Latest / The Huddle / 08/20/26 - Hour 1
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: You are looking live at a trio of somewhat tired
- 0:05Speaker 1: but enthusiastic dudes. We call the show the Huddle, Drew
- 0:09Speaker 1: Billy Arman. Some Thursday sitting different this week, boys, usually
- 0:14Speaker 1: I got springing up now.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Maybe it's because the Brewers lost.
- 0:17Speaker 3: Yeah, I also think it had something to do with
- 0:19Speaker 3: the Dustin May appearance, that that might take a little
- 0:21Speaker 3: wind out of your sales. No, we still love you,
- 0:23Speaker 3: Dustin May. We still love you. We don't love seven
- 0:25Speaker 3: runs in the first two innings. But yeah, I definitely
- 0:28Speaker 3: a little slower here on this Friday, Junior, one day
- 0:32Speaker 3: away from Packers and Broncos, one day away from apparently
- 0:36Speaker 3: more Jordan love playing like.
- 0:38Speaker 2: So, a little bit of wind in the sales. But Drew, your.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Boy had an absolute war with the snooze button this morning.
- 0:44Speaker 3: That's tough, yeah, and a twelve round fight now the
- 0:49Speaker 3: sadly for the snooze button. I'm prime Mike Tyson when
- 0:53Speaker 3: it ultimately comes up to it, like I will win
- 0:55Speaker 3: the war. But I was taking some absolute body blows
- 0:59Speaker 3: and it was a difficult one to wake up here
- 1:00Speaker 3: this morning.
- 1:00Speaker 2: I'm glad that I wasn't the only one. Begs the question.
- 1:03Speaker 4: Early knock out round sometimes begs the.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Question, what does the alarm on your phone sound like? Ah?
- 1:09Speaker 2: I actually have no alarm, no sound.
- 1:13Speaker 3: Mine is just the hardcore vibration from mostly just the
- 1:18Speaker 3: last three years having the kids within the earshot. I
- 1:22Speaker 3: had to had been trained myself to just figure up
- 1:25Speaker 3: on that vibration. And it's also like basically attached to
- 1:29Speaker 3: my boy I watch yeah, no, no, I mean like
- 1:32Speaker 3: the phone like I am, like where I'll hold my
- 1:35Speaker 3: hand and it's probably still touching one of the last
- 1:38Speaker 3: three digits on.
- 1:39Speaker 2: My yeah, just because I you know, I gotta keep
- 1:43Speaker 2: that thing on me.
- 1:43Speaker 3: I keep that thing on me as a thirty two
- 1:45Speaker 3: year old that's now grown up and.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Developed with it.
- 1:47Speaker 4: You keep the charger, And I've always wondered how you charge,
- 1:50Speaker 4: like when you charge your phone, Billy, because usually it's
- 1:52Speaker 4: not on your person, But do you just leave the
- 1:54Speaker 4: charger hooked up and then on phone the person. I've
- 1:57Speaker 4: always wondered that about your phone situation because it feels
- 2:01Speaker 4: like you would have it.
- 2:03Speaker 2: I'm glad.
- 2:04Speaker 3: I'm glad that I enter your thought process. So how
- 2:07Speaker 3: I do it is there's a small charging station next
- 2:10Speaker 3: next to my bed with a phone charger that has
- 2:13Speaker 3: a cord right and then I plug that one in
- 2:15Speaker 3: and you just keep it, keep it right there.
- 2:18Speaker 4: And I realized the reason I wonder is because like
- 2:20Speaker 4: my phone is too old where the chargers barely connected.
- 2:23Speaker 4: Now you know that you got to wrap it around
- 2:27Speaker 4: because like in my world, for like probably over a
- 2:30Speaker 4: year now, I haven't been able to just charge a
- 2:32Speaker 4: phone connection, like leave it wherever. It's got to be
- 2:35Speaker 4: like balanced the right way, or like on a platform
- 2:37Speaker 4: charger or.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Something like that.
- 2:38Speaker 4: So I guess that makes a lot of sense because
- 2:40Speaker 4: I'm always like, man, what is when does Billy's phone
- 2:43Speaker 4: get charged? Because my man's always ready to go with
- 2:46Speaker 4: with some more content on there, which is impressive. But
- 2:49Speaker 4: I appreciate that the vibration thing would make me nervous.
- 2:52Speaker 4: If that's all was counting on a wake me up
- 2:54Speaker 4: like then I wouldn't be able to fall asleep. But
- 2:56Speaker 4: so I have to answer your question. Do I have
- 2:58Speaker 4: the regular bump bum bump up? I think the Samsung alarm.
- 3:01Speaker 4: I don't know whatever it is, it's just you know.
- 3:04Speaker 4: And then I like had that little moment every time
- 3:07Speaker 4: it goes off where I'm like that's not real. That's fake,
- 3:10Speaker 4: Like it can't happen, like Tiffany Gomes, that is not real.
- 3:15Speaker 4: That that is not real. In the back of the
- 3:17Speaker 4: plane as it then I realized, oh it is real.
- 3:19Speaker 4: This is my life. I to get up, down and go,
- 3:21Speaker 4: you know, and that's the reality of it. They crawl
- 3:24Speaker 4: around looking for a shirt and then we go, you know,
- 3:27Speaker 4: crawl around basically well, you know, in the dark. I
- 3:29Speaker 4: don't want to fall too much.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, mine is like a series of musical notes.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a nice little time and wakes yep, yeah,
- 3:39Speaker 3: spark today.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:40Speaker 1: My wife's like she doesn't even know. She's like, I
- 3:42Speaker 1: don't even know what it is. She's like, I'm semi
- 3:45Speaker 1: aware of it, but not really.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Well, I wake to it.
- 3:47Speaker 3: And I don't know if you guys are the same way,
- 3:48Speaker 3: but uh, you know when we when me and my
- 3:51Speaker 3: wife first date it, we're starting dating. She was working
- 3:54Speaker 3: far earlier than I was. No, she was starting and
- 3:56Speaker 3: opening around like six six fifteen. She was up early.
- 4:00Speaker 3: I was working nights at the time. Now, your boy
- 4:02Speaker 3: went actually snoozing rather much a bear, right, like for
- 4:07Speaker 3: that three hours where it's gonna be hard down, it's
- 4:10Speaker 3: gonna be hard to wake me up in any any regard.
- 4:14Speaker 3: So I rarely would ever hear anything but you stopping around, lights,
- 4:20Speaker 3: flipping on, banging around different things. I feel like at
- 4:24Speaker 3: this point, not necessarily like pots and pants, but you
- 4:28Speaker 3: may be potentially getting some things fired.
- 4:30Speaker 4: Up, like your dad would do in the weekend, So
- 4:31Speaker 4: like everybody get.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Up, or like when I was in my mid twenties
- 4:35Speaker 3: living in the basement, and I swear my dad had
- 4:38Speaker 3: cinder blocks on his feet, especially after he knew that
- 4:40Speaker 3: there was a triple cripple Thursday at Club four hundred,
- 4:43Speaker 3: where you feel like I got the like the flashlight on,
- 4:47Speaker 3: just trying to tiptoe around.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Yeah, you're being considerate.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Yeah, you feel that there might be almost like a
- 4:53Speaker 3: little bit of a difference, but you try so hard,
- 4:55Speaker 3: And then I realized they probably aren't waking up.
- 4:57Speaker 1: For mind, when you visit your parents, you will realize,
- 4:59Speaker 1: my buddy just went through this, Like you know, pops.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Pops would get up six am, start unloading the dishwasher
- 5:06Speaker 1: as loudly as.
- 5:07Speaker 4: Possible, just to get everyone up in hots.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Pans, just just as loudly as possible, Like if I'm up.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Everybody else.
