• 1:16
  Speaker 2: and women's hockey program. He's super, super awesome guy. So
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: that was a phenomenal time yesterday.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Cool, you just mentioned Ken Shamrock and I had a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: flashback that Johnny Vegas and I were out with one
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of his co workers many many years ago, and his
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: coworker struck up a conversation with a very strikingly attractive
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: mid thirties Ish woman and then she went to go
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to the bathroom and the bartender said, you might not
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: want to be talking to her. It's like, well why not?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Like wow, her most recent X is Ken Shamrock and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: he comes in here a lot, so hey, you.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Know what I love? It is like a bartenders for
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: the heads up.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, we'll be leaving the pay our tab. We're giving
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you a nice tip on our way out of that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: getting good advice.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: That's a good bartender.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know, she's just being nice to you
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: because she's a pro or something. No.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: No, it was like I was gonna say, what is
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: she gonna watch?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Watch? It's like word to the wise. Okay, No, we
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: need Ken Shamrock flashback.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: That's what you can't. You know, you gotta I gotta
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: know why, like you know what I.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Mean Ken Ken Shamrock flashbacks? How about flashbacks to Pittsburgh
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Brewers get swept yesterday, a gut punch of a loss.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Winning that one would have been a mood changer, would
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: have get you go into La with wind in your sales,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: even though you lost two out of three. But they
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: lose four three and eleven innings and it was mostly heinous. Yes,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: it was stinging, to say the least.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Drew the last play, even with a great throw by Laura,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a pretty good throw. If it's a great throw, it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a little bit lower and you might still be playing.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Who knows he made the great catch and Mitchell did
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: two an extra, So all those things kind of the
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: great start by Dustin may go by the wayside.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately. Yeah, the star Dustin May was something like.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: There the silver lining is Dustin May gets the ball
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and pitches into the eighth with eighty three pitches. He
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: walked the first guy in the eighth, so Murph went
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to get him. M all right, eighty three pitches. Yeah,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: but thirty you know you can you can make the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: case that that's okay and you should rested bullpen. Let's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: go right, and Patrick walked a couple of guys. Ashby
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: didn't cover first base, but you can focus on the pitching.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: But once again, the Brewers were two for fifteen with
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: runners in scoring position. Oh my goodness. They left thirteen
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: men on base, and of the fifteen at bats with
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: runners in scoring position then ended in strikeouts.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, frustrating. It was heinous. They struck out with a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: base loaded three guys struck out like they left the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: base loaded in the eleventh thing.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: And that's what really hurt him. Right, Casanchez gets the
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: RBI double, will lead it off, but then it's okay, great,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: now you're gonna take control and get.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Some more than you need.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: The crooked number, especially when you're on the road, and
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: now that one really hurts.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: So they just blew a chance to break it open,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and then ren Heatho comes in and he's had some
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, Sends. The tailor had some bad
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: luck again, you know, bad just bad result.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, vallerball.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: So you blame that. You can blame the bullpen, but
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: it's the it's the.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Offense that's mm hmm.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: This is when when Drew they leave that many guys
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: on on basin in scoring position. I mean there was
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: also two for eleven where the padres, but a lot
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: of that. They lost a lot of their men on
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: base because your defense was final.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: What at four double.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Play was a double play machine.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Well, and even at the point it looked like that
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: double play in the fourth inning that they turned right
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: after a botch that should have gotten him out of
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the inning might have been the biggest pitch of the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: game if they win it, who knows, because it would
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: have been a moon changer. Could have been the biggest
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: pitch of the road trip. If you go out there
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: and do something good against the Dodgers. Robbie Ray got
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Robbie Ray didn't pitch well. And that's another thing. Dustin
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: May outpitched.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Robby Ray, a guy who a lot of people would
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: rather have had, Yeah, but he was way better. Dustin
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: May has been. Its pretty pretty damn solid pick up.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: That's the silver lining.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: But the first played eleven innings and they only got
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: five hits, right, And like I said, two and fifteen
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: play appearances with runners in scoring posions. Five hits, but
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: they got ten walks. Yeah, on base playing traffic all day.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: That's why they had all the guys stranded. And it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: just an awful offensive day, an awful day all around.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Ashby's got to cover first base. He gives you a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: chance you'd probably win the game if he covers first base.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So I was.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I was listening on the radio at that point, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it sounded like they were being very potentially nice in
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: that criticism. That was a that was a blow by
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Ashley copying there, right, And it was.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Just then he overran the bag and Tattis scored.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Because all of a sudden you hear Tattoos
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: rolling around and I'm like, okay, that's just one of
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the base stealers in the league running.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: But it was just another botch on the side.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: I was still super close, Like when I watched the
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: replay over and over to see, like, all right, how
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: late was he because obviously he's a left you come
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: down on the right back, so it's hard to turn
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: around wheel. And he did get down in sprint and
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: it was just like a split second of a step late.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: But if he gets you, it's just reaction if you
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: If he gets there a split second earlier, obviously on
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: the reaction, he might.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Have had a chance to beat him. Do you think
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Bower's gonna beat him?
