- 1:27Speaker 2: little wet one for you. It's starting to rain out there. Yeah,
- 1:29Speaker 2: Armin sees rain and says free car washes for everybody.
- 1:32Speaker 3: That's right.
- 1:33Speaker 2: You know, absolutely. I'm never going to turn that down, right?
- 1:35Speaker 3: He's the optimist among us. You got to look at
- 1:38Speaker 3: the bright side, literally, even though it's not bright. Although
- 1:41Speaker 3: it was pretty warm this morning when I stepped out.
- 1:43Speaker 3: I was kind of surprised by that. Yeah, a little
- 1:44Speaker 3: bit balmy. Capitalized on it a little bit.
- 1:47Speaker 4: Got a lot of the October, I think, yard work
- 1:50Speaker 4: done this morning that generally I would have been doing
- 1:52Speaker 4: throughout October. But I was hunkered down too busy watching
- 1:57Speaker 4: Brewers baseball to think at all about leaves or grass or.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Anything like that.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Yeah, I think all of our timelines changed. All of
- 2:03Speaker 3: our timelines changed this year.
- 2:05Speaker 2: You good, bro?
- 2:05Speaker 4: It's a big old boy. I don't know what that is.
- 2:08Speaker 4: You're not touching that fly. I would not even think
- 2:12Speaker 4: about swatting it.
- 2:14Speaker 3: I got a big yellow jacket the other day. You
- 2:15Speaker 3: would have been proud of me. Although it was on
- 2:17Speaker 3: its last legs, literally.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Wings, I guess.
- 2:19Speaker 3: But no, this is the time of the year, right?
- 2:21Speaker 3: And usually we do all that stuff. But the Brewers
- 2:25Speaker 3: World Series run, I think, changed all of our timelines.
- 2:28Speaker 3: It was like you snap your fingers and it's November
- 2:29Speaker 3: because we're still in baseball season. because Hunter was telling
- 2:32Speaker 3: me the other day, you know, I think that baseball
- 2:34Speaker 3: is summer and summer wasn't over till the first, but
- 2:36Speaker 3: it was like October. And then you're like, wait a minute.
- 2:38Speaker 3: If you have a maple tree, you get a lot
- 2:39Speaker 3: of reliefs to pick up here. Yeah. It's for, it's
- 2:43Speaker 3: for a good reason, right? It's for, and it was
- 2:46Speaker 3: a warm, say the best. It was the best. And
- 2:48Speaker 3: it was a warm November too. So man, yeah. All
- 2:51Speaker 3: that stuff. You're starting to catch up on. It's like,
- 2:52Speaker 3: it's been five days since they won the world series.
- 2:54Speaker 3: It feels like five minutes to me, you know, that's true.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Tomorrow's our one week anniversary. Let me celebrate that for
- 3:03Speaker 2: what each is. Are we going to use it?
- 3:05Speaker 4: Like you're out like a kid when it goes from
- 3:08Speaker 4: like the weeks to then it's going to be the
- 3:10Speaker 4: month anniversary. And then once you hit a year, then
- 3:13Speaker 4: you stop celebrating it every single week and month.
- 3:16Speaker 3: We're only three months away from me saying a month
- 3:19Speaker 3: ago yesterday.
- 3:20Speaker 2: That's fair. Yeah, we are close. We are close to that,
- 3:23Speaker 2: that opportunity.
- 3:24Speaker 3: We're only a year and three days away from me
- 3:26Speaker 3: saying last year, Tuesday, the bro, whatever this week, Tuesday.
- 3:32Speaker 2: We, uh, we'd love to hear from you. 877-794-1973 surfed
- 3:34Speaker 2: around last night. Watch a little bit of the bucks game.
- 3:42Speaker 2: competitive for a little bit.
- 3:43Speaker 4: It was competitive for a while. They were trying. They
- 3:46Speaker 4: were out there battling. I watched a little bit of
- 3:49Speaker 4: Marquette as well.
- 3:50Speaker 3: That was not a close one, but it was nice
- 3:52Speaker 3: to see all the teams in full swing last night.
- 3:54Speaker 3: The Badgers played, Marquette played, Panthers and obviously the Green
- 3:58Speaker 3: Bay Phoenix and the Bucs. And the Bucs hung in there.
- 4:02Speaker 3: They're playing hard, which I think is what we wanted.
- 4:04Speaker 3: They're playing hard. But Tyler's pacing them. Hawkins looks good.
- 4:07Speaker 3: They just can't finish games quite yet. They can't finish
- 4:10Speaker 3: wins quite yet.
- 4:11Speaker 2: No, I did not watch Marquette. Mercyhurst. The Lakers. The
- 4:17Speaker 2: Lakers from Erie, Pennsylvania. Is that right? I thought it
- 4:21Speaker 2: was North Carolina for some reason.
- 4:23Speaker 4: You could have told me 40 different states and I
- 4:26Speaker 4: would have had no guess as to where that place was.
- 4:29Speaker 3: There are some teams like that where you're like, where's Stetson?
- 4:31Speaker 2: It felt very Vermont-ish. Stetson's in DeLand, Florida. I know that.
- 4:34Speaker 3: The Hatters. Yeah, but Marquette, they covered, I think. It
- 4:38Speaker 3: was like a 31-point... I think.
- 4:40Speaker 2: The Badgers did not against the Denver pioneers.
- 4:43Speaker 3: It's a classic hockey matchup, Wisconsin against Denver from back
- 4:48Speaker 3: in the day and.
- 4:48Speaker 4: Started talking about it during, during Saturday's football festivities, because
- 4:52Speaker 4: there wasn't a ton to talk about at that point.
- 4:54Speaker 4: But Drew, I think the, the, the college game is
- 4:57Speaker 4: going to be an interesting example. And the Badgers are
- 4:59Speaker 4: probably one of those last night where, man, you just
- 5:03Speaker 4: have so many new players on every single one of
- 5:05Speaker 4: these rosters that they don't do. Well, they do now
- 5:09Speaker 4: somewhat preseason with how many exhibition games that they played.
- 5:12Speaker 4: They played three of them before last night, but it
- 5:14Speaker 4: makes you wonder as to how much you can take in.
- 5:18Speaker 3: On any of these games through the first month.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Or two like the classic lehigh or game where at
- 5:23Speaker 4: the cole center on a wednesday night in december over
- 5:27Speaker 4: finals week used to almost be the one forgivable one
- 5:30Speaker 4: but it feels like you're gonna have to be a
- 5:32Speaker 4: little bit more lenient the first couple of months.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Yeah and you have to get to know like you
- 5:35Speaker 3: said bill you have to get to know a brand
- 5:36Speaker 3: new team every year i mean there's just not as
- 5:39Speaker 3: many holdovers as in years past I mean, I try and,
- 5:42Speaker 3: you know, I try and follow Marquette as close as
- 5:44Speaker 3: you can. And still I'm looking at, I'm looking at
- 5:46Speaker 3: Samada through last night and I'm like, wait a minute.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Who is this guy?
- 5:50Speaker 3: Transfer from Louisville. Okay. I totally forgot about that. Played
- 5:53Speaker 3: five years pro in Germany. It's just a whole new world.
- 5:56Speaker 3: Like it's just a whole new world of roster building
- 5:58Speaker 3: of what a college athlete is. And I guess, I
- 6:02Speaker 3: guess by the second month, you'll start to get to
- 6:03Speaker 3: know each team just in time for the tournament to start.
- 6:06Speaker 3: It isn't time for the winter to start and just
- 6:08Speaker 3: in time for like tournament time. And then, Have to
- 6:10Speaker 3: learn a whole new one. But that's your right, Billy.
- 6:12Speaker 3: That's what college basketball is going to be now. It's
- 6:15Speaker 3: a brand new group of players every year. Yeah, that's
- 6:19Speaker 3: kind of what we're up against.
- 6:20Speaker 4: And a guy named Harry Bates last night on Denver
- 6:22Speaker 4: was definitely, that's just one that's on the all-name team.
- 6:25Speaker 4: Whenever he stepped up to the foul line, I just
- 6:27Speaker 4: couldn't help but laugh. You see anything and everything for
- 6:33Speaker 4: 300 college basketball teams. I'm glad the Badgers got one
- 6:37Speaker 4: now with my man Victory.
- 6:39Speaker 2: That's right.
- 6:39Speaker 3: They have a great name there as well. That's a
- 6:41Speaker 3: good point. I mean, you, you love having a guy
- 6:43Speaker 3: in the all name team. It is, it is fun
- 6:45Speaker 3: to have that. So It is like you, you look
- 6:49Speaker 3: at some of these and you're like, are these the
- 6:51Speaker 3: made up names that they have in like a Madden?
