- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, we're off to a rock and start on Tuesday
- 0:02Speaker 1: of All Star week.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Let's ride, let's do it. You know what.
- 0:09Speaker 1: I've heard the opening montage of this program a time
- 0:11Speaker 1: or two.
- 0:11Speaker 3: Heard it a couple of times. We're gonna go comforting.
- 0:15Speaker 1: It's our queue to kind of fully wake ourselves and to.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Join the damn five o'clock club. That's you can't start
- 0:23Speaker 2: dancing at the club. We go o'clock.
- 0:26Speaker 4: We're off to a rock and star. We're alive with you,
- 0:28Speaker 4: We're with you. Come on now, we're working, we're streaming.
- 0:31Speaker 4: But I understand, Uh, it is a creature comfort when
- 0:34Speaker 4: you're in there to hear what you're used to.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Yeah, Drew billion, armon billion, I heard silence, and then
- 0:40Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we're like looking at the clock,
- 0:42Speaker 1: going the show start too?
- 0:44Speaker 2: Did we already fire up anything? But it's but I
- 0:47Speaker 2: think you go there? Are we good? I don't think
- 0:49Speaker 2: it's I think we're on.
- 0:50Speaker 4: I don't think anybody's goldn't hear anything differently at home
- 0:54Speaker 4: or in there.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Well, let's check in with us five o'clock clubbers. They
- 0:57Speaker 1: know the drill eight seven seven seven nine four.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Tinkerback here, listen if anybody hears it wrongly, it's okay
- 1:04Speaker 3: that it's us like we have. As you said with
- 1:07Speaker 3: the opening montage, We've heard ourselves ramble on a lot.
- 1:11Speaker 3: We've heard ourselves talk a lot. You know, as long
- 1:13Speaker 3: as you can hear us, that's the most important thing.
- 1:16Speaker 3: We somewhat will make sense to ourselves. But we just
- 1:19Speaker 3: want to make sure that it's blasting over the radio
- 1:21Speaker 3: waves and entertaining everybody here at five o three who
- 1:24Speaker 3: stayed up a little bit later than they planned to
- 1:26Speaker 3: watch that Netflix special last night.
- 1:28Speaker 4: Yeah, that was It did end late, but I couldn't
- 1:30Speaker 4: peel my eyes away, and that was part of the problem.
- 1:32Speaker 4: So maybe that's why the cobwebs are. Let me make
- 1:34Speaker 4: sure you guys are hearing everything though. Today Let's just
- 1:37Speaker 4: make sure you guys we're in the club. Are you
- 1:38Speaker 4: hearing this reasonable, Yeah, we're hearing that.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Yeah all right, well because.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Engineer bumps, Okay, yeah, so we did hear that.
- 1:50Speaker 2: But yes, you're in the garage here.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Wonderful night in Philadelphia. Now, I watched the open of
- 1:57Speaker 1: the broadcast. Tune in about I think right about seven o'clock.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Sure for the for the Michael Buffer event.
- 2:03Speaker 1: That was yeah, and the intros and it was shlock,
- 2:06Speaker 1: but there was shlock when ESPN did it too. And
- 2:08Speaker 1: then like I'm watching Barry Bonds on a panel kind
- 2:11Speaker 1: of scheves you out a little bit for me. And
- 2:14Speaker 1: then they're pinging around and what was Will Ferrell doing?
- 2:21Speaker 3: That was a strange entrance into the equation, but I
- 2:24Speaker 3: guess it's better than last year when they had McAfee
- 2:28Speaker 3: injuries to people to the stands. But like Will Ferrell
- 2:31Speaker 3: with EyeBlack next to Luke Wilson was one that I
- 2:34Speaker 3: did not anticipate, but I get again, probably should have
- 2:37Speaker 3: thought that I anticipated Drew that like Burt Kreischer, was
- 2:41Speaker 3: gonna be the one that introduced them to the crowd.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Now I didn't see the Michael Irvin part. I guess
- 2:46Speaker 3: I didn't tap in on that part of the broadcast
- 2:48Speaker 3: or deviate from it. But the opening and then after
- 2:53Speaker 3: who hits first? Will Wilson Contreras hits first? Then they
- 2:58Speaker 3: go back to the panel. The My wife was like,
- 3:00Speaker 3: I'm not in for this.
- 3:01Speaker 2: I can't.
- 3:02Speaker 3: I can't go back and hear what Barry Bonds thinks
- 3:04Speaker 3: of every single hitter. We're gonna have to expedite this
- 3:07Speaker 3: process if that's gonna be the case, because Netflix was
- 3:10Speaker 3: figuring it out last night. But the camera angles, some
- 3:13Speaker 3: of the some of the camera angles were very sweet.
- 3:16Speaker 4: A lot zoom in camera like it was zoomed in
- 3:18Speaker 4: from the picture's back, the mounds, back, close end of
- 3:21Speaker 4: the plate.
- 3:21Speaker 2: I thought that was a nice angle. I enjoyed that.
- 3:23Speaker 4: Yeah, because you didn't get too much pitching barrier what
- 3:26Speaker 4: wud they call that? Then the screen, you don't get
- 3:28Speaker 4: too much screen involved in there, but it didn't didn't
- 3:31Speaker 4: overpower the picture.
- 3:33Speaker 2: All right. So Will Ferrell's got something coming out on Netflix.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Obviously I was gonna say he's got him and Luke
- 3:39Speaker 3: Wilson have a movie coming out.
- 3:40Speaker 1: And then the guy from the what the YouTube got
- 3:43Speaker 1: Jimmy Life recording to Jimmy or whatever.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Okay, I did not know who he was.
- 3:47Speaker 4: I I.
- 3:49Speaker 2: It's like called the Hawk, I believe.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Okay. I thought maybe Adam Ray was gonna have something
- 3:54Speaker 3: to do. He's got a new show coming out on Netflix.
- 3:56Speaker 3: I mean, it is really just a big promotional shoot
- 4:01Speaker 3: for Netflix. Even the commercials, I don't even know how
- 4:03Speaker 3: many of them they sold off. They were just social.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Media reaction to Will Ferrell being involved wasn't great, and
- 4:08Speaker 1: I was like, let's go to Maddie. I'm waiting to
- 4:10Speaker 1: see my boy wait and hear best Gershion talk. And
- 4:13Speaker 1: you know, his role was he was the main host
- 4:17Speaker 1: and his role was limited, which is weird situation to
- 4:20Speaker 1: be in.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Well, and that was at least early.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Yeah, El Duncan definitely had more more of it early
- 4:25Speaker 3: and then obviously once once bedtime happens in the house
- 4:29Speaker 3: with two little ones, the sound kind of goes off.
- 4:31Speaker 3: You enjoy it otherly that way, but there was he
- 4:36Speaker 3: had a lot of time through Rizzo and him were
- 4:39Speaker 3: having a bunch of fun in the back it Hunter
- 4:41Speaker 3: Pence was eating the largest helmet ice cream I think
- 4:44Speaker 3: I've ever seen in my life when he busted that
- 4:46Speaker 3: helmet out, which was cool. Yeah, I thought it was
- 4:48Speaker 3: nachos apparently with strawberry sauce not salt, so that.
- 4:51Speaker 2: He was spraying on there.
- 4:52Speaker 3: So it was It was a clunky start, but then
- 4:56Speaker 3: you know, then the homers started happening in that big
- 4:59Speaker 3: twenty four year old for Saint Louis took over and
- 5:01Speaker 3: it was wild to watch.
- 5:03Speaker 4: I think it is, you know, at its form, it's
- 5:07Speaker 4: a home run contest, so eventually we saw what we
- 5:09Speaker 4: wanted to see. But before and after that, it's still
- 5:11Speaker 4: a novelty event at what's supposed to be a summer
- 5:14Speaker 4: camp style event, Like it's it's not supposed to be
- 5:17Speaker 4: that serious, so I don't ever expect to broadcast be
- 5:20Speaker 4: that serious. So I think sometimes people complain just to
- 5:22Speaker 4: complain that just the one out of place for me
- 5:24Speaker 4: seemed to be Barry Bonds.
