1:22
Speaker 5: by just putting out an absolute six minute masterpiece of
1:26
Speaker 5: team building, excitement. And Drew just puts you right back in.
1:31
Speaker 5: into a game five mode. Once again, it's a beautiful,
1:35
Speaker 5: beautiful week. We've been living here in the state of Wisconsin.
1:37
Speaker 5: There've been many MVPs in this whole process, but the
1:39
Speaker 5: real MVPs amongst others are this.
1:42
Speaker 2: Brewers media team. I mean, they just kill it on social.
1:45
Speaker 5: They had this, they had this beautiful epic one yesterday
1:48
Speaker 5: with the parade and the slow-mo of the Miller light
1:51
Speaker 5: can going through the air. Did you guys see that one?
1:53
Speaker 5: That was just fantastic. The work they do is quite impressive.
1:58
Speaker 5: I mean, this is pretty good stuff. You know, they, they, um,
2:02
Speaker 5: They've really taken the kind of media highlight content material
2:07
Speaker 5: to the next level. So we've known that throughout the year. So, yeah,
2:10
Speaker 5: that was an awesome one. I would recommend it for
2:13
Speaker 5: anyone who wants to.
2:14
Speaker 2: Bask in the glory.
2:15
Speaker 5: It was merely one week ago that the Brewers capped
2:18
Speaker 5: off their World Series victory.
2:21
Speaker 2: Crazy.
2:21
Speaker 3: Crazy.
2:22
Speaker 4: Crazy.
2:23
Speaker 2: It's like, we still don't want to let go of
2:24
Speaker 2: this yet. No, I'm holding on to it.
2:26
Speaker 5: The brain vibes were immaculate. The whole thing, it was like,
2:31
Speaker 5: it's like, we did need time to recover. We needed
2:33
Speaker 5: a little refractory period to to kind of regenerate a
2:36
Speaker 5: little bit. Well, and that's the thing, because you really
2:39
Speaker 5: never even came down. You never sobered up before the parade.
2:42
Speaker 5: You just kept that hangover rolling in. Thank God the
2:44
Speaker 5: Packers did play on Thursday night this past week, because
2:47
Speaker 5: Sunday would have been completely washed out with energy and momentum.
2:52
Speaker 5: But now you do just get to settle in and realize,
2:54
Speaker 5: all right, Team stores, rally houses, and Dick's Sporting Goods
2:58
Speaker 5: are back stocked up. Go and grab as much as
3:00
Speaker 5: you can possible and continue to enjoy it because there
3:04
Speaker 5: is one Cub fan that lives in my neighborhood. And
3:07
Speaker 5: it does appear that the number of different folks around
3:10
Speaker 5: our area have all targeted him and let everybody know.
3:14
Speaker 5: Because it seems like the number of Brewer flags that have... resurrected,
3:19
Speaker 5: as Jordan Love would like to say about his wide receiver.
3:21
Speaker 5: They've all resurrected flying directly into their yard, which is
3:25
Speaker 5: a beautiful thing. Does it feel personal? Kind of the
3:27
Speaker 5: reverse of that one. Seems very attacking, which I like.
3:29
Speaker 5: You remember the Packer fan in Dallas that was just
3:32
Speaker 5: hanging out at the end of his driveway dancing around?
3:34
Speaker 5: It's kind of like the reverse of that, where he's
3:36
Speaker 5: the only one around, so he's.
3:37
Speaker 2: Going to get the brunt of it. It's been a
3:39
Speaker 2: tough week. That guy's probably doing his same dance here today.
3:42
Speaker 2: Gotta think so.
3:43
Speaker 5: I hope he's doing the same dance down there in
3:45
Speaker 5: Dallas today as big number one returns to practice and
3:48
Speaker 5: starts doing some individual drills today, Drew.
3:51
Speaker 2: Another good reason to celebrate on this beautiful hump day.
3:53
Speaker 2: Very exciting.
3:54
Speaker 3: It is.
3:54
Speaker 2: It's Hot Take Hump Day. We'll take those at 877-794-1973.
3:56
Speaker 2: If you got them.
4:03
Speaker 5: Drop them if you got them. Drop them if you
4:05
Speaker 5: got them. Your hottest takes. Like, Billy, I want to
4:08
Speaker 5: put a quarter in Billy and ask what he thinks
4:09
Speaker 5: about the Jacoby Brissette transaction.
4:11
Speaker 2: Well, I think, Drew, I was pretty damn close to
4:13
Speaker 2: being right. You were not.
4:15
Speaker 4: You were.
4:16
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, Billy's had his finger on the pulse
4:19
Speaker 5: of this quarterback stuff because he did say, oh. Packers
4:22
Speaker 5: going to listen to Tyron Taylor. And then lo and behold,
4:25
Speaker 5: they did make a move on the quarterback side.
4:27
Speaker 2: They did make a move. It was adjacent.
4:29
Speaker 5: They swap around the practice squatters with Baltimore.
4:34
Speaker 2: Not the guy that's actually going to play.
4:35
Speaker 5: Jacoby Brissett gets traded from Arizona to Baltimore. He'll now
4:40
Speaker 5: play for his seventh team in the NFL. He's traded
4:42
Speaker 5: now for his second time in his career. And Drew,
4:45
Speaker 5: that holdout that he had in the beginning of the
4:47
Speaker 5: year really worked out. Because at least now you had
4:49
Speaker 5: enough guaranteed money where they didn't want to just outright
4:53
Speaker 5: cut him. But when Mike LaFleur stepped up to the
4:55
Speaker 5: podium yesterday and said, yeah, we have this new quarterback
4:59
Speaker 5: depth chart. It's going to be my boy Gardner Minshew,
5:01
Speaker 5: number one. Carson Beck, the rookie's number two. Jacoby Brissett's
5:05
Speaker 5: going to be the emergency guy's third string.
5:07
Speaker 4: Oh, sweet. Okay.
5:08
Speaker 5: So you hate him. So you can't wait for him
5:10
Speaker 5: to be out quick enough. And then instantly there's a
5:13
Speaker 5: team that's desperate for one. So it will not be
5:15
Speaker 5: Jacoby Brissett tomorrow night, but, uh, he'll, he'll be their
5:18
Speaker 5: starter moving forward. And Derek Henry and say flowers can, uh,
5:22
Speaker 5: can rejoice because my man Joe Fiano is not going
5:25
Speaker 5: to be able to take them the rest of the wager.
5:27
Speaker 2: I can't imagine.
5:28
Speaker 5: It's definitely a better option than those guys. Yeah, this
5:30
Speaker 5: is definitely a better option. And the guy, yeah, I mean,
5:33
Speaker 5: it seemed like Jacoby and the Cardinals went off on
5:35
Speaker 5: the wrong foot early on this year, but he made
5:38
Speaker 5: the move he had to make. Holding out, he's going
5:40
Speaker 5: to get more money, and now he's going to move
5:41
Speaker 5: on to somewhere else. But the quarterback moves now for
5:45
Speaker 5: at least in the NFL. This is the one where
5:47
Speaker 5: I think the deadline for trades in the NFL should
5:49
Speaker 5: be like three or four weeks later. Because then you
5:52
Speaker 5: actually get more action, Drew, like you do still in baseball,
5:56
Speaker 5: where baseball is still maybe two or three weeks too
5:59
Speaker 5: early for teams to really start realizing that you can
6:01
Speaker 5: punt on it. Because for the next month here in November,
6:04
Speaker 5: there's going to be two or three quarterbacks that get
6:06
Speaker 5: lost for the year. And then those teams for the
6:08
Speaker 5: next six or seven weeks just become completely unwatchable. And
6:12
Speaker 5: that is the worst part of it. Not that team
6:16
Speaker 5: seasons go down the wayside. It's the fact that we
6:18
Speaker 5: got to watch some of these teams like Baltimore on
6:20
Speaker 5: Thursday Night Football tomorrow night.
6:21
Speaker 2: Now, tell me if I'm wrong. He doesn't have an agent, right?
6:24
Speaker 2: Or he didn't.
6:24
Speaker 5: That was like a well-known thing with Jacoby when he
6:26
Speaker 5: was negotiating that deal. So did he negotiate this trade too? Like,
6:30
Speaker 5: how does that work when you don't have an agent? Actually,
6:32
Speaker 5: you don't, I guess. It's the teams that negotiate a trade.
