  Speaker 1: Drew Billion-Armond bringing it to you. Oh, my goodness. Oh,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: my goodness.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: The off-mic conversations on this show.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: The show behind the show. He's too amazing. It's incredible, Drew.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: And then that's when you start realizing, like, these are
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: real human beings. Like, AI slop is going to get really,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: really good with numbers. It already is. But, like, for us,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: they're going to be able to tell you way more
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: about the Green Bay Packers due to the numbers than
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: maybe we could. They can never replace Armin Sarian. I'm sorry.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: There's no algorithm. I appreciate you, Billy. That's a compliment.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: No artificial intelligence or what did I hear we're calling
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it now? Super intelligence? Super intelligence. So SI's back. Finally,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: SI's back. Holy cow. That's another thing. Holy cow. They're
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: also artificial once again. But yeah. That's another thing I
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: subscribe to. I would... Well, you dreamed of it. You
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: always dreamed of it. No, I actually had that. You
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: can never make a computer system look and sound like
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Armin Sarian. There's just no way. Can't do it. I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: hope not. Because if I do, I'm out of a job.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You've been approximated. No chance. Or else maybe I'll finally
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: have the distribution I expected. Maybe.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Hot take hump days upon us. All right, hot take.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, hot take.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: The Brewers had a little gathering on the plaza outside
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: American Family Field yesterday.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: That was awesome. Playoff ticket sales and to juice things, right? Yeah,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: kickoff playoff ticket sales that drew were kicked off, scored, spiked,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and over. about six hours before the event happened. I'm
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: not surprised Brewers fans want those tickets, and they were coveted,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and they quickly got smashed up there. And people went
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to the windows.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Usually buying tickets now, you roll out of bed in
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: your bathrobe, you fire up the laptop, and you're good
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to go. But people actually went and got tickets. So
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: they did a robust business because people are excited about
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the playoffs.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Then they had this.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Pep rally party broadcast, and Billy was our boots on
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the ground.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: What was it like? The energy was, I'll be honest
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: with you guys, pretty impressive. There was not only exciting
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: for the younger millennials of Jeff Jenkins and Corey Hart
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: talking to them. guys and uh get taking some pictures
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: with folks out there they had brady and um brady
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and trey evil the evil brothers were there and they
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: were handing out some popsicles which was a good which
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: was a.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Big win in our family that's awesome big win and
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: when it's 60 degrees big win 60 degrees and when
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: you're a kiddo you still want it it didn't matter
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: i liked it and uh the one year old was
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: just just hand all over the popsicle. I think we
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: had like three different changes of clothes that we needed
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: for him at that point.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: But the play area was open. There were a ton
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of people in line. We got there maybe 25, 30
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: minutes before it started, before they opened up the gates.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And by that, let the first person grab the first
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: free t-shirt that they had. Best part of the t-shirts, Drew? Sizes. Oh, really?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Human sizes. Right. From adult, small... Well, that's kind of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a stretch. To Milwaukee's size.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: 2XL. Yeah.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Double X.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Gotta have the double X if we're going to be
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: in Milwaukee. I'm assuming that was like the Gildan Cotton,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: like the basic. They shrink a lot. So like small
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: is ambitious. But I guess for the girls and for
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the kids and stuff like that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Probably for the kiddos. Yeah. Well, some females. Probably for
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the kiddos too. But that's small is ambitious. But I'm
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: glad they had the real Milwaukee sizes. Because you need some.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You need something like that. Plenty of beer stands open
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: throughout the gates. They probably could have had maybe one
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: or two more areas for people to buy food. I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: don't know that they planned on as many people saying, sweet,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: go get dinner, watch the game. People had a ton
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: more people at lawn chairs than I would have thought.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: We love to gather in Milwaukee. And I should have anticipated, Drew.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: As we mentioned, KB, a number of times here today,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: what did KB always say? There's concrete. We're going to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: drink on it. Might as well drink on it. People
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: brought lawn chairs. No coolers because no outside beverages. We
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that you're getting that $ 5 Miller
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Lite because legendary moments start with a light. There were
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of legendary moments starting up there last night.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Timmy D was doing some crowd work early on. Vinny
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Rotino did a nice Q & A with Jeff Jenkins,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Corey Hart, the Ebel brothers were up there. They had
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a couple other young men that were the draft picks
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: this year. Jones, Kyle Jones, sound correct? Maybe third-round draft pick?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And the young man.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I want to say his name is Sawyer Strohsmeyer. Strohsmeyer.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: The kid whose dad caught the home run. Yes, yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: For the Timber Rattlers. Strohsneider. Strohsneider, thank you.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Sawyer Strohsneider from TCU. You were right about Kyle Jones, Florida.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, perfect. Yes, Gator. And Sawyer tells a story about
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: his pops was actually leaving later that night. To go down.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It was the last game in the run that he
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: was going to be able to see him watch. He
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: gets to not only see, but catch his kid's first
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: professional home run. So that was really, really cool. Vinny
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Rotino did a great job making sure that the Ebel
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: brothers let everybody know they're cheering for the Brewers this year.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: No longer cheering for Dino and Dad and the Dodgers. Yeah,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: there you go. All right, we're out on that. Yes.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: We're out on that. But it was, all in all,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a very... I thought optimistic group of Brewers fans that
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: generally drew. There was nothing else happening last night around this.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Our boy, Ken Spindler. wheeling out these massive heaters. He said,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: it's going to get a little chilly out here, so
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: we are not taking any chances. I saw him working,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: bringing a bunch of heaters out there, trying to fire
