Speaker 6: all the way you had yesterday, Sweat all that out
3:06
Speaker 6: before you can really layer it in for the weekend.
3:09
Speaker 3: I like that about it. So last night was one
3:12
Speaker 3: of those days like no brewers, no bucks, no tournament,
3:16
Speaker 3: a lot of looking at each other's hand. Honestly, again,
3:19
Speaker 3: I flashed back to Ray Lioda and the last shot
3:22
Speaker 3: of Goodfellas in his bathrobe going to get the paper
3:25
Speaker 3: and some sunny prefab subdivision living like a schnook schnook.
3:32
Speaker 7: However, we did get a little bit of a show
3:33
Speaker 7: if you were in certain areas with the weather last year, Yeah.
3:37
Speaker 3: Was it severe storm storm damage. My damage this morning
3:44
Speaker 3: was I came in hot today, got up in plenty
3:46
Speaker 3: of time, and good came in hot because of construction season,
3:51
Speaker 3: like orange barrels rolling through hot. I mean, I know
3:54
Speaker 3: what's doing in the morning, but what's the ninety four
3:58
Speaker 3: project is going to be the bang of our society
4:01
Speaker 3: here locally in Milwaukee. Folks in Madison, you can bitch
4:04
Speaker 3: about the belt line and when we're paying construction and
4:07
Speaker 3: it's orange barrel season, we know, we know you got
4:10
Speaker 3: problems up in Barboo. And it's a cliche. Yeah, but
4:14
Speaker 3: this morning I thought, and I had seen some advisories.
4:17
Speaker 3: They flashed these the little mini scoreboards, little high school
4:20
Speaker 3: message sports and we're all totally reading those Every TI
4:23
Speaker 3: ramp is going to be closed Thursday from five a
4:26
Speaker 3: from You know, well, you don't keep from ten pm
4:28
Speaker 3: till five am, right, you don't keep a notes app
4:31
Speaker 3: or you don't put it right now. I didn't put
4:32
Speaker 3: that in there. But then I'm proceeding to drive on
4:35
Speaker 3: my normal route and I see that it's open and
4:37
Speaker 3: it's available, like, oh, they must have finished early, or
4:39
Speaker 3: they didn't do anything because of the weather, which I
4:41
Speaker 3: would make sense, all right, whatever, And then I rolled
4:44
Speaker 3: through and it's funneling down to one lane near like
4:48
Speaker 3: even about a mile in front of the ballpark. And
4:52
Speaker 3: then they made us exit and get off on uh
4:56
Speaker 3: would be one seventy five that way, Yeah, the Brewers Boulevard.
5:01
Speaker 3: You couldn't get this. You had to go north. Rewrote
5:03
Speaker 3: it that way, and then drive on the city streets
5:05
Speaker 3: all the way up to eighty fourth Street and duck
5:07
Speaker 3: that thing back back into and it was like, what
5:10
Speaker 3: are we even doing? I remember the I forty three.
5:13
Speaker 3: I always joked with my friends who live in the
5:15
Speaker 3: north shore of Milwaukee. Forty three is the North South Corridor,
5:18
Speaker 3: especially if you go north of Milwaukee. That's the way
5:21
Speaker 3: we go to Lambeau yep, all the time.
5:22
Speaker 6: That's also how I've tried to explain it to my
5:24
Speaker 6: wife nine thousand times. But they just say that one,
5:27
Speaker 6: that one, and then that one, like they did a
5:29
Speaker 6: year's long construction project on that and it has not
5:32
Speaker 6: appreciably improved anything.
5:35
Speaker 3: It's like, didn't we learn have we learned anything from
5:38
Speaker 3: Los Angeles? Like if you can build eight lanes on
5:40
Speaker 3: a super highway and you're just gonna have eight choked
5:42
Speaker 3: lanes and traffic and people still driving like Jack Waffles,
5:45
Speaker 3: and it's still gonna suck. So what are we even
5:48
Speaker 3: doing this? Gad jillions of billions of dollars that we're
5:51
Speaker 3: pouring into this thing in maybe in an era where
5:54
Speaker 3: hopefully maybe in two years we'll have flying cars or
5:56
Speaker 3: we'll have some promised you're supposed to happen by twenty
5:59
Speaker 3: twenty seven, those things. It's just the worst. And if
6:02
Speaker 3: the summer is here and people are gonna be moving around,
6:05
Speaker 3: and god knows, the Brewers are doing what they can
6:08
Speaker 3: to show a Yuker movie and have postgame constit to
6:12
Speaker 3: kind of like trickle the crowd out.
6:14
Speaker 6: I keep those twelve forty day games starts rolling, because
6:17
Speaker 6: that's gonna be hellish there around four o'clock, avoid.
6:20
Speaker 3: The rush hour. It's just it's not gonna help anything.
6:23
Speaker 3: It's just a waste of time and money. We should
6:25
Speaker 3: have thought something better.
6:26
Speaker 7: Well, it is one thing we can call you night
6:27
Speaker 7: over usually is complaining about construction planning.
6:30
Speaker 3: The one thing we can that over is urban planning.
6:32
Speaker 7: I mean that is what you just said is interesting, Drew,
6:34
Speaker 7: because I know there are people that that shout.
6:37
Speaker 3: The other way.
6:37
Speaker 7: They're like, oh, we need to have more than then
6:39
Speaker 7: they argue about tearing down seven ninety four. That's a
6:42
Speaker 7: constant argument as well about if we should have that
6:45
Speaker 7: or not. But you're right, they always say, like you
6:47
Speaker 7: end up filling the closets you you are given. So
6:50
Speaker 7: it's like a human nature. So if you have an
6:52
Speaker 7: extra lane, that's where it will get filled. I know
6:54
Speaker 7: what you mean on that, that's right.
6:55
Speaker 3: So yeah, move from an apartment to a house and
6:58
Speaker 3: you say, look at all the storage I have, but
7:00
Speaker 3: look how fast it fills up with crap. Right, Yeah,
7:03
Speaker 3: it's a good entire base.
7:05
Speaker 7: And we're kind of like as the reality of as
7:07
Speaker 7: as humans. But hey, all we can do is you
7:10
Speaker 7: got to try and make the best of it, right.
7:11
Speaker 7: I know no one wants to hear that sometimes, but
7:13
Speaker 7: this is traffic, the construction, it's here to stay, so
7:16
Speaker 7: job if there.
7:17
Speaker 3: Really won't be there.
7:18
Speaker 6: Much more that frustrates you than realizing that they got
7:22
Speaker 6: you again and that's that.
7:23
Speaker 3: Your spot is going to be closed up.
7:25
Speaker 6: Because it happened to me on Tuesday night, Monday night
7:27
Speaker 6: coming back from the Brewers game, sure where I got
7:29
Speaker 6: re routed up to seven ninety four or one seventy five,
7:32
Speaker 6: and I'm.