6:34
Speaker 5: But I always wonder about the few players that don't
6:37
Speaker 5: have agents and that choose to represent themselves.
6:40
Speaker 2: There's just one last call that's got to be made. Yeah,
6:42
Speaker 2: I think so, basically. The team's got to call you instead.
6:45
Speaker 5: And he's going to say, you know what, I don't
6:47
Speaker 5: have to shave any percentage for anybody else except for myself.
6:51
Speaker 2: So I guess that part of it's good.
6:52
Speaker 5: But yeah, that was in the back of my mind
6:55
Speaker 5: when I was thinking about all this stuff is that
6:57
Speaker 5: I remember, because that was kind of a storyline around his...
7:00
Speaker 5: like hold in that he, that he negotiating his own deal.
7:03
Speaker 2: Cause he doesn't have an agent.
7:04
Speaker 5: So, well now him and he goes to Baltimore where
7:07
Speaker 5: one of the more famous guys without an agent in
7:09
Speaker 5: the NFL resides. Lamar Jackson has negotiated all of his deals.
7:14
Speaker 4: It's true.
7:14
Speaker 2: Without an agent.
7:15
Speaker 5: He has, his mother is a part of his decision-making
7:20
Speaker 5: process and negotiating, but he's negotiated. They've negotiated their last
7:25
Speaker 5: two contracts. They've had, you know, some advisors and some
7:27
Speaker 5: lawyers around as well, but, He's in line to make
7:31
Speaker 5: the biggest contract in the NFL that we've ever seen.
7:34
Speaker 5: He's also negotiated to the point where he's got a
7:37
Speaker 5: full no trade clause and like $ 75 million do at
7:41
Speaker 5: the end of the year. So Baltimore is really hamstrung.
7:44
Speaker 5: And I like it from this standpoint, true. They're like,
7:46
Speaker 5: we're not going to watch the next two and a
7:48
Speaker 5: half months and have our team just completely punt. We're
7:51
Speaker 5: too good to be able to do that. I like
7:53
Speaker 5: that in the NFL. At least there's some guys that
7:55
Speaker 5: are doing it. I thought maybe Tyrod Taylor would be
7:58
Speaker 5: in the mix, but But maybe because of Veronica and
8:01
Speaker 5: Jordan's Halloween costume inspiration.
8:04
Speaker 2: Oh, how about that? The Packers drew like, we just
8:06
Speaker 2: can't give up on our backup quarterback.
8:09
Speaker 5: Way too many shots being taken by our quarterback to
8:13
Speaker 5: put ourselves into that danger zone. Yes, they were blind refs,
8:16
Speaker 5: if anyone doesn't get that reference that they were doing.
8:18
Speaker 5: So that was kind of a funny one.
8:21
Speaker 2: That was pretty good.
8:22
Speaker 3: Yeah.
8:23
Speaker 2: The sunglasses, the white canes. Well, it was the video too.
8:26
Speaker 2: Falling down and throwing the flag while you're falling down.
8:28
Speaker 2: The video too was good.
8:30
Speaker 3: Pretty good.
8:30
Speaker 5: The in motion falling down flag throw, Drew, was a one.
8:33
Speaker 5: It's as good as it gets. I think you see,
8:37
Speaker 5: will he have to apologize for that coming up tonight? See,
8:40
Speaker 5: I thought about that because, like, you know, you never
8:42
Speaker 5: get anything from Jordan. I sure hope he doesn't apologize
8:44
Speaker 5: for it when he steps up to his locker coming
8:46
Speaker 5: up here in a couple of minutes. No, he'll just say, oh,
8:48
Speaker 5: my wife wanted to do it. Maybe he'll blame Veronica.
8:50
Speaker 5: I would definitely blame the missus for that one. He
8:52
Speaker 5: doesn't necessarily... I can't get fined.
8:54
Speaker 2: It was her fault. Exactly.
8:55
Speaker 5: He doesn't reveal a lot about himself, and he's not
8:57
Speaker 5: super open about certain things. Like, you know, he's pretty
8:59
Speaker 5: even keel at the podium.
9:00
Speaker 2: It's a lot of... But Veronica's the one that gave.
9:03
Speaker 5: Us the silly body thing that gave us this thing, too.
9:06
Speaker 5: So maybe she's the one to... To reveal Jordan's personality
9:10
Speaker 5: a little bit more. And I'm okay with that if
9:11
Speaker 5: that's the case. Well, I mean, like every, most relationships,
9:14
Speaker 5: she probably picked out the costume.
9:16
Speaker 2: She picked it out. She came up with the whole idea.
9:19
Speaker 2: Laying it out.
9:19
Speaker 4: Yeah.
9:20
Speaker 2: Congratulations. Pretty good.
9:21
Speaker 5: You're going to make some news with this. We weren't
9:23
Speaker 5: making fun of NFL referees. We were just referencing Foot
9:26
Speaker 5: Locker employees. yes doing that's what it was we tried
9:30
Speaker 5: to buy some jordans for the little one and they
9:32
Speaker 5: just kept stumbling and fumbling their way through my wife
9:35
Speaker 5: told me we're doing a tiktok video i don't know
9:36
Speaker 5: what these things are all right i just i just
9:38
Speaker 5: put the costume on and did it okay sorry we
9:40
Speaker 5: have a baby at.
9:41
Speaker 2: Home i don't have snap face yeah i don't have snap.
9:43
Speaker 5: Face the plausible talk or whatever murph said that's just
9:47
Speaker 5: like the plausible deniability that old guy coaches have about
9:51
Speaker 5: social media is always perfect because you know they kind
9:53
Speaker 5: of know but they can always say i don't know.
9:54
Speaker 2: What that what's going on with that i'm not on
9:56
Speaker 2: the internet all right guys Yeah. I don't know.
9:59
Speaker 5: Yo, Belichick thing. He's probably further behind the curve. Yeah,
10:03
Speaker 5: especially now after somebody left out of here.
10:06
Speaker 2: Well, now that he doesn't have to put mermaid pictures
10:08
Speaker 2: up on the internet, right?
10:10
Speaker 5: I mean, Hudson's like seeing someone else, but they still
10:13
Speaker 5: hang out and work together, and she's seeing someone else apparently. So, okay,
10:17
Speaker 5: hold on. You got more tea on this. So she's
10:19
Speaker 5: still working there? Yeah, that's what they still work together
10:22
Speaker 5: and they're still around. There's a picture of them and
10:24
Speaker 5: Nantucket this summer.
10:25
Speaker 2: He's probably scared of her.
10:26
Speaker 5: He's probably scared she's going to pull some sort of
10:28
Speaker 5: contract deal on.
10:29
Speaker 2: I guarantee that's what it is. Well, it's a fascinating view.
10:32
Speaker 5: He's the only one that survived the whole thing.
10:34
Speaker 2: I mean, think of him. Lombardi's gone for.
10:38
Speaker 5: Interesting reasons about recruiting and different companionships that seemingly were
10:43
Speaker 5: happening throughout.
10:44
Speaker 2: Steve Belichick is gone. Yeah.
10:48
Speaker 5: I guess I wouldn't be surprised if he would want
10:50
Speaker 5: to make sure that nobody thought anything weird about him.
10:52
Speaker 2: It's a weird deal. And my man Billy Edwards is playing.
10:55
Speaker 5: Post yesterday, Bill Belichick's family is breathing a sigh of
10:58
Speaker 5: relief following his split from Jordan Hudson.
11:00
Speaker 2: But their worries are far from over.
11:03
Speaker 3: My.
11:04
Speaker 2: The family's concerns haven't completely gone away. That is so
11:07
Speaker 2: well dramatically written.
11:10
Speaker 5: Well, they don't know what the collateral damage is going
11:13
Speaker 5: to be until they kind of wait.
11:14
Speaker 2: Bill's family never really had an issue with the age
11:16
Speaker 2: difference between him and Jordan.
11:18
Speaker 5: Their concerns were more about how involved she became in
11:20
Speaker 5: his professional life.
11:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the issue.
11:22
Speaker 4: That's fair.
11:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, we all had that problem. You can be a
11:26
Speaker 2: young girl.
11:26
Speaker 5: There were certain people that were very proud and excited
11:28
Speaker 5: for him. Very involved in his business affairs, but they
11:32
Speaker 5: don't really know the full extent of her involvement. Well,
11:35
Speaker 5: that's the that's the that's going to be the complicated
11:37
Speaker 5: thing to untangle. Well, also how much of his holding
11:39
Speaker 5: she has for all the real estate.
