- 2:46Speaker 2: Whether that's a old was that Mountain Dew.
- 2:50Speaker 5: Kickstart that that they were at the Yeah, that was
- 2:53Speaker 5: that's whether it's one of those per armament it was
- 2:55Speaker 5: Joel Kola, Joel Cola or Surge. I was gonna say Surge,
- 2:59Speaker 5: was there point put some respect on Searge White can
- 3:04Speaker 5: Monster or just a little Cathba in your cup. Whatever
- 3:07Speaker 5: it is, we'll be that little shot of cream there
- 3:10Speaker 5: to help that thing out and give it a little flavor,
- 3:13Speaker 5: because otherwise.
- 3:13Speaker 2: It's just just let just let yeah, there you go. Yeah,
- 3:18Speaker 2: so just hit us up.
- 3:19Speaker 6: We are your wake up call on this Thursday, and
- 3:21Speaker 6: we are basking in the glow. Not a pretty game,
- 3:25Speaker 6: not a pretty series for your Milwaukee Brewers, but with
- 3:28Speaker 6: ruthless and you know, braves like efficiency, they went in,
- 3:33Speaker 6: came saw conquered. The Cincinnati Reds didn't hit much with
- 3:37Speaker 6: scoring with runs and scoring position. When they finally did
- 3:39Speaker 6: break through and get a bunch of hits, put up
- 3:41Speaker 6: some runs, but the pitching just hanging on by the
- 3:44Speaker 6: thread because they didn't get one of those cy young
- 3:47Speaker 6: type starts yesterday. And they got a couple of well
- 3:50Speaker 6: placed double plays. What's more exciting? A walk off home run, snatch,
- 3:55Speaker 6: a walk off double play with the bases loaded, a
- 3:58Speaker 6: walk off out of your glove, Cooper, They're all pretty exciting.
- 4:02Speaker 4: My heart's getting holy cow. But you know what, it
- 4:05Speaker 4: was awesome and we're not getting spoiled, are we. I mean,
- 4:08Speaker 4: talk about a sweep and it's like, oh, it wasn't pretty.
- 4:10Speaker 2: I'm in that way.
- 4:11Speaker 4: Hey, you get those dubs, it's pretty it's pretty I
- 4:13Speaker 4: don't want to get too spoiled because the Brewers have
- 4:16Speaker 4: found so many ways to win. They've made it look
- 4:17Speaker 4: so easy that we're just getting so used to it
- 4:19Speaker 4: that we're like, what do you mean?
- 4:20Speaker 2: They made it close?
- 4:22Speaker 6: But in most games like that, so you're up six
- 4:24Speaker 6: to one, and most games like that, you kind of
- 4:27Speaker 6: you feel like, Okay, it's not our night, right, like
- 4:29Speaker 6: Grant Anderson and like guys who've pitched well, and they
- 4:31Speaker 6: put you in peril.
- 4:33Speaker 2: They put your right back into the most teams.
- 4:36Speaker 6: When you're when you puke away, you know, most of
- 4:38Speaker 6: a big lead like that, it's like you can't stop
- 4:40Speaker 6: the snowball from rolling. You don't get the double play
- 4:42Speaker 6: to end the game with kuon All, and you don't
- 4:44Speaker 6: you know, it's like whoa.
- 4:46Speaker 5: And Kuonall being the high leverage guy. That's the other
- 4:49Speaker 5: one where all of a sudden you pinch yourself thinking
- 4:51Speaker 5: they can't just do this again.
- 4:52Speaker 2: They can't just do this again? Right?
- 4:53Speaker 5: But old cash Cash Considerations one of the absolute stars
- 4:58Speaker 5: I was really waiting for. Cash Cans Iterations have a
- 5:00Speaker 5: big year for the Bucks coming up in twenty six
- 5:02Speaker 5: twenty seven, won't we'll get more into that more, but hey,
- 5:05Speaker 5: cash considerations was a part of it for the Brewers
- 5:07Speaker 5: right there in Joe Kunel.
- 5:08Speaker 2: And when you're able to grab motor City.
- 5:11Speaker 5: Dan Campbell in a baseball uniform and he's able to
- 5:15Speaker 5: bite kneecaps off like he did there in that ninth
- 5:17Speaker 5: inning after a four out save, that was awesome because
- 5:21Speaker 5: when you know that you're going into it somewhat undermanned
- 5:23Speaker 5: in that bullpen without your top three guys, that was
- 5:26Speaker 5: the best the question that you're wondering. Then, Okay, Grant
- 5:29Speaker 5: Anderson can't find anything close to the strike zone. Looked
- 5:32Speaker 5: like Patrick didn't have quite his stuff as well. Okay,
- 5:36Speaker 5: this just might be one that you end up chalking up,
- 5:38Speaker 5: but instead you win it and you come out of
- 5:40Speaker 5: it with a winning road trip. Like the types of
- 5:43Speaker 5: games that they've played in this six game series, one
- 5:48Speaker 5: of the teams is gonna be in the playoffs. One
- 5:49Speaker 5: of them is definitely not in the Cincinnati Reds. But
- 5:51Speaker 5: it felt like all of them ended up being playoff games, and.
- 5:53Speaker 4: They're not gonna all be video game type wins, but
- 5:56Speaker 4: they're all you know, if they're all wins, they're all
- 5:58Speaker 4: great because that's the true beauty in a win like
- 6:00Speaker 4: last night, you're you're down your top three leverage relievers.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Obviously you REBA.
- 6:05Speaker 4: Had the suspension, Ashby unavailable, McGill unavailable, and so here
- 6:10Speaker 4: it is, we have to find a way to survive
- 6:11Speaker 4: with who we have, and the true depth of the
- 6:13Speaker 4: roster and the organizational depth was tested, and you're right, Billy,
- 6:17Speaker 4: the cash considerations came through.
- 6:19Speaker 2: It wasn't the most beautiful outing.
- 6:20Speaker 4: But it was the one that got the job done
- 6:22Speaker 4: and got the dub and the most important situation that
- 6:25Speaker 4: the ground ball I thought a gift by the Cincinnati Red.
- 6:28Speaker 2: So let us have that free out in the bunt.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Nice play by Koonel there, even though he was struggling
- 6:32Speaker 4: through to get that ball over the third. That was awesome.
- 6:34Speaker 4: And that was, you know, in a win. You know,
- 6:37Speaker 4: we're nearly nitpicking here, right in a win that was
- 6:40Speaker 4: I guess, quote unquote so flawed. That was the true
- 6:42Speaker 4: beauty of what it is finding a way, like you said,
- 6:44Speaker 4: Drew to win those games and those type of type
- 6:47Speaker 4: of circumstances.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Shane Drowen, you know, hey wasn't amazing, but he.
- 6:51Speaker 4: Was pretty good. Didn't give up a run four and
- 6:54Speaker 4: a third doing the job. So great job by the
- 6:56Speaker 4: guys in Bowers just continuing, I mean obviously while Bill
- 7:00Speaker 4: had the I love that, I love a home run
- 7:02Speaker 4: that can bounce like that, wild build the Homer, but
- 7:04Speaker 4: then back to back powers, just continuing an absolute you
- 7:08Speaker 4: know career year one he'll always remember and it and
- 7:12Speaker 4: the heater continues for him. So awesome Brewers, get the
- 7:15Speaker 4: get the sweet lest It was pretty sweet.
- 7:17Speaker 6: And you know the Yoho experience. Didn't someone just say
- 7:20Speaker 6: on the show they wanted to see more of Yoho.
- 7:21Speaker 2: And that was our friend Hunter Bombguards. Yeah here yo,
- 7:25Speaker 2: he saw him, you saw him, saw him.
- 7:26Speaker 6: Well, they had a great pitch, one pitch that's it
- 7:29Speaker 6: on and then come back and.