7:32
Speaker 3: Like, you know what, that's it.
7:34
Speaker 6: I'm gonna drive downtown, get a little view of the
7:37
Speaker 6: city city, and then just roll back through over by
7:40
Speaker 6: the airport. And instead that was also closed off on
7:42
Speaker 6: both sides. So if we have two different entry ways
7:46
Speaker 6: back into the burbs that get cut off, that's gonna
7:48
Speaker 6: be a big problem for us rolling forward. However, the
7:52
Speaker 6: mini scoreboards on the side, I like when those are
7:55
Speaker 6: just flashing motivational speeches.
7:58
Speaker 7: See that's funny when they do more than the ramp
8:00
Speaker 7: was writing up those little jokes and stuff like that.
8:02
Speaker 7: It's like, you know, don't get caught looking down your
8:05
Speaker 7: your life and don't look at your brackets. It's like
8:07
Speaker 7: in March they have one like that, or they have
8:09
Speaker 7: little jokes and stuff.
8:10
Speaker 6: Like that, and like I appreciate the dad joke on
8:12
Speaker 6: there are a lot more than ramp gonna be closed for
8:14
Speaker 6: the next seven weeks.
8:15
Speaker 7: It lets me know, dude, there's somebody out there with
8:17
Speaker 7: that job. Like even though Wisconsin dot needs someone out
8:20
Speaker 7: there with some creative you know, one liners. You know,
8:22
Speaker 7: maybe that what maybe one day there's a job gonna
8:24
Speaker 7: be like you know what, everyone needs something like that.
8:26
Speaker 3: But you just got to try to make the job exactly.
8:29
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Make the best of it.
8:31
Speaker 7: It's your own little you know, it's your own little
8:32
Speaker 7: Mario kart track. Yeah, so you can drive.
8:36
Speaker 3: Commending this season. So we're not bitching about the weather,
8:39
Speaker 3: bitching about traffic. Welcome to old guy Radio. But it's
8:41
Speaker 3: just just brutal. Just relate though.
8:44
Speaker 6: But you know what, Luckily we're up here at five
8:47
Speaker 6: am that now you have so much more of the
8:49
Speaker 6: day for all to get better, that's true, and for
8:52
Speaker 6: them to not have it closed off when you drive home.
8:55
Speaker 3: And we've got some Brewers reports from Hunter Bomber today,
8:57
Speaker 3: including an interview with Tricia Whitaker, who going to be
9:00
Speaker 3: hosting the Apple TV. She's working the sidelines Apple TV
9:03
Speaker 3: tonight Brewers Royals at Kaufman Stadium.
9:06
Speaker 6: The Trisha Whitaker interview will be the one time that
9:09
Speaker 6: Janny and Appleton told me that there's also a way
9:11
Speaker 6: that the people that gripe about Apple TV.
9:13
Speaker 3: She goes, I don't know why you're upset.
9:14
Speaker 6: I don't know why if set easiest interface to get
9:16
Speaker 6: Lane and Jeff on the radio call as well on
9:19
Speaker 6: the Apple Tree. The same with Brewers TV now. But
9:22
Speaker 6: I'm not tapping off of Rock and Jeff like that's
9:24
Speaker 6: the one thing. But every once in a while, you're like,
9:26
Speaker 6: you know what, home running, I gotta go see what's happening.
9:29
Speaker 3: That is the tough thing about it.
9:31
Speaker 7: Although I'm waiting for the first time, and maybe I
9:33
Speaker 7: just haven't figured it out yet how to do it,
9:34
Speaker 7: because I'm sure there's someone smarter.
9:35
Speaker 3: Than me that has already.
9:36
Speaker 7: But once upon a time I found on YouTube somebody
9:39
Speaker 7: that overlaid the last inning of the Easter Sunday Dale
9:44
Speaker 7: Swam Game Rob dear Dale Swam Game, the Uker audio,
9:47
Speaker 7: the radio and the TV call. They overlaid both, which
9:50
Speaker 7: was a pretty cool thing to sound. So somewhere there's
9:51
Speaker 7: gonna be someone someday that's going to overlay the TV
9:54
Speaker 7: and radio audio at the same How.
9:55
Speaker 3: Many times have you touched yourself into bed with that?
9:58
Speaker 3: Absolutely just absolutely fall asleep to that.
10:00
Speaker 7: You know, it's it's just the most soothing, soothing thing, Billy,
10:05
Speaker 7: it is When are when?
10:08
Speaker 3: Then? Miller Park was still just a conception. It was
10:12
Speaker 3: still a blueprint. It was a dream flint in the
10:15
Speaker 3: eye of misters dream. When they were designing it, our
10:17
Speaker 3: pal l half Ed John Greenberg, president of Milwaukee Admirals,
10:20
Speaker 3: was media relations director of the Brewers, and he was
10:22
Speaker 3: tasked with, all right, what you know, what do you
10:25
Speaker 3: want in the press box? What do you want the
10:26
Speaker 3: press up box to be like? And he helped design that.
10:29
Speaker 3: You know, offices behind there, this here, dining over here.
10:32
Speaker 3: That's pretty smooth, sweet and one of the things he wanted.
10:35
Speaker 3: And it's like when you're building a house. You know this,
10:37
Speaker 3: if you ever build a house, you have to pick
10:39
Speaker 3: all right, now, we have every decision like the backsplash,
10:42
Speaker 3: the countertops and this and that and the tile and
10:45
Speaker 3: the light fixtures and all the stuff that you have everything,
10:48
Speaker 3: so he had to kind of he was in charge
10:50
Speaker 3: of that, shepherd that. And one of the things on
10:52
Speaker 3: his wish list that he wanted was a little console
10:55
Speaker 3: kind of like what we have here on our little
10:58
Speaker 3: desks here with the cough button and the on button
11:00
Speaker 3: and then the off button, and in some studios they
11:02
Speaker 3: have a talkback button. Not our self, but he wanted
11:06
Speaker 3: a little console like this at every stand with little
11:10
Speaker 3: uh jacks so that you could listen to Home or
11:14
Speaker 3: Away TV and Home or Away rady. He was ahead
11:18
Speaker 3: of his time, and they nixed that for cost. It
11:21
Speaker 3: was one of the first things to hit the cutting
11:22
Speaker 3: room floors, like, oh, that's going to be too expensive
11:24
Speaker 3: to wire up. What else? Instead we got we got
11:28
Speaker 3: the gramets where you drop your cord through the countertop there.
11:33
Speaker 3: But he has his dream of having being able to
11:36
Speaker 3: listen to whatever broadcast you wanted to that was going
11:38
Speaker 3: on act. No one else has that. By the way
11:41
Speaker 3: I was going, I mean now with the this and
11:45
Speaker 3: this was kind of like pre internet and pre streaming, right,
11:47
Speaker 3: so that would be for you to be able to
11:49
Speaker 3: do that would have been incredible and it would have
11:51
Speaker 3: been that would have then become the industry standard where
11:53
Speaker 3: everybody else would have tried to do it. Those are
11:55
Speaker 3: the times when tell me if I'm wrong.
