2:13
Speaker 5: We've been thinking about you this week, even if we
2:15
Speaker 5: haven't given you your normal shout out. Arman there's a
2:19
Speaker 5: light night last night in the sports world for us
2:22
Speaker 5: here locally, more time to be able to consume a
2:26
Speaker 5: lot of conversation that a lot of people had about
2:29
Speaker 5: the conversation that was had with the Milwaukee Bucks and
2:32
Speaker 5: Taylor Jenkins and Jimmy Haslam. We'll get into more of
2:34
Speaker 5: that coming up later on here today. But then a
2:37
Speaker 5: couple of NBA playoff games, one NHL game on the docket,
2:40
Speaker 5: a light night, low tide, and just another sadly win
2:44
Speaker 5: for those North Siders for us to have to deal with.
2:46
Speaker 5: Yesterday is just one of those days that kind of
2:48
Speaker 5: goes in the sports calendar here in one of your
2:51
Speaker 5: favorite months, the month of May, where sometimes it can
2:55
Speaker 5: be a little bit of a sports desert every once
2:57
Speaker 5: in a while, Yeah, it can be, and usually offended May,
3:00
Speaker 5: as you know Billy vociferously, and I have to take
3:03
Speaker 5: a mia kulpa right here, Friday, May eighth, at five
3:06
Speaker 5: oh four in the morning, and I have to be
3:08
Speaker 5: honest and say May sucks.
3:09
Speaker 2: So far.
3:09
Speaker 3: It's been a terrible May so far, weather wise, it's
3:13
Speaker 3: not been good Bill Drew to.
3:15
Speaker 2: Pick the right week to go on vacation.
3:16
Speaker 3: I'll be honest, when he first told me he was
3:18
Speaker 3: going on vacation and May, I said, you should have
3:20
Speaker 3: picked a better month, month when there's gonna be worse weather,
3:23
Speaker 3: because a lot of times the weather is pretty decent
3:25
Speaker 3: in May. And I've talked about that in the past,
3:27
Speaker 3: but I think it's underrated. But I'll take the L
3:29
Speaker 3: right here.
3:30
Speaker 2: I'll take the L. Is this correct?
3:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, L.
3:31
Speaker 2: I'm gonna just reverse it, yeah, L.
3:33
Speaker 3: I'll take the L right there, because it's not been
3:35
Speaker 3: a great month so far of May for weather, and
3:37
Speaker 3: it's not been great. The Cubs haven't lost yet in
3:40
Speaker 3: this month, which is not something I really enjoy, and
3:43
Speaker 3: the Bucks still aren't playing in the playoffs. So I
3:45
Speaker 3: would say, so far, it's been an L month around here,
3:49
Speaker 3: and I gotta say it's not it's not been great.
3:51
Speaker 2: It is.
3:51
Speaker 3: David and I were talking about you don't really get
3:53
Speaker 3: a sense of the weather when you wake up this
3:55
Speaker 3: early yet because you don't know what it's gonna be,
3:56
Speaker 3: and six you get a sense of the weather every
3:59
Speaker 3: I like. I like to try and I'm trying. I
4:01
Speaker 3: like to try and look at it, prepare my day
4:03
Speaker 3: base in the weather. I like to follow the weather
4:04
Speaker 3: you're right, big weather fan, Big weather fan. I love
4:07
Speaker 3: I love to you know, know what's going on. I
4:09
Speaker 3: like to prepare it. I like to have the ten
4:10
Speaker 3: day forecast kind of in my head at all times,
4:13
Speaker 3: kind of like surrounding my my thoughts.
4:15
Speaker 2: But uh, pack of a way to live. Let me
4:17
Speaker 2: tell you, it's wild. But it's been.
4:19
Speaker 3: It's been a crappy weather month. So I'm here to
4:21
Speaker 3: say I'm wrong about May, at least for this month.
4:24
Speaker 3: I'm I'm my you know, the credit I usually give
4:27
Speaker 3: May has not been requited, and therefore I have to
4:30
Speaker 3: take the l on this. But as I put on
4:33
Speaker 3: X and Dave lapt to me this morning, for I
4:35
Speaker 3: think I should get credit for that. How many people
4:37
Speaker 3: admit they're wrong all the time, so I think there's
4:39
Speaker 3: only some credit. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Definitely deserve definitely
4:42
Speaker 3: deserve more credit. You deserve more credit than the Guardians
4:45
Speaker 3: fan that dropped the file ball yesterday and spilled a
4:47
Speaker 3: beer all over his loving significant other who is sitting
4:51
Speaker 3: right next to him and doesn't complete the process of
4:53
Speaker 3: the catch. There's a lot of times where that's important,
4:56
Speaker 3: and it's stressed.
4:58
Speaker 2: It's going to be stressed.
4:59
Speaker 5: Whenever they end up giving us these scheduled NFL games
5:02
Speaker 5: that are potentially gonna come out at some particular point
5:05
Speaker 5: in one day.
5:05
Speaker 1: One day.
5:07
Speaker 5: Completing the process of the catch is a lot of
5:10
Speaker 5: times the most important part fundamentally, So when you are
5:13
Speaker 5: gonna leave your feet, you gotta know you're gonna come
5:15
Speaker 5: back down with two feet inbounds and full possession of
5:18
Speaker 5: the ball. My man lost both the beer, actually all three,
5:21
Speaker 5: maybe the beer, the ball, and the day because that
5:25
Speaker 5: young lady was very very much not enjoying it and
5:28
Speaker 5: laughing as much as he seemingly was.
5:30
Speaker 2: But it was it's a it's a different difficult night.
5:32
Speaker 5: I mean, in all reality, the most exciting thing to
5:35
Speaker 5: talk about yesterday was my man, Ronald McDonald's singing a
5:38
Speaker 5: national anthem because it's just so casual greatness with this
5:41
Speaker 5: Oklahoma City team, and they just I mean, granted, they
5:45
Speaker 5: were down what five in the late stages of the
5:48
Speaker 5: fourth quarter, but only one team with the MVP not
5:51
Speaker 5: on the floor goes on a twenty two to four
5:54
Speaker 5: run and just goes night night to the LA Lakers
5:56
Speaker 5: in Game two.
5:57
Speaker 3: They are the most chill, NBA dominant and like team
6:01
Speaker 3: approaching dynasty since this burst. I mean, in some ways,
6:05
Speaker 3: I think a lot of that was because of Tim
6:07
Speaker 3: Duncan and the way he was. We just thought of that.
6:09
Speaker 3: Their greatness is so chill. I don't know how else
6:11
Speaker 3: to describe it. And it seems like they're very understated.
6:14
Speaker 3: This Oklahoma City team seems similar. I remember even last
6:16
Speaker 3: year when they finally won the championship, and I said finally,
6:19
Speaker 3: because it took more games I thought it should, but
6:21
Speaker 3: they won in seven. How like understated their celebration was.
6:26
Speaker 3: I don't mean the parade and all that. I'm not
6:27
Speaker 3: making fun of Oklahoma City today, well not yet, I mean,
6:30
Speaker 3: but that's not what this is about. But even on
6:32
Speaker 3: the court, they just seem like, all right, it's done now,
6:34
Speaker 3: like the season's done, we did our mission.
