0:05
Speaker 2: armand Sarion. We're here at headquarters bringing it to you
0:07

Speaker 2: out to our five o'clock club members. We roll forward
0:16
Speaker 2: and welcome everybody who joins us at six am. If
0:19
Speaker 2: the alarm hits at that juncture, Welcome aboard, Welcome aboard,
0:23
Speaker 2: especially to everybody who stayed up until the end of
0:26
Speaker 2: the Brewers game, which was not quite as long last evening,
0:28
Speaker 2: nor was it as satisfying as the Brewers succumb to
0:33
Speaker 2: the Oakland slash Sacramento slash Las Vegas Athletics. It's hote Humpday.
0:39
Speaker 2: We're gonna fire those up eight seven seven, seven ninety
0:42
Speaker 2: four one ninety seven three. And as long as we're
0:44
Speaker 2: talking about last night's proceedings, here's a hot take the
0:48
Speaker 2: Oakland Athletics slash Vegas Athletics slash Sacramento. Wherever they are,
0:52
Speaker 2: the nomadic Athletics. Their uniforms are understatedly cool.
0:57
Speaker 1: Oh Drew very true, very very true.
1:00
Speaker 2: It's a different green than the Packers, but the colorway
1:03
Speaker 2: and the look I've always liked the going back to
1:07
Speaker 2: when they were that the white cleats back in the day,
1:09
Speaker 2: and that was their kind of signature move and they
1:12
Speaker 2: had all the different combinations of jerseys. They were the
1:15
Speaker 2: first to do alternates, right. They were the baseball version
1:17
Speaker 2: of Oregon. Yeah, they were. Charlie Finley and I bringing.
1:23
Speaker 2: I haven't had much occasion to watch the Athletics in
1:25
Speaker 2: recent years and nobody did, and seeing them in this
1:28
Speaker 2: this little series, it makes me think those are pretty
1:32
Speaker 2: kick ass.
1:32
Speaker 1: They remain pretty cool in classic Well and Drew.
1:35
Speaker 3: If it wasn't for the classic and the look, I
1:38
Speaker 3: would say you have to blow up the brand once
1:41
Speaker 3: you move to Las Vegas. But the Athletics is such
1:44
Speaker 3: an iconic brand in that a cap is one that
1:47
Speaker 3: a lot of people already. I'm not gonna say that
1:49
Speaker 3: it's more famous than the Yankee had, Like Jay Z said,
1:52
Speaker 3: I can make it. Yankee have more famous than a
1:53
Speaker 3: Yankee can. But it is one of the more iconic
1:58
Speaker 3: looks for sure. There's no I don't think think you
2:00
Speaker 3: can touch it like that would be one if it's
2:02
Speaker 3: a hot take, that would be the one of no,
2:04
Speaker 3: we're just adopting it, and you guys now have a
2:06
Speaker 3: legit home here.
2:07
Speaker 1: We're not gonna give you any funky spades.
2:09
Speaker 4: Number here that we're gonna give you for a new look,
2:11
Speaker 4: It's always been one of the cleanest looks in baseball.
2:13
Speaker 4: I totally agree. I love the gothic A. I love
2:16
Speaker 4: the color scheme. It was always you know, it's one
2:19
Speaker 4: of the few hats I had that aren't the Brewers,
2:21
Speaker 4: But I do have an A's hat. I just have
2:23
Speaker 4: always loved it. It's yeah, it's similar to the Packers look.
2:25
Speaker 4: But the brilliance of the A's logo is that the
2:30
Speaker 4: letter on the hat is not the city, right, it's
2:32
Speaker 4: the team. And it's such a generic name that it's
2:35
Speaker 4: followed them from four markets, right Philadelphia, A's, Kansas City
2:39
Speaker 4: obviously Oakland now onto their next stop.
2:43
Speaker 1: So I would totally agree. I wouldn't change it.
2:45
Speaker 4: I don't think the Vegas franchise will when they have
2:48
Speaker 4: the Vegas A's, if we assume they're gonna be the
2:50
Speaker 4: same the Vegas A's. Honestly, I would just think about
2:54
Speaker 4: maybe changing the color scheme up to doing that black
2:57
Speaker 4: and gold thing and make it kind of uniform like
2:58
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh does with all their teams. Don't know if they
3:01
Speaker 4: want to do that. Obviously, the Raiders sort of had
3:04
Speaker 4: their own identity as it is, so maybe you could
3:06
Speaker 4: do that, but you know, it does differentiate a bit.
3:08
Speaker 4: But other than that, I would just yeah, I wouldn't
3:11
Speaker 4: change it either. That's one of the best looks in
3:13
Speaker 4: all sports. They're gonna change the color scheme, then I
3:15
Speaker 4: blow it up.
3:16
Speaker 1: Right like it. You wouldn't do just black and gold.
3:18
Speaker 3: No, No, I wouldn't just do that because but you know,
3:22
Speaker 3: then there's the part of if you're in the Las
3:24
Speaker 3: Vegas area, do you want to make it a little
3:26
Speaker 3: bit more on your own Because we talked about the
3:28
Speaker 3: Vegas Golden Knights dropping Game four the Stanley Cup Final
3:31
Speaker 3: drew like that is Vegas's team, Like every the locals
3:34
Speaker 3: are like, this is our team, the Raiders. We're glad
3:37
Speaker 3: they're here and we're gonna start supporting him. Maybe if
3:39
Speaker 3: they actually start winning a couple of games more than
3:41
Speaker 3: four a year, but that's their team and it's not
3:45
Speaker 3: necessarily the ballpark that gets taken over by visiting fans.
3:48
Speaker 3: The A's are definitely gonna be that right on that
3:50
Speaker 3: trop site.
3:51
Speaker 2: I gotta assume the A's uniform is just part of
3:54
Speaker 2: my flashback this week because thanks to our pal el
3:57
Speaker 2: Hefe who posted the other day the first day, John Greenberg,
4:01
Speaker 2: president of the UGAM, that was so cool. Former media
4:03
Speaker 2: relations director of your Milwaukee Brewers. He posted, and I've
4:08
Speaker 2: kind of forgotten about this. Well, I'll never forget it,
4:10
Speaker 2: but it made it jog the memory. He said, I
4:12
Speaker 2: remember being in Las Vegas for Brewers games in nineteen
4:14
Speaker 2: ninety nine. We were scheduled to play a pair of
4:16
Speaker 2: games there to end spring training before hitting to Saint
4:18
Speaker 2: Louis to start the regular season.
4:20
Speaker 1: The guys were excited to be there. It was going
4:21
Speaker 1: to be a unique experience.
4:22
Speaker 2: It was going to be a great way to finish
4:24
Speaker 2: a long spring season and get ready to start the
4:26
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two game regular season journey.
4:28
Speaker 1: There was only one problem.