- 7:30Speaker 5: Yeah see now if that was all you had to see,
- 7:32Speaker 5: it would have been a would have been a good outing. Yeah,
- 7:34Speaker 5: but like the Yo Yo, Yoho had to come on
- 7:37Speaker 5: back to you and then ultimately, uh spit one back
- 7:39Speaker 5: for you. You mentioned it with Jake Bowers. Anybody on
- 7:42Speaker 5: The Brewers this year make themselves more money than Jake
- 7:47Speaker 5: Bowers because there's some guys making themselves a huge, huge
- 7:49Speaker 5: cash with the series the years that they're putting up right.
- 7:52Speaker 5: Every time Bryce Terrang steps on the field, his his
- 7:55Speaker 5: cost goes hop. But from Bowers in a year to
- 8:01Speaker 5: year damn near minimum contract guy to.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Barely hanging on the league type of guy, it'd.
- 8:06Speaker 5: Be a borderline All star with nearly an nine hundred
- 8:09Speaker 5: ops through three months.
- 8:11Speaker 2: That's pretty trippy. That's pretty incredible.
- 8:13Speaker 5: And at thirty years old, Drew, he might have just
- 8:14Speaker 5: made his his entire MLB career with this kind of year.
- 8:18Speaker 6: So though it was a white knuckler last night, hanging
- 8:21Speaker 6: on by their fingernails, they get the sweep, they move
- 8:23Speaker 6: twenty over. What a great cushion that is getting momentum.
- 8:27Speaker 6: It doesn't feel like they're sputtering and wheezing to the
- 8:29Speaker 6: All Star break, but they're getting it.
- 8:31Speaker 2: They're going to enter a stretch of you know where.
- 8:33Speaker 6: They will start to it's a pretty pretty grueling stretch
- 8:36Speaker 6: off day to day going into the Cubs. And you'll
- 8:40Speaker 6: go into the cubs with Euribay, with mcguil, with Ashby
- 8:45Speaker 6: all rested, fresh powder in the bullpen, and Kaney coming back.
- 8:49Speaker 6: Because Yoho was packing his bags after the game, know
- 8:52Speaker 6: Kaney is coming back. So there's another arm that. Now,
- 8:55Speaker 6: he might not be great right away. A lot of
- 8:57Speaker 6: times it's not plug and play, but if you can
- 9:00Speaker 6: find a spot to use him in, like a softer spot, cool,
- 9:04Speaker 6: get him rolling and then this bullpen like they need
- 9:06Speaker 6: to lengthen this bullpen a little bit. Yes, I was
- 9:08Speaker 6: talking to our buddy Mike Keller on his podcast The
- 9:11Speaker 6: I Love Mondays. It's funny because you got a guy
- 9:12Speaker 6: who loves Mondays a guy who hates Mondays.
- 9:14Speaker 5: Right, it's a good counterbounds boomtown Rats in that one.
- 9:17Speaker 6: Bob yelled off. You guys don't get that reference. But
- 9:19Speaker 6: there's a song called I Don't Like Mondays by the
- 9:20Speaker 6: Boomtown Rats.
- 9:21Speaker 2: I'm Garfield right there. So you, Mike, I gotta gona
- 9:26Speaker 2: go back and listen to this.
- 9:27Speaker 6: It's a it's a dark song, man, it's just about
- 9:30Speaker 6: a it's about a school shooting.
- 9:31Speaker 2: So I shouldn't bump that first. Yeah that you shouldn't
- 9:36Speaker 2: be laughing. I did not think that.
- 9:39Speaker 4: Yeah, it's five to ten and I'm thinking I got
- 9:42Speaker 4: the first bump. Oh yeah, the five o'clock club. Yep,
- 9:47Speaker 4: all right, well I guess that old point.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Okay, Well, you should listen to it, but you should.
- 9:51Speaker 2: You should listen to the I Love Monday's podcast.
- 9:53Speaker 5: You should like subscribe, unsubscribed, subscribe.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Just continue to hammer that thing. You get that algorithm.
- 9:59Speaker 6: Sorry, you're saying school shooting in the late seventies too,
- 10:01Speaker 6: So it was wow, That's why it was. So he
- 10:05Speaker 6: became regular occurrences, less shocked and still horror horrific. But anyway,
- 10:10Speaker 6: that's you know, life inspires art sometimes, just like we
- 10:13Speaker 6: do every day on the show Life, the sports stories
- 10:16Speaker 6: of the day inspire us to talk about things like,
- 10:18Speaker 6: you know, like it mondays. But I was with Heller
- 10:20Speaker 6: and I told him he I said, what was this
- 10:21Speaker 6: team neat? And I said, well, you could make the
- 10:23Speaker 6: case of the power bat, I pointed out, and he's
- 10:26Speaker 6: been skating a little bit south Freelick's dip in production
- 10:28Speaker 6: mm hm. And everybody says, well, they're not getting any
- 10:31Speaker 6: power out a third base, I think, and any power
- 10:33Speaker 6: out of right field either, when you know, and Freelick
- 10:35Speaker 6: had to be basically relegated kind of. And well, Bowers
- 10:38Speaker 6: has been a great but you know, he's kind of
- 10:41Speaker 6: a guy, like do you want to commit to him?
- 10:43Speaker 6: Is he your you know, is he going to be
- 10:44Speaker 6: your first baseman. Could he be like your full time
- 10:47Speaker 6: for I like them mixing invoing, he gets a big
- 10:50Speaker 6: hit totally, you know last night and a bad matchup
- 10:52Speaker 6: for the Reds.
- 10:53Speaker 2: I'd hitten for Mitchell.
- 10:55Speaker 5: I think either one of them drew in a different situation,
- 10:58Speaker 5: would have now taken over the reins and in the
- 11:00Speaker 5: full time first basement.
- 11:01Speaker 6: Yeah, but the reason they're both so productive is because
- 11:03Speaker 6: of how they're using them, right, Yeah, it's like that
- 11:06Speaker 6: is the deal.
- 11:06Speaker 2: And that's what I don't understand.
- 11:08Speaker 5: This guy's so good, let's let's play him more. Well,
- 11:11Speaker 5: it's working, yeah, but they have found different ways. I
- 11:13Speaker 5: mean like this, Yeah, he's not that Bower's hurting for
- 11:16Speaker 5: a bats. He's carrying the team a little. Basically, he's
- 11:18Speaker 5: basically now in everyday player, whether it's in the outfield
- 11:22Speaker 5: or over at first act and sal like you said,
- 11:25Speaker 5: quietly relegated without big pomp and circumstance. He is your
- 11:28Speaker 5: fourth outfielder, in your defensive replacement.
- 11:31Speaker 6: And why and so why do Yeah, it's like, oh,
- 11:32Speaker 6: we're not getting anything ot of third base, Well how
- 11:34Speaker 6: about right field?
- 11:35Speaker 4: Then?
- 11:35Speaker 2: Okay? And then Luis Laras tearing it up.
- 11:38Speaker 5: Gives me some thought that it at least adds to
- 11:41Speaker 5: the different places that you possibly could upgrade coming up
- 11:45Speaker 5: at the deadline.
- 11:46Speaker 6: But the one thing that keeps coming back is back
- 11:48Speaker 6: of the bullpen arms. You can't have enough of those.
- 11:50Speaker 6: Another solid guy, veteran guy with to mix in with
- 11:53Speaker 6: your rebay and it's not a closer type. Doesn't have
- 11:55Speaker 6: to be Mason Miller, no, but a guy who can
- 11:57Speaker 6: pitch in that mix. Maybe someone who's closed games, but
- 12:00Speaker 6: but someone who can pitch seven, eight nine and add
- 12:02Speaker 6: to that stable because.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Like last year's Jared Kanig.
- 12:07Speaker 6: Yeah, well, as great as the bullpen has been, like
- 12:09Speaker 6: you just need like what if somebody goes down and
- 12:11Speaker 6: you see it, you know what if you're able to
- 12:14Speaker 6: absorb one of those, If you have another guy, I
- 12:17Speaker 6: feel a little bit better.
