- 0:17Speaker 2: today playing some golf. It is game balls and kicks
- 0:20Speaker 2: to the balls day after a busy weekend. Let's get
- 0:23Speaker 2: that thing fired up right now. Hunter Bromgart's going to
- 0:25Speaker 2: join us an hour from now. He will be with
- 0:27Speaker 2: us from seven to eight today filling in Dolf. Will
- 0:30Speaker 2: not be here for our halftime report because Dolph is
- 0:32Speaker 2: also on the golf course today. Everybody that's playing golf
- 0:35Speaker 2: today has a good time and raises some money and
- 0:37Speaker 2: has some fun. But it's game balls and kicks to
- 0:40Speaker 2: the balls Monday. Let's get that fired up. You know
- 0:42Speaker 2: the drill. It's a Monday and we're simulating the postgame
- 0:47Speaker 2: locker room, and it's a victory. It's happy. People are
- 0:49Speaker 2: standing around in their sports underwear towels and you get
- 0:52Speaker 2: to hold it off a game ball and present it
- 0:56Speaker 2: to someone for a job well done today. On the program,
- 1:00Speaker 2: that sounds like this.
- 1:01Speaker 3: The cracking rises from the depths of the sea.
- 1:05Speaker 4: You heard on the update as well. I couldn't really
- 1:07Speaker 4: help it. That was a great call from Lev on
- 1:09Speaker 4: the Sanchez homer. I don't know what the deal was.
- 1:12Speaker 4: Did I miss a reference there somewhere? Drew? Is he
- 1:15Speaker 4: just channeling his innermad Vest version and yelling out random
- 1:18Speaker 4: non sequiturs?
- 1:19Speaker 5: Now? Is that what it is? But I love it.
- 1:21Speaker 5: I love it. I'm a huge fan obviously loves the man.
- 1:24Speaker 5: So there you go. That's for a game ball today,
- 1:27Speaker 5: all right, that's a.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Game ball now.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Conversely, if someone needs to performance improvement plan, if they
- 1:32Speaker 2: need a swift kick to the wavos to get their
- 1:34Speaker 2: attention and just you know, shake them up a little bit,
- 1:38Speaker 2: that sounds like this.
- 1:40Speaker 5: Didn't see it, didn't see it. That was when Bryce
- 1:44Speaker 5: lost the ball in the sun. Listen, all is well?
- 1:46Speaker 4: That ends with all The Brewers recovered fine from that
- 1:49Speaker 4: and won the game, obviously, But that's a tough moment.
- 1:52Speaker 4: There's no worse feeling that when you're on the ball
- 1:53Speaker 4: field than you lose the ball in the sun. Right,
- 1:55Speaker 4: you feel totally vulnerable, neutered, you know, way like I
- 2:02Speaker 4: don't know what else to say. You're protecting yourself and
- 2:05Speaker 4: your ego all at the same time. So that was
- 2:09Speaker 4: a tough moment, but the Brewers overcame it. But that's
- 2:11Speaker 4: our case to the bulls. And that's when the car
- 2:13Speaker 4: Rockies broadcasting.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Fantastic eight seven seven seven three gets you in. You
- 2:20Speaker 2: can also you can reach out to us. There's already
- 2:22Speaker 2: comments on the YouTube stream.

- 2:26Speaker 5: comment on some of those.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Love the Nicola lot dot com talking text on you
- 2:29Speaker 2: want to weigh in on the bachelor party slash wedding
- 2:31Speaker 2: discussion that we had in the first hour. Arm And
- 2:34Speaker 2: of course was at South Beach for a bachelor party
- 2:36Speaker 2: and I was at a wedding on Saturday. And the
- 2:39Speaker 2: unprecedented thing of having the ladies first buffet. Yeah, that
- 2:42Speaker 2: was something that you leave your mate and you don't
- 2:45Speaker 2: eat together. Ladies first buffet. It was, you know unique.
- 2:48Speaker 2: I didn't hate it, you know, thankfully I wasn't starving
- 2:52Speaker 2: at the time because that could have been a factor.
- 2:55Speaker 2: But let's uh, let's let's have some fun with game
- 2:59Speaker 2: balls and kicks to the balls. We should start and
- 3:02Speaker 2: maybe we'll double up because I think the miss is
- 3:08Speaker 2: getting a game ball.
- 3:09Speaker 3: The cracking rises from the depths of the sea.
- 3:12Speaker 5: He's got a permanent game ball going on.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Yeah he does.
- 3:16Speaker 4: Yeah, And to talk back to him, you gonna have
- 3:19Speaker 4: two balls, two game balls.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Big waves.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Yeah you got big but yeah to uh, to do
- 3:25Speaker 2: what he did and to pitch the way he did
- 3:27Speaker 2: and to again, we're we're enjoying the freak show. That
- 3:31Speaker 2: is the miss the best way, in the best way.
- 3:34Speaker 2: He's very I mean, I said last year, he reminds
- 3:36Speaker 2: me of Jannis. I get that, and I can totally
- 3:39Speaker 2: relate to see.
- 3:41Speaker 4: It's the personality, the sort of you know, the whimsical
- 3:45Speaker 4: nature of his youth right now. I mean there's a
- 3:46Speaker 4: lot of that gangly and just bursting on the scene
- 3:49Speaker 4: and doing stuff that no one's ever seen anyone do it,
- 3:52Speaker 4: and having a childlike thing, like he's not Buddy the Elf,
- 3:55Speaker 4: but he is a big kid. He goes to card
- 3:58Speaker 4: shops and talks to people, and he plays Pokemon Go
- 4:01Speaker 4: and all that stuff.
- 4:01Speaker 5: He's got the huge Pokemon like Carbo.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Missus is getting a game ball for again dazzling us
- 4:07Speaker 2: and doing stuff.
- 4:08Speaker 5: And I've talked to people and everybody's like, is he
- 4:10Speaker 5: gonna get hurt?
- 4:11Speaker 4: Is his arm gonna blow up? I got that same
- 4:13Speaker 4: question this weekend. I met my cousin's buddies. They're all
- 4:16Speaker 4: Dodger fans. So once this guy going for Tommy John Harmon, come.
- 4:19Speaker 2: On, it's a natural thing because we've never seen anybody
- 4:22Speaker 2: throw as many pitches over one hundred miles an hour
- 4:24Speaker 2: as he does. So you wonder about the limits of
- 4:26Speaker 2: human performance. But he gets that. And while we're at it,
- 4:30Speaker 2: we can name him our Current Electric Superhero of the Day,
- 4:33Speaker 2: brought to just by call Current Current Electric dot com,
- 4:38Speaker 2: Current electricco dot com.

- 5:02Speaker 2: they can hook you up. We talk about the generator
- 5:04Speaker 2: installation which gives everybody a peace of mind. When the
- 5:06Speaker 2: sump pumps are important. They do solar work, they have
- 5:09Speaker 2: EV chargers, they're the best. Check them out. Call Current
- 5:12Speaker 2: dot com and Current Electricco dot com. So MS gets
- 5:17Speaker 2: a he gets a game ball for.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Sure, no question.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's got a perpetual one. He's he's
- 5:22Speaker 4: just doing well. And he's also he's got the game ball.
- 5:25Speaker 4: But also I think here of the days is apropos
- 5:28Speaker 4: for his performance. I think so too. And listen, I'm
- 5:30Speaker 4: telling you when you can stare back Murph and stand up,
- 5:33Speaker 4: that wasn't charging you now, especially when he ends up
- 5:36Speaker 4: coming through, right, I mean, now, he's a big factor.
