• 1:30
  Speaker 5: bring you, if you missed it, if you're just flowing
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: out of the Summerfest grounds now. If you are, you're
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: kind of missing one of the better parts that's happening
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: at the moment. Because the boys are back on the
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: huddle on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin right now. But in
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: all reality, the boys are still up onto the stage.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: They're still celebrating like nobody is leaving. There's a swarm
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: of folks that have departed, but nobody else wants to leave.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Nobody else wants to end the celebration. Armin, you were
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: in it today. We'll talk about all the great parts
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: of it. We'll bring, as I mentioned, the podium audio
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: coming up in about 15 minutes or so from right
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: now and want to hear everybody's reaction and stories of
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: being in there. But- The celebration and the euphoric moments
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: at that podium throughout the day, it was a cathartic
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: celebration through the city of Milwaukee here today, man. Cathartic
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: is a great way to put it, Billy, and it
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: was truly a moment for history. And you said something
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: interesting just now.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Excuse me. Been a lot of yelling today. Yeah, you're
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: getting choked up.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: It makes sense.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Been a lot of yelling today.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: You said something interesting about not wanting the celebration to end.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of that. People want to
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: just hang around and be part of it for a while.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: And I noticed something today, and I felt something from
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: the people today being out there. And on that same vein,
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: they didn't want this season to end. Like, we've never
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: experienced a baseball championship. We've never experienced a World Series championship.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: We've witnessed.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Seasons ending in heartbreak or in ways that we don't want, right?
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Unless you win the championship, usually that's only one team's happy,
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: that whole thing.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: We're used to seasons ending and feeling unsatisfied.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: And this is uncharted territory for fans here is that
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: the season ends in a World Series victory. And it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: almost like it's over. We got to go home now
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: from summer camp. This ride has to end. People don't
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: want it to end. They want to watch this team
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: play baseball and be together forever. And as happy as
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: a day this is, it's one of the happiest days
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: here ever. That part, I think, is a little bit
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: wistful for some people. It's a little bit bittersweet that
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: this season has to end because it's been such a
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: special seven months for everybody that truly loves this team
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: and loves Milwaukee Brewers baseball and sports in this town.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Loves everyone, loves the community, loves the happiness, loves what
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: it can do to us.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: And Billy, you saw it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: A lot was made about the 82 parade because they
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: didn't win the World Series. And it was, you know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: they lost, but it was a great year. They won
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: the pennant, but everyone always looks back at history like,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: A parade for a team that lost. One of the
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: only parades for a team that didn't win the title
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: since the first ever World Series parade, which was actually
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: for a team that lost the championship. Yeah, and Paul
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Molitor's famous quote back then was, did we win or
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: did we lose? We can't tell, you know, talking about
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: how great the crowd was. Let me tell you, Billy,
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: you could tell today who won. You could tell today
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: who won the World Series. That's genuine love for a
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: ball team. That's genuine love what you saw today from
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: the people to the Brewers. Yeah, and you can see
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: it from those guys as well as they brought a
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: number of the Hall of Famers back.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Paul Molitor, Robin Yount, Raleigh Fingers, Ted Simmons.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: Awesome. Ted Simmons had some phenomenal words in a couple
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: of great interviews. Robin Yount got us choked up throughout it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: I was flipping back and forth through all the different
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: coverage from Fox 6, which did a wonderful job. Ted
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Perry and our guy Tim Van Voren was phenomenal. And
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: into the different stages of it, I thought one of
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: the most moving moments was when everybody was able to
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: celebrate and be in front, slow down and park. Right
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: in front of the Bob Buecher mural, where as the
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: procession and the staging of the cars might not have
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: been at the most opportune as the players came right away.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: So it got hot and heavy instantly. I mean, Bernie
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: came through with the fire truck. And then I think
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: the first bus had.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Some of the.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: Executives on it, I saw some of the support staff
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: on there.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And then boom, it was the trophy. Right away.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: With almost all of the players on the first two buses.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: And then I mean, Pat Murphy was like 25 minutes
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: behind hanging out in the back of a car. And
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: as he said, had to pee like nobody's business sitting
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: on that lawn chair. But in the flow, you got
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: our guy Rock, Bill Schroeder was in there, amazing. All
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: the radio team, Jeff Levering, Lane Grindle, Josh Maurer in
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: there as well. But all of a sudden, there's the
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Robin Young car. And here comes some of the other
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: great Brewer alumni. I mean, Jeff Jenkins was up there.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: Our guy Kuz, Marcus Handel. I rocked the Marcus Handel
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: jersey at game three in celebration. And that was awesome
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: to see him there.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Eric Thames looking like... Just a monster.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: There were eight trucks of staff showing how many people
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: are behind the scenes to be able to get you
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: to a world title. And then ultimately, Pat Murphy at
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: the back end of it, rounding third and heading for
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: home and heading for the Summerfest grounds where the celebration
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: really took over. And that's where our guy, Drew Olsen,
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: as he rounded third, headed for home and gets back
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: to stately Olsen Manor from inside of the amphitheater. We're
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: going to play the audio, Drew, coming up in about
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: 15 minutes from inside the amphitheater that you just saw.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: A celebration like no other. And my goodness, I thought
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Ferg's had a lot of Miller Lite drank out through
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: the last couple of days down in Tampa. Looked like
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: those boys were drinking plenty of Miller Lites because it
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: was a well-lubricated stage there at the American Family Amphitheater.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: Holy cow, Billy, they were getting after it today. Kudos
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: to the Brewers, the stamina they showed for partying in St.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: Pete.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: Getting on a plane, flying, going to the Lambo, doing
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: the Lambo leap, all that, and then keeping it going.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of what we call the shampoo effect
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: where you go to bed kind of still drunk and
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: you wake up and you feel okay. And then you
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: have that first beer and it's like, boom, right back
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: to being. 22 on the scale. During this playoff run, Kurt.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Hogue would set his phone with a decibel meter.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: On the ledge in front of his seat at AmFam
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: Field so he could see how loud the crowd was.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: It got up to like 110 decibels, like a jet plane,
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: during key moments.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Of the World Series and of the playoff run.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Why would I have liked to have seen a blood
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: alcohol breathalyzer to see what this was?