11:40
Speaker 2: Holdings and all the things. But didn't the story say
11:42
Speaker 2: they broke up like a year ago? That's the thing.
11:45
Speaker 2: So if the family's just finding out about it now.
11:47
Speaker 2: News just broke.
11:48
Speaker 4: Good for them. October.
11:49
Speaker 2: Maybe they were still hanging out. Late last year, they
11:51
Speaker 2: called it quits.
11:52
Speaker 5: It takes a long time to release yourself sometimes to
11:54
Speaker 5: those things.
11:56
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
11:56
Speaker 5: Maybe she was still living there or at least had
11:58
Speaker 5: some sort of like driving his car. You don't know
12:00
Speaker 5: what's going on with these. Hey, that's the bed you
12:04
Speaker 5: get in there.
12:05
Speaker 2: That's the soup you get in.
12:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, pause.
12:07
Speaker 5: I mean, it's a wild thing. That's the bed you
12:09
Speaker 5: get in. He gets nervous and immediately goes back to
12:11
Speaker 5: soup and food. Listen, I didn't say I wasn't. I'm
12:15
Speaker 5: not going to sit here and say I told everyone
12:16
Speaker 5: that was going to end badly. He immediately goes to
12:19
Speaker 5: aisle two, Drew, to try to clean it up.
12:22
Speaker 4: Whatever.
12:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, aisle two.
12:23
Speaker 1: Yeah.
12:25
Speaker 5: Well, listen, but that's the thing. If she's still involved
12:28
Speaker 5: with the program, she's got to have something going on then.
12:31
Speaker 5: That's interesting.
12:32
Speaker 2: That's a fascinating deal.
12:34
Speaker 5: We would have had a lot more Bill Belichick smoke
12:36
Speaker 5: this week if they would have been able to finish
12:38
Speaker 5: the job.
12:38
Speaker 4: That's right.
12:39
Speaker 2: They would have won this past weekend.
12:40
Speaker 5: They also would have potentially completely ended Notre Dame's season.
12:44
Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys were watching and following
12:46
Speaker 5: any of the college football drama that went down last night.
12:49
Speaker 5: They were the much less important polls that came out
12:52
Speaker 5: last night.
12:53
Speaker 3: And.
12:54
Speaker 5: people were not happy about it people were not happy
12:57
Speaker 5: about where notre dame went where miami went where ohio
13:00
Speaker 5: state went but apparently.
13:01
Speaker 2: Well those are the polls everyone was watching last.
13:03
Speaker 5: Bill belichick could have knocked notre dame completely out of
13:06
Speaker 5: the college football playoff they would have been able to
13:07
Speaker 5: finish that thing.
13:08
Speaker 2: Off on saturday night that was a fascinating thing to
13:11
Speaker 2: be able to.
13:11
Speaker 5: See well and that's why and that's.
13:13
Speaker 2: Why you're following it billy for everybody i.
13:15
Speaker 5: Was i was trying to eye it up i was
13:16
Speaker 5: watching as much of it as possible also appreciate that
13:19
Speaker 5: i love how mad people get Guys, it's week eight.
13:24
Speaker 5: It's week nine in college football. It'll be okay. There'll
13:27
Speaker 5: be plenty of time for them to fix it. They
13:29
Speaker 5: might even have four more games to be able to
13:31
Speaker 5: play for all of this to actually settle itself. Yeah,
13:33
Speaker 5: you can, you know, as a team, you can control
13:36
Speaker 5: your own destiny a bit by, you know, winning games
13:38
Speaker 5: in the field.
13:38
Speaker 2: Win the one this weekend. It might help. Win the
13:41
Speaker 2: game this weekend.
13:41
Speaker 4: It might help.
13:42
Speaker 5: It's like, but you said it a while ago. When
13:45
Speaker 5: it was just four, it's the greatest. It's basically an invitational.
13:48
Speaker 5: It's just the greatest invitational party there is. And you're
13:51
Speaker 5: trying to get an invite to that party. And that's
13:53
Speaker 5: all it is. So, hey, everyone's excited as we get
13:57
Speaker 5: closer to the playoffs for those polls and things like that.
14:00
Speaker 2: So, it's excellent.
14:02
Speaker 5: Did the Badgers get a mention, Billy? Just wondering because
14:04
Speaker 5: I know people were trying to. I think they got
14:07
Speaker 5: the only mention they got was despite their lone sizable
14:12
Speaker 5: victory being against Wisconsin. Yeah, the Badgers didn't even get
14:15
Speaker 5: a shout out.
14:16
Speaker 2: In Notre Dame's best win.
14:18
Speaker 5: They gave that at least on the bottom third to
14:20
Speaker 5: their win against North Carolina this past weekend.
14:24
Speaker 2: Which was a three-point road win.
14:26
Speaker 5: I would have thought, I would have hoped they would
14:28
Speaker 5: have thought, you know, beating the brakes off Wisconsin week
14:30
Speaker 5: one at Lambeau would have been categorized as that.
14:33
Speaker 2: But no, they slid back.
14:34
Speaker 5: Iowa did insert themselves back into the top 25. The
14:38
Speaker 5: Bruins right up there near the top and the Hoosiers.
14:42
Speaker 5: Indiana was one that people were very upset about. They
14:46
Speaker 5: drew a 60-yard field goal to tie the game just
14:49
Speaker 5: to get into overtime. And they slotted in at four,
14:52
Speaker 5: and people were like, wait a second. So if they
14:54
Speaker 5: would have rowed the boat and got up out of
14:56
Speaker 5: there with the victory, 16-13, would they have been out?
15:00
Speaker 2: Fascinating. It is interesting. Notre Dame is still the number
15:03
Speaker 2: one trending topic on X.
15:05
Speaker 5: As they will continue to be. Just where we left
15:08
Speaker 5: off a year ago. But luckily, we'll change it to 24,
15:11
Speaker 5: and none of this will matter. There are crazy states
15:14
Speaker 5: of the world that we're upset about not getting in.
15:15
Speaker 5: It almost seems like they're... They're engagement farming here a
15:19
Speaker 5: little bit with the Bulls.
15:20
Speaker 2: Let's get people talking.
15:22
Speaker 5: You might be right about that. And then the market
15:24
Speaker 5: might correct them. Cooler heads will prevail and it'll settle. Well,
15:28
Speaker 5: ESPN would make some sense to throw six SEC teams
15:33
Speaker 5: in there.
15:33
Speaker 2: It spices up a lot of their matchups coming up
15:35
Speaker 2: this weekend. Definitely.
15:36
Speaker 5: You've got to have some good tinfoil hat. When you
15:38
Speaker 5: start getting into college football, there's more territorialism than just
15:44
Speaker 5: about anything in sports. and your frustration of they are
15:47
Speaker 5: still out to get us, it never ceases to amaze me.
15:50
Speaker 5: It is conspiratorial a lot for a lot of people.
15:53
Speaker 5: They think there must be a reason that they don't
15:55
Speaker 5: like us. This guy hates us for this reason because
15:58
Speaker 5: he actually lost to us when he was a player
16:00
Speaker 5: 28 years ago.
16:01
Speaker 4: Yes.
16:01
Speaker 2: That's why you're eight and not six. That's exactly why.
16:05
Speaker 5: That's when they start investigating every part of the story
16:08
Speaker 5: of every individual person on the committee. I remember when
16:13
Speaker 5: the Badgers didn't get a seat they liked. And in
16:16
Speaker 5: the NCAA tournament, it is because so-and-so didn't like the
16:19
Speaker 5: fans throwing bottles in Milwaukee or why they didn't come
16:22
Speaker 5: to Milwaukee.
16:22
Speaker 2: What was that last year for the tournament?
16:23
Speaker 5: Why they didn't come to Milwaukee and everyone was on
16:25
Speaker 5: it about this one guy that didn't like it. It is.
16:28
Speaker 2: You're right, Billy. It's very tribal in that sense.