11:57
Speaker 7: But I remember my early early days as an intert
11:59
Speaker 7: getting a press grantcher for like a Bucks game, where
12:02
Speaker 7: every press roasted had a phone line or had basically
12:05
Speaker 7: a hard line for pretty much yeah yeah, hell yeah,
12:08
Speaker 7: transmitted stories and stories, or if you're doing radio, if
12:10
Speaker 7: you're doing meet I remember the phone ringing.
12:12
Speaker 3: I'd be at the old arena and like you to
12:15
Speaker 3: pick up the phone. Yeah, and it be like hard
12:17
Speaker 3: to hear it ring. Even sometimes I kind of standing
12:19
Speaker 3: when the place was rocking, the phone would ring.
12:21
Speaker 7: It'd be hard to hear it because it was, you know,
12:23
Speaker 7: so loud. Of course, as an internet didn't needed. I
12:25
Speaker 7: just thought to myself many times, I wonder if I
12:27
Speaker 7: could call home from here, Just try and call home
12:29
Speaker 7: and say, hey Mom, I'm court side.
12:30
Speaker 3: Of course I didn't do it. I didn't do it overay,
12:33
Speaker 3: you should have. You should have. It's not like they
12:34
Speaker 3: were keeping track, I know. But back then, you know,
12:36
Speaker 3: you're scared of everything.
12:37
Speaker 6: You're like, well, and your mom wouldn't have done like
12:39
Speaker 6: most people do. My age or just look at the Yeah,
12:42
Speaker 6: I don't know that I would get definitely.
12:44
Speaker 3: Turn it out. I have to call on the hard line,
12:45
Speaker 3: you know, hard to court, and I had our sure
12:47
Speaker 3: absolutely won or maybe even two phones that press box,
12:50
Speaker 3: you know, like hell, sometimes would be a wrong number,
12:52
Speaker 3: and if it was a boring game, I'd talk to
12:54
Speaker 3: the person that's hilarious. Are you trying to reach? Yeah?
12:56
Speaker 3: What are you up to you tonight? What do you
12:57
Speaker 3: got going on tonight? What are you up tonight? Am
12:59
Speaker 3: I be in prank? I'm watching the Twins? And yeah,
13:03
Speaker 3: it's got to be better than this. Let the calls
13:05
Speaker 3: you get at radio stations, you know, oh, no doubt. Yeah.
13:08
Speaker 3: When I was at the newspaper as a young cub
13:10
Speaker 3: and I was answering the phones, uh we once in
13:13
Speaker 3: a while you'd get you'd get like an operator saying
13:15
Speaker 3: collect call from Columbia Correctional facility or something that you
13:18
Speaker 3: get the prisoners call and stuff. Guys would call. It
13:21
Speaker 3: was like, you know, if I got nothing going on.
13:23
Speaker 6: That was the first piece of fan interaction that I
13:26
Speaker 6: got when I was doing my radio show in college
13:27

Speaker 3: no clue to what it would be checking out. So
14:11
Speaker 3: this is what college is like. It was a good precursor.
14:13
Speaker 3: If you have young kids, I recommend you send them
14:15
Speaker 3: to a week long sports camp out of college so
14:17
Speaker 3: that they get a feel for it. It's like living
14:18
Speaker 3: in a.
14:18
Speaker 6: Dorm one hundred percent is something you're never going to
14:21
Speaker 6: be able to recreate it.
14:22
Speaker 7: I wanted.
14:23
Speaker 3: I wandered into the basement and there was like a
14:26
Speaker 3: radio station. There was a guy that was like the
14:27
Speaker 3: old school you know, uh, he was just mixing it up.
14:31
Speaker 3: He was just playing out. I popped in and I
14:34
Speaker 3: talked to the guy for like twenty minutes, and I
14:36
Speaker 3: was talking about radio and he was, hey, what are
14:39
Speaker 3: you doing. He was like, you know, it's the campus station,
14:42
Speaker 3: and I was He was telling me what music they
14:44
Speaker 3: were playing, and then he had to take a break,
14:46
Speaker 3: and like he had to come back from break and
14:48
Speaker 3: throw to a song, and so I got to watch
14:50
Speaker 3: this guy do a little Howard Stern.
14:51
Speaker 7: Actually, that's pretty cool, tremendously and that's exciting when you're
14:54
Speaker 7: seeing it for the first time live as a young kid.
14:57
Speaker 3: This is what this is about.
14:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, And all of the cassettes, radios and different things
15:02
Speaker 6: that they had in there that you could play at
15:04
Speaker 6: one particular point in time that they still had at
15:06
Speaker 6: the radio station might have been in there that day,
15:09
Speaker 6: and that place was just littered with old.
15:11
Speaker 3: Cart stuff on the apparatus. This we used forty four years.
15:16
Speaker 7: I remember.
15:16
Speaker 3: It was kind of like before they're playing the alt
15:18
Speaker 3: college edgy that's always keys, Like this record I'm going
15:22
Speaker 3: to play next is this band called Television out of England, like,
15:25
Speaker 3: and it was like, that's kind of a hip that's
15:26
Speaker 3: actually a hip band. Now back in the day. It
15:28
Speaker 3: was kind of cutting edge. It was cool. It was
15:31
Speaker 3: one of those formative things that you know. Now, I
15:33
Speaker 3: tend to have a job in radio.
15:35
Speaker 6: And it's one of those things that you don't necessarily
15:38
Speaker 6: realize why you think back on those radio ones. But
15:40
Speaker 6: you mentioned the Greeny one. It was, uh, that was
15:44
Speaker 6: for me, the old air Tran airline. They were the
15:47
Speaker 6: first one, the only one that I remember had the
15:49
Speaker 6: serious EXTM radio in the uh in the seat holding
15:53
Speaker 6: the end. I'm like, all right, they don't have cooking,
15:56
Speaker 6: they don't have warm chocolate chip cookies, but I can
15:58
Speaker 6: listen to red socks raised on an XM call.
16:02
Speaker 3: That's gonna be somewhat okay. How does everyone not have this?
16:05
Speaker 6: Two years later everyone at TV, which I do think
16:07
Speaker 6: was maybe a tick better.
16:08
Speaker 3: That's true. All right, So we mentioned Tricia Whittaker spoke
16:11
Speaker 3: with a Hunter. We didn't want her to have to
16:13
Speaker 3: get up at the crack of dawn to talk to us.
16:15
Speaker 3: So huntertball in. Now, Oh yeah, we're gonna spin through that. Uh.
