• 2:14
  Speaker 1: like to start the program today by taking a bit
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of a victory lap. All right, let's go, because you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: we refer to our audience as smart, good looking listeners.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Once in a while, you have a smart, good looking host.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Didn't I say the Brewers were due to put up
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a touchdown? Didn't I say they were gonna score? They
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: were going to break through. They were gonna get hits
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: when the damn broke, they were gonna get hits with
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: runners in scoring position. I think they had five hits
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: with runners in scoring position last night.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, that exciting fourth thing, Drew. You said it, you
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: called it, and you were correct. They put up that
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: seventh spot go.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: In a crooked number. I said, they're going to score
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a touchdown one of these days. Seven runs, you know what.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. And they scored seven runs yesterday, So
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I got to take a victory lap. I predicted that
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: noster damas a Calshi polymarket and the five o'clock Club
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: let's go well done, Well done, Drew, Well done, Drew.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I usually say this for Greenee, but I'll give you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: one of these. Oh there you go.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: The thing is, what I enjoyed about that rally in
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: the fourth is I don't know if it's just me.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know it's anecdotal, but I know other
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: people felt this too. It just felt like the Brewers
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: have been hitting into some hard luck lately, like a
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: lot of hard hit outs, which is part of baseball.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I get it. You know, we focus on exit philosophy
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and BABI and all those things, but the randomness is
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: there in baseball, and you can hit hard, you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: two gloves all the time. And there were a lot
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of stinkers, isn't the right term in that strengthening, A
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: lot of bloops, a lot of flares, a lot of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: duck farts, a lot of shoinkers, and we found a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: lot of grass. And the exit velocity necessarily wasn't the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: highest in that inning. But we were due for some
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: breaks like that, and just like you talked about, Drew,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: we were due for a crooked number. And I think
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: that's part of it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: And you know, you had sal had the flair you had,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: you know, you had a couple of kind of balls
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: with eyes or teas with the bouncer, and it was
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: nice to get a little luck in that fourth inning.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: And I think some well deserved good breaks for the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: offense who had been hitting into some hard Luckiately, now,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know if the stats would support that. I
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: didn't look at some third to fourth tier analytics to
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: check it out, but it feels like that anecdotally, and
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: that was nice to see the Brewers put up the
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: put up the runs with getting some nice breaks on
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: some of it's not necessarily scorchers, but finding grass balls
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: that found grass. And Sal Freelick, who specializes in that,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: is like nine to eighteen though I was the last eighteen,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: so he's starting to become the salvator.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: We recognize a little bit. This is you know, hashtag baseball. Yeah,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Brewers win a game last night. You know, Brandt's broke pitched. Well,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: we're going to get into recent history against the Cincinnati
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Red Legs, who scored in the first inning and then
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: their lead last lasted all of about you know, an
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: inning after that, Bruce tiede the game and then they
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: broke it open. With four in the in the fourth,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: tack down a run in the fifth, tacked on another
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: run in the eighth, which they needed. So seven runs,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: fourteen hits for the brew crew, and now people are
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: pissed because Christian Yellwich isn't hitting at the top of
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the lineup. Christian Yelich was zero for four with three
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: punchouts last night and a walk, and he hasn't looked good.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: He's scuffling a little bit, scuffling his average down to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: two fifty six. Well you don't like that. It's like,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you know, can we wait a week or so again,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Like it's just baseball slump star part of it. He
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: looks horrible. Get him out of the lineup. He's killing you.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Get him out of the get him out of the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: leadoff spot, Like, well, what's the difference. Yeah, it's like
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: we do this. It's gonna play him because he's your
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: best player and you need him to come through. There
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: was a time when Tarang wasn't good. Well, Terraang got
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a hit last night, but he wasn't you know, he
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: was one of the guys who got a hit. Yelich
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and David Hamilton were the only Brewers who didn't get
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: hits last night. Everybody else, A lot of guys had multiples,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: including Bowers, Mitchell Freelik, who was previously totally unhot. There
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: were people who wanted him out of the starting lineup
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and sent to the miners, off the team, and now
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: he's been hot for the last couple of weeks.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: It's July, first year, have fifty two wins. You don't
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: need to make these wild, vacillating changes.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: At Joey Ortiz. Joey Ortiz is uh, you know, two
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: more hits, two RBIs last night, all of a sudden,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Joeyo is playing and Cooper Prett took a seat. Right,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So everybody wants to like it's not perfect enough, like
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: they won a game seven to two. It's one two
