching side, but you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: just being there for them and being a good teammate
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: because the game is long, the season's long. So I
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: think that for me as a mindset, I've always tried
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: to put others first, and coaching is.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: That's what it's about. Like I said, it's it's about
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: the players, and it's you got to.
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: Put them number one, and they are number one, because
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: without players, there is no baseball.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: Love that assistant hitting coach for the Milwaukee Brewers, Daniel
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: Vogelac joining us here on the huddle, Hunter Bomber with you.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: So after you get the call from the Brewers that
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: they want to bring you in, what is your process
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: for preparing for spring training. I'm sure obviously you had
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: a process that you went through as a player. How
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: how has that changed and have you been kind of
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: trying to watch a lot of tape of the Brewers.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: Obviously you were in the division, so you're familiar and
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: familiar with some of the guys, as you mentioned, But
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: what's kind of that process been like preparing for Spring.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: There's Hunter Bomb Guard with you.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that.
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: I mean what you said, you're just watching a bunch
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: of video trying to get familiar with guys, and then
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: you just want to get to know them. You want
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: to get to know them personally, you want to get
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: to know them on what makes them go.
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: And this game is this game's really hard.
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: So it's just as much as important about getting to
• 10:36
  Speaker 8: know the person and the player as it is you know,
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: getting to know their swing.
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: Because the swing comes and goes. There's a lot of guys.
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: I mean, the swing's going to change multiple times through
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: the year depending on how you're feeling and how your
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: body's moving.
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: But who you are as a person doesn't change and
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: what makes you go doesn't change. So just trying to
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: get to know the guys and uh, you know, just
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: continuing to learn.
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: For me, like leaning on people that have been in
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: the organization for a long time, just because I played
• 11:02
  Speaker 8: there a while back. You know, things change and it's
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: way different, so being on this side, so just trying
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: to continue to learn, lean on people that, like I said,
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: have been there and you know, know how the process
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: works and know how this side works and along that way,
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: just watching video and getting to know them personally.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: This team has a lot of young talent. Obviously ninety
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: seven wins last year. How excited does that make you
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: to come into an organization that has, you know, obviously
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: a lot of promise and promise and expectation coming into
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: this season.
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I said it earlier in the interview.
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: I mean the game of baseball, it's winning. That's why
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: you play it. And they've done it for a long time,
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: and I think it's credit to the top to bottom
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: on how the organization is run and obviously how Murph
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: does things, and you could tell the I mean they
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: play hard every single night. There's not a lot, not
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: a lot of things you can control in this game
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: at your effort and mindset is one of them. And
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: just being on the other side watching him play, they
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: do that really well and you know they it's it's
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: really cool to watch and I'm excited.
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: To be in the dugout for it now.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you mentioned Murph there. You played when obviously he
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: was the bench coach. What did you enjoy about him
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: as a player and what are you looking forward to
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: when it comes to you know, working under him on
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: the coaching staff.
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, your first question, it's very simple for me, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: I say this to everybody. All you can ask for
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: in this game is honesty. And Murph's gonna tell you, honestly,
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: exactly what's on his mind. You never wonder what is
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: what's going on in his mind or what he's thinking
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: about you, because he's going to tell you. And sometimes
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: it's not what you want to hear. But all you
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: can ask for as a player is honesty and he
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: is that way and I respect him for that, you know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: a ton. And for your second question, what I I mean,
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: I just want to learn. I mean, he's one of
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: the best baseball minds I've ever been around. The way
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: he thinks about the game, the way he goes about
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: is you know, game planning stuff, and how he thinks
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: about the game, but most of all, how he gets
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: his players to play for him. You see it every night,
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: like they play so hard, and that's credit to the leader.
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: So I'm just excited to learn and watch, you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: sit back and use my eyes and you know, use
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: my ears and just listen and watch and it's really
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: cool to see. And I'm anxious to I'm excited to
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: get a get there and be a.
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: Part of it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: Daniel Bolgelbac, assistant hitting coach for the Brewers, joining us
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: for just a couple of more minutes here on the huddle. So,
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: as you mentioned it, it's all about winning three straight
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: division titles for this team. What about this organization that
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: you noticed as a player and just from watching the
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: outside and now now being in it again, that.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Makes this organization so unique?