- 5:25Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, I don't know if.
- 5:26Speaker 3: He's just see which is strange considering he's the best
- 5:30Speaker 3: of the because he's the best home run hitter of.
- 5:31Speaker 2: All time, he's got the most home runs of all time.
- 5:35Speaker 3: It is weird though, seeing him at the home run
- 5:37Speaker 3: derby when then they're talking about it like his home
- 5:39Speaker 3: run victory was like the most important accolade that he had.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think because you are.
- 5:45Speaker 4: You know, a lot of people will debate the legitimacy
- 5:47Speaker 4: of it in his career obviously that's never ending. But what
- 5:50Speaker 4: most people agree on is he wasn't terribly likable and
- 5:53Speaker 4: this is supposed to be like a summer party, and
- 5:55Speaker 4: he's the guy you wouldn't want to see at the party,
- 5:58Speaker 4: So maybe that's the problem. By the way, The Hawk
- 6:00Speaker 4: is a new Netflix comedy series starring Will Ferrell as
- 6:02Speaker 4: Lonnie the Hawk Hawkins, a legendary but washed up golfer
- 6:06Speaker 4: attempting a final comeback on the PGA Tour, much of
- 6:08Speaker 4: the chagrin of his family and rivals. The show, which
- 6:11Speaker 4: also stars Molly Shannon, Jimmy Tatro, and Luke Wilson, blends
- 6:15Speaker 4: sports at tyres all of them are on the show.
- 6:17Speaker 4: Ferrel signature humor, exploring themes of aging, redemption. Family Drop
- 6:20Speaker 4: Up premieres July sixteenth, which is in two days and
- 6:24Speaker 4: consists of ten episodes. Of course, it has to be
- 6:26Speaker 4: episodic because with the Netflix streaming days, everything has to
- 6:29Speaker 4: be episodes. Isn't that right, guys? Or we can ask
- 6:32Speaker 4: Matt Miller about this later on this week. Yeah, but Drew,
- 6:35Speaker 4: I think I've heard that. Is that because the way
- 6:39Speaker 4: the money works and this, it's got to be episodic.
- 6:42Speaker 2: Nothing can be like one thing anymore.
- 6:44Speaker 4: Netflix wants everything to be in at least three parts
- 6:47Speaker 4: or at least ten parts, so you keep getting new
- 6:49Speaker 4: clicks and it's like a whole thing.
- 6:50Speaker 2: So so there you go, comedy series. Well, they've listen,
- 6:54Speaker 2: they've cracked the code.
- 6:55Speaker 3: They've done it better than just about everybody for a
- 6:58Speaker 3: long time, since even they put red By out of
- 7:00Speaker 3: sale with the with the mail to movies. But when
- 7:03Speaker 3: Arman made the joke yesterday of like, at least it's
- 7:05Speaker 3: a streaming service that I have that I think everybody has,
- 7:08Speaker 3: it's the one that was on the remote. Yeah, yeah,
- 7:11Speaker 3: the one that's on the remote. So it is debite
- 7:13Speaker 3: the easiest one to flip to. Its a good point.
- 7:15Speaker 3: That made it a little bit easier. Drew on the
- 7:17Speaker 3: streaming situation.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Last night, but again it it just keeps you from flipping.
- 7:21Speaker 1: I guess that's what they want. And it was one
- 7:23Speaker 1: percent when they did Opening Night, and vast scursion was
- 7:28Speaker 1: involved in that. It was the Giants and Yankees, if
- 7:30Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken right, yes, yep, And it did Opening
- 7:33Speaker 1: Night and they got ripped for it because they were
- 7:35Speaker 1: trying to do new things. But it was basically like
- 7:37Speaker 1: seventy percent Netflix promos and thirty percent Baseball on Opening Night,
- 7:41Speaker 1: which Baseball fans like, what the hell is this the
- 7:44Speaker 1: hell escape that we're looking at?
- 7:45Speaker 3: Which we did, which we didn't even always get like
- 7:48Speaker 3: a lot for a long time. They just fired them
- 7:49Speaker 3: all up right away at eleven o'clock the next day,
- 7:53Speaker 3: and the opening night felt special and it felt hijacked,
- 7:55Speaker 3: no doubt.
- 7:56Speaker 1: I was hijacked by Netflix. So they toned that down.
- 7:58Speaker 1: But then they bring out Will Ferrell promote a movie
- 8:00Speaker 1: that no one knows what.
- 8:02Speaker 2: It also didn't what the hell is Will Ferrell doing here?
- 8:05Speaker 2: That was? What is that? Now?
- 8:07Speaker 3: If what they would have just read Arman read, If
- 8:10Speaker 3: if lu would have read that before Will Farrell walked on,
- 8:13Speaker 3: then they have understood why he was there wearing.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Gone Michael Buffer is I didn't know he was from Philadelphia.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Good on him, Okay, hometown guy, that makes sense, I guess.
- 8:21Speaker 1: And then uh, and then I like Bruce better. But
- 8:25Speaker 1: so the drama of the derby, though, ended up being good,
- 8:28Speaker 1: and they went back to the format without the clock,
- 8:30Speaker 1: and it's so much better without the clock. It's not
- 8:32Speaker 1: even close, give him twenty swings whatever, but less without
- 8:36Speaker 1: the clock. And the guys who paced themselves and it
- 8:38Speaker 1: took a breath and stuff, they were better. And guys
- 8:41Speaker 1: who kind of looked like they were rushing, they looked
- 8:43Speaker 1: like they were rushing and didn't do as well, and
- 8:44Speaker 1: it was like there was some strategy and it's it
- 8:46Speaker 1: was cool and got off to a rock and start.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Then you finish. You know, the kid from Saint.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Louis beating the hometown like the hometown guy would have
- 8:54Speaker 1: been the story Schwarler, but then it was. And then
- 8:57Speaker 1: his last ball to walk it off the way he did.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Last balls in the air and people are leaving for
- 9:01Speaker 1: the knowing that it's gone. We sucked, and Philly fans
- 9:05Speaker 1: showed up and they cheered for Harper and Swarburn booed
- 9:08Speaker 1: the hell out of everybody else, which was great.
- 9:10Speaker 3: It was so good the theater of the semi final
- 9:12Speaker 3: and Schwarber is trying to hold on against Contreras and
- 9:16Speaker 3: they're booing every single time he steps up, cheering when
- 9:19Speaker 3: the ball is clearly not going over, and then just
- 9:21Speaker 3: dead silent when it goes out there. That had to
- 9:24Speaker 3: be one of the coolest feelings for Wilson and Treres.
- 9:26Speaker 3: But you could tell he started rushing towards the end
- 9:28Speaker 3: and running out of gas is by far the best model.
- 9:32Speaker 3: I don't it's been so long since we remember the
- 9:35Speaker 3: ten outs but then Rizzo talked about when he was
- 9:37Speaker 3: one of the first guys during the clock. I guess
- 9:40Speaker 3: I didn't even realize how long the home run derby
- 9:43Speaker 3: clock's been going because once it came in, it became
- 9:46Speaker 3: difficult to watch, it became less and less interesting. And
- 9:50Speaker 3: now I think they went right back to it. And
- 9:53Speaker 3: maybe this is perfect for Netflix because I don't know,
- 9:58Speaker 3: just back to the beginning part. I I don't know
- 10:00Speaker 3: that they've fully figured out the sports thing, like they're
- 10:03Speaker 3: going to have to because next cycle they're going to
- 10:06Speaker 3: buy bigger into the NFL, right like they're this is
- 10:10Speaker 3: gonna break a lot of people's minds.
- 10:11Speaker 2: At some point, the super Bowl is gonna be on Netflix.
- 10:14Speaker 2: It's a reality. At some point, the.