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: in a row. But now it's like, okay, well what
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: can get better? Yeah, Yellows could play better, and he
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: will play better eventually because that's what he because you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: he's kind of a bankable commodity, and it's moving him
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: out of the leadoff spot. Gonna you know, shake things up.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not. I don't you think Christian Yellich is
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: putting the pressure on himself because he's leading off I don't, No,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: absolutely not. I don't think he cares where it is
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: in the lineup, and I think he could make if
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you had him betting fifth or seventh or eighth, the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: lineup would find him and he would punch out and
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: people be pissed. Right, That's what slumps are. It's the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: normal up and down of the events. Why have we
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: lost that? Why have we have We have so much
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: access to information and we have like an almost illiterate
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: sports populace where people will say, you know, okay, you're
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the ladoffs, but he's killing you. Yeah, you have fifty
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: two wins, like all the second third rest record in baseball.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: He's killing you. Well, we could go deep with this.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: This is a lot. It's a lot, and it's a lot,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and it's I just watched stuff now, and I know
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: it's because I'm old and I've been I've been watching
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: this stuff a long time and you know, and I've
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: been through it. I've been on the you know, I
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: was in the front lines. I watched. I've talked to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the managers of ned Yost told me that what he
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: learned from Bobby Cox. I've told you that this before.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: It's like when you get to the point where the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: fans are screaming for guys to be benched. You can't
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: stand to look at anyonere and give them another ten days.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I like that, and then I'll be out of it,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: right Like I gotta change. I gotta When you start
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: thinking about making a change, give it another ten days
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to two weeks, and then make the change, like you know, yeah,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: because it's the regression and it's guys are going to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: do what they did and water's gonna find its level.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: And man, all the years, you know, you've watched baseball,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: covered baseball, some of the great teams, great lineup.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Has there ever been This is what I think about it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Has there ever been a lineup as great as they
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: are that everyone's hitting at the same time.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Now, that's what it seems people want. It's not very often.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: The twenty seven Yankees had guys that were over the week.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: You know, I think of the ninety five Indians, I
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: mean they were all I mean this great lineup some paper, Yeah,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean everyone's hitting all at the same time. And
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: then we look back, we remember, boy, this was a
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: great team, great lineup, Yeah they were. But do you
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: think if you picked out a ranby in the calendar.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: They didn't all go three for four. I mean, you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: I'm sure many Ramirez and went over. Let's go back
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: and check your timeline. You know how many people out
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: there were screaming for Garrett Mitchell to be you know, hey, sucks,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: hurt all the time, he sucks. He looks like he's
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: gonna be a pretty nice player.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, Garrett's this is hot right now.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: And he's been one of the better players of this team,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: no matter what people say in Boston.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, And like Frelick was, Freelick was swinging a
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: nerve bat for a while. Suddenly he's hot. He's had
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a pretty good Curio came on Curio's Gangbusters. He's going
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to be good.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: That also doesn't mean that they're not going to have
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: a week or two of course, a point of course,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: that's what a good lineup and a good team is
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: all about, picking each other up, trying to get enough
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: every day.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: So there's gonna be times when Jake Bowers looks bad
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: at the plate. He's looked really good for most of
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the year, and he's been dependable and people love him
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: for a good reason. Yeah, three hits last night scored
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: three runs, which is, you know, the object of the game.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: He had a good night again at home run. But
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: but the team's winning a lot, and that's the most
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: important thing. And that's the thing. But it's not perfect enough,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: not perfect enough, it's not perfect not everyone's not hitting
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: at the same time. Yeah, let's find the one. So
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: let's yell it sucks, get himut of the leadoff spot,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and I'll feel better about my life and this team. Well,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you know, not everything has to hang in the loop.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Not every game like that. You win ugly. You win
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: games like they've won ugly, Like is this a win banket?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: And move on?
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Like what bothers me is that when people try and
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: project this to what's gonna happen in four months, that's well.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: And that's the other thing. None of this has any
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: indication of.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: What might happen on October sixth. I'm picking a rain
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: day in October. No indication at all. If yell Ax
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: hits great now or doesn't hit great now, or one
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: guy doesn't, it doesn't mean he's gonna hit better on
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: that day that you need him to win.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: In Game five of the playoffs, you know what I mean?