- 5:39Speaker 4: I mean if miss you know, told Murph to go
- 5:42Speaker 4: back and sit down in the dugout after he did
- 5:44Speaker 4: that and said no, I'm finishing this and then.
- 5:47Speaker 5: Gave up four runs, it feels a little bit different.
- 5:49Speaker 4: You feel a little bit different about the process when
- 5:52Speaker 4: the result is in the same. But Drew in this case,
- 5:54Speaker 4: when it comes out and he comes through and the
- 5:56Speaker 4: movie ends and he strikes him out.
- 5:58Speaker 5: Boy did that feel good to see you?
- 6:00Speaker 4: Do you see a guy kid like that with the
- 6:02Speaker 4: stones and the wherewithal say no, no, get back, get back.
- 6:06Speaker 4: It's like it's like what you'd see out of a
- 6:08Speaker 4: wily old vet in like a baseball movie, you know,
- 6:12Speaker 4: just like but a young kid like that.
- 6:14Speaker 5: To Murph, oh, I just loved it.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Amazing, amazing, all right eight seven seven seven nine four
- 6:19Speaker 2: ninety seven three to the Nicolay Lottock. I'm talking text
- 6:22Speaker 2: line Adam from Rothschild, Wisconsin game Ball to the Brewers
- 6:26Speaker 2: on their sweep of the rock the.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Cracking rises from the depths of the sea.
- 6:30Speaker 2: And then Adam's gonna double that with a kick to
- 6:32Speaker 2: the Huevos to the Birds playing in Vegas tonight and
- 6:36Speaker 2: West Coast Star times in MLB.
- 6:37Speaker 3: Didn't see it.
- 6:38Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a tough one.
- 6:40Speaker 2: That's not an MLB specific thing because the NBA and
- 6:43Speaker 2: the NHL people play on the West Coast.
- 6:45Speaker 5: Everybody does that. Yeah, but it's nass.
- 6:47Speaker 2: The NFL will manipulate it because they start a little bit.
- 6:49Speaker 2: You know, they're a little bit they're not as severe
- 6:51Speaker 2: in the window. You don't get ten o'clock starts in
- 6:53Speaker 2: the NFL generally speaking.
- 6:55Speaker 1: But I hear you. It's just it's just it is
- 6:58Speaker 1: what it is right.
- 6:59Speaker 5: Yeah, it is and it's not.
- 7:00Speaker 4: I mean if you're expecting to, you know, either playing
- 7:03Speaker 4: in Las Vegas Ballpark, which is the minor league park,
- 7:06Speaker 4: so that's gonna be interesting too. I don't know what
- 7:08Speaker 4: the atmosphere is going to be like, I know, you know,
- 7:10Speaker 4: initially we had tons of ideas about going out there
- 7:13Speaker 4: for this one and stuff. Then the tickets have dropped,
- 7:16Speaker 4: which is interesting if you are out there. I know
- 7:18Speaker 4: there's plenty of Brewers fans out there now. But uh yeah,
- 7:22Speaker 4: the late star times, that's just part of West Coast trips.
- 7:24Speaker 5: I mean, that's what it is. Still stinks, Bud, That's
- 7:26Speaker 5: what it is, all.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Right, Dan and West Bend on the Nicolay Lott Co.
- 7:30Speaker 2: I'm talking text line game ball to Tyler Freeman of
- 7:33Speaker 2: the Rockies the.
- 7:34Speaker 3: Cracking rises from the depths of the sea.
- 7:37Speaker 2: For taking a ninety eight mile pitch to the head
- 7:40Speaker 2: from miz and staying on his feet.
- 7:41Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that was a scary one.
- 7:43Speaker 2: That one hitting the helmet? Was that noise like? Oh
- 7:46Speaker 2: and hey, kudos to miss for shaking that one off.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Because anybody who was old enough to remember when Mike
- 7:51Speaker 2: fires hit Mike John Carlos Stanton. Yeah, yep, that fires
- 7:55Speaker 2: one shook him up and it was something else and
- 7:57Speaker 2: that was.
- 7:58Speaker 4: I remember, that was really tough for fires and he
- 8:00Speaker 4: wasn't right after that, and there was a little bit
- 8:02Speaker 4: of a fight, and I don't know if he ever
- 8:03Speaker 4: recovered from that, to be honest with you. So yeah,
- 8:06Speaker 4: good on Miz to understand the situation. And I'm glad
- 8:08Speaker 4: no one got hurt worse. I mean, that obviously is
- 8:10Speaker 4: a scary situation.
- 8:11Speaker 5: All right.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Uh, game ball to all the baseball fans and everybody
- 8:15Speaker 2: who rode the wave and went and saw the Savannah
- 8:18Speaker 2: Bananas adjacent games at American Family Field over the weekend.
- 8:22Speaker 3: Cracking rises from the depths of the sea.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Why that, Jeff and Fox points said, My family went
- 8:28Speaker 2: to Banana ball on Sunday, so to Billy's and we're
- 8:31Speaker 2: gonna hear from Billy soon. I get the entertainment, including
- 8:33Speaker 2: the music, dancing, and games, was good, but the actual
- 8:36Speaker 2: baseball game was subpar. Okay, my kids liked Party the mascot.
- 8:41Speaker 2: My baseball playing kids were also confused by the whacked
- 8:43Speaker 2: out rules.
- 8:44Speaker 1: One and done for us.
- 8:46Speaker 5: Okay, now, can I give a kick to the ball
- 8:48Speaker 5: to the opinion. I mean, I just see it. You
- 8:52Speaker 5: have to understand what you're going at you're getting going
- 8:54Speaker 5: into it.
- 8:54Speaker 4: You don't go watching the Hart and glowtrotters thinking why
- 8:56Speaker 4: aren't they pivoting better? Why are they call them three
- 8:59Speaker 4: and the Key? I okay, so you said you didn't
- 9:02Speaker 4: like that the baseball was apart. Okay, this is not
- 9:05Speaker 4: a Major League baseball game. No, they're still playing decent ball.
- 9:08Speaker 4: But you're not going there to watch the best in
- 9:09Speaker 4: the bigs, right, You're going there to watch the best
- 9:12Speaker 4: in entertainment.
- 9:14Speaker 5: A lot of these guys peaked at like the Milkmanal.
- 9:16Speaker 4: Yeah, this is about baseball entertainment. This isn't about seeing
- 9:19Speaker 4: the best like fundamental. I'm gonna be a you know,
- 9:22Speaker 4: hard ow and teach my kids about like the Tommy
- 9:25Speaker 4: Manski rules baseball. If your kids would prefer a regular game,
- 9:29Speaker 4: that's fine, but you have to know what you're getting
- 9:30Speaker 4: going into it. I think everybody by now knows what
- 9:32Speaker 4: the banana ball situation is. So either allow yourself that
- 9:37Speaker 4: it's like going to a movie and the guys that say, oh, well,
- 9:39Speaker 4: goodn that happened. That's not realistic. Yeah, well, you have
- 9:41Speaker 4: a little suspension of disbelief. I'm sorry, And that's what
- 9:44Speaker 4: banana ball is. Not knowing the rules. Okay, that's one thing,
- 9:47Speaker 4: and it's their job to market it and explain to everybody.
- 9:49Speaker 4: And I'm sure they did their share of doing that
- 9:51Speaker 4: in the scoreboard. But it seems like people that allow
- 9:53Speaker 4: themselves to enjoy it were enjoying it for what it
- 9:55Speaker 4: was drew, which.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Is not spectacles and like the tailgate and the music,
- 10:00Speaker 2: the bands and the player availability, and I know there
- 10:02Speaker 2: was some VIP meet and greets and stuff like that,
- 10:04Speaker 2: but you know, if you're if you're a young kid,
- 10:07Speaker 2: meeting anybody in a uniform that's a player is a thrill.
