0:01
Speaker 1: A Friday in the good Land.
0:04
Speaker 2: Oh harmon, Oh no, someone hit a button. What's happening
0:09
Speaker 2: over there?
0:10
Speaker 3: Arman?
0:11
Speaker 1: Great, what's happening? Guys?
0:12
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
0:13
Speaker 1: You're not hearing me. You're not hearing me.
0:14
Speaker 2: Right, we got the air fee there, we got that now.
0:17
Speaker 1: There, Yeah, happened. Someone's messing messed up over here, ladies, gentlemen,
0:23
Speaker 1: God got it. Now we're good.
0:25
Speaker 2: We were definitely on. We heard it about a few
0:28
Speaker 2: seconds later. Yeah, it was. That's a hot start. Come
0:30
Speaker 2: on now, happy Friday. Let's roll drought.
0:33
Speaker 1: We went the whole week with no glitches. We're like
0:36
Speaker 1: the Badgers. Yesterday, we're playing great, we're up sixteen. All
0:39
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we're hanging on to our shorts.
0:41
Speaker 2: Sitting there in the time out. Wait a second, it's
0:43
Speaker 2: a two point It was a twenty two point. Yeah,
0:45
Speaker 2: holy cow. But listen, like you said, you got to
0:48
Speaker 2: overcome the audiversity otherwise you're not the championship team. We
0:50
Speaker 2: thought we were surviving advance.
0:52
Speaker 1: I'm not even hungover, and like when we cracked the
0:54
Speaker 1: mics and I couldn't hear myself, it was like, wow,
0:56
Speaker 1: we're off to an interesting start. We got a great program.
0:59
Speaker 2: For you today. Welcome. It's the last program before snow. Mcgeddon.
1:04
Speaker 2: Oh that's fair. We're going to get the update. We're
1:05
Speaker 2: going to get the calming at lost the state of Wisconsin.
1:08
Speaker 2: We're going to the bullpen. Thank brook Brighton luckily, Luckily
1:12
Speaker 2: she can either calm down the nervousness or ramp up
1:16
Speaker 2: the energy.
1:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that's what bos hopefully both. I don't know
1:19
Speaker 1: that they know enough yet, if they have enough information,
1:21
Speaker 1: because it's so volatile. When the winds are fifty sixty
1:24
Speaker 1: miles an hour like they were gusting to on our
1:26
Speaker 1: drive in this early morning, things can change quickly.
1:31
Speaker 3: And the h and the temperature, you know, the thing
1:33
Speaker 3: is the shifting of the temperature. A few degrees can
1:36
Speaker 3: determine if it's rain or snow. Right, So that's the
1:39
Speaker 3: big thing. So put it in your memory banks, put
1:42
Speaker 3: it in your ledgers, write it down. Brook bright will
1:44
Speaker 3: be on at forty, so there you have it for halftime,
1:48
Speaker 3: set your appointments. You know, everyone needs the updates.
1:52
Speaker 1: So our second half adjustments will be great today because
1:54
Speaker 1: Dolph will be in at six thirty, brook Brighton will
1:56
Speaker 1: be in and then we'll talk to Matt Lapey and
1:58
Speaker 1: seven thirty Live from Chicago.
2:00
Speaker 2: And listen, I'm more excited that we're going to be
2:02
Speaker 2: able to talk to mass still in Chicago, because, as
2:04
Speaker 2: he mentioned Drew yesterday, there were a lot of moments
2:07
Speaker 2: where you're sitting back saying, holy cow, six and a
2:09
Speaker 2: half at tip off at certain institutions in right around
2:13
Speaker 2: the Chicago land area. If you were interested in the
2:15
Speaker 2: Wisconsin Badgers against the Huskies, who they battled with a
2:18
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, right, yeah, absolute battle up there
2:21
Speaker 2: at the Alaskan Airlines Center. However, they were having a
2:25
Speaker 2: jersey retirement. There was a lot of reasons why that
2:28
Speaker 2: would have been an energetic day and a tough atmosphere
2:30
Speaker 2: to go play in. But the Badgers all they as
2:33
Speaker 2: I'm listening to Matt and Brian yesterday, when they went
2:35
Speaker 2: from fifty two percent from three to forty five percent
2:39
Speaker 2: from three. But she's like, well, listen, all they did
2:41
Speaker 2: was lose a little bit on their field goal percentage.
2:44
Speaker 2: Then that score said at seventy eight, eighty and eighty
2:48
Speaker 2: two for quite some time, and you just continue to
2:50
Speaker 2: watch man. Momentum is a crazy thing, and when it
2:54
Speaker 2: starts rolling Mother Moe is a dangerous and difficult beast
2:58
Speaker 2: to stop.
2:59
Speaker 3: Betially had a neutral court. You know, those things kind
3:01
Speaker 3: of happen one way or the other. You don't know
3:02
Speaker 3: how to predict performance sometimes when there's no home court.
3:05
Speaker 3: It is funny because they rolled up the you know,
3:07
Speaker 3: they were at Washington and dominated that team on the
3:10
Speaker 3: road way in the Presiic Northwest.
3:12
Speaker 1: Look to be in control here.
3:13
Speaker 3: But uh yeah, it's really hard to say what will happen,
3:16
Speaker 3: especially when there's the other volatility of outside shooting things
3:18
Speaker 3: like that. But uh, in the end, got the win.
3:21
Speaker 3: John Blackwell, what a performance. I mean, rolling up with
3:24
Speaker 3: the thirty plus burger saving the Badgers.
3:27
Speaker 1: And so they're on to Illinois. It would be interesting because.
3:30
Speaker 3: Talking about neutral court, they're in Chicago obviously, so it'll
3:32
Speaker 3: be a partisan crowded me you would imagine you.
3:34
Speaker 2: Would think, yeah, but then again, already won down there. Yeah,
3:38
Speaker 2: so I'm already one at Illinois, I'm not I'm not
3:41
Speaker 2: as worried about that.
3:42
Speaker 1: At the United Center, That's true, there will be more
3:44
Speaker 1: Badgers fans than they were in Champagne.
3:47
Speaker 2: Then big yeah, and maybe now I don't know if
3:49
Speaker 2: they're going to have a wig night. Now, maybe maybe
3:52
Speaker 2: that should be a thing. Maybe guard should walk out
3:54
Speaker 2: with that.
3:54
Speaker 1: But bring it.
3:55
Speaker 2: Listen, that's a great matchup that you get to be
3:57
Speaker 2: able to see and uh, Drew, I don't know. The
3:59
Speaker 2: surviving advance that's next week's biggest part. This is one
4:03
Speaker 2: of the weird ones where I know a lot of
4:04
Speaker 2: people struggle with you want to win the game, you
4:06
Speaker 2: might as well try to win the tournament if you're
4:08
Speaker 2: in it. Yeah, that is the conundrum, but it doesn't
4:10
Speaker 2: necessarily help you to be played in the last game
4:12
Speaker 2: of the season. Are we getting to that point with
4:14
Speaker 2: college football?
4:15
Speaker 1: Was trying to think of similar situations because it's like, hey,
4:18
Speaker 1: the conference chammage you gave, well, we're already in the
4:20
Speaker 1: playoff whatever.
4:21
Speaker 3: You know.
4:21
Speaker 2: This year was I think like the first year you
4:23
Speaker 2: really felt that where like Big Ten two years ago
4:27
Speaker 2: it was Oregon and Penn State, they were both going
4:30
Speaker 2: to be in number one seed was on the lines,
4:32
Speaker 2: like that kind of matters. But now after Ohio State
4:35
Speaker 2: won two years ago, this year the real conundrum between
4:38
Speaker 2: Ohio State and Indiana was sure, you can have to
4:41
Speaker 2: buy in the one seed or you can get the
4:43
Speaker 2: home game, Which one's better? And that was a to
4:46
Speaker 2: was a conundrum. That was a top battle. Yeah.
4:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, conference tournaments, I mean they were always exciting and
4:52
Speaker 1: like made for TV. And the other the other day
4:55
Speaker 1: was the anniversary that's six overtime Syracuse Big East game.
4:59
Speaker 1: Now they're trying to hire Jerry McNamara as the head
5:01
Speaker 1: coach the All Time Classic. But then you think, like
5:03
Speaker 1: what's the value? What is the calculus? Do you want
5:06
Speaker 1: to win? What do the analytics say? Is you're better
5:09
Speaker 1: off just losing? Make it to the Semis, get a win,
5:11
Speaker 1: maybe two, and then shut her down and then and
5:14
Speaker 1: then be ready because you know you played till Sunday,
5:17
Speaker 1: you're drained. You fire up Thursday. Oh man, you don't
5:20
Speaker 1: have as much in the tank. It's just a it's
5:22
Speaker 1: a diminishing returns.
5:24
Speaker 2: Well, and that was the That was kind of the
5:26
Speaker 2: Badgers deal last year, right, and we talked about it
5:28
Speaker 2: with Butchie where they couldn't play on Sunday because of
5:31
Speaker 2: the religious deal with BYU, so that had to be
5:35
Speaker 2: late Saturday night. Also meant then they had to play
5:38
Speaker 2: on Thursday. After they played uh all the way into
5:40
Speaker 2: the championship game on Sunday. It's it's an interesting one,
5:43
Speaker 2: and in you compare it to college football drew like
5:48
Speaker 2: we don't want to Alabama and Georgia this year was
5:51
Speaker 2: the SEC championship game and Alabama got pantsed right looked awful.
5:57
Speaker 2: They looked like they did when they played Alabama or
6:00
Speaker 2: when they played Indiana a couple of weeks later in
6:02
Speaker 2: the Rose Bowl. But the talk was, you don't want
6:05
Speaker 2: to diminish the conference championship game and you don't want
6:08
Speaker 2: to make it a lack of an incentive to go
6:12
Speaker 2: play where you could get bounced out of the tournament
6:15
Speaker 2: if you look like Alabama did right there. However, when
6:19
Speaker 2: Alabama went beat Oklahoma, it kind of changed up some
6:22
Speaker 2: of the conversation this one.
6:25
Speaker 1: For certain teams.
6:26
Speaker 2: Obviously you need it, right There's a team that Arman
6:29
Speaker 2: Sarian put out earlier today on social media that he's
6:31
Speaker 2: gonna give us a solve to like they definitely needed it.
6:35
Speaker 2: Some teams don't necessarily have the safety of knowing like, hey,
6:40
Speaker 2: we're either going to be a six or a seven,
6:42
Speaker 2: or a five or a four. But the conference tournament
6:46
Speaker 2: they're making a ton of money even though there's nobody
6:48
Speaker 2: at these games yesterday.
6:50
Speaker 1: I know it did look like there. It looked like a.
6:52
Speaker 2: Brewers game in two thousand and four on a Tuesday
6:56
Speaker 2: in April, foul Ball Night, have your Own Section Night.
6:59
Speaker 2: But there's still make enough money on TV that they
7:01
Speaker 2: ain't getting.
7:01
Speaker 1: Rid of them.
7:02
Speaker 2: I got to get a report.
7:02
Speaker 1: My buddy Johnny Vegas was in the stands yesterday for
7:05
Speaker 1: all the games, just checking it out, and I got
7:07
Speaker 1: to find out what the atmosphere was.
7:09
Speaker 2: Cool. Yeah, that's awesome.
7:10
Speaker 1: Four hoops games in a day. We've had that here.
7:12
Speaker 1: It's always a nice one. It's here.
7:14
Speaker 2: The one that I'm upset that I haven't hit is
7:16
Speaker 2: the full slate of action at the WCC in the
7:20
Speaker 2: Orleans Casino Arena. I'm Las Vegas, right, you go like
7:23
Speaker 2: they're like three or four in Vegas. There's one at Henderson.
7:26
Speaker 2: I went to a conference championship game in Vegas a
7:29
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, the last pack twelve basket or
7:31
Speaker 2: Pack twelve game when it was Oregon and Colorado and
7:34
Speaker 2: same deal. The best teams ended up losing, so all
7:36
Speaker 2: the tickets were like a quarter of the price. You
7:40
Speaker 2: don't necessarily know what the atmosphere is going to be like,
7:42
Speaker 2: and that's where Armin's favorite thing three point variance gets
7:44
Speaker 2: to be true, a common refrain here in March. I'm
7:47
Speaker 2: excited though, to hear from Brian and Matt as they
7:50
Speaker 2: were the late game or the long game, I should say, Drew.
7:54
Speaker 2: That's a lot tougher if that's the game in front
7:56
Speaker 2: of you. Oh yeah, because we would have then gotten
7:58
Speaker 2: blessed here on Fox Boards Ya Wisconsin to getting like
8:01
Speaker 2: an hour and forty five minutes to potentially two hour
8:04
Speaker 2: and fifteen minute pregame show with Brian Puch and Matt Lapey.
8:08
Speaker 2: Now we're all signing up for that.
8:09
Speaker 1: I don't know that.
8:10
Speaker 2: They would have been on day one of the turnout,
8:13
Speaker 2: having to get themselves lathered up that way.
8:16
Speaker 1: That's the heck of a jump in eight seven seven, seven,
8:18
Speaker 1: nine four one ninety seven three gets it to the
8:20
Speaker 1: nicolay Lau dot com talk and text line. Yeah, we're
8:23
Speaker 1: in phase one of our Snowmageddon. Brook Brighton, our pal
8:26
Speaker 1: from Spectrum the News is going to join us.
8:29
Speaker 2: At six p forty.
8:31
Speaker 1: We got high wind warnings today, rain coming then turning
8:35
Speaker 1: into sleep and then snow, and it's just a matter
8:37
Speaker 1: of how much snow up to a foot they're saying
8:40
Speaker 1: for us now in the Fox Valley belt and north
8:44
Speaker 1: of I ninety four, and our friends in the north
8:46
Speaker 1: of Madison who are listening to us on ten seventy
8:49
Speaker 1: nine to twenty Milwaukee, ten seventy Madison, everywhere in the
8:51
Speaker 1: iHeart apps, streaming everywhere, YouTube, Facebook, and x they just
8:57
Speaker 1: don't know. It could be they're talking about getting two
8:59
Speaker 1: feet in that band that stretches like cuts across the
9:02
Speaker 1: middle of this.
9:03
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Central Wisconsin seems like the one
9:05
Speaker 2: that's right there in.
9:07
Speaker 1: Fox Valley, Central Wisconsin might get more than Ryan Lander
9:10
Speaker 1: and Tomahawk, which is rare. It might be in that
9:12
Speaker 1: swath there in the middle of the upper middle of
9:14
Speaker 1: the state. And there were so the Bob Harlan Memorial
9:18
Speaker 1: for Monday postponed until the twenty third. I'm sure that
9:22
Speaker 1: wasn't an easy decision. That people had already had travel plans,
9:25
Speaker 1: I know, uh, you know, the luminaries that are coming
9:29
Speaker 1: in like Ron Wolf and Brett farre and people like that,
9:31
Speaker 1: had their their travel attended two event.
9:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah.
9:35
Speaker 1: So now and then you know, with the Harlan family,
9:38
Speaker 1: Kevin's got little some obligations with basketball coming up. But
9:42
Speaker 1: I'm sure they didn't want to move it, but they
9:44
Speaker 1: had to had to accommodate the weather, so they pushed
9:47
Speaker 1: it back a week.