- 6:54Speaker 4: It's not five years in on your Madden franchise where
- 6:56Speaker 4: things are just auto generating.
- 6:58Speaker 2: There's actual names that are rolling through.
- 7:00Speaker 4: I don't have as much of a problem in the
- 7:02Speaker 4: college game with the, you mentioned the guys playing overseas
- 7:06Speaker 4: for a number of years, the Badgers new point guard Fox. Well,
- 7:09Speaker 4: he played what three or four years. They said overseas
- 7:12Speaker 4: in Australia. I want to say, I don't have nearly
- 7:15Speaker 4: a kind of problem with that as it seemed like
- 7:17Speaker 4: some people did. It does appear that it's going to
- 7:20Speaker 4: make the basketball much better, though, each and every year
- 7:22Speaker 4: over here.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people are offended by that notion
- 7:25Speaker 3: that a guy could be pro and then go back
- 7:27Speaker 3: to college. But, I mean, this is the new age, right?
- 7:30Speaker 3: This is the new way, and you have to kind
- 7:32Speaker 3: of adjust to it. So, yeah, victory is a good one.
- 7:35Speaker 3: I also think they have a player, Jackson Ball. I mean,
- 7:38Speaker 3: that's a pretty good name for a basketball player.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Jackson Ball?
- 7:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's a pretty good one. New Zealand guy.
- 7:44Speaker 3: So it's a whole new world. Well, the other ball
- 7:47Speaker 3: one last night, LaMelo, he was pretty good.
- 7:50Speaker 4: You do start seeing, and Armando, you mentioned that he
- 7:54Speaker 4: can't close out games yet. I don't know if the
- 7:56Speaker 4: Bucs are going to find that gear quite yet this year.
- 7:59Speaker 4: But I did like seeing Braden Burries get into the
- 8:01Speaker 4: starting lineup, Drew. Nice to start seeing some more moving
- 8:05Speaker 4: and shaking into those reigns. But I'll tell you, last night,
- 8:09Speaker 4: my attention was on on that, that game in Seattle
- 8:12Speaker 4: and goodness gracious, the, uh, the NFC North does have
- 8:16Speaker 4: a little bit of a, uh, Chicago bears problem because
- 8:18Speaker 4: that was one of the better performances drew. I think
- 8:21Speaker 4: we've seen all year long.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Yeah. Top to bottom, uh, it was a spanking and
- 8:26Speaker 2: that's a good team. Well-coached at home. And it was
- 8:29Speaker 2: a spanking starting to feel there was a time in
- 8:33Speaker 2: September where the Brewers played the Cubs. And didn't they
- 8:37Speaker 2: come back and win and maybe even walk them off
- 8:40Speaker 2: at AmFam?
- 8:40Speaker 4: That sounds right, in that little seven-game and 10-day stretch
- 8:43Speaker 4: that they had there.
- 8:44Speaker 2: There was a point where the Brewers, and you just
- 8:47Speaker 2: got the feeling looking at it, it's like, okay, the
- 8:49Speaker 2: Brewers are now a wagon, right? The Brewers are a viable,
- 8:53Speaker 2: not just happy to be there, but a viable playoff,
- 8:56Speaker 2: deep playoff run contender at that juncture. Kind of felt
- 9:01Speaker 2: that way watching the Bears last night. Yeah. Dude, their
- 9:04Speaker 2: offense is really, really good. You've got to start to
- 9:06Speaker 2: prepare yourself for the possibility of the Bears being good
- 9:10Speaker 2: and making a deep playoff run and maybe even a
- 9:12Speaker 2: Super Bowl. It's impossible to say right now. November 3rd.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:15Speaker 2: There's so much real estate between now and February 3rd.
- 9:18Speaker 2: But I think I watched that last night. I'm like,
- 9:22Speaker 2: I have to prepare myself mentally for the Bears being
- 9:25Speaker 2: good enough to make a deep run.
- 9:27Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think the other thing that people are
- 9:28Speaker 4: going to have to mentally prepare themselves or be able
- 9:30Speaker 4: to grasp is that What Caleb Williams, the shortcomings last
- 9:34Speaker 4: year that you were still able to kind of point
- 9:36Speaker 4: to and point out as the issues and the things
- 9:40Speaker 4: that would prohibit him from being one of those guys
- 9:43Speaker 4: drew that you can win because of he's cleaned up
- 9:46Speaker 4: a lot of the efficiency problems. And with that quarterback
- 9:48Speaker 4: and that coach, it's going to be hard for me
- 9:50Speaker 4: to not think that they're going to make multiple deep
- 9:52Speaker 4: playoff runs. I think the division now, after what we
- 9:54Speaker 4: watched this week and you know, injuries happen there, they're
- 9:58Speaker 4: a massive part of the game. I don't know that
- 10:00Speaker 4: Detroit's defense is at all the same without Campbell in
- 10:03Speaker 4: the middle of it. And, and I think that there,
- 10:06Speaker 4: they have some definite warts, even though you just lost
- 10:08Speaker 4: the game last I think that one can very much
- 10:10Speaker 4: be rectified. I think those games in the back end
- 10:14Speaker 4: of the year, though, drew Christmas day in Chicago and
- 10:17Speaker 4: week 18 against Detroit to me are going to be
- 10:20Speaker 4: the two differentiators in the division. Like Chicago is not
- 10:24Speaker 4: going anywhere. That run game is legit. I still don't
- 10:26Speaker 4: even know if they had their best running back available
- 10:28Speaker 4: last night and Swift ran for three TDs. Like there,
- 10:32Speaker 4: that's a, that's a hell of an offense. And Luther
- 10:35Speaker 4: burden in his second year, is becoming the dream scenario
- 10:40Speaker 4: layup throw that you can have, and they're almost able
- 10:44Speaker 4: to just kind of punt with.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Roma Dunze is nice.
- 10:47Speaker 4: He's not that great of a top 10 pick wide receiver,
- 10:50Speaker 4: but they don't really need him to be right now
- 10:51Speaker 4: with what they got with Loveland Burden, and that run
- 10:53Speaker 4: game and offensive line is moving.
- 10:55Speaker 3: Yeah, and they seem to have not had much effect
- 10:59Speaker 3: from losing the center, losing Dahlman before the year.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Bradbury's been really good.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been really good, and then you know, they're
- 11:05Speaker 3: operating like they have a window to take advantage of
- 11:07Speaker 3: and make the Simmons deal. He made a big impact
- 11:09Speaker 3: last night. I thought, and you're right though. Those games
- 11:12Speaker 3: are going to be important because I think Ben Johnson's
- 11:14Speaker 3: kryptonite so far has been the NFC North. What's his
- 11:17Speaker 3: overall record. It's two and something, two and seven. I
- 11:19Speaker 3: want to say two and seven, two and eight or
- 11:20Speaker 3: something like that. So, Maybe, I don't know if that
- 11:24Speaker 3: includes the playoff game against us, but that seems to
- 11:26Speaker 3: be his kryptonite. So that's the one thing. I don't
- 11:29Speaker 3: like thinking about that game.
- 11:31Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know that that's a great stat for
- 11:34Speaker 4: Packers fans to call out because the two would be
- 11:37Speaker 4: against you. No, that's absolutely true. You're right about that.
- 11:41Speaker 4: I do like where your head's at there, sure.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Well, no, because you think, okay, if that's a trend
- 11:44Speaker 3: that he's going to have to start winning some of
- 11:46Speaker 3: those games, if that's his kryptonite, it's a big one.
- 11:49Speaker 3: But maybe that's going to be his chance coming up
- 11:52Speaker 3: now as we approach Christmas to overcome that. Because you're
- 11:56Speaker 3: looking for something if you're a Packer fan.
- 11:58Speaker 2: As we're at the halfway point, and since it's election day,
- 12:02Speaker 2: let's do ranked choice voting.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Okay.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Who are the five best teams in the NFL right now?
- 12:06Speaker 2: Are all of them in the NFC? I still think
- 12:10Speaker 2: still top five.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:11Speaker 4: I think Buffalo still finds their way in there.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Is San Francisco the best team going or are they,
- 12:16Speaker 2: I would, I would still put San Francisco. Yes.
- 12:23Speaker 4: Above everybody else. Even though I think Chicago has a
- 12:29Speaker 4: massive case for it. And I also still think Kansas
- 12:31Speaker 4: city is really, really good. I don't know that I'm
- 12:33Speaker 4: a fully against putting them into that conversation. And the
- 12:36Speaker 4: team that we're going to see coming up tonight on
- 12:38Speaker 4: Thursday night, drew, uh, Don't look now. My Jacksonville Jaguars
- 12:42Speaker 4: might have a case to be into that top five
- 12:45Speaker 4: coming up.
- 12:45Speaker 2: They're still so spotty to me.