- 12:18Speaker 5: You're also able to absorb more of last night, which
- 12:21Speaker 5: is a four and a third inning start right and
- 12:23Speaker 5: into the playoffs. Even if MS is going averaging six
- 12:27Speaker 5: and a half seven innings right now, you gotta be
- 12:30Speaker 5: holding back and waiting for the playoffs when you do
- 12:34Speaker 5: know you're gonna unleash guys a little bit sooner and
- 12:36Speaker 5: a little bit earlier. Yeah, getting Knig back now, I
- 12:39Speaker 5: think is huge for the idea of you get three
- 12:42Speaker 5: to four weeks to figure out if you think he's
- 12:44Speaker 5: gonna be one of the pieces in that bullpen this year. Yeah,
- 12:47Speaker 5: before the deadline, to know, all right, we need one
- 12:50Speaker 5: or we need two.
- 12:50Speaker 6: More guys that we can really not gonna be the
- 12:53Speaker 6: five day a week Knig, I don't think. But we'll
- 12:55Speaker 6: just see what you got and get him back in
- 12:57Speaker 6: the in the mix. Right at eleven appearances in that rehab,
- 13:02Speaker 6: that's a long rehabbit rehab.
- 13:05Speaker 5: But he also correct me if I'm wrong. He really
- 13:07Speaker 5: didn't have much of a spring training, so this is
- 13:09Speaker 5: a this is a full boot up during the season.
- 13:12Speaker 5: It had seventy something appearances a year ago, and it's
- 13:15Speaker 5: a different intensity than rehab as opposed to the big league.
- 13:18Speaker 2: So we'll see.
- 13:18Speaker 6: But that's intriguing, and that's if you have a solid arm,
- 13:22Speaker 6: especially with him, you know he's a good option.
- 13:25Speaker 2: So this weekend pitching doesn't line up any better.
- 13:27Speaker 5: You have the full bullpen ready to roll, and you
- 13:29Speaker 5: have Miserowski, Harrison Woodruff, that's your three in a playoff rotation,
- 13:33Speaker 5: and it's going to get unleashed. Against the Cubs at
- 13:35Speaker 5: home this weekend, and I would assume it's going to
- 13:37Speaker 5: be a RACKUS crowd Apple TV coming up tomorrow night.
- 13:41Speaker 5: Every national outlet wants a little bit of a piece
- 13:43Speaker 5: of Miserowski, and these are this last year, a week
- 13:48Speaker 5: before was a tipping point in the year where if
- 13:50Speaker 5: the Brewers went down and lost that series in Chicago,
- 13:53Speaker 5: they would have been nine and a half, almost ten
- 13:55Speaker 5: games back, and instead they split that three game, became
- 13:59Speaker 5: a two game with a rain out series on June nineteenth,
- 14:02Speaker 5: and then just continue to catapult in two weeks later
- 14:05Speaker 5: they started their thirty and four run. I'm not saying
- 14:08Speaker 5: that it's gonna be for sure a tipping point for
- 14:10Speaker 5: either way, but the Cubs are coming in here playing
- 14:12Speaker 5: a little bit better than they have over the last month,
- 14:15Speaker 5: so they'll feel somewhat good. Now you get their three
- 14:18Speaker 5: biggest horses to line up and say, if you think
- 14:20Speaker 5: you're gonna chase us down, this is what you gotta
- 14:23Speaker 5: go through. I love the planning, I love the foresight,
- 14:26Speaker 5: and I love how it maps up starting up to Marrow.
- 14:27Speaker 5: That's a good point, Billy.
- 14:28Speaker 4: The Cubs yesterday scored twenty runs to the two wins
- 14:32Speaker 4: a doubleheader against the Mets, ten runs in each, So
- 14:35Speaker 4: they are starting to play a little better. You know,
- 14:37Speaker 4: the talents on that team. I think we all understand
- 14:39Speaker 4: the potential they have. So why not try and be
- 14:43Speaker 4: vigilant and take this, you know, approach this series as
- 14:47Speaker 4: such and try and keep putting more distance between you
- 14:50Speaker 4: and your foes. I think, as you cross the desert
- 14:52Speaker 4: of an MLB season, what it is you understand here
- 14:55Speaker 4: in June twenty fifth, there's gonna be there's gonna be
- 14:58Speaker 4: some tougher spots. There's gonna be some moments where teams
- 15:00Speaker 4: are going to take runs at you in the central
- 15:02Speaker 4: and you would have to imagine the Cubs are going
- 15:04Speaker 4: to be one of them. So yeah, I like that
- 15:06Speaker 4: Billy Tay, you know, approach it as it is, you know,
- 15:09Speaker 4: in terms of, hey, we need to try and you know,
- 15:12Speaker 4: keep our foot.
- 15:12Speaker 2: On the neck of these guys and not get them any.
- 15:14Speaker 4: Hope because things can obviously change in those head to
- 15:17Speaker 4: head So it's gonna be a lot of fun, uh
- 15:19Speaker 4: coming up and definitely going to be a banger of
- 15:21Speaker 4: a series, But I think.
- 15:22Speaker 2: A day to enjoy.
- 15:23Speaker 4: Yesterday you talked about the platoons, Drew, I thought about
- 15:25Speaker 4: when Andrew Vaughan got his big pinch.
- 15:27Speaker 2: Hit double uh, clearing the basis.
- 15:29Speaker 4: You know, what Andrew Vaughn has done against lefties has
- 15:31Speaker 4: been incredible. The Reds didn't go with the righty. I
- 15:34Speaker 4: was kind of shocked about that. Little moves like that. Right,
- 15:37Speaker 4: you're creating good players out of multiple players in the
- 15:40Speaker 4: aggregate by using platoons, so to what you were talking
- 15:43Speaker 4: about with Bowers and Freelick just made me think of that.
- 15:46Speaker 2: But that's the goal is to have depth.
- 15:48Speaker 6: Keep them coming at eight seven, seven, seven, nine four
- 15:50Speaker 6: to one, so three comments already on the YouTube stream.
- 15:52Speaker 6: Here's one from the nine too. Oh good morning boys,
- 15:55Speaker 6: checking in from absolute soaker in Green Bay.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
- 16:00Speaker 6: Nice Armon's always talking about wanting too much at once.
- 16:03Speaker 6: Though my road looked like Venice for a while the
- 16:06Speaker 6: videos I saw from the west side of Green Bay,
- 16:08Speaker 6: I'm like, holy cow, that looks like an ocean front
- 16:11Speaker 6: place after a hurricane.
- 16:13Speaker 5: I was gonna say it looked like Fort Myers instead
- 16:15Speaker 5: of instead of Appleton and Green Bay. My man Marcus
- 16:19Speaker 5: put up a video in his entire sidewalk was just
- 16:23Speaker 5: a pond. Wow, that was a crazy, crazy storm last
- 16:26Speaker 5: night in a sooker. It also came in like like
- 16:28Speaker 5: a wave of three. It was like an appetizer, a
- 16:31Speaker 5: main course, and then last bit. Uh, would you like
- 16:34Speaker 5: dessert with that meal? No, I think we're pretty stuff. No,
- 16:36Speaker 5: actually we already got big old chocolate cake for you.
- 16:39Speaker 2: That thing was. That was a serious one yesterday. But
- 16:41Speaker 2: now it.
- 16:42Speaker 5: Warms up and clears up here for the for the
- 16:44Speaker 5: rest of the weekend across the state, hopefully, because I
- 16:46Speaker 5: think we could all dry up a little bit.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Yeah, they need some up there in the in the valley.
- 16:49Speaker 4: But yeah, wow did it Did it really come down
- 16:51Speaker 4: last I saw some of the images of that. I
- 16:53Speaker 4: thought I saw some hail too, So the weather was
- 16:55Speaker 4: probably mixing up there. And uh, but that's the that's
- 16:58Speaker 4: the time you mentioned, Drew, the weather. It's gonna be
- 17:00Speaker 4: cool tomorrow and nice this weekend, and then we're gonna
- 17:03Speaker 4: get finally that hot, sweaty, nasty summer.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Weather the time people want.