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: It's tough because Vaughan's going to his right right in
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: that place, So I don't know. It might have been
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: might have been able to slide in and beat him
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: with the foot. That's a tough situation. I'd have to
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: watch it again to see.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: But I saw Murph's post game and he said, you
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: know this has happened to Ashby before, and it's like
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: four or five times. It's like something in his career.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: You got to get better at it. And then he
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: basically said, the first baseman's gott to dive for the bag.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: You can't trust Ashby.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: It was an option, I said, is he gonna try
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and dive here? Yet, as we all know who we're
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: working with, maybe we just take matters into our own hands.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: It's just tough because you once he once he.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Got it roll over.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: I'm like, he's out of this.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Said, here's Murph saying it's been going on. You've seen
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: that with Ashby in his career, maybe four or five times.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Seems like it's always comes at a critical time. The
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: first basement has got to die for the base. You
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: can't leave it up to Ashby. It's a good point.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: That's a love way.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: The Birs offense sucked, but nobody could be mad at
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Christianellege because he' one of the guys that did not play.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: It was it was not in there. But then this game,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: this was such a blow and they were in the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: series three for twenty eight with runners in scoring position.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: So we're back to that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: And you think that's got to like just regressive the meeting.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: It's got to get better, right, But you keep waiting
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: for it.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: But they went through one of these death spirals and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you know, the defense is still there, the pitching is
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: still there. They pitched well enough to win. Didn't hit
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You can, okay, they should have got a bat at
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the deadline. Well maybe the bats they have should be better.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Well that's the thing.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, like, I still firmly believe the best bats
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: that were available at the deadline is Jackson Surio, Bryce
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Terrang and William Contreras hitting like their baseball cards.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So it was it's so deflating yesterday that, in a
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: rarity and probably a season first, Murph called a postgame
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: meeting to address the truth.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Wow, okay, come on now, big meeting guy.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Now we need to figure this out and have a meeting,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: and not a player's only meeting. It's a full team
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: roof talking too.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now I did.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I also like Jake Bauer statement after the game where
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: he's I think we all just need to child up
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: out a little bit. And now it's it's a lot
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: easier said than done. Right, They're the Paul Rudd in
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: uh forgetting Sarah Marshall. Just do less, just do less?
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, now you're not doing anything at all.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Do more, but do more but less. But you got
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to figure out.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Easier to be able attics right, Easier to be.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Able to get yourself dialed in while also not being
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: so hell bent on on the swings and missus because
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be too many of them to keep yourself
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: out of the game.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: For asked about his message, Murph said, sometimes it goes
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the other way. All I know is that on August twelfth,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: we have the best record of baseball. Well now the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: race do actually saying no longer. If you've got the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: best record in baseball, you're still going to go through
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: times like this when things are aren't very good and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: everything seems to go against you. But it's in your head.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Things are going against You've got to not feel sorry
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: for yourself and just keep your head up and not go, oh, well,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: now we've got the Dodgers. They're the best team. You
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: just get opportunity after opportunity and take advantage. I'm proud
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: as hell of this team. So for everybody who's looking like,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: oh wow, what's going on the pod, there's a hot
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: team in baseball, look it up. They've got a bunch
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: of superstars, all playing good. They've got a great pitching staff,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: especially the bullpen, some of the best in the game.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: We cut them at the wrong time or we win
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: two out of three, for sure, but we didn't. Here
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: we are. Teams are closing in on us. Everybody's talking
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: about the Cubs. Hey, give the Cubs credit. They're an experienced,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: educated team. They showed up their team with as much
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: as they could and they're playing great. Hats off to them.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: We can't worry about any of that. Just worry about
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: ourselves and keep rolling and keep fighting, keep playing the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: way we have. We can't look behind. We have to
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: play the way we play.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Fantastic. I love it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I love the way he puts it. All you can
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: do is get back on the horse and go again
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: and try to make you get opportunities. Jilly just said
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: that you could if they sweep the Dodgers.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: It's a winning trip could happen, and if you likely
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: but it could if.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: You win the series.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Again, this is just the stuff that probably they aren't
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: forecasting or looking for. You win the series three out
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: of four, you win the season series against the Dodgers, Yeah,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: and you will have that tie breaker over for basically
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: an extra half game lead in the standings for the buy.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: And a trip that started in a nightmares. You're suddenly, you.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Know, suddenly our three of four would feel real good.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, three and four would be you know, three and
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: four would be great after going on with three.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: So yeah, and.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: It's they're in a position where at least you know
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have miss and Henderson in the back end
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: of the trip. Henderson against School is gonna be one
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: of the more fascinating pitching matchups I think all year long.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: And you just hope that you don't have to You
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: just pray that Miz doesn't have to be the stopper,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: because if that's the case, then this swoon through August
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: definitely takes a different type of tailspin. And we were
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: talking about a five and a half game lead going
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: into September. That lead that you built up through the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: last three months could completely dissipate because nobody's helping you.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Nobody's clubs aren't gonna lose Man.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: That's what this way it feels like freaking Alex Bregman
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden found his baseball.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden, He's going nuts, right, What was he?