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: it up. There were a lot of people that I
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: think just wanted to be around it. Almost how Paul
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Horning said Packers fans would always be. They just want
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to be around it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: This gets me, though, because my suggestion is there is
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: no Deer District per se.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: They're trying to create it, and I get it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: But that plaza that they're building and what you experienced
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: last night, to me, It's going to be great on
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: a Tuesday night in June or July.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: That's when it's going to be cool.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: But for the playoffs, I don't understand why the Brewers
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: don't just– why they just don't open up the ballpark
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and let people watch on TV. And I get it
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: because it's hard to gauge with staffing and how many
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: ushers do we have.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Shut down the upper deck for starters.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: But if the Brewers play in the World Series on
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the road, you can't tell me that people, 30,000 people
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: won't go.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: There and drink. I agree. At the ballpark.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Because there is no deer district. And Billy and I
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: were talking off the air when the Bucks had their
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: run and it was magical. Part of it is warped
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: in our memory because.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: It was in July. It was nice. In the summer, yeah. Gorgeous.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: In the dead of summer. Those nights were incredible.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: It's a different vibe when it's 55 and sleeting.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: And not great. Right. So it's the roof, right?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: So you have the roof. So to me, it's like, why.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't you explore that? And I get there, there are
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: logistic things, but other ballparks do it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: A lot of other ones do it. And now maybe it's, Again,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: maybe they do, maybe they don't.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe they have more plans with the construction, but you're
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: not starting that while you know you're going to be
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: playing playoff games. None of the trust club issue or
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: build is going to be interfered with because you're getting
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: ready to play games. It's ready, it's functional, it's open.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And I thought last night what you got was, Drew,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: people just wanted to be there. People wanted to see
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: other fans and talk more about it. And that's what'll
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: happen when the playoffs are.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: We love to gather. Yeah, absolutely. So you're looking for
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: somewhere to... And they've done it in the past. They've
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: done it different, like pop-ups and stuff.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: They've done... kind of watch parties. We tried one on
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: like 35th Street last year. The Harley Campus. Yeah, yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And it's like, well, just open up the ballpark.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: You know, we like to gather and as a community,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: especially in sports, are one of the things that do
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: this more than anything now. And it just makes sense.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: You talk about revenue driving. I mean, that's a revenue
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: driver right there. You can bring people in the ballpark.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Yes and no. Yes and no, because you've got to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: pay the ushers. You've got to pay the vendors. But
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: there's got to be a margin. You're making a profit.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: There should be, but is it a loss?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And even if it is a loss, is it worth
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: it to create that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I was a juice. And then one of the finals
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: that I serve was fun.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: If you're going to do it, do you have to
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: do it from the start or do you have, wait, okay,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: we'll wait till the LCS and then see. Cause we,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: you know, what if, if the brewers let's, Oh, heaven forbid,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: let's throw it out there. Let's say they clinch the
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: national league pennant and happens to be on the road. Like,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: and they cut to a shot of, you know, 30,000
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: people at Ampham going nuts. And think you can have
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the same kind of thing. Like, you know, Rock's not
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: doing anything during the playoffs. They're not really involved. Have them,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: you know, MC, get.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: The place going. I love that idea because they also,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, now I don't know where they are in
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the full winterization of the ballpark. That's not a part
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of it. But it's also not needed. The thing is,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you close that up, and 25,000, 30,000 people, we're going
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to heat ourselves. That's going to be warm enough in there.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Well, if you're going to play a game in there,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: you can have a watch party.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: It'll be comfortable. The other thing is, Drew, there's the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: double-edge here of the Bucs playoff run. It was later
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: than any playoff run would be, and our minds are
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: totally warped in April compared to October. Last night, I'm
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: standing out there, and as a 300-pounder, Your boy sweats
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: going to turn on the heat. I'm standing in line
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: there for about 10 minutes. Look over at my wife
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and go, oh, my goodness. I'm a little chilly.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: And that outside plaza is a wind tunnel.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, big time. Where they have it right now with
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: a little stanchion, which was really, really cool for some pictures.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: That's over by our press entrance there over by the
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: right field corner.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know how Hunter doesn't get blown over. It's
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: a little svelte cat. He could definitely get caught up
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: in one of those 35-degree gusts. And it can be
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: chilly out there, so I don't know how long you're
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: going to get people to wait outside. But people want
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to be doing something about it because there are a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: lot of different friends of mine that have moved out
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of the area. you know, lived here for college a
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: couple of years after we went out. The Deer District
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: is the number one thing people ask me about. I'm like,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: never as good as it was there. It's a memory.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Never as good as that one was. This one would
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: make a ton of memories in that state.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: And the thing is, people want to do something that
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: everyone else is doing, right? You want to be where
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: it becomes a cool thing to do. It becomes this
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: thing where everyone was doing. That's why the Deer District
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: started to become a bigger and bigger thing because everyone
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: else is doing it. Everyone's having fun. Young people were
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: having fun going there. Can you kind of recapture that?