16:30
Speaker 5: People get to be like very conspiratorial about their own
16:34
Speaker 5: team and stuff. But yeah, to your point, Drew, that's
16:36
Speaker 5: probably what they want. Engagement farm. I think that's what
16:39
Speaker 5: they're doing. Get as much conversation as possible. They take
16:43
Speaker 5: over right now in a lot of spaces. That would
16:46
Speaker 5: be very 2026 of them. They just need one Gen
16:51
Speaker 5: Z-er in the back to say, guys, I do think
16:54
Speaker 5: you need to move a couple of these teams around.
16:57
Speaker 2: Not good enough rage bait.
17:00
Speaker 5: This isn't going to trend nearly enough.
17:02
Speaker 2: You guys got to spice this thing up a little bit.
17:05
Speaker 5: You guys don't know how to go viral on the internet.
17:06
Speaker 5: How do we throw Utah in at three? Let's really
17:09
Speaker 5: spice this thing up.
17:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm digging that.
17:12
Speaker 5: So, it's been one week, as mentioned. We're going to
17:14
Speaker 5: talk to Bill Schroeder momentarily.
17:16
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't wait. Cannot wait.
17:18
Speaker 5: And I'm wondering, my question would be to you guys
17:22
Speaker 5: and to everybody out there, have the parade and rally
17:26
Speaker 5: memories and mental images usurped the baseball highlights in your
17:31
Speaker 5: montage of, like, glory and as you think about it?
17:34
Speaker 2: That's a good question, Drew. It's been a week. Celebration
17:36
Speaker 2: versus actual moments.
17:37
Speaker 5: But, yeah, the shotgunning of beers and the parade. That's
17:41
Speaker 5: what I remember now. And I have to think back
17:43
Speaker 5: because we were having this discussion about your favorite moments
17:46
Speaker 5: from the run and stuff like that.
17:48
Speaker 2: Vocal boxing on stage. It's definitely the algorithm's favorite right now.
17:51
Speaker 4: Yeah.
17:52
Speaker 2: It's all parade. I'm still getting it. I'm still getting videos.
17:55
Speaker 2: I'm getting all parade out. And I still watch. I'm
17:57
Speaker 2: not turning them off. No doubt about it.
17:59
Speaker 4: Hell no.
18:00
Speaker 5: And I saw maybe my favorite meme of it yesterday
18:03
Speaker 5: was a video making fun of it because it's You
18:06
Speaker 5: spending 20 hours of your day telling your kid to
18:09
Speaker 5: get off of their phone or to give you back
18:11
Speaker 5: your phone in case of me. And instead, it's just
18:14
Speaker 5: me scrolling and watching Sal Freelick dance around the stage
18:17
Speaker 5: a couple more times. Yeah, I keep trying to tell Lena,
18:19
Speaker 5: don't you want to watch a parade? Like, instead of
18:22
Speaker 5: Miss Rachel, we can watch a parade. I can put
18:24
Speaker 5: that parade back on TV. You know, I still haven't
18:26
Speaker 5: watched the eight hours. And then, well, the thing about
18:29
Speaker 5: it is, you know, people will talk about, okay, this
18:31
Speaker 5: is a great baseball market. Look at the ratings. Look
18:33
Speaker 5: at the people. Look how passionate these fans are. That's
18:36
Speaker 5: all true. But right behind being a great baseball market,
18:39
Speaker 5: we're a great... party market.
18:41
Speaker 2: I mean, we love the party.
18:42
Speaker 5: We love the gathering. We love the party. We embrace
18:44
Speaker 5: that more than anything else. We embrace celebrating more than anything.
18:47
Speaker 2: We're the city of festivals. I mean, that's what we do.
18:50
Speaker 5: So I think it is a wonderful thing. I don't
18:52
Speaker 5: think people want to let go. This has been the
18:53
Speaker 5: fastest week ever. I don't think we should let go.
18:56
Speaker 5: In fact, I don't think this is my... I don't want, obviously,
19:02
Speaker 5: baseball stoppage lockout. But if there was any year to
19:04
Speaker 5: do it, this is the one year I can stomach
19:06
Speaker 5: it more. You can roll around it. Because we can
19:09
Speaker 5: roll around that stuff longer. And more importantly, I can
19:12
Speaker 5: make my proposition for my first hot take of the
19:14
Speaker 5: day that we should just do a parade every two weeks.
19:17
Speaker 2: Just redo it. Rerun the parade. Let's do it again.
19:21
Speaker 2: Why not? Why do we have to stop parading?
19:24
Speaker 4: I want to do it again.
19:25
Speaker 2: Because Armin. Man, I think it was over so quick.
19:27
Speaker 2: I'm like, let's do it again.
19:28
Speaker 5: It would draw 10 people who are wired like you
19:30
Speaker 5: and everybody else would go about their lives.
19:32
Speaker 2: We would beat the Valkyries parade today.
19:34
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
19:34
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
19:36
Speaker 5: I like the fact that you were doing exactly what
19:38
Speaker 5: Murph thought we were doing. Was just going around in
19:41
Speaker 5: a big circle and seeing the same people again.
19:42
Speaker 2: Run it back. Run it back one more time. Or
19:45
Speaker 2: what you dogged Oklahoma City for potentially wanting to do.
19:48
Speaker 2: They had to. The city blocks weren't long enough.
19:50
Speaker 3: I got.
19:51
Speaker 2: But at least I'm jealous of them.
19:52
Speaker 5: Yesterday, I got fed like 25 or 30, you know,
19:55
Speaker 5: South Freelike dance videos and, you know, Robin riding on
19:59
Speaker 5: and Euchre's bike and stuff like that from the parade.
20:02
Speaker 2: And then one.
20:03
Speaker 5: montage of uh josh mauer calling the eight run calling
20:07
Speaker 5: the barrage yes yeah and like then it's like listen
20:10
Speaker 5: to josh mauer describe the hits.
20:11
Speaker 2: And like and i watched all the hits again i'm like.
20:14
Speaker 5: But it was like 20 to 1 parade to actual
20:16
Speaker 5: baseball to parade to baseball and the one that i
20:18
Speaker 5: saw that still that really stuck with me and i
20:21
Speaker 5: i think we want more of baseball parade The actual
20:25
Speaker 5: celebration after, I think as many of the news folks
20:28
Speaker 5: and the people that were down there, Hunter and company
20:31
Speaker 5: that were in the locker room, still just digging through
20:33
Speaker 5: their B-roll. I think it was Carly Murata had a
20:36
Speaker 5: video of Robin Yount talking to Logan Henderson about all
20:39
Speaker 5: the people that they had made happy. They had a
20:43
Speaker 5: minute and 20 seconds of just sheer glory and happiness,
20:48
Speaker 5: and one got in an unk telling the youngster about
20:51
Speaker 5: all the people that he just changed their lives for.
20:53
Speaker 5: It is one of the cooler videos around. I want
20:55
Speaker 5: more of those, Drew, because those I'll soak up for
20:58
Speaker 5: as long as possible. Well, for Yount and those guys,
21:00
Speaker 5: they got some closure. They got some big-time closure. As
21:03
Speaker 5: happy as Ryan Braun was, like Yount and Molitor and
21:06
Speaker 5: Simmons and Fingers and those guys who came up short
21:09
Speaker 5: in 82, they felt like this validated.
21:11
Speaker 2: Like, okay, now we're... You.
21:13
Speaker 5: Know, even for Ted Simmons to say it, who did
21:15
Speaker 5: win one, but to also not have that still fulfillment
21:18
Speaker 5: because of how close they were with that exact group
21:21
Speaker 5: in 82.
21:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt it the most from Ted.
21:23
Speaker 5: And I felt like he felt like most of us did,
21:26
Speaker 5: that it was... like a history wrong by that team
21:29
Speaker 5: not winning a world series because they're good enough and
21:31
Speaker 5: they were a world series winning caliber team that they
21:33
Speaker 5: should have won and i always was hoping that they
21:35
Speaker 5: would feel that sort of burden lifted but you don't
21:38
Speaker 5: really know because it's still not you you know that
21:40
Speaker 5: never changes that you didn't win that but it really
21:43
Speaker 5: felt that way when ted was talking about it when
21:45
Speaker 5: he held up that trophy and he's like you these
21:48
Speaker 5: guys made us all feel like champions finally wow that
21:50
Speaker 5: was powerful that was powerful absolutely Bill Schroeder is going
21:54
Speaker 5: to join us to reminisce the one-week anniversary of the
21:56
Speaker 5: Brewers wrapping up their World Series championship. Oh, baby. We're
22:01
Speaker 5: going to talk to Shanna Quinn today.
