  Speaker 1: Dominating a Tuesday in the good land, Drew, Billy, and
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Armin bringing it to you from Huddle headquarters. You can
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: reach us, 877-794-1973, nicolaylaw.com, talk and text line. Check in
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: if you're a proud member of the 7 o'clock club.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: You know, 5 o'clock clubbers get the first dibs. They
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: get the fresh powder. And all the glory, let's be honest.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: All the glory.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: 6 o'clock clubbers just kind of slide in. And now
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: 7 o'clockers, welcome in. This is, I think, when most
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: normal people get up.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, this is when the water's warm.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: This is when it's nice and ready to go. We
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: had a couple of different listeners to us, met up
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: with us. Audrey and her husband stopped by and said
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: that they loved listening to us. Man had a 1070
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: shirt on as well, listening to us in the Madison area.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: How do you guys wake up so early? Like, well,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: you know what? Because we know that you guys are listening,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: wanting some conversation. We know you'll be there.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Grin and Barrett, get on in here and, you know,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: leave our loved ones at home while potentially disaster is striking.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And luckily, it was a beautiful escape for me this morning. Yeah,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: that's the thing. Some days it works out, right? It
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: worked out this morning, that's for sure. Some days it's
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: not as easy as others. You know, people say, how
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: do you get up? But you know what?
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: Then we're also done earlier. So you have to look
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: at life with a glass half full.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: A little bit. But we know you'll be there. We
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: know you guys out there will be there. That means
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: we got to be here. And that means we want
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: to be here. If our blue collar club like Ryan
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Moschigo is working, we're working.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. Those guys, the farmers. How do the farmers get?
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: The cows are getting up. The farmers have to get up.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: They get up. You have to. You just do it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: People are equally fascinated with what do you do when
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you're done for the day at like 9 in I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: don't know, but it flies by.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair. That is really, really true. All of
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: a sudden you blink and it's five o'clock at night.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It just goes fast. Phil on the talking text line.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the heads up on the yellow jackets. Good
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: looking out by herself.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Thank you. The fall season. Yes, you're welcome.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Many don't like it because it's a precursor to winter.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: For me, it's football hoodies and killer sunsets.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I love it. Okay.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: I'm selling, and I've been very clear about this for years,
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: that I know some people like fall, and that's cool.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I like summer, and I get sad when fall comes.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get Shanna in here to talk about,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you know, Oh, chunky sweaters and pumpkin spice latte.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I was just going to say PSL season, baby.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Scarves. Yeah, scarves and things like that. I don't worry
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: about the fashion.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I'm with you, Armin. I will rage, rage against the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: dying of the light. I will hold on to summer
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: as long as I can. But fortunately, we have nice
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: weather into September and sometimes the first week or two.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, honestly, the fall weather is
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: a lot better than whatever spring weather Armin tries to always.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Say.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: That's where I genuinely think that we dominate the argument
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: here because springtime Spring kind of stinks.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Fall is the summer encore. Spring is not even the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: opening act.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Spring is not even the 12 o'clock acts at Summerfest.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: April can be a bummer. May can be a bummer.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: May is the same thing. Now I'm going to defend May.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: June can be bad. June is not bad. June a
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: lot of times is not all that warm. This year, June,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: it was still cold at Summerfest the first week in
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the middle of June.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Yes, if you live on the lake, June is cold.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: But for most of us, June is pleasant and wonderful.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And it means summertime. Not guaranteed. Well, nothing is guaranteed
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: in life. Nothing's guaranteed.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: But if you're going to tell me that June temp
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: is a higher average temp than September.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I would disagree.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: September's usually a very nice month because people think it's fall.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: It's actually still summer.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Give me September over June usually.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: And I'm not going to fight you on September. I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: like September. I'm not.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: But I will say I think May is underrated. I
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: think March is winter around here. It's the worst month
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: of the year, probably besides February, obviously. And I would
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: say like April usually is a bummer also, you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: because you're waiting to get the nice weather and it's
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: not coming. But usually May it's starting to turn and
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: we're pretty happy about it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So here's a question for you. As I'm thinking about,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you know, bigger issues, the economy back to school. Halloween stuff.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Do kids go back to school shopping and get new
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: shoes and new pants and new hoodies and stuff if
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: they're homeschooled?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: That's a great question. This is the stuff you think
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: about when you wake up. Does homeschooling, does that depress
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the economy? Because they're not going out to stores and
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: buying stuff. Do they need the new kicks? Probably not.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Do they need the latest fashion? And that's one of
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the reasons.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: We're talking about who signed the fattest contract and who
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: am I trying to measure up to at school.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Trash talking.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I just got to sit here and learn. No, I
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: don't think you do. I don't think you go back
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: to school shopping. You're wearing the same thing you wore
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: at the last day last year. is it even a
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: summer vacation are you getting are you taking a shower
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: and getting dressed like going downstairs for school or are
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: you just chilling out in the.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Pjs most of the day yeah are you allowed to
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: wear sweatpants now then again aren't kids wearing that to
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: school anyway these days i wore sweatpants every day at
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: school yeah i don't remember what i did but i
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: don't think i wore a sweat maybe maybe some days
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: that's a great question though i never really got like
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: quote unquote back to school shoes our thing i would
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: get them when i wore when my shoes wore out
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: it was what we want to pay less it was
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: what it was.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: In our thing it was uh Grade school and junior high,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you just would never even think about wearing shorts at school.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: It was always pants. We were all like rock stars.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: You know, just pants every day. Because that was cool.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Because that was cool. Pants was cool. Shorts were not.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Now it's completely flipped. And then when I was in school,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: it was like, just how long can you wear shorts?