9:48
Speaker 2: Well, a smart move, and and it's uh, it's listen,
9:51
Speaker 2: I am. I'm starting to get more and more into
9:54
Speaker 2: the weather. So that's why I feel like it's could.
9:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're getting to be old guy now.
10:00
Speaker 2: The only thing we gripe about our airplane travel and weather,
10:05
Speaker 2: So I feel like I gotta get more into it.
10:08
Speaker 2: So high winds that that's a dangerous thing, right, Is
10:10
Speaker 2: this like buried? Or are we going and grabbing all
10:13
Speaker 2: the toilet paper and water that we can here?
10:16
Speaker 1: Like? Is that what I need to be going to ask?
10:19
Speaker 1: Because now that we're going to be out of here,
10:21
Speaker 1: you know, we're done working at eight am, which, by
10:23
Speaker 1: the way, was pretty splendid with the Badgers playing in afternoon.
10:26
Speaker 2: That was actually watch a whole game that was quite refreshing.
10:30
Speaker 2: I wish that Prime game last night wouldn't have been.
10:32
Speaker 1: But yeah, when it's a so in an event like this,
10:37
Speaker 1: you got a couple of days and Saturday is supposed
10:39
Speaker 1: to be pretty uneventful, like just dry, and so people
10:43
Speaker 1: will be preparing and hunkering down Saturday. Does that mean, Arman,
10:46
Speaker 1: the milk bread toilet paper run is going to go
10:48
Speaker 1: on on Saturday.
10:49
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna happen today or tomorrow. Absolutely, people
10:51
Speaker 3: are going to be storming the best deal, as you say,
10:54
Speaker 3: storming the Myers like it's the.
10:56
Speaker 1: Thing is though, the hoarding does it ever stop? Because
10:58
Speaker 1: is there ever a time you go to Costco when
11:00
Speaker 1: it's not crazy crowded? You got to wait in long
11:02
Speaker 1: lines like they're starting to do the Chick fil A
11:04
Speaker 1: thing at Costco. The guy walks up to you with
11:06
Speaker 1: the gun and he scans your card and scans everything
11:08
Speaker 1: in your cart. You walk up and your totals already
11:10
Speaker 1: for you.
11:11
Speaker 2: Amazing.
11:11
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, so that they're ruthless efficiency as they steal
11:14
Speaker 1: your money and take and sell you stuff in bulk
11:18
Speaker 1: quantities that you don't really need.
11:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's definitely true. That's definitely true of Costco. But
11:23
Speaker 3: like the regular grocery store, it just seems like everyone
11:26
Speaker 3: you know storms it like it's armageddon.
11:28
Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean every single bit of that
11:31
Speaker 2: trail mix. I don't know what you guys are saying
11:32
Speaker 2: the things that you don't necessarily need. I think it's
11:34
Speaker 2: getting absolutely deleted on the snacks.
11:37
Speaker 3: I guess my thing is, I'm always surprised if people
11:39
Speaker 3: don't have more than like one or two days worth
11:41
Speaker 3: of provisions in their house. But maybe some don't and
11:43
Speaker 3: they feel like, oh man, I better get this now
11:45
Speaker 3: because I don't have it, especially for the weekend, you know.
11:48
Speaker 3: But I'm always thinking like, I could probably survive a
11:51
Speaker 3: couple of days, and that's usually all they last when
11:53
Speaker 3: the snow is clear. But I guess the high winds
11:55
Speaker 3: are more of a concern. Mike with the important question,
11:58
Speaker 3: will arm and blows drive where you have his name?
11:59
Speaker 1: Or do it?
12:00
Speaker 2: It'll wait for somebody else, especially it's not charging them. Yeah,
12:06
Speaker 2: I started to wonder.
12:07
Speaker 1: Okay, so if it's gonna snow all day Sunday into Monday,
12:11
Speaker 1: the Bucks play Sunday at two thirty Sunday, I'm like,
12:14
Speaker 1: where are the Bucks. They're in Atlanta Saturday night. They're
12:18
Speaker 1: gonna have to fly in after that game. Will that
12:21
Speaker 1: be impacted? They're playing the Pacers who are hosting the
12:23
Speaker 1: Knicks tonight and then are off and so the Pacers
12:26
Speaker 1: won't have a problem getting here.
12:27
Speaker 2: The pacers can fly in.
12:28
Speaker 1: They'll fly on Saturday, and it's supposed to be a
12:30
Speaker 1: clean day and then it's supposed.
12:31
Speaker 2: To start snowing Sunday.
12:32
Speaker 1: So the question is, I guess more on the Bucks
12:34
Speaker 1: getting back on Saturday night, but it's probably won't be
12:38
Speaker 1: as heavy.
12:39
Speaker 2: It won't has started then. Either that or maybe they
12:41
Speaker 2: just try to figure out a gentleman's agreement of Hey, fellas,
12:45
Speaker 2: we do we really need to play this one bucks playing?
12:48
Speaker 1: Do we all?
12:48
Speaker 2: Do we all the Magic City?
12:50
Speaker 1: Do we really need to play? We're gonna say I'm magic,
12:52
Speaker 1: We're getting.
12:52
Speaker 2: Some wings, and we're gonna stay in the warm for
12:54
Speaker 2: a couple of days. I think that might that might
12:56
Speaker 2: try to be uh be called I'm wondering to the
12:58
Speaker 2: travel secretary on that agreement.
13:00
Speaker 1: About that as uh some of the Bucks are playing
13:02
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. It's like, I wonder if Giannis has ever
13:04
Speaker 1: been to Magic City. He might be the one guy
13:06
Speaker 1: just you know, yeah, he's definitely had wings that magic.
13:09
Speaker 1: You think he definitely he can't turn the wings down.
13:14
Speaker 1: He loves him some wings now, listen.
13:15
Speaker 2: I think he also lovesba right a passage right, Well,
13:18
Speaker 2: you know he loves to reproduce. Now that's obviously not
13:20
Speaker 2: that type of establishment, but there are certain people that
13:23
Speaker 2: go to those establishments with their significant other.
13:26
Speaker 1: I don't know.
13:26
Speaker 2: Maybe he would put it on Mariah is the reason
13:28
Speaker 2: why he hasn't been there. You know, they're surre for
13:30
Speaker 2: just about anything else.
13:31
Speaker 1: In baseball, the tradition was a rookie gets called up
13:34
Speaker 1: and maybe a veteran will take him to his you know,
13:36
Speaker 1: let's say you're visiting New York. Veteran will take him
13:38
Speaker 1: to his tailor. I got a suit, guy, we gotta
13:40
Speaker 1: get you looking good for getaway games. Now, basically, much
13:44
Speaker 1: like college coaches, baseball teams are basically ditching the coat
13:47
Speaker 1: and tie thing they used to have on the road,
13:49
Speaker 1: which always that always cracked me up as.
13:51
Speaker 2: False hustle to me on my plane. Fit.
13:53
Speaker 1: You guys are around the hockey teams, and those guys
13:55
Speaker 1: have the cool just the sweatsuits, you know, the college
13:58
Speaker 1: coach sweatsuits to the Final four lobby. You know, they
14:02
Speaker 1: just wear those, especially if you're getting in a bus. Yeah,
14:06
Speaker 1: but a lot of guys hockey, it's tradition that you
14:08
Speaker 1: dress up for games. But then when you're leaving the rank,
14:10
Speaker 1: you might just put the sweat brow whatever you dress
14:12
Speaker 1: up to walk in. And they used to do that
14:14
Speaker 1: in baseball. It's like, let me see, you're playing a
14:16
Speaker 1: night game and you're gonna go at eleven thirty, you're
14:21
Speaker 1: getting on a bus to go to the right to
14:22
Speaker 1: the tarmac. No one's gonna see it, and then you're
14:24
Speaker 1: getting a plane. You're basically suiting up for each other.