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Because these guys were lubricated. They had a blast.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Um.
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: I got a text from a buddy of mine who
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: said it might have been the greatest event in the
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: history of Wisconsin.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's beautiful.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: You got to think about it. It's like, okay, like,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: come on, let's recency bias.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: What's better than this outpouring of love and affection for
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: this team? My neighborhood here, which is close to the
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Summerfest grounds, started to fill up like at six this morning.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: And the Summerfest grounds opened at eight. There were people
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: lined up to get in just to watch on TV.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: So that's what I did. I went to the Summerfest grounds.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: I didn't get there at eight. But I went and
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: stood at the Generac stage and watched the video, Fox
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: 6's presentation of the parade as it made its way.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: And the place was packed. It was like a crowded
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: Summerfest night from 1998. That's how busy the grounds were.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: And people were, you know, just cranking out High Lifes.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: And the Goolsby's cheeseburgers were flowing, Billy. I just had
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: one on the way home.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: You can't beat that, yeah.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: Like there were some concession stands open. And people were
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: just having a blast. And those were the smart people
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: and the people on the route. And then people on
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: the route tried to get into Summerfest, like people as
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: the parade went past. And then they tried to get in.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: And at a certain point, I think it was capped
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: that we were, sorry, 100,000.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: We hold comfortably 100,000 people here.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: And we were at capacity, plus another 25,000 in the
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: amphitheater who were getting ready for that party. And yeah,
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: BA and Sophia were emceeing that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: That was spectacular. I knew Milwaukee knows how to throw
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: a party, right? We get it. We know.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Especially a parking lot party that involves beer, the team
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: that's named after the people that brew the beer. Yeah,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: we do know how to celebrate, especially on a Friday.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: No question.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: And this was what this was. It had the vibe
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: of opening day, only better. Opening day is its own
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: entity concept. This was different. This was like, ah, this
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: was closing day. This is our farewell to the baseball season.
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: When your team gets tapped on the shoulder. I was
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: waiting for somebody to tap Murph on the shoulder.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I was waiting for it, too.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: And say, no more games to play, Murph.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: They didn't do that, but the speeches were electrifying, lubricated,
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: as you can imagine. We're going to spin through some
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: of those. It was pretty good. The program in the
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: amphitheater was great. I talked to my friends from Summerfest,
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: and Summerfest knows how to throw a party, obviously, and
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: they got involved in this, but the dates were fluid.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: They didn't know when it was going to wrap and
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: when they were going to have the party. And I
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: think once the Brewers got up 3-0, they had a
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: pretty good idea.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, here we are. This is happening. This is what
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: it's going to be.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: And it looked like, I mean, I am at the
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: front of the line when it comes to criticizing our
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: elected officials and our infrastructure and some of the things
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: that happened.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: But they pulled this off.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: They did it right.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: And having MPS be off and a lot of school
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: districts around. Saw a lot of kids today. Saw a
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: lot of kids today. And it was special. It's one
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: of those things people are going to remember for the
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: rest of their lives.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I mean, the uncontrollable factors were also mitigated
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: all day, right? I mean, the weather, was it a
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: little chilly early?
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: And then all of a sudden, it got nice enough
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: for Bryce Durang, Sal Freelick, and Jake Bowers to rip
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: their shirts off. uh, and go tarps off on the
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: final staging of it. And Drew, you could tell the
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: moment at the end after when BA says, you know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: this was going to be our last thing. It was
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: almost like the end of the last day of school
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: when you're in like fifth grade, when you actually like
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: signing the yearbooks, you actually don't want to leave all
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: your buddies for the next three months or so. Uh,
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: and you can tell all the guys were looking around like,
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Does that mean we got to go home?
