  Speaker 6: of our show as they are worrying about where the

  Speaker 6: Brewers are going to be on my cable dial.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because that there's big worry out there, Drew, Big
• 3:11

• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Actually, you're right.
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: I should probably empathize with that a lot more, seeing
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: as I do feel seen a lot more as that's
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: going to be. Hey, you know, I don't know where's
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: my candy bar. I need to have my candy bar.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: I was supposed to get a free candy bar. I
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: don't have it, So you're right, I shouldn't call them
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: babies and they want over their Brewer game.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: The tough thing is and I got. I don't know
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: that I got Hunter a little bit riled up about it,
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: but I did. I did try to stoke the flavor a.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: Little, which is not like Hunter's thing is to get
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: real fun at all out of his gorge.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Which made it even more fun, right, because it made
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: more fun to see how you can rattle the cab
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: because Drew like, it's not that I I'm not worried
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: that they're gonna be on TV now. I'm also a
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: YouTube TV subscriber. Well, right, so they haven't been on
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: my package for a long time.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: No pause.
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: So you're pat You're yes, Paul, you you're streaming anyway? Yeah,
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: And I've I've I've streamed for a while.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: I have MLB TV uh now for work reasons, investment reasons,
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: and and it actually is gonna be even easier for
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: me because I'm gonna be able to do the one
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: thing that I like on cable and on YouTube TV. Oh,
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: I can flip through different games without exiting the app,
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: So that part of it's gonna be nice. So I
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: don't I haven't been in the they're on channel thirty one, right,
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: They're on channel thirty one a while, but now they're
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: not gonna be on channel thirty one, So what are
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: the Channel thirty two?
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: So I because I've been battling it with not even
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: my my folks, they're they're uh snowbirding. They'll figure it
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: out there good. There's a lot of people that'll figure
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: it out. There's a lot of grandparents that are in
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: nursing homes that watch every single Brewers game a different level, right,
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Like I think of when uh we got honored to
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: talk to counts after they clinched an eighteen like the
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: first time they really were into the playoffs. He said
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: that He's like, I'm thinking of all the people in
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: a nursing home that are watching Brewers baseball every night.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I know we made them proud, right, so now there's
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: not going to be that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: I think of my late grandmother who we literally had
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: to write it on the back of the TV remote
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: onto the table on the night table that she would
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: put the remote, and then also in a big, big
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: old piece of paper right next to her.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: They said, this is the channel the Brewers are on,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: which it means a lot to them because they look
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: forward to something every day. So it's just comfort and
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: like it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Maybe the biggest break, uh breaking the glass for that
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: was when again money gets involved, negotiations happened, and freaking
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: channel four is on channel two. You want to talk about,
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: like that is a really that is a real breaker.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: So CBS fifty eight its channel five, Channel five.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Like so I get I get the confusion, I get
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: the frustration. I do, though, actually really empathize with the
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Brewers of saying, man, we got palms up right now.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: We wish we would be able to give you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: More information, but Frankly Drew, they just can't because major
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: League Baseball is it all it is.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: It's a little strange and it's a.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Weird, weird conundrum to be in where you don't where
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: the guy, Yeah, I gotta wait for the and the
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: guy that's telling me the answers, he actually doesn't have
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: the answers, and he feels kind of bad that he doesn't.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Rick Sussinger, here's one for you.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: Because I'm a I'm a Spectrum Sir subscriber, have been
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: for a while, still getting the bundle.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I've I've thought about everybody though. You save money, you
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: get more of it.
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I got enough streaming stuff. I've been got a talk.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they provide my internet and I'm happy with that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: So I'm riding along with the cable package right along.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: So I'm riding along. But yeah, to me, I get
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: it through the app because I don't want a clunky
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: box in my self.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: And there's no I haven't had access to. I don't
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: have a DVR.
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: DVR is still a thing.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: Because for some people, I'm like, oh, I'm not gonna
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: be able to watch the game live, I'll DVR it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: I'll watch it later. That's not an option for me anymore.
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: I know it is on YouTube TV. You got like
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: unlimited recording.
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: The show is probably the number one thing that my
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: wife missed about cable when I when I told her,
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: I I just stream Now, you know, she's like and
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: you know, like she like recording Rabbity ears. Who knows, though,
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: I'm starting to think people are going to go back
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: to cable with the way streaming is and things like this.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: It might just be easier, might just be as cost effect.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: You gave after she moved in to get cable, No brother,
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: I convinced her every which way I could that we
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: don't need it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Now. It helps because hold on this way.
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: It helps because you know, I got a nice I
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: got a nice wide network of loggins that I used.
