Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Streaming live. Well we will be momentarily. Oh whoops, swoops,
- 0:04Speaker 1: here we go, white knuckle ride. Bab we were.
- 0:07Speaker 2: We were streaming almost all through the commercial break. I
- 0:09Speaker 2: only opened the video three times until I realized that
- 0:12Speaker 2: we were down there.
- 0:12Speaker 3: So Facebook and YouTube streaming live for you. Drew Wilson,
- 0:17Speaker 3: Bill Smith Arman is out today. Billy is back behind
- 0:20Speaker 3: the board in his unnatural habitat. It is a strange
- 0:24Speaker 3: spot back here. The thing is Drew, And what I'm
- 0:26Speaker 3: realizing is it's like my basement.
- 0:28Speaker 2: The only bad thing is the mice. I'm used to
- 0:32Speaker 2: having a track pad. Right now, I'm as the youngest.
- 0:38Speaker 1: In your basement. Like for a minute, I thought you had.
- 0:40Speaker 1: The only bad thing is mice in your basement.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Sadly, at some point that that that always ends up
- 0:44Speaker 2: for late and always being found, and sadly the missus
- 0:46Speaker 2: is always the one that finds it.
- 0:47Speaker 1: I can't just stumble upon the dead one.
- 0:50Speaker 2: But there's one, two, three, four, five, six different little
- 0:55Speaker 2: mouse the mice that I use for the computer, there's
- 0:57Speaker 2: eight different screens. This is like a sports book back here,
- 1:02Speaker 2: and generally when I go to the book, I'm not
- 1:05Speaker 2: the one in control.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Of the remote.
- 1:06Speaker 2: So I'm getting better at it, just in time for
- 1:09Speaker 2: me to hopefully never have to do this again, because
- 1:13Speaker 2: that it'll be a lot more smooth.
- 1:14Speaker 3: I think that's a good goal in radio, not having
- 1:17Speaker 3: to work the board. Like I've worked in radio for
- 1:20Speaker 3: more than twenty years, I don't know how to work
- 1:21Speaker 3: the board. I can I can record maybe a little
- 1:24Speaker 3: commercial or a read or something, that's the extent of it.
- 1:27Speaker 3: I don't know how to put anything on the air,
- 1:29Speaker 3: or how to throw to sound or do any of
- 1:30Speaker 3: that stuff. And in radio, I just kind of like, well,
- 1:34Speaker 3: I kind of walked into that position for sure, kind
- 1:36Speaker 3: of came into the radio thing as a non radio guy,
- 1:39Speaker 3: and still consider myself kind of a non radio guy.
- 1:41Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
- 1:42Speaker 3: But that's the equivalent of Antonio Freeman telling me that
- 1:45Speaker 3: the happiest day of his career is when it was
- 1:46Speaker 3: told he no longer had to return punt.
- 1:49Speaker 1: The last thing I gotta do is do that.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Oh baby, thank god, I've reached the point where I'm
- 1:54Speaker 3: too valuable as a wide receiver.
- 1:56Speaker 1: I don't have to take back punts and kickoffs anymore.
- 1:58Speaker 1: I've been able to graduate.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's one of those things that you know
- 2:01Speaker 2: you're never too never too far away from your home.
- 2:04Speaker 2: But uh, listen, I yeah, it's not a good one
- 2:08Speaker 2: for the listener to have to have me, I think
- 2:10Speaker 2: in charge of the house kind of like you know,
- 2:12Speaker 2: for a long period of my time, if I was
- 2:14Speaker 2: in charge of the party, it wasn't gonna be as
- 2:16Speaker 2: good of a party as it could. Man, and no
- 2:18Speaker 2: party is like an armand Sorian party.
- 2:20Speaker 1: That's true. Armand parties Armen, Sorry, and party stops at ten,
- 2:23Speaker 1: that's right. I want to get anise.

- 4:04Speaker 3: we're so you know, and we're so even most transactions.
- 4:08Speaker 3: I talk about all the time. Part of the reason
- 4:10Speaker 3: that we're so self absorbed and people are so quick
- 4:14Speaker 3: to be triggered and stuff is we don't have daily interactions.
- 4:16Speaker 3: People don't spend time in line and talk to people
- 4:19Speaker 3: at the post office. You don't go to the bank
- 4:21Speaker 3: and talk to the tellers, and you just we don't
- 4:23Speaker 3: have the human contact anymore. When you even call customer service,

- 4:41Speaker 3: well just by going in for a little LOOKI lose
- 4:43Speaker 3: so game day mens health dot com the website.
- 4:45Speaker 2: You say that, and I found myself the other day
- 4:48Speaker 2: legit like steering anything away from going to the cashier
- 4:53Speaker 2: where you actually had somebody check you on.
- 4:55Speaker 1: I'll just do that.
- 4:56Speaker 2: I think I got fifteen items twenty eight in the cart. Yeah,
- 4:59Speaker 2: I think should fine. I'll do the self checkout. It
- 5:01Speaker 2: should be fine, You'll be okay.
- 5:03Speaker 3: And then like if you buy something really light and
- 5:06Speaker 3: it locks up on you because it doesn't think you
- 5:08Speaker 3: put anything onto the onto thet.
- 5:10Speaker 1: But something on the scale, bud, Come on, now, what
- 5:12Speaker 1: are you trying to say about.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny. My wife is pretty adamant. She will
- 5:16Speaker 3: never go to a self checkout. She always wants to
- 5:18Speaker 3: help the people who are employed and keep them employed
- 5:20Speaker 3: and make them It's like, be nice if they had
- 5:22Speaker 3: more checkers.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Right, sure would be.
- 5:24Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's not cost effective in this private equity
- 5:27Speaker 3: world in which we live, where everybody's looking for efficiencies.
- 5:30Speaker 3: God knows we live that in doubt about it, but
- 5:33Speaker 3: it's uh. She will always she's adamant about that. I'm
- 5:36Speaker 3: not just like, I'm not employed by the store.
- 5:39Speaker 1: I also like the Uh.
- 5:41Speaker 2: I go into the one where I can be into
- 5:43Speaker 2: where I can also bag. So if there is a
- 5:46Speaker 2: person checking it out, then we become a team. Yeah, right,
- 5:48Speaker 2: that he's helping you out. I'm helping you out. Yeah,
- 5:51Speaker 2: we're in this now, together for the next thirty five seconds.
- 5:54Speaker 2: While that CONVEI that I.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Will do in the interest of efficiency as long as
- 5:56Speaker 3: there's someone scanning and stuff, because I have trouble finding
- 5:59Speaker 3: the UPC code, and if it's oh fast, forbid, if
- 6:02Speaker 3: I'm buying like, you know, three tomatoes and they gotta
- 6:04Speaker 3: be weighed and whatever, it's like, I'm.
- 6:07Speaker 1: The worst is when you are checking out with beer. Yeah,
- 6:11Speaker 1: because then.