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: Does that mean we got to go home? Because in
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: all reality, in the next two to three days, they
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: are going home, right? Everybody's going to their off-season home.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Everybody's going this, that, and the third. This team for today,
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: this is the last day this group will ever be
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: together again in this exact current form. Now, they will
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: be brought back in so many different celebrations throughout history.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: But for right now in the present, this is the
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: last moment for them. And you could tell there was a... damn,
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: this ride has been so good. I don't want it
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: to end where they're, you know, picking Sal Frehlich up,
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: bouncing him around on the stage and taking pictures with
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Euchre's motorcycle for 25, 30 minutes. There was a, we're
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: going to hold on to this as tightly as possible
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: because the city showed out. It was a phenomenal atmosphere,
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: phenomenal day. And I thought my favorite scene, the one
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: I didn't expect, but should have been prepared for, and
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: kudos to the folks that thought of it, Man, lining
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: the parking structures was genius. You were not getting any
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: better view. Even the television cameras couldn't have gotten the
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: kind of shots that those folks up on the fifth
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: deck of the parking structures were getting. It looked phenomenal
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: lining it down the line.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: On Wisconsin Avenue. It really made it feel like, I
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: don't know how to describe it. Don't say a real city. No, no, no, no, no.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: I would never say that. I only make fun of
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: Oklahoma City like that, Billy. By the way, we did
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: not have to start this over again. That's how big
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: of a city. No, it felt more iconic and epic
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: of a ticker tape, like the old-time ticker tape parades
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: where people were hanging out of windows and stuff like that.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: You saw a lot of people climbing up on trees
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: and poles. People were telling me to get up on
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: a tree. I wasn't about to try that disaster. Okay,
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: we did not need any of that. But it was awesome.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: I was at the front of the parade on 4th
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: and Wisconsin.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: You're right, Billy.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Um like at the beginning it came out hot and
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: heavy like right away uh the players were on the
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: on the first couple buses with the trophy and that
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: was so awesome then you had all the staff which
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: was great i know a lot of people see them
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: and like what were these people we don't know but
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: they they work hard and they deserve to be there
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: and then you saw coming in the cars you know
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: just like they did in 82 there was robin there
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: was paul there there was ted simmons there was raleigh
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: man it was just fantastic to bridge the past to
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: the present and then murph just chilling in the back
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: of that truck on the lawn chair to finish the
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: parade off.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: It was just, it was just perfect. It was just perfect. Yeah.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Seeing the guys stop like impromptu and just getting off
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: the buses and high-fiving people and sharing drinks and everybody
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: stopping in front of the Euchre mural was special. And
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: it's a little bit like when, back when the U
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: S bank championship was played at Brown deer, it's like
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: you tune in and you'd say, Oh, well here's like
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: a PGA tour guy that I follow and that I
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: cheer for playing the same course that I play. And
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: seeing these vistas, it's views of, and Fox 6 did
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: a good job of presenting it, but the views of
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: the of the city.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, just like, Oh man, like, look, Oh look,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: look at that. Doesn't that look cool?
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: There's the Pfister.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: There's Wisconsin. Yeah.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: It showed off the city and it was, you can't
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: help but feel pride in that. Like, and then it's like, Oh,
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: they're getting off on Jackson street. Well, that's the exit
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: I get off on all the time. Like, you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: Billy dropped.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Me off last night. That's the exit we got off on.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: And it's like, Oh, here they come.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: And like, they're passing this building or this, you know,
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: that's where my buddy works or that's where, you know,
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: my wife used to park her car in that, that structure.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: And it's just that, that kind of, It's that kind
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: of totemistic thing where you're, oh, the landmarks and just,
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: and to show off the city and just to have it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: And I don't think there were any mass incidents. I
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: didn't hear any gunshots or anything.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, I heard zero and saw zero. I was
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: waiting for some fireworks, to be honest.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, especially on Wednesday night, as many as there were,
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: I thought there might be some, but no, no, nothing bad.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: And frankly, Drew, I just think it's starting, right?
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: Like everybody that was, that was hanging out and getting
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: ready at 7 a.m.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: For today was, It's 2.15, it's not like anybody's going
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: to work now, right?
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: So everybody is rolling into the great city of Milwaukee,
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: having themselves a phenomenal time. Whether you came from, I believe,
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: and I firmly believe there were, from Sheboygan to Alcanto
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: to Eau Claire to Menominee Falls to Manaqua. I think
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: there were folks coming all over the state, coming from
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: all over the state to enjoy it. And I know
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: people that were enjoying it over at the Pottawatomie Sports Play.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: They were showing it on the big screen in there.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: And I saw a couple of pictures of that place
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: decently littered through. So- It's just starting the celebration into
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: the town. And for this group, man, they're going to
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: be celebrated for a long time, as they absolutely should be.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: But when you start thinking of the tie-togethers that you got,
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: you got William Contreras immediately on stage trying to bring
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: Aaron Ashby down today on the podium.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: You'll hear it in a couple of minutes.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: He answers one question, get Jackson Cherry over here. Let's
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: defer it. Let's pass it off to somebody else. I
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: don't know it was just Drew because they wanted to
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: keep the line moving, but I think there was some
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: self-awareness like Jake Bowers had. You guys better get me
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: off this stage before I say something real stupid.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, definitely. You better get me off this stage.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: I've been having far too much fun, and I think
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: it's only beginning.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I heard Bryan Anderson curse. I couldn't believe my ears.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: He got to town, and I don't think I've ever
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: heard him swear.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I could not believe my ears.