4:30
Speaker 2: Mother Nature decided she didn't want to watch baseball in
4:33
Speaker 2: Vegas that weekend. It rained and rained and rained. Basically,
4:37
Speaker 2: it was a cow and a flat rock for the
4:39
Speaker 2: harder court reference and both games were washed out, but
4:43
Speaker 2: not early enough to go back to Arizona and play games,
4:45
Speaker 2: and we weren't about to head to Saint Louis and
4:47
Speaker 2: sit around. It was time to enjoy Vegas. Needless to say,
4:51
Speaker 2: everyone took full advantage. I think there were some what
4:54
Speaker 2: happens Vegas stays in Vegas moments, and as I recall,
4:56
Speaker 2: the flight to Saint Louis was really sleepy, as many
4:59
Speaker 2: flights from Vegas have been known to be, leaving the
5:02
Speaker 2: details out to protect the reputations of many forecast looks
5:05
Speaker 2: better for this week.
5:06
Speaker 1: Hopefully the birds will continue their winning ways. Go Brewers.
5:09
Speaker 2: So I was on that trip and I can uh,
5:12
Speaker 2: there are some stuff that happened on that trip that
5:14
Speaker 2: was quite memorable.
5:15
Speaker 1: Now he didn't name names. Will you name names?
5:18
Speaker 2: Well I did reply, and I said, like I do
5:21
Speaker 2: remember it was one of the thrills of that was
5:23
Speaker 2: watching Matt Fascersion lose his meal money in thirty seconds
5:26
Speaker 2: at the crap table.
5:27
Speaker 1: That's the name you can name. You can name Maddie
5:29
Speaker 1: Be anytime you know Maddy Be number seven.
5:32
Speaker 2: And we may have supported the We may have supported
5:35
Speaker 2: the arts a couple of nights in that nice yes
5:37
Speaker 2: that you're in juncture and we had some Oh we
5:40
Speaker 2: had some big fun.
5:41
Speaker 1: Dance classes are really big out there. Yeah. Really, you
5:45
Speaker 1: know when you're what do they say when you're on Broadway?
5:47
Speaker 1: You gotta see a show. So that's the same same idea.
5:49
Speaker 1: Well in Vegas and uh I ran into some friends.
5:51
Speaker 2: Uh it was like we randomly ran into some friends
5:53
Speaker 2: who were there for a bachelor party. Arman called back
5:56
Speaker 2: to last week's South So it was like cheesehead sent
6:00
Speaker 2: and for some reason there was a contingent of Admiral's
6:04
Speaker 2: personnel in town at that juncture as well, So it
6:06
Speaker 2: was like the planets lined and it was a great time, memorable,
6:11
Speaker 2: forgettable weekend. But you're at the end of spring training.
6:13
Speaker 2: You're so fried. Hardcourt and I were like we called
6:16
Speaker 2: it the sweatshop when you had to do all the
6:17
Speaker 2: copy or you've been working NonStop or.
6:20
Speaker 1: Six or seven weeks, that's a different beast.
6:22
Speaker 2: Yes, spring training, as fun as it is to go
6:24
Speaker 2: out in Arizona, those mornings are early, right, you're in
6:27
Speaker 2: the manager office eight am, yep, and you're there until
6:31
Speaker 2: like five.
6:31
Speaker 1: Well it's a normal date.
6:33
Speaker 2: Well yeah, but it's also a lot of work and
6:35
Speaker 2: a lot of grinding, and then you go home and
6:36
Speaker 2: have to work on special stories and special section stories.
6:40
Speaker 2: So yeah, you get pretty crispy by the end of
6:42
Speaker 2: spring training and the season gives you a little jolt.
6:44
Speaker 2: But we were looking forward to that Vegas strip and
6:46
Speaker 2: it ended up not being at all relaxing or refreshing.
6:49
Speaker 3: It made you more fried as we started the season.
6:52
Speaker 3: Vacation from the vacation after that that is so good.
6:55
Speaker 3: We made I made that drive up with the franchise
6:57
Speaker 3: one time after spring train after our bring training work
7:00
Speaker 3: was done, and flew out of Vegas after like two
7:03
Speaker 3: or three days. But when that's a week, you're like, okay, man,
7:07
Speaker 3: there's a those are some longer days than anything. When
7:09
Speaker 3: that's a month and a half, yeah, that is a
7:12
Speaker 3: that's a grind that after week three you've written all
7:15
Speaker 3: the stories about how sweet the ball sounds going into
7:17
Speaker 3: this guy Smid or how cool this one minor leaguer is.
7:20
Speaker 3: The the digging and the standing and waiting for something
7:23
Speaker 3: to materialize. That'll that'll bring some mundane times there at
7:27
Speaker 3: spring training.
7:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, good now. That was also young Maddy V.
7:32
Speaker 4: Which not that he's not any fun in as far
7:34
Speaker 4: but he was a different he from his own words
7:36
Speaker 4: to me, he was a different beast at that age,
7:38
Speaker 4: just a care free time. And he said that was
7:40
Speaker 4: his favorite time in his career when he's doing the
7:42
Speaker 4: Brewers game.
7:43
Speaker 1: So did he do any Santa Maria? When he didn't
7:45
Speaker 1: hit the point on the on the table?
7:46
Speaker 2: He not, but we great and then we ran into
7:50
Speaker 2: one of his college buddies and then went to a
7:52
Speaker 2: new level and shout out to his friend Ed CHOI.
7:54
Speaker 1: We had quite an experience with Ed who Ed was.
7:58
Speaker 2: A dude who was in the financial world, went these
8:00
Speaker 2: grinders that did like seventy hour weeks, but then he
8:02
Speaker 2: would go to Vegas and absolutely blow it out seventy
8:05
Speaker 2: hour week and we got to go along in the
8:07
Speaker 2: ride with his town cars and h C.

Speaker 2: not for the general public or the unwashed.
12:31
Speaker 1: They have They had a spot.
12:33
Speaker 2: Where you could sit in a in a private area
12:36
Speaker 2: and have drinks and food and snacks and watch the
12:38
Speaker 2: players walk to from the locker room to the court
12:41
Speaker 2: right and that was kind of for the people who
12:43
Speaker 2: are in the David Gruber seats, the really first three
12:45
Speaker 2: rows or so right yeats. And then that wasn't good enough,
12:48
Speaker 2: so they tore down the media dining room. Screw the media,
12:51
Speaker 2: the Downwalker media dining room. We got a more exclusive
12:55

13:09
Speaker 2: everything you can possibly imagine it the reality of sports
13:12
Speaker 2: and who Okay, so front row amy might be presented
13:16
Speaker 2: with a situation like, Okay, these prices for these for
13:18
Speaker 2: your location are going to go up. Do you want
13:20
Speaker 2: to stay or not? This happens every time the packers
13:23
Speaker 2: raise prices or ask for whatever the or to keep
13:28
Speaker 2: your deal. It happens. It's part of doing business in sports.
13:31
Speaker 2: They're upgrading, they're trying to maximize revenues. They're trying to
13:34
Speaker 2: do that too so that they can then pay players.
13:36
Speaker 1: And it's keep up with the Joneses.
13:39
Speaker 2: So I I just don't first, and not for nothing,
13:42
Speaker 2: the people in the first six rows are not the
13:45
Speaker 2: normal fans very readily. People in the four hundred level
13:49
Speaker 2: that go on the two for one Tuesday and take
13:51
Speaker 2: advantage of the kids club deal.