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: That's the thing that will always fire me up. There
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: is a randomness to it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You want the best players you can, playing the best
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: they can when they when they can.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: But you also can't pick and choose that either. Well,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: we're peaking too early. I ever heard that one.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you peak every time you can, You take any
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: peak you can at any time. I mean, isn't that
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: what life's all about? Isn't that what it is? You
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: get it when you can, you know, So you're right, jr.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: It just we need something to talk I guess people
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: some people feel they need something to talk about or
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: or something to get upset about. I don't know, well
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: what it is. And then let's find the flip side
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: of this is again like in this rush to judgment
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: era and stuff, and like everybody's got to have a
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: hot take and everybody wants to I guess you can
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: go to the roots of it. Is it Should we
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: blame stephen A and Skip and the debate desk and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you know, embrace debate. Should we blame that? But you could?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: But the news popped out yesterday right when we leave
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the air. It looks like the Badgers have settled on
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: an athletic director and Shawn, I course, the guy who
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: played at White Whitewater Roots, you know, Wisconsin. Guy's travel
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: around has a link to the Barry Alvarez era. And
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: he's traveled around and he's worked at other places and
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: most notably recently at Nebraska. And then and and people
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: are they're just pissed, like this is a terrible hire.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: How do you know? Like what would be a good hire?
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Who would excite you? Because that person might suck. There
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: were people that were excited that Chris McIntosh got hired,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and it seemed like, you know, now that he's he's
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: moved on there, like he sucked. If he'd have stayed
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: a while longer, maybe football would have, you know, straightened
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: things out. I don't know that it will, but maybe
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: it would have, and he would have in ten would
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: have been seen differently. Do you think this is the generation?
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: That's absolutely what it is? Like, how do you know?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And if it had been some guy that they should
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: have hired, some guy that I've never heard of, like
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and most people had forgotten about Sean I. Hurst and
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: then they looked at his resume and like, well, this
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: is a terrible hire. Well you don't you don't know
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that it might be it might be the greatest hire
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: in the history of Wisconsin sports, but you don't know
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: until and again like what was what went into it?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: His experience, his ties to the university. They interviewed a guy,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: they and they bring it in a guy will it work?
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: But can't we just like, can't you say okay, they've
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: made this and here and then just give it a
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: chance to Breathe No, got there are people out there
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: declaring that this is a terrible hire. I don't know
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: if it is or not, and nobody does no idea,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: We have no idea what the results will be.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: My curiosity is always do you are you saying that
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: because you want people to think you normal than the well?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: And then that'd be like if I'm just curious if
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: in a different market somebody hired Gooty is their GM
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: or their football team and you went like he gave
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: big money to Jimmy Graham, he sucks, sure, And then
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: like what about the rest of it? Like what about
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: like you made he made one move with a football
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: coach that didn't work and people didn't like, right, so
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: he wasn't But then to your point, with the lineups
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: not perfect, all the but yeah, not perfect all the time,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: but like did the money roll in? That that's the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: biggest thing about AD jobs, especially now, and they can
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: they get money roll in? How was how did we
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: do in the other sports? Like how was the what's
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the state of the program? How were the processes? Like
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: we've talked about it before, we talked about it yesterday
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: at length. With baseball, it's like you can hit one
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: hundred and ten mile an hour rocket right into somebody's
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: glove and that's an unsuccessful at bat. And you can
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: get a fastball on your thumbs that duck farts over
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the second basement, sad, and that's a successful at bat?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Which process was better? Well the rocket and it didn't
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: work out. So it's like you have to evaluate things
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and look at process and then say okay, because results
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: aren't always guarantee what you want. They're not guaranteed, they're
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: not promised. So I look at process and I don't know,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and it does seem to me the flaw is it's
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: like you're gonna hire an AD before you hire a chancellor,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Like shouldn't they I thought, shouldn't you hire the the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: GM before the coach? Like to me, that was that's weird.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: But again, but when you're looking at process, like who
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: did they consider, it'd be nice to know who the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: other finalists were in a state derby like this, but
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you know something about them. But then but you don't know,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: like if they should have hired this guy that no