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Just how long can you wear shorts? Shorts and flip
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: flops and snow. And let's see how far.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: You can go. Let's see how long you can roll
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: with shorts and flops on. And I mean, sweatpants were
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: like the school uniform when I was in high school.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I remember my mom being like, don't you want to
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: look a little nicer?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I'm like.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: No, I want to look comfortable how everybody else is doing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: And that was definitely it. So, I mean, like, tracksuit
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: sweatsuits was definitely the main attraction, main look.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: You are wearing what's cool. There's no doubt.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: And what that means for every generation is different or
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: what you think looks cool.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: But I wasn't cool because, I mean, I definitely was
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: still rocking cargo shorts because, you know, as the fat kid,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: you had to put your snacks somewhere.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: And so, you know, my era, cargo shorts were awesome.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: You know, if you had your Abercrombie American Eagle cargo shorts...
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: And you had your American Eagle boots, the brown boots
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: with your Gap Carpenter jeans.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: I had my Gap Carpenter jeans rocking those every day.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's just the way it was. But now
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: it's like you got to wear the baggiest. Everyone wears
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: these baggy jeans now and these baggy pants. And like
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: you said, Billy's sweatpants and things like that. So, hey,
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: the times change. Trends change. Everything's cyclical. But, yeah, back
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: to this. That's a great point, Drew. I never thought
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: about that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, is that a thing? That's a buy or sell.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Diamond day.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: From what I understand, homeschool kids have social activities that
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: they do, and they have sports teams that they could
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: still do and go back to school shopping for. There
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: are plenty of teams and schools that, like, if you
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: are in the area and you are homeschooled, that you
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: can play sports for that, you know, like, district, if
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: you would. There are other certain clubs and certain teams
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: that have groups of that. I also do know that
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: there are certain, like, Now, maybe this is just extremely
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: affluent areas, Drew, where like little neighborhoods will squat up
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: and like one mom teaches science and one mom teaches
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: social studies. And there'll be like five or six little,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: you know, families that go through here.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Almost sounds like a school.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Almost sounds like a school.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: It's like a hybrid type deal. Almost.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: It's like Billy. It's cable. It's streaming.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, it sounds like the difference
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: of that. Maybe we just put them all together in
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: one building.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: And a bunch of teachers. It would work out. It
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: would be a fascinating idea. Genius idea.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Maybe my favorite text that we've ever gotten. Derek and Madison.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: My daughter had a sleepover this weekend for her 10th birthday.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Congratulations, Derek. And your daughter, by the way. An Armenian
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: girl attended. She was a really smart cookie. Super nice.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Not all Armenians are bad. You know what I'm saying?
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? There's some of us that
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: are good ones out there. Olive skin makes a good kid. Yeah,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: she's probably. Shout out to that young lady for showing out. Oh,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: come on. I know her. Come on. Armin Sarian's a
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: great young lad. What are we talking about? Why was
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: he even judging based on that? Who would you doubt? No,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: he's just being funny. I get it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It's funny.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Hey, listen, that's fine. Hey, and I bet they're eating
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: good at home, too. Probably have pita bread and stuff
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Okay. I think even better question would be is baklava.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: What?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: What season does she like more? Ask if she's more
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: of a fall or a spring person. Yeah, that's a
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: good question.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Hey, time for a little Who's Hot Who's Not brought
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to us by our friends at Donovan Jorgensen Heating and Cooling.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson, is he hot or not? Well, he's hot.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: He's going to be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Not hot. Maybe every bit of reaction to it. He's
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: also hot because..