13:53
Speaker 1: They yes, they're not normal fan point. That's the whole point.
13:56
Speaker 2: Most of those people, I'm guessing are going to say, oh, okay,
14:00
Speaker 2: I'm in.
14:00
Speaker 1: I get to go to this extra area. I'm gonna
14:02
Speaker 1: pay a little figure it out.
14:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, already paying a lot for those seats, more than
14:05
Speaker 2: they you know, they're not going on tickpck hoping that hey,
14:08
Speaker 2: if I wait till ten minutes after the first pitch,
14:10
Speaker 2: I can get them, I.
14:10
Speaker 3: Can get them for cheaper. Yes, you're right, it's a
14:12
Speaker 3: different universe already. So who are they squeezing?
14:17
Speaker 2: And if the Bucks were to say, okay, well we're
14:19
Speaker 2: gonna open a really exclusive club, and some of the
14:23
Speaker 2: people that are buying seats in the first three rows
14:26
Speaker 2: get squeezed out, give give me a small violin to
14:29
Speaker 2: play for them.
14:30
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It's the cost of doing It happens all
14:32
Speaker 1: the time.
14:32
Speaker 3: It happens. It happens all the time. It's one of
14:34
Speaker 3: the reasons you mentioned the badgers down at the Coal Center.
14:37
Speaker 3: They also in the court side area the first like
14:39
Speaker 3: three or four rows. They got some sweet tables like
14:42
Speaker 3: set up that folks sit at like. So there's always
14:45
Speaker 3: going to be a different class and in different exclusivity.
14:48
Speaker 2: Have you traveled on a plane lately you walk by
14:50
Speaker 2: first class to get to your seat in the cattle section.
14:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, where you definitely need to be able to add
14:55
Speaker 3: in ways to get in increased revenue while also feeling
14:58
Speaker 3: like people are in a special spot because These are
15:01
Speaker 3: status events as much as it is going and cheering
15:03
Speaker 3: on your team. You're sitting in the first six rows.
15:06
Speaker 3: You're posting pictures online for a reason, right Like you're
15:08
Speaker 3: hoping to be able to get yourself more screen time.
15:10
Speaker 3: You're taking it when people when you get screen time
15:12
Speaker 3: and people are calling you thanks to the magic HD
15:15
Speaker 3: and stuff. I've told the story before my buddy Guido
15:17
Speaker 3: the door man, who I don't know if he'll keep
15:19
Speaker 3: his seats or not. I wish I should ask Guido
15:20
Speaker 3: if he's what he plans to do, but it'd be
15:23
Speaker 3: perfect the games that I sat next to him, my
15:24
Speaker 3: phone would blow up to the point where I just
15:26
Speaker 3: turn it off because like, hey, how's that beer taste?
15:28
Speaker 4: Hey?
15:28
Speaker 1: Soe you eating peanuts?
15:30
Speaker 4: And as much as people want, you know, to avoid
15:32
Speaker 4: this issue, the reality is in society there are people
15:35
Speaker 4: and a lot of people that want and will pay
15:38
Speaker 4: for any sort of exclusive VIP access to make them
15:41
Speaker 4: course either more comfortable away from the quote unquote masses
15:45
Speaker 4: or to make themselves feel good.
15:47
Speaker 1: Just have fun.
15:48
Speaker 3: Like I mean, that's another part of it, Like if
15:49
Speaker 3: this is your disposable income, if it's an individual person.
15:53
Speaker 1: Right like I also think like I got.
15:54
Speaker 3: I've gotten blessed a couple of times in the last
15:56
Speaker 3: couple of years to sit in that first row in
15:58
Speaker 3: one night because a buddy of mine at work want
16:02
Speaker 3: a raffle because their company has the four.
16:05
Speaker 1: Seats they're not being used.
16:06
Speaker 3: Sweet, We're gonna raffle them off to the employees, and
16:08
Speaker 3: then you get an opportunity to go and experience what
16:10
Speaker 3: it is.
16:11
Speaker 1: I still think that part is gonna be there.
16:13
Speaker 3: It's gonna be even bigger business, I would assume for
16:16
Speaker 3: business holders. And there's still plenty of sweet spots. Right
16:21
Speaker 3: behind the dugout. That's an awesome that's an awesome seat,
16:24
Speaker 3: that's a great spot to be. There's first row down
16:26
Speaker 3: the line that will probably be the exact same way
16:28
Speaker 3: where you can see the guys warm up and be
16:30
Speaker 3: very very close, and those are probably better tick pick spots.
16:33
Speaker 3: But if I have the money and I have the
16:36
Speaker 3: opportunity to sweet, I get dinner valet, and I still
16:40
Speaker 3: get my sweet seat, and I gotta go pay for
16:43
Speaker 3: what ultimately ends up probably being an extra eighty dollars
16:46
Speaker 3: ninety dollars. So what those seats probably are on a day,
16:49
Speaker 3: you know, on the full season or the half season package. Drew,
16:52
Speaker 3: I think you can very much justify it where you're right.
16:56
Speaker 1: I love the I love the.
16:59
Speaker 2: Package they did during the holiday season. You get four
17:02
Speaker 2: packet tickets in the lower level, like sweet lower level.
17:05
Speaker 2: Those are those are great seats.
17:06
Speaker 3: Those are exactly where I'll be sitting right a lot
17:08
Speaker 3: better than four twenty five. So there's a common fan
17:12
Speaker 3: to fans being first. I just can't make the balance
17:16
Speaker 3: of it because they're adding an exclusive club that I
17:19
Speaker 3: think if I went across Major League Baseball stadiums, what
17:23
Speaker 3: twenty seven of the thirty already have them.
17:26
Speaker 4: Everyone's got something like this the Bucks do. And the
17:28
Speaker 4: point is everyone has a chance to do this if
17:30
Speaker 4: you want to pay the money. It's like they're they're picking.
17:32
Speaker 4: You just got to pull my numbers tonight, That's what
17:35
Speaker 4: That's the thing. They don't care about the common fan.
17:38
Speaker 2: And again, people who's already sit in the first six rows,
17:41
Speaker 2: you're not really the common fan fan. That's why I
17:43
Speaker 2: can you're the upper crust, you're the you're the one
17:46
Speaker 2: percenters already, so now we're gonna have the you know,
17:48
Speaker 2: the one percent of the one percent.
17:49
Speaker 1: But it's such a low hanging fruit to say that,
17:51
Speaker 1: you know these seats.
17:52
Speaker 2: Now, Okay, so it's first world problems, but look at
17:55
Speaker 2: like the Knicks and celebrity row right and Ben Stiller's
17:58
Speaker 2: calling out other people because they're not in their eats
18:00
Speaker 2: by the start of the second half.
18:01
Speaker 1: They they're in there.
18:02
Speaker 2: They're in there, they're rubbing elbows, and you know, they're
18:05
Speaker 2: the people who like the hedge fund people and stuff.
18:08
Speaker 2: Are are they want to hang out and get a
18:10
Speaker 2: sneaky picture of shallow may and and Kylie for their
18:13
Speaker 2: Instagram and stuff, say look where I am, and they're not.