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: About the success that they are able to have and
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: finding the right guys.
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, I think it's pretty simple. I think it's
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: the way they treat people. They being a part of organizations.
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: I mean they treat people. They don't treat people like
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: baseball players. They treat people like human beings. And that's
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: a big difference in this game. They care about you,
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: They they love you. They treat you the way you're
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: supposed to be treated. They care about families, and that
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: goes a long way because people only see the you know,
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: one hundred and sixty two games on the field, But
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: there's a lot more to baseball than that. I mean,
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: there's life, and there's families, and there's it's hard.
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: I mean it's hard.
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: It's a hard game that we play because of the
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: time frame and the travel and everything you do. And
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: you know the best, You play the best when you
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: feel the most comfortable. So the way they treat people
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: and the way they go about things, it's something that
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: you know, I think is at the top of the
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: list on why they're so successful with things, and then
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: obviously the players they get.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: But it starts for me. It starts with the way
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: they treat people. Yeah.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: And also Matt Arnold said when you were hired about
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: how just you you played many different roles in your
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: career you mentioned earlier at Bench Start, you know, different
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: ways that you could impact the game. How much does
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: that help you when you're coming into a coaching role
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: to prepare players for any circumstances that they may be
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: in as a player.
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure.
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: I mean I think everybody, no matter what role you're in,
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: Like I said earlier, you have to get to know
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: them as a person, so you have to know what
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: makes them go, how they you know, like to prepare.
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: I was a guy that when I.
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: Was dhing or pinshitting like, I wanted to be in
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: the dug out the whole time. I wanted to be
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: a part of a game. I wanted to feel like
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: I was a part of it. But I've been with
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: other veteran guys that you know, they want to be
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: in the cage getting ready for their So I think
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: it's just getting to know the guy and how they
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: like to prepare and.
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: What they like to do.
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: But definitely I think that, you know, it's a mental
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: part of the game that hopefully I can help guys
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: out with.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: But I'm just excited to be a part of it.
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: And I'm excited to be a part of a.
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: Group that is hungry and feel like they're you know,
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: maybe some come up just short a couple of years
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: that feel like, you know, ready to get over the hump.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: And I'm just excited to be a part of it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: And we're excited to have you back in Milwaukee, Daniel
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Vogel Block really appreciate the time today and looking forward
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: to seeing you in Milwaukee throughout the season.
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: I appreciate it. Thanks for having me there.

  Speaker 3: You go back to you guys at home.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Ladies, gentlemen talking to the Brewers new assistant hitting coach Am.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: I the only one that was a little disappointed on
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: the YouTube that not see voguey with like a couple
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: of unbuttoned, a couple buttons undone, but like I did
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: wonder if we were going to see sign right there
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: on the signature. However, I love the The winning is
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: the reason why at the early point in my Brewers
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: fandom drew that I'd never think somebody would say the
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: reason why I wanted to come to Milwaukee is all
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: they do is win. Right, there is a time and
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: place where that was the furthest thing from a part
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: of the vocabulary. Instead, he hit it on the head.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: They've won, they haven't gotten over the hump. See if
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Daniel Vogelback's help can aid some of these young players
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: get through the difficulties of aitas Spectacular.
• 17:01

  Speaker 2: A Hanada. Absolutely thatfe is next. You're listening to the
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin twenty, Milwaukee ten seventy and
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Madison everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. That music means we
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: could say hello to our pal, President of Milwaukee Admirals
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: LFA John Greenberg.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Greene. How are things?
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Thanks are beautiful here in the metropolis of Rockford, Illinois
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: or getting ready for tonight's All Star Games. So, uh,
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: you know, we obviously go get to Rockford a lot
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: because our team plays here a whole lot.
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: And that's the.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: First time for me to ever actually have stayed overnight
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: in Rockford and I look forward to get home.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry about that dream come true for you.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: I'm sure Greenee, Yeah, you get to go to Rockford
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: and stay over and everything like that.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the All Star Games in the Midwest, which
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: begs the question, when can we have one of those
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: here in Milwourk talking.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm ready at a host an All Star Game.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know about you said you were getting that job. Well,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: I'm saying I'm ready for us as a as a
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: group of get like that.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, what's that process? Like, Greennie, they haven't been
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: in the Midwest in a long time.