- 10:16Speaker 3: Super Bowl is going to be on Netflix, or the
- 10:18Speaker 3: NFC and AFC title games presented by Turbottacks are going
- 10:21Speaker 3: to be on Netflix. Like they are going to grab
- 10:25Speaker 3: the biggest events because they have the biggest money and
- 10:28Speaker 3: they're gonna be able to put the local networks and
- 10:32Speaker 3: the main networks kind of under the table. Are completely
- 10:36Speaker 3: into bankruptcy if they throw all the money that they
- 10:38Speaker 3: have at it. So they got to get a little
- 10:40Speaker 3: better at the full presentation. But man, their camera angles
- 10:43Speaker 3: are good. At least they decide that they're just going
- 10:45Speaker 3: to hire some of the best people, and last night
- 10:48Speaker 3: they got a good one once they got out of
- 10:50Speaker 3: their own way and just let the sport actually just
- 10:52Speaker 3: take over.
- 10:53Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that was the key. I mean, once
- 10:54Speaker 4: the game's on, I think they know, all right, we're
- 10:56Speaker 4: just we know to put the game on and we
- 10:58Speaker 4: need to erit a our thing. When do we do
- 10:59Speaker 4: a round it? And that's kind of where they're massaging it.
- 11:02Speaker 4: But you know, maybe they feel this urged because they
- 11:05Speaker 4: paid it to promote what's on on their app, which
- 11:07Speaker 4: I get understandably so, and maybe that whole point with
- 11:10Speaker 4: Will Farreloell was supposed to be an ambush marketing thing
- 11:13Speaker 4: where you don't explain it so people look it up.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Maybe it's just a.
- 11:17Speaker 4: Point of where getting tired of wil Farrell in those roles,
- 11:20Speaker 4: Like we've seen his stick already for like thirty years
- 11:22Speaker 4: almost now, where Will Ferrell's done this kind of I
- 11:25Speaker 4: mean goof What was the first thing he was in
- 11:28Speaker 4: was Austin Powers, where he was playing a goofy character,
- 11:30Speaker 4: and then he started to become more popular in SNL,
- 11:33Speaker 4: So maybe that's it.
- 11:34Speaker 2: I'm not really I can't really put my.
- 11:36Speaker 4: Finger on it, unecessarily if we're just used to Will
- 11:39Speaker 4: Ferrell being this guy. But it's gonna be a little
- 11:42Speaker 4: unusual though, when these streaming services do totally take hold
- 11:46Speaker 4: of everything, because I mean, except for maybe, I don't know,
- 11:50Speaker 4: I guess Prime. You know, when it comes to NFL,
- 11:53Speaker 4: they do a pready standard thing and say all Michael's everything.
- 11:55Speaker 2: They do a really good job. They do a good job.
- 11:57Speaker 4: But it's like these apps are gonna try and just
- 12:00Speaker 4: they're gonna air the games, but they're gonna try and
- 12:02Speaker 4: do something great to promote whatever's on their product, because
- 12:05Speaker 4: this is their recruiting tool when they when they get
- 12:07Speaker 4: when they can get a live sporting event, this is
- 12:09Speaker 4: the recruiting tool for the rest of what they do
- 12:11Speaker 4: with This is their one one shot. So it will
- 12:14Speaker 4: be pretty interesting to see how that works moving forward.
- 12:16Speaker 4: But yeah, you're right, eventually it'll be on It'll be
- 12:18Speaker 4: on Netflix.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Yes, almost, it will be absolutely so. Jordan Walker and
- 12:23Speaker 1: I said it when the Brewers played the Cardinals, because
- 12:25Speaker 1: you just he's strikingly large and just go and then
- 12:28Speaker 1: he's really good, and he's really young, and you just
- 12:32Speaker 1: he's one of those dudes that you watch.
- 12:33Speaker 2: And he's like he's gonna be a problem. Yeah, and
- 12:36Speaker 2: he's gonna be a problem.
- 12:37Speaker 1: And that was his entree to the national stage last night,
- 12:40Speaker 1: and boy did he make advent take advantage of it.
- 12:43Speaker 1: And he wins a million bucks, which is two hundred
- 12:46Speaker 1: thousand more than his salary for the year, which.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Is what that isn't it?
- 12:50Speaker 3: Which is one of the new betting strategies of the
- 12:52Speaker 3: home run derby. You got to identify the guys that
- 12:55Speaker 3: the million bucks is gonna matter.
- 12:56Speaker 4: To that they're on their mid their rookie the scale,
- 12:59Speaker 4: their midion scales.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Shame on me for thinking Bryce Harper was going to
- 13:02Speaker 3: take that many swings last night to take that year.
- 13:04Speaker 3: He's a three hundred and thirty million dollars. Yeah, contract
- 13:06Speaker 3: this million bucks.
- 13:07Speaker 2: He might go light on fire on the lightning link
- 13:09Speaker 2: machine like that doesn't matter on fandle. He didn't. He
- 13:12Speaker 2: didn't necessarily go here. Jordan Walker needs the cash.
- 13:15Speaker 3: He's got Jordan's mom, dad, and grandma in the crowd
- 13:18Speaker 3: with the jerseys on he needed to put on because
- 13:21Speaker 3: he needed to pay for their flights back and.
- 13:22Speaker 1: Coach Homeward in his last six swings, which was phenomenal,
- 13:26Speaker 1: and walked it off.
- 13:27Speaker 2: And it was an easy power too. Huh.
- 13:30Speaker 1: It was terrific. Yeah, it was just a it was
- 13:32Speaker 1: great theater. The format worked. It's back to being a
- 13:35Speaker 1: thing with all the schlocky starts, you know, and stops
- 13:38Speaker 1: once it got once it got to the derby itself,
- 13:41Speaker 1: it was better than it's been in a long time.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree. And Walker to your point, Drew,
- 13:46Speaker 3: he came up and had a really really good rookie
- 13:48Speaker 3: season and and everybody kind of anticipated, all right, you
- 13:51Speaker 3: just take off from here. And then he gets hurt
- 13:53Speaker 3: and kind of struggled last year. His numbers weren't great,
- 13:56Speaker 3: didn't it got hurt again, didn't play a ton of games,
- 14:00Speaker 3: but his numbers were really down.
- 14:02Speaker 2: Ops was under six hundred.
- 14:03Speaker 3: There are people in Saint Louis like, all right, sweet,
- 14:05Speaker 3: this guy was our number one overall prospect, and now
- 14:07Speaker 3: this is what we're gonna get three or four years in.
- 14:09Speaker 3: We'll call him a bus last year and all of
- 14:11Speaker 3: a sudden, this year he's gonna get legit MVP votes.
- 14:14Speaker 3: He's gonna deserve him, and he is a he is
- 14:16Speaker 3: a presence in the batter's box, and it appears that
- 14:19Speaker 3: we're gonna have to deal with that cat for a
- 14:20Speaker 3: long time unless we can continue to hammer into the
- 14:23Speaker 3: minds of the Saint Louis Cardinals that apparently, you know what,
- 14:26Speaker 3: there also might just be a small market team.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe they also.
- 14:30Speaker 3: Are gonna have to trade him to the end, better
- 14:32Speaker 3: trade him lall his values eye you know night as
- 14:33Speaker 3: well capitalize. Now get him out of there sooner rather
- 14:37Speaker 3: than later, because he took Zeck Gasser, that he took
- 14:40Speaker 3: the big mac land.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Or believe yeah thing yeah.
- 14:44Speaker 3: And it feels yeah, and it feels like he's gonna
- 14:47Speaker 3: do that to a lot of guys. So maybe we
- 14:49Speaker 3: try to get him out of the nl Central as
- 14:51Speaker 3: soon as possible. Similar to Kevin O'Connell, we're fine whenever
- 14:54Speaker 3: he decides to get out of the NFC North Jordan Walker,
- 14:56Speaker 3: whenever he chooses to go be a Yankee, We're gonna
- 15:00Speaker 3: definitely support him in that decision.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Yeah, and he should be a Yankee.
- 15:02Speaker 4: I mean, he's got that big size for a slugger
- 15:05Speaker 4: like Judge and Stanton, He's like he's six six and
- 15:08Speaker 4: why not?
- 15:08Speaker 2: And it was impressive to see how, like you said.