22:03
Speaker 2: We've got El Jefe popping in. Let's ride.
22:05
Speaker 5: We've got some hot takes to hump. Let's get after it.
22:08
Speaker 5: So Wednesday in the Goodland, you're in the huddle. Fox
22:10
Speaker 5: Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
22:24
Speaker 2: Monstrous winds are showing up all over Potawatomi.
22:28
Speaker 5: Drew Billy Harmon celebrating.
22:33
Speaker 2: That's right. Celebrating today. Still celebrating. I don't know when
22:37
Speaker 2: it's going to end, but we don't want it to.
22:38
Speaker 2: The one week anniversary. The Brewers winning the World Series.
22:42
Speaker 5: And joining us now on the NicoletLaw.com Talking Text Line, our.
22:45
Speaker 2: Pal from Brewers TV, Bill Schroeder. Rock, happy anniversary, my friend.
22:50
Speaker 4: My goodness, I hope it never ends.
22:53
Speaker 3: I hope it never ends. This is the most amazing feeling,
22:57
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, sports-wise, that I've ever had in my
23:00
Speaker 3: entire life. Realizing when you wake up, And the Brewers
23:04
Speaker 3: have won the World Series. Sometimes I just don't want to...
23:08
Speaker 3: If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up. I've said it
23:10
Speaker 3: a hundred times, but this is incredible.
23:13
Speaker 4: I never thought I'd see it happen, but here we are.
23:16
Speaker 5: That phrase right there, Rock, I think there's a lot
23:19
Speaker 5: of us Wisconsinites that are saying the same thing. I
23:21
Speaker 5: hate to admit it, but I think a lot of
23:24
Speaker 5: us thought that we never would see it happen. To
23:27
Speaker 5: feel it in the realization as you're rolling through the
23:30
Speaker 5: streets and the celebration is on and the parade is
23:33
Speaker 5: rolling through. How amazing was it and how meaningful was
23:36
Speaker 5: it for the stops and the celebration right around this?
23:40
Speaker 5: yukes memorial and the the mural because it was a
23:43
Speaker 5: phenomenal moment as so many of the news cameras captured
23:47
Speaker 5: everybody crossing by.
23:48
Speaker 3: There It didn't surprise me the way the Brewers fans
23:52
Speaker 3: had come out all season long, the way they filled
23:55
Speaker 3: the trop in Tampa Bay. It was unbelievable the number
23:59
Speaker 3: of Brewer fans that were in that ballpark, particularly on
24:02
Speaker 3: that final game.
24:03
Speaker 4: It seemed like it was all Brewers fans.
24:05
Speaker 3: Of course, the Tampa Bay Rays didn't have much to celebrate,
24:07
Speaker 3: didn't have much to cheer about. during that game. But
24:12
Speaker 3: I'll tell you, when you made the stop when we
24:15
Speaker 3: were in that parade and you're at the Euchre Memorial,
24:18
Speaker 3: or the Euchre... 0520 00:Mural, yeah.
24:20
Speaker 4: 0520 00:Mural, yeah, mural.
24:22
Speaker 3: And you had that parking structure that was right across
24:26
Speaker 3: the street, and there were like thousands of people hanging
24:28
Speaker 3: over the wall. and just waving and cheering and, you know,
24:31
Speaker 3: let's go Brewers and all that. It's unbelievable. It was mind-boggling.
24:36
Speaker 3: It really made you stop and realize how important a
24:40
Speaker 3: World Series victory was to the people in Milwaukee, the
24:43
Speaker 3: people in Wisconsin, Brewers fans all over the place. I
24:46
Speaker 3: had no less than 150 text messages over the last
24:49
Speaker 3: week from people I haven't heard from in years. And
24:53
Speaker 3: just congratulating us and congratulating the brewers. And they were
24:58
Speaker 3: pulling for the brewers and all this kind of stuff.
25:00
Speaker 3: So it's been an amazing time. I hope the celebration
25:04
Speaker 3: never ends. I hope the drinks stop at some point.
25:07
Speaker 3: I hope the celebration continues without the alcohol.
25:14
Speaker 4: My goodness.
25:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point.
25:16
Speaker 3: I haven't bought a drink in Wisconsin in a week.
25:20
Speaker 2: That's amazing. It better not stop. It better not stop.
25:22
Speaker 2: Let me know where those free ones are.
25:24
Speaker 5: You know what's amazing, too, is, you know, winning a
25:27
Speaker 5: World Series is a dream come true. It's never happened.
25:30
Speaker 5: We waited for it. But also, it was the acclimation
25:33
Speaker 5: of a really dominant, great team. It wasn't, you know,
25:35
Speaker 5: it would have still been great if this was an
25:37
Speaker 5: 88-win team that got hot and made a run in
25:39
Speaker 5: the playoffs and things fell their way.
25:41
Speaker 2: You know, it'd still feel great to win the World Series.
25:43
Speaker 5: But to do it with this team, a dominant team,
25:45
Speaker 5: the best team wire to wire all year, and the
25:48
Speaker 5: way they dominated the playoffs rocked.
25:50
Speaker 2: I think that is one of the most fulfilling things.
25:52
Speaker 5: 11-2.
25:52
Speaker 2: Yeah.
25:53
Speaker 4: 11-2 in the playoffs.
25:54
Speaker 3: One of the best playoff runs when you have all
25:58
Speaker 3: the rounds in the playoffs. And they didn't even go
26:00
Speaker 3: through the wildcard rounds. And so 11-2 is not a
26:03
Speaker 3: bad run through some pretty good teams. You beat some
26:07
Speaker 3: of the top teams in baseball. And the Dodgers nearly
26:13
Speaker 3: swept Tampa. And San Diego was running pretty hot when
26:17
Speaker 3: they got into the playoffs. So 103 wins. Then he
26:21
Speaker 3: add 11. How many, how many is that? 120, 114,
26:24
Speaker 3: something like that. That's an amazing season. That's an amazing season.
26:29
Speaker 3: I think that my, my math skills have gone awry
26:32
Speaker 3: a little bit here.
26:33
Speaker 2: Well, that's all right. Talking to Bill Schroeder, Brewers TV here.
26:35
Speaker 5: All right, Rock, when I saw you and Kate in
26:38
Speaker 5: the car and everybody's cheering for you and stuff, and
26:40
Speaker 5: I had friends that took video of you guys and
26:43
Speaker 5: waving to you and stuff, I'm thinking, does that allow
26:46
Speaker 5: you to maybe leave your ice cream bowl in the
26:49
Speaker 5: sink instead of putting it in the dishwasher? Maybe leave
26:51
Speaker 5: a dirty towel on the bathroom floor and not get
26:54
Speaker 5: yelled at that Kate got to share in that.
26:56
Speaker 2: Ride with you? Does that buy you any goodwill whatsoever?
26:59
Speaker 5: Because it has to be the highlight of everybody's marriage
27:01
Speaker 5: or life or.
27:04
Speaker 3: No goodwill on that. It would have been worse had
27:05
Speaker 3: she not been in the car. Just kidding. Just kidding.
27:11
Speaker 3: You know, it was funny because we were at the
27:12
Speaker 3: Baird Center and I'm getting in the car and then
27:14
Speaker 3: Kate says, well, how am I going to get down
27:15
Speaker 3: to the Summerfest grounds? And Tyler Barnes is standing there
27:18
Speaker 3: and says, well, just.
27:20
Speaker 4: Have Kate jump in the front seat with you.
27:22
Speaker 3: So there you go. It wasn't even planned out. It
27:24
Speaker 3: just happened organically, and that's probably the best way it
27:27
Speaker 3: could have happened. So I kind of took Kyle to
27:30
Speaker 3: the side and said, make sure you tell Kate that
27:32
Speaker 3: I asked about her getting in the car with me.
27:34
Speaker 4: That's it.
27:37
Speaker 3: So I still have to pick up my dirty towels
27:40
Speaker 3: off the bathroom floor.
27:41
Speaker 5: I was going to say, she posted a picture right after.
27:44
Speaker 5: Just so he knows, he's still got to go get
27:45
Speaker 5: the Christmas tree down from upstairs when we get home.
27:48
Speaker 4: I like that.
27:49
Speaker 5: That sounds like Tyler's got to be getting himself a
27:51
Speaker 5: nice Omaha steak box or something.