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: When he introduced the 82 guys and he said, you know,
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: the 12-year-old me is bleeping my pants right now, I
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: lost it.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: I just, I'm like, whoa. And I was standing next
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: to Todd Rosiak and we both said, whoa, BA. Like,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: this is unbelievable.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: It's a reminder of one of the many reminders of
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: one of the many great parts, how lucky we are
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: to have BA. Of course. And being here and being
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: excited about it because he truly loves it.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: He loves being here. He was at one of the games.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: He's a fan.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: It's so, you know, I mean, he's one of the
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: great broadcasters in the world and he loves being here
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: and working with us and being with us and being ours.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: You know, I saw Lev come by, you know, I mean,
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: and Josh Maurer and those guys. They're as big a
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: part of it as anybody. That's the fabric. You mentioned it, Billy.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: The accomplishment is made, and you win a tangible thing,
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: a trophy, a championship, a banner, an accomplishment. But what
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: you really achieved is that iconic bond forever, that inseparable bond.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: They'll be connected now forever, and they'll stay together through reunions,
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: through memories, through people talking. when one of them is
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: mentioned now in that group, they'll be mentioned together as
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: a part of a special unit. And that's really the
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: most special part of it.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Amazing.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: It's, it was quite the day that a lot of
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: the guys.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: And you're going to hear it when we play the
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: podium sound that they said it was the greatest day
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: of their lives. Better than winning the championship was this,
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: the celebration. And, you know, I know it was last
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: year's slogan, the power of friendship, but they, a bunch
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: of them said, these are my best friends. And Kristen
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Yelich has said, we hang out together off the field and,
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: Everybody does everything together. And that's a special quality that
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: you don't often find. And these guys are like, Billy,
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: you're right. They're going to be forever linked with this
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: team and with the city. And some of them are
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: going to move on to different places. Baseball happens. There's
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: roster churn. Guys are going to go sign elsewhere and stuff.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: It is going to be. But but this is forever.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: This is the 26 brewers are going to be forever.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: It's going to be awesome.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's not going to be easy when they
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: start moving off. It's not going to be easy when
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Pat Murphy's joke to Jake Bowers potentially comes true.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Now, I don't know that it's going to happen to
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: that horse bleep team.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: But some organizations are going to start grabbing anybody they can. And,
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: I mean, Matt Arnold's group is already going to get
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: plucked out in Houston as they're trying to grab somebody
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: to run their operations. Everybody wants a piece of horse.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: the recipe and the soup that the brewers were able
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: to cook up here this year. And a lot of
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: it is the special moments and the special stories we're
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: starting to hear about. Jeff Passan's story up at ESPN.com,
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: a phenomenal piece, not only about the blazing in the
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: clubhouse and in the batting cages of a couple of
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: heaters every once in a while that you potentially have
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: to have, but just the unique conversations of what you got.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Sometimes the most important question is to throw it out
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: there and let somebody answer it for you. Pat Murphy
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: said it. Yelly told us we're going to win the
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: World Series, so we all better start believing. Those stories
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: of how this 162 games and then into the postseason
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: came together starting to leak out, and they are really,
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: really good. Let's bask in all of it. Let's enjoy it.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: Drew's at Stately Olsen Manor. We're back here inside the Megaplex,
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: and we got a motherload of audio from the podium
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: for you.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: We're going to go to it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: The celebration, the one-hour-way celebration inside American Family Amphitheater just
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: wrapped up.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: If you missed any of it, don't go anywhere. No flipping.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: You got Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, and it's coming your
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: way next.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Huddle up with us.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: We are gonna huddle up with wayne larry coming up
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: drew i don't know if you noticed in the celebration
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: you heard baggers got someone.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Fired last night big time baggers.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: Got someone fired last night we will talk about that
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: little football game that your world series champion brewers showed
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: up at last night at lambeau field as well huddle
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: up with us and hear the celebration for your world

  Speaker 5: champions next fox thank you.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Guys we love you man I got two quick things.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Good things come to those who wait.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: We waited long enough.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Where is this coming from?
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Last thing I'm going to say, the next time I'm tired,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: I'm going to take a nap.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Congratulations.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Paul Molitor.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: Okay, all right, hold on. I thought, hold on, hold on.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: All right, pause that up here. Pause that up here.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: All right, Drew, I apologize here. Now, when I thought
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: we were going to the podium, I thought we were
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: gonna start it right there at the beginning.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that I was gonna lead in.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: And all of a sudden, it was just gonna start
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: middle of the framing of a Hall of Famer delivering
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: an absolute bar. That was rude and inconsiderate of me
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: to not be able to frame that up and set
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: it up. I apologize and disrespect Paul Molitor in that
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: form and fashion.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I thought I had BA for some reason at the
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: start there.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Sorry about that. It was kind of hectic. But yes,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: that was Paul Molitor's start.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: That was Paul Molitor. Armand, do you have the start
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: of it?
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: Do you have the start of it or do we
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: not have the start of it?
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Is that where you started?
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: No, I thought I did. I'll have to go back
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: and check this out. Okay, here we go.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: All right, Armin.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: That's correct. There we go.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: That's par for the course.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Mid-season championship producing.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: That is 2026 championship caliber.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: He was halfway through the program, Armin. If that's where
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: you started.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: All right, I'll get what I can here. I'm trying here.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Get what I can here. Oh, my Lord.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Armin hit record, and he thought he was catching the
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: beginning of the ceremony, but it was actually a half
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: hour in.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: But that's all right.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: That is tremendous.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Doug Russell was there.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Doug Russell was there.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: We'll have the full sound.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about it, Armin.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: We'll get it later, and we'll play it at a
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: different point in time when we have the actual audio.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: We'll do it that way, then.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: Much to the delight of my dogs, Hunter Baumgart has
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: arrived at Stately Oceania to start processing some social media
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: stuff because he's pinned into the neighborhood here.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: No one's leaving. Guys, the program's over. They want to
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: shut down the Summerfest grounds for not just today, but
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: for the winter.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Good luck at the 3 o'clock deadline.