- 17:08Speaker 4: That's what I want. Yeah, well you're by the lakes,
- 17:10Speaker 4: so you get them waiting on it. Yeah, I got
- 17:11Speaker 4: the big coolerness. That's the cooler privilege that Yeah, by
- 17:13Speaker 4: the Lakes. Yeah, but it's uh sweet Vinnie from Makwan
- 17:17Speaker 4: checking in present.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Thanks Vinnie.
- 17:19Speaker 4: I'm gonna pull up what number you are in the
- 17:21Speaker 4: five o'clock club. I should have that printed out at
- 17:23Speaker 4: all times with an updated list. I'm gonna get you
- 17:25Speaker 4: guys that. Yeah, I'll letting you know. We were scramble
- 17:28Speaker 4: this morning.
- 17:28Speaker 2: But I'm gonna get you guys that. And Eddie and
- 17:30Speaker 2: Stallas with like nine texts already to the YouTube. That's
- 17:33Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. All of your brother just mixing a.
- 17:35Speaker 4: Water, That's all I'm Jay and Bayview hits us up.
- 17:39Speaker 6: Two part question for us. Do you think they're gonna
- 17:42Speaker 6: paint over the Yannis mural?
- 17:43Speaker 2: Oh? Come on, I was. I thought we were gonna
- 17:46Speaker 2: do that for Hot Take hump Day yesterday.
- 17:48Speaker 6: Uh then he said, he said, uh, you know, I
- 17:50Speaker 6: don't know if any active player that's playing in a
- 17:52Speaker 6: different city has their mural still up in their original city.
- 17:54Speaker 6: Second part, do you personally think they should paint over it?
- 17:57Speaker 6: That's Jay and bay View says he's number twenty four.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Uh.
- 18:00Speaker 6: Well, the answer to that, sir, is no. Because they
- 18:04Speaker 6: interviewed the guy who owns the building and he said,
- 18:07Speaker 6: as long as I'm gonna around it, staying honest. Yeah,
- 18:09Speaker 6: he's not playing now.
- 18:11Speaker 5: I would I would have wondered if earlier on they
- 18:14Speaker 5: would have built onto it and added more of the
- 18:16Speaker 5: championship guys. Nice, but I mean it's it's it's Gianni's
- 18:20Speaker 5: full back like and I get there have been the
- 18:23Speaker 5: The lebron one in Cleveland is probably the easiest one
- 18:26Speaker 5: where they kind of just covered it up.
- 18:28Speaker 2: But uh, I think it's different. I just totally is.
- 18:31Speaker 2: I I think it's very very weird.
- 18:33Speaker 5: It's gonna be very very weird when when he comes
- 18:35Speaker 5: in with Miami. But you're never taking away twenty twenty one, Nope,
- 18:40Speaker 5: So you might as well keep it up and remember
- 18:42Speaker 5: it forever. The fifth year anniversary this year, so you know.
- 18:45Speaker 6: And I'm just boy, it's become a shrine where people
- 18:47Speaker 6: are going and dropping off tributes and stuff.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Fucking cheeks. But listen, listen, it's just a tough thing
- 18:53Speaker 2: to hug a wall. It's hard to do it.
- 18:55Speaker 4: And it's not like one of those Wings deals where
- 18:57Speaker 4: you're in Nashville and everyone's standing.
- 18:59Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not. It's he's not the big photo lot
- 19:01Speaker 2: that you would think.
- 19:01Speaker 4: You might think, listen, I'm just gonna say this because
- 19:04Speaker 4: it just recently went up and he just left. The
- 19:07Speaker 4: timing might seem weird, but I don't think there's any
- 19:09Speaker 4: reason to cover it up a because it's a very
- 19:11Speaker 4: nice artist rendition.
- 19:12Speaker 2: He did a lot of work, And.
- 19:13Speaker 4: Second of all, I don't think the feeling is not
- 19:17Speaker 4: the same. Like you said, Billy, to win, Lebron left
- 19:19Speaker 4: town and Giannis did win a championship, and he did
- 19:21Speaker 4: spend thirteen years here, which, by the way, was the
- 19:24Speaker 4: same amount of time that guys like Bird and Magic
- 19:26Speaker 4: and Jordan played at one place. And if you do
- 19:29Speaker 4: it now, you're gonna regret it later because our feelings
- 19:31Speaker 4: are gonna change. Time's gonna heal us a little bit more,
- 19:33Speaker 4: and there's gonna be a time when we say, man,
- 19:35Speaker 4: we should still have that giannas Virel up here. And
- 19:37Speaker 4: the building is nice and it doesn't mean it smacks
- 19:39Speaker 4: you in the face all the time. More public art
- 19:42Speaker 4: is never a bad thing, right, So maybe you're your point, Drew,
- 19:45Speaker 4: We could add to it at some point, you know,
- 19:47Speaker 4: put other members of that team there, or other figures,
- 19:49Speaker 4: or maybe Billy.
- 19:51Speaker 2: I don't know how many times they gotta say it.
- 19:52Speaker 4: We'll start up a little MVP park action in Milwaukee
- 19:55Speaker 4: and have murals on a lot of our all time
- 19:57Speaker 4: greats in town.
- 20:00Speaker 2: You know, not that I came before and no one
- 20:03Speaker 2: listens to me, but.
- 20:04Speaker 6: Hey, there you go, well played, well played. Thanks to
- 20:07Speaker 6: everybody for checking in, getting a lot of folks saying hello,
- 20:10Speaker 6: love the five o'clock clubbers.
- 20:12Speaker 5: We'd love the five o'clock Clubbers, the morning five o'clock clubbers,
- 20:15Speaker 5: But there was a five o'clock clubber yesterday that was
- 20:18Speaker 5: hanging out in Hunter's.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Five o'clock club.
- 20:20Speaker 5: A cool question in here from Ronda that I think
- 20:22Speaker 5: we get into here in the in the five o'clock club.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Bring it back throughout us. So we get some fun
- 20:26Speaker 2: stuff here. Oh yeah, let's go.
- 20:27Speaker 6: We got a recap from Hunter Bomguard to the Burrs
- 20:30Speaker 6: series clinching victory, and we've got a little fashion discussion
- 20:36Speaker 6: at Arman's place.
- 20:37Speaker 2: We got to talk about.
- 20:38Speaker 6: Oh yes, we got to talk about this off the air,
- 20:41Speaker 6: and like, how could you not tell us this?
- 20:43Speaker 4: I was thinking about least we come on, at least
- 20:45Speaker 4: we got two days.
- 20:46Speaker 6: How could you not throw us the alley oop of
- 20:48Speaker 6: all alley oops. We're going to get to that as
- 20:50Speaker 6: we move forward as well.
- 20:51Speaker 2: You are in the huddle.
- 20:52Speaker 6: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew Billion, Armen huddled up on
- 21:02Speaker 6: a Thursday in the good Land eight seven seven seven
- 21:07Speaker 6: seventy three. Brewers won last night, sweeping the Reds. As
- 21:11Speaker 6: they go off today, got a World Cup match tonight,
- 21:14Speaker 6: don't we.
- 21:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:16Speaker 5: Now this one is a little bit less exciting, right
- 21:19Speaker 5: because the USA has already locked it up.
- 21:21Speaker 6: Kind of a final preseason game kind of, So is.
- 21:24Speaker 5: This is this going to get treated like the last
- 21:26Speaker 5: preseason game in the NFL?
- 21:28Speaker 6: I'm I'm can you can experiment a little bit, you
- 21:30Speaker 6: can rest some guys are hurt and you can. Yeah,
- 21:33Speaker 6: it's this was a low leverage, low pressure game.
- 21:35Speaker 4: This was like when I was in high school, they
- 21:37Speaker 4: used to play best of three for boys volleyball, and uh,
- 21:40Speaker 4: when my team was really good my junior year, and
- 21:43Speaker 4: me and the other junior there was like six really
- 21:46Speaker 4: good seniors and me and the other juniors that never played.