- 12:47Speaker 4: They're going to be somewhere into the mix. But I
- 12:50Speaker 4: would put Buffalo in there for sure. I would put
- 12:54Speaker 4: San Francisco in there for sure. And then I think
- 12:59Speaker 4: there's probably five teams that could make a case for
- 13:02Speaker 4: those next three spots, and Chicago would absolutely be one
- 13:04Speaker 4: of them.
- 13:05Speaker 2: I would agree.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Seattle, Denver, you know, and then the thing is like,
- 13:09Speaker 3: where do you look at Pittsburgh? I think that's an
- 13:10Speaker 3: interesting one. There's six and two, but I don't think
- 13:13Speaker 3: a lot of people believe in them yet. Just sort
- 13:14Speaker 3: of like the Vikings. They've only got one loss, but
- 13:16Speaker 3: no one really believes in them. There's a lot of
- 13:18Speaker 3: teams in that, in that kind of economy right there
- 13:21Speaker 3: that you can make the, the case for.
- 13:24Speaker 4: Well, and Cincinnati has put up 35 in each of
- 13:27Speaker 4: their last three games and they've dog walked through.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Now they haven't played anybody.
- 13:30Speaker 4: They played Tennessee and, and, the Dolphins with also Baltimore
- 13:36Speaker 4: in there without Lamar. But now that team's going to
- 13:39Speaker 4: be without Lamar for the rest of the year. So
- 13:40Speaker 4: you're going to definitely start recalibrating some of these. Cincinnati's
- 13:43Speaker 4: going to stay to claim there. Would you put Chicago
- 13:46Speaker 4: in there for sure, though, definitively, Drew? Because last night,
- 13:49Speaker 4: I mean, that is a hell of a place to play.
- 13:51Speaker 4: Hellish place to play. At night, Seattle's been damn near
- 13:55Speaker 4: unbeatable there. And they just blitzed them.
- 13:59Speaker 2: It's bizarre to me that everything tracks with the Bears,
- 14:01Speaker 2: except they're in the division. They're winless 0-2. That's weird.
- 14:06Speaker 2: But their point differential is a solid 54.
- 14:09Speaker 3: And their biggest advantage to this argument would be in
- 14:12Speaker 3: their worst performance, they didn't have Caleb. So it's like, well,
- 14:16Speaker 3: when they're healthy, they're one of those teams. I think
- 14:18Speaker 3: that's how you look at that, right? You'd have to say.
- 14:21Speaker 2: I can't put the Seahawks in my top five. No,
- 14:28Speaker 2: not after last night. Perhaps. But if you're just going
- 14:30Speaker 2: to say, well, it was an off night. Everybody has those.
- 14:32Speaker 2: But yeah, it's like I got San Francisco, Buffalo, Chicago
- 14:36Speaker 2: in some way in my top five. And then it's like,
- 14:39Speaker 2: do we have to throw a bone to Minnesota? Do
- 14:41Speaker 2: we have to say that?
- 14:43Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
- 14:43Speaker 2: I don't know that I can. Lions on the right day.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Lions on the right day are definitely in the mix there.
- 14:49Speaker 4: And that's where last night's result, Drew, is kind of
- 14:52Speaker 4: weirdly good for the Packers because anybody catching L's in
- 14:57Speaker 4: the NFC is a good thing right now to where
- 15:00Speaker 4: you sit up it. hard to say that, you know,
- 15:02Speaker 4: five and three is where you're really going to be
- 15:05Speaker 4: on the danger zone of, or on the, you know,
- 15:07Speaker 4: walking the plank potentially making the playoffs, but it's seven
- 15:10Speaker 4: teams for five spots, everybody, but Arizona in the West
- 15:13Speaker 4: and everybody in the NFC North and two teams are
- 15:17Speaker 4: going to win those divisions.
- 15:18Speaker 2: And there's going to be three wildcard spots.
- 15:19Speaker 4: So as much as you always want to root against
- 15:22Speaker 4: Chicago and you'll be able to rectify that you can
- 15:25Speaker 4: take care of that tiebreaker by beating them on Christmas
- 15:27Speaker 4: day and leapfrogging them. Might be even better that Seattle
- 15:31Speaker 4: went and grabbed that fourth loss last night.
- 15:33Speaker 2: If the playoffs started today, the two seven seeds are
- 15:36Speaker 2: the team's meeting Sunday afternoon in Foxborough. How about that?
- 15:40Speaker 4: Oh, and people would be ticked. How's the internet going
- 15:43Speaker 4: to handle the Packers as a seven seed again?
- 15:45Speaker 1: Again?
- 15:46Speaker 3: Our records didn't spot the dinner table. Like, our spot seventh,
- 15:50Speaker 3: it's kind of funny how that works. Although, maybe this
- 15:52Speaker 3: is a good time now for the Packers to start
- 15:53Speaker 3: sneaking up on teams. You know, they win games, not
- 15:56Speaker 3: incredibly amazingly, but they slowly start to win games. Everyone
- 16:00Speaker 3: else is getting talked about. It's like, okay, the Packers
- 16:03Speaker 3: are seventh again. But if they have a slow improvement,
- 16:06Speaker 3: maybe this could be the time.
- 16:07Speaker 2: So the Panthers would be the four seed right now
- 16:10Speaker 2: if the playoffs started today.
- 16:11Speaker 3: Giants the three, right?
- 16:12Speaker 2: And they're three and four. But the Panthers' current playoff probability,
- 16:16Speaker 2: according to NFL.com, is 33%.
- 16:20Speaker 3: Right, because they're out of the wildcard picture.
- 16:22Speaker 2: They just have anybody at NFC South. Somebody's got to
- 16:26Speaker 2: win it. Somebody's got to win it. Somebody's got to
- 16:27Speaker 2: be in there. Packers, though. Throw them all 30%. Who cares?
- 16:30Speaker 2: Packers at five and three. They're fourth in their division. 49%
- 16:35Speaker 2: playoff potential.
- 16:37Speaker 4: And I wonder how much last night helped that, because
- 16:40Speaker 4: you then would have Seahawks are on the bubble at 50.
- 16:42Speaker 4: Seahawks on the bubble at 50. Where do they have
- 16:44Speaker 4: the Rams in there as well at four and four?
- 16:46Speaker 3: 42%. Okay.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Okay.
- 16:50Speaker 4: They were, you know, I thought it was 60% to
- 16:52Speaker 4: go undefeated. Now they're sitting at four and four and
- 16:55Speaker 4: maybe getting miles Garrett back coming up this week. Maybe
- 16:58Speaker 4: like that's going to be that game on Thanksgiving Eve.
- 17:04Speaker 4: Netflix has to be salivating because there was a moment
- 17:07Speaker 4: in the beginning of the year where the Rams were
- 17:09Speaker 4: one into the Packers. Just got the, their doors blown
- 17:13Speaker 4: off by Atlanta at home. And Netflix was sitting around
- 17:16Speaker 4: saying who on earth is going to be wanting to
- 17:18Speaker 4: watch us on blackout Wednesday. Now, Miles Garrett and Micah
- 17:21Speaker 4: Parsons might be coming back. And that game is going
- 17:24Speaker 4: to be a battle for two teams that desperately needed
- 17:26Speaker 4: for playoff positioning. Pretty solid scheduling at that point. That's
- 17:29Speaker 4: going to be a fun one and a huge one
- 17:31Speaker 4: that we already still have circled. But Foxborough this weekend.
- 17:37Speaker 4: opportunity against our Armand's boy, Drake may.
- 17:39Speaker 3: Yeah. We got to get something going on against him
- 17:41Speaker 3: because he's changing the narrative on me and I can't
- 17:44Speaker 3: be wrong about him and Caleb. Because that's going to
- 17:46Speaker 3: be frustrating, even though my old account doesn't exist. Everyone
- 17:49Speaker 3: was bookmarking that one. I'm sure the Bears fans will
- 17:52Speaker 3: find me. Do those bookmarks save because you have the same? No,
- 17:55Speaker 3: it's a totally different account.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 17:58Speaker 4: So you're completely off their radar. It's like a new
- 18:00Speaker 4: house with the same address. You're going to have to
- 18:02Speaker 4: start saying some outlandish stuff on there.
- 18:03Speaker 3: I'm going to have to get back because I told
- 18:05Speaker 3: them all a bookmark when I said the Bears won't
- 18:06Speaker 3: be 500.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Sure.
- 18:07Speaker 4: It looks like they're going to, they're going to think
- 18:09Speaker 4: you were just running from the grind, deleting your account.
- 18:11Speaker 3: That's the thing that bothers me the most. I don't
- 18:13Speaker 3: want them thinking I was afraid of this.