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: one They hired an unknown guy to everybody here from
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the University of San Diego, and he comes in he's
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the greatest ad ever or it's terrible, like it's you know,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Gary Anderson, it's you don't know and but nobody you
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: no one can like allow that. We have to weigh
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: in on everything. It's like, okay, well let's see if
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: it works. Well, yeah, we can't allow four times, can't
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: allow time to it, can't even allow him to see
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: what and look what you're walking into.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: We can't allow for the possibility of two things being
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: true to Yeah, that's the other thing too true.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah he might be good, it might not. I mean,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: for one thing, And again, I don't know if Sean.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I know people who know him. I think I've met
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: him over the years of many years ago, but I
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: have no relationship with the guy. I have no idea
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and I didn't follow his career when he was at
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Miami and then at Nebraska and now at Texas as
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the CEOO and assistant ad like Texas seems like they're
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: pretty much a wagon when it comes to sports. It's
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: about management. I don't know, I don't know. But Nebraska,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you know, their football team has been stumbling in the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: wilderness without of course too right, it's been they've it's
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: been a tough slog for them since they joined the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Big ten. And was it his fault? But you got
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to say, he's got the experience, he's got the track record, right,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: he's got like it's not big pro big program. Yeah,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: it's not, it's not, it's not. He's not overmatched. And
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the fact that he has stayed ties obviously we like
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: our own here, but that doesn't.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: That means process should be good there. So yeah, I
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: mean the idea of Fickle is a good example.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: It's been a struggle so far, but there's been There
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: was zero question that at the time exactly. That is
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the perfect example. Yeah, And like when when that hire
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: was made, everybody's side, has it worked out? Nope? Did
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: anybody pan it nationally or locally? When when Luke Fickle
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: got hired, not that I remember. The only ones that did.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I think we're the ones that were emotional for the
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: for Jim Leonard to get it, but no one.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: No one did it because it was fickle. Does that
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: make sense, Yes, totally, it was.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I thought it should have gone to Leonard and now
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: you see a lot of that in hindsight, it's twenty twenty.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: But the other thing about that is we had no
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: idea if Jim Leonard would have won games either. We
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: like to think that we might know, but we don't exactly.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: So you don't really know that either. I mean you don't.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, there's a lot of that.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: You're right, d there's a lot of that in our
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: landscape now and that's what we that's what happened with
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: what we do. But it it's just the nature of
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: the beast, I suppose. But it would be nice to
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: sit there and say, yes, well, it's like.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: This guy screwed up at Nebraska. That was eight years ago.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: And again I've seen I've seen a lot, man, I've
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: been doing this a long time. I'm old enough to
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: remember when the Yankees had a managerial search and they
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: landed on a guy who had failed in Saint Louis
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and they hired Joe to Tory and the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: headline on the back page of the New York Post
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: said clueless Joe, and they ripped it and he went
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: on to be like one of the greatest manager in
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Yankees history of all time World Series with the hot
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the instant reaction clueless Joe. What a terrible hire they made.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: You just don't know sometimes, right, you don't Hey, the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Packers are bringing in Jimmy Graham, what a great higher
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be great. He's gonna team up with
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Then it was Martelli's I Sometimes you just
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: don't know, and this guy is like, okay, but he's
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: eight years removed from Nebraska. In the interview process, you
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: might ask, Hey, if you had to do over, what
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: are some of the things you like? Oh, I wouldn't have.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: And sometimes when people when you work in any industry,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: like Robin you Hout used to tell me you played
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: twenty years, you're gonna a year where you just suck,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: of course, and where everything goes against you and you're
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: hurt and you just never feel right and you just suck. Well,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: you know, Ron Wolf had draft picks, He's like, well,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I screwed the pooch on that one. But he's regarded
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: as one of the greater gms in NFL history. But
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: he still had some horrible drafts. We go back and
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: pick apart his drafts. Was his tenure successful? Sure? Again,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not endorsing this, and I'm not an apologist for
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the universe. I have no ties. I didn't go to Wisconsin.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't I'm not beholden to anybody there,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: of course, but we just don't know. And to dismiss
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: this as oh, I'm gonna be the first on my
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: block to declare this sucks. Well, congratulations, and then what
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: are you gonna do if it works? What gonna do
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: if they win a national championship? That just so?