6:36
Speaker 2: Let's just dap up and go home.
6:37
Speaker 3: Like I don't know, I guess it's different because for me,
6:41
Speaker 3: like you know, you grow up dreaming of titles, dreaming
6:44
Speaker 3: of championships and what it's finally happening.
6:46
Speaker 2: And it happened for the Bucks obviously in twenty one.
6:48
Speaker 3: It was such an exuberant kind of push to the top,
6:51
Speaker 3: push to the finish with a you know, a huge
6:54
Speaker 3: performance and individual star performance and all these things that
6:58
Speaker 3: it felt like this burst of energy and excitement. But listen,
7:01
Speaker 3: I mean, the thunder are just chilling out here, putting
7:04
Speaker 3: up their one twenty five one of their games.
7:05
Speaker 2: Even with SGA having another ho home game.
7:07
Speaker 3: He was in foul troublebilly as you know, but Chet
7:11
Speaker 3: and their depth just got it done again. They are
7:13
Speaker 3: the most kind of like workmanlike potential dynasty.
7:17
Speaker 2: That you remember in NBHA history.
7:18
Speaker 3: And the thing is maybe that's personifies them because it
7:22
Speaker 3: is Oklahoma City and it's like whatever, that's this is
7:25
Speaker 3: our town, this is our state, and we're just here
7:27
Speaker 3: and we're just doing it and we're just gonna dominate
7:29
Speaker 3: you in the most ordinary way. But I guess they
7:33
Speaker 3: are extraordinary in their ordinary. They have great depth. They
7:35
Speaker 3: do their thing. Chet had a great game and they
7:38
Speaker 3: didn't need SGA to be great again last night, and
7:40
Speaker 3: they got it done.
7:41
Speaker 2: And take the tool leader, yeah.
7:42
Speaker 5: He had he had four files when he checks out,
7:44
Speaker 5: and they sparked that run with SGA on the bench.
7:47
Speaker 5: They outscored the Lakers by eighteen in the run. One
7:50
Speaker 5: of the reasons why JJ Redick was ripping the officials
7:53
Speaker 5: after the game. But like you have a group that
7:57
Speaker 5: and you mentioned the Spurs. Teams and groups take on
8:01
Speaker 5: the personality a lot of times of the best player.
8:04
Speaker 5: Not all the time does the best player have to
8:06
Speaker 5: be the best leader or the most vocal leader. Not
8:09
Speaker 5: necessarily always is that guy, but the team will definitely
8:12
Speaker 5: take on the personality of that player. And Sga is
8:15
Speaker 5: about as calm, cool and collected and understated as possible.
8:18
Speaker 5: He's not the flashy superstar that the NBA has seen
8:22
Speaker 5: for so long, but he's also another one in the
8:27
Speaker 5: long line that we've seen consistently now of the international
8:30
Speaker 5: superstars that are just different than then than a lot
8:34
Speaker 5: of American superstars that we've seen and grown so.
8:36
Speaker 2: Accustomed to that.
8:39
Speaker 5: I mean, it means a ton to win titles, no
8:41
Speaker 5: doubt about it, but it doesn't appear like that would
8:45
Speaker 5: be the end all be all. A lot in life, however,
8:49
Speaker 5: it's a lot about the journey. It's a lot about
8:51
Speaker 5: the togetherness, the goofiness on the interviews, and they are
8:56
Speaker 5: not because of like streaming services, hard to watch, but
9:00
Speaker 5: you kind of have to make a point to watch
9:01
Speaker 5: Oklahoma City Thunder basketball during the regular season, because after
9:05
Speaker 5: they they started out twenty.
9:07
Speaker 2: Four and one, this year just incredible, right, and what incredible?
9:11
Speaker 5: And at that point people are watching like, holy cow,
9:15
Speaker 5: are they gonna they win seventy games? And then when
9:17
Speaker 5: that was kind of out of the equation, you'm like, right, well,
9:20
Speaker 5: let's push that off to the side and watch everything else,
9:23
Speaker 5: because again, it's not like it's all that enjoyable for
9:27
Speaker 5: a casual outside viewer to just watch one team systematically
9:32
Speaker 5: dominate and win by twelve or thirteen every night, and
9:36
Speaker 5: seemingly they might just do that through the playoffs, like
9:39
Speaker 5: I anticipate they'll get tested and you always do. Last
9:42
Speaker 5: year they won the title. It was about as a
9:45
Speaker 5: dominant of a team last year as this year. However,
9:49
Speaker 5: they went to two seven game series last year. I
9:51
Speaker 5: don't see them really getting pushed necessarily that same way
9:55
Speaker 5: with what's in front of them, and in an era
9:58
Speaker 5: that is ever changing in the NBA, they'd be the
10:01
Speaker 5: first repeat since the seventeen eighteen Katie Warriors, and it
10:06
Speaker 5: definitely just doesn't feel like they've gotten nearly the same
10:09
Speaker 5: conversation somewhat because of how they want to play and
10:12
Speaker 5: how they want to go about their own bus.
10:13
Speaker 3: Definitely Billy that they haven't gotten that same sort of attention.
10:16
Speaker 3: And I think it's because I don't know. I think
10:19
Speaker 3: we looked at those Warriors teams even before KD as
10:23
Speaker 3: representing a new era of basketball, like, you know, like
10:26
Speaker 3: this the supernova great like super Splash Brothers. Splash brother
10:32
Speaker 3: were totally different. Was different than Steph, was different than
10:35
Speaker 3: anything we've ever seen. The way they played, it was fast,
10:37
Speaker 3: it was exciting. People were calling it, you know, basketball porn,
10:40
Speaker 3: like you know, all that stuff, and then they add
10:43
Speaker 3: KD and they're like, this is just the craziest super
10:45
Speaker 3: team that we're ever gonna see. It was kind of
10:47
Speaker 3: in a big you know, it's a big market obviously,
10:49
Speaker 3: I mean the San Francisco area, Golden State Bay area
10:52
Speaker 3: is a big market. And Curry had a lot of
10:55
Speaker 3: support amongst the youth. I mean, he was the star
10:57
Speaker 3: of a generation because they could relate to him. Everyone
11:00
Speaker 3: loved the way he played. He changed the way kids play.
11:03
Speaker 3: It was this supernova of excitement even though they were
11:05
Speaker 3: so dominant. And then the NKD and then then but
11:08
Speaker 3: but it just doesn't feel like you had that obviously
11:10
Speaker 3: with Oklahoma City is the market sized part of it.
11:12
Speaker 2: I think so.
11:13
Speaker 3: I think SGA's you know, it's the type of star
11:16
Speaker 3: he is understated. A lot of people are like, he's good,
11:19
Speaker 3: really great, MVP can score great, but you know he
11:21
Speaker 3: falls all the time.
11:23
Speaker 2: Does he flop? Like there's questions about that.
11:25
Speaker 3: He doesn't necessarily always wow you on the court, but
11:28
Speaker 3: he but the final results always wow you.