27:54
Speaker 2: He just upgraded himself on the Christmas list after that one.
27:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I owe him some dinner. I think
27:58
Speaker 3: I owe him some dinner. I'll tell you, the Brewers
28:01
Speaker 3: did a magnificent job with that day, with the parade
28:05
Speaker 3: and the way they put on that rally. I mean,
28:09
Speaker 3: 18,000 people in there, and I thought the rally went
28:11
Speaker 3: extremely well.
28:11
Speaker 4: B.A.
28:12
Speaker 3: Did a great job. And I'll tell you, some of
28:14
Speaker 3: those players, they stole the show.
28:15
Speaker 4: How about Bowers? He was great. And then Frelick.
28:19
Speaker 3: I don't know where he is in his 100,000 beers
28:22
Speaker 3: that he's got to drink, but if he's getting close,
28:25
Speaker 3: I'm not too far behind, actually.
28:27
Speaker 2: You're probably right.
28:28
Speaker 5: He's going to be in a danger zone, Drew. Every
28:30
Speaker 5: time he goes out for a breakfast or a coffee, people.
28:32
Speaker 4: Are going to be giving him.
28:35
Speaker 3: They get breakfast and people are handing them beers. He's
28:38
Speaker 3: going to have to have a cooler strapped to his
28:40
Speaker 3: arm back to his back because people are.
28:42
Speaker 4: Going to expect him.
28:43
Speaker 3: When you say something in Wisconsin, you better hold to it.
28:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, you better hold up.
28:46
Speaker 5: Rock, what did it mean for you to share that
28:49
Speaker 5: with Robin and Pauly and the guys you play with
28:51
Speaker 5: and Simmons and Fingers to have those guys around and
28:54
Speaker 5: let them share in that? I thought that was one
28:56
Speaker 5: of the cooler things of the ceremony, the kind of link,
28:59
Speaker 5: the bridge to the past that 82 teams have been
29:00
Speaker 5: celebrating for so many years. Now we got this 26 group.
29:04
Speaker 5: but they were involved in part of it. What was
29:05
Speaker 5: it like for you to share that with them?
29:08
Speaker 3: Amazing. Those, those Hall of Famers showing up and, you know,
29:11
Speaker 3: I was able to play with each and every one
29:13
Speaker 3: of those guys. And, you know, I mean, their comments
29:16
Speaker 3: up on that stage were incredible. Raleigh talking about a,
29:19
Speaker 3: you know, a bullpen.
29:20
Speaker 4: I'm not going to be.
29:21
Speaker 3: Able to, you know, use the words he did, but,
29:23
Speaker 3: you know, a kick.
29:24
Speaker 4: But bullpen.
29:25
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what they had talking about a kick,
29:28
Speaker 3: but reliever, right?
29:29
Speaker 4: Raleigh fingers. If anybody knows.
29:30
Speaker 3: About that, you know, that's him. All the three of
29:32
Speaker 3: those guys all said the right things. They were saying
29:35
Speaker 3: good things about Murph, the organization. I mean, they're all
29:39
Speaker 3: class acts. And four guys did a great job up there.
29:43
Speaker 3: So the best part of it for me was at
29:46
Speaker 3: the Baird Center when we were getting.
29:47
Speaker 4: Ready to get the parade going.
29:49
Speaker 3: They had a breakfast for us.
29:51
Speaker 4: And I was able to sit with Kate.
29:53
Speaker 3: And, you know, BA and the four Hall of Famers there.
29:56
Speaker 3: And we had a chance to, like, reminisce and chat
29:59
Speaker 3: and things like that. Those are the most important times
30:03
Speaker 3: for me, those personal times when you have with those guys.
30:07
Speaker 3: And you're really able to reconnect They all taught me
30:13
Speaker 3: so much about the game of baseball and the game
30:16
Speaker 3: of life for that matter and enjoying the good times.
30:18
Speaker 3: Because when you have bad times, it makes the good
30:22
Speaker 3: times even better. And those are some of the lessons
30:26
Speaker 3: that those guys have taught me over the years.
30:28
Speaker 5: We were just remarking, Rock, about how... And you played, obviously,
30:32
Speaker 5: with Robin and Paul, these guys, but... How it really
30:35
Speaker 5: felt like Ted Simmons, it was cathartic for him and
30:38
Speaker 5: hearing him talk about it was just fantastic. I love
30:40
Speaker 5: hearing Ted talk and the way he said that this
30:43
Speaker 5: team made him feel like a champion and that was fantastic.
30:47
Speaker 3: Nobody's more cerebral about the game of baseball than Ted Simmons.
30:50
Speaker 4: He taught me so.
30:51
Speaker 3: Much when I played for a short period of time
30:54
Speaker 3: with him, with the Brewers, you know, he was a
30:56
Speaker 3: bench coach with Ned for a year or two. And,
30:59
Speaker 3: you know, he, he, he really thinks the game at
31:02
Speaker 3: a different level. It's a chess game for Simba, not just,
31:05
Speaker 3: you know, you know, offensively, but, you know, setting up
31:08
Speaker 3: hitters and, and the way you navigate through innings and
31:11
Speaker 3: things like that. He taught me so much about all
31:13
Speaker 3: those types of things. And, you know, Sometimes, you know,
31:17
Speaker 3: he was way ahead of his time. He was into
31:20
Speaker 3: the metrics long before metrics were even a thing because
31:25
Speaker 3: that's the way he thought about the game.
31:27
Speaker 5: I had forgotten that he and Murph worked together when
31:31
Speaker 5: Ted was in the front office with San Diego, when
31:33
Speaker 5: Murph was in their organization managing.
31:35
Speaker 2: I'd forgotten that.
31:35
Speaker 4: They were together back then.
31:38
Speaker 3: A lot of respect, a lot of respect going back
31:40
Speaker 3: and forth. And we saw that when we were at
31:42
Speaker 3: the Baird Center getting ready for that parade. And they
31:45
Speaker 3: had a nice long chat and they have a lot
31:47
Speaker 3: of respect for each other. I have a lot of
31:50
Speaker 3: respect for everybody who was involved in this whole thing.
31:52
Speaker 4: I think the brewers really stepped it up. I mean, in.
31:56
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay, they had like 350 employees of the brewers.
32:01
Speaker 3: They flew them all down. There was like five jets
32:03
Speaker 3: that went down. There were a bunch of buses.
32:06
Speaker 4: There were hotels.
32:06
Speaker 3: They spent a lot of money making sure this whole
32:09
Speaker 3: organization felt a big part of this World Series adventure.
32:12
Speaker 3: And I tell you, I can't thank them enough for that.
32:15
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what the rings look like. Yeah.
32:18
Speaker 2: It's going to be wild.
32:21
Speaker 3: Well, if history stands, Pat, baseball TV broadcasters get rings.
32:27
Speaker 3: So I am praying, hoping and praying I'm still on
32:30
Speaker 3: that list.
32:31
Speaker 4: Oh, baby.
32:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, you will.
32:32
Speaker 2: There's no doubt.
32:33
Speaker 5: And there will be no phishing scam email coming like
32:36
Speaker 5: there was in the NBA. championship absolute ridiculous rock when
32:42
Speaker 5: you see it and you talk about the appreciation how
32:45
Speaker 5: are the how do the young.
32:46
Speaker 2: Guys appreciate fully what they just went.
32:48
Speaker 5: Through like cooper pratt he said it's been a nice
32:50
Speaker 5: four months it's gonna be a nice eight years watching
32:52
Speaker 5: that kid play and grow but him and cheerio 22
32:55
Speaker 5: years old how can they fully appreciate just what they were.
32:58
Speaker 3: Able to accomplish I think that Murph, I think that Yelich,
33:03
Speaker 3: I think that Woodruff, I think a lot of the
33:05
Speaker 3: veteran guys made them understand you better enjoy this because
33:09
Speaker 3: this is not as easy as.
33:10
Speaker 4: It looks to you.
33:11
Speaker 3: A lot of us have been toiling a long time.
33:14
Speaker 4: These Brewer fans.
33:16
Speaker 3: Have been waiting 44 years for a playoff run. Uh,
33:20
Speaker 3: and don't take this for granted. This is not something
33:22
Speaker 3: that's going to happen every single year. So, uh, understand
33:26
Speaker 3: that this is a, this is a special time. You know,
33:28
Speaker 3: you don't pick the playoff, the playoffs pick you and
33:32
Speaker 3: more importantly, world series victories.