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Then or if they wouldn't the title, You're not gonna
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: say anything, right, we know where this goes. I mean, well, Drew, yes,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: I mean padise.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: This guy, Oh, he sucked at Nebraska. Well, the last
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: eight years he's been at Texas and he's been overseeing
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the football program and they've turned it around. I mean
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: they draw a hundred thousand people a game, pretty good.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: They've had three ten wins seasons in a row. Their
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: fundraised pretty well, right, that's been pretty good. Uh yeah,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: so I know, but again we don't know. That doesn't
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: mean coming home, It doesn't mean it's gonna work. There
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: were some people who thought the Doc Rivers hire would work.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: It didn't. A lot of great comments and we'll get
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: to them all. But Drew, I think all your points
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: are well taken. Can anything just be and like, can
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: we like, oh, okay, well, and it is interesting this
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: guy's oh Whitewater. Now okay, let's say this guy comes
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: in and Luke Fickle's gone, and maybe he's the one
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: guy that could make the dream come true and complete
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the cycle and bring his white Water Boddy Lance light
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: pole to the fold, and then we'll go to work.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know but to dismiss this and say it's
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: a terrible hire, you just don't know that. You can't
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: know that, and you can't say, well, some guy they
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: should have hired, some guy from Pepperdine or from there's
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: a guy they should have hired from, you know, McNee state.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: I love when people do this with drafts too, when
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: they look back at how could you have drafted him?
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: When so and so was right there and everyone knew.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: You should know, give me a break.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Nobody knows. Nobody can tell the future. Nope, and it
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: never is like that. So Drew, we have a I
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: don't know if I mentioned it, by the way, and
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: you uh, by the way, I coursed arm and he
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: does have a degree a lot of agree from Marquette.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you get it like that. So he ring out
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: a hooya when he was with Marquettes football. He never
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: lost the market's football program A Markett football got to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: get off my soapbox eight seven seven seven nine three.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Hunter did get us a short interview with Change Rowan.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I mentioned that we can play
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: that we're gonna play that he's gonna he's gonna start
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: so well, Hunter's recap. We got Change growing interview, we
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: got plenty, we got hot takes, and I'm starting out
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: with hot takes that people pump the brakes and saying
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: do we have to declare it? Do you have to
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: do you feel better? I went to ask and say
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: this higher sucks. Okay, congratulations, let's get after it's Wednesday.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio with Jack Centurial's
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: got a duns and homes. How about that act of
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: a lot dude right there, he's toot your heads. You
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: can't hit him many harder.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: Than than he has.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Tonight, Brewers put up a touchdown as predicted on this
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: program yesterday, Jackson Traio with the home run Brewers TV,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Jeff Levering, Bill Schroeder on the call, Rock was with
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: us yesterday. Rock agreed Birds were due, and they're due,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and they have a chance to win the four game
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: series if they win tonight. They have two chances to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: win the four game series. Tonight and then tomorrow. Tomorrow's
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the showdown of all showdowns. You got the hard throw
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: and everybody's predicting, you know, Harvey Haddocks type pitching tomorrow night,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: we'll see or tomorrow tomorrow afternoon. But first tonight, Birds
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: have a chance to win the series. They're kicking sand
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: in the Red's faces and have been for several years,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: which is good. Let's keep that going. Let's keep it going, friend, Drew.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: You mentioned the respective division records for both teams, and
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: that does a lot to indicate why both teams are
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: where they are.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: And yeah, and that continued last night.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Drew, and that's the tenth homer this month for Jack
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Jack That's pretty good, isn't it.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Homer's a month as June ended last night. You did
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: it every month. You hit like sixty homers a year.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: So he's having an incredible stretch. I don't want to
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: say this to I say this wrong. It's gonna sound
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: like his first two years weren't good. They were both
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: very good. But he's he's starting to approach maybe a
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: next level of his career as only a twenty two
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: year old, but starting to have that generational spurt.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty impressive what he has done already in
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: his young career, especially with.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: The hype that preceded him. I would buy I would
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: buy futures on Jackson Trup. You can still think he's
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: going to be good for a long time, very good.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: You know the Brewers, it looks like they've they judged right.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: And yeah, just think about that. I mean, I think again,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: athletes peak when they're twenty seventies, five years away from
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: his peak, and we're seeing him on the ascent. Yes,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: looking pretty good. And it's not.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Often in sports that somebody lives up to the hype
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: we give them, and then you know, we talk about
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: lebron on the cover, we talk about Bryce Harper. Now
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying Jackson's at that level or anything, but
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: obviously when it comes to Brewers World and Brews fandom,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: he was his hyped and anticipated as anybody. We expected
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: greatness from the start, and he's essentially given it to us.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: He's had given us really good years. There's no question
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: if you're talking.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: About a baseline for him being a three war year,
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: two and a half twenty Homers every year.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I'm just so excited to see what he can still become.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: And the fact that he'll be part of it here
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: in Milwaukee for for the next five six years is
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: so exciting. So I love seeing that we're broadcasting live
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: on nine twenty Milwaukee ten seventy Medicine everywhere in the
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I Heart app, streaming live, Facebook x and YouTube. But
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey and Milwaukee's asking mister first fifty minute talking, there's
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: no YouTube feed on video. It should be there. It
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: should be there there, man, if.