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Three for three with three taters? Oh?
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: You three all?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, three for three with three bombs.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: That's disgusting.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: I try to avoid when I see them put up
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: quoked numbers. I try and avoid the rest of the score.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: But uh, I think understanding too, Like, no matter how
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: good the season is, in totality. There's gonna be rough spots,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: rough waters, there's gonna be turbulence in that flight.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: That's okay.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: It's not like you're accepting it and you're saying, hey,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: we're just not gonna try our best. No one's saying that,
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: but understand the reality of it and saying, look, these
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: are times you gotta get through what you gotta make
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: sure they pass. You gotta do all you can get
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: out of it. And once you do, you know, we
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: just talked about the Cubs understanding the fact that you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: they might have a stretch like this at some point too,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: and it might all even out.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: So I can do is what you can do, right, And.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: If the Cubs are that good and they're gonna be
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: unstoppable that much, so be it. It's gonna be a dogfight.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Then they're gonna earn their position and we'll see what
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: happens in September. But that's just the way it goes sometimes.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: But the Brewers have to get healthy, just get one
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: guppish nide, find a way to put some runs up
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: and try and get yourself feeling all right, we're back
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: in the track.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: The frustrating thing is I thought they were. I thought
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: they did the Tom Hondacord. I thought they were gonna
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: kick the crap out of somebody two to one. Sure,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: feel real good on their quick flight up to Los
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles, uh, and maybe get a nice steak dinner
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: when you land.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: And instead weren't going.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: In and they weren't going out to any ocean app places. Last,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: first of all, they bust from San Diego to really
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh dang, that's probably quite a ride in traffic,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: but they do bus because say, that's a decent that's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a decent jaunt. Yeah. Kurt Hog has an interesting story
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: about trying to pin down the Brewers offense. Is it
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: good they're fifth in the league and runs scored? What
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: if I had have told you in spring training that
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: August thirteenth, the Brewers be fifth in the league and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: run score? You take it right, Yeah, absolutely, But then
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you say, are they good? Are they a good offense?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: And you watch the bats and you watch the three
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: for twenty eight runs in correcase, you say no, not really.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Well, but it's at the point of it always, this
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: is always the debate, and it goes back to the
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: whole moneyball. You're trying to get runs. You're just trying
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: to Oh yeah, you get hits, you're trying to get runs.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Were third, and runs scored last year sixth the year before.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three there were seventeenth.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: A lot of that's the walks, A lot of that,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: A lot of that is because it's not slugging for
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: this team. A lot of that is getting on base
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: understanding you know how to do it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Put a pressure on Brews are second in baseball and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: walk rate. Well, they had ten walks yesterday and didn't
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: turn them into anything. They don't chase as many pitches
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: as any other team. They're very good in played discipline,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: so that's a thing. But then where there's no homers
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and there's no you know, the clutch hitting, it just
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: isn't there.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing, is that the clutch hitting is
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: just as has escaped them. And while I'm not here
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to be the captain of the Christianellege fan club, that
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: was one spot where at least there had been a
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: couple of hits earlier on in the year late and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: in clutch moments you had seen some of that. They're
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: going through a massive tailspin, right, massive team wide malaise,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: and there's got to be something that you can do
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: to try to crack this thing through. But it happens
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: to every great team. BTS isn't just a South Korean
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: boy band. BTS is what Tom Hardercourt and I would
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: call bad team syndrome. Like Breuers are not a bad
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: team by any stretch, but they're going through They're in
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: a bad team syndrome right now.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Whereas every mistake you make, every.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Ashby not covering the bag terrang, making a base running error,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a fielding air like the Botch double play didn't hurt
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: them because they got a double play in the next play.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: But everything's a butterfly effect and it just has a
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: cascading effect. So there's you know, bad team syndrome, like
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: when you on the nights that you hit, you know,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: we scored seven runs and we gave up nine. They're
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the worst version of a good team exactly. There. It's
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: just bad team syndrome and every every good team. The
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Dodgers just went through it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they just lost point.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers just sputtered through it, and the Brewers are
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: going through it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you do it and it's the timing. Wow, they
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: can't compete with the Podres and Dodgers. I don't know
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that it matters who you play, because they struggled against
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the Twins, and they struggled offensively against everybody.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I think the Padres also are going to be just
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: about anybody these last couple of days.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Right, and merv mentioned it.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: They're as hot as hell, and I think they've won
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: what fourteen of eighteen or fifteen of nineteen now.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just like they're going on that stretch.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: They also have one of the we talk about payroll
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: be uh, one of the biggest factors in performance and
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: wins and losses in baseball. They got one of the
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: bigger payrolls and all the ball and and drew. They
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: have one thing that is in I don't know that
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: it's a neutralizing factor, but it is a It is
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: a tough one for other teams to deal with, is
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: that they are the only show in town and that
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: place is live every single night.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Like you could hear it throughout the last three or
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: four innings.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Yesterday it was live in there and for a matinee
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the week, and uh, they love
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: their Padres.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Going on the extra inning, they wanted to walk. They
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: wanted to walk tatiss at one point and Murphy was
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: yelling and nobody could hear because when you're out in
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the music, in the atmosphere. It took a while and
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: it was like, oh, they might not see this that
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: they want to put them on and they.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: How do we figure out to get their uh sound?