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: And people, they don't want to leave because they just
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: want to hang on to this. And to see this
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: many people, and the only thing, it had an opening day.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Vibe because of the weather.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: It's gray and a little chilly this morning, but it's fall,
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: not spring, end of winter. And all the people in
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: their Brewers gear, people, I mean, you know it's a
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: big event, Billy, when you see guys selling the bootleg gear.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: They were, I mean, those guys take Venmo now.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, they're not messing around. Cash card or Venmo.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Cash card or Venmo for them.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're not messing around at the tents anymore. You
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: also could tell, and I think the opening day that
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: you and I have joked about, Drew, over the last
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: year or so, that it's definitely not the same vibe,
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: the same demand, the en vogue social capital moments.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: And it was a social capital moment across the city
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: of Milwaukee. It appears.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: That if you were not there, too cool for school,
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: then you thought you were.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: And you missed out because everybody, it appears.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Was inside the city limits and inside downtown.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Third ward area.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: And there's only going to be more and more that celebrate. Oh, beautiful,
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: beautiful shot of the pooch here. onto the huddle. And
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: to be able to celebrate it that way and to have,
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: you know, all walks of life, high five and celebrating,
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: it was pure pandemonium the exact way that you would
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: think and dream.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Of it to be.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: That's right. My mom's dog, Willow, making her radio debut today.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: She barked at Hunter.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the other pooch that's here all the time.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Guard dog.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: Trying to figure out what's going on. Yeah, guard dog, right.
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: She's enjoying the show so far. but yeah, we'll get
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: to the whole thing. Cause BA did open the show
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: and it was, um, actually, um, Mark Richards gave kind
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: of like a 42nd warning and then they, they, they
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: launched into it and the staging of it. I have
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: to say that the Brewers pulled this off. It was,
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: I've seen some cringy. I mean, when it's your team, it,
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: maybe it's cringe proof.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Sure. Cause everything, everybody says is like, Oh, that's so cool. Oh,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: he's so funny.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: But I've seen some of these before in other markets
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: where you just go, ah, you know, ah, it seems excessive. And,
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: Maybe it's because it's like maybe it's the Lakers or
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: somebody that we don't really.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: But the affection and it was almost like a concert
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: because when the concerts are good, the energy that's exchanged
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: that radiates from the stage and is met with the
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: audience energy and it kind of creates this this vibe.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: That's what we were in in the amphitheater today. I
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: wish everybody could have been there. Obviously, the space limitations.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: But I was standing next to some of my friends
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: from Summerfest and some of my media brethren, including Hunter.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: And just to drink that in was pretty cool.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: And B.A.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: Set the tone, and a bunch of players hit the
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: right notes, especially starting with Jelich, the captain, and Brandon
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: Woodruff especially. Brandon Woodruff had the line that I think,
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: you know, when you go early in the program, it's
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: fresh powder.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: But he said, hey, this is fun. Let's win a
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: couple more.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Let's do this a couple more times.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Let's win a couple more. Let's win a couple more.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: And that made people just go crazy because of everything
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: he went through and all. He said, all the bull
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: crap I went through with the injury, I did it
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: for you guys. I did it for you guys, and
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: I'd do it again, I heard him say earlier today.
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: And then it was perfectly well done.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: I also thought Miz's comments were phenomenal, as Sofia gave
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: the little, hey.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: You guys want to hear from the Cy Young? Oh, wait, sorry,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: they haven't told everybody yet.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: We already know it's probably going to be unanimous coming up.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: And to hear his just... pure youthful exuberance that you
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: always hear and just being uh as pure to himself
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: as you can be i just.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Love you guys so much like.
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: Just the full forest gump effect that you got and
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: you said in the first segment i was waiting when
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: v8 when when murph dropped the wait we don't play
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: tomorrow i thought that was the tap him on the
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: shoulder moment and say hey i think it all worked
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: out for you Some different parts of it, though, that
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: were phenomenal to be able to see. I mean, you
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: really got a couple of great shots of Jojo Romero
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: having himself an absolute ball.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Andrew, I didn't know that.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, Summerfest has had some tremendous acts play on
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: that stage. Have they had anybody try to sing Stacy's
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: mom like Daniel Vogelbach tried to?
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: That was a mess.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I expected him to shotgun a beer, too.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: Well, it looked like that's what they were asking him
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: to do when they walked the beers out to him
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: and cracked them for him.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: But he was already too far deep at that point.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: I felt like he was gone. I just love that
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: he really thought people might want to hear him sing
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: that thing.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: Now, I wouldn't call Vogelbach's speech as more of a
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: collection of noises, but it was pretty funny. It's like
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: a Chris Farley show. But it was, that was.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: One we'll remember.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: That's for sure. Absolutely.