14:27
Speaker 2: Suited and booted yep. Well, was like one of the
14:30
Speaker 2: dumbest things.
14:30
Speaker 1: And then it's like and then they started to and
14:33
Speaker 1: it started with the West Coast go figure like Kevin
14:35
Speaker 1: Towers may he rest in peace, one of the greats,
14:38
Speaker 1: one of the all time greats of the padres general managers.
14:40
Speaker 1: Like he was a Hawaiian shirt and jeans kind of guy.
14:43
Speaker 1: He's like, well, what are we doing? Like so they
14:46
Speaker 1: started like you can wear jeans on flights and some
14:48
Speaker 1: flights and depending on when you're getting in. And so
14:51
Speaker 1: it was like then it the slope. It started to
14:54
Speaker 1: now teams are basically it's pretty cash but now it's.
14:58
Speaker 2: Sometimes dress up days. And I was gonna say, and
15:00
Speaker 2: now it's now it's let's enjoy the fits so then
15:02
Speaker 2: we can put it on Instagram. Yeah, but now dress
15:05
Speaker 2: cool enough that we can put it on Instagram.
15:07
Speaker 1: The NBA turn the whole walk in thing too into
15:10
Speaker 1: a whole basically high school teams are doing walk in
15:13
Speaker 1: videos now.
15:13
Speaker 2: Well, and the Packers one has turned into points of
15:15
Speaker 2: contention of oh my god to Jordan Love not give
15:18
Speaker 2: that person a high five? How dare not give that
15:20
Speaker 2: woman a high five? That was in their reaching for
15:22
Speaker 2: it or eating wing stop the game day before games like,
15:26
Speaker 2: the content that we get from the tarmac is an
15:29
Speaker 2: interesting one.
15:30
Speaker 1: I do.
15:30
Speaker 2: Uh the hockey players that have to go suited and
15:35
Speaker 2: booted to go and sit up in the stands. I
15:37
Speaker 2: have always felt bad for those guys.
15:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have to still do that. They they're wearing kind.
15:41
Speaker 2: Of stick out like a sore thumb and panther arena
15:44
Speaker 2: doesn't hurt.
15:44
Speaker 1: It doesn't hurt the walk up traffic though. You know,
15:46
Speaker 1: the ladies know who they like.
15:48
Speaker 3: They take the pictures they put factory and it's professional,
15:52
Speaker 3: which I enjoyed, but didn't the NHL just relax that
15:55
Speaker 3: recently everybody's the NHL just recently, sports.
16:00
Speaker 1: Reflect society and everything has gotten more casual. There are
16:05
Speaker 1: very few our smart, good looking listeners. We run the gamut.
16:08
Speaker 1: We got guys who work in the you know, outside,
16:11
Speaker 1: and guys who route salesman. So very few people now
16:14
Speaker 1: have to wear a suit to work every day.
16:16
Speaker 2: Well, and I don't feel nearly as in court because
16:18
Speaker 2: I was supposed to, I guess dress up today. I
16:22
Speaker 2: got khakis on, and then I realized that I'm like,
16:25
Speaker 2: I'm still a thirteen year old boy. I have like
16:28
Speaker 2: two pairs of khakis that don't actually fit very well,
16:31
Speaker 2: that are like the only quote unquote dress up.
16:33
Speaker 1: Clothes obligation do you have today that you're dressed up for.
16:35
Speaker 1: I've seen you dress up billy going to court. I
16:38
Speaker 1: wish it's rare.
16:40
Speaker 2: I wish my wife got jury duty again yesterday.
16:43
Speaker 1: Really, this is bull. You can't get any I cannot
16:47
Speaker 1: get summoned. I am an upstanding member of society. See
16:51
Speaker 1: that is crazy.
16:52
Speaker 2: Thirteen years have been on the ballot and I have
16:54
Speaker 2: not gotten called one one time reserved or they didn't
16:57
Speaker 2: want me there over Apparently, I'm I'm supposed to educate
17:02
Speaker 2: in uh mentally youth to visiting some school kids. All right,
17:06
Speaker 2: some school kids so I apologize.
17:08
Speaker 1: Well, it's so funny around these parts because if you
17:10
Speaker 1: wear like if I wear a dark washed jean or
17:13
Speaker 1: black jeans or khakis, people are like, wait, you got
17:15
Speaker 1: something going on todayhyres you got a job interview? You're
17:18
Speaker 1: not in joggers, like you gotta what's going on. That's
17:21
Speaker 1: how far it's slipped. The pendulum has shifted. At maybe
17:25
Speaker 1: some point we'll have a trend where it gets more
17:28
Speaker 1: buttoned up and guys start to suit up.
17:29
Speaker 2: For the most part, I know there's a lot of
17:31
Speaker 2: people that are upset that that really wish college basketball
17:34
Speaker 2: coaches and NBA coaches would be wearing suits again.
17:36
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of.
17:37
Speaker 2: A lot of folks that wish maybe Mike Nolan would
17:39
Speaker 2: walk back onto an NFL field with a suit on.
17:41
Speaker 1: That was one of my favorite DOC moments of the
17:44
Speaker 1: year when he talked about that. He's like, I have
17:45
Speaker 1: to get none of my suits fit. I have to
17:47
Speaker 1: get into shape. We've all been there, Doc, it's all
17:50

19:07
Speaker 2: I like that.
19:07
Speaker 1: Yes, you're right. Yeah, that was a rough one to
19:09
Speaker 1: the week. Now we're going to settle in. And when
19:12
Speaker 1: we talked to Brooke Brighton from Spectrum News, our pal
19:15
Speaker 1: who kind of works similar hours and has been a
19:17
Speaker 1: friend of the program.
19:18
Speaker 2: Which is the only person that I think is up
19:19
Speaker 2: earlier than us. That's true.
19:21
Speaker 1: When Brooke comes on though, I'm going to ask her
19:24
Speaker 1: if this because I've told you guys before, it's in
19:27
Speaker 1: my DNA as coming up.
19:28
Speaker 2: As a sports writer, I covered state high school tournaments.
19:30
Speaker 1: It was always like a grind would go to the
19:32
Speaker 1: girls turning the boys attorney tries and I would hole
19:35
Speaker 1: up in Madison and uh cover those games.
19:38
Speaker 2: And that was back in the field House days. That's
19:40
Speaker 2: how old I say, that's the Fieldhouse State back when
19:44
Speaker 2: there was three divisions and they had you know, had
19:48
Speaker 2: eight teams make it from Division one, which I think
19:50
Speaker 2: is the just way to run it instead of five
19:52
Speaker 2: divisions with four teams in the from the biggest schools.
19:55
Speaker 1: But anyway, uh, we would go there and invariably at
19:58
Speaker 1: some point during the four night armin word from yesterday, Yeah,
20:02
Speaker 1: two weeks we would get that last gasp blizzard where
20:06
Speaker 1: you'd get six inches and then it'd be gone in
20:08
Speaker 1: two days because then like two days later it be
20:10
Speaker 1: forty five melting out. But uh, it's it seems to
20:14
Speaker 1: me like that now. Then after that period, I would
20:18
Speaker 1: go to spring training for six to eight weeks and
20:21
Speaker 1: I would miss that last.
20:23
Speaker 2: But I think it's like the last gas.
20:24
Speaker 1: I know, we can go snow all the way up
20:26
Speaker 1: until April or May, yes we can, but it seems
20:29
Speaker 1: like in mid March you get that one. Like those
20:32
Speaker 1: of you guys now homeowners not condo owners like me
20:34
Speaker 1: that have to worry about snow removal, you gotta have
20:37
Speaker 1: that snowblower gassed up and ready to go, because we're
20:40
Speaker 1: gonna get this this weekend and then hopefully that will
20:43
Speaker 1: be it.