18:16
Speaker 2: You know, they're not back out for the game. Like
18:17
Speaker 2: what Challamey and uh and Benzilla are hardos. Benzilla said,
18:21
Speaker 2: a lot of those fans are casuals. Like he's kind
18:23
Speaker 2: of he's calling out his fellow celebrity.
18:25
Speaker 3: Calling out the fellow celebrities, saying the beatings will continue until.
18:29
Speaker 2: Morale improves exactly. But I just I don't get the
18:33
Speaker 2: ire of this. They're not squeezing out the average fan. No,
18:38
Speaker 2: this is already yeah, they're yeah, they're not squeezing out
18:41
Speaker 2: people in the terrace reserve.
18:42
Speaker 1: They're not sneezing out people even further down the lines.
18:45
Speaker 2: They're it's for the first six rows from dug out
18:48
Speaker 2: to dugout and those are already the upper crust. They're
18:51
Speaker 2: getting more money. It's like, I guess I'm a big text.
18:54
Speaker 1: The rich guy, right. The corporations and rich people little more.
18:58
Speaker 2: They shouldn't have loophole, and that's what's happening with the Brewers.
19:02
Speaker 1: Go where the money is to get more money.
19:04
Speaker 3: If there would be one that they weren't thinking of
19:06
Speaker 3: the normal fan, that was when they took away the
19:09
Speaker 3: goodwill section for ten dollars bleachers tickets instead of twenty
19:13
Speaker 3: to make the sweet Miller Park landing. I've seen a
19:15
Speaker 3: lot of people hitting that Miller Light landing a lot
19:17
Speaker 3: of different times and getting beers.
19:18
Speaker 1: And staying out and hanging out.
19:20
Speaker 2: And I've had this reaction when the Packers have raised
19:22
Speaker 2: tickets in the past, especially like after a losing season
19:24
Speaker 2: or they miss the playoffs and still raise prices. Well,
19:27
Speaker 2: that ticket prices are not tied to performance, and when
19:30
Speaker 2: teams sign a free agent, it's not a justification to
19:32
Speaker 2: raise ticket prices. Ticket prices go they based on what
19:35
Speaker 2: they can charge. And the thing is, I've said it
19:37
Speaker 2: for twenty years Packers tickets that the Packers sell to
19:40
Speaker 2: their fans, and I'm gonna fend some people with this.
19:42
Speaker 2: They're underpriced because the fact that you people who flip
19:46
Speaker 2: them and you can get into a Packers game any
19:48
Speaker 2: game you want, paying double face value tells me that
19:51
Speaker 2: the Packers could be charging double face value and still
19:53
Speaker 2: be getting those tickets. And it is kind of silly
19:56
Speaker 2: that they're losing the revenue on their own tickets.
19:58
Speaker 4: Now.
19:59
Speaker 2: I don't want them to do anything sketch like Live
20:01
Speaker 2: Nation and Ticketmaster do yeh where they totally put tickets
20:03
Speaker 2: on sale for a concert and within ten minutes you
20:06
Speaker 2: can buy verified resale tickets for twice the face value.
20:09
Speaker 2: That sucks, and that's illegal and it shouldn't happen. But
20:11
Speaker 2: what teams do and what the Brewers are doing, I
20:13
Speaker 2: don't have a problem with this, and it's not an
20:15
Speaker 2: insult to the common fan because to me, the common
20:17
Speaker 2: fan doesn't sit in the first six rows. They don't,
20:19
Speaker 2: and this is also a difference. This is also a
20:22
Speaker 2: little bit different. They they would have done the six
20:25
Speaker 2: rows if they would have done what a lot of
20:27
Speaker 2: teams are doing after twenty five years of a sweet
20:29
Speaker 2: ballpark that was helped publicly funded.
20:32
Speaker 1: They tear that some bitch down.
20:35
Speaker 3: They would have put Sweet six row bleacher exclusive clubs
20:39
Speaker 3: and the three hundred feet walk in for all the
20:42
Speaker 3: free food and all the free.
20:43
Speaker 2: Drinks you can have, And they're not guys, and they're
20:45
Speaker 2: not squeezing out the common fan. In fact, the common
20:47
Speaker 2: fan could still come and bring their own peanuts and
20:49
Speaker 2: spaghetti dinners.
20:50
Speaker 1: Yes, into the wall.
20:52
Speaker 3: You got you got messed up if I knew I
20:54
Speaker 3: was sitting in front row and I still didn't bring
20:56
Speaker 3: that bag of twizzlers exactly.
20:57
Speaker 1: Come on, I'm getting that thing in a resealable bit.
21:00
Speaker 2: You can react to our takes hot take comp days
21:02
Speaker 2: upon us. You are in the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
21:05
Speaker 2: Dolph is next Wilson, Billy Schmid armand sorry, and we're
21:11
Speaker 2: huddled up on a Wednesday in the good Land, and
21:13
Speaker 2: we're joined by our halftime correspondent, Scott Dolphin from the
21:15
Speaker 2: country station down the hall f M one oh six
21:17
Speaker 2: here in Milwaukee. And Dolph is a five o'clock club,
21:21
Speaker 2: member of his own club. He's in his own like league.
21:25
Speaker 2: But Dolph, you're you're an honorary member of our five
21:28
Speaker 2: o'clock club in the huddle. I'm honored because we see
21:30
Speaker 2: you here and you turn on the the coffee pop
21:32
Speaker 2: for arm And and Billy.
21:33
Speaker 5: Just yeah, good, that's true. I don't beat Armand by
21:35
Speaker 5: much in the door in the morning. You're here pretty early.
21:37
Speaker 1: Now you beat me. But but maybe you're you're working.
21:43
Speaker 5: I'm walking fair, I'm walking, so I'm working my body physically.
21:46
Speaker 5: I roll in about three forty five, only uh business,
21:50
Speaker 5: Karen is in the building before I am.
21:51
Speaker 1: I think she rolls in and like she's the earl.
21:55
Speaker 4: But I always know if you're here because the coffee
21:57
Speaker 4: is going. That's what Drew said, and it's true, and
21:59
Speaker 4: I'm excited for that.
22:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the first thing I do. I gotta say.
22:01
Speaker 1: I got a problem with both of you guys. Okay,
22:03
Speaker 1: roll up.
22:05
Speaker 3: It was about a week and a half ago, Drew,
22:06
Speaker 3: maybe maybe not two weeks ago, that we had a
22:08
Speaker 3: sweet time during our halftime report where you guys were
22:10
Speaker 3: talking about this insanely cool cake that was sitting in
22:14
Speaker 3: the in the fridge, wondering who was going to dive
22:17
Speaker 3: into it?
22:17
Speaker 1: Who was going to dive into it?
22:18
Speaker 3: So either of you guys taking a bite because that
22:20
Speaker 3: thing I just opened, it is still in there and untouched. Well,
22:24
Speaker 3: you guys were sweating as though who was going to
22:26
Speaker 3: slice into the cake, and neither of you did it.