- 5:15Speaker 4: Everybody else is meeting, no doubt about it. And it's like,
- 5:17Speaker 4: you know, you're sleeping at Graham and Grandpa's house, and
- 5:19Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't want them to think I'm, you know,
- 5:21Speaker 4: sleeping too late like a bum. So it's like I
- 5:23Speaker 4: better get up and get going here, you know, because
- 5:25Speaker 4: then then they're gonna be like, ar man, why are
- 5:27Speaker 4: we you just sleeping so late? And then I'm like,
- 5:28Speaker 4: oh man, you know, I just think, yeah, right exactly,
- 5:32Speaker 4: but coffee's been ready. But see, I used to be
- 5:34Speaker 4: at night owl before we did this shift, like you know,
- 5:36Speaker 4: and I used to work, like you said, Billy, different
- 5:38Speaker 4: shifts afternoon late. You know, guy, we've all done that.
- 5:41Speaker 4: So I used to be a night owl. So I
- 5:42Speaker 4: was like slamming away at the one am Seinfeld on TBS.
- 5:46Speaker 1: You know, most of my life has been as a
- 5:48Speaker 1: second shift worker.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So like I was, you know.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Covering sports and being at games, and I'm like, you know,
- 5:54Speaker 1: it's three to midnight basically, and then you can eat
- 5:57Speaker 1: a couple of hours stone wine and your day expand
- 6:00Speaker 1: that way. It doesn't expand the other way. You don't
- 6:02Speaker 1: get up earlier and go to bed right after work,
- 6:04Speaker 1: and then happened. It doesn't happen, So it was a
- 6:06Speaker 1: great timing to hit the bar. Then yeah, that thing
- 6:09Speaker 1: that that was my much of my beat career happened
- 6:12Speaker 1: with my wife and they say youngster at home or
- 6:15Speaker 1: just even my wife and I like, well, she's already asleep.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I can be home by eleven o'clock and sit up
- 6:23Speaker 1: until one, or I can go have a couple of
- 6:25Speaker 1: pops at the and then and then go. Yes, timing
- 6:30Speaker 1: didn't change.
- 6:31Speaker 3: That's my That is my favorite when uh, when we
- 6:33Speaker 3: get the questions of us, so what's the what's the
- 6:35Speaker 3: morning show? Like, Well, it's a little bit different it
- 6:37Speaker 3: compared to where I where we have all been at
- 6:40Speaker 3: different stages of life, where you laughed at the thought of, uh,
- 6:43Speaker 3: wait a second, the only time I'm be up at
- 6:45Speaker 3: four am is for a flight. Now we get to
- 6:47Speaker 3: take flight with you and you know, basically as send
- 6:49Speaker 3: into the into the stratosphere over the next couple of hours. Uh,
- 6:53Speaker 3: And it's uh, it's definitely a different realm. If it
- 6:56Speaker 3: wasn't four kids, Drew, I mean, there's a very good
- 6:59Speaker 3: chance that Pat Murphy would.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Be right though in that intro, and that there will be.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Times I just up all night, rolling on video games,
- 7:07Speaker 1: rolling around, spin the clock, find my alarm.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Here, this is my I think this.
- 7:11Speaker 4: Is my young radio career. They used to tell me, oh, Armen,
- 7:13Speaker 4: you just spin the clock like that, and that's already
- 7:18Speaker 4: for a documentary.
- 7:20Speaker 3: No see, But that's the nice ease in the ramp up,
- 7:23Speaker 3: which I hear is a very important deal in the
- 7:25Speaker 3: wake up deal they break.
- 7:27Speaker 4: That sounds like the audio version of the physical of
- 7:31Speaker 4: your slowly getting into the hot tub without jumping in too.
- 7:34Speaker 2: Hot, but you're climbing up a version.
- 7:37Speaker 1: That's why the sound is called. The alarm is called daybreak.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Take a little day is breaking at four a m.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Or get.
- 7:46Speaker 4: I could figure mine out if you want, but it's
- 7:47Speaker 4: probably not as exciting.
- 7:50Speaker 2: I do.
- 7:52Speaker 1: You're you're just lucky that we keep you in the
- 7:54Speaker 1: group chat. You're the only guy that's not an Apple guy,
- 7:56Speaker 1: and you're always.
- 7:58Speaker 4: I've heard that. Then again, I hear that a lot
- 8:02Speaker 4: about my primary group chats. I have about four of them. Yeah,
- 8:05Speaker 4: yes I am, I'm a truckle dad. Okay, that's fine. Yeah,
- 8:08Speaker 4: I'm a knuckle tragger. But I do hear that about
- 8:11Speaker 4: my group chats like arm and we're green because of
- 8:13Speaker 4: you or the green bubble. However we use the one
- 8:15Speaker 4: providing some content. It's a trade off. Then again, people
- 8:18Speaker 4: don't probably want that content.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Question then yeah, Harmon.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Stopped texting us. You don't have to respond to everything.
- 8:25Speaker 2: There might be an element of that. You're not the
- 8:27Speaker 2: most egregious to.
- 8:28Speaker 1: There are some people who are just it's agonizing being
- 8:30Speaker 1: in the reply all and the group chat that you
- 8:32Speaker 1: don't want to be part of.
- 8:33Speaker 4: Appreciate that I've worked on that.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 8:35Speaker 4: I've worked on that.
- 8:36Speaker 2: I've shown more restraint recently. No idea. I've worked on that.
- 8:40Speaker 4: I know.
- 8:40Speaker 2: I believe it. I believe it.
- 8:41Speaker 1: But okay, let me ask you this. Do you set
- 8:44Speaker 1: more than one alarm? Because that's the other thing. I
- 8:45Speaker 1: do that, And it's dumb because I said it in
- 8:48Speaker 1: one like this news.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Is like ten.
- 8:51Speaker 1: I think I have it set for ten, eleven, ten
- 8:53Speaker 1: minutes or something, and then the next alarm comes right
- 8:56Speaker 1: behind it. And sometimes I sometimes I'll wake up and
- 8:59Speaker 1: I'm looking at my phone, like what happened last night?
- 9:00Speaker 2: What am I gonna? What am I walking into? Yeah?
- 9:03Speaker 1: And then that in that period between the alarms, and
- 9:06Speaker 1: if I forget to turn off the second alarm, then
- 9:08Speaker 1: it's like, oh, well, bleep, I gotta get up there.
- 9:11Speaker 1: It's rolling through, yeah, and mine all if you need
- 9:13Speaker 1: the second alarm, but I kind of need it. Yeah,
- 9:15Speaker 1: I need it too because mine to get out of
- 9:17Speaker 1: bed and stop looking at the phone.
- 9:18Speaker 3: It tells me hey, buddy at that time. Because mine
- 9:21Speaker 3: are also all different, have different titles, right, so the
- 9:25Speaker 3: first one is nice, well yeah, so if the first
- 9:29Speaker 3: one is hey, wake up that that that fires up
- 9:33Speaker 3: around three forty five, get yourself in here, the very
- 9:36Speaker 3: last one is get the bleep out of bed or
- 9:39Speaker 3: you will be late and you will get fired. Like
- 9:41Speaker 3: that is actually in all caps, just as much of
- 9:44Speaker 3: a line, just to allow yourself.
- 9:46Speaker 4: That's amazing.
- 9:47Speaker 2: Sweet. I guess that's it. I guess that's actually it.
- 9:50Speaker 3: And now, sadly, the one time that I got close
- 9:53Speaker 3: to missing it, this was when it was six to ten, uh,
- 9:56Speaker 3: just for kicks with Armon and Billy on nobs. Uh
- 9:59Speaker 3: was this maybe no November? It was pretty quickly after
- 10:02Speaker 3: we had transitioned. Okay, I remember all that, and Arma
- 10:06Speaker 3: was just you know, taking deep breath hanging out sitting there,
- 10:08Speaker 3: and uh, I got the tap on the shoulder from
- 10:10Speaker 3: my wife as she came down from you know, putting
- 10:13Speaker 3: the little one back down. It's about five forty eight,
- 10:17Speaker 3: five point fifty and she goes, hey, aren't supposed to
- 10:19Speaker 3: be at work, and I rolled over, looked at it
- 10:21Speaker 3: and realized, Yeah, So I grabbed my phone, I didn't
- 10:24Speaker 3: grab my keys, I didn't change my shirt. I walked
- 10:25Speaker 3: straight over to the car, walked down though, and we
- 10:28Speaker 3: I mean we walked in here probably about thirty five
- 10:30Speaker 3: seconds before we started. And I looked over at arm
- 10:33Speaker 3: and I'm like, you don't understand how close you were to.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Do in that whole show.