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: His fate at Huntington Bank will hinge on how he
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: does in the first two games on the road.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: That's fair, yes. It's a little ramp up.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: If they were opening at home in the first series
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: as a three and out, then he throws a pick.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Good luck. Good luck recovering from that. And Shadur would be,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: you know, waiting in the wings. But I think he's
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: got a ramp up now. He's got a chance.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: He's got a road and try to win the locker
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: room and try to. I don't know if he's won
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the locker room. I don't know what the players think.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Players want to win and they want the guy who
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: gives them the best chance. it's not really clear who
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: that is. Won't you know though, how the locker room
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: reacts coming up here pretty soon. Cause what is the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: starting quarterback? Usually a captain captain.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Like, I mean, so if he's voted a captain, you
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: would then assume that like the rest of the locker
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: is behind him or they just felt like you had
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: to write.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Like, or that's the thing is like, there's a sense
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: of obligation.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I guess we're going to put the Sean in here.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Now it'd be hilarious. All of a sudden should do
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: or ended up being the captain.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: How about, how about we, we balance things out and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: we say who's hot Cal Raleigh.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Cause last week he was on the who's not list.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Three bombs last night. You got them last night.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Three homers against the Phillies as they ended a nine
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: game winning streak by the Phillies.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: And sadly, Michael can Fordo also finds himself in the
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: hot category. He's Homer and back-to-back games. The Cubs win
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: seven zip yesterday. Rangers who come into American family field
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: this weekend. Uh, They are hot. They're rolling right now
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: as they've won for their last five. They beat the
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: White Sox beat up the White Sox last night. 11
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: to with Kumar rock around the mound five and 10 record,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: but they got 11 runs on 14 hits. Rangers were
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: on the teams that didn't trade anybody at the deadline drew.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: They wanted to trade their starters wanted to trade the
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: guys with big money. They're like, no, I'm in a
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: state with no income tax, and I'm getting paid millions
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: upon millions of dollars. $ 35 million, to be correct. If
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I'm Jacob DeGrom, no, I'm not moving. And now they're
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: right there in the midst, and now they're in the
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: lead in the AL West by a half game. Also
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: not hot. The poor Pittsburgh Pirates. I mean, like now
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: they end up winning last night to somehow come from
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: behind victory in the 12th inning after it looked like
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: they blew another great start by Braxton Ashcraft, who was
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: phenomenal again yesterday, six innings. No, our one run and
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: it was earned. It was a tough luck run that
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: ultimately crossed after a video replay, but. Seemingly blew it
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: in the eighth inning, came back to win it in
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the 12th. But the Pirates have slid all the way
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: back to the Dinosaur. They are eight and a half
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: games out in the wild card.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Who's hot? Who's not?
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: With Donovan Jorgensen heating and cooling, you're going to be
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: hot when you call Donovan Jorgensen because you're going to
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: get a great deal on your heating and cooling system,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: and it's going to be done by the largest employee-owned company.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: HVAC company in the state of Wisconsin, which is going
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: to be even better because you're going to talk to
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: the owner. That's going to come out and help you.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: And they're going to have a vested interest in doing
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: it correctly. Donovan Jorgensen.com.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, you missed one. You didn't mention. Weren't you watching
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the dream and the sparks last night?
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: No, I wasn't watching the Dream of the Sparks because
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: I was so sick and tired of the rhetoric that's.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Going around about my amazing W. No, I want to say, though.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: No one's watching the Wings. Paige Beckers is dominating right now.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Angel Reese. I mean, now she was only 4 for 14,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: but she pulled down 26 boards. No, no, no. How
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: many of those were her own putbacks? 18 were defensive. Okay.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: She pulled down and she set records last night.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: 26 rebounds. In all honesty. She's getting a lot of rebounds.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: That's her best skill. She's a great rebounder. So 26 rebounds.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: That prop was hot then yesterday. And it's already, they
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: pushed that number up. Because I know for a while
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: people were making up on that. Oh my goodness. Sorry,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: were you watching the Dream and the Sparks last night?
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I didn't watch the game. I just saw the box
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: today and I saw she set records.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Not a lot of people talking about what's going to
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: happen with the Sparks. Because Mark Walter owns the Sparks,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: a part of his Lakers deal.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: They're collateral damage. I'm thinking, are they supposed to make
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the playoffs?
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Well, no, they're tanking for the number one pick because
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: the idea is they want to get the number one
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: pick and then Juju Watkins will come out from USC
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: and then they'll go off from that way. But they
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: were not included in the sale to Kushner and Iger
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: of the Lakers. And Jeannie Buss and the Buss family,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: they have their whole thing going on.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Mark Walter's like, hey, guys, I need the money.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: You guys figure your family deal out, and then let's
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: get this check hitting my bank account because I kind
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: of need the five bill. That's a fascinating one out
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: there in LA. I love watching the drama of the
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: business side of sports, Drew.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: You love that. But now that we get real life succession,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I didn't watch the show.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Now I'm going to because we're basically seeing it play
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: out with the Lakers.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: It pretty much is. Hilarious stuff. I watched the first
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: couple episodes, and I haven't It sounded like it gets
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: hotter into season two from what I heard. It totally does, yeah.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: You've got to stay with it. I've got to pick
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: it back up because I did like what I saw.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Not all shows can just hit you right in the
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: face like Sopranos did.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: It took a while, and The Wire was a slow
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: burn for a while, too.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right around what? Episode seven or eight is when
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: it really starts picking up.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Damn, that is a good show, though.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Out of the HBO shows that I do wish you
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: could bring back of the appointment viewing... The wire and
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Sopranos were probably their top match.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Wasn't it?
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Like that was the hottest they had been at that moment.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: And entourage. And entourage. Yes, that's true. It had its moment,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: but yeah, those were great.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Those were ones that you just waited for Sunday night
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to get the, Get your fix.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: And now there's just never going to be that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, are people really jonesing for Love is Blind
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: new releases coming out?