22:28
Speaker 1: I actually did. I took a sliver. There's a legit
22:31
Speaker 1: slice out of that thing.
22:32
Speaker 4: Now.
22:32
Speaker 5: I took a sliver that was there was already a sliver,
22:35
Speaker 5: which I assume was Chris from the sales department.
22:37
Speaker 1: It was her birthday.
22:38
Speaker 3: So like the champagne glass when they do the when
22:41
Speaker 3: people are doing the gender reveal, they just went and
22:43
Speaker 3: like took a little bit of it.
22:44
Speaker 1: Off on the back. Sure.
22:45
Speaker 5: So Friday, which was five days, the fifth day that
22:48
Speaker 5: it was in there, and on the fifth day, I
22:50
Speaker 5: took a sliver and it was it was good.
22:53
Speaker 1: It was still good. When does cake expire? A great question.
22:59
Speaker 4: That's the reason Bill, I haven't because we've gotten kind
23:01
Speaker 4: of to that point where I'm like, well, at this point,
23:03
Speaker 4: it's getting kind of.
23:03
Speaker 1: Old because you were way too bashful about it. Yeah,
23:06
Speaker 1: I hight it up the day after.
23:08
Speaker 4: I'd rather be wrong doing that than being the guy
23:11
Speaker 4: that cut into someone's cake when it was probably gonna
23:14
Speaker 4: be it was.
23:14
Speaker 1: Already cut into it. I didn't know at the time.
23:17
Speaker 1: What was it a legit free for all cake? Was it?
23:19
Speaker 4: You know?
23:20
Speaker 1: You know, was it up for grabs or was it.
23:22
Speaker 3: I've seen you look at that thing four times and
23:24
Speaker 3: you did not go and grab one thing.
23:26
Speaker 4: I know some of the buildings put it in the
23:28
Speaker 4: fridge because it's her kid's sixth birthday, and I'm knowing
23:30
Speaker 4: the ruined the birthday because I took a slice of cake.
23:32
Speaker 1: Well, I'll never get over that. I don't think the
23:34
Speaker 1: kid would.
23:34
Speaker 3: I don't think the kid would have gotten over it
23:36
Speaker 3: if dad had already taken a bite out of it
23:38
Speaker 3: before he got to the party.
23:39
Speaker 5: Anyway, I tried to find arm in that day. That
23:41
Speaker 5: was the day you were off. I said, I'm going in.
23:43
Speaker 5: You get to join me because I was off.
23:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was off Friday. I'm taking this thing. I'm
23:47
Speaker 1: finally going in. I just saw it again.
23:49
Speaker 3: I'm like, how on earth did neither of these cats
23:51
Speaker 3: go in there and just grab a big old slice
23:54
Speaker 3: that double truck.
23:54
Speaker 4: Maybe it's a lesson learned. Maybe it's a lesson learned
23:56
Speaker 4: that in the future we just think you've changed one.
23:59
Speaker 4: I what do you mean I changed because I don't
24:01
Speaker 4: need because what oh, since my Twitter CON's been hacked,
24:03
Speaker 4: I don't need cake?
24:04
Speaker 1: Is that what you're trying to say?
24:05
Speaker 3: No, I mean, this is the guy that wondered where
24:07
Speaker 3: all the donuts went from the staff meeting because you're
24:11
Speaker 3: gonna throw them things in the locker room.
24:13
Speaker 4: He was upset about that very I'd rather have a
24:16
Speaker 4: donut than a piece of cake.
24:17
Speaker 1: Though I don't know about you guys.
24:18
Speaker 2: A lot of people at weddings are doing donuts and
24:20
Speaker 2: donut towers instead of cakes.
24:22
Speaker 1: I'm in the donuts a lot more.
24:23
Speaker 5: Mike Young, our youngest, he never wanted a birthday cake.
24:26
Speaker 5: He always wanted a donut cake. So we'd go to
24:28
Speaker 5: Cosby Kream and build this giant stack pyramid.
24:31
Speaker 2: Of So that's what I got right here, was from
24:33
Speaker 2: the mother in law's birthday. That was that was donut
24:35
Speaker 2: cakes instead. As they say in the clubhouse, if you
24:38
Speaker 2: want to hit the sinker, you got to eat the yes.
24:41
Speaker 3: But I still got an hour and a half before
24:42
Speaker 3: I can hit the sinker. So I got a whole
24:44
Speaker 3: lot a little bit.
24:46
Speaker 4: O happy birthday in my That's pretty cool, all right, Yeah,
24:48
Speaker 4: but I don't know For me, it's like you go
24:50
Speaker 4: down the line.
24:50
Speaker 1: Of your preferred desserts.
24:52
Speaker 4: Cake is nice, but I'm not usually seeking it out
24:54
Speaker 4: a piece of cake if I can have a donor
24:56
Speaker 4: a cookie.
24:57
Speaker 1: Now. Hunter, on the other hand, is a big cake guy.
24:59
Speaker 1: I think he's the games. It's gluten free.
25:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. It's gonna be the right one, but
25:03
Speaker 4: the right one he enjoys a piece of cake.
25:05
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've always been a pie guy. I love it.
25:07
Speaker 5: I'm a I'm a savory, salty guy more than i'm
25:10
Speaker 5: a sweet guy.
25:11
Speaker 1: But I always like pie at the holidays. Pie It's
25:13
Speaker 1: another good one because you can put the ice cream
25:15
Speaker 1: on it if you want. You know, that's true. This
25:17
Speaker 1: is true, all right.
25:18
Speaker 2: So Dolphin Hot Tech Compte the first hot take out
25:20
Speaker 2: of the Shootsince the Brewers are playing the A's and
25:22
Speaker 2: it's reminded me that I like the A's uniforms. I
25:25
Speaker 2: think those are like top five for me. They're they're
25:27
Speaker 2: so crisp and classy, and the colors, it just hits
25:30
Speaker 2: in it. I guess in my mind, I go back
25:31
Speaker 2: to how it depends on how old you are. You
25:33
Speaker 2: either go back to Conseko maguire and Ricky Henderson, or
25:37
Speaker 2: you might go back to like Joe Ruddy and Bill Campaneris,
25:40
Speaker 2: and so.
25:40
Speaker 1: I go back that far Drew and you might I
25:43
Speaker 1: don't know, but so kind of remember those teams.
25:45
Speaker 5: I was obsessed with those teams in the seventies. I
25:48
Speaker 5: was just becoming, you know, realizing what was going on
25:51
Speaker 5: in the baseball field and all those Bert Campaneros and
25:54
Speaker 5: Joe Rudy and Calbandunner and Sal Bando, those teams.
25:58
Speaker 1: And it was the uniforms. That's what I love.
26:00
Speaker 5: The yellow socks, the yellow and green with the white,
26:03
Speaker 5: the swinging a's.
26:04
Speaker 1: Man, those guys so much. Rolly Rah Raley guy, our guy.
26:08
Speaker 2: KB always talks about the All Star Game in Milwaukee,
26:12
Speaker 2: Like the seventy seven seventy five wasn't seventy seventy five
26:15
Speaker 2: seventy five County Stadium it was, And then the NBA
26:18
Speaker 2: All Star Game was Milwaukee. Imagine that All Star games
26:19
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee when.