- 10:35Speaker 1: But you don't understand how close you were to doing
- 10:38Speaker 1: that whole thing by yourself.
- 10:39Speaker 2: But a moment when it fires in, we're ready to roll.
- 10:42Speaker 4: You know what's funny about it is, you know, with
- 10:44Speaker 4: this shift, you do worry about that morrow, and in
- 10:47Speaker 4: theory it shouldn't be any different than the other one.
- 10:48Speaker 4: You get up at a certain time whatever. But man,
- 10:50Speaker 4: I I always not as much now as I'm older,
- 10:54Speaker 4: but always had a paranoia of sleeping in in the
- 10:57Speaker 4: morning show. So because that I could never get to bed.
- 10:59Speaker 4: But to answer your question, because that drew, I set
- 11:01Speaker 4: four alarms. Now I've never gone past number two, but
- 11:04Speaker 4: that's good. That's a place that I want to be.
- 11:06Speaker 4: So I do set multiple alarms. But then it's like,
- 11:09Speaker 4: you know, you don't want to know you had those
- 11:11Speaker 4: alarms because it acts like a snooze button. And then
- 11:13Speaker 4: it's like, you know, I try not to wake up
- 11:16Speaker 4: Laura before I leave, but it's always Then we've had
- 11:18Speaker 4: to establish some rules, like arman, have your keys downstairs,
- 11:22Speaker 4: not on your dressers, so they don't jangle while you're
- 11:25Speaker 4: getting up, because then I get up and it's like, okay,
- 11:27Speaker 4: that's another thing. But four alarms is the way I go.
- 11:30Speaker 4: And I used to make fun of the multiple alarm
- 11:32Speaker 4: people because I used to just tell myself, well, you
- 11:34Speaker 4: already making excuses. I mean, I mean I like you,
- 11:37Speaker 4: I mean, like, are you gonna get up or not?
- 11:39Speaker 2: Like that.
- 11:39Speaker 4: Those alarms are just there for you to snooze. So
- 11:41Speaker 4: but I understand now they're all fail safe. You want
- 11:44Speaker 4: to make sure.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Eight seven seven seven nine seven three. What we've done
- 11:48Speaker 1: today is formed a support group for people in the
- 11:50Speaker 1: five o'clock club. Yes, and just there going in. Yeah,
- 11:53Speaker 1: there are two types of people in the five o'clock club.
- 11:56Speaker 1: People who are willingly awake at this hour.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Talk about it.
- 12:01Speaker 1: We call them the early risers, the insomnia and the
- 12:04Speaker 1: socio pass waiting for the health club to open. And
- 12:07Speaker 1: then there are people who have to be up at
- 12:09Speaker 1: this hour, which is us.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Which is yeah, five o'clock club jets Man.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Number ninety nine.
- 12:19Speaker 4: I don't think he's ever been number one in the
- 12:21Speaker 4: five o'clock clubs.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Well, statman Steve gets up to photograph sunrises and that's
- 12:25Speaker 1: what he's into, and he's a photographer, and that's okay.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Well that's he's a five o'clock clubber by choice.
- 12:33Speaker 4: That's it right there.
- 12:35Speaker 2: That's your alarm. That's it. That's your alarm.
- 12:38Speaker 4: Yeah, good or bad?
- 12:39Speaker 2: What do you? I think? That just sounds like an.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Ice cream truck box, not an alarm clock. I've got
- 12:46Speaker 1: a music box. I opened up, pallerina spinning around.
- 12:50Speaker 4: It does actually right, something a ballerina. Something else sounds
- 12:54Speaker 4: like a music box.
- 12:55Speaker 3: And top and starts to dancing, giddy.
- 13:00Speaker 4: Imagine the sales on that. All right, sorry, back to
- 13:01Speaker 4: the big sales now.
- 13:03Speaker 3: If you want to talk about something that could get
- 13:05Speaker 3: put into action. Don't tempt people around the state of
- 13:09Speaker 3: Wisconsin of an arm and sorry and music boy.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Yeah, that'd be yeah. But Staman seem does it by choice.
- 13:14Speaker 4: It's part of his craft, right, He's got to get
- 13:16Speaker 4: up for Golden Hour.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Well he likes it. Yeah, Golden Hour, I guess golden Now.
- 13:20Speaker 3: I was gonna say, there's two golden hours right in
- 13:22Speaker 3: the afternoon and in the morning.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Sunrise.
- 13:24Speaker 3: We had at Carroll University in my freshman year drew
- 13:29Speaker 3: during some you know a little bit of construction and
- 13:32Speaker 3: renovation that they were doing on the gym and realizing
- 13:35Speaker 3: that you're in there whenever they tell you that you
- 13:37Speaker 3: have the thirty five minutes to be able to use
- 13:39Speaker 3: the weight room or use the gym. Our six am
- 13:42Speaker 3: workout group turned into the five am workout group my
- 13:44Speaker 3: freshman year. That was the most consistently early I had
- 13:48Speaker 3: waken I had woken up at and there there were
- 13:53Speaker 3: thirty five forty of us ended up being thirty five
- 13:55Speaker 3: forty of our best friends. Like really a good group
- 13:57Speaker 3: that we had fun, fun time hike over from the
- 14:01Speaker 3: dorm over to the weight room there at four point
- 14:03Speaker 3: thirty in the morning was always a character building moment.
- 14:07Speaker 3: But there would be that one psychopath and I remember
- 14:09Speaker 3: my buddy Gianni. This dude would wake up an hour
- 14:12Speaker 3: and a half to two hours before the five am
- 14:16Speaker 3: workout geez, simply to start getting the process going right.
- 14:21Speaker 3: Like now, I don't know how many of the people
- 14:22Speaker 3: that are listening to us getting rolling and are waiting
- 14:25Speaker 3: outside of the YMCA. And he's actually the guy I
- 14:27Speaker 3: think of whenever you say the sociopaths waiting outside of
- 14:30Speaker 3: the YMCA in the little vestibule, waiting for them to
- 14:33Speaker 3: unlock the second door. He'd wake up like two hours
- 14:36Speaker 3: early to get a little bit of the pre workout going.
- 14:38Speaker 3: He always had to get in like three or four
- 14:39Speaker 3: games of Call of Duty to really get the blood flow,
- 14:42Speaker 3: get the heart pumping. It was one of the most
- 14:44Speaker 3: craziest things that I've ever seen. As I'm hating every
- 14:47Speaker 3: bit of my life, this dude is in full swing.
- 14:50Speaker 3: He's just wanted to get up and wanted to get
- 14:51Speaker 3: the day roll, wanted to get it started, wanted.
- 14:53Speaker 2: To get it sparked up. And there are a few
- 14:55Speaker 2: folks like that.
- 14:57Speaker 3: I generally would laugh at that t of enthusiasm and
- 15:00Speaker 3: excitement to be up this early.
- 15:02Speaker 2: But it is commendable.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Like that is one thing where you do meet somebody
- 15:06Speaker 3: that just says, all I need to do is mac
- 15:08Speaker 3: collins at get my bare feet on the turf outside
- 15:11Speaker 3: and see that sunrise. That's willpower that I just wish
- 15:14Speaker 3: I had, and maybe at some point in my life
- 15:16Speaker 3: I will get to that maturity.
- 15:17Speaker 4: Well, you have gotten to the point where you've embraced
- 15:20Speaker 4: the sunrise. When we started doing that ship Billy into
- 15:23Speaker 4: the sunrises. Remember you had to make sure you caught
- 15:25Speaker 4: it during the break and all.
- 15:26Speaker 2: That time stuff. I gotta actually start timing that up again,
- 15:28Speaker 2: because you know.
- 15:30Speaker 4: It's it's later and later. Obviously we used to past
- 15:33Speaker 4: six six a m. Sunrise. I don't know what it is,
- 15:35Speaker 4: but yeah, that was always interesting. I mean, after the
- 15:38Speaker 4: pre workout, I knew a guy that got up one
- 15:39Speaker 4: am for a morning show. I'm like, well, what's the point.