11:31
Speaker 5: He's the most dunkin like superstar you'd ever see again. Yeah,
11:34
Speaker 5: and and there wouldn't be as much mid range and
11:38
Speaker 5: bank shots in today's NBA because I don't know the
11:41
Speaker 5: kids are going to grow up learning how to play
11:43
Speaker 5: that same way, if not fifteen feet away from the
11:45
Speaker 5: basket like you just mentioned, but like the way the
11:49
Speaker 5: way he would casually do the fundamentals. SGA does fundamentally
11:54
Speaker 5: take advantage of the basketball game. And like JJ Redick
11:56
Speaker 5: said last night, I sarcastically the other day called him
11:59
Speaker 5: the most just uptive team without following. I mean, they
12:02
Speaker 5: have a few guys that follow every possession. All right,
12:04
Speaker 5: they're hard enough to play. They're hard enough to play.
12:06
Speaker 5: You got to just be able to call them when
12:07
Speaker 5: they fill and they do fil He definitely initiates enough
12:10
Speaker 5: of the contact, and we always want some kind of controversy.
12:14
Speaker 5: We always want something to go wrong, and that's why
12:16
Speaker 5: the fun my favorite part of watching Oklahoma City is
12:20
Speaker 5: laughing at the thought of how many different Giannis like
12:24
Speaker 5: moves people had tried to concoct Oklahoma City to have
12:27
Speaker 5: to make and instead they're sitting back.
12:29
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, we're good, We're good, We're good.
12:33
Speaker 5: We grabbed Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency and all this,
12:37
Speaker 5: and he was maybe the biggest player that anybody was
12:39
Speaker 5: able to grab in the last two years. Alex Caruso
12:42
Speaker 5: was our three year vet that we ended up grabbing
12:45
Speaker 5: around a three year contract, veteran deal that you bring
12:47
Speaker 5: in and he'll suffice because there was something very mundane
12:52
Speaker 5: about the way the Spurs went about it, and Dungan
12:55
Speaker 5: didn't want any of the attention, and I don't think
12:57
Speaker 5: SGA necessarily wants the attention out side of some of
13:01
Speaker 5: the wild outfits that my man will Rick like.
13:03
Speaker 2: It's just it's a different.
13:05
Speaker 5: Level of casual, however, ridiculously dominant in an era that
13:11
Speaker 5: we just haven't seen many dominant NBA teams.
13:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's the thing.
13:15
Speaker 3: I mean, it's very hard to repeat in this era,
13:16
Speaker 3: so they're on the brink of doing it.
13:18
Speaker 5: Not only sorry not to but a the first repeat team. Again,
13:23
Speaker 5: this is the league that had a team wins six
13:26
Speaker 5: of eight how many of the Larry Bird Celtics won
13:30
Speaker 5: four and seven years and four three and.
13:34
Speaker 3: Six, although the Lakers won I think five and nine
13:38
Speaker 3: be yeers basically, so that that would have been yeah.
13:41
Speaker 5: Right into there, and then I mean the Pistons win
13:43
Speaker 5: the back to backs. But then so like this has
13:45
Speaker 5: been always littered with teams that win multiple titles and groups, right, Kob,
13:51
Speaker 5: It's all dynasties, right, chacking Kobe with the three peats
13:54
Speaker 5: obviously the Warriors that we just mentioned, the heat before
13:58
Speaker 5: that going to the finals four s raight years, win twice.
14:00
Speaker 5: It's always been there's a team that is a bowser
14:04
Speaker 5: up top, and everybody going and hunting for that. Not
14:08
Speaker 5: only could they be the first team to repeat since
14:11
Speaker 5: seventeen eighteen, they're right now two games away from me
14:14
Speaker 5: in the first team since the freaking pandemic to not
14:18
Speaker 5: only win the title one year go back to the
14:20
Speaker 5: conference finals.
14:21
Speaker 2: The next year. That's that's the crazy part.
14:23
Speaker 5: To me, Like that's just how different the league's been
14:25
Speaker 5: over the last half a century or half a decade,
14:28
Speaker 5: pardon me, and the way that they've done it. I
14:31
Speaker 5: don't necessarily know that people are stunned that it's them,
14:34
Speaker 5: for how they stockpiled assets, how much people speak highly
14:39
Speaker 5: and how highly they speak of Sam Presty. But I
14:42
Speaker 5: don't necessarily know people love that it's happening this way.
14:45
Speaker 5: Does that make sense?
14:45
Speaker 3: Well, like today we're getting today, we're getting the revival.
14:49
Speaker 5: Today is a return day. I don't know if you're
14:51
Speaker 5: I don't know if this isn't on your calendar.
14:53
Speaker 2: I don't know if I had this on Mikey, I
14:54
Speaker 2: don't know if what this is on my calendar? But
14:56
Speaker 2: what am I missing here? Stephen A.
14:58
Speaker 3: Smith and Skip baylesting me back on first take that's today? Yeah, okay, Yeah,
15:03
Speaker 3: there's not a big deal.
15:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's not first takiness with with Gold whereas Oklahoma City.
15:08
Speaker 5: There's there's not any real good drama with them storylines.
15:12
Speaker 5: There's no great, big time storyline other than we got
15:16
Speaker 5: to say that they get fouled too much. Like it's
15:19
Speaker 5: a difficult it's a difficult one to talk about, and
15:21
Speaker 5: I can't think they're the four Letter Network's favorite team
15:24
Speaker 5: right now. I definitely know they're not because they don't
15:26
Speaker 5: nearly get the same amount of oxygen as the Knicks. However,
15:30
Speaker 5: way they're just right now and seemingly a different stratus
15:33
Speaker 5: here than everybody else.
15:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm starting to wonder.
15:36
Speaker 3: And when I started to see it, like a lot
15:37
Speaker 3: of people and a lot of social media say, these team,
15:39
Speaker 3: you know, they they're they're they make it hard to
15:41
Speaker 3: watch because they're constantly flopping or they get fouls. When
15:44
Speaker 3: people start going to those angles, I start wondering, like,
15:46
Speaker 3: all right, is it just you don't want Oklahoma to
15:48
Speaker 3: be relevant?
15:49
Speaker 2: Like?
15:51
Speaker 3: And I wonder like, if you know, I make my
15:54
Speaker 3: little I make my little jabs at Oklahoma City and
15:56
Speaker 3: stuff like that, but should I be more like should
15:59
Speaker 3: I more having a of affinity to them as a
16:01
Speaker 3: small market because that's what the Bucks I felt dealt
16:03
Speaker 3: with at certain times.
16:05
Speaker 5: I think that's what you and I have been trying
16:06
Speaker 5: to advocate a year and a half. Yeah, yeah, I
16:10
Speaker 5: think that's exactly the point that Dave and I have
16:11
Speaker 5: been making since Well, there's some of that bs on nobs,
16:16
Speaker 5: there's some of that, of course, My issues are more
16:18
Speaker 5: with Oklahoma City is that.
16:19
Speaker 2: It might just be I'm Milwaukee in the South.