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: The weather's a little different, but last night reminded me
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: of when the Brewers used to have the Arctic tailgate.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: I remember going to that years ago, and it was freezing,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: and people would go line up to get tickets and
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: have fun and get a free brat. I just think
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: we like doing stuff like that, so I think it's
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: a good idea to try it.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Maybe it won't hit.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Right away, but it eventually will build momentum.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: That Arctic tailgate, Drew, is the one that I think
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: of in my mind the most of the difference between
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: opening day 15 years ago and where it is now
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: yeah that arctic tailgate like it was to get people
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: excited it was to drum things up it was to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: make sure that you got your opening day tickets because
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: if you didn't get them there you were not going
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: now uh that is not nearly the kind of spectacle
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: it is opening.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Day lost his luster the kids don't go there and
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: drink anymore they ditched our tradition.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Did the playoffs also do something to it Like, opening
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: day was the best game for a long time. That's true.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: It was the highlight of the season. It was the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: highlight of the season.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Now people are like, yeah, if I've got to spend
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: $ 100 for.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: This game, I might as well wait, and then I
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: can maybe get something at the lowest level. Go see
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: them play the Cubs in June or something.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I can hold that thing off and get one of
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: these bigger games. That's right.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: So here I am suggesting how they run their business.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: They're doing a good job of it. But I think
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: opening the ballpark up for those road games would be cool.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Don't have to do it for all of them, but maybe...
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: special or potential clinchers or something. And then you got
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to build it and you got to do it at
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: a point. And then if they do were to play
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: a road game in the World Series, where would you
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: rather be than American Family Field? If you can't be
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: at the game on the road, you want to be
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: at American Family Field.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: The tough one is, Drew, you hit it on the head.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: They're going to take, Bath might be a little dramatic
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: right out of the gates. It's probably going to lose
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: right out of the gate. It's going to lose money.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: It's going to lose money in the first couple of days.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: When do you gouge?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Well, you're going to sell merch. You're going to sell,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: you do pop-ups. You're going to sell some concessions. Do
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: you charge people for parking? Do you charge people to
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: get in? Do you have five bucks to get in
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: for Brewers Charities or whatever? It's something like that, yeah.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Do you let them park for free and then five
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: bucks to get in?
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I think it was ten for the bucks. And sit
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: where you want and just, you know. It was ten
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: for the bucks to FI surf? I think so.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: At the finals in game one. And what would you
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: say the crowd was there?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: At least half. At least halfway full? I would say
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: lower bowl. It was fun. Yeah, lower bowl. Maybe even more.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: That's what you'd be looking at.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: You also have one of the best screens in the city, too.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: The best TV to watch the game would be standing
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: right there in center field at AmFam.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: It'd be one thing if you had.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: The older scoreboard, maybe, where it was half the size,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: but you've got that big screen now.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, everyone can see it. You wouldn't be in
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the bleachers, obviously. That's right. No, but you could be
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: still getting some heavenly roasted nuts. Gotta get those nuts.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Big time.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: You tell me people don't want to go get some
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: concessions and play at the.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: And I get it because when you don't know when
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: you're going to play, it's hard to schedule out and
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: get your ushers and stuff. It'd be hard logistically, I
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: get it, but other teams do it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Well, you have to sign up for potential games. That's
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: a true one, too. I think also the start times
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: might be... That's a little iffy as well.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Iffy. I'm going to turn it around on a positive.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: But if you're going to do stuff on the plaza,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: you've got to staff that too. You've got to staff
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: that too.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: They were running. They were working. If it's a 5
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: o'clock start, that might even be better for Wisconsinites. We
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: know how much we like happy hours maybe a tick more.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: That's true. It's an early rise in city, early rise
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: in town. So you grab us a 5.30 start in L.A.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: for game three, fill that place up with 25,000. When
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: you start celebrating a 2-1 series lead because you win
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that game, oh my goodness, it's a different story. At
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: that stadium, we've hosted make-up games before. Obviously, the flood games.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: We've hosted make-up games.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: People will go there, do the wave for $ 5, $ 10.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: That's true. There is some precedent. Would you be okay
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: with the wave at this one? Yeah, because it's like,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: you know, there's not an actual game. You wouldn't judge
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: anybody for doing the wave and having fun at this one?