- 15:42Speaker 4: Just spend the clock and then go to bed after
- 15:43Speaker 4: the show. Just let's ground. I don't really understand it exactly.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Now, Drew.
- 15:49Speaker 3: I've seen a little bit of the universal time that
- 15:52Speaker 3: people are coming up with. Is this your full universal
- 15:54Speaker 3: time that there was some rumblings and maturations of or
- 15:57Speaker 3: is it kind of a spinoff bad verse version of it.
- 16:01Speaker 2: I'm not sure what you're referring to.
- 16:02Speaker 3: I've seen some different thoughts on it online. But as
- 16:06Speaker 3: to where the u IF daylight savings got just eliminated
- 16:09Speaker 3: across the states?
- 16:10Speaker 2: Not the same as yours of every year.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Both think so known on the same time thing as
- 16:14Speaker 1: a global universal, global universal time.
- 16:17Speaker 3: Okayres been on that. I like that one actually a
- 16:19Speaker 3: lot better than the trouble. Universal time gets rid of
- 16:22Speaker 3: time zones. There's none of this all the way around.
- 16:27Speaker 1: You wouldn't say it's six o'clock on the West coast
- 16:30Speaker 1: and nine o'clock on the East coast, because it would
- 16:32Speaker 1: be the same.
- 16:32Speaker 2: It would just be the same time.
- 16:36Speaker 1: We would pick and we would shift everybody to where
- 16:38Speaker 1: it anywhere in the world. That's what time it is. Sure,
- 16:41Speaker 1: and it might seem upside down and you might have
- 16:43Speaker 1: to go with a twenty four hour clock kind of
- 16:46Speaker 1: versus Sure. So you know, hey, the Brewers, Linda Military
- 16:49Speaker 1: time Brewers are playing the Mariners today at fourteen fourteen
- 16:54Speaker 1: thirty and then okay, so it's fourteen thirty everywhere in
- 16:57Speaker 1: the world at the same time.
- 16:58Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you. It would make plan a
- 17:01Speaker 3: lot easier. It would make it would make the cross
- 17:06Speaker 3: the theory behind it. Conference calls.
- 17:09Speaker 1: My wife does a lot of business with people overseas,
- 17:11Speaker 1: and sure on the phone with people over seas and
- 17:13Speaker 1: sometimes oh, well, sorry, well we have to call.
- 17:15Speaker 2: It's your morning, my night.
- 17:16Speaker 1: But for everybody, it's fourteen or it's seventeen, or it's
- 17:20Speaker 1: the same time, and we know when the wake windows.
- 17:22Speaker 1: And when I suggested this people, you know, people freaked
- 17:25Speaker 1: out and we had a long discussion about it, and
- 17:27Speaker 1: Arman was part of this.
- 17:28Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember that.
- 17:29Speaker 1: But but people were like, I don't want to eat
- 17:31Speaker 1: breakfast at eight at night. Well it would still be morning,
- 17:34Speaker 1: but it would just be you we randomly. People don't
- 17:37Speaker 1: realize that this construct of time that we have is
- 17:39Speaker 1: only like one hundred and fifty years old or something
- 17:41Speaker 1: like that. So it's like, well, why wouldn't it just be.
- 17:44Speaker 2: It wouldn't be fully breaking by the sun dial.
- 17:46Speaker 1: But it's like you, you would just have to wrap
- 17:48Speaker 1: your brain around instead of like I think that's the
- 17:50Speaker 1: part for school starts at eight am or seven am
- 17:53Speaker 1: for kids like it. It might start at fifteen, right
- 17:57Speaker 1: or whatever it might be, but it's not gonna change
- 18:01Speaker 1: your life. It's just the same way I think we
- 18:04Speaker 1: couldn't handle. It just blows people's mind.
- 18:06Speaker 3: I think at some point we would become like roundabouts
- 18:08Speaker 3: where ultimately people would figure it out. Right, at some point,
- 18:11Speaker 3: at some point you'd figure it out. A lot of
- 18:15Speaker 3: a lot of ugly starts, There'll be a lot of
- 18:18Speaker 3: in the middle, a lot of It would be a
- 18:19Speaker 3: bloody process to get there, but we would eventually get there.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Well, and like, are they gonna punt to daylights it?
- 18:25Speaker 1: And probably not this year.
- 18:26Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 18:27Speaker 3: I didn't see and and again this is what happens
- 18:30Speaker 3: in stream of conscious But I'm doing the Carry the
- 18:32Speaker 3: G radio the podcast my friend Aaron Angler today.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Uh and uh.
- 18:36Speaker 3: Man, I struggle with one time zone of Eastern time
- 18:39Speaker 3: to Central time. And if you one and you talk
- 18:43Speaker 3: to people on the East coast, you believe that is
- 18:46Speaker 3: American time, right, like that everybody in America would just
- 18:49Speaker 3: go off what their clock is and then adjust and
- 18:52Speaker 3: do your own math. Right, It's like, why don't you
- 18:54Speaker 3: work around what everybody else does? So Uh, Luckily, that
- 18:58Speaker 3: one's dropping later on this afternoon. Folks are listening looking
- 19:01Speaker 3: for something to ease the time and pass the time
- 19:04Speaker 3: as you wait for packers and broncos coming later on.
- 19:06Speaker 4: Yeah, what a segment. I love this one. That was
- 19:08Speaker 4: Farms time zone.
- 19:09Speaker 2: This is what it was.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Coordinated Coordinated Universal time. Yeah, that's right, Universal Court universe.
- 19:16Speaker 1: We can't do a TC.
- 19:17Speaker 4: We can't get this whole world of humanity to do
- 19:19Speaker 4: the same thing.
- 19:20Speaker 2: How about that?
- 19:20Speaker 1: What if you lived in Like, isn't there Indiana? Like
- 19:23Speaker 1: part of it has daylight sometime part of it doesn't.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Two time zones in a state.
- 19:26Speaker 4: They keeps Chicago Land in Central Time and again like, uh,
- 19:30Speaker 4: I'm going to uh the Upper Peninsula next week for
- 19:34Speaker 4: a bachelor party.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Very excited for that one.
- 19:36Speaker 3: I'm probably gonna be the sleeping guy in the bachelor party,
- 19:38Speaker 3: but that's fine. There's also a casino there. The up
- 19:42Speaker 3: is should be Wisconsin, We've all known that and we
- 19:46Speaker 3: all agree on that. But the state of Michigan is
- 19:49Speaker 3: over here. The up is over here. Tell me why
- 19:52Speaker 3: the up is on Eastern Time while the rest of
- 19:55Speaker 3: the state of Michigan is on Eastern Time. And I
- 19:57Speaker 3: got to do my dang math to be able to
- 19:59Speaker 3: figure out when we're supposed to be there. Almost was late.
- 20:02Speaker 3: It's a week away. I was struggling with that kind
- 20:05Speaker 3: of As we've said before, the UP should be the
- 20:08Speaker 3: traveling trophy in the Packers Lions series.
- 20:10Speaker 2: We play for the rights to the UP every year,
- 20:12Speaker 2: and they just put it on a big on a
- 20:15Speaker 2: big plaqueage.
- 20:17Speaker 1: For this year. Yes, you plant the flag really great.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Now we're going all right? Eight seven seven seven. Brewers
- 20:23Speaker 1: did lose last night, ugly start by Dustin May bullpen held,
- 20:27Speaker 1: they chipped away, fell short. But there was one interesting
- 20:30Speaker 1: aspect of last night's game and we're going to discuss
- 20:32Speaker 1: it as it relates to the Brewers postseason projections and
- 20:36Speaker 1: hopes and dreams.
- 20:39Speaker 2: We will do that. Be ready for hardcore.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Fuck and we'll have Hunters recap of the proceedings last night,
- 20:46Speaker 1: and we'll talk to Hunter today at seven twenty five.
- 20:49Speaker 1: You're in the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew Billion
- 20:54Speaker 1: arm and bringing it to you the Huddle Fox Sports
- 20:56Speaker 1: Radio Wisconsin nine to one, Milwaukee ten seventy Madison everywhere
- 20:58Speaker 1: in the iHeart app, streaming line, Facebook x and YouTube
- 21:01Speaker 1: for all of our five o'clock club members starting to
- 21:06Speaker 1: wake up a little bit, caffeine starting to take effect.