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: It's like a spider web, all right. I'm using mom
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: and Dad's login, I'm using everybody. So the only reason
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: it works is because my parents still feeling television from
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: other people. I didn't steal anything. Well, I guess, yeah,
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: I guess you could say that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: But subscribers, such a boy scout here is admitting the crimes.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: On crime on the air. That is what they're doing
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: But my point is, I think we're going to be
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: coming to a point where it's time to just go
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: back to cable. I think we're coming to that point again.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we've reverse engineered to the point where everybody, you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: all these ways to save money, just doesn't you end
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: up paying the same amount.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: Well that's the thing, like you Tube putting it at
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: different buckets to me, YouTube TV is can I.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Agree with you?
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: It's a cable provider that streams right, like it's it's
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: not a local spectrum, but like they got every channel
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: that I possibly could want, and like, I like the way.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: That it did. It's distributed.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: And then there's there's this though, because uh, my wife
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: we got new cell phones and Verizons started offering channels
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: like through your cell phone, so she started like canceling
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: subscriptions that I had that I was paying for, which
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: is great. I like the saving money and getting stuff
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: for free. But then the passwords change and you never
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: get back in the groove of ever what is this?
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: And then you're locked out of apps when you want
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: to watch the worst plus just oh it's teeth. How
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: many times you've been tempted to just throw the remote
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: through the flat screen. It's just password hell, and like, oh,
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: I got to log.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Into this again. I want to watch the Badgers on Peacock. Well,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: we're gonna get free now, so we have to change
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: it so it doesn't work, So reload that. What's the password?
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: What's the new account?
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Thing?
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: Like? Well, twice factor out that he and it email me.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: I really think more than the money that that's the
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: worst part of it these days.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: The experience is all that stuff. So we've gone through this.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I really believe that.
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: But I want to ask you guys about what Dobbler said.
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: I've heard a couple of people say this thing as well.
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: In one form or another. He goes as if fans
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: are watching all nine innings on TV anyway, TV stats
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: for otherwise, just do.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: It as transplant fans do. Next morning.
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: MLB YouTube game recamps, they average about ten minutes. What
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: do you guys think about that? A guy on Twitter
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: Ridy killed me and said, who the hell needs to
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: watch one hundred and sixty games?
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Anyway?
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: I'm like, Oh, a lot of the people that have
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: to Some people enjoy watching baseball games.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, does everyone watch the whole Packer game. Yeah,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I guess the idea is that there are less of them,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: but I can into the fourth quarter where they're puking
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: on their shoes. Just watch, Just watch NFL Primetime, right,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: it's like the Bucks.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: Just watch the final second half of them replay. When
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: you realize that anything, why I have a meal every
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: day you're paying for it? Why why cook your hot dog?
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: Just eat out of the package. But I I I
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: love their their recaps, and it's been one of the
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: reasons again, one of the reasons why I love the
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: package that MLB has. Now they have some of those
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: on YouTube as well, but they put the condensed games
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: up onto that MLB TV for every single game of
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: the of the baseball calendar. And again, maybe it's just
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: that I'm a sicko, right like that, I want to
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: watch a number of it and as much of it
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: as possible.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: But I don't.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: I don't hate and I'm not as mad at the
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: folks that are questioning it because I want I understand
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: the question. Like uh, our friend Leon said, man, cable's
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: really good until it goes out. Well, everything's gonna go out, right,
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: the Internet's gonna go out. Your antenna is gonna go
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: out the fridge. Anything, there's gonna be an issue with
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: it at some particular point in time.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: But for for the Brewers one in particular, and people
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: are not gonna like this.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: It's much more impactful because it's the Brewers than the Box,
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: right Like, if this would have if this death to
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: the regional sports networks that we've known has been happening
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: for a while, right Like, it's been a slow burn
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: here to the point where sixteen of the thirty teams
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: in Major League Baseball the league is producing their game yep,
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: and and some of like the biggest markets in the
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: in the country, Braves TV is a thing now it's
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: no longer TV. Yes, Crazy have one as well are
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: anymore And they had one of the biggest television contracts
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: anywhere in the Midwest. So it's it's a part of
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: the changing landscape in it. And I know this isn't
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: gonna be an easy one too. There's gonna be like
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: a two year situation, right Like, this is gonna be
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: a two fixed until Major League Baseball goes and sells
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: all of the television rights, and then we're gonna have
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: it a lot clearer. Then you are gonna pay for ESPN.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: If you want to watch Brewers games right like to
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: sc or, then it will be paying for a They've
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: got their pause out YouTube one. All of these different
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: streamers are waiting for and Amazon is waiting with baited
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: breath to be able to buy the control of these
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: these games and the distribution to it. So I know
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: it's frustrating. I got bad news for you. It's not changing,
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: like it's gonna get worse before it gets better. But
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: this year it shouldn't be the worst. It's gonna be right.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: We're gonna get games. You just have to wait until
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: maybe they throw the first pitch on Fox six in
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: Milwaukee or on your local Fox affiliate across the state
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: of Wisconsin. Before we know, you know what channel turns
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: on ten minutes before first pitch.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Eight seven seven three. Hot takes time. It's hot takes time.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: Breaking news from Kevin Seffert, friend of the program of
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: Minneapolis UH. The Minnesota Sports and Events Commission has submitted
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: a formal bid to host the twenty twenty eight NFL.