  Speaker 3: We're not a bunch of people commenting on it, so
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I think it's there. Yeah, So maybe you're searching in
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: the wrong spot. It would seem to mat me help
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: you out, let me help you out there.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, Jeffrey, I think we have Arman fired it
• 24:42

  Speaker 1: snap judgments, you know, it's the culture we're in, the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: soup we're in. And maybe it's because maybe it was
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: always like this, but it's I equate this too. This
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: is gonna be a Dan Needles stipe stretch, so buckle up.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: It's like when the show Hoarders came on, and that
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: creeps me out right, the show Hoarders, when people pass away,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: it's just crazy, just a crazy, crazy show, just mazes.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Their house was a maze of old newspapers and food
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: cartons and just like, it's so creepy and so off putting.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: But until that show, not everybody knew that that existed.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: But it always did. There were people who were like, oh,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: we got to go clean out Uncle Fred's place. But
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: you just didn't see it visually. You didn't see it.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: You didn't see those dark areas of society there. And
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: it's but it's always been happening. Well now, people have
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: always had kind of dumb opinions. But now that everybody's
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: got like a platform and social media, we have to
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: sift through them all. Whereas you know, people used to
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: say stuff at the corner tavern and only the fifteen
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: people there heard it. Now more people see it and
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the idiots have a voice too, and sometimes the idiots
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: voices are louder than the sane people, right, and you
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: have to decide who's saying and who's an idiot, and
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: it's hard to sift through. Again, it's just it's it's
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: above my pay grade sociologically, and you know where we
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: are as a culture.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: I think it's also on our face more because of
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: the pervasiveness of social media, question multiple media.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: That's the whole point. But yeah, that's the point. And
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: it's like that's it's like, are things really worse than
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: they were thirty years ago or forty years ago or
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: fifty years ago. Crazy things always happened in this world,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: but they're in front of us now. It's funny because
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I just, you know, just this morning when I woke up,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I flipped that there's an essay on that I saw
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: on social media, some guy talking about to crying how
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: baseball sucks and they need to get back to how
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: it was thirty years ago. That column's been written every
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: summer since the nineteen hundreds, how it used to be,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: well what specifically, I mean, yeah, because it's like, oh,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: they're only worried about home runs and they've lost the
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: ability to run bases and steal bases and play the
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: right way, And like, have you watched the Brewers? I mean,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know what team the guy's watching, but have
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: you watched the Brewers? Like the way they win and
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: like the things they do. It's like that is kind
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: of their whole vibe. No, you're right, it's a refrain
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: that gets repeated in regeneration. Yeah, and like the baseball
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: is losing its fans and losing young fans that they've
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: been writing those since the forties. It just again, I
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: just the longer you're in this, the longer the more
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: it's just like you just want to take a pass
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: on everything. And again I went off on a rant
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: about people already dismissing as a failure the UW's decision
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: to hire Sean Eikers. You don't know that, Like did
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: he have some missedteps?
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Sure?