- 21:09Speaker 3: Hey really does start figuring, almost as a tidal wave
- 21:14Speaker 3: takes a surfer from the deep water all the way
- 21:17Speaker 3: through and right as the beat drops. It does feel
- 21:19Speaker 3: like every single break, the caffeine gets a little bit
- 21:23Speaker 3: further and further and further, and then all of a
- 21:24Speaker 3: sudden it's able to send you right into the second
- 21:28Speaker 3: clock run. I was hoping that we were getting there close.
- 21:34Speaker 3: I was running out of different parts and things to say.
- 21:37Speaker 4: The kids want the beat to drop so they can
- 21:38Speaker 4: buy twenty eight dollars Mica Red Bulls. Let's go absolutely, Yeah,
- 21:43Speaker 4: my friends, I got a table over here.
- 21:45Speaker 2: We're good.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Left.
- 21:48Speaker 4: No, these guys here, all the white collar shirts hanging out.
- 21:53Speaker 2: You think they're prop of my collar. Depends on the era,
- 21:56Speaker 2: depends on that.
- 21:57Speaker 4: Maybe they are these days. I don't know.
- 21:58Speaker 2: I hope they are.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Brewers lose seven to five last night, they're down seven
- 22:02Speaker 1: runs after the two winnings.
- 22:04Speaker 4: Baseball guys got us back.
- 22:05Speaker 1: Dustin May Yeah, maybe, uh, an element of that, But
- 22:09Speaker 1: it was one of those things where the brus will
- 22:11Speaker 1: follow this formula before they've down early bullpen holds where
- 22:14Speaker 1: it is, they chip away the woodpecker thing.
- 22:17Speaker 4: They picked us, they pecked us.
- 22:19Speaker 1: Well, and when the Brewers were down, they came back.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Joey Ortiz scrap mister RB I amazing. This guy's poor
- 22:27Speaker 1: RBI for joy fighting most of the offense all right,
- 22:32Speaker 1: but then undercurrentel so it's Dustin May.
- 22:35Speaker 2: Give him a mulligan.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Not a great start, didn't have great control just the
- 22:38Speaker 1: first inning even like there's just something felt off, maybe
- 22:40Speaker 1: ye twenty a hangover from scoring twenty two runs.
- 22:42Speaker 3: Well, and you know, Dustin May has been somewhat susceptible
- 22:45Speaker 3: to that this year when he's when he's blown up.
- 22:47Speaker 3: It's been in that kind of fashion right where it's
- 22:50Speaker 3: a very very short start, you can't control seemingly anything
- 22:53Speaker 3: anybody before you.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Realize what happened, Like Terang had that spinning play that
- 22:57Speaker 1: he usually makes.
- 22:58Speaker 3: Yep, it didn't. It didn't go there, and he made
- 23:00Speaker 3: them walk back in. You're like, wait a second, it's
- 23:02Speaker 3: two nothing already.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
- 23:03Speaker 4: He made the point that a lot of the contact
- 23:05Speaker 4: wasn't necessarily hard.
- 23:06Speaker 2: It wasn't.
- 23:06Speaker 4: It wasn't it was there was it was solid hits and.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Death by paper cuts and bats, kind of bloopers and stuff,
- 23:12Speaker 2: but a.
- 23:12Speaker 4: Lot of Bruers type stuff to be Yeah, Brewers.
- 23:15Speaker 1: So, but the bigger question is as the Bruers were
- 23:18Speaker 1: chipping away and had chances, there were a couple of
- 23:20Speaker 1: circumstances where Cooper Pratt came up with a chance to
- 23:24Speaker 1: do some damage and Luis Lara came up with a
- 23:27Speaker 1: chance to do some damage. He Lara had the three
- 23:30Speaker 1: pitch strikeout.
- 23:31Speaker 3: Which looked about as disappointing as a three pitch strikeout,
- 23:36Speaker 3: like it's it sounds bad and it looked bad in that.
- 23:39Speaker 2: But that's bad.
- 23:40Speaker 1: But then Pratt had a Pratt's circumstances where he was
- 23:45Speaker 1: in a hitter's count and miss pitches and was a bummer.
- 23:48Speaker 2: Yeah, so whereas that the reason they lost?
- 23:52Speaker 4: No?
- 23:52Speaker 1: Could it have you know, changed the game? Sure, those
- 23:54Speaker 1: those moments. Every game is full of moments like that.
- 23:56Speaker 1: We talked about the butterfly fact. But the greater question
- 23:59Speaker 1: is you're counting on rookies to play big roles, and
- 24:03Speaker 1: as you project and start to think about the playoffs,
- 24:06Speaker 1: can you count on Cooper Pratt.
- 24:07Speaker 2: And Luis Laart to not do what they did last night.
- 24:09Speaker 1: They've been hot, they've been great for the most part,
- 24:12Speaker 1: but in big moments, you don't know how anybody's gonna
- 24:15Speaker 1: play really in the playoffs unless they have some kind
- 24:17Speaker 1: of track record. And even then, as we talked about
- 24:19Speaker 1: in the past, the Dodgers a couple of years ago,
- 24:21Speaker 1: it got swept because Bets and Freeman disappeared and it
- 24:24Speaker 1: was like never dark.
- 24:25Speaker 2: So you don't know. But going in, is that plan flawed?
- 24:29Speaker 1: And will people say, well, what were they counting a
- 24:31Speaker 1: rookie sort And I went back and I looked in
- 24:32Speaker 1: Bryce Terenk's first year of being a regular guy. His
- 24:35Speaker 1: rookie year was twenty three, the year they played the Diamondbacks.
- 24:38Speaker 2: Okay, run up and got run out.
- 24:41Speaker 1: And he was like sharing time with Owen Miller and
- 24:43Speaker 1: Monasterio and he played two games and was in the
- 24:46Speaker 1: series and didn't really have didn't really factor in mind,
- 24:49Speaker 1: it wasn't a factor at all. No, But then dom
- 24:53Speaker 1: Our buddy dom Caatronio. He helms the official Brewers the
- 24:57Speaker 1: network post game show or whatever on BRWIS Radio networking
- 25:00Speaker 1: the flagship, and he was getting a lot of He
- 25:03Speaker 1: does stats for BA and Lev he's an all around
- 25:07Speaker 1: good dude friend of the program. Yes, a lot of
- 25:09Speaker 1: the They were in the spotlight last night and he said,
- 25:12Speaker 1: let me remind you Jackson Curio's first two months in
- 25:14Speaker 1: the show with runners in scoring position, he was four
- 25:16Speaker 1: for forty. That's one hundred batting average, sixteen strikeouts, four
- 25:19Speaker 1: walks and seven RBI and forty chances with runners in
- 25:23Speaker 1: scoring positions. Success doesn't come overnight for Rookies' Dom's conclusion,
- 25:27Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, so is the premise flaw. They
- 25:30Speaker 1: got caught with their rookie showing in some key moments,
- 25:32Speaker 1: and that's gonna happen, But they've come through in big moments.
- 25:35Speaker 1: How confident are you about the whole operation? Does that
- 25:38Speaker 1: make you think, well, maybe when Freelick comes back, he'll
- 25:40Speaker 1: be in there.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Would he have been better? Maybe not?
- 25:42Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe maybe not, But in that exact moment, Drew
- 25:47Speaker 3: and the game is built off of just situations and
- 25:50Speaker 3: circumstances that moment, I feel extremely confident in a sal
- 25:54Speaker 3: Freelick base hit, or being able to poke something through
- 25:57Speaker 3: to the right side and find a small little gap
- 26:00Speaker 3: like Laura kind of did later on in the game.