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: So if you were at the event, if you watched it,
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: we want your thoughts. 877-794-1973 to the NicoletLaw.com target text line.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: It was, you know.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: People who, like Johnny K on the YouTube comments, got
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: high fives from Bowers, Freelick, Ortiz, and more.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: He's never going to forget. He's never going to wash
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: his hand again.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: That's what you feel like.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: I can't remember which of the outlets, as I was
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: kind of double-barreling the TV action, was an interview with
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: a young man that got a picture of Bowers walking
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: with the trophy right behind him.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: It was right next to me.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: And again, those memories were everlasting.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: And they did.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: They really let you roll through. And the guys got
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: out of the cars and buses as much as possible
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: to soak it in. The Euchre mural I thought was
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: going to be the only time everybody got up out
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: of the bus to be able to go and take
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: pictures and celebrate. It happened like three or four more times,
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: even when the tarps came off towards the end. So
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: it was phenomenal. I didn't even know how deep they
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: were going to go, Drew, with the former Brewers. I mean,
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: the Brewer alumni tank, there was some great collections.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Saw Jeff Jenkins, Casey McGee was there. It was just
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: so good. Marcus Hanel.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: Our guy Rock had his own car, which was well-deserved.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: But you saw how many people this meant so much to,
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: and I like they were able to tie in all
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: the different generations of the organization.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, Kent Somerfelt had his own convertible.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: As he needed one, yes.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: As he deserved.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Sammy deserves that.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: I think it's interesting. John Infante wants to know how
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: it compared to the Buck celebration. I see a couple
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: people doing this. I don't know. Jesse said this is
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: better than the Bucks. Comparison is the thief of joy.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: I don't know why we have to do this. I
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: don't want to do it. I don't want to try
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: and say this was better than this. It was probably bigger.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: There's no question about it. I think both were fantastic.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: But I don't know.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: Well, I also think the to what Drew's point when
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: you were making about the amphitheater and how you could
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: feel both sides, the stage to the crowd.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you get that as much.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: If it's in just a big park area with a
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: stage and everybody standing up. The intimacy of it gave it,
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: I think, that reverberation. And knowing how people watch it.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: to get into and around the celebration, I think, added
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: more and more folks trying to get out there. It
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: was definitely slower than the Bucks parade, which was appreciated.
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: The cars were definitely slower paced. And it lasted a
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: little bit longer than that one did because they were
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: moving on that one.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: Well, the 82 Brewers Parade and the Bucks Parade went
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: in the opposite direction, didn't it?
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: This one headed east down Wisconsin Avenue.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's true.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Which was a little bit different and starting on 4th Street.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: I like the route.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: I was watching at the Summerfest Grounds because, well, it's
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: right by my place. And I just saw the crowds
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: and the throngs of people. And I said, well, I'm
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: going to go to the Summerfest Grounds. I'm going to
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: be in the amphitheater anyway. So I watched with thousands
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: of people watching the parade. And it was like you
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: were there. I feel like I was at the parade,
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: though I wasn't. You know, it's almost better. It's like
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: being at a golf tournament. You can only see like
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: the hole you're on and that's it. But if you
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: watch it on TV, you get to see everybody shot, shot, shot,
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: different holes, different locations. It's impossible to be everywhere at once. Armin,
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: you had your perspective right from the, like, fourth in
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: Wisconsin or third in Wisconsin, right?
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's kind of what I felt, too, because in
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: a lot of ways, unless you're, like, 6'10, you feel
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: a parade. If you're rows back, you feel a parade
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: more than see it. Now, we all have our phones,
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: so everyone sticks their phone in the air, and then
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: you see what you got, kind of. Or if you're
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: lucky enough, you know, to find a ledge to stand
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: on or something to stand on, but you see it,
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: but you feel it as much, because when there's so
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: many people there, that many rows deep... You're going to
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: miss some of it, but you're right. You almost like
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: when when when everyone passed, it was almost like, should
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: I run somewhere else and start this over again? Like,
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: you know, the trophy comes past and it's exciting. But
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: and you're like, boy, it's over now. I want to
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: go do this again. Let's run it back.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: But it was pretty awesome. And I like the way
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: they did it. I like the way they spread it out.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Everybody was in a great mood, but it was it
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: was front loaded, you know, players trophy right away, basically
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: two buses. And you're right, Billy, it went slow enough.
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that. They weren't kind of zooming by. But
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: you do realize, okay, you can't be everywhere in this
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: parade at once. So I remember I found myself wondering
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: near the end, then we saw Murph, but you knew
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: the front of the parade with the trophies at a
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: different location now. What are they feeling there? So it's
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: great because it's one of those things you're going to
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: go back and watch and soak in again if you can.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: So you do get that. Everyone's going to have their
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: own experience from this, which is kind of cool.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, people who took the morning off of work or
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: the kids were out of school. I saw a lot
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: of families enjoying this because I think people, especially those
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: of us who are around in 82, realize that you
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: got to savor this while it lasts because you think.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, they can be back. Well, see you next year.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: And next year took 44 years to arrive.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: So it was stark.
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: Now, I agree with Armin that the comparisons, like, is
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: this better or worse than the Bucks parade?
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: It's different. And they're both great. They were both great events.
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: And we were thirsty for a title when the Bucs
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: won theirs. And now we might start getting a little greedy.
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: Packers are back on the clock. And they won last night.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: Billy and I were there doing Packers OT.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Got one to win, too.
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: We got Micah Parsons coming back to practice when they
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: return from this mini-bye. So life is looking up on
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: that front. They got a coach fired that Billy alluded
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: to earlier, which that was kind of a shocking report
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: from Rappaport in the middle of the Brewers stuff this morning.