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Guy?
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Because that place sounds like a freaking party. It is
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: these next four nights at l A in l A. Yeah,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: but still like whenever the brewers are up, they'll fire
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: up the jams in that place, that place will lie.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I've been up at very smart times. Right, That's it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I think it's the key moment and infusion of oh
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: it sounds like this is a big moment.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Why don't we crank up the volume a little bit
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: and see it?
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like they're very strategic within Dodger Stadium.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: San Diego is just allowed all of it. It's so
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: funny because California is supposed to be laid back. San
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Diego is loud beginning to end. It's a loud play.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: It's a vibe. You're right, it's a party.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: It's the uh waste management classic of baseball. And then
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers are you know, the celebrities and everybody shows
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: up late because of traffic and everything. But no, they
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: get you right in the moments. They get it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: By the seventh inning, when everyone's there. That's when it
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: really gets like California is supposed to laid back. Go
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: to a Brewers game and you see Miss and like
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: it's picked up a little bit. But you would think
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: that when Miss throws the first pitch one hundred and
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: four or has two strikes on the leadoff batter of
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: a game, you might have a little.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Like juice, but we don't. It's it's picking up a
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: little bit, but it's nowhere near what it where it
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: will be like in the playoff.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: It won't be like dead.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: But that's why I said I wanted Cooper Pratt to play,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and I want because that's the that's a playoff preview,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: that atmosphere, and that's why I say that teams like
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the Twins and the and the Rockies get excited coming
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to Milwaukee because to them it feels like the playoffs,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: even though it's not the same. It's where we're a
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: level below San Diego. And it was a full house.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: It was the home series I want to say that
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Pratt played against the Cubs, but he had mentioned it
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks later that he is like, I
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: gripped the bat a little bit too tight in those games,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: right I was.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I was feeling the atmosphere, feeling the intensity. So it's
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: a would have been a thing. So yeah, yell, it's
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: didn't play. It wasn't his fault yesterday. But he's part
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: of the problem. But everybody's part of the problem. And
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: we talked about the injuries, the nagging stuff like I
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: guess Churio's hands bugging him and Terang's got a sprain
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: thumb well, and then.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Murph yeah, then Murph yesterday is like, oh, by the way,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: yeah I misspoke.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Actually, Terran doesn't have a sprain thumb.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: It's actually Cheerio.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Like when when when we're messing that part up,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: by the maybe we got Ran got a big knock
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: yesterday and he's he continues you expect him or any series.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: He gets hit, and he got rob from another one
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: by the crone Zone. Jake Croninworth. Fletcher was excited about
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: that one.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: And by the way, not only not only did he
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: pitch in this series, but Elgary hit the home run
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to get him going.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: He was the main offense.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Did think that was just the case. All you needed
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: was him to pitch to wake up the bats.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: When when that thing that would have been such a
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: nice one to get and Mason Miller walked to guys.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Had a chance off him.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I had a chance. I had a chance. Like it's
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: still a long shot because he's really good, but fascinating
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: to watch and to argue about whether this offense is
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: good or functional or can it win. Yeah, as we've said,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the Brewers, when they're going and when they're rolling, they
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: can beat anybody. They can also lose to anybody.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Well, you mentioned butterfly fact, and I promised an inspirational
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: text from Ronda and Morono speaking of butterflies, morning, gentlemen,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: I finally released three male monarch butterflies.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: You know she raises monarch.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Butterflies, and of course I named them appropriately. So we've
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: all got one Drew billion armon their pictures. I'm heartbroken
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: with the Brewers, but I'm putting positive out there and
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: I'm likening the Brewers to my monarchs. You start off
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: cute and happy like a caterpillar.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Then the ugly.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Period, transitioning to in the chrysalis, and then finally emerging
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: to fly free strong pavilion against storms. During migration, the
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Brewers will merge from the ugliness and a fly despite
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: these storms. I spit in the face of negativity. Let's go,
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: let's go.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Let's go, let's fly. We are a lot of fantastic.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Well, and I'll tell you I was a very hungry
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: caterpillar before.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I became that beautiful butterfly.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Your boy was munching on those on those plumbs on Wednesday,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: and you can argue, I mean before strawberries on Thursday.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I was there for him. Let's go.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Can't wait for those five our inches tomorrow on Friday,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: and then that's Saturday that I'm gonna feast.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Oh goodness, it's gonna be funny.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: You know. I get it. Going through an ugly transform
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: and becoming as beautiful as I am. I can relate
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: to that. You know, it's a monarch my goodness.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Also, like Maggie, tell them MLB to quit scheduling seventeen
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: games and seventeen days. It's already happened once this season,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: and that turned out the eighteen games in seventeen days.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: September is just as ugly. Does it happen to every team?