20:43
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the thing, Drew, I think after this
20:46
Speaker 2: next week, I'm gonna run the gas out of the snowblower.
20:49
Speaker 1: Well that's gonna be optimistic because they might still have to.
20:51
Speaker 2: But that's that's the question right now.
20:54
Speaker 1: That's the one where I should I'm gonna.
20:55
Speaker 2: Say, don't do that yet. Well, or you know, you
20:58
Speaker 2: would say like tax day is the day, or do
21:00
Speaker 2: like what I didn't just say, you didn't forget and
21:02
Speaker 2: then forget and then just plug and prey and hope
21:05
Speaker 2: that it works.
21:06
Speaker 1: Let that oil turn into chocolate syrup. You just hope
21:09
Speaker 1: for the best. That's for the best. Now.
21:12
Speaker 3: My dad would do it like he wait till summer,
21:14
Speaker 3: like he wasn't messing around with taking a chance. Yeah,
21:17
Speaker 3: he would run it off like in some day in June.
21:19
Speaker 3: The other thing was uh for me, Well, the other
21:22
Speaker 3: thing for me is that you try to thread the needle.
21:24
Speaker 1: It's like, well, then I don't.
21:25
Speaker 3: Want to put too much gas in the snowblower right
21:28
Speaker 3: right now.
21:28
Speaker 2: So it's like you don't want to burn that quarter
21:30
Speaker 2: of a gallon snowblower.
21:32
Speaker 1: One of those we have to mix the oil in,
21:33
Speaker 1: and thankfully it's not my dad's old one was, and
21:37
Speaker 1: I had to do those for a while. That's a pain.
21:40
Speaker 1: So I'm like, why even do that.
21:41
Speaker 3: It's at at that point you're like, all right, I'm
21:42
Speaker 3: just gonna hope this thing melts in two days.
21:45
Speaker 1: You know you could do that strategy to use nature.
21:47
Speaker 2: And really you're just hoping that your buddy comes over
21:49
Speaker 2: from next door.
21:50
Speaker 3: That would be nice because he likes snow. So if
21:52
Speaker 3: he loves snow.
21:54
Speaker 1: The super Scooper said for that, you can just push
21:57
Speaker 1: with the wheels on the wide pusher at state Leyelson
22:01
Speaker 1: Manor West. So yes, that was always a thing. Yeah,
22:03
Speaker 1: but hopefully this will be the last guest. But I
22:05
Speaker 1: have memories of that. And like they make an announcement
22:07
Speaker 1: during the Division two game, like those of you fans
22:11
Speaker 1: from Ousburg, the roads are getting very bad. Highway you know,
22:14
Speaker 1: whatever Highway fifty one is closed, and they'd be like
22:17
Speaker 1: make alternate planet, like they'd be making these announcements about
22:20
Speaker 1: the severe weather while we were sitting in the field house.
22:22
Speaker 2: Well, and that's surreal, and listen that that's a day
22:25
Speaker 2: and time true, that not only fieldhouse that I'm gonna
22:27
Speaker 2: struggle with, because how on earth did you get around
22:30
Speaker 2: if you didn't if you had to actually not, you
22:32
Speaker 2: couldn't even map quest that you weren't even able to
22:34
Speaker 2: go and print off the alternate route. You were just
22:37
Speaker 2: you were just praying that you were going correct on
22:39
Speaker 2: the east west north South border. When I think.
22:42
Speaker 1: About that in the in the historic times, I think
22:45
Speaker 1: about when I look back on this thing that I
22:47
Speaker 1: call a career, I think of how much time I
22:49
Speaker 1: spent transcribing interviews. Like you do an hour worth of
22:53
Speaker 1: interviews on a day at spring training, and you get
22:56
Speaker 1: back to the condo at night or the apartment and
22:58
Speaker 1: have to like listen to it, listen back to my
23:00
Speaker 1: dumb questions and type in the answers. Now they have
23:04
Speaker 1: like basically they have transcriptions to text. You can there's
23:08
Speaker 1: ways to cheat that about that. I wasted so much time,
23:12
Speaker 1: and any writer, my buddy Jeff Perlman does it, like
23:15
Speaker 1: all his interviews. That Tupac book he wrote really really
23:18
Speaker 1: helped seven hundred people. And then have to transcribe those interviews,
23:21
Speaker 1: like sometimes you hire an assistant to do it if
23:23
Speaker 1: you can.
23:24
Speaker 2: But I wasted time doing that. I wasted time waiting.
23:27
Speaker 1: For guys to get out of the clubhouse, the weight room,
23:30
Speaker 1: the shower, the food room, standing and waiting for that
23:34
Speaker 1: last interview. And you know, we mentioned him yesterday with
23:37
Speaker 1: the Trade, But Richie Sexton was one of the worst offenders.
23:40
Speaker 2: He didn't like the media. He didn't. He hated me
23:42
Speaker 2: in hardcore pretty much. But he'd be like.
23:44
Speaker 1: He'd hit two home he'd hit two home runs and
23:47
Speaker 1: drive seven in and then make us wait an hour
23:49
Speaker 1: to come on.
23:50
Speaker 2: Go oh, you guys wanted to talk to me?
23:52
Speaker 1: The only want to talk as are you? You know,
23:56
Speaker 1: like you just you know, you just took your time,
23:58
Speaker 1: you actually used you, you lathered. Rinston repeated three times
24:02
Speaker 1: to make us wait longer in back ass.
24:04
Speaker 2: Holy John Salmons.
24:06
Speaker 1: So I wasted time transcribing, waiting for guys, and then
24:12
Speaker 1: with my rental car in traffic, not knowing where the
24:14
Speaker 1: hell I was going from the hotel to the ballpark,
24:16
Speaker 1: the ballpark to the hotel or wherever, with in the
24:18
Speaker 1: pre ways days like we're.
24:21
Speaker 2: No garment, how am I? There was no garment?
24:23
Speaker 1: No, you weren't bringing that thing around. If you if
24:25
Speaker 1: you spent a lot of time trying to find Magic City,
24:29
Speaker 1: a lot of time, Oh.
24:32
Speaker 2: There's purple neon. Oh wait, it's a tire place.
24:34
Speaker 1: Damn it.
24:35
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to find the ballet studio.
24:38
Speaker 3: Well, you were working off landmarks, and that was one
24:40
Speaker 3: of wastes, you know, That's what I remember in driver's
24:44
Speaker 3: ed you know, I'm as Billy likes the point and
24:46
Speaker 3: I'm an older guy now, an old person.
24:47
Speaker 2: You're up there.
24:48
Speaker 3: Even in drivers at in my day, it was like
24:50
Speaker 3: make sure you have a map in the car and
24:52
Speaker 3: emergencies like you always had. My dad made sure whenever
24:56
Speaker 3: I was driving out the state of Wisconsin map. So
24:58
Speaker 3: you had to have maps and the glove apartment or
25:00
Speaker 3: wherever it was. And that was just part of it
25:03
Speaker 3: because that was your backup if you were lost. You
25:05
Speaker 3: had to have a highway map and or you know,
25:07
Speaker 3: you had to have somebody go and ask somebody for direction.
25:11
Speaker 1: You go on those family trips, family driving trips, and
25:15
Speaker 1: you know, Pops would get the triple A would give
25:17
Speaker 1: you the maps with the route all that's right, we
25:20
Speaker 1: got those.
25:20
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, see that was the pre pre ways days. Kids.
25:24
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, yeah, I still it's different, and ye
25:27
Speaker 2: still survive.
25:27
Speaker 1: You will survived of getting lost, you know.