- 6:13Speaker 2: There's some more difficult process. Just go over there, scan
- 6:16Speaker 2: the idea and be a lot.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Easier to deal. Keep it moving, no question, no question.
- 6:20Speaker 3: And I wonder all in this ruthless efficiency era and
- 6:24Speaker 3: private equity and we got to cut costs and maximize
- 6:26Speaker 3: profits for the shareholders, right. I wonder if if if
- 6:32Speaker 3: they net it out, they must have because they still have.
- 6:35Speaker 3: You go to a store like at peak times even
- 6:37Speaker 3: there's like two checkout lanes open, six empty, and then
- 6:40Speaker 3: the there's a line for the self checkout. The leakage
- 6:44Speaker 3: and people who either consciously shoplift or just don't know how,
- 6:48Speaker 3: or something doesn't scan and like they walk out with
- 6:50Speaker 3: stuff without paying.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Is that equal?
- 6:53Speaker 3: It has to be less than paying somebody ten bucks
- 6:55Speaker 3: an hour to stand at the register, right, So it's
- 6:58Speaker 3: like you're losing product and you're loose using it on
- 7:00Speaker 3: the margin, And with razor thin margins in every business,
- 7:03Speaker 3: how do.
- 7:04Speaker 1: They allow for that? How do they do that calculus? Well?
- 7:06Speaker 2: And also, I mean you're banking on the good of
- 7:09Speaker 2: human beings, which I mean, I think we're a nice,
- 7:12Speaker 2: nice creature.
- 7:13Speaker 1: I don't know that we're the nicest.
- 7:15Speaker 2: I don't know that banking on people doing the right
- 7:17Speaker 2: thing is always the easiest thing.
- 7:19Speaker 1: To be able to do.
- 7:20Speaker 2: The one that always blows my mind, Drew, is when
- 7:22Speaker 2: what you just explained, right four o'clock, middle of the week,
- 7:27Speaker 2: a lot of families going and grocery shopping after you
- 7:29Speaker 2: pick the kids up from school.
- 7:30Speaker 1: We got to get some for dinner.
- 7:31Speaker 2: How on earth do we just spend one hundred and
- 7:33Speaker 2: thirty dollars here at the grocery store three days ago
- 7:35Speaker 2: and still don't know what we're gonna have for dinner tonight?
- 7:37Speaker 1: All right, so put the kids into the cart, roll through.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Then you got two places where you can actually have
- 7:42Speaker 2: somebody check the groceries out. The one set of service
- 7:47Speaker 2: kiosks and then the other bank of self service kiosks
- 7:50Speaker 2: that you've built. You have ready, but you have closed,
- 7:54Speaker 2: and we have a line all the way through the
- 7:55Speaker 2: candy isle on the back here. Let's figure out a
- 7:58Speaker 2: way to make this a little bit smoother.
- 8:00Speaker 1: What are we doing? What are we doing? All right?
- 8:02Speaker 3: So the big story locally is, well, the Brewers won
- 8:05Speaker 3: a game, and there's flooding everywhere, especially in the Milwaukee area.
- 8:08Speaker 3: We've just been getting hammered saw like walkeshaw in the
- 8:10Speaker 3: last three days. Have like six point eight inches of
- 8:13Speaker 3: rain or seven inches of rain in the last couple
- 8:15Speaker 3: of days plus side.
- 8:16Speaker 1: I just walked outside finally stopped raining. Yep, it was night.
- 8:20Speaker 2: It was nice to finally be able to walk outside
- 8:22Speaker 2: and not have some rain. We're getting a break. Hopefully
- 8:24Speaker 2: floodwaters will recede. It's just horrific videos all around. And
- 8:28Speaker 2: this car stranded at Brewers Boulevard again. That's going to
- 8:31Speaker 2: create some issues today. But Brewh's gonna play Blue Jays.
- 8:34Speaker 2: They won last night. Our Hunter Bombguard, who's going to
- 8:36Speaker 2: join us in the next hour program. We just heard
- 8:38Speaker 2: his recap of last evening's game, and Hunter, being the
- 8:41Speaker 2: diligent soul that he is, knowing that Arman wasn't going
- 8:44Speaker 2: to be gone.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Today m.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Gave us a little interview with Brewer's reliever Grand Anderson,
- 8:52Speaker 3: and let's take a spin through that. Take it away, Hunter.
- 8:55Speaker 5: Grant, thanks so much for joining me.
- 8:57Speaker 1: First.
- 8:57Speaker 5: You know, obviously for a lot of you've gotten the
- 9:00Speaker 5: results you probably have wanted.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Right.
- 9:03Speaker 5: What has been leading to some of the success out
- 9:06Speaker 5: there on the field so far this season?
- 9:07Speaker 6: I think execution.
- 9:09Speaker 4: You know, stuff's gonna be the same stuff most nights,
- 9:12Speaker 4: you know, but when you can command the strike zone
- 9:16Speaker 4: and through your fastball for strikes and loafstpeed for strikes,
- 9:20Speaker 4: it goes a long way.
- 9:21Speaker 5: How much does your confidence build up?
- 9:22Speaker 1: Right outing?
- 9:23Speaker 5: After outing you're seeing results coming in in different scenarios
- 9:26Speaker 5: whenever you're called upon, I'm sure that probably builds confidence
- 9:29Speaker 5: as you go.
- 9:31Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, getting the zero always builds
- 9:34Speaker 4: the confidence. So you know, to me, situations not really
- 9:38Speaker 4: a y pitch when Pat tells me to pitch, you know,
- 9:41Speaker 4: basically so, but yeah, anytime you get thro up a zero,
- 9:45Speaker 4: it builds confidence for sure.
- 9:46Speaker 5: Obviously you're paying attention to the situation you're coming in,
- 9:49Speaker 5: But overall, how does that this is your mentality just
- 9:52Speaker 5: trying to keep it the same, whatever situation you're coming into,
- 9:54Speaker 5: just your job, get outs when you're called upon.
- 9:56Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, whatever the situation. Obviously you know we're
- 10:00Speaker 4: paying attention down there in the bullpen, and h Greeney
- 10:02Speaker 4: bullpen coach is always you know, when you're warming up,
- 10:05Speaker 4: he keeps you updated on you know, what the count is,
- 10:07Speaker 4: who's up there, who's on deck, who you're in a
- 10:09Speaker 4: face you know, uh, you know where you can go
- 10:12Speaker 4: with what pitches and whatnot, and uh that obviously helps
- 10:15Speaker 4: a ton. And then other than that, you know, go
- 10:18Speaker 4: out there and kind of hold the line to for
- 10:20Speaker 4: the next guy when.