- 26:02Speaker 3: Right a little bit of a chopper that just finds
- 26:04Speaker 3: a nook in the defense and you're able to extend
- 26:07Speaker 3: the inning. The two zero counts in the eighth inning,
- 26:11Speaker 3: it did feel like you were going to call back
- 26:12Speaker 3: to the sixth inning every single time. And then in
- 26:15Speaker 3: the seventh and eighth he gave yourself a lot of
- 26:16Speaker 3: opportunities as well. Like they were around, they had plenty
- 26:20Speaker 3: of chances. It's a frustrating one to see them not
- 26:23Speaker 3: be able to come through. When you look at the
- 26:25Speaker 3: rookies in and of themselves, I think Freelick is absolutely
- 26:29Speaker 3: a part of it, just because of the DNA that
- 26:31Speaker 3: he's shown. That's fair, yes, that being said in the
- 26:35Speaker 3: batter's box, in one of those moments, I expect Luis
- 26:38Speaker 3: Laara to put up a legitate bat. Cooper Pratt not
- 26:41Speaker 3: as much. And I'm trying to also think back to
- 26:44Speaker 3: like twenty eighteen, Orlando Arcia was one of their best
- 26:49Speaker 3: offensive players in the playoffs and he was consistently down
- 26:54Speaker 3: to the bottom of the order. Feels very much, hopefully
- 26:56Speaker 3: like what Joey Ortiz potentially is providing you throughout this one.
- 27:00Speaker 3: It's one of the reasons why you hit the nail
- 27:03Speaker 3: on the head last week of It was disappointing to
- 27:05Speaker 3: not have Pratt around and available to go on the
- 27:09Speaker 3: West Coast string get forty thousand in San Diego, forty
- 27:13Speaker 3: thousand in LA. The juice of those games, those were
- 27:16Speaker 3: playoff like games in a legit atmosphere that is tough
- 27:19Speaker 3: that you can't manufacture that now he's seen everything that
- 27:23Speaker 3: there is to play at home. These Cubs series in
- 27:24Speaker 3: Cubs games are gonna be a big telltale of it.
- 27:27Speaker 3: The tough thing is, Drew, I don't know where else
- 27:29Speaker 3: you necessarily would turn other than the law firm of
- 27:32Speaker 3: Hamilton and Ortiz, and I kind of think that's almost
- 27:36Speaker 3: where Murph is gonna lean, right, Like, as much as
- 27:39Speaker 3: you want to be a development guy and you want
- 27:41Speaker 3: to be able to get these guys a lot of
- 27:43Speaker 3: opportunities and if they're on the team, they're gonna play.
- 27:46Speaker 3: I would be surprised if you don't see more of
- 27:49Speaker 3: the horses that he felt like got him there, and
- 27:52Speaker 3: those being the Ortiz and Hamilton Once this thing turns
- 27:54Speaker 3: to October.
- 27:55Speaker 4: Yeah, there's nuance here. There's no question. I think it
- 27:57Speaker 4: does depend on the guy a little bit because there
- 27:59Speaker 4: are certain guys you never worried about their confidence, Like
- 28:01Speaker 4: I never worried about Brian Bron's confidence in Oh wait,
- 28:04Speaker 4: even though he was a young guy. He always had
- 28:06Speaker 4: confidence in big moments. But but there are but there
- 28:09Speaker 4: are instances of both that veterans come through sometimes don't.
- 28:12Speaker 4: But it would have been nice to have those guys
- 28:15Speaker 4: get the experience in the room.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
- 28:16Speaker 1: I was in the press box when Andrew Jones was
- 28:19Speaker 1: a star in the World Series. You can be a
- 28:21Speaker 1: young team, you can be young, you can do it,
- 28:23Speaker 1: and some guys do. And didn't have any problem with
- 28:25Speaker 1: miss last year. They were kind of protecting him and
- 28:27Speaker 1: he was blowing doors.
- 28:28Speaker 3: Yeah, and and they they saddled him up in Game
- 28:31Speaker 3: five of a winner take all game, and he was
- 28:33Speaker 3: gonna either be the horse that rode him to the
- 28:36Speaker 3: NLCS or the one that you went into the offseason
- 28:39Speaker 3: saying you had to get the experience right. And that's
- 28:41Speaker 3: the toughest part about the development part. And you mentioned
- 28:44Speaker 3: Andrew Jones. It's why I thought if the free if
- 28:47Speaker 3: the terang thing was long term and he was gonna
- 28:50Speaker 3: be out for the remainder of the season, sure you
- 28:53Speaker 3: could go here with Johnny Rockets at second base, but
- 28:55Speaker 3: I think you already know what that is. Yeah, then
- 28:57Speaker 3: you go for the big time lottery ticket and you
- 29:00Speaker 3: see if if Modde could do it, because we've at
- 29:03Speaker 3: least seen you give the special opportunity for somebody that
- 29:06Speaker 3: just might be that kind.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Of a player.
- 29:07Speaker 1: I think Pratt and Laura are going to be great,
- 29:09Speaker 1: but right now and then, of course, the backdrop and
- 29:13Speaker 1: timing being what it is in Norfolk last night, so
- 29:16Speaker 1: Free hit a lead off homer and had an RBI
- 29:18Speaker 1: single and it's like he's looking like he's what more
- 29:21Speaker 1: does he have to prove a triple A? After you know,
- 29:23Speaker 1: a night like that, it's like, well, okay, then you
- 29:25Speaker 1: bring it back. What does it look like? What does
- 29:28Speaker 1: the outfield look like? You're playing him right away to
- 29:30Speaker 1: get him rolling, you continue to play Lara, do you
- 29:32Speaker 1: play him both? And it just like, what does it
- 29:35Speaker 1: look like if you're facing the Dodgers or the Cubs
- 29:39Speaker 1: in a deciding game, Who's who's jogging out there? Who's
- 29:44Speaker 1: jogging out there to start?
- 29:45Speaker 4: Well?
- 29:45Speaker 3: And uh, there was a top point in time when
- 29:47Speaker 3: everyone would just lock in Garrett Mitchell as one of
- 29:50Speaker 3: those guys. Now, he's obviously been the mayor of Slump
- 29:53Speaker 3: City for the month of August, and it's a crowded city,
- 29:56Speaker 3: though very much so population yell Contrarius twas Orte's is
- 30:04Speaker 3: sitting out on the lawn chair being like, you, guys,
- 30:06Speaker 3: enjoy the rooms in there.
- 30:07Speaker 2: That's the thing.
- 30:07Speaker 4: You've got plenty of vets that are struggling, that's the thing.
- 30:10Speaker 1: And then so vets aren't immune to it either. It's
- 30:12Speaker 1: hard to predict what anybody's gonna do.
- 30:13Speaker 2: But do you feel.
- 30:15Speaker 1: More I guess, like blame or like, well, we put
- 30:18Speaker 1: the rookie in that position and he didn't come through.
- 30:20Speaker 2: We were counting on a rookie. Is that flood? I mean,
- 30:22Speaker 2: we just saw the mechanism.
- 30:24Speaker 1: We saw the Packers, you know, kind of like we're
- 30:26Speaker 1: blaming the part of the last three years of playoff
- 30:28Speaker 1: failure on being the youngest team in the leagues football.
- 30:31Speaker 3: But you boasted that right like and when it would
- 30:34Speaker 3: come up, you dump your chest of we're the youngest
- 30:36Speaker 3: team in football and we're developing. And I think the
- 30:38Speaker 3: Brewers prefer to let everybody know we give the young
- 30:41Speaker 3: players the opportunity. We give you everybody the runway. We
- 30:43Speaker 3: give everybody the leash. H Garrett Mitchell two years ago
- 30:47Speaker 3: in the Mets series, he kind of was the everyday guy,
- 30:51Speaker 3: right or was that more of a pinshit opportunity when
- 30:54Speaker 3: he comes up in Game two and lights the world
- 30:56Speaker 3: on fire with the two run shots to put them up.
- 30:59Speaker 3: Jackson Churio was obviously phenomenal in the playoffs and and
- 31:03Speaker 3: that's also he will break the curve for all of
- 31:05Speaker 3: the other rookies because Churio walked in was like the
- 31:08Speaker 3: best postseason player I think we've seen, yeah, right there,
- 31:12Speaker 3: even the Cup series last year when he's got the
- 31:14Speaker 3: hamstring issue and he's pulling it every time he's running
- 31:18Speaker 3: up to first base.
- 31:19Speaker 2: He had like four hits in a three run shot
- 31:21Speaker 2: and too like.