16:22
Speaker 3: Don't insult my city by saying that about not in
16:25
Speaker 3: Slwaukee the South. No, We're much more interesting of a
16:28
Speaker 3: place to be than Oklahoma City. But as a team, yes,
16:31
Speaker 3: and a market yes, because the league isn't interested in
16:35
Speaker 3: them being really good. It seems like a lot of
16:37
Speaker 3: times and the machine or the media machine around the
16:40
Speaker 3: league isn't interested in them. But that's the other funny
16:42
Speaker 3: thing Billy is like, even during the season, it wasn't
16:44
Speaker 3: like they coasted like there was no regular season storyline up,
16:47
Speaker 3: can they get to seventy wins? Like I don't remember
16:49
Speaker 3: people talking about it, but they won sixty four games,
16:52
Speaker 3: like they were definitely on that track for a while,
16:54
Speaker 3: and it was like, you know, that could be the excitement.
16:56
Speaker 2: Of the storyline we followed with Oklahoma City.
16:58
Speaker 3: But it really wasn't like people weren't even with the
17:01
Speaker 3: you know, even with the great Warriors teams and getting
17:03
Speaker 3: seventy three wins but then losing the lebron it was like, wow,
17:06
Speaker 3: can they break the you know, the Bulls record and
17:08
Speaker 3: have all those wins?
17:10
Speaker 2: But with Oklahoma City.
17:11
Speaker 3: There was none of that, and it was like, Okay,
17:13
Speaker 3: yeah they coasted because they just constantly won, and yeah,
17:16
Speaker 3: you're right. It's like, do they need to load up
17:18
Speaker 3: to try and repeat and maintain their greatness?
17:21
Speaker 2: Like, no, we're fine, We'll just.
17:22
Speaker 3: We'll get Jared McCain and I guess we'll get eighteen
17:26
Speaker 3: from him, and we're fine, and you know, we have
17:27
Speaker 3: all these guys and you know, we don't need Sga
17:30
Speaker 3: to be supernova every game because he can get and
17:33
Speaker 3: foul in trouble and we've got you know, we've got
17:35
Speaker 3: Mitchell and Hartenstein and they mentioned ched Holmgren. It's like
17:38
Speaker 3: they're just they're just deep and they're just good right
17:40
Speaker 3: now and we're waiting for the challenge to be And
17:42
Speaker 3: I don't think a lot of people thought the Lakers
17:43
Speaker 3: would be that challenge.
17:44
Speaker 2: I O Vegas didn't. No, definitely not. Yeah, I still.
17:47
Speaker 3: Think it's San Antonio based on what happened in the regular season.
17:49
Speaker 3: But they have to still get through now they dominate
17:51
Speaker 3: a game too, they have to still get through Minnesota.
17:53
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens. But it sure seems like
17:55
Speaker 3: they're just they're they're the part in the part of
17:59
Speaker 3: the pund thunder the storm rolling through to stop.
18:03
Speaker 5: And and we're gonna hear that Luke Comb's uh Ain't
18:06
Speaker 5: No Love in Oklahoma song a nineteen billion times during
18:10
Speaker 5: the finals again, because it does feel like they're just
18:12
Speaker 5: gonna be wrong. There's not a whole lot of teams
18:14
Speaker 5: that go on the run like they did yesterday, where
18:16
Speaker 5: it's like twenty two to four, best player on the
18:18
Speaker 5: bench and they just like barely let you get the
18:20
Speaker 5: ball pass half court.
18:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a.
18:22
Speaker 5: Different k style of defense in your your you're spot on.
18:24
Speaker 5: It's like I think the thunder half to trade for. Yeah, honest,
18:29
Speaker 5: how many picks can they d should they send?
18:32
Speaker 2: Chat? What would the what would the deal be in there?
18:33
Speaker 5: Like, actually, we got this kid from Santa Barbara, second
18:38
Speaker 5: round pick who spells his name weird AJ. Yeah, he's
18:41
Speaker 5: just gonna drop twenty and we're gonna be fine.
18:44
Speaker 2: Good Ben Simmons.
18:45
Speaker 5: Is here, Like it is all the different great memes
18:50
Speaker 5: of yes, we I think will be okay. You can
18:54
Speaker 5: you can just leave that one at the door and
18:56
Speaker 5: we'll find we'll find our way through eight seven seven
18:58
Speaker 5: seven nine four seven three. That's where you can always
19:01
Speaker 5: join the conversation with our friend Dan and west Ben
19:03
Speaker 5: fired up early here today, maybe a few thoughts and
19:05
Speaker 5: suggestions for Arman's tailgate party.
19:07
Speaker 2: We'll get through all this this weekend.
19:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll get through all this because Dan and west
19:10
Speaker 3: bend like this, You're throwing a party.
19:12
Speaker 2: I love this.
19:13
Speaker 3: I wasn't planning on it, but maybe he's inspired me
19:15
Speaker 3: to with the the amount of detail and effort he
19:18
Speaker 3: put into this text. I mean, I don't know, Dan,
19:20
Speaker 3: if you can't sleep, I'm sorry. We're here for you.
19:22
Speaker 3: You know, if you're up early thinking about these things,
19:24
Speaker 3: I appreciated. I just think he was waiting to rope
19:27
Speaker 3: drop the huddle. Yeah, mate, that's what most people.
19:30
Speaker 2: That's what most people do.
19:31
Speaker 5: You, especially like you go to a theme park, you
19:33
Speaker 5: get there before it opens, so once they drop them ropes,
19:37
Speaker 5: you're the first one through the gates.
19:38
Speaker 2: Dan's are always every day.
19:40
Speaker 5: Every lot of people were ready to do because the
19:42
Speaker 5: YouTube streams already going up this morning.
19:44
Speaker 3: I'm talking about let's go. I see Tommy and Stallas
19:47
Speaker 3: is in there. So we get a lot of people
19:49
Speaker 3: in there and we.
19:51
Speaker 5: Have maybe my favorite text to get to on the
19:53
Speaker 5: other side about you know, you talk about calling us out,
19:56
Speaker 5: and we'd say, we speak. We preach that this talking
19:59
Speaker 5: tech line never closes, and it truly never does. We
20:03
Speaker 5: always see it and we always are able to bring
20:05
Speaker 5: it right back as a seven to one to five
20:07
Speaker 5: has given us a great one and a callback from yesterday.
20:09
Speaker 5: And you want to talk about a windmill dunk right
20:11
Speaker 5: through the legs. Yeah, yeah, they're still playing.
20:14
Speaker 2: We'll get into it.
20:15
Speaker 5: On the other side, our friend armand sorry and is
20:17
Speaker 5: right there, Dave Gasper doing a phenomenal job in arman
20:20
Speaker 5: seat as he takes over the big chair.
20:22
Speaker 2: I'm Billy Schmid.
20:23
Speaker 5: We're glad you're holding on with us, not holding on
20:25
Speaker 5: huddling up, because we're just getting started, as the friend
20:28
Speaker 5: Drew would say, just getting our shooting shirts off.
20:31
Speaker 2: And just getting warmed up. It's the huddle on Fox
20:32
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Wisconsin one. Dave.
20:38
Speaker 5: We got some news here from the NFL. Not not
20:42
Speaker 5: like breaking news again the low tide season. The news
20:45
Speaker 5: in the NFL is the Vikings sign Juwan Jennings.