- 10:21Speaker 5: You take us a little bit behind it the scenes
- 10:24Speaker 5: in that So you're warming up obviously to come in
- 10:26Speaker 5: the game, and he's relaying that information kind of consistently. Okay,
- 10:30Speaker 5: this is where you know you might come in. This
- 10:31Speaker 5: is you know those kinds of things.
- 10:33Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean basically you're you're warming up and
- 10:36Speaker 4: he's kinda you're already kind of have an idea.
- 10:37Speaker 6: When they call down, they kind of let you know, like, hey.
- 10:39Speaker 4: Possibly this guy or this guy, and uh, you know,
- 10:43Speaker 4: he kind of gives you a brief summary of like
- 10:45Speaker 4: you know where your stuff will play.
- 10:47Speaker 6: To that guy and.
- 10:49Speaker 4: Also with the possible like, you know, there's three riders
- 10:53Speaker 4: in a row, Chances are one of them is gonna
- 10:55Speaker 4: get pinched up for for a lefty, and so he
- 10:56Speaker 4: kind of tells you who the who his best guess
- 11:00Speaker 4: of you know what left he's gonna come in to
- 11:02Speaker 4: face you and where were the same deal where you
- 11:03Speaker 4: can kind of go with what pitches and you know,
- 11:05Speaker 4: the best chance.
- 11:06Speaker 6: To get him out.
- 11:07Speaker 5: How about the situation of the extra inning that you
- 11:09Speaker 5: come into last night, right, you got to run around
- 11:11Speaker 5: second already? How does that change your mindset? Like, what's
- 11:14Speaker 5: your kind of strategy obviously getting ounces the goal? But
- 11:18Speaker 5: what's your strategy there? As you that that has come
- 11:20Speaker 5: more and become a part of baseball here in the
- 11:23Speaker 5: last few years.
- 11:25Speaker 6: For me, I mean, the strategy doesn't really change as much.
- 11:27Speaker 4: You know, you still want to get ahead obviously, but
- 11:29Speaker 4: I think if you can get the first guy out,
- 11:31Speaker 4: it's a huge you know, obviously last night then working
- 11:33Speaker 4: my favor through two balls down the middle. So but uh,
- 11:37Speaker 4: I feel like if you get that first guy out,
- 11:39Speaker 4: you can't give yourself some wiggle room, you know, because
- 11:41Speaker 4: then you get one out. You know, if let's say
- 11:45Speaker 4: they want to walk a guy or you want to
- 11:46Speaker 4: kind of pitch around a guy, still have a double
- 11:49Speaker 4: play in order get you out of the ending with that.
- 11:51Speaker 4: So to me, you know, strike one and then out
- 11:53Speaker 4: number one are probably the two most important parts.
- 11:56Speaker 6: Of that absolutely.
- 11:57Speaker 5: So coming off and outing like last night, you learned
- 12:00Speaker 5: over the years to just kind of shake it off
- 12:02Speaker 5: and come out the next time.
- 12:04Speaker 6: Part of the job. Man.
- 12:05Speaker 4: Some days they're going to be great and some days
- 12:07Speaker 4: are gonna be not so great, and you just gotta
- 12:10Speaker 4: kind of roll with it.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Man.
- 12:11Speaker 6: You don't never get too high. I don't ever get
- 12:12Speaker 6: too low.
- 12:14Speaker 4: Obviously played with some veteran guys in the pass and
- 12:16Speaker 4: here that kind of when you're a younger guy, they
- 12:19Speaker 4: kind of help you out, you know, with the tend
- 12:21Speaker 4: to hang on and stuff. When you first get up here.
- 12:24Speaker 4: You know you can kind of see some young guys
- 12:26Speaker 4: across the league. You can't tell they're still like trying
- 12:29Speaker 4: to force this out into be good because last outing
- 12:31Speaker 4: was bad, which I myself did, And it's just something
- 12:34Speaker 4: you gotta kind of.
- 12:36Speaker 6: Kind of learn as you play a little more, get
- 12:38Speaker 6: more innings.
- 12:39Speaker 4: Under your belt that you know you can't you can't
- 12:41Speaker 4: do that, otherwise it's going to be just as bad
- 12:42Speaker 4: as they before.
- 12:43Speaker 6: So let it go.
- 12:44Speaker 4: And each day's a new day, Each inning is a
- 12:47Speaker 4: new inning, and I could face the same three guys
- 12:49Speaker 4: to night and have completely different outcomes.
- 12:51Speaker 6: So it's just part of it.
- 12:53Speaker 5: Was there a point where that kind of clicked for
- 12:54Speaker 5: you or was it just kind of overtime it just
- 12:56Speaker 5: kind of like, Okay, you know, I kind of understand
- 12:58Speaker 5: and see what others are doing and see how you
- 13:02Speaker 5: just felt more confident coming out the next time.
- 13:04Speaker 4: I think confidence plays a big part in it, but
- 13:06Speaker 4: more so, uh, getting more outings under your belt kind of,
- 13:11Speaker 4: I guess you kind of learn from that. You know, experience,
- 13:13Speaker 4: you know, it's one of the things you hear about
- 13:15Speaker 4: a lot. You know, teams want guys with experience, but
- 13:17Speaker 4: how do you get experience? And is just more easy pitch.
- 13:20Speaker 4: The more you're gonna you're gonna get it, the more
- 13:21Speaker 4: you're gonna learn. So obviously, you know, uh, you know,
- 13:25Speaker 4: my rookie year has like Will Smith and then had
- 13:28Speaker 4: David Robertson and Kirbyates the next two years, so that's
- 13:32Speaker 4: three guys.
- 13:33Speaker 6: Uh, it was great.
- 13:34Speaker 4: To learn from and and Uh Rodgers Chapman was another
- 13:37Speaker 4: one that was like, you know, guys failed, Guys fail
- 13:40Speaker 4: on the biggest level. You know, all all four of
- 13:42Speaker 4: those guys have been in the World Series and have
- 13:45Speaker 4: done great and done bad, and so you know, you
- 13:47Speaker 4: learn from those guys, and uh, you kind of hang
- 13:50Speaker 4: on to what they say and then you obviously when
- 13:52Speaker 4: it happens to you, you kind of say, oh, yeah,
- 13:54Speaker 4: now know what they mean.
- 13:54Speaker 6: You know. So it's just something that kind of happens
- 13:56Speaker 6: over over experience, you.
- 13:58Speaker 5: Know totally, and especially in the bullpen, you spend so
- 14:00Speaker 5: much time there getting ready, preparing for situations. I can
- 14:03Speaker 5: imagine you kind of can soak up a lot of
- 14:05Speaker 5: information out there when you're in there.