- 10:10Speaker 1: I mean, young kids will ask high school players for
- 10:12Speaker 1: their autogram.
- 10:12Speaker 4: And Billy will tell us is his son. I mean
- 10:15Speaker 4: one of his favorite players is the banana ball guy.
- 10:17Speaker 5: I don't know what his name is.
- 10:18Speaker 4: Okay, So you know what, Yes, it's it's it's more
- 10:22Speaker 4: for the kids, and kids like fun and God forbid,
- 10:24Speaker 4: we get together and actually enjoy ourselves, you know what.
- 10:27Speaker 5: I mean?
- 10:27Speaker 2: What was Tim Kirkshon's quote about it, like it's the
- 10:30Speaker 2: stupidest thing I've ever seen and.
- 10:31Speaker 1: I love it.
- 10:32Speaker 5: That what's cool about it? It's supposed to be.
- 10:34Speaker 4: I mean there's a lot of things in life, in
- 10:37Speaker 4: media and everything where it's kookie. What about a circus,
- 10:40Speaker 4: what about a clown? I mean, yeah, those are gofy
- 10:43Speaker 4: at the point. So you're not telling you you have
- 10:46Speaker 4: to love but animal, I'm not telling you have to
- 10:48Speaker 4: like I think it's the greatest thing ever. Or you
- 10:51Speaker 4: can prefer real baseball over it. But know what you're
- 10:55Speaker 4: watching going into it, and take it as such. Watch
- 10:57Speaker 4: it through that prism. Don't watch it thinking I'm supposed
- 11:00Speaker 4: to see great, great ballplayers playing Tommy Manski fundamental ball,
- 11:04Speaker 4: like if they are, if they aren't great, if they're
- 11:07Speaker 4: dancing around great And I got news for you, you might
- 11:09Speaker 4: not like it. But kids love dancing now, they love
- 11:12Speaker 4: dancing on TikTok, they love coming up dancing. I'm in
- 11:14Speaker 4: the airport troop and there's a batchel of red party
- 11:17Speaker 4: on their way and we're about to board. It's like
- 11:19Speaker 4: done a group, not seven, because it's like nine groups,
- 11:22Speaker 4: you know, and we're a group four or five, and
- 11:24Speaker 4: these girls are setting up their phone to do a
- 11:26Speaker 4: dance before they go on. They gotta tape content. That's
- 11:29Speaker 4: the world now, it's just what it is. Got to
- 11:31Speaker 4: create that content, all right, I have a kicking the balls.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Okay, sir, didn't see it.
- 11:37Speaker 4: Kicking the balls and not to you for a real
- 11:40Speaker 4: wild teach troop, ta troop, a real wild troop on YouTube.
- 11:44Speaker 5: Not to you for the comment. I understand it's funny. Hah.
- 11:47Speaker 5: His is arm and congrats in the new place.
- 11:49Speaker 4: Yes, my hacker's struck again, So kicking the balls to
- 11:52Speaker 4: whoever is continuing to hack my Twitter account. I've had
- 11:54Speaker 4: no luck from the Ex support. I'm gonna give them
- 11:57Speaker 4: a kicking the balls as well. They told me we
- 11:59Speaker 4: cannot help you at this time. I'm trying to get
- 12:00Speaker 4: in seven days because your email account has been changed. Yes,
- 12:03Speaker 4: the email has been changed because it's hacked. So for
- 12:07Speaker 4: people still wondering, I'm sure they're not out there, although
- 12:09Speaker 4: I was surprised.
- 12:11Speaker 5: At the people checking in. They make sure Drew.
- 12:13Speaker 4: Yes, my Twitter account, my EX account is still compromised.
- 12:17Speaker 4: It's fake. It's a hack. Don't believe anything you see.
- 12:20Speaker 4: And no, well I did move into a new house in.
- 12:22Speaker 5: The last year in green Field.
- 12:24Speaker 4: No, it's not that fancy house that they put on
- 12:27Speaker 4: Twitter that I quote unquote moved into.
- 12:29Speaker 5: That is not my new house.
- 12:30Speaker 4: No, there are no houses like that, I don't think
- 12:32Speaker 4: anywhere Milwaukee County.
- 12:36Speaker 5: It's not.
- 12:36Speaker 4: I didn't so kicking the ball to my hacker for
- 12:39Speaker 4: continuing this ridiculousness.
- 12:40Speaker 5: And they're getting creative now, Drew.
- 12:42Speaker 4: They're retweeting Brewers and Bucks accounts, trying to act like me,
- 12:46Speaker 4: and it's kind of creeping me out.
- 12:47Speaker 5: How deep they're trying to go with this troll.
- 12:49Speaker 2: And where are you in the process of trying to
- 12:51Speaker 2: get a human being to respond to your nowhere being hacked?
- 12:54Speaker 2: Because this happened to Elbaldo Sabe and he had to
- 12:57Speaker 2: write it out.
- 12:58Speaker 1: How long was his It.
- 13:01Speaker 4: Was a long time And eventually he told me that
- 13:03Speaker 4: they finally contacted someone that worked at Twitter that they
- 13:05Speaker 4: found that was the only way he got out of it.
- 13:08Speaker 4: And it was a long time, if you remember. So
- 13:10Speaker 4: I'm dug in for a long ride. But the reality
- 13:12Speaker 4: is they're not helpful at all.
- 13:14Speaker 2: How has your consumption on the phone and just your
- 13:17Speaker 2: addiction to doom scrolling has been affected?
- 13:21Speaker 4: It's been affected because my first thought a lot of times, admittedly,
- 13:24Speaker 4: is I gotta, I gotta tweet something. I gotta I
- 13:26Speaker 4: gotta tweet my opinion on this. I want to talk
- 13:28Speaker 4: about this. And it's sort of like mascularly, it's not
- 13:31Speaker 4: the right word. It's it's weird to feel like you
- 13:33Speaker 4: can't talk to anybody. It's a weird feeling because it's frustrating.
- 13:37Speaker 4: But then again, Drew, it's like, I do feel out
- 13:39Speaker 4: of the loop more. I'm not on Twitter as much now.
- 13:42Speaker 4: I'm using a different account of our station accounts things
- 13:44Speaker 4: like that to read tweets, but it's not my timeline.
- 13:48Speaker 4: It's not the same, and I can't communicate with people
- 13:50Speaker 4: the way I want to. Well, I love Twitter. Billy
- 13:52Speaker 4: always jokes about how much I used it. It's because
- 13:55Speaker 4: I love chopping it up with listeners fans about sports.
- 13:57Speaker 2: How long to you cave in and create real arm
- 14:00Speaker 2: and sorry Armen, sorry and official and then pay for
- 14:03Speaker 2: the blue check mark?
- 14:04Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the next question, the blue check mark.
- 14:06Speaker 4: I create another account and I might start using it,
- 14:10Speaker 4: but it's like, do I pay for the blue check
- 14:11Speaker 4: mark at that point? Then?
- 14:12Speaker 5: And then at the coops we two factor authentication have
- 14:15Speaker 5: helped you in this? I think so. I think that's
- 14:17Speaker 5: the lesson I learned is how important it is.