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they were cleaning up as Ivaro is now out
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: as D.C. in Carolina after the Packers put up four
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: TDs on him.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, they did force three three and outs.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: And Drew, if that game lasted another 15 minutes of
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: game time, I think the locals would have potentially started
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: some hoobirds. How frustrated it seemed like folks were with
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: the offense late. Sputtered a little bit, but we'll get
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: to it throughout the day, especially when Wayne Larrabee joins us.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: Right now, Drew, inside the amphitheater, they're still trying to
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: clear everybody out. Kyle Malzahn of Channel 5 in Green
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: Bay is there, and he's got a video. They're just
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: throwing the empty beer cans out. out into the crowd.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: And it's like throwing raw meat into a sea of wolves.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: It's just incredible. People pouncing for any bit of the celebration.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: I saw so many people collecting little bits of confetti
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: throughout the celebration. It was something that you did. You
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: tried to cherish and hold on to because it was different.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: The relationship with the Brewers, And the state is different,
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: I think, than the relationship with the Bucs and the state.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: The Bucs are truly, I think, the city's team. And
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: people from around the state are absolutely Bucs fans.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: But it doesn't have that same resonance of in the summer,
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: on weekends. How many people would have lacrosse days coming
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: down to a Brewers game or buses coming from Lake
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: Geneva to bring people here?
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: People from Platteville come to Brewers.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: That part of it is way too unique that, I mean,
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: I know there are folks here that were laughing at
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: the suggestion of, they were thinking maybe 400,000 people.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: There's no way that's going to be that many. I'm like, well.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: It's not just folks from Milwaukee or the five counties
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: that are going to come roll in here to celebrate it.
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: Everybody from across the state wanted a piece of this
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: thing here today. And putting it on a Friday, thankfully
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: they won it in five.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: And we're not playing a game here tonight.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: And they were able to make it the kind of
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: long weekend that people in Wisconsin are always going to
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: be about.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: And that's representative of this fan base.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, one of the biggest things the roof did
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: was guarantee a game for people coming from 30 miles
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: or more to Milwaukee to see a Brewers game.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Which is a hallmark of this fan base.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: It stretches wide into the state of Wisconsin. So it
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: stands to reason, of course, that they're going to come
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: for the parade too from that far out.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: You know, I think that's.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: Why the tailgating culture has always been important, the parking culture.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: You just look before and after the Brewers built a
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: stadium with a roof with the attendance numbers. There's no
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: question that it's important because people drive a long way
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: on a normal basis compared to other markets to see
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: a game.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: And, Billy, you're right, for a parade as well. I
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: think it stands to reason.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: Now, do we think we can get Hunter on a
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: headset once he starts processing some of that audio to.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Give us some stories? We will absolutely do that. We'll
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: have Hunter jump on, and then we'll have.
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: arm and effort to get the entire we'll get some
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: one way or the other we'll get some we'll cobble
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: it through for us and uh we'll do it that
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: way that'll be amazing and then wayne larry's joining us
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: at 425 right billy yeah yes sir 425 for wayne
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: larry the voice of the green bay packers uh in
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: basket in somewhat glow of a 27 19 win.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Last night would have been a lot better if it
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: was 27.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: 10 Would have been a lot better if it was
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: maybe 34-17. Like, it looked like it was about to
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: be a couple of different times. We'll get into it,
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: and we have plenty of time for it. But way
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: more time to discuss your world champion Milwaukee Brewers. Huddle
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: up with you, celebrating the greatest victory Friday this state
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: has ever seen. It's Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. And in
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: the state of Wisconsin, it's the huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: Drew Billy Narman with you and our jet setter, Brewers
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: reporter and insider Hunter Baumgart joins us now. live from
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: just outside of the celebration that took place near the
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: at the summerfest grounds at st lee olsen manor hunter
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: uh you got to see a lot of celebrations throughout
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: the last month and a half how did today's uh
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: match what you watched that team do inside different visiting
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: locker rooms.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah that that might have topped it honestly today just
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: because seeing them be able to connect with the fans
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: in that way. You know, usually they're playing a baseball
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: game and sure there's, you know, they may look at
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: the crowd when they hit a home run or at
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: the end of the game there, there's a couple of waves,
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: but to be able to like, just come on a
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: stage and know that like everybody was there to honor
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: that team was just really cool to see that interaction
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: between the fans. Obviously the fans love that opportunity to give,
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: you know, an applause to all their players while they
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: talked and things like that.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: So that was just neat. And it's just wild to
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: think you.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: Start a season on the first day in Maryvale and then,
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: you know, you end your season with a with confetti
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: falling at the amphitheater on summer on the Summerfest grounds.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Like it just it it comes to an end fast.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: But like this ending was obviously the best ending you
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: could ever dream of. And so it's just it's you
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: just try to I don't know if it even has
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: settled in yet, but it just continues to to to
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: amaze really.
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're 200 games in, right? They've played like 200
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: games this year. Counting spring training and the playoffs and everything. Yeah,
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: it's pretty crazy. And I think the thing, you know,
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: every player has their own personalities. Cooper Pratt is now
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: Cecil Cooper. It's the Coop chant. It's the John Coon chant.
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: That's going to be his thing now. It's like they're
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: going to chant Coop every time he comes up. And
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: if you're old enough to remember, you might just think, oh,
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: it's because it's Cooper Pratt. Oh, it's a throwback to
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: Cecil Cooper in the 80s. It's going to be a
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: part of the lore. And some of these guys are just,
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, just getting started in their careers. And other
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: guys like Yelich and Woodruff, we obviously have known for
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: a long time. And Billy, like, you know, you're, Your
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: son's first jersey, wasn't it a Yelich jersey?