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: By the way, my husband is tired and hearing me
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: bitch about the Brewers schedule.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Well, Maggie, that's fine.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: You can.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: You can gripe to all your friends here on the
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: huddle as well. But it is a they only had
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: once the calendar flipped or post All.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Star breaks through.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I think they had six off days after the All
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Star break, like it was gonna stack up. The rent
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: was gonna come due. For the early season off days
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: that they got. There were a lot of Thursday off
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: in that month of April.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: In the month of August, the Brewers have had two
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: games where they've scored more than four runs, So they're
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: due for some crooked numbers. Maybe they'll come when they
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: get home after a day off Monday. We'll see, But
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: regression is real and they're due. Maybe they just need
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: to smack a couple of Dodger dogs there you go, right,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, just house a couple of Dodger dogs. Channel
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the old Babe Ruth who was real PCA and then
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: just all of a sudden going and mashed like three
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: or four homers telling and I think there's one glazer
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: left in the box. Dolphice coming in next and we're
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: to see if he wants it. Oh, he's gonna have
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: to have three days or it's fully fully cleaned outs, right,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and he's off the next couple of days, So Dolph
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: will be in. It's halftime. You're in the huddle. Fox
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio, Wiscons.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Now here's traffic from Triumph, Hi Drew, what's up, Fellas?
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: So plenty plenty Packers tonight against the Steelers, and we're
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: picking through what probably will have to rank as the Brewers'
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: worst loss of the year. Yesterday one that we got
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: to see unfold. Yeah, watching the highlights from Monday, I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: thought that was stinging, and then yesterday was just you
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: got that sinking feeling in the late innings that it
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: was probably gonna happen.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: But then, okay, Brewers, you know what was the deal?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: The eleventh eleventh eleven?
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was your here, we thought your reprieve.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, here we go. We're gonna take one and then
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: carry that mo into LA And it was for fifteen
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: runners in scoring position with ten strikeouts.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: And it was it was set up pretty sweet too,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: because I was at the State Fair yesterday while the
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: game is finishing up.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: I thought that we were gonna be able to watch
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: the end of the game.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: And then roll through, But we enjoyed the extra innings
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: wandering through. Every TV at every bar has the game on.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: People are going crazy when they take the lead. The
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Lara catch gets a big pop in then and then
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: an instant flood out, almost like the pig races letting out,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: where all of a sudden, the stands just empty and
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: there's just a sea of people rolling through.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: That was Ghoulsby's and.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: The worst bar in every camp bar that there was.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Everybody just flooding out right after the last time. All right, well,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I guess we can go find the potato.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Suddenly the old fashion at camp bar didn't taste quite
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: as sweet.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody wanted another turtle Sunday. I did.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: But just like the non Brewers play we talked about,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Ashby not covering first, Terrain gets thrown out trying to
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: steal as the placed runner at second base, he gets
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: thrown out for the first out there trying to steal third.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: A weird one. You're in scoring position, Bryce, You're fast
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: enough to score on just about any singles.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's stunk.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? And then Lara in that situation,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Lara gets a pitch timer a strike. He loses a
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: strike to a pitch timer like a clock violation can't happen.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: No, he wanted that steal to get too changed just
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: because of like how bad they've been with runners in
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: the square position getting hits. Think the impetus was like,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: I got to create something, get of ourselves too, said, I.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Don't know what, but it was a boneheaded play. You
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: can't say it's it's too risky to even do it,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: but if you're gonna steal it, you can't get thrown out.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, but it's like it was out by a mile,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: And it's like Lockridge the other night though, like at
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: some point you do know when you get a good
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: jump or not, right like you there is a I
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: know it's tough to you have to commit or not,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: but like Lockridge gets an awful jump the other night
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: when he tries to steal second ends the game, and
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: it felt like the same thing for its harang. It's
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: like if you know that, you don't have it get
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: thrown out by that that much. It feels like there
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: was more of a hint that you weren't going to
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: be in there. What do you guys read into these
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: players only meetings?