  Speaker 3: Draft in the Twin Cities. There you go around US
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Bank Stadium.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: The NFL typically selects sites two years out, so an
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: answer could come within months.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: You have been there a lot more recently than I.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: There's not a huge area around us Banks, a lot
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: of empty space. Yeah, to create the village like they
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: did around Land. Get sure that's what it'll be.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: It isn't you know. It's a northern climate. But we
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: were too.
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: We were lucky and blessed, Thank you Lord for some
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: great weather when we had it. I think they had
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: they had the infrastructure. With all the things going on,
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: it probably makes sense to have it there.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: I would be in my hot tech would be I'd
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: be more excited to go there than anywhere else but Lambeau.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't go to Detroit. I wouldn't go to Chicago
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: for a draft, but I would probably go to the
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: Twin Cities.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I would go to Minneapolis. Yep, I'm with you on
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: that one.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: We'll say Detroit's got a nice courtyard. Though when I
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: went to ford Field it wasn't too bad.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: But you're right.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: I think I agree it'd be a good place to go.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: They also have a criminal casino off there just robs
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: people about. There's a little worse, but for minutes soda.
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: There's also a lot of in and out opportunity with
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: their with their mass transit going right to exactly to
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: the stadium, which is good. It's also one of the
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: strange and I don't like saying all these nice things
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: about Minnesota. It's one of the biggest cities that doesn't stink.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Is that fair? Right?
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: Like true physically the physical city that emanates from big
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: cities at top ten markets in the country and you know,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: massive montropolis, that's one that it doesn't do.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: Dang, I'd never thought of that, but I guess you
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: have a good It really doesn't reek there like garbage.
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: I wonder if that's because, I mean, it's it's up
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: north to maybe frozen. It's two cities, so maybe it's
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: because it's not one one big one, And I don't know.
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: I mean, did they have the industry of you know,
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: you know, manufacturing that a lot of the other Rust
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: belt cities did.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: Maybe well that contributed to it. That'd be pretty cool though.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: So twenty twenty eight, Minnesota could have the draft. They
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: could be drafting another franchise quarterback because Tyler Murray, his
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: five nine self, is no longer playing there. JJ McCarthy
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: is in the UFL and Carson Wentz is coming off
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: of his ninth season ending surgery in four years, so
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: like that would be uh, that'd be a great time
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: to circle the wagons for the Minnesota Vikings to be
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: drafting another flame ount franchise quarterback.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I like that opportunity, like.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: That eight seven seven hot take, comete hot take. Yeah,
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: you can say he deserved it, But Carolina cutting ties
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: with Hubert Davis seems a little unseemly. I thought to myself,
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: he's part of the North Carolina family.
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: Imagine being part of the family and taking them to
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: the final four, beating Duke. Now, they didn't win, beating
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: Duke in the final four, beating Duke in the final four,
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: and I know they gave up a lead to lose
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: a national championship, But boy, you beat Duke in the
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: final four, and that's what happens just because you lost.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Now, was it because of the Urst press conference he
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: gave it afterwards? I'm not sure.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: Sounds like they had a meeting to ask about his
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: future plans to to prevent what happened or what his
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: plan was, and.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: He didn't like it. So that was hell.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that was like the last straw was losing when
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: he did, and then people say, well, look they fired him,
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: what about Craig? Then okay, that's still a blue blood job.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: What does that mean if Bill self has some health problems?