- 14:06Speaker 4: I mean you, if you ever play on teams with
- 14:09Speaker 4: guys that have played as long as those four guys played, uh,
- 14:12Speaker 4: you know, you be kind of doing yourself a disservice
- 14:14Speaker 4: not to learn something from it. So I try to
- 14:17Speaker 4: learn from everybody I've played with, whether it be you know,
- 14:19Speaker 4: Max's on the Blue Jays now or you know, Big
- 14:23Speaker 4: Wu here and guys like that. So, uh, Katana last
- 14:26Speaker 4: year was another one. You know, guys played wasn't on
- 14:29Speaker 4: your seventeen this year. So, like, you know, if you
- 14:32Speaker 4: don't learn something from those guys, you kind of, you know,
- 14:34Speaker 4: not doing yourself any favors.
- 14:36Speaker 5: I think people think sometimes maybe that relievers learn from
- 14:38Speaker 5: relievers or really but you know, you named a couple obviously,
- 14:41Speaker 5: you know, starters there. You can learn from any picture.
- 14:43Speaker 5: I can imagine who's done it for a long time.
- 14:45Speaker 6: Correct, I mean yeah, I mean, you know.
- 14:47Speaker 4: The thing about the guys like that too, is like
- 14:49Speaker 4: at some point in their career they probably pitched out
- 14:51Speaker 4: a bullpen and where that was in the playoffs, you know,
- 14:54Speaker 4: like a big woop pitched out the playoffs a bullpen.
- 14:57Speaker 4: I think I'll short rest here a few times, you know,
- 14:59Speaker 4: so you know, just just stole on the mound. They're
- 15:02Speaker 4: still facing guys in tough situations. Whether they started the
- 15:04Speaker 4: game or came in the middle of it doesn't really
- 15:06Speaker 4: that really doesn't matter as much. But it's just getting
- 15:10Speaker 4: the knowledge from those guys. It's important.
- 15:12Speaker 6: Absolutely.
- 15:13Speaker 5: Grant really appreciate the time.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Thanks so much.
- 15:16Speaker 3: Hunter bombgrat with a nice interview with Brews reliever Grant Anderson,
- 15:20Speaker 3: and is brought to us by import Minded drove by
- 15:22Speaker 3: them the other day on SEW twenty seventh Street the
- 15:24Speaker 3: car dealerships there. It is a trusted choice for exceptional
- 15:27Speaker 3: vehicle care in Wisconsin. Check out import Minded. It's goimportminded
- 15:33Speaker 3: dot com.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Now that's the most extended I've heard from Grant Anderson.
- 15:37Speaker 2: Appreciate Hunter being able to spotlight him. That was cool
- 15:40Speaker 2: to be able to hear some of the influences that
- 15:43Speaker 2: he's been able to find. Drew being able to talk
- 15:45Speaker 2: to so many players and write stories about it was
- 15:49Speaker 2: that something you would a lot of times like to
- 15:51Speaker 2: focus on with guys who are starting to roll find
- 15:53Speaker 2: themselves in new roles. Because he's now leveraged Grant Anderson
- 15:57Speaker 2: for the majority of his career that we've known him,
- 16:00Speaker 2: that he's been our friend, it's been games out of
- 16:03Speaker 2: hand or we've got this thing in the bag, then
- 16:06Speaker 2: you see Grant Anderson instead. He's been one of the
- 16:08Speaker 2: guys keeping him in a lot of these games. And
- 16:10Speaker 2: that's one of the things.
- 16:11Speaker 3: And Hunter's got good instincts like as a covering the
- 16:14Speaker 3: Brewers like he does, and to go and get that interview.
- 16:17Speaker 3: And because Grant Everson's gonna be playing big roles One
- 16:20Speaker 3: of the things as a Beak guy you learn early
- 16:22Speaker 3: is that you don't just talk to the same three
- 16:24Speaker 3: stars every night, right. You have to even if it's
- 16:27Speaker 3: just small talk, like the twenty four to twenty fifth
- 16:29Speaker 3: man on the roster, I always make it a point
- 16:31Speaker 3: to drop by their locker, check in, shut them up,
- 16:33Speaker 3: even if it was just about dinner or the weather
- 16:36Speaker 3: or whatever, because at some point they're gonna get in
- 16:39Speaker 3: the game in the late innings.
- 16:41Speaker 1: They're gonna either kick a ball or get a.
- 16:42Speaker 3: Hit to win a game, and you don't want that
- 16:44Speaker 3: to be the only time you go talk to him
- 16:45Speaker 3: is when you need them, right, and so you you
- 16:48Speaker 3: got to develop that rapport, and you gotta and when
- 16:50Speaker 3: guys come up, you gotta go see him right away.
- 16:52Speaker 3: And guys gotta go to Chad Patrick. Perfect example, he
- 16:55Speaker 3: rode the shuttle last year between Nashville and Milwaukee. Would
- 16:58Speaker 3: he have like four or five six call up?
- 17:01Speaker 1: Ran all of those options.
- 17:02Speaker 3: So every time you check in, hey, what was it
- 17:04Speaker 3: like down there? Who's playing good? You just touch base.
- 17:07Speaker 3: And that's that's one of the things that good beat
- 17:10Speaker 3: guys do, I think, and Hunter has that sense of
- 17:13Speaker 3: go talk to those guys, it's like my thing. When
- 17:15Speaker 3: the picture pitches a gem and everybody's stuffed around his
- 17:18Speaker 3: locker and you're craning your neck to get in by
- 17:20Speaker 3: the TV cameras. Go find the catcher who's by himself,
- 17:23Speaker 3: who worked him through that game and talked to the catcher,
- 17:25Speaker 3: and then come back to the picture at the end,
- 17:28Speaker 3: and use what the catcher told you, like about a
- 17:30Speaker 3: certain sequence in the third inning that bailed him out.
- 17:33Speaker 3: And then you asked the picture about that that no
- 17:35Speaker 3: one had asked him before. And that's the way you
- 17:38Speaker 3: do it right. And Hunter has good instincts when it
- 17:40Speaker 3: comes to.
- 17:40Speaker 1: That, Yeah, and Drew.
- 17:41Speaker 2: And then you can ask a different question than the
- 17:43Speaker 2: exact same question that people have asked four different times.
- 17:46Speaker 2: To make sure that you have the video of you
- 17:48Speaker 2: ask exact questions.
- 17:49Speaker 3: My news director wants for me to ask it, even
- 17:51Speaker 3: though it was just asked. I need to ask it
- 17:53Speaker 3: so that we can show.
- 17:53Speaker 2: Me asking nothing more cringey than that.
- 17:56Speaker 1: But sausage is made, and that's how it is.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Yeah, But like to hear it to you're a guy
- 18:01Speaker 2: in Grant Anderson who's learning and adjusting to a new role.
- 18:04Speaker 2: That that's really really cool to hear. And there's certain
- 18:07Speaker 2: positions that generally are better conversationalists, right, Offensive linemen always
- 18:13Speaker 2: going to be entertaining, of course sightful to be able
- 18:16Speaker 2: to talk to. I would think big men in basketball
- 18:19Speaker 2: they see a lot of the game. They're very dependent
- 18:21Speaker 2: on everybody else, relievers, and they got a beautiful vantage
- 18:24Speaker 2: point in the game, just like you out in the bleachers.