33:34
Speaker 4: Pick you. And they earned every bit of it. And
33:38
Speaker 4: they dominated.
33:39
Speaker 3: They showed all season long who the best team in
33:41
Speaker 3: baseball was. And they proved it in the postseason. You know,
33:44
Speaker 3: that's the one thing I was hearing all season long
33:47
Speaker 3: going into September.
33:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're good now, but.
33:49
Speaker 3: What's going to happen in the playoffs? Well, they proved
33:52
Speaker 3: They're the best team in the playoffs this year. I
33:54
Speaker 3: think a lot of people would have been very disappointed
33:56
Speaker 3: had they been knocked out of the playoffs by the
33:58
Speaker 3: Dodgers again and said, well, here we go again. Well,
34:01
Speaker 3: they knocked that down very quickly. They swept the Dodgers,
34:04
Speaker 3: went in, and they took four out of five against
34:07
Speaker 3: the Tampa Bay Rays. They proved to all the doubters
34:11
Speaker 3: that they're good, but they also showed all the people
34:13
Speaker 3: that believed in them that there's a reason why you
34:16
Speaker 3: believed in us and we believe in you.
34:19
Speaker 5: On the way out here, Rock, what was, I mean,
34:21
Speaker 5: I know we were just talking about how the images,
34:23
Speaker 5: the visual images, the memories of the parade and the
34:26
Speaker 5: rally have kind of like taken some of the bandwidth
34:28
Speaker 5: away from the on the field between the lines stuff.
34:31
Speaker 2: All I can see.
34:31
Speaker 5: What was for you, when you look back and think
34:35
Speaker 5: of your top two or three moments from the games
34:37
Speaker 5: themselves in this postseason, what are the moments that are
34:40
Speaker 5: going to stand out to you?
34:42
Speaker 3: Well, you know, the Cheerio at-bats and, you know, the
34:44
Speaker 3: Jake Bauer at-bats in L.A. and those types of things.
34:48
Speaker 3: And the amazing work that Aaron Ashby did, you know,
34:52
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. I mean, he set a record for
34:54
Speaker 3: the most scoreless innings. What was it, 16 or something
34:57
Speaker 3: like that?
34:58
Speaker 4: 16, 19? I forget what it was. But unbelievable, unbelievable,
35:03
Speaker 4: you know. And all these young kids. And how about
35:05
Speaker 4: Cooper Pratt in Tampa?
35:07
Speaker 3: This young kid. He's barely old enough to drink, and
35:10
Speaker 3: he's dominating. He had five hits in a row at
35:14
Speaker 3: one point or something.
35:17
Speaker 4: Sure these guys look at a very.
35:20
Speaker 3: Young age, and it gives you hope for the future.
35:22
Speaker 3: I mean, I know the Brewers need to figure out
35:25
Speaker 3: a few things with Bowers and Terang, and I know
35:28
Speaker 3: they offered Bowers a contract and Contreras and those guys,
35:33
Speaker 3: but I think the future is bright for this organization because.
35:36
Speaker 4: They're so young.
35:37
Speaker 3: And Matt Arnold, I'm telling you, this guy knows what
35:40
Speaker 3: he's doing. He does not make mistakes when he makes moves.
35:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, the people are very important. Murph always talks about
35:46
Speaker 5: it being the most important. Rock, as somebody that's been
35:48
Speaker 5: around the game forever and has seen a lot of
35:52
Speaker 5: iterations of it, I got to think you can appreciate
35:55
Speaker 5: the rally heater story that's coming out about this year's
35:58
Speaker 5: team from Jeff Passan of, you know, ripping a heater
36:01
Speaker 5: so you can rip the heater during the game. I'm
36:04
Speaker 5: not going to ask you to rat anybody out or
36:06
Speaker 5: sell anything out, but how long and how early on
36:09
Speaker 5: in your baseball career life did you find a tobacco
36:13
Speaker 5: sacrifice because if the others always won whether it's the
36:16
Speaker 5: but whether it's the big league chew over the top
36:19
Speaker 5: of the red man back in the day this uh
36:21
Speaker 5: this relationship with tobacco and uh in baseball.
36:24
Speaker 2: Go back a long way.
36:26
Speaker 3: I started with the skull packages, those pouches. I was
36:32
Speaker 3: back in college. I was a Copenhagen snuff guy in baseball,
36:38
Speaker 3: but I couldn't do it while I was catching. I
36:40
Speaker 3: was afraid I'd get a foul tip and end up
36:43
Speaker 3: swallowing it. That didn't last very long. I was never
36:47
Speaker 3: a big smoker. Every now and again, back in the day,
36:49
Speaker 3: it was cool. That didn't last long either, but... I
36:55
Speaker 3: find that that kind of stuff is.
36:57
Speaker 4: Going by the wayside.
36:58
Speaker 3: I know some ballparks in baseball, it's against the law
37:02
Speaker 3: to do it. You can't even dip. I think it's
37:03
Speaker 3: San Diego, isn't it? They're not allowed to do.
37:05
Speaker 4: That in San Diego.
37:06
Speaker 3: I think that's where it was, I believe. But anyway,
37:09
Speaker 3: I was never a believer. I was a believer in
37:13
Speaker 3: good luck stirrup socks, good luck T-shirts. If I had
37:19
Speaker 3: a good game, I wouldn't watch them. Of course, good
37:23
Speaker 3: for the rest of my teammates. I didn't have too
37:25
Speaker 3: many good games, so I haven't watched a lot. Anyway,
37:29
Speaker 3: I wasn't a big believer in the good luck. sniff
37:32
Speaker 3: snuff or chew or you know good luck beers or
37:35
Speaker 3: things like that.
37:37
Speaker 5: It'd only be bad for the umpire that had to
37:39
Speaker 5: sit back there i got it from our pal johnny
37:41
Speaker 5: adam when he was the assistant trainer in the early
37:43
Speaker 5: 80s told me his job was to make sure there
37:45
Speaker 5: were two packs of marble reds and a book of
37:47
Speaker 5: matches on the back of the bench right near harvey
37:50
Speaker 5: and there were certain teammates of yours rock who if
37:52
Speaker 5: they had to score from second on a hit they
37:54
Speaker 5: would go right up the tunnel and have a heater
37:55
Speaker 5: right away.
37:58
Speaker 4: That's the way.
37:59
Speaker 3: They got the air back in their lungs.
38:01
Speaker 4: That's right.
38:02
Speaker 2: And I know that that's... Back in the day, that
38:04
Speaker 2: was something.
38:04
Speaker 5: I like that the tradition is alive a little bit,
38:06
Speaker 5: that these guys were smoking heaters in the cage before games. Hey,
38:10
Speaker 5: we've heard of, like, the Red Sox teams at one
38:12
Speaker 5: World Series would do a rally shot, you know, before
38:14
Speaker 5: games or during games.
38:15
Speaker 2: We watched the cappuccino thing. Is there the espresso thing
38:19
Speaker 2: with the WBC? You just got to get a little
38:21
Speaker 2: heat in you. Got to get a little juice in you.
38:23
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, guys.
38:24
Speaker 3: You want to have a hilarious show one day, you
38:25
Speaker 3: put Johnny Adam on and have him tell stories. I mean,
38:28
Speaker 3: that guy is the funniest human.
38:30
Speaker 4: Being that has ever been born.
38:32
Speaker 3: And all of his stories, all of his stories are
38:35
Speaker 3: absolutely true.
38:36
Speaker 4: And he will have you laughing until you cry.
38:39
Speaker 5: He's a dangerous combination because he was there for all
38:42
Speaker 5: of it.
38:42
Speaker 2: He has an incredible memory. And he's the funniest.
38:45
Speaker 4: Guy in the world.
38:46
Speaker 2: It's a dangerous combo.
38:48
Speaker 3: And he helped us with the book, I remember.
38:50
Speaker 4: Yeah.
38:51
Speaker 2: Oh, no doubt.
38:52
Speaker 3: A lot of those stories. A lot of the stories
38:55
Speaker 3: in there, we were reminded of from him.
38:59
Speaker 2: No question. No question. Rock, enjoy yourself, my friend. We're
39:02
Speaker 2: still on cloud 11, I think, because it just hasn't
39:04
Speaker 2: ended yet.