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Some are. That's a popular show, Billy. That's like they're
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the only one, though. It's like random reality shows. It's
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: nothing good cinematic drama like that. I'm with you.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: I'm with you.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: You're right. This game has changed.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Most importantly, I'm thinking this because I went down a
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: rabbit hole of watching, like, 48 minutes of uh tony
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: soprano videos yesterday.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I do the same thing oh my god when i
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: can't not watch it i was like i just don't
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: well the.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Other reality tv now is just the lindsey the clancy
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: trial everyone people are watching every day yeah that's true
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: i mean i mean people are waking up like it's
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: a job to watch this thing like i saw a
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: clip yesterday.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: All right so boring again now to pivot buying and
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: selling buying or selling dan orlovsky saying that Jordan Love
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: is an MVP. If you're going to have someone on
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: your jock, it'd be good to have someone on ESPN
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: on your jock.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's fair.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: But Dan Orlovsky has been a Jordan Love fan for
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a while, and now he's proclaiming that he's undervalued and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: could be an MVP.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: I just thought I was surprised because I thought people
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: were upset earlier this summer that he ranked.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Him low in a bunch of quarterback attributes. So I
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: don't know what to make of it. Dan walks into
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the lion's den every day. Yeah, he does. I mean,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: let's be honest.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: He flirts with fire every single day when he walks
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: onto that set. I think, Drew, it's not out of
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: the realm of possibility. Like, you look at the Pottawatomie
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: right now, at the Pottawatomie Sportsbook, the odds on favorites
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: to win the MVP, the first six are all AFC quarterbacks.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: which is a surprising number when you think of Mahomes,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Drake May, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, a lot of the
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: usual suspects. Then it's Dak Prescott, who has put up
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: amazing numbers through his entire career, and he's not there.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Jordan Love all the way down at 20-1 with Trevor
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Lawrence and Jaden Daniels and Brock Purdy.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: So if they're looking for value on that, you win
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: this division.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: The last couple of years, you've been one of the
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: top two seeds.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: You're going to have some smoke around your name. I
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: don't want to misquote Orlovsky.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: What he said was that In terms of throwing the ball,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Love is up there with Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Lamar.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They've all won MVPs. So he's putting him in
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: the class of guys who have won MVPs. Comparing him
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: to two different MVPs. Okay, I get that. Yeah, so it's.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Like he didn't say, oh, this guy's going to win
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the MVP. But he was saying he's in that class
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: of guys.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Well, and I also think, Drew, he's in that mix
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: of guys that could pop up and be in the mix.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Was that, did anybody think it was going to be
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Drake main runner up last week?
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: 12 games. They'll be in the mix, right?
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: You win 12 or 13 games. You win this division.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: You're going to be in the mix. And I think
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: the biggest part is they're going to have four focal
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: points in the past game that you're going to hammer
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: the football too.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: And last year there were so many cooks in the kitchen.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: There were so many miles to feed that I think in,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: you know, whether it was consciously or subconsciously, you're starting
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: to think a lot more about that.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I got to, I got to keep Dontavion Wicks happy.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: I got him. Feed the ball over here to Romeo Dobbs. Wait,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: I got to remember Christian Watson came back. I got
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: to get him the ball.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Tucker Craft's too good. How does he only have three touches?
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I think that's going to eliminate and they're going to
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: ride the right arm of him a lot more than
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: they did.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: A year ago.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: That said, how many Packers receivers? How many for Tucker
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Craft and the receivers, the main guys? How many 100-yard
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: receiving games will they have? Cause that's a tough number.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: That is a tough number for anybody. But when you're
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: not Devante getting the ball 15 times a game and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: they're spreading it around, but that is kind of like
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: those things help quarterbacks, right?
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Big time.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: They, you know, reflectively it's, it's shouldn't matter if a
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: quarterback passes for 300 yards, but it seems like they
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: get more burn.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: When one guy gets 100. When one guy gets 100
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: and there's one layup throw to you to go every
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: single time.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: I think it's more likely because they're going to also
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: look for deep balls a lot. I mean, they look
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: for explosive plays. The Packers love doing that. If it's
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: Watson or Jaden Reed, hopefully other guys as well. They're
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: going to get some big ones.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, I mean, can you have an MVP year
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: if no one catches 100 yards in a game? I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: guess you could in theory, but it does seem like
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: it juices it, and it's like being a good offensive
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: player helps your gold glove case.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: It shouldn't matter, but it will.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: But it kind of does, right? Like, I mean, you
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: mentioned it with Mahomes. Well, Kelsey was getting all of them, right?
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: And Tyreek Hill was getting all of them. Obviously, last year,
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Stafford had two guys that were in that conversation with
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Nakua and Taye. My first initial instinct is they have
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: three 100-yard games.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: One for Golden for sure, because there's going to be
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: a game where he gets eight catches for a buck
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: and 08 or something.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: And he turns an out into a 70-yard run. Yeah. Okay.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: But the weird one is, again, just my initial instinct
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: is I was wondering how many can Tucker Craft have?