- 18:27Speaker 2: But they got to be as into the game, especially
- 18:29Speaker 2: for him, who's kind of a fire man because.
- 18:31Speaker 1: He can go in anytime. Yeah, they're dialed in. Maybe
- 18:34Speaker 1: a year before.
- 18:35Speaker 7: I think the first time I met you, you were
- 18:37Speaker 7: behind the board when we were doing a show. I
- 18:38Speaker 7: was jumping in for somebody, filling in for somebody, and
- 18:41Speaker 7: I think you were running the board then.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've I've definitely frequented the board, not this
- 18:46Speaker 2: one and this thing.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Man, it feels like a space ship. There's like it's.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Cool when there's three monitors and you're feeling kind of
- 18:54Speaker 2: in command central.
- 18:55Speaker 6: Now.
- 18:56Speaker 2: I told Drew there's like five mice back here. I
- 18:59Speaker 2: don't know which one. They're no track pad. It just
- 19:01Speaker 2: it's a strange spot.
- 19:03Speaker 7: You know, And I don't want to get two behind
- 19:04Speaker 7: the curtain and radio here. But I remember when I
- 19:06Speaker 7: first got in the business, I prided myself on being
- 19:09Speaker 7: a badass board runner.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Oh I was tight, it was a tight board. I
- 19:13Speaker 1: was efficient.
- 19:14Speaker 7: And then for years, like nineteen years, I was on
- 19:17Speaker 7: a three and sometimes four person morning show where I
- 19:20Speaker 7: never even looked at that exactly. So then downsizing and
- 19:24Speaker 7: all of a sudden, there's two of us people go
- 19:26Speaker 7: on vacation, like, oh I got to learn this again,
- 19:28Speaker 7: and it was like the worst. You know those dreams
- 19:31Speaker 7: where you're naked, Yes, yeah, that's what running the control
- 19:33Speaker 7: board and radio was for me.
- 19:34Speaker 1: For several times after that.
- 19:36Speaker 3: Where you're naked wandering around the hallways looking for the
- 19:38Speaker 3: room where the exam is being held.
- 19:41Speaker 1: That you didn't study for. Yeah, that's the one.
- 19:44Speaker 2: Or you're trying to get into the game and that
- 19:46Speaker 2: you're covering and you just can't find the gate, or
- 19:49Speaker 2: you know, you're trying to find the open to the
- 19:51Speaker 2: show that you're starting. That dream became luckily reality right
- 19:54Speaker 2: out of the gates here today.
- 19:55Speaker 1: So it's good to go jump into the deep end, Dolf.
- 19:59Speaker 2: And then realize, brother, you can't swim, so why don't
- 20:01Speaker 2: you grab a raft, sit here like everybody else and
- 20:05Speaker 2: just enjoy the ride and hopefully don't spill this kitty
- 20:07Speaker 2: cocktail into the pool.
- 20:08Speaker 1: It sounds great so far.
- 20:09Speaker 3: I was telling Billy, I'm a trugled diet I know
- 20:12Speaker 3: nothing about how that stuff works, and I like it
- 20:14Speaker 3: that way.
- 20:14Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, they'll never ask me to do it.
- 20:16Speaker 7: It's like anything. And now in this building, and again
- 20:19Speaker 7: I'm going inside here. Now in this building, we're going
- 20:21Speaker 7: from one system to another, as you guys are finding out,
- 20:24Speaker 7: you have both systems, right.
- 20:26Speaker 1: That's what I'm learning here, and we're still on the
- 20:28Speaker 1: old one.
- 20:28Speaker 7: But I'm kind of dreaded going to the new one
- 20:30Speaker 7: because of that, because it's just it's something I have
- 20:32Speaker 7: to learn new as an older guy, you know, old
- 20:35Speaker 7: dog new tricks.
- 20:36Speaker 1: That's that's rough. That's rough.
- 20:38Speaker 3: It is so uh, Dolph, how are things at home?
- 20:40Speaker 3: How was your commute in? We're watching this unbelievable video
- 20:44Speaker 3: footage of the flooding in the area.
- 20:45Speaker 7: Yeah, nuts, I mean I was happy the Brewers snapped
- 20:47Speaker 7: their losing street that was like the fifth or sixth
- 20:49Speaker 7: story last night, right, Just watching this flooding, it reminded
- 20:52Speaker 7: me of last August State Fair Park. You know when
- 20:54Speaker 7: everybody lost their cars out in the on the track.
- 20:57Speaker 1: It's nuts.
- 20:58Speaker 7: I went down this morning and my basement and I
- 21:00Speaker 7: padded my some pump on the head, good boy, because
- 21:04Speaker 7: I kept.
- 21:04Speaker 1: The water out for at least one more night.
- 21:07Speaker 4: Uh.
- 21:08Speaker 7: Then again driving to work this morning at lightning and
- 21:11Speaker 7: thunder and hydro planing.
- 21:13Speaker 1: It's just the stuff hasn't ended. No, it's finally clearing up.
- 21:16Speaker 3: I'm watching the yellow and green blob just moved out
- 21:20Speaker 3: over the lake, thank god.
- 21:21Speaker 1: So we're gonna get a few hours of relief.
- 21:22Speaker 3: And then to talk about tomorrow night firing up more
- 21:24Speaker 3: storms like uncle already torrential. It just doesn't even begin
- 21:28Speaker 3: to describe it what people have to putting up with.
- 21:30Speaker 3: And I don't know when I'm gonna be able to cut
- 21:31Speaker 3: my grass. It's already to the point where it needs cut.
- 21:34Speaker 3: So I'm I don't even have to double and double
- 21:36Speaker 3: that up and you have to raise the blade. That's
- 21:38Speaker 3: just nice, yeah, which I hate doing. I hate cutting
- 21:41Speaker 3: the grass more than anything else that might really. I
- 21:43Speaker 3: always found it zen like I was enjoyed it. Well,
- 21:45Speaker 3: i'll give you my address too if you want to
- 21:47Speaker 3: over Just full times sake, and I have to worry
- 21:50Speaker 3: about that stuff ever. And I have to say it
- 21:52Speaker 3: is nice to to sleep, the peaceful sleep of a
- 21:55Speaker 3: man who isn't listening to see if the sun pump
- 21:57Speaker 3: is on. Yes, the some pump dance is. I've I
- 22:00Speaker 3: lived in a flood zone. I lived at the bottom
- 22:02Speaker 3: of like three hills, and it was a nightmare.
- 22:04Speaker 7: It is you're always you're constantly worrying about it, always vigilant. Yeah,
- 22:08Speaker 7: my soil is that clay stuff, so it doesn't drain well.