- 21:48Speaker 4: We got a chance to go into that third game
- 21:50Speaker 4: when we already won the first two, but they'd still play.
- 21:52Speaker 4: This is like the This is like the third game
- 21:54Speaker 4: where they let everybody else play. Yeah, the the USA
- 21:57Speaker 4: already clincher group Pulissica I think is nursing an injury,
- 22:01Speaker 4: so I'm imagining he won't play or he won't play
- 22:04Speaker 4: much as he doesn't have.
- 22:05Speaker 2: To, and I don't think the seeding can really change.
- 22:08Speaker 4: So this is kind of like that, let's rest the
- 22:11Speaker 4: starters and how many series should Aaron Rodgers play at
- 22:14Speaker 4: the end of the season because we've already clinched on
- 22:16Speaker 4: field advantage. This is what that kind of is, Like, Billy,
- 22:19Speaker 4: that's fair the last regular season game, So I think
- 22:22Speaker 4: that's the decision they're gonna make. But like it, we're
- 22:24Speaker 4: not in this position usually is USA soccer.
- 22:26Speaker 2: It's a good field, No, it is.
- 22:28Speaker 6: It's like they've won a cup in a row and
- 22:30Speaker 6: the tournament's going off and people are talking about it.
- 22:32Speaker 2: It's creating some buzz.
- 22:35Speaker 5: I'll tell you. I think it's I think it's getting
- 22:37Speaker 5: a lot of buzz. It's getting a ton of run,
- 22:39Speaker 5: especially on shockingly on FS one, where they have most
- 22:42Speaker 5: of the games. But I appreciate that there's not as
- 22:48Speaker 5: much of the alt indie band energy with the World
- 22:51Speaker 5: Cup this year.
- 22:52Speaker 2: You know what, I mean like that.
- 22:53Speaker 5: There's sometimes because I'm very much the most casual of
- 22:56Speaker 5: casual World Cup fans come around every four years. I'll
- 22:59Speaker 5: enjoy it and I'll start getting increasingly more into it
- 23:02Speaker 5: as the games get more meaningful. But there's not as
- 23:05Speaker 5: much gatekeeping of well, you weren't watching the Copa America
- 23:08Speaker 5: two years ago, Okay, so we don't really care that
- 23:11Speaker 5: you're watching. It does feel like there's a little bit
- 23:13Speaker 5: more of a inviting field this year. Maybe that's just
- 23:17Speaker 5: because it's in the States and it's in the viewing time,
- 23:20Speaker 5: but it's been a lot of fun and easy to
- 23:21Speaker 5: get into.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, Billy.
- 23:23Speaker 4: There isn't this like stay out of the club, speaking
- 23:26Speaker 4: of the five o'clock club, stay out of this club
- 23:28Speaker 4: energy because we've been there first, you know, the gatekeeping
- 23:30Speaker 4: the stuff I like to do, because I was like, hey,
- 23:32Speaker 4: I was with the Bradleys Center in twenty twelve, what
- 23:34Speaker 4: were you There's none of the everyone's been welcoming the
- 23:36Speaker 4: casuals in which is nice. I have seen a couple
- 23:39Speaker 4: of like, you know, the women's play a tournament too,
- 23:41Speaker 4: the women play, Yeah, I know that.
- 23:42Speaker 2: And that's next year. We'll cheer for him.
- 23:44Speaker 4: Right now it's the boys turn. We're gonna cheer for
- 23:46Speaker 4: the boys. So it's a lot of fun. So you're right, Billy,
- 23:49Speaker 4: it's been something we've all been able to enjoy, casuals
- 23:51Speaker 4: and non casuals alike. And I do appreciate it because
- 23:54Speaker 4: only when it grow any one of your favorite sports,
- 23:57Speaker 4: if it is considered a nich sport, then you know
- 23:59Speaker 4: that's only to grow it is by welcoming people, explaining
- 24:02Speaker 4: to him and uh not not being exclusionary, being inclusionary so.
- 24:07Speaker 6: You can reach us eight seven seven seven nine four.
- 24:09Speaker 6: One night said three Nicolay, look I'm talking and text
- 24:11Speaker 6: line Billy and I were talking off. They are one
- 24:14Speaker 6: of our friends in the colleague, in the business in Phoenix.
- 24:17Speaker 6: Was going off about the eighth anniversary of a pivotal
- 24:20Speaker 6: moment for his Phoenix sons, and that would be when
- 24:23Speaker 6: they took de Andre eight and first in the twenty
- 24:26Speaker 6: eighteen NBA draft.
- 24:28Speaker 5: And I kind of quibbled right away Drew because I'm like,
- 24:30Speaker 5: wait a second, And Billy said, wait was that what?
- 24:33Speaker 2: Wait?
- 24:33Speaker 5: Like that was that wasn't like the Luca draft and
- 24:36Speaker 5: Trey Young, Oh yes it was. So they took de
- 24:39Speaker 5: Andre eight, and then Sacramento said, hold my beer. They
- 24:42Speaker 5: took Marvin Bagley the third, and then the the from
- 24:46Speaker 5: starting with three, the Hawks, who traded the Picta Dallas
- 24:51Speaker 5: took Luka Doncic, and then Jaren Jackson and Trey Young.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Came off the board like one, two, three or three,
- 24:56Speaker 2: four or five. There's some good players in there.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Yeah, really good.
- 25:01Speaker 6: Old Bomba got taken. Uh down at a let Well
- 25:05Speaker 6: you get to ten and you had uh Michael Bridges
- 25:10Speaker 6: eleven was SGAO was Miles.
- 25:13Speaker 2: Bridges that you forget about that? Ridiculously good? Yeah?
- 25:16Speaker 4: Good?
- 25:17Speaker 6: And then the Bucks that year took Dante number seventeen.
- 25:21Speaker 6: Michael Porter Junior was fourteen that year. And then when
- 25:24Speaker 6: they took Dante, you're looking at the rest of it
- 25:26Speaker 6: and like, who could they Who did they pass up
- 25:28Speaker 6: a guy that they ended up having. Grayson Allen went
- 25:30Speaker 6: twenty one that year. Similar down there, Wagner was down there.
- 25:36Speaker 6: And then in the second round, well you all know,
- 25:39Speaker 6: Jalen Brunson was taking the.
- 25:40Speaker 7: Second Yeah this, I was going to say the second
- 25:42Speaker 7: draft that turned out to be wow. Yeah, man a draft,
- 25:46Speaker 7: but it's not known as the DeAndre Aighton draft, and
- 25:49Speaker 7: that's partially the reason. Although the tough thing is, I
- 25:53Speaker 7: mean he did he was the one of the main
- 25:55Speaker 7: pieces on them. Getting to a finals was one of
- 25:57Speaker 7: the main reasons they ended losing the finals.
- 25:59Speaker 2: Did it not work?
- 26:00Speaker 6: He was an Arizona guy trying to play in Phoenix
- 26:02Speaker 6: because you know those two cities.
- 26:03Speaker 5: Man, who I like to go to both of them?
- 26:06Speaker 5: I'm too sad, fatally enjoy going to both of them.
- 26:08Speaker 5: And what two hours and ten minutes on the on
- 26:10Speaker 5: the freeway out there are pretty easy cruise.
- 26:12Speaker 4: But it wasn't like Kwame Brown, you know what I mean?
- 26:14Speaker 4: He did do decent things. He was a good role
- 26:16Speaker 4: player and he had decent years.
- 26:18Speaker 2: Oh for sure. But well you just said it though.
- 26:20Speaker 6: When you pick a guy first overall and role player
- 26:23Speaker 6: enters the discussion.
- 26:24Speaker 2: That's the problem.
- 26:25Speaker 5: That's especially when there's three of the top what would
- 26:30Speaker 5: you say, seven players in the league right now that
- 26:32Speaker 5: we're taken after.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Him in comparison. Yes, like where do you I.