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: You know, it happens in every sport when you're struggling,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: and the Brewers held one yesterday after the game, you
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: get deep, you believe in this. What do you think, Drew, Yeah,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, it's a lot of eyewash, but it's
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: also if it works, you say, it was great and
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: it's a turning point. But a lot of teams have
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: meetings after a lot of losses and it doesn't really
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Uh my take on that is was shaped by uh,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Damian Miller, the Lacrosse native who used to be for
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: the Brewers and he played for the Diamondbacks when they
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: won the World Series and he was talking I was
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: talking to him during that run and he said, yeah,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: we had a couple of times this year where we
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: had have uh you know, we had we had we
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: had meetings, like because they had a very veteran team.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: It was they'd all seen you know, they had Matt Williams,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Luis Gonzalez counsels on there, Brandy Johnson, shilling. He's like, yeah,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: we've had a couple of team meetings this year, but
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: we tend to do it on the days going into
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: games when Shilling or Johnson pitch, we're not idiot. We'll
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: have the meeting and then they'll go out and pitch
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: good and we'll win again. But we kind of like
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: seated the clouds there a little bit. We kind of
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: like prime the pump, like we were not idiots. Like
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: that's brilliant. But he did say most most meetings in
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: baseball are stupid and eyewashed and just like, well, because
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: it's so tough, you say you're clearing the air or whatever,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: but it's like grip the batmore right, bat less try
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: to Hey, let's try to win. Let's let's try to
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: get a hit with runners and scoring. But I mean.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: I think so much of it has to just be
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: like exuding more cond fidence in each other. Again, as
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: as uh nerdy as that might sound, and some people
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: think that it's it's very very waxy and too nice,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: there is something too to feel the confidence.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: This power of friendship thing. They're in it together and
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: it's like I want to come through in this situation
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: to help all.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: The other guys.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: It's not just like oh, sure itself a grandize which
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: is that's a good trait, but everybody is squeezing.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: The handle pressure on you to not let someone else.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: It's palpable when you see guys trying to like trying
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: to do too much to use their exactly exactly what
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: you're talking and and then guys are trying it's not
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: for lack of effort, but again, try easier, go, get
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: hammer hung over whatever.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: You don't think that's a bad idea.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I think that's probably what the theme of that meeting was.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I always say it's like people say, well, who's
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the leader who's going to call the meeting. It's like,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: you know, leadership in baseball, especially leadership is not who
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: calls the meeting and said, let goose guys. It's who
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: gets the two run hit with two outs. That's leadership
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: to hit with two out, driving or run.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: And frankly, I don't care if it's Luis Lara or
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: or Christian Yellich as long as they win, win one
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: their rolls through here. But I am in on the
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: the go out and grab a couple with the boys
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: mantra like they're getting up to l a. Those places
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: stay open very very late on days. Let's go out
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: and I'm not saying we got to stay out till
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: five in the morning. We got to see sun up
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: and go get breakfast on Rodeo Avenue before you go
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: in here and take a nap. But go out here
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: and sorry, he's slapping on your I didn't want to know,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: but I had to do it, so sorry, Billy.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: All right, just to light in the mood here right now,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I've got it. I've got a Rodeo Drive, little story
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: here right on the West Boulevard. My sister and brother
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: in law came out to visit, and we did a
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: couple of days in l A. And we visited Beverly
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Hills and we were on Rodeo Drive, just just a
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: window shop, you know, and just to have some fun.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: And a couple of places we went into and one
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: was a perfume store. And my brother in law is hilarious.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: He should be a stand up comedian. First off, he
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: went up to the security guard and said, is that
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: is that a Texas fifth? He called it a Chanel
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: number five over the window, and if so, how much
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: is it? And then we go into a painting store
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: where they didn't have a painting less than five grand
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: in those days, and they had some as high as
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: fifty sixty thousand dollars and against arm guards around the place.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: And he walked up to one of them and said, uh,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: you got any dog shooting pool or playing poker. I
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: liked it. I'd like that for my wreck room. And
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that guy did not smile. Damn, I was hoping all
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, he said, yeah, and it's eighty four
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: dollars exactly.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: I'll give you one if you want to buy it,
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: but I charge you.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: This n was my one and only time on Rodeo Drive.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: I enjoy that.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: I love that one. Yeah, I mean, listen, the dog's
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: playing poker was a stable poster.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Especially when it was in black velvet with the light
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: with black lights.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, if one.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: So, Billy and I are going to be doing packers
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: ot like. That's the one way we stay awake for
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: a West Coast game. It'll be on while we fired. Yeah,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: it's a great reason to be up. So what you
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: think of Aaron Rodgers' comments that he was bummed out
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: that the game wasn't being played in Green Bay?
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I shared him. I shared him. I was very disappointed.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I thought I thought the NFL should have done a
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: little IOEU. We had the conversation earlier today of like,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: how it matters if he plays or not, It won't
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: change what the overall viewing is. It would be very
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: very I would be very bummed though, if the game
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: was in Green Bay and he did play, he doesn't
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: play an act for sure, I'll feel okay about it.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I'm with you, and I just don't. I
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: just don't think he's gonna So these schedules, though, are out.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I mean they're not out, but there it seems like
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you play the same opponent in the non conference year
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: after year, doesn't it?