- 22:11Speaker 7: And so I've got the same problem. Our first house
- 22:13Speaker 7: in Milwaukee, it was an old house. It was built,
- 22:15Speaker 7: I think in the nineteen around nineteen forty stone was
- 22:18Speaker 7: that landing Stone house. It had the French drain, it
- 22:21Speaker 7: didn't have the sump pump style. So I don't ever
- 22:24Speaker 7: remember the eight years I was there. I don't ever
- 22:25Speaker 7: remember my basement having to drop a water in it.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all.
- 22:30Speaker 3: That's something when you're looking at a house that I
- 22:31Speaker 3: would tell myself the house that I bought, I'm like,
- 22:33Speaker 3: I wouldn't buy that house again.
- 22:34Speaker 1: I buy a house at the top of the hill.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Good idea, A good one to start learning through experience
- 22:39Speaker 2: and well, and when we bought our place, it was
- 22:42Speaker 2: an expedited We kind of had a baby on the way,
- 22:44Speaker 2: so we were like, whatever, whatever we can get, let's
- 22:46Speaker 2: figure it out. Then that's when we figured out into
- 22:49Speaker 2: the spring that we were actually in some kind of floodplain. Yeah, like, hey,
- 22:52Speaker 2: by the way, you're gonna have to give us a
- 22:53Speaker 2: different amount of money for that flood insurance.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Not a bad thing though to have
- 22:58Speaker 1: over the last two years.
- 22:59Speaker 2: Right, we were forced into almost buying the flood insurance
- 23:03Speaker 2: for our home as to where our spot is on
- 23:05Speaker 2: the plane and you know, again, knock on wood, We've
- 23:08Speaker 2: been quite lucky into it over the last couple but
- 23:11Speaker 2: it was one of those deals where you don't necessarily
- 23:14Speaker 2: know the benefit of it until bites in the hinder
- 23:17Speaker 2: and you need it as bad as anything.
- 23:19Speaker 7: Who would know that tiny little creek a couple of
- 23:21Speaker 7: blocks from your house bring all kinds of rushing torrents befloor.
- 23:26Speaker 2: I thought it was just gonna have the little froggy
- 23:27Speaker 2: friends statue that my kid likes to go and watch back. Instead,
- 23:30Speaker 2: it's flooding our neighbor's basement to a different degree.
- 23:33Speaker 1: That's nuts.
- 23:34Speaker 3: This is going to make a spring sports in the
- 23:36Speaker 3: launch of softball season kind of tough.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it.
- 23:39Speaker 3: If any leagues started, I don't even know if they,
- 23:41Speaker 3: like they did they wait till May?
- 23:42Speaker 1: Oh no, no, it's April.
- 23:44Speaker 7: Well I stopped playing at twenty nineteen and they were
- 23:46Speaker 7: playing in the middle of April. I'm assuming they probably
- 23:48Speaker 7: have a week or two in But you're right. I
- 23:50Speaker 7: know this golf courses. I always check county course conditions
- 23:53Speaker 7: because we playing Thursday and that's not playing to night obviously,
- 23:55Speaker 7: But yesterday every course was like no. And he'll further
- 24:00Speaker 7: notice it wasn't even like Walkers only it's like no,
- 24:03Speaker 7: forget nobody's nobody's Goody's golfing right.
- 24:05Speaker 3: Well, now, will this help the courses in June? Like
- 24:08Speaker 3: we'll green up quicker and will help them in May
- 24:10Speaker 3: and June? Maybe I would think so. Yeah, I would think.
- 24:12Speaker 1: So the way now.
- 24:13Speaker 3: But they're losing rounds now, but not heavy because people
- 24:15Speaker 3: really aren't in golf mode here yet.
- 24:17Speaker 1: True. That's true.
- 24:18Speaker 2: And although the Masters does spark it in people, I
- 24:20Speaker 2: was just gonna say the Masters that that's like when
- 24:23Speaker 2: you're watching the NBA playoffs.
- 24:24Speaker 1: It say, Dad, come on, let's grab the basketball. Let's
- 24:26Speaker 1: go shoot in the front yard. Dolph will appreciate this
- 24:28Speaker 1: as a fellow old guy.
- 24:30Speaker 3: Like when back in the day when Wimbledon was a
- 24:32Speaker 3: thing and people followed tennis, and it was Connors and
- 24:34Speaker 3: McEnroe and Borg.
- 24:36Speaker 1: And you know those guys.
- 24:38Speaker 3: During Wimbledon, people would watch that and it was on
- 24:40Speaker 3: early because of the time, and then you'd see the
- 24:42Speaker 3: tennis courts packed and there be lines people waiting. And
- 24:45Speaker 3: then now it's like they've converted them all to pickleball
- 24:48Speaker 3: bards and they're all cracked and weeded, and they get
- 24:50Speaker 3: sad and used.
- 24:51Speaker 7: Yea, my wife and I decided to take up tennis
- 24:53Speaker 7: maybe five six years ago, and so we bought the rackets,
- 24:55Speaker 7: a couple of tins full of balls. And you're right
- 24:58Speaker 7: trying to find a court that the the net isn't
- 25:00Speaker 7: destroyed or there's you know, seagull crap all over, they're
- 25:03Speaker 7: not cracked with weeds.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Growing up, it's hard to do in this town.
- 25:06Speaker 3: When I lived in Elmgrove, the village park there, that
- 25:08Speaker 3: was one place that people played tennis, because tennis is
- 25:10Speaker 3: big in.
- 25:11Speaker 1: Brookfield, go figure.
- 25:12Speaker 3: Oh yeah right, and people for the and those are
- 25:14Speaker 3: for the people who, you know, weren't the bougie people
- 25:16Speaker 3: that owned that belong to tennis clubs. They want to
- 25:19Speaker 3: go into a couple of tennis clubs around, Yeah, they
- 25:21Speaker 3: weren't going to a lead or Western racket club or anything.
- 25:23Speaker 7: It is kind of ironic that tennis and when you
- 25:25Speaker 7: see Wimbledon and you know, and and everybody dressing up
- 25:28Speaker 7: like it's the Kentucky Derby.
- 25:30Speaker 1: It's it's a cheap sport.
- 25:31Speaker 7: You can if you can find an open court, you know,
- 25:34Speaker 7: it's it's fairly cheap to get a racket in a
- 25:35Speaker 7: couple of balls. I can't believe how sore I was
- 25:39Speaker 7: after we started and went at it hard for the
- 25:40Speaker 7: first couple times.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Well you should have done just gone right to pickleball.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Well I get sore doing that too, though that's the true.
- 25:45Speaker 3: I played for the first time a couple of weeks ago,
- 25:48Speaker 3: and it's like, I see why people like this.
- 25:50Speaker 1: It's fun.
- 25:51Speaker 3: I don't think I'm gonna get like hard into it though. No,
- 25:53Speaker 3: it's it's fun.