- 26:35Speaker 5: Don't know where people are putting Brunson right now, but
- 26:38Speaker 5: I would struggle to not have him in the top ten,
- 26:40Speaker 5: if not top five. Obviously, SGA is back to back
- 26:43Speaker 5: you MVP, and even those team went down. I thought
- 26:46Speaker 5: he was phenomenal in that series against the Spurs, and
- 26:51Speaker 5: we already talked about Luka Doncic. I mean, the funniest
- 26:53Speaker 5: thing is that only Sga out of all of those
- 26:56Speaker 5: guys you mentioned, I think, is on his no, never
- 26:58Speaker 5: mind not on his original team, Hippers. All of those
- 27:02Speaker 5: guys that you mentioned are on different teams too. Yep,
- 27:04Speaker 5: that's a that's a crazy quick time in this league.
- 27:07Speaker 5: We mentioned it last year yesterday with with the Bucks
- 27:10Speaker 5: and Sons, five years after their finals appearance, only Devin
- 27:14Speaker 5: Booker on the team.
- 27:14Speaker 4: Ye.
- 27:15Speaker 5: Such an incredible draft. That much talent, top players in
- 27:19Speaker 5: the league, none of them still on their original team.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a ton of.
- 27:22Speaker 4: Player and a lot of it is the comparison game,
- 27:25Speaker 4: right when you compare them to the other players and
- 27:26Speaker 4: what you could have had. And that was always the
- 27:28Speaker 4: problem we had with you know, with the Tony Mandrich thing. Well,
- 27:30Speaker 4: it could have been Dion and Barry and Troy Aikman
- 27:32Speaker 4: and all these guys. Uh, And it was sort of
- 27:35Speaker 4: like that was Big Dog's problem. I think drew a
- 27:37Speaker 4: little bit, I mean, because he was so dominant Perdue
- 27:39Speaker 4: went number one overall, had a good career.
- 27:42Speaker 2: I think for a while, did make an All Star team.
- 27:43Speaker 2: But wasn't Jason.
- 27:45Speaker 4: Kidd and grand Hill and Juwan Howard and all the
- 27:47Speaker 4: other guys you know that were.
- 27:48Speaker 2: In that draft. So that comparison is the thief of joy.
- 27:51Speaker 6: As they say, it's great that you brought up big
- 27:54Speaker 6: dog because where did he play in college?
- 27:56Speaker 2: Perdue? Yeah, he's a boilerler amateur.
- 28:00Speaker 6: How about let's talk about that Perdue angle to this
- 28:05Speaker 6: story and the little flare up at Armand's Castle about
- 28:12Speaker 6: what happened, Arman, if you would tell us, tell us
- 28:15Speaker 6: about why Purdue has entered the chat.
- 28:17Speaker 4: You guys were talking about the great series coming up
- 28:19Speaker 4: that we have against the Cubs, and it'll be a
- 28:21Speaker 4: lot of fun this weekend at the at the at
- 28:23Speaker 4: the ballpark, American Family Field MS obviously Friday, And this
- 28:27Speaker 4: is where not being a good organizer and planner really
- 28:30Speaker 4: comes to kind of bite me in the butt a
- 28:33Speaker 4: little bit because I had remembered in my abstract and
- 28:36Speaker 4: telling you guys there's a Brewer game I'm going to
- 28:38Speaker 4: coming up. I think it's this Friday. It was this Friday.
- 28:41Speaker 4: I didn't remember what week it was. That is, uh,
- 28:45Speaker 4: I guess it's Perdue Alumni Club of Milwaukee night at
- 28:47Speaker 4: the Brewers game. Oh okay, well Laura told me about it,
- 28:51Speaker 4: you know, a month ago, say, hey, they're having a
- 28:53Speaker 4: deal for a Brewers game. Like, oh, that sounds fun.
- 28:55Speaker 4: Like seats one through eight in section three h five,
- 29:00Speaker 4: very very backed in the bleacher seats.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Wow, better than I. I just wonder how big this
- 29:06Speaker 2: gathering is, a good question.
- 29:07Speaker 4: Last time we were at a Perdue Alumni Club of
- 29:10Speaker 4: Milwaukee gathering. It was decent, but it was it was
- 29:13Speaker 4: one of those long tables worth at Clifford's for fine food,
- 29:16Speaker 4: fish fry Clipper Clifford's and Hills Corners here great spot
- 29:22Speaker 4: and Bill you know the restaurant part you know because
- 29:24Speaker 4: you've been there and the fish fry spot where they
- 29:26Speaker 4: had those long, long tables. So supper club spot, it's
- 29:30Speaker 4: like one of those long tables. So I'd say about
- 29:32Speaker 4: twenty to thirty now they're having they're having one of
- 29:34Speaker 4: those nice deals where they know you pay for the ticket,
- 29:36Speaker 4: you get the tailgate in the parking lot and all
- 29:38Speaker 4: that stuff. I'm like, oh, that sounds nice. Could excuse
- 29:40Speaker 4: to go to a Bruise game. It didn't occur to
- 29:43Speaker 4: me until this week. Obviously, it hit me like a
- 29:47Speaker 4: ton of bricks that that's gonna be the Cubs game
- 29:50Speaker 4: that the Brewers are.
- 29:51Speaker 6: Playing on Friday night, the opener of the Cubs and
- 29:53Speaker 6: you get to see mis pitch.
- 29:54Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 29:54Speaker 2: That's a deal. So I'm excited about it.
- 29:56Speaker 6: Right, I'm like, oh, this went from your wife's alumni association.
- 30:00Speaker 2: You're not fired up too, Like, let's go well whatever.
- 30:02Speaker 4: I mean, it's fine, you know, it's gonna be It's
- 30:05Speaker 4: gonna be fine. You know, it's not like I'm upset
- 30:08Speaker 4: about that part. And I'm like, Okay, this is a
- 30:09Speaker 4: gonna excuse to go to the Bruis game and talk
- 30:11Speaker 4: to some nice people.
- 30:12Speaker 2: Right.
- 30:13Speaker 4: But then I thought to myself, wait a minute, we're
- 30:15Speaker 4: playing the Cubs, So now we're gonna have this because.
- 30:17Speaker 2: You know, we're gonna bring a little Leno with us,
- 30:19Speaker 2: and then.
- 30:20Speaker 4: I'm gonna have this problem because every time it's Cubs
- 30:23Speaker 4: and Brewers, we have this problem. And this is what
- 30:25Speaker 4: happens when you live with one of those in a
- 30:27Speaker 4: divided household.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 30:28Speaker 4: When I say one of those someone from Illinois is like,
- 30:31Speaker 4: what is Lena gonna wear? And I'm like, wow, what
- 30:33Speaker 4: are you talking about. I mean, we're going to the
- 30:34Speaker 4: Brewers game. No, we're going to the Cubs game. Oh boy,
- 30:37Speaker 4: here we go. So we're about to have an issue
- 30:39Speaker 4: in the household. And I'm gonna be hanging out with
- 30:40Speaker 4: a bunch of Purdue alumni that, ostensibly you would think
- 30:44Speaker 4: are maybe Cubs fans, right.
- 30:46Speaker 6: I would think probably, yeah, a lot of them are
- 30:48Speaker 6: from the Chicago land area.
- 30:50Speaker 4: This isn't a problem for me because I'm wearing my
- 30:52Speaker 4: Brewers stuff. I'm going to the Brewis game. And I'm like,
- 30:55Speaker 4: you're wearing Purdue stuff, right, this is a Perdue alumni event. No,
- 30:58Speaker 4: she's wearing a cup Shirtdune And she said, oh, it's
- 31:01Speaker 4: a Cubs game.
- 31:02Speaker 6: She's wearing Cubs. This is the situation.
- 31:05Speaker 4: And I'm already trying to lobby for my child to
- 31:07Speaker 4: wear Brewers clothes, you know. And this is a problem
- 31:10Speaker 4: because she's like, well, it's a Purdue event, so she
- 31:12Speaker 4: should get to wear Cubs. Like, no, then she shoul
- 31:14Speaker 4: get to wear Purdue clothes.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Then she would get to be a boiler.