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: And for those who are want t j Otzberger to
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: come to Wisconsin to replace greg guard, Gregar didn't getting
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: fired not getting starters because that again I talked about it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: I can think of eight million reasons off the top
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: of my head. Whyle he's not but he doesn't deserve
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: to be fired and the help Yeah, in my estimation.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: But then like would t j Otzeberger, People say, well
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: he could slide over to Kansas. We could have two
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: Wisconsin guys right and running the Jayhawks Rock Chalk Jayhawk,
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: right TJ and Lance Leipold. Yeah, and it And then
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: like would TJ be the North Carolina job? If they
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: want to go outside the family and break ties and
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: you know how and hires we always talk about, you
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: get the opposite, Well, they've been in the family and
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: had to have a North Carolina guy. Well maybe it's
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: done for a fresh outlook and somebody from outside the
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: I think you're spot on echo road. So that those
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: if those two jobs open. Well, North Carolina is now open.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: That's that's going to draw some marquee talent.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: To me, Drew, It's it's very similar to the college
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: football coaching circles this year, where all of a sudden
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: it became the LSU job is available.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Holy cow, that's one of the best jobs around. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: The Michigan jobs available. That's a pop ten job in
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: the country.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Like all of these great gigs started popping up and
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: then leave Ole miss Oh wow, they're in the college
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: football playoff. That seems like a top fifteen job and
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: you just bailed. You keep funneling down further and further
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: in the pecking order. That like, if you're going to
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: go for the hot candidate, you're gonna get the hot candidate.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: That's everybody's ninth choice, and I don't know that that's
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: worth In the Guard estimation, it was eight million dollars
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: for Luke Fickle. This year, it was almost thirty, right, Like,
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: so you have to make some real concessions and some
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: financial decisions that people might say, well, yeah, got the money.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: That might be true.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: That might be true, But if we want to have
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: the money to then play the pay the players right,
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: ultimately are going to win the games. I want to
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: use it right. We might want to be able to
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: use that one right. Carolina get this from John Ross
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: scene yesterday. They were twenty four and six on March fifth,
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: getting ready to get their best player, Caleb Wilson back
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: against Duke Well. Wilson suffers a season ending injury during
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: practice that afternoon. The tar Heels do not win a
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: game the rest of the season, and nineteen days later,
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Hubert Davis is out of a job. It sounded like
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: they were legit just doing what LSU was doing, though
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: with Brian Kelly it was as close it was clear
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: it was done Bubba Cunningham, who was famous for his
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: NCAA tournament exploits to get them into the tournament last year.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: Oh yes, I didn't do any of that. I actually
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: walked out of the room when we were talking about
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Carolina and he didn't let the batters in Milwaukee because
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: he didn't like one of the fans or something like that.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: I had nothing to do with my team as the
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: chair of the NCAA selection committee being the last team
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: in when they jumped all of the last four out
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: or first four out.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: But that that's neither here nor there.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Rostein put together the key buyout numbers for the Carolina job.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Drew, do you want to hear some of the main
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: targets here?
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: Sure?
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Tj Ozilberger at four million dollars is the lowest of
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: the one. Dusty May seven and a half.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Million at Michigan, Wisconsin's own Nate Oates at Alabama has
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: a ten million dollar buyout that triggers on April first.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: Tommy Lloyd at Arizona. I don't know why in hell
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: he would leave Arizona for eleven million dollars and uh
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: DM's finest Todd Golden at sixteen million.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: There now, I do think Todd Golden though in mid April,
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: his bio goes down to eleven, so they contract around
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: a little bit.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: A couple of weeks it goes down to it they
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: could save five mil. I just think these coaches have
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: good lawyers now. They know schools aren't loyal.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: There, and they also know, like if you're Todd Golden's
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: agent and you hear Hubert's out, oh.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: We got to come back to the table. We're gonna
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: need a little something. We're gonna need something.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: You're almost never a made managing extension. Let's go because
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: this is the time. So that's where the tectonic plates shift.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: And it's like, guys, even the threat of them leaving
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: causes the oh, you need more money for your assistance,
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: Here you go. You need more more money, you want
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: to fly private to recruit, Here you go. I don't
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: think I get that last squeeze.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: No agent got coaches more money than the Nebraska football
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: job got coaches money this year.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: True. I mean they got like seven guys extensions from
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: when they were trying to.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: Hire everybody in anybody away, whether it was Kalanisataki from BYU.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: They make the well Matt rules, he can't go. Matt rule,
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: can't go anywhere. He's not going to Penn State. Penn
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: State was just giving everybody cash for giving an interview
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: with the ideas.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: It's the nature of college sports boosters, administrations, fan bases.
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: They're constantly worried about losing a guy and constantly worried
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: about having to keep a guy.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: It's just so crazy how it works.
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: And I think he wentz. He overreacted. The injury thing
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: was the big factor, obviously. I think he's I don't
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: know if he's the best coach ever, but I think
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: he definitely was better than this. And now they have
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: to hope that they're going to find the right guy.
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: They think that they're North Carolina, We're gonna get everybody. Well,
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: Indiana has the same problem. They think we're Indiana, that
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: the best coaches in the world are gonna want to
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: come see us.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Now different.