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Which is probably not who I was anticipating being the
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: 100-yard receiver.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: He very well could be. And you think Watson, for sure,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: because of the deep balls. That's what I think. Yeah.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: He'll get a couple, at least. But they're going to
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: spread it around so much. It ends up being layups, though.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: And the biggest layup on this offense is going to
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: be 85. When break glass in case of emergency, I
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: think it's going to be Tucker Kraft. Because when they
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: were rolling their best offensively last year, that's exactly what
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: it was.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Our current electric superhero of the day is going to
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: join us next. Hunter Baumgart, because he gave us a
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: report on a day off for the Brewers with interesting
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: injury updates.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: And ramifications. Callcurrent.com.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: The superheroes are on the side of the van and inside.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: The techs there do such a good job. Callcurrent.com for
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: all your electrical needs.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Now is the time to assess.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe think about how we should have done the outdoor
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: lighting this year.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: We should have done more. You start thinking about it
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: for next year, though. Christmas lighting, perhaps.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: You start thinking about that whole house generator because we're
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: going to have an El Nino year with bad weather
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: all the time. Oh, son of a gun. Just call
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the experts, callcurrent.com. And Hunter's our superhero. He's going to
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: join us next to talk a little Brewers. You're in
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. We are huddled up
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: on a Tuesday in the good land. Drew Olson, Bill Schmidt,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Armin Sarian bringing it to you from headquarters.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: We mentioned.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Our current electric superhero of the day is Hunter Baumgart
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: because he gave us a report that we listened to
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: in the 5 a.m.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Hour, 5 o'clock clubbers. Rejoiced. And now Hunter joins us
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: live to talk brewers. Hello, Hunter. Hello.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: I'm honored.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you, guys.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, you're our current electric superhero because you gave
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: us a report when we weren't expecting it.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: It's all content, baby.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: Hey, hey.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Hey, absolutely.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: And I wanted to give you a little preview of
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: this series against the Mets.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Well, we didn't even make you wear a cape. And
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: your updates, though, on the injuries were interesting. But I
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: also heard and I'm expecting Sal Freelick to come back.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: So is that transaction? They've been playing with three and
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: a half outfielders, if you count Yelich. But they've been
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: playing with basically three outfielders. And then Bowers, of course.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Do you then is it too simple to think that
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Johnny Rockets will be heading to Nashville and that Freelick
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: will be activated this week?
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: That would be my guess. I was expecting Lockridge to
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: go for Freelick. And then when Pratt came back, Johnny
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: Rockets or Nellis to leave then because I thought infielder
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: for an infielder, outfielder for an outfielder. But that's not
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: quite been the case. So they yeah, because of Bowers
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: is versatility. They've been able to make it work with,
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: like you said, three and a half, four outfielders. And
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: so once Al Freelick comes back. Yeah, I think that
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: will be the move. I would be absolutely shocked if
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: Lara goes down. I think he's he's here to stay
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: and they're just going to play the matchups, play what
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: they think is going to be best. I think they'll
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: both get playing time for you. Look at Lara down
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: the stretch. What does this also mean for Vaughn's playing time? Because,
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: of course, if Bowers is in the outfield, you can
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: have Vaughn at first base. It's all good problems to have.
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: And when you go down the stretch, you want your
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: 26 best or 28 once we get to september you
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: want your best guys on that roster and there's no
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: doubt that luis lara uh is one of your best
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: guys right.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Now and they only really have to figure it out
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: for what another six days or so with the roster
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: expanding to the extra one guy on on the pitching
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: staff and the and the position players like you mentioned
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: do you think that it's uh a lockridge then at
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: that point because you think the versatility is stealing a
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: bag i think luis lara can steal about as good
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: as anybody with that kind of a speed, you start
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: wondering because you mentioned it with Vaughn, you got to
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: try to keep his bat in the lineup as much
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: as possible, but there's only so many configurations. Is there
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: anything different or maybe potentially some more Andrew Vaughn at
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: third base in our future coming up here in the
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: stretch run?
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: Maybe I think, you know, now that you have your
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: full compliment of Ortiz, Hamilton and Pratt all healthy on
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: the left side of the infield, it doesn't give you
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: that need to put Vaughn over there unless you want
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: to get his bat in the lineup. Maybe you give
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: Yelich a few more days off down the stretch.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's just conjecture. I don't necessarily know. I
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: think they're going to want to get him hot if possible,
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: and probably the only way to do that is probably
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: to play him. He's been a little better as of late,
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: but still not... Contreras has definitely turned it around, but
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: Yelich has not. So who do you kind of take
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: out of the lineup? If you put Vaughn at third base,
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: then you're losing some things defensively. He's not been horrible,
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: but he's definitely... a step back from a Hamilton who
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: made a double play from third base in the little
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: league classic the other night, or obviously joy or tease
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: over there. So I think you're going to want to
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: put your sound defense out there. So I do think
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: that 27th man or 28th man, you'll get a pitcher,
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: but then you'll also get a position player. I would
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: think that'll be Lockridge. I don't really see anyone else
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: because you have already your infield. pretty much set. You
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: have a utility guy. If you play Ortiz and Pratt,
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: you have Hamilton. If you play Hamilton and Pratt, you
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: have Ortiz. If you play Ortiz and Hamilton, you have Pratt.