16:22
Speaker 3: We've had Trisha on before. She's terrific. She worked in
16:24
Speaker 3: Green Bay for a couple of years. She's a very fun,
16:26
Speaker 3: great attitude, does a good job.
16:28
Speaker 6: Unearthed the Pocket Pancakes last year. Absolutely gonna be fun
16:31
Speaker 6: to watch. But you know, people, ah here, we just
16:34
Speaker 6: people just settled into watching the Brewers. Now they're gonna
16:37
Speaker 6: have to go find them somewhere else. It'll there'll be
16:39
Speaker 6: a kerfuffle in some circles. Yeah, in with Grandma and
16:42
Speaker 6: Grandpa and Gert. Tonight's the Tonight's the upsetting one because
16:46
Speaker 6: Apple TV is not as good as it could be. However, Man,
16:49
Speaker 6: their camera angles, I don't know what kind of eight
16:51
Speaker 6: K It looks so awesome. It looks really really good. Yeah,
16:57
Speaker 6: the Brewers broadcast the early ones.
17:01
Speaker 3: I don't know. It did look a little dark in
17:03
Speaker 3: the dome, but it was cloudy out and I thought
17:05
Speaker 3: the same thing. I'm like I was thinking about and
17:07
Speaker 3: I was in the press box when it hit me
17:10
Speaker 3: and I it's very funny because our buddy Andrew Grumman,
17:12
Speaker 3: who is Mike Vassalo's assistant assistant media relations director, he
17:16
Speaker 3: has to go around and turn all the TVs on
17:17
Speaker 3: and they have like eight different brands, so you've got
17:19
Speaker 3: like eight remotes to turn on and off. Time there.
17:23
Speaker 3: That's his frustrate, that's his orange cone drive to work
17:27
Speaker 3: and he's like, oh, geez, we gotta do that. And
17:28
Speaker 3: I was thinking to myself, well, I could go bother groom.
17:31
Speaker 3: It would take us a half hour to find the
17:33
Speaker 3: remote and I could adjust the brightness. When's last time
17:36
Speaker 3: you did that? By the way you set your TV
17:38
Speaker 3: and you kind of set it and forget it. You
17:39
Speaker 3: have like the dynamic mode or the sports mode. I'm
17:42
Speaker 3: trying to get the best picture.
17:44
Speaker 7: Yeah or the Yeah. Well, the only time I do
17:45
Speaker 7: it is when like my daughter will change it accidentally.
17:49
Speaker 3: That's the only time she discovers those things. So the
17:52
Speaker 3: picture just kind of looked dark to me. It was like,
17:54
Speaker 3: I wish it was a little brighter. I thought the
17:55
Speaker 3: same thing.
17:56
Speaker 6: I do love the score Bug, but the dark miss
18:00
Speaker 6: I couldn't tell if it was inside of the stadium,
18:02
Speaker 6: and I'm interested to see once it goes over to
18:04
Speaker 6: Kaufman if it's any bit different. The wirecam is the
18:07
Speaker 6: one that I think is fascinating because I don't necessarily
18:10
Speaker 6: know exactly what shots were getting from the wirecam, but
18:13
Speaker 6: every time it gets in panning into the crowd, I
18:16
Speaker 6: feel like it's treating us to that.
18:18
Speaker 3: And they got the drone through the like the roof
18:23
Speaker 3: panel through the glass, through the glass, like down looking
18:26
Speaker 3: at that's pretty cool. Well, speaking of Apple TV and
18:29
Speaker 3: just broadcasts in general, the it started to percolate. Yesterday.
18:34
Speaker 3: The results came in from opening week in terms of
18:37
Speaker 3: viewership for MLBING strong, big numbers, big million viewers on Netflix,
18:43
Speaker 3: which and it was the youngest audience for an MLB
18:46
Speaker 3: opener in a decade. And it was like the worst
18:48
Speaker 3: game you could possibly be terrible other than our boy
18:51
Speaker 3: like Matty v right and the Barry Bonds fourteen see
18:55
Speaker 3: Diamondbacks Dodgers three point two million, two point three million
18:59
Speaker 3: for Mets Pirates, which was Schmes right, Yeah, pta that
19:03
Speaker 3: was the largest opening day audience on record for a
19:05
Speaker 3: multi game presentation on a single network, Which is the
19:08
Speaker 3: key there, right, because I.
19:09
Speaker 7: Know a lot of people hear the numbers and say
19:10
Speaker 7: it's good about in comparison context.
19:13
Speaker 3: So basically a doubleheader. And then Fox up forty five
19:16
Speaker 3: percent from last year in their presentation of the games,
19:19
Speaker 3: and MLB network had its highest ratings on opening day
19:22
Speaker 3: in network history. So Baseball's back. People are excited. The
19:27
Speaker 3: game is flourishing despite reports of its imminent demise, and
19:31
Speaker 3: now we're heading into this labor thing and people are like,
19:32
Speaker 3: they can't kill this can and can't. But here here's
19:36
Speaker 3: the thing. I'm starting to get a little bit more
19:38
Speaker 3: optimistic about baseball in twenty seven. Who because all these guys,
19:43
Speaker 3: like the Brewers with the Churio deal, all these guys
19:46
Speaker 3: getting deals like before they set foot on a major
19:48
Speaker 3: league diamond, They're they're looking ahead to the cap and
19:53
Speaker 3: the floor, and the deals will be either grandfathered in
19:57
Speaker 3: or they'll be they're trying to we're trying to lock
20:00
Speaker 3: in cost certainty and stuff, and I feel like they're
20:04
Speaker 3: getting ready for what's to come. Okay, So I like that.
20:08
Speaker 6: I like that optimistic view of it because I looked
20:10
Speaker 6: at it as players saying, I'm gonna grab every bit
20:12
Speaker 6: of cash I possibly can here for this year and
20:14
Speaker 6: then you're going to potentially get a little bit dark
20:17
Speaker 6: here coming up. So I like that it's a little
20:19
Speaker 6: bit more optimistic from the team side as to try
20:21
Speaker 6: to figure out how this structure fits in to the
20:24
Speaker 6: new the new floor. And I mean, listen, if the
20:27
Speaker 6: pirates are spending money, then you have to know that
20:29
Speaker 6: they know something exactly. They're not doing this willingly. There's
20:32
Speaker 6: no way Bob Nutting is shelling out one hundred million dollars.
20:34
Speaker 3: Plus unless he thinks he's gonna get like loan forgot,
20:36
Speaker 3: unless he thinks he's getting a deal like all these
20:38
Speaker 3: kids like, oh well, we want to pay our Colls
20:40
Speaker 3: loans one day. Now, the Players Association is putting together
20:44
Speaker 3: their little nest egg in case of a strike. And
20:47
Speaker 3: the report came out a couple of days ago. Yeah,
20:50
Speaker 3: that they have like a half a billion dollars just
20:52
Speaker 3: ready as a war chest just in case. So that
20:56
Speaker 3: that will that'll last, that'll last a while, I mean
20:59
Speaker 3: how long?