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: The preseason a lot of times is is some deals
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: That's a good point.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Nels they've been playing the Steelers every single year in
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: the in the preseason there bit.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: They have played them a couple of times since that.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: In twenty fifteen, they went on a run where I
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: think they've played the Browns each of the last couple
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: of years.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: They stunted it that one.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: I assume they'll play the Cardinals for the next three years,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: right until Mike is fired.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would think they could lay that in and.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I would that they'll do something there with a joint practice.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: They've now played the Broncos the last couple of years
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: of Infinity.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe for Sean, I wonder if you can put a
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: request in as to who you'd like to play for me.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: It seems like the Bears always play the Browns, they
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: always play the Bills, and they always play the Chiefs.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: It just seems like those are the three teams they play.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, it feels like a Bears
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Bills preseason game has been happening since I was in
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: first rate.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's the case, but it
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: just seems like preseason.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm excited for the Bears and Colts battles
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: that are coming up here pretty soon.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Indiana, That's what I'm saying.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, big announcement maybe today, Billy you were saying I was.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I was reading yesterday online that apparently there is a
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: an expected Bears stadium announcement coming later on here today
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: of maybe not like a full finalized deal, but one
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: that is is getting closer and closer.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Gary Bears, the Gary Bears, maybe Aim and Gary.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Why not Indiana Bears. Yeah.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Something called Ben Divine is the one that had said
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: a finalized stadium deal is expected tomorrow, with the Chicago
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Bears landing in Indiana. Per source, Indiana is so heavily
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: incentivizing the deal as to include a name change to
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Indiana and the team name when the stadium completes. That
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: shockingly had four point four million views. Yes, but David
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Hall of The Score and and formally I think of
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: The Sun Times had said that sources indicate the Bears
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: are expected to make an announcement regarding the stadium project.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: They haven't addressed it for months.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Bears rep in state officials across the border that they'll
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: want to hear what the team has to say, raising
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: hopes again. So we'll see. It should be interesting coming
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: up here later on. Maybe there's a little confirmation as
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: to where they're going.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I would still be surprised if they end up across
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: the state line, although that basically is still the Chicago area.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think people that live there really consider themselves
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Colts fans.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I would think more Chicago correct.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: I've known a lot of people of yours that live
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: there and commute into the city.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: It's almost the house for half the tax.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: They think they're Southsiders. Yeah, basically, socks, fans and stuff
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: down there. They think they're Southsiders, and a lot of
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: the Chicago is on the south side. It is closer than Indiana.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: We've talked about this, you know, it's not just where.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: You know. But in the end, is this all just
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: a game of chicken for Arlington? This is so interesting.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I think it's a game of chicken somewhere in Illinois
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: with the Illinois legislature and the government all that stuff.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think it is a game of chicken.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: But it's just ridiculous that it's gotten what.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: They might walk it all the way up to the
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: point where it's like, all right, we're calling we're doing it.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: We had to call through this. We're doing Indiana. Yeah,
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: I mean nuts, because if you want to see Snoopy
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: and Prickly Pete right drew the horses. George costanz has
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: got two horses, so that you have to go all
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: the way to the end. Now, I don't believe the
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Indiana Bears part though, that's hard to believe.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: But you never know.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Do you think the Lakers will be sold yesterday by
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: biker you.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Know, for two billion more than they were last year?
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Two and a half billion a half billion more Jesus
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: flip teams. Now they're flipping teams like houses. My man,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Mark Walter, one of the best return rollis you've ever
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: seen in the entire world. One year, had the Lakers
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: turned in an extra two point five billion, he sat
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: and watched his team play for a year and then
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: flipped him for two and and you know what, he
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: just covered the bill on Atani, Mark Walter, owner of
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers. It just covered the bill and quadrupled it
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: for the seven hundred million or six hundred and eighty
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: two million if they still all Atani.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: If you can afford a team anywhere, La would be
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the play other than the Cowboys, because they're kind of
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: gonna they just got. The Cowboys just got evaluated as.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: The highest and most profitable, most valuable franchise at fifteen
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: and a half billion billion, and then the Rams are second, right,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: and they reportedly were talking about the Vegas franchise. It's
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: gonna cost ten billion dollars to get into the NBA.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: They're like, why on earth would we do that and
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: then have to build a brand. If all we got
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: to do is pay an extra two and a half
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: and we get the biggest one.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Like the rebuild project in Milwaukee on ninety four. Good
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Christ keeps going up.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Mark Welter from Iowa. By the way, I didn't know that.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I was not aware of that. Creighton University can make
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: it big if you go to the Northwestern for his
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: smart guy Guggenheim Partners. Well, he owns the Dodgers and
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: no longer the Lakers. No longer the Lakers, but pretty
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: good situation. Rapids, Yeah, gets done, Okay, the Sparks and
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: he's got all those teams. I think he also controls
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Chelsea in the.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, yeah.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Also, isn't that that grouping of the sports investments?