- 14:19Speaker 4: The issue I've had, Drew is the two factor authentication
- 14:23Speaker 4: was changed on my account and I didn't have it,
- 14:27Speaker 4: and that's been my barrier to get back in. Okay,
- 14:29Speaker 4: while I was hacked, I couldn't get back in and
- 14:31Speaker 4: change the password because someone set up the hackers set
- 14:34Speaker 4: up two factor, which is now preventing me from getting
- 14:36Speaker 4: to that next spot. Yeah, I'm learning my lesson hopefully
- 14:39Speaker 4: and trying to remind myself, Hey, it's not the end
- 14:42Speaker 4: of the world.
- 14:42Speaker 5: At least it wasn't your bank account. So that's true.
- 14:44Speaker 5: So that's true.
- 14:45Speaker 4: That's been a growing frustration, but it's still there. And yes, everybody.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Another thing that grandma and grandpa never had.
- 14:50Speaker 5: To worry about, never had to worry about it.
- 14:53Speaker 6: No.
- 14:53Speaker 3: Uh.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Derek from Whitewater on the Nicolay Lotto, I'm talking text
- 14:57Speaker 2: on regarding the banana ball episode. If you go to
- 15:00Speaker 2: a banana ball game, expect to see banana ball, or
- 15:02Speaker 2: you can go to the eighty one other games at
- 15:05Speaker 2: American Family Field and watch a regular game.
- 15:07Speaker 4: That's a great take, Derek, great take, and you know,
- 15:11Speaker 4: Derek is a little curmudgeonally.
- 15:12Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm like I went to I went to the
- 15:14Speaker 2: Globetrotters game, and I was not impressed by the quality
- 15:17Speaker 2: of play. I don't think any of these guys could
- 15:18Speaker 2: play against Jalen Brunson and Wemby.
- 15:21Speaker 5: Well, that's not what they're doing exactly.
- 15:22Speaker 2: They're not there for and that is the best analogy
- 15:26Speaker 2: is like this is Banana Ball is the Globetrotters for
- 15:28Speaker 2: baseball exactly.
- 15:29Speaker 5: And great marketing by I forget his name now with
- 15:32Speaker 5: the guy.
- 15:32Speaker 1: That Jesse whatever.
- 15:34Speaker 2: He showed up in the mister Yellow Tucks and they
- 15:38Speaker 2: were loving that they were was this is this the
- 15:41Speaker 2: first time they played in a major league stadium?
- 15:43Speaker 1: Did I see that?
- 15:44Speaker 5: I can't.
- 15:44Speaker 4: I don't think is that right? I thought they were
- 15:46Speaker 4: at the at the sure too, I'm not sure, but
- 15:49Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Can't be.
- 15:50Speaker 2: But they've been playing football stadiums and stuff. I mean,
- 15:54Speaker 2: the music and the dancing and the whole thing. They
- 15:59Speaker 2: said it was the loudest crowd they've had in Banana
- 16:01Speaker 2: ball history.
- 16:01Speaker 5: I don't know if that's true. They probably say that
- 16:03Speaker 5: a lot.
- 16:03Speaker 4: But oh, I believe in our ability to create a
- 16:05Speaker 4: great environment here in Milwaukee.
- 16:07Speaker 5: I believe that.
- 16:07Speaker 2: And you got when you got a starting pitcher who's
- 16:09Speaker 2: from the area, that's always big too.
- 16:12Speaker 1: So it was fun.
- 16:13Speaker 5: But yeah, Jesse Cole is the guy who started it.
- 16:16Speaker 4: Oh, it's a it's a commentary in great marketing and
- 16:20Speaker 4: a success story.
- 16:21Speaker 2: Not okay, here's here's the correction. Was not the first
- 16:23Speaker 2: MLB stadium. The first MLB stadium a sellout with the
- 16:26Speaker 2: Party Animals headlining, not the Banana Yeah right, because this
- 16:29Speaker 2: was it was like Party Animals and yeah, so this
- 16:32Speaker 2: was like the Washington Generals basically playing and hanging out there.
- 16:36Speaker 4: Shingle, Well, that's impressive too that it wasn't the Bananas,
- 16:39Speaker 4: that's true, and it was you know, this whole little
- 16:42Speaker 4: league they've set up has been successful. So now congrats
- 16:45Speaker 4: to them, and I'm happy.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Kudos to the Party Animals and h Jesse for they
- 16:52Speaker 2: Jesse Cole for the the cameo of bringing Brew's favorite
- 16:57Speaker 2: Jeff Jenkins back.
- 16:58Speaker 5: That was awesome. That was so cool.
- 17:01Speaker 2: Now he struck out, but just the moment and bringing
- 17:04Speaker 2: him back for fans there was pretty cool.
- 17:07Speaker 5: Is that a kicking the balls to in for striking?
- 17:13Speaker 2: Remember how remember the home run Derby. They head last
- 17:15Speaker 2: year when guys were out of gas, like, it wasn't
- 17:18Speaker 2: what we remembered. And yeah, so that that that was not.
- 17:25Speaker 1: I don't think that rises to the level of it
- 17:26Speaker 1: kicked to the ball.
- 17:27Speaker 5: I think that's fair. I'm not going to give one
- 17:28Speaker 5: for that.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Because you know what's Jenks and he's playing golf, playing golf.
- 17:33Speaker 1: He's not going to the cage.
- 17:34Speaker 2: He's like I think that a lot of Brewers guys
- 17:37Speaker 2: did for that home run Derby. They went to the
- 17:38Speaker 2: cage and just tried to tune up. But for this,
- 17:41Speaker 2: for a one off, I'm not believing.
- 17:42Speaker 5: That he is cool. To see him back though around
- 17:45Speaker 5: and fans love that.
- 17:46Speaker 4: Maybe wonder because we had the home run Derby Drew,
- 17:49Speaker 4: should they bring back old timers games or is that
- 17:51Speaker 4: not something we need to see anymore?
- 17:53Speaker 5: Maybe not.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Again, we're game balling the Brewers in general for the
- 17:58Speaker 2: sweep of the Rockies. Brew By the way, since April
- 18:01Speaker 2: twenty sixth, are twenty seven and ten, the best record
- 18:03Speaker 2: of Major League Baseball.
- 18:04Speaker 5: Man, that's how game bottom one. It is pretty good.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know either, So U kudos to the
- 18:11Speaker 2: law firm of Clark and Crane for winning the m
- 18:13Speaker 2: FAM Championship, and kudos to everybody.
- 18:15Speaker 5: Game balls to everybody who went and had a good
- 18:17Speaker 5: time there.
- 18:18Speaker 3: The cracking rises from the depths of.
- 18:21Speaker 1: The Steve Stricker.
- 18:22Speaker 2: What a great asset that is to have that event
- 18:24Speaker 2: and the cool tournament. Very cool, absolutely very cool. We
- 18:29Speaker 2: can talk to Billy if you want for halftime. I
- 18:30Speaker 2: think he's right in the car, so we'll be I
- 18:32Speaker 2: think Billy is going to join us on his way
- 18:34Speaker 2: up to play some golf. We'll get his take, his
- 18:36Speaker 2: review of banana Ball and how he felt sitting and
- 18:39Speaker 2: keeping my chair warm on a big twelve sports Saturday,
- 18:42Speaker 2: which is awesome. We're often running, halftime is approached, Dolph
- 18:45Speaker 2: is off, but Billy is going to make an appearance,
- 18:47Speaker 2: and don't go anywhere, because at seven o'clock Hunter Bombgart
- 18:50Speaker 2: joins us for the entire last hour to talk about
- 18:52Speaker 2: these red hot brewers and all the ramifications and everybody,
- 18:56Speaker 2: you know, everybody who's pining for that, the pickups and
- 18:59Speaker 2: the moves that are going to help put them over
- 19:01Speaker 2: the top as they continue to roll along and playing
- 19:04Speaker 2: the best ball, best baseball, basically a best start in
- 19:08Speaker 2: franchise history.