- 18:15Speaker 4: They're going to think you're that Florida state fan that
- 18:16Speaker 4: said he was going to eat the, if his team
- 18:19Speaker 4: ended up losing, there you go.
- 18:20Speaker 3: And then he disappeared on him and now they had
- 18:21Speaker 3: to fire their coach. I'll eat it. I'm happy to eat.
- 18:24Speaker 3: I'm not happy to do it, but I'll eat it.
- 18:25Speaker 2: I'm not going to, I don't want to run.
- 18:26Speaker 3: I don't want them thinking that they got me to
- 18:28Speaker 3: run from the grind. That's the worst part about it. Yeah, no,
- 18:31Speaker 3: we're going to have some very, very interesting games in
- 18:33Speaker 3: this league coming up. And, uh, Packers-Patriots will be one
- 18:36Speaker 3: of them. I do like that we keep seeing the
- 18:38Speaker 3: highlights of Packers-Patriots from the past, the Super Bowl highlights,
- 18:43Speaker 3: the 2014 matchup against Brady.
- 18:44Speaker 2: I was going to say, I prefer to not watch
- 18:46Speaker 2: the Conley highlight again.
- 18:48Speaker 3: No, I don't need that one. No, that's for sure.
- 18:50Speaker 3: That was not a fun one. That was a Matt
- 18:52Speaker 3: Flynn game, but still. The 2014 game is still one
- 18:55Speaker 3: of my favorite regular season games ever, probably. That Rodgers-Brady
- 18:59Speaker 3: matchup at Lambeau, that was such a fun one. So
- 19:02Speaker 3: I enjoy seeing those replays. All week, but yeah, it'll
- 19:06Speaker 3: be a good one.
- 19:07Speaker 2: It's going to be good. Give us, you know, since
- 19:09Speaker 2: it is election day, we're going to rank choice voting.
- 19:12Speaker 2: We could go top five Tuesday, if you will. I
- 19:14Speaker 2: was thinking about five best teams in the NFL right now. Snapshot.
- 19:18Speaker 2: And again, that's what it is, is a snapshot. That is, yes.
- 19:20Speaker 2: Everybody's one injury away from not being a best in
- 19:23Speaker 2: the top five, right?
- 19:24Speaker 1: Oh, yes.
- 19:24Speaker 4: But now, Drew, it's like actually fair to do it, right?
- 19:27Speaker 4: Because you kind of blink and realize, holy cow, at
- 19:30Speaker 4: the end of this week, it's halfway through the NFL season.
- 19:32Speaker 2: We're halfway through. We're at the halfway point. So it's
- 19:34Speaker 2: time to take stock. Some say, like Wayne Larrabee's always
- 19:37Speaker 2: told us, it takes you a month to four to
- 19:39Speaker 2: six games to figure out where you are. Figure out
- 19:41Speaker 2: who you're at. Some would say the season doesn't really
- 19:43Speaker 2: start till after thanksgiving that's when you're you know when
- 19:46Speaker 2: all the injured guys get back and that's when you
- 19:48Speaker 2: that's when you start putting in the work when the
- 19:50Speaker 2: packers might be fully whole well yeah and especially if
- 19:53Speaker 2: parson starts practicing today my other thing in terms of
- 19:57Speaker 2: the top five and this one could get spicy well
- 20:00Speaker 2: let's do it we're the top five professional sports athletes
- 20:03Speaker 2: in the state of Wisconsin right at this moment. Ooh,
- 20:06Speaker 2: at this very moment. At this very moment. In terms of,
- 20:09Speaker 2: I'm talking popularity, Q rating, jersey rating, whatever. Like, who
- 20:13Speaker 2: are the top, who are your top five at this
- 20:16Speaker 2: very moment? Man.
- 20:17Speaker 3: That's so tough.
- 20:18Speaker 2: I love that. We'll discuss this as we move forward today.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Ranked choice voting here. Why not? We're huddled up. It's
- 20:24Speaker 2: a rainy Tuesday. We're glad you're hanging out with us.

- 21:06Speaker 2: so it's Election Day. That's a light sports calendar today
- 21:09Speaker 2: because of Election Day. How many stickers did you guys snag?
- 21:13Speaker 2: I didn't get any. I voted early.
- 21:15Speaker 3: Oh, you didn't get one? I had to get my sticker. What,
- 21:17Speaker 3: you try to get.
- 21:18Speaker 2: Extras so you can flex them?
- 21:21Speaker 3: Well, where I used to vote, they had future voter stickers.
- 21:26Speaker 1: All right.
- 21:26Speaker 3: So I thought that was kind of cool. I remember
- 21:28Speaker 3: giving one to Lena like a year or two ago.
- 21:31Speaker 3: And they didn't have them now where I vote. And
- 21:34Speaker 3: I said, you know, you guys don't have any of
- 21:35Speaker 3: those future voter stickers, do you? And she goes, no,
- 21:37Speaker 3: we don't. I'm like, that's all right. Can I get
- 21:39Speaker 3: a couple more for my kids while I have one child?
- 21:41Speaker 3: So I did snag one extra. I got three. There
- 21:44Speaker 3: you go. But I feel like that's okay as a sticker.
- 21:46Speaker 3: They don't care. They don't care, Billy.
- 21:48Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 21:50Speaker 2: I'm glad you got them. I'm glad you got them. Everybody,
- 21:54Speaker 2: if you've not voted, I know it's raining, but make
- 21:56Speaker 2: a plan. That's awesome.
- 21:57Speaker 3: And take it easy on the poll workers, all right?
- 21:59Speaker 3: I mean, the computers were down where I went, and
- 22:01Speaker 3: everyone was griping about it because it was taking longer.
- 22:03Speaker 2: It's definitely their fault.
- 22:05Speaker 3: Yeah, like, take it easy. I mean, they're out here
- 22:07Speaker 3: working on it like the best they can. They're volunteering.
- 22:09Speaker 2: That's right.
- 22:10Speaker 3: I mean, they might get paid something. I really don't
- 22:11Speaker 3: know poll workers, but they're out there. Trust me. This
- 22:14Speaker 3: is not like, you know, the most peaches and cream
- 22:16Speaker 3: place to be, all right, is dealing with people trying
- 22:18Speaker 3: to vote, so... Take it easy out there. We're all
- 22:20Speaker 3: trying to participate in the process.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Apparently there's a polling place in Kansas that ran out
- 22:25Speaker 2: of ballots at 8 a.m. Whoa. That was a little
- 22:28Speaker 2: clerical error because they ordered 100 ballots instead of 100,000 ballots.
- 22:34Speaker 2: That's amazing. That is amazing. I love that. Well done.
- 22:37Speaker 2: Did you imagine being the receptionist when that drop-off comes?
- 22:41Speaker 4: Whoops.
- 22:42Speaker 3: And there are some more boxes, right?
- 22:44Speaker 2: That's it.
- 22:45Speaker 3: We got one. And then, and then there are some
- 22:47Speaker 3: places that are like, just thinking next level. Like the
- 22:50Speaker 3: one I go to is actually a church. And they
- 22:53Speaker 3: funnel you out in one direction where they had the
- 22:55Speaker 3: bake sale going. And they're like, we're also having a
- 22:57Speaker 3: bake sale. The church ladies, they put it on.
- 22:59Speaker 2: Oh, there you go.
- 23:00Speaker 3: You're fundraising the whole church. I mean, you got me
- 23:03Speaker 3: crazy if you don't think I bought like four donuts.
- 23:05Speaker 2: I'm going to need that seven-layer bar. Yeah, no doubt.
- 23:08Speaker 3: Let's go.
- 23:08Speaker 4: So what you're telling me is if you're a Boy
- 23:12Speaker 4: Scout or a Girl Scout and you are not staked
- 23:14Speaker 4: out outside of one of the polling places, you might
- 23:15Speaker 4: be messing up.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. Treats.
- 23:17Speaker 3: And then they had.
- 23:18Speaker 4: Those popcorn buckets would be slapping walking out of there.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? You could sell candy and you
- 23:23Speaker 3: could sell concessions in line. I mean, that would be
- 23:26Speaker 3: the way to go. And then they had little flag
- 23:30Speaker 3: sugar cookies. I'm like, that's perfect. I'm going to buy
- 23:32Speaker 3: three of these. So see, Billy, I'm participating.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Proud of you. If you earn it, I'm paying. You
- 23:38Speaker 2: can participate. Well, first of all, you should participate in
- 23:41Speaker 2: the democratic process. Get out and vote today. But our
- 23:45Speaker 2: Our spin on it is we're doing ranked choice voting.
- 23:48Speaker 2: Top five Tuesday. We're the top five athletes in Wisconsin
- 23:51Speaker 2: right now. Top five favorite and can be any way
- 23:53Speaker 2: you want to. Greatness, Q rating, top five jerseys you
- 23:57Speaker 2: want to buy. Who are they? Who's on it? Who
- 24:00Speaker 2: are your top five?