- 15:10Speaker 4: Free and easy swing Billy kind of didn't even look
- 15:13Speaker 4: like a swinging hard kind of that Cliff Floyd with
- 15:15Speaker 4: all those chains too.
- 15:17Speaker 2: I mean, if you can swing that hard and.
- 15:19Speaker 4: That easy and hit that many dingers a lot of yeah,
- 15:22Speaker 4: nineteen chains on, which is definitely half the salary unless
- 15:26Speaker 4: those are the ones you get from that. Everything has
- 15:29Speaker 4: to go store in the Dells for three bucks where
- 15:32Speaker 4: I got my uh for three bucks. I got a
- 15:34Speaker 4: chain once with a microphone on it, you know, because
- 15:36Speaker 4: I went in high school.
- 15:37Speaker 2: Sure, I thought that'd be funny.
- 15:39Speaker 3: Well, you know, was that next to the fighting necklace
- 15:42Speaker 3: stand where the guy was trying to check your balance
- 15:44Speaker 3: whenever you put it on.
- 15:45Speaker 4: No, it was either next to that or the old
- 15:47Speaker 4: time pictures stand next to the saltwater.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Those are now all the actual stores in them all
- 15:52Speaker 2: there is.
- 15:52Speaker 3: That's not what the malls are is the center aisles
- 15:55Speaker 3: where you try to just get away from the guy.
- 15:57Speaker 2: Those are all the actual lots. The whole thing. Now, Yeah,
- 16:00Speaker 2: it's worked its way out.
- 16:01Speaker 4: No, so obviously he's fulfilling whatever potential they had. The
- 16:05Speaker 4: other hope is if you're a Brewers fan that you
- 16:08Speaker 4: know and this has been a trend. Whether or not
- 16:10Speaker 4: you believe it that guys have bad second halves after
- 16:12Speaker 4: they go crazy in the home run derby, I'm not
- 16:14Speaker 4: really sure, but hey, that would be nice if Jordan
- 16:17Speaker 4: Walker just totally, you know, totally blew blew his whole thing.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Last so that the research department can stand out. It
- 16:23Speaker 1: was Chad Patrick that gave him best okay long home run.
- 16:27Speaker 3: Yes, he hit two during the weekend though, I mean
- 16:30Speaker 3: he was he was mashing at the time, and he's
- 16:33Speaker 3: just he's a he's a massive slugger, dude, He's a
- 16:36Speaker 3: he's a problem and we're gonna have to deal with
- 16:38Speaker 3: him for for a while. And luckily the Brewers got
- 16:41Speaker 3: five games out of the way with the Cardinals, they've
- 16:43Speaker 3: already won the serious season series against. But I thought
- 16:47Speaker 3: it was the Philly crowd was phenomenal last night.
- 16:50Speaker 2: You knew they would be.
- 16:51Speaker 3: They get hyped up and they get blasted rightfully so,
- 16:56Speaker 3: but they are entertaining to watch on television like it's
- 16:59Speaker 3: the one place Drew as I was watching it is
- 17:02Speaker 3: you've been there. I definitely want to go to that ballpark.
- 17:04Speaker 3: It seems like Baseball personified. Just pretty good.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Yeah, the lighting, it's so it's so vibrant.
- 17:12Speaker 3: It looks like that field that you walk through the
- 17:15Speaker 3: first time and it's etched into your mind. And I
- 17:18Speaker 3: just got to maybe I go for a preseason game
- 17:20Speaker 3: or or a regular season game and you just wear
- 17:23Speaker 3: black and you just go as neutral as possible.
- 17:25Speaker 4: It's a nice place. I've been there once. The Brewers
- 17:26Speaker 4: won that game too, which made me happy. But the thing,
- 17:29Speaker 4: the thing I also enjoyed is that that they kept
- 17:31Speaker 4: the camera high on a lot of those home run
- 17:33Speaker 4: shots so you can see the sunset and everything like that.
- 17:36Speaker 2: It was pretty awesome that that pink sky going on.
- 17:38Speaker 1: And yeah, it was after what the debacle the ESPN
- 17:41Speaker 1: had last year with kind of splitting the screen and
- 17:43Speaker 1: not watching the flight of the ball. It was not Yeah,
- 17:47Speaker 1: so they got it right this year. So baseball is
- 17:49Speaker 1: off to a good start and it's a kind of
- 17:51Speaker 1: week off. It's Midsummer reset, and we will chat about
- 17:56Speaker 1: you know, Contraras no miss tonight other than the foul
- 17:58Speaker 1: line intros, which is fine because he's not even gonna
- 18:01Speaker 1: start the first series coming out of the break.
- 18:03Speaker 3: Give it a quick hat to throw, throw a bullpen
- 18:07Speaker 3: of contraras while he's there, might as well, might as
- 18:09Speaker 3: well get your work.
- 18:10Speaker 4: I want to see if his Pokemon glove actually work.
- 18:12Speaker 4: Did you guys see that?
- 18:13Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 18:13Speaker 1: That was well, it was supposed to be game ready,
- 18:16Speaker 1: so you would think it would I'm sure. But it's
- 18:19Speaker 1: only for the All Star game, right, So.
- 18:20Speaker 4: Yeah, they're not gonna let him do all that goopy
- 18:22Speaker 4: stuff in the game, are they.
- 18:23Speaker 1: We might have to ask we might be talking a
- 18:25Speaker 1: little bit about Pokemon because, uh, okay, I like that.
- 18:29Speaker 2: There was a something.
- 18:31Speaker 1: I don't know how the game works, and I'm not
- 18:32Speaker 1: a Pokemon I'm not literate at all, but Pokemon Go
- 18:35Speaker 1: crowd infiltrated my neighborhood.
- 18:37Speaker 2: They're still doing that. Oh yeah, big time, big time.
- 18:42Speaker 1: No, I don't know, maybe it's just out of our awareness,
- 18:45Speaker 1: but they.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Just had Pokemon Go night at the at the Brewers game.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's well, it's alive and well remember that
- 18:52Speaker 1: it's its own thing.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Everyone did it. I remember that first week.
- 18:57Speaker 1: We will we will chat about that as we move
- 18:59Speaker 1: forward on the program. Eight seven seven seven nine four
- 19:02Speaker 1: three do some buying or selling in fact, that might
- 19:04Speaker 1: be a good buyer or sell. As we move forward
- 19:07Speaker 1: today on the program, talk about the home run derby.
- 19:09Speaker 1: It's supposed to be the slowest week of the sports
- 19:12Speaker 1: talk year. We're not going to let that happen. We'll
- 19:15Speaker 1: find stuff to talk about because it's.
- 19:16Speaker 2: What we do.
- 19:17Speaker 1: You're in the huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, huddled up
- 19:24Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, Drew, Billy and Arman bringing it to
- 19:27Speaker 1: you A nine twenty Milwaukee ten seventy medicine and we
- 19:29Speaker 1: are everywhere on the iHeart app, streaming live, Facebook, YouTube
- 19:32Speaker 1: and the X. Surprise how many people consume the show
- 19:35Speaker 1: on YouTube or maybe on X. They wake up, they
- 19:38Speaker 1: see it, click it, and then they got their phones
- 19:40Speaker 1: rolling while where they're brushing their teeth and stuff. I
- 19:42Speaker 1: guess you used to have a radio in the bathroom
- 19:44Speaker 1: for such shower levers. Now it's not or a smart speaker.
- 19:48Speaker 1: You can find us anywhere, and we're glad you're with
- 19:50Speaker 1: us in the five o'clock club.
- 19:51Speaker 3: Strategically move the TV down in the basement so that
- 19:54Speaker 3: you could sit in there on the porcelain throne and
- 19:55Speaker 3: still watch games.
- 19:56Speaker 2: That's a good one. Yeah, I had one of those
- 19:59Speaker 2: radio shower radios. You know. He was like one of those.
- 20:02Speaker 4: It was from like a novelty magazine or one of
- 20:04Speaker 4: those like to order magazines. I don't know how I
- 20:07Speaker 4: got it or why I wanted it, but I remember
- 20:09Speaker 4: convincing my mom I needed to get it to like
- 20:12Speaker 4: watch listen to the Bucks games, in the Brewers games
- 20:14Speaker 4: and this love that, and I did.