- 31:16Speaker 6: If you represent the Brewers and which I will, and
- 31:20Speaker 6: Lara represents the Cubs, then you got to have the
- 31:22Speaker 6: Purdue representation. You've covered all three bases, You're good.
- 31:25Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, Lara says she's gonna wear a produced shirt
- 31:28Speaker 4: and a Cubs hat or vice versa.
- 31:30Speaker 2: I can't remember. I'm like, that's one way to do it,
- 31:32Speaker 2: you know.
- 31:32Speaker 5: Yeah, split, that's what your wife is wearing, not the child.
- 31:36Speaker 2: But she was planning on this is like she was
- 31:40Speaker 2: sneaking that one.
- 31:40Speaker 6: Here's an analogy for you. Let's say you and your
- 31:43Speaker 6: wife are sharing this house and it comes to the
- 31:45Speaker 6: election time and you like one candidate want to put
- 31:47Speaker 6: up a yard sign, and she likes the other candidate.
- 31:49Speaker 6: Do you put up conflicting yard signs and competing and
- 31:52Speaker 6: can't sell each other out? Or do you just not
- 31:55Speaker 6: do it? Or does you know? One get what you know?
- 31:57Speaker 6: You get the first part of the week. I get
- 31:59Speaker 6: the second. Barkey, how do we parcel this out? That's
- 32:01Speaker 6: the way I'm thinking. But first of all, first of all,
- 32:05Speaker 6: my wife is not anywhere close to a sports fan,
- 32:09Speaker 6: so she just looks at it and you know, gasp,
- 32:12Speaker 6: gas happen, Like whatever, are you working? You're not working,
- 32:15Speaker 6: You're at this one whatever, and then she's not impacted
- 32:19Speaker 6: by that, So that that is. That's one way. But
- 32:23Speaker 6: I think this is a kaka mami theory of mine.
- 32:26Speaker 6: People who are in marriages where you have these dueling fandoms,
- 32:29Speaker 6: be it a college rivalry or a pro rivalry, like this,
- 32:32Speaker 6: I think it's healthier. I think it's healthy. No for
- 32:36Speaker 6: your team, I root for my team, and we have
- 32:38Speaker 6: there's just like there's a lightness to it. Yes, sure
- 32:40Speaker 6: it's a rivalry, but of course you're gonna stay married.
- 32:42Speaker 6: It's not going to get that heated. But just it's
- 32:45Speaker 6: something to talk about. Something like somebody to be happy,
- 32:47Speaker 6: somebody is not. But it's something that will just provides
- 32:50Speaker 6: a little spark, a little a little difference, you know,
- 32:53Speaker 6: well especially I don't think it's onerous.
- 32:54Speaker 5: I think it's actually kind of cool. As the years go, Andrew,
- 32:57Speaker 5: you need something to be able to be a little bit.
- 32:58Speaker 6: Absolutely, you got something to talk about, exactly if baseball
- 33:03Speaker 6: just like your hangs out with your dad most of
- 33:04Speaker 6: the time that ends up.
- 33:06Speaker 7: Now.
- 33:06Speaker 5: I love the fact, though that you have understood kind
- 33:11Speaker 5: of the assignment. Now I don't know that you fully
- 33:13Speaker 5: understand though, I don't think you can be normal Brewers
- 33:16Speaker 5: game Armen.
- 33:18Speaker 2: I just can't enjoy my time at the ballpark.
- 33:20Speaker 4: I wear my Brewers jacket and everything in my hat
- 33:22Speaker 4: and just say hey, we're good, like I'm cheering for
- 33:24Speaker 4: the team. You think I gotta be like a town
- 33:26Speaker 4: Brewers fan, Armen. Is that what you're saying, like being
- 33:28Speaker 4: a real jag?
- 33:29Speaker 2: No, no, no no no no no no no no no.
- 33:32Speaker 2: I've sat with you at Brewer game. Yeah, you have.
- 33:35Speaker 5: I understood cheering for your team. I think would maybe
- 33:39Speaker 5: the way you see cheering for your team might get
- 33:42Speaker 5: insight a little bit more frustration if you are surrounded
- 33:45Speaker 5: by a lot of companies.
- 33:46Speaker 2: You're saying, Armin normal levels different.
- 33:48Speaker 5: Yeah, I might bring the normal arm in level fan
- 33:51Speaker 5: one down a little bit rock the game. No, I
- 33:54Speaker 5: am enjoying the game at the park. I am wearing
- 33:57Speaker 5: my Brewers shirt. But I'm not gonna make a I'm
- 33:59Speaker 5: not gonna make a big I understand kind of grouping
- 34:01Speaker 5: thing that I'm in.
- 34:02Speaker 4: Oh, so you're saying I have this, I might bring
- 34:04Speaker 4: pressick to not embarrass my wife.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Is what you're saying?
- 34:08Speaker 4: Kind of thing or like an embarrasser, but like not
- 34:10Speaker 4: act like a total like who's this a hole here?
- 34:13Speaker 2: Who brought this guy? Yeah? But I am in a
- 34:15Speaker 2: Bruise game, and I'm a Bruis fan, and this is Milwaukee.
- 34:19Speaker 4: It's my right to get to stand up every time
- 34:22Speaker 4: we throw a Smith throws a strike and to stand
- 34:24Speaker 4: up in chair and start yelling right and right, you're right.
- 34:29Speaker 5: Is not also going to impend on other people's right
- 34:32Speaker 5: to feel a certain way about it.
- 34:34Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right.
- 34:35Speaker 5: So I just know, but I love it, and I
- 34:37Speaker 5: know that you are going to in the middle of
- 34:39Speaker 5: the third inning, Drew every time, as he just said,
- 34:41Speaker 5: mis throws a strike.
- 34:43Speaker 2: Do you think he throws what eighty of them? So yeah,
- 34:47Speaker 2: there's gonna be.
- 34:48Speaker 5: Some people that are very that somebody brought this adorable
- 34:52Speaker 5: Brewers fan into this Cubs Perdue event.
- 34:55Speaker 4: Now I will say this too. The one thing that
- 34:57Speaker 4: I think that will save me in terms of the
- 34:59Speaker 4: outfits situation, is that it's gonna be a little chilly
- 35:03Speaker 4: on Friday night.
- 35:04Speaker 5: So forget the sweatshirt at home team store. Immediately you win.
- 35:08Speaker 2: Come on, now, you know what I'm talking.
- 35:10Speaker 4: You know what I'm thinking, Billy, what a great time
- 35:12Speaker 4: to get a new sweatshirt for Lena.
- 35:13Speaker 2: She's growing and look at how good all this new
- 35:16Speaker 2: Wisco logo and they don't sell any they don't sell
- 35:19Speaker 2: any Cubs ones here. He's not wearing any of that.
- 35:21Speaker 2: They're wearing the Whisco jerseys.
- 35:22Speaker 5: She needs, she needs one of these sweet new logos sweatshirts.
- 35:26Speaker 4: Which is one way I cause I told myself I'm
- 35:28Speaker 4: really not gonna buy Whisko stuff because I don't like it.
- 35:30Speaker 4: But that would be a way to do it because
- 35:31Speaker 4: she'll grow out of it anyway, right, she could have
- 35:34Speaker 4: one for a while now. Lars like, no, let's put
- 35:35Speaker 4: her in the Purdue. We have like a Purdue like
- 35:38Speaker 4: kind of dress for now that fit her well during
- 35:40Speaker 4: basketball season she started to grow out of that might tough.
- 35:43Speaker 4: It might be tough, and I'm like, I don't if
- 35:44Speaker 4: it gets too cold for her, I'm like, maybe we
- 35:46Speaker 4: should give her, you know, we should get her a
- 35:48Speaker 4: sweatshirt at the game.
- 35:49Speaker 2: So that's kind of the angle. I'm going, all right,
- 35:51Speaker 2: well we'll see what happens here. Well, that one that
- 35:53Speaker 2: might that might paint army even more so PA store prices. Now,
- 35:58Speaker 2: now you know what I'm talking now. You know me,
- 36:00Speaker 2: you know my page?