- 24:01Speaker 4: So the tough thing, Drew, as I was trying to
- 24:03Speaker 4: do this during the break, is at some point I
- 24:06Speaker 4: have to put a Green Bay Packer in there.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Of course.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Yeah. Right.
- 24:10Speaker 4: Well, OK, but for for the longest time, that would
- 24:14Speaker 4: never have been the case. I heard our friend Matt
- 24:16Speaker 4: Vaskersian talking about his moments, realizing just how high up
- 24:23Speaker 4: on the pedestal the Brewers are or the Brewers are
- 24:26Speaker 4: right now over the Packers.
- 24:27Speaker 2: He was joking about it with levering.
- 24:28Speaker 4: He's like, guys, they used to make a bottled water
- 24:30Speaker 4: distributor change and people would go up.
- 24:33Speaker 2: There for the press conference instead of this. And Drew,
- 24:35Speaker 2: you would make this list and you could list off
- 24:37Speaker 2: the left guard before you'd be able to put the
- 24:40Speaker 2: second brewer. That's right.
- 24:41Speaker 3: It's so true. I mean, that's the reality.
- 24:43Speaker 4: So let me know what you guys think, because I
- 24:46Speaker 4: put this one and it's probably more because of the
- 24:49Speaker 4: youths than any.
- 24:50Speaker 2: I put Miz as the number one in the state.
- 24:53Speaker 4: Right.
- 24:53Speaker 3: That's pretty reasonable.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Number one. He's about to win the Cy Young, which
- 24:57Speaker 2: is for a pitcher about the highest honor you can win.
- 25:00Speaker 4: And I got to think after Drew, now maybe I'm wrong.
- 25:02Speaker 4: I'm not an elite ball knower like you. I did
- 25:05Speaker 4: not anticipate Bryce Terang being top three in MVP voting
- 25:09Speaker 4: last night.
- 25:09Speaker 2: It's impressive.
- 25:10Speaker 4: When that news came out, I wonder if Miz is
- 25:12Speaker 4: going to find himself on some ballots for that one
- 25:14Speaker 4: as well.
- 25:15Speaker 3: He should get votes. I think if they're voting the
- 25:17Speaker 3: way they are now, which is a lot of war-based stuff,
- 25:20Speaker 3: they both have very high wars. There's no reason to
- 25:21Speaker 3: think you shouldn't get some sort of votes. And I
- 25:24Speaker 3: would say kind of a lean year for obvious superstar
- 25:27Speaker 3: MVP-type candidates in the NFL. A lot of good teams. But, yeah,
- 25:30Speaker 3: I think Miz is a good one, though. I mean,
- 25:32Speaker 3: you're talking about a guy that throws faster than anybody,
- 25:35Speaker 3: so he's got the excitement spectacle.
- 25:37Speaker 4: He's got the phenom part of it. He's got the
- 25:39Speaker 4: relatability part, which I think is the number one. He's
- 25:42Speaker 4: got the hardware and everything.
- 25:43Speaker 2: The fact that Terang is going to finish third behind
- 25:45Speaker 2: PCA and Shohei is like, oh, well, okay then. That's
- 25:48Speaker 2: a hell of a graphic to put yourself on. But, yeah,
- 25:52Speaker 2: I mean, PCA is going to win. by acclamation likely
- 25:55Speaker 2: unanimous he's the mvp i.
- 25:56Speaker 4: Was gonna say i would be almost surprised if it
- 25:58Speaker 4: wasn't unanimous especially how how much shohei dropped off at
- 26:02Speaker 4: the end of the year it would have been fun
- 26:03Speaker 4: to watch them actually go and duke it out the
- 26:05Speaker 4: rest of the year uh but i was glad ultimately
- 26:07Speaker 4: that shohei wasn't himself at the end of it you.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Got ms first that okay i mean that's you know
- 26:13Speaker 2: he pitched what 28 30 games or whatever it's like
- 26:15Speaker 2: yeah he's starting pitcher but he's That's not a bad
- 26:18Speaker 2: pick by any stretch.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Right.
- 26:20Speaker 2: I just met number one.
- 26:21Speaker 4: And I think he related to be around for a while.
- 26:23Speaker 2: And he's dominant. He's national news every time he pitches.
- 26:25Speaker 4: And the smile, the Forrest Gump part of it, because
- 26:29Speaker 4: this is come on, because Drew number one was always Giannis.
- 26:32Speaker 4: And it wasn't just because he was the biggest, baddest
- 26:35Speaker 4: dude in the NBA. It was because of the buddy,
- 26:37Speaker 4: the L factor. I think this is the only one
- 26:39Speaker 4: with a little bit of that. But at least his
- 26:41Speaker 4: basketball run is my number two man for Jackson Churio. Apparently,
- 26:46Speaker 4: he loves hoops. I saw him shooting a little bit
- 26:48Speaker 4: after the game last night. And they were shooting at
- 26:51Speaker 4: the Bucks game Saturday. Him and Pratt were shooting, putting
- 26:53Speaker 4: up jumpers. Listen, if anybody has a hoop in a court,
- 26:56Speaker 4: he might want to run threes. He could play in
- 26:58Speaker 4: any game in this state. And for two guys under
- 27:02Speaker 4: the age of 25 to be my one, too, I
- 27:04Speaker 4: think is pretty damn impressive as to what they've built up.
- 27:06Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 27:06Speaker 3: Jackson's shot looked good last night at the Marquette game.
- 27:08Speaker 3: So did Bryce's jumper look wet, but I don't know
- 27:10Speaker 3: if you realize that Jackson's dad is also a big
- 27:13Speaker 3: NBA fan. And apparently they're all named after NBA players. Well, Jackson,
- 27:18Speaker 3: Brian is the middle name and that's after Colby and
- 27:21Speaker 3: the younger Jason, the younger brother's middle name is O'Neill
- 27:25Speaker 3: at the shack. And then there's another one, I think
- 27:26Speaker 3: for Anthony, for Carmelo. I don't think I didn't realize that.
- 27:29Speaker 3: And so I read, I forget whose.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Article it was.
- 27:31Speaker 3: I should know this that I read last night, but there,
- 27:35Speaker 3: the Cheerios, Mr. Cheerios, a big, big NBA fan. And
- 27:38Speaker 3: they're all kind of got homages to NBA players.
- 27:41Speaker 4: Well, listen, that's a good one because he's the closest
- 27:44Speaker 4: thing to an NBA player.
- 27:45Speaker 2: I have on my list. No bucks.
- 27:47Speaker 4: No, no, I'm sorry. As much as I would love
- 27:50Speaker 4: to put Mr. Falcon, I would love to put Tyler
- 27:53Speaker 4: here on the list. He, he reached the HM category.
- 27:56Speaker 4: He's just hanging out in the honorable mentions.
- 27:58Speaker 2: Okay. Not HNM, just in the HMs.
- 28:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 28:04Speaker 4: I thought about Jordan love after the drew, but I
- 28:08Speaker 4: did crowbar in William Contreras. Ooh. Now three brewers before
- 28:13Speaker 4: Yelich is a hell of a, a hell of a move, right?
- 28:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 28:18Speaker 3: I mean, but this brewery team has so many, which.
- 28:20Speaker 2: Is the X factor. Cause he's the, you know, He's
- 28:23Speaker 2: the emeritus, the captain. He's the favorite emeritus. But he wouldn't.
- 28:28Speaker 4: None of these guys have gotten that I know of.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Have people been calling us for three years asking to
- 28:33Speaker 4: have traded?
- 28:34Speaker 1: True.
- 28:34Speaker 2: So that was where I did struggle.
- 28:37Speaker 4: Maybe all of that is completely forgiven for Yelich now,
- 28:40Speaker 4: and I do put him up there into the top five,
- 28:43Speaker 4: but I could put Contreras three.
- 28:45Speaker 2: I put Jordan Love four.
- 28:46Speaker 3: He's got to be in the top five somewhere.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Oh, I put Sal Freeling number five.
- 28:53Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing. And that's what John Kurzawa said, too, here.
- 28:56Speaker 3: I put Sal Freeling number five. Because he'd get the votes.
- 28:58Speaker 3: Whether or not you think he's as good as these
- 29:01Speaker 3: other guys, he's the people's champ. I mean, right?
- 29:04Speaker 4: He did the Lambo leap that everybody loves. He's the smaller, slender,
- 29:10Speaker 4: smaller guy. He gets jokes from the manager. However, still
- 29:16Speaker 4: comes up in big moments. And, I mean, that home
- 29:19Speaker 4: run in game two.