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Isn't Yelich the, you.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Know, the touch point?
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: And, I mean, he's the start of a lot of
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: this era nine years ago. But when you really think
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: about the different iterations of it, this is a different era,
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: a different window of the succession.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: And, Drew, you're right.
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, the real core guys here are kind of
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: still just getting started. Now, that does, you know, lend
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: itself to the next conversation, which... flared up on the
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: foul territory show today of how much would you potentially
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: sign William Contreras to?
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Cause that's the exciting conversations.
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: That we already get into this close, but you got,
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: a Jackson Chirio who just finished his third year in
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: the big leagues.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Luis Lara, who's up there celebrating.
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: I don't even know the second direct deposit from that
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: contract he signed earlier this year has even hit the bank.
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: And he's already a World Series champion. It's pretty remarkable
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: to think how early in some championship windows you would
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: think this is. But, I mean, I'm old enough to
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: remember 10 years ago. when a 2016 parade was being
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: held about 90 miles South. And immediately the next conversation was,
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: how does this group not win like three or four?
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: How does this team not win like two or three more? Well,
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: one guy turned out to be the worst player in baseball.
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: The other guy they traded, uh, ended up having a
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: season where he was the worst player in baseball and
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: a Contreras brothers, almost the best player out of the group.
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: So it's crazy how fleeting these moments are. You think
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: like Ted Simmons said, you know, we all thought we're
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: going to be back. We're going to be back. Well,
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: it took 44 years and another group to finally get
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: him back. It's a remarkable feat of what they were
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: able to accomplish. Yeah, I must have already had like
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: 10 people bring that up to me. It's like this
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: team can contend for a while. And are we going
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: to re-sign William? And what's the issues? And that's right
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: where you go. And I get it.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: You're right, though. It's so hard to do this.
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: You can be as good as this team was and
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: still have hit a trap door somewhere. They had to
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: win close games. They had to have moments go their way.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: It's so hard to win a World Series. It does
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: look like the future is bright for this team, but
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: you're right, Billy. You never know when you're coming back.
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: You have to appreciate every moment when they come. Like
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: Dan Campbell said, fellas don't know. I can't do it
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: as well as Billy.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know, fellas, if we'll be back. You know,
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: that's pretty good.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: He's not wrong. And Hunter was there in Pittsburgh when
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: they clinched, and it was a muted.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Celebration, right?
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a celebration, but, yeah, it was like
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: we got more things.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: Clinching the best overall record.
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: I think that the guts of this postseason was born
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: of that period after they clinched and continued to win
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: and continued.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: To, like, there was no let up at all.
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: Like, whether they were driving for the best overall record
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: or 100 wins or both, In that point, in that interim,
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: in that month of September when Yellich became the captain,
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: everything coalesced.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: But the fact that they did not stop. And what
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: was their record?
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: Something ridiculous over the last 42 games with 36-6 or
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: something like that?
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like, well, they only lost five games
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: after Labor Day, including the playoffs.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: That's insane.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: That's September 7th, too, and today's October 3rd.
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: To play at that level for that long is insane.
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: And they just kept rolling. And that's where it could
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: have gone off the rails. And that's where even... sometimes
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: veteran teams oh we have the switch and when we
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: kind of shut it down then playoffs came and we
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: turned it back up kind of like the dodgers have
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: tried to do right and it's like that to me
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: it's like that was kind of the guts of it
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: when they started winning and hunter was there for every
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: celebration i don't know i think the one when they
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: beat the dodgers and turned that place into a dance
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: club that was epic and when we saw uh you
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: know debbie adonacio dancing with.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: That's about as good as it's going to get, right?
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: That's going to be a hard one to beat.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: The other night, that was kind of the pinnacle, I think.
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: But the field celebration was muted for a pennant.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: You just swept the Dodgers, and that was what was
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: neat about these guys.
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: They truly felt like they expected to win those games,
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: and they were like, all right, this is just daily
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: business for us. I also think, Hunter, you heard a
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: couple of the guys say it in.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: The end of it, in the week leading up to.
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: The World Series of, They watched the Dodgers do the
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: exact same kind of celebration to them last year. And
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: Jake Bauer said, wait, that's how you do it. Oh,
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: you just shake hands like it's the middle of June.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Damn. We thought this was something.
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: And instead they played it to a different way.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I did just go to a baseball reference.
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: And if you guys haven't done this for just the
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: baseball nerdy fans of you, you already look up into
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: the corner on the 2026 Brewers that has World Series champions,
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: National League pennant.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: Different little thought.
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: For as many times as I went to this website
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: and looked up however many random Joe Maurer stats I
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: possibly could or any random hillbilly guy I found on
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: an 84 baseball card, pretty cool to be able to
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: see World.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Series champs sitting right next to him.
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: To never see on that franchise history list, WS winner,
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: World Series winner.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: One World Series.
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: And pretty awesome to be able to see the celebration
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: that happened inside American Family Amphitheater. We're going to play
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: it for you when we get it, when we can,
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: coming up soon. But we're going to continue the celebration here.
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: Hunter and Drew are outside of the Summerfest grounds. I'm Billy.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: That's Armin.
• 43:53