20:48
Speaker 2: That's a big I mean, come on, there's a couple
20:49
Speaker 2: of one year deal that might be worth thirteen million dollars.
20:52
Speaker 3: Okay, so we talked about the Packers and wide receiver
20:55
Speaker 3: depth a little bit. We talked about positions yesterday. This
20:58
Speaker 3: was one we you know, we said, hey, Stefine digs
21:00
Speaker 3: Juwan Jennings. The Vikings pop for Juwan Jennings. So there
21:03
Speaker 3: you go, division rival, Billy. I mean, do they have
21:06
Speaker 3: to spend their money on Juwan Jennings. It's a one
21:09
Speaker 3: year deal, so it's not a huge risk.
21:10
Speaker 2: But one year.
21:11
Speaker 5: They lost Jalen Naylor, who caught a touchdown in the
21:16
Speaker 5: game against the Packers. A couple of years ago, he
21:18
Speaker 5: signed a three year deal with the Vegas Raiders in
21:20
Speaker 5: free agency.
21:21
Speaker 2: So this is a third receiver replacement.
21:24
Speaker 3: Not a bad option for the Vikings at this time
21:26
Speaker 3: of the offseason to get this.
21:27
Speaker 2: Guy had at all.
21:28
Speaker 5: And these are the kind of moves that you can make,
21:30
Speaker 5: albeit while they are strapped for cash, and that's why
21:34
Speaker 5: they had to get rid of guys like Javon Hargrave
21:37
Speaker 5: and Jonathan Allen and maybe those guys weren't as productive
21:40
Speaker 5: as they thought they were going to be a year ago.
21:42
Speaker 5: When you got a quarterback on a rookie contract who's
21:44
Speaker 5: sitting and a quarterback on a minimum contract for you
21:49
Speaker 5: because he's being paid thirty plus million from his former team.
21:53
Speaker 5: These are the kind of moves that I guess luxury
21:55
Speaker 5: pieces you can add or add in, but I think
21:58
Speaker 5: like the value is in is interesting because Jennings albeit
22:03
Speaker 5: came off an injured year a year ago and had
22:06
Speaker 5: the you know, before the season situation where he was
22:09
Speaker 5: holding out because he's like, listen, I cashed it off,
22:11
Speaker 5: a trying to cash it off, a contract year, great year,
22:14
Speaker 5: and everyone's like, well, brother, you're right. It felt like
22:20
Speaker 5: there was that conversation in San Francisco of all of
22:24
Speaker 5: the mounds were feeding and Jawan Jennings is the one
22:27
Speaker 5: that's griping and holding out, like we got Trent Williams
22:29
Speaker 5: over your first ballot Hall of Famer Chrisian McCaffrey that
22:32
Speaker 5: we're trying to get back off of whatever the Achilles
22:34
Speaker 5: situation was.
22:35
Speaker 2: His attempts at a big money extension never really came
22:38
Speaker 2: through for him, did not materialize at all a year ago.
22:43
Speaker 3: An armen, Yeah, never hurts to ask, never hurts to ask,
22:47
Speaker 3: and he was like, you know, the worst they could
22:48
Speaker 3: say is no. I think he probably felt like, hey,
22:51
Speaker 3: I mean, I've done a lot for you guys. I've
22:53
Speaker 3: had big moments catching the ball, good season and a
22:56
Speaker 3: physical blocker. Things like the physical blocker. Yeah, I'm valuable
23:00
Speaker 3: to you guys. Let's get the extension rolling.
23:02
Speaker 5: Right does the dirty work as the as the ESPN
23:06
Speaker 5: story wraps up with known as a physical blocker who
23:08
Speaker 5: has a tendency to agitate opponents, well that's for sure, right, Like,
23:13
Speaker 5: I mean he is one thousand percent an agitator and
23:15
Speaker 5: has gotten into a number of different scuffles. I think
23:19
Speaker 5: it was Deron Pain last year that just waited for
23:22
Speaker 5: him to walk by and popped him right in the mouth.
23:24
Speaker 2: So like he can be that guy.
23:26
Speaker 5: Adds some definite spice to the two Packers Vikings matchups.
23:30
Speaker 2: But just interesting value.
23:31
Speaker 5: I mean, he comes off a year again injured, dinged
23:33
Speaker 5: up fifty five catches, six just under six hundred and
23:37
Speaker 5: fifty yards, nine touchdowns, signs for one year deal worth
23:42
Speaker 5: around thirteen million dollars at most thirteen million. I mean
23:46
Speaker 5: those numbers fifty five catches, fifty five catches, nine touchdowns
23:51
Speaker 5: compared to six touchdowns, seven hundred and twenty four yards
23:55
Speaker 5: compared to six hundred.
23:56
Speaker 2: And forty yards.
23:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, those are Romeo Dobbs numbers compared to Jawan Jennings
24:00
Speaker 5: a year ago, and like even Jennings' biggest year in
24:04
Speaker 5: twenty four, where he's a quarter shy of a thousand
24:09
Speaker 5: yard season on over one hundred targets in fifteen games played,
24:14
Speaker 5: dead Dwarfs any of the year that Romeo Dobbs had
24:17
Speaker 5: biggest production wise.
24:18
Speaker 2: Now there's a difference in age, right.
24:20
Speaker 5: I think Juwan's going into gonna be twenty nine when
24:24
Speaker 5: the season starts. Dobbs will be twenty six when the
24:27
Speaker 5: season starts. Gonna turn twenty six here coming up here
24:29
Speaker 5: pretty soon. But like the different productions, Dob's signed a
24:33
Speaker 5: four year deal worth up to seventy million dollars a
24:35
Speaker 5: couple of days into free agency. Jennings didn't exactly get
24:39
Speaker 5: what he wanted. Waited, waited, waited. And now the Vikings
24:42
Speaker 5: you had to shop in the Kirkland brand. This this
24:45
Speaker 5: feels like the discount table right before you get into
24:49
Speaker 5: the liquor department at Pickings.
24:50
Speaker 2: Say this is it right? Weird?
24:52
Speaker 5: If you wait long enough, he'll put that reduced label
24:55
Speaker 5: right on you. And the Vikings were the first ones
24:57
Speaker 5: there to shop in. And that's what it is, and
24:59
Speaker 5: I gotta be I think they got good value.
25:01
Speaker 2: Now.
25:01
Speaker 3: I think it's skewed a little bit because as a
25:03
Speaker 3: Packers fan, I remember what he did against us in
25:05
Speaker 3: the playoffs two years ago, like he I don't know
25:07
Speaker 3: what he had and probably like five catches, but it
25:09
Speaker 3: felt like a million. It felt like every big catch
25:12
Speaker 3: he had, it felt like he was killing us. So
25:14
Speaker 3: you're a little bit skewed on that. It's like the
25:15
Speaker 3: whole soup on thing, like when he would dominate the
25:17
Speaker 3: Brewers constantly, so we had a more inflated opinion of him,
25:20
Speaker 3: and I keep thinking about that playoff game in twenty four.