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: So I think you're pretty set over there. And then
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: you'll get Lockridge on the team as really you're almost
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: you're Quinton Berry type of role, right? Where he just
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: basically comes off the bench to run or maybe if
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: it's a blowout, he can play.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Any chance that it's Bo Naylor who went with them
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: to Williamsport? Maybe.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: Maybe.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: That was a surprise. I didn't necessarily think that the
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: 27th man would be Bo Naylor. I didn't actually know
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: that for special event games in Major League Baseball, you
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: get a 27th man.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: I feel so much better that you also didn't know, Hunter.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I got that email, and I'm like, wait, they're playing
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: two of them today?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: Because that's the doubleheader move all the time.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: I mean, maybe just as a safety net, Sanchez and Contreras,
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: you want one of those guys. I mean, Sanchez is
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: such a good backup catcher. We've talked about that. I know, Drew,
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: you've mentioned it all year. He is just the quintessential
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: good catcher.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Backup catcher.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: So I don't think he's going to take any time
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: from Sanchez. But it's a lower probability, but it's possible.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: I know the organization and Murph love Brandon Lockridge, so
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: I would be surprised if it's not him. But if
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: it's not, I do think Naylor is probably your second choice.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: Running specialist only. That'd be interesting, right? Mel Stocker, anybody?
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Remember that name?
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Terrence Gore. Hunter Baumgart joining us. Hunter, for those who
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: missed your 5 a.m. hour update that we spun through
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: The updates on Uribe and JC Romero throwing for the
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: T-Rats are encouraging for sure. And it sounds like Uribe
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: is closer to return.
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so. Abner is going to be with
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: the Timbers. So, yeah, Abner Uribe, Jojo Romero, both will
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: be with the Timber Rattlers tonight. Both will pitch in
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: the game. I would think Romero needs a couple outings
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: because he hasn't pitched in a game game in a month.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: We saw him actually throw a live BP at the
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: stadium before. That would have been Friday's game. Um, and
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: so Murphy said, things look good. He said the velo
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: wasn't as high and simply, you're probably not going to
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: get the velo as high in a live BP scenario
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: because you're not in the game. So that's just natural. Uh,
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: but I, I, they liked what he saw, what they saw.
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: I would think, I don't know exactly. I'm sure we'll
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: get the plan today out of New York from Pat Murphy,
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: but most likely a couple to three outings, I would think,
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: and maybe more depending on how they want to, how
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: they want to go about it. Obviously you can have
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: a longer rehab assignment if you need it. And then
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: every rebate, it seems like everything's went pretty smooth. Like
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: you just took a couple of days off and then
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: got back to throwing and then, you know, had a
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: bullpen and everything is seemingly went swimmingly with every rebate,
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: which is great. He is eligible to come off tomorrow.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: So will he come off the aisle tomorrow or maybe
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: will they want one more? I'm not sure, because obviously
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: you want that guy healthy. You don't want to be
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: making any. You don't want to be making any moves
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: too early with him, but it's, it's great news considering
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: the fact that Trevor McGill had basically the same thing,
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: very similar injury last year. And we remember how long,
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, he had, I think one regular season outing
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: before the playoffs. And so getting Abner rebate back as
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: soon as this is, it's great. And you're able to
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: give him a little rest. And, and when these guys,
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: you know, are able to come back soon as you think, okay, yes,
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: maybe the injuries there, but also you just want to,
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, this guy had been doing so much for you,
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: any sign of anything at this point in the season,
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: Give him 15 days. Get him off his feet. Don't
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: have that arm going. And then get him back for
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: the stretch run.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, especially with how important those guys are going to
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: be in the playoffs. I mean, it's obviously important for
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: any team to have the back end of their bullpen,
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: but especially for the Brewers. They've been such an instrumental factor.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Hunter, is it possible that come September, the hottest pitcher
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: in Nashville, Coleman Crowe, could make a reappearance?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: With the brew crew. And also, what did you think?
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I saw the combined no hitter for the sounds the
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: other day.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Right at the front end. Pretty cool. Yeah, Brandon Sprote
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: involved in that. I mean, come on. How about that?
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Putting the paddles to it. How about that? Are either
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: of those guys on your radar as potential call-ups to
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: eat up some innings and rest some other guys? Possibly.
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think... you could get to a scenario
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: where maybe later in the season, say you have things
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: wrapped up and maybe the last week of the season,
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: you see a Coleman Crowe make a start. I just,
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: I mean, maybe Crowe is probably a guy I, I Sprout.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: I just don't know if you can trust him yet.
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: I think you maybe want a little more time in
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: Nashville to get him going. Obviously, you know, hitters. Great.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: I think with Coleman Crowe, you are seeing really good
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: pitching out of him down there. So it's a matter of, okay,
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: how does Gasser pitch? Obviously Gasser would have been the
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: guy to start on this coming Thursday and in two days,
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: but Jacob is around. He's going to be the guy
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: kind of on back to regular rest. So who then
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: starts Friday, Saturday, Sunday will be very, I'll be eager
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: to see, will they go with the five man, you know,
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: will Henderson then start on Friday and then, you know,
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: draw in would be the next guy or do they
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: then put Gasser in and then does draw and officially
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: move to the bullpen. Then I think, I think just seeing,
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: Drowan's been a little shakier as a starter as of late.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: So I would like to see him in that bullpen.