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: Now it's different, And I don't want anyone different that
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: goes to North Carolina to hear me say that, because
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: they're gonna be breaking down my house saying, how dare
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: you say we're Indiana.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: But but they better make sure they had the right guy.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: Carolina is the only school and the only brand in
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: the country that has taking a normal color and people
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: only yes.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Carolina blue. That's a fair point. I mean, like that
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: is a that is a different brand.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: And you talk about the blue bloods, and North Carolina
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: might be the bluest of the blue bloods. Like that
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: is it's a it is one of the top three
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: or four jobs in the world. I get it, You're
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: and uh, it's gonna have a lot of people and
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: a lot of eyes. I wonder if it'll have Doc Rivers.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: They're talking about Brad Stevens. Doc would love that job.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: You think Doc would like that job? Think, well, if
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: he wants the coach, who wouldn't want that?
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: Jillie don Ilicheck together like run all the show.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: God, Yes, Billy Donovan's names coming up, But Tony Bennett's
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: not doing anything.
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: Just say, every Carolina fan things they can get whoever
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: they want. That's true, Well we can get Brad Stevens.
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: Would Tony Bennett be a turncoat for Virginia fans?
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: When we come back our halftime correspond halftime of our
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: show today, halftime of the week, So halftime hits harder
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: on Wednesday because it's halftime of the week and the show.
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: Scott Dolphin from the Country Station down the Hall will
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: pop in. You're listening to the huddle, Fox Sports Radio,
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: Wisconsin Radio Wisconsin nine to twenty, Milwaukee ten seventy, Madison,
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: everywhere in the iHeart apps, streaming live, Facebook X and YouTube.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: And if you're watching us right now, you see Scott
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: Dolphin from the country station down the Hall. Hi boys,
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: it's happening, Oh plenty, It's hote hump Day. We were
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: just talking about Hubert Davis getting a railroad at Carolina,
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: which is going to open up the It's open season now.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: If you're a successful, established coach, now's the time to
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: call your agent and get an extension and you get sweetened,
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: sweeten your deal through your hat in the ring for
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: the North Carolina job. And if Bill self leaves Kansas,
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: that's two blue blood jobs opening in the same cycle.
• 23:07
  Speaker 8: For Bill self, it's all about his health, which has
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: not been well the last couple of years. So I
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: would totally understand that situation. Tough break for Hubert Davis.
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: Loved the program played there under Dean Smith. It had success,
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: and you know, you go back and now you're gone.
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: And we've seen that with Caroline over the years, haven't we.
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: With a few exceptions, a lot of those former guys
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: that were either coaches or players, they went back and failed.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: He uh seventy of his games. You want to be
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: duke in a final four and that's not enough. And
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: then now if you Scots of fans are like that's
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: the standard, it's like, is.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: It really it is? Isn't it bit different? Different?
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: If only because of what happened last week that you
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: blew eight? What an eighteen point lead and lost to VCU.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: And had the press conference. He did something that was
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: that was like the.
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: He was already facing a two strike count. It felt
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: like they wanted to pass the hat and get him
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: out in Yeah. And you know what once you when
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: when the boosters decide that you're out and they no
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: longer have confidence in you, it's a race to the
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: finish line.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: And it's a race to the buyout.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: Like when when we're talking about the millions upon millions
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: and millions of dollars that these really incredible Southern gentlemen
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: have that they love their university, they're going to shell
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: the cash out.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: And I mean, we bring up the Carolina game.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: That's the coolest atmosphere I've ever been in for a
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: non non sporting event of one of my teams. I
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: was at the final four that year that it was Kansas, Villanova,
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Duke North Carolina, and I mean the passion in that
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: place was next level down in New Orleans. It was
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: one of the coolest atmospheres.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: I've bet to have.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: And to me, like, that's an all time dub over
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: your greatest rival, right that is, I mean, it's not
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: a championship but it is dang close. Like even if
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: the b Beggers wouldn't gotten a home in twenty ten
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: beating the Bears in the NFC title game for the
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: trophy that has their old owner's name on it, that's that's,
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: no doubt, as close to one b as you're ever
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: gonna find.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: So then the question becomes, you think you should be
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: a made man after that? Let's say you win the
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: National Championship, you would have been. There's no way he
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: gets fired now, right, That's the way I have to
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: think about it. But you know why you're right when
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: those boosters get in a frenzy together as a group
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: think involved, when they all decide we're so mad, we're
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: and and fans and booster they want to have the
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: one power they have, and that's to hire and fire right.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: And they're looking like, we can't let a guy that
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: lost keep his job.