- 25:54Speaker 7: It's it's kind of a bad Mittnish type game where
- 25:57Speaker 7: you can get to most of the balls. So that's
- 25:59Speaker 7: what I think, it's what what is appealing. But you
- 26:01Speaker 7: can get hurt. There's a lot of older people that
- 26:04Speaker 7: are that are having orthopedic injuries because you know, pickleball,
- 26:08Speaker 7: you're still going starting and stopping and starting stop, and
- 26:10Speaker 7: a lot of a lot of it's on concrete, folks.
- 26:12Speaker 1: That's how they got that ortho. A S A P.
- 26:15Speaker 2: Walk right in, that's right, walk right in. Somebody wheel
- 26:18Speaker 2: you in if that's.
- 26:20Speaker 3: I'm sure the doctors and nurses and folks that or
- 26:23Speaker 3: the Betic Associates of Wisconsin are not boomed with the
- 26:26Speaker 3: pickleball boom because it's a steady stream of business what
- 26:28Speaker 3: with uh, you know, knees blown out and ruptured achilles
- 26:31Speaker 3: and stuff like that.
- 26:32Speaker 7: It's amazing how many of those courts you see on
- 26:34Speaker 7: every park you passed by and every side street in Wisconsin.
- 26:36Speaker 2: Well, and the funny thing is the pickleball for for me,
- 26:39Speaker 2: was a gym unit when I was growing up. So
- 26:43Speaker 2: like when it first started flaring up into the public eye,
- 26:46Speaker 2: I'm like, we've been playing pickleball.
- 26:48Speaker 1: At Saint Mary's Parish for a while, that's all right.
- 26:51Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what we're talking about here. Was
- 26:53Speaker 1: it called paddle tennis or pickleball?
- 26:54Speaker 2: It was called pickleball, And I was like, I don't
- 26:56Speaker 2: know who on Earth invented this Seattle.
- 27:00Speaker 7: I know it started in the Pacific Northwest, like in
- 27:01Speaker 7: the sixties, and so it was always big out there,
- 27:04Speaker 7: but it only hit here, what ten twenty years ago?
- 27:06Speaker 1: Yeah, ten twenty years ago.
- 27:07Speaker 2: And again like it was, no one else was playing,
- 27:10Speaker 2: and nobody was playing in any kind of league or
- 27:13Speaker 2: at even a retirement community at that point. And then
- 27:16Speaker 2: ten years ago it really started flaring up playing. Yeah, well, dang,
- 27:19Speaker 2: if I was as good, if I'm as good now
- 27:21Speaker 2: as I was in third grade playing against all the
- 27:24Speaker 2: other third graders in Pe, then maybe I should be
- 27:26Speaker 2: taking this up. Because I was a dominant force in
- 27:28Speaker 2: that kitchen. I'm sure you still are in the in
- 27:31Speaker 2: the kitchen death. But also being larger than everybody else,
- 27:34Speaker 2: I think gave me a distinct advantage up at the net.
- 27:37Speaker 1: I know, I remember thinking, oh, wow, it's a big time.
- 27:39Speaker 1: When was it.
- 27:40Speaker 7: Monominee Falls started a mega complex and then Third Street
- 27:43Speaker 7: Market Hall in downtown Milwaukee actually has indoor Yeah, pickleball.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Part of that apartment complex there and stuff, and they're
- 27:49Speaker 2: always buzzing and like that pickleball court, the outdoor one
- 27:53Speaker 2: drew right outside of the public market, right, is that
- 27:56Speaker 2: that kind of under by the by the underpass are
- 27:59Speaker 2: there any time of the day, and you're finding people swinging,
- 28:02Speaker 2: that's true, and and they're always gonna be playing. Definitely
- 28:04Speaker 2: now that well maybe not now that potentially could be
- 28:08Speaker 2: underwatered here. We'll wait three or four days and then
- 28:10Speaker 2: we'll be able to bust off the outdoor pick All right, Dolff,
- 28:13Speaker 2: you mentioned no golf league tonight. You're not playing any
- 28:16Speaker 2: golf tonight. I don't think so. No, there's no chance.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Seems like a good night though for the for the
- 28:21Speaker 1: for you know, members meeting or something.
- 28:24Speaker 3: Could get definitely well, I was gonna say that playing
- 28:27Speaker 3: afternoon game, so you know, you can't have anything to
- 28:29Speaker 3: occupy that.
- 28:30Speaker 1: I really don't.
- 28:30Speaker 7: I'm not thrilled about NBA playing games. Are those over
- 28:33Speaker 7: or they're still happening.
- 28:34Speaker 1: Oh, that was a good one last night with the Warriors.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Steph Korean, Draymond still you know.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Wake up the Echoes and as the good ones as
- 28:40Speaker 3: they ever were. Raymond got a couple of huge steals
- 28:43Speaker 3: in the last minute. He's like, then the discussion for
- 28:45Speaker 3: greatest defensive player of all time? I can't figure out that.
- 28:48Speaker 7: So the format is they play and then some teams
- 28:52Speaker 7: still get even if they'll even if they lose, they
- 28:54Speaker 7: get another game and then they can play to go
- 28:56Speaker 7: play the one sea.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Now the Warriors are playing the Suns for the eighth season. Yeah,
- 29:00Speaker 2: so the seven to eight seeds play each other. The
- 29:02Speaker 2: winner of that game gets the seven seed, gotcha. Then
- 29:05Speaker 2: the loser of that game plays the winner of the
- 29:07Speaker 2: nine to ten game.
- 29:09Speaker 1: To play eight seed, to play the one seed. Yeah,
- 29:12Speaker 1: to play the one seed? Got it? And I didn't.
- 29:14Speaker 2: I guess I was kind of confused as they were
- 29:16Speaker 2: playing one on each deck each night, right, Like last
- 29:19Speaker 2: night was the seven to eight game in the East
- 29:21Speaker 2: and the nine to ten game in the West. It
- 29:25Speaker 2: probably would be a little cleaner and they make a
- 29:27Speaker 2: little more sense if you did all of them on
- 29:29Speaker 2: the same night.
- 29:30Speaker 1: You're to avoid some confusion.
- 29:31Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, like we're not going to tell
- 29:33Speaker 2: Amazon Prime how to use their product.
- 29:35Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
- 29:35Speaker 7: I guess It's not completely different than the college playing games,
- 29:39Speaker 7: where if you're the sixteen, you advance in the eleven
- 29:41Speaker 7: or twelve.
- 29:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:42Speaker 3: There was discussion with Arman online about whether that's the
- 29:45Speaker 3: NBA playoffs or it's the postseason. But do they call
- 29:47Speaker 3: it the playoffs, and like, I don't know the NBA
- 29:50Speaker 3: has a distinction or something.
- 29:52Speaker 2: Well, it is the Sofi playing tournament, so we it
- 29:56Speaker 2: is the Sofi play be right, postseason, not the playoffs whatever.