- 20:16Speaker 3: I listened to Ted David's Sake your Time in the Shower. Yeah,
- 20:18Speaker 3: it's like Adam Schefter, you can't take a shower, you
- 20:20Speaker 3: I can't. They're always work in, You're never you're never
- 20:23Speaker 3: not grinding. There was somebody in the YouTube comments yesterday.
- 20:25Speaker 3: I think it was Wisconsin sports fanatic that I respected
- 20:28Speaker 3: probably the most of all time on the Hustle. He
- 20:31Speaker 3: was commenting on YouTube but talking about listening on the
- 20:36Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app so he could hear all of the audio
- 20:40Speaker 3: and even better, all the commercials. I love that he
- 20:44Speaker 3: wanted to hear the spot, not because you know, he
- 20:46Speaker 3: desperately wanted to be able to help out all of it,
- 20:50Speaker 3: but if you want to have some spots on there,
- 20:51Speaker 3: you definitely should be joining us and reach out to Arman.
- 20:54Speaker 3: Sorry and at iHeartMedia dot com and he'll get you
- 20:56Speaker 3: in touch with all the important investors and people that
- 20:59Speaker 3: will take you that.
- 21:01Speaker 2: I'm open for endorsements as.
- 21:02Speaker 3: Because Drew he said he was sick and damn tired
- 21:05Speaker 3: of the hold music that we have during the breaks
- 21:08Speaker 3: and then needed to get the master mixes of Armen
- 21:10Speaker 3: and get the bumps. So if you want the full experience,
- 21:13Speaker 3: the app is another way, and then you can just
- 21:15Speaker 3: go next level with it watching and commenting on YouTube,
- 21:19Speaker 3: but listening on the app, double devising the huddle is
- 21:23Speaker 3: a is maybe the best way to enjoy it. So
- 21:26Speaker 3: that's the way you want to get down. We're here
- 21:28Speaker 3: for you because that's a phenomenal grind.
- 21:30Speaker 4: And if I can offer you the third ultimate level
- 21:32Speaker 4: of support of the show, all right, it's when you
- 21:34Speaker 4: have your actual radio on, you have your actual radio
- 21:38Speaker 4: on on YouTube, and you have us on the stream
- 21:42Speaker 4: now commenting on streams that not only any of the
- 21:45Speaker 4: full triple barrel throttle experience. You're supporting us in every
- 21:50Speaker 4: way possible. And yes, if you want to hear the
- 21:52Speaker 4: commercials from our great advertisers, you can hear all those
- 21:55Speaker 4: and patronize them and make sure that you know they
- 21:57Speaker 4: know that you heard them right here in the huddle.
- 22:00Speaker 4: Paul from Kenosha checking in as we speak about the
- 22:03Speaker 4: YouTube comments as well. Pie, if I'm not saying this wrong,
- 22:06Speaker 4: I apologize. Pie Chang five eight four or five Pie
- 22:09Speaker 4: from Fox Point. Good morning, great home run Derby. So
- 22:12Speaker 4: what are we going to talk about today?
- 22:14Speaker 2: Boys? Well, this is it.
- 22:15Speaker 4: We're talking about it me in the shower radios Utah
- 22:18Speaker 4: Home Runs Derby, Home run Derby. It's fantastic and we
- 22:21Speaker 4: have by ourself Tuesday coming up. There's a lot going on.
- 22:24Speaker 4: Pink Flamingo, good morning. I hear all you guys, loud
- 22:27Speaker 4: and clear, all right, Thank you guys, appreciate Joe Mingo.
- 22:30Speaker 3: Also our friend Ryan and Mesigo told us that they
- 22:32Speaker 3: were loud and clear as well, and so did our
- 22:35Speaker 3: friend in Germantown. So that was the first home run
- 22:38Speaker 3: Derby I watched all the way through in many years.
- 22:40Speaker 3: I think the set number of pitches definitely helped. I
- 22:43Speaker 3: do think it was almost better than the outstrew. I
- 22:48Speaker 3: anticipated that I was going to want the ten out format,
- 22:51Speaker 3: but you could tell without the timeouts in between. I
- 22:54Speaker 3: was waiting for William Contreras going and towel off Wilson Contreras. Again,
- 22:58Speaker 3: I just got used to the hype crowd and like
- 23:00Speaker 3: the corner men that you would have in the timed
- 23:03Speaker 3: period because you had to get a little bit of
- 23:04Speaker 3: a blow. Those boys looked like they needed a blow
- 23:07Speaker 3: a little bit yesterday. But the camera kept finding William
- 23:11Speaker 3: over on the side while Wilson was hitting dingers, and
- 23:14Speaker 3: it did limit at least some of the length. I
- 23:19Speaker 3: don't know that it was any longer or any shorter.
- 23:21Speaker 3: I think it was right into the time period that
- 23:22Speaker 3: they were hoping it was. I don't know that it was.
- 23:25Speaker 3: I think it was really digestible, and I think it
- 23:27Speaker 3: was perfect for how it goes and.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Takes over this time and now.
- 23:31Speaker 3: Also again, Netflix getting into all sports is going to
- 23:35Speaker 3: be is going to be unique. They post they showed
- 23:38Speaker 3: a little bit of their excitement for the NFL games
- 23:41Speaker 3: they have. I think they have six of them, and
- 23:43Speaker 3: I think they're only going to end up having more here,
- 23:45Speaker 3: sooner rather than later.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the future, it's what's happening. The networks are
- 23:50Speaker 1: drifting away and they're going to be taken over. And indeed,
- 23:53Speaker 1: you know pretty soon there will be one company that
- 23:55Speaker 1: owns the three streaming services that we have to choose.
- 23:58Speaker 3: From, and that's what it'll be, and it'll it'll be
- 24:00Speaker 3: wild to see then if all of a sudden you
- 24:02Speaker 3: can get a cable package of them, or if indeed
- 24:05Speaker 3: that super sports pack that everybody was talking about designing
- 24:08Speaker 3: ends up actually ever happening. Amazon has the most practice
- 24:12Speaker 3: at it, but they're by far the best streamer at
- 24:15Speaker 3: presenting sports.
- 24:16Speaker 2: Is that fair? Yeah?
- 24:17Speaker 3: I think so, Like I think from the talent that
- 24:20Speaker 3: they've brought in the creativity while also not like forcing
- 24:25Speaker 3: it down their throat. The best thing they do on
- 24:28Speaker 3: broadcasts for the NFL games now, sadly we don't see
- 24:31Speaker 3: a ton of it now because of the schedule is
- 24:33Speaker 3: that postgame show where they let those guys go for
- 24:35Speaker 3: like an hour and they have all the length in
- 24:37Speaker 3: the world. And it was one of the reasons why
- 24:40Speaker 3: Drew I thought they were the perfect landing spot initially
- 24:43Speaker 3: for inside the NBA. Yes, they would have let they
- 24:46Speaker 3: would breath and you would have had those guys all
- 24:49Speaker 3: year long. Now we wouldn't have gotten them in the finals,
- 24:51Speaker 3: which was cool, but that show being able to have
- 24:56Speaker 3: the full breath that it wants, or go as far
- 24:59Speaker 3: as long long as it wants and have as much
- 25:01Speaker 3: fun and jokes as they can make. I think that
- 25:04Speaker 3: would have helped them, maybe more, But their reach has
- 25:07Speaker 3: never been bigger on ESPN that they got this year.
- 25:09Speaker 2: You're right, because that's the big advantage.
- 25:11Speaker 4: Right for streamers, that they don't any encumbrances that the
- 25:14Speaker 4: network's always had, and that's always been like the nervousness.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Of it, and we didn't get it in time.
- 25:19Speaker 4: We had to get to our reruns of Hogan's Heroes
- 25:21Speaker 4: or Sister's Sister or whatever it is, because we have
- 25:25Speaker 4: a schedule to keep right, or we have late local
- 25:26Speaker 4: news and we have all those things that they're all
- 25:28Speaker 4: standing by and all the affiliates.