- 19:09Speaker 5: Fastest to forty wins.
- 19:10Speaker 2: It's it's just a phenomenal ride. And like I haven't
- 19:14Speaker 2: even mentioned a game call to Shane Rowing, I mean.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Freaking rises from the depths of the sea.
- 19:21Speaker 2: And our permanent superhero that is Chris Hook and Jim
- 19:24Speaker 2: Henderson and the pitching guys.
- 19:25Speaker 5: You don't talk to you about him a lot, but
- 19:27Speaker 5: he's been amazing.
- 19:27Speaker 2: It's been in crowded. Shane Drown was great yesterday. So
- 19:30Speaker 2: we will talk to Billy Schmid next. You are in

- 20:31Speaker 1: Billy, welcome to the program.
- 20:33Speaker 6: Warning, boys, how are we feeling here on this beautiful
- 20:36Speaker 6: I forty one Monday?
- 20:37Speaker 2: I knew you were driving up to join Butchi's charity
- 20:40Speaker 2: outing for Children's Wisconsin, which is awesome. But I also
- 20:44Speaker 2: knew that you were up and ready because I saw
- 20:45Speaker 2: that you retweeted our tweet early this morning. So did
- 20:48Speaker 2: you get up at the normal time or did you
- 20:49Speaker 2: just sleep in a little bit?
- 20:53Speaker 6: A full hour? And incredible, you boys, is the alarm
- 20:59Speaker 6: clock is out of an hour and you know a
- 21:01Speaker 6: half before that was pretty spectacular. However, I did, I
- 21:06Speaker 6: did kind of miss Arman taking a dig at me
- 21:09Speaker 6: for eating the overnight oats or a donut in here,
- 21:11Speaker 6: but I know that will come with the seven o'clock
- 21:13Speaker 6: hour stream.
- 21:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know it's you know, Billy, when
- 21:16Speaker 4: I say dig, it's not really dig it's more like
- 21:18Speaker 4: I just like to talk about it. I just like
- 21:20Speaker 4: the comment on it, Billy. But it is good. It's
- 21:22Speaker 4: nice to be able to wake up that early and
- 21:24Speaker 4: still feel like you slept in because you feel real productive.
- 21:27Speaker 4: And now I know you feel real productive today as
- 21:29Speaker 4: you go out and get the sticks ready. How's your
- 21:30Speaker 4: golf game? Have you practiced? Are you ready to go?
- 21:33Speaker 4: Are your irons right like? Have you have you hit
- 21:36Speaker 4: the range? Are you are you there for the vibes?
- 21:38Speaker 4: Let's be honest.
- 21:39Speaker 6: I'll be honest with you, armin. I can't waste my
- 21:42Speaker 6: good swings on the range, so I only have I
- 21:45Speaker 6: only have a minimum of all I have a max
- 21:47Speaker 6: about fifteen.
- 21:48Speaker 7: Of them through out.
- 21:49Speaker 6: So scramble golf is definitely what I'm I'm best used for.
- 21:53Speaker 6: I think I've played three times in three years, so
- 21:57Speaker 6: that that doesn't bode necessarily well for the grouping that
- 22:01Speaker 6: that somehow gets stuck with with me alongside, But we'll
- 22:05Speaker 6: definitely have some good vibes. You'll have a lot of
- 22:07Speaker 6: fun nodging some rain early on here, but that's been
- 22:10Speaker 6: a tradition unlike any other. For the now thirty eighth
- 22:13Speaker 6: annual children's Children's outing up here at beautiful Beutymore Country Club.
- 22:19Speaker 6: There's always a little bit of weather, but it just
- 22:21Speaker 6: builds to the story and builds to the adversity.
- 22:23Speaker 5: Loving it.
- 22:23Speaker 2: Billy Schmid joining us on the nicolay lot dot Com
- 22:25Speaker 2: talking text on he'll be back with us tomorrow. So Billy,
- 22:27Speaker 2: I gotta on this game balls and kicks to the
- 22:29Speaker 2: balls Monday. I will give you a game ball for
- 22:32Speaker 2: taking my chair on Big twelve Sports Saturday alongside Stephanie
- 22:35Speaker 2: Sutton on Saturday Night.
- 22:38Speaker 5: How did it go?
- 22:39Speaker 1: Did you have fun?
- 22:40Speaker 7: It was?
- 22:41Speaker 6: It was phenomenal, it was. It was a great time.
- 22:43Speaker 6: I appreciated Steph having me in there.
- 22:45Speaker 7: I did.
- 22:45Speaker 6: I did get one good friendly jab at our friend
- 22:48Speaker 6: Drio Melendez that was much too much to the applause
- 22:52Speaker 6: of the room.
- 22:53Speaker 5: I'm sure I was a little.
- 22:55Speaker 6: Worried that I was gonna that I was gonna, you know,
- 22:58Speaker 6: I got Steph to catch yourself for a second, and
- 23:01Speaker 6: then I saw my end behind the camera give a
- 23:03Speaker 6: little fistbuff So it's funny.
- 23:05Speaker 7: But it was a really, really good time, dude, And
- 23:08Speaker 7: appreciate them having me. Also.
- 23:10Speaker 6: Coach Wagner of the Milwaukee Panthers baseball team was phenomenal
- 23:15Speaker 6: because you really do learn a heck of a lot
- 23:18Speaker 6: of what that team went through this year, and so
- 23:20Speaker 6: it was a very very good time. I appreciate you
- 23:23Speaker 6: allowing me to step in and it more than anything.
- 23:26Speaker 7: True.
- 23:26Speaker 6: It's nice to know that I could still fit into
- 23:29Speaker 6: my court wedding TV suit right Like, I only have
- 23:32Speaker 6: one and generally they all kind of blend together. So
- 23:35Speaker 6: I was glad that it still fit when I busted it.
- 23:37Speaker 7: Out of the bag.
- 23:38Speaker 4: Yeah, I was sorry to miss that, Billy. Obviously I
- 23:40Speaker 4: couldn't watch, but I was sorry to miss that. I
- 23:42Speaker 4: was like Bill Schmid, the suit is something you got
- 23:44Speaker 4: to see.
- 23:44Speaker 2: I had people ask if they could stream that or
- 23:46Speaker 2: see it on YouTube, and sadly, the answer is no,
- 23:49Speaker 2: because this show uses highlights from the NFL and the
- 23:52Speaker 2: NBA and MLB, and that the rights fees to clear
- 23:57Speaker 2: that and to stream it would be astronomical, So that
- 23:59Speaker 2: is not so it's like you got to see it live.
- 24:01Speaker 2: I'm not even sure if you can watch it on
- 24:02Speaker 2: the app or not, because whenever I'm doing the show,
- 24:04Speaker 2: I'm not on the app, so I can't say whether
- 24:06Speaker 2: it's live stream sure on the app, but in any event,
- 24:09Speaker 2: I'm glad Billy did that. Now, Billy, the other part
- 24:11Speaker 2: of this of your weekend, I want to know how
- 24:13Speaker 2: Banana Ball was for the Schmid family hanging out an
- 24:16Speaker 2: American family field. You guys are regular visitors when the
- 24:19Speaker 2: Brewers are playing. What was it like for this highly
- 24:21Speaker 2: anticipated Banana Ball extravaganza.
- 24:24Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you this, guys.
- 24:26Speaker 6: The park was a lot busier than it is on
- 24:28Speaker 6: a regular Tuesday. As you pulled up, it felt like
- 24:33Speaker 6: a divisional round playoff game with just how many people
- 24:36Speaker 6: were there. The sheer volume of over forty one thousand
- 24:39Speaker 6: was pretty incredible. And man, it was a great party.