20:59
Speaker 7: Yeah?
21:00
Speaker 6: Right, Listen, that lasts the five hundred million against thirty
21:05
Speaker 6: one or thirty billionaires, it generally doesn't work out very
21:08
Speaker 6: well for them guys instead of the bees. But I'm
21:12
Speaker 6: pulling for Drew. And when those numbers are happening and
21:14
Speaker 6: the excitement off the WBC, there's just way too money,
21:18
Speaker 6: too much money at stake to be losing out games.
21:21
Speaker 3: Agreed. Agreed, So we shall see how this plays out.
21:24
Speaker 3: But right now, let's just enjoy the games while we can't.
21:26
Speaker 3: Brewers d Today, we'll hear from Hunter bombgart we'll hear
21:29
Speaker 3: from our Paltricia Whittaker as we move forward. We'll do
21:32

21:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a.
21:42
Speaker 6: Great one at lot through the weather for Hunter.
21:46
Speaker 3: But you know what, there was nobody. There was nobody.
21:49
Speaker 7: I felt better listening to it and having hold my hand
21:51
Speaker 7: and broadcasting wise through these warnings that Hunter bomb guard
21:55
Speaker 7: severe weather on one side and baseball on the other side.
21:59
Speaker 7: He was balancing and there was nobody better equipped to
22:02
Speaker 7: hannibal situations at the time.
22:03
Speaker 3: It was fantastic job, outstanding. We'll hear from Hunter as
22:06
Speaker 3: we move forward. Get yourself a comfortable chair and a
22:09

Speaker 8: we we You might be interrupted by the eas alerts.
22:35
Speaker 8: I don't think you will be on the live stream.
22:38
Speaker 8: But just as I'm making my first point here, we
22:40
Speaker 8: got alarm. I can hear alarms in the distance, and
22:44
Speaker 8: I don't think they're going off anymore. This is this
22:48

22:57
Speaker 8: Hunter was here in the eas.

23:02
Speaker 7: the off air alarm, so he wanted to make sure
23:03
Speaker 7: he's on air.
23:04
Speaker 3: So you have to give You have to give a
23:05
Speaker 3: Hunter credit. That's not an easy thing to do.
23:06
Speaker 7: And Hunter was handling it with a plum, as the
23:08
Speaker 7: kids say, with the plump, with a plump, A plumb
23:12
Speaker 7: is the word like that too early mess?
23:16
Speaker 3: All right, Billy, Now, Hunter.
23:17
Speaker 7: Did a great job. That was that was tons of fun.
23:19
Speaker 7: You were getting the weather updates. A lot of counties
23:22
Speaker 7: had tornado warnings and stuff last night west of US
23:24
Speaker 7: or Madison, aary west of the state.
23:27

Speaker 7: And I had to apologize to the six o eight
23:32

Speaker 6: So Hunter's carrying the load for us today. Thanks Hunter,
24:23
Speaker 6: Thank you Hunter. We appreciate it, and I do. I'm
24:26
Speaker 6: interested to see how the how the ABS system continues
24:30
Speaker 6: to roll through, and how Apple TV, if they have
24:33
Speaker 6: any tweaks to it, anything different that they present to it. Andrew,
24:36
Speaker 6: how more and more folks and more and more eyes
24:39
Speaker 6: on baseball or hed somebody try to say the best
24:41
Speaker 6: invention in any sport. Ever, I don't know that anybody
24:45
Speaker 6: is going to go that far about this. We are
24:47
Speaker 6: also in a world where they added a three point line.
24:51
Speaker 6: They stopped everything from being basket interference in basketball at
24:54
Speaker 6: one point.
24:55
Speaker 7: What about it in sports media? Is that the best
24:57
Speaker 7: invention in sports media? You know, the box and stuff.
25:00
Speaker 7: There's different things too.
25:02
Speaker 3: Best invention for sports media was a pitch clock.
25:05
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, I don't know that it's the
25:07
Speaker 6: best one that the sport has had in this last
25:09
Speaker 6: five years.
25:10
Speaker 3: Because I so much different than the years that I
25:13
Speaker 3: was covering every game. Your poor liver in the pitch
25:17
Speaker 3: club era.
25:18
Speaker 7: Might well when they first stop when they first dropped
25:21
Speaker 7: instant replay, people were going crazy back in the sixties,
25:24
Speaker 7: weren't they.
25:24
Speaker 3: I mean like instant replay, you can see the play again,
25:27
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Well, and I think of the score
25:29
Speaker 3: bug let alone in sports media. That one. I can't
25:32
Speaker 3: fathom that you didn't know what you watch. It was
25:34
Speaker 3: that Arman watches and stuff, and you see the screen
25:37
Speaker 3: being clean, like, what the hell is this?
25:38
Speaker 7: Well?
25:38
Speaker 3: Fox did it right first, the Fox box. That's true.
25:41
Speaker 7: The big netwhere other big networks like nbcas either like
25:43
Speaker 7: that's going to clutter up the screen. People don't want
25:45
Speaker 7: to see that. People want a clean picture, right, that
25:47
Speaker 7: was their idea, right. It's stunning to me.
25:50
Speaker 3: I want to score hit us up eight seven seven
25:52
Speaker 3: seven nine ninety seven three. I was like, you know,
25:55
Speaker 3: at least in my awareness of the time that I
25:58
Speaker 3: was cognizant. Last evening it rained a little bit, was
26:01
Speaker 3: no big deal. But I heard about the warnings and stuff.
26:03
Speaker 3: But I lived downtown. I got a good I can
26:07
Speaker 3: convenienced at all.
26:07
Speaker 6: Yeah, I got a good, like four minute run of
26:10
Speaker 6: some some rain that sounded like there was a little
26:14
Speaker 6: bit of hail mixed into it. Of course it was
26:16
Speaker 6: right after the kids went to bed, so you knew
26:18
Speaker 6: that there was a little bit of There was a
26:19
Speaker 6: little cautious moment like, are we gonna have to spring
26:22
Speaker 6: back into action exactly? Are we gonna have to drift
26:24
Speaker 6: into dad mode here? Really quickly? And that would be
26:26
Speaker 6: a little bit of a cumbersome moment in about twenty minutes,
26:28
Speaker 6: But luckily all things ended well by us as well.
26:31
Speaker 3: Sounded like it was a little bit more dicey north
26:34
Speaker 3: of US and south of US.
26:35
Speaker 7: Yeah, Whitewater had some big funnel cloud like shlve clouds.
26:39
Speaker 7: What Mark Baiden was saying last night, I don't know.
26:41
Speaker 7: I was trying to pay attention, but west a little bit, yeah,
26:44
Speaker 7: west and south.
26:45
Speaker 3: So people getting on Baiden last night.