- 29:23Speaker 2: is going to be on the sizzle reel.
- 29:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:24Speaker 4: I mean, the Cooper Pratt one probably should. And if
- 29:27Speaker 4: they would have won it in game four, Cooper Pratt
- 29:30Speaker 4: is into that list.
- 29:31Speaker 3: Right.
- 29:32Speaker 4: But since that one's going to get kind of lost
- 29:34Speaker 4: into the shuffle of the amazing moments they had, the
- 29:38Speaker 4: free look one, I think is going to be one of,
- 29:40Speaker 4: the main backdrops when you walk into American family field
- 29:43Speaker 4: for the next number of years.
- 29:44Speaker 2: So I put free like number five.
- 29:45Speaker 3: Which is amazing for a guy. I mean that I think,
- 29:49Speaker 3: I think you could objectively say was their worst starter.
- 29:52Speaker 3: or their worst regular this year. But Sal is the
- 29:55Speaker 3: people's champ. That's the regular season, not in the playoffs.
- 29:57Speaker 3: The playoffs, you got it done.
- 29:59Speaker 2: Everything's a snapshot. There's some recency bias with the Brewers,
- 30:02Speaker 2: for sure.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Big time.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Big time. Three weeks from now, if he has a
- 30:05Speaker 2: big day, does Micah Parsons nudge his way back into
- 30:07Speaker 2: the top five?
- 30:08Speaker 4: You would think, yes. Because Drew, you know, out of sight,
- 30:12Speaker 4: out of mind's a big part of it.
- 30:13Speaker 2: Big deal. Big part of it. And like, Golden and
- 30:15Speaker 2: Watson make, you know, it's like Matthew Golden, like, hey,
- 30:18Speaker 2: wait a minute. Free, like, had a nice season and all,
- 30:20Speaker 2: but look what I'm putting up. Like, Well, and Christian
- 30:23Speaker 2: Watson walking out of the ambulance. That's a pretty baller move.
- 30:27Speaker 4: Damn, if you're going to put one of the Packers
- 30:28Speaker 4: on there, he might be ahead of Jordan Love after
- 30:31Speaker 4: that moment.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Well, yeah.
- 30:31Speaker 2: And Jordan Love's playing phenomenal right now. Yeah, Jordan Love's numbers.
- 30:35Speaker 2: He is playing so well right now. And ballers know it.
- 30:38Speaker 2: I heard. Tom Brady on with Colin Cowherd. We should
- 30:40Speaker 2: probably listen to some of that because Brady's going to
- 30:42Speaker 2: be on the call Sunday. He's returning to Foxborough, going
- 30:44Speaker 2: to be emotional for him. And that's a great call, Drew.
- 30:47Speaker 2: But yeah. And Brady was saying like Jordan Love is
- 30:49Speaker 2: balling out. Like, and he is anybody who knows ball
- 30:52Speaker 2: knows what he's up against. When you look at how
- 30:54Speaker 2: bad the offensive line, like historically bad, how non-existent the
- 30:58Speaker 2: running game is for him to still be dropping balls
- 31:01Speaker 2: in a bucket and having explosive plays and, What is
- 31:05Speaker 2: he leading the yard? Leading the league in yards, 16
- 31:09Speaker 2: to six and touchdown to interception. I think he's top
- 31:11Speaker 2: five in touchdowns. There was 16. Yeah. I mean, he's
- 31:14Speaker 2: having an incredible season without a lot of help.
- 31:17Speaker 4: And drew with, I mean, Bill Huber's piece on just
- 31:21Speaker 4: how awful the running game is of, you know, damn
- 31:24Speaker 4: near the worst running game of all time in the
- 31:27Speaker 4: NFL and playing. I mean, behind a guy this past
- 31:32Speaker 4: week when he, you haul off and have the game
- 31:35Speaker 4: you do against Carolina, who was the last offensive lineman
- 31:39Speaker 4: to make the team as the backup left tackle playing center.
- 31:43Speaker 4: The shuffling and the maneuvering they've had to do up front.
- 31:47Speaker 4: Speaks volumes to what Matt LaFleur was mentioning in the
- 31:50Speaker 4: beginning of the year, that soundbite that Stacey Dales and
- 31:52Speaker 4: Brian Baldinger had a training camp of he, him manipulating
- 31:56Speaker 4: the rush and the pocket and understanding what to do
- 32:00Speaker 4: at the line of scrimmage. He's showcasing it because he
- 32:02Speaker 4: probably should be, have been sacked a large number of
- 32:06Speaker 4: times more than he is right now, only at 14.
- 32:10Speaker 4: And you're looking at guys that have been sacked upwards
- 32:12Speaker 4: of 30 times already.
- 32:14Speaker 3: Yeah, he just, I don't think Jordan's ever going to
- 32:16Speaker 3: get the acclamation that he deserves probably for how well
- 32:19Speaker 3: he's playing. It's just the way it is, whether it's
- 32:22Speaker 3: his style or whether it's how unassuming he is. But he's,
- 32:26Speaker 3: I said during last week's game, he should be somewhere
- 32:28Speaker 3: in the MVP conversation. Don't think it's going to happen.
- 32:32Speaker 3: You're going to get a lot more pub out of
- 32:33Speaker 3: other guys. Obviously, Caleb's going to take a lot of
- 32:35Speaker 3: shine in the way he plays. It is what it is,
- 32:37Speaker 3: but Jordan is playing as well with as much adverse effects.
- 32:40Speaker 3: You should not be able to complete this many passes
- 32:43Speaker 3: without a running game, and the Packers have one of
- 32:45Speaker 3: the worst of all time right now. I mean, that's
- 32:47Speaker 3: just the way it is. So it makes it all
- 32:49Speaker 3: that much tougher, and he's playing well. So I think
- 32:52Speaker 3: Jordan deserves to be in the top five somewhere.
- 32:54Speaker 1: There.
- 32:55Speaker 2: It's funny.
- 32:55Speaker 3: We haven't even mentioned like Aaron Ashby yet. Like there
- 32:57Speaker 3: are so many guys you.
- 32:58Speaker 2: Could think of.
- 32:59Speaker 3: There's just, it's just the, the, the reasons, the effect
- 33:01Speaker 3: of this great Brewers run makes it hard, but.
- 33:05Speaker 4: That's what, that's why it's five is a tough thing
- 33:08Speaker 4: to do.
- 33:08Speaker 2: There's a lot of very lovable guys. Jake Bowers, man
- 33:11Speaker 2: in the hour. I didn't make it.
- 33:13Speaker 3: That's another good one. I mean, that's, yeah. I mean,
- 33:15Speaker 3: if you did him after game four.
- 33:17Speaker 4: Trevor McGill, mister, we need more beard than McGill. There's
- 33:20Speaker 4: a lot of guys that people would like to put
- 33:21Speaker 4: in here. That's a tough, tough list to make. And
- 33:24Speaker 4: it's a subjective list. You might have Garrett Mitchell on
- 33:26Speaker 4: yours because you like.
- 33:27Speaker 2: The cut of his jib. For sure. Well, I think
- 33:29Speaker 2: there's a lot of female fans that might have Garrett Mitchell. Yeah,
- 33:31Speaker 2: that's for sure. A lot of female fans. A lot
- 33:33Speaker 2: of them.
- 33:33Speaker 3: A lot of the Sal effect there. You might have
- 33:35Speaker 3: Bobby Diesel. He was probably our best starter in the postseason.
- 33:39Speaker 3: I mean, Bob Guest. So, you know, there's a lot
- 33:42Speaker 3: of guys that you could.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Well, and again, this is a snapshot because three, four
- 33:47Speaker 2: months from now, Armand might be extolling Nigel James Jr.
- 33:51Speaker 2: as his guy.
- 33:52Speaker 3: I hope so. If he has the type of year
- 33:54Speaker 3: that Marquette fans hope for, that would be pretty nice.
- 33:56Speaker 2: So.
- 33:58Speaker 3: Uh, David Koenig regarding top five Wisconsin athletes right now,
- 34:00Speaker 3: almost feel like how many spots you have to get
- 34:02Speaker 3: down to list before you encounter a number.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Yep.
- 34:04Speaker 3: That's basically what we've been saying. A good point on YouTube.
- 34:07Speaker 3: Jordan loving that slot.
- 34:09Speaker 2: I think I'm reading the sarcasm font because wildcat Mark
- 34:13Speaker 2: friend of the program said his top five picks. Number one,
- 34:16Speaker 2: Colton Joseph. Number two, Doug Gottlieb. Number three, Luke Fickle.
- 34:20Speaker 2: Number four, Josh Jacobs. And number five, Trace Mack. I
- 34:24Speaker 2: don't think he understood the assignment. I don't think he
- 34:27Speaker 2: quite got it. It's a sarcasm fund as a top five.