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I can't guarantee I won't judge people, but I'm not
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: going to make as big a stink about it as
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I would normally.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Time for a little Who's Hot, Who's Not brought to
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: us by Donovan Jorgensen, heating and cooling the HVAC experts
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: in our area.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Who's hot, who's not? Packers injury report, not hot. Not hot.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Not hot. Not hot Jackson Dart, man. Yesterday, it sounded
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: like he was going to be out for about four
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: to six weeks. Then into the afternoon, different tests showed
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the Giants quarterback might be looking at, as they said,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a much more severe injury than initially anticipated and expected.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: He might be out for the year there in New York.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Talk about getting slow rolled. I mean, Giants fans thought
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: they were kind of out of the woods. And then
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: the next thing they go, no, it's actually that bad.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: They went from having to take this young man's helmet
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and jersey to keep him from going back into the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: game with torn ligaments in his knee.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: And instead, you get carted off for other things. Chris,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Brooks running back for the Carolina Panthers is going
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: to be out for at least six weeks with surgery.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: That is not hot. Hot. The Tampa Bay Rays, they
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: got to celebrate in the Yankees clubhouse last night. And
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I think maybe the best part of this is they
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: were playing a double header. They needed one on their
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: magic number. Drew, they lost game two, or game one
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: to nothing. I'm not going to say that the Rays
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: were happy with that result. But with Drew Rasmussen on
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the bump coming up in game two, knowing that you're
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: going to have a long, still have to play the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: game later that night. You still have to get dressed
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: in that same clubhouse. maybe you could see that the Rays'
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: motivation was a little bit different in their 6-1 victory
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: in game number two. A little bit. It was a
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: little bit hotter, and they were a little bit more
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: excited to celebrate there.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Cincinnati Reds might not be hot all year, but they
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: were hot last night as they.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Get the victory for the crew. 4-0 win as they
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: beat the Atlanta Braves and book the Brewers in for
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a first round by Ellie De La Cruz.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Two hits and a homer in that game. He has
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: been hot. You look at Ellie De La Cruz's numbers
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: over the last two months. He has been rolling power-wise consistently.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Has been phenomenal. Month of September. Ellie De La Cruz.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Slashing 406. 494. With a slugging percentage of 826. Really good.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: He's fulfilling that potential they saw in him.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: He's got eight homers and five doubles on 28 hits
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: in the month. And has driven in 16. He's also
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: walked 12 times. Struck out 22. Pretty game. Good run.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: The Reds try to make that move. And he said,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I have higher aspirations than playing for the Reds.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Something like that. They tried to give him a 10-year deal.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: He turned it down. He said, no, thank you. He
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: has higher aspirations than playing for the Reds.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Ouch. Ouch.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Emotional damage. Emotional damage. Cincinnati fan. And last one, who's
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: not hot? Sean Payton. Not for anything about the Denver Broncos.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: This is good. Mike McDonald, head coach of the Seattle Seahawks,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: says that the Broncos wrongly accused Seattle of cheating in
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: their preparation for the 2024 season opener. Sean Payton ultimately
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: backed off the Seahawks, threatening a lawsuit if Denver went
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: public with the allegation.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: According to McDonald, the saga came to light. The clip
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: surfaced on Tuesday night.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: McDonald recently published in an episode of his The Sweet
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: podcast that this guy Graham Benzinger... He's getting some amazing reviews.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: He gets everybody.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Everybody.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: He gets everybody and everybody... seemingly like how Taylor Rooks
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and Kay Adams generally get the best answers out of players.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: He seems to get it by asking the question slowly
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: like this and stopping.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Really deliberate hold and wait. He said, we were in
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the middle. We were in a fight in our first year.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: There was a lot going on. So he called John,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: basically threatened to come out publicly and do a whole
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Patriots Spygate type thing. Sean Payton. No one's got to
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: cheat against you, brother. No one's got to cheat against you.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It's okay. Calm down. Not everybody's out to freaking get you,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Sean Payton. I've never heard of somebody more worried and frustrated.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Al Davis!