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: And then you have a little more length in your bullpen.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: You've been running a man short because you have that
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: six man rotation for so long here. But I think eventually,
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: you know, they want to get back to that five man.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: And who does that include? Obviously it includes Ms. Henderson,
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: May and Harrison.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: But then you have that fifth spot and Gasser hasn't
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: necessarily taken a hold of it. Obviously Drowan has not
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: really taken a hold of it. Could Coleman Crowe come in?
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: But then do you option someone out of your bullpen?
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: then you'd still kind of be a bullpen guy short
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: if you keep Gasser up here. So there's a lot
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: of math to that. Could Coleman Crowe in September be
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: like you mentioned, a guy that comes up maybe? But
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: I got to think they might want to bullpen Armand.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you want Coleman Crowe out of
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: the bullpen. However, like I said, you want your best
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: 28 guys up in September. And if Coleman Crowe is
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: one of those guys, whether it's bullpen or starter, maybe
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: you do it.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Do you think that for Shane drone now he's over
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: a hundred innings already, right? So is it more of
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: a pitch innings limit with him or an effectiveness in
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: the bullpen? Because I mean, I know he had the
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: one blow up start against the twins where he really
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: couldn't find the strike zone and walks can be an issue.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: No doubt about it, but it feels like out of
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: that grouping that you just mentioned, right? Sprout already know
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: where he's at. and Coleman Crowe and company, and maybe
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Gasser feels like he's just been clearly the best and
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: most reliable out of it. But it feels like his
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: name is the first one to come out of the rotation.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: When we talk about it, is it mostly an innings
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: thing or how, you know, effective he was early on
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: in the year.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: And, you know, add another question.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Do you think DL hall being as good hunter as
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: he's been coming off the IL maybe takes away from
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: some of the need to grab one of those lefties again.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: In the pen.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: Deal Hall's underrated right now. That guy, that guy's a
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: key lefty right now. And obviously you're going to get
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: one back as well with Jojo Romero. And that's another arm.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: How does he fit into everything? And so you could
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: leave drone in the, in the starting rotation. I just,
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: I love him. Maybe it's a personal thing. I love
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: seeing him out of the bullpen under two ERA there
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: so far when he's been there, obviously hasn't been in
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: the bullpen for a couple of months. He had that
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: one relief outing a couple of innings about a week
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: or so ago. And when he was kind of tuning up,
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: I think it was last Tuesday. And then he was,
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: he started on Sunday at the little league classic. I, yeah,
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: I mean, look, both of those guys have not been,
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: you know, top of the line, but you don't need
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: as your fifth starter to be top of the line guy.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: You just need to hold, basically you need your fifth
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: starter to hold you in a ball game and drone
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: has done overall a good job of doing that. So
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: there's an argument to be made. I personally think that
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: your best team is with him in your bullpen, but
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: if he is a better option than Gasser at this point, or,
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: you know, Gasser, obviously Pat Murphy did not like how
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: Gasser went about throwing with a six, nothing lead because
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: he was walking so many guys and, and you just
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: can't do that. So, you know, does that play a
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: role in this and his next start? Obviously he has
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: not been optioned or anything. So I think he would
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: be starting, you know, his next time out maybe, you know,
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: push back a little bit here, maybe into the weekend and,
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: But I personally love what I've seen from Joe and
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: out of the bullpen. You like, you like a lefty
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: out of there, but look, if, if you think that
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: he is your best, one of your best five, then,
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: then you put them out there as a starter.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Hunter Baumgart joining us here, brewers and Mets tonight, you'll
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: have a pregame show firing up right at five o'clock.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: You got it. Five to six this evening.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Is this, I don't know, man, this, now that Peralta
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: is not there, it's still sterns. Like, is there, Is
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: there anything interesting about the Mets at all? And I
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: always say I warn people because bad teams can have
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: good series this time of year. Don't worry about the records.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Doesn't mean anything. Some teams, when you're playing for something,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: it's a different level of pressure than the loosey-goosey, you know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Cancun on three.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: We've got a month to go.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Let's just have fun and enjoy ourselves. So, Hunter, how
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: does this series lay out for you? There's the David
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Stearns aspect that everybody will talk about, I'm sure. But
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: how does this series lay out to you?
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, Pat Murphy said it in his office
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: a couple of days ago.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: You face teams.
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: Right now that are not in contention or very far back,
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: and there can be a freedom that they're playing with,
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: as Pat Murphy likes to say, and that's exactly what
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: you mentioned there, and that could be the case with
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: the Mets. They've played better over the last three weeks
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: or so, so they aren't playing as poorly. They didn't
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: have a great week last week. And look, this Thornton
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: guy threw six shutout innings against you on July 21st,
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: so this is a guy who has been really good
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: in his nine starts for the Mets so far this season. So, yeah,
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: there's not as much there. Obviously, Peralta's not there. Obviously,
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: they got rid of more star players than they added
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: at the deadline. So talent-wise, you would think that they
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: are a worse team. They're giving a lot of young
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: guys a chance now. I really hope we see Mr.–
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: Jan pitch against the Brewers who jumps up and down
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: and lands every time he wants to strike out. Even
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: when he's about to give up a walk-off home run,
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: he jumps up and then down and then it's a
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: ball that gives up a walk-off home run. If you
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: have not seen that guy, Jeffrey Jan, go and check
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: him out because that is, you think Abner Ribe is
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: animated on the mound? Just check out this guy. I
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: just kind of laugh every time. So I'm hoping we
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: see him in the series and maybe the Brewers can
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: hit a home run or two off of.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: That guy as well.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, I work your personality in baseball, right?