- 31:22Speaker 3: So he was so good that I think you do
- 31:24Speaker 3: believe that everyone will just be able to play it
- 31:27Speaker 3: that way. But I bring up Mitchell now he's got
- 31:29Speaker 3: the sore foot.
- 31:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 31:31Speaker 3: The other thing is Drew we're five and a half,
- 31:33Speaker 3: six weeks away from from the playoffs. I think it's
- 31:37Speaker 3: a spin the wheel and let me know who's there. Like,
- 31:40Speaker 3: especially the last month they have had such a top
- 31:43Speaker 3: Sea Turby run with injuries, right, I can't trust that
- 31:46Speaker 3: any of these guys are getting all the way home.
- 31:48Speaker 3: You sure hope that you are getting healthier at the
- 31:50Speaker 3: end of the year. We already know that's just not
- 31:51Speaker 3: how baseball works, and especially for this team in this year,
- 31:54Speaker 3: they are con perpetually dinged, and it feels like somebody
- 31:58Speaker 3: by the time we get to Aber is not going
- 32:01Speaker 3: to be a part of it, just because they're out
- 32:03Speaker 3: for four to see.
- 32:03Speaker 4: Yeah it was six weeks ago. You just have no
- 32:05Speaker 4: idea what the team. So that's why I think in
- 32:07Speaker 4: the end, you know, we can find examples both ways,
- 32:10Speaker 4: but you just have to stick with who you think
- 32:11Speaker 4: is the healthiest and playing the best in that position
- 32:13Speaker 4: at that time, because young guys have come through, vets
- 32:16Speaker 4: have come through. I mean it also, you know it
- 32:19Speaker 4: felt good to have like Jerry Harrison and Curtis Granderson
- 32:21Speaker 4: and those guys too during that time for steady moments,
- 32:24Speaker 4: But you also knew you're gonna need your best guys
- 32:26Speaker 4: to play well. So I think in the end you
- 32:28Speaker 4: just have to roll with who you think your best
- 32:30Speaker 4: guys are, your most talented, the ones playing the best.
- 32:32Speaker 4: End to your point, Billy the healthiest, because you know,
- 32:35Speaker 4: the youth thing can be an experience thing, can be
- 32:38Speaker 4: an important thing, but it can also be an excuse
- 32:40Speaker 4: to why you didn't play well. I mean, I could
- 32:42Speaker 4: think all day, like, if Devin Williams didn't knock his
- 32:45Speaker 4: hand into the wall and play the year before, what
- 32:47Speaker 4: do you have given up to save the year after?
- 32:49Speaker 2: I really have no idea.
- 32:50Speaker 4: You might be able to tell yourself, well, that experience
- 32:52Speaker 4: would have helped him, but it might not have helped
- 32:54Speaker 4: him make a better pitch in that situation, or not
- 32:55Speaker 4: tip or whatever you want to say. Sometimes you just
- 32:58Speaker 4: got to roll with the guys you have and hope
- 33:00Speaker 4: for the best. Guyardo had great games okay in the
- 33:03Speaker 4: playoffs in old wait you know, and or down the
- 33:06Speaker 4: stretch closed to oh wait when when he came off
- 33:08Speaker 4: that injury, and then again at eleven. You know, really
- 33:12Speaker 4: good players have had slumps in the playoffs. We talk
- 33:14Speaker 4: about yelling. Sometimes you just don't know. So I think
- 33:17Speaker 4: rolled your best and you're healthiest at that time.
- 33:20Speaker 2: That's what. Uh well, that's the question. Who are their best?
- 33:23Speaker 2: You know that I mean.
- 33:25Speaker 3: And one of the leaders of the Sal Freelick Hate Club,
- 33:28Speaker 3: I wonder if he believes that salth Freelick would ever
- 33:31Speaker 3: get himself into that conversation.
- 33:33Speaker 4: Well, Sal's hitting better at the in the middle of
- 33:36Speaker 4: September than Garrett is. I think you have to think
- 33:38Speaker 4: of it. He had a big homer in the playoffs
- 33:40Speaker 4: in Game three. Jake Bowers has to play in the playoffs,
- 33:43Speaker 4: and that that that's one guy.
- 33:44Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think Jake power is gonna be pretty much.
- 33:47Speaker 4: But so there are some guys, you know, like all right,
- 33:50Speaker 4: like Andrew Bomb might not get at bad because I
- 33:53Speaker 4: can't sit Jake Bowers because of what he's done this
- 33:56Speaker 4: year and what he's done the playoffs last year. So
- 33:58Speaker 4: I guess there's a little experience bias heaping into my mind.
- 34:01Speaker 4: But that's the reality of it.
- 34:02Speaker 3: Well, and you know Lockridges all gets optioned back down
- 34:05Speaker 3: at some point. You know, Mur's gonna want to get
- 34:07Speaker 3: lockerage back probably. You know he's gonna wine Breckinridge around.
- 34:11Speaker 2: Gonna go on a heater in Triple A, and then
- 34:13Speaker 2: they'll bring him back, bring him back. Come on. It's
- 34:15Speaker 2: just the thought I had last night. Because are you
- 34:16Speaker 2: comfortable with that? And are you ready?
- 34:18Speaker 1: Because you know, rookies can sink or swim. Sometimes they'll
- 34:21Speaker 1: surprise you. Sometimes you'll you'll say, oh, if we only
- 34:23Speaker 1: we'd had a more experienced player there.
- 34:25Speaker 2: And this is where the people the Greek chorus will
- 34:27Speaker 2: say they should have gone and gotten a bat at
- 34:29Speaker 2: the deadline, and they didn't do it. Well, there were
- 34:30Speaker 2: no bats really out.
- 34:31Speaker 1: That was the toughest thing it was, and you got
- 34:34Speaker 1: you went for the best players school the ten teams
- 34:36Speaker 1: hovering around three below five hundred in the American League
- 34:39Speaker 1: that think they're in it when they were legitimately are
- 34:41Speaker 1: and they didn't want to deal.
- 34:42Speaker 2: So it was like, well it wasn't a wasn't a robust.
- 34:45Speaker 3: Why we need the old August thirty first trade, then yeah,
- 34:49Speaker 3: that would be sweet. That The other part about the
- 34:51Speaker 3: waiver one is they were almost always good players well,
- 34:55Speaker 3: and that like legit contract, legit dudes moving teams late.
- 34:59Speaker 1: There was the asidural thing where like everybody in baseball
- 35:02Speaker 1: after the July thirty first deadline would go through through
- 35:04Speaker 1: would go through waivers. And then obviously you wouldn't put
- 35:07Speaker 1: in acclaim on Jackson Churio because you know, the Brewers
- 35:10Speaker 1: were pulling back. So it was like folly, but they
- 35:12Speaker 1: had to do it procedurally, but throw them all through
- 35:14Speaker 1: and yeah, wild.
- 35:16Speaker 3: That was one of my favorite things. I remember Alex
- 35:18Speaker 3: Rios getting moved at the death at the waiver trade deadline.
- 35:21Speaker 3: Somebody picked up the contract. They're like, oh my god,
- 35:22Speaker 3: it picked up three years and sixty million dollars White
- 35:25Speaker 3: Sox Wake, thank.
- 35:26Speaker 2: You very much. Yeah, thank you, thank you, appreciate you,
- 35:29Speaker 2: thank you very much.
- 35:30Speaker 4: But you could get good players to your point. That's
- 35:32Speaker 4: three get.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Real names, no doubt about it.
- 35:34Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll hear Hunter Bombguard's recap of
- 35:38Speaker 1: the proceedings. Last night, BRS lose seven five. They'll try
- 35:40Speaker 1: to win the series this afternoon. The rubber match starts
- 35:42Speaker 1: at one ten at American Family Field. You're in the huddle,

- 35:51Speaker 1: Billy and Arman. You can join us eight seven seven
- 35:54Speaker 1: seven nine four one ninety seven three. Nicolay laudt Co.