39:06
Speaker 3: I hope it never goes away, guys. And I really
39:09
Speaker 3: had a good time with you guys this year. Thank
39:11
Speaker 3: you so much for going to the afternoon. I'm looking
39:14
Speaker 3: forward to next year.
39:15
Speaker 2: You bet, brother. You bet. We can't wait. We'll talk
39:17
Speaker 2: to you soon, buddy.
39:18
Speaker 4: All right. Thanks, guys.
39:20
Speaker 2: You bet.
39:20
Speaker 5: Bill Schroeder, Brewers TV, friend of the program right here
39:23
Speaker 5: in the huddle, only appearing on the huddle.
39:26
Speaker 2: What an epic, epic run.
39:27

39:30
Speaker 5: and the happiness in his voice.
39:31
Speaker 4: So happy.
39:32
Speaker 5: That is just a beautiful, beautiful thing. And, you know,
39:35
Speaker 5: they won it for a lot of folks, and I'm
39:37
Speaker 5: glad that he gets to celebrate that. He better not worry.
39:41
Speaker 5: He's just got to worry about fitting that ring. Got
39:43
Speaker 5: to make sure that we know that size, Rock, because
39:45
Speaker 5: they're going.
39:46
Speaker 2: To slap that bad boy on. That's going to be awesome. Spectacular.
39:48
Speaker 2: Going to be spectacular. All right, Shanna Quinn is going

Speaker 2: to join us today after 4 o'clock.
39:53
Speaker 5: El Jefe, John Greenberg, who also has an affiliation with
39:56
Speaker 5: those Brewers teams from back in the day. He saw
39:58
Speaker 5: a lot of things as a bad boy. I was
40:00
Speaker 5: going to say, he might have known a rally heater
40:02
Speaker 5: or two. He knows, absolutely. He's going to join us
40:06
Speaker 5: on the back end of the program. In the meantime,
40:07
Speaker 5: hot take, hump days upon us.
40:08

Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
40:19
Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers try to win their second.
40:37
Speaker 2: It's the one-week anniversary of the Brewers winning the title.
40:40
Speaker 5: Micah Parsons is back on the practice field for the
40:42
Speaker 5: Green Bay Packers. Individual work to start, and then we'll see.
40:46
Speaker 2: Thank goodness.
40:47
Speaker 5: Looking like cleared for liftoff the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, perhaps.
40:51
Speaker 5: The game at SoFi against the Rams. Which should be
40:54
Speaker 5: a heck of a game to get him out there for.
40:56
Speaker 5: You got to be able to pressure Matthew Stafford. You
40:59
Speaker 5: got to be able to get there. And it just
41:00
Speaker 5: might be when Miles Garrett is returning. Netflix would love that.
41:05
Speaker 5: As the Packers are, Drew. The streamers team. The streamer's team.
41:09
Speaker 5: Two Amazon games this year. Two Netflix games this year.
41:14
Speaker 5: They are the streamer's team. Everybody loves to be able
41:17
Speaker 5: to see them streaming live.
41:18
Speaker 2: I like it. Bucks at the Garden tonight. That should
41:21
Speaker 2: be fun. No Jason Tatum. Oh, come on now.
41:24
Speaker 5: Let's go get that second win of the year. Is
41:26
Speaker 5: that what you're telling me? I think he's on a
41:28
Speaker 5: rest day or something. If teams do this against us,
41:31
Speaker 5: I think we get a chance to make that.
41:32
Speaker 2: Over of 25.
41:33
Speaker 5: I know the bucks have started slow in the wins column,
41:36
Speaker 5: but if teams are looking at us like the rest night,
41:38
Speaker 5: you know, like the load.
41:39
Speaker 2: Management night, there's going to be a few teams doing that.
41:41
Speaker 5: We got a shot at this thing. I mean, you know,
41:43
Speaker 5: when I say at this thing, I mean, getting 26 wins. Well,
41:46
Speaker 5: they've already lowered it at the Pottawatomie Sportsbook to 23
41:49
Speaker 5: and a half.
41:49
Speaker 4: Oh, really?
41:49
Speaker 3: Okay.
41:50
Speaker 4: All right.
41:50
Speaker 5: Well, if you waited, you might get a chance for
41:52
Speaker 5: some value here. But you got to believe in your
41:54
Speaker 5: team a little bit. You have something to shoot for.
41:56
Speaker 5: You know, it's going to be a year of transition
41:58
Speaker 5: for the Bucs, but I think they hang in there
42:00
Speaker 5: tonight against the Celtics.
42:01
Speaker 2: They did it against the Wolves. Let's see if they
42:03
Speaker 2: can get a dub.
42:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe.
42:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe.
42:06
Speaker 5: Listen, they're still looking for that elusive first road win,
42:10
Speaker 5: which could definitely come tonight. I like that they've at
42:13
Speaker 5: least put up 100 in every single game that they've
42:15
Speaker 5: played here this year. They haven't gotten completely blown out or,
42:18
Speaker 5: you know, they haven't been hanging in games.
42:20
Speaker 2: Celtics are favored by 11 and a half. Well, a couple, yes.
42:22
Speaker 2: I was going to say there's a 132-100 in there.
42:26
Speaker 2: Back in blown out. Expectations are adjusted this year. That's
42:30
Speaker 2: all I'm saying.
42:30
Speaker 4: That's fair.
42:31
Speaker 5: No, listen, we're pulling for him tonight. 11 and a half,
42:34
Speaker 5: you said?
42:35
Speaker 3: Yeah.
42:35
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.
42:37
Speaker 5: I would have guessed about 13 or 14. Probably with
42:39
Speaker 5: the Tatum news goes down a little bit. Man, the
42:42
Speaker 5: Celtics are explosive. They're the team, Drew, that everybody forgot
42:45
Speaker 5: about last year because their.
42:46
Speaker 2: Postseason was so bad. That's true.
42:49
Speaker 5: You kind of forget how good and how much of
42:51
Speaker 5: a wagon they were during the regular season. And if
42:55
Speaker 5: you don't like watching teams shoot threes, don't watch here tonight.
42:57
Speaker 2: Because Boston is going to shoot... A ton of them.
43:02
Speaker 2: Paul George still knocking them down after his first game, Armin?
43:05
Speaker 4: You know what?
43:05
Speaker 5: I haven't checked his game log, but he was hot
43:07
Speaker 5: for them. There's no question about it. He went crazy
43:10
Speaker 5: on that. He was questionable with a shoulder. That's another
43:13
Speaker 5: one to be helpful for. The Caitlin Clark of the NBA,
43:16
Speaker 5: according to Reggie Miller. Oh, my.
43:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, that gives us something to watch. Cause you need something.
43:24
Speaker 5: Otherwise I'm just going to keep this MLB network on
43:27
Speaker 5: where it's just rolling through every single game of the
43:29
Speaker 5: Brewers playoff run, which.
43:30
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be upset about. I'm not going
43:33
Speaker 2: to turn that down, but.
43:34
Speaker 5: It's, it's some point I do want to be able to, like,
43:38
Speaker 5: I can, I see now every angle of Jake Bowers,
43:42
Speaker 5: bad flip in LA.
43:43
Speaker 2: I think I need a little something more.
43:45
Speaker 5: I was watching Maddie and, uh, Matty B and Harold
43:49
Speaker 5: today were talking about brewers and how they're set up
43:51
Speaker 5: for future years. It was just so much fun having
43:55
Speaker 5: your team be the topic of discussion.
43:57
Speaker 2: The toast of the town. It is nice having everybody
43:59
Speaker 2: want to talk about your team a lot more. Sal
44:01
Speaker 2: was on Barstool. There's content coming through.
44:03
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
44:04
Speaker 2: Sal was on with the Barstool boys? He was on.
44:07
Speaker 2: Clips from that came out.
44:09
Speaker 5: I saw him running the race over there in the
44:12
Speaker 5: athletic competition there. Then he was on with Big Cat
44:15
Speaker 5: and all those guys. Then he did the sit-down. Oh,
44:17
Speaker 5: so he got the car wash.
44:17
Speaker 2: Let's go.
44:19
Speaker 5: We have the Brewers local. BBWAA awards. We can spin
44:24
Speaker 5: through some of those in a moment. No real surprises,
44:27
Speaker 5: but interesting nonetheless. And we'll continue to take your hot takes.