- 24:43Speaker 6: They built it, as I believe they said the world
- 24:46Speaker 6: the greatest party in sports, and it was what LIV
- 24:51Speaker 6: believes it wanted to be, right, like music playing throughout
- 24:55Speaker 6: the entire game, different rules that not everybody fully understands.
- 25:00Speaker 7: However, the one little sudden.
- 25:02Speaker 6: Jolt while there's about fifteen things going on and you're
- 25:04Speaker 6: watching the guy alongside the warning track getting beach balls
- 25:09Speaker 6: into kids into the crowd, then you realize, oh, there
- 25:12Speaker 6: is a game going on, and then all of a sudden,
- 25:14Speaker 6: the party animal's mascot goes blows gas right in front
- 25:18Speaker 6: of the entire Coconuts team and they let a kid
- 25:21Speaker 6: run around the entire base. It was a great time
- 25:23Speaker 6: and it was also like the perfect day yesterday, Sonny
- 25:27Speaker 6: and seventy inside of American Family Field was hard to
- 25:31Speaker 6: beat with a little bit of overcast, so it was awesome.
- 25:34Speaker 6: The little guy got himself the world's largest frozen lemonade
- 25:38Speaker 6: and had himself the little like fourth inning sugar nap.
- 25:43Speaker 6: Most of us, once you get the twenty one, it's
- 25:45Speaker 6: the fourth inning beer nap.
- 25:46Speaker 7: His was just the minute.
- 25:47Speaker 6: Made nap, but it worked out really, really well. It
- 25:50Speaker 6: was an incredible time and it definitely matches the money
- 25:54Speaker 6: you would assume that you're bringing in for a concert
- 25:58Speaker 6: that's selling out American Family Field two nights at forty
- 26:01Speaker 6: one a piece.
- 26:02Speaker 7: That was an impressive showing.
- 26:04Speaker 5: Well, that's a thing bill even though the bananas weren't there.
- 26:06Speaker 4: It's a huge event in entertainment and it's in town,
- 26:09Speaker 4: and it's you know, game entertainment is usually something that's
- 26:12Speaker 4: tertiary to the actual game. In sports, it's part of it,
- 26:15Speaker 4: but it's not the main attraction. But it feels like
- 26:18Speaker 4: obviously with banana ball, the main attraction is the entertainment
- 26:21Speaker 4: in games, oh yeah, and then the tertiary part is
- 26:24Speaker 4: the ball playing. And basically kids love action and they
- 26:28Speaker 4: have mastered the art of having fun constantly in a
- 26:32Speaker 4: three hour period is what it seems like to me.
- 26:35Speaker 6: Yeah. And it was also as a kid going to
- 26:38Speaker 6: the Globetrotters, I just couldn't I couldn't fathom how much
- 26:41Speaker 6: stuff was going on.
- 26:42Speaker 7: They go a little bit older, he realized, Okay, it's
- 26:45Speaker 7: a little bit less than maybe you thought.
- 26:47Speaker 6: However, this one, I mean, it was NonStop action army
- 26:50Speaker 6: and you're right, you know, for for most it's probably
- 26:52Speaker 6: not a top of mind experience, but especially the admirals.
- 26:57Speaker 6: He and I went to the Golden Knights game. All
- 26:59Speaker 6: were out in Vegas. One of the reasons why I've
- 27:01Speaker 6: enjoyed them so much is because I think their their
- 27:04Speaker 6: game night entertainment is second to none, with how much
- 27:07Speaker 6: energy and excitement and thought they put into the game
- 27:12Speaker 6: around the game. Now, I don't anticipate, guys that that
- 27:16Speaker 6: my youngster is going to wonder why Blake Perkins isn't
- 27:19Speaker 6: trying to hit the ball up in the air before
- 27:21Speaker 6: he catches it to try to get a trick played.
- 27:25Speaker 5: Exactly.
- 27:25Speaker 6: I think we're going to be able to separate Church
- 27:27Speaker 6: and State and Banana ball from MLB ball.
- 27:30Speaker 7: Uh. And it was.
- 27:31Speaker 6: It was a great time and one that you do
- 27:34Speaker 6: kind of wonder though, right like this was and and
- 27:38Speaker 6: this was also one of the cool parts of the weekend.
- 27:40Speaker 6: This was the first time guys that the the Party Animals,
- 27:43Speaker 6: their version of like the Washington Generals, the first team
- 27:46Speaker 6: that played the Bananas sold out a stadium or went
- 27:50Speaker 6: to an MLB stadium without the banana and they sold.
- 27:55Speaker 7: And they sold it out back to back night.
- 27:56Speaker 5: Wow.
- 27:57Speaker 6: So you kind of wonder where the limit would be.
- 28:01Speaker 6: But right now they're just they're just scratching the surface.
- 28:04Speaker 6: It does appear like this has got a nice run.
- 28:07Speaker 6: From just the longevity standpoint going forward. It's pretty impressive.
- 28:11Speaker 4: It is impressive, and it's good to hear that you
- 28:13Speaker 4: don't have to like go home and detox Young Carson
- 28:15Speaker 4: with Tommy Manski VHS tapes over and over and over again,
- 28:19Speaker 4: and just you know, like you know, pivot drive Army.
- 28:22Speaker 6: We did we did hit we did hit ground balls
- 28:24Speaker 6: when we got home and I made sure that he
- 28:25Speaker 6: was swearing it up. I wasn't allowing us to try
- 28:27Speaker 6: to go in between the legs here before.
- 28:29Speaker 7: We're throwing it over and no.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Dancing, son, this is serious business. We're taking grounders. So
- 28:34Speaker 4: that's good to hear that he's not going to be confused. Billy,
- 28:37Speaker 4: did you anything?
- 28:38Speaker 5: Oh?
- 28:38Speaker 4: Sorry, Drew, I don't know if you had something there,
- 28:40Speaker 4: but I didn't know if really quick, did you have
- 28:43Speaker 4: any comment? You mentioned the Knights one of the most
- 28:46Speaker 4: that would have been catistraphic, but they found a way
- 28:48Speaker 4: to win. I couldn't believe when I saw they had
- 28:51Speaker 4: the four to roh. They were up, the K's were up,
- 28:54Speaker 4: the four oh deficit. They came back and coming back
- 28:57Speaker 4: from four oh devasit.
- 28:58Speaker 5: It's been a while. Stanley Cup.
- 29:01Speaker 7: Unbelievable.
- 29:02Speaker 6: The third period was not really a roller coaster.
- 29:07Speaker 7: It was mostly just a title wave.
- 29:09Speaker 6: But that was That's one of the better games that
- 29:11Speaker 6: you're ever going to see, and the Cup final is
- 29:13Speaker 6: turning into one of the better ones that you're going
- 29:15Speaker 6: to see. And you know, we we touched on it
- 29:18Speaker 6: last week with the OKC and San Antonio series.
- 29:22Speaker 7: It went seven.
- 29:23Speaker 6: Wasn't a great series.
- 29:25Speaker 7: Not really.
- 29:26Speaker 6: It was compelling and it was interesting and it had
- 29:28Speaker 6: great storylines, but not every game outside of Game one
- 29:31Speaker 6: in Game seven were great games. All three of these
- 29:34Speaker 6: games have been wild. In the Stanley Cup Final and
- 29:36Speaker 6: drew you know, the NBA Finals, which we get once
- 29:39Speaker 6: again here tonight. I mean both of those games, the
- 29:42Speaker 6: Spurs have a lead in the final two minutes in
- 29:45Speaker 6: the fourth quarter. Those are good games. So it's been
- 29:48Speaker 6: We've been treated here so far and definitely excited for
- 29:52Speaker 6: what this week's got in store.