25:30
Speaker 2: But the real one is you just ask somebody you
25:33
Speaker 2: had that you felt.
25:34
Speaker 1: That it was gonna be saved.
25:35
Speaker 2: In common decency enough, you just walk into any BP
25:39
Speaker 2: and ask somebody, hey, how do I get the highway twenty?
25:43
Speaker 2: Oh buddy? Okay, all right, so here we are. I
25:46
Speaker 2: got you. You're gonna go three miles down over here
25:48
Speaker 2: to take a left over there at that light, and
25:50
Speaker 2: then you're really starting to track on how long the
25:52
Speaker 2: miles would be. That was one of my favorites for
25:56
Speaker 2: my dad. Did you just ask somebody? No, No, one's
25:59
Speaker 2: doing that now.
26:01
Speaker 1: But that's what they would That's what you would do
26:03
Speaker 1: back then. That was your No.
26:04
Speaker 2: You sit through and walk through the hardware store trying
26:07
Speaker 2: for twenty five minutes to figure out the one nut
26:09
Speaker 2: that you need to mix into the bolt. Instead, you
26:11
Speaker 2: could add this guy and he would add in four
26:13
Speaker 2: seconds exactly.
26:14
Speaker 1: Ask Somebody'll, hell, it's amazing change. That's true. I mean
26:17
Speaker 1: hard to a human being. I'm not doing that Google
26:19
Speaker 1: stuff on your phone. Yeah, but like the.
26:23
Speaker 2: I almost feel now it's I'm gonna I'm I'm bugging
26:26
Speaker 2: this person. Actually that person is there to assist in
26:29
Speaker 2: this exact situation, so you might actually be giving them
26:31
Speaker 2: potentially something to do. But it's not twenty twenty six
26:34
Speaker 2: to run through there. I like our friend boss dob
26:37
Speaker 2: or oh sorry arm and fired up our friend Pete.
26:40
Speaker 1: We'll be next.
26:41
Speaker 2: Okay, uh snowhim again. Another media overused. Turn the storm
26:45
Speaker 2: of National Weather Service states that the track is uncertain.
26:48
Speaker 2: Don't believe the hype, well Dobbler, National media is not
26:52
Speaker 2: the issue. It's these phone apps that the weather that
26:55
Speaker 2: people are losing their mind about. So h Arman implored
26:58
Speaker 2: us to get a human being and invest in human meteorologists.
27:03
Speaker 2: So that's why our friend Brooke is coming on here
27:05
Speaker 2: to you know, calm us down from these devices.
27:06
Speaker 3: Guaranteed human and we don't know if it's over hyped
27:09
Speaker 3: until it happens. That's true, So you can't say it's
27:11
Speaker 3: over hyped in I mean, it might be properly hyped.
27:14
Speaker 1: Well, and that's the thing we got to ask Brook.
27:16
Speaker 1: What makes people more mad when you say we're gonna
27:18
Speaker 1: get six to eight inches and we get a dusting
27:21
Speaker 1: and then people cancel their plans, restaurants get pissed? Or
27:24
Speaker 1: is it when they're like when they're not on guard
27:27
Speaker 1: and you get that unexpected like, well it was way
27:29
Speaker 1: more than we thought, or that that front stalled and
27:31
Speaker 1: we got way more than we thought. Like is it
27:34
Speaker 1: over selling or underselling that's more egregious for them?
27:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the answer is yes, Like people will
27:39
Speaker 3: get upset about anything either way.
27:41
Speaker 1: But you're right. I mean, well, that's good. What's worse,
27:44
Speaker 1: I mean, talk to me being prepared is what I
27:47
Speaker 1: would say. That's what people don't want.
27:49
Speaker 2: We've talked to Brooke before about that.
27:50
Speaker 1: My boy Dan Needles was always, you know, the sports
27:53
Speaker 1: guy through and through, was always bitching about whether it
27:55
Speaker 1: get too much airtime, too much treat man. Yeah, he
27:58
Speaker 1: was constantly complaining about that, and he what really pissed
28:01
Speaker 1: him off was you go to like the Fourth of
28:03
Speaker 1: July parade and Mark Baden's in and everybody's like, hey, Mark,
28:06
Speaker 1: thanks for the nice weather, and Needles like, no one
28:08
Speaker 1: thanks me when the Brewers win a game. He has
28:11
Speaker 1: as much to do with that as I do with
28:13
Speaker 1: the result of a sports game, and no one thanks me. Oh,
28:16
Speaker 1: but you know, Baden's smiling. But then and I would say,
28:20
Speaker 1: I would say, Dan, the flip side of that coin
28:22
Speaker 1: is people m f him when it snows and rains
28:25
Speaker 1: on their big day, and no one gets mad at
28:28
Speaker 1: you when the team loses. All right, So it's like
28:30
Speaker 1: you got to wear both sides of that. I would
28:33
Speaker 1: think it would.
28:34
Speaker 2: It was worse in the overestimating days and then all
28:38
Speaker 2: of a sudden, it's a dusting, But now Drew it
28:40
Speaker 2: it definitely is because if you hear that there's gonna
28:43
Speaker 2: be five inches, they're canceling school and everything. Back when
28:46
Speaker 2: we were a proper midwestern Wisconsin society, we waited until
28:49
Speaker 2: we saw six inches of snow on the ground before
28:52
Speaker 2: we started closing the shop and canceling things.
28:54
Speaker 3: Apparently there's getting it up a way up in maryl
28:56
Speaker 3: Our buddy Mike from Merrill says they're getting pounded.
28:59
Speaker 1: Six inch is already, so that canceled.
29:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know that's up. I was obviously, you know,
29:06
Speaker 3: three hours north, but that's just the beginning that edgeable taste. Well,
29:10
Speaker 3: they were talking about.
29:11
Speaker 1: They could get twenty inches this weekend.
29:13
Speaker 2: The tough thing is for our friends up there Merrill
29:16
Speaker 2: and Rhineland or Eagle River, they would have been loving
29:19
Speaker 2: this two months ago when you could have made some
29:21
Speaker 2: cash off in the snowmobiling run. But now spring break,
29:25
Speaker 2: maybe with all the airport cancelations Drew, people are gonna
29:28
Speaker 2: start doing the Northern spring break instead of the Panama
29:32
Speaker 2: City Spring Break. Go gass up that snow uh snowmobile
29:35
Speaker 2: and get up there and enjoy some of this powder
29:37
Speaker 2: that we're getting, and then we're.
29:38
Speaker 3: Gonna get a little cold staff which should keep it
29:40
Speaker 3: on around for at least a few days. But that
29:43
Speaker 3: that's the interesting part. And then maybe next week end
29:45
Speaker 3: of the week it warms up a bit. But yeah,
29:47
Speaker 3: it really depends on what part of the state you're
29:49
Speaker 3: gonna be in, not the play meteorologist, which is gonna
29:52
Speaker 3: really determine how much you get here.
29:54
Speaker 2: So uh, as much as the weather is is what
29:56
Speaker 2: people are worried about right now. I'm excited to know
29:59
Speaker 2: if this is gonna to be Kyler Murray's first taste
30:01
Speaker 2: of real snow. That's a good question, because it's gonna
30:03
Speaker 2: snow up there in Minnesota. My man already had his uh,
30:07
Speaker 2: his Minnesota Viking purple sweatshirt on yesterday told us about
30:10
Speaker 2: how he cried, quote drew real tears, real tears when
30:14
Speaker 2: real tears. When Brett through that pick, I did too.
30:16
Speaker 2: Just maybe have a different reason if they get if
30:21
Speaker 2: they get more than five five five nine, you know,
30:25
Speaker 2: five feet nine inches digging himself either, I'm worried about
30:29
Speaker 2: how he's gonna adjust here. Good little taster to the
30:31
Speaker 2: young man getting himself started up here into the Midwest.