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Did he have a bat? And football is everything? I
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: get it, you get there's no margin for error with
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the football and big programs. You screw up football, you've
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: screwed up, you get fired. At Nebraska, that was like
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: almost ten years ago. But during his time at Nebraska,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the important things behind the scenes that keep things humming.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: He raised money and got a basketball arena built. That's
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: just really nice, right, and that's like, that's those are
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: the things like Mark Murphy won a title and that's
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: forever great. But he also developed the title town district,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: which may be more important to the overall health of
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the franchise than the trophy. That's in the case as
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: stupid as that sounds, right, and you.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Don't realize those things until later on, so exactly what
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: they are absolutely is important.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Exactly so again like the urge to dismiss this as stupid,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: like you don't know, it might not work, but it might,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: but to go into it and to dismiss it already
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: and to shut it off and say this was dumb.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: They should have hired any number of other guys the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: flip side of that coin, other than as you mentioned,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: the Leonard apologists and loyalists. Everybody was excited when Luke
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Fickle got hired. It has not worked out, It hasn't
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: been successful. Could he still be successful? Is it flickering chance?
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: It starts with Notre Dame at lambeau Field. We'll talk
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: about that more. But the Brewers one people should be happier.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: We're heading towards a holiday. We have this show tomorrow show,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: and then we're off on Friday. Billy's headed to the desert.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: You know, we're you know, for the most part, we
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: can do our state of the State, you know, sports
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: thing and talk about it. The Bucks are going to rebuild.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: The Yannis eras over. The Lebron here is over in
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles. He's moved on. You know. The only constant
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: in sports and life is change, right, and so you
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: can be looking good at one moment and suck the next.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: And I feel like with the Lebron thing, quickly we'll
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: get to stuff like that. But this is everybody's last
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: chance that enjoyed that if that generation, the Lebron generation
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: that spanned two decades, now this is your last chance
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: for any sort of Lebron drama. This is your last
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: like decision. This is your last chance to live that life.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Does it go to Cleveland, does it go to Golden State?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: But go to Miami Because I feel this this generation
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: of New American stars, except for Jaylen Bronson, is pretty
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: much disappointed. Everybody is Zion and Ja. That's why I
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: think everybody still wants.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: To hang on to the Lebron Durant hardened, like all
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: these old heads that became now, like these these adults
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: that everyone grew up with was their generation, so they
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: still wanted to believe that that that that's the storyline, like, well,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Lebron go to Golden State, Like does it really matter
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: if if all the old heads go together? But people
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: will still want to talk about it. So that's my
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: theory on that too, Drew.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: But yeah, the story there yesterday was Lebron will not
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: be back in La but we'll keep playing. So where
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: will he go next? This is the decision Part what four?
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Part four? Yeah, so hotte compte will fire up at
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: six am. When we come back, we will hear Hunter
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Bombguard's recap of the Brewers victory last night over the
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Red Legs. They've been dominating the Reds. It's impressive. We'll
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: talk about that as we move forward as well. You
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: were in the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin in the
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: good Land, Drew Wilson, armand sorry and Billy's on vacation,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: headed to the city in the desert that he loves
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: so much. Yeah, he's trying to get a break from
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the heat. Yep, going to Vegas where it's you know,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: gonna be cooler. Uh, he's missing this super hot like
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: this weekend. I think it's gonna be like one hundred
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: and ten there, but right now it's like more temperate
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: ninety six. Yeah. Well so there's probably a pool in
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: his future, some air conditioned casino action. Oh yes, he'll
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: be availing himself of and probably had a great Circus
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Sports book to watch some Brewers action. I'm sure it's
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: gonna be fun good for him.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: In World Cup action tonight, a lot highly anticipated match
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: for the USA Knockout Stage.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Drew that's continuing to roll on some exciting stuff. They
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: got a chance to write a hell of a story.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Well I really do.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: I mean I think that's you know, I think that's
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: the excitement of this. It's not just like all right,
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: we eked into the Knockout stage. Everyone's like, Oh, this
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: team's decent.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: They can let's a split screen opportunity because that game
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: starts twenty minutes after the Brewers first pitch perfect if
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: you have the double TV setup. So that'll be good. Yeah,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: that'll be good. This portion of the program brought to

  Speaker 1: nine to nicolay lot dot com talking text. I mentioned
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: the Brewers won yesterday. Our buddy Hunter Bombgart covers the
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Brewers for us on the daily. He is boots on
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: the ground and let's hear his recap from last night's victory.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Take it away, Hunter, thanks guys.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: The Brewers get a win over the Cincinnati Reds last night,
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: seven to two, four runs in that fourth inning, for
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: the crew. Sal Frielick was right in the middle of it.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: Drove in a run in that inning. He was three
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: for four with a double last night. He hit three
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: forty eight in June. He really likes how the offense
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: has played the last couple of games.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: I think it's been a good past two days for us.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: I think maybe the past week the offense wasn't clicking
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: like you usually do. I think it's a big testament
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: to us too, though, that when it wasn't clicking, were
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: able to figure out how to win games, which I
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: think is just as important because you're not always going
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: to be clicking. But it was just good to kind
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: of get back to our roots, had a little meeting
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: and just discuss what makes us great. And it was
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: great to go out the last two days and kind
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: of put that out there.