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: He's the NFL version of Al Davis now that the
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: whole league is out to get you, Sean.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, that is exactly why you haven't won another Super Bowl.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: That's why. There you go. Who's hot, who's not?
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Donovan Jorgensen. DonovanJorgensen.com.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Employee owned since 1985. 0% financing up to 60 months
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: on select systems. Going on right now. DonovanJorgensen.com. Right now.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Place to go. All right.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: When we come back, I've got a candidate in mind
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: for our current electric superhero of the day.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Take your thoughts. What should the Brewers do?
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: They want to create this, and I get it. They're
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: putting money into this plaza, and it's going to be cool,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: but I see that as a regular season stop.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Postseason, different. Feels like a great thing for the middle
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: of July. Not as much in the middle of October.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: So much. Cold beer works out well. Yeah. It's unseasonably chilly.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I would like it maybe if they fired up some
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: of Armin's chili in there. Then maybe the party really
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: would fire up. Would be a great place for, they
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: had a couple of food trucks there.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, that Red Tacos place is unbelievable.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: You needed something warm because it was cold, man. I
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: I know people like fall, but it's depressing for me.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: When that weather starts to hit and I'm like, oh,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: summer's over. Sorry, I just, it was a bummer. I
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: was in a bad mood when I felt that weather.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I believe it. I like taking my walks with the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: warm weather. How many walks did you actually take this year? No,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I tried as much as I could.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: The schedule does affect things that we're on, but I
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: tried as much as I could to take some. Even
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: if it was just around the block, you know. You
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: got to get out there and breathe some fresh air.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: But now but now that brisk wind is blowing through
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: a man.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: It's impressive.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: That's what I did. Okay. You got the first guy
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: to think of that, William.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Cause it's an easy fix. It's the easiest thing.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: You throw a sweatshirt on, you actually sweat more, you
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: get more out of the workout, it's better for you.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know that you get more out of it,
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: but you do keep yourself warm, yes. You sweat more,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: you burn more calories.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: There you go. You get more out of it. Is
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: that true? I don't know.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Our current electric superhero of the day got some candidates
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: for you. Call Current.com, the website, superheroes on the side
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: of the van and inside, helping you keep your family
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: safe and keep your electricity going.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: They were in my neighborhood yesterday.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah?
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh. Did the boys see the superheroes? He goes, Daddy,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: look at that. That's what I'm talking about, buddy. That's
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: an actual superhero. Spider-Man on your shirt, not the one.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: You see the logo? It's fun. Those are cool cars.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: The logo's cool.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I would single out Jordan Love for his Hands of
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Love Foundation donation to support rebuilding efforts in Menasha.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you went there.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: 45K. Yes.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: And, Drew, it's always my favorite conversation when somebody who
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: has the funds and has the means does give back
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and donate. There's immediately clapback of either, why was it
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: not more? Or it was a tax write-off and why
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: is it now? Why do we have to know about it?
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: All three of those answers can be summed up in
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: one beautiful thing. Just not doing it. Sweet! I don't
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: have to answer any of your dumb questions by just
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: ignoring it and letting the team give out the money.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: $ 45, 000 to those that desperately need it. I'm right there
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: with you. That is a very, very big win. And also,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I imagine maybe you got.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Tugged at the heartstrings a little bit more, and it
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: probably became even more real when those Menasheb guys came up,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the football team, went to practice on that Sunday and
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: got to hang out with Watson and Love after practice.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: A cool moment.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Jordan Love donated some of it is earmarked
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: to replace playground equipment and stuff, which is cool.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: It's like looking out for kids.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Puts out what and where it can go to and
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: who it can benefit. You're right, but then it's like, well,
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: why didn't he give out? He's got all the money.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: It's just a tax write-off.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Big deal. He's doing it for PR. Well, shut up.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: How much did you give? How much did you give?