- 25:30Speaker 2: They don't have to worry about any of that. I
- 25:31Speaker 2: mean they don't.
- 25:32Speaker 4: I mean they can just keep the thing on as
- 25:33Speaker 4: long as they want. Basically, it's the TV version of
- 25:36Speaker 4: a podcast, you know, just keep I.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Know I'm an outlier, but basically the only time I
- 25:40Speaker 1: fire up those streaming services to find sports sports.
- 25:42Speaker 2: Yeah, wife's watching shows all the time.
- 25:45Speaker 1: My boy KB is constantly sending me stuff about Netflix
- 25:48Speaker 1: documentaries that he watches and stuff.
- 25:49Speaker 2: I don't watch any of that crap. I'll be honest
- 25:51Speaker 2: with you.
- 25:51Speaker 3: I've looked at a couple of times when going to
- 25:54Speaker 3: get us to a sporting event and I'm like, oh,
- 25:56Speaker 3: that looks cool, maybe I'll watch it.
- 25:57Speaker 4: Then you won't and I forget about it. Even with YouTube,
- 26:02Speaker 4: my watch list is incredible and I keep going to
- 26:04Speaker 4: the back of the same stuff that pops up. But
- 26:06Speaker 4: I don't know if you count that as a streaming
- 26:08Speaker 4: service YouTube that's.
- 26:09Speaker 2: On Animal Original Streaming. It is, but I don't.
- 26:13Speaker 1: Pay the way they feed you the algo and people
- 26:15Speaker 1: you don't pay for it. Though when you're younger, that's
- 26:17Speaker 1: how people listen to music. It's all YouTube. Listen to
- 26:20Speaker 1: us watch watch TV on YouTube, watch.
- 26:23Speaker 4: Videos they like, and then you because there's an infinite
- 26:25Speaker 4: amount of things you can find on there. So I
- 26:27Speaker 4: don't know, it's a it's a very interesting dynamic in
- 26:30Speaker 4: that sense.
- 26:31Speaker 2: But you're right.
- 26:32Speaker 4: I mean it's that that that c list is ever increasing,
- 26:35Speaker 4: and it's always it always seems like a factory of
- 26:37Speaker 4: content they're putting on on Netflix.
- 26:39Speaker 2: There's always a new show and a new and like,
- 26:41Speaker 2: how do they do this?
- 26:42Speaker 4: And we've talked to Mat Miller about this many times,
- 26:44Speaker 4: but it's like maybe the quality is not there, but
- 26:46Speaker 4: the quantity definitely is shovel junk food, junk food, junk food.
- 26:50Speaker 2: You know, well, yeah, that's just it.
- 26:52Speaker 1: And there it's all about they're manipulating, like the show Ozark,
- 26:56Speaker 1: you know, like there they know what buttons to push
- 26:59Speaker 1: to get you hooked, and then and then what stars
- 27:01Speaker 1: to put on it.
- 27:02Speaker 3: They've done the ghosts, they've done the most research, and
- 27:05Speaker 3: they've got the all I've got all your data, and.
- 27:08Speaker 1: The thing is they know everything that you surf through
- 27:11Speaker 1: and everything that you're looking, you know, everything that you're
- 27:13Speaker 1: shopping for on Amazon.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Show good.
- 27:17Speaker 3: It might be that might be the last show that
- 27:19Speaker 3: I actually feel like I've watched all the way for all. Yeah,
- 27:23Speaker 3: that was one. Yeah, because you're right, I'm bad. I'm
- 27:25Speaker 3: right there with you. I don't know that I've watched that.
- 27:28Speaker 3: I go to any of these streaming services to watch
- 27:30Speaker 3: anything now Again, it probably says more about me that
- 27:32Speaker 3: mostly what I'm watching is sports and potentially Vegas mattuh.
- 27:36Speaker 3: But in Korean street food videos that Armon has put
- 27:38Speaker 3: it in my algorithms, it's it's it's wild how you
- 27:42Speaker 3: get in your your zone and that's about it, and
- 27:44Speaker 3: you don't necessarily give.
- 27:45Speaker 1: You it's a cocoon, and they don't. You're not really uh.
- 27:48Speaker 1: They don't introduce new things because they want to keep
- 27:51Speaker 1: you hooked on what you like, giving you the drug
- 27:53Speaker 1: of your choice.
- 27:54Speaker 2: That's what they're doing.
- 27:55Speaker 3: It seemed like they, Sorry, arm I don't. I didn't
- 27:57Speaker 3: mean to cut you off there, but it seemed like
- 27:58Speaker 3: they were. Their hope was to get more mainstreams the
- 28:02Speaker 3: totally wrong way of putting it, but find even more
- 28:05Speaker 3: chance to lock in. And maybe it's exactly what you said, Drew.
- 28:08Speaker 3: They have so much information, They have so much data
- 28:10Speaker 3: on you that their latest purchases Netflix being them is
- 28:14Speaker 3: all the sports podcasts, right, like the video versions of
- 28:17Speaker 3: Pardon My Take and the Bill Simmons Network for a while.
- 28:22Speaker 3: I again, I guess I didn't really think about it.
- 28:24Speaker 3: I listened to those shows. I've almost found workarounds to
- 28:28Speaker 3: not enjoy not have it on Netflix because it just
- 28:31Speaker 3: wasn't a part of thought about it. And it still
- 28:35Speaker 3: is so foreign, seemingly to me. I wonder they're getting
- 28:37Speaker 3: any of that bang for the butt.
- 28:39Speaker 1: By the way, do you see any of the of
- 28:42Speaker 1: Big Cat and PFT with Tony Romo?
- 28:44Speaker 2: Do you watch any of that?
- 28:45Speaker 1: I saw the clip about the Wisconsin Dells. I saw
- 28:47Speaker 1: a couple of clips of it. Yeah, there are about
- 28:49Speaker 1: the Dells and about his free unlogoed hat Ooh.
- 28:52Speaker 2: I like this a funny.
- 28:53Speaker 1: One because he got it on a pizza commercial because
- 28:55Speaker 1: with pizza you can't wear it, so it's just a
- 28:57Speaker 1: blue cap. And then he started wearing it around and
- 28:59Speaker 1: they're like, I started the trend of the no logo cap.
- 29:02Speaker 2: There it is.
- 29:02Speaker 1: And he's like, is that the same one that you
- 29:04Speaker 1: got for free? And they're like, oh my god. He's like,
- 29:06Speaker 1: how did you notice that?
- 29:07Speaker 3: Like?
- 29:07Speaker 2: How did they?
- 29:09Speaker 3: Guy?
- 29:09Speaker 2: He's at a dude game.
- 29:10Speaker 1: He's got a Duke T shirt on at a Duke game,
- 29:13Speaker 1: but he's wearing his no logo blue hat that he
- 29:15Speaker 1: got for free for a Pizza Hut shoot, and he's
- 29:17Speaker 1: just wearing the no logo.
- 29:18Speaker 2: That's amazing. That might be Armin's favorite quarterback.
- 29:21Speaker 4: Well, it's funny because then they'll become yeah, no logo,
- 29:23Speaker 4: Then they'll become a trendy, and then we're selling them
- 29:26Speaker 4: for eighty bucks on Siegelman's tables or something.
- 29:28Speaker 3: I appreciated that. Big Cat asked him like, hey, you
- 29:31Speaker 3: want to go to Cruise and Chubbies with me?
- 29:33Speaker 2: Just said it? Do you want to go? The funny thing?
- 29:35Speaker 4: You guys even said it. You watched it on the clip.
- 29:37Speaker 4: You watch clips. That's how we consume it now on clips.
- 29:40Speaker 1: That's very true, you know, yeah, you know I don't
- 29:42Speaker 1: need to see it, so it that's.
- 29:43Speaker 2: Very Yeah, I heard it, I heard the I heard
- 29:44Speaker 2: the punchline.
- 29:45Speaker 3: That's again where I almost got broke with movies where
- 29:48Speaker 3: I would watch the trailer and anticipate.
- 29:51Speaker 2: Those were the best jokes in the movie. A lot
- 29:53Speaker 2: of times they are.
- 29:54Speaker 4: And yeah, he's a lot because a lot of the challenge,
- 29:59Speaker 4: even you know, obviously streaming and things like that, the
- 30:01Speaker 4: number one challenge is still how to get people to
- 30:03Speaker 4: all coalesce around appointment viewing like we used to in
- 30:08Speaker 4: the pre streaming, pre internet pre age, where people would
- 30:12Speaker 4: gather twenty million, thirty million, those crazy numbers to watch
- 30:15Speaker 4: a show that was in a finite time or you know,
- 30:18Speaker 4: that just doesn't happen anymore, like the old American idol
- 30:21Speaker 4: numbers and stuff, just crazy numbers you'll never see again.
- 30:24Speaker 4: So I think they're even streaming services are still trying
- 30:27Speaker 4: to find a magic potion or magic formula to find that.
- 30:31Speaker 4: And the closest we've gotten is live sports, and that's
- 30:33Speaker 4: all there is. So that's why you'll see them continue
- 30:36Speaker 4: to pay big money for it.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Well, and the way you just explain that, I wonder
- 30:40Speaker 3: if the best in the sport that they're going to
- 30:43Speaker 3: jump at the most here coming up next will be
- 30:46Speaker 3: the one that we're going to watch the penultimate games
- 30:49Speaker 3: of coming up today tomorrow.
- 30:50Speaker 2: That's a good point.
- 30:51Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the World Cup, the perfect event for Netflix,
- 30:54Speaker 3: one would think, I mean the global reach, the ability
- 30:57Speaker 3: that they could end up buying. I don't know that
- 30:59Speaker 3: you'd want to buy both the International and the American
- 31:01Speaker 3: eye one, but wherever it ends up being, you could grab.
- 31:04Speaker 3: You're you're going across the entire globe with that.
- 31:06Speaker 1: It's funny because it's been such a such a great ride,
- 31:09Speaker 1: and we got two games, you know, we got two
- 31:12Speaker 1: games this week and then the final, so we got
- 31:13Speaker 1: three games left of the World Cup to enjoy, including
- 31:16Speaker 1: this afternoon, which is nice because they don't want to
- 31:17Speaker 1: go up against the All Star Game.
- 31:18Speaker 3: And yeah, and today's game might be the best one.
- 31:21Speaker 3: It might be like it's kind of yeah, it'd be awesome.
- 31:23Speaker 1: It's the Arizona, you know, it's like this is this
- 31:27Speaker 1: you can make the case these are the two best teams,
- 31:28Speaker 1: and these are the teams you want to see.
- 31:29Speaker 3: Yeah, the Douke Kentucky or the France is an overwhelming favorite.
- 31:32Speaker 3: Feels like there might be some value in Spain, that's
- 31:34Speaker 3: all I mean. In France, there might.
- 31:35Speaker 2: Be franch should fear us.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, that's that's very interesting. But it's been
- 31:43Speaker 1: you can't come to America and have your big show
- 31:45Speaker 1: and not be Americanized, because I just read the other
- 31:48Speaker 1: day that Fox is making two hundred and fifty million
- 31:52Speaker 1: dollars during on ads during the hydration breaks, and Premier
- 31:56Speaker 1: League and European soccer is like, hmm, we haven't up
- 31:59Speaker 1: to our revenues in a way, while we haven't been having commercials.
- 32:01Speaker 1: One of the great things about watching Premier League is
- 32:03Speaker 1: that it's not commercial commercials and then change the game,
- 32:07Speaker 1: so you're saying you can make money and let the
- 32:09Speaker 1: players get a water break, which makes it seem like
- 32:11Speaker 1: we're doing a good solid for our players.
- 32:13Speaker 2: That's player safety hydration break in two and fifty million dollars. Yeah,
- 32:18Speaker 2: let's take a two ten thing.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Let's take a bite out of that welcome. We might
- 32:22Speaker 1: americanize the great beautiful game that you can watch NonStop
- 32:26Speaker 1: for forty five minutes of play.
- 32:27Speaker 4: And then yeah, oh man, we one more reason to
- 32:30Speaker 4: be hated. We already did it to the Olympics in
- 32:32Speaker 4: ninety six. The Land Olympics was the first corporate Olympics.
- 32:34Speaker 4: McDonald's coke, everything was was branded, and ever since then
- 32:38Speaker 4: it's all been a moneymaker, you know, So that.
- 32:40Speaker 3: It wasn't ninety two where we used the flag to
- 32:43Speaker 3: cover up the logo. That felt pretty, that felt pretty corporate.
- 32:46Speaker 2: That was a Jordan only deal.
- 32:47Speaker 4: But yes, yes, maybe it was the start of the
- 32:49Speaker 4: trend of the thinking that way is.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like I got something for him.
- 32:53Speaker 1: What I got some we got some buy or sell
- 32:56Speaker 1: propositions coming up for you, and I got I got
- 32:59Speaker 1: something that's going to say to arm it into a
- 33:00Speaker 1: rabbit hole, like you're not gonna believe, and it's not
- 33:03Speaker 1: one that he would expect.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Just just be ready. At least the board works now
- 33:07Speaker 2: what we're talking about. It that's good. Yeah, that is good.

- 34:43Speaker 4: of cooks here we go. Yeah, so it talks about
- 34:46Speaker 4: making suit.
- 34:47Speaker 2: No, it's not that.
- 34:48Speaker 4: So it's basically, you know, you're messing with the TV
- 34:51Speaker 4: and you're looking at some things. You put a new
- 34:53Speaker 4: receiver in, maybe the speakers, and your mom says, what
- 34:55Speaker 4: did you do with the TV?
- 34:56Speaker 2: I can't. Nothing works.
- 34:57Speaker 4: You change it around a little bit, and if it's
- 34:59Speaker 4: not exactly the way the remotables to work, your mom
- 35:01Speaker 4: freaks out, you know, so she calls you to come
- 35:03Speaker 4: over and fix the TV.
- 35:04Speaker 2: It would be nice if you just left it how
- 35:06Speaker 2: it was.
- 35:06Speaker 3: It's funny how armand did go through the entire rolodex
- 35:10Speaker 3: of you explaining getting in trouble to your parents.
- 35:13Speaker 2: Yes, right, Well, it was these two other kids. They
- 35:15Speaker 2: probably did.
- 35:16Speaker 3: They were sitting there, they were they were the one smoking.
- 35:18Speaker 3: We were just sitting there watching. We were trying to
- 35:19Speaker 3: watch tennis. I don't know what they were doing.
- 35:21Speaker 2: That's not mine. It's a friends.
- 35:22Speaker 4: No.
- 35:22Speaker 3: And then by the end of it, well, maybe I
- 35:24Speaker 3: did try it one time. I'd try Okay, I tried
- 35:27Speaker 3: the blastland, I apologizem.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Yes, I took it out of fridge. I did.
- 35:30Speaker 3: I Yes, I took the beer out of dad's beer fridge. Yes,
- 35:33Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Okay, all right.
- 35:35Speaker 2: With those boys egging houses, no, I wouldn't do that.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Potential rabbit hole for arm and I got oh god,
- 35:42Speaker 1: randomly these my Facebook algorithm. I don't go to Facebook
- 35:45Speaker 1: a lot, but when I do, it's like people you
- 35:47Speaker 1: may know, and then suggested stuff from people that you
- 35:51Speaker 1: might know.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Or family members.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Some of my feet from Greg Swindell.
- 35:55Speaker 2: Oh, okay, what's up? Greg?
- 35:57Speaker 1: You used to pitch in the big leagues, longtime big
- 35:59Speaker 1: league pitcher. So it's like Greg's Windell and Doug Russell.
- 36:04Speaker 1: As it points out, it looks like Doug Russell replied
- 36:06Speaker 1: to this thread our own.