26:48
Speaker 7: There was a couple of people that were like, I
26:51
Speaker 7: guess he either had seen some comments or anticipated because,
26:54
Speaker 7: as some of you guys know, the State Supreme Quarter
26:56
Speaker 7: debate was gonna be last night. Have you on one
26:58
Speaker 7: O the town whatever out of the building you're listening on? Okay,
27:02
Speaker 7: but they had either I think they postponed it. And
27:04
Speaker 7: then some people were waving to the debate, I know,
27:06
Speaker 7: right for weather coverage, and Mark was saying, look, I
27:09
Speaker 7: know you're supposed to see the debate. Yeah, you're asking
27:12
Speaker 7: why am I on my screen? It's not raining in
27:13
Speaker 7: my front yard. Well, it is for somebody else, and
27:16
Speaker 7: we have severe weather warnings and we have.
27:17
Speaker 5: To do this.
27:18
Speaker 7: And and then he's getting on people for driving when
27:20
Speaker 7: they showed the traffic camps.
27:21
Speaker 3: What are you guys doing out there? What are you
27:23
Speaker 3: driving outside right now?
27:24
Speaker 7: For?
27:24
Speaker 3: It was hilarious. Mark's the best.
27:26
Speaker 7: He's he's great at what he does obviously, and then
27:28
Speaker 7: he's always entertaining us.
27:29
Speaker 3: So no doubt, doubt. The Supreme Court debate was snake
27:33
Speaker 3: bit because one of the uh, one of the contestants
27:36
Speaker 3: had a kidney stone last week. They had to postpone that,
27:39
Speaker 3: uh and then that it was interrupted by severe storm cover.
27:43
Speaker 3: That's gonna beat you more than the other king.
27:45
Speaker 7: And then it really is that that will get you down.
27:48
Speaker 7: But you know that's all right, all right, we're talking about.
27:51
Speaker 3: There's uh some interesting stuff happening at the Worldwide Leader
27:55
Speaker 3: in terms of the NFL coverage. I was spinning through
27:57
Speaker 3: this story on the The Post had it that they're
28:00
Speaker 3: going to bring in a new booth for the number two,
28:03
Speaker 3: and I saw that a little bit yesterday. Yes, yeah,
28:05
Speaker 3: because like Chris Fowler, Dan Orlowski, Lewis Riddick are currently
28:09
Speaker 3: the number two, but Follower's got college stuff.
28:13
Speaker 6: College tennis, and I might be the only one that
28:17
Speaker 6: likes to keep Chris on college football and keep him
28:19
Speaker 6: keep him in a college space. Yeah, they're they're moving
28:23
Speaker 6: around with a couple of different candidates living around and
28:25
Speaker 6: apparently the candidates to be the number two and again
28:29
Speaker 6: the number two, it's fucking Akman.
28:31
Speaker 3: I didn't realize this because it seems like it went
28:33
Speaker 3: by so fast. But they're entering the last year of
28:36
Speaker 3: their five years. Holy find one hundred and eighty five
28:39
Speaker 3: million dollars. It feels like it just started. They both
28:41
Speaker 3: signed kind of like the Churio deals, right, and the
28:44
Speaker 3: Churio got eight for what, eight for sixty or something,
28:47
Speaker 3: eight for eighty for eighty. Well, those guys were five
28:51
Speaker 3: years at like eighty something, and now they're just going
28:53
Speaker 3: to double it. So their years are their contracts up
28:56
Speaker 3: after this year. They're talking about perhaps having like a
29:00
Speaker 3: Dave Pash who's which would be phenomenal. Mike Monico is
29:03
Speaker 3: in the mix, Bob wishes into uh, Jason Kelcey getting
29:08
Speaker 3: run as how that makes some sense as an analyst there,
29:11
Speaker 3: and uh, possibly Kurt Warner as well. It's still on radio.
29:15
Speaker 6: I think then we Warner is an NFL network talent
29:18
Speaker 6: that they're now going to take them.
29:19
Speaker 3: Because they've absorbed them so now interesting. ESPN probably wants
29:23
Speaker 3: to retain Ian Rappaport, whose contract is up at the
29:25
Speaker 3: end of this month and he's like gonna be a
29:28
Speaker 3: free agent. But Buckan Akman gonna be free agents already,
29:31
Speaker 3: and buckan Akman are going into free agency like after
29:35
Speaker 3: they have the Super Bowl because the Super good time
29:37
Speaker 3: to do it, good time to be free agents now.
29:40
Speaker 3: I think people had questioned for so long of how
29:43
Speaker 3: are they going to fix when are they going to
29:44
Speaker 3: fix Monday night football? Well, they did it the best
29:47
Speaker 3: way possible by just getting the best broadcast group that
29:49
Speaker 3: everybody's been watching for the last twenty years in buckan Aikman.
29:52
Speaker 3: They would be ridiculous to not give them whatever money
29:55
Speaker 3: they needed to be able to lock that in. The
29:57
Speaker 3: Kelsey piece is just it's phenomen because there has not
30:02
Speaker 3: been I know this is gonna be prisoner at the moment.
30:05
Speaker 3: I don't know.
30:05
Speaker 6: I've seen them invest in somebody and then throw that
30:09
Speaker 6: son of a gun on anything imaginable more than Jason Kelsey.
30:14
Speaker 6: He's gonna be at the Part three contests. They made
30:18
Speaker 6: sure that he was. That he found himself around the Olympics,
30:21
Speaker 6: even though that was on another network. They have done
30:23
Speaker 6: everything to keep him in the in the public sphere
30:26
Speaker 6: because he made so much money and getting paid so
30:29
Speaker 6: much there. I'm not surprised they're trying to put him
30:31
Speaker 6: into the games but it's a different beast. And the
30:34
Speaker 6: other part there is they work orlowsky h to no end.
30:38
Speaker 6: Guys get worked on on the bone Orloski of them.
30:41
Speaker 6: I think Dan's phenomenal on those games, and I think
30:43
Speaker 6: Lewis Riddick might even be better. So like those two
30:46
Speaker 6: not being a part of it shouldn't maybe surprise me
30:49
Speaker 6: because of all the different influx of people that they
30:52
Speaker 6: have in there.
30:53
Speaker 3: With just taking over.
30:55
Speaker 6: NFL network and you talk about Eisen who had called
30:58
Speaker 6: games for the Internet National Series, I would doubt that continues.
31:02
Speaker 7: Well, ESPN's ABC, all those I mean, like Jesse Palmer's
31:05
Speaker 7: been doing everything, it feels like, and you know, is
31:08
Speaker 7: he going to be involved somehow? It's mostly College and Bettler,
31:10
Speaker 7: you know, but he works for the network.
31:12
Speaker 3: They work for Disney.
31:13
Speaker 7: It's like you almost surprised he don't have those guys
31:15
Speaker 7: in the costumes at Epcott like doing all the everything
31:19
Speaker 7: they can to keep those guys working. You know, could
31:21
Speaker 7: be working at the Fish and ship stands.