26:21
Speaker 1: They should try that again.
26:22
Speaker 2: There were like five a's in that game and they
26:25
Speaker 2: all had different uniform combinations on.
26:27
Speaker 1: I love this because they could do it.
26:29
Speaker 2: They would wear, you know, whether it was the green
26:31
Speaker 2: or the yellow and the pants and that was they
26:33
Speaker 2: had them.
26:33
Speaker 1: They mix it up.
26:34
Speaker 2: They were the Oregon Ducks, like you're right, Billy, they
26:36
Speaker 2: were the Oregon Ducks before.
26:37
Speaker 5: The Oregon Ducks. And I'll always remember that. I don't
26:39
Speaker 5: know which World Series was because I think they went
26:41
Speaker 5: three years in a row. But Gene Tennis was the catcher,
26:45
Speaker 5: and I think he hit three home runs in one
26:47
Speaker 5: game or I think he had five in the World Series.
26:49
Speaker 5: I don't know if he ever did anything after that.
26:50
Speaker 5: I know he kicked around the league for a while,
26:52
Speaker 5: but I'll always remember that team.
26:53
Speaker 2: And Reggie Jackson was on the team, and that was
26:55
Speaker 2: the team that was like, you know, twenty five players,
26:57
Speaker 2: twenty five cabs. They said they didn't get along. They
26:59
Speaker 2: fought the clubhouse. Charlie Finley was their owner, deepest guy ever,
27:03
Speaker 2: and they wore the They had the white cleats, and
27:05
Speaker 2: then when they won, and they repeated on the pennant,
27:08
Speaker 2: they would put like a pair of white cleats to
27:10
Speaker 2: note that it was their second time. That was their
27:12
Speaker 2: They didn't have a three people, but they had like
27:13
Speaker 2: the cleats and it was cool.
27:15
Speaker 4: There's the vibe they understood on a market in those things.
27:17
Speaker 4: In those days for those things. Gene tennis and four
27:19
Speaker 4: homers are the seventy two world tiers against the that's so.
27:23
Speaker 2: Were we mentioned our buddy Matt vas Kershen and his
27:26
Speaker 2: adventure in the nineteen ninety nine trip to Vegas that
27:29
Speaker 2: the Brewers took at the end of spring training that
27:30
Speaker 2: got rained out. And Maddy comes from the Bay Area
27:32
Speaker 2: and it is a huge longtime A's fans and he
27:35
Speaker 2: loves those teams like he grew up like rooting for
27:37
Speaker 2: those teams.
27:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's amazing.
27:40
Speaker 5: Seven years in the Bay Area and there is a
27:42
Speaker 5: distinct difference obviously between those two cities, but between those
27:47
Speaker 5: two fan bases as well. And I really feel for
27:49
Speaker 5: the city of Oakland and the East Bay. And it's
27:51
Speaker 5: not just the city of Oakland. Those A's fans came
27:54
Speaker 5: from all over the Bay Area as well. But they
27:56
Speaker 5: lost the A's. They lost the Raiders twice. The Warriors
27:59
Speaker 5: are gone there, and God forbid they go anyway. They
28:02
Speaker 5: go to San Francisco, of all places, seven months across.
28:04
Speaker 5: Weren't in the Oakland Coliseum anymore. No, And and you know,
28:07
Speaker 5: I don't know the Sharks might have even had a
28:08
Speaker 5: Cup of coffee in that arena for a while. I
28:10
Speaker 5: know they played at the cow Palace for a while,
28:11
Speaker 5: but you feel bad for Oakland because they've lost everything
28:14
Speaker 5: s post related.
28:15
Speaker 2: Totally, and they had, you know, and that great players
28:17
Speaker 2: and players who were from there played for them.
28:19
Speaker 5: And it was a much better place to watch a
28:21
Speaker 5: baseball game in those days because Candlestick Park was not
28:24
Speaker 5: only a dump, but it was freezing freaking cold. I
28:26
Speaker 5: remember my wife and I sitting there in our winter
28:29
Speaker 5: coats watching a game on the fourth of July because
28:31
Speaker 5: they had fireworks after.
28:32
Speaker 1: It was awful.
28:33
Speaker 5: I mean, they're playing the Phillies, hot Dog Rappers are
28:35
Speaker 5: flying a thousand miles an hour all over the place.
28:38
Speaker 1: It was the worst place to watch a.
28:39
Speaker 2: Baseball And we went to that place too before they
28:41
Speaker 2: opened the new one, which is nice but very chilly.
28:44
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, and the A's that was usually sunny and
28:47
Speaker 5: I was cool, but it was a little bit off
28:49
Speaker 5: the base.
28:49
Speaker 1: You didn't have the brutal wins.
28:51
Speaker 3: I still just I think of the Oakland Coliseum and
28:53
Speaker 3: all I can think of is the fans, the fans there, No, no, sorry,
28:58
Speaker 3: I don't think of Brad Pitt and Jonahill. I think
29:00
Speaker 3: just of that beautiful section of folks, just faces painted
29:04
Speaker 3: down in the hell. Yeah, the Raiders just knowing they
29:07
Speaker 3: were giving folks the absolute business. Silver and Black weren't
29:10
Speaker 3: on the field, but the fans were making that thing
29:12
Speaker 3: a hell spot to play it.
29:13
Speaker 5: They were kind of one of the first ones to
29:15
Speaker 5: do that, right along with probably the Hogs and the
29:18
Speaker 5: Dog Pound.
29:18
Speaker 1: And it was so big out there.
29:20
Speaker 5: Billy, that crazy George, which is one of the leaders
29:23
Speaker 5: of that section, opened his own restaurant in Santa Cruz,
29:26
Speaker 5: a few miles south of San Francisco. It's amazing, was
29:28
Speaker 5: wildly popular, and he'd come in and bang on his
29:30
Speaker 5: drum with his wild hair.
29:31
Speaker 3: See, and that's what Fireman at I think wants to
29:33
Speaker 3: be with the Jets, but just the theirs was always
29:36
Speaker 3: so much better in raids.
29:37
Speaker 1: And so there was wild Bill with the on the
29:39
Speaker 1: rooftop of the Orioles. Oh yeah, that guy was wide.
29:42
Speaker 2: And we talked in the past about Robin Ficker, the
29:44
Speaker 2: super fan behind the Wizards, the visiting bench at what
29:48
Speaker 2: the old Bullets games, but now the Wizards, which leads
29:50
Speaker 2: us into this, what's going to happen now with front Rowan,
29:52
Speaker 2: we've been talking about themselves. I feel for Amy because
29:57
Speaker 2: she's one that's put out. But the general take on
29:59
Speaker 2: this DOLF is like the Brewers don't care about the
30:01
Speaker 2: common fan.
30:02
Speaker 1: The common fan doesn't sit in the first six rows.
30:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the Brewers will tell you that they were
30:06
Speaker 5: only one of two Major League teams without this special
30:09
Speaker 5: VIP club behind at home.
30:10
Speaker 1: Play, you know.