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, you do.
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: You do. So, look, the Brewers just need to keep
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: winning series. Obviously, the Cubs won last night, shut out
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: the Diamondbacks. They're back to five and a half back, which,
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: you know, is still a sizable lead. You're not incredibly worried.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: The Cubs would have a 10 game lead in the
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: AL West right now.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: They're dominating a lot of other places. Crazy. What?
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: As we're a month away here, Hunter, what team are
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: you watching closely as the one that is potentially getting
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: hot at the right time?
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's going to be it, because there's like the
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: Diamondbacks Padres. I mean, you could throw the Cardinal like
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: there's that group of wildcard teams that are kind of
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: fighting for that last spot. I think the Phillies and
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: Cubs are pretty well set. You know, they're obviously they could.
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: falter down the stretch we'll see but i would think
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: that they're going to be that fourth fifth and so
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: you're kind of playing for that six or however however
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: it ends up to be but i would think the
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: phillies and cubs get in so if that's the case
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: yeah who is it going to be diamondbacks but they
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: have you know the padres are really hot when the
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: brewers played them uh the diamondbacks have went through a
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: stretch uh the cardinals who know like the cardinals are
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: we know it from the past they can get hot
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: in september and look out so i would think it's
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: one of those three and I would think maybe the
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: Padres are the most talented team and can do it
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: the most and we've seen them go on a hot
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: streak already here in the last couple of weeks so
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: I would think kind of look out for the Padres
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: just because they have so much talent and like it's
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: hard to believe that they haven't been as good as
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: maybe they should be and have maybe the record that
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: either the Cubs do or you know the Phillies do
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: I know they're not that far back of maybe the
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: Phillies but.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: That's a team to watch All right.

• 36:57
  Speaker 3: your door and in nondescript packaging, which everybody loves. How
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: about this for a wake and bake story? Because I
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: just fired up, fired this up and I cannot wait
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: to potentially have some happy place hemp and celebrate. Did
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: you guys know it's national banana split day?
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: I did not. Hold on now. Hold on.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: It is?
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: It is National Banana Split Day. I don't know the
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: last time I've had a really true banana split. And
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: there is the problem, Armin. Yeah.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: One of, if not the, greatest delicacies that I potentially
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: couldn't tell you the last time I had a banana split.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a banger. I've had the banana split blizzard.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: At Dairy Queen, which is phenomenal, right?
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I've had the Savannah bananas, banana split shake at Dairy Queen.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: But nothing hits like that big old three scoops of
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: ice cream right there in the midst of that.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: I just feel like that's one that's kind of gone
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: by the wayside. One of the most famous Sundays of
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: all times, but I don't remember having one for a
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: long time. It has to have the Neapolitan effect. It
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: has to be vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, the classic banana split.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: I think so. I mean, that's part of it.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: That's like the ingredient, but I, you know, I don't know,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: but I like the syrupy goopy stuff they put on.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: It always turned me off. If you're just like, yes,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: you know, straight. chocolate syrup and bananas with the ice cream.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Perfect.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Like sometimes it's overly syrupy.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Like this, this robot making that banana split that's chocolates, chocolate,
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: hot fudge onto the banana split that I'm with. But
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: like Drew just said, you can miss me with like
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: the strawberry filling stuff on there.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: That's for cheesecake.
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: No, throw me the three scoops of ice cream, two
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: big bananas, no pause right there in the midst of
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: that boat. And, uh, Congratulations. Happy National Banana Split Day
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: to all those who celebrate. Indulge yourself with a banana
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: split today. A delicious ice cream-based dessert celebrated on this
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: exact day.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I was looking. See, I'd rather have that fruit, that
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: fake fruit, little fruit. Really? Yeah, I would. Than hot fudge?
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: I'm weird like that. I'm about to say I'm not
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: going to go against the fudge. You can have both.
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: But I'm looking up the Cops Banana Split menu. Bananas
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: or recipe, whatever. Three scoops of custard. Now, I don't
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: think they're doing strawberry because they don't always have that.
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: So there's a banana, three scoops of custard, topped with raspberry, pineapple, strawberry,
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: chopped nuts, and three cherries.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: So theirs is a little different. Giddy up.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: I just can't say that I knew a banana split
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: was able.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: To get its own day. Honestly.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: But maybe I should have understood that it was because
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: it is it's your mom's favorite dessert maybe we gotta respect.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: The banana split more is our problem.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: That's an impressive thing and i might get one not
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: today but sometime well because i don't know if i'm
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: going to cops today or somewhere i'm not gonna make

  Speaker 1: We have all the materials i mean it's an ice
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: cream You need that Neapolitan ice cream.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Which is not a bad thing to have in the freezer. Always.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Like, get that big old five-gallon bucket or gallon bucket
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: that just sits right there in the bottom of the
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: fridge and just collects ice. And then whenever you need to,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: you let it sit out there for a good, like,