- 36:10Speaker 3: Well, and it really is its own own full conversation
- 36:13Speaker 3: rolling on in the Commers show, which is a beautiful
- 36:16Speaker 3: place to be able to hang out and just converse
- 36:18Speaker 3: in Arman always talks about having a communal experience. Yeah,
- 36:21Speaker 3: that's a good thing to be able to find, right,
- 36:23Speaker 3: and this ever changing landscape and world we're in, that's right,
- 36:27Speaker 3: that's right. Uh.
- 36:28Speaker 1: Our man Hunter Bombguard boots on the ground at American
- 36:31Speaker 1: Family Field last evening as the Birds lost seven to five,
- 36:34Speaker 1: and he will be joining us live today at seven
- 36:37Speaker 1: twenty five ish. But let's take a listen to Hunter's
- 36:41Speaker 1: recap of last night's proceedings. Take it away, young man.
- 36:45Speaker 5: Thanks guys. Brewers fall last night seven to five of
- 36:47Speaker 5: the Seattle Mariners. Dustin May unfortunately with a rough couple
- 36:51Speaker 5: of innings on the mound in his first two starts
- 36:53Speaker 5: at a bruise uniform thirteen innings, three earned runs total,
- 36:56Speaker 5: but then he gave up seven earn runs in two
- 36:58Speaker 5: innings last night in his start. He assessed the start
- 37:01Speaker 5: after the game.
- 37:02Speaker 6: There was a lot of stuff that I could have
- 37:03Speaker 6: executed better. But this is one of those outings where
- 37:07Speaker 6: like you can't be super frustrated with yourself just because
- 37:10Speaker 6: you didn't really give up any hard contact on stuff,
- 37:12Speaker 6: so like you were still beating guys, but they're just
- 37:15Speaker 6: putting it where we mark.
- 37:16Speaker 5: Time now after he exited the bullpen through seven shutout
- 37:19Speaker 5: innings and kept the Brewers in it, and they kept
- 37:22Speaker 5: fighting and clawing back. Joey Ortiz with four runs driven in,
- 37:26Speaker 5: including a two run home run. The guy's hitting three
- 37:28Speaker 5: sixty four in August. He cannot be stopped. But unfortunately Luis,
- 37:32Speaker 5: Laura and Cooper Pratt up in big moments, couldn't quite
- 37:35Speaker 5: come through. All a learning experience for them. BIRS manager
- 37:38Speaker 5: Pat Murphy talked about the youthful at bats by those
- 37:42Speaker 5: two in those situations.
- 37:44Speaker 7: He's a young player, you know, just like Laura and
- 37:47Speaker 7: the bases loaded situation.
- 37:48Speaker 2: You know, it's.
- 37:50Speaker 7: It's really unfortunate. He let the pitch before that might
- 37:54Speaker 7: have been a ball. We were out of challenges. Another
- 37:56Speaker 7: tough thing he pitched before that might have been a ball,
- 37:59Speaker 7: don't know, but he let that really bother him. Then
- 38:03Speaker 7: we went to the next pitch and he wasn't his
- 38:05Speaker 7: focus check Swain, you know, again, that's a youthful mistake.
- 38:09Speaker 7: He came back the next time and had a great
- 38:10Speaker 7: at bat. So Pratt's last two at bats just left
- 38:15Speaker 7: his own and left his own.
- 38:16Speaker 5: Also last night, unfortunately, Jake Bauers did not get on base,
- 38:18Speaker 5: so his twenty game on base streak comes to an end.
- 38:21Speaker 5: But the Brewers, we'll go for the series win today
- 38:23Speaker 5: one to ten. First pitch on the mound for the Brewers,
- 38:25Speaker 5: Robert Gasser. Also, Garrett Mitchell was out last night with
- 38:28Speaker 5: a sore foot. They're going to reassess today to see
- 38:30Speaker 5: if he can go in the series finale. This report
- 38:33Speaker 5: brought to you by import Minded, your trusted choice for
- 38:35Speaker 5: exceptional vehicle care, on Sound twenty seventh, just north of
- 38:37Speaker 5: eight ninety four. I'll join you guys at seven twenty
- 38:39Speaker 5: five to talk more about the crew.
- 38:41Speaker 2: Back to you guys, thank you. Hunter looked forward to
- 38:44Speaker 2: catching up with you in a couple hours.
- 38:46Speaker 3: And for Dustin may Drew a cat that has definitely
- 38:52Speaker 3: and obviously great stuff, maybe gets away from times you
- 38:57Speaker 3: could tell though last night he was about as confounded
- 39:01Speaker 3: on the mound as he was there. He's still trying
- 39:03Speaker 3: to grab uh grass his mind as to how did
- 39:06Speaker 3: that happen and how did all those little bleeders find
- 39:08Speaker 3: their way through. And how did the Mariners get all
- 39:11Speaker 3: the Josh Naylor like hits Like the last one that
- 39:14Speaker 3: he had, which was the softest looping fly ball that
- 39:17Speaker 3: you're gonna find. It felt like they had seven of
- 39:19Speaker 3: those last night, as they cashed in almost all of
- 39:21Speaker 3: them right away. That's pretty good Naylor hits. Josh Naylor
- 39:26Speaker 3: is an interesting cat. It sounds like Josh Naylor is
- 39:28Speaker 3: not the most beloved guy in the places that he's gone.
- 39:31Speaker 3: John Boy had a phenomenal one of him with some
- 39:33Speaker 3: Cleveland Guardians players of the one catcher being like, Bro,
- 39:36Speaker 3: no one even likes you.
- 39:38Speaker 2: I find this, no one even likes this.
- 39:40Speaker 4: I gotta build some anger toward them today.
- 39:42Speaker 2: Yeah I can. I can help you out. It's a
- 39:44Speaker 2: good one. It's a good one.
- 39:45Speaker 3: But we do it. We do like his brother Bo
- 39:47Speaker 3: like we like his brother both. He can He's one
- 39:50Speaker 3: of the only good Canadians.
- 39:52Speaker 2: So you can that Canadian. How do I not like
- 39:56Speaker 2: the Canadian?
- 39:58Speaker 3: I'm a big bow guy. Also, the the one reason
- 40:00Speaker 3: why Josh Naylor is an interesting cat. He's one of
- 40:02Speaker 3: the fluffier guys in Major League Baseball, but he's also
- 40:05Speaker 3: like top five in the American League and steals, so.
- 40:08Speaker 4: He's like, he's got good athleticism for a big guy.
- 40:11Speaker 2: I liked it.
- 40:11Speaker 3: Also very deceptive, right lakesfielder, he gets over to first base,
- 40:16Speaker 3: You're like, okay.
- 40:16Speaker 1: He's boy is definitely not running. He's listed at five ten,
- 40:19Speaker 1: two thirty five.
- 40:23Speaker 3: He's a biscuit shy at two sixty from what it
- 40:25Speaker 3: looks like little fodder guys for thought as we head
- 40:28Speaker 3: to the next hour into the break here, Dustin May's
- 40:30Speaker 3: obviously been really good for the Brewers. You know, last
- 40:32Speaker 3: night was his first dud, but he does pitch to
- 40:34Speaker 3: a lot of contact, high whip, always has been there.
- 40:38Speaker 3: Does that concern you come playoff time and get all
- 40:39Speaker 3: those guys on base?
- 40:40Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 40:41Speaker 3: In the back of your mind, you know it is
- 40:44Speaker 3: well in him, and it's it's kind of saying that
- 40:48Speaker 3: after his first two starts, does it feel like him
- 40:50Speaker 3: and Harrison for the last spot though, if you if
- 40:52Speaker 3: you shrink it down to three, maybe because it's kind
- 40:54Speaker 3: of those those two, because it feels like Logan Henderson's
- 40:57Speaker 3: gonna be a hard one.
- 40:58Speaker 2: To pull out. Piggybacking. Do some piggybacking more. We'll give
- 41:01Speaker 2: it three weeks, and we'll see how much we like
- 41:02Speaker 2: any of you.
- 41:03Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, all right, first hours in the books. Let's
- 41:07Speaker 1: welcome the six o'clock clubbers.
- 41:09Speaker 2: Be nice.
- 41:09Speaker 1: Five o'clockers plenty. Are room on our train. You're in
- 41:12Speaker 1: the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin,