30:11
Speaker 2: And I'm bracing for the news and when when I'm
30:14
Speaker 2: so used to be haven't been at that ballpark since
30:15
Speaker 2: it opened, Like where the press box is, they're moving
30:18
Speaker 2: us out of there. They're going to make that into
30:19
Speaker 2: a VIP area, and like they're gonna they're gonna move
30:22
Speaker 2: us down the line somewhere. It'll be down to that
30:25
Speaker 2: area and in the right field that the rebuilding used
30:28
Speaker 2: to be. No, No, I mean in right field where
30:30
Speaker 2: there used to be like the Gael Club and there's
30:32
Speaker 2: an area there like the right field club level, right yeah, yep, okay,
30:36
Speaker 2: And that's kind of where we're going to end up
30:37
Speaker 2: because behind home plate is prime real estate and that
30:41
Speaker 2: will end up being a place for hobnobbers, or it'll
30:43
Speaker 2: be a cocktail area, it'll be something. And then it'll
30:45
Speaker 2: be something they can use for events that, you know,
30:48
Speaker 2: not during off season events. I know it's coming. It's inevitable,
30:52
Speaker 2: and that's why to me, that was my take on
30:53
Speaker 2: it is.
30:54
Speaker 1: These aren't.
30:54
Speaker 2: It's not the common fan that's getting squeezed. Cause you're
30:57
Speaker 2: in the first six rows with season tickets. You're showing
30:59
Speaker 2: out a lot of money. Yeah, and a lot of
31:01
Speaker 2: them are corporate.
31:02
Speaker 5: Amy's kind of a unique situation though she does one
31:04
Speaker 5: season ticket, right, firefighter.
31:07
Speaker 2: I believe her husband doesn't care that much baseball. It's
31:09
Speaker 2: her passion and she drives down from Oshkosh for the games.
31:12
Speaker 5: And I'm telling you that there's been nights in my
31:14
Speaker 5: friends group before texting. This is two nights in a rold.
31:17
Speaker 5: Where's Amy? What's going on? She's not there. We always
31:20
Speaker 5: looks and.
31:21
Speaker 1: She sells some of them. Now that's just what it is.
31:23
Speaker 5: Okay, that's It's kind of like the Marlins guy during
31:26
Speaker 5: the playoffs. Okay, he's not here. What's going on? Where's
31:28
Speaker 5: Marlin's guy? I have a friend who knows that guy. Yeah,
31:32
Speaker 5: text him a lot and stuff.
31:33
Speaker 3: So we had him on the post game show one
31:35
Speaker 3: time during the twenty eighteen lcs. You want to talk
31:37
Speaker 3: about somebody that believed he was playing in the game, Oh.
31:39
Speaker 1: Big time, my man, believe he was on the field.
31:42
Speaker 1: That was and that was a trip. Amy's a special case.
31:46
Speaker 2: And yeah, okay, she might not be able to afford
31:48
Speaker 2: the upgraded amenities and seats that they're going to ask,
31:50
Speaker 2: but they'll move her to it.
31:51
Speaker 1: They'll take care of her in some way. I hope so.
31:53
Speaker 2: And but again it's like I'm not my heart's not
31:55
Speaker 2: bleeding for people who pay, you know, who are squeezed
31:58
Speaker 2: out of their first six You're you're already the upper crust.
32:02
Speaker 2: You also not the common fan who's getting squeezed here.
32:05
Speaker 2: It's the upper crust.
32:05
Speaker 1: Tax the rich.
32:06
Speaker 3: Maybe it's maybe it's mean, maybe it's cruel, but like
32:09
Speaker 3: I always think about it with this job, right, like
32:11
Speaker 3: these chairs and this is all rented.
32:13
Speaker 1: Right, like we're here and they will be going on long.
32:15
Speaker 3: After now, gotten to sit in that chair for twenty
32:18
Speaker 3: five years, right or twenty years at some particular point.
32:21
Speaker 1: Times do change.
32:22
Speaker 3: And if you have to go to row ten, my goodness,
32:25
Speaker 3: you might even see the mis fastball or the slider
32:28
Speaker 3: move a little bit different, like it's it's a tough one,
32:30
Speaker 3: I guess, but I really struggled to be broken up
32:34
Speaker 3: and broken hearted for this.
32:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, I left the newspaper early twenty some years ago,
32:39
Speaker 2: and they still publish.
32:40
Speaker 1: They still published, right, it's still rented. They still published though.
32:43
Speaker 1: I picked it up the other day of the broadsheet.
32:45
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
32:46
Speaker 2: It was like mostly it was like it looked like
32:47
Speaker 2: a shopper. It looked like a weekly.
32:50
Speaker 1: It was like the trailer in there.
32:53
Speaker 2: And I picked up like the Monday paper and it
32:55
Speaker 2: had Saturday night's game story in it.
32:57
Speaker 1: Just like like why would anybody?
33:00
Speaker 2: I just got to be so when they used to
33:02
Speaker 2: use a dictaphone, why didn't Well, even then you would
33:05
Speaker 2: get fresher news, Like why would anybody pay for a
33:07
Speaker 2: pressure a newspaper and Milwaukee newspaper that's printed in Peoria
33:10
Speaker 2: and trucked up to.
33:11
Speaker 1: Milwaukee, especially when you're doing Especially when I.
33:12
Speaker 2: Have to pay extra to have the paper version and
33:15
Speaker 2: the online copy of Wait a second, I gotta get
33:17
Speaker 2: two different ones.
33:18
Speaker 4: Just a sad state of our newspapers. Not to go
33:20
Speaker 4: too much on diet try, but when I was there
33:23
Speaker 4: a couple when I was younger, there wasn't going to
33:25
Speaker 4: keep much to keep me from subscribing.
33:26
Speaker 1: When I was older, like I was like excited to
33:28
Speaker 1: get old.
33:29
Speaker 4: One day and like have my own spot and say,
33:31
Speaker 4: I'll git the paper every day and there's no point
33:33
Speaker 4: in getting it out.
33:34
Speaker 1: There's there's ink in my blood.
33:36
Speaker 2: And I don't subscribe to the exactly I can get
33:39
Speaker 2: pressure news in the New York Times or USA today,
33:41
Speaker 2: then I can in the lot.
33:42
Speaker 1: I got it forever, both emaciated too.
33:44
Speaker 5: I got the paper thrown on my ports forever and
33:45
Speaker 5: ever every day, and then it went to Sunday and
33:47
Speaker 5: then you know many like when I think that when
33:49
Speaker 5: the landline left my house, I think that's when the
33:51
Speaker 5: newspased walked to the newspaper box with my quarters on
33:54
Speaker 5: fifty first and Edgarton and get my paper only when
33:56
Speaker 5: the Brewers won.
33:57
Speaker 1: I didn't want any bad news.
33:58
Speaker 4: And and you know now it's just like it just said,
34:01
Speaker 4: and it's like if you were gonna go, do you
34:03
Speaker 4: walk uphill to that newspaper stand every day to the
34:05
Speaker 4: way back?
34:07
Speaker 3: Okay, go uphill when you trap holes in your shoes too.