- 34:30Speaker 2: I like it. I like the sarcasm.
- 34:32Speaker 3: Well, we could do that side of it, too.
- 34:33Speaker 2: I don't know why we have to be negative. Ranked
- 34:36Speaker 2: choice voting, top five, bottom five. It's all good. Everything
- 34:40Speaker 2: is open for discussion today. Oh, my goodness. Because we're
- 34:44Speaker 2: doing ranked choice voting on election day. Top five Tuesday
- 34:47Speaker 2: is a throwback to a previous era. That's hilarious. Top
- 34:50Speaker 2: five Tuesday. All right, 877-794-1973. You are in the huddle,
- 34:56Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Drew Billion-Armin on this Tuesday in the
- 34:58Speaker 2: good land, Election Day. We're having some fun with that
- 35:01Speaker 2: in the huddle. Ranked choice voting, if you will. It's
- 35:03Speaker 2: basically top five Tuesday. Top five in any category you
- 35:06Speaker 2: feel like. For example, top five either pieces that you
- 35:12Speaker 2: have or pieces that you covet of Brewers Championship memorabilia.
- 35:16Speaker 3: Oh, that's good because people are accumulating them now.
- 35:19Speaker 2: They are.
- 35:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 35:20Speaker 2: They are. And still sticker shock is still a thing
- 35:22Speaker 2: because a friend, my friend went and bought her sister
- 35:25Speaker 2: a hoodie and spent 90 bucks at Kohl's on a hoodie. Yeah,
- 35:29Speaker 2: still 90 bucks.
- 35:30Speaker 3: That's the one that's getting me. And I understand they're
- 35:32Speaker 3: going to be a lot, but 90 bucks for a
- 35:33Speaker 3: hoodie is a lot. Although I'm going.
- 35:34Speaker 2: To cave and get one.
- 35:35Speaker 4: But the thing is, I don't know that there's a
- 35:38Speaker 4: lot of hoodies that you're getting for 30 bucks anymore.
- 35:40Speaker 3: Not 30. I kind of thought they'd be 60 or 70,
- 35:42Speaker 3: to be honest. I know we're just talking about 20
- 35:46Speaker 3: more dollars, but it just, that was what little, cause
- 35:48Speaker 3: I think I'm trying to remember what they were when
- 35:50Speaker 3: the bucks won. And I thought they were in that 65,
- 35:52Speaker 3: 70 range.
- 35:53Speaker 4: But if you're getting the Packers, I would just say
- 35:57Speaker 4: any kind of sideline gear at the Packers pro shop
- 35:59Speaker 4: is probably right in that same wheelhouse.
- 36:02Speaker 3: I think they're up there now.
- 36:03Speaker 2: I don't know that.
- 36:04Speaker 4: I don't know that anything, if you're getting anything that's
- 36:06Speaker 4: going to be dug out official, you're getting a, for
- 36:08Speaker 4: less than less than 90.
- 36:10Speaker 2: The Peter Millar.
- 36:11Speaker 3: Stuff is a, is crazy now too.
- 36:13Speaker 2: By the way, just check the old Amazon. The champion hoodie,
- 36:17Speaker 2: the classic pullover fleece hoodie, $ 30. That's not the reverse weave, though. Oh,
- 36:24Speaker 2: but that's not 30 for a champion hoodie. Even a
- 36:26Speaker 2: zip up hoodie is like maybe 40 at the most. Okay.
- 36:30Speaker 2: And then Hanes, you can get like some midweight fleecy.
- 36:34Speaker 2: I like the champion 20 bucks. I do like the champion.
- 36:37Speaker 3: It's high quality.
- 36:38Speaker 2: I do too.
- 36:38Speaker 3: There's definitely like an authentic, you know, you got a.
- 36:41Speaker 4: Nice little uncle bill vibe to you when you walk,
- 36:43Speaker 4: rock that little small little C logo right there on
- 36:45Speaker 4: the side.
- 36:46Speaker 1: Yes.
- 36:46Speaker 3: I mean, there's definitely a little bit of fanatics, Ruben,
- 36:49Speaker 3: Nike gouge up there, but it is what it is.
- 36:51Speaker 2: I understand. If you got a ball at one of
- 36:54Speaker 2: the games, that would be in your top five. If
- 36:56Speaker 2: you caught a beer can during the parade.
- 36:58Speaker 3: Yes.
- 36:59Speaker 2: I mean, there was a girl that got interviewed. She
- 37:03Speaker 2: had like a giant knot on her forehead because she
- 37:06Speaker 2: got hit by the can that someone threw off of the.
- 37:09Speaker 2: the parade for the bus.
- 37:10Speaker 3: That's kind of a cool, that's kind of a cool entry.
- 37:11Speaker 2: It's like, oh yeah, well that's, you know, did you
- 37:13Speaker 2: get to keep the can or you got the souvenir
- 37:16Speaker 2: of a not a hold on to that thing? There's
- 37:18Speaker 2: no way I'm letting anybody touch that can at that point.
- 37:21Speaker 4: Pause.
- 37:21Speaker 3: Brewers video team doing great work again today with that
- 37:24Speaker 3: slow motion of the Miller light can flying through the
- 37:26Speaker 3: air at the parade. Check it out on Twitter. They
- 37:28Speaker 3: just put masterpieces of art together. They are so, so good.
- 37:32Speaker 3: There's going to be a lot of time for them
- 37:34Speaker 3: to put them together too. Like there's going to be
- 37:36Speaker 3: a crazy amount of those still shots. to be able
- 37:40Speaker 3: to cycle through.
- 37:41Speaker 2: There would be one.
- 37:43Speaker 4: My little guy back in April had a ball thrown
- 37:47Speaker 4: to him from Mizorowski during one of the batting practice days.
- 37:51Speaker 4: That would be one to be able to hold on to.
- 37:53Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of folks, though, that are
- 37:54Speaker 4: trying to grab every one of the... The 47 brand's
- 37:57Speaker 4: throwing a lot of different hats out here now for
- 37:59Speaker 4: the World Series champ. And I like that hitch kind
- 38:02Speaker 4: of design. which is kind of a crown. It's a
- 38:06Speaker 4: great day. A lot of great hats.
- 38:07Speaker 3: Billy, the one you got is really good. People are
- 38:09Speaker 3: going to be continuing to try and enjoy it. And
- 38:12Speaker 3: that's one way to enjoy it is to buy all
- 38:14Speaker 3: the gear.
- 38:15Speaker 2: Buy the newspapers. That's the one. That's the other one. Newspapers.
- 38:18Speaker 3: Those are hard to find now. So you can order
- 38:20Speaker 3: them right online there, like special editions.
- 38:23Speaker 2: Am I right?
- 38:23Speaker 4: Todd Rosiak put out a piece today with everything and
- 38:29Speaker 4: all of the listing of either frame, not frame, prints, uh,
- 38:33Speaker 4: second printed stuff, fun, great resource to know exactly where
- 38:37Speaker 4: you wanted to go because drew, I did have that moment. And, uh,
- 38:40Speaker 4: I don't know if you'd be proud or laugh, but
- 38:42Speaker 4: my wife goes, Hey, where do we get a paper nowadays?
- 38:45Speaker 4: And I'm like, it's real.
- 38:46Speaker 3: It's reality.
- 38:47Speaker 4: Dang, yeah, there's not one down the road. There's not
- 38:49Speaker 4: the paper box that I would go to generally. And
- 38:52Speaker 4: three different gas stations that I went to were sold
- 38:54Speaker 4: out of those. Weren't sold out of lottery tickets, so
- 38:56Speaker 4: I was able to get the scratchers, but I wasn't
- 39:00Speaker 4: able to get the paper that I was looking for.
- 39:01Speaker 3: The cold water in my face, Drew, the next day
- 39:03Speaker 3: when we were talking about it, and you noted the
- 39:05Speaker 3: fact that it wouldn't be in the paper.
- 39:06Speaker 2: That's a good call. Not the next day. People went
- 39:08Speaker 2: out looking the next day, and I was like, no,
- 39:10Speaker 2: that gets printed in Peoria, and it won't be here
- 39:12Speaker 2: until the day after.
- 39:14Speaker 3: Imagine telling a young Ladger Olsen that the Brewers would
- 39:16Speaker 3: one day win the World Series and it wouldn't be
- 39:18Speaker 3: in the paper of record the next day. I know.
- 39:20Speaker 2: Rough, man. I know. Rough.
- 39:23Speaker 3: Okay, so let's get a couple in here. Stephen Metz
- 39:25Speaker 3: on YouTube. Yesterday's news tomorrow, right? Yeah.
- 39:27Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 39:28Speaker 3: Steve Metz has Pat Murphy in there. Does he count?