- 30:01Speaker 6: It is.
- 30:02Speaker 2: More than anything, it was a different banner that they
- 30:04Speaker 2: were able to sell for I think one point six.
- 30:06Speaker 3: If it walks, swims and quacks like a playoff, it's
- 30:09Speaker 3: a playoff.
- 30:09Speaker 2: It's a player well and it's cool to watch that
- 30:12Speaker 2: sport when everyone's trying. I mean, it definitely re emphasized
- 30:15Speaker 2: over the last couple of days. NBA basketball is really
- 30:17Speaker 2: good whenever really good, really good. It's fun to watch.
- 30:20Speaker 2: It is a playoffs. It's a great product.
- 30:22Speaker 3: The other thing I was gonna ask you golf since
- 30:24Speaker 3: the you know, golf league and stuff, it looks like
- 30:26Speaker 3: Live is circling the drain the Golf Tour. The Saudi
- 30:30Speaker 3: fun is they're pulling out MBS isn't happy and they're
- 30:32Speaker 3: they're in a war situation and they say they're gonna
- 30:35Speaker 3: fund They're like almost halfway into their slate for this year.
- 30:39Speaker 3: They've had like five of the sixteen or something.
- 30:41Speaker 7: You see the number that they have sunk into Live golf,
- 30:44Speaker 7: six billion five I think it's between five and six
- 30:47Speaker 7: billion dollars. And of course they have unlimited funds. But
- 30:50Speaker 7: and there's no return, there's no ratings, there's no juice.
- 30:53Speaker 7: But at one point you have to say, Okay, I mean,
- 30:55Speaker 7: I know we can just light money on fire here,
- 30:57Speaker 7: but at one point you have to say it.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Yeah, So this will probably would be the last year
- 31:01Speaker 3: of that, and then these guys got to come skulking back.
- 31:03Speaker 3: Some already have skulked and wise and came back early. Yeah,
- 31:06Speaker 3: it came back early on the front edge of it.
- 31:07Speaker 3: And we'll see what happens on that front. But who's
- 31:10Speaker 3: gonna miss the Live Golf Tour?
- 31:11Speaker 2: Not me?
- 31:12Speaker 1: No, I'm not either. I'm not.
- 31:13Speaker 7: I'm gonna miss shorts. I love I love those guys
- 31:16Speaker 7: getting over themselves and playing in shorts.
- 31:18Speaker 1: That was kind of cool.
- 31:19Speaker 6: Uh.
- 31:19Speaker 7: I wish they would have made some other radical changes,
- 31:22Speaker 7: like let everybody scream on the tea box, you know,
- 31:24Speaker 7: like at a baseball game when it's coming coming at
- 31:26Speaker 7: you at one hundred miles an hour and you got
- 31:28Speaker 7: to make contact.
- 31:29Speaker 3: You know, golf would be would have a surgeon popularity
- 31:32Speaker 3: if they allowed spectators to make noise, that would be awesome.
- 31:35Speaker 7: Other sport ever deal with it. Look how much fun
- 31:37Speaker 7: the waste management is in Phoenix. So live missed the
- 31:39Speaker 7: boat there. But I wonder that these guys that have
- 31:42Speaker 7: already come back, like kept I wonder if they have
- 31:43Speaker 7: to walk like through Shawshank when you know, when they
- 31:46Speaker 7: come back and let everybody else line up and scream
- 31:49Speaker 7: at him.
- 31:50Speaker 2: Cash, or if Brooks will be the first guy right
- 31:53Speaker 2: like when to Shamba and rom and I don't know,
- 31:56Speaker 2: maybe Dustin Johnson or he's just gonna enjoy all the
- 31:58Speaker 2: cash and just chill out. But like now that they
- 32:01Speaker 2: are the first ones back, like yeah, these guys, they're
- 32:04Speaker 2: the worst, right use guys have been here the whole time.
- 32:10Speaker 7: You can see Roryo just look and then just turn
- 32:12Speaker 7: his back on him, exactly, his arms crossed.
- 32:15Speaker 3: He's not gonna shake their hand after the eighteen and
- 32:17Speaker 3: stuff exactly. But this reminds me of like all these
- 32:20Speaker 3: satellite XFL UFL football leagues that pop up that have
- 32:24Speaker 3: no chance of surviving.
- 32:25Speaker 1: I haven't one minute of any of them.
- 32:27Speaker 7: No, I will admit because again, Drew, you mentioned world guys,
- 32:31Speaker 7: the usfl was was somewhat entertaining.
- 32:36Speaker 2: Nominee for the Hero of the day last night to
- 32:39Speaker 2: all the shuttle drivers for the different establishments across the
- 32:43Speaker 2: city last night after the Brewers game, because they have
- 32:47Speaker 2: their own lane, Drew right to go and pick people up,
- 32:49Speaker 2: drop people off, good late way to go in and
- 32:51Speaker 2: out when that lane is also flooded. It's not their
- 32:54Speaker 2: fault that police and fire fighters are telling them to
- 32:57Speaker 2: not drive their for conversion vans through the flooded water.
- 33:01Speaker 2: They're the messenger. It seemed like there were a lot
- 33:04Speaker 2: of angry patrons last night that maybe we're not listening
- 33:09Speaker 2: to folks inside American Family Field and said, hey, maybe
- 33:11Speaker 2: just give us twenty minutes, Maybe wait this thing out
- 33:14Speaker 2: for a little bit, because once you leave that door,
- 33:15Speaker 2: we still can't let you back in. But you might
- 33:18Speaker 2: want to be in here instead of out there. It's
- 33:20Speaker 2: gonna be a little while.
- 33:21Speaker 3: Yeah, so Current Electric call Current dot com the website
- 33:24Speaker 3: and yeah, I mean the superheroes are people helping us
- 33:27Speaker 3: navigate this horrific stretch of whether that we've had the
- 33:32Speaker 3: flooding and people who are working outside, people who are
- 33:35Speaker 3: unclogging drains, and you know, make time helping rescue people
- 33:38Speaker 3: that are stuck up to their axles in water.
- 33:41Speaker 2: And Current Electric can also be your superhero when you're
- 33:45Speaker 2: in need of power. Hasn't necessarily been a massive issue,
- 33:48Speaker 2: but we talked about the some pump yesterday, Drew. You're
- 33:51Speaker 2: gonna need that some pump to be running, and if
- 33:53Speaker 2: your powers out for any extended period of time, that
- 33:56Speaker 2: thing shuts off. Let them help you out at Current Electric.
- 33:59Speaker 2: Call Current They got free home generator assessments. They'll tell
- 34:02Speaker 2: you the right one for your home and keep you
- 34:04Speaker 2: safe and keep that thing running so your basement's not
- 34:07Speaker 2: becoming the pool that maybe you are hoping to put
- 34:10Speaker 2: together there exactly