34:11
Speaker 5: You get so excited every day because you had to
34:13
Speaker 5: have reading material when you're flying, so you grab the
34:16
Speaker 5: Journal Sentinel, you grab a USA Today.
34:18
Speaker 1: Well, I would get the one that everyone had left
34:20
Speaker 1: in the airport. That's what I was.
34:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, Arman's going right into that recycling bin. Dolfh that's
34:24
Speaker 3: horrible that he was going to Hudson News to get that.
34:26
Speaker 3: There's no such thing as that used paper. It's just
34:28
Speaker 3: as good as someone else bought it. I'll just oh,
34:31
Speaker 3: you know what, someone else.
34:32
Speaker 1: I'll borrow this. I'll pick that thing up.
34:33
Speaker 4: You know. Yeah, there was every now and then, and
34:35
Speaker 4: it's just even if you were to get it now,
34:37
Speaker 4: like you said, Drew, it's it's either old or it's not.
34:39
Speaker 1: There's nothing there like you know, I don't know you've
34:42
Speaker 1: read it. I say, it's yesterday's news tomorrow. Yes, that's why.
34:46
Speaker 3: Luckily the best kind of written, actual print hold thing
34:49
Speaker 3: just came out a week ago.
34:50
Speaker 4: Phil Steele's College Football Guys, you go, Bill ye come
34:53
Speaker 4: on thinking of getting something like that. I was gonna
34:55
Speaker 4: get Street and Smith's right. They sled some magazines. It's
34:58
Speaker 4: like twelve bucks were like, that's the everything.
35:00
Speaker 1: They're expensive.
35:01
Speaker 5: You should show up just for kicks at your fantasy
35:03
Speaker 5: football league with a stack.
35:05
Speaker 1: Of the latest sporting news one. I'll tell you what.
35:08
Speaker 1: I had an idea for a while.
35:09
Speaker 4: First got to print out a Twitter feed, and you
35:11
Speaker 4: know and like these personalities read tweets going through it.
35:14
Speaker 1: Well, it's print out your tweets here about your cryptos. Yeah, hacked.
35:21
Speaker 1: Amer continues, Well, they haven't tweeted him, I mean four
35:23
Speaker 1: days now.
35:24
Speaker 2: But he is getting smart though. Now he's just reposting
35:26
Speaker 2: Brewers content. He's voting for Brice terrank for the All
35:29
Speaker 2: Star Games. So we got that one.
35:30
Speaker 1: Really creepy. He's going extra level of Trent in.
35:33
Speaker 2: Person grants on that brand new house. That is a sweet,
35:36
Speaker 2: sweet fire. We had to guess the country as Arman's hacker,
35:40
Speaker 2: and you think, great question.
35:42
Speaker 5: I think it'd be just a beautiful thing. If it
35:45
Speaker 5: was Armenia, Oh too rich.
35:48
Speaker 1: I would be got to hit that sell again. I can't.
35:50
Speaker 1: I'm not topping that.
35:51
Speaker 3: I was going to say somewhere in Nebraska would even
35:54
Speaker 3: It's way too good.
35:55
Speaker 4: I think Russia, but it would get me social. I'm like,
35:58
Speaker 4: come on, you're doing me brother like this, You're doing
36:00
Speaker 4: a brother. You're gonna You're gonna hack an Armenian guy.
36:03
Speaker 4: You're gonna do a brother.
36:04
Speaker 1: That's what drew me into your account.
36:05
Speaker 5: Do you remember the commercial where the big guy was
36:08
Speaker 5: being somebody's stealing his identity and he called and the
36:10
Speaker 5: guy said, this is Peggy, the big guy with the beards.
36:14
Speaker 1: The classic commercial.
36:16
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it all right. Uh, doll,
36:18
Speaker 2: thank you for popping in. Always appreciate your halftime thoughts.
36:21
Speaker 2: We're having some fun here on the huddles. Hot Take
36:23
Speaker 2: hump Day. Get us your hot takes eight seven seven
36:24
Speaker 2: seven nine four one ninety seven three. We are broadcasting
36:28
Speaker 2: live nine twenty Milwaukee, ten seventy Madison. It's Fox Sports
36:31
Speaker 2: Radio Wisconsin.
36:35
Speaker 1: Wednesday.
36:35
Speaker 2: Drew Billy and Arman eight seven seven seven nine four
36:38
Speaker 2: one ninety seven three. He send us your hot takes.
36:40
Speaker 2: Hot Take hump Day, And we got one from Derek
36:41
Speaker 2: from Whitewater. Our conversation about the brewers and uh their
36:44
Speaker 2: renovation of the first six rose creating a VIP area
36:47
Speaker 2: for VIPs, a VIP within the VIP if you will.
36:51
Speaker 2: Derek said, the common fan was able to sit there
36:53
Speaker 2: once in a while. Now they won't be Uh, they
36:56
Speaker 2: won't be able to. It's a regressive tax, not a tax.
36:58
Speaker 2: The rich situation. Well, Derek, no, those are season seats.
37:01
Speaker 2: You can't just walk up to the window and buy
37:03
Speaker 2: those tickets.
37:03
Speaker 1: You can buy the secondary which you can.
37:05
Speaker 2: Still which which is you'll still be able to in theory,
37:08
Speaker 2: it's gonna be more. But so if a common fan
37:10
Speaker 2: could buy those seats on the secondary market, go to
37:13
Speaker 2: a pack when's the last time anybody went to a
37:15
Speaker 2: Packers game and like got some, Like they might release
37:18
Speaker 2: some because the Cardinals aren't using their allotments, so their
37:20
Speaker 2: tickets available. But buying the idea of getting into a
37:22
Speaker 2: Packers game at face value, if you're not a season
37:24
Speaker 2: ticket older, it's a dream.
37:26
Speaker 1: You can't. Yeah, you possible. No, you have to wait,
37:29
Speaker 1: you have to dream.
37:29
Speaker 2: You have to scout out, take pick and run through
37:32
Speaker 2: your numbers and look through and try to find uh
37:35
Speaker 2: the exact deal.
37:36
Speaker 3: It's always gonna be a little different. It's always going
37:38
Speaker 3: to be a tough spot to be able to get
37:40
Speaker 3: yourself into. But I just I love the fact that
37:43
Speaker 3: we're now worried about our neighbor though.
37:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point, you No, I think that's good.
37:48
Speaker 1: That's Aesus spot.
37:49
Speaker 2: We do care about our brethren here because it's uh,
37:52
Speaker 2: go at the go at the company got unless your
37:54
Speaker 2: arm I mean he he has not been a fan
37:57
Speaker 2: of of miss Amy Williams for a while.
38:00
Speaker 1: Not impersonal against her. I just don't know why.
38:02
Speaker 3: I believe I've heard you call her on this radio
38:04
Speaker 3: show Milwaukee's most famous ticket broker.
38:07
Speaker 1: I believe is how I've heard you address her.
38:10
Speaker 4: A couple of different She lifts the tickets every year,
38:12
Speaker 4: what she's selling and things like that. If you want
38:14
Speaker 4: to sit in my seats, I get it. It's you
38:16