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: And guess what? Again, it's very easy to just do
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: what a... Don't do nothing. Don't do nothing. Do nothing
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and let the... I say, well, the organization did, and
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I'm very, very happy to be a part of it,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: and I really appreciate that.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: They look out for the people of Wisconsin and the fans.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: And then the conversation's over. So that is a winner,
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: no doubt about it.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I have one other decent one here that came to
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: us from Fox 6. You guys know Keith Tozer? Former
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Wave coach.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Legend.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Legend. He survived cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest. Wow. Has a
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: beautiful piece beyond the game that our friend TVV, Tim
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Van Voren, did at Fox 6, talking about Keith Tozer's
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: new tattoo that he's got and the battle that he
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: had gone through health-wise. Keith Tozer is one of the
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: nicest human beings in the world. He is absolutely. I'm
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: going to toast forever. One of the nicest human beings
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: in the world.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: And.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Also one of the winningest individuals in the world. So, hey, man,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: shout out Keith Tozer. Tried to potentially teach this pear-shaped
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: individual how to kick the soccer ball correctly at one
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: of those wave camps. It's a camp, yeah.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Was not figuring it out. I was not figuring it out,
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: to Keith's perspective.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: But he tried. He tried and then decided, okay, these
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: are actual soccer players. I'm going to go work with
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: these kids. One of the absolute greatest dudes, and happy
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: to hear that he's doing much better now. That's fantastic news. Yeah, absolutely.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: He had a heart attack at Boston Logan Airport.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: My goodness.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: My goodness.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Wow. Was this recent, or it was? November 12th. November 12th.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I guess you could say that you're very fortunate for
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: where it happens right there. Yeah, that's a good point.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: He was at the top of an escalator, and he
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: remembers nothing until waking up in the hospital as he's
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: being given last rites and wheeled towards surgery.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: But a SUNY upstate medical student, Anne-Marie Marquis, performed CPR
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: and saved his life.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Just incredible. Incredible. What a story. And you're right, Billy.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: You're there.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: A lot of people are there, first responders. A lot
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: of different walks of life at the airport. You found
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: someone that, there you go, medical student.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: He started compression. I had someone go get one of
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: those AED devices.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: She saved his life. And a shout out to the,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: the training that you go through for these, those AED devices.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Cause every, you know, coach in high school and youth sports,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: we'll do it every other year. And there's a lot
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: of times that you think like, okay, well, what am
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I doing? If you don't focus on it, it'll be
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the one time that you do desperately need it. That
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden you start freaking out. So to
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: be calm, cool, and collected in that moment, big, big time,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: big time.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: So shout out Keith Tozer. Anytime that we can mention
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Keith Tozer, I'm going to be happy. And to celebrate
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: that is phenomenal.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: So much charitable work in the community.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: And he's a great dude to hang with. He's got
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: great stories because he was coaching the LA Lasers indoor team.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: He hung out with Dr. Buss and Jeannie Buss. He
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: had offices with the Lakers. Yeah, Lakers.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: And then when Gretzky was there, he was in the
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: forum for all of that. He had a front row
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: seat for the Mecca.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Now, Drew, you're in the conversations. You contribute to the conversations.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Every once in a while, I'm in one of those
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: spots and I'm sitting around and there's the cans being
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: held and stories like the one that you just mentioned
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: of Keith Tozer is being told. And you look around
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: and you're like, I got nothing to contribute to this.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: except the laughs because this is way too good. There
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: are some phenomenal ones that he can fire out. He
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: has got some great ones. You sit back, he just
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: never wanted to end.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: He was the mainstay of a team that was the
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: mainstay of indoor soccer for years and still is, the
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Milwaukee Wave.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: He was coming back from a futsal clinic, coach's certification
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: clinic when he had the heart attack.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: It's just wild. Wow.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: And like, if you're looking for those signs, like the
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: woman who saved him, the medical student was named Anne
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Marie and he has a, his grandmothers are named Anne
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: and Marie.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Sometimes that makes you want to think. Yeah. Oh man.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: That is incredible stuff. Guardian angels. Guardian angels.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yeah.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Indeed. Indeed.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Great. Great to hear he's doing well and he's okay. Uh,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: let me get some, uh, Some messages in here. Got
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: a lot of stuff on YouTube and then text line.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: My computer's frozen, so I can't get the text line.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's not what I like to hear. No, that's okay.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: We're fighting through it back here. Stall Rev, morning for
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Northeast Texas where it's 98 degrees. No need for me
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: to have sweat gear. Well, I guess so. I should ask,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: be careful what I wish for. If I don't want
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: the cooler weather, I definitely don't want.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: 98 degrees either.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: And he said, these guys are always getting it up
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: for donations.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: We should be happy they give. By the way. To
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: circle back to the Tozer thing. Yes.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Our buddy Mike Heller had a cardiac episode.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, he did.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: And Tozer's like as fit as it comes. He still
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: looks like he could play.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Correct, Drew. Very important to say. And that's the thing.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: It's like that's why you got to go to the