- 29:53Speaker 2: Yeah, there's people are harkening back to the Bucks Suns,
- 29:57Speaker 2: which seems like what fifteen years ago?
- 29:58Speaker 3: Now?
- 29:58Speaker 2: That fun kidding, right, But the Bucks did lose the
- 30:02Speaker 2: first two games and then they went on to win
- 30:04Speaker 2: four straight. But they lost the first two games on
- 30:06Speaker 2: the road, not at home like this Spurs did. And
- 30:07Speaker 2: I think that's a mitigating factor. Going as we try
- 30:10Speaker 2: to you can you can mention that the Bucks came
- 30:13Speaker 2: back from two to oh, but it's a different this
- 30:16Speaker 2: is a different animal.
- 30:18Speaker 6: It's almost like a footnote, right, like, yes, teams have
- 30:21Speaker 6: come back from down two oh. I thought the other
- 30:23Speaker 6: the more striking stat I believe they put up on
- 30:28Speaker 6: on ESPN after the game with the Inside Guys was
- 30:32Speaker 6: the last, the only two times somebody has in however
- 30:35Speaker 6: many years, lost the first two games at home where
- 30:39Speaker 6: Scheck's Magic and Barkley's Sons. Like crazy to think that
- 30:45Speaker 6: all and and Kenny Smith was obviously on the Rockets
- 30:47Speaker 6: team that went up two oh on the Magic back
- 30:51Speaker 6: in the day, So like it's crazy to think that
- 30:54Speaker 6: all three of those guys were a part of those series.
- 30:56Speaker 6: This one has taken on a life of its own, man,
- 30:58Speaker 6: and I don't I'm really really glad I'm not gonna
- 31:03Speaker 6: have to watch the Four Letter Network today because I
- 31:06Speaker 6: can only assume what kind of bath that is going
- 31:09Speaker 6: to be for New York Knicks fans, because it's gonna
- 31:11Speaker 6: be a different day in New York here today that
- 31:13Speaker 6: Drew you talked about your time being there during the
- 31:16Speaker 6: Cup Final, but their party in anticipation for this game
- 31:21Speaker 6: three at Madison Square Garden or something else, sure would
- 31:24Speaker 6: be a crazy story if that twenty two year old
- 31:27Speaker 6: sensation was able to go and spice this thing up
- 31:30Speaker 6: and steal it.
- 31:31Speaker 2: You know, it's funny because of the way this is hitting.
- 31:34Speaker 2: And I guess you can if you're of a certain vintage.
- 31:37Speaker 2: And you remember when the Badger started, you know, winning
- 31:40Speaker 2: Rose Bowls and the Packers and Armin your childhood, right, sure,
- 31:45Speaker 2: the fire Packers winning Super Bowl. It had been so
- 31:48Speaker 2: long for the Knicks, like for in that market to
- 31:51Speaker 2: not have won since nineteen seventy three. This is hitting
- 31:55Speaker 2: like everybody, but especially the olds, yeah, like the Boomers
- 31:59Speaker 2: and stuff who remember Clyde Fraser and Bill Bradley and
- 32:02Speaker 2: Dave de Busher and that those teams and Willis Reid and.
- 32:05Speaker 5: They were in their prime during like the the Ewing years.
- 32:08Speaker 2: They never quite got yeah, and they never got over
- 32:10Speaker 2: the hump. And so those people are enjoying this as
- 32:12Speaker 2: much as the young'uns. And it's just a it's a
- 32:15Speaker 2: generational thing that's bonding New York and man, when something
- 32:18Speaker 2: gets heat in New York and grabs the city like that,
- 32:20Speaker 2: it's just a it's a spectacle. And the Knicks are
- 32:23Speaker 2: something that you know, there's no there might be some
- 32:26Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets fans, but come on, the Knicks are the team,
- 32:28Speaker 2: right absolutely.
- 32:29Speaker 7: Yeah, there's twenty seven of them, yeah.
- 32:31Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, And obviously you know Trump's gonna be there,
- 32:34Speaker 4: So there's a spectacle involved with Oh's.
- 32:36Speaker 2: And that's that's pissing people off because they got to
- 32:39Speaker 2: get there early and there's no watch party outside party.
- 32:41Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know what, I still think deep down
- 32:44Speaker 4: that there's gonna be Wenby's gonna have his voice said
- 32:47Speaker 4: in this series a little bit more.
- 32:48Speaker 5: I don't think it's gonna be not this.
- 32:50Speaker 4: Magic carpet ride easy, you know, coasting home now to
- 32:53Speaker 4: the finals that we expect sort of because they will
- 32:56Speaker 4: won the first two at home. Something tells me deep
- 32:58Speaker 4: down that this this series going to change a little
- 33:00Speaker 4: bit in nature at some point and it'll be more
- 33:03Speaker 4: of a dogfight.
- 33:04Speaker 5: But if it's gonna happen, it probably has to be tonight.
- 33:06Speaker 6: Right.
- 33:07Speaker 5: You go down three out of there and that's it, right, Billy,
- 33:09Speaker 5: I mean, that's.
- 33:10Speaker 6: Just oh yeah, it'll be curtain's arm. And if if
- 33:13Speaker 6: this is if they if they lose tonight, it's over.
- 33:15Speaker 7: Now.
- 33:15Speaker 6: Maybe they get one and bring it back San Antonio.
- 33:18Speaker 6: But nobody's been slowing down what New York's got, and frankly,
- 33:22Speaker 6: nobody has played Wemby the way that Kat has, and
- 33:26Speaker 6: I think it's one of the most impressive things about
- 33:28Speaker 6: the series. Right now.
- 33:29Speaker 7: He went MVP.
- 33:30Speaker 6: He was forty to one at the Pottawatami Sportsbook. Before
- 33:34Speaker 6: the series started, nobody thought at all anybody other than
- 33:39Speaker 6: a Brunson or when min Yama and Brunson shooting like
- 33:44Speaker 6: thirty two percent in the series. So it's pretty crazy
- 33:47Speaker 6: to think that the Knicks are up to oh with
- 33:50Speaker 6: Brunson shooting the way he has it just I mean,
- 33:52Speaker 6: it speaks to when you're gonna win a title. A
- 33:55Speaker 6: lot of times, the second guy in the mix is
- 33:59Speaker 6: generally going to have one or two games where he's
- 34:01Speaker 6: the leading role. We saw that with Middletons. You talk
- 34:04Speaker 6: about it, talk about a number of games during those
- 34:07Speaker 6: series where he was the guy being able to pull
- 34:09Speaker 6: you over the hump, even though the fifty piece in
- 34:12Speaker 6: Game six from you honest wasn't like he was a
- 34:13Speaker 6: slouch averaging like thirty eight. They needed somebody, and Kat
- 34:18Speaker 6: right now has been the whole reason why the Knicks
- 34:20Speaker 6: are up to Oh.
- 34:20Speaker 4: That's a great point, Billy, So I think that that's
- 34:23Speaker 4: something to watch for as we go forward here, Billy, So.
- 34:27Speaker 6: How many people made it to the museum Army.
- 34:28Speaker 4: Yeah, Billy, I had to mention really quick to you
- 34:31Speaker 4: there was actually a few that were into the whole
- 34:33Speaker 4: Botanical Gardens Museum thing.
- 34:35Speaker 5: I think there was a group of five.