25:24
Speaker 3: But to get this deal for Jowan Jennings, I don't
25:26
Speaker 3: think this is bad. I think the Romeo Dobbs comparison
25:28
Speaker 3: is interesting because yeah, he's been a little more banged
25:31
Speaker 3: up and a little bit older, but Billy, the production's
25:34
Speaker 3: been there And just the question remains now for the
25:36
Speaker 3: Vikings is you know what type of quarterback will be
25:39
Speaker 3: throwing to him? And that's gonna be the constant question
25:41
Speaker 3: for them. But number three receiver, I know they have
25:43
Speaker 3: the young guy as well that the draft pick. I'm
25:47
Speaker 3: blanking on his name right now, that seemed pretty good
25:49
Speaker 3: or ty Felton, Tye Felton y years ago, yes, right.
25:52
Speaker 2: And Jordan Ya.
25:53
Speaker 3: So I mean they've got they've got some options there.
25:56
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a bad pick to make. And
25:59
Speaker 3: if you get a motivated version of him too, because
26:02
Speaker 3: he felt like you should get paid, that could be
26:04
Speaker 3: a point.
26:05
Speaker 5: I don't necessarily know that it's all that hot of
26:07
Speaker 5: a take. They have the best wide receiver room in
26:10
Speaker 5: the division before this, because they have the medicine, because
26:14
Speaker 5: any wide receiver room that headlines with Justin Jefferson is
26:17
Speaker 5: going to be a hard one to beat. And and
26:20
Speaker 5: Jordan Addison is is the best number two right Like,
26:22
Speaker 5: if you look around what he has done already in
26:25
Speaker 5: the league and who he was coming into the league. Now,
26:28
Speaker 5: as long as he's staying awake, he's he's one of
26:31
Speaker 5: the most dynamic guys that you can have in that spot.
26:33
Speaker 5: So like it adds to a strength of their team,
26:37
Speaker 5: albeit maybe one of the most fascinating teams in the
26:40
Speaker 5: league this year at the vikings because two years ago
26:45
Speaker 5: they're four quarters away from hosting and having home field
26:48
Speaker 5: advantage throughout the playoffs. With an eventual Super Bowl winning
26:52
Speaker 5: quarterback and then miss the playoffs whole firestorm, blow out
26:58
Speaker 5: the GM, bring in a guy who form a number
27:02
Speaker 5: one overall pick at quarterback, and feel like you're resetting.
27:06
Speaker 5: But John Horse said for the Milwaukee Bucks the other day,
27:10
Speaker 5: this is not about rebuilding. This is about building. I
27:12
Speaker 5: don't know where the Vikings would say in this situation.
27:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I.
27:15
Speaker 5: Think that there's they got so many veterans on that team,
27:19
Speaker 5: and in all reality, as much as I love Kevin O'Connell,
27:21
Speaker 5: he's not won a playoff game, That's right. I wonder
27:24
Speaker 5: what the what the level of pressure and urgency feels
27:29
Speaker 5: like there is for Minnesota to say, hey, this is
27:33
Speaker 5: actually the team that we are. It's not a great
27:36
Speaker 5: peaking in Week seventeen a couple of years ago.
27:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great question, because I think we all
27:40
Speaker 3: feel like they're well coached.
27:41
Speaker 2: The Kevin O'Connell is very good. We've given him our props.
27:44
Speaker 3: But in terms of actual playoff production, yeah, he hasn't
27:47
Speaker 3: had that yet.
27:48
Speaker 2: And there's gonna be.
27:49
Speaker 3: A point where it's like, okay, eventually you have to
27:51
Speaker 3: perform for us. But then how much does the situation
27:54
Speaker 3: at quarterback, either absolve him, say, look what's he supposed
27:58
Speaker 3: to do. He's got the situation at quarterback and you
27:59
Speaker 3: can went without a good quarterback, or also, we don't
28:03
Speaker 3: really know this. How much does it fall on him
28:05
Speaker 3: as blamed because he's been part of that situation. Now,
28:08
Speaker 3: what we don't know is how much influence he's had
28:10
Speaker 3: over the decision making there, because that was definitely somebody
28:13
Speaker 3: fumbled that in Minnesota and some you know, guys have
28:16
Speaker 3: lost their jobs.
28:17
Speaker 2: Obviously, so somebody messed that thing up.
28:19
Speaker 3: And if it's like if Minnesota's going with the coach
28:21
Speaker 3: over the GM here, then he has to start performing
28:23
Speaker 3: as well. But that could be the one thing that
28:25
Speaker 3: always absolves Kevin O'Connell's like, you know what, look what
28:28
Speaker 3: he did without anything good at quarterback?
28:30
Speaker 2: Look at it.
28:30
Speaker 3: He's got this talented team and you know they found
28:33
Speaker 3: a way to win this many games, but you know,
28:34
Speaker 3: you can't really win without a qui because you can't
28:36
Speaker 3: really blame him. So that's going to be an interesting
28:38
Speaker 3: thing to follow ability as well, because they are such
28:41
Speaker 3: an enigma. They are a team that's super talented except
28:43
Speaker 3: at the most important position, which obviously holds them back.
28:46
Speaker 3: So I know ESPN had their list for every team
28:49
Speaker 3: of what their biggest need was remaining need, depth, need,
28:53
Speaker 3: what position, what hole they have following the draft, and
28:56
Speaker 3: for the Vikings it was receiver. So in theory, I
28:59
Speaker 3: guess they've sort of have figured that out as much
29:02
Speaker 3: as they can because their biggest, biggest.
29:04
Speaker 2: Hole is is the signal caller.
29:06
Speaker 3: But they can't really just fix that here in May
29:09
Speaker 3: and listen, Taylor Honeck's retired now, so that ain't gonna happen. Yeah.
29:13
Speaker 5: I also think the the the part of the signal
29:15
Speaker 5: caller thing is like it's difficult to think that they
29:17
Speaker 5: haven't at least somewhat, but they definitely changed it.
29:20
Speaker 2: I don't know that they've fixed it.
29:22
Speaker 5: I think Kyler's better than the warm cheeks tags kind
29:27
Speaker 5: of been put into at least better than than like
29:31
Speaker 5: the guys would have played for the one year contract,
29:34
Speaker 5: the skeletal remains of Russell Wilson. I think Kyler Murray's
29:37
Speaker 5: better than Right like and like I start you start
29:40
Speaker 5: to kind of just piece it through of the guys
29:42
Speaker 5: that have gotten this moment.
29:45
Speaker 3: I think he's better than is he better than Aaron Right?
29:47
Speaker 3: Now because then we'll probably that's the other one. We'll
29:50
Speaker 3: see him probably in Pittsburgh.
29:52
Speaker 2: Which I think.
29:52
Speaker 3: I think he's definitely more athletic, younger, all those things,
29:55
Speaker 3: definitely can move more, definitely more plays that in that sense.
29:59
Speaker 5: And and why I don't think Aaron's lost much on
30:01
Speaker 5: the throw. Kyler can make every throw like they're the
30:05
Speaker 5: dude that's thrown for twenty thousand yards in the league
30:07
Speaker 5: and over one hundred touchdowns right like.
30:09
Speaker 2: In a dome.
30:09
Speaker 3: If he can find that, then all of a sudden,
30:11
Speaker 3: they become a totally dangerous team that you didn't think
30:13
Speaker 3: about it.
30:13
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be They're gonna be an explosive team.
30:15
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna be one of the more fun
30:18
Speaker 5: teams to watch, albeit not that fun for Packers.
30:21
Speaker 2: Fans to watch see. Is that fair? That sucks because
30:23
Speaker 2: I was excited for them to start this like long
30:25
Speaker 2: slide into Meetia.
30:26
Speaker 5: Well, you picked them to lose the most games in
30:29
Speaker 5: the league a couple of years ago.
30:30
Speaker 3: Two years ago, I was I was one year off
30:32
Speaker 3: from them being bad. They were really I didn't expect.
30:34
Speaker 5: Darlald to do what he did because they also weren't
30:37
Speaker 5: that bad last year they were eight and nine.
30:39
Speaker 3: I know they weren't terrible. They got better as the
30:41
Speaker 3: year one on too big time they closed out.
30:43
Speaker 5: They closed out as maybe one of the hottest teams
30:46
Speaker 5: in football, albeit with Max Brosmer starting at quarterback, because
30:50
Speaker 5: their defense was just that good on on the back end.
30:54
Speaker 5: Juwan Jennings h two passing touchdowns in his playoff career,
30:59
Speaker 5: one in the Super Bowl. He was about to win
31:00
Speaker 5: Super Bowl MVP a couple of years ago. If the
31:03
Speaker 5: Kansas City Chiefs hold, don't come back and win that
31:06
Speaker 5: one in Las Vegas. You're talking about a guy that
31:08
Speaker 5: had a receiving touchdown, Yeah, and a passing touchdown in
31:11
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl. That was gonna be a hard one
31:12
Speaker 5: to beat. That was gonna be a hard candidacy to top,
31:16
Speaker 5: and ends up that Patrick Mahomes had something to say
31:19
Speaker 5: about it. They lose twenty five to twenty two in overtime.
31:21
Speaker 5: He has been to a Super Bowl in his career.
31:24
Speaker 5: Does Juwan Jennings has one loss on his ledger? You
31:27
Speaker 5: mentioned the playoff game a couple of years ago in
31:29
Speaker 5: San Francisco. After the Packers win in and beat the
31:32
Speaker 5: breaks off of the Dallas Cowboys right in the game,
31:35
Speaker 5: had every opportunity to win that game. In San Francisco,
31:38
Speaker 5: Juwan Jennings five catches, sixty one yards and it felt
31:40
Speaker 5: like that every one of the three of those were
31:42
Speaker 5: first down. Yeah, they felt like back breakers.
31:44
Speaker 2: And this might be my memory, but they felt like
31:46
Speaker 2: back breakers every time. So I'll say this.
31:49
Speaker 3: I mean, it sure looks like once again the North
31:51
Speaker 3: is going to be a juggernaut of a division. Like
31:53
Speaker 3: there's no there's gonna be something to it. It's just
31:55
Speaker 3: you talk about with the Vikings, and it's true. Obviously
31:57
Speaker 3: the Bears, you know, feel poised to to take their
32:01
Speaker 3: next step, and the lines are still very talented. So
32:03
Speaker 3: and we hope we think that we are too. And
32:05
Speaker 3: I think that that that's remains me seen. So it's
32:07
Speaker 3: gonna be another tough.
32:08
Speaker 2: In the division.
32:09
Speaker 3: Were uh scares you the most going into twenty twenty
32:13
Speaker 3: sex oh Oh. I think the answer that the answer
32:16
Speaker 3: to that question actually is us the Green Bay Packers
32:19
Speaker 3: in the sense of a great way of harmonizing, because
32:22
Speaker 3: I still wonder how talent, how talented we are. We
32:25
Speaker 3: lost some players last year right now, I still wonder
32:27
Speaker 3: if we're talented enough to make that next step at
32:29
Speaker 3: certain positions. I like even Ed Rusher, I'm like, do
32:32
Speaker 3: we have enough if Mike is not healthy? So in
32:35
Speaker 3: a lot of ways, I look I look at us
32:38
Speaker 3: as the team that scares the most.
32:39
Speaker 2: Not it's a cop ound answer, uh.
32:41
Speaker 3: But but uh, but one that I like Chicago, Chicago, okay,
32:46
Speaker 3: even though I picked them, and most of it is personal,
32:49
Speaker 3: it's ego because I picked.
32:51
Speaker 2: Scared that they're good again, and then you have to go.
32:53
Speaker 3: Through yeah, yeah, because I'm so boldly and loudly predicted
32:58
Speaker 3: that they're gonna take a big you know, as a
33:01
Speaker 3: paper tiger that like, you know, I've said they're not
33:02
Speaker 3: gonna go five hundred all that.
33:04
Speaker 2: So listen, I want to be I'm not gonna lie.
33:06
Speaker 2: I want to be right. So you already think you
33:08
Speaker 2: might be wrong, is what It kind of seems like.
33:10
Speaker 2: That's the one that wants to take them.
33:12
Speaker 3: It scares me the most because it has the most
33:14
Speaker 3: personal This is a this is an ego driven answer. Okay,
33:18
Speaker 3: is the most personal issue for me. So well, because
33:22
Speaker 3: they have they have a very dynamic player quarterback who
33:25
Speaker 3: can be at times, you know, really really good, and
33:29
Speaker 3: the times he's inconsistent, but when he's when he's got
33:32
Speaker 3: the top end right, So like, if he has that
33:34
Speaker 3: top end, that means he has potential and the potential
33:36
Speaker 3: is fulfilled, then we could be talking about.
33:38
Speaker 2: A whole different stratgy.
33:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, and going into year three and year two with
33:42
Speaker 5: year two with the play caller is generally the year
33:44
Speaker 5: you see the different level of a leap.
33:47
Speaker 2: That would be a tough leap to have to watch.
33:49
Speaker 5: However, I love your answer of what scares you the
33:52
Speaker 5: most in the NFC North It's the Green Bay package,
33:54
Speaker 5: it's us. Is that the same for you? At eight
33:56
Speaker 5: seven seven, seven nine four one nine seven three. We're
33:58
Speaker 5: digg into more of that. On the other side, I'm
34:00
Speaker 5: gonna needle it that a little bit because it also
34:02
Speaker 5: feels like you may have not given me the right
34:03
Speaker 5: answer than yesterday. Feels like you might not have given
34:06
Speaker 5: me your your truthful answer on where the roster is yesterday.
34:09
Speaker 5: And we got more of that to dig into it.
34:10
Speaker 5: Eight seven seven, seven nine four one nine seven three.

Speaker 3: lot different from the guy that said, no, it's legion ball.
36:49
Speaker 2: What is this? Why did I just didn't know that?
36:52
Speaker 2: I think I said like fifty to fifty four. I
36:54
Speaker 2: didn't know you said fifty four. This has been going
36:56
Speaker 2: on for fifty four years. I'm just great. It sounds
36:59
Speaker 2: like a great banquet. The e didn't send us the
37:01
Speaker 2: menu for the banquet. I mean we had so much
37:02
Speaker 2: he's going this year. He had three nephews that played
37:04
Speaker 2: in it before, not this year.
37:05
Speaker 3: Well, he had so much detailed information about this event
37:08
Speaker 3: that I figured at the full menu.
37:10
Speaker 2: Of the night bank. Well, like you said, there's there's
37:12
Speaker 2: a documentation of it.
37:13

37:28
Speaker 3: you know, along with the I got the dress code
37:30
Speaker 3: and everything here. No congratulations to all that are participating playing.
37:35
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna be a great event. I'm sure. I'm
37:38
Speaker 3: don't think I'm going to the game. Well, maybe I
37:40
Speaker 3: can say, don't know what actually.
37:42
Speaker 2: At the Packers playing preseason.
37:44
Speaker 5: Dave can I can I say this and let me
37:46
Speaker 5: know if you think so. I don't think Harmon's invited.
37:48
Speaker 2: No on the ball.
37:50
Speaker 5: So yeah, I don't know that you're in the way
37:52
Speaker 5: that you talked about. American Legion Baseball. I don't know
37:55
Speaker 5: they want you there.
37:56
Speaker 6: They can't keep me out so generally, like how they've
37:59
Speaker 6: had it, like the Brewers, like they'll do like a
38:01
Speaker 6: full like lineup announcement, like before that game, they'll have
38:04
Speaker 6: all the American Legion all stars. They'll show them during
38:07
Speaker 6: the endings all wave on the big screen, and then
38:09
Speaker 6: they play the game afterwards. So maybe if you're at
38:12
Speaker 6: the game that day. You can like try and stick
38:14
Speaker 6: around and hope the ushers don't kick you out, you know,
38:17
Speaker 6: because the All Star game is right after the.
38:20
Speaker 3: Do you tell me, I'm sure it's open in the
38:23
Speaker 3: public if they want to go watch.
38:24
Speaker 6: I mean probably not, like if they could just tell
38:27
Speaker 6: them that, you know, Hey, like I gotta.
38:31
Speaker 2: That's playing for I mean, I'm media. They'll let me
38:35
Speaker 2: cover it. Are you going to cover it? Dave?
38:37
Speaker 6: You know those American Legion game and I'll probably head home.
38:40
Speaker 5: I think da da Dave will probably be covering, like
38:43
Speaker 5: I don't know, the press conferences and in the conversation
38:46
Speaker 5: in the brewers.
38:47
Speaker 3: All right, but after that he could go back to
38:49
Speaker 3: the press and catch catch that.
38:51
Speaker 5: Then he's writing, Then he's writing his reports, then he's
38:53
Speaker 5: doing his story. I'm not probably working. I'm the one
38:57
Speaker 5: that's trying to walk in here. Use this media tag,
39:00
Speaker 5: get a free dame to the ball game and a
39:01
Speaker 5: free twenty night double hadder.
39:03
Speaker 3: If the soda machine's on there too, hopefully, And then
39:05
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on, but I've just figured
39:07
Speaker 3: he could cover it if it's a big deal. I
39:09
Speaker 3: mean I'd love that. Hey, maybe I could right. Packers
39:13
Speaker 3: aren't playing preseason that day. We don't know, but they
39:15
Speaker 3: usually play Saturday or Friday.
39:17
Speaker 5: Right here with the American Legion Wisconsin All Stars. You
39:21
Speaker 5: look up the American Legion twenty twenty six All Star Game.
39:24
Speaker 5: There's a ticket offer they can get. That's what I'm
39:26
Speaker 5: talking about. Let's go hear the excitement of the fifty
39:28
Speaker 5: four annual Wisconsin American Legion All Star Game. Prior to
39:32
Speaker 5: Brewers and Twins. So prior to Brewers and Twins. After
39:37
Speaker 5: after the game, prior to the Brewers and Twins game,
39:40
Speaker 5: our twenty twenty six Legion baseball and softball players will
39:43
Speaker 5: be announced on the field. Then stay following that parton,
39:46
Speaker 5: I should probably have read the whole thing and then
39:48
Speaker 5: then going through, say then following the game to be
39:51
Speaker 5: able to get this so thirty three bucks, you can
39:54
Speaker 5: take it to the game and then we'll get the
39:56
Speaker 5: super special pass that will keep you there. Okay, so
39:58
Speaker 5: I believe you got to buy this one to then
40:01
Speaker 5: be able to stay for that.
40:02
Speaker 2: That's fair. That's a fair price. So there you go.
40:04
Speaker 2: I finally got my double header? Can I finally got
40:08
Speaker 2: my double ladder? Again? Yeah? I think that's a fair
40:11
Speaker 2: price for two games.
40:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, and for the second game, I mean you'll probably
40:15
Speaker 6: be on the field level. I mean that's a pretty
40:17
Speaker 6: good view that.
40:18
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean.
40:18
Speaker 3: They got good seats, is what I'm saying. You're not
40:20
Speaker 3: gonna be up in like Bernie's Terrace or something like that.
40:22
Speaker 2: You're not gonna be up there. This will call it.
40:23
Speaker 2: That can be if you want to.
40:25
Speaker 5: I guess, well, in all of these all of these
40:28
Speaker 5: are hanging out in section two O seven. I think
40:30
Speaker 5: that's where they're putting all the American Legion all stars
40:34
Speaker 5: in this group as they'll send and sell it out
40:37
Speaker 5: with this this squadron. So I think this is something
40:39
Speaker 5: that you might have to be at August August ninth,
40:42
Speaker 5: we probably shouldn't have. Out of my early hunter bombguard
40:48
Speaker 5: esque producing of the schedule. That's predicting where the Packers
40:52
Speaker 5: preseason schedule would be. That's the tough part of the time.
40:55
Speaker 5: I'll do it for you right here. They're gonna play
40:57
Speaker 5: some kind of game on the twenty eighth or twenty
40:59
Speaker 5: ninth last week of August, because that'll be the week
41:01
Speaker 5: before Labor Day.
41:03
Speaker 2: They will not play.
41:04
Speaker 5: Uh so that I believe that August eighth will be
41:08
Speaker 5: family Night. From my early prognostications, I would guess August
41:12
Speaker 5: eighth will be Family Night. The fourteenth, fifteenth will be
41:15
Speaker 5: week one, twenty second, twenty first or twenty first, twenty
41:17
Speaker 5: second will be Week two, twenty eight, twenty nine would
41:19
Speaker 5: be the week three of the preseason, so you could
41:21
Speaker 5: easily go to this game. You'll have nothing going on
41:23
Speaker 5: the night before.
41:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, in my memory, there's not that many Sunday pre
41:26
Speaker 3: Sunday presas games. Yeah, but guess possible that That's what
41:29
Speaker 3: I'm saying. I'm telling you I did listen. I'm agreeing
41:33
Speaker 3: with him. I'm affirming what he's saying. I'm saying, yes,
41:36
Speaker 3: it's possible that I can go to that game.
41:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
41:39
Speaker 3: So I mean, I'm gonna probably try and make the
41:41
Speaker 3: game so I can see two games at once.
41:43
Speaker 5: All right, Well, so we are going to have to
41:45
Speaker 5: bookmark our text from the seven to one to five
41:47
Speaker 5: and actually call it back and see if Farman goes.
41:51