- 39:31Speaker 3: He's not an athlete, but.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Well, I did say athlete, not coaches, but. Okay. You
- 39:34Speaker 2: can throw Murphy in there. Contreras. As a figure.
- 39:36Speaker 3: Contreras, Turing, Miz, Ashby. So he's going all burrs there.
- 39:40Speaker 3: Let's see here. David Pratt. What about Pratt? Bad at
- 39:45Speaker 3: 350 with seven RBI. Ashby's dominance. Probably the honorable mention
- 39:47Speaker 3: outside the top five. That's how special this Brewers team is,
- 39:50Speaker 3: this Brewers run is, is there are so many, so
- 39:52Speaker 3: many guys.
- 39:53Speaker 4: Well, in Pratt, I mean, maybe he should be more
- 39:56Speaker 4: involved just because of the contract that he signed.
- 39:59Speaker 2: That's the other part of this.
- 40:00Speaker 4: Like some of them, some guys you don't necessarily want to,
- 40:04Speaker 4: like Bryce Terang should be higher up there. I think
- 40:08Speaker 4: there's some folks around the stage, Drew and definitely Brewers fans,
- 40:11Speaker 4: maybe a little more guarded with their love of Bryce Terang,
- 40:13Speaker 4: knowing this could be a short-term love. My man is
- 40:17Speaker 4: now pricing himself completely out of all range. So maybe
- 40:21Speaker 4: there's a little bit of hold it back where Cooper Pratt,
- 40:24Speaker 4: you already know you buy that 12 Jersey this year.
- 40:27Speaker 4: You're going to be able to rock that at American
- 40:29Speaker 4: family field for the next half decade, even longer.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Well, and that's a big thing for a lot of
- 40:33Speaker 3: people that are going to drop money on Jersey. You
- 40:35Speaker 3: want to know that won't go obsolete. I used to
- 40:37Speaker 3: buy blanks for that very reason, because a lot of times,
- 40:40Speaker 3: You never knew what brewer was going to be on
- 40:41Speaker 3: the team every which year. And you said, Billy, once
- 40:44Speaker 3: or twice, and it's very true. You've got to have
- 40:47Speaker 3: that kind of hallmark guy that's going to be able
- 40:50Speaker 3: to sell jerseys, be there on opening day every year.
- 40:55Speaker 3: For years it's been Yellich, and now the brewers have
- 40:56Speaker 3: a few of them, which is pretty nice. The Churrio,
- 41:00Speaker 3: the Prats that have signed their deals, it's a pretty
- 41:03Speaker 3: nice thing.
- 41:03Speaker 2: Did we have any Brewers sightings in the wild today
- 41:06Speaker 2: after Yelich's trip to Raising Cane's yesterday? Might be the
- 41:09Speaker 2: first day I didn't see one. Might be the first
- 41:10Speaker 2: day we haven't seen one, but the day is still young. Yeah,
- 41:15Speaker 2: I was going to say it is young. It is Tuesday,
- 41:17Speaker 2: so I would assume maybe there's not. This would be
- 41:19Speaker 2: a nice little brunch day that they'd probably be out for.
- 41:21Speaker 2: And now that we're to Tuesday and we're coming up
- 41:23Speaker 2: on one week, have the crowd slow down at Dick's,
- 41:27Speaker 2: the team store, at Rally House, the places that sell.
- 41:31Speaker 2: I got to think so.
- 41:34Speaker 4: I would think I would, I would hope so just
- 41:37Speaker 4: for the folks that are working there, maybe that they
- 41:38Speaker 4: get a little bit of a reprieve, but I also
- 41:40Speaker 4: wonder if now it's, well, let's slow it down here.
- 41:45Speaker 2: Let's let them restock. And then people are now just
- 41:48Speaker 2: penciling it in on all their little wishlists for, uh,
- 41:50Speaker 2: for the holiday season, because that's the one thing, uh,
- 41:53Speaker 2: once you reach a certain age, mom asks you, what
- 41:56Speaker 2: do you want this year? I don't know. New socks.
- 41:59Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 41:59Speaker 2: Now everybody's lists are all made for them. Well, I
- 42:02Speaker 2: got 14 different pieces that I'd definitely send you over.
- 42:05Speaker 2: I got links if you'd want them, too.
- 42:07Speaker 4: I think people might be stashing them a little bit here,
- 42:09Speaker 4: being close to the holiday season.
- 42:11Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Any of your favorite players? Jersey with the
- 42:13Speaker 2: World Series patch. Yeah, this is definitely the year where
- 42:16Speaker 2: it's going to be pretty money.
- 42:17Speaker 4: And which one do you like better, the World Series
- 42:18Speaker 4: patch of them playing or the World Series championship one?
- 42:23Speaker 4: That's a tough decision right there. I've been going through
- 42:25Speaker 4: that with the hat. Hopefully DHK just puts both of
- 42:28Speaker 4: them on there. That would be pretty nice. Oh, I
- 42:31Speaker 4: can imagine the way they do the patches.
- 42:33Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's like, do you want the National League
- 42:37Speaker 3: champion stuff? It should start to be on sale. I
- 42:39Speaker 3: always thought that was funny in 96 when everyone had
- 42:42Speaker 3: the NFC champion stuff. I'm like, well, wait, you don't
- 42:43Speaker 3: think they're going to win the Super Bowl? What's up
- 42:45Speaker 3: with that? So that should be another good one. Yeah,
- 42:48Speaker 3: I didn't see any Brewers in the wild sightings. The
- 42:50Speaker 3: closest thing I found was This Twitter account house tracker
- 42:54Speaker 3: that I follow that claims Christian Yelich listed as Malibu
- 42:57Speaker 3: mansion and that he's going to, you know, be moving
- 43:01Speaker 3: to his family to Wisconsin. I'm not really sure if
- 43:03Speaker 3: that last part is true, but He has a house
- 43:07Speaker 3: in Arizona, too.
- 43:07Speaker 2: He has a big house in Arizona. Yeah, so I
- 43:09Speaker 2: don't think anything. Is that the one that you sent me?
- 43:11Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 43:11Speaker 4: That was listed for $ 30 million?
- 43:13Speaker 2: Yeah, $ 30 million.
- 43:15Speaker 3: If you're on water in Malibu like that, Billy, I
- 43:17Speaker 3: would imagine that that's what.
- 43:18Speaker 2: Well, that's one of the craziest complexes I've seen.
- 43:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 43:22Speaker 4: I don't know who has the $ 30 million to drop
- 43:25Speaker 4: on an estate, but that was exactly what I thought
- 43:29Speaker 4: a $ 30 million house would look like.
- 43:31Speaker 3: Yeah, he paid, listen, I don't know how much this
- 43:34Speaker 3: is accurate, but paid 5.5 for the lot, 5,300 square feet,
- 43:39Speaker 3: four bedrooms. It was built. Every bedroom has a little refrigerator.
- 43:42Speaker 3: Only four bedrooms? Well, yeah, you know, six bathrooms. What's
- 43:45Speaker 3: up with that?
- 43:46Speaker 2: Well, you don't want somebody doing that where you're.
- 43:48Speaker 3: Going to take a shower.
- 43:49Speaker 2: Oh, I guess so, yeah.
- 43:49Speaker 1: That's true.
- 43:49Speaker 2: Probably not. You got your own.
- 43:51Speaker 3: That's a guest bathroom. This tweet also claims he's moving
- 43:54Speaker 3: his family to Wisconsin. We don't know that. I mean,
- 43:56Speaker 3: he's going to have a place here.
- 43:57Speaker 2: Maybe he's buying Giannis' house.
- 43:58Speaker 3: Now, that would make sense, except I don't hold on
- 44:01Speaker 3: to that because the Heat are 2-5.
- 44:03Speaker 2: The Heat are 2-5 now. That's true. You're not wrong.
- 44:07Speaker 2: All right. We're having some fun on this Tuesday. A
- 44:10Speaker 2: little ranked choice voting for you, or as we used
- 44:13Speaker 2: to call it, Top 5 Tuesday. Having some fun. Matt
- 44:17Speaker 2: Miller is going to join us after 4 o'clock today.
- 44:20Speaker 2: A man about film. Be good to catch up with Matt,
- 44:22Speaker 2: the ultimate Brewers fan. And we will catch up with
- 44:26Speaker 2: him later. About a lot of things. It's going to
- 44:27Speaker 2: be beautiful. Including movies and stuff like that. I wonder
- 44:30Speaker 2: how many movies they're going to make about this year. Exactly.
- 44:32Speaker 3: That's what I was thinking of.
- 44:33Speaker 2: Definitely.
- 44:33Speaker 3: Asking them, yeah.
- 44:34Speaker 2: Buckle up. You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