31:23
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. The Turtles stand whatever it.
31:25
Speaker 6: Takes, but with passion with shoes and both of those
31:28
Speaker 6: guys call team games. I mean, we've talked about it,
31:32
Speaker 6: and we've been so lucky to have Wayne and Larry
31:34
Speaker 6: doing the games on our radio for so so long,
31:37
Speaker 6: local games using local broadcast, local broadcasts with Shooesing does
31:40
Speaker 6: the Jets broadcast, and I know Pash does the Cardinals.
31:45
Speaker 6: I think they'd I think they'd make it worth their
31:47
Speaker 6: while if they had to give that up druid to
31:49
Speaker 6: be able to do national television on a Saturday game.
31:52
Speaker 6: But the funny thing is the way that the NFL
31:55
Speaker 6: is going to move some of these games around very
31:58
Speaker 6: truly and honestly, they could probably do both.
32:01
Speaker 3: The likelihood of them sinking up onto a Jets game.
32:04
Speaker 6: They're definitely not gonna be on ESPN, and the Cardinals
32:06
Speaker 6: got a way to go before they get thrown into
32:08
Speaker 6: one of these primetime slots.
32:09
Speaker 7: Do these guys still travel I mean, I'm probably being
32:12
Speaker 7: naive to all these gigs and they're still traveling commercial
32:14
Speaker 7: because once upon time of broadcasters that to do back
32:17
Speaker 7: to backs, and Wayne's been in this situation travel commercial
32:20
Speaker 7: stories about or.
32:21
Speaker 3: Like you know what if there's a delay or something
32:23
Speaker 3: like that. We know how it is. These the big
32:24
Speaker 3: guys bucking Aikman and Herb Street obviously fine.
32:30
Speaker 7: It behooves the network to do that, even if it's
32:32
Speaker 7: wheels up or something, to get get a private shuttle
32:35
Speaker 7: for these guys.
32:36
Speaker 6: But I would struggle to think like the majority of
32:39
Speaker 6: them are flying private.
32:41
Speaker 3: I agree. I bet Kevin Harlan's not. Yes, Kevin Harlan,
32:44
Speaker 3: I think probably rolls first class more than him. Yeah,
32:47
Speaker 3: it's the next time we have Kevin Harlan on, I
32:50
Speaker 3: want to ask him, like, what are your how many
32:53
Speaker 3: hotel points in the airline? Yeah?
32:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, and when has he gotten like swayed by the
32:58
Speaker 6: different chains tried to come over there?
33:01
Speaker 3: It's probably a lot.
33:02
Speaker 7: And it's the same with like refer in college basketball
33:05
Speaker 7: and stuff. They're traveling every single day. There's never a
33:08
Speaker 7: home game.
33:09
Speaker 3: The h the baseball writers were always like we were
33:12
Speaker 3: married at horse Marriott Points was a great system back
33:16
Speaker 3: in the day. And nothing's as good as it used
33:18
Speaker 3: to be. Fair old guy ran but it was, uh
33:21
Speaker 3: the Marriotts. Guys would go always, always, always stay at
33:24
Speaker 3: Marriott's and there was like the dean of sports baseball
33:28
Speaker 3: writers was Jerome Holtzman, the old grandfatherly figure from the
33:31
Speaker 3: Chicago Tribune guy who uh he's like credited with inventing
33:35
Speaker 3: the save right his status day they invented the save. Yeah,
33:41
Speaker 3: that's Jerome was just a legend. And he one day
33:47
Speaker 3: he walked up to Tom Hardcourt and he's like, hey, Tom,
33:49
Speaker 3: you know, I've been staying at Marriotts for years. Everybody
33:52
Speaker 3: tells me to and stuff, but you know, what are
33:53
Speaker 3: these points for? Oh my goodness, what do you do
33:56
Speaker 3: with them? Tom's like, you can take and then he
34:00
Speaker 3: like showed him his statement and it was like a
34:03
Speaker 3: couple million points. And then Tom's just like, let me
34:06
Speaker 3: put it this way, Jerome, if there was a if
34:09
Speaker 3: there was a Marriott on Saturn, you and your family
34:12
Speaker 3: could go spend three weeks there and a lot you
34:16
Speaker 3: get so many points that you would get Like guys
34:18
Speaker 3: would work, especially the Yankees guys who stayed at Marriott's
34:21
Speaker 3: all through spring training. They didn't get apartments. They stayed
34:23
Speaker 3: at Marriotts, so they were platinum. Is like, if you
34:27
Speaker 3: get seventy five nights in a year, you were platinum.
34:29
Speaker 3: Back then, these guys were platinum before the season started,
34:33
Speaker 3: before they got when they got out of spring training,
34:34
Speaker 3: they were already platinum for the year. And then again
34:37
Speaker 3: Lifetime platform. But yeah, like one of my buddies, Don Burke,
34:41
Speaker 3: covered the Yankees and he at the end of the
34:43
Speaker 3: year he had a family of four. His son, now
34:46
Speaker 3: Brendan is a big rising star in the hockey announcing industry.
34:49
Speaker 3: That's tremendous. And the family four are like, oh, we're
34:52
Speaker 3: going to Hawaii. And it was a flight hotel all
34:55
Speaker 3: covered everything the scholarship points.
34:58
Speaker 7: And then they had the booklet like a cat a
35:00
Speaker 7: lot of furniture and stuff.
35:01
Speaker 3: You could order stuff almost like the Sharper Image type
35:03
Speaker 3: stuff like oh you could use one hundred thousand points
35:05
Speaker 3: for this DVD player. They were getting TV every exactly
35:09
Speaker 3: big screens. Yeah, man, you know me, I mean, I
35:12
Speaker 3: love I would love it. It was a great prog.
35:16
Speaker 3: You'd have loved it back in the Yeah, it's pretty cool.
35:18
Speaker 3: I wouldn't.
35:18
Speaker 7: I probably wouldn't have been as good to get one,
35:21
Speaker 7: but that still been pretty good. But there are may
35:27
Speaker 7: I mean that was the thing too. I remember that
35:29
Speaker 7: article and they're Marriott. Now there's nice Marriott.
35:32
Speaker 3: Now there's been all these like mergers and like star
35:34
Speaker 3: Wood and all that stuff. So anyway, that was that
35:38
Speaker 3: was back in the day when we come back, we're
35:39
Speaker 3: gonna hear Hunter's preview Brewers Royal Series Brewers five and one,
35:44
Speaker 3: first road game of the season, uh tonight at Kaufin Stadium,

Speaker 3: Apple TV, and it's I think it's a chance to
35:51
Speaker 3: rain tonight and then cold weather the next two days,
35:53
Speaker 3: I think. But the weather down there, no doubt about it.