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: And on the mound. Brandon scrote five and a third
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: two earned runs allowed. He really likes pitching when the
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: offense is doing what it did and the defense behind
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: him is playing like it does.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, that was awesome. I mean, that's that's
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: our offense for you.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: A battle and battle and battle you know, good ab
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: after good ab and just produce runs. I mean, they're
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: it's it's it's fun to pitch or you know, and
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: I've got, you know, that offense and that defense behind him.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: So and Sprote really put together a nice June himself,
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: So the Brewers will go for the series win. Coming
• 35:40

• 37:14
  Speaker 1: games he's gotten tossed. Yeah, that was pretty wild. And
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: then you had a World Cup action Mexico getting through
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: which is pretty good. They played that one in Mexico.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I want to say, is that correct? I think so,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: I want to be that's the first time they've won
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: a knockout round game in quite a while, since eighty six,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: so forty years. Forty years they took down Ecuador and
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: they've moved on.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Eighty six was the the Iagle Maradona Hand of God
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Argentina World Cup, but that was the first time they
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: moved or they won a world.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Knockout stage game. So absolutely absolute excitement for Mexico for
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of fans.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Last night, Norway got the win Holland. Holland saved them
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: late and they did that that rowboat thing. I don't
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: know if you've seen that drew well all the fans
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: row the boat. Yes, it is absolutely watch really cool.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: This is what makes this this thing fun. France dominated
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: and Bape had another goal and he's been just setting
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: records and he's at the top of his game right now.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: So fun to see. You're gonna see some Obviously the
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: USA is the headliner tonight, but I believe England will
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: be playing tonight, so other other favorites involved.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: It's just gonna be a lot of fun this week.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: England playing Congo, Belgium Senegal as well tonight to round
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: it out, and then USA and Bosnia Herzegovina is the
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: headliner tonight, so you.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Can hear the World Cup action right here on nine
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: to twenty Milwaukee in ten seventy in Madison. This is
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: truly we're your home for the World Cup. This has
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: been a great tournament. Tro The actual field has been good, stars, yeah,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: storylines off the field, fans have enjoyed it. It's really
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: the guy from Germany was his own vibe. Yeah, I
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: mean that's yeah.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: I mean the fans have been their own storyline throughout.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: USA has done a great job hosting, showing what we
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: can do for these large scale events. And our home
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: team's playing really well. Obviously we hope that continues. You're
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: seeing you know, you're seeing a lot of stars obviously,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Bape Messi, Ronaldo holland all these guys.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: You know, the US is to get through and if
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: they beat Bosnia tonight, which I think you know they're favored,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: they're they're a pretty good favorite against Bosnia. Yeah, and
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: then you're looking at the winner of Belgium Senegal, and
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: then it gets real because you're in a bracket with
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: you know, Spain in France and the big dogs, like
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: the big dogs, the big dogs. Yeah, but for me,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: the US is one game, one victory away from kind
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: of house money territory. I would agree they get to
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: the round of like sixteen, yeah, debit, yeah yeah, if
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: you get if you get to the round eight, that's
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: pretty damn good. You get that the hometown bounce, you know,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: being in your home country and being.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: You know, oh yeah, absolutely right looking at it, because
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: if they beat Bosnia Hertzegovina, they'd be playing the winner
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: of Belgium Senegal. You know, Belgium is the favorite there,
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: but both teams, you know, both world powers. Senegal has
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: been good, so listen, at this stage of World Cup action,
• 40:05