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: And they're looking at the hated team just a few
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: miles away there on Tobacco Road with Josh Shire, who's
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: another ex player that has been really successful.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Although they've had their problem. They haven't won anything since
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: they beat Wisconsin in twenty fifty, and they've had their problems.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Same situation. We'll see what they do here this weekend.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: But I mean they've been kind of struggling a little bit.
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: What if they lost to Sienna Shire out You have
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: to think that that's what Duke fans would be saying,
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: or at least on some of a lot. I don't
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: think so either, but you have to think that somebody
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: be saying, you know, we gotta fire this guy. You
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: can't come back from losing to his sixteen and then
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: well what about Tony Bennett Well.
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: And uh and uh mister what's his name at Perdue
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: and Jonna Blank, Matt Pa and the same thing, right,
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: didn't they didn't They lose a couple of years ago.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: To a really low seat.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: And they lost to Saint Peters the year. That's true,
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: You do forget about that? Was that the sweet sixteen?
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: Or do they losing round? They've been losing round one?
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: I thought round one was Kentucky the third round, but okay, okay, yes, yes,
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: It's really difficult when you talk about the tournament because
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: everybody and you look at the list of coaches that
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: are left amazing the sixteen coaches. You know, we talked
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: about there weren't many upsets. They got to the second weekend.
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: But because of that, you have all these great players
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: and great coaches, an incredible list of coaches with pedigrees,
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: pelts on the wall, all these things, and half of
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: them will lose this weekend.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: That's the reality of it. Yeah, it's true.
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: Now, if you're Carolina, do you go after a bona
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: fide name from another school that's legit that everybody knows
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: or you or do you do what Michigan did with
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: Dusty may or what I would do with Ben McCollum.
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: Do you go get a guy that had great success
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: at the mid major or Division two.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Level out of something like that? I remember that it
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: was Roy Williams. They made Kansas a stepping stone job.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: I mean that was amazing. That's what showed like this
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: is a this is a different job.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: I mean I would I would contend it's a top
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: five job across all sports. I mean, like you could
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: you could include NFL head coach, NBA manager of the
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: New York Yankees, Like there there's a different level of
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: cache when you're talking about Carolina basketball.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: That's totally fair. I think them and Duke Yeah, I
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: mean where does Cubs manager fit in your top ten?
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: I think Cubs managers right there, it's one of the
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: top three jobs in baseball, right so it's one of
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: the top ten or fifteen in all of sports. The
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: Packers are one of the top fifteen jobs in all
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: of pro sports. Like that, there's certain brands that are
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: just gonna be different. I love the idea though, of
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: them just going and grabbing Dusty May out of Michigan
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: and just try and do anything to break that mojo
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: up there. And that would also be Jordan on Jordan crime.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know how they would like to do as
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: Michigan one of the only other Jordan schools, Todd Golden
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: at Florida, also a Jordan brand school. Maybe if the
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: shoe company Sean Miller Style is pulling some strings.
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: It might be one of those cats that'd be something.
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: You know, Dusty May has a history in the South.
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: He was at Florida Well, I think he was a
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: top assistant at Florida.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: Well, Florida and Obous Yeah, yeah, so Duff, it's an
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: opening day eve. Yeah, we're on the cusp of a
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: holiday here and you've seen this evolve again. My theory
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: is that youngsters aren't embracing the spring break ritual of
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: Opening Day down and dirty like us old well, I
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: still see a.
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: Few amateurs there every Opening day, Drew. You know, my
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: guys get there early. They'll be in line at seven
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: twenty or something to try to get the first row
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: in the parking lot.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: But you can always tell who's a newbie to Opening
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: day guy.
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: Noon, they're like either laying down or in the porta
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: potty and they're not coming out because they're so true.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: Is there a pacing problem with that, Dolf Or is
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: shit okay? But because it does have to start with
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, you can't drink all day if you don't
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: start in the morning, right, So for your boys being
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: able to do it at seven twenty, that's a big part.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: But it does have to It tests you if you're
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: gonna mix it a water tuk amateurs. You do the
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: storm the Best Steel Run on Best Steel Days downtown Milwaukee.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: It's a five k and you get people that just
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: do it for the social thing and just like it's
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: a reason to drink.
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: And then they start running and they realize three miles
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: is longer than I thought, and they take it out
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: way too fast, and.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: They're drinking a lot, because what is it at nine
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: or ten o'clock? At nine o'clock at night?
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: But then you see people that take it way too
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: fast out and then they're just walking or just bailing.
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: But Opening Day is just so much bigger than the
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: Brewers in baseball. It's just become such a tradition. You're right,
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: maybe it's it's more of our crowd's age drew. But
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: I really, you know, I'm not going to care one way.