35:56
Speaker 3: We hope to get it in because we need something
35:58
Speaker 3: to watch tonight. Got women's basketball tournam tonight. We're on
36:00
Speaker 3: Final four literally watching that today. Matt Lapeg gonna join

Speaker 3: don't make any promises.
36:11
Speaker 6: Listen, the storms, no one knows, Jeff and Fox Point said.
36:15

36:40
Speaker 3: medison everywhere on the iHeart app and of course streaming
36:43
Speaker 3: live for the early risers, insomniac and sociopaths out there
36:46
Speaker 3: on YouTube x and Facebook.
36:49
Speaker 7: You know one thing I realized driving by you know,
36:51
Speaker 7: he driving by the y over here, and everyone's waiting
36:53
Speaker 7: outside to get in.
36:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're even beating those guys.
36:56
Speaker 7: There is nobody waiting to get outside the Why Now, No,
37:00
Speaker 7: they don't get up early enough.
37:02
Speaker 3: That's true.
37:02
Speaker 6: But I would wonder how many of those folks that
37:05
Speaker 6: are waiting outside the Why are the folks that are
37:07
Speaker 6: already queued up by the time we hit this thing live.
37:10
Speaker 3: That's true.
37:10
Speaker 6: Once we hit it live, then get right to the elliptical,
37:14
Speaker 6: throw it on the iPad, boom into the earbuds, and
37:16
Speaker 6: now your huddle up.
37:17
Speaker 3: When it's cold out there, either in their cars with
37:19
Speaker 3: the with them running to stay warm, or they're in
37:21
Speaker 3: that little vestibule the airlock foyer in between the doors
37:25
Speaker 3: of yes, just wild. I love my spot though. That
37:28
Speaker 3: is a good spot.
37:28
Speaker 7: We've been there for swimming classes with the young tikes
37:31
Speaker 7: and stuff like that.
37:32
Speaker 6: Billy arm and you know, you don't know how many
37:34
Speaker 6: different different days I spent over at that y m
37:37
Speaker 6: c A. There was a there was a moment in time,
37:38
Speaker 6: Drew where I thought that I was going to be
37:39
Speaker 6: the next star of the Witnell High School basketball team.
37:42
Speaker 6: There for a good three or four weeks that that
37:45
Speaker 6: I put in a lot of work over there in
37:46
Speaker 6: that upper gym. Love that just missing every half court
37:49
Speaker 6: shot you can possibly do that? Go ahead, Drew, I
37:51
Speaker 6: said a question.
37:52
Speaker 7: There was a question from Jeff and Fox point about
37:54
Speaker 7: the Apple TV thing. All right, I got if we
37:57
Speaker 7: have Brewers TV after we need Apple TV to see
37:59
Speaker 7: the game that I don't have Apple TV.
38:01
Speaker 3: I don't like that. I do believe you will need
38:03
Speaker 3: Apple Yeah. Yeah, that's the soccer one outside the MLB window.
38:09
Speaker 3: Like anybody nationally like, this game's only of that's what
38:12
Speaker 3: Apple TV pays for it inclusivity.
38:14
Speaker 6: And it's actually the only one that was was decent
38:18
Speaker 6: of an exclusivity contract for MLB because the Roku one
38:22
Speaker 6: they sold it for so low on that Sunday leadoff game.
38:25
Speaker 6: First off, no one cares that much to be able
38:28
Speaker 6: to see the first game on Sunday. And when they
38:30
Speaker 6: spent like ten million dollars on at ESPN's like, wait,
38:33
Speaker 6: that's messing up our contract.
38:34
Speaker 3: So this one, this one they're not is not going away.
38:37
Speaker 6: If anything, I think Apple is going to try to
38:38
Speaker 6: get Drew even more of these different one off games
38:42
Speaker 6: because you got to find a reason for it to
38:44
Speaker 6: be somewhat prime.
38:45
Speaker 7: Yeah, Brews TV great product, but unfortunately doesn't get you
38:47
Speaker 7: every game. And then tomorrow we're back on it. Also,
38:50
Speaker 7: tomorrow's game is also.
38:51
Speaker 3: On FS one nationally if you're looking for that one.
38:53
Speaker 3: So that's right, you get it. Now, what about Brewers
38:55
Speaker 3: TV when they're on Big Fox. That's a great question
38:59
Speaker 3: because that you know, you would like ba lev Rock
39:04
Speaker 3: they're off, you know. So I'm not positive, but I
39:08
Speaker 3: think it might black out on a smart TV and
39:11
Speaker 3: then you could watch it mobilely on Brewers TV. Okay, okay, because.
39:17
Speaker 7: It will, it will.
39:17
Speaker 3: It'll be funky that way. I mean.
39:19
Speaker 6: I also have uh, you know, the uh my folks
39:22
Speaker 6: who are snowbirding, and they got nipped this week because
39:26
Speaker 6: they're in Fort Myers technically in the Tampa market, so
39:29
Speaker 6: they were unable to watch on Brewers TV because it
39:33
Speaker 6: was technically a raise game that would have been on
39:36
Speaker 6: their distribution, so get it in there.
39:38
Speaker 3: Oh man, that's wild. But the thing is about the
39:40
Speaker 3: big Fox games.
39:42
Speaker 7: Usually if you don't have cable, you haven't inten anyway,
39:44
Speaker 7: so people find a.
39:45
Speaker 3: Way to worse. Are baked in though, because I remember
39:47
Speaker 3: Rick Lesser saying like, we're gonna have like the one
39:50
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty something because they've got some games that
39:52
Speaker 3: are on other outlets. Yeah, it was like one hundred
39:55
Speaker 3: and fifty, one hundred and fifty five and best team
39:57
Speaker 3: in baseball. They'll probably have more ad its there you go.
40:00
Speaker 3: Speaking of your Milwaukee Brewers, they're they're dialed in five
40:04
Speaker 3: and one entering tonight's game. It is to me still
40:07
Speaker 3: funky that the Brewers are. They go from the White
40:10
Speaker 3: Sox to the Rays, to the Royals to the Red Sox,
40:12
Speaker 3: and they're gonna play three weeks of the season before
40:14
Speaker 3: seeing a National League foe American League days.
40:17
Speaker 6: I heard someone call in the post and just say,
40:19
Speaker 6: died can't wait till they get rid of these inner
40:21
Speaker 6: league games.
40:22
Speaker 3: So I got bad news for you. I don't think
40:23
Speaker 3: they're going They're never going away. I love that he's
40:26
Speaker 3: keeping that energy, though.
40:27
Speaker 6: I don't care about this American league.
40:30
Speaker 3: Like, it's not like they have the DH Anymore's really nothing.
40:35
Speaker 3: Bring back the DH, the senior circuit and all that.
40:37
Speaker 3: Absolutely so. H Hunter bombgart Our Intrepid Brewers reporter, host