30:34
Speaker 2: I like that, Yeah, I did. I did really appreciate
30:37
Speaker 2: the uh, the memes yesterday of Kyler Murray's face getting
30:40
Speaker 2: cropped in on JJ McCarthy's huh look at the new
30:43
Speaker 2: quarterback room in Minnesota five nine and nine, and all
30:46
Speaker 2: of a sudden, it was just like the little bit
30:48
Speaker 2: of a half of toc Kyler's head.
30:50
Speaker 1: So funny of course that Tea's yeah the perfect Nags tweet.
30:54
Speaker 1: Like every other team has already met their free agents,
30:57
Speaker 1: and the Packers haven't introduced their new defensive court that
31:00
Speaker 1: they heard a month ago. They're they're introducing them in
31:03
Speaker 1: team gear.
31:04
Speaker 2: Fan addicts even has them stuff we hear Fromannon one
31:08
Speaker 2: heard from him or anybody.
31:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're getting all the I love all the
31:13
Speaker 1: Like yesterday we started to get the official announcements and
31:17
Speaker 1: releases about the transactions that we've known about for a
31:19
Speaker 1: couple of days, like.
31:20
Speaker 2: Rashaun Gary trade is complete.
31:23
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks man, It's it's Friday.
31:25
Speaker 2: Rashid Walker, do you know where your next show is?
31:27
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that time. That is one of
31:29
Speaker 1: the unexpected things. Is there a chance he could come
31:32
Speaker 1: back to twelve sixty five.
31:33
Speaker 2: The longer it goes, the more you would think it's
31:36
Speaker 2: gotta be, the more you would think chance.
31:38
Speaker 1: All right, we're rolling through a Friday. We're glad you're
31:40
Speaker 1: hanging out with us early and often. Our Monday show
31:43
Speaker 1: might be interesting. You're gonna have to get the idea.
31:46
Speaker 2: You might have to you might have to grab some
31:48
Speaker 2: gear on the way out of here. I think, yeah,
31:51
Speaker 2: that's not a bad. I feel like that. That might
31:53
Speaker 2: be a bad. That might be a show from Staley
31:54
Speaker 2: Olsen Manner. That might be I don't know.
31:56
Speaker 1: If I'm fired up to do it at five am,
31:58
Speaker 1: that's gonna say. It's probably out. It's not the Lenai
32:01
Speaker 1: at Del Boca Vista, but it's.
32:03
Speaker 2: You know, might have some more some more angry folks.
32:06
Speaker 1: My uh my wife and dog might not like the
32:08
Speaker 1: show that much. But that's the only people I would inconvenience.
32:12
Speaker 1: We are going to We're going to take a quick break.
32:15
Speaker 1: As we mentioned, about an hour from now, Brook Brighton's
32:17

33:08
Speaker 1: from here. It's just small road bumps. It's not the
33:12
Speaker 1: it's not you don't you know you only adjust your sales.
33:14
Speaker 3: You don't. You can't handle the wind? What is it
33:17
Speaker 3: the term sure? Something about you can adjust your sales.
33:20
Speaker 3: You can't control the wind. And you had to control
33:22
Speaker 3: it this morning, because is Wendy still is?
33:25
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't I don't sail, but I
33:26
Speaker 2: do know that it's difficult and it's tough. It's tough
33:29
Speaker 2: in these murky waters. But you know what, you're getting better.
33:31
Speaker 2: It's only gonna get better. We're only gonna get better
33:33
Speaker 2: from here. Because you hope. We add in a lot
33:36
Speaker 2: more voices here into the second and third hour of
33:38
Speaker 2: the show. That's usually usually when we do get better. True,
33:40
Speaker 2: no doubt.
33:41
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven seven N three gets you the nicolay
33:44
Speaker 1: La dot com talking text line.
33:46
Speaker 2: Bucks lose at Miami last night. They were in it
33:48
Speaker 2: scrappy game.
33:49
Speaker 1: Giannis missed the three that would have tied the game,
33:52
Speaker 1: and then Bam scored the other way.
33:54
Speaker 2: I guess well, and the Bucks did point out last
33:57
Speaker 2: night on their social media account he didn't score eighty
33:59
Speaker 2: three points and then they got dunked on by the
34:01
Speaker 2: heat appropriately, So you know what, though, it was entertaining
34:06
Speaker 2: and and drew. That's that's where I've now set the
34:09
Speaker 2: Uh that's that's where I've set the standard for a
34:12
Speaker 2: night sitting down watching Bucks basketball is can I be entertained?
34:16
Speaker 2: And it was entertaining last night and win?
34:19
Speaker 1: They played?
34:20
Speaker 3: I mean I thought relatively hard, perfect and they and
34:23
Speaker 3: they gave their Yeah, it was actually they gave their
34:25
Speaker 3: They gave a decent effort.
34:26
Speaker 1: It was competitive. They almost won. It wasn't you know,
34:29
Speaker 1: it wasn't.
34:30
Speaker 3: Some sort of depressing forty point blow out at least
34:33
Speaker 3: and they played in the end.
34:35
Speaker 1: Now, Bam was tired.
34:36
Speaker 3: He mentioned that like, look after I put up eighty three,
34:39
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go for three. You know, I'm gonna go
34:41
Speaker 3: for five from three. So that's just the way it is,
34:43
Speaker 3: and he's he's saying, look, I was tired. It's been
34:46
Speaker 3: crazy forty eight hours. Eric Spolster apologizing to no one,
34:49
Speaker 3: which I thought was interesting. I'm like, okay, well I
34:51
Speaker 3: didn't know who asked you do apologize, but you know
34:54
Speaker 3: that was that was part of it last night. But
34:56
Speaker 3: at least they gave it a there will. At least
34:58
Speaker 3: they gave it an old college try, as you would say.
35:01
Speaker 2: They did go out there and get it. Give it
35:03
Speaker 2: your best effort. Boys, Come on now, put put forth something.
35:06
Speaker 2: Do you give us something to watch? Give us something
35:08
Speaker 2: to be entertained by. I was also entertained yesterday by Drew,
35:11
Speaker 2: one of Arman's favorite c B. Buckner uh getting not one,
35:15
Speaker 2: not two, but three pitches overturned in the first inning.
35:18
Speaker 1: Hilarious.
35:19
Speaker 2: Hello, we are we are. We are full bore into
35:23
Speaker 2: the ABS challenge system. And I'm just excited to know
35:28
Speaker 2: how long will it take? Because I did get to
35:30
Speaker 2: see some different pictures of play by play broadcasters. Their
35:33
Speaker 2: scorecards are coming in. Everybody's getting fully prepared for the season.
35:37
Speaker 2: Is there gonna be like a quick sudden pause, just
35:40
Speaker 2: waiting to make sure before you finally chart into that
35:43
Speaker 2: that scorecard. Is this gonna is this gonna change the
35:45
Speaker 2: official scoring?
35:46
Speaker 1: Uh?
35:47
Speaker 2: Just you got to take a quick pause for this
35:49
Speaker 2: challenge system or so you have to document every one
35:51
Speaker 2: of these.
35:52
Speaker 1: Not much, I don't think so of the a bs.
35:54
Speaker 1: That'll be somebody else's duty. But it's no different than well,
35:59
Speaker 1: that's you know, still in base number fifteen for schmid
36:03
Speaker 1: Oh after further review put out goost two six am mad.
36:08
Speaker 1: So it's kind of it's not any different than that,
36:11
Speaker 1: Like you just have to kind of get away to
36:12
Speaker 1: beat to make sure, you know. But yeah, that doesn't
36:14
Speaker 1: that's not good effect. And it's going to happen so quickly.