- 36:01Speaker 4: Yes, indeed, Oh my god, I'll be getting a discount
- 36:05Speaker 4: any of these days too.

- 36:17Speaker 6: victory over the Reds last evening at Great American Small
- 36:20Speaker 6: Park and was not pretty, but it's a dub.
- 36:24Speaker 2: No style points.
- 36:25Speaker 6: Teams win games like that, and the Brewers are a
- 36:27Speaker 6: good team as shown by their record and the day
- 36:29Speaker 6: off today CUB series on the weekend. But we'll spend
- 36:32Speaker 6: through Hunter's recap that's coming up next. You are in

- 37:26Speaker 6: the Reds. It was a nail bier, but it was
- 37:29Speaker 6: a dub no style points. Not going to hang that
- 37:31Speaker 6: one in the louver, but check the box. They go
- 37:34Speaker 6: twenty games over five hundred to sweep a road series,
- 37:36Speaker 6: have a winning road trip, which is something after when
- 37:39Speaker 6: you start on a losing streak. So it was all
- 37:42Speaker 6: good vibes at Great American Small Park and our Hunter
- 37:45Speaker 6: bombgart has a recap for us.
- 37:47Speaker 2: Take it away, Hunter, Thanks guys.
- 37:52Speaker 3: The Brewers complete their first sweep in Cincinnati since July
- 37:55Speaker 3: of twenty twenty three with a six to five victory
- 37:57Speaker 3: last night. Boy, maybe you shouldn't have been that close, right,
- 38:00Speaker 3: This was a three to one ball game in the
- 38:02Speaker 3: seventh inning, and that's when Garrett Mitchell was strolling to
- 38:05Speaker 3: the plate with the bases loaded. Well, Pat Murphy decided
- 38:09Speaker 3: to pull him back and hit Andrew Vaughn in that
- 38:12Speaker 3: scenario because a lefty was on the mound, which makes
- 38:15Speaker 3: a lot of sense, Andrew Vaughn hitting about five hundred
- 38:17Speaker 3: against lefties so far this season. But Pat Murphy said
- 38:21Speaker 3: after the game he was shocked that in that moment,
- 38:24Speaker 3: Terry Francona didn't go to his right. He was warming
- 38:26Speaker 3: up in the bullpen, but he must not have been ready.
- 38:29Speaker 3: So Andrew Vaughn hit against the lefty and he made
- 38:31Speaker 3: him pay a three RBI double for Vaughn to make
- 38:33Speaker 3: it six to one Brewers. And then the bullpen was
- 38:36Speaker 3: depleted last night, didn't have their leverage arm, so they
- 38:39Speaker 3: had to go with Chad Patrick, then Grant Anderson, then
- 38:41Speaker 3: Craig Joho, and then Joe Konel and ended up getting
- 38:44Speaker 3: a one run victory a double play in the ninth
- 38:47Speaker 3: to seal it. So the Brewers get the sweep. They've
- 38:49Speaker 3: won four games in a row and they ride that
- 38:52Speaker 3: winning streak into the weekend against the Chicago Cubs in
- 38:56Speaker 3: Milwaukee starting tomorrow night. The Brewers are also twenty games
- 38:58Speaker 3: over five hundred for the first time this season forty
- 39:01Speaker 3: nine and twenty nine. I'll join you guys at seven
- 39:03Speaker 3: twenty five to talk more about the crew, and then
- 39:05Speaker 3: we have Milwaukee Baseball Tonight coming up this evening from
- 39:09Speaker 3: six to seven on Fox Sports nine twenty in Milwaukee.
- 39:12Speaker 3: This report brought to you by import Minded, your trusted
- 39:14Speaker 3: choice for exceptional vehicle care on Sound twenty seventh, just
- 39:17Speaker 3: north of eight ninety four.
- 39:18Speaker 6: Back to you guys, Thank you, Hunter, well done.
- 39:23Speaker 5: Love a couple of parts. One that the Brewers are
- 39:25Speaker 5: welcoming in the Cubs this weekend and they're on this
- 39:27Speaker 5: kind of a heater. But also Joe Koonell again getting
- 39:31Speaker 5: some high leverage innings when you grab him in the
- 39:34Speaker 5: midst of the weirdest series possible in the Las Vegas
- 39:38Speaker 5: one and comes from the A's and you're sitting right there.
- 39:41Speaker 2: Does anybody else think he looks like Dan Campbell? Oh?
- 39:45Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I didn't think about it until you literally
- 39:47Speaker 4: said it this earlyer this hour.
- 39:49Speaker 5: I mean, like with that hat slanted off to the
- 39:52Speaker 5: side a little bit, if you put like a half
- 39:54Speaker 5: a ten of Copenhagen in his lower lip. I could
- 39:58Speaker 5: totally see him with a Ion's cap on, sitting there
- 40:01Speaker 5: begging guys to go full board and full contact on
- 40:04Speaker 5: the train.
- 40:05Speaker 4: I'm gonna give him. I'm gonna give Dan Campbell a compliment.
- 40:07Speaker 4: I think Dan campbells in a little better shape than
- 40:09Speaker 4: than mister Koonell. Not that there's other wrong being in baseball.
- 40:13Speaker 4: What do you mean you don't think he's more like,
- 40:15Speaker 4: you know, he's more cut ripped and everything like that,
- 40:18Speaker 4: and a little bit more in better shape.
- 40:20Speaker 2: That's the only difference I got. Okay, I don't mean
- 40:22Speaker 2: to be mean. I'm just stating the reality.
- 40:25Speaker 4: And Koonle wears his goat a little bit more thicker,
- 40:28Speaker 4: his goateee a little bit.
- 40:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see it. No, I agree with you there,
- 40:32Speaker 2: there's definitely resemblance.
- 40:33Speaker 5: That's a little tighter when when you got the baseball
- 40:35Speaker 5: pants got sucked in and compared to you know, the
- 40:37Speaker 5: loose fitting T shirt that we're usually seeing.
- 40:41Speaker 4: No, because Dan Campbell wears the tight T shirts and
- 40:44Speaker 4: you can really, you know, you can see a definition.
- 40:47Speaker 4: Well I don't know, just just an observation, but yeah,
- 40:49Speaker 4: he's a younger kind of like because he's younger, obviously
- 40:52Speaker 4: you can see it more.
- 40:53Speaker 2: But just an observation, I see it. I see it
- 40:55Speaker 2: for sure. That yeah, he does remind you.
- 40:58Speaker 5: So you're saying, if he grabbed a couple more of
- 40:59Speaker 5: the key, I'm pie costco cake, So then it would
- 41:01Speaker 5: be a different deal, and then he would Dan Campbell
- 41:04Speaker 5: be looking a little bit more like Jokunell.
- 41:05Speaker 4: Well, I'm also interested to see what he looks like
- 41:07Speaker 4: in ten to fifteen years, because that's when we'll start
- 41:10Speaker 4: to more like matriculate more to middle age old man
- 41:13Speaker 4: and then like maybe his face everything will look like
- 41:16Speaker 4: but like Dan Campbell.
- 41:17Speaker 2: But yeah, I see it.
- 41:18Speaker 4: But either way, he got to save, so I'm happy
- 41:20Speaker 4: he got the job done.
- 41:22Speaker 2: That was the key. That's all that matters. That's all
- 41:24Speaker 2: that matters. I don't care what you look like.
- 41:26Speaker 4: I was nervous when Cooper couldn't get out of his glove,
- 41:28Speaker 4: for that's what second I mentioned earlier.
- 41:29Speaker 2: It was like get it out, get it out.
- 41:31Speaker 4: But that was a tailor made double play, So yeah,
- 41:33Speaker 4: that was you know that knife was an adventure though,
- 41:36Speaker 4: but uh that bum.
- 41:37Speaker 6: I mean they could have easily lost that game. Yeah, yeah, well,
- 41:41Speaker 6: and you know, coming off of Atlanta when you had