- 34:37Speaker 4: And I'm not kidding you when I tell you this,
- 34:39Speaker 4: all right, one of the dudes is an accomplished birder
- 34:42Speaker 4: that runs a bird photography website.
- 34:44Speaker 5: So you can only imagine my head was spinning in
- 34:46Speaker 5: that moment.
- 34:47Speaker 7: So have it?
- 34:49Speaker 4: I thought so too, But I mean, this guy was
- 34:51Speaker 4: into it. He let me tell you something, I'm a
- 34:54Speaker 4: little league when it comes to this.
- 34:56Speaker 7: He was right.
- 34:56Speaker 5: Who was that spotting identifying bird species by their sound?
- 35:00Speaker 5: It was next level dude.
- 35:01Speaker 6: But wow, you were out for a run with your
- 35:04Speaker 6: dog and he was doing the idea.
- 35:06Speaker 5: That that's what I'm saying, that's exactly wow.
- 35:08Speaker 3: Wow.
- 35:09Speaker 4: And I want to tell you I told this that Drew.
- 35:11Speaker 4: You'll be You'll be happy to know that it's still alive.
- 35:14Speaker 4: Well and good that when dudes get together, it's only
- 35:16Speaker 4: a matter of time before Lebron Jordan arguving sparks up
- 35:19Speaker 4: and right away within the first couple of hours that
- 35:21Speaker 4: these guys were getting into it.
- 35:22Speaker 5: So when when when.
- 35:23Speaker 4: Bush comes to shove Lebron Jordan debate is always the
- 35:27Speaker 4: one that will sustain us as a male species.
- 35:29Speaker 6: Forever you get into it, you get into an awkward silence.
- 35:33Speaker 6: Sure you bust that out and it'll work. Sorry, And
- 35:35Speaker 6: they didn't have an idea of what they walked into, and.
- 35:38Speaker 4: Like I said, I just let them go laid back,
- 35:41Speaker 4: and then he waited in like trying.
- 35:45Speaker 5: I just tried to cull it. It did the four our show.
- 35:47Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. I love it.

- 37:38Speaker 2: in touch with the best.
- 37:39Speaker 1: Who's hot, who's not. We could just do it one
- 37:41Speaker 1: person and say Jackson Curio.
- 37:43Speaker 5: Jackson Curio. Drew has been outstanding as well.
- 37:46Speaker 2: He was zero for ten in the series going into yesterday. Anyway,
- 37:51Speaker 2: he had three hits he had he decided to go
- 37:54Speaker 2: on the ambush and he told everybody he was going
- 37:57Speaker 2: to swing at the first thing he first pitch he saw,
- 37:58Speaker 2: and he got three hits, all on the for a.
- 38:00Speaker 5: Bunch of extra base hits, which is great to see.
- 38:02Speaker 2: And the Brewers, by the way, I don't know if
- 38:04Speaker 2: people pay attention to stuff like this, but one of
- 38:05Speaker 2: the reasons they are as successful as they are is
- 38:08Speaker 2: they don't swing it the first pitch very often.
- 38:09Speaker 5: Yeah, it's unusual for them.
- 38:11Speaker 2: But when they do, it's almost like a coordinated thing,
- 38:13Speaker 2: like we're all gonna swing in the first pitch for
- 38:14Speaker 2: a little bit and then they generally take the first
- 38:17Speaker 2: pitch because that lowest pitchers into complacency.
- 38:18Speaker 1: You might get a meatball.
- 38:20Speaker 2: Uh, there's a there's always that school of thought, especially
- 38:24Speaker 2: like late in games or when guys are on bas
- 38:27Speaker 2: he situations. If you swing the first pitch and pop up,
- 38:30Speaker 2: people think you're an idiot. If you square it up
- 38:32Speaker 2: and knock one off the wall, no one says anything
- 38:34Speaker 2: right exactly, but it's all the cat and mouse. It's
- 38:37Speaker 2: the game within the game of the bats. And you know,
- 38:39Speaker 2: Chiott Paul malder it was one of the great first
- 38:42Speaker 2: ball hitters of his career, like first pitch.
- 38:44Speaker 4: Boom, you know, based so good, just seaball hit ball
- 38:46Speaker 4: and sometimes it's that simple day.
- 38:50Speaker 5: So Churio was awesome. Churio was cool.
- 38:52Speaker 2: He's generally been hot, but he was oh for Friday, Saturday,
- 38:55Speaker 2: and then got a couple of hits.
- 38:56Speaker 5: Yesterday Broke got a big way.
- 38:58Speaker 4: Also, Bryce terranging a big weekend, big week hot for him. Obviously,
- 39:01Speaker 4: Powers hit his first homer in a while, which was
- 39:04Speaker 4: a big one.
- 39:05Speaker 5: Sanchez, right, yep, Sanchez, What did I say?
- 39:07Speaker 1: Bowers?
- 39:08Speaker 5: Sanchez, Sorry about that event, Sanchez, not Bowers.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Hey, that's right, you're still in South peace.
- 39:12Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
- 39:13Speaker 4: Who's not I saw Josh Hayter sideline tendis not a
- 39:17Speaker 4: very good thing. Also, who's not Alex Bregman taking the
- 39:20Speaker 4: blame for the Cubs? Well, man, I don't know if
- 39:23Speaker 4: you saw that. He's I've been terrible, play better offensively.
- 39:25Speaker 5: I've been awful.
- 39:26Speaker 4: I've failed many times. I've struggled. I started slot before
- 39:29Speaker 4: I started fast. When you're struggling is like one way
- 39:31Speaker 4: fording that straight head on.
- 39:33Speaker 5: That's the guy.
- 39:33Speaker 4: They expected a lot more out of Drew when they
- 39:35Speaker 4: signed him, obviously, and he's been struggling. He's taking the
- 39:37Speaker 4: blame right now, So.
- 39:39Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Well, who's not the Padres.
- 39:44Speaker 2: Remember it wasn't that long ago they were neck and
- 39:46Speaker 2: neck with the Dodgers, and it's like, oh, look how
- 39:48Speaker 2: good they are. They've lost eleven of thirteen and it's
- 39:52Speaker 2: started to make people question, you know, whether they're legit
- 39:55Speaker 2: or not. And as they're they slide into the abysmal.
- 39:58Speaker 2: They are two games over five hundreds, because they're a
- 40:00Speaker 2: good enough team, but they've lost eleven to thirteen. And
- 40:04Speaker 2: you know, Manny Machado, he always pined for those superstars,
- 40:07Speaker 2: but then you got to ride it when they're not
- 40:09Speaker 2: going well, like a Bregman, right, who wouldn't want who?
- 40:12Speaker 2: Who would not have wanted Bregman? But the Padres lost
- 40:15Speaker 2: to the Mets, who are also not hot. And the
- 40:18Speaker 2: Mets have struggled on offense, but they made the Padres,
- 40:21Speaker 2: you know, the Padres made the Mets look like the
- 40:23Speaker 2: twenty seven Braves. Manny Machado, who wouldn't have wanted him?
- 40:26Speaker 2: He's batting one sixty nine. We're halfway through the season.
- 40:29Speaker 2: He's betting one sixty nine and his ops is below
- 40:32Speaker 2: six hundred. Not great, not great, not great. So you
- 40:37Speaker 2: need your stars to show up. So that's an interesting development.
- 40:40Speaker 2: So that's who's hot who's not? Brought to us by
- 40:41Speaker 2: Donovan Jorgensen. When we come back, Hunter Bombgart's going to
- 40:45Speaker 2: join the party, and it will be a party. You're
- 40:48Speaker 2: listening to the Huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin