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, brands are left for him that I mean, that's wild.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: Budge held the Lakers.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he sold the Lakers and made two and a
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: half billions, made two and a half billion to Bob
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Iger and Josh Kushner Jared's brother.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Kushner a parent's baby brother. One of the
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: big guys that that has a large sum of the money.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: And Bob Iger uh runs Disney and then he's like,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna retire, but I gotta have something.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be so bored. If I don't do something,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I might as well own the Lakers.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: When I hear stories like this, I always thinking, when
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I retire, I'm gone. I'm going to enjoy retirement. But
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I guess some people just always have to be doing
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: something of my pop said too.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: And now all of a sudden he's delivering a couple
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: of days a week.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I got to get out of the house.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Was he doing the door dash thing or something or what?
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: You did anything and everything.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's a little bit of cash in the pocket,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: big bills getting in Good God, What am I gonna.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Do with Mark Walter also is the main guy for
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Andretti Global Racing World. How many more can we Indy
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: and he his the spinoff Gamebridge. The insurance company that
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: they have is the Gamebridge field House. Oh yeah, and
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Indy bought the NEMA rights there. I wonder if he'll
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: be in Milwaukee in a couple of weeks for Indy Racing.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: That's coming to the question. Good question, very much mine.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for that he'll be in Milwaukee if he
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: wants to see the Dodgers play in the playoffs. Maybe
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: because I will be watching him this weekend. Probably, Yeah,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: actually I think they were.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: I think he was sitting right there in the those
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: sweet owner's seats, right and right alongside last last year,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I had to look at his.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Oh wild, do you see Anton Ausio and l in
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: in San Diego. He just looked like any other Joe
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: out there hanging out washing now like a two day beer,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: a hoodie on. I wonder if I wonder if he
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: helicoptered to that game or if he actually had. You know,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: there's some nice places to stay in San Diego, probably
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: be some good ocean front. I've made that trip. I've
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: made that drive, but it's been a long time. What
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: is it an hour and a half?
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: Two hours we talked about.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I thought it was about three.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: To love it when their play the Dodgers or the Angels,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Dodgers uh and Padres and had a day off in between,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I would stay at like the Dana Point Marriotte in
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: between beautiful, Yeah, Cliff there, it's amazing set. I just
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: remember a lot of nothing on that trip back in
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: the day. You know, the marine base is down there
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: in ocean side that area. But yeah, once you get
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: out of Orange County, it gets a little it's a
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: little it's it's not a very exciting drive, for sure.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I heard it's a great train ride. It can be
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: and it can be a long drive at any time of.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: The day, anytime.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: And I made that drive once, like after midnight, and
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: it's like, where the hell are all these people going
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: between San Diego. Yeah, I've never did, you know, just
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: despite the fact that I lived there a long time,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I never made that drive all the way up Pacific
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Coast Highway to the top of California.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: I've heard that's incredible, have fun, you've done parts of it.
• 36:09

• 37:35
  Speaker 2: a little Who's Hot Who's Not? Brought to us by
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Donovan Jorgenson, heating and cooling employee owned best agevac in
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: the area, Donovan Jorgenson dot com Billy.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Who do you like?
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Sadly Alex pregnant three for three last night, seven RBIs
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: on three homers for the Cubs as they shrink the
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Brewers lead in the NL Central.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: The Brewers hit three homers in a week.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good problem.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Many weeks have they gone with hitting three homers in
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: a week? That's a great if you went through the
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: entire season, how many would it be?
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Again, it is like, how are they fifth in the
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: league in run score? We might have to put Hunter
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: on that on his flight home. That might that might
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: that might.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: That might have to be a plane study for a
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Hunter to roll through. But in the not category they lived,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: and they actually nearly had the hot category renamed after
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: the Boston Red Sox. They went twenty seven and three
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: over thirty games drew. They've now lost five straight games
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: as they drop one to the Blue Jays yesterday. So
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: all's in all folks near Fenway and Yanquewei very frustrated.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Sky might be falling there again in Boston because they
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: might have blown their wide trying to get back into
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: the race. Now let's see if they have enough to
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: be able to stay in it. Regression is real, it
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: starked there as well. And three it's gonna what's gonna
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: happen next? Also, hottest team in baseball or the hottest
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: team in baseball is also now the best team in baseball.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: The Tampa Bay Rays take that over over the Brewers
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: with a half game lead now for the best record
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: in baseball and a five hundredths of a point winning
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: percentage better with a nine game winning streak, And they
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: thumped the A's in that minor league park in Sacramento
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: over the last couple of days ten to six, twelve, four,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: eight four yesterday, and Junior Camonaro now has thirty five
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: bombs on the year, just catering all over that place,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: and as well, one of the other teams that has
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: remained as one of the hotter teams in ball, Houston Astros.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: They lead the AL West.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: The Brewers are going to see the team that a
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: lot of people thought was going to be leading the
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: AL West, the Seattle Mariners, who are now five and
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: a half games back. They lose six straight games at
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: this moment, so they'll probably win the final game of
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: their series coming up on Sunday and then come in
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: feeling red hot at ten games under five hundred. Right, So,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: for the way the Brewers are rolling right now, that
• 39:50