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: In your league, they have not been in the Midwest
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: a long time.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: And we we get asked this question a lot. And uh,
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: you know, I think as long as we've been going
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: through this, and people like Coachella Valley out in California
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: and San Jose, you know, people like that have had
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: interest in doing it. You know, last year I was
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: playing golf at the All Star Game out in Coachell
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: at Valley. So we can't really compete with that, but
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: I know that Milwaukee will throw a great party. We're
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: really good at that. When the time comes for us
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: to do something like this, and you know, just have
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: to find ways to carve out space in our building
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: to do an event like this. You got to be
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: able to do a lot of things that require no
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: other events in the building. And if we can find
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: times to do that, you know, in the coming years,
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: we'll go. We'll try and do it. There's there's a
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: bidding process to do this. Next year's game has already
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: spoken for in Cleveland, so we will had the Cleveland
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: next year. But we'll see where it goes down the road.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: I love the idea and also Greeney, I think there's
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: a number of different things. Okay, sure you might not
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: be able to play golf. Are they going to have
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: multiple you know amfs where we could open it up
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: and have a full bowling.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Sorry, we can open up X golf. We can find
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: some ways.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: However, you're right, the block of time in the events
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: the full week includes is maybe the biggest part of it.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: What is all of the pageantry for these guys, because
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: obviously the All Star Game in the NBA will take
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of arrows. This weekend rightfully deserved, because it's
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: going to kind of stink potentially, But what is the
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: week like for these guys who are getting celebrated and
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: honored rightfully for the season they've had.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: The Obviously they're flying in and they're driving in with
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: his Ryan Ifko. Our players case was from wherever they're
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: coming from. So they played a game on on Saturday
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: night and you know, had a day off on Sunday
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: and then have done a plane on Monday to fly
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: to Chicago and then come here and.
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: They yesterday, uh you know, it was a day.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: To kind of just get your your feet wet and
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: get in the locker room. And they had the Embassy Suites,
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: which is the hotel where our players are staying at.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: Uh they it's only just a couple of black walks,
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: so it was kind of cool. There wasn't like a
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: bus to go there. The players all walk together, uh
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: from the Embassy Suites and came to the hotel and
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: or sorry to the arena and then uh uh you
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: know they get in that room.
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: And there are there's a ton of stuff to autograph.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: I think Drew you could certainly uh attest to you
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: know what that looks like at all Star games, you
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: guys extending autograph your autographic jerseys and pucks and hats
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: and T shirts and everything else. And it's just a
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: it's an assembly line to get all that done. And
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: then finally you get to go out out and participated
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: in the skills competition, which you know, they they assign
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: you to a skill so that you don't maybe necessarily
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: have to do something you're not comfortable. You know, some
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: guys aren't going to be the fastest skaters, some guys
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: are going to have the hardest shot, but we want
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: the right guys doing that. And you know they you know,
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: see the talk line introductions, you know, which we do
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: on our blue line. But I will tell you that
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: you can tell that the people of Rackford do not
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: care for the Walkee aprils.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Poor Ryan Upko, who has about ten penalty minutes
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: the entire season, was booed vociferously and we talked about
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: him afterwards. I talked afterwards and he said it kind
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: of made him laugh. He goes, I knew I was
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: gonna be I was really going to get it when
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: I heard the guy from Iowa getting it like.
• 22:50
  Speaker 9: They don't like us.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess you got to respect the rivalry of
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: the home crowd ravalry but booing ryanoff. I mean, come on,
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: it's like Bowe and Santa Claus. But I mean some
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: people have done it again and I I just don't
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: get it. But it's nice to know, Greenie that we're
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: in the heads of Rockford fans, right, that's the way
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: I look at it.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: Happy to live there, rent free, and uh we're actually
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: playing there this weekend, so you haven't got two games here.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: So Ryan's gonna get to go home, uh uh after
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: the game to night and then turn right back around
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: on Saturday and come back down here and play Saturday
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: and Sunday. So uh, he'll he really probably you know,
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: get some.