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: I mean, sure, you want the Brewers to win, but
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: in one hundred and sixty two game season, it's just
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: a party. You're not gonna, you know, start the alarm
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: bells if you lose.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe you will. It'sh yeah you will, Oh yeah
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: you will. That's that's my favorite part. And that's what
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: I'm happy. Are you kidding?
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: Shane Smith, a former Brewer farm hand, is beating us
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: on Opening Day.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: We can't have this.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: This guy is falling radio will happen on Friday? Boat racer?
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: Good pointers. I hope it doesn't happen, But again, I'm
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: not gonna really care.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Here's the other thing.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: We're coming off with two exhibition games, lightly attended but awesome,
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: and Billy was there in the second row with the
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: whole family got on the jumbo. Oh yeah, I'm like
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: he's ruined his his his boys, because now when you
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: sit in the terrace level, uh, they're gonna be like,
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: why aren't we down by the dugout?
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Why aren't we so far away? What was the occasion
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: getting on the jumble tron? Just cute kids? Okay?
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you bring a ten month old a three year
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: old and they're in the second row behind the plate.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, how could you know? That's the thing?
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we we we had good feeding ground for that.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: And you know, a smiling ten month old is going
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: to be tough.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know that.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: My man Benny has smiled more than he did yesterday.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: He was firing up to clap, so that was it
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: was going to be easy. And Trace was he seemed
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: like they were his favorite and he's learned from Carson.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: You you know, you have really two diehard sports fans
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: coming up on your hands, which is a good thing.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Bill.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: We found a new cheery yesterday. Come on, Red's lose. Well,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: I appreciate it was just right to the point, right
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: to the point, was clear concise and it's totally understanding.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: Come on the reds loose.
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: I hope they're screaming at the top of their lungs
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: right at Heito Francona.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: It really was trying to get Yelly's attention, and uh,
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: he did turn around a couple of different times. So
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: there was there was a twinkle in the eye for
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: the little guy thinking that he that he did get
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Yelly to turn around. That means everything. When you saw me,
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: at least if you if you at least believe that
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: he said something. You know, Daddy, did he see my
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: jersey and my buddy?
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: He saw it?
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: He knew exactly who. You don't remember that, or you'll
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: remind him every year. You remember the time that Yelly
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: turned around and acknowledged you. When I was yelling at
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: armand Gilliam, my name's armand.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: Billy, I didn't ask did you ail it? Because you
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: got the kids. It was a four o'clock start.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: You didn't get see Cooper Prad's a great catch to
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: end the exhibition season.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: Luckily we got to see that as we were checking
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: out at the team store. So like the seats got
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: ailed from, I think we ended up leaving the park
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: right as the game was ending, and so we hit
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: that one pretty perfectly, because again the little guy, we
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: we couldn't trick him, like buddy, the game's over all
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: of a sudden, they started pitching and goes, no, daddy,
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: they're playing.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Oh the game's still going on. All right.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: I don't know where you think we're going here. I
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: know he's not happy, but I'm fine, So I think
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: we're staying.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: And how was the baseball?
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: Was it?
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: This was good? It was good ball, man. I mean
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Brandon spro Up.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: He looks like a guy that they desperately wanted in
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: the trade, and all indications were he was the one
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: that kind of held it up. Really, they were not
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: going to do the deal if they couldn't get him
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: a part of it. Williams was obviously the head of
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: we heard Jet Jet Jet, But man, Sproke looks like
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: a dude, and he looks like somebody he's going to
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: be in the rotations.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Awesome, he earned it.
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: It appears Matt Arnold finds these guys, you know, not
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: that he was hard to find, but obviously that's that's
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: one of the pieces they want.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: If you're gonna give away your.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: And they doubled up two with uh Kyle Harrison. Well,
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, he gives up an opposite field blast
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: to Daily Cruz.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: But that's most guys have done that too.
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: The better guys have been beaten by Ellie day Ly
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: Cruz and more will And it appears that they got
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: a couple of they're so young in the rotation. I'd
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: love to know beers on the table if Murph's like
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: maybe a little too young rotation. Broab only through like
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: sixty two pitches and then they let Harrison go for
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: like eighty something, so like eighties where you want to
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: be in your last start. Yeah, and Drew, I thought
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: like Harrison was up to fifty and probably less than
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: three innings done. So I think it was maybe the
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: amount of up and downs, but yeah, it's it. Maybe
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: it was they just wanted to make sure that they
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: got both of them enough time. But I was with
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: you on that another Lockridge moment where.