- 36:08Speaker 2: Russell Frake Swindell was one of these.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Is it is, I'll go too. But Greg's Windell posted
- 36:16Speaker 1: last week right around the time of the Major League
- 36:19Speaker 1: Baseball Draft right the Sporting News All American Team from
- 36:22Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five.
- 36:24Speaker 4: I guess it would have a little young for that,
- 36:26Speaker 4: but I can still eat from that buffet.
- 36:28Speaker 2: Yeah. And because he was in it.
- 36:31Speaker 1: He was the left handed pitcher on the All American
- 36:34Speaker 1: Team Sporting News College All American Team. He was out
- 36:35Speaker 1: of Texas. The right handed pitcher out of Oklahoma rival
- 36:40Speaker 1: was Bobby Witt now the father of Bobby Wit Junior Major.
- 36:45Speaker 2: Major see picture the a's right.
- 36:47Speaker 1: The outfielders were included Chris Gwinn, brother of Tony Gwinn
- 36:51Speaker 1: from San Diego State. Also Rafael Palmero from Mississippi State
- 36:58Speaker 1: I did not do steroids period, and Barry Bonds from
- 37:02Speaker 1: Arizona State University. Designated hitter was Pete Incavillia from Oklahoma State.
- 37:07Speaker 1: The shortstop was Barry Larkin from Michigan. Shane was Jose
- 37:12Speaker 1: Mota from cal State Fullerton was the second baseman. The
- 37:15Speaker 1: fellow named Will Clark Will the Thrill from Mississippi State
- 37:18Speaker 1: was the first baseman and then third base was a
- 37:21Speaker 1: guy from cal Lance Blanket Ship and the player of
- 37:24Speaker 1: the year was a catcher out of North Carolina named Bj.
- 37:27Speaker 2: Sirho Bjo Pick.
- 37:30Speaker 1: The Brewers had the number one overall pick that year
- 37:32Speaker 1: and they selected with the number one overall pick, Bj
- 37:35Speaker 1: Sirhof because they needed a catcher. You called him a
- 37:38Speaker 1: pure baseball protegee.
- 37:40Speaker 4: He said it funny peg in the eighty seven Uh,
- 37:43Speaker 4: magic miracles.
- 37:44Speaker 2: And true believers.
- 37:45Speaker 1: Yeah now, so, Bj Surroff was drafted first overall by
- 37:48Speaker 1: the out of North Carolina, Will Clark second, Bobby Witt third,
- 37:54Speaker 1: Barry Larkin fourth, So Kurt Brown catcher for the second
- 37:59Speaker 1: best catcher out of high school drafted by the White Sox,
- 38:01Speaker 1: never made it the big leagues. And then Barry Bonds
- 38:03Speaker 1: was taken sixthikes. So of the first six picks there
- 38:07Speaker 1: you had, you know, pretty much all star players and
- 38:09Speaker 1: two Hall of famers. Larkin and Bonds drafted fourth and
- 38:13Speaker 1: sixth that year. Pete and Kavilia was a big home
- 38:16Speaker 1: run guy. Walt Weiss was taken eleventh. He had a
- 38:20Speaker 1: long career playing infield. Jeff Bumgarner was in this like
- 38:24Speaker 1: the Cameron Drew. There's a bunch of names in your oh.
- 38:27Speaker 1: And then later the Mets took Greg Jeffries.
- 38:29Speaker 2: I remember that name.
- 38:30Speaker 1: Rafael Palmer was taken twenty second by the Cubs. He
- 38:33Speaker 1: would have been a Hall of Famer.
- 38:34Speaker 2: Hall of Famer.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Joey Korra had a long and distinguished career. He was
- 38:38Speaker 1: also taken twenty third that year. So there are those
- 38:42Speaker 1: who say arm in that that is the best draft
- 38:44Speaker 1: in baseball history of the nineteen eighty five class. Now
- 38:47Speaker 1: people could say, well, the Bruce took BJ Suruff. They
- 38:49Speaker 1: could have had Barry Luck and they could have Well Clark,
- 38:50Speaker 1: they could have Barry Bonds, they could have had this guy.
- 38:53Speaker 1: That guy, bj sur Huff took a lot of heat.
- 38:56Speaker 1: It's the what we always say about the number one pick, right,
- 38:58Speaker 1: the pressure that comes with the number one pick.
- 39:00Speaker 2: BJ Siroff played. Now, he didn't catch.
- 39:02Speaker 1: That was the thing. Like he was drafted as a catcher.
- 39:04Speaker 1: He was catcher for like. Then he moved to third
- 39:06Speaker 1: base and outfielder. Sure he played. He left Milwaukee after
- 39:10Speaker 1: his first like six seven years and went to Baltimore,
- 39:14Speaker 1: and then he played a couple of years in Atlanta,
- 39:15Speaker 1: went back to Baltimore. The dude played nineteen years in
- 39:18Speaker 1: the Major.
- 39:19Speaker 2: That's a big years in Baltimore as an outfielder.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Big years in Baltimore with good Baltimore teams playing with me.
- 39:23Speaker 1: He was a buddies with cal Ripken bej Sirhoff finished
- 39:27Speaker 1: his career with two three and twenty six hits and
- 39:31Speaker 1: he hit two eighty in his career.
- 39:33Speaker 3: Good lord, Wow, that's a more than productive Major. Only
- 39:36Speaker 3: one hundred eighty eight homers. I say, only stroll one
- 39:40Speaker 3: hundred and forty one bags. He was not a stiff
- 39:44Speaker 3: by any means, but he wasn't you know, a Hall
- 39:47Speaker 3: of famer taking number one overall and then he had
- 39:50Speaker 3: to wear that and throughout his time with the Burst,
- 39:51Speaker 3: people thought he was a bus and oh they could
- 39:53Speaker 3: have had this guy and that guy, and he was
- 39:54Speaker 3: forever compared to the guys in that draft class. But
- 39:56Speaker 3: that draft class, arming this will get you considered like
- 40:00Speaker 3: the best ever because it had the highest combined war.
- 40:03Speaker 2: Oh yes, now we're talking.
- 40:05Speaker 3: Because I needed an objective measure to DJ's got to
- 40:08Speaker 3: be a part of that thirty four.
- 40:09Speaker 2: And a half. You get a really good you know.
- 40:11Speaker 1: I mean, that's a pretty good career. Yeah, that's sure,
- 40:14Speaker 1: pretty damn good.
- 40:14Speaker 3: But if you're gonna slash overs, you're gonna have an
- 40:17Speaker 3: over seven hundred ops for a nineteen year big league careers,
- 40:21Speaker 3: it's gonna be worth it.
- 40:22Speaker 1: You don't fleke your weight almost twenty four hundred hits.
- 40:24Speaker 3: I mean that's so that's not full Tony Mandridge. No, like,
- 40:28Speaker 3: that's not a Tony Mandridge swing and a miss. In
- 40:31Speaker 3: the eighty nine NFL Draft, where yeah, you're looking at
- 40:34Speaker 3: three Hall of famers right behind you, there's a couple
- 40:37Speaker 3: of great ones there, but.
- 40:38Speaker 1: That may have been the best top to bottom draft
- 40:41Speaker 1: in Major League baseball history. And then it's like, okay,
- 40:44Speaker 1: so what was the best single team draft? Always forever
- 40:47Speaker 1: gonna be the nineteen fifty eight Green Bay Packers.
- 40:50Speaker 2: Then it's not gonna get touched.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Jim Taylor, Raynichki, and Jerry Kramer all taken, and oh
- 40:55Speaker 1: and Dan Curry, who was all pro to Dan Curry
- 40:58Speaker 1: was taking third overall, Jim Taylor fifteen, Ray Nichki a
- 41:01Speaker 1: third round pick, and Jerry Kramer a fourth round pick.
- 41:05Speaker 2: Wow, that's excazing.
- 41:07Speaker 3: That's three Hall of famers, the three Hall of famers,
- 41:09Speaker 3: and the core of a dynastic that.
- 41:11Speaker 1: We're off and running to buy ourself Tuesday. We'll get
- 41:14Speaker 1: to it next year.
- 41:14Speaker 2: In the Huddle.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin