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: Type of residency here for that, but we'll he probably
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: doesn't want to admit that.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: What's life like for the your not all stars. It's
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: almost like that this is the rest and recharge time,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: almost like Christmas.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: Week, right it is, you know, guys kind of scattered.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: There's a really good time for our groups to take
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: a break. You know, it's been a bit of a
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: grind in the last six weeks or so, and uh,
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: we've got guys scattered all over right now. There's there's
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: a few guys that have made it to Florida. Uh,
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: if you guys made it to California, and then uh,
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: you know Ryan is the is the guy representing us
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: here in Rockford. So you know, it's a good chance
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: to decompress and they'll get back to Milwaukee and practice
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: on Friday and hopefully recharged and ready to go into
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: the second half.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Talking with John Greenberg, president of the Admirals here on
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: the huddle.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: And how about Greeney. You know nine or so home
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: games coming up in like a three and a half
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: week stretch. There's a couple of doubleheaders on the weekends
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Friday Saturday, then Saturday Sunday into leaping into March as well.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: It's fun to be able to get a bunch at
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: home when you have been on the road for so long.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: How much do you think that can kind of help
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: with the continuity of the squad as well. They get
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: a little bit of rest, a lot less miles on
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: the bus, and then also maybe some more practice time
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: because at the end of the day, you're still trying
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: to get yourself better. You don't want to be playing
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: your best hockey way quite yet.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think this is gonna be a really critical
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: time for our group because we've been really good at home,
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: we haven't been very good at the road. I think
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: everybody admits that. So this is a chance to make them, Hey,
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: get some points, pile up, and then hopefully figure out
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: the road. So being able to sleep in your own
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: bed every night is there's something for that. And these
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: are important games for the hockey side. It's also a
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: really important time for the business side that we continue
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: the momentum that we've been building over the last six
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: weeks or so. From an a tenant perspective, the crowds
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: have been phenomenal, you know, averaging almost seven thousand people
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: at games since the middle of December, and so that
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: there's a lot more of that coming on the schedule.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: So Greeny with the NHL like taking a little break
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: for the Olympics and you guys having several former admirals
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: players playing. Is it like fantasy football where you find
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: yourself cheering for both sides in a game. What's it
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: like watching because you're always going to cheer for your
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: former players. Of course you want them to do well.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely want our guys to represent well in the Olympics.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: But if they're playing against the United States, I'm sorry
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: boys cheering for the Red for sure, and but he
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: would be great to see the guys that are playing
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: for Finland and Sweden and the Swiss and the guys
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: are all over the place in these Olympics, and it'll
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: be great, you know. And I hope that at some
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: point somebody mentions that they played in Milwaukee's you know,
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: I'll have to get to Brendan Burke, who is calling
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: some of these games. And Brendan's father, Don Uh's former
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: sports writer here in Milwaukee, and uh, back when Brendan
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: was just a little guy, you know, we all got
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: to know him. So we're really proud of what Brendan
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: has done. And hopefully uh he remembers his Milwaukee roots
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: along the time.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I remember him toddling around the newsroom. Now he's you know,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: that voice of the of hockey.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. Yeah, that's pretty well.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: But you're you're telling me that you really want to
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: see Ucy Sorrows give up like eight goals.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Come on, that name is.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Red, White, and Blue.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: I hope he's a bunch of top chatters. Greenie.
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: I hope that you score one more goal than the
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: other team. Does that playing that's all that matters.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: It's just the time in the locker room the guys
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: start talking trash. I mean, I would think so you
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: always had the Americans, the Canadians and the guys from
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Scandinavia and the Rush, and everyone's talking trash this time
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: of year.
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: One hundred percent. They're going to have a lot of
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: fun with us. And obviously the games will be played
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: during during the day, so you know, you get in
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: the room for the games or come out. You get
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: out of practice and go home and watch the games,
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: and guys will I'm sure have a spirited rivalry going
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: on with uh, you know, all these games coming up.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: It'll be like football guys talking about their favorite high
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: school their high school team, but it totally whooped your
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: high school teams can and one of the pills.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: One of the best.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Conversations been on college games. Oh yeah, and one of
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: the best conversations you ever hear. And my best team
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: would have whooped your team. Now, Greenie, we've been talking
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: about the best phrases in all of sports. As pitchers
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: and catchers report here today. Obviously you're baseball background would
• 28:01