36:16
Speaker 1: I think it'll be pretty seamless.
36:18
Speaker 2: I'm excited to be able to see how it gets
36:20
Speaker 2: instituted in the in the stand and how teams saved there.
36:22
Speaker 2: Is it better to use them on offense or.
36:25
Speaker 3: The strategy there is interesting? Yeah, and how late do
36:28
Speaker 3: you wait?
36:28
Speaker 1: Right?
36:29
Speaker 2: Like the Brewers did had one game earlier in the
36:31
Speaker 2: year when they were on Brewers TV and they burned
36:33
Speaker 2: all of them in the first inning and and you
36:36
Speaker 2: saw Murph kind of chuckling over into the dugout. I
36:38
Speaker 2: would imagine you're a little bit different be doing that.
36:41
Speaker 2: But also, like, you know, if William Contreras is telling
36:43
Speaker 2: Murph that's a strike, Bob, I don't know that Murph
36:48
Speaker 2: is going to be, uh calling out William Contrera's for
36:50
Speaker 2: missing and failing on a number of these different challenges.
36:53
Speaker 2: Get it the other waters roll.
36:54
Speaker 1: And there's two ways to look at it.
36:56
Speaker 3: You might never have a chance to use it again,
36:58
Speaker 3: so you might take yourself all right, I'm gonna at
37:00
Speaker 3: least get the get the calls now that I know
37:03
Speaker 3: exist right over the potential of calls.
37:06
Speaker 1: The way baseball works with the what I like to
37:08
Speaker 1: call the butterfly effect. You can be down five runs,
37:12
Speaker 1: nobody on, and a one to one pitch goes one
37:15
Speaker 1: way and it flips the inning like it just you know,
37:18
Speaker 1: or a one to two pitch that's a strike is
37:20
Speaker 1: called a ball, and then that guy gets on and
37:22
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, we've scored eight runs
37:24
Speaker 1: with two outs, and it's like, oh, it all goes
37:27
Speaker 1: back to that one pitch, one pitch. Yeah, I'm flipping inning.
37:30
Speaker 1: That's what's one of the great things about baseball.
37:32
Speaker 2: It's that's why I'm excited to be able to get
37:34
Speaker 2: get the call right seemingly every time. Also, I'm excited
37:38
Speaker 2: to have the consternation when you're out of challenges and
37:41
Speaker 2: you're rolling into the eighth and night.
37:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, not unlike well, poops and right, you like we
37:47
Speaker 1: all have this like the limit on the challenges now, well,
37:50
Speaker 1: and who's.
37:51
Speaker 2: Good at it right out of the gates, right, Like,
37:52
Speaker 2: there's gonna be some teams that are inherently gonna be
37:55
Speaker 2: better at it than other's very good.
37:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, some guys that are just the finger spinners that
37:59
Speaker 1: are mad that they got.
38:01
Speaker 2: I mean, like somebody is I don't mean this meanly.
38:04
Speaker 2: Somebody's matt l the floor, right, somebody's bad at challenges,
38:08
Speaker 2: you know, and it's going to fail more times than not.
38:10
Speaker 1: Right, all right, Well, when the when the Astros got
38:14
Speaker 1: caught with the garbage can thing and they were stealing signs, Yeah,
38:17
Speaker 1: people were mad throughout the game and the general managers
38:21
Speaker 1: and stuff they were mad.
38:23
Speaker 2: They weren't it was maybe split.
38:24
Speaker 1: They were mad at the audacity and the way that
38:27
Speaker 1: the Astros cheated and cheated the integrity of the game.
38:30
Speaker 1: Probably you know, maybe one series or games that they
38:32
Speaker 1: shouldn't have won. They're also mad at their own people
38:35
Speaker 1: for not devising a scheme like that, for not thinking
38:37
Speaker 1: of it, for not cheating better and doing a better
38:40
Speaker 1: job of stealing signs than they were. So while there
38:42
Speaker 1: was like you know, outrage on the outside, internally it's like, hey,
38:46
Speaker 1: why aren't we doing this? Why are why don't we
38:47
Speaker 1: have this edge? Where's that? Let's create an apartment of
38:50
Speaker 1: finding ways to cheat using technology?
38:54
Speaker 2: That was also a reaction. We're paying you all how
38:59
Speaker 2: much to for a fact.
39:00
Speaker 1: Having talking to some executives that that was the reaction
39:03
Speaker 1: in some camps was like we should be better at cheating. Well,
39:06
Speaker 1: I mean, I got they won a World Series and
39:09
Speaker 1: then what was the penalty?
39:09
Speaker 2: Not much? Yeah, I think there were a lot of
39:11
Speaker 2: people everythinking the exact same thing when with Belichick, and
39:14
Speaker 2: there is more of the reason why they're like, wait
39:16
Speaker 2: a second, we're really that worried about the inflation of
39:19
Speaker 2: footballs now? I think we need to calm down on
39:22
Speaker 2: what we're nervous.
39:22
Speaker 3: Now when it's our team winning, when it's them, then
39:24
Speaker 3: it's something we can Yeah, you.
39:27
Speaker 1: Know eight seven seven seven nineven three free Form Friday
39:31
Speaker 1: on the program. We'll take any thoughts that you have
39:34
Speaker 1: Brooke Brighton joins a six forty met lepe At seven thirty,
39:37
Speaker 1: Dolph comes in for halftime. Again, like, we're getting ready?
39:41
Speaker 1: What are we getting ready for a while? The Big
39:42
Speaker 1: Ten Tournament's election Sunday?
39:44
Speaker 2: Are we ready?
39:44
Speaker 1: Like that seems like it's sneaking up on us even
39:46
Speaker 1: though it's championship week.
39:48
Speaker 2: Well, I'm we're not ready yet. We're not ready yet
39:50
Speaker 2: because we haven't heard armins Uh. I can't wait for
39:54
Speaker 2: this tweeted out uh mirandum that he is going to
39:58
Speaker 2: put out the the decision that needs be made for
40:01
Speaker 2: Miami of Ohio. I'm excited that's coming up at seven o'clock. Yeah,
40:05
Speaker 2: that's what you need to do, what needs to be
40:08
Speaker 2: able to do. And if they don't do this, then
40:10
Speaker 2: Arman Sarien says, you're damn wrong.
40:13
Speaker 1: No, I think it's a solution that might satisfy all sides.
40:15
Speaker 3: Let's just put it that way for a right, all right,
40:18
Speaker 3: might satisfiable one because everyone's arguing about Miami.
40:21
Speaker 2: You're ready for the bad beat of the day. Rash
40:24
Speaker 2: came from the ACC Tournament quarterfinal. The Clemson Tigers were
40:28
Speaker 2: one and a half point favorites as they stepped up
40:31
Speaker 2: to the foul line with point seven seconds to go,
40:35
Speaker 2: trying to avoid the upset and survive in advance. Well, Drew,
40:40
Speaker 2: you're up eighteen, You're now up one with two seconds
40:43
Speaker 2: to go. You're shooting one free throw. What do you
40:45
Speaker 2: do You missed that thing on purpose?
40:50
Speaker 1: UNC survives.
40:51
Speaker 2: Well, no, they cover the plus one and a half
40:54
Speaker 2: when trailing by eighteen in the second half of it.
40:57
Speaker 3: You know, every bad beat is someone's good beat. Why
40:58
Speaker 3: are we looking at some negative.
41:00
Speaker 1: That's true because a lot of times we're on the
41:02
Speaker 1: wrong side of it. Yeah, all right, Arman's going to
41:04
Speaker 1: have his solution. As we mentioned, it's going to be
41:06
Speaker 1: a fun last two hours to stay where you are.
41:08
Speaker 2: It's the Huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin