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: doctor every year, folks.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: And he had– it wasn't like not working out or anything.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: He had like a hereditary heart condition that he inherited,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: like a mitral valve prolapse or something like that. So
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of people have those. There's stuff in my
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: family that I got to be nervous about. You just
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: have to monitor it, man, especially in this age.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Dude, and Drew, I'm glad you said it because I've
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: been probably the worst at it. I didn't even know
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the login to the MyChart thing.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: You start learning a lot. Some friends of yours have
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: situations that very, very quickly take them from you. And
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: just understanding what's going on in your body, what has
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: been going on in your family's history is so important.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a huge one to have because we always
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: hear about it when it's too late of the early detection,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: but then it's before anything actually happens. You do have
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to be proactive with it. It's important stuff.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: You might save yourself by doing it. It's good to
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: be an active member of your own health like that.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Cardiac issues and colonoscopies, man. Just get your checkups.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Go to the doctor. Yeah, the colonoscopy one is huge now. Huge.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: It is huge. especially for younger guys. It is the earlier,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the better to get the first one. Cause then you're,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: then you're in the system and then you establish care
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and you establish the care in the system. And then
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: they're going to call you every couple of years and
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: then you're going to remember to do it. And then,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, maybe take a day off
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and get a, get a good clean out. There you go.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: You get a text alert. Probably people say you need
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to diet. You're like, no, I just need to go
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: in and get checked. Absolutely. Seven pounds down, right out
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: of the gates. Let's go.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: And then you get pizza after. Or burgers. Whichever one
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: you want.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, either.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Steak, whatever you choose. Love it. It's only rocks. Leagues
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: and stuff in the background. It's such a cool place
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: to watch a game. It definitely rocks.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: You know what else rocks? Iron jock gear. Check it out.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Paulie Hanson. Huddle 35 gets you 35% off all the
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: gear with a $ 50 purchase. Check it out at ironjoc.com.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Shout out to Paulie Hanson. Thinking of us, huddle 35.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Indeed.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Great time. Huddled up. Brewers also got to get a
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: win here. They got to get back to 40 games
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: over 500. This is a little ridiculous. What's going on
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: with this team?
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: They're collapsing.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Got to get to 100. 40 over.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Now, would it be a disappointment at this point if
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: they didn't get the old 100 and.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: They sputtered to the finish? Yeah, considering they got to go, what,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: two and three? I think some people would be disappointed.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to say it'd be crestfallen, but you
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: do kind of just expect it to happen. Then again,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: last night in like the I call it the Tinker Bowl.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: They're just tinkering around now with different guys and trying
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: to see what works. Obviously, they still almost won. They
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: still came back on Zach Wheeler and tied it up.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: They still had a rally going in the ninth. That's
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: what's amazing about this team. Even when they throw Colton
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Gordon out there, who sounds like a country singer, they
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: still only... crushed and almost won. To me, what's most
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: impressive about this team is that even the ninth, I'm
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: not saying try to lose, but They know that the
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: goals are different for that night, maybe. Let's put it
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: that way. They still almost win those games. But it'd
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: be nice to see because the Phillies, they're magic numbers, too.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: So they're going to be super motivated, fired up to
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: try and get a celebration started. So it won't be
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: easy to win one of these games here while they're
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: trying to clinch.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: It would be nice to get a win, though. You're right, Bill.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: You've got to right the ship. We've got to figure
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: this out. We've got to right the ship. I like
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: seeing Contreras with the big hit and obviously the sack
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: fly last night. Not that people are worried about Wild
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Bill once the playoffs come. Maybe a little bit of
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: a showman. Lights come on. Might show off a little
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: bit better. Last 15 days, OPS is over 1,000. Month
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: of September, OPS is over 900. With the highest slugging
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: percentage that he's had this year by far, by over
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: almost 100 points. Him swinging the best version of his bat. Again,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: you go back to the deadline and I saw this
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: last night with Dustin May being the big-time acquisition. We
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: can only get a couple innings out of them, and
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. What are we doing here? We needed
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: more offense. The best offense that they were going to
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: get in the stretch run was going to be their
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: offensive players playing better. And I think in September, as
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: much as they've kind of run away and hid with
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: this thing, one of the deals that's flown a little
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: bit under the radar is Yelich, albeit on this last trip,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: not necessarily hitting the best. I think it's like two
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: for 21 maybe on this trip. Contreras getting hot. Churrio
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: has been a lightning rod in the box. And don't
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: look now. Bryce Terang has been in and out of
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the mayor of slum city chair for a while, Drew.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: It feels like he has left that key in the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: office and shut the door. Here's the thing.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: With the time off the Brewers are going to have,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: if you're hot going in, does it matter if you
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: come back?
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: If you're open for in the first game, Back.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: In game one.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: We've been looking for data points for a long time.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: It's a little bit like the end of spring training.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: A lot of guys say, I don't want to waste
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: my bullets now. But you also want to beat You
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: want to be doing your normal stuff, right?