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: They could have when sprought well Sprode is starting on Sunday,
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: I thought they might throw an opener out there already.
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: You know that could be well other than who has
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: tenure on that staff. Nobody tenure between them have ten years,
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: twenty games.
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: That's the Ricky Henderson ten year got almost twenty years
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: in the bad That's awesome.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Okay, I remember that short was I think it was
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Kevin Kennedy? Was he the manager?
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: Get on the buses specrating and said, all right, only
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: the guys with ten you get to sit on the
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: front of the bus.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: And Ricky grumbled, got up and saw year.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: I got now, I mean Miz doesn't have any They
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: brought him up after the service time clock would have
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: started last year.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: For Miz.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: Harrison has one year of MLB accredited service here according
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: to his UH Baseball reference page.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: But otherwise that's it. That's it, and they do not
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: have a lot. They got a lot of running with
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: that rotation.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: I was wondering if there would be a workout in
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: media availability today today. I don't think so, because they
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: sent Woodroffe to Nashville to get a simulated game today,
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: which tells me that they ain't gonna be nobody the
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: ballpark for.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: You throw too.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: So they're just getting a day to chill because they've
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: been there for two days. I'll show up tomorrow.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: I also love.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: Woody in Hunter's recap in the video that Hunter put
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: up for us yesterday.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just not pitching. I'm not pitching. You guys
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: got messed up for twenty two million on pitching.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: Somebody out there, probably in our listening audience, is staking
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: out the targets, especially the target around Miller park Way
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: because you might see miss and guys buying the stuff
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: to stock their their apartments.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: And you know, because the theaters.
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: It's like in Packers training camp when they have a
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: day off, you go to best Buy and you're gonna
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: see half the team rolling through.
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: I shout out to West Milwaukee once again for keeping
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: the name Miller park Way.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: You've got to change your name with all these businesses. Dudes,
• 35:19

• 35:21
  Speaker 8: right Yeah, Brewers.
• 35:24

• 37:59
  Speaker 6: it Who's who's not? Brought to us by Donovan Jorgens.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: And Billy What do you got for some Now, this
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: one might be might take a little time to understand.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: But how about who's hot? Jordan Hudson?
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: I mean, like, there hasn't been many conversations about North
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: Carolina athletics that have not stemmed and started with roasting
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: Jordan and having her in the crosshairs of most frustrations
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: with her boyfriend and love interest significant other, Bill Belichick.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: So who's hot? How about that Bill Belichick?
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: You didn't get fired when having maybe the ugliest football
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: season anybody could have seen. And Hubert Davis went to
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: the Final Four just a couple of years ago and
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: his ass is grass. So who's hot? That couple right there?
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: Who would be in the not category of who's hot?
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: Who's not here today? Drew?
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, I guess the Milwaukee Bucks.
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: Now, the statement here from the National Basketball Players Association
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: REIDS has followed. The Player Participation Policy was designed by
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: the league. The whole team's accountable there it is and
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: ensure that when all star players like YIANNISI Detagumbo are
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: healthy and ready to play, that he is on the court.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, anti tanking.
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: Policies are only as effective as their enforcement, fans, broadcast partners,
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: the integrity of the game itself continue to suffer as
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: long as ownership goes unchecked. We look forward to collaborating
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: with the NBA on meaningful new proposals that will directly
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: address and discourage tanking. I just struggle with it, Drew,
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: because I don't see them tanking. I just think they're bad.
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: And if there's anything in here that is tanking, I
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: can understand where the immediate premise would be. But they're
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: not pulling their best players in the fourth quarter like
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: the Utah Jazz. Right They're not sitting all of the now.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: Their clear best player has dealt with one, two, three, four,
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: five different different injuries this year. I look at it
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: as a lot more protecting him. However, I get Yiannis
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: wanting to play. I probably would have going going about
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: it in a different form or fashion. But this is
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: an ugly divorce and it is all It is, just
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: like the early onslaught of it. So this is, uh,
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: this is setting up for a not hot summer for
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: Bucks fans. If Jiannis's crew is going to the NBA
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: PA to make sure that this gets put out, it's
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: it's it's headed for an ugly summer.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: Hey, we just want to play.
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: That was in Little Giants and that's the refrain from
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: your honest, I guess I just want to play.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Let me play.
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: I remember there was a little awkwardness ones when Donald
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: Driver wasn't being activated for some games and stuff like that.
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: It was like, well, wait a minute, I want to play.
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: So yeah, this is not the tension that we needed.
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: I'll say that.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: I see. Just let him play, right, I mean, come on,
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: get it done.
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: You know there could be a lot worse things, right,
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: you throw them out there and you enjoy the other one.
• 40:46