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: You don't want to be trying anything. You don't want
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: to be slumping.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: You don't want to be like scorching hot because then
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: you might be worried about going cold.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: It's like, just do what you do. Luckily, Jake Bowers
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: had quelled that worry for me. All right. He came
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: out as the hottest hitter in the Arizona complex and
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: then came out and was their best offensive player. So
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: he's like the complete opposite of a Brad Nelson, right? Totally.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Did not catch the over 20 bug as he got
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: up to the big leagues.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Did not.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: But the highway is littered with guys who were stars
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: in the Cactus League and then crashed back to Earth.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: So speaking of what we wonder what the Brewers are
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: going to do with the playoffs on the plaza and
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: the viewing parties, you think they do the cool little
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: game with the fans in the stands coming up or
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: they just do the intense workouts like they did last year?
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Hard to say their plan for the week off last
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: year didn't work.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. I wonder how Murph will do it.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Murph wasn't thrilled with that, I don't think.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think he loved the idea.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: I know Seattle had like 35,000 that were there for
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: a game.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how you do that. Maybe it
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: is better, as long as you know that nobody's going
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: to take one off the hand on some live BP.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: But it's a hell of a balancing act. You have
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: to see live pitching in that week. You can't go
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: five days without seeing live pitching. And then the most
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: important at-bat of the season is coming up there against
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: maybe Christopher Sanchez. or a Matthew Boyd if it's the Cubs,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: or insert whoever you want for the Padres. They've got
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: a nice rotation there. It could be Michael King. It
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: could be anybody else. You don't want that to be
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: your first taste of live pitching in a week, but
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: hard to be able to figure out how you actually
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: simulate it. That's the thing. Everyone tries to strike that balance.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Everyone struggles to do it, to find a trend, to
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: try and take advantage of it, and it's hard to
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: do that in these situations.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: To the point and pull back a little bit, if
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: you're going to let people in to watch a workout,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Why not let them in to watch a game on
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: TV when the team's on the road?
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: What are we doing here? Again, just an easy way
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: of carving out some chance for you to make some
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: more money. I know that we're running a business here.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: It comes with expenses.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: It comes with expenses. You've got to pay ushers, parking
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: lot attendants. You've got to pay security.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Especially if you've got $ 5 cans of ice-cold Miller Lite
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: like you did last night. People are trying to have
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: a legendary night with a light. Giddy up. You fire
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: them things up, it's going to work. It's going to
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: work out well. I don't know. 50-50 raffle? Because if
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: you're going to open it up, you might as well
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: make some money. Might as well gamble, right? Might as
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: well have a couple in there. How about a couple
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: of nice little comments here that we've gotten here? Who
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: wins a chili cook-off, Billy and Armin? We already know
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: the answer to that one, Mike Witt. It's me. Yeah,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Billy's got the smoker advantage. Drew, Billy, and Armin, heroes
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: for getting up so early, keeping us informed, rain, snow,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: or shine.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Appreciate that, but we are indoors, so don't give us
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: too much credit.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm talking about. We do appreciate that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Mike, I don't want to end it this way, but
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: he asks, who has the worst September Packers all-liner, Kyle Harrison?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Come on, why'd you have to do that? Kyle Harrison's
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: September might be over. The Packers' offensive line is not.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: They still got one more. That is a good point.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Does he get another opportunity? Is he ready-set Cabo or
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: ready-set Complex League?
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: He'll pitch again before the end of the season. This week,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: he'll pitch again. Maybe they're just putting stuff in the
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: tank for next year. By the way, the name that
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I hadn't heard, Quinn Priester on the road with the Brewers.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been hanging out with that sweet hoodie. He's
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: been getting the hoodie.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Quinn Priester back around. First time he's been around all year.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Good for him.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: He was going to talk to Wheeler about the thoracic outlets.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Syndrome surgery and stuff. Do you think he was a
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: little disappointed he didn't get to party with the boys
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: on the celebration? Or he's like, I'll just leave that one.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I'll get the one next year. Yeah, maybe. He'll be
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: around for the rest of them. That's true. He'll be
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: there for the playoff ones. He'll get there for the
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: good ones. Won't mind cashing that playoff check share. No,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: he'll get one. He'll get a share. He'll get a share.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: All right, so tomorrow it's a game day edition. We'll
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: be talking Packers-Falcons. Today's a walkthrough day. There's no media access.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: No nothing, really. Not a thing, no, and it probably
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: slows down Micah Parsons' return, but we'll be hot coming
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: out on the line tomorrow at 6.50. We'll see you
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: tomorrow at 5.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Peace!
